[Q] GPS stopped working on newer version of Jellytime? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am new here so cant post on the Development forum.
I just wanted to know if anyone has experienced the GPS stop working. It used to work under R23, but then stopped under R26, R28 and R29.
I even went back to 23 and it worked ok again.
I do a full wipe and clear or all the caches as recommended in between each reflash.
Does anyone know if it just needs a tweak.
I have used the AGPS patch as well with no effect.
My problem is the GPS not coming on at all, NOT just taking ages to find satellites.
Ant help appreciated
Thank you

Try going to menu>manage apps and clearing data and cache for it then try to restart it.

Are you still using R23 as your ROM?
If so - Using a file explorer go to /etc and find a file called gps.conf
- Copy this file onto your SD card and then you can upgrade to R29 and then just copy 'gps.conf' back to /etc and hopefully that should fix your gps problems.
If not - open the zip file for R23 and find the gps.conf file in there and copy it to /etc on your phone.
Hope it helps

Cool, that sounds good will try that.
Thanks
Will I need to set any permissions (I havent had to do that before) or just copy it in and thats that?

[Q] Installing Issues

I have CM 6.1 Stable - And it has been working great except for the loss of signal that happens rarely. Now I am having issues with either updating or Installing Apps. They will download but every time the Installation Fails? Any ideas on why or how to fix it other than performing a Nandroid restore?
This is actually a common issue. I'm not sure what causes it exactly. The best advice I can give you is get Root Explorer (file manager), after you download something - got to sdcard, then download (that's the folders' name). The files from Market will be listed as download.apk, download-1.apk and so on. Just click on it and install. To attach it to the market (so you can update) use titanium backup and use it to attack the app to the market.
Sometimes if you delete the .apk in the download folder then re-download it and sometimes it will let it install. Sorry this answer probably isn't what you're looking for but it's the best I have, maybe some one else has a fix for this. Will buy a six pack for a working solution
I just posted something and one of the issues I was having was this. Thanks for the answer! Hopefully a full fix is coming!
Yeah I saw that. Never thought to move it to the phone before updating I'll test it out and see how often it works, you might have found a fix Thanks!
So I have tried doing a factory reset and installing cyanmogen 6.1 but it hasn't fixed it completely. Some aps will install some won't, I'm not sure how it chooses. Can't install Angry Birds do you all think Unrooting and Rerooting? That might fix it probably? Any way you guys could provide me with a link on how to unroot? Thanks

That has nothing to do with it. I tried the method listed but it doesn't always work. The best I can tell you is try again. Go to the 'download' folder on your sdcard and either click on the apk and install it or delete it and try to DL and install it with the market again.
You also might try flashing the new market, see if it's a market issue, I had some serious stability issues with the froyo market before they pushed the huge update.

Keeps downloading image even when already downloaded

My girlfriend has downloaded an image from internet by long pressing the image and then selecting "save image" on her Wildfire S with stock Android 2.3.3.
The problem is that the phone keeps downloading this image over and over again even when it is already downloaded. It tries to download the image about every sync action for over a week already.
Before i just delete the whole history i thought maybe someone here knows the answer to this problem, so she can avoid it in the future.
Many thanks for your help!
Hi, I have similar problem, but with applications. Sometimes phone starts downloading already installed app. Even if I set all apps to manual update only.
This behavior is really killing my data plan limit!
My friend with the same phone has this problem too.
Anyone have similar problem or solution to fix it?
The same with me. Does anybody know how to fix it?
Same here. Must be something specific to the wildfire S
I've got the same issue. I guess it'll go away once I can flash a CyanogenMod or MIUI ROM
Works for me alright

It's worth completely removing the offending application and then reinstalling it. I had the download issue with 'LED Light'. Removed it and reinstalled it and problem resolved.
I now have the same issue with another appl - will try the same solutoin
It seems to happen when you do an update which is interrupted partway
We ported this rom on the Aria and had the same issue. I replaced the DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUI.apk with the ones in CM7 and it now works fine.
Can you offer this for us?

Here are the apps. You need to delete them from your current rom and replace them for these.
How do I delete them without root access? My Wildfire S is not and can not be rooted at the moment

I assumed the Wildfire S was "rootable". That's a very goo question. You can try something but I have absolutely no guaranties it is going to work because I personally never tried it. Either way, it's your call.
**Make sure you back-up your phone to the Google Server because this will wipe all the data in your phone.**
1- Run the RUU for your phone. This will extract the rom to the temp folder of your computer. For me it's under C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\. An easy way to find it is to clear that folder prior to running the RUU. This way, it should be the only thing in there.
2- Enter the folder and look for a zip file called rom.zip
3- Open the zip file using 7-zip or Winzip. DO NO EXTRACT THE FILES ON YOUR COMPUTER TO REPACKAGE AFTER. THIS WILL SCREW UP THE ROM. You really want to make any addition or subtraction from the archiving utility.
4- Extract the system.img file. Now the challenge is to find a way to edit the content of that file. I personally have no idea how to but I'm sure there must be some tools to do that.
5- Once you've managed to open the .img file, under system/app, there should be DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUI.apk. Delete those and replace them with the ones I sent in my previous post.
6- Close the .img file.
7- From 7-zip, delete the system.img file and replace it with the one you edited.
8- Close 7-zip and follow the rest of the instructions from the RUU.
Again, no idea if any of this will work because I've never been in the situation to make changes on an unrooted phone. Your biggest challenge is step 4. If you cannot get in that .img file, then I guess you'll have to wait to get root access to your phone. My guess is that it shouldn't be too long since HTC agreed to unlock the HBoot.
Good Luck!
And is it possible to change this files in a "running" ROM Image (rooted, without flashing)?

I think so. Like I said, I never tried it so it's all speculation here. How about you try to install the apk on top of the ones you currently have, i.e. without deleting them? You do have the ablility to install from Unknown Sources correct?

Yes i have. But I'm new to Android, so I want to be careful.
I replaced both in system\app folder (without installing) and after that my market doesn't work anymore.
So I had to flash my ROM cause the Backup files didn't work too.
Was a lot of work, making all new (but at least Titanium Backup works ).
Maybe somebody other knows more?

I am a bit confused here. What do you mean by you replaced in system/app without installing? Also,you said you used Titanium Backup. I thought this app only worked on rooted phone
Unfortunately, I cannot be of much help because I really have an Aria with a ported rom from Wildfire S. I personally fixed the download issue by deleting and reinstalling these apps, but in reality, I have no idea if that would work on the actual Wildfire S. Sorry that I cannot be of any help.
My phone is rooted.
I mean I changed the apk files in folder system/app with those from you (using Root Explorer). Before I deleted them I made a backup of the original ones.

Ok, so try this then. Delete the apk and don't replace them. Flash the Rom and boot the phone. Then install the apk from ur original Rom, i.e. not the ones I provided, but the ones u originally deleted.

I already flashed my Phone with original ROM and it works again, but the bug is again there.
The point is, I dont want to flash my ROM every week so I hoped there is a solution to change without flashing again.
Otherwise I will wait, my there will be a fix from HTC.
But I wanna say thank you, for your help and your patience with me!

I'm with you on the flashing. I'm not sure HTC will release a fix for this though. However, what u can do is return ur phone and get another one. It seems not everybody has this issue. I'm personally glad I could resolve it on my phone.
Good luck!

[Q] Wifi Calling doesn't work on CM7.1 either

The app keeps force closing after I updated to 7.1. More specifically, Wifi Calling works normally, but if I use LCD Density (220) it force closes. How can I fix this?

The build.prop edit did not work? Or the other suggestion above your last post?
If you want to try to edit the build.prop, open your file manager and navigate to /system folder. Scroll down to build.prop.
Long press > Open As > Text
Change this:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.brand=htc_wwe
To this:
ro.product.model=T-Mobile G2
ro.product.brand=tmobile
If I misunderstood and you've already tried this, then please disregard.
No, you understood me correctly. I checked the other thread and downloaded ES File Explorer and did what I was told. My build.prop files now contains all the changes that you told me to make, yet my WIFI Calling is still force closing. Any ideas from here??

Logcat please! Wifi calling should work perfectly out of the box on CM7.
I will provide you that once I get back home to my system that has ADB and everything else. For the time being, I don't know if you can find out the problem with this error message.
"The application Wi-Fi Calling (process com.android.kineto) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

ctrl+c when you're done capturing data. this will dump the logcat into 'logcat.txt'. paste it into www.pastebin.com and reply back with the link.
just for kicks, i'd recommend redownloading the CM7.1 package and reflashing it. don't wipe anything, just flash it right over top of your current setup. (it's also always advised to check the md5 key to ensure your download isn't corrupt)
Ok, so I reflashed it without wiping anything and that didn't fix my problem. I'm wiping cache, fixing permissions, and reflashing the ROM now just to double check. If that doesn't work, I'll post my logcat.

changing LCD density can cause lot of weird issue for some apps, this only happens when you change the LCD density correct?
Have you tried doing a full Superwipe+ and fresh install of CM7.1? Wifi calling has worked flawlessly for me since CM7 (with 200 density, if the changing the density seems to break stuff).
You can always do a full backup with CWM and revert to your current state if it doesn't fix it.

This isn't a bad idea. Just make sure you use the SuperwipeG2+ext4 located here so that you don't lose your 4 ext partitions. This assumes you're already converted to ext 4. If not, I recommend it. It consolidates internal memory space and has been said to improve speed (slightly).
By wiping, I will lose my data on my phone, right? I don't wish to do that, because I don't like putting things back into place (icons on homescreen, widgets, etc.). Anyway I can remove the WIFI calling app and have someone upload the app for me to reinstall?
Yes, this only happens when I change LCD Density. By messing around with the build.prop file, I can now change my LCD Density WITHOUT using the LCD Density app, but still doesn't fix the problem. Wifi Calling works when I'm at the default 240 but I'm too accustomed to 220 nowadays. It worked just fine in previous CM.
And I have no clue in regards to that whole 4 ext things?

Cyanogenmod help

I've looked through the forums for hours now and according to the noob video made by xda. I'm asking for help. I have an at&t Samsung galaxy s3 with the CyanogenMod installed (as the title implies) and to be honest its not worth the hastle. I'm having problems left and right. First off, the camera app that comes with the phone is missing. Or if theres a custom one. Its not included. I'm aware that I can find and install an external apk but I'll get to the problem with that in a bit. I followed very detailed instructions on installing the cyanogenmod and gapps and everything was fine (stable version) but the notifications suggested I update the mod so I did. Now I have the camera but my play store will not work. It opens for a split second then closes. Also, the file manager is gone. So I downloaded multiple file managers and it seems after first use that they can no longer open anything. I can't even access the files. I checked the superuser allowed and disallowed apps and everything seems fine. Now with the apk problem. Almost any apk I download will not install on my phone. Sorry for the erratic problems just jumbled everywhere in this post but I'm using my phone to write this so its a bit difficult to organize. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated. A link to a post already like this (which I couldn't find) or a link to a tutorial maybe or troubleshooting these problems. I will delete this post as soon as I find a solution so I don't use up space on the forums with a somewhat personal problem. Thanks in advance!

Go in application settings and delete your play store's data/cache. That should fix it.
Without it, it's kinda hard to install apps unless you sideload. If you do sideload, you need to allow it in your settings (security I believe).
if you're using the stable version of CM
you might have to go to Date & Time setting
and fix the date on there in order to make play store works
and everything you say about camera, it is weird indeed because not only CM, every rom out there should include a camera app
if that problem still exists for you, you might want to clean/wipe everything, from cache to system and then flash the rom again
Thank you guys. I tried wiping the cache and it still didn't work. I don't mind side loading which is what I've been doing but its not ideal. I can only search for the exact app(s) I want rather than exploring via play store. Also, you guys didn't mention the problem with the file managers not working after first try. If you have any feedback it'd be great. I would like to keep the cyanogenmod but its just not worth the time and effort (opinion). If I can't fix the problem or find a solution I'll just go back to my phones stock UI because even though I think flashing ROMs is awesome. It really isn't worth frustrating myself with something that's an option and not a necessity. Thanks in advance for feedback.

the file manager part is really weird.
if you clean install, especially the stable version, everything should works just fine
however, it sounds like bad install though
how about this this
Download Titanium Backup and wipe data + cache for file manager only and see if it works
if not, try the longer way
download stock att rom(4.1.1)
go to recovery, wipe everything
go to download mode
flash stock rom with odin
restart to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache
root the phone
Re-Download CM10 stable
go to recovery, wipe everything, including System
flash cm10
reboot and see if everything works
Yeah I've tried a factory reset. It only deleted my user data not really resetting the phone. Thank you pcchano (sorry if I got name wrong) I'll try and erase everything and reinstall from scratch but its not my first time using custom ROMs so I'm sure I did it right but I'll give it a go. Also, someone told me that I need to completely wipe any data associated with Google wallet before I root or else play store will not work. Has anyone tried out this theory or know anything about it? It doesn't make sense to me seeing as wallet is saved server side beside the basic user data stored on the phone. But please let me know. You guys are all very helpful thanks for the feedback.

Also, I've never had to wipe dalvik before? Could that be my problem? I also noticed that when I updated cm the info panel said 'experimental' even though I chose the stable version to start with?

i have like 2 s3 using CM10 stable version and no problem with it (other than the play store wouldn't connect due to the date in setting wasn't correct) while I myself am using CM10.1 and other than the bugs that come with CM10.1 or google source code, it is a functional rom
so i would rather say, it is your phone
and you should always wipe dalvik cache along with cache partition before flashing new rom.
OK pcshano thanks very much. I'll just erase everything and start from scratch. Thanks everyone who helped me. This forum and you people are awesome. I'll delete this post as soon as I reinstall the ROM to make sure it worked. Thanks again!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
The stable cm is of the 10 variety. The experimental builds are 10.1 if I'm not mistaken. In which case you should only need to flash the appropriate gapps package to get the play store functioning and camera as well. The file manager issue I don't know beyond the external sd card being a bit sketchy on 4.2 builds. Are you using an external sd card? Start with a fresh flash of 10.1 if you want to go with that, flash a 4.2 gapps zip and see what happens from there.

WhatsApp not working!

Well, I do not know when or how but Whatsapp app is broken on my device! Just not starting anymore, I only get some force crash screen of about 1 second and that's it...
I have a Note 8T with latest EEA software 12.5.4.0 MIUI 12.5, rooted with Magisk, custom recovery (OrangeFox)
Funny story but enabling dual apps for Whatsapp, basically another user, I managed to start and use the app, as a secondary app because the base app is still dead!
Now, my question is:
How do I get Whatsapp to function normally again???
Things I tried:
1. clean cache and data - no fix
2. uninstall/ install app - no fix
3. enable miui optimizations - no fix
4. fix/ repair data partition in OrangeFox recovery - no fix
Is there anything else I could try in order to fix this issue? It might be somehow related with the user part of the data partition? But why only this app is affected then?
I'm just baffled by this turn... don't know what to do anymore...

You know how many times I rebooted this device???
But, now, it worked without deleting anything except the dropbox content you mentioned earlier!
It just went smooth, install, setup, restore backup and all without a glitch!
THX A BUNCH!!!
Anyway, I would really love to know how was this possible in the first place as I did nothing specially regarding this app... and found myself in this situation of not being able to use it anymore... why only this app? Was something some update maybe that broke something?
