[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassld87:
Hello guys,

I've deviced to open a thread since i'm out of options and helpless. I've been busy trying to get my gps to work on my i9505 running on cm12.0 (optimized-final). Before yesterday i ran cm12.1 nightlys but because i had bluetooth and gps problems i decided to run a more stable built, so i did a full wipe with twrp (wipe>wipe data) and installed the rom.

Bluetooth issues resolved but gps still not working.

Ive tried several procedures, like installing gps status and downloading the agps files, and configuring the gps.conf file. Both didnt work unfortunately.

After some research i found out that a lot of people experiencing gps problems with the cm12 roms. A much suggested solution would be to use fastboot to execute the following commands; "fastboot erase modemst1" and "fastboot erase modemst2".

So now i used several procedures (via xda-developers and others) to install adb/fastboot and the necessary drivers but fastboot keeps failing to recognize my device (adb works properly though).

After more research i discovered that fastboot doesn't work with the i9505 (non-google edition). Can someone confirm this?

Ive spend several hours trying to make it work but fastboot just won't recognize my device, so i assume the i9505 just isnt compatible. The annoyance is strong with this one.

Does someone has the expertise to see pass this problem? Is there maybe a way to erase the modem cache through adb? Or is there a downloadable script or app i can run from my phone?

You would help me so much!

Much obliged.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I don't know about the fastboot issue, but to correct your issues you need to get back to square one so you can try again. Install a stock ROM using Odin. That should restore your GPS functions. From there, you can try a custom ROM again if you wish.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassld:
Thanks for your reply. But yeah, ive read about this solution but i wanted to try the fastboot command first. But since its not working i will go back to stock and start over.

Would i mess my gps up again if i restore a twrp backup after installing stock?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Possibly. GPS functions are modified through the gps.conf file and your backup could restore settings that would bring your problem back. It's best to not use your backup.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Our device doesn't have fastboot. No Samsung devices has fastboot.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dionizas:
Hello,

Is there any ideas how to use those commands on i9505 with TWRP maybe?:

"fastboot erase modemst1" and "fastboot erase modemst2"

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
No. Samsung does not have fastboot thus those commands will never work.

I've done everything I could do without taking apart the phone.

I don't know what's wrong, sometimes it will work sometimes it won't.

Now though, I reinstalled WM5 (latest cingular build) and I have to tap the screen to start using it, but the screen won't work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mandie622:
that happened to me when I put a screen protector on my phone. I took off the protector and the phone worked again
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Pacer:
I dont have one of those.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dferreira:
Has the mobile fallen on the ground? Make sure the screen doesn't have any dust on the borders... if there is contact on the screen on any point, it won't recognize any other point of touch (multi-touch is not supported by our screens).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Pacer:
I'll try cleaning that out when I get a can of compressed air
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Pacer:
I got it to work for a second so I can use the phone. Now I just want it to always work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TSoprano:
Thanks so much for this post!!

The other day my touch screen stopped responding to my taps.. The lcd worked fine and I could still navigate with the buttons, it just wouldn't respond to touch..

So I was almost ready to take my phone apart to see if the digitizer connection was loose.. I decided to search around and see what other ppl had to say about TS problems.

I read this post and started to go around the edges of the screen with a business card and lo and behold it started to work again.. Must've just been some dirt up in there.. You just saved me a huge headache!

Thanks dferreira ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Pacer:
My screen is all white now.

Anyone know how to take apart the phone, I'm thinkin my ribbon is not connected right.
[General Topics] Wiltron:
Howdy all!

Earlier this year, Snapchat introduced a new "Feature" called Discovery that allows you to see live events around the world, as well as sponsored stories from their partners. These can not be disabled in the 9.12 update, and previous to that, they required you to "hide" each of them every time from your feed. There are potentially thousands of these events on your feed, and they drain battery, drain your data, or both! Since SnapChat refuses to allow their users to disable the "feature", many turned to third party apps to get rid of them.

Most (if not all) 3rd party apps are against Snapchat ToS, because they usually allow you to save received snaps, and share images from your gallery (aka. pictures that may not be of you). Your account can be banned permanently from using 3rd party apps, and since they've been really hitting it hard with cracking down on people using them, it's not a viable solution to figuring out how to block the Discovery "feature".

I found the solution! This solution IS COMPLETELY FREE for one, as well it will keep you using the official app, so no 3rd party apps will be used. You'll also NOT be using any xposed modules, so nothing ToS breaking like saving snaps or whatever, either :)

Requirements:​

ROOTED Android 4.4+, 5.0+

Titanium Backup Premium - Free Version and Premium Unlock Key

Latest Snapchat APK - Google Play or APK Mirror

Snapchat 8.1.2 APK - APK Mirror

How to:​

Install the latest official client from the links above, and login as normal. Close the app once you're logged in, and swipe it away from recents.

Open up Titanium Backup Premium, and back up the Snapchat app.

Uninstall the Snapchat app.

Install the 8.1.2 version (linked above).

Open up Titanium Backup Premium, and restore ONLY THE DATA PORTION of the backup. DO NOT RESTORE APP OR APP+DATA!

Once successful, close TiBu and open up Snapchat

Notes:​

You will get a notice from "teamsnapchat" that says your version is out of date, and that it will stop working shortly, however it's not limited in any way for me. I've sent and received snaps from friends, chatted with friends, and even received story updates from other friends. All of it is working, including push notifications of new stuff.

I've not seen or heard anything Discovery wise from the app, nothing appears on my list of friends, and lastly, the data/battery problems are all but gone since it's not background syncing infinitely.

My screen does turn on whenever I receive a new notification, and I can't seem to disable it. I've unchecked the option to wake screen in settings, however it re-checks itself upon save/exit. I'm OK with this though, since my lockscreen timeout is 5 seconds.
[General Topics] Kevin M:
Nice work but it is a bit misleading to say that this is removing/disabling the discovery feature in Snapchat 9.11 when the underlying solution here is to downgrade Snapchat to before the feature was enforced or introduced.
[General Topics] Wiltron:
It's not really a downgrade entirely though, since if you downgrade to 8.1.2 without the backup/restore data operation, then it refuses to let you login.

You're downgrading, then upgrading partially..
[General Topics] HiWhatsUpNothin:
Pretty sure it doesn't work on 5.1.1. I get an error saying it won't work on this version of your Operating system.
[General Topics] voetbalremco:
No, you're making the downgrade possible due to restoring the data of the newer version of Snapchat. Its a tweak to make the downngrade possible. Restoring the data doesn't brint back the new version.

I find the title misleading aswell, since you are not removing nor disabling the discovery feature at all.

It isn't Snapchat 9.11+ either when you downgrade to 8.1.2.

Its not really your solution neither, as this is was the default solution to use Snapprefs and simular mods before it was recently updated to work woth the latest Snapchat versions.
[General Topics] rlaw:
Doesn't work for me unfortunately. Automatically logs me out upon opening Snapchat 8 even with version 9 data restored.
[General Topics] pfizzle:
After installing the current version of snapchat and logging in, try to go to settings and uncheck the option for Wake Screen, THEN proceed with the downgrade instructions. I haven't tried it, but it might work for you if your screen keeps waking once you downgrade.

I'll try this once they release root for my phone
[General Topics] joemon871:
To solve your wake screen problem i think all you have to do is backup the data AFTER you uncheck wake screen then restore the data to the downgraded app.
[General Topics] neonixxx:
Good tip and much appreciated, although this has been known. And I agree it is misleading since the app is being downgraded and we are not actually disabling the feature in Snapchat 9.11+.

Again, the post is appreciated, but I think you should edit the thread title.
[General Topics] JoaoMarcos:
Doesn't work. After restore data and open Snapchat app, my account was disconnected and when I try to do login again, I receive a message saying that Snapchat is not updated and I need to update to login (something like this).
[General Topics] ChainFires Son:
I usually just install the 8.1.2 update over the latest snapchat ☺. Data restore hasn't been working too fine with me :)...

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JKSurf:
I bought a cheap screen replacement off eBay for $47. The replacement screen had no copper foil on the back like the original. While reassembling, I broke the top small pin off to the far left of the rear camera.

The phone now has no GPS, extremely weak WiFi ( only works when <5 feet from the router), and Bluetooth signal is extremely weak.

Everything else works fine.

Any idea how I can get GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth working again?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
By repairing/fixing it properly? I mean you answered your own question where is the issue. Maybe the shielding also plays into it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JKSurf:
Ok well I guess my questions are:

Has anyone been able to replace the left pin in the picture?

Or been able to rig a substitute?

Does this pin control GPS, Wifi, and Bluetooth?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soralz:
I think the pin contacts with the battery cover that acts as an antenna, you can try use wire to solder it from the phone to the battery cover to reconnect it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pasha Kai:
Wow! I have same problem!
[MENTION=6827653]JKSurf[/MENTION]

But in my case: I did screen replacement at mobile store.

About GPS gone - technician said to me, that this is because I have corrosive damage from water in my Oneplus.

I didn't believe him - at home opened the phone - no corrosive damage. But I have this "bridge to antenna" gone like you. I have another Oneplus (for parts only) - there was 2 antennas. So this is definitely the problem.

Did you solved it?

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arthur Zampirolli:
don't update your phone to 4.4.3 or higher, you will hard brick him!
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeshan94:
that occurs when your bootloader is updated.

when you install soak 5.0.2/5.1/any lollipop custom rom, the bootloader will get updated and you will get "failed" messages everytime you flash stock 4.4.4 on files like primary gpt bin,motoboot etc... THAT'S NORMAL...

to be safe -> install twrp recovery -> advanced wipe -> wipe everything except your external memory card .... - follow this method while changing roms. ...

never update from 4.4.2->4.4.4 via ota as suggested in moto e forum.

Meizusale.com is not fake! OP had me extremely worried, as I could not get any response from their web site or tracking either. I pre-ordered MX5 on July 3rd. My phone arrived yesterday even though they said on order that it would ship first week of August. Now I will be busy with new phone!

[Meizu MX] AmaiKitsune:
Hi,

Was this actually purchased from Meizusale.com? I have recently purchased an MX5 from them, wasn't able to get a response from them for a week, only today, have successfully contacted them, saying that it is stuck in China customs due to it being National day golden week holiday which is true and will take another 10 - 13 days for me to be able to track my order as it needs to reach the Netherlands. How long did your phone take?

Kind regards

[MENTION=6987764]AmaiKitsune[/MENTION]: what happened with your order? I ordered one myself and am concerned about it now. luckily I paid with paypal so I should have no problems.
[Meizu MX] AmaiKitsune:
Hi,

My order came in and is in no way a fake site, the order did take a while but it got here so don't worry about it being fake. Especially as you paid with Paypal you should have no problems. :)
[Meizu MX] brafun:
Thank you very much for the swift response! It is indeed very difficult to filter out the truth from all the information on the internet. This is why statements such as yours especially in this site are quite valuable.
[Meizu MX] AmaiKitsune:
That's no problem at all! It is difficult. I got very worried when I emailed them, never got a response and their 24/7 customer support was hardly ever on and decided to look it up, with a lot claiming it was fake. As stated, I have received it and it's one of the best phones I've had and well worth the money! :)

hii I just ordered a mx4 pro through meizusale.com and after reading these posts im a little concerned .I would like to know how long it took for the phone to arrive? and did the tracking numbers work and also the condition and the quality of the handset..Thanks in advance ! [MENTION=6987764]AmaiKitsune[/MENTION]
[Meizu MX] AmaiKitsune:
Hi, there's nothing to be worried about. The phone took about 3 - 4 weeks and once the package reaches the netherlands from there it can be tracked but that in it's self can take a week or 2 to get to the netherlands. The quality and condition are exactly as you'd get in a store, new condition. Meizusale.com communication isn't too fantastic which is what worried me, but the phone did arrive and is well worth the money! :)
[Meizu MX] gioindika:
oh thank you ! You certainly did make me feel better ! I opted for the free shipping option guess u did the same? 3-4 weeks is fine as long as it gets here !hopefully the tracking would work in a week then :)...Im ordering from Australia so i guess it would take around the same time .Good to hear its all brand new :) .True they suck at communications ! but its a great deal ! anxiously waiting for mine ^_^ .Thanks for the quick reply !! :) hope you are enjoying your new phone ! :) [MENTION=6987764]AmaiKitsune[/MENTION]

[Meizu MX] brafun:
Hey I just realized I didnt share my experience with my purchase. Well the phone did arrive and it was exactly as advertised. Took some time definitely as I too opted for the free shipping and it eventually got held at customs but other than that the seller is OK. Certainly dont expect swift responses from them, but they deliver.

As far as the Meizu MX5 itself is concerned, I guess I was one of the unlucky ones who got a buggy phone, as after the 2nd month of usage it started randomly to shutdown once the battery drops below 50%... :confused: and nothing seems to fix it (restoring, flashing different firmware etc)

So do have this in mind when purchasing

I'm currently running Android 5.1 Build H81010e.

Since last week, my phone has alerted me that a software update is available. I start installation, the phone resets, and the notification comes right back after 2-3 minutes. It's been in an endless loop for at least the last week. Now my phone resets every 3-5 hours attempting to force the update, but it doesn't seem to ever install.

Anyone else having this problem on AT&T? Is my build the most recent? Any ideas on how to fix it?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phineous:
If you want root, don't take the update.http://xdaforums.com/g4/help/how-to-prevent-updates-g4-t3148650

If you don't care about root, go to Settings > Smart Cleaning and use the cleaner. It may remove the update file and let you download it again.

Since AT&T blocked recovery mode, there's no easy way for us to clear the cache, so you may need to factory reset to get the update to download again.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rykerman:
Apologies for resurrecting an old post however this is the closest forum topic I can find. I have a G4 and I have the same issue as above. I keep getting a notification of a software update and when I try to install the update it just restarts and then 2 minutes later I get the same notification of an update. It's an endless circle lol. I have tried smart cleaning twice and each time I check for a system update and I get the original notification and the endless loop begins again. Is there anything else I can do to update my device? I'm not keen on performing a factory reset or rooting my device if at all possible. Also I'm not with AT&T. I'm with an Australian carrier.

Many thanks
