[Q] GPS Signal / DSP Manager

[gregandkelly1]

Hi Guys,

Im a noob but have been lurking here for the last few years. Have done a search and im either retarded (quite possible) or the answers arent here (not likely).

First off I have an old i897 (AT&T) with CM10 4.1.2. Love it the CM breathed new life in to my phone!

Anyway have two queries.

I found the DSP Manger effect it that comes with CM awesome - was great when using a FM transmitter for compression / bass boost etc. Anyway wasnt sold on Apollo - interfaced rocked and with DSP manager sounded great but my mp3 collection is messy at best and I use mp3 tags heavily. Have downloaded RocketPlayer Pro from the market - and really happy with that except the DSP manager doesnt seem to work with it. Any ideas on this one and how to make it work? Read the DSP manager readme and it said that it should?

Secondly - my GPS has never worked - like ever in the last 2 years of owning this phone!. The modem im using is the UGKG3 and phone reception (3g) is awesome, I also get good download speeds on my mobile network (Telecom NZ). Ive replaced GPS.conf many times and tried loads of NTP server / settings but as yet I dont think ive ever had a successful GPS connection. GPS test has been running for 10 minutes and it finds 4 sat's but doesnt lock / use any. I know the GPS is notoriously crap but shouldnt it lock eventually??

Anyway sorry if this is in the wrong spot or been covered a million times already

Thanks
Greg

Well first off, GPS is a reck on this phone lol. Some areas are better than other but only by doing some mods in the config and changing your modem can you make it a bit better.

I haven't used RockPlayer, although, you should check if there's a setting making it that it has control over your sound, if so, uncheck it and DSP manager should work again. On a side note, I duno if it is cooked into CM's kernel but Voodoo sound could be a really good alternative!
