I haven't been having issues with the GPS really. I have had stronger locks with other phones but this one gets the job done. As for GPS getting crazy, if your in an area like a metro city with tall buildings then any GPS will go crazy. When I drive in Manhattan even my stand alone GPS goes a little crazy in certain areas.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
This is happening to me on I-95 with no trees or buildings around
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboTsi:
My gps is acting up again, since yesterday. With the gps test app, it is not locating any satellites, I'm not sure what to do, I still don't think it's a hardware issue though...but I'm not sure
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
why don't you think it can be a hardware issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboTsi:
Because it works sometimes I guess, I don't know. I'm not one of the people who like to go exchange something for every little thing, I want to try to fix this myself or find out what's happening.

Do you think its a hardware issue that you and I are having?

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

I just did a battery pull with the phone still on, and on the reboot, it locks on really well. I hope it lasts this time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
I would guess it's more of a driver issue. I also can reboot and usually get it to lock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattlreese:
So i have this issue too. Whats werid is that the gps status app finds my location perfectly and posts it on the map however google maps, and telenav, can not lock at all. Hopefully this means its a software issue and it can be fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
So, I turned off 'Sensor Aiding' in the location menu, and after a reboot the phone has been great. It's been about 24 hours and I have been using it on and off with much less issues than before. Can anyone else confirm whether or not this helps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silent25r:
I just turned it on because it looked useful. But now I'm turning it back off after reading your post lol. I know, not helpful.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
that's fine, reboot the phone and let it roll today

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tariqsaleem:
Hi All,

I have just recently bought a Korean SG II (M250S). On trying to root (actually trying to flash an insecure Kernel) the phone using ODIN (tried 1.85 as well as 1.83) I am running into a problem where if I connect my phone while its turned on then it is recognized by ODIN (Com port is displayed and all) but if I put my mobile is downloading mode then ODIN doesnt recognise it. I have tried everything and have read through the forums here on XDA as well but havent been able to find a solution to this problem. Help would be appreciated.

And before anyone asks, I have also tried killing Kies Tray Agent before running ODIN but still havent had any luck. Since the phone gets recognized by ODIN while its turned on (and also detected by Kies when its on) I am guessing its not a drivers issue but something else.

In the downloading mode it doesnt really say Downloading, rather some other characters (I am guessing Korean) are displayed. Is that normal for Korean SG II's ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
How to use ODIN.

Open Odin select file to flash.

Boot download mode .

At first screen press Vol up to proceed .

Connect usb cable

Flash via Odin start tab

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tariqsaleem:
Thanks Buddy, the Vol up button did the trick.

I actually had a Galaxy S before this and in that I didnt have to press the Vol Up after going into Downloading Mode hence the confusion :o.

I was worried for a while that I was stuck with something that I could not root :)...thanks a million.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranyanay:
Well, I have my device running for 2days already with no reboot.

I charged it at night and have it running for 5 hours.

I did make 1:30 hours phone calls, a few internet and so, but its awake for the whole 5 hours which doesnt makes any sense..

The only reason I noticed it was how I lost 48% in 5hours.

I have almost nothing running in background, stock task manager shows only messages, gmail & Android market.

the "running" tab in Go launcher shows 250mb free out of 838mb total..

now after reboot its fine again, it goes to deep sleep (i checked with cpu spy)

but the problem is, how do i tell what was the cause for this mess?

BetterBatteryStats showed me that the phone was awake 100.0% of the time..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Check "partial wake locks" in the better battery stats app. Will give you info on what app or process time awake.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranyanay:
Well, in this menu there's nothing suspicious, the highest one takes 2-3mins with not too high count,

and the rest are for less than that & with low count as well.

So what else can I do to check it out?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
If its not deep sleeping, what frequency is it stuck on when screen is off?

Is any data connection on, gps etc

There is also an app, "watchdog lite", may help alert you if there are amy rogue apps or processes (depending on config)

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zomut.watchdoglite

What is your current system setup and config?

Have you made any system changes or installation of apps or themes since it was working fine?

If still no good our out of ideas, Maybe reflash the kernel and no setcpu profiles, UC, OC etc. .......

or at worst full wipe and reflash the lot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranyanay:
I will try Watchdog.

I have everything the same as before, nothing changed much.

The only serious thing I did in the past week was freezing 1-2 things with TB.

There was nothing running in the background such as download or similar

The freq. used on screen off was 200MHz
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
What was frozen, and how about unfreeze and test?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranyanay:
It seems like it doesn't use deep sleep again. I didn't di anything serious since the last reboot.

The only things I froze are kies,system update...but I returned them back.

One thing I noticed but not sure if it was like that before or not, is that in the battery info, I have battery idle, operation time is as time from last charge and time without signal is 100%.

Also, when I look at the graph, awake and screen on are synchronized so im getting lost here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranyanay:
My device is at 100% awake according to betterbatterystats but in watchdog I don't see anything suspicious.

What cab I do?

I removed most of the things I installed lately but it continues
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
As I said before;

Is any data connection on, gps etc ?

Also, do you have a strong signal, so its not constantly looking for a network or bouncing between 2g / 3g etc.

Put thephone into Flight Mode, so this eliminates connection to your network, wifi,.gps, etc.

If still no good our out of ideas, Maybe reflash the kernel and no setcpu profiles, UC, OC etc. .......

or at worst full wipe (factory data reset,.cache, dalvik etc in CWM and reflash the lot immediately after.

Don't forget to the md5 checksum to ensure your DLs are not corrupted and matching that of the Dev's original.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
One member here found social hub was the cause of not deep sleeping. More than likely a config problem.

One of my suggestions was to put into flight mode and test.

Also you can use Droid Wall to block unwanted network connections.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17960865
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranyanay:
Well, unfortunately I dont know whats the cause so I dont know how I can configure droid wall.

After 6 hours in night, I had the device for 15 mins awake with no explenation. Partial wakelocks shows the highest activity is *sync* with 1m18s, count:6. The highest count is like...200~, not too critical.

The device was in deep sleep for 6hours but 200mhz for 17mins, which is the time I have no explenation for. In bettery mode you can see that 15~ mins where its awake but screen off.

I have no explenation for this but also dont know what caused it.

The good thing is that I lost only 2% over night, so I cant be too worried about it..

So I still don't know what caused it to be 100% awake.

meanwhile, I have no OC, OV/UV, no setcpu settings at all.

Im on Cognition 1.51 & Speedmod T40. I dont have the Samsung Apps installed at all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Much better :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranyanay:
At the moment, yes

however, the issue wasnt found & solved yet, so I need to keep looking for it.

dunno what else to do, sadly..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Full wipe and reflash does not take a great deal of time, a lot less than troubleshooting in most cases.

Just backup your user apps and data with titanium before hand, and md5 checksum match.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eranyanay:
But if I backup all user apps and data, how will it help me ? Isn't one of them the cause for that ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Just in case. It may be rom our kernel

You always have the option to download fresh from market and just restore the data.

Edit: If it happens again;

Personally, I'd backup, full wipe, flash. Reboot after first boot, and before / after applying themes and after restoring.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] limeaid:
I am one of the unfortunate souls who is experiencing terrible battery life due to the AndroidOS bug. I feel like I spend half my waking hours trying to figure out what is causing it and doing different things to my phone improve my battery life.

I'm definitely getting sick of it and while I realize that Samsung/Sprint may eventually come out with a software update that fixes the problem, I'm not sure I'm willing to wait since it could take months (and the issue was supposedly fixed for GS2 phones in 2.3.4).

At this point, I'm considering going back to the Moto Photon--it's battery life is simply amazing. My only issue with the Moto is its unusable camera.

Anyone else getting as frustrated as I am and considering jumping ship to another phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
What have you done to fix it?

Are you saying that you still have the bug even aftera factory reset ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] craigbailey1986:
Why not just take it back and have them give you a new one since you obviously have a defective phone?

Also how many hours are you actually getting out of the battery?

I don't see any other phone worth switching to and I have had them all. Each with their own specific problem. But this one here is as good as it gets
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] limeaid:
I've tried just about everything that has been mentioned in the AndroidOS/battery life thread (reset, wifi, autosync) but I'm still getting only 12 hours of battery life on a good day, 8 hours on a bad day

I might try exchanging the phone, but I'm hesitant to do so due to the LOS bug (I have not experienced this with my phone as of yet).

Honestly, while I love the phone in many other ways, I'm about to throw the thing out the window since 8 hours of battery life is simply not acceptable to me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
That doesn't mean anything to me. What's the display on time? How good/bad is the cellular signal?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Exchange it bro. Ive had two of these phones so far and none had this problem. I'm getting like 24-30 hours battery with like 4-5 hours screen on time. This phone had awesome battery. Download an apps called better battery stats. This will show wakelocks and processes that are draining the battery. Good luck man.

return it.

mine doesn't seem to get the android os bug unless i'm on a custom kernel. 1 week stock, no problems, 3 days on custom problems each day, back to stock + root and no problems for 48 hrs.

i still have to be 100% sure that my phone didn't like the kernel though so another test will be coming up after a few more days of observation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
I had the issue with the stock kernel and custom kernels. I'm just going to hold out until we can get a AOSP build and hope that using as little of Samsung's code fixes it.

I'm on stock and have nothing out of the ordinary installed. Out of curiosity, do you have a google account with full sync turned on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Xhyperion:
Lol 8 12 hours isn't bad with a stock battery and 4.5 inch screen. If you are in a poor reception area it could be that. Otherwise you have alot of Apps running in the background.

My advice : root it and extended battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Khilbron:
I average 15-20 hours easily on a charge, with a full sync google account

If anything else can be Sync'd I have not run across it. I also have my Tapatalk set to notify me of PM's, and updates to Subscribed topics, I removed the accuweather widget because it only updates every 3 hours and installed Weatherbug Elite and set it to update every 30 minutes. On top of all that I browse the web regularly to visit sites that are websense'd at work, and I play dungeon hunter 2, and asphalt 6 on my lunch break. At home the phone sits on my desk until its time to pass out, only used for my Rift Mobile authenticator.

When I reboot my device it still runs the DlevRom animation. How do I remove it?

Also, in the Cognition installation notes it says that it does not contain some of the Samsung apps like the Social hub and Game hub, but after reboot it is still there. Why? I did Data/Cache/Delvik wipe and still it is there. Is there any way to remove all old data?

to use german letters.

The System notices the changes in the qwerty.kcim.bin-file, but it seems that it ignores those from th qwerty.kl-file. Y and z are still wrong. if i change them in the qwerty.kl nothing happens (set y to key 21 and z to 44). I have this problem nearly every time i update the Rom.

Permissions are set to RW-R-R.

I dont know what i did last time, but a few reboots did the trick or i dont know what...but after some time it changed to the right keys.

I used the ROM-Manager, but afaik it only changes the keyprint.xml which refers to the Standard-Input Method.
