[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyaas:
Just exchanged my Captivate again (3rd one in 2 days) after my perfectly working Captivate (GPS too...) was bricked by the update. The first two wouldn't even find a satellite.

Now, this one finds 10-12 satellites but won't lock onto a single satellite. I tried both the spirent-lcs.com and supl.google.com settings. Just nothing locks on... I tried both on GPS Test and the Lbstestmode Performance Test.

Right now it shows 13 Satellites in view - with a dBHz ranging from 42.0 to 12.0.

I know people have trouble finding satellites, but this thing is finding so many, just won't use any of them...

Any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
ideas:

1. be prepared to wait for gps fix from samsung

2. find Vibrant files that were ported over and seemed to fix GPS for many.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vintagephone:
reset the phone to box stock. Download "GPS Test" from the market. Go outside under wide open clear skies (no alleys, walls, windows). Run GPS test. Watch it for 5 full minutes... report back. Sometimes that first lock takes quite a while.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyaas:
I actually used the factory reset dialer number last night and reset the phone. Didn't work. As I was going to return the phone today to AT&T I reset the phone again to get rid of all my contacts and such and right as I'm standing outside the store... GPS locks on within seconds within 10 feet or so.

Since then, GPS has been working. Shut-off my phone, turned it on back in my basement, still a lock. Navigation stays locked.

Hope it stays this way as tomorrow is the final day of my 30day return period...!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdaddy4u:
take it back while you can - i SURE WISH I had.... :-(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laxwillsch:
I was having a lot of problems as well until i just downloaded LBS TEST MODE app from the market and tweeked the settings, now I can get a lock immediately as long as I use Get Position Test through LBS TEST MODE first. Then provides a lock through all my gps using apps.

EDIT: My settings in LBS TEST MODE are MS BASED, SKYHOOK on, Custom Config, Server, supl.google.com, and server 7276. and most importantly SUPL Secure Socket OFF. hope this helps

and btw the LBS test mode app will get you to the LBS test mode screen after the JH7 update.

If you use LauncherPro you can still get to it by using:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snorge:
How do I do a full factory wipe of my phone? I know you can go into privacy and do a factory reset but that is for data only isn't it? I want to make the phone how it came in the box. I was rooted and had the lag fix installed but I have undone both in preparation for this. Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geocepe:
You will have to flash it with odin to get back to full stock. why do you need it back to stock?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the3dman:
You can do a "factory format" not a factory reset, and this will erase all data and restore to factory settings. Download my service menu program in my signature to do this. Otherwise do what the last poster did and reflash with odin.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snorge:
phone seems slower in general than when I got it a few weeks ago, wondering if I messed something up playing with it. also I have a lot of fails when texting. just want to get it back like it came then start over.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geocepe:
If it was me I would do a Clockwork recovery of the stock rom. Im a little afraid of Odin due to all the bricks I have seen on the forums involving Odin (plus im on a Mac). If you are not returning it to Tmobile you could also try one of the roms that are posted in the forums. I would recomend Bionix or Frankin-twiz. Both devs are spot on with thier roms.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Factory Format Code is *2767*3855#

Just do a factory format, all the other methods listed are complicated

Go to dialer and dial in:

*2767*3855#

thats it, it will format your device and set it back to factory.

you can do a soft reset by dialing in

*#*#7780#*#*
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snorge:
tried that it erases all your data and settings but doesn't restore anything you have removed. will most likely use clockwork then.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] schmenge:
Tilt 2 with the new ROM. Whether I use the app that is in ROM (1.07 I think) or the newer one from Marketplace when I tap "refresh" I get the hourglass (or whatever you call the circling dots now), but no refresh. I can post status updates. If I delete the facebook files from the root when FB first loads everything will be current, but no refreshing. I have tried uninstall, reinstall etc. No luck. I've been running the new ROM for a couple of weeks and this just started so i am assuming the ROM is unrelated.

Is anybody else having this issue (maybe it is a FB issue), or know anyway to fix this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ridolfo:
Same here, on the october stock 6.5 ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JColorado:
Same...

I am having the same problem...

I was using Energy Sept, 7 ROM and Switched today to Sept, 24 ROM and still having this issue.

Went to marketplace and download latest version of FB and still having this issue? I logged out and logged back in and it refreshed but, It doesnt always work.

Someone please help us out...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tripp-phpBB:
I was just having a similar problem. Logging out and back in will let you refresh but only once.

Facebook App Solution

I'm having the same problem so I googled it and there was a solution (forgot where or who). Anyway, open file explorer and go to device. Now look for files that has the name facebook (I deleted 3 including a file named fbmail) and delete them, them soft reset. Now log-on to your FB account and everything should be as before.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suresh13:
Hi All,

I'm from Malaysia, here we pretty much dont have contracts, thus we are free to buy our own unlocked mobiles, albeit at retail prices.

Anyway, i've been using the hero for a year now, and am thinking of upgrading. I have narrowed it down to either a Desire, Nexus One or Samsung I9000 Galaxy.

Both the Desire and Galaxy are officially available here, but the Nexus One isn't (i'd have to go for grey imports - thus warranty becomes a problem). Leaving the nexus out, im left with the desire and galaxy, both have almost the same price, but i've been browsing the galaxy forum and it seems there are lags (with lag fixes)? Hardware wise, the galaxy is more powerful (but is it that noticeable?), but what i want is a mobile with very active and broad range of rom development, the desire wins in this case over the galaxy.

Will it be worth it and wise to get a desire now, since the desire HD is going to be released soon? I for one find the HD's screen too big for me. What i want is a phone that i would be able to use for at least a year+, and one that has active rom development (which is why i choose the hero a year back).

I've been looking at the spec sheet and the HD has only certain advantages over the Desire, namely better GPU (adreno 205 vs 200 on the desire), fab process (45nm vs 65nm for the desire) which should translate to lower power consumption but the behemoth of a display on the HD would consume more power, a better camera (8mp vs 5mp - with such small sensors, whats the difference anyways?), and slightly extra ram. Oh, and of course the screen size difference.

That being said, i'd like to know from you desire owners is it worth upgrading to a desire from a hero now? And also, whats the battery life on the stock desire?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
Maybe the Desire Z is better for you?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesax:
I've recently upgraded from Hero to Desire and i can assure you it definetely worth the money. IMO Hero's hardware is insufficient to support its software, making the phone lagging most of the times. Desire's 1ghz processor + extra RAM makes the phone work fluently - almost as an iphone. Also desire has a much better camera and a much better screen in matters of brightness and resolution. Body design is also better, phone is thinner and construction sturdier. The battery life isn't as good as on the Hero (lasts 3-4 days vs 1-2 days on the Desire).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suresh13:
Maybe i forgot to mention that i am not looking for a phone with physical qwerty keyboard. The reason behind this: It has a slider which has mechanical moving parts and is more prone to damage. I've had too many problems with flips/sliders right from the days of Motorola Startac, my last slider being a nokia n96, which flex cable gave away twice, so i kinda have a phobia towards anything but candybars :D.

I also want a 'best bang for buck' device, and both the desire/galaxy s are in that category. I could only imagine the retail price of the desire hd and z when they are launched here.

Have you tried any of the roms which undervolts the proc? To be honest, the price of an iphone 4 isnt that too far away, just slightly higher than the desire here, but then again, i just cant explain why, but i cant see myself using an iphone ever. i practically hate it..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesax:
I am not suggesting that the iphone is an overall better phone... it's just that motion and scrolling are better as it uses a dedicated GPU. If i was to buy a phone i would again go for the Desire. It also costs almost half the price of the iphone. :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suresh13:
Hey dont get me wrong there! :) i was just voicing out my opinion on an iphone. Guess we're on the same page there. :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
Nothing desperately wrong with the iPhone. I own both and they are both fantastic. Why dont you try the desire, galaxy s and desire HD in store and see which one you like best?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suresh13:
Well I can try out the galaxy s n desire in store, but not the desire hd as it's still not out.. well, even I admit the iPhone can be good, it just isn't my cup of tea :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
my hero is just as fast as my desire. just a easy to see in bright sunlight if not better, battery lasts longer and built much better, the only thing it cant do as well as my desire is play games .......
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalfou:
Hi mate, well i didn't have a hero so i can't help you out, but i had a sony xperia x10 instead and i can safely tell you the Desire is worth every penny more. Once you calibrate the battery the desire is really awesome!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rr5678:
Go into Windows Mobile. Turn on the Audio Booster. Go play a song in Windows Media Player. While said song is playing go start up Android. When Android starts, go play a song. It doesn't matter what radio or rom you have, the song will play normally with no distortion whatsoever. Be warned, if a notification plays first you'll have no more sound. It only plays one sound/song before you have no audio at all.

UPDATED script, tnx to TheGrammarFreak

1. Download ubuntu unzip and copy folder ubuntu to sdcard. (632MB zipped take a while, about 2GB unzipped)

2. Download my modified scripts and unzip them to ubuntu folder on your sdcard

3. Boot phone to recovery or fake-flash.

4. Start adb shell

5. cd /sdcard/ubuntu

6. sh ./ubuntu.sh

7. sh ./bootubuntu to test if it working, if you got prompt root@localhost :)

8. reboot phone

9. Open terminal on phone or adb shell

10. With terminal run su first then bootubuntu, on adb shell: only bootubuntu

11. update your system and install some good stuff:

apt-get update

apt-get install tightvncserver lxde openssh-server

set password for vnc

passwd root (for ssh access)

12. install whatever ubuntu stuff you need

Andriod-vnc apk

we have a valide zImage for the Lengende ?
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
There are a couple of potential problems here. I'm not sure what fastboot is like on our legend, I have a feeling that some commands don't work...

The image we use at the moment was made with chroot in mind I assume... I'm not sure though.
[Legend Android Development] LilNes:
I try

fastboot -c 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p1

and its work, but nothing on the screen ^^

fastboot -c work fine, but the cmd not ...

remplace mmcblk0p2 (nexus one) by mmcblk0p1 for the legend =)

And when i try

fastboot -c 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p1' boot zImage

I have zImage not found =D

Edit : we have ext2 module on the legend ?

Try replacing zImage with the name of the image you are using.
