It figures, my GPS in the phone works, and it really isn't important to me. I need a higher end GPS unit that supports stored route files, so I run a Garmin Zumo for navigation. :o
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
Andrew, I was having slow locks so I figured I'd go old school and try this again to see if it works. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943032

I went from 4 minute locks to about 1 1/2 minute locks. After I finished the steps in the above thread, I simply restored my nandroid and it worked. It's better than before, but call me picky, I'm still looking for the 15 second locks like I used to get before I rooted.

[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
I have noticed the same thing with Gallery. Also, GPS is broken for me now. It just won't find me..
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Thanks ill try it out tonight
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Plus one on removing gallery and using Quickpic

My GPS works albeit slow. I too have tested the lock with GPS Status and sure, I get a fast lock with GPS Status, but thats a useless lock. When I use Maps or RunKeeper it still takes me 1 minute plus to get a useful lock. It act like the AGPS data is not working.

I am using radio 47.63.35.21U_7.16.35.11 with n94 and Drowning 8-5 VR
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
It's only with the assistance of Data that GPS Status gets its fast (initial) lock, but you'll typically see that the accuracy (error) at that point is often 100+ feet. That's not accurate enough for navigation. It often takes (any gps device) another 30-90 seconds to process the sat data to the point that the accuracy is close enough to be useful for actual navigation. I've got new $600.00 Garmin GPS units that often take 3+ minutes to get a usable (accurate) lock.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Being gps is used constantly for me. I've been using ladios' test rc4 rom for a couple months now and its tits. GPS locks in 5sec no matter what. Never had to use agps status with the old gps libs. So one day hopefully these newer roms will be as accurate. Work in progress.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
Update: Just did this and it worked better. Steps in order. Did a nandroid, then factory wipe, cache wipe, format system, install cm 6.1.1, install gapps for 6.1.1, booted and got a lock using navigation, booted to recovery and restored my nandroid, rebooted twice, then got a lock in navigation in 5 seconds.

Bear in mind that I did not do any wipes or formats between 6.1.1 and restoring my 7.0.3 nandroid.

Aria CM 7.0.3 with XDA Premium App
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
Unfortunately the benefit is only temporary (probably a couple days at best).

What's happening here is while your phone is booted in CM6, the old GPS library is downloading Assisted GPS (A-GPS) data and storing that data on the GPS chip in the phone. A-GPS data doesn't get cleared even when you wipe everything on the phone in Clockwork, so you still can benefit from it after you switch back to CM7. However, the A-GPS data eventually becomes outdated (because GPS satellites are constantly moving). Since the GPS library in CM7 doesn't support updating the A-GPS data, within about a day or two the data will no longer be useful and your lock times will go back to how they were before... unless of course you repeat the process.
[HTC Aria Android Development] sdemmitt:
I get gps lock in 10 seconds

Cm7 Nightly 97 with radio from official htc froyo update

And drowning kernel 8-5 vr

Even from a cold boot it locks within 20 seconds max

Not really sure why people have problems and I don't
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtnlion:
I got locks like that on the old libs.since the new ones were merged it's varied.currently it takes around 10 min for the first lock and accuracy never gets better than 62 feet

Edit: yes that's after downloading agps data
[HTC Aria Android Development] unsivil_audio:
So in about 25 seconds I get a lock on 5 satellites with <50ft accuracy using GPS Essentials. About a minute and a half I have 7+ sats with under 20ft. Is that good then? Running N96 plus drowning kernel.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Can I get a link? I know it was posted a while ago. Also, what kernal are you using. Just PM me everything so we can keep this thread clean.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Using GPS software to time and count the number of sats locked is one thing. Getting a lock in a program like Maps is something totally different. My phone sees sats almost instantly. But getting a useful lock on my location takes time. It's an exercise in patience I guess. I have had no accuracy issues.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
That's certainly in line with, or better than, what a typical stand-alone GPS from Garmin, Tom-Tom, etc. will do.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
So the question is will there be a fix for this in CM7 to make it comparable to how good GPS was in 6.1.1? I know this has always been a popular question, but CM7 has been out for almost 6 months now and I have never heard a detailed explanation as to why it is still not fixed.

Aria CM 7.0.3 with XDA Premium App
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
At one point Ladios built a kang rom that had older libraries in it. It locked pretty fast and everything seemed ok. Don't know if there was a change that prevents those old libraries from being used again, but it might be worth a try.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Ill find it for you Andrew. Gotta wait till I get home.

Testing N101 and so far it seems to work without any probles yet.

Sorry for the bug report. I was to fast typing. But crazy... cause as soon as I updated to N101 the darn phone company went down. LOL.

Brightness issue in N102

Yup found one bug in the N102. If you using the custom brightness then the bottom light dont turn off as it did before and it was a battery saver. Anyway if you then use the automatic brightness it do turn off. Please fix it!:D
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Dropped my phone last night. Woke up this morning trying to figure out how my screen protector got that weird line on it.

It wasnt a line. Have to unroot and send in my phone.

Its been fun.
[HTC Aria Android Development] roLeusaP:
screen rotation doesn't work for me on n103

*EDIT*

works fine, just messed around with the settings
[HTC Aria Android Development] Jimmeh83:
Currently on n101 I noticed that when a call comes in it uses the rotary swipe style, but I have my lockscreen set to the default android sliding tab style. Not sure if that's intended or not.

Will test it on one of the newer ones later, but I haven't seen anything in the changelog about it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
theres different choices for lockscreen AND call settings

like i have rotary revamped on lock & tab on calls
[HTC Aria Android Development] Jimmeh83:
So there is, they must have changed the defaults though, since I haven't altered those settings.

Thanks.

Ever since n99, I get more white bars than green. What's going on?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Green bars=backround data enabled.

White bars= NO background data enabled.

[HTC Aria Android Development] stone_ship:
Green is supposed to mean that you are connected to Google services. White is normal (data can be active, but not necessarily connected to Google)
[HTC Aria Android Development] kabell4:
Do you have any idea why it would be more prevalent now?

I've officially lost root access 109, couldn't restore it with unrevoked either. Gonna try a nandroid restore, then RUU back to 2.1 if that doesnt work and start fresh.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
There's no reason to use RUU, lol. Just install a different ROM or do a nandroid restore.

But yes, I didn't notice it until now, but it does appear that nightly 109 does have a problem with superuser.
[HTC Aria Android Development] unsivil_audio:
My clockworkmod started acting weird. Couldn't get nandroid restore to run. RUU'd back to 2.1, unRevoked, and restoring to my latest nandroid backup.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
Were you booting to Clockwork through ROM Manager or by using volume down + power button?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tacitapproval:
109 doesn't break root. It does have a problem with superuser. You can though flash the superuser.zip downloaded through ROMmanager to restore su functionality.

edit: here's a link to the superuser zip

just tried to go from N105 to N111 and when it restarts, it gets stuck in the boot cycle with the cm7 screen...the arrow goes around a few times, then stops and restarts.

tried installing it again, but still the same issue.
[HTC Aria Android Development] STaria:
I have the exact same issue, coming from N108. I tried flashing from both a ROM Manager download and manually via recovery, but it ends up in a loop at the boot animation. Nandroiding back now, guess I'll wait for N112.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
glad it wasnt just me. restoring now. i'll just have reupdate some stuff including the swype beta v 3 i just updated the other day. i dont really think i've changed many things since my last backup 10 days ago since most of the free amazon apps have sucked. probably just have to get the netflix app again too.

restoring data now, hope it works.

edit: restored fine. maybe i'll try N110 while i'm in here messing around.

glad i had the backup. what do u do if u dont have a backup?

actually i had to restore/reregister my at&t network setting since it said no service at first. weird

edit 2: got the same issue with N110. it seemed like it was gonna load, the arrow was rotating a while like usual when it reboots, but then went into the boot cycle again and the arrow only rotates like once or twice, then reboots.

i guess back to N105 again, update everything, backup again, then wait for a new release to see if this is fixed.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
I would like to give props to the CM team for seemingly fixing the GPS lock issue in n110. I flashed it yesterday morning and have tried GPS several time (using Maps) in different parts of town and have gotten a lock in 20 seconds or less (usually less) every time. Tried it again this morning in a moving car while it was raining (I know, dangerous!!) and I got a lock in about 15 second, usually take around 1-1.5 minutes to get a lock. CUDOS!!!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
+1 on this. I can't believe it, but GPS seems FIXED!
[HTC Aria Android Development] FZ1Darren:
nightly 111: the charging indicator is broken if you have the percent option turned on. battery indicator works normally when off charge.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Yea, I actually have the same condition on 110.

EDIT: This condition only occurred immediately following flashing and plugging the charge cord in while the battery was still at 100%. After letting the battery drain down a bit so that it went into charge mode when plugged in, that symptom disappeared. The battery icon continues to show correctly after the charge reaches 100%.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
+2 - Just for grins, coming from a fresh clear & flash, I tried it

without

data assist and got a lock in 47 sec.

:)
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
good for you guys getting it flashed. me and another dude from above couldnt flash N111. god stuck in boot loop.

same when i tried N110.

i had tried updating from N105, but it wouldn't startup.

my nandroid backup was N101. so that's where i am now. i'll update everything again, backup then try some of the other nightlies to see what the hell is going on.

any ideas?
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Are you running an ext partition? If so, do U have dalvik on the ext?

When it boot looped, did you pull the battery and then try the boot again?

For some reason, mine hangs on the white HTC screen after flashing the last few nightlies, but a bat pull and reboot gets it going.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
i dont know what that first sentence means.

i've updated the same way since April...by going into recovery and loading the .zip from sd card. probably 20+ nightlies and never had an issue (except for that GPS glitch a while back where u were going backwards...ha)

mine would stop on the circle arrow loading screen then reboot over and over. had to pull the battery than hold volume down/power to get to recovery to restore backup.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
You are clearing dalvik cache when you update, right?
[HTC Aria Android Development] STaria:
No ext partition, and yes I clear the dalvik cache for every flash, but no data wipe between nightlies. When it looped, I used adb to reboot recovery. Would pulling the battery have a different effect?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
nope, never did that.

how do i do that?
[HTC Aria Android Development] STaria:
In clockwork, advanced -> wipe dalvik cache -> confirm

My clockwork never gives a confirmation that the wipe was successful, I've heard that's a common issue on 2.5.0.1, so YMMV.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
can u do that in the clockworkmod recovery area where i do the nandroid backup?

i see wipe cache partition, but not dalvik

edit: i did it within rom manager...the box was checked to wipe dalvik, so i did that and tried N111, but it did the boot loop again.

any other suggestions?

edit2: my nandroid was N101, so i restored that and then updated to N105, which it was before i had the issue with N111. time for another backup.

i need to figure out why i can't update????
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
From the clockworkmod recovery, go into the advanced menu. That's where wipe dalvik cache is. (That's what STaria was trying to tell you.)
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
still didnt let me do 110 or 111 earlier. i went from 101 to 105, then i just flashed 108 successfully. i'll back this one up and wait for a new nightly

I went from 108 to 111 without any issue. Are you using s2e? IIRC cwm recovery can't clear dalvik if s2e moved it to sd-ext. I clear mine with root explorer before rebooting into recovery to flash anything.

[HTC Aria Android Development] mtnlion:
Surprisingly enough GPS has gotten much better for me.
[HTC Aria Android Development] STaria:
The 8-7 kernel is pretty amazing.

GPS has been solid for me, usually about 20 seconds to lock. I'm using the old radio though, I don't really have any reason to upgrade to the new one since voice, 3G and GPS all work pretty well as is. Don't want to take any unnecessary risks.

dc 8-7 is DrowningChild's kernel 8-7, the thread is in (Aria Android Development) but it wouldn't effect you ability to flash

[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
^^^ yup. Led is orange for some reason.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
thanks for the help, no i did not do a full wipe/reset. wouldn't that get rid of everything? how would i get everything back? cause wouldnt a nandroid restore just put everything back how it was before i wiped it?

what is the full process you go through when you update?

i was just:

1. putting the nightly on my sd card

2. reboot into recovery

3. nandroid backup

4. flash nightly

5. reboot

mine was always orange while charging, then turns green when its done.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtnlion:
The led shows as it is supposed to.this was fixed by ladios recently.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ChargingPaladin:
I throw in a wipe cache and wipe dalvik between 2 and 3 but yes that's the process. If you've been at this a while though, especially with nightlies, you'll need a full wipe every so often to clean things up (like when it stops letting you flash). I use titanium backup to backup Apps and settings. The restore process is a little longer than nandroid but not by much. The free version should suffice, but the paid version is well worth it.

My LED is definitely orange while charging now; wasn't before.

There are some good ROM builders in this thread, I have been following attn1 from when this device was released and I am always happy with his work.

This thread could be pushed into 5 pages out of 30, so many people dont read previous pages and the same questions must have been asked over and over.

Most builds have had issues in the beginning, they get fixed and eventually everyone is happy.

We tend to complain about what is wrong with new builds but we should look at the positives. I just wanted to thank everyone who has put time into making our phones unique and far better devices.

Ive been around for a while, most know me from back in the day working at MCO and getting people phones.

Patience. I know no one means to be annoying, we all love these devices and want to make them better. I was a rep for HTC, Nokia, Samsung, O2/MWG, ETEN, I-Mate, RIM and other manufacturers. I still have friends and push for ROM updates constantly then I realized how annoying I was, so I knew that once my friends had info, they would share it.

I got to play with a prototype Thunderbolt and Inspire. I will be getting an inspire, I cant wait. I love the Aria but the Inspire is so different from all of my past phones that I am excited and cant wait to improve it with the wizards at XDA.

Im in no rush for CM7 just because I have gone through so many ROMs on this phone already, I can wait. I love it and will wait until the majority of flaws are gone.

attn1, anything you need me to do I will help in any way possible (even though your work is amazing, mine stopped at Windows Mobile). You know I follow you on twitter.
