[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] repair_man:
Being an absolutely brand new member, although not ignorant to the excellence of Android or for that matter different ROM's and there charm, I today joined this wonderful source of wisdom and knowledge :)

As I recently installed the great work called SlimTW5-JellyBean-v2.0 onto my SGS2 I wanted to share my experience with the author of this great ROM. Well...as a new member I'm not allowed to post anything until I've posted at least 10 posts...how the f***k that should be possible with a post "ban", beats me..;)

Anyroad, this is what I wanted to share with the author and you other guys, running this ROM.

Absolutely the fastest and most stable JB ROM I've tried this far...and loving every experience more and more :)! Well almost...an odd behaviour have occurred when charging the phone. And this is the only problem I've had. When I connect the charger to the phone, this being the charger connected to the outlet on the wall, which means 230 V AC, the phone indicate it's being charged...the screen's shutting down as it should after the time out period chosen...

How ever, when and if I "wake" the phone's screen, the phone still connected to the outlet, the screen shows me the "enter PIN code" screen! Ok, I can live with that so I enter my PIN-code...which is dismissed as being the wrong code?! As I look at the upper right corner the symbol tells me that the phones not connected at all...to anything. With this I mean that the SIM card is shown as not present, which is SO wrong.

A restart solves this issue...if being patience ;) This behaviour is sort of pi....., making me frustrated.

In short; I would SO much like to be able to charge my SGS2 without the phone loosing the ability to connect to my very present SIM card :cool:

XDA rules...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
well u can try this, go to CWM recovery there do Wipe cache, then wipe dalvik cache after that Fixpermission then reboot system and see if issue persists while charging the phone:)

u can also try changing the kernel and see alternatively:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] repair_man:
Gee, this is the reason I love this place...quick and accurate responses :)

Being a friend/devoted to "RTFM" that to me seems the installation behaviour...and which I followed. Do you think your advice would resolve the issue? I'm happy with the ROM's feature, it's speed and stability. A change of kernel to what or which one?

/A
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
this looks like a typical kernel issue.

Change your kernel. I recommend Siyah kernel

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] repair_man:
Thanks a lot, you guys. I've changed the kernel to Siyah 4.1.1 kernel, put the phone on charging and crossed my fingers ;)

First impression of this kernel is that my SGS2 feels more responsive and faster :) I'll get back to you guys with news around the charging issue

/A
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] repair_man:
Back again with great news :thumbup:

After charged the phone it would wake up into full connectivity to both the network and SIM-card !

A big chunk of thanks to you both for pointing out what probably caused the issue with ROM :D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metalhead520:
Hey Everyone,

Hopefully you have time and can answer this for me. About a month ago I downloaded the very first alpha rom of CM10 for the S3. Installation went fine and all but GPS was totally screwed up. Well a few roms later and updates to Google Maps its still not locking on to my position, even with WiFi on like someone suggested but wasn't needed before I began flashing so many roms lol. I've been using GPS toolbox and GPS status to get locks but it doesn't hold. It will stay locked then lose it a minute later where as when I didn't mess with roms and was on stock it would be fine and be able to see my phone from anywhere. Right now I'm looking at it as I type and it says GPS on in green on one of the apps and 8 in view and 7 in use but its still blinking constantly and the accuracy is at 500 feet sometimes more which is totally unacceptable. Used to be within 40 ft or less than that before something totally screwed with my GPS. I'm really desperate now Max because I use my GPS to get around town as I have a horrible memory but don't want to take it back to Verizon to get a new one and shell out more money. I've tried a lot of steps up to and including going back to complete stock on the phone to know avail, its still screwed. I've cleared the A-GPS cache and re downloaded it from these apps but its still not 100% perfect where I need it. Would you happen to know what to do to get this thing in working order so I can use it again and not have it lose lock while I'm on the road like its been doing? Maybe if you have an unaltered gps.conf file you could copy the stuff in that file for me and paste it on an email so I can recreate my own and see if it helps. Its under the system/etc/gps.conf if you need to know where it is. I really need help and you guys are the only people that actually knows these phones inside and out that could possibly help me on this. Like I've said, I've tried everything I can think of, using GPS tools on the market, going back to stock, jumping from 3 different roms and even deleting the Google maps and re downloading it and nothing helps, but hopefully you can. Thank you for taking the time to read this long email as I tried to give as much detail to my problem as needed to help you help me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aldude345:
I have had this problem flashing to. I have found that going back stock fixes the problem. Also do you do data wipes and cache wipes too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metalhead520:
I've already tried going back to stock, and yes I do complete full wipes when going from ROM to ROM. Hence why I am so confused on what to do with my problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aldude345:
I should say do data wipe/cache wipe and the other cache wipe then bull battery and redownload stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metalhead520:
Already did all that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tdperry:
If you are using CWM then format system. Sounds more like a hardware problem as mine is working fine.

TAPPED in on my (now unlocked bootloader) Verizon S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigdaddywong83:
How long did u let GPS lock on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metalhead520:
I went back to stock unrooted so its just plain recovery with no advanced options like in CWR
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metalhead520:
It never really locked on, it would find a bunch of satellites, then drop them, then find them.......never does completely lock on, even with wifi on. Ive tried everything I can think of too, and even downloaded some other gps fixing tools on the market with no help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] addictedhacks:
My GPS is fried

I have done alot of troubleshooting and I believe I screwed up my phone. I went from Synergy to CM10 and then to cleanrom. While on cleanrom I noticed my GPS wouldnt lock. So I flashed Synergy (Fully Wiping Of Course) and still no GPS. So I odined to stock and relocked bootloader. Still no luck. I ran GPS fix GPS Status GPS AIDS and GPS test and I am still screwed. My GPS still wont lock. It always says searching for GPS. I left the Navi on last night all night with a destination set hoping it would lock and say the magical words I want to here like "turn left" but instead I woke up to searching... been wiping data and cache 3 times daily tryna get this fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ren274u:
I had gps issues no matter what rom or type of wipe i did. I notice it started after the synergy release where the gps settings were modified and no matter what it never worked again.I reverted the phone completely back to stock and the same thing. I called Verizon and they sent me a new phone, no issues anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
Did you try to reprovision? *2767*3855# (wipes everything on internal SD)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ren274u:
No but after I flashed the factory kernel, radio, and rom I went into the recovery and did a wipe/data factory reset. That erased everything I had on the internal sd and set it back to stock. Still didn't work after that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metalhead520:
I know it wasn't directed towards me but I tried that number in the dialer and it did a different kind of factory reset than I've done myself, but the gps on my SGSIII is still screwed up. I've been sitting here for 10 mins waiting for it to find me and still nothing. I really don't want to have to send it back for another one, is there any other numbers I can do on the dialer to do something else? On Google Maps the icon to where Im supposed to be is grey and blinking so I don't think it sees the phone. I do rely on my gps for a lot so its bad that this isn't responding at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ren274u:
I didn't have to send it in and wait. I called them wednesday, it got here today (with their free shipping). Then you get 5 days to send in the original phone, they include a postage label and everything. No down time at all. Just make sure you completely set it back to stock before you send it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metalhead520:
Yeah its already back to stock, it seems faster after that reprovisioning but just wish the gps would work. Ill take it in my local Verzion store on monday to see what I can do about this. I just hope I don't get a SGSIII replacement that's already been tinkered with by someone else lol. I think my days of tinkering with phones myself are over since I don't want to go through this again :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] patt2k:
I also have the gps issues however I didnt restore back to stock.. anyway I bought my phone not directly from verizon I paid almost full retail price would they still take it for replacement or I have to go to samsung?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] addictedhacks:
Samsung. And good luck with that. They are the worst. I had to get my nexus fixed and I sent it in 3 times for repair. They kept saying they fixed it and never did. after the third time i started screaming at them and they sent me a new one. hehehehe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryezen:
GPS Woes =(

I have the same problem. I was running Synergy at the time I noticed it. It's really difficult to get Maps to lock, and seems to only work after GPS Test or GPS Status first get a lock (which each take up to 30 seconds typically).

I went COMPLETE stock to try fix it; total wipe, locked bootloader, no root, pure vanilla. Still couldn't get lock with Maps.

I'm trying a custom gps config file now to see if that helps.

Really wish someone would figure out what caused this and how to fix/revert it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rmtobler:
The original galaxy s had the worst GPS ever (or later version would initially work but get worse over time), but a dev (jt1334) for the samsung fascinate fixed it after 8 months by changing something in the kernel.

Hopefully some devs familiar with his work could look at what he did and see if there is something similar that could be done on the gs3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] addictedhacks:
+1 Yea my GPS was the best and always locked on like all my other Samsung's did, then all of a sudden died on me after flashing a ROM. Only way to get it to work temporarily is to go out side and run the GPS fix and even then it's really bad and locks me on the main streets when I am on the Interstate 5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wchill:
I was actually running Synergy r60 and Imo 0.6 and I couldn't get my GPS to lock for a good 10 minutes... and then when it did lock, all my GPS enabled apps were still searching for GPS! Navigation, Maps, GPS Status, and my own little app I made that uses GPS. Flashed r71 and 0.7, will report back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryezen:
So I called VZW to see what they could tell me and they had me open up Latitude, which prompted me for location sharing. I activated that and almost immediately got GPS lock. Weird. That was while I was on the phone with them. I also tried opening maps again after getting off the phone, and had lock within three seconds. I don't get how Latitude is connected to GPS, but it seems like it might be?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ENDonDESIGN:
If your using latitude with Google location services or VZW location services your not really using your stand alone GPS, and you will get a faster lock but it won't necessarily be as accurate depending on what is being used. Here is more information on it: Location-based services

Did you check how your signal was with GPS Test or GPS Status? I also having issues with my GPS and my gf's Droid4 will get a lock instantly while mine with just sit there with 26 in view and none in use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekrhino:
I would like to suggest "FASTER GPS" in the android market. It has custom geographical settings like to only look for GPS in this country.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] djsiva:
I have the same GPS fried issue, but I was still running stock touchwiz. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it, but never got around to putting a new rom on it. It just started acting flaky one day, and now it won't even lock at all. VZW is sending me a replacement phone. :
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheShakes:
Did anybody ever resolve their issue here? Having the same problem where the GPS see satellites but won't get a lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ecs180:
turn off standalone gps under the location services...leave the other 2 checked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shinebox:
I'm having a problem where it thinks I am in Nevada. Other applications work fine except for GPS Fix and Google Maps.

Download this files and place it in /system/etc .... permission it to rw r r

then delete all files in /data/gps folder

restart and use gpstest to see results. try it with data on on first try to fix the satellite faster.

i am trying to figure out if it's possible to put an icon on my homescreen to act like the winodws 7 "arrow" to transition between home screens..

or even a way to put a "shortcut" to transition to predetermined different homesceens..

like "tap arrow" will take me to homescreen #5 (when ur on homescreen #1) instead of scrolling through every screen...

is this possible in any launcher? i couldn't find the options or even possibility...

thanks ; >

EDIT: NVM i found that apex/nova launcher has shortcuts to different screens! DOH!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wbyrd:
I'm not sure what's going on with my phone lately. It keeps just shutting down and won't restart unless I plug it in. Mostly happens when I'm playing Tetris but it just happened again while I was browsing the internet. I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the battery. Will someone please check their battery and see if it's completely flat or if there is a bulge in it? Mine is bulging and I don't know if that's right or not.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
A bulg in your battery indicates that its bad. Stop using it immediately. You need a new battery. It could rupture on you ruining your phone or worse phyically hurting you.

Edit: also don't throw it away. Bring it into sprint or a battery store. Its hazardous waste and recyclable.

Hi Guys,

I have the following question: I want to sell my Android Tablet (Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet, currently running stock ICS 4.0.3).

To remove my personal data, I think that just doing a factory reset won´t be enough, right? Can someone tell me where Android stores information regarding my Accounts/data (e.g. Tapatalk "cloud backup" or other critical data) and which folders should removed before I give the device to someone else?

Or is there any guide how to prepare a device for selling?

Thank you in advance for your help!
