Depending on how picky you are with the amount of money you want back, Amazon is another option.

Craigslist may be an overall better option than ebay since there's no mandatory fees that deduct the money you'll receive from the sale. But that'll depend on the area you live in...mainly in terms of its overall security and what not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] valleng:
Wow! I was wanting the Note but was debating about putting down full retail. Now I learn I can get the upgrade pricing even though I opened my line for the iPhone 4S which I sold after a month BTW. This is an awesome promotion, a big thumbs up for att !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 800REV:
I went to the ATT store to pre-order the note, and because I was in the middle of my contract, I had to pay an extra $250 on top of the $299 to upgrade. If I tried online, I had to pay the full price. Should I call ATT direct and try to get this changed?

Well I called ATT and they could not upgrade me. I explained to him that I'm reading others are getting an upgrade in the middle of there plan. He said that should not happen and the orders might get canceled or you will be billed the full $650 price. Some of you guys might want to watch out for this. It's all depends on who you get on the phone if they know what they are talking about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phungn:
so mine went through after I came home from out of country and ordered at home. Tried again for my dad after preorder and price went up to 650. lucky me

I've tried google and the torproject.org website but haven't been able to figure it out. I'm running the latest CM7 kang build with glitch kernel 13.1

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flying Scotman:
I have written an Android app (target 3.2) using Eclipse 3.7, I tried to sign the App, but on the target machine, either the App won't install or it installed but doesn't run with "application is not installed" error. In debug mode the app works fine with the temporary certificate.

I checked the App with jarsigner and it has "CertPath not validated: null" errors.

I have set the Manifest parameter debuggable and test only to false.

With the keytool I use the following command line

keytool -genkey -v -keystore vgpad.keystore -alias alias_name -sigalg SHA1withDSA -keyalg DSA -keysize 1024 -validity 10000

then for the Jarsigner

jarsigner -keystore D:\dev\Java\jdk1.7.0_02\bin\vgpad.keystore -sigalg SHA1withDSA -digestalg SHA1 -storepass puffin -keypass puffin V-G-Pad.apk alias_name

I have used various different options and also tried from Eclipse, export signed app... still the same error. Any help would be welcome, thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flying Scotman:
In fact I solved this using two actions,

resorting to the Java 1.6.0.30 JDK, I was using the 1.7 before, this solved the key and signing issues.

Ensured in the manifest I had only the android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE once, before the application tag

This was after using the adb logcat command to see the lancher issues :

Permission Denial: starting Intent {.... } requires android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dahraf:
My galaxy skyrocket has issues with 4g/lte connections. Certain locations i cannot access internet but can make calls. And at times the 4g/lte logo disappears and reappears after a min or 2. Anyone can

Help me with this. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] marclabrosse:
Are you running a custom ROM? Even if you're not, if you have an LTE plan, then make sure your APN name is set to ltemobile.apn in your mobile network settings, if it is then restore to defaults in your mobile network settings too... see what that does.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dahraf:
Yes, i am ruining custom rom. Is the Ltemobile.apn for Rogers? Cause my plan is for AT&T?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] marclabrosse:
Ah sorry bud, yeah that's for Rogers sorry... Just Google AT&T lte apn and you should find the settings pretty easily. Make sure you have the right one set, apart from that maybe restore to default from the menu while in mobile networks?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dahraf:
Thanks. i did some research seems that there are more people with the same issue has me. There is a problem with AT&T LTE and so called AT&T is working on it. I think changing the APN settings to other than lte should work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] resortpro:
Same problems with my skyrocket. Ever since LTE came to my area my Skyrocket has slowed down significantly. After doing everything ATT has said to do i was told to go to the nearest service center where they played with the phone for over 2 hours only to tell me that the issue has been escalated to the next level. Its not the phone or sim card but how the account is set up to use LTE. I'm lost in the never ending customer service hell of ATT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] digitalnrg:
been having with lte network for the last 2 weeks myself. Speedtest shows it's as low as 150kbps download. That's slower than EDGE speed for bleep sake. Spent hours with them on phone and they finally told me they have network problem until the 21st. I don't even know if this is true.:(

Hi,

Has anyone been able to successfully solve the GPS issue on GS4G? I was able to get into lbstest mode when on Froyo and was able to get a lock in about 2 minutes, but since the time I have upgraded to 2.3.6 official, there has been not one instance where I have been able to get a lock by opening up Gogle maps(not even after like 20 minutes!).

I have tried the app GPS Status &Toolbox which seems to be the only thing that was able to give me a lock but it takes about 15 minutes for the first lock.

Has anybody been able to find a suitable solution to fix the GPS issue on GS4G? If so please share, I am sure it will be extremely helpful to countless users like me!

PS: I really do not want to install a new ROM or anything but want to know if there are ways of fixing the GPS issues with on the stock 2.3.6.

BTW, I have root access.

Please help.

Thanks,

Rakshith
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
If you are rooted, you can dl super manager from the market. Open in and go to the apk manager. Find the lbstestmode.apk, click on activities and then in the first description, click the "create short cut" and it will place a shortcut on your home screen. Then open the shortcut navigate to supl settings and change the server to supl.google.com. Oh, and don't forget to rip lbstestmode.apk out of an old ROM before you do this...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] droidoc:
Could you please tell me more about ripping lbstestmode.apk out of an old ROM? Sorry for being such a noob!

BTW, did the above method solve your GPS issues completely?

Thanks,

Rakshith
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
There are other threads in this forum with fixes for this issue. Also you can try the GPS Aids app from the market.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] droidoc:
I tried the GPS Aids app but was not of any use. Also, regarding other threads, I was unable to find a concrete solution to this issue, that's why I thought I would put up a new thread.

Is there anything other than GPS Aids that I can try?

Thanks,

Rakshith
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Hmm, I don't know. Did you find the thread regarding wiping out a couple of xml files? I'd link you but cannot sesrch @ the moment.

Also GPS Aids has a hard reset function thst might help. Fair warning - it will completely reset your phone so you will lose data, appd, and settings. Make a backup first!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iamperson347:
AngryGPS

-Download and Install angrygps on your phone from above

-Create shortcut on homescreen (add > shortcut > activities > angrygps> ...angrygps)

-Run and click tracking test

-Let it run till the accuracy gets under 10m (it will get multiple satelite lockons)

-Your GPS should now lock fairly quickly from now on

This was taken from this thread BUT the CWM flashable zip never worked for me, so i just stripped AngryGPS out and installed it manually. The file at the top link is the AngryGPS.apk that i stripped from the CWM zip.

Let me know how it goes..

EDIT: Supposedly this program used to be included in certain roms, so you may already have it. I think it should be included simply because it seems to work for people to get their GPS going AND its only 106kb, so I don't think people would mind the extra room it takes up ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Download Valhalla Black Final. Raver's got a custom GPS driver in it. Trust me, it works well. haven't had issues with GPS since I've used it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iamperson347:
I have noticed the GPS has been doing really well on Valhalla Black Final. I ran angry GPS just to make sure (it's something I do when I flash a new rom), but thanks for the information on it having a custom GPS driver. Good to know :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
He told me a few months ago when he made it that the GPS would lock in seconds. I didn't believe him at ALL (the default GPS driver on our phone is pretty crappy) then I finally got around to testing it and I couldn't believe how fast it locked. =|. Haven't really used others' ROMs in a while so I forget that the default GPS is pretty damn crappy. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gohora:
Just wanted to mention that the GPS is working extremely well for me also since migrating to Valhalla Black...and that's after trying many apps, patches and hair pulling since getting the SGS4G a year ago.

Kudos to the crew for their most excellent dev work, keep it up!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
GPS works fine for me on octane 3.0.

Of course I never had GPS problems even when completely stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
There are many threads out there on how to pull and push apps from other ROMs, just search for them. Yes this did fix the issue. When you are in lbstestmode, hit the get position test button and let the phone set for a few minutes. After that, you shouldn't have much wait time to get a lock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kenerly:
Thanks Bro for the info, this fixed my GPS.

Aside from this, here's another way of using AngryGPS. This will install the system app with an app menu icon.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15721652&postcount=13

This has the same file, just not modded.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15695743&postcount=6288

In both cases a phone reboot is ideal, though not really necessary with the modded one. Both work the same and didn't require anything else outside of stock.

There are a lot of threads on this subject for many of the Galaxy S models by Samsung, and each model varies. The system application to test and change settings on the SGS4G (and probably the Vibrant) changes between stock Froyo and stock Gingerbread.

On Froyo (VUVKB5), the application, called LbsTestMode, is ready and easy to access with the Samsung system code: *#*#3214789650#*#*

On the 3 Gingerbread (VUVKJ6) phones I tested, the same code, along with trying out a few others didn't bring up anything. So I installed the AngryGPS (new name in 2.3) files linked above, allowing me to use the system code (or app menu if you installed the mod version) to access it.

You can also look at this simple hardware fix too:

Would the angry gps method work on the ICS roms? CM9, AOKP, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hwchan:
And if it does, what has worked out as the best way to configure it? I had it working when I was on build 40, but it would always revert to it's old behavior of not locking if I rebooted or turned off GPS or even exited AngryGPS.

People you need to read the OP. It tells you what it will work on.

The package will convert a standard rom to a MIUI rom, so you'll have to choose a ROM you want to use as base. According to the manual, there are two requirements:

Android 2.3.3 - 2.3.7 supported

ROM with root abilities

For those of you having this problem:

Just try to remove this line (so does weather-database.db) from prebuild.mk below add-prebuilt-etc-files
[Android Software Development] BigSplit:
Ok, for anyone with similar problems, i went searching and found a couple posts on the MiCode git from people posting the same issue. It seems that the common answer is that patchrom/apktool is looking for a second framework-res.apk(a vendor specific one.. ie touchwiz or sense) to be installed. Since I'm porting from an ASOP Rom it doesn't exist. I copied the existing installed APK and renamed it from 1.apk to 2.apk(so I had two) and got passed these errors. Who knows if this will actually work though, after this I came up with some smali errors when trying to compile android.policy.

And of course the actual smali files erroring out are not shown so I need to run smali/baksmali directly and figure out where the smali errors are at now.
[Android Software Development] BigSplit:
