[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yokken:
i've flashed between different modems and roms over the 5 months i've had my e4gt and gps locks within seconds for me. i'm on blazer4 EL29 right now, with the EG30 modem. it's always had the best signal and speed for me. screwed around with some FC modems last night, bootlooped my phone trying to downgrade from FC07 in CWM. had to use heimdall to flash EL29. s'all good tho.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jordan2333:
My gps works great on stock and all el29 roms since i got the phone when it first came out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Here are my before and after shots.

Before = 3meters lock

Now = 200meters lock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
The GPS issue is definitely a bummer. I'm unrooted fully stock & have tried everything possible to get GPS to lock on. The only thing not making me from making a big stink about to Sprint is that I hardly have to use GPS. Still this issue definitely needs to be addressed & fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I took mine into sprint today. this BS needs to stop.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
Do any of the other carriers variations of this phone suffer the same problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Okay if you are running ICS it is a known issue to have constant GPS lock-ups. I can run GB EL29 flawlessly with perfect GPS, and then flashed any ICS leak and have the GPS lock up after using it a few times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ronny71:
Same here...But Ill live with it for now...At least I can get it to work...:rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Im on EL29 and no GPS lock. Sprint said my GPS was working perfectly fine but i showed them right in front of their face that it is not. And the guy STILL kept saying its working. I'm like no man the GPS light is still blinking and it's accurate to 70 meters...They decided to send me a replacement but I said that's not gonna do any good. They're still sending me one though...God damnit -__-
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezar:
Hah! I thought I was the only one rocking the EG30 modem. Still is the best for me, and never had LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] testlinkt:
Did you have to pay for the replacement? If so how much and do you have insurance?

Having the same problem with the damn good and thinking of either sending it back to samsung or send to sprint store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
no and i have TEP. insurance means i have to go to ausrion and pay 100$. if i didnt have TEP i would have to pay 35$
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] radrian92:
Its the only thing that makes me miss my Photon, always got a fast lock with accuracy of 6meters ALL the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stearmandriver:
I didn't notice if anyone suggested it yet, but one thing that genuinely helps a lot of folks get a lock is the app GPS Status.

Download it from the market (free), then set the preferences to refresh agps data on every load. Then, when your gps won't lock, open GPS Status (I keep a shortcut on home screen), allow it to refresh agps data and it will usually get a good lock pretty quick. Then you can close the app and open Maps or Nav or whatever you actually want to use.

One of the problems with the gps seems to be that it won't lock without recent agps data. This is why your phone gets a good lock for a few days then falters. It needs new agps data.

No, this is not how it should be. I'm not making excuses for Samsung's gps issues. Just offering a workaround that is actually pretty quick and reliable, at least for some of us.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
This is one of those things ill never understand. Ive never had any problems with GPS on my captivate, my Nexus s 4G or my Epic 4G touch. Sure sometimes it takes a few seconds for it to lock but ive never had it NOT work. And it makes me laugh when people test their GPS feature inside their house to see if its working or not and then get upset when they cant get a lock from their basement. I have a Garmin Nuvi and things pretty awesome, and it cant even get a lock inside my house. I guess im just lucky with all my samsung phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ronny71:
I tried them all nuthin works...But I had GPS lock every single time on a GB Rom...Now on ICS...Its crazy...But now Im lockin on GB restorin back to ICS and gettin locks...Its wurkin but not like it did....:eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
that happened to me..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daviddem:
MY gps gets lock with accuracy 600 meters but when I turn on wifi, it locks with accuracy of 40 meters

?

?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
thats cheating :p lmfao. pin points like your router range or some ****
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bsloanindy:
My GPS used to be crap, but it's suddenly MUCH MUCH better, and has been for a couple weeks now. I believe it's because of the new FCXX modems... i'm on FC15 right now and I just started GPS test and it locked within 4-5 seconds, with about 100ft accuracy (2nd floor of my house).

I also keep my GPS off most of the time (seems like Facebook and other check-ins work better with just network location). But now when I use RunKeeper with GPS it's much better with the new modems. I haven't needed to do an AGPS reset/update lately, either.

I'm running Blazer v4.0, Modem FC15. Hardware version D710.10.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] galaxytabevo:
My GPS is ridiculously slow at times as well, but I downloaded an app called "GPS Test", and clicked settings ->Clear AGPS -> Update AGPS

It seems to fix it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordJummy:
weird. I've never had a problem with GPS on this phone from stock to many GB and ICS roms ...

Guess I'm lucky?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Extremely lucky lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
No problems for me either, this is my second E4GT (first one the screen croaked) Never had and gps issues, just used it today and locked in to 8 meters for 60 miles straight, and 4 meters when not in motion. my first e4gt had the EL26 modem, my current one has the FC18 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xerxax:
I had the ics GPS issues with every ROM until the release of FC18, since I installed this modem my goods has worked great. My data speeds have not been fantastic but GPS seems good. I'm thinking of making my phone roam on the Verizon network but I'm not sure how safe that is. I suppose well see.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icbless:
does anyone know how to port xperia S home to miui? just installing the apk does not work. i really like that home, and miui. and widget and stuff.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xSliv3r:
Hello guys,

Unfortunately I still have problems after upgrading to ics ...

I upgraded from gingerbread and I had many problems and continue crashes.

The rom is official Samsung Xeo.

To solve the problems I did a wipe and re-install all the applications from the market (like I have a new phone, without syncing).

Now I have two problems:

If you use third-party app sms messages are sent double (two equal) [For this issue I'm following another post]

The most serious is this:

If I try to set a background image from gallery the phone freezes.

What i do: I go to the gallery, I select the image and immediately becomes all black. After I see popup "Application crash....".

I'm using Nova Launcher but with TouchWiz the problem is the same.

Do you have any idea on how I can fix?

I sought for applications that can set backgrounds. I managed to change but after the phone goes in spurts (with GPU acceleration enabled).

Thank you for your time,

Sli
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] siedus:
Try turning of '2d-hardware acceleration' in developers options. Worked with me.

Good luck
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Phone_Guru:
The duplicate SMS problem is apparently solved in LP7 though I didn't have it in LPH/J or Q

I read in another thread that the gallery issue is caused by ticking the force GPU rendering option in developer options in settings
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xSliv3r:
Hi sedius...

I must tell you .... You're a genius ...

I tried in every way ... almost all!

Thank you so much, you have been invaluable!

You deserve a big thank you!

sli
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xSliv3r:
Thanks to you too, sedius had already shown me the right way;)

For text messages can you indicate the post? (I used the search function but could not find anything). I can not figure out if I can fix it or if it is a known unresolved bug!

Thanks for your help!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bam85:
I'm a noob, so I do apologize for the inconvenience.

I'm currently running mijjz ics blend v2.3. FC14 base, FC07 kernel with recovery (amazing work)

I rooted and added cwm with EL29. (Odin I believe)

I do have a nandroid backup of my EL29, but have read that it is not safe to just boot that up from recovery.

So, I'm just looking for a straight forward answer on fixing the gps with my current setup.

Much thanks to all developers and users that share their knowledge and hard work! Rom is running amazing! :)

I would like to return to mijjz ics v2.3. made a back up already.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
-odin el29 w/ cwm

-nandroid current

-wipe and flash el29 nandroid

-get gps lock

-boot into recovery

-wipe/flash ics nandroid
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bam85:
I'm imagining that I must do full wipes. I use calk's full and modded formats.

Can I still use those as in:

-Odin back to EL29 w/cwm

-nandroid

-wipe cache, wipe delvik, calk's full format

-flash old EL29 nandroid

-get lock

-recovery

-wipe cache, wipe delvik, calk's modded format

-flash ics

Safe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Sounds safe and has worked for me (and others). I personally only wipe once but I always see everyone saying you should do each wipe three times so you may want to do that. Give it a try and see.

Good luck!

After reading many post in all forum about ROM installation i am here to ask some question. few days before I bought second hand sensation mobile. which i did not noticed it has installed Leedroid_sensational ROMv4.3.0 In saudi arbia... In this rom my battery is getting very hot (46degree).and wifi and mobile data is not working properly (its getting automaticaly ON OFF)...

BUT now what should i do.?

Shall i need to update to leedroid latest version OR install Android Revolution HD:confused:

So plz any one help me..

Thanks u very much
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
You could Backup the ROM and then update to LeeDroid. If the problems still aren't sorted then wipe and try ARHD.

If the battery still gets very warm it might be indicative of a bad battery or an app keeping your phone awake.
[HTC Sensation] mohseen khan:
Plz help me install official ROM of Saudi Arbia

I have one more Question. i am thinking to install Official HTC (Saudi Arbia) ROM (Gingerbread) Of HTC sensation Z710e... Then later i want to update to Latest HTC Official ICS when its launch...

Guessing by general knowledge stock ADW.

Have you tried a different launcher or updating ADW from the Play Store?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lo2ay:
There was an option in ADW to lock the desktop

I don't remember from where as i have deleted it long time ago (Launcher PRO PLUS FTW !! :D)

I think if u press the menu button you'll see that option but I'm not sure

[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
PATCH NO LONGER NEEDED!

This post used to discuss a patch I made to show the Navigation Keys in Phone GUI mode. I am happy to announce that the patch is no longer needed.

In CM9 the Phone GUI is activated anytime you set the lcd density to anything higher than 160 dpi. With the Nook Color when you go to the Phone GUI the navigation keys are suppressed.

There is a method to activate the Navigation Bar that requires no patches or zip flashes. Just add the two lines below to your local.prop file in /data. I recommend using local.prop instead of build.prop so that it is not necessary to re-edit the file after each flash of a new ROM. If you do not have this file, create an empty txt file and put these two lines in it:

qemu.sf.lcd_density=240

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

The first line tells your system to change lcd density to put it in phone gui. You can change the 240 number to any number above 160 and the phone gui will be displayed.

The second line tells your system that your hardware has no physical keys and enables the soft key navigation bar.

Reboot.

If you want to return to 160 dpi and the tablet gui, just delete or comment out the two lines above and reboot.

Also CM has added the ability to customize the navigation bar. Go to settings, system, navigation bar and it will tell you how to do it. You can move the buttons around, add buttons, change how they perform, etc.

5-28-2012 is the last day I will be making patches.

No-moar zips! Yay!

Edit (6-24): Removed last patch. Too many users will still downloading it and it does not work properly with the current nightlies.

Removed screenshots
[Nook Color General] bornagainpenguin:
The board lists the latest version as only being a few bytes compared to the other earlier versions of this, is this a sign of a bad upload?

Will be giving the second to last version a try to see if this is what I hope it will be.. Thanks!
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
I still see 4.1MB as the size of rev 11, which is the latest.
[Nook Color General] bornagainpenguin:
Okay, that's screwy. On my nook it said it was only a few bytes, but now on my phone it is listing the same size as the others. Sorry for wasting your time.

Oh, a quick question while I have your attention --is there any way to get the two status layout but with a lower dpi (160)? Or are we stuck choosing between phone and tablet interface if we want more screen space?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Not sure what you mean by two status layout. Do you mean status at top and navigation on bottom?

160 always gives you the tablet layout with the status bar at the bottom, with the battery and time, etc there. You can use other launchers that allow you to modify such things as icon grid layout, etc, but the full status bar remains at the bottom.

If you set anything above 160 (180, for example), it goes to phone mode with the status bar at the top, and if you use my patch, the navigation bar will be at the bottom. You can change the density to anything above 160 and my patch will work. I just chose 240 because it is what I like and gives the most market compatibility. After applying my patch, just change the value in build.prop in /system (ro.sf.lcd_density=).
[Nook Color General] bornagainpenguin:
Yeah, that's what I meant. I will probably give 180dpi a try next time I use the nightlies. Going to mess around with CM7.2 Kang and see how it goes. Thanks for everything, I really hope your patch is made a default option once CM9 goes stable.
[Nook Color General] bornagainpenguin:
Could you please check the last file again? This one: update-softkey-240dpi-4-17-Rev13.zip Thanks.

I can see it to be the same size as the others, but when I try to download it all I get is an html 404 page. update-softkey-240dpi-4-15-Rev12.zip downloaded just fine.

I'm also not able to download a complete Rev13. I just get a file with a length of 554. I was able to get Rev12, but it's not working with the latest builds. Thanks for all your help on this!
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
The old versions do not work with the latest build, that's why I updated it. I just uploaded it again. Try now.
[Nook Color General] bornagainpenguin:
At least ten of those were mine. I was out and about last night and yesterday morning so I tried at different places and times before asking about it. I didn't want a repeat of last time where I asked and it was fine later that day. I appreciate the effort you guys put into this kind of stuff and the last thing I want to be is a bother.

Just downloaded it on my phone and it looked like a complete package! Thanks!

update: how long is it supposed to take on reboot to apply? I'm stuck in reboot for a while now and starting to worry...
[Nook Color General] bornagainpenguin:
Okay. This is not working for me at all. I don't know how many times I've flashed now. All that happens is a message about Android updating my applications and then a return to the bootanimation that never ends. Not sure where things are going wrong. :banghead:

Wish I knew what I was doing to screw things up. :mad:
[Nook Color General] bornagainpenguin:
I tried it with that build and I tried it with the one from yesterday. In both cases, I get a message about moving applications and a return to the bootanimation. Then ten or more minutes go by while the bootanimation spins with no feedback or signs of ever getting back into the GUI.

Really frustrating.
[Nook Color General] slack04:
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but will this work with Eyeballer's nightly builds (with/without opengl) or just with the one in the "work in progress" thread?
[Nook Color General] mateorod:
The update to the CM repo broke the packages I offer in Botbrew, which happens when they significantly update the framework apps. Leap's patches always seem to break at he same time. The behavior your describing is what happens when you match a patch and a ROM that are incompatible. I know you have had problems with the downloader, (trust me you're not alone.) Just, one more time, flash the latest build and the latest patch together. The repo did not update again, I can promise you that. I bet with all the flashing and patching, you just did not patch the right build.

I have swapped in the old system apps maybe fifteen times over the last couple days, I know what that behavior is. And I use my own version of leapinlar's patch, so I know exactly how it works and what that behavior means. If it is working for others it will work for you if it has downloaded correctly.

The system apps work in any build for the Nook Color, opengl or not.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
This patch will work with eyeballer's, Samiam303's or your home built version. All you have to make sure of is that you are using a version that is reasonably close in date to the build. As CM9 evolves and improves the base files that I am patching change and old versions of the patch will not work on that build. For instance, the 4-15 patch will no longer work on 4-17 or newer builds. I try to upload new versions when that happens.

I just tested eyeballer's 4-19 non-opengl build with the 4-17 patch and it still works.

@bornagainpenguin - are you flashing the build first and booting to that to be sure the base build download is ok before you flash my patch? If you do that it should say updating only 1 application after flashing mine. You might also try manually clearing your dalvik cache. That is what it is supposed to be doing automatically when it says updating applications.

Sounds like you are having download problems with with your devices so that might be the issue too.

[Nook Color General] bornagainpenguin:
I am making sure I boot up to a complete Android environment (beginning the setup part where they ask you which language and your google account, etc) before rebooting to recovery to install.

I just gave it another try using eyeballer's 4-19 opengl build and everything seemed to work right up to the point where I tried to set the DPI. Using Nook Color Odds and Ends results in no change. I then try LCD Resolution (Root) which results in an error on reboot:

Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.

I suppose I could just give up and accept the 240 DPI, but I really don't want my icons to be that big...

Back to CM7 with me I suppose....

--bornagainpenguin
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
What were you trying to set the dpi to? The best way to set it is to edit the build.prop file in /system manually. Change the line ro.sf.lcd_density=240 to some other value above 160. That line does not exist there until you flash my patch. Also make sure there is not a density line in local.prop in /data. Some of those density changing apps try to set density there and if they do, that setting never gets overwritten in a flash and always overrides what is in build.prop.

[Nook Color General] bornagainpenguin:
180 DPI. Trying 160 DPI just means that I lose the phone GUI

I've never had great luck remembering the adb commands to push and pull files. I could probably try using root explorer to copy to the SDCard and do it on the netbook? Will look into this....

Just checked that out and doesn't seem to be a factor. Thanks for bringing it up so I could eliminate it though.
