Good evening guys-

After updating from ICS to JellyBean, my gps cannot find or lock onto any satellites.

If I enable wifi, its accurate to 20meters.. If not, it won't lock even after 15 minutes.

Any help is greatly appreciated-
[Samsung Infuse 4G] brian Marshall:
mine has been similar in PA2.00 and CM10.

It actually will lock after a long time. Sometimes up to 30 minutes.

Interested in any answers... I noticed in the gps.conf file agps appears to be off. I don't know if that is the issue.

Unfortunately searching for a fix just reveals too much information with a lot of supposed fixes, but no consensus so far as i can tell.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Actually agps was turned off to improve lock times...some people noticed no difference with it off, others noticed huge improvements with half the lock time

You can change it to true, then wipe cache and dalvic cache in recovery and see if it makes a difference
[Samsung Infuse 4G] brian Marshall:
is that a 'go ahead and try it, it wont work, but go ahead and try it anyway' ?

It seems like a lot of people are having problems with GPS in jellybean, and some aren't. There's so many 'this worked for me' solutions, but I'm starting to think it's coincidence.

Someone mentioned installing and running copilot once. Did that. it didn't work. Without root permissions what could it really change to improve anything?

I ran Faster Fix. It edited my gps.conf file (which it doesn't tell you that it does) It didn't help. it might have made it slightly worse.

I found a few other gps.conf files for jellybean ROMs, but haven't tried those yet.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
This is how we learn and share our info, by trying. Just make a back up of anything that you want to change or replace.

GPS works perfect on my PA Jelly Beaned Infuse. First I ran GPS Test, it took a good twenty minutes if not more for it's first lock.

But now, I get a lock in a few seconds.

GPS Test, is free in the market.

Planning my escape!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ixijimixi:
GPS Test has kicked my GPS in the butt and got it working with almost every ROM I've flashed. Once you get over that first delay (downloading satellite data?) the first time you run it, it locks on fairly well afterward. At least, that's been my experience
[Samsung Infuse 4G] brian Marshall:
I've already done that. It helped the next time I ran maps. When i left work yesterday I had maps give me turn by turn directions home. It took a couple minutes to lock, but after that it was working.

Then this morning I tried again. It wouldn't lock at all on the way in to work this morning. (only a 15 minute drive)

I also tried editing my GPS conf file this morning. I tried using ES file explorer, root explorer, and flashing. All three resulted in an empty file. ES says it was successful. Root explorer gives an error message 'there was not enough free disk space to complete the paste operation'

Flashing says it was successful, but again, it ends with an empty file. 0 bytes.

The file i used for the flash attempt is here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1817558

With the gps.conf file I'm going to go leave the phone out in my car with gps on and see if it locks.

I understand that developers do a lot of work on this. I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just see a lot of people having the same issue and no agreement on a solution or even what the actual problem is.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] choffman:
I believe this is because there is no solution. If you want to try to help solve the problem, "adb shell" in and start tinkering.

You'll quickly find that GPS is anything but an easy thing to fix. A good SUPL provider for you may be completely different for others.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hattrickinc:
I can't find the Answer that fixed it for me,

but what I did:

Plug phone in, disable wifi, leave phone near window, and let

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwyLDYsImNvbS5hbmRyb2lkLmdwc3Rlc3QiXQ..

that app run... :45 minutes later it locked (GPS icon on Status Bar stopped blinking and showed locked, solid) with 7 satellites.

waited, rebooted the phone, and it locked in about 3 minutes.

-hope this helps.

other than that, love this ROM!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] brian Marshall:
Now that is an actual answer.

I suppose part of the problem for us noobs sorting through 300 page threads is all the filler with people saying "great rom omgz so awesome" even when they are posting on the first page and the ROM hasn't even been up long enough to do much more than flash it and swipe through the home screen.

All through out the CM10 and PA threads there are people saying GPS is working flawlessly... and then other people saying they have some fix. I guess people aren't supposed to post frivolous stuff in the dev threads, but they do.

Anyway, I ended up going back to GB as GPS is something I really need.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wevsspot:
Thankfully, I'm one of the lucky ones who have always had a working GPS. It worked great when I was running AT&T stock Froyo, really good while I was on XDA GB roms, and fair > good after I went to PA JB. By far Scott's latest release of PA JB has been the best in this respect, but I can't help but tinker now that I've turned into a Droid zombie :) Strictly speaking the stock GPS configuration included on Scott's PA JB ROM worked charmingly, but I still had an issue whenever the phone went into deep sleep (say overnight without using it) the GPS lock the next morning took almost as much time coming from a sleep state as a cold boot. So, Like DaMeatMan I decided to give

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1881655

a go. I chose the flashable option, and like DMM also edited the prop file. I picked the Google "no SSL" version 3.1 instead of the AT&T specific version. I figured I would give that one a try.

I'll keep everyone posted, buy my first impression (could be placebo effect) is that this configuration file and modification actually does improve over the original PA JB configuration by a small margin. Reported accuracy is better (by 10ft on average). Satellites in view and actually locking are 1-2 better than before. My main hope is that I can actually fire up Navigation in the morning and get working directions without having to fire up GPS Test first and relock all the NA satellites. I travel a lot, both for business and outdoor sports (hunting and fishing), and I have come to rely pretty heavily on GPS. I got spoiled when I got my first GPS capable phone because that meant I could leave my handheld GPS at home most of the time and that was one less thing I had to carry.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] K.Flo:
I have been have many of the same problems as others in this thread but I tried the fix in the S3 thread quoted above and it seems to have helped for right now. The first time I ran GPS Test after rebooting it did take a while (5-8min), but after that I get a lock in few seconds. I used the Google "no SSL" package also. I will do some more testing tomorrow and see if its reliable.

We had lost lots of developers like Nik, l0st.prophet because of their handset upgrade. These guys are willing to work on IncS development but unfortunately they don't have handset. I have seen many people willing to donate money and even spare their handset for development work.

Looking all these, I have got one idea.

Can someone take initiative and provide remote access of his PC and IncS for development work to these incredible developers?

I am not software guy or developer. So, I don't know path forward...somebody needs to explore.

but if it is possible, we will be back again in the era of development.

Just to clarify, we have not Lost Nik he is just waiting for new device to arrive .Thanks again to the amazing fjordell.

Sorry guys,

I am also not aware how to access boot screen remotely.

But, I have seen many technical support with remote access, so I just wanted you guys to think and respond if feasible.

If you feel not possible, we can drop this idea.
[HTC Incredible S] glussier:
If the phone is in fastboot and hooked to the computer, you could give full access to your computer, so someone could use it as if he was at your home. But, I fail to see the greatness of this idea.

I have an IncS and I like-it, but I'm a realist. This phone as had better days, and, soon enough, it will be time to jump on newer and better technology.

Someone please explain to me how to set a wallpaper picture up where it doesn't blow up the picture so much. I have several wallpaper pictures available but when I select one it pops up a box with a square around it. When I expand the square box or just leave it set as it pops up, when I save the wallpaper the picture on the wallpaper is zoomed in so much it screws up the background.

Sorry for the stupid question but what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Nakel:
This is a "hands on" review of the Spigen/Steinheil "Ultrafine" screen protector. From their website:

PROS:

1. Reduces glare a bunch.

2. Very fingerprint resistant.

3. VERY nice feel with finger input.

4. After switching to the white nib, VERY nice feel with s-pen. Feels and sounds like you're using a pencil.

5. Cut very well, easy to install.

CONS:

1. Adds artifacts to the screen. Looks like a fine grain. Too much for me, not worth the benefits. As an idea, I put one on my wife's Ipad 3 before I installed mine. Once on, the Ipad3 screen definitely looked WORSE, by a fair margin, than the Note screen naked. So, yeah, if you're looking for a great display, this is not the screen protector to get.

2. Since the white nib is harder, you hear a "tap" every time the nib hits the screen. Annoying.

3. No cutout for the light sensor.

I'm not happy at all with this. Just too much grain. I have the Crystal Clear version on my Skyrocket; I'm going to try that on the Note. Using the black & white nib on the skyrocket has a nice feel. Just a little bit of added resistance, feels more like a pen. Of course, I can't really write on the skyrocket, so only time will tell if I like it on the Note.

If reducing glare is more important than a crystal clear display to you, you might really like this screen protector. If not, pass it by.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] sledgie:
Well this is a little unfortunate to hear, however, this is the anti-glare screen protector of theirs, correct? I moved to Steinheil last year after someone said it was the best hands down and you couldn't even tell it was on, for the ultra clear version. I bought one to try it out and it really was A.) Easy to install, no mess ups, B.) Clearer than anything i'd seen and C.) Durable. Bought one for all android users on my account and the iphone. I was waiting for it to come to the Prime but it never did.

SO i'm curious, have you had an anti-glare screen protector on your tablet before? Ever expereienced one? I'm not knocking you down - but some people do not like it because indeed, it makes the screen grainy, due to layers in order to have the appearance of anti glare.

I had another manufacturer's anti-glare on my prime when i had it, and it did indeed negate the effects of glare especially outside. I think some people don't mind the changing of the screen effects (or hardly notice it) and some people notice it terribly, which is why if you go to a electronics storee such as Best Buy and see the Shield Protectors or whatever they are called anti-glare for the iphone, at the bottom of the packaging it states it does make the screen look grainer, in so many words. For an ipad3 with higher resolution than 1920x1200 like the TF700 i can't imagine this is good. The thickness (3H) means the quality of the image should suffer.

MY real question, however, is did you write Steinheil back and complain and get it exchanged or a new one sent out to you? They are known (in my experience) for their quality and customer satisfaction. ALso, how much did you pay for it and more importantly, was it easy to apply without getting hair/dust/etc. In it? On the phones I have it's extremely easy to apply - honest to goodness, however a tablet in my opinion is much more complicated to not get hair/dust/etc on it.

ALso I want to state - this is or should NOT be confused with their Crystal Clear model. THe crystal clear I have on 3 Galaxy S II's and 1 iphone and it truly is, crystal clear (but leaves smudges).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Nakel:
Yes, this is the matte version, not the crystal clear. I have the crystal clear on my skyrocket and it's gorgeous. I have tried other matte screen protectors, on other tablets, and I do have to say this one has less graininess than the others I tried. I will be writing steinheil to see if they will exchange... As I noted in my review, I found it very easy to install.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] salmonsushi:
get the crystal version if you don't want the rainbow effect.

I bought a tf101 earlier this year and I'm thinking about selling it and buying a N7 (I've actually have it listed online right now on eBay )anyhow my question is should I buy the N7 or get a different tablet.?

I'm looking for a good tablet to play games on (Dead trigger) with good battery life and portable.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
If you have only $250-ish to spend, I think the Nexus 7 is a no brainer.

If you can spend $500, then a TF700 for more storage, better screen, better outputs, processor, build quality, etc. Assuming you find the 10 inch size still portable enough.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaycustom:
I had a TF201 and sold it to buy a N7. I even had the dock, so I had every port imaginable. Even though I loved having SD, HDMI, USB, etc, I love my N7 even more. It's so much faster,smoother, and snappier than the Prime was, and out of the box JB is basically bug free compared to ICS from Asus. This is my first 7", and I use it even more than the Prime because it's so much more portable. Check my sig below...lol.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kratos313:
Thanks guys I had the dock for my TF101 as well but I purchased the GumDrop case and was just a pain to remove it to use the dock so I sold the dock a few months ago. The 10.1 in tablet was portable in the beginning but as I started taking it more places its portability became less and less to the point where I had to carry a backpack just to keep my tablet in so that I can keep my hands free when not using it so that is the reason why I plan on selling it
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhomiec:
I was in your boat just a month ago. Same deal, bought TF101 + dock near the start of the year. Took it everywhere at first, but not so much later on. Sold it last month, bought an N7 and couldn't be more happier. I can fit it in my pocket with a case, so it goes with me everywhere.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmit37:
I made the same move. I sold my Tf101 and bought the Nexus 7. I find that I take my Nexus 7 out of the house most of the time whereas the Tf101 was relegated to the sofa due to size.

However when sat on the sofa I would prefer a 10" tab however it wouldn't be the tf101. Probably the Nexus 10 :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poondog:
IMO if you don't use the extra features like the sdcard, dock, usb, then go with the N7

If you sell the transformer, you will miss these features if you use them often.

Otherwise, the N7 is better in almost every way, and you will get used to the size and weight difference
