Hello All,

I have an issue getting my GPS work every time i start the gps application HD2 wants me to connect to a bluetooth module. i am not sure what is it all about...

Kindly advice also I am in india and MMI (application) doesn't work well. Any inputs.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfX:
I don't know what kind of GPS app is this, but seems to me this app is scanning for a GPS port every time it starts. Set the GPS configuration manually to COM4 and you are done here.
[Epic 4G General] blspyro:
i am thinking about flashing to 2.2 however i have a question what exactly is a modem in which it pertains to froyo?

PyRo
[Epic 4G General] blspyro:
dont know if bumping is allowed but i need this question answered.

PyRo
[Epic 4G General] panthar:
Bumping is frowned upon, but a modem is the radio in your phone. When you see a modem file to flash, it's the firmware for your phone's radio. New versions (like the DK17 beta froyo release) need the modem firmware updated because the kernel drivers will not work with an older radio firmware like the ones from DI18, etc.
[Epic 4G General] blspyro:
the radio has to do with the phones reception correct? theirs no way for sprint to know that we are using a different modem software than they released?

PyRo
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Its possible....but probably illegal on their part to query your phone for that info...No They won't know who is running it and who is not. If they did, they would only really have a good idea just how many beta testers XDA has to offer up :cool:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesey10:
I'm going to Europe in 2 weeks with my TMobile Samsung Vibrant. How do I ensure that my phone won't connect to networks over there, thus racking up a huge bill. I still want to be able to use wifi
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmdub:
I believe there is a setting in the network section (exact name escapes me, and I don't have my Vibrant handy at the moment) to not roam, which would do what you want. However, why not just remove the SIM card if all you want to use is WiFi? That way, you can be assured that it will not be able to rack up any charges. Can probably still make emergency calls though.

On another note, if you did want to use it there without too much expense, you could probably unlock your phone easily if it isn't already and buy a pre-paid SIM for whatever market you are visiting. That is, of course, if you do not already have plans to use another phone and just want to bring your Vibrant along because it is so sexy.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] down8:
Ed Zachary - just remove the SIM.

Phone off (airplane mode)

What if you switch off your radio with AIRPLANE MODE option. It cuts off everything. You will still be able to use WiFi.

Why do you need to have only GPRS OFF in roaming?. what about GSM ? You still have to pay for calls in roaming, right?

Or i`m missing something.

[Fascinate General] fupamobile:
So I am following this guide here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...d-phone-with-rom-manager-full-backup-restore/

that shows how to root/backup/install custom ROMs

I followed root instructions via this tutorial: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...ent/79811-newbie-guide-rooting-fascinate.html

everything seemed to go fine although i dont know how to check if i successfully rooted or not.

**NOTE**while my phone was plugged in the usb port, for some reason my computer kept making the disconnect/reconnect sound as if i kept unplugging the chord. I tried the only 2 USB ports I had with same results. my laptop is 5 years old

The main guide(first link) linked me to this clockworkmod backup tutorial to backup my current stock phone state. HERE:http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/

Now here is the problem. everything seemed to work fine up until the step titled "my first backup"(scroll down). here is what happens:

1)hit "backup current rom"> backup name is a bunch of numbers>select ok.>

2) allow superuser request>

3) then it goes to a screen with a white triangle surrounding an exclamation point and a little android guy and this message:

[Epic 4G General] sirens6:
Anyone else this problem? Rooted my epic with the all-in-one method a week ago, worked flawlessly. Today when I plugged my phone to my laptop (the same one used to perform the root) it did not ask the 3 options (charge, mass storage, or tether). Turned on debugging again, and no orange triangle on my notification bar. I have connected to my computer several times sinced the root and it all worked until this time. Seems as if lost my drivers somehow but I never did anything to do that. Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G General] JGeZau:
Try rebooting the phone while plugged in. I have to do that in my Mac, and I'm running a custom rom, but it doesn't hurt to try it.
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
Try a different usb cable. The stock cable is **** and my pc would never see my phone using it. This is a common problem. Monoprice has them super cheap if you don't have an extra to try.

Even if the stock cable worked once it can be flacky. The other thing is make sure you use the usb ports on the back of the pc.

[Epic 4G General] tibwolf:
Search wasn't working for me so I am going to try my luck with a new topic

My Epic broke a few weeks ago and was denied warranty service, so I suspended my phone service and I will replace my broken screen myself with one from another unit. Assuming Samsung wiped my device during their diagnostics test and my phone would require activation upon boot, will I be able to use my phone without cellular data/voice until I decide to resume my service?

I've read up that the G1s and Droids can be used unactivated by touching the screen corners and I have a link that says the Fascinate can be used with a dialer code (http://androidforums.com/fascinate-tips-tricks/171348-bypass-fascinate-activation-screen.html)

Would any of those work?

[Epic 4G General] live2ride96:
Assuming I'm understanding your question right, the answer should be yes. Sprint sent me a replacement phone when mine was just SUCKING BATTERY. I "switched" the activation from one phone to the other a call to Sprint. When the service was switched, I turned the old phone back on, and it worked on wifi only (no cell or data connection). I'm assuming that signing back in to the market via my Gmail account would have worked fine, but I can't tell for absolutely certain as I didn't actually try it. SHOULD work though. If someone has a more concrete answer, that'd be great.
[Epic 4G General] ramsestut:
Why not pay the $35 at a sprint store for repair? We have to do these and evo's often.

And on topic yes market and email etc work on wifi without being activated.
[Epic 4G General] pyroswithoutfire:
You should be able to. I was using my hero as an mp3 player for a little while after I got my epic. The only problem I ran into was I couldn't sign into the android market on my hero if I was using the same gmail address on my epic
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Sprint fixed my strewn for free. They actually gabe me a new phone at the store since they didn't have the parts. I called and made an appointment but they don't know what happened to my part
[Epic 4G General] tibwolf:
I don't have TEP so the Sprint store wanted nothing to do with me.

I bought a replacement shell with screen on ebay for $35 so I will repair it myself. Samsung wanted $150 to repair it and every single Samsung rep I've talked to on the phone said that their warranty never covers a broken screen under any circumstances.

Hopefully I can make sure I have a working phone before I go off to bootcamp :D

Thanks for the input guys
[Epic 4G General] ramsestut:
Since you already bought the screen, this isn't really necessary, but I work at Sprint and with TEP it is a free repair. Without it is $35. I promise! In another thread someone argued that this was not true, but it surely is. I'd be happy to take a pic of an eticket for someone without tep and it clearly shows the $35 charge populated for cracked/damaged screen.
[Epic 4G General] tibwolf:
I should mention I didn't purchase any insurance on the phone at all ($71.76 a month after all fees and taxes)

The manager at the Sprint store I went to, which also happens to be the only store in the area authorized for repairs, said that TEP would have been $35 out of pocket, and regular insurance would be $100. Once I said I had no insurance he pointed to a phone and said it was Samsung's problem
[Epic 4G General] ramsestut:
If they are corporate or preferred then they are seriously misinformed. The insurance is only for lost/stolen, liquid, or device is in 3 or more pieces. All housing/screen other than that is covered for free if you have TEP or ESRP, but if you only have ERP or NOTHING, then its $35 charge with the option to add tep after the repair or replacement.

I'd complain if they are a corporate or preferred store. If that's the case they are basically saying that they didn't feel like dealing with you, or they have not been properly trained on the new policies.
[Epic 4G General] Chabsin:

I got mine @ the Bestbuy mobile store. The rep there said that Android based phones have to be actived to be used and that was the reason I couldn't play with a real one before purchasing. He would let me play with a Blackberry though.
[Epic 4G General] D3luSi0n4L:
For him to say "android" based phones have to be activated is false. i had my htc hero without being activated and performed a factory reset and i just walked through the setup with wifi and I could do everything on the phone except the phone. When i bought my epic 4g, It was not activated yet I turned it on and messed around with it.

I hope this helps you out!

p.s - i dunno if this matters but both phones had been previously activated but were unactivated through sprint.

Sincerely,

[Epic 4G General] saebodybuilder:
I can confirm that you can sprint does repair cracked screens for $35 ( I also smashed mine with no (none of any kind) insurance. You can also use your phone through wifi by skipping activation.
[Epic 4G General] Chabsin:
You can bring it to sprint even if you have no account with them?
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
^This. There was a recent policy change and this is now the policy. If it is repairable, the repair is free with insurance or $35 without. If it is non-repairable, water damaged, or stolen, then you can get a replacement under insurance and nothing without insurance.
[Epic 4G General] chino0131:
I had a Best Buy guy tell me the same thing and I had to correct him. Best Buy in my area doesnt know much about the phones they sell. I had my Epic for awhile and never had it activated, but I could use it on wifi for everything other than calls. I finally decided to acitvate it and switched back and forth for some time, flipping between my Evo and Epic. Both worked over Wifi, and still functioned without wifi, when not activated on Sprint. Same with my old Hero.
[Epic 4G General] D3luSi0n4L:
Does this include parts? Also what kind of things can they replace? The bezel around my screen on the sides has hairline scratches that kinda bug me, I wouldn't mind paying $35 it they'd completely replace it. Please let me know asap!

[Droid X General] johnclevenger:
Watching the same transition animations over and over is boring. You can speed them up with Spare Parts or you can just shut them off entirely within settings. There is, though, a third road: change 'em.

These are videos of most of the transition animations packs (Drod's rubiX animations, Fab's animation mix, and Android Stock have no videos at present).

Flip

YouTube - Android Screen Transitions

Bounce

YouTube - Samsung moment animations, bounce

Fold

YouTube - Sbtwca

FlyIn

YouTube - Samsung moment animations, fly in

There are two preferred ways to use these animations:

1. Add Animations Using Metamorph: should work for most roms. Thanks Haxzamatic!

Transition Animation MetaMorph Files - http://bit.ly/gwEB5F

Note: there is no current MetaMorph file for either Android Stock or Fab's mix (see below).

2. Manually Add Animations: should work for most roms

This process will be helpful for those wanting to mix and match animations from the folders. In fact, why don't you create your own mix and post it here so everyone else can appreciate your awesomeness. I'll add new mixes below if they come in.

1. Simply get ahold of the anim folder with the animations you want to use and the framework-res.apk from the rom you're interested in modifying (/system/framework/framework-res.apk).

2. Open up the framework-res.apk in 7zip (right click on it, and select "open archive").

3. Drag the anim folder with the animations (which you can download below) into /res folder in your framework-res.apk. This will replace the files currently in /res/anim.

4. Exit out of 7zip.

5. You now need to push the modified framework-res.apk onto the phone. You can do this by placing the modified framework-res.apk in the root sdcard folder, and entering the following into terminal emulator on your phone or using ADB when the sdcard is mounted:

su

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework

mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

reboot

If you're using terminal emulator, your phone will probably reboot before you finish re-mounting and/or typing reboot.

NOTE: This is taken almost wholesale from MagnusRagnarok (initial post) and ronhova (detailed instructions) on XDA; they deserve the credit. Link To Original Post.

Since this process modifies your rom's framework-res.apk, it obviously won't work with other roms. Translation: don't take the framework you've just modified and try to put it on other roms. IF YOU DO THIS, YOU WILL DIE.

Animation Files: for manual addition

Bounce

Flip

Fly In

Fold

Drop In (from Drod's rubiX focused series)

Fly In and Flip Mix (from Fab's Apex)
