MIUI and CM7 which MIUI is based on are indeed super smooth roms for me and bunch of other people. I've been on MIUI for a month now and that in itself is sign of how good MIUI is, I love to flash my phone, one of the reasons I came back to SGS and android after an iOS episode.

My point is that I cannot believe all the issues you have with all these roms.

Every android lags every now and than even SGS 2, u learn to live with it. Even iOS has micro lags sometimes, granted I had 3gs but in general iOS is miles ahead of android when it comes to that. So trade ur SGS for an iphone and have a lag free life. Well, almost.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:
lemme think...

easiest way is flashing a custom-rom with htc sense 2.5, it comes with an app called "audio booster" which gives you an equalizer w/ presets. most of these roms also have modded audio drivers cooked in for better sound (at least of ultrashot's dynamics i know for sure).

then there were quite some apps for win mobile, but they're are all very old by now. if you don't want to flash a sense-rom, you could search for "srs wow hd". another audio-driver, but iirc there were always problems with it...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1gangstabob2:
I've had WOW HD buy now and did not work. I already have a 826x ROM. Audio booster also tried and it didn't do much. I just want to be clear about the problem, its about that i o not have the original headset of the X1 wich you get in the pack if you buy the phone, i have a completely different headset. On the right side of the headset i don't hear anything and in the other only a echo with kggg sounds.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:
yeah well, if stock is working, then it's not on the phone.

how's your headset, does it work on another device? have you really tried different headsets or just the one?

stock-headset isn't specially recognized as "original SE".
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1gangstabob2:
I am not using an SE headset, but the headset works on other devices pretty wel.

But I think to see another problem, when playing a song, the audio is the same as on the headset. Maybe there is a problem in the audio files? (although it sounds a little weird)

Hi guys,

I followed the guide here after confirming I had Android 3.1 installed on my Xoom 3.2GB wifi only (Cdn market):http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1078019&highlight=bootloop

I am able to load ClockworkMod no problem, and I flashed the WiFi_RootTool_3.1.zip no problem and it scrolled through it's text and told me it was done. I then told ClockworkMod to reboot.

However, upon reboot my Xoom is stuck in infinite 'boot loop' - Can anyone provide some thoughts on how to Root it? I've returned it to stock and tried doing it again, but with the same problem....
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Check your version of CWM recovery. You are best off using the Tiamat custom recovery 3.2.0.0 R4c from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074979 with an external microsd card. containing the file you want to flash in your Xoom. If you use Rom Manager, it will install v4004 which doesn't recognize the microsd card, and won't let you flash from it or back up to it. From your description, I'm guessing that that is your problem.

If this is not the problem and you have the right recovery file, and you are using the external microsd card in your Xoom to flash, then it may be that the zip file you are flashing is either a bad download or incomppatible with the 3.1 update on your Xoom. At any rate, once we figure out the cause we can solve the problem.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterslacker:
My guess would be that the user is trying to use the Wifi root tool for the US 3.1 rom, to try to root the Canadian 3.1 rom, which is very different. There will definitely be problems with this method.

My suggestion would be to just install the Tiamat Hammerhead Rom, which will turn his xoom into a USA 3.2 xoom, and give him lots of useful features which the stock roms are lacking :)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mister Hat:
What do you consider a "lock". I consider it within 40-20 meters of accuracy, as that is the most accurate i've gotten.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pbcal:
You can get 40-20 meters of accuracy just from mobile signal. You do not need GPS data for that. With GPS you can get close to 10' for accuracy. It depends on how may satellite signal your phone gets.

Try GPS test from market to see how good you GPS is doing..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mister Hat:
Haha wait really? With gps enabled and 5 or 6 satelites in use I get 20 meters at best, usually not. Without gps on i get 800 meters.. lol whats wrong? CM7 nightlys fauxs latest kernel.

PS i have gps test and have 6 satelites in use as stated above.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
Here ya go.

I went back outside and Maps said 20 meters, hit my location until it said 10, then fired up GPS Test and took the cap. If I'm reading this right it say about 100ft, that's 3 times 10 meters. It does seem to know what street I'm on when I'm driving.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mister Hat:
Thanks a bunch. This is really annoying. It may just be where I am?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] se1zure31:
Ya I always thought that when the icon stops blinking that it was actually locked on. In GPS Status it seems to be that way as well. Once the icon stops blinking you get all the information about your location and such. CM7 seems to take awhile to get GPS lock in maps and GPS status. I usually just start GPS status prior to using maps and it seems to help get a better/quicker lock than just using maps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mister Hat:
Haha well thanks for rendering my thread irrelevant guys, haha. Well I guess the answer is when the icon stops blinking. I guess that pretty much about wraps this thread up.

Phburks I'll definitely go geocaching before the summer ends. Hope my GPS works for that :p haha
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Lol Im actually glad you asked your initial question. I've wondered myself what different people mean when they say it takes forever to get a a GPS lock, or when they say they get a really fast GPS lock.

And yea definitely give geocaching a try. GPS will get you within a few feet. After that you'll have to rely on the clues given in the cache description online. Its actually pretty fun.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] KeithLM:
It seems to me that CM7 is really ****ty when it comes to GPS and I'm glad this thread came up. It's interesting to see that some people don't realize how good it can be. In my experience when using maps and you zoom in, there should be little to no circle that indicates the accuracy. It can get to within a few meters, and be pretty spot on at times, and it should happen quickly. With the G2X and CM, it's actually pretty horrible, I'm seriously considering going back to stock because I know this phone (my third) handled GPS fine before I put CM7 on it.

I should also note that I saw similar problems with the Nexus One when I went from CM6 to CM7. I brought this up on XDA and people gave me all sorts of stupid advice, wipe caches, wipe the phone completely, use GPS Status to reset the AGPS data, etc. All things that were never a problem with CM6, yet with CM7 somehow I was expected to do all sorts of work to get GPS to work, and when I jumped through all those hoops it didn't make any difference.

I just wish I could find out if anybody is working on it. The Cyanogenmod forums just say the same things about how to "fix" GPS, but I never see any devs on there discussing what they are working on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
You should really try either Weapon G2x or EaglesBlood 2.3.3, both are based on the stock OTA and are a little more polished than CM on this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hoopduke:
Here is a question for you "Big Brained" people....

It is my understanding that you can get a lock with 4 satellites (TRUE?), yet I can have 7-10 satellites in view and "fixed" via GPS Status and yet the phone will not provide locked coordinates.

Any ideas as to why? (This is more of a learning/knowledge question than a request for FIX)

Cheers!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mister Hat:
How accurate are you getting on Maps? I usually have 4-6 satelites although it takes around 30 seconds to get to 20 or 10 meter accuracy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eXoNeraTeD:
My lock is terrible. Running CM7 Nightlies without the OTA baseband. After a minute it is still accurate to 2k meters. After about 2 or 3 minutes, depending on how my phone feels apparently, I MIGHT get an accurate of 20 meters lock. Really sucks. QQ.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KeithLM:
Four satellites should work fine, because with any three points you can pinpoint a location on a 2-dimensional plane (hence the term triangulation), and with 4 points you can find the location in 3-dimensions, which is needed for GPS. My best guess is that more satellites provide better accuracy because of signal loss, interference, jitter, signal reflections, etc.

As for issues with having a bunch of satellites and no lock, well that's just the problem we're discussing. There's something seriously wrong with the software. People who tell you that you need a clear view of the horizon are just wrong, these phones can often get a good GPS lock from inside some buildings, and on city streets with all sorts of obstructions, and hold that lock as you travel. But the G2X plus Cyanogen (and from my own experience the Nexus One plus CM7) have serious issues with not properly locking on those signals.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
I don't think you can blame Cyanogen for any of the G2x's problems... that's really a stretch. The GPS issues exist on the stock ROMs as much as on anything else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KeithLM:
See my first post above. My first two G2X's had bad GPS, the third was good, very good in fact, not as good as the Nexus One, but quick to lock on and fairly accurate and had no trouble holding a lock. Once I put Cyanogen on it the GPS became practically useless. I don't think it could reliably navigate me anywhere based on the behavior I see from it sometimes. Yesterday while I was riding in a car it would randomly jump miles back on my route then catch up again, but it was never actively following where I was going. If you run it stock and can't get a lock, exchange it. But if you're running CM7 don't jump to conclusions about the GPS.

CM7 on my Nexus One caused it to routinely drop lock. Occasionally in Maps as I drove along it the arrow would spin around and around, and it would often take several seconds between refreshes and so it wouldn't follow my course. Prior to CM7, with stock ROMs and multiple versions of CM6 the GPS was rock solid.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aszure3:
I am getting an insta lock with about 19ft error with 7 sats locked. After sitting a little bit I have gotten down to only a 9ft error with 8 sats locked. To top it off though I am indoors.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
My GPS tends to lock on very quickly when I want it to navigate (the large blue circle shrinks down to less than the width of the street.) BUT, and here is a huge but, it always loses the locked on state and has to restart. It's as if the GPS restarts itself, even though it has a perfectly good lock.

On second thought, the GPS might not restart, it just has a crappy signal, so it fluctuates from a very tight blue circle to a very large one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Bull****. Mobile signal puts me over a half mile away almost anywhere.

I consider 3 meters a "lock " lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I think with mobile signal the accuracy of your location depends on how far you are from the cell tower, how many cell towers the phone can detect, the signal strength, etc. For me my location is fairly accurate to within about 20-30 meters using the mobile signal alone. GPS gets mine right down to within a couple meters.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
Agreed.

At home, cell signal alone will put me about a mile off shore in the middle of Puget Sound, I also get a poor signal and mostly rely on WiFi calling now that I can. I have noticed that it works much better, consistently getting the 20 to 30 meters lock, when I am in an area with better coverage.
