Here's a possible clue to the GPS issue. From logcat:

D/GPSD ( 114): event set 1
D/GPSD ( 114): gps_client_fd(12)
D/GPSD ( 114): SecLbs_processMessages
D/GPSD ( 114): SecLbs_processMessages header_type : 2, nread=5128
D/GPSD ( 114): SecLbs_processMessages length : 5120
D/GPSD ( 114): SEC_FUNC_INJECT_XTRA_DATA
D/GPSD ( 114): sec_gps_inject_xtra_data:
D/GPSD ( 114): load_xtra_bin: buf_len 50000
E/GPSD ( 114): load_xtra_bin: open /data/gps/xtra.bin failed. Permission denied.
E/GPSD ( 114): No cached xtra.bin. request to download new binary.
D/GPSD ( 114): state_thread looping

Note the permission denied error. So from the shell I take a look at the xtra.bin file:

# ls -l /data/gps
srwxrwxrwx 1 gps system 0 Aug 10 10:33 secgpsd.socket
-r----x--t 1 system system 38525 Aug 10 10:33 xtra.bin

That's some wonky permissions on xtra.bin! I tried chown-ing it to gps so that gpsd can read it, however gpsd doesn't appear to try to read xtra.bin again unless I reboot. But after the reboot, the xtra.bin file goes back to the messed up permissions.

The xtra.bin file contains the AGPS data which allows GPS to get a fix much faster. Since GPSD can't read the file it has to do a 'cold start' which means it takes longer to get a fix.

Help!! Blank sms!!

i flashed this MIUI rom onto my fascinate and whenever i send an SMS, it shows up blank to the recipient...

any help???
[Fascinate Android Development] jmac9:
The phone thing is a known issue. The first time a call comes in you have to unlock the screen and then pull down the notification screen to get the info. But after the first one, it goes away and you should be getting the info on screen when the call comes in.
[Fascinate Android Development] jmac9:
I had been using glitch, but losing bln was a bummer so I reflashed using the stock kernel, and I must say....I'm really liking it! Speaker works! In call volume and all volumes aregreat! Bln running.
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:
Wow, it seems as if there are A LOT of issues, for some people,

with the 1.8.5 update. Would it be wise of me to start with

1.7.29 when switching over to Miui?!? :/
[Fascinate Android Development] Shamrock13:
Definitely try out 1.7.29. It was good and I didn't really run into many issues. This is just as good except it has a few problems here and there.

I feel like my battery life on 1.8.5 is a wee bit worse than on 1.7.29. Does anyone else agree with that?
[Fascinate Android Development] streebs87:
Honestly the most stable versions for me were .15 and .22. I never used .29 because of complaints. So far, 1.8.5 seems good, except the theming issues, which I'm sure will be resolved soon enough. Thanks for the great work, I really love MIUI and don't ever plan on switching.
[Fascinate Android Development] lucas.scott:
My data issue wasn't the roms fault. I personally really enjoy this build, but can someone link me to the 1.7.29? Or at least the mms.apk from it?
[Fascinate Android Development] Gonesingle:
^^^^^ :confused:
[Fascinate Android Development] jmac9:
In the stickies above.....

[Fascinate Android Development] jmac9:
Hadn't seen that before. Is everything else appear normal? Have you tried reflashing the Rom? I would even do a fresh download and then reflash.
[Fascinate Android Development] lucas.scott:
Yeah i saw that , but clicking that link in the stickie just sends me back to this thread .. which only has the current (1.8.5) release .

Maybe im missing something ..

Edit:

Nevermind , I found it at RootzWiki , and if anyone is interested , i took the mms.apk from 1.7.29 and put it in the 1.8.5 rom and reflashed . Themes and sms all work as it should now . I wasnt able to just use root explorer and copy the mms.apk to system/app . It would never show back up . But regardless , replacing it in the rom and reflashin worked just fine . I no longer have any isses with 1.8.5 :D
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:
I'm also looking for the 1.7.29 file(Because of the minimal problems).

So started searching in Rootzwiki and could only find the mesmerize one, I assume that is the correct one?

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=1169&highlight=Miui+1.7.29+fascinate

Or in other words, i am interested in doing exactly what you did!
[Fascinate Android Development] lucas.scott:
http://db.tt/Rta6DAQ

That's the one for the fascinate that I used. Just replace it in the Rom and reflash. No need to wipe anything.
[Fascinate Android Development] streebs87:
That's a cool find, thanks for sharing. Just want to ask though. .. best way to replace this would be on my computer, correct? Unzip, replace apk, rezip, then flash?

Sent from my MIUI'ed Fascinate.
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:
Oh, well I have to wipe because I'm not yet on Miui. lol

But just wanted to flash over with the least amount of problems

as possible!

So would you suggest I replace anything else besides the mms.apk?!

Also, after hearing about all these problems with the glitch kernel, would you suggest sticking with the

kernel this rom includes?!
[Fascinate Android Development] Rick S:
actually, flashing the mms apk in recovery works also...i just unzipped a kernel update in root explorer, added in the mms apk to system / app, rezipped, and flashed in recovery. great find by the way
[Fascinate Android Development] lucas.scott:
Yeah. I had 1.8.5 on my SD card ..so I connected phone to PC, navigated to SD card, double clicked Rom so it opened in winrar then just clicked and dragged mms.apk to system /app. It replaced it ... unplugged and reflashed the Rom. All is well
[Fascinate Android Development] streebs87:
Awesome, thanks for the info. :)

[Fascinate Android Development] Zeromus2003:
Need some advice.....

I did a FULL wipe (cleared data, cache, dalvik) and installed Miui 1.8.5 from my SD card and all appeared to be fine. I have never had any issues with previous MIUI releases until now. Like many others, I finally got hit by the "SD insta-death" issue.

I have searched on these forums but I am still not 100% sure what I should do to fix this? Thank goodness I had backed up my SD card about two weeks ago. With that being said, what should I do to get my SD functional again? Will it be necessary to ODIN ED05 stock package or can I leave MIUI 1.8.5 still on the phone and just fix my SD card?

Sorry if this sounds like redundant questions posted by others....I just know a lot of you guys run into stuff like this and seem to bounce back to a working state quickly.

Thanks for your time!

Instead of repacking the new ROM with the mms.apk file from the older MIUI ROM, why not just copy that mms file into the system/app folder using Root Explorer? Is that possible in MIUI?

Changelog?

is there a changelog for 1.8.5? D: or am i just blind
[Fascinate Android Development] J Shed:
www.miui.us
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Just checking because it's never worked for me either. I thought it was just me doing it wrong.

Anyhow, I formatted /boot, /system, /cache, /datadata, and /data this time. Then I reflashed the repacked version of v1.8.5 ROM which included the mms.apk from v1.7.29. After rebooting, I tried to send a 10 line SMS and I still got the FC. What's worse is that the SMS delivery report still shows "sending", but the message never got sent. This SMS issue blows! I'm on the verge of reverting back to 1.7.29 since I made a backup of my last setup.
[Fascinate Android Development] Mageta:
Can I flash this over CM7?
[Fascinate Android Development] Tkun:
I found that sending in only one message at a time (160 characters) worked for me. Just break up a long message into multiple messages and it'll submit fine.

i know its a problem but it took 14 minutes to lock on with the gps, onces its locked on the gps works great.............

Search for gpsfix in the market, all one word. I've found that usually if I run it first and then switch to maps or whatever once it's done then it locks much faster.

[Fascinate Android Development] JWFokker:
Same thing happened to me. You'll need to format the SD card. Testdisk and Find and Mount couldn't restore any partitions on my card.
[Fascinate Android Development] piiman:

[Fascinate Android Development] Dj-Dubster_TN:
So I love this rom and I believe that I've posted this before but I couldn't remember anyways, I always get this random.phantom back button pressing that always happens two or 3 seconds after I enter an app,mostly ones that rely on heavy 3g and it makes it very difficult to use the phone although I love this rom, I just wanna know if I'm the only one having this issue,and/or if there's a way to fix it
[Fascinate Android Development] Tkun:
Yes, but make sure to wipe data, cache, and dalvik before flashing MIUI.
[Fascinate Android Development] mgrimmenator:
so is this rom fully working now? is there anything not working correctly? any missed call issues etc?

Thinking of switching to this but want to make sure before going through the process.
[Fascinate Android Development] Mageta:
The only problem I have had is not being able to tether.
[Fascinate Android Development] Shinebox:
I am having a problem sending MMS and LONG text. It keeps telling me that "com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly"
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Just noticed that the backup tool is force closing on this ROM version. It wasn't when I was on v1.7.29. Remember that previously, I did a complete data wipe, formatted /boot & /system. Then I reflashed v1.8.5 Went into the backup tool and got FC. I renamed the MIUI folder, rebooted my phone. And now it's able to open the backup tool but of course, all the previous back files are inaccessible since its in a different folder called MIUI.old. I'm pretty much done messing with this ROM version.

Reverting back to v1.7.29.
[Fascinate Android Development] Tkun:
The main problem I've been having is sending messages longer than 160 characters, but I've also ran into some other problems like randomly getting no service whatsoever (it's usually only for a few seconds, but it's annoying nonetheless). I suggest waiting for the next MIUI update or using 1.7.22 if you can find it. That's what I'm currently on now.
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Hold off and wait.
[Fascinate Android Development] Shinebox:
Ok here is what is happening, the phone isn't converting SMS properly when it goes over 145 characters it crashes phone.apk and when I restarted the SMS was still in my outbox trying to send which is why it kept crashing constantly. I deleted the message and sent two seperate ones, so far this is the only problem I have experienced, hopefully a fix will come soon.

Also, when the phone.apk force closes you lose both 3g and Signal.
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:
So from what I've noticed, people have been reverting back to or sticking with 1.7.22. Is that my best bet right now, because i really wanted to switch to Miui. Are there any key features missing from 1.7.22, or is it the most stable version with minimal problems?! Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
It all depends on the phone. Each phone is different. Many were having issues with the previous version, 1.7.29. But my phone didn't have as many issues and definitely wasn't as problematic as when I flashed the latest one, which 1.8.5. There's really no real way to foretell. You just have to jump in and do it. Just make sure you make a backup of your current ROM either by using CWM or ROM manager before venturing off into the MIUI realm.
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:
Right right, definitely backed up. Then, I think I'll first dive in to what seems to be the most stable version, 1.7.22...and then once the updates become more consistent and stable, I will update from there.
[Fascinate Android Development] yummylishouz:
searched but cant find the answer.. thought i saw it somewhere before though.. can we set the power button for camera shutter?
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
Still on 1.8.5, still not having these fc issues everyone is complaining about. Using jt's new kernel as well.

If it helps anyone: Flashed fixed cwm and through it, 1.8.5 from ED05. Booted into it, rebooted to cwm, ran cleaner, and installed jt's new kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:
Where in fact is the "fixed" cwm located? And

what do you mean by running cleaner when booting back to cwm?
[Fascinate Android Development] Roblovesbox:
I haven't had any FC issues at all. All I did was wipe cache and Dalvik cache. Booted into rom, went to CWR flashed glitches kernel. Booted up. Went back and flashed the 2.3.5 gapps post in the forums. So far everything works perfectly.
[Fascinate Android Development] :
Interesting issue: I'll open an app, then a few seconds later the phone will act like I hit the Back or Menu buttons, eventually closing the app. The only thing is, I was nowhere near the buttons.

Example: I open Angry Birds (this issue is most annoying when I can't kill piggies, but also happens with Dolphin Browser, Google Maps, etc.), a few seconds into gameplay the game will pause, then will close, and a message will pop up, "Angry Birds has successfully closed." It keeps happening, even after restarting.

Is this the notorious Force Close issue, or is this something else? How can I fix it? I'm not sure, but it seems like this might be happening more with a low charge. Is this the ROM's way of saving power, because I kinda hate it...

Thanks in advance!

Anyone experience SD card issues, like it saying it was damaged
[Fascinate Android Development] Tkun:
It has happened on all of the AOSP roms I've been on when I take out one card and insert another. Just reboot the phone and the SD card will work again.
[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
Common problem with our phones. Nobody knows why it happens or how to fix it. The only way to avoid problems is to go to settings-applications-development and disable back button long press. Then whenever it happens just lock the phone as fast as possible and on the lockscreen swipe across all the buttons, usually works for me.

My SD is shot. I tried the above method but to no avail.
[Fascinate Android Development] OhioYJ:
So my SD card died today, broken or damaged SD card message. Doesn't work in the phone at all now, I was able to recover about half the data from it on the computer. Called Verizon and have a Charge coming as a replacement now.

Read this post, I do not have a replacement phone coming just because of a dead SD card. I should have explained it better, I've got a new phone coming because of missed calls, gps, data problems.
[Fascinate Android Development] piiman:
Why? You should have just bought a new CD card. It wasn't VZW fault. This is why they hate rooting and modding.
[Fascinate Android Development] piiman:
Well that's an interesting fix. How did you discover it and a more importantly how would that fix a toasted SD card?
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Either way, that was pretty slick having VZW accept responsibility for a toasted SD card and to get them to send you a new phone. What's the magic word??

[Fascinate Android Development] jdf19:
Ya same thing happened to me. I just bought a new kingston 8 gig. I really want MIUI but i dont want to break this one too.
[Fascinate Android Development] OhioYJ:
I should have been more detailed about that. I have tons of SD cards laying around that's not really the issue. I got a replacement phone because of missed calls, and ED05 killed my GPS, to make anything half work, I had to use the EC09 modem, 3g data constantly falling out, the list goes on. When it ate my SD card today, that was the last straw, I called and told them about my problems, they are sending out a new phone. I wasn't even put through the typical dumb troubleshooting (pull battery etc), because these issues with our phones are well known by Verizon.

I pulled what data I could off the SD card, some of it was salvageable, and a lot of it I have backups of anyways.

I don't think it's MIUI breaking the cards at all, it's an all around problem for many. EC09 seemed to be when people starting having the most problems with bad SD cards, guy I work with has already had two SD cards, and he is still running OTA, in fact up until I showed him how to update, he wasn't even Froyo, so it's something else going on.
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Maybe I should flash EC09 back on my Fascinate and tell them that it fried my SD Card and see what I get. I do have insurance on my phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] OhioYJ:
I highly doubt warranty issues are why they hate rooting and modding. They can simply deny any warranty claims on modded phones if they wanted too, plus I doubt they receive many phones like that anyways. I think they hate rooting and modding because it allows you to do things with your phone, they want to charge you for, like tethering for one.
[Fascinate Android Development] OhioYJ:
One of the options I got was for them to send me out another Fascinate that did not have the ED05 update, so not sure that one will work for you.

They have another update they are supposedly going be dropping soon to try and address these issues again too, since many still have problems after ED05.

[Fascinate Android Development] piiman:
They could deny warranty if you walked in and told them you had a rooted modded phone but I'm guessing they didn't do that. Most return phone to stock and then lie about it. And stealing services is just another reason to hate us. If you're going to test ROM's its on you if you f it up not VZW IMO. My SD card got fried and I bought a new one but hey I'm funny that way.

I see he now says he had lots of other problem but I'm also wondering if he was on Stock ROM when he had those. If so I say cool make VZW replace it but if he wasn't Its still the same, he made a warranty claim when he shouldn't have.
