I can confirm that the GPS gate and subzerobob's bob both worked for samsung omnia (With G5/H1 - official Vodafone UK Radio and PDA).

but I dont like having to start up and close soen GPS gate each time (and the additional battery drainage)

so will stick with subzerobob's method and have to delete the GPSID files everytime

re: someones Omnia freezing all the time with GPS Gate - I had this problem to and found it was because I had not followed instructions properly. Upon doing so it all worked fine.

Its a DAMN shame we have to do this!!

I had some serious problems with my Wifi too.

I previously had the HTC Diamond and everything worked smoothly on it but lack of microSD on it was a real killer and I sent it back.

Hi,

I read this on a different forum - maybe it will fix all the problems. Credit to original poster.

-----

If you turn off XTRA, you'll notice that it may require even more than 15-30 minutes to get a fix. Turning on XTRA will shorten this to almost instant fixes...

Many people prefer to disable Enhanced GPS Settings, XTRA data download. This is because 3G/GPRS data connections can cost a lot, especially if you are abroad and roaming.

It seems like Samsung has left some settings turned on in the registy, for debugging purposes, and this makes really slow to get a fix without XTRA data. According to Microsoft's documentation (see GPS Intermediate Driver General Registry Settings) some features like logging can be enabled for debugging, in GPS Intermediate Driver's registry settings, which stays between the hardware and your navigation software.

My experience shows that the following steps seem to improve the time to get a GPS fix, without need to download XTRA data:

1. Go to Settings > System > Enhanced GPS and set both settings to "Disable"

2. Go to your device's registry, and see the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver

3. Change the following string values to nothing (don't delete them, just edit them and clear the value):

CurrentLogFile (originally \GPSID_log.txt)

OldLogFile (originally \GPSID_log.bak)

4. Soft-reset your device

5. With File Explorer, go to My Device, and delete the two GPSID_log files you see, and the file named xtra. If you don't soft-reset, you will not be able to delete some of them.

6. Check again the registry setting. Sometimes in rare cases it may revert the settings back - but that's a general WM problem.

After this, if you start your navigation software under clear sky, you can get a fix in a coulpe of minutes, without the use of XTRA, or any other data source, than pure native GPS satellites.

To digg in the registry there are many free and shareware tools available, I can recommend Total Commander CE, which has a registry plugin.

Also noticed (but this may be really subjective) that flipping the device with the back upwards, while waiting for GPS fix, improves reception a bit - it seems like the internal receiver antenna is oriented to the back of the device... but if anyohe has dissassembled the Omnia can confirm or infirm this.

-----

doing this does not affect XTRA - and you can still continue to use that.

I really appreciate all the contributers' efforts in this issue; which I believe it is much more than Samsungs efforts to clarify the way of operating the GPS on its Omnia device. I believe that Samsung has to end up all this hassle we are paying on operating the GPS in our Devices very soon.

I've done steps 1 to 3 but now I'm up to step 4...

How should I configure my TomTom settings?

If it's configured to use "Built-in GPS reciever" then TomTom always says: "No GPS Device!"

If it's configured to use "Other NMEA GPS reciever" on "COM9" then TomTom always says: "No GPS Device!"

If it's configured to use "Other NMEA GPS reciever" on "COM7" then TomTom always says: "Waiting for a valid GPS signal" even though it's a clear night and im outside... it doesnt find a single signal... :(

Anybody using an Omnia on Verizon wireless in US?

I have been reading this thread half way but couldn't find if anybody is using Omnia on verzion wireless in USA. I really want to knw if any 3rd party navigation software, such as TomTom, Garmin mobile XT or CoPilot would work on Omnia from verizon wireless. I spoke with Garmin tech support person and was told Garmin mobile XT works on omnia but it seems that verizon locked out the acces of 3rd party software to GPS chip. I asked Verizon customer support but if the acess of the chip is restricted by other program but she didn't answer my question. So I would like to hear from the actual users of omnia on verizon network. Is anybody out there who uses any 3rd party naviation software on Omnia from verizon wireless?

Have you tried typing in *#1472365# into their Omnia2?

It brings up some extra gps settings, some of which are similar to settings that can be reached in registry but some are unique.

The main one that was of interest to me was the start up mode of GPS.

Mine was set to cold start which meant that every time i started my tomtom it did so by deleting all previous data.

This meant i was on a cold start each and every time i used it which was why it took forever to lock sometimes.

I have now changed this setting to "hotstart" and my locks are instant.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] tokoloshe4711:
Hello,

I have tried to clone / mirror my daily driver MI A1 to another MI A1.

The phone runs on Lineageos 17 and is encrypted.

What have I done:

1.) Took original phone, connect to computer, boot in

to fastboot -> success

2.) boot into twrp -> success

3.) asked for decryption/encryption code -> success

4.) twrp menu started -> success

5.) put a usb stick with usb-c into the phone -> success

6.) did a backup of all partitions (just in case) -> success

7.) shutdown, remove stick -> success

8.) connect second identical mi a1 into computer -> success

9.) boot second phpone into fastboot -> success

10.) boot into twrp -> success

11.) change directory name on usb stick to serial number of second phone -> success

12.) put usb stick into second phone -> success (removed from compute earlier)

13.) started restore on twrp, select backup -> success

14.) restored system partition and user partition -> success

15.) reboot -> success

Now it gets strange:

The phone started. My background is visible. Telegram Messages came in and popped notification on the screen. So, it seemed to be fine. WLAN/Wifi connection working, telegram working.......

But: phone asked for "first start after boot needs security code". I entered the code from the first phone (which I know for sure), but it says: -> Wrong code

This is strange.

Anybody got a idea. I bought another identical phone to try to have a backup phone.

Kind regards

tokoloshe

SOLUTION:

Finally got it with a little bit research here on xda-developers

1.) connect to pc -> success

2.) boot into fastboot -> success

3.) boot into twrp -> success

4.) enter into adb shell on computer (adb shell) -> success

5.) go to /data/system (cd /data/system) -> success

6.) look for locksettings.db (ls lock*) -> success

7.) delete it (rm locksetting.db) -> success

8.) reboot -> success

That's it ! Now I have a backup device, all apps installed, wifi networks and password restored !!!

locksettings.db

tissot:/data/system # rm locksettings.db

Hi folks. New Note 4 user... so the booting is damn slow on pie which makes me recall this lengthy bootanimation that I created for my note 1 last time. Then I decided to repack the bootanimation for note 4 (since the resolution is different). So here is it (attached to the post)

The bootanimation is actually 720p quality (1280x800) as I made this bootanimation for note 1 last time. So what I did is reconfigure the desc.txt to for our device resolution, and also rearrange the animation sequences. So the end product is a bit different with the youtube preview below:

Anyone found a consistent way to limit battery charge % on Android 11? The custom settings I used with Battery Charge Limit app on 10 work intermittently on 11. Often times I'd wake up to 100% charge.

Currently I'm using Advanced Charging Controller magisk module with it's accompanying AccA app but often AccA gets killed in the background even after not optimizing it in battery optimization. The only workaround I've found is to create a macro that opens AccA every time I plug in the charger. With that step it's consistent but I'd like to find something not so hacky.
