In the past we were able to get to our GPS settings by opening dialer and dialing the following number. This will not call anyone - it is a code shortcut to the settings:
*#*#1472365#*#*
However, under Froyo 2.2 rooted with SU access, I am unable to get to LBSTESTMODE
I am having issues with my GPS not locking, it started after I rooted the Froyo. I was informed rooting is not what caused the problem in another thread....so been googling to fix the issue and ran into the old code above
Please advice
Regards
There is an app in the market called lbstestmode that works. The dial pad # to enter lbstestmode disappeared in jh7 and was still missing in ji6.
When I go to the market, the app is unavailable to me. I then went to the apps website and tried to get it to download using the samsung captivate browser but it kicked me back to same thing on the Apps Market
So, I am thinking is it possible somewhere in process of my upgrading and rooting the phone got locked accidently since I am new to the whole process of understanding development? (I have superuser access and ability to eliminate apps using titanium back up so its more of an elimination of issues question)

If you mean LbsTestModeLaunch, this was actually removed per Samsung's request.
As an alternative, you can download "Any Cut" from the Market, then create an activity shortcut for LbsTestMode.

Thank You for your response
I was able to download the app. Would you please share or link how to create " a activity shortcut" for LbsTest Mode?
I am new to the whole process and dont want to create incidental problems for myself

There seems to be 2 "Any Cut" apps - to be clear, the one I'm using is by "Jeff Hamilton."
In Any Cut, select New Shortcut, then Activity. It may take a while to load... Scroll and find LbsTestMode, then tap OK. You should now have a shortcut in your home screen.

Thank you for your response. You have lit a path to enlightment for me ;-)
I found and created it. I will post my ability to resolve my GPS issue in next 24 hrs as I am now few beers down......with Oakland Raiders having a close game with San Diego Chargers.....
Regards,
So I was able to access the LbsTestMode based on instruction given and was able to fo through the following steps of "old instructions" that I was able to google......pasted below
•Step 1 -- Open menu > settings > Location & Security. Uncheck the box next to "Use Wireless Networks"
•Step 2 --follow the procedure in the "advice posted in comments above"
•Step 3 -- In the LBSTestMode menu, press “Application Settings” and change “Operation Mode” to “MS Based.”
•Step 4 -- In the LBSTestMode menu, find “SUPL/CP Settings” and change the SERVER & PORT to supl.google.com and port 7276 (DO NOT use www. in front of supl !)
•Step 5 -- Reboot your phone.
•Step 6 -- Open menu > settings > Location & Security. Check the box next to "Use Wireless Networks"
After follwing the steps above still no go? I used an app called GPS test to verify my location
Please advice
Regards,
Turn off SUPL Secure Socket as well. I am using AGPS Mode Control Plane. I've used both, this is where I've set it of late. Also, run the Get Position Test and see if it can lock on a position. Try to do this where you'll get a strong signal from many satellites (i.e., outside). Then leave LbsTestMode running, hit Home and open Maps. See if it can find your location. It should locate you assuming you got a good lock in LBSTestMode.
I've been openingLBSTestMode first and I leave it running in the background and then open Navigation. I haven't yet determined whether this has an actual benefit, is just a habit I don't want to break, or my own superstition, but that's what I do. There was discussion that some of the LbsTestMode settings don't persist after closing LbsTestMode, so this is one way to make sure the settings remain active.
The code in froyo is *#*#3214789650#*#*
this code doesn't seem to be disseminated too widely on the forums, spread the word
Thanks you all who responded on my issue. My issue has now been resolved
I was able to update my location and GPS is working fine
Regards

Hey thanks a lot this really worked well for me. I had just forced the update using mini Kies and still no luck with accurate GPS location but after I followed the steps outlined in lbstestmodelaunch and what you added I found my location was accurate to within a few meters.
The code in froyo is *#*#3214789650#*#*

Spread the word, my GPS with your settings is accurate from 50 meters.. and it locks in 5 secs
The code in froyo is *#*#3214789650#*#*

FWIW - the above didn't work in my 2.2'd Galaxy S, nor did the older code. I eventually got the Any Cut app (great!) and followed the instructions.
For the last 2 weeks, since the 2.2 update, I was basically unable to get any GPS lock. I did manage once - and it took 15 minutes, with 8 to 10 satellites available.
Now, with 2 or 3, I'm getting a lock in a few seconds.
If the main problem is that the web location setting for info is just flat-out wrong, why doesn't T-Mob just issue a fix for that? It seems very strange to me that this would continue to be an issue months after the rollout began.
Umm, there is SGS Tools in the Themes &Apps section that will allow access to it.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
After this change, Google Maps = total crash???
So I did the change, and thought things were good. But about 3 out of 4 times, when trying to start Google Maps, it freezes, then the screen goes completely black, and there is a vibration-buzz, a pause, and two more buzzes. The phone appears totally dead. Only pulling the battery wakes it up.
To be clear, I changed the URL and port, and disabled the secure socket mode, as described in this thread. There was also and update of google maps received, which claims to have installed successfully.
So now GPS is great, but the main app I use it with is defunct.
LBSTESTMODE Not On Phone!
Before you say I know this is Samsung Captivate but I have no where else to post this.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Apollo i5801 on Orange UK and I do not seem to have the LBSTESTMODE menu when I create a activity via anycut or ADW launcher. I type in the LBSTESTMODE number on the dialler and nothing comes up, I did find however I had something called "Service mode" when I tried to launch LBSTESTMODE however this application crashed and said "android.something.something has crashed"
Please help me my I would really like to fix my GPS!
Info:
Carrier: Orange UK
Device: Samsung Galaxy Apollo i5801
Operating System: Android 2.2 Froyo
Baseband Version: I5801BVJP1
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build Number: FROYO.BVJPE
Hope That Helps!
1. Download and install "ShareGPS" from market on your phone.
once the app is installed
make sure in the App's setting, check "Use bluetooth" and "Create NMEA"
2. Download and install "Bluetooth GPS provider" from market on your tablet.
once the app is installed
make sure you have these settings:
in the app preferences
check "Force"
check "Raw HDOP"
GPS type is set to "MTK"
Update rate is set to "10Hz"
SBAS is Enable
Next
on your phone, open sharegps, then bring up the menu, click make discoverable once.
then go to your tablet, bring up the bluetooth gps provider app,
go in to the preference, click chose GPS provider, do a scan, you should see your phone come up.
click on it.
you are all set.
Now setup the bluetooth gps provider widget on one of your home screens.
every time before your run any navigation apps on the tablet just make sure you go back to your phone,
bring up shareGPS,
bring up Menu and click Make discoverable.
then go to your tablet, and click once on the bluetooth gps widget.
if the widget turns "green", you have working gps on your tablet.
if the widget turns "red", meaning that your devices aren't pair correctly, just re-scan/re-pair your devices.
*** Also make sure you have "Allow mock locations" checked as well on your tablet. And that's in menu, setting, application, development.
Enjoy

Found an issue with share gps, while it works fine on any 2.2 ROM on your phone, but the nmea output is way off in certain area on 2.3 based ROMs. After a little bit of researching, I found that BlueNMEA works very well.
You can find it in market, disregard the rating, the app is very easy to use and just may take a couple of tries to pair both devices.
So use blueNMEA instead of shareGPS on your phone..
Also fo for those who are not able to find these apps, here is how I did it..
Downloaded all apps from market on phone.
Use rootexplorer and look in /data/app
Find those apps, copy and paste onto your sd card.
Then transfer over to the tablet.
Install.
I cannot get my market to find "bluetooth GPS provider" even after preforming the market fix several times. Can you post the apk?

Same here I only come up with network info II. But I see it in the market on my phone
I found it here http://www.filecrop.com/54831309/index.html
Working good for me on Vegan 5
thanks inbound
Edited for spelling, for some reason I was giving the western keyboard a second chance.
there is also tetheredGPS which started for the nook - has both client and server widgets included.
Works pretty well, over specific wifi port, and doesnt require both wifi and bluetooth to be on. power saver!
Hi All!
I'm not new to Android at all, but this issue with Moto Blur + 2.x (green Style) and 3.x (Black/Media Shopping Style) is really kicking my A$%
Before I get into the particulars, I will list what the basic problem is:
1. I cannot see ANY app history, even thought in full html android.market.com (on a PC, for example) I have 3+ years of history ~15 pages of apps, and easily 20 paid apps, which have always been really good about showing up across devices and years, android builds, etc..
2. In old Green Market, selecting Menu/My Apps is greyed out, and when I hit the option, it seems to poll the Market for about 5 seconds then comes back with a Server Error: Retry/Cancel.
3. In New BLACK market, I hit My Apps (not greyed out), and I get the "Your Games and Appso will appear Here" message, along with the option to switch to my backup google account, or to do a manual search for games and apps.
4. What I've tried to resolve the issue:
-- Factory Erase
-- Manual erase all partitions
-- SBF back to earlier Blur gingerbreads
-- Swtiched to Liberty ROM 2.0
-- Formatted my sdcard and emmc many, many times
5. What "solves" the problem is--
-- switching to my backup Google Account (but it has very few apps in history)
-- Installing CM7 or CM9
-- Using any other device other than the XT862
In logcat or ddms, I see this intent/message come up every time I try to check Apps history with my primary account:
Code:
12-24 20:19:59.284: E/Finsky(2470): [1] AssetList.<init>: Received a null AssetsResponseProto or asset list.
Note that all my grabs are from Market 3.3.x.
The screen I get in new Market, as well as a logcat from around the time I select My Apps on screen, are attached below. Any help would be greatly appreciated . . . I doubt I'm the only one who has this issue?
[Q] "package loader" doesn't allow "Install" option after update to 904
First of all, I've searched the forums and looked at the various topics it shows when I typed in the title for this post - definitely not a nube, I've flashed, bricked, unbricked, bricked, unbricked my phone 3 or 4 times, but this one has me stumped! Bare with me, I'm Danish, but I speak pretty good English... Mods - if this isn't where it should be, please publicly admonish me and put it where it should go.
Curious one: after I flashed my phone to 904, I now can't update anything "sideloaded" from Amazon or Slide-Me because the "package loader" (APK installer) refuses to let the "Install" button work. "Cancel" works just fine, of course.
(and yes, I know - now there's a 905 out there - but first things first, I've tried even after installing a 'virgin' 902 using Moto-Fastboot, but I got an assert failure on MTD:Boot)
I re-rooted my phone after flashing using "Motofail", which gave me access to all my backups and even though my ClockwordMod backup said the MD5 has didn't match I used Titanium Backup to try to extract files from it - and found that the MD5 doesn't match because there is no MD5 file there at all.
I was able to use the various options in Titanium Backup to replace all my apps, but at this point every time I try to install anything that's not from Google's Play Store I get to the point where the installer asks be to "Install" or "Cancel" and the install button appears available (not greyed out), but it doesn't work.
Has anybody else seen this? Can you tell me how you get around it, or what I need to do to fix it (other than trying to flash 905)??
One more thing: this new "Screen locked" button keeps showing up on my screen that was never there before - and it doesn't always ask me to swipe my pattern if that button is there. I've got Launcher Pro installed, JuiceDefender Ultimate and an alternative swipe screen, which I've already check, double-checked and triple-checked the configuration files for what might be causing the "Screen Locked" button to appear.
Update: the "No Install button working" problem just went away after two days - I didn't do a thing (that I know about). Weird - I've had this happen once before. Anyone have a guess as to the security lock bypass where it won't require my pattern to unlock, just a tap on the "Click to unlock" button? I have my security set to require a password any time the screen is turned off, so - that's my first guess, but setting it to "One minute" (same as the screen timer) does nothing, so I changed it back. I really do NOT like the idea of it just letting anyone pick it up and bypass my security lock! I know most people prefer it the other way (stay unlocked for a certain period of time without requiring you to keep putting you lock code/pattern in), but if I turn the screen off, I want it to prompt me for my pattern lock every time.
Found my own answer...
OK, not to the one about why "Package Installer" refused to work for a few days, but why I'm not getting the screen lock every time I turn my screen off any more:
It's "JuiceDefender Ultimate" - you need to set 's' ("Screen off") = 'l' ("Lock") time in the sliders under the "Timeout" settings on the Controls tab, and have your main settings set to lock on "screen off" instead of timed. The 'h' ("Home") setting in that same slider seems to have no effect on my device - anybody else observe differently? One things that always disappears when you flash is JuiceDefender's settings, even if you backup and later restore from /SDCARD or /SDCARD-EXT partitions. I don't know why - I suppose the subject for another question at some time in the future.
By the way, running the latest flash-only on device overclock to 1.2GHz (well, you do have to have Rummy's Toolbox so you can drop to Terminal mode and futz with the file) is the BOMB!!! Bio-***** is screaming along at 1.2GHz whenever I need the power. I'm in like (again)...
For the curious - it's right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594804
