[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
still takes a while to find me... my iphone4 found me in about 3 seconds ;)
[Captivate Android Development] :
That means its not working =], on the vibrants it locks in a few seconds. =/, anyways i told eugene to take a look at it, maybe he can figure out whats wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] anosis:
First time (cold start) took roughly 5 minutes. Then turning off GPS and waiting 15 sec before restarting GPS, hot start took only 5-10 sec.

I will leave it off for about 10 min now and report back if GPS aquisition is quicker after the first lock.

UPDATE: After about 10min of GPS off it took only 5 sec to re-aquire the satelites. I had 7 sat showing and 5 of them had a lock with 5m accuracy. Maybe you are onto something. May I ask what the fix actually does?
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
getting a lock is a minor problem compared to MAINTAINING an accurate lock, does this fix address that issue or just the lock on time?
[Captivate Android Development] Berserk87:
Thats good news.

Although its a little sad if this is fixed by a community dev before samsung.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Ask eugene_373 he knows the details about the fix, i just tryed mirror hes finding on to our captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] anosis:
Ok. Took a drive and 20min into the drive enabled the GPS. It took less than 5 sec to get a lock and the tracking was spot on for me.

One side effect I have noticed is that my screen would usually turn off after 30sec. (confirmed that my screen off setting is 30sec) however the screen will stay on for longer. It darkens but will not turn off in the amount that is set.

Only worry with this is the obvious battery drainage and the fact that you may end up randomly dialing folks because you assume the screen turned off.

WOW! The screen is still on even after 5min. This is even the case when the PWR button is acidentally pressed and you are on the lock screen - it will just stay there. Not so good.
[Captivate Android Development] imstill@g:
So is it safe to say you have the captivate running with the

vibrant 1.1 update zip release running with the gps ? If so I would happily run some testing for you
[Captivate Android Development] dweebs0r:
I applied this fix to my captivate and the gps does seem marginally better but it has the unfortunate side effect of not turning off the gps after I exit the application that is using it. I just went through approx 45% of my battery in 2-2.5 hours and I noticed the gps at the top had been trying to lock on this entire time.

Edit:

I just used task killer to kill all open apps and the gps was still actively searching (noticed on my taskbar) despite the fact the all open apps were closed.

I had the turn off the gps using the Power Control widget.
[Captivate Android Development] djtama:
I'll help as well. Got rooted stock with AT&T crapware removed, and RM/CWM installed for backup/restore. Let me know what I need to do.
[Captivate Android Development] :
No, i ported eugene_373 vibrants gps fix over to the samsung captivate, the original vibrant gps fix wont work simply because of different build.prop's, but regardless the fix dosnt seem to fix the gps on the captivate, im waiting on eugene_373 to see if he can look at my update.zip and some how figure out whats wrong...
[Captivate Android Development] :
I haven't experience any of does issues on my device, besides this only changes 2 lines in the build.prop, nothing major, my gps stops trying to lock me once i go out of google maps, it doesn't turn off, it never does, thats not how it works, you always need to turn of the gps manually after using a gps app.
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
I think he means that he still sees the little GPS icon at the top, if its still there after exiting maps, the gps is constantly searching- thus draining a crapload of battery.
[Captivate Android Development] jhego:
Didn't fix my GPS, still not getting a lock.
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
I'm so confused that people are still having issues with there gps. There is a fix out there in the forums and on plenty of sights by changing to supl.google.com amongst other settings. At most it takes 20 seconds to lock. I've used it in navigator and google maps and it follows me everywhere. Does this not work for everyone?
[Captivate Android Development] Baccarat:
Diffed Eugene's changes

I've diffed Eugene's changes compared to a stock Vibrant and here are the details:

The first relevant change is the GPS section in customer.xml. The Captivate's customer.xml does not have this section at all.

Vibrant Stock \system\csc\customer.xml

<GPS>
<NbAGPS>1</NbAGPS>
<AGPS>
<ServAddr>lbs.geo.t-mobile.com</ServAddr>
<Port>7275</Port>
</AGPS>
</GPS>

Eugene \system\csc\customer.xml

<GPS>
[COLOR="Red"] <GPSMode>agps</GPSMode>[/COLOR]
<NbAGPS>1</NbAGPS>
<AGPS>
<ServAddr>[COLOR="Red"]i[/COLOR]bs.geo.t-mobile.com</ServAddr>
<Port>7275</Port>
</AGPS>
</GPS>

The second change is to add new settings to build.prop. Most of these changes appear to do with the modem but the two agps lines appear to be the relevant ones.

Vibrant Stock \system\build.prop

rild.libpath=/system/lib/libreference-ril.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyS0
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
persist.sys.timezone=America/New_York

Eugene \system\build.prop

rild.libpath=/system/lib/libreference-ril.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyS0
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
[COLOR="Red"]ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8
ro.ril.hsupa.category=5
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.telephony.default_network=0
ro.ril.def.agps.mode=2
ro.ril.def.agps.feature=1
ro.secure=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1[/COLOR]
persist.sys.timezone=America/New_York

It appears to me that this fix is trying to enable AGPS in much the same way as the LbsTest menu fixes have tried to do.

I tried adding the GPS section to my customer.xml using supl.google.com and 7276 instead of T-Mobile's server/port. I also added the two agps lines from build.prop. I cannot tell that it mas made any substantial improvement.
[Captivate Android Development] arthurdent3:
Sadly it doesn't work for everyone. I have tried all this. I even exchanged my Captivate for a new one. The new one is better as I now get a lock but the changes to the setting still make no difference. For the most part the best I can get is an accuracy of 200m outside with a clear view to the sky. I have gotten less but for the most part it is too far off. Driving down the road is funny since it can't keep up with my driving and sometime put me on a parallel street from the one I am on.
[Captivate Android Development] djtama:
I have the same issue. I'll be driving and suddenly, its rerouting me or worse, it finds me about a mile away in random directions and stops getting accurate locks. This is annoying as hell. Fortunately for me, my sense of direction is good enough to get me to places, but to have this resource unavailable if the need arises is glaring to say the least...
[Captivate Android Development] anosis:
To follow up on my last update from above...

The initial testing looked very promising, got locks and accurate tracking within 5 sec, but then after the 4th or 5th try (turning GPS off for a few minutes and back on) the lock suddenly took over 5 min again and the accuracy was switching between 5m and 30m.

Also the more anoying issue of not having the screen turn off any longer is what had me nanroid back to my previous settings.

All I can say, keep it going because sooner or later someone will find the smoking gun and we will be able to use the GPS as intended.
[Captivate Android Development] psychrage:
So my settings in the GPS menu (*#*#1472365#*#*) are now read-only, I'm stuck with standalone mode...and all 6 of the files replaced are r/w. Any clue if this set something else to read-only?

I'ev even tried putting the stock files back in, still read-only settings.
[Captivate Android Development] omriasta:
update seems fine

I have stock AT&T (using odin3) and have the device rooted and ATT software removed.

Screen turns off as usual, gps isn't flashing in notification area when I exit maps, and all gps settings are not read only.

I can't vouch that this is better but it seems like a bit of an improvement. When I first turned it on it was off by a few blocks but it slowly closed in on my location and seems to be pretty accurate once it gets there.

Still, coming from blackberry bold 9000, it seems pretty poor. Took over 10 seconds to get that initial lock and even more time until it zeroed in on the correct location. Also, on the BB when it wasn't 100% accurate it would give you the error range (blue circle). This phone seems to give me an error range as well but it is 100% WRONG. I can get a blue circle with 1/2 block radius on the map which is about 3-5 blocks from my actual location (meaning the error margin is incorrect as well...)

Will give it some more time and test a bit more. I have 9 days left to return this phone......
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
YES! Thats the issue I have. I can get a lock as long as I am stationary very quickly, like 3-5 secs, 10 at most. But as soon as I start to move, even if I am just walking, it loses lock and has me jumping all over the place.
[Captivate Android Development] xetrev:
if this is an official release from samsung for the vibrant then i would say were screwed with the GPS issue. From the files it looks like they made some changes for the assisted gps but nothing promising. This seems to be a hardware issue now in my eyes...
[Captivate Android Development] zoid_99:
Use the "Fix Permissions" option in ROM Manager.
[Captivate Android Development] psychrage:
I have tried this 3 times now, to no avail.

Considering a factory data reset. I don't really want to do that though.
[Captivate Android Development] omriasta:
tested a bit more, gps was much worse under this fix and took much longer to get a lock, also the errors were much worse (30 blocks off instead of 3-5). Flashed back to before the update....
[Captivate Android Development] naplesbill:
This is not an official release so making any assumptions off of this is rather naive.
[Captivate Android Development] xetrev:
Hence the reason i said IF.
[Captivate Android Development] LinuxNewb:
So after all the tweaks and configurations all I did was switch my config to automatic config as opposed to manual and the GPS locked on in about 10 seconds.
[Captivate Android Development] JiminSD:
I am curious if people are keeping track of the time and places when comparing tracking, locking and aquisition time with the changes they are making. Where I live there are two short periods in the day when there are only 5 satelites visible during that time of day aquisiton times are very long and tracking is imposible on my Samsung, during other times of the day when there are more than seven satelites visible aquistion is very quick and tracking is better but not good.

There is no doubt in my mind that there is an issue with the Samsung unit in locking and tracking but I think it is seeing the satelites ok from what I can tell on the plots of the satelites postitions.
[Captivate Android Development] psychrage:
So I've still only got read only on my gps settings

I've used ROM Manager to reset permissions, I've manually set read/write on data/gps/secgps.conf. I've deleted secgps.conf and had a new one generated, I still cannot save changes to settings in the LbsTestMode screen.

I've even replaced the "Vibrant Fix" files with the stock captivate files.

Its stuck on standalone mode.

Any one have any other suggestions or should I just do a factory data reset?

HELP!
[Captivate Android Development] jhego:
I think i'm getting the same, how do you flash back before the update? I don't see any original files posted by the OP to revert back.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Deleted the test update.zip after realizing the files given to me were from a stock i9000 rom, intead of the att captivates stock rom files.
[Captivate Android Development] psychrage:
I ended up doing a factory data reset. Settings are no longer read-only.
[Captivate Android Development] omriasta:
Using the Clockwork Mod Recovery, I made a backup before updating the settings. You can always go back to factory default using the ODIN3 tool if you didn't make a backup.

Just search google or this forum and you can find how to.....

I have mattc Leo 1.5 installed on my HD2. I also downloaded Estrongs File Explorer and is able to mount samba directories in LAN. Now, now the problem is that when I try to open an video (.avi, .rmvb) in the samba directory, it opens it with the Android default video player, which doesn't play these files.

I was trying to go to Setting -> Application and find 'Video' application to clear the default, but I don't know which application to clear default, and I don't see any video player related application anyway.

I was hoping that I can default open .avi and other video files with rockplayer, can someone please help me?

Thanks so much for your time

Edit:

I think I give up on ES File Player for playing video on samba , I saw something similar from nexus one forum about mounting samba as local directory, and then rockplayer can brower and play. does anyone know if it is possible for mattc Leo 1.5 build

Base on this thread from ES File Explorer forum, I believe you are right

Now, the question is, does anyone know any other ways to mount samba and play the media file with desired media player such as rockplayer?

Thanks!

Total shot in the dark here as I dont have rockplayer yet and my android build has just took a s**t,,,, but...

Does rockplayer have some sort of playlist editor? is there a paste option in the playlist editor?

Copy while browsing in ES -> paste into the playlist editor???

Probably a really stupid idea but its an idea lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekudzu:
I also use the combination ES and rockplayer. Its a nasty work around but i do as follows: start downloading the file with ES. Go to rockplayer and start playing the file. Its works quite well and no waiting. Hope this helps until a better app or update comes along.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d101p:
You can use CifsManager

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeese5:
I know a workaround.

-Set your preferred player as a default (menu -> setting -> application -> <you player>).

-Browse your samba directory using es explorer.

-Tap & hold the video file.

-Select Open As Video.

It automatically plays the video using my 3rd party media player.

(I didn't try with a music file).

[Galaxy S I9000 General] TudorEm:
I have a question. SGS is a great device, with a super S-AMOLED display, so on and so forth. But the real question is: can it fulfill basic operations like calling? It has any signal dropping or things like that? Because somebody told me that Samsung aren't known for phones, and if I spend 450 euros for a phone, I want to be sure that I can really dial numbers with it. Don't take this post as a joke, because applefanboys also took iPhone 4's problem as a joke, and you must buy a certain bumper case for it to dial and call.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
no problem with phone calls at all

the only known issues with gps fault and lag, which are both fixed with the latest firmware
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TudorEm:
Brilliant! Cheers for replying! So does SGS worth?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
SGS is worth it, plus add in untapped potential with Froyo and better games in the future, we are only scrapping the surface.

As for Samsung not being known for phones, this is entirely untrue. They are the 2nd biggest cell phone manufacturer in the world and the largest seller of phones in the US.

Samsung's issue is that they aren't known for their smartphones, with less than 5% of the global market, and they are known for dropping or never starting the support on the phones. However, they have already acknowledged GPS (from what I've read) and that they are looking into it, some people have little issues with the GPS. Also, they have already released official firmware updates in at least 3 countries. I think the difference in support is mostly due to carriers, as their biggest market (besides the US but they just recently launched) and most trusted parter SK they have issued 4 firmware updates.

I owned the original iPhone so this is my first Samsung smartphone, but I've got it and am not looking back.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Harts@J:
In my opinion, it really is worth of every cent.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Heh, you're not the only one, and I don't say that from my opinion, I say that from the reading of how much these phones were going for on Ebay and other p2p sales. Meaning, they were often worth more than their asking price. And, all the people who bought them in these countries...well only there were so many people who opened the box without even thinking of selling...To them, it means that it was worth more than the street (Ebay) selling prices (assuming they knew or considered the possibility, of course not all did)!
[HD2 General] summonme:
Hi, i bought a new TMOUS HD2 off ebay, seller said it was unlocked. there was a Tmobile SIM card in the box, the phone boots right up with that card with no code, but with my own Norwegian card it needs a unlock code. is this something that is inside the box or do i have to get it from my seller?

Thanks for helping a beginner out :)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
using a code is a one shot process. Once it has been done, it never needs doing again.

COdes arrive as emails, or I got mine in a letter (from O2 UK), so if there isn't a print out of an email, or a piece of paper with the code on it, then the seller didn't send you one.

So, it sounds like yours isn't unlocked after all. I would get on to the seller straight away.
[HD2 General] gosmeyer:
If it says you need an unlock code it's not unlocked! Buy one on line - just google unlock code for HD2-
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
+1, I would get a hold of the seller immediately.

It's possible that they put a custom ROM on the phone and like many people do they assumed that = "unlocking" it. However, they still didn't give you what they advertised they were selling, and you should pursue that like usual via e-bay's policies.
[HD2 General] pbleonidus:
contact seller, sounds like he riped you off...

if he's no help, id recomend unlocking it from blowfish on ebay, $10 and i got a working code in like 3 minutes
[HD2 General] summonme:
I have sent an email to the seller asking for the code.

It is a brand ned never opened (as far as i can tell) box and i think i will just buy a code and ask him to pay me the same amount it costs me.

If he dosent answer i will use the "dispute" option.
