Hello,
I have been trying out some GB roms lately and during the testing i saw that the compass was not showing north anymore.
If i turn the phone a little, the compass is swaying somewhere between NE and NW, but it never points north.
So i went back to FroYo roms, but now i have it there also.
I have been reading several messages fro different GB roms that people are having the same problem.
I also used the recommended radio's for the GB roms.
Since my AuraxTSense (FroYo) rom now also has this problem, it looks like a radio problem.
Can someone confirm this problem and tell me the solution or tell me the radio that is working?
Eric
Edit: See my post on page 2. There is a snq kernel fix for this problem.
Well, i have been testing some further.
Radios (old or new) make no difference.
Froyo rom (Aurax 8.4) and recalibrating the compass the old way, did make it work again.
Installing a new rom (GingerBread that is) and everything was wrong again. The radio version did not make any difference.
So i'm going back to Aurax and hope that i can recalibrate it again to let it work.
For other's with this problem:
Try the old way of calibrating the compass.
Make at least 2 figures 8, but do it slowly. It should take at least 2 seconds for every 8 you make.
Then turn the phone around 360 degrees along the length axe of the phone, also at least 2 times and 2 seconds per turn
Then turn 360 degrees along the sides axe (width), also at least 2 times and 2 seconds per turn.
If this did not work, repeat the last 2 ways of turning (length and width axe) but do it faster and about 6 to 8 times per direction.
This worked for me (and i hope it will work again in a few minutes).

Looks like North is up and South is down. The compass is now a "bubble" app.

I read a few days back that some Chinese Rom's had fixed it (HiAPK or something like that), but i just read that they also still have this problem.
So i will have to wait untill this is really fixed, because i need the compass for finding directions etc.
it seems to be a general gingerbread problem, other devices are affected too:

In the RCmix S thread there was somebody who had tried it.
In GB most of the files are not found.
The fix is for Froyo and not GB.
The guy (i think) reported that it did not work at all.
We will have to wait for some other solution.

Compass fixed with new kernel
Since yesterday there is a fix for the Compass problem in the GB rom's
It is a new kernel from snq and works for (at least) most GB rom's and probably all GB rom's.
I have not had time to try it, but in most rom threads there are people who have tried it and it works!!!!!
The fix can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039004
If you want the flashable version, you can find it on the line with this text (on the previous page link):

Working on Nexus S
Hello,
is this fix working on Nexus S, too?
So, is this fix going to be incorporated into the official Acer releases (prob not)?
I guess we have to root and flash after market roms to fix their fubars...
Same solution as MIUI and a number of other ROMs from the og epic days...
Make a backup of your FB17 rom and flash or restore a gingerbread rom with working gps. Get a gps lock, leave gps on, boot into recovery, DO NOT DO ANY WIPES, and restore your FB17 rom and fire up the gps.
I just tried it and it seemed to work, but I want to rule out simple tower location. Can some of you try this and post your results?
Thanks! Hoping to contribute at least just a little

I remember this dirty little fix from the OG Epic. It actually did work on that phone. I have actually gotten this idea and tired this 2 days ago and it didn't work. This was with the tar stock odex version. even trying different modems.
It wasn't until I flashed Caulks rooted, deodex version that GPS instantly worked. So I know, that works better for me at least.

when picking quick settings, you can't have "WiFi Hotspot" checked or else it will f/c every time u touch the status bar. it will come back, and u touch it and f/c again.
it's a bug I found when 1.3 came out and it should be mentioned in the OP of the thread but is not.
u can however I think pick that as a custom app if you'd really like it.
hope this helps.

Patimus,
I had the same problem. I tried three times to install SRZ 1.3. Each time fresh installs full wipes, Quick Settings FCs when you try to open it. I never found a solution, sorry.
I had to revert to a nandroid I had made of an earlier clean install. The only problem I have is I can't edit my profile for some reason.
I'm running SRZ 1.3 with Andy's super sweet ICS mod.
ok, i started a new thread about a bug i found, and no one replied to it, so i cant play any saved MMS vids i have recieved, any one know how to fix?

Same problem here. I never had this problem until I flashed from the April 9, reupload (that is, this one). I suspect there's something wrong with this new (but not updated) file, but I don't have the old file to test it.
I had the same problem. I could not set anything up in taskbar without forceclosing. Downloaded twice. Same link I used. So I assume this all worked for others. If there is a download somewhere of 1.3 that fully works I would love to try it again.
Same problem here. I have downloaded several times and the md5 for the download is always the same, but does not match the one Ihtfp69 has for his upload file. I posted over there. Waiting for a response.

I did each 3 times. Some say you should, others say it doesn't help. I figured it couldn't hurt. I wipe dalvik and cache anytime I flash anything. Any other suggestions. I want to add display brightness to my quick settings, but it crashes every time.

Here is my saved original (Nov. 2011) of SR's v1.3 ROM for the DI2 - in Dropbox as linked, and all welcomed to d/l and use, matching original MD5 info saved, available as is. With 2 DIC in our household now, been running SR's, Condemned and one of Nitsuj17's ROM for the past few months.
Patiently waiting for SR team's v1.4+ update/newest Rom release, whenever that's going to be. Battery standby time for me lately seemed to be worsening a bit, lots of Apps being updated via Play Store - I dunno, and yes, I too seemed to be running the occassional crashes - minor, annoying but I can live with them. The tweaks done're all based on the original SR ROM, however. It's still one of the best almost stock Sense Rom for the HTC DI2.
* * * * Update #2 * * * * (confirmed as a "good" working ROM as properly installed)
Here's link to Dropbox for d/l - SkyRaider Zeus V1.3 as originally released, 100% unchanged, please refer to detailed instructions posted on SR's website accordingly - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/64025118/SkyRaider_Zeus_1300_Release_VivoW.zip
Enjoy - and, all credits go to SR's Team for their efforts. This is the basis for my tweaks & mods (boot & down animations, KB, lock rings, etc.) since then for 7 months now ... Have a great Memorial Day/weekend & we thank you those who served our country and gave the ultimate !!
BTW & off-topic: had it Sim unlocked by VZW Global Support (8 digits) before going on a Bermuda cruise, ditched the orange-colored "Vodafone" Sim (which was never activated on their system anyway) and used our China Mobile HK Sim for voice & incoming SMS only, worked like a charm - this p/p Sim worked on AT&T and T-Mo's GSM system in the States but roamed on DigiCel on the islands since there's no AT&T or T-Mo (their users also roam on DigiCel.) T-Mo p/p Sim also worked & registered (cool) 700 miles off the eastern seashores and roamed. Cruise Ship Services worked onboard while sailing, so it roamed - disabled roaming & native data completely to avoid billing surprises, WiFi was off - voice line was active the only time for calls & in case of emergency, total unplanned expenses was 55 cents + taxes/charges for 1 Global SMS rec'd at 5 cents & 1 Global SMS send at 50 cents.
So I can confirm that this download will let you configure your quick settings without foreclosing. Thanks again for uploading a working copy!
I also posted a link to my db of the SRZ 1.3 rom that matches the md5 in the OP at TeamBAMF. The link is in the thread over there but I can post it here also just in case something happens with Letitride's link.
Will post upon request.
It has been confirmed that the link in the OP was a beta.
Ihtfp69 is aware of this and working on fixing it.

2 - Tweaks Blackout puts an error: "unable to start activity"

forgive me if anyone has ever mention this before

Haven't tried the radio since I don't use it that much (froze it with titanium) to reduce the amount of start up apps.
Found portable hotspot to be a problem-> start it up and it would be an unprotected connection even though it is set for a password. Shutting it off afterwards will not allow WIFI to start up unless I reboot.
Yes, I had the same problem with Wifi hotspot. Connected only once and afterwards even after reboot it refused to work... I also had problems with some widgets, ie my favorite Folder Organizer which is crucial to me doesn't display 5 icons in a row, only 4 so icons don't fit. Really strange, since FO worked fine with every other ROM I have tried (even ICS one)

I read somewhere that a ROM's RIL interfaces with the phone's radio (Baseband). Our problem might be with that.

Hi,
I am having some GPS issues and I don't quite know how to fix them.
First of all, I have tried different ROMs starting with JellyKing, CM10.1, MarvellousCM10 and they all behave the same way.
The GPS simply does not get a fix, even when I let it sit outdoor for several minutes (I even left it 30 minutes).
There are times, however, where it gets the fix right away, it would work till I close the app that is using it (Endomondo, Runkeeper, for example) then it won't work again. I was not able to find any way to reproduce the "working" GPS.
The fact that it works, albeit rarely, makes me think it's not an HW issue, but I'm not so sure anymore.
What did I try already:
1) I followed this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563226
The fix -supposedly- was tested with the Wildfire S.
Made no difference.
2) I installed FasterFix
The App simply did not work for me. Whichever server I picked, it said that an error had occurred
3) I installed FasterGPS
The app worked, in the sense that I selected a server and it updated the gps.conf file.
It made no effect though.
I have installed "GPS Status" to test it and I was (never) able to get a fix since I installed it.
All of the above was done with the rom from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878031) but I had the same behavior with other roms ...
Any suggestion?
None of those patches will help you.It's just a placebo.
However, GPS is not working on cm ROMs as it works on sense based ROMs.
It does work, but it needs a lot more time to get a fix, especially the first one.It takes around 10-15 min, or even less if you're under the clear sky.

Poh. I left it more than 30 minutes on the balcony. Clear sky, completely open. Nothing.
Are you saying this is an issue with the CM10* based roms?
So if I try one based on CM7* should it work?
I really would like to move to JB and stay away from Sense ...but I need the GPS to work.
Thanks for your help.
Well, as I said, it does work, but it's much faster on sense ROMs.Don't know why you can't get a fix, I'd suggest downloading GPS status from play store, there you can see exactly how much satellites your phone is catching.
I think it's that way on every CM based ROM.However, I've never tried cm7, so, can't really say for it.

Hi FAtfcK,
how did you follow the 1st method, exactly?
I have installed ES File Explorer, then I downloaded the Google Specific, no SSL file and extracter gps.conf on the SD card.
Then with ES File explorer I copied the file in /etc (of the internal memory). It did ask me if I wanted to overwrite the existing gps.conf, so I figure it was the right location.
Rather than overwriting, I renamed the original one, then copied the new one.
I rebooted the phone (just in case) and waited ... and waited ... but no luck.
Did you do the same?
By the way, which Rom are you using?

In my ROM, you can select your region (Europe, Asia, Africa, ...) and aroma will pick a gps. conf for you.
And yes, first GPS fix takes about 15 min, but it should work fine after that.

DJolivier,
I'm sorry but that's not the case.
I flashed Marvellous CM7.2 and the GPS works perfectly. It gets a fix outdoor in 0.1s.
Even indoor it would get 4 or 5 satellites (not enough to get a fix), but it clearly showed that the GPS was working.
WIth any of the CM10* that I used the GPS was practically dead (did not see any satellite when outside): the GPS simply was not working.
I can't quite use CM7.2: I don't need many apps, but the few I do need don't support Gingerbread, apparently, which is a pity, because everything works in Marvellous 7.2 ...
Now that I know that the HW clearly works, I plan to re-flash a CM10 and try again the various options ...
Thoughts?
1) Take gps.conf from CM7 and implent it in any cm10 ROM
2) Try CM9. It's Android 4.0.4 ICS, I know that it works perfectly.
Gesendet von meinem HTC Wildfire™ S mit Tapatalk 4 BETA
You can't say that GPS is not working on cm10 ROMs, when it is.You don't need to touch gps.conf, or to do anything for it to work.It does work.
I got fix from 12 satellites once when I was outdoors.Indoors, I usually get 5-7.

Nightshadow931,
I am sorry but GPS with any CM10 I have tried so far is dead. I had some random luck which I cannot reproduce.
I am not claiming that gps is broken on CM10, but for sure it does not work for me. Infact, I was under the impression that this issue was only mine, however, apparently, it is not and there is a "known" issue with GPS in CM10.
I have installed this morning Thunderbolt 2v0 (based on AOPK 4.1.2) and it works like a charm.
I did not try Djolivier's suggestion of copying the gps.conf from CM7.2 to CM10: I read the suggestion too late.
For now I am going to stick to this rom.
Gps issue isn't in AOKP because it isn't cm based

I have a MarvelC and have been running CM10 alpha since January. I had been having issues with GPS in all the ROMs I tried - and was told that unless I was using a sense based ROM - GPS would not work for long if I ever got it working.
In the Play Store - I found this App - Navfree USA: Free Satnav. It works most of the time. There are times I do have a problem getting a connection, but I don't know if that's because of the ROM I'm using, or because of where I am at the time and there is no satellite to connect to.
For the US version, you do need to down load individual state "maps" to use - but that has not been an issue. They also have other country versions.
It may be a "fix" for someone - give it a try.

Mamadanz,
I think I tried all the CM10-based roms for WFS and I was never able to get the GPS to work consistently. I suppose it may depend on the App that you're using: the one I tried (Endomondo, Runkeeper) don't work.
Using the AOPK-based Thunderbolt 2v0 (which is JB 4.1.2, but not based on CM) I have no problems, whatsoever, with the GPS. It's been a few days so far and I have been using it extensively.
The rom, in general, is good. Some things are in a "different" place than what I'm used to, but you have all you need.

Thank you Scardac - I did download your ROM. Unfortunately, downloaded the wrong GAPPS yesterday and didn't realize until I flashed everything while away from home. DL's the correct GAPPS very late last night so am still playing with everything. But so far - everything looks very good. I'll keep you posted.
Thank you again.
