[Nook Color General] rektide:
I was pretty happy with Nookie Froyo last night; it seemed to be working well enough & the market was going fine. I had one point where I had to open Rom Manager and set permissions, and it seemed to go on its way & be happy.

Today on the commute in, it fell apart. MortPlayer barfed on a directory, and wouldnt open, continually force closing as soon as it starts. Going into settings & hitting clear data and clear cache didnt do anything: the amount of KB used for both remained exactly the same. I opened Rom Manager, and it force closed immediately. I tried going into settings for it and doing clear data / clear cache, but again the amount of KB used for both remained exactly the same.

How can I fix this? What are likely causes for clear data / clear cache not having any effect? I've seen this last problem quite frequently on my various android devices-- Rom Manager seemed like the perfect fix (only found it last night) but now Rom Manager itself is borked. Help please.

For reference, I have plenty of experience with command lines, and have su, terminal, and adb all working fine. :D I just dont know what I need to do. And-- on my previous distro-- I found some mounts werent happy about remounting rw.
[Nook Color General] rektide:
also, are there logs on these application crashes?
[Nook Color General] cheezer38:
I had the same problem. Are you using a patriot card? Was the wifi on?

I reboot and leave the wifi off. Turn off time automatic update.

Not sure if that what fix it for me. Would not hurt to try.
[Nook Color General] rektide:
Using an ADATA "class 10" card (pshaw! 6mb/s does not class ten make!). I was in Airplane mode on the commute. I'll try turning of automatic update.
[Nook Color General] cheezer38:
Let me know. I would like to find out what is happening.
[Nook Color General] pceasar:
this is interesting i get these force closes on both my centon and kingmax cards cm7 and nookie froyo respectively. The force closes then go into an epidemic with framework services fc every app launch. it makes the nook unusable until reboot then it happens all over again. i use the nook praying the browser doesnt crash then force close hell ensues. I hope there's a fix
[Nook Color General] pceasar:
based on the lack of responses in this thread i assume this is a known issue. I'll continue to Google a cure
[HTC Incredible S] DaanJordaan:
hey guys,

Simple enough really... Will the phone lay flat on it's back, or does the camera stick out a bit?

Thanks,

DaanJordaan
[HTC Incredible S] ramis7:
No, in this time camera is on the flat surface. no look like desire hd. its better in shape.
[HTC Incredible S] DaanJordaan:
Thanks for the quick reply.

And thanks HTC for finally realising using a phone that's wobbling about the table isn't very ergonomic or user friendly.

The HTC Hero I owned layed flat on its back, but it's buttons were on it's "chin". So it would tip up a bit every time you'd press back or search, very annoying:p

Finally, I'm switching back to HTC, but I will be waiting for CyanogenMod. I still don't like sense anf prefer a vanilla rom...

While I don't know if it's important for this question, I'm using the ROM "[ROM] Android Revolution 4G 3.2".

Basically, when a reminder pops up on my Inspire I want to dismiss it. So, I drag the bar down the screen to do so. For some reason it, then, opens the screen to the calendar event page telling me all about what I'm dismissing.

How can I get the event reminder to just disappear when I dismiss instead of going to that page?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zeroize:
When you install an application you get an icon you can place wherever you want.

The problem is that when I reboot, some icons always appear at the end of the last panel, like when the app was installed for the first time.

I've tried reinstalling, unistalling + deleting cache partition and delviks chace + installing, and whatever I thought It could help like "fixing permisions" in xrecovery.

I'm sure this is not an application problem, because I got it once and when I updated the phone (flashed a newer rom version) it fixed. The problem is I don't want to reflash the phone.

So what can I do? What file stores the apps icons position?

Thank you! ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
Hi, I'm using galaxy S2 and experiences the same problem.

rather discuss in this thread than open a new thread as it seems the same issue (android not phone)

anyone can help?

(I don't have an SD card, cuz I've searched and seen discussions about apps moved to SD card will make their icons run around)

i have install fission 2.4.3 and the sim card hot fix, shouldn't this make my phone capable of using sim cards outside of the US, (the phone has not been unlock by code), can someone clarify this for me please, thanks
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
No, its just supposed to make fission be able to use sim cards, you still have to unlock it
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] MGA2009:
Where did you get SIM HOT FIX?

I have Motorola Droid 2 Global Unlocked with default blurred Android 2.2 and I want to flash to Team Fuse Rom.

My phone is rooted.

Best Regards.

Its in frm
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] XtriFe:
and by that he means Fission Rom Manager
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] sactoguy:
I have Fission rom manager, full version, but I'm not seeing the sim card hot fix. There are two sections RomManager and AddOn, which do not have any hot fixes. Could anyone post up a link on here or via pm if it is downloadable in FRM?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: nvm, I'm seeing it now, had to reboot the phone lol
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Beatingusilli:
Its in add on. along with a lot of cool stuff.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] navalynt:
So the sim card hot fix gives fission the ability to use SIM cards, but you still need to get an unlock code.

Will SIM cards for other US carriers work using this hotfix, or only international carriers.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] sactoguy:
You'd need D2G SIM unlocked, then band unlocked in order to use SIM cards from AT&T and T-Mobile in the US.

[Xoom General] zone23:
This GPS talk is one of the reasons I went with the 3G/4G version. It is nice to be able to get mapping, restaurant locations, gas stations, hospitals, and all the other on the fly data. Not to say you can't download a map its just nice not having too. Its just at your finger tips. None of this has anything to do with the OP question so sorry OP..
[Xoom General] dota-lina:
any good ones to recommend? i cant find any maybe im using wrong keywords or im just bad at searching.......
[Xoom General] BBruin66:
You can pre-cache maps in Google Maps. Just make your route while you are connected to wifi and it will save it. It stays in the cache for a long time as far as i can tell.
[Xoom General] reefur:
I use google nav on xoom....which I find to be much better than using tomtom on my iphone...although tomtom was more customisable and worked seamlessly with any music app which is the only thing I miss.....but here is a site i found helpful....breaks down all your options with pros and cons....I'm guessing tomtom/I go/garmin don't want to fuss with making an overpriced turn by turn navigation app for us android users when we get a pretty damb good one for free....

My plan is to use the mobile hotspot feature on the wife's android phone for the data connection.
[Xoom General] zone23:
That works great until the wife wants to make a phone call.. :(

I get your point though. To each their own. It makes sense..
[Xoom General] inspiron41:
on top of that you can change your route according to the FREE live traffic, which is a nice bonus!! which save me from the bronx bus accident on the i-95...
[Xoom General] GorfinG:
I've made phone calls with the hotspot active..
[Xoom General] zone23:
Well of course I'm talking from my own experience. The EVO I believe can only do data or voice not both at the same time unless I'm connected to 4G.
[Xoom General] vizir:
thats because of CDMA limitations. GSM networks do data+voice simultaneously.

Wifi From Wife's Phone

@wildfan2k

Make sure your wife's phone supports infrastructure mode or is a Droid. Xoom does not like to tether with most Rooted Wifi options. Droid on the other hand can offer bluetooth tethering that Xoom does recognize.

Here in Australia the Xoom is not avail yet and no ideas when. Was looking at ebay and none of the wifi ones have GPS. Have asked a few sellers and they also say no.

Ideas?
[Xoom General] Xaositek:
Just fired up the Maps app on my WiFi-only Xoom - worked real quick. I would say 95% it's "real" GPS.

Maps also says "Location set by GPS"

Disconnect wifi and try and get directions.

[Xoom General] laredo7mm:
I just tried that on mine and it kept saying "location temporarily unavailable." I let it try to find some satellites for a little bit, but no luck. Tested outside with clear view to the sky. Maybe the sdcard update will turn on the GPS also. ;)

With wifi on it could find my location "within 70 meters." GPS should be accurate within a few meters.
[Xoom General] ntron1:
It has GPS but gets the maps from the web. If you have a rooted android phone it is easy to have web access anywhere.

WiFi Off (notice icon in lower right) - 3rd Party GPS app

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2180926/Photo Mar 26, 9 52 52 PM.jpg
[Xoom General] laredo7mm:
Hmmmm, my GPS doesn't seem to work. This is after 5 minutes of having the 3rd party app running:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24488353/IMAG0013.jpg
[Xoom General] dusty_nz:
I have read in a few articles that the Xooms GPS module is part of the 3G card. Eg all together.

Drop one and you drop the other.

However the motorola site shows the wifi one does have GPS however not 100% confident.

Eg Ipad 2 wifi does not have GPS due to the same reason.
[Xoom General] laredo7mm:
Hmmmm, I may have found a bug. Not sure it is generic or specific to my wifi Xoom.

To repro:

1. Make sure GPS is enabled in your settings

2. Reboot

3. Turn on an app that uses the GPS

>>>Notice that the GPS works fine<<<

4. Turn off the GPS app used in step #3

5. Settings >> disable GPS

6. Turn on the GPS app used in step #3

7. Turn on the GPS when prompted by the app

>>>Notice that the GPS does not work<<<

It seems that after you toggle the GPS off from the settings, you can not really turn it back on. A reboot fixes the issue. Also repro when having GPS off in step #1, then turning it on, everything works. Turn it off and then back on, and it does not work until after reboot.

Can anyone try this and confirm?
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
On GSM voice and data are separate infrastructure, thats why AT&T does not have data everywhere they have voice. With CDMA they use the same infrastructure therefore data is everywhere voice is. I believe the new LTE resolves this limitation.
[Xoom General] patass:
there is an option in the locations settings to turn GPS signals off. with my phone tethered I was able to get directions and my location in a snap.
[Xoom General] HwyXingFrog:
Read through the entire post, does anyone have a solid answer to this.

A definite way to answer the question is to run a 3rd party app, I use "GPS Test" on my HTC Desire and it works awesome, it reports speed, satellites, and power levels.

Is this an option?

Thanks.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
On LTE everything is pretty much treated as data - including voice. Glorified SIP calling is where we are headed.
[Xoom General] derekthegeek:
GPS on WiFi Only Xoom DOES WORK without wireless/data connection

1. I have a WiFi Only Motorola Xoom.

2. I downloaded "GPS Test" from the App Store

3. I disabled WiFi on my Xoom

4. I ran GPS Test and it picked up my location with 34 feet.
[Xoom General] aronslusa:
I also have the WiFi only Xoom.

I've used Google Maps with a cached root and had NO problems getting to my destination.

Went off track a bit too to get some fuel and my little blue guy stayed with me the whole way until I got back on track, then resumed his journey with me.

Used the GPS Test app as well and connected to 11 birds in the sky before, 15ft accuracy.

I've since rooted my HTC Hero and can bluetooth tether my Xoom to it for data; just leave that on while navigating and whalla! No monthly fees for service I'll likely never use more than a couple times per month (nowhere near the 2/3 gigs offered).

Hopefully the Evo 3D doesn't give too many problems when it comes out, and can tether my Xoom.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamtheindien:
My GPS will not work, but only for navigation, when I'm in maps or whatever else it knows exactly where I'm at but when i go to navigation it just says searching for GPS, and it never finds it.

I'm running CM7 RC2, with the minimalist theme.

Any solutions?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Are you sure what you are seeing in Maps is not just cell tower triangulation (coarse location)?

Install GPS Status & Toolbox (free on the Market) and see if you are actually picking up the satellites and if this app can get your location. My guess is you aren't.

The GPS issue with CM7 has been discussed thoroughly in the thread, so jsut go over there and do a search. There are a couple different fixes, the most common being to flash another radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
You pretty well summed it up. OP's probably getting a decent triangulation off of cell towers/WiFi points to find him.

I've been using the app GPS Test in the Market to check my GPS on all the nightlies.

GPS seems to be generally working more often for people on the latest nightlies, I think #19 and later. Its working for me now since they added some GPS fixes.

I guess that's the beautiful thing about open source: With a paid vendor, one can force him to adjust to his customers ("do this, or I won't buy.") With open source, each developer does things exactly as he likes, regardless of anybody else's wishes.

This is a good demonstration of why open source OS are getting nowhere on the PC, where there is a choice. :-(

Hey,

i would like to know if there is any alternative ROM for the work of MoDaCos Desire-Port? His version doesn't seem to work for me. I have call wonks and could not resolve the issues withe dewonkificator :(

I would like to have the stock desire version :(

Any chances?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
THIS any good for you?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunnahabhain:
Yeah that would be nice :D

But that ROM is toooo alpha for me, though i didn't try it by myself (just read from others). Seems that i have to wait for that ROM to be finished.

Though i had similar experiences on my old HD2 -> the small and clean desire-ROMs were always a lot faster than the new ports :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
What makes you want a Desire ROM in the first place? If it's just the Sense 'look', like the clock for instance, you could achieve that with various widgets and apps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunnahabhain:
firstly i find the sense-thing very attractive....

secondly i am sure that the camera works very well with the desire-port - especially i want wide screen (that has no stock foryo or gingerbread)

3. I want everything working and all those CM7 release candiates don't satisfy me with their wonks :D

I dont know, but i think with htc sense one could get the most instant access to applications and so on - everything is thought out quite well and it takes minimal effort to get done things done.

The eye-candy is not so important...

What would you recommend?

P.S.: i need it smooth
