I have perfect gps

This was the last thing I was expecting from this phone. Did they finally fix it or am I an anomaly?

i dont know about fixing it because this is my first android phone but it works well for me too

today, I tried it out for the first time.. and omfg. it was fine for about 3 seconds, then it started jumping around on the map like I was teleporting or something.

That's what samsung gps usually does and what my gf's captivate always did. That was the reason I got her the inspire.

gps has been working perfectly for me since out of the box

I can't complain. Mine has always been perfect.

Same here. Never had a gps issue. Even at street level. Must have been fixed with the first ota maybe?

I get 15 sec cold locks with 9ft. accuracy all the way down to 4ft. after a min or so. my vibrant takes 45sec to lock with 20-40ft accuracy. (and thats with gps mods). id say they fixed it.

I agree. GPS was always my biggest reservation with Samsung phones. That and lack of a stable cm7.
When cm7 finally comes out for this phone I might sell my mt4g.

Refuse is like that person you know that's real cool, but your scared to talk to him in fear of something different.
Infuse is like that person that you can approach and has a very good and easy going personalty.
Not trying to offend any of the DEVs.

and then there is Bionix Infinity, who looks like a amazing person from far away, as you start to approach and talk it takes a sword and back stabs you...

i thought it was just me being a little [email protected]#!$ but no its actually slow, with stock its fast but here it just sits there usually until my screen turns off and then i have to turn it back on and the whole process starts again... kep in mind my screen turn on time is 2 mintues...

That's weird cuz mine works perfect. I can even lock inside my house. And its within 10 seconds

R3velation issue

First, sorry for the new thread & odd spot. I looked for 30 minutes to see if I was duplicating a question, but the search function on this app seems to do absolutely nothing. I also can't post in dev, yet; so I hope The Collective checks this forum.
R3velation works great, and looks even better; I'm very happy I gave it a look.
That said, I have 2 issues:
1. The battery drains FAST. Sitting idle with WiFi & Bluetooth turned off, I lose 50% of the charge in 6 hours. I'm still researching how to operate things like the voltage app that came with the ROM, but if anyone has tips I'd love to hear them.
2. The main reason for this post; sometimes when the screen is off, it just won't come back on. The only thing I can find that works is to remove the battery. Any ideas what this might be!?
Thanks to The Collective for this awesome ROM!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

Question 2 is a sod which they are working figuring out what is causing it. add for battery drain there is an app on the forums called better battery stats you may have to search for it on a computer to find it because i agree the search on this xda app sucks. But that app will help find the cause of the battery drain

Awesome, thanks! I'll look it up when I get home.

I'm having a major issue with R3V v2 and I need help fixing this ASAP because it is the best ROM I have flashed to date!!!! Everything works like clockwork except data. I can send text messages but any other app that requires a data connection does not work (no network connection). Does this sound like a modem flash error? X- I downloaded the ROM from your sig.

Have you tried re-flashing? I had a similar issue with a different ROM on my tablet. Re-flashing the ROM fixed it.

Yes, I had tried re-flashing the original ROM I had downloaded for Experiments signature. That file might have been faulty? idk. Last night after posting about my issue and not wanting to wait another moment to enjoy this awesome ROM I did some research on XDA and found a post where Nun had a link to download R3V v2 but the file had the letter "F" at the end so I figured it to be a different file. Long story short, a little late for that huh? IT WORKED!! Thanks to the Collective, especially Experiment for this splendid ROM.

I know, right? This ROM is the nicest I've seen for Android, yet. Run R3velation OTA, and look at some of the further mods you can get for it. Under "Themes", there's one called "Mongo Toggles (blue)" by X and Mongo41. It looks VERY sweet. The light amounts of blue mixed with the beautiful toggles for the quick panel are awesome. I need to get in touch with them and ask them to make one that has purple in place of the blue. I'd never need another theme if I had that, heh.
Glad you were able to get up and running.

Did you battery life ever smooth out? There is a typically a period of three days or so where you need to wait for a rom to, "settle" before the battery will calm down. Then it should start acting much better.
The SOD issue is one that has been driven to the point of extinction. I ran R3V for a long time, and had no issues. I am now running another rom, and I am having issues. It's all what your phone likes and doesn't like I think. Good luck figuring it out man.

It's still draining fairly quickly. I didn't get that battery stats app, because it's a pay app, and I don't have the money until payday.

[Tips & Tricks] Battery Power Saving on Samsung Infuse

I had the same battery trouble as you. I flashed the KL2 modem over the LB3, and now my batty life is hundreds of times better.

Thanks for the heads up. I just put the KL2 on the phone, we'll see how that does me.

Maybe it's my imagination, but this modem seems awesome. Battery life seems to have tripled, and I'm not dropping calls at the dead spots in town. What all does the modem cover, just phone & AT&T data? It doesn't handle Bluetooth or WiFi, does it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

As far as I understand, a modem is only responsible for pulling the voice and data connections from your provider. The best explanation I've found on it is from this thread here:http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22913686&postcount=1

That's what I thought (I had originally misunderstood, and thought there was a modem for voice, for data, for WiFi, for Bluetooth...found out a couple weeks ago that was wrong).
Anyway, that KL2 modem is great. I've only lost 13% of my battery in the last 9 hours with WiFi, Data, GPS, and auto-rotation all turned on. This is as opposed to 50% in 8 hours with WiFi only turned on. (Idling both times, as I was asleep.) It also seems to not be affected by the same dead spots the other modem had, as I didn't drop calls while driving past them like I used to.

I keep getting a FC when trying to open play store help please

L2 modem
has anybody flashed this modem over a stock setup (rooted of course)

GPS doesn't play nice

First post in this forum, coming from both HTC Desire HD and Motorola Defy forums.
Just got a Atrix 2 from the market place and I like it. I was having issues with reception on my HTC phones in my basement. Someone suggested I try a Motorola because of they get great reception. I bought a Defy and sure enough 15 -20 dbMs better in my basement.
I just couldn't get use to the smaller screen on the defy so I picked up this phone to try it out.
My issue is that the GPS works, no issues with maps, nav or GPS status and tools. However, faster fix and my golfing app won't work? Faster fix just sits there with a white screen and my golfing GPS app tells me that my settings for the GPS are wrong?
Anyone else with these issues? I have my phone rooted but haven't flashed any new roms yet.
Thanks in advance.

Wow, over 200 views and no response! Am I the only one with this issue?
Would be nice to know if flashing a different rom solved this issue as I'm still on the original. I thought I would wait a couple of weeks before I started flashing again as it's been a nice break, lol.

I am having the exact same issues but with my jogging apps. None of them can get a location for me.

Awwww. I just had a similar experience. I dropped mine down a service elevator shaft... Don't ask. I still don't know how it happened. So far so good on the ROM. I'll tinker more in the morning.

Hi, not is just me but screenshot not working, power+home.
When doing the picture, the keyboard does not show smile icon etc, just dark keyboard. That's all I found so far

LOL I'm not sure I'm brave enough to be the first to try this out. XD

I just meant that I've been out of the flashing scene for about a year until recently and this phone has a different method, plus the fact that it took me 2 days to get everything backed up, set back up how I like, etc. I've lost my nerve I guess. I used to be a serial flasher of roms back in the Eris days. New rom that nobody's tried yet? Sure thing. These days I'm even hesitant to flash something if it's tried and true and nobody is seeing any problems. Plus the fact that my hardware is messed up. (I dropped it in water twice by accident and the screen also broke in a separate incident)

Damn, still working after water twice, nice! Just do a backup before, so if you don't like it, you can restore everything you had. And, if your S-ON, remember to flash boot.img separately.

Yeah, it's a good thing I always keep rice in the house in easy reach. But the phone is fine except that neither camera works. Pretty annoying seeing as the camera is so awesome on the HOS.

Will be definitely trying this, I was wondering, you think this might help my losing signal issues, getting the X all the time it's driving me nuts lol. I am with Cincinnati Bell but i think they work through T-mobile. Anyway thanks for this bud much appreciated.

ROM looks great man, downloading now and will flash tomorrow. Hope I don't have the WiFi issue anymore, reaaally wanna use this

I'm having the same gps problem I have with Viper; when you go to a site thru Chrome that desires location access, gps never turns on! It turns on for Maps and other things when you test it, but not through Chrome. Browser works tho, strangely...

Sounds like a Chrome issue maybe. I haven't touched any GPS items yet, so its either Chrome, or something T-Mobile jacked up.

Are you pressing it quickly or holding it for a few seconds. Mine works perfectly, but you should be pressing Power+Volume Down, which is stock for this ROM.

I think I may have found the issue with Chrome...I believe I deleted a ChromeBackgroundSync apk on accident. This may be causing the issue...maybe not, but I'll put it back and test. If it works I'll release an update tonight...if I'm not lost in Double XP Weekend on Black Ops 2
