Just flashed his new GR9 and i'm curious to know, when locking the phone (tapping power button once) is the screen supposed to have a white flash-like shut off? sort of like powering of an oldschool TV. Not that big of a deal, but can get annoying.
Any good reason why the stock sms will not send txt? downloaded handcent sms and it will send just fine. but not both receive incoming, is there a way to fix this or to disable the stock sms?

That is a gingerbread thing. If you dont like it turn off animations in the display setting or use spare parts and set them to fast, that will disable that animation but increase the speed of the others.

Just curious to the advantages/disadvantages of this over Serendipity 6.4, other than the details that are posted on the front page, what are some peoples opinions about this??
Thanks!

Anyone have the AllShare apk from SGS II? I tried the one from 2.2 ROMS on GR-10 and it just fc's. Hoping the one from the SGS II works...
First call after re-boot
On the first call attempted after re-boot, the screen went black on connection, and stayed that way for at least a minute. All subsequent calls were fine. Anyone else experiencing this?

Did you unzip the 7Z file? You'll see them then. It includes Odin 1.7 too.
Quick Question Regarding 3 Button Fix
Hey all. Getting ready to flash this Awesome new ROM from Serendipity 6.4. My question is do I need the 3 Button Fix working before I flash this? My phone lost that ability and was wondering if I should:
1)Return to stock using ODIN w/3 button fix
2)Reflash over that with ODINoneclick (saw that this might be required for GB roms)
3)Then Follow Mikey's instructions
Any input or advice is greatly appreciated!
If you use one click after the 3 button fix you'll probably lose the combo ... Just use the 3 button combo fix. You'll be on stock from there you can proceed to gingerbread.
DO NOT use that to get to stock from gingerbread!! Use one click for that.
gr 10 running now

Now that source is out from the SGS II, can anybody add the code that wakes up the phone when a message is received and implement that in with the AOSP Mms.apk so users that like the look/feel of the AOSP mms app can also enjoy the nice feature of their phone auto waking up when a new message is recieved?
Ill upload the two mms.apk here and rename them to easily distinguish the two apart.

I sloved my own problem, I just decompiled the mms.apk and inserted all the AOSP icons and changed out the ugly yellow bubbles for some better looking gray ones.
I'll upload once I get home for anybody who was wanting to use it.
I am wondering if anyone is having a reboot issue. My phone after installing this ROM reboots after sitting idle for any length of time... battery is at 93% (battery life is fantastic with this ROM). This is on GR 11, all flashed according to unstructions and working properly. I thought this may have been due to flashing Talon and converting to EXT4. However I re-did the installation from stock, and am still having the issue.
Anyone else having the same issue?
The above code does not display the GPS Setup on DXJPE.... Any other way to access GPS?
BTW, GPS works faster since I upgraded to JPE. I only encountered this when I read thru overcome Tips and |Tweaks....
Try only *#3214789650# & report back.

Ah ok I think your angryGPS is fracked. Try a factory Reset if it didnt work reflash.
Thank you for advising. GPS is working ok so at the moment I will not factory reset just to get the GPS settings all lose all customizations in the process.
Update: Used Titanium to backup. Then, downgrade via kies to JK2(number code is working on this version,tested it) then update to DXJPE thru kies. Still problem exist. Then factory reset and reflashed JPE problem still there.
DEFINITELY A DXJPE BUG....although I don't experience any problem with gps,but then I only use gps in Maps.....I even installed GPS TEST and it was ok.
Hi
we have 3 galaxy s in our household, 2 of them have a working gps and will lock on, the other one finds about 3 GPS but never locks on .
we are using GPS test from the andriod market to test the phone.
The faulty phone using gps test says inview 3-5 inuse 0) We have sent the phone back to phones4u (UK) and thet sent it to an accridited repair centre.
It came back and the report said it was a software bug
we then retested with gps test and it was only finding 3-5 inview and 0 inuse according to gps test.
All they have done is i think they have just reinstalled the phone back to 2.2 and sent it back to me.
Can you give me any advise on how to fix this please
install jvr -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050
Whats the differance between JVR and JVO?
My mums phone is running JVO and the GPS is running fine
can you go from 2.2 straight to JVR?
it has been a bit fixed in jvp/q/r - better signal streanght (snr - signal to noise ratio) due the files updated by samsung - not much but always worth to use latest best files
thats why i always recommend latest firmwares wo any kernels
as samsung never releases sources to latest firmware releases
so you will revert some kernel changes introduced in newer version and not present in kernel builed from older sources
same goes with system files - but in most cases kernels are not touching those
and yes you can go to 2.3.4 jvr straight as long as you will use 3 file firmware and do it as it is said in the thread i linked
Thanks
i will download jvr europe with 512 pit and give it a try will update thread asap
looking forward for your feedback
Many Thanks for your help so far, I have just flashed the Faulty phone with the Links you Provided
However after running GPS Test - its finding 6-8 GPS In View - however its not using any (6+ Inview - 0 Inuse)
is there anything else we could try?
Or do you think the phone is faulty?

download both - jvr is stock sgs1 gps gr3 is one used in nexuss and soem say it is better
i am testing the gr3 atm so cant speak but it seems better
Which zip do i install First and try
Nevermind
GPS_JVR is Stock
Installing GPS_GRK39C as we speak
Ive Installed the files (I think )
How long do you have to wait on average for it to find the First GPS?
depends, should be something around minute. ive got fix after flashing in about 20 seconds
but it depends on snr in your location, and so many other variables
btw enable data connection/wifi so phone can download agps data
without that it infact can take couple of minutes
Does the Phone Download the agps data automatically?
yup =) as long as there is active data connection/wifi
use those apps to test and download agps:
GPS Status & Toolbox
GPS Test
GPSTest

So, i Figured somethings wrong with CM9.0 alpha7 for the i9001 and that's something i've searched loooooooooooong enough to understand actually NO ONE has had this problem.First i had alpha 4 and with some searching in these forums i figured alpha 4 had wifi problems entirely.Then i downloaded alpha7........ thought my problems would go away but............. when doa clean install without the SIM inside my wifi works pretty good,but the moment i turn my phone off,insert SIM,and enter the PIN, my wifi...like,disappears on it's own.NOTHING WORKS!!!! i'm desperate to keep CM9.i even tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache and fix the permissions inside ROM MANAGER and form CWMR........NOTHING!!!! even got that dhcpcd fix thing that someone had posted,didn't work. and it's not just my home's wifi,i can't connect anywhere!tried rewriting wpa_supplicant file and the other stuff related to wifi(can't remember)with that wifi fix .zip fil manually, by flashing, using the files on other ROMs,NOTHINGGGGGGGG! WiFi only works with a clean reinstall of the ROM and WITHOUT SIM inserted. even tried with a SIM that had no PIN, same thing. i even downloaded AOKP,flashed, doesn't even boot.i don't wanna go around downloading every ics ROM i see so PLEASE give me a fix!!!

My Galaxy Note was with ROM SlimSaber 4.4.2 and the gps was not working. Then I put Cyanogenmod 11 but the problem continues.
Someone who has any of these two Rom is facing this problem?
I thank for the help. :good::good:
Sorry for my english. I'm from Brazil.

CM 11: GPS working fine here.
I am using latest frantisheq cm11 built and gps working fine.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Strange, I've formatted the Note, put the rom Slimsaber and Cyanogenmod 10.2 and gps still not working. I am using GPS Test and Sygic for try to capture the satellites but nothing happens.
Would know tell me a way to check if the gps is actually connected, and if there is any way to fix this?
Thank you for the help of the two.

Try install a stock Samsung rom and check GPS.
I have the same problem for a while. I am using SllimSaber.
I have formatted and reflashed KK several times nothing changed.
Now i will try stock rom as suggested.
I have installed AryaV7 nothing has changed, no GPS signal at all
Any ideas?

Does your phone's GPS indicator blink? Maybe your phone's GPS is broken? Have you tried aps named "GPS Test", from google play?
Did you tried to use the app GPSData to download latest AGPS info?
Also you can try to modify gps.conf/gps.xml to choose different time/supl server, that is greatly helpful for fixing GPS.
Try reflashing rom (clean install) - In case there is nothing wrong with your GPS hardware everything should work just fine
I have modified gps config data with Faster Gps. Results did not change.
I have also used AndroiTS Gps test,Gps data, Gps status, Gps essentials none of them was able to catch a satellite.
I have clean install Slim Saber but the result is the same.
I am started thinking that it is not software related.
It could be a hardware issue....
Folks,
Like you I spent days editing gps.conf, installing apps, reflashing ROMS, all to no avail.
There seems to be no magic bullet and what works for one may not work for another, but I eventually stumbled across http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973727.
As you will see it requires opening the case and 'tweaking' two contact points. To my surprise it worked for me - although not perfectly. I get about 10 satellite fixes and 6, maybe 7 locks. ('GPS Test' is an excellent freebie to tell you what locks/fixes you are getting.) But a big step in the right direction. There are a few images in the thread that describe the issue/ remedy.
Top (well, average) tips:
1. If you haven't taken a case off before:
a. don't try it just before setting off to a dinner party. It is a bit of a pig and requires some grunt, swearing and patience - but it can be done! There are a few YouTube videos that help explain the process.
b. you will require a size 000 cross-head (Phillips) screwdriver. Go out and buy one if necessary (if you can find somewhere that sells them - I use the one from my spectacles repair kit which just happens to fit; not perfect but does the job - http://www.poundland.co.uk/spectacle-repair-kit. If you try with too big a head you risk stripping the screw heads and that is ......... well, not recommended.
2. Once you have completed the job test your N7000 (with GPS Test) before putting the 9 screws back in. Mine works better with no screws! You may find different.
As I say above this may work for you and may not, so the usual health warning, proceed if you wish.
You can find similar issues on Samsung smartphones, eg http://gs3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/s...-gps-problems-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-0145332/.
Good luck :laugh:

Did you solve the problem? I have the same trouble that have arisen after updating to kitkat.I tried everything to solve it, without success (clean installation, downgrading to stock rom, editing the gps.conf file, reinstalling google maps, modem changes, hardware check ect.).
I switched to Lollipop but problem remain unsolved.
Regards
I'm glad I found this thread; I too have tried all possible solutions that may have worked for others (edit gps.config, reflash stock ROM, go back to GB, tighten the screws, bend the antenna contacts and so on), and none have helped. At all.
Now, I read somewhere that what is most likely causing the problem (completely dead gps, gps status apk shows zero satellites) is a corrupted EFS partition. This is a partition that usually is not touched by factory resets, ROM changes and so on. It also contains information that you cannot afford to loose (imei and so on).
So, I managed to backup this partition using KTools. Now, the problem is how do I get a clean, EFS partition? Is there a way to reflash this partition from a hidden backup thru odin? Or some other way?
Any help would be vastly appreciated!
Regards.
