[Q] Bluetooth Problems on CM7

I can't seem to get bluetooth to enable on my Nook. I've tried using CyanogenMod 7 nightly and the CynogenMod-7.0.0-encore as well. No luck. I've tried turning off wireless hard rebooting, fixed permissions ect... When I click the bluetooth icon it blinks and within a quarter of a second it turns off. It doesn't even have an icon that says it's trying to turn it on. Anybody have any ideas on what I can do to fix it?

tons of threads about that - just go to ROM Manager, click Fix Permissions then after that is done and you see a popup asking you to reboot, don't select this, rather press the power switch down until the nook powers off, then turn it back on again

If you would of read, I have already tried it. It didn't work.

I have the same exact issue as the OP.
Tried all the recommended fixes including fixing permissions.
Tried one additional step I found mentioned somewhere.
Go into spare parts uncheck compatibility mode and reboot.
Apparently this worked for some but not me.
Hoping someone with same problem can ping in with what might have worked for them.

Please guys try this.
Firstly, you switch off you wifi.
Secondly, you reboot.
Thirdly, you switch on your bluetooth and get it running. (it seems the bluetooth would not start after Wifi)

Sadly It still isn't working. I've already tried the hard boot with wireless off and quickly starting up the bluetooth as soon as my nook is started. Any other suggestions?
Edit: Do you guys think it just might not work/ dead?

This. Always works for me. As he said, turn off wifi entirely, POWER DOWN. Boot back up, turn on Bluetooth. Once it's up, turn on Wifi.

Nope didn't work if you read my posts... When I find my camera I'll try to post a video of what it does to "try" to enable bluetooth.

Thanks got it working. I was wondering why it would shut down after clicking turn on. But now if it says paired but not connected does that mean my holux GPS isn't going to work with the nook?

had the same behaviour until tried this:
1 turn off wireless
2 fixed permisions with rom manager
3 turned off nook, by pressing power button
4 restarted nook
5 turned on bluetooth
after this, i could freely turn on/off wifi and bluetooth without complaining
btw, i'm on CM7 stable running on verygreen SD card with 04/04 dal's kernel

@brento1
You have to use an app such as GPS Provider to connect your GPS to android. Otherwise you will get that error.

That didn't work... But I figured it out! I was running on Dal's OC kernel and for some reason it was clashing BT! Thanks everyone for trying!

So I've tried everything suggested multiple time with and does not work.
Thanks for discoverying the OC kernel connection. I am also running it. I will try to install a fresh nightly without OC tonight.
Are any of you with working BT also using the OC kernel?

As of this moment, I'm not going to install an OC kernel because I'm afraid I won't be able to get BT to work. Can anyone recommend one?

I have phiremod 6, with the OC kernal and it works, but initially, I had the problem.
Shut down the nook and start it up again. NOTE, Do not do a reboot, do a shut down!
Hope it works for you.

i think i have the same problem that I'm using the OC kernel, do anyone have a suggested kernel to intro?
thanks in advance..

[Q] GPS problem: fix -> lose fix -> fix -> lose fix

I'm using CM7 on my Nexus One. The issue happened twice; right now the GPS is working fine but I'd like to find what can be done to diagnose this, or if there's anyone out there who already knows a fix...
Here's what it looks like:
I turn on the GPS, open GNavigation (or Waze, or Maps). GPS gets a fix but when I start driving, it doesn't update my location. After a while, it loses the fix, the reacquires it, still doesn't update it, loses fix again, and this keeps happening as 5-minute long loops.
Here's how it looks like in the GPS Status app:
It's as if GPS gets a fix, then hangs (my coordinate are not updated in GPS Status app) without giving any errors, then turns itself off and on, gets a fix again, rinse and repeat.
What I tried:
Reset and download A-GPS state. Reset dalvik cache using recovery. Reset A-GPS state, turn off GPS, turn off phone, turn on phone (and variations of this). Didn't work...
What worked:
Finally I got sick of it and took out my real GPS device. I didn't turn off nexus' navigation (wanted to torture it a bit out of spite and frustration).
After driving for 40 minutes (and nexus finding, losing, finding ... GPS fixes as I was driving), suddenly it got a fix, and it just started working again without problems.
Anyone know what's happening here and how to fix it? Thanks so much in advance

You are not alone
Rebooting almost always fixes it for me. Unfortunately it takes several minutes.
Airplane mode also instantly fixes it, but then you lose A-GPS and all communications.

Radio updating may fix the problem.
Try flashing a latest radio image.

Latest radio
Thanks. I guess a new, functioning radio would indeed solve the problem.
However, I already have the latest radio flashed: 32.50.0032U_5.12.00.08 for the Nexus One. Earlier radios have other heavy shortcomings, so they are not a good option.

i wold know if it was good be4
cuz it was worked fine but now ive same problem
i thought this problem form rom
but now i dont know the reson
sorry 4 broken eng
thx

I am waiting for ICS and hope that will fix it.

[Q]Update to 2.3.4 offcial version - wifi, gps, signal problems

Hello everyone,
So i upgraded my O2X like a month ago... and since then i have had issues with it...
I've upgraded to 2.3.4 from LG official updates... and since my upgrade i've got some serious issue's with my phone..
1. Alot of times i can't send any messages, and i have to retry like 2-4 times before it's working...
2. people can't call me from time to time.... it just hang's up from the person trying to call me...
3. sometimes when talking to somebody, the sound get's all wierd like a scrathing sound with other mixed wierd other sounds... it goes like that for about 5-15 seconds.. Then it stops and and often then i can't her the other person anymore... but sometimes it also goes back to normal..
4. Signal is lost sometimes... the signal bar indicates that their's no phone service.... and then comes back after like 5-15 seconds...
5. wifi aint working anymore... can't use the internet..
6. today i needed to use the gps... but when it finally has found the route i need.. it aint "updating" where im driving..... so i have to close the gps, and then start it again so i can get a update of where the car is located.. its like a "still picture" if you get me...
Please note that i have NOT done any factory reset of the phone after 2.3.4 upgrade... as it cant be true that i need to do such thing everytime an update is launched from LG just to get the phone working....
i dont have anything else installed, like CM or even rooted or anything.. its all stock rom from LG...
Anyone has some ideas or clues of how i can fix these issues?

i have met all of these issues as well. i have to add another issue,"wifi turn off automatically".

Maybe a stupid comment of me , but have you already looked at the wifi-advanced settings? because there you can switch off the "wifi power saving or sleepmode".
You should also check all settings because everything is put back to factory settings..

same freaking issues
What a fail from LG. I bought this phone recently for my wife and I was accusing her being crazy!
I changed all the settigns in wifi for battery effeciency to keept it always on no matter what! wifi keeps disconnecting at times. Even during skype calls and needs to restart wifi(deactivate->activate).
Anyone having a solution for that issues? Otherwise a custom ROM is going to solve this? And if so please propose one for simple use.
It is so FAIL from LG releasing a ROM hat does not work as it should with default values. Android is for users also, not just geeks.

Have you done a 'factory reset' since you updated the device?
You shouldn't lose any stuff on the card, only the applications that were on the phone as such. (But better than sorry to make a backup just in case). Oh of course you will lose contacts unless they are synced with another source as well).
GPS> Make sure you leave the GPS turned on ALL the time. It won't use it unless it has too, and if you start the phone with gps turned off, it won't connect to gps properly. Wifi ? er.. perhaps you need to go into the wifi settings and have a fiddle around with the sleep mode? Or perhaps increase the screen timeout so it doesn't keep disconnecting the wifi so often?

Get a Samsung for sure!!

GPS behavior - normal after reboot or from cold?

Can someone help me confirm if this is normal GPS behavior? I'm rooted on ANG3 with the latest maps 9.2.0.
If I start maps after a reboot, or when GPS is "cold" like using for the first time in the morning, the GPS indicator in the status bar will come on for a second or two, then just turn off - at which time maps stops updating my location. It does this same behavior with other GPS apps, including navigation. I found out if I wait like 10 seconds, the GPS status bar indicator comes back on and remains on - from then on behaving normally. After that, I can close maps, reopen, use navigation, use GPS status or GPS test apps, etc., all normally.
I had initially been closing whatever GPS app I was using and reopening when this happened, and the problems kept repeating...but if I found out if I just wait for those 10 seconds or so, then the problem is completely resolved until the next reboot or cold start (like if I wait 10 hours to use a GPS app again).
So do other people have that same GPS behavior immediately after a reboot or from a cold GPS start - where GPS only comes on for a second or two, then turns off for 10 seconds or so, then comes back on and will remain on and work normally?
If not, any idea what the problem might be? I've tried clearing cache of gps apps and clearing dalvik cache...but maybe this is normal behavior?

No problems with my gps here, i personally keep it turned off until i need to though so not sure if that factors in to it, you may need to take it in because that sounds like a possible hardware issue. Have you tried a factory reset/reflashing?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I wonder if leaving your gps off mostly, and only turning it on when needed might affect the behavior I'm talking about. I haven't tried a factory reset yet...was hoping to avoid that, and especially didn't want to do it if others have the same gps behavior. Maybe someone else who leaves gps enabled can test this out by rebooting and opening maps?

Hate to be the bearer of bad news and all that, but i feel like if it was that big of an issue there would be more people posting about it. I know you don't want to but a factory reset fixes most issues, i may be wrong though so feel free to wait it out and see if someone has a solution :/

I had a chance to check the behavior of my wife's Galaxy Alpha (uprooted). Actually, her gps seems to act similarly except that the period of time it spontaneously turns off is more like 5 seconds instead of 10. But that leading me to think what I'm seeing is normal. I'd still appreciate some confirmation though, so if someone could:
1. Turn on gps
2. Reboot
3. Open maps and observe the gps indicator in the status bar for about 30 seconds
4. Report if the indicator disappears during that time and for how long

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not sure what's going on, because I haven't really tweaked anything but it's now acting normal most of the time even after fresh reboots. But I did still replicate the behavior several times on my wife's stock Galaxy Alpha. Anyway, I'm going to be keeping my eye on it and trying to see if I can figure out what variables seem to be causing the behavior. If anyone else ever notices this though, please post.

Just an update: the behavior had seemed to fix itself, but this was while I was traveling out of town for the holidays. Back home now, and the behavior returned. Since I've replicated this with my wife's stock Galaxy Alpha, I'm wondering if this has something to do with my home location being set in maps...or? Seems weird that it resolved while traveling but continues when back home. Really surprised nobody else has noticed this. Maybe it's something specific to my home location? Guess I will keep checking on it and report back if I figure anything further out.

GPS problems after Nougat update

Hi there,
I'm having problems with the GPS since the update to OS4... Before that I could record my runs with apps (runkeeper, polar) and never had a problem.
After the update I had 2 runs where my GPS signal was lost (or the apps stopped without notification)....
Is there a way to go back to an older version of OS, or would a factory reset help?

Factory reset is the first one you should try.But before that try to download kinda test apps for testing the gps .

But how test gps? It works for the first 6km....and than something stopped, maybe the app.. But Wednesday I used another app and that stopped recording also... Don't know if app stops after losing gps signal.. So maybe the apps are the problem... Not stable for use with Nougat maybe, because on MM everything was working fine

yes there is always a way to revert back to older build.Just download stock version which ever you want and flash it using recovery and voila you have your stable version back where gps worked for sure.

Yes but it is ok One plus even gives you warranty on Unlocked bootloader.

This phone generally has very poor gps. I'm talking about from oos 3..5.4 it was really bad so idk if it got any better because I'm oos 4.0.1 and it's just as bad.

At the moment I've reinstalled the running apps that were giving me problems so look what happens now

Is the toolkit here on XDA working ok with OS4?

I guess it might me antenna hidden somewhere in bad place or something and it is not software dependant? Otherwise they would fix it

Gps worked better in 3.5.4 than on 4.01 signal is good but it calculates 22m accuracy an this wig good with lock on 17 satellites and strong signal .. and losses connection way to often.. (its something system/cpu/powering related..) needs to be fixed !!!
Maybe you have "active doze mode enabled" in battery settings... this renders GPS almost unusable as it kill /gps resets and locks again( and it way to often in background...

I got my 3T today tested the gps on 3.5.3 works perfectly acuracy is with in 10 meters.gonna test is later on using OS 4

on my old HTC one m7, I have accuracy min 6m when I am outside and next to OP3 where 10m accuracy is a max what I can get with fluctuations to 15-50m all the time. I have no idea what is going on. Also compass is behaving weirdly and not always showing correct North.

Same here, OxygenOS 4.0.2 broke the GPS
I use navigation a lot with my phone (Google Maps). I had no issues with the GPS quality and speed on Marshmellow (OxygenOS 3.2.8). Got the update to Nougat (OxygenOS 4.0.2) a week ago.
Since the upgrade, GPS often does not get a fix for several minutes, often puts me several 100 meters away from where I am, and keeps loosing the GPS fix every few minutes while I am driving. It is basically unusable for navigation.
I am now taking along my good old LG G4 every day just to use it as a navigation device. Have been running both phones in parallel in the car; the G4 gets me to my destination while I would not be able to find anything with the OnePlus 3....
I am already considering downgrading back to 3.2.8. But I'd have to factory reset and reinstall everything, that sucks

I recently had GPS issues on OOS 4.0.2 until I turned off Wi-Fi Scanning. After turning it off, GPS works normal.
