[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariocosme:
Hi guys. Simple question here:

Always thought it was strange but never had the time to check if it was actually a Apple service only. Is it possible to obtain "My Location" through Google Maps app or Latitude, whatever, only with 3G on. I mean having Wi-fi and GPS disabled, wasn't it supposed to 3G be enough to obtain my phone's location?

Yesterday my brother who owns an Iphone4 did it and i thought "how come i never couldn't with my xperia arc"?

Is it any wrong configuration on my phone, or a google configuration or is it just a service xperia arc/xperia/android phones don't have?

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
Google Maps - works over GPS or 3G(HSDPA,EDGE)

Latitude also can work like one above..

But, if you have wirelles, and GPS disabled...accuracy will be around 300-500m.

while GPS accuracy is 2m
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frothe3:
I always use Google maps with the data switch on. I usually have the GPS switch on also. Using just the mobile phone tower to use google maps doesn't accurately represent your true location, only the closest mobile phone tower the phone is receiving the signal from.

I have done this in the past, meaning using Google maps while using only the mobile phone network, since my phone at the time did not have built-in GPS.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frothe3:
Thanks, electrash, you are spot on!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
No problem, try it and let me know.

P.s (sometimes it takes longer to get your location max 1-2min)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariocosme:
So meaning that something is wrong in my phone. I have it updated and non root. I have 3G (HSDPA) on and the phone is unable to obtain "My Location" and asking me to turn wireless or GPS on. What can i do to fix it?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
but do you have 3G MB packet (pay for 200mb or etc) or you have flat internet on phone like me?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariocosme:
I have a 300mb per month subscription. Is there a difference here? The 3G or data connection isn't the same in both cases?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
yes, but sometimes if you run out of MB Packet this wont work, i dont know why.

I have to go now, when im back i will find some app to test your phone (market seacrh)

Till then, have a nice day :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariocosme:
Everything is working now. I needed to check in the location configuration the use of wireless and data connection to obtain position. LOL My bad! Thanks for all the help anyway! Cumps

Hi All

sorry for asking this. If there is a thread that can help, i appreciate for the reply. Is it possible to have the video call option at the Dialing option. Rather using external software like Qik.;)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
this is dev section , and by using gingerclone you can but i really do not see the reason why you would use it as smartphones with front face cams have oovoo, skype, fring, qik useable so it not really nessary

Hello everyone,

I've been looking for the "PC49IMG.zip" file for the recent ClockWorkMod recoveries in order to flash the recovery through HBOOT but I can not manage to find them, does anyone know where I can get those files?

Thank you.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDeveloperX:
Why not flash through ADB?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poinu:
Because I think it's easier to do it through HBOOT and, if you want to do it through ADB you have to install software on your PC.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poinu:
and well... I don`t really know how to do it through ADB
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymobi:
You just rename the zip to PC49IMG.zip

Or use terminal emulator

Place recovery zip on root of sdcard then,

Type: su then press enter

Type: flash_image recovery / sdcard/recovery name.img

(Replace recovery name to exactly the same as recovery zip name) press enter then exit and reboot phone.

Please read up first to double check cos I take NO responsibility for anything going wrong.

Either of these should work:

http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-BT3030-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset/dp/B000XT3L7W
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kn0wBuddy:
I can confirm that the first (the Sony-Ericsson MW600) works well with the E4GT. I have not tried the Jabra BT3030 but it also looks similar to the OP's reference.

From experience, I know that the MW600 has an FM radio which works well, but is quite small so it's less noticeable but has smaller buttons and slightly tricky volume control. The MW600 also attaches with a clip which isn't very heavy-duty, so take that into consideration. It looks like the BT3030 is lacking the FM radio and is larger/more bulky hanging around your neck, but might have easier to use buttons and has the option of not using a clip.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kn0wBuddy:
The bluetooth headset I have (Sony-Ericsson MW600) works well with Google Music (and stock E4GT Music, and Pandora), so I assume the Moto bluetooth headphones would work also.

Looks like those headphones plug into the bluetooth control (remote) unit, which is what the OP doesn't want.

The only thing I've found which looks like it's close to what the OP is asking for is this:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
Let's face it. We all know that Synaptics Pinch to Zoom is laggy and buggy but what if we change the way of zooming in and out? I was messing around with a Samsung Galaxy S II and I was pretty amazed when I saw the technique that was used to zoom in and out.

In order to enable zooming, you put two fingers on the screen (Dual-Touch).

To zoom in, while keeping your fingers there, you tilt the phone towards you.

To zoom out you tilt the phone forward.

By this point I guess you have understood that the phone used the accelerometer to zoom.

So, what if a dev made a module or something for this? Wouldn't it be great?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gocegi:
Just try to google and find the X8 gesture moddule one guy posted in the dev section few months ago, and got deleted because it was stolen from someone else's work. It has ONE finger pinch to zoom, which is by far better than the S2. Trust me, I speak from experience ;)

My problem is with the battery. How can reset the battery so that it battery life shows up properly? Phone will die, yet it says there is 5% of battery life when I restart the phone while charging. This happens when I restart the phone while recharging.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry but i didnt understand you, can you give some more info about problem.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frothe3:
Happened quite a bit before the update. Phone would die, plug phone in to charge, power phone back up, the I would see the phone charging with 5% battery life!

I know you can reset the battery life indicator, since there was a post about it on the X10A, which was my previous mobile. I know you fully charge the battery, hold the back key several times to reset the battery life indicator.

The reason I have to reset the battery life indicatoris several times I had to remove the battery since the mobile froze.

I just updated to 2.3.4, and the mobile is acting much more stable. I have fell in love with the Arc all over again! Bootup time is much faster, and it seems that colours are more vivid. Also, noticed much needed improvements in speaker volume and the camera now can zoom.

Im not quaitly sure, but i thin battery indicator CANT be more accuracy than 5%...

My phone is on service center, so i cant prove it and cant test it, but in my memories i think when my phone run out of battery, when i connect to power supply it show 4-5% (also battery is quick charged to 100%) so the speed may be the reason to :)

For those of you out there who are not in a 4G area or have been "throttled," and now find yourself unable to maintain a data connection; you must go into: Settings> Wireless and network> Mobile Networks> Network mode and choose: "GSM only." The "GSM/WCDMA (Auto mode)" keeps dropping your connection as it continually tries to connect to 4G.

In my case I am throttled and cannot maintain any connection for more than a few moments while in "Auto mode." Switching the Network mode to "GSM only" will hold my suck ass throttled "Edge" connection without dropping.

Hope this helps. . . . (and FU to T-mobile for giving us this speed deamon and then cutting our legs out at 5G)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drunknmunkie:
Why "fu Tmobile"? It's in the contract.you.signed, that you will get throttled. It's not their fault you used more than the cap. Next time watch your usage.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
Learn that sarcasm (mocking with praise) or what is actually in this case irony (saying the opposite of what you mean) is entirely based on vocal tonation and utterly impassible to convey via text.

Also this is an extremely helpful thread (see that was an example of sarcasm as it mocked with praise) since it is called "[SOLUTION]" yet has no solution to the throttling. I'm so glad you posted this (that is irony since I am saying the opposite of what I meant).

If I go into an area with no signal for a prolonged time, then come out into the air and try to make a call, not only does my Epic 4g not connect, but it does not recognize that it now has access to a signal until I enter airplane mode and then exit airplane mode.

I'm sure in the alternative I could wait 5 minutes or so for the phone to attempt to connect on its own.

Is there a setting, preference or hack that would instruct the phone to look for a connection any time I press send for a phone call or text message?

Failing that is there a widget or icon I can place on my homescreen that will refresh my data connection, the same as entering and leaving airplane mode?

Hi guys i have a samsung galaxy s2 and the phone is amazing no doubt about that but the dissapointing thing i have realised is i can backup all my contacts etc. but i cant back up my apps at all which i really need.

I do not want to root my phone because i can not take the risk of bricking it and all i need to know is there any way i can backup all my apps onto pc or somewhere.

The only reason i need to backup is because i have heard that when you update the phone's firmware it removes everything.

Last but not least if i got a micro sd card would i be able to back up all my apps to it and then restore from it as well.

Ballistic SG Case for T-Mobile

I just saw it on eBay and it looks like a great case for protection.

Here is the company's site with the standard S2. They haven't added our phones yet to their site.

http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s2-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case

Just recieved it today. I like the way it looks but it has a couple of drawbacks.

Pros:

1) Pushing the volume or power button is the best I have seen yet for the T-Mobile GS2 cases. Very fluid just like there isnt a case and the buttons make the natural noise that they make just like not using a case.

2) Seems to be the best protection I have seen for the GS2. I think it will handle a drop very easily.

3) I dont have a screen protector but the way this is designed I dont see how this case would cause any issues like the D30 cases do due to a tight fit. Its somewhat loose and should not cause the corners of a screen protector to lift up.

4) Has a great feel to it and adds some weight to the phone.

5) Protects the back camera perfectly.

6) It does add some thickness to the phone but this is because the phone is extra protected. I would say it is about 1.5x to 1.75x as thick as the phone without a case on it.

Cons:

1) The first layer is rubber and due to this fact it has a few issues.

2) Collects lint easily from your pocket.

3) Can be difficult at times to put in and out of your pocket due to the rubber.

By far though this is the best case I have had for a phone. I own a couple of TPU cases for the T-Mobile GS2 and a D30. It makes the D30 look like junk even though the D30 is a great basic case.It has some drawbacks but the pros outweigh the cons. I definitively recommend this case to anyone that wants the ultimate protection for their phone and doesnt mind cleaning the lint off everyonce in a while. If you like my review please give me a thanks.
