It is quite random when I actually check. Today I checked early morning (around 0700, CET), often it is not available much before noon. And sometimes I forget to check until the evening or even the next day. To check I just finds and refreshes an open tab for https://download.lineageos.org/pro1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thodin 5 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 BTW, I had to install opengapps "mini" to use Android Auto in my car with Lineage 17.1, it was not working with pico. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's still broken in 20210329, only for me apparently, which makes me think that my phone is borked. The only big thing I did the last few days was disassembling and reassembling the phone. Is there an "external" antenna in the case, to which the Bluetooth chip connects? Or is said antenna on the mainboard? The headphones connect to the phone, and I was able to re-pair them. They are actually shown as "active" when I chose the audio stream. One other thing I notices is that I also cannot control the volume of internal speaker directly with the volume buttons. The buttons work fine, but they control the caller volume instead of the media volume. Well well, I bought myself another SD-card and reactivated my Moto Z Play as a media player. I guess I will fade out my Pro1 slowly ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marmistrz 93 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Is there any way to improve the speed of getting a GPS fix? Today I was walking in the city 3 hours ago and it took the phone about 10 minutes to get a fix. The previous fix was 3 or 4 days ago in the same city. The device quickly discovered some GLONASS satellites. After 3-4 minutes it discovered a couple of GPS satellites, but was still not enough to get a fix. I'm located in Poland. It looks like it's an issue with cold fixes, because right now I'm getting an immediate GPS fix. (the previous fix 3 hours ago) Edited April 9, 2021 by marmistrz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
claude0001 1,352 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) In LineageOS 16 I could vastly improve the locking speed by the following edits in /system/vendor/etc/gps.conf: [...] 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 [...] XTRA_VERSION_CHECK=1 [...] NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org [...] INTERMEDIATE_POS=1 [..] SUPL_HOST=supl.vodafone.com SUPL_PORT=7275 [...] I am also in Europe (Germany) and at times could not get a fix at all (even after waiting for hours) with the default settings of LineageOS 16. Since I made that edit, GPS fixes are very fast. Note that the "INTERMEDIATE_POS" bit is optional: It causes the location service to report even very early position estimates based on mobile network towers only. That estimate can however be wrong by many kilometers, so not all people like it. I find the option helpful if you travel a lot and often switch on the GPS very far from the last fix. As you may have guessed, you need root access for this hack. Also, remember that you need to remount / read-writable temporarily. The config will probably not survive OTA updates, so better make a backup once you have found a setting that works for you.

marmistrz 93 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) I'll check if it helps, thanks! Is there any reason why some of these changes are not in the official LineageOS? The relevant file is https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_fxtec_pro1/blob/lineage-18.1/configs/gps/gps.conf I can submit a change to LineageOS gerrit if it's the only reason.

Is there any reason why some of these changes are not in the official LineageOS? The relevant file is https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_fxtec_pro1/blob/lineage-18.1/configs/gps/gps.conf I think some things regarding AGPS are left blank on purpose in LineageOS, as using such services potentially reveals your location to the server operators, which may be seen as a privacy issue. Even disregarding this, from what I read on the internet, the optimum settings depend on what region of the world you are in. So maybe there is no one-size-fits-all config anyway. I found this config on some German Android user-forum and did not really check if it is truly optimal. The new settings certainly helped (a lot) in my case, but you may find even better ones for Poland by experimenting a little ... Hope it will help.

marmistrz 93 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I looked at `gps.conf` for OnePlus 3 and it has similar changes in the LineageOS source tree. [1] I'll create a code review to make a similar change for Pro1 next week. cc @tdm [1] https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_oneplus_oneplus3/blob/lineage-18.1/gps/etc/gps.conf 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
claude0001 1,352 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) So I get the setting improved things on your phone too? I now somehow regret not to have stressed the follwing from the beginning: Fully enabling AGPS (which I believe these settings do) enhances the functionality of GPS at the cost of privacy! There are valid arguments for having AGPS disabled by default in LineageOS and leaving it to the individual user to opt-in. See e.g. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/keep-a-gps-supl-disabled-upon-rom-install.3612024/ However, I am not in charge. Go ahead with submitting a patch if you feel you must. 🙂 Edited April 9, 2021 by claude0001 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dreamflasher 120 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 How long will there be updates for LOS 17.1? 18.1 still has a bunch of bugs for me, so I am considering a downgrade. But somewhere I read that LOS doesn't retrieve updates for old versions. Is there any policy on that? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
