[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekeefe41:
Thank you

I love Cyanogen and all the goodness that comes from the open Android community, but if i am to honest with myself GPS is one of the most important aspects of owning a smartphone.

I actually did not even own a cellphone before i bought the G1, and the final spec that put me in "Buyer" more was GPS.

So yea, time to Odin back to stock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobshute:
I'm running DarkyRom 10.2.2 its 2.3.4 JVQ. Using the bullet kernel I get a 20' location but it takes quite awhile 10 min for the initial lock then is good after that.

2.2 roms lock in seconds. I was lucky and always had a good gps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediDru:
Eugene's newest kernel is crazy fast and accurate. DO NOT APPLY ANY FIXES ON TOP OF HIS WORK. And it will work. First boot up gps test and let it run for 10 mins. Then reboot and test on a a maps program I get 16 ft in under 30 secs and 10 within a min ..... all indoors.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjergjisel:
Hello guys ,, i own a nexus one i have changed from cyanogen 7.1.0 rc1 android 2.3.4 to the cyanogen 7.1.0 android 2.3.6..and i did this change in hope to fix my problem but it didnt,,so the problem is that when i open the contacts and call someone the screen goes blank even though my phone is still in my hand and it stays blank untill i take the battery out.i kinda got around it using the trackball ware from cyanogen settings,,i was thinking is this a hardware problem or a software one??also should i go back to the stock rom 2.3.7 would that be better than cyanogen 7 ?
[Optimus 7 General] tsabasid:
Well here's the thing. Around my house, my provider has excellent 3G coverage, but inside my house its not so good. I get full 5 bars of "H" at about 200 meters from my house but only 2-3 when inside my house. Its OK by me. The thing is that when i come home from outside the data coverage is H with 2-3 bars. If I am at home and turn off/on the 3G option on my phone it just goes to GPRS with full 5 bars signal and never on 3G/H. I would prefer the H than the GPRS. Is there any way to have it lock into H and not on GPRS? Maybe a registry tweak?

Thanks in advance.
[Optimus 7 General] Etaduck:
I have had this issue for a while, and I still don't have any way to force it, but if you find a way I'd be interested.

The only trick I found is not to turn off the 3g but to hit "tap to select" on the Network Selection option, and then selecting my provider again.

In the states AT&T has two selections AT&T and AT&T DR. Not sure what DR stands for but usually toggling between the two will get by back to H. That or sometimes just powering off the device.
[Optimus 7 General] tsabasid:
Worked for me. Select the HSDPA module at the bottom, press the 3 dots, settings, 3g only. Many thanks to Kr3i0s :)
[Optimus 7 General] Etaduck:
Thanks for the head's up, so far so good. :)
[Optimus 7 General] Muvolt:
Eυχαριστούμε! Τhanks!
[Optimus 7 General] Etaduck:
So.... Two minor issues with the work around.

Went to my friends house, an area I know I always have a bad connection. There was no 3g signal so it basically was stuck on no signal the whole day.

Also, went into battery save mode which auto-disables 3g, and it do go to 2g connection. When charging the battery back up it was still on 2g, had to toggle the cellular connection again to find 3g, but seems to be staying at 3g for now.
[Optimus 7 General] energywave:
I'm having issues too

I'm also having issues in Italy, with Vodafone operator. I've posted a video to youtube that shows very well my problem. Please watch it and tell me if you have the same issue (endless switching between 3G and H having very unstable data communications). I'm thinkinh about returning back to repair for the second time... :(

[YOUTUBE]aAr_JFZ_FDY[/YOUTUBE]
[Optimus 7 General] Etaduck:
While I can't read much of what you wrote, I can tell you for a fact that Battery Saver mode does that to my phone. ...

The fix posted above works, until battery saver kicks in, then all is lost.

Aside from that, I just know I'm in a bad area sometimes so it will switch, but for the most part I only have that issue when I turn on battery saver.
[Optimus 7 General] aptcore:
Is that actually supposed to happen? I haven't read anywhere that battery saver turns 3G off. That's not my case, at least.
[Optimus 7 General] energywave:
In the video I had battery saver on, it's true. But the same happens normally even when battery saver is off.
[Optimus 7 General] Etaduck:
You know, that was an option pre-mango in the battery saver menu.... I guess I haven't checked it in a while. That or I'm just losing my mind, which is entirly possible.

That said, I have found my setting that the earlier post randomly turns to "2g only" usually after battery saver is turned on, but it seems to be triggered at random. Not sure if there is a regedit that I can do to stop that, but for now I just go into the menu and change it.

Same problem here with my Lumia 800 on a MBP. Have you been able to solve this problem?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeeelliott:
Well if you've been playing with ROMs, it's most likely because the ROM on the backup is different than on the phone and they aren't compatible. I think this is why custom ROMs don't have cab updateability, of which backups are cabs. As far as I know, there isn't a solution =/

Good luck though!

Ok guys like I said. This is really out off topic. My brother is a fanboy of apple, and he has a ipod touch 4G wit the 3.3.5 version( which is unhackable ) so he tried to do something like downgrade to a previous version, but I guessed that he **** it up, cuz is stuck on the itunes logo n like the charger pic. And I don't now nothin about ios n their ****. I would like to know if u have any idea of wat he do n how to fix it cuz he give up and gave it to me ;) I would like to see if it is fixable

My 3vO just f***k u at the 3rd dimension
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Find the ipod touch 4G 4.3.5 IPSW somewhere. A google search should find it.

Download it and place it somewhere. Connect the ipod to the computer and open itunes. Shift + click restore. It will open up a file browser. Select the ipsw you downloaded. The ipod will restore to that ipsw and you will be back to factory.

If you want to jailbreak, upgrade to iOS 5 and run the tethered...
[HTC EVO 3D] el_chamuco:

[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Needs to put the Touch into Recovery mode, or DFU Mode

http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=566

Do that while plugged into computer, then try restoring to the firmware again. As long as the device turns on it can be saved.
[HTC EVO 3D] AyyRayy:
Dfu is simple. Plug the ipod into your computer and open itunes. Power off the ipod. Press the power button. As soon as the apple pops up hold the home button for 10 seconds until the screen flashes off. When the screen goes black release the home button and hold the home button for 10-30 seconds and your computer should recognize your ipod in dfu then just restore.
[HTC EVO 3D] el_chamuco:
I tried the dfu mod n the shift + restore but no luck n this is how it looks

[HTC EVO 3D] peekeesh:
Download another ipsw, any version will do, and try to install it when the itouch is in dfu mode.

As long as it lets u go into dfu mode, u can still recover it. Good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
That's not dfu mode then.

DFU mode is a black screen. that's recovery.

Ok he told me that he was on 3.3.5 n that version, and that version can be jailbreak in somethin call the thether. So he tried to downgrade to the 3.3.3 so he can do the full jailbreak, and during that he got the ipod stuck in recovery mod

It must be 4.3.5 not 3.3.5....also was the ipod jailbroken??....is your ipod 4th gen??

Anyways this should work:

Download the 4.3.3 ipsw.....first hold the power button for 3seconds then press the home and power button for 5-15seconds untill the screen goes blank....then keep holding the home button for 10-15secs...do all this when the ipod is connected to the pc....this will make your iphone enter the dfu mode....then open itunes..the itunes should show the message an ipod is detected in recovery mode....then click shift restore if you want to downgrade to 4.3.3 then browse for the ipsw file and select it and press okay...make sure you are connected to the internet...it might show you a error...of it does repeat the same process....if you dont want to downgrade simply press restore and your ipod will be back on track...
[HTC EVO 3D] el_chamuco:
O yea sorry. He was on 4.3.5 n yea its a 4G wit 64 gb n thats why I wanna fix it cuz he gave it 2me.

Not jailbroken. Do I need to change the host

Well, I am using Warm 2.2 rom, that has those icons in it. It looks like you guys

But are we still going to be able to flash that, or any ROM actually, if we have s-on? Because I unlocked my phone the htc way and rooted it with the method here on xda and I read somewhere that It's not possible to flash a ROM until you have s-off, is that true?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bamba1260:
I will talk to them and see if they don't mind.

Yes, you can still flash roms and such with the HTC unlock method. Kernels, recoveries, etc... are a little different. You need to flash them in fastboot.

It can still be done though.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kersh:
Hi

Anyone is having ram problems ?

On S2 I always have about 400 in use even with 400 apps installed the worse condition was about 200 free, but on note most of the time with less than 20 apps from market I am having about 160 free.

I fear the moment that I install all the old ones and see again the ram memory problems of first android phones and the need to get back the task killers, configure autostarts and all of that crap that I forgot with the S2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
Android is designed to fill as much memory as it can with apps, so free space generally isn't a concern at all. In fact, in theory you should only be concerned if you DO have a lot of memory free.

Tasker, however, did complain when it didn't think I had enough memory free.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kersh:
The problem it isn't that android use alls, the problem it is that if you don't have enough free all the device will be slower.

why?

Becuase you have all the ram used in programs and if a new one needs more memory, like for example the browser, he will try first to delete others data and then copy her data to the ram and this will make the devices slower. Then we will have another situation, when the program can't delete others data so he can't use the ram and we will get memory notification problems and a slower device that fails to run some programs.

And 150mb free it is very little, some browsers uses about 100/150mb or games or any other apps, so I think it is a situation to be really concerned about.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wendyalison:
I've rooted and frozen several apps from Samsung including the TouchWiz Launcher, I've installed a bunch of apps and RAM can be up to ~430mb once I've killed all tasks. I use two task killers (Process Manager & Advanced Task Manager) and I have the latter auto-kill tasks in 30 minute intervals.

But if you've installed 400+ apps, I'd think that would somewhat affect the RAM count.

Hey guys, i was helping some friends root their phones (galaxy s II and Evo 3D) and we couldn't get the wireless tethering app to work. I then checked my phone just for kicks and giggles, (Evo 4g which has been rooted and my tethering was previously working) and now it wont tether as well, most the time my computer will see the network but when it connects says it doesn't have internet access. The reason im posting this here is because it seems to be happening to multiple devices now, are providers blocking tethering now? whats the deal anyone having similar issues?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-rye785:
Same here bro, but on my evo and my girls optimus, and we both had tethering working and were using regularly. The only thing I can think of that changed was we upgraded to the newest radios last time we switched roms. Not at all an expert, you think that might have something to do with the problem?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonewolf42:
Im not sure, i think it may have something to do with networks getting smarter... ie, sprint verizon att etc. are they maybe blocking it you think? Ive noticed it on all three of those carriers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-rye785:
Companies like lg are always trying to break/kill root with every update, so I think if they could they probably would. Tethers a powerful tool that everybody wants, and most have now for free. That's alot of lost revenue.
