Well.. it seems to me that there has been an unusually high amount of people who are now getting the USB device not recognized error when plugging their phone into their computer. Myself included. I'm stuck on dj05 because of it.

Can everyone that's having this problem post what they've flashed and how? Or any other problems their having? Make sure to post what OS you are using, x64 or x86, stock cord or not, Samsung drivers version, etc. Maybe we can find a common theme between everyone having the problem, and figure out a way to fix it. Thanks!
[Fascinate General] ragarm:
I will asap when I get home to my computer. Thanks for the thread as I have asked myself, but still no luck.
[Fascinate General] JDRidenour:
Same problem. I was running DL30 with the Blackhole Rom. Just stopped working yesterday. Tried flashing stock, then DL05. Can't root, ADB doesn't see it, nothing. Can't mount either. Win7 64 keeps saying its a CD drive and tries to install the verizon drivers. Did that, still tries.
[Fascinate General] rm2011:
I thought considering I started the thread, I should probably post my configuration as well. I had no problems with USB until I flashed kaosinate. I'm sure this didn't have anything's to do with it but oh well. I also flashed the lasted kaosinate kernal. After that, I installed superclean with adryn.'s test kernal. Still nothing. If you look around, there are definitely quite a few reports of the phone being recognized as a CD drive. Adrynalyne reccomends flashing one of his new test kernals which has been reported by some to fix the problem. He says that he still has to reboot with the phone plugged in to have it recognized, however.

I an running windows 7 pro x64 with the lastest Samsung drivers. I only get the USB error when plugging the phone in while its In downlaod mode. Otherwise it is recognized as a CD drive. I guess this is what we get for flashing non stock firmware, Roms, etc. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to post them.
[Fascinate General] JDRidenour:
Randomly came back...flashed stock DI01, then DI05, then DI09, then back to DI05. Working now...it must have finally wiped some bad code or something...
[Fascinate General] JDRidenour:
OK, so I went to root the thing...when the root rebooted, it didn't work. I had to disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to get it to recognize again.

What exactly does it do and what are the exact results?

Just faster fix or also increased accuracy while on the move?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Deleted member 1719473:
Native mode > force system to download and inject the XTRA data to the GPS.

SU mode > Only download de lto.dat

In fact, it's only help in faster fix and maintain a fix... and if you didn't have a mobile connection, or you will go far away from civilization; you can dowload, before go away, the gps aid files in order to have a faster fix without any kind of connections :) do you understand me? I cannot uderstand me!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] titooo7:
If I'm not wrong it downloads lto.dat and xtra.bin files. It also let you choose your preferred ntp server.

Basically it helps to get a faster lock.

I really can say that it works; after installation my SGS was able to get 11/11 with Gps Status in two places where my SGS only could view a maximum of 8 satellites.

The accuracy is a different story we have to live with, but this app is really a must have ( unfortunately :( )

Thanks! Nice app.. It is possible to add the ability to add custom ntp server?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Heppieboeddah:
It does the same as Fasterfix, reading data from the ntp-servers.

For the NTP-servers you might try some different one that are availble for youre region.

http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/north-america
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
Ok! Thank you!

Thank you!

Tell me something more..

What version of Android do you have?

What ROM are you using?

I don't know what FasterFix do. But I think that it only modify the NTP server in the gps.conf file. With GPS Aids you can download XTRA data using a native method and then inject it to the GPS, inject NTP server data to the GPS too and a lot of thing.. try the app or read the thread :)

Claro que no.. bloqueo especial para los chichas :P

Not true..

Sorry for the english, I have no time to think! .. Good night!

I don't think so. I think FasterFix just set NTP server.

But GPS Aids does more than that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Pincek:
GPS aids is much better than GPS fixfaster because I checked both and I do not care where the principle work of aids or fixfaster.

I have two questions:

Why GPS AIDS using data from the server by default Nord America, not Europe,

because I am from Croatia. Although it works great.

Why there is no option to choose the server for the stock version SGS (just auto) but only for rooting version?

Thanks for great application!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kunjar:
I was getting good GPS signal before, 7-10 inside my bedroom but the fix would take around 30-55secs.

So i tried GPS Aids to obtain faster fix, it didnt help much, so i uninstalled it and now i barely get 1 or 2 bars! It ****ed up my GPS!!

HELP!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
Have you the fingerprint set to 2.1 version of android? I cannot select a filter by model only by SDK. Minimum it's android 2.2 due to I don't know if it's works with 2.1 :)

Second time :P not true. Fasterfix only allow to set other NTP server.

GPS Aids allows you to inject NTP server data, inject XTRA data, delete XTRA data (all without root). Then you can set NTP servers and force to download the XTRA data (with root). So not the same :D

I don't understand you very good. If you want to set a NTP server different from stock, go to the menu and select one (you need to be root).

GPS Aids can't **** up your GPS. If you uninstall it: you only uninstall the app.

If you set other configuration different from stock with GPS Aids, you always can revert it.

So I don't understand the problem... maybe you made a deletion of GPS aiding data before uninstall the app. In that case simply reboot or download the data one more time with GPS Aids. Then without delete de GPS aiding data, uninstall it. Regards.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kunjar:
+1, initially it didnt work, but i updated it from the market and rebooted. Functioned fine after.

I think you maybe right, stumbled across this and this while browsing other HTC forums.

Apologies, i panicked a little. Yes i deleted the data before i uninstalled. However, i went into GPS test mode after i uninstalled GPS Aids, and with the GPS switched on, i hit "Get Position Test" and left the SGS on my window sill for about 10mins.

Think it redownloaded the data from the sats and now locks onto 10 sats within 30-40secs as normal.

Kind Regards.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Logseman:
Rezam, I think it's better to upload it to XDA itself, since Mediafire/MegaUpload and the like are quite slow and can delete content randomly anytime. Do you have downloads from XDA restricted as well?

In any case, here comes the .apk. I hope it works.

By the way, I want to thank the OP for FINALLY giving some value to my GPS. Locked in seconds 20 meters indoors, that's more than I ever had with FasterFix. I'll talk to Darky to see if your app can be included in his official release and I've donated.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Logseman:
@ondoteam, I thought the normal policy in XDA was that you can upload the apk freely unless the app maker specifies otherwise or, obviously, unless it's a paid-for app? I mean, I've not encountered the need to ask for permissions before in this forum.

In any case, I'm sorry if this causes trouble. Should I pull the file down?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Mercury0660:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
You are not correct.

FasterFix app only adjusts the NTP server accordingly to the region and adds a gps suppliant (google's), but does not download Xtra gps data or reset it..

Gps Aids app claims to Download Xtra gps data and even with 2 different methods (Native and brute force).

Man, cmon. I dont even get a nice signal under Clear sky, nowhere, not in the City and nowhere. Think about Radio Waves. There are sent to everywhere too, but they arent that ****ing worse to locate on your galaxy. You cant fu##ing test the GPS Hardware **** on the Galaxy because Samsung was doing completly **** with it. It isnt a Software fault or something. ITS HARDWIDE SIDE. Take a HTC Desire and a Galaxy. And remember : Some Galaxys havent got the problem, because Samsung already fixed it on newer Devices. If you want to get a prove, buy a newer Model and test it !! I got an friend which is living next to me. He got a newer version with the same Firmware on it. He ALLWAYS gets 8 views, but i only got 2 weak signals. Thats the issue !!! Nothing to do with Cell Towers or Magnetic Waves or other things ;D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] :
OP updated with new strings to be translated. I will upload the new version in about 30 or 60 minutes. I will check the thread for translation before do that..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
Yes Sir you are right. My apologies and thank you for correcting me in many ways

Indeed I should specify that an instrument, like a gps receiver is the one viewing signals

Let me try another approach:

GPS uses waves. And just like all light and radio waves, each signal has a unique frequency and lengthwave.

Domestic GPS receivers use the L1 frequency with 1575.42 MHz (wavelength 19.05 cm). The L1 frequency carries the navigation data as well as the SPS code (standard positioning code).

Because no all wavelengths are visible (TO THE INSTRUMENT) other measurements and readings will be applied.

I hope that the technical mambo jambo is more accurate this time.

Anyway before this thing gets more and more off-topic, all what matters is that the most reliable satellite fixes (not talking about satellite views) are obtained outside and preferably with FULL Agps (supl) disabled.

Today, by first time I see this behaviour on my device after incorrect shut-down. A reboot fix the situation.. so I thing that it is something related to the system (data or bad loaded driver).

That's the point at all. I was just reacting to somebody that claimed that he was getting satellite fixes indoors and none outdoors

It was general info and not device specific.

And yes, I am one those lucky ones that got a good working gps on the sgs. I use apps like this one (gps aids) only for maintainance.

If your gps sucks that much, this is not the thread for you.

Just get a compact external bluetooth gps receiver (see my first video) and get over with

it.

Or get another phone

By the way, my sgs is 7 months old...not that new

My gps videos are also old, from the Eclair time
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Mercury0660:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tranquility:
hi guys,

i installed this app, and my gps got worse. I mean before it was locking inroom about 4/9, outside 8/12. Now i left it searching but it event doesn't see any sattelite (barely found 1-3, but somtimes it steadily jumps around 1-2-5-6, i don't know it's happening)

Actually i did gps hardware fix for SGS Vibrant, and it got better, now after this app gps got worse or there is something that i did wrong. The point is that i live Kazakhstan and i'm not sure which server to use (there is nothing about my country in pool.ntp.org), so i downloaded data for world,then turned back to north america (i suppose sgs had this by default).

my fw is bionix-v 1.2, modem: Ka7

any help would be appreciated
