[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
Yes, it depends quite unbelievably high on Assisted GPS. Just reboot your phone, and then try to get a lock, you will see it will take a long time, very long time to get a lock. So you just need to go outside under open sky and have a lock, then it will work as long as you don't reboot the phone, even without the help/data of A-GPS. But if you reboot the device again, you need to do that previous step once again.

Don't know why this happens, it's really weird, but well I don't reboot the device much, so it's okay. Still this is the first phone which is behaving like that.

PS: I have tried all the mods previously, GPS fix mod, that NV Rebuild one, and maybe another one too, none of them actually worked for me. Just thought about saying this.

By the way, when you are asking a question, you should ask it in Q&A section, cause that's where you shall ask a question, not here.

Thanks a lot! Sorry about posting here... but I need to know if Samsung Galaxy Note III has a phisical GPS hardware, and, even late, if it has to work without internet ... people who has tried to repair it, told me that it doesn't have one ¿?

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
1) The GPS-lock is MUCH, MUCH faster with Assisted-GPS, which on my Note 3 seems to require a CELLULAR DATA CONNECTION (WiFi is not the same).

2) Without A-GPS you need to be outdoor (ideally NOT between tall buildings or metal structures) and you might need to wait as much as 10 minutes for the very first GPS lock.

Use the free "GPS Test" program from the play store to see how the details are - there is even a command to reset AGPS data in case that might improve things).

Oh, and QUESTIONS GO IN THE Q/A FORUM!!!

In the picture I'm attaching you can see what is happening to me:

http://s2.subirimagenes.com/fotos/9178330gps1.jpg

As you can see, after 20 minutes at a place open to sky, with data connection active (H+) and with gps activated, and after cleaning AGPS and reloading AGPS, the GPS Test app shows some satelites (with low numbers) with no signal, and a few ones (with higher numbers) with a little bit of signal (not more than 14) in orange (not enough).

GPS notification icon and message ("waiting gps") is always blinking.

[IMG="GPS"]http://s2.subirimagenes.com/fotos/9178330gps1.jpg[/IMG]

is it a GPS Antenna issue?

Or is it a GPS software configuration (something like another region config. etc.)?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Obviously Note 3 has GPS hardware, with A-GPS. And even it has GLONASS (Russian GPS).

To answer to your question, Internet will help to speed up the fixing progress (by downloading a small amount of A-GPS data), but Internet is optional and not mandatory.

If you use an online maps (e.g Google Maps), of course you need Internet connection to display map data.

If you use an offline map (e.g Sygic) you dont need the Internet connection.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
Dude if under open sky your phone is taking up to 20 minutes then there is seriously something wrong with it. Regardless of data being on of off, under open sky a phone of Note 3's calibre should never take more than 2-3 minutes. That's simply awful dude.

But still just do a fresh install of the ROM (unless you are already on a cleanly installed ROM) and make sure the gps.conf file has servers supported for your location (continent I mean). If not then download Faster Fix from Play and change region accordingly and give it a try.

If all above fails and phone still takes any more than 5-6 minutes to get a lock under open sky, then service centre should be your only option.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
I would say GPS antenna (or more likely the connector going from the antenna to the motherboard) - even indoor I easily get 3-4 satellites which are above 20 (yellow) in SNR.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabezt:
I've to be root in order to run Faster Fix... and I think I've to 'break' the warrantie to be root and I will get 0x01 knox so I will not be able to sent it to Samsung oficial service center... Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
Damn this KNOX and Samsung's horrible warranty policy. At least here in my place the nearest service centre is run by some fools and KNOX on or off, they don't even know how to check, or whether should they :laugh: And I hope as long as I stay with Samsung these intelligent people don't get fired :p However for every phone they do ask before taking the phone whether the user has rooted it or not, but you just need to say one thing, what? What is root? What are you talking about?

[Nexus 6  General] NextNexus:
So I just got the Nexus 6 on Thursday and have been using it for the past 4 days. I have everything set up the way I like it but I find the performance to be pretty sub-par. I'm coming from the HTC One M8 which was a buttery smooth device so that's what I'm comparing it to. So far, I find basic tasks to be slower and less smooth that the M8...Basic things like swiping left to the Google Now page have severe stutter and opening the app switcher has significant lag. Also, the battery seems to be much weaker than the M8. Yesterday I took the N6 off the charger at 8 am and had to recharge it TWICE just to get through the day (granted, this was a heavy usage and screen on-time day but I've never had to do that before with the M8).

I've read about encryption slowing down the device significantly but I'm wondering if that would be the cause of some of the issues I'm having. If so, do you people who have decrypted think it's worth it? Any M8 users have similar (or contrary) experiences with the N6 so far? I was really excited to get this device but so far it's been somewhat of a letdown. I'm hoping Google fixes many of these issues in a software update but I know that's wishful thinking on my part.
[Nexus 6  General] PDP///M:
I would have to agree that it has some stutter, especially compared to my Nexus 5 on lollipop. That thing is butter.
[Nexus 6  General] Pilz:
Well its the first build of lolipop for Shamu so I hope Google fixes the bugs and irons out battery issues. I think everyone's battery life will vary but software should be able to fix this considering it has a huge battery.
[Nexus 6  General] hotleadsingerguy:
I actually have the opposite experience. My N5 had a bit of stutter that I don't have on the N6. Also, the battery life is *immensely* better on the N6 than N5 (I don't have an M8 to compare, but I'm looking at probably double what I had on the N5).

Yesterday I unplugged the phone at 12:30 (it was a rough Saturday night) and used it somewhat-heavily throughout the day (3 hours of screen on-time), and it was at 55% when I put it back on the charger at around 11:30pm.
[Nexus 6  General] NextNexus:
I REALLY hope that this is true. With the big deal made about "Project Volta" I was expecting big things from the battery life on this phone. I've been very disappointed so far. As for performance, they should have made encryption optional if that is, in fact, what's killing performance. A top of the line device in 2014 shouldn't have lag when swiping between homescreens....that's just ridiculous IMO.
[Nexus 6  General] Acrono:
It's time to change your launcher. I have zero lag on Nova.
[Nexus 6  General] NextNexus:
Why would Nova, with more animations, be smoother than the stock Google Now Launcher? Unless you have animations disabled? And do you have Google Now on the left most screen or is that disabled? I guess I should also mention I used the Google Now Launcher with my M8 and that had no lag so that shouldn't be the issue.
[Nexus 6  General] dvsk69:
I think it's got to do with the launcher as well. I have Nova and it's super smooth. Unlike the official Google Now launcher that's stuttery.

Battery life is just ok. Probably it will improve after few cycles.
[Nexus 6  General] NextNexus:
I haven't used Nova in a while. Out of curiosity, does Nova include Google Now on the left most screen?
[Nexus 6  General] kingston73:
I'm not sure what you have going or what you are doing with your phone, but I haven't found any of that to be true for mine so far. Granted, I've only had it 2 days now but I've found its as smooth as my n5 with kitkat, and battery has been better than the n5. I've never had the m8 so I don't know much about it, I know in tests it generally won most if not all the battery life tests so it's a high standard. I currently have 2 hours 20 mins of screen on time with 43% left, that's with gmail, Fit, calendar, chrome, music, and photos all synced. Also have dropbox set to auto upload pictures, and I have always on OK Google. Screen is set at about 75% brightness.

All I can say is read the battery life thread and make your decision.
[Nexus 6  General] NextNexus:
If I could get 5+ hrs of screen on time I would be satisfied but I'm not getting anywhere close to that. I have the following services syncing:

2 Google accounts and their associated services

Chrome

Photos

Facebook

Dropbox (auto photo upload)

Fenix (for Twitter)

Press (RSS reader)

Weather app

That's really it.
[Nexus 6  General] bigkevbosky:
Whatever. Go use an LG G3 for a few months, and then tell me about how the Nexus 6 "stutters".
[Nexus 6  General] skw5115:
I'm easily getting 5 hours SOT and around 18 hours overall with my N6. I am able to get this consistently. I also don't experience any stuttering. I have encryption disabled though.
[Nexus 6  General] NextNexus:
Did you try the device before disabling encryption? Wondering if you could comment about the difference.
[Nexus 6  General] mountainman15:
I came from the M8 as well and while I do notice the occasional stutter on the N6, the overall experience is still awesome. I spent some time with the M8 again yesterday to help my wife set it up and I don't miss it at all.

In regards to the battery, the N6 has been right on par with the M8 in my experience. I got through a day and half with a little over 4 hours of SOT this weekend. I don't know what you're doing that requires you to charge it twice a day, but something's not right.
[Nexus 6  General] bigkevbosky:
He's probably got it at max brightness non stop while gaming or streaming videos. People always push their phones so hard and then whine when they don't get 12+ hours of SOT.
[Nexus 6  General] NextNexus:
I don't game on my phone. Ever. I watch the occasional YouTube video but not more than 15 mins. And my brightness is always around 50% with adaptive brightness turned on. Pretty much the opposite of everything you just said and if that were the case I'd be smart enough not to question the battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
I think the stuttery stuff you're seeing is Lollipop rather than a particular phone. I felt the same way when my Nexus 5 got updated. I think all the pointless animations Google is adding causes what appears to be stutter. When I compared my N5 to the N6 both phones act the same though the Nexus 5 performs every action a split second faster than even an un-encrypted Nexus 6. I think that's because of the huge screen resolution on the Nexus 6. Both phones seem equal in terms of smoothness or rather lack of smoothness.

I have used the Nexus 6 encrypted and un-encrypted and noticed no difference. I left it off just in case there is a difference that I am not perceiving and may benefit me in some situation.

As for battery life my Nexus 6 gets twice as much screen on time as my Nexus 5 (Nexus 5 screen time went down with Lollipop). I get around 4.5-5 hours SOT now and the Nexus 5 on Lollipop was hitting about 2.5 after the Lollipop update. My brightness is 3/4 of the way up on Adaptive with the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] NextNexus:
I think Google turned Project Butter into Project Stutter :D
[Nexus 6  General] skw5115:
No I didn't. First thing I did when I got it was disable encryption and root it.
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] Rondo777:
Im not a developer but have a suggestion for those of you who are. Im sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.

I love using the Edge Panel but find it frustrating that it turns off so quickly, especially when the phone is locked. Forcing you to do the vertical edge swipe to bring it back up.

It would be great if you could set the delay of it turning off, even the option to keep it on indefinitely, possibly dim after a period, similar to night clock.
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] larollin:
Go to edge panel in settings. Look for information stream and at the top it lets you set the time out. Pic attached. There is also a night clock option that allows you to set a time frame when the edge panel will keep the time,date and weather displayed.
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] Rondo777:
Thank you, I had missed that time out setting. now if only it could be made to stay on longer (hours) and set a time for it to dim similar to what the night clock does.
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] invisiblesense:
That's interesting, I don't have the screen timeout option on my information stream page.
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] larollin:
Who is your provider? I'm with Tmobile. If you don't have the option contact Samsung support and ask why.
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] invisiblesense:
I have the Korean model of GN Edge. Mine doesn't have the issue of timing out but it would've been nice to have this option.

[Note Edge Themes and Apps] q426669:
Just set night clock on all day?
[Note Edge Themes and Apps] TijnS78:
That would be cool, if only Samsung would let you..

I can only display the night clock 12 hours of the day. I asked Samsung why only 12 hours, they come back with that it is a night clock. My next question was: Ifso, then why can i turn on the night clock 12 hours of the day, whenever i want ? I can set it up to display the night clock from 9pm till 9am, but also from 9am to 9pm ??

What's up with that ? If it is a night clock, why can i turn it on during the day ? Why can't i just turn it on all day long ??

I know that there are panels you can download, but i dont want that. I want the samsung night clock to display 24 hours a day !

[Note Edge Themes and Apps] simonhriech:
I don't think it should matter if u live in korea or not if you have a note edge it should give you the option to extend the lock screen time from information stream unfortunately I don't have that option I called Samsung help and they will bring it up to the developer and hopefully we can get software update to have that option I think it's flaw and it should have been there in the first place can anyone help I only get 5 seconds to swip otherwise the cell goes to sleep the flaw is if you have designed a panel also in express me it only displays for 5 sec help

[Nexus 6  General] rpolito73:
It is supposed to be in early 2015. I think Tmo got commitment from Google too late but good news is, it will have wifi calling in future. Just not out of the box.

[Nexus 6  General] hanano17:
It's subjective whether its useful or not. Regardless, its bloat even if everyone loved the app. And yes, as I said it was uninstallable. Not sure why mine had it installed and someone else's didn't, but either way its not a big a deal. It's not like it had all their apps, or a tramp stamp on the back lol
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:

[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
My point being is that if anyone is to complain about bloat ware it should be aimed at the unnecessary Google applications like Google fit, earth, movies, books, etc.

I personally find my account to be helpful since it tracks the data usage for the month so it's very helpful.

And I agree, t mobile is pretty cool for not being too intrusive with the device. And it included a nano sim card in the tray already.

I also reset the tablet to its factory settings through the recovery mode, but it is still getting stuck on the "JXD" screen. :crying:

Also, before I encountered this particular problem, I rooted the tablet, and was installing several games and apps. I restarted the tablet after rooting it, and had no problems; it is only after I installed some games that I encountered this problem.
