Yes Seattle is multicultural but Korean wouldn't be the first that comes to mind. Seems like a glitch, presumably server side.

mine doesn't do it. And there's definitely a bigger Japanese and Chinese community than Korean in Seattle. But either way, that doesn't mean it should show both lol.

Why won't chmod let me change the permissions here? There's no error after using the chmod command, but the permissions are unchanged.

I want 755, but the file stays 777 even after the chmod.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etirkca:
Are you implying that chmod can't be used on symlinks? Then how should I edit permissions? The toolbox symlinks in /system/bin/ are 755, so I think it can be done.

No one knows if this is possible?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
It has to be an octal Chmod because it is busybox based. Something like 0755. Google the values for octal chmod.

Edit: VI is a simlink of busybox. VI is part of /system/xbin/busybody

--------------------------------------
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etirkca:
I think it's fine to leave off the leading 0, chmod works fine on other files without it. busybox is already 755.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Then you should be fine if busybox is 0755

Firstly, the root method I followed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098899

I've loaded the CM, FBL, FCS and GS roms and each ends about the same way...first boot always goes right to the android and the login and what-not.

[Android Apps and Games] backitude:
Troubleshooting Topics

Location Updating using Backitude: the application utilizes oAuth2 authentication which is very easy and very convenient for the user. The user is able to grant permission for Backitude to integrate with their Google Latitude account at a click of a button without even having to enter their credentials.

The issue is, some users on some devices have experienced trouble obtaining this permission. It is important that users do one of the following before using Backitude, however, for some users it is required that they do both:

1) Use the Maps application to "activate Latitude for this device" by signing into Latitude. (Additionally, it is suggested that the user change their Latitude location reporting to "set your location". By manually updating your location and selecting an arbitrary position, you will prevent Latitude from wasting unnecessary battery life on updating your location, but still allow your friends to see your location. Backitude can do all your updates for you instead.)

2) From a PC or computer, visit Google Latitude and sign in from your browser. (And not from a tablet or smartphone browser) I do not know why this is required, but for some, to fully opt into the Google Latitude agreement and conditions, this is required.

After doing so, 99% of users are able to update using Backitude. An extreme minority, still have to perform some additional steps. This would include resetting your Google 3rd party authorizing sites, by revoking access from all, and then trying the process over from start. Signing into Maps. Activating Latitude. Installing Backitude..etc Any issues, I am always available via forum or email. Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] EP2008:
I just started using this app a few days ago after realizing how often Google Maps is polling for location information just to update latitude... Hundreds of times a day, even when I'm not moving!

So far, I'm liking what this app has to offer :)
[Android Apps and Games] backitude:
Troubleshooting Topics: Location Updating using Backitude

If all else fails to get you updating, the following detailed description may help get you going as a last resort. Again, I'm not sure why oAuth2 can be so difficult for a small handful, and so convenient for so many others.

Start fresh by trying the following steps to reset your Google Latitude permissions

* From your android device, launch the Maps > Latitude application and Sign out. On the latest version, this is accomplished by going to Latitude > Menu > Location settings > Location reporting > Latitude location sharing > Sign out of Latitude

* Next, go into Android > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Maps and click the "Clear data" button.

* Similarly, uninstall the Backitude application by completing the following: Android > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Backitude and click the "Uninstall" button.

Now, follow these steps from a PC browser to remove access (so that we can then add them back)

* Visit google.com

* Sign into Google using the account you are trying to configure for Backitude

* Go to Google Account settings, or click "Account". (I will post a link directly there when I have the ability too)

* Scrolling down, you see the option to "Visit the previous version of the Account settings screen" which takes you to My Account.

* Under Security, select the link for "Authorizing applications & sites" (accounts.google.com/b/0/IssuedAuthSubTokens)

* Revoke access to any applicable "Android Login Service" entry including those such as "Full Account Access" and "Google Latitude"

Everything is now successfully reset, so perform the following steps in order.

* Sign into Latitude from a PC browser. (It is very important to sign in from a PC browser and not your android device at first). This is required by some devices for authentication purposes, to "opt" your Google account user into Latitude.

* Enable Google Latitude on your device using the Latitude app. If multiple accounts exist on your device, you may have to select the appropriate account by going to Maps > Menu > Settings > Switch Account. Then, or otherwise, sign-in to Latitude from your android device.

* Finally, you can try to re-install Backitude and successfully update your location to Google Latitude.

And that always seems to get the last 0.01% of users updating successfully who couldn't before. Annoying, yes!

Other similar 3rd party Latitude apps appear to be using a variant of oAuth1 authentication, which requires entering your password. I have contemplated implementing the same, to avoid this issue but perhaps future versions of Maps and Android will better activate permissions on those devices.
[Android Apps and Games] backitude:
Thanks. I'm currently working on fixing a couple known issues, and hoping to get a new release out this week. Nothing earth shattering though. I noticed you were running ICS... have you noticed any issues? I have not tested ICS compatibility yet, so I was always curious. Using a Bionic myself, I'm still hoping to get an update later this year and try it out myself. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] EP2008:
No issues that I've seen.

I did have a bit of frustration when testing it as I had it set not to update unless my location changed more than 100m, so when I fired a manual update, I assumed that would force an update regardless of the location setting. It wasn't until after I turned that setting off did the manual update refresh with a new location timestamp.

Not a huge issue, but for some time I didn't think that the app was working because the timestamp on the history log never changed after manual updates.
[Android Apps and Games] backitude:
I never thought of that. That is probably a fair assumption. I may have to consider re-working that logic, so that like you said- if "Fire Update" is launched, you do not consider skipping the update because of minimum distance rules. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] EP2008:
The reason I made the assumption was because I use an app called FolderSync, which helps manage cloud file storage services. With it, you can setup rules to sync your files, like what time a backup should be made, if you are plugged into a charger and if you are on wifi, etc. The app has an option for the user to initiate a manual sync, which basically ignores all scheduling rules over the users desire to sync right now. That's why I thought it might be the same for Backitude.
[Android Apps and Games] backitude:
I like the idea. I am going to change that for the next release. The settings for Backitude are pretty intimidating, even for novice Latitude users. I want to make it as user-friendly and straight forward as possible. Thanks for the help!
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Still no way to see other people on Latitude? I'm sure it must be an API you don't have access to or something of that nature, but I still don't get the point of this app if it's "write-only". You can't see anyone, only they can see you.
[Android Apps and Games] backitude:
You're correct in that the API is very limited. It only allows you access to your own location and location history, so there is no way to retreive your friends' locations, or even your list of friends. The purpose of Backitude is not to replace Google Latitude, but simply help correct its short-comings. Using backitude, and having your friends use backitude, ensures accurate locations, battery efficiency, and a means to update your friends' locations when you need their location. Once configured, Backitude runs in the background and can remain fairly transparent to your day to day Latitude use.
[Android Apps and Games] 93ae8074:
I'm using your app too in ICS 4.0.4 if you need some feedback. It's working quite well, even better than the other one! Keep the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] backitude:
(Currently testing 2.7) Here is the change log, let me know if there's any more bugs I need to iron out last minute. Thanks!

Backitude: Update release 2.7 Changelog

1. Reported Issue: Backitude just stops running after a couple hours of use. (Unconfirmed but occasionally reported bug) I haven't been able to duplicate, however this could be the result of Android's memory management as an operating system, or the result of a Task Manager, task killer type of process. Users who experience such an issue should add Backitude to the ignore list on their task managers. However, I have made some changes in the code that may help.

2. Enhancement: For IOException, SocketTimeoutException, Read timed out, Unresolved host name. Backitude now has a re-attempt feature that will retry update after 60 seconds from a failed update due to these network congestion exceptions. (As directed to do by Google)

3. Enhancement: Implemented notification for users who cannot update due to permissions problem. (403/503 exception) Instructing user to first login to Google Latitude from a PC browser to "opt user into Google Latitude" and/or reset their Latitude location manually again. Google sometimes implements new terms and conditions and it may be required to re-opt into their agreement.

4. Enhancement: Updated Java Client libraries and Google Latitude libraries. I am hoping this shows improvements with efficiency, speed, memory, and issues.

5. Issue: (GUI) Steals option is not disabling if the Time Interval is under 5minutes. Likewise, it should then enable if the Time Interval is switch to greater than 1minute, similar to the behavior of the Re-Sync Rate option.

6. Reported Issue:*Wifi turns off after an update when Wifi Wake lock is enabled. Backitude now checks to see if Wi-Fi is connected (and therefore not sleeping) before acquiring a Wi-Fi wake lock.

7.* Change: "Fire Update" does not update location if minimum required distance is configured and new location is not outside of the bounds of previous location. Fire Update, since it is a manual update, has been changed to not consider the minimum distance configuration and bypass this validation.

8. Issue: Steals and manual updates (Fire Update) are not resetting the Time Interval clock after a successful update. This issue has been resolved.

9. Issue: Minimum distance calculation not taking into consideration changes in accuracy. If accuracy changes greatly from one location poll to the next, the location centers could be drastically far apart although the device has not moved. Offsetting the accuracy changes will result in better results for calculating change in distance.

10. Change: Push Update notification labels have been updated.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
Well thats a nice application. Just starting to use it.

I have a suggestion. As my phone goes at night in a kind of sleeping mode - Wifi off, 3G off, Wifi Off, etc. - i would like to have a function to disable Backitude for certain hours or much better a Tasker Plugin.

What do you think ?
[Android Apps and Games] backitude:
Thanks, glad you like it so far!!! It's funny you mention that because I have two main goals for the summer. Tasker integration and off-line storage/sync. I looked into Tasker once before over the winter and it turned out to be a lot more work then expected so I put it off, as this is just sort of a hobby in my free time. But with baseball season upon us, I do a lot of coding with the games on. Go Sox!

In the mean time, there is a setting for wake locks in Advanced Settings for Backitude. You can turn disable the wake locks and Backitude will not run once your phone goes into sleep mode. This means that the gps will not run while sleeping..etc Hope this helps
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
Nice to read hat you planning a Tasker integration/plug-in.

Yes for the time being i have disabled both wake locks. Disadvantage is that my phone sleeps a lot :). I have my display timeout set to 1 minute, so sometimes my phone is sleeping for an hour while walking around in Buenos Aires or Argentina. Anyway for now this is the only solution. Looking forward to your next developments.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] backitude:
Actually, it shouldn't be that bad. Backitude will only cease functioning without wake locks once the device goes into a "deep sleep mode." I am not sure about the specifics of when this occurs, but it's separate then just display timeout. Can even take up to an hour or more from what I read, so as long as you're using it every hour or so, it should continue functioning. Please post your findings though, I am intrigued now.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
I will observe the pushing frequency to Latitude and keep you informed.
[Android Apps and Games] pr_lad:
I've been using Backitude for a few months now.

However, even with WiFi Wake Lock enabled, it seems the accuracy of my updates does not improve. However, when I open google maps with WiFi already on, the accuracy is few meters (I work and live in a dense WiFi area).

Do you think that Backitude for some reason is not turning on the WiFi, or is WiFi based localisation not being picked up by latitude?

Thanks for a great app!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Roadcabe:
Hi Guys,

Title says it all. When the Amaze is asleep and I tap either camera button, the phone will wake up to the lock screen, which is really annoying because the case I have makes it very easy to accidentally tap the camera/video camera buttons. Is there anyway to disable this functionality so the phone will only wake up when the power button is pressed?

I still want to maintain the long-perss to camera functinoality of the buttons, of course.

Thanks everyone!
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbcal:
There is no way to change it if you are not rooted. If you have rooted your phone or have any custom rom use Root Explorer to do the following:

Go to system/usr/keylayout folder

Mount it as R/W

Open ruby-keypad.kl file in text editor.

Change the following 2 lines and delete the WAKE.

key 248 CAMCORDER	WAKE

key 212 CAMERA WAKE

Save the file and reboot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Roadcabe:
Awesome, thanks for the info. Cheers
[HTC Amaze 4G] levchikb:
Hi i have a similar, but different question - how do I make it so that long-pressing camera button, will launch Camera App, even if phone is locked with pattern / password??

I bought Amaze because of camera, and I often need to take a picture quick and unlocking the phone each time is a pain in the @SS ... especially if I need to take a pick once every minute

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Take off the lock, if they made it capable of doing that then basically anyone could steal your phone and get off with your info since there is no lock what so ever.
[HTC Amaze 4G] levchikb:
@ Dark Nightmare

You are wrong about disabling lock and everyone being able to steal ur info. And no - I will not disable lock - I have too much precious info on my phone.

1) this works perfectly on Energy Rom (only Energy Rom is buggy).

2) I did as instructed here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28194573&postcount=8

And it works - Camera key launches Camera APP ... and if I try to get into the phone - it shows lock screen / pattern - does not unlock the phone!

if it is in warranty , you could try sending it in for repair under warranty by saying USB port came out when you unplugged it from charger .....
[HTC Sensation] SinisterModz:
Dude just call HTC and don't say anything about buying it used, just act as if you are the original owner. You should be able to get free repair or replacement phone.

call htc and LIE :) say that it happened with original usb cable.

hopefully they will fix it
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Yeah if the device is still under warranty the warranty is totally transferable if the device is sold. Just contact HTC and they will probably ask you for the IMEI number and that will tell them if the device is still under warranty or not.

First off the phone is a month old and the USB port came out with the cable so I bought a battery charger but I wanted to modd my phone. It came from the united kingdom and I'm having a hard time getting through but I wont give up.. Thanks everyone for your input your all so awesome ...

[HTC Sensation] iscarechyu:
I agree with everyone else above! Call them and lie, they wouldn't know if your the original owner. If they ask for your receipt, just tell them you misplaced it cuz it was such a long time ago...
[HTC Sensation] Leemur89:
Whatever cable it is, it shouldn't be getting stuck in your htc sensation. Just call HTC and make a complaint and hope for the best.. If not visit the nearest HTC service center, or maybe the place where you bought the phone from?
[HTC Sensation] toreone:
I'm curious...could you tell us what cable you bought...and also...if possible the link to said cable...just so no one else would make the same mistake.
[HTC Sensation] Warrior4Christ:
Bought the cable from Amazon it also came with a windshield phone holder the cable was the cigarette style USB charger
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Is it micro USB or just regular USB?
[HTC Sensation] saadarzoo:
wierd

That's quite weird .. u can try to remove the broken charger pin with a forceps if its stuck in the charging port ..

But if u damaged the charging port then u can call for a replacement

:)
[HTC Sensation] jambotech:
HTC will (NOT) fix or replace your phone. That type of fault is not covered under the warrenty it will be seen as it was fine when they sold it and the damage happened when you plugged in and unplugged the cable.

I work in a phone shop and get this problem in all the time , they used to replace the ports on Sonys but not any more.

The phone would be classified as B.E.R (beyond economical repair )

SORRY TO CARRY THE BAD NEWS.

you need a new phone as the charge port is attached to the motherboard. (Or someone who will replace it, most engineers won't, too costly)
[HTC Sensation] Warrior4Christ:
It's. A micro USB thank you ...
