It can do offline, but I'm not sure if it opts for online vs offline if it has a connection or what.

But seriously, someone would have to be writing a book to use gigs of data like this.

I still think the value is inaccurate somehow. It just seems outrageous that it could possibly use so much data. I suspect this is a case of invalid data from dirty flashes or restoration of data.

I'd say anyone suffering from this do a full factory reset and see if it starts accumulating data usage again. And a sniff of the data would be good, nobody seems to have done that yet either.

There is an AOSP keyboard avaliable on the F-Droid repository. Looks like stock googleinputmethodlatin and does not leak data.... For those who are genuinely concerned about Google's data collection....

Dead Cookies leave no trails...
[Nexus 7 General] Bert98:
Well, I've got the exact same problem on my Xperia U with CyanogenMod 11, when I get home I'll try flashing the AOSP keyboard instead and see if it has this problem..

EDIT: on February 4th I flashed the AOSP keyboard instead of the Google one and, as you can see, in the last 3 days it didn't use any data, so it's a Google Keyboard problem ?

Told ya! I had similar problems on my nexus 7 on the latest KOT49H firmware. Simply uninstalled all the Google keyboards (Japanese/Chinese , latin, hindi &c) after installing aosp keyboard. Much safer.....

Nexus 5 owner here, found this thread through Google.

My keyboard used up 5 gigabytes in the 45 minutes that I had the device flashed. What the heck? Titanium couldn't uninstall it (couldn't locate APK) so I had to manually trash the APK using a root file manager. How is this even possible!? I have unlimited data, but imagine what it would be for people with capped plans?
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
It's simple; it's NOT using such data. Nobody has proven it is. There is a bug or something here.
[Nexus 7 General] :
Just freeze it and use a different keyboard. Done.

All Google apps are crappy. ;)

In my humble opinion of course.

[Nexus 7 General] ProfessorPaljas:
My provider thinks otherwise. I had no plan but was scrutinously using my 3G for something specific and taking note each time of how much data I used. Then at one point my keyboard kicked in and sent out 15 MB of data at a rate of 30 cents per MB.... Thanks Google Keyboard...

I am interested in sniffing out the data and finding out why it is using so much of it, but I guess that means rooting my phone :') it's still stock android 5.0.2

My phone does not give info on data sent through wifi :(

Howdy -

There are plenty messages indicating that we can't unlock the ext rom on 2.x versions, but no indication of what needs to be done to creat an unlocker.

So, my question is, what can I or anyone else do to move forward? Do we need to provide any files or information to the folks that can do the coding? Haas anyone checked with machinagod to see if he can help and if he needs anything from 2.x users?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jimbo31323:
Greetings,

I'm currently running Cromi and have become interested in Rom2SD

From what I understand I need a sandisk ultra (30mbs) card which is a minisd

Then I install a version of Cromi with Rom2sd and install another version,

I read that it makes the tablet snappier/faster,

What I don't understand is why

Is this linked to the tablets 1gb memory?

Would using a 16gb memory card allow me to use 2-4gb of memory and increase response/peppyness

It lags frequently making it undesirable for use
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You can look at it this way:

Imagine you have a computer or tablet with two hard drives (or SD cards) installed. One is cheap slow memory resulting in slow read/write speed, the other one allows much faster read/write speeds.

Which one would be better suited to run your system?

With rom2sd you basically install a better and faster SD card to your tablet (in form of a microSD). You install the rom and all your apps to the faster card resulting in better performance. Your old (internal) card is still accessible as storage but has (almost) no role in the actual running of the system.

Does this make sense?

BTW, if you are running CROMi-X on internal and your tablet is sluggish you should investigate why. That's not normal and whenever a user reports lag on CROMi-X it always turned out to be: one dirty flash too many, outdated bootloader, user installed apps - or something similar.

Personally I get better Quadrant scores with rom2sd, but in my day-to-day operation I don't really notice a difference between the two. At least as long as I keep fsync off on internal ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Indeed I'm still on 5.2.3 odex from Dec 16 and running internal with fsync off and I don't get any lags at all. In fact I would say that the tab is running extremely smoothly ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jimbo31323:
Hmm Dirty FLash??

I reset after reboot would that help?

Is it advisable to reformat SDCARD as well?

How can I check bootloader version or update?

I thought Cromi-X came with bootloader or I might have missed a step,

Is it recommended to update bootloader -> Clean INstall Cromi-x?

If so how should I go about, currently on Cromi-X newest Release, used twrp to install last week

Appreciate the input and help, tired of my girl who uses a IPAD 3 talking smack
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
I have opposite experience to those mentioned here.

Yes, CROMI-X runs very very smoothly right after install.

But after a month or so, it is so unbearable i have this moments when i am just about to throw it out of the window (3rd floor) and save me some stress using it forever. It annoys me so much i want to scream sometimes.

I don't know what it is that it slows it down so much, but from 700€ tablet i never expected this in first place.

Example:

opening chrome - sometimes fast, sometimes slow

immediately trying to stop loading of the opened page as i don't want to wait for it - but before it registers my touch sometimes takes 30s or a minute

pressing address box for manual input - another minute or more

waiting for keyboard to actually show - another minute

typing an address - another minute

By this time i am already annoyed and just press power button - more luck next time.

And this goes on and on and on.

It is weird as sometimes it really is fast, but than, most of the time is just waiting and waiting and *****ing.

If someone can tell me what apps could be slowing it down, i would appreciate it.

Bad karma tablet all the way.

Hi,

Since a few days I have a strange issue with my battery.

All of the sudden I get a reboot and then the battery is almost empty.

First I thought it maclaws cm11 caused this, but now I am on stock ROM it also happened, twice today.

I also noticed that afterwards the battery is charged very quickly.

Could it be that the battery is broke?

Hello,

I would like to install the last XNOTE which is ML2 without change the Knock flag. I think i can do that but i'am not sure, could someone tell me if i'am okay ?

Root with URLV if Firmware < MJ3 after downloading the PDA file on SamMobile

Flash It with Odin (PC) reboot / reboot

Download on SamMobile the ML2 from singapour

Flash the .tar.md5 with Odin mobile with everroot

Use Knokboxtool to install Xnote

Is there any problem to flash the modem from singapour (i'am in France) ?

Is there any problem to flash with odin mobile the .tar.md5 PDA (will it install the last bootloader ?)

Thanks a lot,
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
You need to read A LOT, especially if you want to keep 0x0. There is no guarantee whatever method you use that you will preserve KNOX 0x0 - Once you feel comfortable in practicing what you have read, then give it a shot.. but prepare yourself for 0x1 just incase.

As for modem flashing, not sure if it will trip KNOX or not. but you need to extract/grab the modem you require and flash it once you have the ROM in place etc.

Two methods I have read

Kn0x0ut and argh can't find the other method, but it is via mobile Odin
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remixtech:
Thanks i will use MOP, it's more sure and i know it. My question is now, can I use a modem/csc from Singapour when my mobile is in France (i know the LTE network is a bit specific here) ?

Maybe rooting -> Flashing stock MK2 with everroot -> Flashing Kernel/Firmware without Modem/CSC ML2 -> XNOTE 7 is a better option ?

In this post they don't care and install ML2 over MK2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48968352#post48968352

Hey Guys,

I have P990 and I'm using CM10 nightly, and I really want to change ROM as this works really bad on my device.

I downloaded DjangoManouche X 1.6.1 and whenever I go to install, it goes through the first steps, then screen gets black and goes back to Clockwork Recovery. I tried with other ROMs and similar things happen.

What could it be?

I wonder to...maybe is gb lower... who know's:)
[LG Optimus 2x] tom9191:
Well, just because it's the only ROM I can install. Still want to upgrade, but I can't do anything. USB isn't working, ROM from external SD don't install...
[LG Optimus 2x] 60nine:
don't get me wrong, cm7 is a good rom (especially if you installed Temasek one + vadonka kernel) - battery is great with this combo (i was using that combo for almost a year until cm10/10.1/10.2 versions of tonyp roms + pengus kernels came out in the beginning of 2013)...

but cm10.2 has some usefull stuff and many improvements over cm7...

i can only suggest you to read some more threads in the developer section... moving to a new bootloader can give you some more benefits if you're into the newest roms (since the rom developers usually support only the new bootloader first, and then they make an old bootloader versions of their roms/kernels as well - or they don't - it's up to them and their free time)

i'm also considering to finally switch to a new bootloader - but i'm still waiting for the new cm11 (kitkat) roms and 3.1+ kernel to become stable enough for a daily use...

it's up to you to see what you need most out of the rom... but some reading before flashing is mandatory... if you've read some more - you'd already know your problem before i wrote my post and explaining the old/new bl issue...

once a week someone comes up with the same problem because he doesn't read about bootloaders or is just lazy to read the 1st posts in the rom threads...

i hope i helped... cheers

How is Cm10.2 working for you? Battery life/speed/etc

I had 10.1 I believe and it was horrible.

I can' install new bootloaders, etc...as I can't enter debug mode, nor do anything
[LG Optimus 2x] 60nine:
just to make sure...

your usb doesn't work when the phone is fully booted into the rom or it doesn't work for SW upgrade?

did you try other usb ports? (don't use usb hubs for this, especially for SW upgrade stuff)

did you install the correct windows drivers for the phone?

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

it was horrible if you used the official CM10.1 nightlies... not if you've been using tonyp cm10.1 based roms and pengus kernels... believe me...

currently i'm on the tonyp "The rom" build 26 + pengus kk126 kernel (no ram hack version)

battery lasts for almost 2 days with moderate use (around 3 hrs screen on + wi-fi on, some calls, some messages)

phone is snappy, i don't have syncs turned on in any app...

phone is oc-ed to 1500mhz (min 216, max 1500mhz), and if you care about the benchmarks - it gives a solid 9000+ in antutu...

for a 3 year old phone - i'm satisfied enough...

Hi, first post here, though I have lurked for a bit.

I must confess that I'm a complete noob at this, I've had an XDA IIi for over 6 months and done absolutely nothing to it, it's as virgin as the day it came out of the box. Also, I've never had a GPS Receiver before, nor SatNav.

Anyway, I've ordered TomTom software and need a GPS Receiver, but I have no idea on what basis to compare the miriad of different GPS Receivers out there, so am humbly asking for your recommendation. If you could also point me at a noobie guide on all terms regarding GPS, or explain what they mean, that would be great.

99% of usage will be in the car with my XDA in a cradle, though I'm guessing I will have to swap over the 2 charger cables, however occassionally I'd like to roam on foot with Sat Nav (usually in London). So I'm guessing I would like a BlueTooth GPS Receiver that comes with a car charger and main charger.

I have no idea what Cold Start, Warm Start, or Hot Start mean, nor what Update time is for or what's good or bad for these values. Why is Baud rate or NMEA output protocol important? What are the pro's / cons of internal or external Antenna's and wtf does an external Antenna look like and how does it work, hang out the window?? How many "channels" should I have, and what difference does it make anyway?

Sorry for all the questions, but none of the purchase sites seem to do a noobie guide aimed at my level, they all assume you know what they're talking about! :roll:

Thanks in advance.
[General Topics] GuiltyCol:
Can no one even point me at a decent online guide that explains what all these things mean?
[General Topics] Gajet:
OK basic reccomendation. Get a Globalsat BT-338. A popular and well liked high performing device at a reasonable cost.

What you need to look for in a receiver is the chipset. You want one with a SIRF III chipset because it will provide the best reception in heavily built up areas. You want to avoid X-TRAC because it's laggy.

With regards to charging, you probably won't need to be continuously charging, (look for battery life on the device specs. You want around 20 hours per charge). However you could get a cradle which charges both, or a Y-Cable which will also charge both the xda and the receiver if need be.

Cold start refers to how long the receiver takes to get a fix from the very first time it is used, or after it has had no battery, it needs to work out where you are on the planet and can take up to 5 mins. After this you will be more likely to just do warm starts, by which the receiver uses your last known location to get a rough guide of where you are, this should take less than a minute. A Hot start means you havent moved from your last know location, theis should take 30 seconds to get a fix. These times are measured as TTF- Time to Fix, ands should also be on the device specs.

The Protocol is the format that the data is passed onto the xda software. Most software expects NMEA data, as this is the most commonly used. The baud rate is just how fast the device can communicate with the xda and dosn't make a lot of difference the BT-338 has a baud rate of 38400, but I've used a device with a baud rate of 9600 and can't say I noticed a difference. A SIRF III device is unlikely to need an external arial, unless you have heat reflective windows all round your car, and even then unlikely. A good SIRF III receiver will work from inside a closed glove box. An older SIRF II chipset may need an external antenna. These are usually little magnetic squares that you stick to the roof of the car, with a cable that connects to the receiver inside. Buy a SIRF III and forget about those.

Channels, most SIRF III receivers are 16- 20 channels, this is how many simultaneous satellites the device can track at once. Anything over 16 is pure bonus as you are probably unlikely to get more than 12 satellites in your line of sight anyway.

That seems to cover everything except cost. Expect to pay between £50 and £80.

Thanks Gajet, that was everything I wanted in an answer. Much obliged.
[General Topics] GuiltyCol:
My Globalsat BT-338 arrived yesterday. Had a few problems working out which serial port it was using but got there in the end. Also the middle LED seems to flash or hold solid with a mind of it's own. But apart from that, works like a treat, and as the review said, works fine in my glovebox too, which is nice.

Thanks again.
