Yup, same problem.

If i only use gps for location, i never get a fix. If i use wifi and gps, i get a stationary fix about 200 metres from where i am.

I have had the problem since 1.9, and it has been one of the reasons i shied away from using it as daily driver. Its my daily driver now that i have a workaround, and it really is a great rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sauron82:
Does this rom (or Temasek's final CM12.1) support Layers themes? For some reason the 'Search this thread' button isn't showing up.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
It's CMTE, no layers support.

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
For me that doesn't work at all. I have to choose 'Storage: File system and navigate to the SDCard, but then I can't create a folder. Used ES File to create one but then TiBu tells me folder is empty and not writeable. ES File says it IS R/W.

I can however copy my backups over the the new folder then use the Detect option and change to that folder - but then I get the 'Insufficient Storage space' error when I try to backup.

Wondering if it might be to do with Nova or maybe GApps version, but it is puzzling - as stated earlier if I stick with the extSDCard/Android/data/ folder I have no issues at all with TiBu.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mohdfahad47:
Hey there, i tried all the possible ways you suggested me to fix the lag problem. Wakelock detector doesn't show any thing fishy, i tried sd maid, everything seems normal. No Bluetooth or wifi issues, i couldn't find the settings for autostart though:rolleyes: i even flashed v2.4 today but the lags still persist. I wonder if it's a bootloader issue, im on XXUGBOA1. Dont know whats causing this and im irritated by it:mad: i have some other issues as well, some apps like xposed framework and sd maid they look kinda broken, the loading icon they appear double and look wierd while rotating and the ok and cancel popup are not aligned properly. And i have the otg usb storage issue , i can't acces my files using any of the file explorers. File manager says its protected, es file explorer doesn't detect it and solid file explorer shows error. But i can access the files from settings/ storage and usb. Is there a fix for it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BillGoss:
I'm also using Nova. I doubt that it's Gapps related.

I created the TitaniumBackup folder on my external sdcard. Then, in TB I selected DocumentProvider as the storage, then, when prompted to select the storage device in Documents, I chose sdcard1 and then hit Select (without navigating to any folders on the sdcard). If you don't see any storage devices when Documents pops up, you have to select Show storage from the three-dot menu at the top RHS.

I could then, in TB, see the folders on the sdcard and selected the TitaniumBackup folder.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
SD Maid the app options are in App Control - in the Settings icon then 'check' to get list of apps.

The rest, will get back to you - currently trying to resolve my clean flash issue. :D

What do you normally use your phone for? I'm wondering if maybe (just as an example) you might use youtube or FB and after that they sit in the background auto-loading videos or something.

Have you ever seen the lag go away without you doing anything to fix it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mohdfahad47:
Thanks.:)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
When I select Document Provider it FC's.

Hm... there's a possibility - I freeze Documents when i flash a new ROM. I redirct Documents using ES File so never thought I needed it - will try defrost it and see if that changes things...

EDIT: You have tried running a backup without error?

EDIT - nope, defrost Documents didn't work. When I get clean flash to work will try it again BEFORE I freeze anything.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mohdfahad47:
Well i just use basic apps. I use whatsapp, chrome for browsing not much of youtube, i use Facebook from the browser the app is a nightmare for battery and ya i play a lot of 8 ball pool. Ya i guess the lag goes by itself sometimes , mostly i see it when i pull the notification panel and in the recent app menu and sometimes within the apps also when it is left open for long in the background. I was thinking of flashing idle kernel to check maybe the lags are because of the kernel.

V2.5

1. On boot, it will check if you have mobile data, if not it will trigger a modem reboot (ONCE only) and your mobile data will be back (from 3G -> LTE if u select LTE). No more trigger of airplane mode on boot is necessary.

2. InCall auto Proximity Speaker is back. Tested working great. Default disabled.

3. Wakelock Blocker is in for a trial test (again). This feature may NOT be permanent. I will monitor for a week or so.

I can see mine as well, except when I choose Photo as the connection type. Still trying to get around the Setup wizard issue though - I am currently thinking it MIGHT be the ROM Backup app I use to restore my settings, so this time, I am trying not restoring but going through and setting them manually.

(someone above mentioned changes in kernel settings which got me wondering if some of my settings might be triggering the problem)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ichigo200:
Hi appreciate your help, eversince i tried CM 12.1 and 13 im having issues that my mobile indicator H+/3G is not showing when I disable and re-enable it, on a fresh install, my mobile indicator shows when I select my apn but when I disable and re enable it doest show anymore but i have an exclamation point and connection. Im using N900L korean variant. I dont experience this on different roms. Sorry if I didnt use search area since its currently unavailable. Sorry for my bad english.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BillGoss:
I assume you meant restoring your system settings. I gave up doing that a couple of years ago when restoring system settings with TB caused lots of issues. Now, on a clean install, I manually set up my system settings.

I use 440 LCD dpi instead of the default 480 and the dialog boxes and certain elements are not displayed properly or misplaced (the elements do not blend properly). Is this Cyanogenmod issue that needs yet to be fixed?

-----------

Noticed too the new org.cyanogenmod.cnap which I think is the new Cyanogenmod default camera, but it is missing the 9.6MP 16:9 resolution that I am currently using. Don't know if it's an app problem or some configuration device-specific scripts.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Aimbot91:
Are you using stock CM theme?!If you using some other theme maybe its theme issue. Everything is ok here.

Here is what i'm talking about (screen from CameraNext) see attach. Or from xposed installer.

From my understanding, that is a bug with the default theme. I've loaded an alternate from Google Play and can have a custom dpi without issue.

Write Permission on Titanium Backup

1st of all,thanks for this awesome ROM and marvelous stock experience.

But from this ROM I am currently facing problem while using my Titanium Backup.

all of my backups are on my Extra SD Card whenever I try to save new backup using Titanium Backup,there is a problem.

Every time it says "You Can Not Write on This Location(My SD Card)".I am facing this problem on this ROM & never faced it on another ROMs.

Is there any fix for this problem.

Please let me know.

Wakelock blocker

In v2.5. i see a Wakelock blocker added in Temasek spare parts.

Is there some manual so that we know what safely can be blocked?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] evil-doer:
I don't know about him, but I have done those things. The strange part about this is that the GPS works great in "GPS Test". I get a fast and accurate lock in it, but actual apps like Google Maps it doesn't work at all, no matter how long I wait.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] eseregin:
Yeah, strangely during almost all my way Navigation in Google maps were telling me " GPS is lost". Though had no yet time to more config it...

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Gvnc:
I have installed this rom, then I installed one of open gapps packets.

I encountered with those irritating errors like "unfortunately (Google App) has stopped working" nonstop when I rebooted later.

Is there anyone who solve this problem precisely here? Also all of my numbers have gone in the simcard, I added my google account but they didn't come.

I use TPRW 2.8.7.0 and my model number is n9005.

Solution for me: (On TPRW Recovery): 1)Set your memory card as media storage(Don't set as internal. 2)Format Data 3)Install Rom from microsd card 3) wipe system, data, internal storage and cache on Advanced Wipe section (Don't reboot yet) 4)Install Open Gapps for android 6.0 from microsd card 5)Wipe cache and dalvik cache on Advanced Wipe 6)Reboot system.

I hope your problem will solve with this steps. (Google camera has a same problem still)

Also I could import all contacts from sim card, that is grate, I don't know how it was possible. Before that, noone was in there. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] helmking:

Reboot keeps data. But if I shut down, wait, restart, the same "fix"/airplane mode toggle is required to obtain "LTE" data signal. This occurs on both of my T-Mobile SM-N900T note 3.

Thank you Bill, I could install the stock packet of open gapps . I added my solution to my old message.

Furthermore I could import all contacts from simcard.

I don't understand why, maybe you can explain briefly. Noone was in telephone directory after I installed(with format) Temasek 2.5. Actually, my all numbers stay on my simcard but they don't seem in directory.

Then I clicked three dot and Import/export line > Import from SIM card on Call section. I have waited until the end of search and coming back . After that, all numbers with their IDs came into my directory.

So, is it not enough to existed in simcard to see them in directory? Why should I do import operation while there are already in sim card?:)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Not sure if this might help the GPS issue. In [Settings][Apps][Google Play Services][Permissions] - the Location Perms are Off for me - click the 3 dots for All Permissions and maybe turn on the GPS one and see if that changes how Maps works?

There's also a [Location Settings] if you tap on Location in the first menu.

Hopefully that might help - I'm thinking Maps and GP Services = both Google. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a dependency there that apps like GPS Locker don't have.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BillGoss:
Sorry, I can't help you with this. I stopped storing contacts on my SIM card many years ago. I keep them in Google.

Hm... here's a strange one... In typing up SMS, the dictionary no longer corrects like it used to. I am on AOSP Keyboard and Australian setings. Autocorrect is on. Not only does it NOT provide proper suggestions in the bar just below the text box, it provides nonsense ones. e.g. I typed hrr instead of her - it offered me Gerry, Harri and Be... dafuq?

Everything is On except the 'Block offensive words' - I'm Australian - that would take out half my convos... :D

It USED to be quite good at showing decent choices. Now I have to go back and tap on the mistype and then it pops up a box with choices which sometimes have the right word.

Also, if I type a small i then space, it used to autocorrect to cap I - now it doesn't.

I have used the AOSP keyboard for months now, so now looking for a new one I think - I want symbols on long press AND a separate number row... and of course a decent autocorrect.

Hi :--) I just installed the hlte v2.5 of this rom it went smooth! Everything works fine (Wifi, GPS, Data, SMS, MMS). My device is hlteskt (N900S)

I'm just concerned though, can we use the stock or full version of Open Gapps? Because I sort of need plenty of Google's apps in my daily routine, yeah I could just download them from the Play Store but won't they interfere with the stock apps of this rom? Like the Camera, Messaging, Calendar, Clock, Keyboard, etc. I also noticed that there are two Camera apps (not including the Google Camera).

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BillGoss:
After reading about people having issues with GPS and Maps, I thought I'd check it out. And there's something definitely not working with Maps. It's sad if it gets stuck and at times gets lost.

GPS itself is fine as it works in GPS Status and in Sygic.

I tried different Gapps but they make no difference. Same for kernels.

I also checked out a CM12.1 ROM just in case it's a problem with Google, but CM12.1 works just fine.

I took a logcat which is attached.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] evil-doer:
I'm glad more people are speaking up about this. I hope Temasek himself will chime in about this issue at some point. I haven't seen him confirm it yet. It seems to happen in every app that uses the Google Maps API.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] temasek:
I know of it.

For myself to get a more accurate reading, I have to first open up GPS status then gmap. Troublesome.
