[Thunderbolt General] shock2sys:
i was having GPS issues with the last two bamf kernels. google maps seemed to lock onto my location after a few seconds or a minute, but other apps that tried to use the GPS would never lock on. i noticed when you go into google mapls, the GPS icon/animation appears on the status bar.

the GPS icon would never appear for other apps that tried to use GPS when using the bamf kernels.

with the stock TB kernel, all is well.
[Thunderbolt General] Joanni:
Ok, gps is definitely tied in to WiFi. Without WiFi on its 3400m away and with it on is within 20-50m. That only happened with the ziggy fix so maybe if anyone could show me the original settings for the stock gps server file I could change back and forth and test what the problem is.
[Thunderbolt General] Joanni:
So I rewrote the gps.conf back to the original north-america setting and that fixed the problem. Any clue why ziggys rewrite of a word in that setting would mess it up so much? And how is it ppl are supposedly getting improvements with that, like what exactly?
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
I don't know what the rhyme or reason would be for this gps issue, because it's so random, there is no pattern to this mess:

1. Got the phone, gps worked great.

2. Rooted phone, still worked great.

3. Flashed first rom, Virus to be exact, still worked great.

4. Several days later, with no rhyme or reason, I noticed that Cardio Trainer had not picked up location

5. Factory reset, problem still persisted, could not lock on to any birds, confirmed with gps test app.

6. Flashed CWR of stock rom post root, still not working.

7. Flashed RUU stock from fastboot, working again perfectly.

8. Have flashed 2 non stock roms since, BAMF 1.3.1 and first TeslaCoil (current) and gps still working perfectly

I can't think of what could have possibly caused this, but now that gps has been stable for about one week and I haven't been using wifi, over the weekend I'm going to toggle between wifi and 3g and see if it causes any issues.
[Thunderbolt General] DRGilroy:
I'll be trying the new Das BAMF 1.4 to see how it behaves. Wish me luck!
[Thunderbolt General] GutterIsATool:
Joanni, I'm having the exact same issue that you've been having. With Google services on, I get the wide area. If I turn it off, I get nothing. The only way I get a lock is with WiFi on. I'm currently running Virus ROM.

I know enough to be dangerous when it comes to digging into my phone. I generally just follow well polished instructions. How would one go about trying your fix?
[Thunderbolt General] DRGilroy:
Joanni just edited the gps.conf file to read NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

That was the original setting. It has been said that changing the setting to us.pool.ntp.org has fixed peoples GPS locking issues but in my testing I found no benefit either way. What I have found, is that turning WiFi on will enable the GPS to have better accuracy in finding your location (20 meters to 50 meters in my case). This is exactly what the popup says, the first time you launch Google Maps.

If you wanted to check what your gps.conf file has set as the server, you can use Root Explorer and browse to /etc/gps.conf

There is also an app in the Market called FasterFix that will change the server to north-america.pool.ntp.org for you.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyf:
I have installed and reinstalled the samsung windows drivers about four times.

My phone has not yet been activated and I'm not sure I'm going to attach it to service for the foreseeable future instead of possibly using it as an ipod touch with a keyboard.

I have connected the phone to my laptop one time. I feel asleep with the phone searching for drivers (the drivers had already been installed but the status bar message said it was searching anyway) and when I woke up it seemed fully connected. I was able to cwm3 root the phone but bricked it I think by putting an ext4 filesystem on without moving immediately to an ext4 rom.

I've restored it to stock and through wifi updated it over the air to ec05

Ever since then I have never been able to connect using any of the usb ports, trying two different usb cables, the oem and a generic micro-usb cable and using either windows vista or ubuntu on this computer.

Clockworkmod reports that the phone is not connected and I am not able to see the phone as a hard drive when I set it to mass transfer mode.

In download mode, odin is able to communicate with the phone reliably.

I've repeatedly tried all ##8778# settings and I've set debugging mode off and on. Device manager shows that the phone is connected to port COM7.

Is it possible that the activation program is preventing the USB connection? I would think not because the activation status has not changed since the one time it did connect, but I'm at a total loss for any explanation.

My next step is to try another computer but I don't have one handy.

Is it possible to root a phone only through odin, or to put a file onto the sd card that can root without the use of the computer?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budderocks:
This thread had a pre-rooted EC05 that you can flash through Odin

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1021305
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyf:
Thanks. I'm on ec05 now, so I'm OK with that. I'd like to root either with or without resolving the usb connection issue.

Is that possible at all?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koadic:
While it isn't JUST a root that you are doing, as stated by budderocks, you can flash the pre-rooted EC05 tar file through Odin, although it will require you to reinstall any apps you currently have. This will start you out with either a stock(ish) setup, with root already included (not sure about Clockwork though), or you can use the one modified for the ext4 filesystem with CWM 3.0.0.6 included which will convert it to ext4 the first time you boot into recovery.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjobanion:
I have been through this myself and came short of beating my head against a wall before reading that it "may" be a cable issue.

Well, after tyring everything else, (because it couldn't be something as simple as changing to a different cable, right??!!:eek:) I pulled out an old cable from my Blackberry days and BAM - my laptop searched for and loaded the needed drivers and sees my phone everytime I plug it in now. I have also used a cable from a friends phone (not a Blackberry) and my laptop still sees the phone so I'm not advocating for Blackberry cables specifically.

Bottom line is - the Samsung cable is a piece of crap. It may work for a day or a month, but it will soon (for 98% of Epic owners) become nothing more than a charging cable before long.

Try using a different cable (not a Samsung model :D ) and see if that works. If so, then ODIN/one-clicks become your best friend(s)!!

Hope this helps!

[XPERIA X8 General] mati96PL:
I think it's possible... You would need phone with windows mobile and installed Linux or Widows 95 emulator... But I'm not sure
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
It is posible but if your phone brike , you will not be able to fix it without xrecovery or a pc.

Anyway, there are many apps that claim they can root your phone many works good.
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
You could probably do it all manually via Terminal Emulator (from the market), but it's description claims it cannot help you root your phone, so perhaps not.

Worth a try though, download the 'rageagainstthecage' script and see if you gain root.

I doubt it, but it would be awesome. WebOS is a stunningly beautiful OS. I love the way it looks, feels, and works. To me, it's up there with android in the multitasking department and surpasses it in design (though honeycomb is getting close). I had a pre for about 6 months and sometimes miss some of the things it did. That being said, as of june 2010, it was buggy as all get out and the app store was severly lacking.

I second the request for someone to look into this though, as it would be a lot of fun to play with.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
Hey, at least you owned up to it :)

I bought a Palm Pre the day it was released, I thought WebOS was pretty damn awesome, but they released it on hardware of the worst quality (my Pre oreo'd like a mofo, and the touchscreen stopped working 9 months in). That and the fact that they didn't license it out like Android pretty much doomed it from the start.

Nice to see HP giving it a go, and #2 tablet world is wide open at the moment, but I wouldn't choose it over Android. Would be fun to play with though.
