Camera GPS icon

Users of beta version, I'd like to ask you a question.

On some versions, when you start Camera app, there is icon for GPS in left upper corner. So user always knows if accurate GPS position (Geo tagging) is written to exif.

But on some versions that icon is missing. (But in background GPS tries to lock.)

What is the behavior on that icon on 4.3.

If it is not present, randomblame, could you please please implement this.

You'll get your beer this week, as promised. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
Randomblame, I am concerned about all this beer, which can't be good for development work and family relations! I would rather contribute to some flowers for your understanding wife and presents for your kids! Contribution being sent.

I've noticed as well that the battery drains really fast. 5h30m and only 30%...

Beta 2 for more than 6 hours and no forced reboot until now. Screen rotation and acc. working. This looks great from my perspective.

YouTube video's are not yet playing though.

In stock camera, option location is switched on but no icon during photo taking. Photo does have a location tag so it works.
[Desire HD Android Development] alpha007org:
Battery drain

I was asking for volunteers regarding governor tweaking. I was firstly tweaking interactive but then I realized that with this governor I cannot lower usage while screen off.

So I went to smartassV2. I have tweaked this governor so Sportstracker while screen off use only 50 mA (30mA is achievable - it is default with ARHD) instead 200+ mA with default interactive governor which comes with this ROM.

I would need some volunteers because I can tweak smartassV2 to my usage pattern but for other people it might be laggy or even drain battery faster.

What I achieved:

Default: Sportstracker + Music + Screen Off = 300mA (a little less)

My smartassV2: 190mA.

But it is laggy when I wake the device especially if there are background apps running.

However battery lasts A LOT longer.

---

So to make my version of tweaked smartassV2 available to other I need to know about init.d - was asking on previous page.

If we would achieve good results, I would hope randomblame will include these settings in default ROM installaton. Or at least settings for smartass, but leave interactive governor as default.

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

Alternative is to include O/C Daemon in ROM. Or some other method to distinguish screen on and screen off and to governor act accordingly.

I don't know why, but if I use SetCPU and enable profiles, my phone is not stable anymore. This is either without OC or with 1.2GHz.

I think the best would be to leave interactive as default governor but use different settings for screen off/on. That would be - I my opinion - the best possible scenario. A little less battery for same snappy phone.

For this, I would need to know about init.d scripts and how to implement screen change event, which is it (off or on) and then use settings accordingly.

As for now, ROM's default, interactive governor's settings are good for responsiveness (could be better) but it clocks CPU very high during screen off even on low load.

---

Information about current/default governor behavior I got from Battery Monitoring Widget and System Tuner Pro and could immediately see that there's a lot of room for improvement.

Using Beta 2 for a day or so now after switching from PAC. Obviously I did a full wipe before.

Two things I've noticed (they've been mentioned before): Battery drains a little quicker and Youtube videos aren't playing.

Thanks though, seems to be really smooth so far!
[Desire HD Android Development] Soundy106:
Checked the contacts on the antenna? I think it's the one under the battery cover... make sure the traces on the cover are clean.
[Desire HD Android Development] king martin 1976:
Any reboots on this ROM? I'm keen to try 4.3. Are there many improvements from 4.2.2?
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
No, the antenna contacts are under the flash light cover. To get this up you need a thin, slightly bent metal rod, which is inserted through the battery compartment and a thin piece of plastic to help praise up the cover without damaging it. If you google this, you will probably find the Your Tube guide to doing this. Worth making the tool out of a thin metal rod by bending up the very tip by 3 - 4 mm. Worked well for me.
[Desire HD Android Development] nacymex:
One thing you can try is do a full wipe, install a stock Rom for your device, full wipe, reinstall this Rom. From what I have read switching between roms may cause some firmware issues and reinstalling a stock one helps make sure all works well.
[Desire HD Android Development] maxxjaxx:
Green effect on Cam Pic :cyclops:
[Desire HD Android Development] Wekkel:
No reboots until now. Battery life indeed a bit less than under 4.2.2 or Beta 1 it seems. Now playing with 149 MHz as lowest CPU speed in Smartassv2 governor.

i dont have any gsm on my Desire HD..

restarted 10 times -> no go

but respect youre work -> really fast updates :good:
[Desire HD Android Development] dreamland2000:
I have used the Fresh Network app from the market and my signal is actually better than when I was using an ICS rom.

Amazing work!

Edit - Ok maybe not then lol, it held and gave me better signal but after a few mins the network dropped out.
[Desire HD Android Development] :
Thanks for your help.

My problem is that i dont have any signal.

its like in alpha 2 version.

battery wiever is wrong.

on phone jellybean ive got 50%

on recovery 7%, so be careful :o
[Desire HD Android Development] :
Yes of course.
[Desire HD Android Development] dreamland2000:
I am using Alpha 5 so may be worth updating the ROM you have, just make sure to do a full wipe.
[Desire HD Android Development] johrie:
I don't have root.. how can I fix this?
[Desire HD Android Development] :
ok a lil bit clarification:

Ive got Desire HD.

I flashed Alpha 2 yesterday, tested.

But because of gsm i deleted again flashed IceCold back.

Today i saw Alpha 5 so i did full wipe and flashed Alpha5.

But gsm doesnt work for me in Alpha 5 too.
[Desire HD Android Development] BBuZZ:
Hey guys, got a problem here. My DHD has broken volume buttons, and i've been entering recovery mode via quick boot.. I wanted it to try JB, but i'm afraid of getting bootloop or something.. Is there a way of entering recovery without the volume buttons?
[Desire HD Android Development] :
flash this:

http://download.chainfire.eu/204/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip
[Desire HD Android Development] starkilling:
adb reboot recovery

But if the phone is off, I don't think so.
[Desire HD Android Development] :
i dont suggest you flashing this firmware.

it doesnt have Reboot options.

And also no root.
[Desire HD Android Development] dreamland2000:
It seems a mobile network is being held on mine until I make a phone call then I lose it. SMS works fine and I keep the network. I haven't tried what happens when I receive a call yet.

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

Once you get the SU running you can use the ROM Manager to boot into recovery.
[Desire HD Android Development] BBuZZ:
But how do i use adb on DHD if I'm in a bootloop.. i have DHD for about a week.. I traded it for an Optimus Black.
[Desire HD Android Development] Quinny899:
Plug it into your PC. It will work
[Desire HD Android Development] starkilling:
I think you should wait out a couple of versions until the bootloop issue is ironed out.
[Desire HD Android Development] BBuZZ:
Man I wanted it so much..... :-( .....
[Desire HD Android Development] 13770147:
awesome.

u r really quick to update ur rom.
[Desire HD Android Development] :
Special tutorial for you (my volume key is also broken)

1. first of all do a full wipe

2. flash alpha 5

3. flash http://download.chainfire.eu/204/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip

-> so you got root acces

4. reboot your phone -> dont connect anywhere otherwise you will have bootloop

-> it will take long

5. it should work perfect -> you will not have acces to recovery through on/off menu

-> for this use rom manager or quickboot
[Desire HD Android Development] Black1982:
Thanx for the explanation!

Strange thing:

I can seen WIFI networks in my area, but just not mine. Not even when I'm right next to it. Was the same on version 2. On icecold and other ROMs my WIFI works fine. Other phones and computers can see it.

I have Belkin 2.4 Ghz 802.11g Wireless G router that I use as an access point connected to my adsl router. I have reset the router but no effect.

I also cant seem to save an AP so there is no data connection for me at the moment. Any tips?
[Desire HD Android Development] randomblame:
I think I just saw a patch to fix that
[Desire HD Android Development] yolo2die:
I didn't see a patch...but looked around and something to do with rotator, the setting....that part is beyond me....I may be wrong

If you find something...more than willing to test

GPS

Holy ****! GPS freaken rocks now! Was on Existz aospX and GPS was awesome but this locks so much faster and doesn't lose positioning! Tested for over 120 miles today! Waze crashes though but that is an app incompatibility, not the ROM

@randomblame

Not sure this helps but if you disable hardware overlays in developer options....no more overlay errors...but not sure if that helps you get closer to a resolution or narrow it down? Again I may be way off base on this
[Desire HD Android Development] Crithian:
So far so good. Smooth, haven't had resets. Some games still not working but not on my priority list lol. If anything pops up I'll let ya know.

GPS antenna is under the flash light cover.
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
Only on the picture the moment after you take it - look at it in Gallery and you will see there is no green tint!
[Desire HD Android Development] Soundy106:
Flash cover has the GPS antenna. As I recall, the battery cover has the WiFi and BT antenna, and the GSM antenna is in the SD/SIM cover.
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
Sorry, I thought that was what he was writing about. GPS antenna is indeed under the flash light cover, but the wifi antenna does not appear to be in the sim card cover. Romove this cover and the GPRS signal disappears ,but the wifi signal is maintained. It would seem that the wifi antenna is a separate couple of wires running along the left hand edge inside the case and not easily accessible.
[Desire HD Android Development] KalZakath:
Questions to beta 2 users - is the bug with shortcuts on lockscreen is still there? What is wrong with movies on yt? Any solutions with lack of sounds in incall?
[Desire HD Android Development] elnombre32:

[Desire HD Android Development] randomblame:
ok next I'll fix audio. logs would be helpful because I do not have a sim card that will fit in this thing anymore it's been cut down to micro size for my n4
[Desire HD Android Development] alpha007org:
This is not a good idea. Setting CPU too low (like 149MHz) will actually drain battery a tiny bit faster. Thats because thread is started on 149 MHz then governor must scale up. We are talking about 0.002%.

But other side effect is losing a little smoothness when CPU is in idle or deep sleep and then when it needs to wake up and start some thread, starting low CPU speed takes more time to calculate started thread. 245MHz as lowest freq is recommended. Almost all governors are setup as min freq 245 and it scales up accordingly.

Then there is voltage. 149 and 245 have probably same voltage and when CPU is running at 245, it takes just a little bit more power then 149. 0.2% difference.

So setting MIN CPU Speed too low is BAD IDEA.
[Desire HD Android Development] maxxjaxx:
video recordin don't seems to work ....any1 having such problem?
[Desire HD Android Development] Maxxy13:
Here you go: http://pastebin.com/KXNdA4sq

All system sound is getting killed by an incoming call. Fixed by reboot.

There is also a FC when trying to adjust brightness via Settings->Display->Brightness->Settings->Adjust.

Thank you for your work. 4.3 on our aged phones looks very cool.
[Desire HD Android Development] brantje:
With android 4.3 (and maybe 4.2), there is an bug that causes disconnection and battery drain. It appears to happen with similar cards from virtual providers.

It is explained here translate.google.nl/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=tweakers.net/nieuws/90867/bug-in-android-43-op-nexus-4-laat-mobiel-signaal-wegvallen-en-accu-leeglopen.html

Just flashed beta2 over beta1. Things seem fine for now, but all the icons on my Nova homescreens have changed to the green android default image. The app is there, and if I click the icon, the app opens, but the image of all my icons have gone defaulting to the green android icon.

ANy suggestions?
[Desire HD Android Development] randomblame:
wipe first
[Desire HD Android Development] MidnightJava:
I think randomblame said he didn't include Nova launcher in the ROM. So you may need to download and install Nova. Or use Trebuchet with the old ROM before you flash beta 2 and restore apps?
[Desire HD Android Development] gogsy1975:
Great ROM random. :good: Something really bother me beside everything mentioned above. Returning from airplane mode 2 normal mode, cellular network not turning back ON. I've tryed after that manually couple of times and the same... only restart resolve problem...
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
The battery cover is only a close circuit contact to ensure the compartment is closed before the phone will switch on. The WIFI antenna is a couple of wires inside the case on the left hand edge.

---------- Post added at 05:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 AM ----------

Sounds good! (intended) :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Soundy106:
You might think so... but try wedging a little piece of paper under the battery to hold it in, then power the phone up without that cover. You'll notice it starts up fine, and WiFi signal is almost nil. Now snap the cover on and watch your WiFi strength jump up.
[Desire HD Android Development] lordaccess:
Actually i once lost the cover by mistake the phone wont start. What i did was put my finger on the metal flaps that are supposed to be connected the cover is closed and it worked. You kinda use your body as a connector.
[Desire HD Android Development] Soundy106:
No, the problem is that the battery doesn't stay solidly against its contacts without the cover. Do what I suggested and see for yourself: hold the battery all the way in and wedge a folded piece of paper under it to keep it in... then power up the phone. It WILL power up, and you'll have very low WiFi strength.
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
I agree that closing the contacts of the battery lid is not required for the phone to work, as long as the battery remains pressed to the contacts at the back. You can hold it in with a wedge of paper or even temporarily with your finders and the phone will work. I also agree that the signal is stronger with the battery cover in place. It is strange that no one supplies replacement battery covers as a replacement wifi antenna, but some suppliers supply the two wires and tools to assist with their replacement.

Edit - Found some E-bay suppliers selling replacement battery covers, which are also stated to be antenna aerials. Touche, Mr. Pussycat!
[Desire HD Android Development] Wekkel:
Meanwhile, 24 hours on Beta2 and still no forced reboot. I consider this issue fixed.

No more messages that Google location stopped.

Battery life is a bit worse than regular but I can manage.
[Desire HD Android Development] lordaccess:
I use on screen off to use from 245/614 Mhz CPU and it makes a difference... have you tried it? Although I do use a high capacity battery 2450...

Yes, but not the latest official from HTC. I use the HTC WWE version and never had problems with GPS or WiFi.

[Desire HD Android Development] onesolo:
Ok guys, still on 4..2.2 R11, update that only a few weeks ago... my wife has the DHD now...

From time to time, the phone reboots and then the touch simply doesn't work!! One has to remove the battery 2 or 3 times to touch work again!!

Any ideas to fix that??

Other than that, 4.2.2 rocks!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
That happened on Mustaavalkosta's unofficial CM10.1 ROM as well around the time R11 was released. Hopefully Randomblame will release another further / final 4.2.2 ROM using the latest CM10.1 source which should correct these problems, for those that don't / can't upgrade to 4.3 (CM10.2)
[Desire HD Android Development] g-banjo:
It would, indeed, be good to get a final release for 4.2.2 but I'm not holding my breath.

I think there is a basic problem when developers don't have the particular phone they are developing for: as the ROM gets closer to being finalised the ratio of amount of time needed vs the smallness of the improvements achieved gets increasingly harder to maintain and it is tempting for the developer to just abandon the task and start a new project instead. Fortunately there are sometimes other developers who can take over the reins.

:)
[Desire HD Android Development] beddo:
Buggered!

Hi folks,

My DHD has been running R11 for a while without issues (other than the battery life randomly hammering itself after a few days until the phone is rebooted).

Yesterday I cam back from a week away and tried to boot my phone up after landing at the airport and it is having none of it.

I get the JellyTime logo on screen with the "pulsing" for a while. The pulsing then stop and the logo remains on screen indefinitely.

If I go into CWM I can move up and down the first menu. If I select any option I see the next menu for a split second before the phone reboots.

If I have an SD card in, it sometimes goes into the bootloader instead of CWM and tries to reflash a radio update that I forgot to delete of the SD card. That has only happened a few times and I can't reliably replicate it.

I have no micro SD reader to access the card outside of the phone.

Once I managed to get into CWM and all menus worked. I ran a backup to the SD card then wiped the cache. Rebooted and haven't been able to get back to CWM.

Any suggestions? Is it more likely that the phone is knackered than a ROM issue? If so I just need to get it to a state where I can send it back (or fry it completely...). I have the carrier RUU to do it, I'm just not sure how to get it to a point where I can install it!

Phone is both s-off and eng-off
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
Randomblame does have an Inspire, it's just not his main phone - great for development as he doesn't need to have it in a working condition every day. He is rightly concentrating on getting 4.3 to work on our device at the minute and 4.2 is being ignored. If he can get 4.3 to a stable release, R1 for 4.3 then it will be great to see and I would doubt if we ever get an update to 4.2, but since CyanogenMod are still making minor updates to 4.2. If Randomblame is unable to fix the bugs in 4.3 quickly it would be nice to see R11 updated to R12 at some stage with those updates and hopefully remove the remaining bugs in it. For the time being I'm glad to see him working on 4.3. When 4.2 became stable it was more bug free than 4.1 ever was. I would expect the same to happen with 4.3, a stable release of it to be more bug free than 4.2.
[Desire HD Android Development] Wekkel:
R11 4.2 was rock, rock, rock solid for me. The only reason to try 4.3 for me was the nerd factor. Not saying that your problems with R 11 are only outliers, but I consider R11 quite finished as a 4.2 ROM.
