I haven't tried the .03 libs yet but, with the .30 radio before flashing the .30 libs my GPS lock (at least with Maps) was always off by about half a block or more; I just flashed the .30 libs (and wiped efs) and the lock was within a few feet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] warp2:
for me it helped to change the libhtc_ril.so and the gps.vision.so from a working htc image.

[G2 and Desire Z General] OriginalGabriel:
Curious, how did you pull the files? I downloaded the OTA to pull the files out of the system.img but, all the guides I've come across don't work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] veloz46:
one partner has problems hanging to see if any of this out.

Thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
For what it's worth, currently running fantastic on the .30 radio using the .03 drivers. GPS locks and navigation holds the whole way.
[G2 and Desire Z General] 0.0:
a new T-Mobile OTA radio came out. i will test this out to see if gps works with it on CM 7. if anyone has already tested it out, please tell me! thanks :D

Edit: works good. Didn't cut off GPS in navigation. Only tested for 10min, but usually would cut off in 5min or so
[G2 and Desire Z General] OriginalGabriel:
Which gps.vision.so did you test it with?
[G2 and Desire Z General] 0.0:
tested it with no gsp.vision.so modification. just the stock CM 7 one. it worked. i know with the .30 radio, there were problems with the gps, so i had to flash the gps.vision.so fix. i will try to test it out more when i get the chance, and post back here
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
Appreciate that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tsubus:
tried new radio with .03 libs. works perfectly, not sure about any improvements yet, only tested for 30 min.

Sleep of Death -- GPS driver problem?

Hi members of XDA

I have a htc Desire Z and it suffers the Sleep Of Death issue. I'm looking for this in a lot of forums and i can't get a solution. I concluded that it is a GPS driver problem.

I arrived to this post and i did the following to try solve the issue:

1. Wipe EFS

2. Install from recovery 10.04.03 fix ZIP

3. Wipe EFS again.

I have installed on my desireZ a CM7 v7.1, 12.57.60.25U_26.10.04.12_M radio and 2.3.35.14-cyanogenmod-g95e5cdf1android@portatile#1 kernel.

And the issue of Sleep Of Death persists again. I tested a lot of radio's and roms, and the problem persists.

Some suggestions?

Lot of thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] OriginalGabriel:
What makes you think its a GPS driver problem? A system not being able to wake up is almost always a clockspeed issue.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
As said above, sleep of death is usually caused by underclocking your phone too much. Don't think GPS can cause your device to not wake up.
[G2 and Desire Z General] drogacho:
Hi Gabriel & Nospin,

The "Sleep Of Death" only happens when the phone comes to stand by (and the screen turns off) and the GPS and/or Wifi is on.

I use CM7 v7.1. The CPU clock settings are the default settings of CM7 v7.1.

Now, i'll test on 386Mhz for the lowest speed, 1024Mhz for the highest speed, and the gps on all the time.

Thanks for your answers!
[G2 and Desire Z General] kusuriurikun:
OK, will want more reports (and in the next few days I should hope to get a library package up--having some medical procedures done in the next week or two, so it's going to be a bit sluggish) but I can confirm at least with ILWT CM7 v.238 and the gps.vision.so library it is using with the new T-Mobile radio (12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19) than things ARE behaving very well. :D

Also, for those of you who've reported that GPS may be working with the newest builds of CM7 and the 13.04.19 radio--if you could run a program capable of reading NMEA strings (Turbo GPS or u-center Evaluation from the Android Market, both are free) and report the following:

a) Which nightly build of CM7 you are using (in this case, asking for stock CM7 and ILWT CM7 users only who are NOT applying the "GPS libraries fix")

b) Whether the program you are using is passing NMEA strings (the easiest to troubleshoot on this is Turbo GPS--if it doesn't pass NMEA, the NMEA menu will show a mess of blank envelopes; if it's working properly, you'll see a mess of data with lots of commas).
[G2 and Desire Z General] Buddatearz:
F***ing awesome!!!

After what seem like years of dealing with the same bug over different roms. I can say that this fixed it for me! Nav is one of the features I use most but have come to the point where I don't want to dump cm for the nav bug and just deal. Not anymore! It works!! So happy :) thanks guys for your work. I will try to remember to petition cm also
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
The GPS bug on the Desire Z and CM is horrible. CM7.1 doesn't fix it either (tries to connect but never dos. Just stays flashing)

What are the CM team doing???
[G2 and Desire Z General] dustrho:
I installed the following on my G2 and GPS is working like a champ. Currently running CM 7.1 stable. Took about a minute to acquire the first lock-on, but after that it was working as expected.

GPS = 10.04.03

Radio = 26.13.04.19
[G2 and Desire Z General] hrk:
HTC Desire Z (EUR) with latest radio and CM7.1 (check signature). No gps.so file, clean (stable) CM7.1.

First GPS fix in less than 10 seconds if I'm outside, around 1 minute if I'm inside a building not so distant from a window. Doesn't get a fix if I'm in the subway or inside a big building distant from a window.

Everything works as expected.
[G2 and Desire Z General] WTF?:
the developer of 4EXT is planning to incorporate the EFS wipe as an additional checkbox in the 4EXT Recovery Control program within the next week or so, so that will be one less step (you can skip the separate Vision EFS Wipe tool step)
[G2 and Desire Z General] DerIdiot:
I'm using Turbo GPS 2 (off market), where do I find the NMEA data that is mentioned here?
[G2 and Desire Z General] timhl7:
Go to menu then views the nmea
[G2 and Desire Z General] DerIdiot:
Blank envelopes ahoy! It might be because I am indoors, or have 4 sats locking on, but I'm getting nothing for strings.

Thanks for the tip though, I'll test it later tonight.

-CM 238

-26.08.04.30 Radio

-Pershoot 2.6.35.14 Kernel
[G2 and Desire Z General] hrk:
I get blank envelopes, but I get a GPS fix fairly quickly. I'm wondering if it's caused by WI-FI being active. I'll shut it down and try again getting a fix with GPS only.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bombadier:
Why is that every-time I reboot my phone I have first have to use GPS status to get a lock?I am running ILWT CM7 have matched the rils for the latest radio the 10.04.03 gps.vision.so, got the gps.conf polling uk servers, would love it to work like sense and not have to go through this process every-time I reboot? Plus Turbo GPS says these strings are being passed..... why so long to lock with these cool roms?

EDIT Also the obligatory wipe_efs
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ditamae:
This may not be relevant to you, but a couple months ago the app GPS Status broke my GPS. I read many users with the same or very similar complaints... I ended up uninstalling the app (I use the U-center now), and flashing the EFS wipe. That seemed to fix it. I can't recall what thread it was, but I remember reading page after page of similar reports with regard to GPS Status. I've stayed away from it ever since and haven't had a problem.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bombadier:
You could be onto something here,just uninstalled GPS Status,didnt do wiipe the EFS, rebooted and got a lock in seconds then rebooted again and lock in seconds, will test further but seems to be working,cheers buddy:)
[G2 and Desire Z General] narutodc:
I have same issue, tried with different setting on CPU but not success. At first I didn't suspect GPS since it happend event when GPS is off. But I read some where, they say that as long as you don't turn on GPS at all, it should be fine. It work for me, no more sleep of death. But kind of annoying if everytime use GPS, I need to reboot my phone (yes, manually reboot) to prevent unexpected SOD. Cyanogenmod 7.1
[G2 and Desire Z General] dravenkill:
a question, if i backup my rom via rom manager after i update this gps.vision. will it be included along in the backup?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ditamae:
You mean will your GPS drivers be part of a NANDroid backup via ClockworkMod? Uhm, yeah. Those files will be part of the backup.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hrk:
I confirm GPS fix in 10 seconds w/o WIFI enabled, w/ CM7.1+latest radio, no RIL matcher or anything else.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DerIdiot:
Hey all, checking back in. I applied gps.vision.10.04.03.update.zip to my CM7 nightly 238 (10-23-2011), Pershoot 2.6.35.14, Radio 26.13.04.19. Prior to installing the gps.vision.so update, I was getting straight envelopes in Turbo GPS 2, now I am getting GPS data strings.

Confirmed fix! :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] TrueYears:
where can I find gps.vision.10.04.03.update.zip?

Nevermind, found it!
[G2 and Desire Z General] bombadier:
EDIT problem was wrong settings in the gps.conf file, ignore.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Selmak:
Thank you for posting this tutorial. After updating my radio to 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19, and RIL matching I applied your gps.vision.so fix as well. So far everything seems to be working much better.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingston73:
I'm using mexdroid v0.1, in order to get GPS lock I was having to open navigation, wait fir it to find GPS, and then I could use another GPS app like endomondo. Navigation would hold a signal once it finally locked but it took a long time. I flashed the 04.19 radio and that helped my reception but didn't change GPS. I just flashed the wipe and the recommended update file and it seems to be working. I did not do anything with matching rils.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
I'm an idiot.

how can I get GPS? I'm running stock cm7.1 on a usa T-Mobile G2. what exactly must I do? this is overwhelming for a novice like myself.

also... when I do a fresh install of cm7.1 GPS works great! the first time..... then the functionally goes away for good. :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingston73:
Just follow the directions step by step in the first post. If you are able to flash cm7 you are able to change your radio, the biggest thing with changing the radio is remembering to delete the renamed "update" file after you flash and before you reboot your phone.

Updating the gps file is even easier. I didn't match RILs (still don't really even understand that) but updating the radio and gps worked for me. From what I understand it's really an individual thing, not everything works on every phone so yours might not get the same results as mine but it's still worth trying.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
ok thanks for the vote of confidence... can this only be done via adb? or can I do this solely on my phone. I've managed to root and flash cm to three phones and my Touchpad all without having to use/learn adb lol. I was hoping to keep that trend going.

I was gonna wait for cm to fix it but I'm guessing they're focusing more on cm9
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingston73:
I only used my desktop to transfer the radio and gps files over to my sd card, but you don't even need to do that. Everything else once the files are on your sd card can be done with just your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Ok thanks, but how would I delete the renamed update file after flashing but prior to booting? With my computer? Recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingston73:
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, I just did this last week so I think this is correct:

Using the directions in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970809

when you flash the update file pc10img it'll flash the new radio and reboot your phone. Once you're back in your phone and everything is booted you need to go to the SD card and delete or rename the radio file before you reboot your phone again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] OriginalGabriel:
If you were trying to update your radio, that was the correct procedure.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ditamae:
Don't forget to wipe EFS data after flashing a new radio. This appears to be essential for those of us with GPS issues... if you're using 4EXT Recovery, there's an option within the app, or the zip file can be found here.

Also, after you flash, reboot and attempt to test out your GPS, don't worry if it takes several minutes to lock initially. In my experience it's best to test it outside. The first lock after wiping EFS data takes the longest. After that it's a matter of seconds. Good luck.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
UPDATE!

I did absolutely nothing.

The new Google Maps update miraculously fixed this for me.

I couldn't believe it. I opened Maps and saw it had automatically updated, I was looking for a Sushi restaurant. So I hit "Directions" to get the address, and for the hell of it I hit navigate... INSTANTLY got a signal and verbally told me how to get there. Then I ate. Rebooted. Tried to navigate home and it worked again.

This is something that I have tried over WEEKS since the 7.1 update and it worked literally ONE time (directly after a clean install.) Now it works exactly as it used to on stock and CM 7. WTF! How could the updated maps fix this?

Again.. I didn't flash anything.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tankslappa:
Superb, many thanks. Fixed my Desire Z issue.

Phone was working with standard HTC gingerbread. Reset it the other night, followed the Cyanogenmod rooting steps (which involves going back to Froyo to exploit it). Installed CM7.1.0 stable... Then yesterday I tried to use Google navigation and it wouldn't lock. Just said "waiting for gps".

The icon wasn't appearing at the top of the screen. Google search sent me here and I started testing. Turbo GPS showed nothing, not even empty strings.

Just for your info, my phone had 26.03.02.18 Radio. I used EFS wipe, then replaced radio with 26.10.04.03, EFS wipe again (no RIL matching - don't even know what that is!).

After that the icon appeared, and Turbo GPS was showing empty strings. Progress!

Installed the gps.vision 10.04.03 and now the NMEA strings are appearing. It took a bit of time to get an initial lock (bit cold standing outside), but now it seems to be working. Google Navigation gets a lock and is speaking to me again!

So once again, many thanks for your step by step guide. My phone is now "smart" again :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] sumean:
Have to share my experience, I first purchased my phone in the USA and I cant remember what rom it had...though it was rooted and probably had some version of Froyo. At that time gps was definitely working since I used it a few times to get around MIA.

So on my return home (the Caribbean) I switched back to one of my fave CM roms and somewhere along the line my gps started misbehaving. So I dont use it much at home but when I wanted to it never worked. I finally started investigating and after alot of research I started finding threads on xda related to the issue.

Okay so long story short I've tried the EFS wipes, upgrading radios, different cm builds, nothing worked and my good old G1 would acquire gps in seconds from inside my house, in my office building..didn't matter. Finally I saw a few threads that had people with DHDs replacing their GPS antennas but no research lead me to the location in our DZ. Anyways, I hit youtube and did a minor disassembly and tried running the phone with it partially disassembled..still no GPS signal.

However, I noticed along the inside of the rear housing there were a about 3 gold contact strips which corresponded to parts on the circuit board. I ruled out what looked like contacts for the battery and realised they had a couple gold leaf springs on the circuit board. They looked a little depressed so I figured they weren't making sufficient contact to the strips on the rear housing so I carefully prised them upwards, reassembled the phone so full contact would be made and voila...my gps is working with acquisition in seconds.

Now obviously the cm issue needed resolution but my problem was ALSO apparently hardware. So those of you like me who were stillllll being fustrated I would suggest you try my little fix and see if it makes any difference to your experience. For dis assembly help try this youtube link...

[G2 and Desire Z General] x-plosive:
GPS issues resolved

Running Cyanogenmod 7.1 on my Desire Z (S-ON/Unlocked) I lost my GPS signal every couple of minutes while navigating.

Running original radio 26.10.04.03 I applied the gps.vision.10.04.03.update.zip

Where it first took up to approx a minute to get a GPS fix, it does it now in 5 to 10 second.

Used navigation last night for an hour and half an hour this morning, never lost the signal!

Thank you very much for researching this GPS problem and creating the workaround :D

Need Help

I'm getting ready to flash this rom now. BUt I've noticed that the last several times I've flashed roms, the themes and etc didn't update to my phone. After I reboot, the last home screen and wallpaper I had on the previous rom is still there. I've used Xron format all and I've also tried just doing a full wipe. Neither of which seems to be working. I have my apps backed up to google and they restore once I log back into the market. Is that causing the problem?
[HTC EVO 3D] XsMagical:
After you flash a rom, dont sign into google. Run the setup and then add your google account. Its google that is backing up your old wallpaper.
[HTC EVO 3D] shaun0207:
So go the thru the setup but dont log into any anything, like email account, google , etc? So do I need to reboot after that and then log in?
[HTC EVO 3D] XsMagical:
you don't have to reboot, you can setup the account after setup via settings>accounts

Tried that. Didn't log into anything and now it brings up the background that originally came on the 3D. Can you post the background image for me?

Very snappy ROM . Good job. Only complaint I have is the crt animation is Xtremely slow
[HTC EVO 3D] :
So far this Rom runs the the on my 3d.I got hboot 1.50 an all the other Roms constantly freeze then I would have to pull the battery..so far haven't had to do that on this ROM.an I did notice this Rom seems to run very smooth...keep up the good work man....
[HTC EVO 3D] XsMagical:
I'm glad to hear its running great on hboot 1.5, i was wondering about that. Did you use the kernel that came with the rom or stock kernel?
[HTC EVO 3D] todah09:
Why is nobody talking about this ROM....this is Awesome!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] GGerk:
I love this ROM, only complaint for me is its hard to see the 3g icon in the notification bar
[HTC EVO 3D] Jabawockee:
I'm liking this ROM. Cool icons in status bar, runs smooth with chad's kernel. Cpu cores runs properly #1 core on and #2 core idling and activated when needed. Only minor drawback is my speaker sounds weak even after I installed DSP manager and adjusted settings. I'll most def be using this ROM for awhile. Good work NOCTURNAL TEAM!!!

I'm also on hboot 1.5 htc unlock!
[HTC EVO 3D] slaakker:
I think the reason no one US talking about this Rom is because it works. I just changed to a Christmas themed rom but as soon as Christmas is over, I'll be back. Love this Rom.

I am running this with anthrax rls stock clocked at 1.51 max and 384 low hitting 3700's on quadrant, and running smoother then any other combination I have tried.

Thanks for the awesome work
[HTC EVO 3D] XsMagical:
I think it has more to do with the name, it isnt eye catching lol. Maybe I'll have to rename it
[HTC EVO 3D] droidiac13:
Yes, you need a catchy name like, Droidiac13 Rocks the EVO 3D. Or anything with Droidiac13 in it. Wait, I take that back because you would use it in a negative way. LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] cruecu:
i'll agree with everyone else..i did my rom buffet sampling over the last few days and this has been been the only fast rom that hasn't given me any freezes or reboots. I'm on hboot 1.5 with the default kernel. I'm at 20 hours 18 min so far, awake time about 6 hours...42% battery left...been on wifi the whole time though..3 hours of display time..that's the one that makes me the most happy...if i squeeze almost 6 hours of display time on the standard battery, I'm sold. I appreciate the effort to make this rom smooth and fast.

One question..my volume keys wake up the phone even though it isn't checked under the tweaks section. any fix for this?
[HTC EVO 3D] GGerk:
still running like a beast awesome rom, if you havent tried it, you are surely missing it, not one hiccup running stock anthrax kernel, deadly combination
