[Completed] Better GPS positioning - XDA Assist

I'm not really sure where to post this question as its not a phone specific question.
I'm working for a company which works with providing GPS positioning for sports. We generally use dedicated devices like Queclink's GL300 ( www queclink com/GL300). But we are currently looking into making an Android app to possibly replace these devices. We've made an app which performs pretty well except for the positioning which can be very "jumpy" and not as steady and accurate as the dedicated devices. And the positions vary a lot between devices.
So the question is, can the position of an android phone be improved somehow if we go down on a lower level than what a normal android app can do? Or can anyone recommend a specific phone which has a better GPS chipset than the rest? Anything that can lead to more accurate positioning and less scattering of the positions?

[Completed] NEC Terrain - Slightly Defective Device?

I bought my NEC Terrain from Arad Systems on Amazon as a network unlocked device in "Used - Like New" condition. However, I've been noticing some issues since my purchase. First of all, my battery life is trash. 4 hours at most from this device - even with the screen off. I tried doing a wakelock detection but it didn't help much. Also, WiFi seems to be buggy. It will randomly disconnect from the network sometimes, and other times it just won't be able to connect to a specified WiFi network at all. Rebooting seems to temporarily fix the problem.
Can anyone give me some insight on how to solve any of these issues? Perhaps I just bought a defective device?
EDIT: Forgot to mention, but also I've noticed that sometimes my screen will "flicker" (the brightness will rapidly go slightly lower and reset to normal on its own) if I do things like scroll on a webpage or view videos.

Hi there,
I'm sorry but I can't find anything related to your question/device except this rooting thread: [Q] Unlocking of NEC Terrain SIM/Root
Please post that in the forum bellow for more answers from the experts (you are already Senior Member and I suppose you know how things works, right?):
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck
Will move thread to Q&A. Wasn't clear on the differeence between "assist" and "q&a/troubleshooting", so I just put it here.

[Completed] Evo Design NEEDS voice recognition

I have an HTC Evo Design currently running a custom rom based on Android 4.0.3. I like the rom very much the issue is that for some reason it is completely lacking in voice recognition. This baffles me due to the fact that the Evo 3D I had previous to this phone (model from about 1 year before the Design came out) did have voice recognition. So... i really need to implement whatever solution is most sensible & practical to give this Evo Design voice recognition capability... IF that is possible. I'm asking what is the issue in terms of either hardware or OS limitations and/or compatibility that are effectively keeping me from having speech recognizer with my current phone configuration?
Btw in the interest of full disclosure I've already asked what is essentially this question here: h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/evo-design-looking-fast-rom-speech-t3211198 On the one hand I understand that being the asker of the question puts me in a sort of beggars can't be choosers category & so I do have some humility about this. On the other hand I can't help but think someone out there has more/better info in regards to what is the crux of voice issue and what can be done to solve it.
Thanks!

[Completed] Assistance with blocking unknown calls, SMS & mms

I am one who is currently and desperately trying to block these unprovoked calls and messages from unknown and not from my contacts. One can says simply that I should go to the play store and download an app or two. My issue is that this solution, even with supposedly the best apps I got from there, they do not work all the time. I'm thinking that there but more of a professional approach to this issue which so much of us have and are experiencing. From my minimal knowledge of handling and managing a rooted phone, I do believe that many more options are opened for this issue. But the only things which I can think of as to why that would be are that the stock rom was not built as stable as a custom rom where it's built a lot better, with many more features too. I know a little of exposed and have used a rom with but never known if it has modules for this. Therefore, I turn to the experts here at XDA to please let me know how the experts would handle my situation so that I can follow their lead. Thank you very much and happy holidays.

[Completed] Cross Reference of all Android Cell Phone Specs

I am looking for a cross reference that lists the specifications for all recent Android cell phones.
For example I would like to find all Android cells phones that offer dual band wifi (802.11.ac + b/g/n) and then be able to compare additional specs from there.
I've seen a number of sites that ask you to select this phone and that but I'm looking for something more high level across multiple vendors.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[Completed] Android SensorManager

Hey fellow Androiders
I hope you don't mind me reaching out to this forum, with a question.
We are hoping to get some advice from someone who has experience with Android SensorManager. Currently, we are in the process of Beta testing our app and find that we get vastly different readings from device sensors depending on the manufacturer and type device type.
Is there a way or a function that would normalizes the data? so that it appears to be the the same or similar on all devices.
Thank you in advance
Andrew
