highme posted:Also, has anybody heard of any weird GPS bugs where distance is not recorded well? When using navigator etc., things work fine. But if I'm using a GPS tracker like Endomondo the distance traveled is about 10x the actual distance. I've tested out both Endomondo and RunTracker Pro and they both do the same fuckery, so I can assume it's nothing to do specifically with Endomondo. Plus there's about 7 posts on their bug tracker (getsatisfaction.com) about it with no response from them. Edit: by "a few pages back" I mean a few pages back in the non-rooted Android thread.

I just saw a simmilar issue today. I ran 4.6 miles based on previous runs, same route, and my phone reported 51.x miles. This is on cm-10.1-20121226-nightly. I don't think I've tracked anything in GPS other than navigation since upgrading to 10.1. Tracking using strava run.

All of the other submitters on the Endomondo bug tracker also seem to be using 10.1, though I'm curious as to what exactly could be responsible for a bug like this, since I've verified using other applications that 1) it's not a GPS accuracy issue (+/- 6-9ft) it's not a speed issue, velocity is being reported accurately and it's not a time issue. If v = d/t and v, d and t are all accurate it stands to reason that there shouldn't be a lower level (OS) issue but an error with the way the program is interpreting the information that it's receiving. Except it's more than one workout tracking program that exhibits the exact same problem. So basically the entire situation doesn't make sense.

Does anyone have any experience with the Tegra 3 HTC One X?  I have just rooted my HTC One X and tried to install a CM10 nightly on it. Everything was looking OK (I got ClockWorkMod Recovery installed and all that) and I flashed the newest nightly (cm-10-20130103-NIGHTLY-endeavoru). It booted up, and the CyanogenMod boot screen came up but eventually it stopped spinning and just froze there. I shut down the phone by holding the power button and turned it back on again but then it wouldn't get past the HTC splash screen (which comes up before the CM screen). I tried clearing the cache with fastboot erase cache and reinstalling CM10 and all that. I have followed directions from the CM nightly thread on XDA and this YouTube video but I am still getting stuck on the HTC screen. I also tried restoring my Nandroid backup but it gets stuck at the same point again. Do I have any options other than trying to flash an RUU? I don't have any other ROMs on my phone and I can't get any others on there due to the lack of SD card. Is there anything I can do? It was running Jelly Bean when I rooted it and I can't find an RUU for this (my carrier is Optus [Australia], the software number was 3.14.980.27 and the HBOOT version is 1.36). Will an ICS RUU (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Optus_AU_1.29.980.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260560_signed) install or will it not work? I hope this is fixable, ugh. Thanks in advance

Nexus 4 kernel report: I flashed Franco r26 last night. My total overnight wakelock went from 2-3 hours down to 20 minutes, and specifically msm_hsic_host went from ~90 mins down to three. Battery drain was about three percent rather than 10+, and Android OS is way down the usage list instead of being top. So I'm pretty please with that and I'd certainly recommend it to other N4 owners that are getting annoying wakelocks. In terms of screen on time, I'm hopefully for a small improvement from Android OS being lower but not expecting much. Journey to work this morning seemed to use about ~5% less but that's not very scientific so we'll have to see. david puddy posted:I have just rooted my HTC One X and tried to install a CM10 nightly on it.

It shouldn't be anything like that long these days, but it could be. If the boot animation freezes then it probably isn't still booting but do give it a decent chance. Edit: The good way to look at this is that as long as you can get to bootloader and/or recovery then your phone is not dead (hardware problems aside, but this certainly doesn't sound like a hardware problem).

ExcessBLarg! posted:"/storage/emulated/0" is your real internal storage now. Well, that's not entirely true, but it's good enough. Why are all the links there? Does this mean we can clear out (delete the poo poo out of) any of the links or are they there for some specific reason? Just as long as we don't delete "storage/emulated/0" ..? I'm on a Gnex so don't actually have a physical SD card but there's a directory that represents that as well. (sdcard0 I think? or mnt/sdcard.. ahhh confusing!)

give me thread posted:Why are all the links there? give me thread posted:Does this mean we can clear out (delete the poo poo out of) any of the links or are they there for some specific reason? give me thread posted:I'm on a Gnex so don't actually have a physical SD card but there's a directory that represents that as well. (sdcard0 I think? or mnt/sdcard.. ahhh confusing!) So here's what's going on, kind of. In the old old days of Android there were two kinds of storage. There was application-private storage in /data/data, that (simplified) could only be read by the app, and was intended for things like preferences and configuration and stuff. That storage was also on a gross-small NAND flash chip, possibly only a few hundred MB or so large. The second kind of storage was bulk media storage, shared across all apps, in /sdcard, which was usually an actual microSD card you could insert and remove from the phone. So apps were written to store preferences in their private (/data) storage space, and put all media content, or frankly just "large files" in /sdcard since that was the only place they could fit. Of course this didn't really work. The app-private storage space was far too small, but thankfully raw NAND chips were replaced with hefty eMMC controllers with plenty of space, part of which became the "internal SD card". Around this same time, Nexus devices (the Nexus S) dumped external SD cards entirely, but the distinction between app-private (/data) storage, and bulk media (/sdcard) persisted. Then things really went to poo poo. First, the division between /data and /sdcard became too cumbersome, so they got merged in a weird way that allows them to be the same physical space, but to provide both private and shared storage capabilities. Second, phones started shipping with both internal and external storage. Third, USB OTG support allows folks to plug in external USB drivers, multiple even! And finally, Android is now providing multiple user/profile support including distinct storage spaces. Providing all the above features while maintaining backwards compatibility with old apps is what led us into this mess. And frankly, it's probably just that the apps themselves want to maintain compatibility with Android 2.x because that's what over half of Android phones are actually running. But yeah, for your purposes you can play around with /storage/emulated/0 in a file browser, and if your phone has a microSD slot, /storage/sdcard1. Otherwise just leave everything else alone.

T-mobile SGH-T999: Looks like I did a bad thing. I was confused about why CyanDelta wasn't updating past the 12/15 or so nightly so I went to the CM website and downloaded the latest nightly. Turns out that was the nightly for CM10.1. Well it wiped my IMEI but I managed to get that injected back in. However, I'm having some radio issues. For whatever reason, I'm only getting EDGE service. I've updated CWM(irrelevant I guess, but worth saying), and I flashed the latest radio I could find which was T999UVDLJA. It seems there are people on XDA using CM10.1 and getting HSPA+ speeds just fine. Anyone have any ideas or are my options basically A) Wait for a nightly to come along and fix it or B) Wipe and reinstall CM10? Thanks.

I'm finally going to update my Samsung Galaxy SII SGH-T989 (T-Mobile) to ICS but before I do, I wanted to backup everything on the phone (including some save game data that can't be backed up unless rooted). So this means I need to root the phone and thus, have arrived at this thread. The OP is a bit dated (and the poster banned), but I've gone through a number of the links therein to see if I can find what I need to get the job done. I've also googled up some alternative things as well. After doing that, I wanted to post in this thread to see if someone could tell me I'm on the right track, or to stop what I'm doing before I ruin my phone and lose all the data on it I was hoping to save in the first place! So here's where I am now: The XDA post about SuperOneClick (mentioned in the OP) has been searched for "SGH-T989" and six posts came up. A couple of them indicated that this application does, in fact, root the SGH-T989 without issue. However, a few of the others mention that if you've taken an over the air update to a later version (which I have; I'm currently on version 2.3.6 according to the About Phone page) it won't work. Is this a lost cause? Will trying this and it not work just "not work" or will it brick the device? The other method I've found is here: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-newworks-on-all-galaxy-s2-variants/ which appears to use some custom app that just roots the phone without the need to install a custom ROM or anything. Anyone have any experience with this method? Essobie fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Jan 5, 2013 |

ExcessBLarg! posted:Check your preferred network mode setting (Settings -> More... -> Mobile networks -> Network Mode). It probably should be on "GSM/WCDMA preferred", but if it ended up on "GSM only" then you'd only get EDGE. I checked and I was on GSM/WCDMA preferred already. The other two options I have are LTE/GSM/WCDMA and LTE/WCDMA. I tried to switch between the other two a few times but nothing seemed to improve. Once when I switched to LTE/GSM/WCDMA it started doing the normal 3g/h+ switching thing but my signal was really inconsistent, my bars would fluctuate between 3 and none. When I rebooted again it just went back to EDGE only.

Am I blind, or does my CM 10.1 not passively listen for when I say " Google" in the Google now app? I don't use it regularly but it's great when driving and for party tricks. Do only official ROMs have it? I don't even see the option and I swear it was there.

A reminder to all you Nexus 4 people on Franco: the thing that's giving you extra battery life (the fix for the msm_hsic_wakelock) causes data to drop frequently and has been reverted in CM10.1 as of today. But it's definitely true that a phone that can't do anything does extremely well on battery.LiquidRain posted:Am I blind, or does my CM 10.1 not passively listen for when I say " Google" in the Google now app?

Reverting those fixes seems to correct the intermittent data drops so that's what they've done. I don't know what Franco is going to do with regards to it.

Do you have any special CPU clock settings in place? It's a fairly common occurrence that if the CPU is set too low when the screen is off that it won't be able to compensate fast enough to wake up properly.

The CPU Governor was set to Interactive, so I'm not sure. I thought I had it set on Conservative, which I thought might be the problem, but I guess not. I changed it to Conservative anyway so maybe that'll magically fix it somehow.

I purchased an Enco B046 Android-powered head unit for my car, and there are some things I'd love to be able to fix, if I could somehow acquire root access. Most importantly, the GPS functionality. Here's what I know about it: 1. It's a Telechips TCC8925 2. It only has one USB port (Female-A), and it appears to be Host-only. Hooking up a Male-A to Male-A cable between it and a PC, the PC doesn't detect anything on the other end. Hooking up an OTG cable between it and another Android device, it tries to mount the other Android as mass storage. 3. It has Busybox on it. Not sure if that's exploitable in some fashion. 4. It runs 4.0.4 It's very similar to this: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/36988-cx-01-cortex-a5/ I can't connect to it via USB and control it with ADB, which eliminates all of the ways to root the device that I have come across. The most important thing that I need to do is to update the framework.jar, as it suffers from an incorrect GetSpeed function that throws off pretty much every GPS application. It's calculating my land speed at 1.852% of the actual speed. I have fixed the error, and repackaged the framework.jar, but to updated it, alas, I need root access. Does anyone know of a way to gain root via an Android application, or maybe a Busybox exploit of some sort? It's a shot in the dark, but without some sort of physical connectivity, I'm at a loss.
