[myTouch 3G, Magic General] armrob:
I'm looking into buying a Magic or Hero, but after looking at the hardware specs, i gotta say i'm confused a bit.

it seems the Hero supports MPEG-4, H.263, H.264 and Windows Media® Video 9, while for the Magic thet list only MPEG-4

I'm thinking how can that be since they are both running android ? the same goes for exchange support. aren't such features suppose to be only software specific ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pack:
personally i would go with hero :/
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] buggs1a:
Gps doesn't work on my phone. Do I need to return it? Google doesn't know where I am and waze also today does the same thing now. Says no gps, go outside when I am outside. I had the storm for a few weeks just before I got the tp2 and it had no problem. Google maps knew where I was. On my tp2 it's set location on.

I don't know what to do. I have alot of anxiety over this now.

I hope someone will be able to please help me.

Thank you so much.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] AstarteSV:
Did you:

1) SEARCH the this forum first?

2) Set your phone's GPS option to always on instead on 911 only?

3) Update the "Quick GPS" Program?

4) Select the "Use GPS" option in Google maps?

if you answered "No" to any of these, please return your phone and get your storm back.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] buggs1a:
Yes I did all that.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] AstarteSV:
hmmm... does Google maps day "GPS active" or "Seeking GPS Satellites" up in the top right corner??
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] buggs1a:
It said seeking.

I did not click the gps button in google maps. I thought I did click it. Sorry :(

it then said it found no gps hardware after j enabled the gps. So I did a memory, storage button and erase back to factory. So I'll try again. But, what is the google.com URL to use to get google maps for my phone? Only thing is one place said google maps is not available for my phone. I forget what site said this.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] AstarteSV:
Google hates Opera Mobile for some odd reason, try going to m.google.com in pocket IE or whatever it's called and select Google Maps from there.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] buggs1a:
Ok. Great. Thanks. Yes I was using opera.

I just think of it as IE. Don't know what pocket pc means really. So I'll use the built in IE mobile and try m.google.com and report back. Thanks so much.

don't forget to do steps 2 through 4 in my first post.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] buggs1a:
I just got back from a walk to test the gps. It worked awesome with google maps. I installed it first to sd card. I tried to run it and it would not work. It popped up some sort of error. Like runtime maybe. I forget. I went to remove programs and it wouldn't remove it giving same error or something. I forget the error. So I had to manually delete the new folders on the sd card. Then I installed to main storage and it worked.

It says gps 10 in the top right. What does this mean?

It was dead on accurate. It was literally exact and when not probably within 20 feet or less. I thought it was funny when I would walk into the middle of the street the blue ball followed me and when I was in the middle of the street it was too. Kinda eary like lol. It was awesomely accurate.

Does google maps have turn by turn directions? My cousin who has iPhone says it does. I know it won't talk to you :(.

Can you guys recomend other free gps apps/services? Waze doesn't work good since alot of times it looses connection and won't try to reconnect. I also doesn't have good coverage which I don't understand. It's using gps so how can it not know where I am?

I just can't afford money cus I'm on disability right now and don't work. I have a huge visa bill I'm paying and now I have to have a tooth replacement which will cost me upwards of $3000-$4000. This range is possible. So free is preferred of course. However if there's a free trial of a good one I don't mind trying one.

What is the use for gps device with this phone? The phone has external gps settings. What's this for?

Sorry for all the questions.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] AstarteSV:
The "10" at the top means that 10 satellites got a lock on ya (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) And yes, you can get turn by turn directions, but sometimes, even google makes mistakes with it's addresses, so be careful. I'll leave the rest up to anyone else that has some good suggestions or answers...

Also... everything is free on the piratebay...you know... just saying...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] worwig:
Also try Windows Live Search Mobile, or Bing mobile, whatever it is called.

It does routing a bit better then Google IMHO, and has a warning tone just before a turn. Though still no speech.

The only problem is that it expects to have a D-Pad for zooming in and out. The TP2 doesn't have that, some zooming in and out is a pain.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] das7771:
IGO 8 is a great GPS software at least IMO. It has very little lag during navigation and so far I have found it to be one of the most accurate as far as the maps are conerned. I have used just about every GPS software there is whether it is free or paid subscriptions and IGO 8 it the only one that actually show the front entrance to my community on the maps. According to all other GPS softwares it does not exist. I have used all the current versions and IGO 8 is the only once showing this. Every once in a while it will take me on a longer route when I know there is a shorter way, but so far if I do not know where I am going it will get me there. It's not perfect but I find it the fasetest and most accurate for what I use it for. I am sure others will have different opinions.

Google it.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Techitrucker:
Google Navigator

Google maps works okay by itself, but it apparently works better with this and its also free. Make you wander how anyone will be able to charge for navigation in the future if it works well. Looks as good on screen as any commercial product.

http://google-navigator.en.softonic.com/pocketpc

Never mind this suggestion. Upon further looking around it actually costs $59 bucks. Not what you are looking for. The trial does not even allow actual navigation to start.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jerseygeorge:
I have a VZW TP2 for about two weeks. I put Bing and Google Maps on it and the GPS appeared to work OK. Then it stopped.

For over one week no GPS. Right now I put it in the back yard on a table. Clear view of the sky. No luck.

My TP2 does not have QUICKGPS. I have been told that is standard on all TP2's. Verizon said to do a hard reset to get it.

Are those of you having success using QUICKGPS? Any idea how to get it without doing a hard reset and hoping it populates on the device???

JG
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] buggs1a:
Thanks for the responses so far. I appreciate it.

Quick gps should be in the phone. If not there's only hard reset back to factory. However you got it that way and it should be on the phone. If it's not then return it for another. That's what I'd do anyway.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jerseygeorge:
I did the hard reset. Quick GPS was there! I have quite a few hours of work to reset the phone and reinstall the programs that I had.

I would estimate 4-5 hours to get the phone back to where it was. This sure seems like a lot of work to get one silly file on the TP2.....:mad:

Horrible lag

You huys are telling me you have no lag in your gps??? I can lock in seconds no problem but when I use any nav software is has a 10-20sec lag! It blows..... I have a solid 8-13 sats and same thing. I went as far as doing a hard reset and installing nothing but googke maps and it still lagged........ Any help?!?!?!:mad::confused:
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] buggs1a:
Tp2 comes with live search already. I thought it was search only so I never opened it. Well I did finally and it's better then google maps because it shows the directions on the bottom of the map screen while you move. And I heard it beep at me on my driveway which I just was testing it. Kinda neat but it sucks cus it's your system beep I think and volume is far too soft.

So I updated to the new version which is bing and installed it to my sd card. I haven't tested it yet though. Oh yeah. Picture quality in live/bing is the WORST ever!!!! It sucks balls. It's blurry and hurts my eyes to look at it. Any other map app I'm sure is a kazillion times clearer like google maps has an awesome clean clear crisp picture. F ms I say. Since it's such a Terrible picture.

Or is there something to set to make it not so crummy I wonder?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] michael.santos:
Hi community!

I have a Yakumo DeltaX 5 BT (Airis T620 / Mio P550 clone) and want to try the new WM6.1 ROM for Mio P550 clones... Before I do so, I have made a dump of my original ROM with pdocread.exe (Yakumo never provided any ROM for this model). I got 4 files (Part00.raw, Part01.raw, Part02.raw and Part03.raw). My question is, how can I make a flashable ROM (for backup purpose) using this files and any Mio P550 or Airis T620 ROM as template? Can anyone tell me how I can do it? Or can anyone cook it for me (I can upload the files if needed)?

Hope anyone can help me... :o

Regards,

Michael

There was an instruction to make gmail mobile 2.0 work in full screen before, but it seems that gmail has change something and that method isn't working any more. Can any one help with new instruction to make it works ? The old one is taken from another post and paste it below.

==============================================

Just found this helpful information on the google mobile blog:

http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/200...mobile-20.html

Hi all,

I've found a temporary but working solution to the full screen issue in gmail mobile 2.0

You need to install the application from a modified .jad file; three lines in the original jad has to be changed in the following way

* UseNativeTextButtons: false

* ReverseSoftkeys: true

* UseNativeCommands: false

Then install from the jad and voila', it works full screen!

The original jad file can be downloaded from:

http://m.google.com/app/gmail.jad?dc...nic&ver=v2.0.6

Hope it helped.

hello. i was just wondering if you need a pc in order to do all this? i have a mac... any help is appreciated. this will be my first time customizing a wm phone. just waiting for the att tilt 2 to be available :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
You wouldn't need a PC running Windows to flash ROMS since you can flash via the SD card. And you can always install cabs by transferring them over via disk drive mode.

But most of the tools I found here for customizing manila images and stuff are Windows apps. Perhaps you should look into Windows emulators.
[Imagio General] rolandroland:
Since there is no push Internet and TouchFlo is only 5% of the mem usage. Anyone know why this phone uses more mem on boot than TP2? I have been poking around running apps and haven't found a hog yet.

Anyone else find any app using a large amount of memory?
[Imagio General] peanut_butter:
You can install the proxy for the cdma touch pro 2 (Rhodium) and it will cut the memory down to about 50% usage. I noticed that mine was running in the mid 70's so I started experimenting with Touch Pro 2 stuff since that 's what I had before and the .cab's were still on my memory card.
[Imagio General] Chujax:
Hey guys,

I'm new to the website. Just got my Imagio and liking most of the features. Can you tell me where I can find this .cab file you're talking about. I looked through the touch pro 2 threads but couldn't find anything.

Thanks for the help
[Imagio General] cloppy:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=85996&highlight=disable+push+internet

These 2 cabs worked for me reduced mem usage from 70s to 50s
[Imagio General] Osteo:
Read their entire thread, seemed harmless, and installed both cabs. I went from 70% to 50% with no negatives yet. I don't even see the slow Opera loads that the thread mentions. Thanks for the link!
[Imagio General] the_passenger:
Maybe the pagepool is set too high and/or the freaking MediaFlo service is always running (almost 600Kb worth of precious memory)
[Imagio General] Chujax:
Worked for me as well. Thanks for the help
[Imagio General] Boss428man:
I am never going to use media flo. Hopefully we can find a way to strip it out of the Imagio.
[Imagio General] rolandroland:
I did install the SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy.cab which recovered some RAM. The Imagio does still seem slightly slower than the TP2, probably just 6.5 vs 6.1.
[Imagio General] funpunx:
i doubt it since i just saw a post at engadget mentioning that 6.5 is noticeably snappier on the same hardware vs. 6.1. i believe they were speaking in reference to the Leo though so it's not an apples to apples comparison.
[Imagio General] rolandroland:
I had both devices, the TP2 is definitely a little quicker. The leo/hd2 is obviously a different animal all together.

The mem fix for the Imagio is temporary, after a day it is back in the 80's% utilization w/o a reset. The proxy was the same for the TP2, except the disabling the push internet provided some permanent relief. I'm sure once it is unlocked and roms are cooked things will get better.
[Imagio General] makryger:
So when/how does this cooking process begin? Does it take a long time to get a stripped-down Rom?

That VCast Mobile TV Icon is really bugging me, and I'm sure its just eating away at my memory. I also really don't need all that other VCast/Mobile IM/VZNavigator junk that they put on there to increase monthly fees.
[Imagio General] fwaits:
I think an Unlocker is being worked on, or needs to be worked on before any ROM cooking is possible. Depending on whether anyone has an Imagio they are able to toy with in this regard and how knowledgeable they are, it could be tomorrow or months before we see this happen. I'm hoping it will be sooner than later of course. =)
[Imagio General] Boss428man:
You can remove the Verizon programs by deleting them out of the programs files directory then going into the windows/start menu directory delete the shortcuts. It will free up around 20-25mb.

[Imagio General] slumpey326:
I installed this one "SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy.cab", but what does the other cab file do and where I can I find it.
[Imagio General] makryger:
After installing both of those programs, my memory usage is down in the low-fifities. Of course, it slowly creeps up throughout the day. But at least now, the creep is from 50--> 70 rather than 60-->80.
[Imagio General] fwaits:
This will simply free up storage space on the device ROM, not RAM correct? Or does removing these mean that less is loaded into RAM at startup? And do you get any startup error messages when you soft reset after doing this?
[Imagio General] Boss428man:
Now i could be wrong but I don't think any of them load to ram unless you actually run them. But yes that will only remove them from the storage memory.

My previous Verizon Diamond used even more memory then the Imagio % wise. I actually feel the Imagio is pretty good with ram by comparison. The crappy thing with my old phone was the storage would fill up with only the basics installed so I had to remove every VZ programs just to keep it from being totaly filled.

I really think touchflo uses a lot of memory combined with emails, sms, and the dialer and any other dormant software you have scheduled to run. That is just my take on it.
[Imagio General] lonnieuptegrow:
I've been playing with my imagio pretty much all weekend and I notice the amount of memory being used too. Mine hangs around 74 to 75 percent with TouchFlo 3d enabled. I noticed that once I disabled TouchFlo 3d my memory usage dropped to 65 percent. I'm thinking TouchFlo 3d is using roughly 10% of the ram.
[Imagio General] treetopflyer:
I've installed the SSK TP2 cab and reset the phone, the memory usage is at about 52%. Without launching any apps, it slowly increases over a few hours and tops out in the mid to upper 70s. I reset and it's back down to the 50s.

I will say that as far as general usability, i don't notice any slowdowns in touchflo or other apps when its in the 70s. It's more the principal of wanting to run it as lean as possible, maybe gain a few minutes of extra juice :D
[Imagio General] coolpoete:
Remove TV Icon (Media Flo)

PPC Geeks have also figured out how to remove the TV Icon from the screen and freeing up some memory in the process as well. Make sure to back up your registry before you do!

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=91963
[Imagio General] Nicaragüense:
I did the tv icon thingy by deleting that reg key mentioned in the ppcgeeks link and it works, I also played with the regproxy registry settings but that didnt seem to stick.. at least the annoying tv icon is gone!! woot.. Im am tethered as we speak and I am at a steady 68% though.
[Imagio General] lonnieuptegrow:
If I thought that I could gain more memory I would go through the trouble of doing the remove tv icon tweak but I'm already sitting at roughly 51 to 55 percent with the NoPushInternet and Proxy tweaks. I also use the CleanRam app and I think I'm set.

Hopefully if you guys notice a big difference you can lets us know. Right now I just don't see a big gain other then removing the icon.
[Imagio General] rolandroland:
It appears removing the icon doesn't really increase performance and just gives a temporary boost in free memory.

Now that the TP2 is unlocked I hope this one gets unlocked soon.

Ran CABs and removed TV icon --still in upper 60s

Hey All:

I have installed the two TP2 CABs (seen throughout this thread), as well as removed the TV! icon. Unfortunately, I'm still seeing memory utilization between 67% and 72%. What kind of apps do you have loaded, items on home screen, etc.? I am not sure how you all are getting into the 50% range...

Memory Leak

To all, I think all the post here are great, but we are all missing something, one or more of the Imagio's applications is leaking memory. Has anyone figured out which one(s) it is? Is there a tool that will let you monitor memory per applications/services?
[Imagio General] Kebero:
I think it's somewhere in TF3D or one of the HTC services. I run MS3.5.1 on my Imagio, disabled the TF3D today plugin, and used Memory Maid to disable almost all of the HTC startup services (I kept KTCSipSrvc because of the keyboard). Memory seems to be holding more or less steady around 50-55%.
[Imagio General] mattyboysez:
Interesting.

Can anyone else confirm?
[Imagio General] rolandroland:
Disabling TF3D does reduce RAM initially but doesn't stop the leak. Must me a HTC service or something else completely.
[Imagio General] Kebero:
The only HTC service I run is the SIP, so yeah, you're likely right, it's one of the services other than TF3D.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedysilwady:
Hi, Ive searched all over the internet (and these forums) for an answer. I dont know if anyone has had a similar problem, or even better, a solution.

Ive had this problem since I was on an unmodded G1 using 1.5 Cupcake, then I rooted and have been using cyanogen roms since then, and the problem is still present. I am currently using CyanogenMod v4.1.11.1.

Whenever I recieve a notification as music is playing through headphones using the T-Mobile 3.5mm Adapter, The sound totally mutes, and doesnt come back whenever I get a phone call or a text message or if i continue playing music. (I use the default music player).

The only way to restore the sound is to reboot the phone, but if another notification arrives while headphones are plugged in (even when music isnt playing) the problem strikes again.

Any suggestions on how to solve this? Ive tried using programs like Volume Control and still havent been able to solve it... Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
