GPS Problem After Update

Hi, it was pretty simple to update via ODIN to F4, but I got no GPS after Update, I have already tried the NV Rebuild Fix, but nothing happened.

Besides, I have just Updated with clean install to G1 that is the most recent firmware from UK, but I'm still cannot find GPS location.

Is there anything I can do to solve this problem? I can turn it on or off, but when using Waze, the App shows that there are not GPS.

Please Help!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheTAMAS:
anyone else facing this?

I have Knox 0x0 but the Device Status says Custom!!!!! :eek:

I know how to artificially correct it.. But I wanna know why did it even go on to be Custom?.. :confused:

Fyki, Base and Modem variant are all upto date and matching..

I froze Knox and related apps - could this be a reason?..

:rolleyes:

Does anyone know how to correct it without using any Mod?..

:fingers-crossed:

Download booster is updated only in 9005 model not in 900 model? So far i updated my N900 to N900XXUENG3 and no download booster option is added.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sweeney_uk:
download booster uses wifi and lte. im sure the n900 is 3g only
[Galaxy Note 3 General] satslu:
So far what i undestand download booster mode is download using both wifi and cellular connection (2g, 3g or 4g). Correct me if i am wrong.

install this rom but when y try to update with OTA i have this message "Failed to update software. Network or server error occurred. Try later or try using PC Kies" and i dont have the update with kies
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radzio27:
Finally, after 3 days of waiting, I forced to start update. (Download in progress)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sirobelec:
Well, I'll do some instructions, compiled from some errors I encountered on the way to the OTA. xD

1. Make goddamn sure your device is the N9005. :D

2. After flashing said stock ROM in Odin, it's all done and it's booting up for the first time, unplug your battery to turn off the phone.

3. Now enter recovery (I am almost sure that we all know how, but just in case :D ) by pressing Volume Up + the Home button + the Power button at the same time for several seconds, on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo, at the top of the screen it should say with blue letters RECOVERY BOOTING...

4. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition.

5. Reboot.

6. Try OTA, it should work.

In case it says "Your system has been modified, software update not available because f**k you", there's a solution for that, too:

7. Root the phone with your favorite method of choice.

8. Install the Xposed framework (in case you haven't heard of it, it's high time you did: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer ) and install the Wanam Xposed module (the framework will ask you to reboot the phone once for the activation of the framework and once for the activation of Wanam's module).

9. Open Wanam Xposed.

10. In "Security Hacks", find "Fake system status", and put a tick on it.

11. Reboot the phone.

12. OTA. :D

Steps from 7. to 12, derived from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46667809&postcount=7

Can someone answer me at 1 question?

I am on "XXUENB1" If I download this firmware and flash it with Odin, this will tripping KNOX? I didn't recive the update (OTA or Kies). Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sirobelec:
Well, it shouldn't, it's official stock firmware.

If done correctly, even flashing ROMs based on TouchWiz shouldn't trip it (don't remember the thread that says it, though).

Flashing AOSP or rooting with something that ain't Towelroot or Root de la Vega trips it.

Also, you're on XDA, the word "warranty" is dirtier than any swear word. :D

The update is not bad, but not worth risking your warranty, if you have one and want to keep it. Adds the S5's Kids mode and the Download booster, as well as changing the quick settings icons to those found in the S5.

Sorry for being a bit lazy as I have not read the entire thread.

But has anyone on here who got this via official OTA on an unrooted phone found that their call recording is working again?

I just reinstalled call recording to see if this update has fixed the problem with KitKat and the Note 3 and it has. I now have voice recording without the need of rooting.

If you would bother searching and/or reading before posting, you would find that this is not a bug, but a new security feature in all Android KitKat firmwares. Non-system apps no longer have the right to write to the external SD card. There is a solution for it, but you need root for it.

Yes I can confrim that, that it is no longer working. Format of sd card not working. What a shame.

Ou and yet another thing, freaking media is using lots of battery (or just procentage) cannot get 1 full day without charging (24h). On note 2 with easy 2 days (same usage before and now). Factory reset doesent help.

So if you block 3rd party apps that are "hogging" sd card, fix damn media scanner or something if only samsung can use it.

GPS has been relabelled 'Location'. I notice that Kids Mode only works with apps downloaded off the Market. My friends little girl likes to draw on my phone but I'm always worried she will press something she shouldn't. You can't put S-Note in the Kids menu. Shame.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] friedrich420:
Apparently they have their own kids version of a drawing pad in the kids mode if im not mistaken my man.. She can use that (unless she is too old...)

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

For anyone with issues with external card (deleting, copying, modifying stuff) you need to do the following:

- Use a root browser (i recommend root explorer)

- Go to system/etc/permissions and find a file called "Platform.xml"

- Open the file. Find:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

Right below that, add: <group gid="media_rw" />

So it becomes:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />

Alternatively, you can flash the fixed paltform.xml from HERE
