Seasoned Samsung Vibrant users,
I just got today Sept 30th my Samsung Vibrant, I hope that this GPS problem that I have it's just SOFTWARE and not HARDWARE problem and you may tell me with your experience / suggestions what this is about.
Before the Samsung Vibrant, I was using a HTC Mytouch 3g slide, the GPS on my slide has been very accurate, what I can tell you is that from my bedroom My slide detects properly my home address using Google maps, with Samsung Vibrant usually gives me an innacurate location using Google Maps as well.
I have turned ON the wireless and the GPS on Samsung Vibrant as I did the same with my htc slide and on Samsung Vibrant gives me around 40 to 50 meters difference with a wrong location,
I don't want to use WIFI because it’s not the case, why on my HTC Mytouch 3g slide I don't need WIFI also I won’t have WIFI everywhere where I go, so I want that the Samsung vibrant works at least the same or better than a HTC phone GPS hardware.
so my question Is that a hardware problem or software issue?
My HTC Mytouch 3g slide never fails where I'm in my bedroom or other place where I go and test it and this Samsung is getting me out of my nerves that isn't accurate at all.
HARDWARE or SOFTWARE problem?
If it is software I will wait, but if it is hardware, I’ll be very disappointed.
Thanks I really appreciate your answer about this issue,
I have 14 days to test it and if I'm not happy with it I can return it depending what this problem is.
OMG please use the search function.
It IS a software issue... vibrant is well knows for its gps to be messed up.. the new 2.2 is coming out in approx a month and it will have a gps fix and also make ur phone faster plus alot of other things

I have been trying to refrain from jumping on people for stupid posts, BUT ...
The gps issue has been an issue with the Vibrant since day one, and there are most likely hundreds of threads on it already ....
I know it is a little scary but that search box does not bite ...
Hell a google search of "Samsung Vibrant GPS" should tell you all you need to know ..
Come on people use some common sense and search first, at least pretend to search for the sanity of the rest of us ...

ROTFLMAO! Too True!
Oh no, my Vibrant might be messed up????
Really??
Welcome to the real world!
Been bad since day one.
Wow, everyone is being kinda douchy here. All you have to do is root your phone with one of the many methods, install clockwork recovery and flash either the JI2 GPS fix or this one which is the same thing but uses the JI5 files instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796654 Good luck.

Douchy? Douchy , not sure what that means but I am sure it applies to ones who do not search or, fail to see that this question/answer is in about 100 other threads.
NO problem helping people, but you can really only help those who help themselves ...

No i agree with you. I dont think I ever post questions here. I usually use my friend google and figure it out myself HOWEVER I also remember when i first got my very first android phone "G1" and was soooo lost at where to even begin. To the OP... they are right, you can find most anything by searching. I guess I only said that because some people just get plain rude. Not necessarily talking about you watcher64. Your post wasnt bad, just didn't really give any answer.

No offense taken , I just remember the old days of the forum, where this was a place to come learn, not to have the answers handed to you.
Seems everyone is looking for the quick fix these days, and really do not want to learn what they are doing or HOW it is actually done, then yell and scream at the people who help them that they broke their phone ...
EDIT:
Just to clarify I was on here almost 2 years before I asked more than a handful of questions, because 99% of the answers could be found by reading and searching, so it does get annoying that so many people want spoon fed these days.
It took you longer to write about your problems than it takes to search .

I love anything that starts with, "All you have to do is..."
Like all the other supposed GPS fixes out there, these don't necessarily work either.

I would agree with you some fixes seem to work for some people , other for others, but they do work, it is just a matter of finding the one that works for you ...
If none work, then may be time to exchange the phone for a new one ...
Yeah some ppl take things Way too seriously of some posts duplicate threads get over it. Everyone is not familiar with this stuff damn we have all been there. No need to sit there and put someone down for not knowing

There is a big difference between not knowing, and "NOT EVEN TRYING", that is the biggest complaint ...
How do you think most of us here got the knowledge we do have, we looked it up, if you work a little for something, you will tend to remember it in the future...
This is a place for Development, and Education , not hand outs, never has been, and should never be taken as so ....
But I digress, you are right why should anybody here give a damn ....
OH because if nobody gave a damn, the people that get ask the questions would not know the answer either ....
No you speak the truth ppl should research, I had an off day when I posted sry if I sounded like a jerk. I do plenty of research on my own b4 doing anything to my phone, and if I brick it I have no one else to blame but myself. For example I have been researching the whole flashing with odin on my spare time, which isn't much still haven't got comfortable enough to try though. I just felt like the guy was getting slapped around a bit too much that's all.

Good to hear and welcome.
Feel free to root your phone and flash a custom rom.
Few things first.
There is no way to s-off your phone at this time. We're working on it though.
No ETA.
NEVER ask for ETA's from developers! Since most don't like it we try to encourage others not to even ask.
ALWAYS search and read the forums before posting a new thread or even posting a reply in a thread. This will keep you from getting flamed.
Once you get a decent amount of knowledge and experience please share and contribute with the community. That makes my job (as moderator, not 24/7 tech support) a lot easier.
Enjoy!
Thanks! I dont plan on rooting/custom roming for about another month, ill take my time to warm up to understand what S-Offing is and what not. I do know my cousin bought an HTC Amaze to which he installed custom roms/kernels. I am not very demanding so i do not mind. Stock rom is ok, and i hope to see the development grow for this phone as its pretty new

Well,your question was very stupid and my answer was accurate.
Deck is still getting cm9 running so I'm sure when he desides he will switch to the jelly version when CM does.

The number 1 thing developers hate is when people ask questions like this. When something is ready, it will be released. I'm sure you're not the only person lurking around these forums that wants stock jelly bean on their device. Let them do their thing and be patient. Hell, they are still baking stock ICS roms, so JB will take a little while longer. Keep being pushy and I'm sure you will end up on someone's sh*t list. Just giving you a heads up.

and its people like you guys like get there a*s kicked cause they just like to run the trap. im not one to talk trash but when someones a smarta*s to me over a simple question then all bets are off. it was a simple question that anyone who had any info on if a build is coming could have answered. exactly the answers i got from you kids i could of gotten from a baby. aka your being a smarta*s so whatever...
You come in here asking a question that is religiously flamed for and hope to not get flamed? Wow. Everyone knows not to ask for ETAs, and if you wanna talk so much smack back how about you port it over yourself.
Posting in a soon-to-be-closed thread! :victory:
Also OP, sorry you got flamed! I would guess a ROM will be out at the latest by the end of 2012 or such. I'm no dev, though. Patience, padawan!
Expect a working SDK port by the end of the month or a little ways into August. For the real deal, I'd say a few weeks after a device with jelly bean is released

as the other guys say this type of question is the few of the ones you dont ask. when a dev puts it out, it will be announced. and im sure a few devs who love senseless roms are rushing their little fingers to put out the code for it, hell the HTC ONE X international got it last night, but i know that because i like to keep up to date on my phones.
but i dunno, i gave you 2 answers and you weren't happy, here is a 3rd.

I was just giving you a heads up about the way you were asking. I don't bash people here, but some others will without hesitation. You, like all the rest of us, have and are wondering when things will get ported over and become available, but we all must be patient. The devs hate when you ask questions like this because it makes them feel rushed, and when they feel rushed they either take longer on the development of whatever project or they completely abandon it all together. Again, wasn't trying to be a smart ass to you dude, just didn't want to see you get flamed here. Like the rest of us, just be patient.
There is nothing wrong with a question like this. What I understood from the question was the OP was asking if there are any plans on it which is a legitimate and friendly question. Most question that are "If" are okay but "when" is not so good. I am wondering IF we are going to have it one day versus I am wondering WHEN they will have one. No issues with this question at all.

finally someone who is not just out to say something mean or smart to someone. and exactly what he said...im not asking "when is 4.1 going to be on our device, i want it now and it better be flawless".......NO im just simply asking if anyone has heard or talked to anyone THAT'S IT!!! so many ppl on here just out to get ya and its kinda sad if ya ask me but whatever its all good. anyways to the few that gave a good response thank you. no thanks to the rest....

first off i didnt mean to hit the "thanks" button i hit it on accident going for the "quote" button. but idk who your talking about because if you could read you would of seen that i wasn't asking for an ETA. I was asking if there will be and if its even possible to port something from another phone like the "gnex" over to our phone. and last if you would read some more of this thread you would see that i wasn't the one running my mouth so dont come at me like that saying i was.
Doesn't matter if the op was right or wrong in asking his question. Let it be...
I will never understand why people have to flame someone/be a smart ass behind their computer on these forums. You can say whatever you want concerning the original post, but it doesn't change the fact that your response was unwelcome and completely worthless. If the op was wrong, let it be or let an admin reprimand him. I don't see any of you "flamers" with admin status. No matter what you say, your response was worse than the original post.
To the OP, jellybean will get here when it does. Will it get here soon? I hope so! Honestly, no one knows, there are too many factors that will effect the timing of a JB stock rom release. Rest certain that it will arrive eventually.

Just be the bigger person. No need to get all fired up. You will see rude people around here and in every forum. No matter the question rude and smartass comments are not called for.
This is a very new phone and it will likely get 4.1. So I am sure the one you want will end up here it will just take some time.
As for not being a dev thats fine. Look up the source for it and some threads on building AOSP roms and give making an AOSP a try. Who knows maybe you'll like it.
Good luck and dont mind the rude ones here.
Also porting from the Gnex would likely be not an easy task but I am sure he probably has a git for it.
yea actually i have been trying to learn code and script and all the aosp stuff. its crazy hard lol but i know man ur always gonna have haters on here that's for sure. but thanks for the comment.

Hi everyone!
Anyway, my name's Wolf (that's what people call me) but my username is Bad-Wolf, obviously.
So, I got this phone for my 13th birthday. Best present ever. Never gotten anything like it. I used to have a HTC Wildfire S, but unfortunately, it got stolen. Link in the description. So I was left without a phone for a few months, depressed, and angry. And I was inactive on XDA for all those months. It felt like I lost my place here. I was quite known in the WFS forum, and I even developed a simple ROM, but I'm not going to name it because if I want to make a ROM here then I want to use the name again. I was also (trying) to make a simple kernel, but then it got stolen so there was no point. I'm quite a noob by the way.
So, I'm going to be here for quite a while, looking at threads and learning. Which is going to be really difficult because there's like a million threads. So if there's anything you think I should see, please tell me.
I applied to be a mod quite some time back, but I didn't get accepted. But I was informed that I would've got the job, because my application was awesome, but they're keeping me for reserve, and I might get picked if they need mods soon.
Also, let's talk about my (social group) TDOT. Which stands for "The Devs of Tomorrow". This was a group that I made a few months ago, and now is growing, and has 50+ members. It's for kids like me who like developing, or want to get into it. I'm currently making the website, and we're still working. But it's a great group, with great people.
I suppose the only work I've done with Galaxy phones is I quickly rooted and unrooted my Mum's Samsung Galaxy S, and I nervously put stock ICS on my Dad's Galaxy S2, using Odin. I was really scared, because I had never used Odin, I didn't want to brick it, and it was my first flash on that phone (after like 100 on the WFS, lol).
I've heard about all the Apple v Samsung v HTC drama. Apple has had a truce with HTC apparently. And I've heard of Samsung jigs, read a bit about them. They do something like force the phone into download mode or something, very useful for resetting the flash counter, and other stuff like that. Also, they can get you out of bricks, if you got a bad situation, maybe even a USB brick (not sure about it).
I want to learn as much as possible.
That's all I can remember to say for now (I'm forgetful). Anyway, I hope I can make good friends here, like I did on the WFS section, and maybe get into the small developing scene.
Sorry if this thread isn't in the right place. Sowwy. So I made up for it by writing all this!

Hello, aleays nice to see new young devs, I hope you feel at home with us
To root you will want to flash cf root in odin to do this dowbload the package, extract the zip once (it includes odin).
Put the phone in download mode, open odin and end all kies processes, connect the usb and odin should say added. Click the pda button and add the .tar file that was in the zip, make sure repartition is NOT checked and click start when it reboots you will be rooted.
To reset the binary counter use the triangle away app either on play store or free on xda.
I'll add links when I'm on my laptop until then search and thou shall receive

Thanks guys. you lot are nice. I thought I'd get spammed saying things like "So what if you brick it" or "Look it up yourself". Anyway, I'll do some more reading. Then I'll get my game face on.

You can join TDOT if you are under 16 years old. That's pretty much the only requirement.

Hi Wolf.first of all congratulations,you got a really nice present
2nd place, l would like to help you,if you need.why do I say that? Because,I'm a flashaholic and besides the fact that also got an S3 I would like to learn how to make some Rom's and maybe learn a little more about developing,and also because I have a lot of spare time,whenever I'm at home or at work
If you're interested in getting helped with that and maybe some advices in some apps,themes and mod's,I would love to help. Anything you need,you can hit on my gmail:[email protected]

Even better. I have a nice Ubuntu installation, so maybe you can teach me stuff.

Hello all, I've had this phone for quite awhile now, and as we all know... IT'S SLOW!!! The only cure would of course be a custom ROM, however in our case, LG decided it'd be a great idea to shoehorn badly optimized software, sucking up TOO much RAM right out the bat.
I've tried the primary way, which involved flashing v20b, the necessary zips, and the command, which failed miserably. I'm assuming that the server or whatever that "sent the unlock command" is no longer active... and my phone was 05\2013 meaning it was suppoed to work. Devs must now dig deep into the code itself at this point as far as I know... Has everyone already bailed out or is there someone still working on it.. Feel free to start a new discussion here as well. :good:
What do you guys think? Anything?
There's currently no other unlock methods and there probably won't be any as the devs will move on to less restricted devices

As mentioned above, there is no new method, I would suggest giving the old method a go once again.

Curses. Thanks, I'll find a day to attempt to do it again.. but I'm usually busy alot too.
Yeah I'm still working on my guides sometimes but its getting pretty dead here since no one can unlock their bootloader. I figure if my guide explains it all amd they can unlock using it there will be more activity here.
I finally received my parts for making a 910k cable...
Gotta wait till next weekend, hopefully I can unlock this thing. Somehow i'm beginning to doubt i'll be able to....

It was yours I actually tried. I liked yours much better than the old one because it was actually laid out much better. Only thing I can think of is trying the 910K Cord, I'm awaiting user feedback before i spend money I don't have. hmmm...
Please

Was not fun at all.
I think we have to wait until DarryDoo comes back, he seems to be the only one who knows how to flash it properly.
Unless there's a big and obvious truth that i'm overlooking.
So I tried the Locked BL CM9. It was marvelous, I got the screen working and everything, but the camera and rotation are backwards. I use those two quite alot. :crying:
I wish someone could port 2nd int CM11 over to our phone.
I'm going back to stock in the meantime, I might try again tomorrow.
I wish

Yeah i know what you mean. it was awesome but just those two errors made me stop using because I too use my camera alot. Hopefully somebody will... anyone..? Sucks I don't know how to at all though. Otherwise I'd be on this as a main project

Did you have any problems with my guide? If so, please tell me where because I would like to make it better.
Sorry I've been away, personal crap has been overwhelming.
I still haven't tried to unlock 2nd phone, maybe this weekend or Monday. I'll fully document the process.
Cheers

There was nothing wrong with it, it was just likely my luck. because the Unlock command didn't do squat.
I understand

Dude, I understand what you mean. Gotta have priorities in check. That'll be great! Thanks! Maybe have pictures just in case some people have the wrong gear or so.
