3 button fix works for me fine.

megaupload seems to be working again.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
You are right, I lost 3 button combos after I flash to stock first time. Since then I have been using stock with 3 button fix.

I did not see any value of flashing the image in the thread since my GPS has always been ok - whenver I am on stock or upto Cog 9.3 roms. DO I need to try this image? I am guessing that performance will be same I see when I am on stock or should I expect same GPS performance I get from Garmin or even my HTC phone if I use the image?

UPDATE 6******

Here is the My Tracks for the third day of testing. GPS accuracy does not appear to be deteriorating and have consistent results from previous tracks. This is looking more and more promising by the day. Comments are welcome!

[Captivate Android Development] draw29:
The GPS on my Captivate has been flaky since day 1. It seldom is able to lock onto any satellites, especially indoors. When it does lock on, the accuracy is terrible. I've tried flashing multiple roms and applying suggested fixes with mostly disappointing results. I flashed your system image per instructions given. The GPS is now to able to lock more consistently while outdoors, but the moving accuracy is as bad, if not worse, than before. Sorry, I wish I had better results to report.
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
Not sure if you reported already, Can you post your satellite SnR values?
[Captivate Android Development] danquirk2000:
draw29: you need to post your My Tracks data. Just saying how it is inaccurate is not helpful in ruling out this system.img file as not being an improvment. Also are you sure you did this correctly?
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I believe you can see see them if you click on last link (Dave 3 track 3 (End)) and scroll down. I see them in 35-40 range
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
That appears to be an elevation chart. Satellite signal levels (SnR) are not reported by my tracks. It needs to be manual read from other apps.
[Captivate Android Development] jhnstn00:
What's wrong with you? Crap out of the box is not acceptable. I needed it this past weekend when out of town and it crapped out on me. Couldn't get a lock driving or stationary.
[Captivate Android Development] draw29:
I did some additional testing and the results are much better. I went for a 30 mile ride on primary and secondary roads and did not lose a satellite lock once. Accuracy was much better also, especially on major roads and highways. I frequently deviated from the the route I plotted and it was able to re-route, but not nearly as good as my Garmin. Quick turns and dense streets especially confuse it. And especially if forced to re-route. However, based on this drive the GPS performance is better than it's ever been on this Captivate. I did not My Tacks this drive, but I may do that later.
[Captivate Android Development] danquirk2000:
Thank you mattbeau for your thorough comparison to other JH7 ROMs. Please keep us all posted on your findings. I would like to say again I highly encourage others who try this to post their results. The more data that is collected the more we can eliminate. Science is based on these principals and if we ever want a fix data MUST be collected.
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
BOSE sounds like a $10 radio to me.

I'll try this out in a bit and try and get a lock. Using My Tracks will have to wait until later.
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
I loaded it up. I didn't get a lock at all at first. I went into settings and told it to use wireless. It then took me about 2 minutes to start locking onto the satellites.

After about 10 minutes I never locked onto more than 5 satellites. My accuracy was 32ft.
[Captivate Android Development] mattbeau:
after comparing your system.img to my system.img i created after flashing back to jf6 and using kies mini to get to jh7. i cannot find any differences, both files have the same file size and all files have the same checksums. so essentially they are identical. back to the drawing board i guess.
[Captivate Android Development] coyon:
i loaded the backup,

left the google maps on for 30mins, it never got a lock.

thanks you for your backup files tho! much appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] gsx-r:
Sadly, some people loaded the backup ROM image and got nothing helpful.

Something weird here??? May be hardware issue?

May be it causes by GPS antenna sensitive. Please consider devices with the same ROM (of course), at the same time, in the same place and LOG the SNR value. I think we will have the answer.

Can we collect some Captivate phones for a small experiment??? Let's find out the mysterious reason.

To danqirk2000: i heard about Cog 2.4 was very bad GPS for many people installed it. Could you please install the Cog 2.2 beta9.1.3 or Cog 2.3beta3 wich is giving my Cappy a quite good GPS lock than other Cog ROM (but acurracy is not good) and post the result. Waiting for you man!
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
That's why I asked OP repeatly for SNR values. He seems ignore that request.

My Cappy with JI6 Has working GPS

I am using the Leaked JI6. I hated this release due to the fact that it had quite a few bugs that i did not like. BUT My GPS works flawlessly.

For ME GPS works FLAWLESSLY on JI6, Unlike JF6 which would not even get one satellite to lock. Knowing this I am pretty sure this is a software based issue and not hardware.

I have 9+ satellites lock on in under 30 seconds. Moving 90Mph down the highway and at a dead stop. and my accuracy is within 5 ft most of the time.

And i have managed to work out most of the bugs that bothered me using advice and guides from various other forums.

This probably does not help at all but if its working for me, maybe it will work for someone else. :D

EDIT1: I Just got back from making a good 12 mile trip to get a good mytracks image. Its rather cloudy out right now so that could explain the couple of off road portions that you see on the map. but all in all its damn close and it works well enough that i can use it.

Well since I cannot post images or links because I do not have enough posts. You can go here to see my tracks.

www jpegs-place com/mytracks.jpg

Just put the dots where you think they go.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
ITs a nice try by the OP.....But My tracks look like that on all the ROMS. None are perfect on the middle of the road. My issue is sometimes the lock may take awhile. But I have NEVER...ever made a wrong turn because of the directions.

In fact the voice directions (without looking at the map) were perfect in every case. All turns are warned in accurate miles and close to the turn and AT the turn. I have made 100 mile trips and 20 minute trips and never did the GPS direct me wrong.

Tracks doesn't look pretty, Navigation will overshoot on the the MAP but VOICE is always accurate, If it looses signal it says so and locks again....Like my Nokia and my Garmin did and does.

I think people are LOOKING at the tracking and getting bent out of shape. Not many have mentioned the voice directions being inaccurate,

I cannot say the GPS is perfect because it is not VISUALLY. and sometimes takes a few minutes to lock. But I can say you will find your destination every time IF you get a lock and IF you have a direct line of sight to the sky and it is not on the center console or in your pocket.

I appreciate anyone who is trying to solve the GPS issue. But for me anyway the results he is getting are the same as I have received from every Froyo ROM. Some call that "broke" I have never had the voice GPS get me lost.

I call it far less then perfect but it is as advertised...the phone has GPS.

I made a 16 minute drive last week through a drive through and into a parking lot. Turned on GPS tracks while enroute. Zoom in on the top of the track and you will see the drive through bank U turn and turn into a parking lot.......

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=U...08872221234633.0004957515d99c42076a3&t=h&z=13

Does the visual GPS get jumpy...you bet. Is it consistent? Nope. But if it locks it WILL get you to your destination. Its just not pretty, and VOICE nav has been perfect for me on a 45 minute trip I made to a location i NEEDED GPS to find.

Zoom of last part of 16 minute track....Cog Rom doesn't matter
[Captivate Android Development] _NULL_:
I am pretty much happy as long as I can hit the my location button and it gives me my location. then i can just look at the damn map and navigate myself, You know they same way people have done it for centuries. So I am happy with my current setup. Yours looks to be VERY accurate.... That is nice. Mine is close enough for me like i said. I am just trying to help people have a somewhat functional GPS.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I'm not sure if this is significant or not, but seems maybe related to the MyTracks poor tracking.

I noticed that the route line on the maps when I am navigating runs a bit off the road often. Now, the route line has nothing to do with where we are at any given time.

I even changed the view to Satellite, and sure enough, when I zoomed in on that, it too had me on wrong side of road, or off the road, like on the right shoulder, etc.

That's really the same problems I've seen in MyTracks when I use it.

Seems too coincidental to me to not be significant to that problem.

I am at the point that the only thing I really care about is if it keeps me on teh right road or not. With the Jupiter6 changes, I pretty much accomplish that; and with CoPilot, I never am on the wrong road.

Keeping an eye on this thread though.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
As long as the program keeps you on the right place even if its assuming, it sohuld be usable.

My bro has a hacked GPS and he used a program on it similar to My Tracks and even his dedicated GPS will show him going on the opposite side of the road some times but the software is designed to "correct" those errors and the user never knows that it happened.
[Captivate Android Development] storm717:
Hey guys, just thought I'd add my 2 cents of info to this thread.

Since I got my second captivate (swapped it when i found the 3-button combo didn't work when I was still under my 30-day warranty), the GPS has been perfect at all times. I get locks within seconds when outside, 10-15 seconds when inside (when using foursquare, etc).

A while ago I ran some MyTracks recordings... they seem really good imo. This was taken with the phone in my backpack while I was on a motorcycle.

I was in a friend's car the other day in the backseat and had google maps running-- it also looked great still.

The only "unique" thing compared to probably everyone else in this thread is that my phone is 100% stock-- no rooting, loading a new ROM/kernel, no lag-fix, no GPS fixes... nothing. The only stuff on my phone are apps from the market.

[Captivate Android Development] jonbar87:
What are the settings in lbstestmode for this specific phone that was using the JH7 Firmware? I've got a buddy who has a captivate and we cannot seem to get the GPS working. We've rooted it, installed cognition, reverted back to stock, updated to JH7....still to no avail. We then got a replacement captivate from AT&T (JH7) but it was the same story. We changed the positioning server to supl.nokia.com, port 7275, "network based" and that helped, but it still wasn't perfect. Since changing these settings around did help, that leads us to think it may not be a hardware issue but just that the right settings need to be entered into the lbstestmode options...

Are there any other positioning servers that may work better? So far I'm aware of:

1. Automatic Configuration

h-slp.mnc410.mcc310.pub.3gppnetwork.org

??????port?????

terrible gps

2. supl.google.com

port 7276

works ok

3. supl.nokia.com

port 7275

(has to be in "Network" with this one)

works best, but still not perfect
[Captivate Android Development] volentib:
It's just f'ing flaky.

I have, right now, 8 sat locks in my living room. I normally have jack ****.

I can go outside in my vehicle (and I did just 5 minutes ago - with the storm cover that's over Baton Rouge right now - 1Feb11) and only got 6 locks.

None are over 24 dBHZ. When I'm driving, most times I can't even get a lock for 3-5 minutes.

Yet, when I'm sitting in my apartment, it usually shows me w/i 5 yards of where I'm sitting.

I'm flashing latest Cognition w/i a week, so I'll post if something changes, but I think it's just a matter of GPS luck. My Magellan unit has NEVER failed to get a lock here, or misguide me.

Update - SUPL settings are:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl4ckpheniX:
Hello folks,

I am some what new to the Android OS, I have a vibrant that has been updated with mini kies to the JI6 2.1 ECLAIR. I am anxious to try out Froyo. I thought I would wait awhile until the Devs could work out some bugs. I think that has happened by now. So I have three questions.

1. what is the most stable custom Froyo based ROM I can flash on my vibrant?

2. Is there a Froyo based ROM that already has mobile AP enabled for the vibrant?

3. Where (if possible) can I download a stock ROM of the vibrant? (Before you tell me to make one, know that mine is not stock, I have installed OCLF, and the JI6 update)

thanks for any help that can be given,

This is my preference, seems very stable and can be a daily driver. I imagine its going to have an update soon, we'll see. I don't like TW, if you do, perhaps try another version (eugenes or TWs Obsidian).

http://board.teamwhiskey.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=181

Mobile AP should be in there, Im charging so I can't check.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buggzero:
-- Wait the link was to a "True Stock" 2.1 rom, are you saying that is your current preference over Froyo?

-- Your aversions to TW... is that you don;t like them personally, or you do not like their roms?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^ HAHAA, Sorry, let me clarify:

I LOVE Team Whiskey. I HATE TouchWiz (TW).

The link is to Onyx. It is 2.2 without TW (TouchWiz). It flies on my Vibrant... no FCs, very stable. I imagine they are going to have an update soon but the good news is they are not wiping data now so you can flash R21, then R22 and not lose anything. If/when they release R23 I imagine that too will not wipe data so you can just flash right on top and not lose anything.

LauncherPro is more appealing to me, more customizable and it's faster. There is nothing I like about TW better than LP. I also hate scrolling left to right (I know there is an alt way, but LP is better for me). Look at the downloads/comments for Onyx (no TW) vs. Obsidian (the 2.2 version with touchwiz) and you will see an overwhelming majority prefer no TW.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl4ckpheniX:
So I installed bionics Obsidian 2.2 on my vibrant using Clockwork rom manager. Everything went smooth. It installed and booted just great, I really liked what I saw. Only problem I ran into was I had purchased a app before I flashed rom. After flash, it was gone.. not just off the phone but not in the market either. No big deal normally I would just go into market and click Downloads and there it would be. Not this time, cant even find it doing a search. I paid like $14 usd for it so I would like it. But its completely gone. Maybe it wont show it to me because of the new firmware?

Now, it is not there and my first instinct told me to re-flash... So I open clockwork and try and re-install. I locate file on SD.. But, instead of rebooting into clockwork, it reboots like its going to and reboots again but into standard recovery OS mode.

What would be the easiest way for me to re-flash this using a macbook?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binarysamurai:
Remember reading somewhere that the market installed was the european version so some paid apps would appear. However i can't seem to find the post that originally mentioned this issue. Anyone else remember if obsidian was using the european version of the market?

C to the L-O-T-O-R-I-O, U-S, you just, lay down slow.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buggzero:
If you have clockwork still installed (the answer is yes if you have a team whiskey rom loaded), if you get to the standard pre-loader, recovery mode, just select "reinstall packages..." That should get you into CwR

Just got onyx up on my phone, and damn.... You were 11O% correct about launcher pro.. Did you buy the full version?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larryvand:
Regarding apps... don't forget to get Titanium Backup and backup not only all your apps but also their data. I recommend the donated pro version for $5.99 which makes the backup/restore process completely painless and automatic. So after you flash a new rom if something like you describe happens you can just recover your app from your backup.
