There are a number of article on the net about GPS jamming. In the US Homeland Security routinely cuts GPS and if you are a pilot you will receive an advisory. But there is this:

http://www.economist.com/node/18304246

May not be related. Also, on another pilot forum, they are blaming certain types of GPS antenna for being jammed by cell towers.
[Defy General] tlongren:
I have the same issue. It worked ok for me yesterday while driving a long distance, but lost GPS after about an hour.

I can sometimes get a good enough fix to check in on foursquare, but not often.

I'm on official tmobile us froyo and have done factory reset, but it didn't help any.
[Defy General] scrannel:
Where are you located?
[Defy General] tlongren:
Iowa, USA. My standalone GPS device works perfectly here.
[Defy General] shock-UK:
My gps seem to be faulty too. In uk.

Sent from mobile.
[Defy General] ThermalDroid:
I always read this stuff just before I buy a phone:/ So it's a wide spread issue?

Might be getting that HTC 7 pro now :confused:
[Defy General] scrannel:
A link on a pilot forum tested (not sure if it was a phone or other device) a GPS drop-out the pilot was having consistently on the way to his airfield. He finally noticed that when he drove between two cell towers his GPS dropped signal. He retested this several times and with the same result.

John Deere is fighting a 40,000 cell tower development which would disrupt GPS on farm tractors which rely on GPS for movement. This is a Sprint deal with LightSquared.

Look around this site for more GPS woes: http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/GPS_Side_Issue_LightSquared_Broadband_204980-1.html
[Defy General] tlongren:
My gps actually worked today! Figured I'd try it going from hotel to water ski show, took about 2 minutes to get a gps signal. But once it did, it worked well and got us to our destination.

Nothing has changed with phone setup, so it's a bit inconsistent it would seem.

Will be trying it again in a few hours. Wish me luck. :)
[Defy General] Aeron_11:
Mine (UK stock Froyo 2.2) was the same, with A-GPS and data and WiFi all switched off it was struggling to get a fix, intermittently.

All GPS Status/Monitor apps showed that it finds many satellites but no locking.

Yesterday I got this app GPSFix from the Android Market and it locked in 1 min. After that all apps and monitors lock without any problem. I need to try more to be sure it was due to the app...
[Defy General] tlongren:
That's interesting Aeron_11. I'm gonna give GPSFix a try. Here's the market link if anyone is interested in trying it:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidlab.gpsfix

The reviews seem to be very good.
[Defy General] Brent099:
GPSFix doesn't do any good for me. It's the same old story. Sees lots of satellites but can't hold a lock on any of them for more than a couple of seconds.

Running CM7
[Defy General] Aeron_11:
Well, I did some more tests, and I think GPSFix wasn't quite as reliable as I originally thought !

Basically it is still very intermittent. Sometimes it takes 5min or more and sometimes 1min. I think it depends on many parameters:

- I would say weather is a factor, cloudy, windy etc.

- Standing next to a wall or a building - even if not tall it blocks the direct view

- Also I find if you are moving, it will be a lot harder. Stand completely still and not just stop walking but don't move the phone about too much !

- The latest I found is the direction you are holding the phone (and possibly angle) !? Experiment and you see it picks more satellites in certain angles !

All in all, I get a fix but it just takes a long time sometime. A good GPS antenna/hardware in a phone probably is much more reliable than this (my records is 9min, which to be honest puts it pass the practical use). Although this is with all the data and WiFi and other connections switched off.

The funny thing is once it locks it won't let go !? It keeps it locked and won't drop it - accuracy is so so.

By the way, the number of satellites found is not important, it's the strength of their signal (I think it might be called SNR - some monitors show the strength and you can see that until it finds 3 or 4 satellites with 25+ SNR it won't lock.)

I'm no expert, these are just my impression/experience, that's all....
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leolion38:
hello guys, i had recently rooted my xperia arc on2.3.3. And i am thinking of removing those bloatware in my phone. The question is... Will i still be able to update my phone in the future through ota/pc companion after i remove those bloatware and modify some user app into system app? =)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lastword112:
dont remove them, just freeze them with titanium backup.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leolion38:
thanks for the swift reply=) i want to freeze them too... if the arc's internal memory is big. Prob is xperia arc's internal memory is pathetic. Only 300mb=(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PollPixx:
With most big apps movable to sd I don't have problems with that...

sent from arc, optimus 2x or iPad2
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lastword112:
you can move any app to the sd with titanium backup, so let the internal memory be, only the apps that need to be available all the time, or if you need widgets to function then you need to keep that app installed in internal memory, otherwise move everything to sd, even the ones that cant be moved by default.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
And before updating we have to unfreeze them and are ready to update?

Some apps are always running which starts to annoy me and don't want to lose the ability to keep root and do OTA updates.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kistigun:
just remove them, i removed a lot of bloatware and pc companion & seus are still working. (and if they don't you can always use the flashtool)

What's the deal? From stock-installed froyo, rooted device, installed rooted apps, installed modded recovery, went to rom manager and downloaded cog, installed it with a data and cache wife, phone went thru its deal and finally tebooted but nothing was added, no new rom. I've tried like 3 time and this is the same process I did before.

I just realised when i pull down the notification bar, i would still see the keyboard's mark there...

I understand that this would be a known issue but would it be a cause for concern?
[Galaxy S II General] commodoor:
I wanted to post the same thing yesterday. but then i realized that i also had this on my Nexus One (amoled) after using the phone for 1,5 there weren't any problems.

So what i think everybody will have this, but it wouldn't be a bog problem.
[Galaxy S II General] sianzb0i:
my phone is just nice 1 mth old only and its alrdy like this.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
This was discussed a while ago. It's called ghosting or artifacting. I think it was attributed to an app conflict which makes sense because it doesn't seem to be widespread.
[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
If you have this issue, try doing factory reset, and see if it's still there. I don't have this issue and I've had it for almost 2 months now. I use it pretty hard core as well. If it were a hardware problem, I'd get it fixed under warranty. That's faulty if within the first 5 or 6 months your display burns in with normal usage.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Don't think it's caused by an app conflict. I think that's the limitation of amoled screens. After one month of usage, i can clearly see for a few seconds the 4 icons on the bottom of the screen when i pull down the notification bar.
[Galaxy S II General] sianzb0i:
So i guess no point sending back to samsung?
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Up to you. But ghosting effect will appear on any S2 screen sooner or later.

I use GO Launcher EX and GO SMS Pro and I am happy with them. What do you guys think about GO Contacts? is it fast?. If u guys use other GO products please state their name. Thank You!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Habarug:
I use:

Go SMS Pro and Go Launcher EX. To every1 who use Go Launcher I can recommend GoWidgets Calendar and Messaging, both are really cool and functional. I think Go Contacts is great, but unfortunately there is no Norwegian translation so I'll stick with TouchPal until that's fixed :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sacpe25:
I use Go keyboard and sometimes Go launcher Ex.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Habarug:
Aah, and I forgot that I use Go Weather as well. It looks really nice and I use the HTC widget skin :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] jonathanljs:
Have tried them all, but needed a lock-screen pop-up for SMS, so abandoned GoSMS for Handcent. Go Contacts was laggy when I tried it, now trying Contapps. Go Launcher Ex was OK, but since I'm using Elelinux 7.0 ADW works better. Still, I like their style!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Habarug:
To all you who followed my advice and use the GoWidgets, check this awesome transparent theme!!!!! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] bigpoppasmooth:
I've settled on Go Launcher EX and GoSMS, after trying ADW, Launcher Pro(paid) & and Handcent. All on recommendations from friends.

Overall I like the customizations, ease of use, and 'snappiness' of both apps over their marker alternatives.

I tried GoCalendar widget, but can't offer you anything more than, "I just really wasn't feelin' it"...if you can follow me on that.

GoWeather was ok, but again wasn't feelin' it. Decided on the weather app within Beautiful Widgets which I use as my clock widget.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] manfio:
I use the go launcher with a really great theme ( Real Black ) its so great :) and is fast

And use the calendar widget.

The weather i use the beautiful widgets only without animation.

have used the go sms pro, but I felt too slow.

What people are saying about myVision

Thanks

mbobino for writing the guide that made all of this possible.

KCS05DC for the original rom.

rmk40 for the Virtuous Vision Sense 3.0 kernel.

siulmagic for teaching me how to change the model name and trying to teach me how to build a flashable zip. I swear I will get it working someday!

Disclaimer:

This is my very first port so if anything happens it's your fault not mine.

]

Directions

1. WIPE - Factory Reset

2. Install Rom

3. Reboot and enjoy!

Downloads

myVision RC3.2 Download

Optional Downloads

Cyanogen's Development tools

Cyanogen's DSPManager

The following downloads are for testers only. If you download one of these files and flash it to your phone and something does not work right don't blame me. I am trying to get this rom finished but since I don't have the G2 anymore I am relying on you to help fix the issues.

Flash these files in recovery.

The first .zip is to hopefully enable the 4-way reboot options. download

Next is a .zip that should add more language support. download

I have pulled these two .apk's from CyanogenMod if for any reason I am requested to remove them I will do so. Until I recieve permission from Cyanogen I will not add them to the ROM but they are here for you as flashable zips.

Bugs

HTC FM radio is not working on RC3.1 - working on a fix now.

And if you would like to thank me for my work please feel free to buy me a beer donation link.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Changelog

myVision Final

Coming Soon.

Will be adding 4-way reboot (when I figure out how to do it)

Will be editing updater-script so that you aren't just looking at a blank screen while it is installing (again when I figure out how to do it.)

If you know how to do any of this and wouldn't mind teaching me I would appreciate it, I don't want someone to do it for me but I would love to learn how to do it for myself.

RC3.2 - 8/22/2011 - Current Version

Added TTS support

Made a few tweaks to make battery life even better.

RC3.1

Fixed Swype

Added HTC FM Radio

Changed name of phone from T-Mobile myTouch 4G to myVision

Moved as many of the apps as possible to the data/app/ folder so that they will be user uninstallable. Many apps won't work in this folder so the ones that won't are still in the /system/app/ folder and can be removed with ES File explorer if you choose to remove them.

RC3

Pre-installed XDA app, ES File Explorer, and Google Talk

A few changes in the build.prop should make it run even better.

Finally added new market so no need for the extra download

Added 3.0 themed swype with the white keyboard and the light blue trace. I can't seem to get the actual 3.0 to install it always says unlicensed. So I will work on that for the Final version.

RC2

Fixed FC problems with touch input when using physical keyboard

Added Swype

RC1

Baked in Virtuous Sense kernel from rmk40

Fixed landscape issues

Fixed backlight issues

Forgot to add new market, the apk will be in the downloads.

v1.1 - added maps, new market, removed swype (until I can figure out how to fix it.)

v1.0 - initial release

Stock included apps

Barcode Scanner
Calculator
Calendar
Camcorder
Camera
Car dock
Clock

As long as the device you are creating a rom for comes with swype built in you can add it to your roms.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Ok guys I have been working on this all night and I finally got it going CORRECTLY. I tried to keep it as stock as possible so some of the bloatware is included some not. I will be uploading 2 versions in about an hour one with and one without. The homescreen does not rotate to landscape, but landscape works well now throughout the UI. I was able to fix the backlight issues on the keyboard and the touch buttons and now you no longer have to flash a different kernel, I finally learned how to use dsixda's kitchen and cooked it in. I still need to modify the build prop and the updater.script a little but it is working fine for now.

And that battery life :eek: :eek: wow! Let me know if you've tried it :) I tried extended settings from someone but this didn't work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
lol no I meant that I'm running a ROM without flashing for 3 days straight... which is a record. Battery life is insane good though: I got 24 hours with heavy use and it still had 15% left :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Sorry, I was not clear! I meant when you tried the Kingdom mod :) 3 days straight would be a record for me too! :rolleyes: but gonna try it now, have to do some other things too besides flashing :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
Guys I will have the text to speech added this weekend. I actually already have it added in the new ROM but my home internet is down and there is no way I am going to upload it over 3G.

You mean the background? That is really the only thing you can take out for use on other roms.

The actuall theme runs in espress the special version of sense running on t-mob devices
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] malloy0:
Sorry, no, not the background. I mean the skin, theme or apk itself?

I cannot locate it in the rom. Not sure where this theme, so to speak is "stored".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
It is in the system/app/ folder. There are a few of them but as the previous poster said they will only work on espresso. Which is the special version of Sense 2.1 for the myTouch 4G.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bsbokc:
I am uploading 3.2 now. It has text to speech intergrated and a couple of small fixes as well to improve battery life. It will be up in about 20 minutes let me know what you guys think.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] M9x3mos:
Downloading now.

Debating wipe coming from rc3.1 probably try without and wipe re flash if I have issues.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
nice! downloading now! It doesn't autowipe during the install right? I will just wipe the cache and dalvik

Ash did a full wipe and no go with text to speech. Did I mess something up?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] M9x3mos:
Its weird, after first boot will show for a second then force close and never show again. Just immediate force close when clicking voice to text in settings. Can't seem to get it working wiped and flashed a few times.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
3.2 sounds awesome! I heard there was a bug with the FM radio in 3.1, is that solved? If not, will Spirit FM Radio work with this new rom?

With a full wipe TTS should be working now. Can any of you give me a logcat of the force closes?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] M9x3mos:
Gonna try again how should I do full wipe?

I did factory data reset, then cache, then dalvik battery pull factory data reset flash

Need desire z hboot?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] malloy0:
Ok, understand will not work on another ROM. Perhaps I can decompile and port to another ROM.

But if it is in the system/app/ I cannot find it. Any idea of the file name? Or to help even more, post it via upload here?

Thanks in advance for the help.
