GPS and Profile Settings
 

Hello everyone,

I don't know if your experiencing these issues or not but i would like to get some feedback as to whether or not i am the only one with these issues.

1. GPS - i recently upgraded from DCD's 2.2.2 to 2.2.6 and now my GPS isn't working. The settings are all correct (com port 4, baud rate 4800 etc). For instance last night I knew i was going to take a 20 min drive and I wanted to see the phone track me on the map. So first i opened GoogleMaps and started it. well 15 mins into the trip it still hadn't locked in on my position. so i then tried Sprint Telenav ( i have a dealer line so it's included) and it eventually said finding gps 100% but right after it said GPS signal too weak. WTF, it used to work in the same spots. so i don't get. When I used to use blackberry's for nextel (7520, 7100i) I never had to do this "cold boot" thing. it was almost instant in finding your location.

so if you have any suggestions that would be great.

2. My profile ringer keeps on changing. I am in school so about 99% of the time i leave my phone on vibrate. well I was running the HTC Home and would lock the phone. soon after i would go to check something and notice the ringer would change from vibrate to either Loud or Silent. So i uninstalled HTC Home thinking that was the problem. it wasn't. I still have this problem. it makes it very frustrating because if i'm in class and my phone goes off then i've interupted the professor and they don't like that.

Thanks for the help

any answers?

What other applications do you have installed?

I know SPB Phone Suite has a profiles option that is set to automatically change upon bluetooth headset sync and then change back to normal 40% system volume.

A2dp bt hack
google maps
sprint telenav
ms livesearch
Flash video bundle
ms voice cmd
roboform
resco file explorer
resco regedit


that's about it. I just want to be able to leave my phone on vibrate all day long. I do have a plantronics bt headset (665a) connected just about all day long.

Have you done a Hard Reset ever since you've installed the new ROM?

Im experiencing same GPS issues with DCD 2.2.6 and No2Chem's latest build. Neither work with google maps and I cant even get livesearch to even try to interact with my gps.
Added: Currently on No2Chem fresh install with only google maps installed, still no luck.

Regarding the sound changes - I use the HTC Home plugin with the selectable profiles of Normal (all sounds), Silent (no sounds), vibrate (obvious) and Automatic (sounds except when you have appointments scheduled) - and dcd's 2.2.3. I don't know if I had this problem with the stock ROM, but, when I am in vibrate mode, and then add or modify a calendar appointment manually on my device - the sound kicks on. The profile selector in the Home plugin still shows its in vibrate mode, but the speaker icon is now showing at the top bar - and sound moste definitely is turned back on.
