UPDATE: A Little bit closer. :D

I successfully updated the SPL / Radio(1.70.Olinex) / SIM Unlocked using KaiserUnlocker.exe

Updated the bootloader to 3.56 Hard SPL nostuckinSPL / Force USB via SD card

Updated the radio from 170.0linex to 1.70.19.09 via SD CARD

For any Windows 7 x64 users attempting to Flash their Kaiser, be sure to have a look at [TUT] Dummies guide: updating HTC USB Sync Drivers.

I should have made a bigger mental note when after I installed WMDC 6.1, Windows FAILED to install the correct driver the first time I connected my phone to the PC in bootloader mode. The above thread explains the process of booting Windows 7 in a special mode, in order to force customized drivers to be installed on your machine, the hard way. I followed the steps until about step 12 (my device manager never yellow flagged anything). According to the thread, it looked like it failed, so I resorted to the next best thing. Keep the phone in bootloader and unplug and replug to different usb ports praying that my "forced-on" drivers would finally recognize the damn thing. Success, it finally did and Windows started loading the

Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM

Windows driver. Launching KaiserUnlocker.exe took it from there, albiet with one confusing caveat... IN the first part of step 1, KaiserUnlocker will tell you that you need to unplug and replug your usb during the second-half of step one. Okay, no problem. It fails to tell you that you're going to do this "uplug and replug" at the same time you'll be staring at text in red saying DO NOT UNPLUG OR LAUNCH ANY PROGRAMS!

However, unplugging and replugging is necessary in order to trigger Windows to use the bootloader drivers to communicate.

Hi Everybody,

I am very interested in purchasing the Tmo-US version of this phone when it is avaliable and I would like to know how is the GPS on these phones? How fast does it lock and for those who are coming from SGS, can you see a big difference in GPS performance? I am currently using a SGS vibrant on tmo-us and GPS is very bad on it. Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] le3ky:
better than thge galaxy s.

First time i used it it took like 10 minutes to lock on lol, but then each time after that pretty much instant (or close enough)!
[LG Optimus 2x] akira de aimbuster:
Not perfect for mine, sometimes under the sky also cant lock any satellite or scan no satellite in car. But other people are getting pretty good result though. That's why i am not sure it's my problem or not.
[LG Optimus 2x] rQvsnaps:
I edited the gps.conf file for my location (not sure if neccesary, but had the file from my previous HD2 so figured wtf..)

gps locks in 15 seconds when outside
[LG Optimus 2x] vicster:
Mine is MUCH snappier than my previous HTC desire
[LG Optimus 2x] sebsal:
Best gps I've experienced on a phone. Better than my omnia, hero and my wife's galaxy s, which is terrible
[LG Optimus 2x] ceroglu:
Thanks for the quick replies. I am sure with some new updates the performance will improve even better. I cant wait to get my hands on G2x now.
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
Also extremely happy with the GPS. Using MileageTrac everyday, and the GPS locks within 3-4 secs every time.
[LG Optimus 2x] raf2k:
GPS is perfect. It locks satellites in 7-20 seconds. Accuracy is 5m.
[LG Optimus 2x] le3ky:
so a few more uses and yeah still instant. thumbs up!
[LG Optimus 2x] akira de aimbuster:
for those who got fast gps fix time, may I know what baseband are you guys using?
[LG Optimus 2x] pascaliut:
Can it be used for car navigation like the Desire HD? Anyone tried it?
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
I think I fixed mine.

Solution was (at least one among them)

- push appropriate gps.conf to /system/etc

- modify APN type of Mobile data to "default,supl"

- turn off wireless while aquiring GPS fix

My GPS now fixes within seconds with mobile data enabled.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mr. Spontaneous:
Have any of you tried GPS Status? It helped alleviate slow-to-lock AGPS issues on my Incredible. If you launch the app, it forces a new download of the carrier's GPS file. GPS lock went from 2-3 minutes on some buggy ROMs to under 20 seconds.

It's not the most elegant of solutions, but it works.
[LG Optimus 2x] le3ky:
yup, quite a few times works great.
[LG Optimus 2x] Trentors:
I agree. Use it everyday. It seems more stable than the DHD with better signal lock.
[LG Optimus 2x] Tarzanman:
The demo unit at the T-mobile store I went to yesterday had a horrible GPS.

It would freeze up google maps and wouldn't lock AT ALL when the satellite antennae was turned on.

With the antennae turned on, google maps worked, but the circle for your location was huge (obviously).
[LG Optimus 2x] Joe Smithereens:
Were you trying to use it indoors or did they let you take it outside to test it out?
[LG Optimus 2x] samnada:
Did you try GPS on any other phones? Signal could have been bad inside the building.

Being a Vibrant owner, with all its GPS issues, I'm very interested in how the this works on the G2X before I consider switching.

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] mikeyd85:
Worked fine whilst I was out today. Only problem was a lack of a data connection. :p
[LG Optimus 2x] SiL3nTKiLL:
miens decent, but not great
[LG Optimus 2x] samnada:
How's it compare to your HTC's?

If the G2X GPS isn't significantly better than my Vibrant that's a showstopper for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] VICosPhi:
Tested it inside tmobile store and it was stuck on 300 meters. Wish I could have taken it outside. The phone feels solid and superfast otherwise.
[LG Optimus 2x] Tarzanman:
I was indoors, but in the same location where I have tested the GPS on a Vibrant and a G1 phone.

It is possible to get a lock in that building. Early indications are that the G2X GPS is at least as bad as the Vibrant.... but the model I looked at clearly had an issue.

Make sure you try before you buy.

Hello,

Please try my phone book app for android 2.1 or higher. With this latest release Komodo now allows you to edit your google contacts much faster than the default contact app. Anyone with lots of contacts on their android phone will find my app much better.

New features include:

Also Komodo is under heavy development at the moment and im listening closely to any feature requests or bug reports that users have.

Thanks!

Ps. If this is not the right forum for this type of submission please let me know and i will gladly remove it.
[HTC Incredible S] chobie:
I've noticed that the camera of the IS blur parts of photos a lot. I noticed this problem on subjects with finer details eg. skin, rocks etc. It tends to blur or supress the finer details within the subject making them unacceptably too soft.

Opinions?

EDIT: I meant to say NOISE REDUCTION :)
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
Nothing like this for me ... Pictures are perfect ... I love the cam ... Maybe its cuz u zoom in too much or something.:P
[HTC Incredible S] chobie:
Hmmm, I never zoom though.
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
Or maybe its just our diff opinions ... For me its perfect ... Maybe u expected something better :D
[HTC Incredible S] nikant:
I agree.. I'm a photographer and would love to use the IS camera for some projects.. they obviously -in my eyes- compress too much.. It's impossible for an 8MP camera to produce files under 1MB..

Was'nt there a patch for that or is it only for rooted phones?
[HTC Incredible S] vontdeux:
Quoted For Truth
[HTC Incredible S] chobie:
I hope this is just a software problem and hopefully they could patch it via an update.
[HTC Incredible S] DaanJordaan:
I'm no photographer, but I noticed the file size as well, too much compression.

And waaaay to much noise reduction.

Also, you can switch of standard widescreen to normal 4:3 which results in this:

5:3 = 3264 x 1952 = 6371328 = 6.4 megapixel

4:3 = 3264 x 2448 = 7990272 = 8.0 megapixel

Hopefully we can turn off noise reduction and/or compression in the next update. Shouldn't be too hard for HTC to disable stuff right:p
[HTC Incredible S] Albert Poon:
Yes... I just upgraded from HTC Desire and I found that pics are not as detailed as before...

The compression thing should be an option, like many other DC.
[HTC Incredible S] orbitech-x10:
I noticed the same with my IS...
[HTC Incredible S] chobie:
My Camera 360 app's night enhancement mode is unusable now.

My N1 took beautiful sharp pictures of this same spot I took.

Now it's all blocky, soft, and washed out even though I've maxed out the resolution and size.

This makes me mad!

If it can take macroshots well, why can't it take landscape / non-macroshots well too?

Here's the patch for CM7 (N1). Root is required as it is replacing a file in the /system partition.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011810
[HTC Incredible S] chobie:
We dont have root yet though. Makes me sadder =/

HTC should update the firmware and fix this themselves. I wonder if theyll have this problem on Verizon's Incredible 2.
[HTC Incredible S] nikant:
I've send an email to HTC support just out of curiosity of their official response.. Although I don't believe they'll say something significant. Companies tend to defend their choices..
[HTC Incredible S] wh323:
when i load the photos to my laptop, i found all of them a little bit red...
[HTC Incredible S] Brucew0617:
I really can not be satisfied with this so-called 8 mega-pixel camera.
[HTC Incredible S] nikant:
got a reply today.. they asked me for samples of photos that show the problem.. I sent them.. let's see..
[HTC Incredible S] Albert Poon:
The most terrible scenario is using zoom. You would want to move forward a few steps, it entirely defeats the purpose of zoom.
[HTC Incredible S] chobie:
We should rally this and send more samples to them.

What email contact did you guys use?

Hopefully they patch this with the Gingerbread update!
[HTC Incredible S] Brucew0617:
Maybe they had used to the bad quality of camera, because from now on, HTC is really not good at the entertainment field in mobile phone, no matter camera or music.:o
[HTC Incredible S] nikant:
I have no direct email.. I used the support form in htc.com and they opened a ticket for support. After that you use htc.com which has forms to reply to your tickets.
[HTC Incredible S] chobie:
Hmm, I think the camera is capable, because with perfect lighting, macro shots look actually look good.
[HTC Incredible S] Albert Poon:
Well I disagree... I found that IS sounds better Desire when playing music, even I am not using the equalizer...
[HTC Incredible S] nikant:
new reply: They asked some info about my software version and said they'll escalate this. Whatever that means..
[HTC Incredible S] chobie:
Any updates?
[HTC Incredible S] nikant:
Unfortunately no..
[HTC Incredible S] spikydoc:
even i am waiting for an update..has anybody seen pinkish hue in photographs..it comes when u click during excessive sunlight and focus dusty surfaces or even ground.
[HTC Incredible S] chobie:
The shutter speed is too slow that sometimes photos appear out of focus and all blurry. That's why HTC Support recommends setting autofocus to off.

You can clearly see the slow shutter speed problem using third party apps like Camera 360 wherein before it even snaps the picture, the phone's camera has yet to set its focus on the subject.

And the compression and noise reduction the software does just adds to the blurry image. :(
[HTC Incredible S] htcnewbie99:
The back camera sucks, the phone try to remove the noise too much that it makes the picture blurry and not so sharp. I wish it was an option. I really want to change it. Anyone know how?
[HTC Incredible S] hussainmushahid:
so using a 3rd party camera application won't fix this? sad.
[HTC Incredible S] pakman00:
there is a setting in camera "auto enhance" which appears to be the noise reduction setting. Turn it off on a dark photo and you can really see how ugly the noise can be!!;)
[HTC Incredible S] hussainmushahid:
it does improve the quality a bit but not totally.
[HTC Incredible S] htcnewbie99:
Oh why didn't I notice that! :p

Thank you!

I have looked around and tried the available transparent apps for other Android devices and so far the only one I have found that works on the G Tablet is the Pandora app. I really would like to find some more. If anyone has the apk's please post. Thank you in advance!!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
here is a version of the news/weather aka genie widget that is transparent..

you have to manually copy to the system/app with root explorer. and reboot.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] drum747:
Thanks Igkagn! I appreciate it! I have a transparent version of the XDA app on my X that I love but it wont work on the g tablet. I would love to find one that worked. Thanks again.

Come on guys, quit holding out! Thanks!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] couchmonkey:
i'm new here, pardon the question, but what is a transparent app?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] drum747:
It's an app that is transparent. You can see your wallpaper instead of a solid background. I have an XDA app on my Droid X that is transparent except for the writing and a market that is transparent as well but they wont run on my g tablet so I was hoping more people might have the apps that would work on the g tablet. As you can see, not so much. Hmmmm
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
i also use beautiful widgets that has an option to set the weather/clock/cal widget as transparent

also use set cpu widget which has an optoin for transparent

also use pure calendar widget that has a transparent background.

but these are all stock avail. in the marketplace..

use to have a hacked facebook widget that was transparent.. but not for froyo. or latest version.

stiull looking for a theme or a version of a theme with a transparent notification bar for gtab. vegan 5.11 but have been unable to find one.

by the way not using xda app but using a bought version of tapatalk.. it does run fine on the gtrablet.. recommend youpick it up.. xda is a customized scalled down version of tapatalk.

Enjoy Guys :) Just flash like a Regular ROM.

:EDIT

Hey guys. Well there seems to be errors flashing this onto a rom none other than Shokouhi's rom so for now that's what its supported for. Please ask for requests so I can try and make one for that rom that your running if your not on his rom. Thanks!

Hi. I installed your Shokouhi_Saga_G2_Gingerbread_Sense_2.0 and its working perfect. Its simply superb. The problem i am facing is that after installing this stock gingerbread theme my keyboard backlight isnt functioning anymore. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Shaquiel Harris:
Awesome, I'm glad you like it. Did the backlights stop working right after the flash? Also, only this theme is from me. The actual 2.0 ROM is by Shokouhi. That actually is a Rom issue, not my theme. Maybe try and reflash the actual rom then my theme and see how it is.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] angyl25:
Thank you for the theme.... Really liking it.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] saup:
When i install the rom the light works fine. Its only when i install this theme the backlight stops working. I flashed the rom first only and then the theme and did this twice still the same problem. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shokouhi:
Thanks for clarifying this!

installed it like any other rom and got sruck on boot screen :S

reflashing....

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Brazildiogo732:
Agree 100%

Yes I agreee 100000 percent, making the pull down menu a solid color would MAKE this mod, pleaseeeee make one that is solid or teach us how!! :) GREAT mod though! Looks great!!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] bstylz911:
same issue here
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Shaquiel Harris:
I made this mod for shokouhi's rom. Honestly running it on different roms might not work. Tell me what roms your running and I will try and make seperate versions for you guys with the problems. And what color do you guys want the pull down to be?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] nonione:
im running ginger sense villain v3.0 or something like that lol the one from Homersp

im ok with the transparent pulldown :)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] AllWin:
Then people should use it ONLY with Shokouhi's ROM . You can't simply take SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from one ROM and throw into other ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shokouhi:
Yeah it does not work this simple. You need to make one for that rom. So best of luck!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
I had an 002 until 2 weeks ago, but I don't see why the hardware version is important. Try different kernel combos. Also, people have stated that using the newer 1.90 PRI drains the battery faster. Try experimenting with the 1.77 PRI and different kernels until you find something that improves the battery life. I'm very happy with my set up. Currently I'm running Netarchy's 4.3.4-cfs-nohavs-suv-nosbc and I'm happy with it.
