I had the same issue when the new build came out. Unfortunately, there is no fix. Something got broken in the background. My advice would be to camp out slayher's IRC to let him know. Unfortunately my power is out due to a massive storm and it's not expected to be back online for days (I'm tethered to my phone right now).
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] MLoeffler:
I'm having the same problem. I've tried the VVM app on the market and also a VVM zip update I found on a different forum. Both return an error that they can't contact the voicemail server.

I found posts elsewhere about using youmail or google voice.. I tried youmail but didn't like it. I'd prefer to just have verizon visual voicemail, I don't mind the $3 charge!

Hi everyone!

For some time now I have been researching on how to make my GPS on my phone (Samsung Vibrant T959 Froyo 2.2) work the way it should. I have tried everything with failure until a few months ago.

I wanted to share my success with everyone. I know this GPS bug has been a thorn on everyone's side.

I do hope this works for everyone who trys it. If you have my phone it will. If you have a different phone it should

As of today I finally found a rock solid configuration that actually works and I would not be posting my findings on this website if it was not a solid fix.

It does involve going into the phones GPS settings. You will only need to do this once. I have tested this only on my Samsung Vibrant (T959) for over 2 months. As of today I still receive 12 satellites with 5 to 7 fixes. For the first fix ranges from 1 second to a Max of 15 seconds. Accuracy ranges from 10 feet to 37 feet. Remember, this is inside my home and not outside. Outside is even better of course.

If everyone who trys this please post your findings along with your cell phone info. This way anyone who reads this can possablity benefit from it.

GPS FIX For Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S (T959):

Please follow to the letter.

Update your phone to froyo 2.2 if you can. I don't think its necessary.

Go to your dialer and enter

this line below

*#*#3214789650#*#*

You should now see your phones

menu(lbstestmode).

Select - Application Settings.

Check each setting and match

To what you see below.

Session Type = Tracking

Test Mode = S/W Test*Operation Session Mode = M S Based

Start Mode = Hot Start

GPS Plus = On

Dynamic Accuracy = On*

Accuracy = 100*

GPS Logging = Off

Go back once. This will bring you back to the main menu.

Now SELECT SUPL/CP

Match what you see here to the

settings you see on your phone.

Server FQDN Type

= Custom Configuration

Server = supl.google.com

Server Port = 7275

Secure Socket = On*

AGPS Mode = SUPL

Now go back until you see your dialer or home screen.

REBOOT YOUR PHONE!

Go into the Android Market and Search for Samsung GPS Restore.

Download and Install GpsRestore.

Now search for GPS Doctor. You will need to purchase this. If it does not work for you, you can get a refund as long as you quickly do the refund. I used the purchased one which I know works.

Once you install both apps run GPS Doctor first! This must be run first. Run this first then select manual fix. Do all three options first. Then select advanced operations and run each one. You should only need to run this once. Close out gpsdoctor.

Now run GPSRestore. Once you get all green, then your done.

REBOOT

Then

REBOOT AGAIN!"

Check out your GPS useing any or your GPS apps.

I hope this works for you. If you have a question Ill be glad to help.

BTW I do not own any of these programs or promote them.

John

It actually works

It works. You dont need gps doctor. You dont need samsung gps restore. Change the settings,reboot phone. You can use any gps test app to get the stats. Thanks alot for this worked great on the vibrant. Some early production vibrants have a gps antenna problem :( I doubt this would work on those.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] djrocktheboat:
Worked for me

I have a Samsung Vibrant I purchased new in July 2010. Earlier this year I upgraded it to 2.2. This solution fixed my GPS. The only issue I ran into was with GPS Restore. GPS Restore kept giving me a fail message but that doesn't seem to matter. My GPS is working great.

Thank you for posting this easy fix.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] adjidica:
This worked for me on my stock 2.2. Thank you. First time i've been able to get GPS lock.

I didn't buy GPS doctor or get the restore app. Made the changes, rebooted, and now get a lock in about 20 seconds.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chocnroll:
thanks, very usefull !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chetan_saini:
GPS fix

Works great, no need of other apps just make the mentioned settings....

locking on the satellites in less then 20 seconds
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jevation:
GPS works again thank you

The solution worked like a charm. I am not a programmer by all means so after following each step very carefully (except downloading the apps) my friggin GPS works again! I am super grateful to you guys and gals of the forums!!! :) :) :)

Worked for me

Finally a GPS Fix that worked for me! Running ICS Passion 13.1 & kernel 3.1.10 ICS Kiss Yum Yum Good#2 and nothing worked so far. Hardware fix, other kernels etc. found that thread today and gave it a shot. I could not open the menu (lbstestmode) but I entered the information under Angry GPS.The phone finds birds now all the time. Could not believe it, but now the phone is finally as it should be. Perfect & Thank you

it just show error under wifi setting.

so ,i flash back to 1.02,it is ok now.

i want to know is that my problem or the rom`s?
[Verizon Droid Charge] AnalyzeFaith:
Killed 17GB last month. Now my tether kicks on, I start a download, it drops slowly and crashes. My phone browser even looses internet and I still have "4G." I am just curious to see if anyone else is having the same issue.
[Verizon Droid Charge] streetlightman:
you probably are. none of what i'm going to say is verified but my friend told me that verizon will give you 5GB of 4g and then drop you down to 3g. in addition, if you are in the top 5-10% of users of data for a month you will be throttled and they will probably look at what you're doing too.

using 17gb on your phone is not a smart thing to do and you shouldn't do it again. all it does is take bandwidth from others and cause verizon to go to tiered data plans
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
I used 34gb last month and the month before I used 26gb. I'm not being throttled. My billing month just started and ive burned 6gb already too.

But I wouldn't be surprised if they started throttling me. Lol. Its definitely possible.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blahdc:
Do you work for verizon?

Why is downloading 20gb+ of data bad? If I'm paying for unlimited data that is what I should get. I will take full advantage of it unitl they force us all onto the tiered plans. They can look around all they want at what I'm downloading, I don't care.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tornlogic:
Ever hear, "takes on bad apple to ruin it for the rest?"

Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.

It's uwhy prices are the way they are. I hope they are throttling abusive users.
[Verizon Droid Charge] madsquabbles:
you can and should because you pay for it. the prices are rising, because companies need to find ways to make shareholders happy by making more expensive crappier services. if what netflix says is true then that 17GB cost verzion less than a dollar.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
With 4G phones it will be commonplace to use that much data. Look at all the streaming media services that come preinstalled and others that are available like netflix. Peoples data usage will continue to increase and the carriers know it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
You are paying for unlimited data for your PHONE not unlimited data for whatever you feel like downloading from whatever device you have. If you were downloading more then 3-4GB on your phone in a month, I'd love to know how you did it, even with 4G. If you have a tethering plan and it is unlimited, then go for it, but if you're going to complain about the data caps and throttling when being part of the problem, GTFO.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lakas187:
I am currently at 41 gb, no problems so far. I did sign up for the unlimited tethering the day it launched though. It was a no brainer for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] frogdod:
A whole bunch of tornlogic going on in here. From people I would not expect it from either.

IMO download as much as you want.anyway you want. Throttling is BS.

Its your right to try and screw them and if course they are taking full advantage of their right to screw you.

But we will find a way around these tier data plans just like we find a way around everything else they shackle us with.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mohsseni:
A single movie stream could be more than a gigabyte. If i watch one movie a day i could easly hit 30+ gigabytes. That is just streaming to the phone. Correct me if im wrong but that's the point right.
[Verizon Droid Charge] binglejellsx2:
If the bold statement is true, then I wholly agree with this argument. With all the services being offered for the mobile devices, it will be much easier to burn through GB of data. A phone doesn't have to be tethered to anything to stream media.

HBO Go looks like it is streaming low quality video, sometimes worse than YouTube. Netflix, however, looks very crisp and clear and I suspect uses much more data. Sometimes even YouTube HQ looks superb. The last two streaming services probably use a boatload of bandwidth, all legally of course.

This hasn't even taken into account streaming audio with high quality from services like Pandora or Slacker Radio. And yes, the difference between low quality and high quality is very noticeable.

With that said, I really do not know for a fact exactly how much data a movie stream is using. It is just easier these days to use more data with access to high quality streaming media. The service providers probably realize this, and it is probably their justification for going into tiered plans and protecting their assets. This way, when their infrastructure does catch up to the demand, we the users are used to paying more. At this point the service providers might not feel the need to lower prices back to what they once were - it's all just profit.
[Verizon Droid Charge] eric2112:
Got my charge the day before the tiered pricing on data started and am grandfathered in on the unlimited plan. Still lookin for loopholes on how I can keep it that way.

In the three days of having the phone, I had racked up 1.2gb in data. That was just from downloading a few apps and themes as well a moderate pandora usage. Lately, I have been turning off my mobile data and using wifi anytime it's available.

VZW has been talking about moving to a tiered pricing structure for quite some time now. It's rather sad that they push all of the benefits of blazing fast data, then jack up the prices once people are hooked. Fact of the matter is, that from a coverage standpoint, I have nowhere else to go, and they know it.

The ball is in big red's court now. They may lose customers. They may not. But, until I have a more viable solution, I will have to pay.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Could you legitimately rack up several GB/mo streaming media? Yes. Are you going to? Doubtful. Who watches 30+ movies on their phone in a month? You're going to tie yourself to a wall outlet, and given that everyone already complains about bad battery life, you aren't watching that many movies, or that many YouTube videos on your phone.

I could see streaming high quality Pandora, but then again, it seems that everyone here is to cheap to pay for Pandora, so after your 40 hrs are up, there goes your usage, and I doubt you'd get over say 10GB using Pandora for 40 hrs as I can't see even their "high quality" stream being to significant in terms of the bit rate.

Can we use more data now? Most certainly, and 4G only lets us do it faster, but be reasonable in your assumptions. Who has time to watch a movie on their phone every day of the month, or would even want to do so? I'd rather watch a movie on a crappy tube TV before I sat and watched one full movie on my phone. Streaming music is about the only reasonable excuse people have, even with the nice display on the Charge making video look good. Even then, there is no way you're going to use 30+GB every month just on your phone unless you have it constantly plugged in.
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
does Verizon need tiered plans? Honestly I agree with the fact that you pay for unlimited you get unlimited, no matter how you achieve it. Verizon should just make their hotspot free and then throttle that and put a cap on that is more reasonable than forcing everyone into a data plan that doesn't fit their needs... Verizon is out to screw people so is att and all the rest. Verizon wouldn't have gone to tiered if it weren't for their competition doing the same. One company does one thing all the rest follow suit. Come on verizon! what i pay $100 for insurance or something and if my phone breaks i still have to pay 100$ for a new phone?( I'm sorry refurbished..someone elses broken fix POS) What the heck good is insurance then? The economy is falling apart because of companies doing this. And people pay because they cant get out without a fee and they have no where to go because all the other companies either lack in service or are doing the same practice. Companies are suing each other for millions sometimes billions like its toy cash. That's proof they are ripping off the end user. Where does alll this money come from that should be used to invest in their company not throw it around in other companies faces. Heck was this a common practice even 10 years ago? NO. Cell phone companies have users by the nads and are not going to let go anytime soon
[Verizon Droid Charge] Requills:
I agree with the OP. If Verizon sells unlimited data, it is their responsibility to provide it. Reaching over ten gb a month is easily achievable (I had one gb in my first day). Just because customers like the OP take advantage of their unlimited data does not mean they should be punished for it with a throttle. IMO, throttling is false advertising. Now, I can see throttling for those who tether through root and rack up an excessive amount of data. However, as long as it's on the phone, its rudiculous to throttle.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrtruckincowboy:
wow this is a heated thread.

I have both the unlimited on phone and unlimited on the hotspot and ill keep this phone forever if i have to do that to keep it.

I am a truckdriver so i dont have the option of jumping on the house internet everyday and i pay for my netflix so im going to use it and that uses alot of bandwith.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Hope you aren't using that Netflix/Mobile Hotspot while driving your trucks :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] lakas187:
This is how I racked up the majority of my gb's. Netflix on the big screen in hd.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ravanous:
Thats exactly what I did 4 years ago when I drove for Schnieder.

well not netflix but other means of watching movies.

Its very easy to rack up some GB's.

Now when I go on road trips, this phone is going to get used.

When its slow at work on night shift, this phone is going to get used.

imnuts,

I use my phone for entertainment and sending video's I make on the spot to my friends and family, So yes I'm going to use some GB's.

You use your phone to give us great kernal goodies and secure roms, and all the other stuff you do.

its not just a phone any more, its movies on the go, music, video chat/phone calls, online gaming on demand.

Verizon, AT&T are just trying to nickle and dime us and get it set up so people will except a tier'd plan, and pay for usage.

a lie will become the truth, if enough people believe it is true.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shiphtfour:
Throttling only retards the technological development of phones and related services. It is clear that users are going to consume more and more data as our lives become increasingly intertwined with the internet. There are countless services out there all ready that can easily bring a users monthly data to well over 10GB: Netflix, Pandora, Google Music, etc. I think it is funny that companies in the cellphone business like Google and Apple are pushing so hard for cloud storage services when service providers are only continuing to restrict the amount of data their customers are allowed to use. It's obvious that in 2-3 years, using over 10GB per month is going to be the norm.

For the user who claimed it was absurd for someone to stream 30GB of netflix movies a month, but that it would be reasonable if it was a music service such as Pandora or Google Music, how does your argument hold up against cable internet usage? As a freelance video editor, I upload and download hundreds of gigabytes of data per month on my cable connection at home, as it is necessary for my job. But say someone else consumes the same amount of bandwidth per month purely on porn? Sure it is absurd for someone to be watching that much porn, but should they be throttled for it? No. They are paying for the service and should be allowed to use it however they want. And with HDMI out features common on phones today, using your data plan to stream lots of movies is quite normal.

Allowing companies to throttle data usage only enables them to continue to make huge profits off their customers without having to put that money back into improving the infrastructure of their service.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ravanous:
this is for imnuts

smart phones are going to become core systems.

Do you think what At&T did to the docking system of motorola atrix is right?

Tethering fee's for a keyboard and bigger screen?
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
I pay for Pandora! lols.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tornlogic:
Woah! Who said anything about capping people's unlimited data plan? I don't believe that's what this topic started out as, but has ended up as an empty argument that people's unlimited plans should be in fact unlimited. I totally agree with everyone that my unlimited data plan needs to be just that, unlimited.

I just think people's speeds need to be throttled when they get all abusive with downloading 40gb of netflix and p0rn a month. Honestly? You really need all that data a month on a mobile device? Well if you do, fine, but you're sucking valuable bandwidth, making everyone else's connection slower. And when I'm out in the field and need to send files back and forth from my mobile device and co-workers at the lab, I just hope there doesn't come a day when speeds have dropped to a crawl because of netflixing stay at home Dad's watching Dora the Explorer with their 2 year olds over hdmi on the 52" LCD. Dude, that's what cable is for. And for the truck drivers out there who watch a movie every night on netflix, cool. But I bet you $20 your not getting 4G speeds out in the middle of Iowa anyway. Netflix works just fine over 3g. Ask any DroidX user.

Sure, download a ROM or 4 a month over 4G. Nobody is gonna complain over that. That's not what I'm saying. It's just that top 5% of bandwidth whores now will become the top 75% tomorrow, and then we all suffer. And nobody should be cut off, just throttled back to late 2000's technology until the next billing cycle, and let people with actual work to do, finish their work so they can get home at a decent time. Then when I get home, I'll watch netflix over Comcast where it should be watched for the masses.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mohsseni:
I have a 2 1/2 hour trip on the bus/train to work and back almost every day. I live in Denver so i get 4g the whole way. I watch hulu and netflix as well as having a paid pandora account. I charge the phone at work and home and i almost never teather. Is it wrong that i used 25+ gb last month. Why should i be throttled or capped.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Turb0wned:
Throttling is ONLY done to those Verizon customers that signed up on or after feb 10th (iphone release date).
[Verizon Droid Charge] AnalyzeFaith:
ANYWAYS. Back to my topic "Is anyone being throttled?" Ill make sure to make a topic asking everyones view, not really. But can we get back to topic here? I dont know what some of you call abusing but me. I am a verizon rep, pay 28 bucks with taxes for all my features including UNLIMITED hotspot. Thats why I made this topic.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sundar2012:
I think i just got throttled after syncing most of my music library up with my phone (on the Thunderbolt). Its just a one time thing and 4g is faster than my home internet...****in A.
[Verizon Droid Charge] lakas187:
50+ GB's and still no throttle...

Damn, thats a lot.

While I was creating a way to port Zefei's CM7 to the Optimus V with working MMS, I guess I accidentally created a way to port a different Gingerbread Rom as well. The MMS works on this port! Thanks to Raul720 for figuring this out.

Post bugs here if you run into any.

Known Issues:

No voice search button for now. I remapped it to the power button.

160+ character SMS auto split doesn't work like it is supposed to. See below for a work around.

TIPS, TRICKS, AND FIXES:

1) Voicemail - Go to Settings/Call Settings/Voicemail Settings and change "*86" to YOUR phone number. You can now hold 1 to check voicemail in the dialer.

2) Proximity Sensor - Go to Settings/Call Settings and check "Always use proximity" to fix proximity sensor during calls.

3) Electron Beam - Open Settings/CyanogenMod Settings/Display and Check both Screen Animation boxes.

4) Split SMS - Open Messaging, Push Menu button, Select Settings, Check "SMS split" and "Split counter" to auto-split messages over 160 characters.

5) Battery Percentage - Go to Settings/CyanogenMod Settings/Interface/Status bar tweaks, you can check "Battery Percentage" to enable battery percentage in the status bar.

6) Front Key Wake - Flash this from recovery if you want all the front keys to wake the phone: Optimus_V_Key_Swap_signed.zip

7) Wrong Timezone - Settings > Date and time > Uncheck automatic. Then select the proper timezone. Finally, recheck automatic, and it should be fixed. (Thanks Eollie!)
