[Vibrant General] jad3675:
Working GPS was the only thing keeping me from fully embracing CM7. Lack of Netflix for Froyo was the only thing keeping me on CM7. With build #55, I was able to get a slight GPS lock if I stood outside on one foot and rubbed my tummy while twirling the Vibrant.

Reading this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1172428) kinda sorta' helped my GPS lock issues. I didn't need to balance on one foot anymore, but locks still took forever, and the accuracy was around 100ft. Signal quality was also sub-par, with most SNRs barely hitting the teens and only locking on 4 or 5 birds.

Back to google for some answers. I found a few references to a 'hardware' fix for the vibrant, and eventually found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878970. Seemed easy enough, and even though my phone had an April, 2011 serial number I didn't think it would hurt to bend out the contact. 30 minutes and one busted thumbnail later I was getting better signal quality with SNRs in the mid 30s, but bird acquisition and locks were still taking the better part of 5 minutes.

At this point I figured the GPS had bad data - either NTP, AGPS, XTRA or something. AngryGPS didn't appear to do much for helping the situation, and GPS doctor doesn't work on CM7. I was trying to figure out how to manually configure this data on CM7 - /data/gps/secgps.conf and /etc/gps.conf don't exist; hell, I didn't even know if CM7 used those files. I unzipp'ed Jellette's GB GPS fix (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=974702) and pushed the secgps.conf and gps.conf to their respective locations, rebooted the phone and went outside. I had 12 birds with SNRs in the mid 30's and within 5 seconds had a 12 foot lock with 6 birds. I turned off the GPS, walked a block away, turned it back on and had the same lock. Walking back to the office with the GPS on showed that the SNR varied a bit and my lock went as high as 55 ft, but it remained locked on until I stepped inside my building. All SNR went to single digits at that point and lock was lost.

I ran Navigation during my 5 mile drive home from work; it had me on both sides of the road at times but it followed my path with excellent accuracy.

I think it was a combination of the hardware fix and the GB GPS fix that did it; I'm still not entirely convinced the gpsd binary from Trigger 12 does anything. I inadvertently deleted my original gpsd binary; otherwise I'd test that theory out.

FWIW, I had horrible GPS performance stock and it didn't get much better under Project V or Bi-Winning.

[Vibrant General] lewishollow:
That's great to hear! What about the magnetometer? Are you getting an accurate compass reading after all of the work you did?
[Vibrant General] Nabeel10:
Where is the secgps.conf and gps.conf location in the phone? I wanna try this EXCEPT the hardware fix.
[Vibrant General] jad3675:
/data/gps/secgps.conf

/system/etc/gps.conf

The hardware fix isn't hard, and if you have low SNR it will probably fix it.

John
[Vibrant General] jad3675:
For this fix to work properly, you'll also need a lto.dat file in /data/gps. There are a few ways to get it. If you're comfortable with adb:

adb shell

cd /data/gps

wget http://gllto.glpals.com/7day/latest/lto.dat

chmod 777 lto.dat

If not, there's an app in the market - GPS Aids V2. It doesn't work 100% on CM7; it fails on the XTRA download, but there is an option in the app to download LTO.

I had mistakenly thought that AGPS downloaded the lto.dat, but turns out it's a replacement for agps. http://www.broadcom.com/collateral/tb/LTO-TB100-R.pdf

Once the lto.dat file is in place, GPS works.

John
[Vibrant General] jazztin_smith:
I read somewhere that gps can be fixed by removing the sim, connecting to a wifi. And using gps config to reset and redownload gps data. Then use your sim data to get a fix. Should work, at least it did for me.

Not sure about the theory behind this, but it could be because the phone is forced to get a gps fix

From the wifi, and not from the signal towers.
[Vibrant General] jad3675:
I did some digging; it turns out CM7 for the P990 (LG Optimus) had a similar issue as the Vibrant - a lack of lto.dat. There was a fix applied to their stream of CM7:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,6455. It's not in the stream for the Vibrant; I'm pretty sure getting into the vibrantmtd builds would help.

[Vibrant General] mveksler:
Juwe's port is the best for me. Tried Revolution and Malice and all were exhibiting same problems. The Juwe 5.1 is blazing fast yet to encounter any lag what so ever no hang up bug. However it does experience occasional soft re-boot and that could be due to TW Luncher issues also I have seen where my radio for voice and data would stop but reboot fix it.

Revolutionary rom is much more stable than cm with battery life that can rival most froyo roms. its also hardware accelerated (wich means way more smooth than cm7 and is capable of playing 720p flash videos on the web ;) ).

So, I downloaded Camera360 pro to test something, since I couldn't find the settings in the stock camera.

Here is the standard blue hue that everyone is complaining about, set on Auto.

and here, I've set it to adjust for flourescent lighting.

So, either you need to download a camera app with these settings, or wait for moto to fix their camera with the proper settings.

Nice! So do you like Camera360 better? Or are you just using it for now until Motorola fixes their camera
[Motorola Droid 3] Immolate:
I did some experimenting yesterday, and I like Camera 360, but what I found with it, the standard camera and Vignette as well was that the blue pictures come from using the flash. If you turn it off, the pictures come out nicely, assuming there's enough ambient light.

Hi guys, I'm running CM7 beta 1 on my Inc2 and recently I can't play 95% of flash videos, its not my network (I get 12mb down/ 7mb up on Wi-Fi and 1mb up and down on 3g). Is there a fix for this,as it is really annoying.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] GottaZoom:
As a related question, is there an easy and comprehensive way to check codecs or video formats to see which video encryption and containers *should* play on Droid phones?

Best video player for extensive file types?

Using GMote I found that most videos on our server will play on my DI2 (stock GB) while a few formats will not . . then there is the rare exception which may be due to the encoding within the container. And of course Netflix is not playing while Skype video works great.

My wife's LG Optimus (stock Froyo) is almost the opposite . . Netflix plays fine, Skype video crashes, and almost all server videos won't run (H264/mp4, etc.) using GMote.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MJL99:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexx210:
Hi. I'm quite new to phone hacking so I'd like to know what would the benefits of getting a custom kernel be? Also, Juwe11's script for ram optimization is only for kernel's which supports init.d. Does the stock Bell Atrix kernel support init.d? If not, which one does? Finally, if I were to flash a custom kernel or even a custom ROM to my phone would that cause a problem once I update to the official Gingerbread update coming out soon? Thanks guys.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gh123man:
custom kernels give benefits android cant do on its own. mainly adding some kind of hardware interaction based support. the biggest advantage with a custom kernel is overclocking.

init.d - i dont know

yes. it would. if you are on a custom rom you will not get the ota. you will need to flash back to stock. but chances are. we will have a gingerbread rom far better then the official far before it comes out.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexx210:
That is very helpful. Thank you. So Bell Atrix's already have a ROM for Gingerbread and it is confirmed working if I'm not mistaken? Also, if I unlock my bootloader does that automatically give me Gingerbread and could I still update to the official one if need be at this point with no problems? Finally, can any ROM out there be flashed to the Atrix or are there only certain ones?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gh123man:
im on at&t so i cant answer 100% accurately so someone please step in if you know the answer. if you unlock the bootloader that does not automatically give you gingerbread. just the openness to flash the different partitions of the device with anything you want. such as a gingerbread rom. also im not sure about official roms because once im unlocked i stay far far away from them. and for your last question. right now you have to flash specific roms. you should not flash an at&t rom at this point. although i here that issue is being worked on so we hopefully we will be able to share roms between carriers soon

Do you see the huge difference in viewing counts between SGT 10.1 and Asus transformer in forums? Although SGT is a better product it seems that Transformer is more popular. I wonder why.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] T120ted:
I'm sure it is the fact that the dock and sd support right out of the gate had something to do with it. Not to mention that a lot of folks already had experience with eee products and people tend to lean toward more comfortable environments when given options. I swore off Asus after my last few laptops. Their quality dropped off and the screens were the worst I had had in years. Bad screen=bad experience for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Aaron636r:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] foxmeister:
I wouldn't say the Sgt is a better product, just a different product. The Sgt is a tablet in it's purest form, whereas the Transformer is more of a hybrid between a tablet/netbook. Your requirements will determine is the best product for your needs.

Dave
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Entropy512:
Transformer has been out a lot longer.

Also initially it's a lot more tempting. $100 cheaper tempts a lot of people, not many have seen the build quality reviews, nor have they seen that Asus is heavily backordered on all accessories, even simple critical stuff like sync/charge cables. Lose/damage your cable and you're screwed.

Samsung has the same proprietary cable problem as Asus, but at least there is availability of replacements, not just from Samsung but from third parties.

This was the main reason that drove me away from the Transformer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jvs60:
Exactly, cheaper product in more hands
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Croak:
Lets not forget that the Tab 10.1 isn't even available in all markets yet either (it's still a month off for Canada, for instance).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TabGuy:
Look at it this way... People come to forums primarily to complain and get solutions to problems. If they're getting more posts it may not be a good thing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] T120ted:
+1 on this. I hate to say it, but that's what brought me back here. It had been so long since I had posted in the forum I couldn't rememer my account password. I had to open a new one. It's all good. I needed to be more social. I usually just get the info I need without posting. Plenty of people asking the same questions more than once on these forums. Hence the read forums only on my part. That and I can come across rather harsh sometimes so, i keep it to myself. But, over the years I have learned more people generally mean more problems.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] foxmeister:
It's only partially true though - more people often also means more popular/widespread too. If it didn't, by post count alone, the Huawei Ideos X7, Notion Ink Adam, and Advent Vega would clearly be the tablets with the least issues! :)

OK so I am new to the mt4g... I currently use a sgs4g, the rest of my family uses the mt4g and they live in Indiana while I live in Texas. I followed the guides to get the phone rooted with s-off. I installed the cwm from rom manager becuz I could not find an up to date thread. Anyways when I reboot in to cwm it seems to work fine except when I try to go into a submenu it just gives me a blank screen with no text. I was going to do a nandroid back up but this is not possible without getting into the submenus of cwm. I then tried rom manager to flash virtuous unity and it worked perfectly. I am unsure of what is going on exactly but I am afraid that if the phone happens to soft brick I will not be able to get back into recovery or even if I do I cannot flash anything or be able to unbrick the phone. I am not nooby I have been working with android for a while now and have soft bricked my sgs4g many times while learning. Almost hard bricked due to wrong bootloaders. Anyways one thing I left out is if I try to click the power button while I am in one of the blank submenus it just goes back to the main menu.

Any help would be very much appreciated and also I do not have a usable computer ATM so everything I do is with my phone or someone else's.

Thanks guys for all the fantastic threads for the mt4g, it only took me about 2hrs to get s-off and roms installed, minus the 4 hrs it took me to realize that only the final s-off method works on the 0.86.0000 bootloaders.

Recommend the battery for now, not sure if it will hold up after frequent recharges.

Battery recharged in about 2hr 50mins from 0-1% to 100%., double the time if using external charger that came with the battery since its only a 400ma charger. http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

HTC battery recharged anywhere from 3 to 4 hours on A/C power.
