[Kindle Fire General] quarlow:
The TouchPad's version of CM9 took a few revisions for hardware acceleration for HD video content, but alpha 2 fixed that. I've been using the TouchPad's since alpha 0.5 as a daily driver. In all those revisions and ROMs I have never had the speaker issue you mention in android. Before CM9 I would get that occasionally in webOS. I have only had wifi issues with CM7, CM9 and webOS have had solid stable wifi. From what I understand its more about the router channel than anything else. Overlapping SSIDs on the same channel causes the issue, and changing the channel on the router usually fixes it. My sound is great. Now that HW accel works HD YouTube looks and sounds great. Hulu+ and Netflix look great and sound perfect. There is no camera support, and I think that's very low on the priority list. You can always switch to webOS for video chat. Note that you cannot remove webOS, you dual boot. That's part of the issue with reboot to recovery. You cannot boot directly into recovery. When you power up you get a boot menu, after 5 seconds android boots. But, from that menu you can select recovery or webOS. I use a delay of 1 second because its very rare for me to need to boot to recovery or webOS. I have never checked the mic, so I can't comment on that, again though, it will work in webOS. With the TP don't discount webOS. Its stable, snappy, elegant, and intuitive. I thought it was better than CM7. The only thing it lacks is apps. The browser is great, and supports flash.

On Black Friday I had a Kindle Fire in my cart on Amazon, hoping for a black Friday deal. I saw an ad for the TouchPad for $99, and after 30 seconds of research I knew I wanted that instead. I ended up getting one for $195 NIB. To me a tablet is mainly an internet device, and a web browsing device. The 10" vs 7" screen makes a world of difference. Its still just as portable, but that extra screen makes web browsing basically desktop class. The TouchPad also has the TouchStone, the inductive charger. I never have to mess with cables, and never see battery below 75% because after a few hours of use I put it on the charger. Those sold for $90 new, but you can get then $40 easy. Plus the HP case is really nice for $15 usually. To me is was a no brainer. But I'm someone that has been on xda for years, flashing a ROM every week. When my family ask what to get I always recommend the Kindle Fire over the nook, and over the TP. The Amazon app store alone tips the scales over any nook advantage. But, those are users that need the device to work out of box, and consistently, without any hacking. I would still bet on the Kindle Fire getting more support here.

Sorry to derail the thread ...

ive got a Kindle Fire and for 200 bucks, you cant beat it. i rooted mine before the update, so i dont know how difficult it is to root on 6.2.2 (which i believe is the newest firmware), but i believe someone has gotten it done
[Kindle Fire General] kingsway8605:
Right lol...If your intention is rooting and using cm, buying a first gen android tablet for about the same price makes much more sense. It is something with the aspect ratio, I had numerous apps not behave correctly when going from landscape to portrait, and the software volume control options on cm7 were hideous. The tablet is great if you intend on using it in conjunction with prime as amazon intended though.

I have a Tab 10.1 WiFi running Task 14 with Pershoot's Kernal (not overclocking).

I find that Gmail won't sync in the background. I have to manually load the Gmail app for it to sync and show me new/changed messages. I have Wifi sleep policy set to never and background sync enabled in the settings.

How do I get Gmail to automatically sync?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallgrasshawk:
I've had that happen before. Just clear data for gmail app and it should be good to go then.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmagritte:
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this and at first thought it worked but it hasn't. Gmail has gone back to not autoupdating until I manually launch the app...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Have you checked your sync settings?

Go to settings > accounts & sync > your gmail account > check sync gmail is checked.

It's normally pretty good at indicating on one of the latter screens whether there are sync issues or not.

You need to do it manually in sync as he said ^

[Atrix 4G General] wilf1234:
Hi guys,

I'm totally confused and frustrated.

I used Runkeeper on my first Atrix succesfully for 6-months - the Atrix then died and I had it replaced. The new Atrix still worked brilliantly, getting a GPS lock almost immediately, but over the last month or so, the CPS seems to be all over the shop.

It takes an age to lock on and then the accuracy has dropped off.

couple of thoughts:

1) I use Google Latitude, it also worked flawlessly on my first Atrix, but the new Atrix didn't update my position on Latitude anywhere near as well as the first Atrix from day one.

2) I installed the Great Land Grab and also MapMyRide a few weeks ago - these worked really well first of all, but in the last month have been rubbish - not seeming to get a GPS position without endless rebooting and restarting of Apps etc.

3 Using GPS status - if I stand in a middle of a field, reset the datat and download new data - the quickest I can get a GPS fix recently has been circa 50 seconds - I've no idea what the time was before this all started happening.

Is there anything else I can do other than reformat the phone (I've already removed MapMy ride and several other fringe apps that I thought may have had a gingerbread issue or similar)

Cheers

Wilf

If this is a question then use Q&A section and if its not then plz give little more info like ROM, Kernel, Bootloader (locked or unlocked) and finally plz dont take this the wrong way but have u used the search option of xda-developers. Trust me its free and fast and if u use it correctly ull find out that almost 95% of the problems u might have are already addressed.
[Atrix 4G General] abomb78:
Start reading up on the different radios available for the Atrix. I have read some since my gps takes a while to lock on too. Reports of increased gps fixed times seem to be rampant if you find the right radio for you.
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
I had exactly the same problem and solved with flashing 36p radio. Now GPS lock is in few seconds with all satellite visible and accuracy is great.

How did you flashed the baseband?

maybe this?

[Atrix 4G General] metlca:
I have the same problem, I wanted to download the radio, but file is private?

Will flashing this radio on my International atrix brick anything?
[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Original uploader made it private for some reason. I uploaded it again on my account: http://www.mediafire.com/?7y8k6f6797bw3bf

In my previously post you can find link for servers where is hosted a lot of radio and other files. Currently is down.
[Atrix 4G General] abomb78:
I did exactly what Zeljko1234 said and I will test out the 36p baseband on my lunch break with GPS Status and see how long it takes. This morning in my car it took 143 seconds.
[Atrix 4G General] abomb78:
37P did the trick. GPS lock in like 6s or less all the time now.
[Atrix 4G General] Etherstorm:
36p vs 37p

I'm using baseband 36p currently and the gps has worked flawlessly, my girlfriend has an unrooted atrix which is on 37p and was having major issues with finding location on maps, so I figured maybe is was the baseband. I switched my rooted atrix over to 37p and didn't have any problems with GPS either. Then she insisted it has to be a hardware problem, I figured "user error" was more likely, but instead of pointing that out I wiped her data on maps and BAM! her location updated for the first time in 5 weeks.
[Atrix 4G General] metlca:
How did you wipe the data?

And which data exactly?

Is baseband 36 or 37 better for GPS ?

What's the best one?
[Atrix 4G General] Etherstorm:
I just went into manage apps and cleared data for maps in there. I have been using 36, but they both seem very stable.

Quick question, what is the correct and easiest way to clear the Dalvik cache on stock? I updated to ICS from GB and want to clean the Dalvik.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tris:
Just flash one of Chainfires CF-Root kernels through ODIN and boot into clockwork recovery then run the Clear Dalvik option. Job done.:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
But of course you no longer have stock as you have changed the kernel .

Update would have wiped it anyway .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tris:
JJ is correct, if it was an official update through kies then don't worry about it. I would only bother about Dalvik if you start to get flash happy with custom ROMS.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyaku_zuki:
cheers guys, i guess if it wiped during the flash then no worries :)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFePo4:
How did you dev unlock your phone?

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

I have a new theory. There have been people reporting loosing their IU very recently. I also know someone asked if the HTCHUB update could do that and I am now thinking it might be the cause.

I do not have the HTCHUB installed and I still have IU. My wifes phone has HTCHUB BUT not running in the background and still has IU. I just looked and saw HTCHUB has an update - I deleted HTCHUB form my wifes phone and did not allow the update.

Is it possible HTC HUBs update pushes new drivers that break IU????? I know GDTD said it could be possible. It is ironic to see the lose of IUs for not apparent reason and a HTC Hub update.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
A) I had the spontaneous re-lock problem, and don't use HTC Hub.

B) The HTC HUB app is an app like any other, aside from the fact that it uses ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES. All of its files are in the install directory or data directory (download the XAP and see for yourself, if you want).

3) HTC drivers are stored in ROM. Nothing short of a CAB update can change them.

4) Even using ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES, HTC Hub has no more access to the phone than any other app requiring interop-unlock. Once the v2 or later drivers are installed, it couldn't write the MaxUnlockedApp registry value even if the devs wanted to.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] QWIKSTRIKE:
The sprint Galaxy Nexus will be launched soon, and I was wondering who will be looking to buy this phone. Since the 1st launch specs have mysteriously been pulled it seems there is no official knowledge of whether there will be a 1.5 cpu, or the same specs as the Verizon version. Sprint's newer ad's only show a picture of the phone with vague basic information.

We know that LTE is not rolling out for a while, bu we still bought the EVO 4G. We also know that the LTE band probably will change in the future, but my Photon is still getting Wimax 4G when I am in NYC. I am looking for my 1st Google experience, with a great display, and NFC. I also hope that the antenna, and GPS issues are fixed!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twiztidninja:
Man can't believe there gonna real ease this phone on sprint I feel bad for anyone that gets it in the phoenix area
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I think its pretty safe to assume it will be 1.2ghz.

Google isn't going to want to fragment their baby in that manner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
If I was still on Sprint I would get it. Well I did get it but jumped to Verizon for it. Now I have a great phone on a great network...

Don't know what GPS issues you are talking about either...GPS is totally fine on the device.

As far as radios, seems like there might have been some bad hardware. If your device isn't defective then the radio's are just fine...

I think Sprint's version will have other issues it might face as a first device on a brand new LTE network.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I don't think there will be any LTE issues for it on Sprint. After all, it will be available almost nowhere to be able to have it drop or be unstable. /potshot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Haha...good point
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malibu_23:
i'm confident that this will be the same exact version as the Verizon CDMA variant. no gpu updates/no 1.5 clock/no LTE. these are always pipe dreamed whenever a carrier releases it after another has had it. Sammy aint puttin in any more into a phone that wont be a top seller anyway. because only 10-15% of the droid population even know what the nexus is. Apple/HTC/MOTO will get those newbie sales.

pretty much buying this phone cuz i love my nexus S 4g, and just looking for a more capable hardware to run ICS

the 3g will suck like it does now/the LTE rollout will be shaky at best/and no wimax to bail out the crappy 3g speeds

My expectations are right where they need to be. I bought the evo 4g on launch day and after that i learned "it is what it is."

but my major buying point of this over the coveted SGSIII is the fact that i KNOW the GN will run the next iteration of android (Jelly Bean?) before any phone that released this generation will. Ive been around long enough to realize that only newer/vanilla phones get the upgrades. (2.2/2.3/4.0) say what you want about the nexus s, but it was first to run ICS officially/unofficially. meanwhile people with the best hardware spec'd phone SGSII/Epic Touch are running BETAs of it at best...

so the GN will still be relevant a year from now. just the nexus s is still relevant to any1 not on verizion or whoever copped the EU version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Just sad how late its coming out. And even still, LTE will be a joke for the next year at least on Sprint.

I made the mistake of buying the Evo 4G on launch day expecting WiMax to be good. Wouldn't make that mistake again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chlehqls:
I made the mistake of signing a new contract with them last year for the EVO 3D. Good thing a new material change last month allowed me to jump ship to T-mobile. What a joke of a carrier...

I cannot wait to get this phone.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] glitchsys:
I'm looking to get my first Android tablet. I've always rooted and run custom firmware on my Android phones, so I need a "cheap" Android tablet with a healthy developer community and a lot of support.

My first thought was to go for the $250 Nook Tablet, spec for spec it's better than the Kindle Fire; but didn't an update come out for it recently that made rooting it near impossible or so highly difficult that it hasn't been done yet?

Then the $200 Kindle Fire came to mind, very popular tablet must mean a very healthy/active hacking/dev community right? But isn't it also locked down in such a way it can't be rooted or modified anymore? I need a working Android Market (Oh I'm sorry, I mean <sarcasm>Play Store</sarcasm>) and good custom ROM's including ICS.

Then I see a $189 Lenovo A1 Tablet at Best Buy with decent specs. It's running Android 2.3 which I'd normally prefer over Android 3.0/Honeycomb but now that ICS/Android 4.0 is out, I'd definately want to run that on my tablet.

So is ICS running very good/stable on any sub $300 Android tablet? I wonder when the $250 Tegra3 based tablet from Asus (or is it Acer...) comes out. Suggestions on which route to go?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
You should really do some reading/research because almost all of your perceptions are way off.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] glitchsys:
Yeah, I plan on researching it to no end. That's what I tend to do, read through the various forums, FAQ's, etc. I don't purchase blindly (even for a 'budget' tablet), but before I did I wanted to drop these questions out there to see if somebody who's a lot more familiar with these devices has an opinion or if somebody who's already done a lot of research could pipe in. I wanted to use a combo of my own research and direct recommendations/observations from people more familiar with this Android tablets than I. I'm more into the Android Phone hacking community, I've rooted many various Android models and have run a lot of custom firmwares on various models. I'm sure I'll adapt quickly enough to the tablet scene but while I'm getting my feet wet I was hoping to hear from more experienced people.

Basic research leads me to believe the Nook Tablet has superior hardware but not as active a dev community as the others. It's a shame cause the hardware is nice. The only real ICS ROM for the Nook Tablet is Alpha status with a lot of known bugs, no where near daily driver ready. But CM7 seems to be a popular ROM for this tablet and it seems to be stable enough for Daily Driver status. I'm leaning more toward the Kindle Fire as they have ICS with only 3 real main known issues (HW Acceleration, 720p Video and Bluetooth). But I'm also seeing that they have CM9 running on the HP Touchpad (which has the best HW out of all these devices) but they have several more known issues. I like that the HP Touchpad can dual boot webos and Android though, always wanted to play with WebOS and the superior HW is nice (I mean it was a $500 tablet in its hay-day). Still researching.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lenardo:
The main problem is. initially the nook tablet was-and still is- locked down tighter than a virgin princess with a chastity belt, thus we only had a few devs working on it as most abandoned the tablet and moved to the fire/other tablets/phones, but we had adam and indirect and a few others tinker and twist and mangle and mutilate the tablet until we are where we are.

cm9 is behind the cm7 team only because they decided to do the 3.0 kernel? vs the 2.6.7(or something like that), and the 3.0 kernal has been giving them...issues that they are resolving one by one.

the cm7 team, conversely, has had an easier time since they ported the nook color's cm7, tweaked of course, and are fixing things that are/were not working correctly.

HW accellaration/720p accell is working on cm7,

bluetooth and multitouch(more tha 2 at a time) are on the list of things to get done BUT, B&N did not include the "key" to activate the bluetooth(and fm radio) part of the chip so that is WAY down on the list of things to do.

if the nook tablet was "exactly" like the kindle fire for bootup/hackability, then it would be way ahead of the kindle fire at this time, but due to the initial problems the devs had getting root/breaking the bootchain to install alternate OS's....they are behind.

hardware wise the NT is better than the kindle fire,

personally my next tablet will -most likely- be the new asus that is coming out in a few months (tegra quad core) that is going to be 250.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Yes to the first part, no to the second part. You're mistaking size with activity. The Nook tablet community is one of the most active communities I've encountered among ~12 devices that I've followed. Its small and tight knit but people are working constantly. Pop into the IRC channel or read some of the threads and you'll see that.

True. But again, dedicated developers working hard on it.

Yep. I have a Xoom with ICS and I'm anxious for CM9, but CM7 is more than adequate for what I use the NT for.

Meh. The fire is simply a sub par device. The lack of an sd slot is a deal breaker for me as well. The only reason it got more hype than the Nook tablet is because of the $50 cheaper price tag. If B&N had released the 8GB NT first or at the same time as the 16GB tablet, you'd hear a lot more about it.

Think about it. Most people don't know much about specs and what not. They look at the price, see that the two devices are very similar but one is $50 cheaper. B&N really dropped the ball here.

HP Touchpad is a great device (I snagged 5 on the firesale and resold 4, kept one for a while for tinkering then gave it to a friend), but here you're talking about completely different form factor. Its a 9.7" I think? It is however being worked on by the official CM team and those guys are extremely dedicated. And I know quite a few people that use the latest CM9 Alpha as a daily driver. And I think they got Netflix working on it (not 100% sure though, haven't checked it in a few weeks).

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

This was for the first Alpha release. Alpha Final is a build from scratch for the Nook tablet.

Rumors of a nexus tablet around the same time (possibly built by Asus, for Google).

If that happens, the nexus tablet will likely be the way to go (unless it doesn't have an sd slot).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] glitchsys:
Very nice info. Thanks guys. Yeah I'm leaning toward HP Touchpad ($225) or a Kindle Fire for ($140) used. But if a good deal on a Nook Tablet comes along, at least I know I can drop CM7 on it and it'll run good; bluetooth doesn't concern me that much, but multi-touch is fairly important.
