Yes, i'm problem with GPS, but the technical assistance service of LG in Spain says it`s okay.
The signal recepction is horrible. In the car... impossible.
Almost like my english
Pas milleur le français :angel:
Currently I use a bluetooth gps module, but is a bad solution. Today I received an updata but solves nothing.
My GPS is ok, compared to Moto Defy Mini that I previously owned.
You have to mount the phone on he dash or the windshield when in the car, for proper reception.
I fixed my GPS this way:
- first, you need root for the following app
- get app FasterGPS from Google Play
- set Continent and Country/Region in the app
That is all. It works 100% better after changing these 2 settings.
Yes... i'm rooted, fasterGPS... but... look this:
Did you set your Continent and Region in FasterGPS, and restarted the phone after that?
Mine was set to China when I bought it, and it took 15 minutes to get position. After this settings in FasterGPS, it works like a charm.
I also use GPS Status & Toolbox to update AGPS data. This one will start in the background with every app that uses GPS, and I have impression it help too in real-time.
Could you guys let me know how did you root your minis? I really need to fix my GPS and if you say that it works, I want to try it.
BUT - I was not able to root my phone using towelroot and I cannot find any other way to root it. Where is the problem? Thanks!

My wife receive her LG G2 Mini and the problem of the Fix GPS is different if i change my Operator.
WIth my Sosh operator (from my LG G2), fix is fast (5s), with Virgin operator, Fix may take 1 min or more ..... But otherwise, without any network (plane mode) it may take 3-4 min
Wow, thanks to this topic, now I don't have GPS issues and it works great.
Downloaded fasterGPS, set up everything and I'm good to go.
I've been playing ingress for months and it was a pain to have awful GPS signal.
fasterGPS worked for me too. It couldn't lock at all before and now it's perfect.

First, let me say that searching XDA-DEV with google is not an easy task.
Anyhow, I'm having this issue of phone calls being dropped after 2 to 5 minutes of talking. Signal is strong, bluetooth or no bluetooth. Uninstalled apps that recently got installed and the problem still persist. Is there a system log of phone calls, etc that can help me troubleshoot this issue ?
I have X7501 running original stuff.
Thanks

I would say it was almost certainly the fault of your network, a simple trick to test would be to go into the phone properties then into band and lock the band onto the old 2G signal instead of the fancy new 3G type and see what happens
PS do you really have an FM radio on your phone, does it use the Headphones as an aerial or does it just work !! is there any chance you can upload a screen shot of the radio app !
thanks in advance !
Owain94 manages CM6 now.
You can visit his thread at HERE
WHY?
I'm getting myself a nice HTC Desire Z !
But I'll stay in touch with Owain94, so that when we find interesting stuff we can share it with each other. I also still can help to develop new things for the rom, I just don't have a phone to test it myself anymore.
But this is not a bad thing, Owain94 is an AMAZING proffesional at the work he's doing, and without him the rom would never be as far as it is now. In fact, all I did was get it booting and fix the touchscreen and GSM, all the hardware keyboard, audio and everything else is done by him.
optional packages:
Update.zip to install LauncherPro and remove ADW.Launcher
Update.zip to install ADW.Launcher and remove LauncherPro
Update.zip to install GingerBread Keyboard
To enable the GingerBread Keyboard go to Settings -> Language & Keyboard -> enable Gingerbread-keyboard

probz not flash is for ARMv7 and mini and mini pro has ARMv6
Well, in case pro doesn't have bluetooth and data I think that x10 mini and X8 are more similar than x10mini and pro.
I've been using this rom(playing and modifing) for 2-3 days. I have bluetooth, GPS, calls, data(atleast edge), sms, sensors, compass and video decoder. But yeah, cellpad and pin entering is bit out of screen.

Yeah that's true, we pro'ers use some weird touchscreen mods which I've figured out by now, 5 files and a call for ts_firmware_update.sh inside init.delta.rc
I haven't extensively tested yet though, I'm still to try all sensors and gps.
I have a question since you're a mini user. Are you promted to select your network provider at any time in setup or on first internet connection? Because we pro'ers are, and if you don't select your provider you won't be able to connect to the internet. If you have this as well then it should be easily fixable. If you don't have this it's probably some SE app of library

settings -> wireless & network -> mobile networks -> access point names *press option key* -> new APN and fill in the data
for t-mobile Netherlands for example
Name - T-mobile Internet
APN - internet
username - t-mobile
password - t-mobile
and you can find the ANP data on you providers site
so that is not a bug right

Bought the Atrix last week and unlocked it with the help from the webshop as I'm in Belgium, no problem connecting to Mobistar wich is my provider and data connections works great. But I'm having real problems making phonecalls and recieving calls; the phone reboots or the dialer hangs and it looks like a call is going on when it's not, phone still works but flashing green in the notification area and it's impossible to hang up, need to reboot. This happens like 80% of the times I try to make a call. After a reboot it works fine to call and hang-up one or two times then it crashes again.
Also noted that my Dialer often runs twice in the Running Apps manager - is that normal??
Anyone having the same issues or know what to do, reinstall the Dialer app --> if so how? Is it a hardware or software problem??
A little more info: when I recieved the device it was in a sealed Atrix box but the phone was used and already had an active Blur account so I had to do a hard reset to be able to use it... --> was it returned 'cause of faulty dialer or radio... then resold to me... not nice if so...?
Tried to install dialer one app but it seems only to skin the original dialer...
It's a greate device and works great othervice but in the end it's still a phone... which should be able to make calls...
Help
Ive got an unlocked Atrix too and now in Germany, I have the same problem. Motorola should definitely look into this.
Here's a quick fix for it thou, (not permanent)....
1. type *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer
2. Chose Phone Information
3. Set preferred network to GSM only
Viola...its fixed
problem with this fix is that you wont be able to use your 3G network but the dialer should be working.
Thanks Nazrin (for both replies) !!
It sure did the trick, though no data access is not acceptable on a phone like this!!!
So this meens that all unlocked Atrix's in european GSM networks have the same problems? Haven't seen any others reporting this and there are quite a few in use I've noted in other forums.
Was thinking of trying to have mine replaced (which probably won't be easy and take long time...) but that won't change anything then??
We have to wait for the european version of Atrix rom I suppose??
Any others with the same problem??
No problems buddy, glad it worked..and i have to agree with you..this bug is unacceptable...it seems the phone just ***** up everytime it calls on utms (3g)...im sure there is more people with this problem...
Sent from my Supercharged MOTO ATX
I have the same problem
Hi guys, I have the same exact issue (I'm also in Belgium, on Mobistar). I'm somewhat glad to hear this is a generic issue, and not an issue with my specific phone. At least I can be fairly certain replacing it won't solve this issue then.
I made another post here before I came across this one, has a bit more info: we are seeing modem panics when using 3G + outbound call. I've also contacted Motorola support to no avail:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028771
You can also read there that I tried another operator, and it did not crash with that one (although 3G did disconnect).
Hopefully Motorola/Qualcomm will start to notice the bug when they release the phone globally, and release a fix.
Either that, or we all have phones from the same bad batch
This bug is really bad for users in europe....cant call on utms...
I really hope motorola takes this seriously cos if there's no fix via software updates then its moto gone for me
Guys, you are all on unlocked att atrix right? I do believe it is a simmiliar software glitch/bug/lock that you have porblems using it on non att networks as the problem with the wifi that it stops working for some of us (check the thread about it for more info). As all suggests there it is a config file problem, unfortunately i or anyone else doesnt know yet which one....
Yeah maybe..but funny thing is wifi is working without a glitch...will have to read that forum later...
Workaround options
So, since it seems we're not gonna get this fixed until there is a new radio/modem firmware available for flashing (and even then..), I've been looking for a workaround.
Found two potential applications that could do what we need: disable data completely when making an outgoing call, or switch to 2G:
- Sanity
- Superpower
I've tested the first (Sanity), and it does not work (fully). It does seem to disable data, but the bands aren't switched so our problem remains. I've contacted the developer here: http://tagliamonte.net/forum/thread-10.html. He seems to be very responsive, so given enough interest, I think he would add the functionality we require.
The second app I only came across today, and have not tried yet. It does not have a function to specifically switch bands when making an outgoing call, but it has a trigger for "Foreground application", so if we make that the dialer/contacts... Question remains if it will be able to do the switch.
Hopefully one of these will lead to a decent workaround for all of us!
Well done unknown...i will try these apps... but the real fix should be from moto...im always reading the net for anything that can solve this issue
reboots on incoming and outgoing calls
Same in Russia on Megafon network, I had to enter 4636 menu and use it as "GSM only". Even this does not fully solve problems, e.g. call forwarding does not show the new destination number while it does actually make the phone divert calls correctly.
My hope is that UK release will trigger new software version which will address this issue. ANYONE has news on this?
FIXED!
YAY! I just fixed this issue
What you need to do: flash the radio from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052914
You have to use RSD-lite, since sbf_flash will not work. Flash the 1.87 baseband and enjoy working HSPA (including unlocked upload speeds ^^)
Now I can finally appreciate this phone fully
Enjoy guys!

BTW my Atrix 4G works perfect for a year till this Dialer problem started past week.
I also use my phone as a full Linux computer when docked, and it works very fine.

[Sorry for problem in speaking]
i had that problem too , im using CM13 with Marshmallow Version of android
So . the easy way is :
***** search "Default" in settings. then choose " System dialer" as Default ! just it ****
but if there is no search bar in your setting . try this patch:
Android 6 : Setting/Apps then click the setting icon on top(may be diffrent in your case) , then Click on "default ...." then choose " System dialer" as Default! :fingers-crossed:
but in some cases that it didnt work . they have to reinstall gapps .
Or in official Roms , reset will be usefull
any quastions?
Hello,
I have a problem when using the phone with bluetooth headset.
When I perform a call from the device using the BT headset the other side hears my voice very distorted.
However when I receive a call the other side hear my voice very well.
I tested two different BT headsets and they all have the same problem.
I also tested those BT headsets with Samsung Galaxy S2 and they worked correctly.
Please help me solve this problem.

It does not work with certain network providers. In my country we have 3 cellular providers Pelephone,Cellcom, and Orange. Only Cellcom has a problem.
There is some kind of interference between BT transmission and Cellcom broadcast. My guess it is a HW issue in THL cellular phones.
So the best solution is to switch cellular provider.

I also found this bug in THL W100. This is probably design bug in all THL line of phones.
This phone is designed for Chineese market and I guess there were no problems with Chineese providers. Also they may have skipped some of the tests or limitations to reduce the phone price.
Aparently this is HW issue, so no software can fix it.
The only way to fix it is to switch the provider or give up the phone.

Looks like i found a fix for this, problem is in one of the parameters of the audio speech enhancement settings.
this is what i did :
enter engineer mode through moble uncle tools or gravity mod.
go to hardware testing
select audio
select speech enhancement
change common parameter to BT earphone
change parameter0 to parameter12
change the value to 20488
press back several times
reboot phone and test it
i came to this solution by comparing the differences to my jiayu in witch this was recently solved.
THL W8-16GB
Jiayu G4 Advanced 2GB/32GB
SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB2 7.0

After making a call (I use Lenovo p780) when I'm on 3g, the phone "falls out" the network. It restore the connection in few seconds, but it's annoying. It doesn't happen always, but very frequent
