Hi Everyone...
I finally have my 8925 just how I like it (for now anyways).. I still have the 6.0 AT&T rom (minus the bloatware by resetting when it installed it).. I have all the programs I like, (ie HTC Home, TomTom, etc).. I even got the internet set up for my tiny hole i nthe wall providor... I do not want to flash the entire thign and start over... but my battery meter is missing from the top when it is at the Today Screen... When S2U2 is on, it shows the battery.. My Today screen is slightly longer than I want.. I was going to get rid of the HTCHomeplug, as its only real function for me is to show the battery level.. But in the Start bat, it used to show the battery if I remember right, but does not anymore... .. It shows (right to left) a 3 line thing that shows what programs are running, the time, audio levels, singal strength, Wireless connection type (E or 3G), and then a Triangle icon...
Any advice what to do? I tried that Ariel Battery and it shows the level.. but onyl when I click the file.. when I exit it goes away... I don;t really care what speed of internet is avaialble to me as I usually use WiFi anyways so that icon coudl go away, also the time is shows in the HTC Home so that could go away too if that helps.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
if you exit ariel battery it will go away. if you click hide it will not. after putting a link in the startup folder and restarting it shouldn't even show up in your task manager. hope this helps.
LVMTopBat works for me
I found LvmTopBat here. It shows battery status all the time without taking up valuable screen space. Check it out.
OK! GPS is working fine for me. Just that it takes forever to lock when there's no active data connection. Otherwise is a beauty. Now my problem is one hooked to sats the icon stop blinking which is normal but then it wouldn't disappear after I've switched off GPS. I mean to say that the icon stays there even after GPS has been switched off. Also when this happens it doesn't speak to satellites nor attempts to see them in lbstestmode. I have to restart my phone again for the icon to disappear and the phone to start talking to the satellites.
BUMP to the top!

Does the blinking icon actually affect anything you're doing? Does it cause an interruption to the webpage or anything?
Yea it does... it interupt the webpage im loading...

Try booting into recovery and clearing both cache's(on two different screens) My WiFi was scanning every few seconds and interupting web and also turning my screen on after I would turn it off...no more problems now!
Try setting the wifi option "notify me when any network is available" to disabled.
Since Sprint is going to try and screw me big time if I get a new phone, I've decided to see what new life I could put into my old Touch Diamond (DIA500). I installed XDAndroid FRX05, and it seems to be working really well, with a few exceptions. One of the first things I tried was to enable Bluetooth. What happens is that it enables, but about 4 seconds after being enabled, it says it's shutting down, then it starts back up, and shuts down. It keeps doing this forever, until I turn it off. Now that I tried Wifi, it does the exact same thing. I've rebooted a few times, and took the battery out once, but still nothing. I've since installed a battery-saving program, but this happened on a fresh install.
The next issue is with the backlight. If I try and change the brightness, it changes for a second, then goes back to the brightness it was. It does this whether I turn the brightness up or down. It's not set to auto.
The third issue is the GPS. It works, but seems to take a long time to get a lock. Under WM, I'd have some kind of location within seconds, even inside. I'm guessing it was using the phone network to speed things up. Under android, it takes a few minutes sometimes, and it's worse inside.
I also had a nightmare calibrating the screen. It's still a little off, but it works. Does anyone know a screen calibration program that would work?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
To solve the brightness problem. Boot WinMo and turn off auto brightness there. That will solve that problem.
Thanks for share you knowledge here DA01
I'm having trouble with the GPS on my ZR. Basicly it seems that it won't startup when I startup an App like Google Maps, Waze or Foursquare. GPS function is on, but it won't activate, no GPS icon shows in the top left corner. Nor does it find satellites when I check that through an app like GPS Status. When I turn off GPS by using the widget, and turn it back on, most of the time the GPS icon will appear in the upper left corner and I will get a lock on. Sadly this won't last, the icon dissappears and so does the GPS lock.
I tried this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197842
But it does not work. From the start, the app shows that my phone wont even find the satellites, in stead of just not getting a fix with them.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to try? I am om the official update 4.2.2 and unrooted.

GPS works very well for me in both 4.1.2 and 4.2.2. It seems your GPS doesn't work at all. Maybe take it back for a replacement?
Just to be sure... try tapping on the lower right icon that zooms to your default location with GPS off. It should show a pretty wide blue circle. When you toggle GPS using the widget and you see the GPS icon appearing shortly on the notification bar, can you check if the blue circle shrinks due to the more accurate GPS measurements? Of course try this in an open area...
The GPS icon doesn't stay on for me always when I turn it on, I always presume it will only really be activated periodically when it needs to...
Have you turn on some power saving function? try to turn them off.
Problem went away, but unfortunately I dont know how. I did fiddle around with the app GPS STATUS and deinstalled Google Maps to stock. Cleared all caches too. Glad it was software and not hardware.
