Only other thing I can suggest is a full clean wipe without anything else installed (no data, apps or any backups restored .. install Inspiremod if on inspire) and see if it happens on a clean install. If it continues then I'll need a logcat log of the issue posted on the issue tracker (stuff gets buried here and most of the time I forget when its not on the Issue Tracker.. But other than when the inbox limit gets full I have no issues with notifications, so I'm thinking its something on your end... either it be a specific app causing issues, if you restored any kind of data that might cause issues...etc.

Apn settings

Was my first thought too, Its the same apn I always use when flash a new Rom. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
If it still continues after a clean install with nothing else installed I'll need a logcat log of the issue posted on issue tracker...but its going to be something device/carrier specific as MMS and data works completely fine for me and some others ...Its also possible its simply a network issue, that does happen from time to time
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
Congrats on getting this ROM to milestone release quality Rob.

Keep up the good work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9m2bal:
Good job exists. OTA updater works fine for me with no issue. Now running MR1. This just another great rom from exists.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hamurabi1:
I'm having the same problem here. My mms doesn't work. Have this problem only on ICS and Jelly bean ROMS.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sarichter:
I'm still surprised people still us MMS anymore. Facebook and email seem to be so pervasive... didn't think picture messaging was even needed!
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Check the apn for your carrier
[HTC Inspire 4G] snak3ater:
After flashing MR1,on my first cycle i faced a huge battery drain.got a screen time of just 2hrs.checked it and found out audiout_1 partial wakelock always making the phone awake.today i charged it again.hope to see better battery after a few more full charges.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Youngunn2008:
I'd rather send a picture text than email someone, but that's just me. Also I hate Facebook lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tedrogers61:
My ISP stopped supporting MMS directly to phones some time ago...now they send you an SMS with a code / link to go to in order to see the MMS.

My more f**k-head mates love to wind me up by sending me loads of MMS messages, all of which I have a code / link provided over SMS which I can't resist checking out. This is a proper nuisance! :silly:

Gotta love mates! Idiots...lovely idiots.:good:
[HTC Inspire 4G] SupremeBeaver:
I managed to get round to flashing the latest update today. Great stuff Existz, no bugs encountered so far. But that's no surprise since i didnt experience any bugs in the previous version anyway!

GPS

Using an Inspire 4G with Milestone Release one. As far as gps lock issues go, I have encountered the same problem with the stable release of Cyanogen Mod 7.1 so I know it isnt ROM specific, but someone might get an idea of whats going on. After enabling GPS it takes forever to lock. But say I am in google maps waiting for lock. Once I turn off the GPS and exit Google maps, then turn gps back on and return to google maps I get instant lock.

This ROM is a blast though. Stable fast and I have not come across any bugs yet. I am running GO launcher with Jelly Bean theme on top and everything works fine. Didnt get a chance to check bluetooth connectivity yet.

Thanks for saving my inspire!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Matt James:
Chiming back in. My texts were fine so it wasnt the APN, I just wasnt getting the notifications for them. I decided to randomly clear dalvik and the cache (obviously that should be fresh since I did a full wipe right before installing the ROM) but that seemed to fix, oddly enough, the problem with notifications not showing up.

As for GPS I'm still having a problem getting a lock. I'll try letting it run longer but so far I've let it sit for about 5 mins, if not a bit more, and still no lock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
For those that post issues on the Issue Tracker, the questions asked are there for a reason...its info that I need to know. Without answering each question as detailed as possible and without posting a logcat log or dmesg of the issue, there's nothing I can do (more importantly, nothing I WILL do) so I will discard/ignore the ticket.

I don't mean to be an ass about this, but without all the info my guess is usually as good as yours. The source is roughly 1gb total, so thats a lot of files/text to dig through trying to figure out just " XXXX does not work"... without knowing what's causing the issue, how to trigger the issue, etc etc , its a lot of guessing on my end and usually leads no where. Granted some stuff is self explanatory , but most of the time its not. Debug logs usually provide an insight on what's erroring out and to why its erroring out, so it at least points me in the right direction to start looking for issues. Also being detailed as possible helps me to know what circumstances the issue happens under, and helps me be able to trigger the issue myself so I can troubleshoot it...and possibly fix it. So please answer the questions just like you would want someone answering them for you..
[HTC Inspire 4G] WordsworthESP:
Download GPS Status and run before opening Maps, go to Tools > Manage AGPS State > Reset. Then go back to Tools > Manage AGPS State > Download.

Give it a few minutes and it will show you what satellites the device located and fixes on. Once you fix on 5+ satellites open Maps and voila, navigation.

GPS Status is pretty much a must-have app. It's great.

Sent from my Inspire 4G w/codefireX
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I fired up gps status while warming up my car like always, locked to nine satellites and an accuracy of ten feet in about 30 seconds, first fix since flashing mr1. I didn't flash any gps zips or mess with anything. I don't know why some people have problems with their gps. I had problems with cm7 gps off and on for my entire time on cm7 and it's derivative roms. I haven't had that issue here. I drove around for about half an hour, was accurate to within a couple of lanes, but in two lane residential it read driving on the sidewalk and mowing down pedestrians at 2am but that's normal for my inspire. Thank you existz.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wrenhal:
Do you use the basic info in settings, or are you using an app?
[HTC Inspire 4G] chrisz5z:
If its an issue with every rom maybe you should try fixing your GPS contacts on the back of your phone to make sure they are making good connection. When you pry the small back panel off there will be to pins sticking up off the motherboard, just bend them up more so they will make better connection, then snap the panel back on. I went from 5-10 min lock to 5-30 sec lock, depending on my location of course

GPS Issues

I performed a complete wipe of my device (cache, dalvik), flashed MR1, followed by inspiremod.

Here are my issues:

Issue 1: There are times when there is no GPS lock (this is despite existz reverting back to the old gps spade file on MR1). I know there should be no issues with a lock because my Nexus 7 and my friend's Android phone (HTC with a custom ROM) get a GPS lock in less than 20 seconds.

Issue 2: I have to keep flashing the 2.50 library file via recovery that was on google code. Even then, that helps for only a few runs of Google Navigation. When I'm stuck with "waiting for location" on the Navigation app, I checked the status of locked satellites with GPS Status and Toolbox for about 15 minutes - there was NO lock.

Issue 3: The voice of the lady dictating the turn-by-turn directions changes from the GB voice to the ICS voice intermittently, lol. I think this has to do with the use of the old gps spade file.

Any help is appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
If that is all you wiped then you did a dirty flash. You need to select the options in recovery wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik, format system and wipe boot partition then flash Rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mu3g:
*facepalm* - I'm an idiot. This is what happens when you spend 14 hours in a high-tech environment and then have to work on technology as passion after that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
The GPS lib has no control over the GB/ICS voice, so definitely something else going on there..But as mentioned above, make sure to wipe data/factory reset, install rom (also install Inspiremod if on an Inspire, this is required).. and see if the issue still happens...Also do not restore any backups, apps, data..etc. But as far as actual GPS goes, there's really not much else I can do, as it actually does work (works fine for me and others)..Usually the way it goes is if its an actual 100% rom issue then it happens to everyone ...if not, then there's something else triggering it and I need to know what that something else is. But with GPS, if there's any issues then its going to be user/device specific.., either it be the gps.conf is not configured properly for your area, or it be a hardware issue, or something else interfering with it...etc..etc
[HTC Inspire 4G] mu3g:
I did not restore any apps from any backup. I installed all my apps fresh from the play store.

I had my messages restored from an app that keeps my messages on their server (mysms app).

My contacts with phone numbers are on Google (so they get automatically synced).

I did flash Inspiremod correctly. I removed the cover on my device as well.

I will perform a full wipe after work tonight.
[HTC Inspire 4G] snak3ater:
My battery problem is solved now..Back to normal :good:

Thanks Existz :)

Now i am facing another issue..Message notifications are disabled for some reason.Ive checked every possible option to turn it on but still sometimes i get notifications and most of the time i dont..only 1/20 times i get notification.

I have checked the Aospx issues and found one related to my problem..

PS->Notifications seems to be perfect after my first boot.this issue appears after i install some Apps.

Ive taken Logcat and ill soon post it.But first ill be checking which App is causing this issue.For that now ive done a full wipe and waiting for that issue tp appear without installing any other App..

[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Try clearing cache/dalvik cache from recovery (even if you already have)...there was another user having same issue but after clearing both it resolved the issue. If it still continues then go ahead and do the full wipe, with nothing installed, restored...etc..just see if it happens the way the rom comes 100% stock after a clean wipe. If so then go ahead and get a logcat on the clean install and post a new issue on the tracker. I text quite a bit (around 300+ a day) and notifications work fine ...unless my inbox reaches the max limit (500 by default) then sometimes I don't get a notification, but clearing them out fixes it until it reaches Max limit again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] snak3ater:
Yes..I did full wipe just now and waited for the issue to show again on 100% stock .Did not install any app..Notifications worked fine for like 5 or 6 messages.After that notifications got disabled..i already had cleared the cache/dalvik cache..

Now i have cleared the cache again and notifications have started to work again..

Thanks Existz..If this issue show up again,ill post a new issue on tracker with logcat
[HTC Inspire 4G] Shimmty:
performance

Existz, I think the last couple of ROMs could have been MR's

I always keep coming back to your ROMs cause they're the best :good:

2 questions:

1- why don't you post in the Desire HD section

2- what do people get in the quadrant test?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
1) Mainly because even though this rom is for DHD and Inspire, the main site for this rom is on GoogleCode, this thread was originally just for development purposes when we first started porting ICS...and since I only have the Inspire, i just posted here because Im unable to test things on the DHD (even though they are 99% the same, some stuff is different). Plus its hard enough to get users here to follow the rules for posting issues on the Issue Tracker, let alone all the users if it was posted in the DHD section... Just look at LordClockans thread, 95% of the posts there are useless, repeated page after page. So id just be monitoring another thread trying to get them to post on GoogleCode

2) Im not sure about Quadrant, as its very unreliable and the smallest things can alter its scores (I usually get 1000-1500 point difference with back-to-back runs, so its a little inaccurate IMO... But I only use Antutu which I get around 36xx @ 1ghz., 0xdroid VM test I get 40xx-41xx.. those 2 benchmarks seem to give the most accurate results when benchmarking. Also Vellamo is real good when testing browser/webkit stuff... I know this didnt really answer your question lol, but figured id post it anyways.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sarichter:
existz,

Do you develop ROMs for any other devices (or just the Inspire 4g because you have one)? Do you think you will start on a jelly bean version in the future? Not asking for any ETAs, just curious because there are a few JB ROMs that exist for this device but with quite a bit of non-working hardware.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
As of here lately I just work on the Inspire, I was working on the Captivate and Galaxy Tab 10.1 but I quit developing those after all the time I was starting to put into this rom. As for JB, maybe at some point...but idk yet. I might start collaborating with SynergyDev on JB later, but right now I barely have time to work on this (which I want to get a stable release out before I abandon it...there's still a lot of stuff left I want to do with ICS).. let alone starting a new ground up build from scratch. Because if I do a JB rom by myself it will be a pure AOSP build, not built from CM source like all the other JB roms.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sarichter:
Nice... I prefer the pure AOSP builds. I do like the Sense overlay (like on my One X), but pure AOSP is just so smooth and easy to get around on. Thanks for your hard work on these ROMs. Perhaps Key Lime Pie will be out before you ever get to Jelly Bean!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Shimmty:
Is the Inspire your fav phone, cause it seems like you've had it forever :D

What do you plan on getting for your next phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
I wouldn't say favorite, its just here lately I haven't been able to upgrade...but my next device will def be an AOSP device, either Galaxy Nexus or next Google flagship .. I'm done working with Sense, TouchWiz based devices. I'd like to be able to just download and compile the source as is and it work...without having to modify/hack..etc just to get basic things to work. That way I'm able to actually spend my time optimizing things and actually improving things instead of just getting BT to work, or whatever it may be. Plus the Nexus S is still getting official JB releases, so the Galaxy Nexus should be supported by Google for awhile...IMO vendors should stick to just making hardware and leave the OS the way Google intended.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I second the above poster's secondary question. You, existz, are a wonderful developer. You are skilled, patient, and kind. Also, not only are you from 'murica, but also a fellow SEC state. Your next device choice will weigh heavily on mine, good sir.

Hi existz

Bluetooth issue is still here. Paired my stereo headset with phone and turned on music. It was ok. Then I plug in headset to ac adapter and connection was lost. After full charge I turned it on and continued to listen the music but there was no any audio. I could stop and play again but with no audio, also the speed of track playing was twice slow as normal. I turned off and on BT and issue gone. Tried to do the same steps to reproduce the issue but failed. Any advice?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ai6908:
You have any app installed, that might conflict with message notification?
[HTC Inspire 4G] snak3ater:
I also thought the same but then i did full wipe to check this issue.

I am facing this problem even after full wipe,100% stock with no apps installed.that's why i can't do anything to stop it
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Do me a favor and try one more small thing, try going to Settings-Sound and try a different notification ringtone This is the only thing I've done different, and have no issues .. I use "don't panic" for notification ringtone
[HTC Inspire 4G] snak3ater:
Thanks Existz for responding..:good:

Yes..i did change my ringtone to 'don't panic'..Still not getting notifications.

I did a simple experiment just now..

Deleted the 'Mms.apk' file from MR1's ---> system/app,

Extracted the 'Mms.apk' from BR7 and installed it in MR1..

Notifications are now working fine :eek:

Sent around 20 messages to myself and got notification ie ringtone and Led Blinking each time.

Its confusing.Why is that the problem got solved just by using the BR7's 'Mms.apk' file.I did full wipe 4 times but still it could not solve my problem.

Why is it only me having this problem..did full wipe and on a clean rom,still i had this issue.strange :mad:
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
There was 1 change to the Mms app in MR1 in regard to notifications, so make sure its not a part of this commit..."Remove message notification while in conversation ui".. When testing to see if notifications work, make sure you are exiting all the way out of the app before the new msg comes in.

https://github.com/aospX/platform_packages_apps_Mms/commit/4356747cdebab17d31b4737832007ad1d93dfdb5
[HTC Inspire 4G] snak3ater:
Ohh..Just checked LorD ClockaN's icecold thread..

Alot of people have this issue but nobody bothered answering how to fix it

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

I send a message then suddenly i press back key till i reach the home screen.Then i press the power button and wait for the notification while phone asleep.I did it to get out of conversation ui as fast i could but still had issues
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Ok, atleast I know now where the problem is coming from... ill get you a new test Mms.apk to test shortly if you dont care.
[HTC Inspire 4G] snak3ater:
Yes sure why not...

Thanks alot for caring this much
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Thanks...Ill get it posted here shortly... But I can't stand bugs lol, or leaving something unfinished, especially right after a new release.

EDIT:

I uploaded a test Mms.apk to the Issue Tracker, just push to /system/app/ and make sure permissions are correct. If this doesnt work then ill get another test Mms.apk for you to try

With AOSP it seems only A/B/G is supported. And FYI for future reference, theres nothing I can do without a logcat log of the issue. But this really isnt an issue, its just not supported by default...but ill look into it

[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
AOSP might merely be 802.11G, but on CM7 and it's derivatives I managed ~30mbps down and saturating my upload (12-15mbps) over wifi, but on all the ICS and JB roms and the stock Sense AT&T roms only managed ~12mbps down and 12 up. However, this ROM with the latest AT&T radio have returned me to 30mbps down.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rapscallion16:
I'm not able to search since it's down, so I don't know if this has been addressed before, but everytime I attach a USB-OTG cable, it opens car mode, and doesn't recognize a USB drive or anything. It just thinks it was connected to a car. Is this normal? If so, is there a way to change it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
AFAIK otg hasn't ever really worked on dhd, but I think I read about some progress a few weeks ago. They were talking about needing a y cable to supply the 5v to the usb device since the dhd can't output half an amp from the micro usb. However, I could be confusing it with one xl otg development. I do know for a fact that pacha tried to get otg working here a while ago, but once again he promised much and delivered little.

Radio

I literall live 1/2 mile away from a cell phone tower, and there are no tall buildings in the way. I always get 4 or 5(on sense roms) bars, but for some reason, my signal keeps dropping down to 1 or 2 bars. Will the newer radio that was released help fix this problem?
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
There isn't a way to tell what might help you, just beware that radio frequency propagation is, well, wildly erratic. I personally use the new AT&T radio and it works just fine and dandy, but then again so do all the other radios.

Instructions are there.

You can head over the desire hd forum and check the radio thread on that side, xeleth wrote an easily understandable guide on how to flash radios.

Not sure if my signature shows up. If it does, hit the link and in either the second or third post you'll find a link to xeleth's guide/explanation in case you don't understand the instructions from the radio thread.
