GV 2.8 GPS don't work...

My GPS does not work ... :o

I turn it on, but provides no data ... :(

I looked some old post, but i have not found working tips ... :rolleyes:

I have tried to:

- change some ril (working with 2.7)...

- change the kernel with the old 2.7...

- put old \system\lib\hw\gps.bravo.so from 2.7...

UPDATE:

The mattmanwrx's solution works ( put old \system\lib\hw\gps.bravo.so from 2.7 ),

but it must be insert into the rom and then flash the rom:

Look in the market for the apps GPS Test and GpsFix, they helped me to fix GPS when I had problems in older versions of GV or the Stock ROM before GV.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
GpsTest... nothing (no satellites in view)

GPSFix... after 15 minutes of fixing... no fix...

it seems that GV 2.8 can not communicate / activate the GPS module ... :confused:

With GV 2.7, same Radio and RIL, all works :o
[Desire Android Development] joakimberglund:
What i did when i had that problem was..

Gps test - menu - settings - clear agps then reboot
[Desire Android Development] Smii:
I'm currently using the latest version of Ginger Villain and loving it - really good so far. I'm enjoying the fresh stock android experience, after spending ages on Sense and giving Miui a spin (didn't enjoy a lot of that one).

Ever since flashing Ginger Villain (Or possibly Miui, as I didn't test it...) my bluetooth doesn't work.

If I try and turn it on, it says "Turning on..." and then after a short delay it just says "Turn on Bluetooth" (where it's cancelled turning it on)

I've flashed the latest radio.img to the phone and that hasn't made a difference. Any ideas?

Aaaallso, while I'm here, since flashing this new ROM my USB interface seems to have gone up the swanny. If I turn OFF USB debugging, I can get it to be recognised as a mass storage device but it won't show up in My Computer (only in device manager) and isn't loading properly. If I turn ON USB debugging, Windows says "This device has malfunctioned and can't be recognised." and it won't work at all. ADB Shell reports it as a present device but asleep/inactive or whatever terminology it uses.

What on earth is going on there? I guess it might be worth uninstalling all the Android drivers from my PC and putting them back on?
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I have tried it, but nothing change ... :o

Hi There, just wanted to ask is this normal:

recently partitioned my sd card, (i thought a new partition for a new gingervillain :cool: )

so all installed and running great. last job was to move my music back from PC to my sd card. plugged my phone into pc with usb cable and started transferring files.

after transferring just a few songs the Mass storage button would turn off and i'd lose my connection. so i'd have to do it again, and again etc. also i was getting write speeds of about 500KB/s. i gave up.

i pulled the card out, put it in my new little usb microSD card reader, plugged it in. transferred the entire music collection in 1 go at a speed averaging around 8000KB/s

should i be getting the same speed going down the cable as using a reader ? or are those different speeds normal?

Also why do you think it keeps disconnecting ? an app somehow interferring with the mass storage and turning it off ?

many thanks
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Write speeds are bad with newer .38 kernels. Could be another app doing it, not too sure...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Not hard to fix... should be that thread...

It usually happens when using Rom.manager. don't use it... :)
[Desire Android Development] Smii:
Never used rom manager!

I /was/ using Gingerburst but something went awry at random and it bricked itself. I managed to work it all back to having everything functioning again, apart from apparently the bluetooth and this USB issue. I'll follow the instructions in that thread and report back!

Any ideas on the bluetooth problem mentioned above?

Thanks for all your help, chaps :)
[Desire Android Development] kevmeister46:
ok, thanks for the reply, im not too worried as i rarely need to transfer large amounts of data, i was just interested to see why there was such a big difference.

cheers

[Desire Android Development] leader288:
sorry but it happens on 3g and hsdpa too. does anyone else notice that?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Nope, I agree with bunny bash. I just turned off WiFi, connected to hsdpa (h in status bar), made a call and h was in status bar the whole time... :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It's usually Rom manager... sorry for the assumption :)

I think there may be a Bluetooth problem in 2.8, which weren't in 2.7. I know one user is using 2.7 ad they need Bluetooth for their car.. all of richardtrips work is found here... http://xda.richardtrip.org/
[Desire Android Development] :
There is no fix so far. You need to wait for an update!
[Desire Android Development] Smii:
I vaguely recollect Bluetooth not working with Miui either, and is listed as a problem with USB bricking...is it perhaps related or are you saying it's a known bug with GingerVillain 2.8? I must confess I don't really use Bluetooth all that much so it's not a game breaker for me, but it's nice to know it'd work if I needed it.

I'm getting segmentation faults trying to un-USB brick my device using these instructions (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691639) ...any ideas? I've asked in there too, but I'm covering all the bases!

Thanks for all your help guys; this community is truly one of the most helpful out there. You guys rock! :D
[Desire Android Development] :
Well actually my phone just wouldnt connect to my BT headset. Connection to laptop worked just fine... But Richard is aware of that problem and will fix it when he is back ;)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
use these instructions found here - http://android.modaco.com/topic/309939-usb-brickrickrolledb0rked-fixed/ - the thread you are in doesnt mention the SD Card Fix - Which is needed too... :)
[Desire Android Development] Smii:
Well neither method seems to have worked but it looks like it's fixed now? I also used USBDeview to wipe out the drivers it'd left behind "incomplete" from the failed installations.

I'll get right back on it if it stops working again...! ;)

Thanks for the Modaco link, I suspect it was that that really fixed it. It just didn't realise it'd been fixed, perhaps...

Headphones stopped working

I updated to GV2.8, and out of nowhere my headphones stopped working. ive tried different headphones/speakers, but its like my phone never picks up that the headphones are plugged in. the icon doesnt pop up anymore, and the sound wont go through the headphones at all. Ive tried wiping w/ and w/o wiping dalvik and etc's.

any suggestions??

Edit:

Realized that now my Flash will not work, and i think b/c of that my camera app wont even start. im going to assume this is all hardware bc downgrading to GV2.7 hasnt solved anything.

In the process of unrooting, and im probably going to bring it back to telus bc im still under the 1yr warranty. hopefully i can get this fixed somehow
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
This solution works. ;)

Only thing, the file in question (which I enclose in zip format, for ease of someone else)

must be entered

in the rom and then flash the rom

...

Overwrite the file with root explore, does not work directly.

Attached file MD5 ( 08b2e5fe61c402d088c7871a472526f6 )

Usb brick will not let the phone see computer... also needed is the SD card fix, and I'm.sure the phone .won't boot if there is no SD card... it could be com port on computer, are there others to use?

I have had dodgy usb cables from eBay that only work in certain ports, even though the official HTC one works in all ports...

[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:

For me it is slightly better - I think :)

The problem is that this not right for everyone - in my case my phone has mostly good 3G signal. But if you live somewhere with bad signal strength or travel much the case is totally different.

So the general advise is: test it out for yourself :D

Hi Mattman, every time I install the bluefrost theme updates from market, market force closed. Is this normal? I had it deactivated for a moment and then realized that desire without bluefrost is absolutely not acceptable for my eyes ;)

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Thanks for support :) its nice to know people use it...

Yes this is normal (happens with other themes too, I think). It is cos the market is themed, so theme chooser tries to redirect the colours, but as it has "just been installed" it force closes. This is why I state a reboot is necessary, as if you get a phone call, phone.apk will force close before u even.see who is calling... :)
[Desire Android Development] Smii:
You know, the more I look at this the more I begin to realise that it might be something else entirely...

It /does/ work, but intermittently. If use USBDeview to remove the usb drivers (the autoinstalled ones) for everything mentioning HTC, it'll work. Usually until unplugged again. Sometimes debugging stops it working, sometimes it won't work without debugging.

If I unplug or restart the computer, chances are it'll stop working. Is this Windows behaving strangely or the device behaving strangely? I don't think it's a USB brick as I can get contact with the device...fastboot usb has always worked (even with other bits not) and ADB devices shows two devices with identical IDs.

This is a funny one!

Thanks for all your help so far. :)
[Desire Android Development] derlotse:
This explains a lot .. :rolleyes: next time I read & follow the instructions! :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
A good way to check.is to try it on another computer... if it does the same thing then it is the device playing up, if not then it is the computer...

No matter what drivers are being used it should still connect to usb, that is the generic usb driver...
[Desire Android Development] bluzermajstor:
I always wipe everything, sometimes do a partition again... it's always the best method to see how rom works. When just updated sometimes you get stuck with old corrupted files...
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I have reboot... and done a "fix permission" from recovery... i have forget something? :rolleyes:

However now it works :D

it should be better than the previous... :D

I hope that Richard fix the little bug in this new file, that not give coordinates to the GPS apps... ;)

Probably i am unlucky... i know it... :D

I have overwritten it several times with Root Explorer and then reboot...

But after that, the GPS app crash :p

Hi,

this post is a little off-topic. I own a HTC Desire (with Ginger Villain ROM) as well as a not rooted HTC Desire HD.

Since i live in germany i am one of the lucky guys who has catched a google music invitation. For my rooted Desire its no problem to fix the market to be an US Market to get the Google Music app.

Nevertheless, this dont works for my non rooted HTC Desire HD. Now it comes to my question:

Is the google music apk stored anywhere on my HTC Desire and can i port it manually to my Desire HD?

Thanks for your help.

Yes it is possible, but try this first...

On the desire HD, go to market and search for market enabler... or click here https://market.android.com/details?id=ch.racic.android.marketenabler and it makes the market think u are in US and gives an open market... if that doesn't work, pm me to keep it out of thread.... :)

I just checked the volume and none of them seem to change this sound. So don't think it is that...

Nope. Make a nandroid, wipe, flash some non-data++, non-a2sd ROM, run revolutionary and restore your backup. That worked for me.
