My bro has this phone for tmobile and I have to say it freezes and I've tried 2 different from on it but it still freezes
[Member-Found Deals] NI55AN:
I've had a defy for over a year and it doesn't freeze for me. Has quite a few roms for it. Miui, Cm7, mokee os, ms2ginger, cm9, wiui v4 (miui pics port) just to name a few.

I'm currently using cm9 fuzz builds which is very stable. Only problem is that it has a locked boot loader so hardware acceleration doesn't work for me on play store, browser and trebuchet ( but I use apex ) but for other apps works fine.

On cm7 stats page it is one of the most downloaded to.(under name Jordan). Check out defy section on xda for more info.

I've enjoyed my time with my defy though my contract is nearly up.

Any one can give me guide and files fo upgrading Ginderbread 2.3.6(2.6.38.6 kenel version) to ICS for samsung Ace plus
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dachau:
I tested a lot of ICS ROMs(CM9, Twics, AOKP, 333, etc) and noticed the extremely bad GPS performance. Fixes took ages and satellite connections were not constant. In realtime navigation with Google Maps there were jumps and refreshes only about every 300 meters.

As i remembered that in pre-ICS times the signal was not that bad, I recently flashed Froyo (Darky ROM 9.5).

What I discovered: GPS fixes are way faster (about 8-12 seconds) and the satellite signal is constant (around 5-8 satellites). Also real-time navigation worked a lot more accurately.

I now ask myself, how is this possible? Is the modem responsible for this or the GPS driver? I know that the GPS implementation on the SGS is flawed but I do not want to apply any hardware-fix as the signal under Froyo (and maybee GB) worked a lot better and is quite usable.

Is there any software-fix (except for changing the SUPL server or applying another GPS.conf) that improves GPS to levels like in Froyo?
[HTC Sensation] monkor:
The title says it all, read on Android Authority that a Linaro build of Android runs up to 100% faster than stock ICS. CM9 is actually incorporating parts of it because it's so good. Will it be coming to the Sensation inevitably? What does it do that makes it so much faster?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoZZeR999:
The lockscreen is embeded in a few of the framework files (mostly android.policy.jar.out). Since it's a framework file, it's not as simple as just installing an apk. Depending on what changes, and how many files need to be changed, it may not be possible to create a universal GNex port.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lisali:
Hi all,

I am having huge GPS issues with my Samsung Captivate Glide.

The GPS will take forever to lock, or will not lock at all. If I use FAKEGPS app to set a mock location, it does not seem to acknowledge that at all.

I am rooted on the stock ROM. I have tried the GPS Status app, and the fix here. Still nothing!

As I am completely lost without GPS, I would really appreciate some help here.

Many thanks!:)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
I found the first time can take long but if you leave GPS on the next time it needs it, it will be fast. So I just leave GPS on all the time. Seems like a cold start issue. Is that what you are having?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lisali:
Hi - thanks for your reply.

No, my GPS is on all the time, as I use it all the time. It will either not lock, or lock on a HUGE area. Also, FAKEGPS app does not seem to be working now. :mad::mad:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Do you have Data enabled? As this is an agps I believe it uses Data to help it lock.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lisali:
Yes, data and wifi enabled.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Did it work before Rooting? Just wondering as Maybe it may be hardware? I am using Osimood latest and it seems to work fine for me. If you do try another Rom that is known to work and still have issues. I would try to bring it back to stock as much as possible and take it to your Service provider for some Warranty Service.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lisali:
I am not sure, but I think it worked before root. I did not have the time to use it that much before rooting it. I will try another ROM and see if that helps.

I am in the UK, so can't take the phone back to the service provider easily - a friend brought it over.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] antonyfirst:
I have the same problem as the op. I live in Italy. Looks like there is something else to enable other than replacing the GPS Conf. Formerly I have owned Droid 2 Global, imported from North America like the Captivate Glide... In that case, GPS fixes worked. I don't think our phones need to be sent back to any customer service.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lisali:
Glad to hear it's not only me. I also had Motorola Milestone 2 (aka Droid 2 Global) before this phone, and had GPS issues initially, but one of the fixes worked there eventually.

So wee need a fix for the Glide now, a one that works in Europe.

Thanks! :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] antonyfirst:
Still haven't found a solution. Did anyone put Gps to work in Europe? If so, how?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lisali:
Still nothing! :(

[Samsung Captivate Glide] killerskincanoe:
i'm not positive but i believe when you take NAM phone to EU you need to change something in build.prop in order for it to realize it's looking for EU sats ..... not positive however i know a few devs in the FLYER forum had to do this when they had NAM tablets shipped to them in the netherlands.... then when they made roms they had to give us a fix to switch build.prop back to NAM sats.... if any of this makes sense to anyone awesome... lol sorry for the ****ty explanation... i'll dig around and see what i can find. i'm picking this phone up for my mom today. her first smartphone.. so once she's had a bit to play with it i'll root it and dig around and see what i can find. btw feel free to do the same if you are already rooted
[Samsung Captivate Glide] santimaster2000:
Thanks, but, 2 things:

1) I live in Argentina, we use NAM, I have the same issues as the OP.

2) I don't think the bands have something to do with a problem that's only related to the Internal GPS, I mean, we are talking about GPS Navigation, not Navigation using a Data Plan/Internet Conection.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lisali:

Thanks for the response.

There's an app that will change the GPS server for you, but that did not help at all. So I'm also waiting for a fix. :(

Hey guys,

I have fixed Gps for myself. I have changed gps.conf manually, it now works like it should.

This is what you have to do:

Copy the following, make a text file, save it as gps.conf, replace it under /system/etc (first, mount R/W, you need to be root). Reboot. Try, and please report me. To me it's the only way it works, no app helped.

If you aren't in Europe, just change the first 8 lines with your local servers (they can be found online, and links are around XDA as well). The rest should stay the same.

Don't mess around with GPS tool apps, they aren't needed here.

If it works for you, please hit the thanks button. :P
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lisali:
Hi,

It's still not working for me. I can't find a link to donwload OsiMood but I just tried INC3PTION and still no luck. The strangest thing is that FakeGPS does not seem to be working any more - even with it activated and a mock location chosen, Google Maps is still showing a VERY rough location of where I really am. So I am just confused!

:confused::confused::confused:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] antonyfirst:
Hey! Actually I am also facing some issues: after the iniital enthusiasm, since it's been the first time gps ever worked at all, I notice that the locking time is very, very long... 5-10 minutes... I would encourage others to experiment. We are on the right track, but maybe we need to adjust some values.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lisali:
Hi all,

I am still having problems, and nothing I have tried works.

I have tried Inception mod and that did not help. I am now on OsiMood and while that seems to have helped just a bit, it's still not working as it should.

When inside Google Maps, it never seems to get a proper fix. It also keeps rotating the blue arrow that's supposed to be where you are.

FakeGPS app does not seem to work either. It looks like something is messed up in the way GPS communicates with the device.

HELP! :confused::confused::confused:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] igobloxxx:
I am also expieriencing the extermely long GPS lock times.

Once it does lock it has my NSWE direction backwards...ie im facing north it says south.

BTW- im on ATT in US. (Tennessee)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lisali:
Hi all,

My GPS is much, much better now. Here is what I did:

Download GPS status from Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=en

Open it then

Menu >> Tools >> Compass calibration

Menu >> Tools >> Calibrate pitch and roll

Menu >> Tools >> Manage A-GPS state and there do reset then download

Download GPS Aids Free https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.canaryx.gpsaids&hl=en

Open it, go to menu>>settings and if in the UK, choose "Customized NTP Server" and enter "uk.pool.ntp.org". If not in the UK, use one of the pre-set ones. Go back to the home screen and go through the three steps there:

Reset GPS Aiding Data - Inject Time from NTP - Download GPS Aiding Data

This was the only thing that worked for me. Now I get a lock within seconds, with accuracy of 15-50 metres.

Also, for Fake GPS to work on this device and OsiMood, the accuracy in settings has to be HIGHER than 0, so I set it to 1.

Hope this helps someone! Good luck :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] andyclap:
>15 -50 meters

Is that really the most accuracy we can expect? That's not very good compared to other devices I've had.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Lisali:
Well, better than not locking at all! I don't know about other devices, but 10-15 metres seems to be normal for mobile phones.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] edworkscomputing:
So same procedure as last time just do this:

To do this please backup your phone files first.

Need to root i927

Download Root explorer from market

Download this file :

hxxps://rapidshare.com/files/1017705311/gps.conf

change x to t

copy that file from computer to the sd card of your phone

Open Root explorer

go to sdcard and copy file gps.conf

go back to root of your phone

And go to system/etc and "upper" mount drive paste and rewrite original file

Restart phone

Tested in France, Germany, Austria, Slovakia full working getting quick signal

Welcome :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mindwarp.cz:
No, it's not working. Pardon me, but Your solution is total bull****. And anyway, settings you applied was more or less included in antonyfirst's post (except he presented more logical and wealthier settings than you).

Tested in Czech republic, NOTHING mentioned here really works. Maps are usable only thru GSM/data localization. Compass is working as well, but GPS is completely out of order, never got lock.

When experimented with GPS Aids, noticed that it takes a while at first time after GPS reset, but then it locks up very quickly.

I have done some more digging - as working GPS is vital for me. I have tried MANY things, and have found this to be of great help

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842694

The guide there mentions "LbsTestMode" which does not seem available on Captivate Glide. I have been able to download AngryGPS, which acts as LbsTestMode. Download it here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15695743&postcount=6288

After following the instructions from the thread mentioned above, my GPS locks much faster, and even more accurately now. Sometimes it's even accurate down to 15-20 metres.

A definite improvement. However, it does not do that all the time, so I am wondering why? There's an interesting thread here on AngryGPS http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1172428 which mentions gpsd in "system\vendor\bin\", but we do not seem to have that file. Also, that guide said to install AngryGPS as a system app - I did not do that. Also, AngryGPS never asked for SuperUser permissions, so I am not sure what it's doing and what's happening - but my GPS is better now. Sometimes even locks instantly!

It would be great to hear from someone that knows a bit more about Lbs TestMode/AngryGPS and explain things a bit.:silly:

Now I get a lock within 5-10 seconds to 8-10 satellites ! and if my gps starts to be slow,than i hit again the app,and everything works fine again for days! this is so far the only and best solution for gps issues for me!

[Samsung Captivate Glide] steadfasterX:
First: is it a problem getting a fix or do you even do not get satellites?

You can find this out by using e.g this app here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2

--> When started you should see at the right side beside the "radar" circle a count for fix/satellites. If you see a

"0/(any-number) e.g. 0/6" your gps seems to work but you will not getting a fix. That could be solved by using a proper gps.conf normally. But when you do not see any satellite after a while your gps chip MAY damaged ..
