I has terrible GPS fix. I contacted HTC and they agreed to repair it under warranty (HTC does not do exchanges). I paid $32 for shipping, they receive on a Tuesday and they are already shipping it out on Wednesday am. They said that all the problem was that I had not selected the USE GPS FOR LOCATION check mark. I told the technician that it was obvious that it would not be checked, as I had done a factory restore prior to sending it and the default setting is turned off, and of course, problem was still there.

After a lot of discussion they agreed to pay my second shipping, but I won't send it, they use the slowest shipping option from FedEx so you are easily looking at two weeks without phone.

So, good luck to you my dear sir.

Sent from YOU KNOW WHERE using YOU KNOW WHAT.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
I'm actually within the 30-days for AT&T, so going to replace it via AT&T if I do ;).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
I just got my replacement Monday for this very issue. It's a "known" defect. Save your sanity and get it replaced.

Tx
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
I see.

Thanks. Time to get it back to stock, and go to the corporate AT&T store to make the exchange.

Stupid HTC... =(
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
If you haven't already been through returning to stock and need some help, lemme know. I hit all kindsa bumps and might be able to help make your experience a lil smoother.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
Thanks, but I just finished.

Downloaded the stock PD98IMG.zip, installed it, rename/remove the .zip, went through the Ace Hack directions upto #3, and wrote "./gfree -s on" on the terminal emulator, put/rename the .zip back to PD98IMG.zip and boot into bootloader, let it auto-update back to stock.

Done, with SHIP S-ON showing in the bootloader, and having the stock ROM.

=)

*EDIT*

With everything now stock, the GPS should work, but guess what. It doesn't heh... same issue as with the ROMs. It locks fine (in 200-400 seconds...), but isn't accurate at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Good deal. Enjoy your new phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
For those of you who are running custom ROMs and are having GPS fix trouble (especially if you're in North America / US) I can confirm that using the below market app will solve your problems, assuming that you don't legitimately have hardware issues:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&feature=search_result

Permit me to paraphrase this thread over at the HTC forums:

http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/113/p/9302/40077.aspx

Unlike HTC phones running WindowsMobile, HTC's Android phones do not have a 'Quick GPS' applet to automatically download ephemeral data from the web. Therefore it may require an extremely long startup time for the system ROM and GPS chip to download the data from satellites which takes far longer than doing so from the internet. Using the above application greatly speeds the update of data, much in the way that 'Quick GPS' did for HTC WM phones by downloading ephemeral data from the internet to maintain updated satellite tables in the GPS chipset.

My guess is that many of the base ROMs being used (like RCMix Kingdom) are from overseas (EU or Asia) phones which have their satellite data tables geared for that region. That's why many of us, when using new custom ROMs are having trouble on warmup because the tables are assuming a sky over Germany or Taiwan, rather than a sky over NY or UT.

Hope this helps. Let me know if anyone else has success or failure with it. And of course, if you find it solves your problems, please donate to the developer of the app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cableguychad:
I agree with you about that Bill, I truly think some peoples problems are hardware related as was mine. My GPS is insane on my new phone. So I personally recommend to anybody with GPS issues to exchange if you've exhausted all avenues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
My gps works great, without a case. Putting a case on it kills the gps reception. AT&T refuses to exchange it for me. I'm using a seido innocase now, which has the least effect on the gps.

Unhappy about the whole situation.
[HTC Inspire 4G] r_3:
I tried the app bill recommended as well. No luck. I called att and went from customer support, to technical support, to warranty support and they are sending me a replacement. I went through the ropes and was polite and described how the gps does not work in any application and they were courteous and helped me out. Hopefully it will fix my gps. I may just run the rooted stock rom to allow sideloading once I get it. It would be nice if it supports tethering... need to look into that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
The ****?

AT&T refused to replace the phone.

I am under the 30-day grace period (new customer).

I showed them that my phone has 0 locks, and my Google Maps is only accurate to 1600 meters in their store.

They claimed it was because I'm indoors, and I showed them the store model, which had a 5 meter accuracy with GPS.

I even asked to download the GPS Status app on the store model, and it had 9 satellites locked on.

Mine? Same location, 0 satellites even visible.

I told them I think the GPS chip is broken, and they said there is no GPS chip on the phone, and that it's all done by the SIM card. . .

They replaced my SIM card, and told me they won't replace the phone, as there's nothing wrong with it.

What the hell do I do?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cableguychad:
Go back and talk to a manager or find a different ATT store. They should exchange without to much grief.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Go to a different corporate at&t store? Or try to call at&t and have them send you a replacement.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
I just find it funny how they simply refuse that there's a GPS chip in there, and that the SIM card is responsible for the GPS lock...

Are you kidding me? -_-
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Go back and show them THIS, specifically the tech specs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
lol.

Honestly, I was getting so frustrated. It was like talking to a donkey.

They refused to believe that there is a GPS chip, and I told them the GPS Status app is beneficial, in that it downloads the AGPS data, and they said "no, it ruins Google Maps", and had me do a fresh wipe (yes ME... they didn't know how to do it)...

It was a nightmare, and a waste of an hour or so.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
As Davey Ramsey says, "Last I checked, stupid isn't a crime."

FWIW, I don't bother going to the stores, teh ppl there are worthless as tits on a steer. Call 611 and tell them you went to a corp store and they refused an exchange after having you do a factory restore/reset in their presence as well as argued with you about the phone's hardware, more specifically, the presence of a GPS module/chip and stated that the SIM is responsible for the GPS functionality. Remeber that floor model, yeah, they don't have a SIM in them. ;)

Also let them know all the steps you've been through to troubleshoot this to avoid calling in for "help" and that you'd really appreciate it if they'd expedite a replacement for your defective device. Explain that you've researched this issue and that it's a known defect and that HTC's working to correct it. Don't forget about those 4.9 MILLION hits on google for HTC Inspire 4G GPS Issues.

Tx
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
Went to a different store, and this time the rep did a factory reset, checked for GPS signal, and actually went into the bootloader, before giving me the new phone.

Whew, good thing I turned S-On again xD.

This new one locks on with GPS within 10 seconds from a cold boot (after the first initiation lock, which took ~30-40 seconds).

I hope nothing else is wrong with the phone...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 03stage2:
So I have been utilizing the Asus MyCloud unlimited web storage but ironically cant actually access from my TF. Using it on my PC's is flawless however every time I try and use it on the TF I get an error message saying "Oops, Communication error". Is anyone else able to get theirs to work properly from the TF?

EDIT: Also, when I try and upload from the TF I get another error message saying " Invalid Long:""
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetfann:
I get the communication error often too and usually when it happens I just use the search devices link and it finds my computer again assigned to a different ip. I don't even bother saving my password anymore because it asks me to retype it each time a new ip is assigned. It's a pain, but it works 90% of the time. When it doesn't work, I use Wyse Pocketcloud instead and can usually connect that way.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxp3:
You can prevent your PC from getting new IP by reserving your IP in your router/access point.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 03stage2:
So Im confused here. Im not actually trying to access my PC, im trying to access my Asus Cloud storage. Are you saying I need to go through my pc to get to my cloud storage???
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxp3:
Mine is working fine...when you configure the MyCloud, did you do it from the transformer? I don't see how you got unlimited without going through the transformer myCloud. And if you did...are you able to get to @vibe Radio and Music and only the asus webstorage is not working?

Maybe go into application management and delete the data for mycloud and asus webstorage and try to log in again.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] andr0id23:
I am really enjoying Plume on my Xoom, but I have run across a pretty nasty bug that is really hindering the app. I was never able to click on ANY link in Plume. If I did, I would get an option to open with Plume or Mobo Video Player. No matter what I selected, immediately after selecting one I would get a Force Close. This happened every single time, without fail. I thought it was weird that Mobo was an option to open every link, so I uninstalled it, and Plume worked great. No more FC's. Reinstalled Mobo and right back to forc closing anytime I clicked on a link.

Maybe this will help solve a similar problem for some. Anyone else run into this? I have send a bug report to Levelup Studio, but forgot to mention the part about Mobo lol. I have also been trying to get their attention on Twitter, but so far they haven't responded. I suppose I will now send a proper email so hopefully thiss can be fixed. I have Mobo uninstalled right now, and am really diggin Plume, but have also come to really like Mobo for watching movies so would like to see them play nice together.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jase33:
Are you running the beta release of plume? I have both installed on my zoom but do not get any FC's
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ayman07:
i get the same issue. im not running the beta, directly downloaded from the market

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxxiB:
I think a few of these questions are already answered but some may not.

i've come to the Samsung Galaxy S II from a blackberry ( previous was an X10i )

and need a bit of help with it and when / what to expect from it.

When can I expect to see a root for the device without loading a custom kernel etc ( I would rather not do anything to potentially brick the device as I will be using this for the next 2 years )

If I can get root on stock kernel will I be able to do overclocks like people are reporting for 1.5 GhZ or more?

How do I actually get a refund for things on the market that don't work, previously purchased games like Need for speed : Shift that just will not download and when I contact the provider they don't even reply to emails / feedback forms.

Can anyone recommend to me a good weather app that will show the widget for the next few days.

Using Sony Ericsson I knew they were terrible with updates for their devices, are samsung any better or atleast more frequent in their Updates? are their updates rushed / buggy?

Thanks in advance :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quicksilverdust:
Hello,

I don't know if you still need the info, but I have some anwsers.

To root, just follow this quide:

Yes, you can, but the battery life is not that good, and in my case (No one else has this problem) it hangs randomly.

For that, you just need to talk to the devs.

I don't know if you still need that :)

[Thunderbolt General] my_username:
This may be a dumb question...but, I find the timing of this update to be somewhat overly coincidental. Our free mobile hotspot trial is set to expire on the 15th, and this begins rolling out on the 12th...

Is it possible this update may also contain something that disables our hotspot feature? Or does one have nothing to do with the other?

Edit: I'm in Sarasota, Florida and one of the people who has been stuck on Rev A ever since that outage a few weeks back. As of today, I notice that finally it is back to the hybrid network...also coinsiding with the day this update rolls out. Just thought I would point this out for.people who have had the same issue.

Update: After going ahead with the update, upon turning on the wireless hot spot feature, for the first time it gave me a warning saying the feature would only be available for a limited time and that when that time was up I'd have to pay...interesting.

As the title suggests, I'm having trouble playing back certain Wave files. I've tried poweramp, winamp and doubletwist. While most of my other Wavs work, I have a particular one that has a really static sound at regular intervals and another that cuts out half way through.

Hey sorry about the slow reply guys, I was ill on the day I was going to reply and then royally screwed up my phone trying to get the Doc Rom beta working. I'm sorry, but I don't think I can place the song up here. It hasn't been released to the general public, I'm just lucky and know the sto artist. I do have some more information, I tried it on 2.2 stock and it worked perfectly. I couldn't try it on 2.3.3 stock unfortunately, so I'm not entirely sure whether it is an android 2.3 bug or whether it is a Cyanogenmod bug. I'm using the Miui rom now, which I might add is amazing! However the audio problem is still there, probably since it is based on CM. I might have to convert to Flac in the meantime, which isn't that bad because then I'll have some meta data!

Nice work dedraks :)

I haven't tried it yet but just wondering which logo it would change. For instance I'm using the Nordic ROM which starts with the red "M" logo on boot but then changes to the "android" word logo.

Which logo would your tool change as I'm eventually going to upgrade to CM7 & like the red "M" boot logo (I would be using CM7 over the Nordic) but I'm not liking the CM7 android skateboard logo - could that one be changed.

Thanks for the help :)
