Hi Dudes !

Anyone can help me to make that Program ftp://www.leadtek.nl/mirror/gps/Tools/WinCEMonitor.zip

usefull ?

I need it really to reset my Holux BT 236-Mouse, because every 2-3 Weeks that thing freeze and get no sat-fixes.

That is the only Program, who can fix that bug with a factory-settings reset on the mouse.

Now the Problem:

The Program Win Fast works on my VPA4,- but it shows me only these Ports to get a connection:

IRCOMM Com3

Serial_FIR Com2

Serial Com6 (RIL)

Serial_BTU Com7

Serial_dbg Com1 (Cable)

QCTComposi Com9 (Data Interface)

here is no Port 4 !

On my old XDA IIi the Program works on Com 6 and it shows me the Ports 1-6 and Port 9,- thats complete other Ports than under WM5.

My BT-Settings:

My GPS-Mouse come in Com4

and there is a incoming Port on Com8

In the GPS-Programm-Settings (Today, Settings, Connections)

There is Com Port 4 (Hardware)

and

Port 7 for Software

TomTom5 and Sky-Map (Flightnavigation)

both works fine with Port 4 like the Mouse-

but not Win Fast Navigator...

What is the best way to get a connection with these Program ?

I heard, that WM5 can manage all these Ports...

Anyone have an idea ???

I want to stop using my old Device,- but without these Program i need the old one too :?

Thanks for help,-

Jay
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] astage:
I tried WinFast Navigator with my Holux GPSlim236, but found no port configuration with which the o2 Exec (Universal) would communicate.

Before buying the Holux 236, I looked at many other manufacturer's manuals and many indicated that the retained current location can become lost or invalid leading to a long "Time-To-First-Fix" when next activated. This happens particularly when not activated for some time, e.g. between 20 and 60-days, or when physically moved by over 500km. In these circumstances, a cold restart of the GPS receiver would be necessary.

The Holux 236 does come with a utility on CD-ROM (called GPS Viewer) that can warm or cold restart the receiver. This utility is also available from the Holux web-site:

http://www.holux.co.uk/Products/gpslim236/download.shtml

GPS-Viewer works on the o2 Exec, although not all the screen is viewable in landscape mode, and the cold-reset command does work.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AgentJ:
Cool !

Thats correctly my opinion. I´m a pilot and fly many kilometers in short times, that is the reason, for the many full memorys on the SIRF III Chip.

After a factory reset, it work for a few days than it can´t fix again.

:evil:

But I didn´t know, that GPS-Viewer can do that thing and works on our device.

Thanks a lot,- but...yesterday i killed the damn mouse with too many factorystarts with my old XDA IIi and send it back to Holux.

They say, it needs only two or three days to get a new one.

They change it complete, and fix it with new software.

Also... why not ;-)

GPS-Viewer works after it too.

Greetings & many Thanks from Germany,

Jay :lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] astage:
Glad that you got a good response from Holux, and hope the new device and firmware is better for you.

I've not managed to find a manual that covers the GPS Viewer program. The attached .PDF is from another manufacturer's device, but briefly describes the cold reset function. Hope that it helps you.

[Micromax A116] Sunny K:
Hello everybody

I have a Micromax A116. The experience has been great.

Though from last few weeks i have been facing a trouble. When the device is connected to my laptop, i am not able to open any folder in the internal and external drives of the device. I am able to access those folders from the device itself but not from the laptop. :crying:

The issue has been prevailing since i connected my device to a desktop in my college library via the usb cable , to transfer few files. Some malwares may have been transferred as well.:rolleyes:

Before that it was working fine. I used to open folders and do copy paste stuff through laptop as well. Now i cannot.

All the folders in the drives have turned into shortcuts and give an error on double click. I have attached a snap of the same to be more clearer for you people. Please have a look and suggest a solution. Its been a pain to transfer stuff through bluetooth only.

From my side i scanned the drives of the device with Kaspersky Internet Security original licensed version , it found out some malwares and removed them but still the issue stays. It was done through laptop only.

If the same issue has been stated previously in the forum, i apologize for bringing it up again as i was not able to find a similar one.

I tried linking the snap to this thread directly but as i am a new user its not letting me do that. Please look at the attachment instead.

Thanks.
[Micromax A116] Hunter008:
seems like a malware problem

U need to create a backup of your data and format you sd card. seems to me a case of hidden folders, links are dummy.

>>> Try using attribute ("attrib") command, google it and run on your storage location.
[Micromax A116] is0l4ted:
It is a malware brother...

First delete all the .lnk files i.e. Shortcuts, a malware does it. If you have an anti-virus then scan it 1st. Antivirus will probably delete this .lnk files and you will not be able to see anything in your Storage but everything is there just hidden so DO NOT EVER FORMAT IT after you scan it. Now open "cmd" without quotes with administrator priviledges and :

attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*

[You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and

paste it.]

Note : Don't forget to replace the letter g with your flash drive letter.
[Micromax A116] Sunny K:
Due to a tight schedule i was not able to perform the suggestions given by you guys since i posted the issue here.

Just a while back i executed the attrib command and it worked.

Thankyou both of you. The attrib command got the hidden folders out and i am able to access them now.

I shift deleted the shortcut copy of those folders as my Kaspersky antivirus was not able to find a virus or malware as such and did not deleted it.

Now will i need to do the attrib command everytime i connect my mobile to PC and will these shortcuts come back ? Is the mobile completely malware free ?

Please suggest any anti-malware software . I have used AVG for mobile but that didnt find any malware previously and same with KIS.

There has been another issue that has come up from last 4 to 5 of days or more. The mobile battery is draining within an hour. The battery used to stay for 10 to 12 hours previously , i do a normal calling and playing subway surfer for 10 15 minutes max a day. But now even when the phone stays idle the battery drains rapidly. Even a pdf reading on lowest brightness takes the battery to a ride.:crying:

I am charging 3 to 4 times a day from 4 to 5% to 100%:crying:

Can the malware issue be the reason for this ? Because as i just got the hidden folders back , should i monitor it for sometime now ?

Its been just 7 months with the mobile. Please suggest. Thanks
[Micromax A116] Hunter008:
Re: Malware & BB

1) Dude your memory card will be malware free till you connect it back to your computer and access its content. in fact as per my understanding your folders will get hidden in any pendrive or hard drive you connect to your PC.

Most of the anti-malwares will be un effective towards this problem, So my suggestion to you is make a back up of your data in a hard drive and format your PC and run the attrib command when you first connect that hard drive back to your PC for restoring your back up.

2) As for mobile back up, according to your usage your battery back up is low. Try a factory reset of your CHD, if that doesnt help, get your battery replaced if its under warranty.

I'm having exactly the same issue with my one s, when it bootloops the only way to recover it is to boot into recovery, power off & reboot. Tried multiple CM/AOKP roms with the same issue.

As far as i know i'm on the latest firmware (how do you check in CM or is it baseband?) as it was RUU'd to 3.16.xxx then s-off'd, i'm not superCID currently as I had to change it back to HTC__001 to run the RUU. Hboot: 2.15, baseband: 1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L

Its a European (UK) phone with the S4 if that makes any difference

Any solution guys?

I spend the whole day running RUU's, re-locking, unlocking the phone, flashing different 4.3 AOSP ROMs but every time I boot the same thing happens: Sometimes I can't even get the rom to boot, but if it does, it usually crashes back to the splash screen after a couple of seconds. I am out of ideas. Any help?
[HTC One S] Urinal_Mint:
I flashed the JB firmware as per the firmware thread and it has mad my current rom (beanstalk, couple of builds ago) slightly more stable, however flashing anything else results in a bootloop.

Incidentally as well, starting maps navigating, hitting home, then going back into maps again results in bootlooping

Edit

Attached a logcat of the phone bootlooping caused by the maps issue above, did have one of it happening in maps but I fat fingered my cmd prompt and overwrote it. I'll grab another once its recovered

Reading through it it doesn't seem to have captured the actual bootloop, i used 'adb logcat < file.txt' to record it, or is there a better method of capture, using the -f flag as per the dev website gave me a read only error either 'adb logcat -f file.txt' from a path i have write access to or 'adb logcat - f <filepath>file.txt' can I get adb to continue writing between device reboots?

Just flashed the awesome kernel cleaner script and then flashed bubba kernel so far it seems to be working, will report whether it worked or not after i test it more...

Hey guys,

I wanted to ask you if there's a method to get the old ICS Lockscreen (that one with the slider) working on Sony JB (6.2.A.1.100). I tried copying the upnxtlockscreen.apk but that wouldn't change anything since it has to be something in the framework.

How could I get it back?

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Last night I started to run e2fsck on my /data partition to do a bit of investigation to see if had any corruption (again)

Anyway I unmounted /data in TWRP and went to the terminal and issued the following command:

e2fsck -fvyD /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

12 hours later and it was still running mainly reporting "Clone multiply-claimed blocks? Yes" Yes is because I have y flag turned on to answer yes to all questions.

So I killed it as it has never run this long before (previously 3 hours max).

I then formatted data which I thought would make it unnecessary and ran the command again after unmounting data and it is doing the same thing.....

Why?

.
.
.
(
inode
#
869248
. mod time
Sat Aug 25 18:23:27 2012
)
Clone multiply-claimed blocks? Yes

It appears to be doing this for many (if not all) inodes

Over and over.

This makes it seem like my /data partition is very corrupted and also Aug 25 is when I bought the device in 2012 so it has gone right back to the start.

I suspect it is somehow related to turning data journaling off whilst testing hunds kernels.

What is the definitive command to ensure data journaling is on please?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
That's strange - after formatting a partition, e2fsck must run in seconds and without errors, and it should definitely not bring up anything related to the old data. How did you format it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I formatted it using the big format data button in TWRP but yes I agree it doesn't appear to have done what would call a format? Maybe the equivalent of a quick format? How do I properly format the mmcblk0p8 partition?

If I just issue e2fsck -n /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 it comes back with clean. It is only when I force a scan that it finds all these errors.

Just reformatted and run again and it is dong the same again. ??

Btw what is the command to turn data journaling on? Or once formatted does journaling reset itself?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Can you find the following line in your recovery log? This would be the command that TWRP used to format.

make_ext4fs command:

Normally, formatting ext4 with default options enables the journal.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It reports the following:

make_ext4fs -l -16384 -a /data /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Looks plausible. And look what I've found:

http://sourceforge.net/p/e2fsprogs/bugs/292/

You could try running the make_ext4fs command manually with the "-w" (wipe) option added - if I understand the code correctly, that should issue discard requests for all blocks, similar to fstrim.
[Asus Transformer TF700] faustus1005:
I mentioned this during the fiasco we had in the cromi thread awhile back, but I think it got lost in the rush of comments, let me know if you get it fixed, would love to be able to complete a check.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yeah something is not quite right with running fsck on the TF700. Oddly on my prime it runs without issue. I wonder if Asus has changed the way inodes are mapped. I know Samsung do this. I wonder if contributes to any lag as well?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Let me do another backup and try the -w command as well. It's quite frustrating as I wonder if being able to run fsck correctly would help solve some of the lag issues we see.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Adding the -w command fixed it (I think) e2fsk now completes in about a minute with no errors :)

Problem is now when I check if data journaling is on with a mount command there is no indication that it is - how to turn it off?

This is the command issued that turned it off I believe it's the "-O" that turns the journaling off:

run_program("/tmp/tune2fs.ext4", "-O", "^has_journal", "-c", "1", "-i", "1d", "-m", "0", "-o", "^journal_data_writeback", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8");

is it as easy as issuing the same command without the "-O", "^has_journal" to get it back on?

OK I found some info looks like I need to issue this command in the installer?

run_program("/tmp/tune2fs.ext4", "-O", "+has_journal", "-c", "5", "-i", "5d", "-m", "0", "-o", "^journal_data_ordered", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8");

I'll try that out now :)

Thanks for all the help [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] - I'm slowly getting there I think. :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You can try this.

tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

You should see your system mounting has a "has_journal".

If it is not there, then your journal is off.

To turn it on.

tune2fs -O +has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

You should use the data_write for your journal to improve performance.

If you do a clean installation for your rom, the e2fsck should run less than a minute if you have a minimal apps installed. However, if you restore a nandroid backup for your system, it will take forever even though you don't have any app. I don't know why it does that with the nandroid backup..

I think that when you use e2fsck with a nandroid restore from your backup, the e2fsck is trying to convert your ext4 system to ext3 system.. It is just my guess. Maybe you and _that can figure why it does that.. Good luck...:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Interesting, however, restored a nandroid and reran e2fsck and it finished in 30 secs with no errors :) Installed my ROM and ran it again and same again so it seems my problems are resolved for now :)

Thanks for the tips on data journaling.

BTW can you reup or send me the latest ET please - ready and confident to test it again now :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Haha, I found out that when I restore a good backup from nandroid and have more than 50% of problem with e2fsck.

I am still on a business trip. Let see if my thumb drive has the latest ET. Otherwise, I have it on my personal laptop at home. I will let you know in bit..:)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migsims:
This can happen in SSDs. On the phone without knowing what type of controller tech is being used with the nand it's hard to say.

This is easily proved by benchmarks that show certain higher capacity SSDs earning higher speed benchmarks than the same models in smaller capacities.

Take a look here: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/ssd-charts-2013/AS-SSD-4K-Q64-Random-Read,2786.html

See how the 840 Evo in 1gb beats the 840 pro 128 ? ( basically the evo is the step down from the pro line. But increase the capacity enough and it beats the Pro. )

But like I said I have no idea how the actual nand and what the controller setup is on the nexus 5.
