Questions about CM 6 stable

I'm pretty new in this and I know that probably most of you guys know how to fix these issues. I was running CM6 stable before, but after a couple of weeks of using it I had decided to go back to the sprint stock firmware. Now I am thinking of going back again to CM 6 so I would like to know if some of you can help me out and tell me how to do it. These are somes of the issues that I have had:
1. After some minutes of being using Bluetooth, it disconnects.
2. I had an issue with the gps similar to the one with the bluetooth (it gets disconnected after seconds to being connected)
3. The phone frooze up a couple of times after deleting a photo from the galery right after taking it.
4. Problems with the market. The applications were not downloading properly.
5. Issues to sync contacts with facebook, were not updating after sync the contact.
6. The text messages were not working properly when it was a long message.

1. Unsure about this, I don't use it.
2. There is a fix for this that involves downloading gps status from the market. Details in the stable thread.
3. I think the gallery issue is still there, but only if you access it from the camera. Just exit out and then go to gallery.
4. Since I've updated my prl I haven't had the market problems.
5. New one for me, sorry, I don't know.
6. Download handcent. Set it to split 160 or more character texts. Then, it should work.
Hope this helps.

The newest Dec kernels fix the gallery issue.

Grab the latest nighty. They are now much more stable than the official stable. Darch is just busy and still hasn't made one of them official but I can tell you I'm on 89 and it never felt better.

[Q] Froyo GPS Lock Problem

Ok...so after updating to Froyo my GPS is not working. Not only that, my phone can't seem to find my approximate location even after enabling "Use Wireless networks". I used GPS Status app from the market and I confirmed the phone was seeing several satellites, but it was getting no lock. I had no problem with my GPS with 2.1 aside from losing my location occasionally when I drive through the downtown.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I'm running my phone on Rogers network, unlocked and rooted.

You didn't say what version of Froyo you are running but I'd change my modem file and use one of the alternate ones that DocRambone has. There's a thread on this but I find the ZSJPE (Hong Kong) version to be superb (and our company develops an app for the phone that uses GPS for golfers) - very quick, very accurate...

Oh I'm using JK4 from Bell..and kernel version 2.6.32.9....
Edit: Oh and I have also done factory reset/cache wipe...and it's still doing that...I want to see if I can fix this without changing the modem file or anything like that...

I'm having the exact same problem since upgrading to the official 2.2 release from 2.1
EDIT: Bell Galaxy S Vibrant, Unlocked and running on Rogers. Not rooted.

Ok...so I'm a bit relieved to know I'm not the only one out there...From the things I've been reading it doesn't seem to affect phones running on Bell networks..but shouldn't GPS be not affected regardless of the network you're running on? I don't see why it's refusing to get a lock...

I can't believe no one else is having this problem, maybe we're the only ones unlocking??

I was also having this problem. I updated to bell froyo using kies, and am unlocked using rogers. I loaded gps test, set it so it wouldn't shut off the screen, and let it run for about 30 min in a window. Eventually it got solid lock on a couple sats and it now seems a lot snappier to get a lock.

Ok, good news! At least for me anyway... I decided to try keeping my GPS on and let my phone to try and find my location..however long it was going to take. I don't think it took me 30 minutes but it took me good 10 minutes before my GPS found my location. I think the problem was because I'm having trouble getting location information based on my wireless network and updating to Froyo and doing a factory reset must have deleted my satellite schedule. Right now I'm just so glad to find out my GPS isn't broken! :-D You should try the same thing I did.

Thanks Yeria, that sounds like the problem we're having.
I do find that if I give it enough time, It will get a pure GPS lock, but I'm not getting any aGPS (the network based)
That thread you link sounds like the solution, but unfortunately I can't seem to access the file they tell you to modify

I too have GPS problems right after upgrading to official froyo. And it kept getting worse when i tried custom ROM. I tried factory resetting and format all my sd card, cache wipe etc hoping that it will return to normal like when i was in 2.1 elcair but to no avail. I don't know if some bad code was left behind when i did the official upgrade through kies. All i can say is it was working fine when i was at 2.1 then suddenly went bad after 2.2.
By the way, my problem is my GPS lock kept of disconnecting every now and then thus rendering my GPS useless as it kept on displaying my location as "off road" even though i'm on a clear highway with clear and bright skies!

ahh, if I root the phone I can get to
/dbdata/databases/com.google.android.gsf/gservices.db
unfortunately, this phone doesn't have sqlite3 installed!! I need to try and find that
EDIT: Found a copy of sqlite3 and was able to push it to the phone. edited the db as people suggested! I'll have to test it on Monday

Based on what I have found so far, and assuming your aGPS or any other wireless based assistance features are not functioning properly, doing a reset and cache clear will not help with your GPS at all. I have read that the phone will try to download the satellite schedules directly from GPS satellites if you're using purely satellite based GPS option. It'll be slow so it will take longer to get a lock and that's why phone will use other means to shorten the lock time. Once the schedule is downloaded, they said there shouldn't be any problem until the schedule expires, at which point you will have to download the schedule again.
I think the reason you're losing lock frequently might be because your phone doesn't have a clear view of the sky..? I used my phone GPS to drive around Toronto, Vaughan and Mississauga last night for at least 4+ hours, and I did not have any problem.

So, I tested today after updating the db.... no agps still..
Anyone else still.having issues with agps?
GPS works, just no agps since 2.2

This is why I unfortunately have to use an old Tom Tom GPS!

i'm having this problem too. i finally got it picking up quickly on 2.1 but once i updated i haven't been able to ever get a solid lock. has anyone found a solution yet??

Now that my wireless location service is kind of working I thought aGPS should also naturally work but I guess not... My GPS takes a pretty long time to start up and I haven't found any fix for this..
It's funny because I didn't really have any problem with my GPS with 2.1 but now I do with 2.2...

Pandora issues with Paragon RC5

Phone is my gf's so it might take me a few days to get you a logcat.
Pandora will play a few songs and then skip or just stop for no reason. Stock ROM and Cog2.3 had no issues. Everything else seems cool.
We restored the app from Titanium, so I cleared data in apps settings, uninstalled it, wiped cache and dalvik in recovery, then rebooted and reinstalled Pandora from the market. No change.
Any thoughts?

Ive had this same prob on several diff roms. I dont think its a rom problem.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

The issue of songs stopping at random is a known problem and Pandora has been trying to fix it. They released an update a few weeks ago that seems to have fixed it for some and made it worse for others. Its not a problem with Paragon as I had the same problem running Phoenix.
That being said, I think the problem is made worse depending on the modem thats used, which is why some people have the problem and others dont - but this is just my guess based on observation. I've been listening to Pandora for a number of hours on the official froyo release from AT&T and it has yet to skip or stop. Maybe coincidence that I haven't had the problem yet but it's looking good so far.

Interesting ... I suspected it was modem related. What's weird is no issues on Cog or stock. Maybe a timing coincidence?
Maybe we'll try out the official froyo next. When did that drop? Ota or kies?
I've been running cm7 for two months already so neener neener.

I am running Paragon RC6 and it on rare occasion does the same thing to me. BUT when I was running stock 2.1 it also did the same thing. As said, Pandora is trying to fix the issue....

If you are still having this issue, update Pandora. They released version 1.5.5 which addresses these problems. I've been running it for a few days with no issues.

Thanks, we updated to RC6 and the Pandora problem went away but was replaced by "refreshing sim data" constantly. Very obnoxious.
Yesterday I picked her up an Inspire 4G so the Cappy is currently running oem 2.2 and on CL waiting patiently for a new home.

Gingerbread GPS slow fixing??

Since I received the Gingerbread OTA I have seen that when run gMaps it takes long time (minutes) to fix GPS. I think that is only for cold start, coz after fix if I close an restart the GPS it fixes in few seconds as normal.
I have tried with GPS Status but it seems everything OK.
Before Gingerbread it was really fast fixing both in cold and warm start.
Thx

I've also noticed the same problem. GPS seems to be much slower getting a fix on my position - even with a clear sky and at places it worked well before. Don't know if there's much I can do about it but hope for a patch from Google.

Seems that it's a very common issue, try to google " gingerbread slow gps fix"

Stock 2.3.3 ROM after OTA update, GPS only locked 1 out of 10 tries, and took a long time to do so. It is not even stable, and lost signal after a few minutes. I had looked everywhere including google forum, and there is no joy.
Finally read it somewhere to try GpsFix in the market and now GPS fixes in <10 seconds!

GPS-Fix Problem with Gingerbread
Hello,
i have the same problem after upgrading to Gingerbread 2.3.3. I have found this thread in the Google support forum (Search after this with Google):
GPS Navigation problems after Gingerbread update
and the issue is known aswell at Google issue tracking list (Search after this with Google):
NMEA Listener no longer working after upgrade to Gingerbread Issue ID 15500
The issue has been assigned medium priority over there. Maybe if more people can go there and star the issue, it will get up voted.
Sorry that i doesn't post the links directly, but its not permitted for me (not enough post so far)

The issue hasn't been assigned anything yet, the priority is 'medium' by default, once someone takes ownership of it, it should get a proper priority.

In the meantime you might like to try this:-

It works for me.
Hope it helps.

Yes, the GpsFix only worked for a few days, then the same problem surfaced again. So I followed the link and voila! now fast GPS fix again! Thanks!

Seems that 2.3.4 update fixed it...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

I had the same problem on 2.3.4 and I fixed with the GPS Status, there is an option to clear all gps data. That worked for me, now the gps fix my position in a few seconds.

i used this
i have been using this [APP][ROOT] FasterFix [V1.5] - xda-developers. It needs root and also needs to be run once everytime i flash a nightly.
I get a fix in "seconds" rather than instantly. But i'm going to try that link posted above. You guys should check it out since nobody has mentioned it.
edit: on a second thought, i'd rather not try anything else because of the golden saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it" : )

That app will do nothing for the O2X, as it doesn't use the gps.conf file.
Anything it does is a placebo. CM7 now comes with a couple of GPS fixes, and that is probably the difference you're seeing.

CM7 GPS not working

Hi,
I found so much different informations about GPS in CM7 but nothing really worked, and I don't know what is correct!
In Modaco FR19 it worked like charm!
I have the latest CM7 (from 07.04.2011), so I have the lto.dat that came with the rom, and my gps.conf looks like:
NTP_SERVER=de.pool.ntp.org
the three XTRA_SERVER...
SUPL_HOST=supl.nokia.com
SUPL_PORT=7275
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks

Ignore your gps.conf, it isn't used by the O2X. Make sure you're running at least #65, as there is a GPS fix included.
Edit: I see you do have a build new enough for that, so good stuff. How many locations have you tried it in? Use GPS status too see how many sats are picked up and what signal strength they're at.

This won't contribute much...but..
I have the 07.03 CM7 (#66)and;
-in maps, the time it takes to get the signal varies from instantly to a few mins or so.
- in navigation it does not appear to work.

Hi,
So far I only tested it in one location (will test it now in different)
I don't get gps location neither in maps nor navigation!
GPS Status says 0 in view and 0 in use...
So there is nothing I can do, but wait for a fix from CM7?

There isn't likely to be a fix for your individual phone, considering it works for everyone else.
Have you tried re-flashing it? Tried wiping it?

Ok it's fixed, I cleared AGPS data and changed location from inside to outside and got a gps fix in 2 seconds...
Thanks guys

I am on the nightly #73. Google navigation works ok, Sygic (latest trial from the market) also gets a solid fix most of the time.
Copilot 9 premium jumps to a location then sits there for some time and does not track the movement, then jumps again and does the same. I had it working ok on stock. My O2X is originally V10d UK version. Copilot 9 UK and Ireland.

Tried to use the tricks from other threads: running GPSTest with a GPS fix in the background and then switching to Copilot. Does not work. BTW a colleague with an SGS on stock also has exactly the same problem.

Hmmm I don't have any reboots with the current CM7 nightly, but I had a few of them on stock. I hated stock and I like CM7 a lot. Would be a pity to go back.

Regarding the GPS lock times.
Be PATIENT the first time you try to get the lock.
For me it took about 5 minutes to get the lock for the first time. After that initial lock it now takes under 10 seconds.
Try using GPS status from market to see the satellites.
Needless to say, do this outside for best signal
