last evening I unlocked my samsung captivate using Nwolf's method.
everything worked and i was happy until i thought of checking the network status using the code #7465625#..
the response i get is "rejected".
I searched the for this problem on the net some people were talking about turning the "mobile tracker" off.
i searched on my captivate for this option in location and security but there is no option as such (to my horror).
is anything wrong with my captivate? i have faithfully followed Nwolf's instructions to the letter.
somebody please help...
FOUND SOLUTION i missed the * before #...
but still would like to know whether other captivate owners have the "mobile tracker" option in "location and security".
No, never saw 'Mobile Tracker' in there.
ok that's something to relieve me. I was thinking may be i made some mistake in the process.
thanks a lot.
I have it. I'm running Andromeda 1.0.
Hello guys, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
The app is currently in open beta here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
I dont have a nexus one and need testers urgently!
I tried this and it works great. No problems installing, may need some kind of setup guide, but the help was good. If you want to ask for more details gtalk me webluke @ Webluke.net
Sent from my Nexus One
We dont use gtalk im afraid, so i would be greatful if you could just post here or PM me!
We now have additional reject methods (a prep build is on itrs way in an hour or so and i would like to know if peoples routing troubles are solved.
There will be 2 new reject methods!
Updated, let me know if your issues are fixed please!
tested
heyy I used it for a while on my nexus one and found that it worked perfectly. But, the main problem is it reduced my cell phone reception badly. I was unable to get good 3g signals. It kept switching to edge. If this problem is rectified it would awesome!
Im not sure if this was RCB at fault... its not an issue we hear about. Did you ever actually send any logs?
The app does not interfere with the phones connectivity. It only drops network once at first run and thats all.
Hi, the latest update is working flawlessly!
Guys, test please today update. It's looks like more stable!
nope sorry if it was a false alarm i did not send in any logs and but i found that problem on my phone. I tried it out twice and the same thing happened in both the cases. But, the call blocking feature is working perfectly. I am running rod's miuimod 3.3.3 version.
Good to hear... please leave a nice comment on the market!
Awesome!!
Tried it again, just now. Looks like the problem's been fixed. Its great!!! no signal drop nothing.
Im glad to have helped! Please, leave a nice comment on the market to that effect
I already did

Thanks, always good to be appreciated!
superb kudos
Thanks, please leave a nice comment on the market, or get the donate version
Hi guys, any feedback on the latest version of the app? We are just about to release an update...
only issue I see now is that when i restart my phone, the program doesn't seem to start automatically like it should.
The first call that I receive, the signal drops (I can't answer the call) and then it seems the program starts up... and the prompt "program has been granted superuser permissions" or whatever comes up.
I can avoid this by opening the program manually after restarting the phone... but doesn't this defeat the purpose of setting the program to start up on it's own when the phone is restarted?

Shouldnt be happening. Send a log. Use "write to developer" in settings. If you dont write a description, i will ignore the letter.
Hi everyone,
Running a galaxy sII lte, rooted on official 4.0.4 and my carrier is Rogers. I believe this is the same phone a the skyrocket so I hope I'm in the right forum.
I have a problem with the GPS on my device, or maybe the option is not available on my device I don't know. I did some research about it but still couldn't address this problem. I turn on my GPS signal and it tries to locate me for hours never actually pinning me anywhere on the map. Now I don't have a data connection, but the maps are all cached to my phone, it's the pinning that doesn't work for me. My question is, is my phone capable of doing this without a data connection? If not, what makes an iPhone different that it can do this? Why even have a GPS toggle if I'm getting limited through data?
Thanks in advance!
First off, let me say welcome to xda! Also yes u are in the right section.
Secondly, look for the "agps fix.". It will address the issue with non-locking. With it, I went from 20 seconds to 3.
If that doesn't work look for the galaxy nexus GPS fix, its pretty much the same as agps, which I recommend u try first.
Lastly, caching of Google maps is frankly, [email protected] U need a data connection to use them. For offline GPS, theres really only one app capable, sygic. Look for it in the play store. I have no experience with it so I can't comment on its effectiveness.

Hi!
I totally agree with Icenight89. I also have the Rogers' Skyrocket (the model number is SGH-i727R; you can verify this under the battery inside the phone), and I got problem with GPS position locking. It took about 10 to 15 minutes to lock my position; after I applied the fix, locking takes seconds.
Google Maps needs an active data connection -- be it WiFi or a data plan from Rogers -- in order to guide you through the maps. Caching just takes an instant of the map/area you want, and allows you to view it while you are offline. Without a data connection, though, you won't be able to, say, search for a specific address, look for restaurant/gas station/touristic attraction or get directions. If that is what you are looking for, you might be interested in another GPS navigation app.

Thanks guys, the patch worked wonders!
I wonder if there is a fix for those that don't root, because doesn't that take away one of the key functionalities of the phone? Was this addressed in jelly bean?
It looks like the GPS is working wonderfully for some people, but awfully for others. I had no problem with the GPS when I was on stock Gingerbread. I did not stay long enough on stock ICS to tell if the problem started when I upgraded, I went pretty quick to CM9 nightly, and I had the GPS to work not so good. Applying this patch was like night and day, now the GPS is working great.
So no, I'm not sure that this patch will make its way into a stable ROM -- in your case, Rogers' stock ROM. You may want to take a look at Rogers Community Forum and ask if someone had problem with the GPS. If a lot of people report GPS malfunction to Rogers, Rogers might consider patching its ROM.
And about your other question: I don't think there is a way to patch the GPS on an unrooted phone. This patch write/replace a system file, which means you have to have root access to apply the modifications.

Technically u don't need a rooted phone, merely a custom recovery on Samsung based devices, which u can flash via Odin, and reflash stock after but yes, in principle u are correct. U cannot use it with a non-stock phone
Thanks everyone that helps a lot!

They all work with everything from GB up to JB on multiple models...
Most of them require root permissions or a custom recovery (CWMR) to install.
Hope this benefits SOMEBODY, I spent a great deal of time researching this...
I had similar issues with my galaxy s2.
There is a free app in the play store called "gps status".
Tools/manage a state/reset
Fixed it.

Hi everyone, I made this post because I hope someone can help me out.
I rooted my Nexus 5 to give "Fake GPS" admin rights because I needed to do something with it.
Once im done, I uninstalled fakegps, but my GPS is still not working. It constantly try to find out my position, without managing it, even with enabled wi-fi. I would like to avoid flashing a ROM again. Thanks to everyone who reply this!

Similar issue with WiFi can be fixed with the following:
1. Delete /data/misc/wifi and /data/misc/dhcp
2. Reboot
Give it a try.
Still not working, it endlessly looks for my position without getting it :/
I'm in a bit of a pickle. At some point in the last week I did something or put something on my phone that's now occupying my camera and preventing me from recording anything. Pictures still work. Whether this means something is recording, I don't know. I disabled the camera with another app, but that's no solution.
I'm not rooted. I need an app that can log at some level what apps are using my camera so that I can uninstall the offending app. My wifi also recently started disabling itself during use, and I can't figure that out either. If you know of something that can inform me on both problems, please do pass that my way. I've been unsuccessful on my end so far in my search.
I just don't have enough information to troubleshoot these issues, the only viable option I have atm is a factory reset, and that's not a solution, it's just a shortcut.

The same thing happened to me, Turned out Google Now was causing the problem however It's been resolved now for me as i have it enabled again
Allowing "Google Now" voice detection "From Any Screen" seems to be the culprit. Set "From Any Screen" to off to take videos.

It doesn't seem to have been fixed for me yet. I just verified that's the cause, that's a relief. I really like that feature, how unfortunate.
My wifi hasn't been disabling itself today, but how would I troubleshoot it when it does? It's a really annoying problem, I don't tend to use data.

I'm not entirely sure what's causing your WiFi problem, However to see if you can recover the Google now feature make sure your device is up-to-date and your app is up-to-date, Have you tried Rebooting the device :/ Really Not sure on the Wi-Fi buddy

Thank you, I'll post a separate thread if it reappears. My phone locks itself whenever my wifi is disabled or I'm disconnected from my home network, so it's quite annoying. Much thanks for everyone's help.
