This may sound silly but when I flash a new rom I'll set gps to device only, go stand OUTSIDE, open gps status app and while holding phone in hand make a sideways eight/infinity pattern for about ten seconds and will get an instant lock, and will get very fast locks from then on... Started doing this after a golf gps app I used recommended it for increased accuracy on the course...
[Verizon LG G2] techguy1216:
I have never tried that.

I always get a lock. But it just sometimes takes 10 minutes or more. I honestly don't use GPS that often anyways, so I've never cared all that much. But thanks for the tip.

It doesn't sound silly to me because I've heard of that before. I have tried doing figure 8's with it indoors, but doesn't usually help. Outdoors would look silly for me cuz I usually flash my ROMs late at night... But another good idea to help with those issues.
[Verizon LG G2] ThatKidDrew:
I've never had to do that in the year and a half I've owned the phone but I'll probably try it when I flash my stock backup and then flash flash the backup of this

[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Some people have said it helped them. Amazingly, I found out the other day while visiting Pittsburgh that indeed my GPS does work, its just more or less challenged.

Literally that's the first time since 2013 that GPS has worked on my phone.

If you read around, even a small amount that I do, GPS and charging is being talked about nonstop with this device.

There's no rhyme or reason to it. One person has it work perfectly, one person can't get it to work on stock, one works on only 4.2 kernel based aosp, one person can only have his phone pointing up, one person can only get it to work on the second Thursday of every month while spinning clockwise while rubbing his stomach counter clockwise three times, ect.... You get the point.

There's too many variables with this device with the whole cluster that flashing ROMs on this thing became, not to mention chipsets and antennas used, I doubt anyone will ever find a true fix, I mean its been two years already.

There's a slew of things you can try, that people have said either fixed or helped their issues, that being one of them.

Anything is worth a shot.

[MENTION=5559940]Lawlrus[/MENTION] hey have u played around wit the kernal n synapse?
[Verizon LG G2] shaolinsoldier:
I did clean install, I also flashed a stock based rom to be on safe side with gps lock and sensors. first thing i did was install google maps, I get a lock no problem but does not seem to have any navigation, it just shows me the route... any ideas? also sending mms is very slow.
[Verizon LG G2] fordmanck:
Mine seems like it won't navigate either. It needs time to lock and it eventually gives me a route and sticks.
[Verizon LG G2] shaolinsoldier:
yeah when i click on the route i want it shows me route preview but no navigation

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

just loaded up my back up and maps is same version number, 9.8.1, when i have a route ready to go i have a blue button with arrow pointed up, navigation is working. When I install new rom the blue button has 3 arrows pointed to the right, and it will only give me route preview, no navigation..
[Verizon LG G2] KoolBurnX8:
Great ROM, its just too bad I can't get GPS to work for the life of me. I've tried The trick where I flashed stock 39a, GPS locked it, backed up sensors and efs, then restored this ROM, and restored sensors and efs but I still can't use apps like map quest. I know there's an issue with GPS on a few Roms,but I thought it was just faulty indications on the status bar. Anyone else having trouble with GPS like I am?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
I use trickster with the donate version myself, as synapse doesn't seem to stick for me half the time.

Pic related is all I mess with, even if I end up with a custom kernel, the only other thing I typically touch is voltage
[Verizon LG G2] jfletch86:
i must of got lucky, gps worked off bat

EDIT: i take that back if i load up the gps locker, it says my gps is turned off. but my weather widget knows where im at n Google maps will work precisely. whats up wit that?
[Verizon LG G2] ThatKidDrew:
Its google using WiFi networks and your data connection I'm pretty sure to locate you so google and weather will know but any actual test of gps won't know. If you switch location to device only, you won't pop up on maps either

yeah i forgot bout that part. i cant use this then.
[Verizon LG G2] ars0n:
I def do not have this problem on 5.0.2...

I can switch between device only and high acc. However, if I use High accuracy and I am driving around between towers the phone will reboot randomly. If I use device only, I show up on maps, nav, etc... and no reboots.. google now also works fine..

glad I havent flashed it yet then =(..
[Verizon LG G2] jfletch86:
yeah i started havn problems wit data today, as well. jus restored tem 5.0.2 feels good to b back honestly. prolly goin to delete the post i made before i started discovering alot of problems so i dont mislead anyone. resource wise i still like it tho, i always had more free ram available, it was faster n no memory leak.
[Verizon LG G2] ars0n:
after doing the google services tweaks, and 2 or 3 small kernel changes, 5.0.2 is bar far the best rom i have ever had on my lg g2.

Screen Flickers at higher brightness

I don't know what I did, but with this ROM my screen flickers (not extremely obvious) particularly when the screen brightness is 50% or greater. Also, after sliding my screen brightness slider past 50% the screen doesn't appear to be getting brighter.

[Verizon LG G2] heleos:
I use banks gapps and had the same thing happen this morning, ended up using titanium backup to delete data on play services app and all seems good now, haven't had a force close in 7 hours
[Verizon LG G2] ithrewitontheground:
Searched through the thread and in April it didn't work, no update since then. I'd like to know this as well as the rom I'm currently on doesn't support google wallet.
[Verizon LG G2] heleos:
Force closes came back after a random reboot, I cleared data again and it temporarily solved the problem
[Verizon LG G2] techguy1216:
I am running the 5.0.2 build with whatever gapps were recommended at the time, since the new ones are for 5.1 and I didn't think about pulling the newest 5.0 off the server... (I had it all downloaded already cuz I've used it before so I just used that). Anyway, I'm having the same issues... It does seem as though clearing the app data for that fixes it temporarily. But I'm curious, how can you change your gapps package to like a newer version, do you have to wipe and flash the new one when you flash the ROM? Or is there another way? The tibu wipe data thing fixes it well enough for now, but I didn't know if something more long term was possible yet easy, or if I should just wait for Amit to clear up the 5.1 bugs and then flash all that when its good. Any input from anyone? TIA
[Verizon LG G2] heleos:
I could be mistaken, but I thought part of the gapps script removed the old install before it flashed the new packages. I am running the latest release with the 5.1 gapps, so maybe it could be a Google play services issue and not a rom issue?
[Verizon LG G2] techguy1216:
If that's the case I could try to update to the latest 5.0 from the dev server, but I'm thinking it wouldn't help much if the issue is still persistent in 5.1 too... I remember this being a problem when I ran this ROM before, which is why I went back to stock, but the stock didn't have this issue. But I forgot until it was all set up with all my apps and everything.... (I never restore apps, I just batch DL them from play store and set them all up individually... Pain the ass, but far less likely to carry problems over from prev installs...) For the gapps pkg I'm using, the file name is "Slim_normal_gapps.BETA.5.0.x.build.0.x-20150401".
[Verizon LG G2] guimo:
I'm running into the same problem as Dri94. I followed the steps you suggested 5 times, just to make sure I didn't do it wrong. Problem still perists. Any other suggestions?

Thank You
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Check the md5 on both the rom and gapps you downloaded. I use winMd5Sum from nullriver on my pc for md5 confirmation.

Tap to pay doesn't work as of the build from the 18th of May. Yoinx noticed the NFC commits missing and mentioned it to JackpotClavin, so If JackpotClavin has updated his repo's and amit_sen has updated from those then its possible that it will work in the next release. As of the beginning of this week when I jumped thru alot of roms, Yoinx's PAC was the only one with tap to pay functioning... but again, that should change very soon.
[Verizon LG G2] Tim1928:
Had to revert back to stock because of the google play services error. I tried different gapps slimlp gapps updates 5\26 still have the error. Banks gapps removes google play services. This sucks cause this ROM is the best i have used so far really liked it.
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Did you by any chance include the NFC commit? - https://github.com/lg-devs/android_...mmit/8d03b72c5310360cb80fd2c6d312d0c4ad2f9693

It doesn't look like JPC has updated his github with it yet, and that seems to be all that was missing for tap to pay to work.

Why not flash the gapps banks put out today?
[Verizon LG G2] guimo:
Thanks for the reply. MD5 Checksums have been verified through WinMD5.

I'm Running Team Blackout's VS98039A (5.0.2) as my daily driver.

For this effort I installed XDABBEB's VS98039A Stock firmware, booted and ran all sensors and rotation. Then proceeded to wipe to factory settings and flash this ROM. I'm also using TWRP 2.8.6.1

l'll probably try again tonight, but its not looking good. I'm running out of ideas...
[Verizon LG G2] ars0n:
banks incorporates the fix into his gapps?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Honestly? I'm not sure. But his newest batch credited T Kruzze, and it says t matches the N6 factory image. Worth a shot no?

I've heard his new gapps fix all the fc bull**** people have been reporting. Maybe it fixes that as well.
[Verizon LG G2] ars0n:
will def try out, thank you!
[Verizon LG G2] TheUnladenSwallow:
TK's new gapps package does indeed use brand new setup files from the n6, you'll notice the difference in the initial setup menu. I decided I'd try and theme a recovery forgetting I'd need to bump it, so after 3 ish hours of trying to get the kdz method to work on 2 different computers with multiple driver versions, I'm about to tot back to 11A >: (
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
It sounds like you've got everything right. The only other thing I can think of (since it wasn't specifically mentioned) is are you using a gapps for 5.1.x, not a gapps for 5.0.x? And you're not flashing a kernel or anything else right? Just rom and gapps?
[Verizon LG G2] stangdriverdoug:
Im getting Google play services errors as well. I downloaded and flashed The rom and gapps posted in the op yesterday. Is there a previous version of gapps that will work with 5.1 that I can try?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
My answer five posts ago not good enough?
[Verizon LG G2] stangdriverdoug:
I did see that.... Tried The gapps labeled 5-27 but it was giving me Google play errors still.... Tried a earlier version of gapps from back in March labeled for use with 5.1 but that is giving me errors too.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
It's not actually, still FC's with clean install and latest BaNkS gapps.

Is it really a Google issue, or did CM eff something up again...they(CM) break things quite often in my opinion.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Well, I'm on a cm base currently, and before that I was on xenonhd, and I don't have this Google fc issue some people seem to be reporting.

It'd very possible that it may be something cm did, though seeing how aicp is onna full cm base now. I would assume I would have the issue.

It could be specific apps (ones I don't use) or something else people are installing, but I know at least three or four people that had the issue, and the new banks resolved it

Also, t kuruzze apparently is back. He has a g+ community. T kruzze gapps reborn (or something along those lines) and he has a new XDA thread, that I can dug up if people need it.

Have you tried his new builds?

Constant play services crashing, Gps not working, and camera freezing up. Which gapps have people had success with that help?
[Verizon LG G2] guimo:
Thanks for the reply. Installed it, same issue.

So after much deliberation, cleaned out my files and pics from the phone and went full nuclear on it (complete erase). Apparently there is a problem with the storage, after deleting everything and trying to format the data partition I'm getting errors. In any case, after full nuclear, it worked. I'm getting some of the issues that people have mentioned here, (Play Services force closure for example), tried clearing the cache and the dalvik but no improvement.

For some reason SuperSu doesn't want to update the binary so technically I don't have root... (cant add apps to SuperSU) I will test drive for a few days, see if I can overcome some of the issues and go from there.

Thanks for the help everybody!
[Verizon LG G2] techguy1216:
For root, as has been mentioned at least 10 times already, go to Settings > Dev Options > Root Access....

For Play Services FC's, after doing above steps for root, download Titanium Backup, and go to Menu > Overview of App Storage > Click on Google Play Services > Wipe Data. This has also been mentioned previously....
[Verizon LG G2] guimo:
Thanks for the post.

What makes you think I haven't tried those things already? My post was in the form of a statement, not a question . I am aware of the solutions posted in this thread. As I mentioned before, my phone is having issues with the internal memory an d that might be related. Anyway thanks for the shortcut to the solution, now I don't have to go through the thread to find it.

If SuperSU binaries won't update, that sounds like you're just installing it from the play store.

Exactly my problem. I've tried clean flashing with 3 different sets of 5.1.1 GApps with the same results, and as you said clearing data is just a bandaid. I'm hoping for a solution as this is the first and so far only ROM I get consistent LTE service with my VZN G2 on TMob network.

[Verizon LG G2] ThatKidDrew:
Like reflashing it over itself? I can back up and try
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Yes, exactly. I've had this fix several issues in the past with different roms. Sometimes even reflashing the bootstack may help. Not saying it will or that it is a cure all but sometimes thinhs can get screwy with flashing or even when restoring when it's downloading 50 apps back to back. You never know. It may help. Keep in mind. You'll need to reflash your Gapps package as well
[Verizon LG G2] ThatKidDrew:
Hmmm alright. Well reflashing the ROM and gapps didn't help with maps and I haven't reflashed viper yet. If I were to reflash the bootstack would I have to wipe anything before or after?
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
No. I've never wiped when reflashing a bootstack. You could wipe cache and dalvik cache but it's not necessary
[Verizon LG G2] ThatKidDrew:
Alright, well it didn't work -_- thank you for all the help though, wish something would work

Edit: reflashing the 39a bootstack somehow broke my sensors as well
[Verizon LG G2] schwem:
Crap. Never had that happen. Well its a good thing you backed up. Now you'll probably need to flash and setup the vs980 39a rom and get your sensors back working, then restore your backup. Sorry man. It worked for me in the past with phantom/strange issues similar to yours so it was just a suggestion. Good thing is, flashing stock always fixes the sensors. Kinda strange how the lollipop bootstack is so finicky. With kitkat bootstacks I never had to flash a stock rom unless something got real f**ky. I would flash cm rom afyer rom, sometimes 3 or 4 in a day and never have sensor or connectivity issues. Not sure what exactly has changed but it's kind of a pain to flash and setup stock rom everytime you wanna run a new rom or update to a rom. I understand that art runtime and everything is different but not sure what exactly causes all these new issues we have if not flashing stock rom beforehand. Maybe someone will figure it out and tweak it.
[Verizon LG G2] ThatKidDrew:
Ya it's really weird. I want to try and flash a different gapps but banks and pa have closed their threads so I have no idea where to get gapps haha. I searched google but I couldn't find much of anything
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
[MENTION=5050757]ThatKidDrew[/MENTION]

Banks didn't close. His gapps are posted on euroskank. He only has 5.1's up right now though.

And the issue is more than likely because of the bootstack. When you flash 12b to 24a, you're only messing with the radio. Its probably because we are flashing bootstacks, some sort of sensor information is getting overwritten.

I don't find it that big of a to take five minutes to boot up a stock ROM before flashing these though.

Then again these builds have seem to have ended most of my flashaholism. If you need 5.0.x banks gapps send me a pm and I can drop box his 2-22 or 3-5 versions.
[Verizon LG G2] jjlyons:
