Been running RR for sometime N900V. I have often found it difficult flashing without full wipe. I too have been plagued with GPS issues too... Tried most remedies and essentially no difference. After reboot works fine for maybe 5minutes then continually searching. Two nights ago sat down with small screw driver and my knife... 12 screws, then carefully remove inner cover and gently scrap contacts... Reassembled 15 minutes later and PROFIT!! Works like a brand new phone! Few seconds to lockup and absolutely stable for navigation... Fabulous ROM, thank you!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] svbarbosa:
This seems to be an antenna bad contact. :p

It is weird it does not work at all. It is working in my two phones, one is on RR 2017-0928 and the other on RR 2017-0917.

Did you update A-GPS data as I recommended in my previous post?

Please try to do as follows:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Tmobilefan906:
Its an easy fix. Just take the back off. Tear down on this phone is easy.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] vidwhal:
Just to share my GPS experience:

Took roughly 40 secs to obtain 3D fix (4 satellites) and climbed to 9. No drop outs.

Stock rom, stock kernel, slight alterations to gps.conf which I may include in the next build.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Chinaboy5216:
Which app are you using? Seems cool :cowboy:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Anabel Mora:
GPS test plus
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] svbarbosa:
In my case I have the fix in 1-10 seconds. Accuracy is usually 3-6 meters and satellites in use stays at 8-11.

The attached screenshots were taken this morning with my modified gps.conf (v2.01), RR 585 and QB1 Modem.

If you reboot the phone, first fix usually takes around 30 seconds, but in a few tests it took almost 2 minutes.

If you force an A-GPS update after the reboot then it always takes 15-20 seconds to get the first fix.

The modem in use has a big impact on GPS fix time and fix stability. After testing many modems I found the best in speed to be QB1 Nordic, although its stability is not great.

I miss the rock stable GPS fixes of previous android versions. Take a look at the small movie I made of my two phones side by side last march. On the left Marshmallow and on the right Nougat. The screenrecords were made at the same time while I was driving to the office. Later I joined them in the same mp4. Download the zip and extract the mp4 to watch. It is sad to see that Nougat roms somehow messed up GPS.

[MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION], which modem are you on?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] vidwhal:
Cheers for the info. I'm on XXUGBPB1. After initial connection of the 40 odd seconds, any reattempts to use GPS after only takes a few seconds to establish a lock anyways. From my understanding of GPS, this is kind of normal. I'm fairly sure it's referred to as a 'Cold' start when it has to get all info from scratch. From GSMARENA:

Is there a way to make notification background transparent?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] farinacci_79:
maybe OT but I need help:

I flashed last 28.9 rel 5.8.5 with the only issue of very very low gps fix.

I tried svbarbosa fix but nothing, fix in 240 sec.

I tried to flash last modem+BL BOA2+BQE1 (found in https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/general/bootloader-baseband-bl-cp-samsung-t3582504?nocache=1 , I'm from Italy) but after flashing my n9005 doesn't find any sim card, flashing back BPF1+BPH2 all wors fine but I'm not using last modem+BL as reported to use this fantastic rom.

On Sammobile I found that the last modem relased for N9005 from my carrier (Wind) is BPL6 but I cannot find an Odin flashable file.

Why my N9005 doesn't like BOA2 modem that is used in H3G Italy last firmware?

Where can I find last BPL6 + its modem ti flash by Odin?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Eleo:
Extract modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin as explained here then use autotar program as explained here to make ODIN-flashable tar.md5 file that has modem and NON-HLOS files. Then you can flash modem of your choice using ODIN.

Same is for bootloader. But you will need rest 5 files of 7 files shown in here to make a flashable bootloader.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] anghelboy:
Hi guys. I'm having this issue of "active" even when the screen is off. But I don't see a significantly battery drain. What could be the cause? Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] vidwhal:
Most likely a rogue app with a wakelock
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] farinacci_79:
Perfect!

Seems to be easy, I'll try.

Any idea why my note 3 sim slot doesn't work with BOA2 modem?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Eleo:
Most probably this is the reason.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] anghelboy:
Hmmm I have the same apps from my previous rom, and I didn't had these wakelocks problems. Thought is the ambient display so I tried to off it but nothing changed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] vidwhal:
I only mentioned it because I don't experience any wakelocks at all ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bratboo:
Try installing any Wakelock Detector app or try CPU Spy Reloaded, on CPU Spy Reloaded go to all tabs and choose Wakelocks. Check if Android System is waking up a lot, mine wakes like 600+ as I didn't noticed it the first time. If so try to tap it and force stop it. It should re awake again but this time it won't cause your phone not to have a deep sleep.

Just sharing my experience so maybe yours would be different but like you I also have the same apps with same set up since previous version of the rom. If it still persist then install Wakelock Detector apps, this will point you to what app is running in the background that prevents your phone to get a deep sleep.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] anghelboy:
One is from BBS and one is from wakelock detector. Both apps says that "PowerManager ecc ecc" is keeping awake my phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] va55ago:
Hi All,

It's the first time I've flashed my Note 3 (SM-N9005) and it's finally as fast as it was the first day I've bought it ;) if not faster. So, big thanks!

There are few things I'm concerned about though:

- battery life - looks like it can go 10% down throughout night with WiFi & Data Transmission (& GPS & BT, etc.) switched off... it's even worse when I'm using the phone - it looks like the battery charge is disappearing in front of my eyes... but, this could be the old battery, and I might be paying extra attention to it now that I've flashed, so who knows if it wasn't the same with the original ROM

- editing scroll-down panel contents (the one with toggles for switching WiFi, sound, etc.). When I want to edit it, it's all good as long as I want to drag & drop the (non-used) icons from the top of the list... if I want to drag one from the very bottom (NFC!), it moves up, but then disappears like if I stopped dragging the icon (as if I lifted my finger up). I've tried to do it using different approaches, different icons/toggles, and no luck... is it a bug? :confused:

I've also had the issue with SIM card not visible, but fixed it easily with the instructions provided in the thread.

Apart from that, I've also had an issue with my SD Card, that I had to format (constant notification top-left)and somehow merge it with the existing filesystem... for the moment though, if only I could add the NFC to my quick-access toggles, I'd be all set.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] CrazedBoredom:
I've been using the latest version of RRN V5.8.5 09/28 and I am noticing that while I do get a lock, it doesn't remain stable. There's been a few times I've been driving around and Google Maps would lag behind, sometimes a good 5 or so seconds before the new position is updated. I'm running stock kernel and have any gps apps excluded from battery optimization. V5.8.4 seemed to work really well for tracking my location (Google Timeline), but this latest version doesn't seem to work very well as it will only sometimes log my position if I have maps open. Here's a logcat (hopefully I did it correctly) in case it can be of any help.

Also one other thing to note is the compass, it never seems to stay calibrated very long either (I've used gps apps to calibrate it). But this has been persistent through many versions of RRN and I've learned to live with it.

Edit: I'm on baseband DPG1.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] vidwhal:
Tile bug can't be fixed. Workaround was implemented by adding Easy Tile Add option located in Settings > Configurations > Quick Settings > Advanced.

SD Card notification is normal. You have to pick whether to use your SD to extend the internal storage or use SD as a separate location.

If you've only just done the flash extremely recently, chances are your battery calibration just needs a few charge cycles to settle down. Otherwise if your battery is as old as the phone then surely it's time to get a new one!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] va55ago:
Thanks for the prompt response vidwhal!

Brilliant, fixed already. Thanks!

Yep, only just flashed it yesterday... Does it matter whether I leave it for full discharge/charge cycles, or can I charge my phone whenever (e.g. when at 80%) without impacting the calibration..? Not sure how it works.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] svbarbosa:
Finally I was able to capture the logs of the dialer freeze without using my Dialer One app.

I have two sets of logs, both captured moments before the phone reboots, both with RRN 585, one with stock kernel and one with [MENTION=6817913]gj86[/MENTION] Synergy kernel rc19.

The behavior is the same with either kernel:

- Dialer starts to dial and freezes.

- The call never reaches the called phone. The other phone never rings.

- After a while phone reboots.

- Only happens when streaming a radio station using

TuneIn Radio Pro

Hi everyone!

I recently installed this rom to my note3 9005. and after some time i noticed that files(video,word docs, excel files, etc..) which i put into my phone/sdcard gets zero byte. it happens randomly. sometimes files have original size but my mxplayer cant play it. files i transfer to my phone via wifi(airdroid) works fine.

Since I am not pro in this stuff, i ask your help.

ps. let me know if u need more info.

Thanks.

Hi

Since kernel repack has been discontinued, there's no hope for another update for Xenial or something which might make it works with RRN 5.8.5 without Bluetooth issue. My device is n900s-the Korean variant so I can't use stock kernel or Synergy :crying:

What do I do now? I can't use any version later than 5.8.3 with Xenial and battery in 5.8.3 is terrible. :confused:

I like aosp rom but I can't find any that support n900s :crying:

[MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION]

What's that App. I can't even disable all cellular data access / WiFi data access
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Eleo:
That is most probably usage from apps that you have installed sometime (or came preinstalled) and then you have uninstalled them. Since apps are not registered in your phone anymore, and info is absent, those usages are marked as from "removed apps". Unless that usage does not increase, that is the case. But if it will increase, then a more thorough investigation is needed and you need to provide more info.

Hello all

Does anybody have any experience with wakelocks and could tell me what the first wakelock actually does? I've been using better battery stats now for a while with the latest 28.09 release and battery life hasn't been the best. Apparently this wakelock keeps the phone awake the whole time. On the Android battery stats graphic it looks the same, i.e. the phone is awake all the time.

Many thanks in advance ✌?

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cssr:
There are two steps I suggest, to find a solution to that problem.

Step #1: Search the thread. There should be dozens of post about GPS problems, many of which contain suggested Solutions. If after reading the post and attempting the solutions, you cannot solve the problem then proceed to step 2.

Step #2: Post a proper bug report, including the following items.

1) The model number of your phone.

2) The baseband that is installed on your phone.

3) Which version of this ROM you are using.

4) If you are using the stock kernel or a custom kernel.

5) Which app you are using with your GPS such as Waze or Google Maps.

6) A logcat!

This will give the developer the necessary information so they will have a snowball's chance in Hades at helping you fix the problem!

PS: I'm not picking on you I just see it over and over and over again.

Hi Guys,

I have V4A installed in another ROM but it has always been a multi step, complex procedure.

Becaus I flash every single release of the Rom it's getting to much for my taste....

Does anyboy know a way to easy install it with this great ROM ?

Maybe a sinle flashable ZIP witch does it all ......

Correct :) The latest commit seemed to have blocked installations of APK files without certificates (those rooted apps like Titanium Backup, Root Explorer etc).

From what I've seen, the fast charging code in the 3rd party kernels have either been coded manually by the respective kernel devs and isn't actually ''official" code (not quite the right word to describe it). More than anything it's just a coded workaround to forcing the current to increase when it detects USB 3 etc... You should still be able get the full 1800mah with a wall charger though anyways.
