Bablus 66 Report post Posted September 1, 2011 Is there anyway to improve the native gps applications of Epic? When I use Fb, G+, Latitude Checkins they all report in correct location.. upto 20Kms incorrect locations I have tried only GPS, only Data, only WiFi and combinations theirwith.. however no improvement However when I use foursquare the location is almost spot on.. How is this possible? Any suggestions how to make others accurate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phonegeek 588 Report post Posted September 8, 2011 The internet plan you are subscribed to is independent of 1x or EVDO. The plan just limit the usage and not whether you are using it via EVDO or 1x. Second, one of the check to know whether you are in 1x or EVDO is to check the ping time on speedtest app, if its more than 500, it can be assumed that you are not using EVDO.

prafulrc 3 Report post Posted September 8, 2011 yes i am on 1x as my ping more than 1103ms thank you phonegeek for reply. not bad at least i can check my mails on move. Additional Notes: * Making EVDO work on imported handset requires programming the handset with necessary HSD PRL's, HSD username and password in addition to the handset parameters being registered in Reliance Servers. That is outside the scope of this initiative. You may contact your handset seller for necessary assistance to register EVDO parameters at Reliance and configure in your handset if your handset's MEID/ESN is registered with Reliance. for evdo on my mobile i need to contact my seller (sadikk) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kanny85 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2011 Multiple Issues with firmware update 2.3.4 After upgrading GPS has stopped working completely Phone signal seems to drop (No Signal) every now and then. Very irritating when it happens during a call Occasionally, the phone shuts down and restarts Any help would be highly useful. With 2.3.5 being released, will the latest version get downloaded onto my phone directly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vishalsheth 19 Report post Posted November 10, 2011 Here is a simple solution to fix GPS issue on Samsung Epic 4G:1. Enter *#1472365# in the dialer (For ECLAIR: * # * # 1 4 7 2 3 6 5 # * # * For FROYO: * # * # 3 2 1 4 7 8 9 6 5 0 # * # *) 2. Tap Setup, select Position Mode, select Starting Mode 3. Change the option from "Hot Start" to "Cold Start" Also I found using GPS with WiFi somehow delays the fix; Using it on data hastens it. Rest settings should be MSBased and Navigation. Also for improved and immediate GPS fix download the GPS Test application. Helps a lot. Updated (21-12-2010) PROPER GPS FIX FOR THIS ROM (DI18) Go to some open to sky place open dialer -> dial -> *#1472365# this will pop up menu 1. go to setup -> Position Mode -> Starting mode -> set it to cold start 2. download gps status & tool from market 3. it will show up some satellite. 4. now again go to Dialer -> dial -> *#1472365# 5. this time do warm start and go to same app gps tools -> this will too show some satellite 6. Now again go to dialer -> dial -> *#1472365# 7. this time do hot start and go to same gps tool app -> this time it will show more satellite. 8. wait for all satellite to lock -> b4 locking satellite will blink in and out 9. once gps fixed enjoy fast gps on this rom; also use this fix if you are migration to DK28 (Froyo) rom afterwards and enjoy gps locking Vishal Sheth Sent from Samsung EPIC 4G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
