[MENTION=254938]xrayA4T[/MENTION]: i'm impressed. tile roof+ no-agps (if i understood it correctly & i don't know how old your a-gps data is) and still 3m/10ft> thumbs up! try that with a good garmin unit...then again my experience was with a concrete roof and a dedicated device.

if i remember rigth (not my intention to contradict you since i'd have to do some digging/reading, the agps is not only for fast fix). the reason being, that i returned the devices often till i had a unit with proper accuracy (btw, had also often a problem with the red dot on the cam> until note3!). during that trial and error time i tried it w/ and w/o a-gps & it resulted not only in a faster fix on cold starts but in better accuracy. but still on rare occasions a good value of around 5m/16ft. nothing constant and nothing you could rely on. in the sake of unbiased testing i deleted the a-gps each time. it'd be interesting to know what your experience is with the note4 in a different country /continent and w/o a-gps (no roaming charges) and offline navigation. i''m tired of paying these roaming charges so often and that's why i'm so keen on knowing how good the note4 performs in that matter. besides, when you're out in the open you sometimes don't have cell coverage.

joburg faster than london? the reason being higher density in the population/building reflection? or do you mean satellite path or azimuth?

I used it quite a bit driving around today, seemed absolutely fine... cloudy weather in the UK.

One thing that annoys me no end is when you press "Navigate" up comes a message to choose Accurate Location method, and then you still have to go to the frigging settings, choose it manually, then quit out of that to find navigation again. Try that when driving... not much fun. Pressing "Navigate" should do all that for you... duh!

GPS Note3 vs Note4

Today, I had the chance to test GPS on both the Note 3 and the Note 4 next to each other. The result: same field strength for all satellites, same accuracy. I did the same recently with the Note 2 and the Note 3: Note 2 significantly better.

Notes:

- one needs to watch the reception for ten minutes or more. Reception can vary when only moving the antenna a bit

- Note 2 and Note 4 had Samsung standard software

- Note 3 rooted with x-Note build 16

- Software used to test: inViu GPS

I rooted the Note 3 in hope that the GPS gets better. It became more reliable, but antenna or chipset seem to be the same in Note 4.

Looking forward to hear what others find out :)

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedmond:
Just curious: how would root improve GPS?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenorth:
[MENTION=6120299]Bee239[/MENTION]: as you stated, one has to wait 10minutes to see if the accuracy persists. while sending my note3, they somehow tweeked the sensivity, but that stayed only the first 5 to 10 minutes and then it went unaccurate again. when you say reliable after rooting, do you mean faster fix or better accuracy?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bee239:
Frankly, I don't know enough about the internas of the device to have an accurate answer ;) I read a lot of posts in all kinds of forums- some suggested that screws need to be tightened, others that the telecom company would provide a fix.

So, I disassembled my Note 3 to see if there is any hardware issue. I didn't find any, also no problem with electrical contacts to the antenna. Then, I researched about the chipsets used but didn't find information that would help to understand why the Note 3 was so much worse than the Note 2.

Based on the many comments that a software update would improve things, I decided to give it a try. So, the result was that I feel that GPS reception became a bit more reliable. this is hard to say, though, as GPS reception conditions constantly change. I still see that the Note 3 looses a fix in the car, while the Note 2 keeps the fix perfectly.

I only wanted to have that mentioned that I fiddled around with the software. (I'm engineer; we make super-tiny complex diagnostic products, where the firmware controls everything)

So, my simple experiment was to look at the field strength measured by an app, and the accuracy measure and number of satellites.

A Note 3 and 4 next to each other showed the same values, a Note 3 and 2 next to each other show a big difference. I found that quite frustrating, as the most important sensor for me is the GPS, and that didn't improve obviously despite the internet being full of complaints.

But: maybe it did- I hope that others come up and show that the Note 4 is at least as good as the Note 2 so that I can buy the Note 4 ;)

Faster fix or higher accuracy are related, I think. Of course we assume that helpers such as A-GPS work. Without it a cold fix could take 30 minutes, as the satellites transmit their position data only from time to time, and the required signal-to-noise ratio needs to be higher than for the distance measurement streams.

If the sensitivity of device A is lower than device B, maybe due to poor antenna design, poor hardware design or a firmware problem, then device A will take longer for a fix and will loose a fix faster under difficult reception conditions such as in a narrow street between tall houses.

[MENTION=1378455]zenorth[/MENTION] concrete tends to affect GPS more because it is steel reinforced and often creates a Faraday cage.

Not knowing exactly how the gps in the phone is implemented I'm just speculating. I suspect that they are only using the data download part of the aGPS specification. That way I suspect the roaming charges will be minimal.

When I mentioned Joburg vs London I just meant it just helps the gps to know which side of the world you're on.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pimpmark:
I am using the N910c and concur that GPS is not working as well as it should. Under sunny condition with clear sky view, my accuracy is around 16 meters which is bad compared to my previous phone HTC M8. Any other exynos users can share their findings?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duykhang524:
Is there anybody here with videotron's note 4? Because my note can't fix sats i can see 20+ but it won't fix i tried waiting 45min and updated the agps. I even did a factory reset still not working
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenorth:
[MENTION=2139955]duykhang524[/MENTION]: did you try to clear the a-gps before updating? have you tried gps status & gps test?

[MENTION=6120299]Bee239[/MENTION]: try a cold start w/o a-gps. i doubt it's going to take 30min. it never took me 30min. max 5min. of course it depends on the satellite constellation and weather/ionization of the air at any given time. faster fix & accuracy are only related as they share the same data stream. you can get a faster fix and have 5m accuracy for 5min to 10min and then the accuracy drops to 15m-17m. or faster fix without the 5min to 10min accuracy improvement at the beginning. therefore no correlation with my experience but i stand corrected. check xrayA4T's link (msa/msb).

i'm also hoping for good news with note 4's gps. i hoped the exynos version would be better, but the reports are not encouraging. hope to hear from more user experience on both versions here.

btw, on my trusty old note 1, the a-gps is 2years old. cold fix is roughly 15 to 45s after a long flight & landing in some other country. rare exeptions 5min. data off.

My GPS issues started as soon as I odin'ed ANK4. I even went as far as using odin to flash just the baseband and bootloader.

I love the Note series but without reliable GPS, this is a deal breaker. After two generations of the same issues, I am ready to jump ship from Samsung.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinedoc:
I'm having major issues as well on a Tmobile Note 4. Some days it will drop repeadetly, I've had it drop 10+ times in 5 miles, and other days it might only drop 3 or 4 times in 20 miles. I do have GPS status running in multi window and when it drops I can see it has no fix and all the satellites grey out. The drops only last a few seconds although occasionally they drop for half a minute or longer, but not usually.

I had an ATT Note 4 previous to this and it was a bit wonky with dropped GPS, but I didn't have it long enough to really ascertain how bad it was.

Anyone find a cause or solution yet?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krishelnino:
The Note 4 GPS is sh** . Damn, my 2 year old Note 2 performs very well when compared to my Note 4. I bought this T-Mobile Note 4 from Best Buy about 2 weeks ago. It came preinstalled with NK4 (and has H/W Rev 1.1 with a manufacture date of 12/16/2014). I didn't use the GPS for the first few weeks. After coming across these GPS issues threads, I decided to test it out. I was surprised to see that it never gets a lock indoors, i.e a 1 storey building. Outdoors, it works fine but often jumps around. The problem is it sees many satellites, but constatly locks in and locks out of satellites. Intermittently, it loses the lock and then again it gets a lock. Then, I decided to compare with my old Note 2 and found that the N2 works excellent without any issues. Even though the N4 often sees many satellites that the N2, it never maintains a constant lock with even half of them.

I guess I can't even return the phone under warranty beacuse I have rooted the device with a custom recovery installed. It's such a shame though beacuse this phone is amazing and I absolutely love it. Have to put up with this GPS crappy device until the N5 comes around. :(:(:(

I'm on Simplrom. My Note 4's gps used to work very well. But on this ROM it just locks and then reconnects every 10 seconds.

I don't have permission yet to post on the official Simplrom page, so I'm asking anyone who uses ROMS that know why this might be? Everything else works well and I didn't tweak anything too much. No one else on the ROM page has the same problem it seems, although they mention a 'slocation' service for the lite version.

I would really like a fix as I love the rom.

Also to add what smash2bash said lollipop will have that functionality built in with the always listening on certain devices... How usable and what functions have yet to be seen as far as I know.. But could be easier to use and "turn on" for unsupported devices.. Guess just waiting for a Dev to dig and find that out

Pipe dream, what they are trying to say is its so embedded into the frameworks it would be near impossible to port out those functions and on top of that google is trying to implement their own version of those features. BTW I heard googles new "active notifications" equivalent while it works does NOT take advantage of the low power cpu in out moto x's so is much harder on battery.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Nemosfate:
That's different than the touchless control that he's talking about though.. The active notifications/active display is just the screen which actually is pretty nice on LP.. But you're correct about the touchless control not using the low power cores

root, roms, and themes.. oh my!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Smash2Bash:
I mean maybe but devs are gonna be focused on cm12 and you might as well use stock rooted when it comes out. I feel like they might give us the 2014 moto voice.. Don't hold me to that.
