hadware FIX + AGPS Patch for Desire HD 1.X does not working :-(

Hi everybody,

I'm using MIUI (latest ROM version) + agps path (latest version from this thread). In addition i've check 2 times the pads of the GPS antenna (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qm_z65LA8k) .. it seems to be ok.

But i always have to activate 3g to FIX the GPS. I use gps status and GpsFIX to improve the speed of the fix the position. :(:(:(
[Desire HD Android Development] crypted:
Don't use GPS FIX with this patch. GPS Status is only to be used to check your GPS performance.

3G shouldn't be required but a data connection is needed. That is how aGPS and NTP time is obtained. Expect to need 700kb of data.

where an i copying the file into? which folder?
[Desire HD Android Development] crypted:
/etc/ within system...
[Desire HD Android Development] cnnxda:
so have es explorer adn when i tried to copy it over.. it keeps saying denied. move says denied and copy and paste the text within the file is deined.

any reason?
[Desire HD Android Development] crypted:
Because its read write protected. Goto settings and enable root explorer and enable mount file system. Then do it.

Wow, I have to say I had problems with previous versions of this script, but 1.3 with VU in Austria works really well! Ive got a 6-10 m acc in GPS Test (which I never had before) really fast.
[Desire HD Android Development] crypted:
Glad you're having a good experience. As I said to some, one version may work better depending on their device and location. But, I think that v2.0 will really be a benefit to everyone. v3.0 will be amazing once I get there.

On another thread, I have been called a voodoo person, magician, and not solving problems even when others comment that I do. Apparently, if I do not document every little detail and what every variable means, that means I do not benefit the community or solve problems. :confused:

Funny guy. He refuses to try my patch but relishes trashing me in private message and on my own thread for the Incredible S patch.

I'll keep working for everyone, even if there are rude people who continue to want to attack and degrade rather than assist.
[Desire HD Android Development] jasopan:
Hey mate, had problems with my GPS since last week, try like every fix including 1.3 of your patch and nope :( I posted a couple of pages back but GPS is still broken I think, should I wait for 1.4/2.0 of your patch or just send my phone in?
[Desire HD Android Development] mcastagnaa:
Hi there, quick question from me: is the radio choice any relevant in order to get the best from your patch?

Thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] DeadlyCords:
Great Work Man! Keep it coming!
[Desire HD Android Development] m3n3chm0:
Firstable thanks for your response @crypted.

Now it's working but i need to reset and download A-GPS state from Gps Status. then i activate the Gps and Sygic fix the position in 10 sec :p

But some times the icon of GPS in the notifications bar does not works fine. So i need to reboot the system.

So one question.. it's there any process i could stop / kill to reset the GPS without have to reboot the system ??.

Thanks in advance. :rolleyes:
[Desire HD Android Development] crypted:
I'm pretty sure that GPS is only initialized when an app calls for it. Have you considered trying a different ROM, radio, RIL combination?
[Desire HD Android Development] Nichie:
looks good gonna try this
[Desire HD Android Development] malte41:
great fix as said before.

after some days i got the same probs as before.... weak signal...just a few sats.

i found the wipe_efs tutorial... after some days with flashing different roms,radios,rils nothing help.

.... b00m! wipe_efs_data r0cks! 12 sats (ok... on a wide open airfield...but still c00l :-) ... fast fixing.

so i you got any probs.... try this!

[Desire HD Android Development] crypted:
This is a good fix once you know it cannot be fixed by software and you don't have a warranty or are ballsy enough to risk bricking. I wouldn't recommend doing that kind of stuff right away. Try software patches and modifications like this one first.

Curiously, are you still using this patch? Or, did you quit?
[Desire HD Android Development] m3n3chm0:
Hello again guys ¡¡

I'm still having the same problem with my MIUI by Apside (last release).

The DHD fixes the position just the first time i turn on it. Then the gps icon disappears from the task bar :confused:

So i will try with an older Radio that worked good in the past.

Anybody knows if i should delete / uninstall Sygic... and the folder saved in the microSD ¿?? or any other possible solution :)

Thanks ¡¡
[Desire HD Android Development] crypted:
Test your GPS unit to see its results with GPS Status as I discussed in the Notes section.

[Desire HD Android Development] m3n3chm0:
OK, i'll try it... but it's not supposed that when we flashing another new ROM... this "gps cache" is clearing¿?

mmmmm i'm using linux... for the cache clearing mentioned abobe it's required a windows machine... do you know if i could do that under linux system :) ?¿¿?
[Desire HD Android Development] crypted:
No, because that exists on partitions that aren't listed or contained in wiping.

Hi,

Regarding build.prop agps parameters, what's your opinion on these ones:

ro.ril.def.agps.mode=?

ro.ril.def.agps.feature=?

And what values do you propose ?

Thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] m3n3chm0:
I'm going to try it (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12764930&postcount=1) soon :)

Doing the cache clearing i only delete the internal memory, right ?¿ not the MicroSD... ?¿

I've already make a backup from my ROM and microsd..
[Desire HD Android Development] malte41:
SD-card will remain UNTOUCHED! :-) at least nothing will be deleted. As said in the wipe_efs-thread the script will back some stuff on the card. For me ot worked great.

Finally i found the failure with my DHD... (gps sometimes great... sometimes weak)

I opened the houseing and what did i found? a broken -extrem- tiny golden contact. i know how to do so i put two wires on the contacts for testing.... 10 sats on my couch.... 12 on the roof with 1m!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] crypted:
I have not gotten into toying with these yet. I use the default values in the ROMs I use. Maybe I'll toy with them at some point, but right now this patch tends to resolve issues so I don't want to start playing with pieces that don't need playing with outside of gps.conf.
[Desire HD Android Development] michelD:
Thanks.

So I will try myself because my impression up to now is that one point is still missing in the possible improvements for AGPS that could be extremely useful in bad conditions: it is for the gps to make the best usage of the rough localisation provided by both the internet access localisation (in case WiFi) and the one provided the GSM base stations that seems, IMHO, not yet (correctly) implemented.

Another point that could be helpful would be the possibility to synchronize the system clock on the GPS one when the GPS is in use. This could be especially useful when there is no internet connection being so in the impossibility to download aGPS data (clock ref and ephemerides ).

Another point that troubles me is the huge drift of the system clock with CyMod roms that seems not append with some other roms. I suppose that CyMod roms probably don't synchronize correctly on the GSM network clock.I think that in situation of no internet connection, this could explain the why sometime the GPS lock is extremely long with CyMod roms.
[Desire HD Android Development] crypted:
Let me know how it goes on the build.prop.

You would need an ntp client on the phone to sync the clock assuming it operates like the standard Linux operations. That's a big undertaking and may be a ROM specific issue.

And I'm not sure on cymod.

Questions:

Once the sdcard is mounted to the phone. I need to have install in my windows machine the HTC SYNC ¿??¿ in order to unzip the file from the thread and do the adb command:

# adb push vision_wipe_efs /data/local/tmp/

The steps are not enough clear. For exmaple:

1. Do i need to have my phone in "usb debugging" ¿??¿

2. Connected to the windows machine ¿?

3. Connected under "massive storage usb mode" ¿?

Thanks in advance ¡¡
[Desire HD Android Development] jean019:
Thanks, it seems to work well in v1.3 (western europe) :)
[Desire HD Android Development] krzych:
After looking into gps.conf from the package I think it's a mess.

For example, someone defined "secure" port and pointed to certificate on the phone that DO NOT EXISTS (/etc/SuplRootCert).

SUPL_HOST=FQDN

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_HOST=lbs.geo.t-mobile.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

SUPL_SECURE_PORT=7275

SUPL_NO_SECURE_PORT=3425

SUPL_TLS_HOST=FQDN

SUPL_TLS_CERT=/etc/SuplRootCert

Solution: supply the certificate or switch this off.

Or maybe I got it wrong and this is working other way than I think, but another "issue"...:

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra4.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_4=/data/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_5=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

Those should be "fallback" servers, so if first is unavailable, check second and so on... If so, line with XTRA_SERVER_4=/data/xtra.bin should be the LAST ONE (SERVER_5) because if all online data is unavailable, gpsd should look into last known data saved in /data/xtra.bin - why? Simply because it is ALWAYS WORSE than ACTUAL ONE (online).

Next issue:

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_HOST=lbs.geo.t-mobile.com

Someone care to explain what is setting variable with google server for if we just line after exchange its value to t-mobile? There can be only one instance of SUPL_HOST variable so the first line is simply unnecessary (and personally I prefer google supplementary service than t-mobile coz if something can go down it will be way faster t-mobile than google - reason - google has really good redundance and simply they are way richer, so I trust them more in the meaning of stability).

Can someone describe all the parameters? What it SHOULD do? (coz now it won't in every case)

Despite all those "issues", thanks for the rest. It's nice but should be really cleaned up.
[Desire HD Android Development] crypted:
Man, I almost got pissed off and considered a line of language that would show that feeling.

I have explained every variable at some point in thread discussions. Currently, I would prefer to spend what time I have perfecting the gps.conf than building a document for everyone to review. I do not have 24 hours in a day to dedicate to this. So, search the threads and learn if you feel the urge.

About the SPLROOTCERT: Version 2.0 will provide three variations of SUPLROOTCERT/SPLSERVER configurations. This has long been on the list and the beta testers have played with them. However, I did not see it as a necessity because every ROM I have used left the generic SPLROOTCERT in the ROM. BUT, since some appear not to have it, I spent ample time searching out different variations to provide.

About fallback servers, XTRA1 server has huge latency issues. I put it at the very bottom instead of deleting it completely. I think that server should not even be there. But to appease someone else who was *****ing at me, I put it in there at the bottom. I consistently and frequently use some Linux scripts to test response times from those servers to see how quick we can get the .bin file from them. That, as I have said at least 50 times before, is why I have changed XTRA around.

The same goes for the Google and TMobile SUPL servers. Someone wanted both and swore how horrible I was for only using Google's originally. But, v2.0 necessarily will change all of that with the SUPLROOTCERT packages that are coming.

FYI to all: I will stop answering these questions because of how redundant it is and how much time it takes out of my busy schedule to essentially repeat myself. At some point when I am satisfied with the configuration, I might write a guide or explanation once and for all. But, that is not high on my agenda. A document won't get better performance, only alterations and testing.

Sorry, lots of messages hard to keep track. I have my phone in debug all the time. I use a Windows machine to push files. It doesn't matter about the USB drive part.

I'd assume you know that adb requires some specific files. If you've pushed a new radio before, you have the files already.

Entiendes? Este es facil. Pero, creo que lo mismo con ES File Explorer a copiar alli tambien. (Soy peruano).
[Desire HD Android Development] ^533saw5^:
Brilliant app this, I flash it onto all my roms, thanks very much :)

One question though, are there any apps about that can tweak the GPS so that it is more accurate ? When I am using CoPilot and there is a street running parallel on the left of the road I am on it thinks I am on that road and not the one I am on. This gets quite frustrating when driving through town centres/cities etc.

If there was a way of maybe offsetting the position slightly? that would be awesome.

I hope this makes sense

Cheers
[Desire HD Android Development] m3n3chm0:
OK.... al final como viste en las capturas anteriores.. conseguí hacer el wipe EFS... gracias.... ahora a ver si funciona bien el GPS ya que todavía no tuve tiempo a probarlo :D
[Desire HD Android Development] crypted:
Navigation software tries to determine and position you using its own software in conjunction with gps data.

Try with a case off if you have one. I find that mine works best without a case and held at 45 degrees which is hardware related loss.
[Desire HD Android Development] m3n3chm0:
Dear all... i've test my GPS today without lucky. I still have to reset the phone after use gps 2 times or more.

I've done the method 1 few days ago.. and yesterday i've installed the new version of MIUI.

So as last chance i will uninstall sygic, gps status, gps test and reinstall sygic and gps status. :confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] crypted:
I would not use a bunch of GPS tools together. Some actually override or replace what my patch does anyway. So, they could start trying to override one another.

If none of these solutions have worked for you, it may be time to open up the back and see if it is the hardware problem I referred to in the notes section.

I will try to have v2.0 released within the 24 hours. I need some time to make the packages, upload, and edit posts.
[Desire HD Android Development] m3n3chm0:
OK probaré desinstalandolos y probando solo con gps status de nuevo y a ver si hay suerte.

Ya he abierto la tapa del GPS 3 veces y veo que los PINS / conectores están bien.. no están rotos y los toque para que quedaran un poco hacia arriba como indicaba el video.

El problema este del icono de GPS y tener que reiniciarla creo que lo tengo desde que puse por error el parche 1.3n... y luego encima en 1.3. pero supongo que con poner encima el 1.3 como he hecho debería "sobreescribirlo" no ?¿

De todas maneras gracias por contestar y hacer este mod... a ver si hay suerte con la v2 :)

Everyone, the latest version is out. It's a minor update.

I just got a legit sandisk 32gb class 4 off of newegg and before swapping I transferred everything from the external SD folder to my internal, did the swap, formatted in the phone then swapped the contents of my old external SD to the new one. Rebooted a few times but my apps will not load. All my apps are saved to phone or internal SD card as well.

Does anyone know why?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lgkahn:
copying from external to internal would not have copied hidden files.. and many of the apps may have had their own direcdtories on external sd with hidden files..

i always do this is pc by backing up old sd to a directory on the pc (make sure to have view hidden and system files on)

they copy back to a new sd card..

double check what was copied by doing a check disk on the old and new cards and comparing number of files and directories including hidden.. should be the same.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Fee454:
Even if show hidden files was checked off within the phone options itself?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvtjoker42:
it's more than likely an app running in the background than the rom, but anything is possible with custom roms and the hardware inconsistencies of our phones. Some of the older GB leaks I had a similar issue with the wake lock lag, but any of the newer EC05, and the GB leaked roms I haven't had this issue unless there was a rogue app causing it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Volknochi:
That's a bit interesting, cause I have hardly anything running in the background. My memory usage is like 170MB, versus 225 when running a dev's ROM. What I'm running is the simple GB update; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLMlYuwTj6w and along with the EG22 modem.

Every time I've flashed some dev's ROM, the memory usage would be in the 220+.
