No GPS with weekly 8

Hi,

I never had an issue with all the weekly installations. Always did a dirty flash. Monday evening, after installing weekly 8, GPS did not get a fix although satellites where listed (tried all the options provided by apps like GPS Test etc., also fastened the screws a little bit, some guys mentioned it in various forums). Didn't help. Yesterday evening, I performed a full wipe (incl. data and system), installed weekly 8 from scratch. Still the same problem.

Does anyone have an idea what I could try? If not, I probably need to install the weekly 7 backup and see if it's really a ROM issue :confused:

Thanks!

Try doing one more factory reset. What gapps do u use? I have pa mini modular and also seen this issue after dirty flash from weekly7, after a factory reset it just works.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperBommel:
Hi,

Did you check the MD5 checksum? Might be a corrupt download. Status 7 might also indicate an outdated recovery. Perhaps you might check if you could update it. E. g. TWRP 2.8.5.0 works great.

You could also try a small gapps package http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900. I'm using pico and install every Google app I need via Play Store later on.

umm.. MD5 ??

ill see what version of CWM im using in a bit...

ok the phone booted up.. but google play services has stopped.. been getting the popups continuesly...

il flash that.. then reboot.. hopefully all will be sorted.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberL5:
I'm having issues with weekly 8 as well. I used twrp to do a clean wipe and to install weekly 8. When I get to about the wifi setup in cm device setup the OS will crash and when rebooting, the device can't get pass the cm loading animation. If I force restart the device, it seems to start up cm 12 fine but I experience pretty much constant app forecloses. Some apps like file manager and the default sms app work for a bit but other apps like camera and stock browser crash right away. I also can't access the sd card either.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperBommel:
"clean wipe": Did you also wipe /system (advanced wipe)? Perhaps it's worth doing so. (If you wipe /system, you need to flash ROM and GAPPS (in case you are using Google) again.)

After dirty flashing weekly 8 its not possible to disable cyanogenmod account from device administrators. When trying to dobso the device hangs for a minute and then reboots without removing it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberL5:
I've tried again selecting all options in the advance wipe option and still have the exact same behavior occur (crashing on first bootup and app force clossers). I've even tried two different lollipop google apps packages thinking it might be responsible for the app force closers but that didn't really do anything either. Is there a recommended lollipop google app package for this ROM?

The latest CM 11 nightly seemed to work fine when I flashed it to my device if that helps any.
