[Samsung Infuse 4G] furiousrcj:
I have owned both and.....

My wife and I just switched over from t-mobile, she got the infuse and I waited a day and got the SGS2 because I, like a lot of you had read about just how amazing the sgs2 was. I was super excited. Since my wife got hers a day earlier, I had a day to spend with the infuse just so I could make sure I was chosing the right phone. The 4.5 inch screen was glorious. The web was fast and coming from a samsung vibrant, thank God the gps worked! Movies and text looked great, and I thought this was going to be tough to beat!

The next day day I got my sgs2. You wouldn't think that that .2 inches would make a difference, but there's a reason why all the other carriers went with the 4.5 inch screen. As far as battery life, I'm a heavy user, and even though they said the dual core would use less battery they lied. All that aside, I noticed that the infuse seemed snappier and the 4g speeds were better, but the true reason I took this phone back and got an infuse, the reason that I ate the $35 restocking fee so they could put my week-old very gently used phone back in the box was because no one could understand me when I talked on the sgs2. I'm not sure if it was the case conflicting with the noise canceling mic in the sgs2, but the spotty coverage, less than stellar web speeds, our the fact that I had to turn off the noise canceling every time I made a call, but it felt like I was talking on an unfinished product, like the vibrant all over again.

So I went with the infuse, saved $100, got more included accessories, have not looked back, and have not been happier.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bronk93:
But man the development for the sgs II is just amazing, so many cool roms to flash.

Can you please ban this retard out of his misery?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
That was a tad necessary, don't you think?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
Wait, he's a retard and you can't even update your phone?

Hmm....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] furiousrcj:
Good looking out Kevinr678. I don't often speak out because of some of the clowns on here, but I just wanted to share my own personal experience with these two phones. If it helps somebody make a better decision, then good. That's what this is all about.

Ignore the haters.

So after years of being an xda user and lover, I must say...the banning of all MIUI roms on this forum is completely ridiculous to me. Not to mention, done in bad taste. I am very curious as to why this happened. Can anyone please enlighten me as to why one of the best, most desired roms is not supported here? I can find nothing in rules about this at all. Thank you and I look forward to your answers.

Because there is no CM7 support yet...
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
They aren't banning miui. The user at modaco who did the sensation rom is banned from xda. So his work is not allowed on xda.

It doesn't mean miui is banned...
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
wait, why was the dev banned?
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
we're not supposed to discuss bans/infraction publicly in the community. And to answer your question, i have no idea, and it should just be left between the dev and the mods (and those who know).
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
There is an MIUI ROM, it's on MoDaCo, we're not allowed to post his work here due to him being banned. Go look at MoDaCo for it. MIUI is not banned on xda.

Short and simple answer :)

I know you shouldn't feed the trolls, but I just had to post and call this guy an idiot.
[HTC Sensation] jreed3786:
After clearly stating my question, yes, accidentally in the wrong forum, I must say that you are not helping in xda if all you do is call people idiots, when the response doesn't fit the question. After doing searches as to why this rom would be banned in here, I politely asked a question. And usually by asking a question...you are looking for an answer...not some smart ass cocky response like you know it all. Next time you hear a question that you know the answer to, why not kindly answer...or shut your mouth and move on. You're a big guy by thinking you pwn'd someone online by throwing digital insults at them. Grow up, guys. Xda is supposed to be a place of help...and people like you make it a terrible forum for asking questions. So get off your high horses and offer help, not B.S.
[HTC Sensation] jreed3786:
Btw, thank you to all of the guys that actually answered my question.

Way to jump the gun...and as said, MIUI is not banned from xda.

Has anybody else had an issue with the camera view having multi colored lines and the it freezes. Sometimes if I do it fast enough I can take the picture and it looks great. I am all stock btw and it has been doing this straight out of the box.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Clear data on camera app and let me know if it continues
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] whoxp:
yeah, it still continues after i clear data. tried a factory reset and it still continues. just rooted and im gonna install another rom to see it my factory camera app was somehow corrupted. i dont think its a hardware issue, but i guess we will find out.

Edit: Still does it. If i force stop the camera app after it freezes and try to reopen it, it will just pop up with the camera symbol then instantly close.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Odd...Idk dude
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Try a different camera app perhaps?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
Sounds like a software issue i would root and try a different camera app like knipp suggested you could also try adb pushing a new camera app if you dont want to root but keep a backup of your original if you go that route. Or try one from the market im not positive but I think they may rely on the stock app
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
If it's still doing it with another ROM it's a hardware issue and you need to return while under warrentee still.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] whoxp:
The ones from the market dont work, i do think that they rely on the stock camera. besides the ones from the market, i dont know what to try.

Edit: I did try 2 different roms, one with stock kernel and one with custom kernel and it still does it. Guess im gonna have to unroot and bring it back to Verizon. Would they give me a new one right there or do you think i would have to wait for them to mail me another one, i bought it brand new and have only had it since friday. Been doing this right out of the box.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
They will most likely mail you a new one with a box to mail the Old one back in
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sixteen2nd:
Fixed your post ;-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
Yes you are correct

It will be a refurb im sure.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] whoxp:
I am very pleased with my local Verizon store today. I went in and told them the problem and without any hassle they opened up their cabinet and handed me a brand new box. Camera works great on this one and I am a happy camper.

Edit: they also gave me a $50 mail in rebate on top of the discounts that I already got online.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
Did you unroot the old phone first?

[Android Themes] BrokenTusk9971:
I did a search for this and did not come up with much.

I am fairly new here and until now have only been reading and trying to learn.

So out of all the fantastic themes and mods I have seen here I have seen very little done for the Predator or Geiger's Alien. I was wondering if anyone had any examples that they wouldn't mind sharing. I have been curious about development and thought that some experience in skinning or theming might he a fun place to play for a bit.

I have rooted my htc inspire 4g with attn1's ace hack kit v12.3, I have placed a few rom zips on the sd card from my computer then I enter hboot, recovery, but when i try to install a rom from sd card i cant find the roms. Any help?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Are you selecting install zip from sd card? If the ROMS are on the root of the sd card they should be there in plain site.
[HTC Inspire 4G] iPittsburgh:
Yes I'm selecting install from sd card but I dont see the roms anywhere.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Maybe a bad microsd card? Have you tried others?
[HTC Inspire 4G] iPittsburgh:
I havent tried another sd card, but a friend said maybe soft-brick? I tried "flash cloclworkmod recovery" and it said "error while downloading from server. please make sure you have a stable internet connection, and that your sd card is inserted and has free space" wifi is connected and browser does not work either. I also flashed to stock att radio when using attn1's ace hack kit v12.3
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Sounds like a bad sdcard. Try reformatting it. Get what data you can off it, if any.

That or try putting a rooted stock ROM on your SDCARD. See if the bootloader can see it. If it does... Let it load and you'll have a fully stock rooted rom with the latest updates. There's a couple threads floating around here with the download. Be sure it's named PD98IMG.zip or the bootloader won't find it. Then get Rom Manager from the market and see if it will flash CWM Recovery.

It could be something didn't quite go right while rooting.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
I found one if you still need it.

[HTC Inspire 4G] iPittsburgh:
I fixed it, thanks to attn1 and anthony1s, I overlooked when I put the zip files on my sd card, I put .lnk files instead the actual .zip file. So I deleted the shortcuts and used the .zip files and am now good to go. This thread can be closed, my problem is resolved.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ortigosano:
Hello,

with several roms every week, suddenly appears this image.

After showing and select "force close" comes again and again and again. Then I reboot the device and the same problem. I have to reinstall again the rom or install a new one, but as i mention before, it happens every week.

I am going to appreciate if someone told me why happens.

Thanks a lot in advance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
1. are you using cm7 or any cm7 based roms? if you are, do not use the 2g/3g toggle in the cm power widget. that is a known issue.

2. have you ran a fix permissions? this is needed every once in a while especially if you are flashing different roms. theres a few ways to do this. you can run fix permissions in whatever recovery you are using on your nexus s, except stock recovery. or you can do it via terminal emulator on you phone. open the terminal emulator, type su(press enter) fix_permissions(press enter)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
Fix permissions and clear cache!!!!!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ortigosano:
First of all, thanks for your answer.

1)I am using cm7.

2)Till now i never used this option called "fix permissions"

I disabled the 2g/3g toggle and I fixed permissions, i hope now works better...if the problem comes i will let here know.

Thanks a lot!

[G2 and Desire Z General] beangraff:
I have been meaning to make a post on this. I am currently running CM nightly 8/29 with Tmobile's latest radio. I have no issues getting an immidiate lock but about 10 to 15 min into my drive I will suddenly lose the GPS signal with a clear sky and no obstructions. I never had this problem with the original rom and was hoping someone on here had a fix for this or reason. This has one of the major problems I have had with CM7 so far everything else is minor.
[G2 and Desire Z General] burtcom:
I think you mean passing data FROM satellites :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] kusuriurikun:
I did, and I'll correct this. :D (This is what happens when one is typing when semiconscious. :D)
[G2 and Desire Z General] burtcom:
Excellent bit of detective-work :) I hope its not too long till the various ROMs can fix this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kusuriurikun:
OK, so my original complaint on this (http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4282) has now been merged into the "mothership" thread (http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3346)--even the creator of GPS Status and Toolbox has apparently reported this.

There is a related issue 15500 (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15500) that indicates this is a general AOSP bug; issue 7321 is similar (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7321)

(Of note, this has been a very longstanding issue--since the very first release candidates of CM7, and probably affecting ANY Gingerbread build that isn't using drivers from an OEM manufacturer like HTC. HTC has OBVIOUSLY done their own tweaks, but isn't sharing (isn't that technically a GPL violation?)...so a fix is known, just not being shared :P)

I strongly encourage people to "star" the issue at 3346 AND at 15500 and 7321 to get this moved up in priority so that the folks behind CyanogenMod and the main Google AOSP code know this is an issue.

(And yes, that even goes for you MIUI users--the issue affects you as well, and the fix could be incorporated into MIUI builds.)

I just hope the info dump I gave 'em helps narrow down the issue...

Thanks for explaining that, it was very informative. Ive been running Virtuous G-Lite v2.3.3 ROM, and have been more or less satisfied. About 25-120m off in buildings but great when on the road.(also the fact the country of residence only has edge, i'm sure that's a factor)

Just starred issues as well.

-cheers
[G2 and Desire Z General] killswitch11:
Well this makes perfect sense. I love CM7's features and stock look/feel with extra goodies, but GPS is garbage therefore I can't run CM7. I've noticed zero GPS issues running both G-Lite and ROMS based off the official OTA Gingerbread update. I recently switched to MIUI Bulletproof and REALLY like it... but just yesterday discovered GPS has the exact same problems as I does with CM7-based ROMS. It's just getting really really frustrating that all I can run on my G2 is no-frills stock ROMS if I want GPS to function at all. Seems like the only advantage I have over unrooted users is the ability to get rid of bloatware and a little overclocking on G-Lite ROMS. Its something, I know, but I wish a fix would surface so we can all enjoy the ultra-fast flashy ROMS and still have fully functioning phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] silverton:
My stats are in my signature and I have never had issues with GPS. I get an immediate lock and have taken 100 mile trips with no loss of GPS signal. I'm currently locked on with a 10 meter error, but I am stationary, it gets more accurate once I start moving.

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

Though, I will add that I did have GPS issues with my old G2. It did have CM on it at some point. I got an Asurion replacement and loaded MIUI on to it right out of the gate, no GPS issues.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killswitch11:
Well I believe you. Some people are just lucky like that. I've tried all the known fixes from wiping the efs to clearing caches to uninstalling/reinstalling Google maps, etc. These fixes work great for some G2 owners while some others yet never even have any GPS problems with any ROM. And some G2 users could care less about GPS. I can get a lock with not much problems. My issue with any CM7 or MIUI based ROM is the GPS will lose signal during the trip. This does not happen at all with stock based ROMs. Funny how ambiguous these problems can be.... :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] silverton:
Try my set up?

Download MIUI.us 1.9.16, Umaro 1.06, rmk's RIL matcher, and flash radio 10.04.03. When you go to update the ROM, reboot in to recovery. Go to the mounts and storage menu. format cache/data/system/dalvik cache. Flash the MIUI ROM, then Umaro kernel. go back to the mounts and storage menu, and mount /system, and then flash the RIL matcher zip.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kusuriurikun:
That may be interesting to try, actually--if I'm reading the thread right, it's a corrected version of the libraries that are closer to HTC stock but which may be compatible with AOSP.

I will likely experiment with this and report back....

EDIT: Tried, nope, still not sending NMEA data. :P Still sends blank NMEA messages, which indicates the issue is deeper than libgps.so. (It does help to narrow down what may be going unwell, though--I'm now suspecting a bug in where AOSP ROMs may be getting info from the driver itself.)
[G2 and Desire Z General] kusuriurikun:
OK, bumping my post again:

I've had secondhand confirmation on the Cyanogenmod forums that the bug lies in gps.vision.so (which is the specific hardware driver library for the HTC Vision); reportedly a user has replaced this (by hand) with the stock gps.vision.so from the T-Mobile G2 Gingerbread update and gotten fully functional GPS.

I will be experimenting with this, and if this does work, we're far closer to knowing what needs fixed :D

EDIT: CONFIRMED THAT THE STOCK gps.vision.so DOES FIX THIS. I WILL BE AMENDING FIRST POST TO INSTRUCT ON HOW TO FIX THIS
[G2 and Desire Z General] burtcom:
OK -- just tried the fix, My regular GPS progs are working fine. Will find something to see what the actual strings I'm getting look like.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kusuriurikun:
The two apps I've been primarily using to test NMEA functionality are Turbo GPS and "u-center", both of which are free apps on the Android Market (just do searches for each); u-center's NMEA stuff is the easiest to find (just swipe AFTER the Google Maps window showing the fix--five swipes left from the opening window gets you there) whilst Turbo GPS's is in a submenu (open Turbo GPS, press "Menu", select "Views", select "NMEA Strings"--if it works right, it'll show a mess of stuff starting with "$GP").
[G2 and Desire Z General] ptesmoke:
ive never had an issue with gps but this thread convinced me to double check. i downloaded turbo gps, i get a lock within 5 seconds, error of 3m within my house, and the nmea strings show a bunch of envelopes..is that right?

seems to look ok to me i guess, running cm7 nightly 204, latest bell radio with htc 098HM rils. is this an issue pertaining to G2's and not DZ's??

cheers for the great effort!

edit: forgot to add im on a DZ
[G2 and Desire Z General] kusuriurikun:
With Turbo GPS, is it JUST envelopes (without any GPS messages) or are there strings starting with $GP(blahblah) after the envelopes?

Stuff with the bug (and it doesn't affect EVERY program using GPS, just some) just shows the envelopes and nothing else (which is the general behaviour I've seen in CM7 and MIUI); WITHOUT the bug (with stock drivers) it will show text strings right after those envelopes.
[G2 and Desire Z General] burtcom:
U-center is showing me a bunch of $GP messages, so I'm golden :)

(unlocked Euro DZ with the latest CM7 nightly)
[G2 and Desire Z General] killswitch11:
OK, so I'm running Bulletproof as in my sig, except I rolled back to 1.8.26 (initial release) I was running the latest build but ran into severe GPS issues. With this initial release, still getting some GPS errors (loss of signal during navigation) but doesn't happen all the time.

I'm willing to try this out but have a few questions. I got Root Explorer and found my way to /system/lib/hw and I can see "gps.vision.so". It is mentioned a backup should be made. How do I do this? Is it just longpressing it and hitting copy? Sorry.. kinda noob-ish with some of this more advanced stuff. I downloaded the file on page 1, so I take it I install that on the root of my SD, then move the entire zip to replace gps.vision.so? Or am I going into the zip and moving a specific file? Just want to go into this eyes open rather than screw something up. These GPS issues have been driving me batsh*t. O___O
[G2 and Desire Z General] ccooluke:
I'm having trouble with root explorer. everytime I move the gps file, wipe efs data, cache etc... then reboot, my gps totally dies. it's "enabled" but not even registering that it's working. Any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z General] TobiS87:
I am currently running MIUI and have the GPS Issues you mentioned in the OP. EFS wiping never helped in any verision. I knew about replacing the gps.vision.so before and tried to replace your linked file but when I rebooted after the replace GPS completely stopped working. GPS is turned on but all GPS related apps tell me to turn on GPS. No Icon in the status bar.. its just not working. I am using the stock .26 radio.. so it seems that that fix is just working for the .30 radio. Since i bricked my phone once while flashing a new radio I am a bit afraid of doing so again. Seems like I have to wait for another fix or just have to live with it... :(
