[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crashVoodoo:
I'm using a UK Desire Z and thought everything was fine up until #5. Since this build the GPS hasn't worked. Tried 6 and then 7 but didn't work. I've flashed 4 back on and its working again. Seems what ever was commited for GPS from build 5 onwards has nerfed it.

Staying with 4 until the issue is solved. Which isn't a problem as I don't seem to have a single other problem.

I don't wipe caches anymore, just flash and then fix permissions via ROM Manager upon boot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] louyaorong:
Is battery percentage back?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Yep...Menu/Settings/CyanogenMod Settings/Interface/Status Bar Tweaks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JackD3ath:
My gps has had no problems since flashing any cm7, i think you guys have a conflict of apps or some mismatched settings. Having a data rich device on a prepaid acct is probably not the best plan. You should get a basic phone for calling people, and only use your device on wifi. Whats the point of having it on such a limited plan? That is the reason they these devices bundled with data package. They use lots of data.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Not every device is the same.....not everyone is in the same area....

Do you know what a variable is?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tvdang7:
tmobile usa g2. Like in navigation it will map it out according to your location i assume through the internet kinda like how latitude does but it will not properly get a lock says " searching for gps" and it will not properly follow me and speak.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] borisimo:
Anyone else getting a download error when trying to download #7 using Rom Manager?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chris2busy:
That is not the case..as soon as RC hit all g2 users had no problem with their gps, while Desire Z users could not get theirs to work..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
That's not true. I have a T-Mobile G2 in the US and my GPS stopped working with a couple nightlies before the RC and on the RC as well.

I'm currently on #5 and everything is working fine now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HLeenders:
Just flashed #7 (coming from #6) . No problem with GPS. CoPilot got a fix in less then 10 seconds.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
My TMobile USA G2 is working fine on #6 so far and #7 doesn't have enough to flash so I'm staying with #6 for now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
can someone test flash playback i have been having issues with browser playing videos "dolphin hd"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
also am i the only tmobile g2 user in the us that doesnt have a gps issue
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
I guess you and I alone. :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
Is teamdouche.net down?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
I used to not have any issues until I started flashing kernels and experimenting. This may be a dumb suggestion, but for those that are saying they get an instant GPS lock, please make sure your wifi is off. You will get a lock every time if you're on wifi.

Edit: Apologies for sounding dumb; I've had a long night/early morning and haven't been properly caffeinated yet.

Edit #2: After a good minute or 2 GPS in Maps finally locked on to my location. Really accurate too. Shows me to be within 1 meter in my living room! :cool: On nightly #7.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wellingtonarmelin:
Can anyone tell me why the push notifications isn't working and can anyone help? I've looked all over people mention it but noone has an solution
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
No. You guys aren't alone. I wish people would read more than the last page of the forum...

There have been three clear commits listed on http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged,n,z having to do with Vision and GPS. When the first commit happened (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/2983), the nightlies that followed and RC1 broke GPS for some people (including me). Then the second commit (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,3113) fixed it (effectively reverting the previous commit). The nightlies that followed had working GPS for everyone that posted to the forums that I noticed (including me). Then another Vision GPS commit occurred (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,3276) along with some others (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/3262 and http://review.cyanogenmod.com/2806, most notably) after Nightly #3 and before Nightly #4 that did not seem to be incorporated into Nightly #4. But, when Nightly #5 came out, people (including me) started complaining about broken GPS again. I copied the gps.vision.so file from #4 onto my phone and GPS started working for me.

So, all you folks that are saying "It's working for me, you must be doing something wrong," you're wrong.

Like I always tell my users when they tell me their computer is broken and they don't know why: It was working, something happened, and then it stopped working. We have to figure out what that something was.

Here, we know what that something was: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,3276
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
I, for one just state my steps here when flashing ROMS or making changes, whether they work or not...I never tell someone, 'you're doing it all wrong' or something of that nature. I just happen to be one of the lucky ones that does not have in this case a GPS issue. I do think people need to do some research before making some of their posts cuz a lot of the answers are right here in the thread.

:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Best post I have read in this thread in a long time. Thank you for posting this. Hope people start reading it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
I hope you don't mean me. I think it was pretty clear that I did a lot of research for my post.

Though, I did make one mistake. I misread the post you replied to and thought both of you WERE having problems. Oh well. My post still applies. People ARE having problems and it's not because of something they've done.

And referencing the post about whether Wifi is on or not. I have Wifi off (and have Wifi location off). Maybe it's working for you when Wifi is on because your Wifi location is on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
You must mean me. :D I only brought that up because I've discussed this with people I know and they say 'well look at mine. It locks on super quick', then I notice the wifi icon on their status bar and tell them 'well no sh*t! Turn your wifi off and try it again, dumbass'. I love having friends with Android phones. I digress, I just wanted to make sure all the variables are accounted for. That's all. So to reiterate, when testing GPS out, I make sure wifi and wifi location is off; turn use wireless networks off, that way I have as pure of a test as I can. Then I'll turn on wireless networks and test again and so on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
Nah :) . I was replying in general. I currently do not have any GPS issues. I also never use WiFi as my data flow is well adequate for me. I also am using Pershoots kernal 32.29 which I downloaded from ROM Manager and Radio is the 04.02.17_M version if that makes a difference.

:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
merdely, So, all you folks that are saying "It's working for me, you must be doing something wrong," you're wrong.

@merdely i dont need your analysis and for you to say that the commits are why i am not correct you idiot what if i never flashed the defective roms ....so then i would never have a gps issue maybe you should of asked why i dont and i am no where near new to this my wifi was off when i checked and also i know how to change my own gps setting in the build prop so your bad for assuming
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Its working for me.;) Always has......lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chezbel:
Thanks for that! I've been wanting a battery % and didn't realize that option was there until I saw your post!

EDIT: I'm refereing to Borisimo's post of "I found it! CM Settings -> Interface -> Status Bar Tweaks -> Battery percentage"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
its like if there s dont work then yours shouldnt either lmao ,,,haters gps locked lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
respectfully stated
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Ain't that thatruth.....lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
What's the point of argueing? There are 2 camps of people: those for which the Q_Comm.... gps commit breaks gps and those that doesn't. I happen to be fortunate and my gps has always worked. Sure, my gps bogs down sometimes with all the back and forth but turning it on/off and rebooting always does the trick for me.

You guys try submitting a bug on the cynogen website and see what happens, but this isn't going to solve anyone's problems just more and more pages of jibberish...

Now if we can please get back to the battery talks... (sarcasm)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sundar2012:
so what's up with the push update notifications or the lack thereof?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
Classy and intelligent.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rajbaba2:
Website and rom manager. I cant download because wevsite not working. Help
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DerIdiot:
^ Indeed, I skipped 6 because I was busy but was going to try out 7. Getting a gateway error on the site when attempting to download.

As for functions, I've been stable with GPS and WiFi, though GPS has ALWAYS been flaky for my phone, reception seems hit or miss with stock too. Overall I'm pleased with CM7 so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
nightly website is up now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rajbaba2:
When i turn off wifi or when wifi just gets lost my data goes off for a sec
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
When I turn off wifi, even though I have mobile data disabled, data becomes activated. I've seen some earlier posts about this too. Not good if you have a limited data plan! :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rajbaba2:
Yeah that isnt good. I have unlimited i just dnt like tht its shuting off
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phillipcooke1:
I have a uk dz. Gps wasnt working in build seven but I downloaded the gps file from rc1 thread and copied it using root explorer and changed the permissions. Then reboot and all is fine again. Check the permissions on the original before you copy it across.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] andi_o:
yes, i lost about 60$ because of this bug (i did not recognize that data was enabled over night...)

now i flashed nighlty #3 and it works as expected
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chris2busy:
60$ ???What did u do? left a torrent client open? charge is per traffic size..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
I don't know if Cyanogen is going to be in that great of a hurry pulling out the change once again. First he put it in, then he pulled it, and now he's put it back in. You may have to continue this way for a while, or try a complete wipe, or something! :confused:

As for me, my gps is working fine on build #7.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
and your right classy instead of doing what i use to do ....ask about me but any way

i wasnt going to go that far its just someone telling me i am wrong and didnt talk directly to is a idiot for jumping the gun science tells you need to have something happen more than once for it to be considered and we got a **** load of people say theres still worked but this little dickhead says we are all wrong
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Take it easy lol

...and a few commas and periods wouldn't hurt :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aegentirony:
Was running #1 for a while decided to flash #7...US Tmo g2....gps didnt work, copied the gps file over from #1 instant gps lock....just FYI
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aegentirony:
We seem to have the same phone....But my Gps wont work...The only thing i see different between us is you have Eng hboot....I do not...Maybe this is why some peoples Gps works and some peoples wont?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
Nope...I only had it with RC1 and #2, fixed on #3, but never had any gps issues prior to CM7RC1.

GPS is working fine on #3, even got nearly instant lock inside my office. I should say that the first time I tried it, it did take about 20 min to lock, after that nearly instant!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
Nope! GPS worked before and after hboot change. This is not the culprit.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
i did just smoke this bluntback on point is any one having flash issues in dolphin hd browser
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Since you asked, I personally think its a caching problem. I consider myself a wipe freak....lol. I wipe cache and dalvik before I flash every new nightly and when I do a full wipe, I also format boot and format system for a guaranteed clean install. Works for me!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JassyNL:
Om 7#, GPS is working for me with an insane quick lock. It took only 2 or 3 seconds to get a fix with 10 Satellites! Had WiFi support turned off. HTC DZ Europa

I'll stay on this build :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wellingtonarmelin:
oh my gosh everyone keeps talking about the gps what about the update notifications it keeps trying to register
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
I looked through the last three pages (at 50 PPP) and not one single time do I see you telling someone, "It's working for me, you must be doing something wrong." So, I don't understand why you're spewing this third grader rant here. I also hinted that I mistakenly quoted you when I meant to quote someone who was actually having the problem.

Settle down and cut out the personal attacks and name calling.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
I just received a notification from ROM manager that #7 is available. So cool!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Google is rolling out an update to GB devices to fix the random reboots, I can only assume the CM team will be folding it in to CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Its been available since last night. Not to bust your bubble or anything. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sundar2012:
For those having gps issues have you tried the following:

1. Fix permissions

2. Gps toolbox (dl from market for free) - clear agps data then download new agps data (also wipe maps cache)

3. Full wipe (nandroid backup first that way if u still have an issue you can restore) and latest nightly reinstall

4. Testing outside with sky overhead along with another control device (another smartphone)

Please don't flame me if you've already tried all of these things - I'm just trying to help those who haven't tested these things. My gps works but occassionally I refresh agps with gps toolbox if fix is taking a while.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sundar2012:
My notifications are not working...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Stop posting this..... we know.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
What notifications? All of them? I have no problems with them at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
LOL...I know it has been available but I've never recv'd a notification about an update b4. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noodles2224:
Seriously, or how about adding.. delete both android and android.secure folder, data folder, lost.dir folder and tmp even after wiping all.. my steps are double

Data wipe

Cache wipe

Data wipe

Cache wipe

I do it this way since using g1 and mt3g.. they always said double wipe. I don't ever do dalvik if I'm updating as it gives errors and seems like it doesn't wipe..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aegentirony:
i think this is a bit overkill, do you think that when its wiping data it misses a file or two?:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Yeah thats an overkill lol wiping once is enough...

and is the error you're referring to the sd-ext error? That just means you don't have the old style app2sd ext partition on your sd card...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spovat:
flashed nightly 3 (previously on #7) and my gps is just fine. sticking to this for the time being
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
GPS for me worked until Nightly 4. From 5 on, completely dead.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] klmsu19:
For the people screaming at each other about gps, consider this:

We all have the SAME phone. We're all running the SAME OS (if we're talking the latest version and everyone is updating daily)

So I'm sorry, if it works for some and doesnt for some then there is some conflict with something you're installing. Code doesnt just work for some and not for others on the exact same device. Sure a difference by location for acquisition times and such, but not totally borked 100% of the time versus working.

That's totally illogical, there is obviously something you are installing that is conflicting with the OS causing GPS failures. It doesnt just fail for a small % of the people on its own.

So I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings, but "you're doing something wrong" is close to accurate. It's something you're doing (installing)- the 100% exact identical OS on 100% exact identical hardware doesnt just fail on it own 100% of the time for some and then work for some. The only logical explanation is there is some external force acting on the OS causing a conflict and gps to break.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
I LOLed :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
If by "small %" you mean "half," then you might be on to something. Unfortunately the world of consumer electronics does not work the way you think it does, and things are quite often different depending on region or batch number.

The fact that this issue just happened a few builds ago, was recognized by the CM team, and then rectified before happening a second time also means you have no idea what you're talking about.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
Oo boy, I need more popcorn. :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrien1977:
I'll try to change the subject a bit.

Who has been having random reboots? i had 4 today.

I am with #6.

Also, is there a way to find out either what caused the reboot or what was running around the reboot time?

What logs should i look for and where?

thanks a lot
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aegentirony:
This is just ridiculous...I had been running nightly #1 for the past week or however long its been out now...Gps worked fine. Decided to flash #7 today to see if gps would be broken like so many are reporting...And what do ya know, flashed to 7 just like i do every other rom since i had my magic...and no gps..no icon, no locks in gps status..NOTHING....

Decided to try and flash through terminal emulator the gps.vision.so file from #1 which i had no problems with and som a ***** Gps works flawless again....ON Rc1 my Gps would not work either....EVEN if i flashed a KNOWN working gps.vision.so file....Go figure....

I think your being a bit harsh towards people, and you have no clue whats going on as much as i do....People are here to report individual problems and sometimes yea the questions are redundant but sometimes there are widespread legit issues like this one...Relax a bit and try asking questions instead of telling everyone "So I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings, but "you're doing something wrong" is close to accurate" i dont think anyone is doing anything wrong....We are obviously divided on this gps issue so there must be some difference....Maybe only Cyanogen knows maybe even he doesnt! Chilllllllllllllllllllll:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aegentirony:
I Must honestly say i have never had ONE random reboot while using CM7....

Tmo G2 Nightly #7 on 2/18/11 pershoot...Stock radio
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Hmm, did you at least wipe once before updating? Even though the nightlies support upgrading like this, the true test is fully wiping and then installing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrien1977:
I have to say that I don't want to totally wipe for each nightly. I did a full wipe for RC1 though.

Its kinda anoying to reinstall all apps. (I use titanium backup free not the pay version)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
I have the *exact* scenario you do. #5 with #5's gps.vision.so yields no GPS. #5 with #4's gps.vision.so has perfectly working GPS. And there was a GPS code change inbetween. So clearly I'm doing something wrong.

I don't understand what's with all the negative attitude. (Not you, aegentirony).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
I have the occasional random reboot. It almost always happens when I accidentally slightly open the keyboard enough to activate the screen and immediately close the keyboard. Not every time, though. Maybe once every couple of days.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Really?:rolleyes: Ive flashed every nightly since Build 0, and never "fully" wiped my phone. Everything runs as it should gps, wifi, notifications, etc.etc..... If that were the case I would definitely not be flashing Nightly's, I would shoot somebody if I had to do a complete setup every night. So I really have to disagree with your recommendations. A complete wipe if coming from a diffrent ROM but not between Nightly's.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
*sigh

Taking it a little harsh aren't you? What I meant is that while normally you should be able to flash between nightlies without issues, when there is a problem, you should check if wiping helps.

Considering doing a Nandroid is ridiculously easy, how hard is it to wipe and test?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HLeenders:
Donno what some people are doing with all their wipes and cleaning and restoring and fixing permissions and trying to get a GPS fix and resetting their batteries and I can go on forever with all the "problems" I read here. I bought my DZ, ignored the OTA so I could root it easily and after that I flashed the nighties almost every day. And everything still works without a glitch. No FC's, no problems with SMS/MMS whats soever. Haven't tested a video taken in portrait and played on landscape thow.

PS; Google is your friend, search if you have a "problem". Chances are it is already solved.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
If you have no idea what you're talking about, then kindly STFU.

Yes, our hardware is supposed to be the same. But sometimes there are small variances in manufacturing that can cause differences. For example, you may be able to OC you device to 1.8GHz but other devices may be unstable at that speed (this is actually very common). Same devices, but slightly different tolerances.

I came from a Vibrant to the G2. All T-Mobile Samsung Vibrants are the same, right? Well we discovered that wasn't true. Some of the devices had a sightly larger NAND which caused many errors with a certain (Voodoo) kernel.

And sometimes there are hardware revisions, ones that generally aren't advertised. I know for a fact there is more than one revision with the G2 because people were comparing it back when the hinge issue was a big thing.

Get your facts straight before you start telling people they're doing things wrong and you won't look so stupid.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
*sigh

I read the black not the white and from that, it sounds like you were suggesting that a "fully" wiped phone is what you were recommending between nightly's.?

and from the reply from adrien1977 it sounds like he read it the same way I did.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HLeenders:
It's simple:

Did your GPS work before you flashed a custum ROM?

No: It's a DOA. Yes: It should work with the nighties.

I cannot believe that HTC is putting in different GPS chips in their same models of mobile phones.
