Aside from no turn-by-turn which I'm sure is a whole different monster to tackle, but something that bugs me even more since - IT ALREADY EXISTS IN GOOGLE MAPS WEBSITE!

What I mean is, while signed in my google account on a browser and going to Google Maps, i start typing in "Broad" and a history of previous searches start to auto-populate. I run a search on "700 N Broad Street Philadelphia PA" on my PC, I can go on ANY browser (including any web browser in Android even!) and upon just typing up "700" will bring up "700 N Broad Street Philadelphia PA" and so forth.

So why on blue earth doesn't the friggin Google Maps app NOT support this? It can do Compass, latitude, and even Street View + Compass but NOT this? Even though all the app have to do is verify your account that you ran a Maps query under in browser and then pull down your history from the server? Why? WHY?! I'll listen to any bs on why there isn't no turn-by-turn or anything but THIS? THIS?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :mad:

*sigh* apologies if this was already addressed and I missed it, but it seriously bugs me. if there is also any apps/hacks that addresses this then that would also be awesome :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Temjin:
Hello all,

With the new HTC Update avilable I'm thinking about applying it however if I'm going to do any sort of updating on my device I figured it might be worth doing as much as possible.

Currently my device (Orange branded) is unrooted - everything is set to factory default. What I would like to do however is get things like App2SD working on it (I don't want to be loosing my apps everytime I have to flash in the future and simply I prefer having stuff on the SD card).

Anyhow, I'm still quite new to all of this so I'm wondering if I've got the following right in my head in terms of a high-level TODO list:

Step 1 - Back the phone up (including the original Orange rom - that way I can restore it if need be for warranty purposes)

Step 2 - Root the phone

Step 3 - Partition the SD card and get App2SD

Step 4 - Apply the new HTC update (HTC Hero_2.73.405.5)

Step 5 - All done!

Now a couple of safety questions:

- Does the above all sound correct? I.e. I take it there is nothing to be gained by trying to update the device first before rooting...etc

- What is the best way to make a backup of the phone and the current rom it is using? (in this case it is the factory default for Orange)

- If the phone is rooted, does this effectively mean the device is open and standard HTC updates can be applied or does it still need to be Orange?

Thanks!

Hello peeps,

I'm due for an upgrade on 3rd Oct and I usually get a better phone if ask for number portability forms from the retention dept.

I am about to start this process but need some help in choosing the phone.

My fav dev's seem to be moving to the touch pro 2 and I wonder if I should follow.

HW keyboard is not essential.

Your thoughts please.

Kind Regards

So, is aGPS pretty much impossible at this point? Should I just worry about using regular GPS?

I am going to flash to a custom ROM, but don't want to spend the time trying the aGPS hack if it isn't going to work.

TIA
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] cointelbro:
Hopefully you haven't run customizations on the default ROM yet, or you'll have a bit of a headache getting standalone GPS to work. Even when it works, it takes a few minutes to actually get a lock. Sigh.

Your aGPS options are to do the hack (make sure you have XP 32 bit, the QPST software doesn't seem to work on Vista/7 x64) or you can just pay for aGPS service from Verizon (I think).

Honestly I wouldn't worry about aGPS because most people probably have a dedicated GPS anyway. It's worth unlocking standalone GPS though, in case you're lost without anything but your phone. It saved my ass on a camping trip recently.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] DrRoger:
So sorry for sounding ignorant, but last time I did a hard reset, best I recall the phone did customization without asking me? How do you stop it from running customizations?

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Reddog80p:
To stop customizations from running soft reset the phone as soon as as the customization countdown begins.

I let the customizations run on the MR1 update and followed the directions here http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS (i skipped step 6 since I'm using a custom rom) and have no issues with standalone gps I have a data block and use TomTom 7 using NFSFANs 6.5 Roms.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] DrRoger:
Ah! Thanks! I went to the link you gave to the wiki above. I'm puzzled as to why they have you flash with a Sprint ROM first and then a Verizon ROM???
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] snowcraig:
Should I upgrade to a custom ROM, then activate my phone, or should i activate and then upgrade?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ramirata:
Upgrade first then activate, that way you avoid having to deal with calling for a new A-key.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Berzerk54:
If you bought your phone through Verizon it comes with the GPS locked. Flashing to sprint unlocks the GPS. Then you have to flash back the verizon Rom to use their service, but you have to prevent verizon customizations otherwise the GPS will be locked again.

Out of the box, sprint did not lock out standalone GPS. Verizon locked it out so that account holders would have to pay to use the VZ navigator service.
[G1 Android Development] mrxkpex:
Hello everyone! Last night I spent about 3 hours installing the JACXHERO-v2.6.6 rom onto my Tmobile G1 using a method from unlockr.com (http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/ho...ps2sd-onto-your-g1-or-mytouch-3g-best-method/). Unfortunately, it runs extremely slow right now.

I know I am still new to this and realize there are some veterans on this forum that have a lot more experience with this. Can anyone please suggest to me what to do?

The bottom line is, all i want to do is run a stable and lag free (or fast) Rom.

Hello devs and users..i've seen on a website,that htc dream in the future (after android 2.0 eclair),can't be upgraded with new software version,because his internal memory is too small...is really so,or xda developers may create lighter updates?

Excuse for my (bad) english!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
To answer the question here in case anybody else reads this thread (you should NEVER leave a thread in this state where it doesn't answer the question), the answer is this;

Those websites that you have read are written by MORONS. There is NO REASON AT ALL why dream can't be upgraded to any future android version. There is *plenty* of space, and a *LOT* that can be done to use storage and ram more efficiently.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I gotta agree, those guys are morons. All the new android phones coming out are all close to the same specs so do you really think they would release phones now that will be obsolete before the contracts are up, nah. The dream has plenty of life in it and plenty of time for it to keep advancing. Plus the devs here work some crazy ass magic on this platform
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iCe87:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian_v3ntura:
but the dream has 256mb of rom memory. while all the other newer android devices have 512mb of rom memory and sources said that the cupcake update almost filled up the available rom memory. i just dont see how update past 2.0 will even fit. besides placing part of the rom on the sd card.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Sure 256. Thing is that the android OS DREAM ADP1 build (take a look at cyanogen's latest donut) is sitting at just over 60 MB (in the case of crazy experimental bloatware ;) -- only 52.4 for the official image). And yes, that's already DONUT 1.6 (to prove that it can be done) My math says that we have a flexibility of somewhere in the neighborhood of (taking boot block and other stuff into account) about 140 MB sitting around that *could* be used for system. Very important to think about is the /cache partition, which is WASTING over *SIXTY MEGABYTES*, which means that we can EASILY fit in a system image that is *TWICE AS BIG*, and that is BEFORE compromising the /data partition (which also can be done yielding up to an additional 75MB).

Here's a tip for ROM developers as the /system partition starts to get tight....

mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 at somewhere like /system/block4, create a small (i.e. 5, 10 MB) loop filesystem at /system/block4/cache.img and mount THAT at /cache, then throw a whole bunch of crap from (for example) /system/app into /system/block4/app and create a link /system/app --> /system/block4/app.

Note: there is a WHOLE BUNCH of crap included in current system images that doesn't need to be there, i.e. install as regular apps instead of as system apps. Just as a quick look-through, there is over 10 MB that can be recovered just from the /system/app directory on cyanogen 4.1.10.1, with that, we can get close to 15 MB free on /system on a Donut build. Now put in some more aggressive optimizations...

There are *TONS* of things that can be done to fit in new android versions.

Oh, and did I mention that newer doesn't necessarily mean *bigger*? Who says that éclair (or flan) will be any bigger than 1.0 was?

Now consider this:

The "official" ADP1 v1.5 system image is only TWO MEGABYTES larger than 1.0 at 52.4 MB.. of an available 67.5 hmm.. that leaves plenty of space already = 15 MB. And I'm sure you're aware of how many new features and polishes they added into the 1.5 for only 2 MB.... Just think what they can do with 15! Just think what can be done with 75!!!! (before even compromising /data).

I'll repeat again just to be clear.... We are NOT up against a wall with space. There is *LOTS* of space for new versions.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] zer037:
Hi all,

Can anyone shed some light on this question? How does power consumption differ between always suspend the UNI versus always ScreenOff the UNI, is there a big difference?

P.S. ( Does any one know how to make the middle button become the power on/off button? I tried AEPlus Button and it cannot remap the power switch)

Thanks!!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GNotten:
During suspend mode, most of the non-essential hardware is turned off (e.g. SD Card is unmounted, Screen off, CPU is under-clocked @ 104 MHz etc.) This mode can be compared with PC S3 mode. In this mode, with all radios off, my device loses max. 3% battery per day.

In screen-off mode, all the hardware except the screen is running (at full speed) and consuming the battery is a matter of hours.

My question is why would you need the screen-of mode? Unless you're using an application which really needs that, my advice is to use suspend if you don't want to charge your device more than once per day.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] zer037:
GNotten

Thanks for the reply. I now confirmed that by actual testing too, and u were 100% right.

P.S. I wanna use screen off mainly b/c I wanna use the middle Enter button to turn on or off the phone. like a iphone style. So the best i can do is to map enter key to control backlight. While it can suspend the device, but it cannot wake the device from suspend since for Uni, i guess the middle Enter key and the navigations keys are not considered as "hardware keys" so i cannot map them to reactive the device.

Thats why I wanna know how to map the enter key as power switch as well.

hope someone knows the way, if there is any. :)

The one thing I don't like about the HTCpedia site is that there seems to be no moderator (dangit FallenSpartan!!! MODERATE!!!!!!) And so a thread that started out decently is turning into a mosh pit of negative banter and its subsequent negative responses...and "Oh I love this" and "Oh, I found this"...

And when there are legitimate questions, they get lost in all the crap of useless questions such as "Where is the download link?"

Okay, my question...hopefully can be answered:

I use Wizbar Advance 3

I usually clean up my start tab and create folders, move shortcuts around (and have been wondering what those HTC calendar, music, people, twitter shortcuts are doing in the start tab, I delete those)--I even add a quickstart shortcut to some programs so I don't have to go into those folders---

And then, I soft reset...

All my shortcuts on the main Start tab have now been moved to the tab with all the folders, and then the mysterious HTC applications reappear...

Any ideas?

The bottom part of my VZW TP2 (the part of the keyboard) seems to stick out ever so slightly to the right of the display portion. This is more noticeable toward the top of the device, leading me to believe that my device is slightly crooked (even if it isn't noticeable without feeling the sides of the device). Even though no functionality is lost, it still does bother me, because I always notice the asymmetry.

It's about 0.25mm or so to the right.

Are your devices like this too? The keyboard part slightly to the right of the display part of the TP2? I did drop my TP2 on the ground rather hard, but other than a couple of scratches (not on the screen, thank heavens), it works fine. Perhaps the drop caused this?

I'm hoping that I can somehow lead Verizon to believe this is a hardware defect and get a new one in exchange >_>
