I'm in Seattle, WA, but mine says I'm in Denver, CO as well. Like every time I go to craigslist, it takes me to the Denver site, same with the speedtest app. Routing problems on tmobile's end maybe?

It will do this until it locks in your actual location.
Do you have location set for network or GPS? It should find your relative location quicker with the network, but it is of course much more accurate with the GPS. If you have neither on....
If it is set at GPS, and you have not been using it much (or first time), it takes a while for the GPS to lock in your signals and location.
There is a good app called GPS Status which has built in AGPS updater - that one locks in pretty quick.

Thanks for the app. Works for me, but I have to keep it installed for SpeedTest to know I'm in Dallas so that's a little boo.

Please post questions in this section.

Same here. I'm in Seattle and my speedtest.net app reports me in Denver. Turns out, speedtest does not use GPS to locate your position. They use your IP address, which for me is a Denver, CO Tmo IP.
So how do you fix this? Don't have a clue. I called Tmo and their "Android Specialist" to me to reset the phone... seriously

They told me to do a reset which is bs whats that gonna fix? Then she told me that she found a forum on google stating there having server issues in the pac northwest. I cant find this forum

[Q] Wifi keeps "timing out." Why?

I have a very strange problem with my wifi. Whenever I use a CM6 build, my wifi alot of times will say "operation timed out" when using the internet or xda app. I have no problems at all in Sense builds. That's the weird part. I have full wifi signal, right apn's and right dns settings. I can't for the life of me figure this out. Very frustrating. Have been dealing with this for the longest time. Has anybody else experienced this, or know of a solution to fix this?

hi mattfmartin,
try maybe define a static ip address to your wifi .
i cant really think about any logical reason for that.

Yeah anything that isn't Sense it happens to. Its not a reception issue either. The wifi icon is full bars. Believe me, I've tried all build just to see. They all say after I try to load a new page "operation timed out".

I have this too. Whats your router?

Norpan it didn't get deleted. I opened up two threads. One in android general, the other is in Q&A because I wasn't getting amy replies from the other one. Do you have any suggestions my friend. I've even tried static ip with no luck. To answer your original question, it only happens to me in Non Sense builds.

Come one, come all. Hit this thread up

Dlink, but also a Linksys. It only happens to me on non sense builds. XDA etc stalls and needs a retry often... on the sense builds I've tried I have no problems.

Exact same with me. Especially using the XDA app. You would think alot more people would have thus problem.

Yeah on sense it never times out. Just on nonsense builds. Also it times out when I'm using it. Don't know what its doing in sleep. My brother has a native android, and his never does this. Were using the same router. Been dealing with this for the longest time. Even tried static ip, changing dns values. Usually I can figure stuff out on my own, but this one I can't resolve. That's why I opened the thread to see if anybody else has seen this problem before. Your right about xda app doing it alot.

Power Management Apps and Gingerbread

Has anyone been able to get Tasker or Juice Defender or SuperPower or anything similar able to control mobile data and GPS on Gingerbread? Anyone have any insight as to why these apps don't work on 2.3? I'm assuming Gingerbread handles mobile data and GPS differently than Froyo?

Because the developers for those apps haven't optimized them for Gingerbread yet. Once they update them you will be able to use them.

...and it seem there's a bug in Gingerbread permission (or they enforce them ?).
Even you put "android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE" in your manifest for your app you won't be granted this permission, then you can't enable/disable directly mobile data .
It's really annoying ! If you look at the android docs there's no info about this modification in the permission management !
Hope this will be fixed soon (or a way to bypass that discovered).
...

I figured something must be up! Perhaps someone with more knowledge than I can open up an issue with Google?

No.
The way things were before I stopped using it, you can either have WiFi broken, or 3G broken. You cannot have both working, and have the phone change between the two of them.
Battery life is horrible with it. 50% worse than touchwiz roms.
It is really not worth using until it is ready, and it is not near that level yet.

Classy.
On 10-22, WiFi would cut out every now and then.
After updating to 11-24, WiFi no longer worked, period. There was a fix zip posted in the thread, which fixed WiFi, but broke 3G.
I reflashed to touchwiz at that point, as it was clear that CM7 was not going to work for me at its current stage.
Using touchwiz, I get 2 days of battery life.
I got around 28 hours with CM7.

And to think I wondered why there is so much drama in this developer community.

I have a problem logging into my goggle account. I had it set up fine when I came to cm7 (1122 build) from Acs Ics 4, as it prompted me after a clean install to login. I have since flashed the modified wifi 1122 build over the original 1122 and advance restored Data. I have now lost my goggle account login.
When I try to open the market it asks me if I want to login, yes or no. Whichever I select it takes me back to my homescreen.
So I go to settings, account & sync, add account: it only let's me create an exchange account (not sure if this is normal). I have entered my gmail account info, but it will not accept it and login. It asks for the domain and server... not sure if I can access my google account that way or not.
I don't really want to have to do a clean install every time a new build comes out and then reinstall all my apps. Doing an advanced restore to get data back in CWM is so much quicker and easier. Is there another option or remedy to this?
Any help is appreciated.

You should have post this in Q&A section. Anyway I think it's kernel related just flash Siah kernel see if it's fix your problem but Siah kernel isn't fully compatible with this ROM yet so it will break your video recording.

Well this would make it one. This particular firmware gps problem is not related to whatever patch does, therefore it is not solved by a patch. Now if someone has idea or solution.... Doubt it anyways, and since I'm depending heavily on navigation for my work, back to lj5 patiently waiting for jkay, till next leak and next round of testing.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

I can confirm that this worked for me today:
I had just installed Omega 33, and was trying to use GPS to navigate, but was not getting a good on my location (although I seemed to have a certain amount of accuracy to my position). I turned the GPS off and on again, and what little accuracy present went away and I never got the GPS lock.
I used the app known as "Fasterfix" from the play store. It needs root privileges in order for it to modify the "GPS.conf" file.
I live in India. Hence I chose my server as Asia-> India (it sets it to in.pool.ntp.org or something like that). There was no need to reboot. After this, I was successfully able to navigate without any problems.
Try it out and let me know whether it works.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

My problem was never getting a fast lock, it was holding onto it. When I would press navigate i would drive certain distance and would notice my position is few streets behind, then would get prompt gps lost, never to return. Turn off gps toggle, turn on later, aquire lock. Rinse and repeat.

You are saying the aGPS patch works, although from what I have read it's a completely unrelated problem, please show me it worked. If there is already a fix posted you should be straight linking it with a "please use the search next time" that's a helpful post.
And do you even know the problem, have you ever looked in the leaked firmware thread, I barely see you (checking the forums multiple times every day) and when I do see you your posts are rude, with absolutely no intelligence what so ever.
