Hi men,

I'd like to create a custom map with GMaps from a client APP with GPS localization.

So this app take Latitude & Longitude, and here no problems, but I'd like to send these informations to create a custom map where every query is a PlaceMark in that MAP (yes, it must maintain saved every query).

The question is, what's the better solution that I can use ?

I seem to be having problems tethering my A101 to my HTC Touch HD.

Bluetooth seems hit and miss. Any suggestions on correct procedure.

I also have a little app on my phone for establishing it as a wifi router. The app is wmwifirouter. While my lap top see's it fine the A101 just doesnt see it. Anyone managed to ge their A101 to tether to a wifi type connection their WM phone?
[Gen8 General] airnike:
i'm having problem with it as well ... the A101 to my SE x10i ... the bluetooth can "see" the mobile but when it cannot pair ... this is plain stupid!!

i've tried to contact the Archos Support but no solutions as yet.
[Gen8 General] sprocket87:
I tether my HTC Evo to my Archos 70 IT with zero issues. My Evo is rooted and I run the "Wireless Tether" app in the market (their website). It starts an ad-hoc WiFi access point that the tablet can connect to. I've never had any issues. The app supposedly works over bluetooth as well but I've never tried it.
[Gen8 General] mars0124:
I'm in the exact same boat as you airnike, except the issue is tether to my BlackBerry Bold 9780. I found a thread (listed below) that seems to offer me the possibility of getting my connection up and running - since it seems that it was a problem in the Archos firmware in the first place, maybe you can solve it by following the thread.

Because I am so new I cannot just post the URL, so here it is in a conveluted fashion.

Stock Archos devices don't support ad-hoc networking, only infrastructure. Wireless Tether from the market supports ad-hoc and infrastructure mode. Some phones support infrastructure mode and some do not. If your phone does, you are lucky and it may work. There is a list of supported devices on the Wireless Tether website. There are also several threads on here about tethering and ad-hoc networking.
[Gen8 General] ray1234:
Tethering Blackberry is another problem, I think I read somewhere it was resolved now, but you need to type in a script in terminal.

Tethering Windows Mobile should be very easy. I always tether bluetooth from my Samsung i8000 to my 101. I never used wifi though as I reckon bluetooth is more battery friendly and speed is acceptable. What exactly is your tethering problem? what do you mean hit or miss? I've been consistently able to tether via bluetooth on my WM phone.
[Gen8 General] utho:
I have had some trouble tethering my Touch HD to my "101" as well - but finally this seems solved.

After pairing both devices, I found that I need to activate Bluetooth on both, then establish internet connection on the "HD" - and

after that

my "101" will tether fine.

The only strange thing I am a little unhappy with, is the fact that the tethering seems to break down when I turn off the screen of the mobile. When it switches off by itself, the connection appears to be stable.

Open Market and type in Screen Off and Lock, download it and set it up as old tv style lock, but the problem is that if you press the power button, the phone will close normally, you have to press the screen off and lock button to make it show the off animation. Is it possible if it could be implemented for the power button on the epic?

The difference is that this has nothing to do with modifying the framework for the screen on/off animation but rather mapping an app to work with the power button.

[Droid 2 General] atothec:
Hello. I hate to even make the post, but I do so love XDA-developers, and maybe somebody can help me out.

I managed to dunk the phone, lets not discuss how, in some pond water. I scoured the int3rwebz for solutions and seemed best advice was to dry with desiccant and a suggestion of an alcohol wash or use of electrical contact cleaner.

The phone was on when dropped, off when recovered. Water damage indicator on the phone was tripped, but the battery still shows red x's. Waited the requisite amount of days and the phone works! everything works.

Now the problem- I get a bit worried about the left over pond scum and I decide I'd be the mad scientist to use electrical contact cleaner on it. Sprayed the suspect areas and immediately blew out the phone with compressed air, let it sit a few nights in desiccant. Now I have some small bubbles in the screen( which was NOT sprayed...) . FML. figure they may be trapped cleaner and eventually evaporate. Not a huge deal, just a bit annoying.

THEN I realize my vibration now does not work. I attribute this to either the water or contact cleaner.

I am now one of a million posting "PHONE GOT WET HALP!!!" and I apologize for such a newbie post, but is there any hope for the vibration to begin working again magically?

Haptic feedback is a fairly big part of this phones operation, and I use silent mode at work with vibration.

If I am screwed on the vibration I have another newbie question:

Can you set different ring tones or sms tones to certain contacts? I have had phones that do this in the past but I cant seem to find anything on this one. I am using the newest version of fission at the moment- 2.6.1.

THANKS for any help/ useful information!

-Andrew
[Droid 2 General] -Gilgamesh-:
If you look in the battery compartment, I think in the lower left, you can actually see the vibration motor. I would check and make sure that nothing is blocking it. However, I would venture to say that being that it is the only (powered) moving part and being it being so exposed, I would imagine that it would be the most likely to get short circuited or otherwise damaged by the water.
[Droid 2 General] Kent_Davis:
Concur

I would concur that it was probably short circuited. Do you have insurance?
[Droid 2 General] atothec:
I agree. I absolutely did not purchase insurance. Live and learn. That's why I don't mind using it as is.

On to the second question- any way to select varying tones for different contacts in phone ringer/ sms tones? Would I just find something on the market for this? again using fission ROM.

Can you change the green missed call/ sms received LED?

I should have left the phone as it was after drying and not gotten paranoid about the "left over pond scum mineral residue" Oh well.. again live and learn.

Thanks again for the replies.

-Andrew
[Droid 2 General] -Gilgamesh-:
Open the contact that you wanna change, hit menu and select "options" and it's obvious from there. ;) As for the LED, try an app called Missed Call.

Sorry I missed those to begin with. :)
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
First off, this isn't really a newb post. Not once have I seen "is there any to trick Verizon into sending me a new phone blah blah blah"

Second, I think you got really lucky here especially for the phone having been on, and ESPECIALLY that the battery didn't get wet or damaged. For what happened, the vibration being gone is pretty minor damage.
[Droid 2 General] atothec:
I agree. I guess mad at myself because it was ok before the contact cleaner (d'oh). Oh well, maybe it will reduce some corrosion.

And thank you -Gilgamesh- Don't know how I missed that. I'll try that app as well.
[Droid 2 General] -Gilgamesh-:
I have a hard time contact cleaner as being the culprit. If it damaged electronics, then it would kind of defy the whole point? Not trying to argue, just seems like it would be the least likely thing to do it. Was it powdery or foamy or something? Maybe it clogged up mechanism, maybe try poking at it with a quetip or something to dislodge it? Or maybe the air pressure pushed some moisture further inside where it could do some damage? Either way, guess I'll make sure to stay away from using it myself anyway. >.<
[Droid 2 General] atothec:
WELL.. the electrical cleaner in question does say to re-lubricate any movable parts as the cleaner will most likely dissolve oil/lubrication. My guess is that this vibration motor was lubricated if only in a small way.

I agree, unless the phone was submerged in something KNOWN caustic or corrosive, then I would just dry it, and be done with it. (I do also have the new screen bubbles/ dead pixels after the cleaner too.) I read the stories of people submerging in high grade alcohol after the water based dunk so I thought what the heck and the mentioned area in the lower left- looked like a board to me- was sprayed (of course with battery out). I tested the stuff on paper and it was dry within seconds just from air. I sprayed the phone out with compressed air afterward and another few nights in industrial strength desiccant.

So now I'm wondering if I spray some lube (WD-40 just a drop?) into this area in the lower left (Vibration motor?) of course with battery out and adequate dry time?

Thanks for staying with me. I installed a few LED applications and now at least know how to set different ring tones for different contacts.

Of course I'm ecstatic that the display even works after the submersion. I was already pricing 6-700 phones and even thought of...dare I say it... downgrading.

-Andrew
[Droid 2 General] -Gilgamesh-:
I really wouldn't. WD-40 is high pressure, thus when the tiniest little squirt would prob end up coating most of the inside of the phone. With the battery out I doubt it would cause any shorts, but it may still cause via corrosion because of the chemicals. IF I were to use any type of lube on it, I'd use something made for moving parts, such as the little thing of oil/lubricant you get with a hair trimmers. That way you can easily just put a small drop. That being said, I have no idea what effect using such a product might cause. May fix it, or could permanently damage the phone. Never really tried anything like that.
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Personally I would just cut my loses now. There isn't very much damage, and you don't know how much more damaged could be caused by doing something like this. Just my opinion.
[Droid 2 General] atothec:
Yeah probably best to leave well enough alone at this point. Working screen for the most part, everything else working, just a dead vibration mechanism.

Lesson to be learned for anyone searching- if you have no real reason to beleive the device will be corroded by the substance the device was submerged in... JUST DRY IT WITH DESICCANT! Like I said mine was on and streaming music when dropped, completely off when recovered. I thought it was shorted out for sure, or at least would have tripped some kind of fuse only to be known by verizon/ motorolla techs to be cheaply replaced for refurbished units.

Anyway... just glad to still have a working device. Now to live this down as the GF got a $0.01 droid 2 at the same time as i did, but hers works perfectly fine (I smell a sabotage in the near future.....)

-Andrew
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
HAHA good luck with that.
[Droid 2 General] botnryan:
cant help you on the vibration part but for the contacts, try going to the contact hitting menu button-->options-->ringtone

edit: i was beat to it, my internet was slow to load and saw no other posts but he OP lol.
[Droid 2 General] atothec:
HA! Decided that id add a drop of wd-40 to the vibration motor. After re-reading gilgamesh's post here I remembered seeing a turbine like piece of metal spinning with the compressed air. I was thinking the very lower left where the main board is exposed, but this is pretty much to the left of the middle of the battery. You can see a white motor with gears on the output shaft and the "spinning metal fan blade...thingy"

so, I pull my battery and.... blue silica desiccant ball! Dunno how I missed it. Removed it with a pencil, battery back in, fire it up, success!

So now I just have what im guessing is some left over cleaner under the plastic screen, but it could actually be lcd damage. Ill just have to see if it ever evaporates.

Still in the running for luckiest unlucky droid 2 user 2011!

thanks again guys,

-andrew
[Droid 2 General] atothec:
Oops- double posted. Anyway moral of the story is use desiccant, but block all passages (I used cotton on the audio jack and port at lower left that goes to mainboard, but forgot the vibration motor.) And don't get any cleaner anywhere near the screen as it seems to have messed up my lcd a bit.

Also- if your vibrate stops working make sure that metal fan spins freely when you blow on it/ use compressed air.

[Droid 2 General] -Gilgamesh-:

Damn you're one lucky mofo...for being unlucky that is...

Sent from my Evo "Z" unit on xda app.
[Droid 2 General] -Gilgamesh-:
Actually, I would say the opposite. One of the luckiest. Dropped it in a pond and came out working perfectly, in the end.
[Droid 2 General] atothec:
I do indeed feel very lucky.

I have attached some pics that are somewhat interesting. The only "damage" sustained is the residue from the cleaner I used. It does specifically say on the bottle "Product may collect and pool in unseen areas".

What I have attached is pictures of the "bubbles". The one with the top half of the screen and Motorola logo looks like an oily mess in the right light, but absolutely does not show up when the screen is on. The one with the red box (Nike swish shaped) is the same way, but looks more "cloudy" for lack of a better word.

The one with the full phone and white spots is really interesting to me. These are the spots that show up and almost resemble dead pixels, yet they don't show up in dark colors and when you have a white background they pop/ show up vividly like dead pixels. you can scroll from a white area to say, blue, and the blue is just slightly lighter. HOWEVER, the spots in this picture were invisible at the time, and the screen was off, but the camera still picked up on them from the flash. This to me is evidence that these "spots" are not from dead pixels or LCD damage, but rather liquid reflecting light.

Anyway, just my theory. sorry to go on about this, maybe someone can find something useful. I attempted to remove the Torx screws on the back of the display in the hopes it would provide some access to air out/ evaporate these "spots", and blasted it with some pretty heavy (DRY PRO FILTERED) compressed shop air (uncle paints cars), but no luck.

I found a guide to replace the LCD screen (http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-Motorola-Droid-2-Front-Panel/3506/11) and it includes removal of the front cover, but it is step number 32. that's THIRTY TWO. I think I'm good with a few spots on the screen now, and hope they evaporate eventually...

Thanks again for the help and replies. used XDA for years and never had to post because the info is all here.

[General Questions and Answers] ironlood:
Im trying to find a theme that is efficient and uses low power. I read that there are certain pixel colors that use less energy then other colors.

As an example it uses more energy to produce white pixels then it does to produce black pixels.

I have a SGS vibrant and im trying to determine a good theme that uses low energy ... like black froyo but I want to know if there are other colors that are better in color use then all black.
[General Questions and Answers] sgtGarcia[PL]:
Each pixel is represented by 3 subpixels. Each one is 8bit number. The lower the numbers of each subpixel, the lower power used to display pixel and darker colour (You can check it in gimp or photoshop ). But be aware that darker colours won't give You noticeable power savings. More You can achieve by reducing brightness.
[General Questions and Answers] ironlood:
I know that its not going to be a noticible change in power consumption but anything helps when you use your phone in excess of heavily.

I was also reading an article (I think it was done by google) about subpixels. They were cutting out or shutting off specific ranges. Since each pixel has an RGB subpixel structure they would run a power test that eliminated the B from the RGB so only RG showed. Or if the subpixels value was above a certain amount to "Kill It".

Do.you know if there's any app's that allow you to reproduce this subpixel killing?
[General Questions and Answers] sgtGarcia[PL]:
Seriously, I don't even think if I read something 'bout it.

PS. : I've checked Your phone & it got amoled screen type ( I didn't check earlier ) , that means that using darker scheme/theme will probably give You bit more than slightly improvement with battery life.
[General Questions and Answers] ironlood:
Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] onefang:
With LCD screens how ever, I don't think you would get any power savings at all. OLED screens use very tiny amounts of power. I'd like to see if you can get any measurable improvement.
