If you're looking for something to change the icons of stuff on the homescreens, I personally use FolderOrganizer Lite for that. You just have to start up the program then change the icon or label then place a FolderOrganizer item and you're done. Another one people use is Bettercut but I never figured out how to use it correctly even though I own it...

I've noticed with this chevyno1 kernal for cyanogen rc2 I downloaded, my phone gets pretty warm. What temperatures are unsafe for a mobile cpu? I know 60 and above is bad for a desktop/laptop cpu, but I'm not sure if it's the same for cell phone's.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] aerdely:
Well it depends, I've had mine get up to 135. The charger automatically shuts off at about 125 to 130 so it doesn't help to over heat it but also it seems to get a little buggy around 120 to 125. Normally the phone should shut its self down at a certain temperature also but you can set one you think is safe or precautionary if you don't like it that hot. Setcpu has temp safety settings where it'll either not allow the phone to operate passed a certain speed you specify once it gets to a certain temp. As far as bad I'm not sure but any overclocking will deminish the life of CPU just depends how fast you go and how hot you let it get. I ran chevyno1 4.6 and other roms but just switched to new sapphire rom using a 1 ghz kernel and haven't seen my CPU to go passed 110 yet. Its a very nice rom customizable fast and smooth.

Somebody doesn't like the metric system...

I am only basing this on my phone and usage, I haven't gotten this data from anywhere; I am using a 7 slot 1.1GHz low-voltage kernel.

I have SetCPU to drop the clock from 1.1GHz to 900MHz when the CPU temp reaches 38 degrees C. I have it drop to 400MHz at 50 C, but have yet to reach that temperature.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] token419:
I think he was referring to trying a hero kernel on an eris, not undervolting the eris.

The reason we dont have such features is nobody has gone in and done it. The Hero has more market penetration, so there will be more users/developers by nature.

The source for the kernel is out there, we just need someone with the knowledge and the know how to do it and post it.

Im too busy atm to think about it, got to move + work + vacation + alot of other stuff, but its an idea i have pondered, but honestly i have never compiled a kernel, and lack the time for awhile into the future to even research it.

It definitely would be cool though :)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
I just wanted to start a new poll about the performance of the GPS. This time there's also an option to choose a firmware version (*). For the best results it is adviced to participate in the poll after a few weeks of "real life" usage, so you can form an informed opinion.

I've forgotten to include the JF firmware versions. For this versions please choose one of the options for the JG firmware versions. Unfortunately I can't edit the poll. I don't think that this will be a great shortcoming for the results because the differences between the JF and JG firmware isn't very big.

(*) Because I think too many errors will slip in when one can indicate the firmware and the GPS opinion by multiple choices, the list is a bit long. I tried to keep it as clear as possible

(Mods: In order to make the poll as "objective" as possible, maybe it is possible to make this a sticky and close the thread. I can add a link to a new post where the results/finding can be discussed or I or someone else could place a link to the old poll/gps thread where there's already a discussion going on)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty_uk:
cant vote in your poll as mine is yet to be firmware upgraded, im running JF3, and my gps is currently running fine in google navi (as i siad in the original thread it does jump at times but it is still very usable), however my tracks shows this first statment to be abit wrong. so im still working on it and need to try and sort out the firmware upgrade i cant seem to work it out just yet.

btw i have had tis second working phone for 1 week 3 days now, the first was taken back after a week where it would just simply not get a gps lock at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cyberz:
I have original firmware, Android 2.1-update1(have only rooted it), and no have problem with GPS at all, for now.

No offense, but whenever I see people praising the quality of the GPS by if and how fast they do get a lock indoors, I die a little bit inside...:( That's not real GPS fix you're getting, that's just aGPS at work.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gadjet0:
Well I've now set up my SGS with Copilot and used it in the same position in my car as I used my Iphone 3G, with Copilot, and I must say that the performance is extremely poor.

I thought the GPS in the Iphone was poor but it beats my SGS hands down.

firmware: I9000ADJF1.

That seems low compared to other posts I've read!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sjdean:
This really has to be the most ridiculous poll yet.

I've had problems in all firmware, although XWJM5 (as opposed to XWJM2) is yielding some hope for a fix. It's looking quite a bit better and is a lot more stable for a lot longer.

XXJF3 was great for a week then died and now it's so intermittent its ridiculous.

XXJG5 was better but had the habit of losing GPS signal and putting you 100 metres off and convinced it had to draw a track between your last known good and where it thought you were.

XXJM2 was better than that in that it took account of your speed and heading and never put you more than a few feet off, but it was still prone to making silly mistakes when it lost GPS signal.

XXJM5 is looking considerably better, but they still need to sort out locking onto Satellites < 20 SnR and more than 8 satellite fixes.

The reason I think for this is because of those things called Urban canyons, buildings, trees, etc, which have an annoying habit of destroying your GPS signal. A lot of other devices will cope. Unless you can see Satellites over virtually overhead, forget all hope.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Thanks for your observations. Unfortunately it isn't possible to poll every single firmware version with the current poll functionality

Just did this track with a brand new SGS 16 GB w/JM1.

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=U...254,0.046434&z=15&iwloc=00048d2c278fbc21e8849

Still, as sjdean mentioned, I suspect that this issue is related to several factors and cannot be singled out that easily. I have to have one in my hands to believe it but now I guess I'll go to the store to get my money back home. Not that I don't believe that Samsung and Broadcom might end up making their magic work... I'll probably not have enough patience to wait.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty_uk:
just incase it gets deleted, here is my comments on the facebook page

Ghosty like all the others here im happy with most of the phone but i had to take the first one back as it would never get a lock on any gps satalite, the second one however is a little better as a least this one can be used to navigate, but in my tracks it is all over the show, please can you at least issuse a statment about... what the fault actually is weather it be hardware or software/firmware, as the most annoying part of it all is not knowing what is wrong, as if its software/fimeware related im sure people will hangonto the phone waiting for the fix, if however it turns out to be hardware related then there is gonna be alot of upset customers, wanting exchanges. i think you just need to clarify exactly what the issue is, saying we are working on a fix just anit good enough, especially when you are locked into a 2yr contract with a phone that only half works.

come on samsung sort it out, and give the general public some idea of what is actually gonna be done about this.

I don't have some severe problems with the GPS most of the time. ( I still can't reproduce the artistic trackings though I see all over this forum - although I never used mytracks, but always use another program for this). Nevertheless, I still want my GPS to be very reliable and the reports I read makes me a bit uncomfortable. I use it a lot for "offroad walking" and I depend for 100% on my GPS for this. I need the thing to be accurate. I need to trust on it. So yes, I'm also waiting for Samsung to come out and make a statement about this.

The GPS on my JM2 is just useless... no matter where I am, in my appartment or at the very centre of the city, its just unable to locate me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cyberz:
Hi all,

I have used my GPS with sygic maps mobile 10 for 1387 Km and it works well!

Yes, when I entry in a tunnel it not immediately switch the screen from night and day light, it switch after about 50meter when already was inside the tunnel. This mean it is not 100% accurate but work well. Consider which has travel a street named "street of tunnel". In the same travel, the GPS of the my Iphone3gs with tomtom lost the signal always and employ many more time for take the signal again.

In city, have used POI features on the Galaxy S, and work well!

I'm "sorry", but cannot say "have a problem with GPS", because not have any problem with this GPS, for now. Some day ago has a problem with alarm clock, always have a problem with copy/paste from gmail and yahoo e-mail, but not with GPS.

For who interested, have the original rom, android 2.1-update1, only rooted.

Regards
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beowulf_pt:
Take some tracks with My Tracks and look at them. Then do some driving in a busy, complex town city map with lots of speed up/speed down, and in an area that you don't know. Then do some Sky and Layar.

If it works out well for you, you sure were lucky and got one of the 6 units that were shipped with a funcional GPS system. Special edition ones. Numbered.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Actually, there is definitely something very odd going on (at least in the JM5 beta firmware). Out of curiosity, I decided to test the unit in a single location. Google maps is quite accurate, and holds a steady lock in a single location (one which is slightly wrong).

The accuracy algorithm is definitely incorrect, and is too optimistic (it claims 5m accuracy sometimes when it's locked onto a house across from me which is approximately 10). So I'm not sure how useful these GPS test programs are, because at the very least, the accuracy value can mean double of what it really is. 5m lock doesn't mean 5 meters lock, it just says that, and if you check maps or tracks, sometimes, you are located outside those bounds.

Oh, and then intermittantly, if the screen sleeps and you QUICKLY get it out of sleep mode, the track does shoot off to another random suburb. For some stupid reason, mytracks also uses 200m min accuracy by default (so everyone should make that more stringent anyway).

At the very least though, you are correct, there are at the very least, definite software issues in JM5, and even in a fixed location something is going on incorrectly. In my case though, the position it incorrectly locks onto in the current location I am in is always to the west, so that is a possible coding error with using data types which aren't precise enough (really random guess).

Anyway, the accuracy values are wrong (end of story), and when the display sleeps, the GPS seems to be affected... Incorrect accuracy values could be due to dodgy drivers though.

But also, mytracks does allow the display to sleep too, which seems to cause the biggest fluctuations. So in summary, at a minimum:

1) Samsung needs to fix the accuracy calculations. They are definitely incorrect

2) Sleeping of the display causes major fluctuations in location. This may just be that GPS gets turned off, and uses half-old values and half new (or something stupid).

3) The location does seem to settle for a location slightly outside of where you are (at least when sitting indoors as I am now). If I were samsung, I'd double check that all calculations in their GPS drivers algorithms maintained precision.

But that's only sitting from a constant location, but yes, if a constant location isn't working flawlessly yet, driving wont.

Spme interesting info

Just wanted to share something. when I bought my galaxy S on the release date here in Canada on August 6th, the first thing i did when i got in my car was to try out the Navigation, and was thrilled when it locked in within a few seconds. Even inside my house, sitting on my couch, I could lock into gps.

I couldn't understand what all the complaints about GPS were about because over the past 5 days, my GPS worked flawlessly...until...i reset my phone to factory settings today. After this, I have not been able to lock into GPS. I was going to exchange my phone today because of freeze up issues, so I reset the phone to clear data. Well, Bestbuy was sold out, and asked me to come back friday for an exchange. Well now 'my location' is useless on this phone. GPS useless. What could have caused this? It seems that the gps works fine straight out of the box, but once a factory reset is performed, you can kiss GPS goodbye...what do you guys think?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] THUDUK:
SNAP, exactly the same as me
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty_uk:
not sure what happened to do that, but it is the same for other users, phone works then stops working, i did take my first SGS back as i could not get a gps lock at all, inthe shop we ran some tests mainly the *#147.... lnb test menu stuff nothing it was like the gps had vanashed, so they got me another (orange locked) phone and that was like a conpletly different story, that one achieved a 9 sat seen and 8 sats locked, the other wich was in my left had did manage to pick up a few 3 or 4 but never locked any and there was only about 1 feet difference between my left and right hands, so i was going to take that one till i realisied i have moved over to o2 so my new sim would not work, back to square 1. off the manager trundles to get another SGS (compltley unlocked, and factory sealed) she broke the seal in front of me so i could see it had not been toyed with, same result, 9 found 8 locked (this is the one i have in front of me right now) curently it has just found 5 sats and locked 4, accuracy to 10m, and that is with a double glazed window in the way, on a hazy day.

so i would agree there is definatly some thing going on.

Well that's definitely SLCD... OLED (like my phone) will be pitch black when it's on a black screen, as there is no backlight on them.
