So I have OT 3.0 biggy with Battery status. Just today, I keep getting this message.
"BatteryStatus Today-Plugin
This is a shareware and you can use it 'as it is' and as long as you want!
Thank you for using Battery Status Advanced!"
Seriously, this has popped up at least a dozen times today. Every time I turn it on, there it is. I just have to click the OK in the corner but it's still a PITA. Anyone know why this is or how to get rid of it?

Search the forum for "battery status popup". This has been asked and answered tens of times.
Thanks. I searched this forum and got two other threads in Herald but they were 160 posts and 230. So I did a search for the entire forum and it pulled a TON of threads but I couldn't find any that talked about that. It just searched for the three words independently. So if anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.
I've been having the same issue. And it just began today as well.
same problem here, been searching for the solution for awhile now.
you know, in the time it took to quote the question and write that, you could have just helped us out. im just saying. whatever.
you guys are right, it was asked in a few threads here but never answered. So I went ahead and asked the guy that coded the application. He said to update to the latest version and it will go away for some months.
HTH
I had this also so I reinstalled the battery status 1.05 and the popups went away.
Thank you! Will try that tonight.
I'll attach the cab. First thing i noticed was an almost instant GPS fix where before it would take up to two mins for a fix if I got one at all.
And of coarse Voice Search is now supported
I also downloaded the satellites before running it the first time enjoy.....

This has been out for a week already...
I just put it in last night. Does this thing have turn by turn directions. I tried it out and it didnt say anything and I purposely took a wrong turn and it didnt reroute or tell me I was lost...I thought it would be like the google maps for droid. Am I just using it wrong? thankx for any help.
iirc the navigation facility is not available on winmo only android at this point

Hi,
gps has sucked on this phone since the beginning, but I thought update to 2.2 would fix it. Sadly it still does not work. And I don't mean it takes long for a lock or the accuracy is bad. It just has no idea where I am. Some gps status app I downloaded does not show any satillites.
I think I should go back and get a new one, or is gps broken for everyone?

Mine takes a fair bit of time to get a lock but i do get a very accurate signal onece it locks, it was very slow on 2.1 maybe a bit faster now on 2.2 but still realy sucks coming from my htc tp2 which got locks everytime within 5-10 seconds. If i try to get a fix when inside my house it will never happen, I have to be outside in clear view of the sky. I would say take it back it might be broken.
My phone also takes awhile to get a lock on Maps and such. I need to be outside and it usually takes around 5 -10 Minutes. when I do get a lock it is very accurate. I haven't upgraded to 2.2 yet so I'm not sure how it will work on that (hopefully better).
I would go into Telus and see if you can get it repaired/replaced
I had my GPS working like a charm with 2.1 and it all went to **** when I upgraded to 2.2.
Re-applying these settings fixed the locking issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732030
I now get a lock in under 30 seconds.
gps lock? what is that? (im sarcastic) but really, my telus fascinate running froyo never had any lock.
1 time while driving i had it on for fun, it had me perhaps within 10-15 blocks, and then it put me in the middle of the ocean.
ill try the link above to see if it helps.

I tried to do this but as soon as I type the last * on the code in my dialer it dissapears and nothing happens, are there any tricks? Does it matter that im rooted?
Edit: for anyone else having the issue i did if you have launcher pro Create a shortcut - activity - LBSTESTMODE or get LbsTestModeLaunch from the market.

You probably didn't type it in right. You could try something like SGSTools from the market; it has lblTestMode in its list of "secret codes".
Try turning on your wireless.
So I went to Telus to get my phone replaced, and after about an hour of discussion they agreed to help me out. It was just over the 30 day exchange period, so they wanted me to give them my fascinate and $150 deposit for 4-6 weeks and give me a loaner feature phone. Crazy policy, but at least I was able to reason with them in the end.
GPS now works again, but it still takes a couple minutes to lock. On my old Acer Liquid E it takes 5 seconds. Both have Skyhook disabled. I'm really disappointed in Samsung. My next phone will probably be an HTC.
I'll upgrade to 2.2 when I get home, and see if that helps.
made a quick video showing the differences in GPS speed of my old phone, and my new phone.

How much better/faster is it when you are outdoors since the test in that vid appears to be indoors?...
For folks having trouble, please try this. The file expires, so it must be done often, but if I can gauge a decent amount of success with it, I will get an app built for it.

no difference. I was by a window.
Just drove for about 30 min and it couldn't get a lock the whole trip. (I had the sun roof open even ... and it was cold)
This phone is just pathetic, but I don't know what to change to. I got it thinking it was the best android phone available...
You can complain how crappy the phone is, or take a proactive approach to fixing it. Did you even try my post above?

Ya I'm gonna try that later, but it requires root access and voiding my warranty. If a software fix is possible why wouldn't samsung release it? Do they want their phones to suck? Or maybe they fired all of their engineers because of the bad economy.
But ya, if Samsung doesn't release an update in the next month I'll see what the community can do.
I found this while searching on google. I take no credit for this, but am posting it here so that you can use it too.
Basically it enables airplane mode and disables it at boot. It doesn't add any time to boot, because it coincides with the Media Scanning.
All you do is install it and forget about it.
Anyway, heres the link:

Ignore that it says 2.1 only... Works just fine on my ROM.

I actually had this installed for a couple weeks now. Phone boots and then goes into airplane mode. I did love the one time where my phone booted up, I got a phone call right and forgot about the airplane mode and it kicked me off the call!
It won't download to my phone and I'm stuck at work. Can anybody upload it here or post a drop box link for me? Thanks!
Edit: Forgot I can use Astro for the download.
Mike, what do you think of this explanation and fix? It is interesting to read there why this happens, if nothing else. I look forward to your ROM fix tonight!
I actually have 2 tasker events setup that takes care of this nearly transparently. On device shutdown tasker sets airplane mode and clears it on boot.
I just have to do it manually if I get some kind of random reboot or sleep/charge death.

It might be a problem if you turn off GSM on an at&t phone.

ok and what is your percentage ?
I only realized this was an issue sometime last week and when I checked it was 50%.
Toggle airplane mode and within 10 mins it dropped to 38% and then went down to 17% a few hours later. But since then everytime I unplug or reboot I toggle airplane mode and most days it's at 0% ~ 5%

If I catch it right away it will go down to 0 by days end. If not and I catch it later it varies.
thanks for the link! i'm just curious though, is there any reason why this signal bug hasn't been addressed at the ROM level? from my brief searching it seems like it occurs on most devices.

I think including the apk in future ROMs seems a definite possibility as this fix released very recently.
Hey,
I have a major problem for a couple of weeks now. My phone just keeps waking up randomly and turns the screen on by itself. I have root and s-off and tried out a few roms. Sense Roms as well as MIUI roms... It does not make a difference at all, so I guess it can't be rom related. I have read a few more posts on the web of users having a similar problem but there was no solution given anywhere.
Also, my speaker automatically turns on when I receive or make a call. These two problems seem interconnected since there is at least one person on xda having exactly the same two issues...
Does anybody have an idea or a solution for this? I would be thankful for any kind of help! Thank you in advance!!!
I've a similar problem a bunch of months ago, my phone turn on automatically, without no logic. I've resolved the problem pulling out the battery for a night, after that the problem disappeared.
I hope that will help you to resolve your problem,
Rodomar705
Thanks, I will try that out tonight and report!
Ok, I tried it out last night, but it did not work
Does anybody have a different idea?

Did you check the date and time once you'd insert battery inside DHD? I think to solve the problem that way, you should leave DHD without battery until the internal battery will be totally discharged. It takes approx. 12-14 hours, and you can be sure only if turning on DHD you'll find time and date set to 12:00am, 1st jan 1980 (or something like that).
Yeah, it definately worked though, time was resetted as well. I turned it in today, hope to be able to pick it up next week. Before, I ran the Ruu to set it back to shipping condition... It still had the same error, so it is definately not rom related...
It is a huge drag without it... Already feeling uncomfortable ^^

Sorry mate!! Just wait for a week, ist not so long time, and you'll get back your phone as new as when you bought first time!! Hope this makes you feel a little bit of joy!!
Ok, I have gotten my phone back on thursday (after one week)...
SO far so good, everything worked again, they even set the proximity sensor right again... Then I rerooted it and put another MIUI on it...
On friday then, I put Vipermod back in and undervolted it by 50 mA... BOOM, the issue came back, I couldn't remove it, so I took the battery out and waited for 12 hours, as you suggested... and it worked... Issue was gone... Then I ran vipermod again and BOOM the issue was there again... It didn't even help to set the mA values back to normal, I had to reset it again by taking out the battery for 12 hours.
So my conclusion is that this issue is directly related to the actual USE (not just the installation) of vipermod... Can anyone confirm? Don't want to put out false information in the vipermod thread without having others to confirm...
need help also

If changing the ROM didn't help then it is an app issue. One of your apps is causing it. Time to look deeper
I have exactly the same issue! Also with the speaker sometimes. Really annoying. If an app is causing it, how can we find out which one? I'm using ARHD 6.1.0, but I've had the issue with older versions of the ROM too (with the same apps installed).

Only way to find out is to test them one by one by reinstalling them one at a time
