[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanaraya92679:
I have this issue and i'm on the latest bonsai rom. I think it is a problem with Google Nav personally because with Sprint Navigation it happens less often for me. Or Perhaps I just have a bad GPS chip. I'm going to run stock di18 for a few days and see if it is just Froyo and my Phone that bugs out. Maybe it is just my phone and I need a new one.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A_Flying_Fox:
Yeah remember google nav is still in beta form

You're better off using sprint navigation

I never lost a lock and I'm on froyo stock dk28

And sprint nav is free..I can see why people on tmo and verizon use google nav but not sprint folk lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nubecoder:
Happens to me all the time (bonsai 1.1.4).

A quick work around is to use the GPS toggle in the notification area.

Disable it long enough for it to say it lost GPS, enable it finds it quickly (for me), but it's hella annoying.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanaraya92679:
Update from my previous post,

Google nav worked for 20 minutes all the way home yesterday and today on my way to work it dropped out after 5 minutes then worked for another 15. I'm pretty sure this is just Google nav being buggy and Epic GPS internals are not the greatest. All in all Sprint Nav seems to be working a lot better. If you still continue to have problems try getting a replacement phone from sprint. I hear that some of the epics out there have better luck with GPS. You Could have gotten a bad one like me. WHen i've asked this question in the past on the forums a lot of people just have the big issue of not getting GPS Locks. Never see to many having the GPS drop signal issue. Everyone else's post that i've read say they have perfect GPS. Its funny because I get locks instantly but gps drops randomly like yours... so so lame.

Also try out the new Bonsai4all rom because after I've installed it i'm having a lot less GPS drops with Google Nav and i'm still testing Sprint Nav. Good Luck.

EDIT: I have been testing GPS driving to work and back home. Not one single GPS signal lost. This GPS issues might be in the past. I'm not sure if its Mammons Bonsai Rom that fixed it but If I were anyone having the same issues I would try a fresh wipe of your SD card and Odin epic back to di18, get gps signal in Google Maps, Odin to dk28- get signal in Google Maps, and CWM3.0.0.5 and then flash BOnsai. :) Good Luck
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanaraya92679:
I don't know what is in bonsai 1.1.4 rom but my gps is perfect now and it was buggy with every other rom I've tried on dk28. I've tried a lot. Midnight,viper,epic experience.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthromatt:
I had this problem all the time. It was especially bad last week when I was down in Tucson for work. It was what finally motivated me to get rid of the Epic.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercluver:
I have the same problem OP. I actually finally just posted about it today, see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=921935 and my post is #4. I still don't have a solution, but am willing to try Bonsai 1.1.4 if it would fix things...

Such an annoying problem. I haven't been trying Sprint Nav lately as it is removed in Nebula 1.0.6, but I could try adding it back in and seeing if there is any improvement...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanaraya92679:
Try the phone reset with the msl code also. Many people are having luck with it. Good luck.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mis3:
Had the same problem for weeks. So do many others, as this is on numerous threads throughout the boards (and Android Central too). On the latest Bonsai Rom (and others based on it like Midnight), they list a gps fix. Using Midnight 2.9 fixed it for me.

Also, when I was having problems, Sprint Nav worked much better than google Nav.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leatherneck6017:
The more this happens to me, the more I think it's a Google Nav problem, not a hardware/firmware problem. When it happens I see that the GPS icon in the notification bar is solid and not "searching" for a signal. That to me points to the software as the problem. Either way, it's REALLY annoying.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboFool:
I was never particularly happy with the Sprint Navigation app which is why I've avoided it. Google Nav always worked so well for me before. Also I've been trying to cut down on apps on this phone, especially carrier crap.

I may try Bonsai, although I've generally liked Quantum well enough that I didn't want to switch camps. Several people stating they're using it and not having this problem is a good trail to follow, though.

Still, pretty darn frustrating.

EDIT: All right, I just switched to Bonsai. All I can say is thank you for giving me the push to switch. I don't know about nav yet (although Maps lock was quite literally instant instead of the several seconds I wasn't too bugged by before), but the overall kernel is so absurdly faster I'm shocked. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcdavid:
Here is what happens to me. I can get a very accurate GPS lock easily. When I am navigating, however, the GPS lock drops after a few minutes of use, as if GPS were turned off. If I have just rebooted the phone, the GPS lock lasts about 15 minutes, and then it happens again. I can toggle the GPS on and off from the pull down menu to fix it temporarily. But, it keeps happening, and it gets more frequent. I've been this problem on every Froyo ROM I have tried . . . Bonsai, Nebula, etc. It is NOT only on Google NAV. It seems to be even worse on NAVIGON.

I never had these problems on Eclair. The fix on Eclair was not as accurate, but it never just dropped.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silent25r:
This only happens to me when I lose signal. Which usually means I'm out in the middle of nowhere and need my gps.

Thinking of getting a back up offline gps for this reason.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcdavid:
This is not my issue. I am in the middle of strong 4G coverage when it happens + Navigon works offline (when you have a sat lock).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iggybug:
I didn't have issues before switching to DK28/Froyo/Nebuls 1.06, but now the GPS is awful ... even after doing the MSL reset. Frustrating is an understatement.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercluver:
Google Maps 5.0.0 is the culprit

After flashing a few different roms this weekend I now don't have this issue anymore. The reason? I DID NOT update google maps from 4.5.0 to 5.0.0 and so far so good. I get super quick locks like always and I can navigate all I want and it never loses the lock. I'm using Nebula 1.0.7 right now, by the way.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nubecoder:
I'm curious if any other phones are having this issue, or if it is only Epics.

I would find it rather hard to believe that only the Epic would have this problem if it was truely related to v5.0 of gMaps.

The last couple of times I used google Nav, I did not have this issue.

Currently running Bonsai v2.0.0.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboFool:
I'm on Bonsai 1.1.4 and had an awesome week of no GPS problems. And then today it all started again.

Seems, just as I've heard from others, all fixes are temporary until some sort of cache "fills up." Ugh...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Supremespeed:
I am also on the latest Bonzai ROM and my 4G is terrible here in Miami Florida. In downtown I rarely get a lock, even outside the city my 4G is spotty and never locks on. It sucks :/
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanaraya92679:
Update to the gps issue,

I fixed it awhile ago with the bonsai 2.0 rom on ext4. The only reoccuring issue of losing GPS after a few minutes happens only when I don't have my Epic in its car mount and its sitting in my cupholder or wifes hands running gps from google nav. If i have it in the mount attached to the center of my windshield GPS is great but as soon as I grab it or move it to any other position it loses gps. :) Basically the sensor sucks and needs to be in clear Line of sight of satelites. Also this issue is not occuring on DK18. So my fix is to not touch my device once its in the car mount.... (I can still touch it but not take it out of the mount and use it which i wouldn't do anyways because i'm driving) If i lose gps easy fix is turning your gps off and on. It comes back instantly.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcdavid:
When I am losing my GPS fix it is in a mount on the center of my windshield. I still lose it all the time. I can toggle gps on and off to fix it. But, in 30 seconds, the fix is lost again. Constantly toggling GPS on and off to fix it is a pain in the ass.

Thank you for creating the thread, I considered doing it myself, but I'm a novice user.

Let's hope this new kernel is as bug free as possible.

Tks for the credit
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] max_3000:
So uh, we need someone brave to sets this sucka out.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Tomdroid:
It can get rooted, the nandroid available at the link below has it.

Repost from the CM thread:

Some guys over at the German android-hilfe.de forum did flash it and looks like it is ok:

http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...hla_u2_05-0c-0-leaked-2-2-1-final-brazil.html

There's also a nandroid hosted there.

Translated from there:

It only features the English, Spanish, Portuguese language.

Basebands need to get set for your location (e.g. using Androidiani).

APN settings need adjusting / be entered manually.

Root is possible.

OC not (yet).

Contains a bunch of new apps/tweaks, e.g. some built in battery management and a decent camera interface.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] almighty0:
is it the leaked SHLA_U2_05.0C.0 - 2.2.1 Final from brazil ?

Unlikely tbh.

Um, yes it is?

And according to the German source from above:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Neldrin:
I am still not certain about this build. We will know for sure if it is the final Brasilian release when somebody checks it for bugs.. It might be one of the test beta builds, am I right?

If it's a final release, we may expect a perfect Cyanogen ROM :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] reineruhry:
Hi,

I´m using this leaked rom, for 4 hours.

It´s really a Brazilian Rom with oficial apps from the Vivo Operator.

The new battery management looks great, with a night configuration that saves power when you´re sleeping, tomorrow morning I´ll know if it´s really work.

Looks fast, and automatically update to the new android market.

The new camera app is great.

The cellphone became hot during a call of 45 minutes, but now it´s cold. This issue really bore me, from every rom that I tried, without OC.

I used, ShadowMod version and CM version, let me see for the next few days if I´ll change it again.

Tkz,

Reiner
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cherrybombaz:
I'm using the rom too. Everything seems to be running nicely. It has the new multitouch keyboard. Overclock isn't working though; it seems pretty snappy though. Only about 150mb for apps (Of course, its filled with lots of motorola junk like Motonav, motoID, phone portal..etc.). Battery life seems great.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DiaboluZ:
Did you guys get the data/apps wiped or it is really a service version?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Beackman:
I flashed the rom too, i need to wiped to pass the M logo, now the phone are running, after the flash, i flashed the vunerable bootloader and wiped the phone. lets see how it runs.

EDIT: that's it.

this is a froyo rom from VIVO operator for Brazil.

see pic.

i have only one reboot, but i think is cuz i made something wrong.

The rom is fast, really fast.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ken0150:
ill try

i'm just flashing it, i will try it in these 3 days out of work, hope it works better :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Beackman:
Other ifo: you need to flashe the vunerable bootloader SBF to use OR in order, i have made this and enter on open recovery androidiani 3.3 and rooted the phone.

EDIT: running in stock, he's made 9.0x on linpack, i made others tests here and posta here.

Linpack@stock speed:

Quadrant@stock speed:

Overclocked 1GHZ
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
There is nothing to suggest this is final. Seeing as Motorola has been saying the ROM is all done and just waiting carrier approval for over a month now and this kernel was built only a few weeks ago suggests they are far from ready to roll out.

I mean, look at the last two versions of leaked kernels.

First; You had to reset after connecting any type of power source otherwise it would die in a few hours.

Second; Was highly unstable and crashed.

Although all the carrier branding leads me to believe we are close.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
I will try it now! Thank you guys for posting!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
Thoughs Linpack / Quadrant scores must have been run at stock speeds?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Beackman:
Yes stock speeds.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] DannyDroid:
I was getting worried then.

Would you mind running Linpack / Quadrant at 1Ghz? <3
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Neldrin:
Does SetCPU really overclock the processor? Someone wrote that overclocking doesn't work... yet..

I hope that Cyanogen mod and other froyo ROMs will take advantage of this leaked one :)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jianC:
I feel it is about the same.. The reception is the same except for the extra 15mb memory available, there really isn't a difference. It's not worth it for me giving up the danger-SPL with all the fastboot functions for the perfected SPL with only 2 options.

I used it on CM6.1-DS.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zooz11:
Hello,

I've tried to find the answer for this using search but failed..

I have Leo & it used to work with no problems.

3 weeks ago & tried to install android, tried it for a while then I formatted the SD card (full format not quick)

Since then, my device is not working correctly. It hangs a lot & most of the time the power button will not work after the device is looked as if it is turned off!! but if I call my mobile from another mobile it does not tell u that the number is not reachable & the leo will not react!!

Sometimes the device become so slow with intermittent response!

I removed the SD card, did several "task29" & installed different roms (original & cooked) but all of them they do the same!

I have no idea what to do!

Is it a virus? or what?

Hi Miniterror, chef,

Just downloaded the rom, flashed it with sspl.

First configured the email.

Then I send/received email via wifi to try...no problem

Then I send/received email via dataconnection...also no problem,

but I don't use POP3 becouse that doesn't work on mobile phones as far as I know.

With all providers I had the last 6 years, I had to use IMAP4, so select IMAP4 not POP3 when configuring email acount and also don't fotget to select (in my case) "vodafone live" and not "the internet" on internetconnection, because otherwise it wil not work.

He miniterror, is it possible to intergrate latest CHT in to this ROM and also make it possible to change the background of all tabs? And I like your lockscreen picture of the gasmask, can you put that in as well to freely select?

with kind regards
