My gps will not lock at all since I have flashed from nero to bionix v and now 1.2. I don't use my gps often so it is not the end of time and I follow som's directions to the letter when ever I flash any team whiskey roms and I have never had any bugs until now. Does anyone have a gps fix?

Try flashing a different modem. My GSP and data were both crap with KA7. They were both much better with KA6.

+1 ^. You could also try GPS restore. Downloaded from the market. Haven't used it myself cause my GPS has always worked. But I have seen alot of people use it and it fixed their issue.

All of the GB roms have the vmail notification bug. If you absolutely must have working vmail notification, then go with a Froyo rom

actually, I think the droidtheory series have a fix for vvm. Reported as working. Not sure why OP is being so picky about Youmail, it has been 100% rock solid for me.
I guess if you have to have a 100% working ROM, your best bet is to stay stock.

Please Advise ! I would love to have my voicemail notifications working. I'm running Infusetheroy. I've tried youmail, and one other.
Ready5 released a VVM fix for the alpha GB base. I believe its been added to the netflix sticky thread in the mods section. Don't know if VVM works on the new GB base. I've been running th3ory's 3D 6.02 and its terrific for me. I too use my phone for business and it just works, great battery, etc. Will likely run his Infuse release after its baked in awhile. But, this is working so well after a month of constant flashing, I am not ready to move to the new leak just yet.

A handful of my co-workers on various Verizon Android phones were saying that Gingerbread updates stop tethering apps from working, even if rooted and side-loaded.
I would like to try CM7 since it just released, but I can't lose my tethering! Am I worrying about nothing?
I'm using WiFi tether on CM7 and it works fine. You shouldn't have to worry since CM7 is not built by Verizon or anything, so they can't block tethering apps in the OS.

Can you link the wifi tether you use please, and let me know if you changed any settings. I'm rocking MIUI, not sure if that matters or not but doesn't hurt to try.
Thanks

I'm using this WiFi tether app: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wifi_tether_v3_1-beta2.apk
Once installed, I went to the settings, and changed the Device-Profile to Google NexusOne. Works great and it shouldn't matter if it's CM7 or MIUI.
I'm on the newest miui using wifi tether app with no problems

They are blocking tethering on stock roms, so if you are running CM7/MIUI etc you will be fine.
You may have to sideload. Verizon asked Google to hide certain apps, like PDAnet, from the market. This violates their net neutrality agreement, and they are being sued over it. Verizon stock updates are also set to tattle on you if you tether. If running touchwiz, I believe you need a modified kernel with dummy tether.

For devices the Verizon is giving an official Gingerbread build, they are slipping in ways to disable Wireless Tether. It's also hidden in the market, but it's easy to find an APK to install yourself. However, if you're running Gingerbread on the fascinate, you're doing it on a custom ROM, which doesn't have that nasty bit of Verizon code.

I am 99% certain I know the answer to this, but I just want to be 100% sure;
I am running SuperClean 3 Milestone 1, TW Launcher, and KGB Kernel with Voodoo enabled on my Fascinate. I just installed http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk, but haven't tried it yet. Is Verizon going to know if I am tethering with this configuration?
Thanks!
I think it honestly depends.
If you are using it to seach the web and do basic surfing than i dont think it matters to them.
If you start streaming Netflicks at HD quality or Bit Torrents [heavy bandwidth], they might suspect something.
I have used both the wifi tether and barnacle on ICS and GB for quick and dirty usage and i have never had VZW say a thing to me.
That is just my personal experience.
My $0.02:
I am running SC3 Milestone 2 and the KGB FA16 Kernel and have had no trouble tethering with my tablet or laptop using wifi tether 3.1 Beta 6.
You can pick your Beta flavor for the app using the link CCampos provided.
I have not tethered. Though I want to. (Hotspot feature) don't want Verizon to suspect something and then charge me.
Can't they charge me if they find out?
If I'm running CM7, will they still know?

My (very limited) understanding as of right now is that a custom ROM alone is not enough to keep Verizon in the dark. A think you need a custom kernel as well to be safe, and never use the Verizon hot spot app. Am I right?

All other discussion aside, clockwork mod has put a new app out that allows usb tethering without root on any ROM and can not be blocked by any carrier. Just search cwm or clock work mod in the market

Maybe Verizon can't block you from tethering with this app, but can they monitor if you are? And then hit you with a charge later, or drop you from service?
My. 02 cents.....I use an App called Open Garden Wifi with no problems at all.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Just throwing this out there: I've never seen any *confirmed* reports of Verizon retroactively charging customers for "illegal" tethering, or ending your service/contract. Not sure why people get so worried about getting caught, it's not like the phone police are gonna come take you to jail.
If I'm wrong on this and Verizon is in fact charging those who tether (who don't pay Verizon's tethering charge) or terminating their contracts, I'd love to see evidence to the contrary.
I ran up 18 gb last month. From Xbox live and other teathering because its my only access. Never have issues.

Is there a way to get the Fascinate working on US Cellular?

In my best guess, it would brick it. But thats just from Google searching random topics working midnights. You could try it, worst case scenario, you have to Odin a vzw ed05 stock rom

Yea I've never found much info from google. I wouldn't think it would very hard to do since they're the same phone on a cdma network. Guess I'll try flashing the ROM/radio and see what happens.

Good luck and happy flashing, just have Mr Odin handy lol

Actually I have a fascinate on a non Verizon network, so I have to flash massaints patch for cyanogen, but I could just flash a mesmerize MIUI ROM without flashing any patch and everything works.. it doesn't brick using MTD roms, I just don't know how it would work with touch wiz.. haven't tried it.

I'd prefer to stay on MIUI. Haven't had time to try flashing the mesmerize ROM yet but well try later.
Sent from my MIUI'd Mesmerize
I know you could flash the mesmerize rom on your fascinate and it would all work except for radio things. It won't connect correctly to VZW. But if you could convince USCC to take your ESN and add your device or however they do it then yes it would work.
Hi,
I'm using TeamWhiskey Froyo Rom and wondered if there is a later version that is recommended as daily driver. I see there are plenty of 4.x roms, but anyone is stable and good enough to replace the Froyo?
Thx.

Pick anyone, it's better for sure. I use Kingsoft Miui on Semaphore kernel, I know it's way better than Bionix 1.3.1 or Biwinning or no matter what Froyo you can think of. Go ahead, it's time to upgrade.
+1, all of the 4.1.2 ROMs , IMO, are stable. There has been great progress with GPS in these ROMs as well. Upgrade, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
I am Jack's smirking revenge.
Thx guys, I'll try to upgrade, got bored already with Froyo...

Ok, so I installed Slim Bean, really like it so far! Can't believe it's the same phone... Though I have some battery issues, need to check that, seems to be draining fast, I suspect the gps is keeping the system awake all the time, I remember it was an issue on ics roms...

Just wanted to update if others will read it, what I did to solve the gps wakelocks is to install this single file gps fix:

And also uninstalled the GPS Status app I had, it seemed to be interrupting the gps from working well. That's it, hope all problems are gone now...

Be warned that gps fixes that replace blobs can mix badly with emergency dialing and can cause intermittent (and in at least one case constant) RIL crashes when dialing an emergency number.

Also intermittent means it could work 90% but crash 10% of the time, so one test may not be conclusive. But frankly, I'm not sure if SlimBean uses the right libraries in the first place. prbassplayer/kravind can correct me if I'm wrong though.
How a 911 call is different from a regular call anyway? Why if regular numbers are working 911 won't?

Samsung used a special RIL request code for emergency numbers, so when we detect an emergency number, we use that code. When it does an emergency call it uses a command related to GPS and if the GPS libraries are out of whack, then the RIL can crash or receive corrupt GPS readings.
And also, 911 has to work even if no SIM card is present.

I am also interested in a daily driver but I don't trust Jellybean. I tried ICZen but its been acting weird lately. Any suggestions?
ParanoidAndroid 2.54-360 is a rock solid JB41 ROM!
Would you prefer my usual method of conflict resolution?
Ahhhhh, seems like the wake lock problem haven't gone away... It depends on how I reboot my phone, also I'm still unable to get a GPS fix.
I think this is the last Samsung device I'll bought, instead of making new devices every 3 weeks it would be better if they actually supported their devices by updating the os for instance...geeee.

Try CM10 nighty, and activate GPS for a minute right after boot if you want GPS after deep sleep.
Hi,
I could get a fix with my Nexus 7 device, is there a way to copy that "fix data" to my Vibrant device? maybe this will help it get a lock?

I don't think that's possible since you change your location.
You can use an external GPS which will surely provide a better lock than the internal GPS.
