[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umaronly:
Yeah, but then what about what I wrote in my first post? It does not make sense if you can 'theoretically' install 2 GB worth of apps but renders the phone useless in function?

Anyone who is actually using close to 2 GB worth of memory for apps on vibrant/Galaxy S?? Would love to hear what you have to say.

How can I use the built in gps with google maps instead of an internet connection....is it possible?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izico:
Google maps does not use gps for the current position?

I have tried google map on some android phones, the map can not locate current position if gps is disabled, so I have always assumed that it use gps only for positioning.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
You need both to be perfectly accurate. Your data connection can only be used to locate you within a few hundred meters. The GPS radio can be used to locate you within a FEW meters. That's why you need both enabled.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chevy454:
i always thought google maps was inaccurate because of the data connection...what if your somewhere with no signal then what?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
If you're somewhere with no signal:

1) It won't be able to download the actual map data (the background/underneath imagery of roads, labels, etc.)

2) It'll take a few minutes to get a GPS fix.
[Desire General] torptube:
I updated my radio using recovery mode in clockworkmod, and after flashing, the phone rebooted. Upon reboot, it just showed the android coming out of a box icon. I pulled the battery out to reboot, and after that, the phone won't turn on anymore. Is it dead forever?

The battery was fully charged when I did this, so I don't think it's that, however I don't have another battery to test it with currently. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Desire General] Kalavere:
You should not have pulled out the battery, it was installing the radio upgrade. Flashing radios is one of very few ways you can actually brick your device.

Can you still access Recovery?
[Desire General] rolfd:
As above, pulling the battery mid radio flash is a sure way to totally brick your device.

Installing a radio goes through 2 reboots, and you should never ever interrupt the process. Unless you can access recovery it looks like you have brick.
[Desire General] atomfix:
Don't know where you heard about pulling the battery out while flashing but that desire is no more than dust now.
[Desire General] Kalavere:
If you can't access Recovery by holding volume down and power button when the phone is off, you have bricked it. The only way you can recover it now is to find someone with a RIFF box & JTAG or to send it back to HTC and pay an extortionate amount for them to do it for you.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Hmmm bad luck buddy... seems that its bricked indefinitely... is it still under warranty? I know its unethical, but maybe try sending it back and mention that you dropped it or something, you might get lucky.
[Desire General] torptube:
Thanks for the reply guys, I guess I truly did brick it, as it won't even power on anymore.

Does anyone have an idea how much HTC would charge for the repair? Am I better off buying a new phone?
[Desire General] Kalavere:
This is why you should always read up on what you are doing before you drive right in, your best bet now is to claim on the insurance or to contact HTC and see what they can do for you. They will without doubt be able to repair it for you, the question is, how much will they charge? :(
[Desire General] torptube:
Lesson learned. Unfortunately, I was following the instructions at the cyanogenmod wiki for the Desire.

I thought the radio update was required to update the ROM, but it seems that that is not the case. Hopefully HTC will be willing to repair it.

As a long shot, is anyone here able to do the riff box/jtag repair?
[Desire General] Kalavere:
I would think they will charge you somewhere in the region of $200+ to repair it, at least. Try looking here I had a little search for people with RIFF Boxes, at the bottom of the page are a list of people who can repair phones, shoot off a few e-mails and see how much they charge to save your Desire, it might work out substantially cheaper than sending it off to HTC.
[Desire General] torptube:
Thanks! There's even a guy in San Jose. Hopefully he can work on short notice.

Was the $200+ HTC's potential repair fee, or the riff-boxers?
[Desire General] Kalavere:
The potential repair fee. RIF Boxes aren't actually that expensive, ~$150 or so, but it's all about having the know-how to use the damned thing.
[Venue Pro General] Wonderstruck80:
So i just noticed this over the holiday weekend. Took about 30 photos all indoor shots some with flash & some without. Noticed on some of the pictures yellowish vertical lines spaced evenly apart throughout the photo. Tried to clean the lens thinking it was dirty. I then noticed the pattern on the flash cover. Began to test this further by taking a picture against a white backround using the flash and sure enough, those yellowish lines were there. Is there something behind the battery cover that I'm supposed to peel off? Can any other owners of the venue pro weigh in on this???

PS I only noticed the vertical lines caused by the flash with iso set on auto/low. When set to 800, they dissappear.
[Venue Pro General] ft55555:
If it's dark enough for the flash to even come on, all I get is a blurry picture anyway, so NO I don't see any yellow lines. All I see is a blur.
[Venue Pro General] Arcarsenal:
The yellow lines were noticed by my brother and I on our original Venue Pros, and we thought it was a software issue. I can confirm that this issue still exists.
[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
take off the back cover and do the same testing. If the problem persist, its the OS or flash itself.

if the problem is completly gone, your issue is the back cover.
[Venue Pro General] Wonderstruck80:
yeah I've already tried this... Problem only occurs with the cover on.. I believe its due to the pattern that is imprinted on the flash cover..
[Venue Pro General] ft55555:
This may or may not be related, but I see some horizontal bands of alternating brightness and darkness when I set the ISO to 800. This is with the cover off too. With the ISO still set to 800, I also see some weird artifacts of pure whiteness that look like some Photoshop effect (like the region was dumped with white using the paint bucket tool). This appears in real-time on the on-screen viewfinder as well as in the pictures.

[Desire HD General] sengork:
Remove the account and add it back in. Try that.
[Desire HD General] scuba_doo:
I had that, seems to be when contacts are linked and you delete the phone contacts without unlinking them first. Also you seem to have to do a factory reset to be able to delete the google account as other apps use this account.Doing a factory reset from the sd card and phone options does work then put the accounts back on and sync.
[Desire HD General] kpf16:
So the only option is factory reset. I thought about adding another Google account and removing the offending one. The add the offending one back.
[Desire HD General] Alkali:
I thought i am on to the best syncing program - Google Sync but i am now doubting. I hate almost anything that will make me to factory reset!
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Try this.

Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Now scroll down to Contacts > Clear data repeat for Contacts Storage.

Then try synchronizing your Google account again.

After completing an reinstall of my contacts there is one small problem. Before the my contact tab auto linked with my Facebook account and now it hasn't. I cannot link it myself because that option is not on the my contact tab details. Any ideas on how I can get the link suggestion again.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
the same thing happened to me a few weeks back when i did this. Haven't figured it out yet but to be honest it doesnt bother me
[Desire HD General] kpf16:
Did you have to reinstall after a factory reset or clear the data in contacts storage app?
[Desire HD General] Alkali:
A little Q - what will happen if i were to delete my contacts in DHD and sync again with Gmail? Will that delete all my contacts in both places?
[Desire HD General] Alkali:
cleared the data in contacts storage app.
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Why don't you create a few test contacts, one from your DHD and another from GMail. Sync them and delete both from your DHD.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
How do you stop the B&N firmware updates?

I’m running 1.0.0 and have no desire to have my Nook updated and lose all my hard work.

I’ve had it one day and I have rooted, installed Market, downloaded tons of apps that work on my DX and don’t have any issues yet.

Even the Demo of NFS Shift works on this thing!

Just say no to an update.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barbo:
I searched xda a few days ago and found this way to prevent updates (I changed the words a bit in my personal notes) - I can take no credit for this method...

To disable OTA (over the air) updates:

Change the name of this file: otacerts.zip to anything else

To do this, get root explorer ($3) from the market

Run root explorer

Go to etc/security/otacerts.zip

Hit the little mount button near the top to change r/w to r/o

Rename the file otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip_DISABLED_OTA_UPDATES

Hit the little mount button again to change r/o back to r/w

Hopefully this will do the trick.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyecrispy:
I'm rooted on 1.0.0 as well and have been for a few days now. I haven't been updated OTA to 1.0.1 at all. I read somewhere that once your'e rooted, OTA doesn't work. Is that true? Or should I take this precautionary step as well?

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyecrispy:

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
So why didn't you update to 1.0.1 as suggested in the nookdevs wiki?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barbo:
1- Does "do the above" refer to changing the name of the OTA file or does it refer to making a Titanium backup? (I assume the first?)

2- Does "if you use the B&N Store" refer to shopping for a book on wifi or going into a physical B&N store?

So... our choice is to stop an update and loose the store or get the update and possibly lose our root?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikroft:
As in don't do the OTA file modification above if you use the B&N online store on the Nook. I don't think it's been proven either that the file mod absolutely prevents an update as sometimes it differs per device. I have the file modded but I don't use the B&N online store.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickHouTX:
Developer To Do

Good topic. It would be great if one of this forums many great developers could solve this conundrum. Many of us who have rooted our NookColors would like to retain the rooted status but be able to use the B&N store without fear of unrooting the NC.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barbo:
SCIONTX and KitF, do you have titanium backup installed? In another thread, someone is thinking the problem might be due to installing and/or using titanium backup.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoochyPuppy:
Explanation of how to avoid forced B&N Reset when using Titanium backup / restore

To the best of my knowledge, as is also discussed in the other thread on the B&N forced reset + Titanium ...

A B&N forced reset will occur if you restore an old login registration certificate for your device. This would occur if you make a full Titanium backup (including various system settings), de-register your Nook Color, (wipe, etc.), re-register (this creates a new certificate in on the Nook and in the B&N Shop itself associated with your B&N login), and then restore "too much" using Titanium.

The solution (so far) is to be very selective as to what you restore with Titanium ... i.e., I avoided restoring "anything" remotely system settings for B&N , whisper, shop, sync, etc.. There likely is only one "settings" to be avoided, but I don't know which one.

Side note: I also read that having a mismatch between your Google login and your B&N Login can confuse the B&N server and force a reset. This one does not make as much sense to me.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meshica7:
OK folks,please forgive me if the following questions have been answered already. I just need some clarification.

I recently side loaded apps to my NT,including Launcher Pro and Button savior so I can recal the NT launcher if I need to. I boot into Launcher Pro and I like the interface and ability to see all of my sideloaded apps in a grid view instead of having to do a search via the NT's launcher.So am I right in assuming that,technically, I have not rooted my NT? If this is the case,how do I avoid the OTA updates? As of last night,Dec 29th,I was still able to install apps and have them launch and run just fine. I really don't want the firmware update! Can someone just clarify the steps I need to take as I don't know if the work around discussed here applies to me.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
Nook TABLET (NT) or Nook COLOR (NC)? They are different devices.

If you're able to install apps from the Market, it does sounds as if you've rooted properly. I blocked updates on my NC and my wife's NT using the SQLite database edit, and have not had any problems with recent updates.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpinDry2010:
Hello,

I have been keeping up on these forums for awhile now and have learned it should be hard to brick the Captivate, well that's what i fear may have happened.

I hope you guys have ideas on how i can fix this, What happened is.

I followed the info from this tread here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734871

I was flashing the I9000 rom to my Captivate, i have done a few roms before with out problems.

This time i flashed the rom from the US section and flowed the instructions on the I9000 rom and Odin3 did a reset to reboot the phone and that's the last time i seen anything on the screen.

So i thought it would be best to let it keep going and didn't touch anything, then Odin3 gave me the Green light and said passed but the screen was still black.

So i unhooked Odin3 and pulled the battery thinking maybe i just needed to reboot it, but nothing came back.

I have tried to put it back into download mode but have not been able to, its acting kind of like its not turning on now.

I have tried holding down volume up and down and inserting the usb cable after i put the battery back in but that does not work any more.

I have read that the volume buttons on the I9000 roms are backwards so i thought maybe that might be the problem but am out of ideas.

I hope you guys have some ideas, ill own any one a beer for help on this.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
I have to question why you used a thread that was posted in July...

If you can't get into Download mode using any of the button combos, you'll need to make a Jig.

Jig? 10 char
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpinDry2010:
Well the date of the thread does not seem to matter, but a Jig would only seem to work if i had a boot screen and just had flashed a crippled loader.

But looking into this further i found that the fing bootloader was packaged into the I9000 rom, now since that seems to be what i flashed i can see why that killed it.

I wish i would have known this before hand but i guess lesson learned unless some one thinks that should not matter.

I will have to send it back but i should be ok on that with ATT, but i will stay away from letting the Slb.bin stay in the flash next time.
