[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syaoran12:
I seem to have the same thing. It takes forever or doesnt lock on without both Google & VZW Servies enabled for my GPS.

But once they are both on as well as the stand alone gps it locks on very quickly.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elykoj:
update

once i got outside it seems to be good. i ran gps status and it found 8 sats and locked on all 8. but i have question as to when gps is actually running, as it shows in the notification area. i will post a bew thread on this now.:confused:
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3318460:
I have been using GPS Status for a few months, but it stopped working for me after Froyo. Just downloaded one called "GPS optimisation" from the market, and it worked like a charm. I'll keep using it until it stops working for me.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
I cant ever get gps to lock in by itself aswell. I just leave google services on and gps/verizon off... navigation/google maps locks in instantly.

Edit.

Just installed gps booster, now gps locks in by itself and is alot more accurate...Yay lol!!

Also Fwiw I tried "gps fix app" and "gps optimization", neither one worked.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucas.scott:
NICE . GPS Booster got me an instant lock as well . Thanks so much for that . I have never had my gps work as it should until now .
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfobrien:
Don't know if is just luck or maybe the area I'm in. I'm running 1.3 with the ED01 modem and use only GPS, Google location and VZW settings unchecked and have no GPS issues.

I did originally use EC01 with CommRom and the GPS didn't work as well as the ED01 does on my device.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rac1974:
I must be in the minority because from day one I've never had an issue with my gps. I usually open Google Maps, then activate my gps, and without fail it locks on in about 5 seconds and shows my position correctly on the map. I do have the Vzw & Google location enabled also. I did a comparison with a tomtom gps I have, and my phone locked on way faster than the tomtom.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpx213:
ive been only been able to get a lock if i turn off both vzw and google services and only leave on standalone gps. if i have either of the other two on as well, i cant get a lock.

did gps booster give you an instant locck with google or verizon services on as well?

I have a noob question I apologize. now that the nexus s 4g is out are we closer to getting gingerbread? This is the only phone out that doesn't have a GB rom which is lame

Please don't flame me I apologize I'm new at this stuff..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
The only reason you would get flamed is if you posted this in the development section. Good job you posted your question in the right section.

According to Samsung they are rolling out the GB update to handsets in Europe (Galaxy S I9000) and based on their "Regional Plan" everyone else will be getting it as well.

That's a vague as it comes, but that's the latest from good 'ol samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] SMASHERSONLY:
Oh cool thanks I was just wondering because before I bought this phone I was gonna get the nexus S but I wanted 4g so I got this but been hoping for a gingerbread rom I mean every other phone has it except this one wich is kinda gay
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
im a little naive when it comes to GB and havent read up on it. But, I was wondering what so good about a GB Rom? I would think people would want more Custom Roms than a samsung release.

would anyone like to share the differences between Froyo and GB?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
Dude as soon as 2.4 comes out, all we'll hear is about is ICS. GB? Almost like the droid's 2.0 release... Well, almost. :-P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sgyee:
Gingerbread's biggest plus is that it's got far better battery optimzation than Froyo.

In an attempt to compare apples to apples - Froyo Battery Life on my SGS4G and a 3500mAh battery is about 2 days.

In comparison, a MyTouch 4G on a 1400mAh battery and Gingerbread is about 2 days.

Both are used similarly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jazzmanmonty:
Sgyee, mt4g battery life on gb is not 2 days its the reason i kept thesgs4gand gace the mt4g to my gf. Mt4g w upgraded battery to 1500 mah and not much use (few calls and texts) with set cpu running on demand is about 11hours. Thats w newest gb build, kernal and radio. The sgs4g battery tho 1650 mah is alot better w more use.

(Question) What causes the need to fix permissions everytime I want to flash something? Everytime I go to fix permissions, it seems to take longer and longer to fix also (approx. 30-45 seconds). Also, it seems like this is always the fix in order to have successful flashing of themes/fonts/mods. Is there a resolution to this?

[Nook Color Accessories] can teh man:
Thought the back of my Nook Color looked a little bland, and I wanted to make mine stand out from others... so on eBay, I searched up a small (about 2.5" tall?) vinyl Android Decal... Ordered one (but they sent two, SCORE!) and attached are photos of the end result.

I wanted to put it square in the middle, but the nook emblem put a wrench in that plan. Perhaps I'll use some body filler or find a back without the indentation to cover up the 'n'.

For anyone interested in purchasing decals, here is the seller i bought from: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...41&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:L:OU:MOTORS:1123

Hi! i have recived a volcal message... How can i delete it?
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
There is a bug in windows, all versions to do with the nitification queue.

See this thread
[TG01 General] Godric8:
this does not solve the problem
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
I am sorry if i have misunderstood your original question, but if you mean you have received a voicemail message and you want to delete it, you would need to use your network providers menu system to delete it.

If you mean you have a icon in the notification area in the taskbar, then i am still certain its a problem with the notification queue.

Unless i am mistaken, you have a voice mail notification that you cannot get rid of, this is common problem, as i am no expert on the notification queue i can offer you this

In the past, i have had a problem where the sms notification will not disappear, at least until i soft reset the phone, and even then it can be persistant, when this happened to me, i used Memmaid to fix it.

Uh, what are you smoking? The Shift has 512 mb ram.

And the only difference with this phone and the EVO appears to be a .2 inch difference on the screen, and super amoled.

You'd still be trading in a higher resolution, 3D, and a dedicated camera button for this phone.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
I look at it this way. I won't be due for upgrade til January, so I'll looking in December, at what's out there. My only mistake with the Evo was that it was already out 6 months when I got it, although it was good in that a LOT of development had already been done on it, still, my next upgrade will be a newer device.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:

[EVO 4G General] Landara:
The Evo 3d and Sensation will both have locked bootloaders(so the rumors say) plus the 3d has a ****ty 5mp camera(ok 2 of them but who the hell cares about taking 3d pics?) and the sensation has no 4G and only 1GB of internal memory(WTF HTC?).. Also this phone(as well as the Galaxy S 2) is made by Samsung. So, while you may be positively torn by this difficult decision, I assure you that I speak for many of us here when I say "MEH, I'm good with my Evo".
[EVO 4G General] Landara:
I feel the opposite of you. I got my Evo in March of this year and I am glad I waited. My friend recently got a Thunderbolt when it was only out 2 weeks and there were barely any ROMS for it, it was a NIGHTMARE to root and he had hardware problems(which supposedly will be fixed in later versions). However when I got my phone, it had a TON of dev work done on it, and the hardware kinks were sorted out. Of course if you don't wanna root/flash etc then a brand new phone would do great. But I wouldn't want one. Not to mention you never know when the newest phone will be a success or not. Some phones never "take off" and so the Devs don't do much for them. But by getting a slightly older phone I was able to make sure that the there was a large DEV community devoted to it. Some of the device forums for android phones are down right depressing in their lack of goodies!!
[EVO 4G General] alero:
Lol, to crush? Really?
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
the new 5mp sensors should be better than our 8mp ones, just because of quality. iphone's 5mp KILLS our 8mp any day. so this to me says the 3d will be better than the evo in every way (minus kickstand, and maybe the dreaded bootloader lock, in which case the sgs2 will be the best probably)
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
My mistake, I was talking about the rom. Also, I was only speaking of the actual hardware of the 2 phones, not the features of them.
[EVO 4G General] Landara:
That's really just an assumption tho. The reason(according to my google search) that we have crappy cameras isn't the sensor it's the fact that the video has to be compressed as it's recorded(even for stills) to the SD card. SD cards are slow. iPhones don't have them. They don't need the compression. The same manufacturer actually makes the cameras for both HTC Evo and Iphone 4. I'm not a DEV so if that's not true don't blame me that's just what I'm reading. Anyway, since the Evo3D has only 4g Internal it's a pretty safe bet that they will still be writing to an SD card. So unless HTC has figured out how to compress better(and that may not even be possible for all I know) then I'm very worried that the camera's won't be better at all. But if the 5mps look better than the 8mps we have now, and IF there is no locked bootloader then and only then would I even consider an Evo 3D. So here's hoping that they read this post and scrap them all and start over! We want our kickstand!

[EVO 4G General] Landara:
You'd need more than that, you'd need a whole new camera process built from the ground up which didn't compress the output, since it seems to be integrated into HTCs actual camera app. CM of course isn't using that camera app but I'm guessing they likely poached it. If not, and they really did build from the ground up then maybe they could do this. I'm not really even sure if that's possible for anyone outside of HTC headquarters. But if so, that would be awesome :)

Hey guys,

Actually I very new to Samsung and android as well :):), I would like to know the meaning and the responsibility of some terms that I have never used to,

CSC eg (I9000GVD2JP5) meaning and function ?:confused:

kernel eg. (2.6.32.9) meaning and function ?:confused:

PDA eg. (I9000BUJP7)

PHONE eg. (I9000BUJP5) meaning and function ?:confused:

512.pit, 803.pit and 513.pit meaning and function ?:confused:

The above, are my versions, but I don't know what each is responsible for, I realized that the PDA is the rom it self, so If you don't have much to say about it, please igonre it.

Why some roms do contain its kernel and CSC from samfire, and why other roms don't??

and what will be the result If I installed a rom from samfire for a certain CSC that it the installed on my device, and why it is not included like others??

Thanks in advance for any one who can help :):)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
A Samsung Galaxy S ROM has a few parts :

kernel -> includes the linux kernel, which is the core of the Android OS, drivers to communicate with the hardware. Froyo includes Linux 2.6.32. Gingerbread is 2.6.35. But in our particular case the kernel file also includes an initial ram disk, a bunch of scripts and drivers usefull to boot the device

PDA -> most of the stuff, android and samsung applications, ringtones, etc.

Modem (or phone) -> the radio firmware. Without this you have 0 communication with the cell tower.

CSC -> customisation for a particular provider or country

The PDA can also include the kernel (zImage file)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbiton:
Thank you, not exactly what I asked for, but it helped me indeed, to know the difference between country codes, and the criteria of how to choose my rom :)

Thank you, you got me a brief answer but very informative, that make me know the exact differences but to be true, I want to know further. I am not a developer but always feel interested to know everything.

do you anything about 512.pit, and the 803.pit, 513.pit

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chishty1:
From what ive heard 512 pit is the best one to use
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Pit is only used if needed its not a standard part of flashing unless instructed to use a pit dont .

CSC country specifics gives the phone a list of local networks instead of manual network entry .

Phone = Modem and its critical too have the right one for your area .

Samfire not used on this forum so dont know .But stock answer would be that every rom is individual and has individual components .

Different rom with a CSC or different CSC just means that you may not get all the Samsung apps for the original country and you may have to enter networks APN details manually .

Rom can consist of single file with PDA Phone CSC and kernel installed as PDA via Odin.

Or it can be split usually into PDA Phone CSC/Modem

[Partially solved] BT does work with Megatron now, see post #3

Hi experts :)

I recently bought an Optimus T (LG-P500 showed in Settings), I am new to this rooting scene, but have some good knowledge on Unix.

I am using Megatron now, and either it does not support BT handsfree (cannot start a call from the button on my BT headset), or it is not working for me. And I know there are newer ROMs out there.

So my question is: What ROM should I go with / or stay with Megatron?

My requirements are:

+ good performance & functionality

+ no need of fancy interfaces or launchers

+ must support BT handsfree

+ bonus: memory cache for selected app (my ebook reader & browser)

+ bonus: if you run windows with its basic interface, or prefer anything to KDE, you know what I want :)

Thank you very much :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] p509explorer:
same question

Sorry, not and expert here.

I have an LG Optimus T for T-Mobile. Mine is the P509. The Optimus T should say T-Mobile on the front.

The P500 is an Optimus One. They are about the same except the numbers are not the same. There are reported to be some market applications that look for the P509 identification and reject the P500 identification. The "settings" should show the actual model numbers.

The Gingerbread ROMs (2.3.x) are supposed to have problems with the bluetooth. The Froyo ROMs (2.2.x) should have a better chance of working. There is a lot of work on the Gingerbread ROMs now so things are changing fast and this generalization might not hold everywhere. I would also like to have Bluetooth for my MotoRokr headset.

I have been trying to decide on a ROM also and have trouble keeping all the posts I have read organized in my mind. I am looking for the same answers.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] chicguy:
All replies are always appreciated :)

Anyways, BT handsfree on Megatron seems to start working for me, I believe this happens after a few restart of the phone (hold power button, shutdown, then start up).

The problem might be from BTmono, but I cannot confirm that.

Hence for now, I will live with Megatron.

My question still partial open for suggestion with what new ROM should I go with my preference in OP.

Thanks all :)
