[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] POQbum:
From article

"Samsung hasn't confirmed any Android 5.0 Lollipop updates for its devices; however, at least one device from the manufacturer is certain to receive the new software. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play edition should be among the first devices to receive Android 5.0."

So, we should be among the first to get the update. It will likely be out in the Google Play Edition ROM's first, and official update probably a lot later. I wouldn't expect it to come too soon, but it will arrive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
Nah, Android version codename lap dance. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
He actually asked official Ahaha

People hear of something new, and just want it because it new. No idea what it actually is nor anything about it. (Just fyi its not even released yet.) Kinda like multi window on the s3. Everyone cried for. 1000s and 1000s. Finally got it, and honestly how many people actually use it? I bet I can count the percentage on my hands.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
You are totally right on the above - .

I have read that 5.0 (hate Google's names) is supposed to be a major update (with Art, etc) and the reviews covered other new features - but will have to see if, bottom line, it will really reflect a major step forward.

Totally off topic here - getting tired hearing all the hoopla about Apple Wallet - been using Google Wallet for two years - what's the big deal ?

It can be "possible" that the Android L can prevent root. But that is mainly for phones with a locked bootloader, which we dont have........

But, first it was Knox, now Google is trying to make it to where you cant even root your phone. Go to the Portal and read this.

I had a feeling bad news was in the works after reading that Samsung had licensed Knox to Google. This just confirms that it really is a bigger deal than a lot of people care to admit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Well Samsung has already made things difficult with the Note 4. ALL pngs are now in qmg format. And as to date there is NO Windows program to convert them back to png. Which means in order to theme the phone it has to be done one by one. Not including the matching xml edits.

It would take forever and a day to convert them all........
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
I had no idea. I was planning on upgrading to the Note 4. I still might, but that sucks something serious. TBH, my heart skipped a beat when I learned that the Moto Nexus 6 would be available through Tmo as well as the other major carriers. I've never owned a Motorola or a Nexus device, and your post definitely tips the scale in that direction for me as long as it's rootable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KennyG123:
OP..as you can see by the trolling answers...no one knows when an update will come except when the info is leaked and then only about a week before it happens. Don't expect Lollipop until well after New Year's. It will be a couple of months before it hits the international version, then a month to three after that before the US carriers start releasing it. This is always always always the trend. So watch the international forums for updates if you MUST know nao.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
I imagine GPE ROMs will be first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
Thought The Sickness link above to report on Google announcement for release of both new Nexus devices with 5.0 and OTA (but not for who or where) on November 3 was rather specific.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
That date is for release to OEMs/carriers/Nexus devices. It doesn't apply to the SGS4 specifically which is what Kenny was talking about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Pffft who has 4.4.4 and who doesn't? Huh? Huh? We dooooo. Which probably just means international will skip it and go to L. Ahaha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KennyG123:
Probably. Wasn't 4.4.4 mostly carrier dependent fixes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Maybe some, but I had tried international and T-Mobile 4.4.2 and they didn't differ very much in performance or battery life, but with 4.4.4 NH7 I can see a big improvement on both those things..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jok3r10:
It took forever for us to get Kitkat so if I were you i wouldnt be expecting the update anytime soon. My suggestion, if u wanna try the latest android switch to AOSP, the google version of Samsung Galaxy S4 will be getting the update pretty soon :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
Exactly - that is a good reason to get familiar with a multiboot setup. Have an AOSP ROM installed and am hoping they update it to 5.0 soon after it comes out. In the meantime, have both TMo TW 4.4.4 and international TW 4.2.2 as daily drivers, so will not have to dump anything to try it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
But yall are all forgetting one thing.....Lockdown.

Yes, our bootloader is unlocked. But that doesn't mean any other internal code can be manipulated.

So before anyone gets all excited it would be best to do some homework once it is available for the S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jok3r10:
I switched from TW .... its too laggy for me man ...

Yes sir.. no point in getting excited :( ...

I love the HTC weather app as it looks so beautiful, but I must say a lot of the time the weather forecasts seem to be incorrect compared to Google now weather forecasts...Has anybody else noticed this, or just me lol?

For example it's raining right now and HTC weather app says it is a clear night whilst Google now app correctly reports that that it should be raining...there is nothing wrong with the location on the HTC spp app as it gets its location via GPS...

Would be cool if the app was updated do the user could change weather providers ?
[One (M8) General] mwatson:
Most weather apps contradict each other. Google now gets its data from The Weather Channel. HTC gets its data from Accuweather.

Just keep an eye on both and see which you trust. right now its party sunny where I am. Google reflects that and says 16 degrees, so too does HTC. Its a draw where I am!

[V speaking: This thread is for general GPS discussions. Please use this thread to report solid facts. Thanks!]

Today weve learned from the neighbours forum that GPS One is alive and very much kicking... Our Hermes seems to have the same Chipset and same Qualcomm 6275 chip, now the big question is - once our baby brother mastered its GPS, whataboutus (what about us..)..

Any thoughts..

Guys IT WORKS... to all those unbelievers... I've upgraded the ROM in a chinch, installed IGO 2006 and with trembling hands activated the GPS:

1. Fix was almost immediate

2. Sat. discovery was beyond expectations - 7 Sats

3. Almanach saved (meaning next GPS off/on got me immediate fix)

4. GPS Accuracy (DOP) = 1.2

Now all unbelievers, eat your hats.

All remaining is to adapt DOPOD ROM to our Hermeses. Let's see now what we can do here.

Dopod ROM with GPS enabled from Trinity won't boot on Hermes. The GPS is enabled by the RADIO (see trinity radio rom versions end in .11). Both devices have similar radio, but AFAIK no one tried to flash a trinity radio on hermes.

See this thread for more information on the GPS in hermes devices:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] SaarAvigour:
Hi Pof, that's exactly what I'm saying, and I don't expect it to be a 1-2-3 thing either.. It's only that about a month ago I published an article investigating the GPS enigma on the Trinity. The investigation has led me to the conclusion that Trinity does have a GPS, but also to the fact that Trinity and Hermes share similar radio and same Qualcom chip with GPS One on board.

So earlier today I get a phone call from a friend telling me of the Dopod ROM for the Trinity enabling GPS. I couldn't wait anymore, fetched me a Trinity, dlded the ROM (while still available..) and in ~10 Mins., Voila, I'm holding in my hands the proof for my investigation and article.

Then I thout to myself..hmm.. next case, now let's prove that this can work on the Hermes as well (a side assumption in my article). If it can, it's gonna make the Hermes the real king of the hill... HSDPA, All-Band, Video-Call, Qwerty, 2MP Macro Cam., Fast CPU...now add a GPS and one has THE best yet PPCPE ever available.

I'll drink for that, .:-)

Almost too good to be true :)

I am all ears :) let's try this happen...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe we need buy in from operators too. They support gpsOne by providing the system that crunches raw fixes into positional information. In this case, a hermes would send raw data to and endpoint on (say Cingular's) network and services there would convert to fix & return.

I may be all wrong here but that was how I interpreted gpsOne.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] DAFTEK:
So will that Rom work on the Hermes? I have the Cingular 8525 and i had an option to download a software for GPS from Cingular for a monthly fee but i just use my BT-338 & iGo.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] i||uSi0n^:
well if its true what you say and that it is sure they will support trinity's gpsOne + given that tytn has exactly same gpsOne = shouldnt tytn be supported too automatically?

i||uSi0n^
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ionide:
From what i've understood that's not really the case. gpsOne can function as a normal standalone gps device, with the added feature that it can rely on assistance from the cellular network if it supports it. This results in a quicker fix and better accuracy. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS)

But standalone GPS should be possible! :)

The only question that remains is:

Is the GPS hardware of the hermes connected in a functional way?

The chips are there, but is there an antenna? And does GPS need a separate antenna? I can't see a lot of differences on internal photo's of Trinity and Hermes.

If all radios use the same antenna and if it's connected to the Qualcomm RFR6250 chip, the trinity radio rom just might enable GPS on Hermes. I certainly hope so. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] vador:
And where is the antenna in the trinity?

I think we can compare the pictures of hermes and trinity that are in the FTP. If you see they are very similar.

I bet hermes has a gps, but htc didn't advertise maybe because battery problems, software problems or even hardware problems.

But first we need to find where is the antenna in trinity and then,see if we have a similar thing in hermes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
ok, if anyone has the balls to flash a trinity radio on hermes PM me... but this will most likely kill the device, I don't want to try with my hermes :P

@ionide: tks for the clarification! I just wasn't sure given what I was reading.

We ultimately need a (goldcard?) solution that is guaranteed to bring back a hermes from brickdom...

No need to do it from OS, you can connect to the GSM network from bootloader using AT commands:

USB> rtask b <---- enter gsm bootloader
ate1 <---- enable local echo
atv1 <---- enable verbose output
AT+CFUN=1
AT+CPIN=1234 <---- replace 1234 with your SIM PIN code
AT+CREG=2
AT+COPS=0

But it doesn't make any difference, still no satellites in view on my tests.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] NeoCole:
What about the Data Jack on the bottom?

Okay, I've read through this. It's really silly if HTC didn't build in this functionality. I can't see why not? What's the additional cost.

That Mini USB jack at the bottom of the phone. Has it been fully mapped out? I know it's got more pins on the top side that isn't used by MiniUSB and is special to HTC only.

Just a thought.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
yeah, it has, it's on the Wiki.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] RonenB:
Are we looking at the problem from the right side? We are all concerned about the poor reception. In my mind, this is phase 2. Currently we should concentrate on the question how come we cannot get the GPS signal from the OS side? Once we will get this to work, we will be able to evaluate the reception.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] andyf1:
But it isn't just poor reception... It's almost non existant reception. The nmea data strings that we are seeing being passed back are no different to what would be passed back to an application on the OS side if we had performed the OS integration.

If we can't get a basic satellite fix in the direction we are looking, I think it would be a large waste of effort pursuing the OS integration of a what appears to be a flawed subsystem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] vijay555:
Ronen - I think that as andyf1 says, this is the correct side (ie bootloader first). Accessing the signals from the OS side isn't particulary difficult IMHO, so long as there is a signal worth reading [we can make and respond to AT commands through the OS without much difficutly]

I doubt that the other Trinity support dlls will be involved in "enabling" the GPS feature, but has anyone tried reading the GPS data from the Trinity in the same way, ie from bootloader? See if it gives positive results or the same dodgy data as Hermes. If it's the same as Hermes, we know there are more software configuration steps to take and can pursue that route.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chymmylt:
I think you're right - once we get support internally we can start figuring out hardware mods if need be to improve signal - another question is do we even know for sure that this radio driver is even working correctly - sure it seems to work with the GSM radio and it's enabled functionality in the GSM chip but this doesn't mean it's 100% compat with the TyTN?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
can't read from trinity bootloader V... it has no ability to get to the radio AT command set. :(
