GPS issues finally fixed with Froyo?

So, all those who have upgraded the firmware to Froyo, please answer this.....
Is your GPS/Google Map finally working in perfect condition?
If the GPS still have problem then i think we can probably say with high degree of certainty that it is a hardware based problem....
I mean with all the firmwares that they have leaked so far, wouldnt fixing the GPS issue be priority number one for them? If it was software/firware fixable, then i would think that they would have solve it by now....

If they haven't fixed it yet for us on Eclair what would make you think FroYo fixes the problem?

The next official release will be Froyo, so it makes sense they do not work at eclair firmware anymore. So if they fix GPS it will be with the next official firmware and this should be Froyo.

They need to patch the GPS before September. If they had a patch we would be hearing about an OTA and it would be included in later leaked firmware revisions.

the gps is fixed (at least for me) in JM2 already!

Are you going back to the SGS if/when they fix it? Thought you sold yours.... But im old and might have you confused with someone else

Yeah my exact thoughts. Dude didn't you say 2 weeks ago that you sold your SGS? Did you even have one?

Yes sirs..... i sold mine couple of weeks ago ...
i couldnt find any good or better android phone ever since... all have their flaws in one way or another... so if they fixed the GPS issue, i might go back to this phone because it still offers the best features compared to others....
i'll probably wait to see until september wether they have fixed this GPS issue or not.....
Iphone 4 seems to have the phone signal problems taken care off in their later batches of production phones... so i might consider that phone too if that is really the case.....But still, i hate the thought of having to cut up my sim cards just to be able to fit in the phone... it will give me problems when i want to use the sim on other phones.... i think the use of different size sim card is totally dumb move on steve jobs.....its a differentiation feature that offers no benefits at all but headache....But coming from someone who said "you are holding it the wrong way" about a phone, it is no surprise for me......
So smart yet so stupid....

GPS on my Galaxy S works perfectly on all firmware, so if gps does not work on yours it must be a hardware problem. Take it back.

Why with froyo, if is a software issue must be broadcom driver problem libgps.so ,
android interface with driver gps.h is clear(http://pdk.android.com/online-pdk/guide/gps.html).
So you "only" have to replace the driver and possibily related config files.
If GPS is capable of 24 satellites (bcm4751 seems a good GPS chip) simultaneus tracking why only can lock 8 (this is not explainable).
Excuse my poor English.

yeah sure .... using the GPS with GPS test in your house and having a fix in 10 sec is the main use of a GPS ... at least for all people saying it work
Just for information, the main use of a GPS is for car navigation, and there the GPS is kind of useless .....

It's more likely that the flaw is in software than hardware, and samsung has said multiple times that they are looking into it, so i bet there will be a fix for it.
The problem with the iPhone is that you can't fix a design flaw, without new design, understand? See, when you connect 2 different antennas with your finger, you kill them both.
Anyhow, if you even consider iOS over Android, then i guess Android itself just isn't for you. The thing in Android is customization and if you don't like that, then you're better off with Apple products. I tend to recommend iPhone for girls and hipster friends, because they don't understand anything about personality or care about the latest and greatest hardware.
[offtopic rant]
In fact, Apple products scare me a little bit; so much fanaticism. I happen to work in a web development agency and we have to use mac's. Everyone except me in my office praises Apple and i absolutely hate it, mainly because my WIN 7 machine at home is just, well, multiple times faster and better for everything (crapbook in work is the latest and greatest). To me it seems that they are in some sort of vista (before SP1) hating time continuum; they can't escape, even though snowleopard is a joke update to the previous cute cat. They seem to hate all Microsoft, because of IE6 and vista(before sp1); even though they have **** like iTunes, QuickTime and well OSX(my honest opinion, have to use snowleopard every day).
[end rant]
Good luck!

Is it for sure that our Galaxy is using this chip?
I also think that it is an driver problem. while starting gps test at the first moment it locks satelites with signal under 20 snr, but it loose them again and do not lock satelites under 20 snr anymore.

Australian OTA Update for OPTUS 128.980.10

128.980.10 is now out on Optus branded handsets. See any difference?
My phone was running great before, but now I am stuck at title screen, and its very difficult to scroll on the menus!
A bit wierd Im sure it will come good.
So I played with it for about 2 mins and it finally cleared up. Running pretty smooth. Some parts are super laggy, but my phone was like that when I first got it. Once I had been around the phone and seen everything the phone behaves super smooth. Its like it needs to see everything one time then its smooth.
Anyways ill report back any noticable differences over the next few days.

Just did the same update and first thing I can notice is that my WiFi has become alot more responsive. Is very quick to react when searching over WiFi and no delays. Apart from that I'm not too sure because it's too early to comment. Will keep all posted

Unfortunately, im getting a wierd error Ihave never seen before, and everything is now reaaaaly unresponsive.
It says "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly".
What can I do to stop this. sort of annoying cause my phone was actually pretty smooth and had great battery life before hand anyway!

Where is it.
PS My phone is getting worse and worse.. the home keys barely work anymore. i have turned it on and off. I have even done that clear contacts cache under manage sources for contact info. Sometime when I try and wake the phone from sleep with the power lock button, it just stays off, for about 45 seconds. When it comes to, it is almost bricked.. just slow and the menus wont scroll properly.

Ah yes, google search leads me here.

im going to have to start my phone from scratch.. sorry guys I cant recommend this update for Aussie Optus people. maybe its something simple I dont know, but i updated it following the instructions perfectly, and the phone is now screwed. Im going to try and hard reset and reinstall everything on my phone all over again.

You're downloaded update had an error. Are you rooted from HTC dev? If not (judging from your question re hboot) take it back. The update failed and needs to be reflashed. Unfortunately without being rooted this can't be done. Easy enough to gain root but that has other consequences.

Hope this worked but I'm not sure it will. The android core process error is common with flashaholics who have not wiped a phone properly when changing base firmwares. Which is what we have done with the Optus ota. For me it worked fine.

The phone is now bricked guys. No I don't do any of this rooting stuff, I'm just learning the phone as it is from factory. I just got the Optus OTA installed it and now my phone is stuffed.
It's stuck on the 3 android with white background picture. I can't make the menu come up in this white screen. It just says "checking SD card update".
If I go to menu, normal menu with icons and sense 4.0, doesn't like any touch, completely unresponsive and will not accept me doing any functions, including resetting the phone. I can't do hard or soft reset.
Damn Optus update. Even before my phone got that green banding. Now this tops it off.

Two options return and enjoy new one. Or obtain root and flash ruu to return phone to stock software. Pick one and I can walk you through it. Will provide links to show you exact method but without flashing experience you will have questions that I can answer for you. Up to you which path you want to go.

2.15 is unlikely to be the final build version, I'm expecting it to be 2.2x like the One XL and One S

Yes, the so called 4.0.4 update should include this switch.
Not sure why HTC withhold this, maybe they want to directly jump to JB.

I can't find any changes yet except the machine is smoother than before.

I have a HK phone, I'm in the UK right now, just got the update.
This is the second 1.29 for HK, it is probably equivalent to 1.29.401.11, so should solve missing storage space and flickering, if you had those problems.
It could be equivalent to .12, we need to compare radio versions, I guess.

Bettery improved during 3G call.
Power consumption became normal in some mini games.
Faster charging time.
Less heat generated.
Seems more lag in facebook app. But seems battery improved.
The screen seems consume less power just got less then 40% after the update. It used to be 58%. However, it looks less contrast. (Nvidia PRISM??)

1.29.708.15 update
Hi Guys,
I am new to the forum but have been reading your phone reviews for a while and really pleased with the help and advice you have given in the past. I have the new HTC one X and never had any issue that other people have complained about etc etc, not one problem at all. its never overheated, never crashed, or had screen issues - BUT as soon I installed the new update my phone has been crashing all day. When my phone rings it turns off, when I leave it alone it reboots, half way through a conversation it reboots. I have not installed any additional apps after the update and as far as I know its only started after the update?? Also my battery is getting milked to death.
Also I am not that computer savvy so please keep the English in layman's terms!!!
Please help shed some light on this as I have been loving this phone, but its completely killing me at the moment.
Thanks again guys

There is a pretty good chance that it is permanent hardware damage caused by the software setting display voltage too high.
I would probably get warranty repair done, but only if I knew that the repair work would be done right.

I returned mine (backlight flickering) and they updated it... To the latest version i allredy had on tomorrow i will demand a new phone and aks if the sum of the iq of the people that worked on my phone can be compared to my spare tyre

It was supposed to fix the issue, but I suspect that those who were on updates that had the original flickering issue for too long may have actually had their phones damaged by the overvoltage.

I'm on the latest (stock) update and mine still flickers - although only slightly. (Still enough to notice on light backgrounds, though - and not all the time.)

I used to have the flicker with the stock firmware (it was 1.29 I think), after I updated to test 2.05 and now to 2.15 the flicker issue is gone.
It's a shame that HTC didn't fixed the issue faster, but in the end it's OK.

There was a massive thread on this that kinda fizzled out not too long ago, I think the general consensus was that after the 1.29 update it took about two weeks for the software to settle in and the flickering will disappear.
You mean flickering like a strobe light effect as there were two known kinds.

I don't want to hijack someone else's thread, but mine is not the strobe - it is the slight (but noticeable) flicker on light backgrounds, as you might find in a fluorescent bulb which is struggling to stay alight. I am on Voda UK, 1.29.161.13 which is the latest OTA and I have been using it for more than two weeks, so the flicker should have gone. In all other respects, my phone is rock-solid; I don't want to swap it and take the chance I'll get a worse model back and I can't be without it whilst it is in for repair. I guess I'm hoping that a later OTA will fix the problem. Is that a reasonable expectation?

That's what I was experiencing, Eg on the light grey backgrounds it's a light flickering. Mine went away and I don't experience it anymore.
I seem to remember it dissapearing after I got 1.29.401.11 iirc...
Yeah please do.

Ok so here is the backlight flickering verdict. Its still the same nothing changed. The people who reported that it was fixed probably installed the update sooner then me and did not experienced hardware damage. Its safe to say i have to return mine

I'm a bit late, but heyho. I also experienced the flicker when I was on 1.28. Especially on the recent apps grey screem. But I flashed a newer base and its disappeared in 3 days (ish). I flashed the 2.17 base by the way. But, like others have said 1.29 was apparently the update which fixed the flicker, just took a few days to settle. So glad its gone. Hope you have the same outcome.

i heard that some HOX have this problem and its software-related in most cases. but there's a thread for this topic! just search!

Best rom yet, smooth, fluid and fast! Sense feels like a new experience that now I use it and not replaced it with a third party launcher.
It's a big improvement from the previous bases, it can only get better with future updates. I don't use stock but use custom roms so should be very similar performance wise.
Screen flicker was solved on the 1.2.9 release however saying that I did experience slight flicker on the 2.1.7 base but I think that was related to auto brightness as it seems to have disappeared now as well after a few days of settling down.

[Q] Flickering Screen Progression

Hey guys I just started getting the flickering backlight problem on my one x. I've noticed its gotten a little worse since it first appeared but I wanted to see if it actually progresses and gets worse and worse. I don't have time to send the phone in for repair (off to college in a few days) and I'm considering just dealing with the flickering. Also, my bootloader is unlocked so I dunno if they will fix it.
Thanks

+1 to Lawrence's comment, if it's 1.28, that's your problem its a very, very buggy software release if you ask me.

I'm not sure, if you've not long upgraded or flashed it mine took around 3 days to settle the voltages and stop flickering

Also is it specifically on the grey backgrounds I.e the recent apps screen?
Sent from my HTC One X

2.17.401.2 and yeah its mostly on grey backgrounds. Sometimes the recent apps screen but not always. I've noticed it doesn't happen all the time. Maybe its linked to brightness? Thanks for the help by the way

Oh, that's the most recent update which I also have, that's a bit confusing maybe it is brightness related. If it's like a strobe light on the recent app screen specifically on recent app background then it sounds like the software bug, but if you said you've had the software on for a few weeks, I'm a little confused. Maybe you should wait. A little longer and see if it settles.
No problem, always like to help

Hmm okay. Yeah its a very faint and fast flickering on certain shades of grey. Hopefully its just software. I don't really have time to send it to HTC. I'll give it some time to settle. Maybe the next update of arhd will fix it. Thank you very much!

I hope it gets sorted for you! Good luck and sorry I couldn't help anymore!
