May be you are right. I am running stock firmware. I hope samsung will fix this issue with froyo update. I guess we can suggest these changes on twitter or something. that is what I read some where that you can reach samsung & suggest then some thing on twitter they were very active ob twitter promoting this galaxy series.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
I left my phone off the charger last night for 7 hours. With 16GB microSD card in and cameras are always set to save to external microSD card as well all my podcasts and movies are on the SD card as well. GMail sync, weather sync (every 3 hours) are both on. My phone battery dropped only 5%. And I'm running latest JH7 firmware. So, it is safe to say there is no battery drain on external SD card in JH7 firmware.
[Captivate General] Ikonomi:
I'd love to try running this with no SD, but my lag fix is there... Ugh, I wonder if it worked be worth the experiment.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
If your lag fix partition is on your external SD card, you will no doubt add extra battery drain to your phone because your external SD card will be accessed a lot while your phone is on.

Hey all

I've tried to use a ruu to unroot for warranty reasons also I even tried to accept an ota from an odex'd 1.47 Rom but I get a signature error when I try and flash the ota update and I get a usb error no matter what with the ruu I have all the drivers installed..... any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albaholic:
There are a few PC36IMG.zip files you can put on your SD card and go into HBOOT to flash it.

They're all over the place. kind of hard to find.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eck0728:
do you have a link by chance I have no luck with search :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albaholic:
I'll try looking for one. What SW version are you using?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eck0728:
I found a guide that shows how to get the Rom.zip from a ruu so ill do that for now thanks for all the help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Defpdp:

Does anyone know of a good app that you can search and purchase songs to download right from the phone? I have used Amazon but it doesn't allow me to download purchased music from the phone
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
You could use music junk
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corybucher:
Thanks ill check it out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corybucher:
Looks like the did away with music junk, any other suggestions would be appreciative. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vballboarder:
I don't think it shows up in the market, but I searched google and found the apk. you could try it that way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corybucher:
Thanks found it and it works better than expected.
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
what's the best? And why? I tried google's and it works but its too simple, I tryed ndrive too.
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
you say too simple like it's a bad thing

google navigation ftw (IMO)
[Vibrant General] d_bot:
try CoPilot Live.......

but seriously for FREE bucks you can't beat Google Nav.....

Thanks Google :)
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
Lol thanks coper, I was reading the comments for copilot but didn't like them, btw I live on or in usa
[Vibrant General] ProximaC:
The only thing Google Nav is missing is the ability to do waypoints so you can add stops, or just customize your route. Other than that, it's the bee's knees.
[Vibrant General] Shrivel:
Google....
[Vibrant General] Digital_Warrior:
Google can not beat free
[Vibrant General] gthmcty1:
google= FREE= pretty damn good for free!!
[Vibrant General] cashless:
You can KINDA do waypoints with a "My Map". Thats what I do on my trips.

The only feature that I really miss from GMaps/Nav is side loading pre-created map tiles/Cached maps. I wanna be able to use GMaps outside the US without incurring data fees.
[Vibrant General] joshthewaster:
You guys using google- what do you do when you don't have service? I tried this for the first time, got to my destination fine but the couldn't route to anywhere else.

Edit: lucky it was a trial run and I knew where I was and how to get home.
[Vibrant General] z0phi3l:
Sorry but I don't go anywhere where there isn't at least some coverage there a few spots but it will only last a mile or two before I get a signal back

If you are driving through many areas without cell coverage you will need a regular GPS
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
Not necessarily. There are standalone apps like CoPilot that store the maps on the phone. You don't need a cell signal for those.
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
I know googles one I a great well because its free and it works but what meant was whats the best out there? Im willing to pay for it lol ;)
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
Take a look here:

http://mobile.jack-frost.co.uk/android_sat_nav_apps.php

Which one is "best" is going to vary from person to person.
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
That's a really good point actually, I hadn't thought

I'll be lurking this thread. Haa
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
I've been tempted several times to purchase CoPilot because the software seems excellent, but I've heard bad things about their maps being outdated. Since the map data is a pretty big chunk of what you're paying for I've been hesitant to pull the trigger. Google Navigation is fine for now...until I need to go somewhere without cell reception, that is.
[Vibrant General] dalepa:
With the current state of the Vibrant GPS, they all SUK.

google maps is #1 by a mile. and now with google walk as of today's update
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
Only problem is that Google Nav doesn't work without a cell signal, so in my eyes it's not a complete solution. It does work well, though.
[Vibrant General] joshthewaster:
Yeah I think it works awesome, when I have service. Problem is when I'm on road trips I often find myself without service and that's when I need service. Doesn't come up all the time but when it does it would be nice to have gps.
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
Thanks dex, ill check that out, man I love this haha I been playing with it all day first was a road test which worked great, I cant bealive how occurted it is, at home I look for my location, its like 3 houses away, not blocks (new york) I vome from the original iphone, had for years so I'm impressed, thanks for the comments
[Vibrant General] nanim0n:
google nav isnt on point to me..off by couple hundred feet.. or maybe its jus the gps signal... it got me lost.. and it doesnt say which side your destination is at

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RDT:
Wheel 0.4.3

Let me introduce you my new platform game for Windows Mobile, playable at Pocket PC 2002 and above (yes, really). I’m not a big fan of apps that works on one display resolution only, so the game is screen resolution independent (you can play on QVGA or WQVGA), however it looks best on the HVGA, VGA and WVGA screens.

The most important is that you can press more than one virtual button on you classic resistive screen (as it was capacitive), which makes this type of game comfortably playable even without hardware buttons. Nice, isn’t it? :)

What is the game itself all about? You control small robotic wheel (which was actually wooden in non-public releases :D) chased by devil from outer space (or something like that) who wants your score :D (but not you life). Score is obtained by collecting yellow stars.

There are no levels, there are dimensions. In each dimension, you have to found interdimensional gateway, which takes you to the new dimension, similar to the previous one, or to completely different. Red arrow accelerates the devil (red aura), green arrow slows down him. Green sprout accelerates your wheel (blue aura), but only for limited time. Also, in the beginning of every dimension, you will get little bit of extra speed, just like when you die and are resurrected.

To save your game, use X -> SAVE. In main menu, use CG to continue.

The game is not yet entirely completed (and I’m not fully convinced if it is worth finishing since Windows Phone 7 are coming). Even so, let me know of any problems, ideas or thoughts. I don’t promise anything, but it could help to make the game better.

Note: I know it's ironic, but the multitouch effect can't work on HTC HD2 because of it's real capacitive screen.

Note 2: The game does NOT use any "multi-touch SDK", as stated here (I don't know why the author wrote it).

The game is completely free for your personal use, although it can be downloaded from the following site ONLY (I know it's annoying, but be fair and respect it):

DOWNLOAD

I hope I haven't forgotten anything and that you will enjoy the game ;).

(As you probably noticed, english is not my native language so I’m sorry if I have written anything funny :D.)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] firetiger:
AWESOME GAME!!! :D Works great on my GSM treo pro. No lag and the multitouch is really nice. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] matspe:
Yes, it's really cool !!!

thx !!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Morghoth:
Thanks for your hard work! Nice game...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] janneman22:
nice. but please keep a graphical update in mind :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xeirwn:
I tried your game on my XDA Flame (VGA with WM5).

Must say I'm impressed -especially with the multitouch. Too bad we dont see this in other games! :(

I'd like a bit faster scrolling and some in-game sound or tune..

Keep up good work plz!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RDT:
Thank you all for your positive reactions, I am sincerely delighted and a little bit surprised :).

I know about poor graphic. I’m not very good at creating it :). If there is anyone who wants to help me, I’m enclosing the main graphics files. Transparent color is magenta (R = 255, G = 0, B = 255).

If someone creates something, post it here and I will try to build the game with it :D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pOOBAH1973:
Good that i still have my Toshiba E830. ;) Will try it tomorrow.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bugsykoosh:
it looks great. One problem on the HD2 - since it is capacitive instead of pressing both keys you need to utilize the resisteive multitouch trick you impoy. in other words, to do multitouch on the HD2 you need to single touch between the two directions you want to go which is actually a little confusing in practice because you need to remember the variables. it does seem to be pretty nice otherwise.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mactang:
nice game, good design for control:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
Very, very strong arcade feeling ;)

Graphics may not be top notch, but it fits perfectly with the kind of game, my only glitch is that, no matter my HD2 being obviously multitouch capable, I still cannot press two buttons at the same time... maybe it's because I have LMT installed which "steals" multitouch from the game?

@bugsykoosh

just read your post, nevermind :) I can play by pressing the middle area, yes it is somehow harder to get the hang of it,m but after that, it kicks in my genetic adversity for arcade games, I die no matter what :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RDT:
Thanks for testing on HD2. I don't know why I didn't get i sooner, but it naturally can't work on real capacitive screen of HD2. I'll add it into the first post...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] janneman22:
i could give it a try.

But first i will play your game :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Thanks!

Thank you very much for your game, RDT!

It is really the kind of games I like to have on my Touch HD: simple but addictive!

I've created a post for your game on a french website by translating your post to french.

I've respected your choice not to create any mirror download link, and people will have to download it from your website.

Again, thank you very much!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RDT:
You're probably in the last dimension, the hardest one :). I created a video showing how to complete it ;).

2 michoob: Thanks for writing about my game, I really appreciate it :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kongocui:
The game is a platform where we help our wheeled robot to travel through dimensions and avoid obstacles and enemies.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] janneman22:
i guess you have to think about a good story of this game. For example: a little dragon that tries to escape from his bad father or something like that. Make a nice story, and that will be the begin of a nice game:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akshay2000:
But, when you say I can tap onm two places, do you really mean it? I mean, I am using it on HTC Gene as well as HD2. Double touch not working on HD2 is fine. But I can't make two touches on my Gene too. What's wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lacszo:
dakujem - thanx

gr8t stuff
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akshay2000:
Playing this game almost after year and a half. Nostalgic. Great work! For those who are curious, I have still maintained my Gene along with the other devices.

I am also looking for game which don't have level. Its really a nice game.

Hey guys... i need a help.

After 1 year of using my sweet lil' blackstone something started happening on my screen. Seems like a water or something occured in my display. I'm not pretty sure how could this happen because it never has been drop into water or rained on it. Any ideas how to get rid of it?
[Touch HD General] SingaporeAirlines:
I have the same problem. I believe it's called "Newton's Rings" but someone will probably be more informed about it.
[Touch HD General] 4ntonios:
newton rings

OK ;) now we know what is this thing called... but no way to remove it? any ideas how to get rid of it?
[Touch HD General] soneg84:
I got same thing, but very huge (80% of screen).

After some time my digitizer messed up. don't know what to do.... help!!!
[Touch HD General] lukesan:
Check if you have 2 years warranty which normally HTC gives.

Open a ticket for strange rings underneath the display. Big chance HTC will install a new display for free.
[Touch HD General] 4ntonios:
well... that's sad my warranty has passed. any other ideas or solutions?
[Touch HD General] dontavo:
You need to change the touch. (not the whole display)

I had a Diamond with the same problem. This problem appeared because of heavy use of the display - it stretched and since there is no support in that area it now touches the screen (this is why you see those water marks).

Sorry for giving you bad news

Here's hwow to solve the problem - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=677394

But I suggest you go to a professional if you have not done this before
[Touch HD General] lukesan:
Wow, are you sure about that???

The Touch HD was launched end of October 2008 which is less than 2 years ago.

I believe you are from Tsjechië which is part of the EU.

I think this the statement in your language on the HTC website.

Tato Omezená záruka je poskytována dvacet čtyři (24) měsíců

Sounds very cool, depending on what windows "mobile" 7 is gonna turn out like.:)
[HD2 General] M3PH:
Windows 7 is already out and looks very cool! It has been around for a year. I'm guessing you mean windows phone 7. It is important to get these things right ;)

I just actually read the link and i have to say i need to change my shorts but i do have a question - how do they plan to cool a 1.5GHz dual core CPU? because - for the uneducated - that is 1.5GHz per core! effectively making it a 3GHz chip but if they can pull it off and some clever chef can put port WM 6.5 that device is going to rule the market for a very long time
[HD2 General] flyaway9000:
yeh specs look very good but its still windows...it would be interesting to see what happens..... but i wont make the same mistake again :)
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
Quacomm delayed this processor to the end of 2011 so this is all fake
[HD2 General] DaveCNewton:
I'm a bit annoyed that i signed up for a 24 month contract this year, not even anticipating the release of the HD7!
[HD2 General] Airborne Aircrew:
Surely the "not even anticipating" part of your post negates the "I'm a bit annoyed" bit... :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] HyperNode:
First of all 1.5ghz dual core does not mean its 3ghz. What it means is it can do tasks at the sometime clocked at 1500mhz each. As you say its very important to vet this things right ;)

Now I am little ticked of that it won't be out in USA. My guess was dual core 1.3ghz with 1gb ram and HD recording which is standard with 8mp cam. Also not a big fan of WM7 as it seems some what childish. I mean WTF was M$ thinking? I really hope HTC Sense hide that ugly 4 square sector that alone scares me.
[HD2 General] M3PH:
Sorry that was my mistake i meant to say it was effectively 1.5ghz a core meaning it has an effective total clock speed of 3GHz.

It's amazing what dumb things i can say after a few beers :D
[Captivate General] dajeoo:
I had this conversation with a samsung support tech earlier today, you can make your own deductions but i think we are screwed because according to him the epic launched with the GPS fix already applied and as we all know from recent posts and videos the accuracy is still ****.....

Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.

You are now chatting with 'Dan'

Dan: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?

Dan: How may I help you?

Visitor: hi Dan, i have a captivate from ATT and the gps is terrible, is there a fix that is coming because i am really tempted to return this phone

Dan: I understand that you need to have update about GPS.

Dan: I am sorry for inconvenience caused to you.

Dan: Our support team as been working on issue with GPS.

Dan: We will have GPS update fixed by end if september.

Visitor: was the epic 4g or the fascinate launched with fix already applied to the gps ?

Dan: We have Epic released but we do not have any customers with GPS issue.

Visitor: so thge answer would be yes the fix is applied to the epic ?

Dan: To be honest yes.

Dan: However we will have GPS issue fixed.

Visitor: i have a freind with the epic and the gps is still terrible but from what you are telling me it's fixed.

Dan: I am sorry for inconvenience caused.

Visitor: ok, thanks for your time

Dan: We have many customers with Epic , but we did not have any issue with GPS.

Dan: Once we have update released it will be OTA,

Visitor: ok

Dan: Update will fix the issue.

Dan: Please let me know if I can be of any further help.

Visitor: that's it, thank you

Dan: You're most welcome.

Dan: It was a pleasure assisting you. Thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support.
[Captivate General] Terrigno:
According to the way that guy conversates, I wouldnt take much of what he said into consideration lol.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I have worked for Tech giant manufacturers (more then one) - and I know for a fact that the tech support people (usually 1st through 3rd level) have no idea about fixes or releases. They are not told until after things are out.

The idea that any of these guys would know that GPS in Epic is fixed, or was released with the fix that other Galaxy S phones are waiting for is doubtful.

Until an official statement is made, I won't believe anything I hear from anyone in Samsung support. Their job is to log an issue, be nice to the customer, and fix something if they can.

So why worry about it at all until some official notification comes out? If GPS is still broken, we can take our phones back as they are not meeting basic functionality requirements - if that is what people want to do.
[Captivate General] Dxtra:
Two months in and no GPS fix. I will reconsider before I buy a Samsung phone ever againg. Product support suck.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:

[Captivate General] smokestack76:
God you people cry way too much. Why does gps on your phone bother you so much? I am a truck driver and need directions EVERY DAY. But unlike you i guess i have the ability to read a map. And even with sketchy gps it gets me in the general direction i gotta go. Stop all the crying already. Want great GPS get a damn gps unit. I have a few i will sell you since i dont use them anymore. And return your worthless phones. Rant /off
[Captivate General] PuffinNugz:
GPS on the Samsung Eternity worked great. Wonder what the difference is.
[Captivate General] jeromekobriger:
Am I missing something? My GPS works great, I've had no problems at all. If there's anything I can provide somehow to help you guys, let me know.

Hell, I've even gotten a good signal sitting in my living room; on Google maps it even showed my location in my house properly.

If there are files or something I can pull from my phone for you, I'll do what I can.
[Captivate General] Tryptonite:
This is so true, agree 100%. Plus, I think you kind of led him to say that the Epic had the fix by you actually mentioning it. He said yes and that was pretty much it.
[Captivate General] Justinph5:
Agreed, anything outside of a building and the GPS works great. I've been using it to geocache, and also have a boating gps app installed and used it flawlessly this past weekend. I can drive anywhere in my car and the GPS will not lose me once.

The only time I get a long signal search is after a week of not using the GPS function, then it takes only about 30 sec's to lock on.
[Captivate General] dajeoo:
Smokestack, I don't know about you but when I purchase a product I like when everything works. That's why I bought it, why put a non functioning gps and by the way, I am a private pilot so I read a lot more complexed maps than you, I dont follow interstates, I follow victor airways...
