WPS & Wifi Passwords

As a courtesy when referring to some apps maybe you could include a link so we don't have to run a search to find them?

If some apps are not Pie compatible, it's not LineageOS's fault.

Where did you get those apps from? Sometimes badly cracked apps will close

I just tried Wifi Password(ROOT) and WiFi Password Recovery (root) from the Play Store & both don't work in LineageOS 16.0.

I happened to want to backup my Wifi passwords before a super clean install just in case the Google Backup could not restore them, which it did, and all the > Settings > Network & internet > Wi-Fi > Saved network & their passwords are in /data/misc/wifi/WifiConfigStore.xml so if rooted copy that file & open w/ a text editor. I copied to computer & opened with WordPad. Search for PreSharedKey.

"...for example wps connect" - WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is deprecated in Pie AFAIK. See WPS Settings in Pie & LineageOS 16.0

Hi. I'm finding Whatsapp mic volume too low (for audio messages). Is there a way to raise the mic volume?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] dcarvil:
The only way I know to raise mic volume is edit mixer_paths.xml. See https://xdaforums.com/general/general/guide-technical-explanation-boost-t3202087 for a general explanation. You can also search xda-developers for S5 specific information. Most of these deal with raising the volume for phone calls though.

WhatsApp Low Mic, Playback Volume Quirk & Tests

This bug was present in LineageOS 15.1 also so I'm pasting some parts of a post made in the 15.1 thread. It's not possible to report it in the LineageOS bug tracker as the devs will invalidate the report and say they don't support third party apps even if it may be related to the S5's mixer paths that this app uses.

Go through this checklist to troubleshoot:

Playing back my own Voice Notes in WhatsApp, the volume out of the phone's speaker is low but when sent to a spare phone with it's on WhatsApp account the playback volume is fine on that phone. So it's not a mic problem in my case.

Playback volume of my Voice Notes in WhatsApp is louder through earbuds or headset even if those recording were made with the phone's mic & not with the earbuds' mic.

Playback volume of received Voice Notes from other users is fine.

Playback volume in WhatsApp of videos I made are fine as well as mic level during video calls.

Recordings made with the stock LineageOS Recorder & 2 other third-party recording apps are fine so it's not a mic problem.

Mic level during phone calls is fine.

Try this: install the free RecForge. BTW the RecForge FAQ is informative.

Then record a note in WhatsApp and using a file explorer navigate to internal sdcard/WhatsApp > Media > WhatsApp Voice Notes > scroll down to the most recent folder which is the one with the highest number & play the most recent recording with RecForge or with the stock Music app.

Is it louder then when played in WhatsApp like it is for me?

Note that the LineageOS stock Files explorer did not offer to open the WhatsApp's .opus sound files in the Music app but a third-party file explorer did.

You can test the S5's two microphones (little holes next to USB port & top one next to the IR blaster) one after the other in RecForge > Settings > Source > Front Microphone or Back Microphone which is the top one in fact. Easy Voice Recorder has similar options as seen in the screenshots.

As a workaround if the WhatsApp tests above failed: the recordings made in RecForge or Easy Voice Recorder can be shared to WhatsApp and both have mic gain & other settings adjustments. In Easy Voice Recorder you can also select the mic of a Bluetooth headset.

I just redid those tests on S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0 klte build 2019-04-02 + Open GApps Pico + LineageOS Addonsu w/ the same results as when running LineageOS 15.1 on that same phone.

***

Yes the OP of that thread is quite informative but the correct path on Galaxy S5 LineageOS 15.1 & 16.0 is: /system/vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml

The 2 recording apps linked above have mic gain settings.

Check this post with links to 2 custom TWRP flashable mixer_paths.xml for the S5 and a doc comparing their mods & attached to it is a flashable stock S5 mixer_paths.xml to go back easily: Low Mic When Making Calls?

These work for people without root because they can't modify mixer_paths.xml.

As described in the post, the mic's mixer path used by WhatsApp is not always the same as when using other apps.

Please report back if you fixed your problem or not. :cool:

Surely an unnecessarily caustic comment, but thank you anyway for pointing me in the right direction.

Bug

Formatting SD card to be used as internal storage is supper buggy. Widgets do not appear, and settings are reset each time the phone restarts as the SD card takes a few seconds to be detected. [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] [MENTION=4122877]curiousrom[/MENTION]

This was after a super clean install. Flashed factory firmware and .pit with Odin, unlocked boot loader, formatted everything, advanced erased, then installed, then restored efs to a backup made of a rooted-stock "QL1" 6.0.1 efs partition.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
For all sorts of reasons, adopted storage is a bad idea, even at the best of times. It'll end in tears. It sounds like your SD-Card is just slow.

---------- Post added at 02:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 AM ----------

FWIW, there has been a long standing issue (v14, I think) where the S5 cannot not get a fix using GLONASS, although I recall that they were detected, but this issue appears different.

Edit: Definitely check your Baseband version. Seems to be OK on 900F inc Beidou, apart from my previous comment.

GLONASS and BeiDou no longer working since LineageOS 14.1

[MENTION=7372760]NeuesS5[/MENTION] this is not only the case for you but also for other users having a phone with same old chipset (e.g. OnePlus One) on "newer" versions of Android. This bug/problem/wontfix topic has been around for more than two years starting with of LineageOS 14.1 and was reported multiple times on jira.lineageos.org:

[BUGBASH-383] No GLONASS or BEIDOU fix - LineageOS JIRA

[BUGBASH-1750] GPS - LineageOS JIRA

[BUGBASH-458] No GLONASS fix - LineageOS JIRA

[REGRESSION-295] No GLONASS or BEIDOU fix - LineageOS JIRA

[REGRESSION-633] GPS does not recognize GLONASS and BEIDU - LineageOS JIRA

All the links above were working in November 2018. In the meantime LineageOS seems to have turned off Jira and switched to GitLab issues without importing the DB.

When you search the Galaxy S5 and OnePlus One forums for the keyword GLONASS you will find loads of post regarding this topic:

The issue is also discussed on reddit.

As only GPS is used for obtaining a (position) fix, the initial time it takes to do so has as noticeably increased way back when the corresponding Android version for our device was released.

The reason why the problem is not solved seems to be the difficulty of this task and/or the required working hours for fixing a problem for an old phone model (chipset) with fewer and fewer users :(

[MENTION=4122877]curiousrom[/MENTION] If you take a closer look at the squares with the satellite number below each bar, you will notice a subtle difference between the two screenshots: the squares for the GPS satellites have a white background color (filled with white) whereas the squares for GLONASS as well as for BeiDou are transparent (no color fill). The background color indicates if the respective satellite is actually contributing to the fix (signal strong enough). Your case (GPS screenshot) is a somewhat uncommon case where all satellites contribute to the fix. In my area, especially when in the city between buildings, there are several satellites which are barely visible and have a low SNR (visualized as low orange or red bar in you GPS Test app example). This means that also in your case GLONASS satellites are visible but they can't be used for calculating the fix.

Re: GPS and GLONASS Fix S5 LineageOS 16.0

Thanks :good: for the additional info. Follow-up to this post: Re: GPS and GLONASS S5 16.0.

You got a recent modem on your S5 G900F which is good. "Lineage OS 16.0 2019 03 27" check build 2019-04-05 or newer which has several valuable changes: https://download.lineageos.org/klte/changes/

You guys are using an old app AndroiTS GPS Test Free which was last updated on 2016-08-05 and was removed from Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androits.gps.test.free and does not have a satellite filter option like GPS Test by Chartcross last updated on October 5, 2018 @ the present with 10 million+ installs & 64,000+ reviews @ 4 stars+.

I just redid the test as described in Re: GPS and GLONASS S5 16.0 and you can clearly see the GLONASS satellites & position FIX.

Now if in your region there are not enough GLONASS satellites with a strong signal to get a fix then it's not the S5's fault. Maybe some newer devices can capture weaker signals but hey, what can you do about it.

Edit: - I sent this question to GPS Test by Chartcross support, let's see if I get a reply: Hello, does the "satellite filter" just changes which satellites are displayed or also which satellites are used to acquire a fix?

***

In the last 2 screenshots which are of AndroiTS GPS Test, in the first one it's obvious that it sees the Russian satellites. Now if the app or the S5's firmware prefers to use the GPS satellites because they have a stronger signal, there is no settings to force it to use only the GLONASS satellites.

The last screenshot is the first message that pops up when starting AndroiTS GPS Test for the first time: "This app was built for an older version of Android and may not work properly...". ;)

Re: GPS and GLONASS Fix S5 LineageOS 16.0

Ah lazy people not linking to the app they screenshot. ;)

I tried your SatStat - F-Droid & the legend says turquoise is for satellites used in fix. All are GPS as seen in the screenshot like AndroiTS GPS Test reports.

Clean app, only downside is no legend for the type of satellites in the sky view.

In the European GNSS Agency (GSA) Test your Android device’s satellite navigation performance page they recommend GPSTest by barbeauDev (Play Store) & also in F-Droid. The app have a GPSTest Google Group and https://github.com/barbeau/gpstest .

Edit: If you share your location with that app, the link it sends opens a page with a bunch of interesting links related to your location.

Similar to AndroiTS GPS Test there are icons identifying the type of satellite & it also shows which ones are used for Fix like the U flag in the list.

So sorry [MENTION=7372760]NeuesS5[/MENTION] & [MENTION=9661306]wireroot[/MENTION] for the post above as it looks like while old AndroiTS GPS Test seems to work properly on 16.0 @ the present

Final attachment is GPS Test by Chartcross with all satellites enabled. Interestingly it shows 2 SBAS (Satellite-based augmentation systems) in use while they are shown in view in SatStat but not used for Fix. GPSTest show one SBAS.

GLONASS and BeiDou no longer contribute to fix since LineageOS 14.1 (though still vis

Since you, [MENTION=4122877]curiousrom[/MENTION], quoted me and wrote "you guys" I have to reply stating that I'm not using AndroiTS GPS Test Free but GPS Test by Chartcross.

I do not even know this app, did not post any screenshot but was just referring in my post to the screenshots uploaded by you.

[MENTION=4122877]curiousrom[/MENTION]: I did already answer this question in my previous post. In case it was too exhaustive, here is the short version:

GLONASS and BeiDou no longer contribute to GNSS fix on Galaxy S5 for LineageOS >= 14.1

GPS Test by Chartcross: squares containing numbers (positioned below color bars) indicate if they contribute to fix

white background: respective satellite contributes to fix (respective GNSS fully supported by OS and signal strong enough)

transparent background: respective satellite does not contribute to fix (respective GNSS not fully supported by OS or signal too weak)

Examples:

Take a closer look at the GLONASS screenshot posted by you:

all squares have a transparent background

no GLONASS satellite contributes to fix even though the SNR is quite good

either the searching phase was too short (GNSS was just enabled or being started/triggered by an app) (possible, but not true for your case) or the respective GNSS (in this case GLONASS) is no longer fully supported by the OS (more likely based on the fact that we are talking about SGS5 + LOS 16.0)

Now compare it to your other screenshot mainly showing GPS satellites:

for bars with a high SNR, which are (not by chance) all GPS satellites, the corresponding squares below the respective bar have a white background

the SBAS stations are obviously not contributing to fix (low/zero SNR) -> square has transparent background

Before making the posts above I checked the GPS Test by Chartcross Play Store page > website which links to a stupid Facebook page & searched high & low for a user guide or FAQ page to no avail.

After taking the time to read your second post as I just skimmed the first one, what I should have done in the first place: GPS Test by Chartcross > 3-dots > Help > Satellite Signal View > "...the satellite signal graph, it shows a bar for each satellite in view. The number beneath the bar is the satellite number (if the number colors are inverted the satellite is used in calculating the positional fix)…".

Yes sir, you are right on the money! :good:

The Samsung logo like in the attachment is the bootloader (named aboot in the S5) logo. With the S5 off & connected, a long press of the power button will reboot in the bootloader mode then back in the charging offline mode. That's on my S5 G900M.

For those interested here is a technical article in LineageOS.org > Engineering > Qualcomm’s Chain of Trust with lots of technical details about the boot sequence.
