[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
There is no AOS "bug". There are just bugs which cause high AOS to be reported - on ICS some of these are 100% reporting bugs that don't have associated battery drain. On Gingerbread - there were a wide variety of "root cause" bugs that caused the same high level symptoms and DID cause drain. There was no single AOS "bug".

In fact, the only things that could cause high AOS reporting that were firmware bugs (which don't apply to ICS - well at least I don't think they do) were:

1) Packet filters in the wifi driver getting blocked by jankiness in the system, which led to broadcast and ARP traffic on wifi networks waking the device. Confirmed in XXKI3 and UCKK6, probably present in XWKK5.

2) Wifi chip going nutso and frequently waking the device on its own with phantom traffic, aka the "BT-AMP" bug - Confirmed on XWKK5 and UCKK6.

XWKL1 did not have the above two bugs, same for XWLA4.

XXLPH could reintroduce them - but it'll be impossible to definitively diagnose without kernel source code.

Android OS reporting is completely different in ICS than Gingerbread (in fact, I believe that nearly everything that got reported as AOS in Gingerbread on our devices will be hidden in ICS unless CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING or whatever it is named was disabled in the kernel.), and there's one confirmed bug that affects only reporting of AOS but not actual drain in Android 4.0.0-4.0.3.
[Galaxy S II General] :
As Entropy says, forget everything you learned about AOS.

In GB if your AOS was > 8% "zOMG, we're all going to die, the end is nie!"

In ICS if your AOS is < 40% "zOMG, my phone is borked, how can I increase my AOS!"

Hey codeworkx, I think you stay here wrong.

Every phone can be tracked by the police, whether it has GPS or not.

I think it somehow works with the signal tower you are connected/registered to. They can look up in which signal cell you are at the moment and so locate you.

[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
They better release sources in max 1 month after official release or I'll seriously sell my sgs2 and get a Nexus(may actually do it earlier).

Phones can't work if they don't know where you are. Turn GPS and wifi off and it will triangulate your location based on cell towers. It is quite inaccurate(about 1000-1500m accuracy) but works.

Hi guys..

First of all, kudos to codeworkx and the rest of his team with the CM9 rom.. The smoothest and best ROM i've ever used on my SGS2.. I know that the latest builds have MTP busted, and i can't do mass storage on my phone when i connect to my PC..

However, as suggested, I used droid explorer to move files between my phone and PC for the last 2 weeks or so that i've been on CM9.. Now, after I flashed the latest build - 02202012 - Droid explorer can't recognise any device connected to the PC when i connect my phone. The REALLY interesting thing here is that even when i was running on CM7 about 3 weeks ago, just before i switched to CM9, it never detected my phone!! lmao..

Any ideas on how to get around this?? I know I can use AirDroid, but I don't always have access to a wifi connection at home, so was looking to find a way to make droid explorer work properly..

I'd happily accept that answer if it wasn't for the fact that the 01292012 and 02012012 kernels could be detected in droid explorer.

I think my phone is cursed when it comes CM roms.

Every CM rom or CM based rom i've tried has resullted in me having non functional GPS.

However, every sammy rom and non CM roms, i have super fast gps.

I've tried every possible fix on CM7/CM9 and MIUI as well and nothing seems to work when it comes to GPS.

Completely at loss as to what to do.

Anyone have any full proof methods of me getting back GPS?
[Galaxy S II General] shawnaye:
you can disable fast dormancy by keying in *#*#9900#*#*

Download attachment.

Go to "/system/etc/" and make a backup of sirfgps by renaming it to sirfgps.bak.

Extract the file (sirfgps.zip), and move the sirfgps.conf into the "/system/etc/" folder.

Reboot the phone. Hope this works :)

Try enabling usb tether, droid explorer works for me then
[Galaxy S II General] test9876543:
nope, doesn't work - at least not on the 02202012 build with either LPB or LPH radio. Keying it in will remove the code from the dialler as if it was accepted, but there's no confirmation or error and it keeps switching between H & 3G every 7 seconds. The *#9900# code works on the stock firmware though.

I'd really like to know as well as I'm in a crappy reception area anyway.

Codeworkx? Any input on this? Is there a way to disable it or is it planned or is this also depending on Samsung releasing the kernel sources?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] shawnaye:
hmm, the code is working fine on my LPH based rom, if im not wrong, i think codeworkx once mentioned somewhere there was an app or something that has all those codes.

Edit: hmm, strangely enough cant find no **** on that.

flashing CM9 to my phone in awhile. hopefully i'll try to see if i can help.
[Galaxy S II General] nizam1:
Thanks for the reply bro..but i've tried this already and it doesn't work for me.

GPS status shows only one green dot and there is no lock for ages.

GMaps doesnt get a lock unless i use network for a lock as well.
[Galaxy S II General] ajayshah95:
Where do you live and what carrier are you on?
[Galaxy S II General] nizam1:
I live in India and my carrier is Airtel.

Ive tried flashing the India specific module from the GPS modules thread.

Ive tried the AGPS patch which someone linked to earlier.

Ive tried the fix that you posted earlier.

Tried flashing multiple modems (although AFAIK, your modem doesnt affect GPS.)

If i didn't know any better, I would think the sensor is broken.:(

However the GPS most definitely works with stock roms and non cm based custom roms.

Edit - My GPS hasn't worked for more than 3 months now since ive either been on MIUI or CM9

Edit 2 - Im on the latest CM9 build with LPB modem if that is of any help

Hello people,

I think that there is an update for Chrome in the market, but it is not available in my country. I'm using market enabler but still no luck.

If somebody can update it and tell us if it works...

Also it would be more than welcome if somebody can upload somwhere the apk of this update.

All the best
[Galaxy S II General] aesptux:
They've released the first version, I have to try it. Seems interesting
[Galaxy S II General] ajayshah95:
Funnily enough, it was working for me before, and after the update it is broken again :p so sadly, no.

However, when it was working I can tell you that it is blazing fast, and once Galaxy S2 officially gets ICS on March 1st, I am sure Google will update Chrome app and it will work for CM9 users too. Patience is a virtue :)

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

Sorry but I don't know a lot about the ins and outs of GPS modules, etc. I would recommend trying to ask someone else (but don't pester), or try to find someone who is in the same country and/or same carrier to see if it is a problem with your method, your phone or more generally your carrier. If someone else is having the same problem and you are on the same carrier then you can narrow down the problem.

Also, have you tried googling it?

Edit: Also, what does it say when looking for GPS. Does it get stuck at 'Searching for GPS'?

If you check the reviews for Chrome Beta, numerous users are saying that the last update no longer works for CM9 because it says they are not running Android 4.0, seemingly only allowing Galaxy Nexus, which is the only 'official' ICS phone at the moment.
[Galaxy S II General] jwl12345:
GNex, Transformer, Transformer Prime, Xoom, and Nexus S.
[Galaxy S II General] ajayshah95:
Oh yeah, my bad. What I mean is any phone such as the GS2 which is running an unofficial version is no longer supported, defeating the idea of open-source if Google are only allowing Chrome on 'official' builds.

[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
The way things work in modern phones:

1) Even without GPS, a phone can be roughly located just based on which tower it's talking to. With UMTS, it is in theory possible to locate a phone based on a multi-tower solution.

2) However, the above is very inaccurate, as a result, assisted GPS was created to allow for more accurate locations in almost all situations. Early aGPS solutions were unable to obtain a fix on their own, requiring LOTS of network assistance. Later ones were more capable of standalone operation.

One of the specific technologies used nowadays is called SUPL - it's not particularly well-documented, but lets the network assist the GPS receiver in achieiving a position fix more rapidly. Some devices (like the GPS chip used in the original GalaxyS series) had such crippled GPS chips that they were barely able to achieve a position fix without network help. Same for early Qualcomm MSM7k devices (ever tried xdandroid on a Rhodium? GPS takes forever to lock unless you pre-lock in winmo because SUPL and other assistance features aren't supported.)

The GPS chipset in the Infuse was also heavily dependent on SUPL, and it had to be SUPL via the cell network. (Some implementations, such as those found in many tablets, can do SUPL-over-wifi.)

Newer GPS chipsets, however, are more capable of standalone operation even without network assistance. While the SiRF GSD4t used in the I9100 and I777 can be network-assisted - it is quite capable of standalone operation. It's the first phone I've ever used where standalone operation could almost match the performance of my old SiRF Star III Bluetooth puck. (Still can't beat MTKv2 or STM Cartesio.)

So the modem can affect data performance, which can help the GPS a bit - but on the I9100/I777, it's not significant. It's MUCH more important on the GalaxyS series because the GPS chip was so ****ty that it was basically unable to lock without significant network help.

As to my background on this - I took ECE 4150 back when Kintner was still alive and it was just ECE 415 - http://gps.ece.cornell.edu/ece415/ (For me, over a decade ago, back when we got to deal with DOS-based receiver control software that would always start with a 2-year-old ephemeride set, causing it to try and lock sats on the other side of the planet for 30 minutes. :( )
