I can confirm that, for me at least, this GPS fix is flawless! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] impulse101:
Check your wake locks later to see if you get a gps_lock wake lock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Thanks for posting your results everyone.

There shouldn't be any. It is using the stock Verizon GPS.conf. I haven't had problems with GPS wakelocks anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sword.Zero:
GPS fix works great for me. Locks on immediately now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jokeefe10:
Can anyone confirm navigation is working after flashing this? I get GPS lock but my issue is when trying to use navigation I get "searching for GPS".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redflea:
Just checked, turned off wifi so it couldn't cheat...started Maps and got a fix in about 5s, started Nav to an address and Nav started right into voice directions.

Maybe a temporary glitch for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jokeefe10:
Thanks for the reply. Maybe I'll try reflashing the ROM and this fix over it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SomeGuyDude:
That means you didn't get a GPS lock. You got a location. The two are separate entities. Maps is capable of finding your location even with GPS turned off entirely.

I think there's been a big misunderstanding when it comes to people saying they have a "GPS lock" on JB ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YankInDaSouth:
mwalt2, dude! Thanks for these fixes man!! Everything working great on Vicious' v1 build with the help me of your fixes ... thanks again!

You plan on releasing a stock build once source is released?

~~~ Feeding my JELLY BEAN addiction ~~~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kimboinatl:
The GPS fix worked for me! No more wake lock on boot up!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hellbringer626:
With the new fix GPS locks fairly fast for me when I have a clear view of the sky.

Still not anywhere near as fast as ICS, Hopefully an AOSP release addresses that.

Definitely worth a try if you are having trouble with GPS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldi3rxx:
What ROM/kernel? Try stock with the gps fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryan5943:
Navigation worked perfectly for me today. Opened maps and went to navigation had an instant lock and not an issue using it for about an hour.

This fix is great
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jokeefe10:
Vicious v3/faux kernel. should i flash the stock kernel and then the fix again?

Tried flashing stock and the fix, still no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] objectivedays:
The new GPS fix seems to have done the trick. Working great! Thanks so much for continuing to work this problem out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hellbringer626:
Seems I spoke too soon. It initially locked quickly but after a few hours it's not fixing anymore. Any thoughts? I hadn't changed anything since flashing the newest fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hinee:
I have the stock JB build and flashed the wifi fix but still seem to be getting poor signal. Is there any way I can check to see whether the changes indeed have taken effect?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
This is the Verizon CDMA forum. You don't need a 'fix' because the jelly bean developer preview is for gsm devices (CDMA devices do need it). You should restore your stock rom files to fix your problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hinee:
Well that should serve me right for trying to reflash firmware on a saturday night after some brews.

Upon the first instance of my install I could barely even connect to wifi, and when I did it was pretty flakey. But I indeed do have a GSM handset, I'll see myself out. As you were gentlemen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Yeah, that wifi performance was what it was like for us using the gsm versions on our phones :). It's easy to fix though by just restoring your rom's stock version of the files inside of the .zip you flashed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zdeer1:
GPS locks almost instantly for me, and is accurate! Thanks so much!

Has anyone noticed that as soon as you go over the character limit for an SMS it goes straight to a MMS instead of doing multiple pages?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ScottGood:
OP link fails to download, can I get the zip posted with a new link?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hinee:
Is it odd that this fix seems to have helped my problem then? Because while my wifi performance is still poor, before applying this I was getting authentication problems and just generally not even connecting. Could all be placebo though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redflea:
Tested this GPS fix additionally while out and about today - flawless. Connected quickly, navigated accurately, zero issues. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neederishelp:
new fix works great for me,no more gps-lock wake lock for me anymore:-D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] christophermx4:
The new GPS fix worked great - I was able to navigate around Chicago without incident.

mwalt2, thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alexithymia2010:
Yes and it is annoying. I'm thinking (and I could be wrong) the SMS app is designed for GSM and not CDMA, where CDMA supports up to 7 SMS's in one text. I had to go back to ICS so that I wouldn't use up my friend's MMS (she doesn't have unlimited =\). Split messaging would be nice but I don't see it in the JB roms. I'll just wait for the official JB rom to come out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xkaosu9x:
I was able to decompile the apk and check the config. I believe the issue is that when the OP changed the mms_config.xml he loaded an i515 config that I also came across. I believe the issue is that there's a setting called "enableMultipartSMS" and it's set to false. However, since I'm a complete freakin noob at this, I can't get it to recompile so I can test it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] garyx24:
Do any of the pixel density apps work once you upgrade to ICS? I read somewhere on the forum that this guy wasn't able to change his pixel density & had to stick with the stock one which is soooo big.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
Are you talking about like using ROM toolbox to change your dpi from stock 240 and make it lower like 200???

ROM toolbox will change your dpi if your rooted and tons of other stuff like app backup and font changer ect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] garyx24:
yea something like that, I use lcd resolution to change the density on my rooted gingerbread 2.3.5 but I heard someone said pixel density apps don't work with ICS when it's rooted even. Idk if it's true or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
ROM toolbox works i have mine at 200 now and stock is 240 but ive never tried any other app cause ROM toolbox is like a 10 in 1 app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 19fonzy:
Yeah, i also use rom toolbox just make sure to follow the steps in order to get a working play store if not you won't be able to download 90% of the apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0Tolerance:
Yea lcd resolution and lcd density modder apps werent working for me on ics, they either gave me a black screen or just wouldn't boot. Rom toolbox is good to go or just by changing the dpi in the build prop too which I think is the best and cleanest way to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] garyx24:
k thanks

[Motorola Triumph] yasirfaheem:
I get very bad signal at my home. Even when i go outside in to the backyard of the home it is not any better. I know the prl has to do with what cell towers it will connect to. If i change the prl on my cell phone will virgin mobile cut my service? Reading a lot of places that maybe the only way to fix the signal problem. But virgin mobile does not allow roaming i am also reading. So what will happen if i change the prl on my cell phone to one from sprint and pick up more towers then i am suppose to?

Thanks,
[Motorola Triumph] yasirfaheem:
Will something like this work for me to fix the signal problems i have - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-AIR...gnal-Booster-airwave-/360463338188#vi-content
[Motorola Triumph] skearton:
I've heard and read that airrave wont work for our phones. I am interested in this topic also. Signal is weak in my home.
[Motorola Triumph] Rola Addict:
To help answer your questions

To answer your questions......Changing the PRL will not cause virgin mobile to cut your service BUT if you return the phone to them with a PRL change they could void your warrenty.Changing the PRL could help with signal but it's not 100%.I have tried multiple PRL's and have gotten either no boost,little boost,or in one case worse signal.You may have to try ALOT of PRL's to get one that works best for you in your area.

To do the PRL change for the first time you need to be on the stock ROM to find out your phone's MSL.Doing this for the first time can take a long time if all the drivers for your phone haven't been loaded to your computer.Here's a list of stuff you need to do this.....Any cut app from google play,alogcat app from google play,and QPST 2.7 build 3.66 downloaded to your computer.

There should be a step by step guide on here for this.If you can't find it message me for help on this.Also please thank this post if it helps.
[Motorola Triumph] yasirfaheem:
If do not change the prl i am set to pickup all the sprint cell towers?

If i change prl i will gain roaming so like i could use verizon's cell towers?

I found this site - http://forums.androidcentral.com/vi...l-swap-v-vm-latest-prl-sprint-towers.html#anb and i found this site - http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1725703-HOW-TO-Motorola-Triumph-PRL-Swap Are this two site the right way to switch the prl?

I also read Roaming does not work on Virgin Mobile! While roaming, you will not receive your phone calls or texts, and you can't make calls or send texts! Your data will also not work when roaming. If this true?

Where can i get the latest prl file? I see the ones on the two sites i found are from late 2011. Thought there might be a newer one out.
[Motorola Triumph] daseinredux:
Changling PRLs will not allow you to use Verizon towers. Changing PRLs will only be of benefit if it provides an update of tower locations and allow you higher priority. VM users might get lower priority than Sprint users.

If you are using an old PRL, you may not have access to some recent tower installations.

VM users can only use Sprint networks. We do not have roaming privileges. Consequently, you cannot roam ... outside of Sprint networks. There are so-called hybrid PRLs, but i have never heard of anyone making one of those work. Other networks have their protocols in place and changing to a hybrid PRL is not likely to give you roaming privileges. It might provide you with the tower locations for Verizon, but that does not mean that you will be able to access them.

On the outside chance that you could, you would likely be breaking the law and certainly VM will cancel your account and/or bill you if caught.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky12345678900:
Galaxy Nexus has just got unofficial build of Jelly Bean...maybe it is time to abort ICS and try to compile some Jelly Beans roms for xoom? It looks like jelly bean is much smoother than ics...so please make some JB roms.... I think EOS roms are perfect and it would be great to have a 4.1 EOS rom...sorry for my bad english...i'm still learning.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkelly517:
Source code for Jelly Bean hasn't been released. It's expected in mid July.

Expect a rom for your device anywhere from a couple days to a couple months after this date, depending on vacation plans of the devs and the complexity of the merges.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lude219:
Do you have a link to the DXLEA radio and does it require root to flash?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
No I don't. As far as I know, it was part of the Omega 6.0 ROM that I flashed a while ago.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kenwchan:
I was using the Klipsch S4A's (the Android version of S4i's) just fine with my S3 but realized when I switched to Shure 315s (I bought the phone adapter cable by Shure), the mic would not work, and also the phone call would still go to my phone, even with the ear set plugged in. I have quite a few ear sets lying around, so here's a results round up:

OK:

Tjays Four

Klipsch S4A

NOT OK:

Ajays Four

Shure 315 (well, the adapter cable anyways)

Kplisch S4i

ALL of these headsets worked with my S2.

Does my phone have a problem?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Circledog:
I just realized my Klipsch S5i don't work with this phone, I'm bummed. So the S4a works properly, mic and everything?

Ugh, same here. My UE 600vi's worked great on my Galaxy Nexus, but now my mic doesn't work on the GS3. However, the center button still works.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eiraku:
I can confirm most i-Phone centric mic'd headphones (especially the ones with 3 buttons) aren't working. Myself I have a TDK EB950 that exhibits the same characteristics - works for music (the middle button only), fails at calls.

Now using a Belkin Universal mic adapter (single button) with it. Works swell no issues.

I suspect the impedence difference is messing with the part that reads the button signals.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] judeclass:
my 600vi is a little bit different

my UE600vi works fine with galaxyS2 but not with S3.

funny thing is both earphone & mic works fine when I'm call someone.

but when i RECEIVE a call (when 600vi plugged in) , suddenly my GS3 works as if there's no earphone. (sounds and mic works from the phone, not my 600vi)

i really can't understand why,, i'm using Korean galaxyS3 though. Asked samsung about this, but the reply was "go ask logitech!!!" lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pablomoca:
Since the S4A earphones work, I would assume that the S4A (II)'s will work. If anyone has purchased this new revised set, I'd like to know if this is the case, I might be purchasing some soon.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AciDeX:
I have a pair of Audiofly AF45M's that work great. However they do not have a three button remote in-line, only one button for answering calls/pausing/skipping tracks. The mic seems to work well, none of my calls have complained and the few friends I asked said my voice was clear even in noisy environments. I must say that they are the best in ear headphones that I've owned (well should say that they're the nicest pair that I've bought compared to freebies). I know this isn't a thread for IEM reviews but I only mention it because from what I read on head-fi they are a brand new company out of Australia and are making some great products.

I had a pair of Ultimate Ears 350vm's from Costco but I didn't even make any calls with them because I didn't like the sound quality compared to my Audiofly's. So I returned them, the volume slider and the push button seemed to work, but cannot comment on the microphone functionality.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Deleted member 3358925:
Right now I'm using a pair of Brainwavz M5 (also have the M4) with mic and one button and they work perfectly fine. Also tried the Shure 215 with mic cable (again the one button version, not the iPhone one) a few weeks ago and those also worked without any problems.

There seems to be a hardware thing in the S3 which cause "Made For iPhone" headsets (most notably those with volume buttons) to not function properly...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] adlervft:
True!

I've just tested with my Klipsch Image One and S4i. When I call someone, everything works just fine, mic and end call by the center button.

So it must be a Software issue.

Thanks,

Adler
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Yaotl:
I have the Shure E215 with the phone cable (single button), and it's worked fine, both with stock and CM10. The triple button cable is wired differently.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] adlervft:
You're right. I also have a Beats Studio with single button and it also works fine. But since my headphones with triple buttons also work when I initiate a call it must be a software problem.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AfroRicanLibra:
Hey curious, can you say which belkin universal mic adapter you're using? My powerbeats mic doesn't work and I'm desperate to find an adapter that will restore that functionality to them on my s3. Thx!

More Headset tests

First off, Thank You all, for all the helpful info! I have a set of (awesome) Skullcandy Heavy Medals, and a set of Skullcandy 50/50's, and also a set of some type of Logitech earbuds, all have 3 button mic's, None work as mic's on My Galaxy S3, They all work as headphones, but if trying to answer a call, they need to be unplugged, and plugged back in, to hear a voice, but still no mic, and they all worked on My Galaxy S2, and another S2 HD Lte, (All on Bell mobility Canada), and also worked well on My Nexus 4. The Oem samsung headset works great, including mic and volume up/down, and answer button. Also I have a set of Skullcandy Ink'd, with a single button on mic, and they work fine on S3 as well. My S3 is an Unlocked SGH-i747M originally a Rogers wireless Canada phone.

Thanks again, and I hope this helps someone! :cyclops:

Hello, I was reading some of the root methods posted in the dev thread. I was wondering if any of those methods (being AT&T) will work on the Bell SGS III ?

I being a I727R user, found a one-click-method, that allowed me to root that phone when I did it. It was one batch file, which installed root and SU which was really nice.

I have not played around with ODIN too much and did not want to harm it. I know the SGS3 just released so things do take time. I was wondering if there will be a one click method to rooting the device, and in turn installing CWM.

Any suggestions would be great. Thank you :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] noahattic:
From what I've been heard and seen these days, I am 99% sure that all the Rogers/Bell/Telus/AT&T are the same model, which is I747M. So I assume that the rooting method is interchangeable.

I know the rooting method works on Rogers' one for sure.. I am going to do it tonight probably and report back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
Much appreciated, please let me know how it goes, as I have 2 (BELL) I747's here to root and install recovery. I would be interested in what method is used to get these going.
