hi, really love your font 'brush' but is there any way of enlarging it slightly cos it seemed to compressed and hard to read.

the fonts are really beautiful though..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Mumps:
I'm getting the FC problem with just installing com.monotype.android.Segoe.apk.

I'm on Insanity 0.5.3 (JS3), SuperOptimized Kernel 4.7.3, international i9000 (spain). Any ideas? Maybe it's a different framework since 2.2.1?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali_loly10:
my desire is unbranded so i thought that if i installed a normal wwe ruu it will work out

then i read a post that said that it has to be an arab ruu as i have bought it from egypt

so are there any arab ruu available for download even if it is eclair (2.1)

Please i need your help

Just picked up a Samsung Focus and the GPS in the device is spot on. I tested inside the AT&T store before I purchased the device and got a lock within 5 seconds inside the store and the accuracy was spot on. I used the navigation feature all the way home and it didn't miss a beat. Does anyone know if this is the same GPS chip that is in the Captivate?
[Captivate General] yahooserious:
Why dont you try to read the settings and maybe we can emulate them in the Cap
[Captivate General] Nerz:
Lol, now samsung gets it right I guess. Frustrating, unless it is the same chip, then hopefully it is just drivers.
[Captivate General] glio1337:
No idea but I always change the SUPL settings to Google's servers on my Captivate and the GPS works fine then.
[Captivate General] s44:
Isn't the Samsung Captivate (Rogers) a better comparison?
[Captivate General] nsaia:
GPS Chip

Don't think it's the same if this is correct:

http://www.intomobile.com/2010/02/1...-with-media-playback-and-recording-functions/

EDIT: Sorry, I may have jumped the gun. I can't confirm that the Focus actually uses the chip mentioned in the article.
[Captivate General] ranova:
pretty sure they have different hardware, at least gps wise. no way samsung is that dumb.

I just bought an ATT nexus one. Im sick of the non-working gps and horrid filesystem.
[Captivate General] retnuh:
From what I have read, and experienced, a new Captivate's GPS, and perhaps a new Focus' GPS, will work just fine for a couple of weeks and then deteriorate. Also, when I installed the leaked version of FROYO 2.2, the GPS worked fine for about a week and then deteriorated. Tell us what the FOCUS is doing in about two weeks.

I don't believe it's a hardware problem. If it was, the GPS would not work properly right out of the box. The fact that so many people, including me, report that the GPS worked fine for a week to two weeks, tells me that the hardware is okay. It seems as though, the more the software is utilized, the worst the problem becomes.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
I finally did that a few days ago and ever since, it's been great. Locks in seconds rather than minutes-which was really the only problem..accuracy has always been fine
[Captivate General] yahooserious:
Yeah i should have mentioned it but a few weeks ago i was having the same problms as everyone so i kept trying diff options untill i somehow hit gps jackpot and now i get an accurwte lock in under 10sec every time. I just figured that everyone else had dpne the same and just never reported their fix cause i know i am not certain exactly what i did to fix it..but it works great now
[Captivate General] Coldheat1906:
Where can i find the SUPL settings at? and what do I need to set them to?
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
My little brother returned his Captivate and picked up a Focus.

Hopefully it's indeed fixed. I might switch at some point. Dunno.
[Captivate General] heygrl:
The problem is an insensitive GPS antenna. The Galaxy Tab has no problems with GPS. The best test for increased sensitivity would be to take it into a big supermarket and get a GPS fix albeit a poor one (Galaxy S phones should fail miserably here). The GPS chip is the same. The weak link is the antenna. It's garbage, easily fixable though for Samsung.

For me the GPS is only poor on extremely cloudy days and inside of buildings with thick walls. Otherwise it's OK now.
[Captivate General] XGX5309:
Qualcomm's Snapdragon (QSD8x50) platform comes integrated with their own gpsONE chip. It's pretty much a rock solid performer, as it was with the MSM72xx devices also. The Captivate uses a Broadcom BCM4751. Completely different GPS chip.
[Captivate General] heygrl:
No

http://www.isuppli.com/Teardowns-Manufacturing-and-Pricing/News/Pages/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-Carries-$205-Bill-of-Materials-iSuppli-Teardown-Reveals.aspx

It has the SAME receiver.
[Captivate General] XGX5309:
Yes. You have linked a iSupply for a Galaxy Tab, which is a larger version of a Galaxy S. ?

The Samsung Focus is a WP7 device, and therefore has a SNAPDRAGON chipset, with the Qualcomm gpsONE.
[Captivate General] heygrl:
gpsOne is A-GPS, it's not standalone GPS which the Focus has.
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
So let's correct a few problems in this thread:

1) Some of the signal hardware may be shared between the Focus and the Captivate, but they are running different SoCs (system on a chip). Therefore, even if they have similar/same antennas, signal boosters, etc on board, the chip actually doing the gps signal processing is different. For example, in the focus, the Qualcomm MSM chip has something called "GpsONE" which is their trade name for the aGPS system used. In the Galaxy S, the GPS is handled by a separate chip (not the SoC), which I believe is the Broadcomm BCM4751.

2) The Captivate DOES NOT have an insensitive antenna, at least by phone standards. I've owned a Kaiser (Tilt) and a Rhodium (Tilt2), and the Galaxy S has a MUCH more sensitive GPS receiver. The problem lots of people are having with GPS reception is due to software (in particular the radio/kernel/rom combination).

And finally, I had horrible problems with the GPS in my Captivate. It shipped broken from Samsung (aka, until I flashed custom ROMs, I rarely if ever got a solid lock). However, ever since 2.2, reception/quality has gotten much better, and ever since switching to an i9000 radio/rom/kernel (see my sig for details) I've had ZERO problems with the GPS. I get a solid lock in under 5 seconds, I never lose that lock, and the actual GPS accuracy (not as reported in GPS Status, but what I actually see on the map) is much improved. If it was a hardware problem, how come mine was broken, and now works perfectly?
[Captivate General] heygrl:
There's a simple answer for that, your Tilt2 and even older Kaiser has awful GPS.

The DROID X/Various Moto's/Flip phones I have can lock GPS inside of a building with no problem and the Galaxy S will fail to see any sats to lock on. This is the same for FroYo.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
What are you referring to regarding "jackpot"?
[Captivate General] s.m.knipe:
Also, put the N1, G1, Droid X, and/or whatever else side-by-side and compare satellite numbers and SNR values (with say GPS Test) with the Captivate( I have with my N1, G1, and Captivate), and the satellites seen and SNR values are identical and very very close, respectively. The other devices are simply able to use the sats to actually get a lock. If the SGS series had an insensitive antenna, it would not see the same satellites with similar SNR strengths.
[Captivate General] XGX5309:
Do you just love spouting off random information? The gpsONE with the Snapdragon platform is aGPS, yes. But without cell tower assistance, it will still work JUST FINE. It'll just take a little bit longer to get a lock on your location. I've used Qualcomm's GPS implementations since they came out with the MSM platform, so please stop giving false information.

My Tilt/2, Touch Pro, TP2, and any other HTC phone I've had worked just fine. They took a few seconds longer to get a GPS positional lock, but in no way did they ever have issues like the Galaxy S phones have had. Also... GUESS WHAT?? Some of the Moto phones even have Qualcomm chipsets just like the HTC's do, with the SAME GPS receiver. :eek: If the gpsONE in the Qualcomm chipsets is fed updated GPS information via the updater app included with the phone, then it gets a lock from a cold start within 15 seconds on my TP2. And just to throw this out there... but my Captivate has had none of the issues I've seen reported. It finds a lock, to within 3m very quickly, and can track my routes live with no issues of it being on the wrong road.
[Captivate General] laxwillsch:
++++1 I totally agree with everything above. My cappy was one with horrid GPS especially with aGPS disabled because it aGPS was terrible as far as accuracy goes. I have since given up on the GPS and rarely even checked if it got better with different roms as I thought it was a hardware issue until about 3 weeks ago when i switched from cognition to deviant roms using the I1900 kernal/modem/rom combo and now my GPS is amazing. I did not change any settings at all just flashed Jg8 modem using odin then the 10-25 version of the themed rom and ta da....lock in less than 5 sec with 3-5 m accuracy everytime. CRAZY!!!!! :)

p.s. some of yall need to take a chill pill we are all on the same team here :)
[Captivate General] nsaia:
Can you post exactly what you're running on your phone cause I'd like to try it. I have Doc Rambone's 7.6 with SentrioN 1.3.3 kernel and the JPP modem and still get significant drift on my GPS when standing still on a clear day. One moment I'm in my yard, then it shows me in the street, then I drift inside my neighbor's house. A lock near my position would be great.
[Captivate General] laxwillsch:
I am running the 10-25 turned jpa rom and I flashed the jg8 modem first. Make sure you are not using wireless networks, I still have mixed results when I try to use agps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgavett:
Hey guys, I've had my captivate for about 3 months and I love it. Well, I loved it until the at&t update about a month ago. I dont know if it caused the problem, but since that week or so, Ive had crashing problems with my apps. It started with the messaging app. Everything freezes, I still get haptic feedback, and then the sms fails, sometimes the phone and some games too. So I downloaded handcent and that worked for about a day without crashing, and now it wont open half the time. I have never rooted my phone, but I use launcherpro if that helps.

Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can fix it?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Neither is *the best*. They both have their pros and cons. As said before me, it does come down to personal preference. The Apple App Store does have the upper hand in terms of the sheer amount of apps and the delivery system. It is better then the Android Market as much as I hate to admit.

The deciding factor for me is this: Apple has lost me as a customer. Every year they release an update to a product and then stop supporting the previous model. I dislike locked down hardware and proprietary bull****. The only reason I would ever run OSX is because now I can do it on a Hackintosh and have BETTER performance with my choice of hardware. That so-called "dedication they give to their products" only last a year to a year and a half tops.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JPS81:
The iPhone 3G started having issues with iOS 3.0 when the 3GS was released only a year after the 3G's release.

The iPhone 3GS started having major performance issues (and overheating issues) with iOS 4.0 when the iPhone 4 was released a year after that, and the 3G was pretty much unusable with 4.0 at that point.

What do you think will happen next year when the fifth iPhone comes out?

Their 'dedication' is an illusion; they have planned obsolescence.

That said, like others have stated above, if you like tweaking your phone, the Captivate is a good choice. I'd add that if you do not like tweaking your phone, the Captivate is a pretty terrible choice.

The iPhone 4 works out of the box rather well. You're not going to get much beyond that, but you get more out of the box than most. Its hardware features are matched by very, very few phones (LED flash, FFC, noise cancelling mic, working GPS, good back camera, etc).

Its OS, even with jailbreaking and Winterboard, just doesn't compare to the level of customization with android devices.

Also, I don't know what your definition of many is, but >120,000 is a pretty big number to me. At this point, the sheer number of apps for both iOS and Android are meaningless numbers. The vast majority of apps on both platforms are useless or redundant, except for games, where iPhone tends to get titles first, if android gets them at all.

Should I replace my HTC HD7 pre-order with Samsung Omnia 7? Help needed fast ...

I need your help fast!

I know this is little "unethical" but after so many "copy-paste" reviews I must turn for your help.

Please give me a reason NOT to replace my HTC HD7 pre-order with Samsung Omnia 7.

I pre-ordered HD7 but I am slowly getting disappointed reading all the reviews.

Why?

HTC HD7 vs Samsung Omina7 shoot out, KraFT`s style ....

- HTC HD7 only Class2 SD card vs. Samsung Omnia 7 - 8GB NAND Flash memory (8GB is enough for me )

- HTC HD7 SD card class 2 / 8gb is not expandable. Its only hackable.

- HTC HD7 Plastic cover vs. Samsung Omnia 7 - almost full metal. (scroll to 2m:50sec)

- HTC HD7 has old TFT LCD ( not even SUPER TFT) vs . Omnia 7 latest Super-AMOLED LCD TFT.

- HTC HD7 11.2mm vs Samsung Omnia 7 10.99 mm;

- Display size , HTC HD7-4.3 vs Omnia7 - 4.0 (0.3 difference)

- Weight 162g vs 138g

- HD7 Crappy pink photo and video vs Omnia 7 Check yourself.

- HTC HD7 Battery 1200 vs Omnia 7 1500 .

- HTC HD7 Quiet and Mono (not stereo) vs. 20% louder Omnia 7

- For S. Omnia7 , Gorilla protection is very much possible but cant find a clear confirmation.
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
could always replace the crappy class 2 micro sd for a higher speed and capacity, but it seems like you want someone to blame if you dont like the phone you choose.
[HD7 General] Seven_PRX:
The only thing the HD7 has over the Omnia is the larger screen. And the possibility to remove memory and add more, but you stated you don't need it. IMO Omnia is the better pick.
[HD7 General] KraFT_mk:
Please don’t post here anymore for obvious reasons.

I thank you for that.

[HD7 General] hboos:
I think for most people in the long run (regardless of whether they agree at this point in time) the decision will come down to "can you survive with 8GB space?"

The omnia 7 is maxed out at 8GB currently (16GB still yet to be seen) and once you take into account the WP7 OS and apps, you will be left with around 6GB space.

Is that enough for what you'd like to do with the phone?

Personally I won't be using my Omnia 7 as a mp3 player but if you intend on using it as your primary music player then I would STRONGLY recommend the HD7 over the Omnia 7

You can easily upgrade the HD7 to 32GB with a higher class microSD card to improve the speed..

If, like me, you don't mind carrying only a few favourite albums and a few favourite videos and no more then go for the Omnia 7.

If you anticipate that you will use more than 6GB then get the HD7.
[HD7 General] FooisM:
This... The main reason im getting the HD7 is because I can put a 32 gig card out of my HD into it :D

Why do you need a excuse? With the things you've stated, its obvious that you want the omnia... just get it
