[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] izzo540:
Hello, and thanks in advance to whoever contributes to trying to help me here. Heres my situation

I started with a Galaxy SIII [Verizon] on JellyBam [the most recent version before kitkat] I had GPS working just fine, there were some bugs and I saw a KitKat version came out so I figured I'd give it a try, ever since then regardless of what ROM I run I can't seem to lock on to GPS.

I tried CM11 and still to no avail, I get GPS through my location and google maps and such so I am able to get step by step directions but no turn by turn navigation, sometimes I just float along roads as if it knows where I am but it can't 100% lock on. Since then I've done everything short of an ODIN flash because that is such a hassle..

I've tried CM11 nothing on the GPS location end.

I tried LiquidSmooth still couldn't grab a GPS signal

Any JellyBam even RC2 still no GPS lockon.

Anyone got a proposed fix, I even grabbed GPS Status and cleared my A-GPS data, and also tried those work arounds like turning your phone on with location already enabled before the restart etc etc. I just can't get GPS to work. I'm wondering if I'm going to have to ODIN and if somewhere along the line a tweak changed something

Also Question 2 - Do system tweaks like AndroidTweaker and such stay after a full rom reload..

Example; On Jellybam use android tweaker to optimize battery life play with GPS on android tweaker

then I format my phone to another rom [cm11] do those tweaks stil stay there until I ODIN or something?

Try taking the back cover off and screwing tight all the screws. (sounds mad but it actually works, there's a whole thread about this)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] izzo540:
Okay, I will try that. I think its a software issue though, but I will certainly give it a whirl.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] izzo540:
Update: That did not work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rgrossie:
Did you REALLY tighten them? What I mean by that is get yourself a good quality small phillips head screwdriver, not a flat head. Turn those screws on the back with a good screwdriver, they're probably loose. I've had the exact same problem twice and both times this worked like a charm. I also did it for a friend of mine, same result. It's worth the $5 investment. I got a "teeny turner" at my local computer store, worked like a charm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] izzo540:
I'll be honest I actually didn't tighten them that hard.. I am going to give it a good twist tonight and see what happens because I have started to grab a signal since I did the original turn. But when I did the turn I Also pulled the SIM card and the SD card and the battery for over 60 seconds, I am wondering if that potentially aided inf ixing it as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rgrossie:
The first time I thought I tightened them it had no effect. Then I got the correct screwdriver and really tightened them, as in they turned at least 180 degrees each and pretty easily with the correct driver. My GPS will lock from the middle of a highrise in Chicago and get 11 satellites. Prior to that I needed to be near a window and pray that it would find 3. Trust the experience of hundreds of others, get yourself the right screwdriver and try it again. Don't use a cheap screwdriver or flat head, you'll just strip the screws. Get a small phillips, shouldn't cost more than a few bucks.

So many say that this rom is, and I quote, *Truly Stable, Fast & Buttery Smooth*. I could see what they mean but you all have to let me know if it's true or not.;) Presenting another A2EPT Galaxy rom, variety grows when XenonHD steps into our midst to bring anew!:D:angel:

All credits to Team Horizon and the OP of these two ported versions.

You must be on ICS kernel to use the Nonkexec 4.2.2 version!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Reserved and ready!! ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] turffe:
Thanks for continuing nonkexec support.

Bugs (4.2.2): UI is pretty big (dpi issue), BMM red led stays permanently on after reboot, No network, 10% battery. So I'll jump to MirageROM temporary.

Any ideas how to make 1% battery instead of 10?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
The rom has per-app dpi controls so change it there, then reboot and this should help you out for your led Issue;click here. :) As for the 10%, it's a matter out of my hands as many roms I've ported from the S. Galaxy phones have it and there's no easy way to change it... -_-
[Motorola Atrix 2] sameerm02:
As always..... Thank you very much Ace for providing all of these new ROM's :good: :good:

I'll definitely try it.... and let you know my review... :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] karan1778:
too many of these.

I just refreshed the atrix 2 development page and saw too many of ports.

I can't decide which one to try. :eek:
[Motorola Atrix 2] sameerm02:
Hi Ace..

DPI settings of this ROM is totally messed up :mad:

I tried to change it from hybrid settings but no luck :(

Please try to fix this :rolleyes:

Screenshots attached for reference
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Lol, there's nothing to really fix sam as for that version, you have to go into the hybrid settings to make proper adjustments.:p

Choose the dpi groups option and then firstly set the android system to the same dpi as your system ui in the list, eg. 240. Go into the other dpi groups and tap once on the apps to remove them all, then reset your rom. ;)

worked...after a restart... :o :)

This ROM has that red led continuously ON problem ;)

In call volume adjustment also works here

and wifi tether too :laugh:

thanks.. :good::good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Good to hear lol, the Led problem solution is in the Resurrection Remix thread in my last post there.

Sorry for the trouble, I'm breaking away from porting for a while as I'm more preoccupied now. :)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kuchar09:
First off sorry if I have missed something but I have been doing some reading but am slightly confused.

I am looking at a Verizon Note 3 on ebay to keep unlimited data since I just sold my Note 2 which was rooted and running a custom rom which is kinda a must for me. Where I am confused is I see tutorials on how to root the note 3 but I also see a petition to have verizon unlock the bootloader. When I hear locked bootloader I think no rooting and custom roms. So did verizon just recently lock the note 3 down like they did with the note 2 4.3 update? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Basically I just want to be able to root my Note 3 but am not worried about voiding any warranties with verizon since I'm buying it on ebay or something. Feel free to post links to this answer since I'm not opposed to reading just kinda overwhelmed right now.

Thanks for answering my stupid question and have a great weekend!!!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kuchar09:
Oh I don't doubt it for a second!! That's why I was confused saw plenty of custom ROMs but didn't really pay attention to tw or not. Not really an issue since I've been having crazy battery draining issues on everything I put 4.4.2 on. Haven't done my research but I'm sure it won't be long till 4.4 tw hits the note 3 anyways.

Ya, Sprints already getting it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
What is "locked" on the retail device is the recovery and boot partitions. They are crypto-signed and verified early in the boot sequence. Until the phone is hacked, it means it is impossible to boot a non-Samsung kernel or non-Samsung recovery. Even if you intentionally blow the Warranty flag on the phone, this behavior will not change.

So, while you can root, whatever "ROM" you want to try and use must play nice with a STOCK kernel (& ramdisk). So, no CM for example.

Also - because of "version upgrade locking", if you upgrade a stock kernel (let's say MJ7 -> MJE), you might not be able to use Nandroid restores of previous ROMs you formerly used any longer... depending on how tightly the ROM depends on kernel & ramdisk behaviors.

And one more thing - the Safestrap "psuedo-recovery" actually boots the beginning of a stock ROM (or whatever you have in the "stock slot"). One consequence of this is that you no longer have a separately bootable recovery to fix up mistakes or restore backups from. If you wedge the primary OS somehow, the consequence of that will be a loss of all data on the phone which is not backed up, and a trip to Odin to restore a pure stock firmware ... and starting all over from square 1.

(If you buy a Note 3, you might want to consider a BIG removable SD card - then you will have room for media/backups/etc that is not vulnerable to an Odin flash)

So basically, you have a limited form of rooting available.

[Android Apps and Games] markyosullivan:
There's a lot of pressure when you first start off as a University student. For the majority of University students, they usually live away from home and so have to organise everything by themselves including their finances. Managing your finances can be very complicated, especially when you don't have a clue what to do. I myself was in this situation.

I am currently a second year University student studying Computer Science. During my first couple of weeks during my first year at university, my class was given talks about finance and there were people handing out budget planning sheets all around the University. I wanted to make sure I'd have enough money to last me throughout the year so I decided it would be a good idea to take one and make myself a budget.

Unfortunately, making a budget was easier said than done. A lot of the categories I didn't need and then I was wondering if I had calculated everything correctly so I knew how much I could spend a week without spending too much. In the end, I decided it would be best to just download a simple budget app for students. When I first searched for a student budget app, there was only two apps which did what I wanted. One was very badly made and the other looked like a direct port from an iPhone app and so was left frustrated.

Later during my first year, I decided that it would be best to start a project which I could show potential placement employees and thought it'd be a great idea to create a budget app aimed at students and so starting teaching myself how to develop Android apps over Summer 2013. In September 2013, I released Student Budget, a simple budget app designed for students.

Unfortunately, in December 2013 I had to remove my app off the store as I lost the keygen when I reinstalled Windows 7 onto my laptop. Before I removed it I had 1,668 downloads and then was forced to upload it as a new application.

TL;DR - Student Budget is a simple application designed to help students manage their finances.

Since I uploaded the application in December 2013 as a new app:

Nearly 2000 downloads (currently 1954)

827 current installs

Average rating of 4.10 from 48 ratings

Featured on Android and Me's top 10 Android App Updates of the Week

Featured as App of the Day on Intellectuapp

Here's a list of the features:

- Simple user interface

- Monitor your incomes and expenses

- Plan a budget to ensure that you're not spending more money than you have

- Check upcoming payments

- Get reminders for upcoming payments

- Automatic calculations

- Option to change currency

- Option to change language

Here's links to the store and also to the Twitter page which I have set up for the app. I tweet about general student stuff and also information regarding the app such as planned updates, how development is going for the next update, etc.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hslayer:
Hey everyone,

My note 2 is currently rooted with custom rom and I am ready to sell my phone.

What are the steps I need to take before selling my phone if I want to delete everything

but still want to keep my current custom rom and root? I need to delete

everything internally (how do I accomplish this using TWRP?) . Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
:)

I never use TWRP, but in CWM, I know I must do a full wipe, then I will have a clean ROM again. :)

No contact, no SMS, no apps, nothing. Only the folders of apps still intact.

And if you have some personal files, you will have to remove manually.

or to make it simple, do a full wipe, and flash the same ROM again :)

but u still have to remove manually those personal folder.

Cheers.

When my Qtek 9090 is in closed condition, it is very "unstabil" and loose. The top part of the device is not well attached to the rest of the device.

When it's in open condition on the other hand, it's seams firm and fine.

Anybody who have encountered the same problem, and found a solution for it? (are there some screws that can be thightened, or does it need service??)

[Motorola Photon 4G] MichaelTunnell:
All of the normal steps to moving to Ting don't work. I was told by their customer service that I would need to do a factory reset and put the phone back to OEM status in order to activate the phone on their service.

Roommate's phone that he got from one of his friends who had given him the phone already rooted and possibly a custom rom...not sure. I found "Gummy Settings" in the system settings so I think it is a custom rom. The fact that he already had it rooted means he has no idea what was used to root it or anything like that.

Can someone help guide me on what I need to do to get it back to a state that it can be setup for Ting?

I am totally lost at this point and I'm not sure if a factory reset on a custom rom would cause any permanent damage or not.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yeswap:
Rooted won't keep the phone from activating, a custom ROM might or might not depending on the ROM.

The "normal" way to activate a used Photon on Sprint or a Sprint MVNO like Ting is:

1. Set up an account with Ting and enter the MEID on the "Enter ESN" screen. Be sure that Ting accepts the MEID as valid and able to be used.

2. Do a factory reset. The reset will not harm the custom ROM if there is one. It will however delete all contacts, accounts, ringtones, saved messages, user installed apps, etc.

3. After you reset the phone it will restart and run hands free activation which will activate the phone on the network. Hands free sometimes fails but it will give you an option to retry. You may have to retry a few times especially if coverage is bad.

If handsfree fails, post the Android version, Baseband version and Build number from the Settings > About phone screen and some one here may be able to tell you what ROM you have and how to get it to activate.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MichaelTunnell:
Here is a screenshot

I have taken a screenshot of the "About Phone" portion of the Settings and attached it to this post. Hopefully this will help narrow down what needs to be done.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yeswap:
Definitely a custom ROM. Have you tried a factory reset yet?
[Motorola Photon 4G] MichaelTunnell:
No I have not because I was told on a different site that doing the reset may mess up the phone depending on the ROM and since I have never heard of this ROM, I decided not to risk it without further information or someone who knows more than me (not hard to do) could guide me on the next best step.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yeswap:
The ROM you're running is Gummy 1.2.2. I'm not familiar with that ROM but the ROM thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1633931 I recommend reading the entire thread and if you still have concerns about factory resetting or activating, post your questions in that thread.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cazcryy:
Hey fellas,

A while ago I installed Cyanogenmod over my stock Samsung ROM (Rogers) using the Cyanogenmod Installer.

Then a few weeks ago, through settings -> about (or information), I updated to CM11 with no issue.

Today, I was prompted to update again (not sure what version it was, but I believe I had the update check frequency to 1 week, and today was the first time I got this prompt in a while).

The phone seemed to update fine, but after reboot, it is stuck on the splash screen (black background, says Samsung Galaxy S III, and has the cyanogenmod guy/logo at the bottom). This is the splash screen that pops up (usually only for a second) before the boot screen with the rotating circle.

From the search I've done, I was only able to find people that are stuck on the boot screen (with the circle), rather than the splash screen. And for those people the only solutions I was able to find involved factory reset. Before I attempt any of that, I was wondering if there was anything else I could try (other than wiping cache). Idiot that I am, I haven't backed my phone up since I first installed CM, and I have a number of very important contacts and texts that I really can't lose.

Failing that, is there a way to back up such information before wiping user data? Perhaps after booting into recovery?

Thanks in advance for any help whatsoever.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cazcryy:
With regards to backing up,

If I boot into recovery, can I back up user data like contacts and SMS through ClockworkMod Recovery? If so, will it work even though the phone doesn't seem to be able to boot?

Under Backup and Restore, I see various options, I think storage/sdcard1 is the external SD card.

If I choose backup to /storage/sdcard1, it starts backing up my data, but exactly what will be backed up? Also, I don't have a ton of space in my SD card, would it be possible to select what to back up and what to skip?

Finally, under Mounts and Storage, there is a mount USB storage option. I assumed going into it will allow my computer (connected by USB) to detect my SD Card, and I can delete stuff off of it, but my computer can't detect the phone/sdcard either as media device or storage. Am I doing something wrong, or is this not what this function is supposed to do?

I want to atleast save my files videos photos to the computer, they are all in the internal memory because i never needed an SD card. :crying:

I tried to fully charge the tab but doesn't work and when i plug the tab via usb to the computer, windows asks for this driver omap4430,

i found out about the android system recovery 3e and there's an option to Hard reset the tab "wipe data/factory reset" but i don't want to do that without saving my files first, how can i do that?

Ok, i forgot i made a backup of my files three months ago so tried to do an hard reset with the Android system recovery <3e> and it fixed the tab. :victory: i run the recovery mode by pressing and holding the Volume Up and Power button at the same time for about 30 seconds until the (Android System Recovery) menu appeared. Then i selected with the volume up/down the Wipe data/Factory Reset option and pressed the power button. after that i selected Wipe cache partition and then selected reboot now. It's as good as new but all data (videos, pictures, everything) were erased.

Hey guys, does the P930 (Bell/Canada) edition still have reboot issue on anything other than GB rom?

What is recommended CM version or CPU tweak settings? Was there ever a patch?

I had the P935 in the past and had the issue where if I didn't downgrade to GB then and stuck with ICS+ I'd have reboot issues constantly (phone would reboot just sitting there). I remember reading the P930 and P935 are very similar, so I'm wondering if P930 has issues.
[LG Nitro HD] tdm:
All LG iproj models suffer this issue: p930, p935, su640, vs920, lu6200. Some particular devices are more stable than others on ICS+, it's just luck of the draw.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
I remember the best ROM I ever ran was CM9 RC1 (ICS). I don't think that one ever rebooted and everything seemed to work well. Unfortunately, as mentioned, it may be luck of the draw.
[LG Nitro HD] Flyview:
Do we have any clue why this is? You mentioned something before about the kernel working the phone harder or something. Could you please elaborate? Could it maybe be an unstable voltage mapping?
[LG Nitro HD] tdm:
All I know is that it seems to be kernel related. Several people have tried to relax CPU timings with no success, so it's probably something buried deep in the board config. It is very difficult to track down this sorry of issue. Without specs or a dedicated engineer it is very nearly impossible. The best thing to do, really, is go back to the GB kernel and patch it forward to ICS manually. But even that is a huge task.
