I can't say for sure since I've never had this problem. Maybe someone else has and will try this otherwise, the only way for you to know would be to try it out. If AUTO-Config gives you these problems move back to spirent-lcs

It's something to do with LBS I know that so the link below here should help explain things more indepth.

***Most importantly, we have to see if this lasts or not! I noticed some weirdness on AUTO-Config and I'm going to be trying out Spirent for the time being.

I live in Houston, and I get that randomly when I'm at work. I have that problem with the old and new Vibrant. The new Vibrant, locks on my location when I step outdoors though with no problem at all. I'm just testing this FIX to see will it fix the indoor problem, but so far, it just showing me I cant find a location.

Edit: After 5min it found my location... Running the GPS Test and it actually locks on and off 1 Satellite..
[Vibrant Android Development] jkcheng122:
Cool, doing the fix now.
[Vibrant Android Development] jkcheng122:
For indoor the new method does not get me a GPS lock. For outdoors I didn't have problems using the previous fix.

So I did this change and got 11 satellites in my office in the GPS Test option from those test mode settings BUT GMaps still says unavailable. Any advice?

Man I am so bummed...i really wanted this to work...i don't use the gps sll the time but I use it enough that I am almost regretting my purchase..i hope I can get a gps lock tonight so I can actually find my way...this is really frustrating

What is it with people in Houston all having this problem. I wonder if it is just the area we are all in (I work near the Medical Center.) I want to trade my phone in for a new one but if its going to have the same problem I am not sure it would be worth it. Are you having the problem still after you switched yours out? Is anyone else getting the error of "Not enough space in music database" when trying to listen to music and selecting the "Artist" category?

I'm in Houston and its always saying I'm in Houston and I tested the gps while in my truck and its great but indoors its not that great... but is need it more in my truck anyway so who cares lol
[Vibrant Android Development] silox2000:
Anyone else having issues with the settings in the LbsTestMode menu not sticking? I was able to implement one of the posted fixes here before, but not this one as the settings will not stay. They change successfully on each screen, but as soon as I go back and then return to the screen, they are back to where they started. I can even confirm the settings did not change at the bottom of the main LbsTestMode menu with the status display. I've turned off the Wireless Networks setting under location before trying this many different times, reboots out the wazoo and at different stages(tried changing the setting, rebooting immediately without checking it again and no go). Also did a 'Delete GPS Data' with no help.

*edit* It appears I can change the SUPL server address and port just fine, but the operation mode change from MS Based to Standalone does not stay.
[Vibrant Android Development] silox2000:
Looks like I found the culprit. I had recently installed Spare Parts and changed the Activity/Process Management setting from Normal to Aggressive. Changed it back to Normal and all is well.
[Vibrant Android Development] boomerbubba:
My test results of this configuration

Thanks, heygrl. I tested this configuration. Still failed to get very good satellite locks as shown in GPS Test and GPS Status. But using My Tracks over a driving course and a walking course, I compared the results to tracks generated on my trusty old G1. The G1 captured near-perfect tracks, both driving and walking.

In general, my Vibrant in this configuration performed pretty decently driving, except for one or two places where it apparently got lost and its track veered far off the road. Walking, not so good. The Vibrant's performance was much worse than the G1's benchmark.

You can see the comparisons here (zoom in to discover the differences):

Driving Test Vibrant v G1

Walking Test Vibrant v G1

From these results, and other anecdotal testing using different settings on the Vibrant, I am guessing that the Vibrant firmware is doing some fancy post-processing of flawed output derived from the GPS chip -- buffering, smoothing, interpolating -- sort of guessing where the next coordinates ought to be.

The results seem better in a rapidly moving car, when the motion can outweigh errors more easily in some smoothing algorithm, but not when one is moving very slowly or standing still. Then the sampled path is less predictable relative to the size of the error, and the reported path jumps all around. This effect can also be seen slightly at some waypoints during driving tests (at a stoplight, for example). While the car is stopped, the sampled track can start to wander.

This kind of post-processing would seem to be at best a workaround to mitigate the effects of lower-level errrors. Which is one reason I worry that the root cause might be in hardware, and thus not completely fixable in new firmware. On the other hand, if the low-level errors are in buggy firmware -- the Broadcom combo chip reported to be in use offloads part of its GPS processing to the CPU -- then there is hope for a true fix, not just a cosmetic workaround
[Vibrant Android Development] thunderstruck!:
Thank you! That was a great analysis. Hopefully they can get this whole thing sorted out before the competition comes up with a phone that doesn't have these problems. I don't feel like renewing my contract for another 2 years with a phone that isn't up to speed.
[Vibrant Android Development] techspy:
Just tried this fix. First I must say that I was running one of the earlier fixes, which seemed to have my GPS working fine. But, yesterday I did a test where I turned on GPS and pulled up Google Maps as I was driving home. It took about 5 minutes to get a lock. So, I just tried this one. I went outside where I was about 20 feet from the large canopy of an oak tree and about 30 feet from a 2 story building. I got approx 10 sats in view within 30 sec and got a lock in less than a minute. It showed my position within 5 feet of where I was standing. I walked down the sidewalk for about 30 feet and it updated very well. It jumped one time but was only about 5 feet off and immedtaly came back to where I was. This was still very close to a lot of tree cover. The compass seemed to be working great as well.

So, seems to be better for me now. I will test on the way home in the same exact loaction I tested yesterday to see what, if any difference there is.

Thanks for the info!
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
I used the same app twice that I normally use for tinkering. "Here I am 2"

First test gave me a Accuracy of 30meters and the lock took a bit.

After the fix

Gave me an accuracy of 7-11meters and the lock was pretty quick. I'd guess at least half the time that it took before the fix.

I plan on doing some more testing before and after the fix with some reboots in between to see if it just happens to be locking faster because it knew the previous location type of thing.

Also noting that in the GPS test within the dialer

Before fix 11 sats 2 locked and sometimes 3

19m accuracy

After fix 12 sats 5 locked

5m accuracy
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
If you guys are still having problems inside of a building you might want to try re-enabling Network Based LAC, it really seems to be tied to something else. It's all wonky. I was at the dealer and the phone wouldn't get a GPS fix until I enabled it, and it located me directly inside of the building within seconds. Reboot

GPS configurations issue

guys im having issues getting in the LbsTestMode, i know the code and I have used it before *#*#1472365#*#* however now it just wont take me there. the only thing that I have done to the phone was to install the latest froyo leak XXJPC.

is there another way to get to the menu

[Vibrant Android Development] djf8:
Tried this in combination with eugene's gps fix. Seems to be working a bit better now. Thanks

*Update*

Sigh....well as with every other "fix" I've tried after a few hours my GPS performance silps away into nothingness. Oh well thanks OP.
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
Wow, thats all you did huh? So the only thing you changed was to install a test version of a rom made for a different phone. I can't imagine why such a minor tweak would cause any problems.
[Vibrant Android Development] alonav:
Worked on my European version galaxt s

Thanks!

I got gps reading within seconds in my house near a window!

P.S: I tried it in israel with the stock rom version (Android 2.1)
[Vibrant Android Development] dsellers2:
LOL Now that is a humerous response. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
That's just the way it is. My 100% unmodified (GPS) Vibrant will pick up a GPS lock but stop working after a while until I reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] quailallstar:
Same here :(
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
Same problem here. This "fix" works the first time I try it, but then I'm back to no location a few hours later. Reboots don't help.

It seems that just going into settings and changing something, anything, will trigger the GPS to work - for awhile. These fixes are all really just the same thing.
[Vibrant Android Development] shootr:
I've gotten in the habit of just rebooting if I want to use the GPS. It's sad, but it saves time..
[Vibrant Android Development] quailallstar:
Can you please post the exact stock settings? I would like to revert back and want to make sure that I do it correctly. Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Android Development] gordon.mott:
Wow. Mine went from being picky as all getup to locking almost instantly.

[Vibrant Android Development] eortizr:
non of the gps fixed works.. they all do the same... reset the GPS....

I tried every fix available and after an hour or so.. it just stop working...

what I do know is just enter the service menu , Clear GPS data and then I launch my Google Maps or navigator.. and I get a lock in less than 20 seconds..., is like something is getting the GPS stock... so once you reset the GPS data it just start working again
[Vibrant Android Development] RockHead:
I've found that letting GPS Test get a lock first, then going to Nav normally works for me. If Nav loses the lock, exit Nav, re-lock in GPS Test, re-enter Nav
[Vibrant Android Development] csci1000:
Thank you so MUCH! almost PERFECT! 13 in view - 3 in use sitting on PC desk about 10ft from windows :)
[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
the thing to keep in mind here is that the issues with the GPS are driver related, specifically related to first generation bugginess in the drivers for the Broadcom BCM4571 chip. These will get resolved with the update forthcoming.
[Vibrant Android Development] dattaway:
Its raining outside, two large trees over my house, and I'm on the lower floor. It quickly picked up the signal of 9 sats. I can say this didn't hurt...

This didnt work for me, but luckly hybrid R3 gets me a 5 sat lock in like 15 seconds, with 11 in view. So much better than the 1-2 I was getting on stock. Plus battery is better too.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
Is that from Eugene? I wish we could have something that looked completely/near stock but was heavily modified underneath it all. I don't want to use something that takes us back and removes functionality/features.

Used these setting after I flashed the leaked firmware update GPS zip.

Now my location is found in a split second, were before it would take 5 seconds

2 days ago my phone failed to the ground from top my bed and got wrecked

I think and I hope it's from that cable that connect contacts of LCD to main board I think it called Flat or something else.....

I disassemble it my self and I wanna to show it to a mobile service center tomorrow....

anybody have any idea about this issue?what's the problem?:confused::confused:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve_God:
Before you start considering taking it apart, try plugging into your computer first.

I know it sounds daft, but after I dropped my phone last summer, when I tried to turn it on you could see a slight change in the shade of black, yet nothing would show. (Implying that the screen was still powered in some way, but just didn't display anything)

I'd just tried to plug it in to get the data off it before sending it away after a few days of hoping it would come back on, and the screen came back on!

It might not work for you, but it's worth a shot! :)

Since android is designed for ARM, and no x86 you'll need to look into a project like, http://www.android-x86.org/ . May I ask why you want android on a PC though? Just run a regular linux distro. Check out Ubuntu it's probably the easiest/straight forward distro you can get.

at the moment Android x86 does NOT work for anything but intel *of course unless your using vmware, or vbox*

If you can find buildable drivers for your hardware, you can just build and 'cook' it, just like we do for the hero, and KAZAM! Works. :)

Should the device be CID unlocked as well to flash a custom Rom / Different Language ROM?

the phone works with any SIM so i assume it is SIM unlocked. But not sure whether its CID. Dont know how to check either.. :o

I am trying to flash a Rom with a WWE (Originally Italian). Hard Spl flashed successfully, and the new WEE Rom also flashed successfully (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5822694&postcount=2)

But then the phone boot halfway through and returns back to the Boot loader mode and displayed the message "Your OS ROM isn't customized for your hardware. Please reflash the proper ROM code or contact the service center."

Is this because the phone is CID locked? where can i get it CID unlocked?? :confused:

Alright, after much back order and delay, I got my replacement Evo over the weekend, free of charge (it was past my 30 day return). Its a hw Rev 3 Nova just like my last one too. Im glad Sprint did the right thing, maybe knowing this will help others with the same problem.

On a side note, the nice lady that was helping me was taking a long time to port my number over to the new phone. I asked her if everything was alright, and she smiled and replied "Yes, the phone activated just fine. Now Im downloading the new android update for you." ahhhhhh! I kindly asked her to stop ASAP and told her I would apply it later. That would have been aweful, stuck with an unrooted froyo.

Anyways, just thought Id share. Good luck to the rest of you having this problem!

If it has never been dropped or abused, I'd suggest returning it. There's no reason the plastic should be cracking on its own. If anything, something went wrong with the way yours was manufactured.

The cracks are at equal parts down the side of the phone, and then theres an extra one. I have been super careful with this phone, its not been dropped, nor does it have a single scratch of any type on it anywhere. It's in mint condition.

Next time when you charge your phone, wait until the green LED turns off (indicating that the battery is 100% charged).
