Rooting doesn't wipe your phone, I ran unRevoked 3.0 on mine from linux and it doesn't destroy everything on your phone, just gives you root access. from there you can boot into clockworkmod and choose nandroid backup, this will back everything up as it is. there are guides to do this all over the forum, hope this helps!

if i have anything wrong, feel free to correct me people :P
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Yep root does not wipe your phone, you can do a nandroid backup and dl titanium backup from market to backup all your apps.
[Wildfire General] LeandroMarceddu:
Wow I am 101% I have read it would wipe everything. Thanks for clearing this all out. I'm gonna try this all. I will edit this post when I find the website responsible for giving the false info. Thanks both!

EDIT: lifehacker.com/5563527/back-up-your-entire-android-phone-to-the-cloud

"Then again, to get your phone rooted, you'll need to wipe it entirely, so it's something of a Catch 22. "

Weird, seeing how lifehacker usually is trustworthy.

I'm using a kingston 2 gb micro sd card and when I finish the sd card windows keeps saying that its corrupted and needs to be formatted. Im using Hex Editor replacing lines 000000 through 000170. :confused:

What do you mean "when I finish the SD card" ?

When it says to format, why are you using a hex editor. I Aww why you said you're confused, I mean whoa.

[HTC Aria General] djhaku:
I've had my HTC Aria for about 2 weeks now and I have constantly been switching between Liberated and CM roms trying to solve my problem. I'm experiencing trouble with mainly GPS apps or any apps that require downloading to SD. I've switched between CoPilot and Sygic because of this. GPS apps once installed and set up (added favourites,edited settings, etc), keep reverting back to its initial state when you first install it (where it asks to activate, etc) and apps that download keep downloading those files over and over again even if it says its completed. Any idea what could be causing this problem? It's quite annoying especially with GPS apps not saving my favourites.
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
I was having the same problems until I realized its because I was moving the apps to SD. Try moving them back to the phone. It worked for me. This doesnt happen with all my apps, but the ones it did happen to I moved back to the phone and all these problems went away.
[HTC Aria General] djhaku:
I'm not too sure if I can do that (or know how to). I havn't touched moving apps yet. and my SD card doesn't have ext2/3 for a2sd to be activated. =\

Hi, i don't really post here i just tend to lurk around whenever i need help :p and so im now posting needing help.

So i have a nexus one and have done since release, i immediatle unlocked it and installed the modaco desire ROM which i used until this point. Mainly because i was too lazy to go find a 2.2 ROM. But yesterday my desire ROM seemed to kill itself and so instead if simply re-flashing it i decided to come here and ask you guys for help on choosing its replacement.

I am not some super technical i wanna mod the hell out of it kinda person. I simply want the same good features the desire rom had but on froyo.

The main things i really want are:

7 screens

lots of widget options, prefrably the HTC widgets (<3 that clock)

good battery life (desire ROM seemed to take up a lot more power than the default n1 ROM did.)

black status bar (black > white :D)

and of course i want it to be stable :)

I feel kinda bad to ask this here since most the people on these forums seem to really know what they are doing but i also guessed this is my best choice.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcespon:
In Samsung Program monitor, in Summary tab, there are 127 MB for "personal data", which among other things I see that stores the browser cache. This is part of the 512 MB of SLC flash on the phone?. Because it's going to have a lot of writes.

What else is stored here? Most programs seem to store their cache or data on the 2 GB partition on the internal SD card.

And second, if we have a 128 MB partition on the SLC flash for temporary files, why do we need a ramdisk?

Samsung could really stop introducing so many layers and let more free RAM for system. The OS knows how to cache files from storage, it has been done that way for decades.

I have had it happen, deleted about 95% of all my pics, and i had well over 300 :mad:

I noticed it when I first started themeing, i think it was cause from the constant plugging in and un plugging of the usb cord. Sometimes i would tell it to go into charge only mode, but when i plugged it in again it would be in mass storage mode.

have you been doing that a lot?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ewok666:
There are a few threads on the various Froyo releases, their features bugs etc. but nothing that touches on Froyo's GPS issues specifically.

I'd like to know whether anyone has successfully changed the 'look ahead' behavior that all the Froyo firmwares come with so far.

For those who have not experienced, i.e. not YET noticed this 'feature', here is a brief description:

On Froyo the GPS is showing you exactly where you are even while driving at speed. There is no delay whatsoever. All is well while you are going in a straight line.

The problems begin when you either stop abruptly or take a sharp turn. It then takes the GPS up to a few seconds to come to terms with what just happened. I can only assume this is due to some software component 'smoothing' the path by making up positions, i.e. looking ahead.

I uninstalled JPH and JPK. GPS doesn't do me any good when I see myself still driving down the same road after I took a right turn 5 seconds ago. JM8 and a number of other Eclair firmwares do not suffer from this.

Has anyone successfully 'downgraded' the GPS component of Froyo? Is this even possible? Is there a way to disable the 'look ahead'.....somewhere hidden in settings or some hidden menu?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Did you turn on the "Use Sensor Aiding" feature? That's new in Froyo. Try turning that off. It's in the Location menu.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ewok666:
Thanks. I thought I had that disabled. Is this on by default? I'll give that a try next time I load a Froyo firmware....if there was a quick way to nandroid back without an Odin restore, EFS fixup plus all the Voodoo conversions that would be sooner rather than later ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Arkanius:
The default is off

It greatly helps when it's on I think
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ewok666:
Isn't it meant to aid while walking? I can see that this may be causing when driving.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
Well, there is absolutely no reason this option to decrease performance.. At least shouldnt be, unless Samsung screwed something up as usual. (which actually may be the case)

I had mine set to "off" by default. There is next to no difference while driving.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ewok666:
As I said in the OP, I've always had the issue that GPS took seconds to realize that I changed direction or suddenly stopped. I'm just guessing that something that is intended to help stabilize GPS at slow speeds (walking, swimming with the dog, etc.) might cause a similar effect while travelling in a car.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
swimming with the dog? :D I shat bricks ;d

Anyway, yes that right. Since its like phone is calculating from the sensor (compass, g-sensor -> speculating here) reads the approximate direction and pace you are moving at. It *might* be a problem with g-sensor read, becouse I find it quite flaky (using gps testing utilities exposes its terrible lag and low sensitivity)

BTW is it better after disabling it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ewok666:
Well, there was a guy in another thread who claimed his Galaxy GPS was spot on. To proof that he uploaded a track of his walk with the dog and it clearly went right through the river a couple of times........I thought THAT was hilarious! ;-)

I might flash Froyo once again and play with that setting......still hoping that the Galaxy CAN do acceptable GPS. :-|
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bilboa1:
i'm mostly happy with the gps software on JPK (compared to JM8 which was already better than "official")

but the lag you're speaking about is killing me. there's waaay too much delay. sure it makes nice recorded tracks, but using it you'll see its crap:(

going to try my track with aiding stuff off tomorrow although im not sure its going to help
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kylechen:
Well i am using JPK and the MOTONAV is running......ok, but i got "GPS LOST SIGNAL" every 10 minutes and the map jump around, after 10 seconds it will find signal again and back on track. anoying.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ewok666:
I borrowed an iphone 4 to test that thing's GPS and compare it to the Galaxy.

I have attached the Horror kml track file. It's no better, if not worse, than the Froyo stuff. I certainly did NOT expect that!

The kml can be viewed with Google earth and other GPS programs.....

And for the record....I did drive ON the road at all times ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NetCopAD:
There is a new trend obviously. The more expensive the phone, the more messed up the GPS. LOL

What a total fail for the high-end devices these days.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bilboa1:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ewok666:

Maybe they looked at the iPhone and thought it was a great 'feature'.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stan28:
Oh man, if 2.2 firmware didn't get the GPS issues resolved, then it's pretty much useless for me. I'm happy with the overall phone as it is, minus the GPS issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MoWa22:
The GPS issues will NEVER be resolved - it's a hardware problem. You probably just won't ever get Samsung to admit it, now they try those lame "sensor aiding" dirty fixes, but that's just another proof that it's a hardware problem - why else would they spend time doing the sensor aiding?

EDIT: I hope Samsung proves me wrong :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrewluecke:
PROVE IT!!! You are presenting hypothesis as fact, and that might be acceptable in places such as Digg, but it is inappropriate on developer websites.

Also, how do you know that sensor aiding required much much work? After all, it's predictable polling from already working/predictable sensors, unlike GPS sensors which pick up a fuzzy idea of where you are, is affected by satellite coverage, etc.

Sensor aiding can assist even GOOD GPS receivers indoors, tunnels and in areas where signal can drop (heavy trees, huge skyscrapers). Yes, even on Garmin units, this can be handy. We all know that the faster you travel the greater inaccuracies which are incurred, and this can help reduce inaccuracies in those scenarios. There are plenty of reasons to implement this functionality, and not all point towards bad hardware. Samsung probably has a few groups of programmers being thrown at different problems, because programmers aren't scalable, and there is a limit to the number of developers which can work on a specific issue/bug/improvement.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MoWa22:
I can't prove it - but I can use my brains to put together the circumstantial evidence. Sorry if that isn't good enough for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrewluecke:
You SAID "The GPS issues will NEVER be resolved - it's a hardware problem", and spreading random rumors like that makes XDA appear unprofessional, and benefits nobody. I've just simply noticed a recent trend towards guesses being slowly changed to fact here in XDA developers, and I'd like to try to reduce the frequency of that happening
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dcc22:
all 2.2 firmwares are BETA. there is a reason why they delayed to end of october
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MoWa22:
I made an edit right after posting, but I guess you should be able to tell that it's not an official Samsung statement. I guess I'm entitled to have my own opinion, I'm very sorry if you can't distinguish it from an official Samsung statement.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darkoroje:
This is not my experience. My iPhone 4 works flawlessly with TomTom navigation. In fact the main reason I am carrying it around is because I can't use GPS on the Galaxy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ewok666:
That's pretty meaningless isn't it? I'm not debating whether Tomtom works or not. Look at the track. That is the raw data that is presented to the app, the actual locations GPS reports back every second. The point was that the iphone is 'predicting' the path just as much (or more) than the Galaxy on Froyo.

You might conclude, if this is the case and Tomtom works fine on the iphone, that the GPS app can be programmed to deal with this accordingly and that Tomtom does this correctly and Copilot does not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrewluecke:
And I'm VERY sorry you initially blatantly lied, initially tried to present your guess as fact to add credence to your post and later was forced to post a sarcastic, weasalish apology to pass the blame

I have to agree with ewok on this.. The reality is, a LOT of post-processing happens on most GPS units, and yes, the track actually looks worse than the tracks we get on the SGS. Either way, we'll have to see what Samsung does. Because of the fuzzy nature of GPS though, we can probably never expect perfect tracks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darkoroje:
All I can tell you is that both TomTom and Google maps work flawlessly on the iphone while they are all over the place on the Galaxy. That is all I care about as and end user.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MoWa22:
I didn't lie. Prove me wrong. I've made my claim, and I'll repeat it: the hardware part of the GPS in the Samsung Galaxy S is defective and will never be fixed by software. That's my claim. It's not a lie - but it might be wrong. You can't distinguish claims from lies or official statements.

Not wasting anymore time on you - you're not worth it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] milsjg:
Well "the hardware part of the GPS in the Samsung Galaxy S is defective and will never be fixed by software" is a statement not a claim. It is your statement. If it was anything else you should have started with "I believe", "I guess", "I think" etc.
