[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kt-Froggy:
The video posted by Keithross39 should definitely help. I can't watch it now, as YT somehow is acting up on me at work, but judging from the quick frame preview, it's quite thorough.

Regarding a heat gun, it depends on the condition of your phone. If it is as you described (about to get unglued completely), I would think you probably don't even need a heat gun. :) But heating up the sticky tape helps, and if you decide to do it, I would suggest going with a hairdryer instead of a heat gun (unless you have a nice one with a good temp control) -- much less chance to cook up your screen by overheating.

Hi

Im using stock JB 4.1.2. Installed with full wipe (system, cache, dalvik etc.)

Recently discovered weird issue:

After plugging in original headphones gps doesnt work anymore.

Is this normal behaviour ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Cuniek:
Anyone ?

Can someone check this for me please?

It will take 5 seconds ...

Im using different rom and kernel now, and still cant use GPS while headphones are plugged.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] reas0n:
Maybe try to get GPS fix at first and the plug the headphones. I'm using Endomondo on kholk's CM + iodak's kernel and everything works
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Cuniek:
I tried both ways. Without headphones gps gets fix fast (few seconds)

Then about 2 - 10 second after i plug in headphones fix is lost.

When i unplug headphones again - 2 second for gps fix.

It seems like hardware failure then ..

Thanks for your test.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Cuniek:
I did some tests with GPS Test application:

Here is picture without headphones:

Picture just after the headphones are plugged:

It is very strange, seems like GPS antenna isnt working correctly after plugging in headphones.

Can someone else test this please ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
i forgot to test if i have this issue today, i'll try to test it tomorrow.

FM radio antenna vs. GPS

+1

A friend of mine with a new bought p880 on stock ICS doesn't have this problem, too.

it isn't necessarily a hardware failure. usually the earphones work as external FM-radio-antennas. it might just be a bug that the software turns off GPS-antennas instead of integrated FM-radio-antennas when earphones are connected.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laogiacodai:
I actually perform a factory reset and result is the same :rolleyes:

I had no GPS at all with CM10.x and was pretty frustrated, but the latest nightly (July 12) seems to have fixed it.

HW problem

Still looks like HW prob.

I'm using P880 with CM11 nightlies and can confirm that GPS is unusable when something is connected to headphone jack. Otherwise the GPS works quite well.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Hid3away:
If it's not working on stock or CM10.1.3 (the stable one by CM)

then i think you could class it has HW fully..

I never use GPS (always use custom location)

Use different headphones maybe?

Please help!

I have ATT SGH - i337.

While I was on original ATT ROM I rooted the phone and with GooManager got TWRP running after I flashed it with this ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2283194).

My phone was NOT auti-lokied, just rooted with motochopper method.

Now I got this error message:

"System software not authorized by ATT has been found on your phone" on the bottom and on the top with little red letters I got:

SECURE FAIL: KERNEL.

The most I can do with my phone now is go to ODIN mode (both odins 1.83 and 3.07 detects it)

As per my understanding I was trying to flash my non lokied phone with non ATT kernel inside that ROM. I tried to use Kies, but my phone is not being detected by it.

Please help!!!

Just so you understand, your phone can't be auto lokied. You can install a recovery that will auto loki the roms/kernels that you flash. Or flash roms /kernels that have been lokied but the developer.

Slap my self in the head! Doh! (wrong CWM Version)

All was good in Droid land:

AT&T S4

Cleanrom 1.0

CWM installed

Rom Manager installed.

Time to upgrade to cleanrom 1.5 (BTW: Most Excellent ROMs).

NANDROID Backup to External Card (Never trust the gremlins to let you get away without this)

Followed instructions...

"System Software not auth..." WTF!!! :crying:

Tried to going into recovery.

Finally, after many three fingered salutes :D

I get into Recovery... Well kind of

A screen I have never seen or heard mentioned:

"Firmware update problem encountered" :confused:

A pic of a phone connected to a computer with the instruction:

"use kies recovery mode"

Took a leap and used the the "Lokified_3Way_tool".

choice 5 (return to stock)

reboot yada yada yada

choice 2 (Reroot) Yeah!

choice 3 (install CWM)

boot into recovery and

restore from external card.

Sigh of Relief... :victory:

So what went wrong? Why did the kernel not get autoloki'd by cwm?

My suspicion is that Rom Manager updated CWM (at my request) to version 6.something or other and hence autoLoki was gone gone gone...

My fault? Yeap.

Do I deserve a dope slap? Yeap.

Did I recover? Yeap (pat on the back)...

In the end: Thanks to all you guys that have the energy to work all this stuff out!!! I no longer have the energy... been computing for far too long... (since the 1970's).

Any thought? Does my suspicion make sense?

Thanks.

That is just the COM port number its connected too.) Click PDA or in Odin 3.09 you would click Ap and browse to the All in One .tar you downloaded and select it ...Click the start button and don't disconnect it until its done and the phone has booted...You will be good to go...This all in one has multiple files in it so you don't have to do multiple flashes

Hey Jonas. This is a very very vague question. We poor people have got like two kernels in all. And battery life depends on a lot of things not kernel. It also depends on how you use the phone :)
