okay so I've had the phone for almost 4 months now and all of a sudden in the last month I have had serious data issues my internet will only work on some occassions and 99% of the time will say page is not available or i will receive a network error in marketplace or an app this is pissing me off because my smart phone is only becoming useful for what a normal phone is! the only things I have done is install Darky's ROM 9.2 im currently on eclair 2.1 because I tried resetting everything back to factory (getting rid of all flashings etc) and it has made no difference is there a fix or what's the problem? all help is appreciated THANKS!
My internet was working perfect on my phone and then all of a sudden it stopped working. I tried to take out the battery, sim card etc. and nothing worked so I eventually just Flashed a new rom and it got it working perfectly. The last couple days my internet was working and then later last night it just stopped working. Ive tried everything i can think of BUT flashing a new rom. Id like to not have to do that since i dont want to loose all my app data and have to go through the hassel of reloading everything.
Is there anything i can do to fix this?
Hey all,
So basically I just bought my first android phone couple of weeks ago. Its the Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 running 2.33 Firmware.
It is not yet rooted (have read some articles found in these forum found them really helpful)
but I'm not gonna root it for now I think cause this is my first android phone Im still a noob (used to apple)
Now my problem is I will be going abroad in 2 weeks and could really use the GPS.Tried donwloading GPS Status but i never actually got a lock on the satelites (or it took too long that I gave up) I also tried the fix but the code (but when dialing *#*#1472365#*#* nothing happened lol)
I also downloaded loads of GPS software such as AndNav2,Wisepilot,Navigon,CoPilot,Sycig but 90% of those gave me an error when I try them such as this software cannot be started on your device.
Is there any good GPS software/app which does not require an internet connection (pls not offline maps but like turn by turn app or similar.)
Thanks a lot.
Personally i use Copilot live 8
maybe you could flash the phone to a clean stock ROM and then try again ??
Good Luck!!
So I finally managed to fix it and get a fix on the satellites
Now my last problem is, I need a good turn by turn app that does not use internet (except maybe for downloading maps first time etc.)
Thanks.
Hmm anyone?
I'm using Navigon. You need an internet connection to download the maps. Following that, there is an option to turn off internet connection. Go to Menu>Settings - second option from the top.
in my personal experience... you need to learn how to root, flash firmware, etc...
i'm also a noob and used to apple devices..
before my galaxy s get great firmware (thx xda-dev), i miss my iphone so much...
but after flashed with great firmware, everything working great, nice apps.. and so on,
also a great benefit for me, i know how to do those things... and i can say bye2 for my apple devices now.. even one great iphone 5 wont help me back to apple
just PM me if you need anyhelp
hope you enjoy your sgs as much as i do...

All I can do is choose force close.
Hello to all.
A few weeks ago, I installed trinity custom ROM on my Incredible S.
I have S-OFF. I felt the ROM to be a bit slow and decided to install a new one.
Yesterday, I installed Android Revolution HD 2.1.2. Initially, the network connection was not at all there. So I installed recommended radio. And the network came back and everything was working fine.
Then, I tried to apply a mod for CRT animation. After that patch, I've lost my network again.
I tried to flash the device so many times that I forgot the count.
I tried 3 radios from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129014&highlight=radio and none works.
I installed a lot other ROMs and they all faced the same problem of network.
Currently, I tried ICS for INCS beta 1 and that too shows no network error.
The SIM is working fine another phone of mine.
I'm good at programming. So, can grasp technical details.
Please help.
Thank you.
OKAY.
I just realized that I was working with Back cover open. Upon closing the back cover, the problem got solved.
I spent a whole night of mine without sleeping to solve this and after 9-10 hours I came to know THIS. THIS? Sigh.
Lesson learned XD
I never had any problems with my T-Mobile Note 4 until I upgraded to Lollipop and GPS stopped working- it never locks position and keeps searching for hours with no result. I tried flashing with Odin and Kies. I tried flashing with Sim and SD cards removed. I tried all the recommended GPS fixes. I tried all the available Lollipop custom ROMs and kernels- all to no avail. Once I flash NK4, I have absolutely no GPS issues, on stock or on custom ROMs. I called T-Mobile and Samsung and was told they never heard of this problem- they recommended sending the phone for service. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you guys have.

Try using other Maps. Even apps that locate GPS satellites...sometimes those apps knock sense into the GPS.
I have noticed something similar. I use a golf GPS rangefinder app and now from time to time the GPS freezes for a couple minutes and doesn't update. Same with Google maps. Then it does. Very annoying. Never happened with stock kk. I'm using Dynamic Pop 6.0. Any suggestions? Totally clean install - I wiped everything several times including internal sdcard.

Same issue here. It's really frustrating when you're driving around a new city and Google Maps is bouncing all over the place or just staying in the same place for several minutes even though you're driving. Would really love a fix.
