So I was wondering why some people with the new baseband where having issues getting instant locks.

Well it happen to me too and It couldn't get a lock. Really frustrating. Probably first thing everyone that likes to have a working GPS do is flash a different ROM. No more!

to fix this, what you need to do is the following:

Go to settings>applications>maps

Under maps

-Clear data

-Clear cache

-Uninstall updates

Open maps with an open sky first to download the required data, open GPS and BAM instant lock!

Try it and let me know if it works for you too

Gonna give this a try in the morning, will report back with results. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] userno69:
So we need an old version of google maps for it to work?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
You don't have to have an older version, you can immediately update through market to the newest if you like.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] shamwow:
Not trying to sound like a smarta$$, but if you're standing outside for a few minutes attempting this "fix", the GPS (unless disabled) is obtaining its lock in the background and is not dependent on the maps service. You could spend 10 minutes outside playing with your ding dong, then open maps and BAM! Instant lock!

Maybe somebody who isn't a noob like myself can confirm this, but I think you may have been too close to the trees to see the forest on this one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
If you install a AOSP ROM without Gapps you will notice that Navigation (gps) is not included until you either flash gapps or download "maps" from the market, since navigation is included with maps.

When I said I was getting instant locks I was actually referring to navigation and not to maps even though that I'm getting 6 meters of accuracy with maps.

Hope that helps

I had a bad GPS with my first G2X. Called tmo customer service and got a new one and now it locks on within 5-20 seconds. It's hardware, none of the software fixes worked for me.

You need to open maps and let it download the data. Close gps open it, and you should great instant lock.

GPS isn't used unless an app enables it. Your phone isn't always searching for GPS lock in the background. It it activates when you open an app that uses it.

Thanks dude...that works for me....:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hoopduke:
No luck for me.

Interesting note: using GPS STATUS, I can get data from 8 satellites at a time without a fix/lock. The satellites however are all piloted on top of eachother. In otherwords, the app knows the birds are there bit doesn't know where they are.

If I check the birds with the hidden menu, same thing. The birds are there but zero azimuth angle and "false" ephimerus(?) data.

It seems like a simple software issue.....pull the data from the birds signals?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aburn95:
Thanks for the help
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blkmz3:
Worked for me.. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
Maps has nothing to do with the GPS system, it's just an app.

This can't be anything more than a placebo. If you're opening maps to 'let it download data' the phone has started trying to get a GPS fix, that's why when you close it and open something it gets a quick lock, because half the work is already done.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
And who said otherwise?

this actually how gps should be used, either open maps, download days then navigation or look for the address in maps then get directions, and bam gps locks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
So your kinda just passing the time 'til the GPS locks really?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Thanos1:
Just confirmed that this actually works. Before this "fix", i was getting 2-4 satellites indoors and that was after about 1 minute of searching. After the fix, i instantly got 7 satellites indoors (by my window).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Nope, open maps, hit menu button, get directions, enter address and gps locks.

I don't have to sit and wait till it locks, is instant.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] csbz8:
works!

This worked for me. I got an instant lock for Google Maps, but it still takes it a good couple of minutes if you're using the Navigation application. Is there a way to help it lock on faster with this App?

Thank you =)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k00zk0:
Clicking uninstall removes the maps app from my phone...

For those that this fix worked on: Reboot your phone and try for an instant lock again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] the_cosworth:
Fixed for me now too and I dont even have a G2x. Thanks :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
"Thanos1" <-- Which app did you use to count the satellites ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] hhwong:
So far, i am getting instant lock indoor right after i did what he instructed. However this has happened to me before sometimes, note SOMETIMES......sometimes I had to wait only 2 seconds before I get the gps locked and navigation starting to say something, and sometimes it could take up to 2 hours and still not getting a lock.

I need a few more days before I can confirm this fix actually works permanently.

If it doesnt get fixed permanently, I hope this will at least end up being a good quick fix solution for a lot of us.

I am using WeaponG2x 3.0 btw, not sure if it is only my rom or what. I heard people running stock rom are having amazingly fast gps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
You're better off having GPS status and using it to pull in the towers then switching to maps. Most of the time I can get an instant lock with maps but alot of the time I have to get the lock first with GPS status, which is usually instant, then switch to maps and then get the instant lock with maps, or wait five seconds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hhwong:
After a day of testing, this method do work to some extend. I couldnt get a lock before even with gps status, now IF I PULL GPS STATUS G-GPS DATA OUT FIRST.......then I get instant lock. And I get the A-GPS data out real quick on GPS status now after applying this "fix".

However, the major issue I have with this gps is that, in google navigation it is STILL NOT fixed. It now either gets the gps locked down and start providing me direction instantly, or it just get stuck "searching for gps" forever. Its all luck now somehow.....

Further testing needed....!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hhwong:
Nope, this fix does not work, today my gps is screwed again. Not getting a lock now even I repeat the test. Seems like I was just lucky that day.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Try rebooting then doing GPS status, etc. Mine went buggy yesterday and I did a reboot, launched GPS status and got an instant lock. I honestly don't think there is any one permanent solution, short of upgrading the technology of the GPS.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
That's my trick. Running GPS status once will give me instant locks in maps, latitude, etc. until I restart the phone .

Making bad decision's one at a time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] francoghini:
Could someone please explain the directions in more detail. I haven't any success yet. I have cleared the maps data but after that its pretty unclear, just open maps and it should work like magic? Help would be really appreciated thanks :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hhwong:
I tried, when I say I am not getting a lock I really mean it, lol. GPS Status, no luck; google map, even worse; FasterFix, tried both ca.pool.ntp.org AND north-america.pool.ntp.org, no luck.

I own a canadian g2x from wind mobile, so I cant even update to the latest baseband.......it is using the june 4th verion i believe, Id like to get the july 15 version but it seems to be a problem for me.....anyone from canada ever updated their baseband on windows 7?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hhwong:
So this time I stopped updating google map, using the version came with weapon 3.0 rom, and suddenly my gps is working again......i am starting to think that g2x actually dont have any gps issues its just google map being ****ty with the updates.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
In not sure about that. I don't seem to have any gps issues after updating maps with my Sensation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
Are people having trouble getting a lock when only enabling the GPS satellite or even when having both the GPS and network locator enabled?

For me, I can't get a lock when just on GPS, but get an instant lock when having both enabled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] humanstorm:
Ok, It worked for me. I flashed my G2x with CM7.2 and install GAPPS. When it comes to download the Map, I walked outside and download it. I disabled the GPS icon on the phone and enabled again for the heck of it. And turn on Navigation App that came with the Map app. It worked like instantly. I will keep updates with you whether this is just one time thing or long term fix.
[LG Optimus 3D] rebelwarrior:
Hi lads can anyone explain what is keeping the device from shooting 1080p in 3d?
[LG Optimus 3D] Mooks:
It's the lgsoftware... the prozessor is able to prozess 1080p videos in 3d.

It's only a matter of time...

My optimus 3D wrote it with xda app
[LG Optimus 3D] Jabbypants:
Isn't it a restriction of the current 3D? as it seems odd there is 3x 3D phones, this, evo and the sharp and they all only do 3D @ 720p and the Sharp has 8mb cameras in also and the 3D snaps are restricted @ 2mp .
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
I suspect that the restriction affords us some extra battery life because processing that amount of dadta will not only saturate rvery bus in the phone and fill the memory rapidly, it will also hammer the battery life.
[LG Optimus 3D] stefankorun:
http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wt...ntId=53243&navigationId=12843&templateId=6123

According to TI we can't. The only thing that might give us hope is that our chipset can record 3d with both cameras at 5mp not just at 2 or 3mp as it is now.
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
Aha, only the 4460 supports 1080p 3D. This is probably due to the higher clock speed though of 1.5ghz so if we eventually can overclock it could maybe be done. That is making the assumption that these SOCs are "binned" similarly to regular desktop cpus where all 44xx are 4460s but the ****tier batches recieve the designation 4430 and are sold at a lower clock speed.
[LG Optimus 3D] rebelwarrior:

[LG Optimus 3D] Lagamorph:
Can you really see that much difference between 1080p and 720p? Personally I don't think the rather tiny quality differences would be worth the increase in file size that the 1080 quality video would bring, not to mention the reduction in battery life.
[LG Optimus 3D] cinemano:
only we really need the phone to do is to record at 1080p which it already does, but putting each lens information into each side of it, just like the 720p does.. its not really 2X 1080p that gets recorded. its one 1080p cut in two
[LG Optimus 3D] borgqueenx:
I find it weird that all the 3d phones have dual >5mp camera's but cant shoot abve 3mp...this makes me think the evo3d and the sharp have a second 2mp camera instead of a 5. And the optimus 3d got a second 3mp camera.

Prove me wrong...no one did research on this matter as far as i am aware.
[LG Optimus 3D] rebelwarrior:
I definitely can see a difference between 720p and 1080p especially when I watch it on a large screen(>50inches) and about the battery - if you would need 720p and less battery drain you just could switch between two of them but it would be very handy to have 3d full hd camera in your pocket
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
If you cant tell the difference between 720 and 1080 you have eye problems and should get them looked at.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Banggugyangu:
So.... We're done to less than a month until the Bionic arrives. One of few things that isn't 100% confirmed but is fairly strong in the rumors is the existence of Webtop capabilities.

My proposal is simply for a sub-forum under "Android Development" of the bionic forums dedicated strictly to Webtop development. This same organization could be applied to the Atrix and any other future phones that support the same capabilities.

I would honestly go so far to say that there should also be a "Roms" sub-forum. The draw-back for this organization is that moderation would have to be heavy due to idiots posting in the wrong forums... but IMO, if the mods are willing do keep track, then this would be a good trade-off.

I got my A953 (UK) to send texts and make telephone calls on T-Mobile USA, but had a lot of difficulty getting any data to work - not even 2G.

I thought the Milestone 2 supports 3G on 900 and 2100 MHz, and T-Mobile USA uses 1700 and 2100 MHz - doesn't this mean the Milestone 2 should be able to access 3G data on the 2100 MHz frequency?

You can set the update frequency time for the Email app. You just need to go to Settings -> Accounts -> "Exchange" or "Pop3" account -> Account Settings.

Granted that I am using Exchange so I am not too sure if that works for Pop but I think if the setting is there, it should also work for Pop3 account.

I am on KG5 so I am not sure if that is a new feature or not as I can't remember with the older version. I was using Moxier Mail previously which allows you to do that as well.

Solution: 3rd party app

- Show the default number of 8 apps (rather than 6) in the recent apps list (accessible by long-pressing the Home key)

- Hide the notification bar in the Browser app.

I have forwarded emails with attachments pleanty of times on the stock email app (note, not the GMail app).

Hi

I am not too sure but I am able to set peak and off-peak schedule. So my current sync is push during peak hour and 15 minutes sync during off peak. You can also set the time which is peak and off peak.

If you need more fine grain control over it, I didn't know HTC can do it. I got a htc sensation at home maybe I can try with that.
