[Vibrant Android Development] rexrbgh:
I'd only had working GPS on one 2.2 rom since I'd gotten the phone in July of last year...until I'd flashed this! Thank you so much!
[Vibrant Android Development] chui101:
I think it's only in the more recent builds since they redid the init system that it happens. What nightly are you using, or are you on stable? I'm guessing the init scripts were reordered so that the network got initialized after the files in /etc/init.d were run, but I haven't really looked that much into it.

Interestingly enough, they did add in a gpslto service in init.aries.rc that calls a nonexistent file, /system/bin/get-gps-lto, but I was playing around with it and couldn't get it to work.
[Vibrant Android Development] twotone8:
Already had a pretty stable gps running with Streamline Kernel and CM7 nightly (kb5)

it always took about a minute for it to load up, but it was getting to a point where I could expect a gps lock with a bit of hopeful regularity.

After flashing this, my first attempt for a gps lock would yield no results no matter how long i left it on, and if i exited out of gps test, the gps icon would never reappear. i attempted to delete gps data and do some tiff tests as well, but for some reason the gps icon will only initialize once per boot, and i've never gotten anywhere with it.

Should I re-flash streemline AFTER installing this patch? Do you recommend deleting gps data before you flash?

I've restored a pre-fix backup and reflashed twice now, yielding the same results.

Might try again tomorrow. I was very hopeful for this one.

Streemline has already worked wonders. I'm confident gps will only get better with the vibrant.

edit: hrm. I might have gone about this incorrectly. You have a gpsfix.zip file attacked to this post, yet your instructions are to flash yagf1.zip. I had assumed that you meant your gpsfix.zil file and perhaps made a type or something. going to attempt to flash one more time with the specific mirrored yagf1.zip file. What is the gpsfix.zip file attached to this post? It's not mentioned.

edit 2: also, step 3. in the first post is to flash the kernel of your choice. if i'm already on the kernel of my choice is this necessary? must we reflash the kernel AND the fix in one go from cwm before booting up?

edit 3: HOOOOOLY CRAP! THIS IS AMAZING! I used a kernel cleaning script in cwm, then flashed streamline, then the yagf1.zip file. booted up. and got a lock within 10 seconds. it's the fastest this puppy has ever EVER fired up. I'm so very impressed. Well done sir. This is the best gps signal i've ever gotten, and i was already impressed with the progress with eugenes kernel. Give this a try people!

edit 4: dumb question. in angry gps, what exactly does 'delete gps data' do. does it negate any of this fix? everyone seems to recommend it, but i don't want to ruin any fixes i've flashed.
[Vibrant Android Development] chui101:
Reflashing the kernel will overwrite this GPS fix, so no, don't reflash it.

Oops. I didn't notice that, you're absolutely right. They're the same file, just with different names. I decided to rename it something with a later letter in the alphabet so I could just hit the vol+ button in recovery a few times to get to the file more quickly :D I've renamed it now.

nope, just go ahead and flash this on top of it. This cleans up any interfering GPS fixes that might have been flashed alongside your kernel.

I think it deletes the temporary data about the satellites in current view generated by gpsd that can be used for a "hot fix" within the next few minutes. Deleting it forces your GPS to do a "cold fix" (assisted by the xtra data and network location). It doesn't negate this fix.
[Vibrant Android Development] bigtom624:
I finally have a working GPS on my Vibrant. This is the only fix that has worked for me. Every time I turn my GPS on now it actually stays locked on to satellites for the whole time I use it. This has NEVER happened to me before. Thanks alot.
[Vibrant Android Development] moldyghosty:
Never had working gps on gingerbread until now. Thank you very much kind sir.
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
Seemed to work, nice work.. thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] markinct:
Excellent work. I never quite got there with previous GPS fixes for CM or other 2.3.x ROMs.

I love using Waze to monitor traffic conditions, report problems, etc. Lack of reliable GPS had kept me on 2.2. It takes a little while for GPS to get a lock, but I suspect that will improve.

So, do you have a tip jar?

Which script did you use?
[Vibrant Android Development] jay661972:
This thing works...
[Vibrant Android Development] jsparakov:
The GPS attempts to lock in maps then the GPS lock icon/indicator never shows up again when I try any other program that requires GPS... until I reboot.

Flashed the latest nightly with everything wiped

Eugene streamline

YASGPS fix

I think I'm in the "results may vary category". From what I've been reading, that is because Vibrant hardware differs from one another. The one I'm using was manufactured Jul/06/2010.
[Vibrant Android Development] twotone8:
Don't give up yet. That's exactly what mine used top do when I flashed this. just keep trying things. what worked for me one time was simply to disable GPS before a restart, then re enable it and everything worked great.

I had it working perfectly, them had to do a nandroid restore, and that problem came right back. Somewhere between reflashing kernels, fixes, restarts, and finally just turning of GPS before restarting. every thing works great again.
[Vibrant Android Development] chui101:
Can you try fixing permissions and clearing your dalvik cache in recovery? If that doesn't work can you send me a logcat?
[Vibrant Android Development] jsparakov:
I've cleared dalvik cache many times already. Edit: but I'll continue to do so every time I make an attempt.

I'll go ahead and try those two with the nightly. Let me know if you have any particular way of doing logcat other than adb (I don't do this very often).
[Vibrant Android Development] chui101:
Fixing permissions is under the 'advanced' menu in CWM recovery, I believe.

You can do a logcat on the phone by opening up the terminal emulator and typing logcat. You can redirect output to a file with -f (i.e. 'logcat -f /mnt/sdcard/logcat.txt'). Run it before you open up Maps, then let it run in the background while you open up maps. When you are done, close it with CTRL-C (VOL- + C in the terminal emulator).

Alternatively, you can do this from your computer by using adb if you have it installed. Just do adb logcat -f /mnt/sdcard/somefile.txt and it'll save a logcat to the same directory as it would have on your phone. CTRL+C exits.
[Vibrant Android Development] chui101:
Nope, but I'll take atinm's lead and suggest that you show thanks by signing up to be an organ donor!
[Vibrant Android Development] jsparakov:
Thanks a lot for your efforts and help, chui. I had to revert to Stable 7.1.0.1, hopefully that doesn't make a difference. Radio is KB5.

(Any flashing and permissions was done in recovery)

Recover to Stable 7.1.0.1, cleared cache, cleared dalvik, reboot

Flashed Ultimate Cleaning Script v4, flashed EB-Streamline, reboot

Flashed yagpsf, reboot, fixed permissions, reboot

Before Google Maps logcat (permission denied, dev/log/main is 0 bytes)

Open Google Maps

logcat post-Google Maps (again, permission denied for logcat)

Result: GPS icon/indicator works once. If I try to reload maps or turn my screen back on, the indicator no longer comes up. For some reason, logcat isn't being written into to it. The permissions for dev/log/main is rw-rw--w-.

Edit: I just tried alogcat, and it's giving an overwhelming amount of output. So I think it's because I don't know how to use logcat.

Alright, got some logs, I'll be PM'ing you.
[Vibrant Android Development] kdf2883:
I don't know if this helps but i'm not seeing any issues with KA7
[Vibrant Android Development] jsparakov:
I've been using KA7 for the longest time now just before flashing it just for this. Yes, the problem persisted using BALI and Software GPS Fix v1.5.1.

In any case, I'll try KA7 again more methodically (KA7 + Clear Dalvik + Fix Permissions) and see if that allows the GPS indicator to work more than once per boot.

Out of curiosity, what's the date on the box/under-battery for your Vibrant? Mine is Jul/2010.
[General Questions and Answers] cbutters:
Ok sorry if this is more of a math question, but I am trying to figure out how to calculate the height and width of a screen using the screen size (diagonal) and aspect ratio, and my math just isn't adding up.

So lets say I have a phone that for instance has a 4.65" screen, and has a 1280x720 resolution, and I want to find out what the height and width of this screen is.

So I know that the pythagorean theorem says x^2 (width) + y^2 (height) = c^2 (diagonal) and I know that the diagonal is 4.65. (4.65^2 is 21.6225)

So I have two facts here

1:

x^2 +y^2 = 21.6225

I also know that on a 1280x720 resolution screen, that the aspect ratio is 1.77778. So I know that

2: y = 1.7778x

So if I combine these two equations, I should have this right:

x^2 + 1.778x^2 = 21.6225

If I solve for X here, I get x = 2.789, so the width of the screen should be 2.789 inches right?

Unfortunately, I know that the actual screen width is 2.28 Inches.... How come my equations above are spitting out 2.789 inches? I know it is a flaw in logic on my part...... but what is going on?
[General Questions and Answers] yazattack:
re: calculating iphone 4 aspect ratio

I was working on this same problem going in circles with just knowing the diagonal is 3.5 inches and dimensions 960px x 640 px!

Then I read that **pixels per inch** is 326 ppi !!

That should help you figure it out!

(w/out the diagonal dimension, obv.)

Review from Android Central

http://www.androidcentral.com/asus-transformer-prime-review
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ravynmagi:
I really hope this isn't an indication that quality control is still going to be poor from ASUS. I went through 3 original Transformers before I got one that didn't have some funky issue (mostly with the display). And all had funky out of balanced speakers.

Sounds like some reviewers got Primes with battery and wifi problems. Hmm.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
Yah it is a bit worrisome that 2 reviewers had that problem. Hopefully just a fluke. I am not worried that asus won't replace faulty units but I am just worried that it will take awhile to get a replacement if you need one!

Thanks for all the links everyone

Thanks to this now we see there were never any real battery issue or wifi issue. They were just sent a faulty unit on their initial test run. All looks like promising data to me on The Prime. Clearly gets the best battery life out of all android tablets very closely matches apple ipad1 and 2. Plus that was just in balanced mode.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokflurry:
So my nexus got stolen... don't really want to get into the details. Now I was planning to not get a new phone for at least several months but now I'm stuck with a dilemma:

Should I get another Nexus S? I love the phone but man it's hard to pay a lofty sum of money to get the same phone that's a year old.

Galaxy Nexus? I wasn't too impressed by it and I'm not sure if I'm willing to pay for such a pricey device.

Another droid?

What would you guys do?

[LG Thrill 4G] romasalah:
Is there a difference between the 2 phones.I thought it was another name but why there're 2 forums?

+ I will buy an unlocked thrill will it be necessary to reunlock the SIM each time I flash a ROM? and should I choose only thrill ROMs-not O3D?
[LG Thrill 4G] 0space_monkey0:
because one was released in the UK and one in the US.

and no.
[LG Thrill 4G] anduios:
very much the same. only different is the 3g baseband.

thrill has 850, 1900

o3d p920 has 2 versions: 1. 900 / 1900 / 2100

2. 850 / 1700 / 2100

check your phone provider baseband use so that you buy the right one to get 3g/4g
[LG Thrill 4G] romasalah:
NO to ROMs or SIM UNLOCK?
[LG Thrill 4G] romasalah:
Thanks
[LG Thrill 4G] cproaudio:
I thought the Thrill has 850/1900/2100 WCDMA band and the O3D has 900/2100 WCDMA band. O3D will not work with US 3G but Thrill will work with Eu/Asia 3G.
[LG Thrill 4G] 0space_monkey0:
you can use 03D roms...

I'm using the EU baseband in Los Angeles and i'm still getting full service. (granted no hsdpa atm) but still flying high.
[LG Thrill 4G] anduios:
you are right about thrill with 850/1900/2100

http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_thrill_4g-3886.php

for some reason phone arena post different lacking 2100

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/LG-Thrill-4G_id5327

i am sorry about that

as for o3d, i have a version that has 850 / 1700 / 2100 and confirm it works with u.s 3g/4g tmobile
[LG Thrill 4G] blackhelio:
They are the same except one is made for Europe the other for ATT USA. You can use both roms interchangeably.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeRock13:
First things first, Hello everyone! I am a recurring lurker, rarely logged in and few posts to my name. I am not a complete newbie to flashing but I haven't gone so far to flash full custom roms with new modems and the like. I flashed my Captivate last year to the leaked Froyo build and then back to Eclair before the official update was released.

I hope I can get some help here, I've spent close to 6 hours working on this problem and nothing seems to be working.

Here is my current situation:

I broke my original Captivate last May. LCD broke, not the glass. I never bought the digitizer, instead opened a new line of service (starting a new business so I needed one anyway) and got the Infuse.

Anywho, I bought a phone for parts cheap on eBay and swapped the digitizer assemblies. Plugged it in and got the promising charging battery screen. Only problem is it doesn't actually change, kind of just frozen.

I can get into Download mode, tried using Odin One Click to Stock Eclair since the phone won't boot past the White AT&T Splash Screen. I've done a few different One Clicks with Odin and still can't get it past that screen.

I've done everything from rebooting my PC to switching USB ports.

Short of buying a new digitizer assembly new in the off chance my scavenged one was water-damaged or whatever, any suggestions?

I know that I'm supposed to have a fully charged battery, but it wouldn't charge while off before I tried even booting it up.

EDIT: I have also tried Odin 1.7 with the proper PDA .tar files as well. No luck, obviously. Every time I've tried flashing with Odin, it goes through the whole thing, and says it was successful. I'm really stumped right now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lce67:
Had same prob.. had to change digitizers 3 times 3rd times the charm..lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeRock13:
Yeah, I realized that might be the issue. Just going to sell them off for parts it looks like. Put proceeds toward importing a Galaxy Note.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybormatt:
I recently installed the energy rom on my evo (the version dated from 23Nov). When I go into the "customize quick settings" menu (under energy tweaks->notification menu options), it gives an error message and goes back to the energy tweaks menu. Please see attached image. It basically closes unexpectedly and I never get to change any of the quick settings. I was wondering if this is a known issue or not? I did a search and found nothing on this forum (or google for that matter).

I also had problems with restoring my mail settings with titanium backup, but I would bet you guys tell me that is a non-related problem and go pick a fight with the tb guys. Basically, after restoring stored mails and mail settings, the mail application fails to load (closing unexpectedly), giving a similar error as the one from above. I had to basically just restore only bookmarks and sms/mms messages and redo the mail settings myself.

Can anyone help with this? Or maybe the developer of energy rom can fix this and implement in the next release.

I would have posted this in the energy rom thread, but there is this gay rule about needing 10 posts. So, I guess I will wait till I get 10 posts.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeff V:
I had the same type of problem. (HTC process stopped.) I think it has something to to with the semitransparent drop downs. I had to put them back to the original settings, and it has been fine since. By the way, this is by far the best ROM that I have flashed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zac68:
I got my tracking noticed last night that my Galaxy Nexus was on the way. The next update said "Clearance Delay". I rang DHL and they said that the package was going through a Standard Customs Clearance which takes 24 to 48 hours. Not too happy about that since items normally clear customs immediately.

So my questions are:

1. Have any Aussies had this same issue.

2. What's the chances that the package has been halted because the paperwork is wrong.
