I haven't used GPS in so long that I didn't realize it didn't work on the latest version of cm7 for me. How can I fix that?

Seems like he got you, but I still don't know how it doesn't work for so many people.

Just one of those things. Like how some Evos can handle higher overclocking or more unvolting than others.
So do I have to change my NV as well? Cause I would really like to take advantage of my gps so me and the lady don't get lost again haha it never happened.

Yes, its always best to keep your PRI & NV on the same version, in addition to the other directions.
all I did was flash the GPS fix (with cm7.1 and tiamat) and I'm again not getting GPS. I guess I'll need to go to that post and do all those steps? I'm just worried because there was a disclaimer that read "At this time, I can no longer recommend the below steps!!!, but I can still let you know that the GPS driver files below are pretty damned awesome." so i'm concerned.
thank you for this

Has anyone figured out how to juice up the radio? Much like overclocking the CPU, but with the radio to improve up and down signal.
Willing to run any experimental programming on my phone if anyone has something to try out.
I'm not worried about bricking my phone, as that's already happened and I've brought it back to life again, so gimme all you've got!!!

Haven't ever seen anything like that, no.
.......and FYI if you're still using it, it wasn't "bricked"

You could always try the other released radios. The 11.xx has been scoring some pretty "oh my goodness, how fast can I uninstall this thing" ratings, but the 9.xx may do you some good. On all radios, YMMV; and be VERY VERY careful when flashing.
When it bricked it was stuck in an infinite boot loop, then after a few tries, wouldnt go further than hboot. I got lucky and found a way to restore an old rom I saved to my PC with the sdcard. I'm just glad I could still get it to run clockwork recovery.

Bricked actually means that you can't power it on its 100% unresponsive.

Interestingly, the 11.x radio increased my battery life about 20% (no major impact on my reception, if anything it seemed to have cost me a dB or two) compared to the 7.x radio. Tried the 9.x for a few days; cost me nearly half my battery life and caused the phone to run above 100F just for surfing the web.
It's DEFINITELY a YMMV situation.

Your phone wasn't even remotely close to being bricked. That would be kind of like saying a dislocated shoulder is total paralysis.
A bricked phone is one that can't do anything at all and is completely unrecoverable. A basic rule of thumb is that if you can get to the bootloader, the phone is in no way bricked.

Flashing radios is the number one way to brick your phone; basically, be careful and check MD5 sums.

As a result ive succesfully rooted my phone and have even tried out a few custom roms! However I have a question about a ROM im currently using but I cant post in the dev forum yet so I figured ill try here. Im currently using the digital warfare ROM and ive noticed that my powersave feature does not seem to work correctly. It will kick in regardless of the battery percentage I set.

First I want to give you huge props for actually reading and doing all that on your own instead of posting a ton of useless threads with questions that can easily be found! But to answer your question, the My Account app has its own power save feature, try going into that app and adjusting it from there or just disabling it all together. Hope this helps.

Welcome to the family.
This phone is pretty beast, and it will only get better.
Thanks! I can tell! making the transition from hw Kb to all touch is kinda weird but this.phone is so capable and powerful its awesome!
Welcome dude and yea i would just disable this phone is great with battery life anyways. One suggestion tho i would freeze tmobile my account all together in titanium backup or uninstall it tgats if u have it installed it actually messes with wifi. When your on wifi it will turn on 4g signal whenever data is requested which isnt good cuz u think ur using wifi the whole time. Ever since ive disabled tgat app i have not had a problem with wifi or 4g service. I actually think its a way for tmobile to snoop on our data. I made a thread about this and other people have confirmed this app to be the culprit. I actually was gonna take my phone back because i couldnt get wifi to stay connected so thats when i started investigating and found this
Hmm I like to keep track of my data usage but if thats the case away it goes!

It's not unusual for a phone to get warm when running cpu/gpu intensive processes like games. It only becomes a problem when it gets incredibly hot and forces the phone to reboot or the battery gets too hot to touch.

Thanks. now i'm having a new problem. My phone will just randomly shut off and I cant turn it back on until I pull the battery. It has happened twice so far
is your phone hot when this happens? try darksides kernel. haven't had an issue.

not hot. i just flashed his new rom/kernel combo with a clean wipe and as i was messing around with milocker it did it again. just shut off on me. only way to bring it back is to pull the battery. very strange.
You using a new ROM? I know you said new ROM/kernel combo but that could imply same ROM new,kernel. If youre on the same ROM, check the thread to see if its an issue with it I guess. Could always try a new one and see if that fixes it. Let us know if you find out anything.

No it is not possible. The exynos is only compatible with WiMax. That is why the skyrockets (LTE SIIs) have snapdragons in them. Not to mention the Epic Touch doesn't have any LTE radios in it.

But on topic, if one were to access a better network it wouldn't be through Wimax at all. You say this phone is Wimax only, do you not have 3,2- or 1g?

I am obviously not saying this phone can access LTE..... But saying it is ONLY compatible with WiMAX is false, unless Ive been using WiMAX for 3,2, and 1g for half a year without knowing and without the WiMAX radio not being on most of the time.... And WiFi, albeit related is still... Not WiMAX....
I see more and more of this misinformation and it is not only wrong, its counter-productive. If you know the answer to his question (no, in this case) tell him. No need for arrogant speculation on top.. Or something...

anyone else having the same problem? im not using it heavily, just texting; i have 6h 37m on it and i have currently at 15%. i have SetCPU at 800mhz and brightness is less than half. everything should be fine right?
another question, are the Kobridge Super Build.prop automatically on? or how do i turn them on. (if possible provide videos on how to do so.)
yes, i acknowledge the fact that i am a noob.

also 3g doesnt seem to be working, usually on calk's 3.0 gb rom it would be 40.0kB/s now its just horrible. average 3.0kB/s. yes it do have good signal.
Don't use setcpu, act you shouldn't use any CPU app right now. I have found them to keep the phone awake more often then not.

Yeah, you can always flash back. It's easy. Rename it, put it on root of sd, reboot into bootloader and let it do its thing. Be sure to rename again and put it somewhere else or delete it once you are done. Otherwise anytime you boot into bootloader it will try to flash again, which some say is bad. If you don't know how to do it, check the stickies.

I'm great at reading stickies. I was just wanting to know what the benefits of flashing a new radio really were. Like I said I'm pulling good service. I was just trying to figure out the benefit vs. potential risks of flashing a radio. It does seem like the risk is relatively low, but I really haven't seen the benefit side of it.

The reason we say try and see is because benefit varies. Some don't notice any. I'm not sure I do. Others see better battery, signal, performance, ect. Nothing about this phone is consistent for everyone. One person swears a rom is flawless and another can't get it to boot. If you think your phone performs well enough I would not bother.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
I did end up updating the radio. I haven't seen any noticeable change. So for me it was pointless from a performance stand point, but from the experience stand point it was worth it. The slight moment of panic when the phone doesn't make it past the splash screen before all of the different advice from what I've read on the forums kick in and I go into recovery and wipe the delvak which I had forgotten and the cache and everything booted up great.
