[FIX?][E980] Android Wear device with CM12.1's bluetooth problems...

I've found a possible "fix" for the bluetooth problem... (very frequent disconnects from Android Wear and other devices, "Bluetooth Share" crashes, etc) but I need testers.
Attached is a zip you can flash from recovery.
After trying a bunch of stuff to get bluetooth to work properly with no luck, I decided to just rip the "/system/etc/bluetooth" folder off of an official LG 5.0.2 ROM and overwrite the existing bluetooth files in CM12.1. It seems to have worked. My bluetooth hasn't crashed once since, and Android Wear has been happy and synced all day. I'm running it on my E980 with the June 1 nightly build of CM12.1 (which also supposedly has some bt fixes... but bt still crashed on it until I flashed this).
New version July 6, 2015: btpatchv5.zip
v5 is based on bt from the latest (0704) CM12.1 nightly and works very well for me;
v4 is based on the official LG 5.0 ROM and IS tested.
Changes:
>> Bundled in the Ao-Shi app (not my work, all credit to Daniel Baucom for this nifty little tool)
>> Added 3 bluetooth binary files to /system/xbin in an attempt to quell the "bluesleep" wakelock and get some deep sleep.
Let me know how it works for you... grab the download below...
*Regarding the Ao-Shi app that I've included...
If you get an occasional BT crash, fire up the Ao-shi app. Tap "Kill Bluetooth" two or three times (not just once; once doesn't work). Then, click "Revive Bluetooth". For me this usually gets BT working again without a reboot. Again, thank you to Daniel Baucom for this little gem. It even has widgets you can add to your homescreen for faster action.

Thx for sharing this information.I've got another question, aren't you having problems using 'oké googe' on your wear?. I've seems to keeping having problems on my phone,using 'oké google'

Yes... when BT partially craps out, "OK Google" gets wonky. Usually I get a total BT crash shortly after.
I have been heavily experimenting, and I might be on the trail of a true fix, but I need to test more before posting it. Keep your fingers crossed.

I've uploaded a small patch, give it a shot and see if it helps you. It has worked great for me. See the OP for the file.

Mpsantiago, where can I find the patch, and how does it work? Tnx for sharing your solution

It's up above attached to the first post- btpatchv2.zip
All it does is transplant the bluetooth files from the official LG 5.0.2 E9XX ROM into CM12.1.
Flash it from recovery and enjoy. You'll likely have to re-flash it after any nightly upgrade (until the problem gets fixed upstream).

Ok, I've tested the patch with both my Moto360 and my BT speakers- everything seems good.

Still good with BT, do you still have screen flickering?

No, screen flickering is a pretty easy fix compared to BT:
Option #1: Turn off Hardware Overlays every time you boot your device
Option #2: Install the xposed module "NoMoreOverlay"
Option #3: Modify build.prop file, change the line "persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable" from true to false

Do I only have to flash the zip for BT to stay synced? No need to change anything else?

Just flash, that's it.
So far, BT has only crashed twice since I first started testing it, and it happened when I was goofing with it pairing different stuff- not during normal use. Both times I was able to revive it without rebooting using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.loudbit.ao_shi

I've noticed very little deep sleep while using this solution, possibly related to "bluesleep" wakelock- I'm investigating this to see if I can fix it.
EDIT: I've added a new download to the OP above; not sure if it will fix bluesleep wakelocks but I'm hopeful... I'll be testing it tomorrow... off to bed now for me!

So far, so good.
I still get an occasional BT crash, but it's maybe one or two a day instead of one every 15 minutes. I'm actually testing yet another revision to the patch with an additional tweak and another LG BT library file moved over... if it is stable I'll post it next.

Tested the latest (june 4th) version and works so far. I did notice a decrease in battery life afterwards tho, significant vs the non-working bluetooth.

This patch may no longer be needed. I flashed 20150625-NIGHTLY this morning (without patching afterwards) and so far bluetooth has been flawless.

sim card ok?

That day I was in a rush... I basically flashed the nightly and threw the phone in my pocket. My watch got all my notification alerts no problem all morning- it wasn't until lunch time that I looked at my phone and noticed the SIM problem.
Hopefully they'll have it sorted soon, though it's still not with the latest build. If it's not fixed by the end of the week I'll probably look into ripping the BT stuff out of the latest nightly and updating this patch with it.

Are you using this with blisspop? Wakelocks still?
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk

UPDATE:
Since the CM12.1 nightly builds still have a borked SIM card (but seemingly working BT), I replaced the bluetooth guts in V5 of this patch with the ones from the latest 12.1 build instead of what I was using before (the official LG 5.0 build). I have only tested it for a few hours, but it seems solid. Have NOT checked for wakelocks or battery drain. Flash at own risk.
I've omitted the Ao-Shi app; you can install it from Play Store if you want. Alternatively, if BT ever crashes you can manually revive it without rebooting:
Settings > Apps > All > Bluetooth Share > FORCE CLOSE then CLEAR DATA; turn Bluetooth back on and it should be fine.

Haven't tried with Blisspop, only with cm12.1 nightlies. It should work on any CM12.1 based ROM though. I get decent deep sleep with it. YMMV.

GPS Keeps Losing Signal

I'm wondering if others are having this issue? With various apps (Pokemon Go, Google Maps) I keep losing GPS signal. Seems to find it no problem when first starting it but will soon start losing it. Pokemon Go reconnects pretty fast but Google Maps is much slower. I'm wondering if this is a hardware or software issue. I was on stock for a while and last week switched to OOS Lite (which is still stock based) and I'm I'm still having this issue. Makes using the phone for navigation about impossible. Hoping someone can help me.

I don't want to lose camera quality but I'm thinking about trying a new OOS based ROM and see if that fixes the issue.

What it shows on Google Maps.

Google turned up several threads about this problem. OnePlus has stated it may be hardware related and only impacts some of the OP3. The latest ROM from OP seems to have more problems than earlier ones. It is supposed to get fixed in some future update but no info supplied regarding the where/when.

More info in this thread.

Thanks. Well I've been in contact with OnePlus and they want to do the thing where a tech will remotely access my phone and wipe it. I doubt it will help but I'll let them. I'm wondering if it may be a software issue and I'll need a replacement. I'm not looking forward to that process. I've never done it before but heard it is a nightmare. Plus I cannot go without a phone due to work.

Well just flashed latest version of Cyanogen Mod and Still Seem to have the same issue. Seems to be hardware then. Ugh. Oneplus wants to do a remote thing, but soonest appointment is a week away.

Did you resolved the GPS problem with OnePlus Support. Is it hardware or a software problem? I have the same problem with my OnePlus3

I have those GPS problems as well. I opened and replacement RMA. Let's see... maybe my phone is broken. I tried the official OOS, the community build of OOS and cyanogenmod so far and there wasn't a difference in GPS performance. All poor. I guess everybody how has those issues might have a defect in the device

Same issue here, completely stock. Constantly looses gps signal then reconnects...........very annoying.

Any updates here?
I guess my OP3 is not up for taking on runs or bike rides like any normal modern smart phone should be. What good is GPS tracking of your outing when it loses the signal constantly, sometime for as much as several minutes? Absolutely infuriating. Updates please, and thanks in advance.

for me "gps signal lost" only seems to happen if the screen is off while navigating (not sure if removing google maps/whatever gps app from battery optimization has helped)
google maps seems to navigate continuously if the screen is kept on, although accuracy seems worse than prior phones (i.e. unable to tell if you're on the feeder/frontage or highway)

I am experiencing better GPS performance by disabling the "Doze Mode" in the Developer Options (OxygenOS 3.2.7 and everything stock).
I hope it will help

Doze keeps apps from draining battery while not in use.

Yes, but as I said I did not notice an excessive battery consumption: it maybe depends on the apps you have installed in your phone.
I suggest you try. Let us know if your GPS works better than before.

I have the same issue. Stock Rom 3.2.7. Any news from the support?

Same issue. I thought it was because I had too many apps, so I wiped. The GPS keeps losing its signal.

Short of a rma, have you all tried the app 'gps locker'? It holds lock through a persistent notification. It worked well on my note 3 with gps issues.

Quick work around is to download gps test app from play store,
Run it, wait till you get lock,
Once you get lock, close the app but dont kill it,
Now open your other app that need constant gps (maps, waze, pokemon, uber, you name it) and use it,
GPS will run well this way,
You wont lose GPS signal, except when you are under some kind of roof

HTC 10 Android 7.0 Nougat Update Issues

I upgraded to Nougat yesterday, currently facing many stability issues. Any help would be appreciated on the below problems.
* Sound is unstable, screen lock does not produce any sound
* Incoming calls are often silent, no sound comes out for some reason
* HTC Live Wallpapers disappeared, I cannot locate them
* Double tap to wake problem persists, I had this problem on 6 and still cannot fix it despite many attempts including sensors, wipe clean and 3 hard reset attempts // I had this issue when I purchased my phone back in September. After many trial and errors it somehow worked on its own. Then I got a problem on my screen and took it to the HTC Service. They told me they replaced the screen and did a software update and my DT2W no longer worked

Also missing the live wallpapers over here.

I guess that's why there's a new firmware 2.41.401.4 leaked. Would explain why they halted the Roll-Out of 2.41.401.3, and seems they already working on a fix.

My HTC 10 is an unlocked US version and it seems pretty stable. After initial roll out of Android 7 on Nov 25th, we then got 2 updates(Dec and Jan) which contained bug fixes and security patches.

I guess my #htc10 has hardware issues out of the box

After the UK Nougat update my Sandisk SD card is not being recognised as external storage. Was ok before the update. I've removed & reinserted a couple of times, still no joy. Anyone experienced this?

I had the same problem. I had to remove it and reinsert into the phone.

Hey guys,
None of the issues above I ran into....Has OP tried a factory reset? Always recommended to Android devices after a big version upgrade.
Speaking of factory reset, well, I did it, and I have some other issues :
1. Camera in Pro mode, under long exposure duration, the image quality drops significantly...I am an photography amateur, so I know what I am talking about.
2. Sometimes the phone app does not recognize saved contacts. (It seems that this would be solved with 2.41.401.4)
3. Battery drains...much quicker than 1.95...before I can get 5h or + screen on time, now barely passes 4h.

I've also noticed a batterydrain. Although I've done a fresh install. Yesterday I did a complete wipe again without backup recovery. Battery seems stable now.

Since the OTA Nougat update i've had issues with instagram videos not playing whilst pictures work fine (on both 4g and wifi).
Also gmail no longer syncs automatically and i have to manually refresh to get mail.
Wiping cache partition and wiping app cache/ reinstalling the apps didn't work. I do feel like the update has somehow caused this as it was fine before.
Anyone else having these issues?
To comment on issues others have been having, my battery drain feels normal. And I have always has issues with gestures and double tap to wake not working

Unlocked USA 2.41.617.3 is stable here
Unlocked USA 2.41.617.3 is stable here. It brought the January security patch and also fixed all of my battery drain issues I had since the September, 2016 Android 6.1 update. I lost 2-day battery life in September, 2016.
I am finally back to 2-day battery with doze acting normally since January, 2017 update.

No extra updates or fixes yet for us in the UK. Also noticing apps will won't auto update correctly now. Getting a google play is not responding message. HTC need to sort this out asap

new Firmware 47.1.A.12.179

The new Firmware 47.1.A.12.179 is out:
https://xpericheck.com/device/G8441
in Android-Hilfe.de Thread they write that the firmware includes Android Security Patch is 01. May 2018.

It is the May security patch. Couldn't find any other changes so far.

Good day.
I noticed that wifi now connects intantly.

Good news about wifi, although for me, the issues are so intermittent that it's tough to tell.
SmartLock settings are still blank.
I won't be able to test car bluetooth until tomorrow, so fingers crossed. Although I did discover last weekend that if I pause from the car's headset, it will display the currently paused song after 2, or so, seconds.

To fix the smart lock, in your security settings find "Trusted Agents" and uncheck Smart Lock, then reboot and enable the agent for Smart Lock again. Worked for me.

Doesn't work for very long, two or three days max, then it stops opening and trusted device fails to unlock

As long as it does come with 8.1 I'm not too interested. Whole reason with going with Sony was project treble for faster updates. Disappointing to say the least.

You really can't see the benefit of Treble? We get security update each month! I'd never seen such quick updating before Treble, on non Google's phones.
To compare: my Motorola X Force is still on October 2017 security patch :/

I have to agree with Didgesteve. The only improvement is that the SmartLock screen stays visible - it still doesn't work, but you can see it. The wifi problems came back. And the bluetooth is the same, to possibly worse. Yay! for security updates, but from a user perspective, this update did nothing, as far as I can tell. At least there are workarounds for the problems. It's still a huge improvement over the Galaxy S5 it replaced.

Disappointing - WIFI is unable to stay connected for more than a 24 hours. Daily restarts are needed. No solution even after 4 months of this ridiculous behavior. SONY should admit this is a HW issue and offer replacements or solve it ASAP.

Because i have been having abnormal consumption with RCS Service, i tried this tutorial and it seems that the wifi problem that it sometimes takes long to connect has disappeared. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...44&postcount=6)

I have problems with battery drain after this update. Before the update, the phone could be used for more than two days without recharging and now I have to recharge after 8 hours without much use. Consequently I have deleted almost all apps from my phone and did everything reasonable (yes, stamina mode is activated). No success. Sad.

Bugs and Improvements in October's Update

Hello,
This thread is for discussion about the October patch and all the fixes and bugs it brings alongside. Feel free to discuss as you like.
So far I've seen that compass bug is fixed and general performance is improved quite a bit. I'll report if I see any improvements in battery life.

Face unlock seems to be faster than before, can't say for sure.

Hello, my WiFi is very unstable since October update. And sometimes my phone does not find my home networks and need to reboot. WiFi connection is dropping a lot too.

This is a common bug when ota or dirty update occured.
Reset network settings as above said, or better do a factory reset which is better.

i have wifi and hotspot problem on october update after flashing twrp. i even check it on a clean install of v10.3.8.0. wifi work but after installing twrp it break.
update: i was my fault that break wifi and hotspot and it's not a bug in october patch nor twrp.

For me, all of these have improved.. Really happy with the update but there is still potential for more performance.
The EAS energy model on this phone is highly battery oriented which is a good thing in general but because our device has a large battery and a power efficient manufacture process of SoC, the energy model can easily be tweaked for major performance boost while still maintaining a good battery life that lasts about a day.

Hi there,
Did you perform a factory reset, and is it good now or?

Battery backup improved noticeably. Face unlock is fast.

Is LED notification bug for missed calls fixed in October update?

Yes. Fingerprint is faster after Oct update.

Output sound through loudspeakers is very low after update. Someone facing this issue? EEA version.
