[SOLVED] GPS problems after GB update

Got GPS problem after the update with my LG o2x.
It cant seem to find any sats. Done everything thats been said on other threads nothing helps.
Any one with the same problem ?

Me 2. I get fix for about 2 sec. Then its stuck afterwards.

I don't even get a lock

Try clearing AGPS data with GPS Status

doesn't help. Can people please post their settings in hidden menu. All of them please

some people said it work some said not work so try as your choice.

do you disable gps if you don't use it?
in official froyo and officeal gingerbread (v20l)
gps need to be enable on boot if you want good signal , otherwise you will always lose it
so try this
enable gps
reboot phone
turn on mobile data ( no wifi !)
open your gps app
I got my first fix in about 30 secs (cold start)
second on in 5 sec

Same problem as some of us had with previous leaked GB roms. Topogigi fixed the problem by tweaking service.jar file, that's the only thing I know. He talked about way of calling hardware that was wrong and explained that after a lock the GPS vanished..
You should search in Topogigi thread, there is a workaround in the beginning pages that could work (setting a new server in hidden menu).
That's why I'll stay with my ROM for now... It is perfectly working.

+1 from me, davjan. Seems to work for me. Thanks.

+1 here! Thanks for your trick davjan,works!

This worked for me!, however the srs level for each sat is not greater then 40 for some reason :S

I'm also experiencing this: as soon as the GPS gets a fix, the gps device itself seams to disappear. The Nav-app does get a valid location for one second and then the gps icon disappears.
This problem was not present in 10D and it does seem to happen when I activate the GPS later. If I boot with GPS enabled, the problem doesn't seem to occur.
Can this be fixed with the custom Jar file from Topogigi? Or is that for a different problem (no fix at all or something else - I do get a fix quickly but the GPS device seems to disappear then).
If so, how can I install it on my stock 20L? Some post talks about mounting a folder. How can I do that? I guess I need to root first and then use some kind of program on my pc or....?
I'm sorry if this has been covered before but I'm new to all this and there is so much information and a lot is hard to understand if you're new to this.

Let me gues..you deleted the services.jar and put the downloaded ZIP file in the framework folder without unpacking/renaming the file to services.jar ??
These are basic things to check but this could better be mentioned in the thread...

Actually no. I copy/paste the unziped jar file using esfile explorer. Got a message files were merged. Then bootloop.
Tried with the help of thansen to recover the file via clockwokmod but that didnt work aswell. So I reflashed the v20l kdz and rerooted.

Just simplify set /system/framework folder into RW mode then delete the old one and then copy the file that extract from zip file into /system/framework then change file permission to 644 (rw-r--r--) --> reboot OR
Here the method from origin
1- Just mount your "/system/framework" folder writeable.
2- Then overwrite the existing "services.jar" with the attached one.
3- Reboot your phone and your gps will get its fix in only some seconds.

Enabling Facebook Contact Sync In CM10/AOSP ROMs

Many users are frustrated by 4.0.3+ AOSP ROMs, as from Android ICS & JB AOSP ROMs there is no Facebook Contacts SYNC.
Well after much drooling and browsing I finally found a way to enable this.:victory:
As stated on website --> http://niranjanthilak.com/facebook-sync-for-android-ics-devices/
and on --> http://www.modaco.com/page/news/_/a...sync-in-ice-cream-sandwich-r140#commentsStart
So, go on at these websites and try youself.:good:
Here, I'm Attaching a modded "ContactsProvider.apk" file that i used, in my CM10 ROM (dated:20121014)
FYI :: First rename file "root//system/app/ContactsProvider.apk" to "ContactsProvider.bak", then delete or rename "root//data/data/com.android.provider.contacts/databases/contacts2.db". Now copy provided "ContactsProvider.apk" to "root//system/app" folder, change permission to 644 and restart the device wait some time for data to sync.
P.S. :; I'm not responsible for data loss, do this on your gut.
Thnkx
If one doesnt wanna share their info with third party apps like HaxSync or FBcontactsync.
There is a great app and info about how to make it by Recognized Developer Deadknight.
Here is the link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731298

No go for me. How did you modify your apk file? When I baksmali'd mine, I didn't see a res/variables folder at all like was suggested in the original guide on how to do this. Tried adding it, but ended up with the same thing I get from your file - FC's and no contacts

Thanks. I tried both the given file and the steps. No go.

Haha I never tried it but yeah ... You should stay here and wait for OP's reply though .

have you changed the permission to 644 thats -rw-r--r--
Sent from my GT-I9100G

Just to be sure .. before doing above step try switching off wifi and data network, and remember to change permission, thn restart
Sent from my GT-I9100G

so:
1) rename original
2) disable all data (airplane mode)
3) delete contacts2.db
4) paste new file in and set permissions.

Sadly, still no good. get FC's in all my apps that use contacts.

You can't just use the modified apk...instead, using the guide and make the necessary changes...the modded apk was not for every ROM...
Ok...to add some details:
For ContactsProvider APK, the file
in question is res/values/arrays.xml
To gain access to this, you must decompile with apktool, not baksmali...

The file provided was for CM10, was it not? I'm running CM10 - the only difference is I'm actually on a Galaxy S3. I've tried with the guide but have met with similar ends.
Only difference is - when I tried manually I did not set my file permissions to 644.

Working like charm mate ...
Thanks a lot ...
I have GT-I9100G
The contacts synchronized smoothly but their pics and birthday aren't synchronized...
ROM : CodeBox 1.6.0 Official
Kernel : Horsepower 3.1.0-Fuss

Hmm...I'm not sure whether all cm system apps will work on any phone...May have certain dependencies...that's why i asked you too mod yourself...did you modify the database (2nd step) or just merely the first step? And by the way, all system apps must have their permissions set to 644 or rw-r--r--...

I thought this one required you to simply delete your contacts2.db instead of modifying it, no?

Thanks guys. I'm going to try this. I've been trying to use the xdaAutoTool wrapper for apktool, and I'm not 100% sure I'm doing it right.
What do I need to do to make sure that it loads the correct framework-res.apk for resource dependencies? I did "install other" and pointed it to the file, but it says "No Framework installed".
If someone could point me to a guide for raw apktool that includes signing the apk (which I understand I must do) and loading a framework dependency, that would work too. Thanks in advance!

Xperia TX Jelly Bean - Possible solution to wifi connexion issues

Hey,
So after updating the Xperia TX to JB, i have noticed that there is an issue with wifi connexions, meaning that the phone will no longer connect to some access points of software access points (connectify, virtual router, etc...). After entering WPA key, it just says connecting then goes back to previous state.
I fiddled a bit with this and finally compared wlan .ini files from ICS and JB.
If you are having the same problem, a small modification to the .ini file might solve the problem...well in my case it did.
Please note that you need root access to modify this file.
1) Mount system folder as writable using your file manager or root explorer
2) Navigate to /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima
3) Make a backup of WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
4) Open WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini and look for g11dSupportEnabled=1
5) Modify it to g11dSupportEnabled=0 and save the file
6) Power off your wifi and Power on again
7) Forget the SSID you've had issues to connect to and try to connect again
and you should be good to go.
To understand the g11dSupport property please refer to here - from wikipedia
if the above did not work, there is another property which has changed:
gEnableFWRssiMonitoring=1 in JB was gEnableFWRssiMonitoring=0 in ICS
You may wanna try that.

works on tx build .67
before i changed this damn 1 to 0 i couldn't connect to my wireless modem !
but now its ok.
tnx:good:

great it worked!! pressed thanks..
i tried with ex file manager, it couldnt save the script.. then used root browser.. did the trick..
if i unroot, i will loose this fix?

Make sure you have root access and that system is mounted as R/W
If you have root, you can usually remount in your file manager application (File Manager or ES explorer). Check in settings

There must be something wrong with your RW access if you cannot modify the file.
Try this:
1) Copy the said file to your SD card
2) Connect your phone as Mass Storage
3) Using and Editing software like Notepad ++ open the file and make the changes and save the file
4) Go back to your File Manager and rename the existing file (the one in the root folder)
5) Copy the modified file from your SD card to the correct location
If copying or renaming the file fails, means you dont have Read/Write access to the root folder.

I am also using xperia tx and although my wifi doesnt disconnect , it really makes my phone lag a lot while I am using wifi...should I also try this method ?

If you have root access you may try it. Though i don't know if it will solve it. The wifi problems are very eratic. Most of the issues depend on the access points being used and their settings.
Try it and keep us posted.
Don't forget to make a backup of the file before modifying.

[Q]ARHD : no ringtones/alarms/notifications

Hello everyone,
So I've been using ARHD on my phone for some time now, but I have this issue happening with the latest version : after a reboot the phone would reset all sound settings to default (default ringtone/notification sound), so I'd have to set them again from the lists in settings. But after another reboot, the system would not find any ringtone/alarms/notification in the lists anymore (although they're on the SD card if I check with root explorer) and it's using a single default sound for everything.
I've checked the locations of the files : they're at sdcard/alarms (/notifications, /ringtones), but it seems the system can't see or find them.
And I tried wiping/reflashing the rom several times.
Also I'm using ROM Cleaner and supercharge scripts.
Any suggestions guys ?

Mike once said that it wasn't just a ROM problem. The official HTC ICS 4.0.4 also has this problem and ARHD was directly based of it that so....

I was about to post as I have the same issue. Fixing permissions in 4ext solved the problem. Its strange, ARHD 3.X and 4.X didn't have this problem. Perhaps Mike should have added this issue/solution to the FAQ at the start of the ARHD thread.

This is a persistent problem. I have to fix permissions in recovery everytime I reboot otherwise the media server doesn't find any audio files on the sdcard.

Working screen mirroring on rooted devices

Note: This solution only works on MK2 (4.3)
I have been researching a problem I have had on my SPH-L720 with custom ROMs where screen mirroring with my Samsung TV would not work. Based on a thread I found, I have solved my problem and wanted to share with others who may have a similar problem.
In my searching, I stumbled upon this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50597640
The OP of that thread had several applications that he froze, and made some changes to the Build prop file, and the WFDConfig.Xml file. In the end, I only made one change to the WFDConfig.Xml file, and my screen mirroring started working.
1. Edit /system/etc/WFDConfig.Xml, and make the following change:
Code:
<HDCPValid>0</HDCPValid>
2. Reboot phone, and profit!
My setup is MF9 bootbootloader, NAE baseband, Negalite MK2 ROM.
If I have time this weekend, I will upgrade to Negalite NAE ROM, and test it there.
I take no credit for this solution, and credit the original thread above.
Hope this helps someone!

What program did you used to edit this? sorry noob here

Wow, thanks...I've been looking for a solution to this for awhile too. I made the changes on my stock rooted MK2 phone, and mirroring works great!

I copied the file to my PC and used notepad++ to do the edit. Then copied the file back to the system/etc folder on the phone. You'll need root and a root-enabled file manager to write to the system folder. I used Root Browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree), but there are several apps that will work.

There are a couple of different ways to edit the file. For me, I used Root Explorer, navigated to the file, long pressed the file name, a menu came up and I chose 'Open in Text Editor'. From there it asked if wanted to mount the filesystem as r/w, I chose yes, edited the file, and saved it.

I couldn't find this line in my file, were you on Kit Kat or JellyBean?

For some reason I don't have that line in my WFDConfig.xml, I am on Baseband NAE, Negalite-wonderom-nae-r11, MF9 Bootloader. Any ideas?

I just upgraded my phone to the exact same setup. When I look at the config file for NAE, it is a little different. But, I *think* the correct change would be:
Code:
<ContentProtection>
<Valid>1</Valid> [B]<------- Try changing this to 0[/B]
<Version>WFD_HDCP_2_1</Version> <!-- Valid values WFD_HDCP_2_0 and WFD_HDCP_2_1 -->
<CPPort>6789</CPPort>
<EncryptAudio>0</EncryptAudio> <!-- Valid values 0 / 1 to indicate Audio encryption or not -->
</ContentProtection>
I have made that change to my phone, but I am at work now so I will not be able to test this until later this evening. I will post my results when I get home.

The fix in the OP is for 4.3 Jelly Bean. I just upgraded to 4.4 KitKat, and will have to test my theory on which setting to change when I get home.

Thank you!!! worked !!
man i was breaking my head on this one.. and soft bricked the phone a couple times trying to fix this, and to think the fix was so damn easy! :good::good::good:

Well, bad news on NAE (4.4.2) - the fix does not work. Under <ContentProtection>, I tried setting <Valid> to 0. When I mirror, I get a black screen with a message that says "Unable to enable Screen Mirroring. HDCP is not supported by the connected device" I can hear the sound from the phone on the TV, but no picture.

I just updated the OP that this only works with 4.3. I have gone back to Negalite MK2 ROM, and plan to stay there until a solution for NAE is found.
Does anybody have any other ideas on how to make screen mirroring work in 4.4.2?

Well i did update to NAE and tested the "contentprotection" value to 0 , also changed the name from Valid to HDCPValid and nothing , the TV says " the dive supports HDCP ? " or something like that .
under Developer options on KK now has HDCP checking settings. Tested all 3 options with Valid=0 and valid=1 and nothing.
