[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysLucky:
The Google API uses something called a "fused" location, which uses a combination of GPS coordinates, network info, and wifi IP. It determines which is the most accurate and delivers that location to the app.

With that said, I have had zero issues on marshmallow ROMs with the actual GPS signal, nor the fused API. Install an app like GPS Status & Toolbox which will detail the actual GPS signal you are getting from each satellite, if any, as well as a fix if you have one. Also, using that app, download the A-GPS assistance file.

If you are getting zero signals from any satellites, it could either be the ROM or a hardware issue. If that's the case, try another marshmallow ROM like the Resurrection Remix ROM. If no luck there, have you done any mods to the internals of the phone? For instance, many users have reported issues after putting thermal paste on the SoC chip for a cooling mod. The thickness of the paste prevents the GPS antenna pins from making contact. Good luck! :cowboy:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbb14:
So,

1) disassemble your lg g3

2) take out the upper plastic part that contains the on/off and volume buttons.

3) scratch the 2 pins (near my cutter) and also the 2 pins on the plastic part (the 2 pins on the upper left)

4) cut a 3x3mm cartboard and place them under those 2 pins (like in the image - the 2 white pieces)

5) put back everything

6) optional => root + change the gps config file (NTP) . You can use FasterGPS app from playstore.

Before I did this , I was outside in my garden, and I have used the Gps Test app.

There were just 2 or 3 sattelites found, and everytime it didn't lock my position.

After the tutorial that I have given to you, in the same place, I have the reception like in the picture :)

Hope you liked it ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arys64:
Thanks for the advice, will try it tomorrow. I was having same issue and I changed the gps.config to match my NTP and also I went to the APN and under APN Type I added agps (like this: default,supl,apn). Now I'm having better reception.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] napster_nagrath:
I've not modded the internals of my phone, however, I disassembled it to unbrick it as I had hard bricked it. I'l try out the app as well. Thank you!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] napster_nagrath:
Thank you for such an extensive post detailing everything. Will surely try it out!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysLucky:
Ah, well that could certainly be a lack of contact with the GPS antenna pins. If you can reassemble the G3 again properly with no mods, there is no need to bend the pins (with cardboard or anything else as mentioned by others). That would be addressing the symptom, instead of the cause. The specifications of the G3 allow the pins to easily make contact if everything is in it's place and tightened correctly. When reassembling, I also recommend re-applying blue Loc-Tite on the threads on all of the screws like the manufacturer did to help keep the screws tightened. I personally have modded two G3's with 1mm thermal pads on the SoC, and I still have had no issues with pin contact and have had an excellent GPS signal with a average 6 second fix. Let us know how it goes.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] napster_nagrath:
Unfortunately none of the above work for me [MENTION=6061535]AlwaysLucky[/MENTION] [MENTION=769603]arys64[/MENTION] . I tried all the apps and I also put a piece of cardboard under the pins. The GPS Status keeps saying "Waiting for Location".
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysLucky:
Oh man, super bummer. It may not be a pin contact issue then. What ROMs have you tried so far? GPS Status "waiting for location" simply means it does not have a fix yet, but it should have a small readout of the signal you are getting from each satellite. (you can get signals from satellites without getting a fix). Post a screen pic of GPS Status for me, if you wouldn't mind.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] napster_nagrath:
I've tried Fulmics 4.2, Limitless 1.0 and Limitless 3.0.

I've attached the screen from the app.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysLucky:
Well, the number of satellites look average, but they simply aren't getting barely a signal if any at all. If you are sure you have ruled out the ROM as an issue, which it looks like you have, I'd have to say it's a hardware issue. Either your antenna is busted or the GPS receiver chip itself is failing. To me, it looks like the antenna. But if you have confirmed the pins are making contact okay, I'm simply... stumped. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, and my last suggestion would be to triple check those pins are not bent sideways and are still properly soldered to the board and making contact with the antenna. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] napster_nagrath:
Yeah no worries. I'll try and see what can be done. Cheers.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysLucky:
Hey there, a friend of mine was having a similar issue to yours and said he had to flash a different radio for his GPS to get a fix, which is sometimes included the ROM, and sometimes not. You might want to give that a shot?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] napster_nagrath:
Nah I tried them all. No luck.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavisNT:
I think those are the wrong pins. If I remember correctly they are used for Cellular diversity antenna.

The correct pins are shown in http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/help/d855-gps-fix-possibly-t3450046

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withcheesepls:
So...

I tried editing the build.prop file on my nexus 5x but couldn't so i decided to replace the file by first pulling it out and pushing it back. I rebooted the phone and it got stuck on the boot loop. So i decided to erased everything i added. And it still was stuck on boot loop.

I tried other things to fix it.

-flashing pure nexus again (i had pure nexus rom)

-deleted everything and flashing through adb

-flash stock firmware (got stuck in boot loop)

I was able to get it to boot without going into loop by deleting everything and flashing pure nexus through adb

but now i have a problem where it says "...contact manufactured " and the phone won't read my sim card anymore.

I looked into the /system folder and notice that build.prop is missing. i tried replacing it with the one i have but it would delete it after i reboot.

I tried chmod 644 on it and checked it and it is rw-r-r.

I think if i can get the build.prop without getting the phone to delete it then it would solve these problems.

Any suggestions or solutions or build.prop?

I had purchased my phone via my carrier (at&t). Since this happened within the 1st year of purchase (1 year warranty) they replaced it for free.

Well now that we have an unlockable bootloader... Well, that has to go to AT&T now
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camcorder123:
To my knowledge, most variants use a generic G900F rom, because those carriers strictly use GSM bands. Verizon and AT&T use CDMA bands, which aren't fully supported in these roms. [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] has released patches (thanks :)) that will help with compatibility, but I think these are confined to 5.X at the moment.

I **think** there may be some modifications made to Verizon & AT&T roms regarding firmware, but I can't be sure. It seemed there was more than just CDMA support in the zips provided by JrKruse.

When flashing a G900F rom (should be safe) without patching, you'll probably only have glitchy and cutting out 4G/LTE, with no calling or SMS. Some modifications of the APN settings can maybe help a little, not much. The use of third-party texting apps has been shown to provide some support, but not complete.

Of course, all of this is just based on my strange reasoning, I could be completely wrong on some parts.

Besides cell services, these roms will work fine. Quite fast, too.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limeaide:
As I have stated in the other thread, if a rom is 6.0 and not touchwiz as long as it has a dev build it will boot and work without much more than verifying the apns. 6.0 Touchwiz is simply a no go, just dont try it. It is not worth the headache to get it to work.

I know cm, aokp, aicp, and Resurrection remix all have dev builds there is a couple of others that I think but havent really looked.

[MENTION=7373887]camcorder123[/MENTION] ATT doesnt use cdma technology, they were just dicks and locked the bootloader like Verizon.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camcorder123:
[MENTION=4613510]limeaide[/MENTION] Oops, you're right about ATT. Sure, a dev build will be easy to run, the problem is that nobody makes them. We've got a few ported but no official developers (from what I know) are actively developing for the phone. That'll probably start up sometime soon but until then we need to find a way to make the generic roms work.

Upon further research, I think it's gonna be a *tad* harder to get G900F roms to work than I thought. The reason only LTE works is because the LTE standard requires a sim card, so there's no problem in getting the phone to read the card and connect to the tower. But, CDMA is separate from the LTE standard - each phone is whitelisted on Verizon's servers (I'm assuming with the IMEI number) and does not need a sim card to access voice and SMS. This is unlike GSM, where everything is through the sim.

So I dunno, we might be stuck for a while. I wouldn't flash roms made for variants other than the KLTE edition, it might be the same outcome even though they may support CDMA.

Hi guys, i was trying today to increase the earpiece volume but it was difficult to find any hints on how to do it, any help on how to do it will be appreciated. Anyway when i was searching i stumbled on a post on how to increase the Headphones volume instead.

Here is the post : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50466456&postcount=5. Ty [MENTION=5132878]Shadowprince94[/MENTION] & [MENTION=4439610]hamdimo[/MENTION]

Anyway i tried it and it worked, you need to be rooted for this to work.

Here are the steps to do it on P8:

* Make sure to make a backup of your rom in twrp before attempting this in case something goes wrong. Or you can make a backup of the local.prop file you are going to change.

1. Go to Settings -> About phone -> Custom Version: (Ex: CUSTC470 D001)

2. Go to /cust/hw using any file explorer with root. There will be 5 files, in each of them there is a prop folder inside it a local.prop file.

3. Now try to open each of the local.prop files in the 5 folders and see which of them has your cust version (The final two lines has the cust version in the file) for me it was C470 which was in the spcseas folder.

4. Now open the local.prop with the built in text editor of the file explorer with root and then change this two lines by adding a "#" before the code. Like this:

Before:

ro.config.ce_authenticate=1

ro.config.hw.security_enabled=true

ro.config.hw.security_volume=8

After:

#ro.config.ce_authenticate=1

ro.config.hw.security_enabled=true

#ro.config.hw.security_volume=8

5. Save the file. Make sure it has the defualt root permissions and restart the phone.

Good luck, by the way the increase is not much but better than before. :good::D
