So, I deleted the gps.conf content and cleared a-gps data but still was able to get lock and see the glonass satelites. Am I doing something wrong or what?

I installed your zip after that and didn't see any difference.

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Use faster fix - manually delete contents of data/gps folder - Reboot

check

screenshot showing you applied from faster fix.

What files you can see in data/GPS folder?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
I have Re Tested again and result is same as i have stated in OP.

I have installed faster fix and 4 time tested and not single time it get fixed with glonass. I have used same europe setting like you. Also it took long time to fix.

And after using Europe setting with tool. you can see glonass satellite here.

So may be data have not been cleared (also needs reboot after deleteing gps folder contents) Can you check again what files you have deleted to clear contents.

Hello!

how do You think: is it possible to flash it in kitkat and gt-i9305?

I think I've lost ability of fixing via glonass sats.

I don't know if it's problem of 4.4 ver. and/or kernel.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tabi304:
dear dr ketan i am having Korean note shv-e250s.i was on 4.1.2 and GPS was working excellent no issues at all.

after upgrading it to 4.3 sammy custom rom and also running CM 11 on it.... (i can install N7105 roms on SHV-e250x both being LTE)

i have lost GPS signals rather its not functional at all. i dont see any satellite normal or GLONAS...went back to factory rom , tried your gps fix,did other changes in GPS.conf but no result....

i read some where on the net that getting into service mode byrunning *#197328640# and going into UMTS main menu and selectiog COMMON

and then selectiong NV REBUILD solved the problem...

but on STOCK ROM this command is not running and on CUSTOM rom it says no support in custom binary

what should i do ???

plz help

[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION], can this gps fix work perfectly with the current custom tw roms based on Kitkat? No updates? Thank you. :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Yeah working fine on kk too.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] karajim80:
You dont have to flash it if you dont want to.

You can extract from the zip the file you need for your country

and push with a root explorer.I did it this way and it works like a charm.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ktwo:
can this help to fix glonass on samsung kitkat s4 (B8 rom?) ? the gps.conf there is different than this one (i know NE5 firmware fixed it but it has reboots)

tried but doesnt work
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] FreyrNjord:
dr.ketan

I have a Galaxy Nexus (ie. Google phone Third edition) whose GPS barely works when used in foreign countries, ie. without a data connection: Even when riding a bike the whole day in open skies, it is rarely able to locate me, and even when it does, it fails following while I move around.

I only use my phone for phone + reading the web + geolocalizing.

Before I buy a new phone, I was wondering if getting a GPS + Glonass smartphone such as the Nexus 5 will solve that problem, or are smartphones just not very good tools for geolocalizing?

Thank you.

Using GPS fixer with phonegap.

Can we use GPS fixer with phonegap framework application(android) to get correct latitude,longitude through GPS?.

If it is possible than how can we achieve this in phonegap.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] GrippingSphere:
This solved my problem of not getting a gps fix when using my gps navigation app on my old korean note 2 lte phone E250S.

I had to temporarily use my old note 2 because my latest phone was damaged.

Combined with dr.ketan's bloatware remover and selected Xposed modules, my old phone became very snappy.

Thanks to the Developers.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] borisSweden:
dr.ketan, how where you able to port unsupported Glonass? Did you port or did you edit NV items? Is it just a kernal change?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
Curious if anyone here has come from the new droid maxx and what your thoughts are compared to the g2? Haven't found much on the net regarding a comparison between the two...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timsterzzz:
I had the Maxx for 14 days. I was really happy with a few things like the amazing battery life and active notifications. I returned it on the last day over the concern for lack of development potential. That was just an educated gamble based on my history with Motorola phones. Even though the cpu isn't bleeding edge like the G2, the interface is just as quick imo. Both phones suffer from lack of accessories so that's a tie. I like the active notifications of the Maxx, versus the knock on feature of the G2. On the other hand I like a LED light to see notifications further away. No LED kinda bugged me on the Maxx. Battery life is still stellar on the G2, don't let that worry you. External build and feel, the Maxx feels premium with the carbon fiber. I kinda like plastic phones so the G2 construction doesn't bother me,actually feels like it would survive a drop better. G2 has a much better screen and camera. The Maxx camera just plain sucks. If you are a phone picture taker, I'd eliminate the Maxx. Hope this info helps.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
Yeah thanks, that is definitely helpful! The reason why I'm asking is because I saw these two detailed reviews on each... Take a look and see if this is your expedience, especially with regard to the camera and screen, and the speed... Droid maxx, Lg g2
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toddnbrown:
presupposed kethism

If you left the Droid Maxx due to "lack of development", I don't think the LG G2 is gonna be much better. Let's face it, development is always going to favor the big-sellers, and I just don't see the G2 becoming that kind of success.

I am actually thinking of ditching the G2 for the Droid Maxx, a couple reasons: Knock On feature, although a good idea, in implementation, just plain doesn't work well. It almost never works the first time. And the only other choice is to turn the phone around and figure out where the hell the power button is (Verizon version.) The buttons on the back are just plain awful.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericdabbs:
I don't know if I agree with that. I think LG has a real winner here with the LG G2 not only because it has better specs than the GS4 or HTC One but the battery life is just amazing on this phone. I just think its going to take some more time for development to pick up and lets face it Tmobile and Sprint haven't started selling the G2 yet so its too early to tell how much of a success the LG G2 will be. I already see development happening on the LG G2. I just think the major hurdle still is to unlock the bootloader.

I know a lot of Sprint folks like myself that are patiently waiting for the LG G2 to come out already. I do agree that Verizon butchered the Verizon version of the LG G2 phone with its crappy buttons and its software.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrgilbert79:
Disagree devs are going to support the phone they can...twrp or cwm required. This may very well be the last phone that supports devs from VZN with the way it's going. As far as knock on goes it works 9 out of 10 ...you either have to be a moron or you have installed something that interferes with it like an incompatible launcher.

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

I quite prefer the smaller metal buttons and the power button has an led ring in it. The giant plastic squeaky creaky buttons are the real fail. Plus wireless QI charging is nice. The VZN version is the premium look and feel IMO but to each there own. Some people can use a #2 pencil and others need giant kindergarten pencils ;)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toddnbrown:
"As far as knock on goes it works 9 out of 10 ...you either have to be a moron or you have installed something that interferes with it like an incompatible launcher."

No launcher installed. And I went back to the Verizon Store, the one in the store is the same way. Guess I'm a moron lol. But for me that's 0 for 2 phones, but could be just bad luck.

The phone is great in many ways. I haven't decided to return it for sure, but the fact is, FOR ME, Knock On sucks, and I don't PERSONALLY care for the buttons on the back of the phone.

I absolutely hate when you give some minor criticism based on your own experience, and people take it to heart like you insulted their family. The guy came in here and asked for people's experience with the LG G2. Just because you bought one, doesn't mean it's perfect, or that you can't criticize it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timsterzzz:
"Lack of development potential" big difference with the rest of my statement. One has been out for a month and the other two weeks. I wouldn't have made a decision based on that. Neither phone is going to be a volume success. My assessment was based between the 2 phones and the history of the brand.

---------- Post added at 02:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 AM ----------

OP specifically asked specifically asked opinions from people coming from the New Droid Maxx to the LG G2. Hey that's me and I gave my opinion. Trolling peoples comments rather than carefully reading the original OP and the comments made by others doesn't play well in the community. Good luck with your own opinions and phone adventures.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrgilbert79:
I gave him my experience and I'm not the first to admit that if you continue to knock like someone with ADHD that it's going to come on and go off grow a brain and patience.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toddnbrown:
lol

Thanks for the advice!!! lol. Sensitive bunch, this group. One comment about how Knock On doesn't seem to work well, and you are called Troll, Moron, and diagnosed with ADHD. Unfortunately, it still just doesn't work that well for me. Apparently some others are also experiencing difficulty with this feature, as there is at least one thread on this forum dedicated to that subject.

Cut me some slack, I didn't even mention the fact that it is easy to cover the microphone with your pinky finger while talking, or the fact that the external speaker is pure garbage. Or the piece of crap they are trying to pass off as an IR blaster. These issues are probably just my phone though.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timsterzzz:
If you have issues and questions, just find a relevant thread or start your own.(I just did) Again the topic for this thread is moving from the New Droid Maxx to Lg G2. Basic forum rules of staying on topic and all is good.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Dude, if you find that many faults with this phone, just return it and get on with your life. It's just a phone man, not that serious.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrgilbert79:
Those 2 points are absolutely valid ? they did slack on the IR and speaker.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
Lol, I love your dry sense of humor :) yeah I've been having knock on issues with mine as well
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Walter21026:
Phones arent without faults nowadays, but they are forgiven more and more commerical success. Look at the GS4 with its eye tracking software. How consistent is it? what about swiping over the sensor to change save web pages? Ever accidentally done that? It works when you dont want it to doesnt it? Does it work when you want it too? We are just crossing over into an era of gesture and movement sensor features. Give it time to mature. We have arrived at a time where hardware is beyond what we could imagine, we need to wait for software to catch up. If your problem is with software it still needs time to mature just like we all used to complain about hardware back in the ICS days, remember that?

Still deciding

Leaning toward the Maxx. i don't have great eyes and can't appreciate any small differences in screen resolution. Photo quality for the Maxx is probably adequate for my needs.The big issue for me is my need for tethering which has already been accomplished on both devices. I like to ROM but I am less likely to have an urge to flash ROMs with the Maxx as it is fairly close to stock. I guess my question is down the road, after any updates, are either of these phones likely to lose root and consequently my ability to tether?

1. If bootloader is still locked (as it looks like it will be forever) can I decline an OTA?

2. Looking ahead if I don't upgrade via OTA, is one of these devices more likely to be hampered?

3. And are either of these devices more likely to retain root after an OTA through another dev exploit?

I know this involves a lot of speculation but I have come to THE PLACE for knowledge and advice.

Thanks

As requested by some users, here is a flashcast file that will force the chromecast to use Unlocator for DNS instead of Google's DNS servers. For those who don't know what Unlocator DNS is, read more here: https://unlocator.com/

NOTE: This is NOT a standalone ROM, just a add-on, so you will need to have a rooted system image already installed to use this. Enjoy!

Download Here: https://mega.co.nz/#!tBcQEIzR!WZ_7hw7Z-tNLOOk7SV7n_wn-7TQGVgEdNfb2ETJ582I

Install Instructions:

Setup and Install Flashcast on a Jump Drive: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2452838

Download, and put eureka_image.zip on your Flashcast jump drive.

Plug the Flashcast jump drive into the chromecast, hold the button, and plug in power to boot the device.

Flashing will take 3~ minutes, be patient! As long as the chromecast LED is white, it is working.

Once done, the device will reboot and you are good to go.

Revert To Stock: https://mega.co.nz/#!xUUzwbLI!MdAUAGnlls3tCDAlgaLE_0USGAZrRn2ZudlmiJS4i3E (This will make your chromecast use Google's DNS servers again)

Please let me know if you have any issues! I am in the US, so I can't fully test its functionality.

EDIT: If you know of a better unblocking DNS provider, let me know and I will make a updated image.
[Google Chromecast] bormeth:
Just to clarify is the v13300 built into this? :) Or will i have to use Flashcast, then 13300 and last but not least this? :)

(I will test it out ASAP, still looking for the OTG cabel. If anyone from Denmark is reading this and have one PM me.) :)
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
Nope, this should be flashed AFTER the 13300 image is flashed. It is a stand-alone mod, and not a full system image.
[Google Chromecast] spelaben:
Thank you so much for this mod, just ordered a powered Micro-USB OTG cable and will report back when I installed flashcast and got netflix to work. :)
[Google Chromecast] kyda75:

[Google Chromecast] bormeth:
If im using this DNS changer, would i need to change anything in my router? :D
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
Nope! just make sure your router is not intercepting DNS requests. Only routers I know that do this though are ones running dd-wrt or tomatoUSB.
[Google Chromecast] dewk:
If I wanted to use unblock-us dns servers do I simply change the NS entry in the resolv.conf inside the zip? Or is there any other magic involved?

Thanks for your work.
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
You would need to modify both resolv.conf and 20-dns.conf with the DNS server you want to use.
[Google Chromecast] bormeth:
Works like a dream :D
[Google Chromecast] stryker09:
well if my router is already sending out the Unlocator DNS servers via DHCP - this should be moot?

I haven't tried it yet though.

side-note: kudos on these images [MENTION=2212097]ddggttff3[/MENTION]! here's to the next AirCast reboot!
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
Unless you have a router that intercepts all DNS requests (Ex. DD-WRT Firmware), then the Chromecast will ignore the DHCP server's DNS settings as it is hard coded to use google's DNS servers. This mod will change the hardcoded DNS in the chromecast to use Unlocator instead of google.
[Google Chromecast] knightmedz:
Can't modify files in Windows :(

Hi guys, I tried to change the nameservers to SmartyDNS ones but it seems Flashcast can't execute imager.sh anymore. Has anyone been able to rezip the files in windows and successfully flash it to their chromecast? I kept getting this error ->

Clearing OTAs

I think its because I'm using windows and the original zip file was compressed using UNIX. Would appreciate it if someone can please create me a modified one in UNIX with these nameservers ->

nameserver 37.139.11.137

nameserver 192.241.143.47

Thanks in advance!
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
Yeah, when modified in windows it looses its executable flag. What you can do is in the Flash Cast Jumpdrive, make a folder named eureka_image, and put all of the files from the zip in that folder, and then delete the eureka_image.zip. Flashcast will detect the folder, and flash from that, and it will allow it to have the executable bit thanks to NTFS to EXT permissions :)
[Google Chromecast] knightmedz:
Worked like a charm! You really get to learn something new everyday. Thanks a lot!
[Google Chromecast] kyda75:
This is news, what I usually do, I use 7-zip and do the editing/updating directly inside the zip file, this seems to retain the executable bits.
[Google Chromecast] y2whisper:
do I need to edit both files for the dns change to work?
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
Yes, you should edit both files.

Thanks so much for this. Bought two chrome casts even though I have one TV when it was launched. Finally that second one became worth the extra buy

Makes Chromcast worthwhile outside US

After much searching, this is what you need to be able to use chromecast with netflix and hulu outside of the USA if you don't have a router that allow DNS script changes (Mysterious stuff indeed). Greatwork. I have cancelled my account with Unblockus and changed to Unlocator which is currently free. This thread needs to be at the top of the chromcast tread list.

[Google Chromecast] stangri:
You said that the DNS entries are hardcoded in the chromecast files -- is it possible to create a hack which would force chromecast to use dhcp to obtain the dns settings from my router?
[Google Chromecast] Croptop:
Has anyone tried using the UnoTelly DNS servers? I tried editing the file to add the UnoTelly DNS servers but my ChromeCast only booted to a black screen. Of course, that could be completely unrelated. I'm re-flashing the 13300 firmware and will try again.

Update: Reflashing 13300 and then reflashing my modified DNS server file got rid of my black screen problem. I still wasn't able to stream Netflix but that could be because I'm not on my home network where I've got UnoTelly's service properly configured.
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
Hmm, I will mess around and see, but I don't think so. If I get somewhere, i will definitely post something here
[Google Chromecast] Croptop:
Thought I'd post a follow up. Now that I have everything up and running at home, I can confirm that ChromeCast works fine with UnoTelly.

Now we just need BBC iPlayer to add ChromeCast support.
[Google Chromecast] Rvanlaak:
This also would be great in my case. Over here, we've got an ISP that forces us to connect via their DNS. That is not a problem in general, but since the Chromecast is connecting via the Google DNS everything is blocked.
[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
I have successfully found a way to force the chromecast to use the DHCP DNS advertised servers! :victory: Expect a new thread within a hour.

This has worked very nicely. I'd just like to check with other people using this: do you find that your Chromecast remote device (phone, tablet, computer) has to also use the Unlocator DNS in order for Netflix movies to load? When I try launching a Netflix movie from my phone that's using my ISP's DNS, the video will load up to 25% but no further.
[Google Chromecast] cadguycad:
i usually use hola for getting around location restrictions. With this update to chromecast i can now cast from my laptop to the CC with hola (using usa netflix in UK). Really happy about this!!!!!.

I haven't been able to cast from my phone or tablet with hola. Gonna try unlocator setting in my phone/tablet when i can get the CC back from my son!

im also wondering if this hack works in conjuction with kyocast (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2516164) or would it overwrite this hack?

[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
Before anyone gets excited about trying this, be aware that it's a monthly subscription fee DNS service.
[Google Chromecast] unsolvedriddle:
True $5 a month. but you can try it with no credit card for a week for free. Also i believe we will have to pay for unlocator as soon as its out of beta.
[Google Chromecast] mdsamp89:
I have looked into Unlocator and saw that it is still in its Beta stage and appears that one day it will become a pay service. If I were to change the DNS to Unlocator on my CC would I need to begin paying for Unlocator once it becomes a pay service or once its installed am I just allowed access to it?

Also, for those who have changed the DNS with Unlocator have you had success using the Hola Chrome extension with your Unlocator CC?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Unlocator sign-up doesn't require a credit card, so I'm guessing that when it becomes a pay service they'll give everyone notice in advance, and it'll just stop working for those who aren't paying.
