I had GPS problems on my DS as well, googled a bit, and found out you can change the GPS config file.

First use FasterFix, and select your location to where ever you is closest to you, then google "ntp pool" enter the website and choose a region from the right hand side. Use Root Explorer to go to your /System/etc location. Open gpsconf, and type in the "server 0.europe.pool.ntp.org" text. It will change on where you are located. Mine was Europe thats why there is ".europe.pool"

Hope i helped you out man. Peace.
[HTC Desire S] PeLa:
Thanks guys. I will try your suggestions.

Althought I still don't understand why my phone has these GPS problems. Just out of the blue...
[HTC Desire S] milkboy112358:
I had major problems with GPS fix for several days, until I made a "compass calibration" through GPS status program. A reboot might do the same, but I'm not sure.
[HTC Desire S] PeLa:
Hi all,

I did a hard reset of device and restored the factory defaults. As I did not change a lot on the device this was not a very big issue for me.

But after this the problems are gone. My device now has a fix within a few seconds.

Kind regards,

Peter
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derochs0:
Hey You,

I've got an htc Desire for almost about 2 years now and I think it's time to get a new phone.

It's working fine though, but it fell on the floor, a part of the case broke off... :P

Now, what would You buy next?

I'm thinking about the Galaxy Nexus, but it's hardware seems outdated...

Would You buy the Galaxy Nexus or wait for Samsung Galaxy s 3 and htc Ville?

Which would You prefer, Samsung or htc?

Thanks ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerrari:
wait couple of months more

there will be MWC (Mobile World Congress) held in Spain, next week... mobile industry's biggest event. Just follow the new-comers there. You may even think of an LG, Panasonic (yes, it's coming back), or something else; after this event. And March Samsung will be announcing it's 2012 lineup.

Some kind of new era should begin regarding smartphones, in order to change Desire to something else. Because, to my opinion still all the android phone experiences are more or less the same.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derochs0:
First of all, thanks for Your reply,

Well, I think that means for me that won't get myself a Galaxy Nexus, I'm going to wait some time for the new Quad-Core-Machines :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nksharma74:
At the moment SGS2 is best option but if you can wait then quad cores would be there soon.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derochs0:
I can't wait... But I also don't want to have already an outdated phone in a couple of months.

But that's Android, I guess, You get a new phone and there's already a new one out.

I'll wait for release of s3, then I can compare it to the other new handsets of MWC12.

Thanks for Your reply :)

Hey guys,

At first all Xperia Smarthphone from 2011 get the Update.

Second the bootscreen is with the brand from Sony

see here:

Third the the design is the same like the Xperia S, also we get everyone the Xperia S design :)

[Xperia Play General] Leraeniesh:
all Xperia Smarthphone from 2011 (except R800x, probably.)
[Xperia Play General] androidseb:
Yes all

Gesendet von meinem R800i
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
Now now, don't be so pessimistic! Us r800x owners will get the update. It just won't happen until next year.
[Xperia Play General] androidseb:
No the update for European people comes in march or April for all xperia 2011

Gesendet von meinem R800i
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
Why do you say Android 4.0 ? just say Ice Cream Sandwich !

It's easier to understand !
[Xperia Play General] androidseb:
I can this write I edit it

Gesendet von meinem R800i
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
The R800x is an American phone, so we can't expect to have the same release as the European phones.
[Xperia Play General] androidseb:
Maybe but the design is the same as us xperia software

Gesendet von meinem R800i
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
While that is true, American phones are generally way behind on updates, even across multiple manufacturers. Not to mention the fact that every Xperia Play is a GSM except for the R800x, it takes a while longer to port the software to match the CDMA modem.

In otherwords, the outside design and most of the software is the same, yes. However, they are different enough that it will take longer for the CDMA Xperia Play to receive the ICS update, if at all. That one will mostly depend on our carrier, Verizon Wireless.
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
For all us United Kingdom users we'll get the Ice Cream Sandwich update April/early May for our Xperia Plays. So not long to go :) I can't wait !

It'll be nice to see that new XPERIA logo on the Xperia Play.
[Xperia Play General] KeiranFTW:
The R800x is the only phone that doesn't have any ICS ports yet...

But don't worry, maybe the first ICS rom will be like the .145, works on both :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WannyMan:
What happens is that all but the application icon disappears in the icon dock on the home screen.

I have made some folders In the application screen to categorize the applications. Most of these applications are put back on the main applications screen, so I suddenly have 13 pages of applications instead of 2.

This happened for the 3rd time this month, so before I'm going to sort every application again, I want to know if somebody had the same issue.

Is there an application to manage this screen with more ease than dragging each icon one by one to another folder? I'm also using Go Launcher and there all the icons stay where they are.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WannyMan:
Happened again today. I'm going to use GO Launcher.

But nobody had this same issue?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dog-G:
My HD2 flash Android sense roms anymore but flashes other types of roms.

Please help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rubikum:
What exactly is not working? Wont boot or wont install?

First i can think of is either Task 29 or flash back to winmo and then back to magldr again :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dog-G:
Than need for your reply Rubikum.

Sorry, I meant, it wont boot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dog-G:
I have done task29 many times
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
you using the correct partition size for the rom?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htccraze:
It wont boot to what? MAGLDR, wont boot past MAGLDR (sd kernal fail), not starting at all, only going to splash screen? Do you have MAGLDR installed?

MAGLDR does not charge while the phone is off and i have had a few times when i thought my phone was messed up but it was just a dead battery. If you can just try and turn it on every once in awhile to check but make sure its plugged in while doing it incase it does start it will start charging. I bought 2 spare batteries and a wall charger that charges the spares without a cable for around $8 on ebay.

check out ebay if you cant get ahold of a different battery. Its worth a try. Here's something like what i bought.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dog-G:
I use the right partitions. After installing rom, when I reboot, It always gets stuck on boot screen. And its not a battery problem
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dadolinac:
Do you format your sd card and do task 29? It can mess with previosly rom..;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] showlyshah:
If its a rom that needs sd ext, and u have patritioned sd ext in comp, make sure its a primary/active partition, else ur ext partition wont be mounted. To check it, try mount/format sd ext frm cwm. If it fails, its secondary/inactive type.

Here it goes:- biggest one is active/primary patrition with fat32, next bigger is active/primary with ext3/4, the smallest will be linux swap.

I promise, i had encounderd the same problem in my own rom(will be releasing in 2days) which needs ext partition as a must, it stuck on boot , since i have played with my sd partitions, in comp, using mini partition tool. And formatted ext as secondary/inactive while i got my 6gb fat32 as active /primary. Then i found that my phone cant mount ext, by above said cwm check. So i formated it to active. And rom booted.

The simple way to format is using cwm.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htccraze:
I agree with showlyshah. Normally if your stuck at the boot screen its because the partition was not set up correctly. I personally use and suggest Mini-Tool Partition Wizard. Its free and works great. You can download it here from cnet downloads.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ufkal:
Hey Community! I just got a Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I am coming from the LG Revolution which was an awesome phone with great little community here in XDA.

Knowing there are about 900 pages of posts for me to read, I'm just curious if there is anything to start that I should do to make this device even more awesome? I hear volume and battery life are a general problem?

I'm looking forward to participating in this community as I get to know my phone better.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Unlock bootloader, root, install custom rom and kernel... install volume+ if volume is an issue for you... Do you want to keep your phone stock or what?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ufkal:
Back in the day of the Incredible, I was a ROM Junkie. I would switch roms around every couple of days. So, no, Stock isn't necessary. From what I hear there isn't anything really spectacular with stock. I'm looking forward to trying out some of the roms and see what is the best rom/kernal/theme fix I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farangutan:
I would flirt around with it stock and get used to ICS. Then look around for modifications you want to make and see if anyone has what you're looking for. Unlock, root, etc .

Or unlock and root now, so you don't have erase as much and be able to make a backup with root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] costlyman:
I think as ICS is new and interesting compared to older versions, you should first get comfortable with stock ROM, how it behave, what crashes, all in all get a good feel of the phone. Then i would suggest to tinker with custom ROMS.

Google has made a goode improvement in ICS and its worth experiencing STOCK FIRST.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ufkal:
I am seeing that coming to ICS from Gingerbread is like going from XP to Win 7. Functionality is still there, there are just other ways to get to it. It will take some time to get used to that's a fact.

Thanks for the responses guys. I appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
I agree, you should at least unlock and root, and then play around with stock. But eventually I'd recommend using GummyNex or Android Revolution HD if you want to feel closer to stock and AOKP or CodeNameAndroid if you want more tweaks and modifications. Then for kernels I'd recommend Faux123's kernels, LeanKernel, Trinity, and GLaDOS. I've had great battery life with Faux123 and LeanKernel, and Trinity has great speed/performance, and I've never tried GLaDOS, but I hear it's good. Anyway, try any combination of those four kernels and roms (up to 16 combos) and find the one that best suits you. For themes... I prefer the Black Exodus or Black Nexus theme, but if you want more of a colorful UI, go to the Themes section and get whatever green/blue/red/yellow etc. theme you want. =]
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] willisterman:
Afternoon All!

My HTC Desire has given up the ghost, and I'm in the market for a new phone. I've settled on the note, and I've been looking around for accessories.

I used to have a T-Mobile Ameo, and the keyboard and case combination worked really well. See the attachment if you want to see how it looked.

Can anyone recommend something similar for the Note? Bluetooth will be fine, but USB would be better.

If there isn't something integrated, I'd look at mashing a case/keyboard combo myself, so recommendations for the individual bits would be cool too.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eternalko:
Hi friends.

I've been mooving around so many roms and now I finally know, that stock and stock like roms (IN MY CASE) will always end up messed up and laggy and buggy and unstable and and and...

So now I stick with MIUI, which in fact satisfies me. Except the notion, that I really like the messaging, and moreover contact book that go with the stock.

They have some really nice UI features that I love.

So the bottom line: Is there a way, I could extract those apps from Stock and install into MIUI?

If so, then how? :)

Installing is easy. Harder is extracting.

Any hints?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] _TB_TB_:
You can extract it from any CWM ROM based on Stock, but I do not think it will work -> missing Samsung frameworks, libs, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eternalko:
Oh, that easy. Will give a try.

Yeah,I know that it will probably fail :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bigdave196:
I'd be very interested to know if you had any success with this. I've just flashed CM9RC2 and loving it, but I'm finding the dialler, contacts and calender apps to be a real let-down compared to the stock Samsung ones (so much so I might have to go back to stock ROM)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
No-one has ported them - they 100% work.

I too miss these features (and the music player) enough that I went back to stock roms.

Hi,

I'm wondering if someone can port voodoo sound from galaxy s to our defys. I don't know how it is in other roms but i'm using cyanogenmod 7.2 and i can't use the highest level of volume because music sounds like ****. It starts noises and i'm afraid to destroy my headphones. One or two degrees lower and its ok.. I think about half a year ago cyanogenmod's nightlies hasn't got such error. Have you got the same and how to fix this?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanna91:
May be the new CM 7.2 nightly must have got a new DSP manager .. look into its configuration ..that may influence it :)

[Xperia Play General] blonqe:
My PS VITA arrived today and i cannot wait to get home to try it.

This got me thinking Will i ever use my Xplay again? Will i miss it if i got rid?

When i first got my Xplay (April 2011) i was over the moon, the potential this phone had was endless. Coming from a Palm Pre it had alot to live up against, (I Love webOS) I find myself with every phone wanting to play games, perfect fit i thought.

However nearly 12 months later and the games i still play the most are all on emulators, N64, PSX, etc all android games that are half decent end up being a let down (personal thoughts of course) GTA3, Dead Space Even (repetitive), all gameloft games!

Maybe i was sold on the hype and potential and not on the actual business plan Sony Erricson had for the Xplay, infact what is it for? causal gamers, emulator nuts? It annoys me that not all android games utilise the gamepad (this is one thing i expected to happen - Its only a litlte bit of code to add isn't it?)

The only real thing that has made me pick my xplay up in the last few months is the amount of support the devs have given it. Kernels, Custom Roms etc (I can do this on nearly any android phone)

I feel i can get rid of my Xplay now, i love android for its customisation options, maybe if there ever was a Xplay 2 they can get it right, make it a proper console like the vita which can make calls and i'll be happy.

My rant, debate, statement whatever i wrote is over.

However my question still remains Will i ever use my Xplay again? Will i miss it if i got rid? Wierdly...........

I think the answer would be yes i would miss it!
[Xperia Play General] D.Spirit:
Congratulation on having PSVita

But I really don't care if you are gonna get rid of your xperia play or not.
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
I suggest you keep your Xperia Play cause end of the day it's a phone and you can make calls with it AND just keep it because you have got emulators on it.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Vita has arrived... and yet we STILL don't have the damn playstation store.... :mad:
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
When Gameboy Advance came, did you miss your Gameboy color? ;)

I've ordered a HTC chacha, because I miss the keyboard, and I feel that's petter then a gamepad, even if the chacha is not as powerful as the play.

I'm happy with my Vita and my chacha :)

My xperia play is in the box, ready to sell.
[Xperia Play General] The Alpha Gamer:
Well you say what you pay the most on it is emulators, so yeah you'll still use it, you're not getting emulators until the Vita gets hacked, and even then the Xperia Play has more good games. At the minute the Vita isn't a portable games console, it's a portable Uncharted console.
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
Agreed. Where's the Playstation Suite ??
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Ditto. WTH
[Xperia Play General] Sniper Spr3e:
playstation store will most likely be with ICS so everything is pushed to the play at once

also 3 hours vita vs upto 8 hours xplay best idea would be to keep both and try use the vita for vita games and everything else phone
[Xperia Play General] bornotty:
Well I can understand your view. Even I've stopped gaming on my XPlay since gameloft slowed down on releasing new games for android.

And myself I'm planning to get the new Xperia S after few month's of its release or wait till the dev section in XDA gets little populated with custom kernels/roms etc. And I'm not sure about carrying another device(Vita) in my pocket except my phone.

But by next year hopefully we see an XPlay 2 with better specs and much better support but I highly doubt Sony will do that since it will create competition against its own product which is the new Vita.

But on the other hand I have fingers crossed for HTC to release a phone with gamepad. Why so? Because latest rumor has that some new HTC devices will get PS certified from Sony. Which means there are chances of another phone with gamepad or maybe it will simply be like a "PS certified" device like Xperia S. Which makes no sense at all.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
I've cut back on my PLAY time as well, mainly because I've beaten every game I have (that I wanted to beat, excluding Splinter Cell which just sucks), and the only ones I don't have that I'd like to play are Shadowgun, MC3, and BackStab. I'm waiting for a sale to buy them as I refuse to pay full price of a GL game when they hand them out for a buck every few months.

Waiting for or hoping for some more games with depth, otherwise I may get a Vita as well.

As for HTC I don't see them making a niche phone like this, and in fact I think its entirely possible we will never see an Xperia PLAY 2, as they 1 wont want to compete with the Vita, and 2 mucked it up the first time around.

EDIT: If I have to wait for ICS on the PLAY to get the Playstation Suite I may as well get a Vita and ditch this phone at my next upgrade, because Verizon hasn't even given us 2.3.4 yet, gonna be a cold day before we get ICS.
[Xperia Play General] swebosdev:
Get a vita, play it in public, never get laid again.

Pretty funny though you guys got to go out and replace this with 2 seperate high end products.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Verizon does suck, doubtful we will ever get ICS. Also didnt I read somewhere in the begining of Dec that they were traning their employees for the Xperia PLAY LTE? Guess that never panned out. I really like my PLAY but it seems like all the games worth playing are old, and pretty much all dave 2 of the GameLoft games are buggy pieces of crap. The PS Vita has a really nice display but I will never buy a handheld game console anymore, and no its not because I want to get laid I am already married and can get that whenever she wants......because if its me I end up on a milk carton. :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
The second that I found out that the VITA was not a mobile device I lost interest...

I'm not gonna carry around multiple devices.

And it's true, seeing a PSP/3DS/VITA being played in public makes the person look... juvenile... Of course playing a game on a cell phone doesn't have the same effect. Double standard, I guess.
[Xperia Play General] Growling Clover:
FACT! I had a PSP for 5 years and was single. Sold it, got an xplay and got laid. It's more than just a phone ;-)

brought to you by the XDA app on my badass Android toy
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Thats my problem... I just can't see myself carrying it. The reason I love the Xperia PLAY is its in my pocket all the time.

When I was a kid I had a Sega Game Gear. I barely used it and ended up selling it for two reasons, 1. was that I had very little money, so if I was gonna spend money on games I was gonna spend it on Genesis games since 2. it was too bulky to carry aground (and the Vita is not much better) meaning aside from long Car rides I rarely carried it around, meaning I played it at home, and when I'm home I'd rather play a game on a TV.
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
I agree. PS Vita is NOT a phone. Okay it's got better graphics and all that but then the games aspect comes into play. You have to pay £30 for every game. I'd rather play a game on PS3 on a 40'' 3D TV than play it on the Vita's screen.

To be honest i'm happy with my Xperia Play even though some people may not like it. I'm happy with £3 games I spend on it and happy to play them.

As I said I'd rather play games on the PS3 with a big screen.

The Vita is just for people who want to show off
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
What the hell is with the talk that dedicated handheld gaming consoles look stupid? I play them in public, and I have no issues getting laid. I'd chalk that one to looks. I play a 3ds as well as my xplay. Its the same ****, who cares.
