[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Volis:
Hi guys,

I have some trouble with GPS, it's take very very very long time to establish appropriate connection to some satellites. On Windows mobile there was app which download data about positions satellites from INTERNET and speed up the connection process. Then have exist some this solution for android platform? and one more thing, have some soft which can show satellites connected etc (not need any navigation or compass just some thing for verify)..

Any ideas?

Search for "gps.config"!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nuclearfissure:
Download tis app called gps status...you can download satellites thru its settings or you can reset ur gps data in it...downloading agps data dramatically improves locking speed..check it out...hope it helps :)

I am having issues with some builds sometimes to get a fix.

Some android builds make WM GPS not to fix anymore even. The only way to make it work on WM again is to re-flash your radio and not run android again (Android seems to do something to the GPS that makes it stop working on WM).

Perhaps I am wrong but this is my observation.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Volis:
Yep looks that.. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] buzzmaan:
Thanks, it worked very well for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dusty_nz:
I have also raised this question previously.

With GPS's there are two additional technologies that help with speeding up a lock.

The first often known as QuickGPS. Normally when you GPS finally find its first satellite it needs to download a lot of satellite information including where all the other satellites are in relationship. This can take a minute or so and if it is interrupted will need to restart. Thats why you get a quicker lock when stationary versus moving. What QuickGPS does is download this information via the internet and store it locally.

The second is A-GPS. When your GPS starts it is listening trying to find anyone of over 30 satellites. This can take time. Once it find one satellite it then needs to repeat for another 2 before being able to identify where it is and what other satellites are in the area (From Step 1). What A-GPS does is find out where you are via cell sites etc. Once it has an approx location it then refers to the QuickGPS data to then workout what satellites are in the area. In then proceeds to only try to lock on local ones which is a lot quicker.

All the fixes for the HD2 gps relate to updating the NTP server setting in the GPS conf file. The current setting is fine however refers to an american time server. End of the day it is still going to give you a time sync to within a few milliseconds. Refering to a local NTP (Time Server) will give the exact same data.

Waste of time.

I believe the slow GPS lock is due to one of these technogies not working. I suspect it is a-GPS however have yet to confirm either way that the GPD data is being downloaded and saved in the right place.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Volis:
Yes, I thinking primary about the fist option QuickGPS.. I was able on my HD2 wit win get the GPS lock for 7-10 satelelites in let then 30 second.. without that 5-10 minutes, then I thing is very userfull to have it somehow working on android too..

3 Simple Question's about the Samsung Galaxy 3 (i5800)

Hi, Is it or will it ever be possible to zoom on street view on google maps for windows mobile like you can on the iphone?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Agent Zach:
Yes, Street View is an option in Google Maps for Windows Mobile.

If Street View is available for the area you're looking for, simply Tap & Hold on the area {on the map}. Once Google finds the address you've selected, tap on the Address Bubble that appears.

A new context menu will pop up with such options:

♦ Get Directions

♦ Street View

♦ What's Nearby

♦ Add Star {Favorite Location}

♦ Send as Text Message {Send Coordinates}

♦ Search Nearby

I hope this helps. :)

I use the app noLED. Works pretty well. Found it in the market.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplanowestx:
I personally don't care for that app. It's okay idea, but what really needs to get done is samsung to implement the Notifications into the buttons. I've seen what the i9000 has done, it's not too bad. This has been posted many times, you might want to try the search button :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhonal89:
When I used to noLED I would press the volume buttons and it would give me the volume sound and light up the screen but still on black. So I predicted it would kill my battery quicker.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSneakerWhore:
NoLED is a PITA...it adds another layer of lockscreens/button-touches to get your notifications, thus I didn't care for it much. It also FC'd on me all the time...YMMV.

Someone will most likely get the button led flash to work one day, just be patient.

surprised this hasn't already been implemented for the vibrant. if it's already done on the captivate isn't it just a matter of time for someone to port the code over?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplanowestx:
Reason it hasn't been implemented got the vibrant its because your talking a whole new kernel build... Along with that the current implementations of it, from what I read prior, aren't too fond of battery life and they can't make it blink like a led would do. The buttons backlight just stays on. I don't know if that has changed any time recently but thats what it was like the previous time I looked it up.

Wallpaper Unblurry "Trick"

I was a little confused when trying to use a nice photograph as a wallpaper as well until I realized that when I go to set wallpaper, the box you use to select the region of the image to use for the wallpaper is actually resizable. Just drag the corner of that box to make it larger, and the image won't be blurry.

I don't think that this is a problem with the screen or any of the phone hardware, but rather Samsung's software scaling of images.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spookdogg:
I am aware that you can adjust the crop for wallpapers... so I guess my issue is more with zooming in on a photo to see more detail and it becoming very blurry.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spookdogg:
Thanks for the insight and additional research ideas. I will try flikie as well

************

Update:

Oddly, when I use flikie to set wallpaper it gives message that the wallpaper is set, but its the default twiz "grass blades", not my photo. Annoying. Also no option to choose crop size.

Hope there's better gallery included in updates.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Does anyone know the specific read and write megabytes per second limitations of our cpu's? More specifically i am wondering if we would benefit from a class 10 or if anything beyond a class 6 or are we wasting our money cuz the phone's cpu cant match the read and write speeds of a class 10. Also does anyone know how accurate sd card speed tester app is? I used it and it said with the stock class 2 sd card that it was reading 13mb per sec and writing 7mb per sec. If that is accurate then to my knowledge We would benefit from atleast a class 6 or higher.
[Epic 4G General] scriz:
I've looked for specs on this as well, but can't find anything, just that the max size supported is 32gb microsdhc. ;\ Would you really want to spend the money on a Class 10 card, though? $90 bucks for 16gb? No danke.
[Epic 4G General] done12many2:
The CPU itself would not be the limiting factor.
[Epic 4G General] bitbang3r:
One tip: Sandisk's most expensive Class 10 flash is NOT the fastest for random-access reads. I've seen benchmarks done in multiple places that show that other brands (mostly sold by Newegg, nothing you can even fantasize about buying in a major retail store) are up to 50% faster.

The paradox is because "class" measures ONLY write speeds, but the way most guys here use it is as a fake hard drive in ways that are more read-intensive. Sandisk's target market isn't performance-oriented owners of high-end Android phones. Their target market is video professionals who only care about reliability and storage-life. As a result, if they have to choose between optimizing for long-term data integrity and raw blazing performance, they'll go for integrity every time as long as write performance is fast enough to meet the standard.

If you're going to walk into a store like CompUSA/TigerDirect and buy flash without reading reviews, your best bet is probably class 6. It's dirt cheap compared to class 10, and isn't much slower than average-benchmarking class 10 when it comes to reads. More to the point, it's cheap enough that if you strike out, you can chuck it and buy a more carefully-researched second card online without hating yourself for the next year. If you spend $15-20 on a mediocre class 6 4-gig card, it's not a big deal. If you spend $120+ on a mediocre class-10 16-gig card, you're basically stuck with it for the next 2 years unless you can unload it on somebody who doesn't know better.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
write speeds are the more intensive and slower than read speeds. Kingston sells their products based upon write speeds. sandisk sells upon read speeds. kingston class 10 sd card equals 10 mb write speeds 19 mb read speeds sanddisk class 10 is 10 mb read and 7-8mb write speeds. it takes longer to write data and takes more cpu use. the write speeds are your priority.
[Epic 4G General] P00r:
Class 10

I have a class 10 Sandisk and it sucks in the nexus one

for some reason if I use the card in a reader it perform ok (10MB

WRITE

) but in the phone it is painfully slow... and this is true either testing with an SD card test app or by hooking thru the usb cable, so something is wrong and I am not sure it's 100% the card since it perform ok in a card reader...

Doing the same with a class 2 card is transparent, same performance from any interface (USB, Internal).

I have made some test with cluster size if 4K, 16K, 32K and it's the same... The only difference is the card themself, I know they use a new SDHC 3.0 standard, maybe this is the reson why they under perform in the nexus...
[Epic 4G General] P00r:
You are right in regard to write being more intensive than read, especially for MLC flash but AFAIK Class are part of the SD Card standard and are based on WRITE Speed, can you point out where you take this "difference" between 2 major brand, I am not a sandisk fanboy (far from it) but I doubt this is based on anything real...
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
actually i read in wikipedia that sandisk sells thier products by read speed and kingston sells thier products by write speed.
[Epic 4G General] Geekybiker:
It's been awhile since I looked at the spec, but the class is the minimum write speed to earn that spec. Most cards seem to exceed this. The only real way to find out real speeds is via independent tests.

The power button on my N1 has been giving me fits, and given the number of people I've read about with "dead" power buttons, I think mine is going out so I'm trying to preserve it as long as possible.

I enabled trackball wake (using CM6) which takes care of 1/2 the equation, but I need a good lockscreen app (just something to make the phone go to sleep). I found one in the market called Lock Screen Enabler, but it's not a "true" lockscreen app and it's very buggy, causing all sorts of problems for me.

I've been a web developer for 8 years and recently got into Android development (which I hope to be doing full-time soon), so I thought I'd just code a quick app for personal use in 5 minutes.

The problem, however, is that the DEVICE_POWER permission is needed in order to call goToSleep() and from what I've read so far from other online posts, this permission is only granted to native system applications.

Since my phone is rooted, I even tried granting my application SU privileges, but that doesnt seem to work either.

So, my question boils down to how do I grant my application DEVICE_POWER permission? I figure if anyone out there knows the answer, it's going to be someone on XDA as this place is full of geniuses. Thanks in advance!!

UPDATE: I've attached the finished app. Made this for personal use but if anyone wants to use it they are welcome to. My only gripe about it right now is the "screen flicker" that happens when you launch it because it's trying to launch an app that immediately locks the screen and finishes itself. If I can figure out how to get the app to launch in a smaller window maybe I can minimize the size to reduce the screen flicker. But for now, this works and I can set it to launch when I click the clock on Fancy Widget, so I'm happy. Thanks again to everyone who offered answers to my questions. Just another reason why I love the Android development community!!
