Ever since the VZW Update released my GPS no longer works, (didn't Update my phone)

I used to get locks right away (8-10 satellites) when I was outside now I get ZERO.

I use GPS today and Google maps.

anyone have any explanation why it would suddendly stop working?

Running DCD 3.2.5 and 3.42.50
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] hobbiteer:
sorry man I have no idea. my device still gets locks but I always have to toggle location on settings. (go in and turn it to 911 only say ok till I am back to the main screen then go abck and turn it on and say ok till I am back at the main screen again) then soft reset. it takes me a while now to gets locks but I do get them (no2chem5066 with radio 3.42.50)

have you updated your phone via *228? llboredll spoke about how me might of found some issues when programing his phone after verizon released the software update.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jambrose:
I had some serous issues trying to get a fix yesterday but just now I walked out my basement and got 7 sats and lock within 15 secs or better. So I will have to chalk it up to some weird anomaly yesterday.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] evanbriggs1:
guys thanks for the quick response, ya il try resting my "location" setting and yes i did do a *228' 2 ealyer today trying to fix the issue, it didn't change my PRI.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] evanbriggs1:
ya the location reset didnt work :( im still dead
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jambrose:
Try a GPS program that displays the NMEA messages like GeoScout. If you don't see any then your GPS is not turning on. So either flash the ROMs again or you have a back GPS possible.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] scrawnyb:
I wish you guys would read the damn forums.

The OFFICIAL VZW update kills GPS for anything but VZW Navigator, got it?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ande8150:
But he said in his original post that he didn't flash the VZW update.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jambrose:
Read the first post, he didn't (repeat) didn't update his phone. His theory is that Verizon did something to the network to work only with the update such that us on Custom ROMs it will not work. Obviously that is not the case but that is what he was asking or theorizing about.

I think we all have read the forums on it and are tired of people updating their phones and then complaining on this forum that it screwed up their phone. I can only say "Do your homework before flashing anything" otherwise don't whine about what you have now.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] evanbriggs1:
so you think it may be more along the lines of software??

give me your top 3 pics and ill try them all out.

Thanks a lot, and yes I was theorizing it was a network issue not my phone its self. seeing if anyone else may have had a issue recently with it.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] evanbriggs1:
Fixed it, uninstalled GPS Today

Installed GPS Toggle, and got locks 30 secs after i turned it on, thanks for leading me in the right direction!

I even get locks in my Room witch did not happen before. so defiantly awesome!

Hi everyone,

I'm testing a webpage that after a submit triggers a very heavy process on the server backend. Unfortunately the processing takes so long that after some 40 seconds Internet explorer displays this error page.

View attachment 5211343View attachment 5211351

This is definitely a timeout error related to Internet Explorer as it is not triggered in other browsers. Internet Explorer (wm6.5) simply doesn't wait long enough for the response.

I've been trying to find some setting or registry key to increase the timeout limit but with no success. And here I am hoping some XDA veterans may have any suggestions for a workaround.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Blissfull:
Hello all.

I'm testing my new note 8 after having repaired it (more on this later just in case), and I notice that the point of the s pen shifts off the tip with the s pen tilt, and it's on point (pun ignored) only if I hold the pen perfectly perpendicular to the screen.

Is this behavior normal or expected? I hope not, and I hope it's fixable.

I mention the fix since it maybe had something to do with it? I bought the phone on Ebay us thorugh a friend (it's a N950U originally from vzw, running U1 now), my friend tested it but when it arrived here it would not connect to or even list any network.

After many many many many tests and getting some diagnostics via the engineering rom and searching extensively on Google I decided to change the power connector board. This fixed the radio/connection issue effectively, to do this I removed the back cover with an air pencil (soldering station), removed motherboard to change the power connector board (assembly) and reassembled. I mention this only in case this could've caused this somehow, be it hardware, or system (I shoved engineering rom on this, and saferoot, and after doing my tests I activated service codes on efs so I could use them on the normal rom, maybe something got corrupted in stylus calibration on efs? I doubt it but just in case)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
You mean if you have the spen on the screen making a dot then tilt the spen at a 45° or more angle it makes an extension of that dot towards that angle of tilt?

My 10+ behaves that way. It extends the dot proportionally to the angle of tilt and in the direct of the spen body.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Blissfull:
It starts before 45, as soon as I start to tilt the dot wanders away from the tip in the direction of the tilt.

It's an expected behavior then?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Yes. That's exactly how mine behaves.

You're looking at it too hard.

Relax doctor, the surgery was a success👍
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] mergleh:
Is anyone having any problems with facial recognition? I can set up my look (and alternate look) and literally keep my phone in the same place it was when registering my face, and it will give me a 'Face doesn't match' error when I try to unlock the screen. Occasionally it works but its definitely less than 50% of the time.

1) I have a screen protector on the phone but there is a cutout for the front camera.

2) I have verified via the camera app (and during face registration) that there's no debris blocking the lens.

3) I've tried various lighting and it doesn't make any difference.

4) I found a site that suggested clearing app data / cache for 'Face Unlock' but I'm not seeing that app in my app list. I scrolled through the whole list and didn't see anything that seemed to indicate that it was related to face unlock.

I'm coming from a Pixel 4, OnePlus 6T, and tested an iPhone 12 and never had any issues with those phones. I understand that they may be using some more advanced camera / infrared tech to detect the face, however, I don't understand how I can register my face and, without moving the phone immediately try to unlock it, and it fails.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can try?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] tfn:
I come from a Pixel 4Xl and compared to that the s21 ultra face recognition is really poor, I do realise that the pixel has the sensor, but the s21 is just a shame ATM. Hope they fix it.

Otherwise I'll disable it as the fingerprint is OK .
[Android General] clappertrap:
Hi folks

following the tutorial I posted many years back, here is my updated instructions for Android upgrade. After much research, I decided to go for Android 6 (Marshmallow) - to be honest, Nougat and others just seem to slow on the device - and anything is better than ICS (the stock).

Note - in all tutorials I have seen, the key combination for the GT P5110 to get into download mode appears to be to press simultaneously, the Power button with the volume rocker closest to the power button (Volume Up). However, with my device (Australian device?) the Volume Up key is FURTHEST away from the power button. So if you are having issues, that could be why and you may need to try reversing which buttons you are pressing!

Here are the tools you need:

1) I did a stock reset for my GT-p5110. The p5110 stock rom I got from here, but any google search will help you - you don't have to take this step as you're going to wipe it anyway, but I wanted to know how to do it so I could revert any time I wanted.

2) To install any newer Android versions, you need TWRP on your p5110 espressowifi .

TWRP will allow you to add custom Android version in future steps and is an easier way to manage the device. I took Common TWRP version from Android Andi from here (I used 3.2.3.0 .tar.md5 - ensure to get the one that is right for your device.). Download it to your PC then flash to device using ODIN (I used ODIN version 3-13-1).

3) After flashing TWRP with ODIN, restart the device using power and volume up - it should boot into TWRP. Once you are in TWRP, do a basic wipe and then you can install lineage 13-0 from Android Andi here annoyingly this seems to overwrite TWRP with cyanmod and I had to reinstall TWRP again via ODIN

4) Reboot device and Lineage13 should now be installed..

5) If you want Google Apps such as playstore etc, you can install from reading the WIKI here - I did it after checking that LOS13 was loading fine. So if you do it that way, you then must launch back into TWRP, do a factory reset, then install GAPPS - I suggest you choose the smallest package (pico).

6) restart device and...... if all goes well, you should be up and running. In my experience Lineage13 is faster and pretty stable than the later versions, but the GAPPS really slows down the machine.

I am still evaluating this set up and will update this thread at some point.

[Android General] mc.dodd:
thanks for this info, it's all working well. I was just wondering if it's possible to install newer versions of Lineage too please?
[Android General] JVogler:
You were able to successfully get your GT-51xx above Android 4?

Granted, It's been years since I've installed any custom Android versions on a device...but I've spent several days trying to get my GT-5110 to anything Above Android 5, as most apps refuse to run on Android 4.x, and I'm hitting snags at every step basically. Just curious to know if you successfully did it, and its working before I keep wasting my time on this tablet.

So frustrating that I have so many expensive devices for their time, that are not useable because Samsung makes it so difficult to keep alive after they move on. The hardware is perfectly capable of doing everything I need...but Samsung wants it to go to the landfill.
[Android General] darioaxel:
[SOLVED]

Hi,

I'm getting really frustrated trying to flash a p5110. I think i've done everything fine but.. one I flash the twrp file from the first post the tablet reboots to normal Samsung boot mode and in the download mode it adds one to the Custom Binary Download: Yes (2 counts) ... what do i wrong? Any idea?

[SOLUTION]

The problem is that Odin did restart automatically the tablet and while it's plugged it goes directly to normal boot. What I did is to check "No reboot" on Odin and once the flash is finished, unplugg the tablet and restart with Vol+ and Power.
[Android General] hans.horstink:
I have a GT-P5110 with android 4.2.2 on it and kernel 3.0.31-2312598. It doesn't do anything anymore with this OS on it.

If I put the tablet in bootloader mode there is a menu:

reboot system now

apply update from ADB

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

Only 'apply update from ADB' puts the tablet in a listening mode. But Odin doesn't see the machine and doesn't connect. Using ADB, I was able to send over 'HOME_P5110UVSDMB1_P5110XXDMA2.tar.md5' (all other versions, images of TWRP etc failed), but it ends with the message 'E:signature verification failed' message on the tablet.

I did put the tablet in developer mode. and applied recommended settings. But there was no 'Allow OEM update' setting.

Any ideas how to proceed to get this tablet to update and do something useful again?

[General Questions and Answers] gardina:
what apps let you record without a time limit?

I heard that with the stock android camera app the time limit for how long you can record is about 30min, even if you have a big SD Card.

And I heard that the max limit is 4GB but you can't get near it with the stock camera app (and I suppose SD cards won't generally be that big)..

But I would like to record for e.g. > 30min sometimes. So, does that 30min or some time limit exist and if so , what apps let you record for longer than the stock app, storage permitting?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
SD-cards are FAT32 formatted. On this filesystem the max filesize is 4GB.
[General Questions and Answers] gardina:
@jwoegerbauer well whether you are on point or not, besides the 4GB file size limitation, I heard(though not a good source), that there is a 30min time limit that hits first. And that there are some apps that don't have this time limit. And i'm asking if this time limit exists and what apps don't have this time limit?

And actually, https://pocketnow.com/android-11-finally-lifts-the-4gb-file-size-limit-for-recording-videos-sort-of There is a 4GB Android limitation that has been lifted recently. (So, nothing to do with FAT32). I don't nkow if maybe an SD card can be formatted as other than FAT32 eg exFAT or NTFS., on Android..

They mention that the Open Camera app can shoot larger than 4GB (no doubt not on FAT32).

The suggestion then is maybe the stock camera app can't.

I suppose if the stock also has a 30min limitation, then the open camera app won't.

Added

I notice that one of my videos is 1hr long so I think maybe there isn't a 30min limit!

Though my recording isn't 4K. I just read

"Only 4K video recording has time limit of 4 to 8 minutes(phone to phone varies) as it takes large amounts of storage space on your device and heats up the device to much greater extent. So to eradicate these two things, companies limit the video recording in 4K UHD in their devices. If you are recording in Full HD, 720p or other lower quality and have ample storage space in your phone to save those recordings then you can record as much as you want. "

Please let me know if there's any way to recover the download mode.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
I'd suggest looking at this thread. Also, the screen telling you the bootloader is unlocked is normal, when you have a device that has it unlocked, you *always* see it when you boot up.

Very thank you!

but Unfortunately, it didn't work for me.

I forgot what i did, but maybe I modified xbl_a, xbl_b, etc.

and try below method it didn't work, too.

I've touched too many things....

I'd like to know if there's a way to force the use of LG Flash Tool or something like that.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Follow this post. (Don't speak Spanish so have no idea what the above video is doing, can't help there).

Essentially, when you flash an image to a partition it doesn't belong in, you run the risk of overwriting into nearby partitions (because image is bigger than partition size). If you do that, then the only solution is what's in the post above. It basically restores the entire device using qfil. Because when you start overwriting partitions (and possibly the partition table), there's no way of knowing what is messed up and what isn't.

cheers

Maybe I should give up custom rom for a while.

many thanks!!!
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
good that it worked. Follow this link and in the folder find boot_20n_magisk.img and use it (assuming you're on kor 20n), use qfil to flash it to boot_a and b.

It has both magisk and twrp in it. Remember, after flashing it in qfil (save original first of course), you need to hold vol - and pwr for a few seconds (until u hear windows chime meaning disconnect), to exit qfil.

But! and this is important, we don't want the device to boot, we want to go directly to recovery. So keep both buttons pressed but when LG logo appears, release pwr and then re-apply it, which then goes to recovery.

in recovery, u have to format data, then reboot recovery and flash dm_verity.

cheers
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] 1688_:
Thank you very much for your follow-up.

I succeeded in entering the twrp.

But I got screen asking password, there's default password or something?

View attachment 5213013
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
There's no password, you just cancel out of that but be sure to do the 'swipe' to make it modifiable. The key after that is to format data, then reboot recovery and flash dm_verity, then encryption won't exist and no longer asked for pw.

cheers

Hey guys,

today I had experienced many issues, from no response upon all buttons, which turned to the Mi Flashing which didn't work, which lead to a backpanel removal & EDL mode with QFIL. I had made sure that all the info I had gathered is posted on here so no worries, the next ones will come across my comments on the relevant threads (there were four of those during the last month!)

Anywaysss...

Now I had finally got it all back, I ran `fastboot flash boot SHRP.....` and Flashed both Bliss_OS.zip && SHRP.zip on my device,

then rebooted... and Wallah. another problem.

And I just can't tell why it is happening. I had wiped everything prior to these flashes & formatted Data before those installations & After the second(last) installation (Bliss')

Apologies but have scoured all the threads and cannot seem to get to a straight answer!

Have a tocuh-dual which I attempted to update to the latest ROM from HTC and now I have the "tri-colour screen of death!) and can get no further,

The screen shows in thered band - RUUNBH | NIKI100 | SPL-1.16.0000 | CPLD-4. The white band shows "serial" and when I connect the USB lead it shows "USB".
