Hi everybody.

A newbie here. Just bought G5 a week ago and really loving it.

One suggestion, is there a way to split this thread into several topics? It's quite a work to go through all 129 pages on the Version 1 Official thread and now 32 pages on version 2. I might miss a very good and important link/tutorial/advice.

Just bought G5 yesterday.. very new to android and smartphone..
anyone can guide me how to install GPS? papago maybe??

dun think we can calibrate those sensors ourself..
if nt mistaken, the compass direction is based on the gps ...

u can learn a lot when goin thru all of them.. 

hi..finally, i managed to get my gps working..very happy liao becoz gps never lock before..but, it's very power hungry if using gps..

but today, i found minor bug regarding built in sensors..it's not properly calibrate especially the accelerometer and compass..

some pictures included(software used is 'phone tester'):




so, hope u guys can help me how to calibrated those sensors?
btw, my g5 is still virgin(not root yet)..tried using bubble software to calibrate but it seemed it's only calibrate for the software not the sensor.

tq

Heyy...some guy at xda-developer just managed to installes apps on SD card.

1 stupid question, where do you type commands like :

cd /system/sd/app
chown system.system *
chmod 644 *

?? on your G5 or PC?

to calibrate ur compass, u wave it around in a 8 figure.. If you dont know what i mean, here is a youtube link on how to do it..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP3d00Hr14o

First open your compass, then you press the menu button, then it will say calibrate,
once the popup shows, u do what the guy in the video do, and u should feel a vibrate.. That means that your compass is calibrated.

(u can do the calibration without opening the calibration menu, but you wont feel a vibrate..)

If your phone keeps on saying that abnormal field detected, and requires you to calibrate every time u turn on the compass, then what you do is
1. Calibrate the compass,
2. restart your device..

Hope this helps.

firmware is something like the OS of the phone...
normally ppl root to gain super user access to the phone.. benefit wise, we can delete system app/etc..
for now, rooting doesn't serve much purpose other than enable us to install other region firmware..

if there is nothin important on the phone, why don't you perform hard reset?
it will clear everything back to factory default.. cons is, u hv to reinstall all the app/etc..

Cannot detect ur microsd? sounds like u havent mounted ur sd yet. Have u tried mounting ur microsd from the dropdown menu? Or its easier to connect in ums mode.

Slide Lock is control by a individual apps, the apps is not function now.............you GF install some 3rd party screen lock apps? it might cause the crash

can you explain more about wifi tether?

i was trying link to LAN via swiFTP...but failed, haha

Upgrade ur line la SGPC. Streamyx might go on with the speed capping project which will make us . U can also try using a VPN.

Wifi tethering is using your phone as gateway to enable other device connect to internet.
Switch on your phone's data connection, the laptop able connect internet via wifi on your phone
