[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
AngelDeath, I installed the update and ran it in my house... Had a first time lock with anywhere from 6-9 satellites in about 54 seconds, so pretty good! (although these sort of things seem to vary a lot).

I will report back after doing some on-road usage, and see if I notice a difference.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
Thanks for trying it out, at least it confirms my thought that it can possibly be used universally as long as an android rom is using a gps.conf file. And please do, I know the stock inspire (At least the one I just got) has no issues with gps locking, so dont know how much need there is for this but I'm glad to have helped. I have been working on this for the past month since agps isnt implimented correctly on the hd2 and I am finding alternatives to make it work for the hd2 community.
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
Ok, on the way home from work today:

Lock in 22 seconds... Great lock stability the whole way home! No noticeable or annoying lag. Even though it's a clear day, I will still say it was performing a lot of days prior.

Don't want to jinx myself, but your alterations seemed to have really helped, AngelDeath!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roland_D:
@AngelDeath

1) what's the difference between your file and the FasterFix from the market?

2) If I download my area and then I move elsewhere what happens?
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
Roland,

All FasterFix does is change the gps.conf file to match your region (ex; USA or International country), its only about 5 lines using only the ntp pool (Generic), mine on the other hand is alot more, for instance as for countries I actually made a file for every country that had a viable gps time server (Not going to explain it here it would make the post too long, read the original), by using a local gps time server instead of a pool, your reducing the overload of the ntp.pool, your localizing it to your area and not the whole US, thus shortening the time for a response.

As for the US I made it in 6 regions, it would depend on where you move if you would have to download a new location. All this is answered in the first and second thread of the post. If you downloaded one of the gps.conf files and opened it up and compared it to FasterFix's conf file you'd see the difference.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ipisbored:
It could be ur case that is affecting the gps signal. I couldn't get a lock if i had my tpu case on, but once i took it off, instant lock!
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
Already discussed this, I do not use a case.

Also, Angeldeath's gpf.conf mod seems to have helped a lot! We'll see how the gps fares over the next couple weeks, and see if it reverts back to it's shoddy old self.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kizzmiazz:
Not promising any miracles but I have the Dev from team phoenix coming over to the Inspire soon. I'm getting him the inspire just to get him over here lol. But any way, the reason I'm bringing this up is because any one who knows the captivate you know the gps was the biggest problem. Well Adam was the one who made it so the captivates gps actually could function. So as hard as that was I'm pretty positive he will get the inspires gps working perfect ;).

Sending him the money tonight so he should have an inspire by next week and then a little time to work on rom and dive into the inspire and we should start seeing some new gps configs.

Keep an eye out for " Phoenix Evolution HD " on the dev's forum. Our something like that lol thats the name I'm shooting for but have not fully decided yet lol

And if you would like to see some of Team Phoenix's work on the captivate heres are some links :

http://www.phoenix-hq.com

I'm highly excited he is coming over to the Inspire to continue his work. I have worked on his team since he began development on the Captivate and should be pretty exciting to see what he comes up with on the Inspire.

Can somebody give me the file path for where the gps.conf file is supposed to be? I can't find it with root explorer.

Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, found it.

[HTC Inspire 4G] gflare:
That is some good news kizzmiazz! I'm looking forward to the possibility of a Phoenix ROM on this phone, having used it on the Captivate ;)

As for the GPS, thanks for the help AngelDeath. I'm not quite in the situation to be a guinea pig for the file changes at the moment (GPS works ok for me, though I'm sure I should get better performance), but I'll keep an eye on the progress you seem to be making already :cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
After installing his fix, I can basically guarantee it won't break your gps. And, if anything, it could very well make it better. I'm continuing to test. Today's a cloudy day here, so we'll see how it fares :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
im over all dissapointed with the gps on my phone. it locks, usually up to 8 satelites, if the body glove tpu case is NOT on my phone, i CAN get an accuracy of 3 or 4 meters (is that considered a good lock?) but usually its more like 10 meters.

if i put the TPU case on the phone, the lock goes to more like 15 to 20 meters, and take 3 or 4 times as long to lock.

navigation app takes like 5 minutes to lock on to my position. and my position often skips around when im driving, or freezes, then doesnt catch up until ive already passed my destination.

FYI- im dillis rom, i use gps status, faster fix, updated maps, re-downloaded locations. seems to be about as good as its going to get.

what exactly is an AUCCRUATE lock? how many meters?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bone9999:
Magnumforce, just came across this thread today and I am also having the same issue using the c:geo app on my stock inspire. GPS works perfectly normal for nav apps and such, however with c:geo it will only aquire a lock after opening the app the first time. If i exit C:geo then reopen it gps will usually not lock at all. The only solution that works 100% of the time is to perform a soft reset, c:geo will then aquire a lock within about 30 sec.

I figured it was an issue with c:geo but now i may have to try the suggestions in this thread since they seem to be solving the problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
As long as you make a backup, it wont break anything. I am going to be updating the scripts over the week, to add the three lines discovered. But worse case if it doesnt work, your backup conf file all is needed to be put back to bring your phone back to what it was before you added my gps.conf file.

Go ahead Take the plunge! :D

I am going out on a limb here but its probably safe to say any android phone this will work on, without breaking anything.

[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
Ok so I was one with the gps problems actually I got it fixed by flashing the stock radio using step 5 in the hack kit. My gps was still pretty spotty after but at least I could see some satellites, but today my tpu s-shaped case just came in and I was worried it was going to effect my gps but it doesn't seem to effect it. Actually I am getting a lock really consistently now, I am sure it doesn't have anyting to do with the case but I just thought it was worth mentioning.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roland_D:
I see...

Now I know I may sound a pain in the butt... but... would it be possible to make a simple app like faster fix with all your files inside so that the user is able to switch to the right one according to its location just tapping a couple of times on the screen?

I ask u this cause for example with my wife we travel quite a bit so when I change area it would be easier to fix the config file

[HTC Inspire 4G] AngelDeath:
Unfortunately I am not a programmer and I couldnt do that if I tried, what I have done is make all of them CWR files. I am making a CWR that will hopefully install all the apps and the gps.conf when the CWR is being installed, but I am not that good to create a gui app to choose the location and have the app install it. I really wish I was, cause thats a wonderful Idea.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gordec:
Jeez, thinking about ditching Captivate for Inspire mainly for reliable GPS, but after reading this thread sounds like many have GPS issues too. Wonder if this is as wide spread a problem as Captivate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Divinedark:
No... It's not. My captivate was horrid. Wouldn't track in the slightest. I was lucky to get a lock...

I get 7 sats within 5 seconds with my inspire after the location data has downloaded, and I can actually use MyTracks accurately. If some people are having issues, I think it'll be something that's handset specific, and probably something that can be solved with the help of some people in this community.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gflare:
The Inspire 4G has a perfectly reliable GPS, nothing like the Captivate (Yes, I sold my captivate to purchase the Inspire.

The GPS problems people are experiencing are being caused by the following:

Incorrect downgrade/S-off attempts (sometimes people don't even notice that an error occured while they went through the process)

Flashing ROMs without properly clearing data

Actually clearing too much / incorrect options before flashing a ROM

Incorrect ROM and Radio combinations (though stock radio works on almost all ROMs, it may not be the best performance combo)

Cell phone case is blocking or degrading GPS signal strength

In all but the strangest conditions, reflashing the stock radio restored working GPS to those having trouble.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dougmeister:
I have a Motorola Q9C on Sprint SERO. I got a Touch Pro 2. It has some version of the EnergyROM installed (it is used).

When I online chat with Sprint to activate the new phone, I give them the ESN and they tell me to type "##215132#". When I do that, it doesn't do anything, so I press "Talk". The call doesn't go through (not surprisingly) and the voice tells me that my "account could not be validated; please call customer services".

The CSR tells me that I should not see the last "#" and that it should automatically go into the service menu. We tried both rebooting and turning it off/taking the battery out/waiting a minute/turning it back on, etc.

The rep finally said "there may be technical problem in the phone".

I didn't (couldn't?) tell him that it was running Android.

Any help?

Thanks.

(Edit: I think I may need to remove the SIM card?)

(Edit: didn't help. Also changed "Network mode" to "CDMA only" instead of "Global". Didn't help.)

Nevermind. Figured it out by myself. Ran the "EnergyROM Provisioning" applet.

Hi Dougmeister - did you ever get it activated and the Internet working? Sold one and the guy took it to the sprint store and tells me even the Tech could not get the internet to work. Now he is sending the phone back.

Hello,

I successfully created an SD card that boots on the NC. I have a few problems that I don't know how to solve. I'll go over the steps I took and what happens.

1. burned the image from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922324

(3/15/11: Custom Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 (2 GB Image).3)

onto a 16gb class 6 sd card

2. copied the framework files posted in that thread to /system/framework/ by mounting the sd card in ubuntu

3. attempted to resize the last partition but was unsuccessful using EASUS, gparted, and windows partition manager. Each application would see the sd card partitions as separate drives and not as a whole drive

4. used the disk manager utility in ubuntu to delete the 4th partition and recreate the 4th partition as fat32 and named it 'sdcard'

5. booted the NC using the sd card

6. logged into google market

7. installed flash and youtube successfully

8. attempt to install other apps, but unsuccessful

At this point, things start to get strange. Google talk will log out and I will never be able to log back in. I spent a few hours playing around with settings and I did manage to install more apps from the market, but the error would persist. This is what I did to get the market to work again temporarily

9. unable to log into google talk or download anything from market

10. go to settings > manage apps > market > clear data/cache/everything

11. go to network settings and 'forget settings' for my network

12. power off NC and wait a few minutes (if I don't wait a few minutes, it actually doesn't fix the issue, very strange)

13. power on NC, set network settings

14. go to android market and try to download

at this point, I'll be able to download 1 or 2 apps, and then the rest of the apps will just say download unsuccessful. I'll also get logged out of google talk at this point and unable to log back in no matter what I try.

Can anyone suggest anything I can try? should I try installing android into eMMC? or try a different android install?

I also have issues with the browser. it FC immediately as I open it. I installed a different browser.apk provided in the thread I linked, but the issue returns each time I reboot the NC

any help would be appreciated.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dadd:
Lots of us are trying to get our phones back to Stock Firmware so KIES can update to 2.2.1 & at some point 2.3. In my case i9000T Latin America (TTT) model which seems to be very popular on the various US sites selling unlocked i9000 phones (New Egg & Expansys-us)

Many of us have used Euro 2.2 or 2.2.1 Firmware without issue using ODIN 1.3.

What happened in the process of applying the Euro firmware that keeps KIES from updating once you've rolled back to a stock firmware. In my case i9000TUBJH1 which is android 2.1 (ECLAIR.UBJI1) .

I've tried everything from changing the Product Code from KOR, TTT, PCW and any other one that might trigger KIES (1.5 or 2.0) in allowing the update.

I have 2 of these phones. One is untouched stock firmware. It was i9000TUBJG7 and after KIES update it's now (i9000TUBJP9 with a TTT Product Code). again, just trying to get my other phone back to stock and then update to 2.2.1 so both phones are the same.

Which file is KIES looking at to allow the update? CSC?

I'm not sure why the i9000T firmware is not readily available on samfirmware.

Thanks - many of us are just trying to learn the basics and spent hours reading these forums.

also once you have clockwork on you can also flash one of docs roms via that.

or is it that you are trying to get a stock rom via kies. that is not on samsungfirmwares.com ?

Ok here is my situation. The NC is for my wife but I want to play around with it. I am leaving the stock ROM untouched (no rooting). I have Nookie Froyo on a microSD and it boots just fine. I have done easyADB but when I do adb devices it comes back with my serial number being 11223344556677. I have not tried anything further than this because it was late and I figured that with it not showing my correct serial number it would not work.

What should I do? I am on Vista 32. The NC shows as Android Composite ADB Interface in device manager. Thanks for the help, if there is any other info needed let me know.

EDIT...Also, this is my first Android device, so this whole thing is new to me. So things that may seem like a given I have no clue about. I am usually very good with this sort of thing and following directions. I have modded xboxes and stuff, but this is a whole new beast to me.

If that is the case, why would it be touted that you can boot froyo off an sd without having to root? What would be the point. Without ADB you cant get marketplace or apps or anything.....

If I put a smaller 2Gb sd card in it is fine and goes through to recovery quickly.
