[myTouch 4G General] bongostl:
For me, at least (and my buddy who did the same thing), the MT4G IS the successor of the N1 (in the sense that we both sold our n1s for the mt4g).

It's got the same screen size (almost), has a similar build quality (though I still insist the n1 had the best build quality of any phone in the last 3 years....).

It just upgraded on everything the nexus had:

better screen (yes, yes, slcd vs amoled...but the pixel densitiy is much better in the mt4g)

It has a touch screen that actually works properly

i love the upgrade to the hard-buttons instead of the soft ones (particularly the crap buttons on the n1)

better processor

better ram

and for me, the software doesn't matter---I will only buy a phone that has a full port of CyanogenMod on it, anyway---so n1, mt4g, etc.... it's all CM7 for me!
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
I bought the phone within a week or two of launch and I was banking on cm becoming available. It wasn't at first and I started to get nervous, but Zinx released the first nightly of cm6 on my birthday, so it all worked out. :)
[myTouch 4G General] dani26286:
true!

i do have to admit that as an overall presence and feel and built,N1 is still a standard. mt4g is close to that one,but waaayyyy better built compared to NS.

with an OS like Android,we need evolution,not the opposite,otherwise what is the point? by creating cheap builds, people will not pay attention to the product,imo,no matter how much of o pionier it is meant to be. the N1 is the only high end (in its prime) phone that has all the features of a pure google experience smartphone.

and,since its all bussiness for some of them,and pure inovation for others,we are the ones that have the last words for the life of a product,as we are the end users.especially one that involves technology at its best.

so my question is,why going backwords, when google gives u all u need to be your own pionier?

and this locked bootloader crap,that is a trend with some companies...give it a brake guys,companies i mean. if its hard to root,it will probably be appealing only for those who are beginers to android,or others that use it as a secondary phone.otherwise,its gonna be far from a best seller.

and please, better QC! not fun haveing to exchange your purchase 100 times to get what u paid for.

am i saying to much guys,am i rambling, or am i right?

please let me know,and ill try to control my posts on this matter,otherwise lets make these dudes live up to the expectation. me,like all of u here,i think, i am an android os/ phone enthuziast NOT IGNORANT FANBOY WHO DONT KNOW BETTER.

—------------------------------------------------------------—

p.s. :that is if they wanna surpass apple with its excelent HW,but limited and exclusivist iOS.

love mac os and beatifully built laptops,but iOS just sucks compared to android. no matter what fanboy says what.

Hello, noob here. I have searched but cannot find anywhere but on the Evo forums.

Is there a way of having extended controls widget on the notifications bar?

Am not rooted by the way.

Thanks
[Desire HD General] preacher65:
The latest version of Extended Controls has an option in "Advanced" settings to put it in the Notification Bar. It's not as elegant as the Samsung/CM-style power toggles, but it works pretty well. Not sure if it requires root though.
[Desire HD General] reggaetonero:

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Hakim Rahman:
to change the language from english to Germany you also have to change registry settings

go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI\CurLang and change the value 409 to 407 or try another value for your language.

hopefully this can be more helpful :)

For those with a fail GPS:

Please download this file:

http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

Save it to your /data folder. Reboot, and test GPS.

Report back results please!
[Fascinate Android Development] agsded:
enable gps, launched google maps 5, waited 2-3 mins after pressing find my location button....still showing my loc as the location of the tower i'm connected through....

dropped the file into /data. Rebooted....

After it came up and stabilized, went to settings>location & security>Ticked on Standalone GPS Services....

(note, VZW was not, and still is not enabled)

(Google location services was checked prior to drop and reboot, and still is)

launched maps

pressed the find my location button, and about 15 seconds later, it accurately shows my location.....

PS: I am inside, old wood frame house, non-metallic roof...single story.

EDIT:

Furthermore, I left phone alone for a bit so it went to sleep, unlocked and maps was still running, initially it started with the tower's info as to my location, and within 3 seconds the gps had locked on to my true location...
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Thanks.

Just need a few more tests.
[Fascinate Android Development] slvrevoix:
Ok just tried it on my gf's phone and the first lock took about 1 min.

I will update with more scenarios.

Edit: this is with only standalone gps activate.

Edit: I forgot to mention it is now fairly accurate within 2 meters. Before it would put us somewhere 5 miles away.

Gps status shows 7 sats with 5 in use almost instantly .

Update in the morrow
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
Increased accuracy seems to be the result, not sure if it is just a placebo effect from reboot. Will test it out when driving tomorrow for lock while in motion.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Keep in mind this file expires. Thanks for the update folks.

if it works out, I will find a way for DI01 users to run it via an app or script, for those who don't wanna update to DJ05.
[Fascinate Android Development] agsded:
Will we need to go back into /data and remove it once it expires? How will we know when it becomes expired? Can it be recopied in periodically to continue allowing a functional GPS, and if so, how often would it need to be done?

I'm sorta curious how it works...

Thanks a bunch for your work, Adrynalyne!
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
I believe it expires within 24 hours. Simply copying a new one will work.

If I can get a cnfirmation that this works, I will do what I can to make an application that does this for ya. Shouldn't even require root.
[Fascinate Android Development] agsded:
Cool! Thanks again, dude!
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Ok, I partially lied.

Thanks to Captainkrtek, we have an application.

http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=gpsxtra

The Caveats:

It freezes when running the script button, but it does work as long as you have an active internet connection.

It requires my busybox, and therefore, root access.

http://db.tt/DgQ9017

This installs via clockwork mod recovery.

Hope it helps out folks. If you feel the need to donate, please donate to Captainkrtek, as he blows a ton of bandwidth for us each month hosting our goodies.

[Fascinate Android Development] KKHYNES:
Better for sure

Thanks for the patch. Before, would take 5 min or so to lock (sometimes it would not lock at all) and by then I would be long past where I needed to turn, so it was of no use to me.

After applying this /data folder file addition followed by a reboot, I was able to locate and use 5+ satellites within 30 sec and has worked as fast or faster than my D2Global since then.

This is great! Finally, the phone works as it should have from the factory.

Keep up the good work!
[Fascinate Android Development] agsded:
Wow....thanks a lot! You guys rock!
[Fascinate Android Development] jazzyjames:
For those who have ran this and this have worked, what all have you had on? I am currently on DL09 and am willing to rollback if it works. Do you have standalone and Google turned on? Do you need Wi-Fi on to get it working as well? I have noticed my GPS works just fine if I have stand alone and google turned on as well as Wi-Fi. But I would prefer to not leave Wi-Fi on especially because where I work at signal strength can be pretty bad and I don't want that and Wi-Fi draining my battery.
[Fascinate Android Development] Singlespeed:
I would like to try this fix, but how do I know if I have DI01? I just rooted my phone last night so it is still stock no new ROMs or anything else.

[Fascinate Android Development] Singlespeed:
Thanks, just trying to figure all this stuff out.
[Fascinate Android Development] keeena:
Had problems with the GPSXtra app. I have the requirements listed per GPSXtra's page (SU, Internet & Busybox). Clicking Run Script eventually gets a 'hung app' diaglog box. I've tried clicking Wait once...eventually just end up clicking FC. I then check the /data folder: there is no xtra.bin file listed.

adrynalyne - Noticed you said "it requires my busybox [...] installs via clockwork mod recovery". I have busybox installed as part of the 1-Click Root method; verified installation by entering 'busybox' command. Do you have a different busybox app? Or is CWMod required as well for the GPSXtra app to work? None of the above?

[edit] - BTW, i did grab the xtra.bin file manually and copied over to /data. Rebooted phone.

1) Initially started w/ GPS-only (no cell assistance).

2) Started GPS Status App. Waited 2 full minutes - still didn't show any lock or satellites. Closed app. Noticed GPS icon in notification bar still animated; in the past it would always go away once stopping the app using GPS.

3) Started GPS Test app. Waited 2 full minutes - no satellites found. Closed app. GPS icon still chugging away in notify bar.

4) Turned on cell assistance.

5) Accessed the GpsSetup screen (*#1472365#) and started GPS. After about 20 seconds started picking up satellites...quickly up to 6. After about a minute I gave up...no lock acquired yet. Stopping the GPS test still left GPS icon chugging.

I removed the xtra.bin file and rebooted. This fixed the GPS icon.

Willing to perform other testing - just let me know! Fed up w/ the GPS on this phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] imnuts:
Updated busybox from Adrynalyne, see here
[Fascinate Android Development] Captainkrtek:
The app will hang up and fc but it should have downloaded
[Fascinate Android Development] Singlespeed:
Thanks, I can't believe this little file fixed my GPS issues!

Installed it on my phone first, ran GPS Status and in 23 seconds I have 4 of 7 sats locked on in the bottom floor of a three story apt building. Then on the wife's it took about 17 seconds.

So how do you make it permanent?
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Ok, I felt I was pretty explicit about needing my busybox. Yes it is different, and its the only one I have tested with. Unless those other busybox binaries work with resolv.conf (which is not on your phone unless flashing mine), then the application will not work, and will crash.

Next, why are you disabling gps assistance? xtra.bin is merely ephemeris data that expires within I believe a day. It is used by phones to pinpoint sattelites quickly. So if you disable assistance, thats kind of making the entire point moot.

I ask that folks do not play with gps settings. Keep all the assist enabled, leave gpssetup alone, and for heaven's sake, use my busybox.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Well, its not permanent. When working correctly, the gpssetup application on our device is supposed to handle this for us--it does not in the stock rom.

So, this needs to be run, ideally, at least once daily. Now the application could be enhanced for scheduling abilities, but I specifically asked Captainkrtek for a basic program, as this is a stopgapp until the MR2 update (which is most likely going to be in the next few days to a week).
[Fascinate Android Development] Singlespeed:
Thanks for the explanation Adrynalyne! BTW what is MR2?

Okay Figured it out Maintenance Release.
[Fascinate Android Development] Singlespeed:
Question

I know the file expires after 24hrs, so I copied it again into the data folder and now my GPS is not working at all. It says I am 300 plus miles away. So any ideas??
[Fascinate Android Development] keeena:
I didn't know for sure that there were different versions of busybox; I wasn't able to see the link in your post because it was blocked. I just knew I had -a- version of bb, so started w/ that. Imnuts helped by linking your BB thread (thanks, btw!). So I was just waiting to try w/ 1.19_7 before posting up any further.

As far as the settings: I did not know that "VZ Loc Assistance" translated directly to "Enable/disable A-GPS". Maybe the context of the setting name is just poor? Saying "VZ" to me implies cell location awareness (which is only 1 possible component of A-GPS)...but that's me.

So what does "Google Loc Assist" do? I have a basic understanding that Google can give you a rough location based on its databases of cell towers. What I'm asking is if this information is used as input to A-GPS as well? And if so, what makes it unique versus the VZ option?

Sorry, I do tear things apart and like to know the details of how things work. Not your problem, just dumping. :)

I'm new to Android so still coming up to speed. The web has so much fragmented info that it takes a while to get a clear picture. Things like your post in another thread was the first one I read which had any sort of "why" as to the GPS problem (missing ephemeris data). This is the concrete info that I like, so please know that the info & work is appreciated. :cool:

[Fascinate Android Development] RacerXFD:

[Fascinate Android Development] imnuts:
You could try it out. Since it's an app that downloads a file, and doesn't modify anything in the system, if it doesn't work or causes strange issues, uninstall it.

[Fascinate Android Development] keeena:
For closure: Adryn, this did seem to fix the GPS problem on DI01. Nice job isolating the problem. Before it would often take a long time to get a lock, now its extremely quick (first try <10 sec).

I never got to verify Captainkrtek's app because of my SU problem mentioned in my prior post, but thats moot now that DL09 is released by VZ. In the spirt though, I did donate to his server fund to help continued dev. Thanks guys!

Hi,

I noticed before I rooted and loaded a custom ROM on my Desire Z, that the stock ROM has a ringtone called YOU, which I suspect is called YOU.mp3 file.

Well, I cannot get to it with the custom ROM I have nor via XDA or Google.

Can anyone put their hands on this file and post it or email to malloy0 @ msn. com?

Thanks,

malloy0

EDIT:

For those that flash your HTC Andriod ROM from stock to another chef creation, something I had missed on my HTC Desire Z stock ROM, that I finally found which is the HTC YOU TV commercial theme.

If you want the real song, $0.99 from Amazon and search this

Sinnerman (Felix Da Housecats Heavenly House Mix

The YOU mp3 is attached in a much shorter ringtone.

I changed the mp3 extension to .mp3.zip, so I could upload this file type.

After you download, remove the .zip characters to HTC YOU.mp3

Enjoy.
