Those pouch cases look awesome but has anyone tried them with the Desire Z or G2? How is the fit? I read over in the G2 forums that the OEM G1 case fits the Desire Z very well but its doesn't look half as cool as these!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] alleysun:
I love the one in Red.

Fingers crossed it fits well!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Blesseld:
I have a white and black on order, total was like 6 dollars US off ebay, will post fit after I receive.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] helloelan:
Did you get your cool Android pouch yet?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmog:
2-4 bucks each, there are plenty of different styles.

Personally I liked the OEM G1 Pouch the best so I bought 4 of them. Cost under 10 dollars total.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jark99:
Yes i did, got the cool green one. And it fits the phone perfectly, theres abit of gap in the pouch but it fits the htc phones fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] KarlosTheJackal:
What are the insides of the pouch like?

I'm currently using my G1 pouch & the inside is nice & soft while I was looking at another pouch in store at the Carphone Warehouse & the inside of the pouch is coarse, so much that I was worried it would scratch the device.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Ties0:
Wow, that's pretty cute. I bought one for myself too.

1.69 with free shipping, what can you lose right?:D Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmog:
I LOVE CHINESE

ya I got about 5 different pouches on ebay ranging from 1-3 dollars a piece.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Fidyyuan:
Looks nice but since they make the same pouch for a whole wide range of phones, it seems like it might be loose for the G2. Anyone know of some snug fitting soft pouches for the G2?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gbarayah:
Has anyone tried these out yet? How is the fit? Quality?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] c0nvel:
I ordered one of these last week when you posted it. I got the grey one to match the phone. EBay said it'd be here at the latest the 13th of December.

I just updated my google maps and all of the sudden my GPS works! Just went on a 25 mile ride and tutn by turn worked flawlessly with no hiccups and it locks in a mtter of seconds.
[Captivate General] DKirk:
Confirmed

I was skeptical of your claim, we've heard this before, but dang, something IS different! I've put countless hours into the GPS issue, tried everything, and I'll be darned, the phone does something now that it never has before. Sitting in my same desk position as always, after a fresh reboot, Google maps locks incredibly quick, inside the house, where it never would before, never. Time to lock is probably somewhere in the 15 seconds with 4 out of 8 sats found. Inside! Something most certainly changed with this version of Google maps. I'm running stock ROM (JH7) and only GPS change was to use supl.google.com
[Captivate General] Nerz:
I want to try this but I'm worried if by some chance out messes up ill be worse off. If I back it up using titanium she it doesn't work as well, titanium will restore it just as b4 right?
[Captivate General] roblo:
Well I was just exploring through the Market and noticed I had an update for google maps. So I updated it. As I type this, my phone is locking in a matter of 10-15 seconds inside my house. I posted a few times talking really bad about this phone a few times and was very disgusted . I dont know, it must have been software all along. And now after 4 months I am satisfied!
[Captivate General] curti.nogg:
I hope this is true.
[Captivate General] skinien:
I've noticed that with each google maps update, my GPS gets better, but then goes back to crap. Don't get too excited. ;)

Edit: BTW... with wifi and GPS off, the phone has me in Germany. I'd hope that I'm using a cell tower closer than that.
[Captivate General] FIREONHIGH:
UPDATED,still not working,such a cool phone,i love the movies and music,i love this phone,,just hoping the koreans wont forget the captivated,prisoners? damnit.we should BE getting ginger,they want to feed souryougurt:mad:,****YOU
[Captivate General] Simba501:
My GPS worked well before. I saw this post and decided to try it, since I updated GMaps recently. And there IS a difference. It locked even faster and seemed to track movement better. I'm pleased.
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
I read this just a little while ago and updated mine. It certainly locks much faster with stock settings for gps. I locked on here at work under 30 seconds next to a 21 story building...something it would never do before.I'll try it out and see how it tracks tomorrow while driving around.

Mac
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
Come back here in 3-5 days and tell us it still works. Every single fix to date stops working after a period of time. I strongly suspect it's an issue of the cached GPS Sat positions going out of date. Every time I clear the data in libtstmode, I get a better working GPS.
[Captivate General] devho:
Read the OP and searched for an update. Low and behold, there it was. I had GPS lock within 15 seconds at 35mph driving through town. We'll see if it keeps up; I was among the worst in terms of GPS performance.
[Captivate General] JRd1st:
With WiFi and aGPS on, GMaps always used to put me about 5 miles away when I was in my house, now it puts me close to my actual position (less that 100 ft away, but within the circle of ambiguity), so the new version is definitely better.

Not that this has anything to do with the slow lock for the actual GPS . . .
[Captivate General] bames:
settings

what are you using for Supl/CP Settings

and Applcation settings?
[Captivate General] JRd1st:
I'm using all the default settings except I have Skyhook on.
[Captivate General] nsaia:
This is definitely better. GMaps puts me almost spot on inside my house. However, whatever they are doing may be smoke and mirrors because I still have the same GPS issues with applications like MyTracks and GPS Status (major inaccuracy and drifting).
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
When you all are getting locks indoors, do you have 'Use wireless networks' turned on or off in the Location and Security settings?
[Captivate General] nsaia:
I have AGPS off.
[Captivate General] eep2378:
GPS still sucks for me with new maps update. No lock at all after waiting like 10 min

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:
hopefully this is hte answer we are looking for!
[Captivate General] fatttire:
Its not. You've only changed the front end interface.
[Captivate General] ranova:
unfortunately, if there was a software fix possible to fix the gps, it would have been out by now.

I liked my captivate, but the laggy filesystem and non-working/reliable gps made me sell it :/
[Captivate General] nsaia:
Not necessarily. I read a really good thread about the GPS issue over on Android Forum that leads me to believe that this is a GPS driver issue for the Broadcom 4751 chip. Unfortunately though, this is a proprietary driver which only Samsung can create/modify.

I have about 15 days before my 30 day period is up. I’m holding out hope that the official froyo release will occur before then which will have a GPS fix (Nov 21 is the newest rumor). But, based off of what I’ve read on the I9000 forum any official froyo release will likely be only the OS and will not fix the GPS.
[Captivate General] DAGr8:
kudos to you my friend ...

I been reading a lot about GPS issues lately , that is the first thing I read that actualy makes

real

sense

fyi I have roger's i896 and have no gps problmes at all but guess what my phone is brand new ...
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
GPS is still a crap shoot here. At work I get GPS locks after a few seconds.

At home I can't get one for the life of me.
[Captivate General] k0sun7eash3d:
After the update, it locked under 20 seconds. Not the fastest I've gotten on some other Cog builds, but indoors, it tracked the direction I was pointing in extremely accurately for the first time since I've owned my Captivate.

I will have to test this out on the road to see if this was the fix I've been waiting for.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
I still maintain that if you change the supl server to google and the port to 7276 it takes care of the lock problem. Accuracy is not an issue once it's locked
[Captivate General] polarbee:
Yeah...not so much for some people. I set mine to that months ago and it still takes forever to lock. *shrug*
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
I tried this as well,and only made matters worse not better.

Mac
[Captivate General] polarbee:
The other day Google Maps actually tracked me briefly after I set it to Auto Config. Of course then I went and messed around with it some more, and now it's back to not tracking no matter what setting. Ah well. :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] Tzu2050:
My GPS locks in about 2 seconds and is accurate within about half of an average sized house.

It didn't work at all until I made a few tweaks in LBSTESTMOD.

The new Google Maps seems to have improved it slightly, but it worked well before.

Overall, I'm impressed with my Captivate GPS. It justs seems that people have problems because the GPS performance varies in certain areas because the software is not advanced enough to make adjustments and fine tune the settings.
[Captivate General] roblo:
Here is a video I just recorded, check it out.

[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Nothing to see, huge blue circle and it jumped twice when it first said it locked. Nothing different than stock.
[Captivate General] roblo:
Nothing different? Mine never worked, if you have read my other post. I was really critical and very disappointed , because mine never locked until the update. At least mine is working, without a hiccup. If you knew where I live, I dont get good reception here in the first place. At least now, my gps works. So now I am happy.
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
Tried my tracks on the way to work tonight.It would never lock on..tried google maps..said the best accuracy I could get was 1800 meters. Not real good if you ask me..Looks like it's still broke..

Mac
[Captivate General] nissy86:
I bought an external bluetooth gps. It's accurate and reliable.

You can get it cheap from ebay.
[Captivate General] Nerz:
Yea, I've been using my old tilt as a gps receiver. Even with this update, my position on maps is shown within 70 meters instantly, its still an agps lock, not gps lock, which means tracking still sucks.
[Captivate General] nissy86:
The GPS is really bad without my external GPS. The built-in GPS can locate at least 9 satellites but none being locked. Quite pathetic.

With my external Copilot bluetooth GPS, i could get minimum 12 satellites locked with 1-2meter accuracy. That's a GPS.
[Captivate General] quadcom:
Stock Rogers GPS settings...

Can someone with an un-modded LBSTESTMOD Rogers captivate post up the stock GPS settings. I went and updated mine without writing the originals down (stupid me). The Google maps update did absolutely nothing for me. Living downtown Toronto and can see 9 satellites but can't get a lock on any.

Very frustrating.

Thanks,
[Captivate General] Phredeee:
and I still maintain it DOES NOT fix the problem on my unit.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
What can one say? I'd return it
[Captivate General] Phredeee:
Not an option.

At first when returning was an option I was promised that software updates that were coming would solve the problem. Now I'm told that I need to return my phone for repair and be without any phone for who knows how long while I still pay a phone bill.

Both Samsung and AT&T have lied about the functionality of this phone and now I have no recourse. I was made to change my data plan to boot. Bitter? You bet! And don't tell me to go buy a stand alone GPS. Not the point. I was sold something the phone can not do, period.

Others here have made the changes you suggest without improvement. I am not alone on this. If it works for you great, but do not assume your fix will apply to everyone.

Personally I believe it to be a software/driver issue as I get a fast lock the first time I boot up after a clean load and minor tweaks. After 15 min. of on time my phone is pretty much lost.
[EVO 4G General] Swayyy:
So what happens here is my Gmail is not syncing correctly. For instance right now in the top left corner it shows "5 Inbox" When everything is grey and read. It's not deleting the email from my gmail account either. When I delete the emails manually from my computer, The counter in the top left then returns to "0 Inbox" So maybe its just not deleting the email? I also used to recieve the email almost instantly. Now I will recieve emails hours late... I cant figure it out. I am running on Fresh 3.4 right now.. And I had the same problem on cyanogen 6.1 ... Any help would be great.. Thanks
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
Open gmail. Menu > more > settings > select which labels to sync.

Change number of days to sync up or down by one.

Have inbox set to sync all.

Go to inbox and hit refresh. It should sync now. After that set number of days to sync to 3.

I used to have this problem and since i have done this i have not had sync issues in the past three months.

Good luck.
[EVO 4G General] Swayyy:
As soon as I hit sync it brought all the mail from my inbox to the phone. I was then able to delete it... However it still didnt sync on the server... They are still inbox ...
[EVO 4G General] scirio:
I'm experiencing the same problem. Deleting Gmail cache from Settings >Applications helps for a day or two then it goes back to not syncing.

I do notice that everytime i do that its lasts a little longer each time. But this is a really frustrating little issue.

I'm on the latest Fresh rom. Latest Gmail version.
[EVO 4G General] Swayyy:
I actually just read the comments on Gmail app through the market. It seems a lot of people are having this issue... I hope it gets fixed soon. Its extremely annoying.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
Well i tried and stated what worked for me. Hope you find your fix.
[EVO 4G General] Swayyy:
I know you did.. I appreciate it.. Thanks for sharing!
[EVO 4G General] sobis1dm:
I'm having a ton of issues as well... mainly, whatever I try and send goes straight to outbox and gets tagged as "sending..." It never actually sends. HTC mail is working fine so I've just been using that.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Here's a fix:

go to Menu>Search and search for is:unread then hold-tap on each item (like to copy/paste a text box), and tap "Mark Read"

Works for me every time. It appears that the issue is that when you open and read a message in Gmail on your phone, it doesn't sync that to the server. Hopefully Google will fix it soon.
[EVO 4G General] reverendrhino:
Same here, last night I read on another android phone section, to go into Settings, Sync, Uncheck sync all, then uninstall Google/Gmail account, reset phone, go back & re-add your account, sync. So far its worked for me & no more issues.

By "Hard Reset" I take it you mean power off, battery out, wait, battery in and power on?

Or factory reset in settings.
[Streak 5 General] brooon:
Hey Buddies :)

I´ve happily bought a used Streak for 340 bucks (euros) :D...the seller has told me that he has updated the Streak on Android Version 2.1...but the Systeminfo is telling me that it´s not updated (uh,...that´s what I´m THINKING)

Am I right?

...am I able to update my Streak on 2.2 the normal way or do I have to make a rollback first?

EDIT: And how can I figure out if he did anything "unnatural" to this phone (rooting e.g.)?
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
You are right it has not been upgraded you have 1.6 on board and you have baseband 00 which should get the 2.2 update first no need to roll back as you have the lowest on board now

Thank you very much for your help!! :) So the only thing missing is the OFFICIAL UPDATE!! :mad:

[Desire HD General] Conchas:
I have a BT headset NOKIA BH-903, which supports Callerd ID, thus displaying caller name if in my contact list.

I'm considering to buy HTC Desire HD, but before I'd like to know if Android 2.2 supports 'Caller ID' and if it sends such information to compatible BT headsets?

I've googled for this information, but didn't find any conclusive information.

It seems however that OS 2.2 reproduces the caller name on speaker.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dangrayorg:
Hi,

I want to get the 3-button mod working and then install CF-Root 1.2 on my JP0 Galaxy S.

I'm using Linux and therefore Heimdall and the documentation is a little 'light'. Could someone please confirm that the following procedure is correct for the 3-Button Mod...

1. Untar Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5 (produces boot.bin and Sbl.bin)

2. 'adb reboot download'

3. 'heimdall flash --boot boot.bin --secondary Sbl.bin'

4. Wait for reboot

5. Profit.....

Likewise for the CF-Root kernel the following...

1. Get the JPM version of the kernel (JPM=JPOish)

2. unzip CF-Root-JPM-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1.zip (Produces the Kernel zImage)

3. 'adb reboot download'

4. 'heimdall flash --kernel zImage'

5. Wait for reboot

6. Gain root.....

Many thanks for whoever can answer this.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Benjamin Dobell:
You'll have to specify a pit file with the --pit parameter. Other than that it should work fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
That will not work without a pit file, try 512.pit if that does not work then try 803.pit or 513.pit.

The right line should be when using 512.pit:

heimdall flash --pit s1_odin_20100512.pit --boot boot.bin --secondary Sbl.bin
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dangrayorg:
Thanks Ramad and Benjamin. I've got the pit file (bootloader??) and will flash when I'm feeling brave!!

(update , flashed the 3-button download, successful!)

Does that .pit requirement also apply when flashing the kernel?

Dan
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Benjamin Dobell:
Yeah a PIT file is currently required for all flashes performed using the stock version of Heimdall. This restriction will be removed in future releases.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] philvr:
fixed recovery/download buttons with Heimdall (under linux)

Samsung Galaxy S (locked to 3UK...)

GT-I9000

f/w 2.2

Assuming adb and heimdall are installed and phone is visible under linux ("lsusb", "adb devices") the following worked for me...without a ".pit file....(heimdall-1.1.1-1.1.x86_64 FROM OpenSUSE Build service)

"heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin"

the boot.bin & Sbl.bin are from GT-I9000_P-SBL_RCVDL_FIX_ODIN.7z...

I now get into recovery or download mode EVERY TIME with the three button salute...hope this help someone. NOTE: I'd first updated to 2.2...

Phone originally had 2.1.?? and no recovery/download access via the three buttons. After wallowing around with kiels and virtual box I took the phone into work & updated to 2.2 via the Samsung Kiels on a Win XP system...That proved the basic usb connectivity/update process functioned according to the way Samsung had intended giving me the confidence to work under linux...

He accidently downloaded the droid 2 link instead of the droid x. His phone said welcome to droid 2 on it. Will there be any problems with his phone he will be fixing it later
[Droid X General] Steven58AF:
To the best of my knowledge the issue is in screen size. D2's screen is smaller and apps/rom is made with that size in mind. They can probably just change to the right version and avoid problems without incident. PM me if you have more questions. :)
[Droid X General] HerroMoto:
Thanks, he solved the issue though. He just wiped and then downloaded the correct file. Thanks anyway though.

You can root with one click lag fix but don't apply anything else from oclf just root with it it's the first box you'll see when you open the app Flash it up but make sure you don't have a lag fix running or you'll brick your phone

OCLF off of Marketplace

Select Root phone, follow instructions.

Install Rom Manager (Again Marketplace) open Rom manager, select the first option at the top "Flash clockwork recovery" this will allow you to make backups of your Rom in case of soft bricks, or bad installs.

give OCLF superuser access(will popup automatically when you select root)

I recommend using the Lagfix V2 option, select A size between 1-2GB (1024-2048MB)

I have done this with the JI6 OTA and both min and my Gf's phones.

I also recommend IF you plan on installing roms you have samsung drivers AND Odin installed on your PC with Ready access when you attempt any modification

under the development section of the forum is a post the has the Stock jfd and JI6 roms for our phones book mark it :)

if you plan on flashing froyo, i recommend Obsidian V3, or Onyx R3.1 (personal preference)

Obsidian uses Samsung Touchwiz as standard Launcher

Onyx uses Launcher Pro and has Touchwiz Removed from phone, other then that the roms are fairly similar in quality and stability

I have a paid version of Launcher pro so I prefer Onyx myself. if you like the default samsung launcher then go Obsidian.

screenshots are a slightly modified Onyx R3.1 to my liking. but you get a decent idea on what it looks like. standard dark theme. Black, with a brush metal look. on most menu's including the dialer standard.

oh yes and you flash these through Clockwork recovery, install on internal SD card, open Rom Manager and select "install Rom from SD Card"

i also Recommend you install titanium backup Free version from market.

open it allow superuser access

select "problems" on first boot to force install Busy box.

press menu button --> Batch --- > scroll down to Backup all user Apps + data

after that flash prefered ROM
