I've tried running cm7.0.3 and virtuous 1.0.2 and I can't get a GPS lock while using runkeeper. Is this because of my location?? or the rom?
I've also tried the clear cache zip file for CM7 and it still didn't work.
Thanks
Did your GPS work when you were stock?
There are quite a few reports of GPS issues with CM, I know I experienced (and still do to some degree) a lot of them.
There are several things that people have tried to fix this issue..
You can wipe your "EFS" data, I tried this and it made things different but I'm not sure if it made them better.
You can flash a new radio, I'm currently running 12.50.60.24_26.08.04.16 and it's working reasonably well for me but there is a newer one available that I plan on switching to the next time I upgrade CM
See http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/21454-gps-on-g2-not-working-stable-7/ for more information
Thanks, tried wiping efs but that didn't work. Will try the radio now

Hey everyone,
So I have been having problems connecting my evo to my bluetooth fm transmitter for my car (I can't post links yet, but it is on amazon, the gogroove flexsmart x2) ever since I switched from cm6.1.2 to miui 12.31. The transmitter was working perfectly, and my phone would pair and connect to it flawlessly, however, when I switched to miui, it didn't work at all. It would just not connect, no matter what I did. So I tried switching kernels around, and none of them worked (I tried about 3 kernels on cyanogen before I switched to miui, and switching didn't cause any issues). So I decided to go back to cyanogen, yet my bluetooth didn't work when I restored to a nandroid backup. Bluetooth still wasn't working. So then I went into clockwork and wiped my data/cache and installed the latest cm6 and bluetooth worked. Excited, I installed all of my applications, got my settings right, and installed a different kernel. When I switched kernels to try out a savage one, my bluetooth wouldn't connect. Nothing would work to bring that back, so I deleted my data/cache again and got it to work. Everything worked fine, but I wanted a different kernel, so I tried putting on snap 7.6, and it won't work anymore. I am not entirely sure what to do. I can re-install cm6 by clearing my data/cache, but I want to know why I can't use any other kernels that worked previously. Any suggestions?
Recently, I posted on cyanogen forums, and someone said to use Calkulin's format all zip as well as clear davlik cache. That didn't wok. I also tried going onto a sense rom and installing a sense kernel which didn't work either. I'm not entirely sure what to do. The thing that bothers me the most, not that I can't be on a different kernel than the stock cm6 one, it is that I don't have the option to change, but I did before.
Thanks so much for any help!
Almost sounds like it may be a hardware problem. Most of the software fixes I would suggest you've already tried with no luck. Keep in mind hardware can fail.

I would think that it is a hardware problem, but I am lead to believe it is something dealing with the kernel because when I am on a stock cm6 kernel, it works, but when I change the kernel, it fails.
EDIT: Also, would you recommend maybe unrooting my phone and completely resetting it?
I justest loaded CM 6.1.2 on my HTC evo and now every time i try to use my camera it freezes and has to force close. Any idea's? I'm new at this whole phone moding thing, so if I left out any important info just tell me. I had someone who is more experienced help me root my phone and load the rom so I don't think I messed up anything there.
Hmmm...that's strange.....I had the CM on my phone, and didn't experience any camera issues. Are you using a custom kernel?
Have you tried clearing the data and cache from the camera and then opening the camera back up? (Settings/Applications/Manage Apps/Camera) This has helped others on certain roms. Not sure on CM though.
Also, agreed with the kernel thing from filmaker. Sometimes that will do it. Try a different one.
Good luck!
I'll try that, thanks. I loaded a different rom on my phone and I'm having some problems with it, I'll reload cm and try what you told me. As to the custom kernel question, I dont believe I do. I also read on the cm forum about CM6.1.2 having issues with the camera pm newer evos and they talked about a fix but I couldn't seem to find it.
Having sorta the same problem... I switched to CM6 and the camera is just buggie... It either wont take a picture, lags really bad or FC's... I've tried clearing the data out of it but that seems to have made it worse.... Any other idea people? Thanks
Oh, I'm runnin CM6 with a stock kernel... maybe try a different kernel? And if so, can I just flash a kernel without changin anything elese like radios and what not?
Well I reinstalled cm and the camera worked prefect for a while but its not working now. I tried what you said and it didn't work. I have the stock kernal as well.

hhhmm... that's prolly gonna be a deal breaker for me if I can't get it fixed... I use my phone camera quite a bit
Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvik between ROMs? How about system?
Well I know I wiped data, cache and dalvik... and I think I wiped system (If that's an option in to do from recovery then yeah I did)..
What recovery are you using and what rev? When I first tried CM6.1.2 I was using RomManger, which was using ClockWork 3.x.x.x recovery. I couldn't get CM6 to run for more than a day without having issues. I was able to switch to Amon_RA 2.2.1 and flash a few other ROMs which ran fine for days without any issues. I have since loaded up the EvoNonsense 4.3.1 ROM, which feels a lot like Cyanogen but still has Sense, so everything works (4G, HDMI, Camera/Camcorder, etc...). Anywho, not sure if using Amon_RA recovery will fix your Cyanogen issues or not but it may be worth a try. If that doesn't work out then you may want to try the EvoNonsense ROM.

So I recently installed MIUI, and as soon as I did my Wifi radio stopped working. Every time I try to switch it, it turns back off and says "error."
I figured this was a problem with my radio (26.02.01.15_M2) when I found another irksome problem. When I go to flash PC10IMG.zip the bootloader gets to "Checking PC10IMG.zip) and then quits and refuses to attempt the update.
Any ideas?
I apologize if this question has been asked, but I couldn't find anything similar in the short search I did.
Thanks in advance!
Could be a bad download? Which Radio are you trying to flash?
Download the radio from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
Dont know what ROM you are running but Vision_Radio_12.52. 60.25_26.08.04.30 seems to be a good one,download the attached file for wiping the EFS(Important when flashing radios)
The link has further instructions and information,hope that helps
Hey, thanks for your response! I actually tried three different Radios from that thread (the first three), and none of them worked. I ran an efs wipe yesterday because I was having GPS problems, and these problems persisted after that...
FWIW, when I flash other kernels/ROMs, things work fine (CM7, PyroMod, Stock) but on MIUI these problems crop up.

Do you mean you can update the radio with other ROMs or do you mean that the wifi problem is only on MIUI?If your problem is only with MIUI cant help as I dont use that ROM but still doesnt explain your problem with flashing a radio as the bootloader is independent of the ROM
I think the wifi radio and the cellular radio are different and when you flash the radio firmware, it only updates the cellular radio firmware. Someone more knowledgable than me will probably correct me. It's probably something screwy with the MIUI roms which is effecting you. If you want to use MIUI then try one of the other MIUI roms that are out there and also notify the developer of the MIUI rom your using about your issue.
I hate the recent radios for G2 latest one from Bell sucks. Signal drops every few seconds, data connection is just OK. Very disappointed. I did the efs wipe and auto ril matcher V6 and all this other bs and I hate it.

I have been searching throughout this forum and across many other websites to no avail before asking this.
For the last month, WiFi and Bluetooth has not been working on my Desire HD, and no matter what I do I cannot get them to work again - I have tried factory resets, many different roms, restoring my first nandroid backup (just after the phone had been rooted, still stock rom), replacing the bcm4329.ko driver with a couple of others, but no joy.
My logcat reports:
Code:
E/rmt_storage( 3308): rmt_storage wait even ioctl failed
I/WiFiHw ( 1465): wifi_load_driver end error 2
E/WiFiService( 1465): Failed to load Wi-Fi driver.
I desperately need help with this, it is becoming incredibly frustrating as I used to use WiFi a large amount on a daily basis - any help would be extremely useful!!
what rom are you currently running? have you done a full cache/dalvik/full wipe before installing and make sure u restore nothing before testing? what radio are you running? a corrupted radio img file is possible
also, what did you do RIGHT before you lost your wifi?

I am currently on Android Revolution HD 7.0.3, but just before that I was on Playground ICS and before that SmartDroid, and the problem has occurred on all of them.
I haven't been restoring any backups at all, I always do a full wipe before installing a new rom and I have tried cache and dalvik cache wipes as well.
Currently the radio I am using is 12.62.60.27U_26.13.04.19_M but I have tried a couple! Do you have any suggestions of any particular radios, or anything else worth trying?
Thanks for the assistance!

im at work currently so forgive my quick typed replies. Dumb idea, turn off your phone, remove the sd card and then boot up without it. Ive seen cases where the sd card has caused connectivity issues.
the radio i use is 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
been using it a long time, not the greatest d/l speeds, but most reliable (yes we all know its case by case basis for radios)
other thing i would try, is check all you antenna connections. each door functions as an antenna for a different device on the desirehd.
if it is repeating this same error across the board, it becomes more possible its hardware.
Hmm, this is very bizarre:
Clearing the cache and dalvik cache seems to make the WiFi work for a while (it lasted for about 3 or 4 hours yesterday), but after a while it will go back to saying "WiFi error".
I have tried formatting my memory card, but it still goes back to not working again, so I am going to see what happens when I leave the card out entirely and then report back on my findings.
Thank you for all the suggestions, I just really want my WiFi working again permanently!
Howdy,
So I'm another user having problems with GPS on my HTC Wildfire. I tried pretty much everyhing. Flashed all different radio versions via Recovery, fastboot and Android Flasher. Also I installed the agps patch. None of these solved my problem.
Before doing all this I had no GPS status bar icon at all. Now at least I have an icon showing me that he is constantly searching for GPS.
I also used GPS Test to clear and update AGPS but no luck.
Finally I tried several custom ROMS, from CM, to Splashmod and rempuzzle and all of them have this problem. So it's ROM independent.
What else can I try?
Fasterfix and gps essentials are the 2 apps that helped me fix my gps once.. and i had even used the agps patch by crypted for more accuracy

If you did all the above really clean - I mean with formatting/wiping/factory resets etc. it could also be a hardware problem in the end. But from my experience there are just a lot of pitfalls why solutions won't work.
The fact that you didn't get the icon show up before but now it does looks to me that it's not a hardware problem. My suggestion would be to reflash either the radio and the ROM again - but as clean as possible.
- look into "The Complete Wildfire Index" thread (in "General") pick the radio in the middle and flash that first
- do a clean wipe of at least the system partition, cache and dalvik-cache (I also do "format system" and sometimes a "wipe all/factory reset" to be sure and it couldn't hurt to wipe data also - your decision)
- flash the ROM you want to use
- flash gapps
- reboot and look what it does (this most likely won't do at that point)
- flash the newest of the 3 radios afterwards and see if this helps
--- Edit --- to flash two different radios is a dirty trick to remove leftovers or problems because wiping or formatting doesn't touch the radio --- EDIT ---
For testing GPS I suggest GPS Status from the market (best tool in my opinion). You could delete ags data as well with it.
The agps patch (I'm using it too) is just for optimization (to get faster responses) - it won't help if your GPS doesn't work at all.
Hello guys,
I finally resolved the issue and realised that GPS was working all the time well. However, I always tried to search for a signal inside a building in front of my computer and was not aware of the fact that the signal might be too weak to be received from within inside...:silly:
Anyway, the flashing method apparently did the trick!
Cheers
