[Nokia Lumia 800] luisillons:
Same problem here

Hi, I have the same exact problem, did you solve it already?

I have a data plan and the gps stopped working without any reason. It won´t work in any app. I´ve been with the phone for a month now.

Thank you.
[Nokia Lumia 800] irdawood:
No its not fixed, I phoned Nokia and they said wait for the next firmware update and if it still does not work they will replace the handset.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
You can always force the update with Care Suite, since you've already wiped, you've not got much to lose.
[Nokia Lumia 800] luisillons:
Thanks for answering, guess I´ll take mine to the store tomorrow...not very sure to get a brand new one though.
[Nokia Lumia 800] irdawood:
Just tried a forced Nokia firmware update via NDC and though the firmware and software has been upgraded the GPS still does not work. so will have to call Nokia Care tomorrow.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
Sounds like a hardware fault then.
[Nokia Lumia 800] luisillons:
Well, my odyssey begins...neither Nokia or the carrier are going to substitute my faulty phone.

They´ll have to send it to the technicians...

Prior to send it I´m going to wait until the battery drains, and fully charge it again. To see if it magically begins to work properly... :(
[Nokia Lumia 800] irdawood:
Well Nokia are coming to collect my device on Monday to replace the GPS unit within the device they say its a 7day turn-around.
[Nokia Lumia 800] luisillons:
I went to a Nokia dealer and to VODAFONE. Both said they would collect the phone and send it to me "fixed in 15 - 20 days"...but before giving my unit, I´ve written Nokia Care an email in order to see if they are willing to give a new one.

I´m expecting an answer from Nokia Care this week...

Will keep you informed anyway...

---------- Post added at 01:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------

Just a quick question...are you formatting your device before giving it to Nokia? There´s a lot of personal info in these devices...

Guess I´ll wipe mine. The problem is that WP can´t export contact info to SIM card so i have a hard task getting all the contacts in for a substitute phone :(
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
Stick your contacts on Google/Live and they'll just appear when you sign into a Windows/Android phone.
[Nokia Lumia 800] irdawood:
Okay just had my Nokia Lumia 800 replaced by Nokia Care for the GPS issues....and a 3 day turn around time! Can you believe it???

I am so thrilled with the care and support i received and am not not worried about purchasing furture Nokia phones due to the after-support.

PS. They took my old unit and returned to me a brand spanking new device! Thrilled to say the least. :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] luisillons:
My GPS suddenly started working today as nothing happened without nobody touching it. Can´t understand a thing.

Hope it stays that way for a long time...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Ok, this may be more of a general android question rather than device specific. I have several ISO files for various operating systems that I carry around on my memory card. Is there a way within Android ( likely similar to a dd command ) that I could burn the image to USB key? Im looking for a way to fix/repair computers on the go without needing to carry around my laptop :) ( Or download new / test releases and live boot them so to speak ).

Before you ask, yes I have a kernel that supports USB OTG and i can read/write to my usb key within my phone already. I was looking on the market for something similar to "live usb creator" but had no luck.

This is one of the only threads ive ever started and I do look around first. The information given could help many out if there is such a way :) The GS2 technically has more processing power than my n450 powered netbook ;) It would be nice to actually utilize it as such.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KillaHurtz:
From android OS I have no clue bro. However, you can try UnetBootin. This program will take an ISO and burn it to a USB drive that will boot. I do it all the time with Linux distros or Windows repair disks. Good luck :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Hi there. Thanks for the reply. I've used UnetBootin actually. I'm really looking for an equivalent that will run on android OS lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
very interesting new App potential i see here

i could myself find this useful

to "burn" a bootable USB key to fix/boot repair a dead PC or something along the lines

so, the challenge will be to port over any of the Linux tools over to Android to get it working, shouldn't be too hard

unfortunately i do not have the spare time to get into this yet

but any DEV with free time wanting a fun challenge, this is an interesting one to play with ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
I'm looking into our available commands using terminal emulation :-) So far its looking promising ( more like a cat command but still ).

If there are any Devs out there reading this, it would be a nice tool to have ;-)

In theory it should be very possible. Also, I was thinking about the possibility of porting over qtparted. Most of us techs have external USB to SATA/IDE adapters. Imagine pulling a laptop drive, wiping virii, repairing using scandisk, repartitioning borked disks, ect. Great ideas :-D This phone has more processing power than most netbooks in the market ( and actually better gpu capability too lol ). Why not put them to use !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xboxmodifier:
would be nice

I would love to see something like this. my pc hard drive has failed, New drive acquired but no win or ubuntu boot disks. If I could just put a boot on my spare 4gb micro ad... only have the phone for web access :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] neo84942011:
hi

Yes I've wanted to do the same thing on a android tablet android tablets are missing out on such software iso burning and CD DVD writer tht connects too the tablet would be great the only thing stopping me from converting from Windows to android tablet with keyboard is this problem . Google would acutely make a killing if programmes and hardware like this was out for tablets .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] neo84942011:
Same here I have a tablet with that kernel that I can connect USB drives to but no burning software gutted
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nyxee:
Try DroidDrive.

I'm going to test if it can boot iso's too.

Normally, it can boot img's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bewkuf:
Yes...I too need such apps like rufus on phone to create bootable pendrive

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

Droid drive can only be used to boot pc from phone, but it can't be used to make pendrive bootable, and that is actually what we need.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lee Cat:
From Terminal Emulator

dd if=/path/to/iso of=/block/device/id (for flash drive)

The only problem is that this method uses the entire flash drive.

Oh, and finding the block device id of your otg flash drive on android seems to be problematic.

Haven't tried it yet...

but it works on linux, and busybox

provides dd to android so...

Anyone have a way to find block device id for a usb otg flash drive?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] achandab:
ISO to USB on Play Store does this with no root
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wheezser:
Am I missing something. I've been looking for hours and the app mentioned is very suspect and unreliable. I need create windows boot aswell whether from usb of phone itself.

Can't use root option app either due to SM-S908W as my phone.

Help pls!!

[HTC Rezound] oneders65:
I followed the instructions on the HTCDev website. My phone showed the process was sucessful. I am trying to root with OneClickRoot_1.1 and it is not rooting. I am wondering it I am actually unlocked at the bootloader level?

Solved

1st mistake was did not include this file AdbWinApi.dll durring the HTC Dev unlocking process. I went through the instuctions again and still no root.

2nd mistake was that I had HTC Sync running. After I corrected mistake 1 and corrected mistake 2 I have root. The problem I have now is that bootloader will not recognize a PH98IMG.zip file on the SD card when I tried to flash a recovery.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I am going to start another thread since this problem is burried in this post.

Do a battery pull and then hold volume- and power simultaneously until the phone powers on. This should bring you to the bootloader screen. Then just look and see if it says unlocked at the top of the screen.

[HTC Rezound] ANGERisMYgift:
There is an app that can check your root status but I doubt you are rooted. I went through the same thing and it took me a bit to figure out what was wrong. Check that USB debugging and install apps from unknown sources are on , that may help
[HTC Rezound] oneders65:
Thanks for the suggestions.

Bootloader says unlocked.

Root Checker says not rooted.

problem → adb server is out of date. killing...

i had the same problem and fixed by

uninstalling and re-installing the drivers..

go to control panel and programs then uninstall

htc bmp usb driver, htc driver installer, and htc sync

then re-install all three

i rebooted the computer after uninstalling incase

then re-installed.

then try the one click root

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

driver probably will fix the problem,

but i also uninstalled and re-installed

android sdk tools and platform-tools in android sdk manager,

because at the time, i didn't know what was causing the problem
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I have installed apks using adb and gotten that message and was wondering what it was. the apps installed fine but that was on my list of questions I wanted answered before I feel comfortable enough to root. Thanks!

Either avast or comodo sandboxed HTC sync so every time I rebooted my laptop it told me there was an update even though I installed it every time. I've since added it to the white list but I don't think I've had to use it since then. I think I'll do a fresh install regardless.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I was getting that adb server out of date thing, too. Mine was because I had another adb running on the computer.
[HTC Rezound] superchaos:
Try exiting the anti-virus on your computer. Zergrush shows up as a malicious program since it wants to access root files. Even Microsoft Essentials stops it before it completes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
If you change the "User Agent" on the Dolphin browser to iPhone or iPad then when you browse the Web you will automatically be invited by many sites to download iPhone or iPad applications which are applicable to the site to enhance your experience. That rarely, if ever happens when using the Android "User Agent" and shows how much better the iPhone and iPad are supported on the Web. In addition, many professional services such as stock market trading are only available on Apple devices.

Now that Android based hardware such as the Note and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 are as good as the iPhone and iPad it is time for attention to be paid to the experience of using the Android hardware. I would like to watch Sky TV or trade on the stock market on my Note but I cannot do that because there are no applications for Android being supplied by Sky or the major stock market sites. But these applications are available on the iPhone and the iPad.

There seems to be too much emphasis on Android about the technical aspects from users and not enough about applications. At the moment, it is lack of applications which is the Achilles Heel of Android and it is a problem which will not be solved easily or quickly. It is time for Android users to raise their concerns about lack of support for Android on the Web and ask Google and the manufacturers to get it sorted. Else it may take years before Android catches up with Apple and Android tablets will continue to lag behind the iPad because of lack of applications.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] baz77:
Totally dont agree. There are so many android apps. Back in the days such Popupps were considered annoying and benevolent. What caused a lot of virusses and malware to be installed because a lot of people clicked yes. Can't believe some people consider it a feature now. I am glad Android does not have that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] berwhale:
I think the OP's comment is valid. However, if you compare the utility of Android vs iOS with Linux vs Windows on the desktop, then I think Android is doing relatively well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
It is all a matter of what you want to do with a devce and then get the one that does it best. So if the I-stuff does the things you want better, then just get your I-stuff to do it. If however android does it better then get an Android device. If your needs are mixed, then just get both...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] William Haven:
Don't you ppl use the "desktop" user agent in dolphin? i don't know about the "showing iPhone apps in webpages" you're talking. What are the advantages in iPad user agent?

Coming from iOS i agree with the 2nd paragraph, i miss some apps. That's life, there's also awesome apps in android i didn't know about 'till now. I'm also still in shock how i was living without flash. Without being essential it's nice to have it when needed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] inurb:
I use opera with desktop user agent enabled. Best browsing experience on a mobile I've ever had.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bud.de:
Also using Opera as Desktop client.

I think, that the problem you are showing will dissappear in the future, as more and more companys/developers are moving away from ios apps towards Html5 pages.

Especially for newspapers and subscription stuff, the fee apple takes is too high.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
I don't know if the application described below is available for Android tablets, but if not then it is another example why the iPad is outselling Android tablets. I just hope that ICS will attract more developers to Android so that it can catch up with Apple.

"You can buy the Kevin Kling-Chris Monroe picture book “Big Little Brother” for $17.95 and read it to your child. Or you can buy the iPad app of “Big Little Brother” for $7.99 and hear Kling read it himself — and also watch the characters move and hear the toys talk."
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aibo:
+10 000

I couldn't agree more. When I browse the web I always use desktop agent. Why cripple the browsing experience when you can use the full web access with flash etc... ?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supersurfer88:
Hey all, I have been googleing and reading a lot in this forum and others. I want to get a new android phone. Am a noob in android but a geek so definitely gonna play with it.

I have tried google and reading all, but can't find specific answers. so,

I have three options (ignoring price, all have 1ghz cpu)

1) Motorola Defy+

2) Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V

3) Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman - WT19i

I got really confused with all the specs so wanted to know how the expert choose the phone.

for example,

1) Both Sony ericsson phone have dual cam (i can ignore that because 3g isn't really great in India)

2) then comes memory, Sony Ericsson phone have 320 MB internal in both phones, and defy+ have 2gb (doesn't matter in gingerbread).

3) Defy+ have 1 Gb ROM, does ROM plays a important role?

4) I was reading the defy forums, it says it got the eFuse, so once I update, I won't be able to get back to previous ROM, so hard process for customs ROMS,

5) Defy+'s bootloader is locked and can't be unlocked, wheres Neo V's can be unlocked, why is bootloader is so important.

6) Both Sony Ericsson gonna have ICS, can anyone tell me the ETA for Defy's stable ICS release

7) I also have seen in some picture, the ICS with kernel version 3, can we change the kernel version?

8) seems I won't be able to play(root, install custom ROMs) with defy+ but can with sony, is it really true?

If am missing any issues please mark

Thanks in advance, hope to get answer
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
5. With a locked bootloader, you won't be able to flash anything unofficial.

6. See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1378691.

7. Only if you have the source for the kernel you want to change it to.

8. If no progress is made on unlocking the bootloader (probably it will be done eventually), then yes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leijonasisu:
All those phones suck. No offence but save a bit of money and get a decent phone or don't get one. You'll just be looking at everyone else's phone and wishing you did in the end. The SGS3 is only around the corner. Get an SGS2 whilst they're a little down on price.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notriddle:
I usually choose based on:

1) Locked bootloader. If it has one, don't buy. The Motorola has one. Maybe it will be unlocked eventually but maybe and eventually are bad words to bet the farm on. :)

2) Amount of activity on the phone's XDA subforum (more is better). If it has none, you want to mod it, and it wasn't released five minutes ago, don't buy.

3) Existence of a Cyanogenmod port (better if it has one). I'm a CM fan, and will run it if I can.

4) Specs and price.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CdTDroiD:
Nexus S is better than all those and probably cheaper where you are. great phone with ICS.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supersurfer88:
thanks all,

but tell me how the Read Only Memory plays inportant role?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notriddle:
ROM size doesn't if you have an SD card slot anyway. Most phones have more ROM space than you'll ever need; worst-case-scenario, you need to re-partition like the Galaxy S for ICS.

RAM, however, can make a huge difference, especially on Android with its process caching.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supersurfer88:
should I go for defy+,

can I downgrade to sbf GB, after installing the CM9/ICS?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I personally wouldn't go for any of those phones. Motorola phones... well let's just say I'm not a fan. Locked bootloaders should be a no-go for anyone wanting to mod, unless you don't mind jumping through hoops.

I'm not really familiar with Sony phones, but I don't think that they're exactly top of the line.

If money is an issue, I'd save up and get an HTC phone or a Nexus. Easier to mod, and generally better phones than what I've seen you mention, even older models. That's just my opinion, so take it or leave it, but I think you'd find yourself much happier with a phone that can be easily modded.

For the record, ROM has to do with app and data storage space. If the phone has an SD card slot then you can expand the memory up to 32 gigs, otherwise you're stuck with whatever size the phone comes with for USB storage. You can then run apps from external storage if you find yourself running low on space, but apps also run better on internal. Ram, as mentioned, also plays a vital role - in many ways more so than ROM. You'll want to future-proof your phone as much as possible when purchasing, so take these into account.

If you really want the Motorola then go for it, but I'd check out other options that you haven't listed and see what development is like for those. The more development, the better.

Clear Cache and Dalvik before flashing from another sense rom. Wipe Data as well if you are coming from MIUI/AOSP/CM. Also wipe Data if you have any problems at all

I am not responsible if this rom causes a flesh eating virus or harms your phone. If it makes you rich, well I guess I COULD be responsible for that.
