[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cterrell16:
I got a new note 3 a month ago. Finally Tested out the gps when I went on vacation. The gps could not always lock. It was loose GPS signal every 10 min also. It would tell me to u turn and get off the highway routinely because it thought I was on the wrong street or going backwards. Really frustrating when going long distance. Since it's stock is there a fix. I've tried a few apps. GPS fix, gps status, etc. any options out their that might actually work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlear3:
When using the gps apps are you getting locks? How many satellites are you seeing? have you tried clearing agps?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cterrell16:
I turned on the GPS status app. I can get a lock on two out if 19 after 2 min. Waited 5 and it didn't improve. The maps app locked good on my position however.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlear3:
Did you try to clear the agps data? May help
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cterrell16:
I cleared it and tested. Then downloaded and tested. Reset all setting and tested. Reset phone and tested. Still only to get 2 sats but not a full lock.

Any other suggestions.

I have the exact same symptoms. When setting up navigation of a trip it will take forever to lock on and after it does it is very slow to update position. Many of the updates to my position are in correct putting me just off the highway on a side street. Sometimes it will have me driving reverse to the direction of my arrow.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cterrell16:
I actually uninstalled my weather app and the issue was corrected to a degree. It's not perfect but it does help.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Crazy Seed:
Hey mates.

The thing is: In my phone all roms running under kernel naa-14 suffer from random shut downs or from loss of signal once in a while, it doesn't happen many times but when it happens it's not good "example: you don't wanna sleep with your alarm not waking you because your phone is turned off, right?" xD.

So i was wondering: do you guys know another kernel for the most recent gb roms instead of kernel naa-14?, or if there is a rom that doesn't suffer from this shut downs/lost signal on this naa-14 kernel?.

Ps: Don't say something like: reinstall rom, go back to 2.1 and then install rom again, etc... i already did all of that.

Thanks :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] madz13:
hey mate, I have some suggestion for you, firstly you can flash your mini with SEUS(Sony Ericsson Update Service) not with flashtool, so after you flashed with SEUS you will need to start over again for unlock BL and flashing custom ROMS or Kernels, :victory: :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Crazy Seed:
Mate...i think you didn't see my "Ps" xD, in my Ps i say: i already did the Go back to Stock 2.1 and reinstall everything after "kernel+rom" many many times, it doesn't work. The roms work great but one day or another it remembers to shut down or loose signal :S xD. I don't know if it is the kernel or the rom that causes this, any suggestion?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Pras_92:
Hey...you r senior than me...but according to me your problem seems to be kernel problem as every GB rom experiences random shutdowns in your case...maybe u can try redownloading the .ftf file of kernel and then flash it again....all d best mate:good:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Crazy Seed:
Yes it is more likely a kernel problem, and that's why i wanted to know if there is another kernel without this problems. I flashed this naa-kernel 14 on my computer and on my portable computer in different times, but the result is always the same because sooner or later the phone will shut down or loose signal out of nowhere. I thought about flashing a rom with stock kernel but the roms available for stock kernel all have some bugs :S.

Ps: do you think there is much difference between this phone and Sony Live With Walkman in terms of audio quality/loudness and camera?, i am tented to buy that phone and all my problems would be solved for good as i need a stable phone when i get a job xD.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] madz13:
oh sorry, but via flashtool or SEUS when you flashed your mini's? I had same problem and Flashng via SEUS and start over again from beginning..and yes I dont have any randoms reboot or problems with signal strengh..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Pras_92:
Did u try the rom MiniCM7pro v21 for stock kernel....?? it is much more stable for daily use...n cant say anything about any other kernel bcoz most of GB roms run on nAa14 kernel only...so i think u should try MiniCM7pro v 21 on stock kernel...:good:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Crazy Seed:
it was the first rom ever that i tried, i don't remember now if it was good or not, but is this rom really more stable to use than the most recent gb roms that run on naa-14 kernel?. And does it have all the fixes "battery, camera quality, etc" that were made till now?.

I made a new thread, asking how i can port recent gb roms to work on Stock kernel, maybe it's better this way if possible.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mbressman:
Ok, so here's one particular issue that I just haven't been able to solve. I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 (for Sprint) and I hate S-Voice. I want to be able to use Google Now, and with the Home2 app I can do so with the double-tap on the home button. However, I also keep my phone PIN locked (this way if someone steals it, they can't get to my data and I have time to remotely wipe the phone or locate it), and apparently while S-Voice can work whent the phone is PIN locked, I'm not sure if there is any way to get Google Now to work while it's PIN locked by double-tapping the home button.

Basically, the reason I want this is that I just got a Honda CR-V and the bluetooth implementation in the car is absolutely awful. The only way to make calls while driving is 20 pre-programmed speed dials, or else I have to fumble with my phone which is completely unsafe. Shame on Honda for such an absurdly limiting Bluetooth system that basically makes it much more likely one will fumble with their phone while driving. Anyway, I'd love to be able to just double tap the home button on my phone and get Google Now going (while PIN locked) and then just tell it to call someone or do something else.

Anyone know how I can accomplish this?? By the way, my Galaxy S3 isn't rooted, and I'd prefer not to root it since that would mean I'd have to reinstall everything and re-configure everything.

Thanks!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhill110:
Rooting your phone doesn't wipe your data or cause you to have to re-install apps or reconfigure. Have you taken the 4.3 OTA?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mbressman:
My mistake - I think I must have been thinking about custom ROMs. And my phone hasn't been offered the 4.3 OTA yet - I keep reading that there were roll-out issues with it so the timeframe was pushed back, although the last thing I heard was that they started rolling it out again. Will the 4.3 OTA help me with this issue at all?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mbressman:
So I updated to 4.3 via Kies - haven't had a chance to see if I can "fix" my issue in 4.3 yet, but will hopefully get a chance to today or tomorrow and will post back here. Also, someone mentioned trying an app called widgetlocker to control the lock screen, and I'm wondering if I can use this to help get what I want accomplished...we shall see!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vilpi:
Hello everyone, I have recently upgraded my HTC one to the latest version of android and sense,

Today while i was trying to change my wallpaper, after I go to gallery to choose the photo, after pressing Set as, it gives me options, but the weird thing is that it gave me exactly two options for Wallpaper where one of them is set a square wallpaper which looks like ICS android and the other one the normal size of screen for cropping the picture, has anyone has the same issue or know what the difference is?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haaarold:
Actually, via: settings > display > wallpaper (think those are the names in english) there are also two options called "wallpaper", both with different wallpapers in it.

The way you describe (set as in gallery) I found it is probably because we now have two gallery apps (the standard one and the Google+ one)... but I'm not totally sure about that...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vilpi:
ty dude, but i think it is not the case, because it is looking for the wallpaper in the same folder in the gallery, the only difference is in the crop resolution of the picture and I tried both and couldn't find any differences.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] thelawnet:
I have an XDA exec, and it seems like a bit of an outcast. It's supposedly a top-of-the-range VGA pda with fast CPU, but it's quite slow. I have tried a few games on it, and they didn't work (Everquest), stuttered (Myst) or were in the wrong orientation/resolution.

When can we expect it to actually be useful for something? Surely after six months there should be some software out for it?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notable:
I flashed a 4.4 stock rom on my 2012 32g N7, and unfortunately, didn't notice until too late that it was also overwriting my custom recovery with the stock. Also, in the flashing process I received an error while flashing GAPPS. When I first booted the tablet, everything was fine except for no GAPPS, but I figured it would be simple to just download an APK or two and load them - well, when I tried that with several play store APKs I got "cannot open file" error.

I have now resorted to ADB to "sideload" the apks (and a custom recovery) to the tablet. At first I had trouble with the drivers, but I have followed numerous tutorials and have a solid grasp of how ADB works now. (more on that later)

I also tried WUG's toolkit, but no matter what I tried (or how many drivers I un/installed) I could never get past the "no fastboot device" error.

I used a second version of the ADB from another XDA thread, and was finally able to get my PC at the command prompt to communicate with the N7, and recognize it with "ADB devices" - the result was "<serial> sideload". This is of course when I have the tablet in the stock recovery "adb sideload" mode.

I about yelled for joy, when after six hours of rebooting and tutorials, I was able to get "adb sideload update.zip" to load, but the joy was short lived - as it consistently hangs at "sending: 'sideload' 53%"

I have tried several different zips, of varying names. and even some APK's (which hang at 78%)

Any assistance which can be offered to get this N7 functional again would be greatly appreciated!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JCred:
If you're flashing the stock KitKat, you shouldn't need to flash a separate gapps package. Aside from making sure you have UAC control, make sure you update boot to 4.23, if you haven't already done so. Flashing 4.4 is easy, as long as you don't make the mistake of ever owning another An droid device and plugging it in to your pc...

Till now no Device Tree is created by me.

However in Github search by delos3geur. You will find three device tree of Galaxy Grand Quattro. Ankur and Shabbypenguin created both indivisually. Chirag forked from Shabbypenguins.

Before you developed CWM others use Shabbypenguins CWM.

I am somewhat astonished as Android.mk; AndroidBoard.mk;AndroidProducts.mk;device_xxxxx.mk and BoardConfig.mk files are not used by you to develop your CWM.Actually according to my concept the Device tree will look like:

arm/

+-- armboard_v7a

| +-- Android.mk

| +-- armboard_v7a.kl

| +-- BoardConfig.mk

| \-- system.prop

+-- armboard_v7a_noneon

| +-- Android.mk

| +-- armboard_v7a_noneon.kl

| +-- BoardConfig.mk

| \-- system.prop

+-- another_product

| +-- Android.mk

| +-- another_product.kl

| +-- BoardConfig.mk

| \-- system.prop

\-- products

+-- AndroidProducts.mk

+-- armboard_v7a.mk

+-- armboard_v7a_noneon.mk

\-- another_product.mk

Also as far as I recall that there is also another important file you should know about. In /system/recovery.img there is a full copy of everything that is loaded on mtd1. This file is automatically flashed onto mtd1 every time you shut down. That means two things: 1. Any changes you make directly to /dev/mtd/mtd1 get blown away on reboot and 2. If you want to change /dev/mtd/mtd1 you're probably better off just sticking the image in /system/recovery.img and rebooting. When creating your own custom update.zip files (especially when adapting the stock images), you can get tripped up if you forget to replace /system/recovery.img and it ends up overwriting /dev/mtd/mtd1.

Please do correct me so that i can update my knowledge.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] k2wl:
my friend --->

1.there is no mtd partitions on our device. our recovery partition number is p13.

2. i currently making device tree of my own and also contributing to chirag's repository

3.actually i used Android.mk; AndroidBoard.mk;AndroidProducts.mk;device_xxxxx.mk and BoardConfig.mk to make cwm.

you can't build cwm without working device tree.

4. device tree you listed is not used in cm device tree.

to make a sample device tree just make it with mkvendor.sh, found in build/tools /device

5. our chipset is msm7x27a which some what problematic for flashing recovery and roms.

neverthless we will overcome that in next few days!!
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Arinio:
My Dear Friend,

Yes I knew that there is no mtd partition in our device. Previously Samsung use to provide mtd partitions but now they stop that. Also like HTC there is no emmc partition. However /proc/partitions is there and through cat you can get the total partition table and then multiplying it by 1024 and then dec2hex function the partition address can be found. But the problem is that working name will till remain unknown (boot, recovery, cache etc).

Regarding standard device tree I am somewhat confused. Can this be created in a standardized format?

Regarding the graphics issue it seems that a patching is needed. However you are better to judge.

For now help me to update my knowledge how you find the partition table in standard format. Previously I extracted one firmware and then worked with the recovery partition by splitting it into kernel and ramdisk (cpio command). Later on I found the standard table inside ramdisk. It seems to me that this is not the right way to find the partition table. Please do update me.

Thank you Man.. Nw I can Flash zip file from External Sd card.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] k2wl:
1.

ok do this

go to builder.clockworkmod.com

take the stock recovery.img

upload it there (click the option touch at the bottom)

when upload finished

you will get to the page with your build no.

go to build output(it is most likely to fail.)

click on status link in side panel.

this will show you your device tree zip, inputrecovery.img and manifest.xml

download that zip

this zip contains your standard cm device tree.

=========================

2.

cat proc/partitions will give you the partitons with blocks.

now copy that output to any text file.

extract recovery.fstab from recovery.img

now just write names of partitions with numbers with block sizes in text file. that way you get all in one file .

==============================

@zoro_deepak ya this supports external sd.

You can also find the working partitions name under the following

ls -l /dev/block/platform/sdhci.1/byname/

The above is for Galaxy Trend S7392. But I think you can get it by probing /dev/block/platform sub directories easily.
