[LG G2 Mini] croqueurdos:
Hi all :)

(in advance, sorry for my english XD )

I have a G2 mini, and I think the GPS is now worse, if I compare when it was new. Antenna problem ? Is anyone has open his G2 mini (with pics ? XD) ? Anyone know where is the gps antenna on the G2 mini ? I think it's the grey circuit on the bottom at the back, with 4 screw...What do you think about that ? I'm not sure.

In car, it's a little the same pb, under the windscreen it's ok, but if I take it in hands, the signal fall...still fix, but very bad signal, and the accuracy is less...

At outdoor, it's ok, but indoor it's hard to have enough good signal to fix. Ok, i know a gps is to use outdoor :D But...

...But recently, I buy a Moto G 2nd gen for my wife (same snapdragon 400 than the G2 mini (D620fr for me)) and the gps fix between 3-5 seconds...with 3m of accuracy oO Indoor or outdoor... Better gps antenna ? I don't know...

How can I improve the signal to have a good SNR ?

(For the rest, if you have agps pb, you need to root and change manually or with fasterfix (don't run on mine......strange) the NTP server in file 'gps.conf' in 'system/etc' with your country server (if you want root your G2 mini, you can use the method for G3 (purpledrake). Easy to found with search engine.)).

THanks !

Again me... :D

Finally, I unmount it (easier than G2 or nexus 5 on videos...) but don't found GPS antenna.........But sure it's not the element with grey circuit on the bottom under battery...I release the 4 screw, get off the piece, but gps signal still here...

I think gps signal is probably from LTE antenna. And effectively, it's the same system than G2 or nexus 5, flat antenna with contacts...(like NFC by the way in the back).

Maybe in your case these contacts are not enough good. Perhaps in mine too, cause I still have bad signal in indoor (sometimes enough to fix....)...But I did not dare push the contact, affraid to break it :/

(Again, I hope my english os enough good...).

Hi, Im dealing with Signal loss too.

Any solution? is it a known bug? should i return it to the store?
[LG G2 Mini] moochermick:
I had same issues with gps, worked fine at first then could not get a fix.

I solved the problem by rolling back to a previous version of Google maps.

The latest version appears to mess something up and no gps software can get a fix, I tried stuff like faster fix and changing the gps.conf file but nothing worked.

Now I've gone back to version 7.5.0 of Google maps all is fine I get a fix indoors.
[LG G2 Mini] bombaglad:
i've had a simmilar problem... but i found out that my d620r won't fix gps only when mobile data is off, otherwise it works just fine
[LG G2 Mini] IGnoTon:
Yes, there is a problem with GPS.

There is an easy way to fix it, IF you are rooted.

1. You download this: Faster GPS

2. Set the missing parameters and you're done. Works perfect for me and couple other people.

If you are not rooted, then sorrry, you need to get it rooted.
[LG G2 Mini] croqueurdos:
Hi :)

For the D620 with a gps who get fix, what do you think about the signal quality ? Outdoor, I think it's ok, but in car ? Indoor ?

Do you know where is the GPS antenna ? Three days ago, I opened my D620, but I did'nt saw the GPS antenna...I think the signal is from LTE antenna, but I can't be sure...

Thanks you for infos !

[LG G2 Mini] davex7:
Running on rooted D620r but with minimal changes from stock 4.4.2(Purpledrake worked for me as well).

I got TTFF of many minutes (on a good day!) vs. 5 seconds on a moto G and 30 secs on Nexus 7 2013 all under the same conditions. Clearing and reloading AGPS data just made it take longer, especially if there was no data connection. It seems like it is an RF problem as, even once it has the almanac, it only receives <5 sats out of 15-18 "visible". The SNR is at least 10dB less than other GPS under the same conditions. I normally have most things blocked on the firewall but did allow all connections to see if it improved. However, I don't see much point in a GPS that needs data connectivity to work. It didn't make much difference in the final performance allowing it to get to an NTP server.

I go slightly better performance pointing the back to the sky but there was not much in it. I have returned it for a refund and can't decide if it is worth trying another one.
[LG G2 Mini] rpul:
I got mine with Google Maps 7.7.0, and it updated to 9.2.0. I've uninstalled Maps completely (by using Titanium Backup - root needed), and I got a fix today in some 15 sec. It was inside the car, and it was raining. Under the way I lost the signal a couple of times, but I could not expect anything better with such wetter. Let's see how good it will be with nice wetter outside.

btw. I've also uninstalled GSP-Status. It is a small app that starts with every GPS app, and it helps by "injecting" AGPS data.
[LG G2 Mini] jozka:
I have found out, that GPS is really terrible on g2 mini - for example playing Ingress is a pain.. The pointer is randomly moving within 20-30 m range .

Does anyone know, if under cyanogenmod the GPS is better? Or is it a feature due to a poor HW?
[LG G2 Mini] jozka:
I have run gps test, compared to LG Fino.

As seen on the attached picture, LG G2 mini has got far worse signal. Is this a bug?
[LG G2 Mini] Vagelis1608:
No, it just has a very bad GPS sensor.

I have unlocked and re-locked my Xperia L boot loader for about 10 times switching between different roms and stock rom...

Now my boot-loader status is unlocked and running stock rom 4.2.2 but everything seems to be working fine i mean everything track-id, Walkman.

How can Drm keys be intact after unlocking bootloader?

Just out of curiosity

You can try deleting the file hosts in /etc. Btw, you need to be rooted

If that doesn't work make sure you have ticked automatic date and time and automatic time zone in date & time settings.

Where do you change your Date and Time Today Plug In to two line?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MikeAnthony:
No help? Is it in a ROM or a certain software.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Ha ha - patience my friend :wink:

Aku2 roms have 2 line display by default. (i.e. rom starts with number 2) I guess you have an older rom so have 1 line display.

Options

1. Update rom

2. Use lvmtime plugin which can give 2 line display. http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=45084

If you post and want a reply - i will do so later - i am actually going out for a few hours lol 8)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Cardcaptor_RLH85:
Well in AKU 2.0 ROM's the built-in date plugin was two lines. That caused people to complain quite loudly. Therefore, in all of the newer ROM's they've reduced it back to one line. I hope this information helps you a bit ^_^

[Galaxy Note II General] STELIOSFAN:
Just saw this update.

I have an Italian N7100 and flashed over the France kit kat firmware (N7100XXUFND3) via odin, when it was first released.

Now, the new f/w is not available when checking for updates from my phone (not rooted). It says "latest updates already installed".

Shouldn't I get an update (N7100XXUFNE1) taken into consideration that my phone currently has the previous XEF f/w ?
[Galaxy Note II General] xdapao3:
Not if the CSC doesn't match the country your FW is for.

I am in a similar situation, I live in Italy and I have a Note II from Germany (DBT), Kies would always automatically alert me of new firmwares and download them for me (even though my Note is rooted), now that I have flashed a French FW Kies doesn't do that anymore (it would if I changed the CSC to France but that would wipe the Note so I am obviously not doing that).

The onboard FOTA SW (for you that are not rooted) works exactly like Kies, the CSC must match the FW or it wouldn't see new updates.

No big deal really...

Simply download the French update and flash it via Odin (which is what I am doing right now), it's a Kies FW so it will not wipe the Note.
[Galaxy Note II General] luiss34:
this is for france, wait a while
[Galaxy Note II General] STELIOSFAN:
Thanks for the info.

My CSC is N7100OXAFND3

My BB is N7100XXUFND3

I think all are from France. So isn't it strange that I don't get the update?
[Galaxy Note II General] xdapao3:
Nope, that's just the FW, the Country Sale Code of your Italian Note II is ITV (unless you bought it from a carrier, then it would have a different CSC for each one of them, and each of them would receive only its own updates).

You used to be able to check and change it by inputting *#272*Phone’s IMEI Here# in the dialer but I don't think that works anymore. there are now apps that do that (remember that changing it will wipe the smartphone).

Try *#1234# instead and see what it shows.
[Galaxy Note II General] STELIOSFAN:
Thanks for the reply. My CSC is French. (check my previous message, I have added 2 screenshots for CSC and baseband)
[Galaxy Note II General] xdapao3:
That's still just the FW. Apps like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo should show your smartphone's (not the FW's) Country Sale Code (and allow to change it, and you need root too).

I have xxund3 firmware right now and I tried to flash this new firmware using Mobile Odin but I can't do it because mobile odin doesn't reboot my phone to load the firmware. I didn't want to use odin cause I've got mj5 bootloader and don't want to lose it. Anyone have a problem with Mobile Odin?

Ye MobilOdin cant reboot on some devices with custom rom.

You can still flash a revovery via MobilOdin and manuell reebot the phone.

Then flash a different rom via recovery (like a stock deodexed one)

Then use MobilOdin to flash N7100XXUFNE1.

Yes, like I wrote just flash the new FW via Odin, it won't wipe the smartphone.

That's what I said I was going to do and that's what I have just done, as you can see in my updated sign :p

Of course, it's ALWAYS ideal to perform a factory reset with full wipes (I used to do that every time, *before* and *after* flashing new firmwares just to be sure, but I simply don't have the time these days... LOL).

For those having problems rooting this ROM: NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

After the first boot of this new updated French firmware, I flashed CF-Auto-Root (I had just downloaded a fresher version on Chainfire's website but it still has an older SuperSU version than the latest one available on the Play Store) via Odin, I updated it on the Play Store (you can update it in other ways too) and it just works...

First time you launch it it detects Knox and asks you to disable it etc etc everything works as usual.

(I have the paid SuperSU Pro version but that doesn't change anything).

Did anyone experience bluetooth issues on the official kk roms? (Old France and new France)?

It works just fine on 4.3 (official) and after flashing 4.4.2 it is almost impossible to listen to the music via bluetooth (on any device) - sound gets interrupted like it was an old cd player with scratched cd inside :/.

The range is a problem I think, spind gets just a little better when distance between phone and bt device is <1m but thats not the point of using bt stuff :/

I have been looking for a people having the same issu here on xda and surprisingly I didn't manage to find anyone reporting such problems.
