Due to a pretty high demand of people that have been PMing me about my GPS I would like to write up this short help guide that works for me and many other people that have tried these settings.

1. I would like to point everyone to this thread, the Solder fix did wonders on my phone and many others that have done it, it REALLY Does work and it REALLY does work well. If you know someone that can, or if you can solder yourself, DO IT, you will be very happy with the out come.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878970

I Take no credit for the above fix as it put together by a few people, it really helped many people to get their GPS working properly, the solder step only added to it.

2. This is a step by step guide to MY settings that work on any rom that does not have a broken GPS kernel and always has great results.

A. Head to the Market and download SGS Tools, or search XDA for it.

B. Tuen off your GPS and Wireless Networks

C. Open SGS tools and click on Secret Codes

D. Click on GPS- Test and Settings (LBSTestMode)

E. Click on Application Settings, Change Operation mode to MS BASED

F. Go back one menu and click on SULP/CP Settings and change server to supl.google.com Port number 7576

G. Go back to the main GPS test menu and click Delete GPS Data

H. Reboot

I. Once fully rebooted, turn on your GPS ONLY, do not check use wireless networks.

J. Go outside, REALLY GO OUTSIDE, dont be lazy if you want this to work, Start up maps, or Nav and give it 3-5 minutes, you should have strong lock.

K. If you STILL CANNOT Get a lock, proceed to the next steps...

L. Head to the Markget and down load GPS Status

M. Open the app, click options, click tools, hit manage A-GPS state and hit download.

N. Let the app sit, WHILE YOU ARE OUTSIDE, you should now see a lock within a few minutes or so...

Anytime there after if you cannot get a lock, open GPS Status and redownload the A-GPS State and it should see a lock everytime. These are the settings I have been using for months and they work flawlessly on any rom I have been onm, as long as the Kernel allows it. Give it a shot, even if you dont apply the solder fix (But I cant stress enough to give it a go, it sounds a lot scarier then it really is and it will do wonders for your phone. Feel free to PM if you have any other questions and I will do my best to help :)

I think solder fix is not required for GPS devices after Oct 2010.

Anyways, what's difference in results for MS BASED and MS ASSISTED ?
[Vibrant Android Development] mryounghc:
thats what i want to know too
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
THis is what Google/ Wiki turned up

Standalone - The handset has no connection to the network, and uses only the GPS satellite signals it can currently receive to try to establish a location.

MS Based - The handset is connected to the network, and uses the GPS signals and a location signal from the network.

MS Assisted - The handset is connected to the network, uses GPS signals and a location signal, then relays its 'fix' to the server. Which then uses the signal strength from the phone to the network towers to further plot the user's position. Users can still maintain voice communication in this scenario, but not 'Internet/Network service', (i.e. Web browser, IM, streaming TV etc.)

MS Assisted/Hybrid - Same as above, but network functionality remains. Normally only in areas with exceptional coverage.

Great work Sols and Wood!!:)
[Vibrant Android Development] Woody:
Just in case anyone was looking for SGS Tools because I am not seeing it in the market. There is an SGS Toolbox in there but that is slightly different that this one. Do yourself a favor if you use GPS. Use Sol's settings and it will drastically improve your locks. I tend to drive on some backward country roads that don't have names, but rather numbers and the GPS always gets me right to the front door of my destination.

If you download the apk, click the thanks button. This isn't in the market anymore, fyi.
[Vibrant Android Development] Solissfiend:
Thanks Woodrube, your the man!
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
Thanks Woodrube for popping in this app

Thanks Woodrube for popping in this app, when I am at the market after I download my paid apps (87), it is hard to remember all of the free apps that I need to download as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] monstah_rain:
I'll give this a try when I get home tonight. I can get GPS locks on Froyo, but on GB or ICS roms it takes a long time to connect, if at all. Sometimes I have to reboot the phone (not really practical) and it'll give me a lock instantly.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpgamer523114:
well, sprint is offering this phone for free. are you guys happy with it? anything is a upgrade at this point, I own a HTC Hero, and am not impressed with any other of sprints phones besides this one. Does the CDMA one work with the ROMS here? I am a little confused, because for the hero there was a GSM forum and a CDMA forum, does the Nexus work the same way? thanks in advanced!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Nexus S 4G is the CDMA version of the phone.

In my opinion, I don't think the Nexus S is worth renewing a two-year contract for. You might be even better off getting a Epic Touch 4G.

Nexus S is a huge upgrade from HTC Hero, don't get me wrong but there is another generation of phones with dual-cores and quad-cores coming out next year. By the time your 2-year contract expires, you will be left behind.

I got it for free last month and coming from the hero, u won't be disappointed .... well except for the track ball, but u will get used to it.

I recommend that u use a ROM with cm7 aspects so u can customize the 4 main bottom buttons.

BTW sprint is also offering both the evo and evo shift for free also this wknd if u want a physical keyboard.

Coming from the hero.....

It's all good :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpgamer523114:
I agree yes, but I do not need bleeding edge, which is why I've kept with my good old hero, it just works. :) I do light web browsing, rss reading, facebooking, whenever I want, and that is really all I need. Mobile gaming isn't a concern for me, I spent way too much on a computer for that, but I'm going to stick with the hero for now and hope they come out with a phone that is more about usability then specs (a dualcore is cool n all... but is it really needed for a phone for battery reasons? probably not.) I was considering it just for the 1ghz processor which would be double my stock clock speed now, with the same battery life give or take.

Any help appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] jernejk:
Why is battery use not resetting itself, it says 7days on battery... shouldnt it reset to zero everytime recharged?
[HTC Sensation] big_smurf:
You haven't said if your phone is rooted or not. If you are rooted, boot into recovery and you can wipe the battery stats there. I belive some custom roms have it built in so that after the first 100% charge the battery stats are wiped automatically.

If you post more info about your phone you'll get better answers. :)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blinksilver:
Hi all,

I just got my hands on a galaxy tab 7.0 plus and was hoping to build a rom for its community (no one has really built a rom for 7.0, its a small community and we just got CWM).

Ideally I'd like to kang together a stock Honeycomb 3.2 rom, free of touchwiz. I was hoping to port over one of the Google I/O Roms for the 10.1. I figure our devices are close enough that I can try tossing over the build props, make sure to use the boot/recovery images from the 7.0 and maybe, just maybe, get lucky. Or at least have a good start.

The problem is that I can't seem to find any of the Google I/O roms, past 3.1. Do those device not get updates? Is there another Touchwiz free rom I can start from? I remembering reading a while back that TWUX is an optional update for the 10.1. I've been looking around, but I'm have a heck of a time finding links that clearly imply I'm dling a Touchwiz free rom. Most of the just say "Stock" which is a bit ambiguous.

If someone would be kind enough to point me to an ODIN and CWM mod version of the sorta rom I'm looking for I'd be greatly appreciative(and hopefully if I can get this out the door, so will 7.0 community)

Thanks!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
As far as I know, the i/o tab never got 3.2. And there are no 3.2 ROMs for the GT10 without touchwiz.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blinksilver:
Well that's no good. You wouldn't happen to know the chances using a 3.2 kernel on 3.1?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
Considering that Pershoot maintains kernels for 3.1 and 3.2, I'd assume there's a difference. But I'm not a dev, just an enthusiast. I'd try PMing Task650 or one of the other ROM devs. They're more than happy to help new folks.

All,

I was using Touchdown before for my Exchange emails, but decided to try the default email app on the Nexus. What I would like is to view by default "All Email Folder" so no matter where my filters sought out to what folder it will show in main inbox.

I believe in the default mail app, you have to view the emails in the respective folders?

Thanks!

I too had the same problem - I just use Moxier Mail, which allows you to select all folders in your 'Sync Folder'. Unfortunately the default mail app still doesn't let you do this.

It's a pity the stuff in the build prop, won't do jack. It sets flags on that which does not exist, but on Sony built ROMs IMHO. It's Sonys tweak mod for there ROMs... Like Voodoo, Neutral colors, Galaxian, Speedrom blah etc.

As a quick FYI, I spent a lot of time yesterday trying to get the stock RUU update to flash my HTC Raider. I played around with a custom ROM and wasn't too happy with it, but stupidly I didn't backup my stock rom with CWM... Lesson learned!

Anyways, if you are trying to go back to stock and are hitting Error 155 during the RUU Update, try re-locking the bootload with "fastboot eom lock". I tried this today and the stock firmware flashed on first try and I'm back to the good old Bell bloat!

Hope this helps anyone!

Hi I was trying to make a rom and ended up in a bootloop, so i made a mistake and flashed the boot.img from the android sdk folder to my raider and now I can't get into hboot, but with adb can get into cwm. i did have a backup and can restore the backup.

now when the restore is complete i try to restart and the phone hangs at the htc logo, then the screen turns black. phone never boots.

any ideas on what might fix this?

Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] abray1978:
Can you get back into HBOOT now that you did the restore?

I'm by far no expert but I'm curious if you can get back to HBOOT if you can put it into fastboot, re-lock the bootloader (fastboot oem lock) and then use the RUU to restore back to stock. That should fix the boot image and I you then can start the process over again by unlocking and playing.

That's what I did and I'm back to a non-bricked phone. You can get the Holiday (aka Raider) RUUs by searching these forums. Just download the one for your carrier.

Good luck

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluefisch200:
Are you really happy with ICS on the Nexus S?

I need to say, i have tried any version that someone has created, i hate it.

Why? Because of the new multitasking, you can see 4 apps where you have seen 8 before, there seems to be no GPU acceleration in this view, it's sometimes slow and i just hate it.

The music player is soooo slow, needs around 2-3 seconds just to load if you open him for the first time. Yeah, Android has multitasking...but with only 512MB of the Nexus S this ****ty player will always be closed.

The Gallery app is also damn slow, it is not accurate to touch-points, it has laggy scrolling. The old 3D Gallery was just 1000 times better.

And then the home launcher...it force closes many times in the background, he lags sometimes and isn't working fine at all. Launcher Pro has proofed that fast launchers are REAL.

Other then that, it's OK...slower then GB, but OK...i hope Google will fix some things or i won't buy any further Android device...WP7 all the way (also just 1Ghz and 512MB but soooo fast)...
