for some reason, the 2 times ive flashed custom roms on my phone modaco 1.1 and 1.2 the internet stops working. everything else works perfectly find and the evdo sign shows up, but the internet just does not work. any work around?
and why is it that everytime i try and restore from recovery on my phone, it says
error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh
restore' via adb!
im guessing i have to run it via my computer and if i do what do i type in??

Several people have reported this, have you tried Fresh rom? Not saying anything against MoDaCo at all, but it seems people have intermitent data issues.

thanks ill try that and for some reason restore never ever works on my damn phone and the backups are on my phone pretty weird but thanks again
I am running the new Fresh 1.0, he released it last night or this morning. It is GLORIOUS! I LOVE IT. Except, I think the lock screen is a little ugly, I can deal with it though. There are ways to change the lock screen which I may do later today.
i want to use clear as a bell but that doest work yet on 1.0 correct?
post back a link to it and I will load it up and see if it works. Saves you the effort, and i was planning on trying other stuff anyways. Who knows I may like it.

ok just downloaded fresh 0.7 everything works again except internet calls sms everything but no internet???
Just looking back through previous threads of yours. You have run RUU and everything havn't you?
I am at a loss if you have done the RUU and still get no data.
idk what the hell is the problem i ran the ruu back to stock internet is fine i rooted internet still fine flash recovery internet fine install rom internet dead lol
Yeah, thats really odd. Do you have any Root apps installed? Other than maybe WiFi Tether. DroidWall? App manager? anything that could be killing or blocking 3G?
i had droid wall just uninstalled and rebooted i also have overclock widget does that effect it? shouldnt right?
Droid Wall definetly woudl break internet. Maybe it left some stuff behind on the uninstall? A setting or something? Apps2SD is on, it may still have stuff on the SD card. You could try to format it again since you cant actually see that partition...long shot though.
Does the Over Clock widget work? See a difference?
it was droid wall you my friend are the ****! (in a good way of course) lol
might sound stupid but yea overclock does feel like it really work lol. going thru the menu seems so much faster! and when your not using the phone you dial it all the way down, and it really saves the batter
Android 200456, Karl +1 SCORE!
Glad you got it fixed.
people at work are going to hate me lol, i had a customer come in and he was like =O ill pay you lol.i might have to do a side business lol
tethering doesnt work for me on 0.7 =/ it says start tethering stays there then it says su request but it doesnt let me hit always allow because the options dont even show up =/
You should have a Super USer Permisions app in the app drawer. See if the permisions for the app are in there. If they are, long press and delete them. If not, you may have to get the APK for the latest build and push it. Make sure that you Allow all, its the only way mine works at least, otherwise i dont get access.
sorry the reply took so long I didnt get an email that you posted back.
So im receiving my Vibrant on Monday, and from what I have read a lot of people seem to say that you should do a factory reset on it. Should I do this straight out of the box so I dont have to do it later on once everythings installed on it? And is there anything I can do to make the battery last a little longer? such as charge it up all the way, drain it completely, and charge it up again, and do this cycle three or four times or does it not help at all?
What I would like to know overall is what should I do straight out of the box to fix (if possible) the issues with the:
1. GPS (I understand the GPS and Compass issue are going to be fixed in the first OTA update, but until then can I do anything?)
2. Compass
3. Lag
4. Battery drain
5. Should I immediately do the factory reset, or wait and see if I have any issues?
From what I have read, it seems like 100% of people have issues with the phone, but maybe thats just because the people who dont have any issues with it are out enjoying the phone?
All help is extremely appreciated!!!!
C'mon, just enjoy the new phone.
jake...
exuse my most basic of basic questions. I am fairly new to the droid phones.
I see your question of problems with the Vibrant.
Well,you said GPS, and then compass
Well I know what GPS is, and I certainly know what a compass is.
HOWEVER, Not within the text of a phone. Is it simply a compass that is used by a GPS to function?? Again, excuse my bare bones knowledge guess. I should have PM'd you it is so silly. Maybe not
I would love to hear back from you. It sounds like you try to be one step ahead of the game. I would love it if you had the time to take to PM me...could you
My name is Eric (If I hear any more I will pass it on)

i really want to. but i have had so many issues with phones that this time I really want to know if there is anything I can do to prevent issues in the future.
The simplest guide to happiness with your new Vibrant
Reset it out of the box
Root
Install SetCPU
DONE
You should use a black or dark background to reduce drain on the battery and you also have to give the battery some time to adjust. GPS should be fine, but if it's not you should do a reboot first and you should try increasing accuracy before doing anything else. I have my Vibrant and I don't need any of the "fixes" to get a solid GPS lock. Solid enough for now until Samsung issues an update so we can lock onto more sats. I've seen the latest beta perform extremely well, locking on 6 sats at a time with 10Ft of accuracy (moving).
I just got my Vibrant today and was using the GPS just fine without a master reset or anything. Didn't even know there was an issue lol

great! thanks for help. the only issue is the rooting part... i can root a phone if i wanted to no problem, but the only issue i have with rooting is voiding my warranty-my MyTouch was replaced three times under warranty-if i need to replace this phone for any reason I would like to keep my warranty.
now i just have a question tho, how do i increase my GPS accuracy? all i see are threads on 'fixing' it.
thanks for the help,

Increasing the accuracy number (not "accuracy" in the literal sense) can be done by accessing the LBS (location based services) menu. It's under Application Settings from there. The code for getting there is in all of the fix threads. Just increase the stock 50 number to 100 and it should lock a bit easier.
Root, I don't believe there is a way to unroot back to stock. Not 100% sure on that so someone else can correct me. Root would only be useful for SetCPU, the ability to take screenshots and other minor things. No WiFi tether is reliably working right now which is bothersome and one of my biggest reasons for rooting.

That's one way to help, make sure all of your syncing is done at the longest intervals and things of that nature.. keep WiFi on for when the screen goes off you have WiFi.

Thanks for the great questions and posts in this thread. It helps.
Alec and Heygrl...I saw you ask about increasing the GPS accuracy of the Vibrant.
Then this code appeared. I have just never seen that. So I just type that in
My GPS is ok at best. If I use the code, and it was't quite necessary, it wouldn't hurt it, would it.
Thank you for your help, and your help throughout the thread

it would not hurt it. if it did, you could just change the setting back to 50.
Wow. You can unroot. There is a working tether option. Very likely you will not have any issues outof the box. Many of us have no issues with gps. You can do a factory wipe immediately after logging into the phone,i just don't see the point (seeing as it just came from the factory).
Strongly encourage you to read the sticky thread.
Also, not sure I see the reason for installing SetCPU, right now, as there are no kernels for overclocking.
Got excited after updating to JI6 this afternoon and the GPS locked on with 10 seconds, however tonight I went on a drive and the GPS wouldn't lock on after minutes. Finally gave up and rebooted which resolved the problem.
I'm also seeing some issues with the GPS being off by 100's of feet which is causing maps to reroute. Seems like mainly when stopped at a signal light.
Hopefully rebooting solved the first issue, but I not happy that there is still problems with GPS after waiting 2 months for a fix
Also the LAG seems worse. LAG needs to be the next top priority
That's a drag man, sorry to hear that. Maybe consider installing a custom ROM? I'm running Bionix 1.4, no lagfix because I'm getting zero lag. Rooting and flashing was very quick and my phone is now very responsive.
GPS is still hit or miss, but it's mostly hit and overall is working much better.
To be honest flashing this ROM has improved my phone ten fold.
Maybe give it a try. Just a thought, and sorry again to hear about your issues.
fix: flash (clockwork) "Vibrant-JI2-GPS.zip"
ji6 gps BLOWSSSSS
enter *#3214789650# and switch to MSmode, This solved the accuracy problem for me on JI6.
I don't know why samsung insists on seting Standalone mode for the GPS, Swiching to MSmode was the first thing we did to fix the GPS months ago.

Very strange. My phone is significantly faster, even better than before with OCLF. No stuttering at all.
Bionix 1.7 is the answer to your woes
Did you **** with any of the GPS settings prior to updating?
My GPS is working great, tracking, navigation and all. Lag? What lag?
Also, why did you think this topic deserved another thread? We already have one on this topic.. thanks.
Is anyone seeing their GPS just start wondering off? I'll be setting perfectly still and the GPS will start jumping in one direction by 100+ yards each time and it'll keep going, like yesterday I ended up over 200 miles away from where I actually was. Oh and instead of being on the street it has me in parking lots and fields. Not seeing the fix on my end.
It's working like a charm for me after JI6 !!!
GPS is fine for me and even better after enabling agps
For some reason agps is disabled by default.
Can you guys tell me your exact settings on the LbsTestMode? Not just the usual ms-mode/ supl.google.com/ 7276.. I need to know all the settings you have cos I messed with mine and want it back to stock
No problem here
I must be lucky, I am using Frankin Twiz final and a simple fix and i have 5-7 sats locks and 10-15 m accuracy. From all the reading...... depending on how you customized your phone, it seems to me that you have to customize the gps fix as well, as I see no absolute fix by anyone that works for all.
GPS
I got the update. The GPS worked for awhile but now it doesn't lock in. What's the best way to solve the problem?
Yes I have the same issue. I also noticed that when at a stoplight the gps will drift which causes maps to recaculate routes.

No I did not **** with any settings, ji6 straight with no mods anywhere!
Where's the JI6 GPS thread that is reporting major GPS issues?

MS MODE helps only in decreasing the TTF/TTFF. it won't help with the accuracy issue both the OP and myself are having.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I don't see the USB icon after pluggning the cable. Anyone seeing this issue?
Preface: I was rooted with lagfix using OCLF. Prior to the OTA, I unrooted & uninstalled lagfix. My phone got locked up in Vibrant/Samsung screen during the OTA installtion like many others.
I used Odin to return the phone to stock, then download & flashed the JI6 file using Odin. GPS, compass, Task Manager, HD Camcorder, Youtube HD, Media Hub, etc are working fine ... however, no USB icon.
Has anyone else still not received this update?
People put your phone into fight mode and see how accurate GPS is after
Mine works perfectly, I am digging this update specially the new task manager. I can't wait for froyo.

I hate to post a thread like this, but after searching and basically pulling my hair out, I've decided it was time.
Anyway, as title suggests I have an I9000m with the 2.2 UGJL2 *Typo in title, sorry!!*
Heres the problem with the phone...
Its a bell phone, unrooted or modified. Its running 2.2 JL2. When used with an bell SIM it will dial out and receive, receive texts, send them. However it won't receive picture messages, well it receives but just says downloading (and the plan does have it)
It also won't connect to the mobile network. If I manually set APN it does, but then its ability to call out is brutal for some reason. Also I threw my virgin mobile sim in it, set apn and it would go onto the internet no problem, but calling and text suffered big time.
It also seems to lag huge all the time, it'll freeze, you hit the center button and it just takes screen shots.
Its a refurb phone if that helps. Its actually my gfs phone, I picked her up a HTC incredible S... she says if we can fix the old one she kinda wants the samsung back.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried a factory reset to see if that fixes the problems? That would be the best starting point.

Been done twice. Also have had two new sim cards installed aswell. I figured before I tried rooting it would be best to consult you guys. Is it possible that there's a hardware issue?
Thanks
Mike
Based on your description it doesn't sound like a hardware issue, but no way to know for sure.
I think your next best bet would be to try reflashing JL2 (or KC1 even) using Odin; as long as you can get to download mode via the 3 button combo. If you're still having problems after that then probably it is hardware.

Got er fixed. After I put the phone down and enjoyed a beer for a bit, I went back and basically wiped the phone clean, I think I did it 3 times in a row, using both the 3 button download mode one, and two different ones than can be accessed via the dialer. After doing that I retryed the APN settings again and ALAS it finally worked correctly. Its now connecting to the HSDPA and is also downloading MMS messages like it should. Its also yet to lag again. I'm assuming it was an app that was causing that aswell.
Regardless, the misses is happy, I might keep the Incredible S (currently have the HTC legend, lovely phone, but it does feel under powered compared to the I9000 and the Incredible S)
Sometimes I think a guy has gotta step back and relax for a minute lol!!
Thanks again
Hello - my issue is this:
Data/LTE fix? Stops working after a few minutes - need to reset phone
N910F - tried stock, and various roms - same issue (actually i think on stock it worked best but im unsure now)
cant find a fix anywhere - any good souls out there who know what to do?
your time is much appreciated.
Does only the LTE connection stop working (so it goes down to H+ for example) or your mobile data connection in general?

Good Question.
No it's still up and the connection shows that only "upload" up arrow is lighting up, but the down arrow stops lighting up.
It may sound super stupid, but can you access the internet or do any other internet related applications work? I assume it doesn't, otherwise you wouldn't have started this thread, but I just want to ensure.
Because at the moment, it sounds like a bug with the "connection display" to me.

I WISH it was just that
unfortunately, all internet applications stop working - i contacted the telephone company and they agreed to reset the connection and that I should turn off and turn on my phone in about 15 minutes - see how it is then. Will post my findings later - there are many threads on this topic on google - but I felt better posting here on XDA. Appreciate the help in diagnosing.
You're welcome!
Just post your results later if possible.
Did you modify your device before the problem accured? Maybe it's the fault of root or a custom ROM you are using?
still nothing - going to use stock rom and test the findings. I dont want to sell the phone but I feel I have to now...
According to your last post, I assume you're using a custom ROM? If yes, got back to stock ROM and test it again, just as you said. I guess your custom ROM (if you're using one) is the problem.
not fixed - going to take to a service shop
Hmm, that's a huge mess. Do you still have warranty? (Although I guess it's voided by playing around with custom ROMs...)
And do things like normal calls work?
