[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] whitej8:
Yesterday I upgraded to 4.2.12.2. After rebooting I see the Tmoble screen then the android screen then nothing.

After doing some reading last night I pulled the SD card and rebooted. The phone now boots properly. If I then insert the SD card I can access images and audio files but my apps are still gone.

Did something change with Apps2SD? Does anyone have suggestions on how to recover?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] big_d093:
wrong section..but use a sdcard reader put your files on the computer..let your phoone boot up without the card..then reformat for sdcard(fat32 ext2 swap etc.)..then put the files back on the sd..see if that works..*not an expert just something i would try*

Does anyone know the exact position of the light sensor on N1?

Also I found the automatic brightness a little dim for me

IMO i should be able to set brightness relative to light sensor, as on symbian devices
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
I believe its in the top left on the front, next to proximity sensor, i use manual brightness settings.

Has anyone seen or heard of a facebook tab for sense 2.5? I know there is stand alone facebook app and facebook integration in the people tab. I also know know there is a twitter tab in sense already. Anyone heard of such a thing?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jasonjoo:
There's only a Twitter tab for Sense 2.5 because HTC developed it themselves. There is no currently existing Facebook tab for Sense 2.5, although if you're willing to develop it, be our guest.

I'd like to see a FB tab too. Having to open the app or go to the website takes too long. Be sure to include options to upload photos from the tab.:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] hello00:
Yeah..but who made the Manila TV tab? HTC didn't develop it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rich2thad:
yea agreed i would love to see a facebook and myspace tab would almost be like our own lil better version of motoblur. =)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] KevinACrider:
There is code in the Development section for creating a new custom tab but someone has to finish it off with the Facebook API. I really doubt we'll ever see a Facebook tab.

Hi,

can somebody post a script, app, or sth which save the made pictures double. My pics were stored at

I'm looking for a script which will automatic save a new picture anywhere else.

possible?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cjm1979:
I use advanced config to change location. You can change it to save camera shots in either the Dcim or My pictures and then tell it where to save, either Phone or storage card. Do you need 2 copies or just a different location other than dcim?

[Nexus One General] lightforce:
has anyone tried changing their internet plan online to the 10 dollar one and getting it to work? My friend has a N900 since it came out and has the 10 dollar plan selected and has ful 3g. Im wondering if anyone has tried this with the n1
[Nexus One General] Henchman:
AFAIK T-Mobile us moving away from having a bunch of different plans.

I don't think you can even sign up for the $10- internet plan.

But I could be wrong.
[Nexus One General] aldo37:
Yes, I tried it - Even More + and then adding the $10 internet plan after changing my phone to a Nokia dumbphone in the account settings.

It didn't work with any APN.
[Nexus One General] lightforce:
dang, tmobile must have figured it out then
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
yeah I tried it didnt work at all. What you can do however is call tmobile and ask for the android plan. You will get it for 25$ as opposed to the 30$ online price.
[Nexus One General] icon57:
whats the diff between the "data plan" and the "android plan" besides price?

someone posted about changing to the android plan to help solve the 3g issue many of us are having....could someone explain to me how this would help?
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
I dont think thats what fixed it, I tihnk its the fact that he got a new SIM card. I remember reading when tmobile switched to 3G some people with an old SIM card could not get 3G service until they replaced it with a new one.

Also, only the android data plan works for android phones. The other plan is for non android smartphones.
[Nexus One General] icon57:
ahhh...ok....

but let me ask you this, i got my g1 back in dec08 tmobile had 3g back then right? i dont think i need a new sim card...but when i am in my "about phone" settings i see it jumping from umts to hsdpa and back to umts...all the while my 3g status "on top of the curtain stays on 3g...

is this a normal thing? and ii think my sim card is from 06 or 07
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
ive had the same sim card since 06 and i am getting 3g :rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] maxawesome:
They are phasing this out. You will ultimately be required to have the $30 plan. The $25 plan (which I previously had and is "incompatible" with the Even More plans according to the reps I spoke to) is going bye-bye.
[Nexus One General] isjr:
Are you sure I pay $20 for unlimited android internet and $10 for unlimited messages. T-mobile combines these for $30 a month.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
I have it on a family plan and its working just fine.

Hello,

i'm searching for a little program that indicates a Windows Mobile device's activity (loading files etc.). It should be an icon for the upper bar and should flash as even a Desktop-PC's HDD-LED does.

Would someone do create such a program? Is it possible to create it?

Thanks in advance.

I use wireless tether sometimes. When it is running, it works great. The phone doesn't get too hot, and the battery keeps charging. However, about 50% of the time, when I hit "Stop tethering" the phone resets. Does anyone else experience this?

What ROM are you running, what version of Tether are you running, etc.?

Hi guys,

I'm going to flash my phone again soon and I was wondering if there was any application that creates a back-up of other apps and the registry. Because it's kinda tedious re-installing every app everytime I flash my phone.

Put a new file on you SD card and name it Autoinstall, put your cab files in it and after you have flashed and your phone restarts it will install the cab's in that folder.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
I've downloaded the Nav Launcher in the HOPE it would be as simple as that.

Unfortunately not.

I'd have a go at it myself but Iknow as much about coding as I do Nuclear Fusion.....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] enomther:
The maps that Brut.all and TAPP put together over in the G1/dream dev forum should allow for this and work properly.

I haven't tested it (as I have no personal need) ... but it *should* work on N1.

~enom~
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
It does work!

Downloaded Nav Launcher

Remove MAPS via ADB

Reboot

Launch NAV LAUNCHER

install MAPS from Nav Launcher prompt

Off you go!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] laughter95:
What? Have you gotten google navigation to work without data by preloading it? I am in certain need of this function, so please let me know if this is possible.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
yep.

Follow my steps above and enjoy Google Nav outside the US!!

:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] HandOfTheWookie:
Do all the functions work now or is it still half broken?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] yamanote:
So are the no voice and no text problems still there? (that would render it useless...)

Also, is the Google Maps app downloaded from Nav Launcher the same as the one preinstalled on the Nexus (ie with the Labs features like compass, terrain, layer button and scale bar)? I think it's version 3.3.1.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
IT looks like the Maps still have all the layers....etc.

Also I did a quick 3 mile journey yesterday and voice was working fine along with rerouting.

However one thing I didn't check was the next turning function i.e. shows on screen that i need to turn left next.

I'll check it today, but it is FULLY usable.

Latitude and everything works.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DreamCrasher:
can u pls help us with a link? can´t find the right one :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pikaphebat:
sorry. but does it required for the device to be root? and what is adb?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
You need root in order to remove the existing maps app however on the G1 it was possible to simply install this one alongside if you didn't have root. Not sure that's the same for the nexus but I don't see why not.

ADB is Android Debug Bridge and essentially lets you connect your phone to your computer via USB (BUT NOT mount the memory card) and then execute commands on it.

You don't need to use it for this as if you have root, Nav Launcher will uninstall the old one for you and if you don't, you can't uninstall the old one anyway (which is all adb is used for in this instance).

EDIT: By the way, I just installed this on my rooted Nexus (i'm in the UK) and it worked perfectly, even integrates with Car Home correctly! I uninstalled with ADB first cos I forgot Nav Launcher will do this for you, then installed Nav Launcher from the market. Simple and quick and all fully working!

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hellokittyr:
so i don't need to be on 3G and can do google nav outside US ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
You still need 3g to download the map data.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] belfastbob:
Hi Guys

Thanks to Amdathlonuk, followed your instructions and verything seems to be working, will give it a good test tomorrow,
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
You don't need 3G, just a data connection of some kind. GPRS will work but will be a lot slower obviously.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] czm:
I think if you start the navigation e.g. over wifi, it downloads all the basic mapping for the journey so you would not necessarily need a connection for basic navigation - but this means you would not get..

any maps if you deviate from the route

extra layers e.g. satellite images

traffic updates (such as they are)

prob some other stuff

at least this is what it said on the google navigation web help pages. I haven't tested it in anger yet
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
That's kinda cool, I dodn't know that. You just have to hope you don't get lost or hit a diversion :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
Good point, I should have thought about what I was writing there.

Interesting about using the route over Wifi first, might try this on my daughters Pulse to go Geocaching is I've disabled her 3G to stop me getting a MASSIVE bill :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nexusfreak:
Excuse me if i am way off track coz i am brand new to Android but why couldn't you have all the maps on your phone already downloading prior to any journey through wifi? I mean the whole city or country?

Then you wouldn't need any data connection (either 3g or GPRS)??? :confused:

That's what i did with my n95 coz i was on Telstra and it is waaay to expensive to be downloading on the fly.

Is this possible?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Templar87:
Hi all,

just got maps3.3.1-brut-no-root-3.apk installed there. Not tried it out yet but it has the Navigation option so I'm hoping it's working.

I tried uninstalling the google maps that came with the N1, but ./adb uninstall com.google.android.maps didn't work - I think this might be because I haven't rooted the phone? Both the google and hacked versions are living side-by-side at the moment.

For anyone interested, these are the steps I took on Ubuntu 9.10 (I had some difficulty in finding step-by-step instructions myself):

Install the Android SDK

Run sudo <android-sdk>/tools/adb start-server (important that this is run as root, or it won't have the necessary permissions)

Run <android-sdk>/tools/adb devices (your N1 should be listed)

Run <android-sdk>/tools/adb install /path/to/maps3.3.1-brut-no-root-3.apk

You should now have two maps applications installed, one of which allows Navigation.

Sorry if this information is available elsewhere, just I couldn't find it :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
Yeah, you can't uninstall the original maps app without root. Also, you could have saved yourself all that work by simply downloading Nav Launcher from the market on your device, it does all the work for you:

Checks if you have root

If so, uninstalls the other maps app

Installs the modded version instead (root) or alongside (no-root)

Job done!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Templar87:
Ah! Nav Launcher is an app! That penny's finally dropped for me, cheers :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] arifhanid:
Great - works great !!

Only thing is that it adds two icons for Maps under programs.

Is there anyway of removing one of them.

I'm a newbie with Android and have got my phone unrooted.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
You can only remove the original Maps app if you have root, otherwise you just have to put up with having two
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frandavid100:
That's curious, nav doesn't try to install anything here. Do you have to do anything special, or just launch nav launcher?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
Sometimes its a bit finicky. If it won't work try using adb (the full instructions are in the Dream Think Tank thread)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
When in Nav Launcher

Click on Navigate and it will open the download prompt.

You MUST have removed maps via ADB first though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Sorry, could anybody please help me? I have a problem with the adb commands..

At last, there is the message "Failure!" in ADB.

Could anybody help me please? I can't uninstall original maps and I can't install the other maps app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GlenH:
When I try and uninstal the original maps on Cyanogenmod beta4, I get the following error:

Does anyone know a way around this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
There is an easier way.....

Download a Modaco/Cyanogen Kitchen ROM and intentionally remove the maps, then flash (no need to wipe if you don't want to)

Download and install Nav Launcher and it will prompt you to install maps as you won't have any maps on. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chuspitin:
There is an easy easy way...without computer...

goes to terminal emulator in your android terminal and write:

>su

say "yes" to allow

>mount -o remount,rw /system

>cd system/app

>rm Maps.apk

goes to market and download "nav launcher"...

download maps for "nav launcher" and go go go...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BrumBrum74:
Not working. Cannot remove. Read-only file system
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BrumBrum74:

2. I installed Nav Luncher.

3. I installed maps3.3.1-brut-no-root-3

4.voalaa I can navigate.., just have 2 maps icons

One question, why do I have to delete the maps? when it works?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PiCkLeS:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Huey85:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] myhrdak:
everyone tells its working "perfect"!

but you dont even have a next turn arrow,

a delayed voice guide and only streets with no names!

in my opinion its far away from "perfect"

its the best compromise today but not "perfect"

I was wondering if anyone knows now that google maps 3.4 is fully available, does it work outside the U.S. with navigation. As there has not been much chatter about it I presume not but just want to make sure, hopefully someone might sort out a fix for it.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zbraniecki:

Everything seems to work, but according to other users:

* next street name is not appearing on top of the screen

* voice is delayed to the extent that makes the defeats the whole point of it.

* navigation mode doesn't have multitouch. (normal maps do)

except of that, works :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
yes it works as maps version 3.3.1

but not anymore with maps version 3.4
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zbraniecki:
my maps are maps version 4046.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
that's great for you

1. does turn by turn navigation work? (start "nav launcher" and let it give you a route)

2. if yes, are you located in the USA (because then, yes, it works for you)

here it doesn't work - turn by turn only works with maps 3.3.1 here
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PiCkLeS:

I'll second that recommendation...PHM is smooth, uncomplicated, lean (low resource use) and works great for regediting duties, just doesn't have all the extra feature-sets found in Total Commander, etc (which aren't required for reg editing).

Hint...just remember to use it (or whatever editor you choose) to make a backup copy of your reg before any tinkering, and to do a soft-reset after any changes.

I have a G1, running Cyanogenmod (latest build). Whenever i use the physical keyboard it sometimes will randomly input strings of characters. The most common is "/ ~z{"

I first thought this was a software issue, i began by uninstalling all my apps.. Issue was still present.

I then did a factory reset back to Cyanogenmod, issue is still there.

I then booted into the console in the recovery and guess what?! The issue is still there even in console..

Anyone else have this issue? Is it hardware related or software? Its very annoying, I have a new G1 coming from tmobile as warranty but i'd like to know what causes this issue.

Hardware. If you are comfortable you could disassemble it and clean it.

so, I can't set my apps to close when I press the X rather than minimise.

is there another way of setting this? I'm sure that previously there was an option in the standard task manager, but it's not there now!!
