Did you recenlty update cwm? I know a few people were having problems after upgrading. Take the battery out, put it back in and hold volume down+power to enter the bootloader and see if you are able to get to recovery that way.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilcuber:
How did u get to recovery? Vol down+power or reboot into recovery option?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rviperx:
I had to use Rom Manager to back up my rom, but it wouldn't let me do anything else. Somehow it started worked normally in the morning. I think it was the new update to clockwork..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
There was an update changing it from 5.0.0.1 to 5.0.1.0 its all sorted itself out now,just tested 3 times rebooting to recovery and 3 times using adb worked everytime
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
I was reading that the samsung galaxy sII is also having the standard GPS problem that samsung is famous for. If you dont now what Im talking about, go use an HTC phone and watch the phone instantly lock on your position in <1 second with 3ft accuracy while you are indoors..

my Charge has been "Acceptable" when using GPS, but lately it has taken upwords of 20 min and a few reboots to get a lock on my location. Using GPS test, and Faster Fix do not work. GPS test just sits there showing me 9 satellites in view but locking on none.

apparently there is an update for the SGSII that actually fixes this problem.

http://phandroid.com/2011/05/23/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-gets-ke7-update-through-kies/

So to the devs that are in the know, where is the GPS modem firmware located? It is not in the base band modem sets as I was thinking. Is there a way we can use the sgsII update on our phones?

I love my charge, and Gummy2.0 is amazing... but I need a working GPS, the damn thing cost me a job interview yesterday when it refused to lock and get me to the place on time.

-cheers
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
I agree that the charge may not lock quite as fast as some of the HTC phones I have owned, but my GPS performance is certainly acceptable.

I am running gummy 1.9.1 and just returned from a one week trip all over New England and my GPS worked just fine the whole way. I used it MANY times to find locations I had no idea how to get to and it worked perfectly every time.

I used GPS Test Plus & did the XDA tweaks & it really does work just fine.

~John
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
My gps was working acceptable for a while. In fact since updating to gummy 2.0. I have no idea if roms change the gps firmware. I expect not. But this is why I am looking for a way to verify the gps firmware. Then the problem can be tracked down easier.

I know I am not the only one with gps problems. And I am a very heavy gps user. Something is definatly different now.. my gps is non functional in its current state.

Make sure you guys turn off google location and verizon location services and only use stand alone gps and test with gpstest app before saying your gps works fine.

My problem is basicly this.. I turn on google maps and it will simply fail to get a location. I don't get the arrow with the large circle with an accuracy of 1600 feet.. it just says 'unable to determine location'. And then quits.

So back to my OP. Where do we find the version number of the gps firmware?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
Maybe I'm just lucky, but I just fired up GPS Test Plus & in under 30 seconds it said nine satellites visible with eight in use. I then fired up Google Maps & the arrow was right on top of the building I work in.

~John
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
By the way, I am a LONG TIME GPS/NAV user & understand how it works.

My first Garmin unit had a B&W screen with no background map..... :rolleyes:

ok Ive tried it both ways

1. place the file onto sd and try and install and it says not installed

2. move to sys/app through root explorer and try and and says does not install.

Do I have to delete the existing google search or should it just overwrite it like what he said above?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SocialReject:
You're not "installing" anything. You're just moving the apk to the sys/ app folder. You overwrite the original. You may want to copy the original onto your sd just in case but it worked just fine for me.

Reloaded the widget and bam...

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
I tried that as well but al I get is the stock browser...

Download the apk to the sd< place apk on to sys\app through root explorer and without installing.. doesn't ask to to over write or anything but just lists 2 browers in the app directory.. I reboot and still get the stock? Not sure what gives. I'm a noob but not a total noob lol

Usually when this issue happens I just delete the orgininal apk and install the new one but that doesn't seem to work either
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
Put the new apk in system/app, then reboot. That's it.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Towboat_man:
Do everything through Root Explorer!!!!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SocialReject:
Hmm.. it should just replace the "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk"

When you move/paste into system > apps it doesn't even ask you to overwrite?

I'll look into it.

Sent from the future.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
Maybe try deleting the old one first then pushing the new one. When I pushed it with existing one there, it put a (1) next to it so there must be a slight variance between the two causing it to not overwrite
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
nope, doesnt ask anything just places it in there so one will say GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk and the other will say "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk.1"

I think I think i tried that at one point. I try it again and report back. Ill post some pics when i get a chance later as well so you guys can see what Im doing exactly

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
That's what I did on the earlier one I posted but it was titled "GoogleQuickSearchBox(1)" so maybe that's why it didn't overwrite existing one. I can always rename it and post it as well. If the above works, it makes Root Explorer even better than I thought it was. That app does just about everything!

I tried renaming the zip file as well but no go if thats what you meanl. heres the pics if they help any to show if im doing anything wrong but dont see how I could screw this up

Running it through root explorer pro btw and tried it through adao as well.

first pic is the search browsers I ended up with above the miren icon, second is the sys/app dircotry I placed it in as suggested. I tried removing orginal but that just screwed it up and had to do a restore..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
Erase the (1) in the name, then make sure that's the only one there, then reboot

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
I did that. I got rid of the (1). This one should ask you to overwrite the old one when you push it to system/app with Root Explorer. http://db.tt/GtgIki6

Hey, i tried to install android on my HD2 several times and failed, but then i noticed i had wrong version of hspl so i couldn't start MAGLRD (i had 3.03 i think i should've had 2.08 right?) Anyway i then tried to remove the HSPL by formatting my sd card and putting the file from original rom (i don't remember the name) and renaming it to LEOIMG, it started installing the rom i went to another room, when i came back it had finished and was on the red/blue/green screen and it said update failed and i had to retry, but now none of the exes work like rom updates or task29 nothing. when i turn on the phone it says "Not allow" and then goes to the red/blue/green screen.

sofialoca, task29 is not a thing to be "installed". It's a flash formatting. So you did everything correctly and deleted all from your phone except.. hmmm... stick together.

To flash other rom - just press Volume Down and push reset (under the battery cover) KEEPING VOLUME DOWN PRESSED. Keep it pressed until you are again in bootloader mode. Then connect USB and flash whatever you want.

yes

yes its possible just get a phone thats 3g evdo enabled from virgin, buy an evo with a bad or good esn, copy nam and nav and meid from virgin 3g phone to evo, which you have to 0 out first.

You could call sprint and talk to them to let them know that it just went kaput. Just yesterday I was talking to a rep and they offered to credit the 100 dollar deductible from my next bill so the replacement would be free.. See if that is an option for you. Or if your under warranty go play dumb at the store. "Hey my phone wont turn on..." they'll probably ask you some questions about battery and all that so just have em put in a battery at the store or something and be like "see? idk whats up. can I have a new one?" worth a shot.

Even if they say no you can later call insurance company and make a claim stating you lost it...
