I apologize in advanced if this question has been asked before but, I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for. Also, I been away from xda for awhile.
Was wondering if there's a fix or another app out there to solve captivates gps issue without root? I remember before that telenav for the vibrant (I believe) worked on the captivate very well. Tried to go to the site but it is not thier anymore.
Thanks.

Hey all,
This is my first post after getting my captivate yesterday. I am running on the new Jh7 firmware with SRE 1.3c and ext 2 lag fix. My phone is blazing fast with a 2400 quadrant score. All of this thanks to a wonderful community. Just wanted to give a quick thanks to everyone on here as everyone is great.
Now for my question, my buddy has an evo4g and on his phone he's got a car mode or car dock app that brings up just the essential things needed while driving. I cannot seem to find this app anywhere.
If someone can provide an apk or lead me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Enkso

Search for Captivate in the Market and it should bring up the Samsung apps for Desk and Car mode as well as some other goodies.
Awesome thanks so much!

Do a market search for captivate, you'll find one for home and car. Though for home I suggest buying klaxon from clockwork. Good app that supports an awesome dev.

They are still around, I found them just fine.
Just type in "Car Home" in the market search and it will bring up several alternatives.
;-p My "Car Mode" is my pocket. I don't txt/call while driving.
But Car Home is the one you want. If anything might be able to find just the .apk here on the forums somewhere.
You might not be able to access it with eclair, or at least if you run cognition 2.2 and it declares itself as eclair

Pretty sure it's a froyo app, at least I never saw it on the market until I got Cogs froyo.
Got it on stock 2.1 kernal and rom here, still on my market.

You might want to check out the google car home app. It can be configured to startup when you connect to a bluetooth headset.
hrm that's wierd couldn't find it using cog 2.1.5.. will update to froyo and check it out

Google Car home is only for Froyo.
Captivate Car home works with 2.1.
ok.. i think its a market restriction.
I'm currently using an Australia Telstra Sim, on Stock Captivate JH7 and still can't find it.. anyone have the apk's or a way of getting it?
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.
Have you had any luck?

I was looking around few app websites and came across PandoaTV
so I went to my market was not able to find it.
So I told my friend about it and he was able to download it but he has HTC from tmo.
I am using right now the newest phoniex rom...... and thought I did all the things to unlock the market but I guess not.
Can someone else with a cap see if they can find it in the market place?
And if so what you did to get to be able to DL it?
From what my friend got it seems like a pretty good quality app for streaming tv.
Just a thought that I would share "about" this app while trying to found out how to fix it haha ^^
Thank you~!

Must be the rom =/
Yea can someone post the apk....it is a free app correct
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
its not the "ROM" but it is the CSC file included in the rom that is the issue for you. the phoenix rom is made in UK. either flash a US csc file OR use the app `Market Enabler`it allows you to temporarily change your CSC for the market, until reboot.
my market is funky
sometimes it works
sometimes it doesnt
I cant dl anything sometimes or update
sometimes I can... =/
its not the phone because I changed it twice...
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.

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.
Hey guys im sure yall have all noticed that gps on our phones all suck but with a few tweaks like Adam has done for supernova and phoenix is there a way we can get a semi working gps on our phones using miui?
Are you saying that you are having issues with GPS on miui

gps has worked well for me. not the best I have ever had but not bad. Try different modem/kerne
I use the evo 4g with sprint. Im running miui 1.4.29 and everything is working fine. The gps is flakey, i use the telenav and it seems to stall. App loads i enter the address and it keeps searching for gps, then it fails and i hit retry and then it loads the route, but it doesnt move like as if it lost signal. Anyone can help?
gps works awesome for me. you need to just find the right modem kernel combo and i think you'd be surprised.
I'm having GPS issues since rooting and ROM-ing RD-MIUI-2.4.13_ICS-EN-DESIRE HD.
Using Google Navigation, I get a GPS lock on straight away but after about 5 minutes, it just keeps searching for GPS. Is there a way of installing the stock GPS Radio only?
