I'm running the stable cognition 2.1 version.
Or do the 2.2 cognition versions have a gps fix in them?
I hate running beta versions which is why I'm not running 2.2.

There is no real GPS fix that I know of. You can play with the lbstestmod to try and improve performance.
Captivate
Cog 2.2
Latest CoG version runs great.
GPS works well in the car but you need to have in a dock on the window. If you have it on the chair, wont work, it will tell you that you're in Moscow
None of the 2.2 versions have any modifications for GPS. Some of the earlier 2.1 versions did, you can check DG's download page and the change log shows whats in each and when he removed the "fixes".
I have had better luck with the 2.2 versions but Im on my 3rd captivate and I can say that my 1st one sucked in comparison with me 2nd and 3rd. My first was just a lemon, I hosed the second and got a replacement as the 3rd. The only setting that has seemed to make much of a difference for me is going with cold start versus hot start but that could just be me and what I "think" helped.

If you have a phone with a working 3 button combo, try shep s rom based on the jpm i9000 build. Gps could lock in my living room and locked/tracked well while moving. The reason why I mention the 3 button combo is for some reason, that rom does not let you into down load mode with the vol + plugging in usb so you could perma brick your phone.

Well, it works for me
Yes and no. Froyo has decent performance but soema are haveing problems. I personally see a problem if i leave lbs test mode running too long. Lbs can get a lock better than google maps. So sometimes ill use it first if i have troubke getting a lock. But it will turn the gps off after some time on my phone( icon disapears feom notification bar). After that i see the chip turn off at a regular interval in google maps. Some software works without a hitch like my tracks. Some seems to cause a similar problem. And some is touchy. I might sugest trying an alternative software like navdroyd. And if you dont get a lock at first just be patient. The error on my phone doesnt seem to be universal and only a factory reset fixes it. Still i dont recomend changing the lbs settings just incase. If you dont get a lock go outside with a clear sky and let it try for at least 10 minutes. In google maps you will need to prevent it from sleeping so you might want to try an alternative program. Once you get a lock you shouldnt have trouble getting another one. But some are still sating they have poor gps. Either there are alot of negafive people or the gps performance is inconsistant. It may just be a hardware issue. For navigation in your car you might want a bluetooth gps antenna. The phone should otherwise work for walking around.
edit: i have no dificulty navigating in my car with no accesories. Even with the phone on the pasenger seat. Other than the one error which i have been able to prevent lately my gps works great.

My GPS is fine if i give it a pretty much vertical view of the sky through the windshield. If i set it on the passenger seat or in a cup holder it performs terribly.
This should have been asked in the Roms thread instead of opening a new thread.

I have installed different ICS roms to 3 different i9000s. All of them has touchscreen problems.
Some parts of the touchscreen does not react to your touch sometimes. You have to lock and unlock your phone to regain the full touchscreen. I have tried different kernels etc... No go. It really annoys when you are dialing a number, writing a message etc.
And interestingly no one mentions about it at ICS Rom and ICS kernel threads. Can I be that unlucky to have the problem on 3 different i9000s (They are not from the same batch, each one is bought from another part of the world, at different years).
I would really like a solution or suggestion. Till now i have tired different kernels, different ROMs (mostly ICSSGS (different versions), and Dark Knight (different Versions)). I even tiried diffrent schedulers and governors.
Peace.
That's weird, I have used SlimICS and have never had TS problems... Are you sure you flashed everything right? Please explain the way you've done it
with one phone installed team icssgs as it should coming from the stock , other phones back to stock with odin than cf root and flashing the roms after wipes factory resets. the usual flashing procedure....
Try flashing the team hacksung base first, afterwards flash your desired custom ROM. That should do it.
could you try to explain the diff. between flasiing without cm9 or or with cm9. whar would
be the difference at the end?
I don't exactly know why this is needed, but I would assume that TeamHacksung or CM9 have some frameworks included which are perhaps missing in custom ROMs. I'm just guessing, don't really know =/
Have you tried it? For a CM9 based ROM, flash CM9 first and for a TH based ROM, TH first
Hello,
Have you checked if the Problem still remains when you are on Stock ROM?

no i havent but it was working just before i flashed icd.
also i have 2 more phones with the same problem. So it is not my phone malfunctioning.
In ICS-333 from you can turn on show touches in developer options in settings menu you could see if its registering your touch immediately or at all. The browser is the only place I've experienced touch lag though.

Hey I got ur prob and I know what causes it, it not a bug, its dirt or water on your screen that causes the prob if u keep the screen spotlessly clean u don't get it

I have activated show touch before, it does not register your touch at all. also I have tried cleaning it no go, since this is happening with 3 different phone, i doubt it is dirt etc.

I know what causing it. It a bug where dirt or water or something gets on the screen and because the drivers on ics is so sensitive it picks it up, try changing sensitivatiy or keep that screen very clean
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
i have the same problem. its very frustating. never happened in gingerbread. only on ICS.the bug happened occasionally, the funny thing is it only affect the first row area of the screen. (lower left altheway up to upper left corner), it doesnt register tapping on the screen but it still register swiping from outside of the area..., like ussual i need to lock and unlock again to make the touch working again.
I have installed GB back and problem is gone? I am out of ideas anyone?
Flashed back ics bug returns, flashing jb same thing.
Exactly the same problem here
With Stock GB everything works fine, with custom roms the right side of the touch screen doesn't react. You have to lock and unlock your phone to regain the full touchscreen.
This is interesting this is far more than i anticipated anyone with a clue?
same problem here. my screen was working when i bought it (obviously). it was froyo then. the touchscreen problem appears when i upgraded to custom ICS rom. the middle part of my touchscreen does not respond to touch. none. nada. although the rest of the screen seems to be responding to touch so far. turning the screen off the on again temporarily fixes the problem, but not always. i put back a gb rom, the problem was gone. i was thinking maybe there's a different digitizer driver samsung put on their stock gb roms. it's really annoying.
any more ideas? should i replace my touchscreen digitizer?
Yes it's really annoying :crying:
What is different between stock gb/froyo and ics/jb custom roms that have such an effect on the touchscreen?
I will try the app SGS Touchscreen Booster to decrease the screen sensivity, maybe it helps
never heard of this problem in all the time i was ics.maybe time for some jellybean
Hi everyone,
I bought a Samsung galaxy s last week from an eBay auction. The phone was described as touch screen lag. I was thinking that flashing a new firmware will solve the problem. I got really cheap though
The touch screen stops suddenly in every 5/6 minutes and I have to lock the screen using power key and unlock again to make it working.
when I got the phone:
Non Samsung battery and chargers were used, I changed and using original ones.
Stock XXJVS firmware in it.
First I flashed stock 2.2.1 froyo and test the screen using *#0*# code. it got pass. But when I start using it, the problem was still there.
Then I flashed stock GB, same story, now slim ics, same thing.
Please someone help me, there is nothing I can do with it now.
I search few threads related to screen problem but couldn't find one with similar problem. So asking here.

Sounds like a hardware problem to me..but it's really hard to say if it is. But it would definitely seem like it since it isn't ROM related. Maybe a water damage or faulty digitizer?

This happens to me sometimes very rarely though, it will be weird and hard to touch but speaking to someone with the same phone they said they had this problem to all I do to resolve the problem is lock and unlock the screen, I thought this was normal?

It shouldn't be normal. I am using another galaxy s for almost two years. But never had this problem in such extent, little bit lag on touchscreen when on froyo. But never after. Now with slim ics Temple run is more smooth then iphone 4.

Thanks for reply. When I got it first time, it was really annoying, the problem was so frequent that it was almost unusable. Now in new rom, after unlocking the screen it works little longer then before. Works like a charm when it works. So not sure this is hardware problem.
Sent from my Galaxy S using xda premium
I don't think this is a hardware or problem either, I broke the screen and replaced it and I still have the same thing when though it is very rare, so if it was the screen it should of gone after I installed the new one, btw I installed a whole new pre built front so the bevil and LCD, and my phone has never hib water damaged? Maybe its something to do with the bootloader? As that doesn't change through ROM flashes

@xsenman;
I did that couple of times going through Advance slim setting. That didn't change anything. Now I'll try this as well.
I change touchscreen into chainfire sensitive option in semaphore app. Still lagging.
Tried over clocking to 1200 but it freezes and automatically reboots into recovery mode. I can use only after changing to default

Guys its really annoying now. Its behaving strangely. I played with it few hours and found out that the screen near the home button freezes first. I cant press the dock but still pull the notification bar? then stops working whole screen. I checked the show touches in developers options setting. Sometimes it works randomly actually without touching it , I just place my finger near the screen but didn't touch and on few occasion it works opposite direction, like I scrolled down but it gone up:crying:
Is this the sensor issue? Is there any way to fix? Any idea please?

Screen+digitizer panel can be changed by yourself. For it, you just need couple of tools and little nerves
Instructions can be found from YouTube, this forum and many other places..

I tried all of those apps, nothing wrong. I think I should change the screen and digitizer, I might need to go to the repair center because my hands shake (my usual problem) and hard to fix tiny things. I want to do few experiments before taking it to repair. I already put it in the freezer for two hours it was acting like crazy after.
Suggest me more...

Me too!
and i thought i'm the only one experiencing this kind of problem. it is exactly what i'm having on my sgs. seems to be temporarily fixed by turning the screen off and then on again, but after a while, the screen doesn't respond on the same spot as you're having.
i've managed a low level debug on screen touch response using adb logcat, and my touch doesn't really register any on adb logcat console.
they might be correct on the hardware problem, but when i'm on any gingerbread rom (2.3.6), the problem is gone.
guys, any idea what kind of drivers they're using on gingerbread for our touchscreen?
I have this too on ics, left half of screen stops responding, lock on/off sorts it....until the next time! Bugs the hell out of me!
Me too! on ICS
btw, i'm already on ics team nyx
change
flash CF KERNEL and put ICS CM9
middle screen not responding
- when in stock gb firmware (official from samsung), the touchscreen problem is gone.
- but i want the features of an ics rom, so i flashed one (first was slim ics); the problem appeared first; first guess was the custom rom was still in its early stages.
- flashed back to gb, no touchscreen problem.
- flashed new ics rom from cm9 (nightlies), problem appears again (ugh!).
- flashed backed to updated slim ics since this was the fastest and easiest to install, touchscreen problem still persist.
- found a temporary fix by turning the screen off then on again.
did a adb logcat full trace log of touchscreen input: what i noticed was the whole vertical middle part of the screen is not responding to touch; dragging touch from one side to middle is working just fine, but not starting from the mid vertical part.
the problem may sometimes go away after a while, and sometimes persist even after the temp fix. it's very intermittent indeed.
help please.

So your sgs touchscreen working fine on stock gb rom! It might not be a hardware problem then. We have similar problem, only difference is I have problem on GB too. I've even tried stock froyo, same story

same problem here, left part of the screen would be unresponsive at times
can fix by locking the phone through power button and unlocking it, thats why i think its a software problem.
I dont remember having this problem in GB also.
maybe something is messed up during flash?
I have the same problem with ics and jb roms from the onecosmic ics times and i had a topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648287
I have written here but no one seems to now what it is, i have been using ics from onecosmics first release and had the problem from that moment on, different kernels, roms etc it is still here i have flashed gb again and problem is gone, flash again with ics the middle part still acts sometimes. ?...
We should request from kernel developers and rom developers to look into it. I have tried almost everything no luck so far
Hi, for a month now my droid 4 has had a problem where the screen will not rotate when the phone does. I have done a full wipe/reset, upgraded to jelly, and shook it a little yet the screen still will not rotate.
Is there any way to see if the accelerometer is working so i can tell if its a hardware problem or software problem? Is there anything i can do to fix it if it is a hardware problem, because i dont think verizon will accept a return or exchange
Do you have auto rotate enabled?
Most likely this is your problem. Disabling auto rotate will force your phone to portrait mode.
Auto rotate can be found on settings>display
Make sure there is a checkmark in auto rotate.

I'm not OP, but I'm using Cyanogenmod 10, nightly build 4/28 or so. I kept updating to see if it got fixed and hasn't for as long as I've had the phone, month. I just saw in the dev forum that using build 1904 with a replacement kernel file it would work, but my phone won't boot into cyanogen anymore. I'm currently trying to fix that issue now.
Anyone know how to fix the accelerometers in cyanogen 10 correctly?

I tried the replacement kernel, and it didn't fix the problem for me on Liquid-JB-v2.2 .
Fix for CM10 rom is scheduled for tonight.
Many roms on this forum are based on the CM10 rom so should slowly solve all of these issues. Keep an eye on the CM10 thread
Hi,
I have a problem with my galaxy s3 i9305, it is acting strange. Whenever I have an official ROM, it just hang like not going anywhere and give a pop-up that the setup wizard is not responding, and then i changed it to custom ROM, i tried PA, CM, Resurrection Remix and etc. It works fine, until the screen is off, my s3 will automatically reboot or its hang. But the problem only appear after the screen is off, and it works fine if i never turn off the screen..anyone have an idea about this??
Sorry for my bad english, and thank you.:victory:

cause it's a strange problem man..no one can give you an exact answer..here is my opinion:
well since you flashed the original firmware and the problem still is(assuming you did a full wipe between instals) your problem is hardware related.. i would suggest going to local service and investigate further...since you flashed custom i guess warranty is out.
today i read an article about iphone admitted they have a problem with their unlock button on the 5 model...maybe they did some voodoo to affect our phones too....
