[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adelmundo:
If you do a search on XDA, there is a hacked Samsung email app that bypasses or removes the mandatory locking. Unfortunately it has not been updated for a while. think it's in the Nexus S development forum. Other than that you can purchase the Touchdown email app which only forces you to put in your lock code when you open your corporate email, and you can keep your phone unlocked. The drawback of this is the app is like $20 or $30 dollars.. Finally there is Enhanced Email in the Google Play store for $10 which has the ability to disable Exchange security policies.

after a few hrs of figuring this out i finally figured out how to do the start menu run cmd. then cd/ then androidsdk/tools blah blah now im inside the sdktools thingy with the command thingy what do i do now do i put all of this adb shell

su

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

busybox sed -i 's|ro.sf.lcd_density=.*|ro.sf.lcd_density=YOURLCDDENSITYHERE|g' /system/build.prop

reboot

in there then click enter? thats what the guy told me but he wasnt very detailed with the directions its the guy who made the app root tools the app that bootlooped my phone changing the density on my admire now i need to change it back wwhat do i do now that im inside the thing on the command line? plz im soooo close to fixing my phone :)
[General Questions and Answers] JDMo:
More info please!

We need to know the model of your phone and also, where it said YOURLCDDENSITYHERE you should have replaced that with the density you need. But I don't think you should be rooting your phone unless you have a big budget for new ones or you have phone insurance. Bad things are bound to happen.
[General Questions and Answers] asking_alexandria27:
i have a samsung admire sch-720 :) and my phone is already rooted :/ oh i knew bout the density thing i just copied and pasted his directions lol just told me in the command thing says that command isnt recognised or something like that

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .OmEgA:
As the title states I'm wondering what you guys have that's comparable to NSTools? My roommate picked up a LTE GNex and I'm helping him set it up but as far as I go, I'm a NS4G guy and don't know the ins and outs of the GNex. For those who are not familiar with NSTools, its an app that controls your governors, scheduler, volts, CPU and everything else along those lines. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarokx:
Ezekeel (or however you spell it) and Franco both have apps similar to NSTools. Check their threads in the dev section.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KenInME:
Given how bad Samsung Galaxy S2's GPS accuracy is using the stock Samsung Gingerbread firmware, I'm curious to know if Samsung got the GPS issues fixed in ICS?

Using the standard Samsung ICS firmware, how many satellites are folks able to lock on to? What kind of accuracy are you getting? How long does it take to get a lock?

Before I upgrade to ICS, I'd like to know what I can expect.

Thanks for any answers. :)

P.S. I've spent a few hours reading through S2 ICS threads for any mention of GPS performance and have found only one post that mentioned how long it was taking someone to get a lock indoors, which isn't a fair test of GPS ability.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielmelo:
I've been using ICS for a while now, (Since betas - december) and all I can say is that it fixes faster than GB stock...

I'm using now the Bezke 4.1 ICS rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1393569), and it feels great!

I don't know about other users (from other countries and stuff) but for me is working really great!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
With CM9 & the AGPS patch in my sig, I can normally get 10m accuracy (sometimes 5). Outside takes around 10-20 seconds to get a lock, inside 30 seconds to a minute (and I live in a house with an iron roof so it's not ideal for GPS or even phone signals to get thru).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KenInME:
This sounds like they fixed the GPS issue. Using the stock Gingerbread, I could never get my S2 to do better than about 25m. Rooted with the GPS fix I found here I'm getting 5-10m regularly. Really, the only reason I rooted in the first place was to fix the GPS. I'd be quite happy with a non-rooted S2 if it didn't have GPS issues.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Most GB firmware and phones never had GPS issues .

Its not a widely reported problem on XDA and like many my GB phone never had a problem from firmware KDD onwards .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KenInME:
My S2 (GT-I9100) was sent to me from someone in France. Most of the time it would only lock to around 50m accuracy and only occasionally lock to 25m accuracy. Once I got it rooted and installed the GPS fix it worked fine. It will lock to 10m pretty quickly and then after a bit on a clear day lock down to 5m.

My concern is I don't want to go to ICS if I'll lose my 5m accuracy ability.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Personal opinion ICS is not worth the upgrade yet .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KenInME:
This is the advice I need to hear. The only real reason I'd want to upgrade to ICS is to try Google Chrome browser. As a web dev it would be useful to see how my sites do on it, but I'm not keen to live on the bleeding edge either. The last thing I want to do is screw up my GPS lock or WiFi abilities... or for that matter, brick my phone again (that majorly sucked).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fida khan:
Well said jj
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simplesi:
JFI I'm a heavy GPS user as I have my own speed limit app which I programmed up in the days when I had an HTC Desire.

When I got my S2, I found the GPS performance to be much worse than my old Desire and I had to alter the programming of the app to cope with the worse accuracy obtained on the S2 (which was particulaly noticeable during first few mins of using GPS)

I say all this so that you know I really use gps all the time :)

Since upgrading to ICS a week ago ( the O2 LP3 firmware), the accuracy at first use of a GPS app (Google Maps or my own speed limit one) has improved enormously and I have been able to revert my app to its old settings.

I think a lot of people who say there was nothing wrong with the GPS didn't really rely on it and it was good enough for their own personal use (either that of there is a strange bug that only affects certain ones :) )

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axelian57:
They dit fix it !!

Hi from France,

i have galaxy s2 since 1 year and GPS accuracy was important for me (walking, geocaching...)

it was crap with gingerbread and i had to buy a bluetooth gps device to have a decent accuracy (5 m for example)

i never root or else to the phone, only official updates.

I got ICS a few weeks ago...and wow, S2 is at last accurate. It is quicker and around 10 m accurate after 10 seconds (with a gps) and sometimes 5m after a few seconds more.

When i check coordinates on google maps or other soft they are really around 5 meters accurate.

So i did no longer need my bluetooth device....i used S3 yesterday : it has 2x more satellites in view (russian ones + american ones). But accuracy wasn't better than a "up to date" galaxy S2...

never forget that 5 meters is the best to expect from those devices, even "trekking GPS" are around 5-10 meters... only military devices (with payment) can have a better precision (around 10 cm.....)

Yes folks, Galaxy S2 has now a REAL gps device inside, and that's a pretty good news, ICS must be the reason !

Hello

I am from India. The GPS on ICS is pretty good.

10 seconds lock in an open area and 30 seconds inside the house.

I must say its pretty great.. Way better than the gingerbread.:good:

What GPS??

I bought my S2 with GB on it. Later I upgraded to CM9.1. Up till today (1 week of using it) I have never seen my S2 got GPS lock. I started to wonder if Samsung forget to install GPS on my phone. Compared to Xperia and Zte Blade, S2 is huge in size and performance but no GPS lock. I have try a few different rom ( GB, ICS & JB) and all of them has no GPS lock. Must be they forgot to install GPS on my phone :confused:

[Motorola Atrix 2] Vahnyyz:
ok, so weird issue for me.. and idk if anyone else is experiencing it cause it doesn't seem like it.. I'm getting wifi error (and before anyone says anything about my router, it's already configured). It just won't turn on no matter what. I hit it, it says a grayed out "Turning On..." and then error again. No attempt or anything. I go into wifi settings and everything under Wi-Fi is grayed out, that's the network notification at&t wifi hot spot setting and wifi networks. I've been trying hard and absolutely no resolution. A google search only affords me more "fixes" for my router and that's not the issue. If i can get a referral somewhere else that doesn't talk about the router being the issue then i'd greatly appreciate it.

**update**

sorry for the "vote for.." whatever it says, i didn't mean to i was trying to subscribe so please don't get upset about it. kthksgb
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
I've never heard of that error before so I don't know. Are you rooted? What version of Android are you running? What I'd do is backup all your apps, text messgs, contacts, etc., and do a factory reset and see if that fixes it. Worst case scenario you could flash a fresh new version of 2.3.5 via RSD Lite and you'd almost surely have the problem fixed, unless it's a hardware issue.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Vahnyyz:
I actually started off on 2.3.5 with the issue, and then i started having problems with my ability to actually get past FB, so i had to do a the rsd fix where i force stock on there again. From that point since it still wasn't working I went and pushed ota which took forever and got onto blaze hoping/praying that it would finally work after that. ultimately nothing worked so I'm here now at the mercy of the forum hoping some guru might have something that I could try.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Wow brother, if you flashed the 2.3.5 fxz to it and still had the problem, i'm thinking there's a hardware issue.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Vahnyyz:
yea, i figured. so i've already contacted motorola and since i'm still under warranty i can return it and they'll send me another one. them's the break, but i got 2 weeks before i even have to decide on that so its not something i'm rushing towards lol

wifi error afterusing motofast fast script 2.3.5

i am having the same problem also. it just started right after i did the "flash back to 2.3.5 moto fast script" the first time i used it everything was fine but this time ..which i did the same process....i am getting that same error.and when i try to ota to 2.3.6 it says that i need to turn on wifi ????since then i have tried factory reset and still had the issue.then i rooted 2.3.5 and using cwm i was able to restore a backup.so now i am back on 2.3.6 and i am still having the same problem.i have tried a few wifi fixer apps from the playstore but nothing seems to work. and i still dosnt want to OTA without wifi working :confused........so it seems like there is something nthat went wrong with the motofast script or something got erased ???i hope this will help to try and figure out a solution ......btw im new to this somewhat so please bare with me
[Motorola Atrix 2] souljaboy:
only once did i have problem with wifi on this phone and i never fixed it on 2.3 ...

after a lot of trial and error though, i got it fixed with upgrading to ics.

other than that, does your bluetooth do the same? because symptoms like these usually mean water damage. you might want to check the indicators, (if the a2 has any) --- if you broke your wifi by updating rom, this probably isnt the case.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 41rw4lk:
I noticed that the description for the wlan interface is different in the build.prop between GB and ICS. So you might check your /system/build.prop.

Look for this towards the top of your build.prop

# wlan interface
wifi.interface = tiwlan0
softap.interface = tiap0

In GB wifi.interface = tiwlan0

In ICS wifi.interace = wlan0

So make sure the value is correct, if the value is wrong it will show your wifi "greyed out" in the settings. Anyway, it's something to try, and I hope that helps. If you change the value, make sure you reboot then check to see if it is fixed.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Vahnyyz:
Since I don't know if anyone is still looking into this at all because I haven't seen many updates to this thread, I'm wondering if anyone has checked the kernal information. I was able to do some searching (btw I haven't sent in my atrix 2 in yet because of work) and I found that there was some issues in regards to the Kernal. I don't know if thats true or not but I would like to see someone test it out or try it out or what have you and see if they can shed some light on the situation because the situation is rather bleek, and i'd rather not have to send in a perfectly good phone that was working just fine before the flash, and still wouldn't work after reflashing the AT&T rom.

You cant compare a BB to Amaze first of all the amaze is 1.5Ghz dual core compared to 500 mhz single core, GPU, 4.3 inch screen compared to the what 2.6 non touch screen? resolution? IMO BB blows i have a 9700 as a back up phone though.
