This appears to have solved my issues! Thanks!!!
[Fascinate General] TxMoose:
I use the gmail app, but it seems to be very slow sending email. Also, the stock email app truncates ALL my email with no way to get the end half. Does anyone else have this issue? I'm rooted, using jt1134 super clean, stock kernel.

Hello,

I have a couple of WiFi connections saved on my phone.

Is there a way to copy these wifi connections' passwords or to back it up?

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brisnick:
I guess the title says it all. Has the official UK froyo release fixed the GPS?

This is the swinging factor on which phone I get!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Oletros:
No.

Eleven chars
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pillboxhunter:
I don't know about fixed but mine is certainly a lot better. It no longer loses lock every 5 mins or so using route tracker pro. and it turns back on properly after using waze - so averall a great improvement.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jian:
No.

Suggest you get something else if GPS is important to you because it is absolutely crap on the Galaxy S. It is inaccurate and will jump back and forth at regular intervals. It will also lose lock very easily if there are high buildings around. I can't even get a lock sitting on the top deck of a bus and next to the window.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] symanuk:
Yes in a big way. 10sec lock. :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brisnick:
I'm not so worried by how long it takes to lock, more-so by how it keeps the lock and can track an accurate location.

I'm assuming it is still all over the place then.

:(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lynchy30:
you are right, useless for what you need.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonny_ftm:
Why not RMA, ask for a new built phone, test GPS and report back?. I'm sure it will be ok in most cases. It looks like it was fixed on later hardware but no one is going to make Samsung admit it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bynar010:
No here too, better but still tracks really badly at times. Will look into an rma when I get some time to. Pity because apart from the gps I really rate this phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xavierzutafun:
Well, so far, based on my experience in the last 3 days, it is better. At least it seems like it is. I used RunKeeper quite a lot before, the tracks showed me flying over the river and stuff like that, but after I got FroYo, it got better. My tracks are more exact and it seems the GPS reception is not lost, like it used to. We will see how it will go on...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jac33au:
Huge no. It takes sometimes up to half an hour to get lock and then only lasts mins.

Add to that the advertised (here in australia anyway) free navigation which does not work here (no, google maps is not free navigation, its google maps. Navigation is navigation). Its an awesome phone but, and i may regret saying this. The horribly slow, misleadingly advertised, failure of a phone nokia N97 wins on delivering gps by a long shot. There i said it, its out there.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrej.marinic:
No. GPS still not working for me. Yesterday I couldn't even get a fix (outside, no tall buildings, no overcast)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Those of you that know me here will know I have dedicated a large slice of my spare time in trying to find out as much information as possible.

Throughout that time my GPS was totally useless running on one of the very first SGS's released in the UK.

Anyway, I altered nothing on the phone left it on it's stock ROM and did the upgrade last Saturday.

In short Kies totally wrecked the phone and I had to resort to using Odin to sort out the mess.

I've since told Samsung exactly what happened and my thoughts to Kies.

However, you are asking what is the GPS like.......

I have nothing to gain. Far from it I would be at the very front in damning Samsung for using Kies but the honest answer from me on GPS is for the very first time I can say I totally am impressed with it.

Whilst sat in my home, a good 10 feet away from the window in a large house with thick walls and three floors I get a lock within seconds and notice again for the first time many locked Satellites with signals above AND below 20SNR, yes below 20... (Prior to the upgrade not once did I receive a locked signal on anything other than above 20).

More importantly under My Tracks the lock follows my movements accurately and not once loses it's signal.

I took the dogs out this afternoon for a long walk and each time I checked the phone I noticed the compass showing the correct bearing and the GPS signal right bang on top of my position.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pedromarin:
No... bought a SGS in the UK last month and have been using it in Brazil. GPS has been completely useless for me. Froyo seemed to help at fist, but yesterday it took over 20 minutes to lock in google navigation. Terrible!!! :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lynchy30:
Easy to get a lock whilst walking, when i get in my car it becomes near useless.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forgetmyname:
Dear all,

I am still new to the SGS (and Android). I have been trying to follow these threads since September to work out what revision of SBL, radio etc the phone has. I have read the Wiki here, and on other sites, but still remain very confused.

the XDA wiki states that these are the codes:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series#Secret_Codes

Product Code	Firmware versions
GT-I9000HKDXEO	I9000XWJM2/I9000OXXJM1/I9000XXJM1/I9000XWJM2
GT-I9000HKDIDE	I9000BVJM5/I9000IDEJM3/I9000BVJM1/I9000BVJM5
GT-I9000HKDXEU	I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3
GT-I9000HKDXEU	I9000XXJPO/I9000OXAJPO/I9000XXJPP/I9000XXJPO

however, my phone has these, which do not match up to those listed above;

P-Code PDA Phone CSC
GT-I9000HKATPH	I9000XWJM2/I9000XXJM1/I9000XXJM2

I cannot find the forth code listed on the XDA forum.

I looked on http://samfirmware.webs.com/samsunglettercode.htm?referer=AffiliateNetwork

for my 'phone to work out what it was but it is not listed!

I would like to clearly understand what this means:

My goal is to upgrade the phone to the best versions (not the latest) that would allow me the greatest functionality. When people say flash JM6 to the 'phone, then which part are they talking about: PDA, Phone or CSC (or the mystery forth value in the quadruplet above)?

I would happily flash the latest files from samsungfirmware, but I don't understand what I should flash, and more importantly the reasoning behind this. Is there a clear guide about this available? [I asked the same question before but it went unanswered, possibly because there is an obvious guide somewhere that I cannot find, or I am plain stupid.]

Would somebody kindly put me out of my confused misery.

More speed is always welcome in my books so I tried the 1.2Ghz overclock, didnt notice any difference at all.. How about you guys/gals ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hol17:
OC is the same for a lot of computers and phones; having a 200mHz increase, you will not notice a difference. Its when you go 400+ you will notice a small gain in performance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kellyrx8:
with all the kernels out there for our phones, sometimes i get confused on which one to use with setcpu profiles and which ones you are not suppose to use...

if im using setcpu profiles , what ones should we be flashing/using?

right now im on on warm twopointtwo rls with the newest netarchy kernel with more aggressive and have setcpu off...is this correct?

sorry to sound so generic, but after reading through the rom threads, i get confused on what one to use and what one to use with setcpu and what ones not to...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
perhaps this thread will help http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=758655&highlight=setcpu

configuring setcpu is a bit daunting at first but a few rules of thumb may help get you started...

- overclocking will not increase battery life

- overclocking for the sake of overclocking is silly

- overclocking so that you feel the device is 'smoother' or whatnot is fine

- underclocking can introduce some 'lag' at certain times..most noteably at 'screen-on'. 245 more so than 384.

- profiles ... use them if wish. some folks swear by them others swear at them.

- the governor is a matter of choice. do you want more battery then try using conservative...if you want performance try interactive.

some devs suggest using certain governors for certain kernels. this information would be in the OP or discussed in the thread of that kernel. for example when i was using Snap7.6 it worked very well with conservative.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kellyrx8:
Thanks for the link on SetCpu...kinda nice to know what each one does.

guess ill have to look into each kernel and see what to us or not to use...

I had great battery life with Ziggy's kernel and warm twopointtwo rls2 on setcpu but not so much with rls3

just trying to find the best combo for my specific phone...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
so long as you learn how to backup and restore there is very little a patient attentive person can really jackup your evo.

do your nandroids

copy a nandroid onto your pc once in a while

do your titanium backups

sms+backup (or similar)

backup your adw (or launcherpro) settings

etc

then you can feel free to play with whichever ROM or kernel you choose...cause you can always get back to a working device in under 15min.

have fun!

[Vibrant General] AlexSochi8:
My vibrant has fell out of my pocket at least 10 times... The good part is that only the chrome plate is scratched up...

I want to replace that plate and try to spray painting it a different color..maybe black.

If anyone made snt kind of cosmetic mods or knows where I can order that chrome piece feel free to post.. Thnx
[Vibrant General] ntellegence:
There are threads on this. With that said the chrome is not a piece. I believe it is part of the plastic that holds the internals. One of the other threads has pics. If I think it's chrome paint. If I was to paint it I would CAREFULLY tape off scuff the chrome and apply any paint, primer etc with an airbrush. That would give me a comfortable level of control.
[Vibrant General] TheSneakerWhore:
Tape, sand, paint.

Prep is KEY to a good finish.
[Vibrant General] orells:
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say get a case and just cover it up. It's really not worth it to risk the phone for some scratches IMO. Also look around for full body skins maybe you'll find one you like, there are plenty of places that let you design your own.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
From what I understand this process is for the media scanning feature and once its done the CPU usage should revert back to normal, does it normally take about 15mins for it to be done as ive observed and logged it with SystemPanel and its using 15mins of 100% CPU time, now rebooting solves this issue but there are random times when the media scanner kicks in after some changes this process goes to 100% again for 15mins, now locking the device sets it down to about 200Mhz and makes it run for something like 3-4hrs.

I've tried deleting my cache, dalvik, andriod folder cache and DCIM cache and restarted this issue just keeps on coming back and never had this probably before JPO
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetluva:
So I've been researching some different root methods, but I haven't really been able to find a specific thread based on what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for Wireless Tether usage a couple of times a month (e.g. when I'm traveling or something like that). This is ALL I want root for. I don't want a custom ROM or anything else.

What is the best root method if all I want is Wireless Tether to work? I don't even care if I have to "re-enable" it from the phone after a boot (e.g. a soft root). I'm trying to stay as close to stock as I can.

Please don't post about loading up a new ROM, I don't want that. I just want a clean, easy root to get wireless tether.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and assistance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noxious Ninja:
If Unrevoked 3.21 works for you, that would be the simplest option. It's not the least intrusive, but it doesn't require you to re-run it each time you start up your phone.

It doesn't require you to flash a custom ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetluva:
Thanks Noxious,

Could you elaborate on the method that is the least intrusive, even if I have to re-run it everytime I startup my phone? I'm assuming I have to re-run it from the phone and not the computer? I'm ok with that - and would actually prefer it if it's the least intrusive.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetluva:
Also, how much will Unrevoked 3 change my device? Does it automatically load up a new recovery and all that?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mainstang:
I would also like to root for the same thing. How stable is wireless tether. I want to root just to use the wireless tether feature. I have read other forum posts stating it cuts in and out.

Basically I dont want to root if the wireless tether feature is kinda ify.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowboarda42:
Can't you simply root and leave the stock ROM with Sense and all, and install Wireless Tether, SetCPU, and whatever else you'd want? Or do you need to have a ROM that someone's already made with all those things added to it?

Personally I'm holding off on Rooting until this 2.3/3.0 update.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
actually in my opinion the unrevoked3 method is th easiest. the hardest part about that method is the driver installation. you do need to make sure you have all drivers installed and htc sync installed and then removed before you begin. If not it will hang during the rot process. unrevoked method of rooting actually changes nothing visually except for adding the superuser app(this is an easy indicator of being rooted). and the free wireless tether app from google is pretty much hands down the best. it is the one that most people include in their custom roms here is the apk for the wireless tether.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetluva:
Thanks caguirr4. Does Unrevoked actually install a new custom recovery?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
yes it does. it will install the clockworkmod recovery. not sure if it is the latest one but it is no big deal. do make sure that you make a backup as soon as you root. have fun buddy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetluva:
Are there any root options that don't? I'm just trying to stay as close to stock as possible with just the SU permissions to enable wireless tether. Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
None that i am aware of. But you need the recovery to make a backup. You can search the forum some more but I am pretty sure every root method requires some sort of recovery method.

I take it the Optimus S is the same as the X2 (Dual Core Tegra)

If so, then Im the same. I plan on buying this phone next month (released end of Jan in the UK)...finally replacing my HTC HD2...but wouldnt buy it if there is no intrested from the Devs at XDA.

So whats the plan? Is the LG good enough for its own forum here?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cmyasika1:
Hell Yes it is. I hope they update us to GB(android 2.3) sometime soon
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bradleyw801:
Absolutely not the same phone. The LG Optimus 2x is going to be the worlds first dual core processor. The screen is a 4" screen, camera is better, full HDMI out. The Optimus S/T is a great phone at a great price, but in my opinion it wuold be a downgrade from your HD2. I would suggest waiting for the Optimus 2x. That's going to be an amazing phone. I am sure it will get it's own forum.

Blame LG for not having a little bit of creativity. Come on, they have 4 widely different phones all named optimus. I think the Optimus 2x should be called the Megatron 2x!

It will still be nice if the Optimus had its category.

Hey guys I bought my g2 off craiglist and been using jt for about 4days. And I found a dead pixel........... so I'm trying to get a replacement. How can I get a replacement.what should I tell them?

I sent a mail to htc customer services but they are bullshitting me.

I can deal with the loose hinge but I can't deal with the dead pixel and screening being all wobbly when its closed.

And I just saw few posts saying that they have recevied g2 with stronger hinge? That it does not open when its upside down? Can anyone confirm this?

I'm not trying to be a crying baby, just expected a little bit more from htc 500 dollar phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
Claiming warranty is a ***** when you conduct business via craigslist. With that said, your going to have to talk to HTC about it because there is a manufacturers warranty on the device regardless of owner. Instead of an e-mail where they just send you a bull**** auto response try calling them...

And I had to get a replacement G2 because my first one had a wobbly screen and the hinges were pathetic. The replacement was solid. But... A friend of mine got his replaced and though the screen didn't wobble anymore, the hinges had no strength at all!
[G2 and Desire Z General] asmbler:
Just say that it was a gift from a distant relative and you don't have a receipt. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] tazz9690:
I returned my G2 until my buyer's remorse because the trackpad wasn't working as it should and got a replacement G2.

The hinge is a lot sturdier than my old G2 was and no longer falls down under its weight when hung upside down. If I shake it when upside down, then it begins to fall. However, there is no reason as to why I would shake it, so I really see this as a problem for me :)

Does anyone have any tips on how to properly break in the seidio extended battery? I feel like I need to break it in for it to work properly, but I have no idea how to do that. I'm not talking about calibrating it (leave it in for 8 hours, turn off, plug for 1 hour, etc., etc.), just breaking in a new battery.

Anyone have any suggestions? The instructions just say to charge it for 8 hours and then you'll see the full benefit after 5 - 6 charges.
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
Use an external charger to get a full charge on it the first few times you use it. I noticed on mine it would not get a full charge unless I used an external charger. The one I use is a Seidio purchased from amazon ($23) and you always have a battery with a full charge.

I put the extended battery in my phone and it showed it had a full charge in about an hour than I put it in the external charger and it charged for another 2+ hours. So I know my phone did not fully charge the battery, I experienced this on my first use.
