[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] swukjay:
Here is a fix for the crappy slow useless GPS on the ascend mate running 4.2.2 this may work on other Roms too!

you will need https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&hl=en_GB

1. Download the app topnt from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2198319 and select settings as follows global -derek gordon- generic- google select install but do not reboot!

2 . open keypad dialler and dial *#*#2846579159#*#* then select 6 background setting, then 7 agps setting, then as follows

LOCATION METHOD= MOBILE STATION BASED

NETWORK USED= ENABLE A-GPS FOR LOCAL NETWORK

DATA CONNECTION .. DONT CHANGE THIS SETTING

SERVICE ADDRESS supl.google.com

service port 7275

Then exit and reboot and enjoy :) I get a fix in less than 8 seconds now!

MS-assisted mode

Assistance data sent to the mobile for every fix; the only hybrid mode

Has the greatest GPS sensitivity

Supports fall-back, backup position solution types, such as AFLT, thus maximum yield

A data call is needed for each fix

Fix computed by the PDE server

Best suited to applications requiring less frequent fixes, or maximum sensitivity:

Slower tracking applications

Fixes required in challenging locations

MS-based mode

Assistance data sent to the mobile periodically on an as-needed basis

Mobile measures GPS pseudoranges and makes position calculation

Uses only GPS satellites

Shortest latency between fixes enables rapid repetitive fixes for tracking and navigation

Only needs occasional data calls

Fix computed by the handset with occasional PDE server assistance

Best suited to handset-resident applications, particularly those requiring lots of fixes

Turn-by-turn navigation

Fast tracking applications/geofencing

Standalone or autonomous mode

No assistance data at all

Mobile performs all operations with no assistance at all

Increased Time to Fix and battery consumption

Diminished yield and accuracy

No data calls needed

Fix computed by the handset only

Best when out of wireless network coverage

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] blair.sadewitz:
I preemptively apologize if someone already posted on this. ;)

This is ludicrously bad. If only Samsung cared so little about the bootloader ...

https://www.nowsecure.com/blog/2015/06/16/remote-code-execution-as-system-user-on-samsung-phones/

The only workaround requires--you guessed it--rooting the phone. We should really write Verizon and Samsung a scathing group appeal. Needless to say, I'm done with Verizon after the contract is up.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] KennyG123:
The carriers (Samsung's customer) control the locked bootloader, not Samsung. Samsung would not shoot themselves in the foot and refuse to build the phone to the customers' specifications. And since Verizon and AT&T went for the corporate and military sales, plus the 99.5% who never heard of XDA or could care less about a locked bootloader purchasing what they heard is the most secure phone...our please would make the same wave as dropping a pebble in the ocean. The best that could be done is what you said..choose your next device and carrier based on what you have learned. A lot of us deal with the crappier coverage that Sprint and T-Mobile have to avoid being locked down.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] blair.sadewitz:
Yeah, I suspect you're right. Nevertheless:

http://www.androidcentral.com/it-wi...mericas-top-carriers-heres-what-you-need-know

These guidelines could be [broadly or narrowly] adapted for bootloader unlocking as well. As it stands, I don't even have the option to unlock the bootloader at any time in the future. Do I _never_ own the phone outright, even after I've fulfilled my contractual obligations? This is the frontier beyond which all of the arguments in favor of the practice cannot be sustained.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] KennyG123:
That article is regarding unlocking a phone to use on another carrier...SIM unlocking basically...not bootloader. The security put on the phone is the business of the carriers requesting from the manufacturer..including Verizon blocking access to HTCDev to unlock HTC devices. Owning a phone outright does not give you rights to having the security software removed. But of course if you figure out how to do it, kudos...no one can stop you. Just because you buy and own a satellite box does not give you rights to have it unlocked to give you free PPV or programming. The fact that you can sell the phone to another person proves you own it. But you have more knowledge now when you choose your next phone and carrier.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] blair.sadewitz:
Oops, I had two different articles open in different tabs and somehow melded them together. That sure isn't helping my buzz. ;)

You do have the right to unlock the cable box or dispose of it in any way you wish. It is a basic property right. You do not have the right to employ it to "steal" service, though. Similarly, they cannot stop you if you figure it out because it is your property, and as such your property rights trump their desires--such is my layman's understanding, anyway, heh.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] KennyG123:
Yup...just as you are free to figure out how to unlock the bootloader on your phone...and collect that bounty!!!! $$$$$
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitedavidp:
I have purchased and returned 2 Note 3 phones (one a n900a, the other an n900t) off EBay. The phones were both in very good, used condition. But the GPS on both phones just plain sucked. It never took less than 3 minutes to get a signal lock out of doors and sometimes it just never got one (I gave up after about 10 minutes and refrained from slamming the things into the floor). I have had a Note 1 phone (N7000) for years and in the same circumstances it regularly gets a GPS lock in less than 1 minute, often less than 30 seconds.

Yes, I have read lots of threads on GPS in Note 3. I have tried all the software "fixes" including those that require root. I tried the suggestion to tighten all the little screws under the battery cover. I read about opening the phone and bending the antenna contacts but did not want to do that and risk damaging the phone and my ability to return it.

I like the Note phones and I really want a Note 3 to work for me. I can use the extra screen size, faster CPU, and more RAM. But I also have to have a decent, working GPS. So I am trying to find out if I have just been unlucky with 2 phones one after the other. Or if these phones just have some sort of problem that renders the GPS basically worthless? I can't really imagine that. But I also cannot imagine having 2 phones in a row suffer lousy GPS.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
I would say you are unlucky! I don't know!

I have had an S2, S4 and Note 2 before Note 3, and other than S2 (doesn't count anyway, as it didn't have GLONASS) both S4 and Note 2 worked flawlessly when it was about GPS. Both devices would lock within 30 seconds outside, and even for inside it didn't take more than a minute. But Note 3 now doesn't lock when I am inside. But at the same time there is no problem when I am outside! Weird really! Outside locks are fast, it takes around 30 seconds to lock, and that lock stays for one day or something for inside too! If I don't reboot the phone then that lock stays longer.

In any case I have given up on indoor locks. It locks perfectly well outside and that's what matters to me now. But before buying the next phone I would definitely keep this thing in mind, cause if Note 2 didn't have any GPS problem then its really weird that Note 3 does have some GPS related problems, well to some extent at least.

And those fixes, (hope people won't mind), are for the very unlucky people who are very unfortunate to buy a hardware defective unit, I mean the hardware fixes. The only thing you could do software wise is change the GPS server to your country's one, that's it.

PS: You could try this app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by.zatta.agps&hl=en

This thing for me will show that GPS is always locked, regardless the device can actually lock to any satellite or not!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
I just navigated from the Netherlands to southern Austria (No, not the one with the kangaroos) on my N9005. No such issue, GPS locks just fine in about 10-40 seconds, depending on the amount of satellites overhead.

Is there a quick way to turn off the G4 screen with the use of the proximity sensor or like double tapping the home button? If I have the phone flat on the table I don't want to lift it up to turn it off and I don't like waiting for it to dim out. I like locking it.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elemt:
Oh wow didn't think of that thanks, but that only works on the lock screen?

If you are using stock launcher, it works anywhere, screen on. With screen off, double tap will wake it up.

I don't think you can get into safe mode if you cannot boot.

Otherwise, get to power off menu and long press the power off button to prompt for safe mode.

Is there any way to "install" this feature to the Bluetooth wizard?
