[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codebot:
GPS doesn't work at all for me in CM7-RC4 (I mean nothing, no signals or indicators or anything). Works fine in CM6.

I believe I'm currently running the "stock" T-mo OTA radio 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M and haven't tried a different one. Think changing that might help? I don't understand why some people have it working with this radio but not others. :confused:

Edit:

OK, I got it working. I had first installed CM7-RC4 using clockwork recovery (in the boot menu) after wiping out the stock ROM. GPS didn't work so I installed CM6 using ROM manager. GPS worked. I then installed CM7-RC4 using ROM manager and voilà, GPS works in CM7-RC4 now. I have no idea what the difference is.

Try .27 worked for me on cm 611 , just flashed the new one, works great, satellites get higher value on GPS test
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codebot:
Sorry, didn't see your post after mine. I edited mine to show that I got it working simply by downgrading to CM6 then upgrading to CM7. Could be a ROM Manager thing or maybe something left over from how CM6 configured the hardware, or who knows.

I do wish CM7 was more stable though, seems kind of wonky.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshreis:
I had the same problem with CM7. Download gps.vision.so from either nightly #4 or nightly #34. Open up adb:

adb remount

adb push gps.vision.so /system/lib/hw

adb reboot

GPS should work after that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convolution:
Radio .26, CM7 RC4, flashed also the "auto-patcher" that patches files to your ROM based on what radio you have.

what does your signal strength say in about me> status

mine says

-54 dBm ecno: -4 rat:3g

sometimes it says as low as -59dbm (as far as ive seen)

edit:now it says -57; -6; 3g... changed again to -56; -7; 3g and is now back at -54; -5; 3g... it keeps changing as i type. the ecno goes from -6 to -10 to -4. idk what this means. i know it means my signal strength is being surpressed and im only getting a 3g rating but beyond that, no clue.

[Fascinate General] Terror_1:
Just went looking through other forums on here and (gasp) just about everyone seems to have jumped ship to the tbolt. With jt1134 using lines like "just like the superclean roms I USED to release for the fascinate" doesn't give me that bright sun shiny feeling. JT isn't the only one either..... sadly, adryn is as well as a couple others.

ALL HOPE IS NOW LOST!!!

Going to take this phone and "forcefully insert it into VZW's rectum"
[Fascinate General] ataranine:
Well I've been assuming for the past week, that everyone was hard at work on new awesome ROMs built from Froyo Source.

Of course, I could have been lying to myself...I know all I see on my Twitter are posts about the Thunderbolt..

Who knows... only time will tell..
[Fascinate General] tbeas:
Well... JT did used to release SuperClean ROMs, then he took over the AOSP ROMs and Adrynalyne took over the SuperClean series for JT.

So there is really nothing wrong with him saying that.

Having said that, yes, development has slowed.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Agreed, JT used to do the Super Clean ROMs, but then moved on to AOSP. Adrynalyne does the Super Clean ROMs now. Are developers not allowed to develop for more than one phone?

Adrynalyne has even said that yes, he did get a Tbolt, and is developing for it, but is still developing for the Fascinate. No need to worry.
[Fascinate General] mknollman:
Not that I am a dev, but I am keeping my fascinate until I can get something dual core with ff camera and a gig of ram. Have heard lots os woes with the TB especially in battery life even with LTE off.

I do hope that the revs stick around long enough ti hook us up with some gingebread goodness, but my phone rocks as is!
[Fascinate General] wil318466:
Slowed a little.
[Fascinate General] DaleV:
Y'all need to actually read some of the devs threads, though most have gone to the Tbolt, most of them are keeping their Fascinates and continuing to work hard for us. Continue to Support your devs, they do this by choice, it's not a job, they do it to help us out of their own kindness. Wirh rhe Support we are getting from the carrier, i have nothing but love for our devs and donate whenever i can. I have nothing but contempt for Verizon ATM, and when my contract is up i may be jumping ship on them, bit never the devs.
[Fascinate General] M00NEY:
^ This.

I could not agree more. They take care of us in their spare time - we gotta take care of them too. And it is simply amazing to me how much they do - and on multiple platforms! I know how it can cost me an evening if my wife complains that something is not working, so I cannot imagine the amount of time they put in (for us).

I too am very pleased with my phone as it sits. I really like the quest for better, but even if it were to stay here, I'd be happy...

AND I agree. The T-Bolt is not enough for me to jump. Something dual-core with lots of memory and a screen as nice (or nicer, but I am a huge fan of the AMOLED) is what I am looking forward to.

No doom and gloom. Just progress.
[Fascinate General] Usapride:
i hope they didn't jump ship 100% on making updates for us because i just got into rooting, and trying all of themes made me not want to throw this phone across the room for being upset at verizon and no official updates to froyo.

but, thank you devs for all of your hard work! u've made me enjoy the phone at least a little bit again :)

[Fascinate General] uslacson1:
It would take more than a thunderbolt for me to change phones.

I've never had a phone as durable as the fascinate, practically un-scratchable screen, great hardware and I can't believe it myself but I accidentally dropped my fascinate in about four inches of water at a parking lot, picked it up took the battery out let it dry for about 4 hrs. still works fine as if nothing happened.

Possibly SGS2 on verizon might change my mind.
[Fascinate General] Kaze105:
By the time I get an upgrade, there will probably be quad-core 4GB memory phones.
[Fascinate General] ace5198:
lmao ya in 2015 if were lucky..

and why switch from the fascinate to thunderbolt.. its really not that impressive.. althought i did read there overclocking them to 2ghz.. seems kinda pointless to me.. but still pretty cool.. i dunno.. not worth jumping ship.. SGS2 all the way
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
Galaxy S 3 (or Galaxy T?) with 4.5" 1280x800 Super Duper AMOLED Plus A Bag Of Chips display, your quad-core 2Ghz proc and 4GB RAM, and 64GB SD card ;-) Oh, right... Froyo! (while everyone else enjoys Android 4.1 Jellybeans)

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate General] exzacklyright:
I don't even know why they release phones that can't get 8+ hours on a charge with at least 4 widgets syncing / email / some youtube / music / live wallpaper. If they did that kind of test battery life would be much better.
[Fascinate General] bobloblaw1:
Guys development is still happening.

Look on the githubs and you'll see commits being made, there's still discussions and stuff going on in IRC, and we are still getting releases.

The problem is that a lot of the stuff going on now is "behind the scenes" work to get the code ready for CM6/7 and whatnot. The problem is compounded by the fact that because of decisions Samsung made the work is very slow and annoying. Stuff is still happening...it's just not highly visible.
[Fascinate General] FDro:
I agree, hardware and software needs refining on android phones to optimize battery life.
[Fascinate General] iTz Nicholas72:
I don't care what happens software wise anymore... As long as I can deal with it then get an iPhone.
[Fascinate General] s44:
My hope is that some move on to the Charge and work on cross-porting the firmware for that back to us.
[Fascinate General] smilepak:
i would be jumping ship too...waiting for something better than tbolt. I heard the battery life sucks and they locked down the root capability of it make it hard to root.

I know my next Phone won't be a Sammy. Unless there is nothing else out there. The only thing I like Sammy is they do have and make their own integrated accessories (i.e.: Car Dock) which I like and use a lot. HTC lacks that nice integrated accessories. Motorola is ok but hit and miss.
[Fascinate General] s44:
Yup, looks like jt has been busy patching up CWM yesterday and today.
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
From what I've heard from my friend with a Thunderbolt, the battery life is at least as good as my Fascinate's, which isn't bad. And I believe you're thinking about changing the ROMs, which was "cracked" in no time at all (it's not encrypted like Motorola's...).
[Fascinate General] onemotodroid:
Samsung verizon need to release 2.2 / 2.3 roms for the fascinate

the source code for one or both would really jump start the dev on the fascinate

the fascinate could also use a leaked 2.3 rom
[Fascinate General] nmyeti:
Battery life is about the same as the fascinate once the battery stats are calibrated.

I won't say it was brainless to root, it's not as easy as the fascinate with odin, but it was still pretty easy if you can follow directions and get the SDK installed on your machine.

To me, i still like the fascinate, but i prefer the Tbolt. The Fascinate sort of just falls into this black hole where it's a great phone if you can accept it "as-is," but Samsung has screwed the pooch so badly with the software side of things that i just kind of stopped caring about it.
[Fascinate General] smilepak:
Thanks...for the info...i still like a car dock accessory. I use my phone as GPS a lot.
[Fascinate General] Terror_1:
Nothing wrong at all with saying it, just confirming... using past tense in this situation that I did find just kind of is unnerving.

Not saying that I don't appreciate what they have and will continue to do in the future, it's more or less like this.... when you use something everyday you know the quirks of it and it reminds you to take a look. When you're daily driver has been replaced you start fixing things for something new. It's just a matter of time before this phone is all but forgotten.

Good to know.

If I could come up with a way to get a partial refund on this I would. Samsung has screwed up so badly that I will not purchase anything more with their branding.

YOU HEAR THAT SAMSUNG? TV's, MONITOR's, HDD's (not that I would have anyway cause they SUCK).
[Fascinate General] Kaze105:
Lol, you do know they make one of the best HDDs and those other electronics you wrote. I dont think any one here can deny that samsung's hardware are one of the best.

only problem is this case is the software, not hardware.
[Fascinate General] Scrappy1:
I have Samsung DLP TV and set top box. Both are glitchy and subpar. I'm not fond of them at all.
[Fascinate General] Kaze105:
Not even sure why you would get a DLP. A couple bad TV doesnt mean every TV is bad. I have 3 HDD from samsung going on 4 years now but they are good. It doesnt mean that all samsung HDD will be running perfectly for 4 years.

Ill stop now since it has nothing to do with the fascinate.
[Fascinate General] Terror_1:
I hate to agree with you.... their warranty is garbage though.
[Fascinate General] Scrappy1:
Are you in kindergarten? I bought DLP TV 5 years ago when they were popular. Also, if individual testimony on products or software wasn't useful, then 50% of the comments in these forums wouldn't be useful. I have to admit Kaze105, your posts in multiple forums are lacking in sophistication and intelligence.
[Fascinate General] CC268:
The Thunderbolt is pretty BA though haha, I would get it if I didn't have to pay full retail for it...the $750 or whatever it is. I wish I didnt have to wait till my contract was up in like 2 fricken years!!
[Fascinate General] Kaze105:
Edited: No point in replying to someone who takes things personally on the internet.
[Fascinate General] xjestersdeadx:
I know what the OP is saying. When you see the TBolt threads and there's all these updates, its disheartening. When a dev (volunteer that is) gets a new phone, even if they are committed to working on the Fascinate, their time is literally now divided.

BUT...I'm not blaming anyone. There's only so much that can be done with the lack of code release, and how long it has taken to get official 2.2.

With it taking SO LONG, new phones were bound to come out, and devs are geeks at heart....what can you do? I don't blame them. We'll be lucky if the Galaxy S II comes out and we've actually got our update!!

All that said, I'm still loving my little Fascinate...with SC on it that is. :D:D
[Fascinate General] tmlhodge:
If by everyone you mean no one, sure everyone has jumped ship
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
After a short hiatus, I return bearing gifts....soon.
[Fascinate General] CDODGE:
I wasnt a DEV so noone probably cares but I switched to atnt and got the Samsung focus. I swore i would never get another samsung phone but atleast with WP7 Samsung cant cripple it and mess it up.

So far this has been the best move I have made.

No more spending my life hacking and loading custom roms and launchers to get my phone to do what i want it to do.

After using WP7 for a week I will never go back to Android. Samsung and VZ left a bad taste in my mouth.

And now that VZ has the iphone it seems that they are getting a little to erragant and they are now slowly starting to be focused more on their pocket book and not what the customer needs and wants.
[Fascinate General] crookshanks:
Nice.... I'd be super excited but I just jumped ship to the thunderbolt myself.
[Fascinate General] crookshanks:
On another note, the thunderbolt is awesome. I'm on the phone with someone and posting on xda and not even in an area with 4G coverage. AT&T can shove it!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shroomun:
Thanks Guys, but still no luck.

I don't understand how it stopped working, because I changed nothing inbetween watching the video. And it's not just this one video, it's all AVI files. (Divx or not)

I did a recovery to my stock (still rooted) and it is still doing the same thing. My problem is slightly different fro Mekee85's, where I can record video and still play it back. It seems to be any of the AVI videos I am trying to play are not working.

I also tried a battery pull and still nothing.

Rockplay says: "This File Cannot be Played with System Player"

VPlayer just tries to load the video and then jumps right back to the file selection.

I am going to try a different SD card to see if it helps too, but any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.
