Ok, I've been trying to get GPS on my xv6800 phone for months and months to no avail. As you all know, this is an old issue, with lots of posts all over the place, so just hammering down good info has been a task unto itself.

The only reason I am working on it now is because my wife, daughter and I are about to make a cross-country trip.

The most recent thing I've done (as of today) is to follow the aGPS directions on the xda-wiki, paraphrased as below:

1) Hard reset

2) Valhalla + soft reset

3) Serf telus for Valhalla

4) *22899

5) Google maps installed

What happens:

Google just searches for satellites until it gets bored. My phone indicates that a data session is active the whole time.

I'm pulling my hair out, please help!
[General Questions and Answers] docmatt:
update

Update:

Using the GPS viewer program found on the wiki gps-fix article. Using the scan function, it finds GPS on com 4 (yay), but can't get a fix.
[General Questions and Answers] docmatt:
Update 2

So...it started working. I used this:

/showthread.php?t=363431

Basically, I turned off, then on, my location (it was already on), and then I soft reset. It works like a charm.

Question to those who already have been using gps with the titan: do you get charged data when you use aGPS? It seems like it uses about 2KB for me, but if I kill the connection, it still works. Thoughts?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjmovie:
So far I've only had success using mencoder (ffmpeg could do it, probably better, but I needed the ability to bake in subtitles). It requires some rather specific settings for the portions of the full h264 spec it supports. Not sure if you're a command-line fan, but this is what I've been using:

mencoder input.avi -o output.mp4 -vf dsize=800:480:2,scale=-8:-8,harddup -lavfopts format=mp4 -ovc x264 -x264encopts nocabac:level_idc=30:bframes=0:bitrate=512:threads=auto:turbo=1:frameref=6:trellis=1:chroma_me -oac faac -faacopts mpeg=4:object=2:raw:br=128
ffmpeg -i output.mp4 -vc copy -acodec copy final.mp4

The ffmpeg final pass is required because the support for mp4 files is broken in mencoder. ffmpeg, however, is capable of passing through the video/audio data to a properly written mp4 file.

The only downside is an odd quirk with the quality... If the file is played after mencoder runs but before ffmpeg (in VLC, which can use the incorrect mp4 files) it has great quality, but after the simple passthrough with ffmpeg the quality drops drastically. This doesn't really make sense to me... any ideas?

If you're not a fan of command line wizardry, I'd recommend just getting Handbrake and setting it to the preset iPod Legacy (this has the same basic spec you'll need). You can then modify it as needed for resolution etc. but the quality settings that defaults to are almost ideal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rljetsetradio:
commandline is fine. thanks for the info.:)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Burst_:
not sure how impressed you are going to be with 800x480. My attempts looked washed out.

What I was wondering, the same as you, what is a higher res that the Evo will support. Namely, the Transformers movies on the HD2 looked way better than this. What did they use?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjmovie:
Assuming you aren't exporting the video through the HDMI port, 800x480 is exactly what you want. Maybe even less - equivalent bitrates at lower resolutions will equal better quality video. I'm no expert on hardware decoding, but I believe bitrate (after supported parts of the spec) is the main limiting factor for what the phone can and can't decode.

The video I converted looked great before I did the mp4 fix, even at the low bitrates (note I'm using 500kbps target in a single pass)... still not sure what's going on there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarryn:
It seems your ffmpeg commandline was slightly off. -vc is the "Set video grab channel (DV1394 only)." option. So, you were actually doing a re-encode to mpeg4. What you wanted to specify was "-vcodec copy" like this:

mencoder input.avi -o output.mp4 -vf dsize=800:480:2,scale=-8:-8,harddup -lavfopts format=mp4 -ovc x264 -x264encopts nocabac:level_idc=30:bframes=0:bitrate=512:threads=auto:turbo=1:frameref=6:trellis=1:chroma_me -oac faac -faacopts mpeg=4:object=2:raw:br=128
ffmpeg -i output.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy final.mp4

and that makes it look much nicer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eat it iPhone:
Ive been using Handbrake 0.9.4 (the newer one was giving me poor video results).

For HD video i do 1280x720, set bitrate to about 1500kb/s. For DVD i just leave the resolution and set anamorphic to none. I also set 2 pass and turbo first pass. I set audio to stereo and the bitrate to about 128. Also i save as .m4v

It may take a little tweaking for you. Videos range from 800MB - 1.5GB. You could probably lower the bitrate on DVD video and be ok too to save space.

I do them this way so i can play them via HDMI out on a TV in 720p (HD source) or in similar quality to DVD. Video looks great on the phone and pretty good on my 37" HDTV.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slayer214:
I updated my phone to froyo and have been testing out previous radios to see if there is any difference in reception at my home. Normally I would just reflash the froyo rom to get the new update radio, but I have bought some gameloft games. I would not be able to reinstall the games after a wipe. Anyway, does anyone just have the new updated radio, without the rom? Or does anyone just have link to the newest radio? I searched and could not find one.

Thanks,
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Just extract it from the rom with a radio.

Better question is why you can't reinstall games you bought...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slayer214:
How would I install the radio if it is not a signed zip file?

Because gameloft does not allow you to redownload the extra files you need to play there games. I could back it all up and reinstall, but I am hearing from other users that there is problems getting them to play correctly after a wipe and reinstall. There games are not yet available from the marketplace, and I do not want to have to pay the games more than once. I do not want to have to pirate the games. Better off to support the devs.

Dunno if this has been brought up before, but I just wanted to mention that the TP2 battery has the exact same specs as the Evo battery and works just fine and dandy. Figured it out after a night at the bar when my phone died and I had my old TP2 in the glove box.

So even if you don't have a TP2 lying around like I do, the batteries are much cheaper than a new Evo batt.

Cheers!

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phobia:
I got a HTC hero 2 days ago myself. It also came with 1.5 so I rooted it using the root method for 1.5, created a nanodroid backup. Flashed a new radio (2.42.01.04.27) and am using the Fresh 2.1.2 rom by flipz..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
FRESH rom is sweet, i put 2.0d on my girlfriends phone. its STABLE trust me. she will complain about the tiniest thing. but i haven't heard a peep out of her about that rom for at least a month. i'm sure she has NEVER rebooted it. if so you could count it on one hand. seriously they should change the name of the rom to "sprint official 2.1"

the downside is flipz got a EVO. so any forward development on that rom is going to be slim/none as far as i can tell.

damageless also is no longer deving the hero as far as i know.

this is why i recommend darchdroid. he is ACTIVELY deving this rom. everyday.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krevitz:
I'll take a look at that one too, thanks for your suggestions and your time guys.

and yesterday i flashed Buufed 1.6 also very very sweet.

can't go wrong with any of the roms, they all have bugs. but some bother some people and some don't.

anything based of FRESH or DAMAGE CONTROL is good too if you like sense

[EVO 4G General] Grims:
I have a vanilla build, all updates, no exchange.

Took the EVO out of my pocket today, tried to unlock it and touchscreen wasn't responding...turned the screen off and tried to turn it back on but it wouldn't. Ended up having to pop the battery and replace it.

That doesn't impress me for a two day old device.
[EVO 4G General] Farmer42:
How often has it happened? This happens occasionally in a lot of devices. One of the first things most people do when troubleshooting laptops, for example, it to unplug it and remove the battery. Sometimes, a power setting get's bugged. Heck, I've seen it happen on an iPhone, which is a reall B to get taken care of if you like your warranty.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
This story reminds me of people who bought a Ferrari and because they paid over 200K they didn't expect it to have brakes that squealed or have anything break on it for the lifetime of the car.

It happens. If it is repeated then its another story. But if you had to pull the battery once in every 100 uses would it be too much?

I had to replaced 4 Iphones within 2 months and lost my current data because the thing locked up. Once it happened as I was leaving the store before I had the change to even mess with it. It locked up and would not reset.

I hope that its an isolated problem with the phone and if not just get a new one.
[EVO 4G General] Grims:
I was a windows mobile user for years...theses kind of issues were almost expected. I then got an iphone...and found out you dont have to deal with theses issues. It always worked (the phone anyway, network is another issue) I think it maybe froze once while I owned it...and it was jailbroke with backgrounding apps running.

I don't think it's wrong to expect the same from an HTC Android device... I rely on this thing, it's not a toy...it shouldn't behave like one.

Maybe I'm a little gun shy, as my last HTC device was a nightmare (HTC Touch) went through 9 devices until I left sprint all together.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
Then you got a good IPHONE. I so happened to have 4 bad ones. I expect my phone to work. The EVO and the INCREDIBLE has worked from day one.

I have been around Windows Phones for a long time as well. I don't expect it to lock up but it does.

I have come to expect that THERE ARE NO MANUFACTURERS that create 100% working out of the box phones.
[EVO 4G General] jasonziter:
Wow!

I am surprised anyone is having any SERIOUS issues.

1. Iphone 3G

2. HTC HD2

3. Now the EVO

This was my most recent line up. The iphone 3g was a great device. GREAT. Just like the first car when people were used to walking. Innovative device severely limited and relatively stable. The HD2 is a major junk pile. I hacked it, flashed it, and tried to make it work. The EVO is beautiful and leaps above both of the above. I won't bother you all with my drivel, but the ONLY problem I have (except wanting to sleep less to mess with it) is the headphone jack thinking I am plugging in a headset (mic) and going completely apes%$t. The voice dialing went nuts. The music players would skip over and over again. Then I searched the droid forums and saw the:

HEADSET BLOCKER WIDGET.

Remember this, because I am sure this problem in particular was not limited to my phone as it has been reported on a number of HTC devices. Who uses those silly corded headsets anymore???? Um.....BLUETOOTH.

Good luck to those of you with problems. I absolutely worship the EVO so far. Its nearly seamless to this point.
[EVO 4G General] pwabbit:
I was out to dinner with my friend who owns a iPhone. He said the only complaint he had was that his iPhone freezes up on him. I told him all computers are prone to that. Even my daughter's iPod freezes. The main problem with the iPhone is the battery cannot be removed to reset the entire circuitry. At least with HTC products, the battery can be removed to reset. If the iPhone's reset-circuit becomes corrupted, the battery WILL have to be removed to reset it. What a bummer. My Evo has not had even one problem.
[EVO 4G General] RTessi:
I had a similar issue to the original poster, but it doesn't just happen on the lockscreen is is prevelant through the entire phone.

My issue is that the top half of the touchscreen seems to become "dead" and does not accept input for anywhere from 5 seconds to 20 seconds. Pulling the battery helps but this is starting to happen frequently enough in many different places of the OS and apps that i don't think it is a software issue.

My local store is out of stock and will call then they get more in stock to replace, but at this point I'll have to deal with it and see how often it comes up.

Hello all,

I have an HTC Touch on the Bell Mobility network. For the last few weeks it has been getting flaky connectivity and i assumed that was due to outages. This weekend it decided to stop getting any connection and keeps searching. I have tried unlocking and flashed to the NFSROM for windows 6.5 (hoping it was simply a software issue). This did not resolve the problem, and lastnight i happened to get about 2 minutes of connectivity.

any suggestions on tests i can do on the phone to determine the issue, Bells only response is to buy a new phone.

Thanks in advance.

My company requires that I use Blackberry service. The company uses a Blackberry Enterprise Server. The company also requires I use a Blackberry unit. Initially I downloaded Blackberry Connect onto my HTC Tytn II (defying requirements). But after about a month I received an inquiry asking which Blackberry model was the HTC Kaiser. My ruse had been discovered. I acquired a Blackberry Bold which I am now forced to use. And my Tytn II is gathering dust. My question is, "Can I modify anything in my HTC Tytn II so it reports that it is a Blackberry Bold to my company's Blackberry Enterprise Server"? Then I can go back to using my favored Tytn II.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Unless you want to wait until Halloween to disguise it:D , I think it's not possible due to the same thing that you are stating in your post. The BB service will recognize an HTC device eventhough you are using BB connect. I don't know if someone has developed a tool or software to "disguise" a HTC to be a BB since I think it will be ridiculous since our HTC phones in personal opinion are way better than BB, so no one will see this as "productive" to do :p. Maybe I'm wrong, but the answer can be in a wonderful tool that I know will reveal your wishes.....Google....

Mr. Clown - Like your picture, I only want my HTC to appear like a BB on the Blackberry Enterprise Server. I think this does have merit since it could mean more HTCs in use. If my HTC can report (only report) to the BES that it is a BB, then I can use my HTC. If not, I must use my inferior BB
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Handsome right :D,

I got your point, but my answer is that you can't do it, unless you are a very good hacker to disguise your htc in the bb service report. Sorry dude, you'll need to use your crappy BB unless you get a special permit to use your kaiser.

Good Luck

You just have to be that person it doesn't want to deal with.

Just keep saying but it is a blackberry like you are a total retard. They will give up and leave you alone. I.e. If you said the internet was free because you can grab it out of the thin air enough times and just keep repeating that like its a god given law they will tire of trying to explain it to you. Or if you just keep saying but Jesus is still alive frantically. You're problem is you're being reasonable with you while they're being irreasonable to you, you just need to speak thier language - It's a blackberry! Then just hit whatever you do to connect to the blackberry service and when the blackberry logo pops up say see! its a blackberry. If they ask you what type of phone it is say I don't know its a blackberry, when they say how do you know that say that when you turn it on you see the words blackberry pop up. If you really need to replace your splash image to say blackberry. If they say its an htc then say well how come he can have a bold, and she can have a world phone, but I can't have an htc I thought I was allowed to have a blackberry too. Trust me they'll give up.

Of course in this economy you may just want to keep using the bold cause the reasonable intelligent person who works under the irreasonable person making the policy may wanna have you fired because they too are actually irreasonable too.

by the way, they are probably doing that so they can spy on you. I don't know the blackberry enterprise but if it comes down to not being cool w/ interoperability through blackberry connect it likely comes down to centralized administration and policy enforcement (*cough spying*).. So while you use your bb just make sure you serially text "I love the company, the company is good, the company is comely".

Well I don't know about playing the "retard" is a very good choice. Because, I imagine the only thing that this guys form IT know very well in the company are BB!, don't you think:rolleyes:.
