I like to actually wipe instead of flashing a wipe. Try flashing the nightly on top of your current one, just wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing.

Sent from my HTC Hero making C.R.E.A.M.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
+1. I would go into recovery (I use CWM) and format system, cache, data, boot and then flash whatever rom you are trying to flash. Also, give it some time to boot up. Some roms can take a while. You can try the flashover too as Dastin suggested.

Are you using any tweaks like firerat's? There can be issues with that if your system partition is too small

Good luck!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbarnwell:
That is a good idea

Keep rolling back versions of the ROM I want to try until something sticks.

Update the 'new' ROM to the latest version.

In the meantime, I've updated to CWM 4.0.1.5 and wiped everything possible at least twice. Plus a format all script. I will let you know if this does it for me
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williams1978:
I still have not been able to flash any other roms, the only thing I can do is change recoveries and do nandroid restores. I am using the latest herodeck rom which is based on the CM roms. Hopefully someone will be able to help us.

And sorry about making a new post I was thinking that we were using different roms but I guess that they are actually pretty close to being the same.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
im considering trading my tbolt for a different phone. im having too many battery life and 4g issues. my question is if i trade will i loose my unlimited data? i just signed up with verizon for a 2 year plan back in june of this year. i also wonder how long i would need to keep my tbolt to avoid best buy or verizon charging me full price?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
No. The terms of contract are on the line and account, not the device.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
so the only time ill loose my unlimited data is when my two years is up and i renew?

what about the amount of time i need to keep the phone, does anyone know best buy/verizon policy?...i think it's 3-6 months, not sure?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I don't think they care at all. I can't remember the last time I actually used a phone on the line I used to for the upgrade. I get an upgrade on one line and have my number set on it. My dInc I shoved off to a totally different contract before the contract on it's renewal line was up.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randallel:
What do you mean buy charging you? I might trade in my Thunderbolt too.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
when you buy the phone anywhere at a discounted price they can charge you full retail if you do not keep the phone for soo many days. i just cannot remember if it's 90 or 120 days?

He is right I had an issue and I had switched my phone to a basic phone while me and Verizon had it out. I rooted my phone fixed the issues and reactived my phone got a new aim card for free and still have my unlimited data.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grnlantern79:
I don't know how you are going to jump phones to fix 4G draining issues those exist on all phone @ this point with exception of bionic maybe since it has not hit the hands of consumers so they can toy around with it for 12 hours. Why not get extended battery and call it good at least till more option come out. Find a Rom that works for you tweak settings stop kernel jumping and be happy.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagoffreedom:
I can talk from experience. I had a thunderbolt then I traded it for a droid charge on craigslist at the beginning of August. And I still had my unlimited data plan. And two weeks ago i dropped my charge and it broke so I bought a Incredible 2 (3g) off craigslist and had Verizon activate it and I still have my unlimited data plan.

You shouldnt have any problems but if you do you can call verizon and they are still more than willing to set you up with an unlimited data plan (even though they technically cant)

Let's say I traded my Tbolt. How much would it cost to get a Droid 3. My Tbolt is in pretty good condition still. And when you said they could charge you if your didn't have it for a curtain amount of time...why would they shouldn't they charge you more if you had it longer?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grnlantern79:
You can get a 100 dollar credit with a trade in to Verizon not sure that is worth it but it comes on a visa card if you want to buy something somewhere else. I am sure you can get maybe 150 on a personal site.
[Motorola Droid 3] bishop0114:
I have had continuous issues with the Droid 3. One of my biggest issues is that the GPS seems completely unstable. I have tried turning on/off GPS options, etc...

Weather I try to use Google Maps or another application such as Endomondo, it cant maintain a lock. It seems to be able to locate me within 12 - 30 feet and then within a mile!!!

Using an application like Endomondo (running, cycling, etc), is completely useless. It can't track my location at all and when it does lock on, it only holds for a few seconds and then gone again.

I took the phone in to Verizon with a complaint about the GPs and screen issues (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239980) and the rep said both were normal for this phone...

Has anyone figured out a way to resolve this problem?
[Motorola Droid 3] eallison978:
I, too, have the same issue with GPS. I use SportyPal Pro, and cannot use my Droid 3 when running/walking. I can go for a 5 mile run, and SportyPal will show I had ran 6 miles. I can run north to south in a straight line, and when finished, SportyPal will show that I went east and west as much as 400-500 feet off of that straight line and because of that can add anywhere from .1 miles to .5 miles to that 1 mile run.

It is so unreliable that I will use my older decommisioned Droid2 to run with. It works perfectly with the same software.

If anybody has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
[Motorola Droid 3] ConfusedDroid:
Sadly, I have the same issues.
[Motorola Droid 3] bishop0114:
Well with only 3 people chiming in, maybe it is bad hardware?
[Motorola Droid 3] ConfusedDroid:
God, I hope not. I have enough problems with this phone as it is.
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
No problems with GPS for me
[Motorola Droid 3] eallison978:
Are you using it for navigation only? Or a similar application for running/walking?

The reason I ask is because I do not notice a problem during navigation. It works great for that without any problems. Until I get to downtown Chicago. I almost expect problems there. Even with my Droid2.
[Motorola Droid 3] dharrington14:
i've only had issues with my gps in areas with lte. when im at college im in a city with lte support and my gps doesn't work (my friend who has an X also has issues with his gps when in areas with lte). when im home where there isnt lte support my gps works fine.
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
No it's not hardware mine works flawlessly and almost instantly fixes position, tho i have modded the gps.conf found in the etc folder. Details for tweaking this for your region can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13537801&postcount=1

Many thanx to 75markus for this.

Since we don't have a recovery yet to flash a zip you will need to edit the gps.conf file manually.

Oceanic region can be found in my sig below apart of my camera mod.

[Motorola Droid 3] WarER4X:
The problem I was having with the GPS from Day 1 is that I would occasionally notice that it would not start up at all when openning a GPS-dependant app (such as Maps or Weatherbug, etc). Whenever that happened, I would have to restart the phone, and then the GPS would be able to initialize again... at least, for a while.

Eventually, I was digging around in the setting and found the "VZW location services" option under "Location & security settings". I unchecked that option and, ever since, I've had no problem with the GPS. It seems that th VZW-based location services were causing the problem. Of course, since then, I've rooted and frozen all of the VZW bloat, so I might be able to turn that option back on with no ill effect. Still, it was as simple enough fix.

My issue might not sound exactly the same as yours, but you could give this a try and see if it helps.

[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
I'm not having any GPS issues on my phone. Perhaps it's based on the area your in?

I know it's satellite but.. just a guess.
[Motorola Droid 3] a_lazy_dude:
I have been experiencing the exact same problem and temporary solution (restarting) since day 1, on both my first and second droid 3's. Difference is, I've had VZW location services unchecked since around the time I first got the phones, and I am still experiencing the problem... even as recently as last night. I just double-checked the setting, and indeed, VZW location services is stil unchecked.

Once I have lock I usually have no problem continuously using GPS. Last night, I tracked a two and a half hour walk using the My Tracks app, including a 45 minute stop for dinner indoors. For the first 10 minutes, it couldnt find a signal, so I restarted. It got a lock almost instantly following the restart and never lost it after that. I had the app running for the whole excursion. As expected, it got a little confused while I was inside, but automatically picked the signal right back up when I got back outside and tracked my entire walk back home.
[Motorola Droid 3] eallison978:
When you look at your walk on the map, is it true to where you actually walked? If I do that same walk on my phone, it will show me deviating off course as much as a 1/2 block and then back. I can tolerate that deviation once and maybe twice during my runs/walks. However, mine does it the majority of the time, adding bogus mileage to my walks/runs. In an hour's time, it will deviate approximately 20-30 times.
[Motorola Droid 3] a_lazy_dude:
Just took a closer look at the track it recorded. I definitely do see these kinds of deviations, but they seem to only be in areas where I think it'd be reasonable to expect them. I live in a suburb, so I don't have any tall building to mess with the GPS reception, instead, I have somewhat steep hillsides. It seems I get a fair amount of deviation in the (significantly) hilly areas (it looks like I was walking down people's driveways, then across their front yards, when in reality I was just walking more or less straight down the sidewalk), but in the flat areas the line has almost no significant deviations, just some minor noise. Next time, at the risk of my fiance calling me a geek, I'll take my Droid 1 along for the trip, and see how the two records compare.
[Motorola Droid 3] eallison978:
I've attached screenshots from two runs. D2 is this morning's run with my Droid 2. It's flawless. D3 is the last run I did with my Droid 3. Looking at it you can understand my disgust with it. Ignore the big missing section from both shots. I wouldn't want anyone knowing the exact location of where I live. Someone might come steal my Droid 3. :D
[Motorola Droid 3] bishop0114:
WOW... That is awful but a great example of the concern with this phone. You are actually doing much better than me. Mine is only able to triangulate down to about 20 feet and then it bounces between 20 and 300 feet!!!

I am going to call VZW today and see about a replacement phone but I doubt it will resolve the problem.
[Motorola Droid 3] bishop0114:
I just called VZW and once again, they said the accuracy was normal... They said none of their phones can lock on with the accuracy I described and if it has, I have been lucky. He said their phones are only accurate within 500 feet!

I explained to him that with that accuracy, it would be totally useless to use as a navigation device...

He looked through their documentation and said he has no record of other people having issues with the GPS... He also said he has no record of the blue tint when taking pictures.....

Oh well. I hope the replacement fixes it...
[Motorola Droid 3] WarER4X:
With that kind of change in accuracy, it seems like it isn't using the GPS as all, but just the cell towers. Is the GPS logo showing in the notification bar when that is happening? If it's there, is it blinking or solid?

-SR-
[Motorola Droid 3] eallison978:
My humble opinion of VZW representatives...they're all full of BS. They're going to tell you what they need to tell you to get your out of the store or off of the phone if you're not buying anything. A representative's main concern is sales. Sell him another phone, renew his contract, add a line, add a feature.

This issue may be better addressed to Motorola directly. I may make that phone call today.
[Motorola Droid 3] eallison978:
I just got off the phone with Motorola tech support. Same story as VZW gives. There are NO known issues with the Droid 3. I asked about the GPS, the bluish pics the cam takes and battery life. The only thing the tech would say is the phone "needs to be evaluated"
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
Haha, maybe you were just drunk when you tested out the Droid 3.:D
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
Wow i've already posted in this very thread how to fix any GPS issues... 'rolls eyes'.

[Motorola Droid 3] bishop0114:
I tried using fasterfix before I posted. I was already set to North America but ran it anyway. Still didnt work.

If you are have manually tweaked the gps.conf file, can you send it over and I will give it a try.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] eallison978:
Why should I have to "tweak" and/or "root" my phone to make it work properly?
[Motorola Droid 3] ubermetroid:
When ever my GPS fails I just hit the GPS widget to turn it off - wait a few seconds - and then turn it back on.

That fixes it.
[Motorola Droid 3] eallison978:
My case is not a matter of the GPS not working, nor is it a case of it not getting a fix or not getting a fix fast enough. It's a matter of accuracy. If I'm walking down a street, it should not show me on the block to the west or walking halfway between two blocks with clear skies and no obstructions.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
call center/help desk people are retarted. I had a chat with motorola but they didn't even know what the XT860 was. Thought it was the motorola triumph
[Motorola Droid 3] bishop0114:
Exactly.... Mine will show me 300 feet to the left of me, then 300 feet to the right... Then not at all and back again...

Turning the GPS off and back on, doesn't fix it.

I've noidea where you live in the US so you will have to figure out the proper NTP server zone yourself from http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/

But you could probably use something like this with a supplementary host from Nokia:

NTP_SERVER=us.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

Restart your phone also once you have edited or copied over the new gps.conf.

Another problem with GPS on D3

Well, after approx. 18 months of use my D3 XT862 I've got 2 problems - bad working keyboard and non-saving photos. First problem was solved by disassemblying and cleaning keyboard's pads, second was solved by flashing repair firmware + updates. After that I've found that GPS doesn't works (previously worked fine). I've diassembled it one more time, found no mechanical damages (but I'm not a specialist in cellphones). Currently, when I'm enabling "standalone gps services", Navitel sees 0 satellites, and there's no GPS icon (looks similar to crosshair). I've been waiting for a long time, got no result. I've flashed 4 different radio modules (2 with editing local.prop), no changes. I've installed GPS Status and Toolbox, after it's launch I can see GPS icon, but still see no satellites. I've tried to clear GPS data/load GPS data in this program, no changes.

I have all the necessary tools include soldering tools, but I know too little about cellphones and GPS.

Any ideas?

After i've researched alot i have to ask in a forum, because i found nearly nothing about my topic.

I want to have a Gameboy/GBC/GBA and NES/SNES Emulator on my Windows Phone 7, that is able to SAVE. I want to play Pokemon so damn hard or Zelda.

The only ones that i found are Wario Jewels (can't get it to work because i don't get the part with the gamelist) and vneslight which i can't install...

Are there other/better emulators ?

- save function should work

I'm testing HTC Sense 3.5 with the rom from capy (RCMix 3D Bliss v1.3) and found this strange bug, I don't know if it related to sense 3.5 or the rom itself.

I have put a pattern lock on my phone, but if I use one of the shortcuts in the lockscreen it will open the app without asking for the pattern lock, and if I close the app I have full access to my phone.

Is this a bug or is there some way to configure this behavior?
