[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runngwlf:
Prefetch maps is automatic when you start google nav. This is from http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2010/12/google-maps-5-for-android-3d-maps-and.html "The new 3D view makes maps more intuitive and easier to use, but that's not all. Since Google no longer has to download map images from its servers and vector-based maps require 100 times less data for all zoom levels, it's feasible to cache data. "Rather than having a static set of maps when installed, Maps will automatically start caching the areas you visit the most when your device is plugged in and connected to WiFi (e.g., the nightly charge)." You can't manually control caching, but it's an important first step toward an offline Google Maps."

I bought one from local carrier Etisalat, it has all the features working except the most wanted one "Market". I tried many ways to enable it but no success. Finally I am able to install the Market and can open it after some errors. But now once I select any app to install it shows downloading and then shows error in notification area "Download was unsuccessful, please try again". Please guys help me out of this issue.
[Galaxy Tab General] Filgaliel:
Not sure if it will do any good. But try the market enabler. Maybe faking your carrier will help.
[Galaxy Tab General] imranmcse:
I tried this but this also needs a proper working market application.

In my case the app is not working properly.
[Galaxy Tab General] jackie_jagger:
Hey, mind me asking you which method did you use to get market? I'm not haveing any issues with market on my tab or desire
[Galaxy Tab General] imranmcse:
I followed this blog methods:

"[How-To] Enable Android Market

SOLUTION 1

First option is by changing the region.

In the dialer do:

*#272*YOUR_IMEI#

This will bring up a little menu. Select XSG, install and you are ready to go.

!!!!Be warned though, this will do a factory reset and you will lose your apps and stuff.

!!!!If your going to try, backup everything.

Thanks Ayman07

SOLUTION 2

Procedure :

Install a file manager like.Estrongs or Astro from here:

Transfer it with bluetooth or USB to your phone and install.

After installing the File manager.

1. Go to internal memory root

2. navigate to /system/app

3. Locate Vending.apk

4. push on it to install it

It may force close the first time you run it but the second time it should work.

If you still encounter Force Close or download issues, do the following ( you might want to do it anyway as it is sometimes better to start with a clean slate)

1. Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications

2. Chose All

3. Find Market

4. Push on it and select Clear data

P.S (you might want to use the attached Vending.apk if the one that is on Galaxy Tab fails)

"

First procedure was not working and then tried 2nd one, Market get installed but not able to install any application. Always getting download unsuccessful error.
[Galaxy Tab General] jackie_jagger:
First method has yo work, it changes sales code of the tab, try it again..
[Galaxy Tab General] imranmcse:
I tried that one, there is no XSG or any EU countries code. All are Middleast, turkey etc and I think in all of those market is disabled.

Guys please help me, this issue is pissing me off.
[Galaxy Tab General] jackie_jagger:
do you have KEN? My friend got it to work on his tab with the KEN code ! check it out !
[Galaxy Tab General] imranmcse:
Waooo, I am very happy. Selecting KEN works here in UAE. Superrr!!!.

Thanks a lot Jackie.

[Galaxy Tab General] jackie_jagger:
You're welcome :),

Glad I could help..
[Galaxy Tab General] omar.hindawi:
Kenya works, most of the countries there work, I got mine working on Tunisia I think.

now if you want arabic support as well, your going to need to flash the software to the newer UAE one which also has the Android Market
[Galaxy Tab General] wizzyman:
I am in Jordan.

I tried XSG and still have only free apps. I dont have KEN either.

I tried KSA , the Market icon went off... so I am back to XSG but still no paid Apps. just the free ones.

Any suggestions?

Wiz

P.S. Market Enabler did not work as well.
[Galaxy Tab General] imranmcse:
Market Enabler works only if you have rooted your device.
[Galaxy Tab General] wizzyman:
Thanks for your reply... I did install z4root and I had 2 options, permanent and temp. root.. I did the permanent root and tried market enabler (it keeps on saying: Huston, we've got a problem) then tried the temp. root and the same message appears.

When I used the *#272* method, I am currently on XSG and when I've connected my TAB to my PC it prompted me that there is an update, so I updated it and dont have a clue if my device is still rooted or not but yet again, market enabler is not working.

Thanks again for your help.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
I've been using Android for just a couple days. Really like it, but am being tempted to try a newer build. I've installed 9 different apps from Market; all free so far (I'm traveling and can't seem to "see" the paid apps; but that is a minor issue I'll deal with when I'm back in the States). I would like to retain the apps and the settings. I've also "linked" Google Calendar, Docs and Contacts to Outlook using gSyncit, and would like to continue this coordination uninterrupted. Is this possible, or will a new build force me to start over?

Thanks in advance.

Use "Titanium Backup"
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Get an app from the Android market called Titanium Backup to restore your apps to a new build, first you must back them up on your current build. You must install TB on each new build, but once you get the hang of backing up/restoring yoiur apps and data, it really speeds things up for you in setting up new builds. As for setting up mail accounts and such, I don't know of any way but to just set them up the regular old way. But Android is really fast to get set up compared to WinMo, so really you can d/l, install, and set up a new build in 20 minutes.

Note:

To set up TB, first click the icon for it in your drawer, then in the app, click the 'problems' button at the bottom.

This will prompt you to install a newer version of busybox. Do it.

Then press the menu/windows start button, and choose batch operations.

In batch operations, choose 'Backup all apps and data'

Then whenever you install a new build, get TB, do the busybox thing, go to batch, and choose 'restore all apps and data'

Then you don't have to search the market for each and every app, and all the data for each of those apps is carried over from the previous build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
A little side-note to the above - Titanium Backup will also backup system settings, which includes any accounts you added.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
So, running "Backup all user apps + system data" also will backup accounts? Or is there a separate approach?

Thanks.

-Bob-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Yeah, that's what I've been doing.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raul98555:
I actually went and bought the paid ver.

The main difference is you have to manually backup and/or restore each app in free version and it can batch do it for you in paid, as I end up having around 80 apps before it's flashing time again :)

but as you have only a handful, you are good to go with the free one
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Korshar:
Hello there,

i have a europpean galaxy s i9000 with darkys 5.5 rom installed, and im not content with the battery drainage (except in standby with everything disabled it's ok). Previously on base jpu rom it was MUCH better: 1 hour of listening to music cost 4-8% of batterdrainage, with darkys rom it's already 20% and the back of the phone got really hot! (Same for 3g, wifi-usage and so on).

So my question: What is the best rom for least battery drainage?

my best configurations so far were the following:

-2.1 jm2 rom without lagfixes

- 2.2.1 jpu without lagfix/root/custom kernel, but with battery booster from the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackygr:
I flash JPU 2 days ago,and i m not so happy with the battery,so i dont recomend it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrwadim:
I'm about to try Darky's ROM as it looks like it has better battery life than stock Froyo
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opensourcefan:
There are so many factors that effect battery performance and the individual rom really doesn't have much to do with it. Start with having the most accurate modem for your carrier and go from there. Pick a kernal that works for your application and watch your services.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xipod:
Hello Friend,

I also used DarkyROM and others which included lagfix and finally i returned myself to the leaked version with XXJPU 2.2.1 Froyo and all what i have dobe is that i flashed the CF-Root trough Odin3 v1.3.

Now, i am more thna satisfied , as I entered in third day running the phone without charging !

All the time wifi is in background running as because of mail syncing.

I am not using UMTS network as i set in network settings just to use GSM, as I never surf from 3G and gprs will do I job regarding the mails.

All lag fixses as I noticed drain battery so fast :( , but anyway thanks to their Authors for creating them and making us happy with playing with this wonderfull mobile phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kailashnj:
Hi,

By the leaked version, are you referring to the stock version available for download. Also what did you use as a modem, getting 3 day battery backup is amazing and I will not mind a little lag that the JPU has over darky's rom if the battery life is that amazing.

I have never got battery more than 24 hrs ever.

Regards,

Kailash
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xipod:
Hello friend,

I used this one :

Now connect phone by USB to Your PC.

Odin3 will recognize it by on one of COM ports.

That is all.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] paalkr:
Hi!

I would really like to try out a CyanogenMod build on my HD2. Till now I have only played with the Sense builds. The reason for that is the Sense contacts, calendar and dialer apps integration, and exchange server integration for business mail.

The most important part to me are

the abillity to link Facebook, Twitter and Google contacts together in the contacts app (exchange is not important to me for contacts)

the T9 dialer functionality

the Facebook for Sense integration into the calendar app

and the exchange email client

Does anybody know of any good substitute apps for the above mentioned features? I'm not interested in the HTC widgets and HTC camera.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
1. Shockingly, the Facebook and Twitter app would take care of that.

2. Dialer One seems to be pretty popular

3. Dunno

4. Built-in, called Email
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] paalkr:
Thanks for answering. Does Facebook and Twitter now combine similar contacts into one contact? I think that the newest version of the native Facebook Android app actually syncs with the calendar by default now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jamiemagee:
I think it adds the contact but won't merge contacts with the same name. I'm having the same issue. Gone from sense to CM 7
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Laynee1:
So you are saying that, it links together facebook contact with the contact in your phone, making his profile picture as caller id picture on your phone for example ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
I would recommend you to try launcher pro on top of cyanogenmod7 , even though it doesn't have everything that sense has, it has a launcher that's pretty close to sense , it has widgets like the calendar with agenda, a friends stream for facebook and twitter, or you can do them individually, a favorites widget just like sense, good animation when scrolling thru the pages in the homescreen. I really like it!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Laynee1:
Sorry for interupting, but im intrested in Sense like dialer, and sense like people ( for example, persons facebook profile picture appears as my contact picture, caller id ect..)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lowrider262:
isnt CleanDroid a CM desire build?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jamiemagee:
Apparently if you go to edit the contact then press menu again then you can join contacts similar to linking them where sense is available. This was written by someone else on here. Can see who but credit goes to them as this does work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Laynee1:
Yes, i did that, but pictures for contacts from facebook are ugly and low res

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKrazYx626:
So when I flashed Axura, I copied over a bunch of red files from the stock kernel/modem w/e and I want to re-flash Axura so I don't make the same mistakes.

I created a Nandroid backup from ROM Manager just before I flashed Axura and now I can't go back to it. I've just now been told that I can't go back to 2.1 after going to 2.2, so how do I get back to stock Vibrant so I can flash Axura again?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjhart85:
All right, first you'd go to the developer section and go to the bible thread.

From there, you'd CTRL-F 'stock' and you'll find this:

*How to recover from a "soft brick" on your Vibrant and return to stock. (Phone ! PC error)

It's got directions & links to all the files you'd need.

Not trying to be a **** or anything, just showing you (and hopefully others) where you can find this type of information.

The bible has most of the information you'd ever need for the Vibrant.

EDIT: Also, I generally always odin back to stock before loading anything new, but you should be able to just re-install Axura since it'll wipe. Doing an Odin back to stock does help make sure you didn't keep any ghosts though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
You could try flashing the 2.1 kernel and then immediately trying to restore your backup....

if that doesnt work, you can use ODIN.... I like using the ALT METHOD in the noob guide (my signature).

Axura 2.2 is lovely.... I am on Nero's new release today and I would suggest giving it a whirl.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cassidy89:
Ok, I have everything flashed, everything works... sometimes.

voice and text always works, but internet only sometimes works.

I use wifi tethering and sometimes only the tethering will work, other times only the internet on the phone will work, and other times neither will work. I know its not a bad reception because its always in the same area.

Im using the eris lightning rom, so far this is the only problem.

Any help is appreciated.

I am currently using AR Recovery on my evo. Everything was working fine until two weeks ago when I got major random reboots. I have since fixed the reboots, but one problem remains. After one use of the recovery I am no longer able to get back to it. If I attempt the various means, ie reboot recovery from adb, from cyanogen reboot, from ROM manager and from the bootloader, my phone continuously boots the splash screen in a loop. When this happens I have tried to reinstall the recovery by;

-fastboot

-adb

-ROM Manager

-terminal emulator

These all have given me mixed results as the problem happens after only a single use. One odd thing to note is that one time any reboot recovery command would take me to fatboot, even via the bootloader.
