[Q] GPS problem with InsertCoin 3.4.6-Test - HTC Sensation

When I try to use GPS with google navigation it takes what seems like forever for the phone to "search for GPS" and usually never finds it. If i'm on the road and hold down the magnifying glass button and say navigate to wherever, it takes so long to find GPS that it's not even worth it. Anybody experience this or know how to fix it?
Thanks

Thats an old version u got there buddy! v4.5.2 is the latest

And if I wanted ICS I would have downloaded it but I don't. In my opinion it's still too early to convert to ICS so I prefer 2.3.5. Therefore buddy you didn't even make an attempt at answering my question, just spamming my thread.

Have you tried the various gps/agps fixes? When I was on GB, I was using crypted's fixes. I usually download the google one and delete any suplerootcert files.
Also kernel's don't play well with gps. I always defaulted to the default kernel the rom had. In my experience, faux always borked my gps and bricked worked for a little while, but I always reverted back to the bundled kernel or stock one.

No I haven't tried any of the GPS fixes, I'll have to browse around for them. Any idea where I could find them? I may just need to revert to stock, I've been running bricked and I've really liked it but I'm getting bogged down now for some reason. Thanks for the info.

Try the bundled kernel first with the gps before playing with the fixes I mentioned. If it still doesn't work then go and try here,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262652&highlight=gps

Keyboard randomly freezes on DHD ROMs!

I have had no major problems with my Inspire 4G while on Inspire 4G ROMs (well... Stock, rooted stock, and Inspired Ace which is customized for the inspire.) On every DHD ROM I have installed, there seems to be a problem with touch input. When typing emails, searches, SMS, and other things random keys will just stop working! Sometimes I can tap them repeatedly and fix it while others you have to exit whatever app you are in and open it back up. It gets really annoying.
I am currently on CoreDroid, but have had this problem with TB Fusion, RCMixHD, and RCMix3D as well. Since Inspired Ace worked fine I tried flashing its HTC_IME.apk to see if this fixed the problem. It didn't. I seem to be the only one with these problems on the Inspire. Has anyone else noticed? Does anyone have any suggestions for what could cause these issues?
(Yes, I am aware of the problems flashing ime packages from other ROMs can cause, I was just trying to see if it fixed the problem. I had to backup zip ready to flash in case it caused FC problems...)
Thanks in advance guys!
I'm using leedroid and I have the same problems of random keys not working at random times.

Wait so there is no possibility of ripping the drivers from stock and flashing or getting a kernel with them? And how come it worked on Inspired Ace? Did gtg465x get the driver issue fixed? Not trying to sound angry there just a bit perplexed since IA was dhd based....

Might be hardware than, I do remember it being brought up and it's unfixable.. I've had it happen on factory stock plenty of times. I just change my screen to horizontal and fixes it.

Hmm... Well mine never did that. Only failed to rotate a few times due to a few malfunctioning third party apps... If i find a fix I will post it.
I've had this as well and thought that maybe it was Better Keyboard having an issue with either the Inspire in general, or CoreDroid. So this is happening to others using the stock keyboard. Glad it's not just me.

No you aren't alone... I consulted gtg465x and he only edited a few things in /system/customize so I flashed the IA /system/customize/default.xml and it seems to have greatly improved. Noticed one of those such lags but it is not the one out of every hundred that it was. I typed this a few other things multiple sms one of which was long and only had to tap one key multiple times to get it to work. And only three taps at that!
If I further test it I will ask gtg for his permission and post the default.xml in a flashable zip.
Now all that is left to do is edit build.prop to make my phone say inspire not dhd then flash from mdj v21 to 23, calibrate battery for this ROM (grr... Coredroid updates wiped my battery stats while it was only at 63 percent charge during install) and then I can finally be happy and leave my phone exactly how it is! Yeah that will last all of what? A week maybe? Haha nah I am happy on coredroid!

I've had this happen to me on multiple ROM's and it always seems to be the "e" key that stops working for me. I just restart my phone or change input methods and it usually fixes it for a while.
Wish there was a permanant fix cause it does get annoying.

According to my research, editing the build.prop file on Sense ROMS doesn't directly reflect what is listed in About Phone. It seems that you have to edit default.xml in /system/custom/CID.... before installing the ROM
Yeah I read the same thing.right after i posted that... Oh well! Maybe when I get bored enough to do it. And after further testing i concluded that changing the default.xml to disable some of the keyboard layouts and things as gtg465x did didn't really help all that much... On the bright side, i may just go back to inspired ace and use uot kitchen to customize it
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
So nobody has any other potential fixes for these freezes? Has it happened on every ROM you guys have used or what? I tried replacing my customize folder with the one from ia with cut down keyboard languages and layouts but no luck. Maybe we can find a fix!
EDIT: There may appear to be some confusion here. The problem in reference is not that the keyboard fails to rotate, gets stuck in landscape, or shows that a message is being typed and nothing appears on screen. The problem I am having here is that certain keys in random order at completely random times do not work but the keys around them do. This results in messages such as "Hey that bnd sunded relly gd" instead of "Hey that band sounded really good!!!" because the A and O ceased to function and likewise the exclamation point which is with the A. Also, at times the key will show it is being pressed but stops registering before the symbol it relates to is pressed. These problems exist on stock android keyboard and on sense keyboard. Hopefully someone will find a fix in drivers or something otherwise we will have to wait for a cracked official OTA GB update if that ever happens as they say it will...

I´m having the same issue, and it´s driving me crazy!!!
It´s weird, because I´ve had this phone for months, and had no problems, until a week ago.
I´m on Stock ROM BTW.
no solution? this is an on going problem and hard to ignore...
I have to agree with everyone here.. It is a pretty glaring flaw in the Inspire. And many people think that it barely happens.. But it is a problem that occurs for me at least 5 times a day and that is not an exaggeration. Everything that I have been reading does say that this is an impossible thing to fix.. Just a bit frustrating. Does anyone have a way that lessens this from occurring?
ive had this problem also for awhile. ive had it on every custom rom that i can think of. i used coredroid and cm7 for awhile. right now im using miui. ive tried 3-4 different keyboard at least, and had this problem with all of them. the keyboards accuracy also seems to decline. when switching to a new keyboard the problem initially goes away, but it eventually starts doing it again with the different keyboard.
finally! thanks you, guys. Finally I get support for a bug that supposedly didn't exist. I have been out of the rooting and ROM flashing game for a few months, as I got a new Inspire and never got the chance to root it. I finally caught a break from school work and got fed up with having to do battery pulls on the ATT stock ROM (terribly made, I must say. Sense froze daily.) I rooted and flashed the trusty old Inspired Ace and what do you know? flawless. as always. I flash the new coredroid 8.1 to see if the keyboard bug still persisted. For the first day, I had no problems. Then the freezes came back. I think it is very possibly a side effect of the undervolt kernel. As for those that say all phones are not created equally, and my processor just can't take the ROM, is that really likely on two phones in a row while the inspired ace ROM works flawlessly?
Edit: Also, for those that say stick to IA if it works, it hasn't been updated in a long long time and never will be since GTG465x moved to the Captivate
It's not that people don't beleive you, its just that this is not a common enough bug for it to be a software issue. It has to be a specific hardware malfunction. I have never had this problem on any Rom configuration that I have used. I have never seen it as a reported bug either.
Sent from my Inspire 4G Using XDA Premium
Good point... It just still doesn't make since since one DHD ROM didn't do it all yet others do. Coredroid I is not doing it nearly as severely cd6 did. So maybe there is hope that it is a fluke combination of hardware and software bugs rarely manifested.

Bump
Well, in preparation for android 4 I decided to get used to AOSP ROMs since they will probably be more widely available than ICS Sense ROMs. After using cm7.1 for just two days, the bug is still there. Note that this is a different inspire than the thread was started on. Does anyone have any solutions? It just makes no sense that this bug does not occur for me on Inspired Ace or Stock but does on every other GB Rom I have tested. For everyone reading this with the urge to pop a comment at me like "Stupid, stick with IA if it works," that ROM has been abandoned since May 5, so it is outdated. Any hopes for ICS roms solving the problem?
Keyboard app is not the problem. Does it on touch input (sense ROMs), swiftkey X, swype, and android default keyboard.

[Q] - Will you use CM9?

Simple question. If it ever becomes available (no official updated in well over a month) will you use this as an everyday ROM on your G2X?
I for one may try it out, but as most users have reported on the CM website, CM7 is so broken I may just wait for the stock version.
What do you mean by cm7 is broken? And I very likely would use it?

Here's the way I figures it: my stock ROM was bugged, it took soft bricking it and reloading a stock rom, which went buggy and finally flashing CM7 to get a rom which worked correctly. The only broken thing I notice if DSP manager FC'ing and Volume+ FC'ing, if I compare that to the ton of advantages and the fact it's actually stable OS-wise, I'd rather deal with two apps FC'ing at times then not even being able to text or the responsiveness being so poor that I want to throw the phone at someone.
So, yea, +1 for running CM9 if/when it comes out.
Yeah... I don't think cm7 is broken at all.
Gapps not loading for you is your fault, either you did or didn't flash the right zip, or it's just ignorance on your part.
Of course people will use cm9 if it works for our phone, that's a redundant question. ICS would run so smooth for us if everything works.
Just switched to cm7 because of random reboots and programs closing out while using them on stock.
cm7 is ok so far when i restored everything i got alot of force close but thats all due to mixmatch date since i was on 2.3.3 lg and no on 2.3.7 cm7.
but i got everything to work just find for me. Took the rom apart and repacked it with some stuff.
So what im saying is you probably did something wrong. And i would run cm9 if it came out that would be ICS but also ill be moving to a galaxy s2 by the time it comes out.
CM7 is Gold
Transitioning from the stock G2X ROM, to CM7. CM7 is like Goldmaster for this phone, as good as it gets. Awesome battery life. Usability, No random crashes. It just sounds like you picked a bad version to begin with. Now what built, and nightly were you using. Did you try the stable 7.0.0.1.
Always clear cache & Darvik and then proceed.

Is this a rhetorical question...? Of course I'm going to use CM9. CM7 is awesome already.

Can't say I've tried to send a true mms, just huge texts messages which get sent as an mms. Try an app called Handcent; the stock messaging app is to fail!
Before getting throttled for downloading on a 2g network (so much for that 5gigs of "high-speed" data, liars), youtube worked fine.
GPS issue has nothing (well, almost) nothing to do with CM, there's three threads that I know about regarding gps fixes. The only "gps" problem I notice now is that google maps sucks at getting a lock and I have to use Gps Status to get the satelites homed in on me before Maps will get my location.
I am positive the devs will get us a good working version of ics so when cm9 comes out and is as stable and fast as my current setup i will daily drive it for sure
Making bad decision's one at a time.
Once a working ICS-based build becomes available, I will certainly give it a look.
CM7 is working fine for me, i had to flash the gapps, and its working fine. And yes i would run CM9 when it comes out...
For sure I'll use, cm7 rocks! Hope cm9 goes the same way!!

[Q] what can i do with stock, rooted and s-off?

I dont have a custom rom installed and dont really want to as they all seem to have issues with wifi calling (need it since I only have 100mins prepaid plan). It doesn't seem to make sense to install extra stuff if neither are stable.
1) I would like to install a different keyboard that has swype or atleast the htc version of swype but without the keyboard vibrating every time i press a key.
2) I would also like to install/use a different kernel to overclock the cpu (and/or gpu, if possible)...is this possible?
3) Can I install/use a bootscreen/shutdown screen? and/or when i turn off the scren the screen turns off like a tv?
4) What is the quickest and/or easiest way to remove stock apps that I dont want on the phone?
Are either of these things possible without installing a gb/ics rom?
Thanks in advance.
Yes to all, but you'll have to dig to find all the resources...

With root, you can do this easily. However, the "like a tv" part isn't really working right now for sense 3.5/4.0 roms. I'm assuming you'll stick with sense 3.0, if so then yeah you'll still have that

you should be able to shut off the vibration when typing within the Language and Keyboard settings for whichever keyboard you are using.
There are some really good kernel devs that do work for the Sensation (faux and showp, to name just 2), and it would be of great benefit to you battery life to look into flashing kernels. Both tose guys have threads just for their kernels, with instructions for flashing.
Good luck

I was worried about this also, but Wifi calling works great with ARHD and Virtuous ICS roms.
I had a minor issue with WIFI calling with ARHD, but Virtuous seems solid. ARHD has since fixed that problem too.
Keep a backup of your current rom. Try ARHD or Virtuous for a week, and if you run into any problems, revert back.
The extra boost in speed from a well turned ROM was WELL worth it. I can't believe how slow my stock Sensation was at just scrolling albums in Google Music. Now its nice and smooth with clean ROMs.

Jb rom questions and talk thread for bruce 2728 cm10 alpha kang thread

Starting this to clear up space hopefully in the developer thread as I am no developer just a user that really loves this rom and want to help by having questions that are not developmental here also if you want to say that this rom is the best just to say it please do it.
By not developmental I mean what kernels are working for you, possible workaround apps, your roms settings, advanced app that just works better than maybe a pre-installed etc.pretty much anything you would want to say in the rom thread that you know someone is probably gonna say that should be somewhere else.
If Bruce wants me to take this down I will but figured it may help some.
Here is a list of working and not working functions
Thanks to Bruce 2728 and cm team for great work also anyone else that is helping with development have a good day
Not working

for full screen video playback go into settings then developer options and check disable hw overlay box as a workaround

Wifi working beautifully for me here. Actually getting reception in the back rooms of my house that I usually don't. As for BT... I can't say as I don't ever use it.
I'm using the Tamcore kernel for overclocking purposes and as a result, the Bluetooth behavior I'm seeing won't be the same as others are experiencing necessarily, but I'll add it for the sake of the few who are also using this kernel.
Pairing is working - I can see my laptop from the Sensation and vice versa. However, when I attempt to transfer files from the laptop to the phone, the transfer fails with an error that states the type of file cannot be transferred. Seeing as it's a simple .rtf file, that is a highly unlikely scenario and something else is going on there.
That's all I have re this issue, but hopefully it will strike a chord with the devs and point toward a fix.
Meantime, there is also some interference between music playback via Apollo and GPS activity - pauses happen seemingly in sync with the GPS doing stuff in the background. The rest of the time, playback is flawless.
Played some video on YouTube and had no issues. Didn't try full screen though but will update when I've had the chance to do so.
Camera, as noted elsewhere, cannot be found by the app.
Apps other than Phone are unable to use the mic so voice search, G Now, Gstrings guitar tuner and so on won't work as yet.
WiFi is working and I get 10Mb's down no probs. GPS is outstanding... getting GPS lock indoors in 8 seconds.
Occasional graphics glitches, but rare and not debilitating.
Not seeing the UI smoothness experienced by others, but should add that my ICS install was already smooth. Or maybe my expectations were unrealistic.
That's about it. No doubt the next fixes from bruce2728 will render these comments moot.
Cheers,

What radio / hboot versions are you using? I have forever had wifi problems with my sensation really trying to sort it out been bugging me for days, tried nearly everything i can think of and I been flashing android phones for years now. I know it is not a hardware issue as it works on stock roms but not on CM9 / CM10.

are you using the kernel that was included because I have found that tamcore's cm9 kernel had fully working Wi-Fi and Bluetooth works perfectly for me and is incredibly smooth also

There's a headphones workaround that uses a Play Store widget to re-route the speaker though the headset. Not a fix, obviously, but enough to get by for those for whom no headphones is a deal-breaker for flashing onto their phone.

for me youtube full screen causes reboots
but if you download super video pop-up video player from the market you can drag the video pretty big almost full screen with no issues so far from me
all you have to do is go to youtube find the video you want them press share and select super video to play youtube videos

Yes, in hopes that retards might actually read it.
Girlfriend is out of town so I've got nothing to do for awhile so I'm going to flash this and test a bunch of stuff out. If anyone has any requests on apps to test, I'd be glad to download em and give it a whirl. That is, provided I don't bork my phone flashing this directly over Virtuous Inquisition.

Well I tried with Tamcore's 3.0.38 00673 kernel and it doesn't break or fix anything. JB does run a little smoother than stock kernel but still broken wifi
did you reflash rom or just flash kernel maybe try full wipe and reflash with tamcore from start if you didn't already

Hellfire Phoenix V2.3 p999 [cm7.2 /super tweeked] - audio/music stops randomly...

Hi,
Firstly, want to thank the dev for this great rom. I recently switched back from ICS because I couldn't take the lag/wanted a fully functioning operating system.
The main problem I' having with this rom is that when I'm listening to music/audio files they'll stop for no apparent reason. The only thing I can think of is that maybe they're stopping when I go in and out of service. When I either unlock and press play or switch apps and press play they start again with not problems. I've found this to happen in multiple audio player (Poweramp and BeyondPod being the two main ones I use).
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is incredibly frustrating.
Thanks very much for your hard work.
btw: the reason I didn't post this in the related dev forum is that I don't as yet have enough posts to do so...so no flaming please).
Nobody is gonna flame you for posting a question on the questions forum.. (unless you didn't search first)
I've had this happen to me as well with different ROM's. I don't believe its ROM specific. My problems were related to some of my notification settings. I also switched from the standard player to UberMusic. It's old but does the job well.

Can't be too careful when it comes to flames.
I thought it might be my notification settings but I've tried pretty much every permutation of those. Can't really bring myself to switch from PowerAmp (paid) and BeyondPod(free) is the best podcast player I've found to date...I might try reinstalling the rom, maybe I didn't wait long enough before using it?

Does the problem exist if you were to use Google Music? If it does, then it's most definitely a problem with the ROM. Try a re-install and if that doesn't clear it up, you might want try out a different ROM to see if it's the ROM or not.

Sadly, or happily as I love PowerAmp, it does occur with Google Music too. Never had this problem on eaglseblood gb (which I mainly used before trying a few ICS roms) but switched as their GB rom is no longer maintained. Will try re-flashing. Hopefully that helps.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Yeah, i just recently discovered this issue too, and it kind of bugs me.
Still haven't found a way around this. Tried reflashing the rom which didn't help. Just tried flashing faux's 49b1 to see if that helps. The dalvik cache is being very slowly rebuilt. The newer kernel (the one included in hellfire 2.3) has a MUCH faster loading time (at least upon first load). Will post if this helps with the sound issue.

Well. I'm still having this problem. I've tried multiple kernels, multiple roms and even completely formatted my phone (all partition including boot sector). No luck. Truly aggravating because aside from this issue, I love this rom. Very smooth/fast and stable. Not sure I can live with this audio problem though as it's incredibly frustrating.
If anyone else has encountered this problem and found a solution, please post. Thanks,
I just dl the old music player apk here see if it helps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrtstudio.music
Also does it occur both when using headphones and not? I had issue with a set of headphones with a break in the wire, which would make the phone appear as though the headset was unplugged and plugged back in, which stopped playback constantly.
Let me know if this helps any.

Thanks for replying.
I'd wondered if that might be the reason too. I know it gains with different headphones as I've tried four different pairs. I'll have you try it without any and see. I did try disabling the setting for stop playback upon removal of headphones with no success. I'll try without headphones in and see. I'll have to flash the Rom again as I've been trying a few others out.

Did you get it figured out?

Sadly, no. I've tried playing music without headphones attached and the same problem occurs. Random stops. I go into whichever application (it happens in everyone single one I've tried) was playing an audio file and it starts up right where it left off when I press play.
It's worse now actually in that it occurs with whatever all roms. So now I'm left wondering if there's a micro fracture in the headphone sensor that only started acting up at the exact time I put Hellfire Phoenix 2.3 on my phone or if, somehow, it corrupted some base setting on the phone that even reformatting it can't get rid of.
Terribly aggravating. Debating taking it in for service but I need to find a Wind factory rom before I can do so. Think I saw one in the forums a few months ago. hopefully the link's still active.
Loathe/love technology.

I've reinstalled my phone's stock rom (WIND Mobile).
This seems to have sorted out the issue. I'm going to try reinstalling Hellsfire Phoenix in a few hours if it doesn't happen again (I'm playing music nwo and will continue for a couple hours to make sure).
I'm now wondering if maybe this was some sort of error caused by downgrading from an ICS build (hadn't occured to me previously but that's when I started having this issue and it didn't matter which GB rom I tried after that)? Hopefully this will be the end of these problems and I can enjoy Hellsfire Phoenix as it was great aside from that issue.
I'll post in a couple days if all goes well....or if it doesn't.

That's so odd. I'm curious to see what happens if you go from stock to HFP v2.3.

Well, sad to say that I still had that problem after trying HFP 2.3 again. So I went back to stock. This time it happened on stock too so I have to assume it's a hardware problem. I guess I just lucked out (well, poor luck in this case) that it went for four hours Friday without halting playback.
Better take it in for warranty service while it's still covered.
At least it seems unlikely that any rom/kernel combo was to blame now.
