[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] fatmonk:
Just got a TomTom5 kit with Bluetooth GPS receiver from PDAMods.com.

Followed the instructions to set everything up, but TomTom still says "No GPS device!".

The XDA seems to connect via BT to the device OK, and the BT active light comes on on the receiver, so I think its maybe connection params.

The only step in setting up the receiver that I couldn't perform was changing the outbound COM port to port 8 in BT Settings as specified in the receiver manual.

I go into Bluetooth Settings.

Select the Services tab.

Select 'Serial Port'' as instructed.

Make sure Enable service is checked, authoriszation required isn't, and Authentication passkey required isn't.

Then I go into the Advanced options to set the ports and I can't edit them...

Any ideas? I need to use this this afternoon - in about and hour and 10 minutes, and have been struggling for 2 hours to get the thing to recognise the receiver...

I've already had to do a hard reset, and lost a load of other stuff off the device, because the Bluetooth setting seemed to get corrupted and i started getting a message about Bluetooth license having expired. That bit is OK now after the hard rest, but the receiver is still not recognised.

In the TomTom prefs I have gone into GPS status and hit the configure button. Selected 'Other Bluetooth GPS'., and hit the ''Bluetooth Serial Port 5" line (which is what the inbound COM port connection is set to).

According to Bluetooth settings my Inbound COM port is 5 and my outbound is 6. The receiver setups says these should be Inbound 5 and outbound 8.

Please please point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

FM

try using cable

In TomTom try using the Other NMEA cable device (or somthing similar) - select the com port and set the baud rate (mine uses 9600 but you may need to try a few settings). I also ensure that I connect the device in Bluetooth manager before starting TomTom.

Hope this helps.

TomTom 5. & BT GPS

Don't tell me you haven't used the "outbound" com port setting .

The inbound/outbound name is nothign to do with data flow, it's whi instigates the connection.... the XDA does, so it's an Outbound connection you need to use.

Try Com6 (or com 8 .... whatever it was)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] fatmonk:
Once again, xda-dv forums members are stars!

That sorted it..

9600 and selecting the inbound com port (i think it was that one) made the thing spring to life..

now i know where i am going..

cheers cgrillo,

Is there a quick way to have TOM TOM connect to the GPS Mouse when TOM TOM is started? Currently I have to start blue tooth manager and connect to GPSlim236 manually.

Then run TOMTOM.

Also, in my blue tooth manager my blue device is listed as:

Holux GPSlim236: SPP Slave.

is SPP Slave correct?

Hi, my xda mini s only has bluetoth COM ports on port 6 + 7, however tomtom5 only recognises the IR, serial, and COM ports 0, 2, 3, and 9. I have tried the 'Other cable...' thingy, changed the BAUD rate, and generally messed around with it. Any ideas?

btw, i use a globalstat BT-359 receiver (bluetooth)

Hello,

just a minutes ago Sony shared a link to open source archive for some xperias, including our Z :victory:

link: http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow.../open-source-archive-for-build-10-3-1-a-2-67/

hope we'll get this update asap
[Xperia Z General] AndroidDan:
The build looks familiar but yeah if it is new build probs update

Edit: looked online and it seems that this is 4.2.2 android and is still using same ui as the current build

[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
Small update I guess, since it's still starting with 10.3.1.A.
[Xperia Z General] beni8978:
Maybe it's android 4.2.2 with honami ui ?

C6603 ?

We all got .244 update twice.
[Xperia Z General] Asd0r:
I do not understand. I have just received a notification for an update .244. Is it related with 10.2.1.A.2.67 or is something else? This update will remove the root?
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Yes you will lose root,try it maybe it's the new update.
[Xperia Z General] ImAnurag:
no it is the same old update .244 , many users got it...some apps optimized only. Nothing else.

The notification is OTA and the size is only 2.5Mb. I will try this evening in case, but I am afraid to wait a lot for the root method.

WOW. THE DISPLAY FIX ?

Are they talking about the improvement in the contrast and saturation ?
[Xperia Z General] knightpt:
YOu are refering to the sony tweek of today ?

"Sony Mobile has just tweeted that a new Android 4.2.2 firmware update is rolling out to the Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR and Xperia Tablet Z. They have said the update brings “display, camera, battery fixes & performance tweaks“"

Would be neat about your idea of a contrast and saturation fix, but don't think so. I believe they are refering to the Z Ultra display problems...

Flash the kernel.sin from the ES ftf with flashtool and you will not have the issue anymore.

KERNEL.SIN is the same for all firmware customizations with the same build number. The kernel is part of the generic base system, not the customization package.

When i flashed ES 244. ftf everything was okey.

Then I flashed other kernel.sin from doomlord to get root and the battery trouble began.

After that i flashed again only the kernel.sin from ES 244. and no problems till now.

C6603 ?
[Xperia Z General] Hexs:
Assuming that this one's source code doesn't broken on wifi like the .244 before.

This is a great news!

I thought i have to wait for long time for the newer kernel source.

Although this change very little in term of feature but newer kernel's source means custom kernel can now change back to use stock Wifi driver ?

I used Custom kernel before but switch back to stock just because for some reason my device has MAC address changed in

.244 custom-kernel that use Prima driver stuff.

I do miss a lot of great things from custom kernel but can not make my mind in peace to use the MAC address that was not mine.

Hopefully this new firmware's kernel source can be compiled fine with the stock Wifi driver. Cheers:good:

[Xperia Z General] koziakauzu:
whatever, it sounds amazing that we still can't select white or black theme on stock FW in 2013.
[Xperia Z General] pandaball:
AFAIK, no stock ROM actually allows you to change the theme of the whole firmware to black or white without custom mods... so why are you so upset about it ;)
[Xperia Z General] koziakauzu:
I know that, and not really upset, I'm a sucker for black theme.

Just weird that no one thought "that would be great if our customers could choose between light and dark theme on our rom!".
[Xperia Z General] pandaball:
Haha, they would think that and then continue "why black and white? let's have all the colours!" then you see things like what LG did to the G2 :eek:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFartingRetard:
Hey guys I am looking for any help or suggestions that anyone here might have. My galaxy (p7510) crashed today and tried to restart itself at which point it freezes while booting and will not do anything. So I tried to do a restore from an old backup through CWM but when I try to do this CWM just freezes up in the same manner and nothing happens. So then I tried to do a factory reset in CWM and this causes it just crash and try to restart once again. So CWM and Android are both not working. I then tried to flash a rom with ODIN and it immediately fails and now I can't do anything as it seems that Android has been killed by the ODIN attempt. For reference I was running TASK650'S build of AOKP, which I have been using since about May so it doesn't seem to be the reason for the problem. I'm out of ideas and the warranty is long gone, does anyone have an idea?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gil81:
[MENTION=5444941]TheFartingRetard[/MENTION]

I had a similar problem...

I had to wipe my sdcard.. what I did was flash a rom.. it wouldn't boot ( any rom I tried )..so then I flashed a rom ( clean flash )and before I rebooted I wiped my sdcard.. and low and behold.. it booted..

This actually happened to me twice.. sucks as I lost all my files..

Before this you could try to Odin the stock rom and see if that works... sometimes going back to stock helps in these not so clear situations..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFartingRetard:
Thanks for the input but the problem is deeper than that. The problem is that when I try to use ODIN i get an automatic fail. I have tried already to use stock roms but nevertheless it fails for some strange reason. I am using new wires, I have tried multiple ports on multiple computers and nothing seems to work. I do know how to use ODIN as I use it in conjunction with other devices all the time. This leaves me dumbfounded. Also I can't wipe the internal memory because im running Clockworkmod and it crashes when I try to do any task at all. Including system format and sd wipes.

Do you have any other ideas? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gil81:
Can you get a zip for infamous TWRP on the device... or you could try to push it with adb or Odin... I'm just thinking if you can get a good recovery on it you might be able to get out of this squeeze... look at the infamous aokp thread and see if you can get that recovery on the device.. I've not had a problem since dumping cwm and going to TWRP..

Sorry I can't be more help... I'll look around and see what I can find..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFartingRetard:
Thanks so much for the help, I was able to push the recovery to CWM but when I try to install it, it freezes and attempts to restart android same as before. ODIN is not doing much better. I don't see much else I can do. This was really a last ditch effort and probably the weirdest type of bricking I've ever seen. Thanks so much for your help and should anything come to mind, Ill monitor this thread for a week or two.

You might try to run it completely out of power and then put it on a charge for a couple hours...after which see if Odin will work...I've seen it before,but under a little different circumstance. It will take it a day or two to power down if you tape/use a rubberband on the power button..depending on charge...I've heard it taking a week.:mad:

Don't now why this works or how,but I've read about it fixing multiple problems..from Odin not recognizing the device to no ROM will boot..Odin or cwm...

Anyway...its something to try while we look for a more definitive answer.

what about getting a stock recovery on then trying Odin

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nihil0:
I just uploaded a Nexus 7 II (2013) tester App to the PlayStore which demonstrates the fake touch bug.

The app does practically nothing just shows one static picture. You can see, what the Nexus 7 does as response. Every little white point on the display is a fake touch.

The app simulates nothing!

The app only shows one static image

That's all. Everything else happens because the Nexus 7 II has this fake Touch bug.

Here is how you can test:

Start the test by selecting a pattern. The pattern is visualized in the left upper corner. Not all patterns cause fake touches. One pattern can cause fake touches in landscape mode but not in portrait mode or vice versa.

Look for fake touches

Touch the display with one finger (one touch point)

Touch the display with two or more fingers (multiple touch points)

Try the same pattern in landscape/portrait mode

Select other pattern (by changing portrait/landscape mode)

If you don't trust me, then just make a screenshot, and open the screenshot (or the attached pictures) in a viewer app without any zooming. You must see the very same result! No zooming means: 1 pixel in the picture is exactly 1 pixel on the display. If you can't show the picture in that way, because your viewer program does some minor scaling, then you don't get the effect! Please be 100% sure, that you don't scale or zoom the picture!

If you use the app, please remember:

** PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK! **

I am not responsible for any data loss, hardware damage, or bricked devices due to the use of this software! If you don’t agree, then you shouldn’t be installing this app, then uninstall it imediatelly!

** PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK! **

2015-06-28: The app has been renamed to Ghost Touch Tester

The app is available on the PlayStore here: http://goo.gl/TEbIvz

YAMTT

I have my Nexus (2013) for a week now, no multitouch issues but i did get twice to the point where i lost all touch:P (pressing power, forcing it to reboot helped). But i noticed when i use YAMTT and put my hand on it, it starts flipping. It registers my hand palm as 3-6 points, and when i pull my hand away from it, it will continue to register points for some seconds (makes YAMTT go crazy).

My nexus is working fine, but after all this reading about broken devices/software, you start testing for yourself. The nexus is very slow in following the finger in YAMTT.

Just wanted to share my findings, anyway my device is still working fine and very ok
