[HTC Sensation] Slushwolf:
I don't have any issues. GPS gets locked within 5 to 10 secs. I travel a lot so I have 3rd party Navi, Sygic Aura. Works well on Sensation. I also have HTC's Location that comes with the phone bundle when I purchased. Location is very smooth although addresses and pois are not as updated as Sygic. You can also consider Co-Pilot if you are planning to have Navi system in Sensation.

I bought Sensation during the first day launch and I would say it is a remarkable piece of smartphone. Though I will always rate HD2 being the best phone I have used, Sensation comes in second.
[HTC Sensation] chrisizzle492:
My GPS is back to sucking ass. Idk what it is.
[HTC Sensation] chrisizzle492:
Update!!!!! I think the problem is Google maps. I downloaded GPS essentials and it locked almost immediately. It could be the recent update. But either way I'm now looking for an alternative.

Update 2 nvm I have no idea anymore its working fast again. Lol I give up its sooo inconsistent.
[HTC Sensation] LunaNoctis:
Hi,

has anyone here tried to compare the HTC Sensation with a "real" GPS device (like a Garmin)? GPS lock times are not very important for me but the focus is on real accuracy. (not the displayed accuracy which might be different).

Geocaching experience with the Sensation would be ideal

I did not see much "serious" GPS reviews for the Sensation so far and an acceptable GPS would be important for the buying decision - besides S-OFF
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Well, here's a video testing the GPS. I think it performs pretty well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mivpOyvNU30
[HTC Sensation] LunaNoctis:
@aNYthing24

I already know this video. Unfortunately it is more a demo of the maps application.

I do not even need the maps, but the longitude and latitude numbers need to be as exact as possible and I had bad experiences with my current phone and try to avoid another GPS "deaf" device

Probably a GPS in a mobile devices never beats a dedicated GPS unit, but it would be nice when the position is "good enough" without connecting an external GPS receiver
[HTC Sensation] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Ok. Sometimes GPS sucks because:

1) Biggest reason: The location server is down. Without aGPS, you are relying on pure GPS. This is slow as hell when you are indoors or in a large city. You can wait like 5 minutes for a lock. You should lock in like 1 minute easily with aGPS indoors, and probably 10-15 seconds tops outdoors.

2) Cloudy days, buildings, etc in the way.

But almost always #1 will be the reason why people say it sucks. It's like night and day difference between a good GPS and bad GPS.

Then when we talk about lock times, so many things comes in the way. You can easily get a 5 second lock time on plenty of devices, but it doesn't mean the GPS is good. The Galaxy S and Nexus S with their GPS in working condition will lock in 5 seconds, but it's not anywhere as accurate as the Motorola Droid series or the Nexus One.
[Atrix 4G General] Ramsport:
Anybody know of an app besides executive assistant that puts info on your lock screen. Like mail, calender appointments and so on.
[Atrix 4G General] graemegb:
i use WidgetLocker. it works great and basically lets you put any widget, or application shortcut on the lock screen as well as custom sliders.
[Atrix 4G General] toughbax:
+ 1

I haven't had anything I wanted to put the lock screen widget locker couldn't handle. Custom sliders is icing on the cake
[Atrix 4G General] tonyzz:
I use widget locker with missed it (purchase) but I have it list email accounts SMS missed calls and daily events works great
[Atrix 4G General] dubyajaysmith:

I'm not exactl how i got to this point but i have

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-ON H

HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP30000)

RADIO-3.22.20.17

in android os and in recover i cannot access the SD card but i can still use my gold card without a problem so i don't think the connector is busted

i think it has to do with the fact what i have 32a spl on my 42b mytouch but i am unable to change spl's in recovery without sd card being able to mount i've gotten this far without it but i cant flash anything from recovery with out a sdcard so i htink i am stuck unless someone can help me figure out how to re enable it
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Ok... you have multiple problems... but all of them are fixable :0)

Problem 1) You have s-on.

You have eng spl, so you should have s-off.

Fix: Run this command in fastboot mode

fastboot oem eraseconfig

Restart into fastboot again and you will see that you have s-off. With that s-off you can now flash whatever you want :0)

Problem 2) You have wronge radio for you device.

Fix: You say you have 32B. Then you need this radio:

https://rapidshare.com/files/455782324/2.22.19.26I.img

You can download fastboot commander from my signature to help you flash the radio. Get the normal version and NOT magic version (Magic version is for the 32A devices.)

Problem 3) You cannot mount the sdcard

Fix: run this command from fastboot

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

Problem 4) Lets now fix your recovery.

Fix: Get this image:

http://rapidshare.com/files/387932919/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

Use fastboot commander to flash that image on recovery partition.

Now you should have a s-off device with all the engineer power with working radio, sdcard and recovery - just flash any 32B rom and you should be good to go... good luck.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] novicebg:
Hello, guys!

How do you make an alphabetic playlist on your music player? Because the in build player of the Mini makes a complete mess from the files. No alphabetic order. I like to store all my music files in 1 single folder from where to play them. And I didn't have such problem with my previous SE java based phones.

Recently I read a topic on the net, to use Astro File manager to create a playlist, but there are a few files, that remain unordered every time. They go at the end of the playlist although their names have "a" or "b" or "c" at the beginning. So what player do you use, guys?

And one more question - is there any nice player, that has an equalizer and is able to do proper playlists?

Thanks for help in advance!

I am noticing that the screen orientation changes back and forth every once in a while. for example today I had the tab in the multimedia dock and noticed that it changed orientation and immediately changed back. When I am holding the tab it seems to act normal most of the time. I think it has done it once or twice while holding it. Do you think I should try exchanging it or do you think this is more normal? Any help would be great.

Thanks!

Winimage worked for me

I used winimage a couple of days ago and follow a video on how to use it worked for me . I had iniatially tried Win32diskimager but couldnt find a youtube video to watch to know how to use it . I had to do my sd card twice though as I installed the cm7 and then went back and tried to install the gapps to no avail . I redid the card and installed the cm7 and gapps at the same time and it worked . Now I am trying to work out how to dual boot, I fluked it once into b and n stock with the card in . Love to know how you are suppose to do it though, or do I have to do the multiboot file reinstall ?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigtuna00:
I used the instructions in the thread:

The only difference is I used Win32diskimager instead of WinImage. Other than that I did it exactly as in those instructions (which includes the multi-boot bootloader and installing gapps as a separate step).

After reinstalling apps from a backup/restore app they are working properly on the phone but dont show up under "my apps" in the market.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stackz!:
Hi all I am from the epic forums but I recently rooted an Evo for a friend so he could install wireless tether on it. I used the Autoroot 2.5 method and everything went perfect. I tested wireless tether and it worked fine so thinking I did a good job I gave it back to him that night.

Except there's a problem, since the phone is rooted I am not able to make and recieve ANY phone calls. If you call the Evo your phone will ring once and hang up. If I make a call on the rooted Evo, it rings a few times then says due to Error 16, you are not able to make or recieve any phone calls. Then it promptly transfers you straight to a Sprint Tech rep. I asked the rep for more information on what error 16 is and he said it due to "software updates" that makes the phone not be recognized by sprints network, and it something only THEY can fix. I hung up.

Anyway what I'm thinking is, the whole root went fine, except when the AutoRoot script installed the Sprint Lovers rom and Radio updates. (Why on earth does it do that?) I'm thinking that's what caused the error 16. Has anyone ever even heard of error 16 (and by searching and googling the answer is no), do you have anyway to remedy, or what is the simplest way to go back to stock and RE-ROOT an evo WITHOUT custom rom and custom radio?

Thanks!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
1. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever ; Scroll down to the FAQs, then download the unrevoked s-on zip. This places the security back on your phone, because rooting makes it s-off, and if s-on, quickest way to tell your phone was rooted.

2. Flash that file from recovery, then boot back into the bootloader [vol+down while turning phone on] and verify until its s-on.

3. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip ; rename that file to PC36IMG, place on the root of your sdcard [not in a folder] then flash it in the bootloader. When the scan that normally does nothing, it'll detect that file. Apply the update then reboot. That's a stock 3.70 firmware file, it'll take you back to stock, unrooted, s-on.

DO NOT TAKE THE OTA UPDAT AFTER UNROOTING. You should be on 2.2, then re-root.

Quick and easy > use unrevoked, download windows drivers, go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stackz!:
Ahh thanks for replying but 1 issue...

Before you replied, I restored the Evo to stock with "RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe". So now I am on a stock system with no recovery, but I still have S-OFF and no recovery to flash the S-ON tool (I'm assuming that's what the phone with the red exclamation point means).

How do I get the S-ON without a custom recovery and when Unrevoked3 won't give me root again?

Thanks so much!!

EDIT: Ok so I flashed Amon_RA back on by renaming it to PC36IMG and running that through hboot. I also flashed S-ON so that's all good... I'm gonna try running that file to go back to stock and seeing if error 16 has gone away. Will update!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stackz!:
Ok so regretfully even AFTER I turned S-ON, flashed back to stock, NO ROOT, the phone stills gives error 16 when dialing it. And only the sprint rep can fix that. Unfortunately they want to speak to the account holder, and he doesn't speak english. Why oh whyyy... measly thanks your way.

Have him do a profile and PRI update, sometimes that's needed when flashing between ROMs. If that doesn't do anything then it's most likely something on Sprint's end.

fre3vo is only temporary root, but it might open up possibilities for S-OFFing, etc. Anyone willing to follow those instructions and give fre3vo a try?

I just tried unpacking the above fre3vo zip file - the app wasn't called .apk so I renamed it and tried opening it. "Error parsing the package."
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
It's not an APK file, nor an Update.zip. They are binary programs without any Graphical User Interface and have to be run through the terminal, please read the instructions I provided below:

Extract Fre3vo.zip

open a command prompt and type in:

adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo

adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug

* Now, you should get a debug trace showing us scanning regions. If it doesn't, game over.

We're going to run this with different start and stop addresses...

adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start 10000000 -end 1FFFFFFF

adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start 20000000 -end 2FFFFFFF

adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start 30000000 -end 3FFFFFFF

adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start F0000000 -end FFFFFFFF

adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start E0000000 -end EFFFFFFF

Don't be surprised if the scan hangs, or the device spontaneously reboots. This is normal when doing blind memory scans. Just reboot the device, and start with the next scan.

XTC Clip is the only option now. You'll have to wait for HTC or Alpharev if you want to s-off using software. Or you could speak with some gsm service in your area - they should have an xtc clip and I'm sure they won't charge too much for s-off.
