As you can see from the screenshot above it receives informations from satellites numbered with high numbers like 77, 86, 80 and so on that are not reached (on the same position) by another android phone that supports only the gps system (nexus s)
What kind of gps chip is this tablet making use? Could it be the same broadcom that powers the galaxy note?

The GTPlus does have a stronger GPS, it pulls down 18 satellites while my Bionic only pulls down 10. It's hard to say if those extra ones are being run by the Russians though. I wouldn't put it past them being they have been sending subs to our Gulf of Mexico and Bombers over Alaska lately....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Samsung is not American company and btw I phone 4s has glonass too
Btw I'm pretty confident those additional satellites (and the very good gps performances) are due to the additional glonass network

Hi Guys,
I would love to get some feedback & beta testers for our newest Android app, Glove. We are specifically looking for testers in the Bay Area (San Francisco, San Jose etc...) and Israel.
Version 0.8 (beta)
Title: Glove – Find the best network coverage
Languages: Currently only in English
OS: Android 2.3.3+
Description:
Glove runs for 3 days and based on your phone habits, tells you which carrier is best for you. After 3 days of running, the app easily lets you see which mobile carrier will provide you with the best service. The app also gives you the ability to contact the carrier it has chosen.
Wireless carriers all have different levels of coverage within their networks. Glove does all the work of figuring out which carrier will give you the best wireless service and then gives you a recommendation.
Features:
NO ADS
Runs silently in the background of your phone for 3 days
High level of accuracy in finding best performing mobile carrier for you
Gives you options on how to contact your best carrier so you can make the switch
User friendly UX
Does not disturb during calls
Compact size.
Low memory consumption.
More to come…
If you have any question, suggestions, bugs please write it in this thread.
To become a beta tester, all you need to do is join our testfairy page (Links below). Would love feedback on the app usability, performance, features, etc.
New feature requests are also welcome.

Wifi issues / problems - Honor H60-L12 Are they fixed yet with Lollipop? ROM?

I am about to buy this phone but my research shows this phone as MAJOR wifi issues. I have seen quite a few threads on XDA showing users experience slowdown when also using Bluetooth and wifi.
Has this issue been fixed yet with ANY rom update? or is it a chipset issue and will never be fixed?

I own mine for a year already and have never encountered any kind of wifi issues or slowdowns. In fact, I've been amazed with the signal strength over all places in my house. ****, the wifi even works in the attic with the router in the basement (the building's got 2 floors between these). When it comes to speed, I can't really tell as I've only got 10 Mbps download speed at my provider and the phone successfully uses it all.

Same for me, no problems whatsoever

That being said, I just tried "benchmarking" the wifi signal and having the phone centimeters next to the router it would only go up to 38 Mbps while on a Jiayu S3 it was around 110 Mbps in the same place. When I came back to my room on the first floor, it would read anywhere between 5 and 15 Mbps. Covering the top part of the device actually made it lose almost all of the signal and the speed would stay at 1 Mbps. See the images for further info:
Note: I haven't tested it on lollipop yet so can't say if it's been fixed.

How to change band radio

Hi everyone,
my used xperia xz have signal/network issue: when 4G is on and i receive a call the signal is so low that i have to move around or turn off lte to have a better experience; data signal is so low and laggy, sometime havent signal indoor etc... I bought a used device, originally come with UK firmware and this specs:
Android 8.0
Phone Software Version: 1302-9157_41.3.A.2.171
Global-LTE3A
Generic-41.3.a.2.171
S1 Boot version: 1299-4832 S1_BOOT_MSM8996_LA2.0_O_204
BASEBAND: 8996-8996.gwn.prodQ-00070-40
Customization version: 1305-7307R8E
After a guide of Kuarinfou to flash a firmware i flashed an italian firmware (cause i live in italy and i thinked to could solve it flashing an italian fw) but the signal/network issues are still there. I checked the service menu and I notice that:
- in the network preference's list there isnt the option "LTE/UMTS/GSM" but only LTE/UMTS or LTE/CDMA or LTE only or CDMA only and others combinations
- in the "select band radio" (the first option after clicking the three dots at the top) there are only 3 option: Automatic - America - Japan. NOT Europe!!!!
So I suppose this could be the reason of the issue. I suppose there is a network "limitation" about frequencies.
My questions are:
1) Could be that the reason of the issue?
2) Is there a way to change the band radio?
3) Is there a way to set on europe band and disable US or other bands?
I have read the post about how to modify lte carrier aggregation, could be the solution?
I will attach a screenshot for more info.
Hope in your experience and kindness.
Anyway, thanks you for the attention

Unlocking LTE Bands 4 and 17 on M2 aqua D2403?

Yes, the title sums up what I'm curious about.
Turns out I got an Xperia M2 Aqua with a broken display as a hand-me-down from a friend. I fixed it and it's working great! (check the pics if you'd like).

It's alive!
It works and looks great!
... except for the lack of proper LTE bands for my carrier, specifically bands 4 and 17. So yeah, it's currently stuck on 3G/HSPA, which is fine for chatting and checking email, but can be a bother for more intensive tasks.
I know there's another model of the M2 aqua which properly supports such bands: the D2406. Would cross-flashing the modem/baseband from that model do anything?
I actually thought about doing a motherboard swap but I would have to dumpster-dive the local phone repair market to get a motherboard from that specific model (or buy one online), and I can no longer justify the cost, time and effort haha.
I remember reading some LTE band unlocking tutorials for qcomm phones which used the USB diagnostics mode and QXDM or QPST for altering raw values. It seems very risky, that's why I'd rather ask if someone here has had a positive experience in this area, and if so, I'd ask for guidance or advice on the matter.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
