Is 3G data used when GPS in use?

My GPS does not work unless 3G data or wi-fi (in short internet is on) enabled. I get the lock pretty fast if 3G data or wi-fi enabled. If I turn them off I keep getting message data connection lost.

Does anyone else has this problem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corvettesky:
This is supposed to be that way, data connection is used to get the map or any other thing you are trying to get. GPS just give your position, not the images.

I installed Skyraider 2.5.2 vanilla, the only thing I need from Sense is the media player.

The Stock media player doesn't read the internal memory where all my music is (I still have a the 2gb and it's full to the brim)

Does anyone know of a way to install the HTC media player, and will the lock screen controls play nice with the vanilla lock screen.

If it doesn't play nicely with the lock screen is there a way to get the vanilla media player to read the internal memory?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
You no longer get lockscreen controls, thats a feature of the sense lockscreen. I'm not sure you would be able to get it back with the controls on the lockscreen. Check out "MixZing Media Player" from the market. It reads from both and also has its own lockscreen widget and controls.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeymop:
Okay, I'l try that thanks

EDIT:

Wow I love mixzing, it's improved massively from when I first used it!

If it possible to get it to work with the transparent stock media Widget?

[Desire General] tolis626:
Hi guys!

I have an unrooted Desire since July and was stupid enough to apply the 2.2 OTA without knowing that it wouldn't let me root my device anymore.I almost gave up and thought that I would have an unrooted device forever,but I saw on the Development section a thread for downgrading the HBOOT for those who applied the 2.2 OTA,thus making rooting and reflashing possible.However,I don't know if it is a simple process.Is it painless and most of all,is it safe?What is the chance of serious brickage?

What concerns me most is whether I'll have to reinstall all my apps manually one by one.If I have to completely wipe my device to downgrade I will have to backup my apps(using myBackup in my case) without the ability to restore their market links due to the fact that this feature requires root access.

And finally,is there any alternative?Can unrEVOked root my device as it is?Or is there any way I can keep my rom exactly as it is while rooting?

Thanks and sorry for the many questions!
[Desire General] teppic74:
You cannot root stock froyo at the moment in any way.

The downgrade is quite easy if you have an AMOLED screen. If your phone is branded you'll need to create a goldcard. The downgrade will wipe your phone completely.

If you have an SLCD screen the downgrade is still possible but much harder.
[Desire General] mdfine:
Just follow the pinned tutorials, there is one regarding exactly your situation.

I managed to get thru this just last night, the only problem i got was to unrevoke cause i have w7 64bit, it kept telling me "done", but i didnt achieve recovery mode. finally i did it using ubuntu via wubi, but i had to install 32bit gtk libs additionally because of my 64bit machine...

so its possible, its done and it is working.
[Desire General] daern:
Very straightforward, accepting that you need to wipe your phone. (it needed a clear out anyway ;) )

My advice if using unrevoked, forget doing it in Windows - just live boot a Linux distro and run it from there. Took < 5 mins to hibernate Win7, boot Fedora (in my case) from USB, download the app, run it (as root) and let it do its thing. Once done, boot back into Windows.

Never looked back :)
[Desire General] tolis626:
Ok...Once I sort out what to do with my apps I'll do it!

And yes,I have an AMOLED Desire!

And daern,I'm using Ubuntu for my everyday usage!WinMo is not the only version of windows that I hate! ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgw24:
Will the leaked "official" RUU wipe my phone if applied? I reverted back to stock for the OTA, but would like to update now if the RUU released is official. I would rather not reinstall all apps/configure the phone again though if not necessary. If the RUU wipes the phone, I'll probably just wait for the OTA.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
ALSO ...

I was going to ask the same question, so rather than start a new thread, please answer the above and also:

2) Do I *have* to wipe before running a RUU if I am stock rooted?

3) Does anyone KNOW if running the RUU still leaves S-OFF

4) Since I am radio v1.xx, HBoot v.77, etc., would the extraction of ROM.ZIP and renaming still update everything, or do I need to RUU

5) What are the advantages of RUU vs. ROM.ZIP
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MachString:
1) the RUU Will wipe your phone

2) No need to wipe before RUU or ROM.zip

3)Yes (at the moment only s-on from unrevoked will put s-on back)

4) yes Rom.zip will update everything

5) not sure, some report problems using the RUU (probably don't have the correct drivers) I prefer the rom.zip so there is no need to reinstall the correct drivers from HTC to make the RUU work correctly.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdmerck:
RUU WILL wipe everything. The RUU in fact will not let you continue the install unless you agree to this understanding. The OTA once it is pushed from Verizon will simply update your software. If you do not want to start from scratch, wait for the OTA.

2. You do not have to wipe before running the RUU, the software will do it automatically.

3. I used RUU earlier this evening, S-OFF is still in tact, with HBOOT running at .92. No issues whatsoever.

4. If you are still at Radio 1.xx and HBOOT .77, I would recommend the RUU, you will save time because you won't have to go through the process of downgrading your bootloader and radio.

5. The RUU is official software, direct from HTC. Rom.zip, with any kind of deodexed goodness or whatever, has still passed through a third party, and upon installing it, it still isn't guaranteed that you will receive an OTA updates in the future (if that is your modus operandi). RUU will also automatically update your HBOOT to .92, AND your radio to the 2.15 flavor.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trism:
Hi guys, need some advise here.

I have purchased for a ridiculously small amount of money a non-working G1. It's non-working because when it's turned on the G1 page comes up shortly follows the a white triangle with an exclamation mark in it with picture of the G1 lying next to it. I can get into the recover console by pressing alt+l nad have tried wiping the device and installing an offical Android 1.6 update.zip but all that happens with that is says the installation was aborted.

Is there any hope for this phone or should I just shelve it for spare parts?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
WHAT official update.zip? You need one signed with the proper keys, which are related to the vendor.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trism:
I downloaded this file: http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/signed-kila-DRC83-from-CRC1.c41b93c1.zip and renamed it to update.zip.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Wow. I'm surprised that anyone could actually expect that to work. Geeze. Did you bother looking at the file size? 14.5 MB? Your first hint should have been the word "from" in the file name..... it is NOT A COMPLETE SYSTEM!!! It is PARTIAL.

This one MIGHT work, *ASSUMING* that you have a phone branded tmobile-USA, which I find HIGHLY UNLIKELY given that you're flying the Union Jack... http://code.google.com/p/android-ro...=signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip&can=2&q=

I suggest hunting a little longer and finding an FULL update.zip applicable to YOUR PHONE.

Right, I can't install the custom recovery because I can't get into fastboot, I can only get into the regular recovery screen. Also adb doesn't recognise that the phone is attached when I ask it to list connected phones. Is it time to give up with this or does someone have any other ideas?

ADB isn't going to recognize your phone unless it is rooted. How can you not get into fastboot? What happens when you try? You may actually be getting into it without knowing so.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trism:
Holding down any of the other buttons on boot (camera button, back button, home button etc) does nothing. When booting the G1 screen comes up then the white triangle appears. I can press ALT+L to get into recovery but nothing else.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fruchtfliege:
hello guys,

in several threads i found people with same issue, but there hasn't been started a discussion about it:

it happend now 3 times that my hd2 went out of battery during night. no problem i thought, but after plugging in and start the phone android gave me errors like force closing swype, sense and other apps... since the errors seem to be all about apps which ran before the phone shut down, i guess android killed the applications and make them unusable.

do you ever had this issue? it's really bad to know that you are screwed if you don't have a charger nearby when battery is running out and you have to do a fresh install of android! maybe someone has a solution for these forced closing errors - this will help a bit until android is able to shut down controlled without destroying running tasks... if there are threads around here which i haven't found with same topic, i'm sorry!!!

my specs are: goatrip android 1.0 rom, mattc 1.6b with sense (rmnet image)

p.s: hopefully you can follow my words (from germany)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] the_ape:
Get hold of titanium backup, do scheduled full backup, and if u get force close issues do a full system data restore, trying to find an app though that will force a clean shutdown when battery gets to 10/8% though, as that would be the safest option until nand

sent from my HD2 running Android using the xda-developers app.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] marasp:
it did happen to me twice and to friend of mine once within a week...the problem is that even i have Titanium Backup in this case is useless as it is constantly force closed by android. almost all games disappeared from the phone as well as few other apps. basically android becoming unusable. the only thing different from your situation is that my battery did not go flat...it happened when battery level was around 50-60%. I do not know what my cause it and would be grateful for any tips how avoid those situation in future.
[Nexus One Android Development] adamiester:
Theres a minority of us with the N1 who use Desire rom ports and the soft key lights dont turn on. It appears to have always been this way with no one atempting to fix it, other than the gscript which doesnt work with 2.2. I have an AT&T N1 and kinda think it effects other att versions but dont know for sure, if you have this problem speak up. it would be much appreciated if an intelligent developer could look into this issue. The desire ports are great but not having the lights in dark rooms is rather frustrating and annoying.

thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] goalfish:
I think this may have something to do with the phone's light sensor. My capacitive buttons (using eVil's latest desire 1.06t) kinda flickers sometimes but most of the time, it's off... Basically, the screen seems to light up pretty bright even in pitch dark and since the screen thinks it's in a 'bright' (since screen turns bright in the sun etc.) setting, it turns off the capacitive key lights... Can anyone confirm and maybe have a fix for this??? This is just my opinion and not sure if what I'm saying is true or makes any sense at all...

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tosh1:
OK guys.. i have a Droid that I was about to start rooting....

I did this before but not sure what I did wrong this time.

I put the phone in Bootloader mode by holding up arrow and power on. Then plugged in my USB cord to phone and phone recognized it.

Opened RSD Lite and loaded file: SPRecovery_ESE81.sbf

It goes through several different flashes and then the last one after like 10mins shows on status as 100%, but under result it shows in Process still....

I waited another 5 more mins. and then I unplugged the phone from computer. Now the phone is tripping out. It shows the battery as RED all the time, so I dont think that recovery file worked. When I power it on, it stays on for a 1 min. tops and then shuts off again.

What have I done wrong this time around?

Any suggestions? YOur help would be greatly appreciated. I am still kinda learning about these phones too...

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] SodaMachine:
I had this problem when I started my ventures into rooting and new ROMs. Just go into recovery>mount options>USB storage (obvi plug into computer) and put the rom you want to install on the root directory of the SD card and rename it to update.zip. Then go from the main SPRecovery menu to install and hit the second, then third option and it should install the new ROM. Everything should be fine from there.

[Droid Incredible General] gospeed.racer:
I am thinking there needs to be a standardized terminology for the ROMs. There are many that are "Vanilla" or "Senseless", "DeSensitized",etc, that really aren't. By labeling them as Vanilla or Senseless when only parts of the Sense are removed is kind of misleading, so for this I would submit my opinion...

Senseless: a ROM that has had Sense or some of the Sense components removed making it a hybrid

Vanilla: a ROM that never had Sense and thus has no Sense components.

Of course these are just my opinions, but I hope the developers can come to an agreement on a way of standardizing the verbiage.

(this post was purposely made in the Developers section as it relates solely to those doing the developing)
[Droid Incredible General] MachString:
+1 That makes perfect sense...lol
[Droid Incredible General] scottishwarrior:
I agree, many other forums have guidelines that have acronyms for different information and are in the thread title which helps with quick information by just reading the title.
[Droid Incredible General] ardax:
I can get behind that. I've always been fond of "Tainted Vanilla", but Senseless works just as well.
[Droid Incredible General] Metallice:
in order of senseness

sense > desensitized > senseless > vanilla

which means... all, some sense removed, as much sense as possilble removed, never was any sense to begin with

[Droid Incredible General] TNS201:
If people don't understand terminology, then they shouldn't be installing roms until they read up more. If you don't understand what you are doing, then why do it?
[Droid Incredible General] gryphon92:
It's not necessarily a case of spelling it out for people, but more of a standard for naming your ROMs. It's easy to go in and read that SkyRaider Vanilla only has sense removed, but that's frankly not the same thing as an AOSP-based ROM.
[Droid Incredible General] mike.d:
You just made my sig with that. :D Across all of my hobbies that I've ever had, this quote applies.

[Droid Incredible General] TNS201:
Yea usually when people try to do something that they don't know how to do and/or understand they end up messing something up, also known as FAIL. It's funny that people don't understand this stuff, don't even understand why they root, and rush into things without reading things like sticky threads and other such things to understand the basics of what is being done and why its being done. Some people have a hard enough time following a guide and its not to complicated and most stuff like ADB stuff can just be copied and pasted.

I think most people think root will allow them to pirate apps and this is why they look to get root. They don't realize that root is basically giving you complete control of your phone, backup and restore their phone, ability to theme and ability to install custom roms and apps that require root level access. There are just people seeking root for all the wrong reasons and don't realize they will never use it to its full extent.
[Droid Incredible General] gospeed.racer:
TNS, I think you are missing the point of my request- this isnt about "knowing what you are doing", it's about truth in advertising!

Look at how many "Vanilla" ROM's there are....and how many are what they say they are. Vanilla isnt vanilla when its got chocolate swirled in there:cool:
