GPS On Incredisbel s

is it just me or it take a few mins to lock the satelite. My friend has an atrix and that thing lock satellite like in no time. I got so embarassed comparing, please advise. Thanks.

Actually I am surprised how quickly my IS locks on to sat. It takes just a few seconds.
My old phone (SE X10 Minipro) took ages / 10 - 60 seconds.

Try changing APN type to "default,mms,supl" then reboot. It's under wireless network settings.

I have the same issue with gps taking longer than normal to lock. Outside it works fine. Inside a building or home not so well. Gps worked better on my Nexus one inside and outside.

I upgraded from Hero to IS and the only thing that IS let me down is its GPS. Hero is much faster to acquire a lock and being stable afterward. But IS is very unstable in this regard. Sometime it takes only a few seconds while most other time at least 5 minutes. I'm talking about testing at the exactly same spot but different time.
Maybe try out scmasaru's suggestion later.

are you talking about GPS without WiFi network ? My IS can not catch GPS if no wifi is on.
But my previous N1 can easily catch GPS without any WiFi

WiFi/mobile data should assist GPS to lock faster but not necessary. My IS take ages to get a lock if only GPS is switched on. There's definitely something wrong here.

Help you with what? Buy an Atrix if you want faster indoor GPS.
The only time I need GPS is when I'm outdoors, so I don't see the issue unless you have a habit of waking up in strange buildings...

Just learned from another thread that the antenna of IS is attached to the battery case. So maybe all our GPS reception problem is caused by a loose connection?

[GUIDE] How to Get Free Wifi Tether on Droid Bionic!

So, here's a way you can get FREE wifi tethering/mobile hotspot on your Droid Bionic so you don't have to pay Verizon twice for the same internet you are already paying for. I don't know why Verizon would block this feature especially when you consider that there's a 2GB cap on your mobile internet usage anyways.
<MOD EDIT>

We don't have a 2GB cap. I've been over 2GB's a month for almost a year without any issues.

we don't?

Two gig limit is for anyone that was not grandfatherd in. Data plans now have limits and different caps.

<MOD EDIT>

I am grandfathered in, Verizon throttles you once you reach 5gigs while on 3G, but they haven't been able to throttle 4G still, enjoy it while it lasts, I am at >3 gigs so far this month, and that is with no tethering!

im trying to do this but i have windows 7. for some reason the usb is not recognized by my comp... also do u have the latest readiocomm for me it says that mine is 2 month old

[Q] Spoof a wifi connection

this is an odd one. With all the ten cent deals in the app store, i've finally bought some games for my phone. only problem is my phone is my internet connection, so i don't have a wifi hotspot to connect to to download the data required for certain games. anyone know a way, short of modding the apk, to spoof a wifi connection? thanks

It took a bit of digging but I found this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17124625#post17124625
I haven't tested it myself, but it appears other people have had success. Wouldn't mind knowing if it ends up working for ya.
Good luck.

Thanks for looking it up and getting back to me so fast man, you're always really helpful. I couldn't find anything to help before. Unfortunately it looks like game companies have gotten around this workaround... So no luck so far

You could always go park in front of a coffee shop for a few minutes.

[Q] VZW throttling UDP plans?

Hi,
Maybe I have a bad phone or some kind of weird configuration error, but I noticing that speedtest seems to not being able to go any higher than 20/20 on my Nexus 6.
Did the test on several places around NYC, no matter what, same result.
I'm stock, bootloader unlocked and rooted, nothing fancy or changed and my usage is less than 10GB a month.
My question is, does anyone else has the same problem?

Not that I'm complaining, just that I find it weird that i always get the number, when i see others posting way higher numbers.

..and way lower numbers as well.
of course when ppl post speed tests, they usually post their highest numbers, and not low numbers. but, as always, speeds vary 100% of the time. if your network is busy, youll get lower speeds, when the network is slower(like 4am) youll get higher speeds.

Agreed on all accounts, but like I said, just so strange that no matter what, it seems to just not pass 20.

Wireless connectivity speed issue

Hey guys, just got my note 8 after not having owned an Android since the SGS6 Edge and I'm noticing that my LTE and Wifi speeds are quite slow. I also own an iPhone X (business phone, please don't hate me) and on that I get well over 100mbps download on LTE and on wifi I get on average 70-90mbps download speeds. However after running speed tests on my note I'm only able to achieve 15mpbs or less on LTE and 40mbps or less on wifi. BTW I have an unlocked N8 direct from Samsung and I'm running on AT&T network.
Also I've done a fairly thorough search for answers already befofe making this post and yielded no helpful results. I'm not new to xda by any means so if there's a thread I've missed then please just direct me to it. Not my intent to create a duplicate post.
Thanks all

Well I hate you already for owning an iphone x ha jk. Hugs for iphone people. Yeah that's a big difference. We appreciate you doing research before posting. Now you said searched for answers and no success. What have you tried so we don't suggest duplicate answers? I got few suggestions and links. I am sure others do as well.

At this point I've reset the default apn profile in settings and looked around the settings for anything else that might be useful but that was all I could find. Still no luck increasing data speeds however.
Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

If you use the same wi-fi and your Note 8 download speed is lower than iPhone's X it means that either Note 8 connections are slower or there is an issue with your device.
Do you have any other Android devices to test with the same wifi network? If the other Android phone downloads at speeds similar to iPhone X's one, than there is an issue with your Note 8.

Did you get or was there a need to have the IMEI number of your unlocked device provisioned for use on the att network? In respect of LTE speeds.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I'm not sure about IOS, but on android background apps can kill your speed scores. Try closing all apps and try again. I can go from 300mb down to 97mb with apps running in the background. Just using the recent apps->close all should suffice.

I have a bad habit of closing out all my apps when I'm not using them anyway, I know a lot of people swear this can cause more battery drain but my OCD doesn't like having so many apps in the switcher.. [emoji28]
