[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nad4321:
Hey guys!

I have trying to get a location with my GPS (no wifi, data or whatever) and it never gets a signal.

I have been waiting with the phone outside around 5-6 min and nothing.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

Settings/Location/ Mode = High Accuracy. Also turn on Google Location Reporting under Location Services and see if that helps. Without data you will need to save a map for offline use. I would install "GPS Status & Toolbox" from the Play Store and run that, it will also download updated GPS assistance data. The GPS Status app it will show how many satellites your device sees and how many of those it is locked on to. On my N5 google maps is sometimes not as accurate with Location Reporting off so I generally always leave location reporting on. I also leave the Location Mode in battery saving except when I need to use Maps or Nav.

Hi, I just wanted to let you you know about a new Bluetooth headset I bought. As you have probably discovered, once you set your BT headset down, ANYWHERE, it just "disappears". "grr" Anyway, the last headset I had was a Jabra 500, which I really liked because it fit well and didn't stick out really far and make me look like a borg. <smile> Anyway...I have a fairly soft, midrange voice, so people were always complaining regardless of what I did. So after my latest Jabra "went for a walk", I decided to do some research and see waht I could come up with....besides, $80 to $120 adds up pretty quick---even on the company's budget....lol.

Well, much to my surprise, I found some pretty good reviews on the Netlink Bluespoon AX2. It actually has a little spring so that it sits inside your ear and it is probably only slightly larger than one of those old time hearing age---even the "tech support" guys who work for me thought I was talking to myself...lol. It does sound a little staticy at times to me, on my end, if I get to far away, but people can hear me REALLY clearly. With my voice, that is AMAZYING. I got mine on ebay for about $35. It also uses a watch battery that you can replace easily and a standard usb charger cable.

For me, for the price and the fact that people can hear me, I give it two thumbs up!

Looking for a 12V DC charger at a local store..

Choices aren't great...

Walmart, Staples, Radio Shack, Target....

I bought one at Walmart for all Samsung devices, but it didn't work..

What should I be looking for...

I tried asking one of the Techs at Staples.. Dumb idiot was useless...

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] death_legend:
I bought this pack about 2 years ago. Always give me a full amp charging. You'll need a good usb cable though.

Edit: can't post links, search Walmart Rayovac usb charger.

12vdc charger and a separate household comes in about $12
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] benraines:
Appreciate the info...

What is a good usb cable considered...

i bought a 12v Duarcell USB 2.1 Amp today.

It charges my Galaxy S3. but doesn't charge the i717..

I'm starting to wonder if I need a better cable like you are recommending.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] benraines:
I have a couple cables that work with the AC USB adapter and on my computer..

But they will not work with the 2.1 amp DC usb adapter.

I figured the 2.1 amp would be enough.

What should I be looking for Amp/Watt wise in an adapter...

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] death_legend:
delayed response. the good cable i mentioned would be any charging specific cable where the data pins are shorted to force most phones into ac charging, or any cable with a decent gauge wire in it. i ran into a problem with some really cheap cables that were overheating at the pins due to bad solder joints. The phone showed it was charging but the battery would drop unless the screen was off. It took nearly two days to charge with that cable. The cable didnt feel warm at all, but it had too much resistance to carry the current for the phone.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILowry282:
I have a T-Mobile M8 that I converted to a GPE. I've noticed that my signal bar constantly fluctuates. I never lose LTE, but I go from 3 bars to 1 bar to 2 bars and back to 3 bars several times. WhenI had sense it showed a steady signal
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ducted:
Things like that prevented to convert my stock Sense into GPE. If you noticed, the RUU update contains new firmwares for radio, adsp and others for your device, that could be not 100% compatible with your hardware version (AFAIK Sense & GP have different model IDs).

But this is only my thought and I'm new to this world, I could be totally wrong.

Anyway, if you don't lose the signal it could be a bug related only to the interface data interpretation. Your connection is stable, but the software doesn't read it properly.

Try any app like SignalCheck and compare the readings.

Cheers!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILowry282:
So according to this I should show more bars right?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILowry282:
Can I flash a different radio?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Is that with the GPE radio or the stock T-Mobile radio? Have you tried flashing back the T-Mobile radio?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILowry282:
It's the radio that came with the RUU zip file. Can I just go ahead and flash the T-Mobile one? I changed the CID to the Google one if that matters. If I can flash the T-Mobile one, do you know where I can find it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ducted:
Seen your graph with SignalCheck, it looks like you have more radio signal strength than the signal bars are showing.

I think you don't have to worry about unless the connection drops out totally. Sometimes I get the same readings in my Sense edition.

Anyway, if you want to try, here is a compilation of different radio firmwares, including two for T-Mobile:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2736921

If you decided to flash a new radio, first connect your device to your computer and do a backup of your current radio firmware with the following procedure:

Open a command prompt in your computer where your ADB & Fastboot commands are located and type the next commands (press enter after every one).

- Type: adb shell

- Type: su

(Check your device screen if your root program (SuperSU or Superuser) asks to grant root permission, and allow it.)

- Type: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/sdcard/radio.img

- Type: exit

- Type: exit

- Type: adb pull /sdcard/radio.img

Now you have in your ADB folder a backup of your current radio firmware, follow the procedures to flash a new radio firmware and if something goes wrong, just flash the one you backed up.

Cheers!

[Recovery] [RUU] [TWRP Nandroids] [Radio IMGs]
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] S-I-M-O-N:
This mod for CM11 on moto_msm8960 brings back the classic sdcard mount we know from devices like the Nexus One.

No more cluttering of /data with files which should go to sdcard.

Features:

- External sdcard mounted as /sdcard

- Internal memory fully available for /data

Installation:

- Have a nandroid backup of /boot and /system at hand if something goes wrong

- Simply flash the zip over your existing CM11 installation

- Wipe data is not necessary but will help if you have problems.

Deleting only the data of the concerned apps should be sufficient. (Only apps storing data on sdcard are effected)

- Files which were on the emulated sdcard can be found at /data/media/0. This is also the location where you have to put your zip files to be able to flash them with OpenRecovery.

Method:

Adjusting of following CM11 files to be in line with Nexus One example configuration according to:

http://source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/config-example.html

boot.img

- init.qcom.rc

- fstab.qcom

framework-res.apk

- storage_list.xml

See my github for details: https://github.com/S-I-M-O-N/android_device_motorola_moto_msm8960

Disclaimer:

This was developed and tested on a Photon Q but should work on all moto_msm8960 devices with CM11.

I cannot be held responsible if anything goes wrong while using this mod.

Thank you to everyone this work is based on: Cyanogenmod team for providing CM11, Google for providing Android and everybody else

Download

I will try to keep this thread updated and provide a flashable zip for the latest CM11 snapshot.

See attachment at the bottom.

Simon

Any updated version for CM11 M8 build?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] S-I-M-O-N:
I am downloading M8 right now. Expect an update within the next days.

Until then it should be relative safe to flash the M7 sd-mod over CM11 M8, you will just miss the updates concerning the kernel and framework.

EDIT: Well, it's not. Stuck in Boot. Stay tuned for an update.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
Yeah..I've tried it over M8 and my phone stucked in bootloop. Thanks for your work. I've missed my sdcard as primary storage since JellyBean days. I'm glad I can use my 32gb sdcard usefully.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] S-I-M-O-N:
Download for M8 added.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
Thanks a lot..Downloading it now.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] thewraith420:
Hmm so I'm guessing the likelihood of this working on nightly builds isn't good?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] S-I-M-O-N:
You could give it a try.

Nandroid backup boot and system, then flash the mod.

If it screws up, just go back and restore boot and system.

Apart of that I think we should wait a few days to see if we get a moto_msm8960_jbbl M9 build. If yes I will, make the patch for it. If no, I will pick the latest nightly.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] S-I-M-O-N:
After reading that we won't get a M9 build I made an update for nightly 20140814.

It seems the ramdisk is growing and abootimg was already complaining that it was too large. I had to delete copyrights and disclaimers to squeeze out some bytes. I hope that this trend does not continue, otherwise I need to find other means to bild the boot.img.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] EpicSaga:
Are there any issues with this mod when flashing a new ROM? Say you're going from a snapshot build to a newer snapshot build, or even from a snapshot build to to a stable build?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] S-I-M-O-N:
Flashing a new ROM will overwrite the mod. So you are using the emulated sdcard on internal memory. Apps which stored data on the sdcard will not find their data, just like when you install the mod the first time.

Nevertheless if you stick to CM11 snapshots for which the mod has been adapted and you flash another release, just flash the mod for this release while you are still in recovery and you will have no problems.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rbeavers:
Made the mistake of installing a nightly restored my backup. But can't get the classic sdcard back. Have re flashed no joy. Is there a way to get it back, with out doing a clean install?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] S-I-M-O-N:
Did you create the backup including the mod?

Did you restore system and boot?

Did you try to just flash CM11 M11 + MOD for M11?

Do you have bootloops?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rbeavers:
YDid you create the backup including the mod?

No

Did you restore system and boot?

Not sure about the boot, will check.

Restored backup m11 and flashed sddcard mod.zip.

Do you have bootloops?

No

Might be a mute point.

The restore is eating my battery!

Doing a clean m10 updating to m11 Now.

Will install sdcard mod and see how it goes.

Thanks.

I should know here in the next 15 min.

OK!

With out flashing sdcard mod after m11 installed I now have

4 gig.

My guess is my back up was not m11 or JB bootloader?

Thanks for the fast reply!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
The PQ has no KK bootloader, so every (working) ROM for the PQ is based on the JB bootloader.

As long as you haven't modified your /system after updating to M11 and flashing gapps and sdcard_mod, you should be fine by just do the same again.

But it's always risky, from a nightly to a snapshot. Downgrades are also risky and might not work.

You might just wait until M12 comes out and use your backup to restore it.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] S-I-M-O-N:
M12 is here :D
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] andi_o:
patch does not work on nightlies anymore

patching the nightlies with patches from simons github does not work anymore. (endless bootloop)

it seems something changed in CM11's fstab since M12.

the patches worked for a while with nightlies released after M12, but not anymore

is anybody able to bring the classic sdcard mount back to current nighlies or has any idea what was changed exactly and how to fix this?

thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] S-I-M-O-N:
Hello andi,

work keeps me quite occupied, so I was not very active recently.

But your post catched my attention. I had a quick look at the commits towards the three relevant files, and there were none since M12, so something else is wrong I guess.

Nevertheless I will try to put together the patch for the 16 Feb nightly. Nightlies seem to be longer available now, so this justifies to make the mod based on a nightly.

Stay tuned.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] andi_o:
thanks for your reply!

you said there were no recent changes, so i checked it again and found the error.

i made a really stupid mistake in my notes and copied one of the patches into the wrong folder!

now i can confirm that your patch still works with the latest nightlies, so don't worry, sorry!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dan.dior:
So whats to do, to get no bootloop with the patch????
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dan.dior:
doesn't work and support?

It looks like, that there is no way...

And after a lot of testing... Android 5 is a get your data monster vs older firmware, and on its based CM12 is not stable.

Want to switch to the latest CM11.. But any short help with patching?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pizzulicchio:
Is it planned a "classic sdcard mount" for Android 5 on the Photon Q or not ?

Installing from scratch is it suggested to use the latest classic sdcard mount patch or not ?

I'd like to install cm-12-20150315-NIGHTLY-xt897.zip ( the today's latest lollipop build ) but I'd like to have the classi sd card mount.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] S-I-M-O-N:
In principle the mod should work on CM12 as well. The problem is that it effects framework-res.apk which is needed to sign the apk. So the framework-res.apk from the installable patch needs to be compatible to the ROM. Nearly all nightlies or releases of a ROM change something inside framework-res.apk accordingly the patch will only work on the version of the ROM it was made for. This is why I sticked to the milestone releases of CM11.

Nevertheless I will try to make the patch for CM12, but currently I have troubles to make it even for the last CM11 nightly.

I suspect it is because I wiped my armel debian chroot and switched to armhf leading to nonworking patches. I have to further investigate.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tobby88:
Did you already get it running on CM12(.1)? :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] S-I-M-O-N:
I am still on CM11. Is CM12 mature enough to be a daily driver?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tobby88:
Hmm... not really :laugh:

But I try to get this working on CM12 - and there's no need to do the work twice if you already got this running.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tobby88:
I just compiled a CM12 with your changes, booted it and so far it seemed to work. :) I'll do some more tests and also I try to create a version of TWRP using the same partition layout.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pizzulicchio:

If everything works as expected and if users are interested in it, I will create a thread for it and post updates.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pizzulicchio:
Fantastic!

i have reflashed my photon q using your UNOFFICIAL build and all is working great!

Thank you very very much!

Can you explain to me what is "TWRP2.8.6.0 with classic sdcard mount" ?

Is a sort of modded TWRP recovery?

Let me know
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tobby88:
Thank you, too, for testing it. I am now testing it since Friday :) Looks like it is running without any problems.

Basically there are the same changes as in the CM-build. So it will not create a /data/media directory anymore and it will not mount this internal (emulated) mass storage. Instead it will set the external card as default (mounted on /sdcard instead of /external_sd like inside of this CM build).

A backup of /data will now include all directories and not exclude anything anymore. A wipe of /data will now not "rm -rf" all files on the filesystem but recreate (format) the filesystem in the same way it already does for all other wipes (/system, /cache, ...).

This makes it MUCH easier to backup and restore and especially to change between different filesystems (ext4 to f2fs or f2fs to ext4 p.e.), especially for those people who have problems with the filesystem-corruption in f2fs.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pizzulicchio:
can i update using classic cyanogenmod update notification? or updatin will i lose the classic sdcard mount?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You will certainly lose it, any updates to the boot.img.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tobby88:
You will loose it. So you have to flash new "classic-sdcard-mount-builds". I sometimes compile new versions, because I am using this on my Photon Q as well. Take a look at this (crappy) page http://tobby.eu/downloads/cm.html :) New builds are available now (just uploaded them). But I didn't test the 21th and 22th builds - so make a backup before you flash them! :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Ad1982:
I'm running CM11 version 11-20140326-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960, I'm guessing none of these would work for me without getting stuck in a bootloop, is that correct? Thanks for the help!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
It seems that the cm 12.1 snapshots do not support the SD-card with ext4/f2fs as a filesystem.

Have to go back to FAT32 >.<

(Hate this incompatibility of Android.)

The reason is probably the same as this: https://github.com/LegacyXperia/local_manifests/issues/75

The fc of an app is nearly the same, a few words at the end are different.:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get provider com.android.providers.media.MediaProvider: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: can't obtain external volume ID even though it's mounted

(The error-message has been copied from the link and have been modified to the "remembered" error-message.)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rabinhood:
Would it be possible to make a similar mod for CM13? (I know MM can use sd-card as /data, but does it in a bizarre way - I don't like an encrypted storage that can't be read in any other device - what if my mobile is damaged - I lose all data etc.)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tobby88:
Haven't tested it yet, but the encryption key seems to be in /data/misc/vold/ and is named expand_[ID].key It should be enough to copy this key to a new device with Android 6. But please test this before you really need it for the first time :D
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
All I can say is that I'm very happy with running my SanDisk 64GB SD card set-up in mixed mode under CM13

I have half of the card space set as adopted storage (encrypted, used as the internal SD card). It gives me plenty of space for app data.

The other half of the card is set as portable storage (the usual unencrypted vfat, used as the external SD card, mountable everywhere).

It works very well for me and I don't perceive any slowdowns due to the encryption.

Once you back-up the key from /data/misc/vold/, you should be able to decrypt and mount the adopted storage on any linux machine.

So my One's battery died the other day and it obviously shut off. no big deal, I plugged it in and went on my way making some dinner. Then a few hours later I went to bed and turned the phone on and it booted up just fine. Then I went to set my alarm for the next morning and it reset itself. This continued endlessly. Reset, boot into android, sit for 30 seconds and reboot. I can get into recovers and was able to clear cache and what not which did not help. I also did a backup and factory reset, then restored with no luck. I ended up restoring an old back up which seems to have worked for the day. However I just flashed a theme and it did not take, so I cleared cache and now I'm in this same boot loop.

Any ideas? I'm using a Bad Boyz 4.4.2 kitkat rom. I've been using it since the beginning of the year with no issues until now.
