[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustinBooyah:
No it wont screw up the tether nor will you have to do anything else to the phone. Its basically just making sure it has the best connection possible. Honestly, flashing radios and stuff is something you do when you're ready just like anything else that has to do with root. If you don't want to do it, just don't sweat it. You'll know when you're ready to mess with that stuff cause it'll be irresistible, then suddenly very addicting.

You have to start simple. Keep it away from interference from other wireless devices you might have and make sure you don't have apps syncing left and right. Widgets that auto-refresh can slow the connection down so try to keep that on a need-to-have basis. Go to your settings, then accounts and sync, and see if there's anything syncing that you just don't care about and turn those off or set them up to sync less often like once a day or something.

Finally, don't let attitudes in the message board keep you from actually retaining the information. Ultimately we're here to help. I understand the whole thing is kinda frustrating if people just slang unfamiliar jargon at you but another key is patience. Just hang in there and give it some time, you'll start to get the hang of picking out very useful information from the fray. Good luck with the phone man

Hijacking OP. :D

If you don't mind, I'll use the thread to follow up on some issues I'm having.

I found 9Lukas5 step-by-step guide for clean install the most helpful. My English is not perfect so it was really appreciated his precise instructions.

I try keep up with the CM7 thread but there's 100s of posts each day. From what I gather, latest version CM7.0.3 with K011 is stable, no WLODs and can now enter deep sleep.

I can't. :confused:

I wanted to ask about two items I've seen recommended in the CM7 thread:

- manually select Network Operator

- disable Automatic Time/Date from Operator

Manually Select Network Operator

From a fresh install, the phone boots up and the APN appears to be configured because I get 3G / H right away. Just to follow instructions, I go to

Home -> Settings -> Wireless & Networks Mobile Networks -> Network Operators -> Searching... Pop-Up -> Telcel GSM (that's my carrier).

Whether I click on Select Automatically or click on my Carrier name, I get the same response, "Registered on the Network".

Is this enough? When I click on my carrier, will that count as manual selection? Do I need to do something else or something different?

Disable Automatic Time/Date from Operator

In the same manner, I go to:

Home -> Settings -> Date & Time -> Unselect Automatic.

Should I reboot the phone? Will rebooting cancel the manual selection of my Network Operator?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobbes2099:
I'm done too!!!

Just installed K012 (128) and it fixed everything; I'm getting plenty of 128 and lots of deep sleep.

Please note you cannot be charging your device for deep sleep to take place!!!

I just installed K012 so I can't report on crashes, WLOD or FCs, but if I get any I will post again.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gingerbread Man:

Also I am facing issues with the roaming. My phone does not switch to digital roaming mode at all when I am in a different city... Please help..

Please help.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VoXHTC:
I've asked this question quite a few times. I've gotten made fun of, insulted, whatever.

I finally got the answer. QuickOffice HD is the ONLY android application that will let you freely edit your Google Doc spreadsheets as if you were on a PC.

So to help the rest of the newcomers out there, as there will be more. This is your answer.

Don't bother with the rest, including Polaris Office. They're all pretty and what not... but useless.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffervesce:
Thanks for the tip, too bad about your experience when asking around, don't pay mind to **** bags man.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrayAdjacent:
I got the Docs app, and it's rather disappointing. The editing is weird, and everything comes up doublespaced. You also cannot delete documents.

I don't have QuickOffice, and can't see spending $20 for the functionality of being able to edit Google Docs. But then, I don't use my Docs account for much other than keeping notes on things (non-work related) that I want to remember... like the filter part number for my fridge, or links to farkles for the bike...

Hopefully El Goog will fix it up, because it's pretty poor right now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffervesce:
Which docs app are you talking about? Polaris? I own quickoffice pro, which is for mobile and might not be installable on my tablet.. Cash grab for a new version for tablets probably. Quickoffice pro is pretty good for my phone though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VoXHTC:
The native Google Docs app from the Market. It's terrible. Their own app, doesn't work so well with their own spreadsheets.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silver03wrx:
Do it then boot into recovery. If its the stock samsung recovery id think your goo to go. And try to use an app that requires root. Obviously it won't work if your not
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xopher.hunter:
Make sure you can wipe the phone through the stock recovery first if its not completely stock it will sponge the phone or delete system apps. Found this out the hard way doing a swap on a new epic talking to a sprint rep running srf 1.1.1 lol

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
This seems pretty straightforward. Wipe everything 3x, flash the stock rom, boot, boot to cwm, and flash the stock recovery and make sure it works right. If that doesn't work I'll use odin.

Rerfs is awesome. I used it. My bonsai got jacked and I thought I was going to have to bring to the store. Re rfs worked great and I baselined from there and re rooted etc. go for it

I fixed my issue and never had to return to sprint btw
[Thunderbolt General] Tower1972:
Just looking to see what anyone from my area is pulling in signal wise. Not 3G but call signal. In my driveway im pulling in 0-2 bars,same with inside my house. When I was on Sprint my call bars were always full but my data constantly sucked. Now with Verizon my data is constantly awesome but my call quality/signal strength sucks to the point of static on some calls and text messages not being delivered/recieved.

Ive taken my phone into the local store and the sales rep there let me use his phone briefly to take past my house/driveway so I could see if this was an issue on his as well and sure enough, his Tbolt had 1 bar. So I called a tech and was on the phone with him for almost an hour doing checks on things etc,and found my phone was hovering between -91 and -101dBm which is rather bad lol. So Verizon extended my 14 day period alittle longer until a truck roams thru my neighborhood to test the signal. This is kinda bothering me since my area is one of the many slated to get 4G on June 16th :(
[Thunderbolt General] joshnichols189:
No idea where this is, but in Kenosha I have almost no signal unless I'm downtown by the Metra stop
[Thunderbolt General] Richpopski123:
Eau Claire here. I run 3 bars most of the time at home.
[Thunderbolt General] kozlak:
Hartland/Pewaukee area here. Usually have zero problems unless I'm inside my apartment. 3-4 bars of 3G are the norm in every area of SE WI for me.
[Thunderbolt General] gsxr1kmatt:
I live in West Allis, and work in Menomonee Falls... No issues.. signal is a little weak but I tether all the time while at work and it's fine.

I'm near Silver Spring and Pilgrim.

I have my bike here today, I could swing by your area and see if I have the same issues... PM me some cross streets or something.
[Thunderbolt General] Tower1972:
Pretty much all the way up Appleton ave starting at Pilgrim up to the Marcus Cinema by Target (just short of Hwy Q) it hovers between 2 and 1.

Thing is, I have had a few techs tell me that the data signal and call signal are not the same thing. My data speeds are fine,ALOT better then Sprint, but its my calling signal thats off. I finally had the results of my ticket told to me today. Seems my area is going to not be an easy fix. There is an issue and supposedly the network team is on it, but something to do with living between 2 towers my phone is struggling to pick a dominate tower so its trying to pick one (or something like that, I was half asleep when he called back lol)

I wonder. When people were having issues with Sprint they would sometimes send them an Airwave unit to boost the signal in their homes for free. I wonder if Verizon would do the same since there IS a problem in my area. Off to research I go..Thanks everyone
[Thunderbolt General] Richpopski123:
My buddy works at the switch in appleton. I'll have him check it out!
[Thunderbolt General] Tower1972:
Thank ya!!! I just got off the phone with tech support again and its noted on my account that they recommend a Network Extender but the best the rep will do is take off 50% of the cost of it. While its a decent offer, im still on the fence about it since I have to purchase it to be able to get a decent signal :(
[Thunderbolt General] MsSassypants:
You should get it for free, if it's their issue....
[Thunderbolt General] Tower1972:
Indeed, that was exactly my thinking. Sprint was tossing people Airwaves left and right for free if they had issues, guess everyone telling me that Verizon will "nickle and dime" me for everything has some merit. Too bad my trial period ended last night (it was extended until the results of my ticket were in).
[Fascinate General] jazzyjames:
So my GPS works pretty well when I am outside, but when I am inside it can be pretty bad, I live in the first floor of a 3 story condo complex and its pretty rare that I get a lock inside, without using GPS Status or any AGPS download tool, which I personally find is not needed when it comes to getting your GPS working.

Well I installed the MapQuest app, please don't flame me for not using google, but that app has been getting pretty fast GPS locks now.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mapquest.android.ace&feature=search_result

So just from my observances it seems like a mismatch in coding with the GPS and Google maps, and Mapquest can atleast turn on and good a good/decent lock with it.
[Fascinate General] Avelnan:
People don't need gps indoors.
[Fascinate General] Domush:
Ever been to the Smithsonian Museum or Library of Congress? :eek:

For the OP, the app has nothing to do with the fix time, the GPS is run via Android API, not direct hardware access. You just happened to get lucky or had recently run the GPS and the satellite positioning cache was still recent.
[Fascinate General] xmrbonesx:
I always thought it was just a bug in Google Maps. Whenever I have trouble getting a fix, I switch to something else, like Bing Maps, and it locks instantly.
[Fascinate General] jazzyjames:
I would agree with you, but I rebooted a bunch and tested it, and it had been about 3 days since I used the GPS, I used Mapquest and it it locked pretty quick.

And this morning, which normally after not using not using it for about 8+ hours it doesn't work. It wasn't locking this morning, I opened map quest and it started working again.
[Fascinate General] prehistorical:
+1

Hate to admit this, but this works for me. I've had issues with locks as well as accuracy (always zeroes in to a not-so-nearby spot). I've done the ntp pool edits (which helped a tad). But Mapquest somehow "unblocks" and gets a more accurate location. Then when you open Google Maps it somehow works okay now that Mapquest paved the way. On the other hand, Mapquest forces your WiFi on without asking.

:confused:
[Fascinate General] mastamoon:
Sounds like maybe mapquest us downloading agps data everytime. Seems that google maps expects a functional gps and waits for your phone to handle the data retrieval and fixing. Shame.
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
If there are any wifi networks visible (doesn't matter if you connect to them or not), Google's Location Services might be the one that's actually finding your location, not the GPS.
[Fascinate General] Domush:
Is this how agps works for sure? aGPS just appeared one day years ago and I've never really learned how it worked. So it downloads a sat position map based on tower connection or something similar?
[Fascinate General] mastamoon:

Lots of good info there. So basically yes.
[Fascinate General] inmybrain:
Thanks for this great post. I thought my gps function was going to be lost for good. I can now use some of my favorite apps again.
[Fascinate General] Lydar:
That could definitely be useful. I typically use the gps every two weeks
[Fascinate General] ezas:
After months of gps issues I just leave it on all the time and always get a lock now.

[Fascinate General] s44:

[Fascinate General] nunyazz:
I turn my wifi on when turning on the gps and now I get lock in google maps every time within seconds.
[Fascinate General] prehistorical:
Just a follow-up observation, probably obvious to most of you... but doh! not to me.

GPS and aGPS performance has many variables, location and radio being two significant ones. I've recently downloaded GPS Status from Market that some of you recommended (thanks again!) to help figure out what are GPS vs. aGPS locks on both Google Maps and Mapquest, as well as assist with diagnosis.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/gps-status-toolbox/com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2

Using a sample of 1, it turns out that not only am I located in a poor signal area (1x if lucky), but my GPS availablity here is terrible, too. (This also supports the theory that I will always have relatively terrible battery life, as the phone is always struggling for signal.)

ED03

My earlier post shows my enthusiasm for Mapquest, except that it uses aGPS and turns the Wifi on without asking, and also runs hot. I use Mapquest to get things moving, then use Google Maps as I prefer its interface and functionality.

ED03 --> EA28

Recently switched to EA28 (still under Froyo EF 3.3.2) in an attempt to minimize missing calls as well as get better data performance. Got terrible GPS and aGPS. Even Mapquest has started getting "lost". Call signal / performance is marginally better than ED03, but at the expense of GPS accuracy.

However, when I travel to an excellent 3G coverage area, somehow the tables are turned and Google Maps pops us quicker and accurately, while Mapquest is still busy trying to catch up and draw the map.

ED03 --> ED04

As the effort to switch modems around have become trivial, I decided to get the ED04 modem in case there are any improvements to either call performance or GPS. So far GPS/aGPS is still terrible in my normally terrible coverage area. Too soon to tell if call performance improved, or if missed calls problem is fixed.

Play around with modems! Link to Comradesven's thread:

"[MODEM][ODIN][CWM]DL09, EA28, ED01, ED03, ED04 modems without ridiculous 100MB OTAs"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1097355

I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to evaluate the new GB leak's modem, either with a GB ROM or a Froyo ROM? Might be the next modem to test if ED04 is still terrible.

[Fascinate General] tonytooth:
thanks for the tip
[Fascinate General] prehistorical:
ED04 was such a bad modem with missed calls galore, I quickly ODIN'ed the EC09 modem and was pleasantly surprised with better performance -- calls and GPS/aGPS.

A road trip to the "countryside" then revealed that the countryside had better VZW signal and GPS than my normal location! 3G and GPS accuracy and quick locks... so this is how the phone should work!

Finally got back to the land of poor VZW reception, and had to focus on minimizing missed calls. Between the EC09 and EA28 modems -- EA28 had less missed calls so that's where I ended up. But both have excellent GPS performance in both great and marginal reception areas, specially compared to the EDxx series. ED04 was quite a flop for me.

Anybody here know if it is possible to get a replacement for their phone because of the Fascinate GPS problems? By replacement, I mean a different phone and not a refurb with the same problem.

I've been able to live with the phone not locking and being almost right most of the time, but this last week I really needed the GPS to lock and work and it wouldn't. Driving around with broken AC in 105 degree weather was the last straw.

Does mapquest initially turn on Wifi? I tried this by getting mapquest from the market and tried to see if it could find my location. I accidentally clicked the home button and when I saw my power control widget, I saw wifi on and then it suddenly turned off. (I have wifi off almost always).

I successfully rooted my inspire today and i believe to have successfully loaded the following rom: (in order to upgrade the radio from the downgraded one)

when i try to load another rom i get an error saying it failed or aborted.

i also notice that with the above rom i have no internet access. (just shows bars and no E, 3G, H etc) this is causing a problem because i cant get flash clockwork mod to work, its trying to find an internet connection, even with wifi connected i cant get it to load. (or any other internet page)

ideas?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
It sounds like the radio probably didn't upgrade. There may be some other issue causing the abort of other ROMs

Also, if you don't have clockworkmod, how are you attempting to load other ROMs? Most are CWM ready, but some are sent as PD98IMG.zip compatible which requires that you indeed have S-OFF.

Check your HBOOT screen (pull then replace battery, hold volume-down then press power-on) and make sure it says S-OFF at the top.

i do have clockwork mod. but at the moment when i try and go to flash clockworkmod recovery it says i dont have a stable internet connection, wifi on or not. Actually i just got it to work.

it does say s-off at the top of the bootloader screen.

[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
The only reason the rom is getting aborted is because the file is corrupted or you didn't Download it completely.
