[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dukeoflove:
Does anyone experience this problem? I just found out that my gs4 gps is terrible that it couldn't lock in my current location, thus, preventing me from using google map to navigate. My gs4 is complete stock and unrooted. Anyone who experienced the same problem, please share your fix if you have any. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
My GPS worked great... for a few months. Then one day I tried to do some navigating and realized it wasn't working anymore. I wiped my data, flashed different ROMs, reverted back to stock, tried multiple GPS fixes, etc, etc. I spoke to a Samsung rep (because I don't have T-Mobile service or I would have gone through them) and told them the things I did; aside from the warranty-voiding stuff, that is. They concluded that it was more than likely a hardware fault and to send it in for repair/replacement. Barring any water damage, the fix would be covered by the warranty. I haven't had a chance to send it in yet, but there's that option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dukeoflove:
Thanks for sharing your experience, my gps worked great before too, but only yesterday it stopped working no matter what I tried. Guess I'll have to call tmobile regarding this problem then
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr_Jay_jay:
GPS fix

Try this before I have done this a few times and it works great!

go to the samsung service mode *#197328640#

then go to mainmenu>UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD>NV REBUILD>finish and dont exit menu

wait 30 sec

long press power button and select restart..

thats all

now check your GPS from gps software.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I might be doing this wrong, but using that particular code doesn't allow me to enter the Main Menu or UMTS options. I can use the code to enter service mode in the Sim-unlock thread, but even once I can get into UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD, there isn't an option for NV REBUILD. Only load default, erase EFS, backup, and restore... I played around in there when I was sim-unlocking my phone when I first got it and was appalled when I found out what exactly the EFS was... I'm basically lucky I didn't screw it up; so you can see my current unease of just selecting some random option from that menu. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dukeoflove:
I'm not sure if this method only works for gs3, because I can't seem to locate the main menu and umts options from dialing the code provided.

Every time i Try to mount my internal memory it says "unable to mount internal memory, unable to mount /sd, etc.. and i don't know what to do

I really want this phone working and I have just bought it the other day.. it also ask me to install every time i reboot to install SuperSU because my device isn't rooted then it says fail to copy su binary from /sys, when I only know that it's unlocked

[HTC One S] RockR172:
I assume your SD Card is wiped, containing no ROM, nothing.

-Flash the TWRP 2.6.1.0 recovery that comes with MaximusHD ROM Install Package through bootloader.

It is the one that is compatible with hboot 2.16.

-Use adb sideload to flash the CM11 ROM from Development section.

-Boot to OS, connect phone to PC and transfer Maximus HD ROM to SD Card.

-Go in recovery, flash Maximus, Reboot.
[HTC One S] xdanoob563:
how do i flash the recovery?

You need to connect phone to PC from ROM not recovery..

It will be connected in MTP mode..

You need proper drivers on PC for your phone to get detected..

I just odin stock unrooted to sell my s4, everything passed well I have data, mms, everything works but my my wifi I click on it and it just shuts off... please help.. any info is appreciated... thanks.

Everything checks on my part, use the right file for my phone and all so I'm left with the following

Now the fore mention member came up with this solution or idea, that the lookout security app it's blocking the wi-fi he did mention that is a "semi-common issue and that there must be a tutorial in how to fix it somewhere in the T-mo Thread or maybe in this thread.

so after a few days of searching I decided to post and ask for help.

So please if someone has any info on this kind of issue or have the link for a fix I ask to please share it

Are there any other models with similar characteristics on which unlocking has been succesful so I can experiment with those techniques?

Actually TWRP can flash OTA packages, I haven't tried it myself but many people have confirmed it will work. I'm not sure if OTA will work with TWRP though, (not the manual flashing of the package, but the OTA update itself as in Android automatically downloading it, booting into TWRP and updating automatically), still think it needs stock recovery for that.

[PAC Q&A] Devildoc99:
I'm using a Galaxy S4 from USC (SCH-R970).

4.3.1

Loaded PAC-MAN nightly build dated 11/16/13

All seems to work very well and I'm quite happy with the ROM. There is one glitch I'm having which I can only assume is from the ROM. Whenever I leave my wifi connection and the phone needs to switch to data, it doesn't. It takes a reboot and then all is well. This is what happens when I leave home to go to work. I don't have a wifi connection at work. Going back home doesn't cause any problems. It happily picks up the wifi again.

Other forums have had some suggestions such as toggling wifi on/off (as in airplane mode) etc., none of which seems to work for me. I need to do a reboot to get back to enabling data connection.

Has anyone else noted this? Is this a known issue? Are there any suggestions?

Thx

If you are on the stock rom and just rooted or non-rooted, maybe that's the reason of it because for me (just my opinion and observation), Verizon allows only mobile data to them, but if you just want to call and text, it will just notify you that you have unknown sim card but you can do call and text.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] killabee44:
Guys,

Has anyone here cracked open a Qi wireless charger and modded it into their existing car cradle?

I got one for that purpose and it's a little too big (a little bigger than my Nexus 5), so I cracked it open. Now I'm looking for ideas on what I can use to encase it.

These things have a ton of wasted space inside, so I know I can make it smaller somehow. Please chime in with any ideas you might have. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] automaddux:
What brand is that? Might end up buying one and modding one for myself as well.

Also what are the exact dimensions? it looks to be about 5''1/2 X 3''
[Nexus 5 Accessories] killabee44:
The dimensions of the whole thing inside the black case are: 5 3/4 X 3 1/4 inches.

The board is 1 1/2 (plus 1/4 for the usb port) X 2 1/2 inches. The round part is 2 1/4 X 2 1/4 inches.

Together they are about 3 3/4 (again, plus 1/4 inch for the usb port) X2 1/2 inches. This is if the board and the round part are laying inline.

We need to consider that the round part can be folded around the other side of the board. Then the dimensions are even smaller than what you would get if you purchased one of the round "puck" ones. Folded, the dimensions are now: 2 1/4 X 2 1/2 inches.

I purchased mine on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Color-Qi-...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item2c76d04857

It cost about $17.00 shipped from New Jersey.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] LudoGris:
Subscribing to this hoping for some interesting ideas from all the modders on this site. Would love to see a way to hook it up with a magnet in a puck shape that I could just sit it the car, place it on the charger with enough of an angle that I can see it while driving, and go.

This is how I had my old wireless charger for the Palm pre. Was nice because it was just strong enough to hold the phone at about a 45 degree angle (upside down) making it very easy to see. That is the thing I miss the most about the pre.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] stremax:
have you in your car those "typical american" cup holder between the front seats, nearby the gear shaft?

why don't try to remove and put the charger there?

I have enough space in my 2007 BMW 3 series just there, that's a cool idea

using fiberglass or some other filling materials to smooth the charger plate in the empty space
[Nexus 5 Accessories] LudoGris:
That would be a good idea but it makes it tougher to see when using GPS. I would have to look down away from the road as opposed to being on my dash with a quicker glance.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jacob_woolf:
I was thinking of trying this same thing. I have this cheap mount from Walmart which I'm going to attempt to modify. I also have an extra one lying around in case I mess it up. I was looking at the charger in this thread, it looks like the board may be a bit smaller.

My plan is to just kind of dremel/drill/sand out a hole in the plastic of the mount, pop the charging coil in, and then cover it back up somehow. I'll let you guys know how it goes!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] killabee44:
Ok, so I uncoiled the wires a little bit and folded the coil over the circuit board. you can see how small it makes the whole thing. This may be the way to go for me. That would make it smaller than my phone so it can fit under it in the car mount.

Im considering magnets, but if I make it this small there will be no room for them. Plus because it will be inside the car mount, I don't think Ill need them. We'll see..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] creator2456:
Here is my 'beta' version I did the other afternoon since I happened to have the parts just laying around...

Using this charger (pretty sure same as OP) with the iOttie XL and these magnets.

Going to make an improved version that is more compact now that I know what I'm dealing with. Will definitely document the build of Ver. 1.0.

Changing up the charger and magnets, but keeping the iOttie XL. Using PlastiDip and Sugru for final appearance.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] unvaluablespace:
You guys stole my idea! lol. I posted a thread similar to this about a week ago. Didn't get very far though haha.

found a few items on ebay similar to this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qi-5V-Wirel...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item1e8334dd2b

I wonder if you were to solder off the qi coil and resolder one of these instead, if it would work? Reason being, because they are so slim, and I assume at 1mm thick, and being able to place in a phone cover with no noticeable difference, if it would help make it even thinner? im thinking at 1mm, perhaps it would be flexible as well?,
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bradputt:
don't think it will work.

transmitter coils are thicker., receiver coils are thinner.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Rijal:
Buy the official nexus charger if you can. The magnets hold the phone in place just fine, been using it the past few days. The ideal solution in my opinion.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Powerpuffman:
So to clarify, you are using the official Nexus charger as a car dock, and the magnets are strong enough for the phone not to fall off? Are you using a case?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 6yPyHDyK:
Subscribed.

I have ordered an iBOLT xProDock (BB Z10) from Amazon.ca for 19.95, and a QI puck from ebay.

Not sure if there's enough space inside the xProDock body to accomodate the coil - we'll see.

amazon.ca/IBOLT-xProDock-Holder-Mount-Blackberry/dp/B00BPAHNQI
[Nexus 5 Accessories] killabee44:
I might actually take the whole charging coil out of the case, but will need something to encase it with. Maybe some shrink tubing type of stuff, etc. Not sure what.

That way I can cut the case down to less than half and keep the circuit board in it. Then have the coil hanging out of the case but covered in something. Any ideas as to what I can use?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kilter1975:
I was thinking of using a black plastic divider like you get with some binders, two pieces cut to size of coil/circuit board and using electrical tape to seal the two together.

I'll have to wait for my cheap qi puck to arrive as I've only got the N4 Orb/Dock at the moment

[Nexus 5 Accessories] GuestK00128:
If you buy an official Nexus wireless charger ( https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_wireless_charger&hl=en ), just figure out how to mount that in your car. That's what I'm going to do in my Jeep. The magnets in the charger are plenty strong enough to hold the phone over bumps.

Edit: You could probably just cut the ball in half at the end of a suction cup mount (the pivot point for where the suction cup arm connects to the phone cradle) and gorilla glue the charger to the now flat half ball.

In my Jeep I'm going for a more permanent solution of gluing the charger to a phone cradle mount/bracket that bolts into the jeep. It's too easy to reach into my Jeep and grab a windshield mount.
