Lifehacker - Slow GPS - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have seen dozens of threads complaining about this phone's GPS, so I figured I would share this Lifehacker article. Be sure to read the comments too.

Site Ideas

So, I have taken a Web Design course and just invested in Dreamweaver and Photoshop (both CS5.5). I am looking to make a site similar to my guides. Kind of an Incredible 2 reference site. I was wondering what things you guys would like to see in this type of site. Thanks.
All your guides you made, and a forum like setup for anyone who doesn't understand them completely as well as other walkthroughs and general android news. Also see about making it tapatalk compatible.
That would a lot of help, to noobs and a directoryof dinc2 info.

Well I have no idea about tapatalk and forums, so I would definitely need some help with that.

I actually think there are enough Dinc2 forums out there. I'd personally be more interested in a nice, neat maintained list of ROMs, tutorials, and resources. Info tends to get buried in forums, especially for a noob.

Guys, I am working on the site, but I need help with a name. I originally came up with "HTC Resources" but then I might get into copyright issues, and make it seem like I am affiliated with HTC. Any ideas for good names?
Vivowmania.
Hah I dunno I suck at stuff like that.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
Well, the site barely has anything done so far, because I've scrapped stuff several times, but I like where it's going now. The name I have decided on is:
quietly rooted: make the most out of your HTC phone
Man I had the same idea as for making a reference site for the phone. Would you mind if I linked you're guides in it? You wrote up some good stuff that's helpful.
Sure. BTW, I'm done working for the weekend, as I'm having some issues, and I need to talk to someone about it, which I'll do Monday or Tuesday.

[IDEA] See who quoted you

There should be a page for seeing posts that quoted you. Sometimes, the dev threads are very active, and you may have to read through pages, possibly missing someone who responded to your query.
For extra noob friendliness, I think it should be on your notification bar by default, like notifications and PM's. i.e. "You have new replies!"
Not a bad idea..props to the thought :thumbup:

May I add...not jus quotes but also post links are also accounted for...so the knowledge transfer elements benefit the community as a whole...and it'll be handy for researching topics...

Already discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965991
For what it's worth, it's been discussed in the past, but it would likely place a large load on the server, and as such, it probably won't be implemented.

I would never, ever suggest having a popup
Oh well, too bad I guess. It seems like it doesn't have to be inefficient, but I guess they know something about the forum structure I don't.

Im reporting you for consistently making worthless threads. This is called trolling and is against the rules.
Not only do you post worthless topics but you also post things that are not safe to flash in these forums. You have done this in the past and I will let the moderators deal with you
If you do not understand what is going on or do not understand english DO NOT POST THINGS THAT CAN DAMAGE OTHERS PHONES OR PROPERTY
I mean why are you posting stuff like this?
You were posting roms for other phones in here a couple weeks ago! Get out

What are you talking about? This has been tried an tested on the T-mobile Note 2. Is it really necessary for every single one of your posts to be negative? It seems to me that you have some real life self esteem issues and come online to be billy bad ass to make up for it.
What im talkimg about is that you need to see his post history. And youre only saying that because I hit the button on you too...for spamming private message boxes....remember?
The fact of the matter is not that I made a negative post. Its that this is a forum for development of software for mobile devices and he repeatwdly posts either nonsensical or meaningless threads.
But YOU always show up trying to save someone. VIIRUS, and now this guy.Why dont you just check his threads and every single person says the same thing.
But it seems you suffer from the same affliction as he. You are incapable of investigating anything before you go tap tap tapping on that keyboard.
Do I need to post the links for you?
You guys just dont want to hear the truth because you know ill get around to one of you later on and it scares you.
You need to focus more on the galaxy note 2 in these forums, and less on spamming mailboxes, trying to save people on these forums, and way way less on psychology.
Or if things like 'feelings' and other people 'emotions' are really of interest to you there are certainly forums that you can register to be a part of that community. Here are some I found for you
www.depressionforums.org/forums/.../ ...
www.pmscentral.com/forum
What you are missing is that this is not the post whatever you want forum. Do you really want to sift through crap like that when you come to xda? I mean he posts in the development forums sometimes....ugh im done trying to explain anything to you. Check those links out

Spamming private messages? You'll get around to me too? You are a nutcase. You pm'd me. You are like that whiny little **** that begged the teacher to be a hall monitor. You aren't a mod and you don't have to post your dumbass comments to report a thread. And yes, I know. You are going to report this post. Good for you buddy.

No my friend as a matter of fact you are the troll. You "troll" this forum looking for people who make stupid posts and try to call them out. Instead of trying to monitor what everyone is doing why don't you just let the idiotic posts bury themselves. This is what we have been doing for years here on XDA. A "forum vigilante" such as yourself isn't going to change things. So take a moment, relax, and move on

Samsung GS3 fault is caused by SanDisk memory cards

I thought this article was kinda important to post for people with sd card problems such as continously remounting/unmounting, changing file names, and so forth. http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/samsung-galaxy-s3-fault-is-caused-by-sandisk-memory-cards-50010684/
I think this has been posted before but lost between the folds of time.
I searched, it was other xda forums, but couldn't find it in gs3 forums.

Ok, not trying to argue about "oh this is a duplicate thread", but I couldve sworn I saw this a couple months ago here and thats the only reason I know about it.
Its in the accessories forum, which we share with other s3's
Also on one of kennyglass123 thread

4.3

Hello XDA.
I Just wanted to start this thread for 4.3 info. I have looked online but info is vague. So maybe the community here can drop solid links or info for the big update. I did find an article that says the Note 2 and S3 are skipping 4.2. But no real time line. So does anyone else here know anything more? Sad this is a great phone...still sort of new...but has yet to get a real update.
Also. Search function on phone app kinda stinks. I did search for this topic first. Got every topic that even mentions 4.3 or t mobile note 2. Sorry if it is already posted here.
When a New XDA app update is made...here is an idea...a detailed search function. :thumbup:
