Which LagFix to use...

...there are several lag fixes out there now. Which one would be the best/safest to use???
edit: I have a stock rooted vibrant.

RyanZA without a doubt, one click. Get USB drivers. easy to do and easy to undo.

THIS ONE YOU DONT NEED PC AND TAKES 10MINS.....hope it helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dSg3qsD7QQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

No offense, my friend, but spamming the forums everywhere with the same info in all caps is just a bit obnoxious. I mean, do what you want, but expect people to be annoyed.

read my post on RyanZA fix in batch file. tried V1 and V2.3, both have bugs.
This fix was stable for me, but there is a catch too. the limit for app data storage is 130mb, will you ever go over, i dont know. i didnt yet.

I tried RyanZA's 2-3 batch file fix and I'm not having any problems...to which bugs are you referring?

The bug I’m aware of happens with apps that store data (such as texture) on the sd card outside of the new partition. Some games such as Asphalt 5, Homerun Battle 3d, heavy Gunner, maps... This is a problem with all the lags fixes. If you don't use those apps or apps like that it probably won't affect you.
For instance the load times for Homerun Battle were three times longer on start up, if it started up. I had several times where my phone just shut off. If it eventfully did start it would run fine. Chainfire talks about the bug in his thread found here.

Played around with maps, gps on/off, zillow app., switching back and forth and phone froze on Alpha 1 as well as 2.3. Also this is a know issue and I got it too, on 2.3 I was not able to change fonts. And I hate default font

When i use RyanZA lagfix it works but when i reboot the phone everything gets screwed up anyone have this problem itll take ages to boot up and when it does alot of force closes and widgets outta place etc

Use chainfire. I believe it may be the safest, easily the most automatic one.

SKYPE at last!!

Skype finally made it to Android and Legend in particular. Haven't tested it with voice calls yet. Now, maybe GTalk will follow?

I've tested it a bit and it even works on EDGE. I couldn't believe that myself but it does.
Link

Hmm... Just seeing the list of permissions it requires confirms I'll stay away from this one as I did from the PC version.
Oh well I lived without it so far without any problem, this won't change
edit: and for a 2.1 stock legend, that's also a pretty big app to install!

Now, maybe GTalk will follow?

Gtalk is a stock app on Android. Or i'm missing your point?
Tested Skype for few mins, seems to work fine. Great sound quality, but... It's so heavyweight and there is no option to shut it down COMPLETELY. Lastly, my phone went offline (which newer happened before) so i just uninstalled it and already forgot. Bloatware.

It froze my phone twice, had to reboot several times... This release of Skype makes Legend unusable, at least my Legend.

If you use Market Access, you can gain entry to it.
I did this and downloaded the app, however, i keeps crashing within seconds of me running it. Any idea why?

When I try to sign in, it instantly says try again later, seems like it doesn't even try to sign me in. Any earthlings having the same problem?

No more T-Mobile Tethering!!

So I've been using Barnacle to tether to my laptop at work when I get bored. Yesterday I went to login to facebook and Whamo! A TMobile splash page pops ups talking about getting a tethering plan! That's the only page I can access now when I try to tether. Sucks!!! Looks like they finally caught on.

If you have a custom ROM (Most of them added this in) you can use the stock Samsung AP:
Settings--> Wireless and Network--> Mobile AP. Then go to settings, set up your SSID and security phrase, check to enable, enjoy.
Been using it sparingly at work when I need to get around the firewall, worked as of about 45 minutes ago.

If you are still getting the splash page its possible that you tether wayy too much and T-Mobile has flagged your account for tethering exorbitantly.
On average how much data do you reckon you tether on a monthly basis? (btw im tethering right now to send this message) I tether roughly 1-2 gig at most per month but its spread out over the course of the month.
If you dont tether that much or that often i would suggest starting fresh with a clean install of another or the same rom, if that still doesnt work it sounds like you are SOL.

I agree with you about the Mobile AP, it's the best. The people who contribute to this Vibrant Forum are also awesome, the amount you have taught me thank you.
Kept my Vibrant (in soft brick at the moment but will fix it) but got hung up in the moment at a TMO store and bought the SGS 4G. Couldn't let go of the Vibrant so was playing with both. The Vibrant is going to be a hard phone to do better on! Off to return the now unrooted SGS 4G to exchange for a different phone or just return. This Vibrant forum spoiled me and then to see what's going on on the SGS 4G forum is just sad.
Here you are apologizing or explaining yourself which is was really nice, on the SGS 4G forum all they do is blast people. I will being hitting the Thanks button more after my experience over there. Thanks for all you've done to contribute to this forum.

I have read posts of others getting this page randomly using every tether app regardless ie, Mobile AP, Barnacle, wifi tether. Once in a while i might have to reset my settings or turn off/on tethering and it werks again but its just for a bad connection never the "Tmobile tethering plan" page.
I have been capped once before and received the dreaded throttle down txt message. It only affected my tether ability the phones internet really didn't take a hit at all. At least not noticeably. Other than the throttle down (which has nothing to do with Mobile AP werkin and is totally my fault) I personally have not had any issues with it.

Still get the tmo splash page on my laptop at work..... but can get internet just fine at home on my iMac..... both using AP.... weird

Gps fix for ELK4 leak

I thought I would stary a new thread as it appears lots of us including myself have the issue where gps signal is lost and does not regain.

Xda is not a place for rudeness we are here to help each other before you get on your high horse and waste the effort of creating a patronising video of how to use google. This reason for my post is because this is a specific problem with the elk4 leak. If you read the other threads you would have seen others have tried agps and it still does not work. Hence my post.

Last but not least: I have read ALL cited by me thread. No single comment about non working with your ROM, therefore, if you're giving such statement, provide link to the post, please.

You should have post this in Q&A section. Anyway I think it's kernel related just flash Siah kernel see if it's fix your problem but Siah kernel isn't fully compatible with this ROM yet so it will break your video recording.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Well this would make it one. This particular firmware gps problem is not related to whatever patch does, therefore it is not solved by a patch. Now if someone has idea or solution.... Doubt it anyways, and since I'm depending heavily on navigation for my work, back to lj5 patiently waiting for jkay, till next leak and next round of testing.
Testing JKay alpha on GT-I9300

Just noticed gps problems today, is there a fix? I previously didnt wipe. But flashed again full wipe. Not tested yet.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

I can confirm that this worked for me today:
I had just installed Omega 33, and was trying to use GPS to navigate, but was not getting a good on my location (although I seemed to have a certain amount of accuracy to my position). I turned the GPS off and on again, and what little accuracy present went away and I never got the GPS lock.
I used the app known as "Fasterfix" from the play store. It needs root privileges in order for it to modify the "GPS.conf" file.
I live in India. Hence I chose my server as Asia-> India (it sets it to in.pool.ntp.org or something like that). There was no need to reboot. After this, I was successfully able to navigate without any problems.
Try it out and let me know whether it works.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

My problem was never getting a fast lock, it was holding onto it. When I would press navigate i would drive certain distance and would notice my position is few streets behind, then would get prompt gps lost, never to return. Turn off gps toggle, turn on later, aquire lock. Rinse and repeat.

You are saying the aGPS patch works, although from what I have read it's a completely unrelated problem, please show me it worked. If there is already a fix posted you should be straight linking it with a "please use the search next time" that's a helpful post.
And do you even know the problem, have you ever looked in the leaked firmware thread, I barely see you (checking the forums multiple times every day) and when I do see you your posts are rude, with absolutely no intelligence what so ever.
