I am running stock and not even rooted.

I got mine at Fry's (Plano) last Sunday.

Work like a champ since day one.

I am so glad my GPS is working fine without issue.

Sorry for those folks who have problem with their GPS, you should have return and exchange for a new one.

If the GPS issue is still there after the exchange, then it's probably your geographic location?

Just a guess.

GPS works, compass does NOT
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
Ummm, yea, i dont think, good try though....
[Vibrant General] engineer14:
everything works for me. I downloaded the compass app from the market and it seems relatively accurate (im assuming when it starts up, it actually has the right direction, i dont have a compass to actually compare it with). I DO NOT HAVE A DATA PLAN. I also ran the fix where you change your supl settings, but i doubt that should have any effect since i cant connect to the server without data!

gps takes 2-3minutes for a cold fix while driving. i used the gps code to see how my phone locks on, and i have gotten up to 13 or 11 satellites (cant remember which) inside my 1 story house.

i work on the third floor of my building and forgot to turn my gps off when i got in, i still had a lock when i got to my cube (accuracy had gone down to 40m, but it got back below 30m by the time i decided to turn it off). you should also note that cell phone signals also have a hard time inside these buildings.

a hot fix (after 30 minutes of no gps, but still in about the same location i turned it off) took less than 20 seconds..

only time gps really failed me was last night when it acted erraticly for about 10 minutes, but returned to normal.

so thats my gps story!

[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
Now this is interesting....i have been through multiple ROMs and GPS always worked when I lived in southern california. Now in ohio I never get lock. For those who use custom ROMs, I am on obsidian v3 - froyo JK2 and didn't make any changes when moved from california to ohio. But GPS stopped working. Now this may explain why people report contradicting facts about vibrant GPS.
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
Issues: Yes

Firmware Version: 2.1-update1

Baseband Version: T959UVJFD

Kernel: 2.6.29

Manufacture Date: Not quite sure---know it's July 2010 though (box is at my apartment)

Have also tried JI6, JK2, JK6, JL1. (These include both stock and the awesome TW releases.)

I'm able to eventually lock onto sats when "Wireless Networks" are active (have used the GPS Test menu to verify sat lock). When "Wireless Networks" are disabled, I usually get nothing. It sees several sats, but never locks. Thinking my phone is just broken...it's from eBay AND it has been dropped, so obviously no possibility of replacement...
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
Only time I had hard time locking is when I was o jfd firmware after that I was pretty much fine.

My GPS is fine for me but there is a reason they changed the antenna on the nexus s. Like I said a while back putting phone in flightmode GPS was much more accurate pointing out that the phone and GPS antenna interfere with one another
[Vibrant General] ZachLL88:
Looks like a lot of people are having problems on jfd.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
Compass doesn't work either on JFD

JFD is horrid and people still on it should upgrade to at least JI6 i mean it was released at an OTA over a month ago.

If you haven't gotten the JI6 update yet chances are you wont ever get it....manually install it don't rely on T-Mobile horrid upgrade process
[Vibrant General] KnowledgeBroker:
I don't think this is a software based bug, my phone hasn't had any gps issues that I can see at all regardless of what software I am running. Stock, then with update, various 2.1 and 2.2 roms, some that include gps fixes and not.

Maybe someone can explain what the actual problems they are having is.. because I just haven't had a single one I can tell. Maybe it is a problem related to where you are location wise, or a batch of phones have slightly different hardware? I don't know.. but I am happy.
[Vibrant General] ZX3ZX4:
silentbtdeadly-

It's good that some phones, like yours, don't have GPS problems. However, it's not location based. It s a wide-spread and known issue, and really is annoying in an otherwise great phone. Some people can never get it to lock on to satellites, while others have big problems with accuracy or having the navigation stay on track. Mine was terrible until the JI6 update and that pretty much fixed it.

If you do a look around on this forum you'll see a number of threads that detail the various problems. Out of curiosity I just Googled: Vibrant +GPS +problem, and got 650K of hits.
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
I've flashed back to stock several times...I've likewise installed the JI6 update through Kies. Just can't get a reliable lock using only gps. If the JI6 update doesn't fix it, does that mean it's probably a hardware problem?
[Vibrant General] darksandz93:
So I've had GPS problems ever since i got the phone in late July, until yesterday I've tried every single fix out there (supl google, samsung restore, auto config) and have flashed many different roms claiming to have fixed the GPS. Nada. GPS would never lock on no matter how long i tried and when it did it kept jumping around all over the place or would just come to a complete halt even when im still driving (on the freeway too mind you). I honestly thought it was a hardware issue, it HAD to be! THEN i flashed Nero beta 2 last night and praise the lord my GPS is ABSOLUTELY better, it veiws 10-12 sats and locks on 9-12 sats within seconds. I believe it has to do the the JL1 modem or kernel whatever it is. I really suggest trying out the Nero rom or if anything try flashing the JL1 modem.

then REBOOT (didn't work otherwise), then install Voice Search (the new voice command app) and Google Search (the widget). credit goes to pugsby in the evo sub-forum.

still can't get chrome-to-phone to install though ("installation unsuccessful") even after manually removing the version that was already installed and rebooting. not sure why that's happening.

That's odd you can't get chrome2phone to work. I just downloaded it and plugged in my info and was good to go. Took a few secs to send to my phone.

Should've checked the market before I uninstalled my search, not that I use it much, because now the voice search and google search don't show up. Can't follow the QR codes because googles doesn't work. And uninstall and reinstall of googles fixed the FC problem.

I have a problem which I only became aware of when replying to emails from my HD2. If I reply to an email then the recipient replies back to me, the email text I sent to them has lost all the new line formating and appears as one block of continous text from start to finish. This doesn't happen if I send a new email, only when I reply to an existing email. Has anyone else noticed this problem and found a way to prevent it?

[Droid X General] kymikes:
I just got a leather belt holster for my Droid X (I have had problems with belt clips on snap on holsters in the past) and a quirk is that 2 of the 4 possible ways to put the phone in the holster cause the magnets in the cover to turn the phone on (battery killer). On WinMo phones, there are usually some reg settings to suppress magnets from activating the phone. I have done a fair amount of searching but don't see any counterpart on the Droid X. Does anyone have any tricks?? (non rooted). Fortunately the other two ways don't turn the phone on but I now know how to put the phone in "car dock" mode. TIA.

[General Questions and Answers] WaltA:
Is there a way to change the soft "phone" button at the bottom of WM 6.5.3 main screen to be something else? I mean, I already have a hardware, dedicated, "phone" button. I don't need a soft one too.

It would be nice to be able to change it some something useful like "calendar" (renumbering my old WM 6.1 phone).
[General Questions and Answers] laurenti:
Left soft button :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112]

@="Calendar"

"Open"="\\windows\\calendar.exe"

Right soft button :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113]

@="Calculator"

"Open"=":MSCALC"
[General Questions and Answers] WaltA:
I have only 112, and its only subkeys of Default and Open, are both null strings.

I was expecting the left soft button to currently be set to "Phone", and that's what I have been looking for in my registry (ie, I know I'm in the correct place when I see it). I am guessing that for 6.5.3, the settings have moved to...??

But thanks. ;)
[Desire General] playsatan:
Hi all,

I was preparing my Desire for a LeeDroids ROM and was about to partition the SD card. I pressed back up current ROM by accident and the phone switched itself off. Now i cant seem to get it up and running again.

I have tried to enter recovery mode but nothing seems to happen. Does the process of getting to the exclaimation mark screen (where you press and hold vol up and press power) take long? All i see is the white HTC screen followed by a little black band at the top of the screen and then nothing.

Am i being impatient and is there any way of sorting this out?

Thanks in advance
[Desire General] cjm1979:
Take the Sd card out and see if it boots. If it does its the partition on the sd card needs doing again.
[Desire General] playsatan:
Yeah i sorted it - thanks for your reply.

I am still having a bit of trouble loading a custom ROM though - the zip folder is definately on the root of the SD card but every time i try to boot to the recovery screen the same thing happens. I get the htc screen - a black line at the top followed by either a freeze or a reset that means the handset can only be restarted if you take the battery out for a few seconds
[Desire General] Alex-V:

[Desire General] playsatan:
Thanks very much for your detailed reply Alex-V.

To be honest though i would even know which ROM to choose out of all of those. I've read that people have been unsuccessful due to HBOOT version incompatibility etc so i wouldnt know where to start

These are the details i have recovered from the bootloader menu

Bravo PVT3 Ship S-ON

HBOOT - 0.83.0001

Radio 4.08.00.09

My phone is unbranded and unlocked so no tie to any network but Orange UK is my provider.

I have seen other threads where there are different RUU's for different HBOOT versions but i havent come across any for 0.83 just 0.80 & 0.75
[Desire General] pehkblui:
0.83 ...

Is your screen SLCD or AMOLED?

I would be very careful with 0.83. Search around there are a few threads specifically for 0.83. Sorry I can't help much as I don't follow them except that some 0.83 come with SLCD and quite a few people got their desire messed up. It's been fixed. So read around first.
[Desire General] playsatan:
I was under the impression that my screen was AMOLED and had seen something briefly about the SLCD problem elsewhere, but if i'm honest i didnt realise that some desires had different screens (how can you tell the difference). Didnt really have chance to read it properly though so i will go back and have a look.

Like you say i havent seen too much info on the 0.83 HBOOT.

I appreciate your help

[Click General] haree:
hi

whats special about this i did see this on the market

just wanted to know what special or better than what we already have :confused:
[Click General] danne_jo:
you can for example scroll down and push down agin to get on top agin. so it scrolls around.

you can flash roms in folders. for example you have a folder structure like this:

SDcard/-install-/roms/Puzzlerom/all_files_related_to_puzzlerom

SDcard/-install-/roms/AnotherROM/all_files_related_to_AnotherROM

You can "start" your flash from android, so you can use your touch screen to chose what rom to flash. Start rom manager and select file to flash. rom manager will ask if you want to backup you rom and if you want to wipe. it will reboot in to recovery and do your choise made in android. for example, do backup, wipe, and then reboot phone to system auto.

This is just a little thing it can do.
