[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] XAviierG:
Vivid is really awesome. I'm running his Rom right now and when his update is out in a few days I'm gonna use that as a base. We got alpha cm9 once that gets beta then cm7 is next . Once those are released I'm jumping on it for MIUI and MIUI 4.0 :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
Damn alpha cm9 already?? great for you guys i know ppl will be happy once MIUI hits dev forum and with you working on it. Rom will be on dev forum soon haha:D

Cool.thanx. Didn't even realize I had posted in the wrong area.
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
For some reasons, people are still asking for GPS solution. I hope creating this thread will help some people.

To begin, you need any root file explorer like (ES File) and AgnryGPS apps.

Next, you need to modify the Build.prop in the [/system/] folder. Watch this video by reverendkjr

Look in the Build.prop and find the following code to modify. If the line is missing, add that line to the Build.prop file.

Next:

When using MAPS or GPS, use the 2G or EDGE only.

I tested my GPS in my car
[Vibrant General] adinis78:
Cant find agnrygps app in the market, did you maybe misspell it? Or wrong name? Would like to try as i have issues using gps on vibrant always takes for ever to lock on to signal
[Vibrant General] Moped_Ryder:
AngryGPS is for GB / ICS ROMs only. Someone may be able to upload one here.

Also to the OP:

Does this work for GB and ICS ROMs? What did you test it on?
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
Here is the app I took out from another rom http://www.multiupload.com/ASDEG64KRV
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
I didn't have a chance to test this on GB yet. This one is working great with ICS Passion ROM Nelson Kernel. I'm sure about other ICS and kernel.

but I appreciate your help :)
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
There are many lines. I could not see the double code.
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
Did you modify the build.prop as I indicated in the op. Secondly, make sure to replace the GPS property. And last, use 2G Network Only.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
Have you tried re flashing your rom? a while back I tried to get my gps working better and ending up losing it. No matter what fix I use did no good. I re flashed my rom and got my gps back
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
Good advice, thanks nomadrider :)
[Vibrant General] thedarb:
Ok, I have to ask... Why the 2G only?
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
Usually, I don't ask why, but will it works.

Since you asked why, I may say because it works lolz

Actually, someone said that when you select 2g or edge only, your phone will not switch between between network type, which gives your phone more stable data connection. To find out, test it yourself. I have tried many times already, the 2g is always giving me a lock.
[Vibrant General] thedarb:
Understood. I can't see me dropping to 2G, which was why I balked at it. With the amount of data I consume, I can't trade high speed for GPS. Sorry. Guess I was mostly curious because it can work fine in one rom, and not at all in others. Then there are some rom's I've had where I had to disable assisted gps, then gps would work fine... although general location until GPS locks doesn't work at all, and the battery life in that scenario was bad.

I shall continue to wait until I hit the right rom again. :)

Thanks for the help, though.
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
You use 2G when you're using the GPS or Map Navigation. Otherwise, you turn off the 2G to switch back to the 3G or HSPA+. The GPS or Map Navigation does not need large amount of data connection. When the phone couldn't get GPS lock or data connection keep switching, most likely, it will drain more battery.

ICS passion v12 GPS issue

I have installed V12 ICS passion from stock ROM

Now it works only once after power off and restart but not always.so it is like almost not working.

Is given soultion will work for v12 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362961)

thanks in advance
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
I'm glad it works for you :)
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
Try it. If it works, great. If it does not work, just change it back.
[Vibrant General] uhs74:
sorry - i mean i m asking?

well i will try with v13 now let see.

thanks
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
If you try the v13, make sure to flash the boot2 or boot3 first because the v13r1 does not include some of the gps files. I just flashed the v13r1 + boot2 & 3 a few hours ago. It works every time regardless my phone is having a bad dream or not (aka deep sleep) lolz
[Vibrant General] uhs74:
i just tried v13 only - gps not working at all

is this correct way to install v13 + boot 3?

Reboot in Recovery

Goto MOUNTS & STORAGE >> FORMAT SYSTEM

Wipe Data / Factory Reset

select zip file from sd card

select *v13.zip

reboot

now aft restart enter timezone and act ifno

again reboot in revoery

select zip file from sd card

select *boot3.zip
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
If you already installed v13, just perform these steps:

"reboot in revoery

select zip file from sd card

select *boot2.zip"

If still not work, try to flash boot3.zip.

Good luck
[Vibrant General] uhs74:
i installed boot2.zip and restarted phone & it works very first time after restarting phone but afterwards not at all

so i go ahead install boot3 - not gps working at all

so i installed ICS_Passion_v13_cleanup.zip - again on very first start it gps works and then not at all.

so back to square - like without gps :-(
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
What can I tell you because mine has always been working even if I stand next to a pretty lady lolz
[Vibrant General] uhs74:
Should i maintain any detailed in sequence of steps?

should i start with v13 and under same reboot recovery install all 3 boot without restarting phone to full levels ( get home screen))?

thanks for ur time
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
No, just flash boot2 after flashed v13. And don't forget to use the GPS Status to assist your phone.
[Vibrant General] uhs74:
well i tried diff combination but no luck

under same recovery mode session without full restart of phone -I tried as following

1)install v13 + boot2

2) install v13+ boot 2 + boot 3+ clean up

3)install v1+clean patch

for each time installation , in recovery mode I did factory reset,wipe cache partition,format system,wipe dalvik cache and then install v13

i have cwm recovery 5.5.0. 2
[Vibrant General] Decepticaons:

[Vibrant General] lo5th0pe:
i am also having the "use once" bug in ICS. that one time, it's beautiful, but after that, it doesn't work every time. sometimes it does if you lock, exit maps, and then go back in, but if you open maps or any other app that uses the GPS and it doesn't lock before you exit, GPS shuts down and doesn't come back on until after reboot. very strange issue that i don't know how to fix.
[Vibrant General] VibrantThemer:
I wish I had a magic power to make all of your phones work like mine. Do I sound like a politician now? lolz

The only thing I can do now is to let you guys download the File I modified.

Flash at your own risk.

I will not responsible for anything that may go wrong with your device.

These are the steps:

When using MAPS or GPS, use the 2G or EDGE only.

ICS_Passion_v13_cleanup.zip

ICS_Passion_v13_RC1.zip

ICS_Passion_v11b5_boot.zip ( kernal 3.0.8-ICS_Passion ICS_touched #4)

before rooting i was on Foryo 2.2 without any GPS issue.

well first time i root and get into V12 & found GPS was not working ( new to rooting world :-) )

i installed v13RC1+ diff combination under same recovery session ( without phone fully started)

so now I found that will following combination it worked in all condition ( on off gps , on gps after long idle time of phone (deep sleep ))

Make sure the installable zip files are under phone memory "sdcard" folder & u have back of all imp data and app.

i did all following steps in one recovery session ( didnt reboot or restarted in between)

1)Reboot in recovery mode

2)do Wipe/Factory reset

3)wipe cache partition

4)goto mount storage -> format system

5)goto Advance ->wipe dalvik cache

6)select install from zip file

7)select ICS_Passion_v13_RC1.zip from sdcard folder

8)after instillation complete again select install from zip file ( don NOT reboot or restart)

9)select ICS_Passion_v13_cleanup.zip

10)after installation -wipe cache partition

11)select install from zip file-select ICS_Passion_v11b5_boot.zip

12)wipe cache partition

13)reboot system

I used GPS status app to check GPS signal besides GPS map or navigation.

if first time it does not work - just reboot in recovery and wipe dalvik cache,wipe cache partition & fix permission.

Personally i tried and it worked but not sure technically which steps are correct or which sequence of steps are imp.
[Vibrant General] Majin GeoDooD:
I must be lucky or something.. I've never had issues with the GPS on my Vibrant. I actually got the phone from my sister back in December and started with Passion v7. I was told the phone was purchased as soon as they came out.

Recently I did a full wipe install of v13. My prior installation had just been non-wipe installs since v10. Here are the steps I followed if it may help anyone.

v13 RC1 -> Factory Reset/Wipe Data/Format System in CWM -> Install CM7 -> Factory Reset/Wipe Date/Format System in CWM -> Install v13 RC1 -> Run cleanup patch -> Profit!

Just tested this morning.. Opened Google Maps and performed a location, GPS found me in about 10 seconds. Reset timers in CPU Spy and to confirm deep sleep, unlocked phone 25 minutes later with CPU Spy showing 95% deep sleep. I opened Maps again and got a location lock in about 15-20 seconds.

It must just be my luck, but I've never had any GPS issues with this phone!
[Vibrant General] mveksler:
When using maps are you sure you got GPS lock and not network assisted location? Remember that when you have Google location service enabled it will show you on maps even without getting lock.
[Vibrant General] Majin GeoDooD:
Yes, GPS is turned on and on the notification pulldown I get the "Location set by GPS" message. My location is first shown using Google location services with a blue dot and once GPS gets a lock it turns to the blue arrow.

Hi,

My son took the player to a sleep over and just called me with a question. He turned the player on, left it for a couple of minutes, came back to an update screen with android and papers flying, with a message "Downloading to target."

It's the player's first time on his friend's wi-fi network which doesn't have a password.

1. Has anyone experienced this message before?

2. Any idea what's updating?

3. Will the player automatically connect to a new wi-fi network (that doesn't have security) without prompting?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
"Downloading to target"?

Are you sure it wasn't a big "under construction" triangle sign with:

"Downloading...

Do not turn off Target!!!"

If it was that, he somehow entered download mode... It should be difficult to enter this accidentally...

It will not automatically connect to an insecure network without prompting, unless the network shares the same name as one you've connected to before.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
He must have accidentally got into download mode by pressing power + volumeUp. No big deal, just tell him to hold the power button until the device turns off and turn on again. Downloading mode is used when you want to flash a ROM to your device using ODIN.

Hope i helped!

Yeah, if you accidentally enter download mode, but you did NOT start ANY flashing operations, it's safe to exit with a long-press of power.

[LG Revolution] gumnaam.sur:
No credit to me please.

I modified the script attached in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1366934, for LG Revo.

I merely changed /bin/hostname to /system/xbin/hostname, which is the correct path to access the hostname command in GingerVolt 1.3

Run using script manager, (su and on-boot).

Why change hostname ? Well by default the hostname is something like 'android_<IMEI-NO>', which is way too long, and makes it difficult to spot your device in your routers 'attached devices' log.

Change the "LGRevo" in the line "devName=LGRevo", to what ever hostname you like.

#!/system/bin/sh
#change devName to whatever you want.
devName=LGRevo

if [ "$(/system/xbin/hostname)" = "$devName" ] && [ "$(getprop net.hostname)" = "$devName" ]
then
echo "Device hostname does not need to be changed."
else
echo "Device hostname is being changed to $devName."
/system/xbin/hostname $devName
setprop net.hostname $devName
if [ "$(/system/xbin/hostname)" != "$devName" ] && [ "$(getprop net.hostname)" != "$devName" ]
then
echo "Device hostname has not been changed."
else
echo "Device hostname has been successfully changed."
fi
fi
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Nice find, just a quick question though.

Is there any way you could elaborate a little more on this? Why is shortening the hostname and making it easier to find in the "attached devices" log important?
[LG Revolution] gumnaam.sur:
More explanation on why change the hostname....

As of this writing I have about 6 android devices connected to my home wifi router. Most wifi routers have a page which shows the details of attached devices. This helps you to determine if any unwanted device has managed to hook on your wifi etc.

With the default hostname like 'android_<IMEI-NO>', the list of attached devices is hard to de-cipher. So changing the hostname enables me to make some sense out of the 'attached devices' page. I know exactly which device has hooked to my router.

Secondly, on my router's config, I have assigned static DHCP for all these devices, and also entered them in the DNS. That way each device can talk to another if needed, say over 'SMB' / 'SSH', simply by using the other device's hostname, w/o having to remember each devices IP.

Makes sense ?
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Oh ok cool! I never even thought of doing it so it's easier to check for unwanted devices. Very nice find, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twitceh:
Hi, I've noticed a few things about my galaxy nexus, the setting apps page for running and cached never equals or is even closed to the used memory. Also the apps settings page lists so few apps in comparison to my task manager.

The reason for my concern is that running my nexus for a while a day or two without a restart, my nexus will seem yo reload the launcher more and more often when I press the home button after launching an app. It now even happens after using whatsapp and browser not just large applications such as games. Restarting of launcher means my launcher will be blank for a second or two before loading as normal .

I am using stock 4.01. If anyone has any advice would be grateful . Normally after I restart the phone everything is normal again.
