I do hear the WP7 keyboard can be considered to top the iPhone's.

However, I do have a question for Swype users. What happens when you swype from o to r? I personally use both or and our extensively. On my WM6, it often prioritises one and hence I have to go back, tap the word, then select the word I want. That's grossly inefficient for inputting a two/three letter word.

There are plenty more examples where Swype has been hell to me. A 4-inch capacitive screen with full QWERTY will be a relief.
[Omnia 7 General] Antiskunk:
You can either hop between letters for better accuracy, or squiggle the letter to input manually. There are a list of tips on their website which makes it seem immensely more useful; though I'm not sure I would use it on WP7 as the keyboard is already excellent.

[General Questions and Answers] Lex2810:
Hi all!

I am actually trying to cook my first ROM for my Topaz, and I'm encountering several difficulties :D. Actually, my biggest problem for the moment is about the EXT packages.

First, I need to have something clarified : EXT packages depend on the device you are using, right? So for example, you can't use the same packages on both a TP2 and a Topaz.

Because then, I can't find the latest packages released for the Topaz, so what am I supposed to do to get them? How do the chefs do to find theirs?

Just for precision, I'm using visual osKitchen.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Senax,

Thank you for your link! :) I found plenty of interesting and helpful information!

But I 'm still blocked, I couldn't find any recent EXT packages for the Topaz. Is there a place where they are uploaded and where I could download them? Or is there another way to find them?

The only package I have is the one I get when I imported the last official ROM from HTC, and oskitchen won't allow me to import cooked ROMs, I get an error... (which I actually find quite normal, it would be like copying the other chefs' work, and I don't want that either)

And from what is written on most chefs' ROMs presentation pages, I can see that my EXT package is already quite outdated.

Thanks again for your help.

cifs.ko for AU Vodafone

This isn't going to be of any help to you guys, however if anyone has an AU Vodafone DHD (2.6.32.21-g66cfb7a), the attached file contains:

slow-work.ko, cifs.ko & nls_utf8.ko

In a terminal app execute the following:

su
insmod slow-work.ko
insmod cifs.ko
insmod nls_utf8.ko

Then you can open CifsManager and attempt to mount a share. Use an app like GScript Lite if you don't want to type the above out multiple times.

The zip file also includes tun.ko (unrelated to file sharing, but useful for VPN tunneling). You can delete it if you have no use for it.

tun.ko was easy to compile, the cifs related ones were a pain in the ass. I've tried them, and they do work on a rooted AU Vodafone.

Can someone point me to a step by step guide for dummies on how to upgrade the ROM?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab General] shollywood:
You will need to download a FULL firmware like JJ4 which has everything you need, including PIT file needed. Using Odin, select the PIT, CSC, Modem and Phone in there appropriate slots, select all areas, repartition, auto reboot, reset time and go. Then for non FULL firmwares, like JK1, you can just update the one area, without repartition.

This is how I did it anyway.....

hi guys, i just dont know why my DHD gps signal is so weak. today i've been driving for 30 km and it could not connect to the satelites, all the way down it was "searching for gps". when i stop the car sometimes it finds the gps signal, but when i starting to drive, the signal drops down again. same problem with locations and google navigation. any ideas folks ?
[Desire HD General] misterzak:
Could be anything really, there are a lot of factors. If you're riding a hayabusa, it might not be able to keep up......!

Just did a factory restore. Still can't get gps signal to work.

Before the DHD I had a HTC desire and it had a perfect gps signal. Now I place my dhd in the same place and its just showing "searching for gps" all the time. Sometimes he catch up the signal, but it drops down very soon. Maybe there is any solutions how to fix it. Please help me people :)

Latest updates of locations of satellites? How can I do that?

[Desire HD General] mats-norway:
Did you get any answer from HTC? I have also problems with the GPS-signals on my DHD. Have you checked your gps.conf file in the \etc\ directory?

My gps.conf file contains a NTP server line and it says North-America.pool.ntp.org. I think that this is what causes the slow GPS fix.

Your'e from Irland and I'm from Norway and be both should use the european NTP server. Anyone else may know something about this?
[Desire HD General] sm4100:
I have the same frustrating problem, just bought my DHD full of expectation here in Dubai. I bought it new at Dubai Airport Duty free and it came with same problem, very poor (nearly zero) GPS reception. It also comes with NTP_Server file north america.pool

But I really believe there is something wrong with the hardware because when I contacted HTC and shortly explained the problem with the GPS reception they immediately ask me to return the product to the HTC technical center here for repair/replacement if necessary (mine is still under warranty). The fact that they so quickly advised me to return the device made me think this is a known problem for them but since their office is so far from my house I am still relutant to take my phone there (this is a nightmare for a brand new phone of 700 USD) I tried everything I could, factory reset, different rom's, all possible apps in the world!, anything you imagine including laying the phone on my backyard overnight with full 360g sky view + data and Wi-Fi connected but no success at all, just 3 or 4 sats on view with poor reception. My HD2 with WM6.5 and Android can fix signal using same apps in 5 sec. inside my room!!! my DHD takes hours for a very weak signal and it drops like anything. I will take my phone to service center this week, can't wait anymore for a web solution...what a hassle...

[Desire HD General] ruchern:
Must it be rooted to edit the GPS.conf?
[Desire HD General] NeitherJohn:
Download GPS Status from the Market. There's an option there to clear the A-GPS state and download new data from the mobile network!

Try that before sending it back. My DHD took ages to get a fix when I first got it, but now it fixes in seconds once the A-GPS state has been updated.
[Desire HD General] jurasgd:
I've had this problem with different gps devices in the past and my dhd as well. You just have to leave it exposed to the sky for long enough to acquire current satelite locations. Preferably stationary otherwise it won't. Another way is to update the list over the internet with gps status or similar. No hardware problem tho.
[Desire HD General] sm4100:
Well.....as I said before....I tried GPS Test, GPS Status and many others. I have downloaded A-GPS quick fix info from the web, I have left the device exposed to open sky overnight and stationary, etc, etc, etc. No way to get a good signal, it always drop with any movement on the phone. I took my DHD this morning to the service center and a lady, supposedly technician tried to convince me for an hour that I have to leave 3G + Wi-Fi connected in order to use GPS. How comes the technical representative of HTC here in Dubai can be so stupid in telling me such rubbish.... anyways I was so pissed to see that she knew nothing about the phone neither GPS.... ok...story short.. I finally talked to her boss who very luckly had a DHD too. I took this guy outside the shop and showed him my DHD was searching for GPS signal forever and I did the same procedure in his phone in front of both of them. His DHD fixed signal in 5 sec. using Navi Premium, mine was still searching, ing, ing... The same guy called some other " HTC regional office" and someone told him that the version 1.32.405.6 (which is the one on my DHD) needs a ROM update because of language problems and very known problem with poor GPS reception however this ROM will be available only btw Feb/Mar. I was happy on one side to know that they acknowledged the problem, on the other hand we all have to wait 2 month for using the GPS. Whether this ROM in fact will solve the problem or not, this even they don't know, for now, useless GPS on my DHD and let's keep waiting. I am a bit skeptical about this ROM update since I have tried many different ROMs Stock and Custom even some of them with gps.conf europe.pool but no success, off course I didn't tell this to them otherwise I would void my warranty. My last chance is these new ROM release otherwise they will replace my GPS antenna or main board as far as they told me.
[Desire HD General] jurasgd:
I'd regard it as hardware problem.
[Desire HD General] sm4100:
I am 99% convinced it's hardware problem too but before they mess up with my device trying to replace GPS antenna I will give it a last try with this new ROM release. I know very well how these people work here in Dubai and the last thing I want is people oppening my DHD and soldering components etc. I d rather accept one factory refurbished than fixing mine with those unskilled people. I hope they at least change the whole thing inside instead of replacing micro components.

I found this?

It´s actually for the nexus one with the CyanogenMod 6 (http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/09/09/gps-fix-for-cyanogenmod-6-on-the-nexus-one/)...

Can someone try it and tell me if it work? I have the same problem but as I´am a new user of android , I´m a little bit affraid to do this...

* Take your SIM out of the Nexus One

* Power on the device

* Turn WiFi on

* Turn GPS on

* Open application: GPS Status

* Go into its Settings menu

* Click on GPS and Sensors

* Click Manage A-GPS state

* Click Reset

* Click Manage A-GPS state again

* Click Download

* Now put your phone on a stable, straight surface in order to enable the phone to get a lock. This time, you’ll see your phone get the lock back way faster than before.

With that done, now it’s time to put your SIM back in and use the network to secure a quick GPS fix as well.

Hi all, I had mine first DHD and phone was great no any problems at all, only gps issue, take ages to locate and I just moved and lost gps again, I done very deep research on net - xda.., and nothing help.., mine old htc touch hd locate gps in seconds, but with DHD I was lost .., no gps at all, then I decide to change it for new one, and this just confirmed to me : first was 100% faulty - hardware issue, second DHD locate gps in seconds, somethimes even faster as old Touch HD, now I am very pleased with phone, and I can say fo the moment is THE BEST PHONE on the market.., If you tried all options to fixed it and nothing help, changed soon as possible for new one.., good luck..

[Desire HD General] marty7:
So, is it a hw prob or fw? Because when i'm in another country trying to get a fix it takes up to five min and more. Using WiFi it's fast like lightning..
[Desire HD General] tuk11:
I too have tried everything to get a better GPS fix. Fastest fix ever was on a roof, clear blue sky and 360 degrees vision... even then it only found 7-8 sats and took over a minute to lock. When i'm down on the ground it'll hardly ever lock with 5, maybe 6 sats fixed but no location lock.

My little brother's HTC Hero gets fixes within 10-15 seconds where my DHD doesn't get any, ever.

Can this still be related to software/radio? Or can i be sure it's a hardware problem? If so, where would i begin restoring everything to stock so i can try to send it back under warranty?

Thanks loads in advance!
[Desire HD General] ErOR22:
I use a case-mate on my DHD which is thick plastic and I get GPS signal with ease. What I use to help the device get a GPS signal are three programs. FasterFix lets me easily select a server to get a more accurate time from a NTP closer to me, ClockSync to synchronize the clock and GPS Status to download a-gps data.

To get a GPS signal lock you must be outside, indoors is unstable. I do agree that the signal is weak compared to other phones. My i900 does a much better job at being a GPS device.
[Desire HD General] jittery:
mine can connect in few seconds in the car...when im overseas it'll search quite a while for the first gps fix..but rarely more than 5 mins.

I have the latest radio (Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3) . It is better than the original one but still the GPS takes a while to lock ( only sometimes and in some regions )

have tried everything i have come across on the internett. GPS Status, FasterFix, change APN settings and the list goes on, tried to roll back to google maps 5.0.0 (someone said this worked) BUT NO

Sometimes i get a lock quite fast, other times it takes waaaaay to long.

I'm thinking of sending my phone back, but is it HW or SW that f*** up this?

no point of returning my phone, just to get another one with just the same problem.

COME ON HTC! DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!
[Desire HD General] deej78:
Possible Solution.

I had the same issues. I live in the Republic of Ireland and I was getting very frustrated as my DHD would not find any satellites. I soon came to the realisation something was wrong as we had a tomtom nav working tickity boo right next to us. Later that evening I took a couple of photos at a party and when I went to look through them I discovered I could'nt flow the gallery at all, jumpy, stuttering, locking up. Searched 'this' problem on the internet and the solution was to 'Enable' USB debugging in Settings > Applications > Development. BANG Smooth as ****, GPS lock within a minuet, ''Please follow the road''! Clearly the stuttering, performance issue regarding this setting was destroying any chance of GPS being able to run at all let alone get a lock.

I also make a point of enabling mobile data before I leave the house, when I get to the car I then enable gps. Put your seatbelt on and adjust your Nutsack/Ballbag, then, enable Nav or Car Panel and search for your destination.

I know its basic but have all the Toggles at the very top on your first homescreen, move weather clock underneath to the middle. I have Airplane, Wifi, Mobile, GPS, Navigation and Car Panel, and a shortcut to Accounts and Sync. It just makes life a lot easier than try to search all these settings in 20 clicks when you have somewhere to get to.

I use NAV to find stuff like Tesco Supermarkets, and Carpanel for towns and Addresses. Searching in Ireland brings up a whole new discussion lol.

Hope this works for you, if you havent already tried it.
[Desire HD General] Bodyworks:
Awesome results with FasterFix. I never got any satellite locks INDOOR. At the moment i'm sitting downfloor near a little window and i get 5 -6 satellites locked. Outdoor i get 8-10 satellites locked stable within seconds. Acurracy is 2 meters (8-9 feet). Never having such precision. I like to use gps test from market.

Thanks ErOR22 for that tip.
