To fix this, go to the android market, search for Adobe Flash and press update. Since flash is built in on the Sgs2, it does not show as an app in the market that allows itself to be updated. (Same goes for the youtube all - I know we're talking about the site here)

After updating flash this problem is resolved!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] JEDI_BC:
Hi,

I have the Transformer for 10 days now (updated immediately on 3.1). Last monday, the screen crashed as showed in the jpg attached (it was only a video problem as i heard the sound of received emails in the background).

After 4 or 5 reboots, the problem was fixed. I decided to make a factory reset but the problem already occured 2 times yet. Not so long, just 1 or 2 seconds each time but i don't think it is a software problem as i haven't installed so much softwares from the market.

Have you occured the same problem ?

Do you think i should contact Asus support for an exchange even if i can't reproduce the crash ?

Thanks for your answers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JEDI_BC:
Had the problem many times today. I've sent a mail to Asus Support.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] test03:
Hi everyone.

I have a problem with GPS on my euro Galaxy S (i9000).

I can get a lock without any problem, but the thing is that the accuracy it's very low (more than 40 meters).

I tried to have a look to LbsTestMode, but no settings helped. (I'm in Standalone mode).

Any advice?

Thanks.

Info:

Android 2.2.1

Baseband: XXJPY

Kernel: Hardcore K13E

Build: RSJS2

EDIT: I searched the forums, but almost every thread speaks about GPS lock, not accuracy.

try jvp - best gps so far
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chablo12:
I don't know, which place you are in. You need to update to Gingerbread and use your default modem for country/network. Samfirmwire will help you in choosing the right modem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] manishnraj:
what is jvp

sent from galaxy sl
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chablo12:
Is that your phone having a root access or phone Android is original from Samsung?

If your phone is original Android no point in knowing about JVP!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ED8:
XXJVP is the latest stock version for Samung Galaxy S. You can find tons of custom ROMs or stock ones in the Galaxy S I9000 Android Development forum, and instructions on how to flash it.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
better look for firmwares here http://samfirmware.com/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] saphirrot:
You should try Darkys 10.1 with Darky Core and JVO Modem. GPS works okay but no perfectly !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] test03:
Thanks for your replies.

Now I upgraded to JVP (Juwe's 5.0).

During a car ride, the accuracy "seems" (placebo?) to be a little better, but not too much.

I will do some more tests today afternoon (here in Italy it's morning now), in the same conditions I did some other jogging rides, with Runkeeper and the phone in my pocket.

Do you think I should flash another modem from sam firmwares website?

Thanks.

EDIT: JVP is for Europe, so I should be ok, I think.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RorixRebel:
im having the same problem here

but im using a i9000T in mexico

im getting like 40m difference as well, using 2.3.3 darky's 10.1

BUT using JL2 modem since it allows me to use 850 band...was wondering if trying another modem would help

any suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ccrows:
I fluctuate between 15-30-45. Stock Bell at the moment with a couple if GPS Apps needed from time to time to get lock.

All in all, that accuracy is good enough for me.

If I need to be more accurate, I'll throw my SIM back inside my Nokia phone... :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] test03:
I'm back.

Today I noticed a decreased accuracy, what a pity...

The accuracy setting in libgps is 30 meters.

Any advice? Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jutezak:
I went from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 JVH.

Reported GPS accuracy is worse in JVH. I often got 10 meters, now I see 30 meters more often.

The accuracy itself seems to be better though! So the report is more pessimistic but the GPS actually works better - at least when making some speed.

When walking, it seems the position is often frozen and only updated every 5 seconds or so. Which is a shame.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
jvh / jvo gps is crappy

test jvp or use my files to change gps to JV99same with JVP) or nexus
[Galaxy S I9000 General] test03:
Thanks for your reply.

If I try your nexus s files, do you know a way to revert back to what I have now? (Juwe's 5.0). Speaking of that, do you know if your files are compatible with Juwe's 5.0 (JVP). I think so, but just to confirm.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i think juve depending on base must be using jvo or jvp files so just go with jvo to get back =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] test03:
Today I tried one more time, with the same conditions (Juwe's 5.0 JVP, no modded files).

The only differences are:

- Phone not in pocket, but in direct line of sight with sky

- Fasterfix with Italy selected as location

The accuracy is still very low (fluctuates between 15-30-40). It's so unreliable for runkeeper stats.

What do you suggest for the next try?

I think the alternatives to try are:

- Nexus S files

- JV9 Files

- Lowering the Accuracy threshold to 20 (needed?)

Anyone experienced better results doing any of the above?

If you have other suggestions, please tell.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
I've done a long and exhaustive test with many roms and many files for tracking purposes (I used SportyPal and now I use SportsTrackLive) and, beleive me, you can only go so far without an external device.

The only thing left to test is the Kernel. I think I had better result using SpeedMod.

I have come to the conclusion that if I want precise tracking I can only use an external device. I have yet to receive my order but I'm confident it will be miles appart from what I get with the SGS alone (or any phone, for that matters)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Esahin1992:
always 10-20m with jvk germany
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sathkartha:
SGS with GB can do only thus far and no further------

On the GPS front,SGS does have some shortcomings obviously.I had an Xperia Mini before migrating to SGS and that had a fabulous GPS with locking happenin withing seconds and accuracy always between 6 to 10 m and occasionally even less than 6!!!!

I have tried several tricks including all sorts of modems on SGS but have gotten no closer than 20 m especially after upgrading to GB.

I remember though----seeing accuacy of 10 m while still on Froyo 2.2!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which means it may not be hardware but something to do with the OS??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jutezak:
Indeed the software is strange, also gining accuracies in these big steps.

But I think GB is not less accurate than Froyo, but that the accuracy indicator is more correct. In Froyo it used to be overly optimistic.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hitman482:
Agreed, JVP has by far the best GPS accuracy and speed of lock.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] test03:
Tried with $omator Nexus S GPS files. The results are a little better, but far from being good.

Just a note: I'm not relying on the accuracy indicator, but on runkeeper track recordings.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Auzy:
Yeah.. people need to stop looking at the indicator. Accuracy indicators are useless without proper RAIM/FDE implementations which the SGS is unlikely to have
[Galaxy S I9000 General] norbi2011:
Try fasterfix.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] test03:
Already tried. I think that fasterfix just selects the right NTP (network time protocol) server just to help the lock, not the accuracy.

Thanks anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
and they will not get any better. all other devices (samsung, htc, apple) using this gps chip BCM4751 reports same crapppy accuracy

SiRFstar IV was announced in mid 2009 - http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2350815,00.asp

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gsw5700:
My GPS was always a bit dodgy on JVH and JVP (stock deodexed), Not sure how, but since flashing the Galaxian kernel, I am getting a GPS lock accurate to 5 or 10m in literally <= 5-10 seconds, even inside the house. Not sure if the TCP tweaks have helped but its awesome now, like getting another phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
thats nothing impresive - thats normal gps on stock behaviour

well depends on how tall is the building youre in and how many walls and storeys youve got above you - ofc you can get a fix in a standalone house or even in sky-scraper close to window

anyways you can get few birds inside but thats not kernel dependable
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gsw5700:
impressive for me, normally takes 30 secs min to get30 -40 m accuracy after a minute

Do you think that applying this HW fix is worth trying?

Thanks!

PS: my Galaxy S i9000 is from August 2010.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] test03:
Hi. New update: it seems that letting the GPS run for 10 minutes or so before registering the RUnkeeper activity seems to impreve accuracy.

Could this be the case or am I wrong? Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MasterJam882:
First time I used gps in JVQ today...

Normally I had lock in 15-30 secs (max 8 birdies).

With JVQ I started gps and just 3 secs later I had lock (max 11 bierdies).

Of course same testing surroundings in both cases - laying in garden with free sight to heaven.

Repeated this many times. Each time I had this fast lock....I dunno what they did but it seems samsung did a pretty gd job here.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ChruFru:
Hello, i want to change the bulid-in Sip stack codec in gingerbread. My first Problem is to switch only to the GSM codec. I can't find any option in the framework-res.apk. Can anyone of you developer guys, give me a tip to do this, please.

Witch .apk is the right one to hide the codec lines. I'm an newbie in android programming.

My second Problem it's that people (like me) who have an free PBXes account, can't really use the build in sip stack. Sipdroid uses not standard sip protocols to communicate with there own servers. So any other sip client can't use the TCP Protocol in combination with PBXes.org. The battery drain with UDP is unacceptable.

I think I'm to be able to recompile an *.apk file. But i don't know what lines i can copy from the decompiled Sipdroid.apk to the new ?.apk file that come in with the build in stack.

Please help

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atmospherix:
Hi all -

I was attempting to load Cyanogen onto my Gtab. Seemed to be going well. I downgraded from TnT 4349, got clockworkmod on and tried flashing CM. Not exactly sure what happened but I never got CM running.

Now I can't boot into clockworkmod after running nvflash. Tried it dozens of different ways. Here's the cycle of what currently happens:

I power down my Gtab. Put it in APX mode (Power + Vol Down). Hear USB connect on my computer, dont' see the birds logo, just black screen.

Run NVFlash batch file. Gtab screen comes on, "Entering NVFlash recovery mode / Nv3p Server". NVFlash runs successfully according to its read outs.

Gtab reboots, goes through loader screens, and is up and running. TnT works fine.

Power down. Try to get into recovery (Power + Vol Up). Hear USB connect on my computer, nothing happens. Black screen. If I press power again, I hear the USB disconnect sound. If I hold it down for 10+ seconds, I hear the USB disconnect sound, a short pause, then the USB connect sound again.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

I've tried flashing every version of TnT I can find, with/without clockworkmod, nothing works. As soon as I power down my device, it won't turn back on. Just a black screen and the USB connect sound.

I've been searching xda-developers for a solution for days now. Every fix I try that sounds remotely like my problem has not worked. Tried the FORMAT Nvflash as well.

From what I've been reading, it sounds like I am "stuck" in APX mode. Is there any way to definitively get out of APX mode?

Running Windows 7 64 bit, going to try the process from Ubuntu but not very hopeful it's going to make a difference.

Any help would be sincerely appreciated!

K J Rad's method got me part of the way there... The big secret is:

Hold down the Volume Up before running NVFlash, and keep holding down for a few seconds after it starts.

Once NVFlash finishes, my GTab displayed that a recovery key had been detected! And I got into recovery!!

NVFlash hung up on Step 9 of Part II... and I started to panic... But after another round of repartitioning, clearing data/caches, and a little more fiddling... I am now the proud owner of a GTab running Bottle of Smoke Honeycomb! That reboots and everything :) HC is bad a$$... A little shaky stability wise but awesome to see what's to come.

[Epic 4G General] lattiboy:
So, I don't post too often, but I lurk a lot and like to think I'm pretty experienced with different ROMs. I've used Midnight, ACE, Bonsai, Frankenstein, and a few others. All of them pretty great in their own way. The devs involved are dedicated and brilliant and when you think of the base they were working from, they did nothing short of dark magic. I can't wait to see what they do with this amazing release.

Today, I'm officially back to (rooted) stock. Here's why:

The things I look for in a ROM are battery life, speed, and stability. I think that's a pretty standard list for your average XDA member. EF02 meets and exceeds every item on that list.

First for foremost is battery life. I see that some users are reporting atrocious battery life and some (like me) amazingly (ridiculously good!) battery life. I've been using the phone almost non-stop for 5.5 hours now and I'm still at 58%. That's with some netflix, Rdio streaming, calls, tons of txts, Doggcatcher through the main speaker at full volume, and endless configuration, installs, and tweaking. I'm coming from Bonsai which has some pretty amazing battery life, but it's (seemingly) geared more towards "standby" battery endurance and always drained quickly when I was using my phone a lot. I thought this might be a fluke, but I've rebooted twice now and battery stayed within 2%. All I did was plug in over night and ran battery calibration (the market app) this morning.

Other than that, everything just WORKS. GPS locks stupid fast (after clearing a-data state). 3g/4g. Almost no FCs. Wi-Fi doesn't disconnect. No volume stuttering. No bluetooth weirdness. Nada. It just WORKS!

I was playing asphault, Backbreaker football, and recording HD video today, everything was snappy and flawless. When you consider it's RFS, stock speeds, with bloat and no governor or scheduler tweaks I really am in awe of what the Epic has under the hood and how solid SamSprint have made this.

There's been a lot of contention about how to apply this. There's a flashable rooted/deoxed version out now, but just by nature of that install procedure, I think you're best to use Odin to flash the EF02 tar and then the CWM tar and then flash the su in recovery. Those are the steps I did and I'm running rock solid.

My setup:

EF02 Odin'd

Launcher Pro w/ twitter and gmail widgets (although TW was feeling great when I was tweaking the phone)

Rdio widget

Data and background sync enabled

Screen timeout 30 seconds

Wi-Fi on most the time

SwiftKey (although the new Swype is pretty great)

PS I flashed the zip version last night and had endless issues. Battery heat, no GPS, no audio, wonky data, and eventually a boot loop of death. Odin the way I described above got rid of all the issues.

[Epic 4G General] latinmaxima:
I have to agree. I followed the OP steps myself as soon as it launched. I am debating on flashing the kernel out but will wait till something else is out. I prefer more app space so staying on odex for now. I have been removing bloat apps that I dont want slowly to ensure nothing is acting funny. I didn't have to clear agps o nothing for my gps to work properly with that set up. I am running ef10 modem.
