[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] evolwun:
OK, so my GPS stopped working... AGAIN! I am getting tired of this... it works for a few months then quits. I took a full backup in TWRP. Then I tried to apply the stock ROM and it would lock up on boot. I wiped the the data, cache, and system before I installed the ROM. When it would not boot, I tried a factory reset from the bootloader. After that, it acted like there was no ROM installed. I then applied the TWRP backup and it boots, but it does not show the internal storage. ES file explorer says it cannot mount it. If I look in Settings>Storage, there is nothing under the Internal Storage section. I am checking all of this with the SD card pulled to make sure I am not confusing any of the folders.

I don't care if I have to wipe everything to get this to work. I noticed that I can set the internal storage partition in TWRP, but what size do I use for the partition and swap space?

thanks for the help.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] evolwun:
Come on guys, am I the only one that keeps getting this problem? I I was able to fix the issue last time it happened to me, but not this time. Has anyone else lost their internal storage before?

Added: Well, I got lucky again. I finally got the internal storage to format. What bugs me is that I did not try anything different than what I did yesterday. I'll post what the final outcome its.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] meskibob:
For the GPS side of your issue, I have issues getting GPS to connect fairly often (using CM 10.2-20131210-NIGHTLY-fireball). Toggling GPS from the quick settings does not work, but fully disabling and then enabling all location settings gets GPS to connect almost immediately, after which I have little to no connection issues while using the GPS. After I stop actively using the GPS, I can occasionally toggle GPS through quick settings and get it to connect, but typically I have to do the full location toggle. But it's better than having to do the stock ROM trick.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] evolwun:
I tried that, unfortunately it did not work for me.

The fix for all the storage and rom issues was to dump TWRP and install CWM. Everything is working again. Don't bother with TWRP, folks.

I've had my orange SPV M2000 setup for my orange eMail account for several weeks

I kept receiving the same eMails over and over again (receive set to 15 mins)

I then logged into webmail and deleted them, but for the next 48 hours the same eMails kept coming through!

I reported this to orange and said it was the device was not deleting them from the server, and I should login on webmail and delete them, but I had already done this!

So, I reset the device to use my own commercial eMail server

I set the server so that as soon as the message was retrieved it was deleted...

Yip, you guessed it, same problem!

I reported this back to orange, and now they said it was my server at fault!

So why is my device retrieving/receiving eMails which have already been downloaded AND deleted?!

Hey great thread ! But seems that a few pics are broken ...won't load on tapatalk (mobile) and my laptop. Hopefully its not just me
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ano59:
You're right, I uploaded pictures on XDA and made links of them but this doesn't seem to work much. I'll host them on an external service and edit my post.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zolo185:
Kool. Glad to see such a quick reply. And for the pics that are there ...they're pretty great and your detail much appreciated. Good job :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ano59:
Thanks. :)

Pictures are now uploaded on Imgur, there isn't any trouble displaying them anymore. There are still XDA thumbnails at the bottom.

I should write and post another topic soon, which is about replacing the metal plates in the Nexus 5 by...magnets. Then official charger docks less efficiently but you may modify it too (I'll try it) and with magnets inside, making custom chargers is incredibly easier.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ano59:
Updated the topic thanks to Craiq's explanations and to my own further testing.

By the way, I don't recommend replacing Nexus' metal parts by magnets, I tried it but I got disappointed by the heat produced by wireles chargers after this mod so I put back the metal plates. However this teardown is still useful to understand how current custom chargers designs are sub-optimal and how to improve them (at the expense of magnets size increase).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thfreedumb:
Is the charging coil in this charger any different than the genetics out there? Wasn't sure if there was a quality gap in qi coils.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ano59:
The coil in Google's charger is smaller. There is also an additional inner "copper coil" (it doesn't seem to be insulated). I have no idea what it is for, the 2 copper wires mentioned in my first message come from the coil to the charging board. They are close together which is strange because with no insulation they can easily make a shortcut, at least if you think of this inner coil as a traditional electrical circuit.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Pandages:
Thanks for the teardown! I was wondering what they did, and why.

Is there any safe way to improve the strength of the magnetic field provided by the permanent magnets? I had a really dumb moment, and actually glued a metal plate to my phone's case, which made it stick to the charger much better but completely absorbed the weak inductive field needed to handshake the Qi process. If charging had started, I assume the plate would have gotten very hot. Obviously, I undid my mistake before anything permanent happened.

But I'm still looking for a way to improve the strength of the retention. I could glue some very small metal disks (washers or something) to the inside of the case, to give the original magnets something closer to attract. I could replace the original magnets with something N52.

My reason for all this is to improve the stability of the phone against the charger when the whole assembly is in a vertical position (say, in a car, or mounted to a wall).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] giovanni645:
What sizes of the Magnets does the Google Charger use? I would like to buy the same size with a larger pull force - so go for something like an N52?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sireddie:
I've just tried installing 10mm/1mm N52 magnet disks in my Note 3's case in order to be able to use my Nexus charger as a car charger/dock. First off the magnets are disturbing the screen layer for pen input causing the area around the magnets to be distorted when trying to write using the pen.

Also, I tested the magnetic attraction difference to my phone with a naked Nexus 5, and the Nexus definitely has a stronger attraction to the charger. This makes sense as my magnets are attracted to one magnet and repelled by the other in the charger, whereas the Nexus 5's medal disks/plates are placed in the middle of the magnets and are attracted by both. FYI my magnets have been placed to optimally attract one of the charger's magnets (43mm center to center).

I'm now trying to find some Nexus 5 metal disks/plates equivalents. I understand these are 6mm diameter disks, but don't have any other info. Does anyone know any more specs on these or where to source these easily? I'm thinking 6mm/1mm steel disks that I might be able to find in a hardware store or similar. Can't find anything on eBay. Any thoughts?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] usmave:
very interesting thread.

looks like the google charger is almost a clone of palm`s touchstone. The touchstone has the same "2 magnets 1 metal between" thing as the google charger.

See the old S3 touchstone tread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34084651&postcount=210

the best way you can handle the two different polarities is to use two smaller magnets in the back of your phone.

one with + and one with - .

when you connect the two magnets in your phone oder case with the smaller side together you will reach the max attraction.

like i did on the s3.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] daniel_loft:
I'm also very interested in the size of the magnets inside the charger.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hutzdani:
Great teardown, ill be using this info to use a nexua charger for the N6, hopefully remiving the magnets and liftinf the coil closer ti the glass will solve the issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Developer Discussion [Developers Onl] svetius:
This area is currently experimental and was set up by the XDA Administrators for development discussion. The idea in this section is for developers (not only recognized developers, but all developers) to have a place for discussion threads to "talk shop." What kind of talk? Some topics (that I'm making up as I type this) might include (and are certainly not limited to):

Overriding the power widget in the notification dropdown

Considerations of using gcc versions other than 4.4.3 for compiling the kernel

Exynos: discussion on working around the SOC wake from sleep delay

This isn't a Q&A forum. However, developers might kick off discussions with a question. The difference? This belongs in Q&A: "My phone wakes up slow, will it go faster if I take my sdcard out?" On the other hand, the following might belong in this new section: "Has anyone tried adjusting the mmc detection timeouts to see if there's an impact on the SOC wakeup delays?" The assumption here is that the person asking the latter question actually knows what a mmc detection timeout is, how they'd change it, and has started to play around with it before posting the question.

As well, this section is not for posting finished products or "advertising" of kernels, apps, etc. This section is to discuss the process, not for the end result.

The hope (at least my own hope) is that developers can discuss things here instead of resorting the various other methods of communication we've used. At the same time, newer developers and even non-developers can LEARN from the conversations and eventually participate.

Depending on the reception (and difficulty moderating, probably) this experiment will either be expanded for other device types, completely shut down as a failure, or adjusted. Obviously, if we developers don't use it, it might be considered a waste of time and dissolved.

This section will be very closely moderated by moderators who are also developers and non-development discussion will be harshly dealt with.

I REALLY hope this will encourage more devs to spend time with open communication. This is XDA-Developers. Let's do development.

Hello:

Today from ETOTALK sent me a new ROM as they say is the last version, V6 S128 P770, but I've tried installing it on my Lenovo P770 and sorry to say geolocation over 3G or WIFI network still does not work, as I've said in several occasions, but they still give me a solution to this failure.

I've said that is the ROM of yours, as proven in the phone's ROM FOXTROT INJECTOR 113, and geolocation over 3G or WIFI works well, I've told you to take note of it and take out a patch or update to correct this error and geolocation works, but still not fix it, if someone else has the ROM etotalk and they buy the phone to them to insist on this topic to see if we got it fixed and take out a ROM that funione geolocation, insist if someone in the forum know how to implement it in this ROM (which is going very well and fluently and translated into Castilian) please let us know.

Does anyone know how to make it work geolocation 3G or WIFI etotalk ROM V6 S128 P770 or earlier?

Thank you.

I'm not sure of a way to hide the developer options, short of reflashing. To get the stock i/o settings, just make sure the enable on boot is not checked, then restart. Stock settings should then be restored on boot.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reach3r:
This bug really makes it hard to enjoy the note 3 as a whole. I was plagued by this pretty badly until recently I sort of found a workaround.

Background story:

Some time ago I found out that in offline mode the bug is not present/active. I came across it, when i was in our datacenter where the cell signal is a nightmare. I turned on offline mode and switched WiFi back on (thankfully we have a WiFi active there) and the battery drain was very low with active WiFi and bluetooth (headset connected) over a period of several hours.

I did still encounter the Android OS bug afterwards, but once after my phone was fully charged, I put it into offline mode for a short period of time (30 secs or one minute) and then switched back to normal and that day I had exceptional battery life (whole day = ~12h with some time checking, messaging and checking mail, with ~70% battery left) which i assume must be the actual battery life that the phone is capable of without bugs.

TL: DR

possible workaround for the Android OS bug: put phone in offline mode for ~1 minute, then back into normal mode

I would love to read if somebody tried this and gave some feedback.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
What eventually solved it in 4.3 for me was wiping everything from the phone, then reflashing stock, then installing a custom ROM (was X-Note 7 then Alliance afterwards) + CivZ kernel.

Solved on 4.4 now also, just wiped device then reflashed Xnote 8 and it's sorted.

Could be the way you have the ROM installed since you don't use custom recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daryaniad1:
Worked for me. Lets see how it goes.

Did the following.

Offline mode --- wait 1 minute --- back on line ---- reboot ----- Android OS Back to 10-12%
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reach3r:
My approach is (after the device is fully charged (not just 100% but literally fully charged in display)) take it off the charger, then switch to offline mode, wait, switch offline mode back off. No restarting or stuff.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Lucas0511:
Off the record, background info from Windows Mobile 5 Team member for all of us waiting for A2DP for our Prophets:

Quote:

"A2DP is a very processor intensive operation. You start with an MP3 or

a WMA, do a lot of work to decompress it into audio, and then need to

turn around and recompress it into the A2DP format to send it.

What we found is that our A2DP implementation just barely works on a

200MHz processor. From the OEM's standpoint, it's our fault for not

writing something that takes less cycles to work. We certainly tried to

make it work, though. Maybe other people will do a better job and show

that we really are at fault. Or maybe no one will be able to and will

show that it's just not possible to do reliably on that processor.

We do know that A2DP works great on WM devices with faster processors. It works sometimes on 200MHz devices, just not reliably enough to ship."

Unquote

My 5 cents: The message is "we TRIED to make it work", but we don´t know if you ever gonna get it for your Prophet...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] vsc:
My 2c on the subject. They have a TI 55xx DSP core sitting right next to the ARM core on the OMAP. They should be shipping the audio frames over to the DSP to offload the work from the ARM. It is really silly to employ the ARM in a signal processing roll where there is a better, faster solution sitting right on the same die.

I hope someone from Microsoft reads this...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Lucas0511:
Thanks mate, I will make sure they get the message! Any more suggestions I could relay to them? Let´s make this a team effort, and as you see from their initial feedback they care for us, just do not seem to have a solution found yet... :-)

This is b.s...

A2DP is already working on the HTC Star Trek, which also uses the same TI OMAP 200MHz processor as the Prophet and Wizard. Furthermore, a beta ROM for the Wizard has A2DP working, albeit in a buggy, pre-release version.

If Lucas0511 did, in fact, hear this from a member of the Windows Mobile dev team, his source is either mistaken or basing his information on old information. The issue is not the processor's speed, it is bugs in the A2DP implementation. That is the reason is got pulled from the AKU 2.0 release, not issues with speed.

The Win Mobile team is quite large, and one team member had asked for me his peers in charge on this issue. I know that regardless of remarks re the Dopod, MS had released the A2DP to all ODM´s, for them to decide to include it or not. Fact is that the Win Mobile Team is really happy that we got A2DP working on our HTC Prophet devices, and hence enjoy our Win Mobile 5 experience.
