[Q] GPS not working on Samsung Galaxy S - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am using CM 10.1.2 galaxysmtd on Samsung Galaxy S but GPS is not working in India. If it finds sats in half an hour then it does not obtain any lock.
Please help.
Also I saw that secgps.conf is missing in this latest build. Is it needed and at what path?
What should be the entries in gps.conf and secgps.conf
Please help.
Thanks,
Devom

i read that it's a hardware problem , try using this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fastergps&hl=fr

AngryGPS
Try using AngryGPS.

There are also manual hardware fixes that may work if you want to attempt them. AngryGPS works well though. RemICS-JB and Mackay both have it. Extract the apk, push into /system/app, set permissions rw-r-r, reboot.

[Q] Confusion over market...

I was running Cognition for a while, and found in market a "quickoffice for captivate". Installed it, used it, worked great.
Re-flashed to Continuum, which is an I9000 based ROM, and now a search for quickoffice for captivate gives me nothing.
Is there some setting in the market based on hardware ID or somethign that's blocking me finding this stuff? If so, what are my options? Some app that enables different markets, or changes some string somewhere for identifying the type of phone? Or what?
Thanks for any tips.
Download galaxy s tools and rub the market fix. (it blocks apps that are not "compatible" with your phone but the fix lets you see all ) hope this helps

Or you could go to the Cognition zip at system/app and copy the quickoffice.apk to your new rom.
or just use this apk
I tried the SGS tools market fix. Didn't change anything. I still can't find it. I'll try the apk. I just was hoping Ii wasn't missing out on other good stuff because of market limitations.

[Q] Help me to solve my galaxy tab P1000 defalt browser problem

Hi to all members , please help me to solve my galaxy tab defalt browser when i lunch the
the apps its not working and tab vibrates and the app is closed. I am really worried about this problem plz he me about this how i can fixed this problem
Hi. It would probably help if you told us your firmware version & background information (has it ever worked... what were you doing when it stopped working?).
This sometimes happens to me (about one time in 20).
Try disabling plug-ins & java script. Then try restore to defaults. If that fails, it sounds like a file could be missing or corrupt but I'm only guessing.
If no other problems, I wouldn't worry about it. How about other browsers... are they ok?

CM7 not installing system apps

Hi there. I recently installed the ROM miracle v4 (a CM7 mod) on my galaxy ace, the install went fine and everything seemed to be working perfectly. It's a bare bones ROM, so it doesn't have all the usual system apps I need in it. This is where my problem starts. I downloaded the package of system apps from the mod thread, but when I tried installing them, it says they were not installed. All other apks and apps from Google Play install just fine. Any help is appreciated, I'm stumped.
Miracle v4 thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583871
Please the apps in /system/app
Change app permissions to rw-r--r--
Change ownership to both root (0)
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
I'm sorry I don't understand how to do this exactly could you explain a little more clearly please?
Edit: Nevermind I figured it out

Firstly you need a file manager that can access your root folder (/) , do you have one ?

How to get standard Samsung video app installed?

Hi, I wondered if there was any way for me to get the standard Samsung video player app installed on my 3110 running [ROM][Hybrid][JB:CM10] Paranoid Android 2.51+ - Legacy?
I extracted SecTabletVideoPlayer.APK from a Samsung 4.1.1 rom and tried to install but it stopped part way through with a generic not installed message?
Thanks
Dom
You could try to copy that APK to /system/app/ and set its permission to rw_,r__,r__. Then reboot your tab. I haven't tried to install that myself, but it might work.

Thanks guys, will give the perms a try
It won't work... It needs the TouchWiz framework and other files, that don't exist in non-TouchWiz roms. I've also wanted that and tried, but no go. Not the video player, the music player, the calendar, the S-Planner, nothing done by Samsung works.
