Apparently they released the JH2 again but including a SPL fix, so people already on JH2 will need to flash back to JG8 or something, then flash forward to JH2 again to get the new SPL fix

I got JH2 the other day. Yesterday my phone was going retarded, freezing and losing signal when it never had before. Seemed ok last night and today though I haven't spent much time with it today.
GPS was totally out of whack last night, sitting still and my location was jumping all over the place. Google navigation is unusable. Checked compass in GPS essentials and it was fine but in nav it just spins around and can't get it right.
Youtube widget changed. Now shows most viewed on the main bar but video and search buttons are not functioning properly. Right now it only shows the search button. If I search or launch youtube then go back the video button will be there but neither thet nor the search button will work. Wish I had just left it alone.

did you get the update with the spl fix?
and was your 3 button mode working for you before?
if not does it work with the new update?
lol so many questions... and thanks for the replies and the update on the firmware.

Just update dude. Everyone is experiencing various issues regardless of the firmware. I run 3 to 4 times a week using endomondo and the GPS tracks my route almost flawlessly. A few hitches here and there but nothing horrible.
My 3 button combo wasn't working at all and I was already on JH2. Had to do the registry trick to get Kies to flash the new JH2 on my phone and now it works. Upgrading to the new JH2 is the best choice to make, especially if you have plans on using a few mods.
I highly recommend the battery mod available on this forum after you upgrade. The SGS stock battery indicator is horrible and inaccurate, and I rather not waste my homescreen space on a battery widget.

Ya, did the update a few days ago. Three buttons work now and my gps doesnt think im in japan anymore (ya it was that bad) anyway definitely worth the update.

My 3 button mode worked before the update, I haven't tried it since. I haven't rooted and not sure yet if I will, will see how official 2.2 goes first.
Still losing signal though. Yesterday the girlfriend tried to call me and said she either got a busy signal (WTF) or it just went straight to voicemail.
Today I tried to make a call and had to redial two or three times because it kept losing signal. Def a problem with the phone and not anything to do with reception in my area. Only phone calls though, never lose signal when using data or market ect.

Guys, I'm a bit dense on this subject so please be kind.
I have JH2 on my Galaxy. I can't remember if I updated to this version via Kies.
So far, the 3-button recovery problem has not affected me. I haven't rooted Android (since I don't need SU rights), I haven't yet unlocked the phone (no need) and I haven't attempted any Android system updates. I guess I could be called an average user. I haven't tested the 3-button issue.
What circumstances could arise down the road, which would make it necessary for me to do a 3-button recovery? In other words, is this a problem which could affect all Galaxy owners?
Thanks.

I updated to JH2 prior to the SPL fix inclusion and found it to be better than JG9...smoother and less lag issues. Just make sure to backup everything.

My phone is still on jg9. It never had the three button issue it always worked for me. If I upgrade to jh2 how will this affect me?

I havent been able to update to JH2 from JG9 (trying to use kies but thats a prize in itself) but I have in the past gotten where I would try to call, and as the call dropped while still dialing it would tell me the radio is off. Or it would tell me im in airplane mode etc.
Now for the last 24 hrs I have yet to be able to make a call, although datta and texting works perfectly fine, every time I make a call it says my radio is off. And the same problem when someone calls, they are lucky if they get a fast busy signal.
Im talking with bell to get a replacement in store, if not I have a 'insurance' plan that'll give me a loaner etc while they ship it out.
Any update on whether your phone is still dropping into Flight mode?

[Q] Captivate i896 From roger canada front camera

First of all thanx to XDA developers ,helped me alot,
i got this phone from roger and now i m using it in india in vodafone network...
so before asking my question..i will even try to help others by mentioning what i did,
my phone was network locked by rogers...
it was bought in December 2010...and i tried everything..like gettin one click root..and using that update.zip method but didnt work...
then i rooted thru z4root...it was very easy and worked like charm..
though i still dont know why i needed to root...and what extra facility i get after rooting...
then thru some xda thread i got to know abt helroz app..which i downloaded from market..as i could use my wifi connection...
and yes it asked that i needed my phone to be rooted for the app to work..
it just took 4 min..TOTAL..to get my phone unlocked after rooting it....
(to get the app from market..and then get clicked on unlock..and it asked one or 2 more steps..SELF EXPLANATORY and rebboot)
then i used kies to upgrade it to 2.2 froyo...coz lot of apps were not working properly like skype and yahoo...
and they all started working fine...after the upgrade...
and then i used the code *2767*3855# to reset my phone to factory setting..
so thats about it..
and now when i hav started using it fully...
and now i found out that it doesnt hav fm like other galaxy s...and i dont see the option of video callin which i see in galaxy..though there are 2 small dots r near the speaker...
i m so disappointed abt not having videocall and front camera...
though fm i dont use more so tahts allright..
1)so i was hoping that may be those dots r camera but disabled by roger and using some diff firmware would bring that up...
2)and i m missing few more things which i used in nokia...like i didnt find the message count log..and i couldnt find data use counter..so i get to know taht how much data i m using thru my phone..
as of now i hav only these question..tomo i will connect thru my vodafone data plan(as i m connecting to internet using my wifi)
and if i face more problem then will ask again
and i m just very new here on this forum..and very new to use android...always was a nokia lover..that works on symbian..
so if my this question is annoying or violates any of ur terms and condition..then i m sorry in advance
and thanx in advance for my question gettin answerd
and i would like to help ppl too..once i learn all abt android...

Search for 3G data counter for tracking data. It tracks EDGE data too, and works quit well.

The two dots are a light sensor and a proximity sensor. the captivates are not equipped with front cameras or fm radios. Download rogers myaccount to find out how much data you have used.

thanx.. for clearing the dot concept...i guessed 1 as light sensor already..but didnt figure out proximity sensor...
and i cant use rogers my ac ..as i told u i m not using it in canada and in rogers...
now i m using it in india and in vodafone...

When u use 3g data counter, I would recommend add a buffer of 5-10%. I normally set my monthly as monthly limit - 20% so I know I am reaching my limit earlier than the last minute. Helps to have a little buffer space

thanx in advance

Help with sister's i9000

Hey guys, I don't have an i9000, my sister does. I'm here visiting for the weekend and would like to help her clear up as many issues as possible. Unfortunately time is of an issue, I'm wondering if I can just name the problems, and could anyone please link to solutions/explanations? Many thanks if so.
Here are the issues:
-laggy homescreen (stutters between swiping screens. I've heard there is an app that be installed that fixes this?)
-cannot connect to android market (on 3G, no wifi in the house. Error msg says "cannot establish a reliable data connection to the server. This should be a temporary problem, or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues call customer care")
-battery dies in 4-5 hours (maybe a faulty battery, but maybe a software issue?)
-device (and screen) gets hot after some use (could be normal, I have a wp7 that gets hot on the back)
Her version of Android is: 2.1 (although it says "2.1-update1", but does nothing when you try and press it)
She is on Bell in southern Ontario, and is on a standard data plan.
Again, any help would be so much appreciated. Thanks very much in advance.

Laggy screens are common on 2.1, there are lag fixes and kernel mods that fix this issue, I can't really give you much more info then that otherwise I'd then be talking out my ass since I'm no expert. You can look about here for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966646
Another way to reduce the lag is by flashing a new ROM custom or stock, I'm on a stock 2.3.3 ROM and there is virtually no lag, which also can help with the poor battery performance. Check out here for stock ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810682 and here for custom ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886000
Sorry no idea about the Market problems though, you could try the online market and see if you can push an app to your phone maybe? https://market.android.com/?pli=1, or just look about more on here or the Goog machine
Battery issues, start with all the basics turning stuff off, haptic feedback, GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi etc... only enable apps/services when you need them, also as I mentioned a new ROM could also help with poor battery performance.
The 2.1-update1 is a version, you cant update it by pressing the button (when I was new to Android I did the same ) to update follow the instructions in the threads I posted.
Best thing to do is carefully read over everything before you do anything though, you don't wanna end up with a soft brick specially if download and recovery arent working *had to learn that one the hard way*

2.1.1 is a primitive version.....move onto 2.3.3 GB.....regarding Market....go to Settings>Applicatinos>Select market in the list>clear data. Ensure that this phone actually is subscribed to a dataconnection plan with the service provider

Install kies on a computer and see if there is any firmware update available. You will need a certain combination of files if you want to update to gingerbread using odin as your sgs is an american firmware.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Personally i would update through Kies to latest official firmware . Wait until Gingerbread 2.3 is released before going down that road ..
If you get involved in flashing someone else's phone its either going to work or you brick the phone especially for a newbie and in a short timescale .

If you decide to update via Kies, it sounds like a factory reset is in the need either before or after the flash. Preferably a reset before upgrade, and a reset after. Should clean things up a bit.

Thanks very much guys. I've never flashed a rom before, but I'll look into it to possibly do it next time.
In the meantime I've advised her to call bell about the market problem and battery.
Thanks again.

[FIX] GPS Fixes

Hi,
So I've noticed alot of people have problems with their GPS from time to time on these forums so I've decided to collate any and all fixes into one place. Here they are:
NOTE: I'm not responsible for any harm done to your phone. These suggestions are tried at your own risk. These steps can be taken in any order you want and a reboot is recommended after you try each step.
First thing you can do to get accurate fixes is to go to the Location settings on your phone. Tick the boxes next to 'GPS Satellites' and 'Google's location service' (Press agree when the prompt comes up). Also click 'GPS Source' and make sure 'Use Internal GPS' is selected.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Second thing you can do is download the 'GPS Status & Toolbox' app from the market. Once installed go into the app and hit Menu and then select Tools. From the popup menu select Manage A-GPS state. Select Reset and then Download. Reboot and see if you can get a fix now.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It is recommended you have a Nandroid backup before trying anything below.
Third thing you can do is download this GPS Fix made for the Legend (From Kot_Ik’s CM7.2 unofficial thread). Put it on your SDCard and reboot to recovery and flash it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Fourth thing you can do is flash a new radio in recovery. Get one from here. Try the bottom 2 first before trying the top one. This doesn't seem to be supported in the latest versions of CWM so you should load an earlier fake flash zip file. Go here for the recovery and instructions (Thanks ranger4740)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Last thing I can think of is to change ROM's and see if that fixes anything.

That's all folks. If you're reading this part and your GPS still isn't working then I've got no idea what's going to fix it

This is not needed for old stable releases and was fixed a few weeks ago (so recent RCs and nightly builds already contain that bugfix).

Ali Ba, as you are the legend master, can you please explain why my legend could never achieve GPS lock on ANY version of CM, stable or not, no matter how long my phone tried until I started using the GPS fix mentioned above. I ask because you are the master, and you did say its not nessasary. So that advice is a bit confusing.

It is a config file parsed per line. This means that there shouldn't be any new line characters for lines that the system has to interpret as one.
It's perfectly OK to use a local NTP-server, by the way. It just doesn't fix problems at all. The short differences in the time the packets take to be sent and received are eliminated by the NTP protocol anyway.
Most so called "GPS fixes" are bogus at best (using the newest baseband firmware is something I'd recommend though).

This fix gps.agps.legend.zip is not for CM9. If you flash this, you are flashing a lib which nobody knows where is from.

Exactly, it is for CM7 Kot_Ik, because it is built in that rep for that version, only clarifying for avoid to see posts from people flash CM7 libs on CM9, because it is not the way.

Ok, what I have noticed so far using legend. Don't mess with gps.conf using other custom gps.conf I've use some before (instant lock) and its bogus as Ali ba put it.
Just use faster fix is enough.
OK, now currently I'm on zuebes cm9 and GPS works but getting it to lock is something else. And I love my waze.
I'll get in my car and start waze. Wait for a minutes or 2 than start moving. Lock or no lock, just start moving. Don't drive so fast but stay constant either 40kmh or 60kmh will do just fine. My lock usually happens when I stop at a junction or a traffic light or slow down before a corner.
Then when you lock for the first time. You can combo for the next trip as long as you on your waze at the same spot before leaving. It's instant lock for some cases but need to start over if it does not lock. Assume you use waze.
But if GPS is important. Use stock based rom and ogo2s rom also have good GPS if I remember well... I think its something about HTC didn't release GPS source that we ended up like this.

That's right. There's a bug somewhere in the GPS module but we never got any sources so we don't really know how to work around it. The GPS module on the Legend doesn't have public sources so we hacked together some code from different versions. It works pretty well - once it starts working.
I sometimes can't get a GPS fix either when I started the device with GPS turned off or after toggling GPS a few times. Yeah, it is broken and I am aware of that.
The only "solutions" that really work are rebooting your device with GPS and mobile internet connection turned on. This lets it download AGPS data, inject the current time into the module and you'll get a fix within 20 seconds.
Using the latest radio (=baseband firmware) for your region has been reported to kickstart GPS as well. That's the only fix I can confirm, everything else is shenanigans and you should get your money back .

By quoting me you are implying I'm some one that only knows how to register and start attacking people, how did I attack you, most people here know your the master who gave us all cm for our legend which is wonderful, and I simply asked you as you are the expert to explain how? Then you come back with your B.S answer attacking me, for no real good reason Instead of explaining humanly the answer, you also imply I attack people, when all I do here is try and learn to do stuff, and help others when I can.
Any way best you add me to your ignore list then you won't have to see me attack and abuse every one on xda developers ever again! Hey better still report me to the mods and get me permanently band from xda forums if you've seriously got some evidence of constaintly attacking members.

ugh! this is unnecessary fighting, ali ba might just misunderstood ranger4740 questions, cos it sound corny at first look but if you read it again it's just a genuine question.
about gps fixes, we should trust the expert, yes this won't work as ali ba said there's some bugs in gps module. This fixes might work on other devices but I wonder if it does anything for our Ancient Legend

Agree. Back on topic

...So I am using Zeubea's ICS ROM (BETA3) and my GPS isn't working.
I have refreshed the AGPS-data and flashed the newest (?) radio (7.13.35.05).
In what way is the radio dependent on my geographical location? I live in Sweden, am I using the correct radio?
I get no lock, but I get accuracy of roughly 2km. How is this?
Also, I'm searching for an app to see how many satelites I am connected to, havn't found one yet.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated - thank you in advance ♥

In what way is the radio dependent on my geographical location? I live in Sweden, am I using the correct radio?
I get no lock, but I get accuracy of roughly 2km. How is this?
Also, I'm searching for an app to see how many satelites I am connected to, havn't found one yet.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated - thank you in advance ♥

try using mobile data to get a good starting point (google's location service), also check gps source in location settings, and then try to get the precise location somewhere with a good view of sky....every next time it'll be faster, (you can even disable google's location service if you don't like it being turned on,it should still work faster than the first time after flashing)
edit: i just tried what i wrote above and got fix in no time,even from my room,using zeubeas cm9 beta3 freshly flashed... so, enable mobile data for a brief time until you get gps lock then you can disable it if you wish

[Q] 2x problems??

I recently got the lg optimus x2. It is running on 2.3.4.
Initially, the wifi connected but 3g was not recognised even though data roaming and access was enabled. However, now i cannot even connect to wifi. It keeps saying 'obtaining ip add' and then fails.
Going through various google searches I have messed around with the settings, set apn to default. Done factory reset. Disconnected, reconnected, changed sim cards, tried 2g, messed around with vpn, selected all network mode's but nothing seems to work. I have contemplated rooting the phone but doubt this will do anything?
This is extremely frustrating considering the "amazing" reviews the phone has one expects a simple tool such as wireless connection to work.
Would be grateful if anybody had any other ways to possibly resolve the issue?????
Thanks

You should use NVflash to have a "clean" install.

Did you put the right password in for the router?(;
sent from my wii remote

I have heard that this phone only supports some Wi-Fi channels.
Try to change your Wi-Fi channel to 6, for example.

yes, i did....the wifi worked for the first two days when i got the phone but then stopped working.....

ok give up....waste of money and time
gonna throw it out of the window

There are two things you could do ...
1. Return the LG 2X - if that's still possible
2. Switch to a Custom ROM
Installing the first official LG update to my phone was a major setback for me as a lot of things stopped working, that worked before. But switching to a Custom ROM made me a happy man.
Have you considered trying out e.g. DjangoManouche (2.3.x) it is based on the stock ROM but has massive improvements built in.

If you feel like you want the ICS experience there is NovaHD (based on CM9)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508492
The only glitch with CM9 is, that there are currently no drivers for the Tegra2 chipset released which results in lack of FullHD video recording, beside that the ROM works like a charm.
I am running NovaHD on my 2x now and not willing to go back to Gingerbread ;-)
If there is anything I can help you with, just let me know!
Cheers!

I cant download clockworld mode...so i tried to do it through the computer...and now the phone wont switch on

Hi,
that doesn't sound too good - did you follow any instructions installing clockworkmod?
I installed it using RomManager on the phone itself, worked like a charm.
Did you root your phone already?

I couldn't install it directly as i had no 3g/wifi (initial issue)...after i transferred the Nova Hd file into the SD, installed clockworld through PC and attempted a restart it wouldnt switch back on

Have you tried removing the battery and inserting it again? - Did you turn on the phone while pressing volume down (until the first LG logo disappears)?
This should then boot into clockwork recovery if you installed it correctly before.

done both, nothing works- phone is dead as a brick

This might be a dumb question, but has the battery still power? Have you tried with the power cord attached?
Is there nothing on the screen, no lights blinking? Brick dead?
Does this sound similar?

yes it does....yes i attached it to my computer...nothing happened
no lights, nothing

I am really sorry that you encountered these severe problems :-(
Did charging at the wall or just running off wall power do anything?
