[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popopow:
Is my english that bad ? My GPS problem started to occur with RC2 ! then i installed RC3. And they started right after dissambling my phone, not after any kernel / rom / radio / software change.

Like victorhooi said, GPS test program (or any gps diagnostic) is giving me no signal.

No matter i dissambled it or not, my phone is not under warranty, I got it offered at a google conférence.

I guess i'll have to live with only 3G location until a new phone will make me want to leave my N1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KDKobes:
most likely if the gps is showing "on" as you stated in post 1 then the gps isn't "broken", but most likely a loose connection. Some problems are solved flashing back to factory rom. If the gps was broken it wouldn't activate.

Hi,

flashed modaco r21 with stock froyo kernel, did what's told in the previous post (in fast, it was already like this). Still no GPS. GPS Test shows me no satellite.

I tell you, it's inside the phone. Maybe something is really broken, maybe just not connecte something correctly. But i want to know where to look before opening it again.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f00dstamps:
I'm having problems with my GPS too. I remember that it used to work well with FRF91. I still have locked bootloader and I rooted yet. Most of the time, it takes me a while to get a GPS lock, 5-10 minutes. Sometimes, it never gets a lock. Any ideas?

Update: I fixed my problem with the link in post#11.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irieone:
Hi all, I have looked everywhere and cannot find a fix for my issue.

The light on my phone will illuminate green (full charge) yet my battery widget and battery stats show 92%. How do I get these to match? Which is correct? I have tried resetting my battery stats in the recovery menu and still cannot get the readings to sync.

Running kaosfroyov30 if it matters......

Thanks!

Ron
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrozga:
Batt light will show full charge until its lower than 90%.

You can wipe batt stats from recovery when phone is 0% connect charger power on in recovery mode wipe stats when batt is at 0%. This will reset your batt so the phone knows truely what its charged to.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DS36:
actually android 2.2 roms when you hit 90% it will show a full charge

it is normal
[Epic 4G General] kaotikevo:
Take a look at this: http://www. laptopmag.com/review/cell-phones/samsung-epic-4g.aspx?mode=benchmarks&cids=2214,2290,pa

Go to that page and add the other Galaxy S variants to the comparison charts and check the FileSystem benchmarks. As you will see, The Epic 4G beats the other phones 5+ times over, and even destroys the EVO 4G's score by a little over 4 times. This is great news for those of us concerned about the lower ROM capacity!
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
They are missing a lot on those benchmarks. I can't find the nexus one at all, and the linpack benchmarks all seem to be testing android 2.1 phones. I think what people are afraid of with this phone is that the JIT compiler works amazingly for Snapdragon processors but not for TI OMAP processors or the Samsung Hummingbird cpu. People are claiming extremely high scores in Linpack with afaik is a cpu benchmark utility. Now All of the Cortex A8 1 ghz processors should have the same performance give or take 5-10% variance. However Snapdragon cpus seem to get 30-50 on linpack with 2.2 on the nexus one and evo 4g, but the droid 2 only gets 13-14, and what few beta or alpha builds of 2,2 have leaked for galaxy s phones they seem to get similar scores. This is what worries people. However I think we need to wait and see why the droid 2 is getting such low scores on 2.2 and see if the official smasung 2.2 build gets similar low scores.

Also that site says that the droid x/2 has the same gpu performance as the epic 4g and on top of that the evo 4g scores less than 10% below them. Last I checked the power vr 530 in the x/2 is half as powerful or less than the 540 in the galaxy s phones and the amd gpu in the snapdragon processors is supposed to be even weaker than the 530. Given this knowledge I have to say those benchmarks are fairly unprofessional.unscientific and useless as they are clearly biased.
[Epic 4G General] kaotikevo:
There's no denying the inaccuracies in the majority of benchmark tests, but the only one I want you to see is the FileSystem benchmarks. Not the cpu or gpu ones. FileSystem measures how fast the storage/memory on the phone is writable and readable. The Galaxy S phones have an issue where out the box all the apps are stored on an internal class 2 SD card, instead of the faster internal NAND memory causing severe lag and even stalls when transitioning between screens. That has been fixed through a hack though, which requires reformatting the file system and 1.5 GB of internal memory which the Epic doesn't have, making a fix impossible for the time being if indeed there is a lag/stall issue on the Epic 4G.

The benchmark for FileSystem, if accuratee, is a sigh of relief, cause it seems like there will be no lagging or stalling between transitions out the box with the Epic 4G. Let's hope This is the case, otherwise it will be a huge deal breaker. The Vibrant can take up to 10 seconds to get back to the home screen from an app when the home icon is pressed. That would really kill the experience if it's present in the Epic 4G and unable to be fixed due to low ROM.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
I don't put much stock in benchmarks, but I believe he was trying to point out just 1 benchmark in particular that shows that the Epic doesn't suffer from the flaw in the Captivate\Vibrant that causes the slowness. It's interesting that the benchmarks didn't include Quadrant... which the Captivate\Vibrant somehow destroy all over phones in without 2.2 post lag fix. I'd be interested to see how the Epic performs out of the box there... but I can wait.
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
My bad I was just tired and didn't realize it was the filesystem speeds that were being pointed out. Though I still question this sites benchmarks and would love to know what software they used for each one.

Does anyone find it odd that the droid 2 and droid x have different filesystem benchmark speeds? I would have assumed they had the same storage and file system. However the droid 2 on 2.2 is showing speeds considerably slower than the droid x in benchmarks for that. It just makes me wonder if it is 2.1 and 2.2 just being wonky, or do these benchmarks possibly have little to no meaning.
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
Nice find. This test has to be running from the internal memory since it scores the same as the droid x with 8 gig internal storage. The epic has less then 500 mb of internal storage so the sd card has to come into play after the internal storage is full. The issue with that is the sd card runs 2 to 3 times slower then the internal memory. My class 6 sd card with ext2 partition scores 1000 and my captivates internal storage with ext2 partition scores 2600. This may never be a issue if you only install limited amount of apps to internal storage and music, video, games and pics to sd card. This is the only thing holding me back from the epic right now since I have a lot of games that I want on the internal storage. I will have to test and see if it even makes a real world difference. If it doesnt make a real world difference then the epic will be my new phone for sure if the gps issue is really fixed.
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
My sources tell me, the quadrant score was 889 on the epic 4g
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
Hmm thats weird. That means the ****ty partitioning that causes the lag is not gone. The captivate gets 900+ with no lag fix. It gets over 2500 with ext2 internal partition lag fix applied. It doesn't really matter for the captivate since there is internal storage ext2 lag fix but that wont work on the epic since it does not have enough internal storage. They will have to use the slower sd card lag fix. I really dont think they changed the way samsung partitions the storage just for the epic but we will see soon enough.
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
or maybe they are adding RFS R/W buffer in their 2.6.32 kernel for FroYo
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
The whole point of this thread is to say that the Epic does not suffer from this problem. Go watch the myriad of videos showing the Epic which proves this.
[Epic 4G General] fkabibil:
Exactly! Its the not the filesystem at all thats causing the lag, its the fact that the other galaxy s phones are using slow sd cards as their internal memory and the Epic is using much faster NAND memory. File system is irrelevant here....

"Conclusions

The Samsung Epic 4G is the fastest Galaxy S phone to hit the market. With Samsung’s latest optimizations, this phone flies. We’d venture to say it is faster than the Google Nexus One, Motorola Droid, Motorola Droid X, or any other competing Android 2.1-sporting device. With Android 2.2 Froyo coming soon this year, this phone will undoubtedly rock the mobile world.

While other Galaxy S phones have forced users to place custom launchers (namely LauncherPro) over TouchWiz, we can say without a doubt that the Epic 4G’s Touchwiz UI runs smooth as butter. So, if you like what Samsung’s done to the user experience, you’ll be able to keep the Touchwiz interface without losing any speed advantage.

This phone won’t need a custom Ext2, Ext3, or Ext4 lag fix come launch time, it is snappy and ready to go right out of the box. Overall, Samsung gets a 10/10 for getting it right with this one. Well done."

The Epic 4g was scoring in the 900's out of the box (picture shows 960) on quadrant. I don't think we'll have lag problems.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidious:
Has anyone ever had any issues with the backlight on the Hero?

Lately, sometimes, when I turn my phone on or something, it's as if there is no screen at all. It stays black, eventhough I know that the OS is running. I've even tried rebooting, taking out the battery, etc... I can tell it's booting normally because it does the little vibrate, and then vibrates once the OS is fully loaded, etc... cept, when this is occuring, I cannot see anyting on the screen. If I tilt it just right, I can JUST BARELY see the outline of a window or something (whatever is up on the screen at that time). Then after dealing with this issue for a couple of minutes, and rebooting a few times, it works itself out.

I'm thinking I'm starting to have some type of hardware failure, but really don't want that, because I'm due to upgrade to the EVO here in about a month and don't want a stupid replacement just so I can go buy a new phone a month later, ya know? Anyway, wondered if anyone has had the issue before and what, if anything, they may know to do to fix it.

Thanks guys!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smstutler:
Yes I get the same issue off and on. I think it has to do with CM6 and the brightness settings. Not sure though.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
For some reason when I flash CM6 it sets the Automatically Adjust Backlight setting to be off. I figured it was just the nature of the rom, so everytime I flash a new one, I go and turn it on in Display settings.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidious:
No man, I'm saying, even when I first turn on my phone, I dont even see the white HTC screen. It's completely black, but vibrates like normal when I press the power button to initially turn it on. It's fukd I'm pretty sure. I can't see a thing on it, not even in recovery. It's completely black, but vibrates at the correct times it should vibrate (when I first press power button to turn on, when the rom initially boots up, etc...)

I'm thinking my hero is dead.... :(

I only had a little less than a month to go before I could get an EVO too.... damn phone.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
Have you done any damage to it? Sprint might replace it for free.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidious:
Nope, I didn't do anything to it... unfortunately, I'm stuck with CM6 installed on it, because I can't see it to be able to switch back to the stock ruu... LoL

so I hope they don't notice and then say, well, too bad, u'r screwed because u rooted u'r phone. But no, my phone is still immaculate except the 'End' key is chipping off (the paint). That's about it

I'm hoping maybe they'll let me just upgrade to the EVO since I'm due in about a month anyway. I doubt it, but even if they give me a replacement (a new one) then I'd be okay with that.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidious:
Welp, they ended up replacing my phone with a replacement (refurbed) Hero... I pretty sure this one is 99% new though, not a single problem aesthetically and it seems to be running froyo quite smoothly. It basically feels like a brand new phone (which according to Sprint Reps, there's an 80% chance of getting a new replacement and 20% chance of getting a used replacement). I'm thinking I'm in the 80% range ;)

Very happy thus far... just my touch screen is a little quirky right now b/c I installed a clear screen protector and believe some of the moisture is interfering with touches... which has been getting better as the hours go on. So that's' good!

Thanks guys on the info.... It's just fine for getting me through until Sept. 15th so I can upgrade meself on the EVO!!!! :)

We shall see if it holds up until then :D

Take ya'lls and thanks for all the replies

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djou:
Hi All, I just had a question about bluetooth gps receivers.

I read awhile back that the Android OS's bluetooth stack was not equipped to handle serial port protocol connections over bluetooth which is what you need for a external bluetooth gps receiver. Just wondering if any of the new ROMs (2.1 or 2.2) have looked into implementing this? or if there's already an app out there.

i've looked and seems all the apps i found on market seem to be just data logging and doesn't allow you to replace the internal gps functionality.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
this is a pretty good question. I have not seen anything about this mentioned on any rom. I would lean towards no but since i dont know for sure i figured i would help bump the thread hoping someone who knows for sure can shed some light

[Captivate General] chase10784:
ok let me start off by saying i really enjoy the phone for the most part however i am experiencing some issues i was wondering if others are having problems with it and are there fixes coming for these problems

1. Gps is crappy - i know this is a known issues and there is a fix coming so not a big deal (hopefully the final version of the fix works tho)

2. I am using the android keyboard and there is serious lag in it. It has an extremely hard time keeping up with my typing like when i need to type a word with a double letter like "message" for instance. Fix coming?

3. Opening apps is laggy which i am sure froyo will help address

4. The capacitive buttons on the bottom of the phone dont always register and i have to continually tap them to get them to register.

5. from the app menu the back button wont go back to the home screen. i could have swore it used to but wont now....maybe it never did and i just didnt realize it.

So is there any way to fix these problems or am i just stuck with them for now at least?
[Captivate General] KGB ate my bread:
2. why aren't you using the swype keyboard? it's way better/faster.

3. the apps are slow to load because of the way the device reads data from the file system on the internal sd card

5. you can install launcher pro; using it, when you hit back at the apps screen it takes you back to your home screen. I think it's better than touchwiz
[Captivate General] chase10784:
the reason i dont use the swype keyboard is i had a tough time getting used to it. I mean besides tho, the android keyboard shouldnt be so laggy, you'd think right?

I am assuming loading apps will be fixed....hopefully.

yea i will look into launcher pro, give it a go. I havent tried it yet but i was gonna look into it eventually when i got around to it.

So about the capacitive buttons on the bottom of the phone...is that a problem anyone else is having or could it possibly be my phone? if its my phone i am gonna have to return it but i dont really wanna have to go through the hassle but its so annoying.

Hi, I have recently moved away from windows to ubuntu as i hate the thought of being bound to it.

I often flash ROMs and always use the MTTY format tool before i flash.

I am an avid user of Ubuntu. It seems the major "windows" based phones around here, kind of prohibit users from being Ubuntu capable.

I have recently tried flashing my TP2 from VMware running XP on Ubuntu. I cannot get "task 29" to run from SDcard, and was looking for some MTTY help to send it the command or something.

I run Ubuntu 10.04 on all my machines now, and had found a XP HDD laying around in the past to flash my TP2 to firestorm. I just did not format. My friends TP2 with identical firestorm(he has slightly newer radio and ran task 29 before flashing) runs like lightning to my phones thunder. Don't have windows anywhere now...

Meanwhile the newest firestorm supports MP4's...

Either or, if you could leave me some insight on flashing from mtty in Ubuntu, I'd love to be able to continue flashing.

help me I´m desperate.

I searched the web and this forum and found no clue on how to change the quicklink icon of quickgps.lnk. I managed to changed all icons except that.

The icon shows up in the normal windows startmenue AND in the quicklinks selection menue correct. But as soon as I choosed it from the selection dialogue it shows up the normal icon in the quicklinks!

what I´ve done so far;

- changed the icon with JMWD and CSMI

- cleared the cache with JWMD and AxLor fix remove all qtc.cab

- changed the reg edit for HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\QuickGPS.lnk

- restarted a lot of times

- removed and added the link to the quicklinks

- changed the original icon of the .lnk in the \windows folder

- no cache .bmp in Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher\ for QuickGPS to delete

- created new .lnk from QuickGPS.exe

are there any other possible methods to make this work?
