[General Questions and Answers] esmith1359:
Hi XDA guys! :)

A couple days ago I bought the maylong FD-220 "gps for dummies" gps at CVS pharmacy. The unit was deeply discounted ad I got it for $19.99 I knew it was a junk piece of hardware but I tried to go to the MFR website anyways to look for any map updates. No luck- the maps in the unit are from 2009 and they are NOT updating it- EVER. I guess the whole project completely tanked for them.

Anyways, I wanted new maps, and to eliminate using the ugly "for dummies" interface, so I figured I'd use MioPocket to hack my way in to a proper home screen, and install some windows CE 5.0 compatible gps software with newer maps etc.

I used MioPocket Mini 4.0 R2 and created a bootable sd card using the YFgo2CE.bld file trick to boot and complete the install. I was careful to use the Mini version because I ONLY wanted to do this to get more current maps and I don't care about using the device to do any other tricks whatsoever. Plus, I wanted to use whichever method was least likely to brick the device. I was successful and now I have a bootable sd card that loads MioPocket and the unit boots stock without sd card inserted.

Anyway, my question is this:

I know the unit was a el-cheapo Chinese piece of garbage, that's why it's discontinued now. I don't expect much but maps from 2009 with no updates is unacceptable. Does anyone know of any freeware, or even pay gps navigation programs that will run on windows ce 5.0 from an sd card? I just want newer maps- even if I use another discontinued program that at least had its last release in late 2010 or better etc.

I have done some web searching and have not been able to find a single tutorial or hack video etc which is written specifically for this model number. Just a few comments here and there.

Thanks to anyone who can help :)

Friend recommended this to me, '303 Aerospace Protectant' works like a charm at keeping fingerprints off the screen & if you do get any it's really easy to wipe them off. I had tried RainX & it worked, but not really well. Also as a side note you can use this stuff on just about anything ! My car looks like new again inside & out. Even tires. At any rate give it a try. I'm done with screen protectors.

Thanks for posting this. I've never heard of any stuff like this. I will definitely be trying it soon. I've never liked armor all and this seems like what I really want.
[Acer Iconia A500] evelbug:
I have some of this in my trailer. I'll have to give it a try. Do you spray it onto a towel and wipe it on the screen?
[Acer Iconia A500] pov1:
I just use a paper towel to put on & a micro-fiber cloth to wipe off/polish. My tablet is still holding up fine where as my phone with the RainX isn't, so put the 303 on it tonight. I'm sure your going to be happy with it, let me know & no I'm not in any way shape or form involved with the company I just love the stuff.
[Acer Iconia A500] carpenterethan:
So lets say someone takes a key and slides it across your screen? Does it protect it then? (No flame intended... I'm trying to wiegh the pros and cons of this stuff compared to the ****e screen protector I got off amazon free with a case.) The screen protector I have now picks up scratches like a scratching post for an animal... but the screen underneath is most likely pristine.
[Acer Iconia A500] pov1:
Jeez ! Do you know the difference between Protectant and Protector ?
[Acer Iconia A500] ribbe82:
Hmm made me curious, saw it on ebay also.

[Acer Iconia A500] starfcker69:
If someone did that to my A500, I'd spray the person in the face with 303 Aerospace Protectant. But seriously, no screen protectors for me. I may try this stuff.
[Acer Iconia A500] pov1:
No, I just put it on carefully Also found two things if you put it on wipe off & let set overnight it seems to work better. I still haven't done a second coat yet but have read that works better I don't know. All I know as I said mine is still holding up. Just use a micro fiber cloth to touch it up occasionally.
[Nexus One General] NZLion:
Hi all,

I've noticed that there seem to be a lot of places in at least the TexasICS ROM where it still uses the old Android orange to indicate a selection. This seems to be impossible to change and is not related to the launcher (I switched to LauncherPro and set selection and pressed colors).

Examples include: selections in Astro, selecting a history item in Barcode Scanner, selecting any menu item in Gentle Alarm.

Is this caused by the apps themselves? And is there some tool that I can use to change this to ICS style #177BBD and #33B5E5 ?

If this is related to ICS ROMs, I realise that any N1 ICS ROM is currently early and active development, and this is the sort of thing that's more likely to be cleaned up in the approach to a stable release. But I'm hoping it's an easy fix and I just don't know the relevant tools.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonyse1:
I have got a LG-Optimus P-698 android phone. I request for following help.

1. Is there a software that will help me to attend my incoming calls without the need to slide the call attending (green) button? It sometimes requires two hands to attend an incoming call.

2. How do I access the last made call to recall this number. In other touch phones it I just press one of the buttons (usually the left corner button at the bottom), it will make a call to the last called or last missed call.

Thank you.

What are changes between this ROM and original GingerXperia, everything on this is listed also in GX, except bootanimation and maybe wallpaper, I'm not sure about this...Fix your English also, You typed "-Drain Battery", some users can think that this ROM Drains battery, type "Battery drain fix added" instead, use some translator like Google translate. These are just my tips, watch about that in future.

Edit: What is Your development exactly in this ROM, and not others?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] skudo101:
Sr for my bad English but i have permisson of Xperiafan so i posted it. But my Rom is new laucher not GX, so i thinks it smooth than, and i have deleted and add some app, it will help drain more Ram and battery. I think i will develop on his Rom and now i'm fixing other something. Thanks for your contribution :) I will fix it later :) And if he really don't agree,so I will close this topic now!!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theratdude64:
The other day my Transformer USB cable randomly melted. I kept smelling burning electronics/plastic in my room and was at first investigating a DVR that has been giving me issues, then when I sat back down burnt my leg pretty good on the USB cable :mad:

It was the end that plugs into the tablet that completely melted, but the USB plug end that goes to the wall was quite hot as well.

I plugged my brother in law's Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it indicated charging, but had a red X or something saying that it wasn't actually charging. Is that because the Tab uses different voltages or definitely that it's junk? I have a Fluke 87V volt meter, anyone know how I can test my USB wall wart to see if it will work if I just replace the cable? I'm nervous to get a new cable only and it get melted, but I can't really afford both halves.

Any recalls for this? The cable was in perfect condition.

[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
I hope I'm wrong, and early in my dismay. And there may well be an announcement in the next few days that we will be getting a major update, but I'm feeling a little shafted by HTC.

<Edit: Fine, I didn't watch specs close at all, the S isn't the Rezound, and the X has some shortfalls as well. The argument still stands, poor marketing lead to poor adoption, and the end result *may* mean we have another few months with our not-quite-perfected Sense 3.6 leak.>

The ineptitude of the marketing campaign for the Rezound was epic, we can all agree I'm sure. But as a result, I feel like we are looking at a fall release for an official Sense 4/ ICS build. It probably makes little difference since we have a team working here that will bring the One S software over for us (assuming my assumptions on hardware are correct), but damn, it still irks me given the promises from HTC over the holidays that the Rezound would be getting the updates "early 2012."

I'm a 2 phone household with 2 HTCs. I'll get flamed for this, but if I watch them release these next two phones and then a couple more before they get to us, then I'm probably done with them. I appreciated them admitting that their late 2011 lineup kinda sucked (I love the Rezound, but we all have an issue or two, I know), and I appreciate that they need to fix it. But breaking one off in their most recent customers who bought into the next major release 120-ish days after the release, really?

I'll be happy to eat crow if they hook us up this week, but I got a bad feeling about this!!

I hate to rant, but this is pretty much the only group of people who could possibly understand. ;)
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
It's a different SOC and screen resolution. It's pretty much a totally different phone.
[HTC Rezound] japhule:
You should look at the specs. The One S is not the rezound, it has a qHD 960x540 super amoled display (with pentile) while the Rezound is HD 1280x720. That's the first difference that popped out to me when reading about the One S. The One series also do not have a removable battery or microsd expansion.
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
Well, between reading articles on the X and the S, I guess I've combined them in my head that works for my argument. Still doesn't change it... I'll be an unhappy dude at the end of the week if I don't have a hard date for the upgrade!
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
It's par for the course. The real advantage of HTC building less hardware is they have less software to build, which means updates should be much easier.
[HTC Rezound] Dalamar1320:
This is an issue you will run into with any phone manufacturer, nexus devices excluded. I have owned HTC and Samsung devices, and read numerous forums and updates, or lack there of, seems to be heavily discussed for all devices.
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
I think that's part of the underlying issue for me. Not 8 weeks ago they were promising flagship quality and hype. This next release looks like classic HTC, pump out new models that address issues from the last batch, but create a whole bunch of new issues 'cause they are trying to be on the bleading edge.

All that, but I'm probably just jealous of the X. Looks pretty hot, really :o
[HTC Rezound] mike.s:
If, by "nothing different," you mean to ignore the lower resolution screen (960 x 540), non-removable battery, lack of SD card slot, and lack of both CDMA and LTE, you're right.
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
Haha, I know. Hate to be the first to lose my composure on the issue... but it's been eating at me all day. A couple beers and cruising through some articles got me to the breaking point!
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
You think HTC is taking forever for the update, imagine owning a Samsung or Motorola phone.

And to be honest. I would rather have a cm9/ pure aosp build of ICS on the rezound then a senseafied ICS.

I know not everyone feels that way, but I have always been an AOSP kinda Guy, and had the GNEX not sucked balls I'd probably still have it.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
It's how Android goes.. Thanks to the fragmentation of the market you should always expect slow updates (shy of the Nexus). I'm pretty sure we'll get 4.0 before the 3.6 w/ 4.0.3 is officially released to us. I myself am hoping for the data/calls/text in the CM 9 thread to be fixed. Android will always be slow on updates, period, end of story. It's why we root/unlock our phones in hopes of obtaining updates fatser than they are provided. Inb4 Android update speed gets compared to iOS update speed and W7.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
Just wait till we get a dump of the Inc3
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
don't feel jaded at all. None of those phones have been slated to be released on verizon and only the x has somewhat better specs. The rezound will get ICS, probably before any moto or samsung phones.

I would be upset if I had a Razr, then they release the maxx 2 months later, or if I had the Bionic and the Razr came out a couple of months later.

Seriously, if it bothers you that much, you should stick to nexus phones.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
No kidding.

There where people on one of the Razr sites that where absolutely LIVID about that one.......(can't say I blame them)
[HTC Rezound] partizan1981:
I just upgraded this weekend. I thought a physical keyboard would be great, so I picked up a Droid 4. Needless to say, I didn't own it for more than 28 hours before I returned it, and picked up a Rezound.

At the end of the day, having the ability to HTC unlock and with the cult-following this phone seems to have found, I think we're going to have a solid amount of success, with or without "official" help from HTC. I somewhat hope you have to eat crow though if I'm being honest :)
[HTC Rezound] Divine_Madcat:
Also keep in mind, i have not seen one announcement of a phone so far (at least major brand that we care about) that seems to be heading to VZ. None of the HTC phones were announced with CDMA (and the LTE radios are the wrong channel for us), and while it could change (no doubt will eventually), so far, we still have the best HTC VZ phone...
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
As far as I'm concerned HTC doesn't even need to compile ICS, just hand over the ICS hardware binary for the Rezound and all will be well. I'd compile my own ICS if they'd just do us that one favor.
[HTC Rezound] rsage:
I'm coming from a Galaxy S on Sprint, now Rezound on VZW. It's funny, there are posts in every forum for every phone where people think their phone's manufacturer is the absolute worst in getting OS updates out. Samsung people think Samsung is the worst, Motorola people think Motorola is the worst, etc. As someone else said, as long as manufacturers and carriers are both involved in the process of getting OS updates out, it's always going to suck. That's the main reason to get Nexus device, but personally I'd rather have the Rezound. Honestly I'm just happy that HTC is at least acknowledging that an update for the Rezound is coming - Samsung is notorious for not giving out any information at all.
[HTC Rezound] das0527:
I agree, no question. This debacle has turned me off to HTC's pathetic customer relations and I doubt I'll buy another HTC device.
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
True that. We, the power users, are really the only ones who take much notice to this issue. Its very easy to keep us happy... And they get free software development from the deal as well!
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
I don't think I'm quite that peeved YET. It's just lame knowing that their dev team is on new hardware while we languish. If this phone was 6-10 months old, guess I'd be OK with it (I. E. I don't really care when or if my thunderbolt gets it) . But seeing that I got this thing as a flagship device in November and we get an as-run status, it makes me question their business management.

With Google picking up moto, I expect a new standard to be set with respect to software upgrades later this year and going forward.
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
I don't know... I mean, at the end of the day they are just like any other business, and are doing all this to make money. Period. How do they make their money? Selling their products - phones. I've had two of their devices - the Incredible1 and now the Rezound. Both are out of the box excellent devices. I think if I were to demand anything, it might be maintenance releases to make sure that there are bug fixes.

Would I be real happy if we didn't get ICS? Not really. I'm just saying I get it.

Oh, and the uproar was the same for the Incredible too with the GB release. People had pretty much given up on us ever getting it, then BAM Verizon notified people about the update and then it started rolling out.
[HTC Rezound] partizan1981:
OK, so maybe I feel a *little* bit slighted now with the HTC One announcement...
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
The biggest issue is that many purchased the Rezound banking on their Q1 promise for ICS. It was a pivotal decision maker for me, in buying the Rezound rather than waiting for the Nexus to launch. Now it feels an awful lot like they were just blowing smoke.

A soft response from consumers will only encourage this type of thing from hTC in the future. I'm tired of it.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Maybe many of us did. Many of the average Joe's (not the team) and Jane's of the world bought RAZR's and iPhones because they're on TV. They didn't and don't even know the Galaxy Nexus exists and the Rezound is that hip-hop phone they saw that one commercial for.

Verizon hasn't pushed the Rezound, and now it seems we're reaping the benefits of poor sales. If the Rezound were selling well and HTC saw it as a priority we'd already have a soak of ICS rather than sitting behind the HTC One bus.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Well said. We might as well get comfortable sitting behind the hTC One bus because that's obviously their idea of a solution to the issue of updating dozens of devices across all carriers. The Rezound is old news, it seems.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Seriously?

1) It is not even the end of the Q1 yet. They still have a third of a quarter to go... Even if they miss the suggested date, it will arrive. HTC is not a little company. They have development groups working on new projects, current projects and updates... Just because something just got announced, doesn't mean they put everything else on hold. It takes a lot of time to get something new to market.

2) My co-worker has the Nexus... I'll keep my Rezound. No real comparison.

3) I don't base purchases on what is coming. Only on what is now. I waited until there was solid Root (unlocked bootloader), that there were not a ton of problems, and the price dropped ($99). I was tired of getting the phone brand new and then waiting for those things and paying top dollar for the effort (like my Dinc was).

The HTC Rezound is currently the best phone on the market IMHO... ICS would be nice, but it doesn't stop the phone from being very good now. If you don't think so, you bought the wrong phone.

Like every phone I've ever had, there is always some update, new version, fix etc.. that is coming and for the most part, they have always actually arrived.

If they release before its ready, then everyone *****es about how they should have done more testing etc... lose lose situation.

We have an unlocked bootloader

We have root

We can do modified ROMS

Seriously, there is enough other important things in life than worrying about a phone update.

Most consumers, don't know about root, don't know ICS is coming, don't visit forums and are quite happy with their stock brand new phone. Many never customize their devices, and some actually never even download apps. We have a number of these types of users at work. Hard to imagine...
