coPilot and other nav apps force lock on roads besides real position until they can't do it.

Google Maps doesn't do it

And no, they can't access raw gps data, the only way is through google api
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madmack:
see above tracks. While GoogNav might "lock" you on a road, I'm posting the actual GPS coordinates that were received. It may have looked like I was on a road on my screen, but you can see the google nav tracks above that show the points the program received. The pointer hovers all over the place.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Oletros:
All the tracks where recorded with the same program?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madmack:
Yup. my tracks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Oletros:
So, all the GPS data has nothing to do with the program used (Google Navigation, coPilot), it's collected from the same source, Android GPS API
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madmack:
Dude, my tracks *listens* to whatever the GPS is receiving when other programs are using it.

So the main program that was running was either CoPilot or Google Nav. They're the ones invoking the GPS location commands (we know that because my two tracks are so different than each others).

My Tracks, in both cases, sits in the back seats and writes notes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Oletros:
What? My tracks uses GPS API to collect data, it doesn't sniff anything from other programs
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madmack:
You might be right, but then how do you explain the two different tracks posted above ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
regardless of who is right or who is wrong, using any dedicated offline GPS software is way better than google maps/nav

of all the fews currently available for Android, i find Copilot to be the most accurate one, it shows the speed/stops exactly as when a police have a speed gun tracking me.

It is always in the correct lane of the road.

using the other GPS software have some sort of lags, or performance is poor, or the display is lousy, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tlkraus1965:
I agree with using Copilot

On my AT&T Captivate, my gps lock is hit or miss. I was having some major issues getting a gps lock using Google Nav but when I closed Google and opened Copilot the gps locked in after about 8 seconds and held. Google Nav kept kicking on and off. Google Maps had me doing a U-Turn on my way home taking me away from my destination, Copilot was right on track.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erkmasterflex:
Greetings,

When I would try and wake my G1, the screen would not always turn on. I would have to go through the process of hitting end, flipping the screen open while hitting menu repeatedly. Sometimes it would work, mostly not. If I waked the phone, with or without the screen turning on, I could use the touchscreen. Wasn't entirely sure what I was doing of course.

Another issue was the screen "dying" while awake. Example: using navigation and the color and light would drain off the screen.

So all of this leads me to believe that there is something wrong with the cable that connects the screen to the phone body. Has anyone opened up the phone and looked around inside? Would be interested in a fix so I can use it as a remote for the house haha :-)

Any help is greatly appreciated!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagash91:
What rom are you using in your phone?

Anyway this is a software problem, no hardware.

My phone had this "problem" too with some roms.

In general I had this problem with heavy roms (for example hero roms) where swap is enable.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erkmasterflex:
It did it on CM6, cm5, super d, super e, and straight up stock. Between each i would completely wipe data and cache, wipe and repair ext, wipe data again and flash.

If you believe that it is still a software problem, I have no problem trying again :-)

EDIT: another thing is that when booting, the Tmobile G1 screen won't always show. Need to manipulate the screen to it to show.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obso:
If it goes on and off as you move it around on the boot/recovery screen then it is probably a hardware problem.

It's a fairly involved process to change it. You basically have do completely disassemble the phone. A little google searching can find you the factory disassembly guide (i'd post it if I knew it was ok or not).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erkmasterflex:
No worries about posting a link :-)

I'll give it a go! Thanks for the tip good sir. Will post results once I get around to it

Cheers
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenobio:
Just want to mention that I'm having a very similar problem with a second-hand G1. Just as the OP did, I tried several different ROMs to see if it was a software issue (stock, CyanogenMod 5, Froyo for Trout, now on TheOfficial DS). An additional symptom that mine is suffering is that the screen tends to go blank if the keyboard is flipped open quickly, which contributes to the "hardware problem" theory.

At some point in the near future I'm going to have a go at it using the service manual. Sorry can't post URLs... it's http colon slash slash mikechannon dot net/PDF Manuals/HTC%20Dream%20SM%20%28A04%29.pdf

I don't have big hands so the G1 is the perfect size phone for me...hoping to get this working reliably and then to hand off my Motorola Milestone to the husband, that thing is humongous to me. (Ironically spouse is an engineer with a Master's degree and a lot of experience with electronics but I do all the phone maintenance.)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenobio:
After some minor surgery, seems OK now

I went up to "disconnect the display FPC" step on page 32 of the service manual. Then I reassembled the phone while trying to make sure that all the cables were plugged in as tightly as possible. It's rather fiddly so please make sure you have good fine manual control. (This was my first time disassembling a phone.) The "screen blanking" problem seems to be cured now although I am trying to be gentle when opening/closing the keyboard. At least it doesn't randomly go blank by itself any more.

My father had given me a set of electronic screwdriver bits for Chinese New Year, perfect timing, thanks Pa :D You will need the Torx 5 and 6 and a Philips 0 bit. I also used the flathead bits as levers as I didn't have the plastic lever in the official HTC manual, so the edges of the housing are a bit ugly now :(

Hi,

I am based in the Middle East and do not have market in my galaxy tab. I hard reset my device and installed astro file explorer to check if vending.apk is available. It does show vending.apk, but the file size is zero and more over in system/app ,all the applications have .apk & .ODEX file but vending has only .apk ,which is 0 bytes. How can i replace the vending.apk and also add vending.odex to system/app. I tried root explorer but couldnt successfully paste vending.apk file. Any help will be really appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] wknm:
I can help,

Just type *#272*IMEI*

Hello guys

I need Your help with flashing a custom ROM. I flashed Froyo on my device, but I cant install any other ROM. I want to try all Darky's Legendary Steel Edition v4.1, my phone is rooted.

When I boot into normal recovery <3e> it wont allow me to install any update.zip. It says the file is broken and stops the installation. I have tried ROM manager to install clockworkmod, but still nothing.

Ive seen the [CF-Root v1.2] JPH JPK JP6 JPM JPA JPO thing but I dont know how to use it and which version will be OK for my device, as the version are:

Please help me I think its veeeeery easy but I jus feel that Ive lost a tiny thing at the beginning and thats why I cant finish that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dopeee:
yeah you need to convert to recovery 2e first to get clockworkmod to work, which you are doing with Chainfires file. You can only flash it via Odin too. I think kernels are different per froyo release (hence the different files) so if JP2 isnt there, best ask Chainfire if he can make one for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djjaku:
Well I think I bricked my phone :( I managed to put I9000_JPO_JPO_JPP_JPO_XX_XEU on my phone, then tried to install cf-root via odin and after reset it shows me only small picture of a phone and computer with exclamation mark between. Any chance to fix that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
Can you get to download mode? If so just reflash a 'stock' rom (preferably one that is supported by CF root :P).

Actually, I'd suggest flashing one of the older eclair firmwares, since those come with default 2e recovery, and are pretty easy to root. Then upgrade directly to Darky's rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djjaku:
Unfortunately there is no chance to get it into download/recovery, neither 3key combo nor adb. I have even tried the hairdryer trick :). Im going to drop it in my nearest Tmobile as a warranty fault :)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JarrettXavier:
It's an executable that runs on your Windows PC. You simply plug in your phone and let it go. It restores your phone to factory as if it had just come from Verizon (7.28 radio, stock HTC recovery, stock sense). RUUs are leaked from HTC and contain official builds of Android. The only modification that will stick is s-off if you had previously run Unrevoked Forever.

After 4 minutes? On a fresh install you should wait 10-15 minutes as to builds the data.img file. That concept is written ALL OVER this forum.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JonSolo:
Make sure the build is in a folder called Android on the ROOT of your SD card.

In the Android folder it should contain the Haret, zImage, and CLRCAD files as well as a Data folder and the other misc files for startup and images. Make sure you click CLRCAD first and then Haret. Do this as close to booting into WM as possible.

[XPERIA X10 General] UltraNEO*:
Hi, since upgrading my Xperia to 2.1 I've notice something really annoying and all I want is for it to STOP!!! :mad::mad::mad:

Has anyone noticed whenever they sign into their google/twitter/faceache account the mobile's automatically sync's it's contacts? However instead of updating the outdated information with recent edits (either online or on the handset) it adds to it!!:eek: Often leaving a single entry with multiple parts (if you get what I mean) and multiple copies of the same address, number, email and notes in a single contact.

Does anyone here a solution to this?

I just want it to bleedin' STOP!!!

It's sooooo damn bloody annoying!!

I like the mobile contact list to remain the same, unaltered by it's software sync utility yet I like my emails to be pushed... So far, I've played with the phone till i'm completely stressed, only to achieve nothing!

STOP SYNCING my contacts!!!!

ALSO...

Where's the option to have assign different colour flashing LED status, for various types of notifications?

i.e.

Green - missed call

Blue - new sms

Orange - new email... etc...

[Streak 5 Accessories] bitziz:
ok so basically I couldn't decide which one I wanted, so ended up ordering all three of them. Now I've got all of them, I figured I'll give us a quick review and some photos so other people can easily pick between the three of them.

This is a photo of all three cases, Impact, Communter and Defender

So here we go:

Impact

Pros:Cheap, offers decent protection, easy to take on and take off

ConsA lint magnet (REALLY!), doesn't look very classy, doesn't have cover for the ports, not easy to take out of pockets, lack of belt clip

This is the first of the three cases I got. It's the one I've used for about a month already. My biggest issue with it is that it's a big lint magnet. The case picks up all the dust and lint in your pocket and I find myself constantly cleaning it. Also the lack of covers for the ports can be annoying especially if your pocket is quite dirty :)

front and back of the Impact.

Communter

Pros:Classy look, hard shell, doesn't seem like as much a lint magnet as Impact, ports cover, buttons are a bit recessed on the top much nicer than the Impact buttons

Conslack of belt clip, bottom HDMI port cover doesn't seem to snap in place and is lose, took me a few tries to put it on right as it's rather a tight fit, not as easy as the Impact to take off and put on

This is the case that I think looks the nicest out of the three. The hard shell and finish on the back make it look really classy. My two issues with it are the HDMI port cover doesn't seem to really hold in place (see the photo below) and I'm worried that over time it may rip off and it doesn't have a belt clip. The perfect combo would be Communter with Defender's clip.

front and back of the Communter, as you can see my Streak is in there currently.

showing what I mean by the HDMI port cover being lose.

Defender

Pros:Belt clip! best protection out of the three, port covers

Cons:Too expensive, too big, when out of the belt clip doesn't feel all that good in hand

This is the most expensive of the three cases and to be honest, I was rather disappointed. When out of the belt clip, the defender just feels like the Impact and I felt the outter part doesn't fit all that nice around the hard inner shell. I was worried it may peel off over time. Also the Defender does add quite a lot of size to the Streak so it may carrying around it much more difficult. Even with the belt clip, it is a rather big thing to carry around on the belt. Also, with the snap in belt clip, I find it a bit difficult to take it off for calls, maybe if I kept on using it i'd get better.

thickness comparsion of the three. The last photo has the Defender with its belt clip removed.

front and back of the Defender.

some shots of the Defender's belt clip.

Ok, so that's it. I think the perfect combo for me would have being the Communter with Defender's belt clip but as life is, I'd settle for the Communter. Hope this is useful for people who are thinking of buying an Otterbox case. :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] undrwater:
Thanks for the review. I agree, the commuter seems to be a nice "just right" between the two. An option for a screw-in belt clip would be nice, but I prefer to carry in my pocket.

Please fix links to your pics. Maybe a more permanent hosting.
[Streak 5 Accessories] bitziz:
I didn't realize they capped the bandwidth, i'll have to fix it later tonight when I get home as I don't have the pics with me at work.
[Streak 5 Accessories] bitziz:
ok, images fixed :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] Lord60:
I have the first one, and I must say that I agree with everything you say except for the lint issue. I don't have that problem at all. If lint is your issue, perhaps it's your laundry. As for the bulkiness of the case, hate it. The buttons are too pronounced, and the port is not protected at all. This case is fail. Anyone want to buy this off me?
[Streak 5 Accessories] rnj79:
Thank you very much for these reviews! I am waiting for my Defender case too arrive. I ordered one from Dell and waited and waited, then got an email saying there had been a delay. I found one on eBay for $20 less plus free shipping so I ordered it with intentions on returning the original back to Dell if it ever got here. The day after I ordered the eBay, the Dell one had been shipped- go figure!

Anyway, I am anxious for it to come. I dropped my IP3g two weeks ago and the glass broke (no otterbox) so I quickly ordered one for it and it arrived last night- LOVE it! I'm hoping the one for my Streak is a good as the one for my IP.
[Streak 5 Accessories] vagelis:
Great review and thank you for saving me from doing it :)

I too have all three cases, and have settled with the Commuter as my daily driver, for exactly the same reasons that you are describing.

The Commuter feels indeed as the most polished of the bunch; really adding to the Streak's classy look, plus the added protection. It does feel a bit more slippery at times though, due to the hard shell plastic.

All in all all three cases are great protection options for the Streak.

It feels like a device has it made in the market, when OtterBox decides to support it.
[Streak 5 Accessories] bitziz:
Peronsally, I really like the belt clip of the defender, just feel like they should have made the belt clip an option for the Communter as well. Or if the Defender had a hard outter shell instead the Impact like rubber outter shell then it would have being perfect for me.
[Streak 5 Accessories] bitziz:
Yeah, most likely it is my laundry. However, do you not find it collects dust really easily? Also can't wipe it with a tissue as the white stuff from the tissue gets stuck on it too...
[Streak 5 Accessories] fards:
maybe a bit of silicon polish sprayed onto the impact case would help with the lint issue?
[Streak 5 Accessories] pceasar:
Damn, just bought the defender not many pics online, thanks for this, though a bit late for me. None the less I'd still need a belt clip or something to put on my hip, hating current pocket carry.
[Streak 5 Accessories] bitziz:
Have you got your Defender already? I found the Streak is still too big to carry on the hip...
