Hey guys I have a problem with the GPS. I can't use any speedometer apps that use the GPS.... So which is the best GPS fix out there? the epo file doesn't get downloaded at all....

Sent by Kiran Ferns from w8 beyond using xda app-developers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
Use GravityBox MT6589 specific option to fix GPS bug. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kenturky:
No, what exactly do you mean? Nothing is there in gravitybox to check the GPS except go to engineering mode and do something there...

Sent by Kiran Ferns from w8 beyond using xda app-developers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
In MT6589 specific section, you'll find an option called "fix location issue" implemented with this commit .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kenturky:
I tried it.... But the speed in the speedometer is 0mph... Tried another speedometer app, it was still at 0. Went to Google maps, checked my location... Was perfect after doing the GPS fix, but the speedometer app never works...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pesa1234:
Can I know the app name to test in my w8 beyond?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
Send me via PM your build.prop, so that I can check it, and maybe fix that issue.

For someone who wants my build.prop, PS: I had my w8 beyond stolen in Mumbai by some taxi driver. I couldn't get it back as I didn't install any anti-theft. So now, I bought a w8s. Gonna install avast anti theft now.

I sent you my build.prop

Did you examine it?

I seem to be having a large battery drain on my w8s. Around 5-7% per hour with screen off....

And with 3g and data on, I get around 20-25% per hour battery drain. I'm not sure what is causing the drain. BTW, I'm using the firmware 1.0.6

Hello.

I have the thl w8 + gm2 with v3.0

I have several problems and do not know if anyone else suffers.

I can not share the mobile Internet, the devices are connected but no movement of data between phone and other device (pc, tablet, etc...).

Has anyone tried it?

someone you work?

if so, as it has solved?

Forgive me for my bad English. Thanks.

Root it and use tether unlocker from play store... it's a problem on android 4.2.1

Sent from my W8 Beyond
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Also potentially, certain operators are known for blocking tethering as they need to force users into using mobile data to get more money out of it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] a.sebastiani:
hi, can I install the package Gravitybox from cwm recovery on a thl t100s? I tried to install both apk Xposed framework and also from cwm but the t100s goes into reboot loop. What can I do?

thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
AFAIK it's an xposed framework issue. It doesn't seem to be compatible with new mtk octa cores. Somebody already posted logcats in the xposed support thread so it's up to rovo89 if he does anything about it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
It seems that it's the same ROM than previous, but for 8P32 (8GB) W8 phones.

Only Chinese and English languages included...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
It's Lewa...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
my mistake... :silly:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] muratzilla:
I'm very happy with this rom and using 1.3 version for about 2 - 3 days. However I noticed a small problem with project butterfly or gpu driver or whatever it is. When you scroll down in facebook / web browser, there is a noticable tearing at below (where phone / messages / browser icon located in main menu). Top 8/10 of screen has no problem but below 2/10 area suffers from screen tearing during scroll down.

Is the author aware of this problem? Or should I make a video to demonstrate my problem?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
You simply just expect too much from this device :D

But most likely it's related to how facebook app is coded so you maybe better contact their devs :)

Btw, I've just tried FB in web browser (not app) and can't see any tearings at the bottom part. The scrolling is fine for the whole screen.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] muratzilla:
It seems tearing also happen during video playback in youtube. So I'm guessing either my device at fault or something wrong with firmware. Because I tested youtube playback on original rom but there wasn't any tearing in that part of screen. It also happens in same area when you rotate phone horizontally.

I upgraded to 1.4 version of mod a few hours ago.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NZ-Simplicity:
I have been using the 1.4 upgrade since it was released with no problems.. - Just tested youtube with several clips and there is no tearing at all either in vertical or horizontal mode at all..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dyter:
Since 1.4, sometime my home button MOD doesn't wake the phone, so I return to 1.3 and it's work fine :eek:

Is it possible to add an proximity sensor option off like S3 ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amstel:
what home button mod?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kucyk84:
yeah, what home button mod? in changelog is nothing about home button;/

Thank you for this beautiful ROM!

I have a problem with proximity sensor. The calibration resets at every reboot, can I fix a value for it?

When the proximity sensor is not calibrated the screen remain off at the end of phone calls! Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad english

how to increase the speaker's volume?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Battery life is acceptable for me. Far more better what I was used to on my old ZTE Skate. Anyway, you can try flashing uboot and boot images from stock 8P32 official 4.2.1 that has 49 fps if you like to experiment. (it works, I've already tried).

But I doubt you will get any remarkable improvements...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
You can tweak it in engineering mode. Search. There are guides for mtk65xx already. Basically they apply to our device, too.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] taimur272:
Why source code of mtk aren't released ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
that's how it is with Chinese phones... source code (for kernel at least) is never released, so that no build can be done from AOSP source with MTK devices.

Hi,

I'm installing GravityBox in my THL W8 Beyond (with your GravityMod2 version 3 for my phone), but I'm having problems with the versions and I don't know what done so I can install the last version.

Versions:

2.9.2. The more stable, but with some problem. The version that I have in my phone now.

2.9.3-2.94. Problems like 2.9.5 and 2.9.6

2.9.5 I install the version, but the phone never restart.

I have to extract/put the battery and restart again. All days I had to do that when I wanted start the phone.

2.9.6. I install the version, the phone restart, but the GravityBox has dissapeared.

.

Do you know what's my phone problem?

P.S.: Thank you for your software.

Saludos

[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
This ROM comes with GB as system app and upgrades must be done via flashable zip provided in the main post.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] m110a2:
Yes, I do that.

Steps:

I download the zip, for example, the 2.9.6 in this thread(#1844)

I put it in the SD of the phone, not in the external one.

I starts Recovery (power button and vol+)

I choose the zip and I install it

The installation ends and I reboot, and then come the problems I told you.

EDIT:

It's not the first time I have these problems. After installing GravityMod I went to update GravityBox (2.6.2) and it was the first time with problems.

- 2.6.2. Stable

- 2.6.3 and 2.6.4. I installed the version, the phone rebooted, but the GravityBox has dissapeared.

- 2.7.2. Stable

Curiosly, the versions that didn't give me problems after install were: 2.6.2, 2.7.2, 2.9.2

Saludos
