CM Q&A

---

As some of you have come from the captivate know what I did there with Rom Q&A threads. I am doing the same here. In an effort to clean up the site. All Rom related question shall from now on be posted in the proper Q&A or will be deleted on sight.

I feel like I'm posting incorrectly here but this thread says CM Q&A so if i am I sincerely apologize but here goes nothing...

I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 RC1. Before i installed CM7 i did a wipe of data and cache.

The google navigation app works for about 2 or 3 minutes then loses gps signal. I have to exit navigation then bring it up again and it will immediately get a gps fix then disconnect after another 2-3 minutes. I have really searched around for a fix and i'm not even sure which one to try.

Below are the threads that i have found that may fix the issue. I don't believe they will since the problem isn't getting a fix which it does. It it just losing the fix after a brief period of time.

If i use MapQuest it works flawlessly. It just really bothers me that i can't get a stock app to work...

Which one is the most viable? If non of the threads below will help can you politely point me in the right direction?

When that occurs to me, pulling down the notification toggles and toggling the gps off then on fixed the issue. the gps stays locked for the rest of the trip

This is how it works for me as well. Just toggle GPS off and back on while still in the navigation app. Should come back up and stay on from that point on.

Thanks for your responses guys...I wish there was another way rather than that. I guess it's a small inconvenience for what is my favorite rom.

Howdy. CM7 Rocks!

I have a question about the dialer. I can't seem to quick search the phonebook using the dialpad. Is this a setting I can enable, or does CM not feature that? Thanks in advance.

I definitely liked this rom but for some reason it seemed to drain my battery more than other roms. Not sure what it was but I will try it out again when they update it

I believe that isn't supported in CM7 but i'm not sure. That seemed to be in the sense based roms if I understand what you're asking

There is a way to quick search the phonebook with the stock CM7 dialer, but there's an extra keystroke involved. While the dialer is up on the screen, just press the search button on the bottom right of your phone. Then you can quick search through your contacts.

I had a issue with mytracks and GPS. It seemed to cut out frequently and when the trip was done it logged me as going almost twice as far due to zig zagging in my track.
