No, the pre-installed programs like Maps and YouTube shouldn't be impacted, they're in the /system/app folder, not the /data/app folder (where user installed apps go). Even if the Google apps were deleted, they're all available in the Market, so no big deal to download them manually if necessary.

The DATA for the pre-installed apps will get erased, though.

Your battery usage pointing to google maps may be related to running the Latitude portion of google maps...it's constantly on and tracking your position. go into the settings for google maps (layers perhaps) and make sure Latitude is turned off.

The missing memory is used by the system and not available to you; this confuses many people, but you should be okay.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] funstuffalex:
google latitude is not on

i cant clouse maps even in battery use if i click on maps and force stop it then refresh and its still there
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] distortedloop:
Non-rooted, you might try going into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/ All then finding Maps and uninstalling updates. Also, clear data, clear cache, etc. This might help you out.

Are you rooted?

The way Android works, killing tasks isn't advised. One of the reasons is exactly what you're seeing (I think what you're seeing)...if you kill an app that Android thinks you're going to use again any time soon, it just re-opens it in the background. It shouldn't be sucking up any significant resources in that state, though. Android doesn't like a lot of free memory..the linux mantra is "free memory is wasted memory".

Anyways, if you're rooted, you can try getting Autostarts off the market and tell it to keep Google Maps from autostarting on boot.

Also, if you're rooted, you could use Titanium or Root Explorer to delete the Google Maps apk and then re-download it from the Market.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] j.bruha:
What he's experiencing is a growing problem with Google Maps. There's currently a ton of people commenting about it in the market and I've seen it first hand.

I sat down with a bunch of friends the other day (all of whom have one Android device or another) and we all checked our battery usage has Google Maps at either the first or second position on the list. In the group was my Nexus S, a Captivate, a Nexus One, and a G2. It appears to be a problem with the newest update, probably related to the caching its doing with the map data, but that's just a guess.

You could just go get a 301k resistor use a wooden toothpick and shove it into the usb side between to 2 contacts (2&4?) and then plug into your phone and that will work check on the link the above sent you. don't worry you will get out of this, I only know of handful of people who really bricked the vibrant and they are super tweakers.......this is solvable.

You need to get into download mode:

try this:

reboot your computer

pull the battery on the phone and leave it out

plug in the usb to both comp and phone

hold both volume keys

put in battery while holding the volume keys

That should get you into download mode

I pull the battery to make sure the phone is off. Hold the volume key and plug in the cord. Make sure you have odin with all the proper files ready to go ... Once you plug in and see that you have a com.. you can just hit start. Oh and pull your simcard and sdcard out also.

I think we'll see this in Cyanogenmod 7.0 (I haven't seen 7.0 with my own eyes yet). Or at least in some coming Cyanogenmod version.

[Wildfire General] Astral07:
Hi guys, i have an x10 but i recently got a new wildfire for my girlfriend.

I rooted it, installed wildpuzzle 2.2.1 rom and overclocked it to 691mhz which i reduced to 650mhz just to see if everything will be ok for a while.

Currently she's using htc sense, she says she likes it so i think i won't change it to launcher pro but i couldn't find the option to reduce the number of screen? From current 7, she only uses 3. How do i do that? and btw. did anyone try motonav gps? i'm using it on x10 but the resolution on WF seems waaay off when i run it. Any fix for that?

Also, the reason why i overclocked it is to be able to run angry birds better cuz she likes the game a lot. I have an overclocked computer for years and i know the affects on it over time but can the same principle apply on mobile phones? I'm not that familiar with those and i'm not really sure how the hardware reacts to higher cpu frequencies.

I have read in a couple of threads people saying that overclocking will

"reduce our wildfire's life span."

I find that incorrect. Since the voltage of the chip remained the same there's nothing else that would indicate reduced life span other than temperature. And if the temperature reading from SetCPU is somewhat correct than in most cases i find it to be under 30c which i find completely acceptable.

Higher but stable frequency in itself cannot harm the cpu in any way, as far as my knowledge goes. Your thoughts?

Also since we are offered to choose between different but fixed frequencies i'm guessing overclocking/underclocking works on a multiplier principle. Meaning that only the multiplier is being changed for overclocking the cpu which would indicate that no additional strain on the motherboard is present. How do you think the memory reacts? is it also overclocked or does it have a fixed ratio?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
O/Cing on the Qualcomm MSM 7225 on the Wildfire is mainly done by adjusting the CPU PLL only. There was a very detailed post I read about the very detailed process of overclocking this CPU here on XDA itself, cant seem to find it out now. Just look for it, if I find it again, I'll let you know.

Also, maybe OC'ing will reduce the lifespan, but, I am pretty sure before it dies out by oc'ing, we will have retired it anyway :p
[Wildfire General] Astral07:
thanks for your reply, i'll try to find that post then, it would be an interesting read for sure

any comments on sense screens or motonav?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Found it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=656572

As for the number of Sense Screens, I do not think that it is possible to adjust it without using a 3rd party launcher as LP / ADW. As for motonav, it must be optimized for HDPI / MDPI resolution devices, which is why it must not display properly on the Wildfire, really, no idea here as well, Sorry.

that's ok, thanks for your input

You can't resize widgets with the free version.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakbjak:
I've been having some issues with my screen recently, probably due to a cable being loose or something like that so I want to send my phone back to be repaired. I have S-OFF and am running CM6.1.1. I have a nandroid backup for the original stock rom, but this is obviously rooted. So have to i get to back to S-On with the original stock room un-rooted so my warranty isn't technically void??

edit: Its a EU desire z,
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Restore the backup of the stock ROM that you have.

If you have S-OFF via gfree then you need to un-do that via "gfree -s on".

If you have the eng hboot then you need to dd back the stock hboot (get it out of a PC10IMG.zip file.

Finally you can remove root. Removing the Superuser app will almost certainly be enough, no-one is going to notice anything more.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakbjak:
I flashed a hboot to get s-off, how exactly do i dd back to stock hboot? Do i extract the file from the PC10IMG zip?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Yes, extract the stock hboot from the correct PC10IMG.zip file, then you can dd it to your hboot partition just like you originally did with the eng boot.

Or if you just flash a complete stock ROM over the top (the same version as your backup, once the backup has been restored), it will install the stock hboot anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakbjak:
ok still, just to be certain (last thing i want is to brick my phone!!) restore rooted stock rom from the nandroid backup, then get a copy of the original rom i have a flash it? and do i flash it through cwm or the other menu?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
If that stock ROM is the same version as your rooted backup that you restored, then yes, that should be fine because the stock ROM will include the stock hboot, to put you back to S-ON via hboot.

If however the stock ROM is an earlier version than your backup, you will have to go through an additional downgrading procedure to safely be able to flash an earlier ROM (or you could end up bricked).

No, you don't flash it via Clockwork. You put the ROM image (not RUU) onto the root folder of your SD card, called "PC10IMG.zip", then boot into hboot (with the phone powered off, hold Volume Down and then press Power until it switches on) and it will open the ROM and ask if you want to flash it.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
You just need to run the RUU but then not press any buttons on the screen, then find the folder where the RUU has extracted temporary files. There will be a standard location on this that depends on your exact OS. Look for the most newly-created folders at this location, and a couple of levels down from there you will find the extracted files, including rom.zip.

The same version of Clockwork recovery is used on the G2 and all Desire Zs. So I would have thought you'd be absolutely fine to flash the stock recovery from that DZ RUU onto your own DZ.

Yeah, apparently Archos don't cover hardware issues unless it's an issue with defective hardware.

I broke my screen too. I had a good look around for new screen and digitizer but couldn't find any. In fact, I reckon the one that you found on ebay was made for the (very similar) 10.2" laptop. I haven't checked in a while so I could be wrong, but that was all that I could find.

I assume when you say Archos won't repair it, you mean they won't repair it for free?

I ended up having to send mine back to Archos for repair and it cost €123 altogether. It also took close to 2 months to get back to me. Just got it back there on the 30th of December.

Wow, really? Sorry to hear that. It does beg the question though... How many devices had broken screens repaired before they pulled the plug?

Unfortunately, I think it's a bit too early for a 3rd party to fix the device, it just hasn't been out long enough for the parts to be manufactured yet. But it's surely only a matter of time.

Note: I was actually sent back a new device. Different serial number. Maybe they just don't have the stock to send out replacement devices. We all know the difficulty they are having keeping up with demand (which in itself is a bit ridiculous but that's another story).
