Compass?

Is there a way to get compass to accurately indicate the direction you are traveling?

TIA,

jjjjayd13,:confused:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bob2300nx:
Yes it is. You hit menu and then navigate. Or you can download NavLauncher by mad cow solutions from the market. Its the samething but you can build a favorites list and its faster launching navigation vs maps then navigation.

In google maps, when I hit MENU i have....

Not easy

It's not easy to upload a batch of address to Google. This is the only problem I have with google. However there are alot of ways to get around it. I have removed my Sprint Nav from my phone.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] R2D2-AKU2:
Is it true that Google nav doesn't work at all when there is no cell coverage? With Sprint nav, as long as you've already downloaded the route and don't stray from the route as you're driving, if you lose cell signal it will continue to give you commands and simple arrows indicating the direction of the next turn. Of course if you stray off the directions you're screwed because It can't download a new route, but at least it works somewhat.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chococrazy:
Hit directions then put in the address you want to go to then hit navigate.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
I gotta say that I was in Atlanta 2 weeks ago and it was probably the most horrible experience of my life.....

Google maps would take me one direction and bring me back another.

On the interstate, in the far left lanes it would tell me I was on a road parallel to the interstate and give me random directions to turn.

Given any moron knows if they are where the GPS thinks they are, but it spitting out "Turn Left to merge on to I-285 in 500 feet" when I was already on 285 got a little bit.....annoying at the least.

Switched over to Sprint Nav after I got fed up and it was flawless.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ziggy682:
Sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes it doesn't. I'm thinking it's something in our 2.1 ROMs being buggy. I don't believe it's actually a problem with Google Maps.

Hi all,

I have a GW620 since a few days.

I bought an unlock code, since it was locked to the Orange France network.

I typed in the unlock code, and everything went well.

I was able to use the phone, send/receive sms etc...

Then I rooted the phone.

Everything was still ok, i received a call, i was able to send SMSes, ...

Today, I wasn't able to send SMSes anymore, nor calling, receiving calls or SMSes...

I though I'd flash the phone with an original firmware, and that would solve the problem.

After flashing, my IMEI appears to be 123456789012347, instead of my real IMEI...

I don't know if my IMEI was messed up before, but I definately is now, and I'm still not able to make any call or SMS...

When manually connecting to a network, I get error message:

"Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network"

I tried 2G/3G networking, airplane on/off, rebooting, factory resetting, all kinds of stuff...

I'm pretty desperate. Any ideas?

[Desire General] cez10:
not sure if i get the meaning of push emails but heres a little note from wiki

ahh ok i know what it means now :D then yeah it does update real time, but it obviously requires internet connection all the time which drains the battery way too fast :(
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
MSN Messenger - Meebo/Ebuddy/100s of others

Remote Desktop - A few I have seen but can't comment on

FTP - AndFTP

Internet Explorer - Chrome/Opera

Slingplayer - http://gizmodo.com/5496896/slingpla...ing-this-summer-will-stream-over-wi+fi-and-3g

Coreplayer - Quite a few in the market

Office - Multiple Office Apps

Skype - Skype Light/Fring

Wifi Router - Wireless tether for root users

Hotmail - I have no idea, Hotmail is (IMO) inferior to googlemail. It is possible though.

[G1 Android Development] farmatito:
Hi,

i'm trying to build my own kernel for the G1 to forward port the msm_camera working in cm-4.2.15.1 kernel 2.6.29.6 to a 2.6.33.2 kernel. So far I've got everything working:

wifi, bt etc. But after several days and attempts I'm not able to get the camera

working in the 2.6.29.6 kernel so no forward porting is possible. I've tried all possible cm-kernel branches and android-git branches,

so I'm starting to suspect that I'm overlooking something stupid and obvious.

I've got the best results so far by porting the msm_camera form android-2.6.29-donut kernel to the cm-* sources in the sense that the camera and camcorder apps start and seem to work but no previews are displayed and pictures or videos could be taken.

Any hints in the right direction are appreciated as this is driving me mad.

Attached there are dmesg and logcat.

Method used is:

1) download the sources (e.g. form cyanogen github)

2) take config.gz form working 4.2.15.1 rom

3) build the kernel

4) generate a new boot image

5) boot the new boot image on the the fly:

fastboot boot new_boot.img

6) camera does not work !!@@@

Thanks in advance for your help.
[G1 Android Development] st0kes:
You haven't told us if this is eclair or donut, I suspect eclair as there are some hoops to jump through to get the camera working? Btw camcorder is a different story entirely and doesn't work at all on 2.x

Before anyone goes into one explaining it, are you working on android 1.6 or 2.x?
[G1 Android Development] farmatito:
I'm working on "donut with some eclair bits" cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1.

At this point I've tried all source branches form cyanogen's git:

android-2.6.29-donut

android-2.6.29-eclair

android-2.6.33-msm

and from android's git:

android-msm-2.6.29

android-msm-2.6.29-donut

android-msm-2.6.32

and various permutations of them 8-/

The result is basically the same:

1) the camera app doesn't start

2) the camera app starts but no preview is shown and no photos

can be taken.
[G1 Android Development] st0kes:
You're using CM sources, have you also got the binaries from HTC for Android 1.6 on the G1?

from here:

http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html

Reference here (the bit about unzip-files.sh): http://source.android.com/documentation/building-for-dream

Shoot me down if I am getting this completely wrong.

Here is the post that helped me get the camera working on eclair, I don't think its relevant to you but may help.

Just to share the info with others, the correct source revision

Hi all, guys. Hope I didn't make a stupid request, but I searched over the net and the XDA forums, but I didn't find them.

What I'm looking for, are the ITALIAN 0410.mui files. My aim is renaming the 0410.mui to 409.mui (ENG) and replace the ones contained in the ENG ROM (that I'm using atm) with the new renamed files, in order to translate my ROM o part of it in ITALIAN language.

At che moment I'm using a 6.5.3 23451 build, and I translated Manila and Titanium.

Hope you can help me, and hope it hasn't be requested yet. :rolleyes:

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Goto my server, download WM6550-23541.rar and you should find all 0410 MUI files inside.

But be aware that this is are files to cook a ROM, so some of the files might need to converted from modules to files with a tool called RecMod.exe.

You can find the tool on my server as well in the tools folder => RecMod.7z

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pistou:
Oh, please. If it were a dead technology, this forum wouldn't exist. It's a simple matter of marketing. Apple has done a marvelous job of marketing their stuff and making people think they're the only viable thing going (see: it even convinced you two!). Why do you think all sorts of new cars have iPod ports but no 3.5 mm jacks? Because there are no MP3 players other than the iPod? Every other MP3 player uses "dead technology"?

Hi,

flickign through emails on my diamond 2 using htc's interface doesn't mark the emails as read. I have to click through to open up the email in full in order for it to be 'read'. I never need to do this, so the new email count gets larger and larger and is almost always on 99.

is there a hack that can make outlook mark items as read after set period and even better, delete them after x days too?

my phone seems to slow down when i have too much mail on it, so somethign that can auto purge would be great.

Then again, I've also increased the resolution of my camera pictures in Superfine mode. That's the only quality I'm willing to take photographs in. Especially when it comes to being outdoors.

It's a hardware issue that HTC is very aware of. They have tried to patch this in the past, several times in fact with several "Hot Fixes" that were released for the EURO model... some devices might just be faulty.

It's luck of the draw in the mobile device world, seriously... it is! :rolleyes:

Hi, I've searched but can't find an answer to my email problem:

I've got 2 POP email accounts set up on my phone, and until now have had no problems, but a couple of days ago the email tab on the ribbon at the bottom of the home screen shows I have one email in one of my accounts. However, when I go to that account no email is visible, so I can't delete it to get rid of the false notification. When other emails arrive in that account they are visible, and I can delete them when necessary.

This problem doesn't stop me using the phone, but it's a bit irritating - any help is gratefully received. Thanks.
[HD2 General] myth1001:
I think it's due to active sync. Go to Outlook E-mail inbox. There should be an unread email in there.
[HD2 General] John North:
Thanks for your speedy reply Myth1001, but I've already checked that possibility. When I say I've got 2 email accounts I mean 2 that I've set up: Audiosense.co.uk, my company, and Sky.com, a general domestic account. There is also the Outlook account, but I didn't set that up - I presume it's part of Mobile Office. The "stuck" email is in the Sky account. When I go to the email account screen, the Sky email icon has a green box with the figure "1" in it, but when I tap to open the message it won't open, and therefore won't delete.

I have both accounts set up to leave messages on the server so I get them on my desktop machine when I return home, so I'm going to try deleting the last few day's emails from the Sky server. I don't think it's that but I can't think of anything else at the moment.

I'll let you know what happens.

Smart Reader seems to be OCR, but it produces just junk and random characters:-\ It has 4 functions - business card (this one seems to work), document (just random characters), translation (haven't tried yet) and picture (what this is for I don't know)

Then I have also that Microsoft tag reader, but when I start it it seems to have problem with a camera and is just showing scrambled flashing colours no matter where I aim the camera:)

Is this meant to be used for reading QR codes?
