Every time I try to update my PRL or profile, I get:
Could not update your profile or PRL at this time. Please try again later. If the problem persists, please contact customer service
Error: Internal Error.
I'm rooted via joeykrim's 1 click root exploit. When I first got the phone, I was able to update the PRL successfully. Not sure if root is causing the issue. I was seeing the same thing on my rooted moment before this.
Anyone else having this issue?
you removed the Sprint .apks that are attached to this setting... i forget the full name of what they are acalled, but i think its something like
sprintandroidextension.apk

Sooo that's it? 160 views and nobody has anything?
I don't see what the big deal is. Even when I hadn't rooted my phone, I always got an error when trying to update profile or prl, so I don't see it as a big deal.
I remember there might be a way to update those things using your MSL (re: service programming).
Forgive My Brevity. To Be Or Not To Be...
I was also hav ing issues with updating my phone, even before I received the DI18 update, before I finally decided to root my phone. I had taken it in to the local store... they couldn't do anything to fix it, just did a bunch a resets and stuff. They had me call in to Sprint tech support, and basically got the same results. At this point, I was also starting to experience random reboots. Eventually they gave up and decided to replace my phone.
At the time, I didn't know much about rooting and stuff, so I didn't want risk it on a phone that wasn't fully functioning, just in case other issues arose later, then run into a problem getting it fixed because I had rooted my phone.
When I got my new phone, and everything worked as it should, I finally decided to root, and have never looked back.
I have been unable to update prl for the last few days. I get the message "internal error."
I'm rooted, using epic experience and the latest mixup kernel. The sprintandroidextension.apk is installed.
Does anybody have any idea what could be causing this?

Alright, I just tried this, no success. I did notice however that every time I try to update, it begins searching for prl and then data appears to turn off. Wifi turns off, 4g turns off, and even my 3g icon disappears.
Wiped everything 3x, installed latest epic experience along with phoenix kernel and the shabbypengquins latest battery tweak.
I was hoping this would work, but alas no. Same exact error.

I'm just hoping once Froyo comes out, it'll fix this issue.
Is there atleast a way to do it manually? With all of this 4g stuff going on there is more of a need to update more frequently I would think....

I came across the exact same problem. I also dropped my Epic (way before the problem began) and cracked the chrome and paint on the side of the bottom right corner. I brought it into my Sprint store, they ran the prl update twice, it failed. They had a brand new non remanufactured Epic the next day. This one runs way better and the vibrates stronger when pushing keys. I suggest you bring it in and get a new one.
Forgot to mention I was outside of my 30 days, I had the phone for 60 days. They still replaced it.

I purchased mine from Radioshack, so I'm guessing the Sprint store won't be as helpful. I'm not quite ready to give up and try to use the warranty on it, this is just a little bit frustrating.
I was able to update the PRL before...
Also, there is a thread on SDX about the problem too.

I'd suggest waiting for froyo to come out and then try to see if you can update the PRL. That's what I'm hoping for anyways. If it doesn't work then, then it's going back.
If it turns out you have to bring it in, Sprint called it a defect in the phone so they didn't make me use insurance which also means I didn't get a refurb but a brand new one. Funny thing the very first time I ran the prl in store before walking out I got the internal error again but the salesman hit it again and it went through. I've been testing it for two weeks now and it works every time

I've been having the same problem the last two days. I'm not rooted or anything so I don't know what's going on but it's irritating.
Does anyone know of a utility to reset the internal GPS completely?
I use location-based tools all the time, and this annoying GPS failure in EC05 is a real PITA.
I know some folks have had some luck doing a "cold start" using the GPS Status utility, but this has not worked for me.
Symptoms are that the GPS works fine for a while, then loses lock. Going into GPS status reveals no satellites visible at all, and the GPS icon on the notification bar is gone..
Using Menu/Tools/Manage A-GPS state I have tried both reseting the state (cold start) and downloading assistance data. Turning the GPS off and on again also does nothing. OTOH, if I simply reboot the phone, the GPS comes back right away.
Many have reported this issue was fixed in EB13, but came back in EC05. I'm running SRF 1.1 right now, but I also had this problem in the stock EC05 that I received OTA.
Having the GPS just work properly all the time would be ideal. But short of that, being able to restart it from scratch without having to reboot the phone would be an acceptable workaround. Even a command-line utility would be better than nothing.
-Sean
It's aggravating... I have the issue and I too am waiting for some kind of fix/workaround.
I use my GPS at my evening job pretty extensively. I suffered from this issue on DI18 ROMs daily, but I haven't experienced it yet since the dk17 froyo beta.
Exact same problems here. I am on Bonsai 4 but have also had the same problem with all the other EC05 roms I've flashed and the stock EC05. It was fantastic while it was working in EB13.

To those still having this issue, what method did you use to get to EC05?
It came back in ec05 because people didn't use the fixes we used in going from di18 > dk28 > eb13. Search these threads and do what we did and you won't have the problem either.

I was on whatever the stock Eclair release was out of the box -- bought the phone literally the day after Sprint suspended the EB13 OTA rollout.
I got EC05 pushed to me OTA a month later. GPS had the same issue on Eclair and EC05.
To get from the OTA EC05 to SRF I had to Odin back to EB13, but I only had EB13 on the phone for a few minutes -- did not test the GPS behavior.

I've tried a few things.. but at present, I went back to stock Eclair through Odin, then took the OTA to EC05.
Basically, I installed clean, so it's a mystery to me why others don't have this. Actually I think quite a few do, but haven't realized it yet... because the first time you get a fix after boot, it works magnificently well... 3-10 seconds. Great.
It's the down time after that, the hours that pass after that first fix that seems to change things. Without doing anything specific, just using the browser and other things.. the ability to AGAIN get a fix is hindered. Sometimes the GPS doesn't get one at all.
I'll let all the smart guys work on this one. I'm just a competent end user with no real knowledge of how the GPS works.
Just wanted to chime in..
I was waiting for someone to bring up this issue. Symptoms identical to OP's. Stock eclair worked perfectly, and this problem appeared in eb13, after a manual update. Ec05 did not change a thing and Gps status cold start did not help either.
This sucks since I use gps all the time.

As I noted above, I'm not a real gifted technician.. but I'm guessing this issue has something to do with the internal compass. I noticed that my two co-workers who both bought the Epic based on their favorable impressions of my phone, had issues with screen rotation after going from stock Eclair to EC05. Neither are advanced users. Neither rooted or otherwise messed with their phones. I too have tinkered with the compass.. the upside-down calibration and the terminal command pertaining to Yamaha.
I can effect the quality and time of the fix by waving the phone in a figure eight pattern in an attempt to calibrate.. so I'm thinking it's all related.
Running SFR 1.1.0 and I haven't experienced this yet. Took a three hour walk yesterday and CardioTrainer locked me the entire time even through the trails.
How long does it usually take for GPS to lose lock?
If it matters, I only enable GPS, not network-based location.

On DI18 based ROM's, the GPS data cache would not flush itself properly and you would lose GPS functionality usually within hours after it seemed to be working fine. My evening job I work as a delivery driver, and I would have to reboot my phone a couple times a night because of this bug. But as I stated earlier in this thread, I have not experienced this bug since dk17. I did experience some issues in DK28 where the GPS signal would drop out for a few seconds here and there, but since EB13, it's been perfect. No issues. My other Epic is stock EC05, so I will run some tests with that one tonight to see if I can get it to foul up.
So is anyone running Bonsai 4 experiencing this problem at all?
My understanding is that Bonsai uses an EB13-based kernel with only select EC05 elements, so perhaps it is not prone to this issue. If that's the case, that may be enough to make me switch to Bonsai from SRF.
It would also appear that the problem is not universal across all EC05 (and EC05-based ROM) users, as there have been several reports in this and other threads from people with no GPS problems at all. This makes me wonder, among other things, whether or not some specific app or module is either causing (or clearing?) the problem. Since lots of folks on stock OTA have the issue, that would likely be an OEM app.
This problem is a real PITA for me as I use the GPS all the time. Really, really want to find a solution.

If you just want to reset your GPS cache data, there is an onboard utility invoked by a dialer code. Open your phone dialer and punch in
##GPSCLRX#
That opens a dialog that requires you to key in the MSL code for your phone. Normally the Sprint support desk has to give this to you. (If they do, write it down for future use.) There are other methods to find the MSL, including this one.

Thanks, I have the MSL. I've also now placed a shortcut on the home screen directly to this utility, which actually bypasses the MSL. From Launcher Pro, long press on a blank area then select Shortcuts/Activities/com.android.hiddenmenu/GPSCLRX.
We'll see if using this GPSCLRX utility brings the GPS back to life next time it locks up.
While I am on the hiddenmenu subject, does anyone know which module is the GPSsetup utility? Supposedly this ships with the phone, and was previously (pre-Froyo) invoked with the dialer code *#1472365# but, according to threads on some other Galaxy-S forums, Samsung changed the code due to customer abuse. The alleged replacement code does not work for me, and I've tried all the obvious modules in hiddenmenu with no success.
In the interim, I've flashed LBSTestMode, which seems to work fine for reading and testing the GPS chipset, but is purportedly for a different chipset and so it is not clear if it can actually change settings (see androidforums.com/samsung-epic-4g/308885-gps-aquistion-ec05.html).

I could not find anything. The only Activity I saw with GPS in the name was the aforementioned GPSCLRX. However I should note that I am on SRF 1.1.0, and it is possible that K0nane removed this module from the ROM. Does anyone know if it is in the stock EC05 build? Also, what's the .apk named, so I can try to find it and load it?

Not really.
Honestly, if you have tried all of those roms, including stock, and it doesnt work, thats a sign the gps is just broken. Unroot, flash stock, and take it to sprint.
recently realized mine is broken too, nothing seems to get it working again. tried the MSL fix, tried a stock sense rom.
i have a hard time believing the GPS just broke one day. its hard for me to know when it stopped working though, or with which ROM, because i dont use it all the time. from most recent to oldest from what i remember, ive used: Fresh, OMGB, mikz 1.1, warmz, warm twopointtwo, and i forget what before that.
any help is greatly appreciated.

I am currently on Fresh Evo, and my GPS wasn't working even after multiple attempts at the "MSL fix". After doing this GPS Status "A-data" fix, i am now getting GPS lock in google maps!
Ill post updates, as I want to move to CM7, but wanted to make sure my GPS was working first.
Ok, I need help troubleshooting/fixing my GPS.
Here is what is going on. I got the Vibrant when it first came out, I had the normal GPS problems as everyone else. Once Samsung released the GPS update, I applied it, and my GPS worked (as good as it could).
So everything was cool, until I installed KB1, my GPS died, never locked onto sats. So today I just tried istalling KB5 through Kies to see if this would resolve my issue. NOPE, GPS is still dead.
Next, I installed Rooted and deodexed KB5. My GPS is still dead. I have run Samsung's GPSRESTORE app, but it gets stuck on "Position FIX" and tells me to move to open sky and try again. I AM STANDING OUTSIDE.
My GPS DID WORK PRIOR TO UPDATING TO KB1, THEN DIED when I installed KB1. Something happend when I installed KB1.
My GPS is completely dead.
Any suggestions?
Try hardware fix, your GPS antenna might not even be connected inside.

I don't think my issue is related to the GPS antenna. I say this because my GPS did work, but instantly went dead when I updated to KB1.
Clearly the two are connected, something happened after I installed KB1, unrelated to the antenna.
try flashing a custom rom. Seems like you've only tried the stock roms with broken gps. Look in the development section for the plethora of gps healthy roms.

Do the custom roms use a modified modem other than the one the stock uses? The dev went into kb5 modem and modified it?
Otherwise it should give the same result, if the modems are the same. No?
What happens if you ODIN to original firmware and then update to JI6 build which is 2.1 eclair ? Test it with this setup and check your gps under clear sky.
Next, try connecting to wifi and opening google maps. Also, do you have a dedicated gps app like copilot installed? Try opening that

Can you explain the reason behind connecting with wifi? The issue is I don't connect to any satellites anymore. The GPS app I use is GPStest by chartcross.
Correct JI6 was official OTA update that was supposed to fix the GPS.
The reason I ask about wifi is because its possible that there maybe an issue with your sim and data so wifi will help google maps use data without your sim

Hmm, you can download JI6 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798125&highlight=T959UVJI6
Regarding sim, I was just thinking a temporary issue with your area or your account. Have you performed hardware fix in the past? The reason I ask is sometimes the contact comes lose and breaks if you bent it too much.

Sucks but seems like your gps is dead then. I'd say send it to Samsung and they should fix it. You could try opening the phone but why go through the hassle only to find the gps has electrical problem and needs replacement.
Good luck dude, didn't see you here since Froyo was rolled out
Sounds like it's dead. ODIN back to stock and exchange it for another.
I have the same issue.
I wish it had happened BEFORE I did the FFC mod and voided my warranty.
I may have to open this sucker up yet again to see if I can do another hardware fix.
ugh.
Put the stock cam back in, paint hole with black nail polish, then send in for warranty. I did with mine when my usb port got wonky. No questions were asked, and all of the in store sales reps knew I modded my phone.

Was it accurate before that on Jaybob's rom? I have never had that issue and I have been using that as my daily for months. Therefore, it is probably something on Sprint's end unless...have you tried any tweaks as well recently (Like the V6 that I use)? Data and WiFi show the same results?
Try going back to a Sense (stock) rom and see what you are showing. Also, while you are on that rom, update PRL, PRI.
Sometimes my maps will start at someplace else, but once I hit the locate button, everything is correct. So, hopefully you will find the fix. Good Luck!
It was. I ran CM7 since its release, and CM6 before that. I decided to try Jaybob's out. I absolutely love his ROM and it doesn't eat my battery as much as CM did. This is the only bug(besides the ghost vm problem Ive been dealing with since I first rooted and rom'd)I've encountered. I don't think its any problem with the ROM, just something I am not familar how to fix. I tried WildHeroC RC2's sense rom with the same results. I will flash back and update the PRL and PRI and show results. If you can't tell, I am a novice at this. I was able to root and rom my phone with no problems, but as far as knowing as to what update does what, I am foggy. I limp through the majority of it as I learn, but let me try the updates. Thanks!
I've updated my PRL. Discovered something else. It only displays me in SC when Im sitting at my desk at work. I'm just going to ignore it. I also discovered that there is an Airave in the company who shares our building. Im not sure if that's interfering with the accuracy or not. Im just going to ignore it, I know where Im at when Im at work. haha. Thanks for the help!
I have the same issue when I'm at home, except my network location says I'm in China
Everywhere else it's perfectly fine.
