[Q] Help with AngryGPS - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I'm italian so please excuse my bad english. This is my first post. After installing many ROMs on my Galaxy S i9000 i found a problem. When i opened Google Maps i couldn't navigate because it stucked on the "Finding GPS..." sentence on the bottom of the screen. It can't fix so it can't find my position. I've tried to leave it on GPS searching for over 1 hour with no results. So I've tried to search about this problem. On the internet it said " enter the LBS test mode " but I've understood that I needed AngryGPS. But there wasn't on my telephone. It's disappeared when I've installed MIUI. Now I've another rom but AngryGPS is still disappeared. Can someone attache it and write the instructions? (I think I've to put it in system/app folder but I'm not sure). Thankz

Try if this code (to do as a phone call)
*#*#1472365#*#*
or SGS Toolbox application https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.uiterlinden.android.productcodechecker
Allow you to go to GPS test menu

try GPS AIDS . GPS Aids will help you to get a faster GPS Fix in your Samsung Galaxy S
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsIm5ldC5jYW5hcnl4Lmdwc2FpZHMuZG9uYXRlIl0.

No, the code it's linked with AngryGPS but i haven't AngryGPS. Why I can't find anywhere the apk???! For this reason I was asking if someone could attache it! I'm now trying to test that app, thanks, but it would bery helpful if I would find the link to the apk!
EDIT:
I've already tried those two apps(GpsAIDS and SGS Toolbox) but it doesn't work! SGS toolbox uses the code you gave me to enter the GPS menu! GPSAids didn't help me...Why I can't find AngryGPS apk?

you can find it at xda with google search.

[HELP] Dutty's 3.7 XT Weather modifying

Guys I have just modified the 2330..bla manila file following the guide in the Sticky. Everything is ok expect one thing, I did everything, added my city (Lugano, Switzerland). When i go to weather tab and i choose my city it says connection error, but every other city works great :S Can you please help me?
I'm having no luck either.
The instructions regarding SQLite don't work for me. Should point out you need to take off the Read Only flag else SQLite browser won't save your changes. The cities are added ok, and now selectable, but they do not update the weather. Keeps saying connection error (attempted many retries too), just for the custom ones. The default cities update fine.

BTW there Allready is a DUTTY 3.7 Thread, so i think there is no reason to open a new thread !
Good night ( when you ask a question in the thread about the rom you use, You might get help allot faster )
hi all
i had the same problem with the weather using david uk rom the latest one.
This what i did and it worked for me
1. find HH_0409 weathercities_xml file in windows
its under HKEY_Current User\Software\Manilla.
2. Copy the file somewhere on desktop also make a backup of file incase need to replace it.
3. Open it with note pad and change a city which u are not likely to use, find the city code from Accu Weather website and replace all the code.
4. Save the file and copy it back to phone ( i put it in my documents folder) use total commander and replace the existing file.
5. Go in HTC Weather and add new location and file will be there for u to use. Worked for me so hopefully will work for u also.
Tried installing Weather Database but Touch Flo kept crashing tried loads of versions but same result so i tried this method and bingo it worked .
Hope this helps
Thanks
Eggie
Hi all, i just wanna share how i am doing it.
1. Edit 2330dc3c_manila in the sql lite to edit your city
2. Copy the 2330dc3c_manila to storage card
3. use total commander / resco explorer copy 2330dc3c_manila file to /windows (OVERWRITE IT)
(if you update now, u will receive connection error)
4. install the weather master 1.3
5. run weather master once.
6. turn off the touch flo 3d
7. copy 2330dc3c_manila to windows/ (Do This AGAIN)
8. delete forecast_cache at Application Data\HTC\databases

Sometimes a search returns so many results it's all but impossible to find the answer, unless you've been lucky with your chosen search terms.
If you've found the answer, a better way to educate people in the ways of searching might be to tell them what search terms you used. A link to the answer that you found by searching will also be useful.
This is a huge forum, with hundreds of threads and many thousands of posts, and tracking down the few posts that might help with an issue can sometimes be very difficult.

Please try and follow forum rules and don't open new threads unless absolutely necessary!!
I agree that it can be hard to find answers especially in long threads, but if search didn't help, why not ask this question within thread. There is already a discussion at present in Duttys V3.7 thread about this subject with possible solutions so NO need to open new thread

-FIXED-[China-only] Market : "Download was unsuccessful..."

[Edit]
Turned out that the lovely chinese governement somehow got to Android
Anyhow, thanks to Marcus, we have the solution, tested & confirmed working by myself.
Please follow the instructions at that link :
hiapk.com/bbs/thread-278678-1-1.html
Then you'll be happy. If you need more detailed informations, let me know.
I haven't been trying to understand the changes I made. If you somehow feel that it's a problem for you, then leave the phone as is. Also, I guess this will be usable only for rooted phones.
Have fun! And once again, thanks to Marcus.

[End of edit]
[original post, FYI]
Hey all,
Starting yesterday, I am having this error with the market.
Any app I try to get will give me that error : download was unsuccessful, please try again blah~
Weird thing is that it really happened out of the blue, because it was working fine until yest noon. I am on CM 5.0.7.1-N1, with the radio that came with Froyo. Issue exists with Wi-Fi and 3G.
I tried : reboot (multiple times), newer CM, Nandroid restore to a point when it was working, deleted/recreated APN.
I m too lazzy to try and downgrade the radio, and haven't tried to install Froyo.
Strange thing is : gmail app won't connect, but the email app will work (well, I knew that it isn't an internet access related issue, but still...). If I try and install a ROM from scratch, the initial Google login will fail again and again.
Actually, I have one suspicion. I am in Beijing, on China Unicom. I know that China hasn t been kind on Google lately. Any other user in China experiencing this same issue? Or does this just happen sometimes?
Thanks!
I am in GuangDong, and for the past 2 days similar things just happened to me.
I didn't use the GMail app but now you mentioned it, I tried it and it didn't work. It is stuck with "No connection (Retry)" screen
Using Email and setup a GMail account works fine with me as well.
Hopefully, this is not one of the other 'stunt' of the Great China Firewall.
Argh...
I do believe that we may be f***ed, at least temporarily...
Let s see where it goes, but if you do experience the same troubles, then it might a nation-wide thingy.
Are you on China Unicom, too?
Only time will tell.... But let's hope we won't have to give up on Android in China.
Any other Android friends in China having troubles? I ll update the title of the tread, see if we can catch more people's eyes.
Re: [In China only ?] Market : suddenly, "Download was unsuccessful..."
I'm in Shanghai and can only access market apps and gmail syncing with my vpn.

Hey, good catch!
Will give it a shot, then report back here how it went.
Thanks

If anybody needs detailed directions, feel free to let me know.
Will edit the title and original post.

***EDIT
Gmail and the Market work on my US simcard roaming on China Unicom.
I'm in Guangdong; i've also had the same issues with Gmail and the Market at the same time. Both don't work on the network (Unicom) or WiFI connections; I'll have to give that fix a try later, thanks.
Hello!
Can somebody translate the procedure into English?
Thanks!
The procedure is to edit your host file with the information shown.
I m happy to share this, so here is the easy way to do:
1-get the file rootexplorer, which is attached here, if you don't have it.
2- install it, of course If you do not have a file explorer to get to it, then push the file.
3- open it, then find the folder /etc, open it
4- remember to touch the button "Mount R/W" to change the status of the text r/o into r/w right next to the button.
5- find the file called "hosts", and long press it. scroll all the way down to "Open in Text Editor"
6- there is already a line of stuff in there, so just skip a line and type :
209.85.135.100 clients2.google.com1
209.85.135.101 android.l.google.com
209.85.135.100 android.clients.google.com
underneath. I guess the spacing does not really matter, but they have to be each on a different line, as shown here. Also, it is a pain in the ass to type, so make sure there is no typo at first try
7- in options, save&exit (it creates a backup by itself)
8- reboot (not sure if that s necessary)
9- it works
there you go.
Does this fix works with a phone not rooted?

Hi, I am guessing that no, it won't, since you need to access root files. I m not sure but seems to make sense to me.
Sorry! Also, this is what is preventing me to go straight away to Samsung i9000, since it isn't rooted yet...
I didn't root my Legend yet and if i do so and the fix doesn't work, I will be stuck with the phone with no app on it.
At least now I have all my apps and only Gmail and the Market don't work.
Any idea from where this issue come from and if it will resolve itself?
It's the end of the chinese holiday... so maybe some hope...
sorry i m naive in the field of this mobile tech world .
i reached to the hosts file through your solution but i can't change read only files to write
this rooting stuff looks too complicated for htc desire .
is there any other way , without roooting my desire
Sorry, mate. I don't own a desire, so I really cannot help with this issue.
True enough, it's only those two apps which will not work, but still a little annoying to have to go and look online for the apps and to download them manually.
Ask on the Desire forum about this
4- remember to touch the button "Mount R/W" to change the status of the text r/o into r/w right next to the button.
In my htc desire i can't get this "mount r/w" is its the functionality of root explorer . because i can't see any option to change from r/o to r/w
Hey, what can i do if my phone isn't rooted?
Same problem as everyone has, apps not installing and no gmail.
I dont get it, why it happened. Stupid Great firewall.
I have froyo 2.2. how can i root it just to change hosts files? dont want any custom roms tho. tnx

[Q] "Installation error - insufficient storage available" when installing skype

[Q] "Installation error - insufficient storage available" when installing skype
Hello Everybody,
this is my first post on this forum, i decided to start this thread cause i've been struggling with this problem for something like one month now, i really want to fix it, and this looks like the best place where to ask for help.
I'm having problems installing the Skype application on a Samsung Galaxy S, in Italy.
Initially i installed it from the market, the installation went fine, but i couldn't log in cause i was still running Android 2.1
After the upgrade to 2.2, Skype worked only the first time i tried to use it, then it started giving me a weird bug; basically each time i tried to make a call, it would say "already 2 ongoing calls".
I uninstalled it, and now each time i try to install it again i get the same error message "Installation error - insufficient storage available".
I have 5.22GB available on the internal SD card, and 573MB on the internal phone storage, and i have no external SD card.
I tried to contact the Skype support, sent them something like 10 different emails, but each time they came up with stupid answers and in the end they couldn't find a solution, so they said
"Please note that the message you are receiving is an operating system message and is not a Skype message.
We suggest that you contact Samsung to find out under which circumstances the operating system returns this message and what can be done to make an installation possible."
I tried to contact Samsung, but they didn't even reply.
I started a thread in the Android Market Help Forum and one guy suggested to use adb to delete the skype folder
So i rooted my device with z4root and also did the OneClickLagFix V2.2+
I managed to install the Android SDK and get the adb up and running, but when i try to delete the skype folder, this is what i get
# rm -R /data/com.skype.raider
rm -R /data/com.skype.raider
rm failed for /data/com.skype.raider, No such file or directory
#
basically there is no such folder..
at this point i really don't know what to do, and i hope that someone here is able and willing to help me.
I think i gave all the possibly needed information to help you fixing my problem, but if you need more please just ask.
Thanks a lot and by the way big up to this forum, so many useful informations in here!
Cheers
Pedro
update
i installed Titanium Backup
if i go to the Backup/Restore tab and scroll to the very botton, the last one is com.skype.raider, but it has a line on it and i'm not sure what that means (see attached image)
if i click it, all the options are grayed out, so i can't uninstall it..
if i click and hold, a different menu comes up, where most of the options are grayed out as well, i can only do Assign Labels, Explore and View in Market.
If i click Explore, it says:
com.skype.raider
files/
shared.lck 0B
defetto/
main.db-journal 8.0KB
any idea what's going on? thanks in advance
Never mind, i made it!
I bought an application from the market called Root Explorer, i couldnt find a free one doing the same, basically giving full access to my folder structure.
Anyway, i was able to find the com.skype.raider folder and delete it..
after that, next install went fine!
the correct path was /data/data/com.skype.raider
so if you have the same problem, you can use abd and delete the folder and you don't need to buy the above mentioned app..
p.s. how do i set this thread as answered?
Had a similar problem! I couldn't downlaod anything from the market. Unmounting the sdcard has fixed the issue. Thx http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Q] force close "com.diotek.diodict.p1.engeng" after 2.3.3

hi all
i have a galaxy tab and have upgraded to gingerbread 2.3.3 using kies and i am getting a frequent error message that an extensive google search can't explain
so i was wondering if someone in here might be able to help me out and please shed some light on it?
the situation is - every now and then, i get a force close popup for "com.diotek.diodict.p1.engeng"
a google search of this text brings up only 205 results! adding in "galaxy tab" makes it drop even more! so i am guessing it's not a common issue...
in fact, it seems the only posts are either to do with the "JME firmware" (which I dont think I have) or an app called Advanced Task Killer which I also don't have.
i have searched everywhere and not found anything to solve the problem. can anyone in here please help??
thanks!
james
i should also say that i have tried clearing the data for the English Dictionary application (that came with the tab) and also tried a Factory Reset (in privacy settings). the clear data didnt change anything but when i factory reset it, it took a few days for the issue to reappear.
thanks for the help
I had the same problem. I re-installed the 'English Dictionary' APK, which you can find in /preload/apk (you can get there in ES File Manager, don't need to be rooted) & haven't had a problem since
thanks, pokey
i tried your suggestion and so-far so-good! thanks a million!
james
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem, but can't find the preload folder. Can you give me a more detailed indication of where it is?
Thanks
8Ball
/preload/apk/Apps/DioDict_EngEng.apk
Install ES File Explorer, hit the far left button to go from /sdcard to / ... then you can navigate down ...
well by now it would normally have force closed, but since the reinstallation it hasnt - so big thanks to pokey! fixed!
I have the same problem but my preload/app did not have DioDict_EngEng.apk. I found a copy of the apk, copied it to my external sd card and try reinstalling it but it did not work. Can anyone tell me how I can get rid of that error message.
Also under preload/TOSDCARD, there is a folder named samsungdic but no apk in it too. Hope someone can help me, thank you
DioDict_EngEng stops working solved...
Hello everyone...
I just registered to this forum in order to provide the following information.
I have a Galaxy Tab P1000 with Gingerbread installed thorugh the Samsung Kies update. My tab is not rooted or anything. It started showing several times a day a message indicating: "(process com.diotek.diodict.p1.engeng) has stopped unexpectedly". If you try to uninstall the application using the Android Menu, you won't be able to do it, cause the Uninstall button is grayed.
If you want to see the error, try loading the English dictionary that should be in Applications in your tab.
So, i managed to solve the issue, and it's very simple. Just download an app called APPREMOVER, and remove the English Dictionary. Once removed, get into Samsung Applications and search for English Dictionary. Just download it and reinstall it.
Before this, i tried deleting the tab data, deleting a directory in the tab using the ES File Manager, also i installed the English Dictionary from an apk i found on mediafire (google for DioDict_EngEng.apk and it will be the first hit). NOTHING worked.
So i hope this helps Orcomma, raejade, and anyone else who has this problem.
Cya guys!

[SOLVED] GPS problems after GB update

Got GPS problem after the update with my LG o2x.
It cant seem to find any sats. Done everything thats been said on other threads nothing helps.
Any one with the same problem ?
Me 2. I get fix for about 2 sec. Then its stuck afterwards.
I don't even get a lock
Try clearing AGPS data with GPS Status
doesn't help. Can people please post their settings in hidden menu. All of them please
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19002334&postcount=41
some people said it work some said not work so try as your choice.
do you disable gps if you don't use it?
in official froyo and officeal gingerbread (v20l)
gps need to be enable on boot if you want good signal , otherwise you will always lose it
so try this
enable gps
reboot phone
turn on mobile data ( no wifi !)
open your gps app
I got my first fix in about 30 secs (cold start)
second on in 5 sec
Same problem as some of us had with previous leaked GB roms. Topogigi fixed the problem by tweaking service.jar file, that's the only thing I know. He talked about way of calling hardware that was wrong and explained that after a lock the GPS vanished..
You should search in Topogigi thread, there is a workaround in the beginning pages that could work (setting a new server in hidden menu).
That's why I'll stay with my ROM for now... It is perfectly working.
+1 from me, davjan. Seems to work for me. Thanks.
+1 here! Thanks for your trick davjan,works!

This worked for me!, however the srs level for each sat is not greater then 40 for some reason :S
I'm also experiencing this: as soon as the GPS gets a fix, the gps device itself seams to disappear. The Nav-app does get a valid location for one second and then the gps icon disappears.
This problem was not present in 10D and it does seem to happen when I activate the GPS later. If I boot with GPS enabled, the problem doesn't seem to occur.
Can this be fixed with the custom Jar file from Topogigi? Or is that for a different problem (no fix at all or something else - I do get a fix quickly but the GPS device seems to disappear then).
If so, how can I install it on my stock 20L? Some post talks about mounting a folder. How can I do that? I guess I need to root first and then use some kind of program on my pc or....?
I'm sorry if this has been covered before but I'm new to all this and there is so much information and a lot is hard to understand if you're new to this.

Let me gues..you deleted the services.jar and put the downloaded ZIP file in the framework folder without unpacking/renaming the file to services.jar ??
These are basic things to check but this could better be mentioned in the thread...

Actually no. I copy/paste the unziped jar file using esfile explorer. Got a message files were merged. Then bootloop.
Tried with the help of thansen to recover the file via clockwokmod but that didnt work aswell. So I reflashed the v20l kdz and rerooted.

Just simplify set /system/framework folder into RW mode then delete the old one and then copy the file that extract from zip file into /system/framework then change file permission to 644 (rw-r--r--) --> reboot OR
Here the method from origin
1- Just mount your "/system/framework" folder writeable.
2- Then overwrite the existing "services.jar" with the attached one.
3- Reboot your phone and your gps will get its fix in only some seconds.
