00.008.06 liquidE rom issue

Hi guys, i have a weird issue with this rom, i've been using it for like 4 days now, but lately i've been getting random reboots, this happens when the phone freezes up out random, it shows the battery icons with a ? mark and the phone responds to volumen up and down commands but thats it, also the screen and the capacitive softkeys stop working when this happens to, and when i press the power button it restarts its self, i've alrdy wipe data+dalvik+cache and nothing the device keeps on behaving the same, im about to just re-flash the rom, from my acer s200 experience, acer phones tend to have random isolated issues to specific devices/hardware, and mostly these issues are hard to reproduce, anyways i might re-flash the oem rom today, il see if this fixes it or if its just another issue that the rom it self has, as its a beta release, any suggestions will be great appreciated.
edit: i have reflashed 10000 times it still does it, my last option would be to flash 1.6 but meh i like 2.1 better =]

hic, can u help me up rom acer liquid from 1.6 to 2.1 thanks .

It's most likely the ROM, but, still could be the kernel. I have been using the rooted kernel only, nothing else. Actually some lowmemkiller settings. I was not able to test if removing the threshold settings (I forget what the other thing was too) before I sold Liquid.

I can report bad use of the digital compass, when in navigation with google maps or (f.e.) copilot 8.
Gps receiver says that i'm going forward, but digital compass says that i'm going backward.

Stupid compass
Yes, I have the same issue in Navigation. The compass is fine in Google maps app though

JI6 GPS still has major issues

Got excited after updating to JI6 this afternoon and the GPS locked on with 10 seconds, however tonight I went on a drive and the GPS wouldn't lock on after minutes. Finally gave up and rebooted which resolved the problem.
I'm also seeing some issues with the GPS being off by 100's of feet which is causing maps to reroute. Seems like mainly when stopped at a signal light.
Hopefully rebooting solved the first issue, but I not happy that there is still problems with GPS after waiting 2 months for a fix
Also the LAG seems worse. LAG needs to be the next top priority

That's a drag man, sorry to hear that. Maybe consider installing a custom ROM? I'm running Bionix 1.4, no lagfix because I'm getting zero lag. Rooting and flashing was very quick and my phone is now very responsive.
GPS is still hit or miss, but it's mostly hit and overall is working much better.
To be honest flashing this ROM has improved my phone ten fold.
Maybe give it a try. Just a thought, and sorry again to hear about your issues.

fix: flash (clockwork) "Vibrant-JI2-GPS.zip"
ji6 gps BLOWSSSSS

enter *#3214789650# and switch to MSmode, This solved the accuracy problem for me on JI6.
I don't know why samsung insists on seting Standalone mode for the GPS, Swiching to MSmode was the first thing we did to fix the GPS months ago.

Very strange. My phone is significantly faster, even better than before with OCLF. No stuttering at all.

Bionix 1.7 is the answer to your woes

Did you **** with any of the GPS settings prior to updating?
My GPS is working great, tracking, navigation and all. Lag? What lag?
Also, why did you think this topic deserved another thread? We already have one on this topic.. thanks.

Is anyone seeing their GPS just start wondering off? I'll be setting perfectly still and the GPS will start jumping in one direction by 100+ yards each time and it'll keep going, like yesterday I ended up over 200 miles away from where I actually was. Oh and instead of being on the street it has me in parking lots and fields. Not seeing the fix on my end.

It's working like a charm for me after JI6 !!!

GPS is fine for me and even better after enabling agps
For some reason agps is disabled by default.

Can you guys tell me your exact settings on the LbsTestMode? Not just the usual ms-mode/ supl.google.com/ 7276.. I need to know all the settings you have cos I messed with mine and want it back to stock

No problem here
I must be lucky, I am using Frankin Twiz final and a simple fix and i have 5-7 sats locks and 10-15 m accuracy. From all the reading...... depending on how you customized your phone, it seems to me that you have to customize the gps fix as well, as I see no absolute fix by anyone that works for all.

GPS
I got the update. The GPS worked for awhile but now it doesn't lock in. What's the best way to solve the problem?

Yes I have the same issue. I also noticed that when at a stoplight the gps will drift which causes maps to recaculate routes.

No I did not **** with any settings, ji6 straight with no mods anywhere!
Where's the JI6 GPS thread that is reporting major GPS issues?

MS MODE helps only in decreasing the TTF/TTFF. it won't help with the accuracy issue both the OP and myself are having.

I don't see the USB icon after pluggning the cable. Anyone seeing this issue?
Preface: I was rooted with lagfix using OCLF. Prior to the OTA, I unrooted & uninstalled lagfix. My phone got locked up in Vibrant/Samsung screen during the OTA installtion like many others.
I used Odin to return the phone to stock, then download & flashed the JI6 file using Odin. GPS, compass, Task Manager, HD Camcorder, Youtube HD, Media Hub, etc are working fine ... however, no USB icon.

Has anyone else still not received this update?

People put your phone into fight mode and see how accurate GPS is after

Mine works perfectly, I am digging this update specially the new task manager. I can't wait for froyo.

disable "sensor aiding" on galaxy 3 (froyo) solves GPS cpu lag issue

Hi,
I was planning to make a new thread on the lagging behaviour of the galaxy-3 i-5800 when i found this is a know issue, but anyway i'll post it to the benefit of many people.
phone: galaxy 3 i5800, on FROYO 2.2 JPM firmware.
problem I had for long time :
My phone went to 100% cpu after "closing/ending" an application which uses gps, like g-maps,copilot,lattitide etc. It took me many weeks to pinpoint the problem, when it happened. Reason it took so long is that i found by accident, the 'remedy' , which is switching off the display and switch it on again. This interfered with the root-cause analysis , because when the screen went out automatically, the problem dissappeared :-S
"Finally" yesterday i found the root-cause of the lag.
It was "sensor aiding" in location and security setting. After disabling this setting, the lag problem is gone. This setting is new in froyo as far as i remember.
In dutch the setting is called "sensorondersteuning", which is located under "locatie en beveiliging".
So I want to spread the word to many galaxy-3 owners (i-5800/5801) to NOT use this feature (even not in the lates JPM firmware).
From yesterday, I'm a happy galaxy-3 owner again
enjoy it.

confirmed

Its a great solution but it might be great to know why this solves the GPS lag, cuz back in 2.1 this lag never happened using sensor aiding, by the way why locking screen solves this problem?

Sensor aiding
I believe froyo 2.1 did not have sensor aiding?

Thank you, this seems to have fixed my lag issues... now if only I could get GPS working reliably and fast without doing some TTFF tests for 10 minutes first

good find man.. my bro want to use gps with the phone.
copilot is the best navigation software so far. Even much better then tomtom, navigon, igo... etc.
just the best. keep up the work, if a employe from copilot ever reads that.
good work! optimize route is one of the best features.

oh, thanx man , fixed the issue .

Hmm... My sensor aiding was disabled by default.
Never had a lag problem. (JPM)

I just found back my own thread, and send a reply to it to refresh other's memory.
So keep "sensor aiding" "not"-tagged to get rid of strange lags in your phone after GPS-programs, but also facebook.
Facebook is already slow itself (big in memory) and it enables GPS at start to get your location. So facebook+sensor-aiding = looking for trouble...sooner or later.
This counts both for stock+custom froyo roms........and not for eclair btw,

GPS losing signal, heats, freezes, drains battery

I've been using HyperDroid rom for a long time and been having issues with my navigation software for a while and I'm not sure what the exact problem is.
I'm using iGO My Way and sometimes the GPS will work fine for a while and then a lot of times it loses signal after about 4 minutes and won't lock back on until I reboot the phone and restart the program.
Then at other times the phone gets hot and will just freeze.
I also noticed after these things happen it won't help turning the GPS on/off, it will keep draining the battery even if I turn it off. I always have to reboot to get everything back to normal.
So I don't know if the GPS module is bad, or if it's not a good idea to use iGO.
I haven't tried using other navigation software since I need an offline one with maps of Israel. I don't have a data plan.
I did use SportyPal many times in the past for cycling with GPS and it never froze.

Try to use Sygic for a week...with this one I doesn't had any of your issues since android was given to our leo!

Hey thanks! I gave Sygic a try and the GPS actually connects much faster and so far I didn't lose signal in the middle. Also the phone doesn't get as hot as with iGO. It only froze once, but I'll keep testing it. It's much smoother and faster than iGO though.

Well, sadly, I lose signal with Sygic also...
I don't know what the problem is :/

Sygic
i have been using Sygic from quite a while now. It does not works well with few of the ROMS.
Currently i am using American Android 2.3.7 and it works like a charm for me with it.
Which ROM are you using ?

HyperDroid 5.8.0 but seems like no one else is complaining about GPS issues.
Could be the radio version (2.15.50.14) or maybe the GPS module on my phone is defected...

chance your rom
You can change your rom bro.I think you have to
Because radio is not problem 2.15....... is very good.I am using same radio,but different rom.I havent problem with igo or sygic

Yeah but I like HyperDroid. It's fast and stable!
I'm waiting for the ICS roms to get better... then I'll probably switch.

Hello
Sorry for bumping this but I have exactly the same problem. This has nothing to do with Sygic. The problem can arise with any application that uses the GPS and fails to shut it off properly (at least that's what I understand). From the moment that this happens, the GPS doesn't work anymore, heats up the phone and drains the battery fast. The only way to get it back working is to reboot the phone. Turning the GPS off and on, doesn't change anything.
I had this problem since 2.3.7. I had found a kernel update that had fixed the problem in that version (dorimanx's kernel but I can't remember the version) but since I upgraded to ICS and now JB the problem came back. With JB it works much better but it is there. With ICS it was a nightmare. I have tried many (over 10) different ROMs and each and every one of them had the problem. This is something that has been around for ages and nobody seems to have found the real cause or a remedy. I'd love to cure it since I love my HD2 and it's the only thing that is marring its performance. Have you had any success with it?
Regards
George

i to have had this problem and i find it to be a rom problem will work ok for a hour or two then have to reboot the phone the only rom i seem to get it to work ok are the old gb light roms its about 120 deoxd

Had the same problems with most of the sensation or other sense Roms. The problem is solved since i use 4.x.x Roms as dataonsd installations. Now googlemaps works like a charm. Love the traffic info

Re: [ROM][NIGHTLY] CyanogenMod 9 for Motorola Milestone 2 (Android 4.0.4)
This is kinda sad, that I can't reply directly to the ROM thread, but here it is, I just hope someone will tell them, or see it to adress these problems correctly:
There's a couple of problems with this ROM. First of all it loses the data connection after sometime of inactivity. Browser won't load anything, asking to check the connection. Going to settings -> data usage -> mobile data switch -> turning it off and then on solves the problem, but it's kind of annoying to do that five to six times a day.
Secondly - just after flashing this ROM keyboard backlight was working fine. But after installing the gapps it stopped. Just won't work. ((
Third(ly))) - Apollo app crashes at random when trying to listen to podcast/music from sdcard. Also annoying. Disabling data connection seem to solve the issue tho as it stopped crashing yesterday.
Fourth - some sensor shanannigans when you're trying to use chrome (games are fine with it) while charging. Random zoom-ins and stuff.
Fifth - and most terrifying. Sometimes it loops, as if I was repeatedly taping the screen at the center or somewhere near it. Can't even reboot when it happens. Power button to lockscreen seem to solve the issue.
Otherwise this ROM is smooth and good and I like it a lot. Using it for a few months now.
Big thanks.

The Data connexion loss is a recuring bug for some, mostly people who have a Carrier that use roaming (ie : use another's carrier's network). No known fix for know, but some people seems to have it working "better" by disabling data roaming/national data roaming in options, but it's not for everyone, since some carriers require that to be toggled for data to work.
For the Backlight on the keyboard, be sure to check if the automatic gestion of automatic backlight is activated, it's required for it to work. There is too a "fix" for the problem in the last 5/6 pages of the main topic from memory, but don't recall it exactly, so you'll have to dig to try it.
No idea about Apollo, but it seems to have quite some quirks, and most people use other players so not sure about it, maybe start by checking the Apollo dev's page and market comments to be sure it's not related to Apollo but to the ROM.
The "random sensor shennanigans" while charging is something that happens to a lot of people, i think it's a multi touch bug from the kernel, but not sure (ie : not really solvable by the dev, unless he finds a way to remake tezet's fix (i think it was tezet) or we all use CH kernel since it seems the bug isn't there in this kernel [ wtb a way to use custom kernels :/]).
Your last problem is a weird bug, probably linked to the ROM, but i must admit it'll be hard to pinpoint, since i don't have it but my brother do, while both phones are the exact same model, and flashed the same, in the same order, with the same sbf/rom versions and so on.
I guess you can try to make a full wipe/factory reset (only backuping data you REALLY need to keep like contacts/sms/call log and so on) and redo your phone config, because as far as i know, the only difference between my phone and my brother's is that i had to did that again after i screwed up a couple times, installing an app that was bricking the phone (took me a few wipes to identify it), it might be the reason why i don't have it and he does, or not.
