Hi guiz!
I installed CM9 on my HOX. But besides the known bugs with that, i also have issues with the bluetooth and GPS software.
Bluetooth simply wont turn on; when i pull/push the slider it keeps going back to 'off'...
GPS wont turn on either; when i open any form of navigation it keeps saying 'searching for gps signals', and the little icon in the top bar doesn't show up. and yes, i have turned on the internal GPS in the options
although its not like i can test with a bluetooth gps now can i ^^
A lot of apps crash, too. Could be instantly, could be after 20 seconds, but they all crash with the 'has stopped working' or something alike. Kindof hard to use the phon this way. Stock rom didn't have those issues in the brief time i used that.
I can't ask this in the CM9 [WIP] forum, being a newbie and all. So I hope someone here can help me? Is my HOX different? Why it no work!?
Oh yeah, i have the international HOX, so the Tegra 3 one.
Nobody has any idea's on this? Flashed the kernel again, uploaded the new CM9 alpha 7. Still the same errors. Crashing seems less often; but still not bluetooth nor GPS :/

like i said, gps works fine with the internal one, when i am using google maps, but when i try use the tomtom app with the internal gps its got grey bars and then i wait ages.....
they will then flick blue, but then drop off again... then about 5 mins later a quick flash of blue then back to grey, just wont hold out on tomtom, anyone else found a problem like this?
the only solution i found was the stick on my bluetooth gps reciever, but i got this phone with the internal gps as i manged to get the DIAMOND working fine with internal gps and now i have the blackstone/hd i want it working,
im using version 7.910 tomtom black vga'd with 8.4 maps but i also had the problem when i was using the earlier verison 7.45 with version 7 maps.
???????
Sounds like you have AGPS enabled. Disable AGPS and you should be ok
interesting, i definitely do have it on, so will have to try it without it mate, will report back if it holds a connection.
looks like it is working, as its holding my position now, but i will try it out on the drive to work in the morning.
Thanks for the advice.
Isnt it weird that something designed to improve GPS doent work lol
tried it this morning kept dropping signal every 5secs, so i ran quick gps, as i read Andy reporting similar things, i last updated this last night, but still... ran it, ad it worked all the way to work. when i checked signal, all but last two bars were filled blue, will neednto try again on way home,
is this related to cold/hot start?
didnt update quick gps, and all seems to be working ok still on tomtom, no problems yet, always on full signal!!
thanks guys
Hi there. It's about 3 months that my TP2 gps is not working
there is not any error or something. it only starts to search for satellites but not even one little percent is found! all bars remains empty
I wait for long times in very good locations. compared with other phones...
I searched many roms, many radios, many programs, and some tweaks I found on the web
I dont remember the original settings and radio I had anymore! though they dont work either...
any help please? should I give up and believe that its a hardware issue?
I found that mine does the same thing. Oddly enough, when I add the bluetooth GPS receiver it works fine, even AFTER I remove the bluetooth receiver (turned off) and go back to my internal receiver. It seems that the TP2 can't lock onto the satellites but once it has a lock will continue to track...
Major pain in the arse...

Thanks. unfortunately I have no bluetooth gps right now. will test this with my brother's car navigator
the annoying thing is that it works very nice in first months! but as soon as I started flashing cooked roms and new radios it never works again
rolling back to my default rom and radio, doesn't help...
Hi all,
I have a problem with my GPS signal.
Normally (pre rooted era) I could switch on the GPS and get a fix. No freeze whatsoever.
With Gingervillain 2.1 I switch on the GPS and check the signal. I see several bars before the signal freezes. Tried flashing different radios but this made no difference. Also tried several radio / ril combinations same result.
At this moment I found a sort of workaround by switching on Google navigation and then switch on GPS. Check the signal with GPS Status and u usually get a fix within a minute (even indoor). After that I switch on Navigon to start driving.
It is not really a problem this way but what can I do to solve this problem. When I look in the threads (CM7 / Gingervillain) the GPS problem should be solved. Are there more people with this problem? What could be the best solution.
I have CM7 and no issues. I don't know what the problem is. Could be the rom, could the radio, could be other problems. It is too vast really. The only way you could fix it is to try different roms and see which one works. But like you said its not much of a problem.

Thanks for the reply,
Yesterday I switched to the latest radio (32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08) and RIL (2.2.1003G).
As long as I start Google Navigation first and then switch on GPS no problem. This morning I drove to work with Google and Navigon switched on, no problem (30 min drive). Even switched off Google and Navigon kept the signal, no problem.
Whenever I switch on GPS first it looses track somehow. Can't figure it out..
Is there some keep alive GPS flow in Google Navigation?
No. When you turn GPS on its just on and idles. It needs to be used but I don't get how it doesn't work right. Grab an app from the market, GPS essentials I think and see what you can do with that.

With GPS essentials it works, better than GPS Status (think it has monitor function only). Think it has something to do with keeping GPS alive
Tried it from work - home, worked fine. Went shopping same procedure...
Might also be engergy savings mode in Ginger Villain. Batterydrain is less with it I noticed.....
With this working... perfect ROM!!!
guys,
I've issued this before in the rom specific thread, and searched for it, but no answer... (well, partially, but sure don't hope this is the answer; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835547)
When connected to bluetooth (streaming to my audio installation) and wifi on, when the signal drops, rosie freezes... only given time it unfreezes (after pressing the trackpad to wake and unlock and a loooot of time)...
It's quite an annoying error, and I seem to experience it with all gb roms...
It becomes more strange... when wifi on, and checking bluetooth on in wireless settings, wifi drops out... and gets on again...
Anyone any idea? It's kinda driving me nuts... now running the 3d version of acesmod007, but also experienced it on other roms...
- could it be gb related?
- could it be rosie related (somehow?)?
- could it be the radio (see signature)
- could it be kernel related?
- could it have anything to do with the build of the rom?
- could it have something to do....?
many thanks in advance...
Dears,
anytime I want to use GPS I need to switch it OFF and ON from notification bar, otherwise it doesn't work.
It's enough to open Maps to experience the issue: no GPS notification is shown on the bar, but after switching OFF and ON it loads position within a few seconds.
I usually see GPS notification blinking when there's no GPS app running, so I suspect an application is continuously using GPS, maybe stucking it after some time.
To troubleeshoot I've been doing a full wipe and I've been reflashing ROM; I started with a blank device (only SDcard has not been formatted) and I installed all apps one by one checking anytime the problem.
Well, I installed all apps without the problem to occour, but it started to accour again in some hours.
I don't know what to do anymore, because I'n not able to check which application is using GPS or any GPS related log information.
Can anybody help me?
Phone specs are in my signature.
Thanks and best regards

I used to have that issue ..the best thing is just shut down GPS after usage and switch it on when you want
also maybe try TopNTP it's a GPS fix which allows you to lock to GPS quickly it works by patching the GPS files on your system maybe it may help...just a suggestion
