Can you elaborate on this issue?

Also, anyone else having similar issues, please chime in.

Are you seeing a circle with a slash through it (no service) when this happens?

Can you receive calls when this happens?

Do you lose 4G or WiFi? Or is it just Voice/3G?

Does it seem to happen sometime after making a call/text (~30min), or any other pattern you've noticed?

Are you rooted?

If yes, what kernel (zedomax or tanimn/shabbypenguin - trying to narrow down an issue with one of the current root kernels)?

Exchange Appt. Notification Bug

I have had multiple reminders pop up for from my Exchange calendar and i can't seem to dismiss or snooze them from the notification bar. The snooze and dismiss buttons are available but are non responsive. The only way I can get rid of the notification is with the "Clear" button which is for all notifications. Has anyone else noticed this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I know this may sound silly, and you may have already checked this, but check your language settings. I've read about some owners that were having problems with Swype discovered that their language was set to Spanish.

Also, on the LED notifications only being Red, I've been playing with an App called Light Flow. I've at least been able to change the notification colors to Blue using this App. Also, the App lets you use "White" as a color, which still shows a Red light, but blinks very fast if some of you prefer a faster blinking light.

I have had the roaming data issue as well. It does eventually work for me though, but on once occasion it took 10 minutes before data turned on after the roaming started. I will try calling Sprint as well.

Wifi signal is bad.. but speedtest says otherwise. I think the issue is with the amount of bars displayed and not the actual signal. I was standing 5 fee fromt he router and still didn't have full bars.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MadFlava:
Ive been having problems today with dropping data connection. Toggling 4G off and on seems to restore it even in no 4G areas. I guess it resets the radio or something?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nate420:
Try profile and prl update...

My data did cut in and out till i did the normal sprint updates
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaKlown:
Just got this phone friday. So far the only bugs I am experiencing are roaming in places my evo got coverage and the security draw pattern having a mind of its own making it very hard to unlock the screen. Also the wifi reception is noticeably weaker than my evo
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MadFlava:
Ive done that already and it didnt help. Thanks, tho.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comedy:
Luckily, no freezes or crashes here (knock on wood).

what i HAVE noticed is the rotate bug, for instance

when rotating the phone for texting or browsing, you have to kind of

bring it up to your chest @ about a 90 degree angle in order for it to rotate.

calibrated it all correctly & i still have to do that.

this is my first phone from the Epic/Galaxy company so im not sure if that was a problem in the original Epic 4g (non-touch) but it sure is kind of annoying :/

hopefully the dev's can tweak the gyro or SOMETHING.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] painkillaz:
Poor Wifi/3g Signal

Noticed lower bars on both wifi and 3g...when in same spot on my Evo 4g I had more...might be just how many bars its displaying and not the actual signal...but not for sure...actually went into roaming a few times when with my Evo 4g I never did (even with roaming was set to automatic...now I have it set to sprint only)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1Brite1:
Hello. Has anyone tried updating through Kies? I tried and it says that this version of software cannot be updated. I just got my phone today. I did have problems installing the drivers. After I let it install say one or two drivers, one would error out. Once I unplugged it a few times and then plugged it back it, all of the drivers installed.

I hope this doesn't mean that Samsung is not going to upgrade to ICS or else I am taking this back. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" and it won't allow updating with rooting. Thanks for any input and have a great day/night!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thebomber123:
I noticed this too.

you have to check the check boxes next to the calender item. This is deceptive because the boxes have checks in them. But they should be green and not grey.

hope that helps :)

Yesterday I stated porting the Sense 3.5 rosie to Synergy RLS1. This rosie is already sized for our screens and optimized to run on our systems so the outcome will be a better experience than our current "carousel" mod and it will have all of the new Sense 3.5 3D widgets.

​

I first replaced the stock rosie with the 3.5 rosie, and all Android saw was my ADW Launcher so I then fixed permissions with Root Explorer to no avail

I then replaced the APK signature with the carousel signature that's working... fail.

For some quite apparent reason, the system is not recognizing this as a launcher.

Once this first obstacle is overcome, we can work on polishing it to function correctly. But can someone help me to at least get Synergy to recognize this as a launcher? This thread will eventually be the home for this great mod. Thanks for any assistance that can be given

IMPORTANT!! DO NOT PUSH THE 3.5 ROSIE ATTACHED EXPECTING IT TO WORK RIGHT NOW!! THIS MOD IS CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS!! Thank You :)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Hey there. I'm not gonna say this can't be done, but your starting point is to figure out the classes and resources that are called from the frameworks. It was a major breakthrough to get the sense 2.1+3.0 going, and those guys are super awesome for it. (Find them on the DHD forums). Synergy and other sense 2.1+3.0 roms for the EVO are branched from them. In order to make it work, you need to rework com.htc.resources.apk. This isn't a light task, but it can be done.

As for simply making the system recognize the apk, that shouldn't be too terribly hard. But as soon as it you click on it there will be force closes. But next week some time I might be able to work on this. We'll have to see.

I wish I had more time to play with android more. I haven't done this stuff in a while.

Good luck to you!

Ok well I'm off to find out exactly what a class is! lol But I heard ADB Logcat is very useful in troubleshooting so I'm looking into learning how to use that too. I've read Seo's thread on the 2.1+3.0 venture from front to back and he has a diff file somewhere showing what was changed to make it work. So that's my first step. Thanks Tommy, really appreciate your insight!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
Thanks for starting this mPitcher. It's a great idea! Unfortunately WAY over my head, and i just really don't hve the time to try to study up and learn. So thank you, and all who undertake this awesome task. ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KingRedHot:
In all honesty, it's way over my head too, nor have I had the time to look into what Tommy directed me to. Right now, I'm actually working on theming the 3.0 3D mod to Synergy RLS1, and it may be the last update to Red Hot Synergy. I've been playing with this phone for the longest, and neglecting my Web Design studio.. and time is money so I need to buckle down and get back on it. Thanks for the ongoing support of all of my concoctions! lol

What do the permissions need to be using root explorer?
[Acer Iconia A500] crypted:
You will need root. It requires being able to read/write to the system's /etc/.
[Acer Iconia A500] pimpmaneaton:
Should be

Owner: Read and Write checked.

Group: Read checked

Others: Read checked

I started using this on my sensation and worked wonders. Orginally tried on Taboonay and didn't help at all. But since the new roms that are based on current OTA, I have applied this to "My Rom" and I am now able to get a gps lock by 5 sats in my room(wife dosen't really appreciate me messing with the tab while she is trying to sleep but I got myself an android sickness, no know cure yet.) But I am doing further testing at different locations but so far am getting much faster lock and more sats.
[Acer Iconia A500] DRTMI:
Thanks for the help guys. I went and moved the original file without even looking to see what the permissions were. It did seem to help but the clouds are really thick here tonight.
[Acer Iconia A500] crypted:
No worries. Give it a good test over the next day or so, and report back. If anyone wants to type up installation instructions, I'd like to put something in the instruction block above. Send me a private message with them. :o
[Acer Iconia A500] Mazda:
This works perfectly!! The only thing I found is that the scripts kept on giving me abort errors in recovery and once I pushed the file manually using RootExplorer, I had to download GPS status toolbox from the market to get a fix but it was quick...something like 6 seconds!! Using this fix and just opening up Google Maps won't give you a lock at first so I think you have to download GPS status.....anyone else do it this way or just me??
[Acer Iconia A500] josinpaul:
No such problems for me.locked in under 10 seconds in the first try. I used the following method.

Es file explorer from market.

Settings>check root permissions>check mount system.

Copy the original GPS.conf to some safe location. After that delete GPS.conf file from etc folder.

Unzip worldwide 1.3. Zip and copy GPS.conf from system folder and paste the same in the etc folder.

Done.

Ya recovery option doesn't work for me too.I am using thor recovery 1.42.
[Acer Iconia A500] crypted:
The CWR flash zip isn't designed for other recovery systems. But, I've heard it works on others. Either way, the gps.conf is all that matters at this point. So as long as you get it copied, you're golden. :D

Let me know performance results!

Edit: Why would someone rate this thread so poorly? I don't see any reason to do that unless I've entirely offered no help whatsoever. Sad. And people wonder why a lot of dev's had decided to quit...
[Acer Iconia A500] jjj666:
recvery method doesn't work, but extracting the gps.conf from the ZIP file and copying it to /etc/ seems fine, will see how good it is.

Thanks!

Also,

In preparing for the next iteration of the GPS patch, I'm trying to get a better grasp of the suplrootcert's on various devices. So far I have Verisign and TMobile. If anyone would be willing to check their phone and let me know if they have a different one (via private message here on xda)that would be great!

You can find "suplrootcert" as a file in /etc/ just like where the gps.conf is located.

To see which you have, open it up as a text document. It will look like jibberish. But, the top portion will say a company name within the jibberish. If you don't see Verisign or Tmobile, I would like to get ahold of the one on your device!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
Wow, before my GPS would find 2 satellites and never lock. First time with this file took 30 minutes to get lock with 5 satellites. Now I can get lock in about 20 seconds with 5 - 8 satellites.

[Acer Iconia A500] ZeroAlphawolf:
I put this on, but now i constantly have the "searching for GPS" notification in the bottom right corner or my device next to the time. Though from what i see, it has a MUCH better fix on me in the maps program. So it seems to be working..but irritating.

Edit: I did another reboot (Second or third one.) And now the GPS thing isn't hanging anymore, weird, but hey if it works im cool lol.
[Acer Iconia A500] crypted:
Okay great. If it does it again, please do a screen shot (there's a free APP for that in the market). I'd like to see what it's saying. What app were you using when it was saying "searching for GPS" as you talked about?

Maybe something was cached from your previous configuration and it took a few reboots for whatever script clears the cache to be initialized? Just a wild guess since I don't own a tablet (yet!).
[Acer Iconia A500] ZeroAlphawolf:
It seems i stand corrected yet again. It came back, when i went into the basic google maps application. It pulls up the searching for gps notification in the task bar and will remain their the plus side of 10 minutes.

Here is a screenshot of my screen, the bottem right corner i actually clicked on the tsk bar to who it better, the bottom notifcation is of course the GPS, which continues to show when it shouldnt.

Also, please forgive the messy black box, forgot to take my email widget off the screen before screenshot.
[Acer Iconia A500] crypted:
What ROM and kernel?
[Acer Iconia A500] ZeroAlphawolf:
Im on the new 3.2 that was posted a500 7.006.01, the one that preservers root, but modifies very little. As well as Thors 3.4 kernal, (the rest) version.

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

I removed your gps file, put mine back rebooted, and then deleted and put yours back, rebooting again, and it has opened both the basic maps application. And GPS Status (which i downloaded to test this a little more.) Without the hanging GPS notifcation, so im wondering if its an issue with configuration or just the system trying to hold on or get back into that old configuration. I dont know, not my forte.
[Acer Iconia A500] crypted:
Are you saying all is well now after those steps? It does sound like kernel issues. A user on another device had a similar issue. He swapped kernels and was okay.
[Acer Iconia A500] deboyz1014:
You might be in the same boat as me, tried different methods and different ROMs and the only one that work is Thor 14.2. Have you tried that ROM yet?
[Acer Iconia A500] richierich118:
Is this directed to me. If so I have not tried that rom. Is it a stock rom and could you link me to it.

All threads have had an overhaul that was way overdue.

High points:

Note discussion of what the patch does and what it replaces.

Note confirming ICS support from various users.

Note section has gotten long, but covers most questions I am repeatedly asked.

A total of 9 officially supported new devices.

Download section reminds people to backup their settings. You only need to backup /system/etc/gps.conf and /system/etc/suplrootcert if you have one. But, I never had to revert!

are always welcome.

EDIT: FYI: Method 1, the easiest of the methods for those unfamiliar with file managers or recovery, has been updated. Some people required that the script also mount the partition. I have added that line to all options available and updated the ZIP file. Thanks

for confirming that the new PUSH script works.
[Acer Iconia A500] jt41time:
I have issues.... I tried the patch script. no luck. So i manually copied the files over. I started with the 3.1 google. nothing. then 3.1 g-alt. nothing. Just tried the 2.1 google.... Still nada. I get gps from sats. but at the same speed as always.

i would like to get the patch to work. much eaiser to try diff files to get this to work. but it says failed to copy. read only file system. I now im rooted... why that?

I also have the gps folder under etc. i tryed to get rid of this, but then my gps wouldnt work at all.....

[Acer Iconia A500] crypted:
If you are using a file explorer app to copy files, you need to mount and enable write access in the applications "settings" or "options" for the /system/ partition. This will allow you to copy the files over. I think that is what you are trying to say you are having issues with.

If not, I am not understanding.
[Acer Iconia A500] jt41time:
i can copy paste delete all day long. Its the a push script from pc I have issues with. And I tried the "old" 1.3 conf and its not better. Might even be worse.

I first start up the status app in side. In the same spot as always. Reset the GPS cache. Then download. I wait to see if anything. Then I walk outside and stand in the same spot. No clouds . And wifi -n. Acer case. If I wait long enough, even in my house, I get a lock on about 7_8 sats.
[Acer Iconia A500] crypted:
I really don't understand the problem here. You can get a lock on 7 to 8 sats with the patch or without the patch? What about accuracy?
[Acer Iconia A500] jt41time:
i always got that much. it just takes like 20 mins to get it.
[Acer Iconia A500] crypted:
Ok do this: delete /system/etc/suplrootcert and try again.

If that doesn't work, open up gps.conf and delete these two lines:

SUPL_TLS_HOST=FQDN

SUPL_TLS_CERT=/etc/SuplRootCert
[Acer Iconia A500] jt41time:
Tried that. Didn't help. Thank you. Went back to Google standard. Went for drive. Went to a empty parking lot. Put it on the dash. Reset the GPS. Timed it. 4.5 mins to get 5\5. 6 mins to get 6/6. I'm wondering if the GPS folder in the etc is messing this up. When I deleted it, my GPS wouldn't start. So I put it back. Nothing I'm doing is helping. Getting frustrated.sorry to put a damper on this app. Seems to be working great for everyone else. Does the fact that I'm at 3.2.1 make this not work right
[Acer Iconia A500] crypted:
Have you tried a ROM that others are saying worked for them? It does not matter which Android build you're using.

This device does have hardware issues as well. This patch cannot overcome those kinds of issues unfortunately... I sure hope it isn't hardware though...

is there people out there that this patch worked on there a500?3.2.1 stock

I don't wanna change roms. I'm good with stock.
[Acer Iconia A500] crypted:
The point would be proven by backing up and trying another temporarily to see if your gps will work at all.
[Acer Iconia A500] jt41time:
tempting. But a pain in butt. Not worth it. I'd rather screw around with the configs a little bit more. Any ideas on his to get the push patch from PC to work? "Failed patch, files are read only." Or something like that....
[Acer Iconia A500] CuriousTech:
I was playing around with my A500 earlier and added the line ro.dinfo.radio=Wifi to build.prop since it was 3G by default. Later I did a little research (here on xda) and found it can affect the GPS, so I ran GPS Status and it appeared to be showing stronger signals.

I don't know for sure but give it a try.
[Acer Iconia A500] jt41time:
where exactly do I put this line?
[Acer Iconia A500] crypted:
Requires drivers for the device to be installed, plugged in, and set it to "drive" and not "charge only" or something.

Yeah, there are times when build.prop settings are an issue.

That should be in /system/etc/ if memory serves.
