i will go to download any app and usually IF IT WANTS TO it will take about a minute before anything actually happens and if it starts downloading, it will hang at installing then i have to stop the download/install and restart it again to get it to work. Updates or fresh installs, doesnt matter. You can see how when there alot of updates it can get annoying.
Does anyone have a market.apk that i can try because there is not logic behind this happening that i can see(maybe missing something).
THANKS FOR ANY HELP AHEAD OF TIME.
There is an issue with the Market and Google Talk, they both use the same login so if talk logs out the market wont work. Try bringing it up and logging in or logging it out and then back in.
This happens to everyone. Get over it. Really.
If you REALLY think you're special, make sure you're using the 8/17 GApps on CM6, and let your phone sit on for a day or two so it auto-updates the Market's APK.

It was a simple question. This doesnt happen to everyone. I have played with several other rooted/unrooted evos over the past weeks(longer than a few days if you need help). I have the latest gapps and have been patient. Been looking around here and another forums because I try not to clutter up when not needed. I see you have no problem adding to the crap that is making these forums go down hill. I guess you think your special enough to go around trying to be an internet "bad ass" though.
xHAUSx Thanks for your help buddy. I appreciate the few good people around here. Enjoy your evening.
I tried the mentioned fix, and it worked. I've noticed similar issues across various roms. I signed out and signed in and it worked first time. Thanks for the fix. Thanks for asking this question, it was driving me nuts.
Hello all, Im brand new to the forums and just recently was shown the wonders of rooting and messing with my phone by a coworker. I am amazed to see all the stuff this thing can do that Tmobile didnt bother doing for me! I recently went from CM6 to CM7 then upgraded to RC2 and somewhere in there I lost GPS all together and Gmail stopped sending my emails. No matter what I do GPS will not work. It shows that it is on everywhere I look for not in the status bar. I can find my location using wireless but its not nearly accurate enough for me. I read somewhere on the forums that uploading to the newest radio will help the GPS but the link it gave me showed it being posted in mid January and I figured there had to be something newer than that . I am also uninstalling and reinstalling Gmail to see if that solves my problems with it now and I will edit this if that changes. Ive read a few places where people were talking about getting an FM radio on the MT3G and most of the time it was said that it is not possible, it isnt right? Any info or advice you pros can give me will be greatly appreciated by this noob! Thanks guys!
EDIT: Looks like I should have taken my own advice and reloaded Gmail before asking about it, I can now send emails!
As for your GPS, once you get the newest radio flashed, go out door to a place with clear sky (as in no buildings hovering over your head). I thought my GPS didn't work either, then I stepped out and turned it on. Bam. Works perfectly fine.

download TuneIn from market
I got the radio downloaded and I finally have GPS!! I had read about downloading the newest radio before but the only one I saw was from January and I was hoping to find a newer one or a different fix. The only issue I have with the GPS now is the blue arrow that shows your position keeps going sideways :-/, another issue to research. As far as the FM radio goes, Ive see apps like that before but the reason I asked about an FM radio was to pick up the broadcasts from the TV's at the gym. Thanks for the post though.
Yea,my gps takes long to lock on outside,then when I'm driving or stopped at a red light it always reroutes,when I'm moving the arrow goes sideways and moves along so I can't really know where I'm going might a bug or sumthang.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Anybody figure out the problem with the navigation? I've got the same problem with the blue arrow being all funky. Makes google maps unusable.
Anybody else also know why this CM7 RC4 is killing my battery life?
I just updated my radio to the newest one and it's still got the same problem.
I did the radio too but Im still having problems. Im on nightly 36 now, but Ive tried 33 and RC1-4 without any luck. I heard someone say 32 works but ive also heard people say all of them works for them so im not sure.
my google maps gps is pointing to the wrong direction too. And get a long time to pinpoint my location.
cm7 and newest radio installed.
The guy who introduced me to all of this rooting stuff suggested I do a backup through titanium and then a full wipe before reinstalling CM7. I' not comfortable enough with all this yet to do it on my own so I have to wait until I work with him again. Mybe someone with more experience (or atleast confidence haha) would want to give this a shot and let us all know? I feel like it could work because there are so few of us having this problem and those that aren't have nothing different (in hardware or software) from the rest of us, so a wipe and reinstall could work...right??

Every time i have an issue with a ROM, i always full wipe and reflash and then restore my necessary apps through Titanium. It usually does the trick.
Full wipe involves data/factory reset, cache partition, and dalvik cache, all in cwm recovery menu correct? Is there anything else that needs to be wiped before flashing a new rom?
I got the update pushed to my phone yesterday and ever since there has been nothing but problems! First, the battery drains at a ridiculous rate. I unplugged it at 10:30 am and by 3:00 pm I was down to 60% without anything going on except 7 text messages. I can usually go 24 between charges. Second, the overall speed of the phone has slowed to a crawl. Web pages take forever to load, the app marked just hangs on the loading screen, and apps even take minuets just to open. Third, my phone randomly loses data connection. I cannot load any apps that require a data connection even when the wifi and 3G logo are showing with full bars. I get an error massage that says "connection failed" or "retry." it's so bad that when trying to sync notes or email my phone has the scroll wheel of death and freezes on that page. I've had the phone since thanksgiving and haven't done anything to it, its completely stock, I don't even know how to jailbreak it! I haven't had any issues whatsoever before I updated and now my phone is pretty much unusable. Is anyone else experiencing this? I need there to be an update to fix this update or for someone to tell me how to downgrade back to 2.3.4
You should try rooting and running an custom rom or kernel. I've received the ota as well but i immediately rooted afterwards. Im running the stock rom but using a custom, overclockable kernel, and its quick! Rooting is VERY easy on this particular phone & the instructions can be found here in the android development section of this phone model. Or you could simply just take the phone back and ***** to sprint about it and maybe they'll issue you a new unit.
I prefer not going to sprint at all simply because the only store with a repair center here where i live i worked at and it was terrible, but I need help. I want to know the simplest way to root and revert back to 100% out of the box stock if possible... If not i'll suck it up and go to the store

Do I need to root because this just shows him unrooting the phone?
You have been such a blessing! Thanks so much for being patient and dealing with my ignorance...
lol don't know yet.. but you are definitely more of a professional than I am so I am taking your word for it
I appreciate it. If I do encounter any problems I will let you know but so far so good. It's pretty easy to follow
It worked! Thanks again
Thanks! Being that I'm a pro now I will look into the whole rooting and flashing rooms. I even got the lingo down lol
Question though... Do I flash roms the same way as in the video or is there something different I have to do?
Howdy Folks!
I recently got a SGH-I927 that is locked to AT&T.
I have read what I believe is all the relevant data about how to do the things I want, and I think I have it down, but I want to make sure I have everything exactly correct. I still have 6 days left with Virgin Mobile before I have to have all this done.
What I want to do...
Root
Back up my EFS
Update from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4
Carrier Unlock from AT&T so I can use a T-Mobile MVNO.
So my question is- is this the best order to do things in? I know I have to root before I can Unlock the phone or Backup my EFS, but I notice that there are two different methods for Rooting. I can root before I update to ICS or after. Does it make a difference? Which method is easier, which one is more reliable/safer? I also noticed that Unlocking the phone after updating to ICS requires an extra step, so that would be another factor.
Kies seems to be working, and when I plugged my phone in, it offered to update me from 2.3.6 (Baseband Ver I927UCKL1) to 4.04 (Baseband Ver I927UCLJ3), so it doesn't seem like updating will be a problem.
Are there any major issues with version two of the ICS update? I have read a lot of people that had issues with the first version of ICS that got released, and I know AT&T pulled it as an OTR update, but haven't heard a lot about version two. The people who have it are you satisfied with it? Did anyone prefer Gingerbread?
Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry if these questions have been answered already, I really did read through a LOT of information before posting here, and haven't seen these answered.
You don't need to root to unlock the phone. You just need to insert a code you buy from a seller on the internet.
I'm running the ULCHJ version of ICS and it works fine. I experienced the same GPS issue i had in GB, but the same fix worked it out and it I'm totally happy with it.
I can say, hope i won't regret, that there's nothing i should fix so far. Some minor issues were fixed as soon as i went through, I'm quite satisfied with this ROM now.

hi dark blaidd, welcome to glide!
if i were to do it over again i would backup my efs via adb on my computer before rooting or anything.
i used fastgsm to unlock my phone which is a codeless way to unlock and i suspect its how i lost my imei
certainly get a code and use dmans uclj3 deodexed rooted as the stable rom.. then you can use es explorer to modify sirgps.conf and gps.conf to get your gps working. before i switched to cm10.1 JB I was running it with no issues and instant GPS lock in all apps.
I will likely switch back as I have a new hands free stereo for my car that I would like to legally take advantage of
let us know if you run into issues you will need to do a few searches.

I can't believe I am about to say this, I have spent the last two years on custom ROMs, but I think I am fine with stock for now. The ROMs for the Glide look promising, but I MUST have Camera and Bluetooth, so I will probably wait until those issues get ironed out. There is also a chance that Samsung will update us to Jellybean, they just released an update for the Galaxy S2, so it's possible.

Don't bother with ICS, the official ROM has issues and we never did much dev at that level. Go to CM10.1 once you have the ICS bootloader.

About that... AT&T phones, even once unlocked, cannot use UMTS or HSPA+ on T-Mobile's network. It's a physical limitation of the radio. ONLY do this if you already KNOW you will be happy with EDGE.

I'm in same boat here I guess. Just ordered a Glide, looking forward to having a physical keyboard again since my TP2 days. I was checking out the ROM options, found the link for "Stock UCLJ3 Rom" and it looks like that is the way go, other than maybe just staying stock... I need Bluetooth, Camera, GPS, and Tethering to work, so I guess I won't be messing around with anything fancy.
So don't do any OTA upgrade at all when I first get it out of the box? Just back it up, then root, and install UCLJ3 via CWM? Is this the best choice?

There is not and never has been GPS problems that actually affect normal use. I don't know where people are getting that from. There's some anomalies in the data returned, but nothing that's actually used by the location API.
Bluetooth itself works, but there are some audio layer problems that interfere with headsets/earpieces and the like. (TBH our whole audio layer is a mess right now.) Stuff like OBEX and tethering should work fine.
Speaking of audio layer issues... there's still a longstanding bug where if userspace (i.e. an app; normal cell network phonecalls are fine) opens the microphone, audio output is corrupted. The biggest problem caused by this is the other person is basically unintelligible when calling in Skype. That and Bluetooth audio routing are really the only big problems we still have.
The camera was fixed months and months and months ago. I discovered the original fix even. There was a problem with audio in the video recorder that has now been solved recently.

OK, so then just the random app microphone and bluetooth issues still remain... So you still say it's worth it? I'm leaning towards the debloated rooted stock as I'm just lazy and want everything to work.

Official ICS was something of a ****storm, as Samsung never did get it to work quite right. There was a myriad of weird keyboard issues, intermittent radio problems, and come to think of it, I think I know where the GPS thing came from... official ROMs have lethargic GPS if you're not on AT&T. I'd say 99% of power users with a Glide are on one build/variant or the other of CM10.1 because it's the most problem-free ROM that's not, ugh, Gingerbread.
The primary value of official ICS to us was the kernel sources and RIL blobs -- the last few critical bits and pieces we needed to make our own ROMs and properly connect them to all the phone hardware.
I'd say, once you have everything backed up:
Flash official ICS UCLJ3 (for the bootloader and baseband)
Flash CWM over the top of it
Use CWM to flash the current CM10.1 build and gapps. Call it good.

Ok great, thanks for the explanation/breakdown So if there is an OTA update that pops up right out of the box, do I do it or skip it? And I'll have to root before flashing the UCLJ3, right?

Might as well, as if it happens to be UCLJ3, well, it just did Step 1 for you, and if not, well, it doesn't matter either way.
You don't really need root for any of this since our bootloader is unlocked OOB.

Damn it, that really sucks. Thank you so much for letting me know that, you saved me some headaches.
Edit: I did some digging around to get a technical explanation of this issue and stumbled across some unexpectedly good news, I can use HSPA+ on T-MO, well halfway at least, I'm going to make a new post as a public service.
yeah, first thing i accomplished successfully tho not without a lot of wiping an rewiping and installing and reinstalling stuff, was unlocking the phone, then i put in the aio and it did it's thing on it's own and connected wonderfully. first time trying to go back to tmob, it started this misconnection issue. it's basically intermittent closer to non operational, tho i did get a random text tonight from a friend i was unable to respond to, because im like kinda connected for a sec, sometimes i'll see the opposing 4g arrows working in the notification area, but not long enough to get info set in the apn settings, you know where i'm talking about. half of those settings work only when you have a signal, for ex. i do the manual part correctly, hit the save apn button ... nothing saves, nothing happens better after that.
i bet you i need to update that radio huh? just tried to flash a newer rom and it said no because my radio was too old. i could have sworn my stock rom, which is supposed to be the latest... which maybe was old right? its in the threads here, first stock you'll find. probably that rom was cool with the uvle1... confusing stuff. okay, til someone answers otherwise i'm just gonna keep trying to update this radio. i guess it is only good now for unlocking...
okay, so i just flashed jedi mind trick which updated the radio, but the stock rom didn't. so does that mean that some roms will not touch the radio while others will? and what was wrong with the radio before? was it made to work only for the associated older versions of android?
