[miui gps fix]come on!! Let us test it!!!!!

hi everybody!!!
Firstly, thank you for wasting your time read my post which may not actually work for your device.
Ok, let's begin.I believe that I find a way to fix MIUI GPS problem. Maybe works for CM, but i haven't tested it.
It was all begin from I found a phenomenon that the first boot after I flashed a GPSfix.zip(download from MIUI.com), GPS would work perfectly, but the second time i booted, the third time i booted, GPS just broke down. So i thought that it was the script in the GPSfix.zip that made GPS work!!
Obviously, what I need to do is that to make sure the script runs every time I boot my phone. So I got an app "autostart.apk" for help. And then, I modified the script picked up from the GPSfix.zip.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALL INSTRUCTION
1. flash gpsfix.zip in cmw.
2. install autostart.apk, reboot your phone, and click yes when ask for root.
3. Put the autostart.sh to /data/opt (you have to create opt folder yourself),reboot
4. use angrygps.apk for settings(mebased,cold start,sulp.nokia.com,7275) and testing.

DECLAIMER
1. Also I would not be responsible for any problem caused.
2. I AM NOT a developer. I HAVEN'T STUDIED LINUX, NOT TO MENTION ANDROID. what i did is search on the Internet, holding the ethusiasm to MIUI. SO any suggestion is welcomed!!!!AND I hope a developer can carry on GPS fix job,cause I have no knowledge of android.
3. Sorry for my pooooooor english. BUT I think you can understand what i said.
4. I am not sure whether this way is suitable for you or not. If not, I am sorry. And I hope you can fight for MIUI GPS throughout, for you, for me, and for every Vibrant!

Strange, GPS has worked for me just fine on MIUI since 1.9.2. Sometimes GPS won't activate (satellite icon won't appear), but a reboot has always fixed it.

I was thinking the same thing. Ever since I've been using MIUI I have had a working GPS. I didn't know GPS was broken on MIUI.

Same exact issue I'm having with MiUi.
GPS fails to activate/engage(sat icon does not appear)... unless I reboot then GPS works.
Anyone know why, or a possible fix?

Every gpsd I've used in my own fix or any other fix seems to be really sensitive to lock-failures - if you back out of an app that's trying to get a fix, for some reason gps never comes back online.
If I can get a fix first thing, this seems to never happen.

I think you're right, that has been my experience as well.
Regardless, it's reassuring to hear I'm not alone!

To everyone who said there GPS has always worked on miui, has your navigation worked too? Because my phone knows where I am if I'm still but never moving.
And I have been on miui since they have said to have had working GPS and the only think that worked for me is the cm7 fix. Well until 1.5 came out.

I hope someone figues out a fix. I really hate rebooting to get GPS to work.
You know what also was working since last night. I downloaded ADVANCED TASK KILLER, and killed everything, and it had the same effect as rebooting. The built in task killer in miui does not have the same effect. This ATK trick was working up till about 10 mins ago when my GPS wouldn't come on no matter what! I was forced to reboot. Other than that the ATK trick worked. You know what else....I found going into App manager...finding the APP GPStest and clearing the user data for some reason has the same effect as rebooting also, makes GPS in Maps work.
Strange observations I know.

SoDs and other reboot bugs.

Could some of you, who use CM7 please tell me, which apps you are using? Cause then I would do a fresh installation on my OB, make a backup and then you can try to restore it and see if you still have SoDs... Cause either those are due to faulty installations, buggy apps, you are using, or other things. Cause I never had any before (except in Zeus, where everyone had them). I really wanna try to figure out, if it is a CM7 error or if you guys make things wrong somehow... Tell me, if you wanna give it a shot

I don't remember very well, but i think i was using either twitter or foursquare, then i pushed the power button, phone did not respond after that. Also while charging.

Coulf anyone gimme a full list of the apps you are using? Cause the i could set it up and you could simply restore the backup and see, if it gets better.

SGS Running CM10 Turns off automatically

Hey I hope one of you guys can help me.
I have a galaxy s running cm10 and I have had this persistent problem with my phone turning off automatically.
When I use it, I press the side button to turn off the screen and it is fine for a minute or so, but if I leave it any longer than that it turns off.
I have heard of something called Deep Sleep, is this the problem?
Is there a way to change how long it has to be locked to go into deep sleep?
Please help
I am losing hope
Cheers

Sounds interesting i know this from the first custom roms i tried a year ago!
Which build of cm10 are you using? Any "faulty" app installed? for me dropbox made cm10 instable and laggy, so i stopped using it.
Have you checked the md5-sum of the .zip file of your downloaded rom? Maybe the download was faulty... Happened to me twice on cm-nightlies.
Cheers
EDIT: Which kernel are you using? For me Stock-Kernel ist aboslutely rocksolid! My phone had 140 hours ontime this morning, before i flashed the newest build.

Hi,
Is you IMEI ok ? I had this problem with CM10 too but now my IMEI is ok I have no pb at all

have you overclocked your phone? i had the same thing happening with other roms...as soon as i had overclocked and turned the screen off, my phone got stuck after a while. try cleaning nstools settings. if that doesn't work, you might try turning off deep idle if it's active, could also be the reason

Hey
Where is deep idle?
I have no idea where it is and ive looked everywhere in settings.
Do you have photos?
That would help.

Okay, let's start from the beginning :silly:
Whats the exact name of the rom you flashed?
How do you flashed it? (Wipe, etc.)
Have you flashed any other stuff? (Inverted Gapps, Battery mod, Kernel, etc.)
Have you many apps installed?
If i where you, i would flash the newest build with a full wipe, so you got a new, bugfree and stable system

same issue
I have been having the same issue ever since switching to CM10, I have been installing nightlies hoping it will end, but appears to be isolated. Would it help to manually flash boot for each ROM? It cuts off randomly and won't turn on unless charged by a wall charger, or other high-power input (doesn't turn on or charge from car outlet). It doesn't appear to be caused by an app.

Did you wipe when installing nightlies?
If you try to go stock with Odin, and the issue is exactly the same, I think you should consider it could be battery malfunction.

[Q] Phone freeze

Hi, I have a problem with my O2x. Every night when my phone is charging, it freeze and the alarm don't work.. And every day I late at high school. Last night my phone was fully charged so I don't need to charge it, but yet my phone freeze and the alarm don't work again..
Why this happen?
My rom is Wiui 2.1.0.7 and i use the symbi0sis kernel. It is happen because I use the ramhack?
Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

I have the same problem too, i think it is a bug in the kernel. I have guestes2x 3.8 on my phone with the same kernel.

You can try to set the phone to "Always active while charging" (not sure how the exact English translation is as I am using a German menu). You can find it in "Development options" in settings. I read in some other thread that this should help. Let me know if it works

I tried this but did not work.. now the only solution is to change the kernel.

You could also try setting the screen-off frequency a bit higher. I've heard that some phones have problems with the 216mhz frequency (if that's what you're using)
Or it's due to the ROM. I had issues with WIUI too, been on Temasek's CM7 build for ages now and haven't had a problem since then.

If you shut down your wifi, the problem is solved.
What i do is :
Add a alarm on 11 pm with a profile included.
In the profile you should set wifi off.
So your wifi is automatic shut down.
And by the alarm you must include a profile with wifi on, so you can get your mail etc.
It is very simple

I get that sometimes on CyanogenMod 10.1. What I do is go to Settings>Applications, find the Gallery app, then press "Clear Data." That usually fixes the Gallery app until the next CM 10.1 update.

I tried deleting the data in the app but still no luck on the camera.
It was working great but then stated giving me this error when trying to open up
the camera app only, I can view the gallery photos still though.

UPDATE: I finally decided to try a full / clean install of another rom but still no luck.
The camera app will start but the shutter graphic never opens up and i hear a "click" sound
then I get the error message. Anyone have any advice? thanks

Are your Apps/Gapps up to date?
Did you install or uninstall any apps within those weeks that had effect on camera/gallery?

I got this error when I turned on the big mem setting without first going into the camera and changing the video quality to 480 instead of 720.....also if big mem setting is on, sometimes even after flashing a new rom big mem is still on.

Im not getting any updates needed via notifications or goo manager. I did a fresh complete delete n install of aocp 5 and hellybean lastest roms and still cant get the camera to work, very odd I must say. That being said Im totally lost on this one. I havent changed any of the memory settings that im aware of.Is it possible the camera has become defective for no reason or is it probably a software issue?

I'd say to try going back to stock KK4 at this point, test your camera, it it works, work your way back up to the ROM you wanna use. If it doesn't, it's probably hardware.

I'm not so sure. Although, there might be a app for it.
When on stock, did you try it barebone? (Without restoring your apps)

Was your phone already on 2.3 when you got it?? Otherwise, you should have Odin KK4 with bootloaders already.
Either way, here it is: http://hotfile.com/dl/137871658/d25...O_Bootloaders_Re-partition_Full_Wipe.zip.html
You'll need Corn kernel afterwards to get back on the ROM you want to use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26710533&postcount=1

I mute the phone and when I try to start the camera It shows the camera app start(but the lens never opens on screen) but I still hear a "click" sound and then the app force closes with the error message. I have went back to the captivating 4.2.2 Rom by sephhi (my favorite for the cappy by far)and will just use the phone as is until I hear of a fix in the future. I will keep monitoring this thread if anyone finds a fix please advise asap. Thanks for everyones help.

Your reply isn't very clear. Did you go back to stock KK4 and try it and that gave you the black screen? If so, yes it is hardware related and we can't fix it for you, you'll need to have it repaired. (mobiletechvideos.com might be able to)

Sorry , I have tried all suggestions and had no luck. when i say the screen goes black i meant in the camera app it goes black/grey
as it normally should but the camera doesn't open it up to show the video on screen because it crashes.

I guess I'll just use it as is without a camera for now , I think fixing it would cost more than I wanna pay at this time.
Anyone know how much cash I could get out of this phone if I sold it with captivating rom 4.2.2 installed on it without the camera working?
I may just sale it and purchase a new phone. Thanks:good:

Having a custom on it won't make it more valuable. Most people like to get them clean.
Also, they were around 60$ last time I checked, I dunno now.

If you're looking to sell, PM me

Re: [Q] Camera just stopped working (capitivating 4.2.2)
I wasn't saying because it has 4.2.2 its valued more. Just was wondering the value of the phone and was stating the current Rom(and by far the best IMO) installed on it. I just recently purchased this phone GSM Network unlocked for $160.00 locally. Thanks for everyones help:thumbup:
I will take $110.00 for the phone and take a loss. I'm not techy/smart enough to attempt to repair the camera myself LOL, if anyone is interested PM me.
