[General Questions and Answers] Rumball:
Hey folks. I think I found a work around.

Go to Settings>Applications>All

Find Google Services Framework. Force Stop, Clear data and Clear Cache.

Reboot your device and cell tower location services should work again.

After doing the above your market place will be all messed up. To fix, go to Settings>Applications>All, find Market, Force stop, clear data and clear cache. Market place should now work.

The above works for me. Unfortunately the next time you reboot the device it looks like location services are lost again...but doing the above steps restores it again.

Hope it works for others.
[General Questions and Answers] Canadian Nexus:
I have a bone stock Nexus One with the latest version of 2.2.1 and I am experiencing the same problem. My brothers Girlfriend has a bone stock Nexus One as well but on Telus and is not experiencing a problem.

Not sure if that helps the troubleshooting process but thought I would chime in.
[General Questions and Answers] jehuty140:
Thanks for the tip Rumball.

It seems to be the only workaround so far.

I talked to my friend working on the antennas at Rogers and he told me that nothing special was going on that could affect the location. In fact, even is unlocked iPhone 4 was working perfectly. Maybe the problem is a combination of both Google and Rogers.
[Legend General] amarshe:
Hi all, the "h" from the htc logo on the back of my legend has come off. A trivial thing but annoying, it's now just an "h" shaped dent with a couple of glue holes. The metal "h" is now somewhere in Greater London :(

The phone's still under warranty but wondering if this was a common issue?
[Legend General] asyyy:
I have seen it before but not sure how common, try sending it back!
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
Well somebody already mentioned this problem. But his was the 'C'. Its not that common but it does happen.
[Legend General] PandaBurgers:
I make up the trio - I've lost the 't' from the back of mine. It hasn't been through any major falls or anything so it's probably something they'd fix under warranty.

I've noticed mine sounds like there's something moving if I give it a fairly hard tap where the rubber around the camera is; I don't know if that's how it's always been though.
[Legend General] spaztiq:
Crazy, I looked at mine after reading your post and I'm missing the h now as well. Wonder how long ago it fell off...
[Legend General] Asovse1:
Yes! I've noticed that too since day one. The hell is it?
[Legend General] haha123:
YEah I have that too; I think it's the AF lens?:confused:
[Legend General] troupierLEON:
It's the autofocus. Same "klick" as when it is focusing on cam app mode.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
My camera stopped working. Any attempts to use it (via the camera app, goggles, camera 360, etc) gives me a force close.

I called HTC, and they're sending me a replacement, but if the warranty is void, they will charge me a repair fee once they receive the one I have now.

Since it is most likely a hardware issue and not a software, I've heard of instances of HTC letting it slide, but I don't want to pay up to $200 for a replacement motherboard if that's the problem.

Anyway I can improve my chances? I know the bootloader can't be locked.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Flash everything completely back to stock before sending I guess.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
thats what ive heard as well, flash stock recovery, boot, data, system
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
my first Nexus had an unlocked bootloader. I just flashed the Stock ERD2.1 to it and threw it in the box.

Nothing said about it.

My new one, I did the SD card trick in the bootloader to root it without unlocking the bootloader. I guess now-a-days it is a much simpler process.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futango:
I have sent 2 phones with unlocked bootloaders into HTC and i haven't been charged anything. For my third phone i justed the root without unlocking bootloader.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
well the camera magically started working again, and I already put in my credit card info and the other one is shipped

since it isn't broken anymore, should I be concerned?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necrogodomega:
I have the X10i from China and it's in 1.6

I did the "official" update to 2.1 but lost Marketplace and everything relating to the West (youtube, facebook, twitter).

I wanted to know if I can go back to 1.6 and use the 1 touch root app to root the cell that way.

After I root it, how can I update the Android OS? Also what is the highest OS that can be run on the X10? Can we use 2.2 if we root the cell?

Thanks.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necrogodomega:
Thanks, worked.

Still running on the Chinese Android 2.1 though, no market.

At least it's rooted well enough that I can just add files if I want if I can find them.

Thanks for the help.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Reading posts might be a start...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necrogodomega:
Well I did try to flash it to the Global 2.1, but even after it flashed, it was still the same Chinese one. So I guess it's something I did totally wrong then.

So I'll just keep it as it, I'm not sure what else I can do besides constantly trying to flash every copy of global 2.1 I can download and hoping that one of them will take.

Thanks for the advice though.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DavidThompson256:
Hey guys, I've been reading for a while now, finally decided to sign up.

I'm making some modifications to the Galaxy Tab, just playing around and seeing what all is possible. Before I go start deleting potentially important system files, I wanted to get myself a little 'brick insurance'. I'm looking to get a copy of the stock firmware for the US Verizon Wireless version of the Tab (SCH-I800). It is currently running DJ11.

I don't think it is available from either Samsung or Verizon currently, although Samsung HAS provided all of the source code. If I wanted to make a backup of the firmware, something that I could load from the SDCard (ideally, just give it one of those update.zip files) how would I go about doing that?

This is my current plan, tell me if I'm not on track here. I have downloaded the Android Froyo source code available on the Android site. I downloaded the SCH-I800_OpenSource files from Samsung's open source center. If I combine these files as described in the readme from Samsung, and then build the whole project, I should get some sort of "stock" software, in basically the exact same state that it was when I got it from Verizon. Does this sound right?

I want to be able to quickly revert back to like-new set up, so I would prefer to not have to use one of the modified European/International versions if possible. Is there any other trick to getting an unmodified firmware to revert to? Any suggestions?

Thank You
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Yaotl:
I don't think it'll matter until someone creates a new recovery image. If you could get a clockwork recovery image, you'd be a hero :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] foxmeister:
Not even close i'm afraid!

Samsung are only required to release the Linux kernel source. The actual OS is not licensed under a "copy left" license, so Samsung are under no obligation to release their customized Android code.

So, you could create your own AOSP build, but this would be absolute stock Froyo - no Samsung launcher, or any of their custom apps.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] infamousjax:
You can use odin or redbend_ua to flash firmwares, you don't necessarily need clockwork - although it would be nice!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ninja4hire:
Hey infamousjax,

Do you happen to have an update.zip for the verizon tab you can upload? I managed to ninjamorph my framework so nothing opens anymore. I must have used a file that was the wrong png format or something. Anyway I do have the backup framework-res.apk, but I am unsure on the "update-script" as I can't get programs on my tab at the moment.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] infamousjax:
I have the Sprint version... and the stock recovery can't flash update.zips unless they are signed.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ninja4hire:
Yeah I just tried to make an update.zip and sign it with a test signer. Now when go into recovery and run the update.zip it freezes on an Android icon with an exclamation point.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] infamousjax:
Can you boot up regularly?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ninja4hire:
yeah, it's just that I can't open programs or the settings menu.

edit: I have been trying to do an update.zip, but I keep getting "E: signature verification failed". I have tried to different signers already...

This one

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] infamousjax:
Your not going to able to sign it without Samsung's signatures... and good luck finding those :P
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ninja4hire:
yeah I pretty much gave up. I called last night and got the verizon insurance. So now I'm just gonna wait a few days then tell them I dropped it and pay $80 for a new one.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] infamousjax:
just tell them it started bootlooping for no reason... they should replace it for free if its within 30 days
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DavidThompson256:
So it sounds as though I'm not really on the right track here, perhaps I don't need to recompile this thing myself. From some of the replies, I've gathered that there IS at least some way to create a backup of the firmware, in case I screw it up.

Can anyone point me to specific steps on how to do a backup for the Tab? I've seen several guides for other phones before, but I believe that each device is slightly different, and may take different steps. Any suggestions?

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
For your stock recovery

cat /dev/block/bml8 > /sdcard/recovery.bin

For your kernel

cat /dev/block/bml7 > /sdcard/zImage
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DavidThompson256:
Thanks a lot, that info was really helpful!

So, unrelated now, but just kind of curious... is there a reference sheet somewhere or something that explains what each of the files in /dev/block is for? I know they are different sections of the filesystem.

I have about 60 different files in that directory, and was just curious to know what each of them was for.

Thanks again for all the info.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] MartinFick:
What they represent is different devices, not different sections of filesystems. At best (without RAID or LVM) each device holds one filesystem. In unix, filesystems can be mounted at various points into the root filesystem to appear as a single namespace, but they will still be separate filesystems.

Under the block dir you will see anything that is a block device, anything that can be written to randomly, as opposed to a serial type of device. So, all the random access hardware on your device (SDCARD, NAND...) will be represented there except for your RAM. Each physical device will likely have partitions on them so, if a device is named xxx, xxx01 will likely mean partition one on device xxx. Sometimes the same device will appear with several names, one may be buffered access, the other may be raw.

Your internal NAND is likely on the same device, just different partitions of that device. Some of these partitions may not hold filesystems, they may hold other blobs such as a boot loader, or the kernel. To see which ones hold filesystems, you can type df in a terminal and you will likely see which devices are mounted where in the filesystem namespace.

As for the rest of the devices and partitions, they are very hardware device specific. And I don't own a Galaxy tab, so I can't help with that, sorry. But, I hope I didn't give you info you already knew and I hope it might have been at least somewhat helpful...

Is it possible to side load kindle books? I bought a kindle book from a non-amazon-specific site (http://www.monergismbooks.com/Overcoming-Sin-and-Temptation-eBook-p-19461.html) and then uploaded it to the kindle PC app and synced it.

I can't sync it to the phone. And sending it to the phone through dropbox doesn't seem to work either.

[Android Software Development] wes_s:
if it's in .mobi, you should be able to just place it in the "kindle" folder on your SD card. I have several ebooks that were in different formats that I converted for the wifes kindle into .mobi from other formats (epub, .lit etc) using calibre. I can place them in the folder on my droid X and the kindle app will open them just fine.

Thanks, I think I tried that, but I'll screw around with it some more. Where can I find the calibre program?

[Touch CDMA General] xport:
I have recently upgraded both my wife and my phones to Incredibles. I wanted to post here to see if anyone is interested in the two Verizon 6900s we are no longer using. I wanted to offer them here before they hit FleaBay. Both are in excellent condition, had soft silicone cases and screen protectors their entire life. Both have single very small cracks in the white plastic around the screen. I can take pics if you want. Both are in excellent working condition and have clean ESNs.

I have plenty of cables (including audio) and car chargers with both, etc...

I was running Fresh Froyo on them both until the upgrade.

Hit me up if anyone has any interest in them, if not FleaBay it is....
[Touch CDMA General] solarpolitiks:
How much are you willing to sell them for?
[Touch CDMA General] Prowess:
Before you give them out to just anyone...

xport,

I vote for l1q1d, n2rjt, or Scott Ware, or anyone who doesn't have a vogue that needs them to test the kernels, etc.!
[Touch CDMA General] xport:
Make an offer, I haven't even really checked the market value yet.
[Touch CDMA General] solarpolitiks:
Just bought one for ten bucks, but I wouldn't at all be disappointed with you giving them to another dev working on the kernels, that would definitely help the rest of us Vogue users
[Touch CDMA General] xport:
How do I decide who is in the need?
[Touch CDMA General] mikurej95:
I would definitely say l1q1d for the kernels. and someone that would make builds.

now im going to be a little bias here, but i would like scooter to get one because he has the cyanogen mod distributions
[Touch CDMA General] Prowess:
Who do you think would spend time on these phones?

The one who is willing to take one or the one who is not going to take one?

Private Message each developer.

Ask them if they would want one.
[Touch CDMA General] Prowess:
Wise and quite possible, one for l1q1d, if he is willing.

And one for Scooter, if he is willing.
[Touch CDMA General] l1q1d:
I have a kaiser and a polaris thank you for offering but i'm quite good for now Also i don't know if a verizon phone could work in italy.
[Touch CDMA General] mikurej95:
One thing, do kernels affect the screen calibration?? if it does, i would strongly urge you to get one. if it doesn't, thats fine, but the camera does need some work. however, it wouldn't work because it is cdma and there is no sim card slot.
[Touch CDMA General] xport:
Okay guys they are up for grabs, what devs want them/should have them?
[Touch CDMA General] Prowess:
I would of suggested thoughtlesskyle, because he's willing to assist, very kind, and yet not expect any contributions yet still gets some, but he's moved to another phone.

Only ones left that are quite nice are n2rjt and scooter1556!
[Touch CDMA General] xport:
Can someone get them to send me their address via PM as long as they are interested?
[Touch CDMA General] n2rjt:
We all move on to new phones eventually. The vogue used to be the best supported of the group, thanks to dzo, but since he moved on I don't know of any developers who have vogues.

I don't think I'm a good choice, since I haven't contributed much except lots of posts. And I have already benefited from the generosity of loserskater, who gave me his old kaiser when my old one's SD reader stopped working.

You really want somebody who has Verizon service so they can work on geolocation using cell towers. I have AT&T, and won't be willing to buy Verizon service just to test Android. And since the Vogue lacks wifi, that means I won't be able to test data at all. I mean, I'd take a phone, pay the shipping, and do rudimentary testing, but I would instead advise selling it on flea-bay.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
@OP,

If you are going to sell them, your market value for a Vogue is roughly $80 if it is in good shape (the case of the member who got it for $10 is a little extreme tbh)

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] camalot:
Ok, BIG change starting with 2.x. I am now running a froyo (jk6) build so I will be doing more work with froyo based keyboards instead of the eclair based ones. I will not have any way to test the eclair builds any longer so if someone wants to take them over, send me a message and I will give you the sources (including build scripts).

With 2.x I have started to use the gingerbread keyboard that has been floating around. 1.x builds will continue to be eclair based.

NOTE: Currently the 2.x builds WILL replace your stock keyboard. In order for the auto-complete, I had to revert to using the stock package name. You cannot have more then one of these keyboards installed at a time. I will change this as soon as I find a solution.

I'm absolutely not responsible for anything that happens to your phone from installing this.
