I would like to be able to use this feature better, as it take less battery than GPS. I havnt found anything in the forums
Two major issues:
1. I can not get location from mobile tower, only WiFi. a few times it thinks it got location but it was in another state.
2. Having both boxes (networks and gps) prevents either from working well. GPS has gotten much better working while the network box is checked. However if the GPS box is checked it will not give programs the wifi location while waiting for GPS. this is how it worked in WIMO
reserved for an answer if we find one
How it should work:
* Android wants the cellid
* Android polls the ril
* ril polls the tower
* ril responds to Android
* Android asks google where that tower is
* Location found.
Well, something there isn't working - iirc (it's been awhile), android isn't even asking for cellid, it wants something else...
do you know if this is an android in general problem or a port problem. i seem to remember my bro not getting this service on his iphone and we both have ATT

this service works fine on AT&T phones, at least that I've tried. Since every android phone I've seen has this working as well (the stock android phones, that is), technologically it works. this works identically for tmo and att... cdma might be different (never looked into it).
It's a RIL problem.... we just don't know where.
thats too bad. i just graduated engineering so this has been my nerd fix. until i get a job ill be at the lib studying for FE and doing this. maybe i can learn how the linux kernal works soon enough to be any help. i also am trying to look at the charging problem. no success yet but A for effort...HA
HERE is the source for the ril.
and if you start with THIS POST and read a couple responses after that, you can try to come up with something.

Good find... Now does anyone have a good guide on how to setup an environment for compiling android libs? I can compile kernels but not libs (or apps) at the moment.
Not sure if this is of any help, but you'll probably know better than I will

Trying with the Fresh Froyo sources, building as described by DZO, but it always takes several tries before I get a complete build.
Usually it aborts with something like...
out/target/product/vogue/obj/lib/libnativehelper.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [out/target/product/vogue/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libandroid_runtime_intermediates/LINKED/libandroid_runtime.so] Error
different .so every time. Something wrong with my Ubuntu install, or my lowly netbook? In the past it eventually builds. I've been trying all day.

As soon as I open Maps, I get my location as that of the nearest cell tower, just like in Windows Mobile.
This is great news! Can you check whether stock news/weather app. Uses tower location with this fix applied?

I turned off GPS, flew from California to New York, then checked weather with Weather.com and weather widget, using current location. Both correctly reported the local weather in New York.
Give it a try.
I haven't tested very much -- don't know if it hurts anything else.
I have poor data connectivity here in New York, don't know if the RIL edit is to blame.
Backup your /system/lib/libhtcgeneric-ril.so first, in case this one is bad.

I tried this with no success. I tried both Maps and the news and weather app. And yes i made sure I had the correct options set in settings>location, even turned off gps. Did you have wifi on? I've gotten location to work before by using wifi, but no luck with just data.
No, wifi and gps have both been off all day.
I'm using the cyanogenmod froyo, if that makes any difference, with just that one file changed. There's no news+weather widget, so I couldn't try it. Everything else I could think of trying worked, though.

Google Ion 1.6 for HTC Hero.
This project aims at getting the stock Google Ion Rom to run on HTC Hero. No Rosie or any HTC apps will be ever added to that rom. Once fully functional it could be used as a base for cookers.
Current release: Lox-ION-1.0b3 (logcat)
What works:
- place, receive calls
- wifi
- Market
- GPRS
What does not do far
- bluetooth (logcat seems it is relative to libc.so - Uncompatible with current kernel ?)
- trackball
- compass & accelerometer (with akmd > logcat - with ak8973 > logcat )
- GPS
- camera
Note: devs please test hack and share if you fix anything or have any idea
Great! I hope the rest will be fixed soon!
I second that!
Great to hear it.
are you working on the hardware that doesn't work? and whats the progress.
you forgot to mention that the camera doesnt work aswell
Just flashed it, gonna see what I can get working(if anything).
I'd like to try it - but can you go back by using Nandroid - or reflashing Modaco's ROM ( I'm on 2.3 )

I dont know how gecka feels but could we try and keep this thread informative
Just did a bit of snooping around and the GPS does work, you sure you checked it right? I did a bit of tinkering but none of it was related to the GPS at all. Trackball I'm still not sure about, the keylayouts have the same keycodes but still doesn't seem to want to work. Accelerometer just needs the permission to be granted to execute, except I'm not to sure how to do that cause I'm a bit new to linux. As for the bluetooth, don't get me started, its giving me a headache lol xD
hey i m using this rom and its working beautiful...man nice job and the trackball blinks when a phone is ringing ....but doesnt blind at the time of reminders....but still great job...
What about headphone detection? I know with the other Ion ROMs, when you plugged in headphones, it went unnoticed unless you downloaded an app to manually switch the audio over.
For devs only!
Hi guys,
Please, consider the [DEV] in the subject: this thread is for devs only.
If you don't give any fix, just follow the thread by subscribing to it and don't polute it! Thanks.
For now this build is buggy, you'll certainly find more and more bugs, witch I don't care for now as I want main functionality to work first (bluetooth, gps etc...)

Market Apps
Hey all.
We've got a problem with the Donut Market over in the Vogue forums. In Donut, when we load up the Market, there are only 20-30 apps available. Going back to Cupcake builds, the problem persists. However, logging in with a fresh Gmail account gets rid of the problem (in Cupcake.)
So far, my guess as to the cause of this is that Google's server have taken note of any "pirates" accessing the as-of-yet unreleased Donut market, and locked them out. However, I don't see any complaints along those lines here.
So, my question to all of you is, while you say the Donut Market is working, do you still seem to have access to all the applications you did in Cupcake?

Hi, I noob on this of an Android Phone, I have a HTC TOUCH PRO 2, RHOD210.
I install the FROYO X 2011.01.12 and i put the kernel that have the packet than run the camera and this is OK.
My problem is that the wifi interface is not workink, i am try a lot of solutions that found in this forum, but nothing is ok for me, i change the rootfs like suggest in a forum, modify the wifi-nvram.txt and put the mac address of the wifi, i update the kernel to Latest Kernel Commit# 1253, and i have the same problem.
could someone tell me how to solve the wifi of my rhod210?
Please, I do not want to use windows mobile
How about you just run with vanilla FRX03 and then try to get fancy with it?
Let us know how that works, then we can work on updating your kernel. If you're a noob at swimming, you don't start in the deep end...

Erm, I guess I should be more specific.
Where did you download vanilla FRX03? Also, FRX03 is Froyo, so I assume you mean that Froyo 'X' build tiad8 put together.
Also, I'm not sure what you mean "slow with this kernel" - by vanilla FRX03 build, I mean the complete bundle - not just the kernel. Plus, kernels are not tied to system images... So I'm not sure what you mean.

Honestly, every single person either wifi "just works", or they have to do the wifi-nvram trick. I've never heard of anyone not being able to use wifi, that didn't try the wifi-nvram trick - and those people were definitely in the minority. Vast majority of people, wifi works perfectly fine for.
Please, be a little more diligent. I can't do this troubleshooting for you, I can only point you in the right direction. I need you to do some legwork, as I can't see what you're doing.

Thank you very much to everyone who answered me and all the developers of this project so interesting, yesterday succeeded in solving the problems I had, my SD formatting, reinstalling Froyo x version 2011.01.12 and puts a kernel of the chamber, after That did the trick again wifi-nvram.txt file, according to the link that let me arrrghhh one of the threads of this forum, after that the WIFI has started to work wonders.
Then my HTC Touch Pro 2, RHOD210 remain with:

These days I've been testing my phone RHOD210 Android, after having settled about the WIFI, but I noticed a problem is that the phone is locked, I can receive a call and make a call, and thereafter ceases to operate the module telephony, change the 1214-Dirty kernel that runs the camera for the 1253 and I have the same problem, another thing I noticed is that the speakerphone does not work completely, it is telling me the microphone works but not the headphones, someone happened?

Uhm... the older kernel doesn't have the commits for speakerphone mic I would say. Once it all gets committed to GIT it will be a lot less confusing - just a lot of code that's in testing right now basically.

What kernel do you recommend for my RHOD210, the 1253 is doing that the phone will be frozen and I have to Quiaro the battery and put it again to restart the system.
Wonder that in the future will be able to remove the windows and flash the device with adro to make it natively? : D

Well, I'd recommend 1250 then I guess... Usually I recommend the newest GIT kernel, which is currently 1253.
FYI, you already can remove Windows and flash the device to run Android natively. It's just not as stable as haret, but it's getting there. Plus, it's only a partial NAND boot - only init and the zImage are actually loaded on the MTD if I'm not mistaken, everything else is on the SD card (which is still 99% of the data...)
But, if you're feeling brave and really do want to completely get rid of WinMo, NAND boot away... can't say I didn't warn ya
Having seen so many people with gps probs on the last few roms i've had and most can not be bothered to read a few pages back when i've posted something,i've decided to create a thread(apologise if there's something like it elsewhere) with a fix for some and improvements for others.I've tried this with 8 people and all have been successful and happy.It aint 100% and christmas aint come early,but if you don't have ago,you'll never know.Sometimes it's the rom or the area you live or more than likely the way you flashed the rom that causes the gps probs.My findings is that your phone finds more sattelites and the accuracy in feet is more accurate and ever since i've done this on my last 6 roms,i've had 3 or 4 bars signal as to the usual none i've been getting.I don't wanna here it's in the wrong forum or anything like that as it aint a theme or app,it aint general,it aint a question,it's quite common on alot of rom so i've put it in the rom thread on purpose
I'd love for some people to have ago for me and test it for me and report there results(if any),all positive or negative posts welcome
use root explorer or something like it of your choice and go to system/etc/gps.conf,long press and choose open in text editor and add this to the bottom........
GPS1_CLEANUP_ENABLED=0
GPS1_XTRA_AUTO_DOWNLOAD_ENABLED=1
GPS1_XTRA_DOWNLOAD_INTERVAL=24
GPS1_SESSION_TIMEOUT=2
you only have to add GPS1_CLEANUP_ENABLED=0,but people have added all 4
then save then delete gps.conf.bak and reboot AND ENJOY

This is for Tytung's GPS libraries that you quote. Even Tytung has mentioned these values on this thread
Tytung said:
Some ROMs suffer from the "GPS off-and-on" bug.
Those ROMs can shutdown the gpsOne engine properly when turning off GPS setting using gps_cleanup(), but they cannot restart the gpsOne engine again because gps_init() is never called when turning GPS setting on after turning it off.
It's a Gingerbread bug which is fixed by applying this commit from the source code.
If you cannot modify the source code, the workaround is to set/add GPS1_CLEANUP_ENABLED=0 into gps.conf to avoid doing full cleanup.

Using the latest rom from Task650 2013.02.23 I'm not able to connect to some secure sites. One example is https://stripe.com/ but there are plenty of others, but no names off the top of my head (just want to point out it's not unique to Stripe, happens with about 1 in 4 sites I've tried to use.) I ran into this quirk with older versions of this rom as well. Happen on a clean install, both stock browser and Chrome.
I'd potentially post in the development thread but where I'm a newbie it won't let me, sorry about that!
Any tips on how I might resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Or if you know where I might look to find a more verbose error log, that would be pretty awesome as well.
Thanks!
Edit: can't explain what happened, but after logging in to a Google Account on the device and installing a handful of apps/updates everything works as expected. Case closed, for now. If I figure out what happened I'll come back to post about it for others who might run into it.

I'm able to get to the above website, as well as all the SSL sites I visit, credit cards, bank, mint, credit scores, ect.. without fail. I'm also on the 2/23 build from task. when flashing sometimes things can happen like this, even on a clean flash.
You may have to Odin back to stock to do a complete fresh reinstall of tasks ROM.
unrelated, I had to do so with a recent LTE issue that is now fixed.

Thanks for the reply RPelham!
I have jumped back to older versions of the rom but it still happens. I wipe caches, format /system and proceed with a clean install each time. The checksum matches on all files used so I'm relatively sure I'm downloading what's expected.
Your comment about LTE perks my curiosity. Although not on LTE myself, now that I'm home I've I connected to wifi and this issue isn't presenting. The only time I run into problems is when trying to connect to secure sites over cellular data.
My data plan isn't limited or being misused so I don't suspect they've throttled the connection. Not lucky enough to be on any unlimited data plan and no high usage coming from me. No high connection counts... really nothing all that notable. E-mails and calendar sync mostly.
Does Bell muck up HTTPS traffic? I would call them up but I feel tier 1 technical support isn't going to be much help until I narrow it down more.

RPelham was referring to going back to stock (TW) and starting over with tasks aokp. that usually resolves almost every issue.

Oh I see. Perhaps this will sound silly, but how exactly does one do such a thing? Is there a thread somewhere on here with stock Bell I747 roms I can install using recovery?

Search for stock firmware in the Android development section. Your bell version will be listed with the others. You'll need odin installed on your pc.
first though before you actually odin stock
Check your date & time setting

Time and date appear to be accurate. Haven't located the official roms just yet, will poke around and see what's around.
I loaded the stock rom and HTTPS sites works as expected. Rooted again, and installed the latest from Task (2013.02.26) and back to having these connection issues. Going to go post on the development thread, but any tips or ideas more than welcome! Thanks fellas

Well he was quick to reply and inform me my carrier is unsupported. Yeesh, like... really quick. You would think he lives here on xda. That aside I decided to try the slim rom and I hit the same issue. So it's not unique to task. However, I'm completely stumped at this point. It would be sweet if the browser would give a better error message! Keeping my eyes peeled for others with the same issue and possible solutions, but thanks again for the advice so far!
Hi,
I am having some GPS issues and I don't quite know how to fix them.
First of all, I have tried different ROMs starting with JellyKing, CM10.1, MarvellousCM10 and they all behave the same way.
The GPS simply does not get a fix, even when I let it sit outdoor for several minutes (I even left it 30 minutes).
There are times, however, where it gets the fix right away, it would work till I close the app that is using it (Endomondo, Runkeeper, for example) then it won't work again. I was not able to find any way to reproduce the "working" GPS.
The fact that it works, albeit rarely, makes me think it's not an HW issue, but I'm not so sure anymore.
What did I try already:
1) I followed this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563226
The fix -supposedly- was tested with the Wildfire S.
Made no difference.
2) I installed FasterFix
The App simply did not work for me. Whichever server I picked, it said that an error had occurred
3) I installed FasterGPS
The app worked, in the sense that I selected a server and it updated the gps.conf file.
It made no effect though.
I have installed "GPS Status" to test it and I was (never) able to get a fix since I installed it.
All of the above was done with the rom from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878031) but I had the same behavior with other roms ...
Any suggestion?
None of those patches will help you.It's just a placebo.
However, GPS is not working on cm ROMs as it works on sense based ROMs.
It does work, but it needs a lot more time to get a fix, especially the first one.It takes around 10-15 min, or even less if you're under the clear sky.

Poh. I left it more than 30 minutes on the balcony. Clear sky, completely open. Nothing.
Are you saying this is an issue with the CM10* based roms?
So if I try one based on CM7* should it work?
I really would like to move to JB and stay away from Sense ...but I need the GPS to work.
Thanks for your help.
Well, as I said, it does work, but it's much faster on sense ROMs.Don't know why you can't get a fix, I'd suggest downloading GPS status from play store, there you can see exactly how much satellites your phone is catching.
I think it's that way on every CM based ROM.However, I've never tried cm7, so, can't really say for it.

Hi FAtfcK,
how did you follow the 1st method, exactly?
I have installed ES File Explorer, then I downloaded the Google Specific, no SSL file and extracter gps.conf on the SD card.
Then with ES File explorer I copied the file in /etc (of the internal memory). It did ask me if I wanted to overwrite the existing gps.conf, so I figure it was the right location.
Rather than overwriting, I renamed the original one, then copied the new one.
I rebooted the phone (just in case) and waited ... and waited ... but no luck.
Did you do the same?
By the way, which Rom are you using?

In my ROM, you can select your region (Europe, Asia, Africa, ...) and aroma will pick a gps. conf for you.
And yes, first GPS fix takes about 15 min, but it should work fine after that.

DJolivier,
I'm sorry but that's not the case.
I flashed Marvellous CM7.2 and the GPS works perfectly. It gets a fix outdoor in 0.1s.
Even indoor it would get 4 or 5 satellites (not enough to get a fix), but it clearly showed that the GPS was working.
WIth any of the CM10* that I used the GPS was practically dead (did not see any satellite when outside): the GPS simply was not working.
I can't quite use CM7.2: I don't need many apps, but the few I do need don't support Gingerbread, apparently, which is a pity, because everything works in Marvellous 7.2 ...
Now that I know that the HW clearly works, I plan to re-flash a CM10 and try again the various options ...
Thoughts?
1) Take gps.conf from CM7 and implent it in any cm10 ROM
2) Try CM9. It's Android 4.0.4 ICS, I know that it works perfectly.
Gesendet von meinem HTC Wildfire™ S mit Tapatalk 4 BETA
You can't say that GPS is not working on cm10 ROMs, when it is.You don't need to touch gps.conf, or to do anything for it to work.It does work.
I got fix from 12 satellites once when I was outdoors.Indoors, I usually get 5-7.

Haha. Sorry late reply. I did all the same but..... I think you forgot to set the permissions that's why and you should overwrite it

Nightshadow931,
I am sorry but GPS with any CM10 I have tried so far is dead. I had some random luck which I cannot reproduce.
I am not claiming that gps is broken on CM10, but for sure it does not work for me. Infact, I was under the impression that this issue was only mine, however, apparently, it is not and there is a "known" issue with GPS in CM10.
I have installed this morning Thunderbolt 2v0 (based on AOPK 4.1.2) and it works like a charm.
I did not try Djolivier's suggestion of copying the gps.conf from CM7.2 to CM10: I read the suggestion too late.
For now I am going to stick to this rom.
Gps issue isn't in AOKP because it isn't cm based

I have a MarvelC and have been running CM10 alpha since January. I had been having issues with GPS in all the ROMs I tried - and was told that unless I was using a sense based ROM - GPS would not work for long if I ever got it working.
In the Play Store - I found this App - Navfree USA: Free Satnav. It works most of the time. There are times I do have a problem getting a connection, but I don't know if that's because of the ROM I'm using, or because of where I am at the time and there is no satellite to connect to.
For the US version, you do need to down load individual state "maps" to use - but that has not been an issue. They also have other country versions.
It may be a "fix" for someone - give it a try.

Mamadanz,
I think I tried all the CM10-based roms for WFS and I was never able to get the GPS to work consistently. I suppose it may depend on the App that you're using: the one I tried (Endomondo, Runkeeper) don't work.
Using the AOPK-based Thunderbolt 2v0 (which is JB 4.1.2, but not based on CM) I have no problems, whatsoever, with the GPS. It's been a few days so far and I have been using it extensively.
The rom, in general, is good. Some things are in a "different" place than what I'm used to, but you have all you need.

Thank you Scardac - I did download your ROM. Unfortunately, downloaded the wrong GAPPS yesterday and didn't realize until I flashed everything while away from home. DL's the correct GAPPS very late last night so am still playing with everything. But so far - everything looks very good. I'll keep you posted.
Thank you again.
