Hello guys

I tried multiples guides to reset, donwload, restart the aGPS of the Galaxy Nexus.

Put away the battery, wait put back, change kernel, change radio, change ROM.

I don't know anymore what to do.

The fast is the my GNex most of the times takes too many minutes to sinc, once in a while it sincs in 5 sec...but 90% of the times it takes from 3 to 8 minutes.

Do you have any other idea?

At the moment I have the AOKP maguro milestone 5 with the franco kernel milestone 3 and the latest baseband I9250UGLC1.

I really hope that you have some suggestion because I really need a more responsive GPS for my business trips.

Thank you very much for your time

Regards,

Matteo

Its a Samsung thing I think.

Just make sure the phone has a clear line of sight with the sky and that's about all you can do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt30:
I'm going to assume English isn't your first language.

The GPS system is a low power system. GPS satellites transmit about 50 bits per second of almanac information. The almanac is a map of the satellites in orbit around earth. If you have a clear connection with only one sat, it would take nearly 12 minutes to download the entire almanac (less time as you connect to more sats, obviously). A gps receiver can decrease the time to connect by downloading the almanac from another location (i.e. via the cell network) or extrapolating from a previous almanac based on the time since the last lock.

Since you can occasionally connect within seconds. It's probably not a problem with the rom or your phone. Make sure you have a clear view of the sky, a good cell signal, and decrease the time between using your GPS to get a faster connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ilcontegis:
First of all apologies for the English. It is indeed true that English is my third language, but I must acknowledge that the previous message was really badly written (I wrote that message in a really cowled train going to Tokyo...)

Thank you for your answers

I fully understand what you are saying also because using GPS is part of my job.

However in this case I am pretty sure the problem is hardware/software based.

Same situation different lock times according to the phone used, that's pretty strange to me.

I tried to use 2 phones: Galaxy Nexus (GN) and Nexus One (N1).

Condition: cloudless sky no high buildings around

GN: 8 minutes

N1: 5 sec

Condition: raining (under an umbrella)

GN: 5 minutes

N1: 11 sec

Condition: Cloudy in the middle of Tokyo

GN: 6 sec

N1: 7 sec

Condition: Inside the train

GN: 12 minutes

N1: 13 sec

There are many posts complaining about the GN's GPS, but unfortunately none of the solutions provided helped me.

Thank you for your time,

I hope this time my English will be more understandable.

Regards,

Matteo

Is your APN protocol IPv6 by any chance?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
My GPS seems to work just fine. I've cleared AGPS once with the "GPS Test" app just for fun but it all seemed good before/after.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daTranquil:
On my GN I get a first fix very fast if internet is available. But you are right that GPS isn't as good as on my old NexusOne. For me it is useless for navigation inside a car. Fix is not stable and far away from being accurate. Now all my hope is on the S3.

Thank you for your answers

Nope is IPv4

I did that several times, nothing changes

I am not planning to change again my GN...I am just very pissed off that a 500€ (when I got it few months ago that was the price) device, is not working perfectly.

That's so disappointing....

No one has any further suggestions I could try?

Thank you for your kind assistance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saltyteabag:
I noticed my GNex took a long time to get a GPS fix too. GummyROM and Cyanogen seemed to be a lot better than stock for me.

You may want to try installing an app called GPS Monitor. If you allow it root access it can make your GPS get a fix much quicker.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ilcontegis:
Hi, thanks for your answer.

Where did you find that app? It does not exist on the market. Are you sure that the official name is "GPS monitor"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saltyteabag:
Yes, it is in the market, you just have to scroll down a bit to find it. There are 2 versions: "GPS Monitor Free" and "GPS Monitor Premium". You may need the premium version, I have never tried the free one.

Just wondering how, (or if it's even possible) to make the clockwork recovery rom store it's backups on the external sd. I'd like to keep a couple of complete backups always available on my device, and my internal drive only holds a measly 8 gigs.

If it helps, I'm using Entropy's Daily Driver release for the Galaxy Player 5 (YP-G70)

You can use root explorer to move it to your external sd card

hey. sorry for bumping old thread. i have the same problem. no idea when that happened but the error is quite annoying to me. any helps on this? :/ thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Shree.bhagwat:
Hi

Greetings

Give us your bootloader details

And what problem you have?

And what you did that you are stuck in problem?
[HTC Sensation] shaun3010:
i encountered the problem of corrupted theme of 4ext. im not sure how it happened. maybe because i flashed CM10.1 then returned back to ViperS ICS? not sure bout that. its not really a problem but its quite annoying to press okay every time i boot into recovery. hehe
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Does the rom boot? If so just use the 4ext app to flash a new theme. That should overwrite whatever is corrupted. If that doesn't work reflash the recovery entirely. You can do that from the app too.

If that doesnt work comeback with a more detailed description of exactly what you get.
[HTC Sensation] shaun3010:
yeap. the rom did boot up. hmm. how doo i do that from the app? which app? or there's an app for 4ext?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
There is an app for 4ext. Its available for download on the play store. Its an absolute must have app if you use 4ext recovery. It makes life so much easier.
[Hardware Hacking General] Akdor 1154:
Hi guys,

I often use my phone as a tuner for bass guitar, which generally works well. I was wondering though, to be able to tune while unamped, if I could head down to Jaycar (Aussie radioshack!), grab a TRRS socket, and whip up something like:

---Phone---

┌────[T] -Audio L
├────[R] -Audio R
| ┌─[R] -Mic
| | [S] -Ground
| |
| |
| |

[*] | -Somehow wire this so the phone still uses its own speaker
|
|
├─[T] -- Bass guitar direct Hi-Z output
|
└─[T] -- Amp input (so this is effectively wired in parallel with the phone's mic input)

[Ground wires not drawn for clarity]

So, two questions to the more electronically adept than I:

1) can I do this without issues? Will my phone/amp crack the ****s if their inputs are wired in parallel?

2) Is there some way I can wire the connection to the phone's audio OUTPUT such that it believes there is no speaker/headphone connected, and use its own speaker? I have an HTC Desire Z, (i.e. T-Mob G2 for the yanks) if that makes any difference.
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
Don't short the left and right audio output.

The phone can probably take it, but there is no point to it.

The mic line probably has a few volts floating on it to power the microphone.

Plugging a guitar into that will do no harm to anything,

however, if you chain directly through to your amp, unplugging your guitar hot will make a mega-thump.

It might be better to put a 0.1 uF capacitor in series with the mic line.

Most phones use a single switch in the headset jack to detect insertion.

To use the internal speaker while using an external mic will require some sort of software hack/mod/app.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Power2112:
So I was an idiot and tried to capture a few quick pics of the Sun tonight at the beginning of the solar eclipse. I knew pointing the Note's camera directly into the sun was risky, but thought I'd see if it would work, and only took 4 super-quick photos.

Unfortunately, it was enough to fry the lens, and now whenever I use the camera on any type of light, solid-colored background, the center of the image has a light brown-ish hue. Taking pictures of normal day-to-day things, I'm sure I probably won't notice, but still...I'm anal about these types of things and knowing it's there is going to drive me crazy.

So, all of the "ZOMG - WTF were you thinking n00b!?" comments aside, what options are there? Are there repair shops out there that can replace these lenses? I'm assuming a replaced lens would fix it. Is this part something I can order and replace myself?

I bought it at Best Buy, and I'm beyond my 30 day warranty, so even if I wanted to be a weasel and try that route, I couldn't. Can Best Buy, or even ATT fix these? (I highly doubt it, but thought I'd ask).

Thanks in advance.

As for burning out...just as with looking directly into the sun with your eye can cause damage to the retina, same holds true with a CCD or CMOS camera lens.

Without proper filtering, you can destroy the light sensing elements.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnus:
Every Note I've had and used has the same issue, without pointing it at the sun. But honestly mine was in the grass basically pointed directly at the sun for hours yesterday, and there's nothing wrong with it (other than the existing colored spot like yours has).

Are you absolutely sure this problem is new? Are you sure you're not just being over-sensitive all of a sudden and noticing it for the first time and attributing it to the sun because you did something out of the ordinary?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
You still have a year warranty on the phone...call up ATT and have them send you out a new phone. Consider this a lesson learned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Power2112:
Thanks for the response guys, and for the links. That gives me something to think about. I'm hesitant to replace the phone, since I replaced it once already to try to resolve the Black Crush problem (which did fix 90% of it). I'd hate to get a replacement that has that bad problem again. I'd rather live with a bad camera, if you know what I mean. ;)

And definitely lesson learned.

Johnus - I've used my camera quite a bit and not once noticed that problem. I can't say for 100% certain that it didn't exist before, but being anal with these types of things like I am, I'd have to say I'm at least 99% sure it wasn't there previously. I'll leave that 1% open because I'm a man, and according to women, men are always wrong. ;)

It's really unknown, but the short answer is: no.

These leaks are unofficial, you can't roll back to 181 to receive OTAs, and some have speculated that you could be taken off the update/upgrade path for good. If this leak is going to be the OTA, you're better off waiting.

Once you have downloaded it you can go to your cache folder and move the update to your SD card. Then just change the server back to moto production server or something like that and reboot. May take 1 or 2 times but it will switch back.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] krazie1:
@snowrider0985 you have to delete the update if downloaded from the /cache folder using rootexplorer. Delete these files:

Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.crc

Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip

&

download.apk (if you see it in /cache too)

Then reboot your phone
[Motorola Droid RAZR] snowrider0985:
I never downloaded the update. I have root explorer. Is the cache folder on the first root explorer page?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krazie1:
@snowrider0985 YES or try uninstalling the cheesecake.apk and reinstalling it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] snowrider0985:
I tried that to. It seems like it won't change back to the original server. If I click check for updates though the settings on the phone it still asks if I want to setup a motorola account. In the cache folder there are no files just to folders, lost and found and recovery? Any ideas would a factory restore work?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krazie1:
@snowrider0985 Ok did you wipe cache in recovery? If you did then i cant think of anything else and would just say "yes" do a factory reset.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] snowrider0985:
Well i'm gonna try a factory reset wiping the cache didn't work either.
