I merely was responding in the attitude in which the statements had been written. Instead of going to other forums and trash talking Hyperdrive, wait it out and let Scott figure out the problem, more than likely it's an issue with the download/upload and not the rom itself. I get several are having the issue, however, once again, if the DEV can not replicate it, how is he supposed to fix it? Unless, those that are having the issues create some logs and start sending them to him.

Once again, I was not disagreeing with you having a gps lock, it's just crazy that people think because they are having an issue, scott should drop everything he's doing and fix it. Wait patiently, I'm sure it will be addressed and I'd appreciate you not reaming me a knew one. thanks. awesome.

PS i'm not saying you were, but I've already read other posters that have in fact talked poorly about Scott's ROM on other ROM's pages. This is not necessary, and that is what entitlement causes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
Hahah yeah lol you are telling me.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] midnightzak:
I noticed that as well, it shows RLS 5 in the "About Phone" section of the settings menu, but in the Hyperdrive OTA > ROM it shows "Version 4.0.0" - I'm sure there is nothing to it though :)

I you'll just need to install "My Verizon Mobile" from the playstore:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS52encuaHNzLm15dmVyaXpvbiJd

This will give you the app and the 1x1 widget.

SBreen has previously stated that he doesn't want to use the Over The Air updates because people won't read the thread before updating.

I enabled this earlier but so far it isn't working

Hyperdrive Control > Custom Settings > Advanced Mods > Nottach Xposed Tweaks > Lockscreen > Hidden Torch Settings

*It is stated here that the S4 isn't supported and not all mods will work*
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] christianstudebaker:
I understand people frustration but at the same time, this is only one problem. For some it's a big problem and for others a small one. I'm sure that this problem will be resolved in the near future. I've been on other roms where there were many more problems than this going on and people were not complaining or making as much of a deal as this. Please just wait for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] obsidianfirefly:
Well I did this exact thing to fix my issue with not being able to make backups in TWRP due to extremely large (700gb) data section. It fixed that issue but after reflashing the exact same download I had of RLS5 the GPS stopped working whereas it worked before I had done all this (with data and wifi off). So there is definitely something strange going on here, it's not completely bad downloads of the ROM nor is it hardware related. Something else is going on here...

I'm going to redownload from another mirror and retry to see how it all goes, but this really is strange
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ibukimasta:
did u install black it all out or anything that modifies framework files? cause i did and i had the same issue with the reboot menu just overwrite over framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from the rom zip file back to /system/framework/ and it'll work fine again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xaositek:
Right now I'm on RLS4 without any issues. With the millions of pages that stacked up today (yes I did read them) it's hard to confirm whether or not we can dirty flash (only wiping cache/dalvik) or if Scott's recommended a total wipe of everything. Either way I am game!

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
Correct my Reboot menu modifies several framework files other then the typical only android-policy.jar, so that could definately be the cause
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
Flashed back to RLS4 and for some reason titanium Backup can't restore everything! O_O

I think I am going back to stock =(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spike96:
Someone posted earlier that the GPS lock issue can be fixed for an extremely brief period of about 5 seconds by toggling on and off airplane mode. I'm sure if we play around with this we can find the root of the GPS issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alphanu22:
and i couldnt get it to stick :( oh well-
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ijeenyus:
We're all beating the dead horse with a stick. OP said he will recompile and see if it'll fix the GPS issues. Let's stop complaining about it, he already knows.

We should only post things about GPS if it's a fix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Yea that's wat it was. I forgot I flashed that blacked out and didny even think about that. Good thinking on that. Now im all good again no gps issues or that reboot bs

---------- Post added at 12:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

Good looking on that. And thats wat did it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jredecop:
That's what I did today. So sick of flashing and reinstalling everything and it not working. Just want to use my phone already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rainabba:
I'm having major WiFi issues. My 5GHz A.C. connection has extremely high latency and barely exceeds 5Mb when even my 2.4Ghz band band tests better than 12Mb consistently. Stock TW had me hitting 60Mb on my 5Ghz band (have a 150Mb connection and Asus 1.3Gb AC AP). My n10 also hits 60Mb regularly.

WiFi generally doesn't connect either unless I open WiFi settings and have sleep policy set to never.

Even when I get connection, it drops regularly

Ideas?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryukouki:
EDIT: Hmmm.... I'm stuck at Follow the Route on the GPS and it shows the general area of where I am (accurate) but does not fully lock onto the signal and won't give the step by step instructions. Clean wiped the ROM several times before install, and this is before restoring apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] golfinglenn:
I thought it was just me that happened to lol. My titanium backup didn't do squat, plus other issues I had. Thank god for nandroid backups. Just restored 4 and been a happy camper all day. Waiting patiently till 5 gets a clean download and try it again. No worries here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rainabba:
Also, I was having issues with AVRCP (BT a2dp media controls) so I took a glance at build.prop and found conflicting settings between #media and #system props for the MM modules relating to stagefright. Might want to reduce those and confirm the settings you wanted.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
Yeah haha it's been pissing me of. I screwed up the backup before rls5 as I ran out of space on my SD card so I said forget it and flashed rls5 anyway not thinking I would run into any problems. But was I wrong. I lost all my stuff haha. Oh well hopefully rls6 will be legit. Too legit to quit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lilmikey201:
I have no password man. Haven't since I got the phone. Enabled widgets also
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ijeenyus:
Here's step by step of how I added lockscreen widgets (only works with "swipe" lockscreen unlock option):

1. Under default clock widget in the top left corner, press and hold it and then drag your finger downwards to expand it

2. Swipe left with your finger

3. Press the plus sign and added widget

4. To erase default clock widget, swipe right. Drag and hold widget and slide it upwards towards trashcan icon

5. To see your dashclock widget in full (with all extensions), you'll need to click and hold the widget and drag down on lockscreen everytime

Okay so my build says RLS 2 so I know I am behind. Before I download the RLS4 build I have read there is a build 5? I tried to go to the hyperdrive ota but when it takes me to the play store to download it doesnt give me an option. Can some help. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
Sbreen does not allow rom updates over the ota option because he stated people would not read the forum. Which is true. You are going to have to flash rls5 by downloading it for warning though most people are having issues with the gps on rls5. I suggest flashing rls4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Just click the link in the op it will take u to the right place
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ijeenyus:
You'll have to search for RLS4 (that's the most stable right now) on the web. Current release is RSL5 (GPS hit and miss) you can find link in the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sep33:
Thanks everyone. The op has the rls4 so I am downloading now. Also thank you for the heads up on the ota. It is jice to know that people are willing to help others in this forum. I have been in other ones where people just dont like to help. Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
No problem that's why we are here! Happy flashing!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
Yeah, GPS doesnt lock on for me. Having a bit of trouble enabling pie. Even though I was able to enable it on my friend's GS3 a while back...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
Yeah i was having the same problem. I'm not sure how to get pie to work. I'm fairly certain this particular problem is user error though lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alphanu22:
when you are in the PIE Controls hit the start/stop and auto start to enabled in the settings tab. also drag down to activation area thickness and set it to 40. i find it better to activate.

now go to the PIE tab, and if you look at my pic^ Pie One is "Recent Apps" then it goes to the left-
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryukouki:
Theoretically, for a GPS fix, would it mean rewiping and reinstalling everything again? Or is this simple enough so an update can go OTA?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rlivin:
my gps was working but is not anymore. whats wierd it will find sats after i turn airplane mode off and back on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryukouki:
This is really weird, but can someone confirm or deny my thoughts? I'm using the RLS5 release, and for whatever reason, the ROM actually feels slower than the previous release. The reason I say that is because there's a game I tend to play, and there's an app I use alongside it. The app basically takes screenshots and then creates a pattern that I need to quickly mimick. With the release of RLS4 it took maybe 400-600 milliseconds to come up with the good arrangement. Under RLS5, the program took 800-1000 milliseconds, which is strange because the settings are exactly the same! I did not touch anything.

Also, I am experiencing some lag when swiping across my home screens. I did the usual fixes that I do after I install any ROM, such as fixing permissions, and whatnot. I'm getting some delay in the swiping gestures (no, I'm not an incompetent swiper by the way... :p) but it's just really strange that this version seems a bit clunkier than the last one.

And of course, the infamous GPS issue. Downloaded from RomHut, no dice. Spent 30 minutes satellite searching and got not a single thing. :( I also applied the GPS fixes within Hyperdrive OTA.

On a slightly positive note, I love the fact that you finally made an easier way to disable the CRT animation, and the new boot animation is quite nice! :) And finally, thank you for changing the aesthetics of the Hyperdrive OTA. I for one hated the old icon. :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
Judging from everyone's comments, I should just wait till RLS5 gets updated right? Will the OP update the post when the GPS lock gets fixed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] artjrv:
I can not download the verizon or samsung apps In the hyperdrive control section. Tells me something about error downloading file. I just want the verizon visual voicemail app back.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ryanw5489:
Okay I'm kinda having alittle issue with my wife. Now I got full service but when it comes to uploads it's slow. And like I said in have full service but my up and down bars under the signal are blank they have no color like usual. And when I got to a sit it will not upload pics.. What can I do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sean Hicks:
For every one with gps issues, try launching google now and swipe the new cards away until you are to the bottom card that prompts you to give Google apps location access.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
I can get GPS lock at home w/o wifi or mobile data on: 16/20 satellites. Left for my commute this morning and lost lock about 5 minutes into the trip. No lock for the remainder of the commute (25 minutes).

I know Scott will recompile and re-upload, but wanted to post this in case it gave some sort of clue as to what's going on with the GPS issue. Doing whatever I can to help.

EDIT: My initial download was from Romhut.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dino325:
Hey Alpha, What widget is that your using? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] badenglishihave:
Tell your *wife* she needs to pull her weight around the house.

But seriously, try deleting and re-adding your wireless network, or restarting your router.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jzarfos:
Just wanted to stop bye and thank Scott for a great ROM. Ive had countless custom ROM'S on multiple devices and this is as good as any of them. I expect bugs and certainly can accept a gps bug because fortunately for me, I can remember how to get to work and home everyday. Thanks for your hard work and have a great Monday.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xrabbitfootx:
i'm not saying that it will for anybody else but this fixed my reboot and gps lock, as well.

as for TiBU, 2 things always mess it up for me. so i do the following:

- preferences > auto-sync tb settings > uncheck

- never search. if i search for an app, my list will not re-populate and TiBU goes to wonkytown. i then have to un/re-install the app.

-rf
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
Glad this worked for you! But I know that I did not modify any framework files and have the GPS issue. So perhaps this tidbit might point to it being a framework issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GiantsFan91:
what widget is that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dontcallmejames:
mine were fine in RLS4, not so much now. live wallpapers are crashing for me again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asdecker:
Are you having gps issues too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dontcallmejames:
i'm trying to figure that out now. it seems like my apps/widgets are all updating properly now that i'm at work (1 hour away from home), but it seemed like it took a while. i'm also using network/gps to find my location instead of just gps, so i'm trying to test it now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skrowl:
Flashed RLS5, my GPS is broken too

Everything besides GPS seems to be fixed. Hopefully this is something easy that can go in OTA, because I really like the look & features of RLS5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asdecker:
Ive had zero gps problems. Rom is flawless for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
Download GPS Status from Play and use that. Make sure Wifi and Mobile Data is off - that will tell you if you have the GPS issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dontcallmejames:
definitely having gps issues. used the GPS status app and it can't locate a GPS location. google maps finds me with no problem and it seems very accurate, even though it says accurate to within 80m.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JediMindTrixx:
I have had no issues. Very fast and smooth. GPS locks right on. I am not using Waze, I just download Google Maps and Street View from the Play store and started using it. Used it a couple of different times yesterday trying to get it not to lock to try and give some feedback to Scott to see what he can do about fixing the issue. It totally sucks so many of you are having problems with the GPS. I don't know if it'll do anything, but try flashing the stock radios.

Another suggestion and yes it is long a boring, but Odin back to stock, re-root, and flash rls5. Good Luck!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Sorry to say it, Scott, but add me to the list. I started driving to work this morning, and a mile down the road, Waze froze, and my CarHome Ultra speedometer stuck at 36. Still love the ROM, and I'm sure you'll get us straightened out. :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
Hey Jedi.......does GPS Status app get a lock too, with WIFI and Mobile Data off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rdefino:
HI asdecker,

Could you tell me if waze works for you? As in seeing the streets and roads on the map?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JediMindTrixx:
Just tested it to make sure and it does. I have both Wifi and data off. Walked outside to make sure my office building wasn't interfering and it locked in about 15 seconds.

I wish I had the answer to all of you with GPS issues, but I don't...

I'm curious to know, people with GPS issues... Have you tried GPS on stock or a different rom? Does it lock in? I ask because this is my second S4. The first one's GPS was flakey with some of the issues reported and I was on stock no root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] travishamockery:
Has anyone else had their persistent wifi notification returned with this build as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
I have used GPS on stock, stock rooted and all releases of Hyperdrive with no issues. Except RLS5 :confused:

EDIT: I use Waze to try and avoid the po-po on my way to and from work - so GPS is multi-daily use for me :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alphanu22:
my own made Zooper Widget :good: (talking about the whats in the background on my home screen rite?) on the bottom is PIE

GPS works fine in RLS4 even after flashing RLS5 then wipe back to RLS4 GPS works again-

enough with this GPS Talk, lets just wait for Scott to release a new compiled RLS5-
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JediMindTrixx:
I hear ya!!! No-no to the po-po. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wing_cutter:
I restored my backup of rsl4 and gps works again locks in 5 seconds. I tried 5 times yesterday all clean installs of rls5 with no luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alphanu22:
you beta testing with Scott?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JediMindTrixx:
We can all say some people are having GPS issues and some aren't. Instead of complaining and leaving negative comments just sit tight... Scott is aware of the issue and I'm sure he's working hard on a fix, being the perfectionist he is. :)

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

Yup... The issue with the GPS is both of ours is working. He's getting feedback from other sources too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cubs2008:
I'm happy to wait for the recompiled ROM (and I did just use GPS to get from South Carolina back up to PA last week so I know my GPS is solid.) Not concerned about it too much since I know Scott will fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asdecker:
Waze locked right on...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EVOme:
Hmmm, you may be onto something here...I flashed back to Beans rom due to the issues I was having with R5 and now I cannot get a lock on that backup. I KNOW it worked because I used it to drive the other day. Now that my phone is six ways phucked up, I might as well restore back to stock and start fresh....dunno who to blame for this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
Mine works wonderful on stock and on RLS3.1 and RLS4

What's Scott's address lol I'll send him my phone. Haha. Do you want me to do a system dump so he can look through it? It would probably help if he had some logs to look through.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SolemnSinner:
Yep. I've been just sitting back and watching the fireworks in this thread. :laugh: Patiently waiting. I don't use my GPS as far as Maps is concerned all that much. I use it more for my Ulysses Speedometer app for when calibrating my speedohealer on my sport bike when changing the gearing. I did try flashing a different mirror out of boredom but it did not help. No big deal. I know for others it is very important, and I understand their frustration. I agree, getting all upset and flaming doesn't help. Just sit tight...and let the man breathe so he can work on a fix without being bruted with negativity. It's bad for the forum, and puts a bad taste in the developers mouth. I appreciate all he's done and all he's trying to do. Enough of my essay. Good day sir.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MHotovec:
Yourself.

Using these mods is totally up to you.

All of them come with warnings.

If you're not willing to deal with some fallout, then go back to the stock ROM and get all of your apps from the Play Store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnten:
i cant seem to get any of the nottach settings to stick is there a trick to it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SolemnSinner:
Nail, meet hammer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EVOme:
Get outta here with your company line....I mean blame as far as what caused it. I know what I got myself in to. Scott's ROM isn't the only one to use on here, reason I'm not all butthurt that the GPS isn't working...I'll find a ROM where it does. Unlike you, I look for root cause.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gfro9191:
Ok, so I'm not sure if I just got a good download or if I did something that could help everyone.

I don't know if anyone else here is from the Thunderbolt at some point, but if you are, this might bring back some memories.

I only flashed this ROM once and I got the GPS to lock. That being said, I can't say the method I used is the reason my GPS is working. It might be that I'm one of the lucky ones that got a good download.

All I did was got a lock with GPS Status on my previous ROM. Right from there, I went to the reboot menu, went right into recovery without turning off GPS or anything else and switched to RLS5.

Has anyone who has GPS issues tried this? It worked all the time on the Thunderbolt and it might be the case for the S4.

Waze, Google Maps, and GPS staus lock perfectly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MHotovec:
Had you said something like "I sure would like to know what causes this' I wouldn't have had to toss the company like at you. But you said you don't know WHO to blame, not WHAT - there is a world of difference in those two words.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SolemnSinner:
I think you put "who" not "what" is to blame in your post. That probably caused the confusion.

---------- Post added at 08:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------

You mean dirty flash RLS5 over RLS4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gfro9191:
No, I still wiped like usual. Dalvik, Cache, Data, and System.

Basically, get a lock, and go straight to recovery and do your usual.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EVOme:
I agree...I would like to know what to blame for this not working. It was working before I flashed R5 and now it's not working on any ROM. Sucks, but I'll restore to stock and start all over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SolemnSinner:
Heck, I'm bored. I'll give it a try. Can't hurt!

---------- Post added at 08:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------

Ok, so you're saying that if I go back to RLS4, I will probably have the same GPS lock issue I'm having with RLS5 even though the issue wasn't present when initially flashing RLS4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EVOme:
That's what I am getting. I was running Bean's latest before I flashed R5. My GPS was working. I went to R5, my Navigation app kept saying "Searching for GPS". I did all the suggested tricks in this thread, even new downloads from mirrors. I decided to restore my Beans ROM and now it is "Searching for GPS".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpmcnown:
Oh ****. I clean flashed Sacs V3, and Synergy R104. Both NOW have no GPS lock. I'm going back to my RLS4 nandroid to check to see if GPS is still working on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Restored a backup of another ROM and was able to lock on with GPS Status pretty quick. Not as fast as usual but I'm in a hospital so I'll attribute it that. (fingers crossed)
