GPS bug ...

I have the same GPS issue Since 26 May !

The last Nightly that work for me is "cm-10.1-20130525-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip" .

With this version GPS lock even inside in the building.

I don't know what is the difference since 25 May, but is really frustrating.

Can anybody help to find this GPS bug ?
[Galaxy S II General] williamtavares:
humm..no.. this mean that this is fake and we didnt get stable on GT-I9100 yet?

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
It's not fake.

The Galaxy S II GT-I9100G got a stable build.

http://www.get.cm/?device=i9100g

But you can't use it because it's omap and yours is exynos.

I9100G is identical to i9100 except Processor, GPU, some Sensors and Sound.

Yes, I saw this pictures some time ago. I'm surprised that this feature occurs on 4.2.2 but Google edition phones are different (beats audio, no buttons on screen).

Mali is a configurable hardware IP, ARM delivers IP and driver source, and Samsung needs to compile

the driver to match their IP configuration. Additionally, it seems the driver has various

compile options, one of them determines how it handles memory. This seems what

codeworkx refers to by "ICS vs. JB". You can look at the driver binaries using

"strings libMali.so | less" and you'll find stuff like

VARIANT=mali400-r1p1-gles11-gles20-linux-android-max_pp_split_count_4-ump-smp-rgb_is_xrgb-jellybean-gp_cache_alloc

No idea what all this means in detail, but I guess you cannot use another libMali.so unless

the VARIANT is compatible.

Note that malideveloper.arm.com doesn't have the driver proper, only support code.

Now gps worked, but it took too long to get a fix.

I did reflashed ROM (with system wipe) and fixed perm again.

Also I did set gps server to my country, but it is still slower than sammy ROM's gps.

Hi there!

First sorry my english.

I have to say that those gps problems in the last two days MAY NOT BE caused by the device/rom.

I'm using stock 4.1.2 LSN for more than two weeks without any problems related to gps fix. Aways got one within 17s or less. But in the last two days, specialy yesterday, I couldn't get a fix, no matter how many sats I've got.

I suspect that this MAY be caused by wrong info delivered by agps servers...
[Galaxy S II General] Rated RR:
It was just a lame victory. There is no Play Store anymore and I cannot get it back by reflashing the latest GApps (20130301). I tried to wipe again all caches through CWM and clean data and cache on Google Services Framework through UI to no avail. There is also persistent message as below...

As the Lemmings would say "Oh no..... blop"... seems to me that clean reinstall is inevitable?
[Galaxy S II General] trhush:
I have made some procedures to reestablish the GPS working.

The following don't work:

-clear cache

-clear dalvik cache

-reinstall radios

-reinstall kernels

-fix GPS.conf

Definitely there is a change in the GPS between 2013/05/27 and the last two nightlys that cause the GPS don't work.

For fix this issue temporally i have flashed back to cm-10.1-20130527-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip and after this run fasterGPS and now GPS is working again. I an reviewing GPS changes in the last nightly.

If i have any new I will post here.

Thanks for the collaboration!
[Galaxy S II General] hectorviov:
Now that a Galaxy device is out with pure Android, they actually changed the way you open up google now and recent apps. The way they did it with the pure Google Galaxy S4 is:

Hold home button for Google Now.

Double click home button for recent apps.

Is cm10.1 gonna change so we have this features like that?

Be aware that weather conditions also affect the connection. If you're having a cloudy sky, like we do here, it might be one of the causes.

However, I agree with you, the GPS doesn't work the best.
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
Correct but it's just night mode with Screenfilter enabled.

There is no GPS problem guys, just let it fix (adjust altitude per example), turn it off and on again, let it fix again, repeat.

After a certain time the database get filled with your current location and the fix will happen in no time, just try it.

Setting your ntp does only speed up the lock process generally, fine adjusting will still need some minutes, usually 3-5.

I like this phrase: "Finally, just a note that Exynos 3 and Exynos 5 devices are not impacted by the information above. The Nexus S allows for a solid Exynos 3 base, and the Nexus 10 for the Exynos 5 base.

We have an i9500 in hand and will be working towards bringing the Exynos 5 Octo platform up to release quality as well.

"

So, this means we will have a stable build at some point in time for i9500 and we don't have to trouble ourselves with buying a "Google Play" device based on 9505 hardware, with the OEM responsible for updates as Google stated recently, and also getting it from USA/Google that is quite troublesome for me now.

That would be awesome because I would like a better hardware and more stability but still keep the CM 10.1

I can't go back to a Touchwiz based ROM and a Nexus 4 is not an option for battery and storage constraints.

Somebody's been busy. Lot's of new changes lately :)

The removal of assets for apps hidden from app drawer made me sad at first because all my icons disappeared and I couldn't remember the exact layout I had, but a big thanks for making it possible to hide the widgets, and for making icon hiding optional. :good:

I would also like to give a big thanks that the 'earpiece volume 2 notches down from maximum after reboot' bug seems to be fixed now :good::good:

I have a few questions about Privacy Guard:

Is it functional yet?

I see an option in security settings for it but not sure what happens if I tick it. I don't want to install a random app just to see what it does.

What about for apps already installed?

Are there any configurable settings for it?

What does it do by default exactly?

Cheers:cowboy:
[Galaxy S II General] deepongi:
That app, GPS Test Plus is great ! downloaded agps aid trough the app, first gps sync toke about 4m.. disabled 3G, and tested again only using GPS (not A-GPS), takes about 5 seconds now .. :)

Many thanks for the tip! :good:
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
My understanding is ticking the option in Security settings applies Privacy Guard to any apps you now install, i.e. those apps will not have access to your contacts, messages, calendar, call logs,browser history or location.

You can toggle each apps Privacy Guard in its App info.

I just tried it and it works.

The option doesn't block access to location, try it out, for example with the GPS Status app...

Hi all,

I was previously running a nightly build from the beginning of May on my S2. Last night I downloaded and installed the last nightly available (26.06.2013).

To my surprise, the icons look a bit blurred like does the font in messages, apps, etc.

Is this a common problem? We have any fix?

Thanks ;)
[Galaxy S II General] markjamezmark:
same here, my 1st installed build was 5-21-2013, but when I update it to latest, the problem occurs, even I installed the lastest build of Kalpik..

Do we need to reset, clear cache, go back to zero or restore factory default to fix our problem??
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:
FIMG - causing the pixelated icons - was "fixed" (reverted) in nighlty 2606, so that should not cause any problems anymore.

Also, make sure you use the right mDNIe-scenario in Advanced settings.

I believe CM also updated the font rendering....
[Galaxy S II General] 99x:
Most likely this isn't the fimg problem (it was reverted in the last few builds) but rather the screen scenario/mdnie mode. Go to settings, advanced, screen, scenario and set to default
[Galaxy S II General] Astrinhu:
I just did that, and although it still feels a little blurred it is way better than my previous settings =)

Still not 100% though.

Profiles: bug / use case?

I love the profiles recently introduced in CM. I use them but I think that I have discovered a use case (maybe a bug) related with triggers. Before to report it, where do you think that I have to describe it? Here?
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:
Yes here. Bug reports on nightlies are not accepted anywhere else.
[Galaxy S II General] cjescudero:
Ok, let me explain the case that I have observed.

I have two profiles: indoor, activated when the phone connects with the home WIFI, and default, activated when the phone disconnects from that WIFI. Everything works like a charm but when I turn off/on the phone.

The problem comes when I turn off the phone when I am on indoor profile and I turn on the phone again, far away from my WIFI. In this case, there is no disconection trigger and the indoor profile remains until a new trigger appears.

Maybe this is a special situation, but it is normal when I leave my home in the mornings, because I turn off the phone at night and I usually turn on my phone in my car, when moving to my office.

By the way, this situation not appears when switching between aiplane mode on/off.

I don't know if my explanation is clear enough or if I missing something about triggers and profiles.
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
As workaround I recommend Llama to trigger the event based on your current cell tower, it will not use any measurable additional battery like a GPS based trigger would do.

Llama is also quite powerful in doing a lot other jobs for me like enabling Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi and profiles in certain circumstances.

Both Android Keyboard (AOSP) & GPS problems at 27.06.2013 nightly

Hi guys

I know you are not owe us a thing and you are doing an awesome work BUT

in about the last week every nightly version that released included Both Android Keyboard (AOSP) & GPS problems at 27.06.2013 (last)

1. Android Keyboard (AOSP) - got an exception that it must be closed every time the OS booting up (hebrew lang enabled)

2. GPS problems - as i saw before many CM users complain that GPS softwares like Waze for example doesn't work properly, no signal from GPS is retrieved...

No - Wipe cache \ Wipe Dalvik cache \ Fix permissions options - are fixing that both problems..

if there is any workaround.. please update..

if there is any solution that you working to solve this both please update..

Any suggestions??

tnx a lot fellows

Concerning the GPS thing, I just had a very frustrating experience. I went out with a collegue who is the proud owner of a HTC One with stock firmware, and we both opened GPS Status at the same time (He installed it for the purpose of this test, so it was the first time he run it on his device). He got a fix to 8 satellites after 3 seconds, and had 21 satellites (yes, 21 !!!) in view. After 3 minutes, I had 7 satellites in view, and no fix :(

There is defintely a problem with our GPS since the last nightlies. I never had such good results as my college with his HTC One, but the fix used to be much faster (maybe 10-15 seconds in average to get a fix to 6 satellites). I can say it for sure, because I used GPS massively the last weeks while I was developping the new GPS indicator for the camera.

Of course I always use faster fix after having flashed a new nightly...

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

To complete the story, we just had a look at his gps.conf, and he has a ntp server from North America in it, and we live in Germany. I have a german NTP server in it. So normally, it should be me who get's the faster fix ;)

I totally agree, there is something wrong with GPS since a couple of days (3-4 nighties). Regardless if I used a Samsung stock ROM or CM10.1 I always got a lock after a max. of 14-21 seconds. Even with NTP-server settings pointing to north America. I re-flashed the 24th and 26th nighties, used a different kernel, wiped cache and dalvik cache several times, used different GPS and map tools, all with the same result: GPS is unusable for the moment. If somebody needs a logcat, please advise.

Me too. I can not do anything since few days. Today I managed to get a gps fix for few mins, but I was able to hack only one portal. Then gps was gone.

For me it gets gps fix slower than without agps (offline) or it doesn't get gps fix.

Regarding GPS

i installed 26th nightly, wiped cache and installed dorimanx.

As per usual.

GPS took less than 1 second to fix and I'm even indoors and it's very cloudy.

Amazing is the word for that.

Exatcly the same here !!!!

flashed like :

* 6 times back & forth betwen 24th-26th yesterday

* 2 times back & forth betwen 24th-27th today

no luck.

Advice to do a full wipe/install postponed : not enough time / don't want to take chances to lose data doing it in a rush ...
[Galaxy S II General] lini:
I am not sure all people in this thread use the same meaning for the word "fix". By "fix" I mean that a GPS lock has happened and the icon in the status bar (on the top left of the screen) is not blinking.

If you are using an app like GPS Test, the status light should be green when you get a fix.

Having said that, the phone can position me precisely in Google Maps when I am at home, indoors, regardless of the weather outside in 1-2 sec. This is because of data from cell towers and probably my Wi-Fi AP and not because it can see all the satellites. It also does not mean that the GPS has a fix as the status icon is still blinking and a lock has not yet really happened.

I noticed there is a GPS Issue going on and have filed a official bug report for our phone and others, it is unknown what is causing the issue but I have reported/alerted it to codeworkx and it is not afew nightly ago it has been for sometime... it just works or randomly stops working reboot and clearing gps.confg isnt helping at all.. sneaky bugger :P

[Galaxy S II General] :
I posted this a few hundred pages back: There's a small issue with the camera. Here's my post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41872442#post41872442

Maybe someone can help me with this :) CRXed's comment below is also very interesting. It affects every app that requests a preview picture. If you want to reproduce it:

First of all enter a dark room and open up the camera.

a) WhatsApp: Launch WhatsApp, open up any conversation and tap the button in the upper right corner to choose the camera. Now press the screen to focus somewhere. Wait until it's focused and push the blue button to take a picture. Now you'll be displayed a preview of the picture you've taken. But everything is dark. So the camera doesn't use the actual picture but the last thing it 'sees' before it actually takes a snapshot.

If you instantly use the blue button without focusing first it will show the real picture. Just try it :b

b) The same applies to the camera itself. Take a picture and watch the preview which slides away to the right side. You'll notice that the preview is without flashlight.

This happens on both stock camera and the extracted camera from 4.3 firmwares. It's even clearer on 4.3 camera app since the preview is minimized to the upper right corner. Well, if you reproduce this error, the only thing you can see is a black preview. If you want to but can't reproduce the bug just try it a few times. It's definitely there :D

This is just a minor issue. Just wanted to mention it here because I believe those great CM developers can fix it easily :)

By the way: I didn't know if I can grab any logs. It's not a real bug since nothing's crashing. Still a bit frustrating though :b
[Galaxy S II General] CRXed:
I am sure they can....

Too bad even Google didn't try to fix it in the newer "4.3" Camera app :(
[Galaxy S II General] :
Yeah :( But good to know that some people know what I'm talking about.. my first post didn't arouse very much interest. Maybe a developer himself will see this :) Anyways, I tried a lot of ROMs in the past - and it's always a good and fresh feeling when coming back to CM. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Rated RR:
I did full reinstallation as my CM got messed up so I had to do it anyway. Obviously this did not help too much, but it did fix after all (XXLS8). (Sorry didn't measure time to fix at that time).

Now, using Dorimanx and BOLP9 modem+RIL (Croatia):

1. Indoors under no roof window: 1st lock within 3 mins w. ~6/9 sats. Subsequent: within 15 secs.

2. Directly under night sky: 1st lock on clear state: 41 secs. Subsequent: 5 secs, ~7/10 satellites.

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

Thanks for mentioning Dorimanx and stirring up a new adventure.

Now, I've got something I was expecting CM to have in the first place.

It turns out the order of flashes is now as follows: CM, Dorimanx, Modem, cool Font.
