You aren't getting a GPS lock... My guess is on gmaps the arrow comes up for your location but it's probably using WiFi n data location hence your navigation not working, it also probably doesn't update properly. Get GPS status from the play store and see if you load/lock onto and satellites.

LPP_PROFILE = 1 does not work for me. Still no GPS. But thanks for the tip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
GPS locks fine for me. I wiped everything with philz, odin'd back to 4.1.2, unlocked, then flashed this rom and MJ9 modem. Haven't tried ND7, but data is working fine. I never could get a solid lock with any other kit kat roms, but this locks fairly quick.

Screen mirroring fails to connect though. Anyone aware of a fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
This rom comes with the nd7. Under about rom in the op it says.. "N7105 4.4.2 Port w/ Verizon ND7". So if yours is working good out of the box cool. I had messaging issues so I flashed the mj9 back. So far so good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] z71kris:
I'm having terrible charging issues. I just wiped and reflashed this ROM and am watching my battery drain as I type this while it's plugged in. Fresh install, nothing changed or theme only a few apps got downloaded before I hit airplane mode to stop and charge for a bit because it was so dead that I couldn't even get it to boot until I booted to recovery to let it charge for a bit. Previously the last week or I had it plugged in from about 9 pm until at 4:50 am and I only got to about 85% charge over night, and the battery would drain so quick that I would have to charge thought the day. I haven't even hit the Ota from 3.0 to 3.3 and my battery went from 15 to 12 while typing this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
This rom is amazing for battery life. Overnight it's will drop 4% over 6 hours and I can use it 12+ hours in between charges...I would clean instal...full wipe on philz and try again. Using philz latest?.. 2.7.2 I believe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
I used the latest TWRP no problems,IDK,best ROM I have had so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pgzerwer:
Don't forget that batteries don't last forever; it's possible you need to replace yours. Just a thought.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
I wasn't sure if I flashed the modem or rom first, but it must have been the rom because I have the MJ9 modem. I didn't even try the ND7 since it gave me issues on every other rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
That's weird... I did flash the mj9 modem after installing the rom but mine says nd7..??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] momule:
I agree. I get 10-12 hours of "work". I'm running AGNI - Yankasusq / Zen [MENTION=5657303]200[/MENTION]-1600mhz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
My GPS stopped working after 2 days on this rom. I came in here and found it to be a common problem and nobody knows how to fix it. That's a deal breaker for me. I'm back on SR Remix KK. The thing is I really liked the inverted apps and some of the new Samsung features. I hope someone can come up with a fix. I'll keep checking in because I'd like to give it another try. But the most important thing about a cell phone is the signals to me. That's the only reason I'm still on freakin Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Can you guys upload a log of turning on GPS, trying to achive a lock using GPS Toolbox and then upload it here.. Ill try to dig through it and see what the issues are.. I am download the Neb fix as well, don't remember what the problem was, but I will see what we did and see if it fixes the issues as well..

4.4.2 has just been so unstable for everyone.. recoveries don't handle it well..

Not promising anything but I'll have a look..

EDIT:

I looked through the zip and saw what is needed.. If anyone wants to test. Get a Rom that you have working GPS and pull these files..

system/lib/hw/gps.default.so

system/lib/hw/gps.goldfish.so

system/lib/libloc_adapter.so

system/lib/libloc_api_v02.so

system/lib/libloc_eng.so

system/lib/libloc_ext.so

system/etc/gps.conf

These files you can just extract from a working GPS rom, has to be 4.4.2, and add them to the correct folder locations.. No need to set permissions.. Just reboot and test..

Not positive but a fresh install maybe needed..

So another test would be to unzip the Rom, add these files.. then test as well

Hope this helps guys..

Also need a log when anyone gets a chance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] razortaz18:
I have a ROM with working GPS but am unable to locate

system/lib/libloc_adapter.so and

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ace2d:
I didn't see them either.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
When I get home tonight I'll look. Also check other folders.. i would unzip the rom..then do a search through all the folders for libloc_
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] razortaz18:
I'm replacing all the files that I could find from a ROM with working GPS. Currently reziping R3Ds ROM. I will flash and report back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Replacing all of what files? You could be playing with a big fire ball if not careful..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] razortaz18:
Just these

system/lib/hw/gps.default.so

system/lib/hw/gps.goldfish.so

system/lib/libloc_api_v02.so

system/lib/libloc_eng.so

system/etc/gps.conf

Is it safe to do so [MENTION=5056266]lacoursiere18[/MENTION]?

I haven't flashed yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I would say yes as long as they were pulled from 4.4.2 TW..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] razortaz18:
I must've done something wrong. The new ROM wouldn't flash. Just said aborted. Attempted with Philz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Yea.. My suggestion..

Just put those files on your sdcard and transfer them via file explorer.. reboot.. test.. if it doesn't work then the next step would be to reflash the rom with them in..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Hey L18...been awhile. Did you guys have your baby yet?

I was wondering how myself and others were getting the GPS lock quickly and not have these files? I did a very clean wipe wiping everything except SD card. I'm uploading a log... Location was off when I started the log and then turned it on. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Also here's a screenshot of gps status and toolbox.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
That's the puzzling part... This rom has been rock solid for me from the start. No signal, WiFi or gps issues. Only an occasional fc from hangouts. Battery use has been excellent as well. I wished I knew why mine is working while others aren't. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KeylanHalfdan:
Same thing here. I have had no issues at all with signal, wifi or gps either. The only thing that really had problems was hangouts. All I did was disable hangouts, and that has not popped up at all. I still have Sound Alive have the not responding message, although I have no idea what that even is.

By the way, has anyone gotten Samsung Wallet to work on this rom? It said it wouldn't work because I was rooted, so I enabled Root Cloak for it, and then it gives a sign in error and closes every time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ace2d:
Gonna do a full wipe, re-download and see what happens today. I'll take those files too and see if that fixes it if it doesn't work.

Cool a Christmas baby! ?

I wasn't sure if there was something in the log you could compare to a non working gps. I'm wondering... I work on pc's and have came across same model pc's having

different hardware (ie.. chipsets, ram, etc).. Does Samsung have different manufacturers using different hardware pieces to build the same spec phones?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I was actually just thinking the samething.. Thank you

And just so I know..

Questions for EVERYONE having GPS related issues!

Clean flash?

Wiped internal?

What recovery?

What did you come from?

What ROM does GPS work on?

Are you out side trying to acquire GPS?

What area do you live in?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Thumprxl are you using GPS toolbox to confirm you are finding/locking with satellites?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbjones59:
Clean flash

Phil's touch recovery

Full wipe for new ROM install

Stock rooted deodexed debloated ROM.

GPS worked on above ROM

Outside

West central Indiana

Gps locks but takes a very long time on GPS status app,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Yes sir... I'm usually locking 15 out of 22 satellites. I turned off mobile data and WiFi and was still getting a lock. We drove 4 hours to the beach a couple weeks ago using Google maps navigation without any problems. Anything you need to figure out why mine is working let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
GPS status pics....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Using GPS toolbox....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Ok.. Need people to respond that don't have GPS working..

"Takes awhile" is different than borken =)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbjones59:
Takes a while, on the order of twenty minutes sometimes, when it does lock it appears to be random. I was just wondering if the others that have broken GPS ever get a lock?

I have had a little success by selecting high accuracy and then back to GPS only.

Just trying to help. I really like the ROM besides this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ace2d:
1st install was from Alliance, factory reset and wipe with philz. GPS worked on Alliance. Tried inside outside and I live in the DC area.

2nd install I did a completely fresh install. Odin to stock, odin'd mj9, got a lock on stock then flashed with philz again and no lock. Outside.

Since that Odin session I've ran two remix KitKat and I just flashed DN3 today and gps works fine.

Crtl+z
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] razortaz18:
Always clean

Always wipe internal

TWRP and Philz

SR Remix or Omni

Any Rom that does not use an international base. GPS works for me on all AOSP ROMs and only TW ROMs based on the i605

Yes, I've tried outside but also know right away inside when GPS status tells me 0/0 fix/sats

Connecticut
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I thought I'd give it another try. Still no go.

Came from: SR Remix KK 4.4.2 TW.

Always worked well.

Philz Recovery

Cleaned to install new rom

Wiped cache

Wiped Dalvik

Formatted System

Wiped SD

Install went well. Drove around Eastern Indianapolis and was never able to lock. I tried borrowing gps.conf from my previous rom. It showed quite a different size than the gps.conf file in this rom so I thought it was probably different. All the other suggested files showed the exact same size as the files in this rom so I didn't bother with them. Still no lock standing outside on my deck. I've replaced the original.

I just took my wife for a walk during which I got a logcat. I hope it worked out right. It's been a long time since I did one. Please let me know if it's ok. I'll try again if not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Disregard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrkelley14:
Having same problem with GPS as others but in my case it doesn't seem to work even if I wait. I'm in the middle of Phoenix AZ. Last Rom I used that worked was L18 's stock rooted ND7 4.4.2. Since I moved to R3ds, nothing. I had trouble with another Note2 that just had low signal strength and could hardly ever fix but this Note2 on this ROM appears to have zero signal strength. Do you need a logcat from me as well? ( even coming from stock rooted ROM to R3ds I wiped everything including internal and used Philz). Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I tried changing the files talked about earlier in the thread yesterday. The first time I tried it afterwards it locked right on. The next time it went right back to no lock whatsoever. That's the reason for my disregard post. In my searching for a solution I've noticed there seem to be problems with gps when using roms for the international GN2 on the I-605. I wish it could get fixed because I really like the features of this rom. But I'm back on SR Remix KK and I'm not touching this one til it's fixed. I had a very frustrating day yesterday trying to find a fix for it. SR KK just works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Sorry been busy guys. Started up again with nursing school...fml.. Anyway Ill try to peak at the other log to see if it gives me any clues.. The two I looked at already, one had it working the other did not. The problem being one person was using GPS Toolbox to lock the other was not.. If I can not find a solution, I will post in another thread that devs help with logs.. Trying guys..:eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I hope I didn't sound like I'm *****ing. I was just trying to offer a little extra info. Thanks L-18. I figured it was something like that. No problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
Those files put me into a boot loop yesterday.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
What file manager did you use to move them? I've seen where ES File Manager can cause a boot loop if you don't set the file system back to r/o. I use Root Explorer but I still make sure about the file system. Or did you change them in the flashable zip for the rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
I used root explorer but I didn't check the file system.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Well this is something I do because of what I read about it. I can't say it's something definite but I do it just in case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaveKnowsAll:
I appreciate you taking your time to deal with these one-off issues. Really going above and beyond. I have been slammed at work and home, and still back on rooted stock 4.4.2, so I haven't had the chance to load 'n log. i will make it a priority this weekend, and try your solution above as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] merashallan:
Is it possible that some roms have libloc_core.so instead of libloc_adapter.so and libloc_ext.so? That is what I have in my stock rooted ND7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I have that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Could be an issue.. Might want to compare libraries on both of the ROMS.. also some other folders..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Guys not sure what to tell you. GPS works for me as well.. So it has to be a hardware related issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] razortaz18:
GPS works great for me on any ROM that is NOT internationally based. Also works great on AOSP ROMs. It's only international based ROMs that my GPS doesn't work on. Does that still lead you to believe it's hardware related?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Yes..BC why would my phone..same phone have working GPS.. Same with fmfkfz and thumpxrl

[Fix] * VZW GPS Libs * Fix GPS on International Roms *
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well here is my two cents on the matter. No two phones are the same and I personally doubt it is bad hardware. Not saying it is not a hardware issue but could be his hardware just does not like those drivers. Also different bootloaders could cause issues or if the phone has been flashed to a different carrier (doubt that is the issue this time).

Now for the users having problems I would suggest comparing the gps drivers and files from a tw rom that gps does work for you. You will most likely find they are different and by swapping them out you will end up with working gps. If you dont know what files you need to look at just look a few posts back and they are listed.

My experience with this rom has been solid with working gps and that is running it on a sprint l900 while I had to change somethings gps drivers were not touched. None of the users of the port had any gps issues that they reported either. This leads me to believe those here with issues either have a different hardware version or some software causing the issue.

If you are one of the few with issues please report your bootloader version and any thing you added to the rom after flashing. Did you use a different kernel than provided with the rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] merashallan:
Just a (probably stupid) question - which radio are you using with your working GPS? Is it ND7 or MJ9?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Ok so I guess I'm done. I wiped everything, installed the rom, installed nothing but GPS Status, scanned outside on my deck for 20 minutes and it never connected. Obviously it doesn't like my hardware. There was mention of Samsung using different chips on some phones. I guess I was one of the unlucky ones. Thanks for your time guys. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Just found something that may shed some light on the hardware issues. Let's take on poll on where your note 2 was manufactured and if your gps is working. They were made in both Korea and China. Maybe they had some components that differ from another. Check under the battery for location.

Mine... Made in China, GPS is working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Mine too. Not working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
I'm China and not working :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Well there went that theory. I just know as long as I've been installing roms and the many devices I've owned no matter the forum is been in... There has always been a split of one's that worked well while others had issues. Ok I'm perplexed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
What bootloaders are yall using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Mine worked with either one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
Nd7

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] m.jude.m:
Been following the no GPS issue the whole time with a few of these Roms.. When I came back to this one I didn't have GPS.. Used Philz.. Switched to the newest TWRP wiped everything and factory reset... Loaded this ROM and out of nowhere had GPS... I'm not saying that's the answer and don't intend it as the answer but just giving people a sliver of hope that gps with this rom isnt impossible... It just doesn't make sense and can't be explained how or why.

Maybe its like the N3BULA S-pen issue from a while back and you just have to keep flashing the ROM until it works... Just a thot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
ND 7.. with no gps issues.. only issue is recently started having hangouts fc...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
What I like about this rom is the black apps and the spen features. Could someone point me to where I can find out how to get these things for myself. It's obvious my phone is NOT going to let me run this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
Sorry if I missed this in the thread. . But I tried flashing the tw launcher 5x4 and 5x5. . From the wanam mod and add on.. Neither 1 worked. . Has anyone got them to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
Thanks for the input. I tried TWRP with full wipe including internal...still no gps for me.

It's fine for me though...no a huge issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
No no and no you are not on ND7... You maybe on ND7 baseband which is your radio.. NOT your bootloader.. If you were on a ND7 bootloader you would be with the others that took the OTA and are now locked down...

So your bootloader would either be VRALJB, VRALL4, or VRAMC3 if I am not mistaken.. It is what ever firmware you took the OTA on and that was still unlockable by CASUAL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] merashallan:
The original question was waht radio everyone was on, although now you have brought up an interesting possibility - maybe the bootloader is significant in this issue? I definitely do not suggest anyone change their bootloaders if they are working and unlocked. :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
That's one of the few issues I'm having. I don't use hangouts so I disabled it.

I am having trouble connecting to data while on a call whether it be on WiFi or 4g. Sometimes it helps to turn off WiFi then back on during the call to get it connected. 4g dues the same thing. After the call the connections are back strong again. I've read that this might be a kitkat problem tho.
