Yesterday I experienced issue 5715 (just looked it up) pretty badly. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5715

I switched on my GPS in a city 300 Miles away from where it was last on, then waited for 1 hour with the phone by a window.... No GPS fix. All it sees is one or two satellites. (as seen by 'GPS status').

Later in the evening I had to walk to a new location thats about 0.5 Miles away...No GPS fix in the open! Restarted my phone as I knew this had worked before (many times). Unfortunately it still didnt work. 'GPS Status' showed 3 connected/4 found and a fix 200+ Miles away with a ground speed of 271MPH, Was funny looking at my location (blue dot) flying across the map so fast while I was stationary. (I was standing at the intersection of two streets, no tall buildings or obstructions anywhere)

I finally managed to find the location by just looking at the map.

Later that night I restarted the phone one more time and the GPS is working fine. (6 connected/ 6 found)

Please "star" the issue linked above if you've experienced this too.

If anyone knows if this is fixed with the newer/custom ROMS please let me know.

Thanks.

I had the same problem last year when I flew from Jersey to Oregon. After I arrived, I went to navigate with my Touch HD (Windows Mobile 6.5) and the map put me in Michigan traveling at 600mph. I chocked it up to a flaky custom ROM.

I wonder if theres a common link here, in that its not the software, but in fact the GPS's ephemera data that needs to be purged and/or updated?

Later that day I ran the satellite update software, rebooted a few times, and all was well again.
[Nexus One General] mark.m.moran:
I'm in Dublin, Ireland and for some reason in both Maps and Google Earth it says I'm somewhere near to Alicante in Spain!!

I installed Secure Wave today and hit the track button on the site and guess what, it said Alicante as well!!

How can it be this wrong guys?

Cheers,

M

+1 for a GPS reset/Clear data app.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I remember the GPS on my N95 thinking I was doing about 200mph when I was in my house before, wonder if it's more a general GPS glitch than the N1's fault.
[Nexus One General] rvinny:
I had this problem before the update. Haven't seen it since. I'm not saying they are related, I'm just putting it out there.

I did notice a couple of things (that could be unrelated or user error) - 1. if I had a Google Nav or directions course mapped, exited the Maps app and then went back in, my location would sometimes jump from the actual to the cached Nav starting point (make sense?) 2. If I left the GPS widget enabled, I had much better performance in Google Maps (duh! - but I mean no glitches in showing my location).

My pocket theory was it had to do with the assisted GPS portion - the checkbox that says 'use wireless networks - location determined by WiFi and mobile networks'. If any of those networks are reporting a bad location (IP source or Phase 1 location on a mobile tower) - maybe that is what's throwing the maps off? The thing is, the iPhone uses the same location enhancements (Skyhook plug in) and doesn't exhibit the problem, so who knows.
[Nexus One General] britoso:
I suspected this, so I turned off the "use wireless networks" option before rebooting. Didn't help, The GPS was still lost.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Are you actually obtaining a lock (solid GPS icon rather than flashing)?
[Nexus One General] britoso:
Didn't check that (think it was flashing), however 'Gps Status' reported a "fix" after the first reboot and it was wrong. Showed 3 connected/4 found.

Waited for atleast 15 minutes in the open...freezing.
[Nexus One General] noodles12:
anyone found a work-a-round or fix for this problem? Trying to use my NBA league pass but says it shows I'm in Espoo:eek: ( no idea where it is) instead of in the US.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
I am wondering if there has been a build.prop file for cyan4.2.14.1 that will enable the installation of HtcMusic and will not crash Google Voice? Thanks for the help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
No, I use the web for google voice (voice.google.com) if I want HTCMusic.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
This was something I didn't want to hear... haha thanks man.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
No problem, the web version isn't that bad. I made a shortcut on the desktop with the GV icon, so it kinda cushions the blow a bit.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
Lol I like your style of thinking.

EDIT: So I found a build.prop that'll work on cyan and allow GV and HTCmusic to install and both work properly. I'm not sure whatelse it'll break.. but we'll find out. I stole this from BlueMagic1.4

You'll want to remove the .txt and push it to /system

The GV is build 0.2. I haven't tested the latest.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] finesta101:
is there or can someone create an application for the Blackboard used for school. I know the iphone has a similar app. Willing to donate for this app if it is made possible.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jz9833:
i just go to the blackboard websites in my browser. it works perfectly.

Is there a Rom with windows mobile (6.5) for this phone? I want to get rid of Android. Which ROM is good to use?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkonpt:
just send the phone down the toilet, is the same thing as putting windows mobile on it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hone2009:
afaik there are no touchscreen drivers for winmo. otherwise it'd work. but i don't really see, why someone should want sth. like that!?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hol17:
Why buy an Android OS phone if you want Windows Mobile on it?

Your sense =/= sense
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] grox:
Because on this phone Bluetooth is not working and I want to use tomtom navigator. Thats why I want to delete Android and punt WM 6.5 in it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hol17:
Why would you think it's the OS and not the ROM or phone itself?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] grox:
is there a possibilty to install TomTom? Or another (Offline!) navigator???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dadme:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darvo:
Copilot live works good.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] doaneramma:
iGO

There is also iGO 8. I just installed it lastnight and it looks like its going to run very well. Search around, the files are out there in Google-land.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Google Maps (as of Android 1.6) already has navigation but you have to be online for it obviously. I don't think there's enough memory short of the SD card to store a complete mapping solution. And Google Map's API Licensing restriction prevents 3rd party apps/devices to provide turn-by-turn direction via the phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonDizzurp:
android is the greatest OS for a phone, ever

windows mobile is one of the worst mobile OS's ever..

use ndrive, its an amazing software.

igo8 is okay, not to my liking though

sygic is great but seems a little sluggish, and its more geared towards europeans rather than north americans

copilot is suposed to be a good one, i havnt tried it though
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] phantommusik:
WinMo?

This is definitely the first I've seen of this request... WinMo users are scrambling to get Android on their phones... but never to get rid of Android... lol. I definitely agree that flushing the phone would get the same thing done though. As far as GPS navigation I use Google. 4.0 works great for me! But then again, I'm in the US. I think there is a way to activate international functionality on Google Maps but I don't know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] grox:
:) it's for a collegue of mine, I have an Diamond2, of which I'm very happy with.

But she bought this phone to have navigation (offline). But after buying she realised there is no tomtom for Android yet, so my idea was to install a new rom with WM.

I will look for these programs, and test them offline. So there is no map i can install on a SD and navigate with the internal GPS? Because she doesn't have internet on her device.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
I can confirm this. iGO works very well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
we already mentioned iGO. It is a complete offline software for navigation.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
The problem with that idea is that Windows Mobile is only software, there's next to no chance that said WinMo Rom is gona have the driver support for all the hardware used in the android intended device which could leave you back to square one if you ever managed it but still couldn't hook up the tomtom, nor able to utilize the SD card for storage.

Also since WinMo is not open source, chances of making drivers for it is much harder than someone making drivers for android given the source.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonDizzurp:
every app i mentioned has offline maps you can store on your SD card..

if you want something like tomtom then use sygic, its pretty much the same thing..

from all the satnavs i used garmin mobile xt is by far the best one ever...but its not for android..atleast not yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonDizzurp:
yea exactly, its very hard to use windows mobile on a device thats not meant for it

whereas its much easier to port android into a different device due to open source (android on the samsung i900 omnia for example)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] roner:
It's a joke? Windows Mobile? :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xabierd:
Sygic also works correctly
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bigballa:
if u have a magic

and donut

then google navigation is FREE!

i cant believe u want a closed source os on an open source phone
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mouse2007:
They want users to WM HTC Android understand the port is finished although not yet perfect, but the owner of the phone with Android OS wanted to destroy the nerves:D with WM hear it first ... what I lack in this OS on earth?:(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] digitaljeff:
google nav doesnt work outside the US without a hack, and even at that its not stable...

however to the OP ... you made my most EPIC FAIL of the day... ty for that, tis good to get some humour once in ahwile..

oh and installing WinMO on an Android phone.. no, just no, not going to happen, will never happen...however thanks for the chuckles....

if you really need a good GPS just go buy a tomtom 1 there under 100 bucks....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] digitaljeff:
is it just me who doesnt understand this post?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ajclai08:
I have a windows mobile phone and flashed linux lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] unfnknblvbl:
...if you have a constant data connection and don't mind paying for all the data that Google Maps is going to eat up, streaming the map images from its servers...

I don't know how you crazy Americans go with mobile data, but down here in the land of Kangaroos and spiders the size of your head, mobile data's pretty expensive - and especially so on phone plans for some reason.

I don't know about WinMo on the Magic (I wouldn't go there, for one), but what about other OSes? I'd give Maemo/MeeGo or whatever it's being called now a go for ****s & giggles.

your comment didnt help much either

but anyway i downloaded your apps..

thats not funny is pretty cool..i could put that to good use:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Shalamar67:
Troll or for real?

Unless the orginal post was a troll or a joke I suggest your collegue sells her

android phone (which "does not have internet") and buys a dedicated gps navigator instead or a windows mobile phone if that's what she wants.

An Android phone with no internet access is not really an android phone in my opinion.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruimoura:
Sygic, Copilot Live, Ndrive, iGo (all with offline navigation) ... yeah, you are really out of options with GPS software.

Why dont you people try to loose 5 minutes searching on google before making dumb questions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aeikozz:
Windows Mobile on a Magic Phone?

What you think that's wrong?

I just like knowning i'm going to get headaches versus the anxiety of wondering when the headaches are going to come.

You wanna know what is wrong?

A phone plan for more than 50$.

That's wrong.
[Nexus One General] hurrycaine3000:
I've been trying to figure this out on my own but keep coming up short. I want to root so that I can play around more with my phone, and use some of the apps and tweeks xdaer's are working on, but am not ready to flash a new ROM yet. I've been reading up on how to root, but it seems like any way I've found has me changing the recovery image, and or ROM. Can I root and still stay mostly stock, so that until I decide to flash a new ROM I still get OEM updates?
[Nexus One General] PhantomRampage:
It's possible to root your N1 withouht flashing a custom ROM/recovery and as long as you keep your recovery stock you should still receive OTA updates.

You should consider flashing a custom ROM though; You'll get great new features that your stock phone wouldn't have (such as wired tethering or using all your ram instead of half) PLUS OTA updates since the devs usually patch them into their roms after google releases them officially
[Nexus One General] jz9833:
Exactly. OTAs take a week or so for everyone to get them. Why wait for this? Just get a custom rom which will have it built in the day it comes out (if not before hand).

Also I'm pretty sure there will be a manual way to force the update like there was last time.
[Nexus One General] PhantomRampage:
That's a good point too ^

When an OTA update is released they get sent out to phones throughout the week, not all at once.

So when this happens a dev will usually get their hands on it and patch it into their roms, that way you can have it asap instead of waiting till you get your notification
[Nexus One General] hurrycaine3000:
So where can I find the best way to get this done. I've found a few ways to root it seems, and all are a little different. and they seem to have different software being used to get the same result.
[Nexus One General] jz9833:
http://androidandme.com/2010/01/hacks/video-how-to-unlock-and-root-a-nexus-one/

Thats how i did it. It was pretty easy.
[Nexus One General] suffix642:
whenever the custom rom is updated u have to flash again right? so u lose all ur customization (not the stuff u can backup) every time.. isn't that frustrating?
[Nexus One General] JJackson9995:
Titanium Backup can save settings as well as apps. Just do the Batch option that basically backs up EVERYTHING. I'm pretty sure that's what you're worrying about.
[Nexus One General] hurrycaine3000:
Just made the jump yesterday. Worth it so far. Seems way faster and smoother in every way. Latest radio update, ROM, and overclocked-undervolted kernel. Worth a litlle time to recustomize.
[HD2 General] robsterr:
Hello dear HTC Leo Community

i'm facing a really annoying problem and so far the google results didn0t give me an answer.

Does anybode has the same problem or had the same Problem and know how to fix it?

The Thumbnails in my HTC Album are shown very very very crappy

i still have the original rom installed.

if i click on the pictures the quality in fullscreen is normal but all my thumbs are really ****ed up

would be glad if someone knows whats to do i already searched the registry but ididn't found something which is pointing on this setting

thanks in advance

cheers rob
[HD2 General] poceh:
You must install the official camera patch provided by HTC on their site. It will fix the thumbnail preview as well.
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
Or update your ROM to the latest one as this includes the hotfixes...
[HD2 General] robsterr:
i now installed the hotfix and it didn't work the thumbnails in my htc album are still the same

has anybody eventually the correct link with the file i'm not sure if i picked the right one.

and another question, when i update my rom what happens woth the software like cookie home tab or these things?

thanks and cheers

rob
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
When flashing a new ROM, stock or otherwise, it'll wipe all programs/apps on the device so either back them up or remember how you set it up in the first place
[HD2 General] robsterr:
so i don't want to flash the rom ;)

cuz most of the apps i isntalled on the storage card but all shortcuts will be gone

the rest i yould easily backup

can you please post the link to the correct htc album patch? i didn't found it

would be very nice

thank you and cheers

rob
[HD2 General] bRkiX:
hotfix does not correct old thumbnails.

after hotfix, all new thumbnails will look perfect.

Hotfix is out 3 months now, why did you not applyed it till now?
[HD2 General] Mano75:
Hi!

Does this also fix the crappy quality of the pictures in picture contacts?

The faces have a very poor quality (pixellation, not defined) although the source pictures have an excellent quality and are big.

Thanks!
[HD2 General] robsterr:
because i've got the phone only 2 weeks ;)

but thanks for the information then i clearly will aplly the patch again

thanks for the information =)

cheerio

ps: can i change the setting that i can switch the musicsongs with the vol up and down buttons?

all the time when i want to switch song i have to get the phone out my cover then unlock and then go to the music tab

and another issue

is it possible to configure the device, so it wont stop the song playing when you disconnect the jack?
[HD2 General] robsterr:
hello community

i now applied the patch

and the pictures seems to be a little bit better, but still not shown absolute correct in the thumnails

before it was really poor in quality means you could saw some pixels and no clean transition

now i can remark some stripe pixels its really weird but i will keep an eye on it ;)

thanks anyway
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Your old thumbnails will remain like that, new ones wont. I learnt that yesterday!

I have created a cab for HTC YouTube Application version 2.6.20111727.00 from latest Touch Pro 2 build but when i try to install it i get the message installation was unsuccessfull. Why is that? I created the cab using WinCE CAB Manager.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] killer8nl:
maybe it needs certs to be installed.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Diagrafeas:
And how can i do that?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Haxxler:
Got the same problem and i have certs installed.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] mccune:
I'm having the same problem creating a CAB for my WM6.1 ROM.

The main reason why I want this v2.6.x version to work is that it starts YouTube movies right after you hit a link inside Opera. The 2.5 version CAB does work on my TouchPro2 but does not open the YouTube link. Instead it opens the program and I have to search for a video to view it.

What did I find out so far?

The following file causes the install problem: ProtocolHandler.dll

After you remove this file from the CAB it installs just fine. But the program still doesn't run on my device.

I manually imported all retificates and when I try to start YouTube it shows: " 'YouTube' is not a valid Pocket PC application."
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Diagrafeas:
I copied the files myself to the phone memory and imported the registry entries but when i tried to open the *.exe i got the same message.

Where did you find the version 2.5 cab?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] mccune:
I created it myself as it is part of the User Customization of my Cosmik Debris ROM.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Diagrafeas:
Could you upload it?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] mccune:
Here you go....
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Diagrafeas:
How can i sign the YouTube.exe with another certificate or none for that matter? Or how can i import HTC certificate?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] mccune:
On 2.6 I used the .CER files from a Kitchen I use. I justed put them on my device and opened them using TotalCommander.

For 2.5 this probably is not nescacary for me since the files are from the Kitchen I use for my ROM. I do have to say that I only use optimized CAB's that work with my Cosmik Derbis ROM. Reason is that my ROM is compressed and stript from a lot of stuff I never use. Therefore I can not guarantee that the CAB wil work on other WVGA devices.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Arde:
Is this a right place for youtube application, XPERIA X1 ROM Development !!??
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] mccune:
No it's not...
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] sancho1234:
How can I open a special YouTube video (with url) with the original HTC YouTube Player 2.6? What is the url parameter? How can I add the "?v=xxx" parameter to the player?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Diagrafeas:
I used a program called Unsigner (and batchUnsign) to remove the certificates from all files but i still get the message:

''The file 'YouTube' cannot be opened.

Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate,

or one of its components cannot be found.

If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.''

So i believe that something is missing from my ROM.

Are any other files needed?

... with arrows if possible (not asking for much am i lol:P)

Does anyone have this at all please? It's for the TG01 but i'm told it's from the Blackstone or used manily for it? Can someone direct me or maybe even upload a cab file at all?

I'm totally desperate for it. My stubby fingers simply can't use the Toshiba's tiny little own keyboad and as you probably know, the silly thing doesn't have stylus capabilities so this is my only option.

Many, many, many thanks in advance if you can help out on this :)

TSS :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TheShowStopper:
P.S. Please correct me if i'm wrong about needing the VGA version. I'm only going by what i'm scoured the site for and what has worked with the keyboard types of cab's that i've come accross. Thanks!

Hi all,

anyone know how to send multi sms massages?

i mean send a massage to couple of contacts at the same time.

is there a build option?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] FloridaK:
If using the default messaging app, rather than typing a name in the To: field, press menu, then people you'll see all your contacts and you can put a tick by all the ones you want included, hit OK and you should be ready to go.

After you type a name in the To field you can also just type another name.
