The Garminfone (aka: Nuvifone A50) is Android.

The M10 & M20 are WM. The G60 is Linux based.

No one has ripped the mapping out of the phone yet.

I have my Garminfone 1/2 rooted. I can assaure you the maps are locked to the IMEI of the phone. I've already located my own map unlock code hidden on the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] etereo:
How about just extracting the Garmin app, not the maps (I already have the Garmin map, but no app to read it on Android) ?

Also, what's the location where the maps are stored? I already have my maps, so I want to put them in that location to be read? Pls apologyze for noob questions
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aurangzeb:
hmm..most of us are waiting for the garmin to be ported into our android devices..i think what we should do right now is patient.i also already have the keygen generator that i`ve used since i`m using symbian n winmo phone..the question is are the keygen could be use or not..and it is also for the map that u`re talking about...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z3bum:
The maps in a Garminfone A50 are in the .System directory (it is hidden) the A50 and the US spec Garminfone can read any Garmin maps so far, and work fine with lifetime updates, kg apps and the like!

I just wish Garmin would have made the Garminfone a little more robust, like waterproof, faster, and with better battery life. it is neat, but wont replace my NUVI 550.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] herbthehammer:
I edited these and made it from one, all the way to twelve. I'm thinking about making a alarm routine for the app alarms to make my evo chime like my grandma's old cuckoo clock on the hour! LOL

They are ogg. I looked and couldn't upload ogg that I could see so I zipped all them into one archive. I thought that some might like individual ones but I said screw it, I'll just post the whole shebang!

Let me know what you think.

I rooted my vibrant and like 2months it developed a dead pixel so i'm getting a replacement and have to send this one back...I unrooted it but will tmo know it was rooted and will they even check?

No and very likely no.

No, don't get worried, I sent mine in while it was rooted and they didn't make a fuss.

Great thanks.

Whats the best app to prevent other apps from autostarting? I know people argue that you should just let apps startup but some of them I never use and they startup by themselves and makes my phone laggy. So? Ive tried Startup Auditor but it doesn't show all the apps thats currently running.

Thanks

Startup Manager (requires root).

I am trying to change the boot animation on my X. I have pushed bootanimation.zip to both /data/local and /system/media using Terminal Emulator, adb push, and root explorer. All I'm getting is a black screen after the M logo. I was able to successfully change it to the red rage boot animation by pushing it to /system/media but the sizing was off and it didn't looks so good. But I have tried 2 different BA's and get the black screen. Do I need to modify something to make it compatible with the X? Below are the 2 I was trying to push.

[Droid X Themes and Apps] Explodee:
Am I the first one trying to make a boot animation for the X?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Mojorisen:
No. There's a thread @ AndroidForums about custom boot animations and working ones. Since my account is apparently "new", I'm unable to link to the thread. If you go to the Motorola Droid X forums, then to the "All things Root" thread, you'll see one started entitled "Custom Boot - Blue X takeover for root users."

Thanks but that guy is just skinning the original BA. I'm trying to put a completely different one one. I'll do some experimenting today while sitting at work I guess...

i know when making livewallpapers and what not the .png has to be certain dimensions and 24bit .

i would right click the png check properties and see if it says 32 if it does i believe the png cant be processed and will give a black screen.

only other thing i can think of is the desc.txt file which tells the phone how fast or w/e to show the pics. that i know little about.

edit: i believe though 8bit is ok for png, and it might be different i would check the properties of the original to see
[Droid X Themes and Apps] jdenman03:
this maybe stupid, but are you renaming them to bootanimation? they HAVE to be named that when you place them in the media folder in order for them to work!!

C'mon man, give me SOME credit...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Explodee:
HA GOT IT! When re-inserting (hehe) the files back into the bootanimation.zip, or when making a new zip, you need to set the compression to STORE. Then just drop it in /data/local with root explorer and you are good to go!

[Vibrant Accessories] Gr8gorilla:
I hate screen protectors. I really really really really do. But I can say that even though we have gorilla glass you should get a real look. My first Vibrant had a screen protector or two and I said who needs em. I had my nexus naked for six months without a single blemish........same day I took my sp off, I got a nasty scratch down the left side of the glass. Thing is my phone is in a body glove case, and I never put in a pocket with anything else.

You can get reallook for 11.00 for two protectors. They really do look like nothing is there. Much better than the clear freak. even when the screen is off.

From a guy who hates screen protectors, I say get one. You can never be too careful with a 500 phone.
[Vibrant Accessories] m3ta1head:
Gorilla glass isn't indestructible. A SP, especially one as unobtrusive as a realook, is probably a good idea just incase of some sort of disaster. That being said, this phone is pretty tough. I know a few people who have dropped their vibrants from iphone shattering heights and escaped unscathed, a testament to the excellent build quality and light weight of this device.
[Vibrant Accessories] Alkaloid:
I don't see the word "Vibrant" anywhere in that article. Did you do some further research and find out that they used the same gorilla glass in the vibrant as they did the I9000?

Also, I've had my vibrant for exactly a month now and I have been very, very careful with it. I've been handling it like a damn newborn baby, especially the first couple of weeks. Somehow, and I have no idea how, I got a small grouping of fairly deep scratches in my screen within the first few days of taking it out into the world. This is happened even though I was taking my sim card out and putting it in an old Moto Razr while at work (I haven't had an account with Tmo for a couple years and that's the last Tmo phone I had) and wrapping the thing in a soft cotton clothe while in my pocket.

I personally am a little skeptical of this gorilla glass or the fact that the vibrant even has it.

Patiently waiting for the white slider to be available. Also still waiting for SGP to respond to my inquiry. I still want to know if this case has been redesigned for the Vibrant/non Korean Galaxy S's. I'd really like a case without the antenna cutout.

The pictures on the website still show the Korean version of the case/phone. I hope they didn't just relabel these

[Vibrant Accessories] SSJ_Gomike:
So...

I just read this thread yesterday and thought "wow, that's awesome" and then today my "gorilla glass" screen got a big ass scratch on it.....
[Vibrant Accessories] VICosPhi:
That hurts...Did you get the scratch from regular use ? I've heard good things about gorilla glass...
[Vibrant Accessories] cthach11:
I went to the employee release (they gave out vibrants to everyone who attended) and samsung flaunted at the fact that the vibrant had gorilla glass. They even went as far as grabbing keys, nails, etc to test the screen...I'm surprised it was a small mystery after release. In fact, I thought everyone knew....
[Vibrant Accessories] tweaqslug:
I carry my vibrant in an otherwise empty pocket all the time and I still managed to get a small scratch just above the display area. $11 is a small price to pay for peace of mind.
[Vibrant Accessories] Blown 89:
I have a Realook and can't tell it's on there so I'll keep it just in case. If I could tell it is on there I'd take my chances but I can't so it's one more form of protection to cover an expensive investment.
[Vibrant Accessories] fykick:
Yeah, I keep my phone in a seperate pocket away from metal, and there is a small scratch on the glass...No idea how this happened...cuz the worst it could have come in contact was is keys(even then no pressure would of been applied in this scenario for the key to scratch) or the plastic edge from my other phones case. Should it of fallen the raised edges from the gel case would of kept the face off the floor, and in the two or three falls it didn't hit any sharp edges of any kind either.

So prob best to get protection regardless.
[Vibrant Accessories] sl0play:
I've managed to get an ever so small scratch as well. Didn't notice it till I was cleaning it thoroughly for a SP, but hard to believe this is some special glass considering I had been very careful with it.
[Vibrant Accessories] SugarMouth:
I purchased realook because of all the great feedback. I took it off within a minute. It made the screen have a rainbow color on it and when I read text it strained my eyes.

As soon as I peeled it off the screen was easy on my eyes.
[Vibrant Accessories] danr238:
I had a clearfreak for about 3 weeks and started thinking:

"If I always have a screen protector on it when will I ever get to enjoy my SAMOLED screen without it?"

I mean I know it's protected with a SP but why always have it covered and never get to see it in it's full glory. I don't know maybe it's just me. I would hate to scratch it but with a SP I would never get to enjoy it completely to it's maximum potential.
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
that and the feel of it is why i took mine off.

Going naked as the day i was born.
[Vibrant Accessories] HoOnZ:
You should have been more patient because the rainbow effect disappears overnight. The Realook screen protector is virtually invisible on my Vibrant .

Did a search and checked all FAQ's but i cant seem to find anyone with the same problem as me.

Phone keeps telling me i have no network but im getting 2-4 bars of signal. I cant go on the internet, youtube, facebook ect... unless i turn wifi on.

Phone details:

Im rooted and sim unlocked.

Im up in Canada, on the FIDO network

In the mobile network settings, it says EDGE, but i should be getting 3G.

TMO Vibrant SGH-T959

firmware 2.1 -update 1

kernal 2.6.29

Service state says "in service" but mobile network state says "disconnected"

For some reason im on roaming even if im no where near the border.

I have set data roaming to ON to see if internet would work but it didnt.

This is my first android phone and im very new to all the menu's and settings! Any help is appreciated!

Thanks! :D
[Vibrant General] podtrix:
TMO Vibrant SGH-T959

Fido

This explains all.

only Wind mobile uses AWS(1700/2100) same as T-mobile.

Their 3G phones don't work with Rogers(Fido)/Bell/Telus.
[Vibrant General] boravr6:
Ah man no way!!!

So there is nothing i can do to make this work then?
[Vibrant General] hkfan:
Best thing you can do is to switch to wind.

Right now they are giving 150$ porting credit also :)
[Vibrant General] raduque:
Make sure you also have a data package on your line, and change the APN to Fido's settings. You'll at least get the EDGE connection which is better than nothing.

Other option would be to sell the Vibrant and get a Captivate, which has Fido's 3G frequencies.
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
It should be possible for you to get 3G with FIDO since they use 1900 MHz and the Vibrant has a radio for that frequency

[Vibrant General] oc3rulz:
Get to your APN settings first

Menu ---> Settings --> Wireless and Network --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names. You should see T-Mobile US.

Then hit the Menu button again and select New APN. Enter this info into the respective fields

APN1

Name: fido internet

APN: internet.fido.ca

Username: fido

Password: fido

APN Type: default

(all other fields blank)

Enter everything here, I cannot guarantee this will work, as I do not have AT&T service. But it's more than what you got now. Make sure you go back to that menu and select this APN is the one you want to use.

DO NOT delete the T-Mobile one, as you may need it at a later time.

Hope this helps

Also if you have trouble with MMS: Try these in the messaging settings.

APN2 (for MMS and such)

Name: fido mms

APN: mms.fido.ca

[Vibrant General] dq13:
I was about to say... its a problem with APN settings, if you have internet service on your plan, then you should be able to go online at least with EDGE... its the same as getting an iphone for tmobile
[Vibrant General] oc3rulz:
you got it!
[Vibrant General] boravr6:
does the vibrant phone have the capacity to go 3G even if tmobile doesnt offer it?

All 4 SGS seem to have the exact same specs... So if ATT (captivate?) has 3g, the vibrant should be able to get it right?
[Vibrant General] dq13:
tmobile does offer 3g, it is just on a different band than the one from ATT, but for what has been going around these past few days, some have been successful using 3g vibrant from tmobile on ATT since there is at least one band that matches, coverage is not as great as with an original att phone, but works. I haven't tried it myself since I don't have an ATT SIM to try it
[Vibrant General] boravr6:
Where can i find what bands are used? I would like to compare what my fido carrier uses compared to TMO and ATT for 3G network.
[Vibrant General] oc3rulz:
AT&T uses 850/1900 for 3G

T-Mobile uses 1700(AWS)/2100

I know wikipedia has the whole list of all the carriers but most Canadian providers use AT&T bands including Rodgers/Fido.

If I remember correctly only Wind uses TMobile bands
[Vibrant General] boravr6:
You sir.... are a god among men!!! :D :eek: :D

IT WORKED!!!

Now i need to track down ATT users to find out what they did to get onto the 3G !!!

ty so much 0c3rulez!!! /bow!
[Vibrant General] oc3rulz:
Not a problem at all, glad I could help.

Do you not have 3G on Fido?

*EDIT* I just checked Fido Bands. They are 850/1900 as well. So you are most likely in an area that uses 850(which the Vibrant doesnt have) like AT&T. If you travel around see if 3G pops up in other places.
[Vibrant General] boravr6:
Usually when im in the basement my iphone doesnt get 3g... but if i lay it flay on my desk and dont touch it... sometimes it will pick it up.

So i took my vibrant out for a drive yesterday just to see if i would pick up 3g and i didnt...... BUT...

Woke up this morning and found the 3g logo on with my phone being on my desk in the basement.... like my iphone! :D

Good sign! Today im taking the vibrant out as my "daily driver" for the first time (with my simless iphone in my pocket as backup lol)

Ill let you guys know my findings tonight.
[Vibrant General] cparekh:
I think you totally got it, but just to be clear for others reading this thread, your Vibrant will work some of the time on 3G and some of the time on Edge when using the Fido network.

The Vibrant receives 3 different 3G frequencies: 1700/1900/2100.

Fido uses 2 different 3G frequencies: 850/1900.

Some Fido areas have only 850, some have only 1900, and some have both. If you are in an area that has 1900, then your Vibrant will get 3G. Wind uses 1700/2100, so it better serves your Vibrant.

On the other hand, the Captivate will receive 3G in two different bands: 850/1900. This means that when used on Fido, it will always work in 3G (where available). If it were used on the Wind network, it would always operate on Edge.

Note that all of this requires setting the carrier-appropriate APN, which you have already done for Fido.
[Vibrant General] boravr6:
^^^

WOW .. that clarifies EVERYTHING! Thanks so much for posting that.

Which also explains why today i saw jumps from 3g to edge ect...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
It could be the contacts on the phone. Have you tried different cables and ROMs? If it continues with both it is more than likely a bad port on the phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afxtwn:
When I first read that I was thinking how the hell could my contacts list affect my cable :confused:

Heh, Its more than likely the rom because the phone will charge just fine when its off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
In that case it sounds like the ROM. Are you running a custom kernel?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afxtwn:
Yes. Both installed after a full factory reset.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
I would first try a different kernel. If that fails try a ROM. I think it has a better chance of being a faulty kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afxtwn:
I didnt know there were really choices in Kernels, Ive only seen 1?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
Sure there are many. Just look over in the development section. There are almost as many as ROMs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sombdy:
I've been running Fresh and Netarchy's kernel without issue, so I wouldn't say it's the ROM.

I hate to suggest it but I would try a reinstall of both. Although, first try a wipe data of the cache, dalvik-cache, and battery stats and see if that does not fix it (no need to wipe data or reset). Also be sure to use Amon Ra's recovery and not ClockworkMod which has been known to not wipe fully and causes issues with flashing new ROMs and kernels.

If the wipe does not work, try the reinstall. Factory reset and wipe everything twice (again use Amon Ra recovery). Flash the ROM, and then flash the kernel. Reboot.
