GPS working even after Tango update

I own samsung focus 1.3 (AT&T). I purchased it in the beginning of Sep. 2012 (quite late). As soon as I got the phone, I connected it to Zune for updates. After having updated to 7.10.7720.68, I started using the phone. The GPS did not work. I then updated it to 7.10.8773.98 with the hope that updates may make GPS working. I tried all possible tricks available on XDA as well as other forums. I tried following tricks with various permutation & combination:

(i) Pulling out the battery for 30 minutes.

(ii) Changing the MOLR CP/UP setting in GPS diagnostic to UP and CP (one by one),

(iii) Rebooting the phone with location off & again rebotting with location on

(iv) Apps like GPS info & others

& few more which I do not recall now.

After having tried for about a month, I reverted back to original OS version 7.0.7004.0 just to ascertain the availability/ functionality of GPS hardware as on some of the forums I read that their GPS stopped working after No-Do updates. The GPS did not work even after trying all above tricks on 7.0.7004.0 version of OS.

GPS did not work means - It never locked on Bing, Gmaps, etc. GPSinfo shows Mode as 'A-GPS' go to open sky. The location I used to get was based on Cell towers.

Finally I accepted my GPS to be faulty or not being there and again updated to latest OS version.

One day I read on some forum that putting off the location service & then switching on makes GPS working. Wow, I tried it today,

IT WORKED

. On bing map it locked, initially with a bigger circle & then reducing down to a dot. In areas covered with thick trees or high-rise buildings, the circle used to become bigger but again in clear sky area it used to reduce down to dot. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Let me observe for some more days to ascertain that this trick actually works.

Those who have not been able to make their GPS working with other tricks, please try this & let us have your feedback on this forum/ thread.
[Focus General] A. K. Jain:
In continuation to my previous post, the working of GPS is not reliable. It sometimes works very fine & some times doesn't work at all during the entire journey of 15 Km. You cannot depend on this GPS for navigational aid. It appears to be some software issue. But anyway, I am happy that my GPS is not faulty. Hoping for some fix in future which will make GPS work reliably.

High Fidelity Position

I'd also recommend checking out Samsung's high fidelity position app (explanation here: http://www.wpcentral.com/new-samsung-high-fidelity-position-enhances-gps-modifies-settings-mango) in the Samsung Zone in the marketplace. Might help. It made a big difference for me.
[Focus General] goldenpipes:
all the sudden about a week ago it seems like my sim card is not connedted to the phone. It doesnt say no sim but it seems like it loses all connection and the batttery needs to be pulled for it to connect. its very strange. I am running pre-mango 7712. I am going to flash back to 7004 to see if the problem still exists. Has anyone else with this phone (att) rev 1.3 had any issues where it seems that the sim card isnt connected? or maybe just the Antenna is lose inside? my phone has never been dropped. It slid out of my pocket when i was driving once but that shouldnt have damaged any soldering inside.
[Focus General] adiliyo:
my phone did that and it turned out that the contacts under the metal plate where the sim card slides in had broken off somehow.

but mine said no sim, so maybe you have some other issue.

as for my problem, after samsung fixed the phone, i haven't had any connection or sim issues on nodo, premango, or mango.
[Focus General] goldenpipes:
Yeah my phones not saying no sum. It is just losing connection. Like I have it charging sitting on a table and it will be fine. The I will pick it up use it for say 20 minutes. Then next thing I know there is no service. Battery pull, take the sum out put it back in power on and its back to working. Idk its very frustrating

maybe I should call at&t. I still have a few months on my waranty
[Focus General] goldenpipes:
well ive run out ideas i put my wifes simcard in to see if maybe it was just my sim and hers is doing the same thing. my sim is fine so its definitley the device. right now im actually using my good ol' samsung epix. gonna call att in the morning to see if i can get a replacement. or i might have to send it to samsung (hope not) i have flashed back to 7004 to see if it was some wierd bug. its not. it seems like the phone gets hotter than usual too. first noticed it the other day when i was using the maps at the state fair i kept losing signal and it was very hot in my palm. like i said before ive never really dropped this phone. its never got wet. im stumped.
[Focus General] adiliyo:
looks like a hardware issue, hopefully att will swap it out for convenience, for my issue, i had to mail it in to samsung, who took about a week to get it fixed and sent back, it was actually a pretty pleseant experience.
[Focus General] goldenpipes:
Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I was looking at it this morning and it kind of looks like the solder is loose where the pins connect to PCB. Wierd how this could happen its not like I swap out SIM cards all the time. After wiggling the whole simcard slot about a tad it seems like its holding up. Well see over the weekend.
[Focus General] mizad09:
i´ve been having the exact same problem so maybe is a software problem and not hardware my info is this:

im in a re 1.3

SGH-i917

SO VERSION 7.10.7712.60

FIRMWARE 2103.11.3.3

HARDWARE 3.1.0.7

BOOT 5.3.1.6

tell yours and see if is a matter of hardware or software
[Focus General] goldenpipes:
No it was hardware problem for me.

The guy at ATT took the phone apart right in front of me and the charger port fell off the PCB. It was a refurbished phone.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamhessy:
Does anyone know how to port a dialer from one rom to another? Specifically I am looking to use the dialer from this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1206653 or any of the other roms with a similar dialer to use on any of the available sense 3.0 roms such as this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1234722

I think the dialer from the Mytouch 4g is far superior to the dialer on the sense 3.0 roms we have now but the rest of the UI on those roms including the borders around all the icons sucks.

I have tried copying over the apks for the dialer and phone and have gotten nothing and when I tap on the phone it just says "Phone" and the dialer doesn't open. Is there something I'm missing here? Any help would be appreciated.

So the problem I have is when my headphones are plugged in, calls can not connect to my phone. People try to dial and it just disconnects, no ring or anything. When I try to dial out with headphones I don't get a ring either, just a disconnect.

I am wondering if this happens with all earphones or the HTC ones. Anyone else with this problem? And I am using 7720 RTM from Yuki/xbmod by the way
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jonobu:

Took awhile to figure out what was going on, you summarized it well. I have tested with other stereo headphones and encountered the same issue.

Have you had any luck in finding a fix?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] JonnieLasVegas:
I've had this problem, but it turned out it was the headphones I was using. My Dre beats work 2/3 of the time. But sometimes they act exactly as you described. Haven't had this problem at all wth any other headphones I've tested. Although I don't have any HTC headphones to test with. Hope this 2¢ can help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purgalm:
Hi,

I'm looking for an e-mail client for Android that would allow me to set up 'advanced' signatures for different accounts (i.e. images, tables, different colours, font sizes). It may be a "WYSIWYG" editor or import from html file - doesn't matter.

I guess that all the e-mail clients support IMAP, push, labels etc. so it's probably just the signatures setting ability that will make me choose the best one (I'm quite happy with the official Gmail client right now besides signatures).

Is there anything like that?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hey Guys,

I tried to root my Nexus S (GT-I9020), which somehow worked, but now I cant access the recovery anymore, which holds me from flashing other MODs.

Since I'm quite new to the flashing and rooting business, I do not really know how to describe the precise state of my Nexus S, so I'm going to tell what I did step-by-step, hoping that someone will find the error and help me fixing it.

I bought my phone and updated it via OTA to 2.3.4 (GRJ22).

I used this guide on nexusshacks.com to root my phone. The guide tells me to unlock the device and flash a custom recovery (clockwork-3.0.0.0.img) and a custom boot (rootboot.img). I got both images from this homepage.

After flashing these two images, I rebooted my phone and it stuck on the Google Logo (but with a opened lock underneath). Comments show, I was not the only one.

In the comments, the user "Taboom" proposes to download the official full rom of 2.3.4 (Downloaded from this XDA-Dev Post), and flash the boot.img from that. It helped, my system was able to boot and it was rooted.

Although I have a rooted system, which works perfectly fine, I cannot access my recovery anymore. So I downloaded the "ROM Manager" from the Market, let it download clockwork 5.0.1.0 and install it.

When I try to reboot to recovery, I see the following: "Google Logo with opened lock" then "White box with arrow out of box and little Android next to it" then the white box is being replaced by the "Street sign with the Exclamation Mark and the little Android next to it"

Please help me to get back a working recovery. I don't care whether the phone is being whiped or set back to stock status.

Basically, getting to stock status and having the opportunity to start all over again would be great.

My Phones Info is:

PRODUCT NAME - HEARING

HW VERSION - REV 11

BOOTLOADER VERSION - I9020XXKA3

BASEBAND VERSION - I9020XXKD1

CARRIER INFO - TMB

SERIAL NUMBER 3233E.....

LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED

I hope somebody can help me,

thank you in advance.

Jay
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you have to flash the recovery via fastboot, not via rom manager.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Like simms said you'd be best flashing through fastboot.

However, if you do want to flash through ROM manager, go into the settings and tick erase recovery before flashing.

On a side note I sent that guy a message a while back about removing an out of date boot.img from his site (as it's not necessary for "rooting") or at least add a disclaimer/notice but I see he still has not (leading to many people having a non bootable device). It's a shame he's so high in the Google search results.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hey Guys,

thanks for your advices.

I used fastboot to flash the clockwork image I got from the CyanogenMOD Wiki [1].

Fun Fact:

When I flash the recovery, I can start it afterwards.

When I reboot to normal system und reboot again to recovery, it shows me the "Exclamation Mark and little Android" again.

But: Process is repeatable, so I can access my recovery once by flashing it.

Big (nooby) question now:

When I do a "wipe data/factory reset" and then flash the current CyanogenMOD, will this also flash a new boot.img?

Thanks,

Jay

"Fun Fact:

Flash recovery, boot into Android, use a root explorer, rename or delete (needs root) "install-recovery.sh" (it's in system/etc), boot into bootloader, flash recovery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yea, that. itll stick and you wont have to reflash the recovery every time. then you can live in the recovery, just like me :D

Hi ! I am using IC Rom !

Is there anyway to use sd-ext ?? How ?? any guide ??

I used CW Recovery to create a 1Gb of sd-ext... but now I have no idea how to use it... If I download a2sd or similar... It says ext2/3/4 are not supported...

I have some IM problems so I would like to investigate new options....

Is 1 Gb ok ?? or 2 Gb is better ?? I read the maybe 2Gb could give us problems....

In case sd-ext is not supported for IC, is there any alternative for sd-ext ?

[HTC EVO 3D] codyisnottanner:
This is no way a request and for some reason i cant even figure out if it would be smart, but nonetheless...

would it be possible for a kernel to include the ability to automatically swith my phone to airplane mode when i went into an area that i get no service in and then like every "x" amount of mins, the kernel would force the phone out of airplane mode, check for service and, if none was found go back to airplane mode, and if service was found, leave the radio on. then if i was to leave a non-service area and enter a service area, instead of having to wait that "x" amount of mins to get service again, whenever i wake my phone, it instantly re-scans for services. so screen on would be the "highest priority".

quick question-would constantly going in and out of airplane mode actually use more battery than the phone would be potentially saving.
[HTC EVO 3D] chillfancy:
I think you could write a script in an application called Tasker that could do that. I have tasker set so that when I flip my phone end over end toward me it goes to full brightness, away from me to 20% brightness. It's a pretty powerful little app, I'd check it out.
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
One problem...if it goes into airplane mode...how can it detect if it is with no signal...you would have no signal to reference. You cannot leave radio on...that defeats airplane mode.
