Wow, there's so much negativity on these forums sometimes. I wish people would stop being such whiney little *****es. If it's been posted and answered before and it bothers you that much, just move on. Forums are a place for helping and spreading knowledge. Contribute something, or don't say anything at all...
[Epic 4G General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
We are contributing by trying to *bully* some sense into a format(forums) that was tried and true, within our circles, until those who probably don't fit into anything we do here, (just want hand outs) come and muddy the waters....

I go to a good number of forums daily, and this nonsense is only on xda.. There are forum rules, if people can't live by them, they shouldn't post...

I enabled use wireless netwok in location services but in google maps, or any other app it doesn't find my location.

I am not sure if it worked on stock because I didn't know about that setting till after I flashed a custom rom.

Tried different roms and it doesn't work. However I noticed that it worked in epic experence 2.0.1 froyo rom - but I don't want to run froyo right now.

Now if I enable wireless and gps it gets. 30m lock. However I want to just use wireless network for location (I don't need an exact location lock, just general location for searching for businsses locally)

Maybe this is a known issue but driving me nuts. Thanks

So yeah 2.2 it finds my location No problem. Flashed back to stock 2.1 and it is says location can't be found at this time.

Is there some APK I can update it with from 2.2 lol. I don't mind sticking with 2.1 till 2.2 is officially released but ugh its really annoying having to put gps on just to look up a store nearby or something.

I am having the same problem with 2.2.1 build FRG83D, I wonder what happen as it was working on 2.2. It is a very annoying that it stop working. I am on Rogers network in Canada. I tried everything and nothing work. Anyone knows?
[Epic 4G General] monnie27:
i used the GPS a lot in the stock version of the Epic 4G and everything worked perfectly, I flashed to 2.2 and now when i use it, it says my location is about 10-15 blocks away from my actual location 0.o, however, when i connected to a wireless network and refreshed the GPS, my location was correct, the only thing is that the navigation wont start, it gives me the driving directions, but the spoken ones never load up fast....ugh

[Nook Color General] milkham:
Is anyone having basic build quality issues with the NC hardware? I just exchanged my first one because it had a mushy power button that didn't click, and the replacement i find makes a creaking noise whenever i grab it by the left side. I know it's going to drive me crazy if I don't exchange it again.
[Nook Color General] devis:
I haven't experienced any of those... in fact I find the construction to be quite solid. Bad batch maybe?
[Nook Color General] bruceleroyjr:
I returned my first Nook Color because there was a dust speck in the screen. I couldn't rub it out and it kept bothering me so I brought it back to B&N and they gave me a brand new one. I wonder what they will do with the one I gave them. Everything seemed to work except that one dust particle in the screen.
[Nook Color General] fr0zentreat:
Mine had a dead pixel which awoke after a bit of use, but other than that (and I'm picky) it's been really solid. The touchscreen is a bit wacky at times, but that could be me - I have extremely dry skin and that can cause issues.
[Nook Color General] godsfilth:
this plus the frame on my first was loose and the sd door magnet didnt work right my girlfriends (bought at same time) has no issues
[Nook Color General] seattlecard:
Funny, I am having the exact same issue with my NC. Creaky left side. Kinda makes a 'click' noise in about a one inch spot on the left middle by the screen. Kind of annoying but I suppose I'll live with it..
[Nook Color General] tmats811:
Definitely experiencing the creaking as well, and now I am noticing the back left side has some 'give' to it, allowing me to actually push it in slightly. The right side is perfectly firm. Anyone else notice this? Only had it for a few days, so if this is an isolated issue I will return/exchange it.

Thanks
[Nook Color General] califrag:
+1 mushy power button here too.

no dead pixels though so I think i'm going to keep it.. I've got 'QuickBoot' installed anyways as a workaround
[Nook Color General] blamejake:
Mine is creaky, too. Everything that matters (to me) appears to be working well.

The top frame may be a 'snap-on' thing that snaps-on from right to left resulting in a bit of a space on the left side about a 1/3 of the way up. I'm sure most folks are sensing/feeling/hearing the 'creak', especially when moving through different ambient temperatures.

Touch and squeeze most of your devices (notebooks, phones) that are composed of different materials, e.g. plastic and metal, and, more than likely, they 'creak', too.
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
I have the creaking too. I thought about exchanging it but I don't really notice it anymore.
[Nook Color General] msid:
I returned my first nook color because of the creaking on the right side. It only happened after the device warmed up.

The second one is now doing the same thing on the left back. As much as I love it, it doesn't seem very solid.
[Nook Color General] Hypntick:
Yeah i've got the creak top left corner. Doesn't bug me much but I do plan on keeping an eye on it.
[Nook Color General] mtmyers:
I've got the creaky left side too. It hasn't bugged me too much, but the USB cable did catch on fire when I plugged it into my Nook this morning.

So that was fun.

[Nook Color General] Nooter:
The first NC I brought home had a dust particle right in the middle of the screen, too. Exchanged it, and the new one creaks right below the N button. No power button issues, though!

Ahaha, funny joke. !.

:eek:
[Nook Color General] gedster314:
I'm thinking of returning mine too. I have creaking. Anyone else have a bowed panel where the home button is? The left side is about a 0.5 mm lower then the center and the right side is about 0.25 mm lower then the center.

Such a shame. It is nice device. Its the best built android device I have seen.
[Nook Color General] mtmyers:
Seriously, the USB cable sparked and caught fire when I plugged my Nook Color into it this morning.

It didn't appear to damage the Nook, but the USB cable end is burnt and blackened.

Needless to say I'll be taking it back.

I'll take some pictures in a bit.
[Nook Color General] mtmyers:
Took some pictures, I'll post them when I get 8 posts under my belt and can post pictures. ;)
[Nook Color General] Hypntick:
You know, that actually doesn't sound far fetched to me. For some reason the USB cable does not want to work in 2 of my known working USB slots. Windows gives me the standard "USB root hub has detected a power surge" message. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if it caught fire. I plan on seeing about a third party cable if I keep running into weirdness with it.
[Nook Color General] Amin Sabet:
Mine's a little creaky on the right. Ie, makes a slight click sometimes. Decided that it's probably normal and will not bother to exchange.
[Nook Color General] SCIONTX:
I have the creakiness on the left side and some mushiness in the back. The only time I notice it is when I take it out of the cover. I tried reading without the cover, but I prefer the cover on. No longer notice the creakiness and mushiness.
[Nook Color General] teknikk7:
As weird as this sounds, the AC adapter makes an odd noise when plugged in.

Was it the cable to the nook that caught fire? Or the cable plugged into the AC adapter when this happened?

I don't feel like taking everything back, my rooted unit works perfectly. Do you think I could get away with just taking the charger back?

Is anyone having a problem with the sense player where if you're listening to a playlist or album, it sometimes just stops after a song? I've read where others have problems with the player stopping in the middle of the song but mines finishes it and won't continue onto the next track. The occurrences seem random and I'd have to click the next button. Is there a fix to this? I'm running stock 3.14
[HD2 General] JustX:
Same thing has been happening to me. I think it has to do with the stock SD card being ****ty. It never did this before, then within the last 2 months it started to happen. I updated from 2.x to the new 3.14 rom and it still happens randomly. So I dont think it's a rom specific issue, but I may be wrong.

[HTC Aria General] kickmongwi:
Ive been reading a lot of threads here that mention rc1 and rc2 and cm6 etc. I rooted my Aria quite some time ago and wanted to know more about the specs I guess? Not sure really what I'm asking sorry.

What I used to root my phone was:

Unrevoked 3.2 and #009 update.zip

and I believe that included ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1

1). What did I ultimately put into my phone so that when reading threads on the forum I can put two and two together. Would like to make more mods to the phone but want more education on what I did in the first place.

2.)What is cycling your battery? and why do people do it?

3). Also what is the difference in using the nandroid backup vs the titanium?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Answer to #3: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853020

By rooting using Unrevoked you did indeed install a new recovery app named ClockworkMod. When you boot into recovery mode, ClockworkMod allows you to flash new ROMs and apps to your phone that are stored as zip files on your SD card (you need to download and copy them to your SD card).

Cycling your battery involves using your phone until the battery is fully discharged and then fulling charging it and then letting it discharge again. In some cases you may see mention of going into Settings and clearing the battery statistics before you cycle the battery,
[HTC Aria General] mikelebz:
clear your battery stats in clockwork when the battery is fully charged to 100% and then some, then let it drain fully, charge again to 100% and then some.

you do not need to do this all the time. i've only done it once when I went from stock rom to CM6 for good measure.

[G Tablet General] artisticcheese:
Anybody has any idea why I'm getting "file is too large to copy" when copying 7 GB file to internal SD on Viewsonic G-Tablet when 13GB is free?

I guess it's becouse it's formatted as FAT32. So how do I exactly get any MKVs which I have which are all more then 4GB to play on my G-Tablet? Can I reformat SD as exFAT or some other format which supports bigger file sizes.
[G Tablet General] Crimton:
i know after a while of me copying and deleting stuff my available space would get smaller. after 2 weeks of use i noticed this, so i erased everything off of the internal and i was left with 5gb of free space. i reformatted to fat32 and had my 12 or 13gb back.
[G Tablet General] artisticcheese:
Issue is not with available space but file size limitation on FAT32 of 4 GB.
[G Tablet General] Crimton:
ah i see, don't know then :/
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I don't think there's any fix, at this time. I read that Froyo's VOLD (which controls the mouting process) only supports vFAT. The previous VOLD at least supported EXT2/3(?) which was helpful for us Linux folks.

This is really a big issue given the limitations of FAT32 and the fact that none of these bozo vendors can agree on a standard format.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] eitama:
If you are like me, you like using contacts stored locally on the phone.

Also, you don't like your gmail contacts (contacts automatically added to your useless contacts list on your gmail account).

I have 120 contacts on my previous phone, and about 700 useless contacts on my gmail account.

When I started using android, it synced all the contacts and I ended up with 800+ making my life hell, and my phone slow.

So I found a way to get rid of all the damn stupid contacts, Goes like this :

Backup ALL your contacts for your phone to a vcf file

Copy that file to your PC

Open your gmail account, delete ALL the contacts you don't need - I just deleted ALL my contacts.

Open your phone, delete ALL the contacts.

Using the script below, and activestate TCL, clean your script. It will only leave contacts with phone numbers.

Copy the new vcf file to your phone, import, job done.

The script requires :

Copy the pasted code into a file, save it with .tcl extension.

Activestate tcl installed, OR, tclsh tclkit executable in your PATH.

Then, you put the script and your vcf source file renamed as in.vcf in the same folder

Run the script in CMD, "tclsh <scriptName>"

You get a new file named out.vcf

proc exportContact {} {
global contact fout counter
if {[string match *TEL* $contact]} {
puts $fout BEGIN:VCARD\n$contact\nEND:VCARD
incr counter
puts "Copied"
} else {
puts "Skipped"
}
set contact ""
}

puts "Welcome, Lets get rid of contacts without phone numbers!\n"
if {![file exist in.vcf]} {puts "Error - Cannot find file in.vcf,\nplease put it in the same folder as this script and try again.\n\nPress Enter to exit";gets stdin;exit}
set counter 0
set fout [open out.vcf w+]
set contact ""
set fin [open in.vcf r]
while {![eof $fin]} {
set line [gets $fin]
if {[string match "FN:*" $line]} {puts -nonewline "Inspecting $line...";flush stdout}
if {$line eq "BEGIN:VCARD"} {
continue
}
if {$line eq "END:VCARD"} {
exportContact
continue
}
append contact $line\n
}

close $fout
close $fin
puts "\nCopied $counter contacts with phone numbers to out.vcf,\nimport that file on your android phone.\n\nPress Enter to exit."
gets stdin

Is it so easy???

vCard format is ASCII

None ASCII chars are base64 encoded, so it's stull ASCII which makes this very easy to parse

The script can be written with ANY scripting / programming language it's very very easy, I just like TCL, and is my favorite for scripting.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] itenos:
There's a much easier and cleaner way to achieve what you want:

1. Go to settings/accounts and stop syncing contacts on your main Gmail account (the one you are using for email)

2. Create a second new account on Gmail and import your contacts.vcf

3. Back on your phone add this account and enable syncing contacts

4. Never use this new Gmail account for any email so your contacts list stays clean

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eitama:
Thanks for the idea,

But still - I'd had to manually add my contacts to this account cause importing the vcf file would add all the junk i was trying to get rid of.

:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Danzig666:
Or you can simply disable the listing of contacts that do not have a phone number associated with them..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eitama:
That doesn't solve the speed problem, cause the contacts are still there.

That was the method i used before i found out it slowing down my phone.
