Hi folks,

It seems that many of us are notcing a huge lag on our GPS while navigating...

Others seem that they don't have any lag...

What do I mean by lag? Well, for example, if I'm passing under a bridge, my GPS software shows me still behind the bridge. Sometimes, the lag is more than 5 seconds...

The image bellow is a excelent example:

(Credit to Cyphol for the image. Thanks m8 :D)

In order to sort out what could be the cause of this lag, I took the iniciative of opening this thread.

What I expect from you guys, is that you tell if you have a lag or not, by voting on the poll (to have a statistic overview) and also by telling in your post, if you have the lag or not, and specify:

1-What ROM you're using

2-Which Diamond you have: DIAM100, DIAM 140, etc... (visible in bootload mode)

3-Which Radio you're using

4-Where do you live, or use the device

5-Which GPS software you use

6-How much free memory before and after using the GPS navigation software

7-Which HardSPL do you have installed

8- Which software do you have installed on your device

9-The GPS software (the executables, not the maps!) are installed in the phone memory, or in the storage?

10-Other info you may feel useful

Let's see if we can find out what makes our GPS lazzy :D...it could happen that it's something solvable by our wise cookers ;)

I'm counting with your participation!!!!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Radeon123:
1-What ROM you're using

Currently TLR V3 but have used original stock UK, TLR V1 and V2

2-Which Diamond you have: DIAM100, DIAM 140, etc... (visible in bootload mode)

UK Diamond - DIAM100.

3-Which Radio you're using

Currently 1.00.25.06 but have used my stock radio 1.00.25.03 and 1.00.25.05, all have been excellent but have noticed 1.00.25.06 gives me a little better GPS accuracy when pinpointing my position.

4-Where do you live, or use the device

I live in South Wales UK.

5-Which GPS software you use

Always use TomTom 7 for car navigation and use Google Maps now and again.

6-How much free memory before and after using the GPS navigation software

Mine varies a lot as I sometimes have many apps open, but usually I have 25-35mb free ram when using TomTom 7.

7-Other info you may feel useful

Nothing I can think of, but I never had any lag whatsoever on my phone using multiple radios and roms. GPS accuracy is extremely accurate, when viewing my my location in Google Maps using GPS it puts the dot directly on top of my house and in the right room to. about 2ft out :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] s1rl4ncel0t:
Which HardSPL you have installed?

And when driving, don't you have any lag? I mean, like passing under the bridge with your car, but the GPS still indicates that you haven't reached the bridge yet...

???

HastaSSSS
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Radeon123:
It's in my sig, am using HardSPL OliNex 1.40 Developer Edition.

When driving I have never experienced that problem, as soon as I am about to go under a bridge TomTom 7 is spot on, same with round about, if I am halfway way around a round about TomTom 7 also says it's halfway around it.

Never had any lag with my old Tytn 2 or my Diamond.

5-Which GPS software you use

Sygic and iGo (iGo has a better navigation in cities and Sygic outside of cities). TomTom also works fine, but i prefer Sygic/iGo.

6-How much free memory before and after using the GPS navigation software

About 52 MB available before and 49/50 MB after.

7-Other info you may feel useful

I have no lag with my Diamond GPS :)

All basic from the SwiftBL 3.2 + HTC GPS TOOLS

Which means that Advanced Config is installed and A-GPS is disabled.

9-Other info you may feel useful

No lag whatsoever, did have a problem after the flash where i could not get a lock, fixed that with the HTC GPS TOOLS and its "Nav. Init" buttion fuction whatever that does, and now it works great.

From i push the TomTom icon in program till i have a lock takes 22 seconds, when iam inside - actually on the toilet.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] freakdahouse:
I don't think it has to do with the gps, I have the lag too on Igo8 and Tomtom 7, but if you do a preview of the trip both on tomtom and Igo its like its running on 3-4 fps, ndrive works perfectly! So the problema I think is just about optimization of the programs. On my Trinity both worked fine and with much more frames, not like this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] s1rl4ncel0t:
Hi,

Could you please post the specs that were asked in the first post?

It would be useful :)

If I understand what you meant, is that you telling it could have to do with video aceleration...However, I tested with an external Bluetooth GPS receiver, and it worked perfectly...No lag whatsoever...

So, this means that VGA is out of the equation...unless, when using the external receiver, the load on the cpu is less (because the aceleration could be unexistant) and then the rendering is smoother...

But it wouldn't make sense, because not all of us has the lag...

At this point, I believe is has something to do with a certain aplication that some of us has installed...or some configuration external to GPS that may be interfering...

Thats all, but as I said, seems weird that without gps signal, tomtom demonstrating trip is still slow, nothing smooth.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Radeon123:
It's already in my list, 3rd one down, forgot to put Schaps in front of it, will fix that now :)

I also leave A-GPS off as after a while it causes my GPS not not work properly, example, running TomTom 7 or any other GPS app with A-GPS on, the app will detect the sats, connect to 8 or 9 of them for a split second, disconnect and then attempt to connect to them again, does this over and over. Turning A-GPS off fixes this problem.

Have had that problem on all ROMS and radios I have tried, A-GPS used to work perfectly on the Tytn 2 though :confused:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ceevee369:
not ROM related I think

I can just give you my input found on testing a lot of ROM's and different GPS maps, incl. passive GoogleMaps (which is a good benchmarkingtool)

1. I had lag on TYTNII and have lag on Diamond ONLY when using the on-board - CPU combined SirfIII.

2. In all ROM's Assisted GPS is disabled.

3. tested 5 own manufactured + 4 competition Bluetooth receivers and found NO lag in Garmin XT, Mapking 2007, mapkingV7 and papago.

Lag was still identified , though less than with internal GPS, in Google Maps at oversized zoom. (3G used in same environment and same daily routing, so no impact here)

Should we not point the finger to the CPU?

When internal GPS used, I got a constant 95% CPU usage to 100%

With external GPS, CPU consumes 75% on average which migh secure correcte Map rendering maybe?

Hope I am correct (and that it is not ROM related) as I need to promote our external GPS solutions ;-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Huey85:

7-Which HardSPL do you have installed

1.40.Olinex Developer Edition Unsigned

8- Which software do you have installed on your device

Everything that came with Dutty's Hybrid, PocketCM, PCM Keyboard

9-Other info you may feel useful

No lag whatsoever - now and then it might be about 1meter off but rarely.. Even in the city, it takes barely 20 seconds for me to get satelit locks.

9-Other info you may feel useful

There is a huge difference with all services on.

With HTC EnlargeStartMenu and LargeTitleBar both off icon's are showing OK again (sometimes they where a bit strange).

With TF3D off my sync-software (for iMac) Eltima Syncmate also works perfect.

With TF3D on, it doesn't work.

How to downgrade from Android 10 to Android 9 on Galaxy S10e...

Has anyone figured out how to downgrade from 10 to 9 yet? I've tried a couple of tutorials, but they either not using and S10e but an older model WITHOUT Samsung bootloader locking, or they've been rooted - which I'd prefer to avoid.

I run into the error: "CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 7 BINARY: 3"

Then beneath this: "Pit_flash_binary - UNSUPPORTED VERSION".

Surely there MUST be a way to do this...? :confused:

i.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ShaDisNX255:
That means you are trying to flash older binary into your phone which is already in newer binary (bootloader). Meaning that no, you can't flash older firmware into a newer one.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Ivanlc73:
... Which means the e-fuse is something new since Android 8 or 9, as I've downgraded previously without this problem.

Would my only option now be to root, then or is there some way to downgrade the bootloader...?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ShaDisNX255:
I mean you can technically downgrade as long as the bootloader versions are the same.

Just as an example, if you are on Pie U3 bootloader, you can downgrade to Oreo U3 bootloader as well. You wouldn't be able to downgrade if you were already on Pie U4 bootloader and wanted to downgrande to Oreo U3 bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Ivanlc73:
Well, it's the bootloader for this accursed Android 10, so I assume this will make downgrading impossible, dammit. ?

Ok. Next Q; can I assume the only way I can downgrade the bootloader is by rooting the phone...?

(It's just rebooted by the way. I don't *think* Knox has been tripped, as the version info is all there and nothing indicating otherwise.)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ShaDisNX255:
I'm not sure if there's a way to do it with or without root to be honest, I've never had the need to research anything regarding downgrading the bootloader. Hope you find what you're looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Ivanlc73:
Only just seen this reply, my friend. :rolleyes:

I've decided I'm gonna try the Magisk root method created by [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] and see how this works out.

I've now switched to using a Huawei P30 Pro (New Edition) as my main phone, so I can afford to risk rooting the S10e and seeing if I can downgrade it like this, as it seems a fairly safe way to go for a Root Noob. ;)

I dunno if rooting

will

let me downgrade the bootloader; I'm just assuming it will, as I'll have root level access to the device.

... And If it all goes south, then not too much'll be lost, I hope - plus I'll have learned something new, I suppose...:eek:
