I can help you :) which ROM and theme are you using?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgtmedeiros:
I'm on royal glacier 1.2 no theme
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNarrowGate:
Wow. The title of your thread even says what ROM you're on. I'm an idiot. Anyway, standby I'm downloading it now. I'll take a peek and let you know...

ok. sorry it took me so long to get back, I had a break-dancing stripper emergency :)

first, thanks to TeamRoyal, Reddv1 and DjDarkKnight96

this method will require a new flash of RoyalGlacier

Do a nandroid backup! and i'm not responsible for what YOU do to YOUR phone, blah blah blah, yakity shmakity

If you don't have TeamRoyal's RoyalGlacier.zip or Reddv1's 4G Icons.zip, download them to your computer

Here is how I did it:

from computer using a program called 7-Zip (it's free on the interwebz, google it)

right-click on RoyalGlacier.zip icon, highlight 7-zip, choose Open Archive. Do not extract it

open system folder, open framework folder. Right-click framework-res.apk (it's toward the bottom), select open inside. Open res folder, open drawable-hdpi-v4 folder. The files to change are way down at the bottom. Leave this window open

This is the file path in RoyalGlacier.zip - system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi-v4\

Now, right-click 4G Icons.zip, highlight 7-zip, choose Open Archive. Do not extract it.

The file names in RoyalGlacier.zip are the same as the WHITE icons in 4G Icons.zip

Just delete one stat_sys_data_whatever_h.png file from RoyalGlacier.zip and drag-and-drop in same file from 4G Icons.zip

Save new RoyalGlacier.zip to SDcard and flash per TeamRoyal's instructions

let me know if this helps

Anyone know where I can download kings kernel # 11

[rant]

So I looked at sprints coverage map again, and noticed that same as before for me, they show I should have full bar 4G coverage on my 1 acre property. I don't get any 4G at all until I go down the street a couple hundred feet.

I called them tonight, finally pissed off about it, and the first guy told me tough sh!t, that coverage maps were a total guestimate and didn't matter. Finally ending up talking to this girl who actually helped me out. She told me I would need to go by a sprint repair shop, thankfully one is 2 mins down the road from where I work, and have them check it out, and if they say it is fine, or replace my phone, and I still cannot connect, they will see what can be done next.

Background.

At first they went to tell me about the 30 days and so forth. I pointed out how I broke a $300 ETF to move to sprint, and then paid another 200 for my phone, and another 120 for my bill, all within the first 30 days of start of service with sprint. I also pointed out that the moment I did that, I lost my unlimited data plan with AT&T.

So I have unrooted my phone, and I am sad cause my phone feels so lame running stock sense 2.2 when I had a awesome 2.3.2 CM7 and will be like that until I go by the sprint store tomorrow evening. So I am hoping they somehow make good on their end when I get back home, and still get no 4G coverage, just like the other 4 evos that have been at my house my friends have get no coverage.

anyone else have issues like this? I was really just ranting cause I want to either have 4G or a carrier that I actually get 4G with at my house, when they say I will.

[/rant]

they were different about a month ago, checked last night and they match to a T for where I live.
[EVO 4G General] aweskelo:
you're not going to get sympathy...err...just leave sprint and get a thunderbolt. 4G with sprint sucks anyways. I get faster 3G most of the time.
[EVO 4G General] nosympathy:
i am on the phone with sprint right now trying to terminate my contract without an ETF since I was lied to about coverage. They are sending me to "account services" right now to talk about it. I have been lied to and run in circles so many times trying to fix this issue. It is making me so mad.

doesn't help I haven't slept in like 30 hours lol.
[EVO 4G General] mylasthope:
Good luck. Let me know how it goes. I'm trying to figure out why coverage sucks so much at my house, despite both Clear and Sprint's 4g coverage maps claiming I should have good coverage.

Cheers
[EVO 4G General] nosympathy:
well I ended up going way up sprint somehow. And eventually I talked to some manager who started cursing me out and calling me names and lying to my face. He said the only reason I have connection problems at my house was because I don't turn my phone off for extended periods of time during the day. lol... Needless to say I had his manager listen to that call and next thing I know I have no ETF, a sprint EVO 4G to sell, and an HTC thunderbolt that is so fast it isn't funny.

Has anyone tried putting the genie news and weather app on the HTC Thunderbolt? I keep getting a force close each time I try to run the app. I have been able to install it with no problems, I have also grabbed the filed from a few different locations just to be sure the file is not bad. However, I used the same file on my X and it worked fine. Both are running 2.2 the only difference is HTC and the damn sense.

Can anyone offer any advice as to how to get this widget working on the HTC Thunderbolt. I love this widget and I have become use to checking it daily. It is great to have news and weather together.

Mine works with S.GPS fix / with Darkys rom

It is made on JUN 2010
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
The GPS always "worked", it's the matter of how "well" it works. Drifting all over the place at red light and have accuracy > 50 meters is not considered working well.
[Vibrant General] Slow50:
I am also using Darky's rom, and my gps is spot on. It pinpoints me in my house. on navigation, it is alway right there. mine was made june 2010
[Vibrant General] Mannymal:
Mine works after the hardware fix with solder. Before that it was unusable. Now it "works" as well as the software allows. With Bionix V 1.3.1 and Jellete's patch it usually locks within 20 seconds, but accuracy varies greatly. Sometimes its flawless, sometimes its unusable.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
If you are having problems, use Heathen GPS fix, Masters GPS fix or download the app GPS Aids from the market. they will resolve your gps issue (one will) OR just get a decent rom that has it in it already like the Trigger or Axura
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
I have had two Vibrants. I've tried every fix out there while the fixes improve the GPS nothing truly

fixes

the GPS. I've tried the Hardware fix (bending the antenna) and all sorts of software and setting fixes. Currently with my new vibrant is better with the hardware fix, darky's rom and Jellett's GPS fix, but is it close to my G1 or G2? No, there is no comparison.

As an earlier poster said and I agree, the GPS is not broken but it barely works, it loses signal and does not pin point your location is a respectable time.

GPS with this phone is a C- at best.
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
if that is the case then IMO, it's unusable or defective. GPS should be reliable all the time, well as long as it can see the satellites. If the phone dropped calls or failed to sent txts at much as the GPS gave issue would you still have the phone?
[Vibrant General] tf442:
I really like my Vibrant, but GPS is useable but that is all. My HTC phones gps would locate me within a 5 foot radius as I took a walk. I don't think the Samsung gps ts capable of that. The Vibrant GPS has never shown better than 18 feet accuracy and it comes and goes as you move.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
Much to my surprise, no it doesn't. I tried flashing the s.gps fix but its still useless. I'm running trigger 2.8 with its recommended trigger kernel and both are supposed to improve the gps not screw it up, what's wrong!

Btw, it was functional before so its nit a hardware problem.
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
Not before the hardware fix. Now it works wonderfully. Quick locks, good accuracy, no drifting. My combo is Bionix 1.3.1 with Heathens GPS fix and the hardware fix.
[Vibrant General] reddragon72:
I have tried everything to get this phone gps to work. And when I say work I mean work like a normal gps ie.. less then 15 foot accuracy lock in 10 sec hot start everytime and no wondering at all. On top of a parking garage at work with a 360 horizon view and no clouds at all I can get 8 says to "lock" but it shows the blue circle 50+ feet away from my actual position and the center of the circle 70+ feet away. The gps on my phone has never worked and I have done every fix out there including hardware, which I thought fixed it bit then found out it did not. Right now I am hoping that the t-mobile gx2 wont have these issues as that will likely be my next phone. So those of you that think your gps os fixed let's see some "my tracks" in comparison to a known working phone like the nexus one, my other phone that blows the galaxy out of the water on gps. I am betting that you will see that it really doesn't work at all.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
Maybe yours has a hardware issue. I run Tigger 2.8 with os kernel. My gps is not great but it is usable and serviceable.
[Vibrant General] frankwhitten:
Ask for a replacement. The GPS on my phone was crap, would lock on after a few minutes then lose position, could see 12 birds in the sky but won't lock on any one of them, and if it did work I would magically fly through houses and roads when I was driving my car. I got a replacement and it works flawlessly out of the box. Locks on within 30 seconds, accuracy depending where I am is anywhere from 10 meters to 4 meters. It has a few hiccups but I attribute that to where I live. Only problem now is that the GPS fixes in Bionix 1.3.1 kills my GPS. I am unsure why.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
The thing is, it was working fine before on stock. Not great but functionable while now its useless.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
Have you tried any of the fixes by the devs?
[Vibrant General] dattaway:
My GPS works like Sprint's network. Many claim its great, but it kinda works and it really sucks.
[Vibrant General] Yellow C6:
I don't have a problem with it locking when I'm stationary. The problem comes when I'm driving. GPS loses lock easily and jumps around. This leads to unnecessary reroutes and general confusion. It's borderline unusable in unfamiliar areas where you actually need the GPS help because of the random reroutes. The fact Samsung gets away with this kind of product defect is a reflection of current govt incompetence/corruption.
[Vibrant General] TLX317:
Mine works perfect with Trigger.
[Vibrant General] toukhang:
Spoke w/ Tmo rep, they said to download "GPS Restore" (a samsung app) from the market to fix gps issues. Don't know if anyone else has tried this but I have and it actually helps a lottt.
[Vibrant General] Danielpc:
I'm getting 10 of 12 birds, ave 20 ft with S.gps.2.zip using sweet honey & overstock v2.0. Considering all of the GPS problems with this phone, I suppose you can call that a win.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
Yea, the s.gps fix.
[Vibrant General] mattb3:
What worked wonders for me regardless of ROM is changing the SUPL to supl.nokia.com. The SUPL server is responsible for the "assisted" in the APGS. It provides supplemental information like precise time and maybe ephemeris data (precise sat location) which can make a huge difference in acquiring lock. The default SUPL is completely worthless as it no longer functions and according to

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=963858

it never did

1) To change the SUPL settings get to LBSTestMode. The easiest way is to use SGSToolbox and select GPS test menu.

2) Select SUPL/CP Settings and change server to supl.nokia.com and port to 7275. Others have also had good look with supl.google.com port 7276, but honestly the nokia server has worked so well for me that I haven't tried google's.

3) Under application settings I changed test mode to H/W Test. I'm not sure this step is necessary, but my GPS works so well now that I haven't done a whole lot of experimenting.

Changing these settings made a massive difference. My phone would take minutes to lock, often "seeing" satellites, but not locking. Nowdays time to first fix is typically less the 10 seconds indoors with a a lock on 8+ birds, easily as good as any other cell phone I've ever used. Try it, hopefully it will help yours.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
I can't find such an app called sgs tool box in the market though I have one called sgs tools installed with a gos fix too but since I'm neither in europe nor north america, it can't fix my problem.
[Vibrant General] tony yayo:
They told me the same thing. Did nothing. They also told me if i upgraded to froyo it would work. Stupid me I odin'ed back to stock, upgraded to froyo through kies, then used GPS restore. I actually lock on more satellites than before but for travel its definitely not usable. I don't think Tmo will ever let you get a different phone either, they just give me the runaround.
[Vibrant General] frankwhitten:
You have to be firm with them. I just used the chat assistance on their website. Just tell the person you are chatting with that you tried all the fixes given to by customer support and on their website (ie. upgrade to froyo and use the Samsung GPS restore app) and they will give you a warranty exchange, if you bought it through T-Mobile.

hell no it doesn't work properly. this is bogus was in durham n.c this weekend attending my sons aau bball games and got lost at least 3 times going from place to place. gps signal lost was so prevalent and annoying. never a samsung again. g1 navigation was great and it didn't come with navigation out the box.
[Vibrant General] frankwhitten:
I have no answers other than each phone behaves differently. I was under the assumption that the GPS was crap for most if not all the Vibrants until I got my replacement. I will get some screen shots tomorrow. I have tested this somewhat thoroughly. I will have to wait till I travel more than 20 miles to be satisfied but other than that it has been great. There have been a few hiccups but it usually corrects itself promptly.
[Vibrant General] funkybunk:
Well, for my phone, it takes a while to lock in, but when I do it pinpoints my position exactly and can even track my walking. I'm using bionix 1.3.1 if that's any use.
[Vibrant General] Slow50:
From reading all the post on Gps, IMO I think there was a bad batch of chips. some of the fixes make things worse.

My gps was accurate bone stock, or at least when I checked it. I started loading custom rom's and it was way off, no locks, through houses, up to one mile off. I quit worrying about it, and gave up on it.

On my daily, I am using Darky's rom, and went to show a friend how bad it was, Compared to his Motorola. To my surprise it locked on to me in my house. Then later when we went for a drive we ran them side by side, and mine was dead on. (his too)

I have not applied any kind of fix to this, I had given up on it. Take it for what it is woth, some work, some don't.
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
That's about what I get with stock and Bionix. That's after having broken the GPS connector (and having a professional re-solder it). Also using Google's supl, MS-based, and using a network connection.

Kind of sad that my HD2 running a hacked together Gingerbread ROM got 7-14 ft accuracy and worked perfectly. Almost certainly my last Samsung phone purchase.
[Vibrant General] tony yayo:
UPDATE: I too was able to get a warranty exchange from TMO and it made a HUGE difference. Sticker under the battery says it was made this month, although maybe it was just refurbished this month? Who knows? Anyway, GPS works great now, sometimes it may take a minute to lock on but overall it works and its a million times better!!! Battery seems to be much much better too. Maybe there is some kind of app or program constantly running that attempts to use the GPS for some reason and that is what is killing battery life? I am using Bionix so maybe there is something in the rom that blocks the GPS when not actually in use. Either way I'm loving it. Get a replacement if you can folks!
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
Blah, wish I could, but I've dropped mine and it shows signs of physical damage (despite the fact that GPS sucked before I dropped it). Plus, I'm not the original buyer. Glad you got it fixed though. Good to hear that they aren't still sending garbage to people...
[Vibrant General] tony yayo:
Ugh. That sucks dude. How bad is the damage? I don't have any damage to my screen and no cracks or anything but that silver looking ring is kind of scratched on one of the corners. Normal wear and tear as far as I'm concerned. Hope they don't give me any trouble for that!
[Vibrant General] inconceeeivable:
Hmmm. My screen is pretty perfect actually. The visible damage is on the silver band.

Really impressed with the Gorilla Glass. Pretty sure my Nexus One would have been completely destroyed in the drop.
[Vibrant General] iscrewup:
Mine used to take up to a minute to lock. But since I used the "Faster fix apk", it locks within 5 seconds
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
Mine used to work alright, now its almost useless. It locks after a minute, then it wanders off streets as mile away every 10 seconds then it loses signal altogether and I have done the hardware fix and stuck a piece of plastic in the connector.

THIS IS A HARDWARE PROBLEM . It works fine on SGS 4G ( check my poll in SGS 4g general section)

Samsung needs to fix this by replacing GPS chip in our phones and we need to act fast to make it happen.
[Vibrant General] hulaokan:
my gps is working good
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Do the fix again, or beat the back of it a couple of times with the palm of your hand where the antenna is. I had to do that earlier today to get it locking again. I'm convinced that, at least for people like me with first run Vibrants, it's largely hardware. 20 feet accuracy for these devices might be "good" but frankly, that sucks.
[Vibrant General] ahl395:

My GPS worked well out of the box (my phone build date was in October), but lately it gets wonky when I flash new ROMs. I was going through the usual battery of GPS fixes and got it working again, but this fix runs circles around where it was. I was not able to get a lock inside before, then running the GPS test after this I got 10 locks inside.

Thanks for posting this.
