Nope, that's for P1. Galaxy S uses the 3.5mm for TV out.

Yeah I know about the rca cables but given that the tab and sgs phones are the same basic hardware they could in principle do the same things (MHL HDMI in this case), no?

[Vibrant Android Development] Stevethegreat:
...I guess it would be great if someone is to try either through mhl or even Tab's dock (if possible).
[Vibrant Android Development] mohamobo:
For me, yes it still crash. 1st start gps test after DS icon appears but no bird. Close gps test then start again gps test icon no longer appears at status bar.

This is on kernel 6 and DS take more then 4~5min to enter DS.
[Vibrant Android Development] Panamon:
I was always one of those lucky ones that had GPS work fine (after doing the hardware fix) from Froyo on while everyone else suffered.

Even CM9 worked pretty well. Unfortunately for some time now I've not only had GPS problems, but now even baseband goes away on me regularly for no apparent reason.

I'm hoping that all the constant flashing is to blame so time to Odin back to stock and work my way back up to JB.

Be back in a while.

FE, thanks for continuing to hammer away at this GPS thing for us. I don't even care that much about getting 4.2. I think if we can get a working GPS on JB this phone will be viable for perhaps another 2 years.
[Vibrant Android Development] stealthj:
How do I enable the 850 band in cm10? In the debug menu it says restricted... I can see that it's only running on 1900... Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] Panamon:
Possible workaround for a more at-the-ready GPS.

I Odined back to stock and flashed my way back to 11-17.

As has been reported over and over - after rebooting, if the phone deep-sleeps without first having it start GPS, you will likely have to reboot to get GPS working.

With a pre-DS lock it seems to go on functioning properly even after subsequent deep sleeps.

Here is my roundabout solution that seems to be working well so far:

I installed Startup Manager

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.startupmanager&feature=search_result

I have it auto-start GPS Test on every boot.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&feature=search_result

Now when I log into my phone, GPS Test is up and running and is the first thing I see.

I simply force-close it with the back key and swipe away the Startup Manager notification from the status bar.

This assures that GPS will be started on every reboot and will hopefully be ready to go any time I need it.

So far this has worked exactly and as automatically as I'd hoped.

The phone boots up and quickly deep-sleeps even though the app has auto-started.

Because it does deep-sleep on boot, there is little to no battery waste if you simply reboot and don't log in to your phone right away.

I tested it overnight without touching it until morning and it only lost 5% and GPS came right up.

I let the phone go back to sleep and I got good/fast locks every time it woke up.

Surely there could be a more elegant workaround, but I lack the Linux skills to implement a more transparent solution.

If someone could think on this, perhaps using "autostart.sh" may be a better way coupled with an app like the ones below?

Autostart (Root)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nk.bla.android.autostart&feature=search_result

or

ScriptRunner

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xsylus.android.scriptrunner&feature=search_result
[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
Is a lock required or just start and then stop gps?
[Vibrant Android Development] Panamon:
I will experiment by shutting down GPS Test as soon as the GPS icon shows on a few reboots and report back.
[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
Try this for GPS DS
[Vibrant Android Development] Panamon:
Looks like maybe all it takes is for the GPS icon to appear for just a couple of seconds doesn't seem like an actual lock is required for the phone to survive DS.

I killed GPS Test with the back key on average within 2 seconds of getting the icon and then let the phone go to sleep.

I verified DS with CPU Spy and 10 out of 10 times I was able to restart GPS Test and get locks.

Does Test Kernel-7 have a version of this solution baked in?
[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
7 has a init.aries.gps.rc change, no baked in hack.
[Vibrant Android Development] Panamon:
Ok. I'll stick with stock 11-17 kernel and do a quick on without lock test tonight to see if I can still lock sats in the morning after a whole night of DS.

Assuming it works in the morning I'll then use GPS all day to see if it crashes with actual use.

I'll then report back.
[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
You mean test kernel 7?
[Vibrant Android Development] muleyman:
Tried test 7. Same result as others. No GPS if I let phone deep sleep first.
[Vibrant Android Development] Panamon:
I mean I will continue to use 11-17 nightly as I installed it through tomorrow including the kernel it came with.

(I got no icon at all in any GPS apps.)

I'll try letting GPS Test get an actual lock at boot up and try again.

[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
When you first tried after deep sleep did it show an icon at first?
[Vibrant Android Development] muleyman:
If I open GPS Test the icon will appear but if the focus is taken away from the app or if I decide after 5 minutes to close it then the icon will not return.
[Vibrant Android Development] Panamon:
No icon this morning.

Could not test during the day like I hoped. Will try again tonight and tomorrow.

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

I'm using 11-17 daily with stock kernel.

If I fire up GPS Test before DS after boot I get sats on GPS Test every time except this morning after phone slept all night.

Try force closing GPS Test with the back key.
[Vibrant Android Development] davidgs:
I just tested my GPS

after a full night of DS

and got a lock in 45 sec. and

inside my house

! On past nightlys I was able to get a lock inside my house before DS but never after DS until this nightly. I'm using all stock, 11-19 nightly and KB5 modem...

Also, I didn't have to get a lock right away after booting to get locks after DS, I just opened GPS test and once I saw the icon blinking I exit the app.
[Vibrant Android Development] Richcar:
On the 11-19 nightly all stock and GPS lock in seconds before and after DS I have no hardware fix and was never able to get a lock on jb before. thanks FE great job
[Vibrant Android Development] Panamon:
Great news.

GPS worked after sleeping all night.

At first I got no icon but I let it sit on GPS Test a little longer this time and the icon suddenly appeared locking sats very quickly thereafter.

The phone has been up for 16 hours.

(Was still on 11-17 stock. Tests performed after GPS Test quick-on at boot.)

I will now move on to 11-19.

Before or after deepsleep?

I'm guessing that it before deepsleep because you said view 12 bird instantly.

It's too complicated for me.As an alternative, I've made a theme to solve this issue automatically. Thanks for your timely reply.
[Vibrant Android Development] Orochi77:
Lucky you. Mine sees about 12 satellites but doesn't lock to any of them. I was on 11/19, will try 11/20 now.
[Vibrant Android Development] josh2020glacier:
I don't know what's wrong but I'm on build 1119 and GPS works perfect for me always locks on.
[Vibrant Android Development] hendykhanh:
Have you mod or edit gps ?
[Vibrant Android Development] josh2020glacier:
Nope all I did is went in settings/location/and pressed GPS source all is good and made sure network location was also on
[Vibrant Android Development] Moronig:
Try installing FasterGPS from the market (the one with the yellow antenna) and set a more specific NTP server.
[Vibrant Android Development] Orochi77:
But then you don't have a true GPS, you still rely on your data. Turn off network location and try to get a lock with just GPS on.

Did that just for kicks. It didn't work. The phone already finds 12 satellites it just cannot lock onto them.

The only time my GPS ever worked was on Froyo. So I know hardware wise the GPS works.
[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
1) Do you ever lock if you just leave it?

2) PM me a logcat.

3) The reason why we're getting magical lock times on CM10 like 15-30 seconds, is because we're using A-GPS, which means it uses a mobile network connection.
[Vibrant Android Development] josh2020glacier:
OO

When you use a app like google maps you need network not just to help it lock but to load the maps it self. Most apps dont have the worlds roads everywhere saved in the@ if that was the case we wouldnt have enough memory for that lol. So unless you paid for an app like tomtom that makes you download the maps for your area then yes you need network.

I understand what you saying but im just happy its working in general for me. If i need gps without network that bad then ill just go buy a gps lol. Thanks you very much dev for your hard work as you can see im happy with this rom thankyou

O yeah by the way tries GPS without network location and still locks for me no problem. Hmmmm.

By the way I'm on build 1119 came from clean install build 1117 nightly
[Vibrant Android Development] Orochi77:
1. Never locks. I usually leave it for 20+ min to make sure that I didn't miss anything. Tried using both standalone and msbased modes.

2. I will shortly.

There are apps like copilot and many others that store maps on your device to be used offline. Later when you return to your mobile area you can update maps. Data assisted GPS is only useful when you are in your provider's area. It is also highly inaccurate.

Could you disable GPS and network location. Download GPS test from market.

Reboot your device and enable only GPS and disagree to enable network location. then go to GPS test and see how many satellites your devices lock onto.

PS:

FE Is there limit to how many text messages one can send to the same recipient in a row?

I am asking because yesterday I kept being disconnected from my network provider after sending 4+ messages in a row to the same person. (We had a heated debate :). This happened each time I would send 4+ messages in a row. I was just wondering if it is my provider's issue or some limit placed by Cm10 rom.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
You might be mistaking "data assisted GPS" with "network location" when you said it's highly inaccurate.

Re SMS limit: probably not CM10.

Thank you but no luck.

So far this is what I found from my tests. I am now on 11/21 nightly.

If device goes to DS after reboot then my phone cannot even see any satellites in GSP test program.

If the device doesn't go to DS after reboot then my phone can find up to 12 satellites but cannot connect to any of the.

The results are the same for both the stock kernel and semaphore kernel on nightlies from 11/19 to and including 11/21. Of course I only test pure GPS not enabling network locations option.

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

In Setting/Security there is an option called SMS message limit.

One can set how many messages can be sent out in a span of 15min. If the amount of messages exceeds the set limit then an alert windows will be displayed.

I remember receiving this alert. My question though is this just an alert to remind you that you are sending a lot of outgoing messages or does this feature actually disconnect you from your network provider. I was kicked several times.
[Vibrant Android Development] ioancr:
Well. Odd enough, I have quite good results with GPS on last nightly (1121). Of course, pure GPS. Tried one time after 2 h of DS and locked in 103 secs outside. After reboot it locks in about 120 secs (inside near window). All stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] zhuzf:
Same here.
[Vibrant Android Development] flatmo:
No luck. I endep up installing UCAM.

Is there anyway possible of you get some spare time if you could make a flashable zip with the latest CM kernel that fixes GPS so it can be used in other roms?
[Vibrant Android Development] FaultException:
The fast fix? That's not the kernel its a configuration file. There is also either having the gpsd wrapper or aslr disabled in the kernel to fix gps after ds as long as you got a lock before. Then there's the original gps libraries to make sure 911 works intermittently.

By gpsd wrapper you mean the one made by MrPshyco? I know how to do the configuration file with Angry GPS
