dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted August 9, 2012 Congrats. How's GPS? Battery review. There seems to be a GPS issue. Got only 2 satellite fix after waiting quite a bit and did not lock. Looking for solutions. AGps and location working perfect. Battery life is same. I find no change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted August 9, 2012 OK, I fixed the GPS issue after official ICS update by this - 1. You should know your MSL (usually 000000) 2. Launch phone dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX# (##4772579#) This will clear and reset your GPS 3. Enter the MSL as the password (000000) 4. Your phone will automatically reboot. If it does not (mine didn't) reboot your phone. 5. Once booted back in the ROM open Maps or Navigation or GPS test application and obtain a GPS fix (This is an important step!) Screen shot after GPS fix attached @vishalseth - Now enjoy and say thanks... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I shall try this again when I shall be on the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would not be an OTA then. You can download the update from above link. Sent from my GT-P7500 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vishalsheth 19 Report post Posted August 12, 2012 I got the update today again. I hit install it. It was stuck on trimodeangle with green guy. It didn't move forward. I removed the battery & it went to recovery mode. I restarted it. I'm yet on GB. How do I move ahead? Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vishalsheth 19 Report post Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) I want to update to ICS. I'm on rooted EL29. I've got the update 3 times but not happening. I've replaced google maps only with voice capability. Help needed to upgrade. I was successful in upgrading to ICS. The battery drain was heavy. I updated when battery was 100%. Finally it was 20%. GPS test is not getting locked. Google maps is getting location but it fluctuates. I'm attaching my current battery status.

joshm 818 Report post Posted August 15, 2012 Try and use sfhubs 1 click ics Odin file to flash the ics rooted ff18. It works like a charm. Give it three full charge and drain cycles , you all be good to go. Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 ^ I am not rooted and on stock FF18 and I don't see any difference in battery life from the earlier gingerbread rom. Maybe it is some app that may be causing issues for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshm 818 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) You did not get my point. I asked you to start afresh. Find and flash the one click rooted ff18 from sfhubs . This way you will start from clean. After that just give your phone three cycles of full charge thru ac adapter and full discharge. You will be good to go, new from will be helpful in correcting errors on the previous setup and three charge cycles will calibrate the battery. Using 3g drains the battery very very fast so turn off the 3g once you are done. Keep brightness to lowest comfortable limit Switch off Bluetooth GPS and other services to off. By using titanium backup , backup and then remove sprint bloatware that you don't use.

vishalsheth 19 Report post Posted August 17, 2012 Whenever I restart my phone it says Android is upgrading........ Why is this happening on every restart? Does this mean that upgrade is not complete? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vishalsheth 19 Report post Posted August 17, 2012 I've completed the 3 cycles are over. Screenshots attached. Cycle 2:655 Cycle 3 Still the battery performance is bad. I'm at 4% now. All cycles I've let it die. Also charging was done with phone switched off. Cycle 2 may look better as it was night time & phone was not used much.

snorlax 319 Report post Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Was wondering if the phone supports usb OTG function... coz it has "Pointer/Mouse speed" in Settings>Language & Input>Mouse/Trackpad>Pointer speed I tried with a pendrive with a USB OTG cable that worked on Galaxy note And S2 Gsm version.. However it did not support pendrive OTG function on my d710... i did not try with a mouse though... If someone can throw some light....
