I had exactly the issue you just described last weekend and it was in central London too. I had to turn off the satnav. I tried google map, Sygic, Navigon with the same result, so it wan't because of the navigation software. I had to turn off and on the navigation software to get a gps fix but will be lost after few minutes.

It works well after leaving central London, I can't explain the cause.
[Desire HD Android Development] EmptyArea:
I've a suspicion all the dhds suffer from a poor quality GPS antenna. To see if yours is on its way out, run a gps test app, stand outside and see how many sats it finds. Then press & hold hard on the flash section (don't break your screen) and see if you get many more hits.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
i rember that something similar happened to me 3 weeks ago. but i thought it was due to the bad rainy and cloudy weather. but at that time i was on leedroid. maybe there is indeed somoething with the antenne.

i already did once the hardware fix by tweaking the contacts of the antenna. but maybe i have to do this again.

Some EXT4 optimizations

Does your Rom based on EXT4 or only optimizations?

Some EXT4 optimizations

Basiert dein Rom komplett auf EXT 4 oder nur Optimierungen?
[Desire HD Android Development] emx_o:
my music player FCs after 1hour of playback and remains dead even if i restart the phone. reflashing rom works. other music players (winamp, ubermusic) working fine.
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
Similar issue also, I never really play music but listened & skippped through a few songs today and got FC, then an SMS came through and froze the phone.

I had to pull the battery and restart.

Maybe issue known to MIUI, let's see what goodies Friday brings.
[Desire HD Android Development] oluwaponmile:
Would be nice to have a fix for the lost in GPS signal, I almost got lost last weekend :)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
he?

what sense would it make to optimize ext4 if it does not use ext4? Oo

beside of this: any actual aosp rom (CM7 and miui) is using ext4.

p.s. da dies ein öffentliches forum ist einfach bei englisch bleiben ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
you mean the miui music app? sorry to heat that but nothing i can do. seems to be a bug of that app. maybe clearing its data to solve conflicting data from previous installation or something like that could help.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
i tested it here again and it works flawless now. also remember that my experience was not on a miui rom.

for gps in general:

if you usually get a fix and this fast enough but it drops in special situations then this is probably nothing i can fix for you. either a weather issue, an app isue, an hardware issue or a miui base issue.

if you have problems getting a lock in general then it could be due to your region and my gps configuration. you can alter it partially directly from the settings -> my location -> gps settings

or you can check out the /etc/gps.conf file (you find many threads and infor around here).

this is something i can fix for you by optimizing gps.conf for your region with info available on the net.

NOTE: if you observe that on a different rom you do not seem to have the same issues (verify it over a longer time to ensure it is not a coincidence) then post me the rom so i can check its gps configuration etc.

help me to help you ;)

edit: p.s. currently digging into android app devolpment. if i find time between my job(s) i maybe come up with something nice. nothing more spoiling now :P
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
additional infos regarding gps:

are you having activated "Auto GPS Assitent" in the my locations settings? it assists your locating via gps by using also mobile networks. it dramatically improves gps fixing etc.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
again me regarding gps... i am testing something on gps.conf. maybe i can come up with something for you to test.

GPS FIX

GPS FIX

It seems i had something wrong in the gps.conf. fixed it. either copy the attached gps.conf.txt substituting the one in /etc/gps.conf, using root explorer or similar (remember to set permissions and ownership like the file had before copying over it).

or wait till i uploaded SCI MIUI 1.8.12v1.1, which fill include this fix and the missing hosts file (with a bunch of blocked server).

note the attached file has the name gps.conf.txt but you must rename it to gps.conf. "txt" was needed to attach it here to the post.

sorry for that.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
SCI MIUI 1.8.12v1.1 uploaded

See changelog for more infos.
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
Will give the new rom a whirl, should be able to give the GPS a good test around London tomorrow.

Cheers au
[Desire HD Android Development] oluwaponmile:
Thanks for fixing the gps and the host.........will test the gps over the weekend and report back.
[Desire HD Android Development] JLneonhug:
Awesome, just installed v1.0 (I shall get 1.1 when i get better internet connection)

I maybe asking noob questions so apologies in advance if i am. If screen is off, it takes forever +1 for it to come alive again. Is this a common fault which is fixed in 1.1?

Would using Boot manager to have something to do with it? :rolleyes:
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
thanks.

regarding this lag switching it on... never heard of such an issue. no idea. do you use setcpu with a profile for screen off? maybe any other app that reacts upon screen off/on events?

you may try to led the rom bed in for say 30min and reboot again. then let it bed in again and look if it happens again.

v1.1. does not fix anything regarding this. in fact it is only a small bugfix which fixes a wrong setting in gps.conf and fills hosts file with add server to be blocked.

Update miss labelled in op.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
yes, sir yes. label fixed!

;)
[Desire HD Android Development] JLneonhug:
Thanks, tried the above, but no change. I have narrowed it down now to 'it happens only when you push the power button off then on within a short space of time.' Anyway, I'll give update when I got v1.1 :)

Setcpu on 'interactive' currently (I assume thats best compromise?)

Still having a play with all the MIUI settings etc, I quite like it, if only the std keyboard was a bit bigger..! :rolleyes:
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
my setcpu settings using lordmods kernel:

ondemand, max freq 1075

in advanced settings:

80000

65

0

150

with stock kernel i think i used default values (ondemand).or interactive sometimes.
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
Have been waiting for these, will try out.

Some early feedback on 1.1 no problems so far with GPS but will use more through the day and report back later.
[Desire HD Android Development] evilterrorpl:
Thanks for good job !!! I have small problem - multilang pack for version 1.1 dont work
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
Oo

good you be more specific? if it works for 1.0 it must work for 1.1 too. its the same rom, only change is hosts file and gps.conf, nothing else.

what exactly did you and what exactly happens?
[Desire HD Android Development] evilterrorpl:
Now i click link multilang Miui 1.8.12.v1.x and Oops! Google Chrome could not find <br

A mishap with link in OP a user needs to edit.

Update regarding GPS fix:

Has worked perfect for me today, driving around central London in very congested area, between high rise buildings and never dropped signal once :D

Edit:

OTA updates now available for MIUI !!
[Desire HD Android Development] evilterrorpl:
Thx dude !!
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
oops... gonna fix it in the next minute.

note to me: don't play with settings around you dd not checked what exactly they do :P

glad i fixed it.

1. you should not use this feature as it updates to the official miuiandroid and not to my modified rom

2. you can't as i removed the updater.apk exactly for this reason :P
[Desire HD Android Development] JLneonhug:
Awesome, so whens your next update? :D Im guessing "all that needs to be done" is copy your modified codes to the new MIUI update, check for conflicts and perhaps add a few extra things when/if you find new optimisations etc? (if only life is that simple) :rolleyes:

Im pretty new to MIUI rom so would be great to know its little features i.e. i keep popping up the music player on lock screen but no idea how i did it? I found out screen shot is "menu + volume down" (very cool). Perhaps an external link somewhere?

Is there anything we can do about the camera app? perhaps have the original htc camera app (better quality pictures). :)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
if my girlfriend gives me the time then you will get tomorow evening/night an english only version of the new weekly release.

and yes, simply copy my stuff onto the new base and cook it. it is so simple.... NOW. after i have done the dirty work of finding and testing all the optimizations ;)

i try to find tomorrow some time to open the tips & tricks section that our public vote demands. i will add there some usefull stuff i know and you all are wellcome to post such things here in this thread.

your screenshot tip will be added. i didn't knew this before :D

EDIT: regarding the music player on lock screen.... many lockscreen themes allow showing music player controls on lockscreen if you double tap the clock ;)

Argh,

just flashed 1.8.19 from miui.us and guess what, the PHONE-CONTACTS-HOME bug is still there :-(
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
sorry to hear that.

btw. am currently uploading SCI MIUI 1.8.19v0.5 english only and the new lordmod kernels. in the next 10-15min it will be online.

english german version follow tomorrow evening/night and multilang will probably be ready on sunday when xj has finished his multilang pack for the desire.

well, same as every week ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
Did you complete your checklist so as not to miss any mods or host file from new build :D

Will download this evening when home on the wifi.

[Desire HD Android Development] JLneonhug:
Oh oh before you do, is there any chance you can change the notification led to green? Atm its orange blink, I keep thinking I ran out of battery! I tried the system colour led change but doesn't work. Grr.. thanks muchies! !
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
mine is and allways was green Oo

odd.

sure you have in settings->personal->led settings set the coor to "Green" for all the notification types?
[Desire HD Android Development] JLneonhug:
Yep. I tried 3rd party app (to test) and they seem to make my phone blink green, also it turns green when its fully charged.

For me latest release battery drain isn't as good as previous. My lowest screen off is 7mA compared to 2-3mA with 1.8.12

Not sure if rom (1.8.19) or kernel (6.9.1) issue as updated to latest versions of both at same time.
[Desire HD Android Development] EmptyArea:
+1

although ive no figures to back it up, just an observation.
[Desire HD Android Development] JLneonhug:
I get 3mA with new kernel and ondemandx governor.

for some reason setcpu forgot all of a user's advanced settings (set on boot ticked), since resetting and rebooting I've no bat drain.

so now i don't notice any difference, is there a complete changelog tracker like for cm?
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
TBH I never checked SetCPU settings, I just reverted back to 6.9 kernel and a ok again.

Guess I'll try 6.9.1 again later and make sure SetCPU retains settings.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
SCI MIUI 1.8.19v1.0 EN / DE is up

Also fitting version of 4 Way Reboot + VolumePlus Mod.

@previous posts:

1. led the rom bed in. flashing it wipes dalvik cache and cahce partition so media process and other stuff is working quite some time to rebuild everything.

2. the newest lordmod kernel has slightly increased default voltages due to many reports of freezes under special circumstances. Maybe the cause of slightly increased drain (although i doubt it).

i will report in the next days if i observe any kind of increased drain myself.

p.s. now i'm continue programming my android app :P
[Desire HD Android Development] JLneonhug:
Newbie question once again. On rotation in the previous build there was the ability to lock the specific orientation. How to you get that icon to pop up?

Ill try new rom in a few ticks :D
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
i have the rotation (on/off) icon where it was before. nothinhg changed here Oo
[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:
a user, do you personally use LordMod's UE kernel? If so, which one that you recommend, 6.9 or 6.9.1?
[Desire HD Android Development] EmptyArea:
you're app? whatever it is, if later down the line you want some beta testers I volunteer.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
greatly apreciated. it will be a system tuner. well it is an all-inone setcpu + voltage settings + other stuff (over time it will incorporate more stuff). and most important it supports multiple cpus, setting of all the stuff independently for each cpu if possible,

the "setcpu" part is already working and it allows to set advanced settings for all governors if available and also set all its settings (setcpu fails on e.g ondemandx advanced settings and also does not show all available settings).

i think tomorrow night i will have a beta release for testing.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
i must say that i do not observea difference between this two. in general between this two i would recomend 6.9.1 due to its increased voltages being on the safer side.

but in my tests i also found the miui stock kernel great. can't tell any significant difference battery wise. lordmods kernel gives a bit mote gpu performance in benchmarks and allows tweaking of vdd levels if you intend to.

currently i am using 6.9.1.
[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:
Any chance I can set up min/max freq for sleep/wake governor(s) without resorting to additional apps like setCPU/no frills/etc? Like a script inside the ROM zip? :)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
sorry, but no. this will never happen on my rom as it is useless. i do not add things that have no use and only bloat up the rom. if you think i am wrong you are free to add the ocdaemon on your own.

i explained already many times in this forum why a special profile for sleep (no matter if it involves freuqency and or governor) is so usefull like a pick on your butt. i do not like and i do not support this placebo hype here around. it just does not make xda look serious at all.
[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:
Fine.

No prob.

Your ROM drains battery a bit higher that usual, but then, it could be anything else.

Sorry I downloaded the wrong type of ROM, will return it if I could, you know. :)

[Desire HD Android Development] a user:

[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
Nothing in my rom that could increase drain over stock miui.

No idea what you mean with wrong type of rom
[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:
Well let me explain: I wasn't saying that ANYTHING in your ROM could increase drain, don't be so offensive. On the contrary, I was asking nicely is there anything in your ROM that could decrease drain that MAY come with the stock MIUI.

Wrong type of ROM, actually means wrong type of dev/cook, so I'd steer clear from your ROM.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
Sorry, I didn't meant to sound offensive. I am just short on Time when typing :)

But I still don't understand what you want to say with this wrong type thing. maybe my english isn't good enough.

Edit: no, i have nothing done in the rom for decreasing drain over stock miui. Not needed miui and cm7 ate currently lowest consuming roms.

Flashed 1.8.19v1.0 directly over .12v1.1.

First impression: Extremely smooth and the network connection problems i had with .12v1.0 and 1.1 are gone. Very nice shot. Thx again a user, love this little masterpiece so far.

Oh, and if needed, +1 for betatesting your app if you want.

[Desire HD Android Development] JLneonhug:
Oh? is there a link where I can read this? (i tried looking thro your posts but I gave up after page 7.. lol) I though setcpu etc apps pretty good...
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
Briefly:

When screen goes off the phone tries to go into sleep mode. this means minimal CPU speed and low mode io. It does not matter what governor or what you have as max speed for screen off.

When some task or load wakes your phone then in fact it is even better to have allowed full speed so that the task can be finished fast and phone can go into sleep as fast as possible.

Besides if this: CPU on max speed but with no load does not increases much consumption. And while sleeping even less.

Try this: use performance governor and log with current widget your consumption during screen off. will be the same as with limited speed and any other governor.

P.s. ok this was not short ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
Possible bug in v19

When I use browser and rotate, browser stays in portrait mode. Rotate (landscape) works fine with homscreen and appdraw but not browser. Worked in previous version as used to get prompt on centre screen to lock in either mode while using browser. Anyone confirm
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
Which browser?

Miui s browser? maybe they introduced a new browser option for this
[Desire HD Android Development] JLneonhug:
Ok I understand, however.. I will still need setcpu etc to set the governors correct?

With the lower maximum CPU speed and taking longer vs higher Max speed and less time, will it depend what it is processing? Also, would a greater ramp up and ramp down create increased tempurature,vibrations and less efficiency?

I only query because, if I overclocked (stable) at screen off then it would be more efficient as it require less processing time?
[Desire HD Android Development] djcsurf:
Not to worry,

I am currently still on your last rom, working rock solid and has for over a week now. No FC's or anything so there isn't really anything to report. I was however in the process of switching out some apps and switching emails for website accounts I use and I signed up for wuala with your reference link, as a way of saying thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
yes, but maybe you will like my app instead of setcpu, which i am currently developing ;)

now here we get into mystical stuff :P

this cannot be answered so easy. one thing though you should always keep in mind:

a cpu has a point at which it has the best pressing efficiency (meaning best speed/consumption ratio). increasing speed will increase consumption over proportional. lwoering speed will increase needed computation time also over proportional (when compared to power used for solving the load). usually this point is around the official stock speeds.

this means that you will increase battery drain when overclocking and also increase it when underclocking. but this is just a very general consideration. often underclocking a bit improves efficiency and also depending on load you'll probably never observe the downside of underclocking..

in short: usually only testing reviels the truth and sometimes the differences are so small that you can't even messure it ;)

the best governors for most setups is ondemand and interactive. ondemand can be tuned a bit to have an effect of underclocking a bit as long as load is not to high but provide full speed if needed ( see my settings a page or two back). these settings keeps ondemand to set speed most time arround 900MHz under load but you hit heavy load it will run full speed. if over longer time only a medicore load lies on the cpu then it will decrease speed slowly because higher speeds does not help anyway.

play arround with ondemand settings while keeping your device lag free is a good start.

but stay away from screen off profile. totally useless and often increases consumption (although in general only slightly).
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
thank you very much. you can check out miuis changelog at miuiandroid.com. i am on the newest now but can't tell any difference. if you have no issues then no need to change. no new features introduced so no need to hurry. i probalby would have kept it myself if i didn't needed to test it for the release update :P
