No GPS

GPS had been deteriorating for months.

Finally and suddenly I was getting zero satellites with GPS test on Cyanogenmod 10.2.1

GPS icon would blink for a few seconds then vanish entirely

Screwdriver fix alone did not help.

Subsequently below solved problem right away, which I copied from an old thread:

1. Turn off GPS

2. Go to Settings /Application manager / Google services framework

clear data

3. go to settings / Application manager / maps

clear data

uninstall

4. reboot

5. Reinstall maps from android market

6. Reboot

gps test then found satellites instantly even inside

I recommend trying screwdriver fix first then this if no joy.

I also disabled privacy guard on gps test although I am not certain this was needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ducass:
Gracias!! Thanks!! My S3 GPS is alive!

Es gracioso, un pequeño papel arregla un error en un equipo de alta tecnología... Jajajaja

Hacía meses que mi equipo tomaba señal de GPS con dificultad y en las últimas semanas ya ni eso.

Funciona!!

Un detalle: luego de despegar la cinta para colocar el papel, ya no pude colocarla otra vez sin algo de pegamento porque se levantaba.

Utilicé una gotita de pegamento vinílico que permite retirarlo si fuera necesario.

------------------------------

It's funny, a little paper fix a bug in a hi-tech ... Hahahaha

For months the GPS signal was very weak and in the recent weeks there was no signal at all.

Now It works!

A detail: after taking off the tape I could not put it back without some glue because it stood.

I used a drop of a vinyl glue that allows me removing the tape if necessary.

aluminium bumper

Tightening the screws I had to remove my aluminium bumper, sort of like this one

http://www.dx.com/p/protective-alum...alaxy-note-3-n9000-golden-267019#.UzNcnPl5MpU

and noticed there is a dramatic difference between gps reception with or without bumper, without bumper it's much better.

i am samsung fascinate user with gps problems too... i will try this fix as soon as i have time to open my back cover... :D

This solved my GPS issue that I've been dealing with forever. Locked after only a couple seconds, and hasn't dropped in over a minute. Awesome, thanks for the tutorial!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidxxxxx:
I bought the proper Phillips head screwdriver and tight and everything and it immediately fixed my problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sladhued:
HAHA you f*ckin kiddin me man! it worked! great work there samsung! how hard can it be to tighten the screws by themself? xD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buylow12:
THANKS!

I registered just so I could say thanks.

I had my phone replaced under warranty back in December because the proximity sensor was no longer work and I had problems with the GPS almost immediately. Verizon of course just recommended a factory reset. The first time it seemed to help for a while and then crapped out again. I just dealt with it for a month or two and the called them again. Same thing again except this time it wasn't working straight off the bat. So then I called the to get another warranty replacement today and got the news that since my warranty period was over and I had the replacement for 90+ days I was SOL. 90 days is not long enough in my opinion for a device that cost hundreds of dollars and seems to fail at the drop of a hat. On top of that my mom used my upgrade to get a new flip phone:crying:.

Anyways decided to download GPS status to see what was going on. Previously the GPS would cut in and out whenever it damn well pleased. Amazingly as soon as I opened the app. I was getting much more stable usage. It would still lose the signal but maybe once every 30 minutes instead of every 30 secs. Better but not perfect, plus I never got better then 35ft or so.

I decided to run to Lowes and buy myself a tiny screwdriver. I got a 000 philips and first I backed the screw out just a little bit. I powered up the phone and bam no lock what so ever. Then I tightened them all up as best I could and now I'm getting 30ft in my house where I was getting nothing and 10 ft outside. Thanks again, you saved me from buying a new phone.:good:

It pisses me off that Verizons first instinct is to wipe the phone. It's a real pain to have to set it back up. How do they not know about this? It seems like an extremely common problem and a simple fix. Even if they don't want to tell people they have to tighten up some screws they could at least tell you to have the tech at the store do it. Samsung is just as bad, they surely know of this problem. They should be training the carriers techs about it and it should have been corrected in the next production batch. Disappointing..... but I'm still going to give this phone to my dad now that it's working and get the S5.:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] leon8922:
It did work.

Worked fine fpr me, many thanks i tought that my s3 was broken.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jaykay0079:
Thanks man this worked for me...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drwigginton:
This actually works!!

I have to say that, like other replies, I was very skeptical of this fix, and I had no expectations that it would help. I am shocked! It actually worked! Out of the ten screws only three of mine turned. And that was only maybe a quarter of a turn at best. Anyway, my hats off to the folks who figured this one out!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aussie2sweden:
Fixed my S4, just by tightening a bunch of screws

Worked on my S4, after trying everything from format to gps tool boxes.. Thanks heaps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] applesauce25r624:
even the slighest tightening on two of the screws made all the difference in the world

such a bootleg design x_x

thank you greatly for this fix !
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sakuryu:
I really like the fingerprint scanner, does any rom/locker app have mutli-finger unlock navigation? Like Index=unlock middle=SMS etc etc?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dedebekri:
AFAIK, no.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
I think the underlying support library (which is AFAIK proprietary) does not allow for this functionality - I believe all you can get from it is "authorization successful" or "authorization failed", you can't know which finger was used. Maybe that's a security feature too...

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] OrrPenn18:
Awesome! You could make it with the colors used in the PA Banner in your sig. :D

Just a request, could you make this for CM 10.1? Either ways, thank you!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] phadly:
Video shows an old version..new version have eyes blinking at last..for CM10.1 just need to change AOSPA3+ right? or plus you want me to change the color become blueish? :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] OrrPenn18:
Yup need to change the AOSPA3+ :D

No, I guess the colorful version will be darn good. Though you can make two versions if you're free enough. Haha. Muchas Gracias.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] phadly:
Ok I'll try to make one for cm10.1..or cyanogenmod only?

I'm using mouse on s3 via otg cable, left click and scrolling are working on launcher and other apps.

But when im using it on game (currently Hunggry Shark Evo) i can't even click "Play" with my mouse. How can i fix it ?

And also, do you know an app that can make shortcut with my mouse ? (Like right click is back, scroll click is home menu) ?

Thanks !
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
I assume, but I might be wrong, that the games have to support other input methods than the touch screen. At least that is how it works with my Bluetooth PS3 controller which only works native with games that support controllers, for anything else I have to use Sixaxis to map buttons. So this might be the case for the mouse as well?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SixthSandwich:
Yes, exactly like that but for mouse

I'm also looking for apps that allow me to put shortcut to my mouse button
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soldier Blue:
I'm looking for hardware device on what compact device to hook up to my HDTV for turning it into a media center primarily and a light PC otherwise.

I'm interested in something like the RK3066 because it seems to have decent performance compared to the older single core devices.

Things it needs to do:

- run XBMC, stream media from fileserver via wifi

- stream another display to it in 1080p

So.. basically run Android or Linux effectively enough. This one supports bluetooth which seems useful for peripherals.

Things I might do with it:

- put linux and steam on it

- light browsing ans basic gaming

- hook a webcam to it

I've built full HTPCs before and I don't think I can do a compact one for anywhere near this price, even though it would be way more powerful. I also don't want a single purpose 'streaming box' solution that I can't replace the OS on. I see this as a cheaper way of doing 99% of what I want and I can still choose to replace it at anytime without feeling bad about it.

Any better performing options at this price, or similar options at lower price? Alternative hardware that I should be looking at?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NixZero:
if you have a bit of patience a few new ones based on rk3188 are launching that are a lot better, not only they are way faster (quad core, faster gpu, 2gb ram - around 18k antutu just as reference) , they solved the overheating and EM interferences that plagues rk3066 ones.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soldier Blue:
That's exactly what I wanted to know, since I'm not normally following the latest for this type of hardware. Do you know when these might be available?

I need the source code of a android application which relates with Mobile identification through palmprint biometrics or something which relates with palm for security reason.

Please help me

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ixon2001:
Im not on about the quality as that can easily be done what i mean is the software, personally i find the Nexus 4 camera software kinda awkward to use.

So what im asking is it possible to port over the camera software from let say a Galaxy S3 ect to the nexus 4, so you can have for instant one touch focus, change ISO ect ect, also get rid of the circle focus thing for something like a square box?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
Honestly this is my favorite camera app and it works great on the n4. Seems to focus on close up subjects MUCH better.

There is a lite version as well but I highly recommend buying the full version.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonjuraimi:
Good day everyone. So apparently I had the courage to root my device using clockwork mod using the i717 method. It was successful and I had superuser installed.

It couldn't get anymore worse. I attempted to install cyanogenmod and it failed. At the restore center (you hold down both volume rockers and the power button), it shows the android robot dead with a red exclamation mark when I attempted to install from a zip file. Fortunately, my phone was able to boot up without issues.

Just now, I installed a root checker app and it says that my phone is not properly rooted. Please, can anyone teach me how to unroot? I can jailbreak my itouch with no issues but this is very complex for me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonjuraimi:
Just to clarify, when I open up the zip file of the rom I transferred to my device, it suddenly starts copying to an unknown place of my computer. After that, it would open up the zip file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zalukajonet:
Odp: (Q) Help! How do I unroot my device?

flash stock rom via odin
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djodjoni:
Probably used wrong method. To unroot u just remove su if you want also rm superuser app. But the rest is not because of the root. Can you flash with odin?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonjuraimi:
Yes, I can flash using odin and I had just re-root my phone. The root checker now says that the phone is rooted.

Now the problems lie with the copying of rom zip files to my device. Whenever I tried to copy, it would stop around 3 quarter. When I try to open it up, it would start copying to a weird folder inside 'temp'.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djodjoni:
What is this rom? Link?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonjuraimi:
The rom is cyanogenmod. But this problem is not about the rom. Instead, it relates more to the transferring of the zip file from the computer to my device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonjuraimi:
It's okay. I had installed cyanogenmod through ROM manager and it's really cool!

[Android General] LonelyTANVIR:
All users of Android, and definitely most readers of this website, are likely familiar with Google Play Store, Android’s online directory that connects users with a vast library of Google-approved third-party content, ranging from music and video to third-party apps and e-books. If a newly leaked video today is any indication, Google is getting ready for a major refresh for Google Play, with enhanced features and a much-improved design.

Those who have been users of Google Play since its early days might remember its difficult-to-use user interface that dominated the first few months of the app’s life, until Google finally streamlined it a few years back. Since then, several minor updates have been made, though this is the first major upgrade to Google Play since 2011. The new upgrade features larger images and icons, as well as a more colorful and “matte” design, in line with the design trend seen the latest changes to the user interface across Google’s mobile apps. The settings pane has also been slightly changed around, making it slightly simpler to customize how items are displayed and downloaded.

As you have likely been able to tell from the demo video below, much of the app has not been populated with content as of yet, which suggests that it might be a few weeks before it actually reaches the hands of the general public. However, Google’s design trend is clear and will likely be welcomed by users who are looking to download content onto their Android devices in a simple and seamless way.

[YOUTUBE]www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VL-R4RPx3Q[/YOUTUBE]

Google Play has been available since the first Android release as the Android Market. Back then, it was mostly a directory for third-party apps for the newly-released platform. It was not until 2011 when the Android Market was revamped to feature more consumer-friendly content such as music, books, TV and video, while maintaining the apps section; this was also when the app was renamed Google Play Store. There is no clear indication for when this new redesign – dubbed as Google Play Store 4.0 – will make its way to Android devices, although judging by the nearly finished state of the app, it might not be too long.​
[Android General] TechMasta:
The new ui looks better than the old one in quite some places . but the homescreen of the old play store is better :p

I'm not sure if I should even think about this, but the Google Maps app is nearly always in the run queue (in the running processes queue under "Applications Manager"). It doesn't seem to take a lot of battery according to the "Battery" setting data. However, I hardly ever use maps unless I'm traveling, so I have to wonder what it might be actually doing, other than sitting in the run queue, hopefully not running?

I could freeze it until I need it, but I'm just curious what the maps app might be doing when I'm not using it...just ready to run in case I decide to use it...like on a list of apps/processes somewhere that are kept ready in case because someone decided that they were frequently used?

Just idle curiosity, I guess, seems like unnecessary overhead, but not like there aren't other processes that mostly sleep all the time *smile*.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NeoMagus:
Most likely its the Location services running

To turn it off you have to go settings>Location settings and uncheck Enable Location History, and turn off Report from this device and set to do not update otherwise it will run in the background constantly.. keep in mind this will affect Google Now if you use it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RogerSC:
Yes, I've got all that turned off...Decided to just freeze Google maps until I need it. Since I hardly ever use it, I don't miss seeing it in the app run queue *smile*. Hasn't affected anything that I use since I froze it, so I guess I'll just leave it that way for the moment. I'll be taking a trip in a couple of weeks, I'll bring it back then.

I can't get into clockwork, or any bootloader. Any attempt to do anything brings this screen up.
