[Galaxy S I9000 General] cenonmin:
Hi all,

I don't know if this will help anyone but it seems to have resolved my GPS issues on the I9000 running stock JPO (with z4root and OCLF).

Prior to this workaround, my GPS was crap and I was about to give up on it. Also, it was fine when I upgraded to JPO initially and then got worse after a few days and then became totally unusable. Note that I am not on any mobile plan (just prepaid calls) so I do not have AGPS assist at all.

I saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6QnNMxuCig&feature=related which mentions that you can use GPSStatus to update the AGPS info on the I9000.

Not expecting much I tired the AGPS update and to my surprise my GPS is now working like a dream, I get locks within 10 seconds and the tracking now works! I tried tracking in a bus where I am seated near a window and it works 100% (it was raining hard as well). This did not work at all before. BTW, I used CoPilot for the tracking test.

So updating the AGPS does help and also might explain why my GPS worked after the JPO upgrade and then deteriorated over time.

Anyway I hope this help someone coz it worked for me :)

Please. Even orange has admitted the gps problem and agreed to exchange it for me...

There's no point doing this type of setting. A good gps should be working without too many complicated settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Schmich:
A-GPS is assisted GPS and uses the network to get better/faster fixes. Get out of the city and you'll find out your GPS is probably just as bad.

The Nexus S was delayed due to hardware problems. Once the hardware was fixed and the phone was passed through the FCC again guess what part was changed? The bluetooth, WIFI and GPS atennas.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emms:
yeah i read this on engadget few days ago was about to start new thread on it glad i seen your comments first. orange do know about the gps issues but still samsung is quiet on the issue. After slagging off apple about there antenna issues i highly doubt they will ever admit to the antenna's being the sole cause of gps / wifi issues alot people are reporting. if this is not the case then why re-design new ones? samsung you dirty rats this is my last samsung phone ill ever own!.

Strange that some work and some dont. I've used Google nav and co-pilot since August on a daily basis without ANY issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dm-digital:
Well if it's a hardware problem it can't be an issue with all Galaxy S phones. Mine seems to work pretty well even from the ground floor of my 2 story home.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:

Thats why i asked what the problem was mine seems ok .

So if its a hardware problem then its either a part like aerial so why should my aerial be ok and others not . Or it could be a bad connection on the board that would be more likely as its poor GPS not across the board on all sets .

I bought my phone 30 days ago for $258, then today the G2 is FREE to new customers like me!?!? I called tmobile and asked for a concession and they basically told me tuff bananas ... wow I've been a customer for less than a month and I feel raped....
[myTouch 4G General] esincho:
What does the g2 promotion have to do with this phone?

T-Mobile did not screw you. tmobike did. Call them up and ask for a free phone of your choice.

Prices always change. Give it a rest. Next time buy from tmobile, not tmobike. Their prices are better.

Really!?!?

The exchange/return period is only 14 days if u activated in the store and 20 days over the phone or web....thats like going to wal-mart on black friday cause the tv u bought 31 days ago is on sale for 300 dollars cheaper...ur outside the return/exchange timeline....prices are always subject to change.....and of course if you get the phone when it first comes out ur gonna pay more the phone is always cheaper a month or two after release...

Everybody knows ur gonna get good deals on everything on black friday and cyber monday...so u kinda raped urself buddy
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
You screwed yourself, I got my 2 MT4G's for 30 bucks a piece with new contracts from T-Mobile a month ago by negotiating with them. It is not T-Mobile's responsibility to make you not an idiot.

Lol I got it from TMOBILE ... the xda app has no EDIT POST feature...

And I originally bought the g2 and returned it for the mytouch 4g, but if i had known the g2 would be FREE 15 DAYS LATER, I would have kept the g2 if it was free....
[myTouch 4G General] surfnhawaii808:
And NO I DID NOT KNOW about free phone deals on cyber Monday, so everyone does NOT KNOW :(

If I had known I would have waited 15 measly days and got it FREE ....

Oh well I will just use it for 6 months and sell it for $400 on Craigs list. I will have exchanged it for a new on by then anyway as there is something between the screen and glass INSIDE PHONE as others have had same problem (see that thread). I'll have no trouble selling the new replacement for $400... heck I sold my iPhone 3g for $280 on craigslist....

The mt4g is a very nice phone and I'm enjoying it so Ill get $258 worth of use outta it in the mean time...

Aloha from a old man in beautiful Honolulu!!!
[myTouch 4G General] surfnhawaii808:
Well T-Mobile redeemed themselves in my eyes today via 611.. they gave me the PREFERRED DISCOUNTED ANDROID PLAN for unlimited data for $20 a month instead of $30, saving me $240 over life of my contract, which added up over the contract means i paid a whopping $18 for this awesome phone...

Now I Don't feel like I've been ripped outta $258 I paid for a phone i could have gotten FREE 15 DAYS LATER...

Aloha from beautiful Hawaii
[myTouch 4G General] hawaiian.monzta:
Soooo your surprised? Every carrier gives better deals if you WAIT and not buy the phone when it first comes out. Everyone tends to buy the phone as soon as it drops. After a month they give deals to keep sales up and get more people in
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
So what exactly did you tell 611? I paid the full upgrade price for the phone as well ($258) and have yet to send in my $50 rebate. I was an existing T-Mo customer, by the way.

I was a NEW customer...

Not trying to be an ass or anything, but resell values on Android phones are miserable compared to iPhones. I sold my 1.5 year old iphone 3GS for $425!!! but my 2-month old Samsung Captivate sold for only $340!!! YMMV
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
I recently sold a 3 month old Vibrant in mint condition for $300, with 2 gel cases and a spare screen protector. The Galaxy S phones in general are losing value very quickly, perhaps because of all the known issues.

You are, however, correct. iPhones definitely hold value, because Apple is very strict about price control. They don't allow resellers to sell the iPhone for less than a designated price point.

As far as selling a 6 month old MT4G for $400 goes, I highly doubt that will happen. A brand-new MT4G goes for $450 without contract through T-Mobile, and Costco Wireless sells it for $400. After using the phone for 6 months, I'll be surprised if we'll be able to get $250 for it, especially with the dual-core phones that will be out by then.
[myTouch 4G General] vw671:
I bought my brand new MT4G for $399 no-commitment. ;) Not expecting over $300 when I sell it.

Vibrant re-sell values are even worst then Captivates since there are more out there for sale. Another reason why Galaxy S phones are going down in price is the lack of an official Froyo build and the likelyhood of a very very slow or even non-existent Gingerbread build.
[myTouch 4G General] danyune:
I bought my 4g without commitment and I just asked for the 20 month plan, they said ok
[myTouch 4G General] surfnhawaii808:
Cool!

Aloha from beautiful Hawaii

Where did you get the $399 price from?
[myTouch 4G General] vw671:

[myTouch 4G General] ArcticWolf91:
Lmao @ Tmobike!
[myTouch 4G General] fw_:
I feel like it also has to do with the fact that there are always new phones coming out. A 3GS is worth more than a Galaxy S because a 3GS is one generation back, but a Galaxy S could be more, depending on how you define what a generation on an Android phone is. There's always new hardware, software, and so on. 4G phones and 1GHz phones, phones with or without FFCs, and so on.
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
Agreed. That and the fact that Apple strictly regulates its prices. Look at all the different price points for the MT4G - with Apple, the 16GB version retails for $199.99 (with a 2 year AT&T contract, of course) everywhere you go. Needless to say, you'll never find a BOGO deal on an iPhone, or even a heavily discounted deal. As such, Apple devices tend to retain more value than Android devices.
[myTouch 4G General] surfnhawaii808:
Yep, XDA needs to add a EDIT POST feature to their phone app.... :)

after doing a little rerading.

I found a link about flashing roms and another about a 3 button download mode.. and that you should check that this mode works... before you even try to flash so after reading it I tried it out...

yes my unit showed the correct screen but thats a far as the topic went..

and thats exactly where my phone sat for quite a while, after about 5 minutes of this screen being on my hone it progressing I figured that since there was nothing for it to download that it would exit out after a few more minutes and not exiting I decided to remove the battery as nothing else seemed to work....

yes I did read do not turn off unit.. however I was not downloading anything as the sim was removed and the wifi was turned off on my router.. so I could not see that this would cause harm..

however now my phone is in a boot loop...

I pulled the batery for another 10 minutes and replaced still the same... can sombody please help me..

I have searched and found nothing....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Targanon:
Well I fixed my issue.. I went intothe recovery mode adn selected reboot system.. the top option.. and all is good.. I would have thought that removing the battery and restarting the system wouldhave been the same but it seems that the system must read stored info. on reboot..

Yay all good I feel I learned something...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crobs808:
I am thinking of using my 2-yr upgrade discount and getting the Samsung Continuum phone. I see that it has a front facing camera; however, is that functional in Skype Mobile? (Similar to the ability of the iPhone4 to video chat from the front of the camera?)

If not, is there another program that supports Skype protocol and the front facing camera for streaming video during a call?

This is the only thing keeping me from getting a DroidX, which does not even have a forward facing camera. If the Continuum can do front facing video in Skype calls, then the DroidX is not worth getting IMO. If it cannot, then I will go with the DroidX since it is superior in every other way (except the Display clarity)

Thanks

im determined to get down to some fallout 1 and 2 on the go on my dhd and iv had a look into the bluetooth keyboard routem just seems a bit much to spend 30 odd gbp on a keyboard online to discover it wont work on my DHD.

Pls someone put me out of my misery and direct me to a bluetooth (or micro usb) keyboard and mouse set up that will work on the DHD

i will be most grateful

[Desire HD Accessories] kingoddball:
How are you playing Fallout 1 and 2!?!?

You will need scripts to get HiD working. N900 can use keyboard and mouse via BT (and USB now) but you need to get scripts, and I'm guessing this would be the same.

Look and see if anyone has it running on Desire or Z. Should be easy to bring them over.
[Desire HD Accessories] mehmehmen:
This is my point I'M NOT PLAYING IT YET but this is down to the fact I have no keyboard or mouse yet. And as for how I would run the Games I wud use a dos box style emulator then play the Games. Th insides of the dhd specs show up as good as my mums desktop which I play fallout on so I imagine if u can get doom ported to Android fallout will be no buggy either. Can u imagine the joy of long train journeys with fallout to keep u occupied. As for the second paragraph of ur post I have no idea about any of that stuff. I have seen a MINI bt keyboard saying it is desire Hd compatible but until its confirmed I ain't parting with my cash.

[Desire HD Accessories] FrenicX:
Cyanogen includes a program called Bluekeyboard JP

I have used my logitech bluetooth keyboard with mouse trackpad designed for the PS3 with it before.

Detects it as an HID device and gives a keyboard option in input settings. Works farely well.

I have tried all the other bluetooth keyboard apps in the market and none of them enabled me to use it until I used cyanogen.

Thanks matey that's interesting to know I checked the compatability log and saw no android support although there was threads on android driver support. What did you have to do to enable the device and what is the emulator I see people speak of that it uses? Is it a dose emu?? Also what games have u played using it and how is the response of it?

Thanks again

Using Freedom Pro Bluetooth keyboard with DHD

To original poster for this thread,

Thanks Midgeslayer, that looks very cool. Just friggen expensive in South Africa. Just under $200 :(
[Desire HD Accessories] Yoshi_523:
The safest option would be I'd say using a BT Keyboard like the Freedom Pro or maybe trying out Bluetooth JP or other software on another BT Keyboard.

The cheapest way if you don't own a bluetooth keyboard would be to use a USB Keyboard and create an adaptor or USB Dongle as follows. Again I'm still too nervous about this. If someone with a better understanding of electronics and the Desire HD could explain to me if solderding up this USB Dongle which shorts a pin on the USB connector is safe then I'll do it... The parts can be bought from dealextreme.com or ebay for next to nothing. Mini USB Keybaords are also very cheap.

Here's the link:

http://gigaom.com/mobile/how-to-add-a-usb-keyboard-to-an-android-phone/

Which do you think would be better for saving battery, a USB keyboard or a Bluetooth keyboard? I am wondering if any real difference as I am planning on doing this for full days of lectures and typing notes.

Possible Blueinput solution

I can't say about the DHD, but you might like to check at the teksoftco forum

I am running their Blueinput driver with an Apple Wifi Keyboard on a Nexus One v 2.2.1 OK. Only snag for me is that the keyboard has a Norwegian layout and Blueinput treats it as a US one..

According to their website Orange UK are about to offer the freedom universal bluetooth keyboard for a measly £7. Does anyone know if this version of the keyboard is compatible with the DHD in the same way as the Freedom Pro?

Hi all,

I have searched Google and this forum but cannot find a solution to a problem that I thought would be a little more common.

I have created an application from a guide in a book I am reading but when I try to run the app in the AVD I receive the following error:

The application ****** stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. FORCE CLOSE

This is not much help so I looked into logcat and found the following error:

E/dalvikvm( 493): Unable to open stack trace file '/data/anr/traces.txt': Permission denied

I don't know if this is the cause of my problem or maybe a second problem. I am running the AVD on Linux and there is no /data directory in the root of the filesystem. I (relucantly) created the directories in questions and set the permissions to 777. However this has not resolved the problem.

Is anyone able to help me understand what these errors mean?

Thanks.
