Is anybody else having a GPS issue? I am totally unable to get a GPS lock on my slide after i flashed the TeamFenix v2.0 Froyo Rom.
Also is there any other GPS navigation besides the google one that's pretty good?
Im also experiencing a lag to the Screen Rotation on the home screen .
Auto-Rotate Screen is checked off in Display settings. However it takes me a good 5 seconds before switching. Is there anyway to fix that?
My bluetooth is also not working. It's paired up and connected to the device. However, it doesnt ring and I cannot operate it (no talk,answer)
Im running TeamFenix v2.0 which i believe is just a new n better version of the CM6.
mod please move to q & a
A little reading would have revealed that yes it is based off cm6 recent version and that cm6 suffers some gps issues on some versions. Bluetooth does not work on cm6. Try an oc kernal if you havent already to fix your screen rotate lag

it would help to know what oc kernel you are running (if you are running one) and what home launcher you are using (ADW, LauncherPro... ect)
as far as the Bluetooth I answered that for ya a couple of days ago in the #TeamFenix v2.0 thread... until Cyanogen and the rest of #Teamdouche release CM 6.x.x we probably won't see a fix for BT using 2.2
the screen lag SHOULD be able to be fixed by one of a couple easy fixes... if you are running Launcher Pro un-install and re-install. if you are running the latest Dopio OC kernel (3.5) turn off you screen off profile.
for the GPS don't know about 2.0, however I do know it works just fine in TF 1.7.1 (I used it today to find a my newest shipper on my route)
but like I said on Friday if you must have BT then you will have to go back to a 2.1 ROM

As i mentioned in my post, that it's a better version of the cm6 therefore i did do some reading hence how i know.
As far as gps, so some versions it does work? Which versions are you referring to ? I do have a oc kernel.

hey
As far as kernel, Im running : Dumfuq OC 825-v3.2-legend-cm-2.6.29. Im using LauncherPro.
Okay thanks again, sorry to be a pain, it's just very inconvenient not to have the bluetooth specially when im driving and stuff and hoping there was an alternative but guess not....thx again. I guess u cant have both uh.
Since im using LauncherPro so imma try to uninstall and reinstall as you suggested...will let u know if it fixes the problem.Thx.
As far as GPS, then i guess its 2.0 issue ....cuz it's not working, when using google maps navigation, i keep getting the Waiting for GPS message , no lock watsoever.
I am running CM6 on my slide, and I can get a GPS lock. It's just a little tedious is all. I always have GPS turned off unless I'm using it. So these are the steps I use to get a signal/location lock.
1) Turn GPS on
2) Turn Navigation on and select address
It will never connect for me the first time
3) Exit Navigation and turn GPS off
4) Turn GPS back on and open Navigation
5) Select address again and make sure my phone is on my dashboard or can see the sky, and let it looks for about a minute.
If it doesn't get a location in a minute or so I repeat 3-5. I'm not sure if the phone needs to have a lined sight to the sky, but I know my gfs dads old gps needed it and I just do it to make sure.
Reflash an 806 kernel and your GPS should work. It seems that part of the chipset can't handle more than 806. And it's not that much slower than 825 anyway.

I tried the Tiamac kernel for my EVO but the gps signal kept going in and out. Im pretty sure it's due to power save, but I had to plugged into power. Is there a kernel out there that doesn't try to mess with things like gps that are needed while using maps? I can understand if I didn't have a navigation application open, but i can't have gps being turned on and off while trying to navigate in a busy city and especially when it's plugged into power.
Unless I am doing something wrong, please let me know. I had to revert back to a backup to get my gps working correctly. I am using deck's rc10 gingerbread aosp rom btw.
Thanks!
for some gingerbread and gps work fine...others cant get it to work properly. the gps fix and all that used to work for me, not lately. so im back to sense.
that's the thing, it works just fine with the rom itself, but when i tired adding the kernel, that's when things got screwy with gps going in and out. i would have to manually turn off gps, wait 5 sec and turn it back on via the notifications drop down menus. Maybe my phone doesn't like kernels at all, haha.
Try the gps fix, them flash back, then open maps first. Never had an issue on my old evo, or the brand new evo I just rooted. Never had to use the fix, but like they say, works fine for some, off for others. Make sure you're on the latest version of CM7 as well.
I'll give it a shot. the thing is that my gps was working fine on the rom until i flashed the tiamac kernel. I'll try it and report back
Since flashing to CM7.0.0 (yes I know, I have been lazy and haven't flashed to the new stable yet) I haven't had GPS. I performed the GPS reset by flashing to a Sense ROM and tried using GPS status to no avail. Can anyone help?
CM says GPS is fixed in the stable release. you should flash to the stable release and see if the problem persists.
When I used CM I did the GPS fix you described and had mine working fine.
Might as well flash on up to 7.0.2.1! I would do the sense gps fix one last time.

I agree that you should just flash up to 7.0.2.1, then you should not have to worry about the gps fix.

Alright I'll try the Sense fix after I flash to 7.0.2.1. Apparently people were still having trouble with the GPS..won't hurt anyways haha thanks guys!
Well I did the gps fix and flashed to 7.0.2.1 and gps works now! But the icon wont go away in the notification bar -.-"
Glad to see you got it working. The icon would never go away for me unless I turned off gps.
Sent from my b3 Infected Evo using Tapatalk Pro!
Oh the icon is there even when gps is off but whatever as long as it works
The icon stays on, no big
See if flashing to CM 7.0.3 fixes the icon. Mine only appears when running an app that actually uses the GPS (Maps, Navigation, GPS Status).

Disable your GPS first, then close out your app using the GPS. This works for me. It is annoying to see the icon when the GPS is off.
Ok so my gps used to work fine and then I tried a bunch of different themes and now it won't turn on. I push the button in the pull down bar and it looks like it is on but the gps symbol never shows up. Anyone have a clue what to do.
I dont know much about it but this may help. If your using a custom rom you may have to reflash it. Im using StarskyRom and gps has constantly worked good for me.
I know that the 2 Epics in my household worked fine as far as GPS goes on Froyo, but after the OTA to GB, they each would only lock onto 4 sats out of 10 and it take a very long time to do it. This problem is a known GB bug. But if you root like I did, you can quickly flash the GPS fix and wow! It will lock on to 8, 9 or 10 in just a few seconds. Other people were complaining that they had noticed that the Navigation apps would also lock up after about 30 minutes. I suspect this was due to only locking on 4 and losing one or 2 of those.
Go ahead and root and get the GPS fix kernel. Also, there's one other kernel flash you must do to get your root to stick (otherwise you'll lose it on your next reboot) and that kernel also fixes the missing keyboard key strokes when you text too fast.
GPS issues
I too am having new GPS issues. I flashed Legendary 4.01 and it is working great other than my GPS constantly polling. It is probably some app but I cannot figure out what app is doing it. I have uninstalled my weather app. I have fewer apps installed now, then when I was on Bonsai ROM and this is a new issue. No new app from my Bonsai install. Any suggestions or tips for determining the cause would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I am on froyo eco5. I am using srf 1.2 genocide 2.0 and emotionless beast theme. Everything was working great then I wanted to try some different themes. So I tried 4-5 of them wiping cache and dalvik three times each everytime I flashed each theme. After all the different themes I ended up with a whole bunch of different parts of each theme. So I wanted to go back to emotionless beast so I wiped everything and flashed rom, kernal, and theme all over again and my gps stopped working. Is there any fix for it?
Ok so found out that my gps does work if I launch a program that uses gps then go into the settings and turn it on. So the only thing that does not work is the gps button in the pull down bar. Any idea why this would happen?

It does sound like a theme issue. I'm not sure exactly why that's happening. I would try re-installing the theme to remedy that.
Ok so I reflashed my theme and still nothing. The gps button just seems like it is not connected to turn on the gps on. I don't know what to do. Anyone else.

I rarely touch the gps function of my phone so the gps is always disabled, but it comes a time after some days of uptime (cannot give an exact number cause this is the second time I experience this), now I have 227 hours, that I enable the GPS but in fact it isn't enabled. How I know this? Well, all the gps using apps like navigation software (igo) and GPS Test aren't fixing location even after 1-2 hours and the gps icon in the notification bar isn't appearing. "GPS Test" says that gps is ON but it won't connect to any sat. If I restart the phone GPS works like it should so no problem there, but I am really curios as why this happenes and how could it be fixed without reboot.
ROM: BlackICE 1.27. (running CM since ...... forever so if I experienced this before it was also with CM rom)

Ivan.
Try to push and hold the antenna cover on the behind and see if the signals gets better, if not download the AGPS patch from here on xda. If the problem was the antenna cover then you will have to buy another one and replace it (YouTube) or unroot, S-ON and get it back to stock and then send it back to get it repaired.

I do not have signal or hardware problems. It's software thing. After some uptime when I enable the GPS switch the gps apps see that gps is on, but gps funktions do not work. ALso the GPS icon in the notification bar is not appearing. Only device reboot fixes it, and then ofcourse gps works like a charm ! But I do not want to reboot, that is why I'm asking for a posibile solution.

I had similar problem on cm 7.
Found it if i turn on the gps by a widget it wouldnt fix location or show up in the notification bar. Try switching it on by using the settings -> locations.
Gps fix was horrible on cm7 anyway and camera was grainy, switched back to sense rom (rev hd 7).
Tried that with the settings -> Locations didn't help. For this little issue I won't change to Sense. I do NOT have any problems with gps fix, it does it in 10 seconds max as long as it turns on. The camera indeed isn't the best but I don't give a rats ass about pics because I have a professional camera. And because of the performance and batterylife of CM I will never change back to Sense.
Thanks for the advice thou.
When you say not turning on and not showing in the status bar, I'm wondering if the location settings are correct.
Since a reboot helps but after running the phone a while you can't fix sats.
1. Have you tried clearing igo data and cache? That seems like it should work since rebooting does.
2. Are your GPS locations set correctly? --would think so, but then it wonks out later.
When I initially had problems I got GPS status and downloaded agps assistance but still had problems, rebooting didn't help and push some other file.
Let me know about 1 and 2 see if that helps or what to get GPS on for you all the time (when you want it)

Before I go into IGO I always make the first gps check with gps test plus. And the gps icon is not appearing on status bar, and ofc no sats are found by GPS test. Now gps works because i had to reboot because of another installation. So now everything works great. (gps related)
I also did all the things with agps assitance.... but I am very shure that these things have nothing do to with it, because gps works very good when it is runing.
I am pretty sure it's ROM related.
Yeah sounds that way, just gotta check those simple (we do them) but overlooked tasks.
Good to know everything is working now. Sometimes I just wait for that next update if I don't use a feature that is not working right.

Same thing has happened to me, too. I'm a CM nightly user.
So far the only solution I have found to work is rebooting the phone.
I've found out it seems to happen mostly when I turn the GPS on using the Power Control widget and most of the times it's working fine if I turn the GPS on using the Notification Power Widget.
I have the same issue with the Data connection: when trying to turn it on using the Power Control widget it's a hit and miss situation. I reported this in the CM7 thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22459809&postcount=7352
but no one could offer an explanation or a solution except full wipe.
I always do a full wipe and this still happens.
It's been a few days since I've been using the LorD ClockaN's latest kernel and the issue seems to have gone away.
Here's the kernel thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085725
and I'm using the kernel from here:
http://blackice.omca.co.uk/download/icecoldsandwich/UE-ginger-kernels/
The kernel file is lordmodUEv8.9-CFS-b2-gpu.zip
Try it, see if it makes a difference for you, too.
Hy,
I am always using the latest LC kerrnel, and tried to activate GPS from everywhere.
I mostly use the notification Widget and still same behavior. Never had problems with the data switch and I do use that one alot. At the moment GPS works because I rebooted few days a go.
Thanks for the reply.

hey have you solved the problem ? i also encounter this on my phone (other brand). it works a few times then no incon shows up so i have to reboot to make it work again.
the same. when in works it works fast an nice.. but i hate to reboot when i`m on the point to leave with the car......
answer please
I have been setting up and play with this version for a couple of hours. I was fighting with Kies to recognize the phone and finally had to uninstall / reinstall again to get it to work. Makes no sense since I backed up before the update. Regardless i was able to recover my SMS and Phone logs which is the only thing I did not have backed up.
Here are the fixes that I have found so far:
1. Keyboard backlight of course.
2. Menu buttons light up now when they are touched. No longer have to touch screen (this was a big one for me).
3. SMS notifications work correctly although I had switched to SMS Pro to solve and I love it now.
4. Other notifications seem to be working ( calendar, alarm, etc.) but I was already using Volume Ace which fixed these as well.
5. Accuweather application rotates through my chosen cities now. I had not realized this was not working properly but always had to open the app to switch cities.
So far so good with some of the major items fixed. #2 was really bothering me for a long time since I was alway hunting for the right button in the dark.

So, there shall be no more GSM hangups? Than its a musthave
Still have not found a link to download any version of this update.
Someone had posted that GPS is fixed as well, something that I and a few others have been battling with - it taking minutes, if ever, locking a signal and location.
Can you confirm GPS ? Did you have issues w/ it before?
I'll be playing with this Rom this weekend.

I had seen people having problems with GPS but I never experienced that issue. Perhaps I just do not use it enough but when I use it as navigation while driving with the built in apps, the location was always correct for me. I used it out of state a few times and my location seemed to stay locked.
I was basically using the stock ROM LH2 before with just the Keyboard light fix. No Root or other changes except CWMR for backups.

Tethering and 4G Symbol
Hi,
ICS looks great for me, i flashed the Stock rom (I927UCLJ3_I927ATTLJ3_ATT) from samfirmware.com via ODIN, but there are still 2 problems.
First:
Is there any way to unlock USB Tethering and Mobil Hotspot?
Second:
What´s about the 4G Symbol, i´m living in Germany and on GB i saw the 3G or H (for HSDPA+) Symbol now its a 4G
I´m not sure if the 4G search process reduces the battery livetime wahtsoever, is it possible it switch it back?
Thx and have a nice Day
Oh. P.s. is ist possible to Root the Stock rom, and kill all the damn AT&T app´s and change the gps.conf?
Well, about the GSM and notification issues: they were not fixed. I noticed one thing, that this problem is repeatable if you use Alarm clock (stock or not - does not matter).
You wake up, diable the alarm, after that, if you dont touch and turn on your phone - it will hang in a while, until you turn it on. So the GSM/Wifi statuses change rapidly after turning on, time advance in status bar very fast.
This issue makes me miss calls and have repeatable notifications
Why does the name of my provider always appears in the notification bar?..

It is built into the software. You Can decode the Rom, and put in 14 toggles to remove it

GPS works for me, but I have to wait a lot for first time position fix.
Literom 0.8.4 finally has GPS fixed. I was cruising around with it, it was as accurate as my TomTom and fixed about as fast.
TheGreaterGood found the fix and embedded it .. huge thumbs up! Follow Instructions in the OP .. .I installed everything, literom kernel 1.1.1, stock modem and stock everything else, north america for gps config and after it fixed the first time, it started fixing right away in doors and out.. I'm very happy w/ this Rom.
