[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeaViper:
I recall there was a thread about this a week or so ago but I can't find it ... basically since updating my phone to Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0 via the .exe link on this forum, the HTC weather app just says United Kingdom instead of my actual location, any solutions for this?

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
You can either manually add your location or just wait for Agps to kick in. It's good to let the Rom settle for a while too after flashing. Turning off fastboot and restarting a few times can help too.

Hi all, I'm using ARHD and I'm getting this issue aswell, have searched dev and q & a forums but there does not seem to be an answer that has worked, anyone else got any ideas?

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeaViper:
This doesn't work. AGPS doesn't have anything to do with it, as my location is accurate on the Accuweather mobile web page and in Google Maps. I have restarted my phone numerous times and it doesn't have any affect. As the post above this one mentioned, its not just on my ROM. I have a feeling its an issue with HTC/Accuweather but I would like clarification on this please.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiward:
Hi,

my mates DHD also has the same issue, gets UK on wifi but on AGPS/signal location we both get the right location, i'm surprised no-one else has mentioned this?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timpuli:
Same happens here in Finland too, DHD doesn't update "my location" right after 2.3.5 update... I have mailed to HTC for this issue but no help from there... :mad:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiward:
Yeah, seems like it's an issue, but only on wifi, hope it gets fixed soon!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] de-v8:
I'm having the same issue, stuck on United Kingdom.

Pleased to see it's not just my phone!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeaViper:
Mines not on WiFi, I'm using my mobile network
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
I have had this issue on several roms. Usually I have to turn Agps off and GPS off. Reboot. Use GPS test to clear Agps. Turn both back on and Make sure you get a GPS lock. Then go back to widget and open. It will fail again, but when you hit refresh it will finally connect to accuweather. Sometimes this process has to be done more than once. Usually though it will just start working on its own. How long before it does though could be a while.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeaViper:
I've tried that, turned GPS off and back on again, gone onto Google Maps, found my location, ran the widget and it still comes back as United Kingdom. This is both on WiFi and on Mobile Data.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muikkuman:
It looks like its a official problem as everyone seem to have the same problem, hope we get a fix soon.

It seems like wallapapers that I find/download (even if they are in 800x480 res), look pixelated and not as good looking as they should be on my wallpaper. Anyone know where/how I can make my wallpapers look crisp/hd like the retina wallpapers on the iPhone 4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] justice26:
Try searching for them in the android market.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] x1tyme:
There apps for this on market. I used zedge
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xbanhcuonx:
Thanks for the replies guys. The HD wall papers I found in the market still came out pixelated and distorted when I set them as my wallpaper.

After some google searching, I found out that you have to double the width of the native resolution in Android phones that stretch out the wallpaper over a number of screens vs. one static screen.

For future reference, the Galaxy S2 (480x800 native), needs wallpapers at 960x800 res for it to look nice and crisp. Problem fixed, I'm in love with the S2 screen again =]

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mstrandbo:
I have a Tele2 sim, which uses Netcom's network, in turn causes my phone to roam at all times, which is normal for how things are here. The problem is that the Roaming sign by the signal bars replace the speed-signs, so I don't know if I'm using Edge, 3G or HSPDA... Except for going into the settings, about phone and checking the status there.

The Galaxy S I had showed the speed and traffic with another icon besides the signal bars, so it had it sorted.

So, I want to replace the R-sign with the speed sign, in short.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sherlock1:
tele2

i don't know if you solved your problem, but i am curious if you have.

here's the thing: a friend of mine has just as i have a prime, i am rocking vodafone he is using tele2. my vodafone card works in both, a kpn sim works in both... his tele2 works just in mine in his phone it just shows the R as in roaming on top of the range bar and nothing else.

Now is that particalur issue not the main problem...though it tells me something now: the main problem is that on his phone, just showing the R it refuses to go on the internet through 3g or H or whatever, besides wifi of course.

Anybody got a clue on what might be the issue?

thnx in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
If you're rooted you can replace the icon. Its in the SystemUI apk @ /res/drawable-xhdpi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
The R is the symbol for roaming, the apn settings are probably wrong.

/Edit: After a little research (google) it seems the problem is because Tele2 uses the networks of Netcom and Telenor where they do not have coverage themselves.

Don't worry though, the Roaming charges is not "international" charges. So you will not be skinned to the bone from your phone company. :p

Only fix is to change operator.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sherlock1:
we don't know...tele2 doesn't know...we tried everything in every way possible...it's too weird...propably something simple you wouldn't think of....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] textshell:
Did you try checking the option that allows data connections while roaming? That's off by default of course in stock android.

my ADP1 (1.x android) had a big fat warning that "data connection was lost because of roaming" Not sure what ICS displays in that case...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
I'm in the Netherlands and also on Tele2 and have the same issue. Because here Tele2 uses T-Mobile masts, I have to have international roaming turned on or I get no data, regardless of APN, so my phone thinks I'm roaming all the time.

The same is true for my other family members who are on Android and Tele2, but I'm the only one with ICS. Even though our phones all need to be set to international roaming, we are not billed as roaming.

No answer for you, just hoping for a solution without having to root (because I don't want to yet :P)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -pepe-:
Same goes for me. I'm with Telfort (Netherlands), which uses KPN network. I've already tried installing different modem, but that doesn't seem to help.

This sounds promising to me, but I actually don't understand anything of it. Could you explain?

It's good to see there are more people with this particular problem, in different countries too. Hopefully someone will come up with a solution soon. Even if you don't have this problem, why wouldn't you want to see you connection speed travelling abroad?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -pepe-:
OK, i understand what you mean now! I copied systemUI.apk from system/app folder (upload with dropbox, quite easy), changed .apk to .zip and got all the .png files from the res folder in the apk.

Then it turns out there are very neat little icons with corresponding file names. There are files for G, 3G, E, H and 4G connection speeds. And there is a 'R' for roaming file. Off course i could change that png to, lets say, the H icon. But then i still won't be able to see my connection speed right? I will just always see an H icon, since i'm always roaming.

What i am, and supposedly others are, looking for is the place with the settings for these icons. I would like to tell my phone that even when roaming, i just want to see an icon which displays the connection speed, not the fact that i'm roaming.

Little off topic: what is the difference between blue and gray icon colors?

Thanks!

I am feeling very stupid. Turns out that the solution is very simple, I just had to change a very normal setting. Go to: system settings/more (under wireless and networks)/mobile networks (or in Dutch: systeeminstellingen/meer (onder draadloos en netwerken)/mobiele netwerken). Turn off (data?) roaming (NL: gegevensroaming) en turn on national data roaming (NL: same, since it's not translated). Maybe do a short flight mode, and voilà, you can see you network speeds!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilirose:
Nice one, it wouldn't have occurred to me...I expected to have to live with it until my contract ends in a few months.

Definitely not using Tele2 for much longer...everyone in my house is having I issues with texts not arriving, regardless of handset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -pepe-:
Good luck with a different provider, but don't go with Telfort than!

Hello, I know this is a opinionated thread but I'm currently debating on getting a WP7. I wanted to know what people consider the best WP7 on the market. I know most of them have similar internals and specs but what puts one over another in quality.

What things could I do with WP7? I know about chevron but if I do that what are my benefits outside of homebrew?

Would you guys recommend current generation WP7 or previous generation with Mango update?

I want to broaden my horizons and not just be a stuck to one of os.

[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
I don't know much about wp7 but the lumia and N9 from Nokia are supposed to be pretty good (pricey though). From what I here the only thing WP7 lacks is a large number of apps and the ability to customize to the degree that Android can. I have heard good things about the HTC Titan, and that can be had for cheaper than the Nokias.

[Motorola Droid 3] ALostEt3rnity:
After an initial failed root using Pete's Motorola Root tools, I decided to try Zergrush, and that worked just fine. However, after about two hours of use the phone shut down at about 50% battery.

After leaving to to charge for a few hours, I turned it on and I'm now stuck at the initial "setup accounts" screen, and cannot proceed due to "com.motorola.setup stopping unexpectedly"

Pete's root tool no longer detects that it's a droid 3, and Zergrush can't find it, although it does appear in My Computer (Perhaps USB Debugging was turned off?)

I'm wondering if I can fix this if I flash the Brazilian retail image using a bootable sd of CWM, or if I should try some other method. Any suggestions?
[Motorola Droid 3] Accophox:
Are you on an XT862 (VZ D3) or XT860? If you're on the XT862, use the VZ fastboot files; XT860, use the BR fastboot files.

Pete's motorola root tools works with 2.3.4 iirc. ZergRush is for 2.3.5+.
[Motorola Droid 3] BenSWoodruff:
I used zergrush on my xt862 running 2.3.4 stock VZW ROM. I've got su, Safestrap, and getting an error trying to back up /system in recovery. Might this be because I'm on 2.3.4? I hadn't heard that till now...

I sent an email trying to get a refund. 15min is just too short of a time frame if it takes at least an hour to download the data needed to test the game.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:

it might be due the escalated 720 resolution that makes it twice as hard to render

It runs just fine for me. When I first started the app it was running slow like you described so I went into settings/apps/Sonic Cd and force stopped the app. When I reopened it it was running wonderfully. Try that.

I Just bought a Galaxy Nexus yesterday and like the phone, the only problem i have is that whenever i am on a website with a white background at full brightness... The whites on the phone look washed out kinda with a grey or green hue to it, this only happens when I'm looking at a white background... I tried to see if there was any additional brightness settings for the web browser and there is not.

Anybody else experience this?

Any help or feedback would be great.

Thank You!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smw420:
Yes. This phone can't produce true white but can produce true black. If you tilt the phone, everything turns green. Pentile sucks, but I love the true black.

I also have a Rezound and the two displays are compete polar opposites. The Rezound definately can't display true black because its backlit, but the screen is so much brighter and white is like non-yellow snow. With both screens side by side, the rezound is the clear winner when not displaying a lot of black. But the GN looks like whats on the screen is floating in mid air when in a dark room. The GN also looks much greener and I don't believe it displays many colors accurately. With both phones on full bright, the Rezound seems twice as bright.

I've been struggling to get my mms setting configured for a year now with no luck. I have a LG Optimus 7 from 2010 pdc conference.

I'm trying to configure mms settings for the carrier Viaero (small nebraska/colorado carrier). The settings i need are defined at http://viaeronetops.blogspot.com/

The device is ChevronWP7 unlocked. and Interop Unlocked.

I've tried all the suggestions out there, set ADC (no luck), select the provider xml in mfg - Set network profiles (no luck, need different settings). Lg Network Setup app (doesn't list the carrier settings i need)

I've come to the conclusion i need to copy a custom xml config file to the phone then select the xml file in mfg - Set network profiles. I believe i have created the xml config file i need (see attached file) based off of the post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1022833&highlight=mms+settings&page=3

Now how to get the file to the phone. I have windows phone device manager 1.8 from TouchExperience installed. I can copy the file to \My Documents but not to \Windows. The file never shows up in the mfg - Set network profiles. Do i need to copy the file to \Windows (How do i do this) or can i select the file that i copied to \My Documents a different way.

I've seen other paces that say to use Wp7UsbStorageEnabler.exe to show you phone in explorer, tried this but i only see a single directory, tried copying the file into the directory, no luck.

Please help this is really my only complaint about wp7 and would really like to get this solved.

To sum it up, how do i copy a custom carrier xml confg file to the phone and select it.

thanks

Hello,

I have a samsung galaxy s2. I'm having a problem as stated in the title. Here is what i did to my phone :

- Android 2.3.6 KI5

- Rom RevoHD 4

- Kernel Siyah 2.5.1

- SetCPU Screen Off profile : 200-500 conservative.

- i haven't installed many apps.

I also undervolted a bit :

1200MHz - 1200mV

1000MHz - 1100mV

800MHz - 1000mV

500MHz - 900mV

200MHz - 850mV

Apparently if i leave the wi-fi on and let the screen turn off for about 1 hour, the phone will not wake up. I can just soft restart it by holding the power button. but i don't have such problem if i turn off wi-fi first. it is really annoying. does anyone have any idea how to fix this?. Thanl you.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaoruAngel:
Less secure than PIN or pattern unlock as the 'PIN' in the case of Face Unlock is literally written all over your face.

Note that the argument is actually more complicated than this because it depends on what threat you're actually trying to secure your phone from.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] substance12:
the one are i think this is the most useful is when i'm driving and i have to unlock. tell me that isn't convenient.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chbennett:
I tried it for two days, but I became tired of looking like a real winner in public unlocking my phone, as well as it didn't catch my face all the time. (about 66% of the time) I do agree however that it is more than a gimmick.

Thats the only time i see this being useful. I havent tried it and probably dont plan on as right now its just a fun feature if anything.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tct08:
I'm actually constantly surprised by how well the face unlock works! And if for whatever reason you want to bypass it quickly, you can just tap at the bottom of the screen to go immediately to whatever your backup method is!

I tried a couple facebook pictures of myself and those didn't unlock, and I also haven't tried to see if it might recognize my brother as me but honestly, if someone really wanted to get into your phone, they would regardless of what kind of "security" you use. In my opinion, the face unlock is quick, functional and cool. What's not to like?
