[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daxxone:
On CM10, my GPS is working with Google services off. I get quick accurate lock from just the GPS. When using Google location services, I'm often shown to be blocks away. Maybe it is showing me at the cell tower location. If I get a GPS lock before enabling Google location services, it will jump back and forth from real location to an unsure, inaccurate one. Maybe that info helps you in finding the source of some GPS issues. Also a note for the new jb leak, I can't get Google services off and get a location at all in maps. But that build has issues, deep issues.

Fixed what? GPS was mess for me on the stock rooted. You run one of the themed versions?

ReCaulked GPS fix

I was having gps lock problems only after a day from a fresh boot, and who wants to keep rebooting your phone?

I found this link on editing the gps.conf file

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239713

followed it and now my GPS locks every time, ALL the time.

As we are running a lot of leaks, modified roms this is defiantly something to check and get your ROMS developer to update before releasing.

Still have had no luck with GPS. Flashed a ton of tweaks and everything. Seems the only way to temporarily get GPS back is to do the Gingerbread trick. I'm about to switch from Codenamed Android to CM 10.1. Hopefully GPS will work permanently on that build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Please post back of that works for you and exactly what steps you took. I've been fighting this for over a month and have lost count as to hire many things I've tried.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
I gave up trying to get the GPS working on the E4GT and just got an external TomTom brand bluetooth GPS receiver. Sure, it's not as convenient, but at least it works well for when I'm out delivering pizza, especially in a new area that I don't know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Man that blows.

I'm going to keep futzing around for a little while longer. Just tried a few more tweaks and still not better. I can get locks in the WIDE open but not much anywhere else. When I got my phone I actually had 5 satalites INSIDE my appartment! AND that damn 'searching for gps data' thing keeps coming back at random times and the only recourse is to reboot.

If I can get enough free time next week I think I'll flash a stock released ROM and head over to Sprint store and show/tell them how ****ty it is and see if I can get a new one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
My Dad has had his totally stock, unrooted E4GT replaced by Sprint 3 times, and they've all had GPS issues. I think Sammy just really has issues with their GPS implementation. I've actually had to dump my E4GT and downgrade to an original GSM Galaxy S and even it has GPS issues, not as bad as the E4GT, but still slow to lock, it sometimes keeps going one way for bit when I stop or turn. I don't know why Samsung seems to have such a hard time with this. My Nexus one never had GPS issues, admittedly I didn't use the GPS as much with it, but it always worked, indoors or out, and instant locks, any and every ROM/Kernel/Recovery/radio.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RyanBurnsRed:
I'm on CM 10.1 now. I still didn't get any locks. So I flashed to GB and back and got like 5 or more satellites. Then I found a battery and GPS tweak (forgot from where but I can find it again) that actually made my GPS worse! Now instead of 5, I get only 2 or 3. And that's on a cloudless bright sunny day. My dad doesn't have this issue. He has the same phone but get this, he's on the ROM I was on. He's on Codename Android and gets like 12 satellites.

Here is the tweak that I used that made my GPS worse http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975379
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gazzuk:
I went a year without gps. Thought it was my phone all this time. So far I have found 2 solutions.

Any Samsung/Sprint (FK23/FL16) rom (instantly has my gps working) I vouch for shadow_gods builds.

Or

Exit_Only tweak aioV3 (only for aosp/cm10. 4.1.1 and 4.1.2)

His aiov3 tweak (discontinued) is the only tweak that gets gps working for my phone. I also found his aiov5.1 to permanently fix gps between aosp roms. I had to reformat my sd and I accidently deleted that version. I do still have aiov3.

For those of you that are on aosp 4.1.1 - 4.1.2 just simply wipe cache/dalvik then flash tweak. All credit is due to Exit_Only send him a ty.

http://db.tt/ub2IgdE6 Exit_only AIOv3

His newer tweaks are avail in his thread. Im on FL16 so i havent used any of the newer ones yet. Once I jump to sbrissens 4.2 that may change lol.

I used the above tweak with sbrissen Alpha6 and CM10 nightlies with success. The first lock takes time and you may have to switch between 3g/4g to get it going. Once you get that first lock going forward you'll have instant locks.

Also AngryGPS works wonders (already comes in CM10, but can be used with aiov3 and latest tweaks)

Downloading now.........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
Me likes me some pure untouched AOSP. :)

Other than the GPS fix, does this have any fixes like inverted compass, or for the Gapps that I see floating around like Picassa sync or anything like that? Would you ever consider adding split SMS? Is PicoTTS removed? Every time I use a stock ROM with it included it seems to give me issues with Bluetooth dialing. Any other unneeded apps removed like the standard Google Search since Velvet replaces it?

Sorry for so many questions. Just getting the basics out of the way before I try it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cervantesmx:
Will be flashing as soon as I have WiFi. Thanks for the port!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Thanks. We're hoping this goes well. :)

It's my understanding that the GAPPs app is actually Velvet renamed to the search app so that you don't get the ugly search. As for the Picassa sync, I have that squared away on my Toro ROM and it should be on this one too (assuming it even flashes and boots normally).

I know there are some things I'll still need to address assuming the ROM is functional to bring it in line with the Toro version but I really had no idea if it would even boot yet so we're hoping for the best and expecting the worst. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FrostyF7:
I'll go ahead and start the download I guess. Always willing to help out :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
Sorry I edited my post as you were replying. Does this have the inverted compass fix? Might not be an issue for the Toro but on ours the compass points in the direction of which the screen is facing, so most ROMs here invert it so it faces the direction "you" are looking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Much appreciated

I'm not going to bet on it but it surely will when I see what the fix is. I hadn't even heard of it until now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:

15% what? Downloaded? Flashed? I'm sorry for the 'wasted time' on 3g. If it's any consolation to you, I've spent a lot more time trying to put together a ROM for a phone I don't own.

EDIT: Ok. Sorry to waste everyone's time. I guess we'll just call it a wrap.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Warrior1975:
Just wondering, I do a full wipe when flashing. I flash my ROM and gapps...Phone seems to be reset but it always remembers my WIFI network and it has WIFI networks from literally months ago. Why is that? Is that through Google settings? Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dark Nightmare:
Yup, google stores that kinda data for you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you go to settings > Backup and Reset you will find where to turn this on or off. Default is on.

Google backs up your contacts, logs, settings, app data (your text messages included), accounts and passwords, etc.

Personally I prefer to not have anyone by default (and without asking) backing up my info to their servers, as a favor to me!

Its one of the first things I chsnge with a new rom. I make my own backups and I haven't failed myself yet!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tft:
So there are two email apps in the S3, Gmail and what appears to be the stock Samsung email client.

in order to use Gmail (push) it seems you have to keep "Sync" enabled in the options. the question is, is enabling this consumes battery by constantly polling/syncing, or is this Sync another name for Push (as in server notifies device rather than the device polling)?

I am trying to figure out what is the best way to setup push. using the Samsung email app, it appears to be true push without the need to have "Sync" on the device enabled.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eytan123:
the gmail app is the closest thing to "push" for all non-exchange email clients.

so i'd say if you use gmail and not exchange - use the app :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tft:
both email clients can be configured for push, but gmail requires "sync" option enabled on the phone. the samsung email client doesn't require Sync to be enabled for push email..

i think i will stick with samsung email client.. seems better for push email without having to enable Sync (which might use more battery).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iovaniorgovan:
Guys, if you know what you are saying here, you have the solution I'm looking for since I got the S3.

The samsung galaxy s3 email client has no push option, at least I haven't found it. It used to have it in the S2. So enlight me please, how do you push gmail, yahoo, etc on samsung email?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nnnnn1:
someone posted this on another forum:

I personally use yahoo, and I still haven't found a way to make it work yet. But, gmail, according to what I've read so far, it should work just fine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iovaniorgovan:
I already gave a try to the method above. It works, bute it has a few drawbacks:

1. It uses more data,more battery, more awake time than the push email client on the S2.

2. It works only for gmail, not yahoo. Because yahoo is greedy and wants money for an Exchange feature.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nnnnn1:
you can also give a shot to the yahoo mail client, it`s available on the playstore. not the best, dar face treaba

Hello guys n devs,

I have a Galaxy S phone and thinking of moving to Galaxy Nexus. Would you like to comment and give your opinion on this please?

With respect to Battery life, overall performance, any specific issue you would like to mention about.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Performance on this phone is beastly, especially with jelly bean update. Battery life is under Android average. Some issue that some people are having is signal loss and such, but had none of those problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eternitys:
Well thanks a lot.

Would you like to mention about the screen? Have seen many mentioning about the patches on screen while display. Ideally with such a good resolution and AMOLED I found it weird.

Have you tried MIUI-JB. How about battery use with data / Wifi on?

Do you have any other equivalent recommendations as well? :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Yes, screen is one of the BIG issue with galaxy nexus. Whites are very washed out, but the worst part is, in low brightness level, everything looks so grainy and such. Of course, you can just flash custom kernel that supports screen adjustment and that does help a bit, but still is disappointing in my opinion. You still can get used to it.

Edit: also, I haven't tried it miui and probably won't, since I don't like it. Battery on Wi-Fi is exception in my opinion, but once you use mobile data, it drains the battery. For Rom recommendation, I can't say which is the best Rom, since everyone prefers different roms. What I recommend you to do is try all of them that you are interested in. I personally used many different roms and stayed with AOKP jelly bean, because I love all the features that it brings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yoncy:
Hi man i was in the same situation as you i had a galaxy S and now i moved to nexus. Let me share some ideas.

First it's a great phone. After you play with android stock interface never ever you will turn back to touchwiz bull****t. Even for an S3.

You said you have Miui. I remember also i used that on S best rom in matter of performance. Here on Nexus you will have a lot of pure Android interface roms with a good performance. I'm sure the design it's enough good to not come back to Miui. I tried it on Nexus but don't like it (to big screen for iphonish intreface).

As for other aspects screen: one of the best on the market Hd display, performance now with jelly bean it's ok. It has the same gpu as S so if you are not a gamer it's enough you can play almost all the games. Battery instead will last shorter than on a S you know dual core hd screen but it's decently. Also custom roms are more 'professional' here since it's a dev phone.

So you will have what and where to choose.

Price at 19.99 is a bit steeper than other Ebay cases,

But I like its look, probably will wait to see other sellers posting the same one with more pictures and detailed description.
