I got the normal S i9000 (quite confused with all those different ones lol)
I tryed the fix posted on the vibrant page, but it only made mine worse. Keep in mind it actually was decent before, google nav worked ok, but sometimes jumped around.
Also didnt get more aqurate then 80 feet in the test app.
Now, i tryed following this guide isntead:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/128026-everyone-who-having-gps-problems.html
Now i get down to 16 feet, and locks on quick. It also seems ALOT more stable on the signal.
interesting skyhook is off? on that setup, wow
With skyhook on, it is very fast at my mobile..
Where do you come from? Maybe it has sth todo with the country where you live..
I am in Austria..
This DOESN'T have skyhook turned off. Why don't people read a bit more carefully instead of starting a new thread for no reason?
The only thing this guy does it turn the supl settings to autoconfig, and also have skyhook on.
The settings he lists are the default settings, that's why you see skyhook off.
This method has been posted many times before, and for most people it does nothing.
Yep skyhook is on. Well just wanted to post it

Followed the steps provided in the first post.
No thorough testing yet. I just went outside my house and GPS works almost instantly. I used to get 8 satellites in view but now I have 11. I'm surprised.
I'll go for a drive tomorrow.

svetius: "jump to your device" -- shouldn't this go above the dropdown so no rollover
Hey I cannot quarrel with the man who brought Youtube embeds within 48 hours or initial request... (btw, am I the only one using it? ... wait, let me answer that: yes. But I like it, so thank you !)
That pair of "quick navigation to your phone" tools at top right has been really great. It's just that enroute to using the text box to type in "desire" I almost always rollover the dropdown which causes an obstruction to my desired objective.
You probably wrestled with this and have reasons for the way you did it. But just in the event you were really really smashed that night and really had no rationale whatsoever and just flipped a coin, are you open to trying to flip the two...
Another unsolicited usability comment in the spirit of improvement. The xda favicon is such a welcome change from the boring vBulletin v, but I find it hard to read.
Did you ever come across how they went about remaking the YouTube favicon to improve its readability? It sounded very esoteric by god it did the job... A reader submitted it -- and YouTube took her up on it, and adopted it:

About the drop down...in the forum redesign we're working on, you must click the drop down to get it to open.
About the fav icon...feel free to make one that is better than the current. All of us are quite pleased by the new icon. It's not perfect, but making a legible 16x16 graphic is very difficult.
Hello all,
This is my last shout for help before I bite the bullet and call T-Mobile to report a hardware fault! Hope it doesn't come to that!
I have been having issues with my Wifi for the last week. I normally use the MIUI Rom succesfully and have no issues. However on one of the latest times I turned my phone on I attepted to switch WiFi on and my phone started boot looping infinitely. This would only stop when i put the phone into Aircraft Mode (i.e. disabling all radios). The MAC Address on the wifi module shows as "Unavalable" .
At first I thought this was a MIUI issue and have spent a lot of time in the IRC over there discussing it with the devs. They have never had someone have so much bother!
This afternoon I decided to reset my phone back to an almost factory state with Root and followed the instructions over at the CM7 wiki to do that.
I have now got an Android 2.2 based sense ROM on the phone. I started the Wifi, it took ages to turn on then tried to scan before a message appared ("Unable to Scan for Networks") twice and the WiFi switched off.
My current setup is this:

}
and
I have also created a video showing the symptoms:

And finally I have taken a logcat of the phone (cleared just before I tried the wife and exported just after it): logcat on Pastebin
I hope that someone might just be able to help me here!!!
Thanks
Mark
I think you should take your phone to repair centre.
Have you tried re-flashing a radio?

Hi, my phone has been periodically waking up as seen in the screenshots below.

I've gone through all of my installed apps and made sure that they arent refreshing, etc. at any frequent period (facebook and android weather were the biggest abusers, but I turned refresh off and to 6hrs respectively). I cant find any other apps that would be waking the device up, but its still being woken up about every 7 min. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
I seem to be having the same problem since the jelly bean update At first I though it was the steam app the one awaking the phone, but it doesn´t seem to be the case. Right now I´m blaming Google Now as I see no other suspects, but I´m not really convinced... It looks like it only happens when I have data connection or wifi on. If I disable all data, the problem seems to dissapear.

Ok so I just realized that Tapatalk was set to check for updates every 30 min. I changed that to 12 hrs, but that still doesnt explain the rate of awakes that I was seeing. Could it be google sync? I thought there used to be a place to set the sync interval, but I cant seem to find it in JB...
use better battery stats to look at what's keeping the phone awake
Hi guys,
I hope someone here can help me figure out a solution to this problem. It seems that every time I switch on my data (4G, 3G, etc.) Google Play Services suddenly kicks into overdrive and downloads an insane amount of data for no reason that I can figure out.
My first indication this was happening was when my mobile operator turned off my data a few days after getting the phone because I had already hit my monthly limit (3GB)! I switched off my data until my new bill arrived and when I turned it back on again on the 14th of this month, it started happening again. I went into settings and selected "restrict background data" and this stopped it, but my phone wasn't working as I expected it, as I'm sure you can imagine. Over the previous weekend, I was staying at a B&B. I turned on data for an hour and unselected "restrict background data" so I could use the phone like normal. I left the phone down for that hour doing nothing before I remembered I left data on (the horror!) and discovered it downloaded a further 300-odd MB's in that time.
I've attached some screens for you to look at. This is a new phone, but this behavior is totally alien to me. Can anyone help?

RESOLVED:
Called HTC Support and they were as surprised as anyone would be. They reluctantly decided that the best, even though the most primative, form of action here would be Factory Reset.
It worked, so I'm glad I have my phone working as it should now.
Hi,
I was posting this on Samsung community topic and have it confirmed - after some time, GPS starts to fly over and suddenly it freezes totaly.
I've made a video of it:
Anyone solved it ?
S22 Exynos...
Mine is behaving the same, s22 ultra exynos. It worked fine before the (March?) update that fixed Whatsapp video playback. I am driving a lot, turning location off and on again so often is making the phone almost unusable for navigation.
Guess we will have to be patient. Last update EVAH did some progress but its not completely ok. Its just much better now.
After latest update and some app permission tweaking it seems Samsung fixed the freeze issue. (At least for me)
Faced the same issue as mentioned here so far.
After patch (see screenshot) gps worked fine for the duration of a 1:10 hour run -tracked- with no interruptions.
However, i sense Samsung pulled a dirty on here.
During the tracked session it seemed the 5G SIM module lost connectivity a couple of times in areas it worked fine before.
Will try converting the SIM to eSIM and test again.
Did anyone encounter similar issue?

Ok, good to know. Thanks for confirming.
