[HD7 General] auxientius:
Hi Guys,

I've been searching and searching and I cant find anyone with the same problem as me, on WP7 or HD7. Basically the times are completely wack on the text messages i receive. The could be a few hours behind, or usually entire days behind, and my personal favorite, from the future.

No idea what's going on. Everything seems fine in the settings - been over them 100 times. I've seen it as being a common issue with some older phones, but nothing on the latest ones.

Has anyone had this? Or even better, does anyone know how to fix it? The text messages that I send are stamped correctly, so it's just the ones i receive. It looks like the phone is using the time sent from the carrier, and then applying some wacky timezone to it based off my timezone (which is Auckland, New Zealand).

Help!
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
I sent Cyanogen a pm inquiring about full CM support for the Evo Shift.

I may be posting up a thread asking for commitments to donate for the purchase of an Evo Shift for the CM team.

Here are the contents of the message I sent.
[EVO Shift 4G General] theimpaler747:
Moved to General. Not quite Development ;)
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
Sorry about that Impaler. I thought about putting it in General to begin with.

Thanks for being on top of things.
[EVO Shift 4G General] akmzero:
Ill drop some money for a donation
[EVO Shift 4G General] oxeneers:
I'm in, with most of the people here, in sending Steve a donation to help purchase an EVO Shift.
[EVO Shift 4G General] StAlphonso:
only been running CM7 since last night and lovin it so far (minus a few quirks obviously)...full support would be...well it would just be swell i mean really keen....

lol basically im willing to donate for sure
[EVO Shift 4G General] everydaysince87:
im down with throwing a donation in im going to buy my shift in about 30 mins
[EVO Shift 4G General] creepdogg:
Im in for a donation as well, I wants some CM support :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] danaff37:
Getting my evo shift tomorrow, but I was wondering, I know he has a g2, which has a lot of similar hardware... all we would really need is a brilliant dev here to sign on with team douche... looks like bcnice and preludedrew already have some experience working on g2/desire z ports. But either way, yeah I'm willing to help. I'll be missing my CM mod
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jeezimus:
Count me in to donate for CM. My room mate has it on his G2 and its just gorgeous =O
[EVO Shift 4G General] Evo_Shift:
He stated on Twitter that support would be coming soon.

http://twitter.com/cyanogen

His reply was on Feb 16 @ 1:37am.

Sorry I don't use twitter so not sure if there is a better way to link the post.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Damn! That Chiratsu guy tweets too damn much! Took me forever to scroll thru 5 days of his tweets to verify that, YES! Cyanogen was referring to the Evo Shift 4G when he said, "Yes, soon :)". Good looking out, Evo_Shift!

[Legend General] rku615:
Found this in Phandroid.... http://phandroid.com/2011/02/17/coming-this-spring-android-2-3-for-the-htc-desire/

No announcement for Legend though.
[Legend General] getan:
w00t! Desire gets Gingerbread! Can't wait for it to come out!
[Legend General] jul644:
dont ...

don't hold your breath for the improvements it's not really worth it especially for htc

download the 2.3 keyboard and you got 1/3 of the update

as 2.3 is mainly NFC support(dosnt apply) new keyboard(i person like htc's better cuz of the content text prediction) and improved copy and past
[Legend General] nxdu:
Without a Legend S, I don't see much hope for a Ginger upgrade.
[Legend General] grandioso:
Not gonna happen.
[Legend General] Greedybro:
I don't understand HTC... First what does that mean to use the same name of their concurrents for their new phones ??? Desire "S" ? wildfire "S" ?

serioulsy, are they thinking that people will buy their phone cause they thing of the SGS or the NS ?

Second, a new desire, a new wildfire, and no new Legend ? WTF ? It's the best design they got among their phones, and they still do some crappy plastic phone (ok it's a bit strong, not crappy).

A new Legend, more slim, maybe a bit bigger screen, new proc but still in one piece of aluminium and here we go, they would have sell that more than they will sell the wildfire "S" !

Anyway, the gingerbread roms will be available soon for Legend. There is CM7 RC, and when the wildfire S come out, some SENSE ROM will for sure be released...

Thanks to the the great developers we have the chance to have in the community !! Thx you all.
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
i think that Legend update will be announced... for me it about 85% :-)

maybe after this spring
[Legend General] Mastacheata:
You remember how long it took HTC to announce an update to FroYo (It was about half a year after Google announced 2.2)

So if HTC will update the Legend to 2.3 it will probably be summer before they release it.
[Legend General] Meocene:
heard that a lot of devs don't think 2.3 is worth the R&D, so are waiting for 2.4.
[Legend General] TeCH-Guruz:
The desire out sold the legend 10 fold on release this forum is bearly alive compared to the desire's. The wildfire sold like hot cakes because of the price so unless they priced the legend at £250-£275 it would fail just like this 1 did.

Don't get me wrong I would like to see a legend s but look at it from a marketing point of view an you will see why it makes no sense at all.
[Legend General] jmkhenka:
I think that 2.3.2 is a big possibility for Legend, why you ask?

Well it is simple. Wildfire S is almost a clone of legend (600mhz, 3.2" and 480x320 screen) so the software will probably be easy to port over to Legend.

now the problem is operators. Do they rather want us to buy a new handset or upgrade.
[Legend General] Oriserzz:
yup... Agreed, the Legend forum is barely alive. There is only 2 almost perfected rom that is available. Unlike the desire forum, there's lots of goodies there =(
[Legend General] RegName:
IMHO, update the htc legend to 2.3 (2.4 too) will not be. :(

Sorry for my english, please.
[Legend General] TeCH-Guruz:
If we get 2.3 it will be down to the great devs here on xda not HTC. 2.3 was out before HTC released froyo for the legend so not much chance of them bothering.
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
Why make these claims? They could very well turn round and give us a special release of 2.3 with the new Sense for the special 'few' who got the Legend, ya just never know! :D

My view is simple: Wait and see, and not make claims about us not getting 2.3. How many of you would still use 2.3 and HTC Sense? Most of us here are running custom ROM's anyway which don't use Sense....

Just saying... :rolleyes:

Not for Voda Legends :p
[Legend General] segphault:
For those who're desperate to try out 2.3 and have rooted their Legends and are also capable of flashing a ROM, you can of course try out the CyanogenMod 7 nightlies. They're based on 2.3 unless I'm grossly misinformed.

When CM7 is finished, I may well give it a try, provided it's not a giant clusterbuck of a mess compared to blay0's ROMs...
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
I just want the new notification drop down down menu and the re arrangeable home screens from the new sense ..
[Legend General] Meocene:
I'm running CM7 full 3 (oh, full 4's out) with the radio upgrade from the dev forums, and it's pure awsome. gingerbread googness. battery life and speed are off the charts.

blayo's rom is very good, but i gotta say CM7's... gingerbread.

you'll loose flash lite, but the novelty wore off quickly for me.

lets be honest, it's pants.
[Legend General] zecralos:

Hi, I have a new HTC Legend and i have read your posts, so i know that i can´t upgrade to 2.3. But if i want install some small aplications i need do something like hack software like in a NOKIA devices??

I would like some help.

[Fascinate Android Development] StDevious:
So like everyone else, I have been having problems with the GPS on fascinate like other Galaxy S devices. However, on EB01 it works the best I have seen it work.

From a few other suggestions that I have gathered from these forums and my testing, here are the results of my testing. I compared the Fascinate against Motorola Droid that I have laying around running CM GB nightly 40.

Test settings

Wifi, 3G radios were OFF to measure pure GPS performance. GPS Test app was left running for 10 minutes with the phone screens on.

Fascinate - GPS turned on from settings menu, google location services on, VZW location services on

Droid OG - GPS turned on from settings menu, Use wifi networks ON.

Results after 10 mins

Fascinate - Satellites Used 7 or 8/10 - Accuracy 13.9 ft

Droid OG - Satellites Used 7/10 - Accuracy 39.4 ft​

GPS turned off from settings on both phones. Phones turned off for 10 minutes. Put away in closet away from window (might be too extreme, but had to make sure they were away from a clear view of the sky). Phones started again. GPS' enabled from settings menu.

Fascinate like earlier is able to get a quicker fix from the satellites.

Phones left running for 10 mins. Similar results observed as above.

So the GPS chip in the Fascinate is more accurate when it works.

To get the GPS working, I have noticed that it needs to be turned on from the settings menu. Turning it on from notification bar doesn't work
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
I guess thats cool. Good thing I have wifi 24/7 when I get lost?
[Fascinate Android Development] D_Steve595:
How is this a how-to?
[Fascinate Android Development] jvincent08:
I see the "GPS is good when it works" part, but not the "how to get it working" part. Unless the "how to" is "turn it on in the settings".
[Fascinate Android Development] StDevious:
yes that's it
[Fascinate Android Development] jvincent08:
Really?

This thread is pathetic. If you want to express that you're getting good GPS results, post in General. This is not a how-to.
[Fascinate Android Development] StDevious:
one would think, more people would step in development section looking for a mod for fixing GPS issues
[Fascinate Android Development] Kevin Gossett:
But this isn't a mod. There is no "how to".
[Fascinate Android Development] StDevious:
I see other How to's in here, but a mod can move it to general, if people want it there.
[Fascinate Android Development] micoyote1:
Thanks man.....I figured it out from your first post....turning it on in settings works for me vs notification menu. I just learned "HOW TO" get the gps working on my SF consistantly.....seems like the right place to post this.....I guess some folks on here have nothing better to do but police the posts on the forum and fling there sarcasim...must be bored...Hey...every little bit of info helps.....:)
[Fascinate Android Development] abowlofsoda:
Before EB01 it wasn't necessary to go into the Settings to turn on VZW location services to get a GPS lock- you only needed to enable it in the windowshade.

I've already seen many who needed this info. Its a justified post it just lacks info in the 'How-To' part.
[Fascinate Android Development] jvincent08:
I get a lock just fine turning it on just from the pull-down menu. Running Super Clean 2.4.
[Fascinate Android Development] adambobbyburgers:
I still get horrible accuracy. "Accurate to 2100 meters" *sigh*
[Fascinate Android Development] phooky:
For some reason I can't get a lock with wifi off.. But with wifi + gps enabled, I get an accurate lock within seconds.
[Fascinate Android Development] Pfredd:
Well I, for one, appreciate the tip. I was always using the notification bar to turn GPS off & on.

THanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] FunYun:
When I use the drop bar to activate and then start gmaps, it takes forever, or maybe never connects. Though if I use the drop bar and then an app called GPS Essentials and look at the satellites tab, it locks in a few seconds. Its seems to be dependent on the apps that are looking for a gps position. I know on my old Omnia, gps settings were in gmaps, maybe gmaps has bad settings for our phone?
[Fascinate Android Development] jackmei2:
this makes sense that it would be this way, when you turn on the gps in the settings menu, you have to agree to it's terms. not so much when you turn it on via the status bar.
[Fascinate Android Development] notoriousB:
agreed. this appears to be an EB01 bug. Once turned on in the settings turning it on/off will work from the notification bar for a while, until you reboot with the GPS off, then it doesn't work any more until you go to settings. I have the same problem w/ EB01, but not with DL09.
[Fascinate Android Development] The_Tech_Ninja:
I finally get a lock, but it's lost within a few mins of using it.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Two quick notes:

1) If you are running SuperClean, the VZW location services setting does absolutely nothing. It is only used by Verizon apps (i.e. VZ Navigator) and Google Maps is not able to use the information obtained by VZW AGPS, so the entire service has been removed from the ROM.

2) The dropdown gps button is virtually worthless right now unless you leave google location services enabled all the time. There are multiple ways to turn on the GPS through the OS code, and the current implementation causes GPS lock to take nearly a minute longer (or never, if there is no AGPS data) than if you were to go into the Settings menu and turn it on. At some point, someone will probably mod the drop down to emulate the same method as the settings menu.

That being said, from inside my house, with all my AGPS data cleared, on a freshly cleaned and flashed phone, I can get a fix in less than 3 seconds, accurate to 20 meters without having location services turned on, using only standalone GPS data. With AGPS data, accuracy to 6 meters in 5-10 seconds. The trick is to turn it on from the Settings menu, not the dropdown.
[Fascinate Android Development] superchunkwii:
No matter how I turn it on I get nothing. Been that way since I started flashing SC roms.

Figured it was due to the fact that all of these (since 1.0) have been based on incomplete or Beta builds from Sammy/Verizon. As it worked with the last OTA I received before I started root/flashing.

Not an issue for me as I don't use GPS for anything and if I am traveling I have my wife with her stock phone.

Maybe there is another tip I can have that shows what I also need to do to make it work beyond turning it on from settings.

btw, I have no other issues from the phone. Even battery life is great.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
See if it works on stock EB01. If not, then your GPS is dead.

Whelp, worked for me. Cool test, thanks for the way around. I'm gonna need it driving on Spring Break here in about 4 days.
[Fascinate Android Development] Syn Ack:
Same here man. Ever since SC for EB01+ has been running my GPS efficiency has been degrading. It took like 10 minutes the other day to get a lock, and the lock wasn't very accurate. Granted, it was workable (50m), but in DL09 I had accurate to 1m while in my bathroom in my house, in the middle of nowhere.
[Fascinate Android Development] kamileon:
Im running SC 2.8 with EB01 and always enable/diable my gps through the drop down with no issues. In fact I used it yesterday to do some geocaching with my son and it locked in a matter of seconds with 10/12 satellites and 1-2 ft accuracy.

Hello, I am in need of some help. My htc hd2 got stuck on the MAGDLR loader and everytime I try to load android it goes through all steps, tells me it completes, Phone restarts, and then goes back to the MAGDLR loader. If somebody could get me out that would be great
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
It would help someone help you if you gave more info on the problem... like what exactly are you trying to load? Android from SD or nand? What build? What steps does it go through and complete?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xirokx:
first take the SD card out and back up your data i.e. sounds, photos, etc

1. go into bootloader (the screen with the red background, you can do this by holding the power on button down and the volume down button both together at the same time)

2. install task29 you can do this from the bootloader screen

3. reinstall magldr

4. reinstall a nand ROM

How to finish with that stcuking thing !

Hi,

I hope the following may help you :

The most important thing to notice is to flash a Radio ROM that supports 576RAM (don't ask me... :-D ).

The Good news are that the HTC Leo Radio 2.15.50.14 will.

So you can flash that radio right after running HSPL3.

MAGDL1.13 should work for as it did for me.

Good luck.

;)

After updating to the most recent Gmail app version(2.3.2), i seem to have lost the auto complete function while typing email addresses that are not stored on my phone.

I run two email accounts on the phone, the primary account which syncs contacts, works fine since the contacts are synced on the phone, but the secondary account, which used to do an online lookup(no contacts sync), does not auto complete anymore.

Anyone else have this problem with this version of Gmail?

[HTC Inspire 4G] Askal007:
Hi folks,

I'm new to these forums and also a new smartphone user! Wanted to find out some info on which settings I should turn off to improve battery performance. Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
A new phone probably doesn't need battery conditioning but you can start by disabling widgets that you don't need, a lot of them pull data which sucks battery. You can also disable auto brightness and then lower the brightness of the display.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sucram6791:
juice defender is a good battery saver app
[HTC Inspire 4G] winsettr:
I'd day the number one thing you can do is lower the screen brightness (as stated above). Constantly (automatically) adjusting the brightness is a substantial drain. I have mine set to 30, and the only time it is too dark is outside when sunny, and you can use a toggle widget to turn up the brightness when you are outside. So far I'm getting a full day of use, which is all I could ask for.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Askal007:
I turned off all of the att bloatware that was running on the background, as well as adjust the settings on the gps satellites and that seemed to improve the battery performance too. I did adjust the screen brightness down to 25% which is just enough for me to still enjoy the display.

[HTC Inspire 4G] hammondnav:
Here are some things you can try:

Turn off Auto Sync.

Turn off GPS unless you actually use it.

Turn off WiFi if you aren't using it.

If you're willing to pay for apps, get SetCPU and make some profiles for things like screen off, etc.

Don't install any task killers. FroYo's own task management is better for both performance and battery life.
[HTC Inspire 4G] d00mz:

Smartphone Batterlife

Any modern smartphone should last a full day of moderate use without having to manually manage any of the radios or default syncing. I found my Inspire had pretty decent battery life after I installed Launcher Pro and set it as the default launcher. I am convinced that Sense UI launcher and widgets are the killer of batteries on these phones.

Hello, new member here using all your combined expertice to help me make my decision up on my next phone. Could anyone please post sum results of speedtest.net for the LG optimus 2X. I have looked around for any vids or other posting but failed to find any.

Im in the usa an cant yet get my hands on a Optimus 2x Thanks much!
[LG Optimus 2x] svengalis:
Really wouldn't be an accurate comparison. Supposedly the Optimus is coming to the USA with 4G(crosses fingers) support. Tmobiles 4G netowork is much faster then ATTs.

ATTs 4G network is not even up and running yet and won't be until sometime next month according to them. So that's why you saw those horrible speeds posted by engadget.
