[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OnOffPT:
Copilot and Sygic are not true alternatives to TomTom

Could you please give examples on how does Copilot and Sygic compete with TomTom ? I have tried both and I still keep looking forward a TomTom on Android.

Starting with Sygic:

It was crashing so much on my Galaxy S2 during the trial that I didn't need to bother to buy it for further testing.

Copilot Live Premium was the best for Android and I actually bough it.

Among the many interesting features, Copilot allows you find alternative routes according to the traffic information (paid service but worth it). The most unique feature that I couldn't find in any other Android navigation software was the "Drag the route or destination to fine-tune your itinerary" where you can adjust the route like in the Google maps on your desktop, defining waypoints to avoid typical congestion points like road works or temporarily closed roads.

Overall Copilot is nice but there are some serious TomTom features missing like:

-TomTom HD Traffic

-Map Share technology (continuous TomTom and User map fixes). This is a serious missing feature.

TomTom is very basic in compared with other competitors but it is very stable.

Sygic and igo

I have both Sygic and igo on my Samsung (incase one crashes in the middle of nowhere!) and find both excellent, but prefer Sygic although its heavier on system resources. (Sygic is closest to tom tom since it actually uses tom tom maps!);)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nearlygod:
I´m not a big fan of TomTom, but i had it one my Winmo and my iPhone and i can compare it to Sygic, iGo(Winmo) and Copilot.

TomTom misses some important things, like giving you proper information where exectly you have to go (street name, direccion).

BUT: Where i live, it´s the only navigation system, google maps/navigation included that finds the best routes. All others come with crappy results and Sygic and Navigon are mad.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motodroidfreak:
How i see if TomTom works by loading maps from a storage device (sdcard) and Google maps uses ur internet to download up to date maps from Google servers.

So if they it's a new highway TomTom would not see it till you update the maps on your own while it auto does it for Google maps...

Im not sure about the other to.. Copiloet is not free and idk how it works its between 9.99 and 52bucks :(

Google Maps isn't always up to date. Still yet to see the new roads in my area which a new housing estate was built on two years ago.

edit: just checked Bing's maps and they have the new roads mapped :eek:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpUpAndAway:
Coming from WinMobile to Android, I'm also waiting for TomTom.

Google Maps? No way. Not everywhere you go, here in Canada, has good cell phone reception. Don't mention data plans are expensive.

I have tried Sygic or Navigon. Both have problem in their stability and navigation engines. I won't trust either when driving in cities with lots of twists and turns.

I'm using IGo. So far, I like it the most and it's my own navig. device. Stable, and accurate directions. Easy to use like TomTom. It's even better in address search given their intelligent keyboard input eliminating those letters/numbers not found in the neighborhood involved.

TomTom is the best in that it's stable, accurate, no-nonsense, clean and intuitive interface.

My 2 cents.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikk36:
Google Maps lags up to several years behind Tomtom PNA's.

Tomtom uses TeleAtlas maps, which it owns.

Bing Maps uses NAVTEQ.

Two different companies providing different maps at different intervals.

I also used to have an HTC Desire. I just installed a custom kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery, and there is the "backup and restore". I never used this function but it is there if you manage to get CWM on your device.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dryhte:
I don't think you can get into recovery without unlocking your bootloader.

And since you need to get into recovery to do a nandroid backup, I think you're out of luck until you unlock your bootloader...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] feed3:
There is cwm for locked bl in dev section thread by nobodyatall. I have tested it back then when my phone not unlocked yet and confirmed can go into recovery and do backup (restoring not tested tho as i unlocked my bl soon after that so for that part i cant say it is working or not)

From past couple of months, we are just porting rom from other devices, there's just few development which originally belongs to FIT. :(

Even the Mini has got now 1.3 GHz Kernel (i have read somewhere)....... we have now, quite a number of roms for fit, performance of the phone is best enhanced by the Kernels.

You are a Senior Dev of This forums, I am sure you and other Devs can come together to make a Good kernel as a team.

If we got a good OC kernel for our fit, then i am sure that even on cm7 our phone's performance will become equivalent to High end Android Devices ! :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AyuCon:
Today I was running a full titanium backup of my rooted S2.

The process stopped halfway trough (slightly greyed out screen, and no response).

I held the power button down for some time to turn it off. Turned it on right after and it showed the galaxy S 2 screen with the warning (rooted phone).

It didn't boot from there, so I tried to turn it off and on a few times.

As it didn't boot, I removed the battery and reinserted it. After this, the phone doesn't turn on at all.

No key combinations work. No download mode, no recovery and no normal boot. Tried with/without SIM/SD charger etc.

Any advice or just send it back to the shop?

How can I improve the battery life of my play with rooting? I don't want apps that kill every background app though as I may want to go back but it would be killed
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuckM:
Assuming you're on a stock rom theres a couple things you can do. The easiest would be to root and use Titanium Backup to either freeze or remove the bloatware from your phone as it runs in the background and causes drain. Another would be to look into using some of the tweaks found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1227269

Another option is to try running different firmwares, personally I found the older ones to give me better battery life while others found the oppisite to be true, so try a few till you find one that suits you. A more extreme approach which will yeild far better results is to unlock your bootloader allowing custom ROMs and kernels. With custom kernels you can over and underclock your phone while choosing more effecient governers (like the smartass governer). You can also undervolt your phone which will probably lead to the biggest saving. Custom ROMs can also increase or reduce your battery life, again, try a few. Personally I run at 1.5ghz on smartass, undervolted as much as possible with version 7.1.0.1 of CM7 and have great battery life. Also keep in mind the obvious tweaks such as turning off wifi, gps, 3g, brightness, etc to prolong battery life.

-EDIT- Also on older firmwares there was a problem with using "Automatic" under time and date where it would cause a lot of battery drain so you may want to turn this off if you think it might be a problem
