[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adem_7:
I have actually had the same problem, I thought it was only me. I ran stock Italy ROM 4.3, but don't see any improvement under 4.4.2 Poland. Even GPS Status app does not seem to help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Interesting, my GPS lock in MapsWithMe Pro is almost instantaneous. About 5 seconds, usually. Unless I'm indoors, but you can't blame a phone for the laws of physics.

N9005 DBT 4.3 MK2/MJ7/MK2

If I use Google Maps, it will only triangulate if I turn on 'Use WiFi', 'Allow Google Location' and more of that rubbish, and even then it takes about 5 minutes to get a lock.

My advice: Stop using Google Maps.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
1. I almost NEVER use Google Maps (OK, maybe for testing stuff) - and I can only wonder how you got that idea anyway :) Generally I am very happy with Sygic and I also use GPS Test for quick testing, also Accurate Compass (for very quickly calibrating the compass).

2. I have now tested MapsWithMe for like 2 days and I can guarantee you that the "instantaneous GPS lock" is COMPLETE bullsh*t - the program is only caching your last position (which generates huge problems if you move between locks), then it tries to use location data from your WiFi connection if that is active; if not it then tries to use some very basic and EXTREMELY INACCURATE positioning based on GSM cell towers (at which point the error displayed for my position was in the order of 1-2 km); during all those steps the program also fires-up the GPS - but it acquires the lock EXACTLY with the same speed (or complete lack thereof) as any other program attempting GPS lock :rolleyes:

3. What still remains a little surprising for me is that sometimes (like well over 50% of time but NOT 100%) my GPS lock is MUCH, MUCH faster (in any program) if I have the Mobile Data connection active (which normally I rarely have); once I have the GPS lock I can then stop the Mobile Data connection and the lock remains perfectly good. EDIT: However the WiFi connection does NOT seem to make ANY difference on GPS lock whatsoever.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2kkingboy:
Isn't this basicly what AGPS should be doing. It requires a data connection to get the positioning fix faster than just using the GPS. once it gets the location it does not need the data that much. Except for google maps to download the map and navigation information, and this is why it needs a data connection all the time.

Sygic does not need a data connection for the map nor navigation. But, of course, having a data connection well get the fix faster.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
Oh, I had no surprise from the fact that aGPS can work :p

What I might have not mentioned above (fixed that now) was:

- a WiFi connection never improves things

- my old i9300 never needed the mobile data connection (or any kind of connection - that made basically no difference on it).

Those two seem to suggest that the Note3 "GPS driver stack" is worse than the old i9300. Also the fact that the mobile data connection does not improve things in 100% of the cases was IMHO interesting to note.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Ah, miscommunication. I did not mean you used Gmaps, I meant people in general. :) Gmaps is a nightmare, on 50Mbps LTE it still barely loads... Even on my homenetwork of 120Mbps WiFi it takes ages to load the map itself, surely the packages are not 1GB a piece?

I travel an average of 600KM a day.

Yes, MWM caches the last position. Which is hilarious from time to time, last week it thought I was still in Zurich when I was actually in Berlin. If you click the gps icon three times again, it repositions. Waiting for it to refix automatically takes ages. :eek:

I do not have WiFi on the Autobahn, (If only! :() and 70% of the journey I do not even have a mobile signal. :(

Nothing suprising about that. :) It uses the celltowers to triangulate by sending a data package, as opposed to attempting to connect to three satelites. If the network is fast enough (UMTS and above) it is much easier to get an accurate position. GPRS doesn't work all that well, nor does having 1 bar of signal on anything but LTE. :)

WiFi only helps if there are active points nearby (no need to connect to them, detecting them is sufficient) and you have 'use wireless networks' enabled under Location Settings.

I just tested: WiFi and Mobile Data off, No network signal, on the Fyra (Highspeed train. Or as much as the NS can manage, anyway.) from Schiphol Airport to Breda @160kph. Got a lock with SpeedView in 15 seconds, detected 24 sats. Not instantaneous, but then you can't ask for that at such speeds. :)

I do have to say, on the previous firmware it took much, much longer. About 1-2 minutes. And I tried a Dutch Note 3 yesterday, it required almosylt a minute on the same firnware version.

The weather also influences the signal, clear skies vastly improve things. As does solar activity. Last October you could wait an hour and not get a lock, due to a solarstorm causing too much magnetic interference in the atmosphere. Even my GPS locator itself took almost half an hour. :eek:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
Actually original aGPS doesn't quite work that way at all - here is some info from some of the guys doing some of the Linux kernel drivers for aGPS devices (I can not guarantee it is 100% accurate but fits OK with other info that I have seen):

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Hardware:AGPS

And another thing to remember when testing GPS - after a successful GPS lock it is very likely that you will have a MUCH faster 2nd GPS lock for up to about 2 hours. So any such immediate 2nd lock should be see in the above context, also the lack of it :)

Least this problem isn't just me. Always used to track my rides with Endomondo without a hitch but I went out for the first time since KitKat and I couldn't tell you how many times it dropped out on that 2 hour ride ... but it was alot
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koj012:
Seems to be a very common problem. Read somewhere that this is a software issue and there is a fix if the phone is rooted by flashing a patch on it. But I'm not about to root my phone and lose the warranty. SAMSUNG please release an update quickly that fixes this problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
I am rooted (with knox 0x0 :cool: ) and I have looked into that patch - the one that I saw only sets a different AGPS server address and has minimal or no impact - actually I have a strong feeling that there is something in the CSC that overrides it, which explains why the AGPS server only improves things for me when connected only on mobile data and not over wifi.

IMHO that seems to be mostly a firmware / software driver issue - on my old S3 it looked like there was a lot more "caching" of the "GPS almanac" and slightly more pre-calculation of the "GPS ephemeris", possibly on the application CPU on the phone (which has humongous general-computing power compared with the CPU used inside the GPS circuit, which however is highly more specialized). On the Note 3 it seems to work in a "safer" approach in which older (than like 2 hours) GPS almanac data is considered inaccurate and so is the time otherwise used to pre-calculate GPS ephemeris (which time to be honest I have seen WILDLY inaccurate on some carriers, something like 27 seconds away; and of course if the time is not carrier-set the phone time can easily be tens of minutes away :rolleyes: ).

Hi guys, sorry for my english, but I need a help. I have an Amoi A860W (MT6589), and I've trying to make custom rom from the original firmware. I've using dsixda's kitchen, and when I trying to flash custom zip it dont format /system! I must do it manually by "Mounts and storage - format system". I've look into updater-script, but its correct. Another problem is when phone turns on, ROM boots good, but phone dont see any sim cards! "Sim Toolkit" says that "app isnt installed", and in Settings menu "Manage SIM-cards" isnt active.

What have I done wrong? :c

It's normal if you recently have clean installed any custom ROM on your phone. The battery will be automatically calibrated after a few charging cycles, don't use battery calibration apps because they have no effect whatsoever.

Can also be caused by old/damaged battery and need battery replacement.

Hi all, ok so I've been experimenting with VPN on my home network I want to be able to try and stream my music collection to my MDA (That would be sweet), but I'm having a wee bit of trouble. So far I have managed to get remote desktop working, I know it doesn't have anything to do with VPN, but I started with that, and I can establish a VPN connection to my desktop. I can see the connection active on both the phone and the pc, the only problem is that so far I haven't been able to see/access my shared folders, I have done a great deal of checking in the past few days. I haven't found anything I can use... everything is more along the lines of VPN from pc to pc, not pocket pc to pc. They way to access the shared folders is trough file explorer and choosing open path and then putting in your VPN servers ip address or name and the shared folder you want to access right?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tuncay_93:
The bug i am facing is related with the "Camera" app and especially with the flash.

1. Select 'Normal' shooting mode.

2. Turn the flash to "ON" (not auto)

3.Touch to focus somewhere (Flash should be fired up)

4. Select for ex. (Night) shooting mode - touch somewhere to focus.

5. Move camera to another object (focus again)

6.switch flash to "OFF" and flash will still be fired up. When you touch to focus again...

This is how i face the bug every time for sure if you play with shooting modes and flash modes i am sure you can find another situations.

(If this is not only me with such bug)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Fluoxetine:
I'm not sure many people will be able to help with this bug as it's on V20b, that is LG's issue, and as you can tell most people are focussing on custom Rom development here.

But just try wiping cache and data of the camera .apk or maybe try a 3rd party camera app with all the shooting modes? Or try out any cameras in the themes/apps section of this forum.

I wouldn't say this is a bug of much importance. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tuncay_93:
I posted that in case if its only my problem i have wiped app data and factory reseted several times but this bug still there i have found that almost everytime you want to turn the flash off you should switch back to normal mode. With simple camera apps from the market the bug its gone.!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Fluoxetine:
So the soloution to the issue is use a camera app from the play store or keep switching back to normal mode, just one of those annoyances thou eh. I doubt LG will fix the problem thou.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tuncay_93:
If LG are going to update the 4x i hope so but somehow someone should let them know about the issue.

But i see that nobody believe in that LG will update the 4x. Because everyone knows that LG's always lack of updates even their flagships.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KuGeL94:
Hello, I would like to know if its possible to take the stock recovery.img from my current ROM which is German Stock 4.4.2 and back it up for later use.

I want to do this because i want to root my device and then return back to stock recovery. I have already tried something, btw my bootloader is unlocked.

I installed thr official german 4.3, sideloaded the official german 4.4.2 and used cwm and rooted but then i looked in both zips of the stock roms and there was recovery.img only in thr 4.3 one so after rooting i flashed recovery.img which screwed everything, because another small official ota update, only 1.9mb which was already on 4.4.2 with 4.3 recovery and the phone booted normally and wanted to update that small ota update and after 1 min the phone restarted but it wouldnt go to the recovery and install the update it wpuld reboot over and over again

My question is how can i back up the stock 4.4.2 recovery.img for later use, thanks in advance for amy helpful posts
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H377:
Hi,

I think the easiest way would be to check your ROM version and download the complete firmware from somewhere like FileFactory and that package should include the stock recovery which can be easily flashed back after you are done with the root.
