My GPS works - but only after a long time with clear sky (~ 5 minutes...). Also there is much(!) weaker signal compared to other devices I have. And as soon as there are some buildings / trees closeby the signal is lost again. Earlier it worked quite fine (stock Rom), so I do not think it is hardware related.

I did more research with the logs (still - I am not expert!) and there is another related log:

GCoreFlp: W: No location to return for getLastLocation()

Walter79 added fixes to the kernel for OmniRom - maybe I should try to switch completely to OmniRom? Somehow I don't dare to 'just' switch the kernel as described by Walter79...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Swidilator:
I flashed the zip, no help I think, does the fact that I'm running ART have anything to do with it?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
No, absolutely nothing.

What country do you currently reside in?

I'll try to mod the zip for your area.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Swidilator:
South Africa[emoji1]
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Take this file:

http://s.go.ro/7hy9h

I've added the NTP servers for your area.

Copy it to /etc and replace the original gps.conf.

Make sure you have permissions set to rw-r--r--

Reboot.

Test your gps with a dedicated navigation app, like sygic (free trial).

I hope this works - I have excellent gps location here in Romania, though I think Glonass helps a lot.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Swidilator:
Thanks man, will try it [emoji2]
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Swidilator:
Tried it, no luck hey, but I'll tell you what I will do, when I get back from vacation in two weeks, I'll clean flash, and check then. Thanks for the help anyways
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Too bad :(

With that conf file I get TTFF ~25sec.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Allen Hu:
Everytime after applying a theme and rebooting, the theme disappears, only the themed bootanimation and SystemUI are still there, others switch back to holo.

Any idea on how to fix :confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Same issue on Carbon, so it seems to be related to CM sources. I guess you'll just have to report it as a bug (if nobody has already) and wait for a fix :/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rob rich:
Deinstall xposed ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
possible bug: with M8 I cannot access the settings menu. It FC each time - anyone else having a similar pb.?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
m8???it is not yet released
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
But is for our device?and where did u find it ? I don't have nightlies since 07

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

Ahahahaha excuseme...i thought it was milestone 8 hahahah
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Swidilator:
Do my eyes deceive me? We actually have a build stable enough for m8!! :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Stable mi culo...No access to settings, not even via activities shortcuts can hardly be called "stable"
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Swidilator:
Well, there's always next month...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
..or CM10.2 RC2 :D now THAT is stable.

And Omni.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Swidilator:
Yeah, but I'm not wanting 100% stable, and miss out on features, I'm happy with 90% stable and actual features. Still not sure how a snapshot can be less stable than a nightly, but whatever :P
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Allen Hu:
Hmmm...So it's xposed that is causing the problem...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rob rich:
Yes
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Well I aint giving up xposed no matter what :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rob rich:

Wipe settings' app data.

But where did u find M8? Tsubasa did not get M yet. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
it is for htc m8 man...i thought this too ahah...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
I wiped everything, even my dog's face. No go.

The M8 build vanished from downloads, or so it seems - if necessary i'll upload my copy for disbelievers:D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
here is a misunderstanding man...i really believed that m8 means htc m8 because in that changelog there was no tsubasa word...in the meanwhile the latest nightly with all m8 changelog merged is released!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] insomniashades:
is there any body here can tell me where can i find the changelog for FXP 327 release? can't find it on the blog
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Yo!

Which is the best?

a) original gps.conf (with test ntp server)

b) modifiy (change) ntp server to our continent

c) exclude default ntp servers and add our country's ntp server

d) modifiy (change) ntp server to our continent + add our country's ntp server (so b + c :D)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Swidilator:
Got my GPS working, not exactly sure what I did, but it works now, and pretty quick
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emartino:
It also takes some time on my device, sometimes even 5 minutes where nothing is happening and suddenly it works...

I assume network / WLAN-based location service is also still not working for you?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Swidilator:
Na, mines not working, but nobody's is currently. I also use Faster GPS on the play store, and it seems to help speed things up, but as I say, within seconds I can get to 10 metre accuracy
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emartino:
I haven't seen Tsubasa specific changes in the CM changelog since a long time - does anyone know how to report a bug - other than in the forum here? My good old Defy (on the latest Quarx nightly) has working network-location, so I assume it has to do with a Tsubasa specific setting somewhere...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] harrymason37:
How can i check if kernel i downloaded is not corrupted?

respawn
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
I would say c+b -country first and then continent.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Well if its under 7mb in size its corrupted, also if your phone doesn't boot (duh) :p. If that happens just flash an old one via fastboot. Also you can check cm's jenkins page for build errors, but they usually don't upload if a build failed
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Swidilator:
Jenkins knows a lot of information that would help a lot of situations, if only people asked it more often[emoji1]
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
With the latest, 0711 nightly, my phone does not recognize headsets and plays the sounds, music on phone's speaker. :( Any confirmation? I'm back to 0710 which does not have this bug.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
No problem with a Bluetooth headset.

I cannot say for a normal headset though, I will test this if I get my hands on one.

L. E. - no problem with normal headset as well.

Note: I am using poweramp.

Apollo is disabled by me (I keep it installed but disabled so that updating the ROM will not install it and activate it again)

A problem I have is with the touchscreen being VERY jumpy.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cht64bit:
My cm 11 m8 on Xperia v, but this release is visible only from cm web site mobile version..wwhy?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Lol, interesting. I had problem with sony headset and headphones too at 0711, but no problem at 0710. I also disabled Apollo and using Poweramp too, so I don't understand why did it only for me. :D Nevermind, I'll see with future releases. Thanks for the fast feedback.

Btw. what is the difference between an M release and a nightly? Why is that so important? The only advantage I know is that the fact that we can report bugs on JIRA (if I remember correctly).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Swidilator:
M release is considered as what the stables used to be, the code is frozen a few days before, and its less bleeding edge, and hopefully good enough for a daily driver, unlike nightlies(this may not be the best description, but that's what I know of it)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
CyanogenMod for the Xperia V

Development channela.k.a. Nightlies, usually generated every 24 hours, experimental, newest features,unstable!*

Release channela.k.a. M-builds or Milestone snapshots, all or nearly all issues resolved, stable for daily use

Based on the statements above, M should rule...

Based on practical experience those statements are... troll.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Swidilator:
Yeah I hear our first M release was not something to be looked up to[emoji1]
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Okay, the next, 0712 nightly is fine again, it recognizes my headsets.

Btw. do sy know that which is the latest build with working network location? Or does Anyony have made it working somehow? :P
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alexbo:
So what's your verdict after using the M8 version?

Is it stable enough, does battery drain slightly slower, etc?

I'm on Dirty Unicorns at the moment, but as it has the Bluetooth issue that annoys me a lot (I use my phone in the car a lot) I was maybe thinking of trying CM again.

Please feedback so I can know how well its handling.

And whoever is testing the nightly, if you think its going well, please let us know as well.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
In my opinion cm is just as stable as omni (dirty is based on it) except it doesn't have the Bluetooth bug. You can also check out carbon. It's pretty much just like cm except for much more customizations and neat features.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cht64bit:
There are some softreboot, but is fairly stable. There are some hoover heating that drain battery...

Inviato dal mio LG-V500 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emartino:
Also for me it is really stable (I am mostly on the latest nightly). I use it on a daily basis. Calls in the car via BT work fine, I didn't test playing music via BT. BT 4 also works fine - I have an Android Wear Watch from Samsung paired since a few days :)

Only issue in my opinion is the missing location via WLAN / GSM. Battery life could be better - but it is not really disturbing me.

Does anyone know the difference between FXP (http://fxpblog.co/cyanogenmod/cyanogenmod-11/) and CM (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=tsubasa&type=)? I assume it is more or less the same?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
to me m8 is working fast and all is working very well...no bugs by now...battery duration is good enough!very stable indeed...no softreboots to me
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alexbo:
Dumb question... where do I find the M8 version?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Swidilator:
I see it as normal
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cht64bit:
My reboot happen when I use data connection like 3g, and I need to disable lte function to improve stability..

The link to m8

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
All? Network location too? Because I also tried M8 and I did not see any change in that.

Btw. I am also using the latest nightly and I have to say it is almost totally stable, even with ART. I have 0.8% battery consuption in deep sleep with facebook, messenger, hangouts, whatsapp+, skype - without greenify. The consuption in awake state is a little bit more significant, but I can still deal with it. So I am quite satisfied with it, except the network location issue ofc. :P
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
Yes man...sometimes it takes a while but yes it's working...i don't understand what changed because in cm10.2 all worked very good with gps
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
I did not mean GPS. I mean networks, like mobile data or wifi. So, "Energy saving" location mode.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
Yes it works all ok regarding that no problems by now...u did a clean install?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
:-O Yes, ofc. U did with latest nightly, FXP, M8 and even with flashing sony 4.3 baseband before CM. Others reported the same issue. I can't believe you :D :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
So what can i do to show you that is working?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Nothing, I'm just kiddin'. :D Which gapps did u flash exactly?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
Latest Banks gapps with google search
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
I am too. I have no more ideas. You are the only tsubasa user on this planet, who has inexplicable worling network location in CM11. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
What do u refer with network location?with gps in device mode or high accuracy?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
When your phone determines your location with wifi or mobile networks, not with GPS. GPS is disabled, so not 'Device only' mode (which is GPS only mode) and not 'High accuracy' mode (which includes wifi and mobile networks, but GPS too, so if your phone can't show your location immedaitely using networks, itt will show it with GPS). So, use 'Energy saving' mode ("half" location sign) with connected wifi and/or mobile data connection to test. (If a location sign appears in the top right statusbar, your phone is trying to find your location with GPS, which is not needed now.)

Btw. I reported the issue on JIRA, so please guys, check in at https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-4649.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
Apparently you are right man and i'm an idiot[emoji1]i didn't understand what u really mean...so yes neither bbattery mode or high accuracy working...i apologize
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
There is nothing to apologize for man. My english is not the best neither. :D Nothing happened, thanks for the confirmation. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] anuragchauhan00:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emartino:
[MENTION=4762739]banciii[/MENTION]: I saw in your footer that you are using a 3.4 Kernel from FXP. Somehow I have not yet understood how FXP and CM are related to each other - sorry for my ignorance! When I e.g. install the latest FXP release - will I then have this kernel automatically? What is the benefit? Or will the kernel be another additional install? What is the difference between the two releases (FXP and CM)? Or is it the same? I assume network location will also not work with this kernel...

I tried to find more details by searching by was not successfull :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
It is the same. FXP team is the official CM maintainer for Xperias. When you flash official CM, you flash FXP's build with it's kernel. You can see it in your device info in the bottom of settings. The only differences are the release dates and the kernel logo.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gorneman:
hi to all,

my phone is suffering from sudden shutdowns especially when i'm on dual carrier hsdpa. In latest days they are more frequently. Is it something related to roms (It happen with cyanogenmod and carbon rom)?. Thanks

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Allen Hu:
Mediaserver is draining a lot of battery here...

Maybe because I have my headphones plugged in?

Also, is there a good way to block wakelocks such as Google Play Services?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Mine is not draining so much, but I have not checked it during music, so maybe yes.

Did you try CM's built-in App ops? In privacy settings.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
I tried some tinkering with gapps too..seems to have worked:

The result was obtained indoors, with location set to "Battery Saving" mode.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Swidilator:
What did you do?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
For location test I used the app. made by the guy here:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=57707#c10

There was, of course, no result so I decided to make a fresh install of the latest CM version (07.14) and I used my "ancient" gapps-jb-20130326-minimal, which were the best, as far as I remember.

Then I manually replaced the apps with more recent components like Phonesky.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk, PrebuiltGmsCore.apk from the zip with GApps_Minimal_4.4.3 I normaly use, so that I would eliminate the errors I got.

I was even able to switch to ART.

And it seems to have worked - I also get my location in Google Maps, indoors and without GPS.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emartino:
Wow - cool! Did you pack all this together in one zip? If yes - could you share it? Thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
And did u let the system, the play store app to update itself and it's components? Or you disabled the network and just replaced those apps u mentioned.

And what about deep sleep? Did this trick resolved that too?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
After flashing the ROM and the 4.3 (JB) gapps I bypased adding a google account - I guess this did not allow the play store and services to update.

Then I manually replaced the outdated versions of the apps (in 4.3 they were installed in /system/apps so I had to delete them manually from there) with the newer versions in /system/priv-app.

So

- flash latest CM11 07.14 ROM and 4.3 (JB) gapps,

-reboot without adding a google account,

-see what errors come up (playstore, google services, google account manager)

- replace those faulty/outdated apps (example: Phonesky.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk, PrebuiltGmsCore.apk ) by deleting the old ones from /system/app and adding the newer ones in /system/priv-app and setting the proper permissions.

- reboot

- add your google account in settings

- test network location with that testing app and google maps - success!

Alternatively, in CM with KK gapps i tried to add NetworkLocation.apk from JB gapps to /system/app but this did not work.

I guess there must be something else that helped - maybe a module or something else (remember, I left all other JB gapps libs/framework in place, I only replaced APKs)

For the battery drain - I have no clue,

The same goes for deep sleep - I needed my apps back so I reverted to my backup, but I DID made a backup to the ROM in the "network location working" version)

For the zip request I guess these gapps would look like Frankenstein's monster:D

Here is my attempt at compiling them into a flashable ZIP:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
guys everytime i use google maps and after i close it play services remains active...wtf is happening?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
No luck with your manual and no luck with your zip neither. :( but thank you for your efforts. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
I'm sorry about that.... will try to retrace my steps again this weekend and take better notes.

However, I think we can at least say that the network location issue comes solely from gapps and not the OS itself - it looks like CM isn't responsible for this "bug".
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
But if this isnt a CM issue, why is Omni working like a charm? I'm a little confused.

Might really have to do with some libs..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emartino:
I think the battery drain (wakelock) can be blamed to the latest GApps, but not the missing network location. Seems like on other platforms they are working fine (on my old Defy with latest nightly...). According to the Jira issue it is not working on Xperia V and Mint. Maybe some interfaces / settings / config-xml changed here over time?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Can you confirm that network location is working in Omni? Maybe by running the test app I linked in my previous posts?

Remember, we're talking about indoor location, without GPS.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Meanwhile, I think I found another deep sleep bug. It would be nice, if someone could confirm this:

I am not sure about the process yet, but if I switch to airplane mode from connected mobile data and/or wifi network, deep sleep is fine. But after I switch back, I mean turn off the airplane mode and the phone turns back my mobile data and/or wifi connection and switch off the screen (lock the phone), no deep sleep. In better battery stats, my deep sleep time is not increasing until I play a little with the data toggles and maybe the screen/lock. So as I said, it looks like a little bit random for me, at least yet, but I am sure about something at airplane mode is not okay. I realized it when I was on low battery and switched on airplane mode to save some energy and after 10-20% I saw that it drains the battery like I would still use my phone constantly. Checked BBS and it showed 100% awake. :/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
confirm this in omni location found in 2 secs with network location!!!so it is a cm related bug!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Yes, it is. And a tsubasa dev at FXP believes he already know the problem and how to fix it. He said, tomorrow will check it out.

Edit: Oh, and DO NOT flash 715 nightly. The Settings is completely vanished :-O :D

And the apk can't be downgraded manually, because the root also gone. :-\
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
Very good man crossed fingers!thank u a lot!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Maybe 715 can still usable, if u reboot into recovery, then choose fix su after exit
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rob rich:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Yeah, meanwhile I reflashed 715 with cache/dalvik rewipe and everything was fine, so I really don't understand why did that first, with cmupdater. :D Sorry for false alarm. :P
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I can confirm it works.

Using battery saving location mode I get a location. :good:

This is using my own homebuilt Omni, but it shouldnt make a difference to walter79`s version. :)

Using latest Play Services, by the way :D

EDIT: Okay.. Just noticed I'm a little late. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Allen Hu:
Battery is pretty good in deep sleep, 6 hours took only 5% :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Is there anybody else, who experience charging loss in heavy use, like running a game?

I connected my V to the original stock wall charger at 27% and it charged while I was using some basic apps, like browser, facebook, messaging apps etc. Then at about 92% I started a game (clash of clans). After a few mins, I quit and noticed that the LED is off and the battery animation is not working (the circle was not rotating) in the status bar. (Donno when it stopped during the game.) However, in the quick settings, the battery tile showed "charging", but it was false, cause I just saw when the battery indicator dropped from 91% to 90%. Then after a few mins, when my device's back was not so hot, the LED just turned ON, just as the battery animation, so it looks like the charging came back and the % is increasing again.

I have already noticed it earlier a few times I think. The cable is fine, earlier I re-plugged the cable and in most of the cases, the charging came back. Now it came back without touching the cable.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Yes, this happens to me as well during heavy use.

I believe it's the battery thermal protection that kicks in when the phone heats up too much due to the combined heat resulting from charging + high cpu usage.
