KitKat compass problem - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
this is my first post so I cannot write (yet) in development thread.
I have installed CM 11.0 w/Espresso10++ 3.0.101. Compass was not working at all with 7-12 version, and now with 13-12 it turnsa around, but it is giving wrong position all the time. Anyone other with similar problems? Any solutions? My device is P3100.
Calibration (=rotation in all 3 axes) did not work.
Thank you in advance

brother cm 11 is still in initial stages so such problems will occur for sure so sit with your fingers crossed and see when it gets better and better
also write about this issue in cm11 thread
the dev will definitely think about the bug and will try to solve it

Of course, I am just curious if only I have this problem. As i mentioned, I still cannot write in CM11 dev topic (<10 posts).
Other than compass, bugs that I experience are:
- dialpad won't show when I click on it (I have to click once again)
- ES file explorer does not recognize sdcard1 as an external card (works on stock)
Everything other works perfectly. I am extremely satisfied with this ROM. I use compass daily so I would like to hear feedback from the other users.
Thank you in advance

It´s a know Problem and Cody is working on the Compass problem
CodyF86 said:
(...)Ok so the geomagnetic sensor seems to be oriented, so that you can get a correct heading from it,
but for now you will have to select the option in the compass app you use to disable the accellerometer
as most app use it in conjunction with the geomagnetic sensor to help compensate for movement.
I didn't get to mess with the rotation for the accell sensor but I will play with that next.
I tested with the app called smart compass, Go into settings and scroll to the bottom
there is an option for the accellerometer, uncheck it and you can get a compass reading.
If the app starts in a weird orientation you can select settings then landscape mode to change
the orientation of the app.
(...)
I still need to mess with the accellerometer setting; This is with the opensource sensor drivers,(...)

For ES file explorer does not recognize sdcard1 as an external card (works on stock):
Report it to ES Team too.

sd card problem is there
dont worry will be solved soon

Compass works if you tell it to not use the accellerometer for now. Might have to use an app that gives
you that option. Also the problem is the the ES app. File manager HD works fine. ES has done that since
10.2. Use file manager hd it works fine, es doesn't seem to want to fix it.

[Q] MIUI v4 doubts

Hello,
I post my doubts here because I can not write in the development subforum yet, and I have several questions about this great ROM.
I've been using it since MIUI v4 was published and I have some questions that I have not managed to solve, because they are problems that in the official MIUI ROM are solved, but in my g3 not, and I have not found references to this problems in the forum.
- Can I change the icons? I find no where I can do it.
- How will the problem of preview of the camera? Today comes the build 2.4.6 MIUI and in this there is no problem, and there are programs that I need to use it and do not work because of this problem.
- When I connect my g3 to my pc whit the data cable, my pc din't see it. I have the "Debug mode when USB is connected" activate. It's a bug or I have to do something special to fix it?
- I can't use any other ringtone than the ones that comes whit the ROM. I can select any song of my SD, but it's like selecting "none" as ringtone. How can I change it?
- Why don't you delete the torch app that it's useless in the g3?
Finally I have to say congratulations to all the developers for a great job. It's amazing what you are doing!!! Than you!!
Sorry for my bad english.
me too like miui alot
- use opre 1.2 for usb connection it works really good
- camera preview is a bug which is yet to be fixed so be patient
-about the ringtones i too have the same problem which is also will be fixed ,message and notification works fine but ringtones does not work properly gives me a head ache
-you can delete the torch application , may be in next build they will do it
- you can change the icons themes-customize-icons ,but i dont think you can change an individual icon like we do in launchers ,call icon is going to be fixed in the next build or hotfix
-devs are on it you just need to be paitent and if you cant try someother rom until they standardise it ,and hope for the best
Thank you very much sudersanmurthy ,
I know that this are minor "bugs" in a ROM, but there are no cuestions about it in the post of the MIUI v4, so I don't know if this are only a problem of my g3 or of the ROM, and I only want to help the developers to make the better ROM for our g3. I've tried other ROMs, even final versions, and are more instable than this one!!
So I wait till the end of t... well, the time the developers need, of course
No probs its good to see this thread anyway beacause i too cant post it on dev section yet so this makes people like us discuss about the doubts

If you have a force close with the miui gallery ! uncheck the installation from unknown resources and then try to open miui gallery ,because i ahd FC when restoring from titanium and Play store never opened always FC , after unchecking all worked fine i dont know why
So when i use titanium i have to lift the ban for unknown resource and i get the error " package installer has stopped unexpectedly " but it restores the application though
Can somebody tell me how good is the video playback, video playing on this rom?

Disable pin lock. They did something since build 3 which causes it to not detect it if you have a pin.

I have always checked the installation from unknown resources, because I use Titanium more than the phone.apk!! and I never can use the Play store, always FC, so I install the app from the PC, or restore it with the titanium, and I have the same error that you say, and Titanium restore the application anyway.

So, I want to know what is the apk that I have to restore to have my data connection. I know the APN configuration of my operator, and create it, but this isn't the solution. Thank you
I want to know how much does the theme work
For me if i apply a theme only the icon and lockscreen changes nothing else changes and if i apply some themes the icons are not properly placed hope they fix this soon because i love miui because of its cool and clean interface but the devs have important things to fix other than themes anyway i really appreciate their work but cant wait to see the hotfix ,hope the communication gets fixed soon

You should first reboot your phone after applying the theme and see if that helps.

[APP]Smart Stay Ex

Hi guys I found this app was up for beta testing here at XDA developed by elnoxvie, its similar to Smart Stay & works on GB ROMs too. I'm posting it here so that if any there are any compatibility problems with our handset it could be ironed out by the developer.
- Go to the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708012
- Get the latest beta & test it on your R.
- Report on the same thread your observations & problems you faced.
- Beta testers will get a discount.
The app is out of Beta & is available at the Play store. I have done beta testing for the app with my stock GB ROM, it was working fine & Galaxy R has been granted support. But it may not work on some custom ROMs.
Here are links:
1. SmartStay Ex Lite
2. SmartStay Ex Pro
Cheers!
Bro I read you wrote there that it is working for you but it is not for me on NEO ROM 2.1!!
I can only hear Stupid camera clicks and the screen goes off even if i am watching it.
I hope you be the Representative there and Report all the issues faced so that we can get a Nice Working Release !:angel:

You'll have to report yourself cause he may try to understand your problem & ask you submit logs which only you can do.
So I'll request everyone to post your observations after testing it in the original thread as it'll help the developer in making it fully compatible with our device.
Ehhh !! i installed this app, but how do i know whether this is working or not, i can only hear camera clicks !!
I've installed it for some minutes. I think that you need to restart the phone after installing the app, but, first, enable the boot option inside it.
I suppose that those clicks are real photos been taking by the phone, I also hear it... just a bug. The app is trying to analyze the face and it's searching for the eyes.
If you want to try it, set the display timeout to 15s (in phone's settings), turn on your room's light and put the mobile to a reasonable distance from your face, you'll see that it doesn't switch off the screen, after this, just leave it far from you and, if everything is ok, it should go to sleep in some seconds.
The software need to mature a lot, it consumes tons of CPU time and, eventually, it starts to eat all the ram and CPU, leaving your phone in a semi-freezed mode, I was able to restart it but took some time.
Besides that, it did its function, it kept the display on while I was watching at it, and afterwards it put it to sleep.

By sending a log you are sending some sensitive information to this app's developer. I think this is how it's done though I'm not 100% sure:
- First download & install the new v1.4 of the app.
- Now start /open the app, after clicking on 'OK' lock your device once by pressing the lock key.
- Now click on 'Send Logs' in the app. It'll ask you to download & install a log collector app so install it & open it.
- Next Tick 'Debug' and go through the process of running the app when you are facing the front Cam with some distance between you & your front Cam so as to let it try to detect your face. Now let it run once when you do not face the front Cam.
- Next Click on Send logs once again then click on OK.
- It'll then allow you to Email the log to this app's developer.
- If the app works then don't send the logs.
Hope this helps. Cheers !
App is out of Beta & it's available for download at the Play store. Check OP for the links & more info.
Cheers !
Thx @ cooleagle
ex lite version works though
it is working
Interesting app, but it fails to recognize in landscape mode. Also uses too much cpu, and phone lags while shooting images.

It does work in landscape mode AFAIR but it's hard to keep your face in the field of view of the front camera in the landscape mode.
Yep you are right about others except the lagging part but that can vary from person to person.
The app is working, however, the shutter sound is very annoying. Just imagine when you fall asleep and suddenly hear that noise.

There's an option to turn off the shutter sound but it's a temporary fix as it switches the handset into 'Silent' mode for the duration of the shutter sound which affects others functions of the handset as well.

WiFi seems to be working fine here.
Did you dirty flash from a different ROM?
Please also check whether there's an updated firmware for your router. We tend to blame the receiving end - phone, tablet, computer - but a good number of times a crappy router firmware is the culprit.

- The LED doesn't seem to work
- Some sensors (e.g. humidity and temperature) work immediately after boot but stop working after the phone goes to deep sleep for some minutes
- In Settings > More > Mobile networks it's still impossible to set a Preferred network type (you can select a network type but it so doesn't stick)
- In Settings > More > Mobile networks you get a crash when selecting Provider settings

There a quite a few apps which can read the humidity and temperature sensors:
- Galaxy S4 Sensors
- Sensor List
- Sensor Readout
- Sensor Sense
- Sensor Test
- Sensors
They are all available on the Play Store.
On a different note, an app which can be very useful if/when you're wearing gloves is Galaxy S4 Glove Mode (it works well on the GN3 with CM11). You'll find it on the Play Store.

just purchased 'weather station pro'
seems very good so far. I recommend others to try it if you are looking for a weather app, with extremely useful logging.
but with this rom the sensors do work and stop when the choose. but the app is good! haha.
Anybody install Pandora successfully? I've wiped the sdcard for a clean install, tried installing the .apk, pushing it to /system/app, tried restoring with titanium, and tried the app store all to no avail lol. Everything else seems great, couple small issues as mentioned but its great to be back on cm!

Google Camera 6.1.009 and newer camera thread

This thread is a starter for the GCAM devs to hopefully provide us a working GCAM for the essential phone based on the new update. As of right now, you need to be on P at a minimum.
YOU NEED TO HAVE LOGCATS FOR HELP How to LOGCAT 101
You can also use a ondevice logcat tool, like matlog. I clear matlog, start it, directly create my problem, go back to matlog, stop it, then sort by "CAM" in this case, so i can see all camera related errors, then save it.
The idea is this.... all of the major gcam devs have the OP6 or something that isn't the essential phone. If we politely tag them, and have a logcat in hand, perhaps we can get support quicker for our device.
OP6 GCAM Thread
THIS IS FOR READING PURPOSES ONLY, DO NOT SPAM THEIR THREAD WITH REQUESTS, THERE WILL BE FM ACTION IN DOING SO
here is the link for @Arnova8G2 first beta
BETA 1
Hopefully, this will help get the ball rolling. Once i get home from work, i will have logcats for slo-mo, and no-hdr later.
If anybody else wants to help, again, please be descriptive with your problem, and provide a good logcat
@Arnova8G2 and @cstark27 (even though I know your moving on)
Here are logs:
1. Slomo crash. Slomo worked on test3, as long as we patch media profile, it works in general
2. No ability to take picture with hdr off
3. Taking a picture with zoom
I know these are already issues by in large. Maybe my logs will help.
Thank you for your help
Luckily for us. We have a pretty versatile phone at this point.

Added newest al-ro build to 3rd post.
I'm curious if you have seen/looked at this before - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/themes/magisk-google-camera-telephoto-lens-t3767531 It's a mod for the Xiomi Mi A1 to be able to use the 2nd rear camera (telephoto) with Google Camera. I haven't tried it yet, kind of afraid to bootloop since it appears specific to the A1 phone. But was curious if what they've done can help get the monochrome camera working on Gcam and other apps in a similar way.
I know you (I think?) had discussed the challenges and limitations of this when asking Essential for support in an AMA in July/August in which Essential basically said "no." But wasn't sure if anything done with the A1 is different than what you've tried.

I spoke to cstark about this with the Nokia 8 ages ago and the basic idea was that if the secondary camera doesn't show up in camera identifier in the Camera2test app then there's literally no way to make this work.

Thats what ive come across as well. Im just curious though.... How is it hidden from apps like this. I know in build.prop there is a aux cam white list for apps. but ive tried adding all the package names...nothing. What are we missing, how does klik camera turn it on....

It does indeed. Great work @Arnova8G2 !
Finally good slow-mo recordings *with* sound available.
Photobooth still mysteriously crashes when first shot is processing.

I still can't get any of these apps to quick launch from a locked ascreen with the power button shortcut. I'm just getting an error message about permissions. Is anyone else getting this or is it something I have installed that's causing the problem?
I logcatted it. Doesn't tell me much of anything unfortunately. Like what permission it wants perhaps.

Happens on my device too. It actually didn't back when using some of the first Arnova8G2's 6.1.x builds (sorry I can't remember which exact versions).
There is a *partial* solution to launching it from lockscreen - wether it is actually locked or not - by simply having the app in memory.. But that's obviously far from ideal.
Was gonna try to gather some (hopefully) helpful logs but.. :

It's really weird.
Using SystemUI Tuner, I can also confirm the very same thing happens when swiping the corresponding lockscreen shortcut.
(OT : By the way, don't know why they were originally removed since adding back phone & camera shortcuts does make the bottom messages corresponding to the targetted function : "swipe right to make a call" & "swipe left to open camera".. something like that anyways)

I can confirm that Photobooth crashes on my PH-1 too. Can anyone provide a logcat to Arnova8G2?
Thank you for this! Much better than the stock essential phone app. Makes my essential that much better.
Is there a source link to al-ro gcam ports??

Oukitel WP7 General Discussion

Greetings to all.
So we have a well-developed topic by model Oukitel WP6:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/oukitel-wp6-discussion-t4112963
but we don't have a topic by model Oukitel WP7 at all, although this phone has similar problems in the firmware - unloading applications from memory by firmware, non-delivery of notifications, etc. I would like to know if it is possible to install an alternative firmware on this model, and how to do it.
Thanks.

If you can unlock the bootloader then I think it's as easy as flashing the GSI using the same method in wp6

It's not the problem with the phone, it's the users . This phone has some hardcore security settings turned on by default. If You configure it properly it will work like any other. For example let's say You want Messenger app always ready to receive new messages. First enable notifications in phone settings then go to the Phone manager app(big shield icon) and to its setting, add messenger to the white list so it wont be killed on lockscreen, also enable autorun for it so it can work all the time.
I'm totally fine with the way it works, it's easier for me to grant the notifications to few important apps than to disable it on all the garbage like shopping apps or games.
Hi. I am interested in this phone. It works fine? Any problem?

What i did
This is a very interesting phone model.
Currently done and fixed:
- Received root on both official firmware, on v16 and v29 (Magisk, pathing boot.img)
- fixed destruction of applications from memory, thanks to instructions from the topic about Oukitel WP6
That, so far, I could not win:
- Forced disabling of notifications from applications when updating from Google Play and another, I do not know how to deal with this.
The latter is very annoying, since you have to follow each update and re-enable notifications.
Perhaps, under the root of the rights, just edit some file to fix this?

Thank you, I read it, I got root rights according to the instructions, I want to stay on my native firmware, fixing the developer's bugs in order to safely use the phone, but I could not defeat the disconnection of notifications from applications when updating

Yes, I did everything, and even more, I was able to overcome the disconnection of wi-fi and bluetooth with a long inactivity.
You're right about the user.
But can you tell me.
How to prevent notifications from turning off when apps are updated in Google Play?

do you mean some apps force close and you won't get notifications when your phone goes off? if that's the case then just TURN OFF the "intelligent power saving" in the settings or from SYSTEM MANAGER APP. if it still kill your background apps then you might need to uninstall the duraspeed app on your phone if it's installed.

Thanks for your reply.
I went through the indicated stages and I got rid of the problem described by you.
I did not delete the DuraSpeed, but turned it off through the ADB and the MacroDroid.
But I mean a completely different problem.
Let's say I install the Viber or Slack application, after installing from Google Play, notifications are turned off by default. OK. I enable them in my notification settings. After a while, these applications are updated, and notifications are disabled in the settings again.
This is the problem I mean.
Hello every body,
There is a built in app named DURASPEED. Open the app third party file explorer and then you can leave the app stay on backround Like message,whatsapp, email and so on that they dont got killed.
Then phone is just awesome
Okey, i see you are allready found that app. Next time need to read more

"The latter is very annoying, since you have to follow each update and re-enable notifications" My phone doesnt have that kind of problem, when i turned notification on they stay on even if the app is updated. Somethin wrong with you?
Volunteers are needed to check the file.
I'm ported from the BV9900 TWRP 3.3.1 in unofficialtwrp.com
It works for me, I think the community will also be useful.

Its not workin
No adb, no usb connect. Can not transfer file via computer to Phone.
Can not mount data & system. If you want them mounted you need to format all but then you can't get any file there.
Maybe if i but sdcard in and try that way. But no time to test today.
Can you used it normal, like it supposed?
I try to flash gsi, but that also doesn't work. Without twrp of course.

Do not worry.
I found what the problem is.
I apologize for the inaccuracy of the wording and wrote that it works, although in fact it just started, loaded, but the functionality is cut down.
The problem is in the mapping and I need several diligent hours to fix it and update it for us.
Thank you for your feedback, this is very important to me.

It looks like it will take a little longer than I expected. I did not take into account the encryption of the partition /data, I read in detail how to overcome it.

I'm wondering, since I started, I achieved some success, in the new version the zip installation works from a connected external flash drive, and I download several dozen de-encrypting modifications, maybe over the weekend it will turn out to sort out and bring the idea to the end, cleaned up the extra ways and made the ADB work in this mode, maybe over the weekend it remains to decipher and then it will be ready for the test.
