the 3 button issue has already been fixed.
and the GPS issue has been fixed in the leaked roms.
and the samsung rep is already aware of the issues and posted updates about them a couple times.

where has the 3-button been fixed?

leaked roms != official roms, and honestly my GPS is still not as good as my iPhail 3GS. Not acceptable yet.

Fixed? Uhhh... No. Neither have been fixed. There is no 3 button workaround for the Captivate yet. As far as I am aware, Samsung USA has yet to acknowledge th 3 button problem on the Captivate. And GPS is still not working consistently in JH7 so what mysterious ROM are you referring to?

I have no issues with my GPS
However the three button recovery will not work on my phone unless I adb it.
Also Download mode will not work unless I adb it.
So where is the fix?

Uh yes its all fixed, my GPS works fine and my 3 button recover works fine too, you got a LEMON!!!

It is interesting all the conflicting info out there.
I have been reading the GPS posts closely, and while I haven't counted, I would be there are more that it is not 'fixed' for than there are. I also feel that those who think it works fine for just haven't been in the right circumstances for it to fail.
But, that's good for them if it is fixed.

I would bet that anyone that says the GPS is "fixed" has used the workarounds. I wouldn't consider this a "fix". Or maybe it the Democrats definition of a fix?
Sorry to add in politics.

It isn't fixed and your comment isn't very helpfull. I had Samsung on the phone yesterday and today and in no way is this fixed. It appears that there was a run of phones that the three button combo does not work. The thread is somehwere on here and people posted the date of manufacture on the phones that don't have the three button combo working. Apparently you can send your phone to Samsung and they can fix it so the three button combo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778586
Here's the link to the thread discussing it, you can find the dates of phones that don't have the three button combo working.

Obviously you have the needle in the haystack phone while I bet over 95% have either the GPS or 3 button problem.

Nexus S - Random Reboots, GPS and Compass issues?

Hey,
i know this has been discussed in many threads..just want to have some answers.
i bought my Nexus S a few months ago, it's the I9020 not I9023, from UK.
i really love the phone itself, it's just awesome. had a htc hero before.
but i hate those random reboots, happens to me ~1 time per day. the screen wents really dark and a never ending bootloop happens. have to pull out battery to get it back to work, most times i don't even notice this and the phone is dead after a while of bootlooping... no fix yet right? anyway i "can" live with this but hope to get a fix soon...
GPS and Compass were unuseable since i have it. even my hero has a faster and especially safer GPS-Fix, GPS on Nexus S just loose fix every few seconds and compass does not jump around 50-100°. THIS really sucks! I have already searched around on google and XDA and wherever if this is a hardware or software issue and if there is a possible fix for it but i haven't found a real answer yet and this is what i want to know now.
is this hardware or software related?
is there a fix possible?
like i said, love the phone itself but these issues would make me resell it...
hope i'll get some answers and don't be rude, my english issn't the best.
Best regards and happy easter
Flo
edit: im using latest CM7 with latest Netarchy-Kernel with no additions.
The boot loop/reboot problem is definitely a CM7 issue. None of the other ROMS have this problem.

You could still have bumped an older thread, though. Like mine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035005.
I think if all the people with GPS problems could get together in one thread (needn't be mine, of course, there's lots), this issue would get more exposure and eventually be fixed.

No idea, but since the Nexus One and the Galaxy S with 2.3.3 have similar issues, I'm still hoping it's software. There is no known fix at this time.

i guess you are right, and im doing my share here. i have at least 2, 3 random reboots everyday, even if its a clean install, everything wiped. there's something buggy in every cm7 based rom
I guess its the radio problem, for the gps,

Important Tests To Perform After Purchasing Sensation (UPDATED)

Since there are individual threads going on regarding diff. issues that some Sensations suffer from, i thought i would start this thread to have all these issues in one place. And more importantly, we can suggest some tests that could be performed right out of the box to figure out whether or not the device should be sent for replacement.
I'll keep the first post updated based on your recommendations in this thread.
-The first thing i can think of is the issue with the device being loose in its back cover, which is something that should be kept in mind and also can be easily tested
-Then comes the problem of "separate" layers under the screen which is accompanied by a sound resembling "a sticker being peeled of a surface".

So... I'm really confused now.
Multiple searches, and reading tons of this forum on a daily basis for several months now had led me to the conclusion that the i727 and i727R are identical hardware... how is it possible that this isn't working on Rogers? Could it be something as silly as an environment variable set differently somewhere?
Looking forward to seeing a post that somebody cracks this puzzler soon. As far as I can tell all of the ATT and Rogers ROMS up to now were interchangable...
Have I misunderstood, or are these phones not physically (chipset, hardware...) identical?

They are as identical as two phone with different branding can be. The software is different and that leak is very AT&T specific. So there's something in there that screws up the R. If you take it south and run an AT&T SIM I'll bet it works just fine. The good news is that it is software so someone will find it and make a more generic version. Besides, I'm here to *not* run a stock ROM so I'm staying far away until it settles down and the devs have dived in.

Alright, beautiful. this works on my Rogers i727R. Just I have the home button issue. I'll look over the phone to see what else is working and not working over the next few hours while I'm in class.
Thanks!
Edit:
1) Receiving errors when trying to download apps on the market.
2) Trying to fix the home button. It works on start up on the homescreen, but once an app opens it stops working.
both known issues with fixes. (the main at&t threads talk about his)
Factory reset until home issue goes away
clear data/force stop to download apps.
joshuaauger said:
Here's how I fixed that. I ran dark side super wipe before install then install, run wipe data factory/ reset, wipe dalvik, fix permissions. (Overkill but hey just in case). After, when first boot comes up and the AT&T setup shows, click cancel then next. RIGHT when that's done pull the battery, before any apps install. Start back up and was fine, no home button issue but still no working reboot menu.
Anyways might work for others.

Delay when pressing notifications

Hello guys, I recently got my new Oneplus 8T, and, whilst the device is amazing from what I could use it, it has an annoying flaw that I couldn´t find any information of.
When I press a whatsapp, telegram, etc notification, there´s a bit of delay inbetween the press and the start of the app opening. The phone does it the majority of times, as you can see in the video below (at the 10 second mark it opens it right):
Do you have an idea on what could be causing this? Does any of you have the same issue I do? I tried turning off everything related to battery saving, even factory reseting. Any help is much appreciated, thank you in advance!

I've come across some people with this specific flaw, I contacted Oneplus and they told me to factory reset the phone and if that didn't help (which did not, since I've gone wayy further with it, installing HydrogenOS and older versions of OxygenOS and didn't solve the issue), it "might" be a software issue and it "might" be solved in the next software update.
For how much have you been with the phone?
What is bugging me is that this problem is too specific for it to be a hardware issue.

Yes, I still have my Oneplus 7 Pro and it works flawlessly. I think I found something crucial.
The problem lays whitin the "Notifications" apartment. I'll explain myself.
As you can see in this new video I recorded
that weird delay shows when I open a notification coming from the tab "Notifications". BUT, when I open the SAME APP (Play Store) from a notification coming from "Other notifications" there's no delay at all, the phone works flawlessly, see how I press to see how my download is going, there's no lag. It would be wonderful if you could try it yourself, and see if that's the case on you unit too.
Taking this into account, I'm almost 100% sure this is a software related problem, and has nothing to do with hardware, probably a bug.
I'll report it to the bug reporting section of Oneplus and see if they can work on it.

The latest OTA kinda did something for me. I get the delay 5 out of 10 times I press a notification. Used to be 9 out of 10 times lol. It's not completely fixed but it's an improvement. What I did was send a bug report to the Oneplus bug reporting site and they said that they will be working on it.
