The GPS function works fine if I'm outside but after updating to the latest google maps the triangulation by cell towers isn't. I get, your location within 43000 meters which is the city of Los Angeles, I've tried several different options
1. resetting google maps
2. turning on/off A-GPS using advanced configuration
I'm not sure what else there is to try. Having google maps find my location with 500 meters was still useful while indoors and trying to map directions. Anyone have an idea what's causing this?
Thank you!
I have this problem too. I told Google about it, and it looks like they're working on it.
If you want to chime in on the CDMA issue and let them know it's not just me who it was working for before (they're shocked that a CDMA phone was getting a location w/o GPS) then go *here* and make a post
I'm having the same issue. I just added a reply to your google forum post.

and copy the lib to system/lib and after backing up, replace the Talk.apk (don't forget to delete the data first).. reboot and try.
Don't forget that you need to be rooted AND HAVE GINGERBREAD for that
New updated APK has front facing camera support! I'll check it out

If you go into details I "might" be able to help you. But "it didn't work" has "I don't want to ask for help anyways" written all over it...
'Worked' as far as I can see, without having anyone to test it with. I get the option to enable voice and video calls when changing my status, and 'voice call' appears as an option when talking to a contact.
can it use for 2.3.3?

Great The only thing I still have to try if video is sent from one Android-Talk App to another... It doesn't work for the desktop at the moment and it doesn't work for the front camera... that's probably why Google just rolled it out for the Nexus S... I hope they'll fix that soon!

I know i appologize for the short rude, it didnt work, statement.
I placed said lib in correct-is it replacing something or just drop it in?
Backed up old g app and moved at to external sd, then cleared data.
Uninstalled old app, and installed new app.
Nothing seemed to change for me, no voice or video options. Video option greyed out.

Try the new link, it contains the update zip with a patched version
under your status you find something like "allow videocalls" try to enable that

Works on OC 2.0RC1. Front cam and voice, but FC's everytime I switch front to back cam...anyone else experiencing this...
Anyone have any idea why I can't get write permission on the system folders? I'm using file expert with superuser access, but for some reason it just won't let me change access permissions on the system folders.
*update* nevermind. Installed root explorer and it worked much better.

Hi guys,
As you know, our i9003 is not able to make video calls (3G or wifi). In Gingerbread doesn't work in any app, and only Tango and only in Froyo. As anyone port gtalk with video calling for our devices? Or mod some app like Skype, Tango, Fring or Ooovo to have video calls?
For a long time I have contacted a lot with the support of Tango, Fring and ooVoo. I have sent videos, many logs showing the issue, all they have asked me. But they aren't able to fix the issue. Even look at ooVoo email:
"Hi Unkalo,
Due to Ongoing Problems With This device is going to be it removed from the market. I'm sorry We Were Unable to get it working for you.
ooVoo is also available on PC and Mac, I hope you can join us there.
Best,
Roberta "
No comment. Incredible, Instead to try to fix the issue, they remove the app from our market...
Please help, together we can do it.
They removed the app just for not making it work for SL? Is that necessary?

Nobody want to help with videocalls?
In the last days, I have been working with Fring and Tango support. They send to me mods of Frings and Tango, and I reported them the results, and I sent them logs, videos, and screen captures showing the issue, and they sent me a new version, I tried, and started over with logs, videos, screenn captures ...
Today, the results are:
Tango: In Froyo Ok. In gingerbread, fixed black screen, fixed rotation issue, and tango developers are working on zoom issue and audio issue.
Fring: In Froyo I think that green flickering issue, but I haven't been able to prove because I'm on Ginger. In Gingerbread: Fixed black screen, fixed rotation issue, fixed upside down issue, and fixed zoom issue. In Gingerbread after fix rotation and zoom, appears green flickering again. Fring developers are working to fix it. But they are working on it, and that's good news for our i9003, as developers tend to ignore our device.
Skype and oovoo. KO in Gingerbread (black screen) and KO in Froyo (green flickering).
Gtalk video: KO. If someone could carry a gtalk mod to our devices, would be the best of news.
I shall tell you of new results.
We really need to get Fixed VIdeo Call Issue on I9003
Skype, Yahoo..Paltalk video calls also not working. we can see others. they cant see us..
phone to phone video calls working on my device. but not on Internet video call
If you keep autorotate ON always also. camera freeze sometime.
I don't know why they don't want to fix this issue.. if u start Yahoo video call. phone just rebooting.. on Skype. only one side video working..
Expecting fix on future version!!! Lets all shout together..
Jei - Techsafe
XXKPQ 2.3.6
To see what's new today
Fring support sent to me this:
"Hi.
Our developers suspect it's a device driver issue or memory issue.
We'll keep Investigating .. I hope we find something.
I really want to thank you for your Enthusiasm and help, Could we have got so far Without it. "
Drivers or memory problem ....??
In addition, ooVoo, launched yesterday a new update, I've tried a video call to PC (I couldn't try with another i9003) and for the first time, the video works perfectly! Only with the audio I have a problem, that my voice is very very distorted ... You can try oovoo and report here your results. I'm ginger, would be nice if someone with Froyo can tell us how it goes.
Come on guys!
in ovoo front video is working but no sound and back camera
Hi Guys,
Fring support send to me a new version, and no green flickering, no audio issue and no rotation issue, only zoom issue. Fring uses 640x480 resolution (native resolution of front cam), with 320x240 no zoom issue but appears green flickering. We can almost make video calls. I show a picture:
But using the camera's native app, using the front camera on froyo, the preview image was similar to when there is green flickering at Fing (320x240):
but after upgrading to gingerbread, the preview shows different, like full screen . I send you pictures so you can get an idea:
I think that here comes the problem of zoom, can be caused by this.
This week will prove this version of fring with my girlfriend (she has a Froyo i9003) and see how it works.
But if successful, someone could port drivers or libs of Froyo, to work well in gingerbread?Any developer could try that?
What do you think about it?
Please respond any developer
PD. Here you have, but beware the fring.log, it is getting bigger and bigger. Can you tell me how it works in Froyo?, in ginger only zoom issue, but and in Froyo? Feedback please.
If you want you can add me as Fring friend, my fring user id is: unkalo

Thanks a lot for your dedication man! I'll try out fring and see what happens! Although I'm currently on CM7, and I can't flash anything for a bit, I'll give it a shot!
Again, thanks a ton for all you've done mate! It's been invaluable!
Update: the market apk was last updated on the 7th of Nov. So I'm guessing that they sent you a beta version? Could you please post it on here? Thanks!

I see you don't like reading too much
With the new version of ooVoo, at in gingerbread, video usually works well (if you have black screen, switch off cameras and it will works well, and if not send picture, hang up video call and call again), the only problem is with the audio, is heard very distorted and not understand anything. To fix it, up or down the volume of the call volume using the physical keys on the device, and that will fix the audio issue.
For now is the best we have so far, almost 100% functional.
wat about skype video calling
its more widely used then ovoo or fring

Hi Unkalo. by any chance, have you tried this one already?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18290748&postcount=1492
DO NOT download the latest one. Click on v11 and try that one out. you need to uninstall your current skype if you have one installed before installing v11. after that:
1. go to menu -> advanced settings -> force enable video calling
2. go to menu -> advanced settings -> use valid preview surface
3. go to menu -> advanced settings -> front camera -> rotation -> 90 deg
I haven't tested this myself but based on the loooooong thread I read, this might work. I'll give it a try myself tomorrow afternoon (i9003 is my gf's phone and I won't be able to meet her until then). I'll try to post back the result as well.
a little off topic, I can see you have gone great lengths to make i9003's video calling possible and we highly appreciate it. thanks man!
You can try it, try all options, and after post the results here. But I've never managed to get skype to work well with our i9003 ...

Try another navigation app like telenav, you can use it just for navigation and still use Google maps to search
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
try ndrive it works for mine
Search the problem out there
It’s google nav the problem. You have an issue somewhere in your phone. Try to other google apps and search the common point of this issue.
Instead of trying other Google software, you could also try other free alternatives. I've tried both MapDroyd and OsmAnd. Both are ok but the second one is a much more complete app that supports both raster and vector maps (Google Maps are raster, by the way), navigation, and routing; it is open sourced. However, I've noticed that OsmAnd consumes a lot of battery so I cannot 100% guarantee it'll suit your needs.

Hello everyone,
this is my first post so I cannot write (yet) in development thread.
I have installed CM 11.0 w/Espresso10++ 3.0.101. Compass was not working at all with 7-12 version, and now with 13-12 it turnsa around, but it is giving wrong position all the time. Anyone other with similar problems? Any solutions? My device is P3100.
Calibration (=rotation in all 3 axes) did not work.
Thank you in advance

Of course, I am just curious if only I have this problem. As i mentioned, I still cannot write in CM11 dev topic (<10 posts).
Other than compass, bugs that I experience are:
- dialpad won't show when I click on it (I have to click once again)
- ES file explorer does not recognize sdcard1 as an external card (works on stock)
Everything other works perfectly. I am extremely satisfied with this ROM. I use compass daily so I would like to hear feedback from the other users.
Thank you in advance
It´s a know Problem and Cody is working on the Compass problem
CodyF86 said:
(...)Ok so the geomagnetic sensor seems to be oriented, so that you can get a correct heading from it,
but for now you will have to select the option in the compass app you use to disable the accellerometer
as most app use it in conjunction with the geomagnetic sensor to help compensate for movement.
I didn't get to mess with the rotation for the accell sensor but I will play with that next.
I tested with the app called smart compass, Go into settings and scroll to the bottom
there is an option for the accellerometer, uncheck it and you can get a compass reading.
If the app starts in a weird orientation you can select settings then landscape mode to change
the orientation of the app.

I still need to mess with the accellerometer setting; This is with the opensource sensor drivers,(...)

sd card problem is there
dont worry will be solved soon
Compass works if you tell it to not use the accellerometer for now. Might have to use an app that gives
you that option. Also the problem is the the ES app. File manager HD works fine. ES has done that since
10.2. Use file manager hd it works fine, es doesn't seem to want to fix it.
