+1 for latitude. Log each phone onto latitude. Each needs its own gmail address. I have my family on there. You can also remotely enable these features online using iGoogle and the latitude gadget. :o may sound like a privacy thing, but I do it for safety reasons, or to know how much time me and my girl got alone. :beer:

[HTC EVO 3D] Night·Fire:
With any of the gps trackers, they can be off pretty far one minute and spot on the next. I've had latitude show me off of Cape Horn a few times. Also, any of them are pretty easy to bypass. Latitude allows you to set a location, hide your location or give a "general" location.

If you want something hidden, you'll have to pay. If you want something that tracks fairly accurate, it's going to be a major resource hog and will probably be something you have to download the file off of to view the places that were visited.

Latitude doesn't update constantly either. It often shows where someone was 3 hours ago, but not usually right at that moment.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
You can change this if you know their login. Just go on the web as I stated earlier.

They actually just updated maps to do this. (Update for latitude better.)

i use life360, it shows not only current location but also a history of locations, active tracking, and it has a emergency button, checkin button, and the map it shows lists the nearest fire/police/hospital in emergencies, you can also chat amongst the individuals that are connected.

i highly recommend it, its free and works flawlessly, it doesnt use up much battery life. you can even Ping to get current locations if it didnt update recently

Aloha.

I'm running a new MIUI Rom by Thunderstick but one of the known bugs in not receiving MMS. Is there an app which bypasses data issues and allows me to get these messages or even automatically forwards all MMS to my email?

If not? what's a similar rom that I can run. I used CM7 but love the MIUI fluidness and customization.

Thank you in advance :)

[HTC Inspire 4G] DEW-SCGS:
this is a noob question. i just got my inspire comming from captivate, i know they are in no way the same..anyway here is my question, when flashing a custom rom do you have to flash new radio or is that just a option.

thanks ..
[HTC Inspire 4G] scyr2355:
no need to flash new radio...it is highly recomended to have matching RIL/Radio

the radio sticky in the development explains it perfectly
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
While it's not required, the Dev for whichever rom you choose has tested various radios and will have a best match/recommended radio for that rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
like the other member said the radio thread for the inspire pretty much shows you how to flash and their is list of types of radio & rils to use and like everyone would say there is no "best" radio/ril to use.

When I flash Roms,sometimes the R/R that is already with it works great. Like good battery life signal as well. Sometimes it sucks really bad lol and I have to flash a different R/R and works so much better then the recommend one.

So it depends but most of the time your pretty good with the R/R that comes with the Rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
But please don't mistake the last sentence thinking the radio is included in the Rom. Rils are the only thing included. The radio stays with you from Rom to Rom. I know that's what you meant just making it clear to the new guy. :)

I got your 10 char right here

[HTC Inspire 4G] sloanster:
Inspire Radios Rils

I think radios are location specific, meaning what works in TX maybe will not be so good in PA.... U-DIG?

Also, If you follow the directions to the letter = minimal risk to the Brick store...

Its possible to change a radio and Ril out in about 5 min, wait 20-30 min before testing, not a bad deal for better battery life, better down-load speeds, better signal strength!!!

Does anyone know how to create live wallpapers from .dream files? I'm highly interested in this however I'm unable to find anything that will do this for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] Adiost:
Live wallpaper isn't just a video file or Adobe Flash file, it's an application, like any other android app it requires development skills.

Dream**** (I forgot how this thing is called in Vista) files are just .avi files with a small manifest.

So there's no way to convert it.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
If its an avi I'm pretty surevyou can use videopaper in the market

Edit wrong name but I know the app exists

Sent from my HTC Evo 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] Adiost:
Well, thanks for the info.

But anyway I was right, it's not a conversion from .dream to .apk.
[HTC EVO 3D] Antibios:
Just with the assumption of how that must work I assume that must make it possible to literally watch your battery like a countdown timer.
[HTC EVO 3D] shiny shoes:
any news? Maybe just getting a video format from .apk and them we can use it in dreamscape
[HTC EVO 3D] saboture:
Sorry for the long wait time. It is possible to use them as live wallpapers. Install Deskscapes, apply the dream on your computer, then check in

C:\ProgramData\Stardock\DeskScapes\ExtractedData

and you'll find that deskscapes converts all of the .dream files into either .mpg .avi or .wmv, then load them up in a live wallpaper video app. Unfortunately most dreams are 1080p so the resolution will be wrong on your phone unless you're using something with a 1080p display.

Hi am a total noob here so i deicided to update my galaxy S 4G to 2.3.6 but i don't like how it looks or what it changed to the phone and i basically want to go back to stock firmware or 2.3.4.

I know you can use Odin to complete this task but am not so sure which version or how to perfrom this task...so i need a brief tutorial on how to bring it back to normal (download links would be helpful) Thank You
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Did u update your phone OTA?

Also 2.3.4 is GB which is basically the same as 2.3.6.

I think whar you want is to go back to froyo which is 2.2.

Just ssearch for the KD1 file to flash your phone with Odin back to Froyo.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] coolcar14:
Well i did not update my phone Over the air i used kies mini but before my phone was on 2.3.3 and i want to go back to that stock firmware any links would be nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Prior to the 2.3.6 update in Kies Mini the stock firmware was Froyo-based (2.2.1 which was KD1). If you're wating to go back, check the Dev section. There's a sticky for the Bible that can point you to some other ROMs. Search the Dev section, too, if you're looking for a specific ROM/version.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] coolcar14:
I am so confused all i want to do it bring the phone back to stock i dont want any roots....anyway i was able to search this up from the bible and i got this tell me if it will work

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
That first link will get you onto KF1, which was a leaked GB ROM. The second is KD1 (Froyo) but has root and those things. I don't know of any non-rooted Froyo based ROMs on here, though someone may be able to correct me on that.

I looked in the file and that particular ROM does not have the boot loaders. Give me a few minutes & I'll try to find you a link.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
We don't have true stock kd1. Someone is supposedly working on it. You can get close or....call t mobile and tell them you don't like the upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Try this one. It's KC1 and flashable via ODIN. Once you have this, then use the KD1 you found in the Bible to get to KD1.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/kc1c...k.zip/download

+1 to what Bassmanjames said regarding no stock KD1. You're kinda stuck until one is developed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] coolcar14:
Its okay thank you guys for trying and helping.

Who knows maybe Samsung just might release 2.3.7 (highly doubt it thought)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Definitely doubtful but I don't think you'd see much of a user interface (UI) change. That would probably come from getting Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) which, again, doubtful but we keep hoping :)

Let me know if you need help getting that to flash via ODIN.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
I highly recommend Valhalla Final, which is a custom ROM, but is stock solid and stable and is 2.3.6.

I believe it will be the best we could get out of this phone.

Samsung will not give us ICS.

Besides, according to Google changelogs the only difference between 2.3.6 & 2.3.7 is the Google wallet service.

Hi all,

Please forgive me if this seems like a dumb question but... Can I flash the Bell I9100M CSC onto my unlocked International I9100 AND what are the subsequent consequences (ie: will it wipe my device, etc)?

Allow me to explain... I live in Canada and am on the Rogers Network and I bought the International I9100 from a store here in Edmonton LOOOONG before the I9100M was available here. I am all rooted up, running the CheckRom RevoHD v4 firmware which I LOVE but I have noticed lately that my Internet connection is quite slow and some apps are very laggy to start, etc and I cant figure out why. *NOTE* I did not have this same problem on other Custom ROMS such as SensatioN, Lite'ning, Criskelo, etc and the only other thing I have done as of late is place an Aluminum Bumper case on the device.

I have also recently flashed the KH3 modem which I believe is the modem that was STOCK on my device when I purchased it (I have flashed so much since then I dont remember) and I also see in the BELL thread that KH3 is giving the best performance here in Canada but that didnt seem to really solve anything so I am wondering if flashing the Bell I9100M CSC to my device will be COMPATIBLE #1 (with my device AND my CheckRom ROM) and will improve my performance #2?

If anyone has any ideas, please advise...

Thanks,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You can flash any CSC as its only a few text and XML files .Not actually required to make the phone work as all it is is local network connections and the APN details etc .

example

CSCEdition>ED003</CSCEdition> <Country>UK</Country> <SalesCode>O2U</SalesCode> <NbNetworkInfo>2</NbNetworkInfo> -<NetworkInfo> <MCCMNC>23410</MCCMNC> <NetworkName>O2 UK Pay Monthly</NetworkName> </NetworkInfo> -<NetworkInfo> <MCCMNC>23410</MCCMNC>

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Thanks for the answer jje. Will flashing the CSC give me a better and faster internet experience?

Will it wipe my device?

Please advise...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
No, CSC is *just* APN settings and some bundles apps, it will not help.

Make sure you have the right APN for your network (google it, or use one of the app in the market)

As far as improving your mobile net, trying different modems is the way to go, as they are really the only part that effects data speed/signal/etc.

Hi everyone,

I know there is a thread about this already but it is marked as solved and the solution that the OP came up with did not solve the issue for me and that is the only thread I could find about it. So I am starting a thread so that maybe we can find a solution the problem.

I am on windows 7 64bit and here are the steps I have taken to try and apply the update.

1. Installed WP_update_tool

2. Placed the 7740 update .bin in the same folder as the cab sender batch file

3. Ran the cab sender batch file and selected S to send the cab file to the phone but then I got an error saying that it could not find zunecfg.dll so I got the zunecfg.dll file from the location where I installed the zune software and copied that file into the tools directory where the cab sender batch file is located.

4. Ran cab sender again and it rebooted my phone into download mode and everything seemed to be going ok but then it errors out with error code 80070013 then I restart the phone and the update did not work it is still on 7720

I have tried on multiple computers with the same result on each one the big thing that I can think of that I haven't tried is using a computer running a 32 bit version of windows as I do not have access to one. But I have installed all of the 64 bit versions of the tools so I do not think that is the issue.

Attached is a copy of the log files that I pulled with the cab sender.

Hopefully one of you geniuses can help me out as I am doubtful that ATT will every get the update out...

I dunno why it took me so long to post this, I guess I kept forgetting. But basically you can block numbers from texting you, or even email addresses, as well as report spam. You just need to text 9999 and the action you would like taken. Any action you take can easily be reversed via this method as well.

For example I got tired of the 9016 voicemail text, when first running any 3.5 ROMs. You just text the number 9999 and in your message type Block 9016. Anyways, on Sprints website I found the full list of commands. Pretty nice to know. Now you don't need apps to block numbers etc. It has worked great for me and I have not received a 9016 code in months on a 3.5 Rom.

Link to Sprints page---> http://support.sprint.com/support/a...from_your_phone/case-cx832318-20091103-160141

I also went and put the Sprint Help Page Info into a zip. Just unzip it and all the info from the help guide is there. Hope it helps some of you.

RUU stands for Rom Update Utility.....it was a way created by HTC in the time of PDA Phones to update their software......they usually don't release RUU'S......almost every RUU you will find here has been leaked.......If you are using an RUU,keep 2 things in mind

1.You have a Windows PC

2.It generally wipes the data of your phone....

10. You will be flamed if you post a question that could have been solved with a little effort searching.

9.1 Most questions can be answered with a little effort searching

9. Unlocking your phone will void your warranty for software issue claims and maybe hardware issues as well. (Nobody knows for sure--which means anything you do is at your own risk.)

8. It is easy to unlock the bootloader. Go to Htc.dev to do so.

7. There are not too many DEVS right now but those who are here rock it for free and they don't have time to answer stupid posts like, how do you flash a kernal or is this going to void my warranty.

6. DEVS and Moderators are no longer spoonfeeding us answers.

5. Using fastboot is easy. Read. Reread. Then reread again. I was convinced that I was right and spent 18 hours repeating the same stupid mistake. Turns out I can read and write an appellate court brief but I can't read three lines of a post.

4. I am more than double the age of one of the most active developers....and I'm still a young man at 37.

3. Of all the time I spend searching for answers half of it is wasted sifting through duplicate posts from people asking the same question another noob had just finished asking.

2. My wife hates my phone.

And yea, I agree with number 3. The worst part is the answer is usually "use the search button".. if even once in a while they just answered the damn question, me using the search wouldn't take so (#*%ing long!

[HTC Amaze 4G] ringochan:
More truths...

I commend you for being so brave uncovering the 'truth';). However, there are still some more truths hidden beneath the XDA dungeon. What I am about to disclose must be kept here for the obvious safety reasons...

0.0. The 'Search' button is NOT as effective as those so called 'experts' want you to believe. In fact, when they say 'use the search button', they are essentially telling you (i.e. 'noobs') to 'just give up and try something else'.

0.1. The 'Search' button works perfectly if you KNOW what you're looking for. If you have no clue what the answer (for what you're looking for) might be, the search will only give you a list of some random threads which you go through for a while and eventually give up. When an expert says, "Here, I searched for you," he probably already knew the answer and used that 'key word' to get the right post, in order to make you look stupid.

0.2. There is an 'advanced' option in 'Search', which may or may not work well for noobs (hint: a sward with double edge).

0.3. Searching is a form of art. You'll need some intelligence to appreciate its effectiveness, which most noobs have not acquired. If they do have such level of intelligence, then they are no longer called 'noobs' by definition.

0.4. Most experts were noobs once when they started, but they earned the honoray title by not asking the same question that the noob next to him asked 10 minutes ago.

0.5. Noobs asking hundreds of 'stupid questions' are called Senior Members.

0.6. Reading (and reading (and reading (and reading))), after all, is the only effective medicine for noobs.

0.7. Seriously, we should require all OP's to indicate [Solved] in front of thread titles when they got an answer to their question. How often do you re-read old threads when people add a new comment to a 'beaten-up' question? Binary??

0.8. 'Search' functions in forums have not advanced in the last few decades. I'm 51 with 30 years of IT background, and, still, I am finding this subject interesting enough to post my own version.:D Someone, please stop me before I get banned for uncovering the secrets.:o

0.9 Maybe it's time to develop a good wiki page for the Amaze... though there's no guaranty that people who need it the most would ever visit such place.

Questions??:cool::rolleyes:
