It'll be back up one way or another just have to give it time, as far as anyone can tell on IRC when we were discussing this it seems all the files that were available via nookdevs.com are gone. This means that for some reason or another that the server the domain is pointing at is empty save the blank index.html that's being served up. I'm sure it'll be fixed ASAP.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angryrice87:
Hey guys, I'm new here, but I've been leeching off the wealth and amalgam of smartphone "hacking" information here since I first got my HTC Incredible.

I've moved on to a Samsung Fascinate, and I've regretted it since. But because I cannot go back, I'm stuck with this heaping pile of techo-anxiety.

Anyway, my point is,

the 2.3.5 Android update murdered my GPS

.

Since no one actually calls me, my phone is my computer-away-from-my-computer. 80% of my phone's worth to me is google maps. Now, after the update, the google maps doesn't work!

I've scoured the internet for help, but all I can find is very outdated information on how to fix the GPS when on 2.1 or 2.2. I can't even get to the LBS testing mode because the dialer codes don't work.

GPS Aids doesn't work, either.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME, PLEASE?! D=

I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER! (Or, at least until I forget about you in about a day--hey, at least I'm honest, but I will be truly thankful--and so will everyone else who's been shafted up the butt by Verizon or Samsung.)

Tell you what, though, I will never buy another Samsung product again. EVERY Samsung product I've ever owned has failed on me--some even multiple times. Why can't my people make anything right? (yeah, I'm Korean)

Edit: Furthermore, I can't seem to root it since 2.3.5. Superoneclick just freezes.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
Go to the general section find my guide that says how to flash a rom/cwm recovery/root/ or go back to stock and follow section 4. Basically you will be reflashing 2.3.5. The ota update has been causing folks alot of issues. My guide will get u back in business!

Then follow section 5 to root!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angryrice87:
Thank you, sir... I love you...

Section 4 did the trick, and my GPS works beautifully well.

I will also give Section 5 a try soon to root my device!

Once more, thanks!

Same Problem

Hello! I am glad to see the problem is fixed. I am having the same issues but am a little less tech inclined, so is it possible to get a bit more detail, or step by step instruction on how to accomplish this? Thanks so much!!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
My guide in the general section has everything you need as already posted lol...If the guide is not noob friendly enough for you then, A) you need to do alot of research, or B) you shouldnt even consider flashing a rom as a brick may be around the corner.

Gps died

A few weeks ago my gps stopped getting a lock. I am stock 2.3.5 on a fascinate. I only understand some of the very basic lingo around here, like i get what OTA is, but have no idea what Odin is. I really need my gps to work. I didnt do anything new that could be linked to its recent failure. While I was driving over the weekend, a few times the navigation got a lock for a while after up to twenty minutes of searching, but mostly it gets no lock anymore. I have used gps status and the first time it worked after I downloaded assistance data and reset cached data, but since that first success it has stopped working and I have not been able to repeat any success with the gps status.

So, I am willing to try flashing various roms and such, but maybe I need even more basic info before I try to follow the aforementioned guides, since I don't know what any of that stuff is that is referred to in the guides. Where do I start, can it be fixed?

I have wanted to visit these forums forever, but with kids and life and such, have not had the opportunity to educate myself on these types of things. I think you guys are awesome. :D:D

I found out it was the mp3 search app that was spamming me by running Airpush Detector. 'Airpush' allows the app to send you ads even when the app isn't running. If you have the Android market Mp3 app uninstall it and go to the Amazon market and they have an Mp3 search app without the Airpush spam.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
Just bought an Evo Design battery for use in my G2. Everything fits fine, but I just had a question regarding the differing battery voltages. My previous battery is rated at 3.7v, and this new one is 3.8v. Not a big deal, but when using a battery status app the voltages are rated at about 4.16V (new battery) and 3.63V (old).

This seems like a large difference, so I'm just curious if any harm could come from using a battery with a higher voltage? Not my area of expertise....
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:

[Acer Iconia A500] mythek88:
Wow that looks stunning, thanks for posting. Would u be able to share your exp regarding its responsiveness and/or lag if any? Also does installing this automatically disable the stock launcher? Im concerned about having two launchers running at the same time and eating up all the resources. Thanks in advance
[Acer Iconia A500] mrmela:
The Launcher is selected by default once you press the home button.

Once set, do not run with two launcher.

No lag at the moment, very smooth
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
One more question mrmela, does it take long time to launch? Users sharing their experience on the Market say that it shuts down as long as you start an application and then it takes quite some time for SPB Shell to start again. Is this true?

Sorry for asking but its a bit expensive for that sort of app and I'd like to be sure it performs well. Thank you once again for the video.:)
[Acer Iconia A500] jon-.-:
Yes you can set it as the default launcher but the stock launcher will always be running in the background unless you freeze or uninstall it.
[Acer Iconia A500] mrmela:
When you quit an application, it takes about 5 \ 7 seconds to reload, but not for all apps.

Keep in mind that this is the first time works on the tablet, definitely will be improved also in view of ICS .......

This is no correct! The stock launcher no work in background.
[Acer Iconia A500] TinkerDude:
Wow! I first bought SPB Shell for my old WinMo **cough** phone and it was a decent launcher. When the 3d version came out, I bought it for my EVO Shift and wasn't too impressed. It looked OK on the EVO 3D, but wasn't anything special compared to the HTC Sense launcher and I thought at the time that it might be more suitable for a tablet. I just installed it on my A500 and holy crap! Eye candy for sure. If you have friends who are iPad fanboys and you want to piss in their corn flakes, just put it in carousel demo mode for them.

Peformance-wise, I noticed just a bit of lag when using live wallpaper (which they recommend against when you go to enable live wallpaper in the settings), but no lag with static wallpaper. Returning to the homescreen after exiting an app doesn't seem any slower than returning to the stock home screen. I also like the vertically scrolling, non-paginated app drawer with 3d effect.

It is kind of a bummer that SPB doesn't offer a trial or a "lite" version, but I'm glad I can finally use what I previously bought. A tablet is where the app really belongs.

[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
That is what I was expecting
[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
When I load ADWLauncher on fresh restart the Stock Launcher is not running in the background. Im sure its the same with the SPB Shell Launcher.

If I load the Stock Launcher first then start ADWLauncher it will stay running till I stop the process.

I dont think it would be smart to freeze the Stock launcher or uninstall it. If you would happen to have a problem with your current launcher then you may be in trouble and have to reflash your rom.

At least thats what Im thinkin

Somebody want to test that theory.
[Acer Iconia A500] danaobrest78:
I've bought the 1.5.2 version.

During 2 days, SPB worked perfectly ...

Now it doesn't work anymore ! Everytime I start the tablet, I have to lauch it manually but it doesn't run. I tried to use it with a soft wich optimize the RAM ...

Unsucessfully.

I will try with an alternative ROM, like the "Honeylicious Icy Faux HC Stock Based" ... Maybe it will bette works ...

[Acer Iconia A500] jon-.-:
I always uninstall my stock launcher on all my devices and ive never had a problem. But what youre saying about it running is probally true, Ill test if I ever get some time :).
[Acer Iconia A500] mrmela:
The Laucher can also be 5 or 6 ..... I 3 and I installed using default SPB.

It 'just a matter of default.

When a launcher is set, the only one chosen. If you want, manually start other launcher, of course they will be in the background if not closed.

It 'very simple.

[Acer Iconia A500] Robbe902:
Hi there..

Same for me. Bought the app but the "DeviceInstaller" is a "zero byte file".. Trying to download it by mobile phone (m.handster.com) only offers a (yellow) "Error loading page" message after entering the "QuickDownload" number(s).

Anyone who can offer the apk-file for download? The zero byte file is named "SPBShell3D1.5.2.21085.apk".

(for those who didn't purchase it, its worthless. So, no "bad intention" behind the request!)

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

OK. I found it out myself, how to get the file.

When on the Handster site, you see your purchase at the Account infos.

Go to the row of the Shell3d app and right click on the "DeviceInstaller" button. Copy the link.

Open a new tab of your browser and post it there BUT: remove the "type_ota" at the end of the link, so that the link looks like this:

www handster com/download_spb_shell_3d_android_enjoy_your_phone.html?action=list_builds&installer_

(^^ URL dots are missing because of my new membership here and spam prevention)

Then you can download the apk (11.1MB (11.667.993 Bytes) and put it to the phone. After Installing the app, you'll be asked for the serial and everything is fine.

Have fun.

OK, but when you buy a brand new washing machine you expect it to work flawlessly with all its features without having to wait for the manufacturer to fix some of them . SPB Shell 3D is heavily overpriced just as all their products. They don't offer a trial so their Shell 3D is supposed to work flawlessly.

:D
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Lol I do agree as well as understand your frustration. At least you bought a new washer that gets downloadable fixes instead of buying a new washer that can't be sent back to manufacture to be fixed at all :-)

I think it's great!

Download no problem. Installs smooth.

Really nice weather app. Only thing, had to use Network Select for the time settings for some reason (some of the features wouldn't display, N/A) under Manually set for time. Sometime last year, Russia decided to not use daylight savings time anymore, so pre-programmed Time settings (Moscow GMT+3) are no longer valid. Most people set it manually. More a problem with HC than the app. Solution is to set GMT+4 and use network settings.

No lag at all. Very sweet!

15$ is a bit high for a launcher though. That's 2 bottles of Vodka!!!!!!

9$ would be more reasonable. Hope there are some future upgrades coming ;)

any idea?
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
When you run resources consuming game, SPB loads off the memory, so it takes time to reload it again. It's normal, don't worry.
[Acer Iconia A500] arjuna_adek:
waw..nice info....ty i will try
[Acer Iconia A500] tgtoys:
Downloaded this a while ago..paid the $15...not impressed.

Don't get me wrong, there's some really cool features and stuff that I'm impressed by. But this launcher is lacking in MAJOR ways.

Its extremely heavy..meaning it's a resource hog. If you run another memory intensive app it will probably cause SPB to reload, which takes FOREVER. Way longer than any other app.

NO SCROLLABLE WIDGETS. No resizing widgets. Really? REALLY?! This is stuff that FREE launchers have been doing for a while now ..low cost paid launchers for even longer. No themes, no renaming apps on the homescreen or even changing icons, the app drawer is slow, ugly, and does not remember where you left off if you close it, very limited on customization and options...

I could go on and on...but the moral of the story is this:

SPB Shell is cool in many ways, some good Widgets and overall looks really nice. I turn it on sometimes when someone else is using my tablet, I'll switch to it to show off some cool stuff. But underneath, it's very weak. Maybe a beginner will appreciate the flash and glamour, but as a power user I need more. A lot more for $15! I use ADW EX on my phone and tablet, and I'm WAY happier for less $. But, it took a lot of work to set it up exactly how I like it. Noobs with money will love SPB. Anyone else, don't bother.
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
I emailed SPB about the reloading and laggy some what laggy transitions. I assume they are talking about android 3.x.x or 4.x.x because that is what I said I was on.

Due to Android memory management specifics SPB Shell 3D could be unloaded while running as a background process. We are investigating this problem and looking forward for the resolution of this issue. Thank you for understanding and please follow our updates.

If you are using 3-party task managers (e.g. ES Task Manager), please add SPB Shell 3D to the list of exceptions

And to reply to last statement I do the same thing I'm not really impressed with it on my tablet on my phone it's a different story really fast and never reloads thats what I sent them the email. Maybe you should send them one try and fight for ur 15 bucks get your opinion to them they do listen.
[Acer Iconia A500] tgtoys:
Honestly, the lack of options and features that are found in most other launchers is what bothers me the most. I can understand the reloading due to the graphical nature..but for $15, I expect to have the features that are oh so common in like every other launcher.
