GPS orientation issue - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Like the title says this is going to be kind of hard for me to explain.
Before the GPS locked quick everything was great. For the past few days, out of no where it happened when I was using it, the orientation went opposite. Instead it showing me go straight forward and in a first person kind of view it shows it from the side and everything is opposite I if I'm going forward on the screen i'm going back wards and to turn left it shows me turning right.
I've played around with the layers I can't find anything in options to fix this, battery pull, full wipe. Kinda lost.
I'm running Shift theory 1.4f, was running 1.3x when it happened. No OC or anything.

I had this problem. Simply hit the red/white compass icon and it will be fixed.

Trouble With Sleep of Death on EB01/SuperClean 2.x?

Please try this patch.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/update-template/sod_patch1.zip
Install via clockwork and please report your findings.
Stopped by the IRC chat earlier and was given this. Worked for me. Thanks for all your work. I take it this has been a developing issue..?
I'm assuming that sleep of death us the phone not sleeping. Is this true? Hate to assume and install a clockwork file for something I don't need.

Opposite rather. Phone not waking up and essentially shutting off. Goes to sleep, and never wakes up, hence, sleep of death
Huh, that's what that was. Had it happen with 2.3 wiped and updated to 2.4 and it seems to be okay. Wondered if it was only me.

Permanantly never wakes up? I'm having an issue with the phone sleeping. I usually just have to hit the power button a few times.

I've been having this problem rather frequently as well.
Wheww...I'm relieved it's not just me. Started happening to me yesterday with Blackhole 4.2. I'd press the power button to wake my phone and nothing...just like it's off, except that it won't turn back on until I pull the battery first. Reflashed everything and then it worked most of the day then started doing it again. Also nearly tanked my battery.
Anyway, gonna flash SC and this patch and see how that goes.
Just out of curiosity Adrynalyne...what is causing this that the patch fixes?
So we finally have the name for this problem.. I was having a hard time looking for info on this problem with no luck and just switched back to dl30. This problem always drained my battery pretty bad after I battery pulled.

Thank you so much this fixed the problem I was having. When my screen would go to sleep it would not wake the phone up until I pressed the power button 3 times and the lock screen would come on....thanks again

I don't know if this would help anyone but I'm curious to know if it's the case for anyone else:
For those of you who have not applied this patch that are having problems getting your screen to come back on until you pull your battery, does it unlock if you hit the power button and the volume keys a couple times?
When I was having this issue, I just got into the habit of squeezing both sides of my phone (power button and volume up key) twice and my screen would always come back on.
Somehow or another, it seems to have stopped. Not sure what I did to make it stop since I've done so much trying to figure out an unrelated issue. I never looked through the logcat to see what was happening back when I was having the screen lock issue, so now I am curious.
I remember this was a common term used in Windows Mobile development (Omnia, Omnia II)
Which is where I first admired Adryn's work
Thank you for making my devices the way they should have been
Said my Frozen Yogurt-filled Fascinate (EB01)
thanks for the patch. i didnt know what the hell was wrong with my phone.
Installed SC 2.4 and the patch, but I'm still getting the sod. This is really driving me crazy now and there seems to be almost no information out there. I ran the stock bloated rom for several days without any problems so I'm just about to the point of going back to it.
For informational purposes, I'm running SC 2.4 with ADW EX Launcher. The only apps I've installed other than what comes with SC are Beautiful Widgets, PowerAmp Pro, Switchpro widget, and HanDbase. I do not have a theme installed.
I patched this file yesterday and everything was fine. Woke up this morning to a phone that was off and it has been doing it intermintly all day long. I'm flashing again now. We'll see.

Doubt it'll work. I've re-flashed the rom and the patch several times and it hasn't worked for me. FWIW, it does the same thing with Blackhole 4.2. The only thing that has worked for me is to go back to the original stock eb01 rom.
Also should probably mention I'm running the non-voodoo version. Anyone have any thoughts as to whether I'd have better luck with the voodoo kernel or would it make things worse.
Strangely enough, I loaded this up today for occasional lag at wake up, not for sod & now I've seen sod... Might be an app I just loaded tho. Anyone ever try process monitor widget? It has a setcpu type function & I'm not so sure it wasn't the culprit
Sent from my SuperClean'd SGS
I've loaded the patch, but haven't had a chance to test if it works.
When it happened to me (SOD), it was only when running on battery, never when the charger was plugged in. I'm just waiting for my batt to charge back up to full, then I'll pull it off of the charger and see if it reoccurs.

Who is suffering from wake up lag?

Okay so i got this issue where i have wake up lag. anywhere from 2 to 5 seconds depending how long the phone has been asleep.
this was before and after factory reset.
anybody else has this?
Yes.

Do you guys use an underclocker like setcpu or cputuner for screen off? I was noticing wake lag, along with the screen not fading in properly. I would see a quick flash of the current open app before the lock screen would appear instead of the smooth fade from black. In my case, I suspect it's from under clocking. I decided to uninstall the underclocker since I'm not noticing that much improvement from it. So far my wake lag is resolved.

Yep same here...it's really starting to annoy me...I flashed back to stock 1.5.7 and initially it looked like it was resolved but then it came back. I upgraded to 1.8.3 and saw the same wake up lag (2-3 seconds). This is all stock no 3rd party apps installed yet. I noticed that when the phone is plugged in it responds really fast without lag must be a suspend thing to save battery when not plugged in. I rooted, installed gladiatrix and etc. still a problem. Really annoying the hell out of me.

I get the same problem, rooted, unrooted, all P Roms and with or without widget locker. When my missus tried to unlock the phone once, she locked it again about three times as she kept re pressing because it didnt respond.
same here... wake up lag... dont know why.... im rooted, sideloading and gladatrix 3
im using setCPU to underclock on screen off.. ill try without it
I too have wake up lag, always. I'm on a US atrix, 1.8.3 with gladiatrix installed. It did it on stock 1.8.3 too.
I'm not using setcpu or any kind of lock screen app/mod.
Same here, so hard to wake up sometimes to go into work.
oh on the device my bad it happens from time to time actually. but on the most part its fine.
I was just messing around a bit more, and it seems to only be after the screen has been off for at least 15 or so seconds? So if I just go on/off/on/off/on/off it's fast, but if I do on/off/wait more than 15 seconds/on I get the ~2second pause.
Blah.
My phone was working fine, then wakeup lag. I started looking at running processes and noticed the browser was using 100mb of ram.
Killed it and all is well again.
I've had up to 10 seconds lag...usually about 3 though. Using WigetLocker.

anyone find a solution to this? mine is about like a second lag. rooted 1.8.3 running greyblur
Any update on this? It happens on all pseudo-roms?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I'm rooted and this has occurred for me since I got the phone on the day of it's release no matter if it's rooted or what p-rom is installed. Sometimes the only way I can get it to wake up is to hold the power button in until the power down prompt wakes it up (though this isn't a frequent occurence).

Phone has a slow response randomly and I have to reboot to fix it.

I wanna know if anyone else has this issue or not when click an app like a game it takes up to 10 seconds for it to run and after exiting sometimes the main screen is very delayed and sometimes unresponsive when scrolling left and right. I also have an issue of the phone not wanting to switch back to 4g if in 3g or 1x just stuck until I reboot or restart it. Wanna know if I should get this one replaced or not. Also GPS is horrible never accurate. It say in running little kids on the sidewalk over constantly or running threw people house. I have factory data restored it but same problem. Need to know if I need new one?

It does happen. Try a different kernel or over clocking.
this happens to me occasionally, usually only when the battery is hot/doing a LOT of things at once. (meaning when i'm charging and using pandora over bluetooth, wireless tether, and waze at once) the phone lags up so much that when i press the home button, the haptic vibrate stays on for about 3 seconds.... this is when i know that its happening - and i'll just pull the battery...
If you're running stock & it's been like that since day one, you might consider exchanging it. If you're running a custom rom/kernel, reflash & leave it at default settings for a few days & see if the problems resolve
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I've never had the lag issue you speak of, however, the gps issue I have seen, but has been fixed in recent custom roms and will be addressed in the update. If you are on stock, you might want to just wait it out for 9 more days till the OTA rolls out. If you are using a custom rom/kernel combo, what are you using?

I also forgot to mention that i'm on BAMF 1.8 with the kernel that it comes with.
If your rooted, i'd recommend unchecking your "set at boot" and profiles in SetCPU, reboot, and see if it continues. As said above, if unrooted... a call to verizon may be in order.
My phone is not rooted every phone I have rooted besides like 2 I have bricked. But yeah I don't get why they didn't run this stupid phone a dule core. I got to play with a phone that had a dule core and response is so amazing.
Then you should take it back to verizon & exchange it for another. Your Tbolt shouldn't be like that out of the box. I've never had GPS issues, even on stock it would lock within a few seconds. And dual core is overrated unless you have apps that actually take advantage of it (not many). No wonder you were impressed with dual core phones lol. My mildly overclocked Tbolt runs Sense just as fluidly as any Atrix runs MotoBlur

[Q] Alien ROM issue

Just wanted to say Thank you to every devoted developer we have here. I have the ATRIX and love my phone. Last night i finally unlocked my bootloader and installed Ken's Alien rom. Best ROM ive tryed hands down. so far its running real smooth. just a few setbacks. For somereason when i go into the menus in my camcorder or camera and look at the resolutions they are all white. like a white text on white bg. but you long press and I can read them. Last night the phone was randomly going to sleep. even while i was interacting with the phone the screen would just shut off. I turned nightime bat saver off and also fixed permissions. It hasnt happened again today. One more question. Im looking to overclock it and i have been reading here for quite a few days before i even attempted unlocking and installing custom rom. I wanted to know the most stable 1 out of the 3?

The reason your screen is turning off is in pocket detection is on. Go to settings>display>uncheck in pocket detection. when you wake your phone (not unlock, just wake) does the menu button unlock for you too? Its neat but I find sometimes it unlocks my phone sometimes by accident. Is there a way to turn this feature off?

EVO LTE, I keep finding more and more glitches/bugs. How about you?

First off this is my first phone that I got on release date. So I'm assuming bugs should be present? My music app will show the album covers one day and not the next. In the phone when I click people then find a contact I want and click on it the screen turns black and does nothing. I restarted the phone and it fixed this but not the album art problem. Also ill open the stock browser app and sometimes it will just freeze on a white page and never load. This morning I turned on my phone and no data would come in or out but data was enabled. Restarted phone and it got fixed. It's just getting annoying restarting my phone a lot. Anyone else experienced these problems?

Yup, but just sit back and enjoy having the latest and greatest device.
I too find a few little bugs that irritate me. But I usually depend on our fabulous development community to iron things out for me. Have some patience and try out fresh rom.

Chrome has been known to cause all the browsers on the device to freeze up. Happens if you install it on a transformer prime.
Uninstall chrome-Uninstall flash, and reinstall flash. Then use a different browser, stock, opera..
See if it locks up like that again.
I also see you have a low signal, on an already slow 3g network. Could be data related, does it ever happen over wifi?

Flash would just be in your list of "My Apps" in the play store. If you don't have it there it's just not installed and you'd just have to uninstall chrome and not worry about the flash portion.
Actually I am the opposite. I'm officially in love with my phone.
At first I was worried about the yellow screen and battery life that I was getting (compared to others). The yellow screen has seem to go away with time (looks like a glue thing) and a few tweaks and my battery is stellar.
So I'm officially all in on my phone. Really an incredible phone.

Would you mind sharing your battery tweaks? I'm getting decent battery life but I'm certainly not blown away.
I also have the yellowish tint to my screen and I'm hoping mine also clears.
luckily, most of those bugs sounds software related (sense 4), so when u smack a custom ROM on there it'll be fine. when you get a phone on launch day/first batch you wanna look for hardware defects (light leakage, loose vibrating motor, dead pixels, overheating battery, etc) - those wont go away

I threw together a post in the official battery stat thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27106429&postcount=55
But I went from 2.5 hours (12 hours of total time) of screen time to now 5 hours (1+ days). So they helped me.
I am feeling much better about the yellow screen. It was driving me nuts when I first noticed it. I started using 'screen adjuster' app and added blues. But now I don't even use it because the whites (and warmness) have dissipated a bit.
