[HTC Inspire 4G] RiNo808:
Thanks for the quick replies. so i did exchange my inspire for a new one. and same thing, i cant seem to get an accuracy under 10 meters. I also tried gps test, and with the inspire i only can get 5-7 sats locked, while my N1 gets 8-11 and the Atrix gets a 9-11...I also exchanged it for another so im on my third Inspire and the GPS sucks...will rooting and going to revolution or corddriod help with the GPS signal??? thanks in advanced...
[HTC Inspire 4G] samven582:
no problem with GPS here. Locks on less then 30 secs :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
My GPS is perfect.

Is the SIM card door on snugly? There are antenna contacts in the SIM card door that can cause degraded signal if they aren't on properly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] phohammer:
Oh great. I just got AT&T to exchange my Captivate for an Inspire due to the Cappy's GPS issues. I hope this isn't a common thing with Inspires.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
It isn't. This is the only complaint thread about the GPS that I've seen.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
This is very bizzare that you're on the third Inspire and issues persist. There are many variables that can play into GPS performance. What are the weather conditions like where you live. Low lying dense clouds and storm activities can affect GPS perfomarnce, so is being surrounded by tall structures. The elevation of the ground compared to sea level is also a variable.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RiNo808:
Well yesterday it was overcasted, and i do live in Hawaii. But its just weird that my N1 and the Atrix had better signal and more stable the inspire. All three were tested at the same time and in the same place...

since the code dropped for the inspire today, hope a rom will fix this...i know its just me but i will take an HTC over moto or sammy any day...
[HTC Inspire 4G] alex4lex:
Ach, no way. This thing's gps is great. I was driving around yesterday and got locked at 45mph in about 10 seconds. I didn't even have a window mount or anything, it was in my passenger's hand below the dashboard. Wifi off, straight gps. :D Coming off the captivate it's nice to know your gps just works :cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] jamespaulritter:
So in general there is no GPS lag with the inspire? I'm sick of my location showing me 2 blocks away while I'm trying to find and address. I have to pull over for 30 seconds while hunting down building numbers so my captivate can catch up :|
[HTC Inspire 4G] tongas:
I have no issues either with GPS and is overcast right now down here :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] n0kia916:
Traded back my atrix for inspire and all is good with gps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] redstar299:
Mine locks in seconds..probably a dud phone I would just get another one
[HTC Inspire 4G] earth4s:
I'm having issues with my GPS the past two days. Clear sky and i only get 2 satellites with only 1 lock. I still experimenting to see if theirs a difference between Roms.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rapidstar:
GPS worked fine yesterday during my short use. But today I used it during m ~40 mile drive on a clear sky day it, lost the signal twice.. but it recovered in 30-40 secs. Certianly either GPS radio is bad or a software bug.
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
Bumping this thread, as it's quite relevant to me now... I didn't realize there were other people trading in Inspire's for GPS' going bad....

I'm wondering if anyone in this thread reporting problems has found any sort of solution, or found out more about why this is happening subsequently to some users.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tongas:
I'm coming from a Droid (milestone which is the same thing) and GPS couldn't be better. Is catching the signal right away even inside the house. Loving it, no issues so far. Use it everyday.
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
This is exactly both of my inspires worked... For a couple weeks.

I think that review is more useful, shows shortcuts and many more features
[Xoom General] blozout:
Good find, great review. Reviewer is a boner however.
[Xoom General] parrotheadmjb:
Yea but he actually shows the device and its features :/
[Xoom General] blozout:
Yup, which is why its a great review. Shows what it does rather than ***** about no flash or OS bugs.
[Xoom General] PoisonWolf:
Always remember that Topolsky can't review for **** (although he has improved a teeny bit over the years). He's probably the most biased reviewer of the whole lot there. :)
[Xoom General] muyoso:
I certainly believe that he holds biases, but the more I hear about the Xoom the more I feel the score he gave it was accurate. I feel that he inflates the scores of Apple devices, but gives Android devices a fair score generally.
[Xoom General] gogol:
I am a bit worried with the wonky buttons.

And I might agree with the Honeycomb user interface comments (not good).

Hope Google address this.
[Epic 4G General] Jacoby6000:
Now that we have source, can we make the radio not drain battery by pushing to find sprint service? I live in a valley, and there's no reception within about 2-3 miles with sprint. At best I'll get 5 bars for about 2 seconds, then it drops to one, then zero. My battery would probably last 50% longer with such a mod. i'm aware of roam control, but my parents aren't going to give me any money to burn on the market for it.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
I ain't touching the radio on EB13.. It's perfect. They finally got it right. Not broken, don't fix.

Time On: 7hr 6m 57s

TWS: 14% and that's only because I was in a hospital today for 3hrs which killed my signal entirely.
[Epic 4G General] lycwolf:
I have a weird issue were I will go roaming for a second or two and then back to 3G when the phone is in my house, but I get great 4G coverage. Is this something that will drain the battery more? I haven't had a chance to really test it with the EB13 update yet. Though the battery life seems better.
[Epic 4G General] slybarman:
Call Sprint and get a free Airrave.
[Epic 4G General] Jacoby6000:
I get about 30% on radio standby, with moderate-heavy use on my phone.

The problem isn't signal at my house. We have an airrave. It's my school that's the issue.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Roam control is very cheap if I remember right....
[Epic 4G General] Jacoby6000:
My parents just aren't willing to waste money on something that isn't absolutely necessary.

"Then why have a 200$ phone?"

I paid for it myself. And i don't have a job. It was out of savings.
[Epic 4G General] Art2Fly:
XD I payed all $520 for mine.... but how will I go about getting this "airrave"? What do I ask sprint?
[Epic 4G General] Jacoby6000:

[Epic 4G General] Art2Fly:
I know what it is, but what exactly do I tell sprint so I can get a free one?
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
modem.bin is fixed and perfect in eb13...
[Epic 4G General] Jacoby6000:
But from what i've seen, when roaming, it uses extra power trying to get sprint service when sprint has Zero bars.
[Epic 4G General] scubafun:
when I got my 3 airwave months ago, they just explained they were on backorder for 6-8 weeks and so they waived the $100 cost and $5 monthly fee for my inconvenience. Only catch is that it is leased equipment now, so I have to return it if I drop Sprint, so you may want to inquire if you can lease the Airave to try it out for a while.

I've also heard reports that if you speak to the support group first a few times about signal issues/drop calls, they can log it in your account and when you speak to Sales and inquire about it, they will offer it for no charge, especially if you're one of their premier customers.
[Epic 4G General] lazyart:
I called Sprint last night and planted the seed about poor coverage at home. I get one bar at best when sitting at my desk and often have dropped calls or Voice Mail notifications when the phone never rang.

I called back tonight and they offered up the Airave at no cost.

He says plug it into your wireless router and you'll get 5 bars. It will also help your internet signal on the phone. I told him I'm sure it would, but since I already have wireless.... :D

Verizon hasnt yet so i doubt it

even so, just use ADB to sideload if it comes to it
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two_cents:
from what I know its an ATT thing not an htc thing... they wouldn't allow nonmarket apps on the aria either... if I pick up the phone and go into development and it doesn't allow me to install non market apps I'll give it right back to them... not to steal anything but becuase sometimes newer isn't always better... sometimes older versions work better for me

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaymondErasmus:
If your phone wasn't branded or network locked just go over to shippedroms and download the newest WWE ruu and run that.

If your phone was branded originally look for a Vodafone official ruu and run that.

By running an ruu your phone will lose s-off and root and be back to stock again :)

That is an option you cannot set in the system. Than Android system automatically manages memory and tasks. Android should not be killing SetCPU. That said, it may help if you enable profiles in SetCPU and *tick* the "Notifications" box.

VPad10??

hmm... i'm surprised that there's actually a variant of 64GB SSD for this model because i could've sworn it only came w/ a 32GB SSD max built in for the VPad10... where'd you get your VPad10? also if memory serves... doesn't this tablet run on an intel pine trail processor and chipset (hence the win7 dual boot)? and where'd you get the froyo update? if i recall, current non ARM based processors only support up to android 1.6 (unless there's a ROM out there built from the ground up that runs on intel's hardware)

i don't think this was one of those frankenstein DIY upgrades since the VPad10 already comes w/ the specs mentioned

and while everything does sound great on paper, how's the battery life on it?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airborne Aircrew:
This SSD is 64Gb for £105/$178 which seems like a good deal. I cloned the old drive to a 16gb thumb drive using Ubuntu 10.10 on a 4Gb thumb drive using dd and then swapped the two drives and used Ubuntu again to dd the clone image back onto the new drive. Interestingly, you can run the cloned image from the thumb drive if you wish. Once you have got the new image onto the 64Gb SSD go into disk management and expand the partition to the max it will allow.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airborne Aircrew:
My SSD failed... It would boot to the bootloader but when I selected either OS it would fail to find the Android load and would show the "Starting Windows" screen of Win7 but would just stall there. I put the Ubuntu load on the thumb drive and that would begin to boot and then hang similarly to the Win7 load. I took out the 64Gb and put the 16 back in and it worked fine. I popped the 64Gb in a Win7 workstation and it stalled at the "Starting Windows" screen.

The Contact Us page of the site allows you to write whatever you like but it won't post so I started to think I have a major problem. I found the email address of the vendor and wrote them an email and was pleasantly surprised to get a response within 12 hours, (the vendor is 12 hours away in time zones), telling me that the SSD drives have a two year warranty and all I need to do is return the faulty device for exchange.

So, while I'm unhappy it failed I am very happy with the vendor so far.
