[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
So, on blind faith I paid $40 to download Navigon because they don't offer a trial version. I figured for $40 it must be the best navigation app ever.

Am I wrong?!?

Can anyone help me with these annoying issues?

When I start navigation to somewhere and then hit the home button to bring up some other app, there is no way to go directly back to navigation. I have to start all over again. What am I doing wrong?

The voice says "Smith B.L.V.D." instead of "Smith Boulevard". Or "Main S.T." instead of "Main Street".

The voice does not cut out the streaming music when it announces anything. It just talks over whatever is currently playing. So it's hard to understand it when I'm listening to streaming talk radio. I wish it would either cut out the current music or offer a separate volume for navigation voice so I can make it louder than everything else.

When navigation starts, it shows me three different potential routes. But it only waits like 20 seconds for me to choose one. Then it auto selects one for me. This isn't enough time to choose a route. Is there a way to make it wait for me to examine the different routes and manually choose one?

The choice for voices is kind of limited and while they are clear sounding, most of them kinda suck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Freemantig:
I tried co pilot and it was also garbage. Some of the same problems plus old outdated maps and pretty much featureless if you don't want to pay out the ass. I've learned to just stick with Google maps and nav.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] netnerd:
i like att navigation aka Telenav, it has live traffic and lane assist. att gives you 30 days free trial. if you like it, you can get 4 years prepaid service for 249$, that' only 5.19$ a months! (from telenav.com)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Uncle Irish:
Or...... search the captivate forums and you'll get a link to the free version from telenav that works great. Its a very old thread but search telenav and you'll find it

Anyone? :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
I tinkered with Navigon, but I've realized that the best GPS navigation is actually Navigation provided by Googled Maps. Just get Ivona text to speech, and suddenly it feels like a sophisticated navigation app. I pretty much stopped using my trusted Garmin Nuvi 360 that I paid $650 for more than 5 years ago. It's on par.

Only gripe is it is too persistent on trying to get you back on the route it thinks it is best rather than figuring out that you have a different route.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ptgptg:
in case anyone is interested, here is the .apk posted in the Captivate forum and referred to above. I tested it and am happy to report that it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ironcrotch:
Does Telenav require a data connection? Google Nav is the best option imo however I travel out of cell range a lot and need something that doesn't require to have a signal to reroute me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] htc0101:
I have been using Navigon for a couple of weeks now and as far as off line navigation goes it is by far the best out there (that i have used). Sure there are some quirks but the maps are up to date, it has lane assist, speed warnings, route planning and a good POI database. The lane assist and speed warnings do not work in Canada, but worked very well on my 20 min drive to the Olive Garden on Van Dyke on Sunday :) If you are looking to use online navigation i do prefer Google Maps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ptgptg:
unfortunately, it does appear to need a data connection. I haven't played around with it enough yet to see if it has the option or ability to cache maps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Do you have any of the issues I mentioned in my OP?

Like you, I want a Navigation app that uses offline maps for when there is no data connection. That's where Navigon works.

Google maps and Telenav and most of the others don't offer this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
oops double post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] htc0101:
1. When you close the app, there is nothing in the drop down to show it is still running, but if you hold the home button to bring up recent apps it will be in there and it opens in last used state.(not as nice as google in the status bar)

2. The whole av / avenue thing i found hit and miss with different voices some pronounced the abbr, and some read it as long form.

3. I have not tried it with other audio playing.

4. I agree I hate that and don't know how to change it, I just go back and reselect destination and look really fast at the options.

5. Have not tried to find other voices yet, on my to do list.

Even with those problems still the best i have tried.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Excellent work-around, thanks!

This is hard to do when the phone is in a dock on the top of my dash, but it's a lot better than pressing multiple buttons and re-starting navigation.

I'm noticing that also. The voice I liked best (australian chick) NEVER does say "ST" or "AV", etc. in long form.

But the default male voice will sometimes do it. And sometimes not.

Yep, kind of annoying.

I guess for some folks who don't care which route they take, then it's nice that they don't have to click another button to start their route.

But I'm still new in my area and like seeing the multiple routes. It should maybe have a setting that lets it auto-select or wait for you to select a route.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bluntman420:
SYGIC is the best GPS hands down for android. OFFLINE works great. When you first install the app you download your base files and any maps you will need and then it works perfectly anywhere using only GPS and no wifi/data connection is required.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
I would agree that it COULD be the greatest, but it is not there yet. It's implementation of POIs is abysmal. The Vehicle arrow is so large on a skyrocket screen that it covers everything you might need to see. The routing algorithm is questionable. Sygic has a lot of potential, but it is not there yet; I can't recommend it.

Hopefully the developers are listening to the comments on their forum. They seem to have given up answering questions from frustrated users. Perhaps it's because they are working full time on fixing all of Sygic's problems.

GPS app developers all seem intent on having the latest flashy features while ignoring basic Navigational function. This includes Google maps BTW. For that matter, stand alone Garmin GPS units have less basic functionality than their 5 year old devices. Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile was a great program; if only they would port it to Android. It didn't have the extras, but it did the basics well. It needed better hardware though. A Skyrocket running windows mobile and Garmin Mobile XT would likely be the best GPS Navigation device on the market, period.

Basic Navigation Function:

1. Good Maps.

2. Easy and quickly understandable 2D Navigation display.

3. A strong routing ability with accurate ETA capability.

4. Clearly understandable Basic Voice instructions. (TTS nice, but belongs in the "extras" category.)

5. Good POIs and an easy useful search function.

6. The ability to create, import and use personal POIs.

7. Some customizable preferences. i.e. route: shortest distance or shortest time? Avoidances. etc...

8. Quick and accurate position lock on.

Garmin Mobile XT excelled at all of the above. Of course, #2 and #8 are device dependent as well.

Without basic navigation functions, a GPS is a toy and not a tool. Some of the way current apps and devices fail:

Epic Fail: New Garmins: "autozoom" zooms out immediately after a turn point is reached. If another turn point is immediately afterword, you are sometimes left with no guidance. Autozoom should either wait longer to zoom out, or be user selectable to "off".

Fail: Google Maps. Routing algorithm works, most of the time. Sometimes it takes you 3 blocks past your destination and then back?

Fail: Google Maps. Horrible personal POI capability.

Epic Fail: Sygic. Abysmal POI search capability.

Fail: Sygic: Difficult POI import capability.

Fail: Sygic. Vehicle cursor WAY too large on Skyrocket.

Epic Fail: CoPilot. Maps are ridiculously inaccurate.

It amazes me how good the GPS hardware is on the Skyrocket. Cold booting over the middle of the Pacific at 500mph it locks on consistently in less than a minute; often in 15 seconds or less. No other handheld GPS device I've ever used has come anywhere close to that. It locks on to a 3D position in places that other GPS devices can't even maintain an already acquired lock. Given the right app, the Skyrocket could be the ultimate GPS.
[Kindle Fire General] M-RodPRO1:
I tried installing the Asus Weather widget on my KF running CM9 and the widget displays "Not Available" any idea how to get it working? Btw the Asus Mail widget works fine :) Oh and if possible also the MyZine widget ported to KF would be great but that's extra haha any help is well appreciated :D
[Kindle Fire General] QuBe2:
You need to push it as a system app and use Fake GPS (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lexa.fakegps) to get the location working. the MyWater background keeps force closing the need to port that over.
[Kindle Fire General] fulvi3tto:
thank you, would be good to be able to port MyWater too.

Is anyone able to do it?
[Kindle Fire General] M-RodPRO1:
Actually for the wallpaper all you have to do is turn off the auto-rotate option from the wallpaper settings and apply it. If you'd like the auto rotate setting you can go back and apply it without crashing :)

Is there a kernel that supports hdmi for AOSP roms??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
AOSP ROMs (ROMs based on pure Android without 3rd party manufacturer's code) are currently lacking robust HDMI support. This is because HDMI are hardware-specific features, not Android-specific, so there is no existing kernel code in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) that is specific to HDMI support.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weztcoazt:
Ohhh ok thanks cuz its been a long time since I messed around with AOSP roms n couldn't remember if it supported hdmi.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Try clearing ALL remembered WiFi networks and reboot.

This should fix the problem - a common problem on Gingerbread ROMs as it would seem.
[HTC Sensation] shakapaka:
Hello,

I cannot get s-off with my z710t from China Mobile, I have

*** UNLOCKED ***

PYRAMID_TD PVT SHIP S-ON RH

HBOOT-0.82.0000

MICROP-0459

PRCMU-2.4.69

SOC-2.0

eMMC-boot

I put:

PG58IMG_z710t_byMAI.zip for the recovery (CWM 5.0.2.0)

z710t_root_by_MAI.zip for the root

I got the root, but I still have the s-on, so I cannot do any backup of the rom or install the Gapps.

Revolutionary does not work because it does not support the radio 0.82.0000 (required for the China Mobile 3G).

Does anybody face the same issue?

Thanks!

D.
[HTC Sensation] shakapaka:
Any idea? Any way to get s-off?
[HTC Sensation] EbenGaisie:
Same Problem

Have you been able to root your HTC z710t?

Help me please, if you have.
[HTC Sensation] Gatosbil:
If you want to root your phone you can probably root it by unlocking your bootloader using HTC_DEVs way.

After that you can flash a custom recovery that let you flash a superuser app inside your stock rom.

You can also use an exploit to temproot to s-off your device or at least to root it (permroot).

This is probably the only solution to s-off your device.

---------- Post added at 05:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 AM ----------

If you can get into your bootloader and use fastboot mode give the command

fastboot getvar all

And copy-paste the results here.

For you experienced rooting users, if you had a new S2, what would you do?

What steps should I take to make sure I run into no problems after rooting?

I want tether ability but have read that AT&T can monitor this? How can I avoid any potential problems?

1) Root

2) Install ROM

3) ?

4) ?

At least that is what I did because I did not want to clutter the forums by asking to be spoon fed.

Mr. "Engineer" - did you wake up on the wrong side of bed?

I'm not asking to be spoonfed. I've spent hours reading this forum and androidforums before buying the S2 and have read people running into different kinds of problems and am just making sure I get the details correctly rather than regret it later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
1) Root

2) Install ROM and and keep on going until you like one best..may be the first custom ROM

3) try different modems (CWM flashable) and stop with one that gives good network in your area like KH7/KK6, there are known wifi drain issues with KK6

4) Try different Kernels and stop with that gives good battery life and performance

5) Keep reading forums
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Just a quick clarification here, the wifi drain issues are a function of the KK6 firmware base, not the modem specifically - you can use the KK6 modem on a non-KK6 based ROM and not run into the issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyamoV2:
I believe its software based and not modems

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Sounds like a request for spoonfeeding to me. Nobody can tell you what to do to YOUR phone. Read up on the processes and the ROMs and decide for yourself what you want to do. I'd start with the FAQ sticky and go from there.

You came from a rooted HTC Incredible but never made ANY posts? Because you only have 3 posts and all 3 are in this thread.

Hi.

I would like to flash a Custom ROM, this will be my first ROM Flash so I've got some noob questions.

My Inc2 is currently ROOTED (by Revolutionary), S-OFF, with SU on Android 2.3.3 , all else is completely stock.

I want to flash the andyBONESTOCK 5.10.605.9 ROM. (I've already go this file and the associated SU file). This ROM is based on the latest from Verizon/HTC and is all Stock except is rooted/s-off.

Will this ROM Flash also update my Radio Baseband to the latest 1.09.01.1111 ?This Base Band is in the latest Verizon/HTC update

I believe it will not. And that I will have to seperately flash the radio.

To update the radio I believe all I have to do is rename the Radio file to PGIMG32.IMG, put it in SD Card root directory, reboot phone in HBOOT, and install the file.

Is this correct?

Thanks,
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] CondemnedSoul:
Yes. That is correct. I would also suggest doing a nandroid backup before flashing the ROM just in case you run into problems and need to get back to where you are now. The only thing that won't backup is your radio.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rehabray:
and if for some reason you should not like the newer radio, you can just download the one you are currently on and rename it and Flash it the same way you did the update. just remember to remove the previous update from the root of yours sd card.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Marlin79:
Hi

I'm a new owner to a Galaxy tab 8.9 and trying to make it able to mount NFS exports.

So I've rooted the device, installed SuperUser and terminal emulator. Then I downloaded the kernel source tree from Samsung, I compiled the NFS module on my desktop computer moved it to /system/lib/modules on the tab. But it doesn't work, when I do 'insmod nfs.ko' it gives back 'insmod: init_module nfs.ko failed (No such file or directory)'

Is it possible at all to add modules to the standard kernel that comes with the device?

Is my device completely rooted because when I try 'adb root' I get 'adbd cannot run as root in production builds'
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nasaiya:
me too...

I just encountered the exact same problem on my LG Revolution, except I'm trying to load nfsd.ko for server support.

I know I built it correctly because I've already succeeded in getting tun.ko working properly...

root # /system/bin/insmod /system/lib/modules/nfsd.ko
insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/nfsd.ko' failed (No such file or directory)
root # ls /system/lib/modules
... nfsd.ko

Very odd...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] gtj0:
When you do the insmod are you actually in the /system/lib/modules directory? If not, you have to use the full path to the module.

The message with "adb root" is normal even on a rooted device. If you can do "adb shell" followed by "su" you should be ok.

edit...

Now that I think of it...that message usually means the module file was found but a dependency wasn't.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nasaiya:
Yep that was my problem. My nfsd.ko needed dependencies that didn't exist...

To the OP: try to insmod the nfs.ko module again and then look at the output of dmesg. You should see messages complaining about the dependencies required by the nfs module.

Then you ought to be able to either remove the requirement for them from your module (my nfsd.ko wanted posix_acl support so I just got rid of that option and rebuilt the module) or if it's something you need/want you might be able to add support for whatever it is as another module...

Good luck and I hope I didn't intrude upon your thread too much ;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Marlin79:
Thanks, I had indeed a dependency problem. Now I managed to load nfs.ko and sunrpc.ko and lockd.ko that were needed because of dependency.

Although I'm still having problems at mounting an nfs export. Previously, before kernel module problem was solved, I got the error message 'No such device' when I tried to mount, now I get 'Invalid argument' instead.

I've tried commands like

busybox mount -t nfs 192.168.1.100:/mnt/raid/media /sdcard/nfs

and

busybox mount -o nolock,ro,hard,intr,vers=3 -t nfs 192.168.1.100:/mnt/raid/media /sdcard/nfs

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] bverka86:
NFS Share - Invalid Argument

Seems like an Old thread, and I would assume you've gotten this fixed already, but in case it ISN'T fixed...

>Double check your NFS config (/etc/exports file) and confirm that you are sharing:

* /exports/mnt/raid/media *

If you specified something else in your /etc/exports file, check to make sure your Hard drive (I assume /mnt/raid/media) is soft-linked to the share name you wanted to give it, or that at least the subfolders/files you want shared are softlinked to the /exports/share directory.

**e.g.**

# ln -s /exports/media/ /mnt/raid/media

-OR-

# ln -s /exports/media/shared_media_1.mp4 /mnt/raid/media/actual_file.mp4
