[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelcripes:
Hello,

I am currently in Spain for a few weeks for work. My GPS does not work at all here. I don't even see any satellites (sometimes I see 1), and it never locks. This is under completely open sky.

I have tried the s.gps.zip and the samsung restore app, as well as different modems and nothing works. Any suggestions?

I'm running Bionix Nextgen 1
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:
I believe in SGS tools there is a GPS fix option that lets you choose your region. Try that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Yeah, Pick Europe instead of the default North America.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelcripes:
Thanks. I'll give it a try.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelcripes:
Still doesn't work. Although occasionally I see up to 10 sats but it never locks.

Any idea why?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvspencer22:
Do you have data? What ROM are you running.

Mine works fine in UK
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelcripes:
Yes, i have data. I'm running bionix nextgen.

Hey, so just rooted my x10i and started doing stuff to it after 5 months of having it. So i have my home screen the way i like it but its just missing a calender, so does anyone know any good calender widgets?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Lord Takyon:
Depends how you want it to look. I like calwidget as it is basic and suits my needs.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zmbutt:
I guess, you're asking for full calendar view widget for one whole screen ?

Search for "jorte" its my favourite Calendar Application bcoz of lots customizable widgets!

and its free :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] x10i Grant:
Yeah whole screen and thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] :
For me the best is Pure Grid calendar widget, but it isn't for free.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] x10i Grant:
Thanks mate, loving it :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoot0703:
I have everything downloaded and ready to go on with the root but got the ota yesterday and I wanted to make sure that the root process hasn't changed any. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Busphan:
Jcase's root thread has been updated and you are good to go with root after the ota. I would just make sure you have the correct files as I'm not sure what changed with yesterdays thread update.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoot0703:
Ok, thank you. I will just re-download them to make sure!
[Nook Color General] nrosko:
I rooted my nook for the first time.

cm7 2.6.32 Beta 3.1 & dalingrins oc kernel

everythging works apart from i'm unable to access CyanogenMod settings.

I think i need this to oc. I get the application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again. force close

any ideas?
[Nook Color General] neozen21:
Did you install the 1.2 uBoot too?

What about the OC kernel? is it the 5/13 for 2.6.32 ?
[Nook Color General] nrosko:
Im not sure what the uboot is if im honest. the oc kernal is 5/13 2.6.32

i was unable to get into it before i installed the oc kernal so i don't think that is the problem.
[Nook Color General] nrosko:
anyone? still unable to get it working.
[Nook Color General] Kikari56:
I've been having the exact same problem. After clicking on CyanogenMod Settings, I get the error "Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I have tried three different CM7 nightlies (78,75,73) and all give the same error. No OC kernel, no uBoot.
[Nook Color General] nrosko:
looks like i've borked my system trying to fix this. I went into rom manager and chose to fix permissions. This has resulted in me getting fc on everything i do almost. I think best bet is to start from scratch. is there a guide on how to wipe everything & backup? Before i always installed over the top & i feel this is what could be causing the problem.
[Nook Color General] boxcar8028:
yeah, im no dev but it sound like it would be best to start over, and yes, you really should wipe cache before flashing. i hope this helps.

cm wiki, would be a good place to start.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Main_Page
[Nook Color General] patruns:
I get this as well. I finally got the 85 nightly working and this is the only force close that I get now. When I started, I tried nightly 87 and also loaded update-cm7-dalingrin-2.6.32-emmc-051311.zip. I have cleaned everything up and started fresh. Is it possible that kernel is still installed and I have to reinstall the .zip? I did not install the ALSA update as suggested as the link was dead.
[Nook Color General] abexman:
Same issue on nightly 97. No uboot or kernel stuff, not even sure what that stuff is lol. I did run the wipe before flashing, but maybe that failed somehow? What does the CM settings allow you to do anyway?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Themes? PhireMod? You guys have something in common you need to figure out.
[Nook Color General] abexman:
Did everyone use the instructions for flashing from the nook color portal (like me) or from the cm websites wiki which talks about the kernel and u boot?
[Nook Color General] abexman:
Bump? Anyone else on how they installed?
[Nook Color General] bigbob23:
I installed using these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030227. No issues.
[Nexus S General] sheunghko:
Hello. i am new to the android family

i have a nexus s GT-9020T

i have rooted my phone but without setting the clockworkmod reovery.

today i was playing with the rom manager and downloaded one of the rom from the list. after installation i was unable to start the phone only seeing the google logo with the unlock logo.

i went back into the recovery by typing flash recovery recovery.img etc.

run a restore and restart the phone but still not work

my nexus s is 2.3.4 by the way.

please assist :(
[Nexus S General] nxt:
What "restore" did you run?

Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056062

And download the full rom:

Model: i9020T

Full Rom: GRJ22, KD1

That'll revert your Nexus S to the latest completely stock 2.3.4

Then you can flash recovery again and go back to clockwork mod and go flash another rom or whatever.

Remember when you're flashing a new rom you need to wipe data and cache and dalvik cache.
[Nexus S General] sheunghko:
i run an restore from the backup that i made before installing the new rom using clockwork mod recovery, its part of the option when installing the rom using the rom manager * click box - backup * etc something like that
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Next time don't use Rom Manager to make backups or flash roms. It's stupid and can get you issues like you're having.

Anyways, try wiping data and cache then restoring the backup, do it in Clockwork Recovery.

Let it boot, first boot always takes a while, 5-10 minutes. If you see the boot animation freeze, stop and restart, then yeah it's screwed up, otherwise, just let it is.

If still not working from your backup, do what I said in previous reply, just restore to stock 2.3.4 then re flash clockwork mod and start over with the rom you want to flash.
[Nexus S General] sheunghko:
thank your nxt. i have found the real problem. it was not my backup problem or the rom that u provided. it was the version of my clockwork mod recovery. i was using an 2.x.x.x to restore the phone which is why it doesn't work. everything work fine now after i flashed with an 3.x.x.x and restore the phone. one question thou, where can i always find the newest clockwork mod recovery release ? thank you very much
[Nexus S General] nxt:
http://mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/recoveries/

Or just use ROM Manager to get the latest.

That's the only thing I use ROM Manager for... getting the latest Recovery.
[Nexus S General] sheunghko:
thanks again nxt. if you don't mind really ...i have one more question. i know the phone intend to uninstall clockwork mod recovery once its restarted. i know there is command type into the cmd to avoid the phone uninstall the clockworkmod reovery and make it permanent in another word. I didn't run those command when i root my phone because i don't know if its good to make it permanent like.... hmmm like if there will be a 2.3.5 coming next month..just saying ok... with a permanent unofficial recovery will cause a problem?
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Are you running custom ROM? If you are, it's already made to not revert back to stock recovery. If you leave it stock recovery you'll get notifications for firmware updates by Google, but remember that applying those to a rooted phone might screw things up too.
[Nexus S General] sheunghko:
the blue one is stock recovery right?
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Don't remember. It should only have like 3-4 options.
[Nexus S General] sheunghko:
thanks again nxt. no i am not running an custom rom. i mean not yet. i planed to try one from the rom manager download section then my phone couldn't start after installation and now i have restored my phone from my backup using the clockwork mod recovery 3.x.x.x.

I'm also trying this as well, hope this fix my problem.. Heck, my phone can't even last for 2 days at 100% battery
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
Can i use it on Stock 2.1 also or only CM?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
@tejagamer: Stock roms have not Charger Problems, don't you read on title "For Cyanogenmod" ? ;)

@Everyone: please dont spam on this thread asking "How can i do, my battery drain so fast.. bla bla bla", this should fix a bug, but if you use wifi+gps+100% brightness+music+browser, certainly it will drain fast!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] saif93:

2. /system/etc/hw_config.sh

So to which i make these changes.Pls help!!! :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Theshawty:
Dark, I just wanted to let you know that lithium-ion batteries don't feel to good with completely draining them. There have been reports of people's batteries dying because of completely discharging them. I think you should only drain it to like 1-2%.

I dunno if modern batteries have some sort of security precaution to not let it drop down to under the low-voltage threshold, but I would not completely drain my lithium-ion battery just in case.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] martiii:
Yes pls, me2 some more help would be nice ... thx
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] o2gulo:
Hey, does this fix works in minicm7? 'coz i bricked mine and had to rollback in xRecovery ^.^
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eyama:
use root explorer go to system/etc/ (pres Mount R/W on top of the right corner)press and hold on hw_cofing.sh and chose Open in text Editor and add those lines from first post.press menu and chose save&exit.

then continue with the steps by D4rKn3sSyS and thanks to him for post and thanks to Owain94 for making this ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slaxlmckagan:
Thank you very much to dark and owain... my battery is draining twice as low
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] russoleonida:

Do i have to do once a Time or more times?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] martiii:
i dont have root explorer.other prog to use!? cuz root costs ... anyway thx for ur help
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eyama:
i dont know for other program:/ but u can copy your hw_cofing.sh to sdcard and edit it with pc using word pad.when u edited copy back to system/etc and then set permissions to rw-r-r--

.........read....write....execute

user......x........x

group....x

others...x
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] VZAMaZ:
If you don't have root explorer, you can log in with adb shell, become root (su -) and type:

mount -o remount,rw /system

Yes, it's basically the same as what you're about to put in hwconfig.sh: it remounts the file system r/w.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
they are the same :rolleyes:

/etc is an shortcut to /system/etc :p

but to be sure replace it in /system/etc

Its for all the CM's around XDA....So don't be afraid....Give it a try...!!! :cool:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eyama:
well try it but before that make xrec backup if something went wrong
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
If you are making everything good, shouldn't be any bootloop, maybe problem it's on writing that lines.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Zt3v0:
Can anyone share some input on what the lines of code actually do beyond the obvious quotes of making the battery apparently last longer.

Dont call me ungratefull as I am not,it just doesnt make sense how those few lines can do what your saying.

Placebo or not?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
chmod u+s /system/bin/charger

That give u+s permissions to charger file (right permissions), If you dont know what that means, that's why you dont see the sense ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] PaulitoX77:
I have not tried it out yet.

I just did a battery stat swipe the other and just last night my battery drained to zero. Its been 12 hours and i got 88 percent left on my battery.

Sorry for this noob question but do you think a battery drain of 1 percent per hour in idle mode is alright? Or do i have to use this fix?

Really tempted to try it but i need the experts opinion if my battery drain is alright.

Really sorry for the noob question
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
If you're using CM6, or CM7, doesn't matters if you have drain or not, you should install this fix.

Cheers,

D4.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] PaulitoX77:
thank you for your quick reply.

I will try this out after draining my battery. Right now its been running idle for 12 hours with 88 percent left. I am going to drain it and take notice how long it lasts then install this fix so i can see the effect.

thanks again
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] abhi98228:
is it ok to keep charger hooked up for the whole night
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
Applying this MOD stops the LED battery charging indicator. Restoring the default hw_config.sh restores the LED charging indicator again. Anybody with same problem?

This is for Nobody's MiniCM7 v2.0.0 ROM.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
try to add the lines in the first post with root explorer and resport back about LED

it should just be working...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Imitate:
Gotta say that this is amazing in comparison to my normal battery life.. Left it on over night and wasn't even down to 90.. Thanks <3
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
resport?? what does that mean??? just saw that my led indicater tuned red as i started to charge it! maybe because it only had 4% left idk....

btw thanks for the tweak... very useful
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] PaulitoX77:
Quick question, i just installed CM6 v1.0.1

it does have an undervolt module option. Do i still need to do this fix?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Akath19:
It's not recommended to keep the charger connected overnight, that might reduce battery health and since our ROMs don't have the SE charger safety (that I know of, please don't kill me if I'm wrong) just disconnect after reaching an acceptable percentage.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
IM GONNA KILL YOU :mad:

j/k mate ;)

no it is safe to keep it overnight we got SE charger safety ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Oterwise my device... lol it should be burned :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kentwn:
after fix the text,should i turn off the phone to charge ?or not necessary..

thank you
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
No, you can just charge it ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kentwn:
thanks for ur answer:)

i just finish the charging to 100% and reboot after did the Wipe Battery Status.

but the battery drain to 96%,is it normal?

10% battery loss on the first day (30 mins music, some texting), gotta say this works, might get 3-4 days if I only use this for texting >_<

Thanks D4rk, Owain :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] PaulitoX77:
i finally got to use the fix just a while ago.

Did a back up first. battery left 15% percent before i applied the fix.

geez its been two hours and my battery seems to be stuck at 15% LOL

nah it just shows its working. Thank you very much for this fix. cant wait to drain my phone to 10 percent and charge it fully. Then will do a battery stat swipe

EDIT: Okay i did a battery swipe after full charge. Rebooted and my phone started at 95% two hours ago. It still is 95 percent. It really works! LOL Usually id have a decrease of 1 percent every hour even if idle. Thank you so much for this FIX!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
after further tests, I noticed NO perceptible battery life increasement ...

it seems not to really work here ...

w8 n' see ;-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
Hello,

Could you explain what this:

does and how would it make any difference?

Battery recalibration on the other hand does make sense when switching ROMS.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
this makes /system/bin/charger executable as a service with SUID and SUGID.

so now it runs same as in stock. seems like without the bit it couldn't run as it was supposed to.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
A 'service' doesn't need the suid bit. This only guarantees that it has got root permissions whoever user launches it.

Doesn't this run only when using the charger with the phone switched off? At this case it's already run as root hence the chmod is not needed.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] martiii:
Since then I've done this battery fix my display is no longer used in the horizontal view. only vertical ... some else with the same prob.i´m confused :(

Where should I install the code? Does it matter whether code up or down in the hw_config?

As I said, since use fix I can no longer use the horizontal format and if I turn on my phone for a second then the brightness all the way up and straight back down. nobody here has a similar problem has been the fix or any idea why is it so?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Zt3v0:
yup same here.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cluster2a:
Did you set the permissions right?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] martiii:
set this permissions!

have to set special permissions like Set UID / Set GID / Sticky !?

thx for help
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] PaulitoX77:
I just noticed that this fix does improve battery life if idle only.

Well based on my observation that it. Leaving the phone idle can give a 1 percent decrease in two hours.

But when in use it just drains normally.

Maybe its just my unit. It might probably improve when i fully drain my phone and recharge it again. Just applied this fix yesterday to check it out
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cluster2a:
Same here. Permissions are set correctly
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Well, seems to be that this fix make some troubles on mini, so im gonna tag it as Discontinued ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Xaeons:
What do you mean by 'horizontal view'? The screen doesn't auto-rotate? Or it doesn't auto-rotate in some applications? Can you please elaborate?
