Hey BT...I think I may have been one of the lucky few that has a working GPS, is there any advantage to running your GPS fix, or should I just leave it be?

By the way, for anyone interested, I have been running 2.6 in an area with poor to average signal, probably medium usage (a few calls, texting and internet to check the forums to see when I get to flash again :)) and so far at 18 hrs with 58% battery left.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
You can keep running it if its working... but if it ever stops, at least you know there's a way to fix it :)

MY GPS is still not working. Then again, my GPS has never worked even on stock unrooted. I may just have a defective GPS radio.
[Epic 4G Android Development] f4systems:
GPS fix seems to be working well for me. I got a 60 feet accuracy indoors during a rain storm, which normally would have resulted in it not being able to lock at all. Using GPS test what I notice is after the fix It uses more of the satelites that are in view. Before I would have like 6 Sats in view but it would only use like 3. Now it is usually using all the sats it can see. By the way that is with just GPS active(no network or sensors). Update: now I am at 32 feet still indoors and raining.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Flashing the modem will update the phone's baseband to DK17, which will in turn update to the newest version of the radio firmware. This will simply get you up to date with the latest fixes for upload/download speeds, as well as a few more.

To add the Sprint apps back in, you can grab them from a stock DK17 ROM such as the one from k0nane. Either put them into the "system/app" folder inside of the ViperROM .zip and flash or make your own .zip with just those apps, or use adb to push them to system/app on the phone and then reboot.

[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
2.7 is a beta test ROM ...it's not meant for everyday use ...and no, you don't need hotspot to run mobileap ...mobileap replaces the hotspot.

Can you post your working MobileAP.zip for DK17? Or is it something specific to your 2.7+ roms?

I tried to do the ##GPSCLRX# and entered the MSL, then confirmed clearing GPS but then the screen just went to black with GPSCLRX title on top. I don't know if it fixed it or if i did it correctly but when i tried to run nav (btw it didn't uninstall nav, dunno if it worked right) it still couldn't find gps. I even installed the gpsfix.zip BTthomas gave us.

Did I do something wrong?

Running 2.6

EDIT:

Oh and the [*#1472365#] (gps setup) dialer code doesnt work for me, everything else seems to work but that one. Should I reflash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yeah, re-flash then download "Google Maps" from the market, and it will install the maps as well as google navigation. That's what i use and i'm having no issues with GPS. Give that a try?

This is great..... Thank you.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayabusa1300cc:

[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
What's the dif between hotspot and Mobile AP? Does hotspot send a signal to Sprint that you are using infrastructure AP and therefore charge you?
[Epic 4G Android Development] imwillzillla:
Not complaining in any way but can we get a proper unlock/lock sound for AOSP? when it unlocks it sounds like you've made an error on Windows 95 or something. Just something little I assume and wont lose any sleep if it isn't there.

EDIT and by the way, GPS fix FTW! Locks easy inside of a frickin brick building!

For now im keeping stock rom for the mobile ap from jr.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
honestly i'm not sure of BT's source for MobileAP but i know he almost has it working 100%
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
If we had a working mobile ap thats infrastructure on a non stock rom that would be great, either JRS or sprint modified would be so tight.

If anyone that knows whether this mobile ap is free or infrastructure let me know thanks. :)

it will be free and infrastructure.Im guessing it will be based or smiliar to that of the i9000 from Jr33

Awesome rom, though the mp3 ringtones issue is present in your rom. Could you possibly fix that and make the theme simply an add-on?

anyone have any screenshots of what it looks like? I just want to know where it came from and its working on deodexed rom WOW!!!

So other than 2.7 being a "test rom" what's the difference? I'm new to android and don't understand a lot of what is being defined :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] sav42:
It means it's an alpha release and no effort to get rid of the bugs has been made. If you're not sure you absolutely want to run it, don't. It's best to wait until some form of QA has processed the rom to ensure that it's at a bare minimum of reliability before flashing your phone.

Unless, of course, you don't need your phone to be functional and you're willing to test the rom for bugs; in that case, go nuts!
[Epic 4G Android Development] algorhythm:
heh, my 9-5 is software QA so what the hell.

I guess I'll just flash 2.6.

Thanks :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sav42:
Yeah, I did QA for Cisco for years. I have been half tempted to write up test cases for basic functionality to run through before a ROM gets published. But I got a 9-5 and a family, no time for a second gig :p

Thanks for ur response, I installed the one I had from somewhere, and when I rebooted they disappeared off home screen. But.... I put them back and it hasn't done that again. So I guess I was wandering, if you had a zip we are supposed to use with ur ROM.

I'm not sure of any "fix" for non-working keys, other than getting a replacement from Sprint.

wanted to say I'm pretty impressed with this rom although personally the theme is not for me. but everything works except the camera issue inherent to all. is there plans to put the camera fix in?

other than that, it seems kind of laggy, maybe I'm doing something wrong? i flashed the stock icons, baked lag fix and gps fix although I've never had a problem with gps.

finally, is there anyway to stop the animation when going to the apps?

I originally did the 2.7 as I didn't realize it was for testing, it worked pretty well too although display settings FCed everytime but I'm sure that has been mentioned here.

I had not turned on 4G for nearly a month when I tried the mobileAP, and I didn't try it again for at least a week or two after, so the only reason I think they could have been related is because someone else had the same problem - not definitive proof, lol
