I'm sorry you misunderstood... But every where you live on earth, satellite are always available... If your phone is not able to locate your position an a range of 30 meters, please consider that probably you have an hardware problem.

Gps location system by satellite is the only one that can locate you... And on these roms it works.

Last but not least: try other roms and may be you will find a better one... Nobody here is pushing you to use this stuff provided for free.

Thanks

God, you are not listening to me at all. I love this ROM. It's smooth and fast. I know how location works, I'm an IT engineer. Sometimes, it show correct location, most of the time I'm in Italy, which is wrong. It looks like it cannot determine right location and it defaults to Milan, Italy. If I have to pay, I'll pay, just please, investigate the problem, please.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] ktulu84:
well... do you really want we stop to upgrade this rom because you have an issue with location? location is managed by google, and uses PROPRIETARY libs for gps, we never touched that, simply because we don't have source code for it, that's what smeroni means when he says that not all users knows what are reporting about... if you don't like this rom you can use another one, but don't tell us that we have to stop to mantain it because you have a problem

Hi,

No problem, go ahead and you have a nice day too.

P.S: Before you replied to my original post i have edited it. Im a bit drunk at the moment. But yeah..my fault i guess. And yeah..in the end we can do what we want, atleast on developing side.

You always react bad when someone reports a bug. If it's not your issue, just say it. blame it on Google. Don't become jumpy and aggressive like a bunch of nervy piranhas.

We are trying to help this ROM become better and more stable, the intention is not to criticize you.

Smeroni started and provoked, I reacted. A big deal. I hope you won't be using abusive words anymore.

Please behave and stay foot.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] ktulu84:
no, is not because we don't have this issue, is because location is provided by google and it uses data provided by gps libs, that are proprietary, if you read my post i already replied to you on this, have a nice day

Hi again. This is my final post about this.

Look, the thing is that in the last year google has made some serious changes in location and these changes are not in our hands. If google makes a fault we must wait for google to fix them aswell.

When you go back to the page where smeroni's post is, you will also find a post from me. I would like you to read it. I wrote there about some stuff regarding our possibilitys to fix stuff. Maybe you will understand a bit better after reading my post.

Also about the GPS/Location stuff.

Google introduced last year a new way of finding the location. You can now locate your position via GSM networks. The setting is called "Powersafe" and if you enable it the accurracy of the location will decrease alot.

Also, on certain i9001 models, the GPS antenna is not well made by Samsung. For example: Smeroni's and Ktulu's GPS is working very well, but mine can barely find a setellite(the phone thinks i am in africa, but i am actually in germany) The production quality of the i9001 regarding the GPS antenna is very bad. Then, the propretary GPS drivers by Samsung. We dont have any chance to improve the GPS performance via software, because there are simply no sources available. This makes the GPS even more awful to use on the i9001.

GSM based location = General low accuracy

GPS location = accuracy depends on how well the antenna is built in your i9001

If both give poor results at the smae time, you can assume that the problem is on google framework side.

There are many variables(gps.conf, google framework, weather, wifi, GPS antenna quality)..etc) that can make the location bad on this phone.

I explained public my post, and I think you misunderstood... If you think your hardware is working, please try other roms not based on adc sources... This is to test if is related to our sources or not.

You are an IT engineer, so I expect you are able to analyse different roms and effects... But if the problem is in your hardware, I do not see big possibilities to solve via software. Did you agree?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] tomsi191:
I just want to say that i had problem with location before (in previous builds). I couldn't get a gps lock for the life of me.

flashing another MODEM fixed it for me. No idea why but everything works as it should now.

And I never had any problem with GPS though. Other than that, it also improved the wifi signal strength a little bit compared to older baseband.

turns out that XXKPO doesn't work at all for my device. But I believe it is area depended so check the wiki for more info and download links.

For people not satisfied about ADC Team's bug solving capabilities you should remember that this project is based on others and from other entities.

Remember:

Android specific bugs, report bug against AOSP: http://source.android.com/source/report-bugs.htm

CyanogenMod specific bugs or questions: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/

Compatibility issues related to hardware/kernel/device specific: correct thread on this forum.

Hardware issues: Samsung or repair shop.

It's not ADC Team's responsibility to make things work for us. It's a hobby, not a job! But it is YOUR (user) responsibility to test things, try to learn what is wrong and try to fix it within your capabilities BEFORE asking (not demanding) the devs to do it for you.

And to the ones that don't agree and are still unhappy with other people's work that they take for granted, remember, if you aren't happy with a product you got for free, ask for a refund. You'll ALWAYS get your money back!

Finally, it is our responsibility to respect everyone here and be grateful that there's someone making a huge effort to make something good for all of us without asking for anything in return, except some thinking, logic and respect from us.

Thanks again for the work you do for us, and ignore people trolling and testing your patience. If it's not constructive it's not worthy of an answer ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] DreamerTKM:
Well said. Respect +1

Hi, I'm not sure why the baseband doesn't work for you. But XXKPO is Europe baseband but I'm living in Asia and it still work. I'm getting this baseband from XXKQN ROM and if it really doesn't work maybe you can try XXKPM.

For example: 'Activatiestatus van de achtergrondverlichting'. In my opinion is 'Achtergrondverlichting aan' more simple. But then again. It's only my opinion. There's nothing wrong with your translation! You Belgian people are always very literally in our Dutch language. Thanks for the translation and keeping high our language!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] anoopgkris:
Hats off to you, Xellar. Nice explanation. The SGS+ antenna is really less efficient. I think the same goes for the network also because of the very close placing of components in the phone body and improper isolation. We also have the Home button problem because of that.

Also, the last year i had a very reduced GPS functionality which i found was because of Droidwall settings. Now i've corrected it and get a lock in 40 seconds or less. Previously 10 minutes or no lock at all.

The new samsung phones lock GPS in less then 10 seconds outdoors. Samsung has learnt from their mistakes too.

For me, i had the phone booting in Polish language after rom install but not seeing it since CM10.1. Still my TWRP time is 12.5 hours behind my India time, hehe. But i can live with it.

Appreciate your good work.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] casaprocida:
Regarding TWRP time mismatch reboot in recovery, go to settings, tap on time zone and fix yours.

In my case it works fine regarding hour, I don't understand the minute mismatch.

Regading GPS: afer i9001 i had an i9000, his GPS antenna is worst than our, in his thread, on XDA, you can find an hardware fix, i never try to do that, this fix semms available for our device.

Everyone,

stop the complaining, your criticism, check out your language and your personal 'attacks' towards the dev team.

When the devs stop with this work we won't get our phone on a higher level.

They are doing an outstanding job. They made it possible that we have KitKat on our phone and working. The devs from Samsung said it wasn't possible to run KK.

If you are not satisfied with this Rom try a rom from an other developer.

We have to keep this thread clean and place only tips, etc that is useful for the devs to work with.

Stop the stupid discussions on this thread.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] oiseau:
Love this Rom. Beta 3 was perfekt for me i thougt but 4 is much better cant explain why but it is. :) big thanks. PS GPS facebook etc are working fine only games who are extreme large are FC . Bloom TD 5 for example when there is too much on the map.

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] goliat88:
My GPS works quite good cant complain. Since 10.1, now 11 i find GPS fix often in few seconds witch accuracy 10m and lowering, i was shocked! Ofcourse simetimes fix takes 1m, 2m, even longer but i think its based on satelites and weather. If my lock takes too long i turn on mobile data and than launch GPS test till it find fix. Mobile data off and launch GPS program.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] bigpapanl:
gps wil be the problem everytime? well i use TopNTP to change the gps settings, it works, but its not always make the gps lock verry precise, just look at this for example.

Any solution?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] reijndert:
Make a backup of your Phone and install 4.3.

See what happens.

Problem gone: software

Problem still there: maybe hardware.

With the backup/recovery its SO easy to try things out.

I have no problems at all (besides screenrecorder using adb shifts colors).

I live in the Netherlands and also work in the IT business.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] TwinHeadedEagle:
Since updating to Beta 4, there is some strange wakelock or battery drain, but Wake Lock Detector shows nothing, except that phone doesn't go to sleep. My friend also complains about this.

Here is WLD screenshot
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
In BBS you have the possibility to have a closer look at the partial WakeLocks - in my case gps wakelock sometimes runs wild...

Wish you success with your investigations..

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] TwinHeadedEagle:
[MENTION=4343903]Rhonin86[/MENTION]

No, GPS doesn't make a problem here, it should be GpsLocationProvider in WLD if this is about GPS.

Something else is making a problem here, and I cannot find out what.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] ktulu84:
never used WLD, so i can't tell you nothing about it... try to use BBS, it has a free version for xda users, you find it in this forum, is strange, it is always awake but it seems no wakelock is there
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] t5s:
I had this too, now I use the app "screebl classic" to keep the screen active when the phone is held at a certain range of angle (the current rewritten payed version of the app didn't work as good in my case). This way it's much better, but sometimes the app seems to get killed due to low memory. Well.. it's much better than nothing :) If someone finds a better solution, any hint is welcome!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] XeLLaR*:
Hi,

I also faced this problem, but other testers in the team didnt, so ive didnt mind.

I solved my problem by wiping /system and flashing rom and gapps again. I also uninstalled some apps that are notorious for wakelocks and battery drain. After all of this it was ok again.

Took me around 20minutes overall.

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] hweidi:
Try to enable the "Advanced mode" in Settings, as it shows system processes, which could be the reason!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] DreamerTKM:
If you so eagerly wants the bootanimation from CM10.1, simply extract out the bootanimation.zip in CM10.1 folder (system/media) and paste into the CM11 system/media to replace the current bootanimation.zip. After that set the permission to rw-r--r-- and reboot. You get the CM10.1 bootanimation.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
GpsLocationProvider

I have searched through a bunch of logs and find exact the same process GpsLocationProvider , which seems to be responsible for the wakelock. But it seems as if getting data out of KK concerning the wakelocks is pretty hard - the developer of BBS is also complaining about this...

But after wiping cache/dalvik, location reporting and history switched off ii didn't happen again - before i encountered this problem twice with location reporting switched on and switching on/off often location via tile from the quick settings.

Flashing modem - baseband

hi folks,

I'm planning to change the modem to DDKP9 Modem TAR (for India). Currently it is XXKPM.

Got the modem info http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001

Some questions

1. Is the MODEM related to Baseband ? (the additional info part for baseband and modem on wiki did not help much)

2. Can i flash only the modem? Any associated files needed?

3. Is flashing the Modem advisable ? My current one is working fine. Any known problems after flashing?

4. Is the process like this

Connect phone to PC in download mode

Start Odin > Select the modem tar file in the PHONE section and press Start

Disconnect and Reboot

Just want to check if that'll solve my data connectivity problems, for my area.

Please redirect my question to the correct forum for GT-I9001 if i'm in the wrong place, or if i'm cluttering a very evolved CM11 development for the SGS+ :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] t5s:
This Q would fit better into a general FAQ section. Short answer:

1. Yes

2. Yes you can

3. It's ok, done it twice (running GB at that time), probably you should wipe cache/dalvik, I did.

4. That's about right AFAIR.

Btw. our wiki page is really good!

Tapped out FC

hi there :)

Tapped out still not works going on FC, opposite to beta 3 where sometime it works an sometime it doesn't, on Beta 4 it stops at splashscreen every time.

attached a logcat, that maybe helps to understanding what's the problem.

Said that, you rocks DevCon !

:good:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Christopher83:
The game fails while performing some memory operations (malloc).

Please give a try to previous Beta 3 stock kernel over Beta 4 or the previous custom kernel version.

Let me know if it works better...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] hiej:
Hi Cris, just read better your post and I realized I've done a mistake doing testing: I've installed beta3 and used previous kernels :/

by the way... attached you'll find logcats of the following configurations:

- KK-BETA3 STOCK KERNEL LOWRAM OFF

- KK-BETA3 STOCK KERNEL LOWRAM ON

- KK-BETA3 K-KERNEL370 v.1.2 LOWRAM OFF

- KK-BETA3 K-KERNEL370 v1.2 LOWRAM ON

shortly I'll install KK beta4 and will do test with old kernels.

In any case the main difference between beta3 and 4 is that on the first the game is able to load, sincronyze with the server and do login, after that most of times it shutdown with FC.

on beta4 it goes in FC immediately after splash screen.

for your info, here the results with various android versions:

-CM10: it works very fine

-CM10.1 pmem: it works fine (with little lags)

-CM10.1 ION: it works very fine (as on CM10)

-CM10.2 pmem: it works with some lags

-CM10.2 ION: most of times it does not works.

-CM11 pmem: it does not works

-CM11 ION: it does not works

-David PA android 4.4 released on December 2013: it works very fine

-David PA android 4.4 released on January 2014: it does not works exactly as CM11 beta4.

OK, done testing using Beta4 over beta3 kernels (stock and K-Kernel 370 v.1.2).

on the following configurations:

- KK-BETA4 with STOCK beta3 KERNEL LOWRAM OFF

- KK-BETA4 with STOCK beta3 KERNEL LOWRAM ON

- KK-BETA4 K-KERNEL370 v.1.2 LOWRAM OFF

- KK-BETA4 K-KERNEL370 v1.2 LOWRAM ON

first thing I've spot is that the game reacts in the same way using current or old kernels, so maybe the problem is ROM related and not to kernel.

hope this helps :)

funny install problem

I've tried do install it from external SD, and failed due to a corrupt copy to SDcard from a PC. When I was installing the ROM in CWM it failed as it should. I found out that the .zip got corrupted, copied it again, tested the zip with 7zip and reflashed. So far so good. I then flashed gapps, also no error. Rebooted. But there was no option to use Google account! What happened was the gapps also got corrupted when transferring to SD card, but didn't throw an error when flashing. Perhaps there should be some check implemented in the gapps update script?

I've reflashed everything again and it now seems all in order. Thank you DevConnection :D
