quickgps?

hey guys, just started working at att and i requested the tilt as my company phone. well i got it yesterday, but i am completely pda/smartphone illiterate..
and i have been skimming over this forum but it minus well have been written in chinese...
so i read that quick gps is already loaded on the phone? i went through file explorer and couldn't find it anywhere... did i over look it?
also, the phone seems really laggy... from the screen switching from potrait to landscape... and there seems to be alot of lag in pressing the numbers on the touchscreen.
i've seen all the rom flashes and such... but is there a dummy guide to flashing the rom? do i download it onto my comp then move it over using active sync? does it matter what folder i put it under?
sorry for the stupid questions, but i tried my best to read through the threads but i couldn't seem to absorb anything...
-tj

mail me your phone, ill put quickgps on it and whatever custom rom you want..

couple of things
first off, try advanced search for the kaiser thread
second, coming from att might get you banned here... seems anyone that mentions xda on att forums gets banned
(i for one have been happy with the customer service)
there are plenty of guides to flashing, but basically you need to be careful. hook up to active sync and install hardspl, it won't look like anything happened so verify that you did it. then you're ready to flash your rom of choice. I use XDA Live, just keep in mind that flashing is risky and so you need to read read read... I'd stick with the stock rom for awhile anyway
quickgps is under programs BTW
this thread might be deleted just on the principal that there are a hundred like it

thanks for the info....
didn't know there was so much animosity between att workers and xda people...
i just work there to pay the bills and put food in the mouth... hopefully some of you know where im coming from...
also, to get my today screen to look like this....

not really interested in the bee in the background but more the layout of the today screen... im guessing that would require a rom flash? it just looks so much cleaner then the standard today screen...

To make your screen look like that, background excluded, all you need to do is to fing HTC Home cab file and install it. You do not need to change the ROM. Search... grasshopper...er bumble bee

[REQ] tweak to disable vibration on start up

search for sometime now, could not find any leads that may shed light to this
anyone out there? I'll try searching for it in the registry, if only i know where to start

First off, I don't know why you'd even ask for this. It's a tiny burst of vibration that happens only once when you power up the device, and that's it. There's no harm in it and I can't see a genuine reason for wanting it gone since it happens so rarley.
Secondly, you can't get rid of it. It's part of the self-diagnostic that runs when you switch on the device. If you did find a way to stop it (and I'm 99.9999999999999999999% sure you won't) then the phone would probably think there was a problem and not boot.
You're gonna have to live with it mate.

It's so smarmy that it looks like it should have Blofeld sat on his lap and be saying "Ah Mr. Bond.... I've been expecting you"

ahhh. . . so cute it neh?? can i cuddle him/her?
ssshh. . . spamming

I was also looking for a solution to this problem.
You asked, why one should wish to deactivate this little vibration on startup...well, quite simple:
My HD2 performs its system backups every night, while it is in its cradle beside my bed. I am using SPB Backup which does a warm reset after finishing its operation. It's really not very funny to wake up every night, only because there is this "little" vibration during the boot up process.
If you are a user of a genuine HTC ROM, there is even an additional little melody playing after vibrating, which is still more uncomfortable! Only for this reason, I just reflashed my HTC ROM back to a Vodafone ROM (which only has the vibration).
I think, it would really be a good idea, If someone found a tweak to suppress the boot up vibration!

For the start up tune I used "JWMD Iconchanger" to delete it... now it vibrates in silence

Phone running out of memory.

I'm sorry if I'll sound retarded but I just don't know much about this platform yet, so you may enlighten me on this one. A few minutes ago I was trying to save a favorite in the browser, but the phone didn't let me: an error message popped up telling me I was out of memory. What's that? I've got plenty of memory, is that a bug? I updated the firmware to the latest version just the other day, maybe this is what is causing the issue? I knew about a bug not allowing you to edit one, but this looks different. I also tried to delete the others but it didn't help. Thanks in advance.

update: apparently I can add favourites from any other site, but not from the specific one I was browsing. Now that is weird...

This cannot be Windows Phone! It's memory management surpasses thousands of other toys out there!
BTW, try this - look up your background tasks, see if manually turning one or two off gives you more room to favourite that particular page?
What happens after a restart? May be clearing all the temp files might be the case? I have only restarted/switched off my Titan 5 times max in last 3 months! 3 times was for updates and 2 times was because I wanted to drain battery to 0. Now that worries me because I am so used to restarting my old green man phones to keep temp and cache clear. - non-tech speculation this is.

Wooa, I found an answer by myself in the end...get ready because this one is pretty dumb: apparently the name given by default to the favourite was way too long, once I shortened it I could add it just fine. So I guess I found a new (very minor) bug: if the name is too long the phone displays an error message saying the phone memory is full, pretty weird heh...
Here's a link to the site I was trying to add, maybe you can reproduce the issue even on your Titan, let me know, I'm pretty curious

Actually, this is a well known bug that affect favorites.

Yeah, but it's not literally a memory issue, it simply displays the wrong error message.

[Q] New to One s And Android....pls help!

Hello I just got a One S yesterday. my old phone is a HTC HD2
I found the PDF of the users guide for this phone but as I am reading, I dont see the options they are talking about on my phone.
for example.....if you hit the apps button from the home screen you are "supposed" to be able to find something called "show Me" and "transfer" but I dont find this stuff.
my main issue right now is trying to find a way to transfer my contacts from my old phone to the new one. and no my contacts are not linked to google or anything else.
thanks for any help or comments,
Nicole

I don't undrstand why ud get such a nice phone and have to read the user guide loool u had the hd2 wats wrong with u lool anyway apps are organised alphabetically transfer will be on last page swipe right and there is also a search function u can use top right corner on all apps
I can't remember seeing show me but it must be there I've removed alot of stuff because of leedroid Rom what do you want to do ill help u out
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

thats the odd thing, from what I see neither of those exist on the phone. not on the app list and not when I search for them.

Should be ;/ check your boatloader are u unlocked ? Where did u get It from? When u set up phone the last step is transfer why didn't u do It?

I got the phone from a T-Mobile store. The guy there started up the phone to make sure it was working. I think I am stuck manually entering everyone. Now I am also stuck with all my facebook people synced on here by accident. Searched the forum and all ways to fix this don't seem to work either. Darn it. Lol. Nothing seems to be going good for me

Dowload ruu and flash it will put u exactly how it should be

The How To seems to download pdf instructions (didn't try), Transfer is a phone to phone sync.
Bell (Canada) doesn't seem to **** around with phones too much, the only thing I can tell they install is the "Mobile TV" app (maybe sympatico.ca too, I don't have a sympatico e-mail with them), which is included in my monthly plan (10 hours a month, does not add to data). HBO is 5$. It has a couple dozen channels for free (could watch the stanley cup live on it).
I can't remember anything pre-installed on my Legend when I got it either.

That's odd. So those exist on some of the one.s phones but not all. I definitely don't see them on mine
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA

I guess T-Mo removed those apps and didn't remove it from the user's guide.

I still have transfer on LeeDroid custom rom
Maybe someone smarter than me can get OP the app
But, there are some transfer apps in Play Store
I did see a setting somewhere when I set up accounts not to sync Facebook etc--forget where--

Like I said, I won't be in a position to download probably till tomorrow, just hoping it will work on my GNex & Nexus 7 (and Nexus 4)!

Hi nishanthhh! I'm one of the Say What You See developers!
Are you sure it froze? The app downloads quite a bit of data when it's first loaded, so you may need to be patient?
If it did fully crash, it'd be great to know what sort of device and OS version you're using so we can try and fix it for you!
Really like to hear from anyone else about the app too - it's our first Android app, so we really want to make it as great an experience as possible!
Or, y'know, at least have it so that you can play the flipping thing.
Cheers,
Jon

Tried the game and had no fcs. The good thing is that it works and is fun. The bad thing is that its quite difficult cause I never had an iPhone or heard of this game. Just one request, I want to zoom in on the picture more cause its quite small and I have to strain my eyes.

ok I tried this app but as a french guy this is clearly too difficult for me, not to mention im not really a movie fan

Hi Juhan! We'll see if we can increase the magnification a bit, certainly down't want to send you running to the opticians!

Hi Jon_SWYS, I have just sent an email to yourselves via your online form with some suggestions and a bug report.
I will attach the email here so anyone else can also comment on if they have the same problems?
I have a few suggestions and a bug report for the current version.
Suggestions: I have been playing this on my Nexus 7, and because the keyboard takes up quite a bit of room, you can't always see the full, flashing clue as it is obscured by the keyboard. Would there be a way that we could hide the keyboard, while keeping the clue flashing and highlighted?
Possibly being able to scroll while the clue is highlighted would be beneficial too, but that is less of an issue.
Bug report: On my Nexus 7, when I try and buy more coins I get a "Sorry there was a problem making a purchase on this device. Please check that your System is up to date and you have the latest version of Google Play installed. I am running 4.2.1. It works on my Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.
I hope this report helps, and my suggestion makes some sense?
