GPS on OTA ICS is crap... - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Had root, went back and forth between GB and ICS... had some problem unrelated to ICS and unrooted to OTA ICS to take phone in for some work
So I'm unrooted running the OTA ICS 4.0.4 and can't get GPS to work worth a flip... I've searched and all I can find is the fix where you go back to GB, get lock and then flash back to ICS... But I'm not rooted and don't wanna bother with it right now.. Is there something I can do to just make it work??
Thanks

Nah, I hadn't seen that yet... but I was hoping for some sort of fix where I didn't have to do a bunch of flashing and re-rooting...
But I'll def give this a shot if I can't find another way.. thanks

[Q] Updating deactivated returned-to-stock Dinc2

Hi all,
I recently switched from my Dinc2 to another phone which for now shall remain nameless , I listed and sold my phone on eBay and I had it rooted, I returned the phone to stock 2.2.1 via Jcase's guide on rootzwiki. I now am having trouble getting the phone to update, to what I believe the newest Verizon build is 2.3.4? Correct? The phone is deactivated but I have a working wifi connection. Any way this is possible? Via RUU, PG32IMG, other methods? Thanks in advance.

[Q] Does anyone know how to make SpareParts settings stick after reboot?

installing Spare Parts from Market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidapps.spare_parts&hl=en
lets you change many hidden settings
however the one i like the most "Extremely Small Font Size" always resets back to default "Normal" size after a reboot
anyone knows how to make the setting stick?
It does that on the nexus s also. Not sure how to get around it

Some stick some don't
Spare Parts is basically a Google proof-of-concept app/tool/example, it's not actually intended to be distributed to the public. It works as it supposed to. It is more or less used for developing apps. It isn't os suppose to be os wide.

Could someone either tell me how to get rid of this button or remove it for me? Would be greatly appreciated. Small thing that annoys me.
I think you have to use apk tool to remove it, or you can download a new sms manager from market. But why is it so horrible? Why do you want to remove it?
You honestly don't want an easy way to add an attachment. Why?

Same here except I've got two updates today! Sure wish it said what they were. I'm worried this is the update to force us to pay for tethering.

Didn't expect smart ass responses, then again, maybe I should have.

Patience man! It'll be out soon enough and then people will be asking about the Key Lime Pie update. It never ends so just enjoy the options that are there and READ the forums to learn about those options.

Yea, I might just root and flash CM10. I just wanted to stay away from the flashing game, did it on my G1 and SGS1.
