[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiefroastbeef:
My GPS isn't very accurate, but I am in the heart of Hong Kong, so I can't expect it to work well with so much interference. It would detect my exact location in Maps, but it the blue arrow won't lock, and jumps around to as far as two blocks away.

I've tried some gps improvement apps, but they do not work for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] langas:
mine sgs2 does not have very good acuracy. My old htc desire was very acurated compared with sgs2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bverilo:
Wow, sorry but i kinda laugh when i saw the ziggyzag lines. No, the GPS shouldn't be that way, I've used mine several times while driving and it just flows smoothly, like a real GPS device! Once I even had 10 out of 10 satellites locked in a few seconds!

Maybe the GPS in your phone is defective or something, I say exchange your unit for a new one. Hopefully it's still under warranty
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjtj4444:
You cannot tell that from that log. It depends on the circumstances, e g bad reception due to high buildings can easily cause problems like this.

I suggest jankher does some more tests in others locations.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bverilo:
Yeah jankhner, do some more tests, probably in some other place. Update us what happens
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxip:
Interested in this thread.

I've had my SGS2 for a couple of weeks and have been testing the GPS for accuracy. From my experiences, the accuracy is OK when you are using a 'proper' satnav app (e.g. CoPilot) as the system knows to try and keep the arrow in the middle of the road.

However, one of my hobbies is Geocaching which I need an accurate GPS for and here's where I have had real problems. At a known cache location (i.e. standing exactly on top of it), my SGS2 showed 5 sats locked on, 25m accuracy & 32m to the cache !!! My HTC Wildfire (in my other hand) showed 8 sats locked on, 2m accuracy & 1m to cache.

Time to read more threads and see if this can be improved by software or if I'll have to think about keeping the HTC for caching (which would annoy my 11 year old who now has it) or consider selling the SGS2 and getting a HTC Sensation or Motorola Atrix.

Hello everyone, I started the procedures to do the upgrade of the Rom, for now I did unlock with odin3 and now when I turn on the tablet is an open padlock. But now I can not go any further, I installed jdk and Android SDK, but the controls do not respond fastboot device is not working, adbwinapi missing.

The driver folder I put it, and I modified the inf file.

I would like to put the rom is the SEO ROM

Now?

[HTC EVO 3D] dark alex:
Hi XDA!

I want to root my EVO 3D but have some questions.

If I understand this right you have to install CWM to root permanently. I want to stay with my stock ROM. Do I have to reflash it then?

Will I be able to reset my phone back?

Is there a way to gather ROOT without changing anythign in my bootloader / Recovery? I mean by working with the originla bootloader and recovery?

I have HBOOT 1.49.007

Thanks for your help!
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
The current method of obtaining root requires that you have a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, etc.) but you can leave everything else stock (including your ROM).
[HTC EVO 3D] Moonbloom:
You can leave everything stock, except the recovery. (That's what i've done)

Check out this post if you want some help on how to do it.

Sad times, my wife and I bought SGS2s a while back, and yesterday hers locked up, upon a reboot (battery pull), it no longer boots, simply hanging on the samsung splash screen.

I can get to download mode, but it halts when trying to write to nand flash, I can't get to recovery mode, & needless to say, neither KIES, nor windows see the device :-(

it was running original stock (O2) firmware, and had been rooted (months ago).

The worst thing is that we then find out that the "my backup" app doesn't back up movie clips, or sound recordings. *that* app is going to get a one star in the near future from me...

any hints or suggestions from the community? I'm guessing its a warranty job (but I can't get rid of the yellow warning triangle on the splash screen, nor can I return it to the UK, as we've just moved to New Zealand so I may be SOL).

*sigh*

If i was to buy an American model of the Sensation could I use it in the UK?
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
I believe it depends on the supplier you're gonna get it from.
[HTC Sensation] JoelyMole:
For example? Can you expand on your answer please?
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
There are two versions of the Sensation.

The Z710a and the Z710e. Make sure you are getting the one that you need.
[HTC Sensation] JoelyMole:
I see, not sure where i should look to now... I use giffgaff which runs on the 02 lines in the Uk, so I need to find out what model is compatible with their lines, right?
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
If you buy it from an individual store, it would work anywere, but if you buy it from T-Mobile, it will work for only T-Mobile SIM cards unless you get the unlock code from them.

My Sensation was from Saudi Arabia, from a normal store, and it worked in Egypt without any problems. :D

Edit: About the 2 Sensations, check those links :D

HTC Sensation - Specifications

HTC Sensation 4G - Specifications

HTC Sensation vs HTC Sensation 4G

The 4G mobile doesn't seem to support the real 4G talking about the internal radio. Look at the frequencies, they are almost the same just an extra one which is only available in Canada (as mentioned in GSM Arena). I believe the internet speed is almost the same on both phones.

The real difference to me seems to be in the Internal Storage, which is 4gb in Sensation 4g (Z710a) and only 1gb in the first Sensation (Z710e).

Good luck with your search xD :D

Edit2: AT&T and T-Mobile consider HSPA+ as 4G which obviously is supported by Sensation 4G. Now I'm confused hahah :D
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
No. They both have 4GB with only 1GB usable.
[HTC Sensation] JoelyMole:
I'm trying to buy it from a guy In American, It's the 4g I think. So your saying if i unlock it.. I should have no problems with it here in the UK?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WookieFan:
Hey all,

I did a short search for this info both in this forum and outside, and it seems like no one has come up with a solution yet. For the last thread like this one, please look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13160755

I flash ROMs regularly on my DInc, and I would like to start consolidating as much info as possible. Does anyone know of an app that will either transfer or sync bookmarks between phones/ROMs (ie, get the data on a SD card)? I am not interested in third party browsers - I'd like to keep it simple.

If I have to go searching through data directories, I will. But it seems as if this should be easier than that. I have heard of issues with Titanium Backup - often causes errors/fc's, so I am also not looking at that as a solution right now.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Do the following.

1. Reboot to recovery and wipe data,cache and dalvik cache(under advanced menu). Reboot your phone

2. Once your phone has booted, open Terminal Emulator and type the following

How is the analog FM radio reception quality on the Desire S?

The Aria has excellent reception but the HD2 is unusable.

I hope the Desire S radio sounds good as the Aria.

Any good?
[HTC Desire S] Elcs:
My HD2 was solid, good for FM Radio reception.

Can no longer test my Desire S because I don't have any earphones with an antenna left.
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
I'd say that the FM recption was "average" for a typical FM radio, BUT much better than I have seen on many other smartphones I have played with.

It's certainly MUCH better than my previous phone (HTC Blackstone).

I'm using it with Sennheiser headphones, so the leads may be longer than the HTC earpieces (which I haven't tried yet), so improving reception.

Here in Portsmouth UK the SD finds over a dozen FM stations and the reception is good enough to log the station names for most of them.

Thanks for imforming on that guys. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] stroom7:
On my Desire S the FM reception is not good, gets only strongest stations, where in same area I could with cheap Samsung phone get good reception for weaker stations as well.

I use Tune In instead but that uses data of course.

Are you already using the Google Reader android application? Want a better widget than the simple news ticker that comes with it?

Try APW Google Reader!

Unlike other news widgets this one should be considered as an extension to Google Inc's Google Reader application rather than a stand-alone widget.

■ You must install Google Reader before installing this widget.

■ The scroll button is only necessary on launchers that don't support scrollable widgets.

■ Refresh button only makes sure the widget is synced with the google reader application. Make sure 'Synchronize feeds' is enabled on your google reader's settings.

■ Themes only available with APW License Key (same key for all APW widgets).

■ For more widgets try Android Pro Widgets.

Download

* You can also search "apw" on the android market to find this application.
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Thanks for this!

I see from the Market page that if you pay you get access to APE widgets. I have already purchased APW, if I want to have the full version of APW Google Reader, do I have to purchase it? Or is there an alternative?

Thanks.

EDIT: Ignore the above... I take it that APW Google Reader is covered within the APW License key.

EDIT 2: Any chance in a future update to support feed images? Liking it very much so far!
[Android Apps and Games] roee88:
Yes, we are researching all possible enhancements that Google Reader allows.

So far we discovered that we can add an option to change the sort order to what google calls "magic". Also we can get the full html of every feed item so it would be possible to extract the image url from there, fetch it from web, cache it to SD, and finally display it in the widget. It will take time as we are full of work right now :)
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Excellent, I love APW. Keep up the great work!!

[Epic 4G General] Syst3m Deadlock:
Hey all. I've been looking to buy a new phone for a few weeks now, and have been leaning towards the Evo Shift. But my choice was the Epic months ago. So my question is; which would all of you prefer? Epic of Shift?

I've done much research, but I'd like to hear insight from some actual Epic users. I know the Epic offers Samsung's Super AMOLED display, and the shift doesn't. The Epic also has a bigger screen. But I believe the Shift has a faster processor? I've also heard that the sliding mechanism on the Epic can become loose fairly quickly with heavy use? Is this even true? I also know how the Epic doesn't have a fully functional Gingerbread build build yet. The Shift does, but there's only temp root at this time. I really do like Sense, but I've never tried Samsung's TouchWiz UI. Also, I know this is also a bigger phone, but is like, a brick? I definitely wouldn't want a phone to be pulling my pants down when it's in my pocket haha.

I'd really like to outweigh all the pros and cons before I go through with any purchase. Thanks! :cool:
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
Omg the epic wins on ALL fronts. CPU is faster, gpu is faster, keyboard is better, bigger screen, amoled over lcd (spliech!), its thinner, the cameras better, the speaker phone is louder and not tinny. The shift has absolutely nothing on the epic.
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
My roommates boyfriend has one sonics had plenty of time to play with one. Not blowing smoke just in case. Also I forgot to mention, the Evo shift doesn't have gorilla glass :(
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Epic has superior hardware in every way, but shift has aosp, sense 3.0, stable miui and stable cm7, whereas we don't. So Shift has more ROMs and dev support + they have stock gb too.

I could care less what people would say about me because of what phone I have. A phone is a phone, and everyone has different opinions. I don't need a brand new, top of the line phone to make me happy. I just want somethin that works, and gets the job done with what I need it for
