[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sino316:
It's actually not your fault -- I've added GPS Doctor to my initial post *after* you've suggested it & I've tried it, for bookkeeping and so that other who try to help see at one place what I've tried doing so far.

Yep, I've tried it outside. It's a Brittish model, not a Greek one, but I'm trying to use it in Greece ATM. There's no indication whatsoever that it has resolved a connection to a satellite when I'm trying, so I guess it'd be reasonable to say that it hasn't reached one so far.

I'll try your suggestion. 30 minutes of straight satellite-searching it is -- thanks again!

*Update*: 30 mins doesn't seem to do the trick. I'll keep trying, then, until a better suggestion comes up.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinx100:
There is an app called GPS Test or GPS Test Plus which will show the strength of each satellite signal received. My Nexus 7 often gets a lock inside a wood frame house but going outside with a clear view of the full sky works fastest. Hope you are not using a conductive case as the antennas are on the rear of the tablet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sino316:
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I've tried GPS Test -it's under the "couple of other apps" that I've mentioned trying in my OP- but it seems that my Nexus 7 doesn't even get a satellite signal to begin with -- thus GPS Test displays no information.

I'm not using a case and I've tried leaving it for about 30 minutes under the clear sky. No signal at all. I have it by the window, ATM, just searching & on charge.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sino316:
Okay, after quite some time out in the open sky and next to the window, I'm quite sure it's not about finding the time to contact satellites or anything of the such. The device simply cannot find my location.

Any new ideas?

Send it back if possible,sounds like a faulty GPS.

There are location setting hidden in accounts,see if they are on.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjtoth:
My problem with the GPS is that it will SEE the satellites (according to several GPS test apps), it just won't lock on to any - no matter how strong the signal or whether or not I'm indoors or out.

Same GPS issue with N7

Hi OP, did you get any solution for your problem?

I am facing a similar issue, I am trying to use GPS on a US bought N7 in India.

Is this a common problem, i have tried many gps apps, but none shows my location.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
If your N7 is new and GPS never worked properly and your various location settings are correct, you might want to return & exchange it for a different unit as it could be a hardware problem, beyond any software or Apps-based solutions here. If you are using a weather app, does it find & use your location info?

I had a similar issues with GPS and eventually returned that malfunctioned unit locally to exchange it, upgraded from 16GB to 32GB unit as it was also having the random touch-screen key-pressed issues, etc. It either won't find the location and/or is off by a few miles to as much as a thousand plus miles, sometimes putting the N7 in the middle of the ocean, LOL. The new 32GB unit is flawless.

What I recommend is to try to download from Google "Play Store" - GPS Status by MobiWIA (v 4.0.1 is what I'm running on mine - has been using this for 2 years on multiple devices and it worked for us here - USA) Basically, it download & update, refresh and give assisted hand to the built-in GPS receiver - it run in the background and will turn on to track/lock on to various GPS satellites, inititially showing 5 to 7 sources indoor and at many as 8 to 12 sources within 60 seconds. Outdoor and clear view of open sky, it will lock faser & find more satellites. It is ad-supported and free, not a metered trial-ware

With a WiFi signal, Google Maps open quickly and zoomed it quickly to my locations in 15 seconds - very accurate and as good as when I'm using it on our HTC devices - same is true when I use Nav(free) USA - free off-line GPS software with preloaded maps as it does not drain the battery quickly.

I like the giant 7" screen for "cool" naviagation but until I'm comfortable with a solid & secure mount inside our Honda CRV, I'll stick with the smaller 4" screen of our HTC smartphone with unlimited 3G data access, as a drop will risk breaking the fragile glass lens that's prone to cracking.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtg7:
similar issue but...

Had already tried Faster Fix (which gave error) and Faster GPS (which managed to reset GPS.conf) but still couldn't get Google Maps to lock in GPS. Was wondering if problem was GMaps or N7.

I googled 'nexus 7 can't get GPS lock' and ended up here. Decided to try GPS Status which showed everything working as it should ('copy location to clipboard' option lets you verify the location via browser). Went back to GMaps hoping GPS Status might help it along, but still got the same 'your location is temporarily unavailable.'

So not hardware must be software. Didn't have to look far checked 'other apps' in the GPS Status program and discovered Orux Maps, free. Upon starting and clicking GPS button didn't take it more than a few seconds to get the lock.

OP issue might still be hardware but thought I'd post here in case someone else ends up here.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosmax:
i know its an old post but i am facing the same issues here! at the beggining i thought i have got a faulty device. Thats why i bought a used one and tested it before purchase live. The GPS was working just fine. I installed Cyanogen 13 opened GPS Status again and found Satelite. I thought everything was working like it should be. After 10 Min. i went to the car and drove to a friend without any issues. After 3 hours i went home again without any problems. But as the tablet restarted i never got a satelite signal again... always looking for my position.

I am pretty sure thats a software issue. Went back to stock firmware. Problem remains.

I got rid of my note 1 and picked up the Gnote 2.

I can keep on compiling gnote 1 releases of LiquidSmooth - but support will be limited and there might be bugs that i myself can no longer test.

(unless someone has a an extra one for some reason - but i will not accept nor ask for monetary donations to get another one. no need for anyone to go out of their way)

I will only blind release if the team allows me too (we don't like releasing for devices we don't actually own ourselves.)

Thank you everyone that showed support and love for a rom that brought life into a phone that was almost instantly abandoned by tmo. i hope i was able to aleviate some of you that felt cheated out of such a bad decision by tmo.

log into play and download TWRP and install.

now in the all-in-one folder data then su folder you see a SU file, open you htc in computer, and drag file into it.

now use if you want, all-in-one, to boot into recovery, or turn off hox+ then reboot by power and vol- at same time.

you now see TWRP recover, select install, schrol down to the SU zip then select and then swip the install icon at bottom.

agree and install.

it reboots

then on play install root checker.

job done, you are now rooted!!!

[General Questions and Answers] T4underbolt:
Hello people!

I've bought SGS+ 2 days ago. It has a strange problem that doesn't the phone hard to use, but I'm afraid that there is something wrong with hardware and I'd like to hear your opinion.

What is the problem?

1.Turning on: When I push and hold the power button on the screen shows a baterry and it looks like it is charging, but there is no charger plugged in. Then I have to press power button once more to get the right boot to android OS.

2. Battery icon behaviour: After the android OS boots I see that the battery icon has a lightning sign on it like it is charging but its not. Same thing appears in Settings->About phone. It shows charging(USB) or charging(AC). Battery usage is always shown as 0 sec and:

-100% for the screen

or

-nothing

or

-lot of processes including android OS twice(one with 38% and the other one with 12% etc.)

3.Samsung Kies mode automatically on: After first boot The phone behaves very strange, it opens MTP Application every 1 second as well as it running Multimedia scanner everytime. I tryed to change mode for Mass storage in USB settings but it says I have to plug out USB cable(but it is not plugged in).I need to reboot my phone and then Samsung Kies mode turn itself on only once and behaving like it connects to the computer when I press home button I can use phone normal then but battery still looks like it is chragining.

4.Wi-Fi strange behaviour: I can connect to Wi-Fi but then in the broswer when I want to browse the site before it starts to load an error shows up "There is no internet connection" and I have to options [Settings] or [OK]. Whatever I choose Page will load it self and I can browse it. After choosing another page I have to press OK again and this pop up window shows before loading every single page.

What did I try to do?

I used ODIN to install the newest original 2.3.6 ROM(only one file tar.MD5). I got it done but problem is not solved(expect the one thing:when I turn on the phone in this clear 2.3.6 ROM there is no need to push the power button twice, the battery doesnt shows up at the start of booting like it was in branded 2.3.6 from PLAY all the others problems are still here)

My "fears":I'm afraid that there is something wrong with the phone hardware itself. I want to try to root the phone and install CM9 or 10 in hope it will solve the problem.

My question is could you tell me what can be wrong with my phone and if a repair service will repair my phone. I have the receipt but my warranty has no stamp etc. If its needed I can do a short video and put it on YT so you can see the problem on your own eyes.
[General Questions and Answers] jabrif:

On Friday I did Root to my galaxy s3 and everything went smoothly. I installed titanium backup and backed up the phone and arranged everything, but I have a problem when I try to see if there is a firmware update there is a message that my phone is modified and I can't update my phone . I can see only through the computer if there is an update. Am I obligated to update via PC only and I can not update over the air?

Another question: Is the phone faster with the interface of the Samsung touch wiz or faster with Launcher like nova launcher?

Another question: Is there anything important I should know before replacing the ROM if I want or I just need to select Rom and follow instructions?

Use m2sd script ! Its very good ! But first u have to partition your sd card and make a ext partition either by recovery or minitool(windows). Also ext partition is not supported by stock rom/kernel so its better if u flash any custom rom/kernel.:)

Press thanks if helped:D

As I like to keep the stock rom/kernel and it doesn't support ext as you said, Could you suggest other options?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Parth_14:
If u wanna keep your stock rom/kernel the best method is by partitioning sd card to a secondary fat32 partition.....then use link2sd( its free download from playstore)

Press thanks if i helped:D
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] xpmode:
link2sd will link your apps to sd, but if I remember correctly, it won't link your dalvik cache. And when you install a lot of apps, your dalvik cache would fill the entire internal memory, resulting in the low space error again.

If you really want to go with the stock kernel, you can get the kernel source from HTCDev, do the necessary work on it to get init.d working with sysinit exec method, compile the kernel, flash it, partition your sd with ext2/3/4 and then use mounts2sd to reverse mount /data/ to /sd-ext/, practically turning your ext partition to your internal memory.

I've got the Galaxy Note N7100, and when I open up the gallery on it's own, it's fine, and loads up the phone photos along with those on facebook, dropbox, g+ etc almost instantaneously.

But when I try to select a pic in an app (like PicsArt, Camera Zoom FX, AfterFocus Pro etc), the stock gallery opens, and then it takes AGES for any folder to load (even the local ones, except for camera; but even the camera folder takes ages to be accessible).

It takes like 30 seconds sometimes!

What's wrong with it? Is it just me?

And could I disable it, so it doesn't automatically start trying to pull folders from G+, Facebook etc whenever I open gallery, be it in an app or independently?

My Nexus 4 used to be almost instantaneous in this regard...

Do you have lots of pictures or film in your gallery?

But yeah, the gallery's still lagging. I don't have a lot of albums on the phone, but the gallery grabs all the pics from my google+(/picasa?) and splits them into albums by date.... And a lot of them!

I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 on an HTC Desire device, with S2E extending the internal storage to the SD card.

But now, after the usual HTC logo, I get the Cyanogen animation looping (the round is turning for a few seconds, then the screen becomes black and the animation restarts).

I tried to remove the battery and try again, no way. Also tried to mount sd-ext from the recovery, still the same.

Any tip ?

Hello everybody,

probably this question has been thrown several time... I made a search in the old posts but i didn't find anything interesting related to this topic.

I recently bought a Kindle Fire HD 7" and I intend to unlock it with the rooting procedure.

Surfing the net I found several procedures, automatic(Qemu) and manual... but at the end i never succeeded.

With the manual procedure I got stuck with the following command: echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop

The response was "Permission denied" after of that I was not able to go ahead.

Now i'm wordering, is it due to the 7.2.2 update?

is there any workaround?
