My GPS seems to always lose signal... I can not use it reliably for Navigation at all!! It worked fine about a week ago and suddenly the last few days it has been unusable! I have cleared all cache from Maps as well as unchecked GPS from using cell towers undersettings then reenabling it. Got it to find my location for a second then loses it as i start driving again! Any suggestions with what else i can do?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] monkey28rb:
Nothing.. Just the normal browsing android market downloaded some apps.. Speaktoit Assistant.. forgot the rest...

I just did this and it seems to have worked ( at least for the meantime )

If you would like to speed up the GPS lock and connection time on the Galaxy SII...

Try this...

Settings > Location and security > ensure the the 3 boxes under My location are ticked.

Now download and install, free from the Market, GPS Status.

Remove the sim card from your phone and reboot it.

Open GPS Status (preferably outdoors with a clear view of the sky) and select Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Reset

Now select Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Download

Now just leave it for as long as it takes to get a solid lock on at least 6 Sat's (preferably more... 9->11 would be good). This can take 20 min's or more but be patient,

When you have achieved this then select GPS Status Menu > Settings > GPS & Sensors > Auto-download AGPS data > choose how often you would like the data to be updated (1 hour -> 3 days... I have mine set for 6 hours) > tick the 3 boxes (GPS required/Lock to GPS speed/Filter the GPS speed, if required) and choose your Sensor filtering.

Now power off your phone and replace Sim card and reboot.

N.B. Please ensure you have no Task Managers or anything that will close or interfere with this app.

Once rebooted you should find an improvement in accuracy and speed of your GPS.

Good tips that seem to work, but i have found GPS status to be a battery drainers in past phones. Personally my GPS is amazing and works better than any other phone I've had to date.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
GPS Status flakes out occasionally, I've seen it cause drain once - but only once.

Repost.. If anyone else has soeaktoit assistant on their phone let me know how the navigation is working for you.. I want to try and narrow this down...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rrryan2:
Actually, it's best to leave "Use sensor aiding" turned off. It's mostly meant for pedestrian use and requires that the phone be held level and pointed in the direction of travel. What it really does is turn off gps momentarily when it detects that the unit is stationary, which is more likely to hurt rather than help mobile tracking especially in vehicular use. It's mostly meant to help conserve battery power, and it's not much help even when it is working right.

GPS status is my fave method of testing, but the feature for managing AGPS state doesn't seem to work right on these phones. In fact, if you choose delete AGPS data you can still get a fast fix indoors, which would be impossible if the AGPS data had actually been deleted. The "AGPS data downloaded" popup is just wrong.

What good would removing the SIM do?

The ASGS2 uses a SiRFStar IV gps module, one of the first examples of a new generation of smartphone GPS tech. It actually doesn't use AGPS the way previous technologies did by reaching out over the network and downloading AGPS data. Instead, it actually predicts ephemerides *locally* within the phone itself without needing to reach out to a server somewhere. The chip doesn't download AGPS data, but actually *creates* it. Very cool.

http://www.csr.com/products/25/sirfstariv-gsd4t

I've seen some weird things occasionally, like it being reported as using up to 40% of battery power. When I asked the app's author about it, he pointed out that if you click through on the item in the Battery Use display, it will show that it's used little or no CPU, which indicates that it's just a reporting bug, not an actual battery hog.

I'm using Speaktoit (eh... it's ok but not great yet) too with no GPS issues and would think that it's unlikely that it or any other app would cause GPS problems like this.

You might try just leaving it in a window for an hour or so with Navigator running. That would be enough time for even a standalone GPS unit to download complete almanac and ephemerides over the satellite signal. Maybe that will flush out all the GPS info. Unfortunately, I don't know of a good way to do this manually with these new chips.

You may also consider using a weather widget or such that uses GPS every few hours. This might help make sure GPS info stays refreshed if you're not using GPS much otherwise. Amazon App store has Fancy Widgets today for free.

I don't have any other good advice for you. If the above didn't work I'd be thinking about calling customer support and pursuing a warranty exchange, as GPS on these devices has been basically flawless for me esp. compared to Captivate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] monkey28rb:
thanks for the reply^^

I did did a clear cache in the Maps and now while in my house i seem to get a steady lock... Weird.. before it would lock then lose the signal then try to find my location again.. Not sure if there was some sort of error with the Cache that caused it to lose its location?

Well, my suggestion goes to Amazon Kindle Fire. Also run with Android, and it has such a rich daddy- i mean Amazon online sales service, there is no reason why i shouldn't choose it

I have a transformer and love it. The 2nd gen is out soon as mentioned. Asus has so far put out updates before moto too. Its been confirmed that 1st gen transformer is getting ICS. Saying that, build of the moto is better but I am generally careful with my tech.

Just my 2p
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Kindle Fire is locked to Amazon App Store, no Android Market. Its a closed ecosystem like the iPad. The OS on the Fire is highly skinned to be Amazon-centric, somewhat similar to how the Nook is (with Barnes & Noble). Some would say this is not "real" Android. Also from what I've read, the Fire is just a slightly updated version of the RIM Playbook hardware, running Android. Which I find very underwhelming. How is that for reasons not to buy the Fire?

Of course, the price of the Fire can't be beat. And some of the Amazon-centric features of the Fire are intriguing. Such as the ability to play Amazon streaming videos (especially if you are already an Amazon Prime member, which I am). And the Fire already a big seller, even before its released. So availability of good 3rd party accessories is all but guaranteed.

That said, I have an HTC Flyer, and love it. If you are a big fan of HTC phones, you should also check out their tablets. The Flyer has a similar 7" form factor to the Kindle/Fire, but with an aluminum body and the build quality that HTC is known for. And if you are familiar with HTC Sense and actually like it (like I do) then you will feel right at home with the Flyer. Plus, its not locked down to Amazon like the Kindle Fire; and the Flyer has already been rooted. Considering the build quality, front and rear camera, microphone (Fire lacks any cameras or microphone) and stylus pen capability, IMO the Flyer is a better value than the Fire despite being $100 more.

The HTC Jetstream is also a great looking tablet. It has a 10" form factor, and runs Honeycomb out of the box. But its only available from AT&T, and the price of $700 on contract ($850 full retail) is obnoxious. Maybe it will get a big price cut like the Flyer did.

don't need to be actively developing on it to setup the section that will inevitably be created. Will give people a chance to become acquainted, and a formal place to discuss the phone.

my battery used to charge good. yes i have done the battery calibration. but when i kill my phone to 1% battery and then plug it in and get it charge straight through i notice it reaches 4200mAh at about 80% charge which is actually 100% full. anyway i can fix this? im on Start Burst 1.9.5 with 1.0.0.8 LostKernel :mad:

EDIT- I I turned my phone off and used the charger that came with the phone and did a full charge with the phone off and when I turned phone on it was at 4182mAh ( which is close enough to full ) and showing 99%. I hit the callinrate button right away. Hopefully after this drain the next charging cycle will associate 4200Mah as 100% charged. Uh damn confusing techknology
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nickshertzer:
Searched Q&A and havent seen any other complaints to match my own.

My sgh-i777 takes about 2 seconds to wake from sleep when I hit the power button. This is only when on battery power. Maybe not a full 2 secs, but noticeable lag anyway (the only noticeable lag btw). It wakes up immediately when plugged in to AC power. I noticed the issue both on stock and CM7(which is freaking awesome) .

So here is my Q:

Is this normal wake behavior for the SGS2? Just got it today and wondering if maybe it is a hardware issue.

PS: I know I need to update my sig now... Dell Streak 5 was an awesome form factor, but holy **** I love this new processor! (But thumbs cramping a bit from the small screen, LOL)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ferrari353:
I seem to have a lag too. I had it before root while on stock and i still have it on cm7

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Fundamentally takes at least 650msec to wake up from deep suspend - add to that other wakeup processing and you get about a second.

Nothing you can really do about it - most of it is spent waiting for the modem to wake up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ferrari353:
The lag is getting me greif from iphail owners.... They're like my [stupid retarded lame piece of ****] Iphone doesn't lag.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nickshertzer:
Latest CM7 nightly (10) has LED notifications which uses wake_lock to prevent deep suspend. -guess I need to get a 2nd battery ;)

Going to try it out. A bit disappointing that the most advanced phone on the market has this noticeable lag when waking. I have never experienced this on any other phone... I tend to accidently double hit the power button just to have it wake a moment later followed immediately by the electron beam CRT power off animation!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nickshertzer:
What really grinds my gears is that this wake lag NEVER happens when plugged in to the charger. :mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
That's because charging holds a permanent wakelock.

So idk if this is a cm7 thing on the SGS2 or if it's the phone itself, and but the volume is super loud. I have it at 1, and it's what I would normally listen to music at with headphones. 3 is about as loud as I'll go. I can't imagine going up to like 10 or something. Is this just me?

--
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfpearson:

Having the same problem with CM7 on my SG2. Volume at 1 is normal listening level with anything higher being too loud.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jpstiehl:
I have the same thing going on with my SGSII/CM7.2.0 RC0

It's not really a problem for me but it is odd. This is with a pair of iPod earbuds which I typically only use at the gym. Volume at level 3 is plenty loud. I'm sure the earbuds would blow at louder volumes alond with my ear drums. Anyway, the sound is still clear so I just keep the volume lower. As far as testing with something else, it's normal when I plug up to an auxiliary in on a small stereo at home. So, it must be the headphone/earbuds.

Hi everyone!

First of all I would like to thank all the people of this incredible community!

Been reading lots of great stuff around here for a while , before get hands to the work, and thanks to all blessed knowledge here I was able to root my Nexus S I9020t .( Had some issues, but that's for another post...:o)

Read somewhere about ppl losing IMEI and other phone's unique data while messing whit it , so I was wandering if the CWM 5.0.2.0 recovery file that I had created right after rooting my phone(2.3.6) has saved that info's too? Or how can I backup this? Does it save also Kernel and Baseband?

Luv!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedalus:
It does save the kernel, but not the baseband. (just make a note of your baseband somewhere just in case, because you can flash other radios to see if it improves the reception)

Clockwork mod does not save your efs folder contents (where your encrypted IMEI I'd stored) but you could flash TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) which does. Or you could make a backup of your efs folder manually.

Different radios are available in the dev section, and some custom ROMs include automatic efs backup, for example brainmaster's MIUI.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zumbizao:
Many thanks Bedalus for all the info!

Just to finish, I readied in some places that I can just copy /efs trough root explorer/File Expert , but some said that doesn't work, and that is some kind of bug when doing this , and the right way to doing this would be with ADB /Debug mode... Is that true or can I copy it trough root explorer?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedalus:
You can copy with root explorer! ADB PULL would just copy the folder contents to your computer directly.

With root explorer copy your efs folder to your sdcard then you can mount USB and copy to your computer.

Background: cm7 nightly (6 when this happened)

So last night before I went to bed, my phone was really hot and according to z-device test, my phone was 36°C. Then in the morning, it took nearly a minute for my screen to turn on so i could stop my alarm and it was even hotter. Z-device test now said it was 50°C. Idk if that's accurate but it definitely felt well over 100° Fahrenheit. I put the screen on my face and it was almost unbearably hot. The I turned it off until it cooled off and it seemed okay the rest of the day. What could the problem be?

--
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfpearson:
was the phone plugged into the charger? were you using it intensively on the charger right before you went to bed? do you have any profiles set (with setcpu or another program) that is forcing your phone to stay on high frequencies?

if it is fine now, then i wouldn't worry about it... chances are some app just caused you to use a lot of CPU, thereby making the phone hot. if it happens again, and you can't pinpoint a particular app as the culprit, i would try a battery pull, and if that doesn't work, maybe try a re-flash of CM7.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ferrari353:
It was plugged in. And I had setcpu at 800-1200 because I heard that if the cup gets too low, the screen won't turn on... Also it was plugged into my Touchpad charger, and and since the Touchpad charger is like higher voltage or whatever, could that have affected it?

Btw, i uninstalled SetCPU since then.

--
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfpearson:
yes, that is what is causing your heat issue. you should not do extremely intensive tasks (like game playing) while your phone is on the charger - your phone is receiving a lot of juice, and you are exerting a lot of juice at the same time - ends up in a bad (and hot) combination.

especially with the setcpu charging profile that you have set up... you aren't allowing your phone to get below 800 mhz while it is on the charger, so of course it is going to be excessively hot when charging, for the reason mentioned above. if you got rid of that profile (don't have to get rid of setcpu completely), and let the phone dictate the frequency it charges at (most likely 200 mhz, or even deep sleep), then your heat issues will be solved.

glad i could help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
If you limit max frequency to less than 800 on a stock kernel - you'll encounter SoD issues.

With a custom kernel that includes the SoD fix (nearly any custom kernel does), you're fine. I wouldn't set a limit to 200 max and do NOT use "Powersave" for screen off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ferrari353:
Which custom kernel? Ive never flashed kernels before... Do kernels come with Roms? Because I have cm7 nightly...
