Gps help in helly bean rom - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there,
I'm using helly bean rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783064.
My GPS barely works and I wanna fix it.
Actually, my gps worked great only with this ICS rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611868.
Can someone help me to get my gps work fine with the helly bean rom?
By the way I'm from Israel.

that is because most of the GPS fixes you will find here are for North America, I would suggest flashing this.

Tnx
Hey,
Thank U!
I couldn't flash the zip so I put the gps.conf file to the etc folder.
Now it works but the accuracy is about 88 feet.
How can I improve the accuracy?

AngryGPS is the "system" app that I've used in the past to tweak gps settings. It isn't the easiest thing to get installed because you have to copy it into the system/apps/ folder and change permissions. After that though it'll show up in your app drawer and you can go in and change settings. There are some threads that discuss the best config setup but again it may be targeted towards North America.
Also I don't know what kind of working options are available for your area but in some cases your gps accuracy can be incresed by changing out modems. I flashed a different modem once and I couldn't get sat. lock at all and then switched it up again and got 8-10 locks in less than 10 seconds.

Hi,
I hope, it's the same Version I'm trying actually, so here's my feedback:
TOPA100, Gingerbread Release GBX0A dated 12/02, no overclocking
1st impression: running very fast and very stable, no problems with basic functions
problems after detailed check:
1) GSM/3G signal reception is weak in comparison to FRX04 (cannot receive a 3G sig at a place where I usually have one under FRX04 or WiMo)
2) GPS not working
positive things to mention:
1) faster than FRX04
2) wakeup is working stable
3) switching on/off WiFi (have to activate it in WiMo first, of course) works stable even after 12-14 hours
4) Camera not working, but the app doesn't crash in photo mode
5) with a for me "normal" kind of usage (longer standby periods, checking SMS/MMS around every hour, receiving email every 30 minutes, some WiFi action, testing some apps, one or two calls) I have a battery duration time of somewhere between 18 and 24 hours
Conclusion for the devs: why not switching over to Gingerbread?
Cheers
Zap
Good system

I have the same comments.
I installed FLash 10.1 . It doesn't crash the browser like in froyo. but nothing displays.
The sensor doesn't work so most games and the landscape mode won't work.

SD card is still working for me
Have you got the latest rootfts?
Double checked and updated kernel and rootfs, sdcard mounts but settings show free space and total as unavailable and various apps say there's no sdcard whereas some find it without a problem.

I'm pretty sure the problem is that we're running it off the SD card, so it recognizes that as the phone and then can't find another source, as there isn't one.
Some apps work for me and some don't

Do you want to get quick GPS lock in CM7

Yes, many people are still complain the GPS can't lock(maybe can see satellites) or very slow.
After i saw KarlHegbloom's suggestion to use AngryGPS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15692063&postcount=6283
But in the beginning i don't know how to let it run, so study and study.....
finally i got it
step1: Download gpsd from trigger build12 in here (gpsd in cm7 or build13 are not stable, it hard to lock, i don't why,maybe birgertime can tell what's the differents)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15696219&postcount=6289
step2:
update 0718 :
s0niqu3 made install apk for angrygps, it's very easy way than mine, you can try it,and directly to step4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15721652&postcount=13
manual way(mine): download Angrygps.apk in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15695743&postcount=6288
Use root explore to replace gpsd in system\vendor\bin\
and put angrygps.apk in system\app and change permission
my setting (read check all, write only check first, execute no check), but someone say he need to check all. anyway you can try both.
Reboot, then angrygps, not angrybird is running.
if you are lucky, your gps become fantastic now.
if not. you should long click desktop(need ADW launch)
step3:Create custom shorcut-> chose your application -> Activities -> AngryGPS -> .AngryGPS
After this you will get a angrygps shortcut in desktop.
step4:
Run it and to config as your wish.
tip: I change setting-general setting-operation mode from standalone to msbased. and now i can lock in twenty seconds.
Please test GPS outdoor
BTW, in CM7 you can turn off gps and turn on, it's all ok.
Thanks atinm&birgertime&KarlHegbloom
Do you think having a custom kernel (Glitch's Kernel to be exact) changes anything?.
Im not getting locks
i didn't try this kernel. but if you can see satellites, then it should be ok

After rebooted, it doesnt see any am birds. Rebooted a couple more times, still not working. Will tweak the Angry GPS.

For Launcher Pro Users, you can add the shortcut to angrygps with:
long press home screen --> Shortcuts --> Activities --> AngryGps (pick the first one)
Also, when I first did this gps would not start for me. Nothing happened, no gps icon. I needed to change the permissions on gpsd to include execute and the reboot. Looking good now.
Also I am getting fast locks leaving it in standalone mode.

Hey everyone,
So first, this mod seems to work quite well on my phone, admittedly I'm in shock at having locks in just a minute or so, and accuracy under ~10meters. I'll withold final judgment until I've used it for a couple of days.
In the meantime though, here's a modified version of AngryGPS.apk that will show up in your launcher drawer without the need of bettercut/adw/launcherpro/etc.
Its been re-signed by me, so the signature won't match the original version posted, so you must remove the original and clear all its data first.
If you installed it normally, just uninstall through manage applications, else if you pushed the app to /system/app then you need to do:
adb shell
su
cd /system/app
rm -r AngryGPS.apk
cd /
cd /data/data
rm -r com.android.angryGps
Anyway, thanks for the fix, and enjoy.
Cheers,
Whoa...fast.

Strangest thing.... Was on CNA, decided to try ICSSGS, didn't like it as well so flashed back and calendar was there. I assume because I did not wipe on the flash back to CNA?
FWIW, I have tried this, ICSSGS, and CM9. CNA is my favorite. I have had almost no issues. 1 app won't run, but it is from my small, local bank.

That issue is fixed on ICSSGS and maybe others, I'm not certain if it involves some adjustments ROM-side, or it should be fixed by using latest gapps. I previously encountered the issue but haven't seen it in quite some time.
The alternative would be buying them in the browser/pc.
How To Print Screen

Hi guys,
I'm interested in trying this ROM out.
I'm coming from Serendipity VII, which if I understand correctly is I9000 based. Just to make sure I understand what I'm doing, I should just be able to reboot to recovery, and install the CNA ROM from the zip file, correct? Any other steps necessary?
Thanks

I got it installed (with the Glitch kernel - running at 1.4Ghz so far), and I'm very impressed
The only issue I haven't yet been able to figure out is the external SD card. It seems that it now gets mounted under /mnt/emmc/ ? For whatever reason, the music player can't find the media that I have on the external SD card. Any ideas? I can find it using ES File Explorer and play the files individually.
Privacy
There has been an ever-increasing number of apps which want access to private information (like call logs, location, and contact information) without needing it to run the application. I'm talking about games and not apps which require such information like Anti-virus and such. Will we ever have a permission manager a la MIUI on this ROM? I understand that many developers work in concert, so I am wondering why most ROM's are not created with safeguards in place to protect private information. I am aware that I am not in the MIUI Q&A section, but I feel this is an issue that all ROM's should consider in order to protect private information. I know that I don't have to install apps which ask for this information if I don't want to give up my information, but it seems that every app nowadays asks for these permissions and it would be a shame to continue as if there were nothing wrong with compromising private information to play a game.
Thanks in advance.
I was one if the unlucky ones that had no 3g data after flashing this rom, flashed glitch, moved apn-conf.XML to the /system/etc/ directory overwriting the old file.
This did not bring data back. I decided to look at the apn list and noticed that it was blank. Clicked the menu button, then selected reset to defaults. Ten minutes later I had data.
Lock Screen
Has the lock screen been updated to allow for custom applications where it shows the icon of the custom application instead of that alien looking character? This was one of the reasons I moved away from this ROM and would love to come back. I'm not a fan of having to try to remember which application ties to which alien character.

Not yet. It still shows the animated android.
Nostalgia shows the custom icons on the ICS lock screen. (haven't flashed any other ICS roms yet.)
Update 3/24:
All aosp roms do not show custom icons.
All aokp based roms do show custom icons.
aosp also seems a little laggier than aokp. Playing angry birds space @ 1.3 ghz resulted in click and audio lag. (Gummy charged was my aosp test platform at that time).
Docs runs blazing fast at same speed with no click lag. Aokp m28 clocked at 800 MHz / glitch runs smooth. I think this is because of the scrolling cache which I force disabled in from control.
Thanks for your work bringing ics to captivate.
Any way to disable the proximity sensor in this rom? The thing is the cappy i purchased came with that sensor dead.. This makes the phone freeze while making calls for example.. I'm using right now MIUI 2.3.2 Gingerbread 2.3.7 and I can disable it with almost no effort at all..

Sorry but I don't really see how the rotation would be related to the proximity sensor functionalities. I could try that, but I would be more than grateful if you could explain me a little further the relationship between those two.. Anyways I have to download the rom, nandroid backup, and flash everything to test it out.

you are correct, the proximity sensor does not control rotation. a bit a of a flub on my part sorry.
here are some things I tried with my AOKP rom (don't think the AOSP - CNA is too much different?)
1) There is no setting in the call menu for the proximity sensor.
2) However if you cover your sensor (which is broken anyways right?) a dab of black nail polish, to block all the light from it. I covered my sensor with my thumb and the screen stayed on. However if the problem is deeper within your hardware (possibly the control IC for the sensor), it will still lock up when it tries to access the current state of the sensor.
3) It's possible from what I've found that your sensor is okay, and that there is an internal blockage to the sensor cover. (though, my phone didn't lock up with the sensor covered?). Try canned air/ Vacuum to clear the blockage?
4) There are a several application options as none of the ICS roms I've used appear to have that MIUI option.

Until a stable version of CM comes out I prefer to stick with the Zeus. My first impression was very good. I was using version # 39 and I stopped using when not mounted USB, then tried it and loved Zeus ROM. Very stable and fast. I do not remember trying to use GPS with the CM. But since I bought my unit had a problem with the GPS.
Do this work for GPS enabled only or we need to use wifi/3G service?
Using the two service gives my location for 3-5 seconds but of course that depends on your 3G speed.
as u can see in attached pic that i have not connected to wifi or 2g/3g. the thing is u just need to download gps data once in a day using gps status & toolbox(it automatically download btw)
EDIT:
Bought new optimus black yesterday for dad and its gps is working awesome in default settings i.e without putting gps.conf file or modification in hidden menu. so i took my old OB to LG customer care, so they told me that they have changed the GPS hardware in new devices manufactured after November 2011. But its not possible to make those changes in old OB :-(

This is for all, i did lots of gps study in last few days. And i came to conclusion that gps.conf file is imp for fast fixing if satalites, but as we know it provides Assisted gps data to sensors but this data changes every 24hrs as our earth rotates, so i did different expiriments with old and new Optimus black and p500 and sony neo V so i came to conclusion that gps hardware is also very important in fixing satalites but before using gps if we use gps status and toolbox app and download Assisted Gps data(hardly10kb) once in a day then gps fix takes very less time, but even though u dont download it, take ur mob under clear sky it will get fix in 2to3mins.
But dont use lots of gps tweaks as it will mess ur gps behavior.
Dont change gps_brcm_cobf.xml file as its related to hidden menu gps tests it doesnt impact on gps improvement so keep lg provided default. In froyo it was big bcos in froyo the hidden menu gps test was different.

SGS dpi changeing

Hy guys...
So, i changed my dpi from 240 to 160 but now i discovered some ugly scaling ...for example when i set the alaram is just a little rectangle window.So there is no Done button for me, lucky me to know about it.So there should be any settings for scaling?
I use CM10 .
Sorry for my bad english...and thanks for further answers!
I don't think so.....try paranoid rom

i've tryed almost everything from this forum(i have to say that i skiped parandroid) ,but cm 10 is the single one where i managed to do something:
a working gps,good market,no clock freeze...but when i wake up there it is...freeze.
so i think i will give it a try, but i will wait for some other answers.
thanks
I flashed my phone with paranoidandroid now, dpi problem is solved(nice think with that bottom status bar), after some time i managed to ge market fixed, and now i think gps is working, but for a real answer about gps i'm gonna test it outside for better signal.
About market now, i want to say that any of solution that i found on internet don't work me but i managed some how by doing this:
if you open market and it stuck at loading turn off wireless, then go and activate data, open again market and thinks should be ok.Now you can close data and open wi-fi again and problem should be solved.Anyway thanks for suggestion dude!!:good:
GPS still don't work...don't know what to do next.
Any help will be good.
Thanks
