I wouldn't rely on the GPS in my Captivate or any phone for that matter for flight ops. But, I do agree that if the phone says it has GPS, it should have GPS working when you buy it at the store. Doesn't matter if it's a nice-to-have feature or a core function. If it says it has GPS, then it should work.

I am hoping that this was a last minute configuration/software defect that was re-introduced following QA. There's no way a phone should be able to exit QA with such an alarmingly big severity 1 defect.
[Captivate General] PuffinNugz:
Dude. Cool. You answered my question. That's why I asked. I personally couldn't care less about the gps. it works good enough for me.

Sorry you broke your eternity. i had mine for two years. was dropped/thrown/punched countless times, the moisture label was bright red, but i never had a single issue with that phone other than when using opera mini and sometimes i would click a link and it would just refresh the page. a buddy of mine got one shortly after i did. he finally just broke his screen last week. cracks all through it and a couple "chunks" from the screen gone, but it still works. still texts on it like crazy. that thing is sturdy.
[Captivate General] Phredeee:
Smokestack...... Would you not complain if you bought a truck and found out it had the wheels missing?

I bought a device that is supposed to have GPS but doesn't. All I want is what I paid for. My reason for wanting it does not matter. I will never buy another samsung phone. If it hours totally unresolved I will never buy anything Samsung.

I totally believe this was/is an intentional scam. Then on top of it the reduced speed and forced data plan change.

I'm not happy and wish I could send this otherwise good phone back.
[Captivate General] PuffinNugz:
Bad analogy. A truck needs wheels to be able to serve it's purpose. A phone doesn't need GPS to work as a phone. Maybe saying something along the lines of air conditioning, it's an added bonus, such as the GPS. don't mind me, just sayin....

gotta kill these last few minutes at work some how. And you really think it's an intentional scam? take off the tinfoil hat...
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Return your phone then. If you are out of the 30 days, you still have a valid case for returning it - but watch you say:

- GPS is known issue that Samsung has acknowledged.

- reduced speed? Where? HSUPA was never spec'd so you won't win that one - just because other phones have it, doesn't mean all do.

- forced data plan change - clearly spelled out what data plans work with the phone - if you don't like it, don't buy it.

So your GPS complaint is valid, and if the phone doesn't serve its advertised purpose then return it. There is no international conspiracy. maybe samsung knew about the GPS issue before they shipped, maybe not. Dev's are flashing new firmwares all the time - and it could have slipped through a rushed QA cycle.

Instead of complaining do something about. If the product doesn't work take it back. The iFools should have done this.

Hello to all,

I did take my first phone back to att because of gps problem, we try 5 phones before she got one with working gps it takes up to 10 seconds to lock the signal.
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
GPS will sometimes work on brand new phones so thats not a gurantee. After a few days it will be garbage again like everybody elses phones

Just looked and found a notification saying "Update available for Google Maps. Manual update required" This when I had the auto update checkbox checked. Seems a bit redundant to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i belive that is the "automatically check for updates"

i've yet to see a feature for the softwares to automatically install updates without your confirmation

you just need to go to Android Market and click on the apps that says "update available"

then it does everything else automatically

[Galaxy S I9000 General] FlorianO:
Hello all,

While I've been using PPC for more than 10 years, the Galaxy S is my first Android based phone. So, please bear with me if my questions/below is a mix-up btw. OS issues and device issues.

1) Text scrolling.

The biggest gripe I have with the Galaxy S is that, during the longer text inputs -- say typing an email -- the occasional typos (mispressed letter sequence, for example) are a PITA to correct. So far I could tell there is no possiblity to scroll the text a few letter position. The "tab" button doesn't seem to be working as a e.g. trackball / optical mouse or any sort of positioning function (just a stupid button). Worse, the build-in keyboards has no "arrows" keys for scrolling the text.

Same holds true when I need to scroll a longer list of items.

The only way I do it is to point the cursor to the right position and/or erase all the intermediate text just to run into the same issue 10 letters later. Needless to say that takes too much energy (and bile) and disqualifies the device for text input just by itself.

So, the question is: How do I do scrolling / navigate text ? Is it possible to e.g. re-map the volume rocker on the side for having up/down (leflt/right) functionality ? Is this an "issue" with Android OS itself (of not having that possiblity) or a horrible design miss from Samsung (there seem to be other Android device -- some HTCs come to mind -- that do have some trackball / optical mouse functionality, for this very purpose, I would suspect).

2) Device freeze

I read in some reviews that this might be a Samsung ROM issue (haven't start mucking about with cooked / custom ROMS yet -- using the ROM the device was shipped with) but every once in a while the device freezes long enough to p!"#!"# me off -- not even my "old" WM 6.5 device did that, at the fraction of the CPU power in the Galaxy....

Any suggestion what to do ?

TIA for all the suggestions / hints,

Florian
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FlorianO:
Anyone ?

TIA yet again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Wummi:
on the swype keyboard, swipe from the swype key to the SYM key.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FlorianO:
Thanks, but that's still a PITA: takes 1 swipe only to get to the cursor keys, only to need to do another tap to get back to text input.

Anyway, I came to the conclusion there is not much to do -- the real cupltrit is the device HW design, which I find nothing short of idiotic.

Thanks anyway.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Earthbrain:
I google this inquiry and I was suggested the program called Power Manager. However, I also heard that it would not work with Froyo.

Are there any other program for a battery meter. The default battery icon on the top right of the screen does not give me the percentage of how much is left.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] agentaaron:
Power Manager works fine with Froyo 2.2...I am using it without issues on Froyostone v1

For a more detailed look at your battery percentage and usage, I use "Battery Snap" from the market (its free) and from what I read...it uses the least amount of system resource and gives you a ton of stats and graphs about your battery history/usage.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Earthbrain:
Thanks.

Are there any that put a battery icon (perhaps a widget) in the home page that tells you how much battery you have left in terms of percentage?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] agentaaron:
yeah...batterysnap has a customizable widget that displays the percentage/time remaining/voltage/temp.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] trant01:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] flashman2002:
Im sure you can. There is a full Fascinate system dump that is available. Thats how a lot of people are being able to get the live wallpapers. Just have to find the exact name of the widget and associated files for it, and then figure out what it takes to get it to work. That is if it is a stock fascinate widget.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] terrigan:
That's SamsungWidget_DigitalClock1.apk, i grabbed it from the fascinate system dump but it obviously doesn't install on my Captivate. Must need to be modified and I have no clue as to how. I'd love to learn though.

Edit: With further research into this widget.. i now know what the term deodexed means.. not sure how to do it though.. still researching.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] thejonesyboy:
I'm also very interested in converting (deodexing) packages for use on other firmwares or phones so it would be great to hear how you go!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] terrigan:
I got the odex file deodexed, resigned the apk after adding the classes.dex file and it doesn't install, i feel i'm close though. I'm not sure widgets are a good candidate for this process but i don't know any better.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] terrigan:
I've actually gotten further.. past the errors i've been getting and had the .apk load on the phone successfully, i get errors on the phone now loading the widget in logcat so I probably have to work on it a bit more.

Has anyone else actually been able to do this successfully? I'm using the customizable themes, a-la framework-res.apk hacking as my starting point on this. How much harder can bringing over widgets be? If anyone else has more experience than me on doing this, I could use some tutorials or tips on apk hacking. I can't imagine that something as simple as a widget would be hard to port over.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pachukomendez:
I think I've actually seem a clock similar to this on the market place when I was looking for a clock widget. I'm not sure the name though I'll see if I can find it again.
