Garmin software is property of Garmin so technically this is paying for Warez.

If you really want to have the software, Mass email garmin to sell it to other android phones.

Also TomTom might be coming to Android because of the large user base.

I always preferred TomTom for GPS systems anyways.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DigiMannen:
And?

Garmin is doing the stiff upper lip thingey, I have asked many times and no meaningfull reply, only we well inform you ,bla, bla...

Tom Tom is crap if you want/need Topo maps...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tekkitan:
And? IT'S ILLEGAL. Not sure why there is any question as to why. Warez is illegal and therefor not allowed on these forums.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] egzthunder1:
Agreed. Requesting for copies of software that can be obtained by purchasing it is considered warez. Thread closed.

Sorry guys found a previous thread in another forum.

Mods please delete.

I just bought the tasker app and figured I would let people know how its working for me, and to solicit suggestions for things I can do with it.

background:

Its a very good app that allows you to script the behavior of the phone based on a very large set of events or states.

My initial use:

As previously mentioned on this board the bluetooth streaming volume is not the loudest, so I always end up turning up the volume for bluetooth. Then when I plugin my headphones I destroy my eardrums.

So I setup a task that when I connect to my bluetooth car stereo, it automatically sets the volume to max and turns off wifi for good measure.

I have another task that when I plugin headphones, it sets the volume to 60% and opens the doubletwist music player.

Finally I setup the standard battery task so that when my battery gets to 20% it turns of all the GPS, wifi, and bluetooth radios, as well as dimming my screen.

Anyone else have this app and have something cool they have setup using it? I have heard of silent mode when the handset is placed flat facedown, which i thought was unique.
[Vibrant General] techspy:
I have had it for a few days and am playing around with it. I have 2 tasks so far. First is to go to silent mode when face down. This is especially nice since I charge it overnight by my bed and don't want notifications (emails etc) waking me up so I have been just turning silent mode on at night and off in the morning. Sometime forgetting to turn on in the morning.

The 2nd task is to read the email sender and subject aloud when I am in the car and it is connected to my car stereo via bluetooth. I like the wifi off setting you did. I may do the same.

I also noticed that when listening to streaming through bluetooth with the wifi on but not connected to an ap, I get "skips" every once in awhile. Turning off wifi fixes it so I may set it to turn off wifi when streaming bluetooth audio.

Couple issues I have had. If the phone is in "standby" (pushing the power button) tasker won't go to silent mode. Also, I tried to make the screen go off when face down as well but it doesn't work. Apparently tasker can not turn the screen off but you are supposed to be able to change the timeout to as little as 7 seconds. I set that up but instead of the screen going off it just dims. Not sure of the issue.

I am interested in what others are doing so post the info.
[Vibrant General] engineer14:
I have two keyboards i really like in 2 different orientations.

Droid X keyboard:

its sweet autocorrections and large real estate makes it ideal for two thumb typing in landscape

swype:

slower than droid X keyboard in landscape, but in portrait, this is possibly the fastest/most accurate keyboard around.

I tried to set it up so that i could change my keyboards depending on the orientation, but i could not figure it out

im also for an app that turns your screen off with a timer (in the background). and have that work when you turn your screen downward./

any with either of these would be greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant General] Breach:
Anyone have a screenshot of the vibrant texting in landscape mode?

I have yet to see a real Vibrant, only dummy phones. I am used to a physical keyboard, but really want to give the Vibrant a chance. I want to see what the virtual qwerty keyboard looks like in landscape mode. I have yet to find a picture of it, everyone shows us what the swype looks like in portriat mode.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
I had the same ideas about physical keyboard. Swype + 4" keyboard is REALLY simple and i prefer it over a physical keyboard (G1).
[Vibrant General] Breach:
Thanks for the quick reply. I will order one tomorrow and put my G1 away in the cellphone museum.

Rick
[Vibrant General] LatinSilEighty:
others since swype isnt for everyone

Samsung

Android

Custom HTC_ime
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
I wondered the same thing before I bought the phone... Swype is great

In portrait; even enough to forget physical KB by itself. All the KB in landscape are super sensitive and MT supported so its almost like having a physical KB.

Vibe the XDApp
[Vibrant General] engineer14:
Well right now I am on my vibrant in portrait mode and this took less than one minute to type. Oh and by the way before I got mine I went to the immobile store and they let me test it out.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Yeah I use Swype on portrait. It's really accurate and not even worth switching to landscape to do it. I've tried Swype on my G1 and it was really nice and all that but sometimes it would be difficult due to the limitations on the screen size. 4" definitely makes it a lot easier.

I had a G1 since '08 and T-Mobile let me buy the Vibrant for 2 years for $164.99 when it first came out :) Contract wasn't even ended haha
[Vibrant General] LatinSilEighty:
A couple bought ones from the Android Market

Smart Keyboard Pro

My personal favorite right after HTC_IME

Better Keyboard
[Vibrant General] LatinSilEighty:
ok thats it :D, Better keyboard is customizable (Butt load of themes both free and payed on the market) and Smart Keyboard pro has some themes built in (i was showing the iDont aka iPhone style on the pic).

Theres a bunch of options so if you dont like the ones it comes with you can always get some on the market both free and payed
[Vibrant General] engineer14:
Hey i would advice you also check out the droid x keyboard. Takes up a lot of keyboard real estate but it is super accurate. It also seems to be a whole lot more effective in landscape mode. No lie, on a good streak i can probably hit up to 20 words per minute. Mind you this is also the first phone without a hardware keyboard i am using. The autocorrect is also a thing of beauty.

Edit: just found out that you cannot do that with tasker. If anyone knows a workaround to allow this plz let me know.

Btw: i sent this msg from my vibrant using the droid x keyboard.

Also.immediately you get your phone replace the stock browser with dolphin hd. I feel it beats all other browsers out there. Getting a program like tasker and settiglng a rule where it switches your keyboards when screen orientaton changes would be a great idea. Swype for portrait and droid x for landscape.
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
I never thought I'd ever buy a smartphone without a real keyboard, but Swype really has me converted. I find it much quicker and easier to swype in portrait mode rather than landscape since the distance to travel is shorter.
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
I've been using better keyboard since my G1. I've tried others and still find better keyboard to be the best out of any keyboard. I love it, full multitouch support as well.
[Vibrant General] Breach:
I placed my order for a new Vibrant for myself and a new white MyTouch Slide for my wife.

I will probably keep my G1 as a backup, and then get rid of my wifes original MyTouch on ebay.

Thanks for the posts. It made my choice easier. I don't know if I will be able to give up the physical keyboard or not, but if worse comes to worse I can always swap the Vibrant pretty easily for a new MyTouch Slide, right? ;)

Rick
[Vibrant General] LatinSilEighty:
Its like an ex-girlfriend that you just keep running back to, yeah i always end up going back to Better keyboard too, it was one of the original replacement keyboards that not a lot of people had anything bad to say about

every time i get irritated with the rest of the keyboards i just go right back

All these files are from the i9000 dump

push these libraries to /system/lib (from /system/lib)

push the service binary wlp2pservice to /system/bin/ (from /system/bin)

push initialize_nat.sh to /system/etc/ (from /system/etc)

The current problem is running

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhcp011235:

Ill have to compare the ones you pulled VS i9000.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackeyedbrian:
What dump are you using? I only have the i9000 /system dump so i dont have /lib/modules etc
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhcp011235:
The issue here. Is. There is a iptable rule that is supposed to exist which doesnt.

You know anyone with a i9000 euro? who could do a iptables? and show a list?

we may be missing a script to make these. Ill look around the i9000 files.

Yea,

# Delete Previous MobileAP NAT Setting

# Step 1 : Masquerading

iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o pdp0 -j MASQUERADE

iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -j ACCEPT

# DNS Setting

iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i wl0.1 -p tcp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to $bakdns1:53

iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i wl0.1 -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to $bakdns1:53

iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i wl0.1 -p tcp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to $bakdns2:53

iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i wl0.1 -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to $bakdns2:53

Did you try making those two?

using iptables?

iptables -N POSTROUTING

iptables -N PREROUTING

Then run it again?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackeyedbrian:
That doesnt change anything, but there is another file: /system/etc/enable_pdp.sh . When I ran that, the output of wlp2pservice changed to show the previous dns1 and dns2. but the other errors are the same.

That file is here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3O60KNPB
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhcp011235:
Try running those two commands i told you for iptables.

then running this sh file.

it should kill errors.

Because that SH. Just deletes the data in the chains then repopulates.

Thats the script i was looking for :)

It should return with no errors.

after you make those two chains -> run this script.

then run the other .sh.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackeyedbrian:
No, no change
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Disconn3ct:
FYI the "missing library" is part of the system packages inventory. I don't have the exact storage location off the top of my head, but it isn't a missing file - it just needs to be added to the system capabilities.. (that isn't to say that it works without all the files :) but it'll at least try, which it won't do when it thinks it is on an incompatible device.)

MobileAP disabled on European Galaxy S

Hi Jr33,

Could you explain how you got it working? I have a European Galaxy S, but my operator seems to have customized the ROM so the Mobile AP feature is disabled (I don't have the Mobile AP options in the Settings panel, nor the USB tethering options).

But I looked at the files you uploaded in the thread "[MOD] MobileAP Vibrant/Captivate", and all the files are present on my phone.

When I try to run wlp2pservice, I get the same iptables errors you got at the beginning.

Also when I run "service list", I can see a service named WLP2PService: [android.broadcom.IWLP2PService]. I don't know if that means the service is already running.

What steps should I follow next? I would like to try and keep my stock operator ROM while having this working.

Thanks.

[Q] Motorola XT701 (Milestone "2" / Motoroi / Sholes) 3G support for AT&T / Rogers

There are a number of threads about this lovely Android device:

Motorola XT701 (Milestone "2" / Motoroi)

And asking whether or not it works with AT&T or Rogers 3G. According to the gsmarena and various other specs, the XT701 supports the 850 / 1900 / 2100 MHz 3G bands. AT&T uses 850 and 1900, as does Rogers Canada.

Should work, right?

I've seen posts that said that it falls back to EDGE or even GPRS on AT&T and will NOT work. Some ebay sellers indicate it works with NAM (North America) 3G, while others explicitly say it does not. Quite a lot of misinformation about phone specs!

Can anyone with this phone confirm that it works with AT&T or Rogers 3G?

Please don't post an answer based on the supported bands -- only if you've confirmed that it does indeed work via UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA on AT&T / Rogers!

Thanks all for the brilliant forums and apologies if I should have posted this the "Motorola Droid" section.

Also, if anyone has rooted this phone, please let us know how. Universal Androot claims to support it but I haven't seen any posts indicating it was successfully tested without bricking.

Plenty more info here

Also the Milestone 2 is the XT720, which doesn't have the 850 whatever bands AT&T uses, but rather the 900/2100 that T-mobile uses.

Newegg currently specifically states the one they sell is the 850/1900 model, so if you can get Newgg to ship to Canada, that'd be your best route since there apparently are two XT701s, one with AT&T(CHina) and one without(Korea)

You can use

I tried the first option as well. It only erase all the user data and apps, but it won't recover lost preloaded apps though. My understanding is that it is the same for the second option unless I put a new firmware somewhere. Right?
