Exactly what are you "testing" here? I gather you don't have an Epic. So you are you somehow running some hacked form of what you believe the "GPS fix" is -- drawn from the Epic dump -- on the hardware of some other Samsung S variant such as a Captivate. Right? Can you please describe the steps you used to set up this test environment. What is it about the Epic dump that you are calling "the GPS fix," and how did you apply it on the other hardware? Did you flash a ROM, change config files, or what?
[Epic 4G General] gTen:

[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Thanks. What I see there are three hacked "experimental" versions of a "fix," none of which even purport to replicate the Epic environment completely. [Edit: I gather it was the "fix" supposed to be drawn from the Epic that was tested.] (For example, shep211 himself questioned how this can be a fix without new drivers. I agree with that criticism. But how do we even know what drivers this environment has?)

So it is not valid to run this test, which showed a less-than-successful GPS performance, and declare on the basis of that test that the Epic fix is incomplete as shipped.

The Epic fix may or may not be complete. We don't know that. We can't know it until a real Epic is tested rigorously.
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
I tested all the gps changes from the epic dump. They only thing that can change the resualts would be the epic radio. I dont think the epic radio would have a fix for the gps since samsung said its a driver issue. I think we all are going to be waiting for the updated drivers from samsung in sept to see if it really fixs the issue. But like you said we really cant comfirm these resaults until we test the epic rigorously.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
And how do you know the actual status of the Broadcom driver on the Epic? Do you or the developer of the "Epic fix" know whether the driver has been updated, or not? (I have asked on the dev thread, but no response yet.)

My impression from reading that thread was that the developer was quite candid about how much is not known about this shot-in-the-dark hacking experiment, which did not purport to be a test of the Epic itself:

.

In addition, the Epic has a mysterious new utility called GPSSetup, which no one has tried yet, and probably cannot without an Epic.

It is quite appropriate to post your results in that dev thread along with other users' results. They help disprove the hacker's hypothesis that the experimental hack might work on other devices. But your results do not disprove the hypothesis that the actual Epic works as shipped, which is what this thread is about.

On the other hand, I will note that we do not know for sure, from the recent public statement by Samsung, whether all the new Samsung firmware (presumably incorporating the new Broadcom driver) is actually installed on the Epic as released. (Although that is the optimistic interpretation.) The longer Sprint keeps quiet about this matter, and fails to comfirm this point of fact, the more suspicious I become that there is some spin going on.
[Epic 4G General] kgold708:
It's possible that the epic radio chipset has better reception due to different construction of the device. It is larger and is the GS "Pro", the larger form factor may have allowed for more optimal antenna/chip placement.
[Epic 4G General] heygrl:
No, there is no problem seeing sats with good SNR's. That doesn't make sense.
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
The new driver is not done yet. Samsung said mid to late sept. I bet it will be released with 2.2 rom.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
That is old news. Did you read the top of the thread? Samsung has made this statement, which makes a distinction between the status of the Epic and the status of the Captivate and Vibrant:

The assumption is that since the GPS has been "tested and validated" on the Epic, that is the version of the GPS software that will be installed on units sold to customers beginning 10 days from now when the Epic is released. (It would be more reassuring if Sprint would confirm this.) But Samsung continues to say the "updates" for the Captivate and Vibrant are due in September.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Miamicane99:
I tried searching around but it seems searching for music apps is not very efficient as there are too many variables (different versions of android, sense vs. no sense, etc.) So, I just came from always having sense (and using the stock HTC music app) and I was pretty shocked to see that making a playlist using the vanilla android music player is ridiculous. Unless I'm missing something you can only add songs to a playlist one at a time?? What were they thinking? Anyway, can somebody suggest either an easy way to get playlists onto the phone or a good music app with widget that has the ability to easily create playlists and has basic functionality (Shuffle, repeat, etc.) I don't need anything fancy with lyrics and whatnot but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Envynet:

[HD2 General] jcalderone:
Basically after my screen cracked I took it to a cellphone repair store.

Afterwards, my Wi-Fi doesn't work (unless it's RIGHT next to the router). Is this an issue that happened while they were doing the physical repair or is it something I may have (but just don't remember, or that they might have touched) done with the settings?

Any ideas?

Any/all input is very much so appreciated!
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Based on those symptoms, I'd say the odds are very good that they cut or disconnected the cable leading to the wifi antenna. I'd take it back to them immediately and show them that you hardly get any wifi reception now.
[HD2 General] jcalderone:
Yeah, that's my game plan. I just wanted to double check that it wasnt a simple solution I was overlooking.

btw, is your name a Phunk Junkeez reference?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
If you want to be positive that it wasn't something you did, before taking it to them, do a hard reset and see if the issue persists.

lol no, I'd never even heard of them, but I went ahead and looked them up online, and I can certainly dig their tastes ;)

Been flashing roms all day to figure out what's going on.

I'm currently back to a stock 2.2 rom odexed running clockwork recover.

Trying to flash to Virus' new rom. In attempts to flash the rom, I get stuck on the white htc evo 4g screen. I've wiped the dalvik cache, battery stats, cache, factory reset in that order before installing the rom.

I have no problems flashing other roms, I don't know what the issue is. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for any help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
I have no experience with this ROM, but you may want to try RA Recovery. I personally have never had a problem with clockwork, but many say they have. I might also be a damaged copy of the ROM. In that case check the md5 sum to see. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScaryBugThing:
When I did my first root/ROM-flash a few days ago, I was stuck on an infinite bootloop with Fresh Evo because I didn't properly unlock my NAND via Toastch's Part 2 root instructions. If this is your first custom ROM, try re-doing Part 2, which is the full NAND unlock (with the new PC36IMG.zip file).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATownI20:
Turns out that I didn't have full nand unlock, didn't know there was a partial lol... Say that because I've flashed at least a dozen rom/kernel/mod setups with clockwork Mod with no problems.

I went through and did the full nand unlock and switched to amon ra recovery and that solved my problems.

virus' rom is a beast you guys should check it out.

Anyway thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

[HD2 Accessories] donkeypunch85:
Well after seeing what user StickyAsGlue did for his Galaxy S in the portal the other day, [See Here] I was sort of inspired to build something simple from scraps of metal I had laying around from an old shelf and a couple tiny bolts. Heres how I did it, in list form so you can do it too.

1) I cut a 6 inch long piece of 1"x1" steel and a second piece 4" long using a hand saw. This piece makes up the main body of the dock.

2) I cut a gap the width of my phone (about 4.925" with the HTC Silicon case on) and .850" depth using a mill and a Dremel tool. I could have used JUST the Dremel tool but since I have a Bridgeport Mill at my disposal, well...

3) I then cut a second angled part from the 4" piece. This piece makes up the rear support/stabilizer.

4) Butting up the angled piece and the main body I spot drilled two holes. They dont have to be perfect.

TIP: Drill them slightly oversized for "wiggle" room.

5) Using two small bolts/nuts, I aligned the two holes on the stabilizer with the two holes on the body and inserted/tightened the bolts.

GOOD NEWS! Youre finished!

From here I simply painted it white with a can of outdoor paint. I think for the price and the simplicity, its a neat little holder. I got the fit tight so that even after a few test drops, the phone never fell out of the holding slot. Leave some feedback if you wish!

Hopefully the pic with my wallpaper on is OK. Everything is pretty well covered up. If not mods please let me know and I will remove it ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_woe_is_me:
I was in the group of hopefuls that unrooted and went back to stock this afternoon waiting for that OTA to hit.

Anyways, Im back rooted now with 2.15 baseband and running Skyraider 2.5.2 Vanilla. Everything has been running smoothly as it was before I unrooted and all today and no I didnt do anything wrong and all other programs are running fine.

When I launch a browser, be it the stock browser or Dolphin, it loads my google homepage without issue, but when I attempt to go to a different page, say, androidforums.com, the browser suddenly closes.

I did just run 'fix permissions' in ROM manager, but I haven't really used the internet since before now after the initial install of SR today. So I don't know if it's linked to that, or if it was like this right after the install.

Has anyone else seen/heard of this issue?

I did try searching with various keywords, but got no hits, and it's ridiculous to wait 30 seconds in between searches. I got things to do, xda.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_woe_is_me:
Ok I did a nandroid restore to revert the fixed permissions and I still have the same problem. Never had this before, ever.

Guess I'll try a wipe.

EDIT UPDATE:

I believe it was directly related with viewing webpages that used Adobe Flash. I did a full wipe and re-installed SR 2.5.2 and its working okay now. I sent the link via Chrome to phone and as it was loading, the page actually blinked right where it was shutting down before, but it was just a blink, and continued to load.

Maybe this thread will help someone else//

I was wondering is there a way to force 3g signal while on a call???
[HD2 General] d0ug:
The phone should automatically go to 3g is there is 3g coverage. I do not know of any way to force it. You can go into the phone settings and make it use WCDMA/UMTS only. this would however make your call drop if you go outside of 3g coverage.

Not automatically no. But you should be able to either restore to factory and then run the coming upgrade, or more likely, there will be home cooked 2.2 builds to upgrade to.

I've read and used a great deal of the information I've found in these forums, and definitely appreciate and admire all the work that is being done. But still being somewhat new to this, I'm a bit confused about all the ROM's available and what makes one better than others.

I've rooted my EVO to be able to run android wireless tether and Titanium Backup, and hopefully other things down the road (installed unRevoked3 and then 'Forever'..which worked flawlessly). But I held off on the latest OTA after reading that it cannot yet be rooted, and then I decided to look at the variety of ROM's out there just in case I might see something amazing. What I just don't get yet is what the most popular ROM's provide that are better than the 'standard' EVO (2.1-update1..build 1.47.651.1)?

(with due respect, I also wonder why a ROM would even be released if it kills 4G, the radio, battery life, drops the camera to only 3mp, etc..).

Beyond all this, I'm a bit confused about why HTC 'Sense' seems to be something that gets bashed a lot. Is it a bad thing for some reason..the phone is a beauty imho. This or that ROM says it does or does not have 'Sense' in a way that makes me wonder what's wrong with it as far as developers or the community is concerned?

Thanks. Any thoughts or answers will be much appreciated.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
Hi, for starters as long as you used unrevoked forever you can apply any OTA update and be able to continue flashing ROMs. This prevents the phone from locking out unsigned ROMs, so flash away. In regards to the many similar looking ROMs, most of the changes are under the hood and provide many improvements such as battery life. Also, many ROMs remove certain apps and services which are considered bloat and of not much use. Visually similar, but functionally varied. Sense, although providing some eye candy and improvements over AOSP, is heavy and requires a lot of system resources. Also, like me, many prefer having natural android over a heavily modified look. Hopes this helps
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATownI20:
Suggestion, if you have plans for flashing rom (and you will once you understand the advantages) make sure you are fully nand unlocked, also check to see if the rom you want does better with clockwork mod recovery or ra recovery. I love htc sense, but it kills the ability to use certain bluetooth devices like the wii classic controllers for emulators. I'm with you, I'm in atlanta where 4g is strong, I take pictures and hd videos all the time so I stay away from"experimental" roms. So far I haven't seen a rom with "sense" unbroken 4g/cam/camcorder. A lot of people trade stability for speed/power.

One thing I've been doing lately is kind of putting together my setup a la carte through mod releases. Keep asking questions here as well as in the threads of potential roms and a developer might implement what you're looking for.

Thanks for the replies, and I actually feel better that my take on things is close to the mark.

I love this phone and so far have been 100% happy with it (ha..especially now that I have root and can install what I want to suit my own ends! Thanks again people :)

I'm still a bit concerned about what I've read that even if you have root now, the latest OTA can -not- be rooted yet, i.e. don't update with the Froyo 2.2 OTA or you loose it all. Is this correct? I did see the response that once I have unRevoked-Forever on my phone that I can update to any OTA...but I seem to think that may not be accurate.

Thanks,

[General Topics] rrrrramos:
I just recently joined the Android family, and I'm looking for a secondary device to pretty much use as a testing device. I've got myself a Samsung Captivate, and already went through one close call, so I'd like to have something that isn't my main method of contact to learn the ropes. I'm not looking for something like an N1 (though I'd love that, I can't spare that right now)

I was looking at stuff like the HTC Hero, the G1, Droid Eris. Something along those lines (and within that price range). Obviously it makes no difference if it will work on AT&T, I plan to just use it on WiFi. Any thoughts on other phones that would fit what I'm looking at now? Also, a good development community would be more or less required as I'd be using the phone as a testing ground for anything I'd be doing to my Galaxy S. Thanks!
