[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Hello again my friend :)

hope not too much stress !!!!

I can only point you to sources, like the http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/my

Which is for Malaysia, your Country......

The active NTP servers shown there are:

server 2.my.pool.ntp.org
server 1.asia.pool.ntp.org
server 2.asia.pool.ntp.org

I would modify your /etc/gps.conf like this:

NTP_SERVER=my.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER=asia.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

The above is based on the list of active servers presently for your Country and Region:

http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/my

Also this post from the Fasterfix thread on XDA:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16960283&postcount=202

Things can change from time to time, but you should be covered OK.

EDIT:

I have checked with Ping to the my.pool.ntp.org servers, from 0-3, and I can get all of them, they are on-line.....so perhaps just use my.pool.ntp.org...as above.

Also, Ping to asia.pool.ntp.org is good, so use that!!...as above.

Definitely, supl.google.com is good.

Hopefully you will be OK after this....if not, I don't know anything else!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Hey again Irishpancake,

May i know the difference between my current gps.conf :

and your modified gps.conf :

Sorry if i hassle you mate! Thanks again! :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Just that sometimes servers are off line, so using the generic address, without the 0/1/2/3...

will be sufficient to address whichever NTP server is on-line.....

Nothing else really!!

Has it worked??

You should also get Fing, free from market, or some other network tool, to check server availability from time to time.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
I used my current gps.conf and it WORKED! :D Thanks indeed for your help Irishpancake. Appreciate it! :cool:

For now, i just used my current gps.conf and if the gps locking takes longer time i edit it to your modified gps.conf, is that better? :p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
BTW, i have installed Fing from the Market. So, now i just need to switch on GPS and run the app. What should i be aware of then? :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Good to know it is working OK......

I would say leave well enough alone, if your config is working, it is fine.....unless you feel the need to change!!!

Fing is just a network tool, not specifically for GPS, but very useful for doing stuff like Ping, Trace route, checking your local network, router, PC connectivity, DNS lookup, etc. etc

I like it coz I'm an old teckkie, like this was my job before I retired, due to Cancer, which is now OK......I hope.

So when you say, switch on and run the app, not sure which app you mean......

if it is Fing, it will not help with GPS, only useful for diagnosing Network problems....!!!!

You have a nice day, OK
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Alright then! Thanks a lot btw. :cool: So, how does Fing regards with the GPS? I'm blank actually. :eek: I just wanna know MORE about Fing app as i hope it is indeed useful to me. :D Wait...you have cancer?? All i can say is look after yourself buddy. You'll be alright.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Thanks, I'm OK at the moment.......

but you can see why I not get stressed out about anything.....

life is short man....enjoy
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Just live life to the MAX dude. ;)

BTW, do you know Status Via app? :D
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devloomax:
Hello,

I installed MIUI Rom or my Defy+ but now there's a big problem with calling/receiving calls.

When I start the Defy+ I can call without problems. But after some minutes I cannot call anymore nor someone can call me. I then need to restart the phone and it works again for some minutes/calls.

It's not the network that has the problem because I tested it on several other smartphones and they do always work.

Does anyone knows how to fix this?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rubledub:
i would suggest a reflash first. if that doeant fix the problem start from scratch ... get the hd2 toolkit (search for it if you dont already have it handy), task 29, reinstal mag/clk (whatever your preference), cwm, and then hyperdroid.

if that doesnt remedy the problem it would have to be a hw problem in my opinion.

good luck

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
I would get GPS Status from the market , go outside on a clear day , download agps data . and then try to get a fix . If you cant get a fix . Then , sadly to say , you MUST flash back to the Stock Windows Mobile ROM that came with the device as that is the ONLY way to rule out any software problem . If it works with winmo on , then its something with android . if it doesnt work with winmo on , then its a hardware error .

[HTC Rezound] mpalatsi:
I posted this in the nova launcher thread "Can someone please tell me why this launcher doesn't recognize transparency? I just want to use custom icons in the dock without having a black background."

I got responses from multiple people stating that they are able to use transparent icons. I imagine this is only rezound specific. Anyone else having this issue?
[HTC Rezound] mpalatsi:
So no one else has this issue?
[HTC Rezound] jbird951:
I'm bumping this because I'm also curious, the 3 default dock icons are transparent, but I cannot for the life of me get my own to come up transparent. They come up fine in LauncherPro so I know they are transparent.

*edit*

OP, I figured it out, I don't know why exactly, but when I chose browse files instead of browse gallery they come up transparent.
[HTC Rezound] knucklesmckay:
I think this is rezound specific due to screen resolution maybe. On my galaxy tab I can choose from gallery and transparency works fine, but not on my rezound. I will use select file instead.

http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/10/2789100/unidentified-new-htc-lte-phone-android-4-0

Seems to me like a white Rezound, but the specs tend to be more of high end or international release... But even this has ICS :mad: ... and it might possibly be Verizon (likely)
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
They have a picture of the back of a phone and they know that much?

*looks at the back of my rezound* yes this definately looks like a 1.5 GHz LTE global phone with a 720 p screen

Seems to me the bullshitted the specs and used this for attention. Wouldn't believe much, it does have the incredible like battery cover so its possible for that to be the incredible HD

from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
[HTC Rezound] bigsnack:
Not sure how the specs are better than the Rezound, when the leaks say it has a dual core 1.2ghz cpu, which could be slightly lower end vs the dual 1.5ghz the Rezound offers. Plus, it there is no word of a 720p display or what size the display is. As others have said it has ICS, yet 4.0 buttons, and it looks be running a Sense version that maybe a mix of 3.5/3.6 and 4.0 vs the other device leaks, which look a bit different to my eye.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
incredible 3?
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
I think so... Single LED flash and 1.2Ghz processor don't seem to be enough to upgrade from the Rezound... Definitely an upgrade from Inc2 though
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
this does not look better than the rezound spec wise ... sorry
[HTC Rezound] nitsuj17:
assuming rumored specs are true...

id guess this is htc's new "mid-tier" offering...which is fine

if battery life is really good, id consider making this my next phone

Incredible 3 has sense 4.0. I doubt were going to have an offical sense 3.6. Jumping to 4.0 is what HTC might do. This phone is probably the one that were going to dump sense 4.0 off of first for our Rezound. Why couldn't they make the Rezound that thin.
[HTC Rezound] nitsuj17:
just curious to see what the resolution is on the supposed "inc 3"

if its not hd, and its qhd, then porting sense 4 from it is kinda pointless

[HTC Rezound] 06stang:
That's the Inc3 I mentioned in a few of my posts. Around 4" AMOLED, lte, world phone, but no info on size and tech specs are underwhelming. I expected more since the HTC reps were talking it up so much

This one technically isn't anything besides "better"

Except the AMOLED sounds awesome. Miss my Inc1

The device has no Verizon logos or other crap because its a prototype device. When the Rezound first leaked it didn't have any Verizon logos or anything and most of the other HTC devices I've seen leaked recently don't have any carrier logos

I like the 3d looking effects when pressing options, but sense just has too much dang bright white light lol. Every phone i get, i try to black everything out
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
White is the least power hungry color on LCD... Black is the least on OLED. ;)
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Really?? I would have thought white was always more power hungry :eek:
[HTC Rezound] Volkaru:
Nope, because an LCD has to actually force the pixel to display black, it's one of the more power-hungry shades. While white for an LCD is just the neutral light, if I'm remembering correctly.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Thats it...

The pixels are always illuminated due to the backlight, but to show color it activates the pixel and the appropriate sub pixels.

To display black, it must activate (apply power to) light polarizers that block light transmission.

To help display various shades of colors and intensities, in addition to specific subpixel activation, it also uses the polarizer to vary the amount of light transmission.

White uses the least amount of power, other colors, shades and intensities more, and black the most.

Since OLED has no backlight, and the pixels themselves are the light source, black uses no power as the pixel is inactive.

This is also why OLED screens can have trouble with colors looking very different between min. brightness and max brightness.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Ooooooo learned something new :D

I've always preferred darker themes and such. I guess that's why i never saw difference in battery life like I thought I would. Cuz I thought all screens didn't use the pixel if it was black, hehe
[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
Lol me too, but they do make sense, but i still like all,my apps n everything black, but i see y sense is always white now

Hey guys,

The topic of this thread has change slightly since I started it. Please disregard the first few posts after this one.

The problem is that when I install a new ROM, it works perfectly for an hour or perhaps even the day, and then I start getting random shutdowns. These seem to start out of the blue and I cant work it out.

When installing a new ROM, I always check the MD5 and perform a superwipe before starting to use the ROM. Ill put back a few apps using titanium backup pro.

I don't use any hacked apps or task killers.

I have searched but cant find anything useful.

Currently using Insertcoin Sense 4 RC5. Firmware 3.32.

I have tried three different kernals (Bricked, Sebastian and RCMix), all with the same problem.

Update:

tjamaican has kindly sent me a fix he found of the forums, its for a battery fix that worked for me on insertcoin's ICS Sense 4 RC4.1 ROM. However I have just moved to RC5 and the problem is back even with the fix.

http://www.mediafire.com/?2a8837bcatym1ju

I am going to try and set a lower CPU level, already down to 1.2 Ghz with max screen off at ~500Mhz. Seems stable for now, been running 24hrs - no restarts.

This is interesting because I had a GB Rom running at 1.5Ghz with no problems, maybe its something to do with ICS.

Any ideas?

[SOLVED]

Sent the phone off to htc and they have replaced the motherboard. Its all fine and dandy now!

They dont know why it happened or how to avoid it in the future...useful, but if you're still in warranty then send it off, it took exactly a week to get back to me (Monday to Monday). Good luck!

its not a problem, its with network connection

I've had this problem since ages and couldn't fix it yet. First thing, download LTE switch and change the value from wcdma preferred to gsm auto. see if it avoids the restarts. Another thing you can try is, change the sim card (I havent tried it yet). Or, if possible, change the back cover. But I'm pretty pretty sure its the problem with the network.

Well I have been at the 1.2GHz level for almost 24 hours now without too much trouble. Im not sure if it was lowering the CPU clock for screen on, or raising the CPU clock for screen off.
