Try install a stock Samsung rom and check GPS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nehiryeli:
I have the same problem for a while. I am using SllimSaber.

I have formatted and reflashed KK several times nothing changed.

Now i will try stock rom as suggested.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nehiryeli:
I have installed AryaV7 nothing has changed, no GPS signal at all :(

Any ideas?

Does your phone's GPS indicator blink? Maybe your phone's GPS is broken? Have you tried aps named "GPS Test", from google play?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gexiaojiang:
Did you tried to use the app GPSData to download latest AGPS info?

Also you can try to modify gps.conf/gps.xml to choose different time/supl server, that is greatly helpful for fixing GPS.

Try reflashing rom (clean install) - In case there is nothing wrong with your GPS hardware everything should work just fine :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nehiryeli:
I have modified gps config data with Faster Gps. Results did not change.

I have also used AndroiTS Gps test,Gps data, Gps status, Gps essentials none of them was able to catch a satellite.

I have clean install Slim Saber but the result is the same.

I am started thinking that it is not software related. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franktompson:
It could be a hardware issue....

Folks,

Like you I spent days editing gps.conf, installing apps, reflashing ROMS, all to no avail.

There seems to be no magic bullet and what works for one may not work for another, but I eventually stumbled across http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1973727.

As you will see it requires opening the case and 'tweaking' two contact points. To my surprise it worked for me - although not perfectly. I get about 10 satellite fixes and 6, maybe 7 locks. ('GPS Test' is an excellent freebie to tell you what locks/fixes you are getting.) But a big step in the right direction. There are a few images in the thread that describe the issue/ remedy.

Top (well, average) tips:

1. If you haven't taken a case off before:

a. don't try it just before setting off to a dinner party. It is a bit of a pig and requires some grunt, swearing and patience - but it can be done! There are a few YouTube videos that help explain the process.

b. you will require a size 000 cross-head (Phillips) screwdriver. Go out and buy one if necessary (if you can find somewhere that sells them - I use the one from my spectacles repair kit which just happens to fit; not perfect but does the job - http://www.poundland.co.uk/spectacle-repair-kit. If you try with too big a head you risk stripping the screw heads and that is ......... well, not recommended.

2. Once you have completed the job test your N7000 (with GPS Test) before putting the 9 screws back in. Mine works better with no screws! You may find different.

As I say above this may work for you and may not, so the usual health warning, proceed if you wish.

You can find similar issues on Samsung smartphones, eg http://gs3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/s...-gps-problems-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-0145332/.

Good luck :laugh:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alan Prost:
Did you solve the problem? I have the same trouble that have arisen after updating to kitkat.I tried everything to solve it, without success (clean installation, downgrading to stock rom, editing the gps.conf file, reinstalling google maps, modem changes, hardware check ect.)﻿.

I switched to Lollipop but problem remain unsolved.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anand_d:
I'm glad I found this thread; I too have tried all possible solutions that may have worked for others (edit gps.config, reflash stock ROM, go back to GB, tighten the screws, bend the antenna contacts and so on), and none have helped. At all.

Now, I read somewhere that what is most likely causing the problem (completely dead gps, gps status apk shows zero satellites) is a corrupted EFS partition. This is a partition that usually is not touched by factory resets, ROM changes and so on. It also contains information that you cannot afford to loose (imei and so on).

So, I managed to backup this partition using KTools. Now, the problem is how do I get a clean, EFS partition? Is there a way to reflash this partition from a hidden backup thru odin? Or some other way?

Any help would be vastly appreciated!

Regards.

Kernel

Did you try flashing another kernel? I believe the T-mobile variants need to use a kernel like Devil or Agni to get wifi working. there was a link in the OP for the rom you flashed for a kernel. It has probably been updated since the link was added.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
I prefer agni. You only need a custom kernel if you are running a pre-knox bootloader. I do and choose Agni. You can find it in the N7105 dev forum.

Late to the party, but I agree- get Agni kernel, it's amazing!

For future reference, here is a text file with the T-Mobile apn settings I use. I have an i317 for At&t, but these settings allow my data on T-mobile's network to work flawlessly. I have a primary and a secondary listed. Anyway, you can save this text file to your extSD so you always have it for reference.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] speculatrix:
I installed the Xiam/Qualcomm Snapdragon Battery Guru app recently:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiam.snapdragon.app

it seems to work well on my XZU.

I'm not convinced it's making a huge difference to battery life, but it seems to be an improvement in the three days its been active.

more info on it here:

https://www.xiam.com/faqs-snapdragon-battery-guru

is anyone else using it?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pablodelouis:
I'm using it for two days now. It says battery saving should start in 1 Day 15 hours.

So wait and see .

My question is do i have to disable Stamina mode ???
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
Tried it in the past, didn't noticed any difference. The thing with smartphones in general is when you're standby and don't touch the device you get good battery life. At the moment you touch the device your battery is going to be sucked dry.

Huge screen to illuminate, processors toggling up (we do want immediate response), apps are updated. And the phone is then only active. When you start using the smartphone then it goes really fast, games, movies, internet, thetering and so on.

When i'm "using" the phone at home i often put it on the charger. Sometimes i receive the message, "phone using more energy then receiving".

When you want battery life, use nokia 3310. Excellent for calling and opening beers. When you want your entire pc in a pocket, deal with the limitations of the battery.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackHanAnLG:
Id have to agree, I used it on my nexus 4 and there was no difference in battery life
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stopa10:
Guys, I have never tried Battery Guru, but I use 2x Battery and I have to say that it works great. It not only enables/disabled network access automatically, but it also has a screen filter. It it's the closest thing to Juice Defender, which was quite popular a while ago.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackHanAnLG:
That's exactly what I use, I find that it works only about 50% of the time and does what stamina mode is meant to do

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:

LNIK: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2506043

didn't do anything that we could see.

Perhaps on a device that doesn't have 'stamina' mode it would be better.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pablodelouis:
Hello everyone,

I just want to share my experience with this app.

I have the Ultra for months now, i'm a heavy user, i tried a few customs roms and i'm now on stock 290. I've never been able to get more than 4h30 of screen time but usually around 4 hours, stamina mode ON, and tried a few third party app. Couldn't notice any improvements. I'm also using Greenify.

Note: Whatsapp, dropbox, google + are always allowed to run in background because i need them

So i downloaded Snapdragon batteryguru 4 days ago and it said i have to wait 4 days so that it learns my phone behaviors . I have to admit i was quite sceptical :rolleyes:

I got a notification yesterday telling me batteryGuru is ready to start extending my battery life.

And guess what i got 2 extra hours of screen time ! :laugh:

Stamina mode is still enabled, low power mode disabled , wifi ON, LTE ON ( yep makes no sense if i'm on wifi but i' m too lazy to deactivate it lol ), bluetooth and GPS ON when i need it , brightness at 100 % most of the time except at night .

BatteryGuru low power mode disabled too.

I have no idea what it does to improve my battery, i know some of you can reach 7 hours without any app or stamina mode, but it all depends on how you use your smartphone and for my usage, 4 hours seems normal.

So i got 6h 14m of screen time now and of course i'm happy :p

Average users may not see any improvement but i recommend heavy users to give it a try :good:

Thanks to GerryS2 from the SII forum, I found out how to add seconds to the clock in the statusbar. I am not sure if this will work in anything other than the stock SystemUI but you can try.

First download the rar attached. It contains the needed smali files.

Decompile your SystemUI.apk and put the three files in the rar into:

smali/com/android/systemui/statubar/policy/

Next go the res/layout/ and edit the tw_status_bar.xml with notepad++

Find: <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock

and change to:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DigitalClock

Recompile your SystemUI and put it in System/Apps. You can overwrite the original or rename the original to back it up (I suggest that)

Here is a screenshot:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Not everyone is looking at YOUR question. Have some respect/patience. There are threads guiding how to flash a different firmware version all over the net using Odin, in the hour you waited for a response, you could have easily used Google to find your solution.

Now you may have an issue about Knox, but since you are going from 4.4 to 4.3 (both a knox bootloader) i don't think there will be any issues.

If you have a custom recovery, just flash a 4.3 ROM

If not, use Odin to flash the 4.3 official firmware package.

With the information i provided you, you should easily be able to achieve what you need to do via Google search.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bl1zz4rd:
Are you sure the 4.4 to 4.3 thing works? I've been using 4.2 on my S4 (I9500) all along, and recently upgraded to 4.4. I strongly dislike KitKat and would ideally like to go back to 4.2, but if there's no way of doing so, 4.3 would be fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
I have not tried it myself. It was just speculation since they are both knox bootloaders. The worst that will happen is Odin will say it failed OR your Knox will be tripped (which i see highly unlikely as knox detects changes from what "should" be there)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlenKing:

Just for info you cant go to 4.2.2 from 4.4.2 am trying right now and i get error every single time (5 times), 4.3 could work fine but....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bl1zz4rd:
Thanks for the help. There were some people who said that it's impossible to go back to 4.2.2 from 4.4.2 and some that said you can't even go back to 4.3, but then others that said it is possible. I tried a number of different ROMs and they didn't boot at all. Then I tried Omega ROM v14.1 (Android 4.2.2), and that works brilliantly now.

Here's the thread for it from this forum: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2232887. Only seems to be for Samsung Galaxy devices at this point.

It is an unbloated TW ROM (actually allows you to choose which Google and Samsung apps to install during a custom install process that begins when you flash it). It's faster than all my previous versions of Android, and obviously takes up less space.

Annoying that not everything works and that it took such a long time to get a successful installation, but at least I've found a ROM that has what I was looking for.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlenKing:
Y

Yup but that is a custom ROM and with proper recovery you can go down to 4.2.2 but when we speak of Stock Samy Firmware and Odin it is imposible :D i have tested it. And Omega is great but still Custom hehehehe :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bl1zz4rd:
Oh yeah, I became aware of that very early on during my search. All the ROMs I've been trying to get working have been custom and Omega is the only one that's actually booted.

I'm just glad I found something that looks like my old TW 4.2.2. Don't really mind whether or not it's custom. It is a shame that you can't go back to older official Samsung firmware once you've updated though. What do you think the reason for that is?

Samsung's "control" issue
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Raptor:
I want more sounds on my device much like my PC.

I want a different sound for:

MSN contact online

MSN Paging Me

Calander reminders

Oulook eMail notification

XpressMail eMail notification

SMS Messages notification

And probably others later

Anyone have any ideas as to registry hacks to add sounds for items that use the default sounds and how to change them?

Raptor
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] huangyz:
you should store any sound media files in MyDocument folder and go directly to Setting-Personal-Sounds&Notifications to set them as you need.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Raptor:
Don't know if you have been to Sounds & Notifications lately, there is a very minimal selection of items to apply sounds too.

Raptor
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ccisn:
I use my SD card for all sounds.

First if you create a My Documents folder on the SD card and dump wav files in there, the Phone App will look in that directory on your SD card and you can choose ringtones without doing anything.

The only directory that I found that Sounds and Notifications picks up is Windows. You can dump WAV files in the Windows directory and it will pick them up under Sounds and Notifications.

For the sounds and notifications though it does not automatically pick up any directory except for Windows folder. (I think. I haven't found any other directories that it picks up. I tried putting WAVs everywhere and unlike for Ringtones the only directory that works is Windows)

Since I have a bunch of WAVs I just use my SD card and I would rather not clutter up my Windows directory or use up the space on my phone.

So what I have to is this.

First go to sounds and notifications and set your sounds and notifications. Just choose whatever sound is available. (Doesn't matter to what)

Then use a registry editor and go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications

There are a bunch of subkeys and each pertain to an event. For each subkey look at the (Default) Value and that will tell you for which event that key is for. i.e. for new e-mail the value is "Messaging: New e-mail message"

Then just edit the "Wave" value and set it to your wav file. Do not use the extension though. If your wave file is example.wave then just put in example.

The path I use for my notifications is the following value:

\Storage Card\My Documents\example

Assuming that there is an example.wav in the above directory. Obviously just change the above path to wherever your wav file is. I have not tried using any other sounds other than wav files so I don't know if you can use mp3's or mid or other sound files.

This at least works for the default notifications. I don't know how to add new sound events for the examples you were giving.

NOTE

If you set these registry settings try not to go back to Sounds and Notifications or you will lose the settings. Then you have to set them again using the above steps. When you exit the Sounds and Notifications applet since it didn't recognize the paths you changed the wav files to, it will just put back the default like alarm1 or something so then you have to change them again.

Hope this helps
