My pleasure:p

expecting your new rom :):)
[neoTouch S200 General] victor79:
I advice to people who want to apply this trick not to peel gps antenna, no need. You can just make a cut by a knife on the area shown on the picture in the first post. This is pretty much easier and looks better. I added also the picture of my phone.

Many many thanks to joyqing for this trick, it really works well.
[neoTouch S200 General] joyqing:
yes, i've advised to cut that position directly without peeling antenna off in my first post:

"maybe you can do it without peeling antenna off, try to cut the short-circuit position directly if you are not sure you can completely peel off. reference d2.jpg or s200_p1.jpg(provided by wysxs, thx).":p

anyway, thanks your advice.

Best Fix for Acer S200. GPS start 10-20 seconds. Before fix 8 minutes.

thank very much

Modifica antenna gps (effettuata)

ciao a tutti, qst è il mio primo messaggio!! utilizzo qst forum raramente, di solito sn su forum.,telefonino.-. cmq gg ho provato a fare sta modifica: posto sotto (nn c ho pensato di fare un video.. sry)

ho preso il cell (mi sn dimenticato di spegnerlo e nn è successo nnt, tant è ke ho persino ricevuto una chiamata durante l operazione.. XD)

l ho aperto, ho iniziato a staccare l antenna (ke è adesiva), fatto un paio di foto x il forum, e poi ho messo sotto un cartoncino e ho tagliato cn un taglierino!!

dopodikè ho ripiegato l antenna adesiva (ah, nn dovete staccarla completamente, da un lato è fissa al cell) e l ho schiacciata sull cell, si reincolla perfettamente con il suo adesivo originale.

poi sn uscito in terrazza (coperta da tetto in legno) e m ha fatto il primo fix in 20 sec.. ****ta!!!!

tempo di esecuzione: 5min

difficoltà: media (basta un poco di manualità)

risultato: ottimo

togliete lo spazio dal link dopo HTTP (nn mi faceva postare altrimenti)

Hi there,

I have a neotouch since early February and I'm constantly fighting this GPS reception issue.

However, I'd be very surprised if this antenna modification really works. I noticed that when I perform a hard reset of the device, GPS reception of freshly installed device is good. It stays good for the first day, even after restoring the backed up data. However, it gets very bad on the next day and stays bad. If this would be caused by the antenna, why does it work on the first day?
[neoTouch S200 General] surcart:
I've done the mod and can tell you that it works. Not just for a day. I always have good reception on gps now. If you do the mod you'll notice the difference. But as always on your own risk. Be careful as the antenna is fragile.
[neoTouch S200 General] korl85:
the modifications is simple

if you do just like the picture on 1st post it will be alright

after the mod, you will fell a HUGE diference
[neoTouch S200 General] joyqing:
expecting your feedback
[neoTouch S200 General] grisu5:
effettuato la modifica !! eccellente funziona alla grande!!

joyqing you are a very genious!! thanks a lot!!!!
[neoTouch S200 General] Ombre1:
I`am not sure that this mod boost the gps signal 50 or 100%,but seems to be faster now :).And i`am sure for one thing-this mod will not kill your phone or gps signal,everything is working just fine.Thank you people,keep working,and here is my acer:
[neoTouch S200 General] incognito_tkd:
I just tried joyqing method and to my surprise it does seem worked.. Why i would say so? Previously when using Garmin XT, i only got 1 signal increasing to 2 or 3 signals after quite a long time (within minutes) but now I got 7 signals immediately (less than a minute) but still it takes time to lock on. I gave up using S200 GPS after i waited for 15 minutes to lock on from inside a slow moving bus.

;) ;) ;)

Will try to post some pictures later on.

Thanks joyqing
[neoTouch S200 General] ferelen:
Thanks joyqing, you really helped me.

Finally I can use my S200 as a proper GPS device.
[neoTouch S200 General] Wolkenkratzer:
It

works

for me too.

Before: 1-2 satellites found in 15-25 min (cold start, clear sky);

After: 4-12 satellites found in 6-15 min (cold start, clear sky);

GPS works good now.

BIG thanks to the people who found how to solve this problem!
[neoTouch S200 General] joyqing:
great to hear
[neoTouch S200 General] cc68:
it works great

The original S200 was the worst GPS device i ever had and we tested a lot in our company over the last years.

With the change it seems to be the best. I don't see any bad things this change does to the device.

Interestingly before the change I never got GPS reception when GSM was switched off (At least I tried up to 30 minutes).

After the hardware change it does not matter if GSM is enabled or not.

MANY, MANY thanks!

[neoTouch S200 General] Ombre1:
After the instalation of the newest update (1. Resolves the problem ONLY where the GPS signal is lost when using a 2G SIM card. (more...)) it works even better :P
[neoTouch S200 General] quato79:
Gps works super

This hardware hack really does the job,it is just great now:

-compared to HTC TP & TP2 my Acer F1 has almost double signal strenght!!!
[neoTouch S200 General] kc9:
So magic,i did it and feel a new strong GPS now, will update my pic later
[neoTouch S200 General] sean1018:
it really work,thank you!
[neoTouch S200 General] khepelesibilo:
2 ~ 3 times more improvement , but still my old ARTEMIS is a leader.

any one checked battery use ?
[neoTouch S200 General] vitkaplin:
I just did that mod and checked GPS at home through the window. Now I see higher signal strength in OziExplorer than before. And it is catching satellites faster. Need more time to test that. Anyhow, great mod! Thanks to joyqing :)

I come here to study.thank you joyqing!!:)
[neoTouch S200 General] acesin:
Hello everyone

I followed the instructions, peeled off, measured the ohm is 00.6.

Cutted the hole, measured again, reading still the same.

I did not cut enough?

When peeling, i accidently tore a bit of the part pointed by the red arrow.

Will it spolit the anntena or could this be the cause. :confused:

Never succeed fixing the satalite with my s200 before...or else will be great.

Any help please? Thank you.
[neoTouch S200 General] joyqing:
yes, you didn't cut enough.

check http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=300111&d=1269746554 for details of cutting position. After completely cut off, the reading will be infinity ohms.

don't worry about that bad part of antenna.
[neoTouch S200 General] Pongpyng:
It works!

Thanks joyqing :D

PS. I cut it off a little too much, hope it will be ok :p
[neoTouch S200 General] Donald62:
I've made modification but my telephone doesn't improve it GPS reception.

My old Nokia6210nav still receive much better.

It also seems now that without passing first through compass application, my tom-tom don't see any receiver (but before it was working without any tricks)

:(
[neoTouch S200 General] A_R_N_O:
Modification succesfull with a great improvement in signal reception and speed in catching satellites' signals

My S200 is still losing frequently the signal with Copilot Live v8 but a few seconds each time so that's no much disturbing while driving
[neoTouch S200 General] joyqing:
i think you need this GPS patch blew to fix GPS signal losing problem:

[neoTouch S200 General] kelvin.wlin:
It works, Getting signal even on the raining day just less than 3 minuts. Thanks
[neoTouch S200 General] Axel85:
Great improvement,i can t belive to my eyes...In sunny days i can get satellites signal in about 30 seconds,it s incredible ,my nokia n95 take 3 minutes.Now with igo primo it s the best gps device i ve ever tried.

For everyone not seeing improvements,the only reason could be that you have not cut enoght or you damaged the antenna.The improvement is so great and you can see a very big difference.I can get signal even in my room 1 meter inside the window
[neoTouch S200 General] wjy:
Hi all,

I have read through this thread and it seems that everyone gets great signal after modification.

I too have modified and got really significant increase in signal. In GMXT I used to get only 4 to 5 bars of satellite but after mod. I got more than 7 and even full max bars on a clear sky.

However, after some time of not using gps, I recently turn on gps to have a play again and I realise the signals are back to normal again. It takes about 10 minutes to lock my position and only4 - 5 bars of satellite detected.

During first mod, I didn't peel off the antenna. I just make a cut at the middle as shown in the pics. But after the gps revert back to low signal, I peeled open the antenna thinking there still might be short circuit. I see the connection is fully cut.

I don't have a voltmeter to check whether the two electrode is still short circuit but I definitely have cut across the connection all the way.

So anyone know what is going on? I really want back the strong gps signal!! :)

Thanks
[neoTouch S200 General] joyqing:
If you are sure completely disconnect the short circuit point, you needn't to do anything, just waiting for the satellite signal on the sky resume to the normal level, these days there are solar storms reach the earth, will interfere with GPS signal.

Not all the time, the satellite signals on you head are strong enough.
[neoTouch S200 General] StRuTcH:
.

At the first post I thought "this guy is completly crazy and want me to broke my phone!"...

But than I've read so many people telling that it works, and the GPS was so damn slow that I've decided to DO IT.

I've tried and I tell you. IT WORKS FINE!! :)

Before I have to wait about 5~10 minutes to reach GPS signal in my garmin mobile. Now it reachs the signal in 1~2 minutes!

Thank you joyqing!!! :D

[neoTouch S200 General] kayoboy:
Thx for joyqing post !

It works very fine and faster than b4. This modification work that you must try if you are using Acer F1.
[neoTouch S200 General] lnchu:
Thanks joyqing. Though I broke the last few mm of the cable, the improvement in reception is still much better.
[neoTouch S200 General] WISEGUY_KEV:
Wow you are the man!!!!!! I can now get my location with in 10 feet of my actual location. This mod works 100%
[neoTouch S200 General] sunslife:
It's really good!

I bought a s200 yesterday and found that the gps is slow.

Thanks for your sharing experience!
[neoTouch S200 General] keenfox:
Tks a lot to joyqing~

Although my S200's GPS reception is acceptable, but I still cutted the antenna after seen such many replys~

hey boys, i can confirm.....

cutting that path seems to get better reception... it's possible to fix inside home, just look out window. And the signal strenght is improved.

The way to do a nice work is using a cutter like this
[neoTouch S200 General] f.a:
It works very fine.

Tanks you
[neoTouch S200 General] twinsvbnet:
wow,I can see the comments,and i think it really works,i'll try it now :D

1 minute... cutter... problem solved... thankyou!!!!
[neoTouch S200 General] user109:
I wonder why my s200 still not able to receive an acceptable GPS signal.. :confused: I followed the suggested "cut" but Garmin still not able to receive any signal.. Satellite viewer also failed to receive more than 2 bars.. :mad:
[neoTouch S200 General] Supermen`:
Still happens business depends on an insertion, what insertion at you? And patch GPS put?

P. S. I badly know English, but I think you me have understood

[HD2 General] straptin958:
I use to have a T-mobile Dash and was able to run a this program named Call Surprise which allowed you to have a random ringtone each time someone called you. I installed the same cab on the HD2 but it says that i need network Compact 3.5 . When i try to install NETCFv3.5 its says that there is a later model on the device and to reinstall it if i want to run Call Surprise. Is there anyway to get this program to run on my HD2.

Thanks for the help
[HD2 General] straptin958:
anyone have an idea. this is one of the most underrated programs for windows mobile.

its a great program that really allows your phone to be unique apart from the rest. I wish someone would figure this out and let us know.
[HD2 General] straptin958:
I now have random ringtones!!!!!!

I have a Tmo USA HD

ROM:Energy.Leo.21895.Sense2.5_with_Cookie_HomeTab.Mar.17

*Note:HSPL_1024

I did some research and I ran into a program oblyvaeonRR13a which a program which allows you to have random rigntones, sms alerts and email alerts.

Before i installed the program it required me install MortScript-4.3b15-SP. Once I did these steps the program basically set itself up and now im just thinking up some ringtones to slice from my favorites songs.

[Hero CDMA General] bitbang3r:
The subject pretty much says it all... if I have EV-DO available, and also have 802.11g available, how does the phone's network stack decide which route is better? Does it try to always use Wi-fi when available, on the theory that it avoids blocking incoming voice calls? Does it go as far as analyzing ping times and doing background traceroutes to see which route is more direct, reliable, and fastest? Does relative signal strength enter into the equation (ie, if I'm in the back yard & have a really marginal Wi-Fi signal, will it insist on trying to use it anyway to the exclusion of a potentially stronger EV-DO signal)?

I've tried to figure it out from observation. Originally, it seemed like it always tried to use WiFi whenever possible, but then I wrote a client-server app that tries to send traffic to my desktop PC at 192.168.x.x (which obviously can only route over wi-fi). The app worked sometimes, completely failed at others, and there seemed to be almost no discernible correlation between when it worked and when it failed.
[Hero CDMA General] jmxp69:
Good question. Here's the routing table of a CDMA and 802.11x connected device. I don't see any metrics indicating one would be preferred over the other. Both tiwlan0 and rmnet0 are gateways. I wonder if the CDMA and WLAN interfaces receive some sort of preference elsewhere in the stack??

# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
108.100.55.xx * 255.255.255.252 U 0 0 0 rmnet0
10.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 tiwlan0
default 10.1.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tiwlan0
default 108.100.55.xx 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 rmnet0
#

EDIT: I just ran 3 traceroutes to external addresses, and tiwlan0's interface was used every time. It seems to me in a routing table, the first route that can satisfy a request is used. In this case, my 10.x default gateway satisfies a route to an external address, and in my traces, that's what got used. I didn't see variable behavior.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
I've found that it will always try to use wifi when available, regardless of signal strength. However, my tests have been conducted in 2 placess. One with a strong 3G signal (-72 or better) but with an incredibly unreliable wifi signal, the other with a strong wifi signal (4 to 5 feet), but at -96 to -106 to roaming 3G signal. I've found that it will try to use Wifi in both cases.
[Hero CDMA General] bitbang3r:
Yeah, it's something I've googled a few times, but it seems to be one of the great unexplored issues. Occasional anecdotal observations, but nobody who really knows what's officially intended to happen has ever really blogged about it online ;) At first, it seemed pretty obvious that it would probably try to always use WiFi when possible, but when my own app started dying randomly with no route to host errors (even when I was standing with the phone literally 5 feet from the access point's antenna), I started to wonder what was really going on behind the scenes.
[Hero CDMA General] jmxp69:
IP routes are decided on subnets, masks, metrics. In most routing devices, there isn't additional intelligence unless a routing protocol is invoked, and even then, the protocol algorithm determines the best route and that route is placed in the routing table (successors are saved and inserted in the event an active route goes down).

These are all static default and subnet specific routes. Can you open adb shell, show your route table, and run a few traces to various external and internal addresses?
[Hero CDMA General] jmxp69:
I honestly don't think signal strength has anything to do with it. It should be a routing table decision.

I'm going to try a little experiment...hang on.
[Hero CDMA General] jmxp69:
Ok, I disable CDMA and checked the route table:

# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 tiwlan0
default 10.1.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tiwlan0
# ping google.com
PING google.com (74.125.95.106) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from iw-in-f106.1e100.net (74.125.95.106): icmp_seq=1 ttl=50 time=223 ms
^C

Note, ping still works and the Sprint 108.x network and associated default gw are gone.

Interestingly, when I re-enabled CDMA, the 108.x default route wasn't added back into the table and the mobile network wouldn't connect until I disabled wi-fi.

# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 tiwlan0
default 10.1.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tiwlan0
# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 tiwlan0
default 10.1.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tiwlan0
# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 tiwlan0
default 10.1.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tiwlan0

Ping still works though:

# ping google.com
PING google.com (74.125.95.99) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from iw-in-f99.1e100.net (74.125.95.99): icmp_seq=1 ttl=50 time=1453 ms
64 bytes from iw-in-f99.1e100.net (74.125.95.99): icmp_seq=2 ttl=50 time=449 ms

Once I disabled wi-fi:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
108.101.213.xx * 255.255.255.252 U 0 0 0 rmnet0
default 108.101.213.xx 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 rmnet0

Turning wi-fi back on places the tiwlan0 default back in the table above rmnet0 and traceroute went back to my 10.x gateway. This is very deterministic and exactly what I'd expect except for rmnet0 not coming back up with wi-fi enabled. It should...

# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
108.101.213.xxx * 255.255.255.252 U 0 0 0 rmnet0
10.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 tiwlan0
default 10.1.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tiwlan0
default 108.101.213.xxx 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 rmnet0
[Hero CDMA General] kkruse:
The metric field in route on linux decides the weight on multiple routes, but android doesn't set it properly. Hope that makes sense.

It Is how a ' normal' linux kernel decides.
[Hero CDMA General] jmxp69:
That's great, but the tests I ran showed deterministic behavior.

What's your source for this statement? Whether or not metrics are being used, the behavior I saw showed corresponding routing behavior.

Care to elaborate?

(Just like everything, I am not responsible to whatever happens to your phone…):rolleyes:

(for the Nexus 1 – I’m on cyan 5.0.5.3 by the way…)

My first thread! Whooo hoo! lol :D

So I got this from somewhere/one here at XDA, can’t remember who? Sorry…Credits to you! I take no credit! :p

It works but I do get some FC’s. Can someone try to fix this! So all of us on XDA can enjoy this HTC Music App. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE ….. (THE WIDGET DOES WORK!)

(In theory , if we can make this music app work, can’t we make the HTC camera work? :confused:

By the way I would like to take this opportunity to say XDA/Devs/Members ROCK! ;)

Installation instructions!

-download…

-save to the root of your sd card…

-go into recovery…

-flash this zip and reboot!

ENJOY! :D

Lol no I'm gunna try with these libs again but from the Desire ROM tonight in an update.zip format. I seem to have better luck with that than adb lol so it may or may not work. Might not be low res, can't tell from the screenshots and haven't flashed it yet.

Also, sorry if I sounded condescending, I had originally meant to post this in my thread about the Desire app, but ended up here. You didn't say it was the Desire app, my bad.

Maybe a Fix would be : like this : (removing the built-in android music app )

adb remount

Im guessing it would work ! Just an idea ! :cool:

Ok thats what I thought. It is the old Hero version we already ported lol. Thats alright though.

About me trying the new version, I forgot I have a science project due friday, I have to work on my display. If I finish then I'll try it, if not it won't be until next week I get a chance because I have a concert tomorrow night, then I'll be gone all weekend for a tournament across the state.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Brajin:
Thanks for giving this a shot. It is still kinda choppy after removing the Google Music app and the resolution is kinda off, but none the less thanks for giving this a shot. If you try and port over the application from the desire build that would be sick!
