I thought about doing that but the issue is that there is no phone process running for me to monitor. Doing the same process on my Vibrant shows the the phone process is indeed running and using power. Here, nothing.

I might do a comparative test to measure battery life drain per hour while idle, but I don't think its necessary at this point.

JJ4 is really buggy. You need to patch a few things out of box. You're better off using one of the custom ROMs or stick with JI6.

31-12-2010 i flashed the wonderfull DFT Leo desire stock NAND but i can't get GPS to work, because i'm not getting any GPS FIX.

Tried different apps but none can get a fix.

Also i have modified gps.conf without luck..

Radio is btw: 2.15.50.14

edit: even after 5 min seems to be not working ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thomas_pieps:
can you post your gps.conf file?

I have the same gps problem.. what should be in gps.conf?

This is in mine;

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

The NTP_SERVER should be the one according to your location. In europe is this 0.europe.pool.ntp.org

Same issue no GPS and Poor Battery Life -- Priority 1 Fix GPS !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
I posted I hope is the solution to your GPS problem in another thread you responded to. What you need to do is edit the script since you are in the United States to look like: 0.us.pool.ntp.org in the top Server line. An easy way to edit the script WITHOUT having to find it in the folder is using FasterFix. It has the capability to change the script to match your region. So for the others in Europe with the North American script, use FasterFix and it will change the script to your region of Europe. But for us in the USA, I would use the script that starts with the number 0. I found that my cold start time is around 20 seconds to lock and if I use GPS Status as well, lock is within a couple of seconds.

Here's the link to FasterFix that I hope can help everyone on this thread: http://forum.samdroid.net/f10/fasterfix-1747/
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thomas_pieps:
I know you are trying to help, but please read the previous pages.

This only helps when the region is wrong, for example US - Europe.

This thread goes about the GPS bug that a intial fix is possible but afterwards no data from the GPS is transferred.

For more info please read the previous pages
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] d33f:
hmm the problem seems to be resolved after letting gps fix run for about 15minutes. After this i get a fix quite fast :)

So maybe it's worth a try ;)

Hello!

Recently allowed the phone to update itself over the air - Android update (28th Dec 2010). After it did it's stuff, I now have a Triangle in the top of the screen /!\ as a notification "SIM card changed" - Tap here to change your settings"

If I tap here... I get a warning:

You have insterted a new SIM card.
Your phone will change the
following settings according to
your SIM card: bookmarks
shortcuts, wallpaper, ringtones,
language selections, and input
settings. Are you sure you want
replace these settings on your
phone?
YES. No, later. NO

What the hell??? I havn't touched the SIM card, just updated the OS to 2.2.1 (I think that what the update did).

Cheers for any insight. e.g. Should I select YES or NO to the above request?

Also seems like you don't wipe cache, data, devlik or battery when installing a new ROM. If you do, do you factory reset once the custom ROM boots?

this should provide you with the information you need.

Be careful though, flashing always comes with a risk and I would recommend you browse through some of the howto's / guides in the DHD forum to understand what will / can happen.
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
You need fastboot access to flash a radio. You need engineering hboot s-off to access fastboot.

Radio s-off is not required to flash a radio with a higher version number than your current one.

Radio s-off IS required to flash a radio image which is older than your current one.

I would highly recommend you get radio s-off as you cannot get it after you have flashed a new radio, only before. Radio s-off can be a life saver especially if you do something stupid like accept an OTA which breaks root.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] anesh01:
Im hoping someone can help me in figurign out what is killing my battery. At first i thought it was due to me overclocking the phone; however i removed the overclockin app and my batt will probably last a couple of hours before having to charge it again.

Im running maxsense rom, on verizon tp2. i've even tried a hard reset, i just wish i knew what to look for and where so i can possibly un-install it, if it is a program thats running in the back. or a registry edit...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bktilt2:
Check your Backlight settings: Start Menu -> Settings -> System -> Power -> Backlight. Try using TurnOffTheLight dev'd by Ut0p1a. This program turns off the screen backlight completely. Even in Sleep Mode the Backlight is not off entirely & still uses power.

Also go to Task Mgr & close app's that are only minimzed per se but still running. QM TP2 Battery Update is a good app to send 1% batt lvl increments to Batt Clock for display in your task bar.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dmc_universe:
Don't just focus on ROM, if you have a clean EnergeROM after hard reset, I'm sure that EnergeROM has no possibility to cause such a problem.

Try flash another Radio. And if this problem still there, maybe there is something wrong with your battery. Buy a new battery from ebay and try again:)

I Recommend Sygic Aura , looks great , runs smooth as well :)

You can download it free and trial it for 7 days.

When you first run the app you download (via wifi) your needed maps to your Memory/SD Card

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] knightnz:
Navigon seems to be pretty good. You can get it for free in some cases if your SIM ID is one recognised as being eligible (Telstra AU works to get the Australia/NZ version). Otherwise it's 50 euro or somesuch.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] zakariae:
The new maps 5.0 are is far away the best :D
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Rapax:
Yes, the new Google Maps Navigation with maps 5.0 is awesome. I have a fairly new (last year) standalone Navigon Device in my car, but the Google Nav beats it hands down.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ResonanceZero:
Except, of course, when you leave your service area or otherwise lose your data connection, at which point Google Nav simply stops working altogether.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Rapax:
Not any more. Since that last update it caches quite a bit, I think. Drove to my parents in the mountains of eastern Switzerland over Christmas and never once had it stop working, even though there's some pretty decent sized areas without good coverage along the way.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ResonanceZero:
Hrm. I'll have to give it another test, then. I had abysmal luck with it, but that was before the 5.0 release.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] msgfromside3:
I thought you cannot get the new navigation (direction) when you are offline with map 5.0. I like cache feature but I would like offline navigation, especially when I travel Canada where I have to pay roaming if I want to use data.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] vs2:
I use Navigon and its great with all maps on SD. It also integrates google search as a bonus, and its free in Aus and NZ for Gtab and Galaxy S.

Question about Google Navigation cache:

If you set it to cache in settings and then plan a route ie, at home using wifi, does that mean you can turn off data in your car and it will still navigate that route?

Do you think it will soon be possible to DL (cache?) a whole town or city?, or even Country? If so it will make all other Navigation software practically obsolete.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ResonanceZero:
I played with this a little today. There doesn't appear to be any way to control the cache size or behavior in the settings (other than clearing it), but I set up both a short and a long route and then simulated a disconnect and kept browsing. To my surprise, even the detail maps that I had previously inspected were retained, though of course any area I hadn't previously examined closely remained blurry when I passed over it. Out of curiosity, I turned the satellite layer on and even got a few tiles of that out of the cache.

Pre-caching map-only (non-satellite) view for an entire city at fine detail is perfectly possible, and a long-distance overview (I tried an east coast to west coast route) will also stay in cache, as long as you're careful to let every on-screen tile load at the desired zoom level before swiping onward. I'm not sure how much satellite data you can shoehorn in before it starts dropping things, though. I need to keep playing with it.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] vgt:
check out waze its a sochial gps and free

its only as good as the users make it but in areas where there are allot of users its very good

www.waze.com or market

PS works also on other platforms not just android
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
So your saying aslong as you dont clear the cache any maps that youve seen will stay there?

What a tedious task tho to browse an entire state lol
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ResonanceZero:
Well, obviously you can't grow beyond your available space (which is forced to be the internal sdcard and cannot be moved to the external sdcard), and I suspect Google Maps will start trimming much earlier than that, but I'm currently caching 109MB worth of map images on Google Maps, and everything I've looked at so far has stuck.

It would indeed be quite tedious to manually browse an entire state, but I'm guessing it would be somewhat less so to browse in detail just the towns around a planned route. It may be possible to use Mobile Atlas Creator to pre-cache tiles on a desktop computer and then transfer them to the sdcard, but I'd have to spend some time investigating it.

The Google Maps cache is stored in /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/cache, and has filenames somewhat like "cache_vts_GMM.6".
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ResonanceZero:
As a followup to this, after more testing it appears that the cache size is locked at 120MB. Once I get up to that point, it deletes out 5-10MB. I *think* it's preferentially culling satellite imagery over maps, but I'm not absolutely sure. To be safe, if you're prepping for a long trip, do your browsing with all layers turned off.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] skrallanuk:
I am in Finland, and my tabs Google Maps Navigation is not yet available in this location. Very disappointing.

I have downloaded Waze, but found that there aren't enough user's over here as yet, so the roads are non-existent. Also the map editing program is rubbish, and I haven't figured out how I can get the updated information onto my Tab?

Found a few other so called free one's on the android market, one called NDrive, but first it want's to install a huge amount of data and then they want me to buy the maps (which probably is another horrendous amount of data).

I am really disappointed though that the Google Maps Navigation doesn't work. That was one thing why I bought the tab, as I don't have a sat nav in my car. Does anyone know of any solutions?

Have no comlaints at all and works flawlessly fullscreen. Would reccommend if you have the old install file for copilot to install the. Pkg file then copy the old copilot folder onto the internal sd card. All maps and voices work fine and you don't need to re-register the maps...

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Xerocus:
Well, if you were to search for Garmap on the marketplace, you could find yourself surprised.....

I'm currently using it, not the prettiest , but very effective, and unlike Gamin XT, it downloads what you need(maps, POI, Traffic, etc) as you need it.

Fair enough, it's also a live navigation(offline navigation unfortunately is a dying breed) but as far as live nav goes, this is quite good.

I believe it's free for a month, but well worth the money should you buy it.

Just my 2c worth- have a good day!

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sixvoltsystem:
When a credit card is swiped through the reader, it reads the data and converts it into an audio signal. The microphone picks up the audio, sends it through the processors and then is routed to Square’s software application on the phone. So in theory I have a TRRS female jack I took off an old phone, I plan on routing all the 4 pins to where they should be and jump the mic to the 4th connection on the TRRS jack and hopefully it will pick it up. Because all the TRRS jack does is include an additional section for the mic. We shall see if I blow anything up, should be fun ;)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sixvoltsystem:
I've got a few numbers off the TRS jack on the G-tablet and have been trying to source it through a bunch of different vendors. Just to get specs.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] insight3fl:
I don't have my scanner yet, but have you tried to "amplify" the output of the scanner to see if we could use a mechanical coupling to the external mic on the gtab?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] festivus:
You guys do realize that although it costs a bit more, you can just punch in the card number manually rather than use the little swiped, right? Seems to me if you are dead set on using Square on the G Tab, that would be a much better way to go rather than to radically modify the hardware just to save a tiny bit on processing fees. I have to also believe a lot of G Tab owners probably own compatible phones like my Droid X to use with Square.
