Recent GPS issues anyone? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As of recently my GPS has been bugging out on me when I drive around. I did the GPS fix prior to having flashed CM7 a while back and it has helped. Until recently since its been bugging out.
Anyone else?

Wow. That's very descriptive. When you feel compelled to actually describe the problem you're having, someone might feel compelled to help you.

Do the sense fix and update to the latest nightly. Helps to post your question with what CM 7 version your running to get more answers. Keep up to date on the nightly most bugs are fixed now.

at least for me.. i found opening up GPS Status tends to work.. and sometimes not...
when it does have some trouble.. i toggle the gps off and back on.. and go back to GPS Status... i dunno.. but that always seems to work for me.

[Q] Incoming phone crash

ok so this sucks ass... when i get a incoming call it wont wake and when i wake it the phone force closes... i am running cm7 build 14 and was curious if anyone else had this problem or if i accidentally changed something
Did you try rollin back to 13 or earlier?
it's already discussed in the cm6/7 nightlies thread..roll back to 13...
Before rolling back, I'd try a wipe and reinstall as not everyone on the #15 (or #14) is having this issue.
I didn't have the problem on #14 but I did on #15. I'm wiping now to see if it fixes the issue.
EDIT: Did not fix the issue. Still FC's.
Yeah, I am seeing a lot of people in the nightly thread in the dev forum having this issue. It's strange because by some divine intervention this is one of the problems I am NOT experiencing when the masses are I should consider myself lucky. Just flashed #16 and have no FCs on phone app...

AOKP issues

First of all, I want to say that I absofreakinglutely love this ROM. I have FINALLY convinced my friends with Evos to root and give this thing a shot because of what this ROM is capable of.
I have two issues that maybe I can get some assistance with. I am running Milestone 4.
First, the GPS just doesn't work. I lose GPS signal instantly and it does not guide me. I have flashed GAPPS, this did not actually put Maps on my phone so I installed it from the market. Any assistance with this would make me pretty much shutup.
Second, there is a lag when I turn on the screen to when the screen actually turns on. I haven't officially timed it, but I would say it is a second, maybe slightly longer. I have turned off all animation. This problem isn't going on 100% of the time, but at least 50%.
Thank you for reading!
Welcome to the world of running Alpha ROMs.
So there isn't anything we can do about these things?

Look into an updated GPS radio. AOKP Build28 ran GPS fine on my handset, apart from GoogleMaps liking to drain battery in the background....I had flashed an updated GPS radio when on CM7.1 last year

CM10 RC4 Soft reboot loop

Hi everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I've had a search and it doesn't seem that anyone else is having this issue.
I installed CM10 RC4 the day it came out, then around a few days ago it started a soft reboot loop. I decided to wipe it + caches and reflash RC4. It lasted a day before it started happening again. I think I've stopped it by turning off WiFi.. Is anyone else having any issues like this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: it just did it again despite not being on WiFi..
I just checked the known bugs on the official CM10 thread and it seems that GPS + Facebook causes this issue, I thought it had been fixed as I haven't experienced this for a few months. Oh well! I'll turn off GPS and see if that helps.

CM10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-e975. What do you think? Bugs?

Updated to 10.2 and has not detected any bugs yet. What do you think? Do you think it comes out a stable version?
Sorry if there is thread. I'm pretty new to the whole thing.
So, I think I've found a bug. Or is it just for me.
I can not see my baseband version. But I have no problem with calling or anything. I really do not understand what the problem might be.
Besides, it seems to float on the good. Otherwise I downgrade to 10.1 again.
NFC cant be toggled properly on SNAPSHOT M1. Back to Nightlies for me!
And what are you developing here??

Bugs:
WIFI --> When the phone is in standby the WIFI is on, but not connected.
Graphicbug --> Sometimes the transitioneffect flickering
Lockscreen transitioneffect --> Swype to right sight on the lockscreen and the camera will be open. Power off the phone and unlock the phone normal. No transitioneffect will be shown.
So it isnt just me then. hopefully they will fix this
no issues here to date, but i notice that the phone is hot sometimes, even if im not playing games or something,
The main issues so far are WiFi and NFC.

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
I've been lurking around XDA for a while looking for a good build about the new CM12 for my i317m and Ive decided to get yours.
You seem to give a good feedback concerning bugs and etc..
I am currently running the latest snapshot of CM11 while writing these lines and I have been pretty satisfied with this ROM so far.
Im an heavy user of my phone since i use it to almost everything concerning my job (highway trucker) so, i believe ill be able to give you the best feedback for the developlement of this CM12!
Ill keep you updated!
Ive CLEAN flash cm12 in my note 2.
First thing first, it looks absolutely amazing!
But first bug that ive encountered, Netflix.
It just wont open.
For the rest, ill keep you updated!
Ok, here's a MAJOR DEFECT on my day 2.
The phone keeps rebooting in this particular order; 3 soft reboot and normal reboot.
And it's keeps on going like that non-stop.
The GPU is ****ing hot right now, dunno if this might help but I'm going to flash the old cm11 on it; im just unable to use the phone...
Keep me updated, thanks.

There's an issue with CM12. Right now until a fix is done, you need to keep Wifi turned on.
Every one out right now is doing it.

Don't think there's a need for the info. It's a known issue. Fixes are in progress. That's pretty much the last major issue left. Camera, Data, GPS
all are working.
***** And it looks like he's posted an update with the fix .......
I was just wondering if y'all have tried the 12/20 build... It should help fix the wifi crash/reboot issues. (edit: Sorry disksteele... Didn't see your red text... I really should start paying attention before posting... lol)
When using the gps, the phone will run hot. It shouldn't get hot enough to do any damage in most conditions, but if you're using gps while charging with the phone in your pocket or on the dashboard during a sunny day with the heater on... Who knows... Good luck!
Have a good one!

Actually... It's a commit by Gianmarco Reverberi that's been merged into the cm-12.0 code that fixed the reboots. Change-Id: I6c46ed1eb45a45df2e89646f472a649dc4a99319

Awesome Thank you !
Hey guys,
Ive given a new chance to this ROM and ive gotta say that it runs pretty great!
However, despite a minor bug at the charging logo, ive hit 2 bugs that kinda annoy me.
-Netflix: stay on the opening page and calls a fault code after 5 mins.
-Music while plugged on headphone/car audio jack: songs just stops to play all of a sudden for no apparent reason.
Anyway, this build is pretty great while waiting for the official update.
Thanks for this beauty!

I think there's a drm issue with the lollipop builds for now preventing Netflix from working... But I could be mistaken.
The headphone issue is probably the same "OK Google" issue that popped up in the KitKat builds. Disable "OK Google" in Google Now/Google Search and see if that helps with media playback through headphones. Good luck!
Have a good one!

Thanks for the quick reply! Ill be trying this out tomorrow while Ill be on the road!
For the record, ill point out something real quick that did happen to me yesterday.
Ive been going kinda far away from civilisation to go at my Xmas party. Ive got to mention it because I wasnt able to get my data from time to time.
Got to mention that went i was stock on my phone, everything was normal. I wasnt getting a full signal but my data was on all the time.
It is possible that Ive got to a shorter signal range with this mod?

I have found that the lollipop builds are slow to switch from LTE to 3G or below, so there can be a fair bit of data interruption while LTE signal is low or drops out. In some areas around me, I have to manually change to 3G in order to have a stable connection, because the LTE signal isn't strong enough to remain stable, and the phone wouldn't switch automatically to the stronger 3G signal.
Have a good one!
Here's a little update concerning certains bugs that Ive mention above.
Music player:
Even with "Ok Google" turned off, there's still a noticeable glitch while a song is playing. After 2-3 minutes, the song would just pause itself. Ive even tried playing with the equalizer (Audio FX in this case), turned on or off, the result stays the same.
Data loss:
Changed manually to LTE to 3G that it worked. I had to wait 2-3 minutes before having it back tho.
Hope this helps!

I flashed CM12 quite a few times already. Here are the problems that I have been facing.
Email app takes a long time to sync. And I cannot use corporate account.
When I touch something, the running application would be interrupted quickly like flipping the lights on and off.
And most importantly, the audio on the phone is too low. I tried many ways and could not get it to go higher. I can't even carry a conversation on it.
So now I'm back to my old rom.
netflix not an issue
just follow this post replace exactly the lib files , rename the old one in the folder as *backup...and netflix will load

Gotta admit that Ive been facing the same issues right here and Ive got some more to add on, unfortunely..
Navigation with Maps/Waze.
I better use it the old way which means, directions by directions. As a trucker myself, this is really annoying since my deliveries depends on it.
Incall volume.
It's low and to fix it, you have to go out of the phone app while calls is still on, get the volume up to keep going. Still dunno if my voice is okay on the other side.
Data/signal loss.
You don't have to go really far away from big cities to complety lose all lf your signal bars.
Plus, the fact of losing data pretty easily and having to switch from LTE to 3G make thing slightely better, doesn't really helps...
Unfortunately, i really loved this ROM on the first sight and wish hard as hell to give a second chance. But right now, i had to go back to my old one.
P.S.: I am posting these informations to help OP/developers where to look at. I dont want this to be seen as some negative feedback from my sorry ass...
Hope this helps once more!
Gotta say I'm loving this ROM. I'm on AT&T i317, coming from AICP Kitkat, and this thing is definitely a daily driver. Been on it for 3 days now. Good battery life, camera works, video playback is good (except embedded within browser or apps sometimes, but that has always made my phone crash while on Kitkat, on occasion.) In Chrome, I get some "distortion" or artifacts when scrolling up on down on pages where images or video are embedded. Have never seen this behavior before. Baseband is good and strong on LTE. I did notice one or two times where it lost signal for about 15 seconds then reacquired. Netflix is a no-go but I will try crislleen's suggestion and posted link above. GPS seems right on, but I haven't done a turn-by-turn trip yet. Everytime I open Google Maps, it snaps right to my location.
I only needed to clean flash the 12/23 ROM and then applied the sensor patch as mine were not working. But working great after that patch. Netflix patch is next.
Is support for this ROM going to continue? Or was it just an experiment?
Big thanks to all involved in development. Great work guys.
