What version of CM7 do you have? RC1? It is widely known that RC1 still has many GPS issues for people. There are fixes in the thread for modifying a few files. Or you can flash to any nightly later than around build #4 (they started over at #1 after the RC1 came out) in which they fixed some GPS issues for many people.

Thanks alot man. Im really new to this is there a link for to fix the problem? Im not sure how to do the nightly because me and my friend just rooted last night for the first time.
Sorry if i sound annoying

Just flashing a newer build is probably easier than doing a fix and modifying files if youre new to this.
The latest nightlies can be found on cyanogenmod.com . HERE is the link to the G2 (HTC Vision) nightlies.
The latest is #7 right now (cm_vision_full-7.zip). Just download and put on your SD card (remember, only use the builds for "Vision", the codename for the G2). Go to ROM manger and click "Install ROM from SD card" then select the file and you're good to go. Don't forget to do a Nandroid backup first just in case it doesn't work out for you.
All these builds are is small iterations and changes baked on-top of RC1 and before the stable release. For the most part at this point their no more/less stable than RC1.

Thanks alot. Would i need i need reinstall the zip for google maps?

Nope, if you're coming from a previous version of CM7 and don't wipe data (theres no need to) you shouldn't need to reflash any Gapps.

Well i did the nightly cyn7 and still not working. I even went back to the RC1 and still not working. Idk what else to do. I was thinking of going to cyn6 since its stable?

Did you flash the nightly over RC1? Just make sure to clear the caches without wiping the data. And then flash it over.

Did you enable Google location sharing (the exact terminology of that may be off)? If you're stuck at "Waiting for location" you might need to toggle that setting.

Yea I'm hoping he did. But if he didn't that could be the issue.

go to the nightly page install #1 that is what i did and my gps is working #7 did not work for me and rc1 did not work.

I fixed it by clearing the cache then reflashing the nightly...thanks for all the help guys.

Hey guys i realize most of my apps from stock arent on my phone anymore. I was wondering how I can get these apps back. I know the google apps come back but i was just wondering if i can get the other apps back like quickoffice etc.
Also what apps do you guys rec for me to maintain my phone from running apps while phone not being use or killing apps etc. I really appreciate all the help guys.
Thanks again

If anyone still is having issues and you have Juice Defender install, uninstall it. For me it seems that Juice Defender was the issue. I noticed that Juice Defender and Gingerbread do not get along. GPS works now. I also install nightly 8 after clearing the cache.

Thanks man. Also how can i get my quick buttons back to work?

Liberated FR007

I just updated my aria to the latest 2.2 liberated Rom. I installed it this morning and now just realized it said to wipe data before I installed it. But I didn't. I just plain out installed it. It seems like its running fine. But what do I do? Do I still need to wipe data or something?
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
If it were me, I would do a backup and wipe it then re-install, but If you are not experiencing any issues, then it does not seem like you need to. If you do encounter any issues, Then definitely do it.
No need to wipe data if you are going from a liberty to liberty, if you went to liberty to cm6 then yes you would need to wipe data..

Don't think too complicated for this, if you don't have problem, then let it be.
To tell you to wipe, is to lower the chance to have problem.
It's just same as upgrading/change of different OS of you PC.
e.g. One maybe painless from XP -> Vista without format, the other maybe turns out blue screen.

Market FC!!!

I am having trouble with the Android Market force closing as soon as I open it. Last night I reinstalled CM 6.1 cause my phone became really buggy so I did it hoping it would work right again. Everything seems to be ok except the market. I cleared the data in settings but that did not help. Can someone please help me figure this out? Thanks in advance!

Can't someone please help me? I have even reset the permissions using CWM and I even installed and reinstalled with it a zip file. After all that I still get FCs. I am out of ideas! Please help!!!

Try reflashing the gapps with the older market, 10/20, I believe it is.

If he's having trouble downloading apps I'm pretty sure he's already flashed the gapps.. but to the OP what message is it giving? Not in the toolbar but when you click on the toolbar notification it should take you to the market and give you more info as to why

Hmm is it just saying download unsuccessful? No error message or anything? If so could you get a logcat for whenever you try to download?
Sent from my HTC Glaciee using XDA Premium App
well, dunno how to get a log cat, and if its something that i need to download from the market that isnt happening. ive gotten it to download "most" of my apps a few times, other times it wont download anything at all. and by most i mean right when im done flashing it will try and auto download, and even though it gets most of them for every single one it pops up on the status bar saying it didnt.
A lot of people suggest clearing market and although this didnt work for me (I didnt wait a day like rockstar did) changing gmail did so the problem must be pretty simple . something to do with market not recognising gmail account or something. Unfortunately tou cant remove gmail without reset but still good to know there is a last resort.
edit: reflashed rom to see cos even though working with new gmail "my apps" obviously gone. Anyway same prob but I then cleared cache and data reset and all now ok with original gmail.
i'm hitting the same problem
it started last night after doing a Factory Data Reset.
at first everything was going pretty smooth but then the market downloads started to hang, eventually leading to a series of "download was unsuccessful, please try again." to pop up across the top of the screen.
each attempt I get the same problem, after selecting what to download from the market, the series of notifications goes as -
POP UP "your item will be downloaded"
BUT no download icon appears
EVENTUALLY "download was unsuccessful, please try again."
I've tried clearing the Markets cache and GMails (per another thread I saw) but still didn't work
the fails seem directly linked to the locally installed market on my phone since I have success installing from the market to my phone when on a computer, also the Amazon App store doesn't seem to have this issue either.
The phone wasn't rooted prior to the factory reset (and it's still not)
phone info:
Droid X

How did you install 9.30? Manually or through updater? Some themes need to be updated to be compatible with the latest build. You should get prompted though, at least i did.
If you did it manually, what did you wipe?

It's probably not a wipe issue since it's a known issue on Sense 3.5 ROMs. However, I believe that is the only platform that has that issue. All other ROMs including earlier versions of Sense (like 3.0) don't have that bug.
Alright then. I wonder why I've never run into that. I've used 4 different sense 3.5 ROMs and use my camera everyday.

I wipe the cache and do a factory data. I actually just tried virtuous with sense 3.0 and still had the same issue. Im back on stock now cuz is the only sense ROM I can find without this issue

Unity ROM has that issue, with Sense 3.0.
You need to flash Doubleshot camera to get rid of it.

You should wipe system partition between ROM flashes. It will save lots of issues in the future. That, followed by wipe data/factory reset (on CWM). Alternatively, if you're on 4EXT there is a "format all partitions (except sd card)" option.

Well I just tried mikrunny. Wiped, flash, rebooted and than flashed the doubleshot camera but I'm still getting the flash delay I know I'm just being picky but the only reason I have a mytouch if for the flash when I go out to snap pics, otherwise I have my vibrant for my everyday phone. I just wish I could find a 3.5 ROM that doesn't have this problem, I really dislike stock espresso ROM lol

Well, teejay said its probably not a wipe issue, but as I've said before, this has never been a problem for me. Format system, wipe data/factory reset (in that order), and reflash. Formatting the system partition has saved me many an issue that others have reported.
