[Q] Please help with my Tmobile DEFY to get CM7

I have this version which I can't seem to find as a SBF anywhere on the internet
Version.34.0.179.MB525.T-mobile.en.US
android 2.2.2
baseband EPU93_U_00.58.00
So how will I back up this ROM as a SBF before going to CyanogenMod?
Can I install nordic on top of this?

You don't have to worry about using the american sbf... The nordic will work fine... Just make sure you use the base band switcher to apply an american base band when you are finally in cm7.
I wouldn't bother making a recovery of your system now...
When you get into
Cm7rc1v2, you will love it..
Go ahead and flash the nordic, root with soc, and use second init to boot into recovery, so you can install cm7rc1v2.
It's all up on that first post.. Good luck

Feel free to lmk if you have any questions along the way... And, if you really want that american sbf... I can get you a link... Though, it will be wasted effort, as I know you will love gb better.

Thanks. I followed the guide and flashed CM7. But now I have an issue with GPS. I get absolutely no satellites. I have got GPS Status and have reset the state and downloaded AGPS data but not a single satellite is visible :|

Maybe flash back to the nordic, try and user the gps, then go back to cm7...
I heard someone say to do that about the camera, maybe it will work with the gps...
I personally haven't had any issues with either..
Another thing you can try, (which may or may not help, it's to flash the cm7 zip twice in a row... Maybe it will help to write[the data more...
Strange, my gps works fine.. where are you located?QUOTE=syl0n;16763563]Thanks. I followed the guide and flashed CM7. But now I have an issue with GPS. I get absolutely no satellites.

This may be a silky question, but you are outdoors while trying to lock on satellites?
You should shoot for clear sky view, and depending on your location, it may take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes to get locked..

I am now seeing 1 or 2 satellites at most. Could it be that I have faulty hardware?

Possibly...
I suppose it acts flaky in stock 2.2 also?
Btw, what are you using to get how many satellites you are locked on?
Edit:
Nevins.. I got something called gps status and test.. I'll tinker with that and see what I get as normal
Triple edit
Okay, I had about seven satellites after about five minutes of playing around.
You may just have a tough time in your area locking on?.?.

Check this out, found it on the other topic..
"13) How can I make GPS work better (be more fast and precise)?
- Make a backup of your /etc/gps.conf (use a file manager to rename or copy to another place)
- Visit this thread
- Click in the link "XDA Members Click Here" at the final of the post, and search for the correct .zip for your country
- Copy the .zip to your SD Card and reboot in Bootmenu, then flash the zip via Custom Recovery"

[Q] GPS does not find any satellites to lock onto

I am having issues with the GPS on my phone finding any satellites.
I have had my phone running various custom roms for about 9 months and had no problems up until about 2 weeks ago. I noticed the GPS wasn't finding any satellites at all. It may have not been doing this for longer, I am not certain whether a ROM change had this effect, as I don't necessarily check all features work after I change the ROM.
When it attempts to lock, the icon comes up at the top, but it never stops flashing as though it is searching for satellites. This happens on Google Maps, Endomondo etc.
I then did the usual suggestions of using various GPS tools from the Google Store to wipe AGPS data and trying all options in a hope to get it going again. I also ran the script here from recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574504
I tried different kernals and the changed from a Sense ROM to an AOSP or CM one, all with no luck. I have tried 4.2.2 and 4.1 ROMs also.
I am currently running
Sentinel ROM 4.6 with the kernal that comes with it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233734
Recovery: TWRP 2.3.3.0
Bootloader: HBOOT 1.36.00 S-ON Unlocked
Each time I have wiped everything, cahce, dalvik, system and data, and I have done erase cache through fastboot as well just in case. I always do the boot.img through fastboot as well.
Has anyone got any suggestions for next steps please?
Thanks
Jason

Try the GPS Fix app from the Play Store...

Could be the connections issue between the back case and the phone. I was getting poor gps fix's and drop outs while using endomondo etc.
Search for the WiFi and gps fix threads to see if it sounds like your prob.

I had a GPS issue that no software could fix. Best fix is to lift up GPS pins inside your phone. Now I can lock onto 10-11 satellites

Yeah, same here. I've gone a step further and lightly coated the contacts with solder and now its perfect.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried GPS Fix, along with others, and no success.
I have just taken my phone apart and lifted the GPS pins slightly and this has also had no effect either.

[Q] GPS Issues With 5.0 Update

I was never having gps problems before lollipop update today, but now I am. I'm using GPS Status & Toolbox, and I'm showing no locks, but 20 sats. Before the update, I would lock on at least 9 indoors, and about 15 or more outside, at home. Now it's saying no locks. I've tried battery pull, plus clearing the app cache, and force closing, but it's the same. I also looked at the app in the play store, and noticed it hasn't been updated since late last year. Could it be it's not 5.0 compatible? Is there any other way to check, although I'm seeing the gps icon at the top almost always on now, searching.

Yea. Walked around for a few minutes outside. No change.
Man I'm hoping I didn't jump the gun with this update. I never got it to work on my Note 3, and was happy to finally get it back on the 4.

Just updated over top of kk.
I have had a little success though by doing 2 more battery pulls. I can now get sat fix outdoors, but still nothing indoors. Also, the fix fluctuates all over the place whole standing still (it jumps like 3,9,11,19,13,6). Not sure what that means either. Like I said, I never had these issues before the update.

I would factory reset

Since we don't have root yet, and I don't have my Titanium Backup, that means I have to manually reinstall my apps, right?

Well, tried the factory reset, and still no gps indoors. I know that I need it mostly outside, but it just bothers me that I use to get good fixes indoors, but now none at all. At least the locks outside are mostly stable and don't fluctuate like before the reset.

[TIP] Solve SW2's constant conecctions-disconnections [ROOT].

Well guys, I have a short tip to solve that common problem on the SW2 (as far as I read). I have only tried it on my smartphone, but it worked and you could try just in case. You´ll need root for this. Don't worry, if it doesn't work for you, you can go back to normal easily.
In my case, my phone killed the smartwatch service and then it "revived". So I put the Low Memory Killer (LKM) (not sure if is that the English name, in Spanish it's called "Prefijos de Limpieza de Memoria") into a lower value that it had (depends of the phone). After that, my disconnections problems disappeared
To change it, I recommend use Kernel Adiutor, an awesome kernel tweaker.
I hope this works for you. Tell me your results. Peace

I think this do not happen on modern phone with 1 Go or 2 Go memory.

This is interesting and I would like to try it. Which low memory killer value did you change? I assume you changed 'hidden applications' but I thought I would check.
Thanks,

But yeah, the smartwatch service is just that, a hidden app, so if you just want to change hidden applications it should be enough.
I would change empty apps a little too because when the smartwatch isn't doing anything, my phone thought the service was one. (?)

Thanks, I have Kernel Audiutor as part of my ROM anyway so it is easy to do. I was thinking of playing around with the LMK after reading your post, which preset profile did you finally choose? I actually use two Smartwatches:
An SW2 is attached to the handle bars of my motorcycle for a variety of reasons
I sometimes wear a Cogito Classic
I have many more problems with random disconnects with the Cogito than the SW2 but I will play around.
I also have the canonical problem of the phone randomly disconnecting from my car's Bluetooth and this could be the cure for that ill as well. Of course, it is very difficult to prove the absence of a problem like that.
Thanks again,
Fred

GPS test, please?

Hi guys, I'd like to ask somebody who already ordered OP3 and will get it within few days - would you be so kind to make a GPS test, please? With no sim card in, disabled WiFi and mobile networks, location mode set to "Device only". Thanks a lot

I'd like to kindly ask the same, please ^^

Sure, though my delivery estimate is 27-30th of june

No problem at all I'd like to wait for gold edition anyway

im very interested in to know about GPS too. how fast and accurately is the fix indoor near a window ? and is the compass steady or rotating all the time ?

It locked accurately within 5 seconds. Also the pointer direction moves as I move my phone. Perfect I would say.
Obviously WiFi and mobile networks were switched off

the screenshot shows how many satellites the phone "sees" and how many simultaneous connections it does handle. the more the better.
you can also see the signal strength of the satellites, the higher the better for location fix indoor or under bridges ect.
