Looks like mine is a dud. Half an hour outside with clear skies and it wouldn't lock. It bounced back and forth between 1 and 3 satellites with a ~30 rating on GPS Test. My coworker just walked over with his new Atrix and he got 5 sats while indoors. Back it goes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
Exchange it. Mine is rock solid.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jdk2:
Agreed. Take it back. My new one locks instantly with accuracy down to 5m.

The Atrix acquired an amazing signal down to 3m indoors :confused:

Mine is accurate to 1200m with nothing on, narrows to 50m with wifi on, then down to 40m instantly when GPS turned on but not locked (indoors with no windows). Outside GPS locks in seconds.

Hi,

I just got a Motorola Defy and rooted it, as well as removed some apps with titanium backup. I've been getting the message for the 3.6.360 update, and when I download and install it, it stops halfway and I get the screen with the white exclamation point in the yellow triangle. The phone then won't respond, but when I remove my battery I'm able to start it up again normally. I'm not really too familiar with the android os; I'm just starting to experiment with it. I tried unrooting and updating, but the same thing happens. I even tried following post #20 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=931212&page=2 but the recovery app doesn't boot the phone into recovery mode. And powering on while holding the volume down (or up, I forget) doesn't take me to a recovery menu. Can someone please help me? Thank you
[Defy General] S1dew1nder:
make sure usb debugging is off when you try to boot into recovery mode
[Defy General] alphacat:
That seems to have done something, but now it doesn't want to make a ROM backup. I don't think I have clockworksmod installed, but there's no version for the Defy. Is there one that still worksl? The only ones it says is Droid, Droid 2 and a third motorola phone

[Defy General] alphacat:
I've tried it, but it gives me three options for the phone model. I clicked Milestone and it just got the exclamation mark again; Defy isn't there at all. How did you use it?
[Defy General] darule_2011:
I think you are still trying to use the clockwork mod which is not what you want to use...if you are using the one that drops a menu down and shows milestone, droid x and droid 2 as options when you try to backup rom (I think those were the options), they you are using the wrong one. If you use tenfars system recovery app that the previous poster posted with link...you should be good as this app was custom made for the defy.
[Defy General] alphacat:
darule, will that app allow me to flash my firmware to install custom ROMs? I've been looking everywhere for answers but keep hitting dead ends :(

Hey is there anyway to get the HTC_IME stock eris keyboard that is on 2.1 and put it on Kaos Froyo 2.2?

I have used jonasl lowres v22 experimental on every ROM I have tried - 2.1, 2.2, and now 2.3.

The .apk(s) I have been using are Clicker.apk and HTC_IME_lo22.apk. Install Clicker.apk first (iirc that's what the instructions said).

I have v27 as well, so I am sure I tried it at one time or another - there must be some reason why I am not using it, but I can't recall if there was a problem with it or not. I haven't had any troubles with v22 lowres on any ROM I've used it with.

Hi. I recently tried to update my rom to on from the rom kitchen and something didnt work. so after waiting 1.5h on the boot screen i opened clockwork and tried to restore a backup I made right before flashing. The thing is that what ever I do I always end up booting into clockwork again.

I did not disable lagfix prior to first flash and now I cant because it reboots to clockwork.

Anyone have an idea, or solution? Can I install another rom through odin with my ext4 lagfix on?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
in clockwork do a factory reset and also clear cache and so on.

go and flash a stock rom thru odin from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846913 and then start all over again

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simone201:
If you want to return to RFS by default just flash a stock ROM and then do a wipe/factory reset into Recovery 3e.....it should work (it works for me! XD)!;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piratrik:
Should re partition be on in odin?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
only if you have all 3 files, if not dont use pit or re partition. flashing a stock will erase the ext4 and convert back to rfs so dont fret about that.

ideally you would want a 3 file firmware so you can re partition but most firmwares now only come in 1 file, so you may need to dig a little deeper if the 1 file doesnt fix your problem. i've never had to use a 3 file firmware so i couldnt direct you to one sorry.

[Captivate General] SnakeHaveYou:
Mmm.. India's timezone IS +5:30 UTC, so your settings are fine..

I had the same issue a long time ago, but with Captivate's stock ROMs based ROMs.. (Like old Cognitions)..

I fixed it replacing the SMS app, named Mms.apk

It's located at /system/app/Mms.apk

Try this:

-Download the Mms.apk that i've attached

-Conect your phone to your PC with Debug enabled

-Open CMD and:

adb push x:\z\Mms.apk /system/app/Mms.apk

Where x is your drive letter, and z is the location of the Mms.apk you downloaded..

If you have Root Explorer, just copy it to your SDCard, mount system as r/w, remove Mms.apk from /system/app/, and copy the downloaded one to /system/app/

The Mms.apk that i posted is an AOSP one.. I don't have any other, but you can try to download another rom and extract the Mms.apk you want..

Need some advice on that to. Thanks
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
factory reset will clear caches anyway so that was redundant. u will want a trickle charging (SBC) kernel to avoid the 10% drop

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortskoolbus:
i looked around the forums a bit but the search returns too many results not related to what i'm looking for...

So not really sure what this sd-ext is. I've read that it's for apps that are moved to the SD card... But the thing is i'm running CM7 and i've moved apps using Apps2SD as well as directly from within GB itself without ever creating an SD-ext partition.

So whats the purpose of this? Should i create the partition? And does it make a soft link to a directory on my SD card since it seems /sd-ext is in the root folder. If so, if i change my SD card later and transfer all the files over to it, will it break the link?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Your SD card has a fat32 format, which is mostly typical for usb storage devices, computers, etc.

Android runs natively in an ext format environment.

The stock Apps2SD uses the fat32 portion of your SD card, which has limitations, because it isn't Androids native environment. If you format your card so you have an ext partition, you can trick the phone into thinking it's part of it's native environment...

A good example can be seen with widgets, which won't work if you move them to SD, but will work on an ext partition. Other uses include being able to move cache and dalvik...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortskoolbus:
Thanks for the explanation. What happens to all the apps already moved to my sd card now? How do I get them over to sd ext partition?

And right now I only hasn't an eight gb card which I plan to upgrade in the future. Will I be okay just transferring everything over to the new card at that time?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
You will need to be rooted...

You first set up the ext partition. Doing this will format your card, and erase everything. You will then need a script to run the a2ext. Darktremor is the popular one for the Nexus, but I'm not sure about the MT4G...

Once you have an a2ext script, then you just move your apps to internal, since the phone thinks the ext is internal memory.

Titanium backup can help backing up your apps, and also with moving them to internal in a batch...

Read up, because I know little about the mt4g specifics. I've ordered one, but until it arrives, I'm just reading...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortskoolbus:
Thanks. Yup I am rooted and running CM7.

seems to be a bit of a pain to format my sd card..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I must admit, I wouldn't think you would need to?

The mt4g has more rom and ram than my Nexus, so I wouldn't have thought that you would run out of space quickly... Or am I wrong, and space is an issue?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortskoolbus:
No you're right actually. It's not really an issue but not sure why I think I should move the apps to the sd.. Haha
