I don't know if this is in the right area so if it's not please move it. I know there is a lot of questions revolving around the GPS for the Vibrant.I was just curious to see how you guys are getting the best performance from your GPS using Bionix 1.3.1. So please post and tell me, my GPS sucks and I've tried all fixes that I know of including the hardware fix. THIS QUESTION IS FOR BIONIX 1.3.1 USERS ONLY THANK YOU!!!
Nobody ??????
Pretty sure it's working here without any tweaks. What is it doing?

Mine worked great on Bionix...
Mine works great with bionix after i got the samsung gps fix off market
my gps never worked until they sent me an exchange. now it is amazingly good. i even tried walking from one end of the driveway to the other using My Tracks and it had me the whole way. i think one night i even locked on to 9 out of 16 birds. i never even heard of anyone seeing more than 13 birds! sometimes when i first turn it on it has me a few blocks away but within ten seconds i'm locked on. even works pretty well inside. the warranty exchange definitely did the trick, although i believe i got a brand new phone, who knows? definitely a hardware issue IMHO

Any idea what kind of accuracy you get?
It will find sometimes up to 13 sats, but from that point it will never lock. I've left it on for 30 minutes before trying to get it to work. It never wants to lock though. The accuracy is always terrible to, it always ranges from 3500 to 2700 meters never gets below that.

Yeah, that is terrible. Did your GPS ever work? (Before Bionix)
I got it to lock one time. I had to leave it on for 45 minutes though before it would lock and after that it never locked again. I know this is one of the devices mfg before OCT 2010. I already called them and they want me to send it in. If there is a fix that I can use to get it working before I send it in though, that would be great.
Oh and I have tried the gps restore app from the market and that always fails too.
That sux :-/
Delete gps data. Change gps to cold Start. Reboot. get a good lock.change gps to hot start. Reboot.
If that disney help, try hethens gps fix

use a-gps is fast.
Well .. It's a little bit awkward, because everyone here says gps on bionix 1.3.1 it's working well but mine sucks. Utterly bitterly sucks. It always says "could not get your location" and stuff..
Mine works great with Bionix 1.3.1 & Sgps. I flash it at the same time I flash Bionix. I don't know if it makes a difference to do it that way. I'm also running Overstock. I can usually get a lock in 5 to 20 seconds even indoors. I've had lots of trouble getting it to work in the past but Sgps seems to work for me.
PS: Before launching my GPS app I use GPS test to get a lock then launch my GPS app of choice.
Hmmm... Sgps? Where is that? I'm gonna give it a shot.
Okay I guess I'll just have to send it off lol. I've tried all of the software fixes and I've done the hardware fix and none of that has helped in anway. I think the GPS in there is just bunk lol. Thanks for all your suggestions though guys. I appreciate it. Well a week without my phone, I don't know how I'll live.
en，GPS also drove me crazy at first，but when I reset APN without any software，it‘s working perfectly~
I sent it off couldn't find a fix that worked. Oh well hopefully it comes back working. I just don't know how I'm going to survive a week without my phone
Hello,
I have been having some issues with the Gin-Sen-Tazz Rom for Eris. First of all, this ROM is AMAZING. It is extremely smooth and easy to OC my Eris on this one. The only problem is that my data just drops on its own. Now, I've been wanting to list this on the [FIX] 3g Data drops on GB Sense Roms Thread but couldn't due to my less than 10 posts (or post it on the actual Gin-Sen-Tazz ROM thread). I'm not sure if my problem is the same as those on the [FIX] 3g Data drops on GB Sense Roms Thread. I've done those steps but still it just drops. The way it does it, usually when the screen is off and after a while of inactivity, it just goes out (the whole 3g/data). As if I manually turned off the data. When I try to turn it on (either via the widget/shortcuts or through Settings) it just say "turning on..." but doesn't. I have reverted back to a different ROM but remember something saying about..."Radio" something something in the "Wireless Networks / Mobil Network" check box. The data will never turn on unless i Restart the phone and even then it turns off after a while. I've installed the ROM MANY times, done all the wipes, all the Reverting Back to Stock and all that and avoided doing the *228 AFTER the ROM install. I'm hoping one of you genius' who are inventing these things, and by the way - GREAT JOB! could help me out. Please let me know if I need to add something to this lengthy question.
Thanks!!!
Does data work alright when running stock 2.1 after flashing Flashback21 v2?
I'll post a link to your question in both the 3g data drop fix thread and the Gin-Sen-Tazz thread so more people can come and help you figure this out.
Thanks for putting this in the dev forums for us... I'll have to load up gst in the am and check, but if I'm not mistaken, there are some powersave settings that might affect that. I'll report back tomorrow.
thanks!

I'll do some digging around when I get a chance too. What radio are you using BTW? Not 100% certain its that but I know on inc certain radios don't play well with gb sense. I know when I was running gst with the hero radio I didn't have and data issues but I did with the radio from Eris ota. I'll do some digging though and see if I can find anything. One thing you can try in the meantime though. Instead of rebooting, have you tried switching airplane mode on for a few seconds then back off? Doing this usually got my data back on for me instead of having to reboot.

The 3g drop is a known issue w/that rom. It happened daily to me the entire time I was using that rom. If you reboot the phone, like the others said,you will get the data connection back. I think the airplane mode trick works too.

Yes, Sir. Works like a charm...I'm using xtraSENSE right now and it works great. I've noticed, you know how on some phones/ROM's you can go into settings and have it automatically turn off data after so long of not using it. I've had that option on my Thunderbolt (when the screen is off) and when you turn on the screen the data connects, well, its kind of like that, except, it never connects and the setting reads something like "Connecting to....." can't remember the rest. I've noticed the xtraSENSE automatically disconnects data but connects perfectly when I turn on the screen.
Thanks!

CS, yep I've tried the Airplane mode. When I do that, the mode turns on, when I turn it off, the data still does not connect...as far as Radio, I'm not sure where to find that (I even tried googling it). However, when I used that link to revert ALL back to stock and there was that option to do the radio thing as well, I did that step, too. I hope that helps and thanks a mill!

Yep, Powersave Settings lol that's the name I was looking for on my previous post. And that's a great way to explain it. I think, if that ROM had an option to turn that powersave feature off, I think that would be nice only because it would not turn off on its own. But that just seems more like a shortcut and I'm certain that, for you guys, its a piece of cake to get to the root of the glitch.
THanks!!

Yeah, I wish it'd work for me. Its a great ROM, I'd put up with it until it would get fixed.
yea post 3, 4 idk 5 more minutes
I'm ganna try turning the power save feature off on this Rom and see if that works. Great idea, never noticed that before. Only thing is for me it seems to happen more often when I receive a text or a phone call when my phones locked (or "off"). I did notice that when my phone is active and I'm using it, I see the data turn off (3g icon disappears) and I just get my phone signal, whenever I recieve a text or phone call. I have not noticed this before on other roms. But then again, I have been known to be very un-observent before....

Dunno if anyone is still following this thread, but I've had a small breakthrough with the data drop issue in the sense gb roms 3g drop issue. I had power saver mode disabled all day yesterday and my 3g never dropped! Still to early to say if this is actually working or if i was just lucky, but in my experience my 3g would drop at least 1 time a day and sometimes more. So far so good. I will report back again in a couple of days of testing to let you know if this is a working "fix".

This is real weird. As of last week sometime, my phone will stop all data connections or wifi connections after about 6 hours post reboot. The only way for it to work again is to reboot. I'm assuming it's an app of some sort causing this because I did a fresh install and the problem is persisting. I have uninstalled all new apps I've installed over the past week as well. Anyone have anything similar or possible solutions? Running CM7 N214 & DCs 8.9.1.

I was actually seeing this as well, but not consistently enough to report it. Was happening on all the nightlies I'd been on after n13x (which was one in the 15x range, and a couple 20x ones). When it did happen for me, it was usually about the same time of day, so I think it might have been on a 24 hour cycle (I don't normally power my device off, so it was probably hitting at 24 hours after the reboot to fix the last one). The strangest part was that the connection icon color would continue to show a google connection, and if I was on 3g the up/download arrows would light as I would expect. Just no data traffic. Was running DC8.9.1 on all of the above nightlies.
this is not so much of a wifi issue but i did loose my data connection twice in the past month. the first time i was outside and i wanted to check my email but i couldn't. i was abel to send and receive texts messages and was abel to make and receive phone calls but no data was available and no internet. i try re booting the phone but still no data. about two hours later i check to see if i have internet, and it was working all by it self. not sure if this was my phone or a AT$T network thing. the second time i was leaving from my home wifi to my AT$T 3g network but the data connection was unavailable, no internet. but this time a reboot fixed it. i have had my aria for about a year now and this has never happen before. this may vary easily be a network, cell tower thing and nothing is wrong with my phone.

That definitely sounds like a network issue because it's not repetitive or consistent.

Hi,
I've been having the wifi/data drop issue since 2.3.7. I was hoping nightly 242 would solve it. No mas. Lost data connection after ten hours. Flash 208 and all data/wifi issues disappear.
Stock kernel. DC's kernel doesn't seem to affect the issue for better or worse.
Will keep lurking over at the developers forum...
John
I use the stock kernel and I think this problem is affecting my Aria too. Wifi usually doesn't die until about 2 or 3 days.
Flashed 243 and DC's 8.9.2a kernel yesterday. No data loss all day and was still connected this morning when I woke the phone up. Just flashed 244 and 8.9.2a. We'll see how long connection lasts.
John
I had to reboot my phone running stock 242 today. Wifi showed connected but the Market took almost 60 secs to open. Opening "my apps" didn't work. Reboot cured all.
The problem has been narrowed down to drowningchild's kernel. If you are using this kernel, just reflash your nightly to revert back to the stock kernel and all will be fixed. To follow this problem since it is not fixed yet, refer to this kernel's thread in the development section.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA Premium App
For me, the problem started with 2.3.7 and continued whether I ran DC's kernels or not. Flashing nightly 208 eliminated the problem, but of course, who wants to go backwards?

Did you do a full wipe when going Fromm 2.3.5 to 2.3.7? I haven't heard of anyone with stock kernel issues.

I'm pretty sure some over in the "Nightly builds starting!" thread mentioned drops with the stock kernel.
No, I didn't do a full wipe. So far, I haven't noticed any drops since 244 with DC's 8.9.2a kernel. Fingers crossed.

Oh, ok. I just didn't recall any, but I could be wrong. I think for best results, you need to full wipe when going from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7. Also, I have heard that 8.9.2a is still dropping for some with the recent nightlies. I have had no problem with the stock kernel, as I did a wipe when going to 2.3.7.
I was the one having probs with the stock kernel, but a format and flash of 242 fixed it. Been running fairly good since then.
I did a full wipe and flash of N245 + DC 8.9.2a tonight. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. So far, GPS locks in less than 5 seconds.
FWIW, I also did not flash the very latest gapps, the 08282011 version. Does that matter?
John
OK, the big drop came about fifteen hours after wipe/flash w/8.92a. Airplane mode toggle did not bring connection back. Flashed N245 again. This time I'll try the stock kernel and see how it goes.

Hey XDA
I've a problem with my SGSII.
I've tried a lot different roms like CM7, CheckRom, Oxygen, miui to find the perfect rom to fix my battery usage(my phone usally last for MAX 1 day, even on low usage. (Is this normal??, my friend get like 5 days with his SGSII)
Anyway, on pretty much all of the ROMs above I've occurred a problem with my internet connection - When my phone is idle for a while I looser internet connection and then I have to restart my phone to fix it.
Anyone with similar problem?
Is my phone defect?
Any way to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
This is my first thread on XDA, I hope I did it correctly (I've checked out suggested threads btw)
the problem with the internet connection is because of the signal is not resetting itself. You can use signalreset (market) app as a solution otherwise flash a stock firmware ROM from sammobile and see whether the problem is solved!
My Wi Fi stops working the same way too. All I do is that I reconnect WiFi from the notification bar.

Thank you for such a great and fast answer!
I will check out Signalreset asap, however if it just en/disable flightmode I am not sure if it helps. Because when it happened I always try en/disable flightmode, without luck - I have to restart to make it work :-/
Soo... it's a generel failure in some deeper laying hard- or software, that's not dependent of the generel software-version.
I'm starting to hate my phone, as it is loosing connection again and again, but only after updating to KI8_NEE. There has not been ANY problems with KI3_NEE, which worked perfectly and rocksolid - and solved the same problem from the previous versions... KI8 may be smoother, but i prefer stability over this generel failure (there's a lot of generel faults, not just lost data-connection).
If that the case, i'm going to smash this phone, or put KI3 back on it... i have been so happy with it, but after upgrading to KI8 - i'm starting to develop a hate-relationship with it...
My old HTC might be slow - but it is dead-on stable...
After trying the signalreset it still doenst work properly.
Any suggestions?

Would these patches work with our Fascinates?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442032
There is a google specific patch that the developer claims should work with most phones on pretty much any ROM.
What do you guys think?
FYI this is what I posted in that forrum:
Holy GPS Batman! I flashed the google specific patch in cwm and now my phone locks into my position in like 2 seconds. Also, the accuracy is up to 3 meters, which I have never seen before in my phone, the best I have ever seen is 9.
So the patch has greatly improved the gps in my phone.
Samsung Galaxy S (note is not S II, it is the first generation galaxy S) on USA Verizon Network.
Thanks for the patches!
the google one works great and cuts my lock time in half when on a stock rom...on CM or MIUI it doesn't change anything but then again i haven't had a GPS issue with them in a long time.
So would this work on teamhacksung's ICS?
used the google patch on the powerwashed gingerbread. seems to be working well so far
I dont think it would make any difference on ICS. I have had faster locks on ICS than any other rom I've used. From a clean flash I got a cold lock in around 10 seconds and was down to 2 meters in under a minute...pretty fast IMHO

I hit the button, but I can't thank you enough for finding this patch and posting it!!! It's completely fixed one of the most glaring functionality problems this phone has had since the day I got it! Now it only takes 2 seconds to lock on from inside my house! Before flashing this, it wasn't a matter of how long it would take to lock on, it was a matter of it never locking on.
Between this patch, the SC3 GB rom and kgb kernel all the gps functions now work as they should have to begin with, with no lockups and instant gps lock. Nice!
Oh man I'm so glad, I had the same issue. Darn phone would never lock into my position.

Try the google ALTERNATE patch. That one worked even better for me.
Same thing with the alternate patch. No locks. Wiped davlik and cache. Shut GPS off and turn it back on. Nothing. I think I have bad hardware. This issue is the only one I've consistently dealt with. Might be time for a new phone.

Perhaps your phone hardware is worst than average. Our phone have poor receiver sensitivity comparing to other phones such as the Mototorola DroidX, -3dB to -6dB less in everything - Radio, GPS, Wifi... AND touch-screen phantom buttons sensitivity.
The underlaying problem is poor analog grounding causing degraded performance in multiple subsystems.
Proof - the analog ground suffered huge conductive common mode interferences whenever the USB cable get plugged into the computer, the obvious display symptom is touch screen sensitivity gone to hell from having been plugged in...
You can optimize GPS configuration all you want but if the phone can't get decent enough signals it simply will not work.
One thing you can try is finding a kernel supporting leakage compensation, tweaking leakage compensation will reduce the internal wide band noise ripples on analog ground and improve receiver sensitivity.
Wow this explanation left my head spinning!! lol.
So what rom/kernel do you recommend? I am on miui with glitch 13.1 and very happy at the moment.

Same thing with the alternate patch. No locks. Wiped davlik and cache. Shut GPS off and turn it back on. Nothing. I think I have bad hardware. This issue is the only one I've consistently dealt with. Might be time for a new phone.

get a new device..my fassy locks within seconds and is accurate to 5ft running the exact same setup.
Gotta try this, my gps is kinda spotty
Ok results!! Not good. First up is the google specific one, no satellites found.........nothing. No matter what I tried. Second the Google alternative one. This one found one satellite after about 5 minutes, another after 3 more minutes, then another 5 minutes and it went to zero and stayed there for about 15 minutes.
Well gotta find a stock gps.config file. At least it didn't brick my phone.
BTW I used the Root Explorer method i don't like flashing unknown stuff.

Just wanted to say that I just flashed this on my Fascinate running SC3 Milestone 2 with the 1/16/12 KGB kernel and my gps locked on to, in my kitchen, 9 birds within 10 seconds accurate to 7 ft! I can say unequivocally that this phone has never been able to do that!
