Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone knew why my Weather tab has suddenly started mis-reporting my location as Oldham. I'm actually a few miles away. Up until recently it always found and reported the location of my fairly small home town accurately, and worked great elsewhere too.

Now however, it keeps defaulting to Oldham. It also sometimes says Rochdale, or occasionally Manchester. These are inaccurate too. Just a couple of weeks ago it always got my location right, but now it hardly ever does. It seems to have suddenly lost its ability to pinpoint my location, so simply defaults to a nearby large town or city, despite the fact I'm miles away from them.

Incidentally, the four dots around the GPS logo (next to the name of My Location) no longer 'gyrate' while updating. They used to rotate in a 'wobbly' orbit around the globe logo in the centre, presumably to indicate GPS activity. Now they just spin in a fixed orbit around the central point (GPS still works fine in TomTom7 and Google Maps etc).

I have Location Service enabled, and allow it to gather data on my location at any time. The problem remains the same whether I'm connected via WiFi or HSDPA, or both.

Does My Location actually use GPS, or just cell towers? Like I said, it worked fine up until recently. I know people have had various problems with the Weather tab, but I can't find anyone with this exact problem on here. Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks,

Rob.
[HD2 General] elyl:
Mate, the GPS is the least of your worries. If Oldham is the nearest place of interest to you, you should move home! ;)
[HD2 General] HTC_Junglist:
lol

But on a serious note, weather worked fine for me, until one day I did a hard reset.

Now I have not once had the correct location at home.

Weird ay?
[HD2 General] cozzykim:
I suspect that your weather location is tied to your local cell.

GF is on t-mob and I'm on O2, our HD2s regularly report our local weather location as being in different places even though we're both on the same sofa, my guess is that it depends on which cell signal is strongest, maybe your local one is temporarily down?
[HD2 General] RH Photography:
That's my point; Oldham ISN'T my nearest town, but the damn phone keeps sticking it on my Weather tab anyway. My phone has never even been to Oldham!
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
My Desk in work officially sits between Brockworth and Hucclecoat. I get different locations at each side of my desk. It does sound like its a cell tower problem to me.
[HD2 General] anubis1126:
Yup depending where i am in town i get either north lincolnshire or appleby its very annoying
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
it doesn't use gps...uses information from the cell tower your phone is currently using. If that cell tower is labelled Oldham, then that's what you'll get.
[HD2 General] Hoodeddeathman:
I get saddleworth most of the time. I got tameside once which would be better
[HD2 General] nokiaman1978:
if i am getting hsdpa signal it's correct if i get 3g signal it reports wrong location.
[HD2 General] jakem:
Same here. I often get Poplar when I'm travelling through Hackney.
[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
I experienced the same problem. It's weird that when I use Wifi, the location is about 30 miles away from where I am:(. But using 3g, it points to a couple miles away which is acceptable:)
[HD2 General] wolfee:
here is one for you.. lmao

If I am upstairs at my computer I get Richmond, if I am in the guest room dirrectly below my desk down stairs, im in Preston. now if I force it to update, im in Smithfield until I get back to my computer and wait 15 minutes were I am once again, back in Richmond...
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
at leasts yours works, my location hasnt worked in the 2 months i had the hd2 works fine on my hero lolol
[HD2 General] RH Photography:
Funny, it's the other way round for me - it's generally accurate if I'm getting a 3G connection, but when it's HSDPA (most of the time) it usually shows up wrong (I'm on T-Mobile).

Anyway, thanks all for the replies. Nice to know it isn't a fault on my handset at least. Doesn't sound like there's much we can do about it though.

Cheers,

Rob.
[HD2 General] elyl:
It'll depend on which cell it's connecting to then. It's probably connecting to an H-enabled tower which is in Glamorous Oldham, and the fallback cell is just 3G/GPRS and closer to home.
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
i have the same issue, somethings its ok and recognises my location as swindon but in my house it says im in wroughton which is a small village about 5 miles away.
[HD2 General] lonelykatana:
I had a problem like this, but mine was 100 or so miles out.

I found out it was to do with where my time settings were.

I chose manchester (closest major city [and home city for me]) for my time.

So it made the weather show manchester as my location.

now i've changed the time to my location, its the same in weather.

dont know how much use that is to you, worked for me though.
[Nexus One General] SiNJiN76:
It happens with both the stock browser and Dolphin. Maybe I'm not using it correctly, but everytime I long press the home button to bring up the active apps and select the browser, I'm expecting to see the last page/position I was on. Well, the annoying thing is that both browsers go back one page. how do I stop this? Not sure if it happens all the time.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I think this is an Android bug. It happens frequently if you launch a webpage from another program (like the News Widget) and then long press to go back to the browser.

Try going to home and launching the browser via home screen icon or all programs icon.
[Nexus One General] SiNJiN76:
Hey. That works! Thanks. I knew that it didn't happen all the time. Couldn't figure it out tho. LoL. Thanks for the quick reply! I'm gonna have to reset my habit now.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] raynda:
Hi!

Hopefully I haven't missed a thread somewhere here that has already addressed this, but I wanted to make a central thread for non-Sense users.

I love Helix, but I miss certain Sense widgets like Messaging, Mail, Music, and Friendstream. I've noticed a lot of people swear by Helix, so I'd love to know what kind of little gems Helix users have found to make it even more functional than Sense.

If anyone would like to post links or upload some apks and better yet, post some screenshots, that would be so awesome. I'm getting tired of switching back and forth between launchers because one has something the other doesn't.

If we all share what we use and what we know, maybe we can put together an update.zip with widget apks for use with Helix that rivals the Sense package.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CarbonKang:
I would like to know this too. I would love to have my clock widgets... :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tzbf2006:
Here is what I use:

1. Beautiful Widgets -> Not free

2. Smooth Calendars -> Free
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] raynda:
http://androidsocialmedia.com/general/my-favorite-free-android-widgets

I found this when I googled android widgets, thought it might be useful.

A big thing that hit me here is that finding these kinds of articles and screenshots can give me some great ideas on how to set up my home pages.

Exciting stuff!

can we give password to messages (inbox)
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
what i do is set my phone to lock after 1min. Also useful if phone getx stolen, as they have to hard reset to use it.

Start-settings-lock i think.

[HD2 General] RH Photography:
Hi,

Does anyone know how to remove the Volume icon from the top bar? It seems fairly useless sitting up there, since clicking anywhere on that right hand side just brings up Notifications. Can it be removed?

Thanks,

Rob.
[HD2 General] Manoli87:
Im also wanting to know this..

Also, how do you get rid of the 'abc' icon?
[HD2 General] tommy96814:
only way for me to run album is to close everything except my im messenger. i guess is either a bug or is eating all the ram because of all the pictures on it.

using energy rom so does it utilize 448 or 576 ram?

not a deal breaker but is kind of annoying because the OTHER built in picture viewer is even slower.
[Networking] fiftybucks:
I have an HTC TP2 Rhodium with WM 6.5.

I have a bluetooth device.. GPS Receiver that came design so that no bluetooth pass key is required... OR Accepted. I can 'see' the device when i use the 'Add Device' but cannot get past the pairing... as there is no 'Blank' empty code accepted.

This problem was 'bypassed' or work around in WM 5 and WM 6. but WM 6.5 requires a pairing Passkey.

I will try about anything!!

thanks in advance
[Networking] mapleman321:
have you tried turning off "authorization required" on the bluetooth settings? or just trying 0000 or 1234 for the passcode?

good luck
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcus Geezer:
I need to send regular texts to the same group of people every week (for 5-a-side footy) and want to set up what I would call a group. I can't seem to find anyway to set up a group in my contacts and just wondered if someone could point me in the right direction?

have a look at handcent in market.. great text app.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcus Geezer:
Thanks for that I'll have a look.

However first I want to see if I can create a group using the standard contacts app and then use the standard sms app to insert a group to send an sms to?

Can I do this?
[Desire General] swampy_donkey:
Hi all!

I'm loving the Desire so far, except for this one little thing...

I have all the update schedules for updates to friend stream, news, email, facebook, twitter etc etc all set to the most frequent level, but they very very rarely update.

I am on T-Mobile and I have 4 or 5 bar HSDPA connection most of the time.

Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
[Desire General] snapilica2003:
I'm in a somewhat similar situation:

*Friend stream (Facebook and Flickr) and weather update as per set schedule but it doesn't update the widget also, only when you look at it for a few seconds.

*Mail works perfectly and updates "push" mode, there's no schedule for that

*News is the one that never syncs no matter what time I set it to.

Anyone else?
[Desire General] swampy_donkey:
I've double checked all my settings and they seem to be fine, Hotmail is set up properly. Could this have anything to do with killing the apps using advanced app killer?
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
I used to have this problem but it seems to have fixed itself on the update to .11 (T-Mobile)
[Desire General] Guitarfreak26:
Mine doesnt update either, unbranded.. running orange.. on latest update! :(
[Desire General] swampy_donkey:
It's one of the main reasons I bought the phone and it just doesnt do it, how frustrating!
[Desire General] swampy_donkey:
I added the email widget to the main desktop, seems to work better now.
[Desire General] williap:
Friendstream and email seem to work fine with mine but I also have the same problem with the news widget.

It never seems to update even when I set it to after every 30mins :(

Perhaps HTC will release an update to fix shortly :)
[Desire General] dpk:
I think it is because you are using an app killer, try adding them to the ignore list, and see if that helps?
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] hurka11:
Hi. I instaled app. but there is no shortcut at programs. How or where can i put the shortcut or the exe file?
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] ramsuresh4:
Dear friend.

I am not a Techy person. But, I think you can do this.

Put .exe file or shortcut file in windows/startmenu/programs. Then it will be found in Startmenu / programs.

SIRESH, INDIA.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] hurka11:
thank you.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] mirost1:
Just find the exe file, click on Copy, then go to windows/startmenu/programs and click Paste Shortcut, after that you can rename it how you want it and it will be in programs.
[HD2 General] bogdatov:
When I'm on "Documents" tab it says - "SD card is full or missing"

Any way around it ?
[HD2 General] bogdatov:
Come on ... nobody has this problem ?!!!
[HD2 General] XerBom:
I had that problem too and I wish I could give you a way to fix it, but I had to perform a hard reset after WMWifiRouter screwed my WiFi up. Your post reminded me about the problem with the documents tab and I just checked it... turns out the hard reset also fixed this issue for me.

I'll let you know if it comes back and we can work out a fix that doesn't involve resetting everything on the phone.
[HD2 General] bogdatov:
I actually performed hard reset (because of a different issue). Unfortunately it did not fix Documents tab problem
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
are you using a ram disk at all? that is known to mess with the docs tab.
[HD2 General] bogdatov:
I do not even know what is RAM disk on HD2. No, I do not use special RAM disk apps and my ROM is US T-Mobile HD2 stock ROM
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hmm no clue then, sorry. Think if it were me i'd try copy off all the files and folders onto the pc then format the sd card and copy everything back, just to see.
[HD2 General] joshzzz2001:
Did you remove the original SD card that came with it? Or, replace it with another one? I know it's in the manual that once you do it, the SD card may not work anymore, or something like that. Maybe that's the cause, I'm just guessing since I don't have this kind of problem.
[HD2 General] bogdatov:
microSD card came with T-Mobile Hd2 (US version) already inserted. Did not touch it
[HD2 General] HC4Life:
I have this problem too with my Touch HD.

I can't read my documents. It says: "SD card is full or missing".

Any help. Please...:(
[HD2 General] dmonium:
I've fixed this problem

I had this problem too

I've fixed this problem thus

I backed up all info the storage Card and I made a complete format the storage card complete under windows, after I copied all info into storage card again, and this operation fixed this problem :o

Dmonium

Excuse :me if my english is so bad
[HD2 General] bogdatov:
Did exactly same thing but it did not fix it for me :(
[HD2 General] daemonfly:
Format worked for me, although I'm pretty sure the SD card was fine, and was gonna compare the pre-format files to post-format and see if I accidentally deleted anything that would cause this. Was in a hurry though, and never ended up comparing.

Formatted(full) SD card on PC, then put in phone and formatted there to get the stock files back on. Then copied everything else over (TF movies, and my downloads, etc..). Worked fine after that.
[HD2 General] lutin593:
Hi

I had the same problem and quicikly solved this issue:

Go to: \Carte de stockage or Storage card\Application Data\HTC\databases\DocExp

And delete 2 files: postlist.DB & value.DB

It worked for me, hope the same for you
[HD2 General] mdean11:
Installing a network plugin caused the issue on mine, when I unistalled it worked again
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
mdean, do you happen to have the name or the cab handy, so I can take a peek at it for a possible connection to the cause? Thanks!
[HD2 General] mdean11:
I tried 3 different ones, all caused the problem - generic network plugin, htc network plugin, and schnaps network plugin
[HD2 General] dioooi:
SD Card is full or Missing - SOLVED

1. Delete the folder - Storage card\Application Data

2. Tab again the document tab - wait re-loading until finish searching all documents

3. Successful!:)
[HD2 General] trizzle21:
thanks dude i was having the same problem, when i enabled shared network folder in touch tool, it stop working but i went back and disabled it and now working again.
[HD2 General] shirreer:
Glad you all figured it out... I had this problem 3 weeks ago and immediately after enabling and setting up the network plugin with Touch Tools 1.4. Luckily, I didn't have to look for the cause since the last thing I did was install & use the network plugin!

So, for future reference.........

Also, your facebook pictures in htc album's facebook tab will stop showing up if you manually assign a "CacheSize" value other than 0 to HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS.

Be advised!

I just wondered if anyone else was having issues with the camera and photo gallery in 2.1 ROMS ?

I am having the same issues with Fresh, DC and RegaW

I'm also getting random Sense crashes.

I realise we are all playing with fire with these ROMS based on a leak, but I just wondered if this was a common issue or just mine ?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
This is a common issue,

Thanks to Darch who told me, when you press the camera button, it looks for com.andriod.camera (the android camera) and not the one we want which is com.htc.camera.

We are working on fixing that atm.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] grifforama:
Thanks for the update
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] grifforama:
OK, I'm confused.

Even if I'm not presing the camera button from within the photo app, the photo app just keeps quitting on me ? Is is still because of this issue ?

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
you have to remember that all of these 2.1 roms are based on the eris or the sprint "beta" leak...it is not a final. if you want 100% stability you will have to wait until sprint gets off their asses and releases it finally. and from what im hearing it could be next month all the way into the summertime before it happens.

[Legend General] yrreP:
Can I ask what ROM version you are using?

I can see them using 1.23.405.1.

If you meant QikTalk, I can see that. Ustream is there too.
[Legend General] Jarune:
the market is country dependent. This means if the app developer didn't turn on some checkboxes or there is some other issue with the app it won't show up on the market.

Next to that there are some strange things going on with apps on the legend. For example all barcode camera apps are not to find in the market but can be downloaded with an APK. A popular app "Layar" is nowhere to be found and doesn;t work with APK install. Layar and HTC claims is some camera issue. The desire has no issue while having the same camera....

There are someother examples of Apps not showing up. I think and hope that this is an issue because the Legend didn;t have a worldwide release like the Desire and App developers and publishers are not yet get catching up. Really hoping a rom update from HTC or XDA :) will fix many minor problems.
[Legend General] viskas:
here are the info

ciao!

I am using the same rom, 1.23.405.1.

I can't find qik (for video streaming), bambuser (same purpose), nor even ustream (the application to stream your videos, non to view other people streaming).

Hey guys got some questions concerning BT.

I have noticed that bluetooth doesnt always reconnect when it should. Or am i missing something here.

I have my phone paired with my stereo receiver in my car.

- I get in my car and turn on bluetooth. After about a minute my phone pairs with my car and everything is good. I can do calls, stream mp3's via BT and use Pandora as well. Now i stop at the gas station to get gas or whatever. I shut the car of there for breaking the bluetooth connection. Bluetooth is still enabled on my android. However when i start the car back up the phone will not connect to the bluetooth in the car unless i turn bluetooth off then on again.

I'm assuming this is do to some time out count in the BT stack? is there a way to edit something in order to make this auto connect? Any one with greater knowledge on the subject school me a little bit here?

Thanks!
