Same problem here!

I don't know what the problem is...

I tried to reinstall adfree, but that doesn't help.

Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
You guys could always manually download the hosts file; either by looking it up here on XDA or you might be able to get it using the adfree app (dunno about this because i personally don't use the app)

Regardless of how you get the hosts file, once you have it just replace your older one using estrongs, adb, terminal, root explorer, w/e you want.

Nexus One Wiki

Flashing custom ROMs
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goblinlord:
The procedures are the same as any other so follow the instructions linked by Jack_R1. A few things you may want to be aware of though before you start.

Just went through this over the past few days. You will need Amon_Ra 1.8.0.1 recovery... no exceptions. The others do not work with the Nexus One being sold here (South Korea) because they have the SLCD screen. Any of the ROMs with the newer kernel supposedly should work. CM6 works fine but Kang-o-rama doesn't as far as I can tell from my testing. It looks like Evil ROM will will work and I will be testing it tonight.

Be sure to get the Korean IME from the /system/app folder. If you type Korean I think the default one that comes on the Korean phones is pretty nice honestly. You can just run the APK once you flash and then set it up in language/input and also when the keyboard is up long press on it to select it for use. Another thing, you will need to get the APN settings for KT. The GSM works by default but you need the settings for the 3g. I used apnmanager (found on the market and seems to be japanese) and just did an export before flashing and import after flashing. In order to DL it after flashing I needed to connect to a network via WiFi. I would really like to see Kang-o-rama working with SLCD so I could use the install scripts to install all this extra stuff. =/

The APN settings are as follows btw:

carrier="KT" mcc="450" mnc="08" apn="alwayson-r6.ktfwing.com" mmsc="http://mmsc.ktfwing.com:9082" type="default,supl,mms"

EDIT: I forgot to mention... check the radio in your Settings -> About Phone -> Baseband Version. It is probably 32.41.00.32H_5.08.00.04 (as mine was) so you shouldn't need to flash it for any of the newer ROMs (2.2 [froyo] based) since you have the latest radio img out there. Not sure before or in the future so just follow the instructions otherwise ^^. Also, to access the games section of the marked you need the market access program over here. All because of some crazy regulation they have about having all games that are sold needing to be rated by the government.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamie-:
I second that, there must be a tweak that allows us to use them with ADW?

Sorry. You just can't.

It's got to do with the widgets being built into the launcher or something. It's the same with HTC and their sense widgets.

[G1 General] Deadbolt:
Ive rooted before but im trying to root a friends device...It's been a while since ive rooted mine so I was freshening up how to do it again. I followed the steps all the way to flashing the SPL...My friend was on android 1.6 with build number DMD64. I reverted to RC29 to root and when flashing the SPL...i flashed dangerspl in recovery. I rebooted and now it does not go past the G1 logo...i tried fastboot and boot into recovery but unsuccessful. Is this a brick? I'm really hoping not...any help would be appreciated, thanks.
[G1 General] funkeee:
Did you make certain the radio was up to date? Old radio with danger spl = brick. Sorry. If that's the case, your only option will be JTAG, which is a rather complex procedure.
[G1 General] Deadbolt:
I could have been certain that the radio was 2.x but not 100%. My friend's phone was at 1.6 before the reverting to rc29. Does reverting rc29 also revert the radio to 1.x?
[G1 General] Bzerk1:
No it shouldnt, can you get into recovery mode? if you can then just flash the rom again and it should work just fine.
[G1 General] raven_raven:
As far as I know, DREAIMG.nbh contains ROM, radio, recovery, SPL and splash screens. So yes, I'm 99% percent sure it downgraded your radio.

If that's a case, then you have nice brick.

Why do you ppl still bother with Haykuro? SafeSPL + MTD Partition Hack is the way to go!
[G1 General] Deadbolt:
If the dreaimg.nbh file does downgrade the radio then i'm probably sol. It was my fault as I should've gone with the original hardspl before flashing the dangerspl right away. But I didnt think rc29 would downgrade the radio, thought it'd be safe.

Anyone know or know anyone that can do the jtag hack and try to recover the bricked G1? I looked up jtag and it sounds quite complicated to do myself. If anyone can do it, ill even pay a small fee for someone to do it. Thanks.
[G1 General] PROTO407:
I have a question about this too. I too find myself in the same situation but i did not try to flash the dangerSPL. I was rooting and after i flashed hard spl and rebooted i got stuck on the G1 screen...I cant load into recovery or normal or even fast boot. Did i really just brick my phone? any help would be cool
[G1 General] sketba:
Bottom Line....

Out of all the post, no one seems to give a straight answer. HTC G1 frozen on the bootup screen (T..Mobile G1 screen). Can the phone be fixed or NOT? If it can, how is this done? (factory G1) :confused:
[G1 General] funkeee:
If you can boot into Recovery (Home + Power) or Fastboot (Camera + Power) you can recover your phone. Otherwise you need to use JTAG, which with the right knowledge can recover just about anything. I'd search craigslist or similar sites for people that offer JTAG services. Every now and then an XDA member might offer it, but that would be in special circumstances, considering that there are a lot of people who might need it done.
[G1 General] xxcrashxx:
is it possiable for one to purchase said jtag hardware, and run the software on ones computer??

Sorry to burst you bubble, but the prices aren't yet confirmed, and I'm near certain that they will be released by mobile carriers first. Clove and expansys have had them listen for some days now, and indeed probably since the announcement, but they are guessing at the prices. As for delivery date... Well they might have a concrete date for delivery, but I don't think there has been anything from samsung that we know of, so they could be guessing at that too, since we know 'early october'.

[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
If I recall correctly, the device is coming to the EU first anyway, so going to korea might not actually speed anything up at all. Also, although I couldn't speak to the exchange rate, but since Korea is likely to be a hot market, the prices could be artificially high at release, so keep that in mind to.

Its also worth to keep in mind that the Korean version will be CDMA (ie like a verizon/sprint devce) and not a GSM one, which will mean that you won't be able to use the mobile data connection in Europe at all because it won't have the right radio.

Hey all.

I bought a vibrant in the US from t mobile I'm taking to israel.

Do I have to be in t mobile in order to get the upgrade?

And in another manner, is rooting the phone prevents froyo upgrade?

I need the upgrade in order to get hebrew support. I can get it by rooting and installing fonts, but I guess I should wait a month or two and get it built in.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david_ag:
I have been having this problem ever since I tried updating PRI to 1.40_003. I've tried the factory reset method and the data profile reset method, both from home and 150 miles away from home to no avail.

I had roaming data working perfectly prior to this. In mobile network settings I have enabled mobile data and roaming network is automatic. I was running Fresh 3.1.2 when this started and since updated to Fresh 3.2 with a full wipe and still nothing.

I can't roam at home or 150 miles away so I know it's not a problem on my area. I have loaded techknowfile's 00001 PRL file, and that way I have data working while roaming. The problem is that PRL is not good for me because most of the time I have great Sprint signal, and that PRL forces Verizon's towers. I need roaming only at work.

I can make calls while roaming just fine, my only problem is data. I tried calling Sprint and they had no clue. Someone please help!!!

If I didn't own an EVO, I wouldn't think anything of it. The Epic takes longer to get an initial fix. Indoors, it usually gets no fix at all. Quite a contrast to the EVO. I hope there are improvements. I saw a post saying that the source was released. I find it hard to believe that there is so little buzz about something that was such a big deal in the EVO forum.

Roger
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
I heard the rumor that the GPS drivers in the Epic aren't up to date which is the problem. That Samsung fixed the GPS issue that was on the other devices, however the drivers are bad and Froyo will fix it. That being said, I can stand outside and have to wait like a minute or 2 before I get a triangular lock, then maybe 5 to 10 minutes before I get an actual GPS lock.
[Epic 4G General] autoprime:

[Epic 4G General] USAF22:
In other news toasters do not work well underwater. :p Maybe some phones can get a good fix inside, but for the most-part, you need to be outside to get a good signal.

[Epic 4G General] roghaj:
It is really the AGPS/GPS relationship that we are looking to work better.

Reset my EVO open google maps. 1 second to location general. 3 seconds to accurate lock.

Reset my Epic open google maps. Well... this time it only took a few seconds.

What I think is going on is that the tower location isn't helping the GPS location the way it should. I'm sure it is a software thing. Still tons better than my touch pro was. That thing took all day to get a lock indoors.

All surfIII chipsets get a fine lock indoors. No need for a view of the sky. The lock isn't accurate, but it is a very sensitive chipset/receiver. Not a crazy post at all.

-Roger
[Epic 4G General] bigray327:
Not a crazy post, just worded poorly, and probably indicative of a lack of understanding of how GPS and AGPS work together.

That said, I'm very happy with the indoors AGPS performance of this device. It's all a function of how long it's been since you used the app. Wait 30 seconds from when you last used it and it's gonna be quick, but wait a week and it's gonna take some time to update the ephemeris... just like any device.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:

[Epic 4G General] rjmjr69:
Mine works AWESOME once I got an initial lock it is now blazing and very accurate
[Epic 4G General] robrob:
Newer GPS receivers can pick up indirect signals (very weak) and give lock on for a fix--you no longer have to have line-of-sight to the satellites. My Epic is very slow to determine a position indoors or out. I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to return it before the 30 day trial expires.
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
Mine works fine. I am aware of how to prevent problems with gps on my phone and made a post about it, but apparently I'm the only one who thinks the gps and time-without-signal bug are connected, when it's reproducible on my phone.
[Epic 4G General] infamousjax:
I've played with 4 epics, and every one of them has had sub-par GPS performance. Especially compared to the Evo. With that said, it still works generally every time outside in good weather, but the lock will take a little longer than you might be used to.

Indoors, I can't get an accurate lock at all. I've tried in a multitude of different indoor areas, and I'm usually around 50ft off, which isn't too bad really. However, like I said, coming from the Evo you may be disappointed.

Hopefully it can be fixed with a software update, but who knows how long that will take.

All my tests were performed with aGPS as well.
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
To use the GPS accuraely, you"l need to turn off wireless networks and use sole 3/4G networks. WiFi will crew your ****. Also, try opening the com.samsung.GpsSetup.GpsSetup activity.

Man I'm coming from the HTC Vogue which didn't have GPS to begin with. Then I had to perfect it later on when the drivers were released. The I went to the hero which got a lock everytime in this same spot I'm sitting in less the 5 seconds with 10 feet
[Epic 4G General] vashht:
I just got an epic today to try out, I was using an evo before. Insie my work building neither one gets a good gps lock, both of them get stuck at 2300 meters. They both only see 2 satellites which is the problem prolly. Outside they both lock on very quickly, but the epic gets only 30m accuracy while the evo gets 3m.

In gps test they were both locking onto the same sats and both have the same signal str, so I have to believe the accuracy is a problem with the software. I had a captivate for 2 weeks before I switched to sprint and got an evo, and the captivate was far wrse gps wise, it would take about 5 minutes before it even started locking onto sats. The gps on the evo is basically perfect, ad so far the epic gps has been very good for me, locks on within seconds and is fairly accurate. Ill try some more tonight though, my evo is able to lock on indoors at home so I will see if the epic can do the same. It works good enough for me though, even though the evo was nice if you rooted and unlocked the screen, it still feels sluggish compared to the epic, I can't wait to get froyo on this thing its going to be amazing.

[Epic 4G General] dwyw42:
As other posters have mentioned in the other GPS thread, the 30m accuracy seems to be a hardcoded value reported by the firmware. It never changes, regardless of whether you have 2 sats locked or 10. The actual accuracy is much better.
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
Yeah I used Google Navigation flawlessly with the 30m circle around me the whole time.
[Epic 4G General] bigray327:
Some of the posts here make me wonder if you people actually have your GPS on, or are just relying on the aGPS. Google Maps doesn't show the blue circle for me when GPS is on and converged, only when it's off and just using aGPS.
[Epic 4G General] Jjday7:
I remember your roms from the Vogue section and they were great. Yours was the last one I used for a very long time before I sold my phone. I am very suprised you went from the vogue to the epic. Step to the darkside and get an Evo and all the gps hoopla will go away.
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
Don't confuse aGPS with network given location. aGPS means assisted GPS where the phone uses an internet connection to find local GPS satellites quicker than purely scanning for them.

Network location, while on WiFi, uses the MAC addresses of wireless routers around the phone to calculate its location. On a cell network, it triangulates the location based on nearby towers.

My point being network location has nothing to do with the GPS chip in the phone.
