I'm really enjoying GV right now. I have an issue w/ reception here at my house since apparently incredible 2 phones are so horrible at reception, i've decided to get a custom number and I'm always on wifi here at my house, so that might fix the issue I'm having here.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
After setting it up, go into the settings and you can get rid of the gv texting stuff..I love gv for the voicemail.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] digitalsynner85:
does your GV app take like 20-30 secs to load sometime knipp?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
What you mean? Like just opening the app? No. But because its ran on data. My messages come in slow fuse my service sucks here
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] digitalsynner85:
Weird, it takes my app like a good 20 secs sometimes to load up, but my messages almost come in instantaneously. I did a force close and cache wipe and it seemed to help a little, but I'm not wanting to have to do that every time, yet on the other hand, my voicemails show up a while later and take even longer to transcribe.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
You can set it up in the webpage to send the voicemails to your email.

Try uninstalling the app and reinstalling it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] digitalsynner85:
I'll try sending my VMs to email. Hopefully that will speed it up some, but like I stated earlier, I get so few calls because everyone I talk to texts, that when I do get a VM, it's usually 1 a month or so, so I'm not too anxious for it, but I would like to have it working 100% lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Knipp, I want to send text via gv. Since I don't have unlimited texting, there are certain people I text with gv. So, it was forwarding my texts to my phone if I didn't read them after a few seconds.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
In gv settings. Disable the forward to phone option.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Oh ok.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MJL99:
I have the same issue with gv loading slow. it has to do with the new updates theyve added to the app. I cant run the new app because it takes way too long to load the thing since its my primary txting app. I had to go back to a previous build for it to open fast and not have any bugs. running version 0.3.4
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] digitalsynner85:
FC'ing the app, deleting the cache, then uninstalling it and reinstalling it fixed the lag issue like knipp said it would. I haven't had an issue with it since. If you have google chrome, there is a google voice extension that you can use and it will show you all the texts you receive and you can send texts too from GC.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Worked like a charm. Lol

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] digitalsynner85:
Hey knipp, did you have to forward any ports for GV? I don't know if it's my phone or hers, but whenever I call this one person I know, after like a minute the phone disconnects. Each and every time.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Odd, not that I know of, but I don't use mine for voice. Sorry bro
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] digitalsynner85:
I found an app that lets me talk on google voice over wifi and 3g/4g. It's called Groove IP. Very nifty little app if I do say so myself, and I pulled the battery backing off my phone and made it lose all signal and tested it and it worked. Yay for devs who are awesome lol. Use that in conjunction with a *72 forwarding option, and you never have to worry about shoddy calls in wifi areas

as changing phone's MAC address? change or modify that file? Thank you.
[XPERIA X8 General] chewdaniel:
every piece of network chip has it's own unique MAC address so there are really only 2 ways to change it. either spoof it, which is highly unethical and has questionable legality, or get a new phone
[XPERIA X8 General] angel08:
the problem is to use the v8 gingerxpiria rom and I get a MAC different from the original phone.

With other ROM I have no problem, give me my MAC ORIGINAL.
[Xoom General] bible.study.software:
All

I am not a techie.

I tried backing up my xoom as described in the info package.

However, the properties folder in Windows claims 3510 files, 504 MB in size, whilst available storage on the xoom claims 188 MB.

(I have been seeing the "low storage space" notice for several months.)

This was via USB. Open windows file manager, >xoom >internal storage >select all >edit >copy to folder: c:\backup\xoom.

The transfer to my laptop (Linux), via bluetooth, 31087 files, 32.8GB was only books. I seriously question that I have that many books on my xoom, especially since I also did a 214794 files,20.6GB non-book transfer via bluetooth.

How can I be confident that between the three backups, all of the data on the xoom is backed up?

And why does the windows backup show 31GB less data than the Bluetooth/Linux backup?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggtsu:
I've been having an issue with my tbolt's signal and 4g indicators turning gray, causing a severe loss or even complete loss of internet connectivity. I tether a lot through Wireless Tether, and at first I was a little paranoid that I was being blocked or throttled. However, I don't really think this is the case. Could this be some kind of issue with the phone. I'm running CM7 1.6.1. Everything thing else runs great and when my 4g works, I can get speeds of over 20mpbs.

[EVO Shift 4G General] HTCotta:
In what context are you hoping to get 2.3.7? Do you run other AOSP ROMS? Cuz MIUI is the only one not based heavily on CM7 if I'm not mistaken. Even then, it has cyanogen DNA.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcyeung:
Hi all,

Have been using the Desire for nearly 2 years, great phone. I use the phone's Camera (Baby Photos & Videos recording) more then anything else. Enjoyed using the 720p recording when I was on Android 2.2 until the Stock 2.3 upgrade few months back. Then I found the video recording went funny, lagging, video/audio out of sync, couldn't handle 720p anymore etc.

Got very annoyed for too long so decided to root it at the weekend and try other ROMs. Tried a few and settled on the Aurora V03 which has a great camera app (w/Sense 3.0). Thought the out of sync issue went away but unfortunately it's still there. Even when I lowered the quality to 800x480, the problem still exist.

Tried the SD Card Increase from the market and tweaked it to 2048kb, same.

Thought it's software/rom related as I could record 720p no issue when I was still on 2.2

I am using Kingston Class 4 8GB card since day one. Do you know any tweak that can help me please?

Any idea is much appreciated! Don't really want to upgrade my phone just because of this.

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravens97:
By what ive read on the forums on here this is a common problem for 2.3 on the desire. Im unsure on how exactly to solve it though. Have you tried changing the file format it records in? That helped for me
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcyeung:
Yes I have tried both 3gpp and mp4 and they are the same. Strange that I didn't see much discussion about this. Thinking to downgrade back to 2.2..... Although don't quite wanted to.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sexywacko:
Have you tried a faster sd card? I had similar problems when I used the class 4 that came with the phone. Now I have a class 10 playback is fine, even with full length movies and tv shows.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
he is not talking about playback ,but about 720p recording...

unfortunately, there is no solution yet for that issue,no matter what ROM u try it'll still be there. 800x480 should be ok, if u're having problems, format and align ur fat32 and make sure that it's not an issue of the ROM u're using. as for 720p, as i mentioned earlier, no joy ;)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
lol the nexus line gets updated either when it needs bug fixes or when google changes the OS, so by your definition you need a phone that needs to be fixed constantly but this phone that works you think is a bad choice.......
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kurupt1:
the absolute right choice in my opinion. I love this phone, best phone i have ever owned.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elite11b:
I've had this phone for two weeks and I love it. Couldn't have made a better choice. And there are new roms to flash every couple of days you just have to look.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackHawkA4:
Exactly! Would you rather wait to get an OS upgrade to a OS version that's already a year old; or, be on the latest with no updates coming?

You want new and exciting things on your phone. Root and start flashing some custom things. That'll keep you occupied. There are always new things coming out in the CM7 nightlies.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killasmoke:

I came from a Evo 4G, thought it would be a slight downgrade, I was wrong, I love My Nexus.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borrowedchief:
Ditto. And to take it a step further, I did creep into these forums before I upgraded. I noticed it seemed a little slower, but took the leap.

I rooted the first day I got the phone, unrooted the next. I simply don't see the need now to root. I get updated asap, my battery lasts about 16 hours on average, and I have a **** ton of space on the phone.

On the EVO, I as always flashing an AOSP rom cause I wanted more free space, then going back to Sense, because I missed the UI. Now I feel like I can just have a phone for the time being, and not worry about flashing new roms for the next best thing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamouskim:
Not a bad phone but the radio seems a bit week.

Maybe it's just in the Chicagoland area but reception sucks.

Sometimes I'm on 1x.

I barely get to use 4g.

Still have my upgrade available.

Might try something new just to see if it's the phone.

Anyone interested in purchasing my Nexus S 4g?

I'm so sayin the same thing. I too came from the EVO and as I must say I don't even WANT to root my Nexus.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] deniso177:
Thank you for this helpful post.

I have tested this extensively for a bit using gps status, and have come up with the following conclusion.

Personally, i live in Sydney, Australia, my optimus one is rooted with cyanogen mod by mik_os and fserves gbs kernel v18b.

For me this patch performed poorly compared to me using the market app Fasterfix, with which u select the region you are in and in sets your gps.conf accordingly( in my case i just deleted this patch after testing, and faster fix wrote a new gps.conf once i selected my region)

I experienced a MUCH better fix time using Fasterfix, then this patch. Where it took 10 secs to lock on using fasterfixs conf file, this patch took minutes. i got more satellites fixes with Faster fix as well, 11 satelites to the 9 i got with this patch.

And yes i let it sit for at least 10 minutes each time to "learn", but after every restart it still took a few minutes to the 10 seconds average from Fasterfix.

This is results for Australia, so this patch may still be more effective in other countries especially North America, where it originally came from.

Hope this review helps other members.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] crypted:
All Fasterfix would do differently is set it to AU specific timeservers. So, maybe you had some bad luck with a NTP timeserver while testing. I can't solve that (yet).

Beta testers have had great success with this, even the guys using this device. Originally, this device was not on my goal to support list. But, after multiple people reported great things, I added it.

So in conclusion, thank you for the commentary. Just keep in mind the "difference" isn't really one. ;)

EDIT: I've heard numerous reports that the ROM you're using has been screwed up with aGPS support being hard-coded as disabled in compilations lately. That may have some bearing on your results, too. I'm not a user of that ROM nor do I have the phone, so I can't personally attest. But, someone sent me the code snippets that clearly show aGPS disabled.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] deniso177:
I dont think it is disabled, as then it would never take 10 seconds to get a lock on, which it does for me currently.

But yes the patch does give me a server connection eventually, but it takes dramatically longer.

I guess your first line is right, use this if you are experiencing issues, other wise no need to fix something that isn't broken.

Also note, after originally installing this Rom, and getting onto fasterfix, it stated that my location was Europe or something, cant remember exactly, but point is it recognised the location, so that would be the problem for most users using my mod, and all they have to do is set it to their own location, which in my case was immediate success and gps fix is great
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] crypted:
I can't please everyone...

And I'm not following your commentary. There is literally no way this patch would cause your location to go from one end of the earth to the other via GPS. All it does is switch on some variables that your hardware is capable of for processing your location quicker. And, it adds some assistance data to be downloaded which is used in conjunction with UTC time. The NTP timeservers rarely matter because the binary file for that data is based on a 24 hour clock and updates every hour to be 23.5 to 24 hours in advance to allow up to that much time without a data connection for quick GPS satellite data parsing.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] deniso177:
Sorry what i was meant to say is that, i dont think agps is disabled in my rom, as then i would never get 10 seconds lock on as i currently do. But yes i guess i dont understand how this patch exactly works, as there isnt that much information what hardware properties it takes advantage over the default settings.

I was just trying to display my Particular results, for my particular rom in Australia, so i cant say that this patch would not be better on other scenarios or not.

Will be good to see more testers on here say there results from all over the world using a bunch of roms, including the stocks.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sweetnsour:
regarding the 2.x trunk, how do i know which one best suits my phone?

none of the builds say anything about location, although i am assuming that these builds were made for those in the u.s. as these are u.s. phone carriers.

obviously i should be considering the tmobile build but what makes this build different than the google build and the gps.conf?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] deniso177:
The gps.conf download is what it says, it only has that file, the other downloads, have an extra file called SuplRootCert, which i am not sure what it does
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] crypted:
Technically, all should work unless a provider is limiting SUPL use to LAN data and not roaming phones. That wouldn't make sense since they advertise world traveler plans.

I prefer the generic Google build myself even though I use AT&T as it's always been reliable.

SUPLROOTCERT is a verified certificate (think of it like https SSL websites). There is one for AT&T and its server, one for T-Mobile and its server, and one for Google and its server. Theoretically, their SUPL servers may deny your phone access for server assisted locating if your cert isn't matching the specifics for their server.

I collected what people were willing to send me and made versions based on that.

Is it only for north america ? Can i flash it in italy ?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] crypted:
It is designed to flash using CWR. It will not flash with a number of other Recovery systems out there. That's why there is another method described. You have two other options: copying directly using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer -OR- adb push.

This is worldwide. So should work fine. Lots of Europeans using it.

Nah. But, I just suggest using that tool to prove this does work. Typically, I only use Google Maps and I like to watch how I don't have a big blue circle around me anymore. :D
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] digitalface:
I also get this error (CWM), and so when I copy the files using File Explorer (rooted) the gpsconf copies fine but it fails when trying to copy SuplRootCert

strange?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] crypted:
If this is with ES File Explorer, goto settings and enable root and mount system. You can delete the file with Terminal root and then copy a new one over, too.

I'll try to get a new method posted using a script for adb pushing. A beta-tester is assisting in such a method. It'll be a few days, though.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] digitalface:
Yeah that worked, shall test GPS shortly.

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] crypted:
Is your device rooted? Which ZIP are you trying to flash with CWR? Only one for sure works as noted in the download section.

There are two other methods that do work with flashing.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] crypted:
First, I want to with everyone a very happy holiday season. I will be sporadic with my responses to any questions or comments here on the aGPS Patch threads for the next three to four weeks.

Things to think about if you're having an issue:

Read all of the Notes Section commentary. I wrote that because so many people continually have the same or similar issue that can be easily resolved.

Remember that any GPS tools from Android Market CAN and usually DO overwrite this patch. Therefore, don't use any. The only thing I recommend if you're wanting to get stats is GPS Status, as referenced hundreds of times by yours truly.

If your getting a weak signal: remove the phone from a case and try again. Try a different ROM as CM users and ROMs derived from CM tend to show problems because of faulty ROM compilation, not this patch. Ensure your build.prop has the right variables. Go outside, try again. Lastly, delete the SUPL server section from the bottom of the gps.conf and try without that. Some models with some ROMs have issues with SUPL...outside of my control.

Post and wait for someone to respond. I'll do my best to get on the forum off and on over the holidays.

So, let me give you a general update directed to those 3.x trunk users:

My server has automatically generated an xtra.bin file for your GPS excitement 3,980 times since September 26th when the first beta went online to test it out. :eek:

My server attempts to build a new version every 30 minutes. Depending on what it can decypher from other xtra.bin sources, it provides a totally fresh xtra.bin approximately every 1.2 hours.

My server has served up over 500,000 xtra.bin files to users like you on XDA since v3.1 was released.

My server continues to provide a reliable NTP pool to v3.x users by directing your phones to a handful of RELIABLE and FAST-RESPONDING NTP servers around the world. This ensures you can travel and not have to switch NTP pools.

If you're a DEV and this is used in your ROM, please notify me via private message with a link to your ROM thread. This helps me track issues and keep you up-to-date with any new versions. We both win there!

Finally, if you use v3.x you should remember this isn't free to me. As all of the information above notes "My server...", I foot the bill to keep supplying this data. It's useful as hell to you and to me. :D

Consider donating a little to help offset server costs

AND

to help expand provisioning should enough donations come in. You can donate via Paypal by clicking the donate button next to my username on this or any of my posts. Every little bit helps. If you can't, I understand that as well. :o

Again, thanks everyone. Don't forget to click the Thanks button on my posts should you enjoy what I've got to say...like those amazing numbers cited above for 3.x users.
