I have only seen problems with my GPS using google maps but if i use telenav or just Nav which also came on my phone its comes up w/i 5-10 seconds. Signal is good but not bad, i had the EVO 3d which was horrible, moto photon was excellent but i would put this signal right in the middle of them at "OK". I havent dropped very many calls but i do travel in rural areas so i cant down grade the signal for dead spots from Sprint
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mizex:
I have never really experienced GPS issues... I have only had one time where it took it about a minute to lock and route address.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezar:
I'd say bite the bullet and go for it. Seems like many who don't get good GPS trade their phones in for another and then they get good GPS. Seems like a quality control issue with samsung and GPS. You could always trade yours in if it's no good.

For me, my GPS locks take a while, unless I use GPS Status first, which locks consistently in < 10 sec.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lattisimo:
If you decide to take the plunge and your ET4G has crap GPS, have them exchange it. I have a YouTube video that shows my first copy (which was aweful) and my second copy that to this day is fantastic.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mybikegoes200:
I appreciate all the input. Maybe I've been spoiled by the GPS quality on the OG Evo - which pretty much never takes longer than 10 seconds to lock. I don't have to do any silly reboots or gps status or clearing this or that... I turn on GPS, click the link for CoPilot - and by the time CoPilot loads gps has a lock. I've talked to enough people both online and locally to have the heebie jeebies about the E4GT.

Soooo... Right or wrong, what I decided to do is buy an Evo 3D on Craigslist to try that and hopefully either wait for a consistently good report on E4GT or a different phone with a more reliable GPS. That way I can still upgrade via contract if and when that time comes.

Again I thank you all for your input -
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtr145r:
I never had a problem with gps on the et4g. It works perfect. When I saw buddy got gps working on cm7 I couldn't believe it bc it never worked for me when I had the evo...

I believe this device had better gps quality..

The Sensation 4G has a max download speed of 14.4 Mbps and a max upload of 5.76 Mbps. I've hit just under 10 Mbps download in the Orlando, FL area.
[HTC Sensation] ddizzy81:
ur exactly right..lol..well let me edit lol
[HTC Sensation] Wanderer_Zero:
9/10 down is the max I normally get. Compared to Verizon lte (28 down) it feels like it's the tortoise vs the hare. Then again, I don't want to pay $120+ for 10 gigs (streaming videos/music and downloading apps makes the 4g speeds go away :'c )
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
mine is not too bad. this is my average speed.

there are time it hits 10megs + but those are rarer.

definitely not LTE speeds but fast enough to do whatever.

it's as fast as most home networks, to put into perspective.
[HTC Sensation] dcmtnbkr:
I came from sprint 3g, which in my area is about the same as tmobile's edge speeds. Im more than happy with the 4-8 down that i get on a regular basis. What am i going to be doing on my phone that needs anything faster? Youtube HD runs smooth, netflix runs fine, apps download in seconds, and my bill is half the price of verizon.

Does this match you guys' experience as you report those speeds over 8 mbps?
[HTC Sensation] Android_Guy:
Wow you guys are lucky...

I'm running ARHD 6.0.3 and have been averaging 350-600K depending on what time of day. Cracked 1000K last night, but that was the 1st time that happened.

In the south-eastern Michigan area...Sprint is particularly terrible here...no 4g...so my friends Evo gets <200k, which is truly pathetic.

Noticed when I was running GB Roms and toggled ciphering, results were better, but cant do that with ICS Roms...(correct me if I'm wrong):confused:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] taing:
There are at least three places where the stock browser fails in nearly unimaginable ways:

1) the back and forward buttons should never ever under any circumstances cause any network activity. That is the point of a cache.

2) more importantly switching from another app back to the browser should return me to the current page without any possibility of network activity. If there is no current page about:blank is the proper response.

3) where the heck is view source? !?!?

Any suggestions for a replacement that might get it right.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] GB.Says:
Don't know about the View Source aspect, but might consider the Dolphin HD browser.

And remember, talking dogs always lie.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] orb360:
Doesn't view source mean view the HTML/XML for the current page?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] GB.Says:
Yes, that is correct. View source is to see the underlying code of rendered web page. For bowel movements and giggles I checked out the marketplace to see if the Dolphin HD browser had any plug-ins to add this feature. No joy.

[HTC Sensation] Butzacooky:
Hey guys, I just rooted my phone and put in Virtuous's AOSP senseless ics rom. I was doing to same for my brother's, but I mistakenly updated the hboot to 1.23.000 halfway through.

What I did was:

I followed "[Guide] to installing s-off, ..."

Did step 1 and started step 2.

In step 2, instead of using the PG58IMG file for clockwork recovery, I used the PG58IMG file to update the firmware for the ics rom

The problem is that whenever I enter hboot, it checks for the PG58IMG file, and when i try using the one for clockwork recovery, it says "model id incorrect" and prompts me to press power to reboot.

Now, the phone has s-off, but doesn't have root. its hboot version is 1.23.0000.

Is there any way I can downgrade the version to 1.18 or less, or maybe get the clockwork recovery in the updated ics PG58IMG file?

Thanks in advance for the help.
[HTC Sensation] Bluejay913:
I got the same error with the new firmware til I did super cid. Its easier than rooting I think. Sorry no link I'm on my phone. Just google super cid sensation xda and follow the steps in the thread.

Oh n u still have clockwork recovery. Just remove your sd card and put it in your pc. Then take off the PG58img file you installed through your pc. Then u should b able to go to recovery.

Only things I've really heard are that the camera isn't as good as some phones, the GPU isn't the best, and the lack of a microSD slot - but I'm wondering if there's more serious drawbacks/issues like the GPS not working or reception issues.

And let's assume we're talking about phones like the Galaxy S II or RAZR in comparison.

Obviously posting here might be a bit biased, seeing as some here might want to justify their purchase or tout it as better than all others just by being a Nexus phone and whatnot, but I'm hoping I'll get some honest answers here.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Okur90:
What deterred me from a galaxy nexus were the camera and the battery life. The HD resolution is awesome but I'm a heavy user so the battery wouldn't last even one day... got the galaxy s2 and using cm9 alpha. Once it's stable the only difference will be the screen but at the same time I will still have the 8MP camera:)

EDIT: You will also get the choice between AOSP and Touchwiz+ICS when Samsung updates the S2 and CM9 stable is released. Despite being an AOSP fan, I gotta admit the TW UI has also kinda grown on me. :)

Which can do the same?

Hi, I was flashing my LG when the flashing tool stopped at 63% and showed some error, i tried to flash again but it gave me error 502.

I turned off the phone and tried to turn it on again, the screen wont turn up but the PC detects the LG (zune doesn't).

I've tried to put it on emergency download mode with vol- + camera + power but the tool stills says error 502.

Is it recoverable or is it lost?

Update: I was able to recover it! I tried to enter emergency download mode with the battery out but connected to the pc, then i inserted the battery and the LG flashing tool recognized it!

Took 5 minutes to flash it. (I used the vol- + camera + power to enter emergency download mode).

... about two weeks ago and I love it so far, best phone I've ever owned hands down. The only problem I've experienced is the battery... for example after a full charge, I surfed the web non stop on 4g (hspa) for an hour and 30 minutes and my battery is already down to 65%. Is this normal? My brightness wasn't even high, it was slightly less than half... seems kinda weak considering just about everyone says this phone has the best battery life of all high end Androids.

I'm on 2.3.6

My kernel version is 2.6.35.7

My build number is GINGERBREAD.UCKK6

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Hour and a half of screen on time, not to mention data consumption, yeah that's about right. It's all based on how much you use the phone. Here's a screenshot of my battery life:

2.3.6 on the GS2 has known battery life issues. You can Google "2.3.6 battery life issues" to find links that I'm unable to post here. When originally on 2.3.4, I experienced great battery life - on par with my old iPhone 4. When I upgraded to 2.3.6, battery life was significantly reduced whenever I was connected to wifi (battery drained with the screen off as though I was actively browsing on it).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jermneedscoffee:
I concur with what audiotweaker states. You can always go back to a 2.3.4 kernel, easiest way is bundled with a ROM that currently loads that kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Um, kernel has NOTHING to do with it. UCKK6 or UCKH7, they all use a 2.6.35.x kernel. Changing the kernel will do NOTHING to change the drain - it's a problem somewhere in the system image, not the kernel.

I did a simple root without any custom ROM using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1311081

I had auto upgraded to 2.3.6 from 2.3.4. Using the method in that thread will root your phone + downgrade the OS back to stock 2.3.4.

I am having better battery life since then because of

- ability to better optimize the battery after rooting (Titanium bkp, access to Alarms log through BetterBatteryStats, ability to disable auto start of certain tasks using Super Manager, etc)

- OS 2.3.4 instead of 2.3.6

- misc other battery optimization techniques floating around on xda
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Technically, 2.3.6 in general isn't the problem - it's the UCKK6 build specifically.

I don't think the I9100 2.3.6 bases have as many issues - BTHID still broken, but at least it seems like they have less drain issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nifear4:
(This was about the first week when I got the phone before I rooted)

I actually was able to talk to a few people at my local AT&T retail store. A few of my friends actually work there as well. I was talking to them about the battery life and they told me it wasn't actually 2.3.6, it was the build that comes with the phone (factory).

Then I got home, flashed a CFW. Battery now lasts about 2 days with just basic web browsing and texting.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I believe it is in the app as long as you have a kernel that supports it and the AMOLED display. It doesn't appear on the i9023 (SC-LCD) version of the phone, as the colour is generally true-to-life already on it.

I'm using I9023 SCLCD. So I cant get any benefit from voodoo color but only the sound settings?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
That's correct. The SC-LCD already has "true" colours, whites are white, blacks are blacks and so on. Some AMOLEDs have orange or blue tints when looking at white colours, this is what Voodoo colours attempts to fix.
