you got me wrong, i was typing fast - i ment the donations for the server of derek gordon ...

about NTP:

source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol#Clock_synchronization_algorithm

so how to hell server located somewhere in the world will help me obtain a better fix ???!!!

then the one actualy closest to my location (ping)

as for the xtra.bin

so basicly our gordon guy downloads xtra and puts it at own server - WHY ?!?! how is that speeding up the process ?!?!?!

was commenting earlier on other switches he proposed in cfg file - doubtable that they help at all, just allow less accurate first fix if so ... thats not good

and what is most fun that is not only place that we could do some GPS cfg - but no word on that ;]

and you can o real magic there to gps cfg =]

will say it againg - funny anyone that thinks he will do better job on GPS then Googlers on Nexus S GPS files
[Galaxy S I9000 General] crypted:
You, sir, are ignorant. You rehash discussions over two years old. And, instead of reviewing those many discussions I openly had, you decided to defame me.

Thank you for showing why XDA is becoming worthless to DEV communities.

NTP.ORG has a lot of cable modems and other overloaded and poorly networked time servers. I use Stratum II time servers (look it up). Further, I calculated NETWORK HOPS AND LATENCY from many locations to mobile data connection points. Learn that a little bit and you'll be much better off.

If I'm sitting in Caen, France and my carrier (Orange) has its outpoint for my mobile data traffic as London, England, then using a server near me is nonsense. Further, NTP does not rely on your physical location or timezone. It's absolute time for the almanac data.

XTRA data is a funny one. Let us assume I just copy data. Do a MTR monitoring from about 20 global locations and write a script to pull xtra data to those same 20 locations. See the great latency that occurs through the reliance on the original servers. Then, do the same for mine. You will see a huge decrease in latency and procurement time across almost every mobile carrier I was able to get tests ran on.

Now I don't feel like going on to much more to try to educate someone who refuses to read my previous long postings on these subjects...

But hey, I'm an asshole as you indicated. I did nothing of use. Sadly, over 10 million query's a day say differently.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] somator:
i am not into the mood tp discus that with you. best latency is something your server IS NOT providing for me so i see no point in using it.

as for the milions of querries

most developement here is made using other work as own and offering features tweaks and files without proper understanding of the process

fact of changing something is more important than the real impact of it on the system

untill proven otherwise i still think that stock settings and servers are best gps solution
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zatta:
I didn't want to get involved in any discussion and I won't.

Leaves me to say, try the app and use the ntp server, use the app and use one of the xx other servers out there or don't use the app at all.

Some report great results, others don't report anything. We hardly get any negative results reported.

The service is offered for free and remember, if you don't like it eventually, the app backs up your old configuration and is able to restore it also.

I'm always open for suggestions to improve the app or the database. I would love to include an entry special for the gt-i9000 as this device has brought me into android app development.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] crypted:
I cannot solve every persons issues. Read my threads. I provide default Ntp servers and the like in the 2.x variant. It stays updated to the 3.x. So your point is still null.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] somator:
this 'discussion' shifted a bit dont you think?

i question the fix (server latency + android settings) and ask for some anserws/comparisment

and i get a lecture about something i did not asked for and bunch of random links to few threads

if thats what is powering the fix i would not be suprised that this could be another placebo sold around here :>

btw here is latency compared for 'closest location' ntp server (0.pl.pool.ntp.org) vs your server (derekgordon.com)

i belive i do not have to measure the hops and pings for you - obviously closer and faster

so if it is the latency that is important here ...

and

so seems like even bigger latency will not be an issue here as it will get corrected with those packets exchange

and i dont even start with xtra ;]

have a good day, either point me to literature, facts or do not insult me with your offtop lectures/rants
[Galaxy S I9000 General] crypted:
I guess you need more education than I care to provide.

Ntp.derekgordon.com resolves to several stratum 2 servers. Your trace route isn't even to the right location.

So you're querying incorrect locations for Ntp too. But hey whatever.

Good luck on your endeavor.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] somator:
i will learn nothing from you then :( long live xda dev community as you said

ntp.derekgordon.com

even if you would have attomic clock in your basement and provide most accurate civil hosted clock

you still would have maintain plenty of servers worldwide at best routing points to propagate your times better than ntp org

yet from what i know you use only that one so all the work with dirrect link to statrun 2 servers is lost due to high latency to your querried server :cyclops:

dont get me wrong, i like when some one got a hobby but please do not make yourself a gps mesiayah

as if gps is working correct on a given device at factory state, change made by your 'jazz' measured in ttff will be unnoticable by an ordinary user

dont know how with other manufacturers but the problem with i9000 is:

- the BCM4751 chip (used by many not only samsung, like apple)

- interferences of the signal delivered to the chip

- placing and size of the antena

- the antena-board connection - that is known to be broken in many devices

samsung learned a lesson and improved on those (other chip and quality components), so now fix in newer samsung devices is instant

Hi furqa,

just want to mention it. Make a backup from your actual running system (jellybeer) than wipe all and install CM10.1 (M3) v.1.4.0 Linaro. Sure its possible to do all without wiping data but if you get bugs / errors it could depend on that!

Hey Team!

I've been rooting and tinkering with android phones since the HTC Dream days. Normally, most troubleshoots I can overcome on my own fairly routinely over the years. I kind of feel like I've met my match on this one and I could REALLY use you guys' help!

Here's the story:

So my phone, of course, is the T-Mobile HTC One. What I've done so far? Unlocked the Bootloader. Added a CWM custom recovery. Currently using a 1.29....16 OTA clone deodexed Rom created by Team Nocturnal. I'm using a Faux123 Kernel and have it overclocked to 1.9 GHz with all of his suggested UV settings and Intellidemand Governor chosen. I have the Xposed Framwork installed as well. I've had all of this running smoothly together for weeks with not one random reboot or lockup. The phone has literally been flawless. Until this.....

So, i'm listening to music with headphones plugged in for my Spotify app and relaxing. About 10 minutes into the music session, the music stops. I look down and the app seems frozen. I pick up the phone and turn the screen on. As I swipe the screen to unlock, the phone freezes. I turn the screen off by pressing the power button. From this point on, the screen will not turn back on at all!!

What I've tried:

1) The usual hard reset via power button and volume down. Even power button by itself. The capacitive buttons just keep blinking, but the device never reboots at all.

2) I've tried plugging the device to a computer. The usb connection responds because the computer makes a sound. When I look at the device manager, it does show that it detects the M7 device to be connected. However, when trying to use any ADB commands, it simply states the device is not found (running Windows 8, btw).

3) Freaked out for about 10 minutes before regaining my composure and thinking of one last thing. Only thing I can think left to do is pull the battery. Of course this isn't possible with the HTC One, so my only comparative option would be to let the battery drain completely. The irony is that I boast so much about my phone's battery life, so I know that I'll be waiting 2-3 days for this to happen before I can hope for resolution after.

I've tried to be as specific as possible here guys. I'm far from an expert, but I've owned 4 or 5 android phones since 2008 and have never bricked one. If anyone knows anyway to bring my phone back from this RANDOM sleep of death, please let me know so.

Forever Grateful!

Find a bright light. Hold phone under this light and hold power button down again. Phone lights will blink and the phone will shut off.

I've just been mindf**ked... It WORKED! What kind of crazy HTC Easter Egg is that??? And thank you so much by the way! You have no idea! I use my phone to promote my photography and film to my followers, and I was pretty heart broken lol

Also, what do you think couldv'e caused such a random deep sleep?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Could be the over clock. No need to oc a phone this fast IMHO. The bright light thing is a safeguard against accidentally powering off while in a purse or pocket.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atwon:
I agree completely. Phone doesn't need to be OC'd. I was just being indulgent I guess lol. That's the first thing I changed when booting it back up. And ya, that's a pretty cool trick sir. This is why I love my XDA Fam! Android FTW!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Also I'd turn off mpdecision in faux control app. It doesn't play nice with faux intelliplug
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atwon:
Yep. That was already turned off based from his recommendations. Only thing I really did was change the OC levels back down to stock.

Did the trick. Thank you so much. :D

When home and back button blink, do they keep blinking and did you try holding the power button.

i am having the same problem, its a pain in the ass to get a light on the sensors, could it be that its happening because i also use a charger for a different android phone? had a old lg mytouch 4g charger. maybe i should let the battery drain completely. i want a real solution instead of having the phone screen shut off and stay off on me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DxCx:
Hi,

I've just bought a new M919 device.

Now, it seems like the bootloader is locked..

is there is any unlock known right now?

also, i've already flashed i9505 rom into it, and had to flash m919 kernel.

if i get it right,it is becuase the bootloader is asking from the kernel "load m919 device" and if it's not supported the device won't load.

so generally, with an unlocked bootloader, will i be able to flash i9505 device and use i9505 kernels as well?

because the hardware should be the same..

Edit:

it will be good to mention that i'm not living inside the USA, and i don't have tmobile vendor here..

so "loosing" tmobile bloatware or lte support is not something i care..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] spodie:
M1919'z dont have locked bootloaders only att and Verizon....

Gotta be something ur flashing....

Dont mean to be rude at all but u better be carefull what u flash on that fone with other firmware....

Need more info... whats rom u on? N whats ur end goal? U flash the wrong thing and BAM BRICK :banghead:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AxAtAx:
I have a guide for that...better READ first. In my sig.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: bootloader

The bootloader is not locked on a Tmobile M919 S3, what we do have is a root restricted kernel.

Your best bet before doing anything else is to flash the Deviant kernel which is unrestricted or any

other custom kernel for the M919.

Here is the link for the deviant kernel: http://d-h.st/X0b

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DxCx:
Ok,

So first of all, i might be confusing you, i do have some technical knowledge, and what i did is:

Restore the device (Using Odin) to "M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_M919UVUAMDL_HOME.tar"

then flashed CF-Auto-Root-jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.tar to gain root, and openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.1-jfltexx-i9505 to gain recovery.

Next (After the system loaded) i've copied the files:

I9505_Omega_v3.1_XXUAME2

and

KT-SGS4-TW-JB-TMO-06-06-2013

And in recovery i've flashed them.

so i have Omega 3.1 for I9505 with TMO's kernel.

About the bootloader, when i'm in download mode, it says:

"Write Protection: Enable" i tought it means it is locked bootloader..

what i would like to really achive is to run a FULLY i9505 code on the hardware

which means also i9505 bootloader and kernel..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: odin flash

You cannot odin flash the i9505 firmware to a Tmobile S4 M919 phone.

Most likely if you would have odin flashed that firmware you would have ended up with a shiny brick.

Never try odin flashing any other device's firmware to your M919 S4 phone.

Only flash the appropriate and compatible cwm/twrp flashable custom roms.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DxCx:
Thanks for your quick reply :),

i did not get why you've said i can brick my device with the FW i've flashed with odin,

I've flashed the M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_M919UVUAMDL_HOME which is for the M919 phone..

Also,

do you know what that "Write Protection: Enable" means in download mode?

do you know if replacing the bootloader (in the future when available) will give me the option to use i9505 kernels?

or i'm doomed to use M919 bootloader & Kernel for forever..?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: odin flash

What I said was never flash any other device's "Odin" flashable firmware to a M919 Galalxy S4 phone.

(other devices include the international i9505 S4 phone)

The Odin flashable M919UVUAMDL firmware is perfectly safe to flash if your device is the Tmobile M919 S4 phone.

There are some i9505 custom roms which are "NOT" Odin flashable and require CWM/TWRP to flash.

Those cwm/twrp zip file roms can be safely flashed to a M919 S4 phone but you will loose wifi calling.

There are many custom kernels in these M919 S4 Tmobile threads which you can choose from and flash

if you are not satisfied with the default kernels which all of the cwm/twrp flashable zip file roms come with.

As far as bootloaders go, if your phone is working properly there is no reason or advantages in flashing any bootloaders.

Flashing bootloaders can be a sure way to brick your phone. If it gets bricked you will have to ship it off to be Jtag'ed. ($35-$60)

Flashing different bootloaders have nothing to do with improving your phone's performance in any way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cproaudio:
It seems that you're trying to make your M919 into a i9505. If you wanted an i9505, you should have gotten an i9505 to begin with. What made you choose a M919 when you're not in the US and don't care about LTE or T-Mobile bloatware? I'm on AT&T service but got a M919 because of unlocked bootloader. I'm on stock T-Mobile ROM but with TWRP recovery and rooted and also got rig of all of the T-Mobile and Samsung bloat. I'm still able to to use AT&T's HSPA and LTE network. That's the beauty of using a M919 on an AT&T network.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DxCx:
Auctly i had a week in USA, and i couldn't find any i9505 only the carriers..

the m919 was the lowest i've found for 680$..

in my country, buying the --i9500-- will cost around 990$

so.. so this is the reason i got the m919..

i would like to "turn it" to be as i9505 as possible..

and i do have some experience in the embedded area,

all i was asking is what "Write Protect: Enable" Means if that's not a locked bootloader.

and if it's not locked, why flashing i9505 bootloader & kernel would not work (since as far as i understand from earlier reading the hardware are the same)..

Also, am i able to flash i9505 modems? or i'm restricted to m919 modems as well?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: bootloaders

The i9505 phones with the original MDM firmware do not have Write Protection: Enabled.

The i9505 phones with MDM firmware released in May 2013 will have Write Protection: Enabled

The i9505 phones that have been upgraded using OTA to ME2 firmware will

have the bootloader updated and will have Write Protection: Enabled.

Hope this helps,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DxCx:
Thanks alot, so since i bought my phone after May 2013 i have this write protection..

can you give me more info about this protection? is that just ro flag on some partitions on the eMMC (such as boot i guess) ?

is that what is called locked bootloader? i had like 5 android phones before and never seen this..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: bootloaders

If I recall correctly, a locked bootloader prevents the flashing of any AOSP/AOKP/CM10/MIUI roms because

they require cm10/aosp/aokp/miui kernels, they will not work with stock or stock based kernels or any other

custom kernels unless they are specifically designed for those Cyanogen type roms..

However you can flash most any cwm/twrp flashable custom rom which is based on stock Tmobile M919

Touchwiz Jellybean 2.2 MDB or MDL roms. All the the kernels for these roms are based on the stock rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DxCx:
Hmm, i've already flashed AOKP on the phone and it worked (with M919 kernel),

but this write protect does mean "locked bootloader"?

what i think, is that the lock is just on the "boot.img" sector of the emmc.

so we are not able to switch the bootloader.

and the bootloader set deviceId for the kernel for the m919.

so the kernel must be compiled with m919 machine-id..

P.S

i do have some knowledge in embedded linux and linux kernel.

that's the reason i want to understand what they are locking ;)

do you know the name of the bootloader? is that u-boot? or some other developed by Samsung?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DxCx:
Also, i did not understand if i can switch my modem''s to any i9505 modem or not .. ?
