[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Case_:
I've posted this in my "GPS fix" thread today - I've done another comparison between the cheapest of the cheap VF845 and my Galaxy finetuned as much as possible at the moment. You may think I'm too demanding, but how can I not be when I have long term experience with phones worse and cheaper than Galaxy, but with GPS much more accurate? Galaxy is in red.

One thing you can't see from the tracks is the fact that my location on Galaxy was dragging behind some 10 meters all the time. Big problem for car navigation purposes, I'd say...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] septlc:
destinator and coopilot live they both work ok, like in my old samsung i900.

if you get 7-8 connections on the gps and a 3d lock, then you have nothing to be afraid of.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CommanderROR:
@case

it looks like the Galaxy was guestimating your position using aGPS (mainly the a part of that) instead of really using GPS navigation. The lagging would also suggest this. My Touch Pro running Xandroid also gets a bit slow and inaccurate when it can't get a GPS signal for a short time in the middle of recording a track.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcespon:
Similar issues seen here that point to a badly designed algorithm. On open spaces, and after one minute of moving the point around, it finally gets close to the real position. I've tested for several hours on different parts of the city.

But the software tries to guess the position, does not calculate it from the satellites. If you go walking straight along a street, and then make a 90º turn, the phone keeps moving the point along the first street, for several seconds. Then it starts moving to one side, until it slowly comes to the street you're now.

If you're close to buildings, the accuracy is very bad. An I mean compared to the other two smartphones I've had. I have been always able to get sharp turns and see on what side of the street I am. An this includes an HTC smartphone running Android 2.1, Google maps 4.4 and Mytracks. So we are talking about the same OS and GPS software here. What changes is the underlying hardware and drivers.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Deltatristar500:
Hi all, well Ill be getting another replacment for my TP2. Monday I got my TP2 as a replacement for my TP. One thing I have noticed with the TP2, the keyboard keys dont have that much give, especially the space bar, it puts a space there, but not really sure if I pushed the button down. Plus my volume rocker switches are really really hard to push in..i have to push really hard to increase and decrease volume. My screen gets lines and pixilation when sliding at random times. Plus my screen flickers like its going to crap out soon usually when sliding the screen out. Are these know issues on the TP2?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gamescan:
Sounds like a bum handset.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Deltatristar500:
Yeah, thats what Im thinking...just waiting now for the replacement
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Diamond_dawg:

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Deltatristar500:
Got my replacement and all is better
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
So if you look at some of my previous threads you'll see that I have complained about signal strength A LOT. After upgrading to 2.2 roms it seemed like I was constantly having bad strength at the placed I most frequent, ie my house.

Today I decided to give that "htc official way to increase battery life trick" a shot just to see what effects I would have.

I'm currently running Evio 1.1 and kings latest BRAIN **** KERNEL :D

but anyways, I only got half-way (step 2 or 3), I did the first 1 hour charge then decided not to do the second 1 hour charge because I needed my phone. But anyways, after I turned my phone on after the 1 hour charge while having it off the first thing I noticed was I had 5 bars! I though this was just the normal fluctuation so I stared at it for a while and it hardly budged! Now its down to 3 bars however its not fluctuation up and down like it used to.

Before I would average 1 or 2 bars and it would fluctuate anywhere from 0-3 bars. Now I'm getting a stead 3-5 bars.

I'm really not sure what could have possible happened but the only thing out of the ordinary that I did with my phone was the htc battery tip....

dunno...just thought I'd share that.

P.S you can look at some of my other threads and see how much of a baby I was when it came to signal strength.
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
Its possible that you have new towers or upgrades to the network in your region. Even so, it really doesn't matter what is displayed, it really only matters how well you stay connected. It can say 0 bars, but still have a decent connection.

Anyways, glad yours works, mine still has the issue. I may try the battery thing eventually, though more for the battery enhancements.
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
well it must have been a fluke, because after an hour or so things went back to normal... Im back to fluctuation between low signal strength... oh well. it was nice while it lasted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] truthlesshero:
Hi...I posted this originally in the milestone/droid forum...but after a few google searches, i saw that other people were having this problem on other devices...so i guess it's a glitch with a "hack" of some kind with android in general...so here goes:

I just did a few nice little modifications to my phone...

and ever since i installed apps2sd (it seems to only pop up when i install this...no other mods seem to "screw" the phone up like it)

I get a few messages/areas that don't give the correct messages

these are my main examples:

(it says "sound off" instead of notifications)

(says %l-%p instead of God knows what)

(says "sound on" instead of clear)

along with these errors...the "force close" message box is extremely screwed up (i get "application process" and "%l-%p" things everywhere...also, i just saw that "preparing SD card" is actually "select input method")

if anyone knows how i can fix those specific ones, or if there's a general solution to all of it, i'm all ears

thanks for the help
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonymo:
My phone turns off by itself when it is charged ! 5-6 times a day, maybe even more

I can't turn it on after this. !!!

After this I can turn it back ON only I connect it to the USB cable !!!

(it dose not need time to charge, just to be connected to charger or USB. After this it may work for 2 hours and just go off again)

I searched the forum, and not only, but had not find any posts with the same problem

This phone is my "life" - I can't go to T-mobile or smthing, don't live in USA :( ... so relay don't know what to do... I will be glad if you give me some tips

P.S. the phone is not rooted or smthing, I even tried to delete all apps I installed to see if this will help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunu:
Your battery is probably jacked up. Buy a new one. Then after that root that G1 and put CyanogenMod 5 or CyanogenMod 6
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xx12thANG3LxX:
For sure your battery. There is a post on this same q&a section about this same issue.

sent from my superfroyo dream;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonymo:
I was thinking about the same thing, but:

I need to plug it in only to power up (I don't leave it a second for charging - it is all ready 80% or more or less dose not matter) - the battery is holding the charge, and the discharge rate is at a normal speed

The problem is that: it shuts down from time to time - and when this happens I need to plug it in order to turn it back on

If I turn it off myself - I will be able to power it up with no problem
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephayzee:
I had the same problem until I actually took a look at my battery and saw how swollen/warped it had become. Take a look at yours and if your battery seems the least bit swollen, its time for a new one. I ordered mine today.

Hi,

I'm having weird issue. When I try to delete a sms received from a contact, the message is deleted, but the contact entry still remains in the sms list.

Even if I try deleting or discarding the entry it still remains in the list. This is really annoying, could someone please help me resolve this.

Thnx!

[Captivate General] blackinches:
rooted my phone last week. tried installing a screenshot app that requires root. told me my phone wasn't rooted. so i rebooted it and tried loading up titanium backup because i know that works as i uninstalled a the stock att apps. it's FC on me when it 'asks for rights' or whatever.

any idea?

stock rom, unleashthebeast installed, lag fix ext 2 installed as well.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Maybe you have to open the super user application first. You should get a pop up from the super user application when an app is requesting root access.
[Captivate General] blackinches:
yeah, i know. it's acting like it's not rooted at all. would ATK have anything to do with this? i have been missing with 'ignore' and kill' on a bunch of ****. maybe uninstall that and see.
[Captivate General] blackinches:
Just tried opening super user or whatever and it FCs as well. Any idea wth happened and what i need to do to get root back? Im guessing a hard.reset.and fresh start. Dsmn sure disnt make a backup like i should have. Am i screwed?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eseb0:
It's probably best to do it via ADB.

I use Root expl. only to rw mount /system partition.

How to do via adb?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] oversim:
from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=759320

0. Root !

1. adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/fr-black.apk

2. adb shell

3. su

4. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

5. mv /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-resORIG.apk

6. cat /sdcard/fr-black.apk > /system/framework/framework-res.apk

7. chmod 755 /system/framework/framework-res.apk

8. sync

9. reboot

:D

why cat and not mv/cp ? Because the file is created with "root" user and group and not "sdcard" group.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] abhi98228:
Means the framework file is first placed on sd card which i want to replace? Asking noob questions cause dnt want to install whole software again :p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eseb0:
Here, I'll try to explain what happens :P

1. adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/fr-black.apk

-copies "frarework-res.apk" from ADB's folder and moves it to the phone's SD card, names it "fr-black.apk"

2. adb shell

-opens the linux shell on the phone

3. su

-goes into superuser mode, i.e. runs apps as admin if you're familiar with windows terms

4. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

-remounts the /system folder on the phone so that it is read-write, allowing you to mess with the system files

5. mv /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-resORIG.apk

-backs up the default framework-res.apk from the phone by moving it to the SD card

6. cat /sdcard/fr-black.apk > /system/framework/framework-res.apk

-copies the fr-black.apk from the SD card and puts it in the old framework-res' place

7. chmod 755 /system/framework/framework-res.apk

-changes the user permissions for the new file

So, I just downloaded this bad boy and been enjoying it so far. Definitely a lot better than Fring and Nimbuzz. If there was one thing I would change, it would be the option to reduce the size of the avatars and contacts names on the list. With such a large screen, we would be able to fit most, if not all, of our contacts without the need for scrolling.

Anyways, aside from that, my main concern is battery consumption. What are your thoughts so far? How much drain are you experiencing with it? How does it compare to other Multi-IM apps out there?

Let's get some convos going!

Does anyone know if it uses the new Android Cloud to Device Messaging? If so that should seriously improve its battery consumption over other IM apps.

[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
I'm enjoying it so far. I like the interface better than eBuddy, and it doesn't show a notification icon while it's running in the background. I'm really impressed with it just being a beta, and I'm looking forward to the updates.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
I've been using it and it's the best IM app yet. I'm a bit concerned about battery life though. I receive messages while on background but they're not instant, meaning it looks like the app is polling the server, which would drain the battery as opposed to keeping a push connection.

Update: Okay now all of a sudden my messages are coming right away. Maybe it's push? Also, I've noticed under settings, you can have it send a notification to your push Gmail account when someone IMs you you select "Suspend" instead of "Sign off", which would save a lot of battery.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:

[EVO 4G General] dallashigh:

I use "Network" by "Philipp Mangelow". It doesn't auto switch but it gives you quick access to the network settings so you can switch between the two (faster than navigating through menus I find).

I haven't tried the 2g-3g application from CurveFish, but last time I checked it recommended not using it with the Desire, may have changed now. Best of luck =D
[Desire General] Dodgylegs:
I know, I saw that. It mentioned not to use it with the Droid too and that was my phone before I've just got the Desire.

I've used it with both and all seems well. Again, it just takes you straight to the setting as opposed to being a toggle switch. But its a shortcut nevertheless.

Not seen Network before, so will look at that. x
[Desire General] th3:
SwitchPro widget has this working with some ROMs - not all. I had it working on Eclair but not on FroYo.

The PowerControl widget in OpenDesire ROM allows this exactly. You might be able to install its APK and get it working. It has a 2G-3G toggle and a separate GPRS-HSPDA toggle. You can set mobile data to only be enabled if 3G is enabled too.

The CurveFish widget opens the cell settings menu for you to change between the two - not a widget toggle per se, yup.

The Power Control in CyanogenMOD does allow this, but presumably support for it has been specifically coded into the OS.

Yes That would seem logical. I tried that but it doesn't get rid of the boot system which is preventing me from getting the OTA 2.2 update. I want to revert completely.

Admittedly I don't really understand all this rooting business so it does me little good to have my phone rooted.

I can revert my ROM but it doesn't get rid of the clockwork mod boot system and therefore I still cannot complete the OTA update. Every time I try the update it starts to install and then goes to a page with a caution triangle and just freezes there and I have to pull the battery and reboot and I'm at the same place I was before.

If you used the official 1.47 RUU, and it completed properly, then you should be completely stock. It wipes all the partitions and puts you back to stock.

Grab the one that is Odexed, as it hasn't been tampered with at all except to add SU permissions.
