[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sky_hero:
That's right. I have E72 and nexus s. To get GPS lock, E72 only need less than 10s, but nexus s

really disappointed me. :mad:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sky_hero:
It seems that 2.3.4 fix this GPS issue. It works well now. GPS locking speed is much faster, an no never-locking problem.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damien8:
I'm confused, some people say there is an issue with their phone, and other don't.

I have 2.3.3, and the GPS takes forever (compared to my N1) to connect to the satellites and start navigating.

Help please!!!

Thanks :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NVMENOR:
Update to 2.3.4 and your GPS problem will be solved. Accuracy remains the same, it never was a serious problem, 5 meters in my case is enough for navigation.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temp9300:
can you try using "my tracks" to record a 5 minute walk? Mine can also show that accuracy at moments but it's not stable, the accuracy varies too much.

It's still usable for navigation, tho, which is the most important.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CONTACTMC:
Mine dont work, never had a lock, even after 2.3.4, am on a i9023, seriously pissed about this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temp9300:
I have a 9023 too and i'm on 2.3.4.

I can get a lock if i have a clear view of the sky.

Have you tried going outside and to an area away from buildings or trees (at least 15 meters away).

Try using google maps, and having 3g/gprs connection active, it will first show your position using 3g/gprs or wifi but after a while it should get a-gps data and lock.

If not, you should send you Nexus back for repair. :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakness51:
hi guys

i've updadted 2.3.4 with a custom rom (http://goo.gl/byOS6) but when I use google navigation there is continous loss of gps signal.

It locks gps position in a few moments, but every few minutes of navigation it losses signal and after a while it is up again, but in the while i'm driving :eek:

can you please help me???
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:
Nexus S i9023 with 2.3.4 (GRJ22):

TtF is acceptable after a fresh boot, deteriorates thereafter.

Accuracy is still bad and very unstable to boot

It loses the lock every few seconds and has to re-aquire it. Navigation and tracking impossible.

I've already exchanged it once, no dice.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temp9300:
i think the main problem is weak sensitivity of the device and/or antenna, so anything you can do to improve that might help, such as:

-in a vehicle, place it the closest to a window, check if you have thermal proof glass windows, that might also deteriorate the signal;

-if walking, stay away from trees;

-check if you are in narrow street or around tall buildings, that also affects reception;

-weather conditions, if the sky is cloudy reception is worse.

Mine works enough for car navigation, might loose signal occasionally but rarely and only for a few seconds, my car has normal plain glass windows.

It's not good for tracking while walking tho, too inaccurate.

Using normal 2.3.4, haven't tried custom roms.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romdroid.:
hey guys..is it really true that the nexus s have the same problem as galaxy s? i am considering buying nexus s and i will just it as my main gps in my car :( now i dont know if i should do it..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:
No, I wouldn't say the same. It's broken in a different way. :p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romdroid.:
so if i intend to use it as a gps i shouldnt buy it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:
If the two NS's I've had are any indication I'd not recommend buying it for the GPS or the compass. Otherwise, it's a spectacular phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romdroid.:
thats really sad..they have it on sale for 334€
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:
You know what's sad? That I paid €400 for mine just a week ago. :cool:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temp9300:
It's not as bad as the Galaxy S GPS.

I find it's ok enough for car navigation.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:
See, that's the fun part. I've had two SGSs and two NSs for testing now, and the SGS' GPS beats the NS' hands down. Ultimately all we have is anecdotal evidence.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temp9300:
If you read the comments on the forums you'll find more complaints about the Galaxy GPS.

Some individual samples might have different results, of course.

It also depends on how you tested it, did you just measure the time to get a fix? Did you measure the accuracy at that moment? These tests don't say much.

Instead, have you tried recording a track with both at the same time and comparing the results?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floomat:
Hey Guys,

just want to know if my device is defective or not:

my GPS does just not work at all, it can't get a fix for hours even if there are 10 sats.

but sometimes I'm lucky (really rare) and it gets a fix but the longest time it hold it was 5minutes, then lose GPS fix can't get one again. it's even not while i'm moving, phone lays on the table and outside to test.

really disappointing for me, second thing is my compass does not work after reboot and is really inaccurate and unstable (jumping around)

is this just defective? i want to be clear before my phone goes away for 1-2months to repairing center
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:

Same GPS trouble Nexus S

Just got a Nexus S i9020 from Amazon. Fone came with a dud GPS, was not working out of wifi at all. Spoke with Samsung, they dont do exchanges only repairs so I had to send my unit in. Took a week, but they reported it as a SW PRL update as the fix.

The GPS is working now, TTL is like 8-10 seconds cold, 2-3 secs hot, but accuracy seldom displays a fixed 5m, it normally hovers at 10m and bounces up or down between 5 and 10m.

The electronic compass is also balls. That also behaves a bit erratic. I've never experienced these types of faults before in a smartphone, and I've had many. FOr Google to have this as a flagship product is totally unacceptable. My mickey mouse HTC Aria performed like a champ and costs half the price. I will be going back to HTC for my next device.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temp9300:
The Nexus S is a nice device but the GPS / Compass are weak spots indeed. Keep in mind that the Nexus S is very similar to the Galaxy S which you can almost say it had no GPS, because of how bad it was.

Regarding the GPS, the TTL was pretty fast (much better than my SGS2) but it wasn't as accurate or stable. Plus, it will loose signal more often and, when it does, it might take a bit more to get it back.

I found it particularly weak around old parts of cities (lots of buildings, narrow streets), it was pretty unusable in those situations.

Other than that, it's a weak gps but still competent enough for navigation.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Falloutboy2000:
ya thats true, but whats the difference if the popup is shown on home or in the drawer. if u have many apps you can sort easily. for example u can put the shortcuts from folder organizer in the launcherpro dock. not in the main one, but on the side docks. anyway it would be nice to sort the apps in the drawer too
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Maddmatt:
Maybe not what you're hoping for but with ADW Launcher you can have your apps divided into categories and you have buttons at the bottom of the app drawer to switch between categories.

Launcher Pro lets you hide certain apps from the app drawer so if you can hide all the stuff you don't use or already have dock/homescreen shortcuts for, you might not feel the need for folders.

Folder Organizer looks quite nice, but are there other apps?

Because i hate the folder in the HomeScreen with LauncherPro! The folder icon itself is ulgy and also no animation..

With Folder Organizer i would be able to change this or?

The only problem with Folder Organizer is its permissions..

Your personal information

read Browser's history and bookmarks, write Browser's history and bookmarks, read contact data, write contact data

Services that cost you money

directly call phone numbers

Network communication

full Internet access, view network state, Market license check

System tools

automatically start at boot

Why calling access? Why reaing browser history?

And then you have to pay for it? For spying...

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Goodold:
Hi all.

I'm trying to do something pretty simple and it's probably just me missing something obvious but here goes:

I'm trying to add contact pictures / thumbnails to all the people or companies that send me text messages. With friends this is never a problem. Normally If someone sends me a text who is not in my contacts list then the sender name simply shows as their phone number - and I can add it to my contacts list and assign a contact picture which the messaging app then picks up ( instead of the standard android picture ( see a few examples in pic 1 ).

However some companies ( I'm using NatWest as an example in this case - see attached pic 1 ) actually come though on the messaging app as NatWest ( rather than a phone number ) - and I have no idea what number the text originated from ( not that I want to reply or anything ).

This means that when I long press on the message and choose to add it to my contacts then it shows the phone number as "NatWest" ( without the quotes - see attached pic 2 ). As a result the messaging app doesn't pick up on the contact picture I have chosen and just uses the default android pic as if it was an unknown recipient.

As you can see in Pic 2 I have assigned the NatWest logo to the contact entry but it still shows as the default picture in the messaging app - as per in Pic 1.

How do I know what number ( probably one of those 6 digit short numbers ) the text is actually coming from? Or how do I get the messaging app to display a contact picture of my choosing rather than the default one?

If it makes any difference I'm using a Motorola Milestone running CM6 12/12/2010.

Thanks.

yay, it's my birthday.

Oké first of all, I have my XDA account longer than I have my first smartphone.

So I'm really new to all this.

For the last few day's I've tried to connect to KIES with the leaked JPU firmware (Darky's v5.2 Gingerbread Edition).

I finally made this script which saves me all the hassle in changing the settings and going to TouchWiz Launcher because that´s where you need to be for KIES to work.

Phone NEEDS to be in USB debugging mode for some reason..

Have no clue why, hope you can give me tips and feedback to get my coding skills on :)

I should learn Java as well because I won't come very far using the terminal in this way I suppose xD

Put script in /sdcard/sgstools/

Run script through sgstools (free in the market)

The original script is from the stock JPU thread, you can go there by the link in the first post. Just click on thomas_d_j who came up with the solution in the first place. If you are using the TouchWiz launcher, you'll probably won't need my script and thomas_d_j's will be sufficient. It works on stock JPU though.

theres probably an easier way , but i logged into this thread on my phone and downloaded the script that way .

then i found it in my files then copied it into sgstools.

then i ran it through sgstools.

one question though , do you have to rerun the script after every reboot ? seems like it here
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jip-Hop:
Yes this is a temporary fix which you have to apply every time you want to connect to KIES.

After a reboot the changes will be gone, except for the USB settings.

They'll stay as the script have set them to be, if you do not change them manually. after the script has been ran.

Did it work for you and do you have any idea to make it better?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tesa2000:
Hi,

i'm new in this and have one question.

I updated to JPU and Kies don't run anymore. Now i downloaded the sgstool and the script. Do i have to root my phone first? Or can i do the steps w/o rooting the phone?

If i have to root, any link for a "good" root incl. tut.?

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jip-Hop:
Yes you have to have root access.

So since you've updated to JPU I suppose you've used Odin?

Download CF-Root

Unzip it.

Open Odin, choose the file you've just extracted (.tar file) as PDA in Odin.

Put your phone in Download mode.

Connect your phone, wait until Odin says it's Added and flash.

Now you've rooted your phone.

you now you don't have to have KIES to work if you just want to browse the files on your phone, right?

When I connect my phone to the pc it gives me two notifications in the notification bar.

Pull it down and click on one of the two.

It let's you connect USB storage if you clicked the right one.

That's the most easy way to do it if you ask me.

This will stay after reboot and is very quick.
