i would say this monday june 30 2008

Hello guys I am a noob but I will appreciate the help as well as a lot of us who are scared to post and be made fun of but here goes:

1. On the today screen there is an icon of a windy road next to sprint tv. I press it and it does nothing.

2. The gps on live search works. I installed google maps and my location does not work. I press use gps and it does not work. I tried messing with the gps setting and can't figure it out. Can someone help!



Thanks in advance!

Has anyone figured out what this icon is for? Is there some prog associated with it? Wonder why it was not included in the rom.

Pretty sure this was covered in the thread already, but that is the Sprint Navigation and you are experiencing the same problem I did, where the icon does not function properly. You will also notice that you do not have Opera mobile installed which is part of the rom.

This is due to the installation not completing sucessfully and the fix is to either reinstall the rom, or do a hard reset.

Haha....so I installed the newest ROM on my roommates phone....and after reloading all her old contacts and stuff using spb backup (which took 3 HOURS because i realized she had never ever cleared her text messages) I opened up her text messages and it was still threading them. Then my phone started beeping and i had 15 text messages come in from her phone. I looked at her sent messages, and her phone was resending out EVERY SINGLE TEXT MESSAGE EVER, lol. I quickly held down the end key to turn off the radio so it couldnt send any more out.

Has anyone else had this happen ever? She was kinda pissed because she was getting text messages from old boyfriends all morning, lol.

This happened because her "deleted items" folder was restored. You must NOT restore this folder, or it will send the messages again.

Once again, I guess I'm lucky.....I loaded up and have not had one issue with the new rom. I have not had to hard reset at all. It works flawlessly...GPS indoors in bout 15 seconds with no less than 5 satallites.....internet is fast and SPB mobileshell 2.1 with no battery loss or memory problems. Everything loaded the first time that customizations ran.....I am half Irish....

I've noticed my phone seems to be going into roaming more often than before. I'll have it in my pocket and it'll switch to roaming where it never did it before.

After I upgraded the ROM, it didn't update my PRL, so I manually upgraded it to 60613. I haven't tried going back to 60612, but if its a known issue with 60613, I might try going back.
