[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plugged_in_now:
Hey guys, I've done a lot of searching with no results.

The root of my problems is that my GPS just does not work. I've used GPS Status & Toolbox and the phone does not register any satellites what so ever, so I can't use Google Maps or any app that needs my location. This all started happening from the time I received the phone from HTC. They sent it to me as a screen replacement phone. But now at this point, as I see it, it's a hardware problem. (If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know).

So right when I received the device I Unlocked it, Turned S-Off, and Rooted it. I did all of this before I realized there was a problem with the GPS. So I guess that was my fault. So now, the device is still under warranty but I know that HTC doesn't like them to be tampered with before they replace them (I learned that the hard way to the tune of $250 when I sent in my first device for screen repair).

So here is my device now, please help if you can, I need to get back to 100% stock being Locked, S-On, and Not Rooted.

(Taken from HBOOT)

Unlocked

M8-UL PVT Ship S-Off

CID-T-Mob010

HBOOT-3.19.0.0000

Radio-1.22.213311491.08G

Opendsp-v46.2.2-005640m897_F0.0811

OS-3.32.531.2

emmc-boot 2048 MB

I'm on T-Mobile, running Sense 6.0 on Android 4.4.4.

If anyone can give me an idea of the steps I need to take, please let me know. I just haven't come across a way to go back to Locked and S-On with HBoot 3.19.

Any advice or help would be very welcome, thank you!

Hello,

I stupidly ran the latest OTO application update for my LG G2 d802 on KitKat today, and now it bootloops to TWRP (that was installed with autorec)

How do I recover from this please?

At first, the terminal seemed to show an error after the operation ("not enough space"), but it did fix it none the less and the phone rebooted normally again.

How did you manage this? Mine benched around 16000 with the default settings. I don't think overclocking alone would get 4000 higher.

On the subject of Chrome crashing, I managed to make mine crash less (so it can actually load webpages most of the time) by turning off "Merge Tabs and Apps" and "Autofill forms".

[Samsung Galaxy Ace 3] windywoo:
This is looking really good so far. I'm impressed with the performance on a relatively out of date phone. I think small bugs like Chrome crashing will make me stick with KitKat for now, but the quick progress on Lollipop gives me the impression that it won't be long before I have the latest version of android installed and stable.

This bad ram management is a Google bug, you can find information about it on the Internet. It will be fixed on newer version (5.0.3?) The Google play error is issue from gapps. Flash the latest BETA (I use gapps pico) and everything is fine

(Maybe switch?:D Me not working Music app and working Chrome? :D)

Blisspop ROM uploaded.

Some Notes:

1) You don't have to enable root, it has Root from Chainfire

2) When Sim Unlock appears the numbers are on random position.... (bug?)

3) I had some system freezes. I solved them by pressing the power button to make hard reboot the device. They should have occurred when I used the built-in Device control app (Settings --> Interface --> Device control)

Solved them by factory resetting

4) The stock camera included does not work, download Google Camera

You can try it, but I would recommend a backup before installing it.

CM12 update with fixed Google Chrome and new bootanimation
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 3] FirstMn:
Bootanimation is amazing. I dont know but Music app working( for now ) !
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 3] iceman1979:
I installed the ROM yesterday.

Seems very good. Nice job bro!

Bug/problem in CM12?:

"Call Recorder" app from "clever mobile" doesn't seem to be working.

It records my voice only. It was recording both voices with stock ROM.

ps

Personal opinion:

It is better to install "FULL" Gapps or even "Mini", rather than "STOCK" Gapps.

"STOCK" replaces some of the rom applications, for example "Gallery" with "Google Photos"

Those replaced apps may be better than those in the Gapp package!

I had to reflash ROM/Gapps :(

is Encryption fixed ?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 3] phenglish:
What do you find is broken with encryption? Apart from the phone being much slower when encrypted, which is to be expected given the hardware, I haven't seen any specific encryption related issues using 20150129. I do find after encryption that WiFi Web Login for WiFi access has to retry sometimes, which could be timing related.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 3] punkore:
So.....Snapdragon 400 isn't as powerful as i tought...:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 3] phenglish:
Personally I've never regarded Snapdragon 400 as powerful, and the Galaxy Ace 3 is a low end budget device, which unfortunately my company has chosen to supply it's employees with. It's dreadful with TouchWiz, but thankfully the CM builds make it somewhat useful.

Encryption is particularly bad for performance because:

Snapdragon 400 is ARMv7, and hardware encryption is in ARMv8 and later

Snapdragon has proprietry encyption that requires closed source code not in AOSP to use (see http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-6-device-encryption-performance-568629/ and https://plus.google.com/+ArtemRussakovskii/posts/G93J5QELVyj)

My IT department wanted all devices encrypted, so I did encrypt mine to try it out. Now when I get around to doing a full backup and wipe I'll be removing encryption, it makes the phone too painful to use. My IT Department accepts that Touchdown provides sufficient protection for email if the device doesn't support full encryption, while of course they would prefer everything is encrypted.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 3] [St.]:
Are you certain you're not confused?

The encryption process never actually initiates for me. It will accept a passphrase, and reboot, but that's it. The encryption process never actually begins. It should initiate an encryption process after this reboot that takes anywhere from 20~60+ minutes to complete, but it never does. After which one can go back to the encryption settings and clearly see that the device isn't encrypted.

What you mention in regards to WiFi has been a longstanding issue not related to encryption, it happens in the cm-11.0 builds as well, and understandably carried over to the cm-12.0 builds. You can find a few reports of "Wireless Sleep of Death" in the cm-11 thread if you go hunting for them.

The only workaround I have found for this is to set "Keep WiFi on during sleep" to 'Never", and rely on my mobile data. Otherwise the wireless connection hangs, sending outgoing packets endlessly, and getting back nothing in return, remaining in this state until the connection is severed and brought back up.

WiFi will also occasionally forget the access point credentials during a reboot or power cycle, forcing you to re-enter the passphrase. This is also reported sporadically in the cm-11 thread.

I'll update this post with a logcat of the failed encryption process when I have the device on hand.

EDIT: Done. Logcat added. You can see quite clearly at the beginning of the logcat where it is failing (I flushed the logcat buffer and filtered only for errors). The logcat is every error (and there's a lot of them, wow) from initiating the encryption process, to getting to the lockscreen again after the reboot. Search for instances of "E/Cryptfs" to find the relevant portions.

EDIT 2: The error gave me a few hints so I started looking around.

The "E/Cryptfs ( 186): Orig filesystem overlaps crypto footer region. Cannot encrypt in place." gave me the hint I needed.

***DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS***

OK, lets find the data partition.

~ # mount
...
/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 on /data type ext4 (rw,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered)
...

And now its size.

~ # cat /proc/partitions
...
179 23 5560303 mmcblk0p23
...

Lets see if we can shrink that a bit. But by how much? At this point, I have to say, I took a guess. Lets try 32000b

~ # mke2fs -T ext4 -L data /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 5528303

OK...that seemed to work. It didn't blow up at least. Now, lets format the data partition in recovery to make sure its all kosher. That seemed to work. Good.

Now, lets reboot and see if encryption works. Woo! OK, so far so good.

I'll keep you guys posted, for now, things are looking good.

EDIT 3: Setting

BOARD_USERDATAIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 5821643776

seems to have done the trick (I simply doubled the value reserved in 544c217), but I want independent confirmation of this. I build for this device VERY rarely, and am not particularly familiar with its quirks. Again, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS - Be safe, don't be sorry.

[Saint]
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 3] Argenis_jbc:
Hey sorry for be annoying but do you think continue resurrection remix project? :) or i have to forgot this idea from my mind??
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 3] phenglish:
Encryption definitely initiated, and completed after about 20 minutes or so, then there was a frightenly long boot process before it came up. If I go into Security I see Encrypted under Encryption, and adb recognised it as encyrpted, requiring a password as a result when backing up.

Since then the phone has occassionally reset and gone into a boot loop a couple of times, so things aren't completely right, indeed the adb backup was so I can wipe it and remove encryption which does slow the phone down a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace 3] [St.]:
That's very interesting indeed...

I hadn't been able to get it to work, at all. Period.

Not until my workaround described in my lengthy edit-riddled post earlier.

I wonder, though it shouldn't matter at all, what device variant is yours? I have several of the 7275T variants and as shown in my logcat, encryption falls over at a very early stage.

There's one thing I hadn't tried, and I'm just investigating this now...will update if I have any luck.

EDIT: Nope, the one thing I hadn't tried, trying to encrypt on an absolutely clean install, no gapps, formatted partitions, absolutely clean...didn't work either. The only thing working for me is the workaround I described earlier.
