I can always leave the wifi on and it would connect when I get home, but the data would be connected too? then which would take lead? the stronger signal?

thanks in advance

i havent tried it myself, but i think a program called g-profile from the same guy who made g alarm might do what you need.

OMJ,Should you try this 6.5NK,I always use it to bulid my 6950's rom. It comed from 6850. You won't to recmod anymore and it will be more stable.
But with this 6.5nk have one problem: pull out the stylus can't wake up the screen. Maybe you can fix it.

the beta builds I had were when 2012 1st was ported. I have not had a beta/test rom since 2/14. the 25006 rom I posted on 2/25 had the dialer issue, so I switched to 23541 on 2/26

well our Diamonds dont have a 6.5 native kernel, but I was told the GSM Diamond does, but the NK is sluggish.

I am actually working on a GSM Diamond & purposely not using NK

is your Diamond CDMA or GSM...if I remember correctly the Diamond in China is CDMA

Regarding posts about mylocation/agps not working in the newer builds. I vaguely recall the google maps in older roms (v. 3.2.1) showing my location before a gps lock occurred. It would say accurate up to 800m or 1000m, so I think that it was guessing my position by the tower ID before GPS could kick in.

I haven't noticed this behaviour in the newer roms, and I've been meaning to flash back to one of the older 21887 roms to confirm that I wasn't just dreaming/hallucinating this. So I will report back once I get a chance to flash it!

Also I discovered something new (at least to me), when you click and drag down from the area just to the left of the icons on the top bar, it will draw a line on the screen and some options come up to rotate the screen, or open the task manager (it's some task manager I've never seen before). As far as I know I didn't install anything that would have, put this there, can anyone else please confirm this? When did this get put in?

My phone is Diamond CDMA , The attachment of 6.5NK from the Touch Pro CDMA , I use it to build my cdma diamond rom, It is working well, except of "pull out the stylus can't wake up the screen"

I use your kitchen,replace the nk.exe

Alright so I just flashed "Sense 2.5 6.5.3 28014 v1.6" and after enabling the location service, I can confirm that Google maps is behaving as I described above. When I open google maps, without enabling gps (default is off), it instantly shows my location within 1000m. The exact version is 3.2.1 (#16).

Now whether it does this because a) it's cooked into the rom, b) it's version specific, c) some other ROM issue, - I don't know. Hopefully someone can figure this out. Does anyone have a cab for Google Maps 3.2.1 (#16)? That way I could install it on the most recent ROM and see if the functionality is there (then we know it's the specific version granting us this function).


EDIT: Ok I found version 3.2.1 (#17)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...9&postcount=13

and it has the same functionality on the "Sense 2.5 6.5.3 28014 v1.6" ROM. Time to flash the current ROM.

EDIT:

Also tried Google Maps version 4.0.0 (#81) and it works in the same way on "Sense 2.5 6.5.3 28014 v1.6", so it doesn't seem to be version specific.

FINAL EDIT:

Flashed back to the most recent ROM "Sense 2.5 2012 6.5.5 23541 v1.1", enabled location service, installed Google Maps 4.0.0 (#81) to device, and it is not bringing up my location. When I click the blue dot it says "You current location is temporarily unavailable".

In conclusion, it seems that something has changed between "Sense 2.5 6.5.3 28014 v1.6" and "Sense 2.5 6.5.3 28014 v1.6" which breaks this tower-ID functionality of Google Maps.

ONE MORE FINAL EDIT:

For good measure, I also just tested version 3.2.1 (#17) on the latest ROM and it too does not do the tower-ID as it did in the older ROM.

At this point I'm passing the ball to someone else to figure out what was changed in between these ROMs, because that's an area that I'm a noob in. Cheers folks

Bob: it looks like in the upper left they hid a "Start" menu. There's a data connection icon, battery level, etc. I tried the other click and drag thing and saw the green lettering that says 90, 270 and 360. Interesting find.
BTW, I tried Max Manila 3.0 with the latest OMJ and it was so screwed up I had to uninstall it. Such a shame. All I really want is a more visible icon on Today screen that says how many Emails I have.
Also, I see on the Page 1 jpg of the quick link screen a 4 x 3 matrix, making 12 buttons. Why do I only have 6 (3 x 2) ?

It's due to the new 2012 sense and there not being a working modification for the quick links quite yet. But I believe some people are working on it.

You know, my googlemaps v4 and mylocation works just dandy in the newest build. GM doesn't lock instantly anymore, maybe 5 seconds, but it does get 10 sats. And my weather updates perfectly, even when on the road.

So does my phone, however, as I described above, the newer ROMs don't seem to be getting the location BEFORE gps kicks in.
