I looked in /data/local and don't see it. Anyone know where to kill this annoyance? Otherwise, I like the ROM and I'm switching back and forth between Virtuous for Sense and Jager for nonsense.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I installed the Jager ROM over the weekend, and today I had a problem with the SU program included not working. This sucks because now I can not back anything up or do anything that requires SU privies. The SU program just force closes when it comes up in any program that needs it. I downloaded another SU program but the old one always comes up. Is there a way to change this or uninstall the other one. I found the same one in the market but it wont install. Maybe cause its read only?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have found a slight issue with the Jager Sense rom, which other than this is so full of win.
I am using Handcent and my phone it will no longer send MMS messages. It just acts like it's sending, indefinitely.
I noticed in Titanium that there was an app called Messages 1.00, which cannot be installed back to the phone from there.
I believe that this app not being installed is the cause of the issue, but I don't see it in the the Backup folder.
What the heck is the technical name for this app, so I can push it back. I know kind of a stupid ?? It's been a long day.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen user press log off button following 2 lines should happen:
stopService(myIntent);
unbindService(mConnection);
myIntent is same intent that was used to start service(desperate attempt to get this working). mConnection is basically straight from android's development center.
I have verified that service's onDestroy gets called. There it sets boolean variable true to make Runnable stop it's course(which among itself starts up gps tracking if certain requirements happen), calls the locationManager's removeCallbacks and finally calls super.onDestroy function.
I thought this was supposed to be enough to stop the service from running and acquiring GPS positions(and likely sends them to server too) but the GPS acquiring symbol is STILL blinking. I presume this is not just graphical error by the phone but that it still is searching(and wasting battery).
What have I done incorrectly? What else I need to do to get the service stop when I want? Service dying off when android decides off yet staying up when I'm trying to get it closed.
I have a timer that schedule a task to run every 5 minutes. This task send a request to a server, so I need to be sure that CPU is on so that wifi or 3g can be used.
So the first thing I do in my run() method is :
CODE:.........
And the last thing I do in the run() is : wl.release() ;
I would like not to release here to be sure my service will run in the next 5 minutes :
The question is : if the device is already in a sleep state, can I wake up it with my wl.acquire() ?
I posted this back in May on the [android-developers] Google Group. I never heard back and was not able to reproduce the problem until one of my students did last week. I figured I'd post it here and see if it rang any bells for anyone.
In one of my code samples, I have the following method:
CODE:..............
When I run it, sporadically, I get this:
CODE:......................
This makes no sense to me. The database is definitely open. The SQLiteClosable is the SQLiteQuery created by SQLiteQueryDriver, and I see no evidence that there is an object pool or something going on here that might explain how a "new" SQLiteClosable is already closed. The fact that it is sporadic (meaning the same UI operations sometimes trigger the exception, but not always) suggests some sort of pool, race condition, or something...but I'm not sure where.
The code in question is from the LunchList tutorials out of my Android Programming Tutorials book. It's a bit spread out and not terribly suitable for posting directly in SO. You can download the code for that book from the above link if you want to take a look at it. I do not recall exactly which edition of the tutorial the student was working on at the time, though it was in the Tutorial 12-Tutorial 16 range. I was mostly hoping to run across somebody who had tripped over this problem before and had a likely culprit. I'm fairly certain my database is open.

I have tried to root this phone using Gingerbreak, Revolutionary, Z4root, and a few others. When I search on Google or the XDA website I can't find absolutely anything about an HTC Acquire. It's like the internet thinks the phone doesn't exist? I recently upgraded to it from my HTC Desire CDMA Bravo-c that I had rooted, flashed a custom rom, custom kernel, custom radio, the works.
With a free sunday at my disposal, i thought i would try and sort my hero out as it has become super-laggy after the OTA 2.1 update (HTC hero locked to 3UK network, previously had 1.5).
So i've been trying to read as much as i can on this and other forums and got as far as installing Universal Androot, which reported success in rooting the phone.
However have now installed (and bought PRO ver) of Titanium Backup which refuses to recognize the root. It returns:
ERROR: Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again.
Yet, TB is listed as 'allowed' under SuperUser Permissions. And even weirder when the error dialogue box comes up sometimes a strapline flashes briefly across the screen 'Titanium backup has been granted .. permissions'. I take it that this is Superuser informing me.
So why doesn't Titanium recognize the root? Have tried re-starting and rerunning Androot (which reports that phone is already rooted, do you still wish to proceed). It's almost as if superuser isn't giving the OK fast enough or something.
Obviously don't want to start messing around with ROMs if i can't first backup my data!
I currently have a voice plan, with sprint, for my dying LG Musik and my father's Palm Centro and am seeking to replace my Musik with a Samsung Moment. I have an upgrade available on my account, however I don't want to get locked into a data plan, since I rarely spend any time away from Wifi.
Does anyone know if there is a way for me to use my upgrade to aquire the Moment without commiting to the data plan?
Okay, here is an issue I am not sure about.when I go to the internet, Google, settings, allow use of device location.if I change that to Yes/Save/then go back out to Google it says location unavailable (whether GPS is on or off). If I hit update it won't update.so it can't find my location, any ideas?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWe've recently moved to TN and my Incredible still thinks I'm in VA. All apps, like weather, Poynt, etc., show my old address, even when GPS is turned on. There must be some setting on the phone doing this, but I sure can't find it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI think best option is to turn off Both gps and network location settings, then just leave gps widget on home, if anything needs location, it will warn you....think that location burns battery, and I find with all off, google, and htc weather widget use my home location instead of current location.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI know there are many posts about location based widgets not working correctly (and I have read lots of them). Some people say they do and others say they don't work right. on my DI I can not get the Sense Weather/Clock to follow where I am currently (GPS on or off). Is it supposed to?? It would seem to me that it should be able to get a rough area based on what cell towers I'm hitting, but that doesn't work for anything. Every weather based widget I've tried works solely off GPS and when I am in my building at work there is no connecting to the GPS Sats. So before I go off on a tangent I'll ask my question(s). Should non-GPS location services work? Or does everything need GPS on and connected? I only have about a week left and I want to make sure that my phone is working correctly before my 30 days are up. This is the only frustrating thing I have found with the phone so far.

In the EVO 4G section and I'm having the same issue with my Incredible. For the past couple of days every time I go to google.com I receive this prompt
This happens using the native browser or using Dolphin browser. All my location settings are set to allow sites to use my location (in the phone options and all browser options). I get the prompt both when I am logged into google and when I am logged out. I've even checked my google account settings "save recent locations" is set as On and "allow use of device location" is set to YES. No matter what combination of options I select within the prompt, it comes back every time I go to google.com. I've rebooted and even pulled out the battery and nothing changes. GPS on or off has no effect and clearing out my caches hasn't changed it either. My phone is stock except for being rooted.
I love the google navigation but I have to say it is a little more difficult to use than VZ navigator..... How do I save a location where I am at? There is a place that is starred,how do I get rid of it? I didn't even starred it.... Is there a way you can delete all your current locations you went too? With VZ navigator I can go online and manage all my places. With this, I can't...
View 3 Replies View RelatedBased on what I've been reading, leaving GPS on won't drain more battery. It's just merely allowing apps to use the GPS.That said, if you have GPS on and have apps that use GPS, you will drain more battery.I want to leave my GPS on for "Where's my Droid." My question is this: how do I make it so that apps (weather widget, etc.) only use network location and not GPS? Is there a way to block all apps except those I choose from using GPS ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIt keeps telling me I'm in the town across the river. Maybe according to the network location I am in that town but when I go to maps and it uses GPS it realizes the proper city. The weather app often makes this mistake. I thought when I setup my device it may have asked if I want to use GPS or just network location for something but I can't find that setting anymore. Any ideas on how to get more accurate current location for the weather widget?
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe clock/weather widget seems to no longer know my current location. All it says is literally "Current location". Prior to the 2.2 upgrade and even for a while after the upgrade it used to show the actual city or town I was in. I've played around with the settings under Settings -> Location but nothing makes a difference.
View 2 Replies View RelatedGenerally my location is detected normally but on occasion i get a number instead of the town i am in on the home screen clock widget. Same goes with the weather widget. I know its not a problem with the town information because sometimes it works and generally does so after being at the location for awhile. However today, for example, my location at work simply displays as "5". It has not updated itself after about 8 hours and counting. Friday it was fine.
