[Q]Location by 3g - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys i have a problem with my Lge p500 with GTR rom, when i use foursquare my phone think to stay on Rome but i'm not there, i stay on 300Km.
On The settings i have enabled the position by 3g/wifi but don't work very well.
Somebody know what i must do to resolve that??
Sorry for the bad english

Ok very interesting
I know that locating via Internet is not very exact because u are locatet by the next sending station from your provider but i never was as far away as you xD
What happens if you try to locate yourselve in the maps aplication using 3G?

I have tryed but the result is the same, by using maps, 4square or other ap who use location... it 's incredible ...

okey that could mean that u allow ur phone to use pseudo locations ( i think so because there is no other explanation i could gues)
go to settings-->applications-->development-->and look if there is a tick behind the pseudo locations

I have already try to do this but nothing change....
I want post on the 3d of my rom but it can't because i'm new

Update
Watching in the settings i have find 2 option to the location
1 is called Location and secure and the others was writhed in Italian but opening is the same things with the same options... it's a bug?

Questions regarding Hero

hi all,
just recently bought a hero and sorry for the noob questions. any help will be greatly appreciated.
1.) How do i activate the green notification light for any new notifications? so far i can only use the trackball to flash for a number of minutes and thats it.
2.) how can i permanently use 3g as a signal without switching back to edge? i prefer 3g because it is faster, but when i use the web, it reverts to edge making it slower when browsing. i want it never to switch back to edge just 3g.
3.) How do you update radio and rom? is it the same with winmo? i have a topaz and im currently using hero.
Thanks for any feedback!
So far the only answer i found was the notification light as a bug or a defect. line switching is still unsolved and updating.

1) It works as it is stated in the user's manual. How can you state that it is a bug or defect? Funny... Just because it works that way on Magic or G1 does not mean that it has to be the same on Hero.
2) You cannot as your phone will automatically switch between them when one another is not available. You phone will select 3G only if it is available around where you are. If it switches to Edge/GPRS/whatever, that means you don't have 3G signals around you.
3) There are 1.000 posts on the forum here regarding updating ROM, etc. Search is our best friend.

You can force HSDPA, but you do so at your own risk!
You need to download AnyCut from the Market and create new shortcut to the activity "Phone Info". From this short cut, you access a screen which gives lots of diagnostic info about the phones state and there is an option to "Set preferred network type". By default this is "WCDMA Preferred", but if you want to force to always use HSDPA you should select "WCDMA Only".
Note if you do this, your phone will never drop back to 2G, even if a 2G signal is available and a 3G one isn't.
I wouldn't advise playing around with any of the other options in this screen unless you know what you are doing!
Regards,
Dave

very interesting. because for my topaz i always set it to wcdma only. willing to give it a try. where can i download it? do i need a gmail account for this? cant find it any website where it can be downloaded.
Android software is downloadable via the Android Market application on your hero - any purchases are made by using a google checkout account which is set up like paypal so you don't need to enter your details all the time...

dropping internet n network connections continuosly?help

my hd2 gettinh dc from internet n o2 network after ebery few seconds..why?...had hard reset aswell but in vain...some help?..and internet icons on top bar changing from H to G to 3G continusly..plz help me...
The only suggestion I have after doing some searching for you, is , if you are using BSB tweak to enable Wireless N, some people have seen weird data issues with it, I myself have seen it as well ...
Please Don't double post ...
Suggestion, update the Title to something involving "Dropping Data Connection" might get noticed more ...
Suggestion 2, Post the ROM version of your phone, and Radio version, works best if you keep those in your Sig.
yeah im using bsb tweaks..so wots the way to resolve it?...uminstall or turn off all tweaks or what?..
anyother option or way guys?...
its really sux n annoying to getting dc again n again...
plz help asap...

Try just turning off all the Network tweaks in BSB, the Wireless N one is the one reported to cause the problem ...

Wow... I barely understood any of that...
BsB Tweaks WifI-N is problematic and does cause data problems. If you can, switch your router to B/G/N mode and just use WiFi-G (can't imagine you are doing anything on your HD2 that would require N speeds). If you can't switch your router, think about getting a second router and running it in tandem with your N router. You can also try the registry hacks (google it) to enable WiFi-N, but I believe that is what BsB is doing.
There's a reason HTC didn't enable WiFi-N and it's because it's unstable on some devices and a battery hog.
Also, update your radio to AT LEAST 2.07 (2.11/2.12 is probably recommended).

[Q]Wifi and 3G with (CyanogendMod6.1.3)GingerBread v01

Hi,
I have my X10 like 2 weeks and i just decide to flash it with a custom room.
But i have some probleme.
My wifi connection dont want to connect itself,i need to delete my network and readd to can connect.
And when i disable my 3G network with apndroid or with the widget power control and reenable it later like 5 min it dont work i need to restart my phone to have the 3g connection back.
Thanks for your help.
Sorry for my bad english,i am frensh
why do french ppl always apologize for their english.. don't get me wrong though, you have all the right to apologize for your english
Anyhoo, what baseband you got going on your x10?
To check, go to settings --> scroll all the way down to 'about the phone' --> then it should say Basebandversion *.*.**
thats the number we need..
because you're french, and its common you guys just like to translate everything, baseband will be named like: bande de base, or bande étroite, or something like that
its 2.1.54
please flash 2.1.58.
3g, gps, wifi very good.

There is probably a way to do it through Terminal Emulator.. but can't seem to find how..
(great help huh )
Thx for your help.
You have any idea for the wifi?
When i typ su kill-server nothing happen.
however i cant post on the rom thread i need more post
One more post, and you are allowed to post there.. so you want to talk about the weather? It's lovely ain't it?
Anyway, about the wifi (and the other problems), I recommend you switch to Cyanogen CM7.0 RC2 v009 Gingerbread 2.3.3. As long as don't care that you can't record HD video, this ROM is faster and more stable (when it comes to wifi/BT.. thats my opinion).
I had the same problem with wifi kept disconnecting. Haven't really had that issue anymore now im using cm7.
(don't forget to 'downgrade' your baseband by flashing the included .52 baseband)
Why not if i have time this week end,i will flash my phone to CM7.
But can you tell me if the batterie will drain faster or not?
Actually i need to charge my phone everyday
I abuse my phone when it comes to usage, but i manage with ease to make it 1 day, with normal usage, 2 days. But have to say, that i normally don't pay that much attention to battery drainage. I sleep every night, and so does my phone (usually in the charger )
oki i sleep every night too
I probably update to CM7
Thx for your help
what kind of wifi network? I used advanced wifi configurator
its my personnal network at home

[Q] Google maps 90miles out... mtk6577

Hi all,
I have two phones with the mtk6577 chipset both of them are htc one x clones, I'm using them in the uk on the three network
I use lattitude quite a bit but some some reason both the phones keep locating to the same place in wolverhampton 99miles away from my actual location, the only time this doesn't seem to happen is when im at home or at work,
Wifi is always switched on, and i have turned mock locations off in the developers option, what else can i try ??
GPS will change it but as soon as its turned off it goes straight back to the same location in wolverhampton
Anyone else had such problems with an mtk6577 phone ??

[Q] No connection to play store via wifi

Hey folks.
I´m new here and I hope you guys can help me. I just can´t find a solution to the folowing problem:
I can not get any connection to Play Store via Wifi. It also doesn´t connect when I try to login my phone with my google account. Google Voice recognition also can not be reached. Besides that the Internet works just fine in Chrome!
I am also getting nowhere when trying to upload something in DropBox... DB is not establishing any connection. Probably this has something to do with it.
Everithing is working just fine with "mobile data" (G3?)!
I have tried evering including deleting cash, deactivating & reactivating all the relevant google apps, deleting google account from phone etc... I suppose that the problem could be my wifi router, but I´m not sure and I don´t know how to fix it. (I´m using NETGEAR WGR614 v6)
I am using Samsung G. SIII, GT-I9300, CyanogenMod "cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-i9300.zip", Android 4.4.4. The flashing worked perfectly with "ROM Manager". But I remember heaving the same problems with stock ROM. That´s also the reason why I don´t wont to do a reset... Don´t think it´s going to change much.
Thanks in advance!
