Please don't get mad, of course I had given a big thanks for OP [MENTION=2778454]ykkfive[/MENTION] tenth pages back, and also for you to help sharing this wonderful patch, when I see " 2.AddOn1.1_ReMod By Me " from your PM, I though you have also contributed your efforts too, that's why I have this suggestion .

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] leu6407:
Installed today a stock Rom, thru Odin. With GPS Plus, locked very quick and also INDOOR !

Then rooted, installed back TWRP and restored the nandroid backup of DN4v2....and the capabilities of the GPS remained as in the stock ROM!

Hope this clue will help others...good luck!
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] vincentshjuan:
Hmmmm... maybe something to do with the new bootloader?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] dicksteele:
What model phone do you have? Which stock firmware did you restore? (Doubt it had bootlader....)
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] leu6407:
N 7105 International version, the stock firmware is the last one for Netherlands.

First snapshot of GPS Test Plus is with high accuracy, second is only on GPS internal sensor.

As for the bootloader, look what Android system Info said.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Uzi3L:
What's the best bootloader? Mine is FNE3.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] thexile:
I have tried TopNTP, GPS Status, GPS Test Plus, GPS Locker, none of it has managed to lock my GPS.

I am on N7105, DN4v2, 4.1.2 bootloader and AGNi v4.3.7
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] nifaelmasri:
before you restored your twrp backup, did you do a clean wipe of the phone or just dirty flashed it over the stock rom?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] leu6407:
Full clean in TWRP, go to Advanced options and check first 5 boxes.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] nifaelmasri:
ATTENTION: For people who wanna fix GPS problem

Tried and tested [MENTION=3865715]leu6407[/MENTION] method for fixing the GPS problem as quoted above, and it works flawlessly!!! GPS locks in under 10 seconds without any additional apps really, just tested the GPS signal strength with "GPS Test". Big thanks to this dude for figuring it out!
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Billstrike_vk01:
If that method really works, i dunno why...when you restore a nand backup, in the process, the recovery run in automatic all the wipes...no stock files remains after that...so this doesn't have logic for me...but i'll try

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] dicksteele:
Not to mention with the TWRP wipe he did, it wipes the piss out of everything. Internal storage also.

Only question remains what did the TWRP restore include? /efs /boot /recovery /modem/ /data /cache /system ?????

Or just system?

EDIT: Well I'll be damned. I tried the method last night but did a full nandroid restore, everything listed above and it didn't work.

Tried tonight with just restoring the /system /data/ /boot (kernel) and it worked.

Unfricking believable.

I am using an ATT i317 phone with the MK6 Bootloader using the DN4V2 -N7105 with add-on and the LJ2 modem that comes with the stock 4.1.1

1. I did an ODIN back to 4.1.1 KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user_low_ship.tar using ODIN 3.0.7

2. Rebooted fully into 4.1.1

3. Loaded Google account

4. Installed GPS test . Locked under 10 secs

5. Rebooted to Download Mode

6. Loaded TWRP openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-t0lteatt.img.tar via ODIN.

7. Rebooted to TWRP recovery

8. Restored only boot system data

9. Rebooted into ROM

10. It already had GPS Test and GPS Status installed

11. GPS locked in 24 secs. (FASTEST EVER!)

12. Relocks in under 5 secs after that.

EDIT #2: Because I am a lunatic and can't leave something working I installed the MK6 modem and it slowed locking down again.

I flashed a zip of the LJ2 (original) modem. Same thing slow as hell.

Redoing whole process again.

EDIT #3 Interesting. Not as good success as first time.

EDIT #4 Fourth time working great. Difference was I restored /system and /data. Rebooted, it hung because of 4.1.1 kernel. Pulled battery and flashed Shift 3.9 kernel. GPS locking fast.

I've been through four reboots and it's still works. Locks much quicker with wireless turned on. After initial lock, turning wireless off, still getting less than 5 second locks.

We'll see how Nav works tomorrow.

Sweet. I was afraid it would barf complaining about space. The DN4V2-N7105 was trimmed up some (which is why email was not there) because it would not boot on US phone. ROM was too big. Which I doubt you have but......

Xposed should work. Bounce over to the DN4 thread to see if anyone has had any issues. I've installed it but been messing with the GPS and really have not done anything more than installing the Aircommand Theme Mod.

What settings need to be changed to get rid of gesture FC. I am also getting the FC on call screen and have to click on ok to remove it.

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] vincentshjuan:
I guess it must be something that the new stock rom inserted when you flashed it via Odin, and this something fixed the GPS lock issue....
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] kozmo21:
You can just freeze gestureservice.apk in /system/app using titanium backup, or delete it.

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] kozmo21:
Read back the last page or two. Make a backup of DN4, then flash stock ROM, get GPS lock, then restore the backup of DN4. Not sure if it works for everyone, but it's the best option as of now.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] crutzulee:
Has anyone tried simply flashing a stock rom with TWRP , locking GPS and then restoring their DN4 backup?

Apart from the ODIN step not making sense to me, I'd like to avoid anything drastic with this phone as It's my daily driver and is working crazy stable right now apart from GPS, which come to think of it has kinda worked better the last couple of days...locking after a couple of minutes...
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] dicksteele:
Then you have essentially replaced almost 100% of what you installed with the stock ROM.

---------- Post added at 06:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 AM ----------

I was thinking of trying that but most CWM stock ROM flashes only contain /system, the kernel, and the modem.Which will get overwritten by your restore.

ODIN has to install something else, very little, that does not get overwritten during the TWRP restore of DN4
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] thexile:

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried the another method

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] lucaoldb:
The reason why Odin could restore and fix Gps is very likely related to NV partition.

Custom rom don't allow us to rebuild NV by using the hidden menu, as you can see here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2754957

So, if you flash a stock rom with Odin, you get back a brand new NV partition and maybe you can fix GPS if you do not erase NV data when restoring your backup of Dn4.

Maybe... I am not sure.

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] dicksteele:
That's what I was thinking too. It's probably why mine does not work when I choose the efs and modem from my backup. If I only do the /system /data restore from backup. It's fine.

But I think I'm the only one that has tried it on an ATT i317.

It doesn't explain why flashing the DN4 after a wipe from DN3 with the working GPS doesn't work well. It shouldn't affect anything either.

As much as I flashed and tested on my phone over the past two years I'm amazed this thing even boots.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] ykkfive:
what I can say is, atm, a wipe does affect the gps thing, although I cant tell exactly which files. however, I think I know where they reside and what happened actually after spending hours' for testing

Yes we can Rebuild NV on our note 2 devices. All you have to do is 1) use a file editor,(I use root explorer), go to your efs folder and open your carrier folder. Use text editor to open and change the "Hidden Menu" file from OFF to ON,(capital letters). 2) Reboot phone and open up your dial pad. Now follow the instructions posted here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2754957. The only difference is, once you are at the "Main Menu", Click UMTS and then click Common, NV Rebuild, and finally click Make Back-Up. After you have made a back-up of your NV Items, you can click "Load default NV." Wait a few seconds, and your phone will reboot on its own. I hope this helps!!!

As always every phone is different. I'm going to try the posted way now. I have to break in the 32 GB sdcard I got from Newegg for 10 bucks anyways.

For some reason I lost adb access. Probably some of the DN4 mods from themes and apps I'm been pushing.

I suggest not to touch the nv, at least for now, since it is dangerous and I have not examined the nv files yet but still able to solve it temporary. however, making a nv backup is preferred if possible
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] thereian2:
Yes, you are correct about screwing around with the NV. It is dangerous!!! But it would be better to make a back-up of the NV while on a stock rom with working gps. After reinstall of the DN4 rom, if they still have gps issues, just use the steps posted above and restore the back-up NV created while on stock. It couldn't hurt to try. One could always make a copy of their efs folder for emergencies. Making a copy of the efs folder should be done directly after rooting any phone. Doing so has saved my butt many, many times!!!

Edit: I just gave the idea a try, and as you can see by my pic above, gps is working as good as day 1.

I have the att i317 model and my NV back-up is from a stock 4.4.2 rom with the ne5 bootloader. I am running the DN4v2 rom and my gps locks in 5 seconds. The first lock will take about 30 seconds after rebuilding your NV, but after the first lock, it will lock in seconds afterwards.

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] lucaoldb:
I am glad it works. I have temporarily moved to a lollipop rom, so I haven't yet tried the fix. I had never thought of rebuilding Nv data directly from a custom rom, but it's much better than flashing a stock rom via Odin. Thanks for the info:)
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] leu6407:
Wich sequence to use for dialpad?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] thereian2:
While on stock Rom

1) Open Phone, go to the dialer.

2) Enter *#197328640# to enter the service mode. You will land at "DEBUG SCREEN"

3) Hit the menu key,(the three dots located in the upper right corner of your screen), select "Key Input" and in the Input Value box, enter Q (capital letter) and hit OK

4) Hit the menu key again, select "Key Input", and in the Input value box, enter 0000 (four zeros) and hit OK

5) Wait about 5-10 seconds, your service menu should change to "MAIN MENU"

Once you get to the "Main Menu", click on UMTS,Common,NV Rebuild and make a back-up of your NV. Once you have backed up your NV from stock rom, reinstall DN4 plus the add-on, use the steps above to Restore NV from back-up. Your phone will reboot. Your phone will take a little longer to reboot because it is rebuilding your NV from back-up at this point. This is the best way to do it.

Restored from this backuptool from an old 4.4.2 ROM. Locks up quick like a mad dog, quicker than my ODIN flash back to 4.1.1

This was AFTER a FULL wipe and a TWRP restore of my DN4 backup.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] ykkfive:
from what I found so far, a safer way to have gps fixed is:

1 do a data and system nandroid backup of your current dn4

2 odin flash the system.img or restore a system nandroid backup with gps working

3 let it boot until u see the setup wizard

4 reboot into recovery and restore the backup at point 1
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] thereian2:
Yeah, that should work great. It's basically the same idea. The trick is to odin back to a stock rom with working gps. This will also correct their NV partition if they have flashed a few custom Roms. Once the NV partition is back to normal all they would have to do is go back to their nand back-up of the DN4 rom with only system and data. Doing so should leave their fixed NV alone. You only need to flash the system and data back from DN4 and uncheck the rest of the crap:laugh::laugh::laugh: But it is also a winner to have a back-up of the stock NV just in case you run into this problem with another rom. I also noticed that most users having serious gps issues are flashaholics. They may have flashed another rom that screwed up their NV file. I'm guessing CyanogenMod based roms are the culprit. It would also explain why some users like myself have not had any real gps issues. I've never flashed a CyanogenMod based rom. The only roms i've flashed to this phone have all been stock based.
