Do you ever disable/enable your GPS while your phone is running?

I found that on my fascinate in particular, if I EVER disable the GPS, I cannot just re-enable it while it is running. I have to enable the GPS, then reboot the phone immediately. As soon as the phone reboots, I can get a lock. Usually within a few seconds, a minute at the most.

This was the "fix" I discovered a few months ago, and I haven't had any troubles since then.
[Fascinate Android Development] ckevinwelch:
That's part of the Touch Wiz calendar, which will not work on this ROM.
[Fascinate Android Development] adude247:
just to put it out there, I don't have any problems with the in call volume or ring volume, I can here everyone fine and they can here me just as well.

On another note what is everyone's settings on glitch high leak, I'm currently using ondemand gov, with 1440 and 800, my phone runs fine and benchmark score is on avg 2450, but any improvement settings are welcomed.
[Fascinate Android Development] drnihili:
My battery life is fine. It's not amazing, but it's not worse than TW. Some people have reported extremely good battery life with this ROM.

I've noticed that every time a new ROM comes out, some people report that they get amazing battery life and others get crappy battery life. I have no idea why. But I haven't noticed anything in the thread that would lead me to believe that battery life is, on average, any different for this ROM than for most others.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
I get on average with pretty moderate use(no more than 2 hours on standby) about 8-10 hours. I am perfectly fine with this I was getting about 6-8 hours on TW Froyo. Now if I'm not on my phone alot I get more but I'm kinda addicted to this device so yeah 8-10 is the norm. :)

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
Battery life the other day, I was using it like normal with the exception of using the Google Music Beta app to stream my music some instead of playing local files.
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
Any ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] cesium:
Does anyone have problems with the tilt sensor? It won't work at all for me in Homerun Battle 3D
[Fascinate Android Development] vlucchetti:
Have to say I have no problems either,and I'm using the phone a good bit. Battery life better than ukb when I was on it. EC09 Radio, Glitch HL with all settings uv by -50, max 1200 cfq, ondemand
[Fascinate Android Development] adude247:
with the battery drain I'm thinking it's about the same with every one's old ROM, and with this one, they've just noticed it, but the difference really isn't much, but that's my 2 cents, probably wrong, but whatever....

GPS Fix

I accidentally stumbled on a fix for our GPS.

I was scanning the logcats to try and see what might be giving us battery issues and noticed

ThrottleService( 200): Could not open GPS configuration file /etc/gps.conf

I know there was talk about people not being able to get a gps satellite lock as well. Well, this makes sense since the NTP servers are specified in this file.

Anyway, as a quick workaround push this file to /etc or /system/etc . Then change its permissions so that it has read permissions. Alternatively you can use make your own "gps.conf" file using this.

With tower location data off (GPS only) and my phone indoors on my desk I now get:

Maybe this will help some battery woes as well. try turing off cell tower location services and see how it works for you.

Oh and please don't use my location data to launch cruise missiles at my house. I will be very unhappy.

EDIT: oh, and credit to the Darky's ROM folks since I kanged their gps.conf file and then modified it.
[Fascinate Android Development] harpdoc:
I find that sensors are fine for normal phone use, but not sensitive enough for games that rely on them.
[Fascinate Android Development] NRadonich:
I pushed that gps.conf and it seemed to help a lot, got a lock within 15 seconds. BTW, which app is that you're using?
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
thats GPS Test
[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
The app is "gps test"

EDIT-- Ive been ninja'd!
[Fascinate Android Development] xtrimsky:
Hey,

I've tried installed GAPPS multiple times, and it never works (well never appears).

- Odined DL09 (tried ED04 too) with pit and repartition

- Odined CWM4 without pit (tried with pit too)

- booted once

- booted in recovery, installed zip CM7

- booted on CM7

- booted in recovery, installed zip gapps (says it worked)

- boot on CM7, no market app =[

Anyone know what am I doing wrong ?
[Fascinate Android Development] xtrimsky:
I did just notice I did not root, might that be the problem ?
[Fascinate Android Development] Toddw:
Still wish the screen would wake up at the end of a call so I could hang up without having to hit the power button on the side. Kind of trivial but it's the only thing I can gripe about with this ROM, other than the random lock-up and reboots which I'm sure is the way I've got VC set. I'm trying to read up on VC settings to be able to extend my battery life.
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Just to rule this out, how are you booting into recovery to install GAPPS? Are you using power menu>reboot>recovery or the 3 finger salute? It also might be that your GAPPS download is corrupted. Try downloading it again and reflashing it.
[Fascinate Android Development] xtrimsky:
My other problem is that when I go into rom manager, it says I must have ClockworkModRecovery installed, when I already do..
[Fascinate Android Development] xtrimsky:
I'm using the 3 finger thing. Should I menu -> reboot -> recovery ?
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
Yes, I think that's your problem. Try it and see.
[Fascinate Android Development] xtrimsky:
Wow it worked thanks!

I love you :D, and so does my wife so that I stop wasting all my time on the phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] ccampos784:
No problem man, so just for future references, when using CM7, only use power menu>reboot>recovery or you'll run into problems. This goes for everyone else as well. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
so, when i am in an out of service are, I am getting random reboots into safe mod, absolutely zero 3g... the phone becomes basically unusable because of all the phantom soft key touches...

i love cm7 but am on the verge of going back to kb2.1 because of all this

current specs are cm7, glitch kernel HL

lost at what to do about 3 g
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
I just noticed this last night, we were playing poker at a friends house and even though I was connected to his wifi my phone was doing dumb ****. As soon as we left to go to the store it stopped. (When I had 3g service) When we got back out his way it started again. Battery draining like mad, rebooting on its own, phantom button presses.....just like you described. Not a deal breaker for me since I just turn my phone off if I don't have signal now but it certainly should be addressed.
[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
And no one cares
[Fascinate Android Development] userno69:
I do! Will this fix also work for the mesmerize though?
[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
It will. The gps.conf file was modified from an i9000 version. It should work fine on any android phone really.
[Fascinate Android Development] lane32x:
wait wait wait...THAT was my problem last week? WHAT THE HECK!

Was this a known bug before right now? Mine was doing the same thing, and I assumed that it was the Glitch Kernel that was not agreeing with my phone. Or the extreme heat outside.

I had my phone with me outside at an old-school church camp (outdoor wooden tabernacle, tiny little cabins, etc) and it started going crazy. And of course the camp is in the middle of nowhere with intermittent signal.

Does anybody know what would cause this phenomenon?
[Fascinate Android Development] nobnoobody:
Thank you so much for posting the GPS fix. Based on very early experimentation, it's really helped.

Also, does anyone know where this god forsaken outdated, PoS forum software is hiding the "Search for my posts" button? Am I just stupid? I've looked under every freaking profile, UserCP link. I'm out of ideas. vbulle**** is more like it. (edit) Apparently you just have to post again (lul) and then click your name and do "Find all posts by...".

Also, thanks again for the GPS fix. Phantom bug presses and we're on a freakishly awesome rom/phone. (cough, cough) If only we had nightlies.
[Fascinate Android Development] lane32x:
Are you saying that you found a way to get rid of the phantom screen/button presses? Or are you hoping that this too will go away in a new update?
[Fascinate Android Development] minho422:
I get damaged sd card notification after a reboot. I've been using it for only 2 days with CM7...is there a fix for this?
[Fascinate Android Development] decaydance99:
Does anyone have an issue syncing picasa Web albums? mine will not sync
[Fascinate Android Development] mirrinigma:
thewaytolite, I don't think there is a video codec fix, I have been asking once or twice between builds and I haven't even gotten a response from others regarding if I'm the only one with issues or not... I am happy at least to hear that the problem is not confined to my handset, though I am disappointed that nobody else has anything to say on the matter...

Also, when I try to overvolt with Voltage Control Extreme in this ROM/any kernel it undervolts for the value I am trying to overvolt... Is this problem confined to me only? I had no problems on any Froyo ROMs.
[Fascinate Android Development] deafptl4ever:
Tomorrow never came. :mad:
[Fascinate Android Development] obsidianchao:
I'm on build 6, went to flash this 11.1, and I bootlooped. I had to three-button into recovery, wipe everything, and flash build 6 again...
[Fascinate Android Development] minho422:
Now I have a broken sd card and I can't get into the cm4 recovery either...even if I do, my sd doesn't work so I can't flash anything.

Is there something wrong with the current cm7 and otb kernel? I can't blame anyone but this is a total chaos...
[Fascinate Android Development] shaels:
What's going on with high cell standby?

Switched you ec09...but battery life is poor. No bluetooth, wifi, gps, random apps sync, nothing funky
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
What video codec problem? I haven't flashed CM yet, but was thinking about it. Does this mean that CM7 can't play videos that say UKB or stock can play, cause if it can't, then that's a deal breaker for me..
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
I haven't had any issues playing videos. Played em on YouTube both app and website. Then on other sites here and there no problems.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
Just used the GPS.conf file provided a few post back and damn. What a difference it made. Thanks a ton. It went from locating like within 3600ft to being right on top of me. All I had to do was place the file, set permissions, clear data from maps and reboot. Thanks again.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Fascinate Android Development] adude247:
does anyone know of a way to get mms from COM ROM 2.0 to work on this ROM?
[Fascinate Android Development] rigglemania:
Not sure if it's related but the GPS Aids app I suggested earlier in the thread appears to create its own gps.conf file (there were no others on my system).

That said, I never had a problem with getting a tight lock even before, it's just that it often took much longer (~60 seconds). Now it's always 5-15 seconds tops.
[Fascinate Android Development] rigglemania:
People care, it's just that a lot of people don't have GPS issues with this ROM. Just like a lot of people don't have battery issues, video issues, etc.

Everybody seems to have at least one issue or another though. It seems to be a mixed bag, just pick your problem out of a hat when you install :p
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
Someone.else suggested GPS aid app as well. Haven't tried it yet but am gonna mess around with it. I don't use GPS alot but if and when I need it to work I want it to be as accurate as possible.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Fascinate Android Development] rigglemania:
Nah, definitely not that. My battery definitely did not lose 2% per hour in deep sleep on any of my "old" roms, I remember that quite clearly :)
[Fascinate Android Development] inmybrain:
I look everyday. One day Christmas will be here.
[Fascinate Android Development] mmtoman:
I look every damn hour!!!! But then again I have problems! :)
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
I don't know why, might have something to do with the data status indicator that turns the indicators from green to white? Guessing here. Only solution is to turn off the phone until you get back to civilization. Then it will work fine. Airplane mode might work too.
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
the thing is with me though, is that this isn't happening out in the middle of nowhere.... it happens where there is plenty of service (for everyone else, just not me). I had verizon do an esn swap.... i reprogrammed with *228.... Ie wipe and reflashed at least 3 times... very very frustratiing.

I love EVERYTHING else about this ROM, but this is a bordeline deal breaker for me.

Also... just noticed this as well.... if I use reboot from the reboot menu (either reboot or recovery) the phone shuts off, but does not reboot. i have to perform a battery pull in order to power it back on

Any suggestions?
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
Are you using glitches kernel. If so. Try less undervolting.or a different leakage level. Not enough power can cause little issues like what your describing

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
I am.... Glitch HL.

OC to 1400

-50 from 1400 down to 200

-100 on 100

will try removing the UVs... thanks for the suggestion. Will report back

Edit: just removed all the UV from 200 up, left it on 100. Reboot works fine now.... but I have experienced all the 3g loss and phantom soft key presses with little or no UV

wish I could figure this out
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
Apparently from what has been discovered. The kernels are actually.mix matched. HL.is actually LL. And vice versa. Try the LL version and see what that does if you haven't already

Also do you have mobile networks set to home only or auto

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
i did not know that about the kernels.... i will give it a try.

also, I am on auto.... thats what it should be, right?
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
Yeah I'm pretty sure it should be. That's what I have mine on. I am on uscc but I think its the same for vwz.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Fascinate Android Development] cesium:
For me it's not even a sensitivity problem. It won't work at all in the game :confused:
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
The phantom key presses and erratic behaviour happens when you are in a area where 3G data is weak or intermittent.
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
that's the thing though....

it is happening to just me in areas I should have no problem getting 3g.

For example, just last night I was at a bar with a bunch of friends. Not one other person had 3g issues, and I was sitting with a basically unusable phone (no data... phantom keys)

was very annoying to say the least. It seems to happen very often
[Fascinate Android Development] spartan.062:
A battery pull may help. If it doesn't, try wiping cache and dalvik. If all else fails, try reflashing.
[Fascinate Android Development] dayusex:
was on comrom, wiped data, flahsed updated CWR, flashed 7.04 let boot, then flashed 7.11 and then 7.14. Flashed the kernal cleaning script then flashed the glitch kernel. I still have the bug now and then where when i answer the phone it still rings and I have to hang up. Plus still have the low incall volume and low speakerphone. Any advice. thanks for the amazing rom!
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
low call volume is a known bug... there is no fix for it ATM

I would try and reflash, except you don't need to go to 7/04, to 7/11, to 7/14

you can flash 7/14 directly now without going through all the other steps (use the fixed CWR 4.0 from the OP)
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
have done all that.... many many many times

no avail...
[Fascinate Android Development] spartan.062:
Try an ESN swap or DMU reset
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
Myself and several others have soft-bricked our phones doing battery pulls. Since then I don't pull the battery.
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
have done an esn swap... what is a dmu reset?
[Fascinate Android Development] mirrinigma:
CM7 for Fascinate lacks video hardware acceleration. It is pretty much a dealbreaker for me, but I have decided to bear with it because it is JUST THAT GOOD otherwise. I'm looking at tablets for my media consumption needs but none of the current crop with 1280x800 have the capability of hardware accelerated high-profile H264... I'm waiting on the Archos G9 101 personally, but I am keeping an eye out for others.

Regarding hardware accelerated video on the Fascinate though, I don't believe any GB ROM right now can do it other than the EC09 leak, but fried SD cards do not a happy media playback device make.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
So, not having hardware accelerated video means that video files(mp4 etc) won't play at all or will have a hard time and be lower quality???

Hope this will be added in a future release...
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
Same difference for the scope of this discussion. If you did an ESN swap you got a DMU reset without knowing it.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Acurate battery?

Maybe a dumb question...I am new to CM...Is there suppose to be an accurate battey...cause I don't see the battery percentage..

EDIT; Found the setting...damn..so many settings here on CM...almost too many....although I prefer the battery icon with percent number, instead of just number...but no big deal..
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
Darn this didn't help my gps, its been horrible on both cm7 and miui.
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
settings>CM settings>interface>status bar tweaks

Beautiful widgets also has a battery percentage widget that you can skin, its pretty slick

*EDIT* you found it as I was posting this lol darn this board moves fast, I'll keep mine up so people have directions to get there

Verizon Backup Mananger

I can't seem to find the Backup Manager...I need that to restore my contacts...Is there a .zip somewhere I can flash?
[Fascinate Android Development] bigjobber69:
They should be stored in your google settings go to google in sync and click sync contacts should be good to go from there
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
No, I used Verizon's backup Assistant...not Google's.
[Fascinate Android Development] doctorj1:
i'm getting bored, i haven't flashed anything in about a week haha there may be some minor bugs with this ROM(low volume, some trouble with MMS, etc) but not enough to make me switch

i haven't had the issues with gps like some have had but then again i never had the issues on any previous rom's so maybe its phone or area specific
[Fascinate Android Development] Adr0it:
Here's a build that I started last night... went to sleep then worked all day so just got it uploaded.

This is from JT's latest source on Github. It includes the kernel updates and the some frameworks updates (namely MMS over WiFi). I didn't add the gps.conf file... I'm pretty lazy :p

I haven't flashed it yet to test, so use at your own risk.

Nuanice Voice Commands

Nuiance Voice Commands...can I flash that app from the ED01 Evil Fascination page..or is that app not compatible with CM..if not, what can I use for a voice command app, I have to have one to use my Bluetooth with.
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
I don't believe you can use any type.of touch wiz apps with cm7. So if evil fascinate it a TW rom then you wouldn't be able to. Cm7 has a voice command app included but I don't know if it will do what you need it too

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Fascinate Android Development] SOTK:
True. You cannot use touchwiz apps with AOSP. You can use CM7's app or look for better one on market.
[Fascinate Android Development] SOTK:
Thanks. Gonna give this a shot!
[Fascinate Android Development] Keithn:
Im pretty sure you can export your contacts list from verizon to your pc, then import them into your google account. Then you should be able to sync contacts and have everything.

Verizon Backup Assistant

Google Contacts
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
OK, just tried the voice dialer....its horrible...keeps getting commands wrong...any good alternatives..
[Fascinate Android Development] mirrinigma:
It means that the only players that will work are MoboPlayer and RockPlayer and it'll work quite badly and look lower quality. The standard video player or mvideoplayer/similar do not function. You will get "This video cannot be played." as an error dialogue and you hit close to be booted back to your file list.

edit: I have a basic mpeg and it works. My xvid videos and h264 do not work. Baseline and high profile. Videos that played fabulously on stock.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
SWEET!!! Thanks man...I had no idea I could do that...1 less Verizon bloatware to worry about...perfect...
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Well, just tried an HD .mp4 on the stock video player...played fine..little choppy at times..but guess that's cause of no hardware accl..

EDIT: just noticed some of my vids don't play..some older avi probably xvid...darn...o well..don't use the phone much for vids anyway at the moment
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
So now, like my wife, you get to sit in front of the computer, log into your gmail account, and enter all your contacts into Google. Then from now on you will never be without your contacts, on phone or on any computer. It sets you free from your carrier for your contacts. Backup Assistant is a thing of the past.
[Fascinate Android Development] bilbotn:
Vlingo from the market for all of your voice commands or just search the market for any of the hundreds out there and see if you like it.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Re: contacts syncing

I also recommend using google's "find and merge duplicates" feature. It's soooooooo nice.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
There is an option in Verizon if you use their backup assistant to log into the site to view the contacts then export them as .csv...then import that to Google...worked perfectly for me...
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
I have always found Nuance_Voice_Commands to be the best...And I don't thing its Touchwiz based, as it appears on my other phones..including, non smartphones....but I could be wrong..
[Fascinate Android Development] AuroEdge:
What are those kernel updates and what all are in the framework updates. Sorry I'm very curious!
