[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcongosto:
I just wanted to warn poor souls like me.

A couple of months ago when I was trying to decide wich phone to get, I read in

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series

that for some users sometimes the GPS migh be a little inconsistent, or something like that. Now I see this text has changed to something more accurate,

PLEASE READ IT

This devices GPS' is just plain DEFECTIVE. Period.

If you don't need GPS then go ahead, but this was not my case and now I am bitterly regretting having bought a SGS. It only works on the highway, and not always. In the city is just plain useless. My old Tytyn II and my wife's ACE are much much much much better at this. I mean it's not that they are better: they work an the SGS don't.

I have tried several patches and several modems. This is pure fantasy, nothing is going to fix a defective hardware.

It is also very irresponsible form samsung not issuing a recall or something. Never again will i buy a Samsung phone.

very frustaed here. regards.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KreepyKen:
Check your build number. If it is 1010 or earlier, then you have a well-known bad GPS. They started fixing phones that were made or refurbished after November 2010. If your build is 1012 or 11xx, then your phone should have a fixed GPS.

My 1101 is much better than my 1007. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done. Most of the time it's dead-on accurate, but it jumps every once in a while, putting me on a side street.

I took my 1007 to an AT&T device center, told them the GPS is not acceptable and that it shuts down on its own once in a while (also true), and they exchanged my phone with no problem. Try returning it to a device center. If they exchange the phone for you, test out the GPS until you get one that locks fast.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcongosto:
yup, mine's a 1007, so that's it, I have a well know defective phone and there's propably nothing I can do about it since I bought it used on ebay and brought it to Spain, both at&t and Samsung would probably laugh at my face if I ask for an exchange here.

as I said, never again Samsung, too irresponsible.

thanks,
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek4484:
I have a 1007 that I bought on the very day it was first released. Some ROM's seem to make the GPS work very well. I'm on CM7.1 now and it works pretty good. Its not as flawless as my friends DroidX or iPhone but it locs within about 10-15 secs and once its locked it stays locked.

Try different ROMs. I had good experience with FireFly 3.0, Cog 2.2Beta7 or Beta8, CM7.1.

A few of them I could even get a GPS lock indoors. I cant do that with CM7.1 but as long as I'm outside it works very well.

You really should rename this thread "Let's bash Samsung"
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemonWav:
lol. Good, go to HTC (they will treat you even worse if you have any problems) at least I won't have to sift through any more useless threads made by you in Samsung sections.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KreepyKen:
I've heard people talking about ROMs improving GPS, but that the improvements were temporary. I experienced this, too.

The GPS on the phone when I got it (Eclair) was decent in clear weather. It took a while to lock, but once there, generally stuck. It seriously sucked in cloudy/rainy weather, though. I installed the Paragon RC6 ROM, and the GPS was amazing for a few months. It went to hell really fast, though, getting to the point where it wouldn't even lock outside on a crystal clear day. I restored the phone to stock Eclair hoping the GPS would return to the original state, but it remained practically unusable.

I've heard others say that some ROMs had awesome GPS functionality to start and then ended up being worse than the original. YMMV, but something to keep an eye out for.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
this is after many months that I saw any thread about Captivate GPS, i think we captivate users matured enough to deal with crappy gps in our phones.....

I think if you really want good gps buy one of ebay.....just becoz your phone cant use google's Navigation Beta doesnt mean its useless....see the other good thing abt it..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcongosto:
That's exactly what I said, captivate is a great phone if you don't care much about GPS, but that's not my case. I have had several smartphone with GPS in the past and they all worked much better.

I wish I've read a rant like mine before making my decision. Everybody was so "mature" that no one said anything anymore.

I think is normal to be disappointed with Samsung. It seems that is a proven fact that old builds are defective, so it should be much more easier to exchange them. No receipt or warranty needed, free shipping worldwide. But I guess that's not how it works...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KreepyKen:
"Matured enough to deal with crappy gps"? Not sure about you, but the Captivate was my first smartphone, and I bought it long before ever finding XDA. I bought it based on specs, the promise of Froyo, and screen quality. It was only after I bought it and got locked into a 2-year contract that I discovered that the GPS sucked. And I had never owned another Android phone, so I had no basis of comparison for how good/bad a phone's GPS should be...except my boss' Droid X, which wasn't an option for me because I didn't care for the screen. The turn-by-turn navigation was one of the features that attracted me to Android over iOS.

I understand the GPS situation NOW, but when I bought the phone a year ago, the box said it had GPS, so I was naturally...um..."disappointed" that it didn't work. I considered it false advertising. I paid a lot of money for the phone..."dealing with a crappy GPS" isn't something I was willing to do for $100 down and $100 a month. That's too much money for a broken phone.

I ultimately got so fed up with it and some other issues that I brought the phone into a device center and got it replaced. GPS is fixed and works much better. Now it's really only the intermittent, ridiculous lag in the phone that gets on my nerves...but I'm much happier when driving in unfamiliar areas.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
This would be funny if Samsung wasnt bashing themselves by releasing a product with broken features. It might be a rant we have all heard before but its still right. While I really do enjoy my captivate, I probably wont buy another Samsung device due to all of the issues.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Sidster1979:
I am thinking of buying this phone as an upgrade to my current x10 mini.

Would somebody with this phone be so kind as to go into the android market on the handset and search for "LG TV REMOTE" and tell me if it finds it?

My current x10 mini does not find it - I have been told that the screen size is too small to support the app but I am hoping the larger 3" screen will work with the app. I have also been told that the x8 works with it and this has a 3" screen too so I am hopeful.

Thank you in advance!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liorra3:
im wonder, the nexus screen work at 1280x720, but still most of the apps on the market work with lower resolution, so all new nexus users will have some linited apps like the tablets that work with android ? and the lower resolution apps will still show like pixeld ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Ics sandwich is supposed to address that so we will have to get one in hand or a knucklehead to write an in depth review. So far reviews are "ooo, look at the double rainbows."

I voided my warranty and your nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FISKER_Q:
I'm hoping so, games like those from Kairosoft ran pretty awful on my Honeycomb tablet.

Hoping it won't be the same issue on the phone as that's basically the only games i wanna play on my phone :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
Sensation is a higher resolution and apps look fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Sensation is an hdpi device. I'm not certain, but I think Galaxy Nexus is the first xhdpi Android device. As such, apps that don't have xhdpi bitmaps might look a bit ugly until they get updated with xhdpi bitmaps, and apps that are hardcoded to support certain densities and didn't include xhdpi won't appear in the Market for the GN, but otherwise we shouldn't have any problems.

See: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
On the Atrix 4G (QHD) after the Gingerbread update apps seem to upscale (or whatever) just fine (looks great except the defective color representation by the screen itself); while is was still on Froyo some apps did not upscale properly and had black bars or borders. "Bonsai Blast" was one that had that issue for a while, but later had an update that addressed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Hmmm...I wonder if the Atrix 4G is hdpi or xhdpi, its actual density is somewhere in between those two target densities...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ptscon:
Apps will definitely look a bit soft until they update bitmaps as stated above.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diversificationied:
They will work fine just won't look sharp until updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esincho:
Exactly.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Apps will start to be built/updated to scale properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Yeah, the best apps will be updated fast. I guess it's time to once again make new artwork for the apps you care about and submit to the developers. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Hopefully you submitted them as vector art in the first place so the developers of your favorite apps can just rasterize them into higher res images?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
I do keep the vector images for the ones I made that way. Many of them were created in photoshop though but in some cases I have a higher res version available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Apps look fine on a tablet. Honeycomb 3.2 came with a feature that does what the iPad does and allows double pixels.

So when you launch an app not optimized for larger resolutions, a button will pop-up in the taskbar allowing you to change the render mode.

Most non optimised apps work great in higher Res... I've never used the double pixel mode outside of emulators, cause they look the same but run better at a lower res. Everything else I use normal mode.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitoberoi:
Hi guys. Me and my wife both have gs2 and we both are on tata docomo 3G network. The speeds are good and this phone is awesome, specially for someone coming from a blackberry like me. However there is a peculiar problem both of us are facing. The data xonnection sometimes hangs on 3G and does not move to h or h+, and in 3g therd is no data transfer. The data transfer happens only on h+. That means for all practical purposes there is no data transfer. Sometimes it alsi so happens that the phone is showing the h+ icon but again there is no data transfer and i cannot access any internet related app. In these cases when the data hangs the only option is to activate the flight mode and then again reconnect. Then the data works fine. Off late this has started happening a lot. I have tried a couple of things like deactivating h and h+ and working only on 3g but to no avail. Can anyone help with this. I have not been able to test on other networks so i cannot be sure whether this is a device related problem or due to the network. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Regards
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smhtc:
I am also facing this exact issue. I am on Airtel (India) network. For me, it seems to happen when I am at some particular locations, and works smooth at some other locations.

I just deactivate data network mode and re-activate it (long press power) instead of flight mode, takes only 10-15 seconds.

Don't know if rooting and using custom roms will fix this issue, because I strongly believe it to be network-related. I used to have similar problems with HTC Desire with various sense/AOSP custom roms.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitoberoi:
He y buddy. But if ur on airtel and i am on tata docomo and we both r having the same problem, maybe it is not a network problem and is rwlayed ro some handset setting. Did u try the *#302179# trick. Did it work for u. Same problem in othe networks and for some of them this trick worked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitoberoi:
And by the way thanks for the data connection mode trick ( long press). Atleast it is a better way to make it work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitoberoi:
Anyone please any more ideas as this issue is very frustrating
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mark67222:
Happening to me as well.

I always thought it was vodafone's poor network as my phone never downloads data when 3G is showing, it will only show upload arrow, then when it change's to H I get both uplaod and download arrows and starts working fine.

One thing I did notice though is when in Gran Canaria 3G was showing and working and data speed were ridiculously fast compared to here in the U.K

Surely this must be related to kernel used???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wltklah:
I have the same issue on my I9100 KI3, KF4, KG2 stock rom with either KG2, KF4, KI3 or KI4 modem. This is a combination of tower and our phone modem or kernel issue. I am having this issue with AT&T USA on KI3 and KI4 quite often in Champaign, IL. But when I went back to my country in Asia(Taiwan) 3 months ago, KI3 rom and modem have no 3G issue at all. I was on 3G 24/7 for 3 months without any issue there. However, I had the same 3G issue in Taiwan when I was on KF4 modem with KF4 rom when I first bought the phone. This is really a funny issue. I tried all the tricks and switching so many rom and modem, but 3g hang still happens to me with AT&T network. Now I am trying to lock the WCDMA band to 850 only, see whether it helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RorixRebel:
having the same issue here, but im quite sure its network related, inside my office the 3g dissapears at all and the same happends to a friend of mine who owns a SGS2 as well. whenever my outside the internet works as intended

also flashed trizillions of roms and modems before i gave up and blamed it on network rofl

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MySelf_v1:
Is there any app that lets you chose the focus manully on WP7 ? What about iOS and Android? Should i change OS?

I'm a photographer and that app will be really useful to me (and us all).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
All WP7 devices have a dual-action camera button (I hesitate to call something like that a shutter button, since it's purely electronic). The half-press will focus (although it will not lock the exposure settings, like many real cameras will). Center on something you want to be in focas at the preferred distance, half-press and hold, then compose the shot and press the rest of the way without releasing the half-press.

That said, the camera on current-gen WP7 devices is nothing special even by smartphone standards, meaning it's a cut above the typical dumb-phone and two cuts below a $200 point-and-shoot. I've gotten a few decent pictures out of mine, but even under optimal conditions it takes worse shots than the everyday quality of a PaS, much less an SLR. They're OK if you want to shrink them way down and post them to Facebook, but I'd sure as hell never charge anybody money for one.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MySelf_v1:
I know that those shutter is dual action but i would like manual focus for some macro photography because my Mozart, doesn't focus how it should.... thanks for the answer anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
I suspect the minimum focus distance is probably soemthing like 50cm or more. These are not sophisticated lenses; if you can get macro out of them I'd be very impressed.

Why are you trying to get professional photographs out of a cell phone?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PtSy:
The only phone which generates acceptable pictures (compareable to compact cameras) is the Nokia N8. It has autofocus, but no touch, nor manual focus. The miniumum focus distance is about 15cm.

But if you want to do fancy stuff (e.g. different cheap effects, etc.) iPhone might be better.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamborg:

Hi,

I have a phone with Android 2.3.5, kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI8-CL616395. A coworker has the same phone, same kernel and same operator.

What we've noticed is that GPS is crap for both of us. Is this a known problem? It seems a lot worse than it used to be before the update. Is there a known fix?

Cheers!

Shutdown animation.... .. bloody qmg files..

is there a kernel outthere that can utilise a shutdown.zip (with pngs as with bootanimation.zip)?

i know .QMG files are not creatable by mere mortals, so is there something that can be tweaked in a kernel? the same way as with Bootanimation?

Hi, everyone... I notice that people dont like Sonnysekhon's ICS v1.5 theme becuz of the deskclock time cant be seen... But no worries anymore!

ZduneX25 has actually implent a fix for this since his first meizu theme and miui theme released... So im here to tell u more... Every DeskClock is universal for certain devices like:

Droid X Motoblur Alarm deskclock can be usable on the LG Optimus One P500 CyanogenMod 7.1...

Get it?

But this time i only release for the hdpi... Test it and give feedback! If u like it, press thanks!

Remember! To test this u need to use a theme with stable image background or transparency...

Can anyone port the deskclock fix for the gradient background to Alarm Clock Plus?
