Question guys, has the gps issue been in all CM7 builds? Used Google Navigation for about 45min today, kept lock all the way through. Used it yesterday too. On RC1 and using ota radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
Dam, I just did it again. Forgot to wait before turning screen off...lost my call lol.

I did they ever bring back the feature which locked the screen buttons during a call?

I cant find it, if they did. One more reason why I liked MIUI :mad:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
No, it only popped up in the nightlies some time after RC1.

However, there seems to be a workaround that makes Navigation keep the lock =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
Did you get the installer from the official Swype web site? (meaning that you have an account for the beta). If it's the case, as suggested before, try doing a fix permission. I did not have to do it, but it won't hurt to try.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nooge9:
For the Swype licensing issues, all I did was:

Manage Applications -> Swype

then Force stop and Clear data

Then I opened the Swype Installer and then I licensed with no issues (I didn't have to download anything either!)

Bummer is that I lost my dictionary...but oh well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Not sure if this is known but, I was typing a message in landscape (keyboard out) when a call came in and the screen was all jacked up.

The incoming call screen was off-centered to the left (contact image, name, etc. even the swype to answer bar)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
yup. I noticed that as well... just never cared, hah.

GPS working fine using build 151 for me. Try GPS toolbox.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
GPS has always worked fine.

The problem is if you're using Navigation (and only Navigation, other GPS apps won't have this problem), then after a couple minutes during a trip, it'll lose GPS lock.

Going through Maps+Get Directions before jumping to Navigation seems to work around the problem though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
I have been updating to the newest nightly everytime it gets released and use Google Navigation almost every day, and it never looses GPS lock. I've been monitoring this issue, and could never duplicate it. I've reflashed other roms and flashed back, tried all sorts of ways to duplicate this issue, but can't.

You and the other guys having this issue, while others are not, my question is - there has to be some common denominator that ties all you GPS unlocking issue folks together, what is it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
What gapps version did you flash lawalty?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thugjedi:
Is anyone else having issues with setcpu temperature profiles.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] choppa26:
Running Build #151 2.3.5. can't figure out whats new. But no problems here and set cpu is fine and GPS.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Have you done a wipe ever? I suspect if you've been consistently flashing over then maybe a driver or something is carried over each time and allowing the GPS functionality to continue to be good.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
Next RC, everybody runs a logcat and posts on the tracker.

To the guy having issues with the installer, you did sign up for beta swype correct? Stupid question, but I didn't see you mention it in a post.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Seems like were getting back to the nightlies being a toss up if they are actually gonna come every night :( that's paprt of my morning routine like drinking coffee or smoking cigaerettes. Something is just off if I don't feed the crack flashin addiction.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mralexsays:
I was having this exact same issue on nightly 148 through nightly 151. I was on radio 12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03. I tried with and without ril-matching and still had the issue. I downgraded to radio 12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26 and the issue went away (I didn't ril-match, I'm just using the ril libraries that are included in CM.) FWIW, I've tried lots of radios, but the best for me seems to be 12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
It is 20110613 which i select to download the latest gapps version everytime I update the CMD Nightlies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
I flashed 3.02.26 and wiped the cache. At first it looked like everything was solved but after about 10 minutes, I lost lock again.

It does seem to work a lot longer before losing lock =/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mralexsays:
Grr-you are right, I just didn't wait long enough.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Yesterday, I flashed back to stock froyo (rooted) and then reflashed back to CMD nightly #151, and I use Google Navigation on a daily basis, hours at a time, and mine seem to lock on very quickly and stay locked on.

My device, through Navigation, locks on very quickly and stays locked on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spovat:
Is it just me or is the swype install method extremely unreliable... The fact that we routinely have to either clear data or reinstall means we lose our saved words and predictions database and have to start all over. I love swype more than any other kb i've tried but it's very disappointing to have to start all over so often. Does anyone foresee a final product coming out any time soon that will not develop these licensing issues? Or maybe I'm overlooking a feature that backs up your word library?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mralexsays:
Lawalty, would you mind telling us what radio you use and run the command "ls -la /system/lib/*ril*" on your phone so we can see what ril files you have? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Since my 'radio' is not giving me any issues, i do not want to run any commands. But, will give you my radio. How can I look this up without running any commands? I can't find it in settings/about phone/?? or somewhere else?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mralexsays:
Yep, settings-about phone-baseband version. Do you use any ril-matcher? If not, then the stuff in /system/lib/ should be the default so that is what will assume. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
i do not use any ril-matcher or anything similar, so the files listed in /system/lib/ (which are many) should be same as default.

I have included a screen shot of my 'About Phone' settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] looking-g:
well have to say the #151 is the best i have ever used its fast furious and stable keep on the good work sometimes and only in ggogle nav you have to switch of gps and then restart no probs in navigon so i am happy with the release
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mralexsays:
Thank you Lawalty. One more question - do you use the maps live wallpaper?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
No. I don't use any live wallpaper. Even though it might be just in my mind, I don't anything slowing my device down.

I don't use any map widget, location widget either. The only other app I use that uses my GPS is "SportsTracker Pro" which I also use on a daily basis. It records my real location LIVE in real time when I ride my bicycle. That also uses the GPS function and keeps a good lock.

When I use Google Navigation, I do not use or even have SportsTracker Pro running. I use a little app called 'ActiveApp' which stop unneeded apps running when I don't want them to run.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mralexsays:
Thanks for the info, it's much appreciated. I'm out of ideas as to what to try so that those of us with the issue can fix it. During all of this, I even tried a full wipe and that didn't help any.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
I'm still thinking that there's something that is carried over if we upgrade flash over a build that will make Navigation maintain the GPS lock. This is covering up the problem in the current nightlies. By doing a superwipe, this is revealed.

IIRC, RC1 didn't have problems. I'm going to flash back to RC1 and upgrade directly to the latest nightly tonight and see if the GPS issue goes away.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
I like your logic, plz report back.

Also since the maps update its now top app in my partial wake and I think its eating my battery. Uninstalled for now..

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Update is fine for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
What specific reason are you having to wipe data? Any time that you want to uninstall you could always backup data with titanium backup and reinstall. Unless for some reason this method is going to backup the error too and just keep the error when you reinstall it. In that case, not sure what to tell you.

I havent heard anything about Swype coming out of Beta, but then again I dont follow it too closely.

I've been using Swiftkey X and it works pretty darn well. Tried Swype and it wasn't really my fav.

gps is broken again, either in this build or with every single app that uses the gps.

gpsstatus = no lock

navigation = of course, broken after 20 seconds

maps = never even tries

what gives ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
GPS Status got me 8/8 in a few seconds

Maps put me within 10' of my location in 8sec.

Latest nightly, stock radio, pershoots kernel; I've never done the EFS wipe or used the RIL matcher and the only time I've done a full wipe was when I first flashed CM
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
When I think about it, a lot of my gps problems came after I did the full efs superwipe etc.

For now I still get locks nearly instantly on 151. It's just Navigation that loses lock after some minutes.

Those of you loosing GPS lock, have you tried: turn off GPS, and turning it back on using the status-bar power widget? That usually "resets it" for me if it gets into some weirdo wedged state.

Alternatively, never had the same issue with external GPS through Bluetooth GPS Provider.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] olearyp:
We're back down to one buildslave, and vision is almost the last to build, so a bit later. But it's between 0300Z with both buildslaves and 0600Z on just jeagoss'. If we lost jeagoss and were stuck with ctso's, it'd be closer to 0730Z, based on the relative build times.

Scheduled builds kick off at midnight UTC. At that point, you will see a line show up under "Pending builds:" on the builder page. Since the buildslaves have a lot of work to do (what with all the supported architectures), and due to a general lack of buildslaves, it takes a while to get the pending build through the queue.

The only way there's no nightly at all is if the tree is broken when the build finally starts.

Navigation GPS Loss Issues Solved

I was having the issue where GPS worked fine, except in Navigation (it would work for a few minutes then just say "searching for GPS.") Here is the fix that worked for me:

1. Read the thread at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1028405 thoroughly. Understand what the efs data wipe procedure does and the risks involved before proceeding.

2. Download the Vision_RADIO_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26 radio PC10IMG.zip file from the thread at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970809. (Again, read the instructions in the first post to fully understand the procedure and risks involved.)

3. Flash the latest nightly CM7 - DO NOT MESS WITH THE RIL FILES AND DO NOT USE A RIL MATCHER.

4. Perform the efs data wipe (either method.)

5. Flash the radio file.

This is what fixed it for me, your mileage may vary. I use the stock CM7 kernel and do not overclock or otherwise modify any of the system files. Post back if you try this and let us know if it does or doesn't work for you. With any luck, this will solve the issue for everyone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
As mentioned in a post earlier, I had tried exactly that and it only _appeared_ to fix the problem until it lost lock when in Navigation for over about 10 minutes. It wasn't a definitive fix =(
