same here, but doesnt jump when i receive a sms, nice fix
[Nexus S Android Development] birkholze:
Maybe I'm just having trouble reading and understanding this from my nexus but does the second to last file apply this fix through recovery instead of the long edits detailed in the post? Or is this file needed in addition to the edits?
[Nexus S Android Development] thedauntlessone:
So instead of fr.pool.ntp.org, I'll be using ca.pool.ntp.org for Canada?
[Nexus S Android Development] SilverEagle:
Yes

here's the list http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@
[Nexus S Android Development] thedauntlessone:
Definitely see an improvement over stock settings.
[Nexus S Android Development] LovellKid:
Im not understanding here... US users use the .zip in OP? Or are we supposed to find a different one specific for us?
[Nexus S Android Development] SilverEagle:
You must modify the gps.conf file in the zip, the included file is for france users
[Nexus S Android Development] thedauntlessone:
Use notepad to open GPS.conf and change the France servers to USA servers
[Nexus S Android Development] birkholze:
OK I changed fr to us and it wouldn't flash. I'm going to guess that's because it doesn't work with NS4G.
[Nexus S Android Development] d0ugie:
So back in my dreaded WinMo days which I'd rather forget, every week someone came up with a new aGPS "hack" to make it work better and every time those who used it appeared to be quite convinced of how much better it made their phone perform. Me, I wrote it off to a widespread nerd placebo affect.

They were, I believe, all just changes of which aGPS servers to use. Never understood why AT&T and Microsoft couldn't simply do at least as good a job as XDA at selecting and rolling out the right server settings maybe using some sort of assisted GPS server DHCP kind of thing. Just like part of the XDA pileup of WinMo phones was these radio flashing threads with new radios for the more popular phones popping up every few weeks or so and everyone freaking out about how sweet it made their phone for reception, battery life, GPS and throughput. Yeah right buddy, it's your imagination. They even made radio trait polling threads in order to try to search for the truth by organizing opinion aggregation in vote form, as if that wouldn't further complicate the situation given that everyone had different locations and carriers etc, and in the same threads you'd get everyone saying Hey some radios work better for some and not others, you're a unique snowflake, try it yourself and see etc.

A lot of time, collectively, many man hours was devoted to this aGPS and radio stuff and never with any sort of official or even forum-level guidance from people who work for these various companies.

But glancing at the changes this thing makes, the apparent premise behind this of more finely localizing everyone's NTP server pools to their country or subcontinent or whatever, whatever the people devoted to organizing the NTP systems (fascinating stuff by the way), from what I understand about how GPS actually works and the whole speed of light thing, that actually makes some sense.

On my top five list of complaints about the Nexus S versus the Nexus One is the weirdly poor GPS. Fortunately that deficit comes at the time of pretty good wifi location thanks to Google's evil wardriving so it's not that big a deal, but it is to me given that this is a Nexus phone. Okay so it doesn't have HSPA+ and two cores and a few other disappointments but come on, such a crappy GPS Samsung? What gives? Another thing on my top five is the compass. Mine's off by about 40 degrees. Wtf? Searched around looking for some sort of fix to it, found instead just many other people with the same complaint. As for the remaining three on the top five, I can't think of anything off hand.

Anyway I tweaked this thing as instructed, flashed, guess I should stop rambling and give it a test drive.

Thank you OP.
[Nexus S Android Development] d0ugie:
mirror NA and US

Took the liberty in editing the gps.conf in the zip for the [0-3].north-america.pool.ntp.org and another which is more specific to a round robin pool in the United States (find more on ntp.org) and dropped them on my server so you don't have to use rapidshare and captchas, let me know if you want me to host more (or if you don't want me to host them):

North America

http://mirror.batteryboss.org/lbstestmode_gpsconf_NorthAmerica_NEXUS_S_IT4ALii3EN_update.zip

United States pool

http://mirror.batteryboss.org/lbstestmode_gpsconf_UnitedStates_NEXUS_S_IT4ALii3EN_update.zip

the original FR from OP:

http://mirror.batteryboss.org/lbstestmode_gpsconf_fr_NEXUS_S_IT4ALii3EN_update.zip

and the undo from OP:

http://mirror.batteryboss.org/UNDO_lbstestmode_gpsconf_fr_NEXUS_S_IT4ALii3EN_update.zip

If you want to get obsessive over this, do hostname and geo lookups of the new IPs you get each time you do a new host / nslookup of one of these *pool.ntp.org things, it's interesting. For example,

root@batteryboss:~/ht# host 0.us.pool.ntp.org

0.us.pool.ntp.org has address 169.229.70.64, ntp2.Housing.Berkeley.EDU, Oakland, CA

0.us.pool.ntp.org has address 208.75.88.4, clock.trit.net, New York, NY

0.us.pool.ntp.org has address 66.7.96.2, tssnet1.tss.net, Westport, WA

Do it again, different array:

0.us.pool.ntp.org has address 173.255.199.79 -- smtp.envirahost.com -- Absecon, NJ

0.us.pool.ntp.org has address 208.75.88.4 -- clock.trit.net, New York, NY (repeat)

0.us.pool.ntp.org has address 67.18.187.111 -- cheezum.mattnordhoff.com -- Houston, TX

I suppose if you stay in one part of the country and you suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder specific to chronology maybe you'd want to hunt through servers like this and ping them from your phone (not necessarily the closest geographically, the route of your phone's cellular data is not necessarily the same path your wifi connection leads you to the Internet... whatever, clocksync ftw, rapidshare sucks, thanks again OP, wikipedia ntp if you are high on time and low on things to wikipedia.

Man I wish you guys would ask me to mirror your stuff instead of putting your good work onto crap like rapidshare, I've got plenty of megabits to go around and nothing but uptime, want nothing in return, give you logs, whatever. I appreciate your hard work and talent, makes me feel like I'm at least trying to offer a gesture of gratitude. I can handle large files too, not just zips of conf text files.
[Nexus S Android Development] Xene55:
Is this the same thing as what this app achieves? https://market.android.com/details?id=com.Double.FasterFix
[Nexus S Android Development] thedauntlessone:
It seems like the same thing.
[Nexus S Android Development] SilverEagle:
actually that app only modifies the ntppool, with lbstestmode you can tweak a bit more
[Nexus S Android Development] DarkManX4lf:
I just used this "fix" and it really doesnt help much. I still can't get a signal lock while indoors....yes I know gps isn't meant to be used indoors....but I actually use GPS with tasker to set profiles....like while I'm at work gps location set screen brightness to low, ringer off, vibrate on...etc....

I was able to get indoors gps lock on my evo without an issue...
[Nexus S Android Development] fallenguru:
As for the /system/etc/gps.conf tweaks:

Setting NTP_SERVER to something closer should help and can't hurt.

Where did you get the other settings (the ones that don't have a default entry, e. g. INTERMEDIATE_POS, ENABLE_WIPER, ...) from? Is there any doculentation for this file?

Second, what about /system/vendor/etc/gps.xml (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881941), has anyone tried messing with it? FWIW, I've modified mine (i9023, GRJ22) as follows and the accuracy seems to be markedly better now, even though it still jumps around a fair bit. Or maybe it's the placebo effect. :p Sensitivity of course is just as bad as ever.

NOTE: If you try this, make a backup first!

A little more information on how the GPS stack works and where it actually gets its configuration from would be nice. There's the .conf file, the .xml file, possibly a few settings in NVRAM - hell if I know what's actually applied.
[Nexus S Android Development] iboj007:
Hoping to bring this thread back to life.

After having the i9020a for 2 weeks now, I've noticed that the GPS is far inferior to the Nexus One that I came from and I wanted to try and make it work as best I can.

I'm in the United States (Maryland) and on AT&T
[Nexus S Android Development] InMyBedNow:
GPS Fix

This will only give you a faster fix if you live in France/Europe. Anybody in Canada, USA or anything else will have to change the "0.fr.pool.ntp.org" to the one dedicated to their country. Just wanted to let you know, because if you live in USA, Canada, Mexico or any country far away, you'll be standing outside for 10 years and you still wont get a fix. Thanks for sharing though !
[Nexus S Android Development] lupoalberto12:
Hello,

I followed this guide but It seems that it didn't change.

Is there another solution?

After few minutes after hooking the satellites, it loses the GPS signal; after one(/two) minute(s), it recovers it.

Why?

Thank you.

It is a Nexus S i9023 with stock rom (Gingerbread 2.3.6) and recovery "ClockWorkMod" (it is root).

Bye!

! :) !
[Nexus S Android Development] djjonastybe:
Take off the back cover of your nexus s until you found all satellites or have a lock on. Then put it back on.

I have better reception without back cover
[Nexus S Android Development] IT4ALii3EN:
New version v3

* removed lbstestmode

* Use GPS Status for the gps's data

* better installation with the .zip (is cleaned)

From experience, these data remain effective for 2-3 days, so the ideal is to make a passage through gps status every time if too much time has elapsed since the last use.

I do an update v4 in severals weeks, may be for ICS if it's necessary.
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
It is a plastic cover (grin)

Bounced off a tower to a forum near you!
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
Lol yeah its probably linked to the amount of time it takes to remove and replace the cover!
[General Questions and Answers] Alex1x:
Hello,

Long time reader/fan XDA first time post.

I'm new to root, its been couple of weeks since I rooted my htc evo.

I installed Vaelpak 3.2 remastered RC2 (figured its the newest?)

Netarchy 4.3.4

Problem, flash videos are not playing, I tried different browsers still gives me the blue ?

I love this rom, wondering if there is a fix and how?

Sorry if this is repeat question, searched but couldn't find detailed fix.

Thanks in advance, you guys are awesome.
[General Questions and Answers] adamf663:
serious problems

I've been using 3.2 RC2 since it was released and it works very well for the most part with the following exceptions.

1) wifi often doesn't connect automatically when entering a known wifi area. The wifi setup screen says "scanning" forever. If I connect manually, or turn wifi off then back on it works.

2) more seriously: the phone seems to run out of memory and gets incredibly sluggish.

Trying to switch to a different page of icons can take a 20 seconds.

The cpu will go to 100% and 'top' says that the android system/htc checkin process is using it all. Usually I have to pull the battery to regain control.

3) about every 4-5 days when I go to use the phone, I'll discover that it has crashed and hung during restart. It'll be displaying the vael pak logo and the swilrling diamond busy indicator. I have to pull the battery to regain control.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jk_yang1:
Hello XDA.

i have a Mytouch 3G 32B unlocked on att and i am having issues running any sense run.

My radio is 2.22.27.08

my HBOOT is 1.33.0013d (SAPP30000)

i have tried every scene rom i have seen and cant get anywhere with thim, they flash and then the phone reboots

i have included a pic of my HBOOT SCREEN

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] notaliberal:
Have you tried using a ROM that specifically states it has been ported for radio 2708? That is an absolute MUST, or it will not work. Look for any ROM that contains 2708 in its name...

Good luck,
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Alternatively you should be able to just flash a 2708 kernel after flashing the ROM to get booted.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jk_yang1:
ok thanks for the info.. i did try one sense rom that said it needed the radio and spl i have and also tried to flash a Kernal and still nothing, i am sure i am not flashing the right kernel, do you know one that would work for 32B and scene roms.

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AiZ_04:
Try this kernel, its the 3rd one. Though I dont know if it will work with a sense rom, cause to be honest sense roms are way too lagy... I use GingerYoshi, and its awesome!

[Thunderbolt General] irie27:
Ever since I bought my Thunderbolt, I've had issues with the voicemail. If I use the HTC voicemail, or Google voice, there is static. However, if I dial into my voicemail it sounds fine. I'm running bamf 1.6 remix but before I was rooted in had the same problem. Are there any fixes?
[General Questions and Answers] Chaosz-X:
A friend of mine wants to buy a Desire S. He won't have 3G in his subscription for the mobile phone. In other words: the phone could only have an internet-connection by using WiFi.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have a WiFi access point in his house, because his father can not stand the radiation. All the internet-connections in his house are wired, and none of the neighbours have an unsecured WiFi access point.

So, this would mean he can't use the market, because the phone can't be connected to internet at his house. Ofcourse, he could download apps at school or at one of his friend's houses, but this is a bit unpractical.

In other words; I am looking for a certain app on the PC or a website, which can browse through the Market, and download the APKs, so he can install them manually (only the free ones ofcourse).

I already checked AndroLib and Cyrket, but none of them provides a downloadlink, only a QR-code.

Is there any alternative, or is the only way of downloading apps at his house searching APKs manually by using Google?

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] gio22:
That's a tough one. You can browse the market from any browser. You just need to go to https://market.android.com/.

However, when you "purchase" an app, it will only send via cellular, not internet.

I wish you luck on this.
[General Questions and Answers] l4g4rt0:
Well, you could do that on Nokia phones by accessing the 'ovi' site and using some parameters to make the site "think" you were accessing using a mobile phone. In Android Market I don't think you can do that... But there's a way to get the programs needed: with YOUR help !!! :)

If you have an Android phone, you can download the apps he needs and then backup them using Titanium Backup or App Backup and Reinstall. The 'apk' files will be saved in a directory and you can send them to your friend by bluetooth, or put then on a usb pen...

But... let me tell you this: the Android phone relies SO MUCH in internet data that not having wifi nor 3g subscription is almost a crime, specially having a Desire S !!! :)
[General Questions and Answers] Chaosz-X:
Thanks for the help guys! :D

Guess I'll have to help him whenever he wants new apps, but that isn't a big deal.

At least there is another one who switched to Android :)
[General Questions and Answers] juliosamac:
just google the file and youll get the app. :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] alexdiaz:
Aloha! :D

This is my ported theme from the 2.2 world to 2.3.

It's pretty much the same as my Froyo one as you can see HERE, only a few changes. Works fine and no bugs so far.

Flash the .zip from recovery (make sure signature verification is turned off!), reboot and wait until you see the lockscreen.

You need a rooted device for this to work.

If you update, download the zip from here and install it all over again(it will install only modified apk's so it won't take long)

If you don't like the Windows Phone 7 Fonts you can revert back to Android fonts by clicking here !

Then you are ready to go!

Thanks for another very nice theme Alex Diaz. Yours are always my favorite - elegant and blue is my favorite colour.

any ideas on why the new mms.apk FC's on LeeDroid GB rom?? also have you noticed the screen that comes up when you long press the power btn? 3 of the icons are mismatched white icons that dont match your them? and do you think you can list the changes in the new version 9 that you reup'd? thank you very much for everything you do for us here!!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
hi

your theme is awesome!! thanks a lot for all the effort that u put in fr the members here!

one bug that ive found is in the camcorder app... when u start the camcorder and start taking a video it crashes.. anything u can do to fix tht?

btw which ROM is ur theme based on? because in the camcorder app there is a option to change from .3gp to .mp4 which wasnt there in the stock camcorder app or in Leedroid's ROM...

Thanks!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] dr.m0x:
Just noticed the video camera force closes as well. On all resolutions except the lowest.

Sent from my Gingerbread loaded Desire HD.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] alexdiaz:
No idea why it fc's, and I haven't noticed, I don't have a DHD to test, only Desire ported roms. Please replace your apps that fc with stock one from your rom.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] alexdiaz:
Replace with stock one for the moment, the camera app is what I use on my Desire and it's modded for mp4. I will create the v10 with Lee DHD as base so there should be no more errors, but don't know when, next 3-4 days I guess, it needs some work and I don't have a DHD to test. Saw that the 3.0 was fully ported by capy to DHD, when it's ported to Desire I will test and make a great theme for it.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] alexdiaz:
Update!

Updated, small fixes for framework and com.htc.resources, updated lockscreen & messages/mms app. Check first post.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
i tried flashing ur theme v10 but when i flash it using cwm 3.0.2.6 it gives me bootloops...

EDIT: just flashed v9 and it works! but v10 still not working :( .... plz cud u check this out..

thanks!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] alexdiaz:
Keep v09 for the moment until proper upgrades of the roms will appear with clean framework-res and com.htc.resources, now all roms from here have modified frameworks.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mohit1234:
oh ok... im using Leedroid 3.0.3

Your theme contains the framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk so it should overwrite the one in the rom, right? so in tht case how wud a modified framework affect your theme? cos I've been using Leedroid always with your theme and its always worked..

anyways its ok. ill stick to v9 for now..

Thanks! :)

Hi

I really appreciate all the effort you put in this theme, but unfortunately none of the versions after v9 are working on Leedroid ROM. I think Lee will be releasing a new ROM update based on the new OTA, so will u make this theme with the new OTA base?

I really hope you do, because I really like your theme a lot.

So i downloaded the minimal text "dirty" icon pack and am trying to change my launcher pro icons.

The problem is that the icons are black and my phone uses cyanogenmod 7's gallery app to sort through the icon files...so the picture/icon background in gallery is black..and the icons are black...leaving me with a black on black and no idea what they are.

How is everyone getting around this? is there a way to change the black background in cyanogenmod 7's gallery app?!
