[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andasolo33:
no sdcard - help please

Hello all, found this post and as a complete newbie I was excited to see what the GTAB could be transformed into. Not quite ready for custom ROMS so I figured I'd start with Clockworkmod and trying to install the standard android market.

Problem is when I hook up my gtab I don't see an "sdcard" folder... Anybody have any ideas why that would be? How do I work around it?

I have the following folders:

.android_secure

Android

clockworkmod

DCIM

download

kindle

LOST.DIR

Master

Music

Photos

recovery

Videos

update.rar

Thanks in advance for your help!

SDCARD is the folder that is mounted on your computer when you connect via USB. The list above are the contents of your SDCARD.

I'm aware of the GPS issues with the Samsung Galaxy S. I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G and I'm wondering if anyone with this phone is experiencing difficulties getting GPS to lock in.

Within approximately 10 minutes, I can see in the GPS Test app about 3 satellites in view. Given enough time, it picks up a few more and eventually locks in.

I've read about the Super GPS fix and the hardware fix but I'm not sure if it would be wise to try it on this phone since the fix was meant for a different model and I don't see any mention of anyone trying it on the GS4G:

Locks quickly for me without any "special" settings or apps. I even have network-based location always off on my phone since I don't want Google tracking me all the time.

The first lock may be causing you problems if the orbital data hasn't been loaded recently enough.

I have read that GPS Status has helped some by causing the orbital data to be refreshed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] toasis2000:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G and a Vibrant, both are horrible with GPS, they both take forever to get a lock and many times they never get a lock and Samsung is less than helpful. They had my Vibrant for three weeks and sent it back with nothing changed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theblueprint:
mine has never taken more than ~30 seconds to get a lock, even if that 30 seconds sometimes feels like "forever".

this is my first GPS-equipped phone, so i don't have anything to compare it to, but once it's locked, subsequent locks take less time. maybe i just got a "good one"?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] golmar88:
I have a Vibrant and an sgs4g. There is no comparison between the two. The sgs4g takes about 5 seconds to lock, The Vibrant I've waited literally 40 mins and still never got a lock. It could be the app. Are you having any trouble with google navigation taking along time or just the gps test app?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
I know this wasn't directed at me, but I share the same GPS problems.

This issue occurs in all GPS Apps, including Google Navigation. It simply says acquiring GPS....

The GPS icon flashes like it's working, but its not doing anything.

Looking in the market there's an app called GPS Aids V2...anyone try it? Supposed to help all Galaxy S phones with GPS problems.

Before buying, I want to see if it's worth it......

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Just kidding, I bought the app. So far it seems to be working well; after doing everything my phone was actually picking up FIVE satellites.

Not working right now, though. I contacted the developer for some help, and I'll post his reply/an update soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
Problem Solved for FREE!

I have the solution and some confusing steps to fix your phone.

Right now as we speak i've followed ALL the steps and have 4 satellites currently showing on the phone while INSIDE my house, in under three minutes time.

Credit to: http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to/gps-problem/

-Download LauncherPro first.

-Tap and hold on your homescreen, and select shortcut.

-Click Activities.

-Scroll to LbsTestMode.

-Tap the first one, LbsTestMode (with gray saying com.sec.android.app.lbstestmode.LbsTestMode

-Click okay when "edit shortcut" comes up.

-Open the shortcut.

-Tap "SUPL/CP Settings"

-Change the following fields to...

Server -> supl.google.com

Server Port -> 7276

SUPL Secure Socket -> OFF

AGPS Mode -> SUPL

-Click Back (it saves it)

-Reboot your Phone.

-Click Settings, then Location & Security.

-Check "Use Wireless Networks"

-Go to your Launcher, and open LbsTestMode again

-Click "Delete GPS" Data

-Exit the App, and close it with a task killer.

-Open it again, and click "Get Position Test"

-It might take a while for something to show up....but it eventually will. Let it run for about ten minutes straight.

-Close the App again, and you should be good!

Upon Position test....I got:

Accuracy: 41 (meters)

Number of Satellites (INDOORS!): 9

Speed: (m/s)

If you have any questions feel free to reply.

Remember, credit goes to "Bade" (which credited XDA forums anywho) of samsunggalaxyforum.com

Running Copilot Live (GPS Application) and finding location took less than 5 seconds indoors.

To check some info out, I ran GPS Test, and saw "In View" Satellites was 9, and "In Use" was 7. (both were 2, to 0 respectively...previously.)

Running GPS Test (another app, different) came up with my location in less than a second.

I'd call this a success :D

This guide will also be on my site, here

http://www.cyclopscomputers.com/gs4g
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
My GPS was working but I wanted to mess around and check on your findings. I tried to get this to work but it took quite long looking for Satellites.

I noticed when I went in to modify the SUPL settings, it was set to custom config. Made the changes according to your post and like i said before, it took a while so I stopped it. changed the settings to auto conifg and BAM! pulled 13 satellites and locked in within seconds. I do not know if its due to my location but Im working great on Auto Config.

this post is more of an FYI rather than a fix. Hope you guys get yours fixed either way.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
On the first try, you have to let "Get Position Test" run for around 10 minutes (The 3 minutes on the original post I said might've been a stretch).

Trying Auto Config, I'm getting similar results, though with the custom settings I had more satellite lock-ons.

Custom:

12 SAT, 10 CONNECT

Automatic:

11 SAT, 7 CONNECT

After doing this, the GPS data should stay downloaded on the phone so future satellite searches are MUCH quicker.

Thank you for your input by the way..I appreciate it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ssmokey727:
My phone has always find satellites and locked within 30 secs. One day I started messing around with settings and came to find out my gps was no longer locking on any satellites at least for 10 mins. I bought the gps aids v2 app from the market then tapped on gps doctor and tapped on "regenerate" (it regenerates the gps data folder) it made my phone boot up. Since then my gps has been workin excellent after that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
I tried the same thing, except with that app I couldn't download the XTRA data once resetting the settings :/
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ssmokey727:
Me neither, it couldn't seem to download the xtra data, but just by tapping on gps doctor and "regenerate" and in my case that fixed it. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
Still no GPS connected until I put in the custom settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
If i get bored ill try it again, I live on a tiny island out in the middle of the pacific so GPS is not that big of a deal for me. lol

Thank you for the update. 10 Sat connects is way better than 7 :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fideli.:
Just came across this when I was freaking out about my crappy GPS lock. Just got this phone to use on Mobilicity and was concerned there was some T-Mo setting that needed to be changed. Anywho, this works wickedly. Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] elinca247:
I have the gs4g and tried GPS AIDs with some improvement . At the most I would lock onto 7 satellites when it felt like working. I lifted the contact as indicated in the thread above. I then deleted the old GPS data. Then in GPS AID I regenerated the DATA and rebooted. Now i get 12 locks on satellites all with green signal status. Very please. Google maps Locks on with in seconds....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fideli.:
I think I spoke too soon. I tried this in Calgary and it was great. I'm now in Toronto and I haven't gotten a lock since I got here on Monday. Tried messing around with the settings again, but just won't lock on. Also tried auto config to grab SUPL info from my provider, but that didn't work either. Still working on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soundwave123:
Start over and flash krylon deoxed with odin, cwm, bionix. This resolved my 10-15m lock times completely. Now I get a lock in seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Nilmandir:
Amazing!

I tried this and got accuracy within 3 meters off 10 satellites. Before, it was about 80 meters. Just awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] invario:
You don't need launcher pro to get into LbsTestMode. In your phone's dialer, just type *#*#3214789650*#*# and it'll go into it.

As for what you suggested about going in and messing with the settings, the first lock takes forever because you've wiped out all the ephemeris data by deleting. It starts looking for satellites for your first lock which takes a while with no ephemeris data. Once it gets a lock, it starts downloading ephemeris data and subsequent locks are significantly faster because your phone now knows where the satellites are.

AGPS helps reduce the lock time a bit (by using mobile location and the SUPL server), but not by a huge amount. The largest reduction in time is due to the fact that you have updated ephemeris data. If your ephemeris data is outdated, your lock times will go up again.

If you don't believe me, try this: get your lock. Then shut off your GPS by using the pull down panel. Leave it off for at least 24-36 hours. Then try to get a lock again. It's going to take a long time again...

I've been tinkering with the GPS on this phone for a while now as well as my GF's Vibrant. There's no doubt in my mind that the SGS4G is improved over the Vibrant, but it's still not great.

I've also pulled apart both of these phones and done the hardware fix by bending the little tab every so slightly. Made a significant difference on the Vibrant which was having a problem maintaining locks and the GPS signal was bouncing all over. No noticeable difference on my phone.

My only conclusion is that the antenna on these things are poorly designed and just take a long time to get an initial lock. Once locked, it's pretty solid. Other phone manufacturers have GPS that work better though. No reason why Samsung couldn't do better.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brucifer:
Quick note on manual access to LbsTestMode

If you want to access LbsTestMode as noted in INVARIO's post above, the correct code (for Froyo 2.2.1) is slightly different (or the old post may have been a typo).

In your phone's dialer, enter *#*#3214789650#*#* and it'll go into it.

The last four characters are in opposite order of INVARIO's post: #*#*
[Captivate General] socrated13:
Hello all,

This fall I will be travelling overseas to Sweden for a semester of study. I'd like to be able to take my captivate with me and just buy a pay-as-you-go or contractless phone/data plan from a provider in europe when I get there.

However I have no experience with european providers or what the cheapest and most effective way to communicate internationally and locally(in Sweden and across Europe) would be. Even less where to start looking, so:

Can anyone point in the right direction for some resources to find out what my easiest options would be?

Do I have to unlock my phone(at&t) in order to use another provider?

Does the Captivate support the bands needed for 3G/calling in Europe?

Could I potentially buy a data-only plan and use skype over 3G for calling?

Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated :D

Thanks!
[Captivate General] echonc:
I would also like to know, hope this goes somewhere
[Captivate General] bclark:
You may want to ask in the i9000 forum. But to my knowledge you can add a overseas plan to your att plan and you get charged a lesser amt for your minutes.

You should be able to buy a pay as you go sim when you get over there as well.
[Captivate General] jfclk33:
I'm not sure about Sweden, but I recently went to the U.K. for work and I took my unlocked captivate with me. I got a local SIM card when I got there and had absolutely no problems at all and it was a lot cheaper than any plan AT&T had.

I went to Mexico once for a week and used one of those plans from AT&T and my bill was $150 higher that month.
[Captivate General] FreddieP:
When I visited France I hadn't yet unlocked my phone (which would be my first recommendation, then buy just data once there) and I used GVoice Callback (GV Dialer does the same) in conjunction with Sipdroid (of Fring) and a SIP phone number from SipGate to make free calls from France to US landlines via hotel wifi.

Here are some links with info to configure what I describe:

http://goo.gl/M1vj1 (this is a summary of my configuration)

http://goo.gl/sZhVw

http://goo.gl/63yD

http://goo.gl/gUIHF

Staying w/ AT&T when overseas will be expensive.
[Captivate General] 41LY45:
I believe this link will answer your question:

http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html

They use the 2100Mhz UMTS band, (which we also use over here in Malaysia)

And it will work. :cool:

( got mine unlocked by default though, get superoneclick to unlock your cappy)
[Captivate General] DarkDvr:
Call ATT and ask them to give you an unlock code. Otherwise it won't accept a non-ATT simcard
[Captivate General] Superguy:
I used my unlocked Captivate in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Czech Republic. No problems in any of the countries roaming on an AT&T SIM or a local pre-paid card. I used an O2 MVNO in Germany and Vodafone in Prague.

Some of the common carriers in Europe are T-Mobile, Vodafone, O2, and Orange. I'd check carriers local to where you are. Vodafone was much more expensive in Germany than it was in Czech Republic. T-Mobile tended to be on the expensive side anywhere.

Vodafone in Czech Republic was $30 for unlimited data. Most carriers will charge you 5 or 10 euros (of the equivalent in local currency) to buy the SIM, and there will be about 10 euros of credit on there.

I'd get Google Voice and use that to call back to the US. That way you only pay for data and avoid text/voice charges.

Good luck!
[Captivate General] Superguy:
Or just use SGS unlock tool and you can unlock it in less than 5 minutes.

Hi !

I was wondering if some of you, LGO2X users, had experienced some MMS quality issue ?

In France, we've got some troubles with 2 carriers (Bouygues/maybe SFR).

Problem : sending is fine, but when we recieve an MMS, it's compressed to about 3-7KB => really blury...

We tried some things : by using a different SIM card from another carrier, it works. We thought it might be an APN issue, but they seems just fine.

Then, some users found out that with MoDaCo vanilla/Kitchen ROMs the problem disappears. So could it be due to LG MMS app layer ?

Anyway, the real question is : is it French carrier/device specific, or has it been observed in other country with other carrier/device ?

Thx.

Hi, need some help with my x please. I have two of these phones. About 2 months ago I installed superuser, z4root and the wireless tether. Yesterday my phone got stuck in the boot up loop so I finally had to factory reset. My problem now is that it looks to have the superuser still functioning but I cannot download the z4root, I get a "cannot parse file" message each time. I need the tether back with the z4root or some other simple download asap. I use this formy work and am lost without it! Need some advice/help please!

Hi all. So lately i've seen nice lockscreen sliders but i couldn't find any .cabs or _manila files to use them, that is why i created my own. They are preety simple(i like that way) but fit nicely to the screen. Both are for WVGA devices cause i own one. Ok so

first of all You need to have CHT 2.0 installed and CHT

lockscreen enabled

. Then You have to choose which one You want to use. first one is a HD mini style, the other one is Manila style. I don't take any credits for them. Hope You will like them.

I was pretty certain that the EVO 3D would be next phone, so much so that I upgraded my plan so I could maintain gold premiere status so I could upgrade in June. Now, I see Amazon is releasing a phone. Not just any phone either, possibly the most spectacular sounding phone I've read about. I guess this doesn't come as a surprise seeing as they just launched their own app store. I wonder which carrier this will come to? Please be Sprint! Anyone else on the fence about this? I mean SOLAR POWER? :eek: I think that sounds better then 3D, for my use anyway. Now that I know 3D will only be for movies and pictures, it sounds way less appealing. I was hoping for a 3D interface.
