GPS help....maybe

You might want to try logging into HTC SENSE as well as Google MAPS, then do a reboot. Be sure you have all 3 boxes checked under MENU>SETTINGS>LOCATION checked .

HTC SENSE has a location finder as a part of it's interface and HTC-SYNC needs to be installed and checked also as it provides USB drivers when you plug your phone into your computer.

Hopes this helps - Glenn
[HTC Inspire 4G] berdo:
I tried that and still a no go.

If I turn on my GPS, obviously I get a lock within 3 meters or so of my location but if I turn it off I am 22 miles away. And its not like its just somewhere in that town, it is locked within 60 meters of my old house. This makes no sense.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GeneralZ:
open the actual weather app and hit the menu button and see if the city got added manually.
[HTC Inspire 4G] berdo:
Yeah I have done that as well, my city does not show up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
It is pulling your location based on your router and the database is still showing your old residence.
[HTC Inspire 4G] berdo:
Yeah I thought that too. I reset my router back to factory defaults and it didn't help. I even turn off the wireless and rely on cell signal only, still locks me to my old address.

I just drove around town here and as soon as I got away from my house, using only cell service, I locked on to my correct location but when I got home it locked me right back to my old address. Again that is with WiFi and gps off.

So I got a bluetooth apple keyboard and it pairs and I have bluekeyboard. But when I turn on the keyboard as soon as it connects it reboots the NC anyone having this problem?
[Nook Color Accessories] Arbelzapf:
What build are you on? Did you flash the kernel? I had the very same problem and it was solved for me. I'm typing this on my nook with my apple keyboard. Also check the Bluetooth Experience thread.
[Nook Color Accessories] Dragracekid:
i figured it out i flashed the newest kernel and v21 and it works good now although now im having problems with Titanium back up but ill figure it out
[Nook Color Accessories] lschroeder:
One of the overclock kernels can cause this problem. There is a file kernel.zip by verygreen. It will fix the problem. It is located at the link below. I used it myself and now the silver apple bluetooth keyboard works fine. I am running cm7 from an sd card. I shut down my nc. Removed the sd card, install the sd card in an usb adapter on a mac and replaced that file. He has other instructions at the link?

[Windows Phone 7 General] Halle:
When I send a status message to Facebook from People Hub (and untick the Windows Live in People), it still sends the same status update to my Windows Live account and Messenger. Why?:confused:

SOLUTION:

I just remembered that this issue started to happen when I tied my Facebook chat to the new Windows Live Essentials 2011 (Messenger). Since the messenger syncs my Facebook chat (and also my status updates) with my Windows Live Messenger, the only way to solve this issue is to get rid of the connection to Facebook in your Windows Live account. Just tap your name in the Messenger and then tap "Show profile". From there, you can disconnect from Facebook. ;)

Someone else may have the same problem as you, and search the forums for information and a possible answer.

If they're lucky sifting through the thousands of threads and posts they may find this thread you've started and think they've found a gold nugget, only to discover you were too lazy to share your solution :eek:

[Droid X General] malek9696:
I'm pretty sure my Droid X is completely dead. I've been running Liberty 1.5 for a few weeks now with no problem. I hadn't done anything new since flashing Liberty; no flashing, rooting, nothing.

So it came as a huge surprise when I plugged my phone into a charger and everything went black. I can't turn it on, I can't enter recovery, I can't even enter the bootloader. I've tried leaving the phone on the factory charger for a few hours (nothing), I've tried leaving the battery out for a few hours (nothing).

Is my phone a paperweight?:(
[Droid X General] joebob296:
Is the charger defective? Is your battery defective? I.E it is completely dead and wont charge or charger isn't outputting and DC voltage?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Do you know anyone else with a Droid X? Your battery may have just completely died. Try another battery for the X, or even go into a Verizon store and see if they can give you a battery just to confirm if it is a battery issue or not.

The phone "shouldn't" just die if you haven't done anything to it...while there are extreme cases with weird occurances, the phone shouldn't just magically stop working.
[Droid X General] malek9696:
I've been trying several different chargers with no success. I haven't had a chance to try a new battery yet.
[Droid X General] malek9696:
I'll try a different battery when I get a chance.

I was hoping it really didn't just magically die, that would be horrible. But the battery seems like an odd problem since it was at 30% when I plugged it in.
[Droid X General] malek9696:
Well, my phone was dead. I took it to verizon where they tried a brand new battery and it still didn't do anything. The clerk even put my battery in another droid x and it started up fine.

So, on to the next droid x, which hopefully won't magically die on me.
[Droid X General] x.v_:
Sounds like you had some kind of hardware failure, in my opinion. Quite unfortunate. :(
[Droid X General] hammurabi84:
Dear friend,

I obviously have a Droid x also. I've got some good news for you. This happened to me before (although at that time, the phone was not rooted, but I don't think it has anything to do with it) I took the phone to Verizon and what they said is that the battery had completely died. They put a different battery and the phone worked just fine.

Good luck!

It's the man's second post, he was trying to be helpful, and you're already trolling him.

Try something like this instead: "As noted in a post above, Verizon was able to rule out the battery as the cause of the failure. Please try to check if a thread is already resolved, before bumping it again".

[Droid X General] hammurabi84:
@jazzaddict

First of all, like bladebarrier(thanks to him by the way) said, I was just trying to help, because I know how it sucks when you think your phone is bricked. Second, yesterday was my first time using the xda app (I'm new to the site and forums in general), I didn't pay much attention that the question was already answered, although I should have.

I can't find anything wrong with saying "dear friend" or "good luck", it doesn't hurt to be polite or friendly. May be these words fits better in a letter than in a forum, but I'm still learning a new thing everyday because English is not my first language.

With all due respect, you remind me of the majority of people who comment on Yahoo news, they always have an attitude.

Thank you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReubenRene:
Hi guys I was wondering if anyone has some input for my question. I am able to flash a new ROM and when I was flashing a new kernel I then rebooted the system but I noticed that my phone screen was stuck on the "HTC Evo 4G" white screen and never booted to my actual phone screen. Is there any way around this? Should I flash the kernel first then reboot system or flash the ROM first then the kernel? any help would be so appreciated, thank you in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmdunn:
Every now and then, my phone will get stuck after flashing a new kernel. I usually just boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik again ... takes care of it. If I forget and get stuck, simply pull the battery, and volume down/screen on button to get into recovery ... rinse and repeat.

You're doing it correctly ... flash rom and install ... then reboot into recovery and flash the kernel.
[Legend General] KeesKaas:
The issue:

When I load a .zip rom with Clockworkmod v3.0.1.3 it installs succesfully but when I reboot the phone it keeps rebooting at the splash screen with a tremble.

It will only boot to Android when I plug it in the charger or USB port.

Specs: HBOOT 1.00.0000 - S-ON

Please advice!

I have a proper goldcard.

Tried it with 3 different rom's:

- B 0.7 based on stock HTC FroYo (02/01/2011): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJSaZX103-g

- CM 7 | Gingerbread, 01/03 nightly build cm_legend_full-21.zip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXlkBHNmtGw

- [Alpha][12.03.2011] Gingerbread 2.3.2 with HTC Sense 2.1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHoZEp4AjNE

EDIT; problem fixed by repartitioning my sdcard and formatting /boot/
[Legend General] segphault:
Before you flashed each ROM, did you wipe data first?
[Legend General] KeesKaas:
Yes, I wiped the data and I wiped the cache before installing a rom.
[Legend General] segphault:
Could be a number of issues, in that case.

Can you post a logcat of your boot process, please?
[Legend General] MaBlo:
I've had that happen to me, in my case it was a bad partition on my SD card that caused it somehow.
[Legend General] KeesKaas:
I have formatted my SD card as Fat32 and the reapplied CWM and installed a rom. Gives me the same splashscreen reboot-loops.
[Legend General] segphault:
Like I said, go and get a logcat of your boot.
[Legend General] b.rommer:
please post logcat! its my phone, i cant wait!
[Legend General] segphault:
First things first, I can't really derive much from the logcat as it doesn't appear to be a logcat of the boot process. You do know how to get a log of the boot process, right? What I can derive from what you've posted is that you've got permission errors everywhere. You should try the "Fix Permissions" option from inside CWM. Failing that, I recommend you try re-partitioning your SD card. If you're planning on using data2ext, go and get blay0's customised CWM and let that partition your card for you. Otherwise, just straight up blank the partition table on the card and re-format it to FAT32.

Out of interest, which ROM is this logcat parsed from?

[Nook Color General] lanwarrior:
As the subject stated, I have enabled the "Use Wireless Networks" under Location & Security, however, Google Maps and any location-enabled apps still complaint that I need to "...enable My Location...".

Is this not working in the current version of HC or do I need to do something else?

Note that this is for location based on WIFI, not GPS since Nook Color doesn't have a GPS chipset.
[Nook Color General] eventus:
Try enabling GPS if you haven't. I'm not having any trouble with both location systems turned on.
[Nook Color General] lanwarrior:
I did, and same error:

"Please enable My Location source in system settings"

FYI, I am using the following:

- Barnes and Nobles Nook Color

- Kingston 8GB Class 4 card

- Honeycomb 3.0 (Deeper Blue's Preview v04) installed on SD card (NOT internal ROM)

The Google Map application was installed separate than the Honeycomb image building. I.e. push via adb.
[Nook Color General] t3rabyte:
I'm getting the same message with both WiFi and GPS turned on.

I'm running HCv4 off a SanDisk SD with the Maps 5.0 apk (3d buildings, rotation and two-finger swipe work great)
[Nook Color General] lanwarrior:
Anyone else? Or location feature in HoneyComb for Nook Color is a known bug?
[Nook Color General] JoKu:
I haven't tried it on HC yet, but I did find that on CM7 the google maps location and navi only works with the settings a certain way. It may be something to do with my setup and the way other apps/settings are somehow affecting my location, but I was at work yesterday and it was showing my location as being in my apartment; which I obviously wasn't. It had done this previosly too and I never could figure it out, but I had been anywhere recently where I had a reason to use navi so I didn't mess with it a whole lot.

Yesterday I was on my lunch break and I decided I wanted to solve this issue, it was showing me as being at home when I wasn't, again. I tried clearing the app cache, data, I tried force stopping, resetting the device, and even powering off for a few minutes on both my phone and my nook. Since I couldn't figure out which device was causing the confusion about my location I tried all the above on both, but still nothing. Maps opened up and placed me at home again each time. So finally I opened maps on my Incredible and the location was right, it showed exactly where I was. Then I knew it was something to do with the nook. I went into the location settings where I had the wireless network location AND the gps satellite options checked. I unchecked the wireless network location option and force closed maps to open it again fresh. Worked right away and FINALLY didn't show the blue dot over my apartment. I used the navi on the way to work this morning just to test it and the location and everything else was perfect.

I know you are on HC and I'm not, but there are so many factors that have to be done just right it setting this up that maybe it's still just a tiny difference in your settings. Hope I helped, if even just a little bit. It seems to be that the wireless network for location was throwing mine off and giving a false reading.

Confusion

I have been trying for several day's to get the v4 to run and all I get is the locked partition error.

It will run other roms including CM7 with out problems.

It doesn't work reliably but it does work on the 2nd of the eMMC Honeycomb.

[Nook Color General] Tophall32:
I have that card as well. I have installed several rom's using my Win7 x64 machine. ALL worked except the Honey. I tried writing the card on my eePC Net book. running WinXP. Success and it wrote @ 14.6 MB/s. I only get 4.3 MB/s on the win7 machine.

I believe that this ROM is VERY VERY sensitive to writing speed. I will test more and see what happens. BUT, If you have access to a WINXP machine. Try it and see what you get.

[HD7 General] :
Hey guys. Just wanted to put this out there since it annoyed me...

The loose volume rocker.... for you guys who don't wear cases... (how could you when this phone is so beautiful?)

Cut a piece of electrical tape about 3/4th the length of the rocker, and about TWICE as wide as the thickness of the rocker.

Fold that piece in half, long side down. Stick it in between the rocker and the body, preferably near the battery side as opposed to the screen. Now shake it the phone to your ear. The rattle should be gone....

Cleaning up.... take a razor blade or something very sharp, and start cutting the tape along the inside of the rocker to clean it up.

I also had a creak when I held my thumb along the bottom on the USB connector and pressed the power button. Did the same thing with the tape and the creak is gone...

Hi! So I have this phone, the Samsung Fascinate. I love this phone. But soon I'm not going to have an actual cell phone plan and want to keep using this phone. I'm planning to switch over to those Pay as you Go plans, where I buy a card and fill up minutes. here's my question. I want to jailbreak this phone so I can do that, how would I go about doing this? And would I be able to access the net and everything? Would I have to stick with Verizon and use their prepay service or could I switch to a different company? I need to be able to call, send/recieve texts, and be able to use the web. If any one of these is missing, it's not worth it to me. Get what I'm saying? lol. So yeah, any info?

EDIT: So I've done more research, this is actually UNLOCKING that I want to do. Same questions apply. I've never unlocked a phone before. I've rooted several android phones, but never unlocked them to work on different networks. If I can unlock it and be able to use a prepay or pay as you go service, I'd be so happy. (cause they rip you off with contracts)

It's possible, but it's incredibly more difficult then flashing roms and rooting. You will actually have to figure out all the pass codes, apn settings and proxies (if applicable). Getting talk and sms is a breeze...it's the net, market, gps and mms that's a *****. Save yourself the headache

Fyi, the info you provided will not assist him in flashing the phone to another carrier. Rooting a phone has almost absolutely nothing to do with changing providers.

I haven't ever utilized vzw pay as you go plan, but I would imagine it would be a proxy type. The trick however is contacting vzw directly and asking them if they will allow it bc i'm sure the esn is already registered. That can be bypassed however I enjoy my freedom and don't feel comfortable sharing esn changing knowledge. If you had a vzw party as you go phone, I would suggest reading from the phone and replicating the values over to the fascinate.
