[Android Software Development] hashbrown:
In Google Maps when a user of a non GPS android tablet selects driving or walking navigation a pop up screen saying "Show Location Settings?" appears. Clicking OK is the only action that can be performed which leads to the Settings/Location and Security screen. Normally the user would select Use GPS satellites and click the Back button. On tablets, that can connect to external Bluetooth GPS, there is no Use GPS satellites to enable and clicking Back brings you to the same pop up screen while voice guided navigation is being performed. Navigation is working but the map is hiding behing this screen. What can I do to bypass or remove this pop up screen?

Mock locations in Settings/Applications/Development is enabled as well as Use wireless networks. The bluetooth GPS location of the tablet works. Apps like Bluetooth GPS Provider, BlueGPS4droid and Bluetooth GPS Mouse work beautifully connecting to any external bluetooth GPS.
[Android Software Development] bompo:
You can install your app as a system app. But this will require root..
[Android Software Development] hashbrown:
I have root. My tablet is 99% stock rom and alot coming down the pipeline are stock and rooted out of the box. The problem is there's no embedded GPS but stock roms include things like telephony, etc.

I have moved Maps among all other gapps into system/app which work great. The navigation can be done w/ 3rd party apps like Telenav using external bt GPS but for some reason Maps is looking for the internal GPS. I just want to fool Maps into thinking my tablet has GPS or edit the condition for the pop up to happen.
[Android Software Development] RaptorBot:
why would you want navigation without GPS. just use the directions feature in google maps, its the same thing, without spoken directions.
[Android Software Development] hashbrown:
i have external GPS, Maps sees my location, i just want navigation too. if i actually used it for driving the directions feature wouldn't give me voice guidance. that only comes from Driving or walking.
[Android Software Development] sloik:
I, too would like a solution for this. I'm using an external bluetooth GPS unit and the app "Bluetooth GPS Mouse" for navigation in place of the crappy internal one that the Samsung Captivate provides. If I leave the internal one enabled, Maps repeatedly jumps between the two different locations from the two GPS units. If I try to disable the internal one, however, Navigation just prompts me until I enable it again.

How can I bypass this?

My DZ has just started giving this error on reboot.

I've tried reseating the card but it didn't fix it.

I also tried the card in another phone and it seemed to work OK.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dicko99:
Just for the record, reformatting the SD card in a PC cleared the problem.

I have another proposal.

We have a version of NAND Android. I am so terribly tired of searching and reading threads on the Android Development for HD2. And it will be getting worse and worse! New builds etc etc etc. It will be mix of that.

Is it not possible to simplify and make the subforum for the NAND version and for SD/RAM version?

I searched but couldnt find a clear answer. Is there any reason my set cpu only goes up to 998 max?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
That's the native clock speed of the CPU? I don't get your point
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
SetCPU isn't an over-clocking app, you want a higher speed, you have to flash a kernel that supports the speed you want.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssnow:
Hello Guys Hopefully somebody will be able to help me out. I have recently updated my Captivate to Froyo and re-rooted it with no issues. I have sense attempted to make a backup from cwm recovery and I am not able to get to it only just the stock recovery mode. I reinstalled cw recovery and that didn't work so I reinstalled rom manager and reinstalled cw recovery to no avail couldn't get into it. So i rolled back to 2.1 thinking it may be an issues with 2.2 even though I was sure how it was possible and im back to square one. I am still unable to get into cw recovery. yes the phone is fully rooted and i have also did a fix permissions and it completed sucessfully and tried to reinstall and it still doesnt work. Anybody got any suggestions?

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
You either have to switch kernel our flash back to stock then load a custom rom.

You should be able to swap kernels using

Sgs kernel flasher app from market, or odin. You would have to figure or which kernel you want to use

Dont know any specifics about this, but sometimes i can not be contacted on my phone. The people trying to phone me get a message saying "number unavailable" etc etc. Im on t-mobile uk and the reception in my area is superb. Im thinking its maybe something to do with the data connection (HSDPA) but im honestly not sure. Anyone got any ideas about how i could fix this?
[Defy General] scrannel:
Sounds like network or SIM. Have you tried you SIM in another phone?
[Defy General] zuperfly:
Good evening!

i am having same problem... after playing around :

if am in 3g (with or without data) --> i can make calls but nobody can reach me (as if phone is off) - coverage is good.

if am in 2g (with or without data) --> all fine it works perfectly.

but this should not be normal i suppose. any sugestions?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elkavayo:
I don't know what the heck is going on, but I don't this is is normal. People are buying an excellent device and far from enjoying it, they spend all the time trying to find a defect, whatever it may. It sounds to me like mass hysteria fueled by unrealistically high expectations and highly polarized opinions and advices from false experts.

Not only people complain about behavior that it's perfectly normal and within the acceptable parameters, but also show surprise to design issues that they should very well know way in advance before purchasing the device: no FM radio, no notification LED, no 4G bands, etc. Or about application failing under a new Version ofnthe OS.

It could be me, but it seems this is getting to a level of paroxysm that is not healthy. I don't usually agree with Steve Jobs but I have to admit he was right when he allegedly say: it's just a phone!

I risk sounding like an old man, but I'm going to go on a limb and say that XDA did not sound like that during the windows mobile days, and those devices were horrible by today's standards. What's happened?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrizwan:
I so agree with you I'm coming from an iphone now on the S n 4 was the shi but even that had to be tweaked so much to actually get it to its best ability n ppl still had complains, I think first of ppl who really dont know how to take a phone to its full potential or know how to find a work around for what they are missing or they are just miserable complain about the phone. I paid the full price but I did do my research n knew what I was buying. Since day one I have been happy with my S and after putting Modoca Rom n a few apps n other tweaks n widgets my phone is perfect for me. Ppl want perfect from an electronic device, contradicting to what I said but perfect isnt attainable but the S comes close. Return the phone if u want to complain about these lil issuse or do more research next time before you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xspyda:
Probably something to do with the increased cost of devices and people expecting more for their money and rightly so IMO.

If I fork out premium money I expect a premium device and not one with defects.

It may well be just a phone to some but it's also many other things to many people. If I buy a sat nav I expect it to be fully functional with no defects, likewise if I buy a media player, a camera, a games machine, an internet tablet etc etc... should we not expect the same of a convergence device?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
This thread has the potential to get ugly...

Short answer to your question is YES, IT'S NORMAL. Normal in that it's common across the internet, not just on the NS, but on anything (smartphones, cars, computers, etc).

Outside of the development sections of a forum like this, most people who are just happy and loving their device aren't going to come and post about it, so there's a natural negative skew on most forums dedicated to a product. People usually find the forum because they looked for someplace to talk about the problems or dissatisfaction with the device.

No opinion on whether it's healthy or not; for some it's cathartic to vent in public...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeartFan40:
Agreed. You have to be somewhat flexible when it comes to issues such as these. For some, spending $500 for a phone equates to months of saving, so yes, they want it to be perfect, or darn close to it. But stuff happens, and you just have to roll with the punches sometimes. If it's defective, exchange it for another one. I purchased an Asus G73 gaming Laptop (high end laptop) and had a ton pf problems with it. I exchanged it and had a problem with the replacement. I returned it and purchased an HP Envy 17 Beats Edition instead, and everything is right in the world again. It is what it is. I'm extremely happy with my Nexus S and my Hp Envy 17. Life is good.

is there something like Registry in Android OS?

and if yes, how to access on it ?

can we "root" HD2 ?

if yes, for what? why?

sorry my bad english.

there is no "registry" in linux, there are certain files that will control different modules. Windows registry i hear is one of windows major flaws.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitri89:
First of all, I wish all of you a happy new year

Since yesterday I have some problems with my HTC Desire and I'm despiring.

I have installed the LeeDroid 2.3b ROM on my Desire and the latest Radio Image.

Yesterday I made a nanddroid backup via clockwork recovery. After finishing that, my sd card didn't work, but I solved this problem via 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0'. After solving this, I had the following problems:

1.) USB doesn't work. I can't choose on my Desire, how it should be connected to the PC. The battery gets loaded but I can't use my sd card via Desire, I have to use a card reader. I tried the USB Brick Fix from this Thread, but with no effect http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691639.

2.) If I reboot my Desire, the mobile data connection is getting lost after some minutes.

3.) A very strange problem: I can't call anybody. If I call somebody and take my Desire at the ear, the phone app 'crashes' and I see the homescreen. But the phone is connecting to the phone partner and the phone of my phone partner is ringing. If he is answering the phone, my Desire starts the phone app. But if I want to speak, the phone app crashes and I can't talk to my phone partner. But the connection is still there. I'm not able to talk to anybody. I have this problem only in Sense-based ROMs.

If I flash an AOSP ROM, I have only the first problem, that USB doesn't work. My Desire behaves very very strange. I hope, that somebody could help me, please.....

I hope it was understandable, sorry for my particullary bad english. Thank you for your help.

What happens if you flash back to a stock ROM or use stock RUU?

I have tried this, but it doesn't work :-(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
it can't be. this is a modified misc partition. if it didn't work it means that your problem wasn't it.

can you give some phone infos.

branded-unbranded. s-off or not. changed partions. radio. current rom that started the problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitri89:
I don't, why it didn't work.

I have an unbranded, S-OFF Desire, I didn't change the partitions. The latest radio is installed "32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27". The problem started with a pre-rooted Stock ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
for the moment i would recommend flashing the most stable sense rom out there which is Leedroids and revert radio to 30_2, but flash radio through fastboot and not recovery. i suppose that fastboot work. make aclean start. after that try and install the modaco usb fix again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitri89:
I tried this, but the problems are still there :-(. Is it possible, that this is a hardware problem?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
i do not think it is a hardware problem. but something went wrong during read write process
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitri89:
Could it be fixed, if I flash an original RUU ROM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
i believe so. just download yours from shipped roms and flash it. after that try rooting again with unrevoked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitri89:
I installed the original RUU yesterday but the problems are still there, no USB, no telephone and no mobile data connection. Therefore I can't root my Desire via Unrevoked, because USB is not working.

I don't know, if this matter, but I found out, that my Desire is branded by Vodafone yet. Therefore I installed the original branded RUU.

Is there somthing I can do furthermore or do I have to send my Desire to HTC?

I received an Airave a little while back from Sprint. Since then, intermittently I have been unable to send or receive txt messages. It ONLY happens when I am at home and connected to the Airave. If I do a Profile update, it resets something and I am able to then use txt messaging at home. I have contacted Sprint, they say that since there is a Treo here in the house and this is NOT an issue with it, then it is a phone issue not an Airave issue. However, if I unplug the Airave, texting works again. Any suggestions? Is this the wrong place to ask this question?

As you know, we got a Chinese froyo rom for DEFY but it's degoogled. I'm tring to add google services for that.

My plan is unpack SBF file and add mdpi-gapps then pack again.

Now, I've already unpacked the SBF file sucessful and got the CG39.smg. but I strucked on unpacking the CG39.smg, unyaffs.exe doesn't work on my windows7. I need help or anybody can run unyaffs on your Linux surounding?

2. Download unyaffs.exe from this page: http://jiggawatt.org/badc0de/android/index.html

3. Download MotoAndroidDepacker.exe from http://modmymoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=530781

4. Use MotoAndroidDepacker.exe unpack 2.2 sbf file, then you got CG39.smg

5. Unpack CG39.smg by unyaffs.exe, you should get /system folder if everything goes well, then just delete or add anything you want and pack a new SBF at last.

Well, there's only one way to find out.
[Defy General] pedrodh:
unyaffs never worked for me with CG39. I've tried that when I first got the phone. My guess is that it's not pure yaffs filesystem image, or that the unyaffs code it's buggy. I've tried modifing it prior to compliling, but all I got was different errors, from Stack Overflows to program hardcoded messages like the filesystem was not properly built.

:o Yes, I have same result. Fortunately， we got the gapp update packge from MOTO, so every google services run well on Chinese Froyo now, you should try it.
