[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] CyberDonky:
I had the same problem too. I've downloaded the new CHT, placed it on my mobile. :_)

When you open that CHT Install File, Windows asks if you want to remove CHT from your mobile. Press Yes ofcourse. Than you open that file again and than install it :D

It should work 100% properly though.

It routinely takes ~5min to get a GPS signal, and sometimes it never happens at all. This severely affects the usefulness of GPS for me.

It pinpoints me perfect to within a couple of feet, but by complaining & adding a poll could pi$$ people off who are working hard on developing android to work on our hd². You've got to consider that less than 2 months ago it wasn't even a thought that it would work on our phones never mind a stable version. I haven't booted into windows for days considering that i would have to soft reset quite often with it. So i say each day is bringing android closer to a full build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
Whats with peoples complaints. What do you accomplish by asking these questions.

Its just like If your parents buy you a brand new dell laptop. You then proceed to complain about the color.

They didnt have to buy you jack crap but instead they took what hard earned money they made while working and bought you this computer.

I'm just saying
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chimpsinties:
Maybe you're just not standing in a good area?

Mine seems to lock on fine. Maybe not instantly like it used to with QuickGPS on WinMO but certainly within a minute or so. I wouldn't go back to WinMo because of it put it that way.

I've been a happy daily user of Android ever since it first became available. Just keeps getting better.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ducter:
Wow, talk about a smack in the face. Are you satisfied with GPS?

Are you kidding me? Satisfaction at this point in the game is almost irrelevant. You didnt buy the HD2 with Android running on it, did you forget that? Do you know what ALPHA's and BETA's are? Do you know that you dont even have to run Android at all? Go back to winmo or sell your phone and buy a real Android phone. Until things are out of BETA or the not working stage...even then, I am not sure you have grounds to complain about work that SOMEONE else has done and GIVEN to YOU free of charge hoping to make YOUR experienced on YOUR phone BETTER.

Learn to develop and fix the issues yourself if your unhappy with the current state of things otherwise put your bottle back in your mouth and stop whining.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
I managed to get a gps fix indoors by a window in well under 5 minutes. This fix was also not aided by data networks as those were disabled purposely for this test. Overall the gps works at least as well on android as it did on windows. I am using IGO Motonav because it utilizes the 480x800 resolution.

Maybe you can try enabling location services via data networks to get a fix sooner.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nks2105:
I used the GPS a few times.

What I noticed is that sometimes it takes too much time to initialize.

I believe it fails somehow but doesn't give a message that says so

So I just close and re-launch Navigation.

Sometimes 2 or 3 times and it usually works at that point.

Everytime I used the GPS I have been amazed by how accurate it is.

Imagine that 2 months ago I had a crappy cell phone and I've never used a GPS before so everything my HD2 can do I think is cool now LOL
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HectiQ:
give this guy a break..

I had the problem myself. His goal was maybe to receive information from other users who ARE satisfied, E.G. setups that DO WORK.

I can't get GPS to work properly, it shows the GPS icon but the road I'm getting is like 30 km's next to where I am.

Though, it works on some builds, I once had a build that worked almost flawless but can't remember which.. The build I'm using now doesn't work for a meter.

Imho, I'm not complaining, I just use winmo for GPS. But please, don't attack every new post. Maybe the op can change the title to 'Working GPS builds'/somthing like that..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11calcal:
Thank God someone else with the same outlook as myself, you cannot expect everything to work but IMO most is considering its fairly new & not native to this phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HectiQ:
yes, that's a fact, but there is no need to exaggerate 11calcal.

I think everyone here has respect for the devs, it's not like he actually ment to insult anyone with his post. Only answer if it's related to the OP's question.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] alantak:
Admittedly, the question was worded poorly. Rest assured it was in no way meant to be a complaint to the devs (who I have donated to).

I posted a poll because it is the only thing that is really problematic for myself but seems to be regarded as working fine by everyone.

I think that in this whole endeavor its important to not cloud development, testing and user-feedback with flame wars, so I apologize if mine came across that way unintentionally. Text via the interwebs is a poor medium when it comes to emotions, don't you think?

And to clarify, once triangulated the GPS is accurate as ever, its just the time it takes to triangulate thats bad. It takes seconds in WinMo for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11calcal:
ok it was worded in a manner that sounded ungrateful. All i was stating is as its still developing things will become better through builds/zimages etc, it wasn't meant as a flame. As i said mine is quite good so we'll leave things said in the past. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ducter:
Sorry for jumping to conclusions, and honestly its not my work to defend so I suppose I was just as wrong.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LondonTownGuy:
You need to edit the gps config file in system /etc to your local sever it will then find signal as quickly as winmo. There is a thread somewhere I think its called quick gps or something like that with further details. Basically you need to unmount the system and edit the file, making sure it stays, (CHMOD 777) I think its defaults to US.pool.org.

My only wish is that it didn't drain battery so fast I need to use a charger now, and no TomTom, but I have not used winmo since.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] terrytpot:
moving on then and sticking with the original question...

I think a fair amount depends on which particular sat nav program you're trying to use...I've so far loaded Co-Pilot,Navigon,N-Drive and Sygic McGuider and the time to first fix,purely using GPS and not AGPS, varies depending on which I choose to use (obviously environmental factors will influence this as well). If your particular program isn't upto scratch,either try another one of find one that someone with a similar set up recommends. (and NO...I haven't got time to run a series of tests and publish best first fix results :D ) You also need to bear in mind that while another type of sat nav may have a better ttff, it might not work in a manner you like or have features you feel you need! My only complaint is aimed at TomTom for not releasing an Android version of their software yet:(

p.s. Please don't ask me for info on getting GPS software..Nearly been banned for that before:o

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gold_sprinter:
Hi Guys, I have had this phone for around a week now. I have it rooted and installed a T-mobile ROM. The problem I am having is that I cannot do the 3 button trick. I have been browsing the forums and everyone who is having this problem is told to exchange it.

Since I have a different ROM, and accidentally wiped my phone during the install not very smart on my behalf). My phone boots up with this ugly pink "stick together" logo and irritating sound.

Is there a download where I can change it back to the original one that came with my Bell?

I originally posted this in the Vibrant section and realized that more Bell users were over here in the forum. Sorry for the double posting.

go to the ROM Manager topic in Development section and ask for help there for the ROM that you need to fix the phone.

Thanks for your input guys, I actually ended up taking at back and told them I accidentally loaded the wrong ROM. And without the three button enabled I was unable to flash it back to the proper ROM. Thus killing two birds with one stone. And now I have a device that has the 3 buttons enabled.:D

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stangdriverdoug:
ok, So i have been running CM6 and was in downtown Cleveland and decided to NAND restore to a Sense rom to see if 4G was up. I turned on 4G and it said 4G network detected. The phone did a cycle of scanning....obtaining IP address....connecting....scanning....over and over. I was afraid that I might have a broken Wixmax...ran emulator, the MAC ID is correct, have the latest Wimax radio installed, and the wimax_mtd command through terminal emulator checked fine with no errors.

Question is....since Cleveland is not a official 4G city is it possible they are just testing the towers / signal and thats why the phone won't connect to 4G, of do you think there is a problem with my 4G?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmanderson26:

Flashed from DamageR_DCG v4.6 Eris Port to CYANOGEN V8 THEMED.

I wish I would have read this post before proceeding further with f*ing up my phone.

I think the following fix would have worked if I hadnt started flashing other roms to try to fix the issue myself.

["-Second: if unresponsive and showing 3G signal bypass setup by touching all four corners of the screen starting with the top left and going clockwise. At the bottom touch the screen just above the language and emergency call buttons."]

After flashing CYANOGEN V8 THEMED, I waited for it to start up and load. Unexpectedly, there was an android icon presented in the middle of the screen, with a hand directing me to touch it. I touched the android icon, it turned white, but that was the end of it. As soon as I let go of the screen, the icon would turn into its normal green and black color scheme. So i touched everywhere, haha, and rotated the screen and continued to press every available space on my phone's screen. I gave up and thought the rom, itself, was "broken". So I tried flashing my previous rom, and the trouble began. I am now experiencing an error message with each rom I try to use. It says "Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close button". The error message listed above pops up whenever the phone starts, neither HTC Sense nor Nexus Home loads. I could use some help.

I will try looking for a newer rom version to flash, but I dont think it will work. ;(

**Update - Problem Solved - I did a factory reset/wipe, Dalvik-cache wipe, and proceeded with flashing a new rom.

**Thanks, gnarlyc, it was the Dalvik-cache wipe that fixed the problem.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
Go back into recovery and wipe data and dalvik-cache and flash another ROM.
[Droid Eris Android Development] akaarnaz:
Okay, I wiped, and am now flashing CELB Froyo2.2.

I will update this post when it is finished.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
Cyanogen tazz needs the Google apps flashed right after you flash the rom.

Then you have to wait a minute or so for the 3g icon to appear. Then you can tap the android and proceed with setup.

Tazz v1.0 is super stable and fast. I would try this rom again but make surer you flashed the right Google apps package.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MINUS Stl:
Been somewhat aggravated with how the phone displays cell signal for the longest time. Maybe I'm just not understanding how it should be displayed, but......

Service w/ 0 bars

I understand I may have just enough service for the "T-Mobile" to be displayed, but not enough service to display 1 full bar. Here's where I'm confused.....

"Searching" w/ 4 bars

I don't know how many times I've shown 4 bars and tried sending a text only to have it fail right away. IMO, if my phone is searching for signal, it shouldn't be showing any bars. :confused::confused:

This is only happening at work where I have horrible signal. At home is no problem.
[Desire General] iang123:
Hi,

Don't know weather or not this has been discussed before but i'm hoping for a reply.

I installed opendesire ROM and after some time my phone kept on rebooting, so I wanted to do a full wipe of the phone and reinstall a new ROM. I was also using A2SD so I have partitioned my SD card. Thing is, I wanted to wipe that as well so I had no remains of anything old before I put another ROM on. So I plugged the phone in reformatted the SD card as FAT32, Went into recovery done a full wipe of cache and factory restore and then flashed a new ROM. When the phone booted up though All my old apps were there. I don't want this to happen I just want the phone to be back with nothing on but the new ROM.

Could someone please explain to me how to do this?

Cheers

Ian
[Desire General] iang123:

You only formated the Fat32 partition. Ext3 is not visible under windows (ask m$ why). You can either:

1. format ext3 trough recovery

2. get linux and format it trough there

3. install software on your pc which can read ext3 partitions, I don't seem to recall its name :)

I just got this phone yesterday and so far I'm still on the fence about keeping it. I just came from a Nexus One and I miss 2.2 severely but I can manage to wait another 30ish days.

To the point of this post...

I have a bluetooth radio in my car which I connect my phone to and play all of my music. On the way to work this morning I Connected the Vibrant (for the first time) and the audio was dropping out. It happened randomly and sometimes for 1-2 seconds. I've been using my N1 for BT and I've never had a problem.

I've searched Google and I haven't found anything for the Vibrant.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Vibrant General] techspy:
I had this issue and turned off wifi and it went away. I think it only happens when you have wifi enabled but it isn't connected to an access point. Maybe it is from perodic wifi scanning to find an access point.
[Vibrant General] elkavayo:
I hear you. Same story regarding 2.2. Still waiting though...

Regarding bluetooth, I can connect without problems to my Genesis Coupe 2010, whether WiFi is ON or OFF. As a matter of fact, I have all WiFi, BT and GPS ON all the time. I have not experienced any difficulties with the audio. This applies to the car/phone functionality, as my car does not support the audio streaming profile.

I'm on my second Vibrant, since I exchanged the first one due to a rattling volume key. The first one had trouble connecting to the car and I thought it was because of 2.1 (Nexus with 2.1 never connected to my car, it did just after 2.2)

One thing I did before attempting to connect to the car was a factory reset. I did it because I started to play with the GPS settings and wanted to go back to factory condition. I mention this because maybe the first one would have connected if I had done a reset to factory as well, but that I'll never know!

My phone is not rooted or modified in any way. No task killers, or anything extraordinary installed.
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
I have the same problem with my Vibrant. And I had the problem with the G1 as well. There's a defect out there for this (can't recall the number). The problem is with Android.

You can try this.

"Default [FIX] Fix poor AAC streaming performance (Pandora, Slacker, etc) on Froyo

When I installed Froyo on my N1, I found that streaming quality over Pandora suffered tremendously; low-quality was unbearable, and high-quality sounded worse than low-quality normally does. The change to StageFright from OpenCore is to blame here, while it improves HTTP streaming, it's AAC decoder doesn't decode LC-AAC streams properly.

To disable it temporarily, use

Code:

adb setprop media.stagefright.enable-player false

and restart any applications actively playing anything. To disable it permanently, pull build.prop from /system and change the value there. When you restart, it should be disabled; use adb getprop to verify.

Of course, the phone needs to be rooted for this to happen, as r/w access to /system is required.

One other side note: this change also appears to fix the bluetooth "skipping" issue that appeared in 2.2 as well.

I got this from a post entitled "[FIX] Fix poor AAC streaming performance (Pandora, Slacker, etc) on Froyo" on the nexus one forum.
[Vibrant General] bmj1086:
Stagefright isn't in Eclair, It's in Froyo and Pandora has already updated to fix this issue [for me anyway].

I'll try switching off Wifi and seeing if that helps. Thanks for the replies.

I'm having the same issue with my jabra halo headset. It's quite annoying. OP please post if you find a good solution.
[Vibrant General] dan0zone:
make sure nothing is blocking or touching the back of the device, this is where the antenna is located. The ' skips ' you get is when your devices can't find each other... and when they do re connect , you hear a change in the pitch of your music... this is not skipping just a signal block.. if you want to confirm, download the logcat app from the market.. and there you will be able to see what is happening when you get a ' skip '..

hope this helps...
[Vibrant General] iflyabeech:
This happens to me as well when trying to connect to my Sony headunit via bluetooth.. Its not skipping.. The music just cuts out for a second or two randomly...I have tried using a mxzing and the standard music player, but it still skips out every once in a while....I will try turning of wifi to see if that helps...

I can use the bluetooth for phone conversations and it works fine with no skipping... I can plug the phone into the head unit via the headset jack and it works great with no skipping... It is only when attempting to listen to the music player through bluetooth that it skips!
[Vibrant General] chadti99:
Even if you get it to stop skipping the quality is so poor its not worth listening. Broken GPS, compass, and bluetooth, fix this Samsung!
[Vibrant General] iflyabeech:
My audio sounds great... it just randomly skips....compass sucks though
[Vibrant General] chadti99:
Try swapping between aux and bluetooth on your phone and you'll know what im talking about. On second thought, maybe you shouldn't if it sounds okay to you now ;) .
[Vibrant General] RKight:
This was the same problem I had. My music was constantly skipping when I listened to music at work. I thought it might have been the stock music player, so I downloaded MixZing (which I actually prefer now) and had the same problem. At first, I though it was the bluetooth on my phone...but sometimes it would play fine all night long without any issues. I started restarting my phone before playing music, thinking the OS just had some minor memory management issues. Finally, I realized that I was leaving my WIFI on when I left my house. I use WIFI at home and have never had skipping issues with my music. When the WIFI is on, and I'm not in range of a router, I think the skipping almost certainly happens when the phone polls for new connections.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Glad we could help -- that's why we're here :)

Well, don't feel like you NEED to do anything next. But I'll offer a couple general suggestions.

1) Browse around the Themes and Apps section. There are lots of cool themes, apps, mods, etc. that you could add that provide even further customization and additional functionality. Also consider browsing around the Development forum to see if you might like to try any of the other ROMs out for a bit.

2) Think of what else do YOU want your phone to be able to do? Think of some things you'd like to see out of your phone. Then start searching around here, or in the Market, and see if such an app/mod already exists or if someone here is working on it.

Basically, you don't NEED to do anything next, but just know that you can do plenty of exploring here for all kinds of stuff, and you now have the ability to customize further.
