[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtchG:
I have been updating my Xoom with the nightly builds since it started and have never had anything but awesome results with it.

I applied build 27 and started getting the coma sleep issue. I waited and applied build 28 and the same result. I rolled back to #26 and it has been smooth sailing again like all of the previous builds.

I was wondering if anyone else has been getting the coma sleep starting with #27 or if my Xoom is an island unto itself.

I know builds 27 ans 28 have been centered around getting NFS working and include an updated kernel for it. I am hoping I am not stuck at #26 because my Xoom is a NFS prude.

I will apply the next build and see what happens. I will start logging and see what it shows if forever sleeps again.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtchG:
Oh and to all of the devs and others posting in the development thread for this build....I am not able to post there because I am under 10 posts still. Though I believe this is my tenth post, so I will click on over and see if I can post there now.

What would be involved in porting one of the Optimistic V (or other Optimistic One variants) really awesome ROMs to the LG Vortex (which is Verizion's version of the Optimums One) ?

My old Vortex is just sitting around and I wanna learn how to make ROMs. It can't be too hard to get a ROM working on it, the only difference is the radio, as far as I can tell, and that would be just replace some files, right?

So I'm hoping someone who knows a lil more than me can tell me what I need to change to make a ported ROM off someone's Optimistic One variant source.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtmerrick:
ANYONE? not a hard question....
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rores:
Not a hard question??? What do YOU think is involved. porting to a completely new phone AOSP or whatever is way harder than you think. You need to compile from source to get a fully working rom. I cannot do this but you should try first messing around. You don't even have CWM on the Vortex, so you should go and ask that first...
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arjen:
You can port different kinds of Rom to your phone which are cdma-based.

If you use your stock kernel roms should boot (can't say anything about data/wifi/gsm)

If you want to build your own, look here for a base.:D

And don't forget to backup your rom! It has different libs you may need to use!

You can find CWM for your phone here!

You'll also find a CM7 for your phone to play with ;)

Good luck!
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtmerrick:
Actually, there is a custom recovery. And the hardware is identical to other optimus one variants, except for the radios. So there should be files that correspond to ththe radios that need to be replaced. Now I've never built a ROM before, just tinkered with one, but I don't expect it to be THAT hard to swap out a few files, maybe recompile the kernel.

There are several other CDMA Optimus One variants, I know they're available for sprint and virgin at least. If I keep the stock Verizon kernel how I change a sprint/virgin ROM to be compatible?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobmacek:
Its very easy, just go into the build.prop and change everything that calls for vm670 and change it to vs660 and do the same in the updater script. You'll be able to flash it and use it, but data, calling and sms wont work , you need to swap the telephony files from the same android version, I'm currently porting JB to the vortex

If i Rooted with superoneclick, and do a factory reset. Will it mess up the phone? Thanks for any help
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] -x]Trunks[x-:
It shouldn't since all it does is delete things located in the /data/ partition.

It will remove all applications and settings and you'll have to setup your phone again.

I want to add a custom LED light to my Motorola Xoom, i just need to know where i can solder the LED so that it will turn on when i turn on the screen.
[Hardware Hacking General] showlyshah:
Purpose?
[Hardware Hacking General] Fugitive87:
Make the motorola symbol light up red
[Hardware Hacking General] showlyshah:
Yap, so a single red smd led will do the thing. Will take about 10-20 ma current. You can do it. And want to do it when ever LCD lights up? But I have a personal openion, if u use it in dark, it may cause a distraction.

But instead u may loop a connection from some status indicator led( like those when light up when SMS/ misscall/ charging occurs) that will be a bettr option.

And if u want it ur way, then diss assemble ur phone, disconnect ur LCD,and some where on ur LCD strip, u may find a seperate 2/3 wire connection that goes to LCD backlight, loop out a connection from it( u may loop it from the main board if u can trace the track, it will be better than soldering wires on delicate LCD connector,which will be too risky,and need high precession and practice) then connect the positive point to the base of an npn transistor( smd type will be more suitable,) and connect the collector to the negative of the installing led, connect the positive of the led via 100 ohms( in case ur battery is 3.7v ,else if the voltage is higher u need high value resistor upto 1k but not higher) resistor to the positive of the battery terminal, then connect the emitter of the npn transistor to negative of battery.

If u r not so sound to electronics this may seem too complicated to you, but it is used for the fact that connecting an extra led directly to the LCD backlight led terminals will not dim ur LCD light.

Another option is to directly solder an led to ur soft touch/ hardware button illuminator leds( a slight decrease in light o/p of those led will occur, but it will not cause that much noticeable change. But if it occurs u may use the transistor method).

Hope it may helped u.

Has anyone tried Waze yet??

It has police traps, road hazards, groups, traffic reports, turn by turn navigation and everything! It's like Facebook for driving! Check it out!

https://market.android.com/details?...rch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS53YXplIl0.
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
I tried that and always got an error saying i didn't have enough memory, but i do like that its more of users submitting data to help everyone out with the speed traps and traffic jams
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Never got that issue. What ROM you running?
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
At the time it was Miui, but it was quite a while ago. I'ma try it out again cause i did like it when it would work for me
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Yeah mooey blows. It's worked on Sense and AOSP just fine for me.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Hellua like my Google Maps. But this looks interresting, going to check it out.
[EVO Shift 4G General] HowDoiUseAndroid:
Waze is great for driving, but Google Maps does a lot more than just driving - Favorites, 3D maps, places nearby, find and rate places, Lattitude for friends, etc.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Waze can do all of that minus 3d maps (big woop). I use Waze mainly for the police traps and traffic hazards and reports.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I'll give this a try but I'll still google maps too :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Once you get the hang of Waze the first thing you will do is put it in the same place google maps is on your home screen. ;)
[EVO Shift 4G General] letmeputdatipin:
Damn, tried the app but it does not work in Honolulu, HI. I guess ill have to stick with MAPS, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Let Me Put My Shift In U
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Did you try adding any groups? How does it just "not work" in Hawaii? WTF?
[EVO Shift 4G General] ryocho:
Unfortunately waze won't be replacing google maps for me anytime soon.

For one thing, the routing is horrible. I tested it by driving from home to work, and it's telling me to go on the side streets and through residential areas that probably added 5 miles and 10 min to my commute

I know it's suppose to reroute you to the least traffic route, but the way I take normally to work (major road) barely have any cars in the morning and I am usually at work in 15 min.

Another thing is that it seems to use up more memory than google maps. When I have music playing and waze running, the music would skip once every 30 sec or so. I think it's because waze is updating too often with all the messages people are leaving around the area etc.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
That's strange because I have the exact OPPOSITE problem. It'll put me on the highway instead of taking the sidestreets. Have you checked your navigation settings?

Again the main thing I love about waze is the user reports like police traps and road hazards.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I like this app a lot and will be using it mainly for navigation. The main thing is as long as everyone reports new police traps, traffic ect everything will stay updated :) There isn't really much close by to me since I don't live in a major city but I'll see how it turns out.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Yeah just join as many groups as possible I would say.

You can thank Silicon Valley for this app. I heard about this at my old job from my old boss. It's super mega popular here (like most tech things) and I'm sure the rest of the country will catch on. I'm surprised no one's heard of it yet. Then again I didn't hear of it until a few months ago.
[EVO Shift 4G General] travanx:
I have used this for a while. Its nice except it drains the battery. Its really useful for the commute from los angeles to vegas. The cop warnings are right on.
[EVO Shift 4G General] letmeputdatipin:
I tried everything here in honolulu and it does not even pick up my location! Maybe because I'm in the middle of the PACIFIC!!! Lmao

[EVO Shift 4G General] blakeatl:
This could come in handy. Gonna give it a try.

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------

Pretty neat app. This one will go far.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Sounds like a problem with your GPS not the APP. What does the GPS status APP tell you?

Also you can actually get lots points by creating maps for Hawaii. I saw these threads:

I have installed the EL30 update after going back to stock EC05>EI22. Here is what I have observed about EL30 (I have not applied any other fixes nor rooted yet):

-The upside down horizontal calibration for compass is fixed

-Keyboard lag is gone

-GPS improved from locking only 4 satellites to 6-7 (the GPS Fix I think, could can allow more, upto 9-12 under best conditions), so I think this made be good enough, but balancing power for battery consumption.

-"Android System" service aka CIQ is definitely gone.

-Haven't experienced speaker feedback squeal yet, although I did on EI22 after I had used voicemail and google voice search.

I have installed CWM 5.0.2.7 and rooted. I had to do the CWM flash twice (once to get SU on and open Root Explorer so I could delete the install recovery script, since there's no EL30 Kernel yet that takes out the install-recovery.sh script.

[Epic 4G General] ivcesar:
have you notice any with modem? better signal ? speed anything?

i read that it was causing to lose signal.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I am showing only 2 bars in my house with an Airave when I normally get 4.
[Epic 4G General] rando991:
No, I'm getting about the same signal with my Airave. The wifi looks like more bars than EI22.
[Epic 4G General] MikeEx:
Has the rotation sensor been jerky for you in the past (skymap/yelp/other AR apps) and has EL30 made it smooth again?
[Epic 4G General] f0xblade:
Seems snappier. GPS is definitely better. Had a lock as good as 1m today for a short time while driving around and it was cloudy. 4m was the norm. Will test the modem over the next few days.
[Epic 4G General] sleebus.jones:
Man, if the keyboard skip is fixed and the GPS too, I'll be happier than a dead pig in the sun. The wife and I made a run from Houston to Ft Worth this weekend. I had to pull the battery about 7 times on the trip to get the GPS back on track. Extraordinarily annoying when you are trying to find your way in a place you've never been before.

No OTA here yet, probably will go the manual route. Thanks for the good news on the update, look forward to having a phone I don't have to cuss out all the time!

[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
Preliminary results for me with EL30 modem running EI22 Legendary is: ~7% TWS while at home. I'll report back after a normal day at work and then going home.

With EI22 modem I would average ~3% TWS.

It's a shame I'd have any TWS since I live in a metropolitan area. Stupid Sprint coverage. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
I think a lot of you need to remember that sprint is doing all kinds of stuff to towers lately and other issues may make your signal bars report differently. I'm still on ei22 and while typing this I watched my signal bars go from 0 - 2
[Epic 4G General] notsosmrtgeek:
my battery graph the line is almost like is a nice straight havent seen that in a while i have full bars for wifi and my signal ( airwave) i do have tws but i dont have good coverage like maybe a bar if i am lucky with out the airwave. but no gps lock on

edit: is anyone else have a different phone.apk the main look is the same but when you receive a call?

a few things I've noticed:

GPS has improved

bug where GPS icon remains on screen after GPS has been shut off has been fixed

battery life is considerably worse
[Epic 4G General] mikeregister:
I'm getting horrible GPS I only get like 4 out of 11 fixs and on my way to work this morning which is about 30 miles I kept losing gps would search for sattelites for forever as soon as i closed navigation it would work again for a few minutes then do it again.
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
You may want to try resetting your A-GPS state using GPS Status app in the Market.
[Epic 4G General] rando991:
yes the recieve screen is very different.
[Epic 4G General] rando991:
i've noticed considerably better battery life, but I am rooted and use TiBu for freezing stuff.
[Epic 4G General] rando991:
Yes rotation sensor was upside down starting in EB13 Froyo and has been until EL30. You could fix it though by doing your horizontal calibration upside down. Now you don't have to.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Funny, I was just about to post a little message about my stupidity and battery life.

Since I keep things mostly stock, my upgrade routine was to backup apk/data, and system data in MyBackup, then reflash back to stock EI22, install the EL30 update, do the CWM/root dance, and restore stuff in MyBackup. All went well, but my battery life was about %70 of what it was. For the first 2 days I just figured I was playing with the phone too much, but today I started plowing through the settings. What I found was that even though I had restored everything in MyBackup, not every setting stuck. For instance, Facebook was set to update every hour even though it had previously been set to never update. I also had to re-freeze DRM after the install. There may still be more things I haven't found.

The point is after an upgrade, especially if you have re-installed stuff, go through every setting you can think of that could be killing your battery. It's possible that some app has been inadvertently set to connect too often and that is what is killing the battery too fast.
[Epic 4G General] mikeregister:
That was the very first thing I tried and it hasn't made a difference.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
The EL30 modem blows is my observation. Holding my phone right up to my Airave and I can't get full signal, 3 bars tops. I Odin'd the EC05 modem back in and got full bars 25 feet away from the Airave. I might just stay with the EC05 modem instead of going to EI22.
[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
I prefer your monkey balls analogy. Fortunately for you you got your bars back after odin. I'm back on EC05 and it still stinks. I OTA to EI22 and it still stinks. Like the whole EL30 modem took permanent hold over my modem no matter what version it's on. At least I know I'm not crazy now. I was starting to think Sprint was doing some local tower work or something.
[Epic 4G General] rando991:
WOW! That is NOT what I'm seeing. I've just updated both mine and now my wife's phone to EL30 and we are both getting 6 solid bars from my Airave 3 feet away and now maxed out bars on Wifi on both phones. My results are certainly different than yours????
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Damn! I wish. Really shows EVERY phone is different. I haven't had full bars on wifi since EI22 came out but I am fully loaded on EC05. Maybe my EC05 was bad before the updates. Anyone else? Especially Airave people?
[Epic 4G General] sonarchist:
LOL......ODIN karma :)
[Epic 4G General] rando991:
One thing I'm seeing today is only 4 of 10 satellites on GPS (both phones) whereas yesterday I got 6-7. I wonder if we can run the GPS_fix.zip on EL30?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Should be able to. It just substitutes some lib files.
[Epic 4G General] machx0r:
I'm going to give this a try. The GPS in EL30 seems to lock on quicker/stronger than EI22 but still tends to lock up after a few minutes for me.
[Epic 4G General] mikeregister:
Let me know how that works for you. I may also do it...

I'm still having the same issue with my navigation but it seems to be only on Google Navigation it will lose GPS connection until I turn off the app and turn it back on. But, if I use TeleNav it seems to work fine.
[Epic 4G General] machx0r:
I uninstalled TeleNav so I can't comment on that, although exiting the Google Navigation and coming back in seemed to resolve the problem. In EI22 I had to both exit and disable/enable the GPS location to fix the problem (for a few minutes). Backing up now before installing the "fix".
[Epic 4G General] machx0r:
EL30:

8:26 - Started

8:35 - Searching for GPS...

EL30 + EI22 GPS Fix (Attached):

8:38 - Started

8:58 - Still working...

Not much of a test but it's something. The "fixed" GPS daemon works much better for me.
[Epic 4G General] mikeregister:
Thanks man I'm gonna install that and give it ago on my way to work in the morning [30 miles] if I have no issues then I guess it may have fixed it. Will report back incase anyone else is having the same issue
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
I was having trouble at first after the EL30 upgrade on Google GPS navigation, but after using GPS Status to clear and redownload, GPS connected right away. In other words, I didn't have to reapply the GPS Fix. In fact after 2 trips, one 45 minutes long and the other 1 hour long, GPS was flawless. No freezes, no losing GPS signal, no jumping my location from one street to a different street, and very good accuracy.

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

To be specific, the GPS Fix substitutes the system/vendor/bin/gpsd file and adds system/lib/hw/gps.goldfish.so

All the other files in GPS_Fix have the same md5 as the original EI22 files which are:

system/etc/permisions/android.hardware.location.gps.xml

system/etc/gps.conf

system/hw/lib/gps.s5pc110.so

EL30 only changes the system/vendor/bin/gpsd and leaves all the other files the same from EI22.

After clearing GPS state and re-downloading in GPS Status, GPS has been flawless without having to reapply the GPS Fix.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Just updated the modem, still on EI22 and my signal is a lot better. I get full bars on air rave, regardless of where I am in my apartment. Haven't really tested wifi lately though.
[Epic 4G General] rando991:
Please clarify one thing though, the "system/lib/hw/gps.goldfish.so" was added IN ADDITION TO the "system/hw/lib/gps.s5pc110.so" -- not replaced?
[Epic 4G General] uscpsycho:
So disturbing to hear people are having the same old GPS problems with EL30.

EI22 completely destroyed my GPS and the GPS fix didn't do much. But two or three weeks ago I tried GPS with Wifi and 4G turned off and my GPS has been absolutely rock solid that way. Now I'm reluctant to apply EL30 and risk mucking my GPS back up.
[Epic 4G General] sleebus.jones:
On EI22 I always ran with 4G and WiFi off and the GPS wasn't worth a wet slap. I think your experience is coincidence. FWIW, GPS works fine for me now on EL30.

Still get an occasional keyboard skip tho. :mad:
[Epic 4G General] Mutiny32:
This is just my theory, but a pretty sound one nonetheless.

Your GPS and possibly cell reception issues are likely to be caused the recent CME and the radiation storm hitting Earth right now. It is currently peaking and the NOAA has issued an advisory about possible radio blackout issues.

This would definitely cause weakened GPS reception and can easily cause weaker cellular signal reception.

And for the guy who said he had worse reception when he held his phone directly next to his Airave, OF COURSE you will. There *is* such thing as having too strong of a signal. It causes the SNR to decrease.
[Epic 4G General] mikeregister:
So I can't really say what fixed my GPS issues because I downloaded the fix from my phone and decided to just run it from ROM Manager and accidently checked wipe data. But needless to say my GPS is now working perfectly I get a constant 10/10 or 10/11 lock. So either wiping data or applying the fix did the trick. Now I am fairly please with stock EL30 with root and CWM.
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
Today my cellular radio is going crazy, constantly loosing signal in five bar area. 3G and 4G are all right.

:cool:
[Epic 4G General] poit:
So today I checked my stock EL30 gps and it sees 9 birds, uses 4, and reports a 36 foot accuracy. Yesterday it was seeing 9, using 8 and showing the same accuracy. This behavior makes me wonder why you would need to use more than 4 birds, and if using more increases battery drain.

So, here's a theory to discuss amongst yourselves:

What if the gps driver is designed to only use more that 4 birds if it can't reach the target accuracy with 4 birds. Perhaps it adds locks to additional satellites until it gets an acceptable accuracy level. This would minimize battery drain while maintaining acceptable accuracy. Seems like the number of satellites you would need to get decent accuracy would depend on atmospherics, the actual location of the satellites in their orbits, and local interference. Maybe this driver is smarter than we think.

Again, I have no proof that this is how it works, just observing.
