location problem at Froyo, please help

i cant use wireless network for location any more when i updated to froyo.
for example, i get "waiting for location" "your current location is temporarily unavailable" .
any ideas?

Did you update the radio when you flashed froyo?
I've had this issue on previous roms but not yet on froyo.
When this happens to me and a gps on/off doesnt fix it; I reboot the phone.

I've had that issue, but a wipe fixed it. It was about time for a wipe anyway...

i wiped cache/ dalvik cache, no luck.
wipe data? means i have to reinstall all the apps reset all the setup?

i tried something.
wipe data, no luck
reflash the froyo, no luck
wipe data and reflash Froyo, it works!
restore to previous CM505, it works!
restore to CM505, and flash Froyo, no luck........
what should i do if i want to keep my data and Froyo ?

I'm having the same problem. Came from CM5.0.6, no wipe, just flashed froyo and pretty much everything works (sweet!) except network location provider. GPS is fine. Network location just always times out.
Just like dirwdirw I'd like to keep my app data and settings; anyone figured out anything we can reset to make this work w/o wiping?

Use Titanium Backup. I made a thread in the apps forum asking for what could be moved and not have those issues. I didn't get answers but I did find it for myself and posted there.

My location doesn't work with launcher pro, only with the stock launcher.

Same here... Froyo on N1, and havent found any clue yet.
If someone has it, please share!

same here!
im starting to get really worried, i just read that FRF50's radio its official, and my cel sucks with it...

Just updated to FRF83 using Modaco's <android.modaco.com/content/google-nexus-one-nexusone-modaco-com/311896/24-jun-frf83-stock-rooted-deodex-superboot-repacks> update+root+insecure, still the same!
I really don't get why it's not working!

Yep, same problem here with Froyo. Had it with FRF50 and now with FRF83. I'm unable to have a location without GPS.
I did a complete wipe then flash, but nothing changed.

That solved it for me though. You're talking about a full wipe right? Cause indeed, dalvik wipe doesn't solve this issue.

Yes, a full wipe, a factory reset.
Will do it again... I may be lucky this time.

From the settings menu, or from recovery? From the menu it never worked for me.
I think I'll wait for CM6, wipe, and install it. It's too annoying to manually set the position of the weather widget.

From Recovery.
But I've just finished wiping and flashing again... and it works !
It didn't work when flashing FRF50. But when flashing FRF83 after a wipe, it's ok.
Thank's !

[Q] Can't receive calls?

Hi, I just installed the Andromeda ROM on my Captivate, and quickly realized that i can't receive any calls. I can, however, make calls. If there's a quick fix for this, that would be great, if not, I guess I'll have to flash back to another ROM... Thanks.

Not a rom issue cause I have been running andromeda for three dates with no such issue.
first have you asked this on the rom thread?
Have you tried going into airplane mode then back?
Reboot?
Different modern?

I just tried going into airplane mode and back, and I'll test it in a minute...

I keep getting the force close vibration pattern, and it says phone keeps getting force closed. What can I do?

Go into recovery, clear davlik cache under advanced options, reflash rom.
Did you restore things with titanium backup, and if so did you restore any system data

Just curious why you would suggest clearing cache then reflash rom when the script is going to wipe it anyway?

I am experiencing the same issue, and I didn't quite understand this last post. Did you just reflash and not recover your system data as others recommended? Or is there something else you did to correct the problem?
Thanks for the help.

You're going to have to reflash, like they said. I did this the first time I flashed a ROM and though "Oh great.. I knew I shouldn't have flashed from stock...", but I just reflashed and didn't restore system data, and all has been working great since then.

Fixed
That fixed it. Reflashed Andromeda and restored only apps with Titanium Backup, not system data. Everything seems to be working great now.
Thanks.

[Q] Why are old apps already installed after fresh wipe and ROM install?

Hey guys,
I'm new at posting in the forums, so I apologize if I have put this in the wrong section. I read a lot of posts, but this is the first time i have posted a thread, ever. =P
Anyway, I have a Rooted White T-Mobile G1, I was running the somewhat recent build of Roalex's COS-DS ROM, and it started to get really sluggish and I was having a few other problems. (I love that ROM, and he has done a great job, I just felt like a change.) So I went to install Ginger Yoshi 1.4 after doing a nand backup, SD Wipe, and SuperWipe. Once i finished installing the ROM, I rebooted my phone and it started fine and everything. Then it asked me to choose which home I wanted... Which was confusing, considering it was a fresh wipe. I should only have 1 Home launcher on there. I realized that I have several apps from past times. (as in, a WHILE ago. I haven't had these apps for over a month easily...) I tried another wipe and install. Still to no avail... I did some searching and I couldn't find anything that could help me. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to explain in some detail. Anyone have any Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I don't know this rom, but nowadays many roms have a backup functionality included and they are backing up the old (g)apps, flash the rom and re-install (some of) the old apps again.
"Some" because normally there is a list of apps to be backed up and re-installed. If your launcher is on that list and the rom has a different one pe-installed you then have two.
If you want to be sure to get a "clean" installation, use
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
Or flash ohsaka super wipe before flashing the rom.

Sorry, I should have specified, the "SuperWipe" that I mentioned above, is Ohsaka Super Wipe... I have flashed it many times, and reflashed the ROM many times as well... Still having the apps installed. The wierdest part of it all, is that they don't seem to be using my sd card space OR internal space, almost as if they are somehow from the EXT4 partition I have, and they never got erased... The odd thing is, is that I never figured out how to move stuff to EXT, so there shouldn't be anything on there...

My guess would be that these "old" apps were downloaded originally from the market. If you are registering the phone with the same account you were using before, the market will download and install all the apps again from the market.

Well the reason it couldn't be that, is that I actually don't have a data plan. I always skip sign in, and then enable WiFi. So the apps wouldn't be able to download until after I was signed in to my account. Yet, they are there right when I start :/
This is a very odd, occurance. Haha. Thanks you two for your responses though.

Flashing cm9 nightlies

I am running cm9 a2 on my touch pad and would like to know how I would go about flashing the latest nightly which now include everything in alpha 2. I gather you can't flash from from rom manager. Also where do I get the latest nightlies? Any help would be appreciated.

Do a search in the dev forum for 'nightlies'. In the thread you'll find the download link, I think it's 'terrachata'. Install the file with cwm. (install zip > choose zip from sdcard). Do a wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache beforehand . If coming from cm9 alpha 2, no need to wipe/delete data, factory reset.

Absolutely no need to wipe anything.
I've flashed each nightly "over the top" of the previous version without any problem.
You can use Rom Manager to flash. Just tell it to use the existing version of CWM when it asks and check the version you have manually installed either 2 or 3 and away you go.
Then you can install all zip updates and mods the same way.
Check out buildprop-supreme-rohan-v1.1 for some cool tweaks including 120dpi screen settings.

With any android system, you should ALWAYS wipe at least cache and dalvik after flashing a rom update. It only takes 5 seconds, and can help you avoid big issues.

DON'T use Rom Manager to flash roms, it's just a bad idea. Many devices have been bricked because of that app. Just boot into recovery, install the zip, and wipe cache and dalvik. It only takes an extra 30 seconds to do it through recovery, and will make it so you don't have any issues.

Thanks for all the great advice! It would be nice to have a thread about the stability of the latest nightlies before you do a flash. How do you do a nandroid backup before an update? Does it take a lot of space? How do you do a restore if all doesn't go well?

Boot into recovery, and before doing anything else, go to Backup and Restore, then hit Backup. Backups will probably take about 600mb or so, more if you have a lot of apps on there. You only need to keep one backup on the device, and you can copy the backup off the memory onto a computer if you want to save space.

The same way you would flash a rom. Boot into recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik, then go to backup and restore, and hit restore.

I hate being a NOOB about this...I know there is a changelog that you can find here: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged+branch:ics,n,z
My question is does anyone know where I can find a less complex or more simple explanation (for us noobs that doesn't understand computerish sometimes! ) of what changes they have made to the nightlies?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Sorry again for the very noob question!

The nightlies are basically compiled each night from the cm9 source. Its an automated process so the changes are what was changed in the cm source in the last 24 hours. Usually its nothing major, if its something big you'll probably see an alpha posted on rootzwiki.

I'm interested in moving my backup from my touchpad to my computer to save space, however, my "backups" folder is empty...
As I'm writing this I'm realizing that I may have preformed a backup before doing a factory settings/data reset/wipe so would that be erased when I did the wipe/reset?
I know now that if coming from another version of CM9 their is no need to wipe the factory data/settings, instead just wipe the other two (forget what their called)

Should be in a folder called ClockworkMod

After updating nightlies
What should I expect to have to re install?
gapps?
dpi fix?
any launcher settings?
what typically breaks/resets and has to be re-configured?

DPI fix is all.

Any changes you make to your build.prop file will be erased on an update from one nightly to the next (or CM9 to another nightly). Anything else - apps, gapps, settings, etc), should not change.
Personally, I've become used to the 160DPI default, which works quite nicely on the latest nightly. Yes, there isn't as much screen space, but I don't mind. I don't have THAT many things I need on the screen at once - one widget, half a dozen or so app shortcuts, that's about it for my main home screen. So 160 works pretty well, especially for office docs and kindle reading.

160 v 120, what do they actually look like when compared? I know that running 160 has the portrait app grid view off kilter (landscape looks fine)

120 I find ends up with a row and at least one column off of the screen, so you can't use them. 160 doesn't have that issue unless you go portrait.

Need help on recent rooted+CM9 rom

Hi. I'm having a really big problem and a hard time trying to get my phone back to how it was. I was able to do a backup with CWM rom manager before i flashed to CM9. The reason why i want to go back to the ROM that came with my phone is because i'm not able to mount my SD card. I tried it in the recovery reboot menu. I mounted everything, then when it reboots, i go into settings and try to mount both the external SD and the internal SD card, The external one mounts, but i still can't see anything from it. And the internal never mounts.
So i did use the back up utility, and now when i go to restore, It says that the MD5 checksum aren't matching up or something. I'm also scared because it says that the battery is not charging. I've turned the phone off and am letting it charge now to see if it'll charge. But it was down to 11%, And i'm starting to get scared cause i might be without a phone. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
How can i wipe CM9 and go back to the ROM that came with my samsung 4g exhibit II when i got it? this is what it was before;
exhibit ii 4g
sgh-t679
android 2.3.6
kernel 2.6.35.7-perf (I didn't upgrade this)
build #: gingerbread uvle1
P.S. After i rooted it and flashed it into the root_kit. I then flashed it into "cm-9-20121125-UNOFFICIAL-ancora_tmo". So this is the rom that's giving me the problem. I really hope someone understands what's going on and can help me. I just want to go back to how it was before. And 1 more thing. I can only browse the sd card through wondershare mobilego for android. All my files are still there, But i can't see them on the phone, Just through USB connection.
Thank you so much
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Go into cwm wipe system 3 times dalvic cache and so on, then restore, or you can just do a clean install of the ROM you wish.

Oh wait, Something good happened. I read somewhere else that i might have to format the internal sd card. I just did that and now i'm able to see my external sd card. all my music and pics are here. Hmmm, weird... now i'm going to try and backup the texts and logs that i saved from mobilego. but i still might want to go back to the factory rom because the screen was bigger.

I just can't flash the gapps .zip file. It says that it can't open and then it just says (bad). So i can't connect my google account to my droid as it stands.

Download gapps again. And flash, Do not restore system apps, only do user apps

I upgraded to CM10. Now the gps doesn't work. also the usb connection doesn't work so i can't load the cm9 i don't think. If i wipe the ROM, will that load it back to the factory one? or will it make my phone useless?
Update: Ok, I'm able to connect via wifi with Mobilego. Should i upload root-stock.zip and flash that so it can go back to gingerbread (or whatever the ROM is called that is the basic one that was on before i changed?)
Update 2: I'm just having a problem with GPS. in google maps (a program i do use a lot), Is not able to get my current location. I wonder if anyone else is having this problem from CM10

Root-stock.zip will not get you back to gingerbread. You should read the t679 XDA wiki. Five or six times even.

maybe i should try doing this when i'm sober...

Ok look, a general rule of thumb whenever you are installing a new rom, do a full Rom wipe = Factory Reset. Then flash your new rom. Then proceed to install the necessary Gapps. Then clear cache and dalvik cache. Then fix permissions. Then your set. The only time you can install a rom over another rom is if its an update, from the exact same rom and same os.

Soooo happy with CM10

I This I clear the cache, dalvik cache (and maybe even data). I wiped everything in that menu except ROM and system. It was my first time working with this. I did it in less then a week of lightly reading about it. I'll make sure to remember that man.
Thanks
:good:
P.S. I LOVE CM10. This ROM is just phenomenal. I couldn't believe my eyes when i went from Android 2.3.6 to Android 4.1.2. This site has helped me a lot. Please are very friendly and i appreciate that a lot.
Thanks once again, this site is very helpful.
