I tried to re-install the BlackLineAndroidHD.zip and now the GPS is working but it has not improved. It is just like it was before :( It takes like 5 minutes to get the signal.... and I have also tried all the apps on the android market to improve the reception of the signal... NO LUCK =(

---------- Post added at 02:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 AM ----------

Fortunately, I found and followed this guide and now it seems really fast in getting the signal. You should try this out: goo.gl/OeQNg

The guide is in Italian but you can use Chrome or google translate to translate the page!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ISF:
So, did it work for you? I hope it did. It actually works pretty good for me. It stays on 5 to 10m accuracy. 10m most of the time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] N3tMast3r:
The guide on this forum did NOT work. But the guide (in Italian language) I posted on my previous post worked! ;)

now I get the signal in less than 30 seconds! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ISF:
What firmware are you using on your Galaxy S?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] N3tMast3r:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ISF:
That italian guide is about how to edit the gps.conf depending on your country. It is irrelevant, sometimes inaccurate. Try this one out http://sourceforge.net/projects/hdtechvideo/files/GPS Fix/Europe/gps.conf/download . It was made by Rjlm. :D Good Luck!

For those having issue for ICS version, I believe it is something to do with the error in NTP server URL.

It suppose to be <region>.pool.ntp.org. But seems like it is mistakenly put as <region>.pool.org.

Btw, I have tried your ICS version with the correct gps.conf. Seems like it is more responsive on getting and locking the satellites ! :good:

Seems like the second file did the trick for me on SlimICS. I only tested with GPS Test, so we'll see when using navigation if it can hold the lock.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] adytum:
I can't say this enough:

There is a sort of an unusual fix for gps, which simply requires you to put a small amount of pressure on a certain part of the phone, beneath the back cover.

http://androidum.blogspot.com/2011/04/best-gps-fix-for-samsung-gt-i9000.html

This has worked unbelievably well for me, definitely doubled my sat lock amount, and halving the time to lock. I can get a nice gps fix inside my apartment, it's ridiculous.

Since this is a hardware fix, it works in conjunction with software fixes like this thread. Seriously, try it!

Mate, I have applied that fix since I bought my device. Yes it doubles the signal strenght of satellites, and gives you better accuracy. I didn't tell about that in my post, because these with newer Galaxy S, > January 2011 already got this implementation from Samsung.

Good

Hi,

Now tried with the ICS the locking speed looks the same as GB but the accuracy is a bit off like 20+ meters constantly.

But what ever, its the best fix ever used; be it GB or ICS with respect to the locking speed.

** First time locking speed took close to a minute

** Then after its constantly <=5 Secs

** Accuracy 20+= meters I will try while I am driving back home and update you all

PS : The ICS fix (1).zip doesn't install and it just aborted, for me both (2) & (3) worked but I have settled with the (2)nd fix.

Thanks for your great effort and time :cowboy:

still not working

After flashing the first file it work for a while . But next day when i tested it (while driving), i faced the same problem always searching for gps connect some time but most of the time it keep on searching for gps.

Flash second file till now it is not working . Any solution?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] felagund:
I did not find a difference with/without pressure on the antennae nor with/without the flashable GPS fix when I tested it while I was walking outside my office building in the lunch break today. I got stable 6-8 sats connected all the time. (though occasionally the phone would lose signal for 3-4 seconds every 1-2 minutes or so and get a nice signal right afterwards.

I'll try both fixes applied while driving tonight as usually the GPS signal is pretty week when the phone is on a Vent holder on the dashboard instead of rubber vacuum holder on the windshield. I keep it on the dashboard vent holder as the air conditioning keeps it cold and I don't need Reality Viewer, etc.

I'm using ICS333 2.0 with Semaphore 1.2.5s.

no need to solder anything if you prefer.

you can simply place the unused antenna (check pics in thread) on top of the conductive rubber.

Didn't read the post before yours?

The antenna (rubber coated) inside sgs need good contact to find satellites. Easiest fix is folded aluminum foil on top of antenna.

Can I (should I) run repair with SUS or PCC without losing root on ICS (XMP)?

No, it would erase all user data, including the root . If you have a nandroid backup, try to restore it from cwm. Can you give me more information about your problem?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bigdfmartin:
No problem so far. I upgraded and rooted a couple of days ago and it's run flawlessly since. On some of these posts about manual updates, I've seen recommendations that you run SUS or PCC repair afterwards for a clean install, but when I tried that with PCC, I lost root and had to start over again.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] unbesorgt:
This is a warning to anyone who ordered the 2760 mAh Bionic extended battery from Verizon on the half-price sale (which is supposedly still ongoing) -- remember to check your statement! I ordered one on June 6, it rang up as half-price in my cart, and I have the invoice they emailed me to prove it. The total was $28.99 after tax, with free 2-day shipping. The battery arrived and I tested it for a few days, and I liked it so much that I ordered another one for my wife's Bionic on June 17. Same price, same deal, same invoice. I charged both orders to the same credit card.

Then today I got my credit card statement. It includes two charges for $53.99 from Verizon -- they charged me full price for both orders! It took over an hour on the phone with Verizon, and multiple holds, before they finally agreed to compensate me. But even then, they refused to credit it back to the card I used to make the purchases. So now I have to wait until the next Verizon bill comes due, which will supposedly include two $25 credits. They declined to give me a confirmation number or any identifying information, so if Verizon's billing system (which has failed twice so far) fails to produce the credits, I'm back to square one.

Bottom line, the extended battery is great, but Verizon's billing system sucks! I figure if they did this to me twice, on separate orders placed 11 days apart, there's a very good chance they are doing this to others as well. Be careful, and don't forget to check your statement!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] foxxx5oh:
well, where to start...i bought my MT3G 1.2 brand new because my original decided to have antenna issues (only cell antenna and only inside a building). so fast forward about a year, after rooting my NEW MT3G, I end up letting a friend use it til he can get a replacement for his. I get the phone back (after his dog bit through the screen) and another MT3G that is broke to use as a donor for the screen. swap screens, salvage other parts to fix my original, and boot up the 1.2.

now here is where it gets...interesting...to say the least. unlike before, where it booted to the MyTouch 3g splash screen, it now thinks it is an HTC Magic...i have been looking and unsuccessfully flashing builds TRYING to get it to what it was so i can upgrade the radio and actually know what i have again.

what would cause the phone to think it is a Magic? was it something in clockworkmod? can it be reversed? and why, for the love of god, can i not flash anything but EZGingerbread to it?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
Sounds like fun! :p

If you haven't done yet: Download Android-SDK and install it (while installing choose Android SDK Tools, Android Platfrom-tools and Google USB Driver).

Connect your phone to usb and start it to bootloader (fastboot usb, back+power). Open a commandline on your computer and go to "...\android-sdk\platform-tools" depending on where you installed it. Then type

fastboot getvar cid

and

fastboot getvar version-main

and post the output here. :)

And please leave your hair where it belongs to! :laugh:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] foxxx5oh:
well....that wasnt too bad, i just get <waiting for device> and it hangs :(

even using CID Getter on the phone itself doesnt give me a CID like it does on my Glacier...i think something may be seriously messed up here >_<
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
Don't know why it may hang. Does the phone work properly? Maybe just the splash-screen was changed.

Have a look at this thread - there are all official roms for magic and so on. Having a look at your radio the stock-rom on your phone for now may be #56 or #57 (hboot 1.33.0013, radio 2.22.23.02). Only the OTA-update has newer versions.

I don't know if it's worth risking to brick the phone just for this update - only if it works properly at the moment.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] foxxx5oh:
It works properly as far as calls and texts and data, but I haven't been able to update the radio or hboot at all, it keeps giving a device id mismatch error
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
What you can do:

- if you don't have a custom-recovery on your phone install one - try this guide without the optional stuff

- when done install the stock-rom for your phone (via custom-recovery) from official-rom-thread - i don't know if #56 or #57

- root and install custom-recovery again as shown above*

- then you may apply the OTA-update via custom-recovery (#58 from the official-rom-thread)

*I don't know if it's possible just to flash everything except recovery, then you wouldn't need to root it and install custom-recovery again.

That would be the newest versions for your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] foxxx5oh:
I have ClockworkMod recovery already installed, and with this being my backup phone, I wouldn't be mad without root at all, though root is nice, I want it to be right lol

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
So you can flash your phone to official stock-rom and then update it to newest official-rom as i explained above. Or what should i tell you right now? :p

And what happens when you try to flash "57) 2.10.531.4 T-Mobile USA DRD35" via custom-recovery (your recovery will be flashed too)?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] foxxx5oh:
That is a self installing executable file, when i try to run it, it tells me that it can not communicate with the device, and to make sure that the usb cable is connected and the phone is on, which it is both
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] foxxx5oh:
so the 57) 2.10.531.4 T-Mobile USA DRD35 flash went finally, turns out, my phone didn't like it too much, because now, i am stuck at the HTC magic splash screen and i think it is bricked :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
I don't get it, that should have been the correct files for your phone. You're sure that it's a Mytouch 3g 1.2 and not the normal Mytouch 3g?

How did you flash the file?

If you search here you can find "tutorials" how to get the rom-files out of the RUU to flash it in hboot-mode.

Can you get into recovery-mode? What about hboot-mode?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] foxxx5oh:
It was a .exe file, so it ran from my computer, and I know it's a 1.2 because I couldn't afford the fender edition lol. Now it just hangs on the splash screen and won't let me do anything at all
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
I think it would have been better to extract the rom-file and flash it with hboot from sd-card... Then you should have been sure about what he flashed.

Maybe now you got some weird radio-system-whatever-mix and that's why it doesn't start.

Normaly you flashed the correct rom-file for your phone.

What you can try:

- remove battery for some time (5 minutes or whatever) and press power - then get the battery back in and try to start it again

- start the phone with Home+Back+Power or Menu+Back+Power (don't remember), in my case there was a menu to erase cache and so on, maybe this would work for you

- is your phone listed in "fastboot devices" when you power on your phone with Vol down+Power, Back+Power, Power, Home+Power or the combination from above? I read that some people are already in fastboot-mode and have text on their display when they see the logo, shown for example here (they had red text on red vodafone-logo):

http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...oter-vodafone-bildschirm-geloest-dsc00624.jpg

If not...

Does bluelight-mode work (i think it's trackball+power)? If so you can get it running with JTAG - you just need somebody who has the equipment and so on. Where are you from?
