To upgrade the Radio you need ENG S-OFF.

you wont loose root when you upgrade the Radio.

but changing Radio doesnt necessarily mean that you'll get better results. It could also be worse afterwards and the process can brick your phone, although unlikely!
[Desire HD General] crazyst3ve:
did it again and got the same error only this time had 6 satellites and after leaving it there for 3 min it finally locked onto where I actually am...then lost it a minute later and there are now clouds... any radio pack I can download? and how to do it? i probably fall into a middle east Africa radio pack as I'm South Africa
[Desire HD General] popopow:
Well, i'm wondering if GPS technology is not a little bit random. depending on the satellites position and other things. Sunday, i was on a park, clear sunny sky, light wind, no buildings, some trees. Couldn't get a proper fix.

2 days ago, i was getting a fix after waiting 5 minutes, then repeatedly loosing it for a short time. never more than 6 satellites and very poor précision.

Then this morning, sunny sky again, fix after 1 minute, 7 satellites, 15m precision, but not loosing the fix.

Now i upgraded the radio, but sky is cloudy again. 2 minutes to get a fix. precision 20m. 6 or 7 satelites. But when i let the phone alone on a table, it magically went to 9 satellites and 9m precision. Took the phone back in hands. the precision droped again to 15-20m and 7 satelites. Looks like the iphone antenna bug. Started to move the phone around me, the number of satellites droped again to 5. and so the précision. Seems very sensitive ! And doesn't seems any better with the new radio.

What is strange is that the Hero and the original desire have a much better precsion ! 9 satellite and 5m holding them in hand under a cloudy sky.

The good thing, is since i switched from my nexus one to the desire HD, i run 20% faster during my workouts ;)
[Desire HD General] crazyst3ve:
ah that is a plus side :P and yeah I can't understand while previous phones are stable but not the DHD, even tho as far as I know the antenna in the DHD is the same as the desire...how do you mess up that :/
[Desire HD General] Dawizman:
Sitting in my truck I get a fix in about 10 seconds. I get between 6 and 10 satellites with 2-4m precision.
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Desire hd, Leedroid 2.2.2, radio 26.04.02.17_m2.

Fix in 20 sec from cold, 8m accuracy.

I had cm7 rc2 on here the other day and it was taking like five minutes to fix and google navigation lost fix in mid route about three times. Didn't take me long to restore my sense based nandroid.

Sent from my Desire HD pocket rocket.
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
I get a fix in some 15 seconds. It sees 9 satellites and gives an error of 6 metres.
[Desire HD General] meeces2911:
I got a fix in 14 sec (warm fix, i missed it the first time)

with about 6 sats (was 9 at one point)

Cloudy day.

Error of about 14m. (was as low as 5 and as high as 30)
[Desire HD General] in4ra:
My Case-Mate Pop case is interfering with the GPS performance. Satellite locks take a significantly longer time to occur and the spread fluctuates from 10-40 meters. Satellite lock time and accuracy are much better without the case.

Anyone else having problems, try using your GPS without your case to see if it makes a difference.

Error 6m

Took about 30 seconds

This was done in my house not outside

Using ARHD 3.1, 1.3.8 buzz kernel, recommend radio, performance patch 3.1 and fasterfix from market its free
[Desire HD General] garethjknight:
Time to get a fix and accuracy is one problem I often get, which is annoying, but what I really don't understand is the way the phone looses the signal once it has a fix.

I've had various HTC devices over the years, all on WM until the DHD. ON my last phone for example (Touch Diamond 2) once you had a fix, it was rock solid. You could change apps or even have 2 different programs using the GPS and it wouldn't miss a beat. With the DHD it couldn't be more different.

For example, say I am in "Maps" and have a good fix and accurate position. I then search for a destination and select "Driving Directions". Google Navigator opens, and then starts searching for a GPS signal!!! It takes a while before it locks on and then works out the directions. Why does it do this!!?? If I then switch to another program, it does the same. So annoying! It's the same if I use GPS status to download AGPS info. I get a fix with GPS Status, but when I switch to another application the GPS signal is dropped and it takes a while to fix again.

ARHD 3.1 and reccommended radio.

Fix in less than 5 seconds.

8-11 satelites.

around 5m accuracy.

Couldnt get a GPS lock at all when roaming on my holidays.
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
LeeDrOiD v2.2.2 + Cingular radio (see sig for build number).

Fix in less than 5 seconds, accurate to around 20m then closes in to around 5m after a few seconds more. First time using GPS since moving from ARHD to LeeDrOiD so I'm quite impressed. Tested outside of course.

@spc_hicks09, hope everything's alright there in Hawaii. Batten down the hatches!
[Droid Eris General] spc_hicks09:
Yeah it's just now starting to hit but we should be ok. We're about 12-15 miles inland and pretty high above sea level so we should be good. Thanks for the concern though man !!
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Cool, good to hear.
[Droid Eris General] willwgp:
Praying for all that were affected by the earthquake and tsunami! Very scary!
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It's amazing the awesome power of nature.
[Droid Eris General] spc_hicks09:
Well nothing bad happened here at all, so for everyone out there that does pray, please say a prayer for all the citizens of Japan devistated by this unfortunate event. The only thing that happened here was the water rose about 6 feet. Minimal flooding and no property damage. 12 ft. waves recorded at North Shore (that is normal though lol, they get pretty big there). Again just keep the citizens of Japan in your thoughts and we all wish them the best of luck !!!
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
They'll continue to be in my thoughts! Thanks for letting us know. I hope all the nuclear reactors are controlled quickly. I'm very familiar with nuclear technology, plus I grew up close enough to Three Mile Island and remember being sent home from school that day in the 70s. My brother works in the nuclear power industry, so he's taught me even more than I would probably learn except by a lot of reading.
[Droid Eris General] wildstang83:
Glad to here your doing ok. You and everyone else that have been effected by this are in my thoughts and prayers. Also those involved in the Oklahoma wild fires.

How to flash FolioStock. I have big problem with wifi. When I try to install stock I get installation aborted. Redownload but nothing.

What to do?
[Folio 100 General] mblaster:
What recovery do you use? Make sure it is the original recovery (the one in the FolioStock update.zip). There was a howto somewhere around to get it on the device if you changed it.
[Folio 100 General] Jon2555:
I try with original and clockwork mod but no luck.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ionstorm3:
Update: Does not seem to work. Only reports the battery in increments of 10%.

I have created a framework-res apk that changes the stock battery in the notification bar to one with a percent symbol in it. The percentage is suppose to be accurate to 1%. Example: it will read 100% then 99% 89% etc. I pushed the apk to my phone several times and everything is working. However my battery is fully charged and therefore I cannot verify that it display battery percent in increments of 1. Is it possible for someone with a battery that is not fully charged to test the apk and see if indeed it works?

This works with the stock rom only. Doesn't work with adeo.

Btw I am using a deodexed framework as a base.

Instructions:

Just replace the original framework-res.apk in /system/framework/ with the one I have created.

noticing a few people with the dreaded slow a$$ 3g speed calling sprint and sprint "refreshing your data services" and problem solved. can people try/confirm this? id call but i am away at school and not sure if i have the permissions of my family plan to get the help i need (if thats false let me know).
[EVO 4G General] bucketheadmn:
You should not even need to verify the account to get tech support. I called in on my dads phone the other week and was helped even thought I am not listed anywhere on his account.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
It doesnt work. Every time they try that on my phone, it seems to help for an hour or so, then back to the pits.

If you want to do it, there is two ways they do it. One, hit menu-settings-system updates-data profile. If you are on a sense rom of course.

The second, and better way, is to hit ##3282#, hit edit, enter your MSL, hit Data Profile, then menu-Restore. It will load the new settings, then restart your phone. Once your phone restarts it will re-activate your phone, so give it a few minutes.

If you dont have your msl, do an online chat with sprint and ask them. If they ask, just tell them a tech on the phone told you the number, but you forgot it.
[EVO 4G General] thekingofmean:
Or if you are rooted get MSL-reader from the market.
[EVO 4G General] tempe38:
I tried the first, didn't seem to help at all, then tried the second and same thing. Still slow. :(
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Which is why I told you it doesn't work. Slow 3g speeds are a problem with sprint's network, not your phone. Trust me, I have done every fix that sprint knows of, plus had the phone replaced 5 times, and its still slow.
[EVO 4G General] pimp100500:
you can use adblocker and select your own ip and type in 0.0.0.0 and restart the phone nd you will have wayyy better speeds....you must be rooted by the way
[EVO 4G General] mic.mayorga:
idk about this fix. ive installed adfree before and it didnt do ****. maybe a little better but not really...
[EVO 4G General] mic.mayorga:
and what adblocker app are you talking about? theres a bunch
[EVO 4G General] pimp100500:
adfree my bad i was thinkin of a different app ill try to take a few shots of the steps so i can show u how...my 3g is running at about faster 3G....you can cheak at mobilespeedtest.com off your phone and itll show you your speed and it compared to others
[EVO 4G General] pimp100500:
First i went to mobilespeedtest.com and clicked run test to see my speed to see if there was an increase or not anyways, heres what i did first i located my Msl i got it using msl reader then i typed ##3282# in my dialer and went to edit mode, typed in mt password (MSL) and went to data profile and hit menu and restore. After reboot i went bak to my dialer again typed in ##3282# and typed my password(MSL) and went to advanced and scrolled down to HTTP PD Proxy Port and set that to 0(zero, not o or O) then click ok after that go to HTTP PD Proxy Port Address and changes it to 0.0.0.0(again all zeros, not o or O) rebooted my phone. after reboot go to the market and download adfree and open it up select Use custom IP and type in 0.0.0.0(again all zeros, not o or O) and hit download & install host after that let the app reboot and go to your browser and navigate to mobilespeedtest.com and you can see it is going faster
[EVO 4G General] mic.mayorga:
we all know this trick. thanks though
[EVO 4G General] pimp100500:
thats my speed after all this....make sure to do everything exactly like i sayed or it may not work
[EVO 4G General] pimp100500:
it works if you do all those together so the HTTP PD Proxy Port Address and host files are the same,,,this also makes it so you dont get as many ads as you would
[EVO 4G General] mic.mayorga:
gotta give you some credit. speed definitely went up. only to about 600 but its useable at least. thanks man
[EVO 4G General] mic.mayorga:
i lied. only for one test. fml
[EVO 4G General] pimp100500:
Umm there was another hack that helped because sprint limited the speeds like u would get fast speeds then slow there was a flashable zip I believe tht would fix it,,,i think thats the prob u got....will try to figure this out for sure
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saryu:
hi, i'm having problem with USB debugging.

i just update manually from 2.3.2 CM7 RC1 to 2.3.3 with the link.

now i'm having some trouble, one of them is i can't seems to connect my nexus s to USB-debugging mode. I already check the "USB-debugging", usually i see "USB-debugging is connected" under notification area, but now i don't see it at all.

other problem is my home button is also screw up and my lockscreen is gone (maybe because i'm messing with it in CM7), so i need to get my root back on but i can't seems to root it back without USB-debugging..

Any help is appreciated, thx..
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobby-c:
Hi,

I'm seeing a lot of impressive work being done with Android 2.2 on the X1. So i'm thinking of taking the plunge and want to install it on my X1. But before I do that, I have some questions.

1) What if I don't like it? I read about freezing keys etc. How do I go back to the original WM6.1 on the X1? Do I just remove the installation folder or something. Or is it some kind of dual boot? I tried to google it, but really couldn't find the answer.

2) Will Android affect anything I have on my WM6.1? Like the contacts, notes, word docs, photos and other programs?

Thanks in advance!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruno_123:
1) installation is just like installing windows on new partition(this is the case with ext2 builds) or it is as simple as placing a few files and folders to the root of your sd card(in this case these are fat32 builds) to use nay of these there are tuts in xperia android development forum

2) in does not effect anything on your win 6.1 and i mean anything , if you want to go back you can simply shut down android and boot back up into win since android is started trough execution of haret.exe this does not effect anything at all on your wm rom
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobby-c:
Thanks. I already read a lot of tutorials here, cause i'm really excited to use Android on my X1 :) but none of them says anything about going back to WM. But thanks to you I now know how to do that. Already got the files and programs, can't wait to get started :D
[Click Android Development] tbo-art:
Tbo-rom is my first ROM. It's based on MondoROM and the Orange rom. :D

Link to Picasa webalbum: https://picasaweb.google.com/106748...authkey=Gv1sRgCN3GhtaNzrX0qwE&feat=directlink

ROM info:

Android 1.6

su + Superuser

Kernel from on MondoROM

Busybox

Apps2SD

Market v2.3.4 patched

White Sense UI

Wireless Tethering

WWE languages

You need Amon-RA recovery to flash it. Remember to do a nandroid and wipe if it is your first time you flash this ROM.

Install at your own risk!

What works and what not:

Camera and FM-radio works because it's an 1.6 ROM

For the Apps2SD you need a EXT3 partition and you can't take the sd-card out of your Tattoo

If the market won't download, just reboot your Tattoo and it will work again.

The bootscreen is almost good. In the next release I have something better.

V0.1

Additional release

Tbo-rom_0.1

Needs to be done:

Fix bootscreen

Make it possible to flash with Clockworkmod so we can use Rommanager.

Let me know what you think of my ROM.
[Click Android Development] goran95:
nice rom,so what program you use to take this screenshots from tattoo?
[Click Android Development] tbo-art:
Thanks, it's called drocap2. It's in the market.
[Click Android Development] rallapag:
I could write updater script from update script of mondorom and flashed using clock workmod.

Check last post in mondo rom
[Click Android Development] tbo-art:
Can I just copy the META-INF folder to my ROM?
[Click Android Development] rallapag:
if you are using the same update script as in mondo rom, yes you can replace META-INF folder.

I have included both update and updater script so can flashed using any recovery.

I am just downloading your ROM so will double check and let you know

EDIT:

There is only one difference between the two,

But i have forwarded you a PM that i have sent to Marko (markokikinda), please explain me so that i can change necessary commands.

EDIT:

Got the answer from Marko, so attached folder contents can be replaced with /META-INF/com/google/android/ contents to work with both amorn and clockwork recoveries
[Click Android Development] rallapag:
problem

i had to delete at least of 2MB of files, most wallpapers to be able to install.

Other wise i get following error (taken from recovery log)

"minzip: Error writing from zip file : No space left on device"

I was trying to test using clockwork mod

after deleting all the wallpapers from /system/customize/resource folder in the zip

i could install with out problem and boot in to ROM
[Click Android Development] tbo-art:
Thank you very much. :D
[Click Android Development] tbo-art:
What should I do. It isn't too big is it?
[Click Android Development] rallapag:
Well i have a problem with clockwork, that i needed to remove 2MB (so removed wallpapers).

May be it isn't problem with Amron RA (i guess you would know if it had been).

So if you want to get this installed using clockwork as well, then try to reduce contents of system by 2MB.

I don't understand this difference yet, will let you know further when i get the idea
[Click Android Development] tbo-art:
Ok will look at it today
[Click Android Development] tbo-art:
If got a new problem. I can't change my recovery. I want to flash clockworkmod recovery, but it says the device is out of memory. What should I do?
[Click Android Development] rallapag:
Possibilities are that mostly it could be root issues or a random error.

Did you try flashing recovery while in recovery, that works better

(remember that you can't use backups from one recovery with other - so far to my understanding).
[Click Android Development] tbo-art:
Will try that. Thanks

It says 'no such file or directory'. What should I do now?
[Click Android Development] rallapag:
'no such file or directory' does it referring to recovery file or flash_image

are you following some guide

If you want to do manually here is my guide

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9192029&postcount=21

or use automated flashing from following thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=950759
[Click Android Development] tbo-art:
It is missing the recovery file. the flash_image is in my rom.
[Click Android Development] rallapag:
Now i get the problem

You have to mount /sdcard

while in recovery

adb shell
mount /sdcard
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

That should do the trick
[Click Android Development] rallapag:
Are you sure that you are using above commands while booting in to recovery??
[Click Android Development] tbo-art:
I forgot that. It worked. Thank you very much. :D

post #157
[Defy General] wizard123:
Just to report back i received the k850i earpiece today and successfully replaced it with the original one from the Defy, works perfectly and no modding at all except flattening the terminals slightly, its a very snug fit but is working fine and is much clearer than the original one in terms of call quality. Maybe the mods could sticky this or something incase anyone else has the earpiece problem. Total cost of repair £1.99 for earpiece and about 30minutes of my time !! much better than sending to motorolla for weeks on end in my opinion.

Cheers

Wizard123;)
[Defy General] nicksti:
That is great info to know! I am more confident in getting a Defy now knowing I can fix it on my own.

Any guide with pictures for us?
[Defy General] xdaid:
well done wizard123

i hope i will never have to do what you did with your speaker but... who knows?

yes a detailed guide with picture and tools-to-use would be a nice idea - really useful for all the people who void the warranty :)
[Defy General] technome:
A quick question...

What's the waterproofing situation like? Is there a membrane between the earpiece and the outside world or is it built into the Defy earpiece?
[Defy General] wizard123:
No problem guys, i hope you never have the issues but i know it did hit alot of people including me and motorolla claim mines was out of warranty being only 3 months old ?! but hey i dont have time to argue or mess about as i need my phone.

I will try to get some pictures up but in the meantime follow these steps it is so so simple :

1. Remove battery & SIM card

2. Remove the 7 screws from around the phone casing and the 2 silver screws underneath the back cover. ( You will need very small torx bits )

3. Separate the two halfs of the casing, ( very stiff and fiddly but dont be affraid to use a little force )

4. Carefully lift off the 2 connectors on the main PCB board and lift it out ( careful not to lose the yellow rubber washers )

5. Use a small pair of pliers or long nosed pliers to gently grib either side of the earpiece and slowly wiggle side to side untill it comes loose and lifts out ( This takes patience as it is very well glued in but does free off )

6. Take your new K850i earpiece and place into the slot with the two springy copper terminals facing up towards the top of the phone ( you dont HAVE to but i did flatten the terminals a little bit so not to bend the PCB board when you place it back in ) having the springy terminals on these earpieces placed the correct way up creates a very solid connection to the board too unlike the original earpieces which dont have any at all just flat terminals.

7. Return the PCB board back into position and reattach the 2 connectors removed in step 4.

8. Return the casing back into place and install all the screws ( dont forget the 2 SILVER screws FIRST, these hold the PCB board down to the casing and hold the connection solid to the earpiece )

9. Place SIM card and battery back in and boot up your fresh earpieced Defy :D

Pictures to follow soon hopefully ;)

Cheers

Wizard123

*EDIT*

Have attached some pictures to reference, hope they help ;)
[Defy General] wizard123:
There IS a tiny tiny membrane between the earpiece and the casing and does appear that it would still be waterproof but i have yet to test that and not sure if i will as it is a BIG BIG risk lol ( maybe though hmmm :rolleyes: )
[Defy General] technome:
Thanks for that.

So the membrane stayed with the handset casing through the procedure?

That's interesting. Maybe the failures are caused by poor connections in the first place. Perhaps a pre-emptive strike with some electrically conductive paint would save the day. It's claimed to function as an adhesive.
