hi all,
I have had my hero since Dec 09. been on many custom ROMs by DC. I am on his last release of 2.1.
I rooted and used custom ROMs since the first week.
it seams like my GPS signal is not that stable. It works for a few days... after I reboot. Then for no reason that I can tell, it can not lock on. I have to reboot the phone... and it will work again.
When it fails.. I try everything thing that I can think of to get it to work before I give up.. and reboot.
Has anyone seen this.. and found the cure?
thanks
anything?
You should be rebooting almost daily anyways.

love my phone.
hate that answer... you know what I mean?
Hey I've experienced the same thing with 2.1 . When I'm using a 2.2 rom I have like the worlds most exact gps. With 2.1 I'm lucky if it is within a few miles for get trying to use any navigation program. It is really frustrating. Because I still feel that froyo has a bit to go before i can use it for my day to day rom. hope some one has a better solution than rebooting, eventually.

I have not tried froyo on my hero yet. I am waiting for a stable 2.2 ROM... to bad DC is on the EVO now
this is weird, when i was on a 2.1 rom my GPS would lock on within seconds to even the exact room i was in, in my house.
now on 2.2 its not working
still no advice from anyone?
i have never had issues flashing roms....
tried all yesterday... in every way that i could...
but no luck... Froyo would not work for me.. stuck on the first black screen with "htc" on it. let it sit there for 15 mins but never move more. tried many ways, but still no luck.
Had to switch back to 2.1 now I get a gps lock in like ten seconds

So i'll keep this simple. My captivate is less than two months old and it's become VERY slow. I get lag of at least five seconds every few minutes. Frankly it's starting to piss me off; I know this is a fast phone. I have the J16 froyo ROM. Could it be my ROM? What do you guys recommend as a rom? My iphone 3GS was MUCH faster. (the lag on my captivate ia usually from typing or pressing the touch sensitive buttons at the bottom. Tabs in apps sometimes as well.)
Please help!

It could be a few different things. Easiest would probably be to just flash a rom like Phoenix 3.0 or Perception 10.1
I don't think its a rom issue. Just try to get rid of Widgets, live wallpaper(if u have one), and non-needed apps and see what happens.

If he is using just a leaked froyo rom. it probably has no lag fix. So installing a rom like i mentioned will give him the lagfix.
only widgets I have seen that make a lot of lag are ones that constantly use sensors, like compass widgets, etc.

I've used them all, and these really stand out!!
You can use the kernels that come with them or flash your own kernel and modem.
Thanks all for the replies. The only Widgets I run are the Task killer, and the power saver one to quickly enable wifi when in range, etc. No live wallpaper.
I don't have any hard evidence, but my experience is that having alot of apps slows down the phone. For me, when i have more than 10 or so apps, the phone begins to get bogged down. 15+ it becomes very noticable. 20+ i flash a new rom haha.
It was the rom. Im now running phoenix 3.0 and I now get H! Thanks man!

I tend to disagree on this.
I have like 45+ user apps on my phone. And its still pretty snappy. I am attaching a screen shot taken from "Smartbench 2010".
My phone is stuck in safe mode and I tried reflashing, battery pull etc && I cant get it out of safe mode, Really annoying,
Someone HELP ! Please
When you say safe mode what do you mean???? You will get a lot of help from here if you give a little more detail. As in what were you trying to do?? What rom were you trying to flash or kernel?? Are your rooted or were you trying to root??? What recovery were you using or trying to use etc.
Something.About.Me.You.Dont
Like.Its.Cool.I.Understand.AWAH
^^ Safe mode is accessed by holding the MENU button while booting up. I've used it once when I modified the mms.apk, keyboard and a couple other things and was getting a ton of FC's - I needed to pull some info off of a couple texts phone before I wiped (since I never do nandroids )
A reboot is all that was needed to get out of it for me though...
[assuming you're rooted]
If you have any recent nandroids OP, wipe and then restore them. If you don't have any nands, flash a completely different rom.
EX) if running AOSP -> flash NFX sense.
If neither of those work run the RUU and re-root

You may actually have a hardware issue then. I would try pulling the battery and battery cover and letting the whole thing air out a bit, it may be something as simple as your menu button sticking. Once that's done, put the battery back in and try to boot up, if it boots, great, if not, perhaps run the sprint ruu and start over.

Hi All. Long time follower on XDA for the G1 (9 months after the G1 debut) but first time posting. I just recently did the 2708+hboot hack for the 14mb to flash and test the lastest ROMs. I've tried everything that is currently available for download on XDA development and found that Laszlo 5.2 to be the smoothest and fastest (just as fast as Super CSDI).
I read through the entire post to see if anyone has experienced the same thing as I did, but no one really did. This ROM is amazing and everything is working great, but one thing. My question is--The Audible selection and screen lock sound do not work. One person ask about the screen lock sound not working, but no one answered. Is anyone else getting this problem besides me and is there a fix. I flash it several times and on 3 different G1s and get the same results. Maybe the download of the ROM I'm flashing is slightly corrupt. Any thoughts??? Thanks everyone for all your help through these years keeping the G1 alive and still amazing.

im not using that rom at the moment but as far as i know the sounds were working.. is he using a kernel with it? maybe its messing with it..
Don't know what you mean by "Audible selection", but I would guess for the lock/unlock sound you need to install the audio from addons (since it contains the file). Type "addons" in terminal and follow the on-screen prompts.

Hi Adam, your the Man!
Thank you so much. Your suggestion fixed it. I was playing with Super Aosp 6.0 when you made the suggestion and I was very hesitant to flash again to find out that it might do nothing. But the speed of Laszlo was just to good to not find out, so I did and I'm glad I did.
I'm surprised that hardly anyone knew what I was talking about. So to clarify, if you go into Setting>Sound and then scoll down a bit you will see Audible selection and Screen lock sound options. The Audible selection is when it makes a 'Click' type sound when you select something. That extra audible feedback is very helpful.
I was going to just put up with Laszlo 5.2 even without sound if I had too, but I'm glad I don't.
Now I can finally stay with this for awhile to see if it is stable as well as fast.
Thanks again.
Rick

Overcome 2.01 crashes after upgrade from Overcome 1.6
Hi, I am new to the forum so please bear with me.
I had previously installed Overcome 1.6 on a Telstra Galaxy tab; I ran it for around 2 month with no hiccups. I recently updated to Overcome 2.01 to have video on skype; however ever since the upgrade the Tab is really unstable. It crashes every time I try to look for directions from google maps while on the road.
The crash is so severe that it won’t go past the overcome boot logo after restart. I reinstalled a couple of times with the same result. I also tried following the guide to step 6 and see if it also happened on the “factory fresh gingerbread” form; and this time it crashed as soon as I used the browser over wi-fi. The crash is as severe, the tablet shows a lot of pop up errors after boot and then it boots itself again.
Can I revert back to Overcome 1.6 while the new version (Android 2.3.4) is released; or I can’t go back from gingerbread to froyo?
Thank you for advising.
Cheers,

Hi There,
I indeed followed the instructions to the line the 3 times and the result is always the same.
I did notice that on the last step when loading the rom itself, the screen flickers a few times and during the "loading kernel" line a few blue lines appear; the process still finishes normally.
Should I use the Telstra modem file instead of the one on the JK3 folder?
Cheers,
hi carludo
crash while jusing wifi maybe the wrong modem. you are from australia?
is it a euro or asian tab? so look for the right modem. many times flash
the same maybe wrong.
best wishes to downunder.
Hi There,
Correct, it is a Telstra Galaxy tab, I used the modem file in the JK3 folder as per the instructions; I will give it another try and use hte modem file from that Testra restock thread and see if it makes a difference.
I will let you know later tonight how it goes.

This morning when I woke up I checked the calendar on my Captivate and everything looked fine. I had an IM app (Go) running but stopped it. I went back about 15 minutes later to look at something else on my phone and it would not wake up. Nothing I did would make the screen come on. I eventually just pulled the battery and it started working fine. This is the 3rd or 4th time that's happened and usually at night while charging.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help
Its called sleep death. What ROM, kernel,oc/UV values are you using?
I've never heard of that, but I would definitely say that describes it perfectly.
I'm actually running stock Froyo. All of this pain lately makes me want to load up a custom ROM this weekend (assuming it would help). I just don't want to end up bricked.
Thanks
That's not sleep death, at least what I experienced, I have seen that on my own captivate. Usually mine will lock up and become non-responsive, eventually the phone will restart. I don't know if it is a common issue but one I have had often.
Ya I've had that happen. Either I gotta pull the battery or my phone poops on itself and reboots. Oh well

I've given custom ROMs much thought. Not sure which one I'd choose, etc. Seems like there is so much to read and a lot of the information builds on itself. My luck I'd try AIO or something and get down to page 80 of all the postings and realize it doesn't work for me after I already flash it.

I started having the same problem a couple days ago. I've my captivate for almost one year already. I had stock eclair, froyo, several roms. Now I'm using stock GB 2.3.5 KI2. The only thing that I can think it changed is the fact that I added an external 16gb sd. I'll do a factory reset and remove sd to see if it happens again.
