It took me a while to get a lock straight out of the box, but I assume that it might have just been a fluke since I'm trying it inside. it functioned after I ran telenav x.x
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kampj007:
Gps working fine on most if not all apps.even geotagging, etc
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AEguyNYC5:
The GPS does not work on either my Vibrant or my 4G at all. By the way yes, I have used a GPS unit before, I have owned several Garmin Nuvi (350, 1490) and currently have a 3790t.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Success100:
Works fine on mine...

My GPS is working a lot better than I expected coming from the Vibrant. It hasn't failed me yet.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Toshinobu:
For those of you having GPS problems... I just came across this article on Google.

Have you tried this GPS fix? --> blog.photoframd.com/2011/02/09/gps-problems-on-your-samsung-galaxy-s-android-phone-try-this/

Please post your results if you try it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] SykesAT:
Guys this is a thread of interest to me as a 3g vibrant owner, who's GPS works but is subpar.

For those reporting results can you confirm:

- you only have GPS on (settings>location&security> use wireless and sensor aiding are both off)

- you are not using maps to test with but an app like GPS test link or accessing the phone's lbsTestMode.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ricanstruct:
I have both SGS4g and the vibrant-(returning vibrant) side by side when I tested the gps lock. By far the SGS4g is quicker and have yet to experience any issue. :eek: Shocking isn't it.:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Spiral Array:
I've been having issues with GPS - hard to get a lock, and low accuracy. But...

This helped with the accuracy, but it still wasn't up to par with my G1 or iPhone.

Wireless didn't make much of a diff on OR off. But I turned off sensor aiding and the accuracy is now almost perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Yogi3:
My two cents on this issue is that on my 2nd SGS4G the GPS works 85-90% of the time and on the 1st one I had at lunch day that one the GPS only worked 70% of the 3 days I had it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] da_dragon2k3:
Could one of you sgs4g users try and put your gps into ms assisted mode and tell me what your supl settings are?

The original vibrant would lock up, freeze apps and drain the battery 2% a minute when changing from standalone gps to either ms based or assisted. All this can be changed in the lbstestmode--application settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] princedwi:
I have actually ran sgs tools and followed the sticky post in the Captivate forums regarding gps fixes. Default settings were exactly like the vibrant, and I have set them to ms based, google supl no security, accuracy 50. Locked quick outside, ~20 seconds or so vs half way home (3 minutes). I'm going to try accuracy 150 with dynamic accuracy on my 2 hr trip up to north jersey this saturday, so I'll post my findings.

I do not use agps nor the sensor aiding. I can else conclude that even with default settings, once a fix is established and a position is determined on google maps, the gps has no trouble following. The only thing that bothers me is first fix, which I hope my current settings will address.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] VICosPhi:
Thanks for your input guys, much appreciated. It seems for most of you GPS is a thumbs up!

Sadly Vibrant owners will never have a 100% working gps. Good luck with Galax S 4G custom ROMs now that you have unofficial clockwork recovery

Sorry, I read someone's post earlier stating Krylon built working clockwork for sgs 4g.It seems he didn't yet
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] derekedw:
I was seriously considering this phone, but there are still mixed reviews on the GPS. I use GPS to track my running distances/times and I currently have a captivate and moving to T-mobile soon. My captivate sucks for tracking running/jogging, so I'm trying to find the right phone to use for T-mobile.

I'm probably going to wait for the LG G2X to come out though. I just don't trust Samsung any more. They have serious hardware issues with the GPS in the original Galaxy line of phones and just refused to address it or make it right.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] j032:
My GPS only seems to work when I turn wifi off. Does anyone else have this problem?

Do I need to exchange my phone or is this just normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theblueprint:
i've been super-paranoid about this because my phone is a samsung and i'm aware of their history. unfortunately, i don't really know enough to know if it's working "well". this is my first GPS-equipped smartphone.

on average, it takes about five-seven seconds, sometimes as much as twenty. a few times it's refused to lock, but will after a restart. (i don't even know if that actually does anything. seems to).

it seems that it's working fine, unless of course it's supposed to be instantaneous. i think it's ok, but i don't really know what is to be reasonably expected.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] slipin3:
GPS

My Gps has been working great. i'm just having connection issues sometimes with the 4g. but i think it has something to do with the Tmobile signal in my area.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnnywong:
Fixed by apps name "GPS Fix" by Android Labs

I got my Galaxy S 4G with "Simple Mobile".(no unlock required)

I was very upsad when i know the GSP is not working.

I tried so many way to fix it. Finially, I download the apps name "GPS Fix" by Android Labs at "Market". Took 5 mins to fix. Now GPS works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dang2327:
My GPS has a bit of a problem locking the position. But after the after by T-Mobile, everything works fine now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eric-1987:
After I did the lbstestmode and did get position test I waited for 10 minutes and I got sattellite signals. After that it works great!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vMarco:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4g and my GPS doesn't work well..

Gps Test in lbsTestMode sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, I have to wait like ten minutes each time so I can get the GPS to work..

So, every time I want to know where am I, I have to go to lbsTestMode, run the GPS Test, and after I've got a position, go to maps app..

my phone is a T959v from T-Mobile unlocked. Running froyo.

I've followed like 5 guides that are on internet (even the ones in this page).. the GPS Test APP doesn't work either.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Try downloading GPS Aids (paid version). There should be a GPS Doctor there. Regenerate your GPS folder, and it'll work fine after you get a lock in the lbstestmode. It works perfect for me now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Yea. Gps aids will fix all of your gps troubles. Once the phone reboot, go back into gps aids and go to gps status. Leave it onfor 5-10 minutes until most of the satellites are green and then reboot the phone. then try your gps. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I believe it's suggested for 10 minutes. Also, do this outdoors, as being indoors can obviously block GPS signals. In addition, I remembered reading that you need a minimum of 4 satellites for your GPS to function.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eclipse245:
It's really annoying. I have GPS Aids, the paid version. 12 satellites in View, and NONE are being used. It's so aggravating because there's so much potential and the phone doesn't even use it!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
Coming from regular vibrant, the 4g was awesome out of box... After flashing a Ga-zillion times.. Still works great...

Never messed with settings & such.. Never a need.

Mine works fine. It takes google maps about five second to lock. Never had an issue. I removed Telnav and Layar.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sixmsj:
Stock SGS4G, worked perfectly. Flashed GB and it stopped working.

GPS Aids Donate didn't work for me. I used a combination of GPS status and GPS fix to do it. Works like a charm now.

Is there a way to change the color and font size in CONTACTS? The way it is now , the color is the same as the tiles , if its a dark color you cant see the number , plus the numbers are so small you can barely see them anyway!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avandor:
Can't change the font and colour is always based on your accent colour.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soniboy84:
I personally don't fancy the new SGS for the following reason:

SGS2 scores on stock rom 100 points more in Quadrant than my SGS1(~1500). Dual cores are not going to be used for the next 1 year, only a few minor apps.

So why should I buy SGS2?

For bigger screen? 4.0 is already big enough in my pocket.

Samoled+? I don't think it's so much nicer, the one without + is awesome enough!

I don't see too much improvement in SGS2, I'd rather give Optimus 3d a go!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizuchi:
Are you one of those people who decided to stick with 32-bit processors because there's not much to gain from buying a 64-bit one?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soniboy84:
Haha, lol no I have 64bit.

I'm talking about the fact, that dual cores are not going to be used too much until the end of this year. Devs are making apps to popular phones/systems. They will only implement dual core acceleration if they see it's enough users.

So for 1 year you'll only see several apps using dual core, so it won't worth buying. Only reason to buy is maybe multitasking. But that's alone is not enough for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbong777:
I would buy it because the Captivate was so well supported by Developers and made the Captivate an amazing device. Atrix looks like a fail out the gate not allowing kernel development.

So far i like what I see here...although Samsung is not customer centirc in the US anyway.

A lot of devices will be available on ATT this year 11 Android phones. Lots to choose from
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martino2k6:
1) Why are people so obsessed with a synthetic benchmark?! It's just stupid. My HTC Desire gets 2100 and it lags more than my San Francisco (~900), it proves nothing. Furthermore the Exynos is rather new, I'm sure there is a lot of headroom for optimisation in the driver department.

2) A single app may not be using boh two cores at the moment. But are you running a single app on your phone at once? No. You're running an app, lots of services, broadcast receivers, and the system itself. Enough to keep both cores busy.

3) About the screen read here. It will be nicer by a fair amount.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ Yoshiman:
I assume that even if apps won't immediately be using both cores to their advantage, the Samsung system will, considering... well, it's natively made for that particular model.

There will probably be some sort of system or optimization that will separate tasks for the Android system (or parts of it) to use one core, and applications to use the other core (or possibly use both if the option is enabled).

Hell, at this point, for all we know, the system is completely optimized for this dual core process and controls every aspect so not only is the entire phone running at it's most efficiency with the cores in respect, but it's also possibly saving battery life.

Hard to know considering the specs were only released a while ago. It also doesn't help that there's only one other dual-core phone that is out right now to compare, and it was only released a few days ago, so developers still have to see how exactly the Android system handles the technology.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soniboy84:
Just a bit of fix here, just a bit of improvement there, I see no inventional feature in the SGS2 to make me buy it. On the other hand, Lg....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faria:
I will tell you why you want the new device:

Because you got a thing for shiny new gadgets like all of us!:D:D:D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentakki:
I want to get this one because I am fed up with my SE Walkman 580i. Perfectly valid reason I think ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierro78:
Yes allow me to agree here :)

Multicore support is already there in linux.

Should also be used on some native linux apps.

Looks from http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.0-highlights.html that only the java apps don't benefit from it yet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kailkti:

It is my understanding that super amoled is just and amoled screen with built in touch screen instead of a separate layer.

Either way though, the pentile layout is the same, so that picture is still indicative of the improvement.

To Add to the topic

I am actually considering the SGS 2 and lg optimus 3D ( for the 3d screen and camera :D)

Regarding SGS 2

I am hoping cause its similiar to the NExus S, It will be easily rooted and more support from devs

Also being dual core and having nfc support its future proof as most of you know in uk you have to sign for 24 months contract

regardless of the fact that there may not be much apps optimised for dual core, I am sure the current apps should run pretty fast cause of the dual cores and multi tasking should be a breeze.

And I for one love big screens ( having a HTC HD 7) I just love the browsing experience on big screens

But windows need a major overhaul and my HTC Hero is becoming History pretty soon
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
It does? That's what I said... Both AMOLED and Super AMOLED use pentile, so the comparison to Super AMOLED Plus is still valid.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
I must have read your post wrong. I thought you said superamoled plus.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
The thing is you are paying for hardware that is either not yet supported or not for immediate use.

NFC is but one. It's an expensive add-on that won't really see any benefit until the industry adopts it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martino2k6:
The price of future-proofing youtself? For Asian countries I'm sure this will be a welcome move.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Maybe so, but not at the expense of everyone else who won't get to see or use the technology.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericbmn1:
I need help understanding why I'm stuck in reboot loop with my EVO 4G.

I originally was trying to root the device using unrevoked3 but getting the ERROR "Backup CID is Missing" message and unable to proceed. I followed the instructions at http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/194918-rooting-dummies.html which talk about troubleshooting this. It talks about going into recovery mode to see if I've lost the recovery mode which I did (black screen with phone and read arrows). It says to reboot but I was unable to so I unplugged the battery.

Since then I have been stuck in a mode where the device boots but the sdcard is not recognized and upon completion of boot up it shuts down and vibrates five times. I did a bunch of research last night on understanding what I thought I needed to do alleviate this. My thought was since I was stuck without a recovery image I need to flash new one. At this point I'm fine with not being rooted with all the trouble I've had.

I downloaded the latest stock recovery rom (3.70.651.1) from http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/259446-clockwork-amon-ra-pc36img-files.html and pushed it to my sdcard under the name PC36IMG.zip (with two files .info and recovery.img). I restarted my phone via HBOOT and it sees the zip file, reads it in, goes to checking and then does nothing (back to HBOOT screen). I don't get what I'm doing wrong. I also tried getting the stock image from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=874091 but I can't seem to open the firmware.zip file to try that recovery image.

Again I just want to get back to stock ROM and recovery files now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] emiliah310:
I rooted my HTC EVO, then wanted a new kernel for better battery, wanted the new gingerbread ROM too but after I rooted, I deleted a few unwanted, stock apps. After I did this, I started to get a lot of force close messages. Certain apps won't even open. So I tried to unzip a new kernel and I wiped all my data from the hboot. Now it starts up, will go to locked home screen. I try to unlock it, it's the white htc screen then loads into the set up (i.e. keyboard usage, etc) and in the last step a force close message pops up then goes through the whole scenario again. Now I want to just put a whole new system on so I can have my evo back. HELP?
[General Questions and Answers] EndlessDissent:
Download the rom, kernel, and Gapps (http://www.goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/) on your computer. Boot into recovery. I don't use Clockwork, and I'm assuming you rooted with Unrevoked, so that's probably the recovery you have, but try to find the option to mount your SD card via USB, and move the files to your SD card. Do not unzip them. They must be .zip files. Unmount your SD card, wipe your data, wipe your cache, wipe your Dalvik cache, repeat all the wipes at least one more time, then flash the .zips in this order: 1. ROM 2. Gapps 3. kernel. Then reboot, and you should have a working system.
[General Questions and Answers] timcastorena:
If you use ROM Manager and created a backup then you could flash (install) the OTA ROM Sprint sent out a few months back. This OTA ROM will be for the Rooted evo, so you won't lose root. Go to youtube.com and search this, "How to install new Sprint Htc Evo OTA 3.29.651.5 and keep root." In his comments he'll provide the link to that zip file and you can flash it from the recovery mode. Make sure you wipe the dalvik/cache and then flash zip file from sd card. It will appear to look like your initial problem but it will get passed the white htc screen. You could turn it off and turn it on again if HTC screen stays longer than 10 min. Once the ROM kicks in, you'll notice its stripped of all your cusomizations. If you used rom manager to back up your ROM then redownload ROM manager from market and the superuser app that came with the OTA zip file will allow ROM manager to run. At that point select manager and restore backups from ROM manager and select your backup and it should put you back to where you were prior to the problem.

Sorry so long, but I'm very detailed and don't want to assume you know what I'm talking about.

P.S. similar situation happened to me yesterday I fixed my issue like described above.

Another Thing haha, don't delete your stock apps just freeze them using Titanium backup. Freezing does the same thing for battery life. You wont see them in app drawer and they wont run in background.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vipaman:
Can someone help me get windows mobile 6.5 for I-MATE ULTIMATE 9502??? I know there was one project which was around based on this but that never gave results. Also I searched the ENTIRE web for this but i found nothing. So I thought we could get this project going and become the first ones to develop such a rom!!!:cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Spiaatie:
Project came to conclusion that's it's not possible.

I found Chinese SD card WM6.1 ROM - available at [here], but no one have found how to enter bootloader.

This could be an easy to make WM6.5 ROM.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vipaman:
So can't I just make the make rom or something because the offical update i.e windows mobile 6.1, for this phone which I downloaded doesn't work for windows 7 so I thought of getting windows mobile 6.5!!!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
With so many ROMS to choose from, I thought that it would be nice to have people post their Smartbench scores along with pertinent information such as ROM used, VM Heap Size, etc.

I like Smartbench much more than Quadrant since it breaks up the result in 2 categories and are more reliable - since Quadrant scores are all over the map depending on the direction of the wind in Tokyo, Japan :rolleyes:

I think that with alot of input, we can more easily determine which ROMS are truly faster or maybe help people figure out if there is a misconfiguration on their phone.

I figure scores in between 800-900 (Productivity) and 1100-1200 (Games) range would be pretty good - since I had got below 700 and 1100 before tweaking.

Anyway, here is my best score so far:

ROM..................................: CM 612 0.07-11.01.28

VM Heap Size......................: 48 mb

MHZ@VSEL.........................: 1100mhz @ 64 vsel

Memory Management (in AOR): Mild - Keep Launcher Alive

Governor............................: Performance

Battery Level......................: 100%
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
Here's mine at 900Mhz-56vsel using Moto APAC / Interactive Governer / VM size 28mb
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
I forgot to mention that your honeycomb theme goes fast for me :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Abazel:
Wouldn't be more relevant if we all use the same settings (CPU speed , vm , governor) , just to see the performance differences between the ROMs?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
Sure, comparing apples to apples makes sense.

Most people seem to be in the 900 to 1000 mhz range so they can still be comparable.

Say a phone at 900mhz scores higher or the same as a phone at 1000mhz, then it could be that the phone at 900mhz is running a much faster rom.

It would be nice if people would start posting scores from different roms indeed.

I'll be trying a different rom soon so I would post the score with the same settings that I used in the first post.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] James91:
Rom: shadowmod b3

CPU: 1000mhz @ 60vsel

governor: smartass

BTW, what are meant by productivity index and game index respectively ???
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
Wow nice games index score...

I would imagine that Productivity Index is the cpu efficiency/performance and the Games index would the related to the Graphics performance ie. higher frames per second = smoother game play.

Maybe you can try increasing your VM heap size to 40 or 48 mb and reboot to see if it increases your Productivity score.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] James91:
How to increase VM heap size and what is it???

any tutorials ????
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
Its in cm6 settings but also aopenrecovery in the froyo menu
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] James91:
aopenrecovery= androidiani OR??

Does it mean that the greater the size, the better is the performance??

There are two 40mb and two 48mb in the froyo menu,

What is the difference??
