Did you guys try the modified gps library? Would be interesting..
I did, but that was before i flashed the new radio(without the radio upgrade it did not work at all, even after 10 minutes or so: 0 satellites), so not sure how it was without the modified GPS library.Did you guys try the modified gps library? Would be interesting..
There is one strange thing with recent builds. I've got strong battery drainage. It looks like WiFi consume too much power from battery. This behaviour starts from build that of 5th or 7th of March. Does anyone can confirm that?
i was using 8th march build for days, then moved to 31st march build...no such issues whatsoever
Thanks for feedback; same here - never had a fast fix with CM7.2 before - now it's greatI did, but that was before i flashed the new radio(without the radio upgrade it did not work at all, even after 10 minutes or so: 0 satellites), so not sure how it was without the modified GPS library.
With the new radio and the fix in place, I had a lock in 10 seconds with GPS test app.
Thank you, guys. I think i've found the cause of the problem - it was oxidized battery contacts.

current over oxidized contacts leads to a drop in voltage on them, so the battery capacity seems to be less, than it is. And phone think that it drains faster, than it is.well i'm not sure if they cause excessive drainage...they are more likely to cause shutdowns and such power failure issues.
I don't think that there is a gold on contacts. Gold doesn't get oxidized. It's some kind of copper-nickel-smth_else alloy.be careful,every battery comes with anti corrosive golden plated contacts...after the fist time you brush the gold off, you will have to clean them (remove stain) more often
Thanks for care Look, it's not hard to compile build, even though the fact that i compile for two devices at once (Legend and Liberty). Much more exhausting to announce links to this builds in two forums (local and here). Of course i will skip some changes like today's "olympus: update fingerprint to match latest Motorola release", coz it will not add anything useful.please if it is too time consuming for you, commit new builds every few days...
not sure for the legend,but there were some batteries with golden plating over those contacts...true,gold doesn't oxidize,but contact pins on the device rub it off just a bit, enabling the contacts on the battery (which aren't golden,ofcourse) to oxidize.I don't think that there is a gold on contacts.

Just used the guide on cyanogenmod.com to install recovery on my girlfriends legend(was stock). Did not unlock the bootloader, so it's still S-on, but this ROM is working great.
At first GPS was not working(0 satellites in GPS test), but then i read that radio version radio 7.13.35.05 should "fix" GPS on cyanogenmod.
Had to downgrade CWM to version 2.5.x to be able to flash the 7.13.35.05 update.zip, but after I flashed the radio, GPS worked immediately.
The ROM seems to be working flawlessly now, great work!
Nope. May be he don't want to read XDA anymore, may be he filter out messages about GPS, coz he is tired of it, dunno...any feedback from our guru Aliba concerning your gps library patch?
Hi kot_lk,
any feedback from our guru Aliba concerning your gps library patch? I use it since our first discussion and have no negative side effects. I will definitely keep it. ;-)
