I tried the A-GPS Enabled tweak and it caused the GPS never to get a fix.

Although... I have recently hard reset the TD (the thing was bogging down very rapidly, so must have set something wrong somewhere in AC 2.1 + B66 mod) recently and since tried it again.

An app called GeoScout I am evaluating could not get a GPS fix. So I enabled it again to see if that helped. It appeared to and Google Maps would also get a fix, where previously with this option set it would not.

very strange.

Now I have it disabled again and all works very well with GPS fixes in around 10-20 secs max.

So no rhyme or reason to it as far as I can tell now.

Pre hard reset with is enabled - it would fail to get a fix.

Post hard reset it seems it makes no difference.

Have it disabled as this is the default selection.

So TBH I have no idea which is best now :confused:

HTC Diamond is useless for Geocaching. Static Navigation is turned ON and I don't know, how to turn it OFF. I'm using BeeLine GPS and when I stop moving for a while and then start moving, GPS is still showing same place as I stopped, but after cca 50 meters it starts navigating.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] joemax:
Its software controlled so there must be a away to do this... if only one of our excellent devs was into Geocaching :D

What ever Google do with their Maps app seems to work though... its plenty fine when walking around.

Maybe they just read the GPS data more often than other developers do in order to get around this issue ???

i found Vito SmartNavigator - tracklog is working very well. I tried short walk and track was logged fine, speed was about 3 km/h, but i didnt find how to use it with gpx or loc file to use it in geocaching - any idea??? THX
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] doloop:
So i resume what i found around this problem. First my rom is genuine htc 1.96.710.3 wwe. my radio is 1.05.25.bs14.

through htc gps tool 1.1 i've looked a lot to nmea message, and it appears that static navigation is achieved throug the $gpvtg sentence only. $gpvtg tells to software what is current speed and direction. It seems that under 5km/h $gpvtg always report 0km/h and maybe 0°.

BUT: gps coordinates still get updated, and show the gps coordinates slowly moving beecause of position error OR real slow moving of the gps itself. So i guess we have two situations here: some software use $gpvtg to report movementand some don't. The later ones use gps coordinates only and calculate speed and direction themselves. Those software aren't affected by static navigation.

How should we disable static navigation now ?

Let's find the piece of software/driver which compute $gpvtg, because it's there that low speeds get filtered and create static navigation. Does the file gpsdriver.dll contain the string $gpvtg ? then what test on speed should we hack (through disassembling) to prevent driver from filtering low speeds.

Another way to fix static nav is to develop another layer of driver which recompute $gpvtg using gps coordinate. I think of a program listening to gps through com4, computing $gpvtg, then resending it through another com. Then as a user you'll have to choose com5 for pedestrian mode and com4 for car navigation.

Hallo,

durch eine kleine Änderung in der Registry (ich benütze SKTools als

Reg.Editor) wird die Static-Navigation ausgeschaltet:

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\GPSMode

Wert 2 auf 1 ändern. Fertig. Müsste bei folgenden Geräten mit Qualcomm GPS Chipset ebenfalls funktionieren: HTC TyTnII, HTC Touch Cruise and Samsung i780..........

Hopefully this is the sollution :)

2 = AGPS assisted mode along with a few other reg changes. Changing to 1 = No AGPS assistance. It may help with no static nav.

GPS is very good

Hi!

I have just tried my GPS because I could not understand the complaints described in this topic. I have to say that GPS is really good, I get a fix in 10-20 seconds (cold start), or 1-2 seconds (hot start). I use iGo and when I start to walk my position is updated immediately as well as my speed is almost immediately displayed (also if under 5km/h). I do not experience any serious lags either, although, I must admit I have not tried too many GPS devices yet.

I am using:

ROM: Nataly 2.6 ROM

Radio: 1.15.25.14 (which improved GPS reception a GREAT DEAL!!)

Port: COM8

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] minhntp:
Hello everybody.

I just want to share with you guys what I found out.

I've been using custom ROMs and custom kernels for LG V30, and I faced a lot of issues. The most common issue is overheating, especially on charging or using mobile data.

I use Anker's adapter that supports Quick Charge 3.0, and an Anker USB-C to USB-3.0 cable. I use Ampere app to see how the battery is charge.

On custom ROMs, the ampere number (mA) changes every few seconds, jumps up and down with big gap, and the phone gets very hot.

On stock ROM (US99820H) in my case, mA number is very stable. It increases or decreases slowly and doesn't jump up and down. On plugging in, min and max mA are equal. The phone is just a little bit hotter than before plugging in.

So I just wanted to share my own experience with you guys. If you want you phone to last long, use Stock ROMs, disable bloatwares and useless system apps.

I'm going to purchase the battery and change it myself for better battery life. I wanted to change to another phone but for now, this is the best phone for music.

Please discuss if you disagree with me or have a solution for custom ROMs.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
I also felt the same...Though the charging speed on custom roms is higher...in terms of stability of current, Stock Rom is the best.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Navalier:
In terms of stability, I have different results, when I charge using a custom rom the phone tends to stay cool, but when I used the stock rom the phone got a lot hotter then before charging.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
Custom ROMs may not be utilizing QC properly. QC 2.0 has few discrete voltage/current steps, while QC 3.0 has many (200mA increments iirc) designed to strike a balance between charging speed and heat. Maybe it's getting stuck in QC 2.0 mode and the temperature feedback isn't working properly?

You could just use a non-fast-charging wireless charger, if you're only charging up at night. 5v/~1A is pretty much harmless, it's just on the slow side of things.

fyi, battery capacity (as tracked by the charging controller driver, I guess) is stored at sys/class/power_supply/bms/charge_full; it defaults to design capacity until a full charge cycle has been completed* and then I suppose is revised each time the driver tracks less energy has been stored after a complete charge. Cycle count, cell resistance and a couple other things are also stored here. I think all values are persistent until the battery is physically disconnected.

Might be worth doing a full discharge+charge (to 100%, then let it sit for a few hours to saturate) to see if your battery is worn enough to warrant pulling the phone apart. Accubattery does seem to be more or less accurate, so you charge while it's on you can get a real-time idea of how much has gone in.

* a full charge might be from 1% to 100%. It might be from 5% to 100%. Who knows! I've charged from 2% to 100% a couple times and not had cycle_count increase.

Also, if you do go shopping, beware of undersized batteries. I bought an "OE spec" battery a while ago that was obviously thinner and lighter than the original; it weighed some 12.5% less and only took a 3000mah charge, more or less lining up with the reduced weight. The seller was "tele*cell", and I very much doubt they're the only ones pulling this crap. Record the contents of power_supply/bms if they're important to you, too, as they zero out upon battery disconnect.

edit: hmm, thinking about it...bms = Battery Management System? :rolleyes: (not this one specifically, of course)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] daniu:
It is possible that you bought a smaller battery - but you should know that the capacity of Li** batteries increases within the first couple of cycles. Also usually the nominal capacity might be different from the real (typical) capacity. So you would need to meassure a.new original battery against your replacement battery (not take the value LG tells us for.granted)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
Li-po capacity hasn't really gone anywhere in a while, and I wouldn't expect cheap eBay batteries to be using the newest and best chemistry. It was definitely undersize/weight; I attached some pictures.

Because I wanted to be absolutely sure before I called the seller on it, I purposefully ran it four full cycles, then built up another two during normal use. The best capacity that the BMS ever rated it for was 2980mah, while Accubattery put in something like...3060mah once with subsequent charges in the 2900-3000 range.

While I get what you're saying, I find it unlikely that the BMS would set to the expected design capacity if they were using undersize batteries from the factory.

The reason being that at a guess, the battery "fuel gauge" is probably based on capacity_full, which = capacity_full_design until set. With a new phone that isn't charged to 100% (thus setting capacity_full), if using the phone down to 1% you'd risk either a) the phone suddenly shutting down at ~10% or b) overdischarge damage if the battery is actually less than the phone's design capacity.

Kind of a corner case though, I'll admit, since this would only be on the first run.

Last, I submit my own OEM battery for consideration: prior to taking it out, it had accumulated 537 cycles and had a recorded capacity of 2485mah. That's about what I'd expect from a 3300mah battery that was almost certainly used "normally" e.g. discharged daily, charged nightly and left on the tap at full charge for hours on end.

Like you said, though, the only way to know for sure would be testing a new OEM battery, and we've been fresh out of those for a year and a half now. Maybe someone could nab one from one of their newer models and test for science? I already have too many spare lipo cells laying around.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] minhntp:
Do you have sleep problem after changing the battery? After changing the battery, my phone doesn't go to sleep when the screen is off, so the battery just keeps draining. I'm using stock ROM. I don't know if this is a software of hardware issue.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
The only thing notable that happened was the battery stats getting wiped. Otherwise the phone behaved normally.

Try getting BetterBatteryStats, second post has the newest apk attached (2.3 iirc).

Start it up to get it established, Set Custom Ref. from the menu, shut the screen off for...ehh...20min.

Turn it back on, select Custom in the left drop-down menu and Current in the right drop-down menu.

Check Kernel Wakelocks and Partial Wakelocks using the top drop-down menu to see if anything sticks out.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] minhntp:
What is the full capacity when you put those 2 battery in?

I just bought a battery. This new one has 6 symbols each line (like the one you bought) and 2 lines of manufactured date. The old (original) one has 5 symbols each line and also 2 lines of manufatured date.

When I check "charge_full" after full charging, it shows 3312000 for the original battery and 3230000 for the new one, while the "charge_full_design" being 3312000 for both battery.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
All three batteries I've had showed the same 3312000 charge_full_design. But I'm not sure if this is relevant to us, aside from as a reference to compare to.

Out of curiosity and so I don't purposely give outright bad information, I went and looked at the kernel (up on github courtesy of lunar-kernels).

3300mah design capacity is set when the kernel is built (BLT34 battery profile, which is grabbed by the power manager).

I'm not sure where the number "3312000" specifically is coming from. I can't read the source for the BMS well enough to tell why it's coming up with that number, aside from it's a calculated result based on more than just the design capacity.

Based on the above and other behavior, I don't think any permanent information is stored with or retrieved from the battery itself; design parameters are set in the BLT34 profile and then the BMS amends certain things as it takes measurements. It assumes that whatever attached battery is actually 3300/3312mah until proven otherwise (calibrated with sufficient cycling).

Said measurements are stored ~somewhere~ outside of the ROM, recovery and download mode - mine persisted through the LAFsploit process and TWRP on both partitions - and cleared when power is lost. Maybe they're stored in RAM somewhere? Maybe the BMS notices the discontinuity in power and assumes a battery change, resetting everything? I'll try making sense of the kernel source to see...

The labeling difference is curious, and something I hadn't really given thought to. The newer ones have NOM and NYCE marks, which are Mexican safety approval things. It's interesting that the originals don't have them; maybe because LG doesn't make phones for the Mexican market and thus saw no need? I doubt these third-party manufacturers have gone out of their way to actually obtain said approval...probably just stuck them there to satisfy customs.

I bought a battery from another seller and installed it this weekend; it uses the 12-symbol style as well, has date+date code like the original (dated a rather shiny 2019.09.08!), and weighs the expected 48g/has an OE-style "stepped" back making it thicker.

Seems to charge fully and otherwise work as expected. charge_full still = charge_full_design, I'm not sure if this is because the BMS has determined that it's an OEM-capacity battery, or it hasn't cycled sufficiently to update. Gonna keep an eye on it. Pictures attached.

Edit: battery listing on ebay. Note if anyone else buys it: the suction cup that came with mine was 100% useless. Plan accordingly.

-

A further note on the smaller battery I bought: it did perform admirably. It had no issues when using the phone as a power supply (~2.5A sustained output), right down to where I stopped it at 5%, which is rather abusive for cells in this form-factor. It was just...well...smaller. It certainly wasn't a bad battery at all, it was just misrepresented. Lighter/slightly-smaller batteries would make great travel batteries, if the V30 were swap-friendly...

[MENTION=5521404]Septfox[/MENTION]

I hope you bought a good one.

The battery I bought lasts long, but also takes long to charge (about 2 hours). The phone shows fast-charging but when I check battery log in Hidden menu, it shows only Quick charge 2.0.

I found a way to reset the battery information, hopefully sellers don't use this to reset the cycle count.

There's a thread on xda that shows a method to reset battery information on HTC phones. That is holding down 2 volume buttons + power button (volume down + power for LG V30) in 2 minutes while the phone is being charged, let the phone restart as many times it takes in 2 minutes. And then charge the phone to full.

I did that and when I check in Hidden menu, the battery information was resetted to 3312000 full capacity and 0 cycle count.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
QC 3.0 wouldn't outright increase the speed any; it exists to help reduce heat and provide more consistent charging.

If it makes you feel any better, mine is also getting stuck on QC 2.0. Judging by the way the Parallel Charging status flickers on and off as I move the cable and put pressure on the connector, I could probably stand to get a new charging port...

This is why wireless charging is a good idea. But now that I think about it, replacement boards are cheap on ebay ($5), so replacing it each time the battery is changed might be a good bit of cheap maintenance to do :good:

Have you tried a different cable and/or charger to see if your charging improves? Maybe you need a new port, too.

I find this slightly alarming, actually...

The normal button combination to hard-reset the phone is power+vol down. This might just be what's happening, and by making the phone do it repeatedly, the firmware might be interpreting it as a bootloop condition caused by something in memory and completely disconnecting power in an attempt to mitigate it (clearing the battery stats in the process). Probably harmless though.

Dunno that a seller would bother trying it, though. What do they get out of it, other than a seemingly-new battery with less capacity than it should have? It would just recalibrate when charged and show the real capacity in the hidden menu, and the game would be up :v
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
All V30 always show QuickCharge 2.0 in Nougat as well as Oreo. Not sure about Pie.

Speculation was it was a script error, that it was really 3.0 -- but falsely shows 2.0.

Can't remember if it was ever proven one way or the other.

I do remember people say it now charges slower on Pie. Again speculative because LG knows batteries are older?

I'm still on rooted Oreo, so I don't care. ;)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] BROKEN1981:
I don't notice my phone charging any different. Even when using wired.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
I read "the display may not be correct, so you should totally use this as an excuse to get a newer charger-doctor that supports QC".

...and you're completely right, I'm gonna go do that :v

Or to mitigate further aging by reducing internal heat. I also remember seeing somewhere that it was limited to 12w or 13w, now that you mention it, though that might have been for 15w wireless which has a reputation for slow-cooking the battery (in any phone, not just the V30).

Wondering if you can help me. I have a 2017 Honda Civic Si. My objective was to install Viper4Android. Currently, my head unit is stuck on an "Software Update: There was a problem reading the USB Device. Please switch off the vehicle then restart to retry." screen at boot up. Cannot get out of it. I even removed the fuse over night. I tried the different combinations of "Hard Reseting", but nothing works. Audio Power+Menu+Dimmer & Power+Volume. When I press the button for the right mirror camera, the Head Unit remains black. When I press random buttons on the head unit, the screen flashes either red, green or blue. No colors flash when the volume buttons are pressed.

What I did...

1. Installed Honda Hack using car's Web Browser.

2. Installed Super SU

3. Installed Busy Box

4. Installed Viper.

I immediately opened Viper after installing all the apps without rebooting. I tried the EQ, but nothing worked. So I proceeded with Super SU. There, I was prompted with a "Need to update". Then "SuperSU: If you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM, that can be used to (try to) install the SU binary. This is recommended for HTC devices. How would you like to install the SU binary?" That's where I mistakenly tapped on "TWRP/CWM". So now when I start the car... I get "Software Update... Current... New... Copying... Please do not turn off the vehicle or disconnect the USB device." The progress goes up to 25% and then prompts me with* "Software Update: There was a problem reading the USB Device. Please switch off the vehicle then restart to retry.".

Thank you.
