[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Eustace2:
I'm not sure this is a mock location solution. I am wanting the NT to allow Google Maps to pull an address/location from the IP address like the iPad and iPod do. In Gingerbread (which I think is the base for the NT) it is under Location and Security and is the setting for "Use Wireless Networks" as a source for location information.

To Miniblue, I agree that you need WiFi to pull maps if you are mobile, but this would be nice when traveling and using the NT at any WiFi enabled location to find local information and for running directions. It is also a nice feature to use with the weather apps that can automatically pull local forecasts based on the Location Services.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] latv:
Location services work with Yandex Maps (Russian). It means, it is app problem.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ProCision:
I also need this to work, I am trying to set up "Square Up" and it needs locations turned on.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Eustace2:
I have downloaded Yandex and get a different error message: "Unable to determine location" compared to "Please enable a My Location source in system settings." I am not sure if that means that Yandix is able to access location, but I am not in am area covered by the maps or something else. I will play with some other map apps to see what I get.

In the mean time, does anyone know where the My Locations setting is on the NT? We ought to be able to find it and change it with Root Explorer on a rooted device. I have been looking through the various root folders and have not found it yet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ProCision:
The nook color can enable Location Services, how is it done on that device and can we do it the same way on the NT?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jmaddocks:
Until we figure out how to enable the "Use wireless networks" setting, a near-term, very limited workaround is to use the "my fake location" apk, which allows you to manually set a mock location by entering a lat-long or slewing a map.

Yeah, kinda stinks that the NC was able to do this with just the rooted stock rom, and we can't.

Edit: just noticed the OP had the caveat "without using a location spoofer"...sorry I didn't contribute anything useful!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] latv:
Looked again at Yandex maps - first click at locating button produced the same error you mention. Second click located me instantly.

If you get "We have no data for this area", just click minus botton several times.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ProCision:
using my fake location allows square up to work, now to get the card reader to work....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Eustace2:
Tried that approach with the same result. The Market doesn't show My Fake Location as compatible with theNT. I will need to load it on my phone and export the apk for my NT. I'll be back if I find any helpful information.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Eustace2:
Thank you, Conundrum768. My Fake Location will be a good work around for now. It even works with Yandex, though I can't read Russian. We will probably need to wait until there is a version of CM9 for the NT to have access to the My Locations setting. The NT is potentially a great tablet once we get the crippled software off of it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] promek:
ok this is what ive done so far

make sure you have sqlite and root explorer on your tablet can get it on market.

navigate to data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db/secure make a backup and put it on your sd card just in case(copy the whole folder if you like)

find where it says 61 location_providers_allowed. press on the value side

you can either change it to network,gps

or change gps to network

save

then reboot

now when you go to maps the enable my location in system settings does not pop up now.

press the gps icon on the top right

now youll get waiting for location followed by your location is temporary not available.

this is a little more progress so far. location spoofer now works. we need to dig in more to find out what else can be done

i dont know if we can add or need to add <boolean name="location_wifi" value="true" />

to the com.android.settings_preferences.xml at the bottom.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Eustace2:
This is helpful information. I made the change to the settings.db/secure using Root Explorer and added the line to com.android.settings_preferences.xml. I get the same messages: Waiting for Location and Your current location is temporarily unavailable. I have been doing some research on Android location services, but haven't found anything helpful yet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] promek:
right now i have mapquest and that works and sees your location.

i also have trying by changing permissions on

com.google.android.maps.jar

com.google.android.maps.xml

com.android.location.provider.jar

com.android.location.provider.xml

No Luck on any

we need somebody who knows the inner workings of Gmaps to find why it doesnt see your location while others do. such as mapquest
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Eustace2:
I will download MapQuest to my phone and move it to the NT. As an aside, have you done anything to your NT to increase compatibility with the Amazon Market? I assume you were not able to install MapQuest directly from the market. I am wondering if I need to change the Build Properties screen resolution to 160 or make other changes so that these apps will show up.

EDIT: Transferred MapQuest to the NT and it picks up my location from the WiFi. I am wondering what server MapQuest uses to render an geolocation from an IP address. I will look around to see what was added to the settings table. It may be possible to direct Google Maps to a different server. Also tried Waze, but get a FC when the app opens.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdebay:
Another solution...

I use Mock GPS app and it allows me to set location. I use Google Earth or maps and it works fine. try it you might like it...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] promek:
I also use location spoofer pro,and it work fine when i use it in conjuction with Gmaps. Mapquest works without using a spoofer.

thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
Location spoofer pro fc's when I tell it to start spoofing.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] otisw:
Works for me too.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] str3tchb0y:
How does one acquire Mock GPS? the market tells me it is not compatible with my device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] promek:
you need to do this for it to work. once i did this it works

make sure you have sqlite and root explorer on your tablet can get it on market.

navigate to data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db/secure make a backup and put it on your sd card just in case(copy the whole folder if you like)

find where it says 61 location_providers_allowed. press on the value side

you can either change it to network,gps

or change gps to network

save

then reboot
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
I just ended up getting Mock GPS and it seems to work fine without having to tweak it.

I found it here:

and everythinggg was fine

until just NOW

:(

i was reading about low internal memory and rom etc. and i read that if you partition the sd card from cwm it will make it faster etc etc

but me being me i didnt make any kind of backup and dont have any backup at all of sd card

andddd i didnt know that doing the partition thing will clear all my data

is there some way of getting it back!!!

alll help appreciated. :(

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adeklipse:
1. ALWAYS backup your ROM before doing anything with even the smallest chance of something going wrong. I hope you learned your lesson, friend! :)

2. External partitions in SD card to provide more space doesn't give any boost in performance, so I have no idea where you read that from.

3. Did I tell you about always backing up your ROM?

To answer your question:

Since you have no recovery image, then you have no way of restoring, unless you've backed up somewhere. I would recommend to just flash another firmware from ODIN.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 123r4ka456:
next time...if you doesnt wanna lose u r data while partitioning, use ubuntu, and use tool named "gparted"
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ridwantipu.7:
is there any good recovery programme or software that any of you can advice?

i had a few pictures of my late father in it. which are no where else. :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CNghost:
I'm sorry about your father dude.. But I don't think there are any because the data on your phone is 'burnt' and there's no way of getting it back. Just like when you burn something with fire . Really sorry dude.. Wish I could help :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -SGA-:
I understand... You'll need "Bad Copy Pro". I don't endorse copy right infringement or software piracy, but it can be found on many torrent sites cracked and working perfectly. Until you get a copy and scan the microsd don't write anything to it. Only the path to the file is deleted, but the data often remains until overwritten...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] catapult1234:
I would not try using software with that important stuff you lost.

Go professional and find a recovery company. It will cost you good money, but chances are very high that it can be recovered that way.

Stop doing anything with that sd card though.

Cheers
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -SGA-:
Btw, its a windows program.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ridwantipu.7:
thank you all for suggestions and very quick respons

i shall be taking it to a professional who specialize in recovery
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] catapult1234:
Problem is that he didnt "just" delete files. He repartioned it. Probably formatted it afterwards.

Cheers
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adeklipse:
As long as you didn't rewrite the partition, there's still some chance of recovery.

On Ubuntu (although I think there's also a Windows version, too), download the testdisk and photorec programs. I once used it to recover a 70-page internship report, and it not only found those files, but also files from around 2 years ago (even some files from when the OEM people were customizing it).

It lasts around 12 hours for a complete recovery of a 250GB drive (and the data recovered will be >250GB), so I'd say around half an hour for a 8GB microSD card.

Forgive my maths.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Prawesome:
Hope you get your data back :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] cnber:
I dont know if this will help but hope you recover your files.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izta94:
Hello everyone.

I've just purchased I9001 and the version is gingerbread 2.3.3. I have a lot of application installed. When i upgrade my KIES version to 2.1.1.11124_17, a new firmware was mentioned by KIES. This is the details:-

My current version is PDA:KG2 / PHONE:KG1 / CSC:KG2 (XME)

New version is PDA:KJ2 / PHONE:KJ1 / CSC:KJ1 (XME)

If i upgrade the firmware, will i lost all my application installed?:confused:

If yes, is there any other method to back up my apps?

Attach is the picture of KIES
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broodplank1337:
Don't use Kies unless you want to brick your phone.. the software sucks so hard that will almost brick your phone 100% sure. Use Odin instead and flash XXKPS (2.3.6)

But first root your phone and save /data/apps to your local drive

I think this is allot information for you if you just bought the phone but you should read the forums ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annqx:
You can find everything you need here:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001

Go to 2.3.6 and download I9001XXKPS. You can use most of the tweaks for that.

Note: your warranty will be lost (at least formal). But its worth to do
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wormix500:
you can find a good description how to flash a rom also here

i just installed XXKPU as described above and improved it following this post from point 3 of the step by step description on (steps 1 and 2 can be ignored due to previously mentioned description)...

my sgs+ works fine now... all apps with complete app data and settings plus market links were restored with titanium backup pro within 30 min...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haribo318:
make sure not to use kies ! it bricked my phone ! use odin !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kodon:
Does KIES brick the SGS Plus only?

Before i started flashing roms i updated twice with kies and nothing happened ? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
updating with kies is a real adventure, i tried it only once, and i was lucky it gave me an error at 0% , so i just got the battery out and all worked fine after a reboot, my friend was not that lucky, it froze on 55% and he could do nothing about it, so he had to flash a stock rom with odin to get his phone working again. i don't think it can hard brick ur phone (well the chances are little, but still possible) , mostly u can get into download mode and fix the issue, for those who don't know how, they just have to take their phone to service and claim their warranty.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VasHiel:
But i like to know too...Is it a SGS plus thing? I have a SGS and updated 2 times my SGS, 2 times my girlfriends SGS and 1 time the SGS II of my sister. All with kies. Nothing happend. :)

Sooo... am i this lucky or IS it really a SGS plus thing?

If you are not interested in exploring new ways to do things, Kies is the safest way :-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jghidalgo307:
Its kind of upsetting/depressing that almost every other high end Android device had at least one ICS ROM. I hope the wait is worth it :/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 100INFINITE001:
I think it will be considering the great progress some of these guys are making. Besides we will have(most likely) multiple Roms, before LG even thinks about the OTA.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
Lol I know even nexus one is running ics, NVIDIA is a joke, the sad part it no one want to buy this phone either.

NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Depressed about a software update for a phone? Really?

What are you trying to do that can not be done with gingerbread? Maybe someone can help you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
The Nexus One was destined for high end development anyways...But even the freaking HD2 now has ICS. Now thats ridiculous :o

But yah, ICS really has nothing to be depressed over. Except for the hardware acceleration capability...now CM9 is a whole other thing. But i'm sure CM9 will be available way before LG drops the major update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] painter_:
I spent a few hours installing ICS on my daughter's Samsung Vibrant. It was nice to play with but not totally earth shattering. Some UI changes (improvements?), some different features. I was very excited about ICS now after spending some time with it, I can be patient and for the developers to work it out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Stopfakn:
+1. I tried selling my g2x on CL and everyone's first question is " is it getting ics?".
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
What do you answer?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Hopefully he directs them to thread by tombaker1.:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vago023:
I don't think there will be any official ICS from LG or Tmo considering the g2x is already discontinued.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] 100INFINITE001:
Looks that way huh. Well it is LG we're talking about. I would rather a custom Rom anyway, but that's just me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kolyan:
ICS sucks without CM. I ran ICS on my HD2 and switched back to CM7.2
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
must just be your HD2 because it runs well on my Vibrant.

Anyway, we will probably see ICS from LG at some point but that will be the last update this phone gets.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Stopfakn:
I can't lie so I tell them it should but there will definitely be a rom. I do direct them to the FAQ
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
I have ICS Passion 10.6 on my vibrant and its flawless and super fast. Still hoping I dont throw my g2x against the wall before before it finally gets it.

Let not your heart be troubled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Before you smash the G2x, flash Phoenixblood rom + Faux latest cm kernel and let us all know how you feel about your G2x then lol

I think just about all of us are anticipating cm9 but i believe i have found the best cm7 experience with 0 flaws imo with PhoenixBlood rom :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
To me is not really about ics, its about how they treat us (g2x users) if it wasn't for cm7/cerqueira this phone would be nothing, im glad i got a good one but many people got ****ty phones and the only reason they did gb was because of the lawsuit. They don't want to give us a fish (updates) and they sure as hell don't want to teach us how to fish (drivers).

I for sure dont want nothing to do with lg/nvidia, had a chance to get 2 cheap LG tvs for xmas, went with another more expensive brand!

NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Well lets not be silly here. LG makes some bomb ass TV's and I wouldn't mind owning one at a good price. I just wouldn't buy another phone from them for obvious reasons, but that's completely different than TV's.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kolyan:
It ran fine without any bug and everything working. It sucks because there is no CM Settings menu.....thats where most of the feature that I use daily are located. losing all those features to gain better new looks is pointless.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I like this phone but, because of the lack of support for it, not LG, NVIDIA and Google. Although it's blasphemy stating this on an Android focused website forum, because of the total messup with this phone, except for the devotion of independent developers and others who support/supported this phone, I will not be buying anything with NVIDIA in it, made by LG, and probably not Android. I am going to seriously consider phones which run the new Windows OS and the iPhone 5 when it comes out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ricmann1:
the way LG released GB was ridiculousness and i wouldn't be surprised if they play games with ICS also from now I am only purchasing pure google phones NEXUS!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Only problem i have with nexus phones is lack of external sdcard use, huge dealbreaker.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kolyan:
I will switch to Galaxy Nexus myself when if ever it will become available from tmobile
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Blazing angel:
Well, they are stilling selling em in Canada:p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Probably forever without any support.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] loganmc10:
Just put Cyanogenmod on there and quit complaining! It's so much better than any LG supported ROM anyway
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redfarsi:
Getting more than one software update is very pointless for a phone because new phones come out every week. Computing power nearly doubles each year for phones, so by the time a new software is released, the phone is already weak.

We had 2.2 and received 2.3, so there's no need for LG to hand out 3.0 probably half of the people have already switched phones. There certainly is no reason to rush either.

So far Google has only been supporting phones for one year. Nexus One received one update which was 2.3. Nexus S will probably receive ICS and that's it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 100INFINITE001:
I personally would like some of the things ics brings. And our hardware can definitely handle it. Its 4.0 btw.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
That really is a great rom. Been running for a day with no reboots or freezes. Weapons new clip is also a great rom. I would have to say they are the 2 most stable roms out right now, followed by Tsugi and Bionix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 95Z28:
Well since contracts (aka upgrades) only come around every 2 years, they should keep us updated at least that long on the high end phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dserber:
Which is why I buy off contract. Phone innovation moves too fast to be married to the same phone for 2 years.

I just confirmed with lg that they will be releasing ics for g2x (optimums 2x) series.

Sent via G2X-SINGH UI
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
How many times does this have to be stated: The G2X (LG P999) is not an Optimus 2X (LG P990), it is a special version of the Optimus 2X with a Qualcomm cell radio modem which has AWS 1700 MHz which is used by very few cell phone service providers. So many G2X owners have made this mistake by flashing their phones with an Optimus 2X firmware and baseband. LG has already stated that it will be providing ICS for the Optimus 2x but has not committed itself to that for the G2X. Now that T-Mobile has end of lifed the G2X, it is very unlikely that LG will provide ICS for it. If you have confirmation directly from LG corporate, not a service representative, that LG is providing ICS for the LG P999 (G2X) and you can provide the proof, then I will believe it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
You're basing it off simply on the radio?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Yes. So far nobody has been able to port Roms between G2X and O2X. MIUI was only "ported" because of the existence of CyanogenMod binaries for each specific device. If we don't get ICS compatible G2X binary blobs, then even CyanogenMod won't likely function well. The only reason it does now, is the "blobs" are available for both G2X an O2X.

FWIW, for those who are hopeful about progress of CM9, I've attached a SS of the latest status of the P990 version. Currently we can hope most of this will apply to the P999 (G2X), however we know that without official binary releases SPECIFIC to the P999, things will never work 100%.

N.B.: I have no further knowledge of ICS status beyond that in this screenshot. I do not even have direct contact with the source of this spreadsheet, I merely have the link. That's it. I am not sharing the link because I don't want those who ARE working on ICS to be barraged with idiotic comments and questions.
