Hello All,

My T-mobile HD2 refuse to update My-Location while all other cities added seem to update fine! This started 3 days ago! I am still running original ROM from March 2010 and did not install or uninstall any programs since two months. Do I have to update to get new Radio? Could this be an issue? What is so odd is that when go to Settings->Wireless Controls->Phone->Band and choose GSM and the My-Location updates along with all other cities on EDGE. When I go back to 3G it does not!

I tried soft reset but does not help. By the way HTC Location Service is checked. I've looked in other threads that discuss this topic but found no solution.

Can any one help me out please?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
I wish I could help. You see the same thing happened to me about 3 months ago. I've tried everything. Task 29, hard reset, rom flashing (stock and cooked), tweaks, exchanging sim cards, you name I've done it. And absolutely nothing has worked. I called TMO and they told me it's a known issue that will be addressed by HTC. The rep stated they would file a ....i fogot, and get back to me when a solution is found. Well, I'm sure HTC could care less, and TMO washed their hands by passing the buck to HTC. They would not exchange it. If you do a search you'll see that others have had the same problem with no means of getting it to work.

It will work if you input a location as your location. I went into setting and placed, Mcallen, Texas, as "my location" which happens to be just 3 miles down the road. The weather will update on Edge or 3G if you manually place the location, but keep in mind it will not change locations as you move from city to city.

I hope your device isn't plagued with the same issue as mine. Maybe all you gotta do is reinstall the rom. This may just be wishful thinking...
[HD2 General] boyzone:
Thank you DD. I did not know that the issue is with HTC. Well I'll be adding mine to the pile!
[HD2 General] ManyPearTree:
There are 2 check boxes in the Location setting. The second one should be left unchecked. See screenshot.
[HD2 General] boyzone:
Thanks for the tip but it is unchecked. Otherwise it would not update on EDGE either!
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
You can even use your same exact city and it will update. Mine did this for almost a month, then one day it just started working again. It has something to do with them upgrading the 3G towers. If you turn off 3G and change to edge as described in another thread in this forum it will work perfectly.
[HD2 General] boyzone:
Well, I called HTC and they told me that I need to upgrade to new ROM from T-Mobile. I may do that and see if it solves the problem.
[HD2 General] thebest1:
i had the same issue until i upgraded to the new tmobile upgrade 3.14 rom. it help my issues, with a faster rom and even my weather started working again. i hope this helps. :)
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
They are full of it. It's something to do with Tmobile's data network. My weather didn't work for weeks after the upgrade to 3.14. It's working now. Your weather will come back. I do recommend 3.14 though.
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
if your weather is not updating try changing your world clock to "my location" instead of a set location. Also there are times were the weather information does not get passed along for some reason and it affects weather bug as well as it will also say that it is unable to retreive data
[HD2 General] ElaineD:
I've got a new permutation! My weather info updates, however the location says United States of America! :eek: Are we having fun yet?!?
[HD2 General] brucegil:
Probably Local Service Problem

I had the same problem a couple of months ago. I switched to Edge and got the My Location weather back. A few days later, I switched to 3G for another reason, and my weather began updating again. As others have said here (and in other threads), the most likely problem is with local towers not accessible. This is usually a temporary problem. But I doubt it's your phone, especially if it has worked in the past.

When using Bing or Google Maps, I sometimes see my location a long ways from where I actually am. This is due to the fact that my phone can't find enough towers at the time to get a good location.
[HD2 General] boyzone:
I finally upgraded to new official rom as told by HTC but the MyLocation still does not work! It seems like the towers in my area may not be sending enough/proper data to the phone. I pulled out my Pharos 137 (3G) and tested using Google maps with out engaging the GPS and it stats unable to determine the location! Same happens with Sony Xperia X10(with T-Mobile 3G bands)! I finally concluded that it is T-Mobile towers in my area and hope they will fix them soon!

I was wondering why Swype featured phones (Galaxy S, Ominia II) can edit a word in portrait mode by double tapping it but phones such as Evo has to either be in landscape mode or press the swype button to get additional or edit words
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Just different versions of Swype.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soxozor:
The one found in galaxy s is 1.6 and that can certainly be downloaded.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
1.6.x.y.z though, and that x.y.z is what makes it different. Also, Swype's said they make different versions for different phones.

Before I put my phone on vibrate/silent the music/video player plays fine.

After I put it on these settings, and take it off, the sound stops. Music still shows that its playing, same with video. Media volume is up. Silent is unchecked.

Anyone else have this problem? Solution?

I have used 3d gallery while selecting Photo for Picture frame and liked it over the MediaScape.For people using Launcher Pro and would like to use this as default gallery,the steps are below.

3.Click Gallery form the List and select Gallery (com.cooliris.media.Gallery) from the drop down

And you will have the shortcut on Desktop,Also same can be done with the dock.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulmedic:
Just bought a Nexus 1 and it was advertised as "unlocked". How can I check to see if it is rooted? It has 2.2 but I would like to use a custom ROM. I have rooted G1's before but never had to use ADK or SDK.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] germandark:
All Nexus' are unlocked. I think you are mistaking that the phone is unlocked for carriers and you want to unlock the boot loader. You can flash a custom ROM on a Nexus without unlocking the boot loader though.

Look at the Wiki for how to on rooting without unlocking the boot loader and thus voiding your warranty.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Easy root check it look for a "Superuser" app in the launcher.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Only if you have a custom rom.

If you want to check for root, type su in terminal.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Or download a simple app that requires root (like a flashlight), and see if it works...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
No.

If you have root, it will be there.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyryck:
Hi,

I deleted some stuff with Titanium and a while after I went to the Market and I had problem with downloading applications as I was running fine on Wifi with my Opera ect...

So I restarted my cellphone and the market wouldn't launch. Everytime I cliked on it there was 2-3 white screens appearing and disappearing really fast.

So I tried to back it up, uninstall it and reinstall it but I don't know why but I couldn't restore it.

Now i'm stuck without Market and I still don't know why it wouldn't download.

Would someone have the Market.apk and an explanation for my problem please ?

Thanks in advance,

Zyryck.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordan011:
Does anyone know of any software that will easily allow me to export contacts from one ROM and import it to another ROM so i don't have to keep re-entering data.

The reason behind this is because i'm still hunting for that perfect ROM, and I need to be able to take the contacts from one to another, I suppose i could put them on my SIM card but was just wondering.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovanova:
You may use Microsoft MyPhone or PimBackup.

I use MyPhone because I find it more practical since it keeps you an online copy of all the info you want to backup/sync, and there's also the archive feature, among other interesting things.

Anyone been have problems with the scrolling? It seems to jump and stutter alot, say when scrolling through the apps in market place. Also while scrolling, if you keep your finger on the screen the screen starts to shake, when it shouldn't be moving at all!!??

Anyone having these problems??
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
its not a 'problem' most cpacitive screens exhibit this my htc legend did the same and so does a friends X10, and motorola backflip. im not sure why it happens i think it might have somethign to do with the software calculating the exact center point of your finger.

or maybe your finger is shaking ? even if you cant see it chances are there is a slight movement in your finger
[Desire HD General] gibbo82:
I defo ain't got shakey hands. Its really annoying, I've got an x10 also, and i don't have this problem I'm having with my HD!.

Scrolling through the market is the worse, as it stutters and jumps while browsing.
[Desire HD General] matthiasdeblaiser:
That's pure bad coding...

Has nothing to do with the screen itsself. I'm still wondering why Android has not been able to make a phone that does not lag anywhere, like Apple already did many many years ago in a device with maybe 1/4 of the DHD's power... Don't get me wrong, I like my DHD an I would never trade it back for a 3GS but come on, isn't it time for lag to leave Android?
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
well the answer is simple, apple only has 1 hardware variant to account for android has to account for many different hardware combos which means more problems and will most likely never be perfect.

a good example is windows it has to support everything and to this day certain hardware combos can cause major issues. apple and any other fixed hardware/software vendors have a much easier time because everything is the same for every device sold. id also be willing to bet the iphone 4 is still using the same radio hardware from the 3g

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creyc:
I prefer using a sliding keyboard over hunting and pecking but i haven't found a keyboard that has all the features I want and wondered if there's other options.

Basically these are my main complaints with the keyboards I've tried.

Slideit: no smiley button for texting, no way to quickly delete whole words, and the worst for me is how hard it is to get common punctuation like the question mark.

Swype: auto spacing is annoying, and backwards. Swype inserts the space after a word is swiped, instead of in the beginning of the next word. This makes it impossible to modify the last word by hunting and pecking without first getting rid of that last space. Slow. Unnecessary. Swype constantly pops ups when "hidden words" are typed and this cannot be ignored, thus breaking up the flow of typing. The need to double back and make scribbles for repeating characters is very unnatural compared with the rest of the text entry, and other keyboards get by without this, it should at least be an option. Finally, and I don't mean to dump on swype so hard, but it does some really funky stuff with punctuation. I can type 'they've', but I can't type 'they'd' without going to the punctuation key for some reason.

Does anyone else have similar gripes with sliding keyboards or are there workarounds or other options out there? Slideit seems the most bearable right now but some if its flaws are quite annoying, too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:

[Vibrant General] Dbarker 2:
So here is what happened. I just started with this rooting stuff a few days ago. I read up on it and took the dive. I got Bionix Fusion installed and everything was going well. I made a nandroid backup of stock and of Fusion. So today, I was messing around a little bit too much I guess and I started getting the error for deleting the gtalk etc.. apps like the others did in that other post. I also couldn't download anything from the market. Well, I decided to flash back to stock and when I tried to do it didn't work. While restoring it gets stuck on this step: .psync_stream .. I tried to get back into fusion since I had it backed up as well - but I couldn't get into it. So I have been spending all day reading the forums and trying everything that I can to get it to boot up again, but its just not working. I have installed ODIN and I have gone through the process. It told me that it passed and the download bar was complete. The Phone rebooted, went to vibrant, made the annoying T-Mobile sound but then didn't get passed the Galaxy S screen. It just goes to a black screen with the lights on the touch keys lit up. I really have tried just finding the answer on the forums, but I am not getting very far - If anyone could please help me or give me any insights, I would really appreciate it. I know I probably have gotten in too deep, but honestly once I started flashing roms and stuff it got kind of addicting. I am pretty new at all of this stuff, but I really need to get my phone back working again. Thanks in advance to whoever can help me.

Found something that worked :) Flashed Eugenes unbrickable with ODIN, then flashed back to stock and I am up and running. I guess I should have looked further before posting.

First, before you get hammered, this question belongs in Q&A, not the development section.

It sounds interesting and would be cool to see it happen but I don't think it would be easy. Each driver would have to be ported to the phone and such.

Why do you feel this question belongs in this forum? And like ricsim said, possible but unlikely. Take a lot of work to do such a thing, and the devs seem pretty busy lately, trying to port something like that would post pone their current work.
