GAS not locking on. - Dell Streak 7

GPS not locking on any sats
I'm sorry if this has been asked, I did try searching but couldn't find that there was a fix.
Thanks for any that is willing to help.

Ok sorry, I got it it lock within 30 seconds to 1min by replacing the gps.conf file from a thread found through a fix for my G2X and it seems to be working for now indoors and out. I guess we'll see how this goes over.

Be glad the gas isn't locking on, I ate spicy last night. Wait, what?
gps.conf ? Could you link this thread? I haven't had any problems with the GPS on my DS7 but it is a little slow it seems.. Almost every time I use the built-in GPS it's about a minute, doesn't seem like it's keeping fresh ephemeris data or something.

what system are you using and where is this gps.conf file?

I am running the honeystreak 2.0R1 and used the file found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085354
You can unzip the file you need and copy/paste it to /system/etc but I would make a backup of the one in there before doing this. I get a lock within 30 seconds.

thanks man - i'll try it tonight...cheers!

Just use FasterFix in the market, you can pick which region you're in. But first off, look at /system/etc/gps.conf, if it's already set to your region and it looks right don't mess with it. My Nexus One was what I expect, and the DS7 is slightly different. Worth a shot I guess.
But again, I'd do it from the market app, less likely to make a typo.

There is no need to edit the file all your doing is replacing it. With the one with your correct region. If the app from the market works that's great. I perfer to edit or replace my files manually so that I know I have a backup incase I need to restore.

Gps status from the market works well to

At least you get a lock. Mine takes up to 30 minutes and isn't worth the hassle.

I get a GPS lock in 2-3 seconds most times at my house with a typical wooden/shingled roof.

Adventure Time App - Need some testing

I published an Adventure Time app to the Market recently and a couple of Epic users have reported that it doesn't work for them. I have a hunch about what might be wrong and I changed a few things and need some of you guys to test things out for me before I make an official update.
Below is the link to the apk. Will someone install it and check to see if Finn (the first character) plays sound when you press on him? The other characters shouldn't work, if my hunch is right.

They all talk when I press them. Bonsai 3.0.1

I selected the sounds and all I've gotten is a black screen.. 3 times... stock eb13, rooted

So, just to be clear. You click on a character and then receive a black screen each time?
the board next to the characters on the first screen.. one says stickers that takes me to the next screen (not avail.).. but when I press sounds, screen goes black.. also I uninstalled and then deleted the .apk... dl'd the link again, installed second time, same result.

this is cool I downloaded it form the market, would be sweet if you could choose the character then choose the phrase but i haven't experienced any problems

Okay, thanks for letting me know. Well, I have no idea why it's working for some and not others. Maybe it's a memory thing.

Walking Counter FC
Every thing except for the Walking Counter is working fine. Every time I try to use the Walking Counter I get a FC. I re downloaded and reinstalled to see if that would help but no such luck. Anybody else having issues with that feature?

Pretty cool, walking counter no go
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Walking counter a no go here as well.. The temp thing still figuring out.. When you first load it up it says 32 F, but reading more in the settings it could take up to 30 minutes to calibrate the temp.. doesn't seem pratical to have to have the temp up for 30 minutes just to look at it in a different way
It also says 32 degrees f for me, its actually 78
Walking app fc's too.

Could the g'zone have an actual thermometer built in to give you the exact temp of the air around you? If that was the case I would assume it's reading the default temp for everyone because the TB is missing the driver.

Agile Lock Screen - CM7

Guys, saw someone else post this in the Development forum and thought I would post here. Basically the sense 3.0 Lockscreen but I cannot seem to get it to work. I'm guessing it's something within my settings but if one of you gets it working please let me know. Always nice to have options!

I like the ripple lock :-D
I have it working. Click on the app in your app drawer and then click start. Thats it! I think I may buy it that way I can adjust everything. For those who bought it, you can change the icons right?

Yah I tried that before too, I'm thinking it may have something to do with my cm lock screen settings that are conflicting with this. I'm using the lense.

Sounds great, I would love to get this to work and I'll continue to play with it.
Interestingly enough, when I disable the Status Bar in the Agile Lock settings everything works as it should. Of course this is only available in the paid version.
This work for anyone else?

XOOM light sensor screen lock/unlock

Help!! Haha i had seen an app a while back that some dev had made where the XOOM could lock upon light sensor being covered and awakened when uncovered but i can't seem to find it now! Should of just bought it back then. Anyways if anyone knows of it or a different similar app that uses light sensor info would greatly be appreciated thanks!

I just downloaded that and it seems to work well. One of the default settings disables it in landscape mode, which might be the problem you guys are having. Either deselect that option or try it in portrait mode to see if that works.
I'd still like to find something closer to what is described in the OP. It would be kind of useful to have it just turn on and off when I open and close my case.
Aite I got it to work upon closing sweet now if i can just find one that "aweken" my Xoom upon opening case....

I think you might be talking about Killswitch. It was developed by an xda dev. I tried to use it with my 7 inch tab, but had fcs. However he was very helpful. I haven't tried it with the Xoom, but I think I'll look it up.

EVO 3D effect on Vivid Home Screen

I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO POST THIS, SO IF THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE, FEEL FREE TO REMOVE OR MOVE.
If this has already been posted, please kindly disregard post. I didn't find it any other place, so..!
The way I got it to work on mine is I used SQLLite Editor. You must be rooted obviously.
Go to SQLLite and scroll until you find "Settings Storage" (com.android.providers.settings)
Tap it, then tap settings.db
Then tap system
Tap htc_3d_home_screen, then hit your menu button and select "Edit Record"
Change value from "0" to "1"
Reboot phone
Once phone reboots, look at screen, now move phone side by side and you'll see the so called 3D effect you see on the Evo3D.
Not much, but thought some of you might be interested or curious as to how it would look on the Vivid.
You can always switch that off by doing the same thing, then switching the 1 for a "0", then reboot.
I didn't notice battery change either way, your choice
Happy New Year
I guess I'll throw in that famous disclaimer: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE BY MAKING THESE MODIFICATIONS, DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO MESS WITH THE DB FILES, READ UPON AND LEARN BEFORE YOU CHANGE ANYTHING. SOME CHANGES CAN AND WILL RENDER YOUR DEVICE USELESS..
Awesome. Thanks for sharing this. I'll have to give it a try.

I don't notice any tho, which is funny considering that it's supposed to use processor resources to make the effect. I've had it on since 10am this morning and didn't notice any lag
BTW, do you know why I have to set my timezone each time I reboot my phone? It is annoying !!
Running beta 10, but is been doing it on any of the roms out there. Thought it was a kernel issue, but not sure. It is set to automatic for time and timezone

My thought is it happens after losing network and getting it back. Hard to tell though. It was always in my status bar when I unlock. But going into Date/Time settings still shows right time zone and time.
