Samsung changed it to discourage people from using it.

You can also download the LbsTestMode apk .. no more punch dialing

just came across this thread and was wondering if we can have this for those who are still using stock ROMs? thanks in advance.
You can get that lockscreen on captivate, not sure if you can get a one click program for it though

can you tell me how? if we can get one click program for this, it'll be even better.
anyone???????
bum, bump,
You can always try it but I doubt it will work. Framework files can be rom dependent.
From original post:
"I have tested this on the 2 devices in my house. I can port this to other Galaxy S phones (if it doesn't already work.) Just contact me via PM and I'll need some files from you."
Might be better to do this, send the proper files and then wait for a response.
Have already sent pm. No reply yet.

Don't really know as I haven't used that function with the app. Someone will likely come through with an answer.
The app is getting more problems.... I now have to login everytime I open this app.... what's happening!?!?!?!
It also Force Closes if you try to search.
For the freaking XDA app, you'd think they could round up a couple people who knew what they were doing...

Navigation issues.

My navigation hasn't been working for a while.
I can get directions in maps and it sets a route ok. When I select navigate (either from app list or through maps) it hangs on 'getting driving directions'. I can see the data is active but then its not and the nav doesn't kick in.
What can I do to get it working as I use the feature (or used to) a fair bit?

That's useful thanks. But that isn't my problem. Gps fix is good on my handset. The problem is somewhere in the data transfer into the navigation app.

Actually I have the same problem. The phone is just saying getting route information,and then nothing happens. There is fine GPS connection, I can see my position on the map in the background, while its just stuck in the search. Could me very helpfully if someone have a explanation.

Tomorrow I will try to see if this works. I'm on insanity, so the chances should be okay.
Searched for the items listed in tge market but couldnt find any of them. Is it possible the fix is only good on insanity. Im on ultimate.

What is AngryGPS?

What is AngryGPS and why should I leave it on my phone... as I already have 4 other GPS apps I use? There is precious little information on Google about it.
Never had that app, maybe you should ask the creator of your custom rom?
I am wondering this too, Ultibread installed it on my phone and I have no clue what it is

That doesn't tell us anything about AngryGPS.
I believe it's part of Google Maps for their navigation. Weird name for a navigation system though. What if it gets angry and gets you lost?
Idk but i think is not much usefull? I deleted that from my rom and my gps is happy. It cant go angry now. Btw the performance of gps dont decrease.

It let's you set the settings of your GPS such as operation mode and other stuff. It will help ur GPS btw.

is it only on samsung stock roms? I could not see it on ICS port for captivate
It was meant to fix GPS problems for the first batch of Galaxy S devices in which the GPS was "utterly broken" and "non-functioning".
Perhaps it is used for finding the device when lost?
Just an educated guess really, but i'm guessing it's one of the apps used when you ping your phone remotely. Perhaps it's always running in the background and can't be turned off for security purposes? Hence the term "Angry" GPS. Couldn't say for sure though. Again, just an educated guess.

Blutooth problems.....

yeah my phone won't connect to my Creative D200 speakers........they will pair but won't connect......I've see this mentioned in a few other threads but still no solution.......any advice? This problem persists regardles off rom, kernel etc
