[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I've never had problems with a stock ROM and GPS (despite ever being on 2 stock ROMs..), though a common problem for GPS woes seems to be the /system/etc/gps.conf file. Give it a new, local ntp server, let it redownload xtra.bin (either delete or use gps status or something like that). Give it an internet connection for 2 mins and all should be well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spidey111:
Same thing happening to me

Hey there,

Wow, glad I found this thread! I am having the exact same issue as callison.168. The only difference that I can see is that I have had my Nexus S for a year and a half and have never had any problems with the GPS. But at the beginning of last week, the GPS just disappeared, and my phone has been looking for it ever since. The two apps that use it are Google Maps and Waze. Both provide turn-by-turn navigation, and both present with the same issue: Searching for GPS.

Now here's the kicker: my wife has the Nexus S as well (we got them at the same time) and HER PHONE ISN'T WORKING EITHER right about the same time mine stopped!

Both of our phones are stock, ICS 4.0.4, and they are not rooted. I called T-Mobile to check to see if there were any GPS outages in my area, but there were none.

Harbb, how do I go about doing what you suggested? I have GPS Status, but I don't see an option to get a new local NTP server. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

- Pete
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojoost:
I usually use fasterfix after every rom I flash, but it needs root..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
You'll need root to do what i suggested above. GPS Status may also be of help just by deleting some basic data which you can probably do without root but i'm not sure on this one. GPS satellites essentially don't have any kind of outage problems we need to worry about.

One thing you can do is turn on a gps app, let it look for a signal with the GPS on and let it sit outside looking for 15 mins, or turn data on too and let it help get a signal for several minutes. Let it refresh all of the time specific GPS information sent through GPS. If data doesn't work, turn data off and try GPS only a few hours later, remember for about 15 minutes (gps signals have very low-speed data transfer speeds..).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjay3333:
I use maps and Waze daily and don't have this issue. There are drops of course but it reconnects. I would root and do what @harbb suggested above, about the server. This is better service and tech support than what you'll get at Best Buy. :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigaTiger:
Try the google apps: FasterFix and GPS Status. Just recalibrate/reset the GPS. This may help if it is a type of software issue. There are more issues you may want to take in mind.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifeofbean:
Personally, I've done all of this - no luck. If I sit outside on a clear day with GPS Status running, it eventually gets a signal from ONE satellite after 10-15 minutes. The GPS icon might occasionally blink, and show "Searching for GPS" - otherwise it shows an empty GPS icon in the status bar.

It worked great until about 3 weeks ago. :(

edit: for what it's worth, I used michaelpeerman's One Click Return to Stock, which put stock Gingerbread back on. Immediately got a GPS lock in Google Maps, indoors even. Just flashed CM9 back on and GPS is now working.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shuthefrontdoor:
i haven't been using wifi since i got the one x cause it seems to drain my battery faster then when I'm just connected to cellular data .. what do you guys think .. i've only had the onex 11 days and i already used 2 gigs data with normal usage .. I'm afraid ill be throttled soon when i hit 3 gigs .. i know on my iPhone the wifi used less battery than cellular data
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
I'd say WiFi probably uses more, but it's hard to tell. It could just be that my phone is having trouble locking into my routers signal.. it goes from full bars to 1 every 5 seconds.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shuthefrontdoor:
I'm really hoping the ota update will make wifi use less battery than cellular data, does anyone know if past HTC devices r the same when it comes to wifi vs cellular data for battery life? Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CraigP17:
Wifi uses less in my experiences. Most of my day is spent in a building where signal is weak which drains my battery. I find if I use Wifi battery life is significantly better.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UMGixxer:
wifi uses less for me as well
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] checkride:

thats great to hear that people have been having better screen time with wifi ... i haven't really given wifi the chance to prove to me it can be better ... ill have to experiment .. now if only i had lte!! i wanna feel the sPEEd!! i can't believe i still don't have lte and i live in s.florida!!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
Any details on this would be good. Is it going to be similar to g nexus notification led which has to be the best, you can choise different colours etc?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venekor:
Says RGB LED notification which suggests to me it can produce almost any colour.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
That's brilliant, its a small feature but essential inmho. Not much info about this feature so thanks for sharing this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
I have found it kinda surprising that no on has touched on the led notifacations in reviews yet. The question in my mind isn't just is it an umlimited color palatte but also does it work before you pickup the handset? On the N1 you could see across the room that you had an email, text, etc. and this is what I'm hoping for with this phone. It has little point if you have to pick up the phone to light the led.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiahnlliya:
I didn't know some phones worked like that? I mean that you have to pick the phone up in order for the LED to light up... Which phones work like that? That sounds like a really dumb thing for a phone to do! The point of a notification LED is after all that you should be able to see the notifications without having to pick the phone up to check it, no?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
I'm hoping it's like the Blackberrys. I miss BerryBuzz, had the option to set multiple colours to multiple events.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
If its anything like nexus galaxy I will happy. Mind you had to root device only then was able to use the different colours.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimieo:
I agree! Hopefully they would be more inclined to port BeBuzz over to Android once this device is out.

[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
Hi guys i want to know how to edit the Lockring. I have downloaded APK Manager and M10 Tools. Also i have downloaded a LockRing and i have edited to make a different one. But i dont know where to replace or which file to replace. After i load the fusion in M10 Tools and click on decode images and decompile the skins there aren't images to show. All help is greatly appreciated.

This is the edited lockring i want to change:
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
^^^ I'd like to know this too, for ics sense 4
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
I don't know of you have and installed and set up but you need it. In a adb command window, type in

adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk.

Next type in

adb pull /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk

Put both of these apps I'm the /other/ folder of apkmanager

Ok let's start off with using apkmanager. Open a command prompted in the apkmanager/other/ folder by right clicking the other folder while holding shift. A command window will open.

Type in:

apktool if framework-res.apk

apktool if com.htc.resources.apk

After this apkmanager is set up correctly. Now to the theming....

I need to know which sense you want to theme before I continue.

I'm guessing its ics so what I recommend is using a skin rather than using fusion. It is much easier.

Use 7zip to pull shared.m10 from the skin. It is in assets/skinname/.

Open the shared.m10 in m10editor. Select decode images then click decompile and click yes.

To be continued give me a sec...

By the way two other great threads that helped me a lot are knightwolf's and the interactive phone modification threads.
[HTC EVO 3D] Gumby63:
Are you on sense 3.6/4.0?
[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
Sense 3.6. I did it modifying a skin but i can't do it from the fusion.
[HTC EVO 3D] Gumby63:
Yeah m10 tools doesnt work with fusion as far I know. It needs to be updated.
[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
Hmmm, anyway i can extract the preinstalled skin on the ROM?
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
There is no m10 editor for sense 3.5 and above...
[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
So... Can i extract the skin preinstalled in the ROM or not?
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
are you trying to pull bluesky or burgandy? or is it a custom skin made for that rom?

if its custom yes if its ics stock skins yes and no(the shared m10 for those are in fusion you can pull it from there and the apk to match but you can't use m10 to mod it(unless you pull the shared m10 from a different skin and swap it out)
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
^^^ What he said...
[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
It is a custom skin made for the Rom. I tried with the fusion but no images. I had to use a base skin in apk i had but i want to extract and use as a base the custom skin that comes with the ROM
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
I don't think you can do that...
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
you cant use stock fusion(for anything),now if its a custom skin then you can swap out the shared m10 from any 3.0 theme or skin(you will have to recolor all the pngs in the new skin to match(if need be) but you can change the lockring(one of the two(not the one that shows up when you pull icons that will stay stock)
[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
Could you tell me what i am doing wrong? Always i try to compile the apk i receive this error. I have changed the LockRing and some textures with M10 Tools but i want to change the name and the preview images in APK but always get this:
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
i cant tell from that screen shot.

1) did you change the name on the assests folder,in values/string and on manifest?(manifest and the folder have to be the same. ie XyZ and XyZ)

2)did you recolor any .9s

3)did you change any other xmls

4)are your apktools,aapt and the 1 and 2 appks up to date
[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
1. Yes, i have changed the name on the folder, Androidmanifest.xml and strings.xml

2. Nope.

3. Nope.

4. It says:

APK Manager v5.0.2

ApkTool v1.4.1

7za v9.20

Roptipng v0.6.3

Sox v14.3.1

Android Asset Packaging Tool v0.2

Ps: Even if i decompile the APK and i try to compile again without any changes im getting the error.
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
i dont use apkmanger, but look around i know fernando sor has posted update 1 and 2 apks, and apktool,aapt
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
You can't change xmls for sense 3.6 skins, or else it won't recompile. Team Elegancia doesn't do that for their skins, they just change picture of the skin, and nothing else. No decompiling is needed to do that. Just signing... That's why they only base their skins on htc skins...

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

I think I have one of the ones he posted...

Here it is: apktoolforonex.zip

And by the way dased14 what are 1 and 2 apks?
[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
If you don't use APK Manager what do you use? M10 Tools doesn't let to change some things like name or previews. Does it?
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
apktool or apk multi-tool also work...
[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
After reading your previous post idk if you read but even if i dont change names or images when i try to build the apk i get the errors.
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
That's what I'm saying there is no need to decompile in the first place. Pull shared.m10 from the skin using 7zip, edit it in m10 tools, save and put it back in using 7zip. Same for the skin picture.
[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
Yes, i haven't problem using and compiling with M10 but there are a few things you can't edit like the clock flips.
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
I've edited the clock flips it works for me...
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
if your getting errors and dont touch anything then you need to get updated apktools,aapt(like i said before fern posted them in the learn to theme thread(fern posted everything you need in there somewhere)
[HTC EVO 3D] Bebida:
Never Mind. Best O luck;)
[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
Hmmm... I have never found the clock flips. I can change the numbers. Also I can't find where the wallpaper is
[HTC EVO 3D] Bebida:
Wallpaper is in assets image hang on and ill get u the flip numbers

Edit flips are

Hey guys I was just messing around on my phone when a question came up and hit me in the head...is there anyway to change the color of the soft keys? Like make them red or blue or rainbow idk...is it even possible or is it part of the screen where you can't just take it apart change some bulbs and be good to go?

Not possible

rainbow lol sorry but i don't think that,s possible. those LED light are probably integrated on the motherboard circuit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Babyj303:
It really wouldnt be that hard if your confident at disassembling and reassembling your phone. Being a skilled solderer would probably be a good idea aswell.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Beefvvl:
Couldn't really tell from the teardown pics. But I'm sure if you find the right diode you can solder the different colored L.E.D. I noticed my cousin's L.E.D. lights on his Skyrocket are more of a cool blue tone instead of white white like ours for this touch keys. I wish ours was more like that. But I'm not about to take my phone apart in case I ever need to do a warranty exchange/fix.

I've seen sense clocks on many other devices trying to imitate the sense's look. Why not just try a custom launcher, you'll do that anyways on any other device
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Archector:
you can always flash a custom AOSP rom like virtuous inquisition or the wajee one and get rid of sense.

I have virtuous ROM, but I'm going ahead and trading my vivid for the nexus s.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MLOB:
Vivid Rocks man , anyday
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
I can't really find a phone worthy to replace my vivid yet. Of course something similar or a little better, yes, bu not that "wow" device. The direction some manufacturers go (no sd card or removable battery, even quad-core with lte) I guess I'll keep it for at least 9-12 more months.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tanner4137:
I just bought the Galaxy Nexus and am LOVING it :D I still have my Vivid, but am thinking of selling it.

Edit: NVM found it...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zeppler:
you can always flash a sensless rom. then you might fall in love with the vivid again. once you rip out sense and att apps, the device starts to perform
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tanner4137:
Want to buy? :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tanner4137:
Thanks, but already tried that! Its pretty close to the Nexus, but I still like the Nexus more :p I highly reccomend BOTH of these phones!

Just wondering what you guys set the EQ at when using Poweramp with Beats turned on? Do you leave the EQ flat or set it?

[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
This is what I have set. Sounds awesome with the beats headphones.
[HTC Rezound] imbeahp:
I used to have this beats toggle in my PoowerAmp, but now it's gone. Can you tell me what version of the app has this, or what I can do to get it back?
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Just DL the latest version from the playstore, it will have the beats setting (it is in the volume screen)
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
I have the latest version 2.0.6 build-508

No Beats in the Tone/Vol menu just Mono there is even no SRS:(

Could it be the rom I'm running dosen't have some files that makes the app know the phone is capable?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Argh! I always hit the thanks button instead of quote!

No, beats is a part of poweramp, it is just an eq setting. It should be there regardless. And actually, I don't have it either.

Hmmmm. You can adjust the stereo x to get a similar effect, but I don't have beats either.
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
I think the app got screwed in an updated, I had it until recently.

Anyone no a good place to get old versions of the apk?
[HTC Rezound] motenak:
I don't think it's the app. Beats won't show up if the ROM you are running doesn't have the Beats files in the correct place and configured correctly. At least that is what I've noticed on my phone.
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
I have Beats and SRS in the Tone/Vol menu and my version is 2.0.6 build-508 but it also shows "Full Version". Mine is the paid app, I'm on the new ICS OTA, rooted, and S-on.

I also use the Phone Speaker (Loud) as the equalizer setting since I tend to use my external speaker frequently and it really boosts the volume. While I'm not sure if this is accurate, but it also seems that the volume is louder with the new ICS.
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
I have the paid version but no beats I've reinstalled the ap and the unlocker several times.
[HTC Rezound] Superm@π:
Anyone figure out how to enable the beats toggle on an AOSP from yet. Works on sense roms only from what I can see.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
It may have something to do with the stock music player.

But I think it just needs the beats files.
