GPS reboots:

I'm on ONDEMAND with 176min/691max. GPS works fairly reliably with the screen on... I did have it reboot 3 times over the weekend. But, if I turn the screen off, it reboots pretty quickly. I'm wondering if ALL of the GPS issues are related to a drop in CPU speed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Well a logcat a kmesg or dmesg would help provide what happened but not once have I seen anyone post those for GPS reboots. Please try to learn to grab them. Helps provide the info that's needed.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
I think it makes a difference, personally. I keep my min at 352, and I don't think it makes a big difference to the battery life.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Time for a little JIT talk. Ive noticed JIT caused the market to be unavailable for me. Some other wonkiness too that I can't figure out but turning it off solved all of it. So all in all IMHO JIT isnt helping anything. Least in the 2.3.4 update. In the 2.3.3 builds it always seemed to be more efficient. Not that case anymore.

®patience is a virtue©
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quantumburnz:
I'm at 176/748 but I'm pretty sure I experienced issues at lower frequencies as well. Governor is currently on ONDEMAND as well.

Any other thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
i only ever tried JIT once and it never seemed to help more than what my phone was already doing.. so i just dropped it, no point in running something that may or may not have a benefit for me.. plus with some of the problems i have read it caused (which could be just id10t errors) i just never picked it up.. plus it just sounds dirty
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
i think he was thinking you should raise your minimum..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] motoelliot:
It does sound dirty! Your right. I've actually told my wife... "don't give me that JIT!" lol but seriously not sure how much of a difference it makes no matter what ROM I'm on...

So this is interesting... I was actually just making a call, it was ringing and then it stopped. I look at my phone and I see it disconnected b/c I'm at the home screen. I look at my phone log and it doesn't show I ever called the number I was calling, it's like it totally missed/forgot I called that number. My logcat was too large so I uploaded it to my SkyDrive, link: http://tinyurl.com/3edcxqa.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JohnPublic:
I'm still having GPS reboots at min 264. I ran the phone for a while with min 480 and still experienced them. I've had them with every release with every combination of settings that I can think of since the early march release.

I'm on a mission to get a logcat done for it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
i do wonder with these GPS reboots if it is all just coming down to lack of memory (i know this theory has been thrown around before).. but more meaning (since we have yet to see a dmesg or anything) what the people are running alongside GPS.. i have only experienced the reboot once and i was running soo much crap as well, i didnt blame it.. but if you get the reboot again (anyone really) tell us what all you had running, like even your sync schedule.. do you run any sort of memory management (autokiller), if so what are your settings.. that kind of thing.. my gut tells me that this thing is just coming down to memory.. but again this is all just assumptions until someone gets some documentation..

EDIT: also if your phone is getting like crazy hot as well, because heat could be the cause for some..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
My gps reboots are caused by overheating. Maps and nav get a lock instantly and never lose it, but the phone gets hot to the touch and ill check batt temp and it'll be 45 degrees and rising. If I dont shut off nav or hold it in front of an a/c vent it'll reboot when it gets between 50-55 degrees (duh). When I use nav, it is the only app running. For me, there is no doubt that my gps reboots are a result of the phone/battery overheating...but I assume mine is a more isolated case because I dont see people list heat as one of their gps reboot symptoms, and you would have to have ice in your veins to not notice the heat when you pick up your phone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
truth.. and i should change my post around a little bit.. because i am sure some could be because of heat.. but i know for a fact that not all are.. i remember some people saying that their phone didnt feel any hotter than usual, and like you said when this little puppy heats up, you notice.. thanks for the input though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Excellent thoughts regarding potential sync and memory management issues, dude.

I've long been a fan of SetCPU for a number of reasons, one of which is that it allows you to get a clear picture of how much run time is spent at the different frequencies. I've learned that My Tracks will run at 480mhz if I have my screen-off max set that high, so that's where I have it set. When I'm not running My Tracks, clock speed settles back to 176mhz (running ondemand). GPS reboots are not an issue for me, and I usually spend several hours at a time recording bike routes with My Tracks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oOMavrikOo:
Is it possible to use SetCPU and the Cyanogen cpu tweaks without them conflicting with each other... as long as they're both set at the same frequencies?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
What GPS program are you referring to specifically?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wwejr4540:
I run OnDemand 352/691, stock kernel, no firerats, etc. I too can run My Tracks for several hours, it allows the screen to turn off, the phone does not get hot. But when I run G-Nav, the screen stays on, the phones stays hot, and I usually get a reboot in about an hour or sometimes less. The other day, I turned the screen off for about 10 minutes with G-Nav on, and a few minutes after I turned the screen back on, I had a reboot. Also if I get a phone call while in G-Nav, that almost guarantees a reboot. I use My Tracks in remote areas so no phone calls, don't know if they would be a problem with My Tracks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
speaking of this.. is everybody else that is getting the reboot, is it with google's navigation?? or with other nav stuff as well?? since apparently my tracks seems to be working fine..

@oldjackbob is there anyway you could test google nav at some point and see if it gives you a reboot?? or have you already google and it didnt cause one for you??
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Looking at that you had a ton of dalvik vm errors. Not exactly sure to what caused the reboot but that many error logs shows something isn't playing nicely. Dunno what your vm heap size is but I'd run 32 MB. And if that doesn't help do a fresh install. Thank you for the logcat ;) trust me these help along with kmesg and dmesg.

And for the GPS reboots I'm with pstevep. I think its a memory issue also. What launcher you use and how much crap you have on your homescreens, running widgets and background apps conflict with the high demand from GPS and all errors out to a reboot. So again to help aosp figure out those reboots those of you that get em need to report them other than just saying you also got a reboot. We can't remote access your phone to fix it so he needs a little help from our end out here as users.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] wwejr4540:
Agree Matt. (on re-reading my post I thought it might sound like I was complaining; definitely not the case. I love this ROM and what it has done for my Hero.) Perhaps the main problem with details from G-Nav reboots is that they happen while driving and, at least for me, that is not a good time to try and do anything I am not really familiar with on the phone. Maybe a few of us need to bite the bullet and take instructions with us (if necessary) for logcats, kmesg, and dmesg, and ride along as navigators in order to collect the info so this bug can be squashed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hippie459MN:
Ran SpeedView for almost 2 hours on my phone the other day just to see if anything would happen and all was good and didn't really get all that hot on me. I have yet to have any GPS issues but then again I dont rely on my phone for navigation as I have a TomTom so only thing I really use my GPS for is foursquare, speedview (For in the boat and stuff for an accurate speedo), and the occasional Google maps if looking for something. I really dont like the new google maps either but thats another time and place. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
That was meant for a lot of people here man. Wasn't just directed at you sir ;)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
I'll try to remember to do that today on the way home. I'll take the scenic route and try to make the trip last for at least a half hour or so and see if I can get Google Nav to jump out the window...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
I wonder if the heat issue is caused by hacing the phone plugged in and charging at the same time? I know I see a lot more heat when I do that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] efan3719:
as far as gps reboots goes i've only had one. and that happened when i had speedview running in the background. it sat there for a few minutes then i got the reboot. has never happened other than that. though i often have trouble getting a gps lock in any gps app. :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
LOL. I just d/l Skydroid gps for a leisurely round of 18 this morning and within 5 minutes of it on I got a reboot. I was too busy lining up that 8 footer for triple bogey, so didn't get a kmesg, etc. I'll see if I can get it to reboot this evening and grab some info. Thx pstevep for leading the discussion here.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Google Nav worked flawlessly all the way home, despite my best efforts to create problems ... I'd pull into a gas station and wash my windows (twice), I'd miss my turns (bunches of times) and the app would refigure a new route in less than 5 seconds every time. I wasn't plugged into power, and the screen was always on. Voice commands were always correct. I didn't know Google Nav was so nice, lol (I don't normally use it).

My screen-on SetCPU settings are 176/576 ondemand, AutoKiller settings are 75, 20, 94 (I know, it looks strange, but it works). JIT has been running since February with zero problems. Running a2sd Beta 4.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Humm. Well you could try lowering your max to say 710 or 691 to see if that helps and try bumping your min up a little. Also do you have purge assets checked??? And do you use any apps that require gps to run in the background???

No worries. Just seems a little soon as much as a genius AOSP is. He is fixing the remaining bugs in S0be's Kernel to put in this rom, thats why

Just added picture messaging to my account. I ran a search in this thread and couldn't find how to manually enter mmsc in this rom.....any help would be appreciated ....Thanks in advance..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] quantumburnz:
Thx for the reply -- confirmed my vm heap size is 32MB. I'm using data2ext, not sure if that could have anything to do with the dalvik vm errors. I'll attempt to collect some kmesg and dmesg errors in the future too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
Lol.. of course why would it reboot when we want it too.. and honestly this may sound weird to some especially since I'm not an advocate of it, but I think jit helps out.. i will try to elaborate more tomorrow, but my mind is shot tonight.. my wife essentially layed her evo in a giant puddle of water and obviously it quit working.. so i have been dealing with that, good news is, it's working again..

These Google Nav reboots are wearing me out in a hurry with 5 multi sport kids......Fresh install of 5/16 & Dark Horse 5/16 with a full wipe. I'm running 176/748 Ondemand, JIT ebabled and 32 MB VM heap. I'm using Go Launcher EX with ony 1 home screen. The only things on my home screen are FW weather clock (weather only refreshes on screen wake) and 5 icons in the dock bar with a simple dark wallpaper.....No task killer. Background data turned off and nothing running that I'm aware of in the background. Ditched the bodyglove hard case / windshield mount for a nice little spot in the center console in front of the a/c vents and still I'm rebooting about every 25 minutes with the screen on and almost immediately when I put the screen off. Doesn't seem to matter whether I'm plugged in or not....Sorry no logcat, I don't have that kind of faith in my 11 year old co-pilot. Incidentally I don't have any problems recording my tracks with Cardio Trainer or Gaia GPS
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hippie459MN:
I have installed the latest wifi tether app and have allowed it SU permissions and now whenever I hit the start tethering it seems to think it doesnt have SU permissions and askes if I am in fact rooted.

Would anyone have a working wifi tether app or know of a working one with this rom or a way to get this one working?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
Try switching to 264/614/ondemand and enabling compcache at 18%.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hockeyfamily737:
Will try it on my way home from work in the morning. I've raised the min to 264 before, but never thought of reducing the max other then to avoid heat. Never touched the compcache before. Thanks for the suggestions.

GPS Problems

Since sometime in March we have had many GPS problem reports, myself included. Problems have been seen when using Google Nav, My Tracks, Skydroid, Golflogix, and I'm sure others I have forgotten to mention. People have tried to link these problems to JIT(not being on?), heat problems, cpu minimum speed, insufficient memory, too many open apps (same as insufficient memory?), and once again, probably lots of other possibilities. The reported problem is sometimes a fc, sometimes a reboot, or even an occasional total freeze where the battery has to be pulled. I think from this we can conclude that not any one program, or any one possible cause, is the root of the problem. Unfortunately we would have to know the state of all the above possible combinations in all the failure cases in order to definitively pin this down. I think the most logical solution is to figure out what on the rom changed in March that could possibly have caused this, albeit a setting, addition or omission of a program or piece of code, memory allocation, tons and tons of possibilities. I don't ever recall this problem being reported prior to March, or on froyo, and people were using the same programs in the same combinations, with all the different possible speed settings, etc., that they are now, so the fault (by this I don't negatively mean blame) has to lie in some change in the rom. I'm sure many will disagree with my analysis, but it's just my opinion. I personally am still restoring back to froyo when I need a stable GPS lock, but would prefer to eventually not have to.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
Very reasonable analysis, Ron. If it weren't for the stable operation with Froyo, I would have chalked this issue up to our sadly weak little Heros. I remember when GPS reboots/freezes/etc were happening earlier this year on most all GB ROMs. Engadget even reported on it. I suppose the issue may lie with the original Android 2.3 source.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rickyq12:
Will 5/31 release work with the latest release of the DarkHorse theme?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
@Ron - with that said, I do believe there are things we can do to help our phones hold onto that nonrebooted GPS lock just a little longer. I'm going to try a few things when I take an extended drive this weekend and report back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] JeffW8:
Someone will jump in if I'm wrong, but I believe the 5/31 release is for another phone? I think aosp is developing ROMs for two phones. Since this is a thread for the HTC CDMA Hero, we won't know the answer to your question (at least definitively).

SMS Broke In New Build??

I can send sms but my phone is not receiving them. Help!:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Have you edited your build prop at all? There's open gl errors that look that might be the problem. I'd try the 131072 spoof. Duce has posted it before and I know I have also so do a search or look in the wiki on how to do it. If that doesn't work try a fresh install.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonyana:
My gps success this morning

I've had the spontaneous reboot, the frozen everything battery pull and various lesser issues when using google nav. Sometimes it happens after only a few minutes, sometimes after 30 minutes. In OnDemand tried upping my minimum frequency to 352 and had my upper frequency at 729 yesterday to no avail.

This morning I set myself at 352 / 691 and ran the google nav for 40 minutes while listening to an audible audiobook through bluetooth audio on my car stereo. Things performed without a hiccup, the navigation paused the audio, made its announcements and resumed playing smoothly every time. When I would get an email notification I was able to switch to gmail, read the email and exit smoothly also.

It may just have been a lucky morning, but perhaps, in anathema to modding, not running the max frequency at overclock has resulted in better stability.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Not sure what I'm doing different than some others, but I recorded a 5-hour mountain bike ride last Sunday using My Tracks without a glitch.

I'll be glad to answer any questions about my setup if anyone wants to know. Again, I don't know what the magic trick is, but my setup seems to be reliable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Which is one of the reasons stock 2.1 doesn't run high either. Too many of us think that over clocking will be more beneficial. As stated hundreds of times here each phone is a little different and run nicely in their own ways.

®patience is a virtue©
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
If you get a chance sometime try running google nav for an extended period of time and see if it is as solid. If so we all may be copying your magic setup and run the same apps as you!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Ron I don't think it'll be that easy of a fix for you given your history with this problem but I sure hope it works.

®patience is a virtue©
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
What we need you to try is to try one of the GolfGPS apps and leave it on and see if you get the reboots many are, such as.

Free caddie

Swing by swing golf

Golf Frontier GPS Lite
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Well first someone's gonna have to teach me to play golf...

Edit: I'll try a couple of those apps for y'all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
NP come down to Florida ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
That also is where I have experienced the most problems, total freezes, predominately with Golflogix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
Well in the meantime while I am at work, I am trying Jason setup and I have the Golf gps on and will see if it reboots, usually mine reboots around 3 or 4 holes in
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
OK just got the reboot 10 minutes in, so much for that theory, lol was worth a shot

Edit: I just checked, and those settings got changed,m I know I set them to those settings in CM settings, weird, i set them again and I am rebooting to see if they change again. I may have you use Setcpu
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
OK, rebooted and settings stayed this time, turning Golf GPS back on and will report back
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Don, tell me exactly what app you're running and I'll download it and see if I can make it reboot.

Like I said, I'm not a golfer, but tell me what to do and I'll hop on the mountain bike this afternoon and see what'll she do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
Rebooted 5 minutes in
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Okay Ron, I just burnt up my phone downloading your Golflogix, lol, 10MB app!

Tell me how to use this app on my bike ride this afternoon and I'll do one lap for you, and one lap with Don's app for him.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
It happens on all 3 apps, but for now I am testing Golf Frontier Lite, download app, open find any course in your area code, then open that course up and then simply leave it there, you should be able to see the yardage on the first hole, front middle and back, leave it on and lets see if she reboots for you. this APP simple download the free version
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rickyq12:
Hey bro, it does make sense what you're saying. My phone is running great, but I was just wondering about the 5/31 update. Thanks for the response man.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Okay, I've got Golf Frontier Lite running now, but I'm seeing something really spooky on the map ... there's a bright yellow circle at my house, but I'm not at my house! I'm 4 miles from my house, and 7 miles from the golf course I downloaded.

So what the hell is the yellow circle doing at my house???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
No clue, LOL your wife is tracking you

I will post what mine looks like in a sec
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Thanks, I understand now ... I wasn't getting a GPS signal inside the building where I work, so it was using the last "fix" position it knew about, which is where I live, lol.

Now on to the good stuff ... after about an hour of waiting for something to happen, I stepped outside and the app picked up right away on my position, so I stepped back inside and two minutes later got a reboot. :eek:

So the particular app appears to have something to do with the problem, because I can go for hours on My Tracks with no problem but Golf Frontier GPS Lite didn't last two minutes.

So can anyone verify that Golf Frontier GPS Lite works on Froyo?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
The issue is the other 2 golf apps also do the same
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
I also never had an issue with all 3 of the apps on Froyo
