I think this will do

Ok guys (and girls) here goes.

I said in an earlier post that I was working on minimizing my GPS enhancer.

And I think it worked out pretty well but I am always open for suggestions to improve.

For the moment it is a very minimized footprint with very good results. When outdoors or in the car I get average of 15 sats and 11 fixes. And that is not only right under the windshield but also on the chair next to me.

ALL GREENS AND YELLOWS!!!

I have placed some pictures of the proces and the end results.

Below you will find a brief description of the proces.

All you need is an old bankcard, a beer (canned), 9,75 mm of guitar string (I used 0.03 inch thick) and glue (don't use superglue or you will be stuck with it :-))

Read my first post and look at the diagram. Only two things have changed. The foil is now 2,5 x 1 cm. The wire is now turned the other way starting about one mm from the foil. The foil is in the same location.

Cut a piece of bankcard 5 x 1,8 cm. You can leave it a little bigger and cut down to size later in the proces.

Heat the end (about 2 cm) of the guitar string in a gas flame until it is red hot.

Drop the glowing string an a smooth surface and quickly press the bankcard on the string. This is tricky because the string cools fast and you have to possition the card quickly. I use a piece of flat metal to evenly push the card down. That way you don't burn your fingers and you cool the surface of the card so the wire doesn't melt all the way through.

Next, position the foil in the right place on the backside of the card. I use a special glue that remains a little flexible. It is hard to remove later but is is not impossible (tried it on a window :-) and it does not leave any marks.

Use tape to precisely outline and mask the area around the location of the GPS enhancer. You don't want glue all over your tablet.

Apply the glue, wait the precribed time and then press the GPS enhancer and the tablet together. And don't get glue in the crack along the bezel.

Carefully remove the masking tape and place the tablet facing down on a soft cloth and put some books on it to apply pressure.

Wait patiently and let the glue harden

Have fun. I'll post some pictures of the excelent GPS reception later.

Remember the exact location of the different components is very important!

And to prevent people from commenting that it isn't working.

A. When using GPS bend the wire gently upwards so it sticks out at the top of the Prime

B. When not in use bend down just over the camera.

PS At the moment I stick it to the screen using a piece of tape. If anyone has a practical and more elegant solution please let me know

(thanx to buxtahuda for thinking in the other direction ;-) and the idea of using guitar string)

My prime ran from 9am untill about 2pm before it showed low battery icon. Signal dropped off a few times but no more than 5.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] k33py:
Holly **** dingdong did you just glue that to your screen ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dingdonggggg:
Yep

But I did extensive test beforehand (on my window) to be sure all the glue can be removed.

As I said it is sort of flexibel glue. Sort of high tech shoemaker glue.

I don't think it is advisable to use super glue or so.

By the way. My GPS enhancer is a little thinner than your allan key.

It's about 0.8 mm thick

;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] k33py:
Yes I'm going to start downscaling the Allen key to see if it makes any difference. You should edit your post and insert the line. DO NOT USE SUPER GLUE. Just for the people that speed read posts lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pvdwaal:
Great news for GPS, but does it also increase wifi speed and signal?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dingdonggggg:
Serves them right.

;-)

People shouldn't speed read.

They should read a thread thoroughly.

Might save as a lott of needles and stupid posts.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dingdonggggg:
Using iPerf i get an average transfer of 19 Mbytes and a bandwith of 15,9 Mbits/sec

I did multiple 10 sec. interval tests

I was about 10 m from my router.

Two walls and steel cabinets in between

Just did a quick test.

Streamed to HD youtube music videos at the same time to my Prime.

No hick ups.

I streamed a single HD this afternoon.

Had hick ups.

Did some more testing.

Definitly beter wifi performance.

Much more stable.

Streaming TWO HD music videos on the worst places in my home.

:-)

I don't think my throughput is enlarged but I get the impression that the GPS enhancer (foil) stabillizes the wifi signal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
That's true. But threads can get unruly quickly. Look at Erusmans "Opened Prime" thread, if he hadn't edited OP at least a little and I hadn't put together a single page of most relevant info, then it would take anyone an entire afternoon just to figure out the Prime has sliding latches involved in opening it up.

So, please do at least update the OP with your new finds. Your thread though, so of course feel free not to as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] David522d:
So i cut a 5 inch peice of coat hanger, tapped on the prime and BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY GPS WORKS!

wifi still SUCKS!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ddborello:
It seems that with this new rom ( Rom Prime Icylicious 9.4.2.15 Rooted & Busybox ) have solved, through software changes, the problem of GPS!

The author writes:I found a few things that Asus left out of the ROM regarding GPS. They have been added and tweaked. You'll notice in the photos below that I got 10 out of 13 locks on the GPS inside of three minutes of starting the gps status app up after calibrating the compass in the "tools"section of the app.

screenshots of GPS reception with enhancer

I promised I would post some screenshots of my reception.

I must say the results are less good as I got with my previous enhancer. Maybe the locations are not exactly on the spot this time. I will check it out and make a new one.

Or possibly cutting down the foil has to much of an effect.

Results however still very much better then without

Seems the signal is less stable and more susceptible for influence from the wifi
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Falhawk:
I think this is a cool fix

but I'm still shocked that people really care about gps on a tablet. I've had my prime since january and only turned on gps once just to see if it worked
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
And some people never use the GPS on phones and don't see the point..

But I like having a few devices that overlap in their functionality so that I can do whatever's comfortable according to the situation, and so I don't get into the rut of having dedicated devices. Isn't that kind of the point in SMARTphones and all the subsequent technology? Have everything at the tips of your fingers and all that?

DUhhhhhh

What is the matter with these people?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] twacwac:
I've tried this way but no luck :mad:. I did not use the glue, only placed a paper clip or beer can in position. No satellite appeared.

But when trying different method to check GPS, I've found out that turn on Bluetooth & GPS will help my TFP's GPS working :D

GPS get fixed after 10-15 second with ~10/14 satellite in used

When using in car, with speed of 50-60 km/h, only 3-4 satellite in used and get lost quickly after entering high building area.

There must be something wrong for ICS while dealing Wifi / Bluetooth / GPS. I guess they must sacrifice one to make sure the others working well & they took GPS because they think the usage of GPS is low :confused:

I'd suggest trying double sided tape instead of glue to attach it to the Prime....I think it would hold, and eliminate the worry of using the wrong glue.

It's really nice to read such threads. I see it works for gps, but the wifiresults varry from "better" to "still sucks".

More feedback on Wifi? :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robertg9:
These signals are typical of what I am getting with just 4" of coat hanger. The only difference is 30 is about my max number.

---------- Post added at 01:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

Has anyone tried using just plain 20 AWG wire. It's about the same size (.0320 inches)?

I was also wondering what the result would be if you extended the wire (insulated, of course) over top of the foil. My reasoning is that every good antenna needs a ground plane.

Hi

I am about to buy an optimus 2x, but before that i have to know once and for all-

does 720p mkv work with dice player/mxplayer with hardware decoding at least decently?

i sold my i9000 to replace it, how are the video capabilities of the 2X if you compare it to the i9000?

i'd appreciate a fast answer- the deal is supposed to be done tomorrow

thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
The o2x can only hardware-decode a very limited number of 720p videos (some tv shows you "find" on the internet works, other do not, most movies lag), however with software decoding (for example with mx player) it can play another bunch of videos, still not all though. Do not buy this phone for it's video playback capabilities.
[LG Optimus 2x] vadonka:
wrong forum :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Ferrum Master:
Guys.... this is wrong section for you...
[LG Optimus 2x] tpowell.ca:
Really?

Haven't had a problem yet.

720p with dolby digital (software audio decode mode), DTS (software decode mode).

MP4 with CABAC and 3+ ref frames, shouldn't be possible but it works fine and in hardware too.

HDMI output is clean and has no issues, even with 25ft cables.

Maybe I'm lucky, maybe ergoen wasn't...
[LG Optimus 2x] stevvie:
I really haven't found a movie that I can't play, I even stream them from my PC/router by mounting the drives in cifs manager and playing them in either mx player or quick pic player.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
640x480= 480p

Screen Res= 800x480

SD space=limited

Hardware mode seems to get better battery life,software decoding a 720p movie used around 95% battery over 2 hours with airplane mode on

Hardware decoding a 480p TV show used 25% in 50 minutes, airplane mode on.

I thought when I first flashed a custom ROM that it might useful to keep a backup of stock.

But right now this backup bogging down my sd card. Will it still work if I copy the folder with the backup in my computer and use it afterwards? Or should I delete it and use the method described in these threads to bring it back to stock if I need to?

My tf101 stopped charging when I updated to ics. After the first rom I flashed wouldn't recognize being connected to my computer via usb for storage I downloaded and flashed the version from this threat (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1334673). The usb storage works fine now but my device won't charge at all while it's on. I know it won't charge with the screen on connected to the pc. But this isn't that. Even plugged into the wall it will not charge unless the device is turned off completely. If it's off and I plug it into the wall it boots up and doesn't charge, I have to manually shut it down while it's connected to the wall charger.

Any ideas? Any help is appreciated.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweaked:
I was having that too. I was like wtf.. Lol I found that plugging it in and then maually turning of the screen, and then unplugging it and then plugging it back in would turn the screen back on and then it would charge while screen was on. I thought my cord was die'n. Lol

I'm having this to. what's the cause. what's the fix. what the hell....

after nandroiding revolver 4.00, I wiped and flashed EOS nightly. then it wouldny charge.

I already have issues with speakers between OS's out of the blue.

anyway why no charge? help is appreciated.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dangambino:
iMy tablet would only charge when off after flashing an ics rom. After much research and near nervous breakdown, I did a lot of research. Mostly on asustransformerforum where there is an extensive thread about this. Since it would charge, just when off, clearly it wasn't the device, firmware (cuz if flashed different roms) or the cable.

With help from the aforementioned forum, I realizd it was the charging brick.

I went to best buy and got a dynex universal camera and camcorder charger that is adjustable to 11.0 v, which is the minimum that the tab will recognize while on.

It is now charging. Charger was 30$

Hope this helps
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelvenom:
I checked the voltage on my charger and made sure the cables were ok - fiddly job. After they checked out ok (as I was certain they would) I did the full factory reset and cold booted a couple of times.

All of a sudden it just started charging as normal. Yay!

I can only assume it was an app that was causing the issue though i have no idea which one it may have been.

If in doubt - factory reset - is the way to go it seems.

Hi all.

I followed your instructions. Flashed the kernel and at Recovery I installed the ZIP files with the wifi modules, but I have no wifi. I installed first the wifi modules for 02 and, after no wifi (option is grayed-out), I installed at recovery the stock ones. Same thing, no wifi. I have to flash again the stock kernel to regain wifi.

What is the module to use?

Thank you.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sminki:
no problem with wifi here, module works fine.

it does feel more sluggish than v1 (but then it's probably going to as it's old sources, etc etc..) but this is great news

i would advise people to check "Force GPU rendering" and turn the animations off *BEFORE* flashing the v2 kernel as that is some scary ****, it may prevent unnecessary screams of "my phone! my phone!!" :p
