[Q] About the GPS...

So, I was wondering if anyone has yet tried pulling the GPS fix that Samsung sent out for the Captivate and trying it with the Fascinate. Shouldn't be too difficult, as the GPS hardware for the different Galaxy S variants SHOULD be almost 100% the same.
Might be worth a look, just a thought.

Yeah, never even thought about it. Definitely try it out. You know how to do that right? Shouldn't be too difficult.

Someone would need to take a look at the OTA for the Captivate to see what we need, but yeah, pushing the needed files would be the next step. Seems simple enough.

I made a similar mistake trying to bring the google stock launcher over from the captivate. Had to do a restore. It won't work.

Getting Google's home and fixing a gps are two very different things, but I get where you are coming from.
Does the Captivate gps fix involve a tweak to their radio as well? If so, I can definitely understand why that wouldn't work for us.

No throttle and no clock for liberty 1.5

Here's a link for no throttle an no clock for 1.5, I know a lot of people are using the ones for 1.0 without issues but since some people are reporting problems I decided to wait till I found this....
http://androidforums.com/droid-x-al...ottle-no-clock-no-throttle-liberty-1-5-a.html
Hope it helps. Enjoy!
Edit: props go to bouchigo
entrance not for everybody, for madmen only

will this work if i install the gingerbread theme?

I believe so, if the clock does reappear just apply it again. But I don't think the themes effect the service.jar file.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

i was mainly concerned with the no throttle mod
i guess ill try on gingerbread if it doesnt seem to work ill flash back to liberty mod and reflash the throttle zip

looks like the site is down for maintnance ill try it later i guess

What does "pwn" mean? I ask because whatever it is they will most likely be doing it to me since I use way more data then that. And sorry for the ignorance but not long ago I thought trolling was just looking for girls or hanging out under a bridge. I had no idea it meant provoking people in forums. Still don't understand why they don't call it instigating or being an instigator.

Completely not on the throttle topic. But Pwn was *way* before WoW. At least EQ days and probably before that in the early quake 1 days.

Sent from my DROID2 using XDA Premium App

Probably not, its replaces the services.jar file for for the droidx running liberty 1.5. I'm. Not sure that the d2 has the throttle built in like the dx does. Even if it does the services.jar file is most likely different.

GPS fix, and the cause of many issues

I seen a few threads on GPS fixes. I read them and still see some people having issues after applying fixes. I found out something interesting so it's my turn to post a fix for the GPS issue.
Here is what this will fix:
taking a long time to get a fix.
Not being able to keep a fix.
Not accurate data.
GPS consuming more battery then it should.
I can tell every one who is having trouble still right off the bat that they have their TB's overclocked.
I found out something interesting while trying to get from point a to point b a few days ago. All of a sudden I was having all sorts of issue that I never had before. After futzing around to try and find a solution I focused on the only thing different then usual.
I had my TB overclocked to 1.5GHZ when I normally don't go much higher then 1.2GHZ. mostly not to drain the battery.
My unit took several minutes to get a fix, and when it did, if I started moving again,(driving down the road) it completely lost the fix, or it was sporadic at best.
I lowered the clock speed to 1.2ghz. Killed all apps for a fresh start. Started navigate again, and I got a fix in less then 10 seconds. And it held a fix.
I put the clock speed back to 1.5ghz and I lost the fix again. Problems were occurring again.
I was able to get a good fix at 1.3ghz, but it took a tad longer, still under a minute to get a fix, but at 1.2 it works flawlessly.
Apparently the chipsets used for GPS don't like too high of a frequency above normal.
If anyone is having an issue with GPS, lower your cpu to 1.2ghz or lower. Kill all apps. then restart your GPS software.
Hope this helps any one having issues out!

Great theory, and may be true to an extent. I don't oc and today I could not get a lock to save my life. And I was in wide open lake country where a lock should have been instant.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

Yea I dont OC at all and Still even with a couple of patches Ive tried, it still dont work right.

My gps has never worked correctly since I got the phone. So interesting theory, but purely circumstantial and unscientific testing. The issue comes about from XTRA code being incomplete in the framework.jar. This is needed for fast locks. Secondly, the radio needs updating. Both are present in a yet unreleased TB ota.
Why you see wildly different results is that eventually, even a standalone gps locks. Fiddling with settings and so forth, you eventually get a lock. Once you have lock and keep it 'warm' with somewhat regular use, you get the illusion of your gps being fixed.

anytime buddy!

Yeah, I'll agree with everyone (minus the troll). The OC may be affecting your problem, or seem like it is. But, me, from the time I walked out of the store my GPS has not locked a single time. Glad I've still got my not-much-better fascinate to use nav with hhaha.

Currently, using the unreleased update I mentioned, I wait a maximum of 10 seconds on q cold lock, and I'm overlooked to 1.5ghz.

Lots of post-EG22 builds

Don't know if it's important, but I just noticed there are 4 post EG22 builds.
EG29
EG30
EH02
EH03
I reckon it's about done, eh?

EH04 and EH05 too.

yes, judging by these builds it seems like they are almost done and doing small stuff like making sure apps are working as they should and optimizing code and such. I remember when i had my hero they always sped up build rate before release (2.1).

Oh yeah, I see the EH04 & EH05 now, but how can that be? That would be tomorrow & the next day's builds... Has Samsung figured out how to bend time?

With the rate of release, I suspect they are stripping out the debug features. Hopefully it's soon, I'd like to see GB on the Epic before I plunge off to the Within or the Epic 4G Touch as they are now calling it.

Damn... EH11. I thought they'd stop at EH06. Does the timer reset near the end as well? The testing/QA timer that is.

In development you have UAT QA which leads to this multiple builds drama. Everytime the QA tech kicks back the code the devs go back recompile the fix and they have to stamp it with a new build number.

[Bounty] $50 for a wifi calling echo fix

Straight up. I am currently using ZenDroid 2.1.1, but have encountered this problem on several roms and so have others. The person on the other side gets a horrible echo. I just moved to a house where my reception is horrible, and I need this to work properly. My wife and I both have vibrants.
The bottom line - be the first to deliver to me a non echoing, functional t-mobile wifi calling app for froyo, and I Paypal you $50. I prefer to have it work on zen droid, but if there is no other way, I will change to another froyo rom to have this work properly. I just have to confirm it has fixed my problems before payment, and $50 is yours. No BS.
Anyone up to the challenge?

Did you see the info that Lotherius posted in my thread on this? Its under your last posts, looks like its a definite app problem, although turning the volume down on your earpiece may give you a work around solution.

I'm on Asgard and folks tell me there's no echo, which is a first. Give it a whirl?

Yeah I saw it, what I am looking for now is actually to get the app fixed , if someone has the time...
Everything he said makes sense, and I will have to try the volume thing to see how it works. I posted this before I saw what he said on the ZenDroid thread.
As far as the incentive, I think it is a good idea. I am totally not trying to be a smartass, when I say it would not be the first time something unfixable on this phone was fixed by some great minds on this forum. I'm trying to motivate someone to try and overcome a difficult, perhaps insurmountable obstacle.

NP, and, certainly not trying to push. I am not an EDT fanboy, but I have tried at least 8-10 2.3.4-2.3.5 ROMs, just about giving up, and saying Nexus Prime is prolly less than 2 months away. On a final whim I tried Asgard, and with this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713
despite myself, I actually have working GPS that is equal to or better than any FroYo ROM I have used. I am on my 3rd replacement Vib. and the first 2 sucked wind as far as GPS went, so I KNOW bad GPS. I saw another poster (and I should have bookmarked the quote) say something to the effect that anything that could possibly be a GB bug he has managed to experience on his Vib. +1... The problem is that no 2 phones are the same, so YMMV, but I am now, albeit reluctantly, a believer that GB can have awesome GPS. Just my 4 cents.

I use my gps on a daily basis as a must for my business and im on miui revamped and have been for a couple months..these guys have got the gps goin on,its fast,accurate and i haven't driven off a cliff or into the ocean yet.
So if your sticking with froyo for that reason....your missing out.
Good luck with your wifi calling endeavour

Thanks nick. Is a form of wifi calling working on miui? Did not think it was, guess its the only thing keeping me off it now. Things changed for me moving to the new place, but after a few hiccups, the studio should be at 100% in about two weeks. Its always something, right?
I would have tried your rom earlier, but I just lack the time to do the switching around nowadays. Had to go back to froyo and stay for awhile.
