[HTC Desire S] neonum6:
guys I have installed this rom and I'm happy with it. I just have two questions:

- the GPS is not working in my case, is there some fix? Is it a known bug?

- There is no Gmaps application...how can I install it?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] StormShadowBK:
1. have you tried the AGPS Patch? -> here

2. Through PlayStore? If this doesn´t work, search for the *.apk but make sure it´s a trustworthy source!
[HTC Desire S] neonum6:
Thanks. For gmaps it worked, I didn't know that it was available there.

As for the GPS...I installed it, but with no luck...any suggestion?

Hello, I am searching for a smooth photo browser for my Xoom. All I tried were laggy, or not HD, even the stock photo browser is laggy.

Can anyone help me to find a smooth HD photo browser ?

Thanks !
[Xoom Themes and Apps] xax41:
QuickPic from Market. Free and Best.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dizzy33:
Quickpic is nice but very very laggy... Not smooth at all.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] dizzy33:
If anyone else know a very smooth photo browser I would be glad to know ...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] alpine101:
Quickpic is very good on my Xoom, no lag, smooth transitions. You must have something taking CPU in the background. Unless of course you have 24Mpixel pics or similiar, in which case any Arm device will struggle.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dadoc04:
Another +1 for quickpic
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dizzy33:
No, I have nothing running in background. Even no Widgets, or no animated background. I want my Xoom (running Honeycomb 3.2) to be as smooth as possible, so I'm very concerned by the background apps.

Quickpic is a nice app, but when I pinch to zoom, or when I let slide my photos, it's a bit laggy, not smooth. I don't understand why it would be smooth on your Xooms.

Would ICS let quickpic run smoother than on honeycomb ?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ruvort:
I have to say ICS is MUCH smoother in my opinion. Especially the EOS custom ICS rom. It is very snappy and responsive.

with photo slide, you can only choose it when docked, if you are rooted?

no u don't need to be rooted to dock just start app u can also use app Tasker and have it go through lock screen force start on dock I just recommend the ics root for stability and performance and custom options the nightlys are pretty much stable for all stuff

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kingston951:
what do you mean set up ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NeoandGeo:
Bad idea. Most of the apps you close will reopen themselves causing lag spikes while gaming.

Make sure you don't have any app that autoupdates at different intervals, keep widgets to a minimum, have a Class 4 or 6 Micro SD card and make sure whatever keyboard you use isn't a resource hog. I can't play any games without massive lag when I have Swiftkey keyboard on my phone for instance.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kingston951:
how i can chek what is my MicroSD class ?

and what is resource hog ?

i use smart keyboard.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NeoandGeo:
You can look on the SD Card and it should have the class # with a circle around it.

There's an app on the market that checks what is using the CPU, can't think of the name though, I used it to monitor what is using CPU, and when I slid the gamepad out and tapped buttons Swiftkey would jump between 1-5% CPU usage.

[Hardware Hacking General] nugget1993:
USB can't provide 2A of current you'll have to buy a new charger
[Hardware Hacking General] Epic_VS:
that shouldn't matter. It would still charge, just much slower. Just cut open the charging wire and a USB wire. Find which wire is positive and negative on your charging wire. connect the red usb wire to the positive wire in the charging cable. Connect the black wire to the negative wire. Insulate. It should charge.

Note- if you switch the wires, you can permanently screw up your tablet.
[Hardware Hacking General] Bentenrai:
This. Just be extra sure not to cross up your wires, I did this once with a USB hub and fried the board. It literally left melted plastic on my desk.
[Hardware Hacking General] AdamOutler:
It's a 3.7v battery which means it can charge at 5V. Looks dooable with a .5A Regulator and a 1ohm resistor... I'd try this and if it fails, then you've tried and failed :)
[Hardware Hacking General] giritrobbins:
So it is a 3.7 but the problem is that is a raw battery pack as in no protection, no regulation, no charging circuit. If you want to sit there and babysit you could attempt to put 5.0V on the power lines and that might work. I would say it is dangerous to do so.
[Hardware Hacking General] IamModeste:
No risk of fire/explosion ? What would be the best way to insulate ? heat Shrink tube + tape ?

I planned using a ACDC inwall 110 to USB 5v 1A out adapter, would it be risky ?

Will I have to babysit it to prevent a fire ???:(

Errrr...

.5A Regulator and a 1ohm resistor.. Maybe with a graph and picture I could figure how to do it ... I don't know anything about electronic/tension ohm's law.. I don't want the battery to explode and rip my head apart. :D
[Hardware Hacking General] showlyshah:
No matter, go for it, it will be OK, all li-ion batt used in mobile device have a small protection circuit in it(unless specified) ur batt too have it, use heat shrink tube, a 100-300ma USB current can't make it explode.
[Hardware Hacking General] m!kelcz:
moto xoom...

Hmm....is this possible to do? If so I would like to try it on my Xoom, the little pin charger is annoying I bent the hell out of it. Micro USB would be stronger . All pros no cons.
[Hardware Hacking General] onlymojo:
For the most part putting 5V on a 3.7V load is not overly dangerous. In order for you to charge a battery, the voltage being applied to the battery has to be greater than the potential storage of the battery. In this case, greater than 3.7V. My blackberry charger is 5V regulated output.

We use 3A power supplies all the time to charge 12V batteries. The voltage we set it to is 14V. These power supplies aren't smart. They just dump current. The higher the voltage pf the battery gets, the lower the current gets as it starts to resist the current that is coming into it. Even your cars alternator puts out 14V and yet the car battery is 12V. For the most part, the actual voltage of batteries is 10%-15% higher than what it is rated at as well. So your 3.7V battery is more like 4.05V - 4.20V when it has a full charge.
[Hardware Hacking General] showlyshah:
But, this is not going to give much big problems. As the current is only 10-20% of the original batt amp, so it will be ok, but for high current ratings the voltage must not be more than 1-1.5 v higher than the batt voltage.

More over the ditachable batt of most phones /pda have inbuilt i-v regulator inside the batt. It will prevent overcharging and deep discharging on most cases.
[Hardware Hacking General] IamModeste:
WOW thanks a lot for the informations, if my RMA doesn't go as I want I'll probably settle to try this and keep this post updated.

and please refer to the screen capture of my about phone so you can see the kernel version etc... and also including the screen capture of the setting of SetCpu as well so anyone knows what I am not doing right in settings of SetCpu...

Every single time I set the clock to the max which is 1704 Mhz, m my phone freezes and had to reboot again !!.

Please carefully look at the screen captures and advice me what to do with these setting in SetCpu...

Thank you very much in advance !!:)

[LG Optimus 2x] BitStartsmart:
My two months old LG Optimus 2X are using alot of battery and it's always warm. I checked the temperature of the phone it's around 37 to 38 C degrees all the time. I have to charge it three times every day since Thursday. Normally I charge it every night when I go to sleep. I don't know what can be the problem?
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
Check if you have any open services (apps) running and try to close them. Also have you rooted your phone? If so try to remove the LG bloatware, because this will also eat your battery. What you also could do is to match your baseband with a matching RIL with the GetRIL app. This will improve signal and battery life.

Also, look in this thread for more tips:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ionsof:
Hi everyone!

I have had horrible audio through the 3.5mm jack. The audio sounds distorted and you cannot hear the words, just muffle. The bass on the other hand is overpowering. It sounds like the headphone jack is not plugged in all the way but it is. This happens with everything including youtube, movies, music, and even games. It's definitely not the headphones as both pair of headphones have the same problem and sounds just fine on my Evo 4g and pc. I have tried low audio hack, voodoo support, flashing new kernel and new rom, and wiping phone completely. Has anyone else had this problem? Anybody know of a fix? I love this phone except for this. If I can't get it figured I will have to sell it.

Thanks, Forrest.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
Maybe your phone needs repair? I being a audiophile owning Several Sennheiser headphones know the E4GT audio isn't all that... but it isn't as bad as your stating. goto sprint store plug ur headphones into there display version of the E4GT and see if it still persist. If it does, get some new canns.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ionsof:
went to the sprint store and tried my headphones. Sounded great. Went to best buy and tried a pair of beats and the sound is distorted. I guess my headphone jack is messed up. I hope the manufacturers warranty covers this.

How did this turn out? I have recently been using my E4GT for podscat daily via bluetooth and a pair of Sennheiser HD205 Headphones using Pocket Casts and only recently has it started it was sounding great prior to this week. Very scratchy and seems like it does not have enough power to drive the drivers? The Bluetooth Headphones seem to sound fine.

I also plug the Headphone jack to my Home Theater and wonder if this damaged anything?

I have not done a complete factory reset yet as this will be my last result. It is a stock E4GT rom and not rooted.

Not sure how long the warranty is on these phones?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Even if there wasnt a problem with your phone it would still sound distorted through a pair of Beats.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmorrismm:
I agree Beats would not be a good test for the headphones. Way bass heavy and probably distorted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tprince1225:
IF you have TEP you can go into a repair center and they could just replace the headphone jack, and it doesnt matter if you rooted cause sprint has no poicly against it. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmorrismm:
Thanks I did call Sprint support and she suggested the same thing. The phone is still under warranty and she said they can look at the jack and if they are unable to repair they will get me another phone. I was hoping it was something Software related but I just did a hard reset and same problem. I use my headphone everyday for Podcast other wise I would not worry about it to much.

Thanks for the reply,

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
Since when is there no policy against it? I've always heard some of both, and even that certain techs won't work on it if it is rooted. I feel like it's always better to take it in stock, but that may just be my paranoia, who knows.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmorrismm:
OK, as requested to take my phone to the store I did as told today after work. I am a Sprint shareholder and a strong supporter of Sprint. I like the company and am usually tolerant to issues related to coverage and technical limitations due to frequency limitations like Wimax, etc.

Well I have to admit I am a little ticked off. I went to the store and waited 15-20 min for service to be told I do not have TEP. The customer service person I spoke to yesterday knew this. So I was told I had two options.

1. 37.50 for them to repair it. I asked what you don't do any warranty replacement or work and he said no. My question is if this is the case it may revoke my warranty anyway? By paying with American Epxress for the purchase I have double warranty coverage. So that extends it to two years.

2. Call Samsung and have them repair or replace under warranty. Actually this is what the customer service lady told me the store would do. The clerk was very short and not helpful. Not rude but not very friendly or helpful either.

So now I will contact Samsung and see what the deal is there. If they tell me that Sprint working on it won't void the warranty then maybe I will have the store do it. Unless Samsung would send me another one and let me send mine into them. I will let them put a hold for the cost until they receive mine.

Thanks,
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmorrismm:
I called Samsung and that was an experience within itself.

I spent like 30 minutes on a chat session with tech support. I explained everything and the tech probably in India was going through a script. I explained early on I tried 4 different sets of headphones and did a Hard reset to eliminate and software conflicts. I figured a smart person would know that I went through all the typical measures. I did not even think of it but I may have been conversing with a Bot?

About 20 min into it the tech asked me if I took the battery out and reset the phone. LOL. Obviously reading from a script. He insisted that I take the phone to the store and try a pair of Samsung Headphones. After insisting over and over I finally went and got my Samsung earbuds and it was doing the same thing, finally he gives me another number to call for galaxy support. What a waste of time. After speaking to Galaxy Helpdesk I was well on my way to a RMA and shipping label.

So I shipped it back to Samsung today. Trying to activate a regular feature phone now so I will have a phone meanwhile.

Nothing like 15 or so years ago. I rememebr at that time I was with AT&T and if I had phone problems the next morning I had another phone at my door. I guess things have changed so much and the carriers let the OEM's deal with it of course unless you boot for the TEP fees? By paying for my original purchase with American Express they double the OEM warranty so I would assume that means I have two years now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abhaxus:
If you don't have TEP, you have to pay a convenience fee to have it repaired or replaced at the store. Don't blame Sprint that you chose to not have TEP. Basically, it's Sprint (or any carrier's) way of keeping plan prices low. By forcing customers to either pay Sprint for convenience (8 a month, or minimum 35 for a service visit) they get to keep the plan price. As a rep, I feel like TEP shouldn't be optional. If you had to sit there and listen to people complain all day that they have to pay for a repair (when they opted out of TEP), you would agree with me.

As for rooting, M&P says that we have to work on the device, or exchange it, even if it is rooted. Since customers don't know that, most techs won't both with it. If the customer screwed up their phone by rooting it, the metrics hit the store takes from doing the exchange isn't fair to the store personnel. If a customer is kind and polite, it's probably a different story for most stores :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmorrismm:
Yes I agree, I have been thinking of this the last couple days.

I understand the mess it would make if they had to handle all the warrantys for the OEM's. Unless they could turn it into a profit center by being paid by the PEM's to handle the repairs and warranty like a car dealship does. I think the OEM's are not interested?

My biggest conceren was the lady over the phone in customer service that told me your phone is still in warranty just take it to one of the repair sotres and they will take care of you by either repairing or replacing the phone. This built up a expectation of superior customer service only to be told at the store that we do no deal with OEM warranty but I can fix it for you for 37.50. Again I am a strong supporter of Sprint a long term stock holder. So I don't let these things get to me but I do observer what a typical customer would feel and I can tell you they would have walked out and went straight to AT&T or Verizon. Granted they would deal with the same issues there if not worse.

The rest of my experience has been short of exceptional with them assisting me to configure another phone to use in the short term. One of the phones would not go into program mode and they assisted me very professionaly and friendly.

My only snag is the builtup expectation only to be told something totally different.

My other concern is if they are not a certified warraty repair even though I pay the 37.50 for the repair. I would think this would void the OEM warranty if they opened it and saw repairs made?

Thanks,

;)

I am having the same problem BUT it's not the jack!! I can connect my phone to my car aux and it's fine.. Only sucks when using the headset. It also is like a EQ is turned on and it's blocking the mid range (only with the headset!!!!). Seems like software not hardware. Did you notice the same thing? Did you get this fixed?

Any update.. I have the same issue BUT...

All,

I am now having the same issue BUT I can confirm that IF I connect to my car AUX or some other amp it works fine!!! It's only a problem when I connect to headsets!! Not only that it seems to be like their is an EQ effect causing the mid range and voice freq. to be cut off (I can listen to music and all is normal but the singers voice is gone (nulled out). Again this ONLY happens with headsets not an amp or AUX.. Very odd and must be something software NOT hardward like the connector etc. BTW that's with either 3 or 4 contact headsets!

HELP!
