[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chesterr:
Yea I already posted it over there!!

The thing is NOT the working it's not accurate anymore..well let's see with the future updates.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sandtang:
Problem solved once I updated to .73. Very happy now.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] slick79:
Which file of 73? I updated to 67 still having the same problem
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hpsauce37:
I still have GPS problems even with. 73 all though mine is the flashed version not the official UK release.

Have problems with location on beautiful widgets etc
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] slick79:
Its starting me thinking of getting rid of the phone completely as GPS is important you would think
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
My gps works fine actually, I tested it several times on trips longer than 2 hours.

I'm on .73 now, but even before then it worked just fine.

For your beautiful widgets, are you actually having gps enabled all the time? or making it acquire location via your signal?

Everything I use with location picks me up quickly.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] slick79:
Which 73 file should I try don't see a UK one?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
I'm on the Lebanon flash, I don't think the UK devices officially have the update yet.

I think theres a global generic one floating around, that may work out better, but remember to back up your build.prop so you can reflash back when needed :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] slick79:
Would I not be able to do the repair function through pcc to go back?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] GT35pro:
GPS didn't pinpoint your location inside your house. Your wifi and phone signal told google where you were. For gps to work, the satellites have to actually see you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] slick79:
upgrade to 73 the SG one GPS seems to be holding out so far been 45 mins so hopefully all fixed
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sandtang:
I'm on SG .73 version.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 7ilmi:
Reinstall Google maps
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] poorboy212:
I never seen this problem on SXS :eek:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] charmz2k2:
I find that it loses signal completely when I go through a tunnel then wont find it again until I switch off the nav software (after I've come out of the tunnel).

Serious problem.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pezo:
I also had the problem where after 20 minutes or so the GPS doesn't get a lock anymore until I restarted the phone.

At first I thought it was a software problem with the sports tracking software but now that I read this I hope we get a fix with ICS...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Cholek3:
I haven't seen a post with GPS problem anymore, when people updated to .73 software. Looks like it has been fixed, when Sony released .73.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pezo:
I remember reading from someone with .73 and still having the GPS problem, I can't recall where though...

I think somewhere on the Sony forums.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Cholek3:
Well, I don't know about that, but... if there still was be a problem, much more people would report this by now I think. It looks like there is one or two guys who reported it. Myself, I use GPS a lot and never had a problem, even on .67. But situation is worth to be monitored.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pezo:
I will try .73 firmware as soon as my carrier releases it (or sooner, if they take a lot longer) and another tracking software and report back here whether the problem is gone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HyaeneLeipzig:
still the problem exist

I'm on .73 stock unrooted original German generic firmware. I have the GPS problem, too!

I was going by bike and recorded the track with app "my track" about 2 hours. Sometimes it looses the GPS but then it became fix again.

BUT

After my trip there was no GPS. Tested with WIFI on, Data on GPS on. But no GPS symbol in status bar and no gps fix. Tried on foursquare, google maps, navigation, etc. Downloaded app "GpsFix", but didn't work-no fix. Reboot and all works fine. But that is not the way it should be.

Sony xperia S (lt26) GPS problem solution

Hi all

Here is what I did, after trying everything.

Install MapFactor Navigator

You can have your favorite GPS program already installed.

Turn off your GPS program

Turn off GPS

Start MapFactor Navigator

Start your GPS

From MapFactor Navigator -> Tools->GPS info check if your phone find sattelites.

After sattelites are locked, press Home button and leave it to run in backgroung (MapFactor Navigator...offcourse)

Start your favorite GPS program

VOILAAA...It does work.

After 3 hours still working without problems...There is something in the GPS control setting in MapFactor Navigator that keep alive the GPS.

Just thank me... for the moment, only available sollution.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnchbx:
I have a refub. i897 . It came with KB2. I have had this for 4 or so months. I have flashed many roms. The last month my camera will not work with i897 roms. I currently have Doc Masters ICS rom, Camera works great even when recording video. I also tried MIUI roms, camera works great. Any thoughts on why this happens?

Thanks you! ;)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crt60:
My guess, and its only a guess but you prolly need to flash a full stock ROM with a pit file and w/o bootloaders. Your partitions might be messed up. Flashing ics just reconfigured your partitions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levanr:
same problem

thanks for solutions
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
It won't boot if you partitions are messed up though....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bravomail:
One more reason to use ICS.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crt60:
If an area of a partition is corrupt it will, that is the only logical explanation why it would happen, why would the camera all of a sudden start working in ics? The low level format of the partition where the camera firmware resides it messed up. I don't think the phone just decided it doesn't like gingerbread cameras anymore. And I doubt the internal circuitry has been altered or damaged in anyway because the camera wouldn't work at all. When you flash full wipe gingerbread roms through cwm, you are only erasing the data, there is no formatting involved. And if you flash a ROM through odin without a partition table, you are basically just erasing and overwriting the existing data, the partition remains unchanged. A pit file will completely overwrite the partition and replace it with a new partition image, as flashing any ics ROM does. So any abnormalities will get overwritten by the new image.

Just sayin...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Just a shot in the dark, dunno if its even logical, but it being a refurb, maybe they used a different camera in it?

The I897 roms have specific hardware drivers, cm7, miui, ics use aosp drivers... So maybe the captivate drivers don't detect the camera whereas the aosp ones do?

Like i said probably a dumb thought, but just an idea. Ionno

:rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crt60:
I'm going with your answer bro, I like it, problem solved :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnchbx:
Thanks

Thanks for your input. If I go back to GB I will try odin with pit file. :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devcager:
Hi,

I wonder if the battery gets hurt when I have it all the time at home in my docking station. If permanent charging can reduce the battery life. When I come home I put it in the dock and leave it there until I go out again. I work at home so the device is in the dock the most of the time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
It can eventually lower the charge of the battery at a quicker rate than if you were to partially discharge then charge it again. If you are running custom kernels, the BLX (Battery Life Extender) mod will probably help reduce the impact, along with a full charge-discharge-charge cycle once a month or so.

BLX forces the maximum battery charge (battery full) to be at a lower % than the default. On the Nexus S, the max is about 96%, anything above that being damaging. If you lower this to around 80% to 90% through BLX you can probably get the best lifetime out of your battery while keeping it on the dock most of the day. You can also adjust this on the fly, so if you ever need the extra mile just raise it before/while charging. NSTools can adjust it very easily, you just need a kernel that has it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexfiorani:
yes it can

even thought batteries are smarter these days then a couple of years ago, you shouldn't abuse of them. If your nexus is at the dock and is already fully charged, unplug your charger from electricity. And like said: -"do a full charge-discharge-charge cycle once a month or so".

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taz0697:
I got a canadian bell gt i 900 stock rooted with gingerbread 2.3.3and i would like to flash a custom rom and kernal onto it but i need to bac.kup my stock rom first.but everytime i go to back it up i get verification errors.. so i google it and i come across something that tells me my stock kernal has e3 recovery and it needs e2. But as i google more it tells me there is no kernel for my stock rom that will work. which means i wont be able to backup my stock rom. its all kinda confusing to me and i just dont want to brick my phone. if someone could point me in the right direction tha would be apreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taz0697:

A basic rooted kernel for the Bell 2.3.3 can be downloaded from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21655532&postcount=492

It still has the 3e recovery so may not resolve the issue you are having, but it will give you root.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taz0697:
i have the device rooted through super one click. but i want to be able to flash like a cynogen mod with like a smearphone kernel(sorry for bad spelling). but i cant get backups of my stock rom because i got 3e instead of 2e, therefore i get verification errors using rom manager to backup. and then i need the rom and kernel files i want to flash.
