Anyways...back to the civil Gps discussion....

My Gps stopped working at RC1 which was a bummer because i wanted to run RC1! I was able to push an older (#1) gps.vision.so file and was able to get Gps working, although the Gps icon would stay stuck in the top bar....So i reverted back to #1 and have been SUPER pleased with the performance of this rom. #11 came out and i thought i would try to flash it and see if anything changed in terms of Gps , (Really the only Problem) Flashed #11 and Gps icon would never come up, Gps status would sit there all day looking for coordinates...Etc...No good...

I read a couple people flashing the new radio and gps functioning...So i gave it a try...Flashed #11 again then flashed the new radio through the bootloader....

Instant Lock, icon appears and disappears properly etc....Seems like the Radio fixed it for me....Its THE ONLY CHANGE i have made....

I wiped my battery stats and re-calibrated my battery and everything seems back to normal. As for the show of hands about the radio, I've never had gps problems and I'm not using the new radio. I guess I could be counted as one of the lucky ones. I get lock in maps down to about five meters before the time the map itself finishes loading.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jomaxwel:
I have an issue with google sync. It seams as though I lose sync fairly often and it takes a while for it to reconnect. I have noticed it in almost all the nightlies and more so in RC1 and later. Some times it will takes seconds and others minutes. I lose sync every time I switch data sources and some times just when phone is sleeping. Is this normal? Should I lose sync for minutes at a time?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Is that even English?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
The fact that the new radio is somehow fixing the GPS problem for some people is even more distressing than the original problem of the GPS not functioning properly to begin with.

I have the new radio. I've had it since before the trouble began (the second time) at build 6. I have to flash an older (build 4/5) gps.vision.so file to have a functioning GPS. If I don't flash the file, it takes the phone over 2 minutes to see 6 satellites, and it can't get a lock. Once I flash the older gps.vision.so, it sees 9 satellites within seconds and gets a lock. That alone tells me that there's really no question as to what the problem is, since that was the file that got changed in build 6 that caused the problem to occur in the first place.

I don't think the issue itself is a mystery, because the gps.vision.so file has been established as the culprit for quite some time now. I do think it's odd that the new radio has fixed the problem for some people.

RC2 coming soon...

It looks like we're going to get the 'profile notification support' merged soon along with RC2. Found this quote made yesterday by Cyanogen:

"The code looks and works great and I want to merge this before RC2 which will be in the next few days."

So what was this commotion about the Theme Chooser being gone on the latest nightly? Is it there?

Also, any major bugs with Nightly #11? I don't want to boot to a crippled ROM... again...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
It's there. ROM is fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] supermario12312:
Thanks :D I appreciate the quick response.

I'll never forget the day when I flashed a broken ROM on my old MyTouch Slide..... *shivers*
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Wow, thats a great, extensive feature. Martin did a hell of a job, over 2200 lines of code!:eek:

I like this quote: ".....and let the nightly folks find the bugs." :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrien1977:
For those that updated to the new radio and #11, did you replace the ril libs as well on top of the #11 or left the one found #11?

I've been testing back and worth the new radio with libs/no libs and #6 and had worse signal with new radio downtown chicago.

I used to almost never see Edge, and with the new radion and libs i would see it a loottt more.

When i updated to #11, i had the newest radio, and updated the libs. Bad news.

I am now back with fresh 11 and stock radio.

If you guys tell me that you did not update the libs, but have the new radio with better signal i will update again.

As far as GPS, i agree with some, i am able to lock to the GPS inside, closed to the window. I never had that. That's awsome
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gwar24:
I'm on my phone so it's kind of a pain to try to look for this but i have 2 questions.

1. is the gps working in #11 or do i need to do something to make it work? Im on 4 now and don't want to lose it.

2. could someone please tell me where i can get the new radio and how to put it on my phone?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
I've been on the new radio but without the new libs. However, I've not seen any improvement at all over the stock radio.

The only reason I haven't flashed back is because there wasn't any notable differences so I didn't want to risk another radio flash (I was lazy and used the PC10MG.zip method).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Yeah, that's the purpose of the nightlies... something some folks don't seem to realize.

Don't know where Sven got 4k lines of code though. Its 2232

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
It's been established that there are 2 distinct GPS issues at play:

1. slow to lock or won't lock - this happens when you actually see the GPS symbol in the notification bar, can see satellites using GPS Status, but don't get a lock. This could be due to any number of issues, including a radio-related one.

2. no GPS at all - this is when you don't even get the GPS symbol in the notification bar, ever. I had this on the RC1, as did a number of other people. I'm on Nightly #4 and it works fine, but apparently different people get it on different builds.

I said the second time. RC1 is known as the first time. Everybody had working GPS on build 4.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bwilborn:
This line sticks out for me: "This has been on dumb Nokias for years, I'm surprised a single smartphone doesn't have it yet."

YES! Yes, yes, yes. I use a widget to accomplish this for volume, it will be nice to have this, plus the ability to modify other parameters and put them into a profile.

Another Nokia thing that I'd like to see is contact profiles (say Work, Friends, Family, etc.) I hate having to go through each contact and reset the ringtones and whatnot for each person, when I use a common tone for a specific type of group. It would also be nice to set a specific vibrate pattern for a group too.

Anyway, just my $0.02.

So I see that #11 is Android 2.3.3
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Yup
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hogg2500:
So far the GPS works great. I left GPS Enabled on 6.1.1 before I flashed to build 11. Now I just need to make sure that when the screen goes black during calls that I don't get dropped calls.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jojo_16:
Got some issues regarding drop calls, using the old libhtc_ril.so 500+kb file size whenever calling or receiving a phone call its just drops my signal I search a fix for this bug and from wat I read is change it to a new libhtc_ril.so 484kb file size and now I got some few dropped calls and sometimes when I call my data is dropped signal is grayed anyone having this issues with the 484kb size? I'm using a G2 CM7 Build 8

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Guys, there's been no change to the GPS in build 11.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crashVoodoo:
Really odd thing has just happened. I downloaded #11 into the download folder as normal and also download a gps fix zip posted a page or 2 back thinking that even if the gps is still broken I can get it working again.

I flashed #11 and it booted up but as has been said, gps still b0rked. So using rom manager a told it to flash the gps fix. It rebooted into recovery, flashed the file then got stuck on the htc screen. Pulled battery and manually entered recovery and all zip files but the gps fix have disappeared. I #s 1 to 8 in ther and they're gone. Had to manually flas the old RC1 that was in the clockworkmod folder.

This happened to anyone else?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] quierotacobell:
12 is out, go download lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Anyone else just seeing #2 - #8 in ROM Manager? I've cleared my cache, rebooted, tried with WiFi on and off, still nothing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
There's a couple people saying that. I get the same thing but I've just been using the mirror site. The only change I've noticed in the past couple days has been the addition of MIUI.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Yeah, that showed up the other day; a bit confused as, from what I understand, all it does is check an external link. Posted here in hopes a dev knows anything about URL/IP changes that may have happened (I know the buildbot site is/was a 404 for a bit).

I spent 40 minutes playing n.o.v.a today in the train and did not notice anything weird..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nycjv321:
...

So last night I flashed from 8 to 11... and it kepted on cycling the boot screen... I had to wake up at 5 in the morning too :P. I went into recovery reflashed over both like 5 times... kepted on doing the cycling. I then formated everything I could, except the sdcard. I finally got it to work, but flashed gapps and then it happened again???? I downloaded an upgraded version of gapps and mounted the phone in recovery. Reflashed 11 + the latest version of gapps. Everything works. Except the GPS. My phone acts as if I have a gps device but like its never on. MyTracks, Navigation, etc... etc... never send signal through gps???

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
It seems ever since I flashed the new radio (26.04.02.17_M2) my GPS icon comes on now after flashing nightlies. Yay.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kalipedia:
I have stock radio with the gps problem (currently patched via previously discussed methods) and am curious to try the new radio but have two questions: which method did you use to get the new radio, and did you do anything extra with the lib files? I'm sure your answers will not only help me, but will help others diagnose why the new radio would affect gps. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
The easiest method to get the new radio is to download it from the thread here on the forums and place it on your sdcard in .zip format....you basically have the file named to a specific name and then you boot your phone into bootloader and it will pick up that you have that file on your sdcard and automatically flash the new radio....

To go back you would do the same exact thing except replace the .zip with the radio you had before. There is a thread that has all the radios in .zip format so that you can flash them automatically through bootloader.

Doesn't get much easier than that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] maxvi8:
Good news! I was one of the users that had problems with GPS module in the latest cm7 nightly builds.

Now i've flashed the latest radio module from this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970809), named "Vision_RADIO_12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27".

After that i reflashed build #12 (without any gps module fix) and now GPS module works! And it connects also faster than before! :)

I hope that it helps you.

P.S.: Before flashing radio module I had this version: "Vision_RADIO_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26", and with that GPS module didn't work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OFinch:
chris2busy:::: I used your download link you posted to fix GPS but the I got a seriously loop.. it wouldn't leave past the HTC screen after flashing that file.. so I had to pretty much just flash the rom and gapps and kernal all over again..BUT GPS works after I did all that.. hmm weird.. don't want to attempt to flash that file again cause that was a crazy loop.. not even a loop, a NOT leave the HTC screen which was scary for a while.. I'm not affraid of a bootloop lol.. I thought I wasn't going to be able to go to recovery. but everything works, about to flash 12 and see if the GPS still works.. did you get that when you flashed that zip
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spovat:
I wasn't implying it was due to the nightly...rather the combination with flashing the new radio. if you read some of the previous posts you would see that discussion

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Should have read this thread before I installed the gps lib file from Build 4 on Build 12. I installed the newest radio this morning, so I theoretically would have had GPS without replacing the file.

I have that same issue too; somehow my phone loses the connection with Google account once in a while. But I waited couple minutes and it reconnects. No biggie but if it happens more often then it is an issue.

Btw, you should sensor your emails address when posting screen posts.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jomaxwel:
Yeah most the time it will fix its self but that time I had to switch airplane mode to get it back. Thanks for the advice about my email. I would hope on a dev site like this there would be a respect for fellow members. But like they say one bad apple.

I used fastboot flash method, it required me to install eng hboot. Fastboot flash method instructions is in the thread with all the radio versions.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Web501:
I've been having the GPS issue also. Using the GPS from a previous version always worked for me. I've read the comments about v11 and the new radio and decided to try it for myself. Installed the new radio, installed v11, fixed permissions and restarted. Worked for me. Hopefully it'll continue to work. Thanks to everyone for the great info in this forum!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
Not having any GPS issues as stated previously, I upgraded to the latest radio 26.06.02.27_M and still have no GPS issues. I did the flash method.

I do have better reception now!

Build #12 fine here, with pershoots latest 2.6.32.30 and modules for cifs. Came from #5, luckily gps is still ok.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
I wonder what the root cause of this is though. I remember on the MyTouch3G Slide, even when people manually entered their number, apps like Tikl would still not work since it couldn't detect there number or something along those line.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kalipedia:
+1. I flashed the new radio, then flashed #12 and gps is all good. So, new radio seems to offer a solution that sticks, which is nice. I didn't want to do the manual patch after each new nightly!

New separate issue though - does anyone else using swype have issues with functionality after flashing recent nightlies? When I highlight a word to get the pop up selection window, the android system edit controls kick in on top of the swype window and then nothing works. Never had this issue in previous builds.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
I'm running the newest Swype beta and everything is fine. I'm on build 11, though.

Flashed #12. (FYI I always flash manually, by downloading to PC, copying to root of SD, and then trough recovery, flash GAPPS after that, no wipes whatsoever)

GPS took a bit longer to get a fix then on #11 but its working OK with CoPilot.

Radio: see sig. I noticed that there a small differences in the type of radios people are posting. Especially in the letters in between the numbers. For example I have |eU| before the segment _26 where others have |fU|. Also some difference after 28, some have |h| I have |b|. I don't know if this applies for different countries or so, and if this has anything to do with the GPS issues, I do not have the knowledge for that.

Run terminal emulator from your phone and as long as you have a valid gps.vision.so file on the root of the sd card use these commands....

su

cd /system/lib/hw

mount -o remount,rw /system

cp /sdcard/gps.vision.so .

chmod 644 gps.vision.so

chown root:root gps.vision.so
