GPS FIX i9003

I purchased my i9003 a fortnight back and had wonderful opinion , till the time i checked the GPS and surprisingly it did not work, could not understand how a product can be defective out of box. however when i googled for a fix , came to know there was significant issues with galaxy S phones

Contacted Samsung customer care , the technical folks have no clues and seems to from a different planet,all of them either denied there was a problem or asked me to do a hard reset, one tried to convince me for an hour that A-GPS worked only on network triangulation and did not have a actual gps and will give only an approximate location.

coming back to the problem , The earlier issues in Galaxy s related to configuration which were rectified by a fix and 2.2 update

the problem with i9003 i feel had something to do with the inbuilt sensor, i tried lot of software from android market including GPS Doctor, GPS Aids, GPS Fix, GPS Status, GPS test and GPS essentials among others... none of them were able to fix the problem , although few of them were able to detect gps satellites ( sometime even 12) but were not able to get a fix. the sad part was two of the apps were paid apps and total waste of money

In my trial and error approach I tried a software called Turbo GPS (its free) from android market, the major difference in this software vs. others was it had its own software to manage the sensors and after installing software the problem vanished. all you need to do is to run Turbo GPS wait for a couple of minutes and then start google maps. it worked like a charm.....

Hi adgdeepak, tough but successful experience. everyone has a share of GPS challenges, nice to know yours.

I crosschecked & double checked but

could not find "Turbo GPS" on Android market!

Anyway, happy navigation :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AngelDeath:
Not to take anything away from the OP author or anyone else, but would anyone be willing to test mine out? It is in my sig. If it helps you great, but its more for me to see if my theory is right that any android phone will work.

So far, it works on the Droid, Captivate, Aria, Inspire, Desire +HD, HD2, and the list goes on. I will not be checking this thread But its another alternative I wanted to point out, and am curious of its success.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] $omator:
'good old fix' for captivate or vibrant strikes again...same with 'press antena' one, nothing new...

again users have to fix their phones by editing service menu and with a piece of paper/coper =)

as it is PROBABLY the same BCM4751 chip - with same crappy board-antena contact as in sgs - you SL users are GPS handicapped ;]

could someone check what chip it carries?

No buddy, we do not have problem with GPS. Locks within 5 seconds with XXKB3 firmware.

I saw you your post on [ROM][ODEX] SATAN.XXJVO beta1. Would you like to help us in porting few goodies from I9000 or can you guide us whom to contact for porting clockwork recovery for I9003. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] $omator:
i also have instant fix, that never was an issue

real problem is with recorded tracks (eg mytracks) - while i am not moving fixed position likes to travel around, and wile moving it likes to record me off position

what bothers me is also fix stepping - every 5m not by 1m ad in my 5 years phone

as for CWM ask Chainfire
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Thanks for replying. I have never tried to record tracks while navigating. Will test it and post the results here. I have sent PM to chinfire, hoping for positive response towards the custom/CWR for I9003

No such luck.

My setting were already set to the above. Not a single GPS lock.

Firmware version 2.2.1

Baseband version I9003DDKA5
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] edsel6502:
Got it to work. This is specific to me.

background:

Samsung i9003 from India.

Provider: AT&T, Airtel

Current Location: California

Here what I needed to do.

1. Root your phone

2. Down GPS Aids from the Marketplace

3. Use the forced LTO method from the setup wizard of GPS Aids. (this requires your phone to be rooted. Native method does not work for me.)

4. run LibTestMode and change the Application Settings -> Operation Mode -> MS Mode (Standalone did not work for me)

5. Reboot

Looking for to use this when I go back to Bangalore again.

salve a tutti. possiedo un samsung galaxy tab marchiato tim. mi era venuta la felice idea di passare alla rom cyanogen mod 7, visto che quella tim a volte scattava un po.. il problema è che questo è il mio primo dispositivo android, ed ho provato a fare l'upgrade senza informarmi prima... ho usato heimdall, e ora il mio terminale è bloccato.. all'accensione ora mi parte direttamente la "ClockMod Recovery" ma il sistema non parte. Ho sbagliato un paio di cose: :o

1 ho provato a fare la procedura con heimdall senza prima sbloccare il bootloader

2 non ho selezionato tutti i file.Ho selezionato cahe.ext4, dbdata.ext4, factoryfs.ext4 e il kernel zImage. ma c'è un file (flashme.sh) che non so a che serve e dove lo devo mettere. Mi mancano per esempio i file param.lfs, PIT (Repartition device), Primary Bootloader, Secondary bootloader, modem, recovery. Sono necessari? Se si, dove li posso trovare?

Rimane il fatto che ora il sistema non si avvia piu. Chi mi sa dare una guida sul da fare?

Grazie in anticipo, luca..

Hey guys I have found a Evo4g at work in pristine condition. Could I sell it or is it no good? I see that these Sprint phones don't take a sim card. So I wasnt sure if it would work unless it was purchased from store? Thanks guys!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I suggest you turn it in to your workplace's lost & found department. An EVO 4G is not a device that people will discard as trash. I'd like to believe someone is looking for it. If it's unlocked, peruse the contact list and make some calls to determine its owner.

posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You should turn that into someone, a supervisor...ect. SOMEONE is looking for that phone because...its a beautiful device. Mine got stolen [still don't know how] and I moved hell and high water for that thing. That person will really appreciate, and like dougjamal suggested, if unlocked, use the call log, make some calls to find out who's it is.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
Seriously? You find someone else's property and you want to SELL it?!?!

Wow. It is amazing how society has fallen...

And let me tell you something about CDMA....

The phone is linked to the account through the ESN number... if he reports it lost/stolen, and you try to activate it, expect trouble.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingDavid63:
Calm down... I found it over a week ago... I did turn it in to my supervisor and they called me up there and did paper work because no one claimed it. Alot of people in and out of plant traveling.... No contacts in it... What else to do?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well...I guess hold onto it, and ask around for another week...

I would recommend leaving it with the supervisor/manager in the department you found it in, because it'd be most likely that person would turn to them to check. Also it keeps you out of liability if "something happened to the phone."
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingDavid63:
Yea your probably right. I would want my Glacier. Ima call sprint see if they knows who it is...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monster60:
Lol

1. Pull the battery and find the ESN

2. CALL SPRINT tell them exactly what happened especially the policy for your company waiting a week for it's owner to return.

OPTION 2. CALL SPRINT and ask them if the ESN is clear. If it is your in the clear as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
From the home screen, press menu > settings > about phone at the bottom > status, and it'll list the device phone number. Tell it to the sprint rep and they should be able to direct you to a person from there, also the MEID number if they ask for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
I was wondering about this a few months ago when I moved over to Sprint. I signed up with the Shift and decided after it had shipped I didn't like the keyboard so I went to a store and swapped it. The guy accidentally put it in my bag still with my Evo box and I didn't see it until I got home. Being the nice person I am I returned it next business day on the "low", incase he might get in trouble, but I know for a split second I was wondering how much I could craigslist it for.

Hi to all bros,

I have hboot 0.93 and rooted using un-revoked. Now there's something wrong with the hardware and need to send it for servicing, so i need to un-root it. i tried using the ruu but to no success because of the hboot version i guess. Any idea?

Pretty sure you have to use the goldcard method, as your hboot version is newer than the one you are flashing.

Hi I have the same problem. im using 0.93 locked to t-mobile, I tried the goldcard on the only Ruu that matched which was non of the t-mobile ones and it failed customer ID error, I have also tried the downgrade method and it failed on CID check I have redone the goldcard several times and still no joy.

currently I have reloaded the t-mobile Rom recovery file from clockworkmod I backed it up on root before I flashed a custom rom and bellow is the version numbers im using atm.

hboot 0.93

Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Yes, this error means, your are using the wrong RUU. You really have to use a RUU from T-Mobile, your software-number (2.12.110.4) clearly shows this. So in your RUU name has to be the combination "TMO_UK". And do not forget to compare the radioversion.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daz87uk:
I did the exactly that ^^^ after finally getting the goldcard to work, it loaded through the whole process of loading the T-mobile uk ruu and now my phone is buggered :mad: I get a blank screen it vibrates on and the keys light up. now its flashed the whole thing, its wiped my recovery so I cant even enter blind and reload previous Rom. :(

I dont think I can fix this as Unrevolked wont work as phone is stuck in usb charge mode. Ive have no idea how to fix this as it seems very few people have 0.93 hboot with blank screen issue as well as getting 130 or 140 errors on every ruu exept the t-mobile ones that buggered my phone in the first place. All ive returned on a fix is load anouther exe ruu and reflash but I cant because it errors 130 cid on all of them.

plz help :( I have no idea what to do.

go to temp folder where files extracted and copy or move rom.zip to desktop

(tmp folder varies for windows operating system.. windows xp C:\documents and setting\(user folder)\local settings\tmp\(folder with letters and numbers.. just look in them) )

rename rom.zip PB99IMG.zip and move to root of sd card

Oh btw, just replace the existing one in /system/app or push it using ADB.

Thanks for the link, but that one says its the text-about-voicemail mms.apk, is there any way to avoid that? I'm probably splitting hairs here but just curious, lol.

Also, i'm at work (no adb) I couldn't just fire up the apk on my phone, i'd actually have to push it through, right?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3dr0maz:
The text about vm is not avoidable. I think someone said you can block the 9016:// messages through sprint maybe? im not sure exactly. I use to care at first then i realized I don't really get many VM's. And if you're at work you can just move it into the /system/app folder. You dont have to use adb push. That's just another option.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deku_nut:
I tried moving it into the system/app folder and it just gave me a parsing error, can't get it to receive texts. I put the old Mms.apk back in the apps folder and it threw the same error.

*edit*

I re-zip-flashed bonsai and it seemed to repair my texting ability. I tried the process again (replacing Mms.apk), then went into CW Recovery and wiped dalvik, booted and it still is on the samsung themed bubble Mms.apk. For sh*ts and giggles i tried tap-installing the Mms.apk and it wouldn't install, just as i figured. Suggestions?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3dr0maz:
Yeah tap-installing those system apps doesnt ever work. That's weird that you replaced the file, rebooted, and you were still on the old one. Although, technically there shouldnt be any need to reboot. I've switched out /system/app/Mms.apk and other apks without rebooting before. I do this all the time when theming. /boggle. Sorry, i'm not sure what more suggestions I can make. If you want I can try making it a flashable zip and maybe you can try that?

I'm running bonsai 4.0.1, not sure why it isn't working either. I'm not a dev but i'm no tech slouch myself and I can't figure it out. I'll try it again tonight. Also, teach a man to fish, don't give me the fish. If you happen to have a link for a tutorial to make flashable zips i'm all ears and ready to learn.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3dr0maz:
Take a generic working CWM zip that replaces /system/ files. Delete all the crap out of it [dont delete Meta-Inf folder] with winzip, winrar, or 7zip. Drop in /system/app/Mms.apk . Most important thing is to maintain the file structure. As it will use it to push the Mms.apk onto the phone. Thats how i always do it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deku_nut:
I made the flashable zip, no luck. Just a thought-is the lack of the mms.odex an issue? does DeOdexing have something to do with this?

The more weird thing is I cannot sync over Wifi. The PC side Acer Sync always prompts me "please reinstall Acer Sync", even when I tried to sync with Google account.

After several uninstall and reinstall, I decided to go to Acer Support. First, they told me to reset my tablet. After I pointed out the software screwed on my PC, they began to ask me if my PC is Acer and what the serial number is.

So I assume Acer support is not reliable. And I'm still waiting for some solution from nowhere.

On your tablet you have to go into the the settings when your in the acer screen. Click the upper right hand corner and it will prompt you for settings, network settings, and about.
