hello all, I'm really new to rooting and I'd like it if you could help me out here, this is about trying to get a CWM working on the smartphone p500. It's a new phone, I just put in the battery out of the package.

okay, so I've just rooted my p500 (root checker said it was indeed rooted), and I'm at a loss here. no matter what I try, I can't get CWM working. the first step I took was to try it via Rom manager. It got stuck at 100 % download, roughly the same problem as in this post

So I tried to get twrp, and got to this tutorial. I tried to put in the command "adb reboot bootloader". It appears as though this just shut down my phone, which would then display a "charging" symbole, since it's still charching via the USB. After putting in the next command; "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img", the command prompt returns "waiting for device", leading me to believe the phone has just shut down.

I tried to search the internet for another way to get in fastboot mode, but all I could find were threads about unbricking the p500 *after* booting in to fastboot mode. which should help, once I get there. This appears not to be an option, either.

After some more searching, I came across this post, detailing how to flash a custom recovery mod. Since I'm already rooted, I got as far as part III, step 5. step 6 is rebooting in recovery mode by pressing and holding volume down + home + power button. I've tried this while the phone is off and while it is on, but all it does is rebooting. Then, in this post, I read you need a custom recovery in order to boot in recovery mode.

Having come full circle, I've exhausted all my options. l've probable misunderstood several directions, or I have overlooked something fairly obvious. Can anyone help me?

My area code 519. But every incoming call I get shows that it's long distance with a +1 (519) 555-5555.

What am I missing here? I've searched every setting possible. :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stevebonning:
That's normal, .the phone automatically adds it. +1 is the U.S. Country Code. It's not necessary to dial it while in the states, but if you were outside the U.S. and wanted to call home you would dial +1 then your phone number.

Hi,

This is a guide on compiling iPerf3 for the Zenfone 2 (x86-64 architecture). iPerf3 is a tool for active measurements of the maximum achievable bandwidth on IP networks. It supports tuning of various parameters related to timing, buffers and protocols (TCP, UDP, SCTP with IPv4 and IPv6). For each test it reports the bandwidth, loss, and other parameters.

Requirements :-

1) A recent Linux distro (I use Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS) running x86-64.

2) Development tools i.e. C compiler, linker, etc... all the necessary tools to run configure, make, etc..

3) iPerf3 source code - latest as of this post is 3.0.11.

4) Small patch to source code to make it work on Android. iperf-3.0.11-android-patch.

Steps :-

(1) Extract the source code to a directory of its own :-

tar xzf iperf-3.0.11-source.tar.gz
cd iperf-3.0.11

(2) Patch the source :-

patch -p1 < ../iperf-3.0.11-android-patch

(3) Run configure :-

./configure

(4) Run make :-

make

(5) If all goes well, you will end up with a dynamically linked binary which is not what we want on the Android device. We will have to delete this and build a statically linked binary.

rm src/iperf3

(6) Edit src/Makefile and look for the line :-

iperf3_CFLAGS = -g

and replace it with :-

iperf3_CFLAGS = -g -all-static

(7) Now, run make again for the final time :-

make

(8) Strip the binary & verify it is a static binary :-

strip src/iperf3
file src/iperf3

That's it! just copy the iperf3 binary file to your Android device and move it to your /system/xbin or whatever directory in your PATH.

Hope it works for you guys. I'll be happy to help out anyone who needs more details.

Cheers.

UPDATE 2015-08-12 :

Here's a link to a precompiled & stripped binary. https://goo.gl/Q1l1yh
[ZenFone 2 General] harpreet.s:
Can you please share binary file. I don't have development enviroment.

Compile 3.1.7, 3.2 and 3.3 for Android

Hi there,

I am new to Android Development. I have a need to compile iPerf 3.1.7, 3.2 and 3.3 for android. I see that a patch file is required in the reading here. Could you elaborate perhaps on what the patch does? I assume i will need to create something similar for 3.1.7, 3.2 and 3.3. Any help would be much appreciated thanks.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IgottaT/A:
Hey guys, I hope I'm in the right forum here. I FINALLY got myself a NOTE 4 and I love it. But something caught my eye the other day. My fiancé has a Note as well (AT&T) and whenever she gets a call; she can put her call on hold and then go back to it when she's done. It's like she gets an extra step that we don’t on our phone. I was wondering if anyone had ever tried porting a stock TouchWiz contact dialer from an AT&T/T-Mobile Note 4 over to a Sprint Note 4? Again sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but that little detail seemed kool to me and even though I searched for it, I couldn't find a dialer apk files anywhere. Then again, I don't know if it's even possible. Any help/guidance would be much appreciated, Thanx.

Happy stock user here using only official Sony upgrades (non rooted) on my Z3C. 5.1.1 arrived 3 days ago, I did a factory reset after the upgrade and woah, suddenly I have no more clean GPS locks anymore. It was working perfectly and now it locks in about 5% of all attempts and even then loses fix in a minute or so.

Tried to search around, clean agps data, refresh agps data, double check location services and what not, nothing helped so far. I just arrived to Greece with my family for vacation and had to find our apartment with a paper map - a pretty amusing experience anyway, not counting my wife's harsh comments..

Should anyone have an idea to counter this problem, it's most welcome. Should anyone have a similar experience with the 5.1.1 upgrade, this would be comforting at least.. :)

Thanks and enjoy an otherwise brilliant smooth upgrade!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
I seem to experience this as well. I regularly check the weather (several times per day) and I can hardly find my position, so I'll have to resort to manually type in my location (which doesn't provide me with the precise location prognose that I'm looking for).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ja-ki:
same here, 1weather really struggles to locate my phone
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjozsa:
Just by chance, are you also EU users? I thought maybe the 5.1.1 update defaults to some US settings and this might cause the problem.

What I tried already and did not help (to save you some time):

- removed Google backup and do another factory reset to avoid restoring some backed up settings which might be the cause

- various gps apps from play store which claim to fix/reset gps, with or without rebooting between attempts

- resetting gps settings from the service menu accessible via codes from the dialler

I'll also try to achieve root and install custom rooms from xda once I'm back from my holiday (assuming that I'll find the airport with a paper map :))

Your GPS hardware might be broken...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjozsa:
Do you think yours is broken as well? Would there be a way to get certain about it?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Mine isn't broken, I can still get locks. It just takes it sweet time most of the time.

Yes, go into the settings, then location and enable "device only" (only gps). Then try to get a lock somewhere. If that doesn't work, then your GPS is broken.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjozsa:
See the attachment.. it seems I can get a lock too! It happened after 10-12 minutes of searching after clearing A-GPS data and after 5-10 seconds (!) it loses it and often also falls back to having exactly 0 satellites in both "in view" and "in use" (as if turning GPS off completely and restarting seeking from scratch).

I assume it's rather a software than a hardware problem then, or..?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tebra:
I have a similar problem with andosm app. If I let the app open on the background with my screen off, when I turn the screen on I have a precise location with 5 to 10 GPS fix but 5 seconds later the GPS fix drop to 0 and have to wait 30 second to get my location back.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheV:
After upgrading to 5.1.1 my GPS stopped working. I was unable to obtain a lock in Google Maps (as well as the Service Menu).

I downgraded to 5.0.2 but the situation did not improve.

I ended up sending my phone in for repairs (under warranty). So far the seller has confirmed that the "GPS is not functioning as expected" and has sent it to the repair centre.

Hopefully I'll get it back with a working GPS eventually!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliebigpot:
Have you tried with kk before updating to lp again? If it doesn't work there either it might be hardware related.

No, I did not - I was in a rush unfortunately.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phildudson:
I have had the exact same issue since upgrading to 5.1.1. I was convinced my GPS hardware was broken as I had tried all of the possible fixes I could think of (a-gps clearing / factory reset etc etc), I have sent mine for repair under my insurance policy, but they have already sent it back once without being able to fix. I too am getting GPS fix eventually, but it is very weak and I lose lock after 5-10 seconds, especially when in motion (in a car).

I am hoping this time that they just replace the phone. Will reply here if that resolves the issue.

Would be interesting to see if anyone was able to resolve this through rooting/custom ROM...

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

Also it looks like there are others that are having the same issues (possibly since before 5.1.1 as well):

I cant post the url, but there is a forum on the sony website if you google for it.

it seems strange that this doesn't seem to affect everyone...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjozsa:
I'm not sure how it is for others but I most often get a fix now in a few minutes (without changing anything on the software or hardware side!) and it's so-so stable, losing it only 1-2 times per minute ;) So it's very far from perfect but much better than a month ago..

I would _love_ to know what the hell is going on here. If nothing changed on my phone's side, I'm about to believe that it's a central issue..

Same issue here: Xperia Compact Z1

Upgraded last week and had no GPS since. GPS test receives no lock

Am running stock rom - Upgraded from 5.0.4 (i think) to 5.1.1

This is definitely 5.1.1 as had no issues before this. Bit worried that downgrading isn't helping anyone.. going to do some more digging and see if there is any fix for my out of warranty handset

no more sony again !!

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playagiron:
My GPS also stopped working some month ago, possibly after upgrading though not sure.

I sent it for repair and they quoted 160EUR for replacing the main board plus no guarantee that it would work afterwards (they claimed due to a fall of the phone warranty did not cover repairing anymore).

Now I can see after 1-5min some signal and it seems to get 1-4 sattelites if I wait 5min, so the hardware does not seem to be broken, but no stable fix.

This is really bad especially as it seems ot be a bit common. Maybe 6.0 might bring it back??!

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phildudson:
Hello,

I have tried pretty much everything I can SW and rom related to try and fix this, to no avail. The only resolution I have seen for this is someone taking the back off the phone and soldering a wire from the GPS module along the back of the battery to act as an external antenna.

For info, I have tried downgrading to Kitkat, all versions of Lollipop and I am currently running the Marshmellow concept ROM. None returned my GPS.

Apologies for the bad news but I am not sure there is a straightforward fix for this apart from sending off for repair (new motherboard)/manual soldering job.

Similar problem. After updating ROM my gps reception very weak. Still good and usable, but not so good reception like before. Before reception was very good, even in my room gps fix. Now GPS Works maybe on 60 %. very strange.

Defenitely all 200 ROMs have better reception then 232 ROMs. Igo get GPS fix after 10-15 sec. But sometimes lose GPS signal. Igo next gen work 100 percents ok.

I had trouble getting fix a while back but it was already running 5.1.1 for a while before it happened, not sure if the Sony update is actually the cause. Sent it back to Sony and they replaced the main board and antenna (under warranty). Not sure if this was due to the update or some other reasons, but definitely never had GPS issues with other phones before.

Tried rooting and installing custom rom before sending in to Sony, did not work. Also, initially Sony just replaced the antenna without testing the phone and I still had the same problem, was only after the second time that they replaced the main board and the problem is now fixed.

I just fixed this issue on my phone yesterday. This is what I posted on the Sony forums.

Just thought I'd pop in here and suggest a solution.

I've had this problem on my Z3c for a while (as well as no wifi or bluetooth). My device is well out of warranty. I received a RMA number last week to send it in in hopes that it would be an affordable fix. I was getting it ready to send out today and decided to try a couple more things.

As others have said, I went in to the diagnostics and test the WiFi (passed) Bluetooth (passed) and GPS (failed). I then decided to test WiFi and Bluetooth a couple more times to see if it would eventually fail. It never did. After that, I went to turn WiFi on manually and to my suprise.... it turned on! Bluetooth and GPS were also magically working.

Before this I had tried numerous factory resets, diferent android versions, different roms (without unlocking the bootloader) with no success. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but hopefully it can work for some of you!
