[Galaxy S I9000 General] maesebit:
Yeah, the Galaxy is faster at fixing but, accuracy?? As soon as I start moving the damn thing keeps pointing me all over the place. Teletransporting me from one street to the other. The Galaxy GPS is simply a useless joke.

The Omnia's GPS was far from perfect but at least it gets the job done. Maybe Tomtom didn't work properly, but all other navigation softwares I've teste do work properly. Now I use iGo and it guides me flawlessly, even into the city driving thru narrow streets. I WISH THE GALAXY S HAD A GPS AS UNPERFECT AS THE OMNIA!!!

I think it's just pathetic the way the SGS GPS performs, even compared with other presumably flawed GPS like the Omnia one. Wich makes the Galaxy even more pathetic since its GPS can't even compare to other below average old hardware.

Honestly, I don't get it. I don't understand peoplo who defend Samsung on this matter, unless either, they were lucky and got a better phone than those who complain, or unless the work for Samsung and don't dare telling things the way they are.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cricka15:
using google maps on x10 my gps was perfect, quick lock, great accuracy and would hold connection with satellites. x10 wouldn't hold 3g connection for me.which is more important than gps.

sgs doesn't seem to be able to hold its connection with satellites, that's my problem anyway. oh, and when it does hold it seems to "drift" slowly away from my location to other streets. as in car nav its pretty useless!

I'm on jm1 fw from o2, waiting for an update, either 2.2 or a later 2.1.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Shocky2:
Big deal, that's not the issue, the phone still fails to find enough sats in-car or inside buildings and still keeps losing the lock and I've tried four of them now.

And please don't tell me thats normal, because it's not, my HTC Legend gets 10 locks in less then 30s, inside or outside and I don't lose them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Oletros:
Mmmm, do you have read all the post or do you have stopped right here?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zipolly:
I've had my generic handset since march and can honestly say I have never had any issues whatsoever with gps, I use navigon software and it never skips a beat I've done tons of journeys near and far and I think its absolutely fine.

Over the past weeks I've also changed firmware a few times and currently iam using jpo froyo, the only issue I have had has been with the accuracy of the compass apps but since downloading"travel compass " its been ok.

I have now installed the free maps from orange on my phone which is part of my plan (generic handset) and did around 60 miles on call out this morning and my gps was pefect as with the navigon software , i wonder if this problem is related to provider handsets and google software or there are lots of faulty handsets out there .

I ran mine side by side with my tom tom 530 this morning and while it wasnt as smooth it was just as accurate .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sambale82:
Im using jpo/jpp on orange uk. Flashed it last week. My gps is excellent locks on very quick and works well with google maps. Its the only software i have flashed that works well gps wise. Locks on quicker than my tom tom. Its a great improvement over the other 2.2 and 2.1 releases official and unofficial.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
A GPS is supposed to give position and speed when moving, so to test it you'd need to log those two eh?

Some of us here (maybe more elsewhere) have reported their GPS as "Working Well" with track recorded to coroborate the statements. How the hell do you wan to argue with someone that puts the proof in front of your eyes? Are you so blinded by your "hatred" that you can't accept that some SGS might work perfectly well?

Come on now, if you'd realy want some "improvement" with your issue, you'd get some facts and compare them, surely there's a reason why some works and some don't. We need to find THIS reason instead of argueing pointlessly...

[General Questions and Answers] ninestraycats:
Done a search in this forum, nothing. Google's little help. Nothing in my HTC Aria manuals.

I'd just like to know more about the internals of hboot.

What is RECOVERY? Why does my dad's N1 (unrooted) lock up on a different screen when he selected it (had to remove battery to restart)?

What does SIMLOCK do? I'm too afraid to try!

Also, on my unrooted HTC Aaria and my dad's unrooted N1: when you boot into hboot, it gets to the first menu (FASTBOOT/RECOVERY/CLEAR SD/SIMLOCK), doesn't let you select anything, and after 4-5 seconds, moves to another screen (all the hboot/radio/etc version numbers stay at the top of the screen), searches for four files on the SD-Card (LIBEDIAG.ZIP/.bnh and LIBEIMG.ZIP/.bnh), doesn't find them, then boots back into hboot. At this point you can select whatever you want. Selecting BOOTLOADER from the FASTBOOT menu restarts this process, while REBOOT BOOTLOADER blanks the screen then brings it back up inside the same FASTBOOT menu. Thoughts?

POWER DOWN and REBOOT (both inside the FASTBOOT menu as well) do what you'd expect them to. I would assume same goes for CLEAR SD in the first menu.
[General Questions and Answers] demoneyes905:
Recovery is essentially a fail-safe mode. When something goes catastrophically wrong with your phone and you cant boot the OS, you can boot into the recovery partition and use it to factory reset your phone.

It is also used to flash (install) new system updates. When your phone gets an OTA update, the phone downloads it, quickly reboots into this mode, flashes the new firmware, and then reboots back into Android again.

With a custom recovery, you can flash not only verified manufacturer/carrier updates and wipe data but you can also repartition SD card, flash possibly unsigned and non-manufacturer content to your phone. A custom recovery can be installed when the phone's bootloader has been unlocked.

Why do the recoveries look different? Different manufacturers have different versions and so many of them look quite different from each other but all have nearly the same functionality.

Simlock is a feature used by manufacturers to lock down the GSM phone to a certain carrier. If you use this feature, you will essentially be losing the ability to pop in and use different SIMs from different carriers. In other words, you would lose the 'unlocked' aspect of your phone.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] juryrigger:
PLEASE HELP!!!!

I know people have started threads about being new and needing help installing themes, but none of them seem to work for me. I'm hoping someone can still help me out.

I just got a Touch Pro 2 for Sprint. OS = Windows Mobile 6.5

I'm trying to change themes. I've read numerous tutorials on many different sites and just can't seem to get it to work. I have HDWallS installed, but it never finds any wallpaper to load. I've tried placing .cab files in various locations on the phone for HDWallS to load, but they don't show up. All I see are folders like "Application Data" "ConnMgr" "Documents and Settings," etc.

I'm a bit confused by the whole thing quite frankly. Does HDWallS only change the wallpaper, and not the entire theme? If so, I guess I'm using the wrong program.

I've tried the tutorial here to no avail.

h ttp://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-pro-2/96452-hdwalls-walkthrough-tp2-please.html

I'd like to use one the themes on these 2 pages:

1:

h ttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529576&page=7

or 2:

h ttp://forum.ppcgeeks.com/pocket-pc-themes/74764-popdog54s-icon-sets-wallpapers-s2u2-themes.html (scroll down about halfway to the S2U2 themes, i.e. Star Wars, Star Trek, Halloween, etc.)

For the first site, I thought I could just download the .cab file to the phone, run it, and it would be done. No such luck, nothing happens. Do I somehow need to use HDWallS with the cab file or something?

For the second site, I downloaded a program called S2U2, and installed it, but couldn't get the program to find/load any wallpapers.

How do I get these themes to work? Please help!!! Thanks in advance!!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] juryrigger:
Bueller? Can some help, please?

I disabled touchflo under settings, ran the .cab file, but no dice. The theme doesnt show up under the themes list! I tried disabling touchflo, installing the .cab, restarting, and then restarting touchflo, but that didnt work either.

What am I missing?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Gua-k:
This might sound stupid but have you reboot your phone after this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
The problem is that he isn't installing any themes. HDWalls is an application. It says right on the first post, "...but what you end up with is a flawless wallpaper, higher in resolution than the standard methods, same background on all tabs, and absolutely no glitches or lags in rotation that I have noticed." It's for putting high quality wallpaper as the backgrounds. The other link is for a lock screen application called S2U2. Those themes aren't installed by cab files normally. You generally just copy over the files in the \S2U2 folder and restart the program for it to take affect. Basically the OP's problem wasn't that he didn't read enough.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdwolf85:
Okay so I was testing out the Molecule ROM along with SetiroN's i9000 Kernel. I installed the backlight notification app on the kernel's page and went to reboot. After the reboot I can no longer use the power button while in recovery mode and when I try to reflash back to stock with Odin I get a FAIL message while its checking the file system. Is it bricked or does someone know a way to fix this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Are you able to get back into download mode successfully?

This happened to me with i9000 kernels. You should be able to flash back to stock no problem.

remove battery & sim and disconnect phone,

open odin,

put battery in and hold Vol down,

plug in USB,

Flash

Should work for you.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Florynce:
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for what happens to your phone. Always make sure you make a backup before flashing anything to your phone.

This theme is a port of ::ANDRODeNa GaLaSSiA:: originally for the I9000 made by dena994 and can be found here.

I was inspired to port it to the Fascinate after seeing it ported to the Epic by raiderep and can be found here.

The icons for this theme were made by Hockey and his work can be found here.

I also want to thank Frost and ThatDudeButch and all the others in irc.freenode.net for answering all my questions as this was my first theme.

This theme will only work over a deodexed rom.

I have only tested this over JT's Super Clean ROM v0.4 but it should work over others. Install it by flashing through CWM.

:::ANDRODeNa GaLaSSiA::: V1.0 for Fascinate DI01

:::ANDRODeNa GaLaSSiA::: V1.0 with No Themed Apps for Fascinate DI01

:::ANDRODeNa GaLaSSiA::: V2.0 with No Themed Apps for Verizon Fascinate DJ05

To get the launcher to look like that, you will need LauncherPro and the files below. Just put the image files on your sdcard and go to preferences on LauncherPro and change the Dock Background image to the dock image included and set the icon for the app launcher by long pressing on it.

Yeah, this theme will replace some of the system apps to the stock ones because it themes them. If you don't want any of the themed apps you can just open the .zip and delete the app folder using 7zip and then flash.

I finally gave in and rooted my phone after researching it thoroughly. I used unrevoked to root and have flashed fresh 3.4.0.1 and netarchy 4.1.9.1 and am using set cpu, too. but my battery drain is just as bad before I rooted.

before the last OTA and before root, i could get a good 14 hours with moderate use and time without signal was lower, but now it seems my time without signal is rather high(i do get lousy coverage in my house, but outside its great), and i am sure that may be the main culprit of my battery drain. I am usually lucky to get 8 hours now.

My question is there an app that works reliably to prevent such a heavy drain because of the searching for a signal, without going straight to airplane mode. or is there something i may have missed rooting it and should check some settings? I was hoping to get it back up to 14-16 hours of battery life with rooting it.

I havent seen an app that does this. I am curious though because unless you are in your home a significantly more amount now then you were pre root you still shouldnt see that big of a drop in battery time from signal.

how long ago since you last wiped data on the phone (probably last time you flashed)?

did you recalibrate your battery after flashing?

did you reset up all your settings to optimize battery?

are you using the HAVS version of Netarchy's kernel?

i know lots of questions but these would greatly help on what you have already tried and what you can still try.

I am also running Fresh 3.4.0.1 at the moment testing it out and i have gotten the best battery life out of it using the No HAVS netarchy kernel and the collins battery tweak set up WITH OUT setCPU. I also use the paid version of juice defender (ultimate juice) and have that set up to drop data connection while the screen is off. I am normally in the heavy user area but lately have been busy so have slipped down to the moderate level and i can still easily get all day (about 14 hours).

If you are a true heavy user i would expect 8-12 hours of battery life, mid user 12-16 and as a very light user your milage may very greatly. I am assuming since you previously fell into the 14-16 hours your a moderate user. if thats the case you should def be able to get back to that.

11 hours of moderate to light use (about 3.5 hrs of awake time) and the battery has 64% left. :D

so I flashed from fresh 3.4.0.1 to myn's warm TwopointTwo (RLS3)

and went from netarchy 4.1.9.1 cfs havs kernal to Kings #11 with havs and cfs.

I am using setcpu (all on demand profiles): screen off 384 max/245 min, battery <50% 614/245, temp >40.8C 614/128, and Charging/Full with 998/384

and the other app I am using is called Green Power (i am using the paid premium version) my settings on it are Managing Mobile Network Only. Keep wireless on if power is on, Keep wireless on if screen is on, Check traffic before shutting wireless off and start up at boot, Durations ON 1 min - OFF 10 min.

I am rather happy with this setup so far, and really digging myn's rom. i loved FRESH, but mostly because i spent months just using stock sense and got so use to it, switching to FRESH when I rooted felt natural.
