Hi was wondering if anyone else's Velocity has had problems with the GPS. I use my phone for recording my tracks ( used to use My Tracks ) when I go bush. I have tried various different ROMs and different apps but none seem to work. Currently running Touchwiz UX Nature [4.1.2] SAMSUNG [Element 115] [3.29.13] and have purchased Locus for my mapping and GPS.
Any help is appreciated.

Try the utility I found on Play Store called "Faster Fix". Helped my GPS problems a lot.
I'll give it a shot later. Thanks.

Hi all,
I have heard that the Nexus S works with Wiimote controller.apk and that users are succesfully using the wiimotes with their devices.
I am under the impression that both devices have the same bluetooth and wifi chips, does anyone know if any smart person has worked out a way to get the Wiimotes working with galaxy S, or ported the drivers etc?
I am using DArky V8 and BT mouse/keyboard are working well.

Bump. This would be nice to get working with n64oid.
subscribing and bumping! this will be the icing on the cake if we can get this resolved. And no CM7 is not the answer as tv out does not work, at least not at the moment.

I have tried tons of things to get this to work and even killed three rom load outs. simply replacing files wont do it.
as of now with a 2.2 rom you can see the wiimote and get all the way to where you are asked to use a passkey, but the passkey is not skippable. Also the apps that are in the market are no longer either supported or updated, but now that Galaxy S devices have the HID capabilities it would be nice if one of those dev's look at the device to get it to work.
Isn't it something to do with TouchWiz????
I think I read that somewhere
It works in cyanogenmod7.
Any progress

yes but CM7 is not stable yet.
I dont think any1 want to flash a new rom just to play some games with a wiimote and then flash another rom to use the "needed" parts of the phone, like the camera, 2g/3g etc.
To bad i would give a good donation if a dev would support this on the sgs
Any progress?

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?

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?
I am looking for a Rom that support recording audio calls. I remember looking at some roms a while back on here and it had a screen capture of the call screen and it showed a record button. I have tried searching but there are so many roms it's hard to find what I'm looking for, so I figured asking people that keep better on tabs on certain roms will already know which one supports it
That feature is not ROM dependent. There are apps to record calls, but since this varies in legality from state to state they are hard to find. In CA both parties must be informed of the recording or it is illegal. Did you look in the Themes and Apps forum?
I know you can use apps and such, but the closet thing I ever found was stuff like it would only record both sides of the conversation if you had speaker phone turned on. That's why I was looking for the rom, it appeared to be nicely integrated and didn't require speakerphone to be in use to record. I am also aware of the laws regarding call recording. I do computer repair and it'd be nice to record directions or symptons instead of trying to quickly jot them down.
It was a feature included in the phoenix rom. Not sure what other ones. I know that it only works on froyo roms.

It does. works great.
Some of the 2.2.1 based roms have this feature. Check the logs. There isnt one with it for 2.3.3+ yet so you will need to go with Froyo if you want it built into the rom
As stated previously, the Firefly 3.0 ROM (a fantastic Rom) had it. If you look in the forum you can find that particular file

Continuum v4 also had it. Its a great rom too. I used the call recording all the time, worked well. The apps that record calls don't work very well
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Yes, Continuum 4 does have it but if you go with continuum, go with version 4.1. It also has call recording but it has updated modem and some other great apps included. But you can't flash 4.1 from stock. I am on 4.1 and plan to stay on it for a while.
most of the 2.2 and the 2.2.1 roms have it...head over to darky roms website to check out the call recording apk...
Hey
I go for long runs except I go random ways through woods etc so I don't get bored. So I wonder if anybody knows an app that will be able to tell me how far I have travelled using GPS and if possible even map my route?
I've only ever found apps that work on pre-determind routes. Which are useless for me.
I don't mind if it's paid or free, providing it works.
Thanks

Friend think that the routes in most maps are for urban areas to suburban areas (forests, mountains, etc.) is not mapped. The only thing you can do with GPS is to trace the route that you follow on a white background, for that you can use for example the application of nike + and using the offline option of google maps trace the route record in you
try sport tracker

I am looking for some help with Voice Dialer for my Galaxy Mini. I have installed the custom rom "[28/01/2013][ROM][CM 10.1][V 5] TouchWiz 5" by A_U. Prior to this I was running the official CM7 for the Galaxy mini. The problem I have is that I can no longer voice dial with my Blue Ant S4, because Voice Search doesn't appear to be functional. I can see that it is installed, and the play store also says that it is installed along with Google Search. Google Search is definitely installed but I can't find any way to utilize Voice Search or Voice Dialer. I have also done extensive searching, via google as well as in the forums here and have not found a way to uninstall and re-install Voice Search. I figure that since it is integrated into the Rom that uninstalling could be problematic, but I am not savvy enough to know for sure. I also know that Voice Dialer from earlier versions of Android has been replaced with Google Now which also doesn't appear to be working on my device. Can anyone help me out with this? Is it possible that I have a bad install?

Well that wasn't very helpful. As I said in my OP, I searched extensively and couldn't find an answer to this issue, nor did anything seem related. There are so many vaiations of these Roms for so many different devices that narrowing the problem down for a novice user like me is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. After searching for an answer for a couple of days straight, I figured posting a question in the SGM forum might be the best way to get any sort of help. It is responses like the one above that drive people away from forums like this.

Thank you arjunraina7 -
Does this mean that any sort of offline voice recognition isn't supported? What I would like to find out is if there is any way that I am going to be able to use my BT device to make completely hands free calls as I could in CM 7. The Google Voice Dialer app was the app that made this possible in CM 7, but I can't find that app in the app store, and from the research I have done, it seems that Google has pulled that app and rolled it's capability into Google Now, which also doesn't seem to be functioning on my device.
Bottom line is, in Jelly Bean, which app does voice dialing. will it do that offline, is it possible that it may be incorporated into future versions of the rom, and if not, do you have any suggestions for good apps that can accomplish the same. Thanks in advance.
Try and see if there's voice search name in titanium backup then uninstall it. (it might be com.android.voice.search or something similar)
then proceed to install it from Google Playstore like a normal application.

So far, the ICS based voice search is armv7 only. we have armv6
