I have done some research on the GPS problem, and it seems to be a general LOS 17.1 issue for many devices. Device/sensor can SEE many (in my case up to 16) satellites, but does never get a fix, or only a fix with around 50m accuracy. Strange though that, at least for me, this happened only with the latest build. And now, even with a clean flash back to the build before, my GPS won't work again.

Edit1: Just in case it is helpful, yesterday I tried a lot of things to get GPS working again, but nothing worked.

It is interesting that in the LOS GitLab, during the last two months there are many new issues opened with GPS problems. I tried redownloading AGPS data. I tried changing the NTP server in the gps.conf file, since the server written there (time.izatcloud.net) does NOT respond to any pings. I copied the original and the modified gps.conf file from #/vendor/etc to #/etc. I even took the WORKING gps.conf file of my old Xperia Z3 Compact and inserted it into my X Compact. Nothing ever changed my problem: Lots of satillites are in view, but none of them gets used. On my Z3C, using SatStat, even after only having found like two satillites, the red dots will immediately turn blue, meaning that the satillites are used for locating the phone. On my XC, no red dot ever turns blue, even after waiting for 20 minutes. I'll attach a screenshot of SatStat to this post. This error, by the way, is reported a number of times in the LOS GitLab, so I ASSMUE it is a general LineageOS problem at the moment.

Edit2: Scanned through all the LineageOS 16/17 threads of my older phones here on XDA, and in every thread, starting from May/June/July, the phones can no longer get a GPS fix. Some people were able to fix it for themselves (e.g. copying the gps.conf file and overwriting the file with itself), but none of that worked for me, sadly.

Hi there, totally surprised with these statements.

I have made nearly thousands of km since my last message, for trekking or by car, just with incorporated GPS chip.

All those km without real problem...

OK, maybe I need to agree for the first fix, it can be a little lazy, with a first long response, but the fix is made everytime! And solid for all one day, every day.

My vacancy trips are done now and all covered with last build GPS without annoyance.

My setup : just device GPS with Osmand+ from Fdroid, ALL swype done for install.

GPX are always recorded and no more to say!

PS: GPS chip is my most used chip on my phone. Will not keep one build that be faulty!

Hope I am understandable ^^
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Spaceoid:
My GPS is working again. And I have nearly NO idea why.

I replaced my audio jack, and therefore I had to pull the SIM card out of the device. I read somewhere that on another device, GPS problems were solved through taking the SIM card out and putting it back in. I am no GPS pro, so I have no idea why the SIM card is involved in GPS. But this might have solved it... Sorry for all the wrong bug reports again.

Final build means there will be Android 10 yes? Why yet not released i do not understand, it is already long time. Even 2014 moto x2 there is Lineage os 17.1. Android 10 :facepalm:
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Spaceoid:
Because our developer, like every other developer, does not get paid for creating a new ROM, and he is doing it in his free time. So it is his choice how often and how long he works on LOS 17, since he is in now way bound to do it. It is friendly enough that he uploads his builds, as he could also just develop just for himself. You can always try to build an own LOS 17 ROM for our phone ;)
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gioyocho:
Ok i got it. Problem is in users, not paying, but there are so many named custom roms. Even 1 will be satisfied for us, no matter lineage os or aosp or ressurection remix or havoc os... Any. Just one build would be enough

Does the phone enter deep sleep for you with activated bluetooth? Without bluetooth, my deep sleep works just fine, but with bluetooth enabled my phone never enters deep sleep...

Edit1: After further investigation, deep sleep is working if I BOOT my phone with activated bluetooth. But if I then DE- and REACTIVATE it, phone will never enter deep sleep again...

Here's the post for the latest version. It got buried in the Treble thread.. no official post for AOSP 10.

The only known issues we came across were occasional random reboot (but not frequent) and that WiFi hotspot does not work at all (it turns off immediately after enabling it).

Hi, this is a best ROM! Only i can not view video using chili or google play video... Only with prime video amazon is possible.

Root is not active.

Solutions?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maluus:
You can root it if you want. I use twrp + magisk. About video thing. I don't use any of those you mentioned. It could be related to kernel 3.10 this rom use. Netflix doesn't work neither. No proper solution afaik.

[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Spaceoid:
Regarding Netflix, as stated before, older versions of the app still work. So you could try older versions of the apps that don't work for you.

I tried to gather some data regarding the bluetooth problem after deactivating and reactivating bluetooth. I attach to this post a screenshot of my battery life during two nights. In one night I rebooted the phone right before going to bed. Mobile data, BT and GPS were activated, Wifi was off (this night is the green line!). The other night, I rebooted the phone before going to sleep, then 5 mins after reboot deactivated bluetooth, and another 5 minutes later I reactivated it again. Otherwise same conditions (this night is the red line!). You can clearly see the difference. In the "green" night I barely lose 3% of battery, while in the "red" night I lose approx. 6%, which is nearly double.

I also add to this post a log I saved. For the log, I rebooted the phone with activated BT, let it relax for 5 mins, then deactivated BT, waited again 2 mins, then reactivated bluetooth again. Maybe that helps for LOS 16 or 17 for our phone.

Again, I only found this because my phone wouldnt enter deep sleep anymore after de- and reactivating bluetooth again after a reboot.

Hey! I was really excited to see and finally try this port, unfortunately i have run into some weird problems - maybe someone here has an idea or encountered this before. So:

I'm coming from Existenz, so i did a complete wipe and flashed LineageOS (trying both versions from this thread), with or without su and/or gapps. Results are a bit random: Sometimes a clean install goes into a kind of "setup-loop" after the language-choice screen, then after a restart i get no further than entering my pin (few seconds of standard-background after that, then blackness, with the power-menu still somewhat accessible). One time a restart seemed to get me out of the setup-loop, but after completing initial setup i only had a useable device for a couple of minutes, before the weird half-frozen state returned.

Don't really know what i could change - ideas?

GPS fix

Ciao, per mia esperienza quando avvio google maps per la prima volta, non funziona e così provo due tre quattro volte ad impostare un tragitto o premere il tasto della posizione finché il mio x compact mi chiede di calibrare la bussola con il classico movimento infinito. Così poi funziona!

Scrivo in italiano se possibile....

I still have the same GPS problem. No solution found yet. In my memory the problems did not appear in the build before the last one (May?).

I had a bit of trouble getting it to work, coming from the (unstable) Treble roms.

I had to wipe and flash everything a few times, then it booted but the initial setup kept crashing, I rewiped, reflashed, booted it, then rebooted to install opengapps, and then it worked.

This rom is great, thanks a lot! [MENTION=596729]Above[/MENTION]: my GPS works fine.

First run Bootloop

I flashed this on a brand new stock XC. First I disabled windows 10 Driver Verification, then used ADB and installed TWRP no problem. Then wiped cache/dalvik, then installed latest build of LOS, then after that TWRP wants to install the TWRP app if not installed. If I swipe to install TWRP, I would get in a bootloop showing the LOS animation for a long time. I wiped and started again. I had to NOT install TWRP after flashing.

In TWRP after the flash it asked to install the TWRP application. If I install it, bootloop, if I dont install TWRP application the phone boots up normally for first run. I used Gapps NANO no magiks. I hope this helps someone. The bootloop made my battery really really hot. That was how I got out of the bootloop animation and LOS loaded fast no problems so far. Even if I just backup and restore the same file, if prompted to install TWRP app, if I try installing it, bootloop. If I DO NOT let TWRP try to install, the phone boots up fine. I dont understand that but I knew I already had TWRP because I ADB install it so, I just ignored the prompt to install TWRP and it worked!!!

I want also to report that the Trebuchet launcher does not respond to scaling the display to larger size, the icons dont get larger, this has been reported in another thread over at freaktab with the Trebuchet launcher on another LOS for another phone.

Hope this helps someone.

First charge since flashing

Now it needs a charge.

This new XC is finally indicated need to charge since my last post 11-17-2020, 04:24 PM.

The phone has been mostly idle for this time (almost 4 Days) but I send a couple text everyday. I have not had any crashing / freezing. I have used google maps for navigation but GPS location took a minute to find me with accuracy using a 4G data connection on ATT cellular. I was using only Cell Tower GPS data, no WIFI.

WiFi has been on except to test GPS.

I did create a pin for locking but skipped fingerprint. I installed Nova Launcher and was able to scale the icons larger in display settings. I wish I had Trebuchet but thats not a big issue, I got BIG icons. Camera app worked for my banking app.

AOSP keyboard reported high battery usage since last charge, but I don't know if its normal.

Brand New XC is looking pretty solid with this ROM.

Hello,

My XC is in fastboot bootloop since I tried to flash the DRM fix so I wan't to flash another ROM (stock or not) via flashboot only because I can't upload files to the phone. Is it possible to do so ? Or can I do this via an SD card ?

I just install this ROM with GApps and I want to uninstall some of them instead of disable theme. How can I do that with Magisk ?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] aiphes:
I just realize I could install minimal Open GApps instead of stock. Can I change it on a workiing machine or I need to reflash all ( LOS + GApps) from scratch ? Thanks
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Spaceoid:
I THINK (!) you could just reflash LOS and then minimal Gapps. Reflashing LOS does not kill your data, but removes Gapps. Then reflash them directly afterwards, before rebooting (?).
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] aiphes:
Thanks for your tips ;) So I just need to reflash LOS and the new minimal GApps package with TWRP as I done it the first time ? Nobody has tried this on other LOS version or phone to confirm ?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Spaceoid:
Yes, it should exactly work like that. I have done it all the time, when an update of the ROM was released, for example. It is called a "dirty flash", if you did not know the name before.

If you don't do a wipe before flashing, your user data stays on the phone. Only Gapps are erased.

As a side note, this will only work with ROM-updates or the same ROM-version you are using right now. Downgrading the ROM, or dirty-flashing a different ROM, is never a good idea.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] aiphes:
OK I just DL the pico GApps package (10x lighter than stock) and go to TWRP, wiping cache and will reflash LOS 16 + GApps

EDIT: 1st try, LOS run quick for the restart after reflash but the message 'Starting phone' stay for a log time like home doesn't load.. normal ? linked to GApps changed package ? after a restart, this loop still here, I wipped the cache after reflash, do I need to wipe another things ?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Spaceoid:
Might be normal. I had that one too after some updates. Just let it work for a couple of minutes. Should not take more than 15 mins though, depending on how many apps you had installed. If it lasts significantly longer, something might be wrong, but I could not think about anything that could have gone wrong. You used the SAME LOS build version, just a different Gapps package, right?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] aiphes:
Yes same LOS and different GApps package . I will retry and let you know.
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] aiphes:
Retry and after 30 min, phone is still on "starting" message. Something is wrong with GApps replacement.

So I will to wipe the system and reflash from scratch. Can I save only datas ( apps + pram) with TWRP before ? If yes, where do I need to put this backup ?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Spaceoid:
This is really strange. I have no idea why this is happening and what went wrong. I am really sorry.

Do you still have a backup of your working system in TWRP? Then you could restore that and back your apps up with Titanium Backup. Then you could copy the Titanium folder to a computer, wipe everything and do a clean flash, and then put the folder back and restore the apps. I am not sure if restoring only data through TWRP would work, I never tried that... :-/
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] aiphes:
Yes I have a backup from initial state (with stock GApps package) and restore it get back the phone to work but with undesired GApps like search. I just do a data only backup (apps and param) and go to wipe the system and flash from scratch. But I'm not sure I will resore this one because of GApps stock pack instead of GApps pico pack. I think I will need to redo param and install of others apps. :/

EDIT: additional info about remove/switching GApps package

How do I remove OpenGApps after installing it? · Issue #551 · opengapps/opengapps

I've installed Pico package on LineageOS14 ,Thanks for the developers work. Now I'd like to remove all the APKs and libs installed thus I could fall back to the status before OpenGapps . I've read ...

Using this ROM since 1 day.

Comming from [ROM][XC][P][9.0][WEEKLY]OmniROM which was a pain for the last months.

More than sometime reboot loops: 3 to n times a reboot after another and multiple other problems.

This ROM is a real pleasure, begining with the simple and perfect working Installation and ending with great stability during usage. No Problems so far, no unexpected reboots.

I especially like to mention that deep sleep, GPS are working and no problems during call.

Thanks a lot to this great ROM, because for me there is no alternative for my beloved X Compact.

LOS 16 seem to work the right way but I have a question about notifications content. On Android 6 and 7 I've complete message content in notif for sms or instant message, but on Android 9 I can't find the way to get the same. Which setting do I find to get this behaviour ? global notif setting or app notif settings ? Thanks
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Spaceoid:
What exactly do you mean? Do your notifications not show the message at all, or not the whole message? :)
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] aiphes:
not the whole message as it did on 6 or 7. Only excerpt appear actually ;)
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Spaceoid:
Mmmmh. I only use WhatsApp and SMS. For WhatsApp, the message is cut after some words, but I think I had the same on older versions. I think it's a WhatsApp thing. For SMS, my phone shows the whole message always, or at least after I pull the end of the notification downwards. It was for me that way since flashing the ROM, I did not change any notification settings...
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] aiphes:
I had the same thing as you for SMS, sliding the notification show the whole message but not on this ROM . I have a different settings as yours for that, I will look again into settings (global and app)

For whattsapp or Telegram, this behaviour is possible too on LOS 14 or android 6.

Another thing, I don't find the way to activate the camera flash notif via accessibility, do this setting exist on LOS 16 for XC ?
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Spaceoid:
Regarding the SMS thing - it might be that yout GENERAL phone resolution is too low? I use the smallest setting. It might be related to that... But just a guess.

And iirc there is not native setting for the camera flash as a notification light.

Edit: Maybe a screenshot of a (not too private) SMS on the lock screen would help!
[Sony Xperia X Compact ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] aiphes:
Hello

After testing with the default SMS app and QKMS, it seem the issue come from the SMS app, chompSMS. Others allow tos view the entire message, chomp doesn't. I'll search about this, not android thing I guess. Happy new year ;)

Could somebody of you friendly guys do a test with SatStat or GPS Test and tell me how long your system takes to get the first GPS fix (TTFF)? It seems really strange to me that some users have heavy GPS problems while others don't.

I even tried a clean installation of the May build, where GPS worked well for me in the past, but now does not anymore, too. Could this be a modem/carrier issue? During the last weeks I was on AOSP 10 and AOSP 11, where I had exactly the same issue - lots of satellites in sight, none locked.
