Sorry but sprint is bad in my area for some reason. I have 4 out of 6 bars and im getting .17mbps on a good day. Makes me so bad. And we dont have 4g at all in phoenix officially.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
You don't have to apologize to me I get the same 3g speeds with all 4 of my different phones. I luckily have access to either Wifi or Wimax almost everywhere I go locally. But, honestly this has nothing to do with OP. Out of respect of the OP one of our fellow forum member I think the thread should stay on topic. I ain't mad though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AvatarOfFrost:
then maybe you should just switch carriers and stop whining like a little *****
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Yes, there is. But those other ways have been explored and discussed to death and this debate still continues on a daily basis.

I think it simple:

Unhappy with your carrier?

Don't sign another contract for a new phone

, switch.

Now, back to the Event/Galaxy Nexus...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
+1. The rumor is that Verizon will have it for a month or two(that's why they passed on getting a GSII variant) but I think sprint will be the last to get it considering they were the last to get the Nexus S. Google will prob worry about rolling it out to all the carriers as is first then worry about adding a wimax radio for sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
I'm going to go with newalker on this one. Not like I go into debate threads all the time and pick some.one to side with. I usually find my own opinion which is slightly differenr than every one elses but... ya us good geeks arnt mad and angery at to the point we yell often and hate on sprint. Sprints run by people. People make mistakes and sprint make a rather big one with wimax but I'm not pissed at all. I'm glad they figured it out sooner than later and are going to try to push out lte really really fast. We all have to apreciate what we have. 2 years ago we were so very far away from where we are today. 2 more years from now the whole dang sprint vision will be done. That's sooo fricken fast! I'm more than happy with my sg2 and 3g, most places have wifi and I personally feel blessed tech In phones is where it is. I'm still aww struck in where we are today. If people could take a step back and take a few deeps breaths and look at the big picture of where the big 3 have taken us in the last 5 years and what 5 more will bring you will be fine. Americas need to pump the breaks and be ok with the great stuff we got. Adroid phones are coming out so fast and so many its mind blowing. Every one should come to my island of Kauai for a bit to see how nice a little slower pace of living is and you will apreciate your phone and service at hand ( unless you got sub 300kbs serving in which case I'm sorry for you ). Idk why I said all this but we all gotta apreciate what we got :-)

EDIT- it would be cool to have a little more ads for updates and androids but eh. AMD doesn't have tons of adds and I'm a AMD guy and I don't mind. Intel pumps out adds like apple. I almost like having a phone or knowing what all the masses ( iphone ) don't know/have. And I really like our little xda club :-)

From the new SDK:

Hardware-accelerated 2D drawing

All Android-powered devices running Android 4.0 are required to support hardware-accelerated 2D drawing. Developers can take advantage of this to add great UI effects while maintaining optimal performance on high-resolution screens, even on phones. For example, developers can rely on accelerated scaling, rotation, and other 2D operations, as well as accelerated UI components such as TextureView and compositing modes such as filtering, blending, and opacity.

I think the dev community will pick up some with the impending GB release, but I don't know if it will ever match that of the Inspire's. My girl has that phone, it is a great device. Huge fan of Virtuous Unity. But the Infuse is lighter and sleeker and the display is brilliant.

I have had no issues with GPS on my phone with certain roms, not always perfect though. Some roms are better than others when it comes to the GPS.

The filesystem that Samsung uses is RFS, don't know much about it but most custom kernels convert it to ext4 (voodoo lagfix)

We have less devs, but we are lucky in the fact that the few we have are quite good.

There are some BT issues because we use a not very well known chip I believe? But I am currently running CM7 and after being properly tweaked it runs very well.

Very happy with the Infuse and will have it for quite a while!

On Froyo

- doesn't work out of box (can see 2-4 satellites but no fix)

- used lbstest menu, changed mode to MS assist, 10 starts 5-7 fixes within 3 seconds

On Gingerbread

- doesn't work out of box (can see 2-4 satellites but no fix)

- no way to get into lbstest menu

- tried different roms, best case is getting a fix in minutes with Valhalla but not stable (drifting, losing fix, not accurate, etc.)

So I'm thinking, to fix this on GB, if only someone can figure out a way of changing the mode (standalone vs MS based vs MS assisted) or better have full access to lbstest or its equivalent on GB.

cheers

EDIT

Forgot to mention, I tried GPS Aids paid version as well (on Valhalla)

Purchased, tried the auto fix option, nothing happens;

Downgraded to V2 (read somewhere that it works better than V3 which is the current version in Market), tried clearing GPS folder (or something alike), phone suddenly rebooted.

Then it takes forever to verifying license.

Then upgraded back to V3, noticed that I need to uninstall V3 before intalling V2.

Did that, and instantly got email from Market telling me I have been refunded cuz I uninstalled the app...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
GPS Aids worked perfectly fine for me.

Here's what I do:

1) I use GPS Doctor, which is supposed to cause you to reboot.

2) I download the GPS Aiding Data for Forced Method. Native Method doesn't seem to work for me, but there hasn't been a difference in my GPS performance.

3) Use GPS Status, which detects the satellites around you. You should be able to see some at the bottom. They are white at first, but once enough satellites are around and you're connected, they should turn green (not all, just some).

4) Use your GPS like you normally would.

I hope you're using your GPS outdoors, instead of trying to fix it indoors. It's very likely that it won't work when you're indoors. I practically get instant locks when I'm outside.

By outside you mean walking on the street? I'm trying to get a fix while driving my car, you know, to get turn by turn directions. I hope a car qualifies as "outside". Anyway, I get a fix after several (lots of) minutes. I'm not going to paid for gps aid donate version. I paid a lot for my phone! (i'm not being cheap, it's just that where I live it isn't easy to get us dolars).

I think on froyo I had less waiting time for fix. But can't really tell. It's been so long since I moved to GB.

I think I'll end up selling my phone or giving it to my gf and get a sgs2 or galaxy nexus for myself.

What does your TF do when closing the dock? Will it stay off and asleep?

I just got my B40 dock back after RMA (timeline and replaced parts number summarized here). I didn't really pay attention to how it was before I sent it because I only had it for a few days, except that it didn't sleep even when MobileDock Battery saving mode was set. Now after the RMA, it stays asleep correctly, but when I closed it in a darkened room, I noticed a light coming from the gap. It woke up!

In short, opening and closing the dock would behave like this:

1. While open, press the power button on the tablet (or the lock key on the dock). Table would go to deep SLEEP and would not wake up with a keyboard tap. However, as I close the dock and it approaches about 5 degree angle, the screen would turn ON and, worse, it stays on. Pressing the power button would not turn it off.

2. While ON and not asleep, close it. As it approaches 5 degree angle, the screen would turn OFF. It would turn ON as soon as the dock is opened again (regardless of how long I left it closed).

FWIW, the TF is B50 on Revolution ROM 2.1.0.

Edit: reluctant of another RMA, is there a microswitch inside the dock that detects the open/close position? If so, I might just disconnect it unless there is a software fix.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
There is no switch. There's a magnet right beneath the - button that tells your TF to go to sleep when you close it and wake up when you open it. Don't put it to sleep before you close it. I have b60. When I press the power button before I close it, it would still stay asleep and wakes up when I open it. It's not a dock issue. It's a TF issue. May be the b50 is built differently. Don't know.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost_:
I uninstalled "No Lock" and now the screen stays off in scenario 1 above. But looking at CPU Spy, it wasn't deep-sleeping and instead it stayed at 216.

Not doubting you, but how did you know that your B60 was deep-sleeping for sure?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
I don't. All I know is that my battery lasts forever. Besides, if it doesn't go to deep sleep, then fine. I don't care. Like I said, as long as the battery lasts me the whole day without me worrying about charging, I'm good.

Why are people so anal about this sleep thing? Get an ipad if you want your device to deep sleep that badly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost_:
I think there is a difference in being anal and trying to be sure about what our device is donig ;) -- especially after one has just received it from RMA.

Being in XDA already makes us more attentive about our devices than the regular population, so can't blame someone for checking.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Actually, no. I think it's the opposite. If you're here in xda then chances are you are fine with some of the imperfections that come with our devices. That's why we mod.

It's the ipad users who expect things to be perfect. Myself and many others have pointed this out many times. iOS devices crash just as often as everything else. The only reason people think they don't is because when they do crash there's no error message. One moment you're in an app and the next you're on your home screen. iOS is built that way. It's like sweeping the dirt under the rug to give the impression that the place is spotless.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ian77ex:
Hello.

ROM manager is unable to download clokworkmod recovery. Maybe because I'm in a "sanctioned country" CUBA and I have a lot of internet restrictions from both Google and my ISP.

My question is: Can I manually download clokworkmod recovery and copy it on the SD card and have ROM manager install it?

If the answer is yes: How? and where do I find Clockworkmod for the captivate?

i897 stock 2.1.1 rooted and unlocked.

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
all rom manager does is put this zip file on your sdcard. its not needed.

just drop this on the root of your sdcard, reboot to recovery and reinstall packages twice. CWM will come up then
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pironic:
the one caveat to this ... make sure you have the 2e boot loader when you boot into recovery. The 2e bootloader is the stock bootloader that comes with froyo. 3e will require you to have the update packages signed, and therefore will need to downgrade to 2e before you can switch to CWM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Wrong.

2e RECOVERY comes from firmware 2.1, which the OP stated he was on. Froyo comes with 3e recovery. Has nothing to do with bootloader, because the bootloaders are the same between eclair and Froyo.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ian77ex:
GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Working, one more question. I noticed three things:

1 - If I reboot to recovery again it goes into stock recovery (2e). Then I hit reinstall packages only once and ClockWorkMod comes up.

2 - If I delete the update.zip from the sd card CWM will not work.

3 - ROM Manager still says that CWM is not installed therefore is not working OK.

Is all this ok? Should I select: "Install sdcard:update.zip" while in CWM? Should I do something else?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
That sounds pretty normal to me. If you are getting into CWM then thats all that really matters. The deal with ROM manager is that it doesnt work very well with our phones. But if you are trying to flash a custom ROM you can still do it without ROM Manager. However, you need to read up about the rom you want to flash because it is a slightly risky process. Its as risky as using ROM Manager and almost Russian roulette if you dont read.

But do not delete the update.zip after you install it. I dont know if it messes with the boot process of recovery mod but I do know its better to have that backup file on your SD card already if you run into a problem later on.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Don't bother with ROM manager. Its close to useless with SGS phones. Make sure your 3 botton combo works and you should be golden. Also making a jig isn't a bad idea also, just incase you do screw up and you get in a softbrick where your keycombos decide to not work.

Hi all, I'm running Cyanogenmod 6.5.7 and in the last couple weeks I've picked up my phone only to find it was off, not sleeping. It still has plenty of charge left (I can't remember when my phone last went below 50%), and it boots back up without a problem. You wouldn't know there was anything wrong except for the fact that it sometimes turns off on its own.

My first problem is that I don't know where to look to see what could be the trouble. It's running ADWLauncher EX. Beyond that and the OS I don't know what could be relevant. I switched to CM7 last month, up to then I'd been running GingerLOL and I never had this issue.
