[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pspknightx:
Hi guys. Using android on my HD2 and the GPS works great before.

However, right now it always miscalculated my location like 2~3 km away from my original place (Such as home)

Using Desire ROM & Desire HD ROM and both Google Maps same result. Even the Location provided in DHD Rom also same ...

Mind to tell me how to solve it? Thanks.
[Streak 5 General] Valandil3:
Like a regular common or garden dumbass I updated my O2 streak using a rebel simcard to froyo today, forgetting that the rebelsim might not work.....which it doesn't of course.

So I tried downgrading to 1.6 again but I just cant get it to work! I've tried loads of stock roms from various places (4399 and 3833) and loads of recovery images including stock, clockwork and streakmod but I get different errors everytime.

Firstly I get told it cant be verified, then it wont recognise the sdcard at all, then it tells me the update.zip is "bad", and when I do get one to install it won't load past the dell logo.

I'm certainly no retard when it comes to this sort of stuff, but its all rather new to me nonetheless. I understand what recovery image you need depends on what rom your trying to install? I've tried countless recommendations from all over the internet, none of which seem to work.

Any idea's greatly appreciated as im completely stumped. I figure if I could get hold of the current o2 2.2 rom then I might be able to get that to work using the current recovery image (which i have got). Doesn't solve my rebelsim problem of course, but at least it would boot!

Like I said, would greatly appreciate some help!

[Streak 5 General] Valandil3:
Thanks a lot for the link, thought I was sorted but I think thats a dell 2.2 build rather than one that will work on O2 as when it tries to install the update.zip it says it cannot be verified. I can't think what else it would be anyway.

Anyone know where I can get hold of an O2 2.2 rom?
[Streak 5 General] Valandil3:
Tried using the rom found here using the 2.2 recovery

http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/12/...0c#comment-6a00d83451c9ec69e20148c6d068d0970c

But now it tells me assert failed: getprop("ro.product.fota.model")

Sigh
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
The fota error means you have a recovery thats not for that rom. The rom checks to make sure its flashing to whatever version of the streak it was meant for.

Put the update.pkg on the root of your SD card

Download and unzip the attached file, then flash that via fastboot

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.6941.img
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

Hold both volume buttons

select option 2 and it should work

(i think this recovery is for an 02 model so hopefully it'll do the trick)

Reply here if not or just try to find the stock 02 recovery.

good luck
[Streak 5 General] Valandil3:
your an absolute legend my friend, thanks so much!

Still can't make phonecalls for the time being of course, but don't really care right now, just glad it boots again! :p

Hi All,

I re-flashed the att_stock.tar file that clubtech posted. However I don't get the startup screen, it's blank, However, I can hear the startup sound. Once booted I have to hit the power button to wake it up. I need to fix this so I can return the unit.

Does anyway know how to get the wallpapers from Nero beta 3, particularly the one of the eye
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] TheShadowMan:
Download the Nero Beta 3 zip file and extract its contents with your favorite archive manager. You should be able to pull them from that.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] draven806:
I have the beta 3 already, but what is the file path to find where they are located. I searched through alot of files and couldn't recognize anything that may be wallpaper related. Of course I don't really know what im looking for either
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ibous:
Use astro or something else to copy the launcher2.apk from /system/app to sdcard then extract the apk to a folder like a normal zip file. From there you should be easily able to find the wallpaper jpegs and copy. that's what I did to get the carbon fiber wallpaper from beta 3 .

I get this too. I wonder if each build has some unique id tied to it, because this is not the case with my other stock android phone
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JesusFreak316:
If I remember correctly, all HD2 android builds use the same device id so the app sees every HD2 user as the same person. I'm looking for a source. Not a very good way to save game status, imo it should have a login like WordFeud.

Ah, found it: http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/Status at the bottom where it says "device id".
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil_UK:
Hi,

I did a forum search for GPS and only found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=759976&highlight=gps

Question - Is it generally accepted that GPS is poor on the Galaxy S or is there a known fix or ROM where it actually works well i.e. does not take an age to connect and can pinpoint your location to 20m or so.

HTC Hero was miles better.

[myTouch 4G Accessories] II-XeenoX-II:
just a guess here but I'm thinking the bulge is the micro usb connection to the backup battery in the case.

[myTouch 4G Accessories] netter123:
Too bad the MT4G doesn't have an alternate way of charging aside from the usb port so that a case like this could use a less intrusive, low profile, way of making contact. Like charging pins or something maybe...

Recycled one piece silicone case with a comfortable non-slip cover and full protection. Smart sensing, rechargeable built-in battery that keeps your myTouch powered automatically. LED lights that show your current battery strength and charge status

Patented XPAL battery chemistry providing twice the power and ultra thin profile.

Still waiting for something that uses the pins on the side... *sigh*
[myTouch 4G Accessories] crose948:
are talking about the case or a boner:D
[myTouch 4G Accessories] almstasian@gmail.com:
I got this case for 70 bucks from T-mobile store. I have used it for about a week and love it. The bulge is a micro USB connector underneath. You charge the case from the oppisite side when installed on phone. Can't computer doesn't read phone with case installed. The budge doesn't get in the way though. Almost adds a better grip. I would buy it again.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Killbynature:
I just got the case today adds a lot of bulk and the case is slippery.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] 2071:
i saw it at the tmo store but unfortunately i'm not fond of rubber skin cases so i had to pass since i couldn't see it outside of the box but i'm really considering trying it out
[myTouch 4G Accessories] markimar:
That's the one thing I hate about mytouch 4g is the side usb connection!

Can't hold the darn thing while charging !
[myTouch 4G Accessories] ScottC:
Case is a piece of crap because it lacks a power switch. This means it charges the phone whether it has to or not. Returned it today.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] cruzantis:
Epic Fail of Tmobile

1. If you love your mytouch 4g don't buy this unless your phone is called ultrasuperbulkyuglymytouch4g. First it adds alot of weight to the table and considering it only adds twice the juice thats a no GO.

2. OMG the looks the phone looks horribly. Its like having a backpack for camping its just too much.

3. there is a side note that the use of that cover may cause wireless connection issues, I WANT PPL TO READ THE ENTIRE BOX and look for those little and super tiny warning.

4. last but not least the battery charges the phone while it discharges which means it will degrade the battery faster, plus IS SUPER UGLY thanks for reading.

P.S

This is not a troll or whatsoever those who don't believe me ask the tmobile representative to open the package and see it for yourself, you will be dissapointed 100% guarenteed
[myTouch 4G Accessories] BeEazy10:
damn dude im going to start reading the warning booklets that come with the things that i buy .. most of the time i just open the box and hook it right up not knowing the side effect..

but honestly dude ur going to have your negative and positive about things you buy/do(EXP like when you over clock a device) i know you know that

but u got to admit smart ideal

i rather wait to see what similar case/extended battery combo come out
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Talderon:
I bought one of these today, will see how it works over a work week and will report back. :)
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Talderon:
Apparently you keep your phone in a display case for others to "ooooo and ahhhh" over. Me, I actually USE my phone and am away from a charger most of the day.

Functionality over aesthetics in my book. Do I LOVE it? For practicality, yes. Has anyone told me "Oh man, that's so freaking ugly!!" No, not a one. Practical, useful and one hell of a battery boost. I go almost the entire day on the extended battery before the phone battery discharges. That's what I need.

That 1650 mAh battery that's out? Only 350 mAh more than stock, not going to give you the performance of this case/battery combo.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] :
Is it worth it? Im generally around computers and can charge my phone most of the day, but I would like to know if this is something to keep around to just slip on if I have to go out on a long night/day.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] :
No it isn't worth it your battery will drain faster onces it the skin is depleted. Since it charges the battery while the battery discharges. I have one I wouldn't recommend it for anyone. It also has a high possibility of falling out of the case. Since the top doesn't wrap tightly around it. My advice is train your battery and flash a different kernel and rom. To get better battery life then this crap can give.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] keyboardr:
A word of caution: only put this on your phone when the battery is already dead. I've seen plenty of phone batteries absolutely wrecked due to overcharging. Basically after a few weeks of being continuously charged by the case, your phone won't last more than a few minutes without it. Look at your battery now. Notice that it's mostly flat (except at the corners). It'll end up extremely bulged, and your warranty doesn't cover the battery past the first 90 days.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] skoundral:
this thing is cool and sucks at the same time, i like how my battery last all day but i hate how big it is. its like carrying a brick around
[myTouch 4G Accessories] dennistaylor:
In 2008 I purchased a battery backup/charger from PPCTechs and the thing will charge my battery to full about 3 times. I use this in conjunction with Brunton Solaris 6 panels while I'm camping and believe I have the perfect off-the-grid setup for unlimited recharging (of course, I know having a cell phone active isn't exactly untraceable "off-the-grid" - just in reference to needing grid power to charge). My pack is 3 years old and still seems to have near the same capacity.
