It has to deal with the voice mail number which wont let you change because I am having the same issue. Tired of Google voice so I thought I would see what was up.

Haha well it seems you answered the same way I did to your question. Not sure if this is a build issue or what so hopefully someone with coding knowledge can help.

For what it's worth, my GPS on 2.4 has been pretty good, even in the car. It took only a few seconds for it to find me accurate to 30 meters, and although it did update a bit slowly, it never brought me to a side street or anything for my 20 mile trip to work today. Now if I could only figure out how in the world I'm only managing 5 MFLOPS................
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I agree as well Its a very powerful yet cheap $500 device...Can't reasonably expect it to be perfect in every area.. EVERY phone has it's Achilles heel..Iphone has reception issues and its A PHONE n has reception issues!

I bought this phone because it was the BEST ATT had to offer for the things I use the most....GPS was down on the list hence I don;t have an issue because it takes a few minutes to lock...It does lock and it does get me where I am going for motorcycle use where it has a clear site to the sky....and that's what a GPS is supposed to do...ok its not pretty and a little wacky at times.....but it does it's job for the majority of users,

Complainers all had 30 days to return the phone and try something else.....yet they don't and complain instead,,,,,The information has been pout there for MONTHS the GPS is suspect on the Captivate and......Yet...

The GPS thing is way overblown. It works. Not as well as a stand alone and not as well as many other phones,,,,(as well as my N97) but this INFORMATION has been out there for months...WHY are people still buying the phone and coming here to complain about it?

I knew there was a "issue" but I have NAV covered and I knew from reading it does work...just not up to some people's expectations. If it was my only NAV device I would pass and get an HTC or something else if that function was critical to me.

ENOUGH ABOUT THE GPS.........RETURN YOUR PHONE OR DO BETTER RESEARCH.

[Captivate Android Development] Ashkerlon:
blah blah blah

well my gps is gps is doing gps but got down on gps which isnt correct gps but my friend has gps on that gps thing which really sux gps..oh yeah....one more thing.....STFU about gps.:mad:
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
For the record

My GPS works fine. It's not the best, during navigation it lags and loses lock, but, it gets me in the right area. So what if I take a pic and it geo-tags me as being 2 neighborhoods away

For the most part it works

But to dismiss it? I get that you're tired of hearing about it...Sure, but, if people are getting better performance in a different ROM, or with a different config, why wouldn't we want better performance?

As far as knowing about the issue. I bought my Captivate as soon as it hit the market. I would, and do expect it to work as advertised.
[Captivate Android Development] nkd:
Man I cant believe that we are being called out for Gps problems. My gps worked fine with the beta 3, but this totally broke it and killed my battery. MY battery just kept draining and it was less then 10% after about 9 hours at school and I bearly used my phone.

I know I really don't care about GPS sometimes, but not every one has a 1200 dollar gps in their car. If samsung released a firmware that broke the gps on the phone I am sure some of you wouldn't be calling out forum members. All they are doing is pointing out an issue. While I appreciate the hard work by the developers, I also feel that if something is up with the new rom it is my job to report it.

I don't think anyone here is accusing anyone for breaking their gps, they are merely pointing out a problem. Enough said.

What an informative post. Please continue to contribute to the subject as much as possible.
[Captivate Android Development] whitesedan:
I'm not sure if this was mention, I did a few Trial and error, now I finally got my VM indicator working. I replaced Phone.apk and Phone_Util.apk in cog 2.4 with Cog 2.3B1.

I have tested a few times and it works with out any issues. Please back up those files if you decide to play around with system/apps folder.

For what it's worth, I also swapped DialerTabActivity.apk since I rather have "Contacts" than "VoiceMail" tab. It does look out of place but I rather have a functional phone than a nice UI.

EDIT:

You will receive tons of FC upon removing or renaming Phone.apk until Phone.apk is present!

[Captivate Android Development] tkienzle:
Amen brother do you hear people saying all of my pictures are grany no you use a real camera not a phone and if you say why should I have to buy something else I bought this $200 phone for that then your a fool. If these things had all the top notch stuff in them they would be these huge bricks in our pocket and you would be *****ing about that...

I think what we should be saying is this man I can make a phone call any where I want to oh and look it has a camera ohh and damn look at that it records video and holy **** I can txt msg and email on wifi when I'm surfing the net holy crap is that YouTube playing ect... ect...

[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
If having this ROM makes you need to do that and gives the mad face, then I'd say don't put this ROM on. :p

Regarding all the GPS argument: Take it to the GPS thread where it's been hashed out and argued over and over and over. On the other hand, if we need to discuss whether it is working on a given ROM or not, that is what a Beta thread is for.

Crimeny...talk about wasting thread space.

Crap...now I'm wasting space. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] aite97:
well will it even work correctly?
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Yea but the GPS doesn't work. It's not like the camera doesn't work.

Would you be *****ing if 75% of the time you took a picture w/ the phone ...it didn't work? Or if 75% of the picture was missing in all the pictures?

Or if 75% of the time the WIFI did not work at all?

And, if no other manufacturer on the market couldn't make a phone w/ working GPS...fine. But all other medium to high end phones have working GPS. As I've mentioned probably 100 times, my 2 year old G1 has working GPS. As do about 300 other phones on the market.

You're not comparing apples to apples. If the GPS was accurate to even 50 meters...I'd probably be OK with it...not happy with it but not *****ing. But the fact that it DOES NOT WORK for most of ALL the Samsung Galaxy users (not just captivate) is completely and totally unacceptable.

Just because you don't use it, doesn't mean it's not important.

I do have a separate GPS, a separate camera, etc. But I cannot use the GPS function on this phone as advertised and as with hundreds of other phones on the market.

Etc etc etc.

Anyone know if there is a way to get rid of the text messaging thing where it says,

I didn't buy my phone for GPS. if someone asks me I tell them if you want good GPS buy another phone. For what I was looking for, the phone is great.

Do clockwork backups still not work with voodoo lag fix enabled? I have never disabled lagfix before making a backup in clockwork. I have flashed a rom a couple of times without disabling lagfix as well on accident, but the flash was successful. I think that was because I was flashing from one cog version to another, and both had the voodoo lagfix in the update.zip.

DG, I thought you may find it interesting that they are working on cm6.1 in the i9000 forum. Once they get that port finished there will be all kinds of goodies(customization) that you could implement (if you wish.)

I'm loving 2.4 by the way. You do great work sir. I think everyone on this forum owes you temporary alcoholism.

Ummm, no. I don't want to get over it, I want working GPS. A few of you guys act like it's some amazing bonus to us as consumers if a product actually does what it's supposed to...it's kinda sad actually.

This is why Samsung will never be the smartphone leader they're trying to be and this is why their Galaxy Tab is going to fail as well. Their reputation sucks.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Not trying to single you out but try searching for GPS problems. There have been many arguments over the GPS in this thread alone. There are many great tricks and tips if you read. If everyone repeats themself all the time for new users the forum is very repetitive and unhelpful to all of us. Please search before posting. Thanks.

Volume Level

My only issues with this ROM so far are:

1) Volume level: mainly on speakerphone and earpiece, but bluetooth too;

2) Market downloads: had to keep toggling WiFi, also tried fixing permissions usin ROM manager and I rebooted. Finally got the apps I wanted downloaded, but it was a real pain.
[Captivate Android Development] :
If I were on my computer I could get you a link but search on changing the volume parameters. I've read on doing this for another rom and it seemed easy.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Yeah, news flash: GPS is a problem on SGS line. :rolleyes:

It really is a shame that this line is a no-go on GPS. I hate to utter these words, but that's one thing my iPhone 3GS did well. Oh well, at least my calls don't drop on my Cappy like they did on my iPhone. I'm one of those that still uses my phone to talk and that's one thing I can do for sure on my Cappy.
[Captivate Android Development] :
3GS does not have a GPS. It uses network location. If you wish to do this use maps instead of navigation. This function of the phone works fine.
[Captivate Android Development] wilsongis:
I understand the frustration with the gps but

1. There were reports of gps issues at launch, you should have returned the phone. You had 30 days to make up your mind and it appears you did not.

2. You are installing a beta. Post the it does not work and move on.

3. As I read most posts, with other cog betas. Seems like 50/50 report bad gps in best of time. This one seems worse but based on reading not analysis.

4. Do I really know that you have 2 g1s and your gf still uses one???? Too much info!
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Didn't find anything through gmail but I did google search and I just found this.

Try dialing ##004# on your cell phone and pressing send. It deactivates the call forwarding for google mail. Well at least it worked on mine I'm using t-mobile.

So if Gunnyman decides to come back this should work because it just worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Yeah, I've read it too and it does not survive a reboot [and] I don't want to have to do that. The ROM I ultimately use for my daily driver will not require me to go through that.

Anyone having problems with sending SMS to the wrong person? Its happened to me on and off since I flashed the 11/5 release. I thought I was doing it but its obvious to me now that something is hairy with my phone.

GPS and voice mail notification are not working at all on 2.4. except those, it is best froyo rom ever.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I've had it happen a couple times. I've also had it happen with other roms. I think it has something to do with this specific messaging app. Also sometimes when you select a message thread it opens an unselected thread. I just try and pay attention now. Its prolly a fluke that will never get a fix considering I've seen it on multiple roms with different handsets.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
The A-GPS system on the iPhone 3GS is much more than network location. Yes, I mis-used the term GPS, but the A-GPS system on the 3GS is much more than a tower triangulation.

Also, perhaps you thought that I just got my Captivate today; I've used the Google Maps and Nav many times and they both suck. Have you ever used a 3GS? The tracking on it is very good.

Make sure your are not using "Wireless networks" And edit your jupiter.xml file so that you are in "Standalone" mode, or "enhanced assist = 0" . It is well known that using the wireless network assist settings screws up the GPS when moving and don't use the sensor aiding. All the assist and sensor aiding seem to help is with fast intial locks and thats it.

Get the jupiter v006 files from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=789383&highlight=captivate+agps+solution

Don't worry about the secgps.conf file not being on your phone, it's just settings for lbstest. You can add it but remember that nothing in lbstest actually affects anything on the phone except lbstest.

Lbstest is to find the settings that work and then you add/change them in your jupiter file. :cool:
