[Captivate General] WeAreVenom:
Hoooooooly ****. :eek:

I went from getting a lock in about 2-3 minutes to getting a lock in less than 20 seconds. I even rebooted the phone and it still worked that fast. I was able to confirm my lock with GPS Test(app) and using Google Maps to find my position.
[Captivate General] iamamp3pimp:
trying it now.

looks like its thinking.

will update in a few.

Update

it has 9 and has an accuracy of 10 meters and it jumps to 30 and back to ten.

how often does the * drop on your sats, or do they stay on once locked on?
[Captivate General] WeAreVenom:
Update: I get a lock in my house in less than 10 seconds! Bwahaha! Bow before me puny mortals!

I wonder how long this fix will last?
[Captivate General] ranova:
time to lock is not the primary problem with the GPS, I can get a lock within 5 seconds if I opened up GPS test app before I open up navigation. Especially in the house or standing stationary, where it uses skyhook.

the REAL gps problem is maintaining a lock with GOOD (<5 meters) accuracy WHILE moving. Which, I have not seen any fix remedy.
[Captivate General] WeAreVenom:
Why would you want it to be less than 5 meters? How wide is the average highway? That's all I need.

Regardless, I'll test it out tonight on the way in to work.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
The problem is it can't maintain 5 meters or even 10 meters lock for long. If Captivate can stay locked at 10 meters accuracy, I'll be happy.
[Captivate General] mi04se1:
Tried in and locked onto 8-9 sats with an accuracy of 10m. Went into GM and got a lock in under 30 seconds.
[Captivate General] phr00t:
I believe the problem with maintaining an accurate lock is because the Captivate defaults to having a very high threshold of satellite accuracy. Using the default setting of "Accuracy: 50", it takes a long time to get that level of accuracy. In addition, when you do have a lock, if the satellite drops below this accuracy (even for a short moment) -- the satellite is dropped. This is why you see many satellites being picked up and dropped all the time, and this is why the accuracy ranges so much after a lock is gained. The fix is simply setting the accuracy to 150 (in addition to the other recommended settings) -- which gives the satellites more "room", and keeps them in use.

My theory anyway... seems to work so far :D
[Captivate General] Shovelhead84:
2 minutes after selecting test:

11 sats found

8 locked

Located within 10m, 7 seconds after Google Maps launch.
[Captivate General] clipse94:
Okay, this is my first post. I've been reading these forums for a couple weeks now. This is the first and only thing that made mt GPS work correctly. I tried almost every other gps fix I read about but none seemed to do anything. Thanks.
[Captivate General] frankencat:
So is this with the stock settings or with other tweaks?
[Captivate General] thindery:
This does seem to help somewhat. I was able to get view 9 sats and get 6-7 to lock. GPS Test app was working and could calculate my speed as I walked across a parking lot. I could even see myself move on maps (never seen it move without bouncing around and such).

I will test later this evening on my drive home and see if I can get google navigation and actual turn by turn to work.
[Captivate General] thindery:
I tested mine using the stock settings bud I had changed the server and port to the google recommendation in previous "fixes".
[Captivate General] frankencat:
Can you all post the settings you are using with this workaround?

Please use this format:

Application Settings

Dynamic Accuracy:

Use SkyHook:

Use PC Tool:

SUPL/CP Settings

Thanks.
[Captivate General] thindery:
First off I have "Use Wireless Networks" off. It seems to prevent a lock for some reason.

Application settings:

Session Type - TRACKING

Test Mode - S/W TEST

Operation Mode - STANDALONE

Start Mode - HOT START

GPS Plus - ON

Dynamic Accuracy - ON

Accuracy 50 (or 150) I have heard that 150 may help keep locks because the lower the number the more picky the phone is. The higher, the less picky - thus keeping a lock better. I've done both, indifferent on which is best yet.

Skyhook OFF

PC Tool OFF

Supl/Cp:

Custom Config -

Server: supl.google.com

Port 7276

Secure Socket ON

AGPS - SUPL

Hope this helps. Everything is "stock" except for the google stuff.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Don't wast your time. There is no *fix* out there. All the different settings can make it work one time but not other times.

There is a guy in i9000 forum called TravUK who claims he works for Broadcom, the GPS chip maker for Galaxy S. Although he is not allowed to post the exact info, he said, there is no fix out yet in any of the firmware so far and from what he posted, it is definitely a driver issue and seems that Broadcom has a fixed driver already but don't know when Samsung will have it and release to us. And none of the so called fix, by change some settings, fix anything other than reset the driver so that it will work for a while until it breaks again.
[Captivate General] phr00t:
My settings, which I have had good results for -- tested with an hour of turn-by-turn navigation over 2 days:

Application settings:

Session Type - TRACKING

Test Mode - S/W TEST

Operation Mode - MS BASED

Start Mode - HOT START

GPS Plus - ON

Dynamic Accuracy - ON

Accuracy 150

Skyhook ON

PC Tool OFF

Supl/Cp:

Custom Config -

Server: supl.google.com

How is it wasting our time if the alternative is to wait and do nothing? :D

Some people are reporting this helps (myself included).

[Captivate General] halfhp:
I'm assuming that means that the "eugene" fix didnt pan out either? Didnt think it would, but I was still hoping...oh well.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Not really. I tried your exact settings and the GPS put me half mile away half the time for a 25-mile highway trip. So, like I said, try all you want and you will be back to square one sooner or later. Most of these settings will help some but not others. Most importantly, not consistantly.
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
If I revert to stock settings I will never get a lock. Some lock is better then no lock at all and it is not wasting my time. It's like taking medicine for the flu, you can't cure it, but it relieves the symptoms.
[Captivate General] polarbee:
I've lost track of the number of times I've tried this "fix" to have it work for a little bit and then start failing again. Not a true fix by any means.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Then you better line up all the different fixes so that you can apply them one by one because every fix will fail after a few days (which is typically the time that your GPS cache data needs to be refreshed).
[Captivate General] lillejord:
Hmm... I doesn't seem to matter what settings I use. It all works the same. For me, for the most part, it works. It takes a few seconds to get an inaccurate lock and then a few seconds more to get an accurate lock. When walking it generally stays with in 5m. I visually verify it by my actual position verse the markers position on Google Maps. Driving doesn't seem to be as accurate, but it doesn't seem to need to be since navigation apps cheat. Though Google Navigator will get confused at some intersections when I'm stopped.

I think it was in the other (pinned) GPS thread that someone mentioned that the reason all these "fixes" work is because the have you restart the phone. It doesn't matter what settings you choose, its the restarting the phone that does the trick. Maybe I don't have the same issues as everyone else because I seem to restart my phone quite often? Maybe it has something to do with the storing of data and the corruption of data rather than an particular setting?

[HTC Aria General] DPLOY:
I installed Smart Bar and noticed that Peeps and Footprints, as well as some other AT&T bloatware randomly load into memory by themselves - and when removed using taskmgr they reappear. I can not figure out what is loading them...is this a prob with all AT&T Droid builds?
[HTC Aria General] asiancuta:
i know that footprint loads whenever you checkout your photo album. and if you decide to send a picture to Facebook via "share". than the facebook app is started and doesn't close when done so it's constantly running in memory.

i periodically check my tasks via ATK and kill them when needed. it's a lil tedious but it saves a little on battery life.
[HTC Aria General] khaytsus:
No it does not.. And Android will reload them anyway. Don't obsess over what's running in the background.
[HTC Aria General] DPLOY:
Sorry Man - with all due respect - I can't let the 'Man' control my phone.

Let's stop the unwanted loading of bloatware!
[HTC Aria General] Ki77erB:
I installed ATK and set it to auto kill all the running aps I dont want as soon as I lock the screen. My battery life has improved significantly. I also installed a new ROM that doesnt have all that AT&T bull crap...Im sure that helped a bit too.
[HTC Aria General] khaytsus:
Kill them all you want; Android will reload them as needed.

As for not loading bloatware, wouldn't that be nice.. But you can remove them or load a ROM without them.

Could't find anything useful in market, and Desk Clock from Nexus works exactly as it supposed to and its very nice.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mikey98277:
I think it FC because it is set up to work with stock music app, not the Samsung one, if you want Eugene has a ROM that has the stock music and stock clock that is in this thread, if you replace the Samsung music apk with the stock android one, it should cure your FC issues. Just download his ROM, pull the app and install, if that doesn't work, use root explorer and remover Samsung one, and replace with stock android.

Errrrm right at the moment theming is kinda hard because we dont have full r/w access so you cant use metamorph. You can use launcher pro to get a different dock and apply everything manually though.

I dont no about making the phone louder tbh.

And to make an ext3 partition go into rom manager, go to partition sd card. Use 512mb with swap of 0. This will wipe your sd card though so back it up. Use an app called quick system info to see if it worked (should say A2SD storage).

Hi All,

I am fairly new to this phone, having only used it for 2 days. That said, I have already flashed it and tried 3 different ROMS, and still searching for that which will enable me to do both the following:

1) get rid of that awful clock on the front page. I know some people like it, but it is definitely not for me - it is valuable screen estate!

2) List the e.g. most recent 5 Email subject headers on the front page (and e.g. when clicked on, will open up the full email)

If you know of any ROMS and/or ways to do the above 2 that would be great. I understand that MaxSense can prob remove the clock, but the ROMS I have tried hasn't allowed me to list the Emails received on the front page.

Any help in Identifying an appropriate ROM and/or progs to do the following would be great.

Thanks all,

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
That will be a personal choice. If you ask me, it's Fresh, but that's really the only one I've used consistently. Somebody else will say DamageControl, or Baked Snack, or even the stock 2.2 ROM.

Nevermind, I am an idiot. I was looking in apps, and found it in the settings section... phew.

First off, I am new. And thanks to all for the useful info around here.

Now of course, for a problem: I think maybe I did something unfortunate.

I rooted my phone, killed all the at&t stuff with that titanium backup app. Was setting up my home screens, and decided I wanted the 'Battery Use' icon on a different screen, so I clicked it, held it and dragged it to the trash. However, I think I hovered too long and maybe uninstalled it... I didn't know that was possible, the app is still running, so I can access it holding the home button, but I can't find the icon anywhere, and I think when it quits running, it might go away forever.

So, can I get this thing back? Am I screwed? Is there an alternative? I really know nothing....
