[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] R0B3RTF1SH3R:
have you re-partitioned by chance?

bootloader 4.3?

did you ever flash 2014-05-01 Nordic countries 4.4.2 N7105XXUFND3 by chance?

random questions I know. just trying to pinpoint / eliminate issues I have along the timeline of events.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] sidxda:
Hi Rob,

I just replied to your PM. But yes I did try flashing with a PIT file. I am on 4.3 bootloader. I've flashed custom Nordic ROMs, not stock from sammobile.

I believe something happened to the GPS when I flashed mr.nth.na.vn's RR CM12.1

At the moment it seems GPS is not working on any other ROM except mr.nth.na.vn's RR CM12.1 :(
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] kohmax:
I am in the same situation with u. Did all that u mentioned. Actually for some reason all the 5.1.1 Rom works for me.

---== N7105 ==---
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] R0B3RTF1SH3R:
yeah , i figured it would be something along those lines.

mine was borked well and before any of remix. i use daily in my sig and have done for a long time, and now im testing out RR, different cook but yeah. its not remix cm11 or 12. that borked gps.

After talking with you in pm, I have a new theory.

that is;

we probably need to go back and flash a 4.1.2 or what ever your phone was shipped with.

because i have a feeling that any thing later 4.3 / 4.4 all the tw roms. never did anything to the gps anyway. so its remained the same since factory release.

along the way it got broken during bootloader or specific rom flash's that tried to take into account peoples GPS problems. which was a bandaid on a gaping wound..

and the ones that did work, probably picked up on some specifics that would still work with modified gps data... ?

what u think?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] sidxda:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but we cannot downgrade the bootloader, can we?

I really have no clue what changed and broke the GPS, but I'm just glad GPS is working again, and RR CM12.1 is good enough as a daily driver with ShiftLP kernel.

[MENTION=6891970]leanhtai[/MENTION] was kind enough to provide the backup file of his N7105's NV data. I will give it a go again when I get a bit more time. I have spent a ridiculous amount of time just trying to get GPS working, I will give it a go over the weekend.

Here is the link if any of you want to try it out.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByCI3hH8BBJyX0xlM1hJbl9rZlU/view

I believe you will need to use this method - http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915

Good luck and please be sure to report what you find. I hope we can figure this out once and for all.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] sidxda:
Progress

Okay so I flashed Jedi X20 (4.1.2), GPS didn't work as expected. Then I restored the NV Data from leanhtai's back. GPS locked on straight away in 9 seconds with 3 meters of accuracy! So that's great and thanks leanhtai for your files. But another problem has come up now, my 4G has stopped working and I'm stuck on Edge (E). I guess I need the NV data from someone in Australia for the 4G to work?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] kohmax:
[emoji29] any idea which part of the world is leanhtai in?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] sidxda:
He lives in Vietnam. So currently I can only use Edge on my Note 2 but GPS is working perfectly. I don't understand why someone with an Australian Note 2 can't just provide us with a copy of their backed up QCN file. It would solve all the issues.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Darkshado:
Silly suggestion: buy an used Note 2, pull the data, resell.

Also, converted thread into a "project" so we don't have an auto split Q&A thread.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] kohmax:
Guess the vn baseband is not compatible with yours...

---== N7105 ==---
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] R0B3RTF1SH3R:
Cant you just get your LTE back some other way.

tried the USSD codes?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] sidxda:
Rob, I've tried a lot of other things but it seems NV data is independent of everything else. Flashing stock ROMs etc does nothing. I tried the USSD codes as well but I just lose signal completely. Given that you are in NZ, any chance I could try restore your NV Data onto my phone?

Thanks,

Sid
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] R0B3RTF1SH3R:
if your NV data is the same data that is related to broken GPS. then im afraid i have broken GPS also.

on device only. it takes up to 3 minutes to lock. even then. its probably just a google network or something TAG sync because its a grey and not a blue dot in maps.

I have an old backup of the phone i made ages ago but even that would not suffice. its seperate.

how do I know if its do-able ?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] sidxda:
Yeah had a feeling it wont fix anything. I have some more bad news, I made a stupid move and flashed this on recommendation of someone else on this forum - http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...3g4g-aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-note-2-sgh-i317/

now my phone's SPC has somehow changed and I have no idea what it is or how to get it. I have tried all the conventional ways after reading for hours on the net but they are all for Sprint/ATT Note 2 and none of them will get me my SPC.

So I'm pretty much stuck now. Can't restore any other QCN backups or anything till I enter the right SPC in QPST
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] R0B3RTF1SH3R:
what do you need?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] antmanPL:
Actually I lost my EFS partition couple months ago. I was upgrading bootloader and modem to latest versions and after that i lost my IMEI, MACadresses and other things. I did EFS backup, but that time i didn't know it's not possible to make a valid EFS backup on N7105.

After 6days of fighting with EFS partition on my N7105 (i tried every possible solution), I discovered, that on Exynos devices there are 3 EFS partitions. One is used as normal /efs mount. Second is used as a migration temp during Samsung OTA update and third is something called gold backup. On this third hidden partition there is an original EFS partition from original stock rom. I tried making image of this partition and restoring it on /efs, but it didn't work. Then i read somewhere, that efs partition are in mulitple formats depending on rom version (actually modem version to be specific). So I did one thing i didn't tried during these 6 long days - i flashed ROM I had on my phone originally (it was some early JB release from my operator -tried 2 or 3 of them, cause i didn't remember what version it was).

I flashed original ROM using Odin with enabled options AutoReboot, Re-Partition, F. Reset Time and Phone EFS Clear. When phone booted up and i saw 3G icon - i almost jizzed my pants ;P

Finally I slowly upgraded my phone through couple versions of JB and 2 versions of KK to be completely sure that my EFS partition has migrated successfully to the newest version of modem (XXUFNI2).

I think this is important solution, which can help a lot of people with Exynos-based Note2 problems.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] R0B3RTF1SH3R:
Thanks for the info.

So in theory.

if you go back like we say to your original rom and want to use say 4.1.2 roms u dont need to do anything.

but if u want 4.3 roms u have to get the right modem version and odin that across then cwm, then u can use any 4.3 rom with your modem/efs intact. then same for 4.4 etc ?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] antmanPL:
Actually, once you upgraded stock rom to latest version (4.4) via Odin or Kies, you can use any custom or stock rom you want, just do not try to downgrade modem, because this can (but not every time for 100%) corrupt your EFS partition (now or later). Older modem will not work with newest EFS partition template. I can confirm, that latest modem+latest bootloader will work with all roms from 4.1 to 5.1. Also downgrading bootloader can (but not have to) brick your phone. So before downgrading anything from Odin (to rescue your EFS partition), upgrade your phone to latest 4.4, which will lock bootloader on version 4.4 and you will not have to worry ever more.

So my advice is to upgrade modem on N7105 only when you really need to. In my opinion, the only 100% safe way to upgrade your modem is to upgrade whole rom with Odin.

Make backup, upgrade via Odin, reflash recovery and restore backup - voila! Upgraded modem and no chance of corrupted EFS partition.

This module works only for the Xperia Keyboard app!

Reported working app versions: from 6.2.B.0.26 to 8.0.A.0.110

What's the idea?

I often type things that aren't words on my phone, yet the prediction storage remembers them all.

I find it tiresome to switch the word prediction whenever I need it or not, so I made this simple module that made life easier!

So, what it does?

It's simple, long-press the space bar to bring up the list of possible prediction modes:

- 'Auto', Automatic word corrections

- 'Semi', Only automatic accent corrections

- 'Manu', Manual selection of corrections

- 'None', No predictions at all

Compatible only with the official Xperia Keyboard app, on any Android version.

Download: Xperia Keyboard Prediction Toggle on Xposed Module Repository

If you found this mod useful consider donating me a coffee, this will help me code ^^

It's not working on my Xperia Z2 with the latest firmware (4.4.2). Is there anything I could do to help? I'd really like to have this feature.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
Send me your exported Xposed logs, and if you're able, the apk of your keyboard app.
[Xposed Framework Modules] 3m2vinatohr04:
Does this support the gesture typing mode in the default keyboard?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
It seems I can't do this after all, because I can't decompile the APK in any way? It's weird.

Are you using the Xperia Keyboard from the market? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.textinput.uxp

When the predictions are turned off completly, the swipe feature is also turned off.
[Xposed Framework Modules] wasab:
Yes, I'm using that one.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ArturGaspar:
It doesn't work with Xperia Keyboard 6.7.A.0.86 on a Z3 Compact.

1.1

I am really wondering why haven't I updated this until now.

With 1.1 I got versions from 6.2.B.0.26 to 6.4.A.1.52 covered.

Report if newer or older versions work too if any of you can ;)

Enjoy!

1.2

[MENTION=5601575]ArturGaspar[/MENTION] Thanks for your input! :good:

Here is 1.2, with support for versions up to 6.7.A.0.50.

As always, enjoy!
[Xposed Framework Modules] ArturGaspar:
It works now! Awesome!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
1.3

Got a new feature update rolled out, after all this time!

Changes:

- Support for Xperia Keyboard app versions up to 6.7.A.0.92!
- Added a preference activity to disable unwanted prediction modes
- Added an overlay for the spacebar to show current selected prediction mode
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
1.4

Another update!

I couldn't stand to look at the text not fitting in the mode selection popup, so I made scaling customizable.

Also, since I got my hands on the newest Xperia Keyboard app version, I made it compatible.

Enjoy ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
1.5.1

Another update rolling in!

Changelog:

- Reworked code structure
- Support for Xperia Keyboard app versions up to 7.2.A.0.32
- Fixed minor bugs
- New app icon
[Xposed Framework Modules] 3m2vinatohr04:
Hi xspeed. First of all thanks for the hard work.

A bit of an idea though. What if upon turning off the prediction, the swipe functionality moves the text cursor. Then when prediction mode is turned on, it goes back to the usual swipe typing.

I also looked into the code and I can't see the actual code for intercepting the space key. Mind showing me the way? (pretty please :D)

Thanks once again :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
I was actually thinking about that a while ago. In the end I think having left and right arrow buttons on the navbar would be better though, therefore if I ever decide to do that, it will be a separate module just for that.

Yeah, well, the GitHub repo is pretty outdated. I am currently in the process of reworking the whole code base of all my modules to make them work on Oreo, so it will be updated at some point.

1.6

That being said, 1.6 is out with Oreo patches and support for 8.0.A.0.110 version.

May work with higher versions though, always worth a try ;)

Why on earth would you want to do such a thing? You realise what the throttling is for right?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darix96:
Because the thermal on this phone is only 55C is possible increase it to 70-80?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iruwen:
You realize that that naturally affects the temperature of other components like the battery and display? Especially the battery can't handle higher temperatures without degradation.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] New Folder:
Don't be surprised when suddenly your back cover falls off after disabling thermal throttling.

Altho you can disable it IF you set max cpu frequency at below 1000hz but there's no point doing it.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raaghul:
I read many other android device users android device on 4.4.2 was overheating. Maybe thats the cause of it?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
No,its not. Its because the CPU and GPU are having to work harder to render the QHD display,therefore there more heat.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helikido:
There is no such thing as over heating. People are just crying about stuff.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidaddict23:
I wouldn't say over heating, more like generating heat, every LG phone I've had got hot, I had the LG g pro when using gps it reach 120 degrees, that's why I returned this phone gave me sweaty hands
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skizzy034:
This def doesn't get as hot as the S4, Note 3, or S5 that I've recently had. It even stays cooler than the G2 I had also.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raaghul:
How long were you using the GPS, when it got 120 degree?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njcobra10tha:
I see 170* plus sometimes. I use a Xposed add in to display CPU temp in status bar. GPS makes it hot because screen is always on. Lowering the brightness helps, but when using the GPS on a longer trip I try and aim some AC at it and then it cools down to 120-130*. My previous phone Note 3 did the same thing although I think the LG G3 gets a little hotter. Sure I worry about heat damaging components that's why I monitor CPU temp through Xposed.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skizzy034:
170 F or C??
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njcobra10tha:
170* F sorry this silly American forgets the rest of the world is on the metric system.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkirmeier:
I use GPS mapping apps all the time and don't keep the screen on. Google maps won't query location when the screen is off unless you run something else like Locus in the background to keep the tracking active. Never have any issues with heat.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skizzy034:
I'm American also but I've gotten in the habit of using metric for phone temps since being on XDA lol.

I think you're ok. I use the same module and every G3 I tested so far (4) have shown up to 80 C (176 F) right after a reboot. It cools down quickly tho.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raaghul:
Hey, I underclocked the cpu with setcpu to 1267mhz, but it still heats like it normally do. do you think it could be battery problem?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] burshturs:
With this procedure you will be able to disable the capacitive buttons and enable the real android onscreen buttons, NOT PIE.

This has been tested in a Tab Pro 8.4 with the latest CM build. If you follow the instructions correctly you shouldn't have any issues, however make a backup just in case. If anyone wants to try it with a stock rom please let me know if it works.

Requisites: Root access and a root explorer.

1. With your preferred root explorer open your build prop and add the following line all the way to the end:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

Save and exit.

2. Navigate to system/usr/keylayout and open sec_touchkey.kl as text.

You should have two lines. Add a # at the beginning of each line as follows:

#key 158 BACK

#key 254 APP_SWITCH

Save and exit.

3. Exit the file explorer and go to settings, buttons and turn off the buttons light.

4. Reboot and voila!!!

I hope this helps.

However, I do not find a file called sec_touchkey.kl in step 2.

Any advice?

I have atmel_mkt_ts.kl, gpio_keys.kl and synaptics_rmi4_i2c.kl instead.

uPDATE - managed to do step 2 by editing generic.kl instead :)

All works great now!

Works like a sharme on cm11. The only thing is that the file isn't named 'sec_touchkey.kl' but 'sec_touchscreen.kl' (newest nightly 9-9-2014)
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] tekarn:
Thanks, works great for me on cm11, too
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] hypophysis:
Works like a charm.

But it's annoying to do this every time I flash a new nightly - so I made a recovery zip-file that does the trick in recovery. Just flash it after you flashed a new ROM.

It's tested on CM11. The script is quite generic and maybe also works on other ROMs.

It first deletes the line with qemu.hw.mainkeys in build.prop if there is one (to avoid duplicates) and then inserts the command at the end of the file.

After that it removes all "#" in front of key assignment in sec_touchscreen.kl (again to avoid duplicates) and then adds "# " in front of every key assignment in this file.

[MENTION=690900]burshturs[/MENTION]: Feel free to post this zip in the OP, if you want to.

The code of the shellscript, if someone is interested:

#!/sbin/sh
sed -i '/qemu\.hw\.mainkeys/d' /system/build.prop
echo "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" >> /system/build.prop
sed -i 's/\# *key/key/gI' /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchscreen.kl
sed -i 's/key/\# key/gI' /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchscreen.kl
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] channeledbymodem:
Good stuff. Thank you ! So I guess the way to undo the process I is simply to flash a CM update?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] hypophysis:
Just flash the ROM again without reset and everything will be as before. Or edit the files as described in the OP and revert the changes.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] baldwyn:
Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but you said to open the build prop and add that line to the bottom and my question is where, exactly? I'm using solid explorer and am in the system root folder but to which file do I add that line? Is it in system>usr>keylayout>Generic.kl like I navigated to to disable the capacitive buttons?

I found how to do that in another post and then enabled Pie, but I'd rather have the normal buttons instead.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] kingofcomedy:
[MENTION=2479894]baldwyn[/MENTION]: build.prop is a file in /system.

You can use this app instead of the build.prop edit. That works just great, The Pro version even allows many customizations incl. behaviour like auto hide or not or custom icons. Important - it works both portrait and landscape,
