Thought I'd throw in that I'm having the same problem running hyperdroid rom on a telstra hd2. GPS finds a lock, works for about 2 mins then freezes requiring battery to be taken out to restart. I'm leaning away from a hardware issue as copilot worked perfectly on the same phone when I was running windows 6.5...

Hi all,

I'm facing the same issue reported in post #12. I'm actually using latest Rafdroid HD (Froyo Sense) build on SD. Do you think I can try the fix in post 18, also if it is for Gingerbread builds? Please advise.

Thank you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matthew33:
i'm having GPS issue too.

All I KNOW for a FACT, is:

1: It's NOT heat related.

2: It's NOT Radio Rom related

3: It's not just with one or two builds, as ive flashed prob 100+ builds and it still happens.

4: PLEASE don't come up with the usual rubbish..."do a task29".....TASK29 DOES NOT HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5: It's NOT NOT NOT SD card related as i've tried 3 brands and 2 speeds of cards.

6: It's NOT a hardware problem, as this is my 2nd HD2 and the EXACT same problem existed on my last one.

Soon as I get some cash, i'm going to but an ANDROID NATIVE PHONE......AND SMASH THIS F***ING HD2 against the wall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fact is, we aint ever gonna solve this bleeding problem...AARRGHHHH!!!!!!!!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Esaj2:
Are you sure about that? If you are, then you might be wrong. I've now told numerous people, that if they have GPS freezing issues in Android AND in WinMo, the issue is most likely GPS module related. It's not coincidence that my HD2's GPS started working again, when it got new GPS module. There's also many other people, who suffered the same fate and everyone got their GPS working by replacing the GPS module.

Everyone who has GPS issues, should check THIS LINK. There I have told the details, which should point out if you have a faulty hardware. If your problem is somewhat different, then the issues might be caused by something else.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matthew33:
it is NOT the SD card. FACT.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
I second that. We had simular problems.

Mine was intermittant in the begining. I couldn't use google navigation since it would freeze the phone after x amount of time.

After a while my GPS signal started vanishing in every navigation software after a couple of minutes or hours.

The same happened in WinMo and Android.

HTC replaced the mainboard and the GPS problem was over.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matthew33:
I flashed back to a STOCK Windows mobile 6.5 and ran GPS ALL DAY without any problem at all.

Next day I put Nand Android on my phone, turned on GPS....FROZE withing 5 minutes!!!!!!!

ARGHH!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
Weird, can you do one more test?

I got to speed up my error when the HD2 was on top of something warmer.

If you can get it back on WinMO and place it on top of a server or something else that is about 30C warm and let it run that GPS test thing from Chartcross for a couple of hours, that should be able to 'kill' it.

Since I was able to use GPS after the MB swap for like 20 hours in a row without an issue it must be hardware related. I also use GPS on the thing for atleast 3 hours a day every day in Android. (waze)

Esaj2 also got the MB swapped and his simular issues were over.

You say you have a 2nd one that has exactly the same issue, well mine is at HTC again for probably another MB swap since it hangs after 5 or 10min of use and this after having it back fixed 4 weeks ago.

If I read this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=982454 I know that this is a bad thing , common with the HD2's and cause intermittent issues on all fronts.

If it was me I would call HTC (warranty) and tell them that GPS stops intermittently ranging from 1 hour to 20 hours and that you tried to rule out everything like sd-card, sim, batt etc and also that you have done a full reset and have the latest rom.

Highly possible that they don't have the time to test it and just swap the MB.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Esaj2:
I wouldn't recommend using HD2 as a navigation device in a car, especially if it's charging at the same time. I haven't seen a single HD2 that doesn't suffer from heat issues. Even my HD2 with new MB and GPS module, gets really hot when navigating and charging at the same time. Especially in hot climate the HD2 crashes almost certainly.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
No issue when you have an airventholder and the airco is blowing 6C or 43F air out of it.

My device actually felt cold when I undocked it in the South.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kergekecske:

i think i cooked my gps chip

charging, plugged into car hifi (i haven't bluetooth ) and navigating (with aura)

i only went there asking about the data plan , because when i went into the version store to ask ,, the guy was no help at all ,, he was talking about how he rooted his d1 and said he had froyo, i said yea , i have a eris running gingerbread,, when he said gb was old and froyo was the newest , i thought it be best to go ask someone else lol

and as far as that rooted phone,,,, i never said it was being released anytime soon,, he said that one of those companies are working on one

No they are not. They both went out of business and there are no more B&M stores for either.

Circuit City name and CompUSA name are now owned by TigerDirect and basically you can buy all the same stuff from TigerDirect on either Circuitcity.com, compusa.com or tigerdirect.com

So yes they are "still in business" but its just tigerdirect expanding its business under the name of the 2 companies they bought after they had already went out of business.

300 for a phone built on last years tech...

hrmm

Gonna wait for the new dual cores maybe even the iPhone five. re-evaluate in July and get whats best of the lot. I suppose I will have to live with my Eris for a few more months. While it was a good phone, it is hard to read due to the small screen. I did however get new goggles @ 240 bucks so I could read the phone.

I got several emails from Vzw store noobs wondering when I would be releasing my payment. "before the end of Q2." Between us I had an ink issue which was resolved in a pen update the other day. Don't tell the kids working at the VZW store. I just want the check to be bold, bright, and exceptionally readable when I finally release it.

Hey guys!

Just tought I would share my recent buys for my Galaxy S

one pal of mine showed me some lens he used for his Zi8, wide angles, fish eyes, polarised, etc. so I've decided to try em on the SGS.

For now, they are just ordered, but I'll keep you updated when i receive them:

Polarised:

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/jelly-...cell-phones-and-compact-digital-cameras-22868

This is supposed to remove the reflections in windows or the likes

RESULTS:

Well, the crappy sticky ring is to crappy to be able to take descent pictures, since you have to turn the lens in order to work, the darn things is not realy holding... I'll try to find some magnetic washer and make it work like the other one...

Macro and Wide angle

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/univer...or-digital-cameras-and-cell-phones-14953#open full view

Macro is enabling the ability to make precises pictures of tiny objects

Wide Angle, well, pretty self explanatory!

This kit is working with a magnetised side. So it might be a chalenge to put the "round" metal washer on the SGS...

RESULTS:

the metal ring fits pretty good on the square hole, overlaping a little the casing:

And, the part I was most "concern", it still fits pretty good on my belt clip and on my car mount, so the ring in itself is thin enough!

Now, the results:

This is a standard picture:

This is a wide angle:

Pretty good! Wide enough eh!

One more test:

Normal:

And wide:

And, since the lens can be seperated to offer a Macro lens, well, here we go:

So, for a 10$ item, it's pretty much right on! :P

Optical Zoom:

http://www.dinodirect.com/mobile-phone-telescope-8x-zoom-camera-optical-currency-CAD.html

You can have specific molds for the SGS on this site but I got this one because of the ability to put the thing on a stand (screw on stand)

I'll take vids and pictures when I receive them!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] bcam117:
Thanks, seems interesting. Will wait to see what your experience is :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jetcz:
I can recommend fisheye lens FE-12

It has nice build quality, nice optics with low distortion - no blur, no aberation, just some vignette which is unavoidable when using fisheye.. but two steps of zoom fixes this.

The only disadvantage is that you have to stick a fugly metal ring over the camera hole, because the lens is magnetic.. its practical but ugly.

Enclosed some photos taken with SGS and this lens attached...

In the first you can actualy see my legs down in the picture, thats how wide angle this lens is :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] t1mman:
Thanks!

Could you post a picture of the metal ring, I'm kinda wondering if it fits on the glass or on the backplate.

Is it thick?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] devonblue4u:
Good post! Kind of a toss up right now bringing my camera with me skiing or using just the SGS to do the multimedia thing. It's still the hassle of set up to take the shot for quick pics but zoom for video would be sweet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jetcz:
ring is sticked partly on the glass and partly on the battery door, thickness is about 1mm.

...it doesn't look *that* bad as it does on the pictures :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
I know I'm off-topic and I know I'll get blamed for ... whatever ... but ... still:

Are you REALLY using your PHONE to take PHOTOS? The quality is so bad (on ANY phone camera) that in my opinion it can be used only for ocasional stuff, when you don't have anything else better.

Seriously ... are you really attaching those lenses to the phone in order to take "pictures" ?

Why don't you invest in something that was built for photography?

I use this one for photos ... and the camera + lenses were at about the same price as the new SGS was w/o contract:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gulmat:
So you're saying that he should spend another 600$~ to take better pictures instead of having fun experimenting the camera on the sgs?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] OmerX:
something like that, + a dedicated camera is always better for quality pictures .
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ssvijay:
Waiting for your review. Really looking forward to optical zoom in SGS :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Soniboy84:
Well, till I have the SGS I decided to sell my DSLR. Not that I don't like it, but for mobility I can sacrifice a bit of a picture quality. Let's say I made 100 times more pictures with my SGS, that is always with me, then with my dslr.

Although if you particularly going on a trip where you don't mind that thing hanging on your neck, or you want lasting pictures then a dslr is a good choice. But I'd rather get a quality compact for that purpose.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
If you like your vacation photos to be with washed out colors, w/o details and with that grainy look from the noise then yes, SGS camera is excellent.

I personally will carry around my DSLR until a compact with at least equivalent quality will be available.

I'm also taking pictures and filming some 720P moments with the SGS .. but still, this is always the plan B ... if I don't have anything better at my disposal. But from this point to buying macro and zoom lenses for my SGS is a long path ... too long for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] t1mman:
Well, IMHO, picture quality is more than descent. Comparable to my old digital camera I bought some time ago. We are miles and miles away from the camera we used to have on cell phones back then (3-4 years ago). But then, I don't take em professionnaly so I don't need to buy a Rebel XT for 500$+ for taking "some pictures" and keeping the huge device with me...

But my main use for the phone is with 720p films. I've seen videos taken with Zi8 and the SGS can make video as good as the Zi8. So why not take it a step further and put some gizmos on it to make it better! And furthermore, try to get something as big as the Rebel into a show... you might not be so able to get it in!

Oh, and the gizmo's are all about 10$ ish range, you can even get jelly lens for under 5$... it shurely won't compare to high quality lens for the Rebel, but might get the job done for those of us who won't need this much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ro_explorer:
There is a time in everybodys life when one realize that is too old to understand certain things .... well, apparently my time to be in that position is now ... :)

I give up in this subject ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Soniboy84:
A lot of time you just don't have the time or room to take a dslr with you. When I first had my dslr, I though I'll bring it with me every day and make pictures. Well, no. I lost a lot of great shots, because I just didn't have the camera with me. The sgs is true not the best for taking pictures, but rather get washed out pictures, then nothing at all, right?

I say the best option is a decent compact. DSLR is professionals.
