So, I have GPS completely turned off and the Icon in the notification tray won't go away. I have tried rebooting it twice. Anyone else experience this or have any thoughts?

Ughh, I was just playing with it more and discovered that might be the answer.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] crazyg0od33:
yeah its annoying. I want that gone, and I dont need beats to tell me it's on whenever a noise plays. I know its on because I turned it on.

Can't wait for root to come back
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
That's just the notification for E911 location. Not sure why we need a constant reminder.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mpetruzz:
I have root, how do I get rid of it??
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
You would have to decompile systemUI.apk and change the icon to transparent.

wouldn't u have a blank spot there then?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
You would but I can't think of an easier method besides scrolling through lines of code.

And what's up with the font in all of your posts?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
was just curious as haven't been on HTC in a while, but figured it would stil act the same.

I like the color green.

So I use green font. :)

Is it hard to read?, been posting green for awhile now, hope that it's readable, lol

Hi guys,

I have Stock Android 4.1.2 with Iodak V06 kernel. Lately my battery life is astonishing! One Day without touching (if, barely) a phone, so I'm amazed by Nokia Lumia 720 battery life in heavy usage (3 days minimum). I tried to look at integrated battery life usage section, but nothing major. I tried to reboot phone many times, even under-clocked phone to 1.3GHz with Conservative mode in SetCPU. Maybe you can recommend any useful, good app to track my battery life? I'm pretty smart Android user, but I just don't know why my phone last so little. My last hope - install clean V20A and do LG Backup. Maybe fresh ROM with stock kernel will help.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] leortez:
Truth about this phone it won't get any better regarding battery life. Stock ROM gives best battery life in my experience. But its performance is not as good as using cm10.1.2 stable release. Iodak kernel gives quite a few options to tweak. But I don't do it cause I can't precisely understand what the tweaks are, I use the kernel with no personal mods except for OC 1.7 mhz which I'm very satisfied by its performance.

The screen on this phone is to damn sharp and bright, the main reason of battery drainage falls into the screen's technology LCD. If this screen was superamoled, battery life would probably be a whole different story. Hope you get my point.

Hi,

I have a GPS issue.

I purchased the P6 2 weeks ago.

It takes the GPS a long time (15 minutes) to get a fix on my location.

I have now upgraded to firmware b111 hoping it will help but it did not.

I have searched the internet to find more information and it seems that NEXUS users on JellyBean 4.2 had a similar issue that was eventually fixed by a firmware upgrade. Also I found other phones (such as Samsung SII) that once upgraded to 4.2.2 had the same issue (one of them even posted on h**p://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2203367)

I have also found several complaints from P6 users suffering from long delay times until GPS gets a fix.

I have installed App called GPSTest on this P6 as well as on a different Andriod phone that I own.

holding both phones I activated the GPS and started the GPSTest App.

The App showed that the P6 is 'seeing' less GPS satellites and that the signal strength from the satellites is received as weaker on the P6.

I have sent a email to Huawei to notify them of the issue,

I urge anyone suffering from the same issue to do the same a post the Fault information on:

h**p://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/index.htm?tag=email

If any one knows how to fix it please post it.

thnx

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mkstevo:
I had a problem with the GPS initially on my P6. I would find that turning the 'phone off (power down) and then back on again would cure this until the next time I wanted to use the GPS when I'd have to turn it off (power down) and on again.

I didn't seem to suffer from this problem after upgrading to firmware 107 (from 105) but by then, Co-Pilot Live had also had an update so it was possible that either one of the updates cured my problems.

Guys am recommending do not install latest gmaps ..! They SUCKS ! Just uninstall and it will uninstall just update .. older version will be still there..
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] rebayona:
I've been having this issue since I bought my P6: GPS radio literally dies, when you try opening any app using GPS that little dot with a circle in the notification panel's left corner fails to blink. I tried factory reset, b111, b118, GPS fix, gpstest and some others. GPS was back after trying some of this methods, but erratically.

This morning it was dead again and none of above worked. After reading some threads about this issue I read one mentioning that turning it off for a while worked for him. I did, and it worked. I suspect it is an overheat issue.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] extrem23:
It happens to me as well that I need to switch off the phone and on it back to get my GPS work again.

But it's still slow. Sometime need 3 to 5 minutes or forever. :mad:

there is NO problem with gps but with google maps !!! u have to uninstall latest maps and install old ones like few months old maps .. it works great on my p6 .. gps lockig takes one minute or less
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tyan888:
It's Google Maps

It's true.

The GPS receiver is fine. It's the latest updates of GoogleMaps that's causing all that.

After removing the updates, I had no problems getting a quick fix (pardon the pun).
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Drathius:
Not entirely true. I had severe issues trying to get GPS fix with Ingress, so much so that it was unplayable. If you read the other literature it is definitely not only Gmaps.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] UpUpAndAway:
I'm on B118. Decent GPS lock-on speed (within a few minutes, outside).

But after using TopNTP, now it's within 10 seconds. Even inside my apartment. I tried a few different profiles until I hit the one giving me this fastest lockon.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Baxxxtor:
i got a problem with my p6! maybe someone can help. couldnt get a gps fix so i restarted my phone. normaly that helps. but after restarting my phone the gps symbol doesnt appear anymore. if i start an app like gps test normaly a gps symbol would appear at the top of my screen blinking. gps test tells me my gps is on but i dont get any satelites anymore and the symbol is still missing! any ideas????

regards
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bokchoi2020:
From what I recall, the GPS symbol only shows when you are in the app that's using it. For example, when you are in Gmaps or Navigation you will see the GPS symbol blinking in notification bar. However, when you are at the homescreen, the GPS symbol disappears. Once you go back to the app, you should see the GPS blink again. BTW what firmware are you on?

At least you get some gps signal. I tried using TopNTP, GPS fix, GPS status, but nothing works on B125. D:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Baxxxtor:
ty for the fast reply! thats exactly my problem! the gps disappeared! its not showing in maps, navigon, or gps test applications! normaly i had a blinking gps symbol when trying to get a fix! i am still on 112! since i had no issues with my phone i never updated! gps test tells me my gps is ON but i dont get any satelites! i think it has something to do with the symbol not showing anymore!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] bokchoi2020:
Did you turn on location services? (Allow google to use GPS data...)

http://www.primeinspiration.com/gui...cation-service-settings-huawei-ascend-p6.html

If you already turned it on, I would consider flashing to a higher firmware. It's kinda weird that GPS symbol is not flashing when in-app.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Baxxxtor:
yeah locationservice is turned on of course.trying to update now

Ascend P6 GPS issues

Hello!

I have the same problems as some of you mentioned above: even though the GPS is enabled from settings, there's no blinking icon in the notification bar and none of the apps that make use of the GPS position work.

I saw that some of you up-graded the firmware of your Ascend P6. I checked Huawei's website, but no luck, only the initial official release version is present in the downloads section.

Can you please help me with this? Can I get newer firmware versions for this device from somewhere else?

Edit: My firmware version is P6-U06V100R001C00B610. Is there something else newer?

Are there other sollutions to this problem?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] taaeem:
Update to B506 that's KK so it's much better I think.

Other way try TopNTP and change the GPS.conf to your region, that's what I did and now it's working quite well.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] MirecXP:
Must confirm that even after update to B310 the GPS is horrible. It is the worst I have ever seen, even Nokia N95 was more reliable.

Besides this the P6 is perfect, but I will return it to the shop.

But this is ridiculous...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] rebayona:
I use endomondo and Sports-tracker every single day to track my commute to work on bicycle. I've noticed this issue happens sometimes if it was connected to the charger. My theory is that sometimes gets overheated inside and GPS dies. My solutions is to turn it off (restart doesn't work) for a minute, and it's back to normal. It is a reallly annoying issue.

gps fixing by repair centre

well,

After sending the phone back to the repair centre three times finally they did something because I used to see 7-9 possible satellites and 2-3-5 were fixed.

Now It went up to 17 sat and 5-6 fixed...

I did know that something was wrong with the phone...

Will check again next week because of other reason I had to send it back again at 4th time...

Efs and relationships with Kies update.

Ok so another weired behaviour from efs comes to picture.

Recently I have observed many cases with failure of firmware update with Kies due to unknown csc (xxx), even though dialing *#1234# showing everything correctly.

Now I have observed this when you have corrupted EFS, height is that your IMEI still will be correct and no network issue. But you will have only corrupted product code.

Again

This kind of issue happens if you restore your EFS backup which you have created on older rom (before me6) on latest ROM (ME6 or later).

In such condition there won't be network / IMEI issue, but you won't able to update on Kies.

How to confirm your product code corrupted ?

Install check fus or sammobile app from play store and this will show product code 'inactive'

Remedy :

You should have EFS backup which should created just after upgrade to me6 or later.

Restoring this backup also Restores your product code too and you will able to see product code again on above said application.

If you have EFS backup, which you have created on older ROM only then you can reflash Older ROM. this will erase IMEI but with your older EFS backup restore it. Now check your product code, it should be appear correctly. You can now upgrade to latest ROM and make new EFS backup. which you need to restore on newer ROM only.

I have tested myself restoring both EFS backup and above said is conclusion.

So make efs backup on both firmware (prior and post me6) and restore accordingly if you want to keep Kies update possibility intact.

What if don't have any EFS backup and Product Code is missing?

Let our elite dev to respond if we can restore it with ?Hex code or anything else, Untill that

Probably you have to live with Odin :)

Ps : I have posted same to dev section for discussion from developers. Here this is for information to newbies, who can't post on dev section.
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
LOL i had this issue since like 5 months i tried every single solution and its still XXX :eek:

i don't really care about kies updates but its sucks issue :silly:
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Install check fus and see if product code is missing then it will confirm you have corrupted efs.
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
i installed it is its still show not activated even after going back to MC3 and restoring EFS and kies show XXX

so i flashed back MF2 :D
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Yeah obviously you have issue since long means your efs corrupted for product code while you were on older rom. So no solution as for now.
[Galaxy Note II General] mietens:
but sir every single thing else than kies works perfectly like no crashes or freezes or hanging...so is there anything required to do...means to screw it up further...check fus says product code inactive only...
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
It won't affect anything else than Kies update. Though product code missing and efs corruption I have discussed earlier too, but just today I find coincidentally that flashing old efs on new rom causing product code corruption.
[Galaxy Note II General] mietens:
surprise since none looks interested to solve the issue??????????
[Galaxy Note II General] mietens:
hi dear sir

i just got everything right after visiting service centre

they reinstall firmware via their official samsung server and product code revived again

now i can connect to kies and it says this is latest update also csc(INU) is back

they do all this in nearly 10 min

i was working and finding it out since last 2 months

and ya sir dr ketan inspite of product code was inactivated i was fully able to install ota update so there is no question to live only upon odin for update so people who also have same problem and dont wanna go service centre your ota will be fine:good:

and service person also told me to update via kies if possible as it generates less errors if you have proper speedy internet or update into service centre
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Samsung guys always recommend kies main reason is fewer of them knowing we can flash using odin.

I don't know what is extra benefits of flashing through kies over odin. Never I read interested reason on xda. Internet speed have nothing to do with flashing errors as you can understand, flashing starts only after once kies completed download part. It can only affect by disconnecting between but not bad flashing anyway by Internet.

Obviously samsung service centre have tool to restore product code (even imei without efs backup).
[Galaxy Note II General] AlanDS:
I have efs backup from older rom(MC3) which was taken when Kies was detecting my product code properly..

I tried by downgrading to MC3 and restoring EFS backup. But there was no change in end result..

So I feel that we need to escalate this issue to one of our Elite Devs who can tell where actually these product codes are stored on phone and how does Kies access this info...

The product code is properly shown on Recovery mode like "Applied MultiCSC : INU". So OTA works fine. But apps like Kies, Checkfus are failing to read it. So it is very important to find from where these apps are trying to read it and possibilities of writing it manually using HEX or via an app like Triangleaway(If any dev does it)...
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Kies and check fus reading it from efs. I have multiple time reproduce too.

If you restore efs backup created on newer rom to old rom, you will lose product code. And restoring efs on same rom product code also gets restored.
[Galaxy Note II General] AlanDS:
It might be dr. ketan.. It seems like I am unlucky in this situation. I had used the same efs backup while downgrading from MF2 to MC3 and that time the Kies detected product code properly after factory reset.

But now don't know what's wrong.. Have to wait until someone comes up with a solution.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Believe me I have found this info (One in OP) after seeing too many cases in last 7-8 months and who have such errors in kies all have same product code missing. Once accidently I found missing product code on checkfus (I never use kies), and later on I recalled that i have restored old EFS on new ROM. Immediately i have restored new EFS backup ( i have both) and it restored, Afetr this before making this thread I have tried to reproduce multiple times and result was same. So at least I can say It can happen with mismatching EFS, but if any other reason it may have still I couldn't find out.

Solution :

I have posted this on dev section same time but still no one comeup for discussion/suggetion. What I can think is only possibilities is use hex editor to change/install Product code. But never tried it. still many information is lacking to use it. Hope if something may come out, but untill that you have to send / service station OR Live with Odin/OTA.
[Galaxy Note II General] MBariya:
Cheeked Out in Sam mobile app.

It says "not active ".

So only OTA and Odin.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
You don't have proper efs backup?
[Galaxy Note II General] AlanDS:
Dr. Ketan... you are 100% right.. After seeing your post, I tried to search my pc for more efs backups. Luckily I found an efs backup in tar.gz format which was taken soon after flashing MF2 rom of Malaysia. I restored it and checked using checkfus.. Thankfully, product code reappeared. Kies also started to show my product code as XME. So I installed stock Indian rom and factory resetting it made the product code to INU.. Now Kies shows that "This is the latest firmware".

So like you said, to solve this error, a proper EFS backup of latest ROM(ME6 & later) is needed. Having backup of previous ROMs will just restore IMEI.. But product code will remain corrupted.
