Whats the difference between the boot loader and the engineering HBOOT?

And why has it come back S-OFF? Is that part of the re-flashing process they carry out at the repair centre?

I have previously rooted my device a couple of times (I returned to stock and unrooted before sending to repair) now its already S-OFF, im unsure on the process of installing Clockwork Recovery Mod and gaining root. Have you any advice, Ive not come across this before?

Thanks for your help :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
The bootloader, well, is just the bootloader :p while the engineering HBOOT will allow full write access to the device (if unlocked - ENG S-OFF). It will now be easier to root your device. All you need to do is flash ClockworkMod recovery and start flashing roms, kernels, etc. Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638 and download the version for your device. Then get the ClockworkMod image for your device and flash it using Android Flasher (you could do it via fastboot but this is easier). Once you do that you're ready to go.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzysmygod1:
Hmm Ive got SHIP S-OFF not ENG S-OFF :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Well, you can still ENG S-OFF if you want.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzysmygod1:
I will carry out the normal rooting procedure to root it again then. Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] davidteleco:
Hello,

I have a SG Ace with the CyanoGenMod 7.1 installed.

The GPS only gives the position sometimes. I have tried GMaps, Navigation, GPS test plus and GPS status and none of them work properly.

Actually, only Navigation has worked twice and when it does, the rest of apps work too (just for a limited time).

It takes ages to work and the problem is not finding the satellites since I detect (with GPS status and GPS test plus) 6 to 10 of them. It seems like it can't process the data and calculate the coordinates.

Any idea of what could be the problem? Have you heard of same problem in others SGA with CGM7? Any solution?

Thank you very much!

PD: I haven't tried the GPS with stock rom but since it has work twice with CGM7.1 and detects the satellites I think we can discard that the GPS is broken. It is more like bad configuration.

EDIT: when I download the A-GPS info I NEVER get a satellite. This maybe a symptom of something.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
Did you see the GPS thread in the Android Dev section ?

EDIT: this doesn't seem to work. Any idea?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Clumzie:
Same here, tried the above but still no GPS.

Installed GPS Test and nothing showing - put the phone outside not testing in the house.

Worked OK on stock ROM
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] davidteleco:
Now we have a problem. I have tried almost every trick and nothing worked. I can't believe we are the only people having this trouble, there must be someone else.

Does anyone know how the GPS works? What is the algorithm? We should be able to find where the problem is located.

My GPS can find the satellites (from 6 to 10) even inside of buildings (2-5) and have worked twice, only twice but it went okay. Usually, it doesn't give me the coordinates, as I said, this only happened twice.

I think the error could be related to the next step, once it has located the satellites, what does it have to do? Synchronise with the ntp servers?

Also we can try a personalized gps.conf config file because the others below haven't worked.

I hope someone understand the GPS process better than we do and can help us.

Thank you all.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] happily1986:
I provided 2 sets of gps.conf and secgps.conf and both also didn't work for you?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] spicediablo:
My problem is similar.I can't get any satellites until I reboot.even after reboot, it doesn't lock even after having more than 10 satellites.I have to restart the GPS status a few times before it locks

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Clumzie:
Tried the second set of conf files and left my phone outside for about 20 mins and finally got a lock but only about 80 feet accurate.

Thanks for the tutorial.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] revile:
Not sure if you have the latest modem/radio. Flashing the latest might help if that's the case.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Clumzie:
Probably being a bit dim but is that an FM radio and what is/where do I get the latest versions of the modem?

EDIT

Flash a current modem file in ODIN I guess?

Finally getting very quick fix times (inside the house) by following instructions in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239713

I think using Assisted GPS was the key though.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] spicediablo:
With assisted GPS, it is expected to have much faster lock

Sent from supercharged cyanogen7ace
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] davidteleco:
I have tried almost every gps.conf in the forum and I haven't fixed the Ace yet.

However, I discovered two things:

1) If you reboot the phone with the "GPS Active" option ticked and reset the AGPS data (with GPS-Status) you always get locked.

2) When you get locked as I said in 1), it always refresh the coordinates once per 30 seconds (a normal GPS do it in once per second, checked with a stock galaxy s2).

The 30 seconds refreshing is very suspicious, like a wrong value in a configuration parameter. Any idea?

I think the problem is in the cyanogen, remember this is a ported mod from galaxy s to galaxy ace so it was not originally programmed for this phone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] spicediablo:
Good information, I suspect it's due to cyanogen too. Can't wait for the official cyanogen. I hope it will fix the GPS issue. It's annoying sometimes....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] riikii:
switch to stock
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] davidteleco:
After trying all the possibilities:

- Installing stock (gps-ok) and restoring my cm7 backup NOT WORKING*

- Installing stock and cm7 from new NOT WORKING

- Installing different stocks versions WORKING*

- Installing mods (gingerreal....) WORKING

- Trying almost every fix with cm7 (gps.conf, fasterfix-apps...) NOT WORKING

After all, the GPS HAS NOT WORKED EVER* with cyanogen mod 7.1 RC1 in galaxy ace.

So I just got back to stock, rooted and reinstalled apps, configs, etc.

I have something to say: if GPS doesn't work to anybody with CGM7.1, this MUST BE in the specification rom page because for many people (like me) the GPS related apps represent a high percentage of use. People should be warned about this issue in order to install or not the rom.

Thank you all, you have been very helpful, as always in this forum.

(*) normal working means <20s to lock, refreshing every second, even when you turn the gps off and on again...

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdbastardy:
Hello everybody,

I am a noob on flashing Windows Phones. Since I cannot wait for interop-unlock for my phone I could use some help on flashing my AT&T surround.

1) How do I use the DTF RSPL to flash their rom? If someone has a sort of complete tutorial on how to do that I'll really apppreciate.

2) They said not to use RSPL with Mango RUU or with SHubert 4.XX. I have Mango (7720) installed on my device with all the updates. Can I still use RSPL (version and number looks compatible)?

If not of them is working can I revert back to Nodo (and how) to interop unlock and then upgrade.

I have searched the whole forum but I am not able to get a complete view of the processes.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] theblaqman:
I don't guess anyone has had this problem but me. I'm running Eaglesblood 2.3.7. I've checked the settings for sound and the preferences in google voice and the cyanogenmod settings and can't figure this out.

When my phone rings it never rings with my selected ringtone. It rings with a ringtone I used to use months ago. And when I miss a call, the phone plays an mp3 of a song I have that I have probably only listened to once. And it plays that song to completion unless I mute the volume, and steals the audio focus so if I'm playing some other video when it happens, I can't hear the audio until the song finishes playing.

I tried clearing data on the dialer app, which causes the app to flash and then play the missed call song. I delete the two offending songs and the phone seems to be trying to play them because now I have no ringtone at all. All I can do is use talking caller id from the app market.

Anyone ever heard of this?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
Not every phone app is going to look good on a tablet.

It depends a lot on how good the app programmers were, and if they were flexible on screen resolution. Android makes it possible - the programmers make it happen.

If the app version looks good on Fire or other tablets, it should look good on NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdajunkman:
Uncheck "Compatibility Mode", then reboot. Old apps written for a small phone screen will then not appear in a small box at the top of the screen. They may not exactly run in full-screen....that depends on how the app was written and whether or not it can format itself to the full screen, but they will no longer run in a small box surrounded by blackness.

Next 6 months:

6 data capacity upgrades

3 data speed upgrades

Nice =)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Apparently in the last 6 months we've gotten 2 voice, 2 data speed and 2 capacity upgrades. That adds up. Though the upgrades must have been very very recently.

In the next 6 months we have 3 voice, 1 data speed and 8 capacity upgrades. Awesome. That seems like precisely what we need.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
From a transparency perspective, I think it is great they are putting this info out there.

From an actual results standpoint, I was disappointed to learn that

1) they have done data upgrades and I've seen very little to no difference in daytime performance

2) the tool only gives you specifics on which towers are getting work done for "past" changes, not for "future" changes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
I think it really is intended to give you the feeling of transparency.

There's really nothing specific enough on here to tell you what's going on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
When you click on the tower icons in the map it actually tells you what they did to that specific tower (in the last 6 months)

It would be nice if they also provided that functionality for future upgrades.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
When you click a tower it tells you:

X voice upgrade(s)

X data capacity upgrade(s)

X data speed upgrade(s)

Those are pretty general comments.

Every tower in my area has had at least one of each in the last six months and yet my data speeds are worse off than six months ago.

In fact the tower closest to me has had 2 "data capacity upgrades", 1 "data speed upgrade" and "1 voice upgrade" in the past six months...yet my service has declined.

It's really not very transparent because we don't know what the classification for each of these three types of upgrades are.

Could they do something extremely minor to the tower that would likely improve nothing for users and yet have it classified as a "data speed upgrade"?

Probably.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
Nothing I'm the past 6 months, nor the next 6 months :( fu sprint
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
This is a comment that the info provided is not useful.

Irrespective of whether the info is useful, they do provide info on what they did for a specific tower in the last 6 months, but they don't provide that info for "future" upgrades. I would like to see that info for "future" upgrades. That is my point.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
My point is that this gives more of the illusion of transparency than actually being transparent. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
That may be true, and certainly is one explanation for the non-effects of the "past" changes in my area.

However, I'm more than happy to determine for myself how useful the info is for future upgrades, if they would at least provide it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
The tower I use has no upgrades planned and had some apparently. Cant use 3g off of it tho
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Upon closer inspection of the 6 upgrades we've had in the area and of the 12 upgrades to come none of actually hit the tower in my neighbor hood. In fact, of t he 5 towers on the map in my area almost all of the upgrades have gone to the tower that is within spitting distance of a Sprint Store and Sprint repair center. The only place in town you can get 4G is in the parking lot between those stores.

Ha ha what a dumb ass. I told the guy we don't have 4g on my island and that sprint isn't making new wi max towers with 4g any more so its pointless getting a 4g phone without lte on it.

According to this, in my area (Los Angeles) I got the following in the past 6 months

35 data capacity upgrades

31 data speed upgrades

Yet my data speeds are about dial up speed at the moment - makes me long for the modem handshake sound.

Whenever Sprint tells me anything about how they are upgrading data speeds, there is a problem with a tower in my area... I can only think of the Thompson Twins - Lies, Lies, Lies, Yeah! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PA43ETEU1Vg&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PL9C2B90E448D44C34

I'm thinking the data upgrades are them adding a bonded T1 for a several thousand customers and calling it a day.

Video playback may be a bit iffy until the apps are updated; one of the Diceplayer mob posted saying that it now supports HD playback for .mkv. They didn't mention .avi but that generally needs less resources than .avi so you could try your avi in Diceplayer.

The general trend in open source video development is towards .mkv, I'm trying that first.
