I'll have to load up one of those apps and see what result I get. It's always good to compare. I've noticed a geocaching app I used had a slight accuracy issue, but it wasn't all over the place. I was at least able to use it as a reference.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nayr1482:
Another thing - do you turn gps on and off or just leave it on?

When I first got this phone I would turn it off and on. I noticed that when I turned it on it took forever to lock.

I leave it on now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Grouper:
I don't really remember if I left it on or not but a 20 mile ride should have had a lock somewhere in the beginning. :-P

It seems my calendar issue was just something with that event, as it works okay with editing others and after changing my alarm notification sound the alarm works.

I am still having this issue with Skype telling me that I'm not on Verizon in the US... I have the hybrid Alltel PRL, maybe that has something to do with it? The GPS issue is just too much. I rely on Runkeeper to keep track of my running and cycling and having to take note of length and route, then completely remove and manually add the every event back in just isn't going to work for me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
The GPS works great for me on the inc2, I've used it plenty of times to get me home. I use the calendar as well and never seen a F/C/ I'd call for a refurb.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
There's a difference between the navigation mapping and the GPS usage he's attempting, which I intend to test with my I2. Navigation shows your relative position on a set path so if you are slightly off, it still shows you on the set path. On the other hand, things like geocaching and bike/run tracking doesn't lock you to a path, but rather tracks what the GPS radio reports is your location, whether on a road or in the middle of a field. In his scenario, his GPS is reporting him zigzagging on a road, which increases the estimated run distance and throws off various calculations.

I have some interest in this issue because I use a mapping app called Waze and because of this potential issue I've been hesitant to use the feature that allows you to map new roads using GPS.

I've been pretty busy so I haven't had a chance to hop on my bike with a tracker. I'll try to get to it this weekend if I'm not stuck on conference calls :S

@Grouper

Somehow I missed that you are using this for estimating calorie burn. I would highly recommend a Polar heart rate monitor. Any heart rate monitor will be more accurate than making a guess based on run time and distance, and I've found the Polar monitors to be pretty great, though a little on the expensive side. I like that it works with my cardio equipment as well, and I'll use it with my weight training and martial arts training.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Grouper:
I was thinking about getting one of the chest strap monitors but just don't have the money to spend on one right now.

I'm very curious to know whether or not I have a defective phone or if the drivers for gps on this device are just crappy.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaunjpeterson:
I remember a few months back someone had a tpu case and they cut out sections on the back of the case to fix the problem of the case blocking the gps signal. I was wondering if anybody remembers this and could point me to where that was. They had instructions and pictures I'm pretty sure. Hope someone remembers this.

Thanks

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaunjpeterson:
Thanks I just kinda want to start by modifying my tpu case and see if that helps before I dive in n start messing with phone hardware. If i remember correctly the guy who did the mod to his case also cut off a part on lower part of the case where the darker part of the Desire HD is. Is that where the wifi antenna is??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LondonTownGuy:
The antenna is at the top where the flash is, as stated. There is a cable running down the side to the GPS module at the bottom of the case.

I cut my own TPU case around the flash cover and the improvement was not that great, In the end I took the case off without trying anything further.

I would suggest cutting around the flash cover with a few holes down the left side and then another larger cut out at the bottom directly in line with flash cover, but be prepared to waste the case :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaunjpeterson:
I cut out a rectangle the size of the entire flash cover that pops out. It greatly improved my gps signal. I get a lock within seconds when near a window whereas before i either wouldnt get a lock or it would take minutes. I may try cutting out a part on the bottom on a secondary case to see if that helps even further but at the moment I am very satisfied with my fix. So if anyone is have gps problems try seeing if its your case before going the hardware route.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akira02rex:
I don't see how this is remotely beleivable. No empiracal data has been collected just hearsay.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaunjpeterson:
I used the GPS Test app and set my phone right beside a window and it would take about a minute to get a lock. I then took off my case and I got a lock within seconds so obviously something with my case is blocking the GPS signal. So I cut out a rectangle where the antenna is located. I then test using the app and get a lock within 15 seconds. Its not as fast as without the case but it is way quicker than before. If you don't believe me that's cool. It could be specific to my phone or my case, I'm just saying for the people that are having issues with GPS signal and you have a case, take the case off and see if the signal is better. If it is then your case is blocking the signal and if not then you might have to do the hardware fix that is covered in a bunch of threads.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Blou_Aap:
I press the power button to lock the screen, then several minutes later the tab will go in an endless loop of switching the screen on and off and on and off again until I actually restart the device.

Note I can still unlock the screen and use the tab normally, but as soon as I lock the screen this loop starts, not always, but most of the tries.

Makes it damn near impossible to fall asleep at night.

Does anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it ?

It's a 10.1v and I used Chainfire's method to flash and unlock and then rooted it. It has been doing this before the root/unlock/flash.

EDIT: Ok I found a more sure way to replicate this, any time I just leave the Tab to lock the screen for it self then this loop starts happening.

No matter which way I lock it after that, the loop of the screen switching on and off, just keeps going. When I lock it by pressing the power key or just leave it to lock it self.

I'm not to bothered with the leakage, as it's not a LED or AMOLED display. As for the Lockscreen loop I figure it would go away as soon as we can get an update to Samsung's 3.1
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] opiswahn:
Hey Guys,

i have a major problem after flashing the MIUI-ROM, hopefully someone can help me.

I have flashed the MiuiXTV2, that worked so far. After that i decided to install some updates, like the Camupdate and the V3 and V4 Update. After that, my Miui starts, but i can't get in the the Settings-Menu, there is says its suddenly not installed. (It worked in the original Miui).

So i decided to flash it over again, but i cant. When i hit reboot into recovery, i only get a symbol with an exclamation mark and thats it. So i went to reinstall OpenRecovery but i cant because the system is set not to install software that doesn't come from the markt.

Also, it seems that i can't connect to the pc via usb. I don't know why. The phone doesn't charge and doesn't connect to the pc.

And thats it, i'm dead in the water, can someone help please??????

Hi guys, I have owned the HD2 for more than a year now, but using Droid as my OS. Now, I would like to start using Win7 as my new OS for it. I was successfull loading Magdlr & Win7, I was also successfull in acquiring the activation code via chat.

I already entered the activation and the phone took it, but when I'm downloading a free App, it keeps on saying "Can't get this info right now.check back in a little while", that little while has been two days ago, so I know there's something wrong. I also followed, the setup for the XBMODD app, and tried to setup the network, but I don't have a data plan, I only use the Wi-fi.

Now my question is do I need a data plan so I can successfully download a free app? If not, what am I doing wrong? I would appreciate any help and advice.

Thank you very much in advance.

So since yesterday, i've been thinking about these three phones but still, i cant decide which one to go as all these 3 met my budget requirement. So guys, would you mind helping me decide on which device i should aim for? As i never use any samsung phone before, can anyone advice me the quality of the phone?

ps: i use a lot of gps, cameras, wireless for my daily work routines, and play games and watch movies to release tension.

Thanks in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] politbureau:
Can't speak to the HTC, but I have both the Nexus S and SGS. Both are great devices, and very similar, but speak to very different users.

Choose the SGS if you want a wide selection of custom ROMs, fantastic user support, loads of device-specific apps, etc. Choose the Nexus S if you want timely 'official' OS updates or absolutely must have a camera flash.

Having both side by side, I'm impressed by how smooth the Nexus S w/ stock GB feels compared to my heavily customized SGS GB ROM. The SGS still wins in Quadrant and synthetics, but the Nexus just feels smoother, and is general more bug free.

Cheers

I'm Confused between Samsung Galaxy Gio S5660 And LG Optimus One P500.., Which is the best one?

LG P500 have 600mhz (MSM7227) with 419MB RAM where as, Gio have 800mhz (MSM7227-1 Turbo) with 278MB User RAM, Which one should i buy?:confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] virusshah1997:
dude buy lg optimus one! u can overclock to 806.but 768 is stable :) .

so i give vote to lg o1
[Optimus One, P500, V General] manast:
Galaxy Gio looks to be a nice deal but I would still say LG O1 even though it has a slower processor.

LG O1 has 512 MB RAM and will be getting official 2.3 within the next 30 days max while as far as I have read Gio's 2.3 update is not planned yet and also it has less RAM.

And if you plan to root the phone, the LG O1 has an awesome Dev community with some great custom ROM's.

Positive points for Samsung Galaxy S5660:

+ Better display (16m)

+ DNSe sound enhancement (I don't know what that is)

+ Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n

+ More processing power (800Mhz)

+ Stereo FM radio with RDS

+ lighter (102g instead of 129g)

Positive points for LG Optimus One P500:

+ More user memory (about 170MB basic)

+ More RAM (512MB)

+ Upgradable to v2.3.3 (coming very soon)

+ More battery power (1500mAh instead of 1350mAh)

It's up to your taste now =]
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rcpk:
I'd vote for OO P500

Samsung medium-end devices have very poor support, either from Samsung nor from the comunities

P500 can totaly pwn any devide to 300€ with tweaks and improvments from XDA devs, imho.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] soberspine:
If you intend to use the phone as mp3player you must know optimus one has bad sound quality. THREAD

Also some users complaint about dust under the screen.

The weight of optimus one is not a problem, you will get used with it from the first day, my previous phone had 86g.

In my opinion the single problem with optimus one is the bad sound quality.

Go check both phones in a store and decide then.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rcpk:
Right. If you want to mess around with roms, scripts, enhancements, etc h4x0r stuff then P500 is the ideal.

If you want (as soberspine said) a multimedia phone, then probably Gio will be sightly better.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 22VIN:
Go for the device with more RAM and a better battery. Trust me. Android + small RAM isn't a good combination.

But if you want to use it for music I would recommend Samsung. DNSe is not something amazing but it's pretty good (DNSe as in Digital Natural Sound engine - I have it on my Samsung mp3 player and I really like the way it sounds).

Led flash - yes, it's true, it's handy

Music - only for people who use it (I prefer not to drain my phone's battery with music so I use mp3 players; and that's very rare because most of the time I listen to music in the car - so not everyone needs music on the phone)

Dust - I keep hearing about dust under screen; well, mine really doesn't have a bit of dust under its screen, maybe it depends a lot how you keep your phone

Neocore score - benchmark results are just benchmark results, real life usage is different
