Enabling Network-Based Location (cell/WiFi location info) actually can prolong GPS fixes. I'm leaving it off for now.
[Vibrant Android Development] dcchristopher:
Very disappointed ... GPS didn't work for me in this version either ... it got the initial lock fairly quickly but then it kept jumping around. This is absolutely grounds for a class action lawsuit. Nothing like being on course and having the GPS blurt out "In 50 feet, turn around" because it got lost and is erroneously re-routing. What a joke. Also, I can no longer access *#*#1472365#*#* so I can't check/correct the settings. It clears the code from the dialer but doesn't launch the LBS test app.

Other than that, the phone is largely the same. Any placebo effect is mainly perceptible due to the phone having a clean slate (me thinks). I did like the addition of the voice input for the keyboard and search. Honestly though, I haven't even tested it.

Ran GPS for six hours today no issues...

I drive 3,000 to 5,000 miles a month or more. Normally I use a dedicated GPS. I have gotten spoiled using Android phones to Navigate as I can click on an entry in my calendar (also why I had to reinstall the stock calendar) to navigate instead of punching in an address into a clunky GPS. All that to say, I really get a lot of use out of my GPS. I drove over 400 miles today. The GPS lost signal sporadically but locked back in right away. The phone did not freeze while using the GPS. These were issues I had prior to the fix.

All that being said, the RFS file system still sucks. The phone felt more responsive using the JAC OC 4 kernel and a dedicated EXT-4 partition on a class 6 card. The phone is still laggy - at least for me. Yeah it still kicks the crap out of my pathetically underpowered MyTouch but it should be able to do more. I would recommend this fix to anyone that hasn't applied a working EXT-4 lagfix or really needs GPS. I don't think anyone should install this looking solely for performance enhancements.

[Vibrant Android Development] Relikk356:
After almost 24 hours and some adjustment I've got this ROM working pretty good. At first I actually noticed more lag then the original Rom. Even after I un-installed the typical bloat-ware (except Mediahub) it still seemed laggy. So, I went a little crazy and just started getting rid of everything. I removed the new task-manager; still laggy. Ultimately I broke down and deleted TouchWiz. I've never had an issue with TouchWiz in the original Rom. It was always snappy for me. For some reason or another in this new version it "slows up" on wake (especially if i'm playing mp3's), and when I go to and from the app drawer. I'm not sure if that fading transition is new or it just slowed down enough for me to notice it. I'm now using Launcher Pro and my phone is running great thus far.

* Huge GPS improvement

* Decent Radio (3G) signal Improvement

* Better A2DP quality for Streaming BT Audio (This might just be in my mind as

no one else has commented on that yet)

* MediaHub (At least the previews are fun to watch, and look HD quality)

* Text by Talking (This feature is cool. Also sorta of funny. Why not just make the phone call?)

Has anyone else tried the nandroid. I flashed the stock nandroid from Eugene first then this new one. It booted up when I flashed the original nandroid, but once I flashed the new build, it just sits there at the Vibrant screen.
[Vibrant Android Development] rbcamping:
the night shots with the camera not longer work correctly. Oh well anyone else check this out?
[Vibrant Android Development] mp2ning:
It doesn't work. After I flashed the JI2 using Odin I tried going back to JFD using Nandroid and didn't work. It sat at the Vibrant screen same way as you!

On another note:

I was having trouble maintaining a stable Wifi connection at work using 802.1x on the stock ROM, deodexed ROM and Eugenes ROM but with JI2 installed I connected at first try and worked flawlessly throughout the day! I think there is improvement there too. Off course that is MY opinion!!!

Nandroid isn't really going to work b/c of the diff kernel etc..

Bricked

I know, this is probably due to something stupid I did, but I thought I'd put this out there anyway.

Downloaded these files, MD5 was correct, flashed with Odin and hung on Modem.bin for 5 hrs. I finally unpluged and tried again: same thing. Took out my battery and now I've got the phone-somthing's wrong symbol-computer screen of death. Not sure what happened as I've flashed with Odin before. FWIW.

EDIT: I finally was able to get into download mode with the vol-+&Pwr, flashed original tar and 512.pit. Not sure what I did this morning that was different from yesterday, but I'm glad I kept trying.
[Vibrant Android Development] lp894:
My night shots work fine....I just did a test:
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
Thats cause the kernels are different. And when you flash a nandroid it keeps your previous kernel on the phone. If you went back into download mode and just flashed the new kernel it would boot up.
[Vibrant Android Development] rbcamping:
Thats strange the difference I get on my camera settings is almost nothing. Any suggestions?

one more thing, if you are using TW, and you go to the app menu, and hit menu-->list type you can change it to customizable grid which will allow you to put apps where ever you want.....even if a screen isn't full of apps. For ex...I had a screen for games, one for utilities, one for office related apps, one for misc, and one for social networking.....none of those pages were full of apps....and you can have up to six pages by default and im assuming more if you have more than 6 pgs worth of apps
[Vibrant Android Development] asatnik11:
What is your hypothesis on what's causing the inability to use the hardware buttons to enter download/recovery? I find it hard to believe it is an actual hardware issue but flashing to stock with ODIN doesn't fix it.

I can tell you that ODIN flashing MS_GURU's 'stock' build does not fix it nor does flashing eugene373's stock build. My hardware buttons are still locked out for entering download/recovery mode. At least my foolishness didn't result in a brick.

I'll be calling T-Mobile today to request a replacement phone since I am within the 14-day return period. Hopefully I will get one that isn't hardware-locked.
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
Well really it was a series of events that happend to my phone. I flashed a GT i9000 rom to my phone once and it locked access to bootloader and recovery I could only access with adb. So I reflashed eugenes one package stock with odin but I still had the GT i9000 boot screen and was locked out of recovery/boatloader still. So I flashed ms_gurus files to get ride of the bootup witch fixed my bootloader/recovery issue and from there I flashed eugenes one package and my phones fixed. I can access every time now no problem.

Im trying to see if for some reason this will also fix other phones that cant access there's . A hypothesis this is.

It was always more than sufficient to me ... I did have an odd feeling it was better (more crystal clear) this time around but it could have just been me. I never had (perceptible) issues with clarity, distortion, etc. I have used a Sony BT transceiver and a Miccus BluBridge mini-jack Rx and they both sounded great. The latter is by far my favorite for many reasons.

Not TMO customer

So I'm not a TMO customer. I bought SGS in the USA and brought it with me to Brazil, unlocked the network and rooted the phone.

Until now, everything is OK.

My question is: will I be able to update it to Froyo through TMO OTA service? Or will it check if my SIM is a TMO account?

I ask this because if OTA won't be available for me because I'm not TMO, then I'll just flash it with this ROM. :-)

I got tired of the lagginess of the new firmware and the small benefit that it brought with it. I tried to Nandroid back and of course got stuck at the Vibrant screen. I could have Odin'ed back to stock but I decided to the give the lag fix here a try http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765822. I followed the directions verbatim and everything is working great.

No its not.

FroYo also brings more system-level optimizations.

FroYo brings adone Flash.

FroYo brings C2DM - enjoy ur crappy IM apps that drain bettery cause Eclair doesn't support Push?

Some App Developers are starting to abandon 2.1 in one form or another.

Sounds pretty ignorant to make that statement. If I felt that wat I would have saved money and gotten a cheaper 2.1 device that just worked from day one.
[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
I agree, but I also see where the person you commented to is coming from. At the end of the day these are just tools. Though I'm as anxious for 2.2 as the next guy I'm quite happy with the state of my phone atm with the latest 2.1 leak.

There's a time to zealously tinker, and then there's a time to stick it in your pocket and just let it be a phone. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] zoid_99:
This doesn't seem to fix my GPS. It does show it locking into a lot more sats but the accuracy is still way off. Here's a sample mytracks from my drive to the office this morning. Zoom in and notice how the accuracy is way off.

If I want to format my sd after installing the firmware to have a brand brand new phone pretty much how would I do it?
[Vibrant Android Development] boomerbubba:
I'm trying to figure out why the accuracy of your track is bad but there are other reported test tracks with very good accuracy.

Can I ask what the GPS configuration settings of your Vibrant are, such as Standalone | MS Based | MS Assisted, and the various SUPL server settings?
[Vibrant Android Development] zoid_99:
It is whatever the stock settings are for the ROM as the *#*#1472365#*#* doesn't seem to work on this rom. Do you know of a another way to launch LbsTestMode?
[Vibrant Android Development] boomerbubba:
Try the workaround described in another forum. For this you do need to install Launcher Pro, at least temporarily.
[Vibrant Android Development] zoid_99:
Very cool! I'll have to remember that trick.

Here are the settings:

Session Type: Tracking

Test Mode(S/W or H/W):S/W Test

Operation Mode: Standalone

Start Mode: Hot Start

GPS Plus: ON

Dynamic Accuracy: ON

Accuracy: 50

Use SkyHook: OFF

Use PC Tool: OFF
[Vibrant Android Development] tjsynkral:
Is that a no, in response to my question, then?
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
Sure it's not.
[Vibrant Android Development] boomerbubba:
Thanks. What are the SUPL server settings (URL, port number, SSL on/off)?
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
Everything is exactly the same
[Vibrant Android Development] boomerbubba:
Although you haven't told us the SUPL server settings, they are probably not relevant because you were in Standalone mode.

One difference that may be significant between your test and another test of the new ROM, which had very good tracking accuracy, is that the other test was run in MS Based mode (SUPL settings and others stock). I'm not sure why that would affect anything other than the time of initial lock, but perhaps that mode helps recover more quickly if the GPS does lose lock.

BTW, at the point where you started your track in My Tracks, did you check GPS Test or GPS Status to ensure you were starting with a good fix? If the locking behavior goes bad after a day or two of working well, that would be consistent with behavior reported in the new Sprint Epics and Verizon Fascinates -- which presumably had Samsung's purported GPS fixes installed before they shipped. In their case, it generally has taken a reboot to get locking working again. But I am not sure this new Vibrant ROM fits that pattern.

In any case, we would not expect accuracy to be good if the locking is flakey.
[Vibrant Android Development] ultra spikey:
Are there any MyTracks tracks in any of these threads that have good accuracy? Tracks that have been done AFTER the GPS fix or new firmware? I havnt seen any yet...
[Vibrant Android Development] boomerbubba:
See this thread in another forum. He has been testing the full ROM. I find his track, compared to the Droid track, to be very accurate when I zoom in close.

This tester also has experimented with different GPS configuration settings to see how they affect locking behavior. So far the best config seems to be setting MS Based mode and leaving other settings stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] zoid_99:
Wow.. that is much better than my full ROM mytracks. I'm starting to think that my GPS is flawed. To answer your earlier question, yes I had 8/10 sats locked using GPS Status before I started the MyTrack. This was from a fresh install last night.I guess I will wait until the official fix comes out and if it still acts like this I will return it for another one. I wouldn't care that much but I would really like to use BuddyRunner but it is not accurate enough to do that. Bummer....
[Vibrant Android Development] N8ter:
Let it be a phone? Like a free on contract flip phone? I brought a smartphone that people on forums like this were hyping without limits, and it doesn't work properly - or have performance on par with the hardware without performing warranty-voidimg hacks.

Don't care about tinkering this fragmented OS. I just want my device to work as advertised, and whether or not someone is tired of hearing that doesn't matter to me /shrugs/

But I give up. Gomna just ETF the T-Mobile contract and go back to AT&T when WP7 launches.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
FroYo is a minor update regardless. Flash ran so poorly in the browser on a DROID that it was best left off. Besides having some minor enhancements I'm not anxious to see what a FroYo update will break. I'm super happy with the updated 2.1 software we have. See ya.

[Vibrant Android Development] merlino211:
This may come as a shocking revelation... But isn't 2.1 "that acts like froyo" still, at the end of the day, eclair?

Are we really that desperate that we'll take a "fake froyo" and call it a godsend, thinking we're moving forward? I have an honest prediction on how these Vibrants we all felt duped into buying will play out: Samsung will abandon them, like all devices. They already showed lack of interest by "working on" a GPS fix but never delivering a patch... Something that people have otherwise done simply by rooting their phone and... CHANGING TWO SETTINGS. Now, if this is too complex for Samsung... I really don't think we'll EVER see a functional froyo on it....

and then theres Cyanogen... Everyones waiting for it. The developers in charge of the Vibrant seem more lost than the freed slaves of Egypt as they followed Moses. One day, we hear theres a flashable alpha, the next this never existed... Then suddenly a dev changes, and suddenly silence.... Then again theres an imaginary alpha that disappears like Samantha, Fox Moulders fabled sister of the X-files.....

Can we just call this device crap, throw our hands up, quit, and buy some G2's?

Also, this is Samsung's biggest phone EVER, they have sold millions world-wide, as the phone was released on almost every carrier available. They certainly would have a lot more pressure if the pulled a "Behold" fiasco again, not to mention there is a class action lawsuit being started by the Behold folks.
