Bugs in stock phone

I am assuming once you root the phone and push a custom ROM onto the phone, this will fix HTC's introduced bugs?
Bluetooth
SMS battery drain
Reverting apps versions
Stuff like this.

No, because the custom ROM is just the Sprint ROM with a few additions and modifications.

Ouch.
ok, anyone working on compiling a 2.0 kernal?

Although the bugs are not fixed, rooting allow one to use various workarounds that would not be possible without, and in fact for EACH of the issues you have listed:
Bluetooth: http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/23854?tstart=0
While I cannot personally vouge for this, I have seen many posts on Sprint and here that detail the workaround described in the post as effective.
SMS Battery Drain: I think this may have actually been the first big bug discovered, and also fixed without root! Unfortunately, the default messaging app is defective, so in the meantime it is recommended to use either chompSMS or Handcent SMS from the Market until an update is released.
See this post: http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/23043
Finally...
Reverting Apps: This is addressed on both forums, but a workaround only exists with root, and is similar in fashion to the bluetooth fix but for a different directory.

Hope this helps! I intend on posting a very detailed guide on every step of rooting, backing up, and working around most of the detailed problems in the very near future, stay tuned!

What I'd like is a kernel that will have this working as intended. But really, I am not afraid of the work arounds and the hands on work required, but if my wife had this phone with these problems, she would have chucked it out the window within days.

One more...
You left out the original bug (mentioned by briankwest, one of the first rooters), the TCP timestamp issue:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps
This could also be added to the MoDaCo init.rc so it is set at each boot (otherwise it will revert back to "1").

try battery calibration

This is common problem on the galaxy tabs. Dont worry just yet. I had the same problem on the stock rom but as soon as I flashed task650's rom the problem dissapeared. Try just using the tab a couple of charge cycles(charge all the way, then let die completly). There also some apps on the market that will reset battery stats but I think you might have to root to do that. If you havent already, I would try to root/install custom recovery, because this gives you many more ways to troubleshoot your problem.

Fused Location App and JB 4.2.1

Hi All,
For those that do not know anything about Fused Locations app, a small history:
I install the [ROM][4.2.1] Slim Bean - I9000 [RC2]
The problem was that it stuck in boot loop.
After many cleans, wipes, and whatever is there before installing AND factory resets the outcome was:
I used app quarantine, to disable the Fused Location App and it seems that the slim bean does NOT start if you disable an app that "locate your position through GPS or wifi to save battery"?????????!!!!!!!

I decide to check more 4.2.1 roms
Results :
Fireworm
RemICS JB 4.2
TsunamiX
Backed
AndroSlim
ALL with the same issue, you quarantine that app they are not working.
ALL CM 10.1
If there is a NON CM rom, please, suggest it and I ll try it.
I went back to Slim Bean 4.1.2 to realize that you can not use that rom because the keyboard is crushing and without a keyboard.
BUT, I had a keyboard.apk and I manage to run the rom.
PS
In the next couple of days, I ll try with back up versions of 4.2, 4.1 and the help from Titanium Backup, to use as much features of the 4.2 to the 4.1. I ll also can post the apps that I blocked with "app quarantine" and my phone is stable, fast, good battery life without any issues.
If you like to see all that please leave a comment

Is this a dev post?

I kind of hoped that I m not going to debate irrelevant questions, but, what kind of thread you think it is?
People come to dev post to install software to their device. If that software is monitoring them as the stock rom do, at my point of view it may be a reason NOT to download the "new shiny roms", (roms that belong in dev).
If there was something like it, where do you suppose to find it? FAQ?

you took my advice and tried other roms then thought it would be down to google :thumbup:

[Q] GPS-problem with mathkid's matrix kernel 9.0

Hi,
In know this doesn't belong here, but since I haven't posted yet, I'm not allowed to write in the corresponding thread.
I installed matr1x kernel 9.0 on my n4 yesterday and got massive problems with GPS. The GPS-location needs VERY long to settle if is working at all. I had the best conditions for GPS since i was walking outside in pretty open space with a clear blue sky....
Anyone got the same problems or any ideas what could be wrong, since i found nothing on this topic according to the matr1x kernels anywhere.
Okay. 9.0 is new, but someone must have noticed it if it is a general problem with the kernel.
the power-management is astonishing and I would gladly keep the kernel for that.
regards...

Although I have only used the kernel for a couple of hours I've found the GPS to be spot on and very quick. Some have said changing the location in your build.prop to your correct country helps?
System>build.prop

thanks. I'll give it a try if the problem reoccures. For now i just reflashed the kernel and everything works fine again. maybe TouchWake was the problem since that was the only thing i changed since flashing yesterday. I will try again and see if the gps-break reoccurres.

They're just showing the extended kernel info. If you have the st tweaks app, then your on dorimanx.

These roms also have location set to high accuracy by default. That's a huge drainer. Roms also need a bit of time to settle after you flash them before they start to perform more efficiently and finally dorimanx is not the most economic kernel on its default settings imho. Try bruce or simple kernel if your not into tweaking it.
