Looks like they did it to us now. This happened with the JH7 update for the Captivate. Now it looks like there keeping us out of LbsTestMode also.
It's a new code for the J16 update.
Here ya' go.

Thank you! That worked. Looks like it is using the old (original firmaware) settings.

Yes it is,
so i changed back to original before the update,
just download "Any Cut" and make a shortcut to the Activity "LBstestmode"... works like a charm.

Also if you have launcher pro (free) you can make an LBS test mode shortcut as well.

Is there any explanation why Lockbot doesn't work on X10, while it works on every other phone.

I really would like to use this program, but so far I can't manage to get it work.
Cheers,

I'd like to know that too, never worked for me either.
Works for me on x10a, had to set the sleep mode on phone settings, doesnt work if i manually lock it, sometimes will run both screen locks. Would be a very kool program if it worked properly.

I am actually on the opposite of that opinion scale. I think swype does a great job at typing/predicting what I wanted.
What about the hardware locked 3 button issue
Did they fix the hardware locked 3 button issue in this official OTA?

Did they fix the isues with the stock music player? (problems with large music databases, no .m3u support)
I heard that if you are rooted you can still get OTA updates because you don't change the firmware. Is this true? Because I would like an OTA update to fix my GPS. and i'm simply rooted for wifi tethering.
I noticed everything in the first post plus.
1. Photo Viewer/Gallery shows newest photos first. The way it should have been!
GPS does appear to be fixed. Using GPS Test from the Market I was NEVER able to get more than 2 satellites in use (even though it would see 10 to 12). Right after I updated, I went outside and within 10 seconds GPS Test said it was using 9 out of 10!!!!
Used MyTracks to track me and walked around the campus...it wasn't a perfect track but it was WAY better than before. This was just a short test, but based on what GPS Test is telling me I have to think that it is indeed fixed.
That was my experience. I was rooted via the OCLF app without the lag fix installed. The update installed fine and when it was all done I was still root.

Edit contact - select ringtone,
choose sound -> and browse your mp3 file.
anyone found the gps secret codes to turn on and off such as standalone vs assisted gps etc.. none of the sgs normal codes appear to work.
*8329#
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
are you sure doest do squat on my phone.????
try these
*#*#1472365#*#* - GPS test
*#*#1575#*#* - Another GPS test
already tried them..
the first does not work.
the second goes into a sort of menu but not the one i/we need to set the normal gps options.

I don't have the S2 yet, so can't test this, but on my SGS I use Any Cut to create a link directly to LbsTest. You might give that a try.
The option for assisted and standalone GPS is in the settings menu.
Settings > Location and Security > Sensor aiding

Sorry, not sure how to determine that. In Any Cut I select "New shortcut", then "Activity", and select "LbsTestMode". It creates the shortcut. I've tried the "Edit existing shortcut" function but it just sits there with a blank screen, so no help there.

that may work fine except there is no "lbstestmode" in the list on the sgs ii
here is the fix.. well mostly the antenna and cns tests dont seem to work or cns is broken on our phone.. anyway
take this app.. copy it to /system/app with root explorer or adb push.
(need to be rooted)
then use anycut (free in the market) to add an activity shortcut to this app (secret codes still fail to work)
i have set mine to coldstart a i like etc. and now am getting much faster initial fixes after running get position test.
accuracy is still **** and much higher than my sgs.. but not sure the sgs was not lying about accuracy.
strange they didn't include the lbstest app in the roms
I think GB comes with AngryGPS.apk (lbstestmode was for froyo/eclair), and the code to invoke it is *#3214789650# if I'm not mistaken..
Don't have the GSII though, so can't confirm..
Edit: Attached a AngryGPS.apk found in the I9000 Android dev forum

Since you have this working can you tell us what the default setup is for the SUPL/CP settings? On the SGS many people got better results by modifying the Server to either "supl.google.com" or "supl.nokia.com". I know this could turn into another mishmash of user tweaks and deadends, but it seems Samsung has not fully resolved all their GPS issues.
(I don't have a S2 to test with, so relying on those here to help me make a buying decision. Thanks.)
new solution here is angrygps.apk
i asked someone in the sgs forum to post it and they did
again copy to system/app with root explorer or adb
and use anycut to create shortcut
works fine on our phone..
as for the other answer the default is hot start (which i change to cold start)
and also for suppl settings
it is
supl.google.com
7276
but supl secure socket is on.. which was not on on the sgs i
so i turned it off on mine.. (who the fff cares if your gps data going over the net is secure)

Thanks.
Just as a suggestion if you are having GPS issues you might try using supl.nokia.com, 7275. I've tried every tweak on my SGS and using this supl server definitely works best for me, as well as a number of posters on the SGS forum. But as always YMMV.
(edit: corrected port #)
Great device!
Anybody managed to get the Quick controls from the "Lab" settings to work in the stock browser. It seems there are some problems with this feauture on the gal tab.
Also, are there any international versions out there yet? Mine only support UK/US English and Spanish. Samsung Netherlands "promised " that there will be an update. Wonder if there are roms floating around that have international support yet.
Nope. I wriggled my way back into the settings (I think through bookmarks) and disabled it after it nukes my address bar and tabs.

Pretty big omission. Will see if I can get the browser of the Xoom system dump to work. Btw there may be some interesting other goodies in this dump. The dump is posted in the Xoom development forum.
Update: I've just got it to work. There's a trick to it: you've got to slide 1 finger from the frame onto the screen.
Got this from:

Yes I'm familiar with it. I used it on the Xoom. But it doesn't seem to work on my Tab.
Umm.. weird. But try this anyway: I've got it to work once I got into debug mode. I'm pretty sure it didn't work before. So try it out, who knows.

As am I!

Yes use shortcut master lite to create the new profiles.
So should all users of S8+ Sprint version get the OTA, or some of us still need to wait. Cause I checked today, and it says I am on latest version of software (i.e 7)?
Yeah, but it's no good at this time. It kinda made the phone slower.

Mine are "blured" out. Can't adjust.
