Are you running the updated baseband?

Updated baseband and bad gps
I have CM7 and the updated baseband and just went for a run and was not able to get runkeeper to pick up my location until the end. I just tried bloater again, I'll let you know if that fixes things.

I experienced the same thing when I came from EB 2.3.3. Went to ROM Manager and used Fix Permissions. Seemed to lock much quicker after that, don't know why.

SGS tools has a gps fix, it can be found in the forums. It was made by Fr4gg0r. I haven't had gps issues but this could help. As always run at your own risk

As usual, if you have odd issues that other's aren't reporting - try starting over with a reflash. Flashing isn't perfect, so alot of times a re-flash will take care of these issues.
I've had some GPS issues since going to EA11 but i'm gonna try the newer ROM before I do a complete reinstall if needed. Foresquare never gets my location when I hit refresh lately.
When I switched to the eb16 pnp, I went ahead and installed a couple adons like the sgs touchwiz update and navigator apps from uscc(just used to using it). The gps is pinpoint accurate almost instantly unlike in previous the previous roms, and everything is super fast with voodoo

Com.android.phone fc'ing

I'm currently running DB 3.0 rc3.
I'm consistently having com.android.phone. and com.android.messages fc'ing on me quite often. Ive done complete wipes, I've deleted anything Twitter, I've cleared the cache and data.
Is it possible to replace both of above to eliminate problems?
Thanks for any help guys and gals

Trying rebooting into recovery and fixing permissions.
You could always reflash the rom as well.

I've fixed permissions, and reflashed ROM. Is it a possibility on glitchy radio?
Ive also froze every app that has been downloaded to possibly isolate a crappy appy doing it.

Its possible. What rom and radio are you running?
I see yore running a gb rom. Try reflashing mr2 or mr2.5 radios. That and a fresh flash/full wipe should do it.

Dloading a fresh MR2, will double check md5, you have suggestion for good kernel, or one that just comes with DB 3.0 RC3?
Thanks for your help man
I'm having the exact same errors, both on 3.0 and the 2.1 remix with some 3.0 pieces. I don't know if it's gingerbread or not but it's super annoying. I mean I get netflix and some eye candy in terms of 3.0 but sacrifice the following:
Phone instability. Sometimes not being able to dial out OR accept calls and getting the android.phone FC is SUPER annoying. I even had to pull my battery on a few occasions.
Radio Issues. I never have 4g connection issues living near Seattle and now it fails all the time. My data completely turns off and sometimes I can't turn the mobile network back on other than restarting (using a 2.5 radio)
Streaming Issues. Namely Skyfire no longer streams vids. Don't know if it's simply coincidence or GB doesn't like it. Did read lots of other posts about people having streaming issues tho with Google Music, etc.
I like GB but if all these are the compromises, I'll be going back to Froyo today.

At this point I would flash back to stock. Using Jcase's thread, it's one of the stickies in development.

I had the same problem before, did some searching and found that it was a glitch with peep syncing. Didn't set up peep on the BAMF 3.0 builds and haven't had a single problem. Perhaps you still have some lingering peep stuff and that's causing it (even after a wipe) If you've never touched peep, them I dunno. Just telling you what seemed to fix my phone after the same error.
I'm having the same problem. Tried doing fix permissions in CWM. Never touched Peep. Anyone know if it is a radio problem? I'm using the MR2. Problem occurring on the MR2.5?
I know you said you deleted everything Twitter. But just to make sure, did you unlink your contacts from Twitter. So think of a contact that you call or calls you and you get the FC, look at thier contact info and make sure Twitter for Sense isn't linked.
I'm having the same errors. Do you think using Titanium Backup to freeze Peep and Twitter would help solve the problem?
I had the same issue when i first flashed GB. It showed up after using TiBu to restore apps and app data.
I wiped data and reflashed the rom, and then re-downloaded apps and only used TiBu to restore data for saved games and I haven't received a phone FC since. Hope this helps.

Need help with GPS locks

I need help because my GPS wont lock... I've tried the G2X bloater and installed my region but it still wont lock even after 5 minutes.
EDIT: I'm on Faux's AOSP Rom with his kernel as well.
Do you have the newest baseband? That helped me lock much better.

Just curious if under Settings > Location and Security do you have Use Wireless Networks enabled?

What's the easiest way to install that? Do you have to flash official gb?
Sent from my LG G2x
I'm not familiar with your ROMs, however, I find it helps to have an unobscured view of the horizon in most directions and to not be moving in a car. If that fails, I then use an app called GPS Test by Chartcross Ltd. Go into settings and there are two buttons on the top labeled: Clear AGPS and Update AGPS. Try each of the two buttons.
I just looked up AGPS and here's what Wikipedia has to say, "Assisted GPS, generally abbreviated as A-GPS or aGPS, is a system which can, under certain conditions, improve the startup performance, or time-to-first-fix (TTFF) of a GPS satellite-based positioning system." Hope this helps.

the only way to install the new baseband is by using lgupdate tool, or kdz firmware updater along with the kdz file. try the lgupdate tool first. there are numerous threads explaining the process,which for some is a one click success story. for others, a walk through programming hell. the lgupdate tool is plagued.
Alright thanks everyone. I AM on the newest baseband, but am trying cm7 now

Let us know if this fixes your GPS. My GPS sucks taint too, and will upgrade the baseband if it fixes it, but don't want to risk the possible PITA using the LG tool if it doesn't fix it. Everything else other than battery life is amazing on my phone.

I have to reboot my phone to get the GPS to lock about half the time I try to navigate since upgrading to Gingerbread. I have the new baseband. It sucks. I complained again and they finally agreed to ship me a new phone. Not sure that will help anything...
Download from app market gps test, then after you run the gps test go to setings and hit clear agps and also update agps then it should lock under 15 seconds

search button fires up

hey guys, I know this is a known issue, but I can't take it anymore, I literally can't use 3g, because the voice button activates itself all the time, I'm using it, I don't know if I should send it, to warranty, because this is clearly a bug... I need some advice please.
BTW my nexus s is rooted, I've tried also all the roms available and still got the same issue. help
Have you flashed a different radio? It is a known issue with the 9020A.

- adb push iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread
gonna try that see whats up thanks.
Been waiting months for a fix. KB3 modem is the best in regards to minimizing the problem. Also, cyanogen nightly (7.1) has the option to map the short and long press of the search to "nothing".
There is also a paid app, i think it's called "search nothingness" or something along those lines that can remap the search to nothing.
personally with KB3, i rarely get the issue, usually only during GPS navigation. At home and at work, i have wifi, so 90% of the time, it's a non-issue.

I hope this also fixes my issue with Home and Back buttons getting stuck in "long press."
Yea what a joke. I updated the radio to "fix" my search button issue. Oh it fixes it but also brings capped data speeds and no modifying the ro.ril aka build.prop doesn't help. So sacrifice speed for annoyance depletion or keep the raw dog and risk throwing you're phone out the window at 70 on the interstate!!!! Lol it fixes it. No we just have to fix the data caps again.

I understand the update has been pulled because it caused more problems then it fixed. A new update ifs reported to be released in the next two Weeks, though that is not 100% confirmed.

Its not a huge problem for me. I get great reception almost everywhere I go except for some basements and at work.
I can't take calls while at work so its not a problem.

I had the bug, installed 2.3.6 and it's gone. No more random firing of the search button. My only new bug is that my gmail application Outbox count won't work properly. Even when it's empty it shows a number.
If I reset the application and clear it's data it starts up again with the issue.

Hey guys I didn't want to start another thread so I'm continuing this post.
I'm still noticing the search button bug (Firing randomly) in low reception areas.
Currently I'm running the ICS OTA 4.0.3 with UCKF1 radio on the i9020a.
Is anyone else still seeing this bug from time to time? Did anyone find a way to fix completely? If so please share you solution, if not share your stories. Thanks guys.
I have the i9020a and mine had the annoying bug as well except it was the home button firing with recent apps coming up all the time. I have updated to 4.0.3 from the t-mobile version and flashed the ucke1 radio and have not hae the problem since. In fact I have not run into any problems yet.

If you get the search bug with 2.3.6, send your phone in to get the screen replaced. Also keep in mind that the current ota of ics is NOT for the i9020a

Yeah that's the sad part I upgrades to the July 16 gingerbread bseband and its still slow as balls. I've tried.bloater and everything.I haven't tried manually editing the GPS config as I'm scared to mess it up. I might attempt to flash back to stock and wipe system a billion times to clear everything then reflash and see what happens bit I love miui.us too Mich and want to keep it...the inlet downside o have right now is GPS everything else is perfect
