[Vibrant General] Azure100:
Well mine initially never worked indoors, however worked well with the Bionix 1.3.1 outdoors.. But occasionaly not always.

Recently it Did NOT work at all despite trying all the sgps2 etc fixes.

So then i went INSIDE my vibrant and did a hardware fix. Now it works awesome :D

Mine was made in August,2010
[Vibrant General] tf442:
I think it is the Samsung GPS chip. I have used the fixes and it works to some degree. My G1 and HD2 would pinpoint me on the sidewalk. When I took a walk it would show me going down one side of the street and back the other. I don't think the Samsung GPS chip is capable of that.

I can lock on and it may get to under 20 feet if I am still, but as soon as you start moving the accuracy varies quite a bit.

No more Samsung phones for me ever though I like everything else about my phone. My Vibrant with Trigger ROM is super except the %X$* GPS.
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
Why Eee Ess. And it works without any GPS fixes or witch craft. It started working after I stopped obsessing over it.
[Vibrant General] kcshmo:
for those that send the vibrant in for warranty exchange. have you done the hardware fix? I am running bionix 1.3.1, and I did the hardware fix. The thing works flawlessly some times, and other times, it just sit there and refuses to lock on to anything. I am thinking of sending mine in for exchange, but I am wondering if they check that the device had been opened up before.

[Q]: "ongoing" apps in statusbar not conforming to xml txt color? (2.2 stock)

I have edited all the appropriate xml files (statusbar, status_bar_expanded, status_bar_latest_event, etc...), and some apps conform (in my case, I've switched to an off white text), others dont (stay black).

I want to avoid pulling specific apks and altering them if I can.

I would think there would have to be some way to control this, so, is there a way to standardize the text color for the statusbar (if not in general, then at least just the ongoing section) so that regardless of app specific colors regarding the notification area, they would conform to the OS preference?

Thanks in adv! :)
[Android Themes] rori~:
unfortunately some apps use their own colors and you

cannot

change that.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carfield:
Is there any hack for Atrix which convert the filesystem to ext4 and without journal? So that I can get the best performance out of the hardware given
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8glad:
Well technically, you can mount an ext3 filesystem as ext4, therefore getting some of the enhancements from ext4. This has the advantage of allowing you to revert back to ext3 if something goes wrong. On a classic Linux install this would just require you to modify your /etc/fstab. But I'm not too familiar with Android internals though...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sogarth:
Considering that the kernel doesn't support ext4, that would probably be a bad idea. :p
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smallsmx3:
What filesystem does the atrix use?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhited:
From what I see on mine, there are a mixture of ext2 and ext3 partitions.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carfield:
Oh, Android 2.2.1 kernel don't support ext4?? That kind of suprise me, thanks a lot
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sogarth:
It's not that the Android kernel doesn't support it - the config for the Atrix doesn't support it. If we had the kernel source, we could build an ext4 kernel module (for example). Of course, that wouldn't necessarily help, since the kernel would need access to the module before it could mount anything.

[Droid 2 Global General] udK:

[Droid 2 Global General] -Gilgamesh-:
Easiest way to root is downloading an app called "z4root" search around the forms and you'll find it. Benefits are everything from overclocking, uninstalling bloatware, custom roms, etc etc etc.
[Droid 2 Global General] Blacklight17:
What Gilamesh said plus you can use Wireless Tethering. As for overclocking, I've overclocked mine to 1.4GHz before but battery life was bad. I'm at comfortable 1.25GHz for now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
So for the first time since installing TPC Inspire 4g Stock ROM Optimized v2 I just loaded maps (google maps), and the display switches to horizontal mode, and I can't get it go to to the vertical mode.... and when I exit out of maps, it stays horizontal, so when I open email or texts it all horizontal, and the only way around it is to force close all apps, then reload SMS or email and then it's normal vertical...

I tried reinstalling google maps, and clearing the map data cache, and neither resolved this issue. Anyone have a suggestion as to how to resolve?

For some reason I cant get into clockwork mod recovery. I rooted using the universal root tool, then installed CMR and flashed it, then i restart and / or try to load custom rom and it seems to not go in to 3r its stays on samsung recovery. what the hell is going on?

I tryed odin 1 clicking to 2.1 but that didnt work... just kept me at 2.2 formattted / cleared.

wat do?

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
2.2 has 3e recovery and wont let you install cwm b/c of invalid signatures. There are a few different threads that tell you how to get around it (sorry I can't provide a link).

Wish I could be more help, but I have only been at this a few weeks. This same situation did happen to me last week though. Good luck
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
A search for 3e recovery will get you the answer you need. I believe the pertinent thread is in the Vibrant forum.
[Nook Color General] ajaik:
I have a rooted NC with stock 1.1 firmware. Im just wondering what's gonna happen when the 1.2 update comes down? Will have to re-root it? If I do then I guess we'll have to wait until someone figures it out and produces a new boot image right? If so then I might not update until that's figured out.
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
If you don't do anything, it will update and break root and you will have to wait till that is rooted, HOWEVER! There are tutorials out there that have step-by-step on how to disable the updater, if that's what you want.
[Nook Color General] ajaik:
If I disable the updater, is it simple to re-enable later when the new rooting process has been figured out?
[Nook Color General] mariel9898:
I would like to know also. Since the new update is supposed to come out by the end of the month I just thought I would keep WiFi off at all times until I researched the best solution.
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
Will 3rd party Apps you've purchased still be present on the device and usable?
[Nook Color General] d00med:
Apparently, you just have to rename /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip to /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip.bak

Some people seem to have still gotten updates after renaming though. It's a little vague and some of the info might be outdated. This could potentially throw a wrench in a lot of people's tablets.
[Nook Color General] deadbot1:
Your purchased apps are stored by google. Yes they will still be there. I actually had purchased items from my phone show up on my book...quick download and good to go.

Now, after an update, you may lose them until it's rooted again...
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
yeah, if you let the update go through, I can almost say for sure you'll lose access to the apps until you root again and probably redownload them)
[Nook Color General] japzone:
To be safe get "Titanium Backup" and Purchase it's ProKey from the Market. Using it you can Batch Backup your Apps and App Data. Then if anything happens you can always Recover your Apps. (Batch Restore needs Pro Key)

For help using Titanium Backup read this Lifehacker article:

What is the fastest way to change DTS audio from an .mkv file to AAC audio?

Is there a program that just change the audio format without encoding the video file in the .mkv container so that the movie would be encoded faster?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digital Man:
I use Popcorn MKV Audio converter.

A little tricky to set up as it is basically a front end for other editing software, and you have to aquire all the required pieces and place them in the specified locations, but once this is done it works like a charm, it strips out the audio, and re-encodes without touching the video. Very fast and effective.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e.mote:
http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=38604&sid=8db3b7fbc2f3536ef1983858db708f79

Drop the videos onto the script. Defaults are to recode both audio and video. Change video recode to NO from pop-up menu, so only audio is recoded.

In the advanced section of the menu, you can select either keeping surround, or downmixing it to stereo. If stereo, then it encodes to MP3 via LAME; if 5.1, it uses NeroAACEnc to encode to 5.1 AAC. Surround AAC isn't widely supported, so you may want to stick with stereo.

On my system, it takes about 6min to recode audio (per audio track) of a 2-hr movie. Since it does folder processing, you can drop the whole movie folder and it'll process 5-10 movies an hour.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpusher:
This is the one I used to use for converting for the xbox. It doesnt mess with the video, just the audio, so its quick and easy.

i use xenonmkv, excellent program.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cultureenhance:
You may also try iDealshare VideoGo which can convert video or audio files to DTS or convert DTS to other audio formats.

This guide applies to:

Convert DTS audio to other audio formats like converting DTS to AC3, WAV, AAC, MP3, MP2, FLAC, AIFF, WMA, OGG, APE, M4A, AU and etc.

Convert video with DTS audio to video with AAC, AC3, MP2, PCM, or WMA audio like convert MKV DTS to MKV AAC/AC3/MP3/MP2/PCM, convert AVI DTS to AVI MP3, and etc.

Convert to DTS digital surround audio from WAV, AC3, FLAC, APE, PCM, AIFF, OGG, WMA, M4A, and Apple Lossless.

Convert video with non DTS audio codec to video with DTS codec files.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jmart8684:
Hey. I don't know if this was posted here or not (search is temp down) but if not, I found a temporary alternative for Titanium Backup until it works for the XOOM. I used to use titanium backup and Mybackup Root (free) to backup for my Droid X, but gotten lazy and just used TI.

Anyway, Since TI isn't compatible with the Xoom right now, I re-downloaded Mybackup Root on my Droid X (it isn't in the XOOM's android market) and used Astro to backup the .apk of it, and emailed it to myself. I downloaded it on the XOOM, made a backup of my all apps, and to test it, deleted a couple, and restored. It worked. I'm not too sure if its fully stable or compatible for the XOOM, but so far, it better then nothing.

A couple bugs I noticed is 1) if you touch the screen while it's backing up, it stops, and 2) it gave and error that the market link wasn't backed up or restored.

Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboater:
So I got a replacement Vibrant from T-mo. I already rooted it, and now I am trying to figure out the easiest way to trasnser everything from my old phone (running Bionix, a 2.2 rom) to the new phone which is running JI6 2.1.

I already rooted and installed clockwork on the replacement. Can I just make a nandoid backup on the old phone, running bionix, and transer that nandroid backup to the new replacement phone running stock 2.1 and do a nandroid restore?

If I remember correctly, nandroid does not backup/restore the kernel...So should I just flash a 2.2 kernel on the new phone, then while still in recovery restore the nandroid backup from the old phone?

This seems like the easiest way to get the new replacement running like the old one.

Any help is appreciated

Edit- also, if I restore the nandroid, it should do my photos and videos too?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] villainous_scum:
Yes. Just move your backup folder with the saved file into your clockwork mod folder inside your phone then you can run restore your old settings.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboater:
Thanks for the response. Regarding the kernel from current 2.1 and doing a nandroid restore to 2.2, do I need to flash a 2.2 kernel before the nandroid restore?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SykesAT:
Nandroid does not restore your kernel. I would dl your kernel, put it in root of your sd,. Put the nandroid on the sdcard. Reboot into recovery, wipe, restore nandroid, clear cache, fix permissions, flash kernel. Reboot, let phone sit for 10mins, reboot, use as normal.

Edit.

Nandroid will only restore system, apps and app data. Pics and personal address content will not be included. For a full transfer you will need to copy your entire old sdcard to the new one... on the old phone - make Nandroid, copy entire sdcard to new phone, add kernel to the new sdcard and follow instructions above.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboater:
I tried copying my pics over and it made a folder in gallery with like 2100 thumbnails... I only have about 200 pics... its weird, looks like it just keeps repeating the pics over and over
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SykesAT:
That is strange. Did you copy the old sdcard to your computer first, do you still have a copy there, What does the backup folder contain?

Or it might be quicker just to mount the new sdcard, nuke the thumbnails and be done with it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] nbowes:
Both the regular version and Seasons. It starts to look blurry and a little choppy…kind of like there is a problem with the screen refresh rate. Not 100%, bit I think it happens when the ad pops up. Sort of strange because Dungeon Defenders, Maps, YouTube...all play sharp and clear.

(Weird too, because Birds never looked bad on the gTablet.)

Anybody else having this?

I would have to agree as well. But the other angry birds look pretty good on my Xoom and I don't really notice any choppiness.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ama761156:
mine looks good also. is there a way to get rio working without the amazon app?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] nbowes:
I went ahead and laid down 99 cents for both the original and seasons versions of Birds on the Amazon app store. Both look better now that they aren't trying to cohabitate with the ads. Was worth the money, although the paid versions still take you to the Rovio news page when you pause the game or access it's menu, and that's even more annoying than the ads were.

+1 on Rio looking awesome!

I use stock but I hear there's better. What's best browser for the atrix

Sent from Atrix ;-)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Dolphin Browser HD (spring for the license, or find it on the web). Some good add-ons for it too. Use desktop mode.

I really want to like Firefox Mobile, as I am a big Firefox fan, but the current beta just isn't all that. DolphinHD is pretty awesome for the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] erick161:
Dolphin here as well. Faster and better than the sticker. I also have skyfire, but haven't played with it much. Used to use it on my iphone to play some flash videos.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] txtsd:
Dolphin HD works slower than the Firefox beta for me.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] slyydrr:
I use Miren.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] slimslim:
Dolphin HD. Also Opera Mini when only edge available.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Techcruncher:
dolphin hd is slower than stock, but allows you to go to desktop sites by default if you configure it. No matter how many times you try, frequently the stock browser will not allow you to go to desktop sites.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dinan:
The smoothest browser in terms of navigating a webpage is opera mobile 10 hands down (not mini). pinch to zoom is really smooth compared to any other android browser. too bad it doesn't work on the atrix yet and no flash support.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Vigneshd:
I like dolphin because it allows me to watch Hulu on my phone (after some slight modification of course). For general surfing and especially if you have a non-unlimited plan I would use Opera. It's faster and compresses stuff you have less data usage.

Best Browser

I have tried them all except that miren one you guys are talking about, I will give it a shot however If you haven't tried Xscope 6 then your missing out. Ive been sing it for months now. Its great. Its very lite and fast. you have nothing to lose by trying it.

OK well I just installed Miren after i made this post and I gotta say its a fantastic browser, Ive only been using it for a few minutes so I cant say I like it better than Xscope yet but I will give it more time.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] acPIZZA:
Miren is really good. Just checked it out, and it is perfect.

Currently using:

-Miren (Default)

-Opera Mini (when not on wifi/on edge)

-Dolphin HD (Only when I want to watch something on Hulu)

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] PiTT:
IMO, I've used them all and the new Opera Mobile 11 is by far the fastest and best. It has its bugs here and there, but still far better than even Dolphin HD (so much faster, it's not even close)

I chose Miren as well, but am beginning to question that choice. There seems to be an issue (on my phone at least) with selecting the right link when there is a vertical stack of them. It usually goes about 1/4 inch above where my finger is.

No other browser does this.
