Hey Guys,
I tried this rom from the beginning.. but there's always been this GPS issue,
I updated Radios, re-flashed Radios after Flashing the rom, always did a wipe,
tried enabling GPS before flashing the ROM (some things, other people helped)
nothing helped for me, and i've also seen, there're many other people out there, which do have the same problem.
I like GPS myTracks, Navi, etc... everything can work fine but I don't want to restart my phone and loose about 10-15% of the power to just en-able GPS... that's way off...
so my question: some guys, brought it to work...
what radios do you use? which kind of version...
how did you flash? anything un-ordinary ;=) etc..
Please, I think there is a solution, except fixing the bug ;P
greets,
I used the latest radio version, but you have to enable gps after flashing the Rom and then restart the phone, once that's done, gps will work with no problems and as far as I know, it doesn't reset if rebooted

thanks for the answer... sry, didn't have any time to test it earlier...
this does not work for me...
when I reboot (after first reboot with GPS enabled) with GPS dis-abled...
i _again_ never get sattelites... :/

Are you disabling GPS and then trying to get satelites?
Is there any reason why you just don't leave GPS enabled? it won't effect anything unless its being used.
true?

I just want wo boot the phone, with GPS dis-abled, and want to enable it, just when i want to use it! that's it
so no, i'm not disabeling it and try to get satellites, I just want to boot with GPS disabled...

Okay, that's a different approach ;=)
So you have GPS always en-abled and it does not drain power? does not effect anything? and is just being used if an application like MyTracks, GoogleMaps etc is beeing opened?
What if GoogleMaps is one of the 6 'last-used' applications? sure about that?
thanks a lot for uR response,

I always have GPS enabled without any battery problems. It is only on and working when an app asks for it. Google Maps stops asking for it when you hit the return button. You can tell that for yourself. When in Google maps you can see the GPS is being used because it shows on the notification bar at the top as an icon of a white dish with green arcs. Then hit return and that icon disappears. All good apps let go of GPS as soon as they are finished with it.
BTW the list you get when you hold down the home button is only a history list - it does not mean they are working in the background.
thanks

didn't knew that, just thought those are those (for developers) who are in 'pause' mode, others are closed... thought i've read this somewhere.. but not sure..
Isn't it disturbing you, that GPS is enabled all the time?

Why should it? Just because it is enabled does not mean it is actually on or using any power. It means it is waiting to be turned on when an app I decide to open asks for it. So, for example, my sat nav, google maps, yelp, or google places all turn it on when they open and then turn it off when they finish. They are all "good" in the sense of being well designed apps, that do what they are supposed to. Sorry if you don't like that term but that is what I mean.
Not so well designed ones, like, for example, Shop Savvy don't switch it off. And that is annoying. But in any event I know whether it is on or off by looking at the notifications bar - if the dish icon is there then it is on, if not it isn't, even though I have it enabled.
If it starts coming on randomly then I know I have a rogue app doing something in the background that I have not asked it to do.
hehe thanks man
it's just the thing...
-my location
-GPS
-worldwide
PLUS: en-abled
but i understand now 'good apps' just use it on demand,
bad always have the connection open
just an open connection start battery draining
i just wanted to prevent all this by simple en-ableing it JUST when i need it
like things usally are used turned on - on demand hehe
thx man
finally : it does NOT WORK
so guys...
finally, now tested it about 1 week with the above congifuration...
GPS always on ... on boot... the whole time the phone is up
- @ modaco custom rom: i started any GPS app, and within about 10 seconds, at max 30secs i got a working GPS lock on about 4-7 satellites...
and was able to locate my me
here (vanillain 5.2): i start.. wait.. get 'to see' 2-4-5 satellites (fast) but they don't lock, they vanish for about 1sec, again 5-6 satellites ... sometimes 7 but the just don't lock ---- waiting---- waiting---- ...
i can hold my position: wait for some minutes.. then i ---- get a lock.. then also gps-tracking works... somehow, sometimes
but guys, i really don't have that much time.
I want to get GPS locks during walking.., at any time, fast. i want to get it fast, and everything else ist just '''''BS'''''
so for me: it's not working at vanillain..
that's not worth calling...it works... sry
TIP PS:
guys, switch to 'legendroid 1.01' for working GPS!
i got a lock within 5 secs in my room!!! to 8 satellites...
and enabled GPS after boot (it was dis-abled at boot time) at first boot for the first time,
everything works perfekt
thanks a lot at the developer of legendroid

Then stick to the stock ROM. I have no problem picking up GPS position very quickly with my unrooted unmodded Hero. And I get it when I am walking or driving

so guys.. i can confirm...
using this radio (i need to boot with GPS en-abled..) but at least...
i always get a GPS signal and lock within minutes...
>>>gps works with radio version: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 - boot with GPS on<<<
Being an iPhone 3G and then 4 user for over 3 years, I decided to switch to android. First bought an HTC incredible S because the Atrix wasn't unlocked back then yet.
The HTC was nice but it was kinda awkward to hold in the hand, having a thinner body all around.
Now I got the atrix and its pretty awesome.
I got a Bell Atrix, unlocked it, and installed the latest cherrypi 0.7 on it. I also carrier unlocked it to use it on fido network. There are a couple of issues:
1) I didn't setup motoblur when I first booted cherrypi, or was there the option? I forgot already. But now, when I go to accounts and tap on the facebook icon to set it up nothing happens. I wanted to setup facebook in order to get it sync with my contacts so I can get the pictures onto my contacts. Is this right? HTC sense seems to work flawlessly in this regard. I remember with bell stock rom 2.2.2 I did setup motoblur and the contacts did show their facebook displays. Should I reflash cherrypi and setup blur? I dont see any way of setting up now.
2) I tried to use the mobile hotspot, everything seems fine, but when my laptop or iphone 4 connects to it, there's still no internet. Connection seems fine and it gets the IP too, but nothing works...
3) The wireless settings section seems to be missing a lot of options... such as enable/disable data, data roaming etc.... using a toggle widget for data works, but how come the option is not in settings?
4) I purchased extended controls widget, and it seems that the flash button is not working on my atrix? it used to work fine on the incredible s. Droidlight seems to work though...
5) Sometimes when I reboot I get greeted with a bunch of "problem loading widget". This is really annoying coz I have to delete them and put add the widgets all over again. This happened with the inc S too when I modded/played with the rom too much and got it fixed when i did a full wipe and rom flash again. I'm tempted to do this now with the atrix, see if it fixes some issues.
6) Is it possible to add android native support for more languages? I have searched a bit and it seems that ppl say "cyanogen" or "more locale" more locale useless for me, coz you dont get the keyboard... ( i want traditional chinese inputs ) and cyanogen for the atrix is not stable yet right? Can't we just just for example extract the languages from lets say a taiwanese atrix rom or an HTC rom and add it into the current rom? I could just use the chinese input in the market... but it's not ideal... also, i wonder if it's possible to get speech recognition for chinese language and not just english?
ok this is getting too long, I will leave it at that for now..
It'd be great of anyone could give me some insight into these problems... I'm fairly new to android... sorry if some of the questions have been answered... but I have tried searching already. Could these be a bell atrix problem only? I just wish bell could release an official GB update already... Threads specific to bell atrix is fairly limited here too.
million thanks in advance!
1) I haven't tried cherrypi, but could it be one of those ROMs where an attempt has been made to strip out Motoblur, so Motoblur doesn't work on that ROM?
2) I don't know, but I know it works on stock 2.2.2 and the leaked Bell 2.3.4 because I've used it with my laptop.
3) Data roaming and stuff like that are under Settings > Wireless Networks > Mobile Networks ... At least on the stock ROMs.
4) - 6) I don't know about these.
Since it's so easy to flash ROMs with clockwork mod, why don't you go back to 2.2.2 or 2.3.4 and verify that all your accounts are setup properly? Also check your tethering at that time and other settings. If Motoblur is setup properly once, when you sign into Motoblur from any ROM the next time all your accounts will carry over.
thanks for the reply.
blur works on that rom, it's just that i didn't set it up at the beginning.
Actually, I just did a wipe and installed cherrypi again and this time i did setup motoblur, so i have the facebook account setup in there now. I do get facebook profile pictures now, but it doesn't seem to be consistent. depending on which widget i use, sometimes facebook profile pics are not used for contact displays. It seems that android contact list is kinda messed up. Is there anyway to actually force the sync and merge of all the contacts from different networks and put them up on google contacts? and what is the difference between "favorites" and "android starred"?
@maledyris how's the leaked bell 2.3.4? how's the battery life? any issues? I did see a post somewhere saying it wasn't good. no specifics...
As for roaming settings, I found it hidden under "battery and data management"???? lol...
After re-flashing cherrypi i found a strange behaviour of the battery.
I did a battery calibration before flashing and it showed around 4200 mAh in battery calibration app... then i did the flash of cherrypi when my battery was around 50%...
After booting up again... the indicator showed 80%!!... went to battery calibration app and it showed 3730mAh..... so then I kept using and reinstalling apps... and started charging again at 40%... when it reached 100% the battery calibration app showed 4170mAh!! What's going on?
If you're happy with cherry at the moment, I would stick with that, or try something else. The leaked Bell 2.3.4 is still kind of buggy.
Battery life is better than the leaked French Orange 2.3.4. Sometimes I get good battery, other times, not so good... I didn't fully track down what was causing it.
WebTop was broken. Plugging the device into USB or unplugging it may cause a random reboot. My phone froze and reboot occasionally when using the YouTube app. On some occasions at night when I wasn't using the phone (ie. it was on a table or something) I would notice it rebooting. It's pretty unstable at the moment.
That battery calibration issue where battery goes up after a reboot, that's a known bug in these 2.3.4 based ROMs, but I believe there is a fix for that. I never tried it though. Search for battery fix, it should be on one of the first few pages of the dev forum.
Oh, almost forgot, that Facebook profile picture stuff you were talking about. Look for Photo Unlocker by ChainsDD. Basically this unlocks profile pictures that have been marked as restricted for use by third party apps. Not sure about the merging of contacts thing... Don't they merge in the contacts on your phone already? I see some Google+ and my normal contacts in my Android contacts so I know it's at least merging those...
oops, i just noticed that the batterycalibration apps displays mV not mAh... so not the capacity.... so the max mV is 4200 is seems.
I'm gonna try the ninja rom just to see.
They seems to be merged on the phone, it's just that not all the contact widgets access the contacts the same way I guess.. so on some of them, it doesnt show... like on the LP people widget.
I did another reboot on the newly flashed cherrypi and again... my widgets failed to load except LP widgets... anyone knows what causes widgets not to load?
I also installed GO Launcher EX and played with switching launchers with Home Switcher... but everytime i press on "set default" in there it just crashes Home Switcher.
I will try the photo unlocker like you said and see. EDIT: photo unlocker did the trick!! thanks man!

In the stock bell ROM, you can disable data in Settings -> Data Manager -> Data Delivery. Same for roaming/background data. I can also see disabling the data roaming option in Settings -> Wireless & network settings -> Mobile Networks.

I have the WiFi only Flyer and I am running the offical leaked honeycomb ROM and I noticed that cell standby was back yet again. I have fast boot disabled as well. Please someone fix this, it is getting VERY annoying.
Is this because the leaked version is GSM based? It's possibly the radio software is causing the battery drain on the wifi model(???) . Just a guess though. I remember dell streak owners going through a similar thing.
I apologize if this theory has already been debunked or addressed. Haven't been following the development thread.

Well I had the issue with LeeDroid 2.3.4 so I disabled fastboot and that fixed it. However fastboot is already disabled on the honeycomb ROM.

Leedroids (awesome DHD dev) is GSM based too I believe. Did you experience the cell standby on the stock wifi rom?
If you're running Globatron's version you may want to try his development thread. I understand the support has been awesome.

If you are running the latest HC from GLobaltron, you should not see this IF.
at the start-up initial screens you picked Wifi only, NOT wifi / 3g when you selected your language, Google account etc. If you did not do that correctly, then the Flyer is trying to initialize a non-existing 3g radio. You might have to reset to factory default and go through user setup again.
I know that I chose WiFi only. I didn't have the issue in stock gingerbread ROM. I did use Globatrons method.
I'm on GLobaltron's leaked official HC and at first everything was great. Standby battery is fine, no mobile network. After installing some apps (I feel Skype might be the one to blame) I suddenly noticed that Cell network (whatever it is called in settings) was eating battery on Wifi only Flyer. After some research I got to several fixes:
1) Disable Fastboot (was already disabled)
2) Open Calculator and punch in !+!+4636+!+! to get to the setting and turn mobile network off. For some reason that thing doesn't want to stay off on my flyer. I'm suspecting some stupid app is doing something wrong there.
3) Open up Root Explorer and delete/move/rename phone.apk, telephony..apk and mms.apk.
After some screwing around with this, my Standby Battery run time is back to normal. For some reason "Mobile Network Signal" shows yellow (in battery info) instead of not showing anything like before. Well at least it isn't Red anymore, like it was when I was having problems (I guess because it was actively looking for signal). I usually turn Wifi off when screen is off, and last time I checked it Flyer lost only 1% of battery during 9 hour night sleep (from 100% to 99%) which is OK in my book.
I try to delete them in File Expert with root permissions and they don't delete.
If you have a wifi only Flyer and the HC latest root ROM, ( the wifi version, not the 3g version ) is installed you should not see any 3g signal bars. So I suspect you installed the wrong version perhaps.

I don't know about OP, but I personally have installed Wifi only version on my Wifi only Flyer. I didn't see any bars, but when my Flyer was misbehaving I went to battery stats and have seen Cell standby (of something like this) eating battery. It showed something like 10h (or whatever time it was disconnected) on battery, 100% without signal. And once again, I didn't have that issue right away. That issue came up after some apps where installed. I have tried to track it down, but after some time didn't feel like dealing with it anymore and just renamed system files. It fixed my issue.
My Wifi only Flyer on Wifi only ROM shows Mobile Network Signal in battery stats as a Yellow line. Have no clue what that means, but at least now it doesn't drain my battery.
I did download the WiFi only ROM. Tried using the calc trick, and it was working fine for a bit then the radio was on again.

Mikey, try flashing this from recovery:
http://www.multiupload.com/7CEDYMOSRZ
I already downgraded. I prefer GB personally.
I've been playing around with cm7 since release, internal build so I haven't run into the brick problem, but I have noticed a couple issues that I never had with a plain 1.4.0 rooted nook tablet.
First, I am losing wifi connectivity when I let the tablet sleep for more than a few minutes. Wifi will remain on, but just scans indefinitely while finding no networks. Sometimes I have to toggle wifi off and on several times before it starts working again. I have never had it lose connectivity while it was active and doing something, only when I set it down for several minutes and then wake it up.
Secondly the youtube app has locked up my tablet requiring a reboot several times. Sometimes this happens on the first video played, sometimes I can get up to 4 or 5 before the screen just goes black and all input is ignored. I would have left this info on the alpha release thread, but I can't post there yet and wanted to pass this info along. I'm having a great time fooling around with it, and so far these are the only issues I've noticed.
I haven't had the wi-fi isses that I've noticed. Only things I've ran into are those already being discussed in the dev forum - the near-brick experience and larger apps not installing.
In spite of almost bricking, I've still been using the alpha over the last couple days and am definitely loving the freedom and speed over stock. Can't wait to see how awesome it becomes with further development.
The wifi issue can be fixed by adjusting the settings. You just need to turn off wifi sleep. I think this is a long time cm7 bug and not unique to this build. I have reverted to stock for now so I can't guide you through it, but I am pretty sure it's an easy adjustment. (I couldn't go without hulu while in the middle of watching a series.)

Yep, you just go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> WiFi Settings then press the menu button. This brings up a small menu bar with two options. Tap "Advanced" and you can change your wifi sleep policy there.

I believe the brick issue is in both the internal and SD release. Be sure to stay away from that SD card format button.

Yeah, I'm not sure where the misconception that it's the SD-Card version causing the problem, unless it's just confusion because the problem was cause by an SDCard Format....I think the issue occurs in either, and I know for sure the internal is succeptible to it, because mine is internal and I was an early-bricker.
Ok, my fault for not being clear I guess. I have no conceivable reason to format an sd-card from within the cm7 alpha release so I have continued using it. Turning wifi to always on seems to have fixed my wifi issues, with a negative impact on battery life.
Youtube is still crashing my NT with regularity but that probably has something to do with the generally bad video performance.

Yeah, Celtic and Gonce are working on fixing the video drivers. Right now they're a bit iffy.
-Unable to install some .apks and some apps from the market.
-Color is weird in some games (like blue instead of green)
-B&N Nook app not syncing or not working at all.
I have not used Netflix on it yet so I'm not sure of the quality for that or youtube. I have no need to wipe SD card so will continue to explore any bugs.

CM7 beta bug report
Hello, I can't post to the development forum yet, but I thought the devs working on the next CM7 release for the NT should know about a potential bug. Also, I've only began using an android device about a month ago, so please forgive any noobish remarks. If after reading this, someone thinks it's important for the upcoming CM7 build release, please let someone on the development team know. Thanks.
I've been using an internal install of the beta build since it was released yesterday morning.
Everything has been working, very well, and I haven't been attempting to format sd cards from the device.
I've had one crash of ADW launcher when trying to add a playlist through the music player widget. I had a minor wifi hiccup that required toggling the wifi on and off to resolve. And a crash of the notification bar, when I attempted to click on an email notification message, which resolved by itself, seconds later.
The bug I'm most concerned about happened just about an hour ago. I noticed the battery getting low, so i plugged it in, powered on. It started charging, so i left it alone, a little while later, I looked at it, and the "n" on the charger had changed from orange to green, indicating a full charge. I awoke the nook from sleep to find that it was no longer charging, but that the battery was only about half charged. I unplugged it, and plugged it back in, but the status light was orange for only a second, before changing back to green, and no more charging.
I powered it off, and plugged it it (which of course made it turn back on /facepalm), but then powered it down through the power console as soon as CM7 booted. I has been powered off, and as far as i can tell charging normally, as indicated by the orange status of the charger's indicator. I intend to leave it powered off, and charging, until such time as the charging indicator turns green.
There may be some information here that is valuable to the Developers and you have attempted to articulate everything well.
However, is there some reason you chose to create a new thread instead of posting your issue In This One?
Perhaps the moderators can combine these threads but I'm sure the developers are more apt to look in one thread then trying to chase down multiple ones.
Good luck with your issues.
Aw crud. Totally didn't see that thread. If a mod could please combine, it would be appreciated.
Maybe the bug thread should be stickied?

I've been having crashing/force closes trying to stream video from sites like youtube.....but with a more mature content....if you know what I mean.
If I'm being too obscure....basically I can't stream porn onto it. Which, imo, is a device-killing bug!
(not really)
On the plus side, it seems like it charges pretty well through a USB connection now, where, if I'm not mistaken, it would not do so on stock. Although I only had stock for like 3 hours before zerging it, so I can't compare it very well....
I was also sitting up waiting on the release of this and have been running it every since then. the only real bugs I have seen is the unable to install alot of apps from the market as it gives the cant write to sdcard which is documented in the dev forums. my wireless does not seem to drain my battery much at all but the device itself never wanted to go into sleep mode unless I forced it into sleep. I changed the screen timeout and changed it right back and the issue resolved itself. Wireless does commonly go from full signal to 2 bars though but even when at 2 bars the connection seems fine and no loss of speed. as far as apps over 20 meg. the only ones I tried I had the apk file stored on my sd card and installed from there and they all installed just fine.
the device seems way more responsive now and I am absolutely loving it although i do miss the nook reader app itself and the one I downloaded from the market gives ab internal error : exception executing the command when I try and sign in Cant wait for the next release alpha or beta I would love to test it.

Go to the "Nook" folder on your sd card, then delete it. then try to sign in on the nook reader. This has worked for others who now have the nook app up and running on cm7

-Unable to install some .apks and some apps from the market.
-Color is weird in some games (like blue instead of green)
-B&N Nook app not syncing or not working at all.
I have not used Netflix on it yet so I'm not sure of the quality for that or youtube. I have no need to wipe SD card so will continue to explore any bugs.

Mostly I'm seeing the occasional app not installing. Every time it has been because "sdcard is not mounted". Even though it obviously it mounted. Aldiko reader is my current villain in this regard. No Wireless problems, but I changed the advanced settings right away. Interface is nice and fast.
Does anyone have any problems with installing games like need for speed

Hi,
I'm running LeeDroid's Honeycomb ROM on my Flyer. My Flyer us the 32gb version with 3G.
Although I have a SIM installed for a lot of the day the building I'm in has no signal. This means that it seems that my battery is being hit as the flyer continually tries to locate a 3G network.
I can obviously help prevent this by putting the Flyer into Airplane mode, but this means that Bluetooth and Wireless are also disabled. Whilst they can both be manually re-enabled I was wondering if there was some option/widget that I've overlooked that will disable just the 3G radio.
Thanks
Iain

Pull up the built-in calculator.
Turn to landscape mode to reveal advanced function keys.
Enter: !+!+4636+!+! and hit equals
Select "Phone Information" and scroll to the bottom
Click "Turn off radio"
To restore, simply go through it again and hit "Turn on radio"
Or just reboot (it's not sticky).
Thank you.
I realise now that the LeeDroid Tweaks feature also provides access to that same Diagnostic information, therefore it's really easy (at least easier than remembering the cryptic number!) to get there.
Thanks again
Iain
