I have noticed that my GPS won't lock on unless I have a sim card or when I was thetering to my Samsung galaxy s phone. Also noticed that it is not really accurate its off by quite a bit. Any suggestions on how to get it to be as accurate as possible.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ThE_SoUrCe:
I got the same problem, on my p1000 i can get a lock for 2-5 secs using copilot, i used the same on my 7.7 and it takes forever to lock..

Another this, using this as a gps device might not be a good idea, it could cause burn in issues that AMOLEDS suffers from.

Just my two cents
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TeeeJaay:
when i bought my 7.7 tab it has no sim in it for about a week but the GPS locks very quickly (i precacached google maps and used it as GPS device when driving), initial lock takes about <1min while succeding GPS locks <10secs, as far as the specs indicate it has the same GLONASS GPS capability as the GNote
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] vauxhallastra:
On android, I'm pretty sure GPS is useless without a data connection. My 7.7 takes a few seconds to lock on at the most, using a sim card. Even locks on inside buildings. When I took the simcard out once, it then took forever to lock on..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Richdog:
I can confirm that my 7.7 takes only a few seconds to lock on with sim inside. Haven't tried without it yet. :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] speedofheat:
Just tried mine for the first time. Enabled satellite + Wifi location tracking. Locked on within a few seconds.

I am in Muscat, Oman and Wifi isn't as eponymous as in US cities.

Edit: Just to be clear, I have a sim card with an active data plan in the device.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] AprieBN:
I got problem, on my p1000 i can get a lock for 5-10 secs using copilot, i used the same on my 7.7 and it takes forever to lock.. :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] quizesilver:
Guess it suffer the same problem as asus transformer prime. because of the metalic back it cause the GPS to suffer.

can anyone try GPS track program? see how many GPS satellites being lock ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ph00ny:
Mine locked within 10 sec for the first time while riding in a cab (it was down to 5m accuracy)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
How can we increase accuracy?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Richdog:
When I used my GPS in Germany and France my data roaming was DISABLED, so I guess it only used GPS to lock on within the 10 seconds that it did so?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
I have noticed that the GPS only works if you have some form of data on the tab ( either sim or wifi ) if not the GPS will not lock on and it says "data connection lost", why would this be? Is this normal or a bug?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] teiglin:
The tab's GPS unit probably requires AGPS data, which is downloaded from the internet. Some GPS units don't require the data but I assume this one does.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Ahhh OK, thanks for the info. Actually then how do the wifi only version work? Guessing by what you mentioned it does not require AGPS
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] MrWulf:
The Wifi only version would use AGPS as well. Basically AGPS is assisted GPS. It uses cell towers (for 3g models) and/ or wifi hot spots to provide location data, hence assisting the GPS unit in your phone or tablet. Try removing your sim from your phone and switching off wifi, the same thing will happen. It will take awhile to lock.

I have a galaxy S, which is notorious for poor GPS reception. I use a bluetooth GPS unit (check out apps in the market) with my phone, and it works a treat.

I am new to the Kindle Fire, and recently rooted with Kindle Fire utility without a hitch. Many thanks to all the Dev's that put that together, great work. I am not new to rooting and customizing ROMs on Droid phones, but new to the "tablet" world.

However, after doing some searching, I am unable to find information on some things.

1) Google Market. Its running fine, but there are a ton of apps missing from the market (ie Facebook). I have seen some threads on how to fix this if I am on CM7, but was wondering if its possible to do this on a "stock" rooted KF?

2) Blocking updates. Is there an easy way to "block" Amazon from being able to push updates to the device? I know this has caused issues like losing root, etc.

3) Freezing Apps. Are there any "standard" apps or processes that can be frozen/removed from the Stock ROM that aren't needed? I haven't been able to find a definitive "list".

Thanks again,

-Sf-
[Kindle Fire General] superbeak:
INFO

Hey there.

Let me see. You can use "Titanium backup" to freeze stupid things like maps. I dont have mine anymore so i cant populate a list for you atm. You can try to update the "Market" app to resolve issues with missing apps. My advice: use stock rom,root it. And use a launcher like launcher pro. Then use setcpu.

[Kindle Fire General] scarfoot:
I would like to stick with the stock rom, since hardware acceleration seems to be an issue with most of the custom roms. Do you know if Modaco supports hardware acceleration?
[Kindle Fire General] googlelover:
The only roms that have trouble with hardware acceleration are the ICS roms, all other roms have working HWA.

As far as I know the missing apps from the market can't be fixed if your on stock, even if you edit the build.prop, thats why I moved from stock to cm7.

I don't know if there is a way to completely block amazon updates, but I just froze silentupdate with titanium backup when I was stock and I never got the notification to move from 6.2.1 to 6.2.2.

The only app I know of that can freeze apps is titanium backup pro in the market, and there is no list of apps that can be removed/frozen on the stock rom, just use common sense when removing/freezing the apps, don't delete an app if you don't know exactly what it is or delete the kindle launcher, and then wonder why your homescreen is gone, and make sure to backup any apps you mess with.

modaco is a optimized 6.2.2 stock rom - you can update with it and loose nothing cause it don't format any partitions - read the op of modaco for more information ...

[General Questions and Answers] Saythis:
Ok, So I saw ClockworkMod released a recovery 5.5.0.4 for the Asus Transformer TF101 and decided to try it out(Dumb move on my part I admit). Anyways, now it continually boots into Recovery and will not boot into the AndroidOS at all. I've attempted NVFlash only to find out I have a B80 with a Locked Bootloader, thus I cannot use NVFlash. I've also tried reflashing Roach's Recovery as well as Rogue Recovery to no avail it does not seem to work. I'm pretty much as my whit's end here and was wondering if anyone had any possibility of fixing this or do I have a new paperweight?

Any and all Ideas are welcome :) I've tried looking through various other forums along with searching widely for some form of a fix but yeah...

Thanks :)

Same thing just happened to me yesterday. I have tried everything. I have a B90 and i cant get out of CWM Recovery. CWM also won't see my micro sd card.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] chrizz29:
Hi guys!

Just about the same thing happened to me yesterday.

I was getting tired of ICS-reboots and instability, so i rooted my TF101, installed RomManager and flashed CWM 5.5.0.4.

When CWM couldn't see my MicroSD I ended up putting the zips on internal memory and flashed both a full wipe script and Android Revolution HD 3.0.1. This worked fine.

However - when I reboot my Transformer, it always reboots into CWM instead of booting normally. To get it to reboot normally, I do the following:

- Power on and then hold [Vol Down] until there is small white print at the top of the screen

- Wait about 5 seconds

- Press [Vol Up] to perform a "cold boot", which basically boots your Transformer normally

I too would like to know how to stop the default CWM-boot.

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Christian

[General Questions and Answers] chrizz29:
Hi again!

Last night I stayed up late trying to fix this - and guess what...it worked! :)

It took some searching on XDA and Google to find the solution.

Everything you need to flash a working recovery is in the first post of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1530337

I flashed the following recovery: "CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 roach-tf101-r2" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1213723)

At first the command "adb shell" wouldn't work in Windows command prompt. Found out that the Asus adb-drivers were not installed correctly, so I had to update the drivers manually in Windows (downloaded them from Asus' support-site).

I didn't have to push the recovery to the internal memory, as it was already there from my previous attempts.

Fire away if you have any questions!

Edit: And by the way - afterwards I was able to flash Krakd 1.5.2, which I'm running now. ICS can wait for now - I need it to more stable...

Regards,

Christian :cool:

[General Questions and Answers] xordos:
I got the same problem after play around with ROMManager, following is how to fix it.

Credit goes to here: http://blog.vegeby.nu/post/20159305108/transformer-always-booting-recovery-solution

As Christian mentioned in post #3, press Vol- with Power to boot into Android normally, then do following in either adb or Terminal app:

Step 0:

su

(to switch to root mode, the prompt should change to #)

Step 1:

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

this will print something like following

==========

boot-recovery

x......#4r8$)#*0

==========

(5 to 10 lines garbage text except first line)

Make sure the first line is "boot-recovery", if not, DO NOT CONTINUE.

Step 2:

Then, run following command carefully, make sure it is correct:

echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0

it should say some thing like 5 bytes write

Step 3: (Optional, you can reboot now, if you are curious, run this step to see/verify the changes we just did)

Then run the cat cmd again:

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

this will print something like following

==============

boot

recovery

x......#4r8$)#*0

===============

(same garbage text except first line now is only "boot")

Now, a normal reboot should boot to Android by default.

Again, do this at your own risk, if you are not comfortable do this, maybe you can try flash other ROM (like Post #7) see if they overwrite above partition.

Cheers,

xordos

Edit: if the cat cmd cause many garbage chars and even corrupt the display, please try following command to only display first 2 lines:

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 | head -2

[General Questions and Answers] Nomadadon:
Still Stuck

I tried the above, no change. Every reboot goes to recovery.

One thing I noticed, when it boots to recovery it always claims to be 5.5.0.4 even though RomManager claims I'm on 5.8.2.1. I tried rolling to 5.8.2.0 and back, even to 5.5.0.4 and back to 5.8.2.1. but every boot goes to recovery and claims to be 5.5.0.4.

Asus TF101 problem

I did the cat of the block device and it throws many pages of binary data. I am pretty sure I saw the boot-recovery go by but it crashed my connectbot.
[General Questions and Answers] xordos:
Oh, i see, can you try following command then:

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 | head -2

(I updated my original post too)

If you still see "boot-recovery" in first line, then it means the "dd" cmd is not successful, please make sure you are root (step 0, su is doing this) when you run the dd. Or you can run command "id" and double check.
[General Questions and Answers] Nomadadon:
TF101

Same think couple pages of binary goes blowing by. If I do head -1 I get "boot-recovery" then write:Broken pipe.

---------- Post added at 03:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 AM ----------

I just redid the echo | dd part. hte Head -2 showed boot and boot-recovery as it should. I rebooted and booted into recovery 5.4.0.4 again. After the reboot the "boot" is missing from the block head output.

That part concerns me also, according to rom manager I'm on 5.8.something but every time I boot into recovery I'm in the same 5.4.0.4. it's like I have 2 recoveries chained or something.
[General Questions and Answers] xordos:
OK, yeah, then your setup is weird, looks like some boot code overwrite that block and set it back to boot-recovery. Maybe you can try clean it up by flashing some ROM and/or cwm again?

Hi, yes, I actually see roach another thread which is for transformer TF101, and installed that touch recovery, it (along with the dd command from the RED text) resolve my recovery loop problem completely.

OK I am having this issue on the 5.5.0.4 and my problem which havent seen anyone talk about is the fact that when you connect the usb cable it connecting to the the computer but not communicating therefore you cant adb push and cant install anything into the sd to flash a new recovery which would be able to fix this problem in 1 min.

I was told that this is because CM9 and CWM just dont like to work together. Please let me know what you guys think. I have my prime at tech shop right now since yesterday and they are doing research because they havent seen this problem either.
[General Questions and Answers] Evo4sickness:
Updating this writing from my Prime had it since yesterday and very happy that its back to life again. The real solution for anyone running CWM is to buy the latest touch version which has been made to run wigh CM9 and had no problems. But the CWM team needs to also not be putting out versions which can really mess with your tablet. As developers as they have this responsibility for us the users of their software. At least inform people that your software has combability problems with CM9.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siberx:
I've been trying to recover some space on my Nexus one and have been largely successful in doing so with a combination of tricks, but while looking at my partitions and tallying up the numbers something didn't seem to be adding up right; the unit is supposed to have 512MB flash, but I was coming up about 60MB short.

I found this thread which discusses the partition layout of the N1; the sizes they show all seem to match up well with what my device shows. Now, the hex address of the end of the last partion (user data) ends just a couple MB short of 512MB; the start of the first partion (misc) however seems to start over 60MB into the memory space... is there a reason for this, and if so what's occupying those lowest 63.75MB of flash space?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Baseband, AKA "radio", is what you're looking for. Unless you want your Nexus not to boot anymore, it's not advisable to try and repartition baseband space.

Instead of working hard and uselessly wasting effort, use A2SD or any other kind of linking to SD-mounted EXT partition. No matter what you try, Nexus doesn't have nearly enough internal space for any common use.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siberx:
That answers my question, thank you.

As I mentioned in my original message, I was successful in freeing enough space on my device; a combination of moving apps and libraries (copy to system/lib and symlink back to original location) into the system partition and clearing out bulky or unnecessary apps has left me with over 60MB of free data space without even having to resort to fancy A2SD business (just normal android move to SD card). I was simply curious about what was filling in the remaining space on the flash chip and the radio pretty much fits the bill.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
