i searched everywhere and cannot find a solution to the problem. my weather isn't updating and my gmaps isn't locating me either. a couple observations..
1)weather does update when im connected to wifi
2) i tried different methods people used in the forum like - disabling my location, soft reset, plug into activesync, and re enable (doesn't work). i also tried going into settings>connections>connections>manage existing connections> and checking the access point name. (doesn't work). also, using advanced config>gps>turning off gps logging and setting size to 0. (doesn't work)
3) i tried flashing different radios and eventually running a task29 to see if that would fix it. nothing.
im starting to lose hope if ever fixing it. anyone please helpp

OK, i just fixed mine today, it had been showing the weather in the 20 F's and it's up to 80s here in fl. so .... i kept messing with it and I ended up accidentally pressing that little timestamp to the upper righthand corner with the circled arrows. See if that helps?
nope, didnt seem to work. the arrows just spin and spin and nothing ever updates. any other ideas?
how about run your gps and let it detect your gps hardware and also allow it to detect your location?
(if not can you exchange it with a new one and test it out from the store?)
Guys please help this guy out!!

when you say "run your gps", you mean like enable gps in google maps and let it detect? ya i did that and it works fine, with it off, its still supposed to get me a location by the towers or somethin'. with gps on or off, my weather still doesn't update
im running the cell rom and hspl and feel extremely lazy undoing everything just to do an exchange. plus no t-mobile has inventory.... i work there.. so i know lol

Yes, your location and weather won't update until it can find your location via at least aGPS. You're saying that you can open google maps and get a satellite locked position? The next thing to check is that in both your WM GPS settings and your google GPS settings, you have them set to "managed by windows"

Hmmm. What does it show in your device GPS settings (all settings-system-external GPS-"programs" and "access" tabs)? And, also in your location settings (settings tab-location)?
My location [weather] is not updated by GPS. Its updated by cell towers. The only way I know of fixing this problem is to try different radio roms.
yes the com settings match. and Google does locate my position. weather still no update. i would have to agree that it has to do with the radios. anyone know of a radio that works?
I'm on 2.08.50.xxx radio

Yeah I know, but whenever I hard-reset, I don't get my location to update until I go into gmaps and get it to achieve a lock, then my location updates immediately after that.

Hello all,
I'm aware that this might be better placed in the thread announcing the FW release itself, but there seems to be turning into wailing wall where ppl who raise issues but they're left unanswered (I asked the same questions there but in vain).
The issues / questions I have with wrt that realease
1) Serious issue: 3G data connection.
No matter what settings the phone does initiate a data connection -- I enabled "Use packet data", enabled "Data Roaming" (even if I'm in my home netw) and even set the network mode to "WCDMA only", but all to no avail: There is no 3G icon close to the signal strength bars in notification area and the the "Mobile Network State" in the Status is reported as "Disconnected" and the phone cannot connect to the data network
Everything worked perfectly fine in JM release.
2) The one click lag fix does not work on XXJPH
The one click lag fix linked from the first post in the release thread (namely this lag fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8223512) is, as per version 1.6.7 (which seems to be the last one) not relevant for XXJPH, but there are references to a "release 2" of the said fix. However, I cannot locate that .... Am I missing smth here ?
3) Input language selection.
There is a very limited set of input languages that can be selected. In particular, there is no choice for scandinavian languages (swedish / norwegian / danish). Can that be added ?
TIA for the feedback.
Florian
1) Have you set a valid APN in mobile connections?
2) I don't use a lagfix in JPH, its running very smooth and fast for me
3) no idea
I'm currently using 3G data and OCLF on my JPH.
Did you wipe your data/cache?
First and foremost, thanks for the quick input.
1) Yes, I did a data wipe / factory reset after flashing -- since that was what the FW instruction said (and it felt better that way)
2) Maybe this info is buried somewhere deep in the FW thread and I've missed it, but I haven't seen any instructions that I need to define an APN "manually" -- it all "just worked" in JM / JM1 without that.
Anyway, after you pointed that out I defined a new APN (took me a while to find how and what to set in there...) but now I got a 3G connection.
So many thanks for that.
The question on how to add additional input languages still stands.
Thanks again for the help.
What CSC file did you use?
Because I think the APN Settings are coming from the CSC, not the Firmware itself (PDA File).

Why do people always forget that Finland (and also Iceland) are a part of Scandinavia? Anyway good to know this.
What about bluetooth? I read in the other thread it doesn't work properly.
Bluetooth works fine
1) You don't have any APNs set up (well none the phone can use anyway) - that's why you have no 3G (or 2G) data. Search for how to configure APNs manually
2) OCLF (one click lag fix) works perfectly with XXJPH. Make sure you have correctly rooted your phone.
3) This is a development release, not one which has gone through all the localisation that a full release goes through.
Seen a lot of people having problems with one click lagfix. From my experience the only thing that stops it working is having apps moved to sd card, use app manager and make sure all apps are on phone then re run and it should work.
On the other issuse i haven't suffered from any of them

As I wrote in my previous post, as soon as someone pointed out that I need to configure the APNs I did that and now both Internet and MMS are working fine. However, I haven't seen anywhere mentioned that this was needed with this firmware version (and, again, this was never an issue with the previous versions).

Thats absolutely not true!!
For Scandinavien readers: "no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skandinavia"
For all others: "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavia"
The original and "true" term Scandinavia is only referring to Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Sorry You Finnish guys!

Sorry for being so thick (well, I'm new to Android...) but it seems that in order to (re)mount the "/system" partition in read-write mode (where these files must go) I must root my device anyway...
Or is there any easier/simpler alternative ?
2) The one click lag fix does not work on XXJPH
- Your phone has to be rooted.
- If you use One Click Lag Fix v1.6.7 by RyanZA UNINSTALL all apps on SD card: Settings-> Applications->Manage Applications->On SD card->remove all apps (e.g. Google Earth, Angry Birds)
You can re-install the apps after you have applied the 'OneClickLagFix V1+"
I've done some more reading and fixing it does look like "Major PITA": One needs to root the phone and there are some instructions on how to root JPH at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8157213&postcount=289.
Still, that doesn't look for the faint of heart (or for those who lack the time and/or will to go through the process, for that matter).
Moreover, since the official 2.2 release is due in 3 days, I guess I'l live with the JPH as it is on my phone wait for that instead.
Thanks to all that tried to help.
ONLY problem I have is wireless errors sometimes, but can be solved by turning WiFi on in actual settings menu.

Well, I have "issues" with that as well -- if the WiFi is turned on, then data network traffic goes through the WiFi instead of 3G (normal behavior). However, when the WiFi is turned off I need to toggle the phone on and off a few times before the 3G connection is re-established.
Anyway, hope that all that will be fixed in the official version...
Sometimes after cancelling calls my JPH just stays black screen ... need to pull the battery.
I found GPS really best through all builds ... but not satisfying. It gets a fix kind of quick but isnt very accurate :/
OCF, Bluetooth and swype are just working fine :> no issues there. Especially market is just cool ... no fix needed. Found flash and looks like all apps are there.
Hi everyone,
I'm posting a message there, because I think it's my last chance to have a nice idea before hard-resetting my Galaxy S (XWJS5).
I was playing with the LbsTestMode to change the settings of the GPS (and I tried also to access it through SGS Toolbox). I changed a few values, restarted the phone and GPS is OK.
The problem now is that I can't stop it anymore. In the switch I have in the upper notification bar, GPS icon is always green, and when I go to "Settings > Location and Security" the checkbox next to "Use GPS Satellites" is checked. I can uncheck it, and go back, but if I enter again in the same menu, it is again checked. It seems the value of this parameter is not recorded...
Do you have any idea? Could it be a problem of rights on some folder or files? I'm quite desperate with it...
Thanks in advance!

change cp status
change it and restart phone see if that helps
Thanks
Thank you for your answer... I didn't know this code! I will try it. But in fact I "hard-resetted" my phone yesterday evening to solve it!
I keep it anyway. Do you think it is possible that SGS Toolbox broke it? (my phone is rooted and SGS Toolbox has su rights by the way)

Ok, in fact, on antoher forum (french board) we are regrouping many people having the problem. The code given above to change cp status (*#1575#) doesn't help to solve the problem.
I think it can come from the secgps.conf file or maybe Jupiter.xml, isn't it possible?
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.

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.

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..

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.

Hello,
i am having problems with my phone GPS system. I used all the tricks and apps like Faster fix or GPS fix, etc i also used the *#*#3214789650*#*# fix explained by kyrillos13 and still nothing. I tried gps test on TTFF test and after like 20 minutes got a fix an ran all tests 5 times an got the fix after about 2 minutes at the end of the tests. But after 15 minutes when tried the GPS again nothing happend and also when using faster fix i got a message "NO FIX". I have the latest rom I5800XXJPQ updated with kies. It's not rooted.
Can someone help me in dealing with this GPS problem.
Thanks in advice!!!

Fix didn't helped me much. I had to run test every time before using GPS unless it will "Your location is temporary unavailable". Any permanent fix? quite annoying to run test every time.

Hmm. Then no idea. :/ I get a good fix.
Hi,
Like you, tried everything after using Kies to upgrade to Froyo on my UK Orange I5801.
I do have Octy's GPS Optimisation loaded and I am rooted having used SuperOneClick, nothing else would do it, Thanks Orange!
None of the codes on the keypad worked either, they seem to have locked things even after rooting.
GPS Fix although looking like it worked, it didn't change the GPS config as shown later when I managed to create shortcut for GpsSetup2.
I do have LauncherPro, and this allowed me to make a shortcut on my homepage for GPSSETUP2, but I couldn't use it to create a shortcut for LbsTestMode, it's not there under Activities, which I understand would have been the easier route.
Using the newly created shortcut for GPSSetUP2 I was able to adjust the settings.
It was the blind leading the blind, but eventually I managed to set the config so that it now gets a fix in a matter of seconds, probably assisted by Octy's GPS Optimisation, I don't have the B*lls to uninstall it, why fix it if it ain't broke.
So here's my settings.
Settings
Parameter Settings/Address
Server Type UMTS SLP
Address Type URL
Address supl.google.com:7276
Parameter Settings/Start mode Cold Start
Parameter Settings/SSL Enable SSL Disabled, SSL Type VerSign
Parameter Settings/Position Mode Option2....STANDALONE. UP MS BASED. UPMS ASSISTED
Fix Request Settings
Fix Request Settings/Session Type New Position
Fix Request Settings/Session Operation MS-Based
Fix Request Settings/Number of Fixes 999999999 (9x9)
Fix Request Settings/Time between fixes 1000
Fix Request Settings/Session Timeout 180
Fix Request SettingsAccuracy 50
Fix Request Settings/Server Option Local,.....this seemed to be the killer,
mine was still at "default" suggest you try this first.
All other settings "Commands" and "gpsOneXTRA" were left as default.
I hope this helps someone.
best wishes
Steve
Thank you all for posting. I will try all your steps and with luck i will finally get a better signal and a more fast GPS connection.
I installed Sumee 3.1 which has some GPS fixes installed, and i could say that i get a fix at about 2-3 minutes and this after installing fasterfix.apk and after making the changes posted by kyrillos13.
