[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emceelovin:
since the official ics port for the nexus s has been released, how influential will that be on the samsung epic 4g? im asking because the two phones are almost identical hardware wise, so that should help the porting right? ive searched a lot through the forums to see if this was answered, but no luck, so i figured id post it. hopefully not being redundant. i wouldve posted this on the developers forum, but i cant yet. id rather post on that forum because i understand all that stuff. just dont really have much android/linux development experience. all information if appreciated.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Not really close enough. Epic uses different drivers. May help some but not enough to have aport anytime soon.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emceelovin:
that is true. its one of those so close, but yet so far away kinda things. the driver point is a realy good point. having the ics source doesnt mean anything when interaction between it and the hardware doesnt exist yet. fortunately though a lotta code exists to hopefully help get that going. it would be nice to see an alpha soon. i wish i could help. i have a lot of time but no hardware experience.

Hello.

Can someone check their compass? Mine doesn't seem to be working (properly)

Testing it with GPS Essentials and Google Skymap, when the phone is parallel to the ground, screen up and turned counter/clockwise, the compass doesn't change at all. In fact the only position it moves when when its in horizontal position with the screen towards me, but even then it doesn't show proper directions..
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Here is the video I took how it supposed to work (HTC Inspire 4G on right) and how it actually works.

http://youtu.be/xxxS_HZsRLU
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
That seems bad! can anybody else confirm please? It will suck to do all the work we r doing for the phone only to have to return them cuz of a bad compass.
[LG Nitro HD] PearsonDKA:
Mine ain't all to..reliable. It just goes all over place. If im looking North the damn thing decides to tell me that I'm actually facing South East or something.
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
First I went outside and tried out skymap and indeed the tracking didn't seem reliable.

I came back inside and installed a compass app: (Compass, by Catch.com).

At first run it asks you to move the phone in a figure 8 to calibrate the magnetic sensor. I did so...Then I got some strange dialog that said "Abnormal magnetic field detected. Please calibrate". While the compass app is running, if I put the phone on a table (or any flat surface) and just turn the phone, the North arrow should stay pointing at north. But on my Nitro it's not!! :confused::mad: What's worse is that damned "Abnormal magnetic field detected" keeps coming back.

I tried doing the same thing with my old Nexus One and it works fine, no complaints about "abnormal magnetic field" and when you turn the N1 the North arrow keeps pointing towards north.

This has me VERY worried about this phone!! I noticed the other day that while using the Navigation the software seemed to be locked up (non-responsive when trying to bring up the menu) and if the "abnormal magnetic field" had a play in it, then that would explain it.

---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 AM ----------

Also tried installing Sensor Test to see how the other sensors were looking...I didn't even know our Nitro has a Gyroscope! Nice! Would that gyro in any interfere? It shouldn't correct?
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Just wondering, n i know it's somewhere on google :P But I like to tickle all u brainiacs out there to explain wat is the purpose of a gyroscope in a phone. I don't see why we really need it in a phone. :D
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Yeah, if have something like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORcu-c-qnjg

Then apparently it's not working...
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
If something is really broken in these phones, then I think we all need to reach out to LG and complain or can we have a class action lawsuit against them for selling broken products?
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
This morning I sent them email regarding the compass issue. Let's see if what they say about it.

But if more people confirm this issue, we could do something about, would need more publicity though.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Publicity is easy enough. Once we get a good amount of people confirming the issue, we can start sending out the story to different forums n tech news sites like engadget, begrudge, gizmodo, n even our beloved xda. Then we can start posting those news on LG's forum n see wat they will say.

We did a similar thing for the atrix before when at&t was throttling back the hspa+ speeds on our phones while iPhone 4 was getting full speed. In months down the road they fixed it.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Here's my suggestion. Everyone with this phone n r having the compass issue with it, please record a video or take pictures/screenshots of how the compass is going haywire. Upload it here, so that when the story hits the news, they can all see that its not just one phone but many. We need to upload as many proves as we can to make a valid statement.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
mine shows the sun and a bunch of constellations around it when I pointed at the sun, when I move my phone around it seems to track properly. not sure if that helps
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
By "properly" do you mean as in HTC Inspire in my video? Or it takes a few seconds after you stopped moving for the image to catch up? - the latter is the best I could achieve after activating GPS and wait for 5 minutes...
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
I found V@no's thread over at the LG Forums and added my comment as well. Please, anyone else having this issue also post there as that is an official LG Forum.

http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards/carriers/at-and-t/topics/lg-nitro-hd-compass-doesnt-work

Also, for the Skymap app, there's another potential issue at play...Screen resolution. I tried going into Settings > Display > Screen Optimization and checked-on Google Skymap and that did seem to help the app (redraw was much smoother).
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
It actually makes sense, since Nitro's resolution is "huge" and not many apps are optimized for such beast.

In fact on HTC Inspire the screen scrolls almost flawlessly in skymap compare to Atrix 4G, with dual core processor, good GPU, but higher screen resolution.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
getting interesting lol
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
I hadn't noticed the compass issue until you guys mentioned it. I did a side by side with an actual compass, and my nitro was nonsense, just all over the place. But actually, when I turned off auto rotate, it fixed it. Check it out on your phone. With screen auto rotate disabled, my compass (and everything else associated, like maps, sky map and compass app) works great, but once enabled, my phone doesn't know it's head from it's ass. Let me know if you guys see the same effect.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
It does improve a little on some compass apps, but skypmap sees no difference.
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
Weird. In that case, my phone is unusual. The compass works pretty well now (for apps including skymap) when compared to my X10 and an Atrix. They're quite similarly accurate.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
I wonder if this is just a simple fix we can do ourselves, like maybe updating a file or changing some values in a file. I remember there was a file that we replaced in the Atrix phones to improves its GPS pickup speed and accuracy. I dont know if we can do the same thing here. Let me look for that thread back in the Atrix forum.
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
Being an electrical engineer that has designed gyroscopes and compasses into many systems including dead reckoning systems and inertial measurement units, to me it sounds like a software issue especially if it works better when you disable auto rotate (the two shouldn't be related in the slightest but I guess bad programming can break many things, lol). Now if you noticed a huge improvement when you disabled wifi/bluetooth/3g/4g/lte or plugged/unplugged it from a charger then it would scream EMI hardware design issues.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
In airplane mode, when everything is off, google skymap works ok, sluggish, not very accurate, but at least it moves!
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
That's really odd. I was having a lot of fun with skymap last night =)
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
LOL! Videos people, Vi-De-O!! :D So we all can see what you guys mean, and then we can bring it up to LG or other news sites. I know LG responded to the thread on their forum regarding our compass, but still pending a proper respond, so the more proof we have, the more we can make our case. :)
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
I turned off the auto-rotate, but the compass app I'm using is still all over the place.

I wish I could make better sense of the info provided in 'Sensor Test', it gives the raw readings of all your different sensors. With the Skymap and Compass and such apps there's too many variables at play (screen rez, software glitches, gui glitches, etc...)

Just a quick check here, for all the folks that have checked your magnetic-field sensor (aka compass):

1. Did you find your compass to not be working properly?

2. Is your phone rooted?

3. Did you debloat or otherwise manually remove "bloat" software?

For me:

1. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. Yes.

Just wondering if maybe one of those "bloat" pieces of software might've been doing something to compensate so the compass works correctly.
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
1.) No

2.) Yes

3.) Sorta

My compass seems unstable with auto rotate enabled, in particular when trying to use sky map, but with it disabled, it's quite steady. I don't know what kind of testing I should be doing, but standing at work and just rotating in place, it's quite accurate about telling me which direction I'm facing. I removed a few programs from my phone, but I'm very cautious about that stuff. I only removed things I absolutely knew for sure what they were, and that they were not system apps, like the poker game and yellow pages, etc. Really obvious programs only.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
if'n any of y'all get lost due to the compass responding slowy, holler at me and i can find a route for ya to get ya where you're goin!*

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

For you viewing pleasure, here's a video of the compass on my Nitro. The orange bottlecap in the vid represents where North is...Notice how the compass points pretty much everywhere, except north.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNDnWHmsRwk
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
What do you guys think if it happens to be confirmed hardware issue, what should we expect from LG? Recall?
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
It better be, and give us all better phones lol...oh wait, there's nothing better than our phones -_-;
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
It seems we gotta do it the hard way:

Has anyone so far can confirm their Nitro's compass works fine as on other phones? Anyone? ("pretty well", without seeing how it works on other phones to compare with is not good enough)
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
"GPS Status" app has compass calibration which improved compass on my Nitro 200%....I shall see how it works after reboot though. With GPS off even Google Skymap works ok, not as good as on HTC Inspire, but it works....
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
I can confirm that mine works comparably well to both my X10 and an Atrix for the compass, google maps, and sky maps in determining my orientation.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
I have communicated with the LG forum's Web admin and relayed to him all the issues we are having. He has graciously replied back instantly and informed me that he is trying to replicate as many of the issues we have as he can so they can be escalated to the upper tech support. He said that the Compass GPS issue has been submitted to the support group and might take a few days for them to reply back to the issue.

Oh, and I said GPS, because for some reason, at times, my GPS is pin-pointing me elsewhere, sometimes in a city 20 miles away from my current location. On the map, it showed me at the right location, however when you click on your arrow, it shows i'm elsewhere. Same thing goes with the weather, showing me to be at that other place. I have to turn of GPS first, and turn it back on for it to reset my location.

He also encouraged us to submit our issues on the LG Forum as well, so he can directly escalate them from there to the appropriate teams.

I quite appreciate him replying back to me, and immediately at that point too. It's kinda rare to have a web admin these days that even care to reply back so I'm at least happy with their forum support. Hopefully it will result in something good.
[LG Nitro HD] typhoonk:
I posted there too.

But haven't seen an update from an LG rep yet...... Would be nice to know that they acknowledged the issue as a HW or software issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikereidis:

The lack of usable FM hardware is the problem.

See this for a previous discussion: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1314191

Nothing has changed:

(1) No Silicon Labs FM chip.

(2) The Broadcom FM chip antenna pins do not seem to go anywhere useful.

End of story IMO unless someone can prove (1) or (2) is incorrect, which I doubt.

Google doesn't like/want OTA FM IMO. The Nexus One was a fluke, as it was an HTC Desire derivative that didn't have the FM disabled.

Ok I have packaged up the 6.2.1 update with only the files changed or modified from 6.2

Included in this is:

unsecure boot image

busybox

su binary

and su apk

This is for anyone with root and TWRP already installed and still on 6.2

this will not format system it will just update the need files.

So all added apps will remain and all data will be intact.

Install and wipe dalvik and cache, then reboot

Download
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sadalius:
This had already been done in both secure an unsecure boot images. Wait, sorry, didn't see the modded from 6.2 part...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nfinitefx45:
this is only to update 6.2 to 6.2.1 without wiping the system partition. There was no need to flash the entire update as large portion of the package was the same when compared.

This is also to save the hassel of having to reinstall / reconfig everthing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sadalius:
Yeah, I figured that out after I posted. My appologies. This should make it a little easier.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bsoplinger:
Won't get to it for a week because of the holiday but this sounds great. But just to be sure. I'm on 6.2 only right now. I download and install this and I magically get 6.2.1 without being too worry over losing root or changes I made to the /system partition, correct? Does this also mean I don't have to worry about the OTA update coming along and messing things up?

Sent from my HTC Flyer P512 using Xparent Purple Tapatalk
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nfinitefx45:
yes you dont have to worry about anything that was added to or modiied on your 6.2 it will remain, as for the OTA update, I cant verify that it wont end up trying to install, but if it actually verifies the system first then you should be good to go.

I did my wifes kindle yesterday and it hasnt tried to update at this point.

Ok, this POS just bricked my Kindle Fire.

Do NOT INSTALL!!!!!

Check the bootmode via the Kindle Fire Utility and tried to change it.

No ADB and NO fastboot.

Edit: was able to get ADB and fastbook working thanks to this post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20631342#post20631342), though something in this update destroyed my ability to get into TWRP. Still: Do NOT flash.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Wow really this is only the software update has nothing to do with the bootmode. This will take a while to boot as the dalvik needs rebuilt but should boot within 5 minutes.

I tested this several (at least 20) times after restoring my system to the 6.2 backup everytime and never had an issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] andTab:
Sorry if I was a little harsh, but I was - hopefully understandably - quite upset.

This update did not work for me and bricked my fire installation.

I left it on for at least 20-30 minutes to give it a chance to boot. No dice.

Maybe you included something specific to your KF?
