[Q] Terriblely inaccurate gps - LG Optimus 2x

I am running stock rom android 2.2 on my optmus 2x and gps is so in accurate compared to my old htc magic. i often go jogging and track it with my phone, but since i switched to the lg i can move the tracked routes to the trash.
gps sets me 10-30 meter next to the track, plots out whole circles i never ran.
i tried trackerbooster which helped alot on the htcmagic but it did not help.
is there any way to fix that?
-dan

try this.
1. Go into the LG hidden menu
2. Go into GPS Test
3. Go into System Settings
4. MOLR Protocol (is set to User-Plane)
5. SULP Setting -> SLP Server Setting, I created a new one for the nokia servers (slp address: supl.nokia.com, port: 7275, no cert and no TLS setting)
6. SLP Auto Provision is activated

What version is your stock ROM? At some point there was a change to the GPS userspace which made a huge difference when it was merged into CM.

Whats lg hidden menu?
Rom Version is V10c

i only know how to do it if you have launcher pro.
you just press and hold on one of the home screens until a menu shows up
take Shortcuts then choose Activities scroll down until you find com.lge.hiddenmenu
tap on it then tap on HiddenMenu. now you have a shortcut on the home screen

GPS inaccuracy was a problem on 10c. It locked/fixed very quickly, but with lack of resolution. 10D fixed this, takes a little longer to get a fix, but it's accurate. I advise you to upgrade.

thats right there is a 10d version i forgot that try to update you mobile first.

Unfortunately 10c is the latest version out for me (Austria/Europe) according to lg customer support.
No updates available :/

I just checked, and 10d is available for all carriers in Austria. Just run/install the LGMobile update tool, and you should be good.
If that does not work, you can always smartflash 10d Europe Open.

Where did you check?

The LGMobile Update tool. I set the country to Austria, and in menu "Customer Support" chose "Supporting Model". Every entry for P990 shows 10d as the latest for Austria.

Only Europe Open shows v10d
Hutchison (my carrier) shows V10c.
So how can i flash EUrope Open V10d on it?
(I have not yet rooted it)

Instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070
NOTE: The instructions are for flashing baseband only. In addition to that, you also need to select the .bin file in "Ap bin"
NOTE2: If you decide to flash and something goes wrong this is YOUR responsibility. I've not yet heard of anyone messing up their phone this way, but there may be a good reason for your carrier not having released 10d. Unless you can find a copy of the ROM you have now, there's no way to go back.

Thank you. Very much appreciated.

[ROMS] Original LG Firmware list

List of all firmware available for P500 (list of codes)
Seems that there is unable to download FW directly anymore, because of updated security policy. Event, when you find URL, it's possible, that will not work, because of "access denied" like here: http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGF240S/ASKTWH/F240S10n_00/F240S10n_00.kdz
Link deprecated. If I will found more, I notify you.
http ://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP500&country=CZ
NOTE: Seems, that there is also possible select your country code, for FW selection. Just add "&country=XX" at the end of url. For example
Code:
http ://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP500&country=GR
will search greek versions of FW.
If you want different type of phone, just replace P500 with your type.
Code:
http ://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP500
Download link is
Code:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/[B]XXXXX[/B]/V10a_00/V10A_00.kdz
where XXXX is code from link above. For example:
I want to original LG firmware for czech republic.
1) Open http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP500
2) In browser I will start search czech/cze and it finds something like
Code:
[B]CDMA LGP500 ACZEBK CZE/CZECHO[/B] - Unbranded FW
[B]CDMA LGP500 ATMCBK TMC/T-MOBILE(CZECHO)[/B] - Branded T-Mobile fw
[B]CDMA LGP500 AVDZBK VDZ/VODAFONE(CZECH)[/B] - branded Vodafone fw
where ACZEBK or ATMCBK or AVDZBK are code for download link.
3) Go to

It's not confirmed, but you can also try V10x for new version of firmware. Maybe it will work, maybe not.
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!
For different version you have to change also path in url!! ex:
Code:
For V10a_00
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/ACZEBK/V10[B]a[/B]_00/V10[B]A[/B]_00.kdz

7) You have all needed information about your firmware. If you have older firmware, just replace some letters in FW link.

Sniffing of communication of LG Update client
If above not working as you expected, you can take a look on communication between client-server.
1) Download and install membrane-monitor
2) Configure it as proxy (LG client gets configuration from your default browser, so just set your browser to connect through membrane-monitor)
3) Turn on filter on lg server (create rule for filtering *lgmobile.com*)
4) Start client
5) Watch messages between client and server. If your LG client works fine, you can get download link for your latest firmware.
For flashing of firmware take a look on Zecanilis's post [HOWTO] Flash original firmware on P500

Seems that the *BK one is the only one that works
A few days ago I downloaded from a link found somewhere on the internet a V10A firmware. the link was for the portughese version. Now i've redownloaded the one from AITABK. the MD5 sum is the same for both the file.
So probably the firmware with the same version revision is the same in all countries, and probably the later revisions is for non-standard country related settings
(sorry for my crappy 'n twisted english )
It seems that there are not every firmware for every country. If you can't download it directly for your country, try look for continent or something. It's hard to say. Possibility to browse folder directly one by one doesn't exist.
It's realy pity. I tryed few links from czech and europe end here every was function so I hoped that every-one will be fine.

in my opinion the many revisions currently released are the same firmware with some minor country related differences... maybe something about the local phone operators
an LG employee wrote in some italian forums that LG will release a firmware in a few weeks (before the end of december he said) that should fix some bugs: the sdcard that unmount and remount random and hopefully the slightly annoying noise on nearly all audio related situations (outgoing calls, ringtone, mp3 player...)
How I can download versions for Chile?
CDMA ??? it says product type - cdma
I am having LG p500 GSM, will it suit this ?
doesn't work for me (Telus Canada) or I didn't find the good information...

I've just tried to flash my Optimus One and after it finishes its stuck in a boot loop, gets to the "Android" screen and won't go any further! I've tried with the Australian and Bulkans ROMs from the above link and same thing, still no good.
Has anyone else experienced this? What else can I try to fix this, I've tried to flash 4 times already, each time there's no difference!!
i had get problem like you, i have found a way to solved it, after you flash your LP One it will turn of your phone, now press Home + Volumn Down + Power, your phone to boot to Android ok.

Guys thanks so much, that worked well! I thought the phone was bricked but it has loaded normally now, I wonder what causes that problem in the first place?
Someone should update the first post with these instructions in case others experience the same issue.
Hello
Could you help me please ? My question maybe stupide, but is anybody could explain me how to flash my phone with the original *.kdz firmware ?
Maybe also make a tuto ?...
I would try to install one of the custom rom on my optimus p500, but I dare not, because I want to be sure I could return easily to the original firmware if I encounter some problems....
Thanks a lot in advance

[Q] LG KU5900 updated, crashed and...

long story short....
i received a unit from a friend in korea (version with the olleh logo).
LG KU5900, updated using LGs downloadable updater, my mistake is that i didnt read up on the "proper procedure" of updating this one unit.
options on updating, i changed the country to my local (philippines). then proceeded with updating, about 3-5% it crashed while flashing it.
i tried using v10a as alternative, managed to flash it somewhat successfully, but lo and behold, no IMEI, no GSM signal.
i was wondering this unit only and will only accept v20l in its general function? or im sure i did or didnt do something right.
i used KDZ updater with the windows enable and whatnots.
im hoping this unit still has a chance of being reflashed to its former glory with a signal on it.
any ideas, opinions, suggestions, advices for a flash tool that will render this functional once more?
here's where the unit at.
functional, boots up, wifi bluetooth gps works. before that eventful update, the phone works, call and all, i can receive sms but cant send one.
what doesnt work. local gsm network (wcdma, i think). since when i flashed this, i left the kdz updater type on CDMA since there's no gsm/wcdma option to boot.
questions of mine...
can this be flashed using v10a since this is the native for philippines? or do i go back to v20l which is for korea?
which flash tool to use to activate gsm/wcdma?
links to tools? hopefully not megaupload.
guides?
any and all will help.
thank you very much.
ps - been reading up on gabwerk's (did i spell his name right?). on finding a clue to fix this.
pps - flashed this about 4-5 times already, no luck.
tried flashing with 3GQCT, still no luck on having signal.
KU5900 and P970 have different radio roms... Because you flashed P970's firmware, your modem (radio) isn't working.
Flash your phone with KDZU with one of these firmwares.
Or try again to flash in LG Mobile UPdater. It will download correct firmware by your IMEI number.
err yeah, that i did the first time when it crashed. must be compatibility with win 7 64.
KU5900 >> LG updater "country philippines language english" crashed while uncompressing.
already have the korean firmwares, im looking for an updater with a "wcdma or gsm" option on radio types.
so far kdz updater by marwin doesnt have that, only CDMA, 3GQCT, INFINEON, ODM...

You didn`t understand ! if your phone has cdma radio on it you cannot flash gsm or wcdma because radio chip will not accept. There are differences between frecvences.
aye, right now, managed to get it up and running, but somewhat still unstable, i cant download games on it, not even fruit ninja lolz. it kept saying insufficient memory.
Try to do a factory reset, often solves such problems, and if problems persist, try to flash it again.
...
ok guys.
used lge tool from a friend of mine, he fixed the eprom that was causing the initial error on the "no network / no signal" issue.
still on froyo v10a, then updated to v11c using updater, which turns out to be bouy update. now i got a french OS arrrrggggghhhh!!!!
right now, looking for GB update guide.
anyone with pointy ears can point me to the right direction?
ps - anyone got any good pointers on how to use the inactive 5gig? currently splicing v20l for comparisons with 10a and 11c...

[Q] It is safe to goto Euro Open v20a?

Hello,
my phone's build.prop sais:
...
ro.build.target_operator=TMO
ro.build.target_country=DE
ro.lge.swversion=LG-P880-V10h-NOV-19-2012
I bought the phone from a store in Greece and not from an Operator and i use it with Greek Op... When I bought it, about a month ago I did an OTA update to the version 10h...
My questions are:
1) Is it safe to do a manual update with an Euro Open Version or a Greek Version for v20a or i'll have to stay with TMO (which i think it means T-Mobile)?
2) Will that change the operator in my phone and what other changes are made (except from the s/w version changes. for ex does it change the target_country?)?
3) From the store i bought it they said that I have full waranty from LG Hellas for 2 years. If I can and do the update to the Euro Open or Greek V. will I loose the waranty?
4) If I can do the manual update can you provide me a link with the steps to do it?
Thank you very much!
anyone??? please i feel so idiot that i cannot update it!
go to this link, it will open white page, in adress bar after "=" sign at the end just put your IMEI number and hit enter, copy info WITHOUT you phone IMEI and paste here
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=
Regarding your questions:
1. It is safe like you do this with ota or lg tool, every flash have risks
2. No change
3. Yes, and no, if your currently phone software is online aka http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15 and you can download it and flash it then you have no worry about warranty, but if isn't and if you flash v20, and in the meanwhile you need to use your warranty..then you cant go back to latest stock software for you phone and maybe you have problems than..because you cant use recovery phone in lg tools for reverting to stock for two reason: Obviously there isn't jet JB for your region otherwise you would not post these questions, and second if you update manually to v20 only way to reverse to stock is to use different method (downgrading) also included in link above(problem if you dont have matching v10h software if you have some branding apps included). Or you can wait official JB for your phone's region. So check that you can download from internet your currently stock software.
4. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36676469&postcount=1 look here for methods, i use it all including LGFlash tool (this method is not in the list) and never had problems..

1) Software-wise it is safe. It is also possible to go back to LG-P880-V10h-NOV-19-2012 if you want to later.
2) It won't change your operator. Also, your phone should remain linked to Greece (or perhaps Germany as that's in your build.prop) and T-Mobile by IMEI.
3) I don't know whether the T-Mobile version has additional software installed, but it seems likely. They should be able to tell that that software is missing. If you don't have any specific T-Mobile software on the phone they probably cannot tell the difference after you go back to LG-P880-V10h-NOV-19-2012. Of course you can be smart about it and make a CWM-backup + Titanium Backup of ALL your apps so you can restore everything after reinstalling LG-P880-V10h-NOV-19-2012. In that case they cannot tell the difference. Note: You need to then also remove CWM and root after the restore before you send it in for repairs.
4) I preferred this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723.
thank you both!!! very much!!!!

Fortunately, the rom he has is standard, so he just needs to worry about potential extra apps. Root+Titanium backup should cover that, as he can reflash->root->restore all apps+data with Titanium Backup->remove root.
Agree!

Firmware version / update help

So Feeling a bit thick atm.
I just bought 2 of these from Carphone Warehouse in UK yesterday for my kids birthday. They are both Sim Free unlocked, one is blue and one is black
However they are both on different firmwares ... the Blue one is on B179 and the Black one is on B115 ... also looks like the colour temperature defaults are different on the different phones.
Checking for updates reveals there are none available for either of them. If I understand this forum correctly I shouldn't expect to see any OTA updates being available since the only ones available in the UK are the ones for the Vodaphone locked versions ... is that correct ?
Am I right in saying I should be able to install the Firmware finder, select the B179 build, run the check with imei, start in app proxy, configure the proxy settings in the wifi and then follow the normal OTA update process from B115 to B179 ?
The reason I ask is because I tried these steps this morning and it failed with a checksum error. Did I do something wrong ?
Or would it be simpler to go back to Carphone Warehouse and ask for a new device ?
Managed to get it to go further trying B125 but I stopped watching and when I came back it had rebooted and was still running B115.
Talking to myself here ... finally got them both updated with a B191 build.

I would appreciate it too.
I don't think I did anything special that isn't documented else where on this forum, the trick was finding a firmware that worked.
But for reference :
* Install Firmware Finder on each phone went to settings and enabled the "Show Packages for current region" and "use simple firmware list".
* Go down the list of firmwares checking the availability with IMEI. (I only tried the ones that said FullOTA-MF and I believe the one I got to work was the on that was 105838 but I'm not 100% sure on that)
* Find one that that says "Firmware approved for installation models for installation: PRA-LX1C432B191" NB there were a couple that said PRA-L31-hw-euRA-LX1C432Bxxx as well but the B125 version I tried said that and failed to install.
* Press the in app proxy button
* Goto phones wifi settings, long press the network you are connected to and modify the settings -> set proxy to localhost port 8080.
* Go to the phones settings -> update firmware page and update as normal.
Extra credit step :
* Once the download has started hit pause then go back to your network settings remove the proxy and then resume the update download. (this was due to reports I'd seen of troubles downloading via the proxy and one attempt I'd made that ended in failure due to a checksum error which is basically a download fail)
Do you have dual SIM?

Not a clue ... never going to use that function ... these were just as cheap as I could find (but decent and from a reasonably well known brand) smartphones for my kids
I updated to b193 now my battery is crap

SOLVED: Full mobile 4G+ data signal, but no data comes through

Hi everyone
I have a strange problem. I bought the "International" version, which was of course the Tencent with a flashed ROM. Although it was sold as "International" hehe
I didn't have Google Pay working and I've flashed the 1703 together with fingerprint, re-locked it down after and then updated with the latest firmware from the Asus website. (Google Pay works now)
Version WW-16.0631.1908.21
I now see that even though I have a FULL 4G+ signal. Calls come through normally etc. but the internet on mobile data simply doesn't work.
Anybody have any advice what else I could do?
EDIT:
It was a simple APN problem

There are no topics on how to get OTA, i googled, all topics say its Impossible.
I want to know how he used offical update to update the phone, i just updated using one of the updates here in FASTBOOT mode.
If you know about topic that can enable REAL OTA that works or if you at least know how i can use ASUS offical updates to update [ mean i assume you just copy the zip file to the USB and it auto updates?]
Do tell me

Idk how to turn on real OTA thing, but if u want update to official ROM (copy zip file to internal storage), make sure your fingerprint set to same with your ROM (ex: WW ROM with WW Fingerprint), that works with me

I just googled what my mobile phone carrier APN was and entered it instead of the wrong one.
You can find the one in the phone by simply going to settings > network and internet > mobile network -> APN ( Access Point Names )
I just started having this issue yesterday! Phone has been working great for over a month then all of a sudden 4g shows it's on and connected but no mobile data coming through! My APN is correct, and I'm using Straight Talk through the TMobile network... Still haven't been able to fix it.
Same issue here internet connection dropping
I wonder if T-Mobile is doing some "dry runs" before they officially light up their 5G network on December 6th. (src: https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/4...d=WMM_TMO_P_19NETWRK5G_91WOGGGY1WERV94JC18747)
I am having same issue. Adding APN works for few hours. Then drops out. What to do? Did you guys find any solution?
Assalam alaykum
I suffered from dropping internet dropping connection
The solution was APN
Go to settings > network and internet > mobile network -> APN ( Access Point Names )
click the ( Access Point Names ) and you will find many APN setting Depend on your internet provider
Click one of them and then and on far top right option button click (delete APN)
Repeat this until you delete them all
Click the ( + ) sign to create new APN
Now go to thia site:
https://www.apnsettings.org/
And search for your country or internet provider
Copy the APN setting from the website to you your phone
Then save.
Hope it could help you
In case you couldn't connect to the internet at all
you can always restore your previous setting by :
Go to settings > network and internet > mobile network -> APN ( Access Point Names )
on far top right option button click (reset to default)
