Built in Layar App ~ not working? - Galaxy S I9000 General

Guys,
Do any of you have any problems with the built in app Layer?
Every time I load it all I get is the Blue Layer logo and underneath a message saying 'Updating Featured'.
It does nothing else..... Left it running for 15mins and nothing!

I had this issue yesterday... I managed to get it to load once by keeping the screen alive for about 3 minutes... Seems strange. I also had the wonky horizon issue that's been posted.
Overall though, I felt the experience was great once in! It new where all my nearest ATMs were, even though I live in the sticks.

Thanks for the reply crabby.
I first logged in yesterday...... It worked after about 5mins (roughly as you mention) but the GPS was miles off.
I then went into Maps and no matter what I do my position at Home ALWAYS shows the same position which is approx 1ml to the West and a large error circle.
Tried switching On/Off both WiFi & GPS but no joy..
So it would appear I have two issues ~ Layar & GPS position.
Ahhh well.... back to the drawing board I'm afraid.

just so you know... My layar is now working. It takes about 30 seconds to load but then works fine. Haven't tried GPS yet...
Crabby

I havent able to make mine working! it's stuck at updating...

I had the same issue, I just reinstalled from the market place. I also think you get the latest version of layar. Hope it helps.

Yes, in the end after trying countless times I also went to The Market just as you and Downloaded/Installed the latest version.
It's quite a significant jump from being version 3.1 which is part of the Galaxy S ROM to version 3.5 downloaded from The Market.
Anyway, after installing v3.5 and running it I'm very happy to report Layar now loads practically straight away.
Now all I need to do is sort out my GPS issue and I'll be a happy surgeon.
Layar Reality mode and a bad GPS simply do not go together.

Yaaayy, I finally had this thingy working! All I did was let it do the "updating" part and 5 minutes later it was running!

guys is working fine on wildfire after you press on the game the screen goes black for like 20 secs maybe or something like that then you can hear music starting to play and you see something on your screen that aint black anymore ... at that point lock your phone then unlock it and it will work i can guarantee i got like at half of the game and now i'm playin angry birds seasons too

Is there some magic I have to do on the wildfire to get it to work?
I tried it today on my GFs wildfire I bought her for Xmas, Froyo, screen goes black, and graphics scroll around edges. It works fine on my Iphone and Galaxy.
I've completed seasons today, and jsut got Hang 'em high - IMO the hardest yet.
I installed mine two days ago (after upgrade to 2.2 stock). When click to open it gives me black screen for few seconds, then I lock and unlock phone and it goes in full screen. Works ok. Lags somethimes but not too much.
Advice: Turn off your conections before playing (that way you shut down adds).
Worked on 2.1 stock after lock/unlock, haven't yet tried on stock 2.2.
Anyway, some parts are missing due to low resolution, but playable, not as much fun as on desire, hangs sometimes.
I am waiting for PC version and QVGA support.

GPS STILL wonky?

I am running an unrooted stock vibrant. I got the Ji6 update a few weeks back, and I was told that it would improve my GPS. But apparently my GPS still doesn't work. I know there are alot of tweaks and hacks here on xda that supposedly fix the gps, but id rather wait and get the official fix from samsung. But if the ji6 was it, then im quite dissapointed. Does your stock vibrant still have a wonky GPS? Or did the update fix it for you?

GPS works great!
I am running Bionix 1.9. Last night on my way home, I was in an unfamiliar area on a small side street and got a little lost. I turned on my GPS and opened up Google Maps. Within two seconds it locked me in and gave me directions home. I noticed the address at the top of the screen where it said I was. I looked over at the house number and street I was on and it was exactly right.

I've never rooted either, and for me it's still not perfect. Sometimes it works well, but other times the location jumps around, or the phone hangs and has to be rebooted.
I've seen an improvement since the JI6 update, but my experience is if you use it enough you will encounter flakiness still.
Would be nice if subsequent updates improve things, but right now that's just a hope.
Yes I had a similar experience, with my stock vibrant which has the j16 update. Took over 5 mins to lock on to the gps signal.

What kind of GPS fixes did you do? Or did you just flash the bionix rom? Sorry im new to the whole hacking scene. If the GPS really works as well as you said, I might just consider rooting then..

I believe it's just plain bad hardware, and it's not competitive with most other current smartphones.
I've tried a bunch of ROMs, with similar results. The update gives you a faster lock and an accurate report on the number of satellites, which is nice, but it doesn't do anything for the core accuracy problems which plague the device and cause tracks/navigation issues. It doesn't help that the compass is also still very wonky, which causes Google Navigation to flake out when I'm stopped at a light.
All in all, it's very disappointing. I'm thinking of switching to the Nexus One due to this issue.
I've got an unrooted Vibrant bought in July 2010 whose GPS rarely worked and almost never locked on any satellites. After J16 I get a quick lock on 6-9 out of 11-12 satellites. I am satisfied with it now 99% of time for navigation purposes. I do sometimes get wandering of the target from Google Earth even when standing still.

I'm not so sure about that. I hooked it up to my bluetooth GPS and it looked good for a little while, maybe a few minutes, when sitting at my desk. Then it started going wacky, progressively bouncing the pointer farther and farther from the real position. It might be the software that's bad. I'm going to experiment with it tomorrow on a long trip and try various settings.
Its a hardware problem..

I have to agree. I had the built in car navigation and the vibrant side by side. The vibrant is 200 yards behind while moving. Even when pointing on the current location, it is wondering around the neighborhood on a 200 yard range.
So what's your explanation for what I see with an external GPS which works fine with a laptop? That a phone hardware problem too?
As far as using the internal I've seen it work for an hour fine and then start flippin out. Then again I've seen it flip out in 5-10 minutes.
Gps is one of those things I rarely think about until I have to actually use it. I just came from a week trip to Atlanta and it connected once during my week stay. The GPS on this phone is crap, I feel bad for anyone that has to use it daily. Luckily I got 3g there and was using google maps to help me find locations. My recent devices Milestone and HD2 connected within seconds. This thing is always searching for a signal with a clear view to the sky.
Im in North Florida if that means anything.
i ran bionix final which i think is the ota ji6, not the kies leak ji6 and the gps didn't work well. but the ji2 gps flash worked great, and the ji6 gps in bionix fusion works great.
you are posting on xda, if you just want to complain go to tmonews or something, otherwise there are a lot of easy fixes that are like 5 clicks away...
GPS works fine for me on JI6, however there seems to be a communications error between certain Google apps and the GPS. I use CoPilot. On Bionix Final my GPS went from good, to ok, to bad, to horrific in a matter of days.

I've seen some issues with Google Nav as well. Did some Googling and it's not just the Galaxy S or Samsnug phones. Many users with different brands and models have reported recent problems with the Nav and Map apps.
Very wonky
Here's a may I did yesterday. All was good fo awhile until I stopped for a turn and it went ape [email protected]*#.

I can assure you that at no time did I ever go 118 mph. This is just one sample. It does it all the time. I've tried every different firmware I can load including stock and I get the same results. I've tried all of the GPS fixes and nothing. Some days it never even locks. I'm convinced that it is a hardware issue.
GPS works for me most of the time. Sometimes it will show I'm in my house. Sometimes my neighbors. Sometimes down the street. A few times across the city.
I wish it was half as good as the wifi. This thing can pull in an access point like it had a high gain directional antenna built in.
I'm even more convinced it's the software. Now my external GPS won't lock either. Sees 12 sats, I can see the data coming in, but it never locks any sat.

GPS bug fixed with OCLF

Has anybody else experienced this? My GPS was all over the place before I ran the OCLF. Now it is spot on all the time. Fast fix AND on track all the time.
Now that's interesting. And you didn't change anything else bar installing oclf? Might be worth a try, I used to use oclf before I started using SpeedMod kernel for lag fix. What settings did you use?

Whats OCLF??
I just got my Galaxy S today and the GPS sucks at picking up signals!
It is an app used to fix some lag for the SGS.
You can find it on the market, Ryanza OCLF, it's One Click Lag Fix
Send it back - seriously - I have one and would get rid of it in a heartbeat because of such bad GPS problems. It doesn't get any sort of useful GPS fix. The Nexus S is supposedly a bit better so at least get that instead if you can't wait for Galaxy S 2

The thing is this... Use it for a few days with maps, nav, etc then tell us if its still fixed. A few good locks means nothing. In my experience the random inaccuracy is never really fixed... It's a faulty hardware design.

Hey, guys! I'm not sure if it's just me, but I just can't seem to run a Direction thing. I can't get my sgs to show me the route from my location to others at all. I live in southeast asia. Whenever i try it, it says, "transits routing isn't available...bla bla bla".
P.S. I'm rolling on 2.2 with oclf lagfix. 1850 benchmark score
Any idea WHY OCLF would help? Ask Ryanza? anyone with a clean phone see if v 2.2 does the same?

Make sure you have Use Wireless networks and Use GPS satellites in the options menu checked. If not, it will cause the phone to strictly rely on the wireless network which will cause crappy perfomance.

Download "GPS Status and Toolbox" from the Market, and keep your GPS cache/data cleared and reset every so often. Works wonders.
i use mine everyday (not so much for navigation but traffic data). works perfectly. there are times when it takes a while to get gps connection, but that's an exception, not the rule.
Ive had my shift for a little over a month. I quickly stopped relying on it for GPS directions but have enabled it for wifi mapping and other location infomation.
ie. facebook 'places' and gasbuddy

Was this by choice or because the gps was giving you problems. I have a shift and a evo and the shift is only a few seconds behind on getting a lock.

Mostly by choice. even though i live in the flattest part of Illinois it takes a little too long to connect. usually its time sensitive and i would rather just call for directions. still relevant to thread imo.
Side note: Yes, i've tried root/nonroot app solutions to speed it up, personally i'd rather call if the lock takes ~1min to connect.
My gps locks just fine within a few seconds; I'd say 10 seconds at the most. It's holding the signal that is the problem. And yes I've tried resetting agps data with gps tools and ##gpsclrx# to no avail. Took it back to radio shack, they tried a data profile and factory reset, and said if it doesn't work they will exchange it tomorrow. Of course it was no better. So I'll get to see if another phone is better tomorrow.
Mine works fine except on the military base I work on...then its sporadic lol

After more testing. Mine is working but a little wonky sometimes. I notice after a long wait it may take 30 seconds before locking. My Evo was instant even on cold start. Could they have put a cheaper gps radio to save money or could this just be a simple software fix.
I have serious GPS problems with this phone. When I first bought the Evo Shift 4G I thought it was defective hardware so I returned the phone for a replacement. My second Evo Shift 4G shows the same behavior. I don't know how they could have released the phone considering this major shortcoming. I had a Hero before this and its GPS worked pretty well. The Evo Shift 4G takes forever to get a lock, sometimes several minutes. I will not work for me indoors, even if I am on my porch. It is practically useless and I cannot depend on it at all, this makes many many features and applications I have come to love on Android practically useless. You don't realize how valuable location aware apps are until you can't use them I am debating if I should return the phone again and get a samsung epic, or if I should hope that they release a fix for this issues very soon. I don't know if it is something that could be fixed with an update though -- perhaps it is a hardware issues exclusively. I am very bummed because this phone is pretty fantastic otherwise.

The GPS on the Epic is fairly broken.
I did another test this morning and the gps would just drop signal for 10 minutes at a time. I would have to get out of Google navigation and go back in to get a lock. If this keeps up, I think I will go back to the EVO. I'll give it the 30 days first though. I love the phone otherwise. I am very dependent on gps and that really is a deal breaker. Maybe if this gets some attention it will get on the front page of a big site and HTC will realize its a problem.
I'm on CM7, so no GPS here .
If you are using Google Nav, it will suck.. using the Tel Nav that came with the phone is better . Maybe its also due to Google Nav since it is still in Beta....

I am hoping that any GPS problems will be worked out soon. I am wanting to upgrade two launch month Pres to EVO Shifts, and one of the main problems with our Pres is the GPS. My Pre constantly requires a restart before the Navigation will work correctly. My girlfriend's Pre has never worked well or consistantly.
Agreed. The GPS on this phone is jacked up. I just got back from a trip to California and the GPS goes in and out...WTF! I was driving through the desert with nothing blocking the signal.
It worked again for about 5-10 mins whenever i restarted the nav program then it goes in and out agian.
The EVO was great however, worked in two seconds.

Gingerstreak 2.4. Thoughts anybody?

Flashed the new gingerstreak 2.4 ROM a couple of days ago. And what can I say, it just works.
Apart from a screen lock issue (just goes black and locks up - removal of battery required. Suspect it's a Widgetlocker issue cos it doesn't do it when I revert to stock lock screen) and a charging issue (says that my charger is faulty if I use a 3m USB extension lead, ok if I dispense with the extension lead)
As far as I can tell. Tethering, bluetooth, wifi all work properly. (not tried VPN - don't need it, don't know how to set it up)
GPS, however is greatly improved. Now works in my lounge ( ground floor, reinforced concrete ceilings) Managed to navigate from my lounge to the toilet - journey time 6 secs. Average speed 3mph if you really wanted to know (I know how you guys love detail...)
I especially like the little text selection tab on text entry. Makes editing a breeze...
As for the much vaunted battery life. TBH I've not had enough time to evaluate. But when I can stop f****ing around with it, and revert to normal day to day operation. I'll have a clearer idea, and will post again, along with any other likes/dislikes/bugs that I find...
Incidentally, I backed up my entire SD card. Wiped it. And without any kind of back up, carried out the flashing procedure as detailed in untold places on these forums. Then manually re-installed all 130 odd apps.
Not convinced that nandroid or other backups work that well. I bit of a pain, but I think it's worth it.
I love this phone, and right now I think it's as good as anything out there ('cept maybe the SII. or the Sensation xe) And I'm not at all sorry that I upgraded to this. Can't be long before it loses it's beta status, surely..?

I switched to 2.4 from Fards 2.3 and the biggest difference seems to be that I longer get random slow downs and on 2.3 I would very rarely get a reboot a when doing heavy gaming and that its no longer the case. 2.4 feels like a perfect and stable ROM to me with no issues whatsoever as of right

Simply amazing I feel its the most stable Tom for the streak to date. Battery however still isn't great but, just like a car, if you buy a fast one youre not expecting good gas mileage. Also still needs the clocksync app.

Took the plunge myself this evening and it's mostly going well; EXTREMELY fast compared to 315!
Only bug I've found so far (and it's a biggie!) is that if I enable wi-fi, then I get an infinite crash-boot-loop. unfortunately, when I pull the battery and restart to get out of this loop, wi-fi is still enabled to the bug happens again! Took me a few tries to get in to the settings and disable wi-fi before it crashed again...
Since I disabled wi-fi it's been running like a dream!

Kinda wanted to throw my Streak in the trash. But after upgrading to GingerStreak 2.4 from StreakDroid 1.9, I love the device more than ever. So much smoother, faster and more reliable than before. I'm amazed really.
Haven't encountered any bugs yet. SuperUser problem was a minor blip.
IMHO anyone who says Gingerbread isn't much of an improvement over Froyo must be on crack (or just ignorant).

I don't have any wifi issues besides the occasional dropped connection. Never have it cause a reboot.

From what I've seen/read, it appears to be caused by the Wi-Fi sleep policy. The crash only seems to happen if you set the Wi-Fi to never sleep. Unfortunately, for me this is the only valid use of the Wi-Fi connection... what's the point if every time you turn the device on you have to reconnect to the network?
Anyway, that's the only real issue I've found so far. That and for some reason the "dimmed" buttons on widgetsoid switches are so dim they're invisible now... were fine in Froyo but I can't find a way to change it. Not really a GS issue though, just wanted to gripe

Add a background to widgetsoid. The reconnecting is no big deal for me.

One simple Question: Do i have to reflash amss coming from SD2.3? Or is the amss for this build the same as for the build before?
Btw.: Good work! Thanks to all the guys that contributed!
I'm using GingerStreak 2.4
But sometimes my streak boot couples of times before start up.
anyone knows why it happens?

One thing I've noticed is that Gingerstreak doesn't have the funky CRT-style sleep animation when pressing the power button :-(
Also strangely the signal, Wi-Fi and cellular data indicators keep randomly changing between white and green...
otherwise it's great! ;-)
Solved my locking up. Set wifi to always on, instead of off with screen, widgetlocker works just fine.....

Holy cow! GS 2.4 is flawless so far! Have yet to notice a single glitch. Smoothest ROM yet for streak. Animations don't hang at all, like they invariably did with ANY version of FroYo.
Wow!

easy response to that is ALWAYS follow instructions. If it says to install a baseband, it's propably for a good reason so best to do it!
Flash the dsp file with fastboot.
Is this in beta still? I do not see the usual introduction and download links.
