[Galaxy S I9000 General] ox_eye:
Hello all,

I am using Froyo XXJPO on my Galasy I9000. My problem is, that I cant get a GPS fix. But I can see 9 satellites if I use a GPS test tool.

Any idea what I can try? Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bynar010:
Well this is a first, someone having a gps problem.....you tried any of the million suggestions already posted?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rogo-1:
While it's true that GPS problem has been discussed at lengths, people normally complain about poor accuracy and intermittent fix.

OP here is talking about another problem which I now experience myself since upgrading to Froyo. Quite often, SGS sees plenty satellites with SNR above 30, but just doesn't use them. At the same time and place my friend's Nexus sees less satellites but gets a fast and sure fix with them. This seems to be a driver problem in Froyo, not a hardware issue.

Edit: Forgot to mention that SGS usually gets the fix eventually, it just takes up to 15 minutes sometimes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bynar010:
No fix issues have been done to death as well. Normally sorted by dicking around with your supl settings in the hidden menu.

Gps is just ****e on this thing, hope one of the solutions works for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Get GPS Status (from the market)

Reset and redownload A-Gps from the menu (menu, tools, Manage A-GPS State)

Retry and tell us how it goes
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rogo-1:
It was the first thing I tried as soon as this issue appeared.

Doesn't make much difference if any.

By the way, on Eclair GPS worked just great for me (with JM7, that is. Before JM7 it barely worked at all).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jehan1:
I got the exact same issue, I can see like 8-10 sattelites with plenty of +30db and can't get a fix. My TomTom gps from 3 years old only sees 4-5 but gets instant fix.

Before I was on JP2 and this didn't happen > it fixed fast and sees the same amount of sats.

However, I must say that accuracy is great, when I do get a fix, accuracy goes up to 16 feet within the minute ands stays that way.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
can you look into the LBS settings and tell me what is the accuracy used?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ox_eye:
In my first tool I have written something about "GPS test tool". This GPS test tool is GPS Status. If I download A GPS data again make no chenges. Just a lot of satellites wihtout fix.

Do you mean me? What do you mean with LBS settings?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Well, to both

LBS Menu: *#*#1472365#*#*

Standalone + "Hot Start" + Accuracy More than 15 + "Automatic" in SUPL settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rogo-1:
Actually, it's now *#3214789650#	(since Froyo or late Eclair ROMs)

I'm using accuracy 30 now. Was testing it with 50 some time ago with no noticeable difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Weird, and it was working before right?

Have you hard reseted the device prior and after the rom upgrade and cleared the caches?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ox_eye:
Yes, of course.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bazrippa:
when i try to access this LBS menu in froyo i hit the final * key then it all disappears and no menu pops up.....

What am i doing wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] forcedv:
Same problem here.

GPS was great and dead-on accurate on 2.1 (O2 UK official firmware) and now it rubbish (O2 official froyo).

This is not a hardware issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Korshar:
same problem here, just that there are no values in gps test (time is always 00:00 as well as all others and the compass is jumping back and forth.. the day before yesterday before i've had used faster fix it worked great =( ) anyone knows how to fix without reflashing?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jehan1:
Weird, I got the exact same firmware as a collegue and he gets a fix way faster than me, he even sees sats inside our officebuilding (I see none).

However, using the 3214789650 code and doing the Get Position test, he gets a weird orange text where I just get regular information.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pramathesh:
This might be because of your colleague having sensors enabled for GPS
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jehan1:
Nice!

Tried enabling this, and now I also see sats inside :)
[Android Apps and Games] sleepydaze:
Hi guys, wasn't sure where to post this. (Move if required).

But I've been having problems with this app call logging on the 'My Calendar' from HTC Sense (HTC Legend Unrooted 2.1) instead of the designated Calendar.

Is there a way to get around this problem? I've tried re-adding it onto the Calendar but it's only the default HTC Calendar 'My Calendar'. It's a little frustrating as I can't view it on the web, only on my phone defeating the purpose of what I intended.
[Android Apps and Games] MLonon:
I created a special calendar called Phone Calls in GCal (I am assuming you use GCal), synced that calendar with the phone then went into CallTrack and set Phone Calls as the calendar to use. This the best option because you can unsync Phone Calls calendar from your phone but still have CallTrack update to Phone Calls. That way you can continue to track the call without cluttering up your calendar views. Hope that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] sleepydaze:
No I have a separate calendar for it which I assign but it insists to assign itself to HTC's default 'My Calendar' on sense.
[Android Apps and Games] michaelsee:
I am using this CallTrack app too on my Galaxy S and created a new calendar call "Phone Calls" to track all the calls. However though it seems like I can see all call logs on my Galaxy S "Phone Call" calendar, I cannot seem to sync them onto my main Google Calendar, i.e. if I login to my Gmail through a PC and open up the calendar, it only shows the "Phone Calls" calendar without any entries. Can anyone confirm if this is normal or is this a bug? If I have to reset the Galaxy S and reload all the apps and settings, will the "Phone Call" calendar still shows the historical entries?

I'm fairly certain I'm about to get beat down for this, but I've spent a while now trying to get this set up, and looking through guides and this is making me feel really stupid.

Trying to get adb/sdk going, uninstalled the usb driver my computer already had for my x10 when I plug it in, tried downloading other files from google.. nothing I follow in these guides are working for me. Anyone direct me to a guide that has the files I need for this phone, and how to do this

I'm trying to learn, don't eat me

Again I'm sorry
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jame_2d:
hi friend,

Did you know that HTC Evo 4G working with GSM world wide or not ?

How to unlock it ?

James
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] go4the1:
The evo does not have a gsm antenna, so no it will not work on any gsm network.

It's not a matter of "unlocking" it, but rather a simple hardware limitation. CDMA and GSM operate on different radio frequencies, and therefore require different hardware.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_TX:
The HTC Desire HD is the GSM equivalent of the Evo. Samsung also has the Galaxy S series of phones which are somewhat comparable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadrian.arellano90:
I seen people making it pocket and recently people making it boost mobile and everything is working fine i was surprise i wonder how they did it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggjohnson2k:
Boost mobile is a CDMA network which is the same frequencies that Sprint uses. Boost is also owned by Sprint so that may be why you are seeing that. In the U.S. CDMA Networks are U.S. Cellular, Sprint, Boost, Verizon, Cricket. But many of those use different frequencies and all CDMA devices do not use SIM Cards (GSM) unless theyare Quad-Band World Phones which the EVO 4G is not.

Sorry :( :(
[Droid Incredible General] !-Psychild-!:
What's an unsafe battery temp?....I was using Wireless Tether with MIUI and noticed my phone was hot, I looked and it said 44 *C and 111*F is this bad??
[Droid Incredible General] ufvj217:
im running MIUI as well, and when i use wireless tethering for a while, itll get up to 42C+, but my SetCPU profile will set the CPU to 245mhz when the temp hits 42C or above.
[Droid Incredible General] !-Psychild-!:
So I'm guessing 42 is the max temperature to run your phone? or is that still unsafe?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Skaldinho:
Today, not for the first time, my alarm didnt turn on when it was supposed to (yes phone was in normal mode). I had it set for repeating on Thursday at 7:45 gmt and nothing. My roommate also didnt hear anything.

Its very annoying and also very dangerous as my exam term is quickly approaching. Anyone had same problems and managed to repair it? Or is there any different app for alarm?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sunandajit:
This really never happened to till I updated to 2.1! After I updated to 2.1, the very first day my alarm didn't turn on. But fortunately it never happened again!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] FATTman:
since I updated to 2.1 never happens to me :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] reconpt:
this as been related with task killers

if u use any u should put alarm on ignore list
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10bravia:
1'm still on 1.6 donut... haven't experienced this.

i use it every day to wake me up for work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Divr:
Use alarmdroid. Search the market. It's so much better than the stock. There's flip to snooze (works pretty great) Speaking clock that speak what time it is on top of the alarm ringtone. :D and many other.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Skaldinho:
That could be it. I use one, but dont have auto-kill. I placed alarm on ignore, hope it will help.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gammexane:
I don't have that issue, but 1 or 2 times since I updated to 2.1, the snooze didn't work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ambrosiosanchez:
3rd time here. No task killers.

Definitely snooze is not working properly
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sunandajit:
I have figured out, the problem was due to Task-Killer only.:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ambrosiosanchez:
My problem is sure not dues to task killers and is exactly as in here,

http : / / talk.sonyericsson.com/message/15832

alarm suddenly decides to snooze after 1h10min instead of 10 min, which in practice is not to snooze... Now I'm using alarm droid
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ponocni:
Use Alarm Master and your problem is solved.

I had similar issue, but whit this app everything work perfect.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] VooDoo`:
I can advice AlarmDroid: http://www.netzpurist.de/2010/11/alarmdroid/

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ppirate:
AlarmDroid

And I second (or is it n'th already) AlarmDroid. I was using it already in 1.6 and it was the first app I installed on 2.1. Does what it has to do and has the right options!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
First off, this is VERY early beta, nightly build test stuff...

There are many bugs, gps doesn't work.

Thanks to Cyanogen and team.

Thanks to Aery for the compiled build.

Thanks to glitterballs for the kernel.

I take not credit for this, except putting it together in a single flashable zip for you guys.

If you don't know what CyanogenMod is, you should probably sell your android device and get an iPhone ;)

This is flashable thru clockworkmod / rom manager.

Flash Cognition first, enable voodoo, boot up completely, then flash this.

Have fun guys...

Is there a functional 850mhz modem in this? :)
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Hell yeah - woop woop -anyone else too excited to sleep?! :)
[Captivate Android Development] breakformula:
I'm a poor college kid who needs sleep.. This doesn't help at all... Well, I just flashed it anyway. Loving it. Thanks DG
[Captivate Android Development] mac208x:
Yeah...i knew it....
[Captivate Android Development] theMaginator:
Hmm that's weird when I flash via clockwork it starts then aborts because of an error in the sdcard\CM6.zip
[Captivate Android Development] quietglow:
Yup, same here. Error includes the above and "(Status 0)"
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
Nice work DG! As eugene says, community = progress.

Ehh...just thought I'd ask, but you didn't just drop the kernel into a zip right? There is a step where /data /dbdata etc are converted from RFS to ext4 right?
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
I would try this right now if my internal SD wasn't out of space. Looking forward to this!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using the ad-free XDA 1.2.1 App.
[Captivate Android Development] Athailias:
What worked for me.

One click to stock, boot up and master clear.

Odin to jpm, then installed sentiron's kernel (using sheps jpm rom might work too)

Used the sentiron kernel to load DG's CM6.1 rom file.

For those of us in a 850 megahertz area this didnt work for me. I think I needed to start with jg8 modem...
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
Have you had 850 working before? You need to enable 850 before Odin to JPM.
[Captivate Android Development] rob989_69:
How can you enable it before JPM?? Every time I've tried accessing that particular setup on a non i9000 it won't let me in. That's why I stopped messing with them.
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
Look around man, there have to be at least a half dozen i9000 ROMs where people are successfully using the 850 band. If I recall you had to enable it on JI6 or maybe it was JG8. I only had to do it once and it was...a month or so ago by now.
[Captivate Android Development] InsaneJester17:
This seems super snappy! But, why is there no Market app?

Also FYI, after first boot it would not recognize my external SD card until I ejected it and replaced it. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Ranatsu:
its listed under nightly builds for galaxy s

[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
as with all CM rom releases, it does not include google apps. head over to cyanogenmod.com forums to grab them
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
So we do need to flash jpm first before this zip

Posted from my Captivate running Cognition v2.3 with SetiroN's i9000 SuperOptimized kernel (yes it works fine)
[Captivate Android Development] InsaneJester17:
Oh I didn't know that. I'm trying to hunt down the apps on that forum but so far no luck. Thanks for the info!
[Captivate Android Development] mattpall:
DG comes through again!!!one111!!

Thanks again DG,

My question is, after we flash your update.zip, will we be able to update in the same fashion as the GT-i9000 users, using aery's files or will we need the next build to be "captivated"?

Does the 850 band work on this? What modem is included?
[Captivate Android Development] sublimaze:
Mmmmm, sounds tasty. I'll try this next time my battery is at 100%

Dropped from my smoking fast Captivate (Darky's Raw Steel v3.0)
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
I want to know this too.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
If you update with a full ROM, you will need to replace the kernel with a "captivated" kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
that did not answer my question. does this build use a captivate modem and kernel or i9000 modem and reoriented kernel?

Can we use the bell 2.2 modem when the fw comes out later this month?
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
Thanx designgears for putting this all together. I will have to try this out this weekend.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I just dropped the zImage in, worked fine, checked it again to make sure.

Nope, I flashed from stock JF6
[Captivate Android Development] Squeak22:
What modem did you use in the package?
[Captivate Android Development] tiger4j:
http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-hdpi-20101025-signed.zip

saw someone looking into this: the Google apps add on aka gaaps. :)

this link is from the i9000 cm 6.1 op.

btw...thanks DG for your helpful hobby ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
mmmmm.....cake
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Anyone know of a nice theme to put over this? This is way to light of a theme, I'm looking for something dark.
[Captivate Android Development] uiskibum:
i take it you haven't looked through all the cyanogenmod settings items

so..

Settings->CyanogenMod Settings->User interface->Tweaks extras

select the STOCK_Black and boom, black.

reboot and YMMV
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
ok no one has really given an answer. does this flash the modem and kernel as well? im confused. im in an 850 area and if i cant get this band then its pointless for me to even flash this. do we need to flash another modem? another kernel? im assuming not since people have had success with this rom
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
I have no personal experience with this, but the method to enable the 850 band with a i9000 Froyo modem is to flash to stock Eclair first, then flash Bell Vibrant JG8 Eclair modem, which does have 850 band. Then you flash to whatever Froyo i9000 ROM you want. The modem will get replaced but 850 band will be left behind, that you can then manually re-enable. I suspect that this process will get simpler when the Bell Vibrant gets Froyo (announced today to start any time soon), the modem from which we can use as default on i9000 Froyo based ROMS.

[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
thanks for the quick reply....so for anyone who flashed this did it hang at the att screen for a really long time?
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
But what where your partitions on before flashing? If they were on ext4 before you flashed, it's not surprising it's worked well for you but not for others.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
yeah, I flashed from straight stock, and I'm hung up at the Galaxy S screen. tried once more with JF6 flash, Master Clear and got the same thing.
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
Gah...did I really write "what where your partitions" instead of "what were..."?

Anyways, you CANNOT flash to this from stock. If you're on Voodoo or a ULFK with (ie one of setiron's) a=ext4, I think you should be able to flash this without problem, but, as always, standard disclaimers apply. If you want to flash from stock, you'll have to do it at least partly via Odin, but only after you follow Aery's instructions (which are linked in my kernel post).

@ DG - Please update OP accordingly.
[Captivate Android Development] rob989_69:
I have looked around, I know how to add it, just doesn't seem to work. No data, no cell service, period. Oh well.
[Captivate Android Development] sdotbrucato:
I flashed right over the latest Cog and my 850 band is working great... I had flashed to Cog after not being able to get 850mhz to work properly on my own...
[Captivate Android Development] sportedwood:
2nd that, flashed to cog first for that.
[Captivate Android Development] bobbydsiu:
which cog ROM were you on?
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
so you flashed to cog and from there you were able to flash right to CM? I tried from stock and i get hung at the galaxyS screen. Did you have to disable voodoo first?
[Captivate Android Development] geokhentix:
Anyone get Swype working? I've tried installing the .apk, moving over libSwypeCore.so, and all user files; it continues to tell me it was registered for use on another device and will work with restricted features.

Late note; yay, finally CM! It's a huge step forward for all Galaxy S users.
[Captivate Android Development] darkamikaze:
dg delivers :]. can't wait to get home.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
No, with the way the update is packaged, you will need Voodoo enabled. You need your data to be at Ext4 for this to take properly.
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
I can't get a hold of the apk. Can you link it for me and I'll give it a shot.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
how do you guys know that 850 is working. if it is though, i think its because you came from a rom with a NON-hsupa modem and thats what your using now with CM.

anybody who wants to install this this is exactly how i had to do it. i flashed this last night when glitter's kernel first became available. if you want working hsupa AND working 850 band do this-

-first, flash stock with jf6 odin 1 click.

-flash the JG8 modem with full odin- theres a link to the modem in the bottom of my thread HERE

-now you need to flash a rom JPM or higher (for modem). just to make it easy, heres the link again to my rom with the JPP modem HERE

-flash my rom with clockwork

-you need to download the things you need from the original thread here

(download initial kernel, CM 6.1 and google add on-also download glitterballs kernel from his thread but DONT put it on your SD)

-put cm6.1 and the google add on .zip on your internal SD

-put phone in download mode and flash "initial kernel" from CM thread with full odin-put it in pda slot, no pit file and no repartition

-reboot your phone into recovery and do a nandroid backup. when the backup is done while your still in recovery, do a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache.

=NOW you can flash the CM6.1 rom that you put on your phone earlier. when it boots your screen will be off 90 degress. put your phone back into download mode

-when its in download mode, flash glitterballs kernel with full odin. it will only take about 5 sec.

when your done all this, go back into clockwork recovery and flash the google apps .zip if you want to (for market and stuff like that)
[Captivate Android Development] joedon3:
Damn this ROM is fast! Kudos to the CyanogenMOD team and glitterballs for the kernel. Thanks DG for the easy packaging. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
*#0011# send

itll tell you if the 850 band is operational under the WCDMA band selection section
[Captivate Android Development] Squeak22:
This keycode only works on Samsung roms, not cyanogen. Run it after you have done the JPM or JPP modem flash to ensure that 850 is operational.
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
strange, *#0011# doesn't work for me anymore, now i get the following error message after the prompt that USSD is running:

Connection problem or invalid MMI code.

Never had that before....
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
that makes sense as to why it doesn't work for me...

overall this ROM is nice, even with the few bogs here and there...very slick and fast...

now to get BLN/OC/UV/HSPA working .... :D
[Captivate Android Development] iamamp3pimp:
and GPS!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Jhors2:
Is this going to be regularly updated like the Cognition ROM DG? I know you have a lot on your plate and it'd be difficult to do that but I love everything you put out, it'd be awesome if both of them can be kept up to date!
