What's the expected standBy time for you guys?

Mine can't last two days of zero usage(wifi enabled) .

Is it normal to have cell standBy as highest battery usage?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] va55ago:
Hello All,

I'm really determined to fix my GPS issue.... even if it takes reading the Android/kernel/firmware sources ;)

I can see for some of you it's fixed now after yesterday's release, for me it's not. GPS is far from being stable, most of the time not showing my location at all, or with constantly decreasing accuracy.

For those who do know - what are the "layers" involved in GPS functioning, and where are they located (flashable ROM? baseband? kernel?):

Does baseband/radio impact the GPS? I've seen tens of different articles, but they seem to condradict each other (has the architecture changed in the last years)?

Where is GPS firmware located? is it part of the basic ROM that vidwhal is creating? Or is it part of the baseband that, as an example, some of us had to flash as suggested in OP, to fix the "no SIM card" issue?

For me, unfortunately, the GPS is basically still not working. gps.conf can't the the root cause, as gps.conf on my other Android phone (Galaxy A5 2016), has it stripped down to just few lines, with one of them referencing NTP server in NA (I'm from Europe) - and it's working brilliantly. Fast GPS fix, no stability issues, no lost fixes,etc.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] steff195:
Yeah, for me too. I used the phone to travel through London today and most of the time it didn't show my location, problem which I didn't have with the previous build (15.10). N9005 device.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Rexor10:
It doesn't work for me too. I'm on latest build, with modem as in the picture.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Kanalcommander:
After a try to flash modem after 15min without battery, another USB cable and port and a try with raymans advice the modem still was screwed.

I decided to flash a TW rom and then change to this ROM again following instructions in OP, worked like a charm.

Was even able to restore old data partition without harming the result, so issue is fixed.

Nontheless thx for all hints and advice.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] CrazedBoredom:
This is not necessary. Just clearing the data from the apps will fix it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cssr:
The GPS is working perfectly on my N900V, but that has been true for the last three or four builds. It acquires lock in 5-15 seconds and stays locked on.

Thanks vidwhal for this excellent ROM!

---------- Post added at 12:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

You are correct! 99% of force closing app problems can be fixed by clearing the data for that app, then rebooting the phone or uninstall and reinstall the app. The only time I have force close issues is if I dirty Flash a ROM without following proper procedure.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] farscaper11:
does anyone know if this latest tmo RR update fixes the "your offline" bug with a good LTE signal on the SM-N900T?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Julian CM Kwan:
All good over here. Running latest 5.8.5 10/25/17 build @ vidhwal. Residing in Malaysia (South East Asia). GPS locking in 5 seconds and stable for the time being. I need to test for a few more days to confirm the stability.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TGSKK:
There is one more challenge for the N-900T (T-Mobile) devices which is getting NFC working.

Maybe you and/or the lineage devs feel motivated to take a look after successfully fixing GPS?

Would be the max. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Rexor10:
Does network operator matter in case of GPS fix?

edit #1: I also tried

quoted

config but it still doesn't work.

edit #2: I've solved the problem! See this post!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Rexor10:
I've tried many versions of RR, variety of modems and gps configs, but finally - it seems to be fine now!

Here's a simple instruction which worked for me:

1) Dirty flash the latest version of the Remix ("RR-N-v5.8.5-20171025-hlte-Official-vidwhal") and wipe dalvik & cache!

2) Flash Nordic Countries (QD1) ( "N9005XXSGBQD1 and N9005XXUGPQB1") BL and CP from this thread.

3) Replace your gps.conf with attached one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] stonedead:
GPS works out of the box for me on latest build and it pretty fast too. N9005 with QB1 modem but I'm still with old bootloader which is BOK3 from my country firmware (XME Malaysia)

I have got a strange problem, the browsers can connect to internet easily, but other apps (FB, Gmaps, soundcloud, ...) take too much time to connect and fetch data before disconnecting almost instantaneously. This behavior is very noticeable when using cellular data, any help?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ahmed Kassem:
Check your apn settings and double check it's the internet one that is checked, not the wap (or remove proxy settings from your apn). I had the same problem and solved it by selecting the prober apn. I guess that will solve it for you since we're in the same country ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] peeporzor:
I actually had a fantastic GPS on 10/15 build. I then dirty flashed 25/10 and everything regarding GPS went wrong! I decided to wipe system, cache and dalvik only and then flashed it with gapps. Still, I cannot see GPS with the GPS test app. I don't really use GPS so I'm good. Thanks vidwhal.

[MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION] is RR with Oreo being developed?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] va55ago:
Thank you Rexor10!

I skipped steps 1 and 3, but step 2 finally fixed the GPS for me after few weeks without it... I am yet to review the contents of the gps.conf file you've attached, but I've had mine pretty spot on in terms of settings already.

The only problem (not a huge one though) now is, that despite being connected to my car charger, with my usual navigation on, my mobile's battery is slowly discharging - ca. 3% over 1,5h drive. In the past, 1,5h was enough to charge the phone substantially...

Just curious, for those aware - should there be a baseband dedicated for each country? and is it a given, that the baseband for my country will be better for me than, e.g. the one for Nordics?

If I wanted to test the latest baseband for my country & phone - where do I get it from? sammobile provides the firmwares, but the latest one for Note3 is for Android 5.0. Does that matter?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] vidwhal:
I'm sure it is by the RR devs
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Chinaboy5216:
What i've read so far RR devs will go for 8.1 instead of 8.0 :o so might still take a while before the big day comes :cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] vidwhal:
Yep! Wise decision. I was hoping so when I saw the 8.1 announcement.

Hi Bro, thanks for your thorough procedures and guide for GPS fix. But is it advisable or suitable for me to flash Nordic modems and bootloader because I'm residing in Malaysia (South East Asia). Thanking you in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] stonedead:
No issue with those modem and bootloader combination. I'm from Malaysia too and it works fine..
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Julian CM Kwan:
But I'm having some issues with modem and boatloader from Saudi Arabia. It was okay with the latest build RRN 5.8.5 25/10/17 @ vidwhal on the first boot. After restarting a couple of times or power off occasionally, I'll lose GPS and not detecting at all with GPS Test.

Your kind advice is very much appreciate. Thank you for your promptness.

Android Pay not working is unfortunately a common issue on all Nougat ROMs. I had the same issue - worked once on twice and then never again. It's apparently NFC driver problem and I haven't heard of a solution yet. Strange thing is NFC alone is working, it just wouldn't activate HCE with terminals.

GPS Heaven

I have finished testing the latest build 2017-1025 and finally GPS works well in Nougat RR.

Porting OnePlus GPS HALs really made a big difference for the better.

For the first time since moving to Nougat I have a quick and STABLE GPS fix no matter what. Number of satellites in use increased from 6-8 to 9-12 and accuracy is always quickly down to 3-4 meters. Time to first fix is usually 2-8 seconds.

This is with the QB1-Nordic modem recommended in

my thread

- the newest modem available as of now. It is really different from all others. With older modems GPS does not work so well or does not work at all.

Those who are not on QB1 modem and are still suffering with GPS problems do not waste time and flash it now. It does not matter where you are.

Thanks [MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION] for once again producing a fantastic RR build. :good::good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] CrazedBoredom:
It worked fine for me so far if my memory serves me correctly.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] vidwhal:
Wowsers! You're not wrong. After flashing the Nordic firmware my first GPS test was 4 seconds. Easily the fastest first time lock I've experienced. Well done on all the testing you've done to acquire this knowledge :):):good::good:

Magisk installation ends in error 7

For October 15 and 25 ROM releases, I get error 7 at Magisk installation. But one thing I do not like: Wipe Dalvik and Cache. So here's how I made it working for both 15th and 25th releases.

I flash only the ROM. Error 7. Reboot to System. Shows that ROM is updated. But no root.

I flash again only the ROM. Still Error 7. Reboot again to System.

The third time I flash ROM, it may or may not result to Error 7. Since setting is auto-reboot on successful flashing, I go back to recovery and just flash kernel of my choice and Magisk.

Sometimes, I will do one whole batch when already doing 5th or 6th flashing:

ROM, UnSU, Kernel, Magisk.

So far, so good. And I never, ever wipe System or Dalvik/Cache. Thankfully my phone always cooperates and knows my weakness. Thanks [MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION] for the continued support for this ROM, and everybody else working behind the scenes.

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] aillez:
Works for me.

Maybe you need to uninstall Xposed / Clean flash and try again?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Arquiteto:
So I finally found a way to fix Android Pay. The fix comes from 1+1 (that uses same nfc chip) and was around for quite some time but you need to copy it to a different directory on Note 3, that's why it was not working for me.

So you need to extract View attachment libnfc_nci_jni.so.zip into /system/app/nfcnci/lib/arm, replacing the file that's already in there and Android Pay will work again (assuming you're green on Safety Net).
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sauliiin:
Hi mate, I'm from Brazil too and using the Nordic bootloader and modem you recommended.

Are you still using the same GPS config zip file you shared? Have you testes latest Brazilian modem?

Just curious! Thanks! Have a nice week
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Finchy11:
In response to all posts about flashing the Nordic modem and bootloader I have found that there are even newer than Nordic ones - the Italian. Check them out, they are in this thread https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/general/bootloader-baseband-bl-cp-samsung-t3582504
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] svbarbosa:
Good to know it is working for you.

Yes, I have tested the brazilian modems. Actually latest firmware for Claro is also on QB1 modem. Vivo and TIM are still on old OL1 modem.

Stock gps.conf is working fine. No need to replace it.

I am still testing gps options in my own gps.conf and maybe I will release it, but with RR build 2017-1025 I am back to square one due to the replacement of GPS HAL libs. So do not use my old ones. Stock is better.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] NDbluewee:
Hi

Can I just ask ... if I have ROM update for RR how to do an update without affecting my current system? Sorry, don't know whether this is the right place to ask?

Pretty new in the xda developers .... ! Thank you very much -:)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Rexor10:
You can do it only if you have previous version of RR - just flash it via recovery without wiping anything. But if you are using different rom - you should wipe!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] NDbluewee:
Hi

Thank you very much. Yes, from my previous RR.

Last question: Do I still need to flash Gapps again?

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Imprezzion:
Well, i'll be keeping this build since deleting on int sd works fine and i don't run a ext sd as i have plenty of space on the 32gb internal..

Btw, [MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION], can i place a sneaky feature request in here? Something no Nougat ROM's ever managed to do so far on this phone is actually work with a PC USB connection in the way it's set up in Dev Options. Android 6.x ROM's work fine when you set it to Media (MTP) mode and connect as a accessible drive in the PC. A Nougat ROM however, no matter how you set it up, will always connect in charge only mode and require you to unlock the phone and use the statusbar USB notification to change the mode after which it works in MTP.

Is it possible to fix the connection mode you think? No one ever managed to fix it or just never bothered on either LA or RRN but yeah.. it's worth a shot right?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bratboo:
I'm using the 25_06 build as well coming from fresh install with Root File Explorer and deleting files from Int and Ext are working just fine, no file is missing after deleting a file then reboot.

Is this the only problem from 25_06 build? If so I'm keeping this build with that bug in mind.

Installed the ROM yesterday. First had to update TWRP from 2.8.7 to 3.1.1.0. Then Aroma Open GApps would not install because of a bug in TWRP, but Open GApps Mini was no problem. Been installing and configuring the apps for the most part and figured out how to use Multi-Window. Have to search how to make it as good as Samsung's version. The Androidversion is pretty limited. Viper4Android took a lot of time to install the driver (used this to install, but it's not processing now. Have to figure it out how to get it working.

I don't have any of the bugs you have mentioned so I think isn't a rom problem. If it were rom problem we all would have the same bugs. I'm in 20170619 version with Synergy Kernel, opengapps pico and all flashed with TWRP 2.8.7 and all works perfect. 0 random restarts - 0 FC.

If you post your logs I'm sure vidwhal helps you but without logs please don't complain about the rom.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] va55ago:
Can you share your source please?

Where is the file taken from exactly?

I'm not paranoid, but I think I've taken it far enough with flashing, etc. and am not brave enough to replace my binaries with random ones from the net, especially when it comes to paying / handling money ;)

Just to add a comment on the Nordic modem/bootloader. After the success with the Nordic modem (my GPS finally worked!) I thought I should probably try different ones, to see if any is better.

I have even downloaded the latest SM-N9005 LTE firmware for Poland (where I'm at) from sammbile, extracted the modem, flashed it, etc. but in most cases had "No SIM card" problem. After trying few different ones, I got back to Nordic CP. Now, not sure if/how that's possible, but I think my battery usage is higher compared to the BL/CP suggested in OP. And, when charging in car and using navigation, the battery slowly discharges. In the past, despite using navigation, it still ended up with phone fully charged.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Arquiteto:
What does it mean originally? On stock ROM? AFAIK SM-N900T comes with NFC so it should work.

I have international a.k.a. hlte a.k.a. SM-N9005 and Android Pay worked just fine on CM13 and on MagmaNX (TouchWiz Marshmallow port). I only couldn't get it working on LA14 - I could pay in-app, like Uber but the for Tap and Pay the terminals wouldn't recognize my phone. I heard of a solution on 1+1 a long time ago, but it wouldn't work for me, so I gave up and reverted to MagmaNX.

No problem :) It comes from this thread

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/help/android-pay-cm14-1-t3504989/

Just be careful - the Magisk module from OP will not work, because it places lib file in a wrong directory for Note 3.

I think this fix is now integrated into Lineage OS for 1+1. It would be cool if someone did this for Note 3 family as well, but I'm not sure how to do it.
