Then this tweak is exactly for you it was written for users like you and I who hate hassling with scripts and waiting for boots.... no script hassles just super simple to apply all you need is two apps from the market and follow the instructions.
[Epic 4G General] Lorenzo L:
Didn't Work For Me

I just tried this. The following instruction from the guide regarding the use of System Tuner says: "Click "tweaks", select SD Cards, change your io scheduler from bfq to deadline, click boot settings, select Re-apply SD tweak and select init.d script. exit system tuner."

I found a couple of differences when I followed their instructions. When I got to the System Tweaks page, my IO Scheduler was already set at "Deadline". Then, when I clicked on "Root Settings", then selected "Re-Apply SD Tweak", I was given only two choices: "Disabled" and "On boot completed". There was no option for "init.d script". So I could not complete the process.

I followed the guide to the letter (and picture). What did I do wrong? I'm currently running the GB update with Nubernel's Kernel (Firmware version: nubernel - 2.6.35_v0.0.1. Baseband version: S:D700.0.5S.EI22. Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-nubernel+)
[Epic 4G General] jayshocka:
do you mean stock GB update?

I do not believe it supports init.d

I am running CLEANGB rom with success... I am not the developer just a messenger post this back in the forum they might be more helpful than I could be sorry I promise it is worth it

[Epic 4G General] jayshocka:
There is a SD tweak included in this
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
Most of the roms include the sd tweak to increase the read cache to 2048k, so you may already have it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbrandwood:
My father is hard of hearing in one ear so likes to have the volume for the left channel louder than the right. He has an old in-line adapter for headphones to achieve this but I wonder if there is some kind of mixer app or accessibility feature that can have the same effect without needing the adapter.

If there is a volume boost option then that would also be helpful.

Does anyone have any experience with an app that might do this?

Thanks

If you do not like quick office and would like an alternative, head over to the amazon app market. They are selling the docs to go $14.99 unlocker for free today. After it installs just download the docs to go free application from the android market and you are good to go! You can go in the about/info aection of the app and it will show unlocked. I'm not a big fan of the amazon app market because they do not keep their apps up to date. However this is a great deal for the free app of the day. Enjoy everybody!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] highaltitude:
Wohoo, thanks for posting this! Question: after having this downloaded, Do you now show 2 Docs To Go apps in your app drawer? one for the program, and one with a key symbol? Just didnt know if I downloaded and installed it twice by mistake?

Edit: Found out one is the key, one is the app
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cheetablaze:
Yes, one is the unlocked and the other is the actual app. I just use go launcher and hide the key app... It hasto reside on the device to keep the app unlocked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stalked_r/t:
I travel a lot, and I'm a minimalist. In other words, I'll travel for a week and take a paper lunch bag as my carry-on with hopes that I can get by with wearing the same outfit the entire week. I don't like carrying a full Navigation system and use my phone. This isn't an 'iPhone lovefest' because honestly, I hate everything about Apple, but I never had problems like this on my iPhone.

My problem though is the GPS. I'm on my third phone because of the GPS. The first phone would never get a lock on GPS. I could be sitting outside with a GPS satellite dedicated to me directly above me, and it would still say "Searching for Satellite". That phone went back and I took on another one.

Second phone had a problem where every now and then it would work, then stop working and never start working again until I rebooted the phone and even then it was questionable if it would start working again.

I just got my third phone a couple days ago. I did a stock root w/ no bootloaders, used Entropy's 11/13 Kernel, then threw on UnNamed ROM. This morning, I started up my car to drive somewhere and decided to test the GPS/Navigation. It took it a couple minutes to find the Satellite, then all seemed to be working ok. Then 20 minutes later it dropped the Satellite and it spent the next 40 minutes of my drive into the office saying "Searching for Satellite" no matter what I did.

This is really important to me as is the ability to tether when I want to (hence the reason I want a phone I can Root). So what can I do. At the moment, I've (In my head, so I could be wrong) narrowed it down to a couple things that could be wrong.

1. It's the ROM that's the problem. Though unlikely, it is a factor and it's me messing with the way the phone was designed and distributed.

2. It's the GPS in general. Seems like 95% of the people on here aren't having problems at all. There does seem to be 5% that seem to be having the same problems I am.

3. My region has crappy Satellite Coverage. Doubtful since my iPhone worked fine, and unless Apple did something amazing like put in an entire dedicated Satellite network to work with Jailbroke iPhones then this kinds of negates this though.

4. My cars are interferring. While this is entirely a possibility (I never do think to test this out in the open not in a car, so i can't say for sure) if it is the problem, then the device goes back as it's much cheaper to get a new device than to replace 2 cars. Again, though, my iPhone never had a problem doing this in these cars.

I love the phone, the speed, the Android OS etc... I don't want to go back to an iPhone because I"ll shoot myself. I just want to be able to have GPS work on this as it's the only hold up on the device. Any help anyone can do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TOA Duck:
Take it back then. Honestly you say you have tried 3 different phones and all 3 are broken. I call bull****.

Never had a problem with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lonewolf69:
You didn't mention if you've tried in ANY of the three (3) phones if the GPS worked before rooting?? I'm not saying it's the rooting that's causing the problem, but I'm still running stock on my SGSII and have had no issues with GPS? Not saying it's not possible but three phones is kinda stretching it a bit to all have the same issue.

Yes, I know you took it back to STOCK rom with #3 but who knows if the STOCK ROM is really *STOCK*, you should try a new phone #4 stock without ROOT for at least a day or two to determine if it is a DESIGN/HARDWARE issue rule that out first and then try from there... If this still happens with STOCK phone, you may have to switch to another phone (iphone or otherwise)...

Good Luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stalked_r/t:
I just took it back to stock and was going to go outside to see if it had problems finding service. Though as mentioned in many other threads on here, it's not so much it finding you when you're standing still. It's when you're driving the streets of Atlanta that things get crazy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lonewolf69:
Hi Stalk,

Keep in STOCK mode and drive around with it and see if this is still an issue then... Also if you have an aluminum case, this has been a known issue where the TARGUS (SP?) korean made BEAUTIFUL/GORGEOUS case affected the GPS antennae. Try it stock no case on the dash away from DIRECT sunslight and begin troubleshooting there...

UNFORTUNATELY it may boil down to Stock and working GPS or ROOT with Tethering... You ***MIGHT*** not be able to do both...

Good Luck...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
If you JUST root, it shouldn't affect GPS - but test without rooting first.

And I agree - if you've got a metal case, DITCH IT.

So far, my experience is that the GPS chipset is almost as good as any standalone GPS chipset I've used - Sirf StarIII, MTKv2, STM Cartesio (the latter being the chipset in my Garmin Oregon, the former being chipsets in various Bluetooth dataloggers I've used for hiking). Actually, the GPS in this phone beats the StarIII and is around on par with the Cartesio. So far nothing I've ever used can touch an MTKv2 though.

I'm used to phones having crappy awful GPS chipsets - this is the first device I would ever consider using for geocaching on its own.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stalked_r/t:
Thanks for the replies. I did test just now on the way to and from lunch with stock everything. I do have a case that's part aluminum (Case-Mate). I didn't try it without the case. didn't even think it could affect this.

Running a stock setup, I attempted to get navigation to my lunch location The drive was about 6 miles each way. When I left the office, I started Navigation. It never found a satellite enroute to the restaurant. I never stopped it during lunch from looking, though I was in a building, so i didn't expect it to find anything. On the way home, same status. Searching for satellites. I'm torn. I want this phone bad, love the Dev support, and there's nothing coming from AT&T that makes me want to use an old Blackberry to wait for. I also don't know what I can do to test this further.

On the way home, I'm going to do something very simple. I'm going to wipe the phone. I'm going to skip all steps of the initial setup, just have service and that's it. I'll start navigation and have it direct me home. If it doesn't work, I'll look at my options. If it works, then I know it's an app that's causing the problem.

Unless someone else can think of something for me to try. I wish this just worked like I know it can.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stalked_r/t:
Ok. So an update. Wiped phone, not even associated with Google, Removed my 32 gig SD card for the heck of it, removed the case. Started nav and INSANTLY inside a building it had me pinpointed and was directing me to the next turn point to get home.

Here's the case I have: http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...rsion-Barely-There-Brushed-Aluminum-Cases.asp

In one of the reviews, this is said:

I'm going to keep this setup through tomorrow, then root the phone if there's no difference in performance and all is well. If that works fine for 2 days, I'll throw the Kernel on and throw UnNamed on. If that works, I'll throw the case on and see what happens. I now feel like this could be the problem. Thanks for the thoughts guys. I'll continue my abuse of the "THANKS" button and thank you all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stalked_r/t:
ride home was flawless. If ride to work tomorrow is flawless, I'll root and flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shammyh:
I haven't gotten enough free time to log the NMEA output, but I don't think our "SirfSTAR IV" chipset is actually even using DGPS/WAAS. Which makes the accuracy it get's even more impressive. The chip definitely supports WAAS, but who knows exactly how the implementation is done between Android & Samsung...

I've also owned a SirfStar III based Bluetooth GPS, a MTK-based GPS (also the best I've found), and several phones with dedicated and integrated GPS chipsets. Have to agree our GS2 is one of the best. I can't exactly wander around the house and have it track my every movement like my Bluetooth pucks can (also having a large ceramic patch antenna helps a bit no doubt), but my GS2 locks fast, and stays locked. What else can you want from a GPS? :-)

Might be worth it to look into WAAS either way though. On any standalone GPS unit, WAAS is the difference between 15-30 meter accuracy, and 3-5 meter (or better) accuracy. That is unless you have a military GPS unit, and the appropriate keys to receive the high accuracy P(Y)/M signals... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jetarpon:
If you want to get a good idea of how the GPS is doing, this app will show you the strength of your GPS lock:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shammyh:
Also, upon further research, the NMEA output is reporting that WAAS/DGPS is not in use.

Example: "$GPGGA,222520.000,4218.460926,N,07111.901869,W,1,06,1.2,77.1,M,-33.8,M,,*53"

Where the bold "1" should be 2, and the null field right before the checksum "*53" should be the age of the DGPS/WAAS info if it were in use.

The chipset in our phones (http://www.csr.com/products/35/sirfstariv-gsd4e) clearly states that it supports WAAS. And since the choice of DGPS or not is solely in the hands of the chip and software (wiring/antenna connection/configuration is irrelevant) perhaps there is a way to enable the DGPS mode? If so, I'm sure we would all see MUCH better position and accuracy information.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
WAAS probably requires modifications to the host processing binary (SIRFHost)

BTW, our chip is a GSD4t, not 4e.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] monkey28rb:
I was having problems with my gps losing its lock for the longest time, i got a replacement phone and it started doing it again AFTER root. Im thinking some app might be causing the issue. I read somewhere that ROM Manager can cause issues. I deleted it and so far my gps has been working. I am really baffled on to what can be causing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bigblue95z:
Its the case man. Great looking case, but kills the cell signal and terrible GPS. Mine went back after 3 days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stalked_r/t:
Yep. Ride into work today lost signal once. After letting it sit for a couple minutes, I rebooted. After reboot it worked flawlessly. Definitely the case at this point. Putting Root/Kernel/ROM on it today and seeing how the drive home is. If it's good, then the case can be tossed and I'll find a different one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shammyh:
Good catch. Interesting. Haven't checked out the sources, but I'm assuming all the GPS binaries are blobs? And source is not available?

Always wondered why mobile phones never have WAAS support... course then again, if the hardware was developed in Korea, that would make a little bit of sense. Seeing as there isn't WAAS coverage there, although I do believe there is an alternate DGPS solution for Asia.

[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
Honeycomb is only for tablets, not phones and there's no point in porting it.

As far as ICS is concerned, i think 175mb ram won't be enough. Of course i guess some devs may port ics for 256mb devices like popular galaxy ace. But for p350, journey is going to end at GB. :)
