[Captivate General] Dani897:
its not just my iphone. if it was then why did tom tom make such an elaborate dock with a better gps antenna and expect it to sell for $100+

im not the only one that had mediocre to poor iphone gps. my aunt had a 3g and a 3gs after her 3g got stolen and neither one was great.

maybe im the only one with a woring gps on the captivate. i dunno.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
I still could not get a GPS lock even with the new radio and the DK05 ROM was still to buggy for me. So I went back to stock then back to 4.2 release of Froyo. I needed the GPS so I flashed the radio to the DK05 release and got 12 Sats in just a few seconds. This was the only combination hat has worked for me. Maybe it's just a fluke but it works for me even after reboot. Just thought I would share. I don't know why the rom version would matter 4.2 and DK05 radio gives me orking GPS.

Hope this helps someone......
[Epic 4G General] herzzreh:
Well known fix for a well known bug. Don't use GPS for a few days, then try it and report back, please.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
I feel like there should be a flashing red line at the top of every forum post

"If you reboot your phone and your gps works, ITS NOT FIXED!"
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
I understand where your coming from but that's not what I was referring to. My point was that I could barely EVER get a GPS lock until now. I tried the "leaked GPS fix" in the other thread and if it worked it wouldn't after I rebooted the phone. I was simply reporting that with this combination of Radio and ROM that it worked very well. Before it would stop working when I rebooted but it locks right on now.

I am very aware the "Well known fix for a well known issue". This was different for me and I thought it might work for someone else still having issues.
[Epic 4G General] herzzreh:
I wasn't trying to be a **** or anything. What you did just forced a complete cache wipe and then a download of new data. Unless you use it daily and unless you have it set to cold start, I guarantee you that your issues will be back.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
No problem. I guess my whole point was I had done the cache wipes many times with no positive outcome. This was really the first time I was able to use the GPS on my phone. Maybe it was just coincidence but I tried the cache wipe and anything else I could find to get the GPS to lock and this was the only thing that ever worked for me.
[Epic 4G General] ramsestut:
No GPS satellites in view

I wanted to share since I have the same problem...

I am now on my third epic as the first two would not even see a satellite for anything. Not sure if anyone else may be this unlucky but the first two were definitely defective. Third one works like a charm.

I do work for Sprint, and I've seen how shoddy quality control can be for some of the devices, but it seems like they almost rushed these out of the factory. Only had two customers come in that actually required a replacement, as the others were just the standard GPS issues, but man is it frustrating for this kind of phone.

I remember when I got my original touch that didn't even have gps enabled yet! How many years old and even with froyo on it, gps works near instantly for all tests.

But anyway, just wanted to share as I don't know that everyone who has been having issues has verified if they are even seeing satellites available.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
Thanks. I was seeing 0/0 in GPS Status. No matter what I did I had nothing. I was swapped out a few times as well but for the capacitive buttons. I got it working pretty good now. Now I get 12/12 outside and like 7/7 inside. Stas seen/Sats locked
[Epic 4G General] Poryhack:
I'm unclear on which version is "froyo 4.2". Do you mean the DJ29 leak? NVM. I didn't put 2 + 2 together; you were referring to the 4.2 revision of leaked DJ29.

I'm basically in the same boat OP was, I'm flashed all the way up to the latest DK05 ROM and modem but GPS is still a crapshoot.

At least it's finally looking like the next OTA will for-sure fix the GPS problems. With Samsung supposedly never acknowledging the problem I was worried.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
From reading the anecdotal reports of uncontrolled testing here, I've seen no evidence of that at all. Maybe it's fixed, and maybe it isn't. You should still be worrried.

People are overcoming the novel problem particular to installing the leaked version. This problem, apparently an artifact of the way the leaked firmware is installed, was breaking GPS completely at the outset.

But that is not the same thing as saying that Samsung has fixed the longstanding GPS bug on the Epic. In fact, having the GPS work initially is a symptom perfectly consistent with that bug. (You can get the same effect just by doing of factory reset of your stock Epic running Eclair DI18.)

The Epic's GPS bug occurs over time, as the GPS almanac and ephemeris cache becomes out of date or corrupt. As far as I can see, no one running the leaked firmware has tested the use cases that can replicate the bug on the stock Epic.
[Epic 4G General] Poryhack:
I'm not doubting that this is a bug, but my Epic has NEVER been able to get quick and accurate locks, and I have tried after countless wipes. Unless it's just bad hardware there is more then one bug in play here.

The OP's situation seems near-identical to mine so I'm hopeful that trying this might actually have results.
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
First the fact that samsung hasn't acknowledge the problem is not "supposed" it is a documented fact. They refuse 100% to acknowledge the problem and in fact say on the record all GPS issues on Epic were fixed at release.

Second there is zero evidence that the next OTA will do anything for GPS on Epic, where do you even get the slightest indication that is the case?
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
the OP situation is totally different an yours, it has to do with flashing, which killed the GPS on many Epics. IE not an issue with time to first fix, interrmtant falure to fix, or accuracy, but a total killing of GPS.

The fix implemented restores GPS to the same function state as the rest of ours, generally working with some number of failures to flush cache and thereby no fix locaiton on occassion
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] funkymonkey:
Is there anyway to integrate Skype 3.0 with Sense 2.5 on Windows mobile 6.5? In order to view missed calls and messages from the main home tab screen. I am currently using CHT 2.0, so perhaps there is the possibility to use a widget or something.

Any ideas?

edit: Posted new apk from cm6.1 for the G2. Works flawlessly now.

Works on iced glacier deodexed rom. Not sure about stock rom, but I dont see why it wouldn't. Just delete the odex file as well when deleting Mms.apk

Found working apk at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=733567

reboot into recovery. Mount /system.

adb shell

rm /system/app/Mms.apk

exit

unmount /system from recovery

reboot.

adb install attached mms.apk (or move to sdcard and install with method of choice.)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] pklee:
is this the same apk found in the link? i think that apk is for Android 2.1... i'm trying to find the cyanogen mms.apk with all of the additional modifications.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] option94:
You're right. I got it working now. OP updated.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] oolunchbox:
would this method work with the vanilla contacts.apk as well? I absolutely hate the sense version of contacts/dialer and I cannot wait for CM6 to be ported to the MT4G. If i could have the vanilla mms and contacts/dialer the wait would be much more bearable.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] option94:
I'll try it and let you know.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] option94:
Phone.apk wont install and im getting lots of FC's. Any other apps you want to try?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] pklee:
does mms work? sms seems to work just fine but none of my test pictures are coming through
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] oolunchbox:
What would happen if I were to flash the gapps that Kmobs posted for CM6 over a rooted, s-off, stock ROM? I have a feeling best case nothing would work, worst case I'd get a bunch of force closes if the device were to boot at all. I've got a nandroid backup but I'm still hesitant. Anyone tried it to know what would happen?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] InGeNeTiCs:
if you've got a nandroid backup, there's nothing to worry about. Just do it.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] oolunchbox:
maybe I will tonite. I don't have any time for anything to go wrong today.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] hawaiian.monzta:
You will get the Google apps. And the only way you can get the android marketplace iz if you flash the gapps because it is not on the stock cm6. I flashed it and nothing went wrong and was very happy it installed android market automatically after you set up your Google account
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] oolunchbox:
so flashing the gapps used for CM6 over a rooted stock espresso ROM will replace the espresso/sense apps with the vanilla gapps?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] c-phresh:

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Matt105:
Gotten 3 force closes so far while typing texts to people (within the past 1.5 hour ... :/) and some buttons in settings cause force closes. doh.

Anyone know how to get back the sense mms or whatever? I forgot to make a back up (though I have one from a few weeks ago, I've just done other stuff since then). Doh!

edit: It seems that it force closes for me whenever I send a message, but the message goes through to the other person, so not too big of a deal I suppose.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Matt105:
Hey guys, can anyone post their Mms.apk that is stock from the sense ui? This vanilla Mms.apk is seriously screwed up. I keep getting texts from people saying that I am sending the same text like 10 times when I only sent it once. It force closes whenever I send a text and claims that it never went through. It also force closes when trying to go to settings. I forgot to make a nandroid right before doing this :(

Can anyone please help me out and post their stock Mms.apk? Or if I just backup my phone with Titanium and then wipe/restore it, would that fix it? I'm not quite sure what the command "rm" did from the instructions. Ah.. this is what I get for playing with fire, doh!

Am I the only one with these issues? Stock rom btw :/

EDIT: Ok I guess you can ignore the above. I uninstalled and reinstalled with the Mms.apk found in this thread (I guess I did the other thread for some reason) and it seems to work OK now. Thanks all for putting up with me! :p

[Android Software Development] bradleyw801:
That is awesome! I would pay $30 for this app. Yongzh has said he is working on it for android. He created many of the current emulators, and in my opinion, the best ones. I imagine that like the PSX4droid app he made, not all ROM's will work on it, but even if I could run just a few of my favorite classics. I am thinking GoldenEye, MarioKart 64, Starfox 64, and Zelda.

These emulators, plus an AOSP rom with bluetooth fixed, wiimote controller app. That would really pass time at work, on a plane, in a hotel, on vacation with the inlaws. I can't wait.
[Android Software Development] Forge94:
ZodTtd, the dev of psx4droid, is in the middle of making one.

A few days ago he posted on twitter saying that he is experiencing a bug where nothing shows up on the screen. I'd imagine once he solves this, a few tweaks will be made then he will probably hand it over to Yong Zhang for him to work his magic (control overlay,settings etc)

This is exactly what happened with psx4droid

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lusjash:
what is the problem?

I use 3.0.0.256 Skype for 4 month already and never had login problem - I never installed version 2.

And now i have my skype login info (which is in Application Data\Skype folder ) automaticaly copied to root folder from XDA_UC. You cando the same. Next time (after next HD) you will just need to install 3.0.0.256 to SD and and coy this folder back to root - things are done, this will automatically restore your login, password and other info!

The issues i face however are:

1: as you know the sound comes from loudspeaker, but it is curable by applications which control the sound output device (google TROKA2)

2: The application is overall laggy - there is a random time gap between the message typing and delivery.

3. the first time you run the application it should be over wifi (this is if you do not backup you account details), then you can use any connection type: activesync, gprs e.t.c,

Well, I've tried the steps indicated and it works but...

... you don't need to install version 2.2 previously. The trick is that Skype it doesn't work with ActiveSync. Version 2.2 only works with WiFi while 3.0 let you choose between WiFi & ActiveSync but this last option it doesn't work for me. With WiFi connection there is no problem so far.

Could somebody confirm this?
