Oh, I should have known. Stock here as well. I better get to reading about flashing a rom, because I want to rotate AND play rocket bunnies.

Just wondering how can i store my city (small one) by cache then use it with my gps, no data. Thanks!
[Vibrant General] Gomjabar:
In order to make auto rotation work for me the first time I had to check "Use sensor aiding" in Settings>Location and security. But now that I un-check it it does not make the auto rotation stop so idk....

You should be able to manually rotate by placing two fingers and rotating them. Actually if you leave one finger in place you can rotate around that finger. Its really cool, this has to be the best multitouch app I've used.

Im on 2.2 (JK6 + JL2 modem + super_IO kernel)

So I opened up maps last night in my living room and a popup said "your compass is not calibrated. Move your phone in a figure eight a few times in the air to calibrate"

So I did it and clicked the popup and it locked on my address immediately. This is the first time my GPS has been correct inside the house.
[Vibrant General] Gigamaster89:
Tested it out and...it was okay.

I set the GPS to a route while I was under wifi, then went out for a drive. It got me to my place just fine, but getting back and/or trying to take a route you previously stored...nope, no go.

Has anyone gotten this to work on a stock 2.1 phone? I downloaded the new Google Maps and cannot get the tilt working. The compass isn't working either.

[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
Ya know I updated maps today just because market said it had an update and sure enough it was for v5.0. the very first thing i tried was tilt and rotate. When rotate didnt work i thought i was doing something completely wrong. reading this just makes me mad because anybody claiming android doesnt have fragmentation (they're out there) is smoking crack. The features that are left out if you dont have 2.2+ is starting to get really frustrating.

I have installed in my HD2 many build but all of this have for me a big problem: all doesn't connect with APN used PAP authentication and user e passswd not null. For my work I must use an "aziendal APN" that must have a PAP authentication. All the build installed failed the connection. I have tested two bulid ANDROID-native ( on a DESIRE phone) and they work very well. What is the problem in HD2 configuration ?

In Windows Mobile mode, if I set a wrong password, the connection failed and I have a message of failure. In Android if I set a wrong password, the connection goes ACTIVE but there aren't byte in reply from the network.

Any idea?

Tanks in advance.

I can't remember trying this on rmnet builds, maybe it will work, it seems that when nand versions start to appear we will have rmnet working, we just have to wait a bit more.

Yesterday I have tested the build "NexusHD2-FRG83D_V1.8_(Froyo_2.2.1" that have the possibility of switch between PPP e RMNET.

In PPP my connection is up but I see only tx data, non response from the network; in RMNET instead, the connection doesen't go up and the code is "failed autentication of user e/o passwd".

Now I think that the functionality of PAP authentication has many fault in PPP and also in RMNET.....

[Epic 4G General] Djinn23:
Hi all.

I have a question that I have searched for, tried some apps, and have yet to get what I am seeking and shoud be kinda easy IMO.

I am seeking a way to forward all traffic over wifi through a remote ssh server of mine. I am hoping to do so without changing browsers as I am seeking more than just a browser proxy. I tried apps that claim to do it without success (like the Tor app, and transperent proxy). I think icould get connectbot do do it if it was aded to su, but haven't figured that one out yet.

Any suggestions would be loved.

Thanks.

J
[Epic 4G General] Djinn23:
Guss this iras harder than I assumed. Does anyone have any suggested solution for my needs? Could ready use some advice fire travel tomorrow.
[Epic 4G General] Djinn23:
Sorry for bump
[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
You should be able to foward (nearly) all traffic with OpenVPN. This requires having OpenVPN installed on the proxy machine. Setting this up is a bit tricky, but there should be HOWTO guides available online for it. One of the things you'll need is tunnel device support for your kernel. If it's not compiled in (might be on some of the custom ones), you'll need a tun.ko module. The one in this thread is for the DI18 kernel. If you're running Froyo kernel (e.g., DK28) and it's not compiled in, then you're probably out of luck for now.

Alternatively, if you can live with just HTTP/HTTPS traffic being forwarded, you can use an SSH tunnel along with an HTTP proxy (e.g., tinyproxy) on the proxy end. If you're using the stock browser, you'll need a proxy that supports transparent proxying (tinyproxy does) and you'll have to add firewall rules to the phone to force HTTP traffic over the tunnel. Some alternate browsers (e.g., Opera Mobile) support HTTP proxies directly, so you don't need to add firewall rules.

Assuming you already have an SSH tunnel setup on (localhost) 8888, this firewall rule (entered from a terminal like ConnectBot local) will force all traffic destined for port 80 (HTTP) over it:

iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8888

you can clear the rule with:

iptables -t nat -F OUTPUT

To forward HTTPS traffic, add a second rule using "dport" 443 instead of 80.

You should be able to use ConnectBot to setup the tunnel. Assuming the proxy port on the proxy-end is 8888, you'd setup a rule for "Source port: 8888", "Destination: localhost:8888".

However, the last time I tried doing port-forwarding with ConnectBot it didn't quite work, pages would load partially then stop. Using another ssh client solved the problem. You could try installing dropbear, then from a terminal (e.g., ConnectBot local) run "ssh -L 8888:localhost:8888 user@host".
[Epic 4G General] Djinn23:
Mk... Thanks for the detailed reply. I will play with your recommendations.
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
I found this while faffing around finding tools for themes... download droid explorer from http://de.codeplex.com/ it gives full root access to your streak like using root explorer. Seems to only be for windows 32 & 64bit but they may have other versions. It also has options to reboot, flash recovery, backup, install (with icons etc..), desktop sms, logcat console, screencast (live screenshot view, im watching myself type on streak from desktop! Which has options for call, home, infact everything.... it fully emulates my streak allowing full control via desktop..very cool), has a colour coded console shell, package signer, sqlite explorer.... list is enless and i havent even looked through tools yet! Has anyone else tried using it? :)
[Streak 5 General] Radimus:
I saw this on the other post and downloaded it. It rocks. The screencast isn't remarkably fast, but it is the best around.

Thanks

You do have to be rooted, but that isn't a big deal.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Nice find tina thanks will have a play with this:)
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
Yeah you need to be rooted but most of the functions are only useful for rooted phones so its fair enough, i enitially posted it in response to a thread where someone needed to flash without fastboot, he was struggling so when I stumbled on this I thought it was a perfect solution... then I realised how cool it is and started a thread to share with everyone :-)
[Streak 5 General] superutp:
hmmm cud prove useful....nice..:D
[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
Nice find tina!!!

Though I'd wish the guys that made the screencast app would continue working on it as I've been using the app for a while now and I've posted a few comments/issues about how the screen appears upside down and that all they need to do is allow the user to continue rotating the image around as is just visually upside down and not physically (as in the actual touch area). So for example even though the notification bar appears along the bottom of the screen, you still need to click and drag down from the top, so if the devs just allowed the user to cycle through all 4 orientations then this would be awesome. As well as making the ' and left key work. :(

As for the rest of the program, I love that I don't have to mount/unmount the SD card no more :D

INSANE battery drain. 6% of battery usage after 20 minutes on a 16+ hour life
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
That's hardly "INSANE", especially if you have the battery-hungry GPS on.

6% of battery in 20 minutes = 3.3 minutes of each percent when in use would equate to about 5.5 HOURS OF ACTIVE USE WITH GPS ON!!!

hmm. how is that insane???

In fact, the vector maps SAVE battery because they use 100x less data (Source: Google - "Viewing maps uses almost 70 percent less data than before, but we can render usable maps at any zoom level with 100x less data, which allows for the large pre-caching.")
