My GPS issues appear to have been weather related. Worked fine today.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] houseboatwayne:
Wow fast lock!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jlevy73:
No difference for me. Mine locks instantly with or without the mod.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KidJoe:
I have a problem where if I haven't rebooted the phone for a couple days, the GPS doesn't locate me in Maps, Zillow, etc. Launch Maps or Zillow, it will just sit there with the big blue shaded circle with the center no where near me, and the GPS icon flashing... or Navigation saying "searching for GPS" when trying to get directions..

Power off/on... GPS finds me quick.

Will this mod fix that?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ziggy471:
Another quick fix for GPS that I've found is GPS Status. Download GPS Status from the Market, click menu->Tools=>Manage A-GPS state->Download. It just makes sure you have the latest Assisted GPS data from the web.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Stevez48:
This helped me too last night when Ziggy posted it. Yay!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] funkybside:
I think that is gmaps using the cell tower's location to make a guesstimate.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] engagedtosmile:
Does this work on other kernels or just Ziggys?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ziggy471:
It has nothing to do with the kernel.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] billygoat32:
For some reason after applying this, I've been getting awesome battery life.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] XfrostX:
Yeah my Gps location locks fine but its kinda far from my actual location.. any idea why
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tu3218:
I went into gps.conf and mine already said us.pool. Well this stinks, I'm still having gps problems.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LSUstang05:
I actually changed mine back to north-america.us.pool and it's working better. I also downloaded GPS Status (suggested by a member here) and tapped menu->tools->Manage A-GPS State->Reset then menu->tools->Manage A-GPS State->Download

Then I rebooted. Getting a lock within 20 seconds or less now. Also still using Google Location Services.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Yeah, GPS Status works great.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Screwbal:
So is that a one time run or u need to do it every time u use the gps?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PerCompLLC:
One time. It's persistent.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LSUstang05:
I've kept it downloaded and installed on my phone, but I've only run the GPS Status app once. I guess if it starts having slow GPS locks I'll repeat the process, but as of now I've only run it once.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] zer071:
Mine takes about 4 mins to connect my OG Droid was like 30 seconds i hope this fixes mine too.

i had the same problem in another forums it said download gps status from market place and then hit menu/tools/manage a-gps state/reset/menue/tools/manage a gps/download

back out and your done

fixed my problem locks in 5 to10 seconds each time

hit the thanks if that helped out
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thewayne01:
None of these things have fixed my GPS. I have been able to get a lock yet and this is the third day I have had this phone.

Anyone else having it as bad as me?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] thewayne01:
Did they issue a press release on this? I have been searching but haven't found any info.

Already changed in the BAMF Remix 1.4 ROM :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BobVS:
Ran the Mod and works great. I couldn't get a lock for 20 minutes, ran the Mod and BAM! Less than a minute for a lock!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thewayne01:
I'm running BAMF Remix 1.4, but GPS still doesn't work.

I still don't understand how changing the Time Server setting affects the GPS' ability to get a lock on location.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rulevoid:
I have tried everything including switching roms, kernels, making ziggys mod, removing ziggys mod, and using GPS Status app to clear GPS cache and download AGPS data. All to no avail. GPS lock still takes a couple minutes. My incredible used to lock literally within a second or two.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thewayne01:
I would love it if mine took a couple of minutes to lock. It hasn't locked in the three days that I have had the phone.

This is killing me. I use GPS more than any other feature. I have to keep my Nexus One with me for GPS for now. I am considering sending the TB back because of this.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] onsht1kll:
Thanks for this! Works great!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rulevoid:
That didn't work for me. Glad to hear it helped you out.

You are not alone. I've tried many fixes too but nothing helps. I use sharegps on my phone for my gtablet so really SOL right now. :) Looking forward to the HTC fix.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Kid_Cudi:
Using GPS status I get a lock in mere seconds. Maps lags. Wonder if it's a maps issue and not actually the gps.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] HashTagHell:
Good news.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] destroyerbmx:
I am not affected by this, it takes about 20 sec for a lock and I can get a 1m accuracy
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LSUstang05:
Try doing it a few times. Mine didn't work immediately but after a few tries of resetting and redownloading/rebooting it worked. Don't know if it was placebo or not, but it definitely locks a LOT faster.

Searching for GPS fixed on Android

THANK YOU! I tried everything on every forum to fix "Searching for GPS" but this one fixed it instantly. I've passed this page to everyone having this issue. Thanks a million. I almost thought my gps was toast.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] massivebasset:
Any suggestions on how to go about fixing/repairing it?

Screen and buttons seem top be fine, just the glass that needs fixing.

Would live to great some success stories on the same. I need my evo healthy!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy49510:
Just replace it yourself.

I replaced the glass and digitizer on an iPhone 3g once and it was pretty easy. I just had to pull off the glass with a suction cup and the pull out any pieces of the cracked glass (heat gun or hair dryer helps alot) then connect the ribbon and place the new glass on by peeling off the paper backing and placing it on the frame. They have adhesive on the back so no gluing or anything like that. The Evo's look like they work the exact same way and the replacements can be found on ebay for $26

I tried to post the link for ebay but it would let me. Just search it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
the evo has the screen, bezel, lcd, and digitizer all in one component, so it should be a little harder. i've never done it, but i think you unscrew the torex screws under the battery cover, then just pull off the screen/bezel/lcd/digitizer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB112:
Why not see if the store will still repair it for $35 like they were doing not too long ago?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] massivebasset:
Checked with Sprint Store, they said they no longer do screen repairs. My only recourse with them would be to buy a new EVO at retail, since I dont have a protection plan.

I found a cell repair store at the mall that will do it for $100, and guarantee their work.

I also found replacement parts for as cheap as $45, there are also youtube videos showing how to disassemble the beast. And I do mean disassemble, you have to take it basically completely apart to get at the screen, thanks to how the bezel works. Would also need to purchase a T5 torx head screw driver. It doesn't look to be too hard, but its definitely not something I would ever want to screw up.

All things considered, I'll go for warrantied work at the mall shop. But just wanted to post my findings for anyone else searching for this in the future.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB112:
They no longer do screen repairs period? So if u have TEP and come in with a broken screen, do they order you a free refurb, or make you go through Assurion for $100?

If they replace it free under warranty and your cool with a refurb, just add TEP on your line. All you need to do is activate any Sprint phone on your line. Call in and add TEP to your line. Then swap bacj to the EVO use it for 2 days and take it in for repair.

That's all I did, when I wanted the screen repaired on my old TP2 before I sold it. Activated, added TEP, took it in and got a refurb 2 days later. Of course, this is if you want a refurb and if they will replace it free.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
Sprint will tell you to go through Asurion. I just had to do this recently, but I was fortunate enough to get a brand new phone from them instead of a refurb.

OP = Replacing parts is not as easy as you see in the Youtube videos. You can't tell if the LCD is cracked along with the digitizer until you take it apart, so you may need the LCD and not know it. The LCD/digitizer combo will run you $60-$70, so if the mall will fix it for $100 with parts, labor and warranty, I would go that route, too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iitreatedii:
I know I seem to be advertising a lot lol but for cheaper than that I can sell you the LCD and digitizer all together already pre put together with the plastic direct form htc manufacturing...like I told ruge as he probably remembers things may not be so easy as thought out before you attempt it, stupid things can go wrong and you can end up wasting your money

I have installed the TMOUS rom on my HD7 but I am unhappy with it. Is there anyone who can direct me to a stock rom. It would be greatly appreciated!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
Ive been having issues installing apps and updates from both the android market and recently amazon market. I factory reset my phone and formatted the SD card and reinstalled all my apps and the SPRINT LOVERS ROM. its been working fine. TODAY it started again.. some apps I can not update and new apps I can not install. I either get a DOWNLOAD FAILED right away OR it downloads and looks like it is installing but I get PACKAGE FILE IS INVALID. I have googled for a solution and came up with http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=910956 BUT that didnt solve my issue.

What is causing this and how can I resolve? some apps DO update but tonight NEW apps dont install AND apps wont update ... please help...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
Update: I think I figured the problem.. According to that OTHER thread I posted, it has to do with TOO MANY APPS on the phone and you run out of space in the CACHE FOLDER.. anyway, I UNINSTALLED 4 apps I really dont use and WALLA!!! the apps that would not update now update fine!!

why does this happen and how does one resolve? is there a limit to how many apps you can have? Im on sprint lovers ROM and with the apps it comes with and the apps I installed, it says 315 using SYSTEM APP REMOVER
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just_s:
If you have that many apps and want to keep all of them you need to consider Dark Tremor's a2sd. Also, you should clear your cache. I'm on the mobile app so if you want links or instruction, pm me our I'll try and get back to this post later.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahauss:
I think that is how many system/stock and regular apps are on my phone.. SPRINT LOVERS ROM doesnt support A2SD ...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just_s:
If you want to use DTa2sd it is a relatively simple process to modify the boot image for Sprint Lover's and start using DTa2sd. The howto is here, post #4.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sw99:
The reason this happens is that custom roms and kernels move your dalvik-cahce to the /cache mount. Android assumes that it is in the /data mount which is the same place your apps get installed and which is monitored by the system for low space. Basically the download had no place to go, giving you a download error (since the market uses /cache to store downloaded apps). Or if there was room for the downloaded file you get package error because the .dex file can't get created in your dalvik-cache.

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Found this in the instructions for Unleased r3

What does this actually format? Does it mess with the SD card?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfusejc:
As far as I'm aware, it does all the Data/Cache/Dalvik wiping necessary to start off brand new. SD Card isn't touched.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayharper08:
Correct. It just clears all the data/dalvik/cache. Just like if you were to do a factory reset. Instead of choosing each one separately, (date full factory reset, cache, data, dalvik/cache it will do it all for you. Won't hurt to run that and still do wipe everything separately still just to be double sure :) Will not touch the SD card at all.

I don't use the new recovery and still use amonra, but you can send a pm to EvolvedAndroid. He unrooted his phone in hopes of getting a 3d and couldn't. So he wasn't working on roms until the Revolutionary root. He may be able to help you.

Title pretty much says it all. I've been hopping from mod to mod, theme to theme, framework to framework to get exactly what I want in my phone aesthetically. I'm using this frame right now: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12131447&postcount=37210

The guy who ported was kind enough to point me to this AOSP lock that worked, but didn't quite match what I wanted to accomplish. I'm really looking for this lock, and if not then just a straight up AOSP lock.

As I said, I've tried just about every combo possible but everything takes something away that I want to keep. I tried the how to theme thread, and it was a great resource but only offered advice on how to change the png on HTC's lock; something I'm not particularly interested in.

Is there a howto on how to get this accomplished myself? I've looked everywhere, but I can't find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] skndeep102:
You can just use root explorer to rename your HTC lockscreen to something else to get the vanilla lock
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sobis1dm:
Do you know which files get accessed when it reverts back to the lockscreen then? I did what you said, and it basically gave me the same version that I linked to before. Even if I can extract the files and alter them myself, I feel like I'll be accomplishing something. I just don't know where it draws from.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neodorian:
He wasn't trying to be a ****. It's a very flexible and effective way to change your lock to just about anything including a ton of custom locks. Well worth $1.99 to people who want a high degree of customization and control over their lockscreen.

Why not purchase widgetlock? You can switch between aosp lc and lense lc. Just my opinion
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sobis1dm:
First off, I love your work on this. The whole theme is great, and the only reason I keep trying to Frankenstein this one in particular is because I love the black on-screen notifications over that HTC grey. Unfortunately when I replaced frameworks I bootlooped :-/

@the other two previous to this post: I don't want to do that because its unnecessary. I don't need to spend money on a bandaid when I (with the help of others here) can go into the filesystem and do it myself.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
Are you using Myn's RLS5?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sobis1dm:
Ya. Like i said, I would typically just rename the HTC lock but i was looking for a more stock screen as opposed to the theme one.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
Try flashing thishttp://db.tt/IB2h14Z:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sobis1dm:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
Then you must have flashed/added something else to your phone cause that flashes fine for other people using RLS5.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sobis1dm:
Real odd. I'll try from stock and see what happens, but the only things I've altered are keyboards and such.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sobis1dm:
Wipe + fresh myn install + flash of your zip = bootloop. its just not meant to he :(
[EVO 4G General] DevilInPgh:
OK, so I was wisely trying to follow the commands for fixing USB mounting to a computer, and what I got out of it was a brick that shuts off randomly after I turn it on, doesn't recognize the SD card, and shuts off after I try to flash Amon-RA recovery. Which means, I couldn't flash the RUU even if I wanted to. I took it into the Sprint Store, where they very easily saw the root (even though the phone said S-ON), so now I'm stuck paying the $100 to Asurion. My concern is Asurion is going to see the root after I send it in for the exchange. First, are they going to care? Second, just in case, is there a way to get this phone unrooted before I send it in?
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
All if you are alreay S on, that's the main part of unrooting. What did the tech at the Sprint store complain about if you were S on? Anyways, have you tried flashing a PC36IMG of an RUu yet? Does the bootloader recognize files on your sd card? You could try. Download the most recent PC36IMG from this thread here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu. Make sure the file is named exactly PC36IMG, and make sure to put it on the main directory of your sd card (not in any folders.) Shut the phone the phone off completely. Boot into the bootloader, by holding the power button and volume down together, until the bootloader shows up, then let go. Wait a bit, and the bootloader should scan the sd card (hopefully) and detect hte PC36IMG, and ask you to update. press volume up to select yes. If that works, that's all you'll need to do.

And as far as I know, Asurion doesn't care if the phone is rooted or not. Besides, yours is already S on right now.
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
