I actually have iguidance too, and have the gps lag as well. But I haven't tried reducing the baud rate in iguidance to 4800. I'll try that on my way home.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] doublecheese:
Guys, I'm really thinking that there is problem with your GPS chip if you have lag. I will tell you why.

I have a friend who bought a unlocked TP from USA about 1 1/2 month.

I have bought mine while visiting USA about a month ago. .

3 weeks ago I loaded , IGO8 and GARMIN XT on my TP , and it works perfectly well, no lags no nothing, everything perfect.

At the same time I loaded the same IGO8 and Garmin XT to my friend's TP. He has alot of lags, the gps position is not correct sometimes, etc etc.

Now think like this; two HTC Touch Pro's bought at the similar times, both from USA. All radio and Radio versions are the same

One is working perfectly , one has problems. We're using the same navigation softwares and we made side by side comparision..

To solve the lags, he had hard resetted his TP atleast 4-5 times, did all the registry and other tweaks, he changed the raud rates , it all helped up to a certain point. His TP's GPS is never as good as mine.

So after these comparisions , I surely think that people with GPS lags/problems should report this issue to HTC.

Because here is a living example what I just explained.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
@doublecheese

You are right, it seems that some TPs seems to have this problem and some not even if they are exactly identical regarding to software versions.

But that doesn't necessarily mean, that the bug can't be fixed with a new radio or a better GPS driver in the OS.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] doublecheese:
in 2006, I bought myself a FSC N560, it has a great large screen and a very fast processor. N560 had been my main Navigation source when I'm navigating due to it's large screen.

It was working like a charm, however just until recently I started getting lags and the gps sensitivity has been much much worse. I used to get full satellite bars, now I can't get even half bars and also suddenly all bars disappear. However sometimes the bars become full again.

This clearly shows that , my N560's satellite receiver is not working as it used to somehow. It had been working fine since last two years, but suddenly it behaves like this.

With my friends TP the results are similar, that's why I think the GPS receiver is faulty.....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] paulyluca:
I am also starting to think that the real problem is the "GPS driver in the OS", because, so far, no tweaking, what so ever, really works.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] itm:
How is the GPS receiver in built-up areas?

I've read that that TP GPS has trouble holding a signal in built-up areas - e.g. driving around London. Can anyone share their experience of regular use in a city like London?

I have a Dutch Vodafone branded TP.

ROM: 1.90.172.4 nld

rom date: 23/08/08

radio: 1.02.25.19

I had problems with GPS lag about 25-50 mtrs.

I applied the XDA JCEspi2005 GPS Lag Fix Raphael and installed the Nadavi_HTC_GPS_TOOL.

After this my gps using Google Maps and TomTom 7 (pre-installed)is very precise.

Since i installed them both at the same time i'm not sure what is fixing the problem, but my guess its the JCEspi2005 tweak!

The Nadavi_HTC_GPS_TOOL seems just for testing your connection but i'm not sure about what it does exactly.

If someone has more info about this tool please share your knowledge.

QuickGPS workes perfectly for me for getting a quick fix by the way.

My guess is that most of the GPS lag issues are software/registry related.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rockywall:
I have had my TP for over a week now and have tried the GPS tweaks on this site to no avail. I installed Franson GPSGate and it worked perfectly. I also had this problem on the Diamond and GPSGate fixed it. My wife's touch also has GPS problems with WinMo 6.1 and GPSGate fixed them. I think the problem lies in WinMo's attempt at "managing" the gps, under Settings | System | External GPS. Myabe it is not compatible with HTC's chip. However I have turned that off and still have the same problems and a few others. I will stick with Franson until HTC comes out with some sort of fix.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TheDuck:
ROM update to fix GPS lag?

There's been talk on a couple forums about Sprint's delay for the TP being to fix several issues, including GPS lag. Also, the fuze is/was delayed until Nov xx because they also were waiting for a ROM update, according to one of the posters.

Does anyone here have an advance copy of the new AT&T ROM to test whether the fix really worked?

Here's a link: http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/inside_an_htc_facility_rumors.html

and here's a quote:

(Delay for Sprint Touch Pro release--why? Needs a ROM update to fix the following:

* Camera Lag issues: Software

* GPS Lag issues: Software/reg edit

* TF3D exception issues: software/reg edit/update

* Camera Update - Software

* System Performance with Processor - Software Update/patch

* Speaker Volume issue - Check Hardware - Software/AD Update

* Control PAD malfunction - Software/Update

Hi guys,

I have a Xperia XZ sov34 and it just bootloops on Sony Logo. It can't be repaired using Sony Xperia companion. I can't enter in factory reset mode using common combination button like power + volume button+ nor power + volume button-.

When I use power + volume plus, the led notification just turn in to bleu and when I use power+ volume minus it turns into green when I plug it to my PC...and Xperia companion says that my phone is locked or i can't unlocked it because the screen is all black.

Please help, What should I do!? Here in my country we don't have Sony client service.

Thank you in advance

The blue LED indicates that the Phone has booted the bootloader. The green LED indicates that you booted the revovery. Both only show a black screen.

From the bootloader you can boot the system using

Rebooting into bootloader OKAY [ 0.000s]
Finished. Total time: 0.000s

>fastboot reboot

Hi guys,

During the navigation on Google Maps, my displayed position is about 100mt or few seconds back from my real position. I noticed the problem increase when I turn.

I have a S20 Ultra snapdragon version. I used Maps for almost a year without any issue.

I restarted the phone. Cleared Google Maps cache and data. Reset the compass. Reset the GPS and downloaded the new data thru GPS Status app.

What else can I do?

I'm really getting lost.. in all the ways.

Do you think is a software or hardware issue?

Any help is really appreciated.

Many thanks

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It comes with a 5000 mAh battery, right?

If it was a compatible graphene cell I be tempted but otherwise it's a high risk venture.

When an Li fails it's not a pretty picture and can easily destroy the phone.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Deanro:
Yes a graphene battery would be ideal if one were compatible for the 20X. Amazon sells graphene batteries but how would one make them compatible inside the phone takes guesswork.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The power controller/hardware as well as firmware would likely be incompatible.

You would need to modify the battery connection as well. If you could find one with the right dimensions the phone would be likely incapable of super fast charging it.

Be nice if a company made retrofits for older phones but this seems unlikely.

So... keep throwing Li's at it🤣

I may go to replacing them every 6-12 months. The ignorance/fear factor is gone in me. Routine maintenance now.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Deanro:
Yeah I hear you. Honestly I dont mind replacing my 20x's battery. But I'm headed down that end of the road for the phone for sure as its showing its age and wrinkles. It may be time to replace it with another phone with better, up to date specs as I'm eyeing the black shark 3 pro and note 20.

The 2 issues with the BS3 pro are the camera and battery. In reviews its cam isnt that good which is a downer and the battery drains fast despite its 5000 mah capacity. The Note 20 on the other hand has a very sharp screen but its still small relative to the 20X.

I'm caught between a rock and a hard place in deciding which phone is best. Ideally if there were an ultra crisp amoled phone with the same screen size and aspect ratio as the 20X I'd jump at the chance of buying it in a heartbeat.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Meh, wait till the right comes along. I'm in a holding pattern myself with the Note 10+, Pie🤣

Other than the battery it's aging very well.

Many devices with A9 have a particular question about the vbmeta file / partition. Some MTK Socs like MT6771-MT6763-MT6580-MT6737 come without this partition.

Obviously you should confirm that it exists on your phone with fastboot:

fastboot getvar all

You can see the partitions by your phone.

In A10 this partition is essential for the same ones that I mentioned and other phones Socs because it is characteristic of A10.

[General Questions and Answers] DragonPitbull:
Custom recovery must be applied and for there to be a functionality it is necessary to disable dm-verify and encryption status. But it depends on how the custom recovery is done and what it offers.

According to experiences and situations with other phones with A8 or A8.1 and even A9 that does not have the part removed from dm-verify and forced encryption, you must install a zip file after installing custom recovery. With this change that will be made on the phone afterwards everything will be fine.

I have just bought a new Android TV Box model 2021, H 96 Max RK3566 4/32( Android 11) and installed the KODI app and the corresponding build on. I immediately noticed that the box has a big problem with this app and when I run the KODI app KODI loads and after a few seconds it resets and returns the screen to the basic default screen, sometimes it completely reset the box and restarts the box again. After many attempts, I sometimes manage to make KODI work normally until I turn the box off, after a new activation on, the same problems occur. Is there any way to fix this problem?

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Misterxtc:
I had a Note 20 Ultra and I think the 21U blows it away besides the lack of the SD Card. The camera on this is much better in my opinion and the device is snapier. I haven't looked back in the two months since I traded the note in. The case and screen protector selection is much better for the 21 too.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mickliq:
I had an N20U just prior to the S21 Ultra. Agree the camera is MUCH better on the S21U (and haven’t really used it that much due to the pandemic...). Only thing I miss about the N20U is using the shutter on the S-pen for selfies.

After doing that, i cant boot into TWRP custom recovery.

I've tried typing "fastboot boot twrp.x.x.x.img" right after this screenshot, tried using the power+vol up button and all other possible combinations, and it doesn't work. If I try to reboot and then go to recovery by using the "abd reboot recovery" command, or using the power+vol up button on my phone, it goes into the default recovery.

I've tried at least 20 different twrp.x.x.x.img files, in both linux and windows, and nothing seems to work. And yes, my adb is up to date.

Also, when in confirmation dialog for the ROM to be installed or not when it shows the old and the new version, the old is completely blanc.

Hi everyone, this question is for developers who have some bases in hexadecimal programming, I would like to know if it is possible to remove the message after unlocking the bootloader, I had an LG V20 H990DS and I had followed the tutorial on this thread and it was working fine, is there a similar solution for the ROG 5.

That depends. I modified a Teclast T30 bootloader (Mediatek garbage) that forced a delay and printed an orange error message about the bootloader being unlocked. A bit of Arm64 reverse-engineering and I shorted the delay to 0ms (none, basically) and just cut the string short (null-byte) and it works fine on my junker tablet.

Thanks. Just waiting to figure out how to do a raw backup and restore, then I can get to it. If TWRP isn't required to do a raw backup and restore, then I can also begin work on porting TWRP. I've some experience, but not the most when it comes to TWRP porting.

*Edit* I'd like to add, reverse-engineering the ASUS Unlock Tool seems to show the limits on unlocking may be artificial by ASUS. Uses a call-home to fetch data to unlock with. The logic though may be in another castle, I mean package. The FOTA app does the same thing.

*Edit* By the way, does anyone have the exact message that displays about the bootloader being unlocked? I might be able to begin work tracking it down to remove as well as any delay (if there is one).

Some mods target the abl.img (possibly Android Boot Loader) so that may be one place to start. I personally never bother with backups, so I didn't really consider that.
