[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m140n1:
Hey Guys,

I have been experiencing location problems across multiple official ROMs on my S6 Edge+.

The phone is showing incorrect location when using only the mobile network to determine position. I live in Bulgaria using the Vivacom provider, yet the phone is set automatically to Ghana in Africa when using the mobile connection only.

The moment I connect to a WiFi or I Turn ON the GPS, it immediately shows the correct location.

It appears that it is not a GPS/A-GPS problem but the fact that it is not getting the right location when using the 3g(HPSA) network.

I never had such problems with my previous device(s3) and I am using the same chip(cut to fit the nano slot).

Is there a fix as it is very annoying problem. I am getting wrong checkins and it is messing up with all my apps that are using the location service. The problem is that I cannot always get the gps location while in a building and I don't have WIFI always available.

Is it that Samsung just sucks?

Best Regards!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m140n1:
Bump,

It is not a mobile provider issue eather. When I use the hotspot to connect my laptop to the internet, it shows the currect location as well.

I guess it is a software issue...
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m140n1:
Does anybody has that problem at all or it's only me?
[Verizon LG G3] BoulderGeek:
So, I have just noticed (been informed) that when I call other Verizon users, my inbound number shows as "Restricted." So, people who have me as a known contact never see who it is and screen my calls.

However, calling to AT&T, at least, my ID shows and they know who I am.

I am on Nameless ROM, most recent build. I don't think that this happened on SkyDragon 5, the previous ROM I had.

Anyone else seen and solved this problem?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Neither my wife or I haven't had this happen on Stock LG, for what it's worth. Just a piece of info to keep in mind. Has anyone been able to tell you if this issue started at a particular time/day?
[Verizon LG G3] BoulderGeek:
No, I have no idea when it started. I only became apprised of it this past weekend, when people I called said I looked unlisted.

I went to NamelessROM about two weeks ago. Prior to that I was on SkyDragon 5. I held off on SD6 because I wanted tether. now xdabbeb's mod works, so I could go there.

I'm trying to download xdabbeb's VS985 ROM and bootstack, but AFH is offline.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Argh. Confirmed. That sucks. I'll PM you a temporary private link if you like. Got to upload it first so I'll PM you as soon as it's done.

Looks like AFH is up right now.
[Verizon LG G3] BoulderGeek:
Thanks for the response. Once AFH came back, yesterday, I downloaded the 35B bootstack and VS985 ROM and got them both up and running quickly. Restoration of apps worked perfectly, and my phone was recreated successfully.

I still show as Restricted, so I clicked some security setting, somewhere.

While I love CM on my Samsung tablets, I think that Stock LG is better for this device. Really enjoying a new beginning.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yeah, personally I haven't liked CM as much since I've owned devices with enough RAM and storage. The relative lack of posts regarding issues with 35B, versus 23C and 24B shows just how smooth it is. Mods make up for some of the other things we normally get with CM.

Weird regarding your restricted issue. I still wonder why to people on some networks and not all. Please update us if you finally determine your issue!
[Verizon LG G3] BoulderGeek:
I feel silly. It was my account. I couldn't unset it with the MyVerizon app.

I had to dig into features on the VZW website. I was hesitant to do that, since I cheated on the Best Buy contract extension to keep Unlimited data at current prices. So, any change to the account could, in theory, wreck it for me.

Anyway, buried in the add/remove features area is a Caller ID section. I had been investigating on how to ban all Restricted/Unavailable Caller ID numbers from reaching me, as my house had been for sale, and greedy realtors were spamming me. Somehow the checkbox that I thought would protect me instead made me look Unavailable/Restricted. So, friends and family were screening me out.

Therefore, it wasn't any ROM. Just user error. Still, it prompted me to try out xdabbeb's ROM, and it is all good.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Cool. ☺ I used to use Mr. Number app but it lost some functionality so now I'm using Extreme Call Blocker.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickromeo:
Before I got my Nexus 6P in the mail, I've read that the fingerprint scanner can be used for more than a fingerprint scanner. I read that other functions that it might be used for include:

1. tap the fingerprint scanner to act as a shutter button when taking selfies

2. scroll in webpages or scroll in your photos gallery

I'm primarily concerned with the 1st use-case. I tried it, and it does not work on my Nexus 6P.

If someone could please respond and tell me why, or even better... How to make it work this way, that would be very much appreciated. Or at least tell me when this functionality will be arriving if its impossible to do currently.

Thanks in Advance !
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chevycam94:
I think those were just ideas being tossed around add to what else a button in that location could be used for. To my knowledge, it doesn't currently work for anything other than a fingerprint scanner
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rythu_u:
Well the function you are talking about comes with other Huawei phones like Mate 7. Unfortunately it dosent come with the 6P.

Probably some one will come with an app but you may have to root in order to get it. Hope that answers your doubt :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury683:
You can press the volume rocker to take photos with either the front or rear camera. This works in Snapchat as well.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackuphill:
Thanks for the tip
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyelitodev:
Hey I know this is a little old but I recently released an app that lets you do just that. It is called "Imprint - Fingerprint Camera" on the play store and allows you to take selfies using the fingerprint sensor WITHOUT root utilizing the Nexus Imprint API

After being happy for a few days with my second Z5 (First one had backlight uneveness, changed out next day), I stumbled upon yet another QC error by Sony. This time around there is dust stuck beneath the frosted glass. Now you might say "Oh it's just a scratch!" I looked at it from multiple angles, under bright light and also with an electronic microscope. There are no indentations to the surface, which leaves me just as baffled as most of you on how this happened :confused:. This is a REV4 model, everything else works wonderfully though, barely any camera fringing and no uneven backlight, haven't tested water proofness yet, but that wasn't important to me. Needless to say I'll be exchanging it tomorrow because the shops that have it in stock have closed for the night.

So just a warning on another thing to look out after buying your new Xperia Z5!

Why do you do this to us Sony, we only want your products :crying:.

PS: Here's the unresized images if you want to peep: Image 1, Image 2.
[Xperia Z5 General] effective:
You bought it that way for sure.This ''thing'' can not go almost to the middle of the phone by itself.Just one more thing that we need to look closer before buying.And Sony is not doing this intentionally,bro. ( : Just bad luck.
[Xperia Z5 General] augie7107:
No disrespect intended but the absolute last thing I am worried about is a piece of dust under the back glass. In my opinion, trivial.
[Xperia Z5 General] crazeazn:
return it. if you're spending $400+ usd on a phone it should be pretty darn near perfect.
[Xperia Z5 General] Deleted member 3005899:
See I fully agree it is trivial. But the fact that is there will drive me crazy. Considering cheaper phone manufacturers can deliver better QC, I expect cream of the crop from Sony. Call me picky or pedantic, but for a price of the phone there is no excuse.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Radimus:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UAF52RQ

This product contains 3 sets of balls and magnetic sockets multiple phones and cars.

The product comes as 2 parts; a base with silver ball and a washer shaped neodymium magnet, shaped to fit the contours of the ball. Each part is attached to the car or your phone with 3M sticky tape. which , once set correctly will make a substantial physical connection.

Placement on your phone should be on a hard plastic, glass or metal surface, not on silicone or a flexible surface. Placement is optimal on the center where it can be rotated freely and weight distribution will be kept evenly distributed. The ball should then be attached so the best placement can be made, so the phone when attached will fit, limit obstruction and be in a convenient location.

The product includes alcohol wipes to clean the surfaces before removing the cover from the tape surface as well as extra double sided tape spots so the parts could be removed and reused.

The product was easy to install and performs adequately. The only negatives I see with this product is due to its nature of being magnetic, which will throw off the compass in the phone. It doesn't affect navigation use, but just the magnetic compass. This issue is present from all similar products, not with this specific item. Additionally, placement on phone takes a bit of consideration. When the phone placed on the ball, the magnetic attraction is reasonably sufficient to keep the phone from falling off. However, friction is the only thing keeping the phone in the orientation as it is placed there. An open flip case or off center socket will allow the phone to twist due to gravity and "dangle" the heaviest part downward.

This product seems to be the functional equivalent of the Nite Ize Steelie magnetic mount kit, but at less than 1/3 of the cost of the Nite Ize product. I.e. 3 sets for less than the price of 1.

I was NOT given a promotional discount for this product and have not been contacted by the seller. I saw the Nite Ize product at a local store (for $30) and shopped on Amazon for alternatives.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niccoo26:
Hi all,

In first, sorry for bad english, i m French lol.

I have a lag with my gps, i install ROM Dr Ketan for n910f. I want post on thread but I'm new user.

I want use this topic :

1) Open Phone, go to the dialer.

2) Enter *#0011# to enter the service mode. You will land at "DEBUG SCREEN"

I hit menu key and select "back"

3) Hit the menu key, select "Key Input" and in the Input Value box, enter Q (capital letter) and hit OK

4) Hit the menu key again, select "Key Input", and in the Input value box, enter 0000 (four zeros) and hit OK

5) Wait about 5-10 seconds, your service menu should change to "MAIN MENU":

Code:

MAIN MENU

[1] PROTOCOL STATE

[2] UE SETTINGS & INFO

[3] ETC

[4] DEBUG SCREEN(OPEN)

[5] OPERATOR(OPEN)

Now I haven't messed around in here too much, but if you want to reset your modem and GPS (restore the factory NV values for the modem, which COULD help data dropouts, bad GPS fix, etc.), do the following:

1) Enter the MAIN MENU as described above

2) Select option 2 "UE SETTINGS & INFO"

3) Select option 1 "SETTING"

4) Select option 2 "SYSTEM"

5) Select option 3 "NV REBUILD"

6) Select option 3 "ALL"

7) It will tell you to reboot. Do it. Reboot will take slightly longer, but it will completely reset the modem, GPS, and IMS settings

But a step 5, I wait , but any screen for select.

You have a solution ?? Plz

Thx

This is the full partition Backup (no system, userdata, cache, nvram):

https://mega.nz/#F!VhFTFZbS!cSHuPg9u6PinHZjl19RqZg

We can try to flash all the partitions for unlock normal android version with cyanongen and install ubuntu touch from sp tool? :confused:

I care is better if try to flash it from fastboot :)

Is a 50% and 50% bet! Or full brick or full unlock! I believe after restore the phone can turn on normally, but if don't turn on can be recognized from SP FLash Tool for flash ubuntu touch.....but i'm not sure
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
I care is better from fastboot :o
[Meizu MX] ChocholateMaster:
hm that's smart maybe then , but i don't know if preloader can be locked with or file or something from another partition but it's good idea

Flash from cyanonge with app

[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
No one partition can block the restore from app...

[Meizu MX] ChocholateMaster:
maybe if we would just flash ubuntu rom without preloader maybe it would work or if there is a problem with partition sizes?
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
You restore with my backup all partition, you leave nvram for imei and userdata and cache (useless for this test).

and then if won't boot fastboot still work, recovery?

srry i need to go to slleep school tomorow
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
If this backup is flashed the phone is full unlocked and you can flash with sp flash tool ubuntu touch. No auth error. I care. But we need testers.

Inviato dal mio MX4 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
Or full brick.

Inviato dal mio MX4 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Meizu MX] iicc:
The problem is that maybe some of the partitions have write protection at boot, so brick...
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
One of those, not all. Mmm for you is only another failure?

Inviato dal mio MX4 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Meizu MX] iicc:
Very risky. Also we are not taking into account the different sizes of the partitions :crying:
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
The one different is userdata and system, we don't touch it.

Inviato dal mio MX4 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
The phone can be unlocked for let's start the process with sp tool, but can't be able to run android. After restore my backup...

Inviato dal mio MX4 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
The size is changed from scatter when you flash ubuntu touch from sp flash tool...

Inviato dal mio MX4 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Meizu MX] iicc:
But to full unlock you need to flash preloader, and we know that if we flash preloader the phone briks
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
nope in my case if i flash my preloader the phone don't brick! We restore all my partition but no system (is little) userdata nvram and cache. What lock sp tool? Secro or protect 1 or 2? or preloader? If we restore all the partition how can be bricked the phone?

I want test it :D
[Meizu MX] iicc:
Yeah but your phone is special xD

Let's see if someone wants to try it :good:
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
Yes is bugged, but if all partiton are changed with mine, how sp flash tool can be blocked?
[Meizu MX] ChocholateMaster:
yes but. we cant boot in preloader it has different PID (for me) and it's not preloader

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

i got an good idea less risky you flash cyanogenmod , make backup and if we restore it ..... maybe we will get an unlocked mx4 :D
[Meizu MX] ChocholateMaster:
because if it wont be successfuly we probably wont brick mx4 if we try to flash unlocked cyanogenmod to locked cyanogen??
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
:confused:
[Meizu MX] ChocholateMaster:
you made backup with ubuntu or cyanogenmod flashed on your phone?, if you have cyanogenmod backup there is less risk for those who will try that

I have cyano :) you want try it?

[Meizu MX] commonwarrior:
I can't comment with my experience because to do something like that you described in the first post, you should be sure about the LCD driver ic. I mean... We don't know how many mother board versions exist of the mx4, we don't know then the hardwares revisions so by now, we don't know how many LCD drivers IC the mx4 has. So we can't flash different preloaders we run the big risk to full brick the device.

I care about it. I spent 300 € to have it. So I care about it. Till we don't have the Test Point scheme we can't follow that risk. To make some experimentations like that, we need to know GND and Kcolo points on the motherboard, otherwise it's gonna be a perfect fail.

I have learnt so much from this site that I want to give back what I've learnt to the community.

I have put together the tools made by the brilliant minds here, I won't name all cause there are just too many. This is a Kitchen that I put together on how I would take apart a ROM and then fiddle around with it and then put it back to flash to my device. Its nothing brilliant, but it does the job just alright.

Thank you to bepe, core kitchen, CUSTEL for teaching me, Olipro, and a lot more i can't think of at the moment.

http://rapidshare.com/files/49695507/Hermes_Kitchen_v1.0.exe.html

Here is what's in the .exe file:

1.0 .nbh to .nb

2.0 Dump .nb

3.0 Packaging Dumped .nb

4.0 Extracting XIP from .nb

5.0 BuildOS and CreateROM

5.1 Edit initflashfiles.dat

6.0 Build Ext_Rom

7.0 Splashscreen viewer

8.0 .nb to RUU_signed.nbh

9.0 RUUWrapper v7

Tools

I've used this technique to take apart ROMs from Schaps, Sleuth, Faria, Custel, Dutty and more. Black version 3.0 and below can be used. But for higher black versions, JJ deletes the .rgus and therefore its difficult to rebuild with the missing .rgus. I don't blame JJ cause he works really hard on His BlACK Roms and someone comes and takes it apart and edits it and puts it up as his own. But all the chefs have worked endless hours and continue to work on them. So with this tool, maybe you guys can stop asking for so much from the chefs and do it yourselves...

Just try this out. Its nice. There is a step by step also with pictures.

Take care.
