Would someone mind firing up the lbs test app and posting the default GPS settings from the Fusion Rom? I Just finish putting the final touches on a custom rom and it would be nice to use the setting that worked so well for me in the bionix rom.

It's funny because in the Fusion thread they said they changed it to the supl.google.com settings but as you can see (and I noticed) it is not. Maybe they forgot about that or it resets upon installation? I dunno
But it should be:
supl.google.com
port: 7276
MS Based

how's your GPS with those settings?
Thats interesting. Well then it would appear that i don't have to do anything.
Thanks just the same!

I remember doing this in the past, just an fyi:
With the above settings I posted I was getting appox 35 ft accuracy. With the google settings it is locking in around 15 ft.

Whats MS Based mean?

MS Based is the most common mode of Assisted GPS (aGPS). Setting the mode to MS Based, as opposed to the Vibrant's default of Standalone, essentially enables aGPS. This shortens the time to first fix (satellite lock).
In MS Based mode, the bootstrap almanac and ephemeris data needed to decipher the first fix are downloaded from the cell-based data network quickly instead of downloaded from satellites slowly as in Standalone mode. So this initialization phase in much accelerated. The actual calculation of the lat-lon is done on the phone, using satellite signals.
(There is another mode of aGPS called MS Assisted, which is really not relevant for modern smartphones. In this mode, a dumb phone has a basic satellite receiver but poor processing power, so it forwards everything to a land-based server to calculate the fix.)
Note that in the screenshots above, since the overall setting is Standalone rather than MS Based, all the SUPL details -- which specify where to get the aGPS data -- are superfluous. The SUPL server is not used in Standalone mode.

Arguably the most impacting variable for battery life on your phone is usage of the radio (wifi, 3g, 2g, etc). This is assuming a properly functioning phone where a particular bugged application is disallowing the phone to sleep (as the Calendar application in the stock 2.1 ROM does). What a lot of people do not know is that wifi battery consumption can be substantially effected by your router configuration.
So here it is:
Make sure WMM (WiFi Multimedia) is enabled on your wifi router.
Tomato WMM Documentation
DD-WRT WMM Documentation
Part the WMM spec is designed to save power on devices such as our phones. All the 3rd party firmware supports it (dd-wrt, Tomato, etc) and many of the more recent routers do out of the box. Chances are you'll find the option to enable it in the QoS section of your router's configuration interface.
Here's a screenshot of my battery usage after 15 hours today, with 58% charge remaining.

}
So check your router configuration (and/or documentation) to make sure this is on and enjoy much better battery life while on wifi.
Thanks for the tip. Using Tomato firmware on a Linksys router and the WMM extensions were disabled (out of box).
BTW, what app are you using to show the battery/power?
I see great battery life as well and my wifi stays on all the time at home
Checked router info and mine was already enabled so that must be why LOL
thanks for the hint
Hmm - mine says 'auto' - does that mean on a device-by-device basis? I'm running Tomato 1.27. I changed it to 'enable', but not sure whether it was in force before or not.

I'm using Battery Indicator Pro -- http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.darshancomputing.BatteryIndicatorPro
I used pmf's services.jar mods to completely hide the stock battery indicator and use this app as a replacement.

Yea. Did some googling and found a way to edit wimax through that ##3284# code. But the 4g seems to sleep faster than before? Can anyone tell me how to do this effectively? I use my epic for my home network and its a pain. Just want it to stay on like the wifi sleep policy. Btw i tried setting it to 300 100 and 60. Anyone know what that number means in terms of time?
Thnxnadvnc!

Those are idle times, in seconds, I believe. Meaning... when the device is not actively using 4g, it will time out (sleep) after so many seconds. I think 10 seconds is the default before the 4g sleeps.. Increasing that number should prevent your device from sleeping for a longer period of time.
I did some googling, according to this page, the number is in minutes.
http://www.groovypost.com/howto/mobile/prevent-phone-4g-wireless-connection-sleeping/
I have not tried this myself to see if it helps, need to get back home first where I have 4G coverage.
Anyone else have any luck with this setting?
--------------------
Edit: It looks like the parameter is in seconds according to this post on the EVO forum, which makes more sense
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8266721&postcount=79
Yea its actually working for me. If theres nothing using bandwidth 4g will shut off. But if I have pda running 4g will stay on even when the phone sleeps. before it would shut off after a few minutes into sleep mode. Works like a charm. if you dont mind the sprint rep questioning as to why you want that number lol.

You'll access the data programming area on your phone by entering ##3282# on your phone number pad. The OP mistakenly typed in ##3284#.
You'll need your MSL to explore or change the settings. If you google, you can find ways to get that MSL number without calling Sprint.. You'll just enter some commands in a terminal app.... I'm not sure where I found it.. but it's out there.
I like Tasker to specifically activate GPS only when I use maps, and turn it off when i'm done with it. I'm on a big AOSP kick - and wanted to know if anyone figured out why Tasker isn't working on AOSP roms - or I guess at least MIUI.
Let me know

Curious to know about this as well. Just started running SalvageMod last week.
Tasker isn't compatible with gingerbread/aosp 2.3.3 I believe, that may be the problem. Some report it works some say it doesn't idk.

Your Gps already does that. I leave mine on all the time and the only time it comes on is when using maps, navigation, or other services that use location.

just a heads up but the gps doesn't use battery even if you have it enabled. it only uses battery when an app initializes it so in other words when you go into maps it turns on the gps and when you leave it turns it off. the setting in the settings menu only initializes the gps and allows apps to access it. you can leave it on with little to no battery use.
atleast thats how miui works.
p.s. I got this info from the miui developers on miui-dev.com its in one of the threads over there

What he said. Toggling gps is pointless and may even drain more juice as "turning on"may cause an initial tracking drain/update
Swyped from my pants, I'll let you figure out how.

Time Tracker for Android
I had pretty cool app for WM6.
Here is source code for Visual Studio 2008:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1228109/TimeControl.rar
Writen by covr from 4pda.ru
He has not much time.
Can you port it to Android?
His description:
Wrote program that keeps track of time spent by pressing a single button - Start / Stop.
The task's name, then it will remain in the standard calendar PocketOutlook with the category "Completed tasks".
Duration of the task is reflected in the calendar, and equal to the period between pressing the "Start" and "Stop".
The program remembers the time you press the "Start", so you can safely close and even soft-reset to make devices. The next time you start the program automatically remembers the last start time. The program is free.
How about an app that intercepts the GPS data being passed through to another app and replaces it with pre-configured data.

There are a growing number of apps that use your GPS to work out whether or not you can use their service. ITV Player for example doesn't work outside the UK, based on your last known/current GPS location.
I know there are a number of apps that can spoof your location, these require "Allow Mock Location" to be enabled and again some apps do not work if this is enabled.

Stir until well combined, and bake at 325 for 45 minutes.
In other words, a fully customizable tracking app:
- Ratings (0-n rating or this-vs-that, # of steps defined by user)
- Values (e.g. weight, blood pressure, miles run, hours slept)
- Check boxes (e.g. took medication, did task X)
- Yes/No variant (must record some response)
- Note field(s)
- CSV output for Excel, et al.
- Graphs optional.
I'm working on my first app using the Maps API, and I can't get my app to show an actual map. All it shows me is the map fragment with the in/out buttons, but no map inside. When I run my app during testing, it gives me the error shown:

I have followed the guide for setting up the API console and getting a key, and I am using the SHA1 returned to me by using keytool on the keystore generated by eclipse for my project.
Does anybody know what's going on here, and why I can't display a map?

Have you checked your Google API Console to make sure the Maps services you're trying to use have been turned on? I had similar issues and it turned out that, though I had the API key generated, the service was still switched off. Just something to check if you haven't already...
