SOLUTION

Hello all,

first off: delete wpa_supplicant and everything is fine!

I gave up and did a factory reset/wipe data. After that it worked w/o problems.

> Now I will restore all my apps and check if it's still working afterwards. > still working

> restore wifi access points > NOT WORKING ANYMORE!

> with shame I delete wpa_supplicant > WORKS AGAIN!

I'm so ashamed. :/ Should have done that like months ago.

I go back to my backup and try it there. > deleting the wpa_supplicant worked!!!!
[Defy General] edu_web:
My Wifi has a problem with WRT54G Wireless Router, with Froyo Stock ROM and CM7.1 RC1.5-jordan.

WIFI connect, signal is good but connection is very slow.

On notebooks, the connection is faster with this same router.

In another Wireless routers connection is normal from Defy. The problem is only between Defy x Linksys WRT54G.

I have set Defy and Router to work only in G mode, but the problem persist.

With the same configurations the problem don´t occour with another routers from D-link, Cisco or other.

Anyone know how can I solve it?

Tnks.

Hello,

I flashed Squadzone's CM7.2 RC5.5 yesterday for first time I use any custom ROMs on my SGM.

Then I flashed GApps and Opened market to install my favorite apps, here I noticed that (SD-Card Normally supported) apps were installed in Internal Memory.

Finally, I installed Link2SD, moved and linked all application to SD-EXT partition .. so all applications linked to SD-EXT.

I tried to move them to Normal SD-Card via Settings => Applications, but it failed.

I tried to move them via Link2SD, but it failed with Error: "[INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR]", but it succeeded one time to move Acrobat Reader then it failed.

I don't bother if they are installed on SD-Card or SD-EXT, but this problem causes to bigger problem. the Following Apps MUST be installed on SD-Card from Market or APK (as I think):

1. Voice Search

2. Archidroid

3. SpeedCar

4. Holy Quran

when I tried to install them from Market, they prompts an error: "couldn't install on USB Storage or SD Card"!

although the rest apps installed successfully!

Sorry for my bad English, I wish I explained the problem successfully.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
are iPhones and ipod touches far more advanced technically Than the play or other Android phones? I ask because ios app store has some great games like prince of Persia (the ps2 version) yet Android is lagging behind? Why?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Selim873:
Well, the reason is because Android is widespread and open to many different hardware, as IOS is only available on one identical unit.

Think of it this way.

Android is to PC, iOS is to Mac.

iOS is much more consistent because there aren't any devices that are stronger or weaker, because they're all the exact same hardware, so optimizing is a cinch, while Android developers have to focus on SO many different devices, processors, etc.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DubleJayJ:
This.

But ICS is pretty much putting everything behind and putting us ahead of iOS
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
Thanks. Now I understand. So is the play inferior to the iPhone 4s technically?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] flywithme:
If you think PC is inferior to Mac.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] The Alpha Gamer:
So what does that make Windows Phone 7? :p

Android = Linux
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Asked Man:
It was about the hardware, not OS

Yes, Android is Linux.

But Selim873 was pointing to hardware fragmentation. You cannot buy a Mac and put the video card you want. You cannot get a mac with the processor you want. There is no Nvidia/Intel/AMD processors to choose from, nor the 32/64 bits thing in Mac.

Apple has complete control over the hardware and you can only buy what they sell and they sell the same thing to everybody. it is not like that on PC, where you can have a PC with different processors/graphic cards/ram/hard disks/whatever you want.

So the fragmentation on Android hardware allows us to have dual screen devices, gamepads, physical keyboards, etc, but it also increases the amount of drivers people need to work with and the amount of optimization needed to release anything. On IOS you have only one thing and everybody have the same, so it is easier to optimize.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] loismustdie555:
I sold in my iPhone 4 the instant I heard that you didn't have to "jailbreak" it to install emulators and your own custom apps. So IMO iOS is vastly inferior to android.

Pretty much the same thing when I bought a Mac, traded that in when I realized none of my games could run on it other than Half Life 2 series (which I had already played the he11 out of btw) (Mac OS 5-9 Was better than OS-X ANY day IMO) so I got an Alienware M15X which was more powerful for less money, plus I got a couple of Mac OS 9 PPC's which actually run :eek:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GDSH:
True I have a Ipod and a Ipad as well as the Tablet S and Xperia Play On android the developers are faced with a challenge to optimize the devices for games on IOS they have to do It once forever.

But to get true grip of your IDevice you have to "Jailbreak" and Avoid you warranty :(.

On android we can custimize Our Stock rom to what ever we Like Home Launchers apps Widgets.

MAC=iDevice

Windowss/Linux=Android

Now look at which one is better you can also download files on the go on android, install different markets upgrade your memory when ever you like etc.....

People think of android as a Slave its a heavy System to run but it payes of in the end :).

You decide if you prefer Fixed Specs or Changeable soecs :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Zerobarat1:
As an operating system iOS is better than Android. But iPhones in general are not better than Androids. Why? 3.5" screens, that's why :).

iOS is very solid, I am a game tester for EA's mobile division and the kind of punishment it takes puts it in front compared to Androids.

But then again iOS is an anti-democratic ****, that gives you absolutely no freedom, so no matter how well built it is, it's still going to be trash from a smartphone's perspective (until you jailbreak it)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dcAndroidFan:
I know that there's plenty of evidence that the metal caseback may be (most likely is) a cause of poor GPS and WiFi reception. However, it cannot be the only cause, and I think there's a good chance that even with the metal case, the proper software could make this tablet run pretty well. Check out this photo:

View attachment 903298

That photo was taken at the end of January, in my house, after about two minutes of satellite acquisition. Two 32 Gb Primes, both BCOK# series, .11 firmware. Since the WiFi on both was about the same and the GPS on the left one was great, I sent back the one on the right (I got the HHGregg $399 mistake deal on the left one).

Fast-forward to yesterday. Since the .13 firmware didn't change the GPS build number, I hadn't even bothered to test GPS since updating. On a whim, I tested it yesterday. Zero satellites. Even after five minutes of scanning. Zero. The only thing that changed was the firmware -- same hardware as before. In my car, outside on a clear day, I managed to pick up 3-4 birds sporadically but never for long and I never got a single location lock, in ten minutes.

I know it's easy to blame hardware and I know that there are a number of design choices that might have been made differently, but I guarantee you that software is playing a huge part in this as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slybarman:
I made this same argument when the .11 firmware completely borked the GPS on my prime - it had been working reasonably well before that. I ended up returning that one to best buy. The replacement I got works much better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nattylite:
oddly enough my GPS was working before (6-9 birds 5-6 locks) albeit weakly with the .11 update but I just retested it yesterday since the .13 update and 1-3 birds but no lock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dcAndroidFan:
Thanks. I wish we could get a consensus of users who have had similar results. I feel like most of the discussion is just a knee-jerk regurgitation of the "metal caseback" or "damn pogopins" talking points and nobody is really looking into what these firmware updates may be effecting. I'm somewhat hopeful on the one hand -- if firmware can completely screw up GPS that was working as well as this one was, then perhaps the next update could fix it and improve it if they really get a bead on the problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
It is the hardware, can't you guys just accept this.. please..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dcAndroidFan:
I can only assume you're being ironic and wanted to post your neat Picard picture. There is absolutely NO WAY that this could be blamed completely on hardware. I tested the exact same device in the exact same spot in the exact same house under basically the exact same environmental conditions (clear night, around the same time). The picture shows my GPS before the update, and I can assure you that last night I got no satellites at all. That's after soft resets, cold reboots, and two factory resets. Software was the variable in this equation.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I was surprised to note the same with my 32GB Gray Prime as well. Prior to .13, I was able to get as many as 8/10 birds locked indoors, and 12/14 locked outdoors--both WITHOUT wifi turned on. I didn't test it while driving because that's not a concern of mine, but I was happy to know that the Prime could serve as at least a stationary GPS device.

I tried it yesterday, however, on a whim, and I got the same results as the OP. Took FOREVER to lock outdoors, and never got more than 7/10 for a second or two. Indoors, I get nothing. And that was with wifi turned on. This was the first time I'd tested it since installing .13.

Clearly, this has something to do with software. I have no idea if the Prime will ever serve as a navigational device, but I can absolutely testify that GPS on my Prime was MUCH better prior to .13.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jyan_osu:
After having owned many android devices, sometimes it can be software. the Prime could be a combo of both...

I remember when I had the HTC Mogul and people were saying it didn't have GPS.. they even opened it up and one guy swore up and down that it doesn't even have an antenna for GPS. A few months later, a firmware comes out and it enables GPS and it worked pretty well

http://gizmodo.com/365925/confirmed-sprint-mogul-gets-rev-a-and-gps+enabling-rom-update

Not saying this is the same case as the Mogul's shell was plastic, but there could be some software that's hindering the operation of it as there are folks that seem to have had a weak but working GPS.

(God I miss my Mogul)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Screwedupsmitty:
Its probably not all software, its probably not all hardware. It's 99% likely to be a combo of both. Erusman's thread shows there obvious hardware flaws including PCB boards and pogo pins, RF signals ect. I think it'll be at least another 2 months before this gets sorted out totally, unfortunately by then I may have jumped boat completely. I'm trying to have faith but staples has stopped stocking the prime yet again, due to complaints, and if I cant continue returning for the product I'll have to just get a refund and wait to see what MWC brings. Mostly because I have $300 staples rewardS :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dcAndroidFan:
Exactly -- I was one of those people, only mine wasn't "weak". I think 12 birds with 7 locks inside a house is pretty good. In my car, I got 11+ locks and accuracy to 20 feet sometimes. For a WiFi tablet that's pretty good. I'm trying to figure out how many more of us there are out there. If there's a substantial group, I'd like to see if we can get a dedicated effort from the fix-it guys like the random reboot, unknown serial #, and BT dropout issues got.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I concur.

I went from 13 sats in view and 9 locked on .11 to 0/1 in view and 0 locked on .13.

It is the hardware, on SOME Primes, it is the software on most Primes however, can't you guys just accept this.. please..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
It's not hardware! How can it just break then fix its self! I have told you guys before it has something to do with the tegra 2 power saving feature or something along the lines of AGC or something else! Hardware is not an issue!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Yeah sure, explain why people suddenly get a better signal by just pushing hard on the side of the tablet (yes, this also is hardware). It is just a combination of the backplate, pogopinns and other hardware. Accept it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BTrack:
Give it up. Too many of us have the same hardware and NO issues!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] m3t4lw01f:
I bought mine knowing there were GPS issues, and my box doesn't say GPS at all. It came with Honeycomb and I didn't bother testing GPS at the time, and have since upgraded to ICS (.11) and I get no satellites, even outside.

I let it sit for about 20 minutes and from time to time it'd have one or two satellites in view, but they quickly disappear.

I tried the "squeeze the bezel" trick with no luck at all as well.

The .13 update is not yet available to me OTA, and reading about other's issues with it I'm reluctant to update, especially considering my prime has been utterly amazing on .11. If an update comes along that no one is having issues with I'll give it a whirl and test GPS again to see.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Because like I've said, sometimes it can be chalked up to hardware. Yes, like the pogopins. But I've made sure my pins connect, and after doing so on one s/w version I had almost decent GPS, and on another s/w version have no GPS.

Did my chip suddenly just die or something? My backplate somehow assimilated another layer of aluminum?

I doubt it...
