Hi
Every time I reboot my SGS, my icons/programs have rearranged so that they are not in the same position as I have put them. I try to organize my icons so that I have games in one window and musicrelated stuff in another an so on...
Any idea what's going on?
I have updated to lastest firmware, but it also happend prior the update.

Yes, I have the same problem. Also want to organize icons in seperate windows but sometimes they move.
Same problem on JPA and JPO (not sure if I had this on JM1)
EDIT: It seems to also happen when I install new applications, don't even have to reboot to see the problem.
same problem here

Do you by any chance use the customized TWLauncher (tgt)?

nope ootb official android on galaxy s with the app "apps organizer"
Just for info are these the apps which are on the SD card? If yes, then move these to phone. Just a shot in the dark. Thought it might work.

no, all installed apps get mixied up...
Hi,
having the exact same problem as described. Tried different versions of Darky's ROM, currently running on 9.3. Extreme. But also experienced on 9.2. Can't remember if it occured on preinstalled Samsung Froyo.
Isn't there really any solution to this ? It's really annoying not to have an option to sort your icons when they keeps messing up after reboot.
What ROMs are you having, guys ?

Looks like lots of things can move your icons update of apps can shift stuff around .
But if you are not updating> factory resetting etc then the apps should stay where they are on a stock rom after a reboot .

Solution
Guys, this issue has a relatively simple solution, the problem is with your touchwiz not saving correctly setting, do the following:
Go to Settings > Applications > All
In here, go find TwLauncher and click it, DON'T click force stop now just click the "clear data" button.
After this, your icons will mess around again, ordered alphabetically, just restart phone.
That should do it, next time you organize your apps they should stay where you left them.
I hope it help you guys, cheers!
EDIT:
If the above wasn't enough (in most cases it should), you can try to get Root Explorer and go to:
/dbdata/databases/
find the com.sec.android.app.twlauncher folder and delete it.
This is harmless, but it will again order alphabetically your apps, this folder will be restored again on next boot, so restart phone after.

Clearing the data worked for me! Thank you very much!
Didn't try deleting com.sec.android.app.twlauncher but instead clearing works. More feedback pls
I had the problem, changed ROM and solved.
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.

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!!!

and also i flash my rom with Kyrillos v6 (non oc) this code do nothing on tht rom..
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.
Hello ...
I have the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) with Android 6.0.1 from Saturday (NOT rooted ... yet). After a lot of hours searching and setup I have this "problem":
When I press the PowerButton for 2-3 seconds to show the options: Reboot/ShutDown/SafeMode it sounds the Messages notification !! How can I disable this?
Thanks in advance.
I still cannot disable it (without reset the phone)
I wonder if this notification is by default ....???
Thanks

Dunno if you can remove it without root, but you can do it with root. You find system sounds at /system/media/audio/ui. There you should find the sound file regarding power menu, then delete it and reboot and that's it.
@zavag
I try to turn it on to reproduce your problem but In my case, I can not even find out how I can turn it on.
Can you tell me...
How you activated it?
On which build are you?
@Henkate
I think it would be rather embarrassing for Samsung if you can not even personalize a notification tone without major changes to the system.
By the way, even if I do not actually think of TouchWiz. For me it's just ugly and overbloat!
I really don't know how it activated. The phone is new and ... you know ... I was searching a lot of settings in order to setup as I like. I googled it ... I found some infos but it didn't work.
On the other hand I don't want to reset (and most I don't want to root it from now) because I spent a lot of hours to set it up.

Know what you mean! I think if there is really no other way you are at minimum able to backup your settings in almost any app.
Maybe you like to inform about adb based backup solutions like declared here:
https://www.droidwiki.de/wiki/Backup/Ohne_Root
I also found a tool called Ultimate Backup on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844032
If you don't have access to a Linux or at least Windoof computer you can maybe search for how to use adb through androids buit in Linux command shell. Don't know if there is a workaround.
But in my opinion it is already poor from Samsung if one must operate such an effort in order to turn off a notification!

I am happy that I helped you.
Due to my own experiences after having purchased many Galaxy devices, I've noticed, Samsung likes to hide toggles.. So I always put my own back in, with adb, or an app. For newer android devices, we need adb.
So on your Galaxy, go to settings>developer options, and enable USB debugging, and Stay awake. (If you don't see developer options, go into 'About phone', and tap on 'Build Number' 7+ times until achieved.
Plug your phone into your computer, and make sure it's drivers are installed and the phone is coming up properly.
Download the ADB files, on your PC, here in a .Zip or a Folder
Then, open up an Admin CMD, (if you don't know how, GOOGLE.) Then, open up the directory of the ADB folder in the cmd.
Example, on my computer, I left the folder in downloads, so I type into the cmd cd c:\users/Jae/downloads/platform-tools Example
Type adb devices into the cmd. (Make sure only one phone is attached) If you see your phone, (random looking numbers & letters) good. If it says 'unauthorized' check the phone and make sure tap allow, if you don't see anything.. detach it & reattach, and type in adb devices again. When it says 'device', you're good. Go to the next step.
Type adb shell and at this point, you should be looking like This.. If you do, copy and paste this settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles
Once it loads, copy what came up by highlighting like this, and then use ctrl+v . Yours will be/look different, depending on your toggles. Paste it into a text file, or whatever.
Then copy settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles and paste it in front of all of that, then put ' in front of the first toggle, and after the last toggle. Like this, 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth' < JUST AN EXAMPLE
This is where you add in your missing toggles, using only commas to separate, no spaces.. Most commonly desired MobileData. There's more, if wanted. So, for example, if you start with 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth'
You should finish with 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth,MobileData,WifiHotspot' or any order you like. (MAKE SURE NO SPACES IN BETWEEN ANY TOGGLES. ONLY COMMAS.)
Should be looking like THIS!! then, copy it so it looks just like in the last screenshot. Simply right click in the cmd, and hit enter..
If you get a syntax error, you did something wrong. Like leaving out the ' at the beginning, and ' at the end of the toggles, or spaces somewhere other than the command.
If you have no errors, check your Quick Toggles for the newly added ones. Should be there, no restart necessary or anything.
If successful, congrats. If not, I can help. Just ask. (don't ask about anything other than the topic, PLEASE..)
As of December 30th, 2019, this still works just fine. HOWEVER on newer android updates, 'MobileHotspot' has been renamed to JUST 'Hotspot' . So if you're not seeing the icon after applying this fix, this is probably why. Try with Hotspot instead of MobileHotspot.
Thanks for the solution, finally I added mobile data icon!

No problem! Glad this worked out for you.
Hey there! This worked great prior to the update I just did last week. I wanted to get the wifihotspot to be the first icon when i dropped the quick toggle menu down, instead of rifling through Settings, Connections, Mobile Hotspot and tethering, then finally able to switch it on. Now when I put wifihotspot in the command line you posted, it just stays at the default. It's as though they may have changed the name of the wifihotspot toggle to something else. Any idea? My phone is a S7, Android 8.0.0, Samsung Experience version 9.0, Baseband version G930W8VLU3CRE3. A lot more software info but hopefully that's enough. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi, I have the same problem with MobileData. Even though I add it to the list, the tile doesn't seem to appear...
Any idea on the new name if it even exist anymore?
So, would I be able to add the DeX software toggle thats on the galaxy tab s4? this would be the best.
Best answer all the times
I have been looking for this solution nearly a year! And thank you really, thank you too much. I m glad.
AWESOME! Added "HotSpot" to my Rogers Galaxy S8+ in Canada. Thanks so much!
Question
I have small question. Is there a way to stop asking "Turn off mobile data" question?
I mean for example mobile data on. And when you touch toggle it asks "Mobile Data unless.. bla bla do you want to turn off mobile data?" I just want to change it as without any question.
Thank you
I was able to add "Hotspot" toggle to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A.

I can confirm this MobileData name has remained the same through current date. Dec 30, 2019. I just received an update on my phone and had to repair tiles again. Nothing has changed with this.

Unfortunately, installing other software isn't as simple as this TileCode fix.
You should search other XDA threads for that. And beware, read EVERYTHING before trying to apply anything!
