Need a name of a HTV EVO Roms which could improve GPS signal ? N it should hav all other feature working. Plzzzz help, thanx :)

You should try using the search feature, or Google instead of starting a new thread every 20 minutes :banghead:

We are legion, for we are many.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Agreed. But I have tried to bite my tongue, which is why I sent you a pm for one of your other threads instead of bumping it.

Now onto the question at hand...

You need to give some information before people can help you. What rom are you running? Kernel? Have you done any of the GPS fixes or flashed any drivers? What do you mean by "slow"? Is it slow to get a fix or is the navigation app that you use just slow?

There are apps available to help with obtaining a fix more quickly or to help with GPS accuracy in general. Try Faster Fix (don't know if the name is 100% correct) if your GPS isn't getting a fix quickly. Download GPS Status and Toolbox. Open the app and clear AGPS data and download the GPS files... can't remember what it's called in the app. There's only a few options in the app, so you should be able to do what I'm trying to tell you.

If you're on AOSP, it's likely that your GPS is wonky anyway. I did the Sense GPS fix over a year ago, everything has worked perfectly since. I'd suggest doing that one, especially if you're on Sense, but there are others. Just search for them.

The cable I have now for my current droid is only like 12-18inches long and its rather annoying. How long is the cable your S3 shipped with?

thanks in advance!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Just over three feet .

I have a shorter 16 inch lead but that is to short .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Not long enough. I had to use a different 1.5m USB cable because the original won't stretch from the plug to the table by my chair.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedjbigd:
Can you use any standard usb to mini usb cable? I agree, it's too short :-(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
I bought an OEM Samsung Wall charger for my GS2. I use that with my GS3. It's about 4 feet long. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacenbeyond:
Yes you can use any cable with the adapter..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Just try not to use one of the really low quality cables though.
[HTC One X] alaaassem:
hello Guys,

lets say you made a call with duration of 1 min.

next, you are making a call with no answer.

Did anybody notice that the call with no answer takes the 1 min as call duration in the upper right area!! :confused:

Is this a bug?
[HTC One X] Zulake:
Call duration? I've never seen a call duration on any Android device.

Or I never noticed it because I always immediately push it away and lock the screen after ending a call.:p
[HTC One X] alaaassem:
LOL i do the same too but just a sec before locking it my eyes goes to call duration hehe :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Leetlock:
So I recently started having this issue where when I unplugged phone I get a message about overvoltage and to unplug phone. The battery icon continues to show it is plugged in and starts flashing/beeping. Usually takes me pulling battery several times before it fixes itself.

What I would like to know is if this is a phone issue/malfunction, or battery?

I am running FF11 now, clean install, and still having the issue. Even went back to EL29 and issue was there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Is there any debris in your usb port or on your charging cable? Possibly battery issue, try support by phone I heard sometimes they mail out replacement batteries but not sure if thats true.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Leetlock:
It only happens when I unplug the device. Its not reading battery charge right either, when I do unplug and reboot, it show the battery icon you see when phone is off and charging as empty, then a yellow plug symbol crossed out.

Ill go ahead and call support too.
[HTC One X] anub1s18:
Hi,

recently (i think since i flashed the 2 way call recorder patch) my battery drain has been pretty big, and not even when i'm calling people.

the main suspect is always "cell standby" but this seems pretty vague, so i used better battery stats which pointed at Baseband_XMM_Power and that didn't make things much clearer. perhaps someone here can point me in the right direction or has also noticed increased battery drain after flashing the 2wcr patch.

1st is 2h30min after unplugging (give or take a few min

2nd is 10h30min after unplugging (give or take a few min)

in the whole day i probably spent... 50min listening to music wile reading the news/looking on the internet and writing/sending a text for about 2 min.

also i've had this issue using :

Leedroid 6.4 with Franco R9 / Eternity project 0.92b

Charmelion 5.0 rom with franco R9 / R10 / Eternity project 0.92b

ARHD 7.0 with Franco's R10

Hey There Xda'ers! I recently bought two nexus s's from a friend and his wife. his wife cracked hers and it didn't affect the usability at all. now went i went into the city with a few friends and we fooled around in the mall i dropped it by an accident. lol. So yeah. the crack expanded and now takes up the whole glass and got freakin annoying. THE QUESTION is If i could use an S-LCD screen on this Amoled version of the ns? the lcd Digitizer panels are Lots cheaper than the Amoled ones

(Over 50euro difference). So yeah thats kinda mah question.

________________ FAQ

will it work on kernel

X

It is made to work on stock kernel. It might work on kernels which are close to stock. I will however try to find a way to make it as compatible as possible. I'm going to assume that you can safely try this mod on your kernel (but don't enable set-on-boot) worst case scenario is a reboot.

does this consume battery

Short answer - Maybe.

Long answer - this might bring some drain, some users report quite a big battery drain some not, I will address this issue in some time. Check yourself how much an issue it is for you. Also this change from device to device so there is no short answer (look up)

will it break my touchscreen

Short answer - No

Long answer - Digitizer is not mechanical so it shouldn't break. The same mod works for more then 2 years on my Galaxy Nexus and it never lost a bit of it's responsiveness

why do I have to pay

Why did you pay for your phone? You did save a few bucks on the phone which was cheap. Now is your chance to make those savings worthy ;)

if I want to marry you where can I find you?

Oh... this question meant to go somewhere else ;P And I'm taken.

REALTIME MODULE REQUESTS STATS PER KERNEL ____________

Quick info about stats - it shows how much requests I'm getting for each kernel. So even if there is no module for that kernel it will be accounted as request. Also only one request per user per day is accounted. These stats are from last 7 days.

Per-Device stats

Galaxy Nexus

Long story:

When you press download at the module loader prompt I am actually getting info about your kernel. This is added to the stats if haven't requested during last 24 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idkwhothatis123:

Sweet app. Franco 189 does not support it though. Will have to find a kernel that does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bponury:
Wow, please edit your post to not include my complete post :-) And thanks. I'm using faux123's kernel as my base.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
Does this kill battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bponury:
This will NOT add additional battery drain when the screen is not touched. When you touch the screen there's a bit of processing for that but it's really insignificant when you compare it to a few minutes of screen battery drain. Despite what some people are saying, there is no polling, no thread running. Devices use interrupts, so this mod is totally inactive until you touch the screen (it is "woken up" in that moment). I've this on Evo3D when I had it and I've found no additional battery drain. Here I'm using it for few days and I don't see the difference in battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arhung:
feel disappointed that I can't use the app, because it saying my kernel doesn't support it

I'm using ARHD4.0.1 and Jame bond kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
Kernel not supported :( I'm using trinity
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idkwhothatis123:
Why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
You're mean.

Anyways. I flashed the default kernel and I have to say that I love you and this app. I would buy it but you need to make more kernels compatible ( I don't know if you can)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bponury:
Because it's making the whole thread look huge and difficult to read.

I can't. I'll try but kernel developers could just enable that config. It doesn't slow down the kernel at all and makes my life much easier. I'm happy that faux kernel (default from aokp) works with this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
I'll buy it then, and try to tell der kernel to make trinity compatible
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deepayanneogi:
Lean kernel doesnot support this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
Hey, I bought the app and I got some error. I had the free one uninstalled and everything. So I Googled the error and it said to clear market data. When I did that it shows the app unpurchased and asks me to buy it again?

Edit: What the hell it took out 2 payments? Wtf is wrong with my market? Can you refund the second one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bponury:
Uninstall both, reboot, install paid version (kernel modules can't be unloaded so each time uninstall & reboot & install is needed).

I see only one payment from you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAmAN00bie:
No go on Glados either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bponury:
On the bottom of first page I've added a link to faux kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mylenthes:
Its shown as unpurchased. In my bank account I see two ponury payments pending so maybe the second amount is a refund? I'm going to buy it a second time, if it comes out to be 3 purchases, then well figure it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
can confirm this working properly on the samurai kernel. Which is based off of the faux kernel :D:D sweet app.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightsbird:
I am currently working on a program to repair the truncated and corrupt videos from android battery failures etc. I would appreciate any small videos you have that are corrupt. When they are repaired I'll send them back to you. Please no movies converted to mp4. Only actual 3gp and mp4 videos recorded on android.

I am trying to get a sampling from as many android devices as possible so if you know anyone with the issue pass this along. If possible when sending a corrupt file also send a 15second good file so I have something to compare to.

This program may not be able to repair all but should when done be able to rebuild what is contained in the file. So far I have managed a few partial repairs and one full repair all from an Atrix 4G

Just post a link here or PM me with links to download the files.

Thanks

Jeff
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravenbrk:
corrupt mp4 for you to test your utility on

I'd love to have you try your corrupt mp4 repair utility that you are working on against a corrupt video. Source device is Motorola Atrix 4G. I'll try and put the URL in below and will also PM you with them since it's not wanting me to put in URLs

Here's the file that is corrupted (phone crashed and rebooted as my wife was pressing the "stop recording" button). ravenbrook dot net slash mp4 slash corrupt.mp4

{200 MB}

Here's a second file recorded on same phone a few days before that is good:

ravenbrook dot net slash mp4 slash good.mp4 {100 MB}

Let me know if you have any success.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightsbird:
I actually have the Atrix4G so this one should be an easy fix. I'll get back to ya in a few days. The goal in the end is for my software to recreate the missing part and be a binary match to what android would have created

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahac85:
ive had my s3 for 3 weeks now, its been rooted but still running stock rom. today i experienced a reboot when i received a text message and this is the third time, each time prior to the device rebooting it vibrates for a long time i.e maybe 5 seconds instead of 2 secs, has anyone had anything similar happen to them? or is my device faulty?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Never rebooted .

I would return to stock see what happens .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
Nope. Nothing like that has ever happened to mine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Never rebooted using system Apps but plenty times with others, and that's the developer's fault not Samsung's.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahac85:
I wonder if a third party app may be causing it? It only reboots randomly on a incoming message. I usually know it's going to reboot due to the long vibration.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Yeah have you installed any other Apps that can send or monitor received SMS?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnboywilson:
Mine rebooted a couple of times in the first few days of use. (unrooted stock ROM)

Never had any since though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XeroHertZ:
My friend got an S3 2 days ago and he told me he's been experiencing random reboots !!! His phone is on stock rom and ain't rooted yet !!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahac85:
Only whatsapp, but I doubt that is causing it. I've cleared data in applications for the messaging app, so going to see if that helps, thanks for the replies, at least IM not the only one having issues, I read on another thread someone having similar issues when using the phone and a SMS arrived, his phone would freeze.

People that are not experience reboots are you using custom roms, and if so which do you recommend? If I have to send it back to Samsung, will flashing stock ROM and using triangle away prior to flashing ROM be enough to get warranty back again?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahac85:
Are you still on stock unrooted?

I get some kind of reboot on my device it just goes black then says android upgrading havent a clue why. I'm on stock rooted sim free s3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
That means there's an App flashing something to Root and rebooting your phone, it happened to me with a cracked version of Rom toolbox pro so I uninstalled, and I'm not sure but that might add to your flash counter every time so you want to find out what's causing it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Nope, mines been fine, even undervolted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahac85:
Ok I finally figured it out, it was nova launcher causing the freezes, using touchwiz no freezes when sms arrive. :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidmark:
I too get odd freezes and glitches with Nova. Have not seen it with TW.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahac85:
Another thing to note is when flashing a custom Rom from stock, it's is highly recommended to wipe system in recovery as well as data and cache. To wipe system you have to go to mounts and storage. Then when you boot phone after flashing new custom Rom, make sure you have the correct csc. I flashed wannamlite stock and that set csc to Korea by default whilst I'm in UK it should have been btu. That caused some problems with sms which resulted in reboots and freezes. Not had a reboot or freeze since I followed these steps.

For those of you.who don't know what CSC is, it's mainly used for the carrier branding, e.g. APN settings for data connection, carrier branding, and MMS functionality for the specific*service*provider*and other region specific software packages, like music hub etc

Below you can see the steps to change CSC configuration on your Samsung Galaxy S3.

Find the IMEI# of your Samsung Galaxy S3 device for this purpose go in to*Setting –> About phone –> Status*and look for the IMEI# number and note it down.

Then you need to type *#272*Device IMEI# in the dial pad of your Samsung Galaxy S3. After this select the desired CSC.

Your device will automatically reboot afterwards. Note it will do factory reset and wipe internal sd. But in my experience it fixed all my problems, thought I would share with you guys.

Guess I better get talking with T-Mobile. (Or you guys think I should go back to Costco and see if I can get an exchange?)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VulguM:
No issues so far, I've got mine a couple weeks ago, insta flashed to last UK ROM and rooted. I hope it keeps working as good.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 666fej:
I had random reboots and freezes since I've bought my SGS3. When I unboxed it, I had to restart it 3 times before I managed to finish the calibration menu.

After a month of use, it went from daily reboots to 5minutes, then 30second reboots. Both with stock and custom roms. Tried out everything, but nothing was helpful. So I decided, to revert to stock, clear flash-counter and send it back.

After two weeks I got back my phone. The repair-report says they replaced the battery. Now its working like a charm, without freezes and reboots.

Well I just had mine replaced brand new fresh outta the box and it's still rebooting. Took a couple of days for it to happen but it's still happening. Anyone have any idea why this is occurring? Any chance it's something to do with the rooting method perhaps? Is anyone having this happen

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragoth12:
Yep. My wife's GS3 is 100% stock and has this issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
Shake your phone. If it will reboot itself it could be battery connectors problem. Or take out back cover and try to move battery. If it's moving than you got your answer - its disconnects power for short time and phone is rebooting.

Some people in my country reported this error. Don't know why only some devices suffer from this malfunction. It's looks like battery is to small or battery bay to large. Strange.
