[Q] GPS - Thinkpad Tablet General

First I'm from Germany an my written English is a little rusty, so excuse me for some strange grammar...
Ich have a question about GPS and CM10 0.9.2.
My Thinkpad Tablet is a European Version with UMTS. The GPS works quite well with th stock rom 4.03. GPS fix in about 1 minutes. Not so bad. With CM10 installed I doesn't get a fix even after 10 minutes. Is it possible that the GPS module is configured to the wrong antenna input? I read somewhere that the GPS uses the UMTS antenna (external input mux setting?) in the 3G model and not the internal GPS one. There mus be a reason why the CM10 GPS is really unusual, but the stock ROM is quite ok. I tested thin behaviour several times switching between stock rom an CM10 - this is reproducible.
Thanks,
Volker

No one any idea? For the GPS Antenna there is a entry in the settings menu, but only "internal" selectable. Maybe switching to "external" solves the GPS problem for the 3G version of the TPT.

AW: [Q] GPS
Can't you just copy the settings?
Cwm often reuses the proprietary drivers. So the settings from stock rom might also run on cwm.
Also:
Ckeck
/etc/gps.conf, /etc/gps/gpsconfig.xml, /etc/gps, /data/gps
If you have any of them, they must be readable by all users.

I tried to copy /etc/gps.conf from the stock rom already, but the receive strength is as poor as formerly. I'll check to copy the xml-file too. In /data/gps I've only a 0-Byte file.

Try setting permisions for /data/gps to 777.

It's now working!
The stock rom doesn't store anything except glgpsctrl (the control pipe, not a file) under /data/gps, don't ask me why.
Under CM10 I had the file gldata.sto, so I deleted everything under /data/gps and installed a modified gpsconfig.xml file from a German Forum in /etc/gps:
(Sorry I've no permission to post the URL.... www(dot)android-hilfe(dot)de/medion-lifetab-p9516-forum/224553-schwaches-gps-20(dot)html)
Now the GPS get a fix between 10s and 60s this seem almost faster than with the stock rom
Thank you!

I just tried this myself... awesome! Since the GPS is notoriously bad from what I've read I just accepted that it sucked. Not anymore

when you install a CM7 nightly then the radio isn't changed.
It install only the ROM.
Why this question about the radio version?
i thought the problem of the reboot could be the Radio...
I have EXACTLY the same problem...
Well, i'm experimenting some freezing issues with my Htc Legend on CM 7.03, when the wifi is on, i launch Android market (or something else... like trillian, a game etc..) in order to search apps or upgrade installed ones, after few swipes... : big freeze, then reboot.
i'm experimenting this problem since the first stable release.
I'm running LauncherPro Plus as Home Replacement, have S2E (for A2SD) and the 7.13 radio.
I would just know if someone else do have this issue too.
I was using Blayo before without any freezes.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
same problem here too.
I had the same with one of the nighlies (87). I had Go Launcher has homescreen replacement.
Running 7.0.3 with ADB there were no issues anymore!
will go to 7.0.3 - thanks. by the way, what does adb do to the phone whilst not plugged in?
These WiFi reboots sound similar to those in ogo2's Sense 2.3 ROM, I wonder if they're linked?
Well ogo's, rom is 97% cyanogen 7, and cyanogen 7 has had these wifi issues since they started using htc code (see post in dev section).
partial work-around
well, going back to the latest stable version of cyanogenmod (7.0.3 at this time...even though i will miss the better responsiveness of adw in the newer nightlies) and using wifi fixer is a partial work-around to this problem for m.
Hello.
Could you please tel me where can I download diferent versions of radio for the Legend?
Have almost 0% of wifi and mobile coverage after installing CM 7.03.
Thanks!

The GPS works with Trigger, but doesn't work on the stock rom you are asking?
You could try to install CM7, and apply the GPS fix through that, people are getting locks in less than 30 seconds. I myself am I one of them.
You should change the thread title before mods do
Install the latest Miui first, and then install the Glitch kernel. GPS is working great with this setup.

OK i do it and all perfect except..
when i replece de GPSD file, y reboot my phone and.. GPS do not work again!
the GPS indicator has gone and i do not find anything!
i know how repair it!! and back to the state before, but..
what do you think??
Ok do me a favor and use either Root Explorer or ES File Explorer. Go to your root folder, then go to /vendor/bin/ and long press the GPSD file. Then hit properties. On ES File Explorer the file should show up as 554.11kb in size, and in Root Explorer the size should be 567412.
If it is not, then you have the wrong file.
Also, are you using AngryGPS as well?

Hi, why don't you try CM9.1? It's a pretty solid build IMO, the rear camera works, just don't tap and hold to focus or it will crash. Regarding browser issue, try to use Maxthon or Dolphin browser, i personally use them.

Hey
I have just installed the SAPIR CM10 KANG nightly build dated 6th Sept.
As above the rear camera crashes and if you mess about with the keyboard settings from the pull down menu it crashes too.
Other than that, so far, it is very very good. I don't know about battery life yet.
I tried the CM 10 Unofficial erezak ROM dated 3rd Sept but it would only do voice input, no option for keyboard.
The SAPIR build with Apex Launcher is running very well.
It didn't rebuild my apps and data, I came from AOKP build 38 pre MTD.
When I initially installed the erezak ROM and it updated CWM it went into a bootloop. Hard reset. Boot into Recovery and start again sorted it out. It took two full wipes and installs to get over another endless boot situation. It was the same with the SAPIR build too.
All in all I'm very excited to have a JB device to play with. My i9300 is begging to be updated but I don't really want to install CM or a leaked build just yet....
Good luck!
Hamish
You should get the Sept 11 build of ezerak, camera is fully functional now, no crashes whatsoever... Regarding keyboard from pull down menu, never had any problem with it. I use SwiftKey 3, hacker keyboard, IDE keyboard.

[ROM] Shenqi V4.1 CM7

Hey Guys,
I have worked on fixing certain issues with Shenqi V4.1,Like calendar and few other. I think its a very stable ROM, have been using it for over 3 weeks. I would like to post it for you. I am no developer/Hack expert, just a curious noob. I fixed very few issues and the ROM is pretty good. Thanks a lot for Shenqi to the original developer Yicong Huang and also mchlbenner for constantly trying to provide us with the best.
Features
1)Camera and Video (native)
2)Sensors and compass
3) FM
5) Everything that the phone supports.
Drawbacks
1)Lacks proper memory management (only when you open too many apps), could be over clocked to 1Ghz though for better performance.
2)No keyboard included. Please keep a keyboard app handy.
3)No link2sd
Instructions:
1) Create a folder called nandroid on SD-card and put it inside. If you already do just copy the downloaded files inside.
2) 3 Wipes before and after.

Fixing radio problems on your JB rom on i9000

Hi, my name is Steven
I run C-Rom's JB on my SGS I9000 and loving it.
There's just 1 little problem with all the JB roms i've flashed
There is no way to get a fm radio working (not a radio via stream but via my fm thing in the phone + earphones)
I've been looking every where for a stock jb radio apk or something like that.
I tried the SpiritFM radio, but it didn't work (no sound or anything)
THEN, i found something on a forum.
It said that you have to go to kernel app, in this case semaphore.apk
scroll down and check the box of "Radio FM - load radio FM (si 4709)
After having done that, the spiritfm radio still didn't work.
Ok so far, no progress.
I went trying stuff to get it working and i got it.
Here's what you do
- Open SpiritFM radio
- Push the option button on your phone (you'll get a pop-up menu)
- Go to "Setting"
- Go to Band, and select your country (or continent or w/e)
- Go back to "Setting"
- Go to "Debug
- Go to "FM Chip"
- Select your chip (instead of automatic)
------- If you don't know your chip, just try EVERYTHING (restart app after changing Chip)
------- Mine was "Sam SiLabs (Gal S+)"
And SJABANG!! you have radio.
(At least... I did)
Now.. i do not know if the semaphore setting change has anything to do with the radio working, but it won't kill you to try
I hope this will help people with the same problem.
I have included "semaphore.apk" and "SpiritFM radio unlocked"
I wanted to add a link but i'll just add the file instead (xda wont let me do a link yet)
Please post if you have anything to say.

It really works! It's great!
The only thing I've changed in settings is the "Band" according to area where I use it. Also it needs to have superuser permission granted.
It's the only FM app I've seen yet working on CM10.0 :thumbup:
