[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
My observations using the GPS Status app.

DEVICE: US BB WIFI FLYER, 16GB

Working: GB stock rooted & GB Leedroid

NOT WORKING: S-OFF, 3.55.1114.31 All configurations below

1. Globatron's B09 (originally upgraded with the WIFI package built from 3.55.405.1 3G package).

2. Globatron's B10 Cross-grade from Globatron's B09 Wifi

3. Globatron's B10 full clean install of US Wifi RUU over Globatron's B09 Wifi .

Not tested : HC OTA update from GB

Setup: Turn off screen timeout. Open GPS status or another app that uses GPS that shows you status constantly.

Symptoms to watch for:

GPS turns on and locks quite fast, first time will stay locked for 30 - 60 secs. Then it loses lock and starts searching, Acquires lock again in a few seconds, then loses lock again after about 10 sec. repeats the loss of lock from this point acquiring and then losing lock every few seconds.

Tried clearing AGPS data and re-downloading, no help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MePascal:
Referring to DigitalMD's post above

I have the BestBuy WiFi 16GB Flyer

I purshed it stock and took the OTA HC update.

Over the last two days I have since Rooted S-Off and am running Globatron's US Wifi RUU build.

Before I rooted my GPS did not maintain lock. It was symptomatic like your findings.

After I rooted and flashed HC, GPS was still symptomatic.

I have since edited the /system/etc/gps.conf folder.

The first string of text by default is:

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

I have changed it to read:

NTP_SERVER=us.pool.ntp.org

I used Root Explore and long pressed the gps.conf file and selected open in text editor. Make and save changes and reboot.

Having owned the HTC Thunderbolt, that device was plagued with similar GPS issues and this was a fix that was offered up in other threads here at XDA.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vince2008:
thanks, will try this now.....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Have you tried observing the actual status using a GPS status app? It may relock fast enough to satisfy some programs like Google maps and navigation even if it unlocks every few seconds.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MePascal:
Confirmed:

Monitored the GPS lock through the GPS Status App.

I have kept a solid lock status.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Theoretically that should not be enough to keep it locked , but might help achieve first lock faster. This is a strange problem so I don't know whats going on.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vince2008:
edited gps.config to NTP_SERVER=us.pool.ntp.org same results no go for me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] grippa:
could it be a possible power saving related issue?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
NOT WORKING:

1.Lee Droid

2. Globatron's B10 full clean install of US Wifi RUU over Lee Droid.

Not tested : HC OTA update from GB

Setup: Drive around with Flyer. It loses GPS consistantly every 1-2 minutes.

Symptoms to watch for:

GPS turns on and locks quite fast, first time will stay locked for 30 - 60 secs. Then it loses lock and starts searching, Acquires lock again in a few seconds, then loses lock again after about 10 sec. repeats the loss of lock from this point acquiring and then losing lock every few seconds.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
Could someone try this for me … open the locations app and allow it to find you. Wait for the GPS icon, at the bottom to disappear, exit that app and open GPS Status … see if you maintain lock
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
A-GPS as cause?

Maybe I overlook it but what I see, is the problem a 3G ROM on a WiFi version. I am not an gps-expert but is this not normal because we have a A-GPS which is using also 3G and WiFi signals for a proper GPS signal?

I will check this theory and maybe it has nothing to do with the ROM-Version but with the build.prop and other specific GPS stuff which expect a proper 3G.

PS. And yes, I am no fan from removing some phone apps to have a WiFi-version. This is dirty and I am not sure but maybe this problem is the outcome.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] grippa:
As you said, A-GPS or Assisted GPS relies on a data connection to acquire some satellite information to make the lock faster. Therefore, it makes sense, if it was not as stable with out a 3G connection on the move.

But then again, whats confusing is that, it is stable on gingerbread, at least for me. but not on Honeycomb. i'm always tethered to my phone on the move, so A-GPS should work normally.

*EDIT: I forgot to mention, it happens on both the 3G HC ROM and WiFi HC ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appledroid:
This case is pretty nice, I have the Diztronics Matte Case and this far superior.

EDIT: It appears I messed up with adding images, so I provided direct links to a Picasa album under the corresponding text.

First off, I'd like to point out its design.

https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694664838498885570

This case uses a combination of three forms of TPU.

The back uses two, and the side has the third. From the photo, the majority of the back is matte with a gloss design on the side of the back.

Now for the TPU on the actual sides on the phone:

https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666212754847586

It's a nice textured form of TPU that provides a great amount of grip without making the phone impossible to slide in and out of a pocket or gather dust like silicon. It may just be that I'm fourteen, but I always found the Galaxy Nexus a bit slippery, or maybe it's because of this the darn phone gets, which looks great but isn't entirely practical.

The case itself doesn't add much to the size of the phone, but it provides decent, and very eye catching protection.

https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694664844600398466

The back of the case is also raised near the camera to prevent scratches that phones like the EVO were plagued with.

https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666188166111906

The volume buttons get a dedicated cover, as expected, but makes them feel mushy, but they're really small to begin with.

The cutouts on the phone are pretty big and shouldn't have any issues, and there is also a double-holed thing at the bottom for lanyards.

https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666177130719426

This is overall a great case, for its price its pretty hard to beat as well. You can find it here on Amazon.

That looks like the cover I had on my Incredible. I liked it, especially when I cut it to fit my extended battery... hehe! Though I dont know if the material is the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
I've had this since launch, it costed me ~£4 from ebay which I was really pleased with.

So far it has treated me well, feels good, looks pretty good and protects my phone.

I should receive the Diztronic Matte Case sometime next week, I was hoping for that to be an improvement on this! (OP doesn't think so! :()
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_Tech_Ninja:
I like that. I am using the stock one from Verizon. I am still waiting for a good case, but this one is pretty nice. I want a clip too I think. However, I break clips by bumping into things :)

This is the only Galaxy nexus case I currently have, and boy does it get the job done for $2 from Amazon.

Almost got the cruzerlite but the price was right on Qubits.

Anyone know if I were to purchase an extended battery if it would fit with this case? Any extended batteries you'd recommend (for GSM) that won't break the bank (or my phone)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chlehqls:
I ordered a clear one from amazon for $1.75. My old smoke TPU case was turning a bit yellow so I ordered this to replace it for a while. I'll post pics if anyone is interested.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thegoodrat:
Errr, what am I doing wrong? Apparently my phone doesn't have any custom lock screen settings. I don't know if I'm just this dumb or blind but I can't for the life of me get/find the lock screen settings :(

I flashed Starburst rom about a month ago and it had the lockscreen settings but I haven't seen the menu since. I have flashed multiple Calkulin versions, Blazer and UnNamed roms. Right now I'm on modem EL29 and Calkulin v2.8 with Team Venum ICS theme V2.0, if it makes a difference.

Please, please help me through this. I feel like a noob for asking this but a custom lockscreen is the final step to make my phone 10x better than any body's else lol :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wolfkstaag:
If you want truly custom, get Widget Locker or GO Locker.

Otherwise... I just looked through my phone and I can't find the settings, either. >.>
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thegoodrat:
Lol so the screenshots in threads from the devs are lies??? :confused:

*sigh* yea I have been using Go Locker whenever I want the true custom look. Guess that's my only option then lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thegoodrat:
Figure I'll bump this one more time. I got some time to fix this today, so hoping for something from the smart people here. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
I went and looked at Calkulins v2.8 and I didn't see a lockscreen mod listed. You need the lockscreen mod to have the lockscreen settings. Not all ROM's are created with the same features, so when you change a ROM from Blazer to Unnamed to Calkulin you may gain/lose some features depending on what the ROM includes.

You might want to look for the "13 lockscreen mod", but double check compatibility because I believe Calkulin's ROM is odexed and you need to make sure you have a version of the lockscreen mod compatible with an odexed ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Click the BLEND in my sig and flash 2.6.0 and you will have one HELLA Fast rom WITH the lockscreen settings baked in. Here is the thread for the rom HERE
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lancair360:
Try settings> location and security> set up screen lock

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rayandreas:
+1 this is the way to go. this rom rocks!!! and youll have everything you want and need...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
GoLocker is one alternative, but there's a security vulnerability if you plan on using a pattern/pin lock. See my post on same in General section.

Recently I've been playing around with MagicLocker (free in marketplace).; not as many themes as GoLocker but more secure.

stuck at trying to paste into /system/app folder and can't seem to toggle Mount R/W there.

update: if this happens, apparently a reinstall from the amazon appstore fixes root explorer
[A7 Themes and Apps] tmurphy2006:
Even with reinstalling the app I am unable to toggle the Mount R/W button at that same point.

Update: Installing BusyBox seemed to fix whatever was keeping the toggle from working. But once I go to paste the files, it tells me there isn't enough space.

Also, somewhere along the way I lost the keyboard software, and its not detected under settings either -.-
[A7 Themes and Apps] mlk89119:
Hey, this worked! I didn't actually do a factory reset because I had a bunch of stuff I wanted to keep, so i thought I'd take a gamble.... My Elocity A4+ didn't restart automatically after copying the files, so I restarted it manually. I thought I might be in trouble when it brought up the "sign in to google" page over phone data. Of course that couldn't be done since I have no phone and the wireless authentication wouldn't work.

I restarted again and noticed that the google authentication had a "later" option, which I selected. That took me into my tablet like it had been before. I disabled the wireless, copied the wpa_supplicant file provided, restarted again and ... viola! It worked. Reenabled wifi, went into the market and updated a bunch of apps through appbrain. I thought this tablet was good before (able to sideload most apps I needed) ... I love this tablet a lot more now. Thanks again for the info.
[A7 Themes and Apps] wormsleg:
Got Android Market working on Elocity A7+

I also was getting the message that there was not enough space to copy the files, so I deleted some the apps that were on the Elocity A7+, like Fring. It gave me an error when deleting Fring but I did a reboot and it was gone. Android Market is now on my tablet. So far so good.
[A7 Themes and Apps] MyClothesOn:
Thank you! This worked for me.

(I'd click the Thanks button but I don't have one, maybe I'm too new?)

I didn't do the factory reset either.

Had to manually reboot.

Didn't have any space problems but I uninstalled some stuff anyway.
[A7 Themes and Apps] androidnewbyman:
Very Grateful

Hey Destron5683,

As someone who is not particularly well versed with Android I am super grateful for this step by step fix you've provided.

I got the A7+ yesterday and found it to be quite a deal. I was unpleasantly surprised however to discover this whole no android market none-sense. Your fix worked flawlessly, I now have the market app an have downloaded a bunch of apps that have worked great.

Skype is the 1 app I have had no luck with. I've installed it but when I try to sign in it reads an error message like:

"Skype has stopped working. Would you like to sign in again or exit Skype?"

I can't get passed that error loop. Reading around, I get the sense that Skype detects whether or not the device is compatible and blocks you from successful log in.

If by chance you now of a way to get around this, please do tell!

Again, thanks so much for posting this useful step by step guide and for going through the trouble of creating this well needed fix.
[A7 Themes and Apps] JohnnyCrash:
I followed these instructions to a T but after copying the app files the tab did not switch to the splash screen, so I rebooted and the "Click the android" came up but I could not click the android to continue the setup, it just got stuck there.

android market

Great post. I have been looking for this since getting my A7+ passed over to me. One problem, I cannot get the file from the Filesonic site. They have changed policy and only the user can download his files. Is it possible to send another link to access this file?
[A7 Themes and Apps] Ryan_D:
The instructions are very helpfull and greatly appreciated

I got everything working fairly easily with the exception

of having to reboot it myself, as others have noted it didn't

auto reboot.

Still in process of trying to find a google play apk as the

old market app from this thread while functional, it really

sucks compared to play on my infuse.

via rooted/hacked A7+ with xda app
[A7 Themes and Apps] Ryan_D:
updated market app or play store?

only problem with this hack or mod is the included market app while functional it really does suck, anyone have a line on an apk for an updated market or play app?

update

ok I'm a Tool, I asked first rather than work for it... I dug around a bit and found exactly what I needed, installed and tested, then wrote a quick set of destructions.

my following post answers the question...
[A7 Themes and Apps] Ryan_D:
Elocity A7+ working market / play store

I followed the destructions provided here (use at own risk, worked perfect for me)

Thank you Destron5683

with a few exceptions, as noted in previous reply's most people had to manually reboot

I bought root explorer on amazon market, required for getting base market working.

Once you get that up and running it's fairly straight forward to install

play Vending-3.5.16.apk (destructions below) which is available from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1582422

scroll to bottom of first post and look for the attached files, I used the non mod version, save this file to root of an sd card

Thank you Deeco7

Again follow at your own risk, this process worked for me, it may not work for you...

I kept an sd card in so I could backup the file in a place that won't get overwritten/deleted if I have to factory reset at some point

open root explorer, make sure your at / in upper left corner, next navigate to /system/app scroll down list to Vending.apk

, long press, copy, hit back twice so your at / again, navigate to /storage/sdcard-disk0 (or wherever you prefer to save backup)

press paste, now rename file to Vending.bak (or whatever you will remember)

rename the Vending-3.5.16.apk to Vending.apk

long press it and select copy, navigate back to /system/app , hit Mount R/W , delete Vending.apk , then paste your new Vending.apk into folder.

hit back button untill root explorer exits, then shut off and restart

you should have Play Store icon in app bin, press it and enjoy.

not sure if it was my router or isp or tablet, apps didn't want to start downloading in play store,

as soon as I exited from play store it had downloaded 1 app and was getting the second one,

they installed fine, hope this helps people (next time I ran play it worked fine so likely isp)

[A7 Themes and Apps] yiyo:
my usb port is not working anymore
[A7 Themes and Apps] Ryan_D:
it did

It did let you use most apps at the time I originally did the hack.

I reset a few days ago and now 70% of my apps I had installed prior to reset give me the not compatible with your version msg.

wondering if changing device type in build.prop to an atrix or other tegra device will open up more apps,

personally with froyo 2.2 being only currently stable rom that everything works in, I highly doubt that any fix will be more than a temporary solution.

sideloading the apps works for most, so it's not a device issue, it's a play issue, and hunting down apk's for most apps is beyond a pita.

if anyone has any advice on what to change to get more apps available, or news of a stable ics or jb rom that everything (especially bluetooth) works would be greatly appreciated.
[A7 Themes and Apps] Livermoron:
(most of what is below is pasted from another post I made skip the stuff that sounds out of context) - but the build.prop changes might be all you need. Not sure about Play versus Market. The devices come up OK when I log on with my PC as well as the individual tablets. But I had Play working before and even though it said I had a Nexus 7 it said it wasn't compatible...

I have successfully installed Minecraft Pocket Edition demo (I am assuming the paid version will work too - and will confirm within a day or two) on 3 separate Elocity A7+ tablets.

I have been trying to do this through Amazon (but eventually it worked on Market - see below) and started trying to fool the App Store into thinking I had something else so some of what I did may not be needed, but I am ignorant enough to not know for sure and not interested in trying to find out right now.

Anyway, here is what I did on the second and third tablets after I got it going on the first;

1. Download and install Root Explorer (Speed Software) and Z4root (RyanZA)

2. Z4root - make root permanent

3. Change the build.prop file like this (Root Explorer asks if you want to make a back-up and I always say yes, but have never needed it)

BTW - this is lower/upper case specific, as in what is below is exactly like I have it in the tablet.

model=Nexus 7

brand=google

name=mysid

manufacturer=asus

lcd_density=160

4. Do this - http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1431967 - (this installs an older version of Market - not Google Play, and I think that is key to this whole thing working) but note these differences - I didn't bother with any of the back-up copy/paste stuff. I did add the extracted app files to the system app folder and then had to force a reboot. Upon reboot when Android set-up starts (it'll say you now have a Nexus 7!) make sure you choose to skip everything (it'll ask to sign-in or create a new google account or skip - make sure you skip all of it)

5. Copy paste the wpa_supplicant file like the instructions say.

6. In the system app file delete the Freing or Fring or (something like that) apk (I don't remember but will look it up on my wife's tablet later and edit this). When you delete this file it will say something like "Stopped working" blah blah and you'll need to do a force reboot.

7. Upon reboot you should have Wi-Fi back and there should be a market icon on your app screen (actually the icon was there before the final file paste in the bin folder (I think)).

8. Open that sucker up and log in.

9. Search for Minecraft Pocket Edition - find it, install it, go play!

The Elocity A7+ is a really nice tablet for the $70-$80 I paid and now with Minecraft (my kids really like this game and I look at it as them being creative) they are even better. I am also assuming since I got Minecraft going I should be able to get a lot of other stuff that was previously unavailable due to "not compatible with your device" BS.
