i don't know how to change the gps.conf, but i would like to try upg maps to lates version first than trying other methods, do you know how can i do that?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swazii:
Thanks man the GPS.config file fixed my GPS problem
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] major fecker:
GPS probs

Attached a copy of Google maps 6.10. And GPS status which should help with fix speed.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrooney10:
i installed google maps and gpsstatus, but still innacuratte... :S
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truc007:
Sorry.. to change gps.conf, just use rootexplorer (or equivalent) and replace the one you have in /system/etc/ (copy paste).

To upgrade maps is more tricky. On some ROM I can't... that's why I replace it before flashing (open the zip with 7zip and replace maps.apk in /system/apps/ with the one you want).

As I get use to it, I always replace these two files in a zip before flashing a rom (+delete apks I don't want, remove all ringtones and notif sounds...). It's easier to tune the zip than doing one by one on the phone.

i have the same problems with the RCMix3d Runny v4.0 i also used the patch of iBotPeaches but it dosen't work. i check the build.prop file and thereisn't anything about the gps, it's normal?

this is my build.prop file, it's normal? i need to write something?

Did you modify the conf in any way with your country and continent or did you leave it the way it was?
[Thunderbolt General] lawnguy:
Was getting great dl speeds but now no matter what radio, rom, or stock non rooted my speeds are low? Any help or ideas?
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
Wait till the start of the next billing cycle and see if you get good speeds. If so, then you have your answer.

[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
It's not likely the throttling is done at the phone, so it would make no difference if you're 100% stock or running a rooted, 3rd party ROM. They'll throttle you on the network side.
[Thunderbolt General] tcberg2010:
What he said.
[Thunderbolt General] Vince556:
So when the Verizon rep told me they do not throttle 4G devices he was lying?

Not trying to start anything. I just want to find out if what he told me was true or not.
[Thunderbolt General] lawnguy:
Umm, average Verizon Rep=not well informed. Also, salesman.....

Not to insult a store Guy but, my instore experience so far is not great at all. They may be better elsewhere but, I'm disappointed so far and they are like a brick wall.
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
I didn't say they do or do not throttle anything. I said if they do, they're not going to do it at the phone.
[Thunderbolt General] mike.s:
I suspect he said they don't throttle 4G connections. They may throttle a 4G device, when it's using the 3G network. You didn't give any details on when you think you were being throttled.

VZW should not be throttling any 4G connections, on bandwidth usage alone, per 47cfr27.16(c)(1):

But, if you've been tethering, or using bandwidth to the detriment of other users, they can.
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
VZW has already disputed the validity or applicability of that. No need to bring it up here if VZW doesn't care about it....
[Thunderbolt General] Vince556:
What I was told by a Verizon rep was 4G phones were exempt from throttle or network enhancements as they call it even if the 4G phone is using 3G service.

I do tether on occasion but most of my data usage is from downloading roms on my phone and watching netflix again on the phone.

I do like the thunderbolt a lot but it was the exemption that made me upgrade. My data speeds were horrible on the incredible. YouTube and netflix would buffer and sometimes not even load because of the slow speeds. HBOgo would not even work because of that.
[Thunderbolt General] Vince556:
Gotcha. As I explained in my last post I was told by the Verizon rep I would not have a problem if I upgraded to a 4G phone.

I just wanted to find out if the rep knew what he was talking about or if it was a lie to sell me a new phone and sign another 2 year contract.
[Thunderbolt General] DNak206:
Yes they can throttle.

No you can't do anything about it.
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
Have you checked with Verizon to see if there is network issues?

Check another phone if you can... Maybe sim or phone is bad.... Just some suggestions
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
In my experience, the commonly used Speedtest app reports poor speeds. It also defaults to the closest test site which isn't always the best. I'm in SW Ohio and used a site in California and gotten 25+ Mb/s. TRY OTHER SITES, especially in larger cities.

Also, try http://speakeasy.net/speedtest using same rationale as above.

Remember, if you get 30Mb/s on one test and sub-10Mb/s on all others, you're *not* throttled.

[Thunderbolt General] rexorz:
I thought I was getting throttled, but it was just my bad connection. I get 25 down and 4 up through speakeasy.net
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
When I re-read that I figure some conspiracy theorists will say that VZW throttles people off and on ! :D
[Thunderbolt General] mike.s:
You don't know what you're talking about.
[Thunderbolt General] Lyondellic:
Do you have files in a folder named 'throttle' at the following: data/system/throttle

If so, try deleting the files and remove the 'write' permission from the throttle folder. Reboot your phone, wait a few minutes and then make sure that no files were recreated in the 'throttle' folder. This helped me, but the results seem to vary from phone to phone.

You may want to try disabling Smithmicro and Verizon Backup, as there should be no need for either on a custom rom in my opinion.

I use the Liquid Nonsense rom, did a lot of research and tweaked my 'build.prop' file. While doing so, I found that the buffer sizes for LTE, Wifi, etc. are also listed in a file named 'init.rc' as well. By making sure that the buffer sizes listed in 'build.prop' matched the ones listed in 'init.rc' I have almost doubled my download and upload speeds.

I am not going to debate the pros/cons of these changes with folks, but for those willing to take the risk you may boost your connection speeds as well.
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
With such an intelligent and convincing response like that, should anyone believe *you* ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NguyenAdam:
I can't find out for the life of my to change it to my custom ringtone. I dragged the MP3 to my phone via Kies and I can play the file, but I have no idea how to change it. The only phone I have experience with is the BlackBerry and its very simple. Could someone help? Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
If you have root, you could try copying the ringtone to /system/media/audio/ringtones/

or easier way................

Create a folder on your sdcard (internal) called Ringtones (with s)

Place mp3 inside folder

Go to phone settings/sounds/Phone Ringtone.............

Edit: Forgot to mention 2nd method won't work if sdcard is unmounted from phone (ie. mass storage mode with PC)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
/sdcard/ringtones

For ringtones (they will then be setable like normal)

/sdcard/alarms

For alarms

/sdcard/media/audio/notifications

For notifications
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Already answered post above yours.......
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumitpathak:
Erm..why to go that far?

1) Just open the Song from File Explorer or anything.

2) In media player press Menu button, there you will have option "Set As" :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Something so simple :)

Edit: But still, the advantage of putting in system/media/audio/ringtone is that you can unmount the sdcard (internal or external) from phone and your ringtone will still work!

Don't forget to reboot and then or will show up on the list.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparksltd:
I'm not sure of all the complicated solutions here. But can't you just use a ring tone maker from market? I use "ringtone maker pro free".
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothyshrimp:
Go to settings and change it under the sounds menu

The best way I change my ringtone is I go into settings sound then choose your phone ringtone or notification tones

If you want to add the songs to your phone and don't have a sd card then install Kies on your computer and plug in the usb cable and it will come up as another device click on that and drag the files into the sounds folder.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goyagoyago:
I'd say downloading a ringtone app is the sure-fire solution. Just search "ringtones" in the market app and you'll find a number of apps. Then you can either edit your songs into ringtones or just use the readymade ringtones. GL
[HTC Desire S] yeawhatever:
Never really managed to get GPS to work on my handset. Tried updating my agps data but still had no luck.

Figured it was from issue (was running runymeed) but have just put on virtuous beta 6 and tested it.

I get steady GPS icon (ie not flashing) and used GPS test app which reported 3 satellites.

Wondered if its issue with handset or navigation. How may lock on's does it need to determine location?

Also wondered if its its radio issue. Can anyone suggest decent one to work in UK (provider is vodaphone)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Works fine on mine. I'm with TalkMobile, which uses Vodafone's network.

I have used Sygic, but now just use Google Maps for my navigation needs.

Baseband: 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M

Run FasterFix and set your GPS to UK pool.

Other than that make sure that you reboot the phone with GPS enabled (sometimes it has problems if you don't).
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
You've got an app "Faster Fix" which you can found in the Market.

This app speed up your gps, and get faster GPS-Fixes using FasterFix.

It's a good help, but you must be root.

Try this ;)

[General Questions and Answers] mchstream:
Howdy,

I have installed Android Revolution HD 6.0.2 XE exactly as requested and it works okay. But in his thread ( i am not yet allowed to post normally yet, jez ) say there will be the chance to "You will be asked during the installation process if your device is HTC Sensation 4G" and "Added possibility to choose Sony Bravia Engine support while flashing process" and "Added warning for Sensation XE users not to flash 1.5 GHz kernel - they have 1.5 GHz by default!", but on mine there were no questions and no choices. When I check the cpu speed it is at 1.2ghz. What did I do wrong? Again the installation went fine but there no choices.

Congratulations

First of all, congratulations on getting your new phone. I can only say that this phone is still one of the best out there, especially for the developments made for this phone (credits to the developers). For me, it was my 1st android phone. So, I had a pretty long time searching for what I can do to this phone to bring out it's inner capabilites. One of them, is to root your phone and install ROMs inside. Since I love to customize my phone, I feel that rooting is essential for me and went ahead to root my phone. If you are considering about rooting your phone, do take note that the warranty will most probably be void
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:

Instead of creating threads that we bought this device we just spam the CyanogenMod 9 thread and annoy the developers.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] j_r17ca:
hello guys...

just wondering if anyone of you tried google voice app on our tablet? i installed it but no luck on how to run it. i signed in my google account. but theres no way to find the dialer.

need some help thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] RangerJay:
Add GrooVe IP and you can have it dial with Google Voice.

Phone calls sometimes have an echo on the A100 unless you use a headset. But you still have to speak into the tablet's microphone as the headset input is "out" only.

I tested it out and it works, but it's pretty inconvenient to use a 7" tablet as a phone. (Unless you're using video Skype.)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] j_r17ca:
thanks. ill try it out.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] andreagragnato:
sorry but... what Google Voice does exactly? Is like another VoipCalls program?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dms76:
What about bluetooth, is it audio playback only? I haven't tried yet as i don't have a need for it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dms76:
I tried thd grooveip i love it thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] qhinton:
bluetooth is audio only. headset worth built in mic should work. Google voice is for texting and voicemail. I have sprint so I can port my number to google voice for free which allows me to recieve all voicemail and texts on tablet. in combination with grooveip I can recieve and place calls. so an incoming cal rings on tab and phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolmaster121:
So the official GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus (http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html)

is supposed to have xxkk6 radio (radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img)

I read in another place that the Asian varian has a different radio, and the canadian varians also have different radios. So being that the GSM Galaxy Nexus is not officially in the US on ATT or T-Mobile I was wondering wich radio is best to use on the T-Mobile network?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tubes6al4v:
North American code is UG, I think UGKL01 is the newest released radio.

I am using ugkk7. Look in dev section to see if there are any updates.

i'm currently on UGKL1, live in denver colorado (where t-mobile has 4G coverage) and i dont get any type of HSPA+ speeds, on a good day my down is only 5891kbps and my up is a mere 1243kbps (same speeds as my Nexus S).

maybe US radios are optimized for CDMA networks, i'll switch to XXKK1 later and see if it helps - anyone actually get 4G speeds yet? if so, which radio are you on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinan:
Probably best to use a UG based radio if you're in NA. I'm on UGKL1 and it's fine. I accidentally flashed an XX radio before and data would cut out a lot...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
XXKK6 was the best for me in Chicago and now in Dayton, OH
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
If your tower doesn't have any more capacity available, it doesnt matter what *you* do. There's only 21mbps (or 42, depending on where you live) per tower sector to go around to every user in your sector. If it's 21mbps, all you need is 3 other active people on your tower to get those speeds (factor in radio link loss too).

Long story short, not a single thing you can do to control your speeds. And judging a radio's "ability" based upon speed test results is extremely inaccurate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
And the nexus only reaches 21mbps on T-Mobile anyways so there's that. The north American radios are optimized for Canada.

If you get it on the Sensation theres no reason why you wouldn't get it on the Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solarus2011:
I was using the KK6 radio that came with my phone (assuming it was a UK one since it had a UK style plug in the box) but within 2 days of getting the phone I had dropped signal errors where only a reboot would fix it. I moved to UGKK7 and haven't had any issues since. Pretty sure my speed is slower though (haven't testing yet) so if you have no issues with KK6 keep it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phi303:
i've been on KK6 for about two weeks now, speeds never go above 5.5down - i guess i dont have very good HSPA+ coverage north of denver. i also have to turn on and off airplane mode once a day to fix connection issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
I'm using XXKL1. I get speeds near 5-7 Mbps. Sometimes 9-10 if I get lucky.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] polarizeme:
I'm also in Chicago on the xxkk6 radio and I never seem to be able to get above 3-5mb down and .5-1mb up. I've also noticed that it shows "3g" as the connection status most of the time, save for when it momentarily shows an H at times.

Anyone have a clear answer on what is displayed when you attain an HSPA+ connection w/ this phone? I find it weird that with the dense 4G coverage in Chicago, I can't seem to get any better speeds than what I get w/ my N1.

Cheers, dudes.
