I'm still on the Nov 2 build with the update from Nov 7. Since I updated to these 2ndboot builds, my GPS has not worked. It can never get a fix.

This doesn't fix it:

Go to Settings -> Location services, uncheck and re-check "Google's location service"

I've reset a-gps state and re-downloaded a-gps data using GPS Status, but still no love.

Anyone have any ideas that I could try out? Screenshot of GPS Status is attached.

Thanks!

Edit To Add: Doesn't seem to have helped. I downloaded GPS Fix () and it's been "fixing" for about 5 minutes. I also made sure to reboot after modifying /system/etc/gps.conf. And I'm not indoors, was standing outside in the middle of nowhere (literally).

I see I have a /etc/gps.conf as well as /system/etc/gps.conf. Should I change /etc/gps.conf to match /system/etc/gps.conf?

@ciogs you did everything that's on the first post so you flashed it correctly no problem. Try to reboot it and check if it goes away, also do the wipe cache/dalvik after flashing (in this case right now). Hope i helped

Actually I did realize that entering to the CPU Settings in the Boot, and changing ENABLE ALL MODULES from DISABLE to ENABLE, and then SAVE, ( and I think all the following is useless but in my case I change the vsel settings for some more-safe settings: 33 for 300, 58 for 800 and 68 for 1000, and after that, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and fix permissions) and then REBOOT, its working incredibly fast and smooth!! I think more than CM7 :D Sorry for not being able to compare with CM9, I never used. And I prefered just trying CM10.

My Defy has retired. I bought a Razr HD last week, and while still on 4.0.4, it's noticeably faster and smoother than my Defy ever was. Quarx has done an amazing job keeping the Defy alive, but mine was reaching the end of its usability for me: small screen, poor battery performance and no LTE being the primary issues.

I am waiting for the 4.1 official release for Rogers, and then may explore CM10 again if/when it becomes available for the Razr HD.

[Defy General] vap_66:
I've noticed a ~5 second lag when turning on the LED (as a flashlight). This happens in the Torch app, the notification bar shortcut and when using a button as a shortcut in the lockscreen. It only happens the first time when starting the flashlight, after that it reacts normally (instantly). But the issue appears again after 15 minutes or more of not using the phone. It's been like this since the 2nd of november, and it's present in the latest build too (9th of november). MB525, SOC module.

Anyone else confirming the lag in flashlight operation?

Trimis de pe ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
[Defy General] disadjusted:
Yes and this occurs also with camera app. Indeed there are many lags with launching apps for the first time after they went out of memory. Under (for me) non reproducible conditions there are sometimes no lags but this is more an exception than the usual way...

Would be glad for any (easy) advices concerning this behaviour...

An example for a really easy advice is how to reduce the battery drain of 2nd boot builds: it turns out that switching baseband is enough. Before 3-4%/h, after ~1%/h. Never thought that the solution would be so easy.
[Defy General] Sleepy!:
Dude I've been whining about this issue for a long time.

Every time I'd post saying I had lags, some other member would reply saying they had no lags, and no one would come forward with any viable suggestions for this problem...

Please let me know if you figure something out.
[Defy General] vap_66:
No unusual lags here, only the flashlight issue. And that happens only when started for the first time in a while. Otherwise, the latest build is the fastest until now :D.

Very good battery usage and bad at the same time (quarkx 02/11)

Very good battery usage and bad at the same time (quarkx 02/11)

Summary:

At home I have a good battery lifetime with Quarkx CM10 releases since August. During the night about 5% loss, Wifi off, 2G.

When I installed 1102 and got to work battery became warm and lost 60% in 5 hours.

As this is my work phone I immediately restored my 0924 backup, everything fine again.

In general: When looking at the 'battery drain' case also take into account external circumstances, see below.

Details:

At work we have indoor antenna's to compensate for the bad reception in this building (provider of the indoor reception is KPN). I assume that my phone constantly switches between 2G (indoor with good reception) and 3G (outdoor with bad reception) and gives problems with my Defy+.

I loose signal when I set my Defy+ to 3G preference. At 2G only no problems (24/09 as no full test yet possible with a 2ndinit build).

I hope the above is not because of a hardware issue in the Defy(+) as other fellow workers with different Android devices do not have these problems. Two other fellow workers with the same Defy+ but with stock firmware have since a while similar problems. They get the Red cross on their Defy+ and loose signal: reboot (They are still at stock build).

My wifes Defy also has the 'red cross' problem and needs to reboot to solve it, stock firmware. Migrated here Defy to 07/11 last Friday, see what happens.

Just installed 09/11 today and works fine sofar (at home). We'll see at work on monday.

Have installed Llama which logs GSM mast id's and installed reboot logger. May the start of battery drain or signal loss happens when switching masts.

With 24/09 set at 2G only I have no problems with battery drain or signal loss. No reboot of lost signal for weeks!

Tried several basebands, no solution. See my other related old post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1876541

Observation of the 09/11 release:

With all upgrades so far I lost the homescreen icon for EasyProfiles but Easyprofiles always worked after putting the icon back. With 1109 I had to delete the data of EasyProfiles to get it to work. Lucky I had a backup of the settings.

UPDATED experience and problems with CMX 0911

I have installed CMX 0211 on top of MS2Ginger, with a full data/cache/dalvik wipe.

I have since done a full wipe again when flashing 0911 and checked all issues below again.

Button backlight

SOLVED - button backlight changing finally works

ext4

After a full backup I tried formatting system and data to ext4 from recovery, but restore did not work after that (some mount problem).

So I reformatted ext3, restore still only partially worked (system no, data yes). Then I did a full wipe, reflashed CMX and restored data.

Any idea how to properly switch system and data to ext4?

Battery consumption

- battery consumption is still much higher than MS2Ginger (I'm using the same vsels and freqs)

- especially when using apps/screen is on, but standby (with wi-fi on) is using more power then MS2Ginger

Will try to flash MS2Ginger battd files and report back... anyone else tried them with CMX?

Lots of lags

- launcher and app switching becomes laggy after some time, maybe better than 0211 (need more time to check)

- phone/dialer app still doesn't get cached, almost always slow to start up and start using

- Swiftkey service seems to be running, but also very slow to appear every time

Phone and Wi-fi

- calls sometimes get disconnected for no apparent reason

- wi-fi tethering does not work (Wireless Tether from Play store works)

App problems

- compass calibration does not work (never turns green), although compass seems to function ok

- proximity sensor still does not work with Viber (it did work on MS2Ginger from Viber 2.2.1)

- Chrome is very laggy, unusable

- Browser force closes a lot with big web pages (try loading http://index.hu/?teljes and zoom around, press back, etc.)

It looks like memory is not enough for a Jelly Bean system, even though Settings/Apps shows 80-120 MB free memory all the time.
[Defy General] corrinti:
For ext4

- make a nandroid backup of your data (or full one)

- reboot to bootmenu>tools>format data to ext4 - wait a while with a red dot on a screen

- go to recovery, no matter stable or custom > backup and recover > advanced restore > restore data (only)

For MSGinger battd & battery libbs - I use it

Don't have any comparison to MSGinger system, but can say that with similar usage last builds are just similar - a little bit worse comparing to CM7.2. Just hard to kill the system earlier than in 40 hours of my usage with worn battery, wifi 100% on, location function on. Charging every second night.

For launcher - works great with no lags over time, use HoloHD, but because of often updates to the system never used it for more then 2 days without restarting :D

For phone calls: try different baseband

For compass calibration: worked without a problem, first turned yellow and soon got a message that calibration completed. Try to stop the apk, wipe its data and start again

after 0911:

- smooth but still some lags, mostly after 1 day usage (can't still understand why scrolling is laggy in the homescreen until I scroll it a few times while in other single core phones it's always smooth);

- screen locked while calling, can't close the call (didn't try in-accurate proximity);

- can't fix gps;

- can't install android 4.2 keyboard, which I was using with 0211;
[Defy General] AnTerNoZ:
with adw I don't had such problems, if u use third part launcher try to lock them in memory, there is a thread for that.

Jelly powered.Defy
[Defy General] corrinti:
Well, from my noob point of view about lags, which I do not experience anyhow, beside phone, contact and sms start:

- you shall compare to phones with the same screen resolution (still most of them have smaller resolution, which gives a lot to system speed)

- we got a great system, with much more functionality then GB, much better user interface but what still is to be developed is its kernel. Please note that we use modified GB kernel till now. It is caused both by it was not developed till September as there was no known way to use it, second there are still not enough sources to develope it any faster. If you try CM7.2 with its proper kernel, it works without any lags, but on the other side its functionality is much smaller

For gps calibration stop this application, clear its data and try again. For me works without a problem.
