[MENTION=5261239]ispot[/MENTION] please download GPS status & toolbar from the playstore. Turn GPS on and open the app and see if you get a GPS location. This may take a minute. Then push menu/tools/manage A-GPS state and click reset to deeper previous GPS cached data. It will then try to find a location. Now go back to the previous menu and instead of choosing reset click on download. It will help speed up the GPS. If you get a location open Google maps and see if its working by pressing the lock location button. Post your results on here if we need to take more steps to fix it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Big Bang Anarchy:
I just flashed this rom last night, and I am super happy with it so far. I only two problems that are plaguing me, though:

The GPS is not working at all. I tried running GPS status and toolbox following the instructions in the post above, but to no avail. It just keeps trying to search.

Auto-rotate is not working at all, despite the fact that I have screen rotation turned on. It was working last night when I tested the audio mods on a YouTube video, but sometime afterward is just stopped rotating.

EDIT: Don't know if this belongs here, but I'm also unable to disable the home button waking the phone while it's off and locked. Tried changing the gpio-keys.kl file as I had done back in 4.2.2, but now it doesn't to work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vlad2277:
It's interesting why would same phone, with same hardware, same system, same bootloader, same modem, work for most by flashing same ROM, and some of others keep saying, GPS doesn't work, WIFI doesn't work, BLUETOOTH doesn't work, etc.

The only logical and real life answer would be either there's hardware problems or some of software/drivers were not flashed or installed correctly against very detailed instructions on this forums.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
OK guys I totally agree with vlad2277. I think we have to check the hardware next. For this we will have to be on a stock ROM because we do not have access to the hidden menu while on a modified ROM. If you guys are willing to test the hardware just let me know and I will walk you through it. I believe it's necessary to know if you have a faulty device or if it's something else. This method has been confirmed working on a lot of Samsung devices so it's worth talking the time to fix it. Once again we will need to be on a stock ROM so be prepared for that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
Read the post about the GPS issue. As for the rotation and home button you can open wannam and click on system. There you will find an option to enable rotation for all angles. That should force it to work. Also there will be a option to disable the home wake button. Once you make your changes just reboot and check it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Big Bang Anarchy:
New to Xposed, so that helps a lot.

For the record, my GPS is working fine now. Don't know what the GPS status did, but it worked after a couple of more tries. I had said what I read about the issues above had not worked for me... at least, until it actually did.

You're doing some good work in this thread. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
I think wiping the stored GPS data may be the fix. Well done!:thumbup: let me know if xposed fixes things for you.

[MENTION=2539434]MDEnce[/MENTION] if the apps can't fix the extsd for you then we will have to edit manually to fix. You can go to the link provided and download a file and replace it in your phone and set permissions to rwrr. I'm pretty sure something went wrong when changing ROMs from GE and TW. I try to stay away from aosp because it always ends up braking something for me. Last time I was on aosp I couldn't update my recovery no matter how I tried. Anyway try replacing the file stated in the link and cross your fingers. I will also download it and compare it to the file in my system.

Not a problem. I don't know what app breaks it either, unfortunately. One would have to go through the removal of each app individually to see. But all you have to do is push that file to /system/lib, set permissions, and you'll have screen rotation working again without the Samsung bloat.

Baseband Help please!!

I at one point I had the MDL baseband as I was on 4.3 but I reverted back to stock to start over due to some issues and apparently the baseband downgrades as well. I am a noob still. I then upgraded to Insane Kit Kat and my data and signal is constantly dropping. This is when I noticed I was on the MDL baseband again. I know I need to update to the NB4 baseband but am not sure in what order to do everything since I am currently on 4.4.2 with the MDL baseband. Should I go from MDL to MK2 and then MK2 to NB4? Do I have to downgrade my rom and then update the baseband or what? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Drew
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
You can go straight to NB4

Seems to be all fixed now. Can't believe I forgot the baseband had to be updated. I dealt with a similar issue but it was like 6 months ago.

No I used wicked v9 before, never used aosp. I saw the different apps (kit kat sd fixer or something)that people suggested trying and neither worked. . They both said my permissions were already fixed.its weird because it worked for a few minutes and then it stopped almost as if the card had been pushed out. . And it was right after I flashed the radio. Any other ideas What else I can try?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
I would flash the modem again. Did you flash twice? The Sickness put in a app in the drawer called phone info. Open it and take a screenshot of the firmware info. I wanna see if it stuck. When I flash the nb4 I pull the battery out after the 1st time then get back in download and reflash. Auto reboot must be unchecked.

Hi, My O2 Exec has problems with the WIFI connection, no matter where I go, if O2 Exec isn't really near the access point, will not detec or connect to the wireless network.

when I say near, is around 1 meter from the access point antenna, if I go more tham 3 meters, goes almot 100% oofline and 4 meters even detect. It happens at home and at work, in both locations my laptop works fine 40m from the access point and my nokia 9500 (cel I used to have) goes 30m, I've made this tests of distance today.

So... seems to be on My O2Exec the problem... :( ... I think started when I upgraded the ROM to latest build available at my-xda.

Please, any clue? I already changed performance/battery from the control panel/wireless and even reset many times, updated the rom again.. no clue at all...

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jewelkobayashi:
Something that has been annoying me since the day I bought the tablet (LTE SPG 521)

When the tablet has been idle for a while, the WiFi turns itself off.

So whenever I pick it up without thinking, open chrome to start web browsing, I am connected to internet, and things are fine until I realise that I have been using 3G instead of WiFi.

Most of the time I need to go into shortcut quick access from pulling down top right corner and turn WiFi on.

Sometimes I need to go into WiFi settings and turn it on, even though the quick access shortcut says WiFi is on.

I do have stamina mode on, but have disabled every other power saving feature related to WiFi. In fact it is the same setting on my Z Ultra and Z1 Compact, but needless to say, I do not see this behaviour on my other sony devices.

But somehow on the tablet, WiFi does not auto connect, even in presence of a WiFi router that is set for auto connect.

Even If I was using the particular access point for WiFi connection, lets say I play games for about 30 minutes... the connection is lost and I need to go into WiFi settings to turn it on again (with the small slide to the right toggle switch within WiFi settings to turn on WiFi itself).

Anyone else experiencing this?

I would rather avoid it, since over usage on 3G for me means speed throttling later in the month...

P.S. Yes, I am on latest firmware 17.1.A.2.69

On Advanced WiFi, Keep wifi on during sleep is set to ALWAYS., avoid poor connection is turned OFF, and Wifi optimization is also OFF
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
Factory reset it? That's probably the first thing they tell you to do if you approach the technicians, if the problem still persist then demand for an exchange if not refund it.

I'd just bought mine today and unfortunately the bottom right corner the glass sticks out and it is pushable. I'm going to exchange it tmr.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jewelkobayashi:
Thanks for the idea, but no luck.

In any case each time I upgraded firmware, it should have sorted itself out, but problem still remains...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefproll:
"Factory reset" is always the first "solution" you get by "technicians". Usually translates to: "Keeps the customer occupied for hours, silencing him."

Regarding the issue: I cannot confirm that, NO WLAN issues with my LTE Z2, it's just "always on", never losing the connection.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jewelkobayashi:
Do you have stamina mode ON?

With my other Xperias, the second I turn my screen on, the wifi is off/sleeping, but it launches and connects almost instantaneously. I guess the problem in my tablet is that it is not doing so, requiring me to do it manually...

I thought the FW for the tablet and the phone Z2 was the same? Maybe I should go and look in the forums over there...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
I don't have the problem, either.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jewelkobayashi:
UPDATE

Problem Solved.

The cause was ad blocker app that I had installed, and it seems to me that whenever I was using certain apps that needed ad-blocking, all this thing would do is turn wifi off (but not 3g/LTE)

How Dumb is that?

Anyways, Wifi now always on even with stamina mode on.

Thanks for all who listened and threw suggestions!

My phone got turned of suddenly while i was on a call and its not getting turned on . I thought it might be the battery and kept it for charging. And tried after 2~3 hours, but still the same. Its not showing any charging animation ( with the battery icon ) while i kept it for charging. I tried to plug nd unplug the phone so that it shows that animation , but it doesnt show up.

I searched in forum and did soft reset and hard reset ( removing battery and hold the ON button for 10 seconds and insert battery again and try). Even that didnt work out.

Does anybody have any idea on what might be wrong?

BASE DEFENSE

The goal of Base Defense is simple, the player’s city is being attacked by a hail of ballistic missiles. As the commander of regional surface to air missile battery the player must defend as many buildings as possible from enemy missiles. Enemy missiles include MIRVs and even smart bombs that are difficult to shoot down. The player has a limited number of missiles in his missile batteries. A battery becomes useless when it runs of ammunition or is destroyed by an enemy missile. The game inevitably ends when all buildings in the city are destroyed.

If you have enjoyed Missile Command in your childhood, you will for sure enjoy Base Defense.

Root is working well. I've got GravityBox(JB), XHaloWindow, and XQuickSettingsToggle loaded via Xposed. I probably won't load any others since there's no way to disable xposed if it goes into a boot loop since I don't have custom recovery.

The camera had the latest firmware(NC2, per SamMobile) and while I was asked to disable a Knox program after I rooted, it does NOT have a root switch on the download screen as my Note3 does.

All data was preserved in rooting, though backup early and often(like voting in Chicago).
