When i get an IM I get a notification but cant open that either. I just dloaded the apk Deck posted, I will let you know how far i get with it...
Edit: Due to lack of patience I just flashed cm7 gapps. had to reinstall gmail/maps/streetview, but all seems well now...

My battery life isn't horrible, but it was quite a bit better on OMJ's Froyo ROM. I had issues with WiMAX and tethering also, but it seemed to work after reboot. Got decent 4g speeds and streamed 720p video on my TV with no issues.

Is there a way to enable WiMAX on boot? I use it a lot, so I'd rather not have to enable it every time I reboot. Thanks!

How do I get my home screen to rotate into landscape?

Looking forward to rc4.

RC4 is what im waiting for as well.

i only got 8hrs battery life today, and the phone was idle from 7-10 this morning so i ahve no idea whats going on. then again, i have never had good battery life witht his phone....just surely hoping theres some way to get it.

First off - Deck, the rc3 rom is awesome. No bugs so far for me. Loving the gingerbread and battery life.

I have a question about the GPS issue. When I flashed Deck's Gingerbread rc3 I also flashed the gapps in the OP - just as was listed, both flashed from Recovery before rebooting. Now, after reading the post again, maybe I shouldn't have done this since my GPS was working fine in the ROM I was coming from (MikFroyo 4.5). Anyway, when I flashed Deck's Gingerbread rc3 my GPS would not lock - could not get accuracy within more than 700 meters in google maps. I followed the directions on the OP - flashed back to the MikFroyo (which is sense-based) and followed the steps to a T but noticed the GPS lock issue wasn't fixed. Thought maybe you have to flash to gingerbread before it would be resolved but after flashing Deck's Gingerbread rc3 the issue still wasn't resolved.

When I first rooted my phone I made a nandoid backup that I restored (to see if that would resolve the GPS issue) but that didn't work either.

So my questions are really:

1. How can I get back to a working GPS?
2. Once I do, how do I carry that forward to Deck's (or other Gingerbread, since I think it is an incompatibility with Froyo and Gingerbread GPS's) gingerbread rom?

Thanks for any help or insight you guys can provide.

the piece that its usually missed with the gps fix is to make sure you get a lock after the reboot, and leave gps enabled while you flash/nandroid back to gingerbread...

worked for me.

I have the same issues after I did the GPS fix. The issue isn't the lock, rather when you are using maps, bing, etc it disengages after the lock. I found this to be an issue with all the different GB roms I have used including CM7.

I currently use an app called GpsFix (freeware) which i downloaded from the market. you can set the lock up to the timeout up to 15 mins. GPS on constant lock will drain battery but at least it works.

Great Rom, except I still have the GPS and Voicemail issues. I did exactly as you said in your 1st post but neither worked, any suggestions? I really would love to use this Rom but need GPS and Voicemail. Thanks in advance.
