GPS lock takes long time :( - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

GPS lock takes forever. Some times doesn't even lock. Anyone else having this problem.

Get GPS Aids Donate app, download new LTO file. Also, calibrate compass and pitch and roll using the GPS Status app.
Allow 10 to 15 minutes for first lock either outside, in car, or near a window if indoors.
Report your results here for further diagnosis.

Also, there were some great posts from cnote/jager/etc earlier when I was having a lot of GPS trouble. I'll post links when I get to a computer.

I rerouted my GPS through a Sony system instead of googles. Seems pretty snappy but i'm still testing everything...

Check this previous post for how to use GPS Aids Donate. In general, GPS in KJ6 is much better than in previous GB builds.

I pulled lbsTesMode.apk from an old ROM. Using supermanager, I went under apk manager, sleceted lbsTestMode.apk, then activity and selected the shortcut icon the first entry (.lbsTestMode) to make a shortcut on the homescreen. Went to my homescreen, selected the new icon; went to SUPL/CP Settings and put supl.google.com for the server. Then I dialed *#*#INFO#*#* selected phone information and scrolled down. I hit the refresh button and checked what was in the SMSC box. I then replaced that with 07913121139418f0. Since then my GPS takes about 5 to 7 seconds to get a lock. On some phones you can make those changes by dialing *#*#3214789650#*#*, but for some reason I get an FC when I dial that (it's service mode).

[FIX]Your GPS will work! Update!

Here is a flashable fix for GPS. It will put AngryGPS into your system folder.
This is the only thing that has worked for me with every ROM I've tried.
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/GFYVVOWRB0
Reboot to recovery
Flash Zip
Reboot.
Go outside. Test GPS with an app that requires it. Give it some time to lock on.
I take no credit for this. It was sent to me by a friend. Just passing along.
Update: thanks atb1183
what black magic is this?!
wow, phone use to take 30s to a few minutes to get a lock. this and other roms
then i make a shortcut (add > shortcut > activities > angrygps> ...angrygps)
run that, click on tracking test
another 10s and i get gps lock. now all apps get gps lock almost instantly.
i can actually get gps in my work building that cant even get 3g, 4g, edge, or even voice signal without repeaters running.
I hope other devs include this sorcery in their roms as well. and somehow make it run automatically daily to ensure awesome GPS

This method will get you a lock inside in seconds with like 5 meter accuracy. You can make the shortcut using launcherpro. Other launchers may work. Thanks again atb1183!

Yes, with every thing I've ever tried it will lock but it takes 5-10 minutes. I have tried various tweeks that have been suggested with libtestmode, gps aids, and gps status. None seem to make any real difference.
When I saw this thread I just flashed the zip on top of what ever state it was in, and again I don't see a difference.
So I'm wondering if there are optimal settings needed to take advantage of this zip.

I had a semi fresh flash of octaine on my phone before flagging this, nothing special and it worked like a charm. Maybe reflashing to clear all of the other things you tried will help.

CM10 Latest Build GPS

For some reason my GPS won't lock, I am aware that that all of the previous issues with the GPS were fixed with Scott's latest builds, however for me its still not seeming to work. Can someone help please? Give me some tests to run or something?! Lol, I hope I put this in the right place. Thanks.

From time to time, with no rhyme or reason some users find that the first lock can take a long time- from 20 mins. up to in 1 case overnight. Once locked it seems to be fine. GPS Test is as good as any, free on Google Play. Best not to have wi-fi on.

[Q] BeanStalk Q&A

These aren't development questions, so I wanted to keep these out of the development thread. Anyhow, I just installed BeanStalk, and I just have a couple questions, and probably more later, and probably other people will, too, so here's a nice thread for everyone to ask their BeanStalk questions.
Anyhow, question 1: I installed the themed MMS and Contacts package on initial install, but I'm not really diggin' it. I'd like to just go back to stock. So, is it just as easy as flashing the beanstock.zip in CWM just as I installed the beanthemed.zip, or is there more prep involved now that something is already in place? Does anything need to be uninstalled first? Or can I just power down, re-flash the new zip, and be good to go?
Question 2: I like the lock screen widgets, however, I'm not a fan of the camera widget on the lock screen. The problem is, it seems to be quite permanent. Does anyone know how to remove the camera lock screen widget?
Thanks much.
Hi guys. Might be just my phone, but I flashed the 4/10 build and my cpu was pegged at 98-100% and never dropped. Battery stats showed media the culprit. I tried disabling it with Android tweaks, but that didn't work. OS Monitor showed "system" at upper 90's. This was draining my battery faster than I could charge it and it was hot of course. Had to revert to 4/1 build. Is anyone else seeing this? If not, maybe I'll try again. Thanks!

I agree it doesn't sound like the same problem he or some others were having,but it is known that there is a problem with that build. May be showing different due to installed apps or any number of reasons.

Constantly Reboots!
Hey Guys!
I am having a constantly reboots on my XT925 nearly every 20 hrs.
I have read that user need to have a logcat in order to have a look at the background process and it is hard to catch as logcat cleared on every reboot so i used catlog application to see my logcat
Whole Logcat : XT925.ZIP
Some Exception Logcat attached as a screenshot but i recommend you check zip file.
Please guys i want as assist from developers in order to determine the cause of this reboot, Please Please Help Me
Hey guys am not a developer and i know nothing about it as i bricked my phone using font installer and after long long search i came up with custom ROMs and all these stuff
Device : XT925
ROM : Beanstalk 8
Android : 4.3
Recovery : OUDHS
Bootloader : Unlocked
I'm having battery problems. I get it charged fully, but it doesn't last no more than 2-3 hours. Also when I restart it suddenly shows a battery life of 12 %, and even then, the 12% goes up to 16% all without a charger... Then goes back down again for which i have to recharge or the phone dies. I tweaked around with the battery settings on android tweaker pro, and it's not helping.

[Q] 2 unlock screens on CM7, and old market?

Hi, I have 2 problems which I cannot find the answer on XDA.
First, I have 2 unlock screens for CM7.
I have the slider lock, which then go to the pattern lock.
I only want the pattern lock.
Second, I have the old android market, not the new one I had before I flashed CM7. Is there a difference?
Anytime I download a new app, it says "Packaged file not signed correctly cannot complete" or something along those lines. I searched how to fix this and it said to use Titanium backup to uninstall the app in question and reinstall. Well.... I don't have facebook installed and it says cannot complete. Any suggestions? Maybe try a new Gapp?
Can anyone link me to a better Gapp than the 2.3.7 Gapp on Goo.im
when you originally flashed cm7 did it take you through the Google account setup? Where it asks for your gmail account and it syncs all your info? I had a similar problem when i first flashed cm7 but i didn't have the market or playstore installed AT ALL lol. I would recommend deleting the gapps and downloading a fresh one. Do a complete wipe in cwm and reflash everything in this order.
1.rom.
2. Kernel if you want, recommend mazouts latest oc kernel runs great.
3. Baseband fix zip file.
4. Gapps.
This should fix the issue.

Go to settings, open cyanogenmod settings, then unlock options, then tap "skip on security" to fix your lock screen problem. As for the play store, the thing the other person said should work.

Lol. Ok and also does your phone ever overheat? i have the extended battery thing you know and my phone keeps freezing then going to the LG screen and just staying there occasionally. prolly every few hours it does that and i have to take the battery out
The only problem i experience over heating issues is when I'm using wifi calling over a crappy wifi connection. For some reason when it loses connection while its asleep, the phone falls into a sleep of death or SOD. so when i press the power button nothing happens, screen wont turn on the phone starts to heat up ans drain the battery like no other. I have to remove battery and reboot phone to fix. Does not happen often and only when using wifi calling over a crappy network

[Q&A] [Official] CM 10.2

Since there isn't an official thread for Q&A for CM 10.2 I figured there should be one, so I'm making one. Here we can list out bugs, issues, ask questions, etc. without cluttering or thread hijacking with other Android 4.3 projects (like what was happening to the CM10.1 and beanstalk threads).
I am testing the first official nightly and have discovered the following bugs/issues:
1. After setting up my phone and installing all my apps/etc, it will only boot about half the time. (major bug) I am having to hold power and vol - and pray it will boot THIS time lol I don't have anything exotic on my phone just apps downloaded from the play store. This may have something to do with the CM10.2 theme I am using. **Is more stable using 9-27 nightly and 6.0.3.8 CWM**
2. Screen will often not wake when power button is pressed when the phone is already on. (known issue)
3. Speakerphone mutes mic, you can hear them but they can't hear you (known issue)
4. For me the initial CM setup froze and hot booted (minor issue) ***Should be fixed as of 9-27 nightly, need to confirm still***
5. Compass, etc isn't working properly (known issue).
6. Dark theme for mms.apk (I don't think this has ever worked right...)
7. Selecting 'details' on an image in gallery crashes gallery. **Fixed as of 9-27 nightly**
8. Intermittent issues with the camera. Sometimes it will not start up.
What works:
Camera/Video (and you can finally select the sd card to store these files using the default camera) **having intermittent issues with the camera using the latest nightly**
Data/Phone (using any ICS blaze radio or the UVMC6 sgs2 radio)
Pretty much everything else works flawlessly...
If anyone else has anything to report, or as these issues are resolved, I will edit this post to keep anyone wondering what works/doesn't work with the official 10.2 nightlies where we are.
Also feel free to ask/answer questions related to CM 10.2 here

The initial setup screen froze after I pressed next and hot booted, but worked flawlessly after that.
I changed my theme and rebooted and it would not boot past the Samsung screen. Power and vol- and it rebooted and actually booted. Seems like anything from the system folder being changed will cause some serious issues from what I'm seeing... Even if its just changing the theme. IDK if that's just something with 4.3 but I could modify a ton in the system folder in cm10 and it would boot just fine.

They work, but it may take a few tries to get it to boot (it did for me anyway) if you shut the phone off or reboot for whatever reason.

Which recovery and which gapps are you using? I'm using the 2013-08-13 gapps from here.
Did you wipe everything (data, system, cache, davlik) before flashing from whatever rom you are coming from?
Other thing you can try is wipe data from the play store and remove your google account and try again.
Let me know how it goes!
I needed to update my gapps, thank you for the help. All is working great

Great job by everyone who made this happen . only thing I would like to see is bln if possible. I know we had them on cm10. KT and others mentioned there was issue with wake locks and bln was disabled. Other than that everything else is smooth and functional

Is there a way to access the developer options without using an app? Don't see it in the settings. Latest nightly working great so far!

I believe this started with 4.2.2 but you have to go to settings>about phone and then tap the build number 7 times. After three or four times a message will appear telling how many more times you need to press it. Then developer settings will be unlocked.

That is correct. I forgot about it until I flashed it on the blaze. Had to double check my wife's s2

Cool. Thanks.
I noticed my light sensor acts a little reversed.
In well lit areas or outside during the day, I can barely see my screen because the brightness is too low.
At night time, the screen is the brightest it can be.
I've disabled auto and enabled it back but no change.
I haven't done a clean wipe when I noticed it but then I decided to do a clean wipe and it still happens.
Anyone else notice this?

So far the only issue I've seen is the camera wigs out. So do other camera apps I install from the market. When I'm in the camera app the screen freaks out almost kinda like how the tv would flip out back in the day when you were flipping the slide switch from the RF adapter to put your tv in game or antenna mode when playing an atari or something.
It also says, "you must insert an SD card" but I have one in, and it works. So I dunno.

I haven't had the SD card message but I have had intermittent issues with the camera not starting up. I'm going to add it to the issues list on the 1st post and get a log in the dev section later tonight.
It seems that once the camera won't start up you have to force close the gallery or use the lock screen functionality to start the camera to get it to come back up again.

Well, I think my SD card issue is actually related...to my SD card.
It works, but man the write speed on the thing is SLOOOOOOOW. Even if I take it out and put it directly into my computer, it takes forever to write to it now. No idea why, but I guess I'm having bad luck with these things. I always bought cheap SD cards before, but ever since I bought this 64gig card (back when they were like $150) I've had nothing but trouble...Sandisk has replaced it twice now!

It's similar to CM10 to me. Stock ICS has always been the best for battery life though.

Depends on how you use your phone.
