This topic should have been created to general. GPS will work on most of the ROMs, and the lock time can be even boosted with some apps. Tutorials to boost lock time can be found on xda, but in different device forums. Use search to find them. Tablet seems to be faster for me. I also use supercharger script which keeps makes the device work better too.

To my experience, there is one caveat, especially for overclocked models and units. The CPU produces too much heat, and the GPS receiver stops working in some finite time. Either it sees the satellites but cannot fix on them, or does not see them at all. Then the CPU and the GPS start running at their full speed, searching for the satellites, and heat even more, etc. Finally it may be so hot that you sense burnt if you touch the plastic (!) housing at the motherboard corner.
Once switched off and cooled, it works properly, but not too long - in my case, about 10 to 15 minutes. Surely it dependes heavily upon the GPS program that you are running, and upon how intensively it uses the CPU. But nowdays most programs are written in the most straight way to run the engine at full rate, without regard to the fuel tank 8-(
First I ran into this problem on 1,2GHz model, now things are even worse on 1,5GHz motherboard. I think CPU needs to be deliberately underclocked when using this device as a GPS navigator. And generally this is not the best product for this application. It makes sense using its GPS capability only occasionally, in non-critical situations, as a side benefit to its other uses (media player/internet browser/book reader/etc.)
ps. There have been numerous complains in this forum about GPS non-working in various firmwares. In such cases, check for overheating first of all! This is really a weak point in A101G9 design. Apparently the overall design was done for 1GHz CPU, and putting the 1,2 or 1,5GHz in the same housing is beyond its cooling capabilities. Or think about placing a small USB-powered fan into the modem slot, it is possible to do even without opening the device itself.
My GPS does not work atm. I was hoping that using a custom rom would fix that. Hmmmm what to do?

My experience with Rooted Firmwares is good, the tablet runs a bit smoother if you set the cpu at the maximum clock and have it stay there, battery life is not affected from what I've seen... The Tablet does get warm if you give it "intense" tasks, but not hot enough for it to "burn" in you hands... GPS has been working 100% perfect for me... maby try installing GPS test and faster fix from the market, that might improve the gps performance.
Rooted my 101 T9 Turbo, no GPS problems at all.
Posted from Android 4.0.3
I have a G9 80. I have seen success with the following ROMs:
1.Stock ICS 4.0.7 Rooted (not the deodex version, but the original version)
2. ICS Blue
Stock 4.0.6 rooted did not work (couldn't lock onto satellites) and neither did 4.0.7 in deodex form (Sygic GPS software crashed). Make sure after flashing rooted ROM that you also download GPS Test app. Go into settings and clear AGPS data. This should allow you to lock onto satellites very quickly.
I'm currently running the ICS Blue ROM using the Sygic GPS software and loving it.

Awesome, I'm working on getting blue loaded, but I'm running into a couple of snags. Good to hear that it works with blue. Blue with o/c will be my weapon of choice now. Hopefully going to get it loaded tomorrow, as well as jellybean on my 989 galaxy.

Hello,
can anyone tell me what is the connection speed using 802.11ac ?
i know that on GN with wifi n you cannot exceed 65mbs and i hope HTC doesn't limit the ac to a speed lower than 900mbs.
Thank you!
Damn, you're talking about 900mbps? I've got a connection of only 21 mbps
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using Tapatalk 2
802.11ac is only as fast as your router and the speeds you get from your provider, and as far as I know, no provider offers 900mbps connections. I have xfinity 105 mbps package and the wifi on my iphone 5 averages 50 mbps

this is not entirely true.
google fiber has 1Gb internet solution but this is not what I'm trying to find out.
I want to know the connection speed showed in settings under wifi when you are connected to a 802.11ac router.
433Mbit/sec is the theoretical maximum for the HTC One

yes, i can use all the bandwidth from a 802.11ac and the simplest example is file sharing.
also you are not limited to 1 process so you can simultaneously do file sharing, video streaming, download, upload etc.
I am finding that the HTC One refuses to connect to my Asus RT-AC66U router. Unfortunately the AC standard being draft, I suspect its a compatibility issue. It seems to go into authentication, delay, then try again over and over.
In the end I had to connect on my 2.4GHz output instead for now.

I got the phone working with my Asus RT-AC66U by updating to unofficial Beta firmware .352 on the Asus. I have a 38MB connection with BT Infinity, but I can't get higher than 31Meg with the speedtest on download on the One, but I do see 36.5 from a PC so for some reason I am not quite maxing out.

you might be limited due to write speed on phone's memory card.
can you transfer trough ftp from your pc to the phone a large file and monitor the transfer speed?

I get my Netgear's 5GHz wifi to appear and can connect to it as well. I'm on the Dev Edition if that helps.
Is there a way for you to check if another device can see the 5GHz wifi?
Check what channel your 5ghz is on. I used wifi analyzer and under channels I noticed only certain ones were checked. I changed my router to one of those and it works great.

Your 5Ghz will have shorter range than 2.4. Are you fairly close to the router or access point?

My Moto X seems to do extremely well with 5ghz wifi. Way better that my former Samsung GS2. Much better range in particular, though still not as good as 2.4 ghz. However, this phone may have issues with some routers as I have problems with 2.4 ghz wifi and my netgear WNDR3700 as referenced here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433041&highlight=wifi+issues
I should also point out I have very little 5 ghz interference, but many neighboring 2.4 ghz access points. This is on small lots, not in an apartment so its still mostly ok.
Make sure the 5 GHz radio in enabled under Settings > WiFi > Advanced > Wifi frequency band
Yeah, I might have to get my phone changed out. My laptop is connected to 5ghz but my phone won't even see it.
**Edit**
So while looking at Wifi Analyzer, I realized that my phone doesn't support anything below channel 149 on the 5GHZ range. Mine is fancy wireless

There is a reason for that.
When your phone scans for a WiFi network, it scans through 11 wireless channels on 2.4Ghz (in the US). When your phone scans for 5Ghz it has more channels to scan through, 13-15 depending on your router.
That combined with already mentioned reasons such as better 2.4Ghz propagation in homes/offices makes it easier for the phone to connect. Whether 2.4Ghz or 5.8Ghz, every gain increase of 3dBm doubles transmit power. In one given spot with your router in another room, your 2.4Ghz signal is typically going to be stronger. It is going to choose the 2.4Ghz because the phone scanned and saw it, and the signal was strong.

yup. i ended up forgetting my 2.4 bands in favor of the 5. now i'm upset that nothing else in my house uses the 5.
There is also a chance that depending on the cell band and frequency your phone is using it may disable certain wifi channels as they may interfere with each other. I know depending on certain cell/wifi/bt combos various power levels in the phone are reduced, I wouldn't doubt there are other rules in play as well.

In the US, 2100Mhz and 2500Mhz are the closest freqs used near a WiFi router. Channel 11 is 2462Mhz, with 3 more channels left before hitting 2.5Ghz. No carrier to my knowledge uses 5Ghz. DFS starts at 5260 to 5700.
However, BT uses 2.4Ghz, though the radio in your router likely has more output power and will force the BT to change the channel it is on.

There is way more in play then that. When a radio transmits on 850 Mhz is also transmits a lower power carrier at 1900 Mhz (known as harmonics) They are greatly reduced in power level but if they are right beside the receiver(as the case would be in a cell phone) it can cause problems. With all the possible bands a phone can transmit and receive on there will always be combinations of harmonics that will reduce the performance of other receivers in the phone. It is also possible to have further issues from mixing products but I won't go into that here.

True. I didn't really think to mention harmonics, as most people do not care nor do they understand. There are many things at play, as you said, and I will be the first to say that I do not know all of them, but you raise a good point. I am still not sure if anything running on 1900Mhz would cause issues in the 2.4Ghz band, but I have seen much stranger things happen.

All 5Ghz devices can support 2.4Ghz networks and 2.4Ghz can reach speeds of 450 Mbps or 600 Mbps. On 4G data connection, you cannot even reach those speeds so 5Ghz seems pointless for a hotspot. Is there a specific reason it has to be 5Ghz?

But you don't need 5Ghz to game? As I mentioned " 2.4Ghz can reach speeds of 450 Mbps or 600 Mbps", so unless you have a mobile data connection faster than that there is not need for 5Ghz. A 2.4Ghz could easily serve the fastest speed 4G can reach.
But 5 is a higher number than 2.4, so it must be better......
Well, Geforce Now runs better on 5ghz, maybe it's just placebo ?* ? but it actually does ?

If we all had latest gen fiber at our homes the world would be a better place, sadly it isn't possible, no matter how serious you are.
hi i have the same problem with my pixel 3a!
My solution is a mini router for 20€, connect the mobile internet via USB to the router and then connect your devices via 5ghz WLAN.
There is a big difference between 2,4 and 5ghz !!
In practice 2,4GHz does not reach more than 30mbits and the more interferences come the worse it gets.
Over the direct Hotspot of the pixel only 25mbits are usable, with the extra 5GHz router this goes up to 70mbits, so there is a clear difference!
I play over Lte and it works absolutely perfect, I sold my gaming PC last month for 2400€, so I am very happy with cloud gaming.
Here are some advantages of cloud gaming, low power consumption, no unnecessary heat development, no fan noise, mobile use, no annoying installation or updates.
To use it properly you need about 50 mbits, nowadays you can get that almost everywhere, soon also in Africa thanks to Starlink.
I also noticed that cloud gaming, whether stadia (which usually doesn't work anyway) or GeForce Now works particularly smooth on my Chrombook. In fact, even my friends discovered this!
