[Samsung Captivate Glide] davidpartay:
So I got sick of the phone taking 5 minutes to get a fix, and did some research. I found this link:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28989-the-end-all-be-all-guide-to-your-gps/

It's pretty self-explanatory. I applied the changes recommended. I am using LiteRom 0.9 which comes with a bunch of installation options, and being in Australia I chose the Oceania GPS settings. Well, the settings were absolutely rubbish when I compare them against the link I posted :P and the au servers weren't even correctly entered!

I used 920 Text Editor since ES File Manager doesn't seem to work properly with root anymore.

Here is the NEW content of my gps.conf file:

NTP_SERVER=0.au.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.au.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.au.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.au.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
INTERMEDIATE_POS=1
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
SUPL_TLS_CERT=/etc/SuplRootCert
ACCURACY_THRES=5000
CURRENT_CARRIER=common
DEFAULT_USER_PLANE=TRUE
REPORT_POSITION_USE_SUPL_REFLOC=1
ENABLE_WIPER=1
PHONE_TYPE=UMTS

I'm not sure if the REPORT_POSITION line is used or necessary.

But anyway, the fact is that after resetting AGPS data in GPS Status, it took only 10 seconds to get a fix instead of 5-6 minutes. There were a number of issues which would (in my mind) have caused problems with trying to get a fix. Here were a couple of my problems:

NTP_SERVER=server 0.au.pool.ntp.org

// See that space. Seriously? Who does this? Multiply this by four, then throw in another 6 NTP servers for good measure.

SUPL_TLS_HOST=FQDN

// FQDN = Fully Qualified Domain Name, as explained in the link. I'll give you a few seconds to figure out why this is wrong if you don't get it straight away.

It's a pity LiteROM isn't being maintained anymore because other people may fall into this same situation.

EDIT: On another test with cleared AGPS data, it took 157 seconds (2 minutes 37 seconds) to get a fix, but that is still a vast improvement

EDIT AGAIN: I just set my NTP_SERVER to au.pool.ntp.org and removed the extra lines, so I only have one NTP server and without resetting AGPS, it was a 9 second fix. After resetting AGPS, 47 second fix. I'm going to remove as many lines as I think I can get away with and see what difference it makes.

EDIT NUMBER THREE: 6 seconds

Ok, so, I got a 6 second fix before AGPS reset, and a 57 second fix after resetting it with this as my gps.conf file:

NTP_SERVER=au.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
PHONE_TYPE=UMTS

I'm guessing it will be quicker if you leave the INTERMEDIATE_POS line in there, which would explain the 11 second difference between this and the previous tests I did.

So as you can see, the good old, time-tested principle of Keep It Simple, Stupid, is absolutely still relevant in this situation :P

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkramSheiar:
Hello everyone,

I just bought Samsung Galaxy S4 three months ago, everything was working fine, but suddenly the phone switched off at 53% and when I switched it on again it said 0% and kept rebooting. After removing the battery and putting it again, it became around 30% - 40% and 5min later, it switched off again. The battery became a bit fat than normal, not straight anymore.

I already read some topics about this problem, and the solution was buying a new one. Now the question is, what were the problems that made the battery goes bad like this? I've some suggestions which might be the cause of the problem but don't know if they are right, but I'm going to share them anyway and I hope someone could help and tells us the real thing that caused the problem so we can all avoid it from happening again.

Suggestions are:

1. Charging the phone a lot of time even after reaching 100% (Fully charged icon).

2. Charging the phone with a car charger.

3. Charging the phone with a non original charger.

4. Using the phone while charging it.

Thanks in advance, I'll really appreciate your help. :)

I just noticed that I cannot change the txt (Messaging) ringtone. It seems to be stuck on one called Pyxis. Thus far, I've cleared cache etc on app and used Titanium to restore a previous version but I might have restored the the same version from my backup... with no success.

>>(UPDATE) I just found that if I change the phone ringtone it changes the txt ringtone to the same thing but still cannot change the txt ringtone separately.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DiSiD:
Hi. I realize this thread is from a few weeks ago, so I don't know if you've figured it out already, but there's a few things that come to mind. First is, under "volumes" uncheck the link system and ringtone volumes". Then, under "system" look at the default notification sound... there you should be able to change the sound. I use liquid 2.10, and for me it works flawlessly. I've read a lot here about people having problems running 4.3 roms but I've been lucky I guess. Well, first time I ran into a problem as I used titanium to restore apps and data (caught in boot loop) and I was told that there's the problem with apps from 4.2 to 4.3. So after restoring my nandroid I used helium to selectively backup and restore app data, not a problem since. Also, the flash method is unusual to me. Supposed to wipe, rewipe everything, then flash the Rom, boot up, set up phone (everything but Google apps), then power off, boot back into recovery and flash gapps separately. I haven't run into anything not working. I have a different ringtone for calls and a separate sound for notifications. You probably know all this stuff already, but I'm only trying to describe what I did and how it works for me.

Just wanted to give a huge thank you to everyone who helped me back in the day after my phone was stolen from work. A large group of you got together and helped me purchase the Galaxy SIII as a replacement phone. In return, I worked extremely hard to learn how to build ROMs and put out the first custom ROM for the T-Mobile Galaxy SIII with the help of some friends I made along the way. I am forever thankful to you guys.

I'd also like to take a moment to thank all the hard working dev's who continue to put out stellar ROMs for this phone. You have quenched my thirst and helped me feel like I still had a brand new phone as new phones came out.

As of today, I am the proud owner of the LG G2 and will be giving my wife my GS3 until she is due for an upgrade next year.

Perhaps you'll see a redruM ROM over there on the G2 side....who knows :p

Thank you all :highfive:

I've noticed the other day looking thru root explorer that there was a 0 folder there. I pressed it and saw that it kept going about 8 folders in 0>0>0> etc . I also noticed that its the bulk of my internal space. I figure every time I flash a ROM, it creates a 0 folder with more data. My question is : if I delete this folder, does any one know what would happen. I ask because I know touchwiz Roms are big but the new m.o.a.r 6.0 was giving my internal storage issues at times. Was just curious. Thanks for the help/advice in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
make a nandroid then try it. worse case scenario you have to reflash. you could always boot to twrp do a complete wipe or internal. or even a full wipe of device and reinstall rom. free up some space.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
You might want to go through all those 0 folders and copy the contents to your pc. Every time you flashed a 4.2 or higher rom all of your stuff was put into those folders. You don't want to lose anything important. After you make sure everything important is out of there, then you can delete them.

HTC one has a built in amp. Personally, I think the headphone output is great and the best I've had on a phone. The gnote2 with Wolfson was excellent but slightly quoted than I would've preferred with headphones. All the mods people say to try did not fix it on the gnote2 as it added distortion or artifacts or even worse and that is why I quit using them. It is best to get a headphone amp. They can be had pretty cheap or check out JDS labs and the O2 and c5 amps. A little more pricey but probably cheapest audiophile quality amp for the price.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bifford:
Is it worth installing CyanogenMod on the Xperia Z? Does it substantially improve performance? I use AVG Task Killer to close down unneeded processes and this sometimes frees up as much as 200MB of RAM.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandaball:
It depends on whether you are willing for forgo your warranty for cutting edge software. I would say that the performance difference in terms of UI smoothness is not that large because Sony's firmware is pretty good in itself already - you would only see a more drastic difference when moving from Touchwiz to CM, for example.

It also depends on whether you are willing to let go of Bravia Engine, Small Apps and all the Sony addons. I personally don't really care for those, but again it's whether you're willing to accept the trade-off.

Essentially, Sony firmware brings you stability, while CM brings you speed, flexibility and (rarely) instability.

Note: don't use task killers. The built in Android one does far better. Task managers can end up draining your battery as they kill services which the system automatically restarts. Just let Android do its work and ditch all 3rd party task managers :)

The latest 10.2 nightly is superb.

It has fixed the only bug which bothered me being the screen flicker in the browser.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bifford:
I upgraded my Motorola Defy to CM10 and it actually made it more unstable, but I thought that was because Android 4 is not suitable for a 512MB RAM phone.

Perhaps, instead, I should just root the phone and uninstall the unwanted Sony apps. When I use AVG Task Killer to Optimize the phone it sometimes closes as many as 30 unneeded processes.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianrobbie:
I used to use Monx's ROM and a whole raft of add-ons and MODs to change the DPI, navbar transparency etc.

I did a fresh install of the Pacman ROM based on CM 10.2 / 4.3.1 yesterday, which has all of the above included plus much, much, much more. You can change the settings of pretty much every feature of the phone, all at the base level, without installing anything.

Since then I have had no stability issues and everything works exactly as it should.

At the end of the day, I moved from an iPhone because you had to jailbreak and install Cydia just to change basic features. With Android you were able to do more, but now with CM 10.2 you can change pretty much everything.

It's up to you, really. I was impressed with Sony's stock UI until I took the plunge, unlocked the Bootloader (which you can re-lock, remember) and installed a Custom ROM.

I have never regretted that decision. I am now a full-fledged CM devotee.

Try it. You won't go back.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bifford:
When I installed CM 10 on my Motorola Defy, I was very delighted at first because I had achieved something rather difficult. I'm a computer science student, and I like to do these sorts of things for the sake of it. Later I regretted it because my phone didn't feel any faster and seemed to be even more unstable.

Do you feel that your phone, with it's custom ROM, is significantly faster than the manufacturer's version?
