Thanks in advance..

[General Questions and Answers] scrappedcola:
I don't know you might make a google search using the terms "lightinthebox scam". There are quite a few "these products are cheap knock off's" and such complaints. But generally the most vocal will be the one's who think they have been wronged (or have some reason to make you think they have been wronged). If you do take a chance with them I suggest only using paypal just to be "safer". Do not use Western Union no matter what. Do not assume just because a favored and trusted site advertises another company that the company is legit. Ad space is a paid commodity, driven by automated system that tracks your browsing interests through the use of cookies (kind of like those happy little "rewards" cards you get at the super market).

Thank you for your insight! Paypal is a great protection idea..

Hello all,

I just flashed build 16, but my power widgets [mobile data, wifi, gps, ect] isn't showing up. I've re-flashed the rom and clear my cache. Has anyone had this problem? Everything else has been fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novanosis85:
It's a nightly..... not even suppose to be flashed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Go to cynogen settings and check that is mark off to show those Widgets, maybe there off and just to let you know this supposed to be posted on q & a section this one is for appsorganizer and themes :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I'm sorry. And I did check it though, but what I'm saying is that the widget bar is just missing in general. I pull down the notification bar and its just notifications, no widgets.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AreWhyA_In:
Go to the general section for evolution and check the cm7 official nightly thread. They are talking about this. It sounds like there is an issue with this build. Switch back to previous build it wait until tomorrow it will be fixed then.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xhazyx:
Here's tthe issue:

Developer cvpcs has a version of the notification Widgets that are supppsed to be even better than the ones being used currently, but they had and issue integrating them into this build.... but the issue has been worked out and tomorrow's build will include the widgets
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Right, I did notice an issue with this build, so I ended up just clearing it completely and it worked, and I found that if I restored user data with titanium backup, it messed it up.

Ah well thanks for clearing it up. Looking forward to the new build.

How to install Tnt after installing Adam.

If I go into CWM after copying the Tnt 4.20 zip file, it does not show the zip files there.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Make sure the tnt file is in .zip format and not .rar format. Roebeet releases his stuff in .rar. You need to unrar it first

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeremyLeroy96:
Is there a Desire HD Rom (NewSense) for the HTC Desire CDMA Version? Can't find it anywhere.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puttsy:
I'll second that!

I second that. Looking for new Sense HD. I know it HAS to be possible, the Desire has already gotten the Sense HS so the hardware is compatible, the radio is totally different though and that's where we're stuck at :( Too few modders have cdma phones, it's a growing number though!

We're actually looking for a BravoC Sense HD ROM
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeremyLeroy96:
Yep, it would definitely be my rom if it were released.

I was going to take up the project of porting one myself but i wouldn't know where to start.

i agree. i cant find one anywhere...
[Fascinate General] jazzyjames:
Quick question, when I do a nand backup on the Fascinate, does that backup the kernel as well?

I know on the eris, if I was to flash a new rom and kernel, and didn't like that rom, all I had to do was wipe the data and cache, and restore the backup and I would be done, is that the same on the fascinate?
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
No, all it backs up is the rom and your data.
[Fascinate General] kent1146:
On a related note, is it possible to do a backup of the entire phone (ROM, kernel, data) so that it can be re-flashed / recovered via Odin?

I had an issue last night where I had to restore an old backup with CWM / ROM Manager, because of a buggy and unstable kernel that I had installed. And the phone was completely unstable / unusable after the restore from backup. I had to flash back to complete stock DL09 via Odin, and was wondering whether there was a way for me to create my own Odin image if this happens again.

Yes, see here

[Venue Pro General] MO3iusONE:
Well this decision wasn't easy. I can honestly say that the Droid Pro's hardware is probably some of the best I've tried. My biggest complain is Windows Phone 7. Don't get me wrong, its a beautiful OS and a hell of a lot smoother than Android but when it comes to day to day use, I need Android.

I had a Treo 650/755p for the longest time. I had purchased phones like the Touch Pro 1/2, BB Curve but in the end always found myself going back to my Treo. Maybe I was to use to it or maybe it was just better when it came to certain things. Thats the way I feel with Android right now; the multitasking, the customization, google voice (this is a big one). Like some of you have said, WP7 is still rather new/young which is understandable but I think this late in the game if your gonna release an OS from the ground up, you gotta hit the ground running, as polished and as smooth as this OS is, its not enough for me to want to stay, maybe a year or so from now I might consider coming back, I really hate to be returning my Venue Pro but I guess I'm too use to Android. To everyone whose decide to keep the Venue Pro, goodluck and hopefully dell starts pumping out some updates for the phone to make it a bit better.
[Venue Pro General] manny84:
I'm a fan of Android, and a former HTC EVO 4G user. I have a few friends that have the Nexus S, and I must say that stock Android with the lastest update (Gingerbread 2.3) is pretty awesome. I must admit that when I switched to WP7, I was missing its functionality. In fact, I almost went back to Android but ultimately decided to stick with WP7. The Nexus S phone itself is a sweet-looking device, too. The little guy packs quite a punch! Good luck though!
[Venue Pro General] MO3iusONE:
The biggest thing for me is google voice, it just works so smoothly on Android, I basically do all my texting, voicemail and calls through GV so its a bit of a paint when I use GoVoice on WP7 and the app needs to start up every single time I open it, I had similar issues on iOS as well. I'm all about getting a text, opening it, replying, and putting the phone back in my pocket so you can how much of a paint it is to receive a text, click on GoVoice, have it start up, then refresh, then eventually replying to a text lol.

I think what WP7 does, it does well; hell even some of the games on WP7 are waay more polished than Android ( I had a blast with Rocket Riot) Zune was super smooth and being able to change songs no matter what screen you were on was a plus. I'm actually a bit sad to be letting it go, I bought a Skinomi sking for it along with a otter case for it :(

I flashed the wrong task29 spash, I now have a touch pro 2 one instead of an AT&T one.

Any fix?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
:D

Could you elaborate a bit more? What exactly did you install? Does the phone boot?

PS Maybe I should install a HD2 "task29 spash" on my TP2 so I'll get a HD2 inside my TP2 :D Brilliant :cool:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lurittelija:
Hello!

Well the day came, my phone storage is full. Now I'm asking for some tips on how to free some memory. I tried to install all I could to SD but for example Fpesece didn't work until installed to device. It seems that Windows folder takes most of the memory so is there something not needed by the systems. I have deleted all the wallpapers and music and old opera version exe and everything remotely useless. I now have 22MB free out of 175MB. How much free space is needed for system to run smoothly, Youtube stopped working when I had less then 10MB free.

And I haven't installed all that much programs to device, some minor tweaks and Fpesece so it makes this even harder to understand where the free space has gone. And the obvious, all my mails, txt and so on goes to SD and I have been using the phone for 5 months already.

Appreciate all help!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
Download "sktools" or "pocket mechanic", something like that anyway and run the cleanup option, that should give you some breathing room.

I usually only have around 50mb free after the weekly cleanup.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwilsonb:
With my HD2 I found I would continually run out of space. The culprit turned out to be the Opera Downloads directory (/windows/opera/profiles/download).

I mention that because although Opera showed no files in the Downloads directory via Opera settings, when I actually inspected the directory there was about 80mb of files in there.

Deleted the files and moved both the Opera cache and the Opera downloads to the storage card via the opera:config settings and I no longer have a problem with the main storage space filling up.

The other thing that did make a difference was specifying in the mail app that attachments should be stored on the storage card as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakure:
also googlemaps cache.thats the biggest culprit....install gmaps on sd card and remove the files on device memory
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
Hi, people,

Just to let you know that I have fixed my gps issue by installing this app called "gps booster" from the market.

I have always believed that the gps issue was caused by hardware and given up on fixing it.

However, for the last resort, I tried this app and what do you know, it fixed it!!

On average, it takes less than a minute to get a solid lock.

Now, I know that sometimes, you get a fast random locks but I have used this app over a month now and every single time, I get a fast lock, so this is not a random case. I have tried this in different regions too.

Also, I have recommended this to numerous friends who were experiencing bad gps as well, and they all have told me that the problem has gone after installing this app.

I would like to know if this is actually a fix for all sgs out there.

There is a trial version for free, so if you are experiencing a bad gps, why not try it and leave a comment.

It worked for me and all of my friends so hopefully, it will work for ya.

After getting few comments, we can find out if the gps issue is software or hardware problem.

I sincerely hope it's software issue so it can get fixed in later firmware.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] laconic5:
I've been using GPS Booster (paid) for a few weeks and it has definitely improved the GPS. After installing, it found more satellites and got a faster lock.

But accuracy and tracking is still a problem. The accuracy is a bit better but I still end up shouting to the phone "I'm over here! I'm over here!". Maintaining a lock when I'm walking, no problem. Maintaining a lock when I'm driving, forgetabouit. Out of all the "fixes" I've tried (minus the hardware fix) GPS Booster has had the most positive effect (but it's still no where as good as my old Touch HD).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
are you using standalone gps app?

I'm using Navigon currently, and it tracks pretty good when I'm driving.

It does sometimes lose signal for a while but it rarely happens.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] laconic5:
I'm just using Google Maps/Navigation. Maybe 3rd party apps are better optimised at maintaining a lock.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
If your phone is set to use AGPS and uses the best pool data then i doubt if this app can do any better .

All its doing is using the AGPS in a manner that boosts the signal location by using networks location as well as GPS .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] laconic5:
Is AGPS the same as "Use Wireless Networks"? I actually get better results when I disable "Use Wireless Networks" and use Cold Start. If I enable "Use Wireless Networks" the accuracy is ridiculously bad.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] salmanslick:
my gps works good with google maps , if i turn "use wireless netowrks " on .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phalanger:
GPS booster noticably improves the GPS for me aswell. I do not use AGPS so I don't think it only affects AGPS.

I use this combined with TrackerBooster, and with those two, my GPS is quite close to perfect. It very rarely deviates more than 5m.

Without them, my GPS is still not horrible but definately less accurate and losing locks more often (with them, extremely rare to happen).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
A-GPS picks up wireless/network settings .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
GPS booster does nothing but keeping your GPS on. It doesn't improve GPS at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
I was thinking the same, how can a magical app fix a hardware defect. Placebo effect?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] laconic5:
At first I thought it might be a placebo effect, but I have been getting satellite locks in places where there use to be none. It could be a coincidence that the day I installed GPS Booster is also the day the satellites in the sky became stronger or closer. I don't think it has "fixed" the GPS issue, but it has made the GPS useable (for me at least).

I've read that GPS Booster is a rip-off of FasterFix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825717

I had FasterFix installed for a week, first adjusted to UK then Europe, and did not see any improvement.

This app must be using some kind of magic or witchcraft or VOODOO.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
No, I'm not using any AGPS. (wifi + 3g turned off)

And it still gets a fast lock.

Why don't you try this app and see it for yourself?

you can tell us if it worked or not.

Looking at the comments, it seems that it's working for people
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
I thought it was a hardware defect as well but now I'm not too sure.

For example, many users reported improved gps with JM8 firmware

and also I've found a thread which says installing OCLF lagfix fixed their gps.

In both cases, it's got something to do with software.

Wat have you got to lose? Try the app, see it for yourself and let us know!

Who knows, it might fix your gps
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
NOT true.

App only gets activated when you turn on gps.

Do a bit of research before making an absurd comment.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gfacer:
Interested but 3 times

Seems like an interesting app to try but given the skeptics, it seems like 3 runs is a little lite to make a conclusion. I'll likely still try it but if you can't make a solid conclusion, why buy?

G
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
Yeah ok there is a on/off switch in the app. So what? What can it do? I think it only keeps the GPS on when the screen is off an you are in google maps. This is useful to avoid posts such as this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932724

I certainly won't pay for this app without knowing what it does. This is trap, don't buy it. If it worked the trick would be well known and it would be free.

An other placebo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
Once again, it does not keep gps on.

Otherwise, my battery would drain fast az.

Never had that problem so gps isn't on all the time.

try the app will ya?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
I installed the lite version. No change. Uninstall. Thanks for loosing my time with yet an other baseless GPS fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gfacer:
Tried it.

I tried it too. I near as I could tell I had horrible GPS without and still horrible GPS with. Never did get a fix even when it saw 6-8 sats... I then went and changed to cold start on the gps application settings and all was OK for the moment(*#3214789650#).

I just re downloaded and tryed again - back to no sats/no fix (though I am inside now). Well uninstalled again and still no sats/no fix so lets just say inconclusive so far and I think my 3 starts are up...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
Had the galaxy for 5 months now and found the gps to be ok. Been flashing many customs over the last months and only recently I noticed that I am not able to get a gps fix in a car while moving. Anway dowloade the app last week, backed it up with titanium then deleted it after an hour or so of testing at home indoors and out. So, yesterday while heading on a fishing trip with friends I thought of giving the gps a test. 1 full hour later and not one gps fix using navigon or maps, I reinstalled gps booster and got a fix in 5 second. Won't be deleting it again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phalanger:
Nobody is trying to force you to buy anything, but you have now spent two posts on speculating that all it does is 'keep the GPS on', which is simply not true. That is what the util TrackerBooster does, constantly requesting gps updates. GPS booster does no such thing but seems to do something on the gps configuration level.

How about just not saying anything if you have no idea what youre talking about, instead of writing misinformation with an authorative intonation? And then you even repeat it when someone else corrects you :confused:

On topic: for me this tool definately improves the GPS performance. I don't claim to know exactly how or why it works, but I have done a LOT of gps testing with this device, and emperical data shows a definite improvement over not using the app.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
How can it change the GPS configuration without root access?

I always doubt when someone brings a cure not backed by any science.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
If you look at comments, you can see it's working for a few people.

So it definitely does something.

All we know is that it does NOT keep gps on all the time, and thus it's natural to assume it has to do something with configuration.

Now, I'm not an expert on programming and all, but it seems you are not either.

So let's not argue how it improves gps but rather focus on the results here.

You can contact [octy] on xda, who is the creater of this app and find out exactly how it works. (If he's willing to tell ya)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
Well as I already said it changes nothing for me. I don't beleive those who say that it changes something. Probably that those people don't know how a GPS work and the fact that they don't ask any question is, to me, an other proof that what they say isn't worth much.

Sorry if I offended someone, but there are way too many pseudo GPS fix so that I let a fraudulent guy collecting money for doing nothing. All this lost time is not put toward a solution.

And yes I am a programmer and that's why I ask what the software do before blindly believing in a fix. GPS works well for maybe half of us. With this software, it also appear to work for half of the people. I don't see any statistically meaningful improvement.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Sorry if I offended someone, but there are way too many pseudo GPS fix so that I let a fraudulent guy collecting money for doing nothing. All this lost time is not put toward a solution.

What the app does is to change the GPS pool data nothing else .Normal setting is to the USA pool server so changing to a more local server may give you a better performance on that part of GPS .

Cure a poor GPS unlikely .

Does it change anything yes it changes the system/etc /gps.conf file

Do i use it no as i already manually edit the gps.conf on all builds much as i have done for other phones .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
IT CHANGES the gps pool data to a more local one .

I do not need the app as i already manually edit the gps conf file that the app changes .

i get a fast lock and good gps anyway editing the gps file just gives a slightly better lock time as its now set to my local server which is what the app does .

So i have no need to try it as i already have an edited gps.conf file .

jje
