[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantsDownJedi:
Now browser material pro, specifically that version as well since theres various versions of now browser. Look for ad block on the app description to be sure.

Also Javelin browser. It loads pages in the background in a widget overlay that appears as a dot on the screen. I find that annoying and it can be turned off in the settings. I have a reference number to gift it to two people so first 2 to grab it can have it: http://javelinbrowser.com/gift/4Osgq/

The first browser runs much lighter on the battery but it's been quite some time since I ran Javelin and it may have been improved since then.

Both of these browsers have been featured in xda if I remember correctly. Both, I think, need ad blocking enabled in settings. I just checked Javelin and I think it is the case for Now Browser as well; used to be part of the first run set up.

Hi,

I'm seriously tempted by the Z5 compact (I have a Nexus 5 ATM), but I'd want root access mainly to use an ad-blocker (my preference is AdAway) - is this possible on the Z5?

I didn't think root could be achieved without some serious compromises?

Thanks for any info
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HvdW:
Let me tell you about my config.

I think it keeps most of the bad guys out.

- Firefox with Add-ons

- Blu hell firewall - the desirable lightness of Bluhell balances with good performance

- Clean links - cleans & resolves URLs that have been shortened or proxied

- Self-destructing cookies - protects against trackers and zombie-cookies

- HTTPS-everywhere - what's in a name

- DuckDuck Go - the search engine that doesn't track you

Try it, you'll like it.

Adguard

No root, almost perfection.

Theres no other adblock thats as good. Adaway as we know is root only and leaves big gaps where the ad should have been.

Adguard does not.

The only annoying thing is persistent notification.

[P3600 Software Upgrading] sAnTeE:
Eheh, I didn't want to believe to it, but it seems to work:D

Install this small freeware and run it BEFORE you launch any GPS program: it downloads approximately 35 kbytes on your ppc and it allows you to have a rapid fix (a warm fix even if it should be a cold one).

Try it and write about your experience.

Ciao :D
[P3600 Software Upgrading] sAnTeE:
I add some explanations on the program.

QGPS: improve your TTFF to seconds!

If you have a PPC with built-in GPS - this software is for you.

This is a small freeware that downloads Ephemeris data to your PPC using an internet connection with Activesync. If your GPS was off for more than 4 hours, then the next time you start it up you get a cold start , where the Ephemeris data needs to be DL to the receiver. This can take a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on your device and location.

The software downloads this data to your PPC so that you , in fact , get a warm start!

Just start the program, click the Connect button (no need for the 10 days data), and within a few seconds , you get the most up-to-date data. Now go outside and start your GPS program - you'll get a fix within 10 seconds!
[P3600 Software Upgrading] extenue:
sorry ... no fix after 30 secs :(
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Guybrush:
here after 67 sec.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Matterhorn:
OH Yesss. Very cool! This worked for me. I did a soft reset which usually means the GPS takes 1 minute or more under the most ideal conditions, much longer if you are moving or around buildings. After downloading the data with this app, it locked about 10 seconds after the GPS was recognized by the system. However it failed to initiate a connection automatically, I had to manually connect to IE to get a connection, then it downloaded the data every time.

THANKS!
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Cyrus Kourosh:
Tried with an HP Travel Companion iPAQ rx5935 of a colleague here at work and it works fine too.

And as Matterhorn said: It failed to initiate a connection, I have to start IE first... then download the data.

Thanks a lot.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] extenue:
97 secs to have a fix , i am a quiet disappointed :(

i use the last radio
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Cyrus Kourosh:
I did not compute exactly the time needed for the HP. It was something around 1min too. But without this soft... we was around 5 min.

Also... It highly depends on the area where you are (discovered area… buildings...)
[P3600 Software Upgrading] sAnTeE:
I also had to establish the connection manually:)

[P3600 Software Upgrading] YYYYY:

[P3600 Software Upgrading] alnajmi:
It works great for me. Way faster than before. Thanks
[P3600 Software Upgrading] travegliaesogno:
I totally agree (apart the world stolen).

I think (maybe i'm wrong) that to have a Istant Fix you need not only a program that download the ephemeris, but another piece of software that in some way tell to your gps chip: "this is the current satellite location". In this way you can speed up the fix.

But the avaricum Qgps in this case can ONLY make an ephemeris download.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] J.P.:
Is it between my ears or do it work whit p3600 too?

I thougt that i had a faster fix but if other persons say dat it can't work with the p3600 it must be between my ears...
[P3600 Software Upgrading] ZakMcRofl:
How are you testing? First without fix, then with? That would explain the improvement, a second fix is always quicker.

Best test would be to first try with fix, then without. I don't know enough about this stuff but maybe someone wants to do a proper experient.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] extenue:
+1 and i made the test yesterday after work backing home : this stuff does nothing :)
[P3600 Software Upgrading] YYYYY:
For me it accelerates the fix as I said, before this tool it took about 5 min up to 15 min fpr the first fix, with this tools less than 2 minutes, both were cold starts
[P3600 Software Upgrading] ulischultz:
Good improvment on my trinity also!

When I use this tool and start tomtom after that and go to the gps details, the position of the satellites are already visible! It then takes only short time to the first connection. This tool does exactly what it should do.

Perfect would be a script, that does an update via activesync every day.

Can anybody do that?
[P3600 Software Upgrading] dew.man:
There's a huge difference between Time To First Fix, and a Hot Fix, and a complete reboot DOES NOT insure you're doing a cold start as the GPS retains memory.

To truly check/compare the effects of this app, you must do a series of tests timing both cold and hot fixes, with and without QGPS, and at least 4 (24 would be better) hours apart without any GPS usage in between.

In doing so, I find that qgps has no effect, and a cold fix still takes me 3 minutes from the same location with or without the app...
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Heijdemann:
I agree with you notice the same here, no effect.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] chiman:
Same for me. I've tried it after a softreset but fix time is not improved.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Noony:
Same here tried it - but no effect
[P3600 Software Upgrading] DikkeDoei:
Possible explanation to the above

Apart from people experiencing the placebo effect (:P) the following theory might clarify the confusion:

The program features A-GPS (assisted GPS) which needs to be supported by both the integrated chipset (Sirf III and GPS-one (Qualcomm)) and the mobile network. In most countries A-GPS is not (yet?) supported by mobile operators. I know Orange is maintaining SUPL servers in some countries, and reportedly mobile operators in Sweden and Switzerland are ahead.

Aren't the most clear improvements reported above stated by Swiss members (some of which) using Orange?

I think that's the clue: the Trinity has Qualcomm GPS-One integrated (part of its MSM6275 chipset) which supports A-GPS but only benefits from it where mobile operators support A-GPS.

By the way: the A-GPS functionality can be enabled by register as well, and does not need a separate program at all.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] MacGuy2006:
Did a quick search, but did not find it. Anyone can point to the hack, or just tell?

With the registry hack, does it poll constantly to establish position, and if so, how much does battery life suffer?

Thanks.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] YYYYY:
Yeah, where can I find the registry hack?Nothing to see in the registry about agps
[P3600 Software Upgrading] psargent:
Guys, this program (qgps) has nothing to do with A-GPS! It is the same type of program found on the P3300 that (as has been said before in this thread) downloads ephemeris GPS data for use by the receiver to reduce TTF. Here is an excerpt from a more detailed post I put in another thread that has nearly the same subject:

------------------------------

A-GPS is a service provider dependent and subscription based ($$$) information source that provides data on the position of the GPS satellites that will "assist" the low sensitivity GPS receivers housed in some phones that are far less expensive than our black (or white) beauties. I am quite certain that the Moto Razr doesn't have a Sirf or a Qualcomm GPS-one chipset! Verizon VZ-Navigator is a prime example of such a service.

QGPS has nothing to do with A-GPS. It is simply a program that performs a single download of the most up-to-date data on satellite positions from the internet and uses it to help the GPS receiver reduce TTF. It must be updated about once every 2 days to be of any help. A-GPS, on the other hand, communicates continuously with the "assistance server" through a cellular network (again...$$$) to share the processing load in tracking the GPS sats. Thus, weaker (and less expensive) GPS receivers can be used in the phones which are equipped with A-GPS. Here's an excerpt from the Wikipedia:

"A-GPS differs from regular GPS by adding another element to the equation, the Assistance Server. In regular GPS networks there are only GPS satellites and GPS receivers. In A-GPS networks, the receiver, being limited in processing power and normally under less than ideal locations for position fixing, communicates with the assistance server that has high processing power and access to a reference network. Since the A-GPS receiver and the Assistance Server share tasks, the process is quicker and more efficient than regular GPS, albeit dependent on cellular coverage."

-------------------------

So let's put this puppy to bed. QGPS doesn't work on the Trinity (at least there is no program to date that works for it.) And unless your subscribe to your wireless provider's A-GPS service and somehow enable it on your trinity, you are not getting a faster fix that way either.

Let's just enjoy the fact that we have the capability at all...it wasn't that long ago that GPS on the trinity was only a vague rumor on the net. Silver lining, people...silver lining!!! ;)

I want more info on ur device....then maybe I can suggest u somthing

What is the recovery ?

twrp
[LG G Flex] navi dl:
Simple get the app called twrp manager (root) download it from playstore..press a option button then boot options then chose boot into recovery
[LG G Flex] noky76:
I bricked the phone so the only thing is to get into recovery. but the combo keys doesn't work
[LG G Flex] 23bobbyg:
If your recovery is TWRP, hold down the power key to turn the phone off, once it is off QUICKLY hold down the Vol up key ALONG WITH the power key, once the LG LOGO appears QUICKLY release the vol up key.

This should get you into recovery
[LG G Flex] noky76:
volume up? I have read in several guides that It must be pressed volume down for recovery and up for download mode..
[LG G Flex] 23bobbyg:
Once I flashed my LG Flex with TWRP I access it through the Vol Up and Power instead of Vol Down. GIve it a try, what can it hurt?
[LG G Flex] noky76:
with volume up I get into hardware key control mode..:(
[LG G Flex] dmifsud44:
What model/ swv
[LG G Flex] Murshad007:
I Also can't get into Recovery Mode...
[LG G Flex] Claudio67:
If you have twrp installed you should power off the phone, then press Vol- and power until the lg logo appear, then release vol- and power and press quickly both Vol- and Vol+.

Then should appear a factory reset dialog; if you press yes then you will be redirected to the recovery.

LGL23 directions?
[LG G Flex] Ickyz:
Correct

There correct Hold buttons like you were told and you should access what you want

But honestly if you are BRICK'D just hold the VOL UP well attaching USB and go into DOWNLOAD MODE and reflash totally stock

Another way worked for me was to just flash a ROM , this gave me access To total phone ( Also DELETED my EFS FILE (Make sure you BACKUP YOUR EFS FOLDER) may not be correct Carrier but its a start

Now go enter DL MODE and u'll need the DLL File for the ROM you flashed so LGTOOLS picks up phone 2 be flashed use CORRECT DLL and the C O R R E C T TOT or KDZ file and reflash stock

The closest you'll get to AOSP on this phone -- and it's very close -- is through Cyanogenmod and derivative ROMs. I've read that losing Sony's DRM keys results in a few changes (see thread). The big question is will you lose and miss those features. Secondly, will Cyanogenmod ever release a stable version for this model. Currently,

I love AOSP for its speed, efficiency, and UI but I'm bummed to lose stability and camera quality. That's the tradeoff will almost all the Android phones right now though. Those Nexus phones have a great update policy.
