As far as I know Ultimate Kernel v13 was one of the last (and only) KitKat kernel for our N910C. But smoothness and battery life got worse after I've flashed this one so it might be better to stay with the stock kernel.

so he was on 4.1.2 with locked bootloader..

he rooted via kingsroot..

then he installed cwm via http://xdaforums.com/xperia-s/s-development/install-recovery-pconly-rooted-device-t2877774 this method...

then his went to cwm ...n flashed cm-11-20150425-UNOFFICIAL-XperiaOverlay-nozomi

and clicked on reboot...

now his cell is not getting on... he was on 19% battery while he flashed...

now-

1) while on connected to charger n pressing vol+, blue light gets on...

and with vol-, green light gets on...

2) remove the charger and press powerkey...he feels only 1 vibration...nothing on screen..

3) while connected to charger, pressing powerkey, nothing happens...

4) while on charger...pressing vol+ and powerkey he feels 3 vibrations...

ps= has usb issues so cant connect to flashtool etc..

any hope?

thanks!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
You just flashed a ROM that needs unlocked bootloader over a locked bootloader phone. You are lucky that it didn't hard brick Your phone. But now unless You are able to connect the phone to PC, You won't be able to recover, since stock FTF needs to be flashed via flashmode. So in short, You need to repair Your USB slot or the motherboard. Are You sure it's an motherboard issue? Could be a driver issue too.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ChaTy:
service center guy told him to replace motherboard for 12k! he dopped that plan and now he has given it to a local shop of his friend who says its n usb slot issue and can b solved.. letsc what happens!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Hi everybody,

Not sure if anyone frequents this anymore but I have started a project set to replace the npe GPS vendor blob of the i9300. This is so that the android/bionic patch will no longer be required and we can push for CM and other official rom support from Lollipop upwards.

The nexus 7 (Grouper) has the same GPS chipset as we do on the i9300 (BCM47511 ) and the blobs are PIE, so a straight swap should be easy.

Turns out not quite the case, I have got it so that the phone can find satellites, a little bit slow, but finds them nonetheless. However I can't get it to fix on them yet.

If people are interested in this project I will post up, what I have done and any logs etc I have gathered. I can't say for sure but I imagine that the solution for the i9300 would be very similar to that of the Samsung Note N7000 as well, if any devs from there are interested.

Hello devs

I'm looking for a script or zip to flash on my I9300 for a ROM where the GPS not working! Is this the solution here?

And how to implement the script you made? I'm not a technical Ingenieur :D:):) thanks for your kind answer
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
This is not the solution as it isn't a flashable zip. It also more than likely doesn't contain the relevant code you require. What rom are you using? Perhaps I could help the Dev?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thechosenone43:
Thanks for quick responding :D

The 2 ROMs I was using been Dirty Unicorn 5.1 and Validus 5.1 ROM where the GPS not working! I think Andrea Turchet is the developer from both of the ROMs. I asked the Developer for a fix but nothing happened since them. I think they stopped working on DU already since the I9300 comes @ his ages :rolleyes:

Maybe you can get in touch with the devs and find a solution?

Thanks in advance :thumbup::)

Hi [MENTION=4901061]mcgi5sr2[/MENTION]

I'm running the official CM13 nightlies (by [MENTION=5405215]forkbomb444[/MENTION]) on my i9300, and I've got a problem with the GPS. I can see satelittes and get a fix, but it drops every minute or two.

I posted about the problem here but I've been trying to investigate further so I wanted to see if I could use older copies of gpsd, gps.exynos4.so and libsecril-client.so to see whether that would "fix" the problem - that idea lead me to this commit which in turn lead me to this thread.

Do you know whether I can easily downgrade these blobs on my i9300 CM13? (I can find them easily enough, but I notice that the filenames have changed - I don't understand the android gps subsystem architecture to know what to do next).

Alternatively (since this is not my daily driver phone), I can install the original haxynox AOSP Rom to see whether this has the same problem.

Any pointers/assistance to help me to investigate this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Jaime
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Hi,

I have stopped development, but can relate to the issue you have mentioned. The grouper blobs are even older than the S3 blobs but were PIE and thus functioned on M where PIE blobs were required. They also lacked some of the functionality that native Samsung blobs had built in. All of this was a sacrifice to get GPS working on M. So going back to older blobs won't help. I haven't checked but perhaps newer Grouper blobs if they exist would help.

Hello XDA-Developers Community,

today I want to show you my unofficial Linguee app.

I made this app as I think the official Linguee app looks horrible and supports only one language pair.

This app offers the following:

- auto suggestions

- material design

- more language pairs than the official app

- no tracking (the official app sends all requests with an unique id)

The device would basically need a scanner built into the display screen, which I've never seen on any consumer PDA/Phones. I guess they could put it on the back panel of the device where there's a bunch of blank space, but having both the display and the scanner on the same panel would be a neat trick. If anyone finds something that actually does have both, please post a link :)

New to the forums (and to Android for the most part) with my first non-classmade app. I made a soundboard for the game The Last of Us. Trying to get some android exposure for resume building and to continue development for apps. Link for the app. You can just search for southardsoftware to find the app (it won't let me post yet). Sorry I am a complete newb to the forum here.

What it does - pretty obvious for the most part - a user can set a ringtone, notification, or alarm to the various quotes from the game I included in the app, or just play them. I did it as a project inbetween classes to learn more about android, and pay homage to one of my favorite video games of all time. Please feel free to let me know what you think!

Why don't you just head over to Google Play store, then download and install TB from there?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.loverlover:
There are 2 ways. First you make a flashable zip. It's funny that you don't know how to do that, if you've already did that, but the method is to drag&drop the APK into proper folder. However remember that before doing that it should have the exact same name as the older version. And don't try to rename it in the zip later, because the zip won't be flashable anymore.

2nd method is you uninstall old titanium Backup and install a new one.

is there a way to download paid apps as they are? without cracking, without breaking laws or anything like that?

i just need the current apk for a target app, but i need it in its original state. usually they have payment authentication methods in it, there will be no problem with its legallity considering I did not paid for it, I will have no right to use it, so it won't run properly, therefore will not hurt anyone.

the idea is to check versions, manifest, package, etc.

is it possible?

Hi Guys,

I am in the market for a smartwatch, which is sleek enough to wear every day as a smart watch, but also I can use to cycle and use for navigation with GPS.

I am looking at the Sony Smartwatch 3 as it looks quite nice and has built in GPS.

However, there are more stylish looking watches I like the look of from the likes of Asus, LG and Moto.

So... Is it possible to use the GPS on my phone which will be in my pocket, and use the watch for instant navigation instructions?

I am thinking about apps such as Ghostracer for GPX files for example

Thanks in advance!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nstefanelli:
just wondering... why would you want to force roaming?

-Nstefanelli-
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nitecapt:
Why force roaming?

I'm in an area where I pop in and out of roaming areas. What happens is that I will get what ATT calls "dead spots" where the call is not dropped but sometimes will resume after about a minute or two of silence. Sometimes it will drop. I think that this is ATT's way of tallying minutes. They refuse to call themn dropped calls. When I had Verizon not only did I have perfect reception on the same route (noe I lose the call 3-4 times) but if a call dropped it dropped immediately, not after 2 minutes. In any case, force roaming may get me to drop (or get dead zones) on fewer calls. Also, they don't like roamers, if I eventually want to drop the service they are more likely going to make an exception when I have been freely roaming (which costs them money).

NOW I wonder who can tell me how to do this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Doom Tints:
My suggestion would be to not chat constantly while driving.

Also note that roaming will cost you money, not just AT&T. Truth be told, it likely won't cost AT&T anything at all (providers have agreements on this sort of thing) but will certainly end up costing you a lot in roaming charges.

In any case, it seems unlikely to me that you are saying anything important enough to where you need to be use the phone while driving 100% of the time.

If you're looking for other suggestions, try a booster antenna for your car. There's a nice little antenna port on the back of the 8525 just for this purpose.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nitecapt:
I don't understand the response?

My question was "How do you force roaming?" What I got was a commentary on when I should use my phone and what it will cost.

Can anyone who is capable please answer the question? I really don't need to be coached on the appropriate time to use the phone.

An answer confined to the parameters of the question would be appreciated.

Thank you

try changing radio versions

I've had great success with different radio ROMs as far as getting coverage in an area that I previously had none.

I tried the 1.48 radio rom and it made things worse (no coverage inside buildings) but went back to 1.47 and all is golden...

No sure about forcing a roam but this might be better
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pcm2a:
Doesn't help you much, but the guy talking about roaming charges is off by 100%. I have spent days roaming on other carriers networks where ATT had no service and it didn't cost me a cent. Don't all ATT plans come with no roaming charges these days?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stevebonning:
Nitecap;

Different radio ROMs have different effects on the phone; usually a trade off between reception and battery life; in other words, 1 ROM may get you a stronger signal but shorter battery life, while another may do the opposite. It's all a matter of trial and error--try a few and see which works best for you in that area that you're driving in.

check out the Upgrading forums for Radio information... various radio versions seem to do better with different providers and also the area you're in. They also affect battery life to a degree. Since you're AT&T I'd start with 1.48, or 1.40

Cingular network (enforced by the SIM) does not allow manual network selection. When you are actually roaming, as in a foreign country, the manual network search will appear in the phone settings.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kommode:
I did find an option in some versions of the "advance settings" (kaiser tweaks) that is titled:

CPHS override (specifies whether the CPHS operator name (the operator name stored in the SIM) overrides all other stored operator names.)

by deafult with my current ROM it was disabled. I enabled it and then disabled it and I tried forcing my phone to connect to AT&T's freqencies instead of T-Mobile's. No luck. :(

maybe the solution is/can be related to this feature or a combination of this feature and something else?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mordrukk:
I noticed today that my phone has maintained a 100% charge, even hours after being unplugged. I tried rebooting, but that didn't fix it. I tried to boot into recovery (I have TWRP) to see if I can wipe battery stats, but once I selected recovery, an empty battery icon appeared and the phone shut off. I tried to boot up normally again, and the phone crashed outright during the boot animation and shut off.

After a minute the phone started up by itself, and went through optimizing apps (I plugged it into a charger out of curiosity). Now that the phone was able to boot, the battery is at 5% and finally charging again.

Has anyone else had this happen with their N6, or have any idea as to what might cause this? For reference, I'm running the latest stock image (LMY48I), just unlocked, rooted, and with custom recovery.
