My Fake Location apk?

Can anyone post the My Fake Location apk? It doesn't show up in my market on my gTab and I haven't (and really can't) rooted my phone to get the apk to be able to side load it.

Thanks

Same here. Installed My Fake Location, enabled Use Mock Locations & started up MFL but still hangs on Google Earth splash screen...

Shoot I had my hopes up that this would finally get Google Maps working... :(
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeutonicWolf:
Google Earth works for me -- both in Portrait and Landscape mode

Here's a recap of how mine is configured if it helps:

- Installed "Location Spoofer" from the Market and set my coordinates

- Location Spoofer has both "Move Randomly" and "Spoof GPS Location" turned OFF (unchecked)

- Running Google Earth v.1.2.1 (6.0.1.2051)

- In Google Earth settings, "Use Hardware Sensors" is turned off (unchecked)

I've tried both "My Fake Location" and "Location Spoofer" and just find that the later works better for me...

Hope that helps...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trscons:
On this stock gTablet I don't have to run any kind of location spoofer and Earth runs fine with all the controls shown in the help file (sans GPS). The only thing I notice is the image gets blocky and distorts right before maximum zoom-in is reached. No big deal. I find it rather amazing that Earth even runs on a tablet.

I have a theme I really like (cozmic76_v5), but I want to change the battery icon. I have tried several methods with no success.

First question: does anyone have this theme with a circle battery icon?

Second question: If answer to first question is no, do you have any detailed instructions on how I can edit a cw flashable theme?

Thanks,

Jason.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
I'd take a look at MetaMorph or use the UOT Kitchen to modify your battery at http://circle.glx.nl/.

MetaMorph is fairly safe and easy to create themes for changing images on your phone only.

Looks liked the 100 is dead as far as toshiba is concered....

http://www.reghardware.com/2011/01/06/ces_toshiba_tablet_2/
[Folio 100 General] jbbrans:
This is not a sign of Toshiba dropping the folio 100. A device is not developed this fast.

In 2 months time you cannot release a tablet, see it's not a succes, see if you can make an update to make it better, when that doesn't work, then develop a completely new tablet and present it to the public.

If you can do that, you also could have made the first one work right.
[Folio 100 General] Dexter_nlb:
Folio 100 was announced last year around feb/march 2010 :-) so i guess the new one will arrive in late 2011, if planning/anouncements match the previous release.

I hear what your say Dexter. I think your probably right. It wont be Q1 thats for sure. I just cant believe they go on saying these things that they cant keep to. I guess im being educated on how to roll Toshiba style.
[Folio 100 General] Dexter_nlb:
Motorola is not much better, they release as example Milestone, and while we're seeing 2.3 released on other major phones, Milestone is still behind and waiting for its 2.2 update :-) not only Toshiba is bad on support, Motorola sux too..

So even though the XOOM Tablet from Moto is on its way, im not sure when you actually see it, and if they deliver with 2.3 only, im sure you will have to wait at least a year for 3.0, as Milestone/Droid users did for a 2.2 and its still not out for milestone.

Yesterday I updated to a 3.70 rom, gmail synced fine and I had no trouble receiving emails. Now I can't send emails and it looks like I never could also it says I have 4 emails but I can't view them. What should I do? Should I try reinstalling the gmail app, as I restored it from a backup?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinb99:
I added another account as a test and it is working great should should I try removing and then adding my primary account?

Did you try going into Manage Applications and clearing Data and Cache for gmail?

It won't delete your emails and It'll all reload once you open it up again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
1) Try clearing cache+data for Gmail.

2) Try removing and re-adding your account.

3) See if you can log in to Google Talk.

Those should narrow down the problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beetnubbin:
Solution (if rooted)

I had this same problem, try to send and the messages stay stuck on sending and notifications won't clear. clearing cache and data, and reboot didn't work.

Uninstalled with titanium as was installed on system and reinstalled from market. works perfectly now
[Galaxy Tab General] MaxiJavi:
Hi,

I have been trying to make my tab run as smoothly as possible ...

So far I have tried the following in the build.prop :

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180

dalvik.vm.startheapsize=8m

dalvik.vm.heapsize=64m

And the FE speed tweaks v2.1 from here :

http://forum.samdroid.net/f53/cm-speed-tweaks-xda-fe-versions-2879/

All except for the FS remounting, as A) I don't have the "cut" command installed and B) I was scared of messing with the FS options ;-)

Anyway, the system feels a little smoother and Quadrant is giving me more consistent 1050s on RotoJMEv2.

But I am sure we can tweak the settings further for the Tab.

Just thought I would share
[Galaxy Tab General] maxjivi05:
Did the samething testing it now.
[Galaxy Tab General] MaxiJavi:
Bare in mind that Quadrant is incredibly inconsistent, specially on the first run.

I normally restart the tab ... Wait ... And then run the test 3 times and average the last two runs (as the first one tends to be a full 100 off).
[Galaxy Tab General] maxjivi05:
Okay after the tweaks below speeds were faster in all tests I used caffinemark and quad and I ran multiple tests. The interface seems a little snappier. Try it post your results. Btw tested on sprint galaxy tab
[Galaxy Tab General] maxjivi05:
Okay tested after this list of steps I'm getting quad scores of 2227 - 2322 on my tab.

Install OCLF from the market install ext tools then install lag fix 2.2+.

Allow it to do everything reboot then click change scheduler click noop , and both check marks then save then download Sgs tools and open root explorer and make a txt file in /sdcard/sgstools/ and add this to that file

Without the quotes I take no credits for this just removed the remount and changing of io scheduler for peformance to our device. Then open sgs tools and click apply script and select the script u made then close out and wala higher scores faster tab!
[Galaxy Tab General] MaxiJavi:
Wow awesome ... Really did make a difference.

Where do I find the latest SGS Tools ?

It isn't on my market or appbrain, and I want to make sure I get the right one.

But OCLF really gave IO a BIG performance boost ... But how risky is it ?
[Galaxy Tab General] maxjivi05:
Latest says 2.0 but in about it says 2.3 you can find it on Google, also its in Dec section of these forums. :)

On oclf with risk I did it thinking there was a risk but went through with it and everything was fine. Just got to let it. Its thing

Also since the tab and galaxy phones are very alike I figured the file system would be okay and worked like a charm. Hopefully I don't get to brave and brick it anytime soon lol
[Galaxy Tab General] MaxiJavi:
I am running watchdog, autorun killer and autokiller.

I can get over 2400 on Quadrant will all the tweaks applied :-)

Is there anything that can run the script automatically on startup ?

Anyway, the OCLF tip was awesome, thanks !!
[Galaxy Tab General] Beerkan:
When I run OCLF it fails with this error message.

'OneClickLagFix V2.2+ failed with error: Could not mount loopback device /dev/loop5! mount: Device or resource busy'
[Galaxy Tab General] maxjivi05:
Not sure about apply auto, I don't trust using scripts auto for a while to test it out but ill look and see what I can find.
[Galaxy Tab General] MaxiJavi:
When did you get this error ? On launching the app ?
[Galaxy Tab General] Coolsaber57:
Which of these tweaks will work with EXT4?

I'm assuming that I will not be able to use OCLF at all, but will any of those tweaks in the previous page work for ext4?
[Galaxy Tab General] +BroNNoS+:
I have the same error. It happens on creating the loopback ext.
[Galaxy Tab General] maxjivi05:
Did you install the tools after opening the app? Also what version does it say you have? In about it should say 2.3.0

Also is your tab rooted?

Try to unmount your sdcard and remount it I seen this has helped people in the past
[Galaxy Tab General] MaxiJavi:
Hi,

Today was my first full day on these settings and my battery life was a lot better than usual and tab as smooth as silk all day ... I did have less free memory though.

I am thinking there has to be a catch somewhere :-)

Incidentally, I thought it was obvious that you have to be rooted to attempt these tweaks.
[Galaxy Tab General] gillebob:
Ok got to where it reboots and is stuck on samsung logo for nearly an hour now, keeps giving a little buzz every few minutes but nothing else, any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab General] maxjivi05:
You ran Oclf version 2.3.0 and it rebooted and it gets stuck at Samsung logo? Did you use lagfix 2.2+ after installing the tools?
[Galaxy Tab General] gillebob:
Yeah it rebooted right after installing lagfix 2.2 and didn't come back.

Edit; the logo is glowing as usual and every so often it flickers, but the buzz comes once then a minute later it gives three buzzes like an FC.
[Galaxy Tab General] maxjivi05:
Sounds like something didn't go right what version of the tab do you have? I use the sprint version
[Galaxy Tab General] gillebob:
eu version, just did a full factory restore and reinstalling all my ****, thats what i get for bloody messing, :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab General] maxjivi05:
Lol, sorry about the problems all I know is these r they only mods I did to this device and it had no problems what so ever but its risky
[Galaxy Tab General] MaxiJavi:
I used OCLF 2.3.0 on the EUR JME roto rom ...

All great here, no way I could go back to the stock config now.

Hopefully there will be a custom ROM that has these tweaks built in so that people don't have to mess around with risky stuff.
[Galaxy Tab General] hironaru:
remove microSDHCcard
[Galaxy Tab General] VeEuzUKY:
This all sounds great... but...

I am soooooooooooo sorry upfront for the totally retard questions here... sucks to be a newbie:(

I got my Tab a few days ago and I like it, but, its slow. I come from having an HTC HD2 and knowing how to tweak Windows Mobile 6.5x very well through XML configuration files and the registry... but I am BLANK at Android and the Galxay Tab.

My unit is slow... very slow... it runs at 1GHz (Ive installed SetCPU and locked it under the 1GHz Performance setting as this is as fast as it goes since no overclocking is possible on the Galaxy... at least to the best of my knowledge)... My one year old HD2 also runs at 1GHz (I installed an Android ROM on it) but its muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch faster overall than the Galaxy.

On the Galaxy everything stutters and is generally slow, animations, drawer... nothing is really smooth. I get around 780 Quadrant and though I know these results are inconsistent, its clear this unit is slow.

So, on to tweaking!... is there a step-by-step guide or easy script on how to apply this thread's tweaks? It all sounds great but I really have no idea how to do any of this.

The only thing I tried that has speed up the Tab a bit was installing an app called SYSTEM APPS REMOVER that allows to remove useless ROM locked aps that come with the Tab that use resources and that I dont use. I removed all the Samsung Apps, SIM Toolkit and lots of other stuff I dont need and it helped a bit. I also use an app to control the applications that start automatically on boot-up and that also helped. But Id like to apply some major tweaking to see if the Galaxy "comes to life"... with a 1GHz processor it should do much better.

Again sorry for being a newbie at this. Any help will be much appreciated:)

can i flash glitterballs kernel on axura 2.5.1 rom?? is it compatible?

and is the phone performance all dependent on the kernel?
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
You should be able to, but if you were going to try you want to make due you use the version released on 12/23 #7 as it had been the most stable. I would suggest using sgs kernel flashing app from market.

Kernels control the resources of the phone, so a good one goes a long way to getting your phone running well
[Captivate General] smackdownn:
do i need to disable lagfix or something??
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
I would to be safe.

The app will actually backup your current kernel, if you do not like the new one you can go right back

i have used odin before only to flash to stock!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethexi23:
Reason im asking is because we have a loft with concrete all around and the local net provider hasnt wired the unit for service yet.

I can only get 4G at our front window, which is about 10-15 feet from my PS3.

This got me thinking......How far away from the phone can you be and still get a 4G wireless signal? Whats the furthest you have still been able to get a signal with your phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
You're not looking for WiMax, you're looking for WiFi. To answer your question, probably 20-50 feet, reliable.

Also, for gaming, your experience is going to be horrible. Cellular, WiMax, and especially tethering all give you high ping times, which basically means "lots of lag". I just hope you're playing any twitch (FPS)/racing games...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethexi23:
Ive played it online on wimax without a problem, i just cant host any games.(black ops)

I was getting 4-8 mbps speeds in my previous apartment on wimax when charter went out for a few days (and of course 1mbps up) but this was with my phone sitting on top of my ps3.

I was just wondering how far away you could actually go..ive never tried.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khilbron:
You can go as far away as you can get a reliable wi-fi signal to your ps3. Your 4g speeds will be based on how strong a signal your phone can acquire. Moving away from your phone won't affect anything unless you move beyond the wi-fi broadcast range.

Before I got internet setup at my new house, I tethered my phone and placed it in a window ~25ft away from my pc, and was able to play world of warcraft with decent enough latency to raid, on a 1 bar 4g signal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethexi23:
Cool.

Im gonna test it out with my computer when i get home (Only thing i wonder about is the wifi receiver that the ps3 uses......if it picks up a wider range of signal than my computer)
[Focus General] tuffluck:
so i got my focus about 2 months ago and extended my ATT plan. now my company tells me they will no longer reimburse ATT phone accounts, only sprint. so i'm considering switching to sprint. i'm frustrated because i would have just not gotten the focus and let my ATT account expire, but now i am subject to that damn $250 plan cancellation or whatever.

anyway, i would be interested in using the focus with sprint if possible. like unlocking an iphone, i would think unlocking the focus would allow one to use it with other networks. is this true?

otherwise i'll probably wind up ebay'ing it. at least it will cover the $250 ATT cancellation fee plus a little profit.
[Focus General] ITDRAGON:
your ebaying it.. you can't put a gsm phone on a cdma network.
[Focus General] LS1Jabroni:
I suggest moving to another company that does reimburse your AT&T plan, or at least offer a discount! :D If you mean 100% reimbursal too, then you are very lucky, I only get an 18% discount on my bill through the job.

But seriously, what AT&T may suggest is having your service auctioned off to someone else to avoid paying the early termination fee... the downside I think is you may lose your cell number. I would suggest calling customer service and going directly to the cancel service option, then escalate to a manager. Those are honestly the only people that do anything to help... trust me I know!
[Focus General] tuffluck:
i can keep my cell number, but i think the company takes the plan in whole. meaning that if i leave the company, i probably lose my number at that point. that would be a deal breaker if true.

i get a 15% discount PLUS they were paying another $50 of my bill. the 15% stays intact, the extra $50 off goes away.

15% isn't bad and probably worth staying with ATT if the hassle is too great otherwise.
[Focus General] foxbat121:
You can't use a GSM phone on CDMA carrier. The best you can do is use with T-Mobile if you get it unlocked. Even that you will lost 3G capability.

CDMA carriers typically don't allow any phone that is not provisioned by the carrier. So, basically, you can't even use Verizon's CMDA phone on Sprint.

BTW, the ETF from AT&T is $325 pro-rated.
[Fascinate General] beeblebrux:
I apologize if this has already been covered. If it has, I wasn't able to find it.

1)

After a call, when I pull the phone away, the notification bar gets stuck "slightly" pulled down and touches to the screen are unresponsive. I have to pull the notification bar down all the way, then put it back up to make it go away. Otherwise, the bar just stays at about a half inch (or less) from the top of the screen. I'm using the SuperDark rom, but I don't think it's an issue with that since I remember the same thing happening with one of the first calls I made on the phone. It seems to happen about 1 out of 4 calls I make. I'm pretty used to it now and I usually just end the call using the notification bar when it happens, but I wanted to know if anyone is experiencing this and how it can be avoided/fixed.

2)

Animated GIFs. I saw the post of annoyances saying how the browser doesn't support them. But I couldn't find anything about the Gallery app not supporting them, either. I can deal with the browser, but I use Chandroid for 4chan and such, and it would be nice to view the animated GIFs I save from Chandroid in the Gallery. Is there a fix for this? Or possibly an alternate Gallery app I can use?

Thanks in advance

it does lagg sometimes a bit. but usually u dont see it in games.

only with quadrant.
