Hi! I hope to be usefull.

When I see the arrow in the google maps the position is always the same. Its possible that the compass can be the cause of gps error?? Its possible turn off the compass to try the gps alone??

Best regards and sorry my english.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evil-doer:
ive also wondered about this. the arrow in mytracks spins around like crazy while moving. if gps programs use the compass to help tell the direction then thats gonna be a problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kjeldmis:
Does anyone know if we can test this in some way? I would gladly try any solution or help with alpha testing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reziel73:
gps - compass or ...sensors?

hello I have noticed a strange behavior of the gps too..

I have done many tests with the program "GPS Test" (available free on Android Market) and

I noticed that after the fix if the galaxy is moved, especially if changes from portrait to landscape ( or vice versa), the program loses the fix with the satellites (all indices of satellites in use turn gray)

, it never happens if i disables the landscape mode in the galaxy's settings or in the gps-test 's menu...

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the GPS is less sensitive for satellites but too sensitive to the position variations of the smartphone (horizontal / vertical during use) .. I do not know if it happens with all programs that use GPS, but I do not think this should happen.

Federico
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsinc:
Like earlier Garmin or Magellan gps, the compass should be used up to the point that the gps shows 5km/h (adjustable in some devices) because the signal of the gps is unstable and is not reliable for direction under that speed. Also...

... like in some sirfstarIII gps, the receiver (gps) was adjusted so that it didn't show any movement (and speed) within a circle of 15m or 30m (also adjustable) to avoid showing movement (and direction) while you were stopped.

Another fact in this category of gps devices (single frequency, autonomous etc) is that they are much more accurate about speed (0.1km/h) than position (typically usually 5m, sometimes 2m-15m or more)

So if we don't know what the default settings for the SGS's gps are, we don't know what could really be the problem. Or do we?

Anyone who knows more about the gps hardware used in SGS could help...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainfire:
It would indeed be interesting to try to disable the compass altogether and see what the effect on GPS is.

Perhaps I'll look at this. I'm not a big GPS user myself so proper testing would definitely not be me.

I am using "Maverick" from the market and it seems to be working properly....

So I was wondering what you lot think of paparazzi photographers. I'm sure I will see mixed opinions and some flaming, but I'm just interested what you guys (and of course girl ;-) ) think. Once this thread gets moving I will tell you why I posted this.
[Off-topic] kdj67f:
I despise them. I consider them failed journalists and art majors. If I was famous, I would probably have lawsuits against me for cracking their skulls.

And it's the idiotic public who can not seem to get enough "real life" bull**** from the tv that is fueling the fire. [/rant]
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
I find them annoying ;) Every where i go they follow me, they list everything I buy, Cant they just leave me alone :mad: :p :D Jk no paparazzi ever follow me apart from that one time when i threw half eaten hot dog at them, it was more of a chase though:p :D:)

Fair enough to them though, it's there jobs, but when they just follow people for nothing eg. going to the shops, thats annoying no one cares what they bought.We care if they marry etc. though ;)
[Off-topic] jaszek:
So now my opinion. I'm a part time paparazzi (and she's my biggest fan, she follows me around....lol) and had a job yesterday. When some people say it's illegal it's 100% legal to photograph anyone on public property. Even though I just started I consider myself an old school pap (as in having a huge lens waiting on the other side of the street photographing without the celebs seeing me). The new type of paparazzi piss me off. They stand in front of doors and bombard the celeb fith flash, which doesn't show what they are doing. Why do we do it? There's a market for it. Many people are annoyed by paps saying that they don't respect the privacy of celebs, but yet these same people are the ones that buy and read all the gossip magazines trying to know what their favorite stars are doing. Also my shots from yestarday might jeapordize someone's marrige :P
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
no , its not like that ... its 100% legal to photograph you on public property

and its also 100% legal but ull be on the ****ter with a broken nose and felony charges for assaulting an officer(just to be sure) before u kno it if u try and film the popo (cuz theyre gods)

I somehow thought Froyo would resolve the issue - but it's far from the case. I'm still regularly seeing the out of storage space message, and it's highly frustrating. It's just ruins a near impeccable phone!

If I was to root it, would I be able to use the rooted move to SD cards app to force the non-movable apps? I read that the ADB method of forcing apps to move can corrupt the memory card? Either way - are there any solutions to this??
[Desire General] AndroHero:
If you root and s-off, you can also modify the mtd partitions on you device, increasing the size of the data partition .......
[Desire General] stats101:
Sounds like hard work. If I was to root, can I use an app2sd app to force all my apps to SD? is this the same as the ADB froyo method?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
If you rooted you could use apps2sd+ you would defo reclaim some space over the native froyo move to sd but i dont know how much, might not be an awfull lot.
[Desire General] hatemenow:
Like other dude said s-off and mtd partition, its not that hard but its worth it if you have alot of apps.
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Actually, it is an awful lot if you root and use apps2sd+.

I initially rooted just to use Market Enabler. But I took the plunge and installed LeeDroid's ROM which uses apps2sd.

With my usual number of apps, I used to have about 30 or 40 MB free in internal memory. Now, I have between 90 to 100 MB free.

Because of this, I install more apps than I need and I still have over 60 MB free.
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
With A2SD+, youll only lose internal storage with the data from apps (Google Earth, HTC Sense Contacts storage) and until you fill your ext partition obviously. Its ridiculously easy to root these days anyway.

We could do with a dummies guide to mtd partitioning. It ought to become the norm but right now it's a bit intimidating. If I get time to read up I will give it a go.
[Desire General] Ronok:
I've been struggling with this issue many times. I used the ADB method to avoid rooting, and it works good. But it's still not unlimited.

Recently I did a factory reset. Now I'm installing the apps I really need (with adb method) and I have 95 MB free. But i'm expecting the same problems in a few months when apps are building up.

I want to root only for Apps2SD(+), but I think the easiest way is flashing a ROM with APPS2SD already cooked in?
[Desire General] stats101:
can Apps2SD+ not be installed on an existing rooted rom? there are a few threads about sd crads becoming corrupt with the method. has that been resolved yet?
[Desire General] philje123:
Yes it can be added on with a mod. And yes the issues with sd card corruption have now been fully fixed.

Hey guys, gonna try and keep this somewhat simple.

You may know of these threads from the Desire board in April 2010

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=659695

Basically, people who order a T-Mobile contract from a third party (mobiles.co.uk, MPD, phones4u etc) only get a 1gb data limit when it should be 3gb. Even worse, their download/browsing speeds are limited to 360kpbs.

A lot of users managed to have their contracts changed to that of the fair use policy as stated on the T-mobile website; all android users on T-mobile contracts have a 3gb fair use policy and "web 'n' walk plus". (third party is just web 'n' walk)

My question:

Is it going to be the same deal now with the Desire HD being released? If I order from a third party provider, am I going to have to try haggle T-Mobile to give me the data allowance and speed I should be getting with the risk of them saying no?
[Desire HD General] Amoanster:
I have gone the Quidco/e2save/Tmobile route. I can deal with the 1GB instead of 3GB, but not if they are going to throttle the 3G download speed. Does anyone know if this is true?

I am expecting delivery today so need to find out asap so i can send it back and get one ordered direct from Tmobile.

Thanks.
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
as far as i am aware the reason you are limited to 3g speeds and 1gb a month is because those companies all use the booster for the internet. As a result you only get the "basic" internet. When you order through t-mobile you get unlimited internet PLUS a booster which you can use for more texts or free landline calls etc.

There is rumours that T-Mobile have stopped changing peoples contracts around to allow you to have web n walk plus but I don't see why they would do that. What it may mean is that to get the faster speed and bigger GBs you need to sacrifice your unlimited texts down to 300 or something.

You'll only really know once people start trying to change it i suppose.
[Desire HD General] shingers5:
3rd parties have capped data allowance as it allows them to give you better offers like free phone from £30 a month. data speeds are not limited at all as you will be using the t-mobile network as 3rd parties don't have their own networks. you can also have your data increased to 3gig by simply calling customer services. TBH i have never gone over 500mb so dont see the big deal with it all
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
this goes against what we have heard from a lot of other people who got t-mobile deals from 3rd party dealers.
[Desire HD General] rogueblade:
It's not just the bandwidth limit its the speed limit of 360kbs when really should be getting 1000kbs plus
[Desire HD General] rogueblade:
A user from another forum who just got his Desire HD from a third party already confirmed T-mobile upgraded him when he called to the 3gig limit and gave him a free booster
[Desire HD General] rogueblade:
If anyone here gets theirs from a third party please let us know if/when you call up T-Mobile and try get the 3gb + free boster + web 'n' walk plus

[Desire HD General] combat goofwing:
from my experince when MPD first advertised the DHD it had unlimited internet offers on t mobile about a week later they changed them to 1 gig allowance, i emailed them about this and they said it was unlimited with a 1 gig FUP, i ordered mine yesterday from t mobile direct and they gave me unlimited with a 3gig FUP so it seems the third parties are still being limited
[Desire HD General] vinokirk:
I ordered my hd2 a year ago so things mayve changed since then

Hello everyone,

I'm currently running MCCM SE 2.0 (miui customized ROM) with Hastarin 7.5 kernel. I had issues with the original kernels with freezing, so I switched. Now I'm having some more issues, but I'm tired of playing with this build, time for bigger and better (Hopefully more stable too!)

My question is this: MCCM 2.0 has quick links to enable/disable almost everything directly in the notification window (Wifi, APN, airplane, brightnes, etc.). I want a build that has this OR a way to plug this in an existing build. I've looked for apps that do it, but I'd rather have it integrated.

Thanks for your help, guys. This forum is much more helpful than others I've been in!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanssoN:
I'm not sure but the Sense builds should have a widget named energy control or something like that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reno_79:
Yup, any build you can add a widget too you can add this to a home screen. Add a widget, choose Settings > Data Dashboard or Power Dashboard (on the new desire HD builds). Both of these combined give you almost complete control over the phone and it's functions. I don't think this is limited to the sense builds, I've seen loads of builds have these.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafpigna:
He is asking a different thing from the "power strip" or other widgets. In the MIUI roms you have those shortcuts NOT in the home screens but directly in the notification/status bar.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reno_79:
Yup I realise that but why have to pull down the notifications window when you can have it directly on the homescreen as a widget?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karendar:
It's because I prefer a clutter-less environment. And considering it's one quick link bar instead of tons of random widgets... I mean it's all a question of taste, really. ;) Many different options for many different people. I have apps on my main page I use frequently (With a few widgets) and the second page is a few more apps... All those shortcuts are practical in that scrolling notification window for me.

If anyone knows which files control the notification display menu, that'd be fine with me... I'll take it from there! I'm just trying to figure that out.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
I don't remember enough to compare except with these three ROMs I've used extensively. OD and CM definitely have better camera stability when shooting than HTC 2.2 in my use. It's very conspicuous. The HTC ROMs were very poor with this artifact even when you were as still as you possibly could be. But the two non-Sense ROMs didn't provide anything else superior to the HTC 2.2 camera in usage and output. They were inferior on everything that mattered to me. The last I compared them was about 6 weeks back.

I don't have any sound/audio sync issues when playing the recorded video on an external device, like a laptop, with any ROM.

I think that's what you mean by "stuttering". Correct me if I'm wrong.
