I apologise from the start this question has possible been asked and answered before but....

I recently bought a second hand Xda IIi it has Tom Tom 5 on it but when I flash Tom Tom up the PDA comes up with 'No GPS device' OK so I stood there for ages waiting for a satellite to no avail so I contacted the guy I bought the PDA from.

He said he had never used the GPS function but he would ask someone about it.

He came back yesterday and said :

"With regards to the PDA and TOM TOM, you need to get a Bluetooth GPS receiver and sync this with the PDA for TOM TOM to work."

What does all that mean?

Does this mean this device is incapable of GPS without some other device?

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] muckelmaus:
HTC Alpine/ XDA 2i/ or oll its clones hasn't got a build in GPS receiver!!!

You have to buy one (SIRF III recommended) and couple it with your device.

Works fine, use the search button , it's all in here. Nice to see you!
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] scrumpyjack:
Thanks for the help. I guessed that may have been the case.

Damn more expense! So albeit you recommend a GPS receiver will any GPS receiver do?

Fred
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] muckelmaus:
Yes, every BT-GPS receiver should work. The one I would prefer is faster than other. Sometimes there are devices that have got TMC too, but your software must support that too.(eg. IGo8) On further help, feel free to PM.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] neugroove:
Alright, so I have posted on this before, and thought I had it solved... WRONG! So the problem is anytime I go to use data without wifi, it'll reset the phone for some reason. Already tried every radio, and that didn't do it. I've tried 3 different SD cards, even without cards. So if I never setup a data connection the phone works great. As soon as I setup that connection it just starts rebooting. VERY annoying! Especially when trying to show it off lol.

Can anyone chime in on this? Is this normal?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
very odd, actually, i would have said nope never heard of it up until 3 min ago when i downloaded a program from the marketplace, left my screen on and didnt touch it and zap, of it went, up to then ive never had an issue at all, i hope it doesnt persist. I think its unlikely an SD issue, but it could be, if you can always reproduce the issue then its likely a system bug, if its random then its more likely to be memory/SD issues.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dalabepa:
Hi guys i had the same issue on my TMOUS device and i still have it... but its only when i use my 16gb san disk memory card :(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
So that is SD card issues for yourself then,

intrestingly ive worked out that if i fill up my card a couple of hundred MB more i dont have the issue, take the files off again and it has problems, So ive run it through some tests and there is nothing wrong with it, i can only assume that for one reason or another the OS does not like a particular portion of the card...even though i cant find any issues with it, all i can assume is that there is some performance issue in that sector, not enough to create errors on the PC but below what WP is needing.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] neugroove:
Wow that's strange... And yes, I can replicate the same situation consistently. It's always Data for some reason. I just can't tell if it's upload or down :confused:

Ok one thing I do notice... It will reboot MUCH easier with specific radios. Others will last much longer before they reboot.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
try dumping a few 100MB of music on, if its anything like mine it may be enough to get it working,

To be honest there is so many different stories on here with various issues, including one from myself i dont think there can be a single answer, if a different radio works better than thats one step, try filling more of your SD that another step, keep building it up until you get somewhere, dont think there is much more i can suggest im afraid, sorry!

[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
Pick my music folder on my SDcard without any probrems. Will research the FC's on music search. Don't know about 1x4 widget but will look into it. Thanks for the feedback.
[Epic 4G Themes] eslogic:
no thank you man, you do amazing work, i always end up using your themes when i decide to change looks =]. also. i found the issue. its the sisoDRMProvider.apk that was causing the issue... i restored the .apk and its working fine.
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
Glad you found what the problem. I would like to remove the DRM, but you said it will cause other related problems like this. Also if removed you can not set songs as ringtones

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] BillTheCat:
Looking for an ebook reader that supports highlighting and bookmarking of that highlighted text so that I can go back to review it later. If it works with flat files (ASCII), all the better. For example, I have some legal briefs which I want to be able to read, highlight and go back to later. Anyone have some suggestions?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Daisimae:
If your documents are .pdfs you can use any tablet or reader running Android 2.0 or above with the Repligo Reader app. It lets you highlight, underline and annotate .pdfs. The app is $5. It's the best money I've spent after getting my eLocity A7.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] kinsago:
Not sure if it meets your needs, but I know that Kindle for Android allows you to annotate, highlight and lookup words. I would probably mean converting your texts (which can be done with freeware) though. Maybe worth a look?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 201102:
Go gentle on this newbie-droid -

What are the reasons for giving up the warranty on my Nexus S and install CyanogenMod?

Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
Short answer - it's awesome and it has a lot more options and features than stock.

Long answer -

1st, I wouldn't be too concerned about voiding warranty. Depending on how you root, "unrooting" will be easy as pie. If you have a problem with the phone, flash back to stock, lock the bootloader, and no one will know the wiser.

2nd - A lot of people are kinda under the impression that CM on the SNS may not be necessary because their though is that since the SNS is "vanilla" already, there's no point.

On devices that aren't vanilla already the jump to CM is much more dramatic, for sure. On the SNS the differences are more like subtle enhancements that really make the device more customizable.

You can change the lockscreen; you can add widgets to the notification bar to control things like wifi, BT, etc; you have many more options in Browser (remove those zoom controls) and Messaging (dark theme FTW); you have album art and music controls on the lock screen; you can choose a "render effect" to make the display use less battery; you can set up gestures for lockscreen shortcuts and messaging; the list goes on and on.

Once you get used the the features of CM it will be horribly painful to have to go back to stock for any reason. You may not notice them at first, but dig deep and play around with them and you'll see what all the fuss is about. Definately worth it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo23019:
CM7 runs faster and smoother and allot snappier than stock.

Pretty much what fchipm said

BTW you wont void your warranty rooting and installing 3rd party ROMS...you can unroot and re-lock the bootloader.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
You should give it a try. I've never had any issues with core apps throughout all of CM7s nightlies. RC1 extremely stable, IMO enough to be a stable release. There's nothing to lose because you could always return to stock and not void warranty. CM7 is superior to stock in all aspects. Speed, sound, display, battery, themes, Widgets and many other features. For example, one of the reasons I find myself going back to CM7 is for the notification bar toggles. The kernels available should you decide to root are also amazing. Voodoo sound provides superior audio clarity, and voodoo color fixes any maroon grey tint you might experience. Couple this with CM7, and it'll leave you smiling.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
actually yes
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Google's own blog specifically says they made the Nexus S easy to root and install custom roms on; I sincerely doubt that installing a custom rom would void your warranty in 99% of situations, despite that warning on the fastboot oem unlock command. (Example, if you get a dead pixel, that's nothing to do with a custom rom and your warranty should still be effective.)

Of interest is that the oem unlock is NOT necessary to root the phone, or flash custom roms, and that the oem unlock is the only place you get a "you'll void your warranty" screen. I would argue that if you skip the oem unlock you've not voided your warranty because you didn't see the warning, and you never acknowledged it.

I got a 32Gb MicroSDHC class-10 memorette card.

I verified the speed with a card reader + h2testw that write speed is : 14.7MByte/sec

read speed: 17.5MByte/sec

But when I used the class10 card in tmobile HD2, I am shocked.

When I copy a 720MB movie the write speed is about 4MByte/sec.

h2testw program when used on hd2 connected to PC, showed write speed as 4.8 MByte/sec only.

It needs to be noted the same card when tested with h2testw and a card reader gave 14MByte/sec but gives less than 4.5MB/sec on HD2.

How to fix this problem of HD2 microsd card speed!

Looks like HD2 usb controller has some problem.

the card is indeed class-10.

Please let me know a solution to this problem on HD2.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
The HD2 doesn't read or write to sd cards at that high of speed... that's why it's pointless using class 6 or 10 cards in a HD2. I think most phones are like that. Class 6 and 10 cards are mainly used for digital cameras, where having high sequential write speeds matters.
[HD2 General] downbc1:
I have earlier used a nokia 5800 xpressmusic phone with a class 6 16GB card.

The data transfer speeds were higher than HD2.

Generalizing from a single instance (HD2 scenario) may not be correct.
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
I'm going to go with that the HD2 does not transfer faster than 5.3 MB/sec between the PC and the phone regardless of what the internal transfer rate between the phone and card is.

Using a class 6 card myself, i have noticed that the phone is much more responsive than it was with the class 2 card in there and movies play without stuttering from the class 6 card and applications launch quicker.

my nokia n81 8gb did 8MB/sec from internal 8GB and so did my KM900. The KM900 did 6.2MB from the same classs 6 card
[HD2 General] evereste:
I was under the impression the HD2 maxed at 16 gig. Maybe that's the problem?
[HD2 General] lude219:
Like zarathustrax said, the HD2 isn't capable of read/write any higher than a class 4 card. I think somewhere on the EVO forum there's a fix to unlock the read/write capability for a higher speed but I dunno if anyone here has tried the fix, or if it even works for the HD2 at all.
[HD2 General] buzz killington:
This is not true. I've copied large files at over 10MB/s directly to the phone. I can't vouch for every hd2 though as it's quite possible they have different hardware. Also the speed drops dramatically if you're copying many smaller files.
[HD2 General] morfil:
I am thinking to buy memorette 32 gb microsd class 10 for my HD2.

As far as I have understood:

1) No matther what I cannot use it fully Class 10 speed when connected to HD2

2) When I connect it to my PC with card reader I can fully use class 10 speed.

I have sandial 8 gb class 2. When I connect it to my pc with card reader and transfering large amount of data (150+ MB), it cease to operate. I have to reconnect it. Then I shuld transfer in less amount of data or reduce copy speed (such as UltraCopy) . I think that is a safety issue for preventing disk from get burned. My question is, will I possibly have some issues with memorette or some other class 10 cards?

Also would it not better using class 10 card in HD2 for using on SD installed Operating System instead of class 6 or 4?

I would appriciate if someone return about memorette. I have never heard about that trademark. I am planning to bid on ebay today.
[HD2 General] darkphoinix:
fix to unlock the read/write capability for a higher speed ????? Really ... i have buy a micro sd 16GB class 10 :mad: ........
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
A good quality class 2 or 4 sd card is usually better for running an operating system off of, as lower class cards tend to have faster random access speed and better random read/write speeds. Class 6 and 10 sd cards are designed to have a higher sequential write speed, but to achieve these higher speeds, the card initializes the part of the card that's about to be used. The initialization takes some extra time to get started, but boosts the sequential write/read speed so it's great for digital cameras or writing files sequentially.

But when it comes to using the card to run an OS off of, like android or wp7, or using the card to run apps off of, you are going to be reading and writing many small bits of data from different parts of the card. When it comes to this, you need a card that has a good random access speed and random read/write speeds. A high class card that is tweaked to have high sequential read/write speeds ends up being slower because it keeps initializing each part of the card before accessing it, while the lower class 2 or 4 card that doesn't do the initialization is a lot quicker accessing many small parts of the card because it doesn't have that extra step... but they don't get the speed boosts with sequential read/write.

Many people just assume that a higher class card is always going to be better, but this isn't true at all. It all depends on what you are using the card for. Higher class 6 or 10 cards are perfect for digital cameras, recording video, or transferring large files, etc... if you are going to be doing sequential reading or writing, higher class is better.

But for running apps off of, or running an OS off of, or using it as internal memory for an OS like wp7, or anything that will be accessing many parts of the card quickly or reading many small bits of data, etc., you want a card with a good random access speed and random read/write speeds, and that is something that is not rated on cards... but generally lower class cards are better than higher class cards... especially if you get a good quality brand, like sandisk. Sandisk class 2 and 4 are very good cards for random access speeds.

I hope some of you find this info useful and stop assuming a higher class card means better for all situations.
[HD2 General] apallohadas:
You must be special then. In my tests I had no difference in a class 2 and class 6.
