I have your fix to all GPS issues.
NOTE: You will need to repeat this every time you flash a NEW ROM. You only need to do this ONCE per rom.
NOTE: If you GPS works DO NOT DO THIS!
Step A) Download and install : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&feature=search_result
Step B) Run it
Step C) Clear AGPS data.
Step D) Let the gps status LOCK! Make sure NOT to skip this step. Let it do a FULL lock.
Step E) Go into maps and profit.

Um - that means it's not a fix. A patch/workaround/method/etc. might be a better term. Not saying it doesn't work, but please stop calling things like this a fix. It's a fix when it actually fixes the problem.
and it's already been discussed as a "fix" in numerous other threads...

you should do a search and thanks the 7 other post with the same exact info and who knows even donate to the creator.
as for the OP saying let the haters hate.... not really hating but its just annoying. What if every member posted the same thread with all the same info.... and top it off put it in the wrong section. i know im exaggerating but it would be annoying and it also hurts actual development related ones.... just something to think about

Nope - not at all. Glad you got your GPS working. If you had looked, you would have seen that there are plenty of other threads on this issue and probably would have already gotten your nav working sooner.
Like it was just said - having yet another thread on this issue doesn't make it any better of a "fix." That's not hating, that's pointing out the obvious.

Thanks a bunch dude...worked great for me....no haters here.....man the things that come about when your just trying to help people out with a problem or a fix.

Well I havent seen this yet.
To the OP, thank you very much for posting.
OP, notice my avatar? Its been like that for over a year. Lots of haters here bro, just do your thing. Thanks again.
So many whiney little *****es... Its not up to you to worry about which section its posted in, if you feel its in the wrong one, report it and ask for it to be moved. Dont start a public flame war... so lame.
BTW, search was down for a while, so it wouldnt have mattered. Search always seems to be down on this forum. So you cant blame him for posting if the search function that everyone cries about is always broke.
HGH

this doesn't work for me on BAMF 1.5 or Tesla coil... So far nothing lets me GPS lock closer than 2300 meters without a 5 min or longer wait in maps.

Glad I helped you.

Thanks

I looked for the thank button and It does not show up for me so I want to thank everyone for all the work they have done in getting gingerbread up and running for the sgs4g. Also thanks for every piece I use and the links to everything I needed.
I may be a noob at this but I managed to get everything running with out posting stupid questions. The answers were all in the threads that I was using.
Thanks again,
S.T.

I don't think you get a thanks button in any forum you can't post to, yet.
And yeah, the last two gingerbread releases have been close to pure sex. These guys here at XDA do an amazing job

yea, the answers are usually within the threads. a lot of people dont bother searching the entire thread anymore because they get too long, so the same question is usually asked 10x in the same thread. not really a problem, though. im glad you got everything running by reading.

Unable to add Voice Search to home screen - FIX

In the ICS-Bugs thread I has posted that I was unable to add the icon for the Google Voice Search app to the home screen or dock.
Well, after playing around a bit I found how to do it.
Previously, this was done the usual way: Long press->shorcuts->Apps. But for some reason the app was not listed there (I'm guessing this is because it is no longer an app but an integrated part of the android system.)
So, to add it, you have to do:
Long press->Shortcuts->Activities->Voice Search->Voice Search(.RecognitionActivity)
Voila, you have your microphone icon added.
I hope this helps someone.

Just long press the search button

Helped me.
Yes, long pressing the search button is great, but for those of us that were USED TO having an icon, it's great to still have the option. Thanks,

Ok, I just prefer less clutter. Why use an icon or widget when you already have a dedicated button for it?

Relax, some of us like coke, and some others prefer pepsi. Either option is fine.

Yeah, I've seen you poping around on a bunch of threads *you* don't like. I didn't know you were some kind of thread police or something. Good to know!
Keep up the good work, man! keep us safe from things you don't like!

I try to keep it clean around here. A little search and reading will answer almost all questions with no need for all these duplicate and nonsense threads. We just report the threads and then the mods delete them. It makes a mess of things and it's hard to find worthwhile threads will all the stupid threads around.

Ever consider that by posting into the "stupid threads" you are only propagating the "stupidness" -or should that be "stupidality"? I always mix up those adjectivers.

Okay, you have got to search more effective. There's a number of different threads regarding this, and you have to be willing to give more information (as much as you can, and even more -even if you feel it extraneous) so that we can help you! Firmware, current Android version, are you at least rooted or not? Give us as much as you can, so we can be as helpful as we can.
Furthermore, as aforementioned, you need to search. Most all of the ICS threads have stayed at the top of each forum for over a month now, so there should have been no cause for a new thread asking about it. You have to be willing to do the "leg work" on your own. This isn't a daycare, and we're not here to hold hands of those who can't manage to do the most elementary tasks on their own accord.
I'm trying to express the necessity of searching here, and not trying to "flame" you for posting this, but c'mon. Do for yourself what the site has employed tools such as the search bar for you to utilize to avoid rants such as this one.
Might I also suggest you read THIS THREAD to help you along your way.
Happy searching, your answers are already out there...

Yea there sure is a way to get MB865 to ics Just click this here.....

[Q] Great Big Yellow Droid Binary Downloads?!?

Well I turned off my phone today to stop a download of some binary that started while I had my phone in my shirt pocket at the doctors office today. Anyone have any clues as to how that download started and what it was? I stopped it mid download by powering off the phone and rebooted before it could actually start installing whatever it was. The phone rebooted just fine and is working with no apparent problems but I'd sure like to prevent that from happening again!

Wrong forum. Belongs in the Q&A section.

And that's all? No clue about what happened to my phone? You could have just reported the post to get it moved (which it was) without posting a completely unnecessary response that had nothing to do with the question! :good: Good Job Sport!

Ok so I apparently did something with my nipple to put the Infuse into download mode in my shirt pocket. Guess I'll just have to be more careful about that in the future.

LOL! Well I'm new round here. I figured SOMEONE would know about the great big yellow droid screen and binary downloads and what they were for. I found the answer by searching on "Accidental Download Mode" here in the forums.

Glad you figured it out. Being new you'll find that searching the forums and doing some reading like you did to find your answer is gonna help you the most. Once that is exhausted, the kind folks here are usually more than happy to offer their knowledge and expertise to help you fix your problem. Most issues already have an answer and solution like you discovered...although there are the occasional weird things that boggle the mind

Well I'm no stranger to the search function but from the title of my thread it should have been quite obvious that I was so Newbish that I didn't even know I was in Download Mode. Just telling me that would have given me the keywords to search on. Sometimes a little nudge isn't too much to ask.
