[Q] CM7 RC2 GPS and Gmail questions - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all, Im brand new to the forums and just recently was shown the wonders of rooting and messing with my phone by a coworker. I am amazed to see all the stuff this thing can do that Tmobile didnt bother doing for me! I recently went from CM6 to CM7 then upgraded to RC2 and somewhere in there I lost GPS all together and Gmail stopped sending my emails. No matter what I do GPS will not work. It shows that it is on everywhere I look for not in the status bar. I can find my location using wireless but its not nearly accurate enough for me. I read somewhere on the forums that uploading to the newest radio will help the GPS but the link it gave me showed it being posted in mid January and I figured there had to be something newer than that . I am also uninstalling and reinstalling Gmail to see if that solves my problems with it now and I will edit this if that changes. Ive read a few places where people were talking about getting an FM radio on the MT3G and most of the time it was said that it is not possible, it isnt right? Any info or advice you pros can give me will be greatly appreciated by this noob! Thanks guys!
EDIT: Looks like I should have taken my own advice and reloaded Gmail before asking about it, I can now send emails!

As for your GPS, once you get the newest radio flashed, go out door to a place with clear sky (as in no buildings hovering over your head). I thought my GPS didn't work either, then I stepped out and turned it on. Bam. Works perfectly fine.

download TuneIn from market

I got the radio downloaded and I finally have GPS!! I had read about downloading the newest radio before but the only one I saw was from January and I was hoping to find a newer one or a different fix. The only issue I have with the GPS now is the blue arrow that shows your position keeps going sideways :-/, another issue to research. As far as the FM radio goes, Ive see apps like that before but the reason I asked about an FM radio was to pick up the broadcasts from the TV's at the gym. Thanks for the post though.

Yea,my gps takes long to lock on outside,then when I'm driving or stopped at a red light it always reroutes,when I'm moving the arrow goes sideways and moves along so I can't really know where I'm going might a bug or sumthang.

Anybody figure out the problem with the navigation? I've got the same problem with the blue arrow being all funky. Makes google maps unusable.
Anybody else also know why this CM7 RC4 is killing my battery life?

I just updated my radio to the newest one and it's still got the same problem.

I did the radio too but Im still having problems. Im on nightly 36 now, but Ive tried 33 and RC1-4 without any luck. I heard someone say 32 works but ive also heard people say all of them works for them so im not sure.

my google maps gps is pointing to the wrong direction too. And get a long time to pinpoint my location.
cm7 and newest radio installed.

The guy who introduced me to all of this rooting stuff suggested I do a backup through titanium and then a full wipe before reinstalling CM7. I' not comfortable enough with all this yet to do it on my own so I have to wait until I work with him again. Mybe someone with more experience (or atleast confidence haha) would want to give this a shot and let us all know? I feel like it could work because there are so few of us having this problem and those that aren't have nothing different (in hardware or software) from the rest of us, so a wipe and reinstall could work...right??

Every time i have an issue with a ROM, i always full wipe and reflash and then restore my necessary apps through Titanium. It usually does the trick.

Full wipe involves data/factory reset, cache partition, and dalvik cache, all in cwm recovery menu correct? Is there anything else that needs to be wiped before flashing a new rom?

WIFI Problems since MyFroyo RC4

Ever since going from MyFroyo RC4 to RC5 & RC6 (and even the Cyanogen RC01, I have had problems with my wifi.
I am posting here to see if anyone else is experiencing these problems, and to find out what changed between RC4 and RC5.
I have no cell service at my house, so when I flash a new ROM, I need to leave the house and go to an area where I get service before I can connect to the Google Servers to set up my device. When on Wifi, I also have problems downloading Google items in the market (such as Google Search Bar) and can't even use Google.com to search for anything. It times out. I can, however, use other websites and download other items (once I've set up my device remotely).
If I am setting this up over Edge or 3G, there are never any problems.
If I re-flash back to MyFroyo RC4, I can use my wifi with no problem to do everything I need.
I really love the updates since RC4 - but am worried that I'll be left in the dust since all the builds since RC4 have had this issue for me. :-/
I'm in the same boat and experience the same WiFi issues.

I've never had a single Wifi issue, although I never really tested on RC1 too much. I'm currently running Eugene's newest CM6, have you tried that one yet?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
supposed to be a cyanogenmod issue though i havent experienced it myself (i also have horrible service 1-2 bars edge max) using wifi everything loads up fast and everything downloads just fine! but if i were you i would try the nightlies they are supposed to have fixed the problem by now if im not mistaken
I've experienced a lot of this too. Marker downloads were pretty much not happening for me, no matter what - Wifi or Data. On data, it would download but never install. On Wifi no images in the market would load and no download would activate. I also couldn't use Google.com or sign into Gmail via the browser or other Google services. I did a lot of searching and heard it could be Google.
What I did to fix it... I did some nandroids, I did some wipes and updates and complete formats, etc. What I finally think I had was a problem in my packages.xml file where so many programs were mismatched due to Froyo's ability to use apps2fat32. I think at some point some nandroiding I had done,etc screwed up my package assignments and then I just fresh installed and DO NOT BACK DATA/SETTINGS UP WITH GOOGLE! haha, I honestly think that had a lot to do with it also...Go into your Privacy and turn auto restore off, turn backup data off, then reset your device with a wipe of it all and such, boot up and don't select backup with Google. I've had no more issues really.

I've actually tried the new nightly's and still have the same problems. I've also tried completely wiping it and starting from scratch- and made sure not to back up w/ GOOGLE servers- but to no avail.
I wonder if anyone on here can figure out what changed between MyFroyo RC4 and RC5 that could cause this - seems something is blocking the Google Synch. I've also experienced the problems mentioned above regarding the market items not downloading, no images, etc. Just seems weird that it worked completely fine before RC5, which came out around the same time as the Cyanogen 6 Slide RC1
From my personal experience I'd have to say that wifi is slightly bugged. Drops randomly and occassionally won't detect my network when other Android devices will (any encryption, which is for suckers anyway )
At least I know I'm not the only one w/ this problem. I couldn't find a cyanogen defect for this issue.
Same here. I have no wifi. My g1 connects just fine and my hd2 but on the slide its a no go. Ive tried everything but eventually just gave up. Im using Eugenes Ota update. Im not sure if its just the slide in general but my wifi doesn't work period. It'll connect but if i load up youtube or try the web I get a no connection error. Its very peculiar. Incredibly peculiar.
I am having the same issue. I noticed people talked about it with CM6 rc1 but not everyone was having the issue and the subject died off. Ive tried reloading, wiping everything, htcclay's new version but nothing seems to help. The wifi is just strange will work for a page or two than fail to load or loads half way. Also tried on several different networks. Does anyone know if the driver is the same in eugenes as in these later ones?
After wiping and keeping a good eye on everything, the issue I have with Wifi and the browser is that sometimes it just hangs about 75% page load and doesn't really change unless I leave the phone go for a bit and wait for it to load.
Downloaded Opera Mini (only browser I could find that doesn't use the native browser). With Opera, I've actually hadn't had any loading issues or anything weird like that happen. So many a possible partial-bypass is using another browser? It helped me, just thought I'd share.

[GUIDE/FIX] Potential fix for GPS issues with some ROMs

If your GPS isn't working with your new ROM, then try this method. It has worked for me for every ROM I've used with a problem connecting to GPS. I've seen the problem posted in several ROM threads, and instead of posting it in each one and having it get lost in the hundreds of pages of posts, I figured I'd start a new one which might be searched for a little more easily.
- Open 'Settings' and go to 'Applications'. Choose 'Manage Applications'.
- Choose 'Running Apps'
- Find the 'Maps' app and open it. Click 'Force Stop' and choose 'Clear Data'.
- Go back to your app drawer and open 'Maps'. It will have you check off the disclaimers. Close it after you have done this.
- Open your 'Navigation' app and check off the disclaimers there. It should connect after that.​
Like I said, this has worked for every ROM I've tried with a problem connecting to GPS. I don't know why it works, but it does.
tags: gps not working, gps won't connect, gps issue, broken GPS
Didn't solve my GPS issue...which is that it doesn't toggle on what so ever.
Each new nightly I flash, I have to push an old gps.vision.so in order to get my gps to toggle on and off again.
Thanks anyway.
edit: No app on the market will make my GPS work...That is the type of GPS problem that I and some others are having.
try install the gpxfix or gps status from the market.. work well for me..
Same here...this didnt help.
Also installing GPS status did not help either.
As discussed in the nightlies thread, Cyanogen presumeably updated a crucial library responsible, among other, for GPS functionality which requires the/a new radio.
This also could explain why some users while having identical devices to other users do have GPS while others dont. They simply did upgrade the radio already earlier while the ones which are stuck with a bon-working GPS didnt and are still on the original radio, an "old" one in regards to the prerequisites of the "new" library added to the build.
Makes sense?

Yep...this is 100% correct.
And for what its worth, I went a head and flashed the new radio again just too see if in fact it does fix the GPS and yes it does.
Back to the T-Mobile US OTA radio and the gps.vision.so from Nightly #4 or earlier.
not 100% correct, i have the new radio and still have the gps problem... i've seen at least one other person with the same.
But i'm using a Bell Desire Z, maybe thats why

Did you happen to use the app 'GPS Status' to check your gps after you upgraded? If not, what was the first gps application that you opened after you upgraded to CM7, if you can remember?
Scratch that....just reflashed the radio and nightly 13. Gps works a charm now! Thanks

Im on the stock ROM and have a problem. I think the GPS on these phones are messed up big time. Here is my problem.
stock rom with ota update and ota update radio= no GPS AT ALL it will just stick there blinking tryin to get a fixed signal but it wont! Happens in alll my GPS app not just maps.
So I downgraded my radio to the pre-ota one and GPS gets a fix but takes a minute or so.. after that I can leave the app and come back and itll refix itself within 5 seconds (what it should be normally).. So even downgraded I still have slight issues with gps.. plus for some reason if I loose signal for more than 5 mins on this radio it wont ever get a signal unless I reboot.
Im going to try your method but dont think itll work since my problem is not Maps specific.
EDIT: this seems to have worked, even on my the ota radio. I just dont understand why Maps would break GPS for all apps. Funny things is when something like this usually happens I clear app data but didnt do it here because it was all my GPS apps.
I'm glad it has worked for a couple people anyway. I don't know what the problem is that causes this, but it has worked on the ROMs I've flashed, so I figured it might be a good step to take before updating radios and things like that. Just in case the solution is as simple as just stopping Maps and clearing the data... If you have done more modification to your phone beyond just flashing ROMs, then this may not work for you since the problem may be bad radios or other issues. If you are just a ROM flasher without tweaking too much else, then this may solve your problemo.

I used to not have GPS issues either - european Desire Z btw - having said that, CM7 #14 breaks with that uuhm... tradtion. It's the first build giving me no GPS unless a new-ish (the 26.04 and 26.06 works) radio is flashed.
So wat is the new radio, I recently flashed a different radio but I'm not sure if its the latest radio out. Thx

[Q] 3G slow to respond

Hey everyone, I'm new here to the forum and have had my EVO for about 6 months now. First things first, I have searched quite a bit and havent really found problems specific to mine on here or google. Maybe I am just not searching for the right thing so bare with me please. A few months after I got it, I started realizing the 3g would take a long time to respond sometimes. For example, I would type in a web address and hit go and the 3g icon on the status bar would not do anything for sometimes up to 1 minute causing the browser to display (page not found). Other apps that require internet do this as well. One day I decided to do a factory reset and the problem went away. After a few weeks, it came back so i did another reset and fixed it. Now back to the same old problem. Finally got tired of doing resets so I'm trying to find out the real solution to the problem. I constantly clean the cache. Previously I did it manually, but now I use cache cleaner which seems to do a good job. I have also tried speed boost lite which doesnt do a bad job either but uninstalled since i like cache cleaner better. Profile and PRL updates help only for a short time even though it didnt really update after checking software versions. I've taken the phone to sprint, they've checked it out, said its fine, and that 10-30 seconds is normal and nothing to complain about. Maybe that would be the case if it was NORMAL but it is not. Has anyone heard of this or have any ideas to fix it? Sorry for all of the reading but if you have any advice at all, it is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Cameron
Well there 3g service is down the drain right now and the lack of good ping could be the reason so my guess is 3g sucks it happens to my evo a lot so I use wifi and 4g when I can
sent from my Motorola XOOM
Thanks for your reply. I'm am happy with the 3G most of the time. At my house, it is almost as fast my wifi (no i dont have slow internet at home either lol). I have no problem streaming HQ Pandora, youtube, and netflix in crystal clear quality on 3G. It is not the network, it is an issue with the phone, a setting, or an app that is causing the problem. If I was to factory reset the phone right now, the problem would go away. I just dont want to reset it anymore and have to reinstall everything. Time to try to figure out the real problem and stop taking the lazy way around
That is weird could be your phone you could back up your apps with titanium backup and restore away or try to unroot then reroot

i just reset, I did forget to mention in the OP that i am not rooted. Haven't gotten the balls to do it yet. I haven't found a good thread to read up on to root yet. Not that i've been looking that hard. I would like to root very soon though
Best way to root I think is unrevoked you need a computer but its easy as pie there are also guides on YouTube
sent from my Motorola XOOM
ya i tried that before but every time i try something goes wrong and i cant do it. Even when i follow videos my phone just doesnt do the same thing as theirs for some reason. lol who knows
Just for ****s and giggles I gave it another go on rooting with unrevoked. Actually got it this time. I have no clue what happened last time. Went smoothly this time. So just basic root, nothing fancy. All i really wanted out of the root was wireless tether. Still want to figure out the unresponsive 3G issue though before it happens again
Glad to hear your on the dark side (rooted) you can learn a lot just by being rooted
evo on cm7
Ya its nice so far but the reset did not fix the unresponsive 3G. Ugh its so annoying! Nobody has any ideas?!
Flash your first rom and do a nandroid
evo on cm7
I am now running cm7 nightly build 83 off of rom manager. I love it!
I'm not having the 3g issue now. Internet seems much faster on this rom

[Q] Anyone having problems with CoPilot and Jellybean?

So I'm an avid fan of CoPilot. I'm able to go from point A to point B without data and using solely GPS. That said, since updating past CM 9, the GPS module has not liked to play nice with CoPilot! I have a video of what I'm talking about:
http://youtu.be/ZypwoUF8xvQ
If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. I do not want to go all the way back to ICS.
Is this experienced on one specific ROM, or is this on EVERY JB ROMs you have used? If not just swap a ROM and see what happens...
Sent from HTC Incredible S @ PACman v21
GPS has been wonky for me on all JB ROMs. You can try a program like GPS Test to clear GPS data. Works for me most of the time.

I agree with frosted. I've also been using GPS status. It allows you to download assisted GPS data and calibrate if needed. It results in much faster and better locks.

Never had a problem before JB roms. No need for any kind of data as I do not have data, and haven't for years. That's why I like this program...don't need data. I've been suggested this gps test program before and it had no effect.
It really baffles me why the GPS does what's shown in the youtube video. I thought it was coincidental until a second phone of mine did the exact same thing. Both are samsung epics. I've tried:
CM 10.1
AOKP 4.2.2
Pac Man latest (v22?)
All are the same.
Edit: GPS test sees some satellites, but never locks.
I'm on CM 10.1 and can not even FIND a GPS satellite let alone lock on it. I have tried all the GPS tests SNC fixes... NADA!! Clean ROM install also... Fixed permissions... Cleared everything... Uninstalled reinstalled... Never had issue before updating from Gingerbread!!

Our phone was never meant to go beyond GB. The fact that it has ICS and JB based roms that were never meant for it is amazing in it's own right. With that in mind, if something doesn't work right give it time and devs will find a fix.
I think I may have learned something. On the first boot, it seems to lock GPS just fine. No alternating like that video. I changed to Slim Bean rom, but I'm hesitant to reboot the device for risk of breaking my GPS. You guys think if it were to break in the future, wiping Dalvik Cache would work? I think I remember reading somewhere (on a different phone) that wiping dalvik cache was required to use a feature (which I believe was MMS). It's a stretch, I know.

I have a 3rd Epic that has this problem. I believe the GPS module might be fried, my friend. I upgraded two other Epics on the same upgrade path with no problems (well, until now).
@Dynamic - Yes, of course. What is done to this phone is simply amazing and has made it so I don't feel I need to upgrade. That, in its own right, is amazing. If the devs do not know that this could be a problem, well how are they going to fix it? I'm not selfish, just trying to help iron out all remaining problems. CoPilot is a great program, too!

Oh, no. I was just thinking I came off as spoiled. Felt I needed to clarify.
Didn't reboot the phone, but tried again to lock the satellites and got the same phenomenon. Wiping the Dalvik cache seems to fix the problem, but I had to re-install CoPilot.
So does that mean there's a problem with the way App Data is being stored?

Not at all
I'd just like to say that GPS test locks just fine, but it seems CoPilot does not. I'm assuming it's a problem with the application then?

I have, but CoPilot randomly works and randomly doesn't. I really couldn't tell you either way if it's fixed. It seems to be a problem exclusively with CoPilot, if other programs work.

I agree, I think CoPilot is the culprit. If it hasn't worked on any JB roms then it sounds like there's an incompatibility issue which I'm sure will be fixed upstream at some point.
So it took me a LONG time, but I FINALLY figured it out! I now have CoPilot working %100, though it sucks my battery (even when plugged in).
On first boot, it works fine, but things I noticed:
-When somebody calls, GPS starts doing this again:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZypwoUF8xvQ
-Rebooting doesn't fix the problem
-Wiping Dalvik and/or cache does not fix the problem.
So what has to be done is you have to go into apps, select the copilot app, clear cache, then exit to homescreen.
Turn off GPS and start up copilot
Go to the "GPS" setting in the menu and turn on GPS
GPS should lock all fine! No more of what happens above.
I mean, it's annoying, but CoPilot is WAY better than my standalone GPS.

[Q] how come suddenly it can't keep a signal after switching sims/services(tmob2aio)

yeah, first thing i accomplished successfully tho not without a lot of wiping an rewiping and installing and reinstalling stuff, was unlocking the phone, then i put in the aio and it did it's thing on it's own and connected wonderfully. first time trying to go back to tmob, it started this misconnection issue. it's basically intermittent closer to non operational, tho i did get a random text tonight from a friend i was unable to respond to, because im like kinda connected for a sec, sometimes i'll see the opposing 4g arrows working in the notification area, but not long enough to get info set in the apn settings, you know where i'm talking about. half of those settings work only when you have a signal, for ex. i do the manual part correctly, hit the save apn button ... nothing saves, nothing happens better after that.
i bet you i need to update that radio huh? just tried to flash a newer rom and it said no because my radio was too old. i could have sworn my stock rom, which is supposed to be the latest... which maybe was old right? its in the threads here, first stock you'll find. probably that rom was cool with the uvle1... confusing stuff. okay, til someone answers otherwise i'm just gonna keep trying to update this radio. i guess it is only good now for unlocking...
okay, so i just flashed jedi mind trick which updated the radio, but the stock rom didn't. so does that mean that some roms will not touch the radio while others will? and what was wrong with the radio before? was it made to work only for the associated older versions of android?
