[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klaus Dieter:
I bought a Malata Zpad in China, because I live here.... It is a tablet with 3G and GPS. Overall it's working out of the box.

3G is only working if the ROM "understands" Chinese. So I did not changed the ROM.

Two major things are not working:

- No Android Market,

- No GPS.

:mad:

For the Market I did the modification of the build.prop as described here in the forums and downloaded the com.android.vending_2.2.6.apk (I also tried other versions with the same result).

If I start the app for the Android Market, it starts and shows a white screen for 5-10 s then it crashes.

Other users outside of China describe the same problem, but there is no clear solution for that.

It is known that the Market is blocked by the "Great Firewall" in China.

I found a workaround (put in the IP-Address for android.clients.google.com in the Hosts but prior find out "local" IP address from PC via nslookup).

This workaround is not working for me so far, but I am not sure if the software is OK...

Is the "White screen" the blocking from the "Great Firewall" or is that a Software Problem?

Does anyone have an idea for that? :confused:

The GPS don't work. I installed the Google Maps application as well as GPStest. They are trying to get the position but it doesn't work. GPStest tells that the signal is OK but not so strong (yellow). It cannot get the satellite anyway.

The same thing for Goggle Maps. If I use the Goggle maps application and activate local position, it tells me after about 30s that it is unable to get the position for the moment. On the Goggle Navigation app, it tries to find the position for very long time without stop.

The GPS symbol never occur on the tablet.

Navigation is also not working with my SIM card installed, based on network position.

Later I found in the gps.conf file, that there are no parameters in!:confused:

I tryed to edit gps.conf by writing in the Chinese Time-Server. For the other parameters I changed to the default values from Google. This values were written as a comment in the gps.conf itself.

The editing of the gps.conf has not solved the problem nore changed the behavior of the programs.

Does anyone have an idea how to make GPS navigation work on a Android here in China?

So does anyone have the parameters for GPS.conf for China? :rolleyes:

Thank You very much. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giayee:
I am sorry to hear that, According to your words, your tablet pc has not the GPS function.

Make GPS navigation work,you could choose an external 3G model.:D

Hope help you.

Can anyone tell me what font is used on the cognition 3.04 lock screen and if possible how to make it the main font for the phone?
[Desire Android Development] Mark Uhde:
Okay guys, no guarantees here, but I have a Desire with everything working right with the US Cellular ROM on Alltel (including MMS). This is not EXACTLY what I flashed to my phone because I put my MMS fix into it, but this SHOULD work. It may not even boot, since I haven't tested it, so have a backup ready to restore. As usual, I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone, crying kids, lost messages, dead phones, missed work, etc. I'm also NOT intending to violate copyright but instead only to provide a fair use backup service of applications that you have already bought when you bought your phone. Credit to blitz for the ZIP of this ROM that I then further customized. Let me know any successes/failures. This is my first attempt at anything like this, and while I'm about 99% sure it'll work flawlessly, I can't fix it if I don't know that it doesn't :)

This is also a first alpha release. USCC boot screen (though much other USCC junk is gone). Didn't optimize sizes or anything to free up more room. Just deleted APKs for USCC junkware and a few of the outdated Google Apps (so updates could be put on the SD card); and fixed MMS for Alltel (I hope).

With that said, here ya go:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0EIXPL1X

To anyone interested, the one tester I've had so far says MMS does NOT work for him in this ROM, but it does otherwise work. Which is weird, because I was about 99% sure that whatever fixed it is baked into this ROM. But I did mess with other stuff first that may have contributed to fixing MMS. Anyone else on Alltel want to try it?
[Desire Android Development] Mark Uhde:
Okay, in ADDITION to the changes I made in this ROM, you also need to download APN Manager from the market and put the Alltel MMS settings in there, I had done that and it didn't do anything, so I assumed that the changes I made in this ROM were enough. Both are needed it appears. My friend got it working now too.
[Desire Android Development] stormyday:
Alltel now has the Froyo update for the Desire. It is only available in "select markets". I know several people in MI have gone to their store and gotten the update. Their response to my email was "Froyo's supposed to be available for the Alltel build of the HTC Desire as a manual flash via the local stores. The software's not posted online, and there's no OTA option; thus, we have no way to affect the matter remotely and/or from this channel of support."
[Desire Android Development] ihateu3:
This did not work for me :( and Alltel is taking its sweet time rolling out 2.2. I live in Ohio and its still not here yet. The Alltel rep said it may never come since certain states for Alltel went to AT&T while other went Verizon. So far it seems the states where Alltel went AT&T are getting the 2.2 update....

With Exchange 2010 you can wipe the phone yourself using OWA. Maybe with 2007 as well but my company uses 2010.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legato89:
I have CM6 and I have a few issues and questions. First, I recovered by backup with Titanium after I flashed CM6 and Gapps. Before I had almost all of my apps on my SD card and everything worked fine. When I restored, everything was placed on the phone. A few apps weren't even showing up under my downloads in the market app. I then moved everything back to my sd card and apps with shortcuts updated, but widgets and swype are not showing up, even after moving them back to the phone.

How do I get the new version of android market for CM6? I tried downloading an app through the markets site on my computer but it did not download, or get forwarded to my phone, for some reason.

Which kernel should I use to overclock? Ive read a few posts and comments about a few kernels and some apparently cause more bugs and issues.

Thank you.

EDIT: Ive managed to find solutions to most of my issues. The only problem I'm having now is apps not installing from the Market website. Im using CM6 and flashed 2.2.11 of the market app to my phone. Whenever I hit install on the site it claims to download but nothing is reaching my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clos2100:
That happened to me the only solution i found for mine was formating the sd card. First you should try to fix-permissions n then reboot if that dosent work id suggest backing up your sd data on ur comp n formating
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyhassen:
Sorry i know there's posts on app killers being safe or not, just had a question towards it.

i currently have the HTC but soon to upgrade to the HTC Evo, and when i get the Evo i want to do this a safer way.

on my HTC hero ive used Advance App killer, or Estrong Task Manager. but over the 5 months of having this phone. ive noticed a HUGE decrease in speed. before i could open and close apps and it would be semi fast. and now some take 3-4 seconds. ive flashed roms and then go back to original settings. im not downloading any apps really except:

Winamp, Angry Bird, Zenonia, pandora, Battle.net blizz authenticator. and task killer. so my memory isn't being taken up all that much.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cawkblocker:
I'm not trying to start a pro vs con task killer debate, but I've had no reason to use one on my EVO. When I had my Hero I had to use them constantly, but mine was stock unrooted 2.1.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theidlemonk:
it could be how the hero handles froyo...my returns had similar issue after flashing cm 6 for froyo...i may be wrong...technically as far as I know froyo don't need a task killer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyhassen:
ok well thank you for ur input
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyhassen:
i noticed with froyo ive had issues with them more cause it doesnt close them at all. it says it does but reopens everythign the exact same second. like mu music, messaging, email, internet, ect...

but when i went back to stock it just seems my phone lost so much speed. takes forever to open anything now
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
There is no reason to kill apps with froyo. Use Autostarts to prevent crap from starting and let Android do its thing. If you think your phone is running sluggish, do a hot reboot instead of killing apps. If you want to use a task manager, SystemPanel is the only one I recommend, and not for its app killing. It has a lot of other features to help you diagnose issues and keep track of what apps are doing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyhassen:
awesome, thank you again metalhead.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sab3r One:
As long as you use a froyo rom, it handles task killing all by itself. If you insist on using a task killer, try Autokiller from the market. Its not a traditional task killer, it lets you tweak the task killing to certain degrees. Give it a shot.

I flashed the EB01 froyo Rom was asked to update camera went to the last option and it was downloading but I must have hit the screen or something cause it stopped and now when i try to open up the camera it always says camera failed is there a way to update it or am i just screwed :( ive tried reflashing the EB01 Rom i may try to go to DL09 and the go back to froyo.

Ne ideas?
[Fascinate General] piperat:
Try reflashing dl30. Then next time download update for camera. I had to do the same thing.

From my super clean dl30 fascinate
[Fascinate General] minimeat:
Nope didn't work is there a file in system/apps i need to get or something?

i hope i didn't bork the camera :( it wont give me the option to update it just says camera failed

Edit: Also tried restoring a backup with CWM and still won't work :(
[Fascinate General] iTz Nicholas72:
Odin???
[Fascinate General] Arixsin:
I was under the impression that it is firmware. Firmware gets programmed into chips, in this case, the camera chip. This sounds like what would happen if you turned your computer off during a BIOS flash. Sounds like the write started, but never finished. I would say that it is toast. My 2 cents.
[Fascinate General] minimeat:
So theres probably no hope then. wonder if theres ne thing i can get to fix it i tried going to dl09 but that didnt help either what about unrooting and going to dl09 stock ?
[Fascinate General] AlgorithmX:
I'm not responsible if this bricks your phone because I havent tested it but...

If you create a new shortcut -> activities -> camera firmware. One of the activities listed may allow you to reflash your camera.
[Fascinate General] minimeat:
Solved :)

heres how I did it incase this happens to ne 1 else

access secret menu then get code for camera and do cam to phone fw

and that fixed it

how did you access the secret menu?
[Android Software Development] svertm:
I could use some help with an app I'm working on. I need to know how to control the views and work with which things are in focus. I also want it to work even while in the background so using a handler or something else is knowledge I could use help with. I've been sifting through the javadoc and multiple other forums and am pretty much stuck. Anyone with decent knowledge that would be willing to help me out should message me. Thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] Dsbtwins:
First I would move this to the Android dev forum :)

Android uses Intents to display and run processes. Activities are Intents (views)that you can actually see on the screen and Services are Intents that can be run in the background.

Starting on the Android dev site is really the best place to find the answers to the problems.

That and using the Android examples that come with the SDK. Good luck and I hope you were talking about Android! XD
[Android Software Development] svertm:
I was talking about android :) so here's what i'm trying to do. I want to take in trackball movements and pretty much make it so they don't affect my program or others. I'm not sure how to make it so that requestFocus() will take whatever view is currently on the screen, capture it, and pretty much revert right back to it if the trackball is used. I've tried a lot of different things, but I have been stuck on this forever. Anyone know how to accomplish this because for the most part I think that the trackball is not documented all that well. Any suggestions would be great!
[Android Software Development] Dsbtwins:
I would look at the http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/ui-events.html , onTrackballEvent(MotionEvent) . You should be able to override that in your service, and just process the motion however you want and not call super.onTrackballEvent();
[Android Software Development] svertm:
The problem is that although onTrackBall does captures events, it does not capture all of them. In the docs it says that the method will handle all events not already handled by a view. So I guess my question overall is how do you do just that? Take in every trackball movement no matter what view is reading it? Whether it be another app or anything else. How would I capture the remaining movements?
[Android Software Development] svertm:
So after a bit more research here's what I've come up with for what I need to do. Either access the event queue or make it so any time the trackball is used, whether on the homescreen or something else, my application will be able to take these events and manipulate then as i need to. So anyone willing to help with this? I figure I need to make a thread, but how do I get it to read in other applications readings? Is this even possible?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draikz:

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve_77:
OK... so have 2 questions... just rooted and installed CyanogenMod-6 (looks pretty slick... best thing i did so far...) but seeing how cool this ROM was - and the availability of other 2.2 roms I was wondering is there some comparison chart showing the differences of all the froyo builds... and how they 'stack-up' etc...?? I know 2.3 (CM7) is avail but assume it isnt ready for prime-time yet as even with the CM6 build I was having a few issues taking pictures with the camera (froze).

second question:

Also being root with CM6 is there a way to remove the F#c%book, twatter, and other built in apps i dont plan on using? Is there a special procedure for this? (standard removal method does not seem to work).
