[Thunderbolt General] DaRkL3AD3R:
Is this supposed to fix the issue where GPS simply doesn't turn on at all on AOSP? Because that's what I'm experiencing even after making these changes. I turn on GPS and open something like Maps and I don't get an icon in my notification bar, nor does it even try to look for me. That's the common AOSP GPS bug that requires Sense GPS lock in order to fix.

Are you guys saying this change in OP fix this particular issue? Or what exactly should it be fixing? Because unfortunately like I said I'm experiencing the same exact problems, nothing changed :(
[Thunderbolt General] asianrage:
where is the location of this build. prop?

[Thunderbolt General] Crimton:
I'm experiencing the same thing here. My GPS just doesn't work at all before or after the gps.conf edits.
[Thunderbolt General] Breezer23:
Unfortunately, it didn't fix anything for me. After rebooting the device it reset to Eastern Europe. In fact, I wasn't able to lock GPS at all using GPS Status.
[Thunderbolt General] scotty1223:
i looked in system/build.prop for persist.radio.agps.mode=x and i couldnt find that line at all :confused:

found alot of persist.other stuff but not persist.radio.agps

did i miss it? or is it just not always there?
[Thunderbolt General] idkwhothatis123:
Agreed. I did the same on cm7. Perfecto
[Thunderbolt General] Absolute_Zero:
In CM7 based, it's under the "+from QCT Fusion" section
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
i noticed DT incorporated this gps.conf and build.prop into his latest SHIFTAO5P. although after installing the rom, i had to reboot for the gps to kick in.
[Thunderbolt General] tcallahan:
Okay so... I added the build.prop edit and the config from the OP... now when i open my maps app... bam! its 100% on point. But still when i try to use navigation it just gets stuck "searching for gps". Has anyone gotten past this point on CM7?
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
the gps.conf and build.prop fix the gps when you are using the Maps program. seems to work just fine even when you do the 'directions' bit from it.

for some reason though, the Navigation program still has an issue. i've tried practically every aosp rom out there and Maps/Directions works fine no problem, but every single time.. wether i apply this "fix" or not, navigation still craps out.

i've not only used this maps fix, but tried those "gps fix" .zip's from DT's threads and installing a sense rom first, getting a fix, then installing an aosp rom.. yet still, Maps is fine, Navigation is not.
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
I had to do the Sense trick to get my GPS to work with CM7 initially and my Navigation works perfectly. The only issue I have is the network location issue that is present in AOSP ROMs for our device.
[Thunderbolt General] project.in.process:
anyone having trouble,

i did the trick (as mentioned/suggested) where i copied the text in an email to myself & pasted it into the text window

However---make sure you add line breaks in the code to show it exactly like the OP wrote it. otherwise, code runs together and won't function properly.

just a thought.
[Thunderbolt General] eris72:
i used this on the latest omfgb nightly, though it was after doing the sense trick so idk how much of a difference it made. about 24 hrs after doing it, however, my phone lost all ability to make phones calls, send texts, or use data. only wifi worked. i'm not blaming this, but i had been running that nightly/kernel combo for over a week with no problems and i just wanted to post it in case it happens to anyone else. i don't know enough about this to tell if its at all feasible that this could've caused such a thing.

to fix it i had to wipe everything, and i decided to flash cm7 1.7. used this again, and gps works fantastic! hopefully what happened before was just a fluke or unrelated, because having to do the sense trick every time i flash aosp always held me back from updating or trying different roms.

for people having trouble with the script, with a little adb knowledge its very easy.. just pull, gedit, push.. i've been saving the old one as .bak before pushing the new one just in case. takes all of 2 minutes and theres no copying/pasting from emails or whatever on your phone, which can mess up the format.
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
i received an email suggesting that people who are having problems getting this fix to work may have DNS issues. i'm not sure if that would be the case or not, but just in case, i've added an " [EDIT] " to the main post with info on the 'DNS fix'.

[Thunderbolt General] msmartsmart:
I did it... it worked. I had to use the DNS fix, but I have a nice accurate GPS lock now. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] jhudak:
Do the IP addresses listed in the OP make sense to anyone? I noticed these same numbers in ThunderShed after looking into some GPS problems I was experiencing.

The first IP appears to be running an NTP server, but I couldn't find one on the second IP.

The next four aren't even valid IP addresses, but appear to be a bastardization of the North American NTP hostnames that began with 0, 1, etc.

The xtra.bin files aren't present on the two servers listed (1 and 3 are duplicates). I don't believe any of these IPs correlate to the hostnames in the first example, which is what I would expect.

To me this spells "broken" for anyone using the DNS version of this fix as posted. Does anyone draw the same conclusion?
[Thunderbolt General] MaXi32:
AFAIK, when u ping the ntp host, the host return a random IP based on your country. Example if the host has 10 ntps based on USA it will take the random of 10 ips. So, if using fixed IP to solve this problem let say 1 of 10 ip that u use has problem or down then u wont get fixed. U need to find another 9 working ips. Not a good solution.

Can the Epic visual voice mail be ported to the nexus some how? Has anyone tried this?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Paul627g:
Some people have mentioned waiting to see if the Visual Voice mail from the SGSii on from Sprint will be a possibility
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] NYYFan325:
If you want the same functionality use google voice and DO NOT integrate your number. Go through the normal gv setup and then it basically acts just like vvm did
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] adamw1101:
It won't slave my phone and make me press 1 to answer a freaking call?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] NYYFan325:
Nope, and that was a setting that could be changes @ google.com/voice anyway
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] gsxrdennis25:
You have to set up Google voice using sprint #, then wait 15 mins

Then Google to Google voice on your laptop browser and deactivate your sprint # to go back to your regular Google voice #

Then you should be able to go back to phone and use Google voice only for voicemail
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Paleryder:
Just install and set up google voice DO NOT INTEGRATE the tick the box for voicemail ONLY if that is all you want to do for now. I was very hesitant to do this and finally did, it works perfectly and you also get free voice mail transcriptions to text as well.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] vansmack:
Outside of the GV recommendations given here...

I think you're going to find that the answer is no. The Nexus series on Sprint has the voice mail routed through a different server than regular Sprint phones, and thus renders the Sprint Visual Voicemail app useless. You will find that it will install, and you can open it, but it will find no voice mail from the server.

I wish I had a link to prove this as it comes up often, but either a Sprint Tech or some smart member of this community (or some other android community) explained it all once.

Give Google Voice a shot....
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] olliefares:
Yes, I ran into these same issues with the Epic and the EVO when using AOSP roms (Cyanogenmod, MIUI, etc). This is probably the same issue on the Nexus S because is uses AOSP firmware. What ends up happening here is that the vm app installs, but it does not configure correctly to download voicemail. The solution I found on another thread worked perfectly on the Epic/EVO, and should work fine on the nexus. If it doesn't, let me know, I'm curious (im on gv so i dont use the app anymore). Here it is: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=982966
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] nmoreman:
I was so excited, but I couldn't get it to work. I read, re read, and tried to follow directions, usually very good at it, but couldn't find any of this on Titanium Backup as they kept discussing. I looked through everything, even tried step 10, could not get anything to work after loading the .apk. It kept

trying to verify everything and just had wheels spinning.

It does show an email pack in the notifications, but since I just upgraded from CM7 to 2.3.7, don't know if this is the new notification or part of the visual

voicemail that remains on my phone.

You had my hopes up, good info, but didn't work for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kualkerr:
Hi,

I guess I did something a bit stupid, went into recovery and formated /system, /cache, /data, did factory reset and then rebooted my phone.

I get the boot screen with the samsung logo, then the cm7 logo and then something to do with the recovery appears really fast:

-- Installing
Finding update package...
E:unkown volume for path []
E:can't mount
Installation aborted

And then back to samsung logo, etc.

The 3-button access to download or recovery mode doesn't work. If I plug the USB cable, Windows does that "device connected" sound and then disconnects again each time it loops, but ADB can never find it.

So I guess my question is, is there anything else I can try before buying the usb dongle?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonVito2020:
Have you tried pulling out the batt and trying for download mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kualkerr:
If you mean taking out the battery and reinserting it, yes, I've tried it. Taking out the battery is the only way to stop the loop lol

If you meant actually going into download mode without the battery, I just tried plugging the USB cable and hitting the 3 buttons for a while and nothing happened. Unless it is some different key combination when the battery is out.

Which one has the best life?

Humble 1.6

Gummy EE4 2.0

Stock EP1Q

Gummy 1.9 EP1Q?

If i am getting %12-15 drain per hour while totally idle with 4g, wifi, bluetooth, and GPS disabled on Gummy 2.0 (base with no other software installed/running) is it worth taking to verizon (flashed to stock ee4) and try to get a replacement battery or something?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
First off this should probably be in Q&A...

Secondly whoa there buddy thats a ton of drain with nothing activated or running, I get about 10-12% drain when I'm using it heavily. Have you tried calibrating your battery? There's a neat thread here in the general section somewhere like the 13 steps to a calibrated battery... After that you might wanna try downloading SetCPU or Voltage Control from the market and messing with some undervolting. If all that fails maybe you could try flashing the EP1Q modems in Odin, they're supposed to really reduce the 4G/3G/1x 'handoff' that drains battery. Worst case if you don't see any improvement then yes maybe flash back to stock and see if VZ will give you a new battery
[Verizon Droid Charge] pukemon:
You should keep your charge charged because charging it will keep it on.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Hardy harr.

Anyway, I had this exact issue when I first flashed Gummy2.0. When you flash a new ROM your battery stats are messed up(they aren't used to the new ROM) and cause MAJOR drain. My phone died in 6 hours in light usage on the first day of flashing it(as opposed to the 23+ hours of light I usually get). Also, the new kernel included in Gummy2.0 doesn't help with the battery stats either. A very simple fix to this is to just Calibrate your battery. Download the Battery Calibration app from the Android Market which will make calibrating a lot easier.

You can also try Undervolting(use the Voltage Control app) and lowering your brightness(use the Screen Filter app and set your brightness to like 70% and it will give you a boost in battery life). Aside from those tips there's nothing else to say, as Kejar has told us; ROMs have almost nothing to do with battery life. It's almost solely based on the kernel. Don't choose a ROM because you think it has better battery life. Just calibrate and you'll be fine.
[Verizon Droid Charge] pukemon:
Screen filter does nothing for battery life itself. Lowering brightness will help but that is not always ideal. Do y'all happen to know what chip is used to control your display?

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cmdrfrog:
SO i forgot to mention i was losing 15% per hour Idle After doing a battery re-calibration and wiping battery stats - charging to 100 on, then again while off, then on then off etc. then drain to 0 then full charge with power off.

STILL i get 15% per hour drain. I have also NEVER made it a full day wihtout having to charge, even 23 hours of total idle with mobile data/gps/bluetooth/wifi totally off would not be possible.. on any RoM i ever had.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cj316x:
that's exactly how mine is,

i have not yet found a fix for this.

i don't know if it the phone or battery.

and i have calibrated many times and still the same.
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
You should usually be able to tell if it's the battery by the above average heat signature it gives off. I had the same exact issue and swapped out a new battery no questions asked. It's actually more prevalent than you would think. They can ship you a new one express or you can go to a corporate store and switch it in person.

I'm now getting 18+ on "moderate" usage and 24+ on "light" usage.

In the end it wouldn't hurt to try.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cmdrfrog:
Its funny you mention that. On the days when it REALLY drops fast the battery gets really hot even when its doing nothing. So would you advise that i go ask for a replacement?
[Verizon Droid Charge] pukemon:
Its unlikely its your battery. It could be but I suspect something rogue is draining it fast or cpu or gpu is rogue.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
If you want to rule it out then yes, why not. Like I said it wouldn't hurt to.

They didn't even look at my "voided" phone lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] gnarlynewport:
Yeah, same here. :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
Humble 1.6 is the clear winner. 36 hours of heavy use compared to 8 hours heavy use in 1.51.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Nitsuj has told us time and time again that ROMs have almost nothing to do with battery life, it's all about the kernel. You're spreading false facts.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cj316x:
36 Hours of heavy use? um are you sure?

seems so false to me.

its also weird how some please claim they get 15 hours to 20 hours

when i don't even get that and have the same phone and battery and everything off.

maybe there faking to make them self's look impressive and make us jealous?
[Verizon Droid Charge] 24BlackMamba:
i had a similar problem. i would suggest going into CWM and wipe everything then reflash gummy 2.0 also going over to rootzwiki and getting imoseyon's new kernel v. 1.2.1 and flashing that via cmw. then after you have done that, calibrate your battery. after doing all this i am now getting 15-20 hrs moderate use
[Verizon Droid Charge] cj316x:
what do u mean by wipe everything?
[Verizon Droid Charge] 24BlackMamba:
Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. U don't have to wipe but I think it would help its up to you. I would def. suggest reflashing gummy 2.0 and getting imoseyons most recent kernel over at rootzwiki.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
He means wipe cache & dalvik cache. He might also want you to wipe your data/format but that will erase all your apps so be careful. I've already posted how to get phenomenal battery life in this thread, it's VERY simple. If it doesn't work for you then just try again, if it still doesn't then I can't help you.

And no, we're not just "saying" we can get 15 hours of moderate usage, if you can't make it through the day you are definitely doing something wrong.
[Verizon Droid Charge] pukemon:
It could make a difference with rom if a kernel is built into it. Otherwise rom itself has nothing to do with battery life.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
