Suprisingly Good...

I was on a trip last week and realized I needed to find the route to a hotel from the airport. Since I didn't have a GPS device, I went into Bing and had it calculate my route. It gave me turn x turn voice navigation and I was able to get to the hotel with no issues. It was clear, direct and fast. It gave me plenty of warning when my next exit or turn was coming up based on my position.

Since I don't use Garmin or other GPS specific devices, I don't have much to compare it to but since this was free, no worries!

I use TomTom too - no probs here and i dont have any heat. The only thing with TomTom is that the company has ceased to update the navcore for win mob devices so the nice stuff that is available on the dedicated TomTom devices isnt available on PDA eg:street name voice.
[HD2 General] Rambler358:
Where did you get TomTom v7? I just checked TomTom's site and the only mobile navigation I see is for the iPhone. :confused:
[HD2 General] paolodoctolero:
TomTom

Just do a search in TomTom website for TomTom Navigator. That's how I get the latest TomTom Navigator. I believe its version 7.917 if I am not mistaken. Also, someone in the forum posted that cab file somewhere here. Just do a search.
[HD2 General] Rambler358:
Any chance you've got a link? I still couldn't locate it on TomTom's site.

I don't think searching is necessary, as it's probably removed if a cab file was linked to (piracy).
[HD2 General] w8asa:
Have you tried one of the air vent mounts that are available? They are all over e-bay. That would keep the HD2 out of the direct sunlight. I don't know which vent mount to suggest because someone gave me mine, and it doesn't have any manufacturer's markings on it.
[HD2 General] samalam:
Hi, I downloaded the maps, but I need to get the software (.cab) file for installing the NDrive software on my TMO-HD2. I don't want to pay to download from MarketPlace. Its not available to download a trial version either from NDrive's official site until you buy the maps. Can any one send me the file for a link to it on my email: mohiuddin.abdullah@gmail.com

Thanks. :)

hi

dear its called searching and reading its only a few months since i got my tattoo(i was & still is a WM user i also have a jade) and i have read in the development section & did all required and have rooted & flashed many roms in about 10 days of getting my new tattoo so if i can do it u can do it too:D pls look around read and u have all the answers u want in the development section :D

any way this is how u flash it assuming u have done root

put the rom u wana flash on the root of of ur SD

off the phone ,press down home and power on the phone wen u get the tattoo words release the home button but keep pressing down the power button u will get into a H boot with green words scroll down to flash from SD and clik on it using ur green answer button and do what the screen says

u need to be patient while the flashing is happening just wait till u get back the green screen and clik on the reboot screen and again u need to wait again as the reboot would take some time

Note : u need to do a wipe before doing the above

i hope this helps

[Captivate General] Deadlift:
I used the search but could not find an answer to this question.

I went in to check out the Captivate today and messed around with it for some time, I used my phone to send it ( store demo ) a text message and when it received a message the speech to text screen would appear on the home screen ( also in notification bar at top, along with normal text message notification ) and it was simple to just X it out but I could not find a way to turn it off.

So simply put is there a way to turn this off or does this appear every time you receive a text message?
[Captivate General] saint168:
Yes you can turn off the notification by going to the Messaging app/Setting/Notification.
[Captivate General] Deadlift:

I recently bought an android dev phone without realizing it has only android 1.6 onboard. I tried some sample code from android 2.2 but not all of them can run in my phone. However it seems we can no longer download the 1.6 sample code via the sdk manager. Therefore I wonder if anyone here has the package of 1.6 sample. Can I get a copy? I really appreciate that.

Or if you knew how to upgrade the adroid dev phone to 2.2 that would be even better.

I am unable to switch off the setting to stop downloading data automatically although I have unticked the box.

I continues to update the weather every hour complete with graphics.

I would like to switch it off and only download when I need it

Any suggestions?
[HD Mini General] moscard:
Hi,

I have a french version, but I try to translate, the naming will probaly not exact:

1) go to parameter (settings) page.

2) tap on "DATA service" (service de données in French)

3) Here, you will find what you want, "weather" and then untick "auto download"

I hope it helps
[HD Mini General] netsuke0810:
Thanks I have done that but it hasn't stopped the automatic data download
[HD Mini General] moscard:
Are you sure that is the Weather the cause of update ?

Ther are a lot of other aplications e-mail, Stocks, GPS update, application update,....

By me all this things seems to work well. Elsewhere, there is an application that stops all the phone communication : nodata. I do not use it but I read this work very well on mini.
[HD Mini General] humphster:
NoData

Hi,

See if the program "NoData" doesn't help you. It allows you to black access to the internet via your phone system. Sure worked for me.

[HD Mini General] bart3385:
The Weather tab is a big resource hog. I also suspect some bugs in it that can cause your phone to freeze. (Not verified yet. But one of my prime suspects.)

I would suggest to disable the whole weather thing altogether.
[HD Mini General] humphster:
Which resourses does the weather program hog? I magine that it's a load on the battery, and the graphic use up a lot of memory. Are there any others? I would never use my mobile provider to update anything in my phone. I do it when I sync or find a hotspot.

How would you disable it?

I am only curious, so when you have a moment, I'd be interested in your response.

Thanks
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Primary the ram memory. I notice it ate up several megabytes of ram. I forgot to jot down exactly how many. It certainly is not as small as 1Mb or 2Mb. Somewhere closer to 10Mb. It's huge.

Disable it from "Personalize Home Screen Tabs".

Basically, take it off the tabs. And don't update it. After a few days, it will just die off.
[HD Mini General] humphster:
Thanks. Memory is not an issue for me now, but I"ll keep it in mind.

Try the app: Sound Manager
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JG-1:
It gives you the option to do so under advanced, but when you wipe it it doesn't give you confirmation that it wiped.

Same problem for battery stats
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Doesn't for me
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
This is why many roms suggest using AR instead of clockwork, and why most times when you have an issue with a ROM, and say you already wiped, the first question you'll generally get is "did you wipe with clockwork or AR?"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JG-1:
So, don't use clockwork? Switch to AR in ROM Manager?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Or use CW through Recovery instead of through ROM Manager, at least until you have problems. I never have, and I've flashed plenty of ROMs, kernels, radios, etc. Even tested to see if dalvik was wiping correctly, and it was. But nobody cares about my anecdotal evidence, and there may be some issues that I've just dodged.

Regardless, there are several threads about this already.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JG-1:
I've been using CW threw recovery.

But it never confirms the dalvik or batt wipe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Doesn't mean it's not happening. But it also doesn't mean it's not not happening, either. All it means is that it's not confirming whether it is or isn't wiping, but it may or may not be wiping and just not telling you that it did. Or didn't.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antiphon:
ClockworkMod DOES indeed wipe the dalvik cache. I think the reason why many people are confused is that it only takes a second or two for the dalvik cache to wipe on CWM, whereas it takes longer on RA. However, the reasoning behind this is simple- most people wipe the cache partition before wiping the dalvik cache. When you wipe the cache partition, you are wiping everything on that partition, including the dalvik cache. So in essence, when people go to the Advanced menu in CWM to directly wipe the dalvik cache, they are essentially wiping a blank folder.

If you don't believe me, try this:

1. Reboot into recovery

2. Go to the CWM partitions menu and mount the cache partition

3. adb shell

4. cd /cache/dalvik-cache

5. Type "ls-a" and note all the files.

6. Exit adb shell

7. Wipe the cache partition in CWM

8. adb shell

9. cd /cache

10. Type "ls-a". This time there should be no dalvik-cache directory.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
I posted this exact test and result a couple of weeks ago, with the same reasoning. People don't care, they believe what they want to believe.

It would be at least compelling if somebody from the other camp would post proof that CWM does NOT wipe their dalvik cache.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Other camp is always anecdotal. "I couldn't flash xxx Rom after wiping with clockwork, but I switched to AR, wiped, and was able to flash perfectly". Hell, I'm one of them, was only able to flash BS once I switched over to AR.

Hello folks.

I'm working on custom kernel & ramdisk on Linux and was tired to plug/deplug the phone from my Linux workstation to a Windows netbook to flash it...

..Before I realized that Odin works perfectly well on a XP VM on a Ubuntu 10.4 host / Linux 2.6.35.2 !

Big bonus of this setup is that the software virtual USB switch allow you to plug/deplug the phone without touching any hardware.

Odin re-discover the phone and you can flash next millisecond :)

PS : this has maybe already has been reported, but I know few people who thought it did not work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FlanFlinger:
I never had any issues flashing my old Hermes through a VM XP machine on my hackingtosh back in the day, as long as I selected the correct USB port to stop OSX trying to grab hold of it.

Can someone tell me how to prevent my mac to grab my phone on usb? I always get an error from my virtualbox, thay device is used by someone else.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:
Can't get the Galaxy S i9000 to connect to VirtualBox either.

I select Gadget Serial, it waits a minute or so, then pops up this error message:

After that, sometimes the phone still appears as available to connect, others it doesn't. Very similar to the VMWare problem.

This is on my Late 2009 MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. Doesn't matter which USB port I select. I might try a powered hub in between the phone and the laptop. Connecting the SGS to the laptop USB is always a bit of hit and miss for both adb sessions and even mounting the sdcards. I frequently have to unlplug and replug the phone to get a connection. I've seen a few others report the same.

Must be an issue with OS X itself, but to make sure I'll have to try this on my Mac Pro desktop.

I'll report back any success, but I'm not hopeful, I've yet to read a report of someone successfully using Odin in a vm on a Mac.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ukchucktown:
I'll pile on with my test results. Thus far, under Mac OS X 10.6.4, I have not successfully connected the Vibrant to a VM USB in any Windows virtual machine with the Samsung USB drivers installed. I tried vmware fusion 3.1.1 and the latest virtualbox, 3.2.8. Both failed to recognize the phone when attempting to mount it. No issues in the Mac host environment or Bootcamp. The problem is limited to the VM environments under the Mac host environment.

If anyone has successfully connected the Vibrant to a Windows virtual machine running under vmware fusion or virtual box for Mac please report your results. I did quite a bit of searching and found no successful results with this combo. Thanks.

Was a little worried about using virtual machines to flash my favorite toy, but this thread was the push I needed to give it a shot. Plus, seems like there's a fix to get out of almost any brick you manage to install on your phone, even if you have to build a JIG its not expensive.

So gave it a shot and it worked like a charm, Mint/Ubuntu 10.10 host using Virtualbox. One less reason to ever use Windows 7. Even when I don't boot it Windows breaks, I swear its a scheme to keep people who fix Microsoft products employed......

[Android Software Development] MultiMike:
In a little hobby project (non-distributable app), I'd like to use a class (Use2GOnlyCheckBoxPreference) from Android's com.android.phone package. I've checked out the Android source from the repo, fully built it and included the javalib.jar in my project, but that only seems to help me at compile-time (in Eclipse). Once I run the app on the emulator or device, I get a ClassNotFoundException. If I set the javalib.jar to be exported with my APK (in the project properties), I still get the ClassNotFoundException, but as the app is loading I see lots of "has an earlier definition; blocking out" logs in LogCat. Looks like one message for every class in the javalib.jar .

Sparing me the "These classes aren't intended to be used by 3rd party apps" comments, has anyone used these classes before? Is it possible to accomplish what I'm trying?

Thanks in advance for any guidance anyone can offer
[Android Software Development] JakeWharton:
I have found it best to just include the source files in your project when using internal Android code. This way you ensure compatibility with your app at all times and it allows minor tweaks to custom tailor if needed.
[Android Software Development] MultiMike:
Thanks for reply Jake,

How do you suggest to do it exactly? Would you include the android repo dir in eclipse as src folder or would you actually copy all of the needed classes out of the repo checkout and into my little project?

I'll give that a try later today, but I'm not understanding the difference this will make at run-time. Why would there be a diff between the jar compiled by make vs if I compiled all of these classes in eclipse?
