Yes .. I just don't know if I should return it over this issue or not, and I'm running out of time as today's the last opportunity.

Does anyone know if the GPS, network location and/or compass work flawlessly under CM7? That would at least tell us that a fix is possible.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkusPO:
yep, and i'm guessing as it's on stock it's not a software issue. it's a major issue for me as i want to dev augmented reality stuff and having the visual jump around when you're stood still is not cool.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
Same thing here. Acquiring a lock can sometimes take forever. I think it's Samsung's crappy hardware, so we may all be stuck.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uralpongkhi:
I am also facing the same problem with my SNS here in Bangladesh.

Peculiarly the sets gets location data using Cell tower in some areas while it doesn't in many of the areas. As for example, I dint find any problem in checking in Facebook places ot Google Place in my Work.

But have never been able to do the same same in my Home. :-S !

This flaw is giving some hard time. :(

Is it bcz I've rooted my SNS and using CM7 ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:
That's dire news ... You'd think with all the problems the SGS's GPS had and all the attention the early reviews of the NS gave to the issue someone would have spotted it - yet most were quite positive the GPS was fine.

Unfortunately reports on this and other forums are very mixed on the question if and when the NS GPS started acting up.

I guess I'll just have to send it back for now, after all I can always get another one if there's an update that fixes GPS and the rest of the location providers.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floomat:
like i said in my own thread: exactly the same problems. really sucks. especially GPS and Compass are pissing me off, really doesn't work at all..

bought this new phone and expected a perfect device but got a device full of bugs, i even had a HW problem and had to give it to the support here..i thought i have a completly defective device but since others got this problems i have a little more hope.

and i really hope for a fix soon and really hope this is a SW and no HW bug.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:
Has anyone with a sucky GPS tried this trick (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1043034) or a similar one on the Nexus S?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmatrix13:
I haven't had any issues with my GPS, however sometimes it may take 30sec-1min to find a solid signal. My experiences have been with stock rom and also SupeAosp 6.2 (which I'm currently using).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bbilko:
Greetings,

I have had my Transformer since last night, and and loving the honeycomb experience generally!

Only issue I have found so far is that if you plug the Tablet into an XP computer the MTP prococal drivers will only allow you to transfer recognised media files.

This is irritating because that does not include:

.apk

.epub

you can get into the file system and copy things to the Tablet, as well as delete things.

However you cannot rename, move around on the tablet directly etc.

This is more of an FYI post than a plea for help, I did the transfers I needed using micro SD.

oh, and under Windows 7 64bit you can tell it to skip the unknown file, ot to copy it anyway, which works fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
I thought Transformer works as USB Mass Storage device not MTP like Xoom?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Strange. Works fine in win 7. Another option for smaller files is to use dropbox.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jms_uk:
have got file transfers working via USB(mass storage).. both win 7 and win XP (after installing Asus sync).. also got it working via the networkwith the transformer seeing my windows shares when browsing with Ghost Commander file manager with SMB addon.. hope this helps :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bbilko:
I shall install the Asus software and see what happens.

Why, we have a notification LED. I loved BLN for my Vibrant, but I don't see how it is needed here.
[Thunderbolt General] Adrozz07:
Because the LED sux bawls.

Blundered from my Dunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] billhilt:

Just knew someone would say it for me lol
[Thunderbolt General] jburnette87:
i was wondering the same thing. except i was hoping for the soft keys lighting up when a notif is received?
[Thunderbolt General] cypherx82:
That's what they mean.
[Thunderbolt General] mg00000:
Notification light within the speaker

Is this what you're referring to?

It only shows up if i have the charger plugged in. Orange when charging and green when charge complete.

Shouldn't this be where your alerts are shown too? I have them set up via this menu:Settings > Display < Notification flash , however i never see any light come on when i have new messages.
[Thunderbolt General] elrichmeister:
Won't work, fascinate had an amoled screen which o believe can turn on individual pixels. The tbolt has an lcd screen which uses a backlight which only lights up the whole screen
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
He's referring to the backlighting on the soft keys, not the actual touch screen.

This would be great if it's possible. The notification LED is horrible on the TB.
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
Backlight support, if I remember correctly, has to be built into the kernel... I've only used it with Nero rom on the Samsung Vibrant, never on an HTC device. If you don't like the notification lights on the Thunderbolt, you can download NOLED app from the market... It works well on phones I've tried that have no notification lights like the Nexus S...
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Hmmm... never heard of that app. Will check it out. Thanks man!
[Thunderbolt General] billhilt:
bumping this hoping its possibile now

now that the source is out
[Thunderbolt General] runhopskipjump:
I use an app called "Flashlight Alert" from the market or can be found on the XDA forum.it uses the LED to alert you of email, text, google voice and calls. It's free and doesn't require any additional addons.off that does catch your attention then nothing will. I even used it on my Xoom.
[Thunderbolt General] racinwarrior:
try "missed message flasher" it flashes the backlight whenever you get a new message. it can repeat until you check it or you can set time limits. tons of options and works for all notifications.
[Thunderbolt General] recDNA:
If you're rooted there is an app called light flow that works very well. Makes the led notifiers actually serve a purpose.

[Nook Color General] politiclaw:
I'm having issues with the wifi connection having to be reset every few minutes when used. It seems to outright lose signal and can't even scan for networks until a reset. I'm on CM7 stable, using the latest OC kernel by Dalingrin. Anyone experiencing similar?
[Nook Color General] FixB:
I have a similar issue.

From time to time (something like every 5 min), the connection seems ok (in the wifi pannel, it is stated as connected), but I can't access anything anymore by wifi. I have to disconnect and reconnect to my wifi router in order to make it work.

(I also use the last stable CM7... And apart from that, it's gorgeous :D ! )
[Nook Color General] politiclaw:
So I'm indeed not alone in seeing this... interesting. Thanks for letting me know. As well, I agree, everything aside from the wifi works great and the tablet tweaks incorporated are nothing short of brilliant.
[Nook Color General] Deaks2:
Mine is table with CM7 final and with Philmod 6, both with the 03/31 and 04/04 kernels.
[Nook Color General] animatechnica:
same here - cm7 stable + 4/4 OC

just loaded up nightly 39 + 4/14/11A OC to try that combo
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Is this not the same issue all over about AES? Check your router, if it's WPA2 it's AES, if it's WPA it could be AES.

CM7 and some routers have issues when AES is used, try to disable it.
[Nook Color General] animatechnica:
installed nightly 39 + oc 4/14a no wifi issues so far
[Nook Color General] FixB:
Tanks : that worked for me ! :D
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
You mind Starring this issue on the Cyanogen tracker? Make sure you put all the relevant information as well as your Router HW and FW. Thanks!

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3314
[Nook Color General] FixB:
I posted my remarks in a comment on the tracker.

But I'm afraid I don't know what you meant by "my Router HW and FW" ?
[Nook Color General] photoassign:
hardware and firmware, ie brand name and model number and the version of software it's running.
[Nook Color General] politiclaw:
Can anyone else comment on this? I might just go down this route, but I'm wondering if there a few more who did similar and are seeing no wifi issue as a result.

Also, I'm surprised to see a CM7 final release with a wifi issue such as this. If it indeed is related to encryption (AES vs TKIP), that's further perplexing. While I could go about changing the settings for my router, I can't go about doing so for many others - particularly in public. As well, if I'm to tether from my N1, I'm going to do it with a password, meaning I'm to do it with AES as there isn't much choice built in.

I hate to say this as I'm impressed with the amount of work that went into (and normally always goes into) CM, but I figure it has to be said. To be fair, I'm not sure how widespread this issue may be (does it affect the version of CM7 on tablets, only?) but I'm surprised it can exist in a version of cm7 considered stable.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I'll try 39 etc but I suspect if they made changes in that regard they would have said to retest in that logged bug.

As far as I know, I've heard reports this happens on some phones as well, not just tablets, not just the NC.

And it doesn't affect most people, in fact I'll bet it affects a minority of folks. If it affected everyone I'm sure CM7 wouldn't have released that way of course.

And yeah I'm with you, I _do not_ want to use my N1 tethered with Open encryption, but not much I can do until this is fixed.
[Nook Color General] henel321:
Did you try 39 out? This issue is MIGHTY annoying for me as it is kind of hard getting a company with 39 000 employees to back away from AES on the WLAN.. :rolleyes:

Also going away from AES at home means that I cannot have my access point using 300 Mbit 802.11N which also is a real bummer.

I found this at the CM7 bugtracker, look at the final few posts there is a wifi-driver to try out.

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3314

Also noticed there was a complete guide about pushing the file here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11974146&postcount=22
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
So if CM7 on my phone works fine on wifi, that means a NC should work the same more or less, correct?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I guess you didn't notice who posted in that bug, and posted tiwlan_drv.ko in the bug? :rolleyes:

Anywho, for me it did help my own and work AP's, but it's still broken tethering to my phone. So it seems better but not perfect, give it a try. Just make a copy of the original tiwlan_drv.ko and push the single file from that zip up in its place and reboot.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssuede:
Starting from a new stock Desire HD, I have attempted gaining root access using Visionary (r14). Temproot worked, but permroot apparently failed. My device rebooted, but didn't come back up - I get the phone-with-red-triangle screen.

If I pull the battery and then boot into the bootloader, using the Image CRC menu option I can see that my system partition has been modified (but all other partitions are unchanged):

<redacted>

Do I have any options available to me now, or am I screwed?

My phone is a stock Desire HD A9191 (stock HBOOT S-ON, stock recovery, stock radio S-ON):

Branded (Vodafone Australia)
<redacted>

Is there magic process that can be done to re-flash the faulty system partition?

Any help would be hugely appreciated. Sorry to make this my first post to the forums, but I'm well and truely stuck... hopefully not permanently, but I have that sinking feeling :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
What happens when on the red triangle screen, you HOLD the volume up, and then press power button? I think this will take you to stock recovery. Reboot if you have the option, or Wipe data & factory reset.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssuede:
Thanks UpInTheAir.

At the red-triangle screen I press vol-up and power, and it displays the Android system recovery screen. It shows the options:

1 Reboot system now

2 Apply sdcard:update.zip

3 Wipe data/factory reset

4 Wipe cache partition

I've tried (3) and (4) and then rebooted, but it does not help - the phone continues to boot into the red-triangle screen.

It looks to me like the system partition was incorrectly modified / corrupted by visionary, and somehow flashing it back to a known-good condition seems like the only way forward...

Is it possible to use option (2) to flash a new rom if I package it up and put it on the SD card somehow? My phone is branded vodafone-australia, and they have not published any RUU update files yet. I gather that using a WWE rom update from HTC will not be possible?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Try DL think stock 1.32 RUU

Rename to PD98IMG.zip (not .zip.zip, do not extract)

Put PD98IMG.zip onto sdcard

HOLD volume down, and power on -> this will boot into Bootloader

Start update and follow the prompts

I hope this helps, but as always, please don't hold me responsible if anything goes pear-shaped.

Thanks again. Downloading now, and will update this post when I've tried it out. Cheers.

You'll need to make a Goldcard to flash this ROM (if your phone is branded).

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Won't the Gold Card be useless if the system partition is already corrupted?

This was to be done before using visionary?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssuede:
Thanks a33a.

My phone doesn't boot (I can only get to the bootloader menu, or the red-triangle screen). I tried talking to it with ADB, but it says "device offline".

The instructions for making a gold-card appear to require you using adb to talk to the phone to get it to tell you some long id number... I don't think it's possible for me to do this.

Is there a work around or some other way?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Did the PD98IMG.zip work?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zepp3lin:
Did u update the HTC drivers for the usb before. The adb needs the latest drivers for Windows to communicate.

If u can't create a goldcard than u should try and borrow 1 from a friend that already rooted his dhd. It might work that way. If not than u have to bring it to HTC and have it reflash.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
When you tried ADB;

1. Make sure your phone is in FASTBOOT USB (HOLD volume down + power on -> Bootloader)

2. Connect to PC

3. CMD (Command Prompt) cd\............android\android-sdk-windows\tools\ (or whewrever the adb.exe & fastboot.exe is)

4. Type fastboot devices

5. You should get pyour device serial number HT............

But as I said, if the partition is screwed up, it is pointless with the goldcard?........

Edit: Memory coming back......You only need the Gold Card if you flash a stock ROM and require OTA updates? Without this you can't get the updates. So not having it shouldn't stop the flash?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssuede:
Unfortunately the PD98IMG.zip did not work.

As suspected, the bootloader found it, loaded it, checked it, then displayed:

CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.

I haven't tried creating the gold card yet. I'm not holding out much hope, because with the device not booting into the OS, I don't think you can get adb to connect.

When the phone was working, I was able to use ADB to install apps and run commands from the shell, so I'm pretty sure the USB drivers are OK (I've installed the latest HTC Sync, which included the usb drivers and adb.exe).

I don't know anyone with another Desire HD, let alone anyone who has created a gold card... maybe someone on here with one can zip up the files and send them to me?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Did you try through fastboot? Sorry I don't have one as wasn't carrier branded. I never had intention to keep the stock, so never bothered. I will keep an eye open for ideas though.

I suppose you would get the same if you rename it to update.zip & try flash through the recovery / update. My guess is yes, but doesn't hurt to try?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssuede:
I'm just trying the fastboot method now (downloading and installing the SDK as I type).

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for sticking around to help out.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
If no good, look on the bright side. There will be no evidence on your phone about the attempted root, still s-on etc. With the system partition corrupt, you could send it back and claim ignorance, not sure what happened. I would think you would have a very goof chance of repair (htc flash) or replacement.

Well hope you have some luck first though.

Edit: meant s-on
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssuede:
Yeah, I was considering that -- all partitions except system are unmodified and stock, and both S-flags are S-ON. Using the bootloader to wipe cache and data, should erase any evidence that I was attempting to root the phone.

Fingers crossed they will replace / repair under warranty -- if it comes to that!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssuede:
Okay, as per the earlier post, I've put the phone into FASTBOOT USB mode, and used the Android SDK fastboot.exe program, which gave me back a 12 digit number beginning with "HTxxxxxxxxxx".

However, the linked gold-card creation guide says to run "adb shell cat /sys/... " which does not work -- adb returns "error: device not found". Presumably this is because you can't talk to the phone when it's in the bootloader.

What should I do with the "HTxxxxxxxxxx" value? The goldcard guide doesn't mention it as far as I can tell...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
That's your device serial number, meaning you can ay least talk with it via fastboot. Try substituting 'fastboot' instead of 'adb'. Your connected in Fastboot, ADB command is when your phone is powered up and connected in charge only, usb debugging enabled.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssuede:
Okay, I've tried a couple more things:

Renaming PD98IMG.zip to update.zip and selecting "Apply sdcard:update.zip" from the recovery menu. This failed, displaying "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command ---- invalid operation ----"

Then I tried issuing ADB commands using fastboot.exe, but fastboot doesn't support the shell parameter, so "fastboot shell cat /sys/...." doesn't work.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssuede:
It does look like fastboot can be used to flash various parts of the device though... I wonder if this is worth looking into a bit more?

ie: fastboot's usage output says:

commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall flash boot + recovery + system
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it
devices list all connected devices
continue continue with autoboot
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader

I tried "fastboot update update.zip" giving it the renamed PD98IMG.zip file, but it complained of:

Whoops: didn't find expected signature
read_central_directory_entry failed
error: failed to access zipdata in '....garbage characters...'

Does anyone know how and what to feed to fastboot to get to force-flash the system partition?

UPDATE: yeah I thought this might have been too easy... This link suggests that you can't flash a production device with fastboot unless you already have ENG S-OFF (which I don't). :(

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
If nobody has found a solution ill take another look on the morning.

I'm sure there is something on my pc about the fastboot flash commands etc.

I don't think your totally screwed, but may need that goldcard, I think it must be carrier specific for the cid to match.
