Hi, I use Google Maps and Sygic. The best for Android
[Desire Themes and Apps] raze1000:
Have to disagree

Co-pilot is far better, have used both

Co-pilot maps are more up to date as N-drive uses the same maps as tom tom.

I used to use my tomtom when i travel to spain but now i use co-pilot because of the newer maps.
[Desire Themes and Apps] iamdata:
i also would agree with co pilot live, as it cost me about £23 on winmo, and then i just used the key when i get android, and it still works! Value for money there! Unlike tomtom on winmo, i really did prefer copilot.

Since having it on android i even subscribed to the premiu, features, but there isnt any need you get all the speed cameras for free anyway! just make sure you switch them on..

If i dont have the car, and i am walking around london city i will used google maps with the navigation option for walking.

depends what the specifics are :) havent used N-drive and i dont have a need to now.
[Desire Themes and Apps] muc_waldek:
Check Navdroyd, it uses Open Street Map as the map source. Works really well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deusx Machina:
Hello,

I am relatively new to android phones in general so I apologize in advance if this is a common question (though a quick search didn't find anything). My question is this: Many times when I try to download something using the stock android browser (I have also tried dolphin browser with similar effect) the download fails, especially if it is a particularly large file (even more so when I try to do something else while its downloading). Is there any way to fix this or am I doing something wrong when it comes to downloading files? On top of that I have also noticed that sometimes when I try to download a file (lets say a .apk) it will say it downloaded the file but will have really only downloaded 10kbs of data or so, Obviously I get errors when trying to open them. In regard to the small file sizes, I know that the problem doesn't lie with the sites im trying to download from, because I have downloaded the exact same files with my computer with no issue.

Also one other quick question about how the Captivate (and android in general?) handles wifi and 3g. I've noticed that whenever I turn WiFi on and connect to a network the captivate refuses to send data through it's 3g connection. Normally this would be a good thing but there are certain apps that require a 3g connection. It also becomes a problem when I want my Captivate connected to my home network since the network isn't connected to the internet (stupid cisco NAC agent, if any of you have any Ideas on how to get that working through my router i'm all ears.). Simply put, I want my Captivate to be able to connect to the network to view files but to still be able to use the internet through it's 3g connection, is that possible?

Thank you in Advance,

Felipe Breyer Jesus
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokestack76:
I dont have issues downloading files. But i dont leave the download screen until its done. Could be your issue. As far as wifi goes it shuts off 3g. Have you tried starting wifi. Once connected turn on airplane mode. Then shut off airplane mode? Might start 3g again?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Um.. some websites will not allow you to download using your phone due to some kind of crazy restriction that the web server has. I remember Design Gears had to tweak a web setting to allow people to download ROMs directly to their phones.

And.. I'm not an expert but.. by turning on wifi - 3g service will get stopped. You would probably have to do some serious hacking to get both to run at the same time... and that is IF you can even run both services at once.

You were saying you were having router issues as well... but do you have internet connectivity with your computer? If so you can always just download the files from your computer...?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toyface:
I've not tried the sense HD ROMs, I'm waiting for a really good port, a working camera is a must for me.

Looks like you're making good progress! let me know when you have anything to test and as long as I want kill my baby Desire I'll be glad too :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Anyone who's serious about cameras wouldn't rely on a phone to take pictures - I think the Desire camera is extremely poor so the HD port is easily the best ROM I can use
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toyface:
Who's to say I'm not serious about cameras? I love my Sony Alpha, but hardly pocketable is it? The best camera is the one you have with you, even if it is, as you so rightly say pretty poor.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
I didn't say you weren't, I was saying in general...as the Desire camera is terrible I never use it so for me it wasn't/isn't a deciding factor on chosing a ROM :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toyface:
Yupp the desire's camera isn't great, but in daylight and in my preferred black and white style it does the job, I always kick myself if I think "Ooh, good photo op there" and I missed it. Besides it wipes the floor with my old 3GS' camera, no settings, was a true nightmare.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
maybe you can speak with the dev that made the n1 port, see if he had the same problems and if so how he fixed it :D imo devs seem to be to proud of there work to collaborate for a better rom, which is a shame cuz i think if some of the devs on here like robocik puts there heads 2gether, we would have some bad ass roms :D lol

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herne:
Being rather new to android based tiny wee computers that just happen to make phone calls I am just a bit reluctant to 'experiment' with my shiny SGS (hence not previously applying anything but normal apps). Having said that, last week after reading of the whizzyness of FROYO via the registry hack, I went and convinced kies that it was swedish and popped FROYO on my phone. After some nail biting it whizzed along like a new-new toy and I was one happy bunny.

Although I am still very happy with it it has one or two niggles such as Skyfire, as of today, locking up and FCing after 30 secs of use for some reason (not tried just reinstalling yet so that may help) and the odd freeze with Angry birds etc requiring a reboot. I am Vodafone contract in the UK (but not with a branded phone even before the froyo) and was told ages ago i would get an OTA update when it came out.

I saved a copy of the original kies registry keys just in case but just wondered (a) is reverting to Eclaire is possible, and if so how? (b) will popping the old settings back into the kies registry cause WWIII and an alien invasion if i reconnect my SGS (c) When, eventually, i get the OTA notification will this overwrite the current OS no matter what or will it just go meh...i can't be bothered?

All relevant data/contacts etc were backed up on the PC prior to the update.

Cheers

Herne :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy 5'er:
I have some other basic questions for my new Galaxy 5 which I am very close to hurling at a wall.

First and foremost, how do I turn off the "always on mobile?" I can find the always on button, which is green for on, but pressing it doesn't turn it off. That box appears to be greyed out. I know it seems odd that I'd have a phone like this and not use the internet, but I buy minutes instead of contract (typical here in Dubai) and I went through about 3 months worth of minutes in about 4 days. grrrrrrr

Second, on my old phone (a Treo) to check my minutes, I dialed *121#. In a second or 2 a screen would pop up telling me how many minutes I had left. On this phone, it seems to go through the process, but never actually pops up an answer screen.

Third, in setting up my phone, I told it I have a gmail account, which I do. It pulled a massive and utterly out of date address book from my gmail account and made it my default address book. How can I delete this or at least make it NOT my default?

Fourth, I've been promised that I will adjust to the pad of finger press process instead of my perfectly good and utterly accurate fingernail. When am I going to stop pressing the wrong buttons? Is there a way to make it sensitive enough for a fingernail instead of a sausage finger?

Fifth, I'm trying to sync my outlook calendar with the phone. It's erroring out, saying Execution Privilege prevents accessing Outlook. Please try again with Administrator .... (I lost the end of this because I decided to kill the phone and start from scratch)

Below is my experience. I hope this can help you.

WiFi LAN

phone<------------------> laptop <-------> Proxy<----->Internet

10.1.1.10 10.1.1.1 NATed

Prerequisite:

1. laptop or pc has wireless adapter that support configured as AP.

2. OS that support NAT (LAN as public network, wifi as private network).

My laptop is Windows XP SP3

3. A DHCP/DNS server. I use DualServer

Steps:

1. Configure wireless adapter as AP mode and give a static IP. (10.1.1.1, netmask is 255.255.255.0

2. Configure DualServer in laptop.

I just modified DualServer.ini with following line based on defalut installation.

[LISTEN-ON]

10.1.1.1 # only listen this interface, not affect office network

[DHCP-RANGE]

DHCP_Range=10.1.1.100-10.1.1.119

DNS_Server=10.1.1.1 # all phone's DNS query request will be forwarded to latptop

Router=10.1.1.1 # all phone's traffic will be routed to laptop

[xx:xx:xx:ea:a5:8d] # phone's wifi interface MAC Address, in order to given fixed IP.

IP_Addr=10.1.1.10

DNS_Server=10.1.1.1

Router=10.1.1.1

3. Configure NAT on XP laptop

In command window:

a). net stop remoteaccess

b). netsh routing ip nat install

c). netsh routing ip nat delete interface "Local Area Connection" full

d). netsh routing ip nat add interface "Wireless Network Connection 5" private

e). netsh routing ip nat add interface Internal private

f). net start remoteaccess

Please replace your interface name on step c) and d).

4. Start wireless AP on laptop. Make sure laptop can access internet.

Open wifi on phone, find laptop's AP and link to. Then phone will be allocated a IP (10.1.1.10).

You can configure some security protocol on phone and laptop.

5. In most case, Your office internet access is via proxy.

You should also install a proxy app called TransProxy in phone.

Then configure your proxy info to TransProxy.

6. Does not work?

Install Android SDK if not. run "abd shell"

ping 10.1.1.1, It should be OK, other You have wireless configuration error.

ping address1 is OK (address1 is IP address of your LAN interface),

Other Your NAT configuration contains error.

Now you can surf internet on phone now.

If your wireless adapter does not support AP mode.

Please refer to another thread, (xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8686601&postcount=17)

It still can share laptop's internet.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treasureking:
How does DNS work?

I am trying to use transproxy but I have not idea how the DNS could work. My understanding is all the traffic will go through transproxy. But my phone doesn't know anything about it, right? The iptables redirects the traffic from port 80, 443, etc. to redsocks. If my phone's applications don't know the proxy, how can they use GET http instead of DNS query?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberguru:
Hi all,

My Desire is rooted and running Leedroid 2.2a with an ext3 partition on my SD card for my apps and cache folders, using the default apps2sd setup with the ROM.

I recently had to re-flash my phone because lots of installed apps went missing; some of them had odd names (the com.android.x.x names) and then it got stuck in a boot loop because it couldn't read the SD card until I formatted it, well actually I had to destroy the ext3 partition. Now I wonder if its because the apps folder is on the SD card/ext3 partition and if I connect the phone to my PC to copy stuff to/from in disk mode it un-mounts the SD card, losing the apps folder and the cache folder.

So far, since flashing, I haven't installed half as much crap on my phone, or dismounted the SD card, but I am worried that it will start to cause problems with the phone if I need to connect via USB/disk drive mode.

Has anyone else had these problems, or know of a 'safe' way to unmount the card without corrupting apps?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
It shouldn't corrupt your EXT partition if you mount USB on your device.

AFAIK, if you mount USB, it will only mount the FAT32 partition, the EXT partition will still be available to Android.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberguru:
Problem has occurred again. My battery went flat on Saturday so the phone turned off. Plugged it in on Saturday night, turned it on, and it stays at the "HTC" white background green text screen.

If I remove the card it boots fine. I mounted the SD card in Ubuntu and I can use the fat32 partition on the card, but the ext3 partition is empty, although if I right click on it and go to properties, it shows that there is 130mb in use on the partition. I cant do anything to the partition because Ubuntu throws some odd error about not being able to mount the partition because its in use, or some other paradoxical scenario...

Annoyed now. Anyone know of a fix? should I copy all the stuff I want off the card, repartition using gparted and try again? I used the ROM Manager app on the phone to prepare the card before. Could it have a bug?? the Ext3 partition is at the end of the drive space, after the fat32 partition. Should I make it the first partition?

Bit of a bump, but it seems I'm not the only one with this issue. Any help is appreciated...

I don't have the card with me now cos I'm at work so I cant do any more tests or try and find a solution.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
No worries, you can mount them fine. but if you take out your sd card out of the phone and turn the phone on, it would turn on and go in a bootloop. but that was just for me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vorapoap:
This is used to happen to me. Stuck in HTC logo on white background. It turned out to be that my sd card was bad partitioned it corrupted.

I fixed it by destroyed all partitions and created only fat32. Then put it back to HTC Desire and had ROM Manager created new ext3 partition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vpraveenis:
I have been facing this issue ever since I started trying a2sd+ roms. I created a 1GB ext3 and apps will start disappearing every now and then. If I shutdown the phone and boot it again, then many apps will go missing.

I tried reformatting the sd, wipe and reinstall the rom but no use. Apps will keep disappearing on every reboot. At times all the installed application will be corrupted. i.e they will be listed in application manager as com.android.xx.xx with no icon. Some apps will have the icon and if i select them it will say the application is no longer available.

I have tried different roms with a2sd+ and still have the issue

I have tried different methods of partitioning.. Using acronis disk director in windows, using rom manager, using ubuntu live cd etc.. still the issue is present.

What makes it difficult is that sometimes the ext3 partition gets corrupted.. sometimes the whole sd ext3+fat32 gets corrupted, and I could not find what's wrong.

One final thing left to check is to try with a different sd card. If even that fails, then I have to go back to non-a2sd+ rom and live with low internal memory :(:(

Anyone faced this issue and found a solution, please share... I would be grateful...
