Gps

Is GPS with those two datas full working?

I tried to copy them but every time I want to paste the datas in system/lib(/hw)

I got a notification that there is not enough space (I have enough space).

Is it because of the rights?

Someone who would like to help me?! Thanks :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] thomas_pieps:
Are you using rooted explorer?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] memin1857:
You may try to put the phone near the window to try to get sat info in gps status app without driving around. You can get gps fix even inside if you are near a window. If you manage to get the sat info in gps status, maybe gps will work properly afterwards. Altitude may also give you a clue. If it is no longer fluctuating between 0 and some number, then you may very well have fixed it already. Might be more practical than being outside in a car.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] toby_89:
Nope ;). Had a normal explorer. With root explorer everything worked out finally.

1) [check]

2) [check]

3) like described I changed gps.conf my closest one:

Germany — de. pool. ntp. org

server 0. de . pool. ntp. org

server 1. de . pool. ntp. org

server 2. de . pool. ntp. org

server 3. de . pool. ntp. org

my gps.conf:

NTP_SERVER=0. de . pool. ntp. org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http ://xtra1. gpsonextra. net/xtra. bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http ://xtra2. gpsonextra. net/xtra. bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http ://xtra3. gpsonextra. net/xtra. bin

SUPL_HOST=supl. google. com

SUPL_PORT=7276

4) [check]

5) no idea, doesn't work...

some ideas?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] thomas_pieps:
That is correct, if your gps is not working (by most people it isn't) then you have to wait until a driver fix is released or use an external bt gps

NexusHD2 GPS Gingerbread issue

I loaded NexusHD2 Gingerbread by Tytung and could not get a GPS fix with stock Tytung ROM. Saw this thread posted as a solution so I replaced the two files using ES File Explorer, but now I get FC on every GPS app I have. i.e. GPS Test and GPS Status. Reboot and still the same.

The two files I replaced now have rw permissions, so wondering if they need to be read-only? Any suggestions to get GPS working again?

Many thanks!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kabil87:
hi everyone, i ve been using this rom but i m having gps problem too, so i chanced my libgps.so and added gps.bravo.so and edited gps config file but now i cant get my gps receiver active. anyone has an idea? and may someone post libgps.so file so i can get it back. thanks.

woks on ... i changed only permisions ... MDJs_CyanogenMod7_v.2.4_NAND_A2SD_CWM
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Diem:
I've been playing with GPS status aswell. With the current roms, you get a fix which is not updated every second and GPS status does not show satelites.

As I was trying to port my own ROM, i had a every second fix and GPS status showing satelites while messing with AdamG's Oxygen v2.0 RC6.

Rafpinga beat me to it by getting Oxygen ported correctly, however using my port files on his build gives me the same results. I'm now able to get a satisfying fix to use with google navigation. It's jumpy here and there but in my opinion way more usable then current GPS status.

Before trying the files attached, Please rename or backup your current files!!

I have set permission to 777 on all files using Root explorer. Let me know if it works for you!

regards,

ps. I have it working using the files attached (ie gps.htcleo.so). You need to validate if this works for you, or try rename to gps.bravo.so
[HD2 Android NAND Development] barty22:
Thanks Diem, I tried your files on mdj cyanogenmod 7 v2.3, replacing them in system\lib\ and system\lib\hw with root explorer, but afterwards gps status and gps test apps crash. Also tried renaming them as you suggested, but still crashes. How should we properly install these new files? Did you use adb or root explorer to replace them?

Edit: Works for me too now! Hadn't set file permissions to 777 yet... :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kempatron:
It works!!

Just loaded your files onto MDJ Gingerbread and it works! I can get a proper satellite fix and multiple satellites are reporting back! Thanks man! I use CoPilot to test with and it's the first time I've seen in actually reporting satellite signal in Gingerbread! :-)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bitx0:
THANKS Diem !!!!! Work fine in MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.4 + iGO :))
[HD2 Android NAND Development] barty22:
Works for me too now! Hadn't set file permissions to 777 yet... :rolleyes:

Haven't tested it yet while driving though, maybe tomorrow
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DeoreDX:
I'm using tytung's Nexus HD2 v2.0 build. I found the gps.htcleo.so and libgps.so files in the system\lib system\lib\hw folders. But the sensors.bravo.so isn't there. I have a sensors.mahimahi.so and a sensors.goldfish.so. Would it replace one of those two or so I drop it in as is?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shorty1483:
With Cyanogen 7 2.3 from MDJ, I had to rename gps.htcleo.so to bravo, but I can confirm to have the first time real Sat contact. Thanks so much Diem.

"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for the Community."

Proove:

Would try it with both step by step, after doing a Backup with CWM. IMO dropping it in as is would not work.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Voffchik:
can you share the files you replaced in your MDj's CM build?

Simply the trick ! This is working great for me. I've only changed the permissions. Great job. Many thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Voffchik:
Works!

Thanks

p.s - like you said previously i had to change to bravo
[HD2 Android NAND Development] BaCo:
converted gps fix to CWM package

For those who use ClockworkMod Recovery, i made a CWM zip file from the normal zip.

It copys the files with the right filenames and change the permissions to sufficiant ones.

Please be aware, that i am not responsible for an damage on your phone, but for me this fix and this package works awsome! :D

Thanks Diem!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] lukesan:
That looks more like it!

Anyone tried it yet with Sygic or iGO?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] koossmatrooz:
I´m very sorry, i´ve downloaded the files.... and than what to do? Please someone...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Voffchik:
go to /system/lib

replace the libgps.so with the new one

go to /system/lib/hw

replace the 2 files sensors.bravo.so and gps.htcleo.so (if there is gps.bravo.so then rename the gps.htcleo.so to gps.bravo.so ) with the new ones.

set permission for those 3 files to 777 - use root explorer.

Restart
[HD2 Android NAND Development] koossmatrooz:
Ok thanks for the explaination, the only thing i don't get is to set the permission for those three files to 777??? Can you explain that?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Voffchik:
click and hold on the file with the root explorer - a menu will pop up. look for "permissions"

check all the options available

do this for all the 3 files.

reboot
[HD2 Android NAND Development] koossmatrooz:
Ok i feel so dumb, i already get stuck on the first part, to get in the system/lib...part....please help me out

How do i get in the system?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Voffchik:
use "root explorer" to navigate the files on your phone

find the folder "system"....................
[HD2 Android NAND Development] koossmatrooz:
Ok Thanks, i'll try...:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] koossmatrooz:
Ok i got root explorer and i can find the files... How can i move the downloaded files to the system folder. From my computer...is it just drag and drop or can i only acces from the phone.

Still stuck...:(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Folkert:
Got a very quick fix also, I´ve used dropbox to send the files to my phone. Copied the files and replaced existing files, set permissions, reboot et voila! Great work!!!

Using MDJ´s latest version, just had to rename the gps.htcleo.so file.

Ready to test drive co/pilot. Was using Sygic but was previously crashing. I´ll post updates when this works.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] PattePansen:
u have to copy them to your sd card...from there u can move them with root explorer to system/lib/

for me this dosnt wok...i cant find out whats the problem...i have give all permissions and renamed the file and ever single tip in this thread but i cant get it working with MDJ Gingerbread v2.4...

dunno whtas wrong...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] honki:
thats cause GPS dont work without problems with gingerbread! A lot of people still have trouble to get a stable GPS connection...

i hope they fix this soon!

lg
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Voffchik:
you certain you switched the 3 files

one in the /system/lib

and the other 2 in the /system/lib/hw

make sure you rename the file gps.htc"somthing".so to gps.bravo.so
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Voffchik:
yes you need to copy the files to your SD card

disconect the cable

and make the switch on the phone using the phone via root explorer

p.s. OMG!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] brendix:
What program can use one but root explorer?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] PattePansen:
i did all this...i even used the cwm fix zip

i give up...maybe i try an other release with no gingerbread...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Voffchik:
thats just weird..

i didn't switched to 2.4 because there was no major update there, just updated the kernels..

but it worked gr8!

maybe it worked for you, and you just don't know it?? did you tried to use "GPS Status" from the maket?

go outside and check it... ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] FireMAN999:
Thanks for the updated files.

Used clockwork to install the zip file, worked fine.

Went outside to test with GPS status, got a lock after 30 seconds and satellites finally show up on screen in gps status.

I had a 20 min trip and tried it with Copilot, it only dropped the lock for a few seconds once in that time.

Not perfect, but a hell of a lot better than it was.

Thanks very much for your efforts Diem, BaCo.

Regards.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] humandroid:
+1 for Diem's gps-fix.

I had GPS-fix working before, but it was not stable while traveling.

After applying this fix it is nice to see satellites show in GPS Status again!

Will have to test a few days while traveling, but GPS sure feels better now, what I see on the GPS Status screen reminds me of other builds where GPS was ok.

I am quite sure this is resolved now. If U can not get this to work on your HD2 I would say: Be patient and wait for a next build that incorporates this fix.

hmmm, no matter what i do, i don´t see satellites and don´t get a fix @ all

i checked everything 3 times, the files are where they should be and everything´s 777...

running mdj´s cm7 2.4....

no clue what to try now....

any idea why this works works for so many people but not for me.. ? are there different hardware revisions of HD2 ?......

anyway....:(

Did you try "old fashion" fix just to stay somewhere on the open space and wait fo 10-20 minutes to let it "cold-start"?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] error23:
no way....

getting some unstable fix, but no satellites are shown in gps test & copilot....

i guess it´s time to update my old tomtom :-(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] barty22:
+1

I just took the "new fix" for a test drive, and while it is definitely an improvement over the older situation, it's not perfect yet.

For example, I can't get any satellite information when there is no fix yet. Only when there is a fix it shows satellite information. And usually gps drivers can show satellites even when it there is no fix yet.

And I still get several lost fixes while driving, even though it is miles better than it was.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] lukesan:
Same thing happens in the non-gingerbread builds.

I am actually starting to dislike the GPS receiver in the HD2. Yes, it picks up sats fast in Windows Mobile but it is clearly the worst in other area's I have ever seen.

If you drive using cruise control (tempomat for the Germans) the speed jumps up and down like crazy. For example if you drive 100km/h it sometimes varies between 97 and 104km/h which is just terrible.

I've owned 4 other phones with GPS and several BT GPS modules but non of these where that terrible.

This seems to be happening in WM and Android so it must be hardware related.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] undergroundcugir:
it screwed up my g-sensor, can someone upload the original MDJ ginger 2.4 files ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] FireMAN999:
Does nobody read anything or backup before they flash or change files.

Saves a lot of hassle in the long run. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] undergroundcugir:
i managet to back-up only one file :D

great work, I copied the files to the directory, but I dont rename any file.

And it works very well for me, no datadrop, no laggy...

(maps, c:geo, igo)

I tested it under MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.4.

sorry for my english
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DeoreDX:
Did a comparison of the files and it looks like it replaces the sensors.mahimahi.so file in tytungs's Nexus HD2 v2.0 build. Pushed the necessary files and set the permissions and rebooted. GPS lock in 5 seconds on my back porch. Satellites now reporting on the GPS test ap.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] atta_svg:
Looks like the only file that is different from MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v2.4 is libgps.so.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Gushfevah:
Applied the new fix this morning, and been driving round alot today, the fix works great. Didn't notice a drop.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] LiFE1688:
There is no way a GPS can give you any information except last known location and last gps satellite fixed time, and I don't remember seeing any Android builds having this last known location stored, except in google latitude.

Are you sure it wasn't AGPS information? AGPS has a 5KM marginal error, GPS has 10 meters, and AGPS is faster to provide you any information, because you are already connected to the cell towers.

A lot of these Gingerbread builds have AGPS turned off by default.

Settings -> Location, I forgot what the full setting is, but it is just right above the GPS enable.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bigmikehd2:
I used Faster Fix to change my region then used Root Explorer to change permissions on the two gps files and everything works great for me now.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] barty22:
When I try my Desire HD (which has an unofficial Gingerbread rom on it too, btw), I get satellite information even when I don't have a fix yet. It shows you the visible satellites and their strength, and after a while and enough satellites and enough strength, it will turn into a gps fix (testing using "Gps Test Plus"). Note that it does NOT give me a position yet until there is a fix.

This is normal behavior, and is similar to what i have experienced with previous gps phones, also in windows mobile.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] barty22:
Really? I seem to remember that it worked fine when in windows mobile, don't remember how it was like when running froyo.

And yea, the HD2 gps isn't the best by any means, there was a lot of discussion about how crappy it was even in windows mobile. But it's what we have to manage with unfortunately :P

Has anyone been able to get remote desktop to xp home working? I can vnc to my ubuntu desktop but cant connect to my xp netbook. Tried tightvnc and ultra vnc on the netbook but neither worked for me. I could be setting the server up wrong though.

Thanks

Matt
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

If you really mean "remote desktop" to WinXP Home, I don't think XP Home has terminal services (only XP Pro does, I think).

You can try the pocketcloud free trial on market. That supports both VNC and RDP protocols, but the trial version only allows you to set up one computer at a time.

Jim
[G Tablet General] jasco13:
I guess remote desktop viewing would the more generic term.

My understanding is that tight VNC and ultra VNC both add this functionality to windows XP home. I've got two VNC apps that work well on the gtab as viewers (i can remote view my ubuntu desktop). It was easy to set up, but then again ubuntu comes native with VNC support out of the box.

Just wondering if anyone has had experience running TightVNC or UltraVNC servers on XP successfully.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
VNC has no encryption, keep in mind (password and data flow in the clear). There are ways to add encryption, but it may not be a free solution.

I used to add VNC to Windows some years back, but layered it with SSH to add the encryption layer.
[G Tablet General] japhule:
I use xtralogic remote desktop. Seems to work pretty good.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I have Ultra vnc server on one of my XP Home machines, and it works fine. Maybe the XP firewall is blocking the incoming connection? You can turn off the firewall temporarily to test.

Jim
[G Tablet General] cuzzinz:
Xtralogic remote desktop is the best rdp software for android. Uses the screen like a touchpad and follows the mouse.
[G Tablet General] dragonfly1113:
best remote software by far is LogMeIn i love it and use it every day, not only does it work computer to computer but works very well from g tablet to my home machines, you can install the free version on the computer than get the logmein app which does cost something not sure exactly what since i got it a while back, just google search it in the market. cant hurt to buy it and try it if you dont like it just return it in 24 hours :)

Update and Root? doesn't work together.

If you need root, stay with 2.1 and wait for the custom roms.
[Gen8 General] heffe2001:
If you're already familiar with flashing custom roms & kernels on your EVO, look over in the Development forum here, and you'll find a fairly easy way to get root with the .71 update. They also have overclock-capable kernels, and instructions on how to move the system over to a microsdhc card to get a more-complete root. I'm still hoping we can get it completely opened for non-sde custom roms, but at this point I'll take what I can get, lol.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clubtech:
At what usage limit does T-Mobile starts to throttle? And do they so it on the unlimited plans ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
5gb per month, and yes on "unlimited" plans. Other phone providers(such as AT&T and Verizon) will charge you an overage rate, even on "unlimited" plans. T-Mobile, thankfully, just throttles.

There was a way to completely defeat the throttle on the T-Mobile G2 forums, but it required root and modifying some system files(as well as having drawbacks of it's own) which I'm not sure it would work on the Nexus S.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schizopunk:
I did this on my phone, it requires modifying the services.jar. I can post the modified one for you guys if you'd like.

EDIT

Root is required to do this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heinrich:
Yes thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
I've only been throttled once, and it wasn't until I was at like 6 gigs plus. The throttling wasn't very severe either...I went from 4Mbs avg speed to ~3Mbs. No big deal for me, even while tethered.

Maybe I was just lucky.

Funny thing is that my NS has NEVER reached the speeds I can get with my Nexus One. NS seems to cap out at around 3Mbs, the NS I got as high as 4.3Mbs one day of testing. I'm going to test with the N1 again today at my office and see if the N1 is actually pulling data faster. There's no way I'm throttled this month...most of my data has been on wifi, and I haven't received the dreaded SMS telling me I'm a data hog.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
My experience has actually been the opposite of yours. As I've noted in other threads where Nexus vs Nexus has come up, my Nexus One had an exceptionally weak 3G signal. We're talking >1mb on a good day, if I even left the 3G on. If it was an important business day, I often knocked it down to EDGE just so I could reliably receive/send phone calls/texts.

My Nexus S usually pulls down between 3.2-3.8mbs, which is interestingly enough about the same as I was getting on my briefly owned MT4G(though the G2's speed was double them).
