Been running RC1 since the day it came out, working perfectly except for the GPS issues many have mentioned, and since I travel heavily this is a deal breaker for me. Saw the Mock Locations tip above and, with limited testing, it looks to be the fix. Locked in in 2 seconds and held lock for over an hour twice tonight - never held lock more than 10-20 minutes before, and sometimes wouldn't lock at all. Driving several hundred miles across NC/SC tomorrow so I'll put it to an all day test and see what happens, but I recommend those having GPS issues give this a try.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mdsj:
What does mock locations even supposed to do?

I am trying this now to see if it fixes the gps. Mine isn't broke but doesn't lock on to my exact spot like it used to.

And that fixed it!!! Woohoo!!!

Thanks for the tip!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] hunter82i:
I have been running this ROM since day one also-GPS is the only real issue I am having. My location does not seem to be using the GPS satellites to show my position-only the nearest cell tower. Can't say it is a deal breaker-but I don't understand what's happening. I flashed the Decad3nce stable kernel (#8 I think) to get rid of wake lag. They were reporting some GPS problems there, so I ran the code in the 2nd post of his thread through terminal. No luck there. So I flashed back to stock kernel by reflashing RC1 with no wipe. That did not work. Then, I flashed back to RC1 after a full wipe-and that did not work either.

I turned off "allow mock locations" and that has had no effect for me.

The only thing I can think to do is full wipe-flash back to stock kernel (RC1)-and then make sure mock locations is turned off and see if that works. Does anyone else have any ideas?

I am also running Collins tweak #10, with no CFS tweaks (that I know of). I had #7 before but uninstalled that before installing #10.

On a good note-I used to be like others with very bad battery life (maybe could make it 8 hrs). I think I've got that fixed though. Yesterday, I had the phone off the charger for 8hrs and 23 min and had only used 23% battery (77% remaining) with light use.

For those still having problems, the biggest problems with bad battery life for me seemed to be generated by different apps. I know for sure MixZing player was draining my battery like crazy. Since then, I've also seemed to identify Linpack/Quadrant as a possible culprit.

I would suggest doing the normal battery saving tips (wifi, gps, syncing, calibrating, etc) and if you still are having problems, start uninstalling any apps that have partial wake permissions. They will disclose then when you install them. I pretty much don't download anything that asks for those permissions. Based on what I've read and now what I've seen first hand, the battery issues you are having are more than likely coming from some configuration of apps or setting on your phone and NOT this ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dmm5157:
Hunter,

You mention apps are the problem with Partial Wake. Shouldn't they show up in Spare Parts?

I ask because nothing about my phone is showing up funny, but my battery life has gone down the friggin toilet. I was thinking maybe it was WordFeud and checked Spare Parts. When I check PARTIAL WAKE USAGE there, Android System is the only thing that is over about 2% and it's showing up around 20%. I've seen it much higher and my battery life much better.

I checked BATTERY USE under ABOUT PHONE in settings and it showed my display was at 66% and TIME ON was at 17m 44s. I've had my phone unplugged for an hour and it's dropping about 10% per hour. The only thing that used to drain my battery like that was talking on the phone.

I'm going to try reflashing RC1 and see if that works. I'm not having any other problems other than that.

I may uninstall WordFeud and see if that helps as well. May be a setting in there that is causing the problem, but what is weird is I don't see WordFeud popping up as keeping my phone awake or consuming additional power.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mikegerard:
Thanks guys...CM6 is amazing.

Just got CM6 working on my phone last night. I've been thinking about making the change for a while. It's like I just bought a new phone!!!!

Much more responsive and everything works great. And the best part (to me) is that the phone actually works well as a phone now...it rings quickly and I have time to answer before voicemail kicks in.

Thanks to Darch and everyone else involved in making this ROM and all the tweaks. You guys are really making this an open source success story.

Thanks to Ezintn for helping me figure out the installation process.

So i just downloaded this and installed the [THEME] Steel My Elegance for CM6 Froyo-Nightlies and RC1, and now everytime i try to use my personal wi-fi it says " the application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again." then brings me back to the settings menu.. help??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nimitz87:
yes I'm aware and it is...I can access SU from the shell but not on the phone itself as in using certain apps...

the SU thing started suddenly and I have nooo idea why but I would really rather not have to wipe and install everything again.

unrelated but how can i get my wheel to stop blinking...lol (w/o rebooting)

Chad
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
did you try opening up the app to have it 'forget' your troublesome app(s)? The next time you open your troubled apps, SU should as for a allow decision again. FYI, my SU app had 7 or 8 wireless tether apps listed. Prolly because of all my nightly flashes :rolleyes: Yours might have the same thing and something's getting confused. While my tethering app works, i chose to forget the dupes just in case.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gurusux:
Iv read about this problem but have found no answer.

My phone wont connect to PC via USB after I connected it yesterday as USB Tethering for the 1st time. I can mount it as a storage from the recoverymod but i just cant see it once in the launcher. Any help?

of course... theres no connect to PC in settings so I cant force it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rjj1976:
Make sure USB debugging is on after doing the tethering.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
I'm having the same problem with my win7hp laptop. I have usb debugging enabled and the blue tethering icon appears on my phone but on the windows side, there is no network to connect to.

If I remember correctly, the first time i connected my phone to my laptop, there was a problem installing drivers for it (as an adb device i think). I was able to mount my SD card and also adb bridge it so I clicked "don't remind me again" which I probably shouldn't have done.

Anyway, I think I'm going to try installing HTC Sync for their drivers. I read it wasn't necessary for Win7 (and it isn't for mounting or bridging) but I'll see if those drivers will allow me to tether....

Any fix for GPS issue yet?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andygu3:
I have not had any issues with gps since I started flashing the nightlies on 8/10. Flashed a nightly ever since then with uncapped kernel #7
[Hero CDMA Android Development] killabee44:
Guys,

Now I am having this problem with a different SD card. This one is 2gb. The phone says that the card has been removed and won't detect it again no matter what I do. Any thoughts? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] acedickson:
I'm having an issue with the settings app force closing when I press connect when trying to connect to any wifi network. Any help would be appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] asoong:
i get this error whenever i mount my card to my work laptop (I seriously believe its because of an old M$ ActiveSync install that used to mess up my Mogul too :( ).

Luckily, i was able to remove the card and use a regular card reader to pull the contents off of it. I then put the card back in and reformatted it though my hero. I was then able to mount the sd card while it is in my phone and restore all of my files.

Regardless of whether or not this solves your issue, you should back up your SD card often. Which reminds me....:rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hunter82i:
Honestly I don't know-it makes sense that it would. However, my partial wake wasn't that high either. One item that was very high was Android Media Server or something like that. That is what led me to discover MixZing.

As I said-uninstall, one by one, those apps that seem like they may be a problem. Its not that hard to do and you will at least eliminate the guess work. I'm now at 10 hours off the charger with moderate usage and 65% left, and I've left GPS on all day by accident.

One other though-make sure if you use active sync you don't have it set to "push"; this definately hits the battery hard.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] umhowaboutno:
I don't know if this was covered or not but can someone tell me why my phone wont go landscape? Is it a bug or my accelerometer?

So you flashed the nightly themes for a NON-nightly cm6 rom. Your on RC1... go back to your nandroid backup(lets hope you made one)... and them reflash the correct elegance theme for rc1 not, the nightly theme.

when I wipe and flash it works fine for the first time then after a while it goes crazy again and when I search something it keeps looking for GPS.

Any other solution?

Great work as always guys!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] umhowaboutno:
Ah, thanks lol, what a stupid mistake ;D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] killabee44:
Thanks for your reply...

The problem is that the phone does not see the SD card at all. I can see it fine on my pc by taking it out of the phone and inserting it in an SD adapter and in a reader. I didn't have this problem before this upgrade to CM w froyo. I might have to re-install.

Update:

Got it working by formating the original 8gig card through recovery. Not sure what was up. The 2 gig card didn't work at all after it went out. Something is up with the phone. The 8 gig works for now... We will see if it happens again.

OK - drove ~500 miles today with GPS on the whole way. It was dead nuts accurate, lost signal only once and immediately re-locked - hard to do better than that. Full wipe, flash RC1, flash GAAPS, uncheck "Use Mock Locations", load apps, done - no battery or kernel changes. Everything on the phone working great now, very happy.......

[Hero CDMA Android Development] SirRipo:
So just to clarify, I need to flash the ROM, whichever uncapped kernel I am going to use, then the gapps zip (which I cant seem to find, anyone have a link?), right? I was planning on using the 8/24 nightly, and the #8 kernel, since that seems to be the combo I've seen the most reports of working well together. Any flaws in this plan? Also, where can I get the visual voicemail apk, if its not included in this Rom? I backed up everything with titanium backup, are there going to be any issues restoring contacts that way?

Hero, rooted, DC 2.09.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DominoDoug:
Flash CM6, gapps, kernel, boot. All your apps will auto install. Give it 5-10 mins on its own because this will bog the system at first. Gapps should be on first or 2nd post I'm assuming. I suggest using Google Voice.

i wish i had the same luck as you with gps. i tried that "mock locations" and still, it took about 15 minutes to find a signal, and once it did, it was completely unreliable. if you saw my route i took on my bike today on MyTracks, i was driving right through buildings, then it would abruptly lock in correctly and the line it draws would take a sharp angle turn through 3 blocks. it also had mytracks report that i gained 2294ft in elevation. i can assure you that manhattan does not have that anywhere around it, and if it did, i would be dead right now of exhaustion :)

i hate to be the one that says it, but with this blaring bug, this shouldn't be considered RC1 (i'm actually using a nightly from a few days after RC1 and no battery/kernel tweaks)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:

Manhattan? 2294ft in elevation? sharp angle turn through 3 blocks? Ladies and Gentlemen - we've found The Amazing Spiderman! Sorry - I couldn't resist:rolleyes:

Seriously though - did you try the latest gapps? if so, I think you can flash an older version. I have version 3 which has been 99% rock solid.

Update: There's a potential gps fix and an announcement that this fix will be baked into future nightlies.

Good Luck!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
ok decided to buck it up and install the 8/24 nightly...which happened to fix my GPS(YES!!!!). i havent had it long enough to se if the rc1 collin battery tweak has worked. i usually had to have my 3g turned off in order to get good battery life.

THANKS for the nightlies!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I believe that the reason the apps are not there in the download list for about half a day after you download it (I know, I have it happen to me sometimes to) is because there is something funky with the market cache. I could be wrong, but the reason why flashing new gapps fixes this is because it clears the market data and cache. I could be wrong, but I think you can go into manage applications and clear market data and this will fix the no show apps without having to flash a new gapps.

Is there a set of instructions for using Froyo?

I am trying to find out if there is a way to only sync 1 folder on my exchange email account. or atleast not get notified on the other folders.

Before when I was running 2.1 w sense I only got email notifications for emails that made it to my inbox folder. Now I am getting notifications for any email that comes to my account, and this does not work well since I am part of huge support email groups and alerting emails. 1000 new email notif going off non stop is not fun. I have server rules set up on my exchange to move emails to specific folders. Can it be that the push setting causing this? where the emails are pushed to my phone before the exchange server ruls are classifying them?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SirRipo:
I had a similar issue when I first tried CM. I couldn't figure out how to get my hotmail account to sync, since AFAIK Hotmail isn't an exchange service.

Instructions? I'm still new to this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
If anything that's probably less of a sign it's coming. The nightlys are auto built, so if it's having trouble building those, as is the scuttlebutt, that's probably a step backwards.

At any rate I doubt there's any reason they'd stop them around the time RC2 was about to hit.

That said they are making marked improvements in every nightly (supposedly) so another RC seems likely soon. I'm running 8/24 now and I don't see much of a difference personally between that and RC1. Some people claim it's night and day. I guess I just got lucky, cause I installed RC1 just out of curiosity, expecting to nand back to Fresh 2.3.3 a few hours later, and it was flawless, and love at first site.

It's possible I'm having some of the same battery "issues" others are having, but I never roam that far from power, nor do I expect my phone to last 16 years between charges.
