Google Maps can continue to function if you lose data coverage temporarily during your drive, since it caches data, but it will not allow you to start a new route without data coverage. (EDIT: Also, if you go off-route without 3G coverage, Maps will fail. This problem WILL be fixed in the new version).

Your best solution right now is something that uses OpenStreetMaps. It's NOT good for points of interest, but it's pretty good if you're using addresses directly.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android#Android_software_supporting_OpenStreetMap

I recommend OSMAnd, Navit or NavDroyd. Again, they're not perfect, and can't replace Google Maps Navigation completely, but they're decent in a pinch if you don't have 3G.

Also, even the new version of Maps isn't going to support downloading maps (AFAIK). It's simply going to cache the streets around your frequently driven routes, so there's no guarantee you'll be able to pull up the route you need.
[Droid Incredible General] worwig:
For me, cached Google maps are not an option. I seldom use routing, just look a scrolling maps, so the software has no idea what it needs to cache.

I want points of interest, so Open Source maps aren't very valuable.

Has anyone used CoPilot?
[Droid Incredible General] raptir:
I used to use CoPilot on an old PDA. For the time, it was pretty good. You can always return it within 24 hours.

I'm using Sygic's Aura, and have had no issues with it. I've probably tried 95% of the nav options for Android since I got this phone, and that's the one I actually kept the purchase...

http://aura.sygic.com/

If you purchase a regional map (I grabbed the full US map pack), they are giving a 10 euro discount, which also helped my decision, lol.

I think the US map pack took around 2.1gb total space on my SD card, so be prepared for that...
[Droid Incredible General] krelvinaz:
Google maps 5.0 will be out shortly. They are vector based can cache large amounts of area with it so that when you are off grid, you still have the map data.

Hi I've just gotten my desire hd from m1 in singapore and I noticed that my phone will just randomly decrease volume still the edu till it toggles into vibration mode. It's as if the lower volume button was being pressed for a long duration. is this a bug? It just does that without me touching the phone and will keep vibrating unless I press the volume up button.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Sounds like something is bridging the contact under the button.

Possibly a fault, take your DHD back and get a replacement.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
In a nutshell: If you are running an aosp rom, pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework. If using sense I think you have to pull com.htc.resources.apk from the same place instead.

Then make three copies of the file you are using. Make one for backup then unzip the second one. You can then look through the unzipped apk under /res/drawable-hdpi for the images you want to change. Use your favorite editor to change the color of the images.

When you've made all the changes you want, use 7-zip to open (not unzip) the third copy of the apk that you haven't touched yet. Drag and drop the edited images into the same folder in the opened apk, overwriting the old ones.

Now you should be able to push this apk back to your phone.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/12/11/data2ext-hack-blows-benchmarks-out-of-the-water/

Pretty big news out of the XDA-Forums today – forum member and resident genius Ownhere has come up with a ‘data2ext’ hack that allows users to enhance the way Android handles OS-specific data and memory. Put simply, this hack allows users to change some partition settings in order to greatly increase performance.

Originally created for the HTC Desire, the hack delivers some outstanding performance improvements and is a must have if you own the device. For more technical information, you can click here. A word of warning, though: this hack is not for the feint of heart as it is fairly difficult.

Interesting.. :P

Pretty nice...3000 points in Quadrant is huge. Maybe we can get something similar to our devices as well...Santa Claus is approaching:)

I read the post howto for desire and it looked sooooooooooo complicated...
[Legend General] BlaY0:
This will be fairly easy to implement... but things could go very bad using this mod. Like for instance if you make a sudden power-off... filesystem may stay in such state that it cannot be mounted on the next boot and for novice users this could mean that wipe should be made to resolve this situation.

This problem should only be there if you really disable journaling. From the original post:

As long as journaling is enabled this should be quite safe. At least thats what journaling is for ;)

If someone will implement this, it would require microSD card class >= 4, to use this hack. Am I right?

Hi everyone,

I am very excited about the Android phones because of it's user friendliness and faster work experience. So, I purchased my first Android phone in the form of Galaxy 3 and using it is not a great experience for me.:(

1. No custom ROM for modification.

2. No custom Kernal for overclocking.

3. GPS problems every time.

4. Battery backup is not good.

5. The icons are also very small 'coz it's ldpi.

6. Bored.

I searched cyanogen website and there they modify mostly HTC phones. I think they love to modify HTC phones only. I always want to have different looks to my phone using themes.. as I use to do in my Nokia phones.

And during some research I also got the information regarding processors; This research concludes that Snapdragon is not good as compare to the Humming bird processor used in Galaxy. So, is that TRUE or NOT.

So I want to know from you people that what would I buy..

HTC Desire OR Galaxy S

Really very very confused

Very very thanks to all of you. But recently on twitter I got to know that Gingerbread will announce on the Galaxy S.

So, is Gingerbread is also come to HTC desire or not.

And on some sites the HTC Desire loses the number against the Galaxy S in the field of u all can see in the link attached :

http://www.simbasics.co.uk/htc-desire-v-samsung-galaxy-s/14514

And the Battery life of HTC desire is already less than Galaxy S as I got know while surfing some sites.

Really very very confused. Please do help to me..............Please
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] habylab:
Hardware and spec wise, Galaxy S should win. But in reality its equal if slightly ahead. The lagfixes fix the... well, lag :P And all other problems are going to/ or are fixed. Its a great device, I would recommend it considering it is newer and a gorgeous screen.

All in all Galaxy S, if your willing to lagfix it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheEscapist:
If your worried about CyanogenMod, it runs on both. Galaxy S is probably more likely to get ports of new stock roms, since it's newer, and because of the Nexus S. Desire is cheaper. Personally, I went with Galaxy S.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ftgg99:
Galaxy s. The desire suffers from buttons rather than capacitive keys and has a redundant trackpad.

Also, its the kind of phone one might buy for a parent.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] badkuk:
hi peeps,

i'm looking for an "updateable" phone..i'm leaning towards the Desire as HTC has a strong track record of updating its phones, as well as strong community support, but on the other hand the Nexus S is out at is based on the SGS, so the updates may stop pretty soon.

The SGS has better hardware, but the recent Froyo update mess made me think twice; perhaps the more "chic" brands like Samsung and Sony Ericsson don't really take updates seriously?

If i go by the thinking that the phone with most units sold will be supported better, the Desire would have the edge right?

So, which phone would you suggest to a would-be Android developer? tia
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Itaintrite:
Nexus S all the way :P You'll be sure to get all the latest updates first, directly from Google. And it's the best Android phone money can buy IMHO.

I just want to know what exactly they are there for and if I check one of them how will that effect my phone.

Hi guys.

I would like to flash, but currently it is too risky for me because i got a netlock. So i have to unlock my Samsung galaxy s.

First i tried to use the SGSUnlockTool but it said if i actually had a galaxy s.

Afterwards i used other methods like your windows unlock tool, but that didn't work too - it said that it doen't find the "nv_data.bin" file.

I read through several forums and i read that the nv_data.bin could be "damaged" because of flashing. The only problem is, i never flashed (at least i never flashed manually) I just flashed with Kies from Eclair -> Froyo and one time i used the kies reg hack to get Froyo on my galaxy s.

So what could I do?

Shall i even unlock my phone before flashing manually?

(SP and all other locks but the networklock are off!)

(btw. sorry for double post)

Thx in advance

Is there a possibility to turn only the phone off on the SGT? When I'm in the plane I want the phone to be switced off but still be able to use the BT headphones.

Go into flight mode (press power button 3 sec). After that you can reactivate bluetooth or wifi in the setting menu (slider on the home screen). Phone radio will stay off. This does not work with the power control wideget strangely.

I use this at home when on wifi and want the calls to be received on another mobile (o2 multicard). At least on my german galaxy tab with phone function this works.

If I put it in flight mode the BT button won't work, as in greyed out.
