[Galaxy S I9000 General] RyanZA:
I get where you're coming from, but I've never had any GPS problems so far. If what you're saying is correct then I'd like better GPS performance too (and a pony!) - but I'm not sure if I'd even notice if it was any better, since it works perfectly for me as it is. So I don't think its really a big issue. Or even an issue at all, for me.

If I had the choice of 2 firmwares, one that increased speed by 1% or one that made the GPS better, I'd take the 1% speed increase, since the GPS already does what it needs to do. Since people keep saying a GPS fix is on the way in the 2.2 froyo firmwares, I guess we can choose both in a few weeks?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] boomerbubba:
I've seen much hope and rumor from anonymous "people," but nothing I can rely on -- certainly no clear expectation that there will be a "fix" bundled with Froyo. There is not even a statement from Samsung that all the GPS problems can be solved in firmware updates, or that there is no underlying hardware problem beyond the reach of a firmware "fix."

I know that casual GPS users like yourself may not care. Perhaps the OP is one of those users. [Edit: Oops. I just reread his post, and he describes himself as "a heavy GPS user."] A large proportion of end-users think "GPS" is just something on their dashboard that talks to them robotically in a soothing female voice to let them know when to turn.

Many others who use and develop geographic apps care a lot. I would not keep an Android phone long-term with GPS performance this bad. A reliable GPS that reports to programmers, users and the Android OS that "you are right here right now" is just considered core Android functionality. So my own decisions hinge on how I can avoid being trapped in a long-term commitment to this fundamentally defective phone without assurance of a real solution. (That business problem is nasty here in the U.S., where long-term contracts with wireless carriers dominate the smartphone market.) For my part, those tradeoffs compel me to return my phone, incur a financial penalty, and seek alternate arrangements with greater downside protection in case "people" are overly optimistic victims of this manufacturer's shoddy practices.

Perhaps the business terms in your area are better, and the risk is not so great.

p.s. Actually, I am secretly glad that there are users like yourself who don't find the GPS problem to be serious, since I like the device otherwise and still hope to keep it. My new business tactic is to ditch my long-term contract and own my phone outright, hoping that a firmware fix will really fix it. But in case it doesn't, it is reassuring to know that there will still be buyers for the phone in the resale market. :-)

Hi guys,

Is there a way to manage startup apps in froyo ? most of the startup managers in the market only kill the processes after the phone starts rather than disabling them.

The phone lags a bit with many unwanted apps running in the background.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
If 4G isn't official in your area it could be that the tower's won't give out an IP address and you won't connect. For Example. 3 weeks ago I was driving around LA.

[General Questions and Answers] lukedunk:
I love some of the build 23xxx ROMs that people are putting out. The interface overall is a huge improvement.

I do however have problems with a couple of older apps designed for PPC (maybe as old as WM2003). They work fine except no longer display an "OK" button on certain screens. At times that means you're stuck, because you need to press "OK" to continue! Bummer.

I've tried Energy.Leo.23673 and HD2_Core_Cell_Evo_V2_(23569). Both give the same issue, but Energy.Leo.21911 works fine.

Any hope with newer builds out there, or do i have to stick with 6.5.3?

Thanks to everyone for all of your hard work!
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
You'd be better sticking with the 21xxx builds as the others 23xxx, 25, 28 builds with all have the start button on the bottom and therfore wont work, unless you can edit the programs themselves ;)

Thanks, Timmy!

I suspected as much, but may have found a useable work-around (see below)
[General Questions and Answers] lukedunk:
Thanks for your help!

My problem sounds very similar, though maybe not exactly the same as described in your thread. Here's some pictures and better description in case anyone is interested in investigating. In any case, while trying to take these pics I discovered that the back hard key (left arrow on HD2) seems to send the same command as the now missing "OK" button. So perhaps I can continue using the newer builds after all. :) Read on if you're interested...

Pics of three screens from my T-res app are shown below while running on both a 21xxx build and a 24xxx build. On some screens the "OK" button, which used to show in the upper right corner, is successfully mapped to a bottom right soft key, but on other screens it seems to fail. Looking at the screen caps: Screen 1 fails to produce a soft key, screen 2 produces one (Note OK button in bottom right of 2.2), and screen 3 again fails.

Not sure if this is an issue with the new WM builds, or just poor coding of this particular application (which wouldn't surprise me). I'm going to stop short of diving into the code, since I'm supposed to be studying (!), but thought I'd post in case anyone out there is bored enough. :)

Thanks to everyone on the forum for churning out some great stuff! I'll be donating to various peeps when I can.
[Nexus One General] Roxy:
I guess I just need to vent this out...

But yeah... lost my nexus one.

Went to cheesecake factory. Took out my phone and played with it. Then... I placed it on the chair and totally forgot about it when I left the restaurant. 10 minutes later I realized I didn't have my nexus one with me ( when I was in the car... ) went back in... and go figure... my phone isn't there anymore. I went to ask the person in the front desk, and she told me she didn't have my phone.

So then... I called my phone... like more than 10 times and no one picked it up... Few hours later, I tried calling again and it went straight to voice mail. I guess that person found out how to turn off the phone ( took the battery out? ) or hard reset it.

Sigh... whoever stole my phone, I hope he/she dies. <^>

Thing is, I use a pin ( to access the phone ) so... he wouldn't be able to figure out my pin, meaning... he will not be able to access to my gmail and other things.

However, he WILL have access to my pictures and stuff... though that doesn't really make a diff.

does google concider a login into your gmail account when the phone syncs? If so then you could look at googles logs and see the ip address.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknownrebelx:
Hey guys,

A friend of mine just got an Incredible and for the most part is loving it. The only problem he has is that the battery has a very short life in comparison (I'm on a nexus one and I usually get 4 or 5 hours more than him doing the same amount of activity)

I was just wondering if replacing sense with Launcher Pro or ADW or something would help out his battery life any. I'm not exactly sure how the launcher or custom skins affect battery life. I figure this would be the best place to ask.

Thanks in advance :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanhassars:
the best thing I've found to improve battery life within the OS is to go into the sync settings and set everything in there that you don't use to either update manually or update once a day. Even though I never set it up to, it had stocks/news/weather setup to update hourly as the default.

If he uses facebook set that up to update once a day. I personally didn't need it to update every 15 minutes because you can refresh it whenever you want to check it. Wether you use sense or not it still runs in the background since so many apps are built into it.

Use autobrightness or a lower screen brightness. set the screen timeout for 15-30 seconds.

little things like that save big in battery
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asterdroid:
Sadly, no it won't help. The Sense UI program (Rosie) continues to run in the background even with Launcherpro installed. His best bet is to root and install one of the Froyo roms we have. My battery life has improved tremendously since I upgraded.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] execute_method:
This!

Also, he probably wants to get one of the 1500mAh batteries that fits with the oe back cover. ( I got mine off ebay for $15 )

edit: here is the item: http://item.ebay.com/170500602834

With that battery and SkyRaider's 2.2 rom, I can EASILY get at least a full day out of mine.

Also, like was stated a few posts up, changing the programs that are syncing to do so less frequently will help a lot.

(Hope it's OK to cross post...) see this thread, it has a lot of tips on getting better battery life all compiled into one thread.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknownrebelx:
Thanks for the help guys.

I showed him this thread this morning and he doesn't want to root yet because he read somewhere about the new update from Verizon un-rooting the phone with the OTA update. I explained that a custom rom wouldnt get the OTA but he wants to wait nonetheless

He did disable sync and purchased the new battery today though so hopefully that kicks the battery to at least 12 hours.

So there is no way to completely shut off the Sense UI at this point without completely loading a new ROM? Boo.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] execute_method:
He needs to realize that there is no guarantee that he'll be able to root AFTER the official OTA comes out. If he plans on rooting he should do it NOW, and after the ota comes out the devs will make a rooted rom based on it.

For all we know, the ota will patch the exploit that had allowed us to get root access to begin with.

Make sure he knows that if he is rooted and running a custom rom, the ota will not be loaded, thus his phone will not be "unrooted".
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] douger1957:
What he said.

I'm running Skyraider's latest. It seems to be fairly bug free for me, it has Froyo and all of it's goodness, plus it has some goodies that probably won't be available with the VZW update.

The unrEVOked team isn't confident they can root the update. Within hours of the VZW update hitting the airwaves, the devs will have stable ROMs based on it.

On the other hand...if you don't have any real reason to root...there's not a capability you need that rooted phones have, or you don't like living on the edge of root, or you don't have an experimental side to you...rooting offers no real advantage.
[Networking] kptkill:
My TP2's wifi has never worked properly. I've used the official 6.1 VZW rom, and flashed multiple times with custom roms and am currently using Energy 6.5.3.

I've noticed that although my phone will associate with the AP, it will fail to get an IP address 95% of the time. If I hard code a valid IP, it will function correctly.

Is there a known issue/fix with the wifi radio on the TP2? WEP/WPA2, AP distance, B/G have not seem to made any difference. Sometimes (VERY VERY rarely), it will just work, but the overwhelming majority of the time, it will just fail to get an IP address and auto-assign itself a 169 address.

I have tested this on multiple networks (home/work) and validated that my laptops (personal, and work issued) can connect fine. I have ruled out mac filtering, passwords, wep keys and certificates... it seems to be 100% phone centric.

Lastly, running android exibits the same problem. Android will not connect to the wireless network, unless i manually enter a static IP address. I have validated connectity by connecting to the routers web interface.

Hi all,

I am able to connect my HTC Hero (now on Android 2.1) to 3G but the problem is, I am only able to browse the Internet (even then, it seems to have problems with https).

All the other apps don't work - Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, etc.

I'm thinking this might have something to do with the proxy settings on the Hero. Just a theory - maybe only the browser on the Hero is able to respect proxy settings.

I have tested my SIM on another phone (my old E71) and it seems to work without any issues using the Gravity application.

Any pointers on why this could be happening?

Hi,

I managed to install Android on my HTC Polaris using HaRET. Everythings works fine (GSM, WLAN, GPS, Bluetooth) except mobile internet via GPRS, EGDE or UMTS. I updated the radio to the latest version I could find for my Polaris (1.65.38.14). I even called my mobile carrier (O2 Germany) to get the correct APN settings. With WM the connection via UMTS works perfectly.

Any ideas what goes wrong? If I would be able to solve this problem, I would abandon WM and flash Android on my phone.

I tried Android 2.1 and 2.1, but the problem remains.

Here are the details of my setup:

you can try following to activate mobile inet connection:

- put your phone into airplane on - airplane off

- (re)enter your apn via settings - wireless&network - mobilenetworks - access point names - press menu to enter new apn(s) or reset to defaults.

- force connection using modem.apk (connect/disconnect)

- reinstall/install another build, leave data

- install togga (toggle data connect), put on your sdcard and install via file manager

- use another zImage

- use stock radio

Hello,

as posted in another answer, none of warm donut, eclair and froyo was able to get my XDA2(Pola200) online by 3G due booting from haret.

Also none of the tricks given above and in another posts and wikis(i tried everything, believe me)had done the trick.

After flashing it on NAND (Kallt_kaffes eclair RLS7c with latest available eclair kernel), 3G was starting out of the box after boot, w/o further configurations. Curiously with an apn entry from O2. I use a prepaid provider which is based on the O2 network but it has another apn name.

Better be careful, maybe it will be an expensive experience, to go online with the wrong apn entry :( - in my case it wasn`t.

Anyway, dont`t know what`s the difference relatet to the hardware of my device between Haret and NAND boot and not/working modem.
