The root of the last update made me to do many mistakes and I had to initialize my kindle. Again the hard work of installing and tricking old programs that worked well.
All fine until I tried my bluetooth GPS dongle. With the other versions of rom it was rejected as an unsupported device, stopping pairing after a few seconds, needing other utilities to make the pairing stable. Now it paired well, at first try, but on the other side "Bluetooth GPS Provider" by Mobilej.de, the app that used to work, now crash all the time. This app used to work perfectly if installed in the System folder /app and annulling the "Force GPS Position" option, but not now.
Other app with the same name but from Michael Chourdakis(TurboIRC.com), that refused to work with 7.2.3, now runs, although is a more basic program.
Does it happens to someone else?

Yes hello, this exact same thing is happening for me...
Prior to this new firmware update, I had been using a Global Sat external gps with Bluetooth GPS Provider (Mobilej.de) and it had successfully connected and gained location activity, after enabling mock settings with "KFHD xSettings", for use with maps applications (in my case for aviation moving maps Avare & Air Navigation Pro). Now with the recent 7.3.0 update, this no longer works and the Bluetooth provider app immediately has lost connection and is stopped. Additionally, these apps continually tell me that location-provider setting is turned off, even though it is shown as "ON".
Have you found a work around yet for this update? Are you saying that the other app by Michael Chourdakis is working and providing gps connection?
Yes, it fails one or two times to connect, you must insist. Then suddenly, it links and begins to receive coordinates and stay connected properly.
You must let it in the background like the other app.
Now, way to home, I will prove its accuracy...
I forgot the link to the app:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/turboirc.btgps.apk.zip or http://ubuntuone.com/3yq3ZJKWIvB7Rss37BFE1k
edit: (thanks to prokennexusa)
hello thanks for the app link!
I just tried it after installing in \system\app folder. it does establish connection and says it receives coordinate information, but when I open map applications they say no location available. Or no GPS service.
Are you getting the same? have you successfully used a gps application with your bluetooth dongle?
It is not necessary to install it in System/app but if it works for you...., Once you see the name of the dongle and the coordinates, you must exit with the home button, not with the arrow one, to make the app run in the background. Edit: no, it doesn't closes by itshelf. Is necesary to stop it in configuration....
Then, sliding down the finger by the upper part of the screen you can see a notification that the GPS is working and an GPS icon near the bluetooth symbol is visible. Edit: No, is the android system who shows that alerts when the navigator(whichever you use) request "location" ...
Yes, I have "Mock locations" activated with "KFHD xSettings" (courtesy of 0xD34D), but it works for me with or without "internal location-provider" set.

I'm testing now the "Alpine quest hiking" app, but by the day I will do with Tom-tom.
The experience has been a bitter relief, as this "Bluetooth GPS Provider"(Turboirc) app seems to be the only remaining solution to tie GPSs and Kindles, but the program hasn't options and loses signal occasionally, just only a second fortunately. Accuracy is good.
-
The "original" "Bluetooth GPS Provider"(Mobilej) behaviour has changed, in doesn't hangs now, only announces that has been closed and, curiously only if you install it normally(not system/app), lets you a feedback with the creator to send him errors. I will prove if he or they can fix it in between.
later I will show more tests....
Route 66 hangs with or without WIFI (I set it off to secure there is no "wifi location") in the precise moment I run "Bluetooth GPS Provider"(turbo irc). With the earlier updates it worked good with "Bluetooth GPS Provider"(movilej.de).
-
It seems that the turboirc version does something wrong when injecting coordinates to the android system.
GPS update 7.3.0 very good .But hope to soon have CM10.1 . Many thanks Hashcode :victory:

^Exactly...I believe I am having the same issue with the turboirc version not feeding gps information. I got it to connect with position initially but does not continually update data in intervals like the mobilej.de version had. As a result, the gps apps get hung up or stop without this feed of coordinate data.
i suppose I will just use my phone in the mean time, until maybe a new firmware update will change this issue!
I've sideloaded Avare, a free superb navigator, for planes!. It doesn't reads the "GPS Provider" app, but neither hangs. Tomtom seems to work, but its raining here and the test must wait to my way home, later.
By car, friends....
hokie152 said: "Exactly...I believe I am having the same issue with the turboirc version not feeding gps information"
Not so easy, it seems some apps see the information and others no. "Alpine quest" works, so the provider app is feeding.
hokie152. If you need GPS to fly, do it as you said by tethering from your phone.............. or downgrade to 7.2.3 and lock updates.....

But be aware of Bluetooth not working properly, yet (Bug)
Definitively Tomtom works with "Bluetooth GPS Provider"(turboirc) on 7.3.0. Has the same glitches every now and then like Alpine Quest, but it brings you to home and alerts you of radars.....
Another bluetooth gps provider named..... BlueGPS4android, installs but I cant make it work:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bluegps4droid/?source=dlp
Bluegps4android works in my phone, but all versions offered refuse to tie in Kindle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've find an app that connects DIRECTLY with the GPS dongle without a provider app. Its name is Trekbuddy, side-loaded from Google Market.
Is a complex program that needs some study, but apparently it works, I don't know if can be used to fly....
To hokie152:
I've installed Air Navigation Pro, and it seems to react and receive some coordinates if you have set "wifi location" with or without wifi. Later I'll take the car and test it. My bluetooth dongle is a cheap and outdated Zaapa Touch(only 5 euros!).
Air Navigation Pro works, but suffers occasionally the same loss of data failures, causing the little plane in the screen turn as a weathervane moved by a whirlwind....But it runs.

I will try connecting Air Navigation Pro using Bluetooth GPS Provider by turboir and see if I have the same results "with or without WIFI". I have seen the little plane before rotate in circles when you stop moving (at zero velocity). It displays your location but has no direction of motion so it cannot hold a proper heading. Thanks!
I mean that I think this program inject coordinates(mock locations) to the system, so its necessary that location services are working, ie the approximate location by wifi used by our Kindle. Happy Fly!

Now I'm making a map of my way to home to test Trekbuddy reading directly from my dongle gps..... to test if it isn't guilty of the glitches.
Constantly have wifi turning on.
Have not updated to KK and have just been bypassing the install. Not rooted or anything, completely stock. Started happening a week or so ago and my apps automatically update through google play. Is there any ideas?
I've checked/unchecked/rechecked every single option in wifi/data/network that may pertain to keeping the wifi on. None of them have worked and it still does it. Is there any way to figure out what app is ticking wifi on and off through a log file or anything?
See above,their problem was avast.
Stop auto update in market settings.

Settings - WiFi - Advance - Untick Scanning Always available
Have checked/unchecked/rechecked and still does.
Check your GPS settings, set them to GPS only. If there's an app that use an active GPS for location services, and GPS is set to WiFi + GPS, it turns on the WiFi.
As for auto updating apps, you can disable that in Google Play's settings. (Which does mean you need to update them manually).
Hello
i have my edge without problems, but i have installed Amazfit watch application to use amazfit watch from XIaomi.
despite have refused the permission to turn on bluetooth, it keep turning it on.
how can i deny the app to turn on the bluetooth? i am not rooted
I have same problem here.
My cellphone is a Note 4-910C
Think that is a problem with the APP.
Not sure why though. Turning off Bluetooth disconnects the connection of the watch and the phone. I guess you can goto settings and hop around.
Turn 'Write system settings into no might solve this. Not sure...:silly:
Hello,
I am on Stock ROM ALE-L21C432B598. When I boot Bluetooth is off, as expected. If I turn it on, everything is normal. I can stream music, and also transfer Phone Calls via BT.
BUT, when I turn it off it doesn't "turn off completely" and when I turn it on again, I can stream music, but I am not able to transfer Phone Calls anymore.
If I put the phone in Airplane mode, then yes, the Bluetooth turns off and in the next turn on I can use the phonecalls over BT again.
I've tried lot´s of things, like flashing again the rom, flashing the B596 rom, looked into logcat for some information.
Can anyone help me on this one?
Thank you!

Maybe Bluetooth scanning is turned on.
Thank you. Yes. I went here
Location Access -> Menú -> Scan -> Scan Settings - Bluetooth Scanning
And disabled it and everything is normal now!
Thanks a lot!

Hahah!! You earned it!! You saved me a lot of work! I was going to go way back to b170 and up to b598 again...
I switched Bluetooth Scanning on, but I could have never imagined that it would make bluetooth to malfunction.
Thanx a lot, man!
Simple as that. I am running the stock ROM, rooted. Every time I tap on the Bluetooth icon in the swipe-down menu, the phone locks up and reboots.
I tried using that app on the Play Store called "Bluetooth Fix Repair," but it tells me "Sorry, this application can't find your Bluetooth settings folder on this device."
If I go into Settings > Bluetooth, and turn it on there, it works just fine. I realize I can just stick to doing that, but I don't like knowing something is wrong with the phone. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Maybe try removing your Bluetooth pairings and hope that will shake something loose to fix it.
You can long press the Bluetooth icon to get to the Bluetooth Settings page faster if that helps and removing pairings didn't fix the problem.
If it's still crashing after the above suggestion, I may have another idea to try.
