Lost GPS - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

I had everything working great, I managed the upgrade with practically zero problem. GPS was working great, I even used it this morning. But now it won't work, I tried connecting with Microsoft Live and I let it sit for an hour or two and it will not find a signal. What is going on, what could have changed this?

try google maps, let us know if that works

well...sometimes....what i've done is go to
phone---menu---option---settings tab---location settings---
and i've toggled it off...hit ok...hit ok....
then...i'd go back into the settings and toggle it back on.....
and it worked a few times like that...
but obviously as with many gps units...you need to have a clear view (or pretty good contact) of the sky....it'll work in a building with many windows (tall big windows like a school) or whatever...but i'm almost guaranteed a gps hit if i open my car window and let it search for a bit (then roll it up as its cold here in md) and/or jus outside in the street...

Thank you, thats what I ended up doing last night, and I just let it sit and forget about it. It took longer this time then the very first time I used it. But it worked and I got to test my TomTom and it worked great also.

Also I just tested this with shadowmites GPS launcher, now everything works great. Recieved the sattalites almost instantly.

Every so often I would have this happen and I just soft reset and it would pick them up immediately.
Thanks for the top about toggling Location because it's a lot quicker than a soft reset. I'll try that next time.

I'm not 100% sure if that actually fixed it anyway, it could have been a coincidence. Couldn't hurt to try, if it happens again I'm going to try just that to see if it actually helps. This time I also did a soft-reset and just let it sit for a few hours, so its hard to tell what actually fixed it.

new Sprint ROM a disgrace!

Well I loaded in the new sprint rom last night, and now my phone is completely useless. The radio has major problems, my signal goes from nothing to 4 bars, back and fourth, and the phone goes into permanent sleep mode when I let it sit. I found this out when I woke up this morning and missed 10 calls from a client havign an emergency overnight... wonderful. I have it sitting here on the desk, and it will go to sleep and require a reset every hour or so.
I haven't had any of those problems.
WM6 lag is basically gone now and the keyboard lag is gone.
Everything is WAY more responsive and the memory leaks seem better so far.
The memory "leak" / Cacheing is more managable, and the device isn't as laggy.
I've had no problems at all. I'm loving it.

my MOGUL also goes into Perminant sleep if I let it sit.
i've had to take out the battery about 4 times just today.
anyone know why this could be?
Me too
Got the same problem installed last night. Woke up got into the car and checked phone sleeping had to soft start. Then same thing at least 3 times today. Also watched a short video in MP and it was show a few sec then sleep. Soft start and then you could watch it. Seems like after being on for a couple of hrs phone runs out of memory or something a freezes up?

Check your power setting setup, maybe it's set to turn the device completely off after 1min etc... For some reason my phone never shut off even if I let it set idle for more than 30 mins like it was set to do. Perhaps with the ROM update it actually does what it's supposed to now. Just an idea.
it's not supposed to TURN OFF as in shut down, it's just supposed to sleep. and it never comes out of sleeping mode. i've had numerous other problems, with bluetooth, etc... going back to Colonels rom, which was much more dependable.

i too loaded it yesterday as well, but i want to wonder if you did a hard reset before you installed the rom. i did it, and it gave me no problems at all with radio version 1.47.00... oh, and the phone automatically cuts off when the alarm goes off while you charge it overnight (a big no-no, but you probably know this as well, but i ain't mad at ya). if you got anything, feel free to PM me. thanks in advance.

Mine's still leaking, badly too.
Any of you try to use BT on this new rom?
If you did you'd know that this rom is worthless
-mark
The culprit appears to be the 1.47 radio. The 1.47 radio coupled with any rom version will experiance sleeping, bt and other problems.... so I am rolling back to 1.40 radio to see how it acts
As a tech in a corporate sprint store, i'd be interested in the details behind this "sleep mode" issue. What are ppl running? How can I, in the store, reproduce the problem? Is it reproducable on command or guaranteed, or is it hit or miss?
As I've said, I have the new Rom and Radio, and have no new issues, and the memory "leak" / cache issue isn't gone, but its definetly not as bad, the OS even seems to have a SLIGHTLY smaller ram foot print... maybe just a few megs smaller, but smaller on my device.

I tried that. The 1.40 radio with the new ROM still had all the new bugs.
D-pad cutting in and out...
I have found that if I push the power button to put the phone to sleep when it stops working, then turn back on, the d-pad works again. This seems to get it back to working. I wish that they could just get it right...

How do you get the new ROM?
I haven't updated yet, plan to over the weekend, but I would suggest anyone having problems to stop and consider their setup first...
What programs are installed that could cause problems?
What registry hacks have been done that may cause problems?
What configuration settings might need reset that may cause problems?
For example, after a hard reset, Enhanced Network over USB is enabled by default, and this often causes Active Sync to have issues. Likewise, power management tweaks will have reverted to defaults and you may like a more finely tuned setup.
As for memory leaks being better/worse, you may have programs installed that are out of date/buggy.
I realize it's easier to jump on the "this sucks" bandwagon, but it doesn't help you or other users with legitimate problems when no consideration is given to what is causing a given problem.
These situations are precisely why the instructions tell you that EVERYTHING will be erased. This is a good thing since it forces you to clean house, but it also means you have to pay attention to those things you often neglect or may have changed ages ago and forgotten.
Finally, if all else fails, try the ROM update again. Sometimes things go wrong.
Sorry if this seems like a rant, I just want people having issues to place blame where it truly belongs. After considering these matters, if you still have problems, definitely let HTC and the rest of us know.
Best Regards,
Aaron
Sorry, it's not anybody's installed programs. The bugs show up with nothing else but the bare ROM.
It's a train wreck.
There are more details on ppcgeeks and pdaphonehome -
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=10366
Basically, on a stock ppc-6800 phone with nothing else installed, the BT keeps shutting off.. For me whenever a call comes in or after using my headset for a few minutes on an outgoing call...
-mark
Clean rom, nothign changed at all, it sucks, clearly. We are the beta testers obviously, as usual, with most products today
I installed the new ROM after backing up with SPB Backup, then installed my backup file back on and I haven't noticed any issues. I don't use bluetooth however, so I can comment on that. But, I haven't had the sleep issue others are describing either.

Titan GPS "Fix" - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

THIS THREAD IS OUTDATED. aGPS SOLUTIONS NOW EXIST FOR ALMOST ALL CARRIERS.
VERIZON USERS SHOULD USE THIS LINK FOR NEW INSTRUCTIONS:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below is a link to the "fix" we've been working on for the Titan GPS.
We've gotten mixed results with the testing thus far. Some who have NEVER been able to achieve a lock have gotten locks within 30 seconds. Some say they don't see any change.
I must reiterate though that this "fix" is not something that works wonders. It merely helps the current situation. People who have trouble getting an initial fix, people who don't see locks for 5-10 minutes, etc may see improvement with this. Since I've applied it, I've noticed consistent initial locks taking anywhere between 30-60 seconds on Verizon. I'm happy with that for now. If you apply the fix and don't see any improvement, it doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't work, as others are seeing results. Unfortunately, we've been unable to determine why this happens.
You still have to use the same steps as you normally would for using the GPS. This does not negate the act of priming it or using a launcher. Do everything as you normally would after you apply the fix.
The Titan GPS, though functional, will NEVER be able to function like it does for Sprint customers. Until other carriers provide access to a PDE aGPS server, there will always be hardships for the customers. No amount of hacking, fixing, or upgrading can remedy this.
THIS FIX IS NOT INTENDED FOR SPRINT
THIS FIX WILL PERSIST THROUGH FLASHES OF ROM/RADIO.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE

I successfully completed this procedure on Vista64 SP1 without issue.
Now I just need to go outside and see if I get a better fix!
Thanks GC for a great and simple tutorial.

if this is supposed to do what we Sprint users have, then you shouldn't even need to go outside . I wish you the best of luck.
im gonna try it on my xv6800 in a few.
backing up right now...
edit: just did it and WOW! on a cold boot, it connected to my exact position wiht 4 sats without even shifting. all in 38 seconds (timed it). by far the fastest ive ever gotten in my house. soft reset and went outside, and got an exact lock in 5 SECONDS! holy christ, gc you are the man.
Thanks!
GC, I will try this as soon as i get home from work and report results. God I can hardly work waiting to do this.
Problem
GC, trying the fix now. I've downloaded all of the required apps.
Just for reference, I'm using:
DCD 3.1.2 ROM w/ Radio 3.39, w/ provider: Verizon
I just tried:
Put the phone in DMR Mode by dialing ##3424 and pressing send, or dialing ##3424# (depends on carrier). ActiveSync will disconnect, and the PC should recognize the phone as an HTC USB Modem and will install the drivers.
Both options, whether ##3424 and hit the green phone button...or ##3424# failed to open DMR mode for me. All I receive are a response by Verizon indicating that The phone number either disconnected, is no longer in service. etc.
I'll look around for another option. (This is similar with trying to access the options by calling to change how often the radio toward is checked for calls...I had to go directly into Windows and click ePST )
Are you using a third party dialer? If so, **** can it.
Also, reinstall the verizon carrier cab.
Right
I used the fix for SPB Pocket Plus that would make the Dialer continually pop up by installing a similar dialer I downloaded. (fixes the problem).
Should I proceed to reinstall the Cab from Verizon, or entirely discontinue the process?
I'm glad I'm not the only one that is not content with the GPS mode...from a cold start, 10 minutes can be average.
Looks good.
Thanks for the easy tutorial, went smoothly and I think it is a bit better. Edit: I know it is better, I just connected inside work where I never could connect before.
I notice that using TomTom I always before had No GPS signal for about 10 seconds, then it would say waiting for a valid GPS signal for another 10 seconds to three minutes or so, sometimes not at all until reboot. When I did it after the update it said No GPS for about five seconds and went straight to "lost gps signal 4 seconds ago". The longest it took to connect was 10 seconds after five tries (longest was after pressing the power button while in the program then waking it up...go figure).
Will you be able to integrate these drivers into the new builds for DCD? Or will we need to do this as the drivers are released.
Just out of curiosity, I know these aren't Verizon drivers, what provider are they ripped from? Will this be something that will be possible to update as new drivers are released?
Sorry for all the questions, another solid release guys.
BTW - Is anyone using HTC GPS on their phones when they applied this fix? Does HTC GPS even have an impact?

Whatever dialer or dialer fix you're using is preventing ## codes. You need to go back to the stock dialer you installed from the kitchen, then reinstall the carrier cab. After that, start over. (You don't have to reinstall the wmodem drivers or qpst)
Will we need to redo this process after a flash or hard reset, or do changes stick?

Verizon 6900 Results
I performed the fix on my 6900 and it seemed to get locks quicker after a few soft resets. Not sure if it's placebo yet but will let it run for a few days.
I'm also seeing more sats locked. Not sure the why, but I was normally seeing 5-6 at my desk and I'm seeing 8 now.
thanks I may try this when a working PC comes back...
But what exactly does this change on the phone?
Also is it possible that settings from a Sprint phone (PDE and all) could be mirrored into QPST for a Verizon phone?
I did this fix before I flashed to 3.1.6. After flashing, I connected it to check, and all the boxes are still checked.
So I believe it survives a flash
Great Job guys! GPS is locking on in under 10s now it seems!
Doesn't seem to do much for me, the lock isn't any quicker. By, the way, to get into DMR mode without the keycodes look for DM-Router in the windows directory.
not much luck. still took almost 1.5 minutes. I'm not concerned but I'm going to check it again in a while just too see if i can get a faster lock later on tonight
Thanks for the work and continued support for this community
verizon 6800
thanks sooo much gc14 and dcd. you guys are great!
i was the one who started the original thread about this issue, and this fix has helped tremendously! it still took about ~1.5 minutes, but it was a bit cloudy and it was the first lock since upgrading to dcd 3.1.6.
awesome work though! i can't wait till verizon gets some gps servers up and running (i have a friend that works fro verizon and he swears that verizon is releasing their official rom soon, w/ gps enabled so i'd assume their launching some sort of gps server. who knows though, verizon makes lot of promises). we can only hope!
as of now, this fix works just fine for me, so thank you both very much!
GREAT!
Wow man this was an excellent fix for the gps.. when i used the HTC GPS tool, it took maybe minute or more to lock with GPSMODE=4, with this fix, it also took about a minute still.. So i changed GPSMODE back to 2 and did a softreset... wow, it locked like in 10 sec.. never before in my house it did that!! one up for this fix!
Rom: no2chem 5067 kitchen

Wifi worries

hey everybody
I must say, I love this phone. Coming from an HTC S710, I really must say that it has improved in so many ways that it makes the S740 pretty much the phone I always wanted.
However, there is one thing that keeps annoying me, maybe someone else has also made this experience: My Wifi sometimes acts up. What I mean is, sometimes (read hardly ever) it works just like its supposed to, most of the times it takes somewhere between 30 seconds and up to 4 minutes to.. well, I dunno exactly, to load the driver I suppose, and occassionally it won't switch on at all. A soft reset will fix this most of the time.
I have yet to find out what triggers this. Also, I have tried several hard resets, and even with a completely clean device, literally seconds after whiping it completely, this behaviour consists..
Please share if you have experienced something similar
-ombre-
I had problems with Wifi on my devices in the past. Switching power mode (Settings->Connections->WLAN settings->Power Mode) to maximum performance always helped, therefor I automatically switched it on my S740.
You should give it a try. If that doesn't help I would say you probably have a faulty unit.
Yeah, I remember that from my S710. Wifi wouldn't work properly if it wasn't set to max performance. Already tried that, to no avail. Will have a replacement in a couple of days, maybe I just got a lemon this time..
[update]
received a new unit today, no more such problems. must have been a faulty unit.
Glad to hear that.
Wifi driver
can anyone help me in downloading the wifi driver for HTC s710
can anyone help me find the wifi driver for HTC s740???
i downloaded a progam, that made my sound go boom, i uninstalled it and later i tried to turn on wifi, it goes off after about 2secs..
WTF!?
Edit: Solved o'o
It works! I mean yor advice! Thank ya! ;]

GPS FIX!

If you gps isnt accurate, or takes forever to lock on, or is just not working
goto
settings--->Location & security---> uncheck vzw location services
try to use Standalone GPS services by itself, if not use Standalone and Google. just make sure the vzw one is off.
I tested with some people and it worked for them too.
WoW.... it really works... Just confirmed it myself. I am rooted, I did NOT do lagfix and updated to DI01
confirmed worked. it took 2 sec and was almost 100% accurate. with all 3 checked it was hit and miss and when it did find me it wasnt accurate and it took anywhere from 3-5 min to find me and it was usually about 1-2 football fields away,, still on old software, no update for me yet and no root
nice find

I have had that unchecked since the phone came out and still had problems. If there was any fix it was from the update.
unchecked... no difference, lock time is still measured around 1-2 mins.
didn't work for me...
Worked great for me. I was getting fed up waiting on the damn thing to lock onto me while I was driving and needed to find a place quick and directions. Thanks for the heads up.

I checked all 3 after reading about it somewhere then my gps started working with no problem with google maps and I live in nyc.
I think the result varies.

downloading and running gps status also fixes it. it worked for me

Take it in to verizon and show them... They will give you a new phone.
So are you guys getting GPS locks in a matter of seconds all the time, even after reboot? Mine takes a few minutes all the time to get a lock, or else is very inaccurate. If I wait for the lock I get accurate to within feet, and it'll stay that way.
Well, I thought that worked for me until I rebooted my phone to see if it really worked. No dice.
From what I understand (and I could be wrong) essentially what you are doing is turning off the cell phone triangulation that google/verizon provide and sticking with just the straight GPS unit. I don't necessary see why turning off the "rough location" would effect the warm up time of the GPS unit, but maybe it actually does.
Just didn't work on mine after my GPS unit was cold.
Does anyone know if this is a hardware issue or software?
Browsing multiple forums brings up slews of the same complaints, but no one has put forth any kind of solution, nor has Samsung.
I have all location services enabled, and I get locks virtually instantly almost all the time, and it's always accurate to within probably a few feet. Maybe I'm just lucky?
I'd hate to say it, but I fear it is hardware, seeing as I have yet to have a lock take more than 10 seconds, usually 4 or less.
This is really the first time I've been on the good side of a widespread issue.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
Yeah all of these "fixes" are merely temporary. All they are doing in storing the satelite info so they ock faster. If you reboot and turn off GPS for more than a few minutes it will start all over again. I will be paying VZW a visit tomorrow to see what they will do about since it seems not all phones are affected by this.
And I use my GPS a lot. The other day I was trying to find backway home and my GPS was so far off by the time it locked I was already stuck in traffic, had it locked normally, I would have been home free, my Droid1 would have never done this to me!!
I've only had issues with getting a lock after the GPS hasn't been used for a while. Lately, I've been wondering if some people who don't have issues have some type of app installed that periodically queries GPS? For example, I just installed the Asurion app that is supposed to check my location every hour. I haven't fully tested it yet, but now I'm wondering if this will keep GPS on frequently enough to the point where it won't have to re-start with the delay.
BTW... in early testing (when I first got the phone), I would wait to get a lock (maybe a minute), then after I got a lock I rebooted the phone and I still got an instant lock. So, once a lock is obtained, it seems like it keeps it for a while - even after a reboot. The main times I've had issues have been in the morning after the phone has been charging all night while asleep.

Yeah, I have a fascinate and so does my girlfriend. Locks both take minutes at the very least.
If this is hardware or if anyone has some legit theories, I'd like to know before my 30 days is up so I can de-root mine and exchange them both for phones that actually get a lock in a decent amount of time.

no gps lock, auto rotate and presence sensor doesn't work

first I've tried about 4-5 roms from stock tw to aosp style.
I get a gps lock but it's waaaaay off, floats around and doesn't give me my true location, maps, ingress etc none of them work properly.
my auto rotate doesn't work on any rom, beans/alliance dn3 gummy etc, it doesn't matter. if an app is landscape it tends to work and i can force an app to rotate aside from my camera app however nothing that should rotate when I turn my phone on its side seems to work. I. basically deal with it however is starting to get frustrating, I've tried everything I can think of and can't get it to work.
any ideas on what might fix this or is a warranty replacement the best course of action.
and lastly my presence sensor won't work, in calls the screen doesn't turn off I have to manually turn it off, I don't understand. it used to work great I could just place my hand in front of it on calls and it worked, not anymore.
I'm thinking I should just get a warranty replacement my quandary is that I've got my bootloader unlocked and I'd like to get another note 2 with an unlocked bootloader, however I know that's more always possible.

Chances for getting another Note 2 with it still on 4.1.2 is slim, but there is a chance.
Thats is weird that all of sudden this problem started occurring.. You did not drop your phone or do something that may have effected these things?
Have you tried to Odin a Stock Recovery and perform a Factory Reset? You might want to give that a go and see if it solves these issues.. Also when testing GPS, I have always resorted to an app called GPS Toolbox. It works great!

Use the Stock Recovery image in the stickied Data Corruption thread in the General Section..
well I've tried a couple of different methods, guess something really is broken... I'm going to go back to bone stock and call VZW to get a replacement, damn this sucks... I'm not going to be able to flash the stuff I want.
whatever as long as everything else works.
flashed back to VRAMC3 called VZW went through 90 minutes of troubleshooting and updated all the way to Kit-Kat... still doesn't work.
and to top it all off, my vibrate just started going really strange.
I'll have a new phone tomorrow, hopefully ghetto root works.
May Not Be THE Solution, But Finally Worked For Me!
So, I've been experiencing GPS issues on R3Ds Port S5, SlimKat, Paranoid, DN3, and Dirty Unicorns... been trying all the solutions being posted in the threads before factory resetting and starting all over.
BTW I use GPS Toolbox to test my GPS connections and get 0/0 satelllites.
In a last ditch effort, I loaded AllianceRom and GPS connected (20/20 Satellites with GPS Toolbox)!! I was starting to suspect that it was hardware until AllianceRom. As great of a Rom as it is, I will likely not stay on it unless I cannot get any of the other Roms to connect GPS.
I'll let this Rom run for about 4-5 hours and then with a GPS fix, try and re-install Dirty Unicorns or R3Ds and report back.
I'm hoping this can be a solution for a least a few, if not all (wouldn't that be nice) of you experiencing the same issues as I was.
got a CLNR last week and everything works great.
sadly, no roms fixed the issue and now I'm on locked bootloader ND7.
on the bright side ghetto root worked and wanam xposed is at least a decent way to get what I want, manually editing my the files to increase volume etc is a pain, however it's better than nothing.
glad to hear alliance fixed your gps, hopefully it stays fixed.
