How to fix gps issue

For those of you having GPS issues...

1. Unrar attached File.

2. Copy vision_wipe_efs to /data/local/tmp/

3. Then using a terminal in the phone: (like ConnectBot)

$ su

# stop rmt_storage

# chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/vision_wipe_efs

# /data/local/tmp/vision_wipe_efs

Reboot

Done

Now test your GPS with GPS Status (Go Outside! First time lock will take a bit longer than normal because it is first time... then it will lock in seconds...)
[HTC Inspire 4G] tonyi:
I can verify this fixed my GPS lock issue. Good work!
[HTC Inspire 4G] tonyi:
Working great! Buying you a beer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
It's in the FAQ also since some time already ;) :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] somewhastock:
Im having a hell of a time with this. Im doing something wrong and cant figure out what. I didnt want to ask for this help in here but Im stumped.

I did a few things.

1. I mounted my phone as a disk drive, went into the data folder, made a folder called local, then inside that I made a folder called tmp, then moved the vision_wipe_efs file to it.

After opening terminal emulator on my phone, I typed that command and got an error that im unable to chmod 777 there is no such file or directory called data/local/tmp/vision_wipe_efs.

2. I took the file and added it to the tmp folder on the main sd card screen, then ran the commands again as /sdcard/tmp/vision_wipe_efs.

The chmod 777 command worked, but the final command line failed saying that permission is denied.

Ive been searching and cant figure out what im doing wrong.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TEKHD:
Don't worry we are all here to help each other... Your error... You are copying the file to the sd card... You need to go to root on your phone... And you will see / data/local/tmp (on your phone, not sd card) just put file there and follow commands as you were... And done...
[HTC Inspire 4G] somewhastock:
You have no clue how paniced I just was.

I was trying to find the correct folder by mounting as a hard drive and searching through windows. Its not there.

With your suggestion, I found the correct folder and just copied the file from the wrong folder, to the correct folder, using Es file explorer.

Rebooting now.

Thanks. My blood pressure will return to normal now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glparke:
For some reason with Astro and Andro Zip file browsers, it is not giving me access to copy the vision_wipe_efs file to the root of my phone. I can't even make the local/tmp folder in data to put that file in.

It is like I only have read rights.

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] wjsturgis3:
I use Root Explorer with no problems gaining write permission with root priv.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Those file managers do not have root access. As the previous poster suggested, use Root Explorer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
Or newest ES File Explorer version :) Just turn on root option in settings :)

Looks awesome as usual.

I dont have the option available to enable HTML mail? It only has plain text and the option is greyed out?

[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
hm I didn't change anything in mail app, all is stock. To be honest I don't really know what you mean... where do you enable it normally?
[HTC Inspire 4G] SNadler:
Under Mail settings/send & receive/message fromat

It is on Plain text. In other roms I can switch it to HTML but this one it will not change.....

[HTC Inspire 4G] SNadler:
Second Item down, Message Format. There is also not an option for how many lines of text to display? I just checked on my copy of Virtuous and it is functional. Possibly a different Mail.apk? Can they be switched if so and is it difficult? :)

Just Installed your ROM and works great but for some reason I cant not access any internet sites. Tells me URL has been blocked. can you help?
[HTC Inspire 4G] TEKHD:
@SNadler

Just checking the sensation with stock ROM and those option are not available... Is that a pop3, imap, web account like hotmail? Or you see those option no matter the account?
[HTC Inspire 4G] SNadler:
It is on my account I use for exchange mail. My office uses SBS2003 so we have activsync. My problems are always the oddballs it seems! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] TEKHD:
Hmmm... curiosity... if you set a pop3 account... still see that option? (format option) I am unable to verify with exchange account since I don't have one... anyone with exchange account?

BTW... this is what we see... (most of us I believe)

thanks Mike

Hi,

I just want to say thank you,

I upgrade to the 5.2.0 rom with the sense 3.0 all in one and the hebrew support,

and everything works like a charm,

a big thanks for your great works and I hope you will give us a rosie 3d for 5.2.x sometime :)

Hey Mike

Is there something that changed from 5.1 to 5.2 that would keep Hulu plus from seeing my phone as an HTC inspire. It worked fine on 5.1 but no go on 5.2 says device unsupported. I am just running 5.2.1 with sense 3.0 mod.

Any ideas or things I can try?

My gps flaked out again so I uninstalled and reinstalled google maps... now instant lock and I had 11 satellites yesterday.

New thing that Im working on.

My HTC Sense Dashboard account wont locate the phone. Is this a function of the rom or a missing ad on?

I found this and it looks like basic functions like lock and location should work.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059385

As a starting point, I deleted my htc sense account and created a new one.

As Im syncing for the first time with the new account, I keep getting error "The application HTC Sense (process com.htc.cs) has stopped unexpectedly. Force Close.

I think Im just gonna remove the sense account from the phone and install another locator.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kravguy:
FYI, a have an exchange account that Im syncing with and this option is both available and changeable so I would say it's not ROM related.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
Install ad-free from the Market and select "Revert" :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] SNadler:
Really confused now. I did a full wipe and everything is working absolutly perfect. Just cannot change this option. I will download a fresh copy, wipe and reinstall again just for safety sake.

Thanks all, I will let you know what happens. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] DanMc85:
Didn't work, even after reboot and reinstall of hulu... it seems to be something with the device thinking it isn't an Inspire 4G anymore. Perhaps the new kernel you put on the new 5.2 version?

Is it possible to flash just back to the other kernel and, if possible, where would I get just the kernel file to see if it works?
[HTC Inspire 4G] somewhastock:
I have 2 sleep_max_freq files. Can I safely delete one? IDK how it got there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Latentk:
Does one have the letters .bak or something of the sort after it? If so, that is an automatically generated backup copy of your previous max_freq file and is only there to save you some headaches later.

I can confirm for folks that the move from 1.53Ghz to 1.69Ghz definitely showed a performance boost at raised my Quadrant scores a good 1000 points. I will be making the move to either 1.7+ or 1.8 here and testing again. This ROM is solid, absolutely no problems and no random reboots. Well done Mike!
[HTC Inspire 4G] somewhastock:
Yup!!!

Thanks. Im running 1228800 and think its more than enough for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
I think there is no performance increase above 1.5/1.6 but I will be grateful for your feedback :) BTW quandrant scores will probably increase, but I'm talking about real performance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crupp:
If we want to flash another ROM, but keep a back up of this :). Do we need to do anything special to go back to an ext 3 ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Just wipe in CWM recovery. You can also format system.
[HTC Inspire 4G] trilljester:
I did see a performance gain from 1.22ghz to 1.6ghz, but above 1.6ghz, you're right, not a huge difference at all. I'm keeping mine at 1.6ghz for now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gadget069:
For using Set CPU clock to 1.22 GHz, I can just flash this in recovery then reboot correct?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Yes you are correct, but you don't need to use Set CPU. You can just use the installed overclocking daemon script. I believe it is at 1.15 gHz by default, but that can be changed. Information is in the first post.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gadget069:
Thanks, I did not.mean set CPU but the daemon o/c installed with 5.2.1. When I restored I left set cpu off my restore list. By default daemon is supposed to be installed. Listed in the download section on the first page there is a link for setting the CPU to 1.22ghz. My assumption was I am able to install CPU setting via cw recovery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
Yes, this file is flashable package to oc your CPU to 1.22 GHz :)

Latest Kernel

There seems to be lots of chatter in the Desire HD forums regarding an updated kernel that seems to resolve wifi and cifs issues. Has anyone ran into this? I am not sure if I should go ahead and flash the newer kernel or wait for an updated ROM.

Hi All,

Installed the ROM and goes really well. Only one problem, have installed the Sense 3.0 All in One zip and all is fine. Except that the weather widget still appears as the same stock appearance and not the Sense 3.0. You don't notice a difference till you press the widget and you notice the new Sense 3.0 style. Is this is how it should appear or has something gone wrong ???

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated :)

Is the build.prop correct? Mine shows Desire HD and the model number shows up as Desire HD. Love the ROM, thanks for the work.

weather app acting strange

hey,

when i got 5.2.1 the weather app is acting all strange. if i open it it wont show the demo or the different weather graphics and stuff. it would just be a black screen with the temperature only showing on the side. well the widget works and even the lock weather widget works but when open the actual app i got these problems. this is sense 3.0 with Rosie 3D. any idea on why this is happening? anyone else getting this issue?

[HTC Inspire 4G] somewhastock:
I couldnt get it to work that way either.

I had to unzip the file, move it to the SD card from the computer, then move it to the correct folder on the root using ES file explorer in root mode.

Once it was there, I was able to use the other command through terminal emulator.
[HTC Inspire 4G] florelui001p:
You have to un zip and get the file inside the zip for it to work
[HTC Inspire 4G] RotKT:
that's what i did, unzip it copy it to SD card, then use es file explorer to copy it to the correct location. it didnt work
[HTC Inspire 4G] jess086:
If I do a nandroid of it Rom to go back before I installed the themes do I have to wipe it again to keep the ext4 file system? How do I check my file system to see what ext it is?
[HTC Inspire 4G] DanMc85:
you have to edit the default.xml file located in /system/customize/CID & on that note you have to do this on a new flash meaning you will need to edit the default.xml file within the roms zip file before even flashing it.

...

I found that in another thread.... I wonder if this has something to do with my Hulu Plus not working... I may have to try it as well.

[HTC Inspire 4G] wjsturgis3:
That update consisted of a radio update and some ro.ril changes in build.prop. The ro.ril changes are in the current version of this rom. The recommended radio works better for me than the AT&T update.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
There is no custom ROM that supports OTA updates. OTA can't be installed over custom ROM.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mike1986.:
Thanks for your feedback! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Latentk:
Two things of note Mike: Firstly, when you turn ON the GPS chip, the little GPS notification icon simply stays on, whether the GPS is enabled or disabled. And second, for whatever reason, the screen seems to stay on regardless of the back-light timeout. That only happens once every so often but can become quite a drain. Please look into them, and thank you!

[HTC Inspire 4G] gadget069:
Hopefully in the next version Loving the rom lots!!! I've been playing around with some of the cpu frequency's for the daemon controller, the installed o/c with the rom seems to be the most stable for me If i try some the higher up freq's, 1.5 or 1.6 phone becomes unstable after a while.

Important news about gps

Quoting myself... I found out something just now that I think is VERY important to share!

I have been using my phone at 1.6GHz for the past few days (thru SetCPU) and I found that even with the fix above, the gps was simply not locking... (the fix does work, but let me explain)

I decided to move down the bar with SetCPU and I set it at 1.2GHz, went outside and instant lock. (did not even rebooted the phone, I just set it to 1.2GHz and gps working again) Few minutes earlier was at 1.6GHz and got 1/2 satellites but NEVER a lock in more than an hour. (left the phone outside with GPS Status 3.7 running) So the fix works great if you are between 1GHz-1.2GHz and not getting a lock. But if you are way overclocked not even the fix will work because the issue is just the cpu being overclocked. Maybe you will get GPS working at 1.3GHz, 1.4GHz, 1.5GHz, 1.6GHz... but I honestly

DO NOT

recommend going higher than 1.2GHz. If GPS fails at 1.6GHz, you might be damaging the hardware at the long run!

in other words ->

OVERCLOCKING DOES AFFECT GPS!

If you are between 1.0GHz - 1.2GHz the FIX will work, if your are in more than 1.2GHz the fix will NOT ALWAYS work, just set CPU Speed down...

->

If you are using an O/C Daemon

file... and GPS is not working, just reflash to another lower O/C Daemon file and test the GPS!

Hope this helps! (lets boost that thanks meter! lol)
[HTC Inspire 4G] wjsturgis3:

Rosie 3d

Is there a rosie 3d download for 5.2.x?
[HTC Inspire 4G] friend4u:
Hi Team,

I flashed the Android Revolution HD rom on my HTC inspire. But Later I wanted to upgrade my Radio as suggested by these comments.

With 5.2.x ROMs I strongly recommend flashing 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 radio

--- Using a "non matched" radio could have a negative effect on performance, battery life & signal strength ---

--- You don't have to flash RIL files for recommended radio. It's already in the ROM ---

--- You would need RADIO S-OFF in order to do it properly ---

Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2

--- Don't flash RADIO from ClockworkMod recovery! Extract downloaded file and read the guide inside! --

How do I know:

1. My Radio S-off?

2. When I tried to use one fix Radio S-off it gave me connection problem.

3. When I tried to load the Radio it gave Remote error (I didn't remember exact message)

Please help What is next? I am not much familiar with the internals but know little bit.

I will appriciate your help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
You are already Radio S-Off. Go to the thread link that I provided and read the directions on how to flash a radio using the PD98IMG zip file. Grab the M2 radio from that thread and check MD5 before you flash in HBoot. All you will have to do is make sure there are no other PD98IMG files on your SD card. Put the PD98IMG zip file on your SD card. Do not rename it, extract it, or put it in any other folders. Make sure fastboot is turned off. Power down phone. Press and hold the volume down key and then press power. You will boot into HBoot. Your phone will search and find the file and ask if you want to update and you will select yes. As long as the file is good you will have just flashed the correct radio.
