Any tweaks or apps anyone knows of that I can use to get the GPS to track my location and do it's job faster?

My fiancee has an Evo 4G (the oldschool one) and it picks up GPS in under 10 seconds almost every single time. Mine takes on average 3-5 minutes...

Phone:

[HTC EVO 3D] icon69:
Hi,

I'm using a 3d(obviously) cdma on hboot 1.4 revolutionary unlocked since day one. I was on 2.17 firmware but when Devils toast came out it wouldn't boot so I flashed the light vm firmware zip. But to no avail. But thats not my problem. What is, is I've been experiencing crazy signal drops and occasionally I get a error message saying "radio interface error" then my signal drops and i have to manually restart to connect again. This error has been happening since before the vm zip was flashed but now it's happening more and more. And my signal drops started happening a little before flashing the vm zip but they've gotten worse. Before signal drops happened I was getting great signal then one day it randomly started and its been getting worse. Right now I'm running derps ics bareback rom but it's not the rom it happends on any rom I flash. Is there any fix for this at all?

TL;DR?

Is there a fix for the "radio interface error"?

Thanks in advance, Gabe

I have my HTC Desire, on which i have a large data bundle which i can use. I created a wifi hotspot from this phone using Barnacle and Wifi Tethering from OpenGarden.

I create the hotspot (tried both apps), and i can see it from my pc, but i cant see it from my SGS3?

Any help?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogstar55:
Give this a bump to see if anybody can help.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogstar55:
Final bump, hope somebody knows why the SGS3 cannot pick up wifi hotspots from other phones.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
If the other phone makes Ad-Hoc access point the S3 can't access it and so far it's impossible to make S3 use Ad-Hoc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangol321:
wow :eek: scary

But isn't possible to modify the wpa_supplicant like it has been done for other versions of android ?

I read that the trick was to make the wpa_supplicant "think" the ad-hoc was infrastructure.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Every method so far kills the Wifi connection so you'll have to wait.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogstar55:
Thanks for the feedback. Did not know the SGS3 would not be able to connect to ad hoc wifi hotspots..

Any idea why they went this route?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Because Android by default does not support mesh networks (also called adhoc).

The reason it that wpa_supplicant's adhoc support is badly broken while adhoc networks consist of a complex peer-to-peer protocow withoue central infrastructure: insecurity, slowness and stabiliy issues are the consequences.

Only a few phones have adhoc support in a Rom with, afaik, all these roms being aftermarket

Are you sure your HTC phone is not capable of AP-mode wifi?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogstar55:
My HTC Desire is rooted, so i did some googling and found out that wifi tether can be used and will simulate an infrastructure hotspot.

Now my SGS3 can see the hotspot, but its not connecting properly. Keeps getting stuck on the message "Obtaining IP address" so i am not sure if thats a problem on the HTC or SGS3 side.

Will do some fiddling today.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] txstate.mike:
I previously had an iPhone 4 and purchased your NGP case for that phone and was very impressed with the level or quality. I cannot say the same for the One X NGP case. Unfortunately they decided to be cheap and make single case for the international version and the AT&T version. Because of the size difference the cut-outs for the ports and speaker do not align properly. I was forced to cut a larger opening for the power cord to allow a standard sized micro usb to fit (kindle cable shown in picture). Also, there is little to no protection for the camera lens. HTC used poor judgment by designing a phone with a protruding camera lens making it very prone to scratches. Unfortunately instead of designing the NGP case with a lip to protect the lens when the phone is laid flat on its back the case is flush (or just barely raised) effectively offering no protection. Finally the power button does not line up properly and it’s difficult to press.

I recommend the Nillkin Scrub case over this one which you can find for about $10 on ebay. The power port doesn't need to be cut to fit a standard cord, it's thinner and has grips on the sides so it feels better in the hand, and it offers some protection for the camera.

Tried to embed pictures but since I haven't posted 10 times it would not let me.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] GAPY427:
I recently downloaded an ICS-based, Cynagen 9 ROM. It was making my Infuse very hot, so I decided to restore back to my previous ROM (Ethereal). I've tried Odin (can't get COM## to appear on it) and Heimdall (installed drivers, new version of Java, still doesn't recognize device). I don't want to pay to have it fixed again, so does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can fix myself? I have a blue CWM. Thanks.

Sounds like if you would do a battery pull and get to download mode you could odin or heimdall back but if ya wanna toss money away to upgrade that's cool too
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GAPY427:
That's it -- I tried Odin and Heimdall but they didn't work. I downloaded the drivers several times, but both programs couldn't recognize my device. I couldn't see the COM## in Odin when I plugged in my Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GAPY427:
I want to fix my Infuse, but it becomes frustrating when you try these programs (Odin, etc.) and it isn't successful. I can't reboot my phone into anything right now (a new ROM, a restore, etc). It's stuck in the blue recovery.

Then flash over the rom you wanted thru the recovery
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
Since you're stuck in recovery and can't get Heimdall or Odin to work, you'll need to use adb to do what I'm about to explain. So, let me know if you need a tutorial on using adb. You can use adb to push items to /sdcard/ while in CWM recovery. Using adb, put the rom that you want on the internal sdcard and put Zen Arcade's Infusion-Z kernel zip there as well. Get the kernel here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25724526

Then, use the install from zip feature in CWM recovery to flash Zen's kernel to the phone. After the kernel flash, unplug the USB cable and shut the phone off by holding down the power button (it won't boot into anything yet). Then hold the power button and two volume buttons. When the Samsung logo appears, release the power button and keep holding the volume buttons until you are in red recovery. Go to mounts and storage and format system, data, and cache. Then, go back to flash your rom and then reboot. If you're still wanting to throw in the towel, mail it to me and I'll do it for you. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GAPY427:
I've tried that several times. My device is not recognized by Odin.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GAPY427:
Yes, I'll need a tutorial on adb.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
I've put together a package with all that you'll need for adb. Use these instructions to move the files that I mentioned in my earlier post.

First, let's make sure that we are on the same page with drivers, since you have had trouble with both Heimdall and Odin.

1.) Unplug USB cable.

2.) In the Windows Control Panel, go to "Programs and Features" or "Add/Remove Programs" and uninstall any instances of Samsung Kies and SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones.

3.) Download and install THIS version of SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones.

4.) After installing the driver, plug in USB cable, and give Windows a moment to setup the driver. When your connection is ready, a USB cable with a check beside it should appear in the Windows system tray.

You can give Odin another try, and it should work for you now with the new driver, or you can move forward with using adb to do what you need.

1.) Download and unzip THIS adb package.

2.) Browse to the folder containing adb.exe. Hold down shift and right click with the mouse; then choose "Open command window here".

3.) Make sure that you are in CWM recovery, and in the Windows command prompt, type

adb devices

If all is working correctly, your device should appear in the list.

4.) Place any files that you want to move to the device in the same folder as adb.exe.

5.) Then do this for each file: Type the command below, but replace fullfilename with the full name of the file.

adb push [I]fullfilename[/I] /sdcard/

When the transfer finishes, you should be able to access the items on your internal sd card. From here you can follow the instructions that I gave in the earlier post.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GAPY427:
Followed your instructions. Removed SAMSUNG drivers. Installed drivers in your instructions. Odin did not work. Tried the other method and I receive this message in the Cmd window: 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
You have to be in the exact directory as adb.exe or you'll continue to get that error. Go to the exact folder, hold shift and right click the mouse in that folder window. Choose "Open command window here".

Good luck, and enjoy the holiday.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GAPY427:
Not working. I'm stuck either in blue recovery or a Galaxy S cyanogen(mod) screen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
Anyone taking time to help you is going to need more to go on than "Not working." I already know that you're in blue recovery. What's the latest on using adb to push a kernel with red recovery to your device so we can get you back to Gingerbread?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GAPY427:
I tried pushing a kernel through adb but I didn't see it on my sd card. There were also 4 different choices of kernels (Core A, Core B, etc.). I tried to push A & B but saw neither of them on recovery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
Did you see the transfer in progress in the command line? If so, and if the transfer finished, it's on there. I wonder if you're looking on your external sd card instead of the internal.

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

Alright, in blue recovery, go to "install zip from sdcard".

Then, go to "choose zip from sdcard". Do you see the items that you pushed with adb listed there? Don't choose "choose zip from internal sdcard". Despite what that sounds like, it's your external sdcard.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Hmmm...id buy your infuse to help your sgs3 fund :P

On a different more helpful note...let me ask some questions...that may have been asked and/or already answered

1) have you tried every USB port...even the back ones? Also if you use heimdal then Odin will not work on that USB port unless drivers are uninstalled -I believe you said you tried all ports

2) do you have access to another computer? Maybe a friend's? Try anothe computer if possible

3) have you tryed a different USB data cord? My USB cord could no longer transfer data...it would connect as mass storage and I could view the files in my phone from pc but as soon as I went to transfer it would disconnect...thus odin/heimdal never worked until one day I tried a new USB cable and BAM...Odin/heimdal worked and I could transfer data...soo it could be a faulty cable...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GAPY427:
I am choosing from sdcard, but I don't see the file. Do I put the UNZIPPED file into the adb folder or do I extract it into the adb folder? I REALLY appreciate your help, but it seems as if I royally screwed this thing up. I'm going to try and reinstall the USB drivers again and see what happens.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GAPY427:
PM me and let me know how much you'd give me for it.

This relates to the porting of the crespo drivers for our Epics to be able to access 4G, etc. Now that it's officially official (again) maybe this will aid all of our devs (especially Team Epic) in their continued quest of perfection!

I don't get it was the nexus s 4g not also at one point?

Edit: lmao cause of too much xda I associated aosp with roms instead of open source
[Epic 4G General] czechpunk:
Correct. The Nexus S 4G on Sprint was part of and then was shunned by AOSP because of the proprietary drivers needed for CDMA and WiMax. The gist of the article is that they've all somehow come together and worked things out to where Nexus S 4G will now see updates about the same time as GSM Nexus S. This pertains to us Epic users as well, at least those of us on ICS, since Team Epic devs are currently using several drivers from Nexus S 4G to make our phones work. This should also help them port Jelly Bean to our phone, once official source code drops.

My wife and I both got this today. We are running the 211 OTA (sideloaded, we were rooted). Southern California if that matters...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cmraymond:
I got the update through the soak test. My phone never froze before the. 211 update. My phone is now officially unstable. Kinda sucks, actually. About to do a factory reset and see if that helps. A few apps always force close like One Click Clear. 4 G signal for me is worse. Plus ICS uses a lot more data, if and when my apps that use data work. Flip board is another app that freezes a lot. Have cleared data. Uninstalled and reinstalled apps. All have not helped.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
yeah the 3G/4G toggle sucks but its an easy enough work around with LTE OnOff, I'm still going thru it but battery life doesn't seam horribly bad not more then 5-10% less of what it was before the update (have you rebooted since finishing the whole update process, sometimes that helps).

Things I've noticed about the OTA, atleast for me anyway:

1: bluetooth now connects everytime (so far) sometimes on GB it wouldn't

2: better reception, I can talk on my phone in places I couldn't before.

3: I have a smart action set to shutoff Data when screen is off and it reconnects to 3G (no 4G here yet) much quicker and much more reliably now.

Over all I'm very happy with ICS.
