Latitude does not appear to work...

First of all, nice work on the build - I'll be donating tonight. I put this on the wife's "White" Evo a couple days ago and noticed that Latitude in Google maps does not work. It will not report position, and will not use the same Google account as the rest of the phone is set to. Already tried wiping data/dalvik and also tried reinstalling Maps, to no avail.

Any suggestions? Anyone else seeing this? :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] slayer69:
I had the same problem when I tried to use it through google maps. I found Latitude its self should be another app on the phone. If not download it. Then use that to sign in. After that when you go into google maps it should work. It did for me anyways after signing in to the latitude app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
I just checked on my white evo. i can't even join latitude. When I try, it asks me to setup a Google account. When I tell it my account it says "This account already exists on this phone". If I back out of the "sign in" page, then it just says "Joining Latitude" and never goes past that... so I sorta verify your problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slayer69:
I ran into this when I first installed Fresh 3.x. Then I realized I didn't wipe data. So I wipe the data and re-flashed and no issues ever since.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Slappy_G:
Yup - this is EXACTLY what she sees.

We see this in the app list, and the result is the same as above. Not sure why. Perhaps Google's code is not FroYo ready? :D I'd be happy to teach them a few tricks...
[EVO 4G Android Development] takmsdsm:
See the Netarchy thread. There is definitely something up with the .7 and .8 kernels. I am running into the same problem. You will have to either a nand restore from .6 if you had one, or reflash the .6 kernel and do a factory reset. It blows but what can you do, gotta pay to play sometimes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jvasco2010:
Thanks... already did the first part still a nogo... was trying to see if there was a quick fix b4 i do a data wipe but will try that next it just stinks having to possition all the apps like u want it again and set everything up its a pain :mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] engagedtosmile:
I'll try that. I have only done Vanilla lock+Clock and I only had one Clock app so I set it in there. I'll try again. Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
A little more info... I noticed that when I open Maps... "login failed" flashes ever so briefly. I uninstalled and reinstalled from the market. Same problem. That's probably why Latitude doesn't work ("login failed"). Still not sure that this is a ROM problem - it may be a Froyo/Google Maps problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] timdsmith72:
Mine was doing the same thing. While messing around I noticed that in the notification latitude was asking permission to access my google account. I clicked "Allow" and launched Latitude again and was able to join with no problem.

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EindhovenOne:
Been using 3.1.0.1 with no issue except for one...Just as I did on all of Flipz' previous Evo ROMs I installed the Vanilla lock, but for some reason it is only working for the lock screen, not for incoming calls and what not, but when I look at all the files inside the .apk, all the .png files are there for the Vanilla lock on answer and decline etc etc etc....any suggestions or ideas? Also, when I tried to install the black vanilla screen the phone never made it past the first white HTC screen and I let it sit for nearly an hour just to make sure. Tried wipes, cache clears, and even a reinstall of the ROM but nothing worked. Thanks in advance...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Tim D Smith! You are like unto a God! I shall name my first born child after you...

This is the solution (proper credit given to Mr. Smith).

Open Latitude (or Maps and then click menu -> join latitude)

Immediately pull down the notification tray and you'll see a request pending

Click it, tell it yes

Go "back" to Latitude and it'll have already jumped over to where it wants you to log into Google.

Click the back button on your phone until you're completely out of Latitude

Open Latitude again.

I hope that updates your wife's location Senior Slappy G.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Slappy_G:
I'll try it tonight. I was getting worried. I hadn't seen my postman for a couple days, and I can't track the wife now. I'm flying blind here, guys!
[EVO 4G Android Development] slayer69:
If you read the instructions it says to do a full data wipe. Its unavoidable. going from 1.x to 3.x. I say bite the bullet and do it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] timdsmith72:
LMAO!! Glad it worked for you, Sir. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ceger:
Got it fixed by going into application details under settings/applications and simply cleared the data. Market works perfectly now.

Ceger
[EVO 4G Android Development] n1gh7m4r3:
I had the same issue, when first going into latitude, after i tried signing in twice, i believe i just backed it out to maps and it was somehow then active
[EVO 4G Android Development] PLESTIUC:
thanks man will do.

can you apply manup's theme on top of this built?
[EVO 4G Android Development] n1gh7m4r3:
Yes you can, running it now. And out of curiosity those of you having problems with the netarch kernel, what are you using to wipe before flashing, aman ra, or the other one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vdubtx:
Manup theme is pretty sweet. Really liked it when I tried out Baked Snacks and had to have it with Fresh.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MJStephens:
Net Kernal 3.7.8b + Wireless Tether pre_7 = no good for me yet? Do i HAVE to use 3.7.6c (i think thats the right one) for wireless tether? I thought since this was a newer version that it would have the same properties as the older ones as well as new ones. Still having issues with my camera/camcorder after a fresh reboot of the phone. It SHOULD start working after my phone has been up for about 20-30min. Still a weird bug.
[EVO 4G Android Development] l3l2ad:
fresh: do you think that 2.2 will ever get a root process?!
[EVO 4G Android Development] n1gh7m4r3:
You don't need to change the kernel, though there is a newer one 3.7.8b (which i am running with 0 problems) its the wifi tether your using is whats incompatible, i run pre 6 working, i have also read somewhere that pre 2 was working with netarch kernels. The pre 7 works with Flipz kernel i think, not 100% positive on that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dmankl:
i have acouple questions ...

one is anyone getting a force close when they try to dial *2?

does anyone have a fix to the mms limit and 3

how can i change the launcher back to stock sense ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Slappy_G:
Confirmed! Your trick works for getting Latitude working on her device. Now I just need to get the postman to get an Android phone...
[EVO 4G Android Development] MJStephens:
Yeah I actually mis-typed. I was using the Netarchy 3.7.8b kernal with pre_7. Nand Restored to stock kernal + pre_7 and now I'm good. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
1) read the release notes

2) nope.. I'm not aware of an mms limit

3) if you physically removed sense either copy rose back on or reflash. If you just deactivated it then use the same method to deactivate launcher pro. Easiest way would be to just reflash
[EVO 4G Android Development] PLESTIUC:
so you are running 3.7.8b on this Fresh?

I use Amon recovery and as I said it sits on the boot screen for me with both 3.7.8b and 3.7.6c
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
Maybe a noob question. but I see everyone speaking about all these versions of tether... where are you guys getting all these versions?

I need one for Nets 3.7.8b
[EVO 4G Android Development] chazglenn3:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
Thanks a lot
[EVO 4G Android Development] n1gh7m4r3:
Yes currently running 3.7.8b and i was running 3.7.6c first both on this rom, no problems, i did run into a bootloop once upon a time, i rewiped, without reflashing and it solved my problems, not sure if thats any help to you or not
[EVO 4G Android Development] dmankl:
ok figured out the *2

and they fixed it a lil .. before it would shrink pix to 144x 220

it was ridiculous
[EVO 4G Android Development] TorxT3D:
Is it possible to remove sense from this latest fresh 3.1.0.1 rom?

I'd like to run some benchmarks with fresh - sense + netarchy kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shoofly:
nevermind i got it
[EVO 4G Android Development] d2globalinc:
For those using WIFI Tether

I installed pre7 - of wifi tether - and it does connect, and xp and linux machines can connect - however - performance SUCKS.. and by sucks i mean its speed and response is slow as hell... SO even tho some people are reporting that it works - i just want to say it doesn't work well.. when i could connect to speedtest.net i was getting very bad performance using 3G.... So there is more needed in order to get wifi-tether to work normally.

I've got updated radios, and using 3.1.0.1 of Fresh Evo Rom..

Just an FYI ;)

[EVO 4G Android Development] tkrechel:
Is anyone else getting a force close when you try to calibrate htc ime mod keyboard? If so do you know of a fix?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
read back a few pages.

[EVO 4G Android Development] tkrechel:
Will do, I guess i should have searched first since I always preach to do so lol. What comes around goes around =p
[EVO 4G Android Development] sparhawk6:
Has anyone noticed any lag when inputting text with the keyboard? Occasionally my phone will hang for a split second. It's not the end of the world, but it is slightly annoying. I am coming from DC 3.2.3 and I never have seen this lag before.
[EVO 4G Android Development] koricua74:
What was the fix?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wuclan48:
Nope, no issues like that for me. Snappy as hell. I'm using swype btw.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
I use HTC ime kitchen v27 and mine won't start sending my keystrokes to the input box for 2 or 3 seconds sometimes. I figured it was the app... and v28 would fix the problem. Like you said... not the end of the world for me either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
What version of swype do you use?

I thinkI have the newest but it sometimes doesn't "swype" and I have to keep changing input methods and changing back...not a big deal but its happening more and kills the "speed" advantage of the keyboard =\
[EVO 4G Android Development] n1gh7m4r3:
Have any of you guys with keyboard issues tried Swiftkey beta (free) from the market? the text prediction on that thing is absurd, typed a whole paragraph once without typing any words, just hitting the space bar to accept what it thought i wanted
[EVO 4G Android Development] fatboypup:
My Sprint football app isn't playing nicely today anyone else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sdc177:
Just an FYI, works fine for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] buck1623:
yeah im tethering using pre7 now on 3g and it works well... i have no issues with performance/speeds either....
[EVO 4G Android Development] godfirst:
Fyi once you update to net 3.7.8b with this rom 3mp &8mp glitch no longer works, you actually can only take 3mp quality, hopefully there's a fix for it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wuclan48:
1.56.30.7625.t100

I had the issue you're experiencing. I uninstalled swype, ran the swype installer again and everything has been good since then.

after flashing the netarchy kernal, I notice my 3g speed went down!!

have anyone else notice that>?? if not which Kernal did you guys flash?>???
[EVO 4G Android Development] shoofly:
how do i put apps on sd card

when i go to manage applications and click on a game i cant move to sd card
[EVO 4G Android Development] aka bueno:
I looked but couldn't find the answer, how do I get the stock Sense UI dock bar, instead of the Expresso bar that comes with Fresh ROMs???
[EVO 4G Android Development] chazglenn3:
Not all apps can be moved to the SD card. They have to have it written into their code.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
I use an app apps 2 sd. Lets you know what apps CAN be moved, and allows you to do them right there in the app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shoofly:
thanks

i downloaded it
[EVO 4G Android Development] emulatorx:
hey I think I noticed the same prob..not too sure what my speeds were before but 708kbps down seems low.. I did speedtest app and also mobilespeedtest.com to test.. I didnt do the tests before the kernel..but since you mentioned it, i do find it a bit wierd

i have latest radios installed btw
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonathaflores:
I used to get 1mb-1.5mb in 3G, now I am Getting 500kbs, not good enough , I am at the same place havent moved at all!!!, 4G i was getting 3mbs no bars, now I am getting 1mb no bars!!!:confused::(

I also have the latest Radios!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] emulatorx:
ok , lets try to get to the bottom of this quickly...

did you noticed this AFTER installing 3.7.8b? or just when installed fresh 3.1.0.1 with stock kernel? or maybe we should revert to the radio before the latest? this is killing me now.. i cant believe i didnt notice this
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonathaflores:
after installing the 3.7.8b kernel, I am reverting back to the stock kernal rite now!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlackedOut08R1:
my 4g speeds jumped about 4 mbs :-) with the netarchy's kernal and newest radios!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonathaflores:
what you do??? which kernal did you install???
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
I don't really know if kernels have any effect on signal.. I'm pretty sure that is the radios job..

Could be wrong, but I have never heard of signal issues because of a kernel, specially one that works for others with no problems on the same hardware/setup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
I'm not complaining. I've never seen the upload this high.

I'd say the irregularities are probably Sprint's networks... I wouldn't advise blowing away your configurations just to test... wait a day and try agian.

Fresh kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] theebrownieee:
For all the setcpu posts, you cannot use SetCPU without flashing a custom Kernal, Fresh is using the HTC leaked kernal which has OC abilities disabled.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stangdriverdoug:
Been playing with this Rom for about 2 hours and so far so good
[EVO 4G Android Development] SilentSummer:
Does this ROM make Google Market think you have a Nexus one?

I updated Titanium Backup from Appbrain and right afterwards got this email
[EVO 4G Android Development] cdcrowell:
mine too i wandered why i got a nexus email
[EVO 4G Android Development] welrope:
Just wanted to say awesome job. Been on this bad boy since b1, and I have to say, insane battery life..insane.. I actually used my phone for 1+ hour on the phone, 30-40 text, gmail, exchange, wifi on all day, 4g for couple hours and i still have 46 percent left...insane.

Can't find a thing wrong with the phone through all three revisions, only thing is they have gotten better battery life and smoother with each update. Not sure how .4 can be better, but bout to find out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
quick question, i just did a full wipe, then flashed this rom, the new radio and the wimax...when everthing was done i still see all my apps as before, is this right? i was expecting all my apps to disappear???
[EVO 4G Android Development] tmotech88:
Where do I get the net kernel? Any other custom kernels working with this Rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] convexmacrolabs:
I encountered the same problem, and I wiped all data, dalvik, and battery stats prior to flashing. I also encountered a bug where pop-up notifications bubbles would not go away.

Obviously not charging is a deal-breaker, so I'm restoring my 1.0.1 backup after less than 30 minutes of using the new ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] welrope:
If your using clockwork mod, you may want to try amon-recovery. I spent an entire evening wiping and flashing a rom, noticing that not even my text messages were dissapering...tried amon, and well..it works. All data wipes with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 702DROID:
if having problems wipe and reflash
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vivix729:
Wireless Tether pre6 works. Using Fresh 3.0.0.4, netarchy's kernel. Make sure to UNINSTALL the previous version of WT. Posting over Wireless Tether right now, so it's definitely working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
i am using amon...i did data wipe, cache and dalvik...i didnt do ext-partition though
[EVO 4G Android Development] welrope:
If y'all are using clockwork mod to wipe and flash, please don't for the time being. I had to switch to amon due to clockwork either not wiping fully or not at all. Every bug ive had with this rom on beta1 went away with switching to amon. just my thoughts:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ohwut:
SetCPU works just fine. No over clocking though. Just make sure to run the perflock disabler.
[EVO 4G Android Development] welrope:
Did you have these apps installed to the sdcard?
[EVO 4G Android Development] apexi350z:
netarchy 3.7.6 is the key to make it work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] bash78:
do i really need to install the ES security manager and the ES task manager????? coz when i opened the ES file explorer it asked me too:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vivix729:
It's in the original post:

Updated estrongs file explorer to 1.4.4.1

The new version seems to prompt you to install some of ES' other applications when you run it the first time. You don't need to worry about that. I may remove it for this reason.
[EVO 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
This ROM has all sorts of problems/quirks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vivix729:
Such as...?
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Amen to that. I spent 4 hours yesterday trying to fix my "broken 4g". Gave up late night, woke up this morning, turn on 4g, connected right away.

When you say fresh kernel, do you mean the kernel that came with the rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonathaflores:
I didnt wipe, or nothing after I installed the kernal, maybe thats were my problem is???
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Fresh kernel means the kernel that came with the ROM.

When using the speed test app you need to pick the server manually or it'll pick the one closest to your physical location and not the one closest to your Sprint switch... my Sprint switch is neat Chicago and I live rather far from there... if I let it pick a server for me the speed wasn't so impressive.

BTW those are 3g speeds not 4g.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
I have no idea what i've done wrong, but I'm trying to flash this and failing. I did SimpleRoot and everything worked fine. I put this on my SDcard and flashed it. Still no problems. No it's at the FreshEVO loading animation and it keeps repeating itself, saying 'FRESH' occassionally.

Anyone have any ideas?

--Edit: Nevermind, I just reflashed making sure I wiped data and it worked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Are you nand unlocked? I ask cause you didn't mention that, just simpleroot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
question, hopefully someone can help...i'm on the latest fresh and i havent flashed any different kernel...my phone works fine and i dont have plans to overclock but i do want to get past the 30fps limit...do i absolutely have to flash a custom kernel to do this? i want to use netarchy's but i keep seeing people post issues with it...i'm wondering is it even worth it to get a higher fps since my phone is stable now
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
Yes you have to use a custom kernel to unlock fps
[EVO 4G Android Development] cdcrowell:
dont know if this has been posted .i havet got through all the pages
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
is there that much of a noticeable diff between 30 fps and the 50fps some people are getting?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
Some say yes, some say no...

Depends on what you do on your phone, IMO you would have to try the FPS unlock for 2-3 days then go back to being locked and see if you notice
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
hmmm....i like my phone the way it is right now...i think i'll wait on unlocking the fps cuz i'm reading a bunch of horror stories in that netarchy thread lol, i dont feel like dealing with all that
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
Yea it's iffy right now

When HTC releases the source code tho, the real magic will begin. Then I'm sure we will have the same stability as we did with 2.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] daproblem18:
How to access launcher pro on the Rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
also one more question...is fresh roms one of the roms where i have to disable the perflock everytime i reboot to underclock in setcpu
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
It runs its precious. Yessss
[EVO 4G Android Development] daproblem18:
So how do I edit it and stuff

Anyone experiencing bad battery life? Running 3.1.0.1 with stock kernel.... I'm only able to free up around 100-150mb when using ATK was a solid 240 before the upgrade and could go a full day with heavy use b4 I needed a charge. If I flash a different kernel do I needa do a full wipe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 702DROID:
stop using task killers
[EVO 4G Android Development] jkinnison90:
Don't bother with task killers. There's no point. You can read up on it on geekfor.me
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
anyone know the answer to the perflock question
[EVO 4G Android Development] lamboh:
im running this rom and just flashed netarchy...as a matter of fact, there's a fresh specified zip. also flashed using clockwork no wipe...and all is good. only thing is that it shows 3mp in the camera setttings but takes 8mp ...

i decided not to installl when i was manually installing all my apps since froyo....i find that it runs better without it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
I have never had to touch perflock. I'm pretty sure that's what the kernels do.

As for battery life let your roms settle. When you wipe to install something new, you wipe your battery shiz. The battery needs to relearn.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
well i'm only using setcpu to lower the max when the screen is off...but i read that you have to disable the perflock every reboot with some roms cuz not all roms do this automatically...i dont know which fresh roms does?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 702DROID:
its all up to the kernal your running has never been a problem with fresh
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Correct. If you're underclocking then perflock is not an issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
well i'm asking about the kernel with fresh latest rom?

i see this on the setcpu instructions thread:

"Be on the STOCK kernel. If you're on a custom kernel, chances are that perflock has already been disabled, and you won't need this tutorial to underclock. Some custom ROMs come with the stock kernel (like Fresh 0.5.3) and some don't (like Baked Snack .9.6)"

so if its not a custom kernel it would seem that u have to disable perflock flowing these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=721156
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
oh didnt know that...cool, thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Ok well yes on a stock kernel perflock is enabled. It prevents users from underclocking the cpu. I don't think flipz has done this as I remember opening setcpu when I first flashed and had no under or over clock options. So if you open your tool, whether it be oc widget or setcpu, and there is no room for underclocking, then yes perflock will need disabling.

Figured you were using a different kernel since you said you were successfully underclocking. Keep in mind the cpu scales itself too. I gave up underclocking with setcpu profiles as I didnt see enough change to continue. When your phone is idle, it will scale to 245 n chillax there on its own. Unless you wanted to go down to 128 then yes a kernel modification is needed.
