GPS

Not sure what the problem is with gps.

I got this phone for myself and tried every fix under the sun to sort it out. (have not fiddled with bits of wire though for antennae), dont think that is the problem to be honest.

Eventually gave up and bought a bluetooth gps unit off ebay for very little money which gives accuracy to 16 feet.

My wife loved this phone so i ordered her one.

Gps worked perfectly straight out of the box locking 9 sats.

Mine is rooted. Hers is not.

Has anyone tried the gps prior to rooting / flashing ?
[Android General] androidia:
Thanks I was just about to ship it back to China then. A bit of cheap design though but other aspects of the phone make up for lack of. LED. Only thing left now is the other annoying gps issue...
[Android General] amd3000:
Other Stuff

Here are a couple of things that may be of interest in general.

1) If you copy your contacts to the phone, and use them instead of Google synced ones you seem to get a more stable sms service using Handcent or stock. They send faster.

2) if you want decent caller images for incoming calls you need to A: assign a quality image to your caller from gallery. B: enter both forms of mobile number in your phone based address book as separate mobile entries.

Example ... for UK ... one entry should be +44 and other entry should be regular 07 prefix without the international +44 code.

Not sure why this works but it does. You then get quality caller images when someone calls you. Or if you don't assign an image you just get the callers ID as laid out in your address book.

Hope some of this is of interest.

You may be right l was too quick to root the phone without trying it out properly first. Do you think flashing back the system zip and rom zip on the first page will be the phone back to factory settings?
[Android General] ahmadcentral:
No i tried GPS before rooting and custom rom and it did not work. It works much better now that i've played around with fixes but it still isn't accurrate enough for sat nav use.
[Android General] androidia:
I think the problem is not with the weak gps signal, I'm sure it is gps configuration within the rom. I used to own mtk6575 x310e with the same gps issue eventually after trying several custom rom, I came across a rom that doesn't have the problem. I will try mixing system zip of that rom with this phone tonight and see if I can get it to flash and work. I will report back if successful.
[Android General] ahmadcentral:
Thanks for your help here my friend! :good:

Let us know how everything goes.
[Android General] androidia:
I am not sure if people have tried this, l am currently using Spain beta 2 rom, you can Google it if you dont know about Spain beta 2 rom. There is gps fix zip for it which I tried and worked really well. I got gps lock within a minute or two and stayed locked throughout the car navigation. It does jump a little bit but correct itself quickly. Am not sure if this will work on normal custom rom... But it worth a try. The zip file is just to be flashed via Cwm and then change through settings your a-gps is selected and epo is selected also.

1 Put zip file on to your sd card

2 boot into recovery (Volume up + power)

3 and flash

Link to the zip below

hi i have my phone rooted using

[Android General] Bnaya:
Hey, i have few problems:

My current status:

I've got the phone

flashed the 2.5G updated and formated the /data partition.

flashed the CWM.

My issues are:

* When i'm trying to access the CWM recovery with the hardware keys (vol up + home + power)

its only getting into the stock recovery.

i can access the CWM recovery only from the rom manager app menu "reboot into recovery"

* The stock recovery not properly functional (even before the flashing). i can move up and down on the menu with the vol buttons but i can't select any option from the menu, the home button and the power button are't doing a thing, and if i want to turn off the phone i need to remove the battery.

* CWM recovary issues with the SD card.

Because i flashed the 2.5G update, the phone memory is only 83 MB and the CWM works only with it.

So i can't make backups or copy big zip updates files. I have micro SD card but the CWM can't use it. is there a way to tell it to use the micro sd card?

* GPS - the gps can't get a lock for now, but i havn't tried the fixes yet

That all for now, every information will be helpful!

Thanks.
[Android General] bvb09kingz:

B92M Hard Bricked

Hi Guys,

I need help unbricking my phone, I did something foolish, i flashed a different MTK 6577 rom to my B92M thinking it should work becuase to phones have similar hardware, but now my phone will not turn on at all, my laptop does not even recognise the phone so l cannot go to bootloader to reflash the phone, i will appreciate if any one have any idea on how to unbrick, i only have the phone 3 days. I have read about using USB Jig but this only seems to work with Samsung phones, i havent tried it yet though. Any comment would be appreciated.....

Return on original partition...

Hi.

Please how to return on original partition before 2.5Gb-data-perm-root ?

I have to restart in recovery mode and format data ?

After this requires recovery img of rom beta2 ? Is this correct ?

I ask this because I'm trying to install a game of 97 Mb and the phone are stopping and exit to the game.

I think it's caused by 84 Mb of internal memory...

For this reason I tried to return of original partition with the 2 Gb of internal memory.

I have added a 32Gb of micro Sd, but the game not install his downloadable file to external ram.

The download is automatically with the load of the game !!!

Please tell me a solution to return in original partition of phone exactly before of 2.5Gb-data-perm-root.

There are a risk to Brick ? :confused:

Ather question is the GPS with the low signal, the fix is very rare !!!

I worked myself to the whole thread.

Can i conclude that the B92M is a fantastic phone but till today:

1. GPS is not fixed and bad

2. Rooting is easy, but other ROM's are not found (like ROMs for my HD2)

I wanted to give myself a christmas present but i am not sure now.
[Android General] Unseul:
New to the forum, but tracking this topic with interest as I've ordered two of these phones (one for myself, one for the wife). I intend to play with mine a lot. And apparently as a new user, I can't post links...

In response to your questions/issues.

Rom - Movies dual sim is a spanish forum with a rom, it was mentioned earlier in this thread, that a lot of people seem to be reporting success with, apparently also improves the GPS a bit.

And the GPS - frandroid, French forum (Danyc who posts here is apparently a real DIY guy!), have a make your own antenna guide, the results posted having made an antenna are very impressive, and perhaps confirm that all you really need to do is create your own. If you search xda b92m in google, the frandroid thread is the 2nd one in the list that I see.

Dany, if you read this, I'm following your antenna construction thread, and right now, you seem to suggest using the ground plate as a reflector, but not as a ground plate. It is not connected to the antenna, is this correct? Do you find the results sufficiently good? Orefie's antenna appears to work extremely well, an is connected with both the copper and ground plate.
[Android General] danycmoi:
Hello

The mass plan serves as reflector, he does not have to be to link with the mass of the telephone.

This is what I made

Material :

For the antenna, a small brass sheet, 35x20 mm, allu that has to walk also, sticky automobile, or adhesive tape doubles face.

For the reflector / mass plan, a plate of metal, 0.5mm of thickness 45x30 mm.

Cut also a small tongue of 5x25mm, to connect(bind) our antenna with the antenna of B92.

Some teflon, of double face, of the chattertone.

Here is the realized do-it-yourself:

1/to Stick the copper antenna at the bottom of the back hood, (rectangle brass sheet(leaf) sticky automobile)

2/to Put a connection, isolated in the teflon, which is going to assure the contact with the antenna of origin. It is necessary to have to scratch the antenna of origin to put the copper has nude, It is necessary to go there slowly

3/to Put on the copper antenna a cardboard piece or a Canson drawing paper, for the good to isolate him(it).

4/to Put and to Scotch-tape the reflector mass plan, isolated in the teflon, good isolating HF, he completely has to cover the antenna.

5/to Close, by verifying that the contact does well at the level of the antenna of origin.

Results after do-it-yourself of antenna :

Thanks to Oréfie and Leb49

Any improvement will be welcome

Excuse my English, if the one of you want to redo the translation.

Dany
[Android General] GT35pro:
I would appreciate it if someone can do a good translation.
[Android General] Unseul:
Dany,

Your method seems safer than Orefies method, because there is no need to remove the old antenna. But Orefie's method with attaching the ground plate, gave very good results.

Perhaps a better size for the antenna? GPS signals are usually around 19-24cm wavelengths apparently. And quick reading suggest we want half the wavelength (or slightly under). So 9.5-10cm (for the copper) is a good size. Maybe with the right size, your antenna will do everything needed, and people to not have to remove the old antenna like Orefie (much safer). So maybe try with a much larger antenna?
[Android General] danycmoi:
No, Oréfie does not link the mass plan with the mass of B92.

He(It) links simply the plait of mass of the coaxial thread with the mass of the telephone, the other part is not connected with the mass of the reflector.

It to avoid interférencesn the thread being a little bit long.

Dany
[Android General] Unseul:
Just another thought. The reflector should be below the antenna (logically anyway). Normally the face of the phone will be on an upwards angle. This means the reflector should be against the case, and the receiver nearest to the battery. Instead of making these changes, perhaps try to see how good a signal you get when the phone is screen down, as opposed to screen up?

Upon running the fix/update, you may still have Chinese SMS (unlike I said earlier), check if you I still have this process running:

com.android.caivs.app (100k app and 4k data).

Then disable it from starting (using for example this tool : All-In-One Toolbox)!!

That's it, no more junk.

Don't forget to install another SMS client (from Android Market) and set it as the default program for SMS, otherwise you may end-up starting up the old (with Spam) program.
