[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SIGMAxB:
Had the same issue and tried all the previous suggestions .I didn't even have the indicator in the status bar. What worked for me was this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2 let me know if it helps

From the D's GN2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] testrider:
Thanks. I already tried it before I posted and it did not help at all. Mine did not show the gps indicator on the status bar either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] testrider:
What did you do with the app to make yours worked?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SIGMAxB:
I turned the GPs on while the app was open and saw the Gps indicator light up then I immediately opened maps and let it lock on my location I guess in my case it just kicked the gps in the pants I haven't had any problems since.

From the D's GN2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] testrider:
Did the gps test app show the number of satellites it locked on? Google map may not be a good indication because it uses wifi/data to locate you if it couldn't find satellite. Try something like 'GPS Test' to verify the number of satellite it locked on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] testrider:
- just to make sure nothing else conflicts, I did a factory reset. It's running stock JB 4.1.2. Unrooted. Stock recovery.

- when I turned on GPS in setting and started google map, the GPS icon on the status bar did not even display

and of course google map could not get a fix on my location. This is outdoor. To be sure that my test location was good, I put my wife's Galaxy S2 next to it and turn on both. The S2 acquired position under 30 seconds with 14 satellites.

- i d/l GPS Test and it did not show any satellite

- I d/l GPS Status Toolbox and it did not fix it

- I d/l "TopNTP" to clear/download AGPS data and it did not fix it.

- I then sent it back to Samsung. The repair log said:

"problem found: cannot download sw/PRL. Solution: updated s/w. Reset. Quality Control passed. "

(when I saw 'cannot download sw/PRL', I googled it and I already suspected that it wouldn't be fixed. As most people

I found on google when they sent a phone back to Samsung all have this line "cannot download sw/PRL')

I got it back after 7 days and it was exactly as before I sent it out. Same firmware version, same OS version, same everything. True enough, same problem. How competent can they be? I stated that the problem is "GPS could not acquire satellite". How hard was it to test it? Just turn it on, turn on GPS in settings, run google map. Their quality control couldn't even do that and signed it off.

I called them again and I'm sending it back again. This is getting frustrated.

I still have the gut feeling that this is not a hardware problem, but what else I can try? I tried everything.

What are my options if they still can't fix it 2nd time? It's still under warranty (for another month).

Thanks.

I used this method to fix my GPS not locking. Take a look. It solved my problem but may not be for everyone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] testrider:
Thanks! I will sure give it a try if it still does work when I get it back. It's now at Samsung repair center again.

I appreciate your reply.

Problem solved!!!!!!

I have a Note 2. The GPS did not work. No white circle on the status bar when GPS is turned on and it did not pick up any satellite. I tried everything including factory reset, restore OEM ROM from sammobile and nothing worked. I sent it back to samsung. The 1st time they updated some sw and sent it back to me. Nothing changed. Not working. I sent it back the 2nd time. they replaced some power management chips. I got it this morning and it did not work either. I called Samsung again and they remotely accessed my Note 2 and they couldn't figure out so they asked me to send it back the 3rd time. Before I sent it back, I followed a reply here on xda using the diagnostic code *#197328640# :

mainmenu>UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD>Restore NV Default

I selected it, it restored the NV from default and it rebooted by itself. When it came back, everything worked!!!!!

Before I tried this, I was l already on the phone with Samsung tech support for 2 hours and they even remotely access my Note 2 and they could not figure it out!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] testrider:
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! The post you referred to fixed it!!!!!!!!!!!! I owe you big time.

If you are around Los Angeles, PM me and I buy you a beer :)

It worked perfectly. The menu was slightly different but it worked!

I was so frustrated with Samsung repair center. They just kept sending it back to me not working.

They asked me to send it to them a 3rd time. I'm sure they won't be able to fix it even if I do.

I am so glad that it's fixed with your help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AE74:
I'm glad it worked for you too.

Have you tried to test the NV? Tat fixed for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ilovemeow:
wow, that's quick reply,

thanks man,

did you do that with stock orom or custom?

coz i did that and status "not support in custom binary"

still got 1hour to go for the stock rom from sammobile

finish flashing, but still

odin mode status official rom and all stock

but under setting-> device status : modifiy

and NV REBUILD: not support for custom binary...

no luck with NV rebuild

but just just found a alternative method to make that work,

only work if you do the IMEI/NV data backup before

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AE74:
4.3 or 4.4.2 ROM? Have you checked to see if any other codes work? Do you have service mode app? While I was using different 4.3 ROMS, certain ROMs did not have service mode app and I couldn't use any of the codes. I am using DN3 v4 BETA2 now and tried the same codes and failed. Sorry I couldn't be more of help.

Same issue - Help!

Hi ilovemeow,

I believe I am having the exact same problem as you. I have gone all the way back down to stock 4.1.2 but still no luck with NV Rebuild. It keeps saying "not support for custom binary"

I made the IMEI/NV Backup on my computer as prescribed in the link you posted. Where do I go from there? Your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ilovemeow:
when did you backup the imei/nv? i mean before the GPS not working
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sidxda:
Ah I don't think I have a backup (made one a long time ago but laptop hdd stopped working). I made one after it stopped working but I'm guessing it's useless.

Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks

A fellow XDAer might be kind enough to back up his NV Data using the QPST method and send it to me. How do I make sure that only NV Data is restored and that the IMEI is not overwritten.

Thank you!

actually i just did a full NV restore by QPST to my other note2, no specific setting need to be set

good luck mate :D (backup your current NV before restore)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] DiogoCV:
Hi, I had a gps problem with my Note 2 lte, spent hours searching how to solve my gps problem. My gps would locate me but wouldn't lock with any satellite, gps signal was always blinking.

I've opened the phone, no screws problem, all seemed okay inside my phone. Tried service mode codes in stock dialer, nv rebuild restore, wouldn't let me do that as well.

Yesterday before going bed I remembered one thing that guys like me forget to flash between Roms, the modems available through xda posts.

So I've flashed my phones modem, and worked like a charm, so, no apps, screws, codes, a simple flash.

In this link you'll find a collection of flashable modems for N7105 ONLY:

This worked for me, that doesn't mean that will work with you guys.

You should always read carefully before flashing anything on your device.

I just got my qtek 9100 and it came installed with pocket msn. Is there anyway I can remove this as I dont have a hotmail account and dont want the hotmail inbox. .... or is there another way of removing just the inbox.

I much prefer agile for msn anyway so dont realy need pocket msn anyway.

Any help would be appreciated.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ccsnet:
Its in the Windows folder and some thing like msnmsgr.exe - can't tell you for sure as I dont have it with me.

Just to finish off I placed a copy in the start menu and removed from the today screen the pocket MSN thing.

Terran
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] shah:
Thanks for the repsonses.

I did a hard reset and didnt start the pocket msn software, so it didnt create a hotmail inbox. I've removed it from the program icons.

The messenger software is called instmsgr.exe but if you use that it still creates the hotmail inbox.

Cheers
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DeanJ:
i too would like to know how to use msn without it making the hotmail inbox. also i'd like to get rid of the outlook email one but i could live with that staying but 2 inboxes i dont use starts to get anoying

I just use agile messenger which is free and does the same job. In fact it goes one better by including AOL, ICQ and yahoo messenger.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gazzrenn:
I simply made a shortcut in SPB Pocket Plus to a file called..... instmsrg.exe which is in the Windows folder.

To get rid of the mailbox, i guess you could hard reset, create the shortcut to instmsgr.exe then never open the Pocket MSN so the mailbox never gets made. As suggested above.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DeanJ:
as shah said it still creates the hotmail account as soon as you sign in using the msn software. oh well guess i'll just have to use a 3rd party app for instant messaging

dean
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DeanJ:
right figured out how to remove it. go into settings / memory and stop msn and messaging. (this'll stop you having to reset)

load up a reg editor, I used resco explorer. goto HKLM/software/microsoft/inbox/svc then rename the "hotmail" key to "-hotmail" exit resco and press the power button to standby your device and save the reg changes. now if you go into messages the hotmail will be gone.

i've only just figured this out so not sure if there are any minor side effects, let me know if you notice any.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] shah:
Thanks

That seems to do the trick.

Need just to decide whether to use agile or instmsgr ... The latter integrates better with the os but I think I read somewhere that it uses more data so higher gprs costs ???
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] soopahfly:
I just tried this on the new rom, and it denied me access to the whole messaging package.

Not to be contrary, but pMSNServer.exe should only be using 56kb of resident memory. I haven't seen it run since I did the following from a few posts up (though I deleted the whole key rather than renaming it):

Hello

I would like to create a smartphone app.

At least for Android, but it would be great if it could be easily adapted for iPhone too.

The app will have many pictures (from 1000 to 10000) organized in different sections with a small description (text) associated with it and maybe some relations (links between them).

The user would be able to browse the pictures and search for an specific one.

More options will be added.

I've thought the best option would be to use a database, but that could be very limited in smartphones. I think simplest one is SQLite.

I need your advise.

How could I do it?.

I'll start with Phonegap and jquery.

What technology would you use?

Would it be better to leave all the pictures in a directory and create a index in the database linking to them?

or is it possible to "embed" that pictures within the database itself?

Any other option?

I thought the charge time would be long. This morning in class my battery dipped down to 12% as the class was wrapping up. I got back home around between (9:50 and 10am) and started charging my note 2014 while it was powered off. In ~2.5 hours I'm around 55-60%. Personally I don't think this is too bad at all.

What have your experiences been like so far?

Update. I just unplugged it and I'm at 91%. This thing charges much faster than I thought. What were the conditions in which reviewers said it was 7+ hours?

Update: I'm also interested in how long the charge tends to last for you.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] madsquabbles:
mine was ~2.25 hrs from 20% to 80% then ~1.5hrs for 80%100%. the fast charge cycle is pretty decent, it's that last 20% trickle that can feel like it's dragging on. bmw pro says 4:14 for a full 0-100% charge which seems to be in line with my results.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Brewbud:
I put mine on the charger at 5% before going to bed. When I got up 5 hours later it was fully charged. Not sure when it reached full charge but definitely less than 5 hours.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] atg284:
This occurs with mine as well. It's that 80-100% that takes a while but when I charge it anywhere before that it's pretty fast. Probably helps with the long term battery life. Which I'm fine with.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Itchiee:
I'm thinking that review got a bad battery. This happened with my first GN10.1 when it took forever to charge after using it the first weekend.

I swapped it out and the new one charged fairly quickly (considering). This new tablet seems to be just a little longer to charge but not 7 hours.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Diogenes5:
This has been about my experience too. I was really worried before because a lot of reviews said this tablet takes forever to charge to full. Glad to see that smart-charging mitigates this almost completely since an 80% charge easily gets me through a full day of moderate use.
