[Galaxy S I9000 General] aditya104:
my Gps works good. But Compass not so much. Does GPS have to be on to use Compass? How do I calibrate the compass?

@andrewluecke with so many electrical equipments/circuits inside the phone, I reckon it must be hard to isolate the compass from the interference as we are able to do in aircraft.

ANyways there is no practical daily use of compass for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] <stu>:
Well I was messing around last night and found that if I tip the phone backwards nad forwards slightly (so it is still mostly horizontal) then "North" can vary quite a bit. I tried the LBSTestModes which seemed to be better, but it still has issues, and like ickyboo I've managed to make it face 180 degrees off North.

As for everyday applications - well I suppose Navigation is the main one I use, although any augmented reality app is gonna be affected. So that means the Layar app that Samsung advertise as a feature of the phone is useless. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] retro83:
I don't suppose you know if this is why the Google Skymap application is always misaligned? (I've tried all the calibration methods I've been able to find and it's still always off)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] <stu>:
Yes it would definitely explain that.

Can I get it on my myTouch 3G Slide froyo 2.2? thanks a lot!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermunky:
If you're rooted, there is a Froyo/Sense ROM, "GratiousSlide" I think...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarist5122:
Its heavily flawed. Hopefully will be stable soon
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] televate:
I believe he is talking about a straight port from the recent myTouch 3g froyo (2.21) over the air update, which I would also like to see. Preferably cause I like the stock launcher, and would like to have both the stock and adw available if I wanted. If there were an easy way to port it, maybe someone could point me in the right direction.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Stock Froyo uses something called Launcher2(L2) it isn't on anything made by Cyan or his team, I'll attach the app but you must push it to /system/app while on Vanilla Froyo rom. It works with LWP's and I think it's must faster than ADW.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] televate:
Ok so would it work on cm6 then, seeing as it is a vanilla froyo rom?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PcFish:
Is that the G2 one?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
It's the vanilla one which is aon all vanilla 2.2 phones, but it has 5 screens not 7.It works on nightlies+CM6

You need to push it to /system/app while in clockwork, but mount system partition.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] televate:
i know its a noob question, but i can't for the life remember how to mount system in adb to push the apk. can you post the commands or a topic to explain?

edit: nevermind, did some digging and found a solution. if i want adw as well i can just install from market right?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Cm6+nightlies use ADW by default, Cyan doesnt use L2 at all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mtkrishna:
Hi.

im a newbie in the flashing of phones, i have a atnT tilt 2, unlocked for mexico, with the new official ROM. i am having too much complaints with this rom, as it freezes constantly, etc.

i want to start to use some energy rom, or a gonzo, as i readed in the forums are some of the most speedy.

when i unlocked the phone ) about two years, with the help of a friend (who i cannot contact now) i vaguely remember making a hard SPL at least for the names of the files used.

but then, how can i know if i have hard spl? is it recommendable to start over and make a new hard spl or can i only try to load a cooked rom into the phone?

thanks in advance

[Fascinate General] solizzang:
alright..

I happened to visit Voodoo homepage today..

The site actually came up with new updates with voodoo_lagfix and color fix for

international Galaxy s, Vibrant and Captivate...

Are we allowed to try one of those updates? or will it just brick the phone?

I was just wondering since i was looking for any new roms for my fascinate..

I'm on Voodoo_lagfix and oc to 1.1GHz..but i notice my phone gets slower and

becomes buggy after couple hours of use...

Is there anyone who could explain why that happened?

Any replies are highly appreaciable...Thanks
[Fascinate General] tats_06:
If you flash kernels from other devices to fascinate, you WILL brick it! The update is the code update, so developers are working on incorporating that into their kernels. I know JT is working on a update and so is birdman. Hang in there. :)
[Fascinate General] phoenx06:
Do not install these, it will brick your phone. Someone with the knowledge and skills will need to update and recompile the Fascinate kernel in order for these to be used.

Hello guys, can anyone provide me with information for HTC desire camera such as vertical, horizontal apperture and camera focal point. thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z General] vidac1rca139:
So for the past week and a half my G2 battery started draining super fast and it seems that the cell standby is the problem.

If I reboot the phone and have it on for 10mins cell standby time will show time on being 20mins. How is it searching for a signal an extra 50% of the time when it hasn't been on?

Also it will show that I have been without a signal for 50% of the time the phone has been on when I've never lost signal at all.

So the point of this thread is to see if I have a defective device so I can get it replaced. If anyone can help me out and post their Cell Standby times and Time Without signal percentages after a reboot and/or after a days use I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gwanatu:
I'm glad I'm not the only one that had that problem. I had literally the EXACT same problem you are having, and exchanging my phone for a new one fixed it. My cell standby with that phone was in upwards of 79% and averaged 50% without a signal according to that screen. The new phone sits anywhere from 14-40% cell standby, and although there is definitely something wrong with how the radio on this handles signals, I don't get dropped calls anymore and it spends 0% of the time without a signal.

Another problem I had, and am still having, is that data connections just drop with no warning and I have to either wait forever for it to figure it out (there are no indicators of this status in the task bar, however nothing data wise will load) or put in in and out of airplane mode to reestablish a connection. I know plenty of others who have this issue as well and wonder if you do too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] vidac1rca139:
I did some checking around with other people that have Android phones as well (not just the G2) and they do not have this problem either. The good news is T-Mobile is sending a replacement because this unit is in fact a defect. Thank you Gwanatu for posting.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fosormic:
Guys, can you tell me how to see this cell standby info? I got mine yesterday and the disconnects are starting to irritate me. Behaves identically to my Nexus, up arrow stays for a looong time, up to a min until it starts receiving data.

Still agonizing about replacing my Nexus, so if these disconnects are a G2 "feature" as well, then I'll just go back...

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] vidac1rca139:
Settings>About Phone>Battery Use>Cell Standby.

A T-Mobile rep told me they are using new/different type sim cards for smart phones and that could be a possible issue if you are using an older one. Mine was about 5-6yrs old.
[G2 and Desire Z General] potentdro:
My cell standby is at 58% and time witout a signal is 50%...

Did a quick google search and found the airplane mode trick

1. Plug in phone charger

2. Put phone in Airplane mode

3. Put phone to sleep for a minute

4. Turn off airplane mode

5. Unplug phone

I did this and now my cell standby is at 14% and time without a signal is at 3%
[G2 and Desire Z General] starfcker69:
fwiw my cell standby is 21% since last reboot days ago.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ZombieUsr:
I do not have php and it is well past 15 days...airplane trick no longer works...still sitting @ 41% cell standby...don't know what else to do
[G2 and Desire Z General] ZombieUsr:
Does any one think a factory reset and training the OS would help?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Turbo Brian:
ive noticed the cell standby % being higher than it was on my nexus one. cell standby is typically the highest % item in my battery use list (my nexus was always the damn screen sucking up power). if i click it it shows the % time without a cell signal. for me, its always been 0% whenever i check so im not losing signal ever it seems. my battery life is actually quite awesome with this phone so it doesnt seem to be affecting anything really. maybe it has to due with the fact that this phone's SoC is a smaller fabrication and more efficient? that might make other stuff appear to use more power compared to older phones that had less efficient SoC's. just a thought
[G2 and Desire Z General] ZombieUsr:
I just in stalled Screebl lite app. Basicly keeps the phone from going off. Once installed my cell standy by went from 37% to 12%. Can any one else confirm the same results?
[G2 and Desire Z General] jgriff63:
My cell standy was running at 60+% with no signal running 50%. I did the online chat with Customer Care, and she ended up saying they were going to replace the phone. Funny part is that during the troubleshooting, I pulled the battery for a few minutes, and since then, cell standby has been 39%, with 0 lost signal time. I don't know what that did, but battery life has increased a ton. And a replacement is on the way...may try it for a few days, but this is working fine, so not sure I am going to exchange.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
If you want to flash the radio as an img file, your bootloader must be unlocked. But if it isn't, get root and then use an update.zip radio file linked upthread and flash it from ROM Manager or directly via custom recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
If you can find a signed zip, you don't need to be rooted...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I'll take that back, while it is possible to flash a signed zip through stock recovery, the chances of finding a suitable zip are less than slim...

If you don't want to unlock your bootloader, then the fastboot option isn't possible.

Your best solution is to root, install a custom recovery, and then flash the zip via recovery. You can always revert back to stock again, afterwards (but why bother?).

As far as a signed zip through stock recovery, you can always try the Korean FRG83 (where the radio came from), and hope the English support is enough so that you can flash back to stock FRG83 (without radio). BUT, I DON'T RECOMMEND DOING THIS!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikebuzz:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] freddx:
Hello Guys,

I have an XDA Diamond for few months. I placed my simcard in the diamond and it has signal(UMTS,GSM). But suddenly after ca. two months it lost ever and ever again the signal. Now I have definitely no signal. I flashed hard spl and tried many Roms and Radio Roms, but this did´t work. I think it´s a hardware problem. Now I´m very mad about this crappy phone, but I´m fourteen and have not so many money to buy a new one. Can anyone help me?

I want to backup original radio, recovery and spl , how to do ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
The radio you extract it from the install image (update.zip or nbh) ..

It has many sub partitions and is not a raw nand dump so its not really in reflashable form on the phone even if you could access it.

As for the spl .. its possible to dump the one on your phone with some custom mtd hacks.. but usually we just extract it from install images as well, its safer.

If you ask how to restore a specific spl/radio and what the gaol is.. maybe you can be provided additional details.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
'Nand backup' in Amon Ra's recovery gives me cache, system, data, boot and an md5. The only other option in recovery is 'Nand + ext', I don't have a second partition but I think that dumps to a tarball. I really don't know, maybe it used to be supported? but I doubt it would, they're not the kind of things you'd flash daily...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichieDaze:

Misc is misc and not radio or spl.. nandroid can't back up either becasue there is no way of accessing the radio data.. and the hboot is not accessible by default..

[Android Themes] Mr_Element:
Hello guys!

Well I found this guide while Googling which is called "The Complete Guide to ADW.Laucher".

In it's last section it gives some tips and setup advice on how to make your own theme for ADW.Launcher and since none of the existing skins satisfies me really I decided to take a shot and try something of my own though I have very little knowledge of .... well ... everything! :P

But I'm a patient guy and "Google is my friend" so I supposed I could figure this out!

The thing is , this guide gave some setup advice before start making the theme such as downloading jdk, android sdk , eclipse blah blah blah...

The guide by the way can be found here:

hxxp://code.google.com/p/adw-launcher-android/wiki/CompleteGuideToADW

(just replace "xx" with "tt")

So I'm following all the instructions carefully and doing everything as I was supposed to until I reach this point:

And that's when this screen poped up! (see screenshot below)

I haven't been able to move further since then , I 've been asking around , posting on forums and stuff but no luck! If someone could share some thoughts here I'd be gratefull!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DeathBySnuggles:
Based on my experience with the app on my 3gS, the advantage to this would be having the maps stored locally on the phone. Therefore you have some level of dead reckoning and aren't relying on your data connection to supply map data. AFAIK, gps is way more reliable connection wise than data. So with this app even if you have poor or no signal, the app can still work if there's gps.
