Hi Guys.
Just got this working on my desire after a struggle with out of date files not to mention corrupted files but it all seems to be working fine now
Brill
Only problem is I cant exit.
If I just exit via the home button it carries on running in the notification bar
Have to go into a task manager or such like to kill it???

Can't work
Hi all, I am using Gingerbread 2.3.3 now and the gameboid refuse to work. When I tried to upload a ROM, then suddenly it stopped functioning. It worked perfectly fine when I use Froyo 2.2.1. Can someone help me? or do I need to downgrade it to Froyo just for Gameboid.

Your a lifesaver. I searched earlier this year for this and struggled to find it. Pokemon FTW

CoPilot favourites not saving

Hey all,
Any Copilot users here? Are you able to create any new favourite locations? The process all seems to go through properly for me but then no favourite is created, even my recent destinations doesn't update itself, it's like something isn't able to be written to. Anyone else?
I'm using OD 3.1.0
Thanks
Russ

I'm sorry to say, but if you bought copilot you have to contact the official support. If you did NOT buy it: GO AWAY - these requests are not wanted in here!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Woah there horsey, that's a big assumption! Someone needs to decrease their righteousness.
I did indeed buy it, no dodgy copies here and I have contacted support directly but sometimes knowledgeable people with faster response times can be found on here.

i have no problems saving favorits on my copilot, im using version 8.2.0.218, i dont know if this is of any help but if you run copilot without the gps on it dosent seem to save anything you do

Same version here, GPS is definitely on too. Could be an Opendesire ROM issue maybe?

try clearing the data & cache in settings/applications, see if that helps

That was the first thing I tried. Then I uninstalled and even deleted the folder from the SD Card and reinstalled from scratch downloading the maps again and everything...no luck

maybe you should try a diffrent rom then sorry i cant help more, but its defo working on mine

Thanks anyway, appreciate the input. Lets hope an OD user stumbles upon this thread

I'm going to make a suggestion here, now don't think am saying this is better than that but have you tried sygic mobile maps instead? I use it myself and it's available from the HTC store so does that say anything for it?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I had this on my Hero when I took the sim out so can't really help. I tried NDrive when my Copilot expired (even though I purchased it months ago) and didn't like it at all (the UI wasn't very polished). Good luck if you contact Copilot support, they aren't the quickest.

I had that problem, updated to version v8.2.0.251, and the problem seems sorted.

Ooh yeah just noticed a new release today, has fixed it for me too, must have been a bug.

On a loosely related note...do you still have the option to turn off the "Welcome to Copilot Live" speech greeting when you start it? Seems to have disappeared on mine or I forgot where it is

No, lost the option to turn that off, along with the annoying beep every time you select something.

Same here...I'll send a message on twitter to their support

Good Luck,
I did report these as a problem by email a couple of weeks ago, and they notified me about the update 4 days ago. At least they solved the major problem in my eyes, only two more to go.

[WP7] ilomilo Doesn't work?

Well I Tried installing apps (Unlocked LEO70, Not activated)
All of the apps installed correctly, but when I install ilomilo it shows up in the games section and when pressed just snaps back into the games section, like it can't boot.
Rise of Glory does the same thing while NFS works correctly and so does everything else I tried.
Any ideas? or maybe someone who tried it and it worked?
Ps,
I Got the XAP from the Mrkt3 Application, and many others aswell.

anyone tried it yet?

WP7 3MktPlace v0.4.zip is not an application for piracy. it allows you to download any of the free apps (trials) from the market place and then transfer to your plone in a xap format.
check it out
back on topic, i have ilomilo on my activated HD2 and it works fine. in fact haven't found an app that doesn't.

Many other games aren't working for me as well!

ilomilo works fine for me...
edit: downloaded from the phone that is

Yes but the program can also unlock/decrypt those trails so they are full which is why the mods said no discussion on this prog/subject. You can have your account disabled for doing so, especially when its previously topic was closed for this reason.
Dont get me wrong the app is great but this just inst the correct forum to be discussing it or asking for help on it.

When installing apps through such means, running xbox live titles is a hit or miss, it's either it works or doesn't, no fix currently and I don't suggest you keep on installing apps so. >.>

doesn't work too

All of the Games work perfectly for me. Make sure you have an Activated phone and it should work when downloaded from Marketplace!

can anyone upload and link me to imolilo please because i bought it and i cant download it through the marketplace for some reason!
Thanks

use Zune
When you buy the game/app it is guaranteed to work (in most cases).. but if sideloaded from what ever means... during the process used to unlock it something didn't copy over correctly and that's why for some games it loads up just fine and for others it does not
Everybody knows that if acquiring something that should've been paid for but wasn't is considered steeling and shouldnt be posted... And like things stolen it is a hit or miss (like mentioned before), but if paid for legitimately and it does not work you by all means are allowed to ask for help or just get a refund

I had the same problem, then I downloaded this one and it works fine!

Android Market installations now available via your browser!

Ok, so this was announced earlier today and I saw it and thought "meh". I had a browse about and still thought "meh", but then I discovered the fact that I can install apps on my phone directly from the browser.
When I first tried it, it didn't work, but every other app after that was installing on my phone within seconds of my clicking the install button. So basically, I can install apps on my phone from any internet ready computer.
Thanks Google. You just made something sweet a little sweeter!
Enjoy, my friends

Yes mate. I am genuinely surprised at how seamless it is. I had my phone in front of the screen and clicked "install" and it immediately started downloading on my phone. It's a VERY nice feature!

make sure you setup your gmail account on the phone and access the market then exit, then it will work. I had the same issue until I did that, cause the FAQ says that will happen if you havent visited market recently.
Now this is cool, utterly great find, no more market on the phone.
BTW, you dont have to access market with https, you can access the same page without the cert error using http.

Check under My market account and then go to the tab "settings" see if your phone appears there, make model carrier. cause both my HD2's show up, there. also on that same screen on the top right there is a link "dont see your device" might be of help to your situation.

Great stuff is this!

I can't get apps to download to my device. When in my PC browser, I am logged into market, can see my device in the pull down menu and it says it will be installed onto my device shortly, but nothing happens. I tried rebooting, logging out of Talk and back in, downloading the app directly from the market android app (which works, but doesn't solve the app delivery via browser), and also trying downloading from my android browser. No luck. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: Nevermind. Flashed pongster's latest Ginger Rom and all is good.

Galaxy Tab P-1010 WiFy only

If you are frustrated with Samsungs total lack of support for this new device let me share with you some solutions that will make you change your mind about how you feel about your new Galaxy Tab WiFy only.
First; Root it!!!
Download the z4Root App and do it with one click........painless and you are set free and on your way.
Second; Download One Click Lag Fix from the Market ,
this is a magical app for this Galaxy Tab , it unlocks its full potential. Thank you Ryan!!! Give him a raise please!
Just make sure BEFORE you run the app move ALL of your apps from the SD Card and place them back on your device, you can move them back to the SD Card after you run the app if you like. If you try and run this app with apps on the SD Card you will send your device into a boot loop so please make note of this.
Result; Snap and Speed Clocked 1900 on Quardrant, smooth scrolling and blazing speed browsing this has become a completely different device , I now love this Galaxy Tab and I am going to keep it!

Doesn't show in the market for me

one click lag fix app
if you search one click lag fix in the Market in comes up as RyanZA OCLF, this is the app you want for a very small price well worth it!
Could not find z4Root in the market but there should be a thread here in XDA or search it on your device and direct download the apk file

It's Wifi, not Wify.

you definitely do NOT need to pay for OCLF. it's widely available for free on the web.
also, i noticed no difference after OCLF (benchmarks don't mean **** for actual device usage), so I uninstalled it.

the app's needed

yeahhh i just got this device and the first night i noticed some lagg and even managed to lock it up twice
but about the above. if u need the apps u can find any paid app or missing apps from the market at 4shared.com. when u get find them you will have to wait 20 secs and then app should begain downloading (must allow 3rd party apps to be installed)
when looking for One Click Lag Fix search for OCLF
when looking for z4Root search for z4root
PS.... i would post links but cant till i hit the 8 message spam thing ill PM person who started the topic to see if he can include the files
AWSOME WORKS GUYS THANKS

I'm not sure if this really work or is a placebo effect only.
Anyways I try but my P-1010 lost the vibration effect , I uninstall the OCLF and this come back to normal.

oh RIGHT, that's also another reason I un-installed OCLF. losing haptic feedback was a dealbreaker for me.

Do I have to install EXT2 tool?
What is the function of EXT2?
I installed it but could not feel anything special.

WHY!

Tried several versions of z4Root and none seem to work for me - How does one tell if the root was done (took the temporary approach with z4Root v1.3)
I am specifically trying to find the Skype data file to delete so can re-install it
If the rooting is working then I simply can't find the file so missing something

u should be able to go to menu, settings, applications, manage applications then find skype and unistall
but to answear ur question directly when u install z4root and open the app it will say root,
if its already rooted u should see re-root or undo root..

Thanks
After rooting look for Skype to uninstall but not there. The issue is that if installed then uninstalled Skype seems to leave, based on other board comments, that residual Data file and thus can't be reinstalled. My understanding is that once rooted one can then locate that hidden file and delete it so can reinstall Skype but this doesn't seem to be the case, does it? I can't find that file.
When Temp rooted and restart z4Root it does offer an Re-root option so (now using V1.3) it has been rooted.
Perhaps there is a difference in rooting between Temp & Permanent but wouldn't think so
Appreciate your help

You need to be rooted and use an explorer, run a search for Skype and delete everything it finds.
