Please keep us posted, cuz I also bricked my H950. I manage to get SU but for some reason I could not install Titanium, so I proceed to root it again via traditional way. Not the phone just stuck at&t logo. Any help is appreciated!! Why can't we get TOT for this phone??
[LG G Flex 2] soosoolhastam:
this might help you. it shows how to do a factory reset without the rom loading.

I'm looking for something similar to the note 3's keyboard. number buttons on top and there's a "@" and ".com" buttons on the bottom.

I'm pretty sure I tried every single free keyboard on the playstore...

if someone could direct me to a zip or apk of note 3 keyboard that would work on my lg g3 I would love you eternally.

my phone is rooted btw.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomogitarist:
LG's stock keyboard has "@" and ".com" buttons.

It also has numbers at the top.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joooe:
When I'm writing an email in the gmail app, the @ and the .com appear automatically in the email field. When I change to subject field, the keyboard returns to normal. This is the normal procedure. I'm using Swype.

Well you sold me! I have 3.0.1 but I think i'm going to have to pop for the new version just for the main issues (no crashing, delay with data conn., etc)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] aadadams:
I was already sold, because iguidance has always been a stellar product. I have 2.1.3 and 3.0.1, so 4.0 was already in my future. I must admit it really does help to hear first hand comments.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] IronManDS:
I've used iGuidance v3 with Schaps' 3.30c for some time and have never had the issues which you describe. (lock ups, slow screens, etc.)

Great program and I'll be eyeballing and upgrade to v4.

Thanks for the great review. For me, the 1.3gb map file is a show stopper. I have alot of mp3 and videos on my storage card and giving up 1.3 gigs when I only need a few hundred megs - forget about it! I will stick with my 3.01 and just not touch the map screen (which causes it to crash in WM6).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] netnerd:
i just ordered a 2GB Sandisk Ultra II microSD on internet, my current 1GB microSD wont fits the map data.

so i installed IG4.0 on Dell Axim x50v with WM5.0, it takes much longer to load the map or calculate the routes compare to IG3.1,

maybe because it has to search the whole 1.3GB of map data to find what it needs..

or maybe i have a slow (regular) SD card

the lady that speaks the street names (TTS) kinda talk too fast, sometime it's hard to understand what she saying.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] netnerd:
speaking of Iguidance. is there a script that turn on bluetooth automally when i launch iguidance?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] samw52000:
i hate to say it but tomtom all the way.

i have both, i have loves iguidance (used it since 2.0) and it worked great till things start slowing down for now reasons.

When it works it's great, when it doesn't it's a nightmare (you usually have to soft reset after closing to get the unit to sync again with a BT receiver).

tomtom on the other hand is very intuitive. map loading is a nightmare (much worse than iguidance) but once there everything is smooth sailing (soft menus do get a bit too deep at time).

in any case iguidance 4 looks nice but i think i'll stick with tomtom nav 6.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DeniaL:
does tomtom give you the ability to load destinations from your contacts list?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RemE:
Coppying this from another thread I posted in, to add a few points;

I tested it out last night on a Cingular 8525 that is running WM6 (Black Majik), and it works great, no more abrupt program closes when touching the screen while driving, that occured with v3 and WM6.

The new text to speech engine works fine however, they still use the nice English woman's voice for the basic prompts, then when a road comes up where the TTS kicks in, the voice switches to a rough sounding woman (maybe an old smoker?). The overall effect is OK but a little odd/distracting to me.

I used to change a few sounds in the program files\iNav\snd folder to my preference, e.g. I changed the annoying "ding" (Mvr.wav) to now say "TurnPoint". Well the sound files are still there but are now sporting .spx extensions, seem to be smaller files now. Edit, there are audio converters (eg. Ease Audio Converter) that easily convert .wav to .spx so it's still easy to tweak a few sounds if desired.

The North America Edition, covers North America, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. All of this and the TTS engine now are all in one 1.3gig folder that you must copy onto the phone's microSD card, no more loader program for maps! Since Black and other latest WM6 roms support MicroSDHC Cards, I added a 4gig card to mine so the storage is now a non issue for me.

Overall I like it, I'd prefer that the major highways still use the original voice "turn on 5 north" vs the TTS, nice voice "turn on" then rough voice "CA 5 North" which as I mentioned is just a little off sounding. But the prog seems stable, minor changes in the data entry areas but very minor.

Edit, Here's a tip from GPSpassion, to now choose your speech options, Original Voice Only (non-TTS), All TTS, and the stock Mixed Mode (wav and TTS).

* Open your register editor

* Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iNav\iGuidance

* Create a new DWORD Value

* Name it TTS

* Set the value to 0 to hear direction prompts consisting of only WAV

* Set the value to 1 to hear direction prompts consisting of WAV & TTS

* Set the value to 2 to hear direction prompts consisting of only TTS

0 = voice prompts as in older iGuidance versions (no street names)

1 = default voice prompts of iGuidance 4

2 = TTS (text-to-speech) used for the whole voice prompt (not just for street names)

I tried this, changed to All TTS and it's less distracting compared to the standard version where it's shifting between two different voices. I've tested this more and now see why iNav made this Mixed option the only option. If you use the "all TTS" option, there is a greater delay in the voice prompts which means the they come too late if you are driving at any faster speed (eg over 25-30 mph). The mixed version is OK as far as the delay. They should have put TTS On/Off as a toggle in the setup screens as I am still on the fence as to weather the TTS is that great. I'd like to be able to kick it in and out. Maybe a Mort Script is in my future for this.

All in all I do like it and iNav still. I may try OCN6 but don't want a dedicated memory card so that may nix that for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duman95:
It was tough clearing out some MP3s to get the space. I will be getting a 4G card when faster ones come out and I don't have to sell my first born to get one.

I was really on the fence but since it is performing good I don't mind paying for the upgrade.

I think there is a voice speed up/down hack floating around somewhere also if I fine it I will post it.

I really think that card speed impacts aspects of the programs performance. I have a 60X 2G card and it seems OK to me.

I just installed iGuidance 4, having used TomTom for several years. I'm not crazy about the iG4 interface, but the map and POI data is so much better.

Strangely, I am having the slow startup problem. I'm running an 8525 with Black Satin, and unless I disconnect my data connection (usually GPRS), it takes more than 2 minutes to load. It's not a big deal, as it's easy to disconnect, but it's surprising as I heard that this was fixed with version 4. I never ran version 3, so I don't know how the issue compares between versions. I'm not having the screen-touch crash problem at all.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] netnerd:
i running iguidance v4.0 with a script that turn on bluetooth automally when i launch ig4.0, it takes around 15seconds to load IG4.0 with GRPS data connected.

This is a little dis-concerting. I was going to buy this, but this is my biggest issue with iGuidance 3. Anyone else running into this issue?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sweetboy0215:
i used TT6 b4. It goes much faster than IGuidance 4.0. The iGuidance's map is much better accurated and pronounce street names. Iguidance makes my 8525 go really slow. I'm using Schaps 3.57a. TT6 turns on Bluetooth automaticly, but Iguidance 4.0 doesn't. Which one should i use?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bapski:
i have no startup issues with iG4. its the "stuttering problem" that has been bugging me and some others in another forum.

if you do experience the "stuttering problem" the registry edit that was posted few posts back solves it.

i do agree GUI of this app is yet to be desired. anybody else tried iGO? now that kind of GUI would be nice for iG4
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pawlisko:
Well, I do have problem with start-up. It's slow when on Data connection.

Other issues it's "stuttering problem" but I think that iNavCorp will handle this issue.

Overall the program is great. I've started with 2.3.1 then 3.0 -> 3.01. Maps, well I think what they did is great. 3.01 I had 1.4 GB with Eastern US and Canada, now 1.3 GB and its all. Interface - you have to get used to it, I like it.

I have original WM6 from HTC.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Voldemort:
yes, it does

i ve been using tomtom 5, now 6. it s actually better but i did a mistake and got the italy + main roads of europe map instead than italy only (you can get single countries one by one anytime).

the previous map was well detailed and 80mb big; the new one (with the useless main roads of the whole europe that i will surely not use - i d rather get the detailed map of the country i m travelling to) takes like 350mb and it s a bit laggy when giving directions, while tomtom5 with the little map was way more accurate.

overall i m really happy with tomtom and the POI add-ons you can install
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bapski:
another issue with iG4 is how it freezes and lose the bluetooth connection when you leave the app running and you are away from the bluetooth signal.

like if you leave your gps reciever in your car and your off to work leaving iG4 running.. next time you come back and use iG4, it will not get a fix from the gps.. id have to SR.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Voldemort:
this doesnt happen with tomtom. you can go out of range or turn the bt receiver off and then on again, and all goes well. but i guess it will start looking for the signal if the receiver is off/out of range and drain the phone battery...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bapski:
i know iG4 does, but then again new users might get this error: "bad or missing strabbr.bin" .
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
Please excuse my temporary detour of this thread, but is anyone having crash problems in IG 3.01 with an 8525 using the ATT WM6 ROM as a base?

I have read of this issue on gpspassion but never saw it with multiple cooked and downloaded WM6 ROMS on my trusty ol' WIZARD. Unfortunately, EVERY WM6 flavor I have thrown at this 8525 causes an IG crash when trying to access the menu from full screen mode (car is moving). If I stop the vehicle and let the bottom menu re-appear (window mode), then I can access the menu without a program crash.

I'm beginning to think my only option is to upgrade to IG4, but I hate that maploader has been tossed...seems like a HUGE waste of expensive SD card space.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sweetboy0215:
I'm using TT6 for almost a year. i tried IGuidance4 last week. let's compare both2:

TT6: automatic connect BT, fast respond, fast start-up, nicer map.

pro: no pronounce name of the street, old map.

IG4: pronounce street's name. londer voices. new map but odd looking.

slow staring up the application.

Go back to TT6.

did i mention that for now you just cannot register iG4? ive been trying to register my product to avail of product support (maybe/hopefully) to no avail.

Hey everyone...well just wanted to put my two cents in........ I have used IG3 and 4, Tom Tom, destinator, and I-GO....and the one that i have never had any problems with what so ever has been I-GO...and i have used I-GO with pretty much ALL the roms on here (b/cs i have a lot of fun trying them all:cool: ) so if you guys could get I-GO you will not go wrong......Im stickin with it!!

Thanx,

I just got my iGuidance 4.0 yesterday and run it with Cingular 8525 w/ ATT WM6 ROM.

So far I think the app. is pretty solid. Loading the map takes a bit longer now due to more information to process, but I like the idea to have the whole NA maps in the memory card.

Things that I found:

- slow loading when GPRS/HSDPA connection is on (thought they would fix this from iGuidance 3).

- stuttering problem that members have reported. So far it's only for the street name, so not a big deal for me.

- biggest annoyance so far tho, the backlight won't stay on all the time like with iGuidance 3. I'm not sure if this is a WM6 bug or iGuidance 4 bug.

But so far, I'm happy with it. I'm going to fully use the software this weekend when I travel out of town.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] samw52000:
Yes and it actually allows you to upload itineraries from apps such as Google Earth (provided you download a free little converter). It's just awesome to be able to map waypoints on your trip.

One thing that seems to be a bit different is the fastest route mapping. Somehow it seems that iNAV used to get me there faster (or maybe it's just me not used to the new directions).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] aadadams:
I am happy with iGuidance 4.0 as well. I have tried TomTom, but not the others mentioned in the thread. In the past my largest complaint about iGuidance was that it used to take well over 2GB for the N. America. Now that is down to 1.2GB which suits me just fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bapski:
..................................................................
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Kodok:
I can do that. But with iGuidance 3 running on ATT WM5 ROM, I didn't have to mess with the settings and it kept the backlight on.

File

I had the same problem with v4 "Bad or missing strabbr.bin" file when navigating to a contact. I used the file from v3 which has fixed the problem. Strange that you can not find the file on an iGuidance support forum with google. Anyway I have placed the file here: ftp://ftp.vasci.com/misc/strabbr.bin

problem with iguidance 4.0

I just purchased iguidance 4.0 and installed on AT&T 8525 and it works great and I am so happy with it. The only problem I have and I am not sure if it's a problem or me not knowing about some settings. When I am navigating and get phone call, iguidance seems to halt and wait to end of the phone call and then prompt me if I still wanna continue to that destination. So if somebody calls me when iguidance is on, I get lost basiacally. Does anyone know a fix for this ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ae6057:
Anybody there ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] noellenchris:
Sorry, I can't remember. I quit using IGuidance in favor of Garmin Mobile XT since it has live traffic, weather, gas prices via the internet plus newer maps. I did like the text to speech, though Mio Map is way better for that.

I'm still looking for a better solution.... Good luck, I hope someone knows a fix for your situation.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ae6057:
Iduidance v4

Have you tried to receive a call while navigating ? I have Iguidance v4 on AT&T 8525 (HTC hermes) it work great until somebody calls me, it stops navigating until the end of call and then prompt me if I want to continue to my destination. In other words, if somebody calls me while navigating I will get lost :(. Does this happen to you too or its just me ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tedbacc:
So pray tell us how XT works on the Hermes, is it accurate, better routing, automatic BT startup and screen staying on etc, ie. all the niggles from iG and Tomtom gone? If so I'll be trying it out soon....

Hmm, I thought iG 4 and XT used the same Navteq maps, or do you see a difference?

Thanks in advance for the info... I'm still looking too...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tedbacc:
Same old story...

Yeah, just tried XT latest off garmin's website (.50) and it had me round in circles....

On the way to the post office on Wrenn Drive in Cary from 1010/Kildaire Rd intersection , it told me to turn right while the map showed just a little wiggle in the main road going across a widened intersection. On the way home it told me to urn off the same main road - turn right, then immediately left, then immediately right again... guess what, I'm still on the same main road. Then ignored the same wiggly intersection on the way back...

Looks like same old tricks iGuidance 3.x used to pull that got me so ticked off with it, taking me off highways and back on after the overpass.... Back to TomTom6 it is... unfortunately even with older maps it looks like it's still a better and more reliable routing engine (while still not perfect)... funny, cause my wife has a Garmin c340 and it has the same idiotic routing in some cases, having me go through midtown rather than a bypass to get to the other side of Raleigh, and creates a horizontal u around a perfectly good crossover intersection getting onto rte.1 from Regency Parkway that's been there since the dinosaurs roamed....

Also noted XT REQUIRES over 14mb of free RAM in order to start up without an error dialog, unlike TT6, which just gets on with it, and closes down soon as anything else happens on my 8525, I guess cause it really neeeeeeds that much memory to survive. Not so good. And the Custom POIs feature is broken, so can't get routes or favorites off my PC into it easily. Uck.

What I liked was the clean interface, the good searchahead and overall responsiveness of the map when browsing it to look for stuff. iG4 is awful at the latter, no detail at all when browsing at higher levels, and scrolls all over the place. And I remember that from ig3 as well...

Ah well..... good thing life>GPS !!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] noellenchris:
IG4 seemed to give the best routes. With the latest maps for XT (2009), XT does ok. I use XT since it gives me traffic, I usually know where I'm going and rarely totally depend on any of the software to route me. XT also never gives me any problems with incoming calls and I can easily switch to my today screen and use other programs then switch back without issues.

IG4 is nice with TTS and custom POI's.

The winner for me will be the one that can use internet for (POI's, Traffic, Gas prices, weather) and TTS with updated maps. And of course good routing.

TT6 always seemed to have me turn right instead of left for speed, but sacrificed distance.

The feature I really would love to have is Traffic Statistics. ie: (at 5pm rush hour it would avoid certain roads etc.) Plus live traffic. This would be the best traffic solution.

Chris
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gregma:
I've used IG4 for quite some time on my Dell X51V. I absolutely love it! Will I let it blindly lead me around some stupid circle? No, I do still have a brain and like to use it :)

Can you tell me if XT tells you which side of the street your destination is? That's a deal breaker for me as I use that sooo much! So far IG has been the only software to do that. Although since my company just purchased a major navigation software company I might get to have more of a say in what goes into the product ;)

Thanks!

Greg
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] noellenchris:
It does tell you "destination ahead on left" etc. It doesn't tell you street names (No TTS), MioMap will use TTS and tell you to stay to right or left when there is a turn lane, I wish XT would do that too.

Not sure what internet lag you're talking about but iG4 doesn't use the internet. All maps are on the card and you can navigate while using the phone radio.
