Hello,
I've been flashing for a long time and currently I'm running Bionix 1.2. I've got 2 major problems and I have a workaround for each; however I thought the community might know better than me.
The first one is about the signal bars and dropped calls. I live in an area (Maine) where you never experience a dropped call since there aren't many people living. At least with my old MyTouch and stock Vibrant, I never had one. So almost once a day I drop call and see the all the signals gone. Sometimes, I see signals but there is no data or GSM connection since I cannot login to GTalk and other services (FB, twitter, etc.). I read in the development section that turning flight mode on/off can help. Well for me, it sometimes helps, sometimes doesn't. I find myself rebooting to solve the problem at least. I am a little concerned since I might need my cell in case of an emergency and I definitely would not want to wait for a reboot to call 911.
The second one is about the GPS. If I open navigation and ask for turn-by-turn directions, almost every time, it gets stuck searching for GPS. The workaround for me is to launch Maps, wait a few minutes to locate my location; then ask for directions. Although, this might not work from time to time. Again, in the middle of nowhere, you are driving and need a quick and dirty turn-by-turn directions and your smart Vibrant makes you go thru a lot of hassle to accomplish your task.
Any advice from our community?
Thank you!
Flash to stock, call t mobile and tell them your gps is non functional even after the froyo update, and get an exchange. My gps works INSTANTLY. Cold. I type my destination in Navigation and when I press enter my navigation is already talking. No maps, no 10 minutes, no downloads, we all know these are often placebos and we are still waiting and waiting for a signal which can still go off road randomly, etc. none of that with a new phone.
I did not try the physical gps fix in the forums but that could work too. Your gps still not be fixed by software, its a hardware problem. It seems phones manufactured after October (?) do not have the gps issue. Worth the hassle for me, at no cost if you do it for the gps issues and there is no physical damage to your phone. Just make sure you flash back to stock before you call because they will ask you to go through your system information on the line. Back up EVERYTHING and put it on a computer, get your exchange and flash back to your favorite rom and enjoy your now fully functional Vibrant that works in every way you bought it to work. And make sure you not only factory reset before you send the old one in, but also delete anything incriminating on your internal sd because a factory reset won't do it.

Don't blame the rom...Your hardware sucks.
Been running TW roms since the Bionix 1.0 days and NEVER had any issues.
Those problems are not inherent to TW roms, it's a problem with the phone.
@TheSneakerWhore, @deadpass:
OK - it might the hardware, but how do you explain no dropping calls on stock 2.1? I've used on stock for at least couple months and never had to reboot my phone because it did not have signals (or had signals but no connection).
I also flash Axura roms and never have a similar issue but they are too customized for me.
PS: I am not trying to blame the TW roms specifically nor am I defending another rom. Actually, if you open the latest Development thread, you will see my post thanking those guys because of an excellent job they've done. I am just not happy with the data and GPS - which I never had an issue before starting flashing TW and thinking others might be experiencing the same.
Strangely my GPS and cell signals seem stronger on TW ROMs than most others... It might be just slightly different hardware (not all units are created 100% equal after all) reacting differently to the software?
Have you perhaps tried Trigger v1.5? I thought the theming was very tasteful, you may like it, and it seemed pretty solid on GPS and signals.
Thanks, @Oxirane. I will give it a try.
I would try out different modems. For instance jl5 and kb1 great with gps in my case. jfd, ji6, ka5-7 all were teh suck when it came to gps. It all depends on your phone and location too. So flash away and find whats right for you.

I lol'd @ this "I live in an area (Maine) where you never experience a dropped call since there aren't many people living."
I'm with the OP on the drop call and inconsistent data issue. By all means, I have flashed almost every ROM out there. Every single ROM on here is awesome and all respects to the devs. I'm currently on Bionix 1.2 now for the third time and what I have and still noticed is the inconsistent data drop 2-3 times a day. No biggie since I managed to turn airplane off and back on and everything's back to normal. At first I thought it was KB1 that's causing this so I decided to try out different modems/kernals. After playing around a bit, I decided to stay with KA6 for a few days and noticed data improvement but still inconsistent (loss data connection). I also flashed the ROMs (Axura and Einherjar) and I don't have the data loss. I also flashed all the way back to Nero 5 just to check it out. I do not have any data problems with Nero 5. Anyways, I don't really mind every now and then switching air plane mode off/on. However, the issue as mentioned by OP does exist on some phones.
I'm running Bionix V 1.2, and the last 4 ROM's before this were all also TW ROMs.
I have not experienced a single one of your issues. My phone is fast, smooth, and have excellent signal and data everywhere around my area.
I doubt it is the ROM, but I'm no expert and cant say that for a definite.
But if myself along as many others , including a few buddies of mine, don't see those issues it just seems unlikely to be the ROM.
But who knows....
Well im guessing its the change of modems that's causing your issues... im sure it has nothing to do with the rom espeically since you never had issues supposedly when using Axura (since axura is based on bionix). Almost all the roms on here are based on TW roms, just change modems, theme, add a few random options, from what i've seen in the code. Like other suggested tryin flashing different modems and find the one that works best for your area. I've been running Bionix V 1.2 since day one and have not experienced any of the issues you have describbed...

I know your not trying to act up or anything, but thats kind of just mean.
I mean these devs are helping us by giving us more options.
Most of them aren't based on TW.
some are, most aren't.
but your saying "almost all the rom on here are based on TW Roms, just change modems, theme, add a few random options"
I'd like to see YOU edit the modem and theme and add a few random options and make a ROM. go ahead.
I can say that TW is also just editing a few codes and theming on a ROM that Samsung made, and that they aren't developers.
TW set a standard, a precedent, and people will follow it, but they aren't copying it.
not complaining at all to any ROMs. just throwing out my input to let the OP knows that he's not alone in this world. To me, if there's a way around the problem, the problem is minor. Besides, I flashed and used different ROMs like changing diapers. LOL. I like to keep my Vibrant looked different every 2-3 wks. Pretty soon, we'll see a flow of new ROMs and I be all over every single one of them like "flies on sh!t". Dang, haven't used that expression in a long time. LOL

there is not "editing of modems" its changing modems... and theming is nothing more then changing pngs and .9s and edit xmls... its not very difficult... time consuming but not difficult. as far as what TW does to their roms in decompiling smalis and editing the Java, i've personally only seen a handful tru developers here actually doing it to what samsung has leaked. MOST of these so called roms have taken the edits that TW has done and just dropped their own changes on top of them. This has been proven time and time again! but regardless you are entitled to youre own opinions.
My point is that Axura IS based on TW's edit so if the issues persist in TW rom but not in Axura, one of the causes would most likely be due to the modem cuz im 99% sure that several Axura roms use different modems.... that is all i was trying to say.
One thing I have not seen in any of the posts that are having the issue is what modem you are using.
I will say it now, KB1 modem sucks monkey balls. I haven't had any dropped calls on it, but have stale connections all the time. What I mean by that is, my phone is sending data packets, but isn't receiving any for a good 30 seconds.
So, try a different modem. KA5 seems to be the best modem for signal and battery life.

THX Krylon360. To be perfectly honest, I tried different ROMs and modems and noticed some significant improvements. I totally agree that KA5 and KA6 are better for me in terms of signal hence KA6 is what I stick with as mentioned in my previous response.
surprisingly, these problems can come up from odd combos of apps or some configuration that is unique........ Lucky you
I had some phone disconnects on my phone when it was on a TW and Eugene kernel, but it was a custom mms I installed that caused the issue..... so you might look at what you got on your phone as well. Remember, some of the app developers did not or do not update their apps and this may cause an issue especially running a 2.2 platform (especially a ported 2.2 platform) if they are older apps. Food for thought
I was having the same issues with 1.2. dropped calls, no data, constantly switching from edge to 3g, etc. had no issues with nero. As everyone said, try a different modem. Worked for me.

Thanks everyone! krylon360, I should have mentioned the modem I've been using: KA5. So, it's weird how you and some others find KA5 and KA6 to work best and I had all these problems with it. Maybe it really is a unique combination of apps, configuration etc.
Last night I flashed KB1 and will give it a try for a few days. I tried GPS on my way to home; opened Navigation and entered directions, and I got instant lock. I see that as an improvement. Will follow closely. Thanks again!

There's nothing wrong with the roms i been flashing since i got my vibrant once flashing do you wait the initial 10 mins and then reboot before you start using your phone? if not you may want to try that. TW roms are pretty much flawless.
Okay so the thing is my HD2 is not picking up locations (FourSquare, Maps,Yelp, etc..) unless Wi-Fi is on. I tried with GPS on as well and it didn't work either. It began happening a few days ago while running HyperDroidGBX, although I doubt it's because of it since I've been running HyperDroid since v.7 and locations worked excellent.
I also installed a few different ROMS to make sure, locations didn't work on any of them either. Instantaneous GPS fix had no effect. I tried different Radios as well, but no luck. After a few hours of trail and error, I finally decided to revert back to the dreaded WinMo 6.5 to check if it could detect my location without using Wi-Fi, and whaa-laaa, it did. But that's the point because I don't want to use WinMo.
Afterwards, I decided to re-install Android, and I did so thoroughly and careful. Even used TASK 29. Once I did so and got back to HyperDroid, no luck, still no locations. I know it doesn't have to anything to do with the ROMS, and I'm pretty sure MAGLDR and CWM don't have anything to do with the network locations. I tried 4 different Radios, if none of them worked I doubt any other would.
So in conclusion, if anyone has any suggestions on something I could try I would be more than grateful.
P.S.: I am looking at the bright side as well, at least now I get less battery drainage.
Hi there
I Have recently flashed the honeyvillain 3.7 kernel to my A501 running Taboonays ROM 2.2 with great success, i had my tablet running at 1.2GHZ most of the time which was lovely, after about a week though, it would freeze entirely when using any internet connectivity, wifi and mobile data. e.g running the web browser or skype calling would result in a crash after an undefined amount of time 100% everytime. everything else on the tablet works fine, nothing else is unusual at all except this freezing during internet usage. I was wondering if anyone else had run into a similar problem and if they had would they please be able to help me find a solution?
Much appreciated guys! Thankyou!

Sure you don't just have the wifi drop out, that will do the freeze.
Easy solution would be to reformat and reload your rom. Pain in the a, I know lol. But unless you find another solution it'll be what youll have to end up doing. You could actually just try reformatting your data, not system, and that may or may not fix it. You could also try flashing another kernel.
Just throwing out ideas BTW .
Reflashing the rom and/or kernel, will have no effect. The problem will still remain.
I've been chasing this issue for some time, and as near as I can tell, the internal 3g is very sensitive to "cooked" kernels. More than likely due to voltage modifications to the board and also processor. The modifications are done to increase battery life for overclocking. It's a very fine line.
Unfortunately, it doesn't effect "all" 501's, and this may be in part due to certain revisions on the internal hardware during manufacturing. Sort of hit and miss.
However, after flashing every 501 rom and kernel combination, I have settled on this solution.
For Rom, Harkon. It's the least cooked I believe.
For kernel, you can use what comes with Harkon, or Thors 3.9r3 kernel.
But, the catch, is that you have to leave your wifi on when out and about town. Don't ask why, but after I left the setting ON, the problem went away for almost 4 weeks now. You still get 3g when a wifi connection is not available, and a small loss in battery power, but at least you shouldn't get the screen freeze, or the "sleep of death" (won't wake up and have to do a hard boot).
Hope it works for you.
Sounds like you need to reflash, i was having the same issue when watching youtube on Thors rom, I relashed and it worked just fine.
Hello all,
I've finally decided to take this problem to the entire forum.
I am a rom-crack addict and have successfully installed dozens of roms on all my devices. But i'm having trouble with the GPS on both of my TF101's.
Every rom i've tried works perfectly except for the GPS.
I can only get GPS working with a stock install + stock kernel (9.2.1.24 & 27).
I've got my TF101 installed on my car dash and really need GPS.
I've tried EVERY rom available and tried all types of fixes. here's what i've tried:
- tried these roms: CM9, CM10, EOS2, EOS3, megatron, revolver, AOSP, AOKP, Revolution HD, etc.
- tried Clockworkmod & TWRP....format system, wipe system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik prior to every rom install.
- used the kernel that comes with the roms.
- installed .24 or .27 kernel's over the roms (no gps unless i revert from rom to stock with these kernels)
- tried Guvenors kernels (all versions),
- installed AGPS flash fix (mount system, install) (even modified build.prop with GPS settings...although i didn't see any of the modified code lines that AGPS was supposed to install in build.prop.)
- let the rom settle for 1 hour each time i install
- tried the regional reset app available on the market
- tried to get satellite fix indoors and outdoors
I haven't tried these:
- snort salt and throw the lime over my left shoulder (can't find limes b/c out of season)
- trade up for a Galaxy Tab
Logically, if none of the roms work on my tf101, then there's something wrong with my tf101.
but i have 2 tf101's. no luck on both.
and i can get great GPS on stock 9.1.2.24 & 27.
thinking of getting an external bluetooth gps receiver, but don't want to spend another $100.
not having a rom on my tf101 sucks almost as bad as having an ipad.
can anyone dig deep and help me solve this problem?
thank you, thank you.
I have the exact same problem. I haven't resorted to stock, but I have tried many, many roms. No GPS love for me, either.

I have heard this before from some peoples, no GPS with any custom ROM. GPS work for me on all ROM I've tried. Currently on Megatron with Guevors v21.5. The kernel that's been modified by ricardopvz.
Have toy tried the app "Faster Sat Fixes"?
I had good GPS on stock, OK on ARHD and Revolver ( faster fix helped with these ) and nothing no matter what I do with my ASOP JB ROM I'm currently on.

Yes, i've tried faster sat fixes. believe that just speeds up the satellite aquisition. i've left my tf101 searching for sats for 24 hours inside and 4 hours outside on my deck. both with fast fix and without.
since stock works perfectly on both of my tf101's, it must be the rom or kernel.
i've literally made a variables matrix of my attempts...it's 3 pages long. i've tried every combination of installation proceedures, rom types, kernal types, app fixes, build.prop modifications, etc. IE: a+b, a+c, a+d, a+e, a+f - b+c, b+d, b+e, b+f - c+d, c+e, etc.
there must be some coding variable that is missing or not correct in all the tf101 roms. something variable that some pads like and some don't.
I used "1-Click Transformer Root_1.1" (says it uses the Niloj TF300 Exploit) to root my tf101's.
could that introduce a variable that the rom's/kernel's don't like?
Had the same problem with all custom roms I tried so far, till an hour ago. I am using latest eos with kat 1.0.1 and no matter what I tried i couldn't make it to fix position. With gps essential it could see 4 to 5 sats but no fix. I tried gpsfix and fastfix as well with no luck. Then I accidentally left the tablet at my balcony with gpsfix left opened and left the house. I when I came back after an hour I think, I had a fix with 6 sats. From that time I had rebooted several times, turn on/off gps several times and I always get a fix within seconds with a-gps turned off. I also got the tablet to another location (where I'm right now). Turned on the tab, and in 10 secs I got a fix. I hope it's solved. So my suggestion, give it some time for the first fix.

thanks, ark...i'll give it a try in a few hours...busy now.
if you'd have told me to hold the tf101 in my left hand and throw a dead cat over my right shoulder...i would have tried it.
will let you know.
thanks for the effort.
nope...no joy.
it is certainly recognizing more satellites, but i've only achieved lock briefly a few times. no where close to being "useable".
Unfortunately I'll have to agree.it's unusable. I tried it in the car and it couldn't keep the fix.

Success!!! Yes, yes!
although it took another hunderd dollars, but i acheive full lock (hehe..) in seconds.
i bought the Universal Bluetooth GPS receiver by Dual, followed the instructions, paired it with my tf101, allowed 'mock locations' in system settings, downloaded "Bluetooth GPS" app from store, made 2 app setting changes, and.....voila!...GPS lock instantaneously.
Tried this on ICS Megatron & Revolver - JellyBean TeamEOS nightlies. all works fine!
yea, it's another $100, but it now makes my $1000 tablet useful.
hope this helps others.
Well, my situation improved. I used the ARHD superwipe-full script, then formatted each partition a second time for good measure. I flashed CM9.1.0 just to check CM's progress. I can at least see satellites now (nothing before), but it would be pointless to try and navigate this way since it doesn't lock very long. GPS-Status shows 5-6 satellites, locking on and off after 20-30 seconds of searching, and sometimes dropping out. When I was on stock HC and stock ICS, it would lock startlingly fast, with 10-12 satellites within 5-10 seconds.

I followed what you did and got the same results.
i would really like to return the external bluetooth gps receiver and use the one i paid for in the tf101.
I am at a loss as to what to try next. i have tried everything.
hopefully someone will stumble across this thread and post a solution.
Buehler?

Not much chatter on the CM threads about it either. I just set mine up in my car too and I really need that GPS too. Hopefully a fix can be found soon!
The only time I get any kind of location lock is when I'm connected to WiFi. Not good enough.
I'm a pain in the ass and I don't want to go back to stock because everything else in CM10 is working so nicely!

try the external bluetooth gps receiver made by Dual. it works with my tf101 perfectly...locks in 1-2 seconds. USB powered for your car.
it's $100 but chances are you've spent quite a bit installing it to this point...what's another hunday?
with all the developers do when they write these roms, you'd think someone could solve this in 10minutes.
maybe someone will think of something or devote some time to solving.
Same problem.- wish there was a fix.

The trick for me, whether on stock iCS or custom ICS, JB, has been to take a stock ROM, extract it to directory, blobunpack it, if necessary, and do the same with whatever custom ROM you want to use. You have to get to the ramdisk, where you can change the gps related settings in init.ventana.rc to match the same user and group and permissions as in the stock ROM. On JB, I compared to the TF300T JB firmware and made a merge of the settings there with the stock ICS settings. Also, use the /etc/gps.conf from stock ICS, where there is only 1 line setting an NTP server. Asus seems to have gotten the gps right on stock firmware. Works like a charm for me. After the changes, you just repack the kernel and ramdisk, blobpack it back to a blob and recompress it with the 2 original folders and reflash and you will have working gps, barring broken hardware, of course. If you are on a stock based ICS ROM, you should be able to flash one of appropriate stock ICS kernels I have posted elsewhere in the development forum and achieve the same thing, although you will still have to manually make /etc/gps.conf match the stock setting.
I did this process earlier with K900's Jelly Bean AOKP ROM and now gps is working like a charm. It worked somewhat before, just very slowly and couldn't hold a fix very well. The first time takes a few minutes, but after that, I see 8 to 10 sats and get a fix in seconds, sometimes fixed to 8 at a time.

SidneyK,
many thanks for your input!!! so there may be a chance?!
I'm a dedicated crackflasher, but have never compiled, blobunpacked, etc.
I know it's alot to ask, but could you possibly post a detailed process? what apps to use, exactly what steps, etc.
I've had many, many PM's from members who are suffering this.
No rush, we're patient for news like this.
tell me how to buy you a beer and it's done!
many thanks in advance.

Well, I don't use PayPal, so don't worry about the beer. My wife had a PayPal account she hadn't used for years and it got hacked, so I don't trust them. When I get time, I'll try to put something together with the relevant links to threads with the supporting tools and a run through. It's kind of convoluted since everything isn't all in one place, but once you understand how the different pieces go together, then it makes sense. Mostly just remembering to do each part in the right order. Once you have the tools though, you'll see that you can make other changes like this or even further customize any ROM yourself the way you want it or to experiment with things.

When I get time, I'll try to put something together with the relevant links to threads with the supporting tools and a run through. It's kind of convoluted since everything isn't all in one place, but once you understand how the different pieces go together, then it makes sense. Mostly just remembering to do each part in the right order. Once you have the tools though, you'll see that you can make other changes like this or even further customize any ROM yourself the way you want it or to experiment with things.

Very much apprecieated.
just by your brief overview, it seemed logical. but i'm sure there are many nuances that go with it.
i'm also a cracktinkerer and can't wait to really see how rom's tick.
whenever you can post it, you'll gain even more fans.
thanks again.
Hello guys, i'm getting crazy about this because, after trying a lot of custom and some official roms i keep having this problem: when bluetooth is active wifi is slow and become useless many times, not every times tho, which makes me even more confused but i'm pretty sure i've made a right diagnose of the problem and it's BT and Wifi interfering...
It's logical to think this must be a hardware issue, specially if you havent experienced it, and i might even try it in another p8 i have (i havent tried yet because it needs a new screen)
As a user i just can't live without bluetooth, maybe some of you didnt noticed it but you also have this issue... i'm just almost all day using bluetooth audio.
In case you experienced this problem, can you suggest any solution ? i'm sure this has to be a repeated problem in many devices due to the similar frequency range BT and Wifi operates (congratulations to the ones who decided to make this standards this way)
In the moment i think every custom rom i tried had some little imperfection or issue and, right now my choice is EMUi 4.1, for me the most valuable thing is the feeling of the OS, the stability, fluidity, consistence, elegance of the interface, and i can have all that with this firmware despite this f***** problem which is a total red line for me. Of course i'd root and customize EMUI a little bit...
BTW... i seem to worried for a 7 years old phone that i just love to have in my hand but its supposed to be just a spare phone while my main one waits for a fix... well yes, i got excited, and frustrated, and excited again... but i guess i will have to accept this dramatic situation and fix my new phone asap.
Suggestion of any custom rom or general solution for this ? thank you guys
