New JH7 LBSTESTMOD dial number - Captivate General

Hello, Here is the new JH7 LBSTESTMOD dial number... I posted because it took me forever to find! Anyone have good GPS settings with the new JH7?
*#3214789650#
Thanks,
Soggy

Or you can just down a free app that can launch lbstestmode directly from apps drawer instead of trying to find or remember the number sequences.

What's the apps name? I am not rooted as well....

You could also use launcher pro and simply create a shortcut or create a swipe gesture to launch lbs test mode.

Hmm. It actually works with my JI6 Froyo without the need to root. Why would it not work with JH7?

Here are my settings
This is what I got (JI6 w/ a lag fix), and I consistently can connect within 10secs no mods needed. Consistent 10 meter accuracy. (Before anyone complains on the accuracy...It's a phone, I don't need more than that. I don't expect it to take me to an exact door step. That's what eyes are for ) Good luck to those who are still having problems. Hopefully this helps.
Session Type: Tracking
Test Modes: Off
Operation Mode: Standalone
Start Mode: Hot Start
GPS Plus: On
Dynamic Accuracy: On
Accuracy: 50
Server FQDN Type: Custom
Server: www.spirent-lcs.com
Server Port: 7275
Secure Socket: On
AGPS Mode: SUPL

I am going to take a stab and say it may have something to do with the compiler.

I am going to take a stab and guess that it may have something to do with the compiler. I think Samsung released the phone too early. No complaints here though. I like fixing things. Nice little hobby. If it were working out the box there are a lot of things I would not have learned. Personal belief: Galaxy S phones probably were intended to be released with Froyo, but Samsung may not had a stable version at the time, and went with Eclair because of the pressure of "us", the tech nerds, and the service providers. The demand was there. Also, HTC has been churning out Android devices left and right. Samsung hd to do something quick before the opportunity passed. Hardware specs are excellent. The major complaint is software. Once they get their arms around that...smooth sailing. Too bad dual core phones may be out by then.

[APP] Tomorrow's Gas Price Today (Toronto-GTA Only)

Hi all,
For those familiar with TGPT (http://tomorrowsgaspricetoday.com/), I have written a small app that will check the site for updates and notify you of new prices. It also stores the prices in a DB so you can view the history.
At the moment it only works for Toronto-GTA because I live here and wrote this for me.
This is nothing fancy, it just works.
You can download it here.
Thanks.
cool, a small widget would make this even better
nice! thanks for sharing.

Originally I planned on making a widget. But then after I got the notification going I didn't think there was much point to a widget. Since I don't need it taking real estate on my screen when I already know the price from the notification. And once there is a new price, another notification will be generated.
I will try this out! Thanks!!
good stuffs! thanks!
Great start, just installed. Thanks!

This site you list is different than the one for Toronto. The Toronto site shows only a single price since almost all stations in the area are the same price. But your site shows prices for each location.
What exactly would you want to be notified of?
Damn, this kicks butt. This will serve me well when I forget to check the site before leaving work and shut down my computer. THANKS!

I think an extension for the Navigation app that show's the gas prices based on your location. It's rare, but sometimes you can find cheaper gas in different parts of a city

Thanks very much, it very handy. i always used forget to check price online before heading home. This give quick check on my X10
I'm having little problem the application though. it waking up device(turn the display on) every couple of minutes. I have put TGPT is ignore list(Advance Task Killer) and using lock2.0
any suggestions?

Might be a problem with lock 2.0? Can you try uninstall lock 2.0 and see if the screen still wakes?
Also, TGPT doesn't do anything every couple minutes. Unless you have the debug to always notify and force update every 5 seconds. Even then I don't purposely wake the screen other than creating a notification and toast.
Yeah if go to origional lock it doesnot wakeup but see tgpt running in task manager which should not the case. I check price, kill the app, it starts again in a min also i get error when restart phone for force close tgpt app
I'm using version.1 is there new version which i can download?

crimsondr, I gotta say that I've been using this app close to since you released it, and it has been working great for me being a fellow Ontarian. I did come across one MINOR issue/bug that I never have before, only because the stars (and time) aligned it as such.
I had my Desire connected to my PC in Disk Drive mode, thereby disabling access to the SD card. TGPT tried to fire a scheduled update (once every 12 hours, which is great btw), but couldn't read it's DB from the SDcard, and threw up a Force Close error.
While it's not a huge issue because you have to have your phone in Disk Drive mode when TGPT performs an update, I just think it might be better to have the .db file on the Internal Memory of the device, especially as seeing how mine is currently 4kb in size. This should get around the exception when the SD card cannot be accessed, thereby keeping TGPT from throwing FCs.
Just thought you'd like to know since it's something that doesn't happen very often, but still does cause an issue!
Thanks again for your work and effort in dev'ing this quick, informative app!

Make sure you have Force update disabled in the settings. Other than that I don't know what is causing it and I do not have an x10a to test.

I think what JH2 is is a test firmware leaked by Samsung or at&t but still isn't ready and has a quite a few issues yet still not completely fixing GPS so I say just use a different firmware for now. That's what I am going to do at least, JM5 here I come again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Doesn't JM5 come with it's own set of different issues? So far none of the issues I've seen with JH2 seem show stopping (unless you really need that tethering). I haven't personally tested JM5, but people's first comment on JH2 was that it was about equivalent to the latest i9000 ROM, and it has an advatage of being a full Captvate ROM and not being locked out of future OTA updates for us. It's too early to give up on JH2.
I see fandango and att code scanner are visible on the market

Can you tell us what it does with Market Access to allow you to see these apps.

just checked Market Access app its not emulating any provider its set to ATT default 310410.
Also i am not having any issues with JH2 ROM everything flies and way faster and better than JF6 , GPS is still an issue but better than JF6.
I'm on my 6th or 7th reboot and still no luck. Has anyone rooted using one click root, then tried unleash the beast and can confirm they can find these apps in the market? Is it even possible to unleash the beast method, after one click root? Or would I have to one click unroot then unleash the beast?

I am running [STOCK ROM] I897UCJH2 (Captivate) with unleash v.2 and can see all the above except colberts under at&t or tmobile emulation.
Dont know if you need to reflash ROM to reroot using unleash. Did you get a ROM manager backup after you installed [STOCK ROM] I897UCJH2 (Captivate)?
Here is market access apk. i used on original ROM
Wow so AT&T is filtering political viewpoints. Wonder what Colbert would have to say about that.
Shutoff wifi and searched and Colbert Reports The world shows up on stock rom, so likely its a protected app and doesnt recognize this roms fingerprint.

I flashed JH2 on both of my phones. Ran UTB with both and only could see these on one of the phones. I still cant see Fandango one of them and I went back to stock firmware with the superoot access. I wasn't sure why and I still am not sure why.

2.2 Finally starting to roll out to the US...

Samsung Vibrant to start getting Froyo on Jan. 21 -- as in tomorrow!
That's right folks... the Vibrant's party has just about started.
Hopefully we'll be within the next 6 months.
Sweet, can't wait to see if we get it too! Hopefully not within 6 mo like you say!
Still betting on St. Patrick's Day for Craptivate and AT&T.

I found the most interesting section to be
So what was the hold-up? It was purely technical, Brodman said—it wasn't about marketing, payments or sales. Samsung sent its base 2.2 upgrade to T-Mobile in late November, and with the holiday season, it's taken until now for T-Mobile to work out the kinks and integrate its own features.
"It was a quality control and timing issue," Brodman said. "The biggest challenge is integration and customization."
In the future, T-Mobile aims to update all of its phones to new versions of Google's Android OS within 3-5 months after Google makes the OS version public, Brodman said. The delay comes from having to integrate manufacturer skins and T-Mobile's own features, such as Wi-Fi calling.​
How long does it take to lock down the market, install and lock down bloatware, and take away tethering?

i would agree...i think AT&T has had it and trying to "fine tune" "bloat" it.
Also the have probably been hesitant to release it without a way to lock/disable the Tethering and Mobile AP stock features of 2.2.

Most people that report recent replacements have said GPS works fine. Never hear if this this the normal GPS works for 2-3 days after a fresh flash or they actually did anything to the phone.
Seems like Russian Roulette to me. Sucks your phone has the shutdown. Mine is within the range but only happens on I9000 roms. Good luck.

Yea, after using Cog and Perception, not so sure if I really want stock 2.2 from AT&T or not. You know it'll be loaded up with bloatware and have useful stuff stripped out from it, such as wifi and usb tethering.
But at least then DG will have an official ROM to start doing mods to.

[App] MLB AT BAT working on unsupported devices

I got the MLB At Bat 2011 app working for non supported devices since so many devices aren't supported that clearly can run it.
YOU MUST HAVE A MLB.TV SUBSCRIPTION TO GET THE GAMES!!
You also need to buy the At Bat 2011 app.
I have a nook color, but should work for any device.
I changed the build.prop to contain the fallowing:
ro.product.model=SCH-I800
ro.product.brand=verizon
ro.product.name=SCH-I800
ro.product.device=SCH-I800
ro.product.board=SCH-I800
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/SCH-I800/SCH-I800/SCH-I800:2.2/FROYO/EC02:user/release-keys
rebooted and worked. Should be able to chose any supported device and it will work. This is from the verizon galaxy tab.
I'm very much looking forward to trying this today.
Is there some sort of shortcut that could be made so we don't have to manually edit things every time?
EDIT: it's working! Though the supposed "HD" is far from it, and this is streaming over wi-fi.
I will be checking this out with today's free game of the day!
Now, I just need an easy way to switch the build.prop to watch the games.
the build.fingerprint isn't needed to be changed, works without it. Got it working on my nook color, pretty nice. Need to OC it and have a good fast connetion. Still not near HD though.
Good to know about the fingerprint.
Streaming is working great on my Captivate. Connected on wifi, close to HD after about 30 seconds, but if the connection gets bogged down, the picture loses quality fast.
Nice to have it working, clunky as it is...
I find I need a knead perfect 3G or strong wifi to get decent streaming on my droid2 and nook.

Will changing these settings have any unintended consequences for other apps or the operation of the phone in general? I have a Galaxy S but don't want to stuff anything up just for MLB At Bat.
nm, build.prop is a system file duh?
Congrats on getting this working, jkabaseball.
Are people getting the streaming working on CM7 Stable? I see that Nightly 37 was suggested before Stable came out. I'm on Stable now, and seeing the option, but only getting the white screen. I'm willing to try switching to 37, but it seems like there'd be no reason to do so, given that it's an older version. (Unless something was taken out before the stable release preventing this from working.)
Doesn't work on my nook with cm7. I even copied the signature.....yes I have sub also.
Cm7 installed on the Emmy
Sigh I had high hopes
I have been successful on cm7 stable on my HTC dhd. On a side note, anyone find a workaround to play blackout games?

Just wanted to follow up, and say a HUGE thanks for the info. I modified the build.prop file like you said, and now I can watch the Cardinals anywhere on my Samsung Mesmerize. Just a note it works great even though I am running Voodoo. The only thing that is different is my swype keyboard won't work anymore, says that it was not meant to be used for my device, oh well, I love Cardinals baseball more than swype so who cares!!

Other apps that require a specific build.prop might not work. I have a Captivate and the preinstalled Swype does not work while I an using the modified build.prop.
I duplicated my build.prop, renamed the duplicate build.prop.mlb and made the changes. Then when I want to watch baseball, I rename the real build.prop to build.prop.real and rename build.prop.mlb to build.prop and then reboot the phone. I switch it back when I'm done.

This might be too basic to ask, but - do you also have the paid app, rather than the free one? And is the sgs4g flash-capable? Those are also prereqs, in addition to the subscription.
The build.prop changes I posted is for the galaxy tab on Verizon. You should be able to use another device like droid2 build.prop and Skype should work as well. On my nook I thought the galaxy tab would be best.
Working on spoofing location. It mint be a little harder. MLB is pretty good at determining your location even through a VPN. I'm not sure if they are using gps location, which would be easy to spoof, or the network location where the stream is going to. I haven't got it to work on my pc yet, but will keep on working on android.

Google maps will not follow me.i have to move the screen to keep up.google navigation works fine..also co pilot works fine and it uses zero data so far im happy with the gps...on the captivate i have to start the gps test app. Before i can get a lock
the gps is very good but the setting can cause issues. i had some of the issues you mention, changed the sulp setting to auto config in lbs test mode and set it to msbased to match the secgps.conf file. i tried the google supl server but the gps was worse! the url is long for the server used in auto config so instead of writting it i just suggest you use the auto setting.
after that it works amazingly good, reception indoors is not as good as the nexus s or the atrix but the accuracy and lock times are nothing short of amazing.
also i never use wireless networks, it may try to fall back on it if you have a temporary reception issue and just cause major tracking issues. it is basically useless.
but that said if you always have the issues mentioned and not just occasionally then you may have a problem
Mine works great in maps.. didn't try tracking in Navagation but was playing with the voice on Google widget. Would say "navigate to dominos .Gonzales,la "and it would open Navagation but I can't here or get voice guided.
Does any one else get voice nav.

i used launcher pro activities. i didnt care to try dialer codes. you just need launcher pro installed. you dont need to use it as the launcher.

nope launcher pro free works fine.
I'm lost. But yes I get voice navigation. Seems to be an issue with Google maps and not navigation. Have any of you looked at the comments on Google maps in the market? Poeple using galaxy s devices have issues too. And come to think another it. Our device s basically a galaxy s device with out the lable... going to go switch it out tho. Get a new one and see how that goes.

I went through the same crap as you did yesterday.
Used Copilot , all settings were default (not using wireless network , only using USE gps sattellites)
Took 15-20 minutes to grab a lock ... litterally had to park the car to the side and stick my hand out the window on a clear sunny day (total bull$hit) ... once I got a lock as I was driving on the highway it would occasionally show me driving waaaaaaaay off to the right than I actually was.
I hate admitting but I'm missing my iphone 3g , had instant lockon gps times

the galaxy s has different gps hardware or drivers but it can work adequately, this can work better, swap it out. if the second phone has issues i'll walk you through some better settings for it. i had a lot of experience with the captivate and know some things that mess with it. this however has agps (assisted gps) settings that work much better than the captivate and i recommend using them, after that you will not want to use a different device.

that would be the "use wireless networks" feature, dont use that. gps is never that far off.
turning that off will force gps and it may work better, if not you may need to change the supl settings to get the nmea data to download. agps will also help get the nmea data to download fast from the cell towers and not just from the satalites or wifi. having up to date nmea data makes all the difference.
isnt that used for when wifi is around? so even if im not on a wifi network it wouldn't work? so its like pointless to turn it off or on.?

just turn it off. it is completely useless. i have heard that it works off wifi, but it seems to do something anywhere i go, most people seem to believe that it is cell tower triangulation, either way the accuracy i get from it is as poor as 3600 meters and the center of the blue area is about 1 mile from my actual location. it serves no usefull purpose at all.
On or off still doesn't help
