He probably already works for Samsung. If he didn't and he had a perfectly working GPS in is SGS, why would he waste his time telling everyong that the GPS implementation is fine on the SGS?

Letting everyone know that his GPS is fine is one thing, but telling people their GPS doesn't have an issue either is another.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] foxbat121:
Your phone seems to be one of those top performers.

The problem with GPS chip inside SGS is very simple: the GPS atenna Samsung designed is not up to task. It gives BroadCOM 4751 GPS chip inadequate signal. In order to compensate for that, the chip needs to boost the amp power. That in turn picks up a lot of RF noise inside the phone. The noise is what causes all the GPS problem. If your phone happen to have a better GPS reception, you will not suffer much from the noise problem. A lot of SGS seems to be on the marginal reception state.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ehe12:
this seems to be a very reasonable answer. is there any chance to boost amp power and reduce RF noise via software update? Or is there a simple way to raise gps signal via applying some hardware change, say, adding a case or what so ever?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] foxbat121:
You can play software tricks, e.g. complicate algrothms, to reduce the noise.

You will have to tap into the GPS antenna. That will not be easy.

Samsung is likely trying to come up with a decent enough software algrothm to supress the noise floor so that it will give better, more consistent result. That's probably what they meant by 'optimize GPS' all along. They knew it will be cost prohibitive to fix the hardware long ago.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nemethb:
I did a factory reset and my GPS isn't working at all now. I used to get 7-11 satellites in view, even in my house. Now I get 1-3 and it doesn't connect to any of them. The SNR is generally 25-30+ as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] foxbat121:
Factory reset deletes GPS cache which means you need to go outside and wait for your first lock. Or you can use lbstestmode with MS Based mode to get your first fix quick.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anoneemooz:
Was that meant to be a joke? :)) I don't really get it. Maybe I'm too young. My bad!

It was just a random theory 'cus I've read (not that much) reports of people having perfectly fine GPS in other countries so I was just curious why I never even got a lock using my SGS here in the Philippines.

Then again it is likely an issue with the phone or something haha *face-palm* I said I used my n82's GPS and it was fine here. Oops haha scrap that theory then!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nemethb:
Thank you Senior Member, I'll give that a try. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nemethb:
That worked. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Oletros:
Then, please, don't tell another time this nonsense.

Ah, coPilot doesn't works well also, but GMaps, GNavigation and coPilot work well on my other Android phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ehe12:
well...hopefully the algorithm is not so complicated that slows down the machine performance...

Also there could be a chance that the new built devices would have slight differences on hardware for better gps signal?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] betoNL:
From all of the gps posts I read in this forum, this one (above quoted) is quite interesting.

First I thought the Gps chipset was not capable enough ( it never views more than 10 satellites simultaneosly), but now you talk about the antenna design, RF Noise, etc., as well !

Is there any research about that? How did you come to this conclusion?

Cause I did some research and it was even difficult to stablish wich chipset the sgs is using...

There are so many Gps threads out there that people get easily lost.

Many users dont even know the difference between online gps programs (like Google Maps) and offline ones like Sygic mobile maps for instance..

(And Google Maps is not available or working properly in many countries)

Or the difference by acquiring a satellite fix INSIDE a building (a-gps by trilateration from cell towers) of outside (by acquiring fresh efemeris data from satellites).

Anyway this antenna theory is interesting. Would you elaborate?

Thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] betoNL:
I think it is always good to regularly reset gps data and download "fresh" one in order to get more stable navigation after a cold start since I am reading theories about less capable gps chipsets and/or bad designed antennas, meaning the need of all kind of assistance to improve fix speed and navigation stability.

For those (like me) that will go online only through WIFI, I would suggest going outside but still remaining in range of your wireless router (or another wifi spot),

open gps status app. ( I show it at the end of my 2nd video) and download new data.

Hello every one.

I have a problem with my Java on Artemis P3300. I want to install a program called

<Battle.net Mobile Authenticator> made by Blizzard. It has to run on WM based devide like the Artemis but they say it is verry sensitive to the Java version on the phones. Do any 1 know what version of Java I need to Install on the artemis to run that program? Or any tips that can help me?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] NeoS:
Well, you're posting in the wrong subforum. I'll move it to General, since it's not related to unlocking or rom cooking or anything. Maybe someone else can help you.

Good luck with your problem.

Wireless tether works fine if u download it from the market.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] killer2239:
Quick question regarding the facebook sync. By reading your summary of the facebook, i wonder if i have a different issue. When i go to accounts and sync, when i click add then facebook. It just goes back to accounts page. Does not even let me enter facebook information. However i am able to use the facebook app.

Is this the bug your referring to, or am i experiencing something different?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Yes. Does the same to me. :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] killer2239:
Ok, thanks for clarifying. In your summary might want to put something regarding "Unable to add to accounts & sync" , just for others that might be curious.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] killer2239:
Wireless tethering worked for me, i just installed the one provided in the 10minute root video again after CM6 was installed. Then tested it and it worked fine. I also have Hydra Rom for stock speed undervoted with wireless N. Noticed when i did tethering it only connected to my laptop in G mode, however i am able to connect to my router in strictly wireless N broadcast.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Carsten4207:
Had this problem last night which forced me to revert back to stock firmware.

I plugged in my phone to charge at 11 PM. Then at 12.30 ish AM, i heard my phone vibrating. I looked and it rebooted. So i let it be, then few minutes later I heard it again. Then I decided to revert back to Stock.

Thinking that it was maybe caused when charging the battery. That the batt got 100% then rebooted? Not quite sure.

I can test again if needed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] touchpro247:
Good idea.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
You are most welcome!

Thank You very much
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cray1000:
what time is the nightly build and what time standard/zone?

i would love to try this but cant without bluetooth and am hoping it makes it into the next build. in my state they are cracking down on using your cell phone without a handsfree and giving big tickets to make up for budget shortfalls. so i need bluetooth. (i am too deaf for speakerphone, especially on the incredible, its not that loud)

i am excited, especially now i am 90% sure i am keeping the DINC now that the DX is officially going to be a ***** to root and no roms looks likely. and i dont know why blogs that pimp the phone keep saying "root is still inevitable" but i dont agree with that, if you cant get into the boot loader we would have never rooted the incredible and it only makes sense motorola has locked down the backflip root methods and made sure rooting will also be hard.

i just really want a bigger screen and a fast gpu, other than that, the DINC is the best.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
cray1000, I edited the OP to answer your question on the build times.

You guys are all VERY welcome! I'm glad I can help make any of this easier. I can't develop (yet :)) So this is my contribution for the many things I get from XDA, Koush and the other developers!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cray1000:
thanks man! keep up the good work!

and nice, based on your answer on the first post, we have a new build as of a couple hours ago, anyone running it yet? anyone have a revised bug list? should we discuss that here or in the other thread?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BossMafia2:
It would appear that the incredible has been removed from the buildbot cycle as of the latest build. A version was built today (check the dates) but looking here: http://buildbot.teamdouche.net/tgrid it's no longer listed
[Droid Incredible Android Development] killer2239:
I hit check for update on the rom in Rom Manager, but it didnt say there was new rom. The last one under nightly builds in rom manager still has same time stamp as one i got last night.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cray1000:
if you clear download cache and redownload it should be newer, someone posted the repo and it clearly showed a date and time of today even though the file name still said 7-8 or 7-9 on it the time and date were 7-10 unless it was mirrored then or osmething.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
The filename doesn't change. Just clear the download cache in ROM manager and then choose download ROM, reinstall as usual. I guarantee its a different file. Updating OP with what my current build version shows.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] daftlush:
Sometimes download of apps in market just stalls.

Some apps fail to install. (android-vnc)

Sometimes screen doesn't register touches until rotated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] killer2239:
Deleted the CM6 zip file from the sd card, then redownloaded the nightly build. Installed and noticed the rom version now has 7/11 as the date instead of the zip files number. So thats good. I see you crossed out the green light while charging bug. Thats only difference i have noticed thats been fixed.

I really hope they are concentrating on Facebook, Camera, GPS bug the most. Thats the biggest deal breaker for most i know.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] killer2239:
Awesome news! I think he had to take a break doing Unrevoked and such.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Asterdroid:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
Any way to get the whole 8 gig internal storage mounted like the skyraider rom has done? this rom only shows as having 800 megs or so mounted instead of the full amount
[Droid Incredible Android Development] onetraakmind:
Bluetooth is buggy for me as well. I successful paired the Inc with my car after several tries, but I can't actually connect or make calls. Not sure that the (2.1?) bluetooth driver is entirely compatible with froyo.

GPS (initial lock and continuous tracking), MMS, and LED notifications are working fine for me now, although these are not as important to me as bluetooth and the camera. Can't complain though...making progress.

Thanks for all the time you guys have spent on this!

http://www.multiupload.com/WG6FPGWQNK It's on page 16 I think.

Now, can someone respond to my wireless tethering question? :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Just so there's no confusion from people thinking they somehow missed a CM nightly, that is not an 'official' 7/17 build, that would be BossMafia's build from the 'official' 7/11 nightly. As for using the built-in wireless tethering, this does not work. The Wireless Tether for Root Users app from the market works fine for now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruben1123:
They do the same thing. Wireless tether, that is. But no more for me, I've used 3.3gigs this month because of traveling. :o

[Droid Incredible Android Development] vandykky:
I had the same issue with boot looping, then when I got it working bluetooth would pair but not connect, then randomly reboot. I've been running the last nightly build almost a week with only 3 reboots and some random fc's (xda app mostly) can't wait for the next build from Koush!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruben1123:
woot. someone tell me when this is released :cool:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] onetraakmind:
LED notifications, for battery charging and SMS, *just worked* for me after I wiped and installed the modified fourth nightly (aka Boss's release). I initially installed it right over top of the fourth nightly without wiping and had no SMS LED notifications.

I haven't really checked to see if other LED notifications work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] city345:
I've installed BossMafia's release and it's doing nothing but freezing and rebooting on me. I've installed it numerous times doing a full wipe each time. I know I'm doing something wrong even though it's just a nightly build but I can't understand what it could be.

You can get them at incredibleroms.com. Load the zip file onto the root directory of your sdcard. Boot into recovery mode and choose the option to load a zip file from the sdcard. Choose the gapps zip file and it will load. Reboot and you should be good to go.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Calakato:
Does anyone know if the new update will have the market fixed? There's still a few apps that I can't see
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Asterdroid:
From what I understand, the issue with the market has to do with the market only showing apps that are "compatible" with your OS version. So apps that "don't work" with android 2.2 don't show up.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm actually in the process of doing a nandroid backup, factory reset, flash a 2.1 ROM, download the apps I want, titanium backup, factory reset, nandroid restore, titanium restore, titanium market doctor.

Good times eh?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruben1123:
You are absolutely correct and I did the same thing. Titanium backup saves lives.

Anyway, when the Cyan6 update comes out, will it be posted on his twitter or what?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Asterdroid:
I'm sure we'll hear about it :)

And yeah it will be on either his clockworkmod twitter or his koush twitter.

Check this out from the homepage for the EVO Cyanogen:

"Even though WiMax, HDMI and FM radio aren’t available with the release, Cyanogen managed to fix the Camera and camcorder. This hasn’t been done in any Froyo Evo ROM yet, so it’s cool that it will work now."

If Koush can take this and apply it to the INC version....... oh man I can't wait.
