Ok so deleting telelocation.apk doesnt realy solve any more problems then it causes so here is a fix given to me by markhuk

first you will need this file http://dphase.net/miui/telocation.db

move it to /system/etc

then in terminal do a chmod 777 /system/etc/telocation.db reboot and problem solved.

Good find. I tried this & it works so far. Hopefully that file will make it into the final release.

I've had no problems since deleting telelocation.apk. I have also installed the d1-miui mod add on and the slv1100 kernel with no problems. This is definitely the worst version of miui yet. I still love the rom though. Hopefully they start focusing on eliminating the bugs before adding features.

What command would you use to move the file to /system/etc? And are the commands as follows

su
chmod 777 /system/etc/telocation.db
reboot

While in the folder that contains the .db file:
su
mv telocation.db /system/etc/
chmod 777 /system/etc/telocation.db
reboot



Or you could get Root Explorer & move it that way & then set the permissions to 777.

What does 777 mean? I moved the file via Root Explorer, but I have no clue what to do next.

Oh sorry guess I could of said I used root explorer to move it and the 777 is its permisons you need to set do that in terminal su enter chmod 777 /system/etc/telocation.apk

As far as what problems does removing the apk cause the only one I remember is that dnd doesn't work without it. But there where other issues lol I just don't remember them.

Is that the process that the DX uses to locate where a call is coming from?

Also.. 3am? Sleep... It's a new thing. You may want to try getting some of it. :)

Lol if you look at jamezelles posts he doesn't go to sleep till around 6 or 7 am. . He's either a nightowl or is in a different time zone!

While in the terminal you need to use the "cd" command to navigate to the location you placed the .db file. I'm not sure of your skill level in using *nix commands but you may want to brush up on those if you plan on using the terminal. Become comfortable with those commands & you should be golden.

After what jamezelle said.. ya know.. not needing the file at all I would just delete the .apk & be done with it if I were you.

While in a terminal run the following commands & you should be all set..

su
rm /system/app/TelocationProvider.apk
reboot

Enjoy the sound of your phone ringing & the lack of FCs.
