Ah, thank you! That would explain it, if he's using an older version.

I'm pretty sure ES File Explorer has root access and is free, and I *think* supports .rar files.

Just pay the money for the newest version Root Explorer. It's the best there is and it is WELL WORTH $3.
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
It would be awesome if someone would create a CWM Recovery zip of these two files. :)

I lack the technical expertise to do it myself.
[Vibrant Android Development] quadratic:
This was working great for me all day yesterday, but today it sometimes won't start without a reboot or just won't lock. Is anyone else having problems?
[Vibrant Android Development] swehes:
I use AndroZip for extracting the file and super manager to copy the file into systems.
[Vibrant Android Development] OPTheory:
Same. Never got a lock.
[Vibrant Android Development] thermanlee:
Got it working on MIUI 7.15, locked to 9 meters in about 30 seconds outside, not so much inside. I am one of the fortunate ones that has had continual good luck with the GPS regardless of rom, though.

Navigation was working well, but it had some issues keeping me in my lane. No recalculation or anything, just looked like I was driving drunk or something.

Thanks so much for this!
[Vibrant Android Development] roffee:
If you used msbased, maybe your current area don't have AGPS signal.
[Vibrant Android Development] svladimir:
Sometimes it doesn't work for me in google maps, for example. But then I open GPS Test and get the signal in 20 seconds.
[Vibrant Android Development] quadratic:
GPS Test indicates that it has acquired AGPS data, so I don't think it's that. After rebooting it'll work once (the GPS indicator in the status bar flashes), but never lock. GPS Test never sees any satellites. If I try again, it just won't start until a reboot.

I've tried replacing gpsd even though it's unchanged and permissions are correct. I've tried switching modes and clearing settings and starting over. I'm not sure what else to try, but I'll keep at it...
[Vibrant Android Development] jrod33084:
I'm also one of the unfortunate one I guess. My GPS doesn't turn on after a reboot and it doesn't find any satellites whatsoever :(
[Vibrant Android Development] t1h5ta3:
i have one of the relese day ones with the bad connector. i did the hardware mod over the winter (avg sn went from low teens to upper 20's)

best cold ttf on any other rom was about 30 sec.

with this fix it was 3.3-12 sec over 20 tests INDOORS WITH NO WINDOWS
[Vibrant Android Development] zhuzf:
I have no problem. Perhaps you need to reinstall the ROM and gpsd.
[Vibrant Android Development] roffee:
i meet this problem before replace gpsd from trigger build12. sometime it's good, sometime it's bad.

so do you update rom with new gpsd?
[Vibrant Android Development] zhuzf:
I think most guys are testing GPS indoors. It is quite unstable in my experience.

Test your Vibrant GPS outside.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
You've referenced this hardware fix a few times... can you link to the thread? I agree the GPS performance is bad enough that it seems like a physical hardware issue.

****ing Samsung...
[Vibrant Android Development] thermanlee:
I'll vouch for this instability. With 2.2 roms, i could get a lock inside, but not every time, and it would keep one that I had acquired outdoors. With this fix, I get a good lock outside, and it goes away as soon as I go inside. With navigation, it keeps up while driving under a bridge, but if you're sitting underneath one at a stop light, it keeps a lock but goes a bit awry.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrod33084:
I updated to nightly 56 then did what the OP stated. When we replace the gpsd file do we change any of the permissions or leave it as it is?
[Vibrant Android Development] zhuzf:
Agree! This fixed GPS is not so good as the one in Froyo, the accuracy is not satisfying enough.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
First time I left permissions alone and it kinda worked. Second time I matched permissions to the original file and it worked better.
[Vibrant Android Development] DAKIDD236:
After doing this hardware fix and installing the files mentioned in the OP, I've got my first satellite lock on CM7!
[Vibrant Android Development] alawadhi3000:
Works like a charm, 10+ satellites.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] malevolent000:
I can attest to this fix, its pretty simple to do and the pay off is well worth it. After the fix, gps works wonders. Dont expect it to be perfect but a lot more accurate than without.
[Vibrant Android Development] jcallina:
Running CM7 nightly #59. Outside, clear sky. 11 sats 18 ft. accuracy when sitting still in my car. I did the hardware fix while still on Froyo.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrod33084:
I did the hardware fix and the steps in the OP on nightly 56 and still can't even find any satellites :[ bummer!
[Vibrant Android Development] svladimir:
Fixed GPS is awesome...except one thing: it doesn't handle lost signal very well. Sometimes at all I'd say.

So it doesn't know the signal is lost (I'm in a car for example for example, no access to windows) and starts showing some crazy locations. And then when I move the phone to an open space it still doesn't update to normal (I guess this's because it didn't know signal was lost and has to be re-captured)
[Vibrant Android Development] barribow:
just out of curiosity, why this fix is not going into cm7 nightlies?
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
How do you know it's not?
[Vibrant Android Development] barribow:
Good point, but if it is then there is no point people use this. Also, I didn't see in the change log of cm7
[Vibrant Android Development] equlizer:
im using 151 and its not there. i get 2 sats and thats it :( im using the telus version.
[Vibrant Android Development] deus_:
Working for me. For the first time since I bought by Vibrant(and moved to MIUI). I love you guys :D
[Vibrant Android Development] nickmcminn60:
For people not getting locks:

Download GPSTest from here: https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result

install GPSTest

turn on: use gps and use wireless only (do not turn on gps assist) settings/my location is where these settings are.

reboot the phone and be outside

after media scanner is finished running go open gpstest

after u get a lock go use whatever app you want
[Vibrant Android Development] early81:
is this working even for cm7 con samsung captivate???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endor43:
Let me start this by saying I do not use google maps app very often so I am unable to pinpoint the exact time, it went from being usable, but it definitely happened after a rom or kernel flash.

I went from

early stock rom->CFROOTKE2->Cognition 1.02->infusion 1.02ish->Cog 1.08->BacklashKG1 kernel->Infusion 1.07->infusion 2.0full.

I know that I hap map functionality on cognition 1.02, but i've only had my GS2 for about 2 wks.

I discovered maps didnt work after the latest Infusion, and have tried:

A. enabling and diasabling packet data, gps etc.

B. flashing different modems (ie the one from cog 1.02 and latest)

C. Reflashing (with wipes of data, cache, dalvik etc) old versions of cog and infusion1.07

D. Stopping GMaps app and clearing data.

E. And yes, even being inside vs outside.

I also do not backup my phone using google

Through all this, my data connection works for browser and market and I have had no extra apps installed except for the ones that came with the roms.

But when I get on google maps 5.7 it gives me this error:

"Network failure: This application requires a working data connection"

But google maps in browser works with gps functionality.....

I am on China Unicom for the moment and my apn settings are:

3gnet-

Everything not set except for

MCC 460

MNC 01

APN Type: internet

3gwap-

Everything not set except for

MMSC "the url" (xda wont let me post links yet :))

MMS proxy 10.0.0.172

MMS port 80

MCC 460

MNC 01

APN type mms

The blank stuff doesnt seem to affect my 3g connection, but I dont know too much about apn.

Oh, and this happens on wifi as well, with stock wpa_supplicant and wpa_supplicant modded for adhoc.

I dont want to just chalk it up to China being China, because it worked before, and when I leave China, I'd obviously like it to work back in the States.

I've looked at several other pertinent posts on xda but none of them seem to have the answer...

So I'd really appreciate some help, as I've tried everything that i can think of and seem to have his a dead end. And sorry for the wall of text!, I just want to make sure I give you guys all the info.

Best,

Endor
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marthyaya:
There is a way!

All you need to do is use VPN in your mobile and open maps. It will work after that even if you disconnect from VPN. :) Msg me if after trying!:cool:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endor43:
Oh btw, I fixed it.

I flashed to stock KE1 and kernel unrooted, and it just worked. So I backed up the Google maps 5.2.1 and data, and flashed back to latest infusion 2.0. Maps 5.7 didnt work again, but i uninstalled street and maps and restored to the old versions and it works now... odd.... because 5.7 worked before...

Thanks to Marthyaya anyways! If I have any more problems, I'll try your suggestion. I just happened to fix it before seeing your post.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravisghosh:
Hey marthyaya, could you please explain how to do this? I do not have any VPN details to connect with.
[HTC EVO 3D] el_chamuco:
Sup guys.

I'm been looking around the xda, and the web and I saw that apparently, the Samsung galaxy s2 will be unleashed the 24 if this month, so I just would like to know how many of u will be moving from the 3rd dimension to another galaxy, cuz personally my experience wit the 3d sucks, wit all the problem that I had, and been in my 4 device, I'm not pretty comfortable wit it. And by the vids that i saw in YouTube this gs2 look a lot more faster and promising than the e3d so wat u think

[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
Look, if you don't like the phone, then that's fine. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Just don't come in here, crying and whinning that YOU messed up your phone. Once you learn how to take proper care of your device, perhaps you won't have that many problems. My 3D is perfect, I haven't had any problems with it.

Also, I think you better go on and GEET over to the SGS2 forums. Maybe they wouldn't mind hearing you guys cry like little babies about how Samsucks won't wipe your ass right. If you love Samsucks so much, then leave, cuz I sure won't miss hearing you guys cry anymore.

^^^^^^^ Totally agree. You want information on a Dodge truck or to talk shyte about Ford trucks, you don't go to the Ford Forum to do it.

If he typed with an irish or portuguese accent and I called him out on it like I did above, would that still be racist? I don't think so.
[HTC EVO 3D] mcmikecruz1:
you didn't say he typed in an accent you said like a Mexican , what type of Mexican ? im sure there Mexicans that can type and speak proper English better than both of us .

not trying to argue or accuse you of being anything I was just a little offended and im not even Mexican that's all .

I should of said racial not racist that's a strong word no hard feelings :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Bukem75:
While I do get disappointed with people taking up a cause that ain't theirs to begin with, no hard feelings here, dude. :D

I see where you are going with this, but I still don't think I need to defend my making fun of his 'typed mexican accent' since I stand by my original Irish comment. Hell, I didn't even make any racial jokes. (EX: if he was typing with an Irish accent, I coulda called him Lucky Charms). I just took a well deserved pot-shot at his lame ass single-core thread.

My thoughts when I said that were centered only on religious moderates that generally give a pass to excuse their religious zealots. As an Atheist, I am generally considered to be part of the most disliked and distrusted group of people in America. I've felt my share of hate and distrust. Feel free to jump to my aide some time.

I hate to stay off topic but I feel the need to reply.

1st, using the excuse that you are persecuted therefore you can as well only perpetrates the problem.

2nd, Those "religious zealouts" are simply just as bad, and I'm almost sure I know how you feel, but by fighting them you only add strength to their convictions, however noble and misguided they may be.

I am a Christian, and I will not preach to you (my future vocation), but will say that I would defend you, as needed.

[HTC EVO 3D] rejectedkid:
I swear it seems as though everyone that troll flames in this EVO3d forums either is under the age of 10 or just complete pricks. This is a general subforum. General means just that GENERAL. Do you really have nothing better to do than troll everyone's thread and flame them?. Get a life! If the guy wants to talk about a different phone in a general forum he has that right.. if you do not like it move on and don't read his or her posting.. if this was in anything other than general I could understand the flames but its not! These forums used to be about people helping others now it has just turned into teenage pimple popping premature jerk offs..

I don't get it. What racist jokes are those?

I am from California also. But I know how to spell.

Wrong forum OP. This belongs in the Samsung Galaxy SII forum.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bukem75:
I thought the guy typed with a freaking accent. His nickname lead me to think he was mexican. I see nothing racist with my comments or see them with any persecutory tones.

So you would rather let the extremists get away with 'murder' rather than confront them and at least let them know what they is wrong?

I was a christian (southern baptist) until I saw the light. I would be happy to point you toward a few of my friends (ex preachers) that are A now... Might be fun to talk with you outside of here some time also.

The phone hasn't been out that long and I suspect many updates to the phone in the future that will resolve most of the issues that people have. I'm not quite sure how you are on your '4th' device. What kind of issues were you having? And more importantly, what the hell do you do to your cell phones that cause you to return them so much? Hopefully when you move on to better pastures, your SGS2 will work 100% completely out of the box; no issues whatsoever with Samsung, am I correct in that assumption? Your SGS2 should bring you much pleasure. I hear that it can print out $100 dollar bills and have sexual intercourse with you at the same time!
