GPS is not working properly for me since I migrated to 4.4.2

In the new android location settings I have tried: the high precision and GPS only modes.

A) High precision works.... sometimes! it uses GPS, Cell phone network and wifi.. apparently it is working for me mainly from phone and wifi network. (not gps)

If this modes appears like "working" you can check in GPS status toolbox or GPS test apps, it will show that you were able to get a GPS lock using 1 or 2 satellites (wtf), well this demonstrates gps is not working. since GPS needs at least 4 satellites for the calculations.

B) GPS only mode: Works for some time, its hard to get the gps lock.

Today I have been doing some tests in GPS only mode, tried via stock gps.conf and via well known a-gps patch. Also I'm using the stock gps.exynos4.ko kernel module, but sometimes I have better luck with the patched gps.exynos4.ko that has static navigation enabled.

This is how I tested, installed faster GPS, used 2 different valid NTP servers (mx.pool.ntp.org and us.pool.ntp.org) and under advanced option configured the verbose debugging in gps.conf

Then I just started "GPS test" app

I was not able to get a lock after waiting 10 mins.

It looks like NTP client from 12/16 build is broken!! Why ? In the first 3 attempts I tried with MX ntp server and the last one is for the US NTP server.

The red arrows show the timestamp of every test.

Green arrow shows the Actual (expected) time.

And the text with the underline format is the NTP received time.

Notice

it ALWAYS shows the same NTP time received from the 2 ntp servers used

; maybe something crashes and prevents the future updates.

Is the "NTP server" behaving ? no way, I did a test of the US ntp server via this tool: https://w3dt.net/tools/ntpq#&query=us.pool.ntp.org&debugging=1

And it is working fine, returned the correct time (obviously this is GMT time)

Hope [MENTION=1663702]HardCorePawn[/MENTION] can take a look into this

I'm having slight problems with 4.4.2... mostly related to the internal memory. Some of the apps don't see the right path to the sdcard1/sdcard0. That makes Go Backup mad, it won't find my backups and the dropdown menu in ES File Explorer also shows up 0,00 B/0,00 B. I can browse the files by going through /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/extSdCard though. I'm quite sure I followed the instructions 100%, but is there something I did wrong?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] johnny208:
Hi... No problems here. In 10 secs I get a lock on 10/10 with GPS only. The other modes work even better.

Maybe a clean install needed!?

Check my last post and reply from HCP. I was having same issues with internal memory. I've made a back-up of my internal SD on a flash drive then format sd , then re-flashed latest built by FJ. Everything works great now.

Alternatively, try updating the software you're using. Maybe they are not yet compatible with KitKat...

Can someone help me? Seems my internal storage and sd card has problems. When I open up gallery it says"no storage - no external storage available" and when I go to file explorer it says couldn't find sd card.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fusionjack:
imo, the app should use the path /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard01 to access both internal and external sdcard.

the (/mnt/sdcard and /mnt/extSdCard) or (/sdcard and /extSdCard) are symlink of /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard01. that's why you can access sdcard through these paths.

the path /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 and /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 are not accessible anymore.

es file explorer and go backup are using these paths:

/storage/sdcard0

/mnt/media_rw/sdcard0

/mnt/media_rw/sdcard1

why these apps don't list /storage/sdcard1, is a question...

however titanium backup scans /storage/sdcard1 and /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 for the external sdcard. that's why if /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 is accessible, you would see two choices. now, TB only see /storage/sdcard1.

in summary, i'm not sure if this is an app problem or rom problem. cm and omni also use this settings. i could re-enable the access to /mnt/media_rw again to solve this problem.

[MENTION=1663702]HardCorePawn[/MENTION]: fyi, this is the result of https://gerrit.slimroms.net/#/c/550/1/rootdir/init.smdk4210.rc if you want to merge it.

Mate... I've gone round and round and round and round in circles trying to sort out all this "App X doesn't see sdcard" and/or "App X is showing duplicate sdcards!" business... :eek::silly::rolleyes::confused::mad::crying:

I fix it for ES File Explorer, but then TB breaks... so I fix it for TB... but then total commander shows 4 sdcard (/storage AND /mnt/media_rw)... so I fix it for total commander and then ES is broken again... and around and around we go! :rolleyes:

I've currently set the init.smdk4210.rc the same as omni:

mkdir /storage 0775 system system
mkdir /storage/sdcard0 0700 root root
mkdir /storage/sdcard1 0700 root root
mkdir /storage/usbdisk0 0700 root root
mkdir /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 0700 media_rw media_rw
mkdir /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 0700 media_rw media_rw
mkdir /mnt/media_rw/usbdisk0 0700 media_rw media_rw

and similar to CM's... I figure that at this point... if it isn't working right... it is an app problem! :D Seems that google really screwed us with the new sdcard (/mnt/media_rw) stuff...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] HardCorePawn:
Unfortunately, you have made some incorrect assumptions about what GpsLocationProvider is doing...

You should really check the code... before making assumptions about what the debug output is actually telling you...

// how often to request NTP time, in milliseconds
// current setting 24 hours
private static final long NTP_INTERVAL = 24*60*60*1000;

// force refresh NTP cache when outdated
if (mNtpTime.getCacheAge() >= NTP_INTERVAL) {
mNtpTime.forceRefresh();
}

// only update when NTP time is fresh
if (mNtpTime.getCacheAge() < NTP_INTERVAL) {
long time = mNtpTime.getCachedNtpTime();
long timeReference = mNtpTime.getCachedNtpTimeReference();
long certainty = mNtpTime.getCacheCertainty();
long now = System.currentTimeMillis();

Log.d(TAG, "NTP server returned: "
+ time + " (" + new Date(time)
+ ") reference: " + timeReference
+ " certainty: " + certainty
+ " system time offset: " + (time - now));

native_inject_time(time, timeReference, (int) certainty);
delay = NTP_INTERVAL;
} else {
if (DEBUG) Log.d(TAG, "requestTime failed");
delay = RETRY_INTERVAL;
}

It only checks the NTP time once in a 24 hour period... hence why the same time is repeated over and over... you'll notice that the offset is changing tho... and if you do the math, you'll find it is OK...

[GEEK]

subtract offset (-1044632) from the time value (1387251167537), using the first values in your screenshot, you get 1387252212169... which is the number of seconds since the epoch.. Jan 1st 1970 00:00:00 GMT... using a handy online epoch converter we find that value = Tue, 17 Dec 2013 03:50:12 GMT... which then translates to Mon, 16 Dec 2013 21:50:12 CST which matches nicely to the timestamp of that record in catlog ;)

Thx, but there is only older kernel before maliv3. Don't know if i can use that, maybe its enough to replace boot.img and system files with newer ones?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cirra92:
Sorry for the late reply mate :)

Yes, I have installed module only without Xposed framework, even without Xposed installer :) Try out single modules without user interface, they might work :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anmino:
Is it advisable to flash or change my kernel when using this ROM?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hispanico957:
So if understand well... you open Xposed framework, not install it and you go in modules and select modules ?

If i follow it for eg GravityBox not reply and close...

SlimSaber-i9100-4.4.2-20131217.zip

Changes:

* Reenable temporary access to /mnt/media_rw. This would cause double entries in TB, but you can access the storage through /mnt/media_rw.

* Revert "smdk4412: add more schedulers". As I observed, cpu spent more in 500 MHz rather than in 200 MHz in normal load.

* Revert "Build DashClock".

* Stylus Gestures. I didn't try it yet...

* See changelog for the rest of changes.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jpeg725:
Exactly. They are saying there is no way to get all apps working fine with sdcards.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

Unless you are doing black magic, there is no way the parts of those modules that depend on xposed are actually working. (unless fusionjack included xposed framework by accident, and even then you'd have to enable the modules.)

I can only suppose that the functionality you are seeing does not need xposed.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Misk77:
two thing at least.. flash again, or re install Superuser ...

tried?

Quote:

From a clean build you need to enable root access for Superuser itself. This is different from 4.2.2 in which Superuser by default had root access on a new install. To do this, go to Settings -> Developer options -> Root access. If an app attempts to request root access before Superuser itself has access, it may cause problems with that app in the future where root requests are silently denied.

I have a wierd problem in last 4.3.1 build.. While using phone randomly it freezes for a few seconds and when it comes back to normal somehow navigation bar is enabled, even though in settings navigation bar is unchecked.. I have to check and uncheck it simultaneously to remove navigation bar everytime phone freezes.. Anyone having this kind of wierd issue related to navigation bar?

Also i have soft reboots at random ( although that has been mentioned in OP) but i wanna know if there's is something in particular inside rom features which is causing this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Misk77:
Had/have no issues at all with latest 4.3.1

But apps can make reboots/soft reboots.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Misk77:
And don't know anything about ART but soon i will if you don't stop asking this question that you can find on xda and google. :P

Soon i will tell you all the answers :)...gonna read it first...

http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonk...oid-phone-faster-and-its-battery-last-longer/

ART stands for ‘Android RunTime’ and its job couldn’t be more important: it runs the apps on Android devices. ART replaces ‘Dalvik’ (named after the Icelandic village where creator Dan Bornstein’s ancestors lived) which has performed this task since Android first appeared. As you might expect Dalvik was getting very long in the tooth and it wasn’t that great in the first place. In giving it the boot users will get two significant benefits:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anmino:
But what can you recommend? Using ART or Dalvik?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Misk77:
1. It uses more storage

Or to be more precise: your installed apps will use more storage – roughly 10% to 20%. This is because the pre-compiled apps which allow ART to run so quickly and efficiently have to be installed this way which makes them bigger compared to Dalvik’s on-demand method. For those with a lot of apps installed this could take a significant chunk of your available space, they will also take a little longer to install.

2.Some apps are incompatible

3.Your phone will reboot and it will take 10 to 20 minutes to convert your existing app installations to be ART compatible.

But if you got storage and For those who do stick with ART pat yourself on the back. You’ve joined an exclusive club: those enjoying the future of Android.

The great thing is you can switch back to Dalvik if there are any key apps you find don’t work. It is the future of Android, now :)

The battery improvement is nice. I think the biggest performance benefits will be seen in the low end devices,

High end devices so are fast it can be hard to spot, though I do find my own Nexus 5 even more responsive.

Should you run ART on Android 4.4 KitKat, or are you better off waiting?

Honestly it comes down to what kind of Android user you are. If you are the type that already runs unstable ROMs and BETAs, ART might be for you.

The important thing to remember is that ART is still an experimental runtime and there is a growing list of apps that are confirmed to currently not work with the runtime. Just to name a few, we have Call of Duty: Strike Force, Pandora, WhatsApp(its working i read now), Titanium Backup and Kingdom Rush.

So how about it, have you managed to test out ART yet? If so, what do you think?

But its your own choice, like i said, i don't know nothing about it, and don't think in this moment its helps or impressive so much thats its gonna do in a couple moths.. probably..but if i was on 4.4 with a good/stable rom i would try it for some days so i at least know/feel the different and see if its get some battery improvement and speed like they say up til 30 % some have report and it should give, but its not at its peak right now.

But don't take me on my word, cuz i only read this on INTERNET!
