The text messages not being sent is really strange. I've never had any trouble with txt's getting through. I have had Internet issues at times, but txt just works so far. I hate to say it, but maybe formatting your SD Card and starting over might be in order to see if it helps. It's a lot of work for a maybe I know, but it might be worth a try.

The phone slowing during Apps Updates is to be expected. The phone is downloading large files, extracting them, and then installing them during this time. It's a lot of work to be doing in the background. I normally get a little lag while this happens. It shouldn't be lagging hard core, and if it is, then again maybe a fresh install might help.

PS: I just remembered, if you are connected to WiFi and send an MMS it may not go through. Not sure if you are sending picture messages or just txt.

I need help

I was trying to do this but my phone wont boot up no more.

I have a Tmobile Version.

Do anyone know what I can do to get the previous ROM that I just Flashed?
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] nnevermindd:
just wanted to extend my thanks to the OP for helping me install Android on my TMo HD2! So easy, and Android is so much fun. I'm really enjoying all the Apps that just aren't available for WinMo... thanks again :D
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] SuperSport:
No problem, glad it's working for you. Yes, I have to admit, the APPs are the huge difference for me. I've got a Windows Phone 7 and I really Love it, but the Android and iPhone APP stores are the bomb.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] Bippu:
I flash this rom last week.. great build but one slight problem.. My video camera doesnt seem to work, its not letting me record.. Only lets me take pictures.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] SuperSport:
I'm guessing you may have changed the Recording Resolution to 720p? Unfortunately, the HD2 cannot use that setting yet. The Android guys are working on it, but it's still not working. Reboot the phone, change the setting back to the one below 720p, then reboot again. It should work then.

EDIT: Also, if you like this build, you might want to try the upgraded version HERE.

Hello, I've downloaded all the the link for this tread and I followed it step by step. When I started Task 29 it told me that my ROM is 1.66 version and I pressed to update it to 2.00, it download the update, install it, my phone restarted itself and when it tried to start it couldn't. The phone is showing just white screen with HTC sign on it and it can't start, I left it all night, today I restarted it, I pulled the battery out, I tried to do everything and nothing is working. I am without phone now. CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE !
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] SuperSport:
At this point, you don't have any Operating System on your Phone. That is why it is not starting up. You missed a step in the tutorial.

"When it reaches 95%, press and HOLD the Volume Down button until it reboots into Bootloader Mode (Red, Green, Blue Screen)."

May I suggest you use the Newer version of this ROM found HERE. It's more stable and has some new features. There's also an Installation Video on that page.

When you have the ROM that you want to use, you must now place your phone into BootLoader Mode so it will accept a new ROM Flash. Pull the battery. WITHOUT the phone plugged into the USB cable, insert the battery back into phone. The phone should still be off. Now, press and HOLD the Volume Down button and then press and release the Power Button, but KEEP HOLDING the Volume Down button until your phone enters BootLoader Mode. It's the Red Blue Green Screen.

Now, plug your phone back into the USB cable hooked up to your computer and flash your desired ROM. It will be Step #7 on that page.

Let me know if you still have trouble.

Hi, i have been using this RoM for a very long time now (i wrote in the earlier stages of the thread) and i think it is great! the only problems i have faced with it is that after long term use apparently my internet has been starting to not kinda work. So when i try to use the web browser and or android market it dosent work. it manages to get connection for about 1 minute, but then it restarts the internet for some reason and i get offconnected. So it restarts for some kind of wierd reason and the internet is very slow. What im going to do is make a hard reset so all my applications and everything is deleted, but last time i did this all my contacts disapeared and that was quite anoying. So is there any way for me to back the contacts up on my sd/sim card so that i can still have them on my phone? And also if you have a better idea for how i can solve this/what the problem is i would be very greatful for an answer =). Ps. Am very pleased with the RoM :D

Just pointing out, running a totally stock epic.

I can sit in FRIDAY TRAFFIC, like I did today.........and click on google maps... and even WITH WIRELESS NETWORKS ON.......my phone has NO FREAKIN CLUE where I am on the highway!!

After this fiasco with the gps, I don't think I'll ever be able to buy a samsung phone again.

Cold boot, warm boot, hot boot. Makes no FARKING DIFFERENCE when I'm sitting in traffic wanting another route at 5pm on a Friday after a week of work!

What a failure!
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Ever think it was your phone? Mine locks within 5 seconds everytime even when I am indoors.

Wifi networks on

GPS on

Cold Start
[Epic 4G General] tonyp23:
Mine has a horrible time locating when I have 4G enabled. Here's my solution:

-Turn off 4G

-Turn on GPS

-Reboot

-Open Google Maps, boom sync right away.

-Turn on 4G after acquiring a lock if you need it
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
This is ridiculous for a flagship #1 rated phone.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Yes, there are bugs remaining with the Epic GPS -- some of which manifest themselves, or not, depending on usage patterns. The underlying problem is bad handling of the time-sensitive GPS cache.

As for your opening question: Did Samsung and Sprint forget about the GPS? That is a very good question. So far the manufacturer and carrier officially refuse to acknowledge the bugs. We know that Sprint investigated, and off-the-record third-tier support told a serious tester that the bugs were replicable and they forwarded the case to Samsung. Sprint front-line support, on its own forum, went through the motions of soliciting user' reports. But we never heard anything back.

There are workarounds for the worst of the GPS problems: Keep the Cold Start setting and turn off WiFi and 4G when initializing a GPS session with GPS Test. Then you can reenable 4g and use your mapping or nav apps normally.

But the GPS will not always work reliably out of the box unless Samsung fixes it.
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
I understand there are workarounds but the big problem I have is that Sprint completely ignores the problem. I've had an ongoing conversation with @sprintcare via twitter and every response is ignorant to the fact that there is a gps problem. They actually act like they've never heard of it and it's new to them when I bring it up. I pointed out that the Vibrant actually had an update specifically to fix the same problem. Generally, contacting @sprintcare actually works with most questions and problems, but anytime I ask about a gps fix their reply is "what gps problem?" then they continue to ask me questions about what gps app I'm using etc etc. I doubt we'll even be getting a gps fix for this phone.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
All that is unhappily consistent with what I observe, with one factual distinction: The GPS bugs on the Epic are not the same as the GPS bugs on the Vibrant (or its GSM-based siblings, the Captivate and I9000). The Epic has different GPS hardware, different firmware and different GPS bugs. They are discrete problems that seem to be unique to the Sprint platform.
[Epic 4G General] imwillzillla:
The Samsung Moment had well documented gps issues. My Evo never had a problem with gps and I had androids version and Sprint Navigation. Now the Epic has gps problems. Don't think it's sprint. It's the lovely Samsung.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Yes, it undoubtedly is Samsung's engineering problem to solve. But Sprint put its brand on the phone and sold it to us. Samsung built the phone to Sprint's specs, and presumably there was a QA acceptance step where Sprint signed off on the product before release. Part of the complaint in this thread is that the carrier is stonewalling in public about recognizing the GPS bug officially as a known issue.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Some kind of GPS update in Froyo beta

In the Froyo beta thread, it is reported that one of the GPS bugs -- the bogus estimate of 30-meter accuracy -- seems to be gone. So some kind of GPS update seems to be bundled with the Froyo release in the pipeline. No word yet on whether the more serious locking problem is fixed. It would take some controlled testing to determine that.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Might just be your phone.

Was playing with the updated Facebook app the other day and decided to try out the Places feature. I tried to check into a food spot I was having lunch in and the locations weren't loading. I realized that I turned off all location features, so went into settings and check on the locate with wireless networks setting and boom the location based services in FB started working.

Navigator and CoPilot Live all work for me and pinpoint in secs.
[Epic 4G General] razorseal:
Having my droid next to the epic, my droid had 6 feet accuracy, locked on 9/9 satellites vs epic with incorrect 98 feet and 7/9

I'm sick of this crap. I love the phone so much, but this issue is getting to me. Idon't really mind as all phones have their problems, but it should have been fixed by now

Want to join our club of non-working GPS? Here's how: #1, tonight, before you goto bed, restart your phone. Give it a nice, full reboot. Then, turn on WiFi, and make sure WiFi is set to Never Sleep under advanced wifi properties. (When you go into WiFi settings, tap Menu, Advanced. Change Sleep Policy to "Never."). Now, have a nice night, dream in anticipation of your never-locking GPS when you awake.

When you awake (hopefully more than 4 hours after you went to bed), with WiFi still on, start Google Maps. What? The little GPS blinky icon won't stop blinking? And your location is a WiFi-inspired circle that won't quite lock down to your actual position? Welcome to the club, my friend.

How to fix? You can try what you like, but you'll have to shut off WiFi and reboot. Your ephemeris cache won't reset properly until you do. Sucks, doesn't it. This test is extensively-repeatable, and has been reported here, on BAW, and elsewhere.

[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
This is my ONLY problem with the issue. I'm ok with there being an existing problem, and the cold start workaround works fine for me because I have great cell coverage in Orlando. Just show me you are working on a fix. Don't act like it doesn't exist, and as far as I can tell, that's exactly what Sprint is doing.
[Epic 4G General] razorseal:
I think that's most people's grief. It's that there isa problem, and nothign has been done. it's a pretty big problem as these phones use GPS for alot of reasons

Not saying that the phone may not have a problem, but you are having a extra problem I think. Got to be the phone.

No you're not a lucky one, you just don't know what you're talking about :P
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
I can't believe people take so many steps to reset the Gps cache.

Setting the phone to cold start is not a fix. It cripples the gps and in the event you don't have data coverage, its gonna leave you SOL.

Download GPS STATUS. The app allows you to manually clear the Gps cache, and download gps assistance data. Takes 2 seconds, and you will always get a fast accurate lock.

from a epic Galaxy far, far away.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
I just used my gps for the first time yesterday, via sprint navigation. I dont know how google maps functions but, sprint nav worked perfectly for me.

Only problem was it didnt know where i was at on 3week old roads. Gotta give them some time right lol.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
I'm quite familiar with GPS Status, and have used it for almost two years for its passive reporting of GPS metrics. But I have never been able to get its relatively new active feature -- refreshing the cache either manually or automatically -- to work on my Epic. There must be something different in your usage pattern and mine.
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
Can you give some more explanation on why the 'cold start' workaround is a bad idea? I don't know much about the workings of GPS. I do have GPS status but really don't use it much except for as an addon to add radar capabilities to my geocaching app. I've been using the cold start workaround since it was revealed and I have never had any problems with my GPS since. I even leave my wifi on all night every night (set to never sleep) and still never have any problems with it. I use my google maps for directions about two or three times a day to get to different job sites, so I definitely use it more than most.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
Put simply, the phone uses both aGPS and GPS to track your position.

aGPS has to be downloaded to help the GPS track you. Setting to cold start, your phone will download the aGPS data over 3g/4g/wifi connection. But in the event that you have NO connection (3G/4G/Wifi), the aGPS will not be able to be downloaded, and you will be using GPS only which takes much longer.

Cold start works for people who are constantly in good data coverage, but for when you actually need a accurate lock on in a area without coverage, you aren't gonna be able to use your GPS at all.

Ah, I remember the days when my Nexus was able to pinpoint me anywhere instantly. *shakes fist*
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Sure. But that is not really an argument against using Cold Start. It is merely a statement of the limitations of this workaround when getting an initial fix. Since most users are usually not out of cell data range, they typically don't hit those limitations and the almanac and ephemeris data downloads fast -- much faster than it could be retrieved from the satellites. If you are out of range and the cache data is obsolete, there is is no source other than the birds.

BTW, there is an additional problem on the Epic that several of us have noticed: Cold Start does not work well downloading the data when using 4G or WiFi, but 3G downloads it very quickly.

Aren't you the guy recommending GPS Status to download the data? That uses the data network as well, and could not possibly work if you are out of range of a data network.
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
Well thanks to both of you for the info and explanation. Luckily, I'm in Orlando and haven't ran into many areas where I have no cell coverage. I can see how that would cause problems in less reliable cell areas.

Either way, this is not an acceptable GPS, and Sprints lack of ownership of the problem is the real problem, whether it's Samsungs fault or not, it's Sprint's phone.

Who uses the gps without data coverage? Ask apps require data for it. Only thing I can think of is gps status and gps speed apps...

Sent from Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
hopefully the fix is in froyo
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
GPS Status, GPS Test or similar apps would at least display your lat-lon coordinates, which is the most basic function of any GPS.

You are correct that most apps typically need a data connection if they display Google map tiles or navigation information interactively, or perform some other Internet-based function. There are some apps available that store their own maps on the SD card. (MapDroyd comes to mind.)

I have deliberately used My Tracks to test the Epic GPS's ability to work in an area without data coverage. I couldn't see my position on the map in real time, but the Epic did capture the coordinate points for display later. I also used My Tracks on a G1 phone without any service, and it captured the data points just fine.

When a phone with aGPS can't get any data, it should just fall back to Standalone mode and download the almanac and ephemeris data from the satellites in order to get its initial fix.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
There is no reason to think that Froyo itself will fix the problem, because the root cause of the bug is not in Eclair. The bug is in Samsung's device-level firmware.

However, there is some hope that Samsung and Sprint will bundle some GPS fix in the same release that includes Froyo.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
of theres reason froyo will help fix since there is no effort to fix in elcair so the fix is hopefully included within
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
there are scores of apps and uses without data coverage. firstly there are several full blown navigation programs (navigon and copilot) that dont need a data connection.

Second how about tagging your pictures? I was recently in Europe takign pictures of my grandparents gravesites and former homes and tagged lat and long on the pics with my old phone (treo pro)
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
GPS status doesn't reset the cache. The developer cannot get it to do so on Epic, I spoke to them.

You are getting a false positive.
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
Are you getting locks in areas without coverage? I was not on warm start. Can you state definitively whetehr Epic even has standalone GPS?
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
Exactly. It won't flush the cache on Epic (it will on Evo).
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Confirmed that GPS Status won't update the cache. I turned off the autoupdate, because as soon as it runs, it prevents even cold-start from working properly for whatever reason.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
ps. cold start mode is not working for me anymore. Wifi turned off.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Give 'er a good kick in the reboot a couple of times, should fix it up. Make sure 4G is off as well.
[Epic 4G General] crabjoe:
It didn't happen with the Galaxy S so the odds are that it won't happen with the Epic. Looks like Samsung is trying to brush the crappy GPS issue under the rug.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
If they do that, I will single handedly spread the issue to the whole internet.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
No GPS problems here with 2 epics...locks very quickly and accurate.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Please read other GPS threads on how to replicate the problem.
[Epic 4G General] kevyli85:
For me the issue is using Bluetooth (while on phone) + 4G + GPS.

3G + GPS works instantly, no problem. Once I get a lock I can even turn on 4G and still be fine. However, one I jump on a phone call the GPS location just goes nuts and puts me in random places of the map.

This worked fine for me on the EVO before.

Anyone else have the same situation?
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
yeah I corresponded with the developer as I was looking to put together info so someone could write some routine that could be widgeted. samsujng uses a non standard system

from your activity on mods and kernal threads it is clear you are doing a lot of rebooting and resetting. this of course is flushing the cache.

My contacts with Sprint ADP who do see wide reports of the problem, indicate samsung is stonewalling. but keep in mind our main GPS problem is different. Also keep in mind that our Froyo update is going to include all kinds of non foryo related changes, namely upgrading us from TW2.5 to 3.0 (already on other Galaxies out of the box) as well as a fix for all the features left off when they adapted the phone for full physical qwerty due to forced landscape.

I can't see samung not fixing this really serious problem, they are going to create enormous consumer backlash.
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
If you have these powers, why haven't you already? I'm ready too. Just aknowledge the issue sprint/samsung, and I'm ok with it.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Not really... go several days without rebooting/resetting. One of the epics is bone stock and I never touch it with any mods...it's the girlfriend's phone...I'm not getting blamed for anything not working right on her phone.
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
Friend I am just saying that we see a number of people who tinker a lot with there phones saying they have not seen the problem, which we know for a fact to be conditional on user habits, specifically number of times between resets and other activities that may flush the cache as a ancillary affect.

Some users may see the result of the bug we all have very often, intermittently, rarely, or not at all. the bug is present on all Epics but a variety of variables affect how often it presents.

I have seen people state they don't have the bug and when I glance at their postings they have all kinds of thing going on from background programs that cycle airplane mode, to any number of activities which may also affect tehir experience
