I'm new to the Epic

I am new to the Epic, I have had it for a little over two weeks now. I have used navigation on six different occasions, and since I purchased the phone only had it reset once when I took it to the sprint store to have it upgraded to Eclair DI18.

Aside from this reset two days after I got the phone I have not had it done since. The GPS seems to function quite well, and seems to keep up in the turn by turn department. I do not have 4G in my area, is this perhaps why I don't have the problem?

It is a bone stock phone other than the several apps I have downloaded. Reading this forum makes me want to try some different things, but to be honest the phone does about everything I could ask for right now and seems to be the complete package. Hope I never experience the issue talked about in this thread.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
If you're not using 4G or WiFi, you will be less likely to see the problem.
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
Well we are hoping samung gets on the stick about the various bugs, GPS and otherwise.

Otherwise they are going to keep their reputation as the company with the worst followup and support, just dropping buggy devices and devices with old operating systems onto the market and forgetting their customers.
[Epic 4G General] hardrock121:
I m having the same issue too with a week old epic... have it set to cold start and turned off wifi 4g etc still cant get the lock..

turned on the 4g no wifi.. no luck..

not sure how to get the lock..its completely useless and keep trying to locate me with a big circle on the navigation.. "Searching for GPS" is constantly on.

Any help?

Rebooted cpl of times too.. to no avail

Its still trying lock on after 15 mins
[Epic 4G General] dsjr2006:
Unfortunately the GPS issues affect all version of the Galaxy S including the Samsung Focus which is Windows Phone 7 so it's clear that Samsung has some issues to work out.
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
Try using gps status with tools. It will tell you how the gps is acting. But... clear the cache with that an see how it does. You just have to keep playing with it till it hits. Once it does, reinstall fresh. Seems to always hold for me. I've fixed 3 epics now.

Sent from an Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
Try Toggling GPS on, open Google maps, Toggle GPS off, Then toggle back on, go back to Google maps should lock. This works for me all the time.

yeah it's annoying. :mad:
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
GPS Status is unable to clear the ephemeris cache on the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] billyp707:
Here's something strange. I just DL'ed BING and clicked on the maps tap and the gps made an almost instant connection. Could there be a problem with gmaps or gnav?
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
No, the problem has to do with the GPS subsystem. You'll encounter the problem with Bing as well, just wait.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
welp, my gps still sucks. Let me down again today when a co worker needed directions...

Not sure how you guys get locks at all.

Set mine to cold start, wireless off, use wireless networks off, 4g off......even after restarts it doesn't freakin work.

I guess I'll be buying the next NON samsung sprint dual core phone and dumping this pos on ebay.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Hmmm... I generally don't need my GPS to navigate me to nookie... I have anatomical parts that provide very accurate nav data taking me right to my destination.

Whether I will it or not.

:D
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
gps status cache tools have no affect on cache on the Galaxy S CDMA versions like Epic.
[Epic 4G General] ksizzle9:
We recently got a leak over at fascinate land. The GPS is FULLY fixed and working hopefully u guys can get in on this soon. I can lock anytime,anyplace to within 2 meters. Finally. Now if we could only get froyo before android 6.0 vagina comes out that would be great.
[Epic 4G General] ksizzle9:
Do u then root after you anatomical parts lead u too your destination?
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Yes, as a matter of fact.

And root, and root, and root, and root.... :D

I like to root.

I also like pie.

:D
[Epic 4G General] jojo08:
sounds promising, do you have a link this thread? i could not locate it...
[Epic 4G General] ksizzle9:
Its actually not out on the forums yet. There have been a couple of clean ROMs based off of it in irc however. Just waiting a couple of days before it is released for mass consumption
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Apparently the DK05 rom that just leaked tonight for the Epic gets AMAZING GPS performance. Like near instant locks, 8 ft accuracy indoors with 9 satellites connected. We will see if that is a fluke or not and if it still has the cache issues in the next few days though.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
If the gps worked I would be able to really be happy with this phone. The battery finally lasts all day.... etc.. here's to hoping.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] montyx:
Hello,

I have an issue with my Motorola Milestone. I can't authenticate with any kind of applications to the Facebook. I have problems with the following apps:

SyncMyPix

Full Caller ID

JustPictures!

These applications can't authenticate to the Facebook. When I try in every case just got the browser, or the webkit (maybe) window, and just loading and loading...

Please help me out. I use the original 2.1-update1 firmware. I can't root, or mod this phone, because this is a company phone.

Thank you very much for your advices in advance.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] awia:
me too... With Pulse news reader and with beejive. When I try to add the facebook account to beejive, for example, the browser opens automatically and open my facebook profile, but don´t ask me for the permissions for the application and I can't add the facebook account chat in the beejive...

almost the same problem with de pulse news reader... when I try to publish some news in my facebook wall trough PULSE, it doesn´t ask me for the permissions to publish in my wall and directly open my facebook profle in a browser!!!

I did the reg hack to get Froyo a while back and now I want to update to the official UK Froyo (pref O2).

Iv already done an update but I think its the nordic version. :(

Any way I can do this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] toffeedan:
Hi, Same happened with me. I had JPA too, so had to do another reg hack toget JPO.

I did this,

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\]

"LocalVer"="1.5.3.10103.100"

You need to make sure you are using an old version of kies.

oficial update for Spain

Same problem here. Mine was originally branded (Movistar - Spain) with product code XEC.

Any spanish user could tell me which PDA/PHONE/CSC and product code I must use to fool kies and get the oficial update?

By the way, if I do that, will I get a Samsung Froyo or a Movistar branded firmware with all the crap inside?

[Droid Eris Android Development] DoubleByte:
I know that you've probably all heard people grumbling about excessive battery drain while using Exchange.

Apparently, there is a problem with certificate validation and an infinite loop trying to validate them if it fails, hence the battery drain.

This is supposedly the patch to fix that. I myself wouldn't have a clue as to what to do with this, but maybe you do. Anyway, here is the link to the patch for what it's worth.

Hey Guys,

i cannot fix this Problem.

I was trying to replace the Battery Icons from the OLD framework-res.apk to the NEW framework-res.apk.

The problem is: Everytime i replace it, the Battery Icon disappear in the Statusbar totaly :-(

Maybe someone can help me and add this Battery Icons (0-100-FULL & Charge Battery) from the OLD Fram.work to the NEW framework??

I made this a tousand times bevor with other frameworks, and this OLD battery Icons but this time, it wont work :-(

The OLD framework-res.apk is from JPM

The NEW framework-res.apk is from JPA

I will Donate 10 EUR imediatly over paypal for a working NEW framework-res.apk

with the Battery-Icons from the OLD one!!!

Maybe someone have time and wanna make some pocketmoney :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Borky_16:
Here you have it for free...!! :)

I´ve only transverd the Battery.. nothing other ok?

I used not the New File i used the battery mod.. is there any other Framework diferenz to the stock?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] BMWpokerAce:
Hey Borky:

Do you have ICQ? My number is: 453599697

Yes there are many other diff. Icons witch are not in the stock framework.

Thats why i gave you the framework that i themed.

Please write on icq. i can explain u.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Borky_16:
Ok i don´t have ICQ.. i know what to do will be ready in 5 minutes..

Should be ready now :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] BMWpokerAce:
Sorry but your file wont work.

i get the right battery icon but everything else is wrong.

For example:

the taskmanager show me now, when holding the home button (instead of Taskmanager he show me Data connection)

Or when i push the power button the power off button is written: Sound is off

And so on......

I replaced it back with my modded framework.

My NEW framework i posted in my first post is perfect exept of the Battery icon. but thats ok. I have to live with a new one :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Borky_16:
What the ****.. i´m sorry.. :( Whi i also transferd your Icons and so on.. and the Battery,but whi.. sorry.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] magote:
You wanted the OLD framework ported to the NEW framework, right?

Try the attached file please ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tragusman:
If your using jpa just use this theme from the themes and apps forum "[THEME] Clean TW Lockscreen Mod" it works a treat and all i did was changed all the battery pngs to the ones i wanted like the circle battery it was the only bat mod i found that worked for jpa all others i had the same probs as you..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] BMWpokerAce:
sorry magote:

with your file the same problem like my trying.

The battery icon disappear tottaly.

I think i give it up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ADeadlySpoon:
Could I ask how? Just copy from one framework-res.apk to the other?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tragusman:
Firstly its always a good idea to have another launcher installed like launcher pro just in case something goes wrong you can use lp to get back and fix it. yes its just a matter of replacing the framework-res using rootexplorer then reboot phone this mod changes battery icon and gives you a lock screen without the "swipe screen thingy" on it and as i said if you dont like the battery icons and want the circle one for example just change the pngs from another battery mod theme that you like..:)

Can't accept a donation, I didn't really do anything.

Opened your apk file with winrar, and extracted the drawable-hdpi-v4 folder. I then found a %age battery mod, from Kalpik's thread, and downloaded a XWJPA mod file from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8606008&postcount=895

I then replaced the files from the drawable-hdpi-v4 in your OLD rom and placed them in the framework-res.apk file I downloaded.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtrab:
@stridger:

first, thanks for recompiling

second, have you been able to run it ?? is it working for you (Euro D-Z) ??

Guys does this mean both (Euro and Bell-NAM) share THE SAME KERNEL ??

This would be great news, opening the path for firmware swap, aka "debranding"

:D

.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stridger:
Yes. Running it right now.

looks like it, yes.

This would depend on other things, the kernel version does not say much about compatibility of ROMS, though it could be an indicator. The question is whether the signing keys are the same, what Radio and HBOOT version they run etc. But it would be easy for somebody to find out by simply flashing a European ROM.

A little more detail please

Sorry, I'm still a little new. I have temp root from Visionary. But can some one tell me the command line for

1.copying the file to the data/local folder

2.running "insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko" as root

Any help would be appreciated.

my adb skills are low

Thanks

Edit.

Sorry let me rephrase my question. What i'm not understanding is the following.

1. Is temp root enough

2. If so, when they say run as root, do i need to enter rootshell or can i just run the file through adb if temp root is set on phone.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtrab:
Search for "adb tutorial"

There's a couple of short, nice ones
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mxthor3:
Yes temp root is enough.

1.Download one of the free Terminal Emulators..

2.Enable USB Debugging then run Visionary to root the phone.

3.Run your Terminal Emulator and type in 'su' then enter. A little popup screen should come up stating 'Terminal Emulation has been given SuperUser Permission'

4. Make sure that you've copied vision_oc.ko to your sdcard.

5. Change directory into your sdcard and copy the file to /data/local.

su (If you haven't already)

cd /sdcard

cp vision_oc.ko /data/local

cd /data/local

insomd vision_co.ko

Then you can run SetCPU (Buy this program, it's worth the $1.99) and update all your settings..

Try

insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko

you have to turn off wifi calling using the button at the bottom of the main screen in the app.
