Yesterday my Sensation XE started showing the 4g symbol instead of 3g symbol.. I'm using o2-UK and have recently found out that they did do a test of 4g... Sensation XE doesn't support 4g... does it?

Sensation XE - Stock Kernel - InsertCoin ICS 4.0.4

As you can see here --
[HTC Sensation] nexus2515:
That symbol is purely tweaked to show 4G instead of 3G or H...

Checkout apps and themes section...U'll find many of them
[HTC Sensation] smyth12:
It shows 4g, 3g, g, and H though..?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Dratini:
I am getting terrible battery life, and it happens because the proximity sensor doesn't work right. I don't know how to fix it, I tried to flash another phone.apk or something to disable it, and it just crashes whenever I try to make a call.

The same thing happened on Evo deck as well as Cyclonic.

Another problem is that whenever I reboot, the battery stats are wrong. I will reboot at 57% and it will be 43% when it starts up again. I am almost sure it is a hardware problem, unless this happens to other people.
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
For the battery part try recalibrating your battery then run it till it dies then charge till 100% and you should see better battery life

[EVO Shift 4G General] lvpre:
Try flashing the ruu and see if you get the same result. Since you are already rooted, rooting again should be simple.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Rebooting always causes battery drain because of the boot animations. I have a new update on rom manager with sysctl mods in it that lower the battery temp a lot, puts your phone in laptop mode, and a few other things that seem to help battery. But I try not to reboot very much because of how much it drains. I made the rom on rom manager because of battery drain issues in particular and I was getting pretty sick of it as well.

[EVO Shift 4G General] THEsunnypiglets:
I'm having the SAME problem but I was getting excellent battery life until I started using SS9 App2SD. Does having my apps installed on my SD card because it suuuuucks now. Even before on SS9. Whyyyyyy????
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Buy this:

http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli...PA7373KT&categoryRefName=Chargers+&+Batteries

If you messed up your charging port this will charge your battery directly through AC without needing the phones micro USB port.

As for the "proximity sensor" you might want to take it in to a Sprint store and have it looked at. I would run RUU 2.2 before you do that though.

Try flashing Dodge Kernel 1.6.

Why does using Apps2SD use more battery life? Because your phone uses more CPU to access the SD card while starting an application I would guess. You should ask strapped365 via PM or ask in the SS9 thread.

Constantly switching from 3g to 1x also kills battery life majorly. If you are getting bad 3G service turn off 3G and switch to 4G. This will actually improve battery life. Your phone only needs 1x to receive voice calls and send SMS messages.

credit to newkidd on this too.
[EVO Shift 4G General] drob311:
Apps2sd incorporated into S.S. "fools" the system to think that the ext partition is part of the system... Majority of the wear is on the sd card, I'm guessing the cpu might be working a little more, but nothing substantial enough to drain your battery.
[EVO Shift 4G General] THEsunnypiglets:
Idk. I've tried recalibrating it, letting it run down, charging it up. Even on AOSP roms it's worse now. Could it just be that at this point it's just my battery?
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Having the A2SD on a Rom does not use a significant enough amount of battery life to affect your battery life the way you stated. As you stated " Even before on SS9 " . My guess is you may have a rogue app. You can try booting into recovery and wiping battery stats. Also as VICODAN mentioned, if your on the stock kernel. You can try the dodge kernel, it's quite good.

EDIT : Just saw you post above. If it does the same thing regardless of what Rom your on. Then your battery is probably done.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
IDK ever since I rooted this phone my battery life has not been very good. I've followed the cm wiki on troubleshooting battery drain (wipe battery stats, drain battery all the way let charge back up ect), and nothing seems to really help much. I wouldn't say it's the charging port as much as it might be the type of charger. My usb cord for my pc sucks for charging until I went out and bought a cheapo wall charger that seems to do a much better job. So yeah that charger you mentioned would probably help a lot. My battery isn't warped or anything, you should of seen my G1 battery lol.

As far as network I use wifi when I'm at home which drains the crap out of my battery more than 3G. When I'm out away from home my battery is pretty decent though. But differnet roms have differnt wifi settings so that's probably another one of the issues.

[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
I didn't know wifi drains the battery faster??? I always thought it was saving me battery haha wow i was wrong but even with wifi on all the time i still get over a day of battery life. Now i'm gonna have wifi off and see the results i get
[EVO Shift 4G General] Dratini:
I forgot to mention that I used Spare Parts Plus or its cousin Blade Runner or something to remove boot animations, so I don't think its boot animations. It never did that on my Evo or my Droid.

I have recalibrated the battery, and even used different batteries. The battery life is still atrocious, worst than my Evo ever was.

Sparksco, do you have your rom on here? I would very much like to try it. And was the battery life good before you rooted it?

Does anyone have the high android system usage problem? I don't think I am the only one who has it, but if I am, lemme find my battery stats...
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
It was so long ago honestly I can't make a fair comparison to then and now. But since then I've done a lot of things. Flashed my splash screen, recoveries, radio updates, roms. Which radio are you on? I've heard radio's can effect battery life quite a bit but not sure if it applies to the shift very much. Now that you mention the Evo I'm thinking about trying to port salvagemod gingerbread just for fun to see how it pans out lol.

I am the defender of Light and Truth. Suppressing the truth can incur the wrath of God.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Disable 3g when using Wifi. Try it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
So what your saying is turn off mobile data completely? I don't see the point in just disabling 3G and leaving edge network on when I'm on wifi.

I am the defender of Light and Truth. Suppressing the truth can incur the wrath of God.
[EVO Shift 4G General] rhodiggah:
I don't turn 3g off when I'm on wifi n battery is fine. If it is 4g, now that's a different story
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
wifi or wimax for data, 1x for voice.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
The only thing that won't come through is picture mail, but you'll get a message telling you to download it. I think you'll have to turn 3G back on to download it.

Although, doesn't wifi take precedence over 3G in the first place? So essentially wifi shuts off 3G except when a picture mail comes through?
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
That's what I thought cause it takes awhile after turning off WiFi for me to get 3g
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I can make calls on just wifi just fine. Maybe because my kernel supports wifi calling?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
So yeah, we all know asus botched the GPS in their latest tablet,

they denied us a fix (irony) and now we're left to pick up the pieces ourselves.

Does anyone have some pointers on how to get a bluetooth GPS receiver to work on the prime?

I have a really old one (+7yrs) that doesn't seem to catch on with any of the apps I tried.

Its so old its unlikely to be compatible with anything android so a new one is in order,

so I was wondering if anyone knew a cheap one I could grab to get some GPS going.

In a quick search I found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BT-Mini-Mob...408?pt=AU_GPS_Accessories&hash=item4160a71b08

It certainly is cheap, but is it a viable receiver?

Any help towards getting GPS on my prime would be greatly appreciated!

(No I dont have a GPS phone..)

Cheers,

- Sven
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Him.. I would be a bit leery of that thing. Something seems a little.. anemic? Get it, try it, report back as I would be curious how well it works and how long the battery lasts. Check Amazon for "Keychain Bluetooth GPS Receiver" if you want something like that and read some reviews.

I have read very good things about the Pharos GPS brand.

Naturally, you then need an app from the market on your tablet that talks to the unit so that you can get the GPS data it has sent to your tablet. So, it is not just as simple as pairing the 2 BT devices, an app is needed to then gather and use the data on the tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Ive looked into those apps, they do something called mock location I think?

I have an old as hell GPS receiver but alas the apps weren't having it.

It pairs as normal, even does the 0000 password thing like it used to on my win mobile 2003,

but it simply isn't pumping out any data, not sure whats going wrong.

And yeah, the pricetag on that ebay one is raising some "this cant be decent" flags on my end too.

Then again some of the cheap Chinese crappery has surprised me before. ;)

If at all possible id prefer buying a tried-and-true GPS unit though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Pharos brand IGPS 500 has been talked about many times here alone in the Prime threads.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Assuming it is this thing, I find the price a bit steep,

for 90 bucks you can pretty much buy a standalone tomtom or similar.

I was hoping for someone to confirm wether or not the specs listed on that ebay receiver would be compatible and workable for navigation,

and if it could in theory work, id gladly be the guineapig to try it out and see how it goes.

But if it would be a dud per definition there'd be no point.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Shop around my friend, I can see some on ebay for $50 and used for much much less.

The one on eBay does "in theory" work. Like I said, search Amazon and read some reviews on those little keychain models.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] n11:
Just FYI regarding 'mock locations'. That's actually a setting in the TF201 that you have to use with external gps units. I can use Google Navigation on my TF201 with data from my phone gps via wifi (using the TetherGPS program that is available in the market). In order to make it work I have to turn on 'Allow mock locations' by going to Settings, Applications, Development and then click 'Allow mock locations'.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I have tried and tried and tried to get my Droid to tether GPS but have not been able to make it happen - tried many apps and many settings. I can, however, tether 3G and data all day long. Have not yet solved the GPS via my phone yet as we have great GPS units in our phones already.. generally speaking.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Yes, many used ones, even one for 29 bucks, but "ya'll yanks" dont like us Dutchies. ;)

None of em are willing to ship to the Netherlands so im plum out of luck with ebay and pharos.

Local shops here dont seem to carry Pharos products at all, so that's two dead ends on that one im afraid.

Amazon doesn't seem to carry any keychain GPS units.

So meanwhile I went to one of my favorite cheap swag suppliers, deal extreme.

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/65-cha...king-bluetooth-gps-receiver-data-logger-26337

What do you guys think of this thing? Its acing the reviews it seems.

They also mention google maps working with it somehow, so there may be a good chance?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Yes, they certainly do, here is just 1 http://www.amazon.com/Freedom-Input-Keychain-GPS-2000/dp/B0010NQ08M maybe not in the price you want, but they do carry several models.

Not only that, Amazon has the pharos IGPS new and used and if you can shop there, you can buy there. I would take the proven pharos in same price range over an unproven model any day.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Phobos is an American thing it seems, I cant shop at amazon.com either.

Although I agree with you that it is worth paying a little more if its a proven fix,

I cant get my hands on them so they are definitely out.

The 99 dollar keychain one probably doesn't resemble the 12 dollar one much. ;)

bluetooth gpa

am using holux blue tooth gps receiver with bluegps program from market and have full gps functionality on prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Could you please specify which type you have?

Dealextreme seems to offer this brand, so I can get one if it really works well. :)

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/holux-m-1000-32-channel-bluetooth-car-gps-receiver-25563
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Yeah, if your going to post a brand you have used with success here, PLEASE try to include the model - that would be super helpful.

Notice how the Holux says "32 parallel satellite-tracking channels for fast acquisition and reacquisition" and that one on Amazon is 51 (2x the price) and the Pharos does not say.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
That other one on dealextreme even boasts 65 sats. Thats a helluva lot of sats. :D

Unfortunately its impossible to know if its actually compatible.

I did email the manufacturer about android compatability,

but the site was full of chinglish so dont expect an answer. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
The thing is, there is no reason why it would not be "android compatible". These BT type GPS devices are BT devices. So, if they use a current BT standard - which they should - your fine. A BT type GPS is not made to be manufacturer specific. That is the point and beauty of them. They are for tablets, phones, computers, whatever. So that is not even a question worth asking.

The only things you should care about is the quality and name of the brand you choose and the software app you choose to put on your tablet. The tablet app you use is likely way more critical as it is what will do all of the work in sending the GPS signals to your tablet. The BT GPS unit is kind of just dumb in terms of who it is talking to and who talks to it. It does not really care. It has a current BT chip inside to communicate with a BT device - and so does your tablet. The software is going to be crucial as much as the quality of the GPS unit.... point is there is no "android compatible" BT GPS unit per se. These units are made to work with phones, laptops, tablets and more. It is brand dumb.

Every unit talked about here so far should 100% work. IF they do not, it is likely (1) a GPS quality issue - hence a $14 BT GPS keychain versus a $50-100 model or (2) the tablet software you pick to connect the 2 to talk.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
If I could post a link I'd send you to the GPS over BT thread in the Android Forums. I'm still a few post shy of linking externally here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Thanks.. getting it done is not so much of an issue - tons of places on the web explain it. The software exists in the market as well. Really, it is first about picking the desired BT GPS unit of choice - I think that is the goal here first.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
I know theres tons of apps for it, but its not as universal as it all sounds.

My receiver is proof of that unfortunately.

I think ill order the keychain one just for laughs,

we might get pleasantly surprised. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I say go for it. Try it and see. Not a real huge loss if not. If not, sell it on craigslist and get your money back.

BUT, your not entirely correct. You self admit "I have a really old one (+7yrs)" - do you (1) realize how old that is in tech and (2) I bet that thing uses way old BT technology as just 1 possible reason why (not to mention GPS standards). Point is, my comment above is most certainly related to current & modern technology so needs that obvious context - not a piece from 2005
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TalynOne:
I've used this keychain GPS (smaller in person) for years across many devices:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/26076195808...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_500wt_1413

GPS ALTERNATIVE solution for PRIME

Here is just one of the possibilities for a working ALTERNATIVE solution for the poor GPS function in the PRIME. There have been several posts referencing a bluetooth solution that I read and put all of the pieces together for me. I can not take the credit for finding the answer.

YES I have a working Bluetooth GPS receiver that is providing GPS navigation with my PRIME. Several weeks before my PRIME arrived I took a chance and purchased the Qstarz BT-Q818 expecting that the PRIME would have fair to poor coverage inside my SUV where I wanted to mount it. Of course I did not realize that my PRIME would have NO GPS coverage.:mad: I wasn't sure how to make it work when I purchased the receiver.

The secret to making the standard GPS navigation software work with an external Bluetooth GPS device is the driver/service that is supplying the navigation software with the GPS data making it think that it is coming from the internal GPS receiver. That secret software is Bluetooth GPS Provider or Bluetooth GPS. :D These are the two drivers/services that I have had success with establishing a Bluetooth GPS connection. I am sure there are other ones in my accessory guide that also work.

I have had success using Google MAPS and the turn by turn software that is a FREE TRIAL for me until 1/9/12 is Sygic: GPS Navigation.

Another advantage of having an external GPS receiver is putting it in the window at home and moving to my easy chair and still having great coverage on the PRIME to play with different software. ;)

Here is the software and hardware that I am currently using:

Qstarz BT-Q818 66-Channel Bluetooth GPS Receiver - $69

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spfraggle:
As with any device that has a stylus, after regular use, the fit if the stylus in the stylus bay starts to get loose. On some HTC devices they magnetised the stylus so it couldn't fall out. My S-Pen doesn't feel quite as sung as it used to so does anyone have any suggestions to stop it getting any more loose. I don't want to lose it and have to but a new one.

Many thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spfraggle:
Suggestions anyone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedje:
I just bought a spare one with the official holder.

much nicer to use, and this way i leave the original

one where it is...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rerp:
Out of curiosity, when this happens, we're entirely sure that it's the stylus getting thinner and not the hole getting bigger, right? :D Because I'm sort of getting the same thing for my S Pen and I got a bit scared upon reading this. I don't mind having to buy a different or alternative or replacement stylus in the future, but if the hole for the S Pen gets worn out, it's a different story. :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spfraggle:
I've ordered a replacement S-Pen with the adaptor. When that turns up I'll post and let you know if that feels any different in the S-Pen slot. Ideally though as per previous reply on here, I'd want to use the replacement with the adaptor all the time so as not to need removing the stock stylus as often.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Using black vinyl electrical tape, wrap about one or two winds around the top of the s-pen. Restores a nice snug fit again. Problem solved! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rerp:
What does the adaptor look like? I think I want to get one of those too, for the same reasons as you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spfraggle:
The S-Pen adapter arrived today. Very nice indeed. Had a but of weight to it so feels nice and solidand well made. Much easier using the Burton on the side of the pen as it's larger and more prominent.

I did test the replacement pen that came with the adapter and it feels just as loose in the slot. Thankfully it's still snug enough so the pen will not fall out but it's noticeably less snug than when i first got the Note.

I highly recommend the adapter for anyone who uses the s-pen on a regular basis.

I also have the SZLF silver metal bumper which is also a very nice addition. Reduces the signal at times but it's not too bad.

Next accessory to buy, the Mugen extended battery.....

S-Pen holder kit

I also have the S-Pen holder kit. I am impressed in that I have now found the screen to be significantly more accurate and more responsive. It's a joy to use the pen as a stylus. Not too bad looking, either. It really feels like a hipstery-thing-to-take-notes-with. More so, I don't have to take out the stylus each time.

All in all, I see it as a very good investment and Amazon.de has it at a very nice price. In my opinion, a highly recommended accessory. ;)
