Hey guys.
Ever since I've upgraded my atrix to the gingerbread update, the Psx4droid v2 app that I've been using religiously with Legend of Dragoon hasn't worked since.
I know I'm not the only one with this problem since my buddy with his atrix reports the same results. My question is whether or not someone has found a solution.
I'm not counting on a successful result, but a heads up on any development would be awesome.
Try toggling "compatibility mode" using Spare Parts from the market. Your phone will need a reboot to apply the changes. This also fixes apps that size wrong after the gingerbread switchover. Good luck,

Sorry for not mentioning it earlier, night shift tends to make me leave out details.
Before I had the gingerbread update, the v2 of the emulator worked fine but had the resolution problem, I already knew about spare parts then to clean up the problem.
However since upgrading to gingerbread, it just crashes when trying to boot a rom. Spare parts had no effect.
Sorry for not clearing that up earlier :/

Well yesterday I called t-mobile about my internet issues, telling them I have a hard time connecting to anything, the android market doesn't work or download so customer service told me they're sending.me a new vibrant and said it comes with froyo (yes I know the update is today) and said the gps and data issues are fixed on this vibrant. So I was wondering how recent vibrants are built because the new ones are hardware locked aren't they? Help?
I just got my Vibrant a few weeks ago, the first thing I did was check if it was HWL. Boots up fine into recovery mode. I haven't gotten a chance to test download mode. Gps works fine on mine too.
Good luck with yours.
Ps: I'm still running stock JI6, I don't know if KA6 will change things.

Just got mine 3 days ago. GPS worked so well.
I updated to Froyo and was disappointed. I went to Nero. Loving it now.
I'm new to the Thunderbolt world. Previously learned all I know from my old OG Droid. Then relearned all from my Droid X. Now on a tbolt. Learned all about this now. Currently running das bamf 1.6.3 and loving it. Sure would love gingerbread but unsure how daily cm7 is.
Anyway my question is this whole bit about radios. I read thru the radio thread and many others but still unclear as to what/which I should be running. I took a screenshot of my settings/about page that shows my current radio.
I'm not in a 4g area. I have not had a single reboot since i got the phone 13 days ago. Been running bamf since 9 days ago. from what i can tell, I'm on the old radio but thats where i get confused. this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13093559&postcount=1 has different setups and i'm unsure of what one to go with or if it is even necessary to change anything.
Any help would be great. I've been a lurker here for over a year but never needed any help until now. got to get my post count up haha. Thanks guys.

You're on the old radio, if you look in the baseband in the screenshot yours ends in r which is the stock version. The new one ends in w_1.
Im like you, i don't have 4G available to me either. I flashed radios and all i got was reboots. Flashed back to stock radio, reboots stopped, but tethering went to ****. I flashed the 2nd or 3rd radio down on the radio thread, an so far i have not had any reboots. So if its not broke, don't fix it, but if you must try the radios, do it in consecutive order down the list til you find one that works.
I really like the second radio from the top, it seemed to help my GPS lock on faster and I have a better signal. I also had issues of random reboots with the leaked new radio, so far with the second one on that page no reboots and increased performance.
Thanks guys. That's what I figured. Everything is working perfect...gps, calls, even 4G just worked driving thru easton pa. Nice to have everything working but addicted to this stuff lol.
Maybe I'll just leave well enough alone for now. Very happy with the tbolt but would love to see 2.3.3 or .4 with sense. Loving bamf remix but missing gingerbread from my Droid X. Damn phones. Wish I could have multiple haha.

Figures. Soon as I go getting cocky, my gps starts acting up. If I go to Maps, it finds me just about instantly. However if I go to navigation and click maps or driving directions, it says searching for gps. After 2 minutes I just backed out of it. Nuts.
Gps (first time I tried navigation on 1.6.3) worked perfect on 1.6.1. Why would it come up instantly on maps but not nav? Damn. Downloaded all the posted radios. Hoping I didnt have to use any...

Flashed all listed in link. Gps still says searching on every radio. Going with link 1 for now and see how it goes.
The last link in the link I posted is the stock radio/baseband, correct?

I flashed the first radio on the list but it didn't update my LTE radio. Any thoughts why?
Unsure. I'm currently on the radio in link 1. Going great. Unsure of LTE changing. I don't have 4g here so I can't test if and how it works. Not sure how you check which LTE radio I have anyway... sorry I can't be more helpful.

No matter what I do.. the software and build number don't change.
Thanks for the response.
Just got the Gingeritis Rom, which is a 2.1 sense 2.3.4 gingerbread Rom, and getting the radio to work properly was a pain.
Just noticed my 6 bar reception in Bamf changes from white and full at my house to none periodically. Seems like it does out for a second. Maybe time for stock kernel again...

It keeps kicking me out after I log in. Anyone had success that isn't on GB? Im on CommRom UKB 2.1. As far as I know it was just released today, the App that is.
seems you're not the only one having problems, it apparently still doesn't work and the comments on the market prove it... I had it working fine on GB

I just went back to stock dl09->ed04
grabbed the official app from the market.
Let me log in fine and I am currently streaming without a problem.
Just want to let yall know it works on stock.
wait netflix works on the fascinate now...im about to take the dive in taht case
I downloaded it from the market just two days ago and have had no issues other than a FC when I try to back out of a running movie.
I'll test with my wife's phone to see if its rom related. She's on stock.
Comes in pretty ok on 3G.
I am running it on cm7. The original app worked better than the new one. It works ok, but i get more errors and buffering with the new one.
Make sure you have the app version 1.3 from the market. Go update if not. They announced the addition of froyo support and only made the app visible to the phone. But it wasn't updated yet. Same thing happened to me. After I updated to 1.3 works like a charm.
Hey guys, I'm what you would call somewhat of a novice user. My GPS when using the actual satellites doesn't work anymore. It can only use the cell tower triangulation method which is useless for the turn by turn navigation app. It worked fine until I followed this guide to flash custom roms, unlock the bootloader etc. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=113626
After I did that, the battery life was very poor so I installed edgan's kernel from the same page. The phone, rom, battery etc worked great except the GPS. Any ideas how I can fix this? I'm on Bell Canada if that makes a difference. Any more info let me know! Thanks.
edgan's kernel ? its old ...
Try testing the GPS with softwares like: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest and https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2
I recommend you unlock your bootloader, install recovery with ROM Manager, install good rom such as CM7 or Aura or DarkSide or HomaBase, install the latest radio and good kernel if you want.

Ok I have Rom manager and my bootloader is already unlocked. I'm gonna try installing that kernel you gave me there, see if that fixes the GPS issue. I don't understand what a radio does, should I install that one too? I'm honestly fine with this rom I and how it looks but I just really want the GPS fixed cause I use it a lot.

Ok the new kernel didn't help so maybe I'll try the radio. I'm not gonna bother unless someone thinks this will help because I've read elsewhere that it's a risky procedure.

Actually seems to be working now just took awhile to lock on. Thanks for the kernel!
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I suppose this is somewhat of an update. Kernel seems good, good battery life. The GPS works now but takes an eternity to lock on. Can someone suggest a fix? Would a new rom, radio etc fix that? I hate to be such a bother but I use the GPS daily for jogging and turn by turn navigation. I'm inexperienced and don't want to cause further problems so I'll wait this time before I do anything. Thanks again.

Try this guide for fixing GPS problems : https://code.google.com/p/atrix-dev-team/wiki/FAQ
Other than that, i think you should full wipe everything (data,cache,dalvik-from recovery), install a new rom, install new radio, install the faux123 kernel.
I did all this yesterday and my gps now works great and locks in a few seconds .
There seems to be some kind of inconsistent GPS issue with the Atrix. On my Atrix (US-ATT) sometimes, but not always the GPS will not get a "fix". This seems to only happen occasionly however. It seems to work better if the first use of the day is when the phone has cell tower service.
Perhaps there is a related GPS issue. The Atrix only registers an "accuracy" value of zero.
This has been noted in the following link:http://community.developer.motorola...o-Location-Accuracy-on-Gingerbread/td-p/17116
Ok well I've tried a new kernel, used GPS status to calibrate compass and installed a new radio and nothing has worked. I'm assuming I need a new rom then. Can anyone suggest a good rom? I saw the CyanogenMod 7 thread but it says the fingerprint scanner won't work. I use that all the time so I would prefer not to sacrifice it if there are other good roms out there. I'm hoping for some suggestions and then I'll get on that to see if it fixes my GPS issue. Thanks guys.

Look at their features, read the comments and pick the one the look good to you.
If I am having trouble with my GPS I will...
turn the phone off
take out the battery
then put it back in.
Most of the time the GPS will then work.
i've never had the gps not work completely on the atrix. i've noticed that with certain roms and radios will take longer to get a signal and less reliable once locked. not sure if this will fix your gps problem but try flashing homebase its one of the best roms out there and gps works great for me, i get a signal lock in my house. it also doesnt loose any features like CM7 with webtop and fingerprint. it will install the latest kernal(faux), rom(2.3.4), and radio(1.77.30). its very easy to flash just use CWM or rom manager. theres a few versions of homebase, try the blue chronic and update using blue chronic 6.2. remember to clear cache before you flash and run the finalizer after the update.
Thank you for the recommendation. I didn't see this before I installed the alien rom and I must say I love the look. The GPS works great now too. Everything is in working order and worked fine for about 3 days and then today my battery wouldn't charge past 65%. I'm in the process of killing it to 0 and then charging it back up too see if that will fix it. Anyone else heard of this?

The battery thing happened to me yesterday on stock GB. I think Diviance mentioned that he's seen this a few times on Aura, as well as some other ROMs. I just kept using it as normal, and I think after my 3rd charge it went back to 100. (I had just re-calibrated my battery so I was too lazy to do it again.)
You can try discharging as you mentioned, but other than that I haven't seen a sure fire fix for this. It seems to pop up over and over, across different ROMs.
Oh as long as it fixes itself eventually, no worries. Thanks alot for the info!

Not sure if this has been posted on here yet....but i was randomly surfing the net, and i ran into this article from tmobile. Apparently they released an app to remove the files that are causing the reboot on the HTC Amaze. Its called Amaze Memory Clear and they released it to the play store. Want to try it but not sure if it will mess with settings on a custom rom (Speedrom 7.6) and was wondering if anybody has tried it yet. Below is the link to the page on t-mobile where they explain what it does.
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4492
Just about everyone who has had amaze issues after the ics update has tried it, works well, helped a lot of people, shouldn't matter what rom you're on, though tbh if you're on a custom rom with random reboots, a full device wipe and reinstallation of the rom would be something worth considering as well.
