[P3600 ROM Development] S100200:
Getting closer.

Okay, tray icon problem solved, the HTC X-button 1.5 was the problem. I uninstalled it, now the icons work normally.

BUT:

I've tried HTC Task Manager 2.0 ripped from a Hermes ROM, and it doesn't work at all.

Any ideas,why?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrono:
My evo hates any boot animations that I make, i've attached a boot animation that has absolutely NO reason to fail, yet I get a black screen. All I did was recolor the images, no other changes. If I put a custom image in a boot animation that works, my evo skips right over the image that I put in. Completely custom animation, black screen. Is the attached animation screwed somehow?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SamJamz:
First off, do something more creative than just turning a previous animation gold. Next leave the frame rate at 24 fps. Next, when you zip the file make sure it is zipped as a store... not compressed. Leave the txt file alone. try not to mess with it at all. it has to be a unix file, thats why you need to leave it alone if at all possable.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrono:
I didn't touch the txt, zipped as store, and i turned it orange because it's for an orange base CM6 theme. It still doesn't work, here's the zip that I tried.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
Don't worry about someone trying to tell you what to do as a boot animation. He's just being a troll.

As for your animation, the reason it's ****ing up is BECAUSE you didn't edit the desc.txt properly. That animation has two parts, and the desc. txt calls for both.

Just get an animation with a single part to it, and toss your images in the android dolder, that way you won't have to worry about ****ing up the desc. txt again.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrono:
Why does that animation work before i pulled the images out, modded them, then put them back in and not after? All the images are there in the same folders, names, everything.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
Bc you lied and said you didn't mess with the desc.txt, but you not only did, but screwed it up.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrono:
swear to god I didn't touch it, that's the exact same one that is in the CM6 zip. How is it screwed up and how should it be written?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
I dunno. They're different. Look at them yourself.

Anyways, I'm out - Just do what I said in the above post to fix it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrono:
nope, just side/side them, same file. Anyone with a better reason on why the zip I posted doesn't work instead of "because it doesn't"?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
Desc txt from original-

480 480 24

p 1 10 android

p 1 0 part0

Desc. from your edit:

480 480 30

p 1 1 android

p 0 0 loading

... how the **** are those the same?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrono:
Your still looking at the one that I posted first, I posted another on 1-2 posts later and have been refering to the newer one, figured that was obvious.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Alanmw86:
It wasn't.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrono:
great response, i assumed wrong, now can we get back to trying to figure out why the boot animation doesn't work
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
Honestly no. You posted the original and the one you edited. The text from both were obviously different, thus me saying that you changed it. After you said you didn't, and I showed you the blatant difference in the two files, you responded with soemthing about me "looking at the wrong one"... you posted BOTH for comparison, and that's what I did... compared them.

As for the fix, it's a simple fix. The real problem here, is that people here, including myself, don't really like to help assholes.

Anyways, you and that pompous **** have fun.

There is NO option to install applications from untrusted sources. This means anything on your SD card, downloaded from the web or over your wifi at home WILL NOT WORK. Naturally, you also cannot use the "su" command in terminal.

Therefore, you need to use ADB push in order to get anything done.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruisewd:
Did the same thing to mine. Twice now in fact :P

The first time, factory reset fixed it though I had to re-install everything (thank you titanium backup).

That was caused by un-installing the one-time lag fix app, figuring I didn't need it once it had made the changes. Apparently I did.

The second time (the next day), I achieved the same result trying to re-install the default calendar app (which I over-zealously un-installed removing the samsung bloatware). Factory reset didn't fix that one, currently about to try my first firmware install (going for 2.2 while I am it, 'cos hey, phone doesn't work anyway, right?).

Both times, boots up to S logo, but sits on that animation for a bout 30 seconds, then screen goes black (button menu and back buttons light up if you press them, so the phone is still "on").

i asked this few days ago someone must know something, i finally got out of the windows habit fell in lvoe with android and this issue is reallly getting on my breasts

ok i have been usuing messenger in my pocket for a year no more costly sms and isntant contact with my fiance all day bad news for my employer but it works for me..

so im+on android has the feature to keep 3g connected while screen is of or phone sleeps and so i get my im's with a beep as soon as my girl send me one just how it should be right.. but no other im app works in sleep mode!!!!

im+ devs killed the app fpr everyone on friday night and went home for the weekend...

WHY CANT I FIND AND APP THAT DOES WHAT IM+ DOES AND HOLD DATA ON IN SLEEP MODE, THEN I CAN USE ANY IM APP I WANT RIGHT? I TRIED THOSE PROGRAMS THAT SEND PACKETS EVERY 3 SECODNS AND ALL THAT STILL NO OTHER IM WORKS FOR MORE THAN 1 FEW MINUTES AFTER SCREEN GOES OFF

one more point is data doesnt turn off as soon as screen goes of data remains for a few minutes so is there a way of rooting and changing this time to something like forever or a day..

DATA ON WHEN PHONE IS ASLEEP ANYONE OMFG........

P.S. I SEEN A PHONE WITH DATA ON ALWAYS SETTING IN THE MAIN WIRELESS / NETWORKS SETTINGS, IS THIS PART OF ANDROID 2.2 I HAVNT SEEN IT ON 1.6 OR 2.1 SOMEONE HELP

you should enable background data (although i thought it was enabled on default?). It is in settings -> sync (or something similar, i don't have the phone here right now).

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mitko76:
Hi all,

I am new to the android OS, got my galaxy s a week ago.

I still keep my HD2 and to be honest I may sell the galaxy due to the poor gps reception and keep the hd2 for the next year.

The other thing I do not like is the fact that I cannot program the buttons behaviour.

Any way my question is, is it possible to disable the build in gps and use an external Bluetooth GPS Receiver?

The gps on my hd2 is miles, miles better.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
I dont think its possible in this version of android. There is no way to tell the app to use the external gps instead of the internal one.

All we can hope for is a fix from Samsung.

GPS won't start

Hello, I am experiencing an issue with my phone and I was wondering if anyone knows a solution.

Basically the GPS receiver won't turn on when an application requests it, so it won't get any location information (the gps notification icon doesn't appear at all). This is definitely a software issue, because if you go to the settings menu and keep fiddling with the location settings (gps on<->off, wireless on<->off) at some point it WILL turn on and work correctly (and the gps icon appears), but randomly afterwards it will go back to not starting up again and you have to go back to the settings menu.

Is there a workaround for this? I'm hoping that a firmware update will fix it, but in the meantime is there anything that can be done? (I'd prefer to wait for the official firmware before flashing it).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Not really a fix but Extended Controls can make a switch on your home screen that will flip the gps function on and off, that will save some time if you have to go into that menu a lot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Krillo:
I can confirm the same issue, rumour is that the upcoming firmware is going to improve the GPS a lot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
You can also use the 'Power Control' Widget that comes with the device.

Here you can turn On/Off a number of items, one being GPS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
I had this issue but it's just a case of going into settings and toggling the gps off and on again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Phoenix2000:
Good to know about the GPS on/off switch.

I was always rebooting my phone to get the GPS back to work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] navmanyeah:
There is an option in the secret GPS menu where you can set it to cold start, instead of hot start. Fixed it for me.

Bluetooth External GPS

Hey guys. I wanted to know if we can 'natively' from within Android 2.1 / Samsung Galaxy S use an external bluetooth gps...

In the bluetooth menu I can conenct to the TomTom bluetooth gps module but it can't be paired...

however after some digging I found this app:

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.googoo-android-btgps-AtDE.aspx

It does what it says. I get satellites straight away.

Now one big big problem with this app is that it closes as soon as I try and open another app by pressing the home button or even holding down the home button to switch between apps...

when the app closes it ends the connection between the TomTom bluetooth gps module meaning by the time a satnav app has opened the message box pops up and says 'do you want to enable gps'

why does this app close when you try open another app? No other apps like Asphalt etc close like this...

is there a way to use the external gps?

many thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sjdean:
From my limited understanding, no it's not possible. I don't know why, but Android has been a bit slow on the uptake for Bluetooth.

It's taken to FroYo to actually get Bluetooth Hands Free dialling - we'll see how good Google is in interpreting what you say to it, so far, it hasn't been successful for me on the phone itself let alone Bluetooth.

With regards Bluetooth GPS, I understand that it isn't possible. There would at least have to be some kind of underlying interface to overrule the internal GPS and feed the Bluetooth GPS information into the OS in place.

I want it to be possible, then we wouldn't care so much about broken GPS's.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hvdm57:
Hello

Thanks for your suggestion for a GPS fix

Immediate I can not see the big difference in standard configuration and the change which you refer to.

I still have a unsettled GPS fix when I use Google maps.

However, I think I can see a slight improvement in the Google navigation. Now I remain almost always in the correct lane.

I use (default) I9000XXJF3

I've read that a newer version should resolve the GPS "problem", but is it possible to change the parameters of GPS I9000XXJF3 match the parameters of the new versions. ?

And just one question more.

If I close the GPS from the phone to calculate my position after mobile mast or WIFI.

How do I get it to find my location by WIFI.?

Hope for a response.

Thanks

This fix gives an instant , i mean instant gps fix with a clear sky.

thanks a ton for this.

outside this fix i also had operation mode as ms based and had skyhook on.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BarneyL:
I found this suggested fix a few hours back as well and have been trying it out.

I didn't get much better results from it to start out with but having played the accuracy setting I've found putting this up to 150 seems to make a big difference. Once I made this change GPS Test seems to show that the Galaxy is a bit less picky about the signal strength it needs before making a lock.

I've not gone any further in testing accuracy numbers beyond 5, 20 (the default I believe) 50 and 150. It might be worth trying other values.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] masi0:
I am not sure if 30 meters accuracy is enough?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BarneyL:
I don't actually know what the accuracy number means, it does not appear to be a measurement in meters though.

Thirty meter accuracy isn't great but it's enough for a lot of uses e.g. location based searches.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] masi0:
..but for navigation does not look quite well...:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BarneyL:
It depends on the software which I unfortunately can't comment on for android.

For TomTom on my old windows mobile pda it would be fine as the software is smart enough to make a few assumptions e.g. it locks you on to the nearest road and assumes that you're not then going to teleport over onto any other roads close to you. I assume Copilot and similar do the same.

You're probably right though that it won't be enough for the Google Navigation which doesn't seem to have that kind of thing built in.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fudduf:
just another small report, i was out and about today and used maps 3 times. each time, i got a very accurate "my location" position pretty fast. the arrow which shows what direction i'm facing was also perfect each time.

before i applied this tweak, the arrow was never right and my location was often off by at least a half block.

gps test shows little change still, but as long as maps works for me i don't really care much.

i'm happy enough with this performance until the real firmware fix comes (if ever).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] masi0:
mine test shows 30m accuracy which is i suppose to high value as it lost tracking on the road sometimes. did someone tried changing the accuracy value in the gps hidden settings to the lower number?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
I think that a good navigation algorithm doesn't have too much problems with a little degradation in accuracy so now and then. When I look at the navigation programs I use, I see there is very much prediction used in it. And I don't think those prediction algorithms allow a car to jump 30m backward or forward in 1 sec. That would be an acceleration of 3G :)

BTW I never did any bookkeeping of the accuracy of the gps of my other phones. They just worked, like the Galaxy seems to work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aurelm:
Oh, I forgot. You can just use the power widget, I replaced mine with Gps OnOff because it takes less space in the screen. So you can just use that instead :).

My FW is JG5
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sjdean:
That's it? From default settings, you turn off GPS Plus, and change the accuracy to 150 and leave LbsTestMode on in the background?

Next.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] karakake:
Dynamic Accuracy means it varies the accuracy depending on the signal condition. e.g. even if you set ur accuracy at 10m, sgs will try to go farther if it can't get signal that is strong enough to get your setting
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aurelm:
Well have you tried it exactly like this ? :)

why does disabling this turns the gps off after a couple of minutes ?

I'm asking this because in previous tests I got perfect results without Dynamic accuracy. Just not for long :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] karakake:
I'm not a GPS expert but, IMO, gps chipset inside SGS seems to not hold the signal very well. I'm not saying it can't find/lock satelite but it cannot maintain the connection for some reason that I couldn't figure out. So, I guess in your case if you set dynamic accuracy off, with the fact that the accuracy level cannot go over 150m (because you did so in the setting), and everytime the accuracy level goes beyond 150m, SGS just lost all satelites and try to lock them again until it recovers 150m. However, if you turn on dynamic accuracy, sgs itself changes accuracy level beyond your setting so it won't lose the connection. Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aurelm:
It did not lose the lock, It just shuts down no matter what around the same time, even If I stay still. And dosn't come back, I have to close/open app. So it's a bit strange.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aurelm:
So, after second test, the conclusion.

Nothing else matters except that you have a 5m lock in the first place. Anything else and the lock goes crazy. But when you get a stable 5m precision lock you can walk/drive anywhere at any speed, the lock holds and the precision is maximum. I tried it GPS plus and I got a faster lock. Also tried it with cold start. Again very good.

Keeping the LbsTestMode in the background helps a lot since you can see you have a good signal and then you just fire up the application.

Cheers.

ps: Samsung !!! Where the hell is that fix ?
