I actually noticed this today (I do not normally use my browser) on the phone much since I have no need to do so yet today I was bored and just wanted to goof around and noticed the same behavior.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I haven't used Dolphin in many phones, and the stock brower feels odd. I usually stick to Opera Mobile (or mini, whichever one recompresses via OperaTurbo) and haven't noticed this. Plus nothing scrolls as smooth as Opera.

Opera doesn't have built-in flash support. Maybe the flash is murdering your battery? It's been a concern in the past, I wouldn't be surprised.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
This is true when browsing it drains the battery most. Has anybody tried using another browser and has the same drainage?its 3g radio or something else
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
The stock browser has its own brightness control independent from system brightness. Might want to try lowering that a bit. But yes, overall battery life on this phone is not good at all, hence I went back to my Nexus.

Has nothing to do with Flash. Just the way amoled screens are. If it's not a solid black background it's using a lot of juice.

Got GPS problem after the update with my LG o2x.

It cant seem to find any sats. Done everything thats been said on other threads nothing helps.

Any one with the same problem ?

[LG Optimus 2x] davjan:
do you disable gps if you don't use it?

in official froyo and officeal gingerbread (v20l)

gps need to be enable on boot if you want good signal , otherwise you will always lose it

so try this

enable gps

reboot phone

turn on

mobile data

( no wifi !)

open your gps app

I got my first fix in about 30 secs (cold start)

second on in 5 sec
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Same problem as some of us had with previous leaked GB roms. Topogigi fixed the problem by tweaking service.jar file, that's the only thing I know. He talked about way of calling hardware that was wrong and explained that after a lock the GPS vanished..

You should search in Topogigi thread, there is a workaround in the beginning pages that could work (setting a new server in hidden menu).

That's why I'll stay with my ROM for now... It is perfectly working.
[LG Optimus 2x] MisterM3780:
+1 from me, davjan. Seems to work for me. Thanks.

This worked for me!, however the srs level for each sat is not greater then 40 for some reason :S
[LG Optimus 2x] vrowdy:
I'm also experiencing this: as soon as the GPS gets a fix, the gps device itself seams to disappear. The Nav-app does get a valid location for one second and then the gps icon disappears.

This problem was not present in 10D and it does seem to happen when I activate the GPS later. If I boot with GPS enabled, the problem doesn't seem to occur.

Can this be fixed with the custom Jar file from Topogigi? Or is that for a different problem (no fix at all or something else - I do get a fix quickly but the GPS device seems to disappear then).

If so, how can I install it on my stock 20L? Some post talks about mounting a folder. How can I do that? I guess I need to root first and then use some kind of program on my pc or....?

I'm sorry if this has been covered before but I'm new to all this and there is so much information and a lot is hard to understand if you're new to this.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dkzs:
This got me into a bootloop...
[LG Optimus 2x] lozza69er:
Have you tried using the nokia servers, that cured my problem not getting a lock with froyo.
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
Let me gues..you deleted the services.jar and put the downloaded ZIP file in the framework folder without unpacking/renaming the file to services.jar ??

These are basic things to check but this could better be mentioned in the thread...
[LG Optimus 2x] Dkzs:
Actually no. I copy/paste the unziped jar file using esfile explorer. Got a message files were merged. Then bootloop.

Tried with the help of thansen to recover the file via clockwokmod but that didnt work aswell. So I reflashed the v20l kdz and rerooted.
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
To bad, i did exacly the same only i used rootexplorer
[LG Optimus 2x] k101d:
Just simplify set /system/framework folder into RW mode then delete the old one and then copy the file that extract from zip file into /system/framework then change file permission to 644 (rw-r--r--) --> reboot OR

Here the method from origin

1- Just mount your "/system/framework" folder writeable.

2- Then overwrite the existing "services.jar" with the attached one.

3- Reboot your phone and your gps will get its fix in only some seconds.
[LG Optimus 2x] darryd:
When you have GPS and 3G on, can try to turn on wifi and next turn off. It can help...

strange since it works for other ppl.

im on stock 20L with HP kernel and de-odexed.

[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
davjan's tip helped me!

Got a good gps fix after about 20-30 seconds the first time, second time in about 10 sec. Now i can track my training route once again ;)

*Did not work for me after all*
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
Gps.conf did it for me and the solution is permanent no need to play around with mobile data settings or reboots
[LG Optimus 2x] Dkzs:
Well I tried all of these things.

gps.conf, SULP setting in hidden menu with Nokia server, services.jar

I did get a fix with the above but in iGo after the initial fix I was still losing the signal.

Only thing that worked, was the restart the phone with GPS enabled to keep a constant GPS fix.

I will be trying it driving when I get to remember it or need it.

Thnx for the replies explaining how to apply all of the above.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
Well seems the problem is not solved.

I do get a fix after doing the reboot with gps enabled. But the gps looses the fix and still cant record my whole route like it did before. Now this is really dissapointing i must say. Will have to try the jar file i guess..

Okay. so im struggling a bit with this services.jar buisness.

Do i need to root my phone before i can do this or? I have tried using Astro file manager, but i cant set the frameworks folder to rw with the app.

Also tried with esfile manager, but i cant even find the system/frameworks folder with that app. What am i doing wrong here? =P
[LG Optimus 2x] unusednickname:
Same problem here

I got the same problem as you, I can get a lock for about a second and then it seems like the gps just disabeling itself. But when i restart my phone with gps activated do gps work like a charm. I used the hidden menu and made some changes to the google server when I had Froyo on my phone, this seems not to work as well on Gingerbread.

I would really appreciate a guide / how to update that jar file everyone is talking about.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dkzs:
Try this. And I don't know if there is a way to do it without rooting the device.

Then there is the method "turn on GPS - reboot". Try this last method with wifi and 3G off.
[LG Optimus 2x] unusednickname:
Here the method from origin

1- Just mount your "/system/framework" folder writeable.

2- Then overwrite the existing "services.jar" with the attached one.

3- Reboot your phone and your gps will get its fix in only some seconds.

I feel pretty stupid right now, because I dont know how to "mount" my /system/framework folder writeable, in fact I am really unsure how I in the first place can locate it on my phone. can anyone give me a push in the right direction here? thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] unusednickname:
Found it =)

now i got the problem that i cant overwrite services.jar, in fact i dont have services.jar the only services file i got in /system/framework/ is services.odex

and i es manager couldnt paste services.jar in this folder. do someone know what i can try/do to get the services.jar where it should be?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] unusednickname:
sorry guys, I found out of the problem on my own. just a litte boot loop and recovery problems but iI had it done at least!

[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
My gps still doesent work.. Im beginning to regret updating my phone.

I have tried every trick but replacing the services.jar file. I still havent gotten any ansvers as to how i can do this, or if its possible without rooting the phone. I really dont want to do that.

[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
Hi Kevin,

i faced the same situation as you. and found a really nice solution.(in the forums)

goto the dialer

type the following 1809#*990#

goto gps test-->system settings-->molr protocol choose user plane.

goto slp server setting choose open(google)

[many people are adding the nokia slp, i found it redundant, since Google works fine]

then enable "slp auto provision"

give it a go.

this will use A-gps so u must have data enabled

this works flawlessly on my phone. without anything else.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
Hi!

Thank you for your answer.

I have tried your solution only i used the nokia slp.

Will test this using the google one, but i am negative as to if this will solve my problem.

The gps would not connect at all yesterday, not even a one second fix.

It worked flawlessly for my before the phone update.
[LG Optimus 2x] kabecilhas:
Do this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=989578

Believe me it's gonna work before I can't get a fix on Navigon but when I do this, poooh, the first time I see my Navigon working.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
Thanks for the reply.

There are two negative things about the fix though.

Number one is that i have to change the rom (im on origial rom now), and number two, i cant turn my gps off, cause then i have to turn the phone off, and boot it up with gps turned on again.

That is simply not acceptable. The gps worked fine before the update, and it should do so after updating aswell without the extra hassle. There has to be a permanent fix to this problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] shpapy:
@Kevven try the fix i suggested 2 pages ago forget about changing rom

i run stock all the way and its great

i feel you, u dont wanna mess with custom roms. try the supl solution before doing file replacements , rom changes etc....

i had the same issue after the upgrade and supl solution worked fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
@shpapy

Tried your trick while taking a walk tonight.

My gps get a fix after about 20-30 seconds (Clear sky) and locks it for a couple of seconds. When i start moving, the gps still doesent register it and just shuts down.

Before i could walk and see on the map in realtime that i was moving. Not anymore. The fix only last for a few seconds before shutting down.

So can someone explain to me in detalil how to do the services.jar fix? Which app did you use to copy the file and so on.

Thx!

Kevin
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
You must root your phone, and then use Astro or ES file explorer to move the file. In those apps you have in settings menu an option to mount system in read/write if you are rooted. Simple.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
Okey. Thank you for your reply.

Now here comes the silly part, how do i root my phone? Seems like there is alot of different guides on how to do it on the net. Would be glad if i were able to do it the easy way.

Kevin
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Gosh..... See in development section there is a thread, how root for dummies...

The method described is the only one that works on gingerbread. So do not try others, they are only useful on Froyo.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
Okey.

Thanks for the "gosh" reply btw.

No need to get cranky =P , not everybody has the know-how when it comes to these things, i guess thats why the forums excists =)

*Anyways*

Got my phone rooted thanks to the lovely guide.

When i open file expert i get a notice telling me it has super user access. I have checked off the box in the app to allow this.

But when i try to mount the system/frameworks folder as R/W it tells me Mount FAILED.

What gives?
[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
Nobody has any idea as to why file expert wont let me mount the services/frameworks folder to RW?

The app tells me it has super user access. But it still tells me the mount has failed.. This is the only thing keeping me from doing the services.jar fix to my gps problem..
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Use ES file explorer.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
Thanks for replying.

With ES file explorer i cant even see the system/framworks folder. Dont know why that is. It seems it only lets me see whats in the sdcard directory.

*Edit*

Just figured out i had to set my home folder to / instead of /sdcard...

Seems the file has been copied successfully this time. Will update on how well the gps works after this.

Thank you guys!
[LG Optimus 2x] epyon16:
@Kevven

did you solve the problem?

i just update my P990 to stock GB (V20d) and find that GPS is total useless! :(
[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
@ epyon16

I havent gotten around to check this (Buisy week)

Im going to take a walk tonight, will report back after that!

=)
[LG Optimus 2x] taxas:
Let me tell you this. I still have this problem and its bugging me ALOT!

Stupid LG..

So this problem is NOT SOLVED!
[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
Just posting to tell you guys that it did not work.

My recent test was with the services.jar file replaced, and with the nokia gps server tweak using the hidden menu.

The Gps still locks on for a split second, then the gps icon dissapears. When this happens my location on the map is stuck on the spot it got the split second connection. Meaning it doesent move on the map while im on the move like it did before..

I am getting very frustrated. I know this isnt a hardware issue since it worked flawlessly before, and i have the logs from My tracks to confirm this. Really really angry with my decision to update my phone!
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
BEFORE a reboot enable your GPS and leave it ON...if you stop any navigation software (from navigation software menu or with 'backbutton' ) your GPS will be stopped but driver is still loaded and will not drain battery.

for example Navigon NEEDS a data connection before you can navigate if it is not disabled in Navigon software.

suc6
[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
But your tips is not permanent. Nor was it needed before the update. So i cant image this should be the only fix to the problem! something went wrong with the update. And im not rebooting my phone everyday just to use my gps. Thats just stupid.. :(
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
No need for a reboot..just leave GPS enabled...

it is a workaround but its okay with me.

if not flash back to froyo and wait......wait....:D
[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
Okay. So you are talking about Turning on GPS-reboot phone-leaving GPS on?

How does this affect your battery life?

If everything else fails. I think i will have to consider changing rom. I cant have my phone crippled like this. I actually plan on using the functions i have paid for in this phone :P

*Update*

Tried turning the gps on and rebooting the device. Once again my gps can track my movements like before!

I will try leaving the gps on for now, and testing its impact on batterylife. Will post tomorrow on how it went.

But still. This problem needs to be adressed so that we can find another fix to it, instead of working around it by leaving the gps on at all times.

Thx so far guys!
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
I have had some success testing the app "GPS status and toolbox" with stock gingerbread and MIUI (1.11.18) ROMs. As I am only an occasional GPS user, can other GPS users try this to see if it help solve the GPS issue?

How I use the app is:

Open the app. Get a positional fix from a cold start. Close the app.

Thereafter, I usually get a lock within 20 secs after opening Map.

I think the positional fix survives a phone reboot - though I have not rebooted much.

Apologies in advance - if this is already a known fix or, doesn't fix the GPS issue at all.

-----

EDIT: Right off the bat, I think my advise above does not hold up to further testing. Tested last night & today - walking over 3 miles in open ground. Tried with MIUI, stock GB and stock froyo (all nandroid backed up images). Even though MIUI and stock GB had worked reasonably well earlier; I couldn't get any lock for MIUI and and stock GB took well over 3 minutes to get a lock. Whereas froyo worked like a charm, sub-20 secs lock from Map start-up was easily achieved. Rebooting phone and restarting Map in Froyo had no ill effects.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
Still no fix then. Who is using gr5, is it fixed in that one?
[LG Optimus 2x] RemonstrancE:
I have the same problem! The fix is not permanent.

My battery says for about 3 - 4 days in normal use, but I can not be sure if I use the GPS always on. ;-(
[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
Reporting back with update.

Tested the gps again today after having it on since yesterday. I got a lock after about 30 seconds, and i had a stable lock for the whole trip (52 min)

I think leaving the gps on has cut my battery life with about 3-4 hours. But its hard to say for sure. I have 33% battery now, and my phone has been on battery for 1d and 2h. (have been listening to music for 2 hours, and using gps and tracking software for 2 hours. And a call that lasted 25 min, and some sms usage.
[LG Optimus 2x] RemonstrancE:
Sounds good! Thank you for the feedback.

Anyway, in my case I don't need the GPS very often, so if it works fine this way, it may be used only for a good reason (trip, finding a spot & etc.). But the bug with it is kind of annoying! I hate when the things are not working in the way they are suppose to work! ;-(
[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
No problem!

Yeah i totally agree with you. This is a nice workaround. But i hate it when things doesent work as they should. I got a quick and stable lock before the GB update, so we know that something went wrong because of it.
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
glad it worked for you , GPS is not used although the driver is loaded so GPS is in a sort of "standby" mode.

you can check the battery use in system menu to see if it drained the battery without using navigation software.

greetz
[LG Optimus 2x] Kevven:
@KillerbeeNL

Thats what i figured =) So as a workaround, this works like a charm!
[LG Optimus 2x] Jyanjy92:
I solved! Thank you!
[LG Optimus 2x] speedsnail:
For my P990 the only thing working is to keep the GPS on all the time as mentioned above..

It didnt significantly affected the battery life (mabye not at all), but im still not happy that LG rom is that crappy :(
[LG Optimus 2x] S0ci0:
I think you should change rom though. On CM I get a fix with 8 sattelites in less then 10 seconds, and it stays stable... And i can turn on and off my gps as much as i want
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
but V20L is more stable ...battery friendly ...has a radio app...and has better camera.

its all about needs and preference.
[LG Optimus 2x] blakki73:
No one of these solutions are working for me... is there a way to merge in v20l the GPS fix that is present in stock based custom roms?

Sorry for my bad English.

[LG Optimus 2x] gonzo96:
After several reboots, factory resets, applying "gps fix instructions" und using some gps fix tools from the market I finally found a solution for my p990 :)

I'm running the LG stock 2.3.4 (V20L), rooted with SuperOneClick, and when "auto sync" is enabled I get a fix within 10 seconds.

If I disable auto sync GPS Status finds 2-3 satellites, nothing more, no fix, etc...

Can anyone confirm this?

PS: No supl changes or something like that, "use wireless networks" ist disabled, too

Edit: Well... after some hours using my optimus 2x as navigation device.... again no fix -.-

As everyone knows, the audio quality of I9003 is not up to the mark:(, and this has been discussed various times.

Its real bad when compared to that of I9000 or of any iphone (personally tried).:(:(

If anyone knows about any custom rom, with improved sound or any other rom, or any method to improve the sound quality, please discuss.:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sicmofo:
As crazy as it sounds I'm actually quite satisfied with the audio quality of our phone (despite my constant whining a few months ago). Although I do agree that the audio quality of most idevices is better.

Anyway I'm currently using cranium rom and miui player on XXKPH. I honestly cant tell if this has any impact on audio quality but recently I've been a happy camper :)

Others will suggest the use of the equalizer app from the market. Its honestly the best EQ available and you wont be using those EQs that come with the music player anymore. It's free too :)

I suggest the Playerpro app as well since I've found it to have a louder volume overall and the UI is pretty neat.

And although this might sound redundant but I'm curious as to what headset your'e using. It always helps to have a reliable pair of quality head/earphones
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] juanmaper:
I have the headphones that comes with the i9003, they are quite good. With DSP Manager it has a good quality sound, but Im having a problem with it, the phones speakers keep doing a static sound and drink the battery.

Ill try the equalizer app...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanmayrocks:
I use sennheiser hd202, the are real good in my opinion, but the sound was a big let down when i tested the quality on Iphone 3gs :(
