Update to GPS (Firmware)
- Thread starter rsarno
- Start date
I did a full app backup with Titanium and set max events to 500. I'll try changing the build.props back. Thanks.

Well, you don't actually have to pay for wifi traffic. You're phone downloads data using the data connection(3g for example), and then sends it to whatever device you're tethering with. Sending the data using wifi or bluetooth doesn't make a difference in how much data you're phone downloads using the data connection.
Most carriers charge extra for wifi tethering. The amount of data used is irrelevant. They do not charge for BT tethering. I don't want to root my phone and alter its radio just so I can use wifi tethering against my carriers will, so I use BT.
Hence why there are so many wifi tether apps on the market.

And unless you pay, the carrier will notice you're trying a workaround and just send you to the carrier's webpage asking you to pay for the "service". Some phones have it easier than others I guess. It is a pain to get wifi tethering working on my phone without paying twice for the same data connection.
Just updated mine. My GPS was decent prior the update able to get locks on 4-6 sats while driving, now it takes foreverrrr to get a lock and can't get a lock indoors anymore.
Is there a way to revert?

I have it updated, and kept it rooted thanks to voodoo.
After two cold boots, gps improved somewhat. Before i got no lock inside or outside, now i get lock if i face the window inside. No luck inside home, while my Samsung 10.1 locks instantly wherever (also WiFi off).
WI-fi is the same, still weak, compared to all my other devices, n or g, you cant tell just by browsing though.

My gps doesnt work at all on any program or test. It didnt work before or after the update.

If it has never worked, it's never going to, it is faulty hardware. I would get it replaced.
I am in the same boat you are. I have till Monday to have best buy do something about it in their grace period.

My GPS works after this update.
Before with wi-fi off, I would see 1 satellite, and not get any fix, after 5 minutes.
Now with wi-fi off, I see 10 satellites and get a fix with 7 or 8, after 30 seconds.
I dare say my TP is now perfect, with no issues.

Tethering GPS data doesn't seem like something the carrier has anything to do with.
My carrier doesn't charge for tethering of any kind, so I can't check.

Whatever they did, its working for a large number of prime owners. Why complain about them trying to fix it despite the design flaw? I understand being upset about the problem. I don't understand being upset about them trying to resolve it...1we have fortnight like 3-4 updates n less than a month. less than a month we got toot n overclock n some themes n Linux. People can't Say Asus is not trying to remedy things. Developement for Prime is moving right along pretty well for not having unlocking tool yet for bootloader.1I also lost root after the ota and didnt have it voodooed. I guess I'll try to reroot tomorrow. Hopefully someone figures it out if we lost it. For one of my apps its saying that su has granted root access, however the app is saying it was denied. So idk what to do yet.1I still receive 0 Sat's with this update. This is my second one that saw absolutely nothing at all. But seeing that other people are able to see some sats is what concerns me. I will look at my serial # to see which batch I have. I contacted BestBuy and they said they would send one to me or the nearest store and I could then return mine, but they have none in stock and my only option is to return it and they would give me $25 gift card for my "incovience". So I am waiting for them to show "in stock" online so I can try out a 3rd one out. I really like the TFP, but I don't like pauing for stuff that doesn't work. I wouldn't mind it if I saw at least one Sat but doesn't lock, but like I said I see 0 sat's 24/7.
