[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamui957:
Okay, I live in Louisville, KY. Lo and Behold, a month after I get Sprint service, it all goes to hell. We've had an outage that effects what totals up to be half the city.

Pretty much, if you happen to be in any of the areas affected you are left without reliable CDMA/EVDO coverage. Either you'll only get 2 bars that will go up to 4, even flash all 6 before crashing down to roaming, or you'll just stay in roaming, 0-1 bar of rare reception even while roaming. Irony? Cricket (which uses Sprint) works PERFECTLY. 5 bars in the same building and on the same curb. AT&T and Verizon too, both working just fine.

Sprint refuses to exchange the phone because when I'm near an Airwave (they sent me one which only works in my room, go to the kitchen and lose reception) I get all 6 bars. They claim that since I get full bars at the store, it's just part of the outage so they won't even think that I Might have a reception issue on top of the outage.

Anyway, to try and cut this long story short (too late)

I think I've tried just about everything. I've tried the EVDO hack with the PRLs and in the end I just kept getting good signal, and then 3G would die completely and never come back. 01337, 31337, 00001, none worked.

I've tried stock and MikG 2.2, fully updated radios and everything.

I've tried testing this in areas not effected and it seemed to work okay. Couldn't really stress test it on the network, but it seemed fine. I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?

If there's a known outage, I don't blame them for not exchanging the device. That would just needlessly generate exchanges for perfectly working devices.

A parity bit is a bit that is added to ensure that the number of bits with the value one in a set of bits is even or odd. Parity bits are used as the simplest form of error detecting code.

There are two variants of parity bits: even parity bit and odd parity bit. When using even parity, the parity bit is set to 1 if the number of ones in a given set of bits (not including the parity bit) is odd, making the entire set of bits (including the parity bit) even. When using odd parity, the parity bit is set to 1 if the number of ones in a given set of bits (not including the parity bit) is even, keeping the entire set of bits (including the parity bit) odd. In other words, an even parity bit will be set to "1" if the number of 1's + 1 is even, and an odd parity bit will be set to "1" if the number of 1's +1 is odd.

Even parity is a special case of a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), where the 1-bit CRC is generated by the polynomial x+1.

If the parity bit is present but not used, it may be referred to as mark parity (when the parity bit is always 1) or space parity (the bit is always 0).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nugget210:
I've recently discovered Tasker (fantastic app!) and I'm trying to automate a few things including turning on/off GPS under certain circumstances.

Apparently Google have disabled the ability for third party apps to play around with GPS in 2.3+.

Has anyone come across a way around this at all? I'm using VillianROM 1.4. As this is pretty much stock in a lot of ways, I think this might be the issue.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wesz-T:
According to forum post on droidforums only system apps can change the GPS state.

GPS Tasker Plugin Failure

I'm unable to get the Secure Settings plugin to launch my GPS with Tasker; GPS is working absolutely correctly on the phone.

Here's my configuration:

- Samsung Galaxy S II i9100

- Sensation ROM 3

- Android version 2.3.6

- Baseband version I9100XXKI4

- Kernel version 2.6.35.14-Siyah-v2.6.5+gm@ubuntu #53

Secure Settings Helper v1.1.3

Helper v1.1.0 Installed

Tasker (version 1.2m)

Setup:

GPS Auto-Launch (Task name)

GPS Test (App for testing) > GPS On

< GPS Off (exit)

I can try this with any number of GPS apps on my phone and it simply does not turn on GPS.

SecureSettingsHelper.apk is in /system/app with permissions 644:

- user: read, write

- group: read

- others: read

Secure Settings Options: I've tried disabling everything but GPS without success.

I've enabled Device Administrator without success.

Is anyone able to shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance!

I've tried converted Tasker to a system app and the result is still the same - plugin fails to activate GPS. Using the test button on the the plugin GPS On event produces the error, Warning: Action GPS isn't available on this device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selection16:
mpierce, did you enable tasker as a device administrator after you converted it to a system app? I seem to remember mine de-selected itself when I moved it.

Otherwise maybe it's worth a shot trying Widgetsoid as a plugin (make it system app/administrator of course).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hrithan2020:
That's not the way. You should select Plugin->Secure Settings-> Edit Configuration->ANd then select GPS on.

Also, I'd suggest disabling use wireless networks also. [provided u don't use any app, that needs to get your location like say a weather widget, which finds your location and then only updated]. It usually , helps in improving battery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
I've installed Secure Settings and the Helper Plugin, and have enabled Device Administrator in the Secure Settings menu, but when I edit a Tasker profile and select GPS from the "Misc Action" section I'm still getting the message "sorry that action is unavailable on this device"

I'm running XWKI4.

???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s1m:
In the secure settings app, go to options and make sure that GPS has a green tick next to it.

mpierce, you can't use the standard GPS action in tasker you have to switch GPS using the secure settings plugin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michalurban:
I have done all those things. I can enable camere for example. But when I select GPS, the plugin says, that this "option is unavailable" ...
[HTC EVO 3D] subliminal609:
Dev's.....being that this is a really high end device..with sense 3.0...when dev roms for this device, what will be different, like what bennifits will this device have on cooking other than a few seconds faster response time and the lack of need to pay attention to what screen (knock on wood) we have for FPS issues? Again I know what the specs mean as far as performance, but the EVO, EPIC nd the NS4G with half the memory, only one core at a slower clock and less powerfull GPU still are incredible--ly (no pun intended at all) responsive when rooted. Just wondering what all this hardware means when were talking about making a ROM that stands out and shows that this is "THAT" device! Maybe its already been asked in here, and I'm not an a$$ so if it has been please delete this thread and verbally assult me ;) bc hell.. if it has been asked I am more than aware how to use the search tool and should be scorn for it lmao! But no, I'm serious tho i'm just lazy lol. And I've been wondering this since launch day when I bought one at 730 in the morning how awesome it was going to be when it was unlocked (by htc on release :mad:) lol, but ever since Ive had it I can't wait till the development booms on this thing like the first couple months and still on the EVO! I'm so glad XDA is what it is, which is half the reason I've been anxious to switch back to an HTC device after my EVO broke and I bought a NEXUS and an EPIC just to buy another OGEVO 2 months before the 3VO3d dropped. Thanks for everything XDA. Can't wait to see what this thing will do!
[HTC EVO 3D] xenx:
My Epic lagged on a semi-regular basis. It was barely noticeable when it happened, but it happened a lot. The Evo 3d has been awesome.. I just can't wait until we can clean house on it.

Seems like 6 other people who say it helped are smoking crack too, uh? Don't tell me its a placebo affect when as soon as I did it, my keyboard is much more responsive. I used to have to double tap keys all the time but now my first and every tap is registering. Just because it does nothing for you, doesn't mean it didn't do anything for me know it all. I think I have a little bit more mobile knowledge than to be fooled by the placebo affect.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
No **** its nothing special. I'm sure plenty of people have done it since day one. Im just sharing my experience by making a thread. If it helped me, I'm sure it will help others. It obviously wont help everyone since there is probably different causes for the screen lag.

I was hoping this would work, but didnt do much for me either. My lock screen isnt so bad, but after unlocking, my screen is so unresponsive for about 5 seconds. It drives me nuts and makes me want to wish I still had my G2x
[HTC Sensation] :
I wouldn't because this is one of the key ways HTC knows all the issues we're having without emailing them every time to tell them. Leaving this on helps them give us an update that fixes the issues that it reports.

If we all turn it off then then HTC will think all is fine and dandy in the Sensation world. Get what I mean?
[HTC Sensation] tenbeau:
I am sure what you say is true, but before turning it off, there were many instances of random reboots etc which were not reported to HTC. Seems as if only a select few were sent. I find after turning it off that the device is smoother and faster and have not had a random reboot or unlock screen issues. I have other issues that still persis though. My replacement unit is due to arrive today, so will try it for a day or two with HTC on and then try it with HTC off and see what a difference it makes.:)

Turn it back on if you see something wrong or the phone starts acting up.

I did it and unfortunately I haven't noticed anything...

My Sensation is still sluggish and it uses the same amount of memory.

I really think this is just some tiny service that kicks in when an error occurs but the rest of the time sits there taking almost 0 resources. My vote goes for the placebo effect as some mentioned earlier...

it could be just a small service because i don't see a change about free memory. anyway, i prefer to send problem by myself than HTC try to connect on my phone.

"In one common placebo procedure, however, a patient is given an inert pill, told that it may improve his/her condition, but not told that it is in fact inert. Such an intervention may cause the patient to believe the treatment will change his/her condition; and this belief may produce a subjective perception of a therapeutic effect, causing the patient to feel their condition has improved. This phenomenon is known as the placebo effect."

You were told it would improve speed and so you make yourself believe it did...very common. Placebo is very powerful :)

Didn't improve anything on mine but I don't believe it's just placebo. Look how many people reported everything is better. I doubt everyone got fooled by this effect.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Whatever man. I told you once and ill tell you again. Up until I did this, my keyboard would require double taps here and there. My display was not being responsive some of the time. As soon as I did this, my keyboard became responsive as ****. I haven't had to double tap a key yet. How do you explain this because quite frankly, single tapping verse double tapping is not placebo. While your at it, go ahead and explain this one too. I picked mg wife's Sensation up and switched it off for her. I didn't tell her what I was doing since she doesn't really know anything about phones. After she used her phone for a while, she told me, whatever I did, made her phone feel faster and she can type better. Lastly, I play HomeRun Battle 3D and since day one it would do a laggy jerk every once in a while. Usually it would happen every couple of minutes. Since turning this service off, the game hasn't done the laggy jerk at all.

Stop trying to act like you know more than anyone else here who is saying it improved there devices. It worked for me and that's all you need to know.
