Honestly, nothing special. I just kept trying to get a lock over and over. Today I was in an open grass area and started getting a lock. From there I began testing navigation a few times until it seemed to stick. The one thing I did do (although I'm not sure it helped) is I opened Maps in a multi window when I got a lock and loaded up a GPS app called GPS Status and Fix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cochibo.gpsstatus

It downloaded some data and everything has seemed fine since then. I tried something similar with another app but that one didn't do anything for me.

You probably just didn't give it enough time to load up for the first time. It does take awhile the first time around. I normally just put my phone down and don't look at it for some time later.

Hey Mega, I want to ask you something which is in a 2 weeks ill be getting a new laptop, since my Mousepad broke. do you have any idea on great laptops that be good for college and multitasking sometimes gaming?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Tbh it sort of depends what your wanting...personally I would reco the surface pro 2 or 3 all day as my sp2 has been a pretty amazing experience...I got the i5 with 8gb ram 256 gb ssd for 650/675 ish brand new...it def flies and windows 10 has been a cool change for Windows ime...but there's quite a few serious laptops with pretty killer specs...as long as your not expecting a custom rig level of gaming I'd reco a surface pro 2 or 3...some of the lenovo touch pads are nice...Asus make great laptops and manufacture like 75% of all pc hw lol...so it really depends on your price point and size vs what hw is available within those confines...which these days there's def more options than ever

Also I gotta say...I'd seriously consider building a custom desktop...for 500 to 700 you could build a pretty decent setup and get a tablet for class...also unless you specifically need windows my note 12.2 has all but replaced my laptop for everything but dev work and building the community/website in html5...just a few things to consider bro that should help you start narrowing down to specific brands and models...i personally avoid dell and hp laptops

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Dharris76:
Kinda off subject, but Mega, do you reco using Daydream on PRV10?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Alienware like razr laptops are in this pointlessly overpriced range...msi has a few of the similar caliber as the other 2....the problem is the price vs performance...I could build my full out amd fx black 4ghz 8 core monster desktop for the same price os cheaper than the average Alienware...and it would put it to shame...msi have a few of the massive laptops that use actual desktop grade hw vs the laptop variant hw but then you run into a huge mini desktop like laptop that runs like an oven and costs a fortune...for serious games like those machines are for I'd go desktop build all day long...imo a laptop over 800 (grand max) is pointless these days because the hw for the price or building a desktop are both so much cheaper than ever

I customized am area 51 for Mt coworker because he didn't believe me about alienware, he spit his drink when I showed the final price, $11,254. I've bought 1 alienware in my life when I was a kid, worse mistake I ever made in my life at that time.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scrappy610:
I second the build your own, especially if you have the room for a desktop. Grab a cheap laptop from Walmart or best buy to use at school. I have two different builds specd on another site, both under 700 and they will totally blow anything away that is bought as a package and will last for a few years. They are of course designed with multitasking/gaming in mind and are better then what you get in an alien ware.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
Now that I've got GPS working, minus a few hiccups in drops during a some navigation, I'm afraid of wiping and upgrading to v10. Lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Great points fellas...imo it simply comes down to power vs price...and in 2015 when most average laptops are the equivalent or better of a 1.5 year old alienware or razr those super expensive laptops just don't make sense to me...Same thing I feel about the 1700 surface pro i7...for games I'd go tab 8.4 Pro for a mobile device and a full monster desktop build

11 grand for a pc lmfao...guess it's true...a sucker is born every day...lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
So I found the code to get my Note 4 into a test mode: *#0*#

The website I found it on said it was to calibrate the compass but it's more than just that. I clicked a button that allowed me to self-test the gyro and other stuff. My compass definitely needed to be calibrated as the little compass in the test menu read a 0 which means my phone needed calibration. Once I rotated my phone on all axis, it vibrated and screen turned green then eventually it read as a 3 meaning it was calibrated. I noticed early on that my phone was not pointing in the correct direction at all times on the map. Don't know if this would actually affect GPS but it's good to know I needed to calibrate. For anyone who's wondering, this is the website with the instructions: SolveMix
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Ok great man...that makes sense...if your phone is pinging back a wrong location and direction that would make sense with the screen shot you posted

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
After I did the calibration, my gps lock came back a bit quicker. Going to re-check once I load up v10 and see if something went awry. I hope this is the key to my situation and hopefully it helps others.

Could we please get an updated link for step 3 - twrp?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
You can download Flashify to grab a copy of the latest TWRP. From there you can copy it to your ext SD for safe keeping. You can also subscribe to Chainfire's thread [SM-N910*] CF-Auto-Root to grab a copy of his files and keep on your ext SD.

Looks like the TWRP team has a new website if you prefer a direct download.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
Speaking of xposed, we finally got some traction in terms of a discussion on xposed performance in arter97's thread. Based on screenshots posted there, it seems like only quadrant shows a big hit in performance (as we already knew). The twist -- for me at least -- is that it's not only antutu that shows a much smaller hit on performance, but also Geekbench and 3dMark.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=62717678

I just tried Vellamo benchmark too and got similar results (i.e. small hit). Seeing as multiple benchmarks (on both single and multi-core tests) show a marginal hit on performance, quadrant now seems like the outlier here. Thoughts? :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Sure bro.. If you think about it it makes sense... it's almost entirely the CPU that's getting hit...but most of the benchmarks utilize a large majority and are sometimes comprised of only 3d gpu based rendering scores... so if the benchmark score itself is comprised of the 3d rendering score or heavily gpu based rather than the hardware fw and totality of the system standard score then you'll get different outcomes based on the effect...meaning if only a quarter of the test score is cpu based then a drop in that much smaller piece of the pie would have a far less drastic change I'm the weighted total overall...but most of the time you see an individual cpu drop... So it's the way the individual benchmark runs and tests the parameters of the hardware and software and base firmware...outliar sure to the degree it's impacted...although it's an android standard and we're not aarch64 bit so it's not a compatibility issue... when there's a drop to more or less a degree in pretty much all of them it's clear there's serious problems with xposed on lp...

There was a random post in my Firekat n3 thread over the weekend...dude was on lp on n3 and xposed apparently crushed his note and it pulled a no boot...so it's across the board unfortunately

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
Great explanation, thanks Mega. Makes sense and explains the benchmark results that were being posted in arter97's thread. I know xposed is nerfing setups but figured other benchmarks would show antutu to be the exception. When the opposite was true I wasn't sure what to think lol. Much appreciated :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Tbh the real biggest issue and how I even discovered it wasn't benchmark scores at all... I just happen to use quadrant because I have preferred it for a long time...its more precise imo than antutu and they dont arbitrarily alter their scale whenever lol...i probably have 500 screenshots from my various builds over the years and have established pretty precise standards for the hardware relative to my roms and where we are today... I just have don't happen to use the other benchmarks... so when I discovered the issues with xposed it was because of the feel of my setup... I know it so well and have it so perfected once I rebooted with xposed it was half the speed and laggy and just a mess man... without having any mods even installed... that's when I knew something was up and started running the benchmarks to begin with mine was solely real world thing verified by quadrant

Gregma probably has the most clear clean post about it...pre xposed scores...with xposed cut in half or more....post xposed using the new v7 uninstall put him back to full speed...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sefrcoko:
Totally agree. Was trying to get a critical mass in arter97's thread so he could maybe look into the performance issue more seriously, but so many people in that thread are skeptical since "they don't see any performance issue" lol. I love when people suddenly doubt tests like quadrant that were designed to eliminate user bias, simply to suit their pre-conceived notions that xposed is working "fine" :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Thee_illuminati:
How do we know that xposed isn't just messing with those apps* (quadrants, ect) but running the same?

I only say this because I've tried with and without xposed over and over and over and so far don't really notice a difference in performance.

I mean I'm running without xposed at the moment and still trying to "feel" the difference and yet I haven't. Not saying you are wrong at all or anything, no disrepect of any kind but....if it's 60% decreased, would it be noticeable for sure? It's just weird that as soon as you install xposed apk, not even frameworks....if goes from being 28k or so to 13k. No modules or anything at all, just it's apk alone. I'm just wondering as to how an apk itself can cause so much when it's not even installed as a system app but only a user app? I didn't even have to run the app but just installing it alone. Idk I'm just thinking out loud.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Uhh I just said I only even tested quadrant cuz my setup was so much slower lol...esp impacting my camera speed to sd which was the deal breaker as normally it's instant for me

Right... it goes from bragging how fast pop rocks is running and look at this quadrant or look at this antutu score... then wait we can't take this for real this can't be accurate lol

Or its only accurate when pr is giving the highest quadrant scores I've ever seen...but not when xposed is installed/Uninstalled restores full speed lol idk

Added they know there's problems because there's something mentioned in the op about the speed and performance drop being fixed for v7... even though the same issues persist so it's clearly something going on that it's wrecking the system and they are aware of it
