[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roism:
When I go to the market, the app is unavailable to me. I then went to the apps website and tried to get it to download using the samsung captivate browser but it kicked me back to same thing on the Apps Market

So, I am thinking is it possible somewhere in process of my upgrading and rooting the phone got locked accidently since I am new to the whole process of understanding development? (I have superuser access and ability to eliminate apps using titanium back up so its more of an elimination of issues question)

Regards
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aloant:
If you mean LbsTestModeLaunch, this was actually removed per Samsung's request.

As an alternative, you can download "Any Cut" from the Market, then create an activity shortcut for LbsTestMode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roism:
Thank You for your response

I was able to download the app. Would you please share or link how to create " a activity shortcut" for LbsTest Mode?

I am new to the whole process and dont want to create incidental problems for myself

Regards,
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aloant:
There seems to be 2 "Any Cut" apps - to be clear, the one I'm using is by "Jeff Hamilton."

In Any Cut, select New Shortcut, then Activity. It may take a while to load... Scroll and find LbsTestMode, then tap OK. You should now have a shortcut in your home screen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roism:
Thank you for your response. You have lit a path to enlightment for me ;-)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roism:
So I was able to access the LbsTestMode based on instruction given and was able to fo through the following steps of "old instructions" that I was able to google......pasted below

•Step 1 -- Open menu > settings > Location & Security. Uncheck the box next to "Use Wireless Networks"

•Step 2 --follow the procedure in the "advice posted in comments above"

•Step 3 -- In the LBSTestMode menu, press “Application Settings” and change “Operation Mode” to “MS Based.”

•Step 4 -- In the LBSTestMode menu, find “SUPL/CP Settings” and change the SERVER & PORT to supl.google.com and port 7276 (DO NOT use www. in front of supl !)

•Step 5 -- Reboot your phone.

•Step 6 -- Open menu > settings > Location & Security. Check the box next to "Use Wireless Networks"

After follwing the steps above still no go? I used an app called GPS test to verify my location

Please advice

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobius911:
Turn off SUPL Secure Socket as well. I am using AGPS Mode Control Plane. I've used both, this is where I've set it of late. Also, run the Get Position Test and see if it can lock on a position. Try to do this where you'll get a strong signal from many satellites (i.e., outside). Then leave LbsTestMode running, hit Home and open Maps. See if it can find your location. It should locate you assuming you got a good lock in LBSTestMode.

I've been openingLBSTestMode first and I leave it running in the background and then open Navigation. I haven't yet determined whether this has an actual benefit, is just a habit I don't want to break, or my own superstition, but that's what I do. There was discussion that some of the LbsTestMode settings don't persist after closing LbsTestMode, so this is one way to make sure the settings remain active.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickplayer:
Working!

FWIW - the above didn't work in my 2.2'd Galaxy S, nor did the older code. I eventually got the Any Cut app (great!) and followed the instructions.

For the last 2 weeks, since the 2.2 update, I was basically unable to get any GPS lock. I did manage once - and it took 15 minutes, with 8 to 10 satellites available.

Now, with 2 or 3, I'm getting a lock in a few seconds. :D

If the main problem is that the web location setting for info is just flat-out wrong, why doesn't T-Mob just issue a fix for that? It seems very strange to me that this would continue to be an issue months after the rollout began.

After this change, Google Maps = total crash???

So I did the change, and thought things were good. But about 3 out of 4 times, when trying to start Google Maps, it freezes, then the screen goes completely black, and there is a vibration-buzz, a pause, and two more buzzes. The phone appears totally dead. Only pulling the battery wakes it up.

To be clear, I changed the URL and port, and disabled the secure socket mode, as described in this thread. There was also and update of google maps received, which claims to have installed successfully.

So now GPS is great, but the main app I use it with is defunct. :mad:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
Hi people, I am looking for some X10 mini pro's to buy, but I mostly get people selling them in Spain, locked to Vodafone Spain.

I have seen some people advertise in the UK saying that they will provide a CD with the instructions to unlock your SE X10 mini pro for free.

Is this possible, or are they just trying to fool you into buying their phone?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sethxp:
In this time not possible to unlock mini for free, only via buy codes. Instruction on CD is scam, i can imagine it, on cd is readme.txt that contains "go to this web and buy codes"
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] paul c:
If you buy them locked, budget in €25 or a little bit less to unlock them. So you'll have to knock the sellers down a bit :)

I just unlocked my (Vodafone Spain!) X10 mini pro via a web-based unlocker, worked fine.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
Thanks for the information. After I get one for my wife, I will PM you if you don't mind about the syte you have used for buying the code. The cheapes one I have seen was 29€ and normally they go for 37€ on ebay.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] paul c:
I actually came across this site http://www.liberaporimei.eu/liberaporimei/c12839/liberar-sonyericsson.html on xda-developers. €22.35 to unlock a Spanish Vodafone X10 mini pro.

They do what it says on the tin :) They say they will email you a code up to 4 days after paymentis received, and it was exactly 4 days.

I went through the website, somehow I managed to place an order without giving any details or payment - got an email immediately from their admin about that. By which time I had placed an order with full details & payment, so no problem.

Anyway, in short, code & instructions worked fine. :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
Thanks for the information. That is the same way I have unlocked my HTC HD2 Spanish Vodafone, now that I think about it, I am buying lots of things from Spain hehe.

But the HD2 unlock was a bit cheaper, even thought it must surely be because I only bought it 6 months ago.

Thanks once again, and as soon as I buy the phone I will let you guys know how it went.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] darfito:
Hi Paul,

I want to unlock my phone as well, but I have a little question: if you unlock your phone, does the app update (SEU) recognize it as a free one and install the free firmware (without the crap movistar) or is it impossible?

Thanks !!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] paul c:
I don't know the answer to that. I network unlocked the phone, removed a whole lot of Vodafone crap, and ran the app update. the Vodafone stuff didn't come back. Actually, I ran the update without the SIM card in via PC companion, so it was network-neutral.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] darfito:
So if you ran the app update and the crappy stuff of vodafone never came again... THAT'S GREAT !!!

I'm going to unlock it... I'll answer soon ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] paul c:
More to the point, I think you can remove the operator-specific stuff independently of the network unlock.

That is, by rooting and CAREFULLY taking out the operator specific apps (there is a thread that describes that here.

Not sure exactly what the link is to the firmware update - and how to update via PC companion without a SIM...

Would be interesting to hear other experiences, though the real test will be when(ever) 2.1 appears. The minor update within 1.6 may not trigger a great deal.

All the same, stripping out the operator specific stuff is not that difficult or time-consuming
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] darfito:
Really it isn't for the carrier stuff, it's cuz I like a clean software without intermediates... and for the newest updates too, I think 2.1 will be available for unlocked ones firstly

I used root manager to clean the movistar stuff (about 10 apps and games)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] michinom:
I would be careful about the free solutions out there. Even updating stuff before unlocking your phone.

For Samsung i9000 if you do a firmware upgrade (unofficial or official) and try a free unlock tool on it, it can permanently corrupt the NVM (section responsible for unlock) of the phone.

Original unlock codes will not work and it is not easy to fix.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
I have used the liberaporimei.eu, but after 4 days I still have no unlock code. I think I will get one, but was not expecting it to take such a long time.

I think 22€ was a fare price for it. Lets hope it works :).
[Nexus One Android Development] Dai323:
So, we all by now have heard of the awesomeness that is MIUI. Im running the Rodrigez port of the ROM, and its fantastic.

One thing about this ROM is that it stores all installed apps on the homescreen, much like the iPhone. There is no launcher. So for people like myself (and IM sure many others), its pretty time consuming arranging all 132 apps on the homescreens the way I want them!

I know in ADW launcher there is a setting to save your homescreen layout to your sd card, which can be conveniently restored when needed. I used this all the time with Cyan and Enomther, simply because it saved time after a fresh install.

Im asking the awesome coders of XDA if they think there is any way of either writing a command/app that will save your homescreen layout into a file on your sd card that can later be restored? I dont know if its something that can be written into the ROM, as Im not a coder. I just know it would save a lot of time in using this ROM. I just had a problem with my sd card and had to repartition it, meaning that I ll need to set all 132 apps on the homescreen again to the order I want them :mad:

I know that a nandroid can do this, but a separate application would be nice, as MIUI needs an ext 3 parition for apps2ext to work and everything I do a Nandroid +ext backup, I always have problems restoring it.

Any devs or coders out there know if this is possible?

Ideas?
[Nexus One Android Development] boldfilter:

[Nexus One Android Development] blas4me:
Question

Why would you want your homescreens cluttered with apps, I'm running Rod's MIUI, but I'm using Launcher Pro because I have to have a app drawer. And, I think most Android users aren't trying to make their Android phones like the Iphone. If you haven't already, check out the screenshots in the beginning of Themes & App's forum, most users are using alt. launchers to customize the UI. I didn't see one shot with anyone running stock MIUI
[Nexus One Android Development] Imperial.mack:
I have to agree. It seems like we are taking a step back in the evolution of the os. Like who seriously wants all apps mixed up in a clutter on your homescreen? But for the 5 people who do prefer this, I could see why they would want this save option included.
[Nexus One Android Development] Unquestionable:
This is convenient for all users of the very nice standard launcher that MIUI comes with.

I'd happily use it if it existed.
[Nexus One Android Development] wdfowty:
I have to disagree, MIUI is a huge step forward. Regular xda members may not like the iPhone-ness, but I'm willing to bet that the majority of the public tend to gravitate towards it. How do you think they still sell iPhones, anyways? lol.

I look at MIUI as a breath of fresh air. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that we needed a break from Sense and stock for a while.

That being said, I have defected back to CM for now. Main reason: Lockscreen music controls. I love the MIUI lockscreen, but having to unlock, open music app, and press skip just wasn't safe for me, as the only time I use my phone for music is while driving. Personal preference, but pretty important to me.
[Nexus One Android Development] Digital1325:
Never knew people liked that iPhone-esque home screen. Always thought installing another launcher on top of it was mandatory for the Android crowd. Step back indeed, unless you think gravitating towards the iPhone's OS' simplicity is step forward according to the poster right above me. Assuming he's not some T-Mobile exec that just looks at the "big picture's aka sales...

@Op: sorry for veering OT. I just thought what he posted was absolutely absurd! Unless it was complete sarcasm, then I apologize.
[Nexus One Android Development] knightnz:
You can use Titanium Backup to backup the data portion of the MIUI launcher, restoring that will restore the layout.

And what's with this BS fake "you're the 1 millionth user" banner ads, what is this, 1998!?
[Nexus One Android Development] wdfowty:
It's a step forward in the fact that developers are thinking outside the box and working on the framework/user-interface, instead of focusing all efforts on the "behind-the-scenes" aspect of Android. Don't get me wrong, I love CyanogenMod and TheOfficial, and appreciate all the work the countless devs have done, but the stock UI hasn't changed at all, really, since 1.5...

It's not the simplicity of iOS, per say; rather, the ease of use is what I think draws the crowds. I'm an iPhone to Android convert, and have rid myself of most of my Apple products (bad experience with my MacBook left a horrible taste in my mouth), so I guess you could consider me an Android fanboy.

And why would a T-Mobile exec be promoting a competitor's biggest seller (aka AT&T and the iPhone). Kinda off-base there, if you ask me.

I would also like to apologize for going so far off topic. Had to speak my mind :).

I won't be posting (off topic) in this thread again.
[Nexus One Android Development] Imperial.mack:
I feel you on the alleged ease of use of the iphone but personally I found the Miui homescreen harder to use. If I wanted to open an app, I had to mentally remember which homescreen I placed it on. There was also no other way to sort the homescreen. And when I wanted to move an app to a specific place, other apps shifted places but in sometimes undesirable places. I got frustrated. Thats why I think that the app drawer is a forward evolution of the os. Thats like me places a million shortcuts on my desktop computer instead of going to the start menu or searching for the program in the start menu searchbar. Just my 2cents. Iphone os just not that impressive to me.
[Nexus One Android Development] kpjimmy:
I actually have used all the launchers out there and launcherpro is a good launcher to have over certain roms. I myself been on LP plus since CM6 and loved the ability of customizing almost every faucet of the ROM. But since MIUI, I have tried to use LP plus and I have to admit I cannot use any of the launchers to run on top of MIUI. IMO kinda takes away from MIUI.

And because of my opinion, all the apps of course, are on the screens. What did I do? I just used created two folders. One "app" and one "tools" folder and separated them that way. So far so good, unless someone can point me in the direction of a launcher that can organize it in a 'better' way, please let me know. Thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] Imperial.mack:
Yes folders are nice. I just didn't like the look of them. I'm happy that cm is porting over the power widget notification bar! That was my fav part of Miui rom :)

[Nexus One Android Development] Dai323:
Interesting thoughts guys.

I actually take the MIUI homescreen as " a breath of fresh air" as well. I know its a bit iPhoneish, but it works VERY quickly and it looks nice. Also, less widgets = less lag, and for now Im enjoying the change.

I used ADW launcher (love it) and Launcher Pro (also great) on Cyanogen and Enomther for a while, but with MIUI, the launcher they have developed just works so well, which is why I think an app to import and retain homescreen settings would make the ROM even more awesome.
[Nexus One Android Development] wdfowty:
Is miui open sourced?
[Nexus One Android Development] blas4me:
The beauty of android

I agree with you on that, MIUI is a very fast and dependable rom, I just don't like my homescreen cluttered, I run a lot of widgets and I don't lag. Nexus can handle it. I have over 200 apps installed and with the standard launcher I couldn't find anything. I have to admit the icons give the phone a uniformed look, but I don't want them on my home screen. I have the App Inventor from Google, and I was trying to come up with a idea for a app, so Ima see what I can do for you. I'm not a dev or anything I'm still going through the tutorials, but we'll see.

gesture & trackball wake always done it for me skipping music track while driving when i was using cm6.

but for MIUI since no trackball unlock just yet i have to work extra getting it unlock
[Nexus One Android Development] mandible:
Actually there is a program called Wandoujia (snow bean shell?), it can install Apps (batch) on android phone that stored in your computer. According to a post in MIUI.com this is how they arrange icons on the screen.

1. Create folders that would group your apps

2. Store apps accordingly.

3. Install Apps to your phone with each folder using Wandoujia program.

So Apps on screen would group together.

But the program Wandoujia is in Chinese. I don't know if there's a English version?

There's a system file that shows in Titanium Backup called '(Homescreen)launcher2.2' do you guys think that'll back up the layout?

I don't want to batch backup/restore the all the system data bc I think some of that stuff gets changed in new roms,so I don't want any older files.
[Nexus One Android Development] JHPadu:
Yes, that will backup the layout of the icons.
[Nexus One Android Development] overground:
What happens if you backup /data/data/com.android.launcher and push it back after a wipe? My guess is you'll have to replace widgets, but it may work for restoring your layout.
[Nexus One Android Development] khanam:
i actually use MIUI on my incredible - was on your forum looking for good AOSP Roms to port over to the incredible and this thread caught my attention. At least in the incredible version of MIUI, i was able to restore my screen layout when i upgraded from 1022 to 1029 by using the miui backup app (kinda like Rom manager and titanium rolled into one) - worked for me. Actually before i did that i had been able to just apply the new zip file without wiping and it did not give me any issues either...

While this thread seems to have devolved into yet another iphone vs android debate, anybody who actually needs help in porting settings over etc might want to try the miui backup system app.
[Nexus One Android Development] ctbear:

[Nexus One Android Development] dictionary:
Wake, and unlock, are two totally different things. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Digital1325:
Ok so since I've been using MIUI for awhile now, I decided to give you guys the benefit of the doubt and try out the default launcher. After spending about 30 minutes moving things around and setting it to my liking I can definitely see what all the fuss is about now. It's not as similar to the iPhone as I thought and is definitely not a step backward (my bad!).

+1 on this idea Dai because I can totally see the merit in this.Don't think ill be upgrading to the next version until (don't feel like doing that all again, but hey, I probly will anyway heh).
