[Q] Redux glitches? or just me... - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all.
I hope this is in the right section. I have tried looking here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896213&page=447
For any answers, but at over 400 pages it's taking a while!!
I rooted via unrevocked the other day, and flashed Redux. I quite like it but am having the following issues:
WiFi, works fine at home, picked up the signal and signed in easy as. At work however it can't detect anything. On the stock 2.2 it was fine. This is a magor as 3g here is pretty slow. If I can't get WiFi working properly I'm going to have to look for another ROM.
Sound settings in menu. FC's every time.
Camera, may not be an issue as such, but does anyone know how to disable the camera sound? It's incredibly loud and annoying.
Cheers for your help, and if this is in the wrong place please point me to the right one!

Oh just point out what I have or have not done to try and fix this:
I have restarted WiFi router. No change. It was working fine until I flashed Redux.
Works fine at home, and can detect the neighbours WiFi.
I have flashed latest radio ROM 5.17.05.23
I have reflashed Redux. But did not to another complete wipe.
Have tried rebooting and hard reset (remove battery)

Fixed the sound menu issue with a full wipe and reset.
WiFi still not picking up at work. Have flashed a new Kernel 2.6.35.8 manu 1.4
Will see if that chnages anything

For me the screen flickers when I use Android Market and scroll up and down!
Very annoying!

Ok new kernel changed nothing.
Did full wipe are reflash. No change.
Flashed Leedroid 2.2 ROM. WiFi at work instantly working fine.
So flashed Oxygen 2.3 ROM. No WiFi at work.
There is something in those 2 GB ROMs that stops my Desire seeing my works WiFi net work. Any ideas??

I would try to flash radio:

I hope you know how to do this. No warrany for any damage.

Cheers for the reply.
I have that radio already.
It seems it is a very common issue in 2.3 and is to do with hidden SSID on the WiFi.
Not sure why it affects 2.3 and not 2.2 but lots are complaining about it.
Will have to find out the SSID to connect

I seemed to have cured my SSID issue

Got me straight in. Once I had connected, reconnecting works fine. I even uninstalled the app to check and it's sweet as

Connectivity Problems with GingerSense ROMs

Hi all!
I've been using Desire for about six months and I've changed lots of ROM's without facing serious problems...
A few days ago I decided to flash a ROM with Gingerbread and Sense UI.
So I flashed LeeDrOiD 3.0.2 (full wiped).
After flashing, I immediately tried to connect to my router, in order to sync my Gmail account and to download some apps.
I noticed that although the device was successfully connected to my router, it could not connect to the Internet.
The browser wouldn't load any site, I couldn't sync my Gmail etc...
Reflashing the ROM and rebooting the router unfortunately didn't solve the problem.
I thought it was a ROM's bug, so I rolled back to another Froyo ROM (Internet was fine here), because I had to leave for vacations and I needed a fully functional device.
Now that I returned to my home, I saw that LeeDrOiD 3.0.3 was out! I flashed it, but I got disappointed when I faced the same problem.
The device was successfully connected to my router, but I had no Internet at all.
Then I flashed AuraxTremeGinger 8.5, and guess what... Again, the exact same problem.
So I asked a neighbor to give me his router's key...
I noticed that when I was connecting to his router, I could download anything I wanted.
Meaning Internet was working just fine!
I never had this problem with any Froyo ROM, never had it with any Gingerbread AOSP ROM...
Only with ROM's which combine Gingerbread and Sense UI.
Can someone find out what's going on here, or at least give me some advice about this?
Change the wireless channel
Sent from CM7
Meaple thanks for the reply!
I changed the channel from 1 to 13 and I noticed something really strange.
If I try to load any site within 4-5 secs from the time I change the channel, the site will be successfully loaded.
After 4-5 secs, nothing will work.
Which means that I have Internet for the first 4-5 secs (from the time time I'll change the channel), and afterwards nothing...
Did you flash new radio and ril.zip for gingerbread?
Most of gingerbread roms' ril are not for GB.
S-off RCMIXv8++ cm7hboot
htc-ril2.2.0131HM
You don't need the RIL if you're using the 2.3.3 Sense ROM as it's already in it. Radio is recommended, though
Thanks for the replies!
I flashed the 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 Radio (which is the recommended one for LeeDrOiD), I even upgraded to LeeDrOiD 3.0.4 but still no luck...
It's really frustrating cause I can't understand what's going on...
Hi once again!
I revived the thread, only to mention that the problem was fixed by upgrading my router's firmware.

[SOLUTION] For those having problems with CM7 on nordic 177

Since I can't post in the Dev forum yet, I'll do it here:
The culprit for the WiFi, Market not working, Google Talk spitting out connection errors is the nordic 177 ROM. I went back to 155 and everything is good here.
So everyone, go back to a more stable ROM in order to test CM7 without introducing more variables into the equation.
Thanks.
No problem in my case. CM7 on noric.
If it works for you then you're lucky. I had these issues and I read all over the forums about them. I hope my posy will help some people.

It works for me as well. In fact, I flashed first the Fixed Nordic, and it crashed all over...but as soon as I flashed with the FULL nordic, since then, no issues. Everything that has been reported as working, including GPS (locking in 1-2 minutes), WiFi, Camera, video camera, and Mic on Speaker Phone.... is working so far. I just make sure that I wipe all the info before installing a new update.
And I installed the FULL nordic to another friend and no issue either for this other person.
People should stick 100% with instructions and if THEN something dont work, report. In any other case ppl are creating chaos.
[EDIT] Accidentally posted in wrong forum, sorry - but solved by completly reinstalling again in the meantime...
Apart from the GPS issues, I was very happy with this CM7 ROM until I noticed today that I have a problem receiving SMS - sending works fine, the SMSC number is correct and the SIM-card works fine in any other phone for that matter, but I cannot receive any text messages.
Calling, MMS and Mobile Data all work. Any idea what else I could try before performing a complete reinstall of beta5 or reverting back to an old backup?
I came from Barebones 1.5 on a x.155 base via 4.1, the busybox fix and then beta5 which all worked flawlessly.
aGPS working only for me?
Hi, just to mention that I did flash the FULL nordic SBF + beta5, and they say that SBF doesn't make any difference. I cannot tell, I have only tested this one so far.
If I am not wrong at enabling aGPS, I guess under the menu Settings -> Location, if the wireless networks option is enabled, the aGPS should be working. If I start the compass, it displays my location with GPS off. And If I go to another part of the city, it will display quite accurately the new location (no GPS was turned on in the meantime). So I assume that aGPS is working.
Were you fixed or Full nordic, shiftear?
Full nordic. Apart from the above issues I also had market failing downloads. Since then I went back to 155 and reflashed CM7, so far zero problems.
I cannot stress this enough, something newer isn't necessarily better, I was lucky because I had CM7 on 155 before and made the correlation when I "upgraded" to 177. This nordic SBF doesn't play well with my (EU) Defy.
Check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060347, again market failing downloads. Too bad I can't post in Dev yet.
It is true with market failing downloads but after second page download, same thing with browser, maybe wi-fi it is the problem?
I have also CM7 after 3.5.1. nordic 177 also with camera zoom. I will try reflash 155 and then CM7.

[Q] did my radio update break my gps?!?

So I've been running cm7 for a while now with no problems at all with my GPS after the sense GPS fix. Today I updated my radio prl pri combo thing and my GPS only locks for 1 second or so then even the icon dissapears. So I flashed cm7 over itself and its still broke. Anyone know a good combo for the GPS or a fix?
Have you tried the re-doing the "sense GPS fix" you mentioned? You can asking try shutting down your device, pulling the battery, reinserting the battery and then powering up your device to see if that helps.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
Yeah I've pulled the battery more then once. Does anyone know if updating radio combo ect... would make me need to do the sense fix again?
Because that's a giant pain in the ass.
Hi, did you ever got your radio to work again? I have the exact same problem now. I tried an old rom (Floyo 1.2) and thought I might as well update the radio. I did a full wipe and everything went fine, but I can never get a GPS signal. I have tried GPS status and toolbox -> reset -> download assist data but to no luck. Then I tried six different radio versions (old and new), the Floyo Euro GPS zip, the Salsa rom and Elelinux' 2.3.4 rom but none of them works. If I try to let GPS status keep running for a minute or so, the phone will eventually do a hard reboot :/

Try and flash back to a sense based rom and reflash the updated radio and then update your prl reboot and update your profile do that twice should clear up your issues.
miui-us I'm having issues with GPS on CM7 as well, but I never got it to work with a sense fix or anything...I'm going to see if I can get it working when I flash a sense rom first. If it works then I'll try what you said.
Same thing happened to me after updating the radios. Looks like it's time for the PITA Sense and back fix.
Trying it now, but it takes about an hour, I will get back to you....

[Q] Desire seems to restart when using 3G

I've been using my desire for about 1 year now and never had any problems until I decided to go back to Leedroid gingerbread rom and install the patches for A2SD+ with ext 3.
I was having restarts every 10-15 minutes on Leedroid, went back to CM7, currently on cm7 7.0.2 and I'm still getting restarts when I wasn't previously.
I have asked this question before and thought it was an issue with the SD card. Now the reason I thought it was the SD was when I was having loops of restarts I would take it out and it would be quite stable for a while. Formatted everything (SD and internal + cache) put on the latest radio rom and then put on the latest CM. Seemed to run fine for a while and then started restarting again. It locks up on the HTC screen occasionally and requires me to pull the battery.
I've noticed that it only happens when I'm using 3G internet connectivity. Just recently it tried to get a lot of updates and would start downloading them only to restart. It does eventually get the updates though.
To test this I can start watching a youtube video and it will crash. For example I just watched 1 minute of one video before it crashed, after reboot I started youtube again and it crashed immediately.
Can I stop log cat removing all the logs when the device restarts so I can have a look what's going on? Any other ideas on how to diagnose or fix would be much appreciated.
What's your radio?
My Radio version is
32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 and I'm running CynogenMod 7.0.3
I used something else before I switched to leedroid an old one, I changed it to go to Leedroid then changed it to this hoping it would help.
Flashed newest correcspondig ril 2.2.1003G?
Thread for radio/ril here on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902752
No I have never flashed a RIL before, didn't even know what these where. I'll give that a shot and see what happens.

RIL (by System of a pWne!^)
Radio interface layer. This is a layer between the Radio and the ROM. It communicates with the hardware over the Radio and supplies an interface for the ROM so it can use the hardware. This is similar to a driver.
Whenever you flash a new Radio, you should also consider flashing the corresponding RIL for it. This makes sure, the Radio is getting adressed correctly.

I was running the RIL suggested above yesterday, had about 11 hours and no issues, updated all my apps, was watching youtube etc.. I was trying to do stuff that usually would make it crash. Eventually I turned on my wifi at home and as soon as it came on the phone rebooted. It then proceeded to reboot every time I tried to go on the internet, with either 3g or wifi, I tried about 3-4 times. Leaving it with internet off for about 30 mins, I came back to it and it started working on wifi fine. Strange. TL;DR ril didn't seem to fix it. Seems like if I can get it back to stock I can go to the shop and change it.

Another GPS Problem

Hey guys,
Don't shoot me, I've already done the research and still can't seem to find an answer. Regardless of ROM I can't get GPS to find any satellite's, fresh root, SR4.2, Synergy RC2, CM7 nightly, MIUI, Virtuous. I unrooted to see if it was a possible hardware issue, which it isn't as an unrooted phone gives me fast locks onto whatever sat is near. GPS Status shows nothing in the sky even after a A-GPS reset and download, although I know there's always at least 3 that are visible. I've tried clearing cache for any gps based app, tried running fresh rom installs instead of backups all with no luck. Any ideas guys?
Currently I'm running:
ROM - SR 4.2
Baseband - 2.15.00.07.28
Kernel - Stock Kernel from SR4.2 (2.6.32.17-g9a2fc16 htc-kernel[email protected] #1
PRL - 52341
HW Version - 0002
CWM - 3.0.0.7
HBoot - 0.92.0000
Radio - 2.15.00.07.28
Looks like I'm stuck going back to stock unrooted until I can get this fixed.
I'm having the exact same problem. Tried multiple roms and doing A-GPS resets. I'm not sure what else to try, anyone have any other ideas? May have to unroot for now so I can use GPS while traveling.

If you are in NY or other new 4g area it may be related to a problem others are having with AGPS upate VZW pushed. No ROM seems to work.
yep, it was an issue with New York. We drove to Boston on Sunday, I tried clearing my A-GPS in western Massachusetts and suddenly got a lock on GPS! Google maps then worked perfectly all the way to Boston.
Well there is no way I'm giving up root or custom roms, Google or Verizon need a better solution than that.
I actually fixed mine and never left NY, I dropped to stock then went back to SR 4.3 and haven't had a problem since, and I've flashed 3.0 roms and SR 4.3 multiple times with no problem. So if you're still having a problem unroot then reroot. It should fix it.
