[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crypted:
Last response on this subject as it pertains to this person and possibly as a whole. I shall respond only when it shows that the person has given me something useful to chew on in my efforts to assist here.

I'm amazed at how little people want to read, but come up with these fascinating 1 + 1 = 3 scenarios just because they connect two outwardly appearing instances without further learning of the underlying matters at hand.

Further, my tracking information indicates that Test 2 will work for some where Test 3 will work for others, but that people do not get the same results from either. The only modification is the batch and sampling rates. This SHOULD NOT be a problem between the devices on the hardware available, but hey live with what you all got, right?

So, the question falls to why there is such a difference. All variants being equal, the difference seems to be ROM related based upon the multitude of testing data received.

Now, let us address the cache matter. I didn't prove there to be a hidden cache, it was proven two years ago and a number of scripts were made that are device specific to WIPE the GPS CACHE because IT EASILY CORRUPTS. If this device doesn't have one, do some studying and create the script. Normally, there seems to be what amounts to a CRON rotation that clears this cache on a daily basis. Sometimes, devices will purge this on a hard power reset (meaning, them lil diodes ain't gettin' no juice from the battery cuz it be removed ya know?).

But, not all devices operate the same so this battery operation doesn't always work and sometimes you just have to wait until the normal clearing mechanism kicks in. Oh wait, but this can be ROM based so what if you have a ROM that kind of botched that mechanism you don't get it cleared which means?... Then, it appears we're back to my last post where I mentioned the ROM's.

So my friend, if you feel that you can do better than what I've done for 33 official devices and about ~90 including unofficial support, which fixed thousands of matters and has become a part of so many ROM compilations, you go RIGHT ahead. My personal notes put this at an 82% success rate with either Test 2 or Test 3 for the total variants of the S3. I would suggest learning a lot more than what you're indicating that you have. Or, you already know so much because of your "And sure its the ROM" statement. Might be a quick and easy fix for you.

EDIT: I realize I'm being a ****, but hey there comes a point when you just have to say what the F- is going on here on XDA...

EDIT: Oh and man I just like to point this one out @ your "10's of thousands" LOL. Here's my LOL... ASUS used my fix in their late February ROM push for the Transformer Prime series to fix its GPS problems that weren't actually resolved with its hardware dongle. So, LOL at my 10's of thousands comment because LOL there were over a million sold and most aren't rooted... LOL. :( And, LOL at ASUS for being so damn stupid and not including very pertinent pieces of GPS configurations among the other niceties.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FAUguy:
I hope I didn't cause an issue here.

Just stating that with the newest J1 ROM leak, that my location was being reported accurate with Test 2, but not with Test 3.

I wasn't aware there was another hidden GPS cache that resets every day.

In any case, after using CWM to revert to a backup of J1 and with the Test 2 installed, it seems it be OK again.

Thanks for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crypted:
You're fine. You did it the right way with the Nandroid backup. If it worked with Test 2 and works again after reverting, you should be good to go.

As I've said, I don't really see why there is a difference viewed between the two test builds that are so drastic. Maybe if I had the device I'd know more, but that's debatable since so many same variants of the S3 see a wide difference in the two test builds. The only known difference to me is the ROMs in-use.

Might just have to be two different patches for user-dependent setups I'm thinking...?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hank3fan:
Well, I followed your directions and I get an instant lock. However it puts me in Raleigh and I'm in Cincinnati
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crypted:
Test 2, Test 3, or both? Give more information please such as the OP dictates for posting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hank3fan:
Test 2 and Google specific cwm. Both give me an instant lock but in nc. I couldn't find test 3 in op. I'm sure I overlooked it.

I'm running clean rom 3.5 le if that helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crypted:
Reports show test 3 for that ROM. It's linked about 10 posts up. I keep forgetting to edit this thread OP to add it to the top.

Just tried SIII test 3 with Cleanrom 4.5 and it's not working at all. GPS status will show a lock in 2s but it's not locking into any of the satellite at all. I was using test 2 with Cleanrom 3.5 but for some reason this file is not working on the JB rom..please help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bishop0114:
Same issue here. I was able to get test 2 to install but same results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pTeronaut:
So, I got myself thinking.

I originally was sold on the i717 with the notion that the 5.3" screen would be a bigger window not a magnifying glass.

Earlier capacitive touch technology was unusable by the elderly for whatever reason (I was told that their skin doesn't hold much of a charge), this may still be the case, as I have read stories of older smartphone users having difficulties with touchscreen phones.

This phone is a contradiction, Samsung sell the screen, but fail to tell the customer that it is no more useful than a regular size display unit, (well, maybe more useful for watching videos, but you'll only get to watch one movie before the battery runs out), and the pen, which aside from drawing, would only be of real use if the onscreen elements were the same size or smaller than those of a regular size screen, or if your fingers cannot be detected by a capacitive digitiser.

In my view, despite Samsung USA's advertizing, the i717 in it's factory state, would really best be suited to the eldery, large print requiring market, which I do not fall in to, and as such, makes me immensely thankful for the teams and individuals here, and elsewhere that have made the i717 the device that Samsung sold me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sizemore2000:
I personally love the big screen. So you have to charge a little more when you watch videos. I love the pen. When someone calls and tells me to take this number down, I put them on speaker, pull out my s-pen, and start writing on my s-memo. Great stuff. I made my family cards with s-note, and take screeshots with my pen and than write on them and email them.

What other phone can u do that with?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carhigh:
So now we have to tell people the phones screen is in no way more useful then other phones screens. Wtf that's plain silly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andROIDS:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Change your DPI to something like 240 and you'll have much greater use of the real estate. Don't know how you can complain about the best smartphone screen to date. I also don't see how anybody can complain about something they bought so long as they did a bit of research first...you did actually play with it before you bought it, right? If you don't like it, return it, plain and simple.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jagpoag:
Pretty simple to understand if you read everything he typed. He's trying to thank the devs here for making the Note everything that Samsung promised and more. Nothing new at all around XDA. We all buy these phones and then come here to make them perform as they should. I don't understand the i-fan comment or the others but then again, I actually read everything that's posted.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] nickg2027:
I was cleaning out my desk and found the $25 credit that came with the Infuse. I am running CM10 and tried reinstalling the samsung media hub from the market and it tells me it is incompatible. I also tried pulling the apk out of the official release and it installs just fine but upon running it for the first time, it says it needs to update in order to run properly. Then, of course it fails to update from the market.

Any suggestions on how to get the media hub installed on CM10 or is my only option is to go back to stock, download my $25 worth and then upgrade back up to CM10?

Thanks,
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Its expired...I had one to...

Anyways if you want media hub you have to go to GB, download and update to the latest version, make a back up then install that backup on cm10 (don't restore data)

I am on CM10 I am trying to use NFC but it's not working at all. Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SquallLHeart:
I dunno.. my only guess is to check your settings and see if it's enabled.. I'm on CM10 and haven't had problems using NFC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bilbo524:
Same here. I have had no issues with NFC, and have used Google Wallet a few times now. I don't know of any issues with NFC in the latest builds of CM10.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krobinso2295:
I have it enabled, another thing is i keep getting a message saying google wallet doesn't work

for this device. Is there something I did wrong before or after flashing?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bilbo524:
You need the modified Google Wallet APK for it to work in CM10: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1810118

Use the APK from step 3.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Is it included in decks nightlies? I could not for the life of me get my phone to recognized the modified apk, was gonna try the zip and saw the new nightly, flashed that first and gw was installed and working
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bilbo524:
AFAIK it is included in the builds he posts on IRC, but not in the official nightlies.

Edit: To get CM10 to recognize the modified APK, do not install it. Instead, copy it to /system/app and /data/app. Be sure to change the ownership and permissions of those copies to match the other APKs in those directories. Do this with a file manager app such as Root explorer, as the /system/app directory will need to be remounted as read/write. Then reboot and it should be in your app drawer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Lol did that and it didn't take, it happens. That's why I jumped to decks nightlies. I pushed rewrote permissions and erased dalvik and cache to be sure, even trued fix permissions and it just wouldn't take lol also it can't be installed normally anyway
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bilbo524:
Weird. I didn't have any issues getting the app installed, just got the "Adding card..." forever issue that some had. It finally added the card successfully after like the 10,000th time doing it lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Yeah I know, I pushed it to 4 phones and they all worked, sometimes I like to think my phone can't be tamed. Makes it all the more interesting
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krobinso2295:
Google wallet should not work.

Just got of IRC and found out from freeza that CM10 does not have NFC support, so Google wallet shouldn't be working at all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bilbo524:
My NFC is working fine. Just used Google wallet to pay for dinner...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krobinso2295:
Did you do anything before you flashed CM10 like clear Google wallet or something that makes yours work?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bilbo524:
Didn't use wallet before flashing cm10. I just used the modified apk and followed the instructions for the needed permissions.

I do have the latest radio though. That may make a difference.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kaos420:
You guys are histerical. The modified apk works fine I use wallet daily with cm10

Flash this from recovery. Don't update in market. Works fine.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eraste:
Hello again, Here I have compiled the sounds that are on the nexus 7 into an AROMA installer that you can now pick which ones you want to install in your One X!

These sounds have for the most part been incorporated into the major roms including CLeanROM V by their devs.​

Featured here you will have the choice of installing the following from the aroma installer:

Nexus 7 Notification sounds

Nexus 7 Alarm sounds

Nexus 7 Ringtones

Nesus 7 system UI sounds nexus 7 has no volume sound so your stock volume sound will remain.

There is also a return to stock option that will replace the Nexus 7 system ui sounds with the stock HTC one X ui sounds if you decide you don't like the Nexus 7 ones.

Without further ado:

Prerequisites to install:

Unlocked bootloader

Custom recovery TWRP latest version recommended.

Copy of the nexus7sounds zip on your sd card

Installation:

Meet the above listed prerequisites

Reboot your phone to recovery

select install from TWRP home screen

Navigate to the nexus7sounds.zip

select it

swipe to install

aroma will open choose which sounds you want, flash

wipe cache/dalvik

reboot phone

voila

To return your systemUI sounds to stock simply run the aroma installer again and choose to install stock ui sounds on second screen of sounds.

Thanks for looking and please hit the Thanks button if you use this mod! Enjoy.

:cool:

Ive noticed some cwm-r versions are kind of "reversed" too when it comes to backup/restore and install from locations... when you chose internal the cwm-r uses the external and the other way around. :) so if you have chosen to backup to internal but it put it on external anyways then try to do the backup to external to have it on the internal sd :D don't know if that's the case with version you use though

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
So I'm watching tv, and I plug in my phone to charge it a bit because the GPS had gotten stuck on this morning and I burned my battery down to 40%. All of a sudden I hear it buzzing over and over again...like a reboot loop.

So I pull it out of the charger, pull the battery and let it try to boot. Gives the samsung screen for a moment, then flickers, and again to the reboot loop. Holding down power for 10 sec makes it do the same thing, I can't force it into recovery or DL mode without it bootlooping either! At one point I was able to get to the download mode screen, but just 3 seconds and the screen goes black, and back to bootlooping.

I literally did nothing to it. Only thing I did different today was the GPS got stuck (which it has done before), I rebooted the phone, then when it booted again I went ahead and just shut off the GPS. But this was like 20 minutes before this started happening.

So what can I do? Right now its plugged into my computer charging while off, seems to be the only thing it can do without bootlooping.

Running CM9.1 Nightly 9/3 with included kernel and LC8 radio (I think)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
My first guess is your battery is shot. i was gonna recommend the power button failure but if its staying off it might not be that. but id let it charge fully then try to boot up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
Thanks, oddly after a bit of messing around finally got it to boot up. Immediately backed up in CWM....seems to be acting OK now. Idk what happened...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i'll guess, the USB connector got short-circuited when you plugged in, and it caused a cascade failure that fried the SD card or something else inside the phone

there was a factory defect back then with the old SGS 1 (i9000m) model, they fixed that after the 3rd batch, everyone with an old phone from 1st and 2nd release batches, were able to exchange i for a new one.

however in your case, that's not a factory defect, but you plugged it wrong (my guess)

because it has happened to me before when i plugged it in, but the battery was still not charging even after several minutes, yet the phone was getting really really hot

then i unplug, and plug it back in and got the sound feedback "tuu tuud" and then it was actually charging after a few minutes

the first time around even though the charging icon changed, there was no feed back sound, and that was the key, it was not plugged in properly.

so after that time, i always made sure to verify to make sure the phone was plugged in properly and not just relay on he visual icon.

check back after a few minutes, to make sure the phone doesn't get very hot, and it actually increased 1%
