[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
so none of these GPS fix is confirmed to work, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
GPS works fine as is in stock

just configure the accuracy settings for the picky ones
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
Did you actually try it with a real word test? GPStest means nothing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
of course, i'm using it evertime i drive, it's impossible to navigate the small streets without a good GPS, to avoid traffic grid locks at every major intersection and known death locked areas during rush hour
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
thanks

I guess I should try to get a replacement for my phone and hope that the next one is as good as yours.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rikayla:
I have JH2 on the new phone I got today and GPS doesn't work either.

Brand new, newly shipped.

GPStest doesn't detect anything at all - never mind being "a couple streets" away. I wouldn't mind 'a couple streets' off right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
You need to go in the menus set it to cold start and standalone and then clear gps data and run get position fix test
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
Leave it for like 20 minutes outside with a clear view in GPS test (check the option to keep the screen on)

If it works after 20 minutes, it means that your GPS works but aGPS doesn't.

If it doesn't work, well it means that your GPS doesn't work at all...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
keep something in mind

if you use it as a plain GPS with no (a)GPS then you need to give it time to slowly download the GPS satellite schedule from the satellite to your phone, that takes a long while

if you use GPS with aGPS enable, you need to have at least WiFi or 3G enabled with connection to the internet to download the Satellite Schedules much faster is this method.

after that GPS will work all the time until the Schedules expires
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yeria:
I updated my unlocked SGS I9000M running on Rogers network to stock Froyo from stock Eclair. Since then my GPS stopped working. More specifically, my GPS sees 6, 7+ satellites every time I'm outside, but it locks on to none of them. I didn't have any problem with my GPS on Eclair. The problem only started after I upgraded to Froyo.

I've been searching around and I learned something very interesting from this thread. Where do I find this aGPS setting? There's just an option to use GPS or not in my Settings menu..

Also, dialing *#*#1472365#*#* didn't take me to any menu screen, so I don't know if that has anything to do with this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spectre85:
Try *#3214789650# this should work for you. not sure about the agps though....you can also download sgs tools it has all the codes in there. Here is where I got this code from.

I tried searching, no luck.

Im on At&t, running chuckydroid (d/ling energy), also running HTCclay's SuperHD2, with all the correct APN's.

Is there an issue with android sending MMS, I just get the ''sending'' and thats it.

Energy WM rom worked. Just kinda sucks that I have to WM to send MMS.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] PJoseph:
Had my Droid 1 now for about 7 months, love it, but have always wondered about rooting. Finally did it last night with this great, easy method via Android Forums and Droid Forums - way to root FRG22D without downgrading first, using SDK, Motorola drivers, and rageagainstthecage. Long story short, unless I've missed something, what I have now is stock FRG22D rooted.

Question from this noob is - Are there themes for stock, rooted FRG22D or do I have to load something like Cyanogen or Bugless in order to get any other themes at all?

Apologies if I'm totally missing the boat here...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] Löki:
Load cm6 there are tons of themes, and the rom rules. I'm sure you'll love it as much as i do.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricardoft:
Try my zip file. Woked for me :)

The only thing that I want to change and I can't is the init.rc file. I tried to mount the / (rootfs) with rw, but every time I restart my device the file is copied, again, from the ramdisk image.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulseek_82:
I have the same problem :mad:

What should I do with your files?

Nobody has a solution to this?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ofloo:
I don't think this is a memory issue though, .. added 512mb swap and still it claimed to be out of memory, ..

also I figured maybe hd space .. however when i ln /data/local/tmp/busybox to /system/xbin it had the same error.

I both tried ln from the system and ln from busybox both had same result.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricardoft:
It's not a memory problem! In order to install it you have to be in recovery mode.

Try:

While in recovery mode use adb to connect to our phone. Now transfer the zip file (busybox.zip) to your phone and install it via clockwork recovery -> install zip file -> select my zip file.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ofloo:
can anyone post the proper busybox file cause for some reason the file signature verification failed.

adb push busybox-signed.zip /sdcard/busybox-signed.zip

rebooted phone held down volume button while booting ..

choose recovery, ..

choose install zip from sdcard..

then i see a lot of no and one yes .. so i choose yes but the installation is aborted.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elibongo:
Just install titanium backup and click on 'problems?' at the bottom. It will install BusyBox for you.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellysmile:
it has error during installation at line 4 with your busybox.zip

somethinf like can not chmod

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin2516:
Do what this guy said. ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellysmile:
titanium install in /sdcard busybox, not in /system/bin (xbin) , so it is not usuable by other apps
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellysmile:
i have installed it in during recovery mode in /system/xbin

how now to specify PATH for using commands from it?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ofloo:
you have read my mind especially since that isn't free software.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ofloo:
i think you need to create aliases however why install it in xbin anyways then, .. if you need to create aliases or links in bin.. ?

example

$ ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox ls

$ ./ls

if it is in a path that is included in PATH executing a command will auto look for it in all directories defined in PATH env so basicly you could just create all the directories under /data/local/tmp/bin

and just then append that to PATH env echo $PATH then append :/data/local/tmp/bin to it and busybox should work as well.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin2516:
titanium backup is free software... look on the market, there's a free version and a donate version.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellysmile:
i have aliases in /system/xbin

they was created after busybox --instal -s

but in system allready exists some commands like ls => i want to use ls from busbox, not from system

and terminal emulator dont anderstand ^[ likes bindings
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matpol:
is there a definitive way to do this. There seems to be no clear way of doing it.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulseek_82:
Maybe this helps:

from this site: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=702634
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matpol:
The above is pretty straightforward. The only thing is you need to download the zip in the other thread and 'busybox' refers to the binary in the zip rather than the whole directory - as I understand it. Correct me if I am wrong but trying the dd command on the dir will not work.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulseek_82:
You dont have to extract the binary into a folder, just extract the busybox file direct on your sdcard. Than the dd command should work, on my phone it works fine.

But if not, does the command cat in the adb shell work?

If so, try istead of the dd comand:

mount /sdcard
cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/xbin/busybox

And remember to start your wildfire in the recovery mode, that was the mistake I had done...
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henkdv:
In trying to find a suitable busybox for my device I found this thread. In this post, ricardoft suggests using his zip file. However, it contains this line:

set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:xbin/busybox

Correct me if I'm wrong but I read that as root, root, SETUID, rwxr-xr-x. This would allow any app to bypass su and become root without warning. Definately not the way to go about installing busybox.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showlyshah:
Use bussy box installer from market
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henkdv:
That won't work, you can remount /system read/write but as soon as it's written to the phone instantly resets. I always manipulate the /system partition in recovery mode, which is why I prefer the update.zip method of installing busybox.

@OP: how did u created busybox.zip, if you could provide the link for the tut or video, it will be great

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keratos:
Nice1. Thanks. This monitors CPU, Memory and Network activity, not the battery drain per app (%). I suppose, however, that battery drain is a factor of CPU + memory + network activity so its as good as I need.

[Captivate General] Jedarius:
Hi all,

I have an unlocked Captivate running on the Rogers network here in Canada. Whenever I receive a text message it is timestamped for 3 hours earlier. If I receive a text at 8pm, it would show up as received at 5pm.

I have called Rogers and gotten them to reset me on the network. The problem still persists however. I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem as well. If so, are there any potential fixes?

Thanks.
[Captivate General] ianwood:
Is this consistent for all messages? How about MMS? I can tell you that the network will have little to do with it. The time stamp comes from your phone when it receives the message. There is no time stamp in the message payload itself. Check your time and date settings specifically time zone. Try changing it manually. Test it and then set it back to update from the network.
[Captivate General] Jedarius:
Thank you for the reply.

Yes it is consistent with all messages. I tried using chompSMS and on the message menu it shows the correct timestamp of when the message was received. However, when I click into the individual conversations, it shows the incorrect timestamp.

I have tried to set the timezone to Pacific (I'm in Vancouver) and then back to update from network but that still doesn't work.

Any help at all would be awesome.

:)

Thanks.
[Captivate General] ianwood:
Odd. My guess is the network is setting it in a way your phone doesn't like. I would suggest this:

Set the time and timezone manually.

Clear all your current text conversations.

Reboot.

Get someone to send you some texts.
[Captivate General] JohnoDotCa:
I'm from Vancouver Island running an unlocked Captivate on Rogers, I calculated the difference between my time and the incoming timestamp and adjusted my time zone setting (GMT -3.00 worked for me). It's something to do with Rogers network, I had the same issue with my N900. Works fine now.
[Captivate General] evilution:
Download a program called smsfixtimes from market

Google the program to see lots of other people with same problem.

You can also use a messaging program called Handscent. It relies on when text was received, rather than the timestamp.
[Captivate General] yungstar89:
Yup, the guy above me is pretty much right. If you want to keep using the samsung messaging app that came with the phone, get the sms timefix from the market. I'm also in Vancouver using the Captivate (on fido). The problem I had with that is that when I would get a text right after I sent one (say at 5:25pm), if a friend sent me a text back within a minute of me sending the text, it would show up before my text in the thread.

That's why I gave up on that and went over to handscent sms.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hrana:
It seems like the same audio routing problem seen in other Samsung Android phones also affects the Epic 4G:

code.google.com/p/sipdroid/issues/detail?id=366 (I can't post links)

This is shows up on SIPDroid and Fring. I've contacted Fring support about this issue. It looks like some people have fixed with a patch to the audio routing code in other Samsung Android phones:

forum.samdroid.net/f9/sipdroid-voip-i5700-problems-983

forum.sdx-developers.com/android-2-1-development/fixing-the-moment%27s-audio-routing-%28so-we-can-use-sipetc!%29

A cursory search shows this issue hasn't been reported here yet so I think I might take a look this weekend to see if the patches can be ported over to this phone. I'll admit I'm a bit out of my element here so I could use any advice and help from the seasoned devs on the forum. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mightytightywty:
I was seeing the same thing on SipDroid, but then I tried Fring last week, and it worked fine. My biggest issue was the SIP call quality (with both apps) connecting directly to gizmo. It was really bad both over wifi and 3g. Almost unusable. Not sure what the cause was.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hrana:
I agree that Fring call quality on SIP leaves much to be desired. I found SipDroid to be much better but still somewhat unusable. I have an Asterisk box at home so I can tweak things with codecs as soon as the audio routing issue is addressed.

As far as Fring fixing the bug... yes, Fring only fixed part of the bug in the latest version (2.1.1.24 I believe). Right now the initial call comes through the ear piece correctly. However, if you switch to the speaker phone during the call then the audio will never go back to the ear piece no matter how many times you click the button on the screen. The button on the screen will change but the audio is still piped through the speaker phone. I've reported this bug to Fring but haven't heard back from them yet.

Once they fixed it (if they can fix it), then I may ask them how they did it. At best they can tell us how they squashed the bug and then I can share the info with the SipDroid developers. At worst, they say no and we're not worse off than before. I still believe porting over the fixes in the other Samsung phone is an easier-to-implement solution than asking every VoIP developer to add a special case for Samsung Android phones (if that's in fact how they solved the issue).

Ok... I just experienced something which was very strange and quite worrying.

I initiated a call in android... got 5 seconds of silence followed by what sounded like garbled voices. My signal is always weak in this location so I assumed I was connected and could hear my friend talking..... so I began with the usual "hello, HELLO, Can you hear me?"....

THEN I heard the phone ringing (MY CALL HADNT BEEN ANSWERED YET) :eek:

Before and during some of the ringing sound, I could hear what I am certain was a human voice albeit very garbled and incomprehensible.

Is it at all possible that I got a 'crossed line'? Is that even possible in this day and age? :confused:

As my signal is usually weak here so I do sometimes get garbled audio especially while calling out - but this sounded very different and I am 99% sure it was a human voice.

Has anyone ever experienced anything similar under android on the hd2? or even under winmo? Would hate to think someone could be listening in to my conversations :eek::eek::eek:
