[Hero CDMA General] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
Wow, thanks for reminding me how dumb I felt when I encountered this issue several months back!

I got my refurb, and re-rooted in the parking lot (I didn't want to risk wrecking my truck due to the frustration and rage I feel when I have stock 2.1 Sense on this phone :p ) I am not much of a picture person, but the few pics I did take looked so bad, and I never could get a barcode to scan no matter how steady I held the phone. I assumed it was related to the fact that we were in the early stages of Froyo development, and as we all know, the Hero camera is one of the last things to get fixed because of the drivers. When most of the bugs got fixed, and I saw no change in quality, I decided it must be faulty hardware. So I drove to Sprint, and used my laptop in their parking lot to run the RUU :D then I took the back cover off to take out the sd card. Thats when I saw the tape :mad:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] nbroneobi:
sprint Android 2.1 now available for Samsung Moment! Details and instructions here - http://bit.ly/bfOw9j. Hero users, you're up next!

finally some kind of word besides 2quarterish lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] computerkid23:
bout time cant wait for the even more stable roms thats the devs will cook up i might just keep the hero and hold out on the evo hoping the devs wont abandon the hero lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
i hope this will be out in a weeks time. yes most devs will leave for the evo but myself and a few will stick around. ;)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] computerkid23:
appreciate that bro.....i need to learn on my own just in case tho lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
so this needed to be posted in the Dev forum?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] platinumrug:
Yes it did, because people like me that ONLY check this forum for new hero roms wouldn't have known about it being on these forums. Kind of silly that the moment got it before the Hero.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jus10o:
They dont use htc sense.. Its just a vanilla rom. Ours takes a little longer.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
+1 i think sense is what was holding up the hero update.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thatguythatdid:
I agree but I wouldnt have known about this if it wasn't. My sister is happy now
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Russ741:
post to the correct thread/forum please.

My friend received her Eris 2.1 OTA update from stock 1.5 today. She tells me half her contacts (previously synced from her last VZW phone, a two year old Envy) are gone, as well as a bunch of other settings, apps, etc.

Anyone else having these issues as well? She's none too happy, specifically about the losing the contacts. Any work arounds? I recall a similar thing happening to the Droids when they received their first OTA update...something about exporting and re-importing the contacts?

TIA!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WalkingTaco:
I didn't get the OTA because of root but as long as her contacts were synced with her google account it shouldnt have touched anything with her contacts that wouldnt have been restored when she signed in.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wm1:
actually I have a coworker who got the update and all of her contacts restored except for the ones which she had assigned a ringtone to (mostly family). She wound up having to reenter the contacts because they disappeared from the gmail site also. I made sure to export my gmail contacts so that if something screwed up I could restore them back on line.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremeskier97:
None of mine were corrupt. In fact, my phone kept everything that was on it, including wallpapers. All ringtones that were assigned were still attached.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcgoo99:
thanks guys. a call to VZW cleared it up, she entered some code into the dialer, reset the phone, all contacts except a couple were restored. most apps were uninstalled however, as well as phone customizations. kinda a PITA but it's back up and running so it's all good. thanks for the responses!

flashboot-mac flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img

is this wrong?
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Hey man, it sounds like either you don't know how a filesystem works, or how a terminal works. Unless you skipped the step on downloading fastboot-mac. If you didn't skip that step, you need to actually change into the directory where you downloaded that file to be able to run it.
[Nexus One General] timal:
If you have fastboot installed. Make sure you have the recovery.img file in the same directory as fastboot to flash. Preferable in the 'tools' directory.
[Nexus One General] mortzz:
Or you can just do fastboot-mac flash recovery *drag image onto terminal window*
[Nexus One General] mich11128:
I believe when you flash through terminal on mac it should be ./fastboot flash recovery ./recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img
[Nexus One General] mortzz:
I completely forgot about that! I modified my bash_profile so all I have to do is type adb or fastboot and then the command.

[Touch 3G ROM Development] cPT.cAPSLOCK:
Hey guys, thanks for reading.

I've bought my Jade about 15 months ago, and been using it ever since. Most of the time it was on vibrate/silent, and when the ringer was on I put it on ring & vibrate.

However, it suddenly doesn't vibrate anymore, at all.

Is there any way I could fix this myself, without voiding warranty?

Thanks in advance!
[Touch 3G ROM Development] hrkh83:
Hey...

You can buy vibrator from ebay for 3.99$

It is very easy to replace it

It happened to my speaker and vibrator....

I bought two vibrator and two speaker... for further use...

I also suggest you buy speaker for your device...

About warranty..... Does it have void label on it's screws? If your answer is yes so you can not replace it.... :(
[Touch 3G ROM Development] cPT.cAPSLOCK:
Yea i have a sticker labeled 'VOID' on one of them.

So DYI is not an option.

Thanks for the reply.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tbrummell:
I've been flashing and switch radio's like crazy the last couple of weeks since all these new ROM's have been coming out. Anyway, since all of this, at some point my GPS quit working reliably. Sometimes it will grab a signal, sometimes not (always testing outside in clear sky).

I've seen a few people complaining of this exact same thing, yet no reliable solution. I've placed this in the Dev section in hopes a Dev with GPS experience see's it and reviews our problems.

Currently I'm on bcrook's port of Cyan 5.x T5. I've reflashed radio, h-boot & recovery and restored my Nandroid. No change.

Any idea's.....anyone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] omnikai:
I was on SuperEclair 0.9/1.0 and it stopped working. I switched back to CapyMod's Legend Sense (based on Sanpei's) and it still isn't working :S

Is there any troubleshooting that can be done? Logs somewhere perhaps?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tbrummell:
Well, either flashing test5, or flashing my radio again has made it work again for GMaps and GPS Status, but am having problems with CoPilot.

CoPilot quits about 5 seconds after starting, so I plugged in so I could get a LogCat of it, and it starts. After many tests, it does indeed work while plugged in, and does not work when unplugged. I guess I'll have to contact ALK.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] omnikai:
You just re-flashed the same radio again? Did you use the new windows tool?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tbrummell:
Yes, I just flashed the same radio again, plus Hboot and recovery. No, I probably didn't need to do the recovery, but in the end it didn't hurt anything eitrher. I am on old radio, just as a FYI.

No I did not use the tool, I did it manually from Cursors instructions thread.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] GuestK00288:
I have a question for more knowledgeable people than myself and a thought for all of us.

A lot of roms are now using the tweaked settings in the build.prop files to increase the upload/download 3G/Edge speeds.

These settings are known to interfere with 3G/Edge connectivity depending on the network, carrier, phone, rom, etc. - I think.

I haven't done this yet, but it would be worth testing whether reverting back to the standard settings for 3G/Edge in the build.prop files results in better more consistent GPS connections. You would lose the blazing fast download speeds, but you might gain stability and consistent connectivity.

I don't use GPS much or CoPilot or any navigator.

Someone should push an edited build.prop or build.sapphire.prop file to their phone and test.

The modified settings are something like:

ro.ril.hep=1

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8

ro.ril.enable.a53=1

ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1

ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask = 4294967295

ro.ril.htcmaskw1 = 14449

ro.ril.hsupa.category = 5

I think the original were:

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

adb remount

adb push build.sapphire.prop /system/build.sapphire.prop

adb shell reboot

Here is one of the threads on the topic:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=595291

SuperEclair for 32A NR has the modded settings for speed. I would be happy to remove them if we get confirmation.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
Just FYI, the cupcake my Magic came factory-installed with had:

ro.ril.enable.a53=1

ro.ril.hep = 1

ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask = 4294967295

ro.ril.htcmaskw1 = 800881

Carrier is Orange.pl in case it matters.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
Time to revive this thread? Seems there's no solution in sight.

FWIW I am currently testing the CM port to new radio by carz12, and my gps is not working at all (no position fix).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alan090:
gps works fine for me - locks depending on how nice the satellites are withing 10s - 1m accurate to 5-10m
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
I can't rule out the possibility that some of us just have defective gps units in our phones. I'm hoping someone suggests a way to diagnose this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alan090:
have u tried running the old radio? new radio seems to have alot of problems on gps unless your using cursorsense still
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ruimoura:
My GPS is working just fine with Cyanogen 5 stable from alan090.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] markojan:
Mine is not working eirher. I have CM5 stable (the same with other ROM versions). The GPS worked within 1sec on Ndrive with HTC Stock ROM. With CM mod , i reboot the phone , go to Ndrive, works like charm ; exit; enter again and it doesn't work ..... so i don't use navigation any more... less of a headake ...

if a solution comes up i am more than willing to try it ..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alan090:
and it seems your all using the 6.35 series radio. seems to be your problem right there
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ari197:
I second on this .. I was using several ROMs with new radio, all having problem with GPS. It just easily lost GPS lock. After I revert to old ROM, my GPS lock seems to be better.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
The first new radio rom I tried was HTC's official senseui cupcake (rooted, though), and that had issues too.

I distinctly recall having gps issues while I was using old radio roms as well. Those included CM4, SuperD, and Cannon's Complete Eclair. I will experiment with this though. Does anyone know a simple way to carry apps and settings between roms over different radio versions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alan090:
titanium backup - donate version
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
I use the free version, and restored apps no longer receive update notifications from the market - does the paid version change this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] markojan:
i use the old radio and hboot .... and stilll the GPS problem. The problem started even with old CM roms (for 1.6 cupcake) , only with HTC stock rom did the GPS work withing seconds...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
Reflashed the radio (exact same version as my current), since some people say it helped for them. No difference on my phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
@alan090: just in case you might be right I flashed my phone with old radio and your own port/mod of CM5. Made no difference at all to gps (non-)functioning.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] markojan:
in my opinion the solution has nothing to do with RADIO , reflashing it etc...

the 2.1 eclair has nothing to do either... Cyanogen cannot use HTC made software and HTC developed drivers ,and incorporate them into CM5. He had to write all the stuff himself. So if we could find a decompressed htc rom (extracted files) and copy ourselves some files like i don't know , htc_gps.xxx or something like that maybe that will finaly solve the problem. As I said before, on HTC stock rom , the GPS acquired satelite within 1-2sec max , every time ...

any ideas ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alan090:
yea - your gps radio is broken

if it doesnt work with CM5 which is a known stable build from AOSP 2.1

then its not going to work on anything

You can try some donut roms too like superfast and/or rav ion but they should come out the same as 2.1...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Donkey3000:
Is it really the radio or the drivers for it? I didn't have a problem with gps/navigation using capyslide or smoki (both 2.1 sense roms, I forget which as I've switched roms a bunch this past week trying to find a stable one with nav), but had an issue with supereclair rom and this one (all roms using new radio).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] carz12:
Strange, I have no issues at all with gps on new radio. I'll try a few different drivers and check it out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] capychimp:
it's alan trying to bi$%h new radio as always, my gps works without any problems on new radio too :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
Yeah right. I flashed new radio and sanpei's legend port, and had a fix within seconds of launching gps status.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] markojan:
so you're saying to upgrade from 1.33.xxxx SPL and 3.22.xx.xx RADIOS to the new SPL/RADIO and port the CM5 for it and that should do the trick with GPS ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
No I'm not. In fact I tried the CM5 port for new radio and my gps worked very inconsistently (flakily at first, not at all after a while). This caused me to try the old radio version, in order to test alan090's theory. My daily ROM (in my sig) has nothing in common with CM. And I am not claiming the gps works consistently on that ROM either, we'll see after a while. But it does refute alan's claim that my gps must be fully broken, and that it either works on CM old radio or not at all.

And yes I did have similar issues while using CM4, SuperD & other old radio donut roms, but that was in the winter and I did not feel much motivated to look into the issue - as I was always exactly sure where I was with no use of gps.

I'm afraid none of the devs here understands the issue and many choose to ignore it, in spite of a number of similar reports (not just mine).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] capychimp:
it's an anoying problem (sadly i have no knowledge of how to fix it) i guess we have to wait for a wizard ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] markojan:
i did a nandroid backup , and flashed HTC stock ROM . GPS did it in ~ 1sec ... and worked stable with GPS fixed.....

i don't understand what could be the issue here ;)

reverted the Nand backup to CM5 and GPS worked only 1st time , with GPS fixed within 10secs .... started GPS status again and it doesn't work .. hmmmmm.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
yeah that seems to be what many people observe.

As an aside, while asking around I realized many people aren't even aware their gps isn't working - they think the flashing icon on the notification bar means all is ok (while as long as it's flashing, the gps is still searching and hasn't fixed position).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] account1:
exactly, as you mentioning, with htc's stock rom, gps working fine

with any other 2.1 custom rom, for both new and old radio, gps is malfunctioning

and that means that all current custom roms are useless for my needs
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] orange_24:
I have to disagree with you because the GPS on the old radio and the latest version 5.0.7 of the CM which i yesterday switched works without charges ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
Strange, I flashed old radio + CM5 (alan's port) yesterday (see previous posts), and it did not work at all.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
One suggestion (from #cyanogenmod on IRC): try changing the apn type for your internet APN to "default,supl" if it's not already like that (without the quotes of course).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] orange_24:
its really strange becouse i am now on CyanogenMod 5.0.7 Eclair 2.1 edit by alan090 and I do not have any probles with GPS...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
Wait and see whether the GPS continues to work consistently over several days, then draw conclusions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] orange_24:
I use since yesterday. how far FIX broke twice
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] markojan:
ammmm wooow

i did the APN edit, set my default connection to "default,supl" and for some reason the GPS is now working fine ... still testing , but for now WOW.... \\

what the f***ck ?????
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] account1:
does not work for me (already had that setting)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] markojan:
ammm ... go to Settings , Wireless & Networks, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names, And edit the internet connection you use (not the MMS one). At the bottom you will find APN type: default.

edit it and enter : default,supl

it seems that on htc rom the apn settings has that somehow embedded and doesn't to be entered. And here it does. I guess it says to the phone to use this connection as AGPS and that's how the HTC stock rom gets GPS fix so fast, it uses AGPS and plane GPS and therefore gets quick lock (network access point are used for fixing position)

now, if Ndrive doesn't GPS fix within 5sec, i close it , reopen and BOOM , GPS locked :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
Yes, it looks like HTC Sense roms don't need the "supl" setting. But it doesn't do any harm either (I tried), though that might be carrier-dependent.

I got the tip from someone on IRC who it seems was the guy that compiles the APN list for cyan. Indeed, in the APN list included in cyanogenmod5 the entries for some carriers already have that setting, though many others don't.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] markojan:
and now i cannot send mms , only recieve it ;) when i delete supl from internet AP , mms works ...

xa xa xa
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
****, so they must have omitted the supl for some carriers for a reason.

TBH I haven't tried to send any mms recently (I very rarely do).

So I guess my solution will be to continue using a Sense rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] markojan:
OK , solution No.2 :) (supl not needed)

it seems that cyanogen is in the USA and GPS (gps.conf) is setup for USA settings.

here are some settings for updating (flashing) if you are outside the US

Borrowed urls from Xda cappyslide thread

Patches:

GPS Settings for outside US/MEX/CAN:

- Europe

- Asia

- Oceanic

- South America

And then save them to your SD card, reboot to RECOVERY MODE , flash file from SD ...

And now i don't need the SUPL in APN setting ... it's working fine and within 1-2sec GPS fix ...

keep testing , let me know ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] capychimp:
well for me it has been working like a charm, after setting the conf up for european timeservers. can't remember who told me about it, but my gps has been working fine ever since
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
I know about the fix given by capy, but I see only slight improvement from applying it, if any. Also, gps does work for me on capy's Sense Rom, but not on CM5 ports - fix or no fix.

I'm in Italy, with a HTC Magic 32A anc Cyano 5.0.7 and I've the same problem.

With Copilot (and with all the navigator tried to test GPS device) my GPS fix in few seconds but after that, the icon stop flashing and the software doesn't calculate the track, doesn't show my position and other.

I tried with 1° solution (default,supl) and the only thing I had was losting my MMS service...I tried the 2° solution flashing Europe file and restart my phone but it's the same.

Anyone has an idea to make GPS work?

(...and also to re-allow my MMS service? Now, with or without ",supl" it doesen't work)

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] markojan:
if you have CM5, rooted HTC Magic and old SPL/RADIO one or the other MUST WORK ....

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] markojan:
One more question guys. Did you install a CM5 (ds stable 1/2) from this forum or from Cyanogenmod.com forum ?

the one posted here, as i saw, has some tweaks and stuff done to it by users. so it is not the original CM5. I use original CM5 from cyanogen forum @ cyanogenmod.com ... and the GPS with Europe settings has done the thing for me and now it works like charm (i have removed supl from APN).....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
Hmm yeah I guess you're right. The CM5 versions I tried were the new radio port by carz12, and alan090's mod. And they are based on different kernel builds than the sort-of-official 32a port, besides having various UI mods.

But atm I'm quite content with the rom I'm using and in no hurry to go back to old radio and CM5 for the sake of research.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tbrummell:
Just an update on my situation. I've been running old radio for a few weeks now and GPS has been working. It's not as sensitive as it used to be, but it eventually will get a lock (outdoors). It is absolutely useless indoors, even near windows...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] feicher:
GPS on 2.1 solved

Had the same issue as many of you with non working GPS. Was latest running Smoki 0.6.1. No GPS. Capy's Hero: No GPS. Tested it using "GPS Test". This application comes handy for the issue. No patch worked.

What I did:

- Downloaded the latest stock ROM (Sense 1.5, country specific for my device)

- unpacked the installer and extracted the radio.img

- flashed the radio.img

- DONE....GPS works fine... Lock on maybe 10sec with 7 Sats

The radio is eccatly the same size as the IMG that comes along with Radio Switcher. However I doubt that it is exactly the same Radio. The Stock is dated from 12.2009 whereas the radio switcher's is newer 3.2010.

The Switcher's is 6.35.10.18

My working Stock now is: 6.35.08.29

Maybe the smarter guys in this forum will find out what exactly the problem is
