Never had any issues with GPS. If you have downloaded quickGPS data, it takes in matter of seconds (about 20) coldstart, hotstart is pretty much immediate. Without quickgps it is in terms of minutes, usually about 5 mins tops for coldstart. Hotstart is, depending on how far are you since you last time used GPS and how long is it, matter of seconds.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] _7_:
Hi there,

I used to have the same problem and I tried almost everything. I used different GPS tweaks which can be found in this forum like "turboGPS" but these would never work that well for me.

I found a great solution yesterday right here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=571266

Install the "GpsModDriver_320.CAB", follow the instructions, softreset, start the program you just installed and watch your device find the sattelites within seconds.

Just read the instructions in the link attached above.

have fun!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
This should really be in the General forum, it's not a ROM development issue (or you could check in the specific thread for your ROM if it's a custom one, in case anyone else has GPS issues).

it works! i love you guys!

Ok so I I've been wondering what was killing my battery. Set it up weeks back and thought all was fine.

My phone trys to sync like every min but fails.

What gives? I turned sync off but it still tries.
[Captivate General] 69Pwned:
Mine is doing this also. WTF ......... :mad:
[Captivate General] SPE926:
how/where do you find this menu option?

Contacts-menu-more-settings-att	address book ' log....
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
This is one of those things that really pisses me off. I don't mind that the manufacturers add this stuff - but let us turn it off.

If i am syncing gmail and exchange, i don't need AT&T address book sync. Some people may use it, but let those of us that don't use it, turn it off.
[Captivate General] InsaneJester17:
When I set my phone up first time it asked if I wanted to use AT&T backup. Since I was already using google for contacts, I said nothankyou.jpg. But there has to be a way to turn it off.
[Captivate General] nickbarbs:
This ATT Address book keeps coming up for me too randomly. I'd like to disable it.. but how...
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
going into address book setting att address book I see a check box for turning off online sync. Does that not work?
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
Yes it seems it will shut it off but only after a complete sync. I checked it to off 1 day prior to pic I posted. Last night at 3 am it completed and had not sync since.

So it seems it will stay on and try to complete intill it does it sucessfully.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I have no access to this log as i declined when it asked if i wanted to setup address book sync. So I will assume that mine is not running since i never accepted the terms.
[Captivate General] movrshakr:
I know this is an old thread but I don't want to start a new one on the same topic...

was there ever any resolution to this ATT Address Book Sync issue?

My Captivate will not sync.

I turn off the auto-sync, go back into it and it is on again.

It does not show as a task that can be killed in Adv Task Killer.

Log shows nothing but repeated fails sometimes 3 min apart, sometimes 15.

This thing is using up battery and, I presume, data, and I cannot shut it off.

I am one really unhappy camper now, being unable to even shut it down.

(Got started here into the ATT app because contacts would not sync up to google--I need a backup somewhere. Seems neither works on Captivate 2.1)

what is the diffrence between 512 anf 513 pit files.. I flashed JP3 with 512 was I correct or should I have used 513
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebazman:
if its working then dont worry m8

if you use the same pit file all the time you dont hav to repartition when you change pit file you repartition

regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Just use 512 for everything.. 513 doesn't seem to work for late builds
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rain_1:
513 doesn't work, but it's still good to have around.

I wanted to flash JM1 and, for some reason, odin wasn't flashing it, no matter what. I tried ticking the "re-partition" option (with 512.pit) and odin was just waiting there, never actually re-partitioning the phone.

So I flashed the firmware with 513.pit (which obviously didn't work, but odin re-partitioned). Then, I re-flashed with 512.pit this time and odin re-partitioned it properly.

Always good to have alternatives laying around.
[General Accessories] bigdavedaniels:
i love my phone. but every where i go its like everyone asks you actually like that phone? are you having any problems with it? yes i am but my laptop gives me the same amount of problems. so, i go and get a cover for my phone. i like it too. the front part comes apart sometimes . when i get sick of fixing it i get a new one under warranty. i got it a few months ago originally. so i go to get it warrantied again. discontinued. how am i supposed to take advantage of the one year warranty? all i want is aphone coover. you know, the kind that snaps onto the phone itself. any help would be great. oh by the way, that official rom update is great. thanks.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimeslunk:
I originally posted this in the Q/A section but no one seemed to have any reasonable answer.

Is it possible to partition my SD card so I can have baked snack on 1 half and CM6 on the other with all their user options ect.... saved to that respective side of the card? I'm not really wanting a true dual boot here but I would like to maybe nand backup my backed snack save it to backed snack's partition. Then flash cm6 and kernel ect.. and already have all my apps settings in place. Or maybe even partition the internal mem so we could have a true dual boot. Is it possible to partition the internal mem and perhaps mess around with the boot loader in order choose which partition you will be booting from?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Did you try using both NAND and Titanium backups? If you make two backups, one for each ROM, you should be able to recover everything fairly easily when you want to go back and forth.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharkUW:
I suppose it would be possible. Stuff would load pretty slow though and you'd have to manually create such a setup. I haven't looked at the bootstrapping, but I can't think of any reason you couldn't mount the data heavy positions from the sdcard. Not easy by most people though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricersniper:
i asked for this a few months back and was told to just use rom manager. make backups of both roms and just use that to go between them. dual booting isnt possible with our boot loader.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJDuckett:
OP, without getting too "techy", what's being overlooked is the fact that you'd have to get into the BIOS itself end change where it loads the os from for it to work.

Also, in theory, with the os running from the SD card, things like mounting the phone as a disk drive would be impossible without turning the phone off, and that would just suck...

It's a cool idea, but I think having everything draw from.one source would make it lag like hell even, so I dunno.... I don't really get your reasoning behind switching between different roms on a constant basis, but I'd think about the cons too

All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharkUW:
Sure, but what if they shared the initrd and that was what promoted for the selection?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
I did this with my tp2 had winnow and android on. Had Haret.exe worked great just used a explorer to SD card clicked and loaded up. Also had dual bootup at startup. Picked which rom I wanted to run. Was indeed nice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
Not to get off op topic but how do you get rid off the nand backups on the phone. Have a few on roms I don't use anymore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
you can get rid of backups a few ways if you use rom manager you can just go to manage and retore roms long clikc it and select delete. if you dont use rom manager youc an set your device to disck drive while hooked up tot he pc and manually navigate to the back up and delete it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylelerner:
In reality, you could make as many NAND backups as you want, and restore any of of them from recovery whenever you want!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uniquenameevo:
Would you not need to constantly update the nand backups?

Also...if I were to do this with say CM6 and something else...would I have 4G issues from flipping back and forth? I know CM6 doesn't have 4G and want to make sure it's just missing, not that it messed with the radio.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimeslunk:
Alrigh then I guess I'll just give up on this and do it the old fashion way with band and titanium back ups. Am I going to need the full version of titanium for this? Will it make the whole process alot quicker?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
FOR SAMSUNG VIBRANT (SGH-T959)

USE WITH OTHER GALAXY S MODELS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

CURRENTLY TWO VERSIONS. 1.1 IS FOR JFD-BASED FIRMWARE WHILE 1.2 IS FOR JI6-BASED FIRMWARE. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CORRECT VERSION!

UPDATE

This update is to make this theme compatible with the new JI6 firmware and ROMs based on it (such as Bionix 1.6 and above). There are no changes or additions to how the theme looks as of yet. It should appear identical to version 1.1 running on JFD-based firmware. Also, I have decided to remove the black-to-stock reversion theme as it seems to be causing more problems than it is solving due to compatibility issues with other firmware and other Galaxy S models. If you wish to return to stock, please either restore a NAND backup or use/create a stock TouchWIZ MetaMorph theme that is designed to work with your current firmware on your device.

AllBlack v1.2

This theme gives your notification bar and pull-down notification menu a sleek, minimalistic flat black look. Not only does this theme give your Galaxy S phone a clean dark look, but it also helps you save on precious battery power since black areas of the screen require zero power due to the active matrix nature of Samsung's Super AMOLED display.

I have made two versions available, one with my own custom notification icons (the same ones included in my ClearBar theme), and one without any notification icons so you can keep the same icons you have already been using.

This is a MetaMorph theme, so you will need to install MetaMorph from the Market and use it to apply this theme.

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE APPLYING THIS THEME!

ClockworkMod Recovery is available for Galaxy S phones through the ROM Manager which is available in the Market. If you have not already, please install ROM Manager in order to flash ClockworkMod Recovery (completely safe) and create a nandroid backup before applying this theme. I am not responsible for any issues this theme causes. It works perfectly fine on my Vibrant, but no two phones are alike so your experience my differ.

Be sure to turn USB Debugging on before applying. For some reason, having debugging disabled causes MetaMorph to hang when applying the theme.

Feel free modify or incorporate this theme in part or whole in your own projects. I only ask that you give me some credit if you redistribute my work.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] boobalooby:
applied both versions of this theme, however the dropdown notification background stayed the same default color (light greyish) both times and after a reboot. any ideas?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] LovellKid:
This is incredible.. black is my favorite color and I LOVE this theme. Only thing I would change is use the arrow with a line under it for downloads isntead of that box. Freaking awesome. Thanks tricorder!

Had to revert the "Droid in dropdown" theme for it to apply fully, where as when I applied on top of it only themed the top notification bar.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cdw9800:
applied only changed the bar not the pull down but still looks good

edit: a 2 reboots got it to show nice work just what i was looking for
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] boobalooby:
i was just going to say the same thing. rebooted, reapplied, rebooted and then it started soft-rebooting itself 5 or 6x. Finally it let me back to the homescreen and everything seems to be ok.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rexrbgh:
It worked perfect fine for me coming off your Clearbar notification theme...

Sent from my Ungodly sleek, stylish, powerful, and sexy Vibrant...It reminds me of myself
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
I was having the same problem everyone else is having with getting the pull-down notification list to change properly when I was making this and testing it out. The best solution I found for when this happens is to go back into MetaMorph, only apply twframwork-res.apk from this theme, and then reboot. I don't know what causes this, and didn't have the same problem when I was making ClearBar.

I'm actually pretty fond of my animated downloads icon. I really like the whole "arrows of data going down into the phone" effect that I made. If you don't like it, you're perfectly free to use different icons or make your own. Just open up the zip file and navigate to framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi and replace the icons you want to change. No resigning or anything like that is required for this to work in MetaMorph.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] LovellKid:
No dissin tricorder lol.. you made my phone awesome. Thanks...

White stuff?

can we get a theme with white for the notifications text? I want brilliant white instead of dim colors... not hatin or anything!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DaSmittyman:
i don't know if anyone else is having troubles but when i do this is messes up my market to the point i cannot access it. Any ideas?

+1 on the white text :) and I never had any problems with my market..

Lovellkid
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
I don't know what file I need to edit to make the text white, or just how easy it is to make it work. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jonnybueno:
status_bar_expanded.xml in twframework-res.apk/res/layout
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
Thanks. What editor would you recommend using to edit this file? I used Open XML Editor to make the XML file for MetaMorph, but it won't open this file.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jonnybueno:
Use hxd. Search for 0800001C and then edit the following 8 digits (BGRA).

Here's a good guide to get you started: http://www.jbthemes.com/AndroidThemeingGuide/The Ultimate Android Themeing Guide.pdf

Or you could just yank it out of my theme if you're short on time
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
Thanks again. I'll look over this and learn to do this the right way instead of yanking it out of your theme, but thanks for offering.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jayzusfk:
Tricorder, look for AXMLPrinter2.jar on the forums. It can convert binary xml to text xml.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] boobalooby:
tried to revert back to stock...it just hung on the 'applying' screen forever. rebooted, tried again, etc. let it run on 'applying' for 2 hours before giving up. stuck with the allblack theme now and although i'm not sure (haven't been able to isolate it) i think it is causing some lag issues. but this may be unrelated.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
I really don't see how it could be causing lag. All it does is change some png files.

Also, double-check to make sure you still have usb debugging enabled. That seems to be the primary cause for MetaMorph hanging when applying themes. I've used my black-to-stock theme to revert a few times with no problems, although it doesn't always seem to apply the stock images from twframework-res on the first try, but the second try and a reboot always seems to work.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
I'm working on a new release of this. I've eliminated the white background for the music controls in the pull-down notification menu and started changing some of the text to white to show up better. Does anyone have any suggestions for some other changes?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] skater991:
make sure to correct the market fonts notifications...when will you be done?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] :
hmmm enabling or disabling debugging mode made no difference for me...still unable to revert back to stock. gonna try to redownload the package again and reinstall. maybe something got corrupted along the way?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] LovellKid:
I cant believe people aren't all over this morph. Its awesome... I have a few, all white text as mentioned above. And white text/white icons for the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Sound, even when turned on (currently turns blue). And then I kinda noticed the yellow is a different shade then normal.. I think everything is sweet. I love the greyish look to the icons, LOVE the black.. Cant wait to see then next release :)

Edit:Yellow for the low battery indicator
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
hopefully this is just a short-sighted post and not a demand. as an intense student and casual poster of XDA's forums, I have dabbled in themes slightly, and currently am supporting a Swype metamorph thread. I just want to say that this is the epitome of the things that not only developers, but even us small people that make minor modifications, hate to see. We are working for free on this stuff, and occasionally we get a donation thrown our way. I don't pander for money, I don't do that much to deserve it anyhow. But I do think some respect and patience is in order for a product that is free, updated a million times faster than ANYTHING stock Android, and can be discussed constantly and with understanding by the members that are reading it.

Just my .02

-Hoey
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
Thanks for the suggestions. Hoey2011, don't be so hard on skater991. I didn't think he was coming across as demanding. Also, I'm not sure what's wrong with the market fonts notifications (or even exactly what that's referring to).

Upcoming changes so far:

-Eliminated white background for music controls in the pull-down notification menu

-Changed the toggle button "off" from white to grey and "on" from blue to white

-Working on tracking down all of the hex values for the text in the pull-down notification menu to change it all to white and maybe lighter grey for minor text.

I'm also working on changing the blue pop-up dialog boxes to black, but I need to spend some time on properly editing .9 png files before that will be ready. Even though I've been around android for a while and have dabbled with some light modding from time to time, this is still pretty new to me.

Also, I'm not using this theme regularly on my phone, so I may not catch some things that come up during normal use. Any help on catching things that need to be changed is appreciated.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] christpuncher:
would this work if i were to throw this on top of the black gloss theme? no offense to that theme/themer, but this drop down is more my style.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] escostyle1:
Mr_Tricorder.....Thank you so much for this....I installed the all black w/ your icons had to reboot twice to get the entire pulled down window black. I look foward to your next theme on changing the text message dialog boxes...The blue should be like a real dark grey and the incoming (green) should be a light shade grey....this will look awesome.

It looks like most people in here prefere these shades of grey and the blacks for their phone interface. Please look into changing the dialer two...Thanks again we really do appreciate your work.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] escostyle1:
Mr_Tricorder, Any chance you can change the color of the blue texts on the "all black" pulldown bar to grey....thanks in advance!!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
Ok, I see what you mean now about the market notification text. I'll see if I can figure out how to change it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] talltexan:
@Mr_Tricorder Great Job! Any thoughts about possibly going with a all white one ? With football season coming up , and doing the white paint mod to my spare case would be great to have a white status bar as well.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jonnybueno:
If you guys are talking about what I think you are, then you wanna check out downloadprovider.apk. there's one xml that controls text color when downloading.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
I made a vanilla bar morph but I couldn't figure out how to change the clock color to black... I would love to see that finished if anyone wants to pick it up...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] talltexan:
If i tell him why i want it he might not make it :( he does live in college station(I want it for my "longhorn phone") Also white is just cleaner looking.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr_Tricorder:
AHA! So the truth comes out! ;)

You guessed right. I'm an Aggie. That's not going to keep me from making an all-white theme though. However, what is going to keep me from making one is the fact that I have no interest in making an all-white theme. I don't think it's very good on the eyes and it would increase battery drain. Sorry man.

EDIT: Ok, so I think I've changed the text for download notifications to white (haven't tested it yet) (Second Edit: I just tested this and I don't get the "downloading" notification in the list at all anymore. I guess I have more work to do). Thank you very much, jonnybueno, for pointing me in the right direction for that one. I've changed the text for notification categories to white, but I'm having trouble finding the values for the notifications themselves to change them to white. Also, I'm still looking for the values for the text under the toggle buttons. Does anyone know where I can find those two things?
