I had the exact same thing happen myself!

First time was last week. Out of the blue, GPS shut itself off and wouldn't come back. Systemui closes with any attempt to turn on GPS.

I found that if I cleared the data partition it came back. Not a great solution as it didn't pinpoint a cause. Not sure how a setting related to gps could get so messed up as to deactivate it.

A week later, the same error popped up.

I put in for a warranty replacement, in case it was a hardware issue.

When it borked last week, I found that restoring an older system partition did not help at all. But formatting the data partition did.

I was a bit perplexed because I wasn't sure how an app could muck up the GPS settings such that it wouldn't be able to turn on!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
I think data partition keeps system app data and non system app data separate. ???

Feel free to elaborate.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] waylo:
Well the system apps are kept in the system partition. The settings related to the system are kept in the data partition. So very few things done day to day affect the system partition directly.

At least for me, I've had the same setup for almost 5 months as I never saw the reason to upgrade past 4.2.2. So having this happen to me twice in two weeks is worrisome.

The fact that I could get things restored by wiping /data points to some corrupted setting perhaps. I restored the apps from my nandroid and that worked fine for another week so I don't think it's a user app, but certainly possible.

OP, don't mean to hijack your thread but I think the situation is the same.

If you wish for a quick fix, backup your apps/sms/etc, wipe data, then restore the apps individually with titanium backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] p012t:
no problem. so your saying that a certain app caused this to happen ?

when you mean wipe, you mean reflash the rom ??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] waylo:
I'm certainly suspicious that an app may have caused this if somehow it didn't access or clear its GPS settings properly, but I don't have a great way of proving this. I'm not even sure how possible it is, for apps without root capability to alter how the system activates GPS.

I do have many apps with root approval, but I've had those for the longest time.

The only thing I do daily is update apps (and run them), so short of a hardware failure, I can't for the life of me think of any other reason. In other words, I don't tinker around with many rooted functions or the /system partition.

I thought it might have been a new version of Google Now/Search but I haven't been able to test that decisively.

When I wiped /data and restored all the apps, it worked just fine for another week without me rolling back any apps, so, a little frustrating in that respect.

If I'm right about something in the /data partition causing this mayhem, you don't have to reflash the ROM. Make sure your apps are backed up, and just wipe /data in your recovery. This clears out all your settings for the ROM, but all the apps/settings you chose in the AROMA installer will still be in the /system partition. When you reboot, it will be as if you are booting after a fresh install, mostly. Check and confirm that your GPS is now working, and then reinstall your apps.

Let me know if I'm on the right track if you decide to go this route.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobolinko:
I had this problem om Saturday and I was determined to find what in the heck caused the problem. I did not have any problem on Friday, and the GPS lock was making a lock in 3 sconds then... Saturday, nothing! I do remember updating Super Compass on Friday, but the phone worked all day! after that...

I reverted to nandroid back up I made a month ago and all was good, except I didn't have a helluva lot of stuff that was updated, and saved on the device (including and most importantly, all the GPS tweaks that made the GPS soooooo frickin good) since the update so I reloaded the current OS and started uninstalling all the stuff since a week ago. rebooted the phone, and all was good!

Then I loaded one-by-one the apps that were in the current system and as soon as I loaded the "Super Compass" app and tested the GPS for a few minutes, it bombed the GPS and totally would not work again.

I did notice it recently updated so I don't know which version caused the problem, but I do suspect the problem was set up intentionally, as the GPS works for a while, (even if the Super Compass App wasn't running) and then crapps out. Battery pull after 5 minutes and reinstalling and powering up always got the GPS back, but would again run for a few minutes, and then crapp out.

I uninstalled the Super Compasss and no problems, my GPS locks in 3 seconds, and all is good again.

FasterGPS and FasterFix are 2 apps that significantly decrease the gps lock on time, and also have allowed my accuracy down to 10 feet or less.

Agps injector is also an app that increases lock time speed and accuracy. Also if your wireless is left on during GPS navigation, that allows AGPS to combine with the GPS and increase the accuracy result quite a lot. Without AGPS insertion, I was sometimes getting 60+ feet accuracy, but withe the AGPS, it is almost always at 10 feet or less. The AGPS Insertion app also has a function of installing the insertion before the app of your choice runs and puts a new shortcut that does the job on the screen, If you want that. It adds a small graphic to the icon so that you know that it's auto inserting.... If you play with it you'll understand what I'm talking about (only on the paid version)

Hope this helps some of you out there to get the most out of your GPS on such a great device like ours, running "top shape"!

Good Luck and Aloha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] waylo:
Thank you for your contribution. Your problem sounds similar but very different too.

Did your GPS setting automatically turn off, and attempts to turn it back on result in a System UI crash?

The OP and I are having issues where it just simply will not turn on. It's not exactly as you had described, where it works for several minutes and then craps out. GPS pinpointing and accuracy is not the problem here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bxferrari92:
hey sorry for such a late reply. I finally got fed up of no gps and decided to wipe my data as well... so far my gps has been functioning normally. I guess it was a app that messed up the gps settings or something
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] p012t:
Hey I finally decided to do a wipe and reinstall my apps. The GPS is no up and running, hopefully itll stay that way. I guess it was one of the apps that did not use it properly and messed up its settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] waylo:
Great to hear this solution worked! Let us know if it gets borked again.

It worked for me for about 1 week, then it went haywire again. Wish I could figure out what app did it! If it was an app.

Hi,

I'm having a problem with some folders which are not appearing when I connect the N5 to a computer (tried with Windows 8.1 and OS X Mavericks).

For instance....I had this problem with the "Camera" folder (/dcim/camera) last week and I solved it by renaming (using ES File explorer in the phone) the folder with another name and renaming back to "camera".

The point is there are more folder with the same issue.....(some albums under /Music folder).

The question:

Is there an automatic way to fix all the folders???

P.S.: ATM I'm 100% stock (no root).with ART.

Dopod CHT 9000 Latest ROM does it solve Screen Misalignment

One BIG question : Does it solve Screen Misalignment Issue?

Is it Chinese OS?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] aquanaut88:
1. It's Traditional Chinese, not English;

2. Screen alignment is a hardware problem. Suggest return to retailer for replacement.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] brabus:
Some said Software some said Hardware

I read from the threads mentioning that this might be a software issue.

However I did receive email from Dopod Taiwan saying that they would replace the unit at no cost.

Too bad I am in the States and has no plan going to Taiwan soon.

They give time limit until August 31.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sectorlord:
it's more SW... since :

1) It's improves after hard reset

2) Not all people changed their unit got rid of the issue

3) Not SN specific, some with HT63XXX still has issue

4) Some upgrade their ROM, and got rid of the issue

5) A guy in HK, used the digitizer driver for 838 non-pro, and fixed his issue.

Goodluck

You were Right! It's Software Issue

I was surprised when I upgraded my Dopod CHT to the latest Dopod 838 Pro ROM, My Screen Misalignment is GONE! At least for the last three days, I've never had to align my screen. I have O2 Plus Installed and Opera Browser as well. I tested these couple days and Scrolling that was "Pain in the Butt"now become very smooth and never get stuck or mistap. Therefore, I conclude that this Screen Misalignment is purely 100% ROM issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sectorlord:
well... Congrats...!!!

Let us know which version you used...and if the misalignment returns.

Did you load up your 3rd party apps yet ? You need to monitor after loading these apps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jeezus:
Re: You were Right! It's Software Issue

Perhaps not 100%, I seem to recall people saying that when the device gets hotter, the screen misaligns more easily. And I have noticed that some ROM's like the TyTN that mine was shipped with made the device hotter. Allthou, I never have had any problems myself, so not totally sure. There could also be several different causes for misaligment, for eg. ROM, 3rd party apps, device temperature...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sectorlord:
My unit does not misalign when it's hot. There is time that I just power on and misalign happened.

I just Hard reset my unit and loaded all apps as before and I had not have misalign (yet?) for 2 days now...

Chinese Question: CHT9000 or Dopod 838 Pro

I have a CHT9000 but but like to have English Menu with Simplified Script Chinese input. Chinese menu is just akward.

I think my options are:

1. Keep CHT9000 ROM and use handwritting (no pinyin)

2. Flash to Dopod 838 Pro ROM & install some chinese software? I don't know what that is.

Would anyone care to provide some guidance?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] aquanaut88:
Two Chinese language systems I've tried: Maction Monster Chinese and Mobem's CE-Star. Both correctly render Chinese (simplified and traditional). Only CE-Star works correctly with keyboard. If you don't intend to use Chinese handwriting, download "standard" version. I prefer Hanyu Pinyin input, it handles this very nicely. Can select between traditional and simplified directly from the SIP. Currently using CE-Star r2.8 for 10-weeks with no complaints.

As may have already been mentioned, to allow your keyboard extended characters to correctly map, you'll need to modify the QWERTY entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]

"Layout"=dword:00020404

CHT9000 in Chinese to English

Dear all knowledgeable people,

After my long standing friend (Nokia 9500) died of aging problems, after shopping around I decided to go for the Dopod CHT 9000.

Unfortunately in Taiwan there is no English version and, since my Chinese capabilities are not that good, I am struggling with my nice little phone.

Can anyone help to change into English?!!

May be this has been posted before, please redirect me accordingly
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] aquanaut88:
Info on changing ROM is in the Wiki:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeFAQ

I'm using the Dopod ROM on my CHT9000. It's available Original Shipped ROM Versions section. Read the instructions clearly before upgrading -- process takes 20-25 minutes. When finished, it'll reset and install external ROM tweaks. After installing, another reset will bring up the date and carrier setting wizard that'll take care of your GPRS/UMTS settings in Taiwan.

Indee, it is understood. But I still get the error because th CID does not macht and, per this "So, you need a ROM with bootloader 1.04 and with a CID that matches the CID on your device, this is the only known way to downgrade the bootloader to 1.04 and then, you will be able to flash a ROM with any CID" as in the FAQ, where can I find the CHT 9000 ROM with a bootloader 1.04 that would match my CID?!

Sorry for my ignorance, but some of the things are not straight forward for everyone.

Thanking you allin Advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cht9000:
Thank you very much. It worked!!!

I think for future references, it should be explained like this:

1- Download the original CHT version with bootloader 1.04 in order to downgrade the bootloader 1.06.

2- Download the desired ROM, then flash it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] aquanaut88:
CHT9000, glad you found your solution.

I'm a little confused though -- are you working with a stock CHT9000? Did it come with bootloader 1.06? That would be news!

Your original note said you simply wanted to change from Chinese to English. The CID for first two version ROMs of CHT9000 is DOPOD001. Same as dopod WWE ROMs (v1.23). Switching back and forth is trouble-free.

Unless you installed a non-dopod ROM (e.g., Cingular v1.31 or 1.34), you wouldn't have the bootloader v1.06 problem. This problem is described under "Common Upgrading Problems in HTC Hermes", Problem #3(B).

Cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cht9000:
My ignorance might have killed the possibility of having this ROM uploaded here :-((, yes, it came with an original 1.06 bootloader, I just got it from CHT last week on contract.

So, as I said earlier, I used this one "RUU_HER_ChungHwa_1.25.751.4_1.07.03.10_CHT_SHIP" that replaced my bootloader to 1.04 and then when I installed the English version "HER_DopodAsia_1237074_1060010_WWE_SHIP" and everything went well. My Chungwa Telecom menu has gone and, seems like I can not make video calls, but as long as this website exists along with all the good people, I will fix that one.

I will definitely make a donation, let me just figure out how to do it, I think is going to be the best well spent money of my entire life.

Hi i installed the latest 4.3 OTA-Update for my Xperia-Z and at the first glance the only thing that was kinda negative was the fact that some parts are now light instead of the classic dark theme.

But that's not my main problem right now, as the messed up keyboard is...

The Keyboard on 4.2.2 had a lot more word suggestions this one just shows you three(3!!!) where on the older 4.2.2 you could basically scroll from left to right and check for the fitting one.

Furthermore after you click on a sugesstion on the old 4.2.2-Build you would get to choose between the following punctuation chars (.?!)

For example the following sentence: "Did you do your homework [click on sugessted word "homework"] --- [Displays following characters to add to homework "?!."]

Now you have to type it by long-pressing some random key, which is just... lets face it, plain bull****...

Would love it, if somebody could help me to get the classic 4.2.2-Keyboard unto stock 4.3... (preferably without unlocking the bootloader or downgrading) :good:

Thank you
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfreak70:
first.you must have ROOT:eek: Without ROOT you can't do that. If rooted simply just move the 4.2.2 keyboard to system/app and replace the old one and put premissions to RW-R-R. If you like 4.3 and don't like 4.2.2 but you only want 4.2.2 keyboard so flash i prerooted 4.3 because you can't Root 4.3.

Hope this helped;)

[Moto X Q&A] vikramkhalsa:
I don't think volume control headphones work with android phones.. at least they never have in my experience (unless maybe they're specially made for it) Only pause/play button works. I don't think its an app issue, its android itself I believe.

As far as players I use a simple less known app called Maple which lets you play from folders and has some cool features like pitch and speed adjustment, and its free.
[Moto X Q&A] DANIEL AMBRUSO:
I have used PowerAmp in free version. Happy feel to using it..
[Moto X Q&A] Quantumstate:
PowerAmp expires after two weeks.

Maple is OK, although I'm still trying to figure out how to play a directory and switch directories.

Also, these are not volume-adjust headphones. They are just regular Koss headphones, but the phone's volume control doesn't have any influence over the volume in them. Controls do work with the phone speaker.
