I dunno what you've tried it with but google nav flies. It also dls everything it needs for the trip you set at the beginning of the trip so that it's not pulling it while you're driving. This improves speed and also keeps the nav working if you go out of service mid trip. However, google nav/maps always flies on 3g for me so you shouldn't be concerned. I also found that a lot of equiv apps are actually cheaper on android, not more expensive.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
Not sure what you mean by "As fast as". With 3G i have never had google maps not keep up with my driving.

I used to have a Tomtom and ditched it when I got this. Useless to me now.

Alright i have been waiting fir Froyo to come out and if it does today how will it affect my phone? My phone is only rooted and doesnt have a custom kernel or rom. Will this ota simply wipe the root and leave my phone alone ir will it seriously damage my phone?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMK83:
It will wipe root and close the hole used to root unless you have s-off

I think they are the only two for Hero - i might be wrong. There is a modded one for large data partitions but that isn't the "norm" yet.

Personally AmonRA is my favorite as I know how to navigate around it but i'm fairly certain it makes little difference.

Try them both and see which you prefer. It isn't difficult to switch between.

I'm well aware of the codec switch to stagefright in froyo. I've even written gscripts to disable and enable it on the fly. However, no matter what rom I use now, even with stagefright enabled, my same old radio mp3 streams now cut out far too often. If I disable stagefright, the streams won't even start.

Is anyone else experiencing this with mp3 streams and have any other fix I'm unaware of? Sadly, I'm about to go back to 2.1 until the codec is fixed in one of our builds to retest both slacker/pandora along with my mp3 streams in Cherry Rplayer or Stream Furious.

Thanks.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedil1c1ous:
Just an update for anyone with Streaming problems... I did end up going back to 2.1 (Damage Control 3.2.3) just until the google fix is released for 2.2. It's supposed to be fixed already but they are working with partners to get it released to the public.

Not only is there a problem with apps like Slacker and Pandora on 2.2 when stagefright is enabled, after researching more, pretty much all apps used to stream mp3 high bandwidth station streams are broken. I listen daily to 64kbps CBS and Greater Media stations through apps like Cherry Rplayer and Streamfurious and they constantly cut out and/or stop. Also, even with Stagefright disabled, I experience more pauses in 2.2 with Pandora/Slacker, whereas 2.1 is flawless.

This is just a sanity check for people who may also be experiencing these issues with mp3 streaming apps in addition to Pandora/Slacker.

Yup, it would have to be the genuine up and coming x10 Pro:

All reputable companies, esp. Sony release their latest products on Deal Extreme, rather than through their existing sales channels

In a clever marketing move, Sony have renamed the x10 Pro to "Portable Media Player" to catch the iPhone wave from the start of the decade

Phones with TV ariels are so hip right now

Deal Extreme never sells copies of anything

Sony have taken a revolutionary step to use cheap plastic in the design of the x10 Pro, moving away from the slick appearance of the regular x10, thus creating a greater product differentiation, appreciated by the x10 Pro buyers

The super advances in technology over the past 6 months have enabled Sony to sell the x10 Pro at around 10% of the price of the regular x10

Only genuine phones come out with dual SIM as standard

Having scrapped the Sony UI, the x10 Pro only needs a regular VGA resolution of 640*480

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] submarine:
I have a nokia remote (AD-54) and was wondering if it could be possible to make it work with SGS with some software mod, or is it physically impossible? It's a nice remote with 3.5 socket, allowing me to plug in my own headphones, and would be great for controlling music playback (cause with just the touch screen it's a pain really). The mic on this remote works fine with SGS as far as I've read, but the controls don't.

www.rolmobile.es/tienda/images/hs45-ad54_312X312.jpg

And, if it's not possible, do you know of any wired remote with 3.5 socket and music controls that works with SGS?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plemen:
Ditto - I would love a remote for my headphones to control the music player as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halkus:
Nokia might work...

I went ahead and bought one of these.... it does not work out of the box, sound is not output correctly.

What does work is switching the phone into TV out mode. In TV out mode the sound is right. However I can't get the buttons to work at all.

When the phone is not in TV out mode then the headphone socket output is different and non-Nokia compatible. I don't know if that means iPhone accessories work or not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SargeRX8:
Its a hardware limitation. I very much doubt the SGS is designed to receive input, apart from microphone streams, through the headphone socket.

Nokia handsets know there is another bit or byte or what ever it is coming through which in turn activates a function. SGS doesn't. The way the Nokia headset is designed, it really only works with Nokias, even to give or accept sound as an output/input.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halkus:
Ok.

Oh wait, you're just guessing you don't know if it's a hardware limitation or not - and you're wrong.

Thanks for that exact explanation.

Of course it doesn't. I'd have posted that the attachment worked if it did.

That's bollocks too. It outputs sound just fine. The question which you've not answered is if the SGS can "see" the signal generated when a button is pressed on the Nokia remote. You don't know the answer so why are you trying to answer the question with "It's a hardware limitation.". All you have done in your post is guess the answer as no. I'd guess it was a no too, but I don't know either, which is why I'm asking.

On forums it just clutters things up and adds useless content to a thread if people who don't know the answer try to answer it by making it up. I appreciate you're trying to help, but unless you know the answer to the question then you're not helping at all.

You can use alternative music players like Tunewiki or Cube. They can play the next song by pressing the headset button twice

http://pinoutsguide.com/HeadsetsHeadphones/samsung_galaxy_headset_pinout.shtml

Altough this one states that it is the same

http://pinouts.ru/HeadsetsHeadphones/nokia_handsfree_pinout.shtml

and we know that nokia's TV-Out are working.

For the buttons to work, the OS has to understand the same command as on the nokia, is it responding to anything when you push the buttons?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halkus:
Remember that enabling TV out mode changes the pinout of the phone.

In "normal" mode with a Nokia control adapter in sound is not correct.

In TV out mode with a Nokia control adapter sound is correct.

In neither case do the Nokia buttons do anything - Play/pause, stop, fwd, rwd, vol+, vol-.

I'm sure the phone is only Nokia compatible when TV out is enabled. In this mode we don't know if..

1) The hardware of the phone can receive a signal from the buttons.

2) The firmware of the phone allows this to be passed to the software.

3) Software can use this input for media players.

Outside of Nokia mode, I don't know the answer to the pinouts.

Of the three pinout links you posted... http://pinoutsguide.com/HeadsetsHeadphones/samsung_galaxy_headset_pinout.shtml seems to be verified. There are three posts saying it's incorrect, but they simply say that the left and right channels are reversed. It's implied from that then that the other aspects are correct.

I think since we're no further forward it wouldn't be a total waste for me to go ahead and get one of the iPhone control adapters off eBay and see what the result is?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SargeRX8:
I try to help and you insult me? You are clearly a dunce. Ill stay out of your thread.

I was making a guess based on what is known. The hardware inside the SGS is different to the nokia. That link posted above proved the pinout is different thus proving what I said to be correct, its a hardware limitation. What the Nokia headset sends out as a signal is not going to be received by the SGS.

Kindly get bent and refrain from posting your useless crap. Unless you work for Samsung or Nokia as a hardware engineer or they release the information, or you've spent time following the circuit of the phones, you will too be making a guess.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
In non tv mode the sound works fine for me. Are u sure you have a real Nokia ad54. A couple of the fakes I got off eBay don't work correctly. If u have a real one the sound works fine for music/books and when u get a call the sound will also work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halkus:
I cannot be sure if I have a real one or a fake. Music sounds ok when it's not in TV out mode, but some parts are missing on some tracks. I'm guessing I'm hearing left or right channel only on both sides - but I'd need to find a file to test that with to be sure.

The one I got looks exactly like the one at the top of this thread. It came without the headphones. It even had the cable tie wrapped in the same way.

Argh! I've just done a left/right channel test... and in normal and in TV out mode the left and right channels are separate and correct. It turns out the AD-54 I have has a slightly dodgy connection.

The test I used is here - http://www.wooferbasstest.com/left-and-right-channel-verification-audio-systems/sound-effects.html if that's any use to anyone.

So after taking a complete wrong turning... apologies... back to what t1mman was saying...

There is no response at all from the Nokia buttons. I've even made sure I'm wiggling the wires about while I do it with both the device switched to the in position and the off position. As I'm still not convinced though I wouldn't mind lgkahn's input on it - Do the buttons work in any way for you on the AD-54?

We know at this stage then that the Samsung and the Nokia both use the same channel (ring2) (my rusty electrical knowledge tells me that it is not possible to use ground?). However the SGS is either incapable of seeing the Nokia signals, or is not looking for them so ignores them... I think that's the summary of where things are.

Going forward from here I think there's no point in trying a iPod pushbutton thing - so unless someone has a different opinion I won't bother getting one off eBay.

It would be interesting for someone who knows more about the phone itself to let us know if it's even conceivable to try to see if the phone is seeing a signal, because if it is seeing a signal then perhaps it could be taught to respond to it? I'm way out of my depth there.

Other than that though, it seems to me that the Nokia device serves no purpose, and the only way to pause/play music is to use an app that pauses/plays when the headphones are disconnected.

Hi, first post everyone :) Has anyone tested out the new white Galaxy S yet? I recieved one earlier this week from a well known company online(i already had it in black but wanted it in white) but when making a call there was like a humming/buzzing coming from the earpiece, thought it might be because the volume was on max but still the same problem, tried changing sim to no avail. I went to the shop the next day to return it and exchanged it for another one in the same colour, got home and it still has the same problem as first handset. So im wondering what it could be as i bought the first one online and the second one i recieved was instore so they cant be both from the same batch could they?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bnakid:
I recently had to hard reset my TP2 (but removed the SD card prior). After the reset I inserted my SD card hoping I could retrieve files saved there, but it turns out that neither my phone or PC no longer reads them because they're encrypted - but it's the same phone. I'm not clear why the same phone would not be able to read those files.

After looking through the forum and further research, it seems those files are just plain gone - or at least not able to be opened. Is that true? I could see them on my pc (through a card reader), but could not open them through the phone or pc. My company enforces the encryption on the phone and the card.

So my main question is this: How do I back up these files so that I can retrieve the data on them if I should be forced to do another hard reset? I downloaded some purchased games to the card, some cab files, and a little music. I'm mostly just concerned about the purchased files. If I just copy them to another folder on my PC, don't they remain encrypted?
