Ditto with my XDA2i running TomTom5 with a Qstarz BT-Q880. Slightly annoying.

However, if I press one of the hard buttons (such as the Contact List button), when the new window is brought up TomTom is minimised. Then, I can Switch (from hfrmobile.com) to Close All - and while this disconnects the GPS device, I've doublechecked and it doesn't disconnect my bluetooth headset, nor does it turn off the Bluetooth itself.

So, that in itself is a quick-and-dirty workaround hack, but I've not come up with any other solution thus far. Currently scouring the registry and the configuration files (what few there are) for a fix - it may be that someone with infinitely more coding ability needs to hack the TomTom .exe to disable this switchoff, though that's no mean feat.
[General Topics] Gajet:
You will probably find that if you reconfigure your GPS reciever in the Tomtom preferances as an "other wired receiver" select an appropriate baud rate, then select a Bluetooth com port, it will still work with a bluetooth GPS receiver but will completely leave your Bluetooth alone.

This does also mean it wont start it automatically if it's not allready on.
[General Topics] christopherwoods:
That doesn't work - the only way my Qstarz will work is if I configure it as Other Wired NMEA GPS and then run it on Bluetooth COM6, setting the baud rate appropriately (the Qstarz will accept any rate from 4800 to 115500 anyway, so that's rather irrelevant). Even if it's set as other wired GPS, the bluetooth is still disabled upon TT exiting.

This is also the info advised by the TomTom website if you're having problems getting your GPS to run with the software, so I'm guessing it's the only way. I'll have another look round the TT web site when I'm not so pushed for time.
[General Topics] Gajet:
What Tomtom version are you guys using? After a little play with mine I can say that with GPS setup as a bluetooth device. If bluetooth is on when I start Tomtom it stays on after I exit.

I use version 5.2 for Pocket PC
[General Topics] christopherwoods:
Well, small update - after having TomTom pop up the Bluetooth Manager box every time it starts up, and asking me which device I'd like to use as default, I managed to select the Qstarz Serial Port Connection shortcut which I created (had to manually create the link after setting up the device pairing) - I checked the option to Use this connetion by default, and now TomTom leaves the Bluetooth turned on after it exits!

Smashing stuff, means I can now use my headset and TomTom simultaneously in the car. :)

This is with TomTom 5.000 (4890) with GPS driver v1.20 and using the Great Britain Plus Map (v571). Bosh! :D
[General Topics] DoubleW:
I get something different on my QTEK S100. When the QTek starts receiving the GPS signal (via bluetooth), TomTom freezes the screen for about 2 seconds and then closes TomTom.

Any ideas about this problem?

Is it because I had "MagicButton" installed? I uninstalled it, did soft reset... but the problem is still there. I can I know if it is MAgicButton doing that?

Thanks

Hello!

I had a problem with my S4 Active i9295.

When I rooted the Stock ROM and installed CWM, I flashed the superb [AOSP][Port]★I9295★ Official 4.2.2 - S4 Google Edition - Feel the Experience of Nexus

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2406177

And I had no Wifi... then I found that the solution could be Flashing this ROM using ODIN and then Rooting and Installing CWM again and then Flashing the Custom ROM again.

>>> I9295XXUAMF5_I9295DBTAMF1_DBT

That is just what Darkman sayd: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45014751&postcount=42

Why am I creating this Thread?

It may not be so easy to find the above stock ROM, I could only Download from Hotfile and a very slow speed, so I took the freedom to upload it to Mediafire for other users having the same problem, that can be very stressful.

And I think this Thread may help new users that are a little bit lazy like I am some times... Or am.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlassForest:
I got my G2 used and didn't even realize until a few days in that I was already using CleanROM and had root. Been using it like that all along and only just tonight did I stumble across some old threads about how initially there was a root method that involved some weird Chinese exe file that people eventually feared might have installed spyware and decided not to use anymore. I just assumed all along that the previous owner had used the Loki method as that was the only one I had ever heard about. I realize I could just follow a guide to fully reset my phone, but I would hate to go through all of that for nothing if my phone is safe. Plus I seem to be one of the people who can't seem to get debug mode/adb to initialize on a Verizon G2 when plugged in so I'm not even sure how I would go about using the LG flasher a tot file to fully reset my device.

So far all I tried was installing Titanium backup and making sure I didn't see any frozen Chinese language root explorer app that apparently gets installed on your phone when using that old root method and has to be frozen afterwards.

Is there any thing I can specifically look for on my phone that would hint at which root method was used?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Melodycd:
There is no way to see what method you are using, but as far as i know, you have loki method of rooting. Cause you have another ROM, and only loki patches boot, so you can have TWRP and all that stuff. Why do you want to reset the phones root? If it is working, don't use LG tools, cause i saw some people (but only on D802) who complained that they got stucked in bootloop after using LG tools.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Atomicglue:
I recently rooted my LG Optimus G (LS970)

You probably know the difficulties with this phone when it comes to rooting.

I used ZV9-ZVB Universal Root to root my phone. It went off without a hitch but as you may know, you need FreeGee app to install a recovery ROM. (I chose TWRP)

After downloading my chosen ROM to flash, (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2515345) I downloaded Titanium Backup.

Oddly, it said I did not have root. Shortly afterwards, I realized I don't have Super User app installed. I forgot to flash it when I was flashing Gapps and the main ROM.

So, my question is how can I fix this? FreeGee won't upload due to not having root.

Would I have to start from "re-rooting" my phone through ZV9-ZVB Universal Root and proceed from there?

It's a fully working phone...it's just I may not be able to do anything else with it for the rest of it's existence...

Your thoughts?

Thanks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Actually, unlocking, and especially rooting is quite easy. You just choose a complicated Rom to install.

Try flashing any other ROM except the 2 KK's until you're use to this phone.

You'll need to do some reading, but in a nutshell...you need to reinstall root, install a special TWRP recovery, use a certain GAPP's, and possibly install a different APN.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Atomicglue:
Thank you for the input. I'll try this tomorrow. Getting late where I'm at and I need to make sure I have a working phone for work.

Wish me luck...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Good Luck. :)

I forgot to answer the rest of your questions. But I think you figured it out. If you still have TWRP recovery, then just flash a different ROM. If not, FreeGee may work for you again. And if not that, then LGNPST, teeny bins or the full bin files. Info in teeny bin thread in Additional info, Or the irc
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Atomicglue:
Well, I feel stupid...I went into recovery mode (almost by accident, it seems) and installed Super User zip file I downloaded earlier.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
GPRS is new territory for me. I'm planning to apply for a GPRS acct with my telco

I'm afraid that once I've configured the settings for internet via GPRS from my telco, it will always use GPRS whenever I want to connect to the internet.

How do I switch back to normal mode when I'm at home and accessing the internet thru ActiveSync?

On my EXTENDED_ROM, there is a file called vodafone.CAB which will configure my phone with Vodafone settings (I'm with Vodafone). Whenever I run that file (after a hard reset), I cannot access the internet via ActiveSync. Everytime I run PIE, it always defaults to GPRS.

I don't know how to switch to use internet via activesync once I'm on the GPRS plan and then switch back to GPRS when I'm not at home.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] borgs:
If you are concerned about it using GPRS once you are connected to ActiveSync you could always switch to flight mode. Not ideal, I admit, if you use your phone alot and don't like it being turned off.

I had two profiles on mine, one GPRS and one dial up. Even when I set the default to the dial up (CSD) it still tried to use GPRS. Fault with my pocket PC only? maybe. What was strange was that even after I deleted the GPRS profile and soft reset it still was using GPRS! I had to hard reset in the end.

So, I would backup your pocket PC before installing the GPRS profiles.

If you have a large bandwidth then it probably won't matter to you but if not I would definately install a bandwidth monitor as you may also find that some apps you install may also try to periodically get internet access.

The problem with Windows Mobile 2003 is that you can't seem to tell it to ask you first. Microsoft seem to think that you either want GPRS on permanently or don't use it at all. I am sure there are a lot of people out there who just want to use it from time to time. If an app wants internet it just goes and gets it!

Having said that, even with CSD, it will still dial out when it wants. To get around that problem I created 2 profiles, one of which doesn't have a userid and password. I set the default profile to the one without userid. That way if something tries to get internet access it first asks the user to enter their userid and password - in effect it safeguards against a rogue dial out.

I personally don't use GPRS as I found out that my CSD access will use my free minutes. Since I hardly use my phone for voice calls I may as well make use of the free minutes for internet access.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
Ok did some searching around ppcsg, apparently you can turn off GRPS by pressing the RED button (the disconnect talk button) and holding it for a few seconds.

Or use this tool

http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1123

Question is whether once the GPRS is turned off, will internet access be automatically be directed to the ActiveSync connection (assuming I'm connected via ActiveSync)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
To use internet via AS you should configure 'my work network' correctly under the 'connections' settings. The 'my isp' connection is meant for dial-up & gprs access to the internet.

Sadly can't tell how to do it in detail as my magician is my wireless modem & at work the connection isn't allowed. Maybe the help files are of any use in this.

Cheers, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dood:
yes, mine, just automatically uses my internet connection thro' my PC with AS, but as soon as I disconnect from my PC, my Qtek switches over to GPRS.. which is pretty cool.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] stevedebi:

Hi, this is something I generally like to ask with new phones. Does your Nexus 5 have any death grip issues? I personally tried gripping it every way I could and there was no signal loss whatsoever:)

[Nexus 5 General] Ascertion:
According to some of my buds over at S4GRU, the Nexus 5 is a champ in terms of Radio Frequency performance on Sprint, so I'd assume it's a monster on all of the other carriers.

EDIT: I believe that the Nexus 5's RF success comes from it's envelop tracking, which enables it to use more power to grab signals at a lower power consumption.
[Nexus 5 General] Cuppeerr:
My thoughts exactly! I was even trying to make it lose signal but it wouldn't!:)

[Nexus 5 General] TheTearMaker:
wasnt aware of all this. hmm. maybe ill buy some hulk hands and grip it til it snaps in two then check my signal. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] lwfb:
Your HTC One has an aluminum build, the iPhone you referenced has a metal band around the sides. This doesn't play nice with RF so special antennas and designs are used to make it work. They usually place them around the outside rather than the traditional place inside the enclosure (this is what those little black lines along the outside of the iPhone 4-4S are), but you run into issues like the "death grip" for example. It's still cool technology though.

The Nexus 5 is all plastic, so there is no metal build to interfere with signal like on the aforementioned handsets.

No issues.
