I think this is the "sideloading" update rolled out in a few places yesterday, which is different from the update added to the ATTN1 ROM. Of course, enabling sideloading is easy, but I'm curious what might be in this update. My phone shows none available right now.

Edit: never mind. I just looked at the details of the screen capture. This is the regular OTA update from AT&T.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] kingbluen:
I just want to double check with someone that owns one of these, but I type in Japanese a lot and I'd like to know how easy it is to switch between Japanese and English input, if at all possible, on one of these.

Of course, if it's easy like in iOS, I'll definitely pick one up, but I need confirmation about the language support.

Thank you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] p0k3y:
Easy. You would download an app (usually free, not sure about Japanese) to input that language. Switching is very easy to do - click tap the keyboard symbol on the bottom of the screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kingbluen:
I see. Is there any way to figure out if the app exists beforehand? Is it native by chance?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] reloadro:
,_,

Indeed. I am quite interested in this as well. I would go as far as to say that it is a selling point.

Being able to switch on the fly between kana input and direct input mode inside Polaris Office would be a nice feature.

Can someone please make an in-depth review of this , i would really appreciate it!

The Eee Pad Transformer is not yet released in my country so sadly i can't test out the features but from some reviews I've seen , specifically one made for the Galaxy S II in which the Polaris Office app is presented there's this button which looks like a language input/method selector, so i'd guess that's the button you are referring to?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] reloadro:
Ok so i'll answer this myself :D since i just received the transformer and played with it all day.

There are 2 "keyboard" inputs , one supplied by asus , which is pretty cool since it has that swype technology and the android one. None supporting Japanese.

There's only voice input method for it , or you could try a 3rd party keyboard app, called Simeji which works pretty well.

One can hope though , i'm pretty sure we'll see one in a future update from either asus or in the next installment of android, ice cream sandwich.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryukent:
I can confirm Japanese works fine. I browse japanese pages and write japanese text no problem. There are many japanese input modules in the market. The best are Simeji and OpenWnn. If you want a tablet that works fine with Japanese language the transformer is great!

Where is the best place to sell a used Evo with a clean ESN?

I would use craigslist but I moved to a rural area. (which is why I have to leave Sprint) Verizon will give me $155 but I feel like I should be able to get more for it than that. I've never used e-bay to sell anything before but I heard they take a good chunk. I have a small business so I have the ability to process credit cards but with all the scams I doubt anyone will give me their CC#. Any ideas?

Nokia SUPL - locks in about 16 seconds (GPS Status)

Google SUPL - locks in about 7 seconds (GPS Status)

Note: I personally believe it has something to do with the SLP Auto Provision. Mine was off by default when i launched hiddenmenu.

--------

Original post.

I'm from South East Asia. I had moderately good GPS with FR 12.

It locks me in about 7 seconds with GPS & Wireless (agps) on.

However, after FR15, i totally can't get a lock on my locations. This is a bit frustrating, as i might be traveling soon.

In Paul's change logs, he mentioned:

3 May Fr15

* Reverted to MCK kernel - patched to .28 stable and with a ton of performance improvements

* Added gps.conf to /system/etc

* Patched settings and removed update client (gains 20MB RAM)

I can only assume that gps.conf is based on the Fastereuro fix:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1066933&highlight=gps+mod

Is there anyway to reverse this? Not being able to use GPS is a challenge.

Does any of you Singaporean guys have GPS issues?

BTW, i've also check my APN - they are exactly the same as when i used FR12. So, it can't be the APN - as the wireless has already been set to supl.
[LG Optimus 2x] randy_khoo:
I also tried to go in to the hiddenmenu to tinker with the GPS, but nothing has worked so far.
[LG Optimus 2x] helmi666:
Hi randy. Are you from singapore? If so, i‘ll send you my gps.conf once I'm home:)
[LG Optimus 2x] blu3angel:
Why not you extract the gps configuration file in system/etc/gps.conf in FR12 and overwrite it to your current rom? I believe it should work...
[LG Optimus 2x] randy_khoo:
hmmm... haven't tried that... will try...

Will post results later...

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] akira de aimbuster:
Tried that and it did not work :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] blu3angel:
I'm also from singapore and currently using Blazingdragon 1.6a rom based on FR15.. My 1st gps fix takes awhile to get a lock but subsequently it will get a lock very fast...
[LG Optimus 2x] xxdoggyxx:
Hi, the first fix is always slow...

Some method you can try:

Download Gps status and tools from market(free) and download the latest gps file...

Or, Download GPS fix(market, free) The fixing it rather fast...

Or, before you want to use it, switch on GPS 1 day before and let it receive satellite data.

Or, Stay at the same spot, put your phone flat on ground. Wait. Bring some crackers and eat. :D

Haha, Last method work for me, despite the high buildings in singapore...
[LG Optimus 2x] randy_khoo:
Thanks, will check out the apps.

I was under the impression that it's a rom problem.

When i had the Samsung Captivate, gps lock takes 5-7 seconds...

when i first got the optimus, it locks about 7-10 seconds.

Now, it's taking forever.

i'm just wondering if something in the rom is incompatible with our South East Asia location.

Nevertheless, i will check out the apps. (already tested with gps status previously, but didn't work).
[LG Optimus 2x] ionhide:
Problem is from my view not getting a lock, its being able to keep the connection.. It breaks up when my data connection disappears, and it takes ages to get it back.. I am using Endomondo for tracking my sport, but i cant use it with this phone..
[LG Optimus 2x] Slash75:
1. Go into the LG hidden menu (1809#*990#)

2. Go into GPS Test

3. Go into System Settings

4. MOLR Protocol (is set to User-Plane)

5. SULP Setting -> SLP Server Setting, I created a new one for the nokia servers (slp address: supl.nokia.com, port: 7275, no cert and no TLS setting)

6. SLP Auto Provision is activated
[LG Optimus 2x] xxdoggyxx:
Hmm.. i doubt that... I'm running stock and it takes 15min+ for my first lock...
[LG Optimus 2x] lozza69er:
Using the nokia servers I get a lock within 5 seconds.
[LG Optimus 2x] akira de aimbuster:
same, took me 30min+ to lock. After I changed to BlazingDragon it solved. But updated to blazingdragon with fr15, problem appeared. Even reflash to older version wont help. (regretted for not backup before flash:p )
[LG Optimus 2x] randy_khoo:
Dear all, I would like you to note that this method worked for me!

I believe, it has something to do with SLP Auto Provision not activating well.

After setting a supl to nokia using this method i got a 16second lock.

I was staring at my device in disbelief...

Immediately, i switched off my gps and retested this new setting with the supl.google.com setting

port 7275

cert NULL

Yes to TSL settings

SLP Auto Provision - On.

I got a lock on in 7 seconds.

So, basically - nokia or google settings will work - it's just that the SLP Auto Provision needs to be on.

(I also deleted gps.config from /system/etc prior to the testing) - this might also affected the result

Tests were done with GPS Status. (APP)

Please retest with your device. This might even be worth a sticky. :D
[LG Optimus 2x] randy_khoo:
When i was using the Samsung Captivate, i changed supl to supl.google.com

(there is also a port change, if i recall correctly).

But i wasn't running stock then. I was running Andromeda 2.0
[LG Optimus 2x] lozza69er:
My SLP auto provision was off by default too. Switched it on when entering nokia server settings, just gone back to the google server and the gps is working just fine.

So its got to be related to SLP auto provision being off by default then.
[LG Optimus 2x] randy_khoo:
Yup. You mentioned earlier you got locks, but were they slow?

The posted method locks on about 10 seconds for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] jeffng:
TQ guys. I was having GPS problem since FR15. I edited the GPS (under hidden menu) to use Nokia SUPL and gps.config to access asia server, and it did the trick and lock my position in about 10-15 secs. Now i am on FR17 and i think the GPS.Config is all messed up, it's meant for Euro.

Anyway, i revert back to use Google SUPL as mention in this thread with all the settings, and i DELETED the config.gps, restart and i got it fix in 5-8sec!!! I didn't use GPS status to download anything. Btw, i am in Asia, Brunei.

I'm not a frequent poster, so excuse me if this isn't he right place to ask.

I have a TP2, RHOD500, Sprint flashed to Boost

My ROM is Standard Energy 21xxx (with the old start button). Hopefully, other can refer here for these issues, if they haven't already been fixed:

1) Activesync icon on taskbar, overlapping signal bars

I've seen a reg edit to make it invisible, but on other energy roms, (like GTX), the symbol does not overlap the signal. Is there a non-invisible option?

2) Random Start Button Freezes/Temp Phone Freezes

When I go to the home screen, MANY times the start button locks up and doesn't come up. But I can still use the home screen and press buttons and launch apps. It would take about 2 minutes before the start button works, or a soft reset.

Also, the entire phone freezes on the home screen. I would sometimes tap around to see if it works, and nothing happens. 2 minutes later, whatever program I tapped comes up, but when I return to the home screen, it's still frozen. Perhaps sense freezes? If so, how can I still launch apps from it, though it does delay?

3) All Settings option doesn't work

I go to the settings on Sense and then click "Menu" and "All Settings". The screen dims, as if the settings was to come up, but nothing happens. I click the screen, and it takes me back to Sense settings, as if I was clicking out of a window.

That's really it. I though Energy would be awesome, but it just made the phone all buggy in these respects. "Why don't you go back to stock?" Well, might as well try to solve the problem than quitting right? Well, any help would be appreciated, and if I have to move this topic, let me know. If you need any more info, just let me know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GT247:
try reflashing the rom onto your device, Ive found that doing that sometimes fixes some issues...maybe you got a problematic download too...I'm running the April 29th sense 2,5 sencity rom, build 21916, and it's flawless...I would also suggest posting in the thread for that rom/device, you're likely to get support there
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Alvaster:
Alright, Ill try that. I did flash at a comp that wasn't my own, so that opens the door to outside variables. I didn't think of that.

And yes, I will move this thread and questions after I reflash if any problems persist.

Currently using CM7 and I'm not really happy with the camera picture quality (with any rom). Not looking for another app to replace the stock one. I'm interested in tweaking the contrast, saturation, sharpness, exposure, and white balance to produce the optimal picture quality.

So my question is what settings are you using to produce top quality images from the camera?
[G2 and Desire Z General] onelikeseabass:
I've pretty much given up on this phone providing a decent photograph. My BlackBerry Pearl took better shots tbh.

[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
I would like an optimal setup for the camera as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
There is no such thing as optimal exposure and white balance settings. It depends on the conditions. For instance, increasing exposure will help in low light situations, but will make the photo look overexposed in brighter situations. Picking the white balance setting that corresponds to the type of light typically looks better than auto, but the wrong one will look terrible.

Taking good photos is an art, and it takes practice. Its not just a matter of picking a couple of catch-all settings.

Also, many poorly lit photos can be corrected after-the-fact pretty well using easy apps like Vignette or Picsay Pro.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Exanimus:
As a photographer i totally agree! :)

[G2 and Desire Z General] onelikeseabass:
Silly me, I want non blurry photos quickly and easily. It's a cell phone, not a high end standalone camera.

Snapping a quick pic of something is what a lot of people use their phone camera for. Having to fiddle with exposure, shutter speed, light balancing, etc every time is a pain.

Anyone know of a camera app that does better than stock for general pics?

HTC Vision (G2) - CM7 B79 w/AUS radio
[G2 and Desire Z General] ptesmoke:
Vignettes auto focus and auto white bal etc is pretty good, my choice over stock app, though it takes hella longer to process images as it doesnt compress them as much.

Although the number one cause for blurry pics is a fingerprinted cam lens, always give it a wipe once and a while.
[G2 and Desire Z General] onelikeseabass:
Thanks, I'll give Vignette a whirl.

Re: blur, I guess I meant noisy more than blur. I keep the lens clean. The images just don't come out crisp/clean unless I'm outside and it's high noon with not a cloud in sight.

Camera 360

I tried the stock app on CM 6.1, Vignette, and Camera 360 all shooting the same indoor shot under fluorescent lighting. Camera 360 had the sharpest and best coloring of any of the three. I use it now as my main camera app. I don't know if it's the best, but it's the one I like the most.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
What that person said, about the #1 cause of blurry pics being fingerprints, is hogwash. The main reason for blurry photos is an aperture that is too small, and ISO that is too low for the lighting conditions, resulting in the shutter having to stay open longer to capture the image. This allows more time for the camera or subject to move while the shutter is open, which causes a blurry photo.

http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com/tip/129/the-top-4-causes-of-blurry-photos-and-how-to-fix-them/

Photos can also appear noisy or over-processed. This is due to the camera trying to increase the ISO (light sensor sensitivity), or manually increasing the ISO, to compensate for low lighting.

Point and shoot cameras try to do the work for you by automatically adjusting the aperture, ISO, and shutter speed. So the recommendation for a different camera app (which all handle these adjustments slightly differently) is probably a good place to start if you aren't comfortable making the adjustments manually (and its often not convenient).

But practice and understanding how cameras work goes a lot farther. You'd be surprised at how much you can improve your photos with simple tricks that don't involve camera settings. Just slightly shifting the point of focus can significantly improve the amount of light entering the lens. Or bracing the camera/phone on a stationary object (like a piece of furniture, or a building column) to create an impromptu tripod, can control the camera jitter just enough to get a less blurry photos in low light.

[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Interesting read, thanks for linking it. Although to clarify your comment, some of the options discussed on the guide aren't available on non-Sense ROMs. But those on Sense have all the options available.

Also interesting to see the Desire and Desire HD cameras compared side-to-side to the iPhone 4. I know the camera on the Desire Z (or even my older Touch Pro 2) is decidedly better than the iPhone 3GS. My wife owns a 3GS, and she is always commenting on how much better the photos taken by my phone are. But I know Apple made some improvements to the camera for the iPhone 4, so I was wondering how things netted out. While the Desire Z was not specifically compared, its newer than the Desire (and same MP), while being the same generation as the HD (but the HD is 8 MP). So I'm just guessing the Desire Z falls somewhere in between the two in photo quality.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Gwanatu:
I've got to say that the camera on this thing is the one thing I was disappointed with when moving from my Nokia N95 8gb. That thing had the best camera I've EVER seen on a phone, and I think it was a combination of a better sensor and a considerably better (and larger) lense. This thing takes decent pictures, and they actually look good when printing in like a 4x6 or smaller, but the quality overall is pretty disappointing. I've given up on getting better pictures out of it and just take what I can.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
You have any proof to back that statement up? Because the side-by-side comparison in the linked guide above clearly shows the photos on both the old Desire, and the Desire HD are significantly superior to photos taken on the iPhone 4, for indoor conditions.

Hyperbolic statements, with no proof make you sound like Steve Jobs.
