Poor GPS Fix

Hi, i am currently using MCR 3.0 and everything is good, however, the GPS doesnt always get a fix. I can see with GPS status that it can see like 10 sattelites but cannot even get a single fix after 30mins. Sometimes it works really quickly, sometimes it doesnt work at all. Does anybody have a fix for this problem?

What Radio/Baseband are you using?
Right now I'm using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 and am experiencing similar issues.
I may consider jumping up to 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26, which is supposedly much better, but apparently it kills WiFi as well.

mm radios affect the GPS and wifi as well? i always thought that it only affects the phone reception. right now im also using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29, maybe i'll try upgrading it.

Well, unless it's any different than when I had my HTC Vogue, yeah, the Radio affects every wireless function of the phone essentially.
Just be careful upgrading to 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26, one user reported that the WiFi issues became permanent for some reason.

i am using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 with MCR 3.0, no wifi problems for me. used it on the Hero21 1.7 with no problems also

Interesting, interesting... Now I'm tempted.
I'm on the stock (downgraded, rooted) ROM right now. I wonder if it will work properly.

i upgraded it, the wifi seemed to be much better now but i didnt see much difference with the GPS

Ginger Villain and WiFi

I have been on Ginger Villain 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 and i have had this problem.
When the wifi is connected, i would say once every five minutes it disconects and re-connects again. Even though this process takes a few seconds, it is very annoying when im on skype as it terminates the call.
I have set the wifi sleep policy to never. I have never had this problem on stock, modaco, and Robo HD roms.
One thing to note, i originally thought this was a gingerbread 2.3 problem. Too see if was true, i flashed the new modaco 2.3 rom and it was fine. I was using skype and other apps for over an hour and it did not disconnect.
So why is this happening in ginger villain?

One thing to note.
I live in a flat and therefore the wifi signal has always been quite low BUT it has always connected without any problems.
Could it be that GV 2.3 decreases wifi signal strength?

I have flashed the latest radio and ril which seems to have fixed it.
But now I am getting graphical issues as the screen is flashing and acting very weird on certain apps.

Anyone got any ideas?

I'm currently on 1.3 GV and have the same issue with the Wifi, about to try a different Kernel to see if it helps.
I've also noticed a decreased signal, I can be standing right next to my router and not receiving absolute full signal... Think it may be a ROM issue?
You have to remember these ROMs ain't perfect and each one seems to have it's flaws, but the dev's are getting there!

What kernel will you try?

Strange. I have no problem with wi-fi. Signal as well as on the stock rom. In the router logs no disconnects.
Kernel: 1.6 HAVS 1113Mhz + BFS from Villain setup
Radio: 32.44.00.32H_5.09.05.30_2

It is very strange, I have tried different radio's but still can't fix it.
Under normal internet use, it is quite difficult to tell that the connection has dis connected and reconnected as it only takes a few.seconds.
When using Skype or Google talk, you can tell and its very annoying.

Did you manage to fix this with a different kernel?

I am so glad I have finally found someone with the same issue as me! I have a relatively weak wifi signal (distance) from my hub to my room where I use my desire. On apps like youtube or bbc iplayer, it would suddenly turn off wifi and then reconnect all of a sudden. It meant watching anything with these apps is a nightmare. And I have always had it set to wifi sleep - never. I have never had this problem with any other ROM and I have tried loads. I originally put it down to my already tempermental internet, but I have now ruled this out. This is specifically a GV ROM issue.
GV 1.0 - 1.4 all had the same issue. Then, yesterday much to my surprise I saw in the 1.5 change log that one of the changes was that 1.5 "should fix the wifi sleep bug".
Last night, I tried iPlayer as usual, but I believe the problem still persists. I now don't know what to do. I will try resetting the wifi hub to defaults and so on, but I really don't think it will make a difference. I could try flashing a new kernal, but again I don't see how it would make a difference. Then I thought maybe a new radio, but I don't see the need. I'm using the latest official desire radio, and it works flawlessly on everything else.
So, I'm out of ideas, and my patience is slowly dying. I love the ROM for all its worth. It works perfectly, except for this. But for me, stable wifi is a deal breaker. I might need to try something else like amethyst.

Yes, sounds exactly like my problem. There Is a problem with Ginger villain as it works fine on other Roms.
I have tried so many different kernel's, radios and ril's but to no luck.
The only last solution I can think of other than to change rom is to try the modaco kernel. But the problem with that is, its not available seperately so we need someone to extract it from the rom.

I've got a strange issue with my HTC Desire and GV 2.5 :
at home, it doesn't even detect my Wifi (others devices do, of course), while at work it works perfectly.
The security is the same (WPA2/AES) between work and home, so I don't see any explanation... do you think it can be caused by the channel used ?

bluetooth/wifi interference

I don't often use bluetooth but I don't ever recall having interference issues with WIFI until I got to CM7 and flashed the latest radio.
It's WIFI thats causing the issue, if I turn wifi off while I'm on a call the noise is gone.
Is my headset on the fritz, am I loosing my mind, or is this new with this radio version? Or all of the above.
Sidenote: Anyone know of an app that will automatically disable wifi while I'm on a BT call?
MT3GS, CM 7.0.2, Radio 7.9.35.10

hello good sir ok here it goes your running cm7 stable i see with the latest raido and that is great the problem is not with your phone more than likely could be but are you one of the unfortanate folks that has wifi connectivity issue ??? or does wifi work great for you as it does for me never had issues. the reason i ask is cm7 running the latest radio and latest everything lol is flawless however there is a licencing issue from google with android 2.3 cyanogenmod 7 with the wifi apk file meaning cm mod is using the wifi apk from 2.2 because there is no licence restrictions but for whatever reason on 2.3 they have that wifi apk file under licence for a one year period so that being said that may be the issue. or it could be your phone i have 3 mytouch slides mine wifes daughters and they all running cm7 stable clockworkmod and s-off and i have no issues with any i hope this helps and not just rambling good luck if need any additional info lmk thanks

No, that does make sense..
My wifi is a little whacky, but not nearly as bad as some folks describe. I've actually considered going back to CM6 a few times now.
My fiance has a MT3GS with CM6.11 and the older radio, I need to test my headset with that later.

[Q] Intermittent Call Audio Issues?

Hey All,
So, I'm having a weird issue with my T-989. I get intermittent audio loss upon making and receiving calls. Refer to the following examples:
Call comes in; I swipe to answer..."Hello...Hello...Hello....-__-" I can not hear the person on the other end of the call and they are un able to hear me. I've asked countless people that call me on a daily basis on their experience when this happens. They say the call connects but no audio; they then get confused and hang up if I don't end the call my self. Normally I'm the one that ends the call now and I'll call back....sometimes I hear ringing and I know that it'll work ok.
Sometimes, the call log counter starts....but I hear no ringing, HOWEVER the person I'm calling is actually being called and tries to answer the phone...but because I don't hear the ringing...I don't even realize that the phone has established a connection.
Sometimes....everything works fine. I'll answer the phone and it'll work like a charm or I'll make a call and it'll work like a charm. Two hours later...same weird issue.
I wanted to know if people had similar problems.
It's getting increasingly annoying at this point. At first I thought maybe it was my service. Then I thought it was my ROM / Radio. Honestly, I know people who have the same service and plan as me.
Phone is running P.A.C 22.0.1
This issue happened on older versions of which I completed wiped and re installed newer versions of P.A.C; it happened on AOKP; happened on Paranoid Android.....
I'm guessing the only thing I haven't tried changing is the Radio that comes with each ROM.
I am on the T-Mobile Pre Paid Unlimited Talk / Text w/ 500mb Data plan. [I work in data centers, unlimited INTERWEBS!]
Anyone else have similar symptoms? I'll be getting the S4 soon, but I wanted to resolve this issue before hand because I'll be giving it to a friend.
Thanks in advance for any help! :victory::highfive:

I have been living that same issue for months, between several ROMs and kernels and radios. Ive learned to use this process......answer call, wait 3 seconds, then saying "hello". I know, its silly.
I have noticed its seems worse when answering calls from others running aosp (cm10)roms.
I've have not tried any touchwiz ROMs
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda premium

Waiting 3 seconds and then saying hello works? For me the issue happens when placing calls as well. I installed the newest P.A.C last night when I posted the OP, so far no problems. I'll update again if I have any issues moving forward.

What radio are you using?

Now - UVMC6
As I said, as of yet, I haven't had any issues. Let's see over the next couple of days....

[Q] Voice issues

Is anyone have issues with voice calling. As of lately while trying to call out, it will take upwards of 9-16 seconds for the phone to start ringing with 3 bars. Also with 3 bars the connection has been broken, choppy or flat out disconnects after a few seconds. I did the ##72786#, and updated the PRL, but that didnt do much to help. I have also noticed that my 4G isnt a good as it use to be since i took ND8. My wifes phone isnt having those issues because i test called on here phone and here connection was fine. Sprint said it was my Radio, but ive read that the ND8 radio wasnt very good.
I am thinking about doing a full restore to stock 4.4.2 to see if that helps, but id like to know if anyone else has any other suggestions before i do that. It will be a long process and i am hoping to avoid a full restore.
