Ouch...

Why did you not return your phone instead? I have never had my SGS freeze and I have never been able to drop a call by cupping the antenna, altough the signal strength does go down, wich it will on ALL phones with built in antennas since you are shilding the antenna... ( NOT SAME AS IPHONE4 design flaw where you shortcircuit 2 different antennas and that part seems particulary hard to grasp for some on this forum....)

But, to get on subject again, the GPS has been bad, that is for sure and I hope this is a step in the right direction.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dakine:
Its clear that testing the gps is waaay too subjective and subject to too many factors. Applications have no effect on the gps performance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bartbla:
My gps has been working perfectly with 3 firmwares.. it's much faster then the one on my old iphone 3G
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DrBarrell:
My GPS seems to be very hit and miss, but it has worked on the several occasions that I have really needed it (getting lost).

And widjaja why are you still shambling about this forum when you sold your phone? get back under your bridge.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TravUK:
Once again, another thread started because someone made one change, tested it and it worked, then posted how great it was. Trouble is since the GPS can work fine for days on end, and then not work for days on end, these supposed cures are pretty much all wrong.

The GPS doesnt work, and so far there hasnt been a public explaination as to why, just lots of guesswork, and no fix has been released (in any of the firmwares available today). It's coming, but its not here yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sammy555:
Seems some phones work some dont.On jf3 my gps was shocking but on jg5 it has always been spot on with google navigation and co pilot and ive tested it a lot in all weathers.It has never lost lock and is always bang on with position.I even tested google maps satalite view in the car parked next to a tree and it had me right next to the tree-within 10 feet accuracy.I dont change any settings just leave it on whatever settings jg5 uses.Im in england if that makes any difference
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] psychedelic'd:
Found a fix on another forum and its been working pretty well for me.

Enter *#*#1472365#*#* in the dialer to enter GPS settings and change the following:

Application Settings:

Operation Mode - MS Based

Use SkyHook - ON

Accuracy - 30

SUPL/CP Settings :

Server - supl.google.com

Server Port - 7276

SUPL Secure Socket - OFF

I was having problems with 3G and WIFI with these settings at first, so I left Operation Mode on Standalone and Skyhook OFF. Works great now. Just tested it and got 9 satellite locks and 5 in use.

I'm in Hong Kong btw running local JF7 firmware. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bynar010:
I'm almost convinced that most of the problems people are having is down to google maps. I'm not saying that tweaking the settings as people have, inc me, doesn't improve maters, but I believe there is an underlying compatibility issue between google maps and the galaxy which is making the issue seem worse than it is.

If I leave gps test running while driving I get at worst a lock down to 32 feet, speed is accurate and never lose lock even when on roads totally covered with big wet trees. It looks spot on.

Google maps navigation can't even get me in an accurate position when stationary, start driving and its bloody awful jumps all over the place and sometimes doesn't even move for 30 seconds after I've pulled away from a junction.

I've updated my supl settings to use google (manually edited the conf file, I don't use the hidden menu screen because even if you change nothing it makes changes to the conf file on exit, delete the file and reboot to refresh it) and updated my ntp settings to use europe.

In the jg5 rom google maps is built in, so I can't reinstall it or seem to be able to clear the cache to see if that helps in anyway.

It wouldn't surprise me if any gps fixed rom released by samsung contains a tweaked version of google maps that works.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DailyApper:
How would I restore my Captivate completely back to stock - as if I were to just purchase it and pull it out of the box?

The situation is I uninstalled some apps with titanium backup and it wouldn't let me reinstall them or restore them. My swype lags and freezes the phone, it was actually doing that before I played with the AT&T apps - but now I need to get it back to stock so I can take it in for a replacement. Or, if taking it back to stock would fix swype then things would be fine.

How do I get all the original applications back on the device and get things back to normal so the people at AT&T do not notice it was played with and try and blame the swype issue on me?

I appreciate it!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] designgears:

But All new Sense ROMs don`t have it anymore. Is there a way I can find it and install it on my 2.1 Hero? or my 2.2 Magic?
[Android Apps and Games] sprocket87:
You can install WidgetLocker ($0.99 but well worth it) and add the Music widget to the lockscreen that way. I have Pandora, Jorte calendar, Settings Profile, the clock and the stock Music widget on my lockscreen at all times this way.

NOTE: I've now resolved this by running program, waiting for error message, close program, run program again.

Hi all,

Attempting to install HSPL onto my HTC HD2 (WWE) running latest stock rom. Followed steps as normal, connect and sync phone with PC (syncs everything successfully), then run 'HSPL3_PKG.exe' (I'm right-clicking and running as Administrator).

It successfully reboots my phone into bootloader (tri-colour screen) but just stays there, after a minute or so (whilst still saying "Waiting for USB connection..."), the program then pops up this error message:

I have tried several cables and different USB ports. I've also tried manually entering the bootloader then running the program (volume down and turn on), also disabled a/v & firewall - all to no avail.

I'm running Windows 7 32 bit professional, Windows Mobile Sync Center 6.1.

Phone software is as follows:

SPL-1.42.0000 XE

OS Version: 5.2.21869

ROM Version: 1.66.405.2

Radio version: 2.06.51.07

I'm a software engineer by profession so don't be afraid to get technical! Any help is very much appreciated.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
It happens to some people that they simply cannot get it to work.

Usually it's enough to boot manually into bootloader, shift to a USB port directly on the mainboard, and right click run as admin, but even there some people just can't get it to work for no obvious reason. AV/firewall policies, perhaps, something to do with teh usb drivers, who can tell!

The quickest first test would be to try a different PC. Its a one off process anyway, since flashing and syncing works fine, its just hspl that can be funny.

(Not running on a virtual box are you?)

Why is DFT HSPL2 for HTC Leo so difficult?

PS: Second desktop pc is identical configuration to the PC in use here, so trying another PC is a bit of a sledge hammer
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
This is the same as the recommendation to boot into bootloader manually, and then connect USB, wait for SERIAl to become USb and only then run hspl

because front mounted ports are connected via a usb hub on teh motherboard, , efectively a usb port into a usb port into the mainboard, whereas the ports around back are direct to teh mainboard.

somepoeple simply never get a particular PC to wor, no apparent reason.

The usual three suggestions apply

1 - never forget to right click and 'run as administrator'

2 - boot into bootloader manually, connect usb, wait for serial to become usb, then run hspl

3 - try all your ports, but especially try the ones around back.

EDIT - oh wait, you are on 64bit, there are tons of threads where 64bit wont work. Got a handy 32 bit machine around anywhere?

Solution to USB failed problem

Hi, This is simple as a piece of cake :)

1)Make sure you can access your phone with USB cable or it does'nt show any message like 'Insert disk into drive'.

2)Just Turn on USB option from your mobile device & run HSPL as administrator.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] djR3Z:
I have and use both. SystemPanel tracks it, but doesnt give you an estimate of battery life or how long to charge. It also doesn't have a widget for it. And you have to go thru multiple menus to get to it. Not to mention the fact that JuicePlotter uses less battery in its method of tracking.

But again, I use both :) The paid version of SystemPanel is def worth. I'll be doing a demo of that as well.

Is it possible to use Ext2 on my SD-card instead of the useless FAT32?

Once again the FAT32 filesystem failed.. And I cannot access my SD-card anymore. I think its the third time the crappy useless piece of **** stoped working now. And yes, I didnt do anything wrong. I just mounted it and about 2 seconds later it disapered. dmesg gives me a lots of I/O errors.

Were living in the year 2010, not the 70s.. With all my heart, I f*****g hate Bill Gates for ever released the crappy filesystem. I didnt switch to Linux just to run som old crappy Microsoft filesystem.

I'm sorry for my language, but Im really mad at the piece of **** atm.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sublue:
Well,

I've had my Hero for 5 months, and only once did my SD Card become "de-formatted". And this was only when i ran the original 1.5 ROM. :mad:

What ROM do you currently use, or have you used only the official ROMs?

Or could it be a hardware problem? :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Hund:
Im using VanillaEclair 5.0. :)

Seemse like its a hardware problem after all, the SD-card adapter that came with the SD-card (?). I found a way to mount the SD-card in recovery mode and it works just fine now. Doing a new fresh backup as we speak.

But I'm still intrested in using Ext2. Feels kinda stupid to use some old filesystem.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sublue:
FAT32 is kinda old and crappy, yeah. :rolleyes:

But you can use on almost every OS and all that? :D

Ext2/ext3/ext4 and so on. Can't be read by windows if i'm not mistaken?

But, yeah. A newer file system would be awesome. :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Hund:
Theres 3rd party drivers for Ext2/3 filssystems on Windows. It worked pretty good when I tested it about 3 years ago.

Im only using GNU/Linux on my computers. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sublue:
Oh, nice. :D

Well, i use Windows.

Tried to make Ubuntu my "main" OS, but really i got bored.

There's too much to do, and not everything works as you would want it to..

So, i went back to Windows because everything is simpler and mostly everything works.. :p

Anyways! My point was that Android must be using Fat32 because of compatibility for most of today's OS's. :D

And we have ext2/3/4 data system for the ext partition. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] malarcy:
From wikipedia - ext2 1993, fat32 1998.

What do you actually want/need the file system on removable card on a phone to do? Does it actually matter as long as it works?

Oh and I use both Linux and Windows - so no religion for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Hund:
To work properly.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] malarcy:
Not sure what soft format would make up for faulty hardware but I guess blind faith is a good a hope as any.

My questions were genuine, I was interested in what features you wanted from the ext2 filesystem that you didn't have in fat32, from your response (and actually from your initial post) it seems you just want to lash out in your frustration at your hardware.

Sorry to have shown (a passing) interest in your posts - not a mistake I will repeat.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Hund:
Its not FAT32. I dont like the license and the patents by Microsoft.

At first I thought it was FAT32 that was the bad guy, but it was the SD-card adapter. But in general FAT32 isnt know to be the most stable fs and I had problems with in the past.

Kinda funny though, just cuz I dont like FAT32 and use GNU/Linux I must be some kinda stupid fanatic user with Linux as my religion.

I was really angry at the time. I have lost all my data atleast once before cuz of the FAT32 and I thought I was going to loose it all again, since my last backup was a few weeks old and I've been doing a lot of stuff with my Hero the last few days.

So, now I hate both my SD-card adapter and the FAT32 filesystem. If that meets the criteria to be clasified as some fanatic Linux user so be it. I dont care.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sublue:
Jolly good.

Use EXT2/3/4 format in External SD Card in Android

Google search is in (ADW)Launcher(2).apk...so a morph is better for that.

And for each launcher you need a different morph....

I will wait till CM gets final to do that....

I love these, however, I've started using a new ROM and recently upgraded to Windows 7 and I've given up trying to get ADB to work.

Can I just pull the working APK off my phone, unpack these APK files, and overwrite the files in the original app with them? If not, how else can I get these to work?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ryjabo:
I was lucky to get Windows 7 to again recognize my Nexus One with USB mount.

Just copy your APK and paste it into the same directory? Last time I did that it showed the two of them next to each other. I'm willing to try again, though. So if I've got you right:

1. Match perms on the two APK's

2. Copy your APK and put it into /system/app

3. Reboot

Right?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Yes..but all in /system/app/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ryjabo:
I did what you said, but it didn't work =S Your file just overwrote what was there, completely, which broke it, I assume.

Twitter not even showing up in my list of applications, now, either. I'll have to reinstall it... which will put it in /data/app probably. Does it make a difference where it is?

EDIT: Moving it to /system/app and renaming it just broke it.

Grr.

Can you just make an update.zip that I can flash in recovery? hehe! I would if I knew how =P

EDIT: Installed Twitter again and moved it to /system/app and renamed it to Twitter.apk -- cleared cache/dalvik and rebooted, it's working now from /system/app -- now how do I go about getting your theme working with it? Last time I tried overwriting the apk it just broke it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
That´s a good question..

You tried: deinstall yours....

adb shell rm /system/app/Twitter.apk

search in data/dalvik-cache.. & data/data..if there´s anything to clear...then install smoked apk.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ryjabo:
Success!

I feel like an idiot now.

Since my adb doesn't work, this is what I did (I should have done this from the beginning, I think I was making it harder than I needed to).

1. Removed every file on the phone (including cache) related to Twitter.

2. Put your Twitter.apk in /system/app and set perms

3. Rebooted
