Tried it

Adrian - I gave it a shot. No luck. I gave up on it for now.

I switched to Assonance 2.0. I got a lock a lot quicker. My commute home and to work tracked better. Only drove off the road a few times. Recalibrated a few times. The blue circl eshowed up some. It was better.

My true test will be Geocaching. I will see how well I get through the woods. Normally it is ideal to get within 40 feet of the cache, if it does that I will be content.
[Captivate General] RGardner:
Which is something you wouldn't have to do - if there were a real "fix."
[Captivate General] fldude99:
^^^no big deal tho really...all devices have their quirks. That is a minor exercise

This fix has been there for a long time. Not sure about the tweet.

The app does work, but only outdoors, with open sky. After the app finished restoring, I got gps position like, real quick.

But honestly this doesn't seem to be a permanent fix. In fact in my experience there is no software fix available.

Regarding gps.conf patches floating around,i dont believe that they are of much help because the original gingerbread conf file works like a charm on my samsung tablet.

Take my experience for what it is worth.....
[Captivate General] jhavron:
I have been trying to fix my i897 GPS for along time. I can't get any fix. Could you post the gingerbread config file?
[Captivate General] Val D.:
Captivate's weak GPS is a hardware issue. No software fix for hardware issues.
[Captivate General] kidos_tears:
Yep. Works for me. Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matejdro:
Sorry if that thread was already here, but i have two questions on android on HD2:

1. How well Flash performs?

2. How well Fennec performs?

I'm planning to buy HD2 so i'm wondering about these two things.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jelliottz:
Flash works just as it should. It performs quite well.

I haven't used fennec so I am unable to assist you on that one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1keynose:
flash was the main reason i have changed to android. i was using skyfire to watch flash in winmo(not very good flash) but it is no longer supported. i am now able to watch the football while i am at work. its very smooth. ive not used fennec so no comment
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matejdro:
Okay, if flash is working with decent performance then that should mean that these builds are super fast. Thanks.

P.S: just saw i put that into wrong section. Can someone moves it into Q/A section?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
I watch football games on the android browser all the time using flash and never have issues, good times.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] brooon:
Hey folks! :)

...I beg your pardon for possibly asking *goddamn* noobish questions here...but till now I really can´t get the point...

What will be the advantages of having NAND on our loved HD2? I´m really happy about the simplicism of impinging on the system so easily (e.g. changing the Kernel etc.). As soon as I intend to change something, I´m just copying the content of my SD-Card to the Desktop of my PC (backup)...after that I can mess around with android as long as I have fun with it...when something goes wrong, there´s always the possibility to make a rollback copying the backup on the SD again.

Will NAND reduce the battery drain to a minimum (i´ve read somewhere that this is false hope)? Will NAND make Android running faster than it already does? Will NAND quit with short screen freezes? Or what is the point here?

I´m sure the Devs do have a really good reason applying so much effort on the realization of NAND. I would be very grateful to understand how this reason looks like! :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
This question has been asked and debated a million times.

Short answer is that nobody knows, as nothing has been released. Ask a million of us this question and you will get a million answers. We just have to wait and see.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] brooon:
Thank you for your answer!! Well, of course I´m deeply sorry then for posting this question! However I couldn´t find any answer on this when using Mr. search?! :confused: Perhaps this has been dicussed only within other topics? Hm,...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
I think the only noticeable difference will be in boot up time... since you wont have to boot into winnow first, it will be much quicker to boot into android. Other than that it may improve battery life a little, but I doubt it will improve that much. You're still running android on ram whether it's stored on nand or sd card. It may make other small improvements, and may introduce a whole bunch of new problems. We'll have to wait and see. Personally, I like having the option to run winmo and android in the same phone, and don't think the small improvements nand will make will be worth losing winmo. Also, I think once magldr is released, there may be some of the same improovements when running it from SD card, as magldr will take out the need to boot into winmo first to get to android, but still allow you to keep winmo and run android from SD.

I am definitely looking forward to magldr, but don't care about running android from nand. As far as improvements made, we'll have to wait and see to know for sure.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hookguy:
Lets not forget that once magldr is released we are a step closer to WP7 on HD2!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FriedSushi87:
Also, installing applications on the HD2 takes forever and freezes up the phone because its writing to the SD card, where the ROM is too....
[Focus General] ghaith_d:
Hey guys, I've looked around but nobody seems to have the answer to this question:

I just got my focus unlocked, awesome!, and I'm trying to input the new DATA settings from Telus to be able to use 3G+, but the only settings available are the APN settings. There is no settings for Proxy Server or Port. Will this affect my ability to use 3G+?

The second issue is MMS. There is a topic discussing it, but the instructions provided were not accurate and do not work.

Hope you guys can help me tackled this!

Cheers
[Focus General] tsuabing:
There is currently no way to enter configuration information other than the APN.

There are currently only 4 possible solutions to this:

1) Samsung provides support through their Network Profile app (available in the Samsung section of the marketplace on your phone). The problem is this app refuses to run on AT&T phones. So it's currently useless.

2) Microsoft exposes these settings to the user in their next update (supposedly in January sometime - but no details on if this problem will be addressed).

3) Microsoft exposes developer API's to allow changes to these settings (currently no such API's exist).

4) Jailbreak the phone and change the XML file that is used by the operating system to configure these settings.

In the mean time - for Focus users - there is no way to change these settings today.
[Focus General] ghaith_d:
Thanks for the reply, I'm guessing that without the proxy server and the port, I will not be able to get 3G+, which is why I'm stuck with 3G right now?
[Focus General] JMackey:
It its Telus, that means its a Rogers phone, not AT&T. So the samsung network profile app may work?
[Focus General] ghaith_d:
Thanks for the reply JM, no it's an AT&T phone. I bought it from the USA.
[Focus General] reaver_shadow:
Hey,

Sorry i didn't really read the OP correctly My original post isn't really relevant to your case. So your phone never shows 3G+ or H when you touch near the top when browsing?

Have you tried a speed test? ( www.mobilespeedtest.com ) If your getting over 2 mbps after several test then i think your HSPA.

i pretty sure samsung focus doesn't support HSPA+
[Focus General] TomH123:
GPRS/EDGE is "2G" not "3G".
[Focus General] tsuabing:
I just received an update in the marketplace for the Network Diagnosis app but it still doesn't run on AT&T phones.
[Focus General] ghaith_d:
Hey Reaver, thanks for the link, I didn't see your thread before, I'll keep checking it. As for your hypothesis, I never see a 3G+ or H icon at the top even when it is loading something, what IS REALLY interesting is the following test I made:

I started downloading a 2mb picture, or loaded a website, and as soon as I started that, I went to http://i.dslr.net/iphone_speedtest.html and did a 3G speed test. These are my results:

When device is downloading 2mb picture, download speed was calculated:

- 758 kbps

- 1320 kbps

After downloading picture, download speed was:

- 176 kbps

- 148 kbps

Loading www.gamespot.com, download speed was:

- 924 kbps

- 612 kbps

- 947 kbps

After www.gamespot.com was loaded, download speed was:

- 226 kbps

- 289 kbps

- 88 kbps

- 284 kbps

Now as far as I know, these are high end 3G speeds, not 3G+. Anyone care to elaborate?
[Focus General] reaver_shadow:
From what i've read and heard EDGE is considered 3G "for the most part".

You are right though GPRS is 2G, i'll correct that on my post
[Focus General] reaver_shadow:
I read a thread about something similar to this.

Question: are you using a old SIM card or fairly new one?

It's telus so i suspect it's fairly new
[Focus General] ghaith_d:
I'm using a new HSPA Sim card, got it last week. It's interesting that you see a 3G+ icon and I don't...hmmm

From http://mobilespeedtest.com without concurrent download:

- 307 kbps

- 462 kbps

- 500 kbps

- 512 kbps

From mobile speed test with concurrent download:

- 186 kbps

- 330 kbps

- 280 kbps

Now this is confusing lol
[Focus General] reaver_shadow:
try 3 rounds of www.mobilespeedtest.com, and post back.

I only see 3G+ when using data, such as browsing or downloading from marketplace. otherwise it's 3G.

Icon or not, ultimatly what it comes down to is the speed of HSPA. The ceiling for bell seems to be around 2.5 Mbps.

Try mobilespeedtest at other location, and not much a few meters away. could just be your location.

Example( avg):

bed room avg 600 Kbps

living room near window 1.3 Mbps

Campus 2Mbps (but i know the towers are just outside:D)
[Focus General] reaver_shadow:
try using 1MB (you can do it after the first test, under graph) this will give a more realistic picture of the speeds you can actual get at that location
[Focus General] ghaith_d:
From http://mobilespeedtest.com 1mb test without concurrent download:

- 1777 kbps

2mb test without concurrent download:

- 2053 kbps

3mb test without concurrent download:

- 1462 kbps

5mb test without concurrent download:

- 1668 kbps

2mb test with 2mb picture download:

- 635 kbps

1mb test with 2mb picture download:

- 1990
[Focus General] TomH123:
Probably getting a bit nitpicky but EDGE isn't considered 3G by GSMA which is the authority over such things. EDGE and 3G are two distinct technologies. I don't see a definition for 2G but I've always seen that applied to both GPRS and EDGE.

http://www.gsm.org/technology/index.htm
[Focus General] dead_on_the_floor:
HSPA+ Speeds working on SaskTel.

I have an unlocked Rogers Focus on the SaskTel network. We just rolled out our 3G+ network here.

I had to go into the diagnostics menu and change some settings around RRC Control.

After making the settings change, I was able to download > 6Mbit on HSPA+

Here's what I did:

##634# (diagnostics)

*#32489# - (GSM test) Shows the ciphering status and options to enable or disable it.

Pressed [Back] at the bottom.

[5] RRC(HSPA) Control

[2] Change RRC Revision

[3] Release 6(HSDPA/HSUPA)

[End]

Now I'm fast, wicked fast.

Can't claim it will work for you, but one setting can make all the difference.

I'm new to debug menus so I didn't know how to get direct into the RRC options.

If there's an easier code to get direct to this screen, please let me know.
[Focus General] powersquad:
where is the End button on the dialler in the last step?

also when I press 5 nothing happens. do we have to press 523 on the same screen and then which button to press to enable HSPA+?

edit - got it. I pressed the back button next to my windows key on the phone instead of the small 'back button' on the screen itself. did everything but still only 3G icon. my network has definitely upgraded to HSPA+

btw do you remember what are the default settings anyway for the focus if I want to revert back to original settings for RRC?
[Focus General] dead_on_the_floor:
RRC

default is:

[2] Release 5 (HSDPA Only)
[Focus General] FL5:
This is only mildly related to the topic, but do you know the settings in that menu that would tell the phone not to use the GSM bands, and only use WCDMA? I see a lot of stuff that looks applicable in there, and am willing to poke around and risk hard resets, but if you already know it off the top of your head, that'd be fantastic. I figure the easiest thing might be to feed it a radio frequency that the physical radio hardware doesn't support, but I'd guess that'd have very possible risk of causing the device to lock up entirely.

Thanks!
[Focus General] reaver_shadow:
Without changing anything it my phone was already set to release 6.

I think i made an oops.....

What the default under "[3]SIM CLASS CONTROL" in the "NAS CONTROL" menu (in same menu as "RRC(HSPA) CONTROL")?

it'll indicate at the top once you press 3.
[Focus General] FL5:
Mine says "UIM CLASS: GSM"

Wonder what this does. Maybe changing it to UMTS might make it use UMTS more... or maybe it would just gunk stuff up...
[Focus General] dead_on_the_floor:
Changing UIM class from GSM to something your SIM doesn't support will cause "No Service"

I've done that before.
[Focus General] Tempest790:
Thank you so much for that info! I'll have to wait tomorrow to really test it, but that was about my only complaint with the tethering was the HSUPA being disabled.

By the way, do you need to reboot the phone? It didn't prompt me.
[Focus General] ghaith_d:
Thank you very much dead_on_the_floor!

I checked the status of mine (AT&T unlocked) and it was just like yours (HSDPA only). Hopefully I get the same results as you!

Cheers
[Focus General] dead_on_the_floor:
Not Sure.

Most settings I've messed with required a reboot, can't remember for certain.

A reboot rarely reverts a setting. LoL
[Focus General] reaver_shadow:
Ok well as far as i understand (someone correct me please if i'm wrong) bell only has UTMS. (i.e. HSPA)

I think i accidentally changed my to UTMS and now the phone seems to go to "3G+" for everything including when i receive a call.

Can someone else with a rogers focus on another network confirm that the default is "UIM CLASS: GSM" then change to UTMS and see if theres a difference.

Also try a to receive a phone call before and after you you change.

I wonder if this is the fix if it will eat more battery and how much?
[Focus General] reaver_shadow:
???? are you saying a full reset (i.e. *2767*3855# ) doesn't restore defaults????
[Focus General] kawgirlval69:
reboot = turn it off and back on... format or reformat =*2767*3855# or the vol pwr camera... that resets back to out of box specs...
[Focus General] Tempest790:
FYI:

Although it doesn't prompt you to reboot, I found that it worked better (faster) after I did. My speeds before the reboot were stuck at UMTS. After the reboot, I had full HSUPA and my latency was cut in half.

Yay!
[Focus General] dead_on_the_floor:
I have actually set UIM Class: UMTS

My phone still says 3G when using phone, and only switches to 3G+ when data is being used (ie: updating people, browsing, etc).
[Focus General] ghaith_d:
Surprisingly, my settings had neither chosen. Funny thing is that When I chose [1] UMTS, it switches me to GSM, and when I choose [2] GSM, it switches me to UMTS :/

I'll report on 3G+, but after switching to HSDPA/HSUPA, I still don't see 3G+. Maybe this will change it.
[Focus General] ghaith_d:
So I tried switching back and forth between UMTS and GSM with a reboot in between. Telus doesn't work with GSM at all, and with UMTS I'm stuck with 3G, no 3G+, even with unlocking HSDPA/HSUPA

:(
[Focus General] chiensibut:
btw how do i make MMS work for t mobile??? tried to put epic.tmobile.com nad internet2.voicestream.com in apn but seen not working
[Focus General] Tempest790:
It seems AT&T has upgraded their network again. The Focus specs said it only supported 7.2 Mbps HSPA but now my download speeds are showing over 5 Mbps. On my Tilt 2 (also 7.2) I consistently averaged about 2-3 Mbps max. Does the Focus support 14.4 HSPA or is this just 7.2 near the theoretical max?

Either way, I'm happy with it!

I wish there was a definitive way to tell what version of HSPA we're using.
[Focus General] ghaith_d:
The Network Profile up just got updated and you can manually change it now!!!

Going to test and hopefully I'll get 3G+ speeds!
[Focus General] ghaith_d:
Ugh, still garbage. The app let's me choose between AT&T, and AT&T :/ no manual configuration.
[Focus General] reaver_shadow:
Update's a bust for me. Still no MMS and data delay

only shows "ROGERS" in the list.

no manual configuration available.

(1) restarted, no change.

(2) turned off, removed SIM, rebooted with no SIM, turned off, replaced SIM, no change.

Current Settings:

Automatic network profile changing: On

"Active Profile" is blank now
[Focus General] ghaith_d:
Exact same thing for me, except it's AT&T instead of Rogers because that's where I got mine.
[Focus General] malik2k1:
Hey Guys!

Having the same issue with the Network Profile App. I'm on Fido with an unlocked Rogers Focus and the only profile available to me is Rogers. I haven't had any data delay issues and what not that you outlined above.

Hopefully a fix for the profile app is uploaded soon!
[Focus General] wm.andrew.wilson:
Bumping for same issue. Unlocked AT&T Focus on Bell, app wont give me any option that isn't AT&T.
[Focus General] ricky119:
I believe only works for international phone, although we unlocked our Focus, but it is still NOT a international phone, my friend's Omnia7 works
[Focus General] guzerone:
It works on AT&T!

My Focus is not unlocked, I had it chevronwp7'ed but Microsoft locked it again.

I set the RRC to 6 and still only got ~480Kbps but after a reboot (power cycle) I'm now getting ~2540 kbps using the mobilespeedtest.com 1MB test, the display still shows 3G though..
[Focus General] guzerone:
It gets better, after I got tethering to work over HPSA (needed the extra init string), I'm getting 5.67Mbps using speedtest.net (looks like the modem compression works well for this test) and

3.6Mbps using dslreports.com.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rumitg2:
is there a way to get our phones to understand a longpress on a hardware key means to type its alternate function?'

I mean that if you press and hold q for a few second you could type 1?

i find it annoying to press alt each time because i love the keyboard and use it for most everything.

most alternate keyboards have this feature and i was wondering if it could be ported for us hardware kb users
[G2 and Desire Z General] the orange bandit:
I'd also like to see this. Perhaps this thread should be moved to the development or themes/apps threads, though, as this is more of a mod?
[Vibrant General] zoid_99:
Haven't seen this posted. Samsung released an App to restore the default GPS settings.

[Vibrant General] shehrammajid:
im sorry...but I just saw two threads before this one about this same app....it doesnt work...all it does is restore you gps settings to stock :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
ATTN #Vibrant users: We've created an app to help optimize GPS. Go to the Android Market & search for GPSSamsungRestore: http://ow.ly/3hEpr

Straight from their twitter about 10 minutes ago.

Update: Before anyone gets excited the app ONLY resets GPS to the original settings. Not a real fix as most of our GPS' were not working properly out of the box.
[Vibrant General] fearmonkey:
Don't get your hopes up.
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Epic failure! As I expected it would. Tested this app and it tried to lock on 3 times before it gave me a message saying that I needed to contact a service center.
[Vibrant General] Krzysiek_CK:
I have tested this application few times. I can officially say that it dies, while soft rebooting the phone, more times than to actually work. This application is as good as GPS itself.
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
Yes, I have positive results with it also. Used it and I got a lock instantly. Opened up navigation and it was spot on, no arrow jumping all over the place. It may say that it just reverts it back to stock settings, but whatever the case may be, it works.
[Vibrant General] J__:
edit: nm found it
[Vibrant General] Jibreil:
Samsung gets pwned by XDA ... once again!

Two of the epic failuers of this phone is the lack of flash and improper GPS.
[Vibrant General] keoni4u:
I downloaded the app as soon as i seen the tweet. It looked good initially, i got lock instantly, multiple times after running the app, but when I tested it out on a drive my phone would lose GPS signal after less then 5 mins, then it take another 7-10 mins to get another GPS lock, this kept happening the whole time....
[Vibrant General] darkside79:
Didnt make a difference. Still takes 2 or 3 mins to find my gps location. Nice try samsung. I mean WTF is the REAL problem with the GPS? I know! a hardware issue! EPIC FAIL!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
Hi everyone :)

So I took on the task of making some SMS and Email Widget Skins, and this is what I finished up until now.

NOW AVAILABLE: SIMPLE WHITE EMAIL + SMS WIDGET

Got it done faster!! Cabs are uploaded^^

The intensity of the white in the Email Widget gets as high as the white in the SMS Widget, when having multiple mails^^

to make it look good, you should change the colour of your text by going into CHTE, then tab Widgets, SMS or Mail, and change colour to white (255,255,255).

I really hope you enjoy these and that you stay tuned for more updates in the next time :)

Thanks to the great work of poyensa the problem with the black text font on the Email Tab is solved. I reuploaded the new Cab file^^ Credits to Poyensa :)

​

If these Widget Skins already exist, I am sorry I didnt mean to steal your idea, but I can assure you, that these Skins come out of my mind, because I wanted my widget to look like that. Plz PM me on that concern.
​
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 727_de:
I have installed both wigdets, but the SMS part is still white. Why?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rogerG27:
same here, any hint?

the email widget is looking great though!

:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
What SMS part? The whole widget or just the bottom line? would be very nice, if you could make a screenshot^^

But for now, just try to reinstall and soft reset once more, if that doesnt fix the problem, plz try to make a screenshot.

Normally it should work just fine^^
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Colossus92:
Thats what its look like

I notified that my device do not wanted to do a soft reset after the installation.

With the Email skin, there was a soft reset request and it works fine.

(Wenn es unverständlich ist, erklär ich es besser auf deutsch :D )
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
Mhhm might know what the problem is^^ just one question. Is the white sms skin the one you had before ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Colossus92:
No no, that is right after the installation of your cab.

After all, the 3 icons at the bottom have changed :D
