This would be useful. In theory, could we not create a file for Europe or the US that someone could download in advance?

Seems kinda obvious, has no-one done this, or created an app to do it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GrimStranger:
It seems like backing up those files won't help. I did a wipe and reset of my Desire HD, copied the backed up files to the cache directory. When Maps launches it removes all previous files and starts afresh. Bummer :(

I remember I used to play this game when iPhone first came out, caching the map tiles with OfflineMap.
[Wildfire Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Hi there !

I got my first Android (HTC WildFire) so can imagine I'm noob to these. I rooted the phone everything works fine now. I tried the CyanogenMod 6.1.0 (Stable) for HTC Buzz it works great but the main problem is the Location services is not detecting my location(India). GPS was enabled. Then the next problem was HTC take atleast 5 - 6 mins to reboot everytime. The Live Wallpapers just says it's loading and I left there for 30 mins still no improvement. So went restore the backup before i installed the ROM. So I wanted to know is there a way to fix this so i can use CyanogenMod If not then could you suggest me a ROM that has HTC Sense in it. I really like the features.

Thanks in advance,

Shyam
[Wildfire Android Development] bassmonkey:
If u want sense... stock 2.1, wildpuzzle 2.1 (more performance than stock but more bugs) or modaco's 2.2 are the way imo.

As far as non-sense roms none do it for me, I guess I'm a sense whore lol :)
[Wildfire Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Thanks Mate ! In your opinion which is good ROM without HTC Sense ?
[Wildfire Android Development] bassmonkey:
I had a hero before wildfire and it was always between cyanogen and vanillainRom. I learnt then that I really love sense so since getting my wildfire I've stayed with sense based roms so I can't really say. Just nandroid and try I guess

even the most talented devs were noobs once... so there's hope for the rest of us! :)

openfire v2.3 has worked well for me, although im also looking for a 2.2 rom with sense that actually works

Hi,

I recently got asked by a friend to flash his google nexus one phone. like a mug i said yes and now i have a issue where it turns on, vibrates 7 times and stays at the splash screen with the x on it. I can boot into the fast boot / recovery mode but nothing works.

this happened after i tried to root the phone, it said waiting for device and didnt do anything so i killed the app (Superoneclick) the phone disappeared from device manager and now wont go past the splash screen.

Does anyone have any idea how i can get it back? .. thanks in advance for any help.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
I'm guessing, since you used S-O-C, the bootloader is not unlocked. The only way I know how to fix it is if you OEM unlock it. You'll need fastboot and your Android SDK setup correctly.

Once you have the setup done, change directories to the tools folder, wherever you put your sdk. Boot your phone into fastboot by holding the trackball while powering it on.

cd C:\asdk\tools\

Plug your phone into USB, and check if the computer sees it

fastboot devices

Unlock the bootloader (THERE IS NO GOING BACK! You can never re-lock a Nexus)

fastboot oem unlock

Now you can flash a boot.img and system.img (preferably pre-rooted) from fastboot, and it should boot normally. If the phone boots, the phone is perma-rooted, and won't need any other rooting procedure (you just need to flash a rooted rom). Next time, be a little more careful ;)

Hi wdfowty

at running the risk of asking for more help and making you cross could you post some links to these downloads?

I am a total newbie to these phones and want to make sure i have the right apps.

thanks again for the help and the quick response... and if i manage to get this phone back believe me it will be the last one i try to flash !!

cheers

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
Nah, you've got me wrong. I'm all about helping people that are willing and able to be helped.

Follow this guide, it'll walk you through the steps to set up your sdk and unlock the bootloader. The guide is a little dated, so the info might not be 100%, but it's generally everything you'll need to know. If you get stuck, feel free to ask.

Hi again,

when i run the command fastboot devices i get an error AdbWinApi.dll is missing.

it tells me to reinstall the app but i have done that and also run all the updates and i still get the same error?

Interstingly i also get the phone to fastboot and it says in red text on the phone fastboot.usb but i cant see anything in device manager that says Nexus one etc?

any more help appreciated.... worst case you dont fancy a christmas break over in England do you?

cheers

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehgeekguy:
With the latest version of the SDK tools, they changed the directory for adb and fastboot. Unfortunately I'm not on my Windows machine... but check in the directory where you have the SDK extracted to and look for a platform-tools directory (iirc). From there, you should see fastboot.

So basically where it says this "Type: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" change it to "C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools". Keep in mind that directory name may change... again, I'm not on my Windows machine right now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesabennett:
Hi again,

thanks for the continued help. I have managed to get past that, i have OEM unlocked the phone and managed to copy the flash image to the device using the commands in the link you sent me.

problem i have now is when i go into recovery the phone again just pulls up the splash screen and vibrates 7 times.

i believe what should happen according to the link is to follow the 6 steps below.. even i can do that, but the phone doesnt get that far

//Turn phone off -> Hold Volume Down, hold Power button

//Press Volume Down to highlight Recovery -> press Power to select Recovery

//Backup/Restore -> Nand backup

//Wipe -> Wipe data/factory reset

//Wipe -> Dalvik Cache

//Flash zip from sdcard -> alpha-r##-update-modacocustomrom-nexusone-desire-withadditions-signed.zip (Or whatever other ROM you're using.)

another point is it runs a couple of lines of blue txt relating to the sd card, but it flashes up and dissapears too quickly for me to be able to read it and send across to you.

thanks again and if you can work this out i owe you a beer !!

James
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehgeekguy:
Have you flashed the recovery image using fastboot, or did you only copy the recover image to the sdcard? Step IV in that guide.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
It sounds like you need to reinstall your recovery.

Download the recovery found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611829

Rename that file to recovery.img and place it somewhere you can remember

Boot the phone into fastboot by holding down the trackball and pressing power button.

fastboot devices

fastboot flash recovery C:\path\to\recovery.img

If all went well, there should be no errors. On the phone, use the volume keys to select "Bootloader". It will take you to a white screen with the blue text (ignore it, it's looking for update files like "PASSIMG.zip"). Select recovery, and it'll boot into recovery. If you see menu items, you are good!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesabennett:
I ran the fastboot command and used the flash image ending 2.0.0

this is driving me round the bend !!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
What happened when you used the fastboot flash command? Did you see a bar on the top right of the phone?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesabennett:
i do that and it accepts the recovery file and the progress bar goes up on the right hand side and the cmd prompt says its all good. then when i select recovery the phone goes to the black background with the four coloured cross and the unlocked padlock, vibrates 7 times and just hangs on that screen

beleive it or not it booted up a moment ago and the phone worked like it did before with v2.2 on it. so i am happy now it can be recovered... i just dont know what to do to straighten it out!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesabennett:
yes. the bar goes up on the right hand side of the phone. and i have definitely unlocked it as it now says unlocked at the top of the menu.

The only thing I know is that I had the same problem...

I tried to flash a UK Vodafone ROM on my NL Vodafone phone, and apparently that didn't work...

The only thing that worked for me was starting the phone into download mode (Volume down, home button and power button, if I recall correctly) and then installing the 2.2.1 OpenSwift ROM via Windows Enabler and KDZ_FW_UPD.

Good luck!

[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
You need to factory reset your device if you are downgrading from 2.2/2.3 back to 2.1 etc. Go into fastboot and use the following command

fastboot -w
fastboot reboot

The boot loop is caused by incompatible data that is on the data + cache partitions. A factory reset will solve most 'android screen' boot loops.

it lets you customize all kinds of things related to your notification bar. If you're wanting to upload custom icons, I don't think you can do that, but you have a bunch to choose from.

can you set it to register to the sip gateway only when on wifi or policies like that?

thanks :)
[Nexus S General] AndroidMilos:
It seems to work with the new SIP that comes with Nexus S. BUT..After studying all the documentation and going thru all the screens it appears that it will only work of wifi? So, I removed all my info on that sip account on the Nexus S and installed the Sipdroid/Gizmo5/GVCall back as per your previous post on the "how to". This method gives me the option of wifi OR 3G. It appears to work . The little green led shows up on top (it does not when using the new SIP stuff on Nexus S) so everything appears to be configured correctly. I have not fully tested it but my bet is that it will work over both wifi and 3G unless of course TMobile somehow prevents this.
[Nexus S General] Paul22000:
I actually ended up going to Best Buy last night to check out the Nexus S :D

The SIP stuff is in the settings, with not too many options. And yes, you have to put in an account. It does nothing unless you have your own SIP account. (What a letdown, Google.) So basically it's just an integrated SipDroid app into the OS, but with very, very few options.

Of course I didn't want to put in my own Gizmo account details into the Best Buy display phone (it didn't have internet access anyway... Best Buy Fail), so I couldn't test it. But there's an option to select when to use VoIP and I forget but the option to select "All Calls" says right next to it "Wifi only" or something.

So I'd imagine this is pretty much useless because

A) It won't allow 3G VoIP

B) For those using VoIP before, other apps (such as CSipSimple) have WAAAAY more options.

C) And in terms of networking/etc, they might even function better since they've been around longer and have been optimized/etc. (Of course, I didn't test that, but just going by CSipSimple's settings menu, there seems to be a lot of customization/options/features.)

Oh yeah, in case anyone's interested:

How's the battery life using the integrated sip?

I've seen my battery cut by almost half for using CSipDroid and was hoping an integrated SIP, as basic as it is, wouldn't drain the battery that much.
[Nexus S General] morfy50:
Wonder what call & connection quality is like too??
[Nexus S General] AVonGauss:
A very limited unscientific test, but calling in to a conference call today using the built-in SIP client resulted in everybody but me hearing an echo. Using a SPA2102 on the same Internet connection resulted in a clear call with no echo. I've done a lot of tests using my Vibrant and could never get the quality acceptable for SIP calls without echo and still be able to hear the other party. The Nexus S so far has performed better, but in my opinion from limited tests still suffers the same type of issue.
[Nexus S General] AndroidMilos:
Well, I did some more testing today as my previous test was just a quickie-that is with the "Sipdroid/Gizmo5/GVcallback" method. With that method I could ring to/from another phone BUT when I tested further, I could only talk/hear from one end while the other phone could hear me, I could NOT hear anything that they were saying. When using the resident SIP that comes with the Nexus S, I could hear/talk on both ends (my Nexus to another phone) over wifi of course. I don't know if this is coming off my minutes yet and will check later today to see that.

So it seems that indeed one can only "Sip" call from the Nexus S via wifi with the SIP that comes resident with the Nexus S. Of course with Sipdroid there are a lot of other settings that I have not explored and maybe it needs to be tweaked? But for now, I am gonna stick with the resident SIP in the Nexus S.

An interesting thing also is that I tried the app "Fring" on my Nexus and that did not work correctly either on my Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] climatic:
Thank you to everyone here for posting some really useful information about Android 2.3 and SIP. I have a sipgate account and the day I bought my Nexus S (I stood in line in cold weather in the morning to get it), shortly after I brought it back to my office, I was able to "just barely" get it to work with my sipgate account. By "just barely" I mean that I was able to place a few outgoing calls but the latency was so extreme there is no way I could use it again. Now what is quite amusing is that I also have a 2008 unlocked Nokia E71 running Symbian (which has a pretty decent built-in SIP stack in its firmware from Nokia (this is before Nokia caved to the mobile telecoms and started to remove their SIP stack from their smart phones). Well well well, I have *zero* problems with my E71 and my sipgate account (other than some latency but the latency I can pretty much live with, I just have to make sure I don't cut off the other person speaking during a conversation and wait for them to finish their point). Actually, latency is really undesirable but the point being is that the Nexus S is my first Android phone and one of the selling points is Android 2.3 built in SIP stack bundled with the unlocked no-contract Nexus S (I paid full price at Best Buy) and for all the cackling and hoopla Google has been doing on their web sites about Nexus S built-in SIP, that I can't get it to work with sipgate buy my Symbian E71 works with sipgate pretty nicely, this is egg on the face of Google and they should be admonished for their marketing faux pas on SIP / VOIP in Nexus S. It makes me wonder if Google is somehow trying to cripple the built-in SIP stack and configuration options on the Nexus S such as to possibly somehow tilt the playing field to favor Google Voice (I.e., forget VOIP on your Nexus S, just get a mobile carrier service on 3G like T-Mobile account and then maximize the heck out of our Google Voice service). Don't get me wrong, I appreciate Google Voice, but if you're going to put YouTube videos together to promote open protocols, user choice, "Pure Google" and so on, at least make your SIP stack on par with the often lately made-fun-of Symbian which has a superior SIP stack and SIP configuration UI options on the Nokia E71 compared to the Nexus S!

note to Google: don't blame sipgate, this is an Android SIP stack and configuration issue.
[Nexus S General] Paul22000:
Question:

When you call out, what number does it show as caller ID?

Your cell number?

Google Voice number?

SIP number?

Other?
[Nexus S General] auplainsman:
Nexus S VOIP

I was able to setup my Nexus S to work with my VOIP provider Callcentric. The built in Google Nexus S SIP stack only works on Wifi & not with 3G. You can place SIP calls on Wifi with no additional applications installed as long as you have a account with any VOIP provider who uses/allows SIP.

I used Nokia N97 & N95 for years for making & receiving SIP calls with 3G but the voice quality is usually poor on 3G networks.

Using the native Google Nexus S SIP stack on Wifi I called my parents in India, I used it for approximately 45 minutes, the call quality is not as good when compared with the call quality using Nokia N97 on Wifi networks. The volume is very low even when I turned the Nexus S Speakerphone on and set the volume to maximum. I heard echo most of the time when I was talking, the other side had no issues with echo.

The SIP stack on Nexus S needs some work and I am sure there will be more customization features added in the future. I'd not blame google on the missing 3G voip feature yet as my previous experience on 3G sip calls with Nokia weren't too great. Nokia had sip enabled phones for years and it is still not perfect when making calls on 3G network.

Finally when making calls using SIP the other party sees your SIP number. If your VOIP provider allows it, you can customize your outgoing number to display your cell phone number or any other custom number.
