Hello people,
I have just updated my SGS from Foryo 2.2 JPP to 2.2.1 JPY with Kies and Registry patch using XEU product code.
But now i have a problem with the GPS fixing, using GPS Status, it's find around 6-10 satellites in my area, but it takes very long time to fix on around 15 min or so.
Try to get an answer for my problem, i found that changing the pool server for my country or for europe my solve the fixing issue. Now the pool server is set on north america by default, i want to change it to europe.
Is there any way to edit gps.conf without to have to root my phone? Some kind of update.zip file to install in Recovery mode?
Thanks in advance and I'm sorry if i posted in the wrong area.
No ideas for me.. maybe with ADB but i'm not sure.
You can root your phone with z4root.. and unroot it after if you want
I don't think z4root is working on JPY. But the idea is not to root my phone, cause i can simply go and root it with CF-Root.
I'm trying to find a way to work around.
There's no way. In Eclair, you could get around that using update.zip with recovery 2e, but that's not possible with recovery 3e. If without root, you can just go messing around with system files, that would be security failure. So you need root, if only temporarily, to edit it.
Z4root non permanent root?

I think you can do it from the SGS Tools application, there's somehing like gps fix that changes the conf
I had the same issue with Froyo 2.2 on my SGS, and i solved the problem using the app GPSbooster. Now the fix it's very fast (about 20-25 sec.) and the signal it's quite stable.
The app cost it's 1,99€ and you can find on the market.
P.S: before to purchase the app, try the free version and see if work for your device ( i have done in this way).

My mistake .
I actually edit the gps .conf file myself before flashing the rom as even the official UK firmware that came with the phone had usa nt pool .
jje
Playing with the settings under LbsTestMode, i managed to make it fix for a while but it's still really unstable. Sometime it's fix right away, in about 5 sec. Sometime it's take ages to fix
I think the only solution for now is to modify some how the gps.conf file.
Could you post which gps settings you use? Standalone/ms-based?
Im using MS-Based now, but is almost the same with Standalone, maybe MS-based it is a lilttle better.
The only way I can see you being able to do it is with adb push

2016! OMG hope it helps
Yes, u can do it! with ADB and Custom Recovery without any root permission or app.
start your phone on recovery mode, in TWRP go to Mount and check SYSTEM, leave it checked and go back. Now in advanced, file manager you can change or delete any file.
Just put the files you need in you Ext-SD and then copy/paste. Always backup before changing anything.
Here i try to upload 2 gps.conf files working for xperia z1 C6903 with stock rom-non rooted. and Samsung galaxy S3 Sgh-I747 with CM 13.1 rooted. (but i cant because i'm a new user)

just got an OTA update for my tab today - anyone know what the changes are? i clicked past the "for more information visit" accidently before i read the site i was supposed to visit.
Firmware Version 2.2
Baseband Version S:I800.0.3V.DL21
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
I don't know what it does yet, but there doesn't seem to be much change
Found this on the website but doesn't sound like it is that great.
http://support.vzw.com/pdf/system_update/galaxy_tab.pdf
Does anyone know if it messes up root or EXT file systems?
don't know about ext but I still have root.
Well, mine popped up, I clicked more info (which gave no real information) and then clicked restart and install. It did neither, restart or install. When I check for updates, says I am up to date and my baseband is not as listed above....not sure what happened here.
If someone can capture the upgrade file and post it, I would appreciated it.

Hope this helps.
Added the file renamed update.zip

Looks like that was it...applied successfully and all matches as above.
Thanks

When I click on the dropbox link I'm getting thousands of lines of code, not a .zip. Am I doing something wrong?
I had same problem doing it from Chrome, worked from IE 9 thought and downloaded
Damn, I'm on a mac and neither Chrome, Safari, or Firefox work.
I have the file, but no place to post it....any ideas?
I don't really use dropbox or anything. Oh well, I'm sure it'll show up sooner or later. I can get it at work tomorrow on a PC. I appreciate the help.
No problem.
Wish I could have been more help.

Sorry, i've been traveling all day and did not realize that it wouldn't dl easily. I zipped the file so it should be easier to dl. I pulled it from my cache folder. Try it there. I still have not installed it as I don't know what effect ext files have on it. If you have successfully updated with ext file system, please post and let us know your results.

Hi.
I have strange problem. My home button doesn't work but I'm able to go into recovery and download (by 3-button combo). I changed plenty firmwares with pit and repartition with no success. Anyone can help??
boot into recovery, try and 'fix permissions' and also there is an option of 'key test' or something similar to that.
what ROM was you on / flashed when this problem arose ??
On criscelo v.3.7 after aplying fugu kernel. I will try what you said and report.
fugu kernel, there you go thats your culprit
flash a different kernel thru odin or recovery and i bet you that fixes the issue.
But as I said I changed plenty firmwares with repartition. So I don't think I would help a lot...
Ok i tried to fix permisions and key test. On key test it doesn't show that my home button works - but still I am able to go into recovery and download with 3 button. So home button in some way works. However it doesn't work in recovery and in rom. So it's hardware related or I should try anything else?? But how it can be hardware related as I can go into recovery and download...
thats the mystery puzzling my mind too lol.
it most definitely cant be hardware related. does recovery and download mode work EVERYTIME without fail ??
what was the oldest firmware you flashed ?? may i recommend going way way back to eclair. something like JM1 with a 512PIT ??
Yes I can enter recovery and download always.
I can try even older than JM1 if it would help. But ok will try JM1. Just install with re-partition and check if it help or anything else??
yea but make sure it comes in all 3 files. phone modem csc. and add the 512 PIT, and make sure re-partition is checked.
then report back good luck i have my fingers crossed for ya !
It didn't work :/ What to do now. Mayby there is any code to fix home button firmware or something :/
It's really strange. I can try even older firmware.
i dont think that FW is going to be the issue,
this seems a little more complex then i originally thought
phone does still work tho right ??
try this app i have attached and see if you can fix it..
if not we gonna need some help from a nice helpful friendly developer lol.
Still no sucess :/
Probably I will give it on warranty...
oh dear !!
i really thought we would of cracked it by now.
i have no more ideas. i wish i could help even more.
its such sad news (for me) when a SGS has to be sent away for repairs.
i always feel as if its a child being sent into foster care, thats how it makes me feel

It occurs that I have home button pushed all the time. So I can enter recovery and download without pressing home button. Is there simply way to fix this or only warranty?

Hello,
I have this strange problem.
I own a SGS, Vodafone locked, no hack, cooked ROM, etc installed...I used only Kies.
After upgrading to 2.2.1. (latest version available in Kies), all my installed applications stopped working. All applications were taken from market.
Default apps from Android work without a problem.
The error messages I get are:

I thought it was because I did something wrong in the update process.
I solved it by uninstalling and then installing again all my apps.
Few days ago, after changing the batteries (I have a spare one), I happened again, exactly the same.
So, can you please tell me if it happened to you?
Are there any solutions?
Should I write to Samsung?
Thanks in advance!
Anyone has an advice?
Very strange, are both batteries genuine?

This problem is due to a lagfix!! Have you activated any? First you should try to flash another firmware...It MUST CONTAIN 3 FILES!

It happened to me too, after taking out the battery because my phone got stuck. I managed to fix it with titanium backup, using the data restore option. But you need to have backups of the installed apps first...
Funnily it also happened on my galaxy tab, after it shutdown and rebooted by itself.
On my sgs and tab I installed Lbe security guard just a few days before. I think that's the culprit, but I don't have proof...
Uf, so it seems I am not the only one.
Here is the answer from Samsung, which does not help me at all.
Dear Mr./ Mrs.
Thank You for contacting Samsung Electronics Romania!
Regarding Your request , we inform You the followings,
The message you send us, appear due to a conflict from OS and the aplications.
To remove that mesages, we ask you kindly to make this steps:
1. Try to reinstall the aplications from Android Market
2. Make a Data Factory Reset, after you make a Back-up of your data , through Samsung Kies Application.
3. If the simptoms persist please contact our service center to verify your product :
Just make a factory reset and download the apps out of the market again and your problems will be solved.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Yeah, and when it happens again, I do a factory reset...on and on...
Make first of all app backup using titanium or mybackup, although i'm not sure if those are working without root. Or maybe try to root and flash Your phone with some custom rom and the flashing fun will begin! Warning it's very addictive...
If it happens again and again and even after factory resets you should flash a new firmware with Odin (use a PIT-file and tick Re-partition).
hi! could add the MIUI camera.apk & MIUI gallery.apk in this rom?? (OxygeN1mod Nexus One)
thanks
why are you not asking that question in that thread so the dev can answer?
Because I have 1 post only Sorry
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
Forgot about that
Now you have two
MIUI apps like Music, Camera & Gallery will most likely NOT work on other ROMs, due to their strict association with the custom MIUI framework, which is always changing. You'll find that newer/older versions of MIUI apps will also not work with older/newer versions of MIUI for this very same reason.
Then again, the only way to find out for sure is to actually try out and find a version which may work for you ... have fun.
thanks, I will seek a solution

Make sure you are MANUALLY wiping the /system partition. If you are running ClockworkMod recovery, you can do it under the Mounts and Storage menu. If you are using Amon_RA, you will need to find a flashable zip that will wipe the system partition for you.
Sorry if I don't use the thread in the developers section but I need 10 posts to do it, and this is my first one .
Thanks ch33kybutt for this awesome ROM, but I have 2 (very) little problems with it:
1. when I switch off/on the lock screen toggle on the status bar, I have to reboot the phone to have again the lock screen working.
2. Each time I reboot the phone, I lose the configuration of the render effect.
Anyways, the ROM is perfect . Thank you.

That's what I'm working with right now. I had many roms before I decided to come back to the stock version listed above. Now, I'm trying to get the gps going and the GPS Test shows that the phone doesnt connect to any satellites. I tried some other gps programs and they don't seem to be working either, due to no satellite signal. Any ideas?
Thanks.
EDIT:
GPS test found 3 satellites in the area, but it won't connect to any...
Update to UCKK4 then we can help you
where can i find it? it doesn't seem to be posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
edit: just kidding, didnt scroll down. silly me
Updated, still same thing. What do u think? I also tried the use of wireless networks and still didn't help. Ideas?
Did you factory reset? Maybe your GPS antenna isn't working... When did this start happening?
It's been like that for quite a while. It's hard for me to estimate since I've never really used gps. I didn't do a factory reset, I used the "I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, NO Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe."
^
For the GPS... Turn GPS on, go into Angry GPS (*#*#3214789650#*#*). Under Settings/ Supl Settings/ Change the Server to supl.google.com and change the Server Port to 7276 . Select Done. Then hit back twice and select Delete GPS Data. Then hit back twice and u should be home. Install the free GPS Test app from the Market and check it. U should be a whole lot better now.

Okay, seems like we're getting closer to solving this. After doing what 4-2ndtwin said my phone started to lfind more satellites in the area, although it's not connecting to any of them. Am i suppose to somehow connect to them, im guessing it should be automatic.
Edit: Nevermind! I had to wait a second. Thanks to both of you. Problem solved!
still no gps
I have the same problem as Satis1994 ... no satellites under gps test app ... I also used I the "I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, NO Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe." . I did what 4-2ndtwin suggested but... nothing! GPS icon just keep flashing ... and that's it .... please help!
Under Settings/ Applications/ Manage applications, go to GPS Test app and clear data, clear cache, force stop. Back out to Home and try again. If not successful afterwards, then u may need to try another modem.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
thanks for your fast reply ... I followed those settings but nothing ... it doesn't even find a single satellite. You mentioned that maybe I need to try another modem ... sorry but I'm kinda of a newbie ... how you do that?
U can use Odin3 v1.83 or similar to flash a modem. Run Odin on ur pc, select the PHONE tab, and navigate on ur pc to the modem.bin file of the modem of ur choice (must be i897 based because u r running an i897 firmware. [there is a modem stickied thread in the Dev forum]), connect ur phone to ur pc in Download mode and select Start. Modem will get flashed. Phone will reboot and u r done.
Or if u r running corn kernel that has cwm recovery, u can simply flash ur "cwm modem.zip" file through said recovery.
There are probably several videos on the youtube that u could check out. (i made a short tutorual a long time ago. Look in my signature link below if u r on a pc, there is a link to it there, as well as other videos).
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
thanks! I'll try some of those modems ... by any chance do you know which one will work better @ CT ? And how do I go back if the modem that I install doesn't work ??
There is a map in that modem thread that shows where people have posted where they live and a good workin modem for their area.
And u can go back to the original modem just like u flash any other modem.

I think that I'm doing something wrong cause i don't see any pins in the map ... I'll check it later ... But I really appreciate all your help ...
