[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
True GPS has nothing to do with towers or your network. Your using location services other than just your GPS chip if that's what you're experiencing. Go into settings>location services>uncheck Google's location service

Then try your GPS. The point of GPS is to work when you have no signall at all. It is just not that great in this phone and never will be.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goodintentions:
Which rom are you using now? I really want to go back to ICS, but I also really need to be able to use gps with ease.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
CM9 is really stable and have used GPS several times outside my hospital to test. It usually locks with a 4g connection in about 5 to 10 seconds. Sometimes you need to be patient if you just opened the map app for the first time but it definitely works. It works on a slower connection but takes a while to lock in. Better to start nav on wifi before you leave the house if you are on a slower connection...

Thanks hechoen. Didn't realize that could affect my results but very thoughtful. Will have to try with out that location service. :) It might increase my map loading time. :P

---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 AM ----------

I verified GPS lock without location service enabled and results are:

GPS lock in ten seconds.

I was on edge and received faster load time of the map without location service enabled.

I am running latest CM9.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
As far as I can tell, that is a true statement that no ROM is going to change significantly at this point. There may be some tweaks, but if the GPS chip has problems "seeing" the satellites signal in the first place, it is going to have a hard time locking onto them.

The point about "Location Services" vs. GPS lock is a very good one.

If you want to watch the GPS lock process, GPS Status is a great tool. It can also force an update of the GPS orbital data, or cold-start the process.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
Thanks for the tool tip jeff. The loading time for the map was like 3-4x faster because stupid location services would get to my data before Google had time to load maps. I seriously want to thank hechoen again but the thanks button only works once per post lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
@rbedell Tower signal does not have anything to do with GPS. GPS is a satellite tracking your phone, that's why it takes a while to get a lock, but for some odd reason it's very weak on ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goodintentions:
I just tested again using remICS. On GB, it took about 5 seconds for my gps to lock every time. It's been like 5 minutes on ICS and I'm still waiting for it to lock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
In my last post I wasn't talking about GPS lock time I'm talking about the time it took to load street names around my location. That uses data. Hechoen corrected me...

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

@ goodintentions Try R8. No problems here.

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

And I'm not saying hechoen is wrong by not having signal and navigating with gps, but to use Google maps with no signal you have to save a general area with a function of Google maps. I did it for the San Antonio area where I work, but not Poteet area where I live.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
All the "standard" things still apply to ICS:

Make sure you have fresh GPS orbital data -- requires data connection when you make the request

GPS requires an accurate time source to lock quickly -- requires data connection (NTP, it doesn't trust your carrier for sub-second accuracy)

Try a "cold start" to wipe previous state

Asking for five seconds for lock is pretty aggressive. When I had stand-alone GPS units (no data connection) with the one of the best chipsets on the market (SiRF III), 30-90 seconds was typical for a cold start.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goodintentions:
I've been testing using the same conditions between ICS and GB. I'm not asking for 5 seconds, even though GB on my phone locks on in 5 seconds. What I'm asking for is less than 5 minutes. I don't think that's too much to ask for a gps.

I'm about to leave to go meet a client. I will be testing remICS gps the rest of the day. Will report back tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Who exactly are you asking this of? Samsung? T-Mobile? Or team acid? If it's the first two then Congrats I mean they sold you the phone and dropped support.

If you're asking team acid well they don't HAVE to do anything you ask for...they do it in their spare time and do it to share their work with all of us.

Btw there was already another GPS thread though that OP has consideration and didn't ask for instant(which is impossible for this) gps lock.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1867415

and yes this is my opinion on the thread not trying to cause more flame wars like your other thread just saying unless we contribute it's hard for them to do everything...I for one set up my build environment and i'm trying to help from source with things like wifi calling and wifi strength.

----------------------------------------------

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button ;) it doesn't bite lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goodintentions:
sorry if I have offended people. All I'm asking is if there is an ICS ROM that has faster GPS lock. If that is not, then I am perfectly fine using Gingerbread. Please understand that I am not demanding anything. I am just asking weather that exists and ICS ROM that locks GPS faster. My mistake for asking a question. Too many sensitive 1337s around.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
questions are obviously fine as there is a q&a section..it's the wording...not to mention there was already another gps thread opened...like i mentioned before.

and i'm not offended at all..it's the internet just tired of people opening threads for stuff already being discussed or already answered.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
With all that said - I'm getting a GPS lock on Erikmm's latest ICS MIUI in 5 seconds. I'm in Israel though, but I did change the gps.conf file (NTP server) to suit Israel, so you might just find a better definition for your area. Using Waze navigator by the way and getting 30m accuracy.

It may also be because of AngryGPS in the ROM.

You can also try this.

@OP: its weird but btw...are u living in VN? (Cause u spoke Vietnamese to me)...if so, then I am using my roms w the Yaffs2 GPS fix integrated and I can lock within 15secs (I mean the real GPS icon, not via network), u can find out and flash it (the thread is in i9000 forum and there is link in RemICS I think...)

Bạn chưa trã lời câu hỏi. Tôi đan học tiến việt.

Hope I didn't make spelling mistakes there.

Question for you as long as you're here. My folks are going to VN soon and will be staying there for several months. 2 questions.

(1) Can they just buy a sim card or something over there so they can have a data plan? I'm sending them with a sgs4g each.

(2) I'm also sending them each with an asus transformer infinity so they can still communicate, go online, etc. via tethering from the sgs4g. They'll be touring the country. Will there be any danger of them having those high end devices with them? They'll also be taking with them an extra asus infinity to give to my aunt and uncle there. If they don't want it, how much can they get it for over there?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rraaka:
the general impression is that kernels tame/ saddle the rom but Kingdroid v 7.1/ 7.4 , this is one rom that tames and saddles all kernels ,

choose CF root kernel in aroma for root and then switch to speedmod for battery and safety
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamal Ahmed:
seriously. RocketROM with Notecore. give as much battery time your grandsons will use it :P

btw ive been following rocketrom with notecore since its merging. instead of v12 use the latest version of hydracore 13.1b :D its latest version of notecore yet :D and is heavenly
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
I'm currently using the latest version of KingDroid now (I can't say much on RR as I've read numerous reports of people having problems migrating from RR to CM10, but that's on a different topic already), my kernel is still HardCore's SpeedMod. Though it may lack the performance it delivers on my phone, but I am fairly satisfied on the battery life that it gives out.

Yh, shoe leather costs (searching around) is basically what many of us do. I will tend to look on amazon or at my local hardware electronics store. The XDA marketplace is also a great area to search for spare parts. Once you have banked a year membership.

Mobile phone replacement parts can be found everywhere in market, like real store, online shop, ebay, etc, but i prefer to online shop.

[General Accessories] Pixelado:
I really want to try buying spare parts online. Our delivery system is so bad it's almost impossible for internet purchases to reach the consumers.

So far I've had TERRIBLE experiences when buying parts from physical stores. One of the reasons is (as already mentioned) B2C marketing. They look for the most "bottom-of-the-barrel"/cheapest part they can get, and charge you an eye for it.

Some months ago, my the screen on my Xperia Mini Pro snapped, and had to save for a replacement part. The first one started failing and displaying artifacts after three days of normal usage, though the touch digitizer worked wonderfully. I had to save more money for another replacement screen.

As soon as I got home and installed it, lo and behold! the digitizer is all messed up! Random ghost pressing of the back and menu keys, sometimes it stops working completely and I have to restart the phone for it to work.

So here I am, one assembly with working touch and bad screen, another assembly with perfect screen and terrible digitizer. Wish I could use the best of both but there's no practical way of separating them. Guess it's time to save for a new phone. It's been nearly two years with this old guy.

PD: good thing I have a physical keyboard on this phone.

Just an advice.

It would be easier for you just to make update.zip with only necessary files to convert P920 ROMS to SU760 like we do in SONY XPERIA devices so the user downloads the original P920 ROM from the developers guide and then installs your update.zip and it works.

[Captivate General] Frankle-master:
Hi, my Captivate internal memory is broken and there's probably no solution to repair it. I dealt with it. I partitioned a Class 10 32 GB micro SD card with a 4 GB ext4 partition and a Swap partition and then installed CM9.1. I didn't need to configure anything (except I had to flash a EMMC reverse script) and there were 4 GB of available "internal storage" free space in Settings/Storage. However I wanted to upgrade to CM10 (which only worked with Semaphore kernel), but there is now only 422 MB of available space. CM10 doesn't use sd-ext partitions anymore? Is there any script to move apps to ext4 partition in Jelly Bean?
