Look, you should be reasonable. These are obvious things. If you want to pay less for your electricity at home, you switch off the lights when going out!:o It surely concerns all other necessary actions to cut power consumption. Those are provided in Android evidently. All other seemingly useful measures raise doubt and need long testing entailing unusual procedures which are hardly understandable to a common user and it's barely likely they would lead to total success. This video confirms the necessity to keep to common Android procedures and not dream of godlike solutions!:D

problems with gps

Hi everyone. I've got problems with gps. But not localation. My problem is the distance,...

I use Sports-Tracker and the track in the app looks well, but the distance isn´t correct.

A track of 17km, the app shows 232km and average speed 220km/h.

Where is the problem?

Sorry for my english
[Android General] Neodragon12:
Your run to fast !! :laugh:

Are you sure it's a problem with the GPS and not your apps ?
[Android General] jurlerrod:
:laugh: yeahhh maybe it was the epo I breakfast this morning.

I've never had problems with this app,...but it is the firt time on this phone, Other people had the same problem. That's why I'm asking. But

I'll check it. :good:
[Android General] emard:
That was really great! Couldn't help laughing. Bravo, Benoit!:laugh:
[Android General] jurlerrod:
i have test it with another app, this time "runtastic".

same problems. :( . I think it´s not an app problem.

Maybe the A-gps settings in engineer mod are wrong?

Did anyone knows how to do a screenshot with this phone? :eek:
[Android General] mite_jan:
try holding volume down and the power button at the same time

if that doesn't work install some app from the playstore (they are plenty of them , just write screenshot)
[Android General] JBrandtner:
Just make sure you press the buttons exactly at the same time and hold them down for a second...
[Android General] angryfish99:

i think there should be screws to unscrew first and then the middle plastic to take off (but list through the pages there and maybe someone have mentioned it)

there should be "integers.xml" in the framework

have you decompiled it completely without errors with apktool?

try with search

i think the file should be here " \framework-res.apk\res\values\ " or "framework-res/values"
[Android General] emard:
A very simple procedure - download Screenshot Ultimate (or Pro) from Play Market and use. Regarding GPS settings in system see my screenshots

YGPS icon can be created on the desktop by the program QuickShortcutMaker from the Market. Try and succeed!;) No need for gps.conf, anyway. Although, you can check out if it was created by the system by searching through RootExplorer! If it's present, change its first line in the top for your country NTP server. In case you know nothing about all this, Google around. :D
[Android General] AlaskaPardus:
The only app that works accurate is Runkeeper. I used runtastic before, but Runkeeper fits better to me and works great. On runtastic forums they say it is a sensor problem....I think the apps can't interprete the GPS data correct. Even Google's my tracks can't do it!
[Android General] jurlerrod:
Yes I read this in other forum. Runkeeper and Run.gps works fine. Use they other maps or,...? why these apps works and other not.

I really don't understand. :confused:

Screenshots works with volumen- and power buttons ;) thanks.

And this are my A-gps settings that I told:

Something wrong?,...what is "accuracy 22"

How to change the microphone

I just went through the thread of the dual core version of this phone and here is a picture from that thread. As you can see the microphone is soldered to the mainboard with two wires:

images3.photomania.com/3581148/1/radACD9D.jpg

So basically the procedure is very easy:

- Get the microphone out of the headset how it looks on the photo from the Russian forum

- Remove the back cover and the battery from the phone

- Unscrew four screws

- Take out the shield

- Solder out the crappy microphone

- Solder in the microphone from the headset

I have not done yet, but if my phone will not work well after the software tweaking, I will change the microphones.
[Android General] mite_jan:
do some video or take some pictures / tutorial if you change it if you like :)
[Android General] angryfish99:
I've tried to remove 3 screws on the back side of the phone but after i cannot remove further things.... need some video or picture+text guide for this job..

How to access the microphone

Ok, I replaced the microphone and soldered the microphone from the headset. I would say, the quality is better, very close to my Samsing Galaxy W, but don't expect miracles. I tested with Skype test call.

I will not post pictures, but here are the steps. I would say, just do it if you can use screwdriver and soldering iron. And especially this is how I did it, it does not mean that this is the only way. Also the usual: it is your responsibility, no warranty if you break your phone when following these instructions:

0. Remove the microphone _with wires_ from the headset.

1. Remove the back cover, battery, sim and microsd card.

2. Unscrew the four screws in the corners. Don't be misled by the small white paper on the top of the right-bottom screw. It is just the same screw like the others.

3. The upper part should be removed, it is attached with small clips to the bottom part. It is a bit tricky, but not impossible: push the thin part gently outwards (either what is to the left side of the battery or what is to right) and some clips will loose. Put a guitar pick in the gap between the upper and the lower part and push along. It will loose the rest of the clips.

4. When the upper part is removed, a screw should be removed in the near of the microphone and the lower part of the motherboard where the wires of the microphone is soldered can be TURNED UP. It can not be removed, but turned up.

5. Since the microphone from the headset has short wires: I desoldered the mobile's microphone from its wires and soldered headset's wires to the remained wires (red to red, black to black) coming from the motherboard. I put some tapes where the wires are soldered together and assembly the phone in a reverse way.

nice work mate

have you considered porting MIUI v5 or Lewa from Amoi N828? (if that would be easier)

i think there is official MIUI update for Amoi N828 (which is basically the same device like star b94m)

[Android General] bradstallion:
interesting. I'm trying to do the same procedure but I have some problem.

I have the driver installed correctly on my win7 (I've flashed 4.2.1 in the past).

I've run MauiMETA program, but it doesn't see the phone:

what did you select in the port box? (USB COM?)

the instructions report "recovery mode"... what does it mean?

Thanks a lot!
[Android General] cmoegele:
no I´m not sergei and semms that we have the same idea ;)

Why should we port Miui? what is difference / advantage for this. I always heard MIUI has bad Dualsim support, with Lewa I already made good experience on my THL-W8, so this was the main reason for me to give it a try ;)

If you want Miui try to port it, there are a lot good howtos around the forum here , if you need additional tipps just pm me ;)
[Android General] mite_jan:
i just thought becouse MIUI longer existed so i thought it would be more stable but yeah Lewa OS is pretty much the same thing

thanks for the suggestion but i don't plan to try to port ... i am just lazy , not so experienced and i don't have my linux environment

i will follow your work and try it when i get the phone

keep up the good work and let us know when you have the perfect release for every day usage :)

How to fix (rooted) B94M for Android development

Hi,

from Android SDK I was getting an error when the package installed, similar to xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2115402

The adapted workaround for B94M to move the tmp directory to the internal sd card:

Open a terminal emulator on your phone. Get root ("su") and type in:

# cd /data/local

# mv tmp tmp-old

# mkdir /mnt/sdcard2/tmp

# ln -s /mnt/sdcard2/tmp ./tmp

Note: I use the stock partition layout. I have not done any other software changes to my phone except rooting.
[Android General] Henkl:
All looks very promising. The needrom could easily be ported to other mtk6589 phones? I have here the isa a19q. The only difference I see is the camera with only 8mpx instead of 12..

Deeop sleep fixed?

I am a bit lost: what is the current status of the wakelock problems. I think it is fixed now, is not it?

I have the LED notification disabled and I did an experiment:

1. Restart the phone.

2. Switch off the GPS/wireless/bluetooth and the data connection, but I have not put the phone into full airplane mode (SIM card was still active). I got 1 % _overall_ battery level drop (74 % -> 73 %) after my 6 hours sleeping. 97 % deep sleep.

3. I put the phone idle (screen locked/off) and I asked somebody from my family to call me. So I had a missed call at this point, opened the phone and checked the call history. Put the phone back to screen locked/off.

4. My expectation was that the deep sleep should not work anymore, but I got 95 % deep sleep in phone idle again.

So the deep sleep issue is completely fixed with disabled LED notifications?

PS: I run my phone with ondemand CPU governor.

We need more informations, which rom (baseband) you are using, which apps. Try to make backup in recovery and after this do factory reset and wipe dalvik cache and test with clean installation if the problem still exists. After changing parameters you have to restart the phone in order to use the changed settings.
