[General Questions and Answers] deanffrench:
I had been battling with my GPS UK t-mobile S2 only to find out that my aluminium battery cover was the culprit!! with the cover off 11 satellite fix in 3seconds.

Battery cover on no satellite fix!!

All I did is take the battery cover off make sure all 3 boxes are ticked in my location settings donwload gps fix from android market. run the app gets a fix in 3seconds. and now i have amazing gps signal. inside my office not outside gps fix 3 seconds 11 satellites and accurate pretty much to a couple of metres.

so my advice is to take the battery cover off. even if isn't made of metal. see what results come from that. my expreince with the gps is now pretty outstanding. so i believe the actual gps antenna is actually really good and that at least for me it was the battery cover interferring with the gps antenna.

my girlfriend also has an s2 stock white no root t-mobile uk, gps was working perfect then stopped. reason... same as my rooted s2 the metal back cover interfering with gps antenna.

Hello xda people! A friend of mine got a Galaxy Next and after only two days he managed to hard brick it.

After trying to flash CWM with ROM Manager, he tried to reboot but the phone did not even turn on the screen.

I tried to recover it with all the methods i found but it doesn't go to download mode with the VOL.down+HOME+PWR.

the only thing i found is that it goes into a sort of recovery mode pressing VOL.up+HOME+POWER. Odin detects something but it's useless without download mode.

i also read about forcing it into download mode with a homemade Jig, but haven't tried.

Can anybody help me?

[HTC Sensation] omricn:
Hi everybody,

lately I've been very not satisfied with the quality of photos from my sensation,

I'll upload three examples and explain afterwards:

basically in all photos the sharpness is very poor, in the first photo you can see my face is very much blurred and in the second photo the whole forest is very blurred, also my car looks blurred and the colors are very weak..

in the third one you can see the structure is smudged and very blurred as well as can be seen best on it's lower left side.

some info -

sensation is not rooted and has the 2.3.4 update.

photos were taken with auto settings.

tried setting the ISO to 100 and all the way up, the blurriness is present still.

camera is set to 8 MP.

car photo weighs 1.65 MB, mine weighs 704KB and the third ones weighs 354KB.

restarted the phone several times.

reset the camera settings.

*cleaned the lens only after taking these photos but it wasn't foggy or dirty.

I get this blurriness when taking pictures outside at daytime or in sunset, photos at night are really terrible and look like they were taken with a 10 year old nokia crap.

sometimes I can get really nice photos, macro looks great, took a photo in my garage of the concrete ground with water on it in low light conditions and came out nice.

photo of the car was taken an hour before sunset with quite sunlight outside, did not use flash, and all of the photos in that session came out blurry and very low quality.

thoughts???

P.S. I'll add the original photos to the thread too, the blurriness can be seen better in the originals.
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
Try to play with some setting ect. download a couple of camera app's from the market, and play with those settings.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
HTC compresses the photos a lot for some reason, that's why they come out bad at times. You might want to try a camera mod.
[HTC Sensation] jinrake:

FACTORY reset of all phone or ??

[HTC Sensation] omricn:

shouldn't be too much of a hassle, just make a list of your most important stuff and re-install it.. a factory reset does only good :) I'm very pleased with the phone now, even more than before :)
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
I need to try a reset I think. The photos taken with my XE are shockingly bad, so much so that I'm wondering if I have a duff camera.
[HTC Sensation] omricn:
Yeah that's exactly the blurriness I was experiencing, try a hard reset and let me know if that helped.

Take in mind that the sensation's caera does decode the pictures to a mind blowing small size photo so maybe that's the issue..
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Well, it hasn't helped, worth a try though. :)

and witch one is the best one. by best i mean faster overclocked

thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
You can try Faux or Bricked, both are great.
[HTC Sensation] calvin150:
Faux 0.2.3 is out soon with a whole host of new features, I've found that I can't get Faux 1.89Ghz version to work (boot loops) but it may work for you. Due to this I use Bricked kernel and then I can overclock (if I want to) up to 1.72Ghz which seems to be the max for my chip!
[HTC Sensation] jslim38:
Here's a really good kernel 2.6.35.14-Bricked-v 1.2-gpuoc 320-ondmnd -1536-192.show-p1984@jarvis #6 this is what I use and It's awesome so far I've been useing this kernel for three days and It's lighting fast
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
I'm on BP also and while quadrant is low with stock, I've found stock kernel to be smooth and stable. Today I did flash bricked 1.4, and while my CF scores and quadrant went up significanty, I had lag on homescreens and games like asphalt 6 hd. I have no idea what the problem was. It could have been my Rom, or the way I flashed bricked kernel because I have read so many positives with using bricked.

I went back to stock kernel and all is smooth again, but with low benchmarking scores....

So I guess I'm saying take benchmark scores with a grain of salt. Although it would be nice to have my cake and it too.
[HTC Sensation] gypsy214:
whats you quadrant score? i flashed that kernal but i had problems with 3D and he said he fixed it on the latest version 1.4. and when i used setcpu my phone kept rebooting
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
I don't remember my quadrant score, but CF bench score was really high with bricked 1.4, above GS2.

Now back to stock kernel my CF bench is back to around 5000. Just under the atrix scores.

(But with stock I have no issues with with gameloft games, no lag in asphalt 6 hd.)

I will probably try again in the near future as it could have been user error on my part.
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
Fk quadrant scores! It all depends on how ur phone is running

[HTC Sensation] gypsy214:
talking about games i havent be able to play them on any rom. some says its not supported and somes dont have the 3d graphics on them
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
Do the current kernels all have these problems? I would like to know this before I get this phone. And I noticed someone OC'd to 1.8GHz, is this to fix lag or just for fun? Such OC would lead me to question the Sensation's speed quite a bit. Sorry for hijacking the thread, didn't want to make a new one.
[HTC Sensation] Louer Adun:
I am running CM7 SelfKang9, with Faux's AOSP 0.2 Kenrnel (1.78ghz OC) and undervolt (Thermal Patch). Everything is smooth as butter and battery life is beyond excellent (getting avg 6mA idle). If you're interested in benchmarks, I have gotten as high as a 6499 AnTuTu score, and a 7424 in CF bench. It does run fine at its rated speed of 1.5ghz, I'm just always gunning for that extra speed.

Edit: For Comparison, my friend has an Atrix, using CM 7.1 and Faux with a 1.3 ghz OC, and he was getting slightly slower benches (6000 AnTuTu). Although both phones run great.
[HTC Sensation] Pard0ned:
I'm using pyramid3d 8.0.1 along with the bricked 1.2 kernel.

Runs perfect. No lags, and no other problems, although quadrant scores are really low. Quadrant really means nothing IMO.
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
Sense has a nice bug from HTC that affects Quad & other benches negatively, this can be fixed by using AOSP/CM/MIUI, I noticed this on my previous phones. I think HTC has some lingering debugging enabled in Sense.

Thanks for clearing things up for me, I was worried that the phone had speed issues and the OC was to fix that, now I'm not worried with that anymore. Hopefully I order mines next week, but I plan on undervolting & underclocking, just as I did on my MT4G. Although you benches have restored my confidence in the phone.

(Edit 07.11.2011: I was able to extract and modify the ROM. Send me a PM after reading the thread if you want the download link.)

Hi everybody,

I am sorry to post this in the General section, but the forum would not let me post to the appropriate threads of the developer forums as apparently I am considered too noob. Anyway ...

I have an Iconia A500 on Acer_A500_4.017.07_EMEA_CUS7, rooted with IconiaRoot.

I am being offered the OTA update to Acer_A500_7.006.01_EMEA_CUS7, but do not want to install because I would loose root.

So I would like to download the ROM from the Acer website and modify it according to the procedure listed here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18202192&postcount=19

I looked into this thread for the download link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14501467&postcount=1

Unfortunately, the link I need is not listed there. Does anybody know the link? Can I somehow extract it myself (I have root access and my A500 offers to update)?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Cheers,

[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
I understand if you just want to do it yourself. However, if that isn't the case this rom is all ready to go. Stock with only superuser and busybox installed. I've been using it for a while and it is rock solid.

There is another one too. I didn't try it out but, from the feedback I read, it is also working great for most folks...
[Acer Iconia A500] tim_h:
Hi, and sorry for replying so late (I was on travel),

thanks a lot for the links, JdgM3NT4L! It is not that I actually _want_ to modify the stock ROM myself, but I have a European version of the A500 (EMEA_CUS7) and am therefore hesitant to just install a ROM based on a US version of the A500. I am not sure if there are actually any significant differences, but do not want to risk it.

I think I found the information on how to extract the path of the update in one of the threads of the developer forum (sorry, I don't remember exactly wherefrom):

I think I will try that. If it works I will report the download link here.

Cheers,

[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
Glad you got it. Good luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] tim_h:
Hi again,

ok, I modified the ROM according to kekinash's instructions. It turns out the update script in the EMEA_CUS7 ROM is _not_ identical to the one in the COM_GEN2 version!

In line 27 of the script there is a very long entry starting with "retouch_binaries(...)". A handful of the entries in this long line are different in the EMEA_CUS7 ROM. I therefore replaced the line in kekinash's script with the one from the EMEA_CUS7 ROM. Everything else was identical.

I installed the ROM on my A500 and so far everything seems to work fine. But I will have to test it further to make sure there are no hiccups.

I guess other european users might be interested in the ROM image, but I am not sure if I can upload it or infringe any copyrights by doing so.

Cheers,

Hi,

I read the thread about unpacking and modifying, but I dont understand how to do it, possibly because of my poor english. maybe you couldt upload only the modifyed file, which I should change.

[Acer Iconia A500] tim_h:
Hi Udo,

I will send you a PM with a download link for the modified ROM image. If anybody else would like to have it, please just ask and I will send you the link.

I played around with the ROM for some time. Generally, everything seems to work just fine!

One problem I encountered, though, was that the android web browser crashed badly and I had to reboot the tablet to fix it. Since then it worked fine. Also, Google Maps gave me a strange behaviour at some point: It just exited repeatedly without any error message (no force close). I do not know if these issues are related to the modified ROM image or if their appearance was just a coincidence. If anybody tries the modified ROM, I would be happy about feedback!

Ok, and the following is obvious: I take no responsibility whatsoever for any problems you might encounter when flashing this ROM image. Also, please follow the instructions given in kekinash's thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18146210&postcount=1

Cheers,

Tim
[Acer Iconia A500] tim_h:
Hi again,

I updated the thread title so that people looking for the ROM have a chance of finding it.

Here is some more information. The MD5 of the modified ROM image is: D423B84727BFD91429490D319F30998F

In the meantime, I have tested the A500 with this ROM much more. The browser has not exhibited any further problems.

Google Maps continued to act up (kept quitting without error message repeatedly). In the Market, it was listed under "Not Installed", and I had the options "Install" and "Deinstall updates". Both options did not do anything at all. So something was clearly wrong. I still cannot say if this was related to the modified ROM or some other problem. Anyway, here is how I fixed it:

Removed Google Maps with Titanium Backup. Reinstalled from the Market. Converted it to System App again with Titanium Backup. Everything works fine now. :)

Cheers,

Tim

you DO loose root by flashing a stock rom, but you just have to re-flash superuser (and maybe cwm if needed). I find the stock gingerbread rom very fast and reliable.
