[Vibrant General] ZX3ZX4:
I've got an unrooted Vibrant bought in July 2010 whose GPS rarely worked and almost never locked on any satellites. After J16 I get a quick lock on 6-9 out of 11-12 satellites. I am satisfied with it now 99% of time for navigation purposes. I do sometimes get wandering of the target from Google Earth even when standing still.
[Vibrant General] m509272:
I'm not so sure about that. I hooked it up to my bluetooth GPS and it looked good for a little while, maybe a few minutes, when sitting at my desk. Then it started going wacky, progressively bouncing the pointer farther and farther from the real position. It might be the software that's bad. I'm going to experiment with it tomorrow on a long trip and try various settings.
[Vibrant General] eortizr:
Its a hardware problem..
[Vibrant General] mobilebone:
I have to agree. I had the built in car navigation and the vibrant side by side. The vibrant is 200 yards behind while moving. Even when pointing on the current location, it is wondering around the neighborhood on a 200 yard range.
[Vibrant General] m509272:
So what's your explanation for what I see with an external GPS which works fine with a laptop? That a phone hardware problem too?

As far as using the internal I've seen it work for an hour fine and then start flippin out. Then again I've seen it flip out in 5-10 minutes.
[Vibrant General] intruda119:
Gps is one of those things I rarely think about until I have to actually use it. I just came from a week trip to Atlanta and it connected once during my week stay. The GPS on this phone is crap, I feel bad for anyone that has to use it daily. Luckily I got 3g there and was using google maps to help me find locations. My recent devices Milestone and HD2 connected within seconds. This thing is always searching for a signal with a clear view to the sky.

Im in North Florida if that means anything.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
i ran bionix final which i think is the ota ji6, not the kies leak ji6 and the gps didn't work well. but the ji2 gps flash worked great, and the ji6 gps in bionix fusion works great.

you are posting on xda, if you just want to complain go to tmonews or something, otherwise there are a lot of easy fixes that are like 5 clicks away...
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
GPS works fine for me on JI6, however there seems to be a communications error between certain Google apps and the GPS. I use CoPilot. On Bionix Final my GPS went from good, to ok, to bad, to horrific in a matter of days.
[Vibrant General] samnada:
I've seen some issues with Google Nav as well. Did some Googling and it's not just the Galaxy S or Samsnug phones. Many users with different brands and models have reported recent problems with the Nav and Map apps.
[Vibrant General] zoid_99:
Very wonky

Here's a may I did yesterday. All was good fo awhile until I stopped for a turn and it went ape $@*#.

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=201142930973527917117.0004944eca8f57406c83e

I can assure you that at no time did I ever go 118 mph. This is just one sample. It does it all the time. I've tried every different firmware I can load including stock and I get the same results. I've tried all of the GPS fixes and nothing. Some days it never even locks. I'm convinced that it is a hardware issue.
[Vibrant General] dattaway:
GPS works for me most of the time. Sometimes it will show I'm in my house. Sometimes my neighbors. Sometimes down the street. A few times across the city.

I wish it was half as good as the wifi. This thing can pull in an access point like it had a high gain directional antenna built in.
[Vibrant General] m509272:
I'm even more convinced it's the software. Now my external GPS won't lock either. Sees 12 sats, I can see the data coming in, but it never locks any sat.

Just a quick question:

Is there any reason why m-deejay`s stuff wont`t work on my HD2? I have upgraded to the latest update that HTC has provided, but i can`t seem to boot any of his builds. JDMS, on the other hand, is working fine.

Anyone have an idea?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
It's strange. I have test Latest Stock ROM 3.14 (without HSPL) and tested at the same way a Android build from m-deejay (Desire HD build) without problems.

The only thing I can imagine is that you didn't remove HSPL; this cause limitation of available program memory!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svendheim:
No, that is sadly not the case. HSPL has never been installed on my phone :( Guess I will try a couple more times.

Jumping back to topic:

I just got my HD2 a couple a days ago installed the latest HTC update. Does anybody have instructions on how to downgrade SPL to, say, 2.08?

Would be fun to try some custom roms.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
With the latest stock rom (3.14) you can't change your spl version!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:

You can also use SSPL fore installing a custom ROM over Stock ROM 3.14

[Fascinate General] CNemo7539:
Hi all!

It's not that I complain about phone slowness, but just out of curiosity...

I've seen Galaxy S Tab review and it stated that tester was constantly pulling 14 MGFlops in Linpack. Tab has same CPU as Fascinate.

What is strange is that on my phone I'm always around 8 MGFlops. Stock, minimum of applications, just after reboot.

So, I wonder where is the other half?
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
Tab has froyo. Whick is faster. And you have eclair on you fascinate. MFLOPS =millions of floating linear operations per seconds
[Fascinate General] CNemo7539:
Oh, OK. I guess I missed this point somehow... That makes sense now.

[EVO 4G General] stalsdayoungvet:
Just a note to any xda members that are thinking of changing out you evo camera for any reason. You may want to think twice. Sprint has just announced internally that htc will be shipping out evo's with a second source camera module to keep up with sprint's demand for the phones over the holiday season. Placing an imcompatible camera module into a device can have negative affects resulting in damage to your precious ev. Just a heads up :D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech338:
I've played with a lot of great kernels lately, but it is getting hard to compare them against the stock kernel, as I haven't used that in a while. I'd like to get back to the stock kernal (using a almost-stock ROM)

My question is: How can I get back to the stock kernel? Is there a zip file I can flash somewhere (searched and couldn't find)? I could Nandroid back, but I don't want to have to redo a bunch of tinkering I've done lately.

If not, can I push the stock kernel to the phone via ADB? After searching, it seems that the kernel is in the boot.img? Can I just grab a stock boot image from FRG83 and flash it to the phone via ADB command line/ terminal? Something tells me it's not that easy.

I've also read alot about building a kernel in linux using repositories and repacking it. I'm not sure I am up for that quite yet...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
If you can get a stock boot.img (that you're sure matches up with what you're running), you should be able to flash that while in hboot mode with the following command:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwazi:
errr I would definitely advise against just flashing the boot.img

Those updated kernels often bring re-compiled modules (like for WiFi), if you just flash the boot.img, the stock kernel won't be able to interface with those modules and you could have all kinds of bugs.

Plus (although I'm not sure), I think you need more than the boot.img and modules...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
Good catch. I forgot about that aspect. Though I suppose you could flash the boot.img and push the various required modules. But it would really just be easier to reflash a stock rom.

Hey everyone,

Fix for 2.2 phones has been uploaded to the Market

Update (11-16-2010}

Android 2.2 fix coming tonight or tomorrow

This is my first app and I built it because at the time there was nothing like it. Now there are a few others out there but I've tried to add as many features as possible. I have a lot of other upcoming features just wanted to get it out there.

***You must have root access***

Features:

Reboot, Fast Reboot, Reboot recovery, Reboot fastboot/download, Power off

FAST REBOOT is here...2.5x faster than a normal reboot.

Schedule a nightly reboot

-Notification in status bar with next reboot date and time

-Silent mode to keep your phone silent during the scheduled reboot

-SilentModeOff - Remove silent mode after reboot

Long press the search hardware button on our phone to select from a list of reboot options(Reboot, Reboot recovery, Reboot fastboot/download, Power off)

There is a 4x1 widget with all options plus a configuration button.

-3 different widget backgrounds, 5 different colors for the icons

You can add shortcuts for individual reboot types or there is one for a selected (will show a dialog of all reboot options)

I'd appreciate any feedback you all have. You can use the QR code below or search for Reboot Manager / Widget on the market.
[Android Apps and Games] terenceleechan:
reboot fastboot option similar to the fast boot in desire hd/z?
[Android Apps and Games] cody_04l:
That fast boot option will be coming in the next release. The current fast boot option will take you to Android Fastboot mode. I will be adding an option for "Hot Reboot" which will reboot in half the time of a normal reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] terenceleechan:
that's what i wanted to hear. thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] cody_04l:

Thanks,

[Android Apps and Games] bradleyw801:
Sometimes on the bus, I like to turn on wireless tether and ask the person next to me if they would like to access my personal hotspot. :)

[Android Apps and Games] cody_04l:
I'm in the final stages of testing as we speak. I'll keep this post updated with the progress (I hope to have it published sometime tonight or tomorrow). I'm also thinking about making the icons more "factory" looking, but that will be in the next release if I choose to change them. Might also make the icon changes a option.

Also working on some bugs associated with HTC Sense roms.

So does this work with the HTC Evo? and if so, which key press do you use to get the activation menu?
[Android Apps and Games] cody_04l:
It should work. I'm in the process of changing the way I do the reboots which will make the app a lot more flexible. I'm finding phones have differences that make it hard to work for all. I'll have an update tomorrow with the redesign.

You will hold down the search button to bring up a reboot menu. Does the evo have a search button?

Thanks,

Cody
[Android Apps and Games] redbeard46:
not exactly. on the evo there IS a button on the bottom of the phone of a magnifying glass, that is a search button. but when hit, pulls up the search screen, with search bar.when you click the icon to the left of the bar you get a list of what to search. Now, i just noticed that when LONG pushed, DOES give me the option of using your app. but no matter what i choose, causes a force close. I AM Rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] cody_04l:
By search button I'm referring to the hardware search button. On the EVO it would be the button below the screen on the very right of the phone (the button to the right of back). If you long press that you will be presented with an option to select reboot manager or the default long press action. Select Reboot Manager and click use this as the default. The next time you long press the hardware button you will get a list to choose from (Reboot, Fast Reboot, Recovery, Fastboot, and Power Off).

Of course you can always add a Reboot Manager widget or shortcut to the home screen. The widget has all of the options on it. You can select individual shortcuts or the selector shortcut which will bring up a list of reboot options when clicked.

Thanks,

Cody
[Android Apps and Games] redbeard46:
see my edited post above ;-(
[Android Apps and Games] cody_04l:
Do you also get the force close when using the widget?
[Android Apps and Games] redbeard46:
no. but i only get the options for reboot, recovery, shutdown, or config. none of the others.
[Android Apps and Games] cody_04l:
If you try the reboot option from the widget does your phone reboot?
[Android Apps and Games] redbeard46:
it does reboot. but no fast boot option. so, it DOES work this way. but it would be nice to have the fast boot option.
[Android Apps and Games] cody_04l:
I seem to have introduced a nice little bug in the latest update which is causing these issues.

I know what the issue is and will resolve it in my next release which should be tomorrow.

Thank you for your help and patience.

[Android Apps and Games] redbeard46:
