[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sharukins:
well as I don't really need GPS I just keep it off for the time being. I'll overwrite the gps.conf with the original file again as soon as I find the time.

I copied the file, edited it with editor, and moved it by terminal after removing the original file. had to remount file systems with rw-permissions obviously before doing that.

whatever, we'll see if everything will be fine when using the original file again.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sharukins:
okay, I reverted the gps.conf file and deleted secgps.conf. I don't get system crashes anymore but gps doesn't seem to work anymore. is there a original secgps.conf? I didn't look for it before overwriting it. if yes does anyone still got the original file?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] chrisxt:
There is no original secgps.conf, you have to add the file otherwise the folder GPS will be completely empty.

I suggest to give it one more try using Root Explorer (not sure if you did?) and see if it still gives a bootloop.

If nothing works you could try FasterFix which will automatically edit gps.conf.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Chesnut:
Thank you!!! My GPS locked within 20 seconds! I have NEVER had it that quick before! It has always been a wait of 10-15 MINUTES!

For the record, it did NOT work on Froyo. I had to switch to a Gingerbread ROM.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] zsolt64:
this is work in all rom! i tested!:D:D:D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ghpk:
Thanks a lot, Ever since I moved to kyrillos Rom, GPS fix was taking little time, then I edited ntp server in gps.conf but didn't knew the other methods.

Just copied your suggested 2 files, Now my GPS FIX is faster may be it took around a minute on first run, but its little cloudy out there

I got 10 sats with 10 used in fix, it shows accuracy of 3 mtrs, however I am sure this can also go till 1 meter accuracy too.

Here's a fresh screenshot just taken.

It did showed my Latitude and longitude once fix was stable.

Keep up the good work.

As you example in first page suggests

its should be NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org to in.pool.ntp.org

I was about to sell this phone for 4.5k last week, but such tweaks and hard work from kyrillos are wanting me to keep it up and sell my blackberry 8330 instead :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] chrisxt:
Great!

Indeed India itself does use in.pool.ntp.org however if you use asia.pool.ntp.org it should work for india and for the asian continent.

I'll give it an update though. :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sajjt:
Well said mate, I was about to upgrade my phone to Moto Def+ but after seeing the developments in G3 community i've decided to live with this for some time and by this time the prices of dual core will be available at an affordable price range as quad core will take over the dual core seats hopefully.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Darius_AWS:
It's working perfectly on kyorarom serenity 4.0.4 !

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Chesnut:
I just have to thank you again, you have made my life so much easier! Under one minute locks are the only things I felt lacking in the Galaxy 3. Now, the phone is the best phone in the world!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] chrisxt:
When I just got the phone it was one of the first thing I noticed, the GPS had a slow lock and not accurate and when changing to 2.3 or 4.0 it was just impossible to use GPS.

These changes easily beat the standard GPS settings that came with the phone, the GPS is performing better then expected and just as good as many other 'high end phones' with me also thinking that the hardware played a big part which for most things, it does.

If these changes were not made for the G3 I would've upgraded it a long time ago but just looking at it now, it's really a decent phone. :cowboy:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
I am not able to find any GPSstatus app, there is a Gps status app by Eclipsm.. Is this the one you are talking about

Okay downloaded AGPS data and created secgps.conf file and added the text to it from the first post. Not able to get a fix yet.

Changed the server too in gps.conf
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hadi_xman:
i cant get this point.. please elaborate how to upade A-GPS?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] szewc1:
In my case GPS works a bit better, but still sucks hard nonetheless. First lock (after turning it on) takes 2-3 minutes, and from then on it's pretty solid (keeps signal in some one-storeyed buildings as well). There is no chance of cold locking in the building, even near the window. Each following hot start is instant, as long as GPS is turned on and you stay outside. Sometimes my location 'jumps' from one place to another, sometimes connection drops and BTS positioning kicks in. Overall - check my first sentence. It's about time to change phone.

Thanks for your input chrisxt.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] chrisxt:
That's it, you should be able to get a fix now, if not try to restart the phone check if the files are correctly saved and update the A-GPS again.

When you've done everything downloaded This app, when you opened the app and it's searching for satellites press the left (menu) key and go to tools and go to the A-GPS Status, from there it will ask you to download the A-GPS XTRA Files.

As i expected this really does depend on the location as well, you can try changing the NTP server which can make a huge difference if you haven't done it yet, and update the A-GPS when you start using the GPS.

For me it can get a cold lock very quickly, us galaxy 3 owners know it isn't the best but I actually stopped complaining about the GPS now, as for the phone just the usual, apps like a slow Play Store or other slow apps like Facebook, bad pictures/no recording and playing videos smooth are the things in my mind that should be fixed however i do still prefer 2.3.7 especially now with the GPS working smooth.

For now.. the phone does the job for me. :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
Got a fix for the first time on kyrillos rom (cm7). It took 5-6 mins however. Will try again tomorrow and see if it gets a fix fast the next time. :)

If you want one that looks exactly like the one from S2, you can goto samsung apps and look for task manager, this will give you the same widget as the one that s2 had.

I assume .38 gigs is reserved for the system so it's not showing?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Skunk Ape1:
It removes them from the list. Just because there on the list doesn't mean they are running.

Wether its useful or not i like the idea its not on the app list and just a matter of holding home button.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bohiti:
My understanding is the GPU requires this portion of system memory. Kind of like how some cheap onboard video cards in PC's used to. Which makes it all the better to have 2gb RAM. If not, you'd only have 620mb usable memory!

samsung apps has the old school application monitor widget for download, just have to sign up to sammy to get it via samsung apps.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] BonesHopkins:
Dumb question but how do you sign up for a samsung account? When I first activated my phone I got a notification and started running through the samsung account signup but during the process the app crashed, I didn't finish, and it never notified me again and I couldn't figure out how to create the samsung account from scratch.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] caileb:
I only use it to end Play Music. Sometimes it doesn't stop streaming.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] aznmode:
It closes the app. You can test this by going into task manager and go to the running apps. Now swipe away any of the corresponding app in the recent app(hold home) and then when you go back the task manager the app you just swipe will be gone or will eventually go away. Also your remaining ram will go up.

Hi All

This is my first post so play nice ;)

I've already downloaded the test 0.1.5 app for my HTC One X and for the life of me I can't get it to work. It worked fine on my old XE on ICS but can't get it to work on the OneX.

It will load fine up until I try and watch a video and it just stays at 0% load then just restarts the app. Is there a way around this to either fix it or am I being a complete noob and missed something in the posts. I did look in the other posts but couldn't find anything to help me.

Any help would be great

Ah ok then. My Manager at work told to enter wrong password, turn phone off and on then do right password and it works. But don't know if anyone else has tried it. He is on a Xperia S and got it to work with the test app.

What? IS are as clear as can be...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
looks a bit rubbery like zagg (orange peel effect), can you confirm that?

why is the display white??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Compared to zagg and sgp flex, this has the least orange peel effect that I've encountered. It's a white screen because I took a pic before removing the backing of the skin. :D

Still on stock Nexus and loving it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
ah, that explains :)

one last question: how's the spacing between the screens borders and the skin? judging from the pic i'd guess ~1mm, but it's really hard to see. and how does it cope with the screens rounded top/bottom which apparently is the reason so many skins are like 6-8mm shorter than the display.

asking because with shipping to europe it's not so cheap and I'd rather avoid buying a skin not suited for me. would go for the display only btw, not liking those full body skins anymore. they were nice with "square" phones but the rounded corners requiring tiny patches of skin with borders collecting dirt killed it for me.

hm, before that last photo i was ready to buy one. but that pic looks quite orange peely.

I hated the Zagg skin and used a medium expensive clear but pretty thick plastic one on my Galaxy S. Ideally I'd prefer one of those but can't find one that's a guaranteed fit, most skins don't cover the screens edges :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Never mentioned no orange peel effect. Some yes but not as bad as zagg or flex. It even took me quite awhile to find an angle that would show the peel. On a regular use, it's hard to see. Of course it's all up to you.

It looks like we could loose a good developer to a Samsung phone (plasticly! ick!) in the near future, so I suggest anyone with a real desire to see a clean senseless version of ICS on this beast of a phone consider getting on board with this effort.

I'm not associated with this in any way other than being a user of the Amaze. I also know Sandvold's work from the HTC Desire, and they have some pretty good stuff running on some pretty limited hardware.
