Solution for GPS problem after launching Android

Hello All.

I am also had trouble with GPS after playing with android :).

If your GPS does not works after launching Andorid, launch Andriod again, go to Settings -> Location, and enable checkbox Use GPS satellites. After that restart phone to Windows Mobile. Maybe you will should made this operation twice.

It helps for me and few other users.

pie_tr0, try theese steps, i think it will help you.
[HD Mini Android Development] pie_tr0:
finally it did work also for me

but there is not just one exact procedure because I did it several times and I was loosing any hope

it is just a matter of lucky
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
Yeah, its the famous "perhaps-bit" that must be set!

Seriously... its not a matter of lucky ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] pie_tr0:
when I say lucky I mean "lucky to get the right procedure" because the real (correct) procedure is not known yet.

gps problem

I've tried all the solutions mentioned but with no success.The "solution" that worked for me is only flashing a stock rom.All things are good now.But us you can understand flashing a rom means a loss to all your data(use pimbackup or any other backup program)

goodnight
[HD Mini Android Development] _Madmatt:
Reading the first page can solve many problems. The main problem is that quite much people don't do this for some reason...
[HD Mini Android Development] spithash:
ok man sorry for that.i read the first page but i couldnt understand.....thanks anyway
[HD Mini Android Development] ledavi:
actually MADMATT meant to say that in the first page you'll find a link with the status of the android developement on MINI and there you'll see that audio workes ok but microfone is not detected wich leads to yours an all of us problem .PATIENCE MY FRIENDS :D (in the end i guess i'll buy an android native phone and i thank COTULLA for opening the road in that direction since i've never used an android device before and i simply love it )
[HD Mini Android Development] spithash:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpharomero:
My G2's screen is broken. I think it may have happened while I was skiing with it in my jacket pocket. I am very confident it's not a moisture issue as the indicator is 100% white and I rice'd it for 48 hours just to be sure. I checked with T-Mobile and HTC, and both have said they will RMA it (limited warranty). However, I want to make sure that they don't say the warranty is void because of physical damage or whatever reason. The phone is in flawless condition other than the screen failure.

Anyone have thoughts? Is one method of RMA preferable to the other?

Here is a pic:

Bueller...?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
your screen is cracked... don't send it in you'll pay like 300+ bucks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1ForFun:
That is physical damage my friend...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpharomero:
So what's the best course of action if I don't send it in?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
Well if u got insurance it will be cheaper to replace it and if you dont ... you could replace it your self which should be only done if you know what your doing and other than that yea... maybe the others have better suggestion
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpharomero:
I do not have insurance, and I already ordered a warranty replacement from T-Mobile. It's still a few days out. I am just now worried that they might try to charge me $300 or whatever for physical damage. Here is my plan:

I will replace the LCD myself and then send back to them a perfectly fine phone (albeit with a replacement LCD), and order a replacement "void" sticker for the one that will inevitably break when I take apart the phone (I am under the impression there is just one). I have become very skilled at iPhone assemblies, do you think those skills will transition nicely to a Desire Z tear down?

Alternatives I have thought of:

- Do a tear down of the phone and just unplug the LCD ribbon cable.

- Just send it back in its current state and hope for the best.

Would appreciate advice, oh knowledgeable citizens of the Internet.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
Ah I see you have knowledge of takeing iPhones apart. I to have some skills with itouch and also my old motorola cliq takeing them apart. Well the only diffrence is with android type phones (most) are a liitle bit harder to open but other than that when u open it you should easily be able to fix or replace the need parts. My only advice is make sure you don't leave any traces of you disassembleing the G2. Wish you best of luck my friend. One more thing don't unplug the LCD screen. When they inspect the device and see that you tempered with it that an automatic void warranty. So when u send it back to the repair center make sure everything looks like the way you got it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WTF?:
I cracked my LCD last week (yours looks as if you cracked the gorilla glass/digitizer from the looks of your pic) either way, it's roughly the same job, I just finished doing it, it was a pain! - lol

I went ahead and replaced the hinge spring while I was in there, the new spring is awesome, I got the 31lb spring from McMaster-Carr!

I couldn't find what I felt was a genuine HTC screen online, so I just bought a broken G2 with a good screen on ebay for $53

you should fix it and replace the spring - I am glad I did mine myself and saved $400 - took a couple of hours since I had to do the ebay parts phone as well.

PS - if you can't disassemble a laptop completely down as far as it will go (complete disassembly of laptop and also screen) and get it back together and have it work perfectly, then you don't want to try this! - Also, if you are sending the repaired phone to HTC, then you will need to get a hair dryer and carefully remove the VOID sticker.

Tools required:

good quality T5 screwdriver (I used a Wiha 267)

good quality phillips #0 screwdriver (I used a Wiha 261)

safe open plastic pry tool (the light blue thing)

Hello all,

I own a GT-I9000 but I bought the Vibrant versions of the Desk Dock and Car Mount because of the unavailability of the Euro SGS models.

In order to make thew 3.5 mm line out jack present in both accesories work I need the Samsung apps developed for Froyo, they are called:

Desk Home Samsung Vibrant 2

Car Home Samsung Vibrant 2

I cannot download them because they are not available for me either because I use the I9000 or because I live outside the US and Canada, could someone fetch the APK's for both apps and post them in this thread?

Thank you very much

Sergio C.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] djordan79:
try to search the forum... im sure there is something about it somewhere
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] scarmona:
Yep... absolutely right, found it already :)

Thanks anyway
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
please upload if you found them.. cannot find v2 of these apps anywhere for download
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] giannibat:
I need it too! Car home for SGS!

PS: Found here.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sgtmedeiros:
Download bloater just search google
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] giannibat:
It's the only way to get the audio line out from car dock working. I'm wondering why they could sell it outside supported country. No audio line out before installing this apk.
[HD2 General] accilies45:
I just got a brand new HTC HD2 (had for about a 2 weeks) and no one seems to have a unlock code for it. I have tried htcimeiunlock.com and unlocking.com and both fail to find a code (got refunded though). Contacted t mobile about a week ago and they said the code would take up to 48 hours. Its been way pass that. So my question is, how long would i have to wait for htcimeiunlock.com or unlocking.com to refresh their codes? Any other solutions other than wait?
[HD2 General] Genesis3:
T-Mobile took over a week to get mine. They did come through with it though.
[HD2 General] accilies45:
Was your hd2 new?
[HD2 General] Genesis3:
Yes, but T-Mobile doesn't care so long as you are a T-Mobile contract customer. My contract at the time I asked had lapsed but my understanding is that so long as you're a post-paid customer in good standing with some sort of tenure they'll give you the code for a device you actually own, provided they distributed it.

They said they had to go to HTC for the code and could not generate it themself.
[Nook Color General] bluewhite79:
i've created an image on my 2 GB mSD card and when i view the drive on my laptop it states that i have 31.2 MB FREE out of 39 megs. Clearly, that cannot be correct!?

i used win32diskimager. What the heck happened?
[Nook Color General] BrianDigital:
What rom are u using, when making the boot disc it will appear Much smaller.
[Nook Color General] bluewhite79:
i have the NC running on 1.1 update.

created a disk image of AN 3.0.0 with win32diskimager.

some are saying its supposed to be about 124 megs?
[Nook Color General] BrianDigital:
Yeah you SD card is fine for lack of less knowledge your card will appear to be smaller for what ever reason and u just plug it in and turn on the nook
[Nook Color General] bluewhite79:
i just didn't think 8 mb total seemed correct for the autonooter.

I know i can format the card once done to get back to 2 gigs, but just wasn't sure if the image is supposed to be approx 8 megs or what...

thanks
[Nook Color General] bluewhite79:
how important is the class of SD card?

mine has NO label on it. clicking properties reveals little.
[Nook Color General] cshehan:
The drive will appear to be whatever size the disk image is. This just means there is a single partition on the drive of that size. Once you're done running it just format the drive back to normal size.
[Nook Color General] migrax:
Some will tell you not to format SDCards from within rooted NC. However I found that unmounting and formatting from settings fixes this post haste.

Ever wanted to play the radio through the loudspeaker or delete the original player and have the application of the FM radio and music player separate? Well, here I leave the FM radio apk motorola milestrone 2 which is functioning in the FlipOut PERFECTLY.

You can install it as a normal or leave apk system / apps and give the permissions as if it were an application of the original system, I hope you enjoy

PS: Sorry for my bad English
[Flipout and Charm Themes and Apps] Schallstoerer:
don´t work with my flipout..it wants to stick the headset in...normaly the handy uses the headset as an antenna.
[Flipout and Charm Themes and Apps] JJJSSSLLL:
no this program have the funcion to play the radio for the speaker but the headsets connected to the phone

Sorry for my bad English
[Flipout and Charm Themes and Apps] Schallstoerer:
no sry necessary...you didnt wrote anything using without antenna! so it was my mistake..
[Flipout and Charm Themes and Apps] Billis69:
I don't know if others have the same problem but on my Flipout the station presets don't work as they should. I can save a radio station on a preset position and directly after that I get an error message. The preset list on the right displays the just saved radio station but as soon as I try to choose any preset station I always get an error message. So I have to switch between different radio stations only by using the frequency display or the arrow buttons.

Any ideas if this can be solved? Thanks.
[Flipout and Charm Themes and Apps] headhod:
Great!!!!!!!! thx
[Flipout and Charm Themes and Apps] bagers:
Very nice! Thank you very much!

I had no hope for a radio app as I read that the fm features are closed source and for this reason it is not possible (or very hard) to program a radio app. But to take one from another phone from motorola is ridiculous.

This app is better then the stock one.

Unfortunately it is also not compatible with Headset Button Controller. (an app to adjust the volume, next song etc. for one-button-headsets.) So changing volume/sender is still uncomfortable.
[Flipout and Charm Themes and Apps] ppgirl:
You can try the app - FM Radio Speaker is an easy-to-use tool that can turn on the speaker to play when the headphones are inserted.

[Vibrant General] CharlieBoy808:
I ask this question as a current Vibrant owner from the day it came out. I have seen all that Samsung has done with its first line of Galaxy S phones and so I'm not sure if all the new technology is going to be worth the upcoming headaches. Its easier to get a working ROM from the community rather than deal with official Samsung updates.

If you feel the same way I do, do you feel like the Vibrant is the last Samsung device you'll ever buy?

I'm just curious and it might help me make a decision on buying any upcoming devices from Samsung. Also since I've learned that the new Sidekick is going to be a Samsung device, I'm already depressed about that one.
[Vibrant General] ferhanmm:
I will definitely be upgrading if possible. I love the vibrant, but I'm not sure if it will ever see 2.4. I remember reading somewhere that 2.4 will utilize hardware acceleration for the ui, I'm really looking forward to that.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
This will be my next phone love the phone............:cool::):D
[Vibrant General] oDeACoNo:
I'm currently trying to decide if I am going to upgrade to it or hold off for something else. I think it just depends on what else comes out at MWC and when the release date will be on the S II.

It's between this and HDdesire2 similar specs HTC doesn't seem to have a ffc.

http://galaxys2.samsungmobile.com/html/specification.html

I bought the galaxy s cause it had the most powerful cpu in the bunch + screen. The s2 = better screen + 1gb ram + dual core processor that's better than the hummingbird and the mali400 gpu is way better than current sgx540. Overall, it'll be the most powerful device in terms of hardware, i'll find some way to afford one!!

But yes, i'm pissed about the updates, wish they'd just release the source for everything and let the community do it if they don't want to.

Sent from my SXY-T959
[Vibrant General] LHBC:
It's not about buying it or not. That's a sure buy for me.

It's about when it'll be available on the T-Mo network. T-Mobile has its own 3G frequency(1700?) making buying a smartphone without this feature(i.e., that's not OEMed for T-Mo) a hard decision.
[Vibrant General] Five0nIt:
Im buying the first HSPA+, 4.3 inch Android phone T-Mo puts out. If this is it then ill be upgrading to this.
[Vibrant General] metroidnemesis13:
I don't know... it is going to be sooooo expensive unless they subsidize it on T-Mo. Right now you can get a decent Vibrant off craigslist for $250 off contract. That's pretty unbeatable. I doubt I'll be getting one of these for at least a year.

Im kind of up in the air...cool comes with 2.3 but 2.3 isn't that great that's why 2.4 is out in couple months to fix what issues 2.3 has and to add features 2.3 should have had if it wasn't rushed.

So who knows when it will get 2.4

If i do decided to get im getting a real galaxy s 2 and not from carrier one thing to wait from Samsung another to wait for tmobile on top of it
[Vibrant General] z0phi3l:
Depends on what HTC has available on T-Mobile, if somehow HTC puts out a competing phone it will be a tossup, but will come down to the screen size and how well SLCD holds up against SAMOLED

[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Getting a Windows Phone. Tired of dealing with manufacturer skins or crippled Nexus phones (i.e. Nexus S).

Also, why do people put up with the high rate at which Android Manufacturers cannibalize their devices.

Vibrant 4G may have good download speeds but who will want it if T-Mobile gets a Galaxy S II Variant - the same way some people are getting Nexus S due to the Vibrant's issues?

That's 4 new phones announced since the Vibrant was released... 6 months or so? And I'm ignoring it's sister phones on the ohter 3 major carriers and phones like the Continuum on Verizon...

It's hard for these non-Nexus devices to keep value when manufacturers are releasing new phones at such breakneck paces, and it makes it hard to commit to purchasing anything, since the chances of a better phone being released so soon is so high.

There's a reason why iPhones and even Windows phones are selling for more on eBay and CL than even high end Android phones...
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Par for the course...

The fanbois are running out of excuses. I wonder if they'll claim Android isn't optimized for Tegra II this time, like they did with the Hummingbird.

The issue was always Samsung's RFS and crappy TouchWiz. Why buy something with TouchWiz on it, and I wouldn't rule out RFS, either...

Also, is it just me or does that phone have some odd choices of pre-loaded applications... Vlingo, for example...

Looks like an iPhone 4, though.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
I really wish they would get rid of the chrome and round out the phone little

like the NS but still looks nice

Tegra 2 guess was a typo its supposed to come with Samsung Exynos

either way 2.3 isn't even optimized for dualcore 2.4 is suppose to be

well, even if samsung released their updates on time, i probably would have stayed with custom roms,

and i feel that the phone itself is top quality, sexy, and just awesome. So i would get the S II if i have the money
[Vibrant General] eunkipark92:
Maybe you didn't get the point. If they don't release the source and update on time there is a limit what devs can do. With source? Devs can make better Rom and kernel.

Don't laugh, but Sammy puts no thought into incorporating more design elements into the back of the phone as does HTC.

If t-mobile gets an international version then I might consider. But this will unlikely to happen, most likely t-mobile will take off some hardware and fool us with a blockbuster movie. Never again with a t-mobile customized phone!
[Vibrant General] DreamcastDC:
Samsung left me with a bad taste with the Galaxy S Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
What are you talking about? No.

It comes with Tegra II. It's no secret that Samsung is using Tegra-II for these devices because of supply issues with their other processors and TBQH that's probably not a bad thing. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 uses a Tegra II SoC as well.

The par for the course was about the laggy performance quite evident in the video. Their software is terrible. Always has been, and always will be.

It was the same on the pre-release Galaxy S phones and people said "it's a pre-release phone." Don't come crying here when you need a lag fix for your awesome GSII.

[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
The Galaxy S II has me very underwhelmed.

I don't want to go back to touchwiz (not after seeing how snappy/quick stock android can be), and if the phone has a larger screen with a battery of the same capacity, then battery life will be even worse on this new phone.

Apple has a lot of issues, but for all their problems they usually go *forward*, not backward in terms of performance on their devices. The iPhone4 battery life puts other smart phone batteries to shame.
