Wifi triangulation is very accurate in wifi-dense areas. In ideal circumstances, with enough known access points, it can potentially achieve greater accuracy than GPS. Ideal isn't common, but in a large city, it can usually get you to within a couple dozen meters, easily.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I did this on a college campus where there is wifi radiation emanating from every building, and it worked like GPS navigation.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Umm sorry but I was also told maps helped. Thanks for the insight though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
If you are on another platform like ios then maps does help. For example my old bb 8330 had a broken GPS but when i installed gmaps the same location services (cell tower triangulation) came to the phone. However, they are built into Android.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Guess maybe it was I had to install maps to get my navigation back, either way I was wrong so.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Yeah the latitude, navigation, and places apps are included with maps.

Hi guys,

As you know, FB just has a new app, but for some reason, it does not show in the Market yet.

On your phone, click on this link and it will take you to the app. Download it and install it as usual.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.facebook.katana

I have used it today. It 's faster and has many new improvements.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Sir Incognito:
Actually turned into an update on the market and updated facebook for android. Very smoothe, fast and easy to navigate. Also has a nice and simple UI.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] fear676:
Yeah I agree I like this new app. Its about time they did something for us android users!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] boystuff:
it shows on market it just doesn't show that you have an update available, but once you open FB on market the "update" button appears.

Hey guys i wanted to try out the latest official MIUI 1.22.2 on my SGS2 so just wanted to ask you that how is the battery life on that rom and of camera wifi and other things wrks cool on it ? In simple words can it be used for Daily usage ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] messer19:
I´m using MIUI since I bought SGS2 (4 days now :D) and I must say MIUI really made a big step forward. Battery life is great (24 hours - auto sync gmail, few calls, sms, wifi at home, an hour of gaming), camera is great, everything is fast and smooth. Definitely recommend it but don´t forget to flash Siyah kernel over. It´s the best combo so far.

As far as the ROM is concerned, I am a firm believer that the stock ROM is damn near perfect, just use titanium to remove bloatware and autostarts to control what runs and when it runs.

Honestly this phone is so damn fast and stable as is, you really can't improve on it as far as real world performance is concerned. Back in the EVO days you had to flash to get the most out of the hardware, with this thing, it is perfect the way it is.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sycobob:
Is there some centralized place where one can find changes for stuff like hiding statusbar icons, adding items the power menu and settings, etc? It becomes time consuming when I decide I want to change something and I have to search for a half hour to find each change.

Particularly, I'm looking to change the behavior of the battery icon when my phone is charging. Some ROMs have the icon switching between the charging icon and the regular icon while some have the icon continually fill while charging. I know it's in framework-res.apk, I just don't know where.

I've gotten pretty good at theming, I'm just looking for references to save some time.

My computer will no longer mount my internal memory when I connect my Atrix to my PC. It recognizes the sd card, but not the internal memory. Does anyone know why this might have happened and how to correct it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyutah22:
I had this problem but in reverse, when I installed cm7, my computer didn't recognize my sd card. Found out it was a drive mapping issue as the default drive letter was being used on my network. I solved this by right clicking on "my computer", then click "manage", then "disk management". Look in the window and find your device, you can identify it by the size. Right click on it and choose change drive letter. Make it something like K or L. It should then show up. Hope that works. You do have mass storage clicked on don't you?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyDanger:
Thanks for the response. I do have mass storage on when I try to connect to my PC. Im going to try what you suggested.

Thanks again.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ja450n:
I have a similar problem from time to time, my PC will only mount the external SD Card. Generally when this happens, it's because I have an app open that's got a file lock somewhere on the internal card (e.g. Root Explorer, Music Player, Samba File Sharing, a downloading file...). I use Go Launcher EX and select "Close All Programs" in the app panel, and this generally let's my computer mount the internal card right away.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sspa:
Thanks for the hint, I had this problem before but was unable to figure out why...

EDIT: when this happens (PC unable to mount sd card or internal memory), I used to use "adb" to push files to phone instead... this is a workaround of the above issue, though it's somewhat cumbersome.
[Kindle Fire General] candi3188:
Does the KF support PDF books as well? I'm still playing around with mine and there are a few books I'd like to check out from from my local library which is still in the dark ages. Many books are only available in Adobe Epub or PDF formats and not yet available for Kindle. I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet and purchase the book or is there a way I can read one of those formats on the Kindle Fire?
[Kindle Fire General] Printerscape:
Yes. But the included PDF reader (QuickOffice) is 'meh'. It loads pages quickly, you can select text, jump around, and search, but it doesn't save your last location, and you can't put notes within it.

I've tried so many PDF reading apps to fulfill the above, and the one I recommend is ezPDF Reader Pro @ $2.99.
[Kindle Fire General] hollaatmyfoot:
You could always convert the pdf into an ebook format using calibre or any other converting programs. I did and it works fine. You can also convert epub books too.
[Kindle Fire General] littleemp:
For ebooks I strongly recommend that you use ePubs over PDFs whenever possible, it's just a much better format for the reading experience in my opinion.

If you do decide to use ePubs, I am a strong advocate of Aldiko. It is the absolute best reading app for android.
[Kindle Fire General] Glasairmell:
For me, some pdf books do not convert well to epub with Calibre. So a good pdf reader is important.

I will check out ezPDF Reader Pro Printerscape.

The other pdf reader I was looking at was Repligo Reader recommended from another post.

Added: Aldiko does not seem to work well on my KF. For .epub I really like using the Nook reader. :)
[Kindle Fire General] ZzFDKzZ:
I'm also using ezPDF Reader Pro love it.
[Kindle Fire General] gloos:
What they said. Convert to ePub or use adobe reader for free if you don't want to buy the paid app mentioned above (knowing adobe it might just be a crap app though)

Put the apk on my phone and installed it...no problems. Now yahoo released a newer verison of its mail app and I go to do the same thing. I used the 10 images I edited from the previous version and put them into the new version since the unedited ones in the new version were the same file names as the ones I edited. I pushed my edited images to the new version and sent the apk to my phone. But it won't install. I have tried everything I can find (or Google) and still the apk will not install.

If you want logo back then flash bell kernel and I do a full wipe. Your i9000m will be back. Actually if you had followed flashing instructions properly you would not have problems with 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 either.

You obviously need to learn more but here is a free tip. Don't even dream sending it for service to bell with i9000 logo! Or any traces of flashing. You would be better of if it was dead. That is unless you like to pay for out of warranty repairs.

7) start the odin program

8) once everything is downloaded and loading is complete on the sgs2 take the usb port out

Galaxy S II vs Galaxy S (Vibrant)

4.52 inch screen vs 4 inch

Super Amoled + vs Super Amoled

1.5ghz dual core vs 1ghz single

8mp camera vs 5 MP (no flash)

1080p video recording vs 720p

2mp front camera vs ............

4g data speeds vs 3g speeds

NFC vs .............

1850 mah battery vs 1500 (I think)

Dual mic vs single (I think)

Louder speaker vs loud speaker

Excellent GPS vs ...........

The Galaxy S II is definitely worth the upgrade over the Vibrant. The only part where the Vibrant shine is that it has excellent development compared to the GSII and that is mainly because the GSII is a newer device.

I've owned 2 Vibrants in the past and I can honestly say that after owning the GSII I do not miss the Vibrant not even for a second although it was a great phone at the time minus the GPS issues and lack of a camera flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ronin4740:
*chuckle* ask a question in this forum and your ensured to get at least one honest answer and at least one smart assed answer.

I also came from the Vibrant and within minutes of using the SGSII felt that it is the phone that Samnsung should have made the Vibrant be. The SGSII is much snappier, the GPS works reliably and the screen is just enough bigger that I don't mind using it to do some light web surfing.

Am sure there are some issues (there's a long thread on how bad the screen sucks but I really don't find that issue very noticeable on mine) and there is Samsung/TMobile's history of not being very quick to release updates (we're still waiting on the WiFi calling app which I believe was promised to be available at launch).

Bottom line - it's a hell of a phone and, imho, the best one available on TMobile. The only other phone I might choose over it is the Galaxy Nexus and I'm not going to jump ship to get one...

...whew. Now, go forth and by an SGSII, use it and if you like it, keep it. If not then take it back in the first 14 days and exchange it for something else :P
