Having some GPS issues... really hard to get a lock after upgrading to 3.3.

Anyone else having this problem? Wondering if I'm going to have to do a full wipe and try again :(
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Please read my post one page back. It is a issue with the baked in kernel and our phone. Please flash another kernel and your issues will be solved.

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] megazac1:
Not so sure about that. I just flashed a different kernel and still can't get a lock.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] surveysays:
anyone else have an issue with the keyboard in the messaging app? sometimes when i start typing nothing shows up on the screen and i have to back out then open the thread again in order for the key presses to actually stick. very weird. starting to happen more and more frequent on my device.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
What kernel?

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
I use Kalimocho kernel and GPS hardly locks.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Odd I have used Trinity and Matr1x with no issues on 3.3 but everyone's phone is different.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] calisoldier83:
Anyway to turn on screen with soft keys when soft keys are activated for message notification?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] allendj81:
Love this rom, super snappy and crisp, everything works flawlessly, no gps issues here. One thing I do miss is the ability to create folders for apps just like the stock ICS launcher (Im aware i can make folders, I just like the stock UI rounded stock folders best). Also it will be nice if the re-sizing widget would be just tap and re-size instead of adjust rows and columns. Im sure there are reasons why you opted for this simple launcher and Im no way criticizing, Im just giving a bit of feedback ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
You can use other launchers with this if you like:D

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] allendj81:
Yeah I figure, but im afraid that by adding a different launcher i would lose some of the crispy snappiness
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
I use nova, because I paid for nova prime and it's mainly on principal, and there's not any noticeable difference.

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] allendj81:
Ill try different launchers and report. I dont want to mess up this rom, its super responsive ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
I use Nova also (the free version). It runs as smooth as the built in launcher. Aside from my GPS issues, this is the best ROM I have ever used!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] megazac1:
I'm using the latest Air Kernel 4.0. I used to have no GPS issues with this ROM, but it just randomly stopped working altogether. I think it was around the time I downloaded and used the app "GPS Status" to remedy my Accelerometer issues. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I did flash a Gingerbread ROM to try and get a GPS lock but no dice there either.

I'm really doubting it's the kernel.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mkpoto:
Thanks, anyone have one they recommend?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] megazac1:
So tried my GPS today, and voila, working now. Go figure.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] WiseManWhite:
I agree, Nova Launcher still allows this ROM to run buttery smooth. Even with a live wallpaper and the cube rotation animation turned on, there's not one ounce of lag.

I fixed my GPS by backing up what I had, flashing back to a stock 2.3.7 nandroid backup, then restoring the new backup. My GPS locks on within 6-8 seconds after starting an app that requires it, then locks on instantly afterwards.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] montblanc09:
I'm having compatibility issues with various apps. I cleared data for Play Store then relaunched it but those apps are still incompatible. Interesting thing is that some other apps have no issue (Dolphin Mini, as an example). Is there another app that I need to clear data as well? Thanks!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] allendj81:
Im using Nova now and I love it! I was missing the ICS touch with the roms stock launcher. Not an ounce of lag :cool:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
How is the battery life with the stock kernel
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Karl:
so you getting a message that says that?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] montblanc09:
Yeah, I'm getting this:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Go into Settings-Apps-find your Google Play app-Open it-Wipe the Cache/Data-Reboot. Should take care of that.

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikegleave13:
Is this compiled from IMM76D? Nice either way.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] montblanc09:
I tried that before, and tried it again. Didn't work... :(

EDIT: I gave up and just wiped everything and reflashed. worked, haha.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
voodoo settings

On 3.3, is there a trick to using the voodoo settings built into the rom? Mine won't stick, no matter what I try ... stock kernal or Air kernal. Did a quick search of the thread, but didn't come up with a solution. Appreciate any help.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
never use it. How are you trying to make it stick
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
By setting, and clicking "ok". The gamma tuning won't even reset to default. Thanks for looking into it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
That particular kernel is based off an older build. The only way to make the colors Stick is to buy voodoo color which is now called voodoo sound in the market place. If you are using Air the only two recent versions of Air that allow for color adjustments that have negative Gama are the most recent one and 3.5 both being the voodoo color versions that say Original.

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
Thanks, Flood ... I'm using the most recent weekly version of Air kernel, so it works fine with the market app. Was just wondering why the built in set up would not work.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Karl:
you shouldnt have to buy the voodoo app for settings to stick
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
You're right ... the free voodoo sound app works fine. Still would like to get the built in rom app to work.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] gulrezm:
i loved everything about this rom but began noticing that battery is inaccurately displayed, for example, it stays at 96 for an hour and then suddenly drops to 82. i was also having clock issues, like the clock was off by 5 or 6 minutes then suddenly caught up when i began playing with the phone. has anyone else been having these two issues and if so, is it kernel related? i am using matrix 19.0 cfs if that matters...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Karl:
try this

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] droblesa:
I'm loving this rom but I am unable to install MLB At Bat 2012. When I try I get "MLB At Bat 12" could not be downloaded due to an error (940).

Is this a problem with the Market.

Unfortunately, this would be a dealbreaker for me. It's baseball season and I gotta have it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] PRBajista:
Did you install the "removed addons. Zip"? That fixes market to allow paid apps to download. Install the zip in clockwork. Its should work from slim 3.2. I would attach it but it's too big to attach. I am running atbat 12 with no issues.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jinsoku3g:
Man if I could get my hot spot to work Itd be tits. Everything else is great
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
This Wi-Fi tether app works fine, and it also allows 4g speeds on the Sprint Nexus.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jinsoku3g:
You are...hero? :)

Ahh problem parsing package?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
OTA Patch: Go to http://slimroms.com for details, info and d/l link
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jjhrrsn:
Thanks :thumbup:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikegleave13:
This runs great. Nice and snappy. I just can't get the battery life I need out of this.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] onigiri1692:
Thanks for the nova recommendation, I absolutely love this launcher, it feels much more Ice Creamy like. Plus I kept having these weird issues with Zeam where the icons would disappear or appear on the wrong app, was kinda annoying.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] calisoldier83:
I'm having issues with Swype and text messages. I'll type the first word and sometimes it won't do anything in the text box. I have exit out of text messaging then try it again. Not sure if it's a ROM issue, but I didn't experience this with stock 4.04
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mkpoto:
If I am running Matrix Kernel, can I go into CWM and install air kernel or do I have to wipe the whole phone again?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
OTA patch info updated here. Read NOTE 2 carefully.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] droblesa:
I installed market updater, unmodified play store and Google partner setup and now the store says at at 12 is not compatible with my device. I even reset the store data.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
if you stay stock 3.3, i see no reason not to work. if you change playstore, you might ahve to change googleservicesframework from gapps as they both go hand in hand.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] droblesa:
I'll back up and start over from a clean 3.3 build and try again.

From stock after wipe of everything I get a 942 error when trying to install at bat. I'm looking for the link to the 3.2 add on pack but can't find it. Can someone lend a hand
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
Just go into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, and flash the new kernel. No need to lose your data.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] WiseManWhite:
Does anyone know what folder that the screen shots are stored in?

Update: Nevermind, found out that it was in sdcard/pictures/screenshots.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Love the new mobile website. Very easy to navigate and the setup is straight forward.

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
you got the OTA patch installed?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jjhrrsn:
I do :thumbup:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] prbassplayer:
Slim 3.4 Release

Check via OTA or site. Slim 3.4 has been released. Please read carefully and enjoy.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] morriscode:
Where can you check for an OTA update?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] prbassplayer:
You need to flash the OTA patch for this device
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Karl:
or just check to site

http://www.slimroms.com/
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] prbassplayer:
As I said...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] michalurban:
Just to make sure - now the OTA ability is integrated in the ROM itself. Or am I wrong?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] DjGeraldo:
Has anyone had a problem with the keyboard not typing in the selected box? It seems to always do it when I receive a new text, but only if I lock the screen while on the conversation. When I unlock to read the text and respond (on the same thread that I locked on) the keyboard will type but not on the screen I'm viewing. So then I have to long press back to kill sms and reopen it to start typing again.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Karl:
yes
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Androidawg:
ROM Updater worked flawlessly this morning and upped me to 3.4. Wish it would have prompted me to select a download directory before dl'ing. Other than that, perfect.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
its there in OTA App -> Settings, you just have to choose it.

btw guys, do hit the thanks button on updates, even if i don't post the update, find one of my posts. cheers
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] darksine:
Yeah I have had it from time to time. Have not been able to replicate it consistently though.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Androidawg:
I can't seem to get the voice input button to show on the keyboard. I have voice search installed. I made sure the show voice input key is enabled in keyboard settings. Any suggestions?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Tenny:
Any comments on GPS with 3.4?

Even after clean wipes 3.3 had gps issues... (2-5 minutes to get a lock vs other roms where it was 5 seconds).

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

I think Slim uses a different voice search / keyboard than others, as I've had this issue also.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] strra:
are you using the preinstalled kernel? i've heard that switching kernels might help this issue
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] onigiri1692:
This is my only gripe about this rom. No matter what I do, flash new kernels, wipes, complete reinstalles, calibrating GPS with GPS stats, clearing GPS data, you name it, nothing seems to fix the GPS problems. As you said locks take 2-5 minutes under optimal conditions (clear sky's, direct line of sight to sky etc). This is really a problem when I am driving around and need a lock immediately to know how to get where I am going. I was previously a devout bugless beast user until I switched to slim, and always got locks in well under a minute.

EDIT: Guys I think I just figured out the problem with the GPS and I am so F'in excited! I believe the problem lies with the 'Minfree task killer' included in ASS, I changed the minimum ram value to 25mb from the default of 50mb and BAMMMM, GPS lock in less then 30 seconds!!! I noticed in a logcat that ram was constantly being freed while the GPS was trying to lock, and I figured that was interrupting the process some how. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you guys.

Edit2: I attached a logcat to this post in case someone wants to take a look at it. In the log there should be an attempt at a GPS lock with minram value set at 50mb and then towards the end of it a GPS lock in less then 30 seconds with a minram value of 25mb. I am now consistently getting super fast GPS locks...so happy.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] allendj81:
Ever since ive started using slim ive always used the stock kernel with no issues at all. Do you guys recommend using a different kernel? if so, what works best for this rom? is it even necessary? thanks:cool:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] smartguy10:
How is battery life with the stock kernel included in this rom
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] calisoldier83:
how did you change this?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] darksine:
Go to the ass in system settings and scroll all the way down to the bottom and select the performance menu. Then scroll to bottom and select the free memory option and set the number you want.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Tenny:
GPS is actually working well for me in 3.4... but I'll do that to see if it helps.

Is tether broken for anyone else though? As soon as I turn tether on it gets disconnected from 3G.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] michael.ahdett:
Flashing now, minimalist ICS sounds perfect to me!

Edit: First impression: holy crap, this is beautiful and snappy, pretty much everything i was looking for that i didn't even know i was looking for!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
You have to re-flash the tether fix (and your kernel of choice) without each version update.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] michalurban:
Is there a way to force sync of my settings and apps? Or, if not, is it safe to save my current setup with titanuim (both apps and system settings) and restore it to a new rom (Im using AOSP+V1 now)?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Aosp v1? Didn't he end on 43? Then no. You need a full wipe and a update for your apps. This is 404 and aosp at v1 wasn't close.

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] gulrezm:
great rom

just wanted to stop by and say this rom is beastly. thank you very much! phone is absolutely lag free and sometimes the speed at which apps switch and load is surprising to me...one change i did was remove zeam launcher and installed trebuchet launcher from vhgomez36 rom thread because i didn't like the way zeam launcher looked (to me the icons on the dock were too low res for my taste). definitely the fastest rom for nexus s 4g out there, also i get a gps lock within 5 seconds and no issues whatsoever.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] noizy1234:
When I run the v6 supercharger script I keep getting bad busy box at the beginning. It only happens with this rom any one know what's wrong?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] prbassplayer:
3. 4?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dirt:
I only restore apps, but it might work. make sure u have a current nandroid, just in case.

aosp+v1 is a 4.0.4 build by androiduser... doubt he's talking about aosp's oics

sent from my dark iced, skanky, t11 infused ns4g
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] noizy1234:
Yeah.. even on the previous ones I haven't been able to get it working
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] noizy1234:
Yeah ... even on the previous ones I haven't been able to get it working
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] prbassplayer:
Try to install busy box if you haven't and try again.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] noizy1234:
I already tried that with busy box installer from the market
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] montblanc09:
Quick question, I'm going from 3.2 to 3.4, is the Removed Addons from 3.2 the latest? Also, do I need to flash the T9Dialer? Thanks!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Androidawg:
The reason I was able to come back to this ROM was because the Email\Exchange support had been returned in version 3.3. I upgraded to 3.4 and just noticed that the Email/Exchange app is gone and my exchange account is no longer listed in the Accounts and Settings. I pulled the removed app.zip and looked through it but I don't see the app. Anyone got a flashable or installable version of this? Thanks.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
install via OTA app. its there.

Edit Post: update OTA app first via market
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] michalurban:
Yeah, I meant AOSP+V1 (see my signature). But still, is there a way to restore my settings? Ive got plenty of wifi hotspots saved in my current rom ...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ircsmith:
had a new issues this weekend. went on a three day hike and am almost certain I turned the phone off before I left. when I got back the phone was dead so I must not have. but my problem is, now that its fully charged all my setting are gone. none of the widgets will load. all the apps are there and will function but its like the phone went back to the original settings of this ROM.

any ideas? will this ROM do this every time I let the phone die?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] protectress:
i flashed a battery that was made for 3.3 I guess, and now i dont have a status bar and get the system ui has stopped working error on startup...

what do? factory reset will fix it?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jjhrrsn:
Either a backup if you have it or re flash rom
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] waqasr:
Hey flood, I am trying those settings now.

I wanted to ask you what LIVE OC values to use

with the settings you mentioned above.

Also I am trying deep idle so what are your thoughts on that?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] WiseManWhite:
Does anyone know how to fix the blurry screen shots that happen when you send one through the stock mms? You have to click the image after you send it in order to see the blurriness.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Tenny:
Are you talking about Peter Alfonso's Tether Fix? It says it's for 2.3.7 only?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
I don't use use live oc or deep idle. Long term I have never had any luck with either. Always caused bootloops at some point. I don't use deep idle as it has no benefit for my personal use. Guess it really just depends on your personal use and what you like. I have given just about everything a shot. As of right now I am still trying different kernels daily trying to find that right balance of speed and battery. As the kernels and roms have become faster, of course, battery has suffered. So my quandary, do I want to go as fast as I can and enjoy the responsiveness every time I open my phone or run a little slower and get better battery? I have been struggling with this for a while and trying everything out there since ICS dropped in November. People that know me, know I have been making myself nutty trying to find that magical combo. No luck yet but I will keep trying because my a.d.d will allow nothing less.

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jjhrrsn:
I am in the same boat currently trying slim with r4 from franco with the tweaked conservative but miss the trinity colors. I've been bouncing between gummy and slim but have tried them all.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
Yes I am. It works just fine on ICS.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Karl:
integrated tether works fine is that what your use the tether fix for or the wifi tether app?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Tenny:
Integrated Tether wouldn't work for me, but with tether fix it seems to be working. We'll see as i'm leaving on travel again. Trip's back to back 4tl.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] michalurban:
Im sorry, I dont want to be a spammer, but how could I restore my settings (especially saved wifis) please?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
titanium backup allows you to backup and restore your wireless info. i use it often (though things did change a bit between gb and ics so keep that in mind...things may break).
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] waqasr:
Bro to be honest with you, I was very happy with my stock Gb2.3.7

I was getting 2+ days with 3 hours talk time. I had no tweaks

or anything installed. Just stock Gb rom. Phone was fast/smooth and

stable. Never had any issues with it. Since I got ICS OTA on my

phone it became slow, unstable and battery life also got bad.

I mostly use the phone for talking, So not much screen time plus

I also turned data off and turned it back on only when needed.

Now i rooted my phone and trying to look for good ICS rom/Kernel

to be where I was with stock Gb.2.3.7 with speed/stability/battery life

but I am failing miserably.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Ya I think we are almost there speed wise but because of ics' pretty interface we are just asking to much from this device. That's why this rom does so well overall, in comparison to what's out. It's lean and stripped down. Just the right amount of features without killing the phone with extra smilies and fluff. Funny you mentioned gb because I have a nice nand that I have been using lately when ics just drives me nuts with the battery. I hope that we will be there someday with the battery but by then I will have a gnex, lol. :D

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] michalurban:
Thanks for the tip, its useful! But the wifi was just an example. I just want to restore my settings without the risk of messing something ... Is there a way to just force the classic ICS after-flash update?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
when I had my nexus s I used to get 7 hours of screen on time in wifi with auto brightness at half way with slim. Just saying
