GPS In Bionix ROMS camera app - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Does anyone know why the gps gets activated in the stock camera apps on Bionix Frost and Bionix Black Ice?
Also I can't figure out how to disable it. There seems to be no option to disable it. Can we? If so how.
Thanks

I could've sworn this happened on the stock roms too, but are you talking about gps getting enabled even though you had it off, or the gps icon popping up

I'm talking about it getting enabled even though it is off. And there is no way to turn it off in the app.

Main settings/location and security/ then uncheck everything in my location. That should do the trick

GPS not locking

GPS no longer locks after flashing black ice. Should I be using the old original GPS fix? BTW...best ROM ever...Krylon/Team Whiskey rocks!!!

I'm actually having this problem as well with bionix frost. Everything else works flawlessly.

I think I'm gonna apply the old fix later and it should work ok. I'll post the result regardless.

I applied the sgstools fix, enabled the gps, but nav still would not lock on. So I opened maps, let it find my location and settle in until it was accurate, the opened up navigation and it worked fine... No more "Searching for GPS"
Might work for you also...and it's an easy fix.

I see that other people in the black ice thread are having the same problem but I can't share your fix with them as I don't have enough posts for permission in the developer theads...would you share this with them? Thanks again

i searched for sgs tools on the market and it only came up with the capitavate sgs tools. is this the program which you guys are using?
That is correct

Hmm. This fix worked for a few minutes, but when I restart the phone, no more gps lock/navigation. Weird. Thanks for the info.

i followed the instructions using launcher pro and set it to "auto" and it seemed to work. i still have to wait a while to get a lock sometimes, but thats tmobiles fault. they suck in my area. hope this helps anyone else having this problem.
EDIT: It only works once. does anyone else have the locking problem for bionix frost? i can try to reflash my phone and see if that fixes it.

You sure you didn't turn it off by accident?

Does it not work with anything? Or just a specific app? Some apps allow you to specify for that app only, even if it differs from the system setting.
It doesn't work on anything

Maybe have accelerometer went bad. Have you tried anything besides autorotate that uses that?
On YouTube I have to double tap the video to get it to play full screen. In the browser I have to put it on portrait mode only. I can't look or take pics in portrait mode

Have you tried a factory reset? If you get to the point where you tried everything else I would back all your data up then try that.
Which rom are u running or are u running stock?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I say try the bubble level app. See if that seems to work right. That will tell you if there is something wrong with the accelerometer. If that is bad, that would explain why it isn't sensing what way it is being held.
ya what rom are you running cause it might be within the notification bar the far right notification in weapon rom it has it in there, if so, try clicking it and then going to landscape mode.
Stock 2.3.3

I don't know what I did, but I went into my account then auto rotate started working again
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Did you install a rotation widget, turn off rotation, then delete widget? Re-install widget, reset, then delete.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Are u on the weapon rom? Cuz I did turn mine off by accident I pulled status bar and figured out it was the last setting on the right, I had same problems as u pics only in portrait etc. I'm telling u it prolly got switched off by accident

It makes it to were you don't have to put in the whole Static Info. You can just connect and go. (And connect to other wifi spots without changing stuff)

I shall do some digging on the ringer app. Not sure if its possible. But will search now
Great work dj sherlock

I did a few tweaks. But I haven't found an app that forces ring (as I thought)
EDIT: TWEAKS DIDNT WORK. Probably just gotta wait it out. I tried.
Did you also try FXR WiFi fix & rescue?
Now all we need is an app that opens music player when a call comes in. Then we'll have a ring... ;p

That's what I was thinking... and no I didn't
You can actually do that with tasker, not sure if it'll do the trick though..
Is it "Weficonnector" or wificonnector. Was unable to find the former.
Thanks.

[Q] I am on gb 2.3.3 rom. Gps constantly active

I am running infused gb rom 2.3.3 and I notice my gps icon flashing 90% of the time I use my phone. Even when I shut the gps icon off it still is flashing. Anyone else have this issue? I should not have any application checking this this much.

This has happened to me a few times, fixed by a reboot. I was wondering the same thing. Closing all active apps changes nothing either.

Yeah I've definitely rebooted many times. It's been happening for a bit now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I'm thinking it's my HD widgets app. Downloaded it and never even ran it before but kept running in the background. Closed all apps and as soon as that one started running again it was accessing gps. Uninstalled. No app should be accessing that that much especially when I've never even ran it before.

What is this screen...

And how do i keep it from coming up? It shows up randomly while plugged in and it goes to it everytime i hit the home button. Ive tried resetting all defaults on any launchers and any accuweather apps. The only way i can get rid of it is to either hit the back button all the way to the home screen or reset the phone

Ics has an option under settings. Display. Weather. To enable or disable this.

I think that is your dock screen. I had that problem with a powerskin battery. The phone thought it was in a dock. I replaced the powerskin and it went away.
