Hi all

Of course, I know that Htc Desire has got it's own Gps head but i've read several times that it will suck the battery damn quickly...

I was wondering, instead of this inernal GPS head, would it be more interesting, in term of battery life, to use a Bluetooth (BT ) connection to an external head...

I've tried it...No problem to have the external head ( Holux GPSslim236 ) beeing recognaized and paired...but it fails to connect...and I have no idea what it missing

In a previous life, when I was using my Windows Mobile PDA, in order to connect such a head, I had to provide a specific Com8 port, along with a SPP service to the BT...

so, two quickies..

1) Has that been already tested ?

2) Successfull i.e connected ?

Thks for having read all that :-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] minus30:
Haven't tried it yet, but I believe the WhereYouGo application has support for external Bluetooth devices. Might want to give it a try :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] herbert1:
There are a few app for this:

- Bluetooth GPS

- Bluetooth GPS Provider

- Bluetooth GPS Mouse

- Bluetooth GPS For Android

....

Some have been tested on this blog: AndroGeoid.

I was having some problems trying to find a solution for this, I recently flashed black froyo on nero 3, then I started applying sub themes from ginger blue for nero 3. These two themes combined turned out great, but my dock apps started disappearing and I can't figure out how to get them back. I used other launchers and the apps are there on those docks but not touch whiz. Any suggestions? Thanks!

EDIT: Here is some pics of the missing apps in the dock and what these themes combined looks like.

2nd EDIT: Resolved by follow members, thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
You could try just adding the apps back to the bottom dock. If you aren't familiar with how....

Open the Applications dock, Hit Menu...Choose View Type....Select Customizable Grid...then hit Menu again and select EDIT. You should then be able to drag application icons to the bottom dock....hit Menu and select Save when you're done.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeEazy10:
Today I went to the head tmobile store to change out my mytouch sim card because I thought I wasn't receiving 4G signal.. so I decide to ask how do I know if I'm on 4G or 3g and I was told edge is 3g H is 4G?!?!? Is this true?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olyloh6696:
As far as i'm concerned, 2G = GPRS

2.5G = EDGE, 3G = HSDPA

not sure about 4g though, we don't have it in the UK.

Probably who told you gave false info.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybereclipse:
no, whoever told you that is an idiot

if you look on the top bar, on top of the data logo if it says:

G = Then you are on the GPRS mobile network (slow as fark)

E = Edge network (still slow as fark...but at least you're getting somewhere)

H = 3G/4G... the only way to tell is if you go into settings, about phone, network and look under Mobile Network Type

If it says HSDPA...youre on 3G

HSDPA+ = 4G :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olyloh6696:
But in the UK, we can also get 3.5G which equals to 3G+,

So in The US, you don't have 3.5G? You just have 3G or 4G?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bredemey:
Actually, HSDPA+ is 3.5G, not 4G.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el-jodio:
Are we supposed to see HSPA+ for 4g in settings?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweak89:
HTC really screwed the pooch by not including a 3G identifier (even though they show it in the user manual available for download). If my phone showed 3G then I'd be content with the speeds I'm getting. When I see H and only get 3G speeds, makes me feel like I'm not getting what I'm paying for!

I have NEVER seen true 4G connectivity on my phone (or my wife's, or even two demo phones-G2 and MT4G-at a t-mobile store). The only networks that connect to in the Houston area are UMTS and HSDPA, which are both 3G. I've never seen HSPA or HSPA+, strange since Houston and the suburb where I live are supposed to be 4g areas.

As it was explained to me by multiple techs from t-mobile: G=GPRS, E=EDGE, UMTS and HSDPA= 3G, HSPA and HSPA+= 4g
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el-jodio:
I'm also in a "HSPA+" area and don't see HSPA+ speeds.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el-jodio:
Have you looked into the whole 3g indicator thing?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeEazy10:
Thanks! i downloaded a widget from the market last night that tell if I'm either on 3g or 4g...etc what i notice when you're browsing the web your phone will switch over from 3g to 4G.

And yeah the ppl at my head t-mobile store don't know anything about phones... its sad
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el-jodio:
What widget?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
I don't know if this true for the wireless industry in general, or if this is particular to T-Mobile, but I've been given a LOT of misinformation from T-Mobile reps over the years. Usually the info was regarding something technical, like this thread is about, but also about things like plans and phone prices. TMO has great customer service as far as the friendliness and helpfulness of their reps, but a lot of the info they give is often inaccurate.

Hello all- I have just got a 16gb card in my SGS and have been using Windows Media Player as well as Winamp and it never seems to come out correctly.

I always end up missing album are and the some files end up being deleted, it's just not as straight up and easy as I believe it should be.

What programs do you guys use to get music on your I9000 ?

I was wondering if Kies was any good but I found Kies to be quite slow and spotty.

Any good solid ways to make transfers easy, especially with album art ?

Cheers for any information !!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickfinger:
Yes, agree totally. use USB Mass storage function and copy and paste, its the least painful way :)

erm itunes?? isnt that fruit? hmmm lol yes if you find they work fine and are smaller without sound quality loss you should be good. It will just be encoded at a higher rate thus making the file smaller.......or you could change the encoding rate of mp3s to make the file smaller and avoid fruit lol

That winamp music transfer is great if you use winamp
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaman:
Use "Media Player" USB Connection mode and sync via Windows Media Player... it will work... the playlists, however, won't.

So, manually copy your playlists (after syncing) to the /sdcard/Playlists folder and use a player that can read .wpl files (PlayerPro)

All will work fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamplighter13:
Cheers for the help guys. I may avoid WMP and try the card and reader and just transfer that way.

[Click General] guuso50:

[Click General] rallapag:
Check following path to set if you have already selected some thing by default

uncheck it.

Menu > Settings > Connect to PC > Select Ask me option

Then go to launcher and selected USB to PC

If it says Disk drive then select HTC Sync and Select Ask me option and click Done

when it prompts to choose quickly select disk drive and click OK (you have to be fast here other wise phone would go to htcsync)

If it goes to htc sync cancel and try to change again to sdcard/usbstorage and see if it prompts. or change again to htcsync and try again

I had bad experience with earlier donut builds where it is not easy to connect to PC

If you have already done this and not working then you could access sdcard via recovery
[Click General] guuso50:
the last tip doesn't work for me neither???

does anyone knows a other solution so i can update my tattoo with htc sync?
[Click General] rallapag:
Can you explain a bit more on what you did and what happened.

That would help people to understand what is happening.

Can you also change you usb cable and see if it helps (if you can borrow from some one)

All the best

Hi everyone,

I just got my wildfire and I've already experienced a bit of an issue with it. I tried texting my friend today with the phone and i noticed that all the messages i send is gathered together on one end while her text messages are grouped together on the other end. I was wondering if there's a way to resolve this; I can't say I enjoy scrolling up and down endlessly trying to read my texts and try to respond to it properly.

the second issue is the fav't list. I tried setting my fav't list with the contacts on my phone that's not on fb or any other social network and it doesn't seem to work at all.

thanks for the help.

p.s. I'm not new to the forums, I started out being apart of this community as a sony ericsson x1 user, now I'm using the wildfire. It's great to be here, I'm very excited and hope to continue to help make some helpful and constructive contributions to the forums.
[Wildfire General] asian_boi:
I guess I should explain this more clearly just to make sure.

here's what happens when I text

It seems to appear as:

Text 1 to me

Text 2 to me

Text 3 to me

Text 1 from me

Text 2 from me

Text 3 from me

I would like this showing as:

Text 1 from me

Text 1 to me

Text 2 from me

Text 2 to me

Text 3 from me

Text 3 to me

Does that make sense and is this possible?

Thanks

i know android is having a few sms issues http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9392&cnum=500&cstart=1401#c1460 but i have no idea re your issue
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
Strange, in my sms app it shows up just as you would want.. and i didn't change any of the settings :-)

Are you sure that your time settings are right? Because the ordening of the smses happens by the timestamp of a given sms, and it relays on the time of the phone that sends the sms. So if your friends phone sends an sms at, lets say, 9h, but its in fact 10h at your phone, your phone will still classify the sms "receved at nine o clock". In the sms app it will be classified just like that, so in this way it is not unlikely to think that all your smses (or those of your friend) will be clustered tougether because of a systematic time stamp mistake in one of the phones.

Hmm, not sure I'm making myself very clear :p but, just check your time settings ;-)

ErwinP
[Wildfire General] asian_boi:
Thanks guys for your helpful suggestions.

Erwin P: I think it is the time stamp problem. luckily after some research and some help from a friend I was able to get a hold of a program call sms time fix. it seems to have solve some of the problems for now; atlease my phone is recieving messages like the way that i want them to, although it is still sending it somewhat delayed here and there.

I was wondering though...is this the problem of the phone, or the problem with my service provider?
