[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe540:
Hi everybody,

I have search a lot about my problem, but I don't find the exact same problem. I tried everything said on this forum and can't get trought my problem.

I had a Samsung Galaxy S4 and upgraded three days ago to a brand new Note 3. Everything is going fine exccept for GPS.

Here's my phone informations:

MODEL: SM-N900W8

CARRIER: Rogers (Canada)

Android version 4.3

BaseBand version N900w8VLUBMJ4

Version JSS15J.N900W8VLUBMJ4

The problem is: When I get into Google maps, i'll get a location (It is an approximation using Cell towers I think) When getting into Navigation, The FIRST location is ok (with an error margin but still, it's ok) but it never update position (The application seems to freeze but it doesn't). After searching a lot I installed applications like GPS Test and GPS Status to find out that I never get a GPS lock. After two or three minutes I get 1 or 2 satellites but never get more so it cannot lock. I often lost the 2 satellites I was getting after a few more minutes.

I got a lock once, I was inside my house, had 7 satellites but lost it after a few minutes again.

I did a Factory Reset, I did clear cache and dalvik cache several time, uninstalled Google Maps, tried the GPSFix.zip files as discussed here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2612757). Tried to clear AGPS and redownload, recalibrated compass, ... i think I tried everything I found but nothing help.

Please note that tests have been made on the road, with a clear view to the sky (No buildings, nothing in the way from the phone to the satellites. I also have experiences in rooting, flasshing ROM, playing with system files, so it should not be a lack of knowlege :P

My phone is rooted but i don't want to flash any ROM because I still have Knox flag to 0x0 and want to keep it (For a warranty purpose!)

If anyone can help on this, it would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Jonathan

Use that warranty... You should be able to use the GPS and the fact it doesn't get satellite lock is a problem...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe540:
I did drop the phone ONE time and the glass break. I think there will be no way to get warranty until I repair it. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colide:
I've been having this issue since upgrading to KitKat on Note3 (Snapdragon) International Version.

I found an app today and fixed it.

App is TopNTP and you can find it in Playstore.

You need to have Root, of course.

Before it would take forever to lock the signal, and most of the time it wouldn't at all.

Now it takes from 5-10 seconds.

I'm on Stock ROM.

GMaps needs a data connection so could end up costing you a fortune.

Try navfree maybe?

once it has downloaded your specified map,use wifi,it only uses GPS after that.

Thanks for your answers, I solved the problem when repairing my screen. I think the antenna cable wasn't well inserted and by disassembling and reassimbling the phone, everything is perfect now.

I have X-Note rom, without breaking knox flag. Everything is good since that!

Thx

has any experience mail disappearing? I had about 10 emails with attachments and they're all gone. I have mail deletion set to Manually so I know its not that. is there a problem with Pocket Outlook randomly deleting emails?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ShoGunSamurai:
mine also deletes any mails older than a few days when I check for new msgs using pop3
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] treblechance:
make sure that if you are using pop3 you go to settings an advanced and select how may days emails you want to download, with push email (activesync) do the same in the activesync settings.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dangerous_dom:
I have see the same thing happen a few times.

I downloaded an email that had an attachment. I then clicked the option to download the full email with attachment. I then click send/recieve and the mail had just vanished. After a soft reset its there again but with no attachment. I went around and around in a circle until eventually the email was there with the attachment, which was corrupt!

Gave up and deleted it in the end.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cmwalton12:
I just installed the official cm11 rom 4.4.2 2-26 nightly on my XT912, and everything is working great except that Google Play Music and Apollo are not reading the music I have on my SD card. I can open up the file manager that came with the rom amd navigate to my SD Card, open my music folder and select a song, choose to open it with Play Music and it will play just fine on the mini player that pops up on the screen. When i go and open the actual Play Music App it doesnt see any of the files though, same thing with Apollo. I have tried uninstalling gPlay Music and Apollo and reinstalling, but that did not fix the issue. I also downloaded several apps that are supposed to force the phone to scan the sd card, still no luck. Can anyone help me with this? I couldnt post in the development forum because this is my first post.

You start or participate in a forum. It's a baby forum because it just got started. Your baby is growing up and turning into a toddler (about 50 pages in). Your toddler is curious and wants to know what's out there by asking questions, because they are unsure or not know things. You say to your toddler you should know better and I'm done with you. I can see if it was even 100 pages in...no more like 250 pages in and saying, please stop asking the same questions. I'm almost sorry I'm apart of this forum with cry babies and/or pity shows starting threads like I'm taking a break or I'm leaving. Just leave! Peace out! Guess what? In two months there might be one or two people saying, hey remember blah blah blah and blah blah. Life goes on and the forums go on. New devs and new threads. The way of the world. If you want to leave, so be it and be done. Come back if you wish. Real men and/or women don't look for pity. Smell ya later.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sinistertensai:
you basically summed up the user base there. I dont think toddlers should be playing with smart phones, and trust me this aint no pitty thread. the last time I went M.I.A. there where a few thread asking where I went. you can enjoy your new devs, lol enjoy the ones that'll take our work and make 12+ version from it with no enhancements.

[Moto X Q&A] Nopinky:
Here is the senerio, using a bluetooth headset...

Watching a video, make a phone call, go back to video, there is no audio and vid plays at what seems like twice the speed. turn off bluetooth, turn back on, video is now fine till the next phone call.

This is not player specific, meaning any media player ( YouTube, Netflix, NBC news,NPR audio) will do this after making a call till i toggle the blue tooth radio.

Not rooted, stock ROM.

I believe this started happening since the 4.4 update.

Any ideas?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] natescape:
Hi all. My son's stock Galaxy S3 turns on, but the screen stays black. It vibrates when receiving calls, and when on, the menu and back lights turn on when the power button is pressed. The blue light in the upper-left corner blinks every 10 seconds or so, so the phone is on.

Ideas? I've tried holding the home and power up buttons when turning on, the home and power down buttons when turning on, pulling the battery, SD, and SIM card for multiple minutes, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Sounds hardware related.

I'd get it looked at, you might be able to tear it down yourself and see if the ribbon cable for the display is connected correctly. There are good tutorials online.

It could be a pretty expensive fix, so it may be worth it to upgrade to a new device or use insurance to replace it. It definitely sounds like the phone is on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] natescape:
Thanks! The phone is from June, so Verizon agreed to send a new one. Yay!

I'm looking to see if i'm all up to date. I have the T999V version. I do a lot a search, without being 100% sure if I have the latest version of the bootloader and baseband for my phone.

Is someone knows what are the last version ?

My current are:

Bootloader: T999VVLDLL1

Baseband: T999VVLUEML2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
All the modems are listed in this comprehensive thread. I don't know if you are on Wind or Mobilicity.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] armkreuz:
I aware of that thread, but it's only for modem(baseband) but not bootloader

I'm looking to find a solution for newer rom that won't boot since cyanongenmod merge s3 variant together to d2lte

Some people seems able to boot, and some like me can't

Maybe it's just cause by older bootloader like mine (VLDLL1 for SGH-T999V)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
The newest bootloader for your device is ML2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] armkreuz:
If you want to be up to date with T999V phone valid for everyone, stock rom, any custom rom. doesn't matter, work for any scenarios.

Most up to date file by 2014/03/03

You'll need this:

Odin 3.07

T999VVLUEML2_T999VYVLEML2_T999VVLUEML2_HOME.tar.md5

UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip

philz_touch_6.19.3-d2lte.tar.md5

DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.1.zip

DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_SCRIPT_V5.0.0.zip Optional ( to remove lot of samsung crap if you stick with Stock T999VVLUEML2_T999VYVLEML2_VTR )

You have to be in download mode, hold HOME+VOL_DOWN+POWER)

Then connect with USB

Now with the PDA button in Odin, select the tar file in VTR-T999VVLUEML2-20140104101338.zip and Install

Then install philz_touch_6.19.3-d2lte.tar.md5 ( or any other recovery in tar file ) Like the rom, use the PDA button to install it.

Now reboot you phone in recovery( hold HOME+POWER+VOL_UP )

In the recovery, install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip and DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.1.zip ( if you want to get root acces and remove knox new samsung securty)

Optional install DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_SCRIPT_V5.0.0.zip

Reboot

And now you have the latest Bootloader and Modem(baseband), rooted and without Knox for T999V and can install any other roms you want.

I am really interested in this tablet and love the fact that it has a pen input and was wondering if anyone has any experience using sketchbook pro with pressure sensitivity and if it works with this tablet at all?, I had a note tablet at one point but got really tired of the bloat and the bs that came alone with Samsung's product, any input and help would be great thank.

I tried to install another rom when just ruining what was already installed, then it is no system running.

I'm not consiguindo to flash any other rom via ADB and TOOLKIT, also tried to install the ROM from sideload and I got nothing.

Also tried to transfer files to install an internal memory via rom put the "push" command does not succeed, all options call for activation of usb debugging.

You can fix all issues like this by flashing a stock rom. Download it straight from google https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images.

Flash using "flash-all.bat" for it to work properly you must have the fastboot.exe in the same directory (or have added it to your path).

Hi everybody. My wildfire with newest radio version can't detect my bluetooth headset. Bluetooth (if working) can only detect other mobiles for file transfer. In some roms also gps wasn't working at all. I was tested in last years CyanogenMod 7.x stable and nightlie, something called: Ultra smooth 4 aroma version.

Now i'm testing with no positive results RemPuzzle. Still can't detect my bluetooth headset. I'm very disappointed :(

Can anyone help me solve my long distance problem/nightmare? :(
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
It could be that the wildfire does not support the version of bluetooth that the headset uses. has the wildfire your using ever connected to it? what about any other phones you have access to? htc bluetooth drivers can be very strange when it comes to periferal devices, like keyboards, wii motes ect. but i have a bluetooth headset kicking about and a wildfire so i will have a play about and see if i can confirm support for at least some bluetooth headsets :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imdyingdude:
Yes it was connected with this bluetooth device with stock htc soft/android. But now i broken my wildfire :( I installed stock android from htc via exe installer. But i can't successfully root my device. I think it's beacause i can't install superuser binary

Now i have:

broken recovery

stock

can somebody help me? sh****t...
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Sorry for my late reply. Been.having some phone issues myself :/ right, to work :cool: what you need to do look in the dev section for a pc49img.zip version of clockworkmod version 5.0.2.0 and place it onto the root of your sdcard. Reboot into hboot and your bootloader will find the update, use volume up to allow and it will write the recovery.

Now back to the internet! Go here http://download.chainfire.eu/204 and download the zip package 0.94 from the bottom. Add this to your sdcard and the boot into recovery. You will need to delete the pc49img.zip from your sdcard or your hboot will loop...

Once in recovery flash the zip and then wipe the cache partition.

Finally reboot Into the phone ans run supersu. If it finds any other superuser packages that can cause issues it will delete them :)

Hi there !

Please help me... if this is possible.

As you might know, when the menu bar is hidden, you still can see a tiny half-transparent button at the right edge which will pull out the bar again on push.

The thing is: That button appears in most apps like Comic/EBook Readers, even Games (!!) and others where it really annoys me....

Any idea how to get rid of it ?

PS: No root possible, updated on its own, tried different launchers, nothing changes. On my other Android devices I´m using gesture control to switch the status bar off completely.... But - of course - rooted ....

Any help warmly appreciated ... :( :( :

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] sh500:
I have the BT-77 (also from ebay) and it works perfectly with the TomTom 5.21 software...

I had trouble with it initially too- it's to do with setting the right COM ports.

To get things working, I downloaded and installed Pocket Bluetooth Tools:

http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/ Download version 1.0.1.2

Delete any existing pair that you may have with the GPS receiver...

Re-pair the device with the above software installed, and now you will get an iconic menu, use the serial port option and select an available COM port. Complete pairing procedure as per on screen instruction.

Now start up TomTom and go to GPS options in preferences- select 'other bluetooth device' and now you should see the something called 'BT on COMx' x being the port you assigned earlier of course. Complete configuration.

Wait for the receiver to get a fix and you should be ready to go.

I've used the Pocket Bluetooth Tools many times on different variants of the Magician and has work everytime.
