Ok.. not sure if this help ..but in root exploer under system\app\MMS.apk I Change the sprint apk and added a cricket and two MMS message came through .. but I still cant send any .. any Ideals ...since ## don't work..is there another to adjust those setting...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlmancuso:

after that everything should be good to go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigmike7373:
ok.. but is there away around the ##3282# ..this rom doesn't have or is disable ....
[EVO 4G Android Development] phillymade:
Weather works fine for me. Can add and delete locations no problem. It shows weather in my location. USB connection works as well. Follow the OP, connect usb and change the language to English (South Africa) and it will works fine. And the South African Language does not change the text at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jjgrantham:
For those who don't wanna have to change language and all that just to mount your SD card properly just use the Dual Mount SD Widget available in the market. It works flawlessly on the rom.

[EVO 4G Android Development] DrFobos:
I know about these widgets are used on their HD2 under android firmware sd card, but I want also to make it work on firmware flawlessly without additional widgets))).

The battery works fine for 12 hours and 15 %!!!! ~ 30 minutes of talk time + games + WiFi ~ 20min
[EVO 4G Android Development] vin255764:
Battery is good.Will update themed ROM today ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Natodu:
I agree. I haven't had much time with it but I prefer the chop suey kernel. It's snappy. No need for aggressive kernel which is good but not smooth as butter like chop suey. Great job Vin
[EVO 4G Android Development] Natodu:
Vin where can I get the wallpaper from last update. Nighttime without blue grass.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vin255764:
personalize>display>wallpaper>htc wallpaper.Switch to grid preview.

If you want to save them,they are located in system/customize/resource/
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mweuch:
Hey Vin, great job here! Just tried out the theme version and runs great n smooth so far. Just one question though, how do I get the taskbar at the top to look normal instead of the clear one? Thx
[EVO 4G Android Development] phillymade:
Running the updated themed version. So far the only issue is friend stream. When I go to it and wait for it to load the feed it goes the the HTC screen and then loads the last page/widget I used.

[EVO 4G Android Development] blizzard1017:
Sorry if I missed it but the 1st post has screen shots, are they from the themed version?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jjgrantham:
I'm really liking this rom so far and w/ aggressive freedom battery seems great so far. For some reason I really didn't like seeing the EVDO instead of 3G so I re-did the top bar a little bit. Link below. If anyone likes it feel free to flash it. (wipe cache & dalvik just to be safe :rolleyes:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mccurt29:
Do u have one with just the 3g icon changed only I don't like evdo either but I like the rest of the icons ...& if I flash this will I still be able to change the transparency in the options menu
[EVO 4G Android Development] Natodu:
When I used the aggressive kernel it was a little slow and I had some random reboots.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mweuch:
Thanks I am going to try this one. Also I noticed my WiFi did not wrk with the kernel that came with this rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jjgrantham:
Here you go! This just replaces icons...doesn't affect transparency.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jjgrantham:
I read that you were getting good results w/ Chop Suey but the beta build w/ HDMI sounds like it's sketchy and I use HDMI. But I don't like hearing about random reboots!
[EVO 4G Android Development] geeksquadryder:
Rom running good, no issues ... Loving this

Sent 3.5
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrFobos:
But I just marked "EVDO" is very like - unusual))))

By the way instead of Multi Mount is a great free app in the market yesterday, suddenly ours, called "Auto mount", is enough to set it up and turn on auto connect settings in sd card, my card connects cd with no problems
[EVO 4G Android Development] vin255764:
I think freedom kernel has hdmi.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vin255764:
Do you have black HTC clocks for 3.5?
[Captivate General] EtherealRemnant:
I am about to throw this thing out the window. It holds a signal better than my Inspire but I'm in a new state (Louisiana) so I NEED my GPS to work and even Telenav just WILL NOT get a GPS lock and fails. It used to work before ... Ugh I'm so over it! And searching for GPS doesn't get me anywhere... Can someone tell me how to make this thing lock on to the satellites? GPS test finds ONE and it won't lock even after 30 minutes!
[Captivate General] Captain Zero:

[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
If you need GPS that badly, you need to look at garmin or tomtom.
[Captivate General] emuneee:
The only way to fix GPS on the Captivate. Download the Amazon app on your phone...then use that to buy a new phone. I heard a couple people did that and now have a 10/10 satellite lock with 3m accuracy.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
I forgot about that fix:D
[Captivate General] fuloplori:
Get a bluetooth gps antenna !!! It's a cheaper alternative to buying a new phone :p:D
[Captivate General] EtherealRemnant:
Thanks for the remarks but at&t signal is fringe at best in my area and my Inspire can't hold onto it but yet it gets a GPS signal within 2 seconds indoors *facepalm*

As for ROM/kernel/radio.

Fasty III Kj2, 2.6.35.7-I897UCKL3-CL614489, I896UXKH2

I swore I was running an 897 radio. Something is fishy with that... The site said I897 but obviously screwed that up so now I am off to search for a compatible radio - that radio has great voice reception too. DAMN IT! Its always SOMETHING with the Craptivate, isn't it?
[Captivate General] mikel.canovas:
Use hellfire's fix. It has always made my gps work wonderfully. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17383148/H3llstorm_GPS_Fix.zip

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

Why aren't you using the i897 kj2 modem?
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Watch the swearing in the forums. I will say this only once.

As for your issue the GPS on the captivate has always been known to be less then perfect. the GPS built into a phone should never be used to replace a stand alone GPS mainly when you are new to an area.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
not trying to argue, but the rule about swearing is gone from the " member conduct "http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?a=81

however it does say to be aware of what might be offensive to others.
[Captivate General] EtherealRemnant:
First time I have ever been warned about swearing... And I've been on here for years. I'll try to mind it but if its such a big issue then why not just filter it like all the other forums?

As for the GPS - my Captivate used to have PERFECT GPS locks - and that fix didn't work either... As for the radio, its because KJ2 doesn't work well at ALL in my area...
[Captivate General] zelendel:
I have gone over most of your posts sense last night and for the most part you have not been swearing.

As for the rule. Yes it was removed (will be put back soon) as It is understood that we treat each other with respect and understand that kids come to this forum alot. So the swearing is not allowed as it is not excepted in any polite setting.

TRusselo you know me well from my time with the captivate and you know that it is as simple as if you wouldnt want your kids reading it then dont post it.

The sheer disrespect floating around the forums has gotten out of hand and the swearing is a Big sign of it.

While swearing at each other maybe cool in high school or on the street we require that more respect be shown while here.

EtherealRemnant You have been here for a while your right. So you should know better. A few years ago the title of this thread would have been ban worthy, but I am in a good mood so a warning I think will make my point just as well.
[Captivate General] EtherealRemnant:
Well I apologize for being offensive - I'm sure you can understand how annoying the Captivate can be as a device... I will try to refrain from swearing in the future but I wasn't directing it at a specific person, more at the phone. I understand about the kids though.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Yes I can understand completely. Thank you.
[Captivate General] markjo:
I flashed the latest leak of KJ3 found in the development section, and with the stock kernel and stock everything (only rooted), my GPS performance improved. More than once was I able to get a lock faster when not moving and maintain it a little longer after driving. Of course, it was still pretty crappy... after a few minutes, the phone went back to searching and took ages to lock again, which it did only after I stopped and waited. But I guess it was better than the GPS on any other ROM or even stock that I have tried.
[Captivate General] EtherealRemnant:
I must have just had a good Captivate. I got it launch day and my GPS performance was spot on... now I don't know what happened to it. And its so annoying to flash things over and over to get it right. I wish I could combine certain parts of my Inspire with the Captivate... Basically throw the Captivate internal storage and antenna into the Inspire... >_>
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
once again, not arguing, i love a good discussion,

i thought it was the position of xda that xda is not for kids, it is for developers. and that xda caters to the devs, not the random passing people.

and yes some developers are kids, but kids with enough intellect and smarts to know what bad words are and are able to make up their own minds about using them.

I know the rule is somewhat lifted and i refrain from using the words unless they are required to emphasize a point. (sometimes really frickin needed).

but back to topic....

here are some CWM3 flashable GPS configs i put together.

stock Gingerbread ATT

stock Gingerbread Rogers

pb3 GPS tweaks

my personal WIP GPS config (mostly from JSV and some from h3llstorms config)
[Captivate General] Stevenrogers_420:
Grow up people. We try not to use profanity but as adults we also look the other way when it is used. Just because you dont want to see/hear it used doesnt mean you can impose upon others that don't have a problem with it. There are plenty of forums available that won't hurt your delicate feelings.

Carry on.... /rollseyes
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Sorry I don't look the other way and anyone that knows me as a mod knows this to be true. It is not a matter of hurt feelings it is a matter of respect. Swearing while talking to someone or asking for help is rude, uncalled for, and not allowed. Simple as that. Now I have been guilty of a swear word every now and then myself, it happens.

And your right T. We do cater to developers which are to be showed respect. That means no swearing at them.

I will not debate this further. Swearing in the forums is not tolerated period. Wanna swear at someone then don't do it here.

As for the kids part as much as I would love for XDA to go back to a true developers site we have to accept that average people are here now and that encludes every kid that gets their parents to buy them an Android/WP device so they can be cool too, even though when they do something they don't understand like flashing a rom it just makes them look dumber then they are.
[Captivate General] nate25:
Trusselo: you do realize that a lot younger generation of kids are getting into things like this. i bet theres more 12-15 year old kids on here than you think which is the future for everybody. i dont see know point in swearing around here anyways.

on topic: ya my gps sucks bad to. i dont even bother to use it
[Captivate General] zelendel:
I don't either and your right the ages of people on this site has fine down and that is part of the problem. The younger people don't understand what they are doing and expect things to be handed to them and they feel they are entitled to things that they are not. Not to mention they think think no matter what happens they can just return it and that also is not the case. This is not a place to come and make your phone cool and its not. This website is for hardcore developers. While yes we welcome all to come and enjoy it needs to be understood that using anything on this site requires alot of research and homework.

You would not rush out and reprogram your PC but they are all rushing to flash a rom and it is the same thing.
[Captivate General] EtherealRemnant:
None of the fixes here worked... I'm about to go through the whole process of going back to original stock FroYo ROM where my GPS worked perfectly and just use my phone as it came out of the box (with working GPS).
[Captivate General] bonefan03:
This is going to sound strange but. . Try using the gps with the screen off. This has actually worked for me. The voice follows me very well and is able to recalculate on the spot within a minute. But, with the screen off you have to depend on listening to tge robotic voice. It took a while getting used to it, but try it out and see if it works for you
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Have you tried a different modem?
[Captivate General] gilpdawg:
That is consistent with my findings. Also, if you lose lock with the screen on, I've found that quickly toggling the screen off for a few seconds will make it relock. Also, when testing with something like Mytracks, it never loses lock. At least on my phone, it's the combination of screen on and navigation running that is the problem, not the GPS itself.
[Captivate General] brifal13:
go to this link to fix your gps http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239713 supl.sonyericcson works better then google and debug level 5 works best on mine.

[Captivate General] reinbeau:
I have found the GPS to be tolerable with JK4.

Now, as to the swearing, someone reported the f-bomb used, so I am going to edit it out. I agree with the discussion about respect, there's a time and a place for swearing, forums are neither ;)

[Captivate General] gattman:
Here's something that worked for me. Take the battery cover off. Once I did that, I got instant GPS lock. I have a Body Glove hard case to protect the back, so I leave the cover off. Works great.
[Captivate General] flyence:
As we all know the GPS in the Captivate is not excellent. My accuracy is about 10m. You can change your Rom, or you can change the kernal and baseband. It may work.

I had Stock JF6.. KE3.. KK4 ..

I also used CM 7.1, even ported ICS.. GPS was taking too long to get my location.. (or it couldn't get it at all) EVEN with Data Packet(or WIFI) turned on.

But then I flashed SAUROM.. XXJVU based with GK3 Modem

GPS gets fix in a few seconds even with Data Packet/WiFi turned OFF.. : O

And not only gps works great.. Wifi and Data Packet connections also work much more faster..

[Motorola Droid Bionic] reverepats:
Hey guys How everyone doing?

I see that you guys dont got a Q&A Section over here, so I decided to drop this here. Today i'm heading over to the store to switch from Sprint to Verizon.Needless to say Sprint service has only gotten worse over the years. Been with them for almost 10 years now (be 10 yrs in Janurary). AnyWhoo, I got a couple of questions for you guys, pretty straight forward, and Sorry in advance if this was the wrong place for this. But basically im coming from the EVO 3D (EVO 4G Previous to that) and I understand that the Razor is being released in early November, But I need to switch today cause between the TErrible 3G, and Data and such, I need my phone for work. My Co-Worker has Verizon and tells me that his Data coverage is amazing. So im thinking of picking up the Bionic, seeing that its the latest and greatest out right now on Verizon, But Ive been reading around for the past 24hrs that alot of people have there 3G/4G signal just cut off. Now I dont really lose my 3G (5 miles north of Boston) here, but the data speeds are just so slow that I cant really do anything most of the time. I got ROOT and all of that good stuff of course, but trying all the different Tweaks and Radios and such can only help so much. So my Question is, Is the Bionic Plagued with losing its 3G/4G signal out of no where constantly? I figured I'd ask you guys before I did anything today. Thats the one thing that worrys the most. Of course im also worried about root and such, cause over at the EVO 3D DEV section we got some great DEVin going on right now, But I really gotta focus on more important things than that right now. Any advice would be great fellas! I really appreciate it, and once again SORRY if this was put in the wrong place

Jon:D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] omnia38:
I refuse to read this until you break some of this up into paragraphs....this is ridiculous.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] reverepats:
WOW.....Gee thanks for the help Brotha!!! that was so helpful in many ways. DO you really have that much trouble reading it? Jesus, DO you want me to add 10 periods between each word LOL?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
I like my Bionic and all (and the coverage is certainly better than the ATT garbage I came from) but I would recommend seriously considering the Nexus Prime. (Screw the RAZR.) If you've been with Sprint for a decade, are you sure that you absolutely cannot wait another 2-4 weeks for a clean, unlockable phone?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] reverepats:
well that was my original intention. But the one thing i was worried about was AVAILABILITY for the galaxy nexus. I figured id would have to be a member of verizon in order to pre-order the nexus. So I thought maybe ill get the bionic for now until the galaxy nexus came out. But things with sprint has just gotten to bad lately. Its a tough decision, but now u got me second guessing LOL. that may be the best thing i think. Thanks for the feedback!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] JillyBohnson:
This is just my experience, but I have noticed the data has been dropping a lot lately. I lost data yesterday, but after I turned the phone on the off it came back.

My only issue with doing that is when I power down & restart I lose apps, which gets old. Then I have to download all again.

Its frustrating paying $110+ a month for something that loses data & forces me to reinstall apps.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bionicmonkey:
In. my opinion the bionic is a dirty phone and would recommend it to anyone the data is blazing fast and I very rarely have any data drops and I have to be in the middle of nowhere for that to happen. And with the fact that you can't add an extended battery to the razr this phone is just plain better.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
But the data drops aren't from spotty network, they're from a goofy radio. So, to me that is a toss-up. You can live in a prime coverage area, like me, and still have issues. The upcoming patch is supposed to fix the problem on all phones, but I will believe it when I see it. MOT has already backpedaled on the bootloader issue, so I would not be surprised to see them do so on a 100% radio fix.

As I said, I would not even consider the RAZR. I replaced the battery on my iPhone six times (no kidding), so the idea of not being able to swap a batt without disassembling the handset drives me nuts, even if it does take less than 10 minutes.

If you are able to get a Bionic now and trade to a Prime when they come out, then you really have nothing to lose. For someone who does not have that option, though, waiting a few extra weeks would be advisable IMO.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wanderfowl:
Another vote for waiting for the Galaxy Nexus. I really like my Bionic, but Motorola has already said, by releasing the Razr, that the Bionic isn't its priority anymore, and given the number of issues many are having with the phone and the locked bootloader, I'm tempted to say that if you can wait and get the GNex, you should. My 14 days ran out before the GNex was announced, but otherwise, I would've made the jump.

Also, skip the Razr altogether. It's a slightly improved Bionic with no user-replaceable battery. Don't bother.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tnnm:
I made the switch from Sprint to Verizon in July (to lock in the unlimited data plan - had to pay an ETF for that but it was worth it - I had an Evo 4G). Service and speeds are amazing, but as other posters have stated, I get the data drops like once a day. Usually, a flip to Airplane mode and back fixes the problem. I am sure it is bad radio code, not a bad network.

I started with a Droid Charge through Costco with the hope of being able to swap it out for the Bionic. As luck would have it, Costco eagerly replaced the Charge with a Bionic for both me and my wife because the Charge had such crappy bluetooth that would drop all the time for many of their customers. There was no argument when we went back in.

Now Bionic: I love the Webtop mode and for that reason would probably stick with Motorola, but my work may be different than yours. I'm typically in an office setting that has a lot of network lockdowns. Having a 'second computer' over which my employer has no control is very nice.

My concerns regarding the Nexus are two-fold: 1) I don't know if they will use the same crappy file system that they used on the Charge or if Google had complete control over the software down to that level of detail. It could also be that ICS uses a whole new file system - I just don't know - I am only pointing it out as an area I would research if I were making the same purchase decision as you are.

2) Development for the Charge was limited. With Google's impending purchase of Moto, I expect accelerated development on Moto products.

Finally, with regards to the Razr: Cool, but no replaceable battery means no battery pulls when things go wrong. I stand taller than 4'8" so an extra 5mm of phone thickness in my pocket is not an issue.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] YoungSkeezy:
Hi Jon,

I've had EVERY carrier over the past few years, and I can say, Verizon is by far the best. In todays day in age where data is everything... Verizon brings it. Even 3G I would still sometimes get 1.5mbps, and now with LTE 4G, its amazing.

The price of Verizon is kind of "Eh" but, when I'm sitting on the Naval base (which gets horrific signal) and I can still pull 10-15mbps down, I can say I'm one happy guy.

The only thing that concerns me about Verizon is their policies on things, ie: Bootloaders, Rooting, etc. If I were you. I'd wait until the Nexus becomes available. If you go on craigslist, there are people willing to sell their old phone PLAN to you, as in those old unlimited data ones. HIGHLY suggest going there. I have had friends do that recently with NO issues.

Either way, As much as I love Sprint's phones (EVO 3D being OC'ed to 1.8Ghz) Verizon's reception is incredible nationwide :) If you have any questions, PM me!
