Can't seem to get GPS to function with LTBv2.3 & MR2.5 radio.
I've followed the directions from the following thread to a tee and get the same results.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9576852&postcount=108
... yes I've verified the removal of the entry mentioned in the db.
Haven't been able to find much else to try out.
Try this:
1) Download GPS Status from the market
2) Run GPS Status hit Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS State > Download
3) Wait for it to download and for the GPS Status to get a lock (The bottom portion of the screen will fill up with tons of information)
4) Go to Manage Applications > Maps > Clear Data
5) Go to Maps again and see if you get a better lock.
For best results do all of these steps outside.
Used to fix issues back when everyone was on Froyo
Folks were using the same fix as cm7, create a nandroid backup, flash sense rom of your choice, get GPS lock, boot into recovery, restrore previous nandroid backup.

Tried GPS Status. The GPS receiver is apparently working, however maps is not able to find my location. So I've at least established that my GPS _is_ working; maps is just unable to use it for whatever reason.
I've tried a fresh wipe as suggested with the same results.
Was incorrect, there is no GPS lock at all. I've installed GPSFix and GPS Essentials and both indicate the device is not finding any satellites.
I know everything works with Froyo, but I'm enjoying Gingerbread and would love to be able to stay with it. Any other ideas floating out there?
I Fixed it. Installed OMFGB & used GPSFix and it was able to get a lock. I installed LTB over without wiping and everything functioned correctly.
With any of the LTB installs I tried using MR2 and MR2.5 I was unable to get a lock using the GPSFix tool. Probably just an odd quirk. Either way, GPSFix seemed to do the best job out of all the available options I tried for Gingerbread.

I've searched all over the web for this and all over XDA and there has been nothing conclusive. Hoping we can find something usable here.
Basically, market hangs on starting downloads and does not progress. I can tie the failure only occurring after I install the V1.1.0_r2 update and ensuring top to bottom I have met all the requirements. I work on about 4 NCs for family members and one of our has gotten V1.1.0_r2 working with Market fully functional. 2 of the NC's fail Market and have not tested the 4th since generally, only Market fails but all other functions on the NC work perfectly.
My system:
- 1.0.1 Auto Nootered
- Gingerbread keyboard
- Sideload hack
- Telephony Hack
Here are the symptoms I have found:
- All worked fine on 1.0.1
- Initial install of 1.1 worked for a bit but crashed on adfree host file update and did not work thereafter
- First notice was on Facebook download
- market.android.com can still push installs
What has not worked:
- Clearing Market data
- Clearing download manager
- Starting and stopping downloads
- ejecting or unmounting SD card
- fixing permissions does not work
I've seen this happen on 2 different Nook Colors but not on a 3rd and my personal SC I've repeated the failure across 3 complete factory wipes and resets with the same end result of a working Market that gets stuck on Download Starting.
Any ideas?
You don't have an Android phone, do you? This happens on every device recently, something with the market, has nothing to do with the Nook.
I disagree. I have a DINC and several nooks and I can force this to happen on the nook where the market works fine until I update to 1.1
I was having the same market download behaviour you describe the first few times I attempted a 1.1 upgrade. The thing that finally did work for me was doing a complete wipe of all data, all cache and complete factory reset, even back to the stock recovery partition. Then walked through the upgrade setting things up by hand and not restoring anything from backup. The market has worked fine for me ever since.
You mentioned doing complete factory wipes and resets, and if they were this kind of thorough wipe-everything back to out-of-the-box state reset and not just a restore from an old backup... then I don't know what to tell you. I assumed there must have been something buried in my data that was somehow causing the problem in 1.1, but maybe I just got lucky that last time.
fwiw, here's what I did in case you spot any differences that might help.
- "Erase and Deregister Device"
- wiped dalvik cache and cache partition from clockwork recovery
- used dd to rewrite boot and system partitions to stock out-of-the-box state (1.0.1 version)
- rebooted and went through B&N "first time" setup process, registered with my B&N account.
- auto-nootered
- rebooted and went through google's "first time" setup process.
- performed the whole youtube -> gmail -> google talk -> market setup dance
- installed clockwork rom manager from the market
- followed the 1.1.0 upgrade process
- rebooted and tested everything (including the market)
- started manually loading books and apps back on, avoiding backups made before the upgrade
I don't know if this is of any help, but it worked for me. And I hope someone figures out where the problem actually is before the next B&N upgrade, because I'd rather not have to do all that again.
I did the same thing as you but I did not wipe the dalvik cache. Weird thing was that I was able to get market to work immediately after the update but it stopped working after a bit. Couldn't tell what triggered it and I was only doing hard installs from market. No backups.
I restored to factory via 1.0.1 image several times to try and isolate the problem. It was not decisive since I do have one nook that competed all updates including an overclock and all functions seem to work perfect including market.
issues and FCs with V1.1.0_r2 update
Keep in mind I am a noob at all of this and am barely able to keep up with you guys, but I had problems with FCs and general instability after using the V1.1.0_r2 update and flashing one of the more "stable" overclocked kernals. In general I didn't like the direction my NC was heading and decided to begin again.
I went back to stock using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945838
and then applied this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870
and so far everything seems stable.
The people on these forums amaze me with their technical know-how.
Having the EXACT same problem here after doing a wipe and upgrade to auto-nootered 1.1.
After successfully downloading and installing roughly 20 apps, any new downloads now stop at the "Starting Download...." stage. Ive also tried everything short of replacing vending.apk to fix the problem -- nothing has worked. Ill be trying that next... I'll report back after.
**Currently this only supports CM7, but I am hoping to also include OMFGB and LTB soon**
Also, I realize this is poorly formatted.. I'm on my phone so until I can get to a comp I will try my best to make it less ugly

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php? t=1160346
CM7 as it is is built off of and tested on basebands 1.16.00.0223r and 1.16.00.0402w_1. I personally have reliable data on the former, but recently few have posted that the latter retains 4G after a reboot. Get your radios below. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php? t=1045081 **As of RC 1.1, there are two separate builds, for those of us that want to use MR2/MR2.5, and those of us that wish to stay stock. YMMV.
Where can I find GAPPS? I’ve been using the same GAPPS for every release, Lithid’s 5/04 GAPPS, which can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?p05q54839gjzt
Note: don’t download the larger file, it’s not for our phones
6/13 GAPPS, heard they didn't have gtalk with video, but they're newer if you're into that
http://goo-inside.me/gapps//gapps-gb...613-signed.zip
This GAPPS includes Gtalk with video, while the 6/13 GAPPS in Rom Manager does not.
GPS:
1. From your CM7 rom, boot into Clockwork Recovery. 2. Back up your CM7, and wipe data/cache as well as Dalvik. 3. Flash a Sense based rom. 4. Boot into Sense based rom. 5. Turn GPS on in Sense based rom. 6. From the market, download GPS Status & Toolbox (free, unless you’re in a giving mood) 7. Open GPS Status & Toolbox, hit menu, then tools. 8. Hit “Manage A-GPS state” 9. Hit “Reset” 10. Go back to tools, and “Manage A-GPS state”, and select download. 11. Go outside, or near a window and point your phone to the sky. There will be two numbers near the bottom right of the compass denoting how many Satellites you’ve found and how many fixes you have. (I usually get 8-11 fixes on 8-11 satellites but it should work with less fixes and satellites) 12. Straight from this screen (if you have the power menus), reboot into recovery leaving GPS on. 13. In recovery, wipe data/cache as well as Dalvik. 14. Restore your CM7 backup, and you should now have GPS
Problem: Non-GPS geolocation is (very) inaccurate Solution: (Thanks Wraithdu!)
The inaccurate non-GPS location can be fixed by turning on WiFi (does not need to be connected, just ON). Obviously a temporary fix, but works for me - I can get location now in Beautiful Widgets, SiMi Clock, The Weather Channel, and the browser. I increased my WiFi scan interval to 3 minutes to try and help battery. But it beats getting the weather for Guam.
Problem: I just installed CM7, where is the Market?! Solution: Not a problem, you just have to install gapps. Easiest way is to download and install through ROM Manager: Rom Manager -> Download ROM -> Google Apps.

Why do I have worse signal on CM7 than I do on Sense-based roms? In short, you don't. AOSP roms usually reflect your DATA signal, not your signal in DBM which is your voice signal. If this really upsets you, some themes make it look like you have more bars
In Call Volume Fix (ALL RC's)
This was originally released for RC .4, and some say it is not needed on RC .6, but here it is if you’re still on .4, or maybe still aren’t experiencing adequate volume on RC .6. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php? t=1121517**This has since been updated to work on ALL releases currently available.
Phone not ringing when called: While there are no *definitive* fixes for this, there are two things that people have reported as working.. 1. If you have Google Voice tied to your mobile phone, delete your mobile phone number from the GV website, and then re-add it. 2. Go to Settings > Profiles > Manage App Groups > and delete the Phone(or dialer, not sure which it is) from the application groups window.
4G does not stick:
I recommend MrB’s method of getting 4G to stick if you’re having problems. I can’t find the thread right now, but since I’ve done it so many times here is the process:
1. Go to Wireless and set yourself to CDMA/EVDO auto. 2. Wait for a solid 3G connection. 3. Switch your radios to CDMA/EVDO + LTE auto. (Even if you don’t get signal, it’s ok) 4. Open up Rom Manager, and select Fix Permissions. 5. Let the phone do its thing, you’re free to go make a sandwich (this takes considerably less time on a fresh install due to the lack of apps) 6. Once Fix Permissions is finished, GO BACK TO THE WIRELESS SETTINGS, and turn your radio back to CDMA/EVDO auto. 7. Reboot. 8. Wait for solid 3G to pick up on the fresh boot, then change your radios back to CDMA/EVDO + LTE auto.
Note: This won’t work for everyone, I have seen plenty examples of it not working, but I have also seen plenty examples of it working as well. I do this everytime I flash a RC, and the only time I lose 4G is after a reboot.
Trouble getting 4G/keeping 4G? (cont.) Simple fix if you're having trouble getting and keeping 4G, don't forget to try formatting your /system in CWM. (You'll have to reinstall the rom, so only do this as a last resort). It's under Mounts and Storage.
Sound only coming out of ONE headphone/Sound is mono: I haven’t seen this pop up too recently, so I’m assuming it is fixed but most people have noted that if they start having this problem a reboot usually fixes it. IF NOT, open your voice search app (doesn't hurt to place a search), and then your sound should work

Possible fix for ringtones playing once.. for the brave, thanks Szale9001!
I wanted to share, however, that I may have found out a potential fix for the "only one Ring during phone calls" issue. First I followed the first post steps and deleted the Dialer app from the Profile settings, but that didn't work for me (I do not use google voice so step 1 was irrelevant for me). Through some research I came across this post: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod...detail?id=3653 It basically states that only some of the ringers in CM7 have an "ANDROID_LOOP=true" line in the metadata of the ogg file. It gives instructions on what to do to add this line to all oggs at once. To summarize, I used my ubuntu laptop with adb and the vorbis-tools package installed, to adb pull my chosen ringtone. I then typed the following in the terminal: $ vorbiscomment -a -t "ANDROID_LOOP=true" myringtone.ogg Afterward I mounted the /system partition as R/W and pushed my ringtone back to the phone. It seemed (I rebooted to make sure and further tested other ringtones) that once I completed these steps my ringtone would repeat as long as the phone was ringing and until I answered or ignored. Just wanted someone to know, might help some people. Also maybe if slayher or one of the maintainers gets wind they may be able to do this to all ringtones for the next release (assuming my solution works lol). http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod...detail?id=3653
Problem: Included wireless tethering not working Solution: From what I've seen, you will be able to connect to the wireless network, but you will not be able to obtain an IP address. I have found that forcing an IP release/renew upon connecting generally takes care of this problem. On Windows, this can be done with the following: 1. Start -> Run -> "cmd" 2. ipconfig /release 3. ipconfig /renew

I tried looking for a thread about this matter, but couldn't find anything that exactly matched my problem so here goes:
A while back I rooted my X10 for the first time and installed FreeX10. Eventually, for the sake of getting the Dual Touch update from Sony, I flashed the phone back to its original state with the UXP and updated. At the time I did not intend to go back to FreeX10, I opted to continue using the UXP. However, when I first tried to restore most of my applications, I found I was unable to do so. Paid apps downloaded fine (most of the time) but any free apps I tried to re-download would not. I could tap on the "Start Download" button and the phone would show a notification with a progress bar, but the bar would remain at 0%. If I tapped on the application in the Market again, it would take me to the application's description page as usual but where it would normally show the "downloading" progress bar was just a blank white space. I was unable to resolve this problem so I eventually (with much difficulty trying to re-root and reinstall Titanium Backup without access to the market or a proper File Manager application to install APKs) went back to FreeX10. Surprise surprise, the Market works fine in FreeX10. So here's my issue. I want to flash to phone back to UXP and upgrade to 2.3, but I don't want to encounter the same problem again. Does anyone know if I might encounter the same problem? If so, is there a way to fix the problem?
setting > apps > filter (menu button) > all > download manager > force stop
hit thanks if i helped !

As I mentioned previously, I don't want to reinstall the stock (ie. UXP) interface again unless I know for sure whether this will happen. Last time it took some creative tinkering and hours of work to flash back to Free X10 since I couldn't install a proper file manager in order to install APKs directly. I don't want to have to go through all that again and I don't want to get stuck without a working Market.
So I have recently switched over to the Miui roms and they are amazing in almost every aspect. The only thing that I have been having issues with is the GPS. Can anyone direct me to the best kernel for GPS on miui roms?
Thanks.
i use this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123922
but before using navigation this is recommend
1) download fasterfix from market and choose your respective region
2) restart the phone
3) open angry gps and do ttff test...
should get a lock on ur gps...try these steps on ur current rom before you download from the link i gave you
note: if you already have ran the angry gps then make sure to click on "delete gps data" before clicking on ttff test....
good luck...
After updating my XT912 to AOKP 4.3, I have been unable to obtain a GPS signal - zero, nada, zilch. To be clear, I'm not talking about slow fix time -- it appears that the device can't see/find any satellites.
I've tried everything - multiple tools and fixes available on Google Play; various modifications to the gps.conf file; wiping dalvik cache and factory data reset; re-flashing various roms, including CM 10.1 (which I'm currently on). I'm running safestrap and can't obtain a GPS signal when I load the stock 4.1.2 ROM.
At this point, I'm fairly confident that the problem isn't the gps.conf file, so I'm thinking that the problem is probably being caused by some other file corruption/absence; the GPS chip is fried; or there's a problem with the SIM card. Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hey,
I've got a Droid Razr Maxx that had this issue a few months ago. I downloaded "GPS Status & Toolbox" from the play store, rand it, and there's an option in the settings menu there that allows you to "recalibrate" or "clear" gps satillite (data). This fixed the issue for me, whatever it is.
You can always use matts utility to wipe/fresh install 4.1.2 which will make your phone "out of box condition" unless of course ur sim is bugged some how. My sim got the 3g bug, no possible way to enable my 4g.. Verizion finally sent me new sim and notta.. Had to send phone in for a refurb.. (Was still under factory warranty)
