Hi,

Is there any way to adjust the touch sensitivity setting on the Sprint TP? I find that I need to press pretty hard to get things selected. I do have the included screen protector installed, and I'm assuming that makes a big difference?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Install Schap's Advanced Config (search for it) and then fix it in screen settings.
[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] kakamato:
Is there any way to unlock/root the phone now that LG gave us the middle finger by terminating the LG Mobile Developer site?
[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] surgemanx:
Not that I have seen.I have the Velvet and the Wing.We need the firehose that's for sure.
[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] romanlx:
I already managed to put the Velvet into EDL mode and also got a working firehose..

(i used the one from here: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-guide...y-g7-thinq-except-g710tm-with-photos.4168771/)

but, after flashing patched boot images with qfil, the "red case" screen appears when booting, which can't be skipped. it detects some kind of tampering and refuses the boot.
[LG Velvet Questions & Answers] surgemanx:
Thanks for this,but that's for the 4g version.I've been looking for the 5g version which is the most common Velvet in the U.S. The 5g version has the 765g.

I have now walked around freezing my ass of in 20 minutes. I'm using tom tom 7 and have also tried google maps. Before hard reset everything worked just fine, it had full reception after 20 sec.

What can have gone wrong?
[XPERIA X1 General] Agaas:
Maby you forgot using quickGPS?
[XPERIA X1 General] Paitor:
Nope, used it several times
[XPERIA X1 General] ell82:
You have to hard reset one more time. I had the same.
[XPERIA X1 General] Paitor:
Already did it a second time. Don't know what more to do.
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
I've had this happen on my Touch Pro and my Kaiser. It takes an obscene amount of time after a hard reset to get a gps signal. Try just leaving it on for a couple of hrs. If it never comes up then u have something serious to worry about
[XPERIA X1 General] ell82:
Ok, but you can't catch signal of gps or software can't see any gps hardware?
[XPERIA X1 General] Paitor:
Well, Tom tom tells me that it has found the hardware. Then it starts to search and I can see in the gps info that it hasn't even found one satellite.

I have contacted the support my mail. If they can't help me the phone goes back to the store.
[XPERIA X1 General] nelshh:
Here's what I did when I had your problem, I went to the settings of TomTom and then GPS-status > Configuration > Another Bluetooth GPS (Instead of built in GPS) > COM 4. All of a sudden it started working again! :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
Yes this is what happened to me. It detects the hardware but doesn't find a satellite for a quite a while and then after that first run of the GPS software it works fine.
[XPERIA X1 General] Paitor:
I did one more hard reset today. Ran quickGPS, walked up a hill and placed the phone on a table for 30 minutes today. I have also restarted the phone and tried wayfinder, google maps and tom tom. At best tom tom gave me 3 gray bars. Wayfinder tells me that the signal is 25% but doesn't gives me a position. Goggle maps gives me a position but not so exact. I give up. Will leave it for service tomorrow. ohh, by the way. The support couldn't help me with any extra information.

GPS dead after hard reset

Hello,

The GPS of my Xperia is also dead after a hard reset.

Before it worked for weeks without a problem. After a hard reset is totally dead.
[XPERIA X1 General] at45:
You should both install Chartcross GPSTest and run it. Set it to Auto. If you have no luck, kill the QuickGPS program from task manager and try again.

NB: When I had this problem, changing the baud rate to 9600 solved it, until the next hard reset when I had to set it back to 4800.
[XPERIA X1 General] SonyXperia:
Hi Guys,

I'm having a similar problem with my X1.. I turn TomTom on after a hard reset and after a minute I get a GPS signal which is fine but then within a minute of using the app it completely freezes the phone and then the only way to get the phone working again is to remove the battery and start the phone again.. it seems to only happen when trying to make use of the GPS all other functions of the phone are OK as long as I don’t use the GPS..

Any ideas..?
[XPERIA X1 General] dwj:
I had same problem with gps refusing to get a lock so I just returned it to shop as it doesnt work as its supposed to. I think these forums are brilliant with lots of helpful people but at the same time I think £500 is enough money to spend that I shouldnt still have to search for help to get the phone to work as it should.
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
same issue... return device is nonsense, should be a software problem
[XPERIA X1 General] zenkinz:
make sure you set the GPS port as COM4, rather than Intermediate Driver. The latter is supposed to act as a virtual driver above the physical com port (com4), and selecting this "virtual" port will hang (at least on my Garmin MXT). I don't have that in my Touch Pro so I really think this is a Xperia bug.
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
must I deactivate "manage gps automatically"? can you tell me exactly ALL gps parameters? tnx
[XPERIA X1 General] masseur:
so has anyone found a solution to this yet?

SE support say they haven't even heard of the issue despite the number of posts about it around the forums
[XPERIA X1 General] guap:
solution for me was: hard reset -> gps test -> tomtom and all others apps work fine ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] chicken_chicken:
any new Tips? I cannot get it to work with GPS Test either :( What I cannot change the rate, it not saving my changes :(
[XPERIA X1 General] el_lo:
This worked for me several times ::

Hi guys, I had the same problem as you with the dead GPS after a hard reset. Before the hard reset, everything was perfectly fine. After two days of fiddling around I found the/my solution :

-start tomtom 7 and wait until it's searching for sats.

-Press the X-panel button to go back to your desktop while tomtom is still running.

-Go to your comm manager and ENABLE 'Data connection' at the bottom. Once enabled, you can disable it again (I did).

-Go back to your running tomtom app and it will have a fix ;)

This may seem like a strange guru method :D but it worked twice for me. You only have to do this one time, even if you softreset, your GPS will still work :cool:

PS : In the 'External GPS' settings, you can leave everything on default values :

1st tab : software gps port : com4

2d tab : Hardware GPS port : (none) - 4800bauds

3rd tab : checked (= automatic)

PS2: Maybe you can replace tomtom 7 by any other GPS app !?

PS3: Best try this on the road or outside... :)
[XPERIA X1 General] el_lo:
The solution I wrote in my previous post doesn't work for you :confused: I had exactly the same symptoms...
[XPERIA X1 General] sas_sas:
A-GPS Port ???

My jade has the same problem..

GPS dead after QuickGPS sattelite data download..

Probably there is wrong config. with the A-GPS port.

Normally it is ComPort 4, maybe A-GPS port is different..
[XPERIA X1 General] Tylwith:
This work for me too.

but i have seen that sometime avec a hard reset the gps speed port changes to 9600 instead of 4800 and in this case it doesn't work.

so i hard reset again run gps test checked of it was in 4800 bauds , catch a signal and the other application worked as well. The speed seems to switch between 4800 to 9600 at each hard reset for me
[XPERIA X1 General] Paitor:
Ok, I forgot about this thread. I left my X1 to service. They reflashed my phone and after that everything worked fine. Probably something that was missing in the ROM I had so some files were corrupt after hard reset.
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
A problem that I have seen occur more often.

I've seen it across several devices, with several GPS programs.

Try turning on bluetooth before starting the GPS application.

I have no idea why this influences the built-in GPS, but it works for me. TomTom won't be able to get even the tinyest signal until I turn on bluetooth, after which it gets like ~10 sattelites within 10~20 seconds (using my GPS enhancement settings).
[XPERIA X1 General] Reversedhex:
when you go driving in the car use quickgps and tomtom 7

when it has a fix it will find it in 2 seconds the next time
[XPERIA X1 General] vwrmic:
I've had a similar problem after a hard reset of my device, after a few days of hard resets and alot of messing about. (installing programs 1 by 1 to see if one was causing a problem).

As strange as it is, the cause was installing too many programs at once..

When I hard reset now, I install 2 or 3 programs. Restart, start tomtom, get a fix. Close, install another few, then same again. Annoying but you only have to do it once.

It took me ages to figure this out, and I don't even know why it causes an issue, but I finally got it working.
[XPERIA X1 General] phenx:
installed everything, didn't get a fix after 30+ minutes, rebooting didn't help. tried a lot of programs and the one finally able to fix it was

Nadavi_HTC_GPS_TOOL.cab --> NOT hot start or warm start but COLD START did fix it!

so it's worth a try for you as well i think..
[XPERIA X1 General] blueking2003:
This works for my x1, but i cant close the BT during using the TomTom. looking for another solution....
[XPERIA X1 General] Tylwith:
the problem seems to have disapear with the new update hard reset 4 times and gps seems to work.
[XPERIA X1 General] ivanlwk90:
Exact same issue. Any idea what is causing this problem? Hard-resets are supposed to bring the device back to pristine condition software-wise, but it ends up disabling the GPS. :mad:
[XPERIA X1 General] ivanlwk90:
Is this problem universal? I tried flashing the original R1 and the R2 ROMs multiple times. I also hard-reset countless times.

They don't do anything to improve the situation.

I have to use the strange methods to do, AND THEY WORK, but my hardware GPS port settings refuse to be saved.
[XPERIA X1 General] ivanlwk90:
I thought this is the best community site to ask for advice. Sorry for triple posting, I want to bump it.
[XPERIA X1 General] ivanlwk90:
Oh man, sorry for my persistence, fourth bump.

Can you nice (hopefully) people go to the External GPS settings and try to change the GPS hardware port settings? The GPS hardware port always remains as (none) and the Baud Rate always stays as 4800 NO MATTER HOW I TRY TO CHANGE IT. Help please.
[XPERIA X1 General] xdapol90:
GSP stuck saying signal 25%

I have the same problem after using for 2 months. GPS is not detecting position. I tried Route 66 which worked with my X1i for 2 months but now oops ! no gps, Even wayfinder has the same problem. Google maps also has same issue.

I tries GPStest it says "GPS starting up..." and nothing happened.

Any body have any clue.
[XPERIA X1 General] MrLeet:
bump,

Hi all,

Got my Xperia back from repair but all of the sudden my GPS doesn't work. I've tried literally everything but at GPSTest the damn status still says: searching for satellites.

The funny thing is before it went for repair the GPS was amazing, fix in like seconds.. But after getting it back (flashed ofcourse) TomTom or GoogleMaps both don't get a fix.

After 7 hard-reset and countless soft-reset I lost all hope of getting it working again. The settings are default (so Com4, 4800 and Windows managed) but in GPSTest it always runs a test with speed 9600.

So if someone has finally figured it out how to make it working again, please share.. ;):rolleyes:

gps

hi i have my xperia for 7 days

and since then the gps is nor working

the same situation

and i'm trying the options from the forum one by one

turning on the bluetooth

instaling the HTC GPS Software

still havent done hard reset

still waiting fo other solution

update:

after hard reset - the GPS worked

after installing all my programs the GPS stoped working again

i did hard reset one more time - anad put the programs one by one

i dont know but one or many programs are messing around

the gps is working for now
[XPERIA X1 General] MrLeet:
I appreciate the reply but this has been stated in this topic for hundreds of times. I tried this already.. But this doesn't solve the problem.
[XPERIA X1 General] sms2000:
My quest with A-GPS had begun when I installed some highly recommended tuning application. I tuned and tuned and tuned my wife's X1i till I lost GPS completely. iGo8 anf GPSTest both could not find it. No GPS hardware at all, not to speaking about any satellites!

Nothing helped.

I made a full system backup and flashed the latest stock ROM. A-GPS returned back to work! I made a full restore from backup - problem is here, no GPS at all.

I hard reset the phone and A-GPS is back OK.

I decided that the core of GPS problem is in the registry. So I made a partial restore (without Registry) and reinstalled applications one after one. A-GPS is still OK.

Resume: before installing any new to you software or playing with tweakers or any other system applications - make a full backup with SPB Backup or so.
[XPERIA X1 General] mr_sheen:
A-GPS? im sorry if im wrong, but aren't we suppose to turn the A-GPS off because it'll crash some navigator software? that's what i read a while back...apology if i made a mistake...
[XPERIA X1 General] sms2000:
By A-GPS I mean everything regarding GPS in X1i. Both internal hardware GPS and A-GPS applet which updates GPS with satellites' trajectories.

After I ruined something in Advanced_Config application (I didn't touch GPS section at all) I lost GPS hardware. iGo8 and GPSTest could not find any GPS port and manual setup failed too. Like something closed/locked GPS related COM port.

Sort of a problem in the Registry. Advanced_Config is not specified for X1i only, so maybe some keys lost their correct values...

Here where the Hard Reset helped. But when I restored my last Spb Backup I lost the GPS again. So one more HR and only partial Restore helped (no system data)...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Macusercom:
I was wondering what you guys use for getting notified when a firmware update arrives? As I'm rooted, I won't receive official OTA notifications. I can check Frija manually or any other firmware website, but is there a neat app that does the trick on the smartphone itself? Something like Oxygen Updater on OnePlus devices? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] richhaynes:
Ive never seen an app for this. As you alluded to yourself, the issue here is for it to notify you on your phone. It is very simple to write a script on a computer to look for a version change on the website and notify you. You can run most desktop scripts in Termux but there's no way to schedule it so its still a manual process. You need an app that can scrape websites for version info but I have zero experience in that area to even know where to start.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Macusercom:
I have now found multiple ways of checking for an update in case anyone is wondering:

CheckFirm: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.illusion.checkfirm

You can try to scan for a new firmware. It uses other users to find a new firmware but according to the dev, it might be able to scan automatically in the future (though no ETA)

Use Samsung's own version.xml: https://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/DBT/SM-G998B/version.xml

This is an example (replace DBT with the CSC code and SM-G998B with your model version. It will list all firmwares with the newest firmware number at the top.

Use Samsung's changelog: https://doc.samsungmobile.com/sm-g998b/dbt/doc.html

This is an example (replace DBT with the CSC code and SM-G998B with your model version.

There are plenty of services online that check for any changes on a public website. Most of them are restricted to a certain number of websites or only check every 24 hours. But checking those two official websites from Samsung would make it possible to get a firmware update notification.

Since you can't update the firmware on the device itself while being rooted, a notification is enough for me. I still have to use ODIN on a Windows PC anyway ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Valiante:
Thanks was looking for this
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] JeffATL:
Is there some notification from SamFW or SamMobile that will send you an email when an update is available?

I'm not rooted. But I am using CSC GCF which does not get updates.

I tried the CheckFirm app. I am currently on SM-S906U1 and when checking XAA it shows CWI1 stable and I am on DWK5 - its saying the DWK5 is test but that was an OTA update

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Squa2:
I used a debloating script on my H870 without doing my homework and actually seeing what it does, I naively assumed that the author of the script included only bloatware. However, the genius that wrote the script included the LG always-on display in the list, for some reason. Now my AOD doesn't work and I'm frustrated because it's one of the best features on my G6 and I can't figure out how to restore it. I have a full TWRP .ab backup file which has everything alright, but it's 4 years old and I really don't want to go back that far.

Yes, it looks good and slim is it a plastic case?

Yes, it's a very lightweight plastic. Both the x-level and memumi are very thin with a matte finish. Not much of a protection in terms of drops but they look good. I have used both on my S10e

Yes, the Spigen case is great but it is a little costly so I wanted other cases like j4m01 mentioned! The skins are great from Gadgetshieldz and Dbrand but they all look similar and the cost of the skins is less cost in Gadgetshieldz which I would prefer. Do you mind sharing a link?

How to fix this ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] freebee269:
Contact Twitter and give your feedback. When it comes to apps, Samsung has no control over that.

I have noticed a slight lag also in Twitter but I've now gotten used to it and don't notice it as much.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] brachiopod:
I'm not noticing any lag or delay scrolling around in Twitter at all, it is smooth smooth scrolling fast or slow and Twitter is my most used app. Maybe I just don't see it?
