As i say warranty is not an option for me. Well, i really dont need the gps for now.

And yeah i can live with this sh.. just kidding, i love my phone and always will love it :o

thanks for all help :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nunya1234:
I had a similar issue. I installed the Energy ROM and it fixed all my issues.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] porkenhimer:
easy fix

The fix is very simple. Go to start/settings/home and turn SENSE/TOUCHFLO off. Now turn on google maps and set your phone somewhere and after it says active close google maps, turn SENSE back on and repeat the first step. For some reason on some roms the GPS will not work with SENSE 2.1 or SENSE 2.5 unless you lock sats with SENSE off forst then it with work with SENSE on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jufece:
wtf!!!! who are youu? a ****in genious

i turned off sence, then google maps, but after 1 minute i was bored. Closed it, and open the GPS Viewer that came in rom. After 1 minute it shows 1 satelite, 10 seconds later 2 sat. Ill try with google again, i think just needing the correct settings. So thanks a lot. Illpost results here, tomorow :)

i have been searching the forums but i dont find any good information.... but everytime i try a sense rom the mobile network is really unstable and will randomly not work unless i turn mobile network off then back on again or if i restart... my question is that, could the radio that i am using be the blame.???

please let me know if you have any info on this
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deadmansink:
There are several things to check:

When changing ROMS/Builds; sometimes the APN and DNS settings are default and or changed, check those.

As well, dial #*#*4634*#*# and you'll be able to change the service as well, make sure that data is enabled.

And, yes, the radio, sometimes you need to change around to find the right one for your build of choice and area, check the builds thread for best recommendations.

Check my thread link for a bunch of cool tutorials and info.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Greets - I cannot figure out how to get my Incredible to STOP blaring alerts at midnight and beyond simply because a friend has a birthday. I have tried changing all the reminders to "NONE" in Outlook, but that information does not synch. Of course, I do not want to disable all alerts. I just wish I could figure out how to get those alerts to stop.

As a temporary measure, I have the phone set to go silent from 9PM until 7AM; at least that way I don't get woken up. But that's not the point.

Anyone know how I can get these 'all day' birthday alerts to stop reminding me, but still let the other alerts (like a doctor's appointment) come through?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Do you have your contacts sync with Facebook or something? Could that be what's syncing it to your calendar causing it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Yes but ...

Absolutely ... but that is how they got there ... now that they are there, how do I stop them from issuing related reminders?!?!?!

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Veiger:
I need to replace my current handset, I understand you have to unroot before doing so or get charged. I followed the instructions step by step, Installed a stock rooted ROM, Flashed PC10img.zip, etc but when i boot into the bootloader i still see S-Off. I do not have root access but the S-On is making me paranoid about ordering a replacement. Any reports or fixes for this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] dustrho:
You may want to specify which rooting method you performed on your phone (e.g. Rage, VISIONary). I will need to unroot my phone soon as I'm expecting a replacement, and I believe I've seen a couple different ways of successfully unrooting the phone. Interested to hear what others have to say about your issue.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Veiger:
Originally used the RAGE method, but i ran the program Gfree over it to get the SIM card unlock also.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
There is an option in gfree to turn secu_flag on or off, here is the options from the Wiki, just re-run gfree commands with the -s option:

gfree usage:
gfree [-h|-?|--help] [-v|--version] [-s|--secu_flag on|off]
-h | -? | --help: display this message
-v | --version: display program version
[COLOR="red"]-s[/COLOR] | --secu_flag on|off: turn secu_flag[COLOR="Red"] on [/COLOR]or [COLOR="red"]off[/COLOR]
-c | --cid <CID>: set the CID to the 8-char long CID
-S | --sim_unlock: remove the SIMLOCK

-f | --free_all: same as --secu_flag off --sim_unlock --cid 11111111

Thanks a ton
[G2 and Desire Z General] Veiger:
Never mind got it to work
[G2 and Desire Z General] pl4cid:
Unfortunately I formated my sdcard after i have rooted my Desire Z. Can i just enter "./gfree -s on" to make an image with s-on again and load it via "dd if=/sdcard/partition7-gfree-s-on.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7"? Will this work to get s-on permanently?

Edit: I tried it and after "./gfree -s on" I entered "reboot bootloader" which showed me s-on. But I still had root. Then I entered the second line "dd if..." and after I pressed return the phone rebooted. Still had root after this reboot. So I clicked "unroot" in Visionary and the phone was unrooted.

But: When I received the systemupdate I was unable to install it. The phone reboots, starts installing and I get a triangle with an exclamation mark in after a couple seconds of progressing. ClockworkMod Recovery gives me this message when I press the power button:

"Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted."

Can someone help me please?
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
"./gfree -s on" will edit your radio config partition (7) to make it S-ON. No need to dd anything after that. The only thing you have lost through losing your part7 backup is the ability to re-lock the SIM, if there was a lock there in the first place.

gfree doesn't unroot, gfree can set S-OFF/S-ON etc, change the CID etc. But to unroot you need to do other stuff (like flash a stock ROM or just remove the su binary and Superuser app).

That's the stock recovery rather than clockwork. What system update are you talking about, the 1.72 OTA for the DZ ? Or are you trying to flash a whole ROM from SD card ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] pl4cid:
Yes you guess right, I want to install the 1.72 OTA. So what shall I do? I got the DZ unlocked and unbranded. The OTA is already downloaded. Is it enough to delete the binaries and the SU-App or are there any other things to prepare.

Thanks in advance for your help
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
You realise you will lose root by applying that update and will not be able to root again at 1.72 ? Not until someone figures out a way to root that ROM ? And if you have gone back to S-ON you will not be able to downgrade after going to the OTA either ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] pl4cid:
Hey my friend, thanks for this really helpful news. That was new to me and in this case I deserve root accessibility :) Thanks a lot again and have a nice day!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oskoss:
I am trying to change the look of the default dock for the EVO. I have been able to change the background for it, but after a few hours of looking around for the XML file that controls the layout of the dock, I still can't find it. Any ideas where that specific file is? Also I am looking for this file so I can get rid of the word "phone", along with the plus and circle arrow icons. Am I going about this the right way by finding the XML file then alter it to get rid of the images/words?

Thanks in advanced!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibcenu:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnyardavid:
+1 agreed. This is ridiculous, it's a clusterf**k in these forums. Q & A is exactly what we need.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deano0714:
I will say yes to the q&a it will cause less clutter.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
No, Q&A IS the general forum. What is needed is a sticky in the general forum with a CLEAR and concise description of how to:

root

use Odin

use clockwork

flash themes

flash roms

battery saving methods

airplane mode trick

DRM services and how to stop them

and ANYTHING else that gets asked multiple times a day. I dont know if some sort of limited moderator status can be granted, but if so it would be nice for noobnl, Daemon and a bunch of others to have said status and be able to update this sticky at any time. I am sure there are a ton of people who would be glad to do it.

Then, what is needed is a sticky called FROYO SPECULATION, where EVERY thread that deals with speculation of the coming Froyo release is moved, and all discussion of that topic is directed.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtuansdiamm:
what you are saying isn't wrong but i want one
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plapczyn:
That is EXACTLY what the Wiki is for. But people either don't know about it, use it, or update it. Anyone can update the wiki. Leaving all of the cleanup to moderators isn't fair, or effective at getting stuff up quickly. There should be better indication to go to the wiki and more people need to start using it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
Thats fine, but where the eff is the wiki? A person who just bought their epic and signed up would NEVER find it. There needs to be like a flashing light and have the font in size 4.2 million saying "Epic 4g XDA User Manual" or something like that.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plapczyn:
I agree. Or a sticky at the top of ALL of the subforums linking to the wiki. There used to be a STICKYWIKI post, but the title got changed.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ungovernable1977:
I agree the wiki needs serious editing and updating, and we should all be somewhat responsible. Maybe if you flame a newbie, you have to add a paragraph, like a swear jar :) smoothone, get typing :) hahaha.. sorry... had to... but I get the feeling you dont mind.

Honestly, I wish sprint would just say screw you, no froyo. This way, people would move on, keep developing, not thinking to wait on that elusive source code... and stop *****ing. The repeat questions, etc werent that bad until that stupid 26th thing brought a bunch of new people at once, so everyone here who was already waiting and annoyed, then get bombarded with new people who heard about XDA from engadget.

BTW... wheres those two who had those super secret sources?????? Kinda quiet.... :)

Bloggers: do not cite an XDA member, or their word they have a good source unless they show you the goods! Somehow, everyone thinks XDA really knows more than the average joe... and dont trust Sprint sales info or personnel!!!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] othan1:
Sure, let's create yet ANOTHER ignored forum that the mod(s) get to monitor and spend more time on while every single new user here ignores it and the search button just to post the question anyway.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
Instead of making a new forum, we need another moderator added to help manage the forum.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazydazed:
And make a post count minimum to START a new thread!! Too many ppl coming over straight from google and, not knowing how to use xda (or their effen owners manual) to its fullest.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plapczyn:
Dumping questions to a Q&A forum creates less clutter for the other forums, thus relevant threads will more likely be in the first two pages.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plapczyn:
I love that idea, but there are occasionally relevant posts from new users. I would like to think that not EVERYONE that initially comes to XDA is a moron. But I guess I'm a glass half full kind of guy. ;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plapczyn:
It looks like a lot of people are in favor of it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
The Q&A forum will just be full of people asking the SAME QUESTIONS over and over and over again. Why not just create a sticky that either links to an updated wiki or better yet that lays out nicely how to do basic things with the Epic4g?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plapczyn:
That's ok, as long as the questions aren't in the other forums. :) But I agree, sticky to the wiki should be on all subforums.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanquish46:
Personally I don't care if the Q&A forum is filled with spam repost topics. All I, and others, want is for the it to be quarantined.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
That will happen in any forum. We do need a sticky, but don't expect that to stop the noobs from asking before reading.

I see that some of the other Galaxy phones here on xda have a Q&A in addition to a general section. General is used for general discussion and Q&A is for all questions. It seems like it would be more obvious for noobs to wander into the Q&A section to ask questions and hopefully save the mods some effort while also cleaning up our little corner of this website.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plapczyn:
Exactly my point. Also, as someone mentioned...the cycle of useless questions that cant be prevented will at least be quarantined.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plapczyn:
It would also prevent questions asking when froyo is coming from knocking useful posts in general out of the first few pages. We get a new "when is froyo coming" thread every day.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
Why would it prevent that? They will still post questions in general. A majority of those posts, if not all of them are not asking questions, but rather giving speculation. They would still be posted in general.

The push for the Q&A forum is completely moronic in my opinion. People are missing what is needed here. We need a moderator who is here and attentive to the posts and the need of this forum. The main problem is the lack of moderation. The issues all fall back on that single point.

There should be a sticky with a link to the Wiki or a sticky with a basic guide for both understanding and accomplishing certain tasks with the Epic4g such as flashing themes, rooting, using Odin, etc. We dont have this, and it falls back on the lack of moderation.

There should be a sticky where ALL froyo speculation is contained. We don't have this and if falls back on a lack of moderation.

I am sure that the moderators job is not easy and that they have a lot to do outside of moderating a forum for a cell phone, but these are basic things that are lacking on here. I was over at PPCgeeks for 2 years and NEVER were there problems like this, because the moderators were in control. There were basic guides stickied for newcomers to understand basic concepts and how to do basic things. Annoying recurring issues were not simply ignored (ie froyo speculation) but were rather contained and herded into a sticky up top so that people both had a place to vent/speculate and the majority of users were not having to deal with clutter. We dont have this here, and there is only one reason.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plapczyn:
I agree. We need more moderators, but I don't see that happening either.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ungovernable1977:
So whosdaman is running all three subforums? And there is someone on vacation or something???? I agree, not enough supervision for the amount of newbs or even just people who wont bother coming back, but want to know about that Froyo thing their sprint salesperson told them about... its a legitimate quesion, and this site has become high enough profile for average users who never intend to root to come looking for answers, because according to the internet 'media' this site knows all.

Anyways, did a forum search, and noticed 'search this forum and child forums', so... am I to believe the software/structure is already there??? So why not break it up a bit, clean house a little, and not try to keep it so simple it just doesnt work.

General needs a q and a, so does Dev, then take the current iteration of Dev and rename it Rom Market, because thats all that flies in there, but people have development related questions, that may not fall under any particular rom, and may not be 101 enough to go in the wiki. Seems like before the Froyo drama, etc, that it was fine, little structure, aimed at experienced users, but now, like it or not, theres more people... and most newer people have not rooted, hacked, jailbreaked 10 generations of smartphones, and even those PDA things they used back when I had a pager.

Why is the Epic forum not getting the structure others are??? Its not that niche...

Also, this thread has been up for what, 31 hrs? Whosdaman has not chosen to chime in on something that directly relates to his 'job'? Not saying he is like 'screw them...' but its case in point that he cant do this alone... valiant effort, but not enough manpower anymore. This is like the third thread basically boiling down to these same issues I have posted on in a couple days, WDM has participated, and given good advice, like dont flame, dont reply, use the really obvious report button that looks like 'oops you pulled the plug mid-odin... please reconnect me'. So he will redirect, warn, whatever, and physically deal with the thread appropriately. Great, but the problem is that he cant keep up with us trying to resist sarcastic replies... I know its painful for me. Just post a thread with 'So how do I do this Odin thing?' in Development and wait 5 minutes for the lurkers...

More mods, more sub-forums... it cant be that hard... and it will shut up the people who cannot stand to see a dev RELATED post in Development, and a General Question in General... fine, break it up... or expect the new people to keep pissing you off.

Also, sorry, last bit... all these newbs? They do help us just by having purchased an epic, not letting it go the way of the Nokia N-Gage...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeisRisen:
Completely moronic? Somebody is a drama queen. In my opinion anybody that can find a desire for more organization COMPLETELY moronic, fits in the same category of problem that is found here throughout this forum.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plapczyn:
Exactly my point. I don't really care the end solution...but SOMETHING has to be done. I'm going to update my OP to reflect a little more info.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
I am not going to do the typical response to your trolling where I continue the trolling by trying to insult you. Instead, I will explain why I think that its moronic, which I thought I have already explained.

It won't cause more organization. Plain and simple.

Compare the Evo general forum:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=620

to the Evo Q&A forum:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=652

They are the EXACT same. The Evo essentially has 2 separate General forums now. There is literally zero difference between the forums. Half of the posts in the general forum have to do with questions about the device.

You know what the Evo forum DOES have that is very helpful? A STICKY LABELED NOOB GUIDE. We have no such thing.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jocala:
muyoso, I agree with your analysis, but moronic is a loaded term. We can disagree without flamage :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
True. That is why I qualified it in my comment with "in my opinion". Because in my opinion trying to accomplish organization by doing something that will only cause less organization is not a smart thing to do. Just my opinion. I am not against trying to organize the forums, I just feel that a Q&A section will not help. In no way was I trying to call anyone a moron. I was calling the idea of the Q&A section itself moronic, as it simply becomes General 2.
