Location/WiFi

Ever since upgrading my Toro to PA4 I'm having two issues that are causing me some pain, these issues were not present in 3.99.

First issue is the big one, cellular and wifi location don't appear to work at all, if I am inside and attempt to locate myself it will never update (see attachment). It is only when I go outside and hold the phone up like Simba will I finally get some location updates (weather, google maps location, traffic alerts) and have an application be able to determine my location.

I've checked all my location settings and everything is enabled (High Accuracy). I've tried updating my NTP files which helped speed up GPS a little but still it only works outside or when by a window, not exactly functional.

The next issue I've seen mentioned on this post, WiFi not automatically joining networks when in range but turning it off and on fixes it. I've seen this dismissed as a hardware bug but this worked in 3.99, just not in 4+.

I'm using the PA stock kernel, not sure if that's something that I need to change to get these items to work, as I said it was never an issue before PA4. I just did a factory reset this morning and cleared all the caches and still had issues with both of the above. I've filed them as bugs but wanted to see if anyone else had the issues that I'm having. I'm really enjoying KitKat so I don't want to go all the way back to 3.99 but these issues are starting to wear on me.

Love how you mentioned this, I look it up and Google Now now shows me a xda-dev link to a page with the apk.

Just upgraded to BETA5. No problems. Everything smooth as ever. Download from the OTA app was super quick.

Best thing I ever did was upgrade to the latest ROM instead of buying a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killchain:
I think the main reason for Google not to officially support the Galaxy Nexus any more is so that they profit more from selling Nexus 5 and 4.

My Galaxy Nexus hasn't ever been running so smoothly before 4.4. It's not perfect as a new phone would be, but it's the best thing to run on this phone since its inception.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Suo.Eno:
Uhh not really... TI (maker of OMAP SoCs as this here 4460 is) got out of mobile SoC market at that abrupt time, thus signifying the EoL for the necessary sources/drivers. Left Google w/ no choice but to officially nix gnex since where/who else can or are able to push further future Android intervals aside from TI? That being said, apparently GT-I9100G's OMAP 4430 got newer patches just right after Kitkat so that's weird...

On topic, latest beta 5 does xposed well or not? I dislike leaving mobile network on 3g all the time I need xposed to tweak QS or a 2g/3g toggle.

I'm using the PA 4 own quick toggle for network mode (2G, 2G/3G, 3G) since a long time ago. Are you sure you need xposed for that matter?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Suo.Eno:
Well not necessarily but I also use Gravitybox (an xposed module) for some trivial status bar + notification drawer tweaks as well, though might as well that one more wouldn't hurt.

Yes the kernel 3.4 thread I've lurked about here and there, hope that'll pan out.

hey all,

I installed PA ROM latest beta for the first time. Everything is working fine. But I can't find Expanded Desktop or PIE control/Settings. Are those features yet to be implemented?

Paranoid Android Settings Missing in Beta5?

I just flashed Beta5 and I'm a bit perplexed. Nowhere in the Settings do I see the Paranoid Android settings. I was using 3.99 and all was fine. I tried reflashing wiping everything including a format. Done this 3 or 4 times now and the settings just aren't there. The other thing I noticed in case it helps at all, is that after flashing, I'm seeing many of the Google Apps without having installed gapps.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone is able to give.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michierusama:
You need to wipe "system" partition in advanced wipe. And data and cahe and dalvik.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhonnyx:
Settings aren't in the same place as PA 3.99. You should check out a little bit more ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wlld1:
When net traffic arrows will return to status bar? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snsd:
Thanks for the quick response. I did the System wipe as per the previous post and that got rid of all the gapps (though not sure that was necessary.) However, I've looked everywhere and cannot find any Paranoid Android settings other than those on the pull down from the notification bar. What am I missing!? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhonnyx:
When PA team started to work over 4.4, they said they're focusing on a good solid framework to do the edits later.

At the moment, from the old days from PA, we've got PIE that's inside inmersive mode (well, that was the only feature I used from PA 3.X). I'll try to look somewhere or flash beta 5 tomorrow to try and give you a guide on it. Sorry bu that's all I remember ATM. Maybe the other guys can help you while i'm away.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikodr:
If you went to recovery did you press the format factory ? If so then you lost your imei number.It is saved if you have a backup or on the box of your phone. That way if I me I is lost then you don't have any signal.You must recover this imei number.

If you wiped the /factory partition by mistake your only hope is to restore an old nandroid and copy the files from your /radio directory to /factory to fix it.

Just installed it. Everything is working well. Gave hover a test and it's all working. Liking it so far. Could do with it showing up for longer than 3 seconds. Maybe to have it stuck in place until you tap somewhere else of the screen. This feature helps with replying to texts/emails quickly but if it's gone in 3 seconds then it's potentially useless.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikodr:
[MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] regarding the user that formated the /factory partition,if one formats it ,does it mean that it is lost?I mean that since he has the imei on the box of the phone,couldn't he just install stock and go to the efs partition and change the imei with the one on the box?

Or does it mean that once formated all contents of efs are lost for ever and even if you have the imei you cant do nothing?

If that is the case then i suppose cwm recoveries should ban that option from ever appearing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
There are quite a few files in /factory, which is the same as the efs partition. I haven't taken a look but I doubt it's quite as simple as hex editing nvdata.bin with your IMEI, so unfortunately it is pretty permanent.

The CWM device maintainers have really dropped the ball with the partitions thing, especially since with 6.0.4.7 a commit made even more partitions available in the mount/format menu, including the bootloader partitions... :eek:

This also hid /efs partitions on devices where it's named that but not our efs partition, since it is in /factory; all around bad news for newbies who hear "complete wipe" and think that means everything. Wiping the bootloader would of course brick your device, and you'd have to use OMAP Flash.

When I noticed it still hadn't been resolved in 6.0.4.8, I made use of some properties CWM added that can hide items from the mount/format menu, and did it myself. Those builds are available in my CWM thread, so I strongly advise everyone to upgrade to them.

There is one other option for efs recovery. A couple other users who didn't have backups ended up sending it to get repaired and the Samsung technicians were able to properly restore a working efs with the original IMEI. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark.m.moran:
I would love to know this as well! Especially since I restored back to stock and even then I can't see an EFS folder at all.....or maybe I'm not looking in the correct place!?

Thanks,

M

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killchain:
My experience says that it shouldn't be necessary. If you want a new kernel with your current ROM, just reboot into recovery, flash the kernel, wipe cache & dalvik cache and reboot.

Otherwise, a ROM image contains a kernel, so flashing a ROM means flashing its default kernel as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michierusama:
Or you can just use trickster mod and backup your kernel (stock one from the rom) and restore anytime you want it and reboot.

Yup. I read many comment about how stable in PA 4.3 BETA. I have to say, it's absolutely STABLE,no battery drainging issue, no system ui FC and no SOD or hot reboot.
