I use GPS Test from the market, provides more info but you can also manually update the AGPS database, which helps enormously
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
hmm..how to do that?
[HTC Desire S] billytkid:
Start GPS test, click on menu, then click on 'update AGPS'

When I first got the DS I was massively annoyed with the GPS performance, I had a Nexus One which got a fix in seconds and the DS was taking minutes, if indeed it ever works. Actually using both side by side I can see that the signal strength on the DS is far far worse.

Using GPS test however now means its perfectly usable.

Another thing which will help people is leave your WIFI on, this helps the phone with its location a lot.
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
i dont have that option..is this app u talking about GPS Test?
[HTC Desire S] billytkid:
Yep, thats the one

Update AGPS is the massive button on top right of the settings page
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
there is no such thing in my settings....
[HTC Desire S] billytkid:
Very strange
[HTC Desire S] det66:

I never really tried GPS, at home it finds me fine on Google Maps but thats probably through WiFi, I went out today with Run Keeper, for a 30min run I got a constant NO GPS SIGNAL, so I doubt mine is also fooked
[HTC Desire S] billytkid:
Hiya,

bit confused 'doubt mine is also fooked' means that its likely yours is working, but it isnt..

See the posts above, use one of these bits of software and it should get you working ok

GPS Problem

Had the same problem, no fix possible

Downloade GPSFIX from android market, and......

problem solved !!!

:D
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Just wanted to say thanks. GPS performance on custom ROMs seemed a little sluggish compared to the factory installed ROM, running GPSFix fixed this nicely and my DS now gets a 7+ lock outside in less than 30 seconds.

Appriciate it =)
[HTC Desire S] Nazri786:
Just want to share,there is app called "FasterFix" in android market,I've tried and its work great,before this had to wait about 20 minutes to get gps fixed,after just 2 minutes longest...you need root access..
[HTC Desire S] slugger09:
Ok I am having issues, was out and about today and tried using google maps while it would find my position it would keep loosing GPS signal and only update every couple of mins.

I tried GPSFIX and it can't get a fix, left it on for 5 mins and gave up. GPS Test also finds nothing
[HTC Desire S] slugger09:
I ran GPSFix for the full 15mins, what exactly is it supposed to do? When it finished what it was doing the map behind still showed a location 30 mile away I was at today

Trying to work out which ROMs to use to flash my Orange Branded Galaxy S. They have pre-installed loads of rubbish on it, and I'd rather not have to deal with that!

Read this article, but it didn't answer my question: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=780753

I want to install a custom fast slick ROM, and Darkys seems to be well recommended for this. The question is, which one to use safely? I have rooted with OneClick.

My current system info:

Firmware version: 2.2.1

Baseband version: I9000BVJP4

[LG Optimus 2x] mioshy:
Hi,

I would like to know if it was possible to use internal storage as "main" sdcard with CM7, like it used to be in stock rom ?
[LG Optimus 2x] wesjdj:
Not sure if you can fully, when I booted into ClockwordMod without the SD card in it wouldn't flash the device because there was no SD card inserted. When you mount it on the PC you get the SD card and the internal memory separate, so I'm sure you can still put music on & all other sutff.
[LG Optimus 2x] mioshy:
I know what you mean but I would use the internal storage as "main" storage, for exemple put pictures and games data on it, automatically, and access SD card through the "external_sd" folder.
[LG Optimus 2x] helmi666:
yes its possible. just copy the attached file using Root explorer to system/etc
[LG Optimus 2x] mioshy:
Seems to work fine, thx !

i got the thunderbolt tuesday and gps has yet to work. in google maps or in navigation. any ideas?

GPS has been pretty rough for a lot of TB owners. Upgrading to the leaked radio helped quite a bit for me. You can also search the forum as there are a number of workarounds and tips out there for GPS issues.
[Thunderbolt General] DroidTh3ory:
If you are rooted you can edit the GPS.conf file with root explorer... Changing North America to US…Reboot, then download GPS Status from Market and run it once. It will download assistance data and give you your lock. (Do this outside)

After that GPS locks pretty quick.

You may continue to use Powertutor however we

Maybe the calculations are not so accurate, but I will try it..

pprakash, this is cool, but I think this not provide exactly statistics about the battery

consumption for each of the processes running on the phone..
[General Questions and Answers] pprakash:
@daim0nas this provides a wealth of info. Only thing is you need to select the right drop down options. When ever I have any high battery drain problems. I usually look at Partial Wake processes, which will hold the phone from going to complete standby.
[General Questions and Answers] ErockGineer:
Not sure if this is the best solution, but I believe you said your running an HTC Hero right. If your interested in rooting and flashing a custom ROM on your phone, you could upgrade to Froyo or even Gingerbread perhaps. Built into either operating system is the ability to check exactly what is using battery and what percentage of your battery was used by it. Great feature

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joehempel:
I'm wondering if I'm able to install an Overclock Kernel with this.

I'm using the Size-Agnostic SD Card image that loads CM7's latest build from the SD Card.

So I don't even know if the kernel would work for that, if so, how do I get it back to where I can select the kernal by booting with the SD Card? Obviously if I put another boot SD Card in it wouldn't work because the OS is missing.

Any help would be great, I'm just a little confused on all of this.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] case-sensitive:
I've running dal's 4/24 OC kernel and it's great! You do have to update the kernel via adb (as opposed to just flashing a zip); see DizzyDen's excellent instruction in post #2231 of

Good luck!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joehempel:
Hmmm......okay. I didn't do anything with ADB, according to this thread (They way I did the Install):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957

I only had to replace the uImage file. And I did that on my PC before putting the card back in my nook. Changed the top speed to 925 rather than 800, and the min is set to 300. Thanks for letting me know about ADB!! I've got to get my PC setup to do that, I always get an error when trying to run it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] case-sensitive:
I feel your pain. Initially I tried to manually replace the uImage only and then I got into trouble with quadrant -- see the top of post #2231 in the link I gave you. DizzyDen points out that addition files need to be updated (see post #2258 of the same thread), which is where ADB comes in (the quadrant went away after I updated the kernel via ADB).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joehempel:
Soo.....what's quadrant? I'm guessing a benchmark utility?

Also did you see increased battery life with the Overclocking?

I really only read on my Nook Color, so I'm hoping that it keeps it right around the 300Mhz and will increase the life.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBN1:
You can run the 4/4 stable overclock kernel by just replacing the Uimage, it works fine as that is what I did. That procedure does not work with the test kernels though, and you apparently have to use the adb push method above.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joehempel:
Are the nightlys considered test kernels?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joehempel:
My problem with ADB right now is that I've got Java SDK installed, but when installing the ADB kit it says that I DON'T have it installed....huh??
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robot8:
No. CM7 nightly builds come with their own kernels. The OC kernels are what you put on to replace them. That is why, every time you update a new nightly, you need to reinstall the OC kernel.

The latest stable OC kernel is dated 4/4, the latest OC test kernel is dated 4/24.

For OC kernels up to 4/4, you can simply replace the uImage and you will have an OC kernel. For the test OC kernels, you will also need to adb push the system files that come with it or you will not be able to boot.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robot8:
Quadrant is a benchmarking app, yes.

Battery life would depend on how you set the CPU parameters. There should not be any difference between non-OC or OC kernels if you set max cpu cap at 800/950Mhz. But why limit it when you run an OC kernel?

Even if you set max cpu at 1.1/1.3Ghz with the OC kernel, you can set the governor at Conservative and on light usage it will not ramp up a lot.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joehempel:
Okay, thanks.

I'll just keep the one I have, it doesn't seem like I need to have it done via ADB, I don't plan on using my Nook Color as a tablet, I would rather have it clocked down to save battery.

I didn't look real close, bit when I was viewing dmesg output after boot I could see a line near the top that showed the 1GB (and two numbers that added up to 1GB). I believe that RAM is reserved for video on start up.

1gb ram

Also it is a bit big, doesn't fit on the phone properly

lol

i can;t agree more. i emailed them and this is the response i got:

Hello,

we are sorry, that you are not satisfied with our product.

The ordered type of screen protector has no hard-coated surface. Therefore, it is not scratch-proofed and we cannot accept a claim in this matter.

Alternative we can recommend to you our Vikuiti display protection film ADQC27 for this device. This film is crystal clear, anti-reflective, scratch-proof and extremely easy to apply without bubbles. More information is available at

The price for this film would be 10.95€ for 1 film or 21.90€ for 3 films, including shipping charges. Since your satisfaction is important to us, we will credit the amount of the article ordered first to 100% against a new order of this model as a gesture of goodwill.

Please inform us via e-mail if you would like to accept this offer. You will then receive an order confirmation with all the relevant information for further processing.

Thank you very much.
