[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phil-w:
My Moto X Play runs Google maps or similar for hours then just loses GPS fix. Only way to cure it is to turn phone off then back on.

Could it be a memory issue as it normally takes a few hours of use before it happens. It could be 2 or 3 hours in one block of use or 1 hour one day the a couple of hours a day or so later.

As I say very random but dangerous to be rebooting the phone while driving on a motorway with no where to stop but no navigation ?

Ant thoughts appreciated as I need the GPS to be reliable

Thanks
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaskiratsingh:
Which version/ build are you using?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phil-w:
I've attached a screenshot of the info but it is the standard phone as from the manufacturer just with the last security update.

I've not unlocked/rooted etc as if I can't get it reliable I want to be able to return it.

The only thing I've done is fit a 32Gb card in and formatted it as extra internal/main storage.

I've moved a lot of programs on to the card when possible to free up some phone internal memory but things like Google maps are still running as they intended from internal memory.

Any thoughts on the problem would be appreciated.

Thanks

UPDATE:

since I've updated the phone to 7.1.1 UK release the issue of GPS loss appears to have gone. I've done several hundred miles and not once did it fail.

Pity I don't use it as my daily phone any longer as I couldn't wait for it to be sorted and it wasn't safe to restart the phone etc whilst driving....

Hello professionals

i have serious problem about 2 months ago with my HTC E9 Plus Dual SIM , wifi will not start also bluetooth , when i click on wifi it going grey and become white again , i checked Mac address it is said unavailable , sometimes if i was lucky will work after first reboot , sometimes i need to reboot it 50 times to get start , it start and connect for 5 or 10 mins then wifi stuck again and disconnect , at that time i tried to turn it off but nothing work. note the phone is rooted.

i tried the following :

Not working = wifi did not turn on.

1- firmware with stock firmware and update latest software version ( did not work).

2- replace sdio.ko and twlan_drv.ko on system\lib\modules (did not work).

3- i changed chmod for both files above to 777 (did not work).

4- clear cache partition and other caches (did not work).

5- reset to factory settings (did not work).

6- rooted phone (did not work).

7- change Phone name and bluetooth name when it is work but after a 5 mins driver got stuck and not back again.

8- tried reset wifi drivers or reload (*#265..etc) the code did not work.

9- sometimes after 20 times reboot (did not work).

10- activate flying mode and reboot then try (did not work).

11- i tried to restart in safe mode (same old story).

UPDATE : George suggested to me to try to fix wifi antenna and as i mentioned below in replies i just tighten the back cover and it work again without any troubles again thank you george

i am not sure if there is any steps to do to get my wifi back , i am sure it is software issue because it is work sometimes , i don't know also if there are files need to be replaced or trick can do the job .

please help ...

Greetings

[General Questions and Answers] jordannet:
up ... any idea?
[General Questions and Answers] George Malas:
I am 100% sure it's a wifi antenna issue and NOT a software related problem. Many HTC phones have wifi problems. See here https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/226502/I+cannot+enable+WiFi+on+my+phone

I suggest you have someone take apart your phone and replacing the wifi antenna cable as you can see here https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/HTC+One+X+Antenna+Replacement/31071 or you can DIY ?
[General Questions and Answers] jordannet:
i contacted HTC they told me it is possible that wifi board and replace it will cost me 250$ which is fu***en stupid because price of new mobile = wifi board.

i doubted that but too stupid to pay 250$ to repair phone while you can buy new one.

i read about antenna , i think it is part of solution , today i will try it , after those kids in my home leave LOL
[General Questions and Answers] George Malas:
Yes. Apparently HTC , like most companies, want to rip you off. 250$? Insane!
[General Questions and Answers] jordannet:
YEEEEEESSSS GOERGE ... BIG LIKE BIG LIKE ... I LOVE YOU MAN ..LOOOL YOU SAVED ME FROM HTC who attempted to steal my money :highfive::highfive::highfive:

yes George ... Done i got it done , Do it yourself , it was antenna as you said ,

what i noticed that because my phone dropped many times on the ground the back cover of the phone become little separated and there is little space so it Tighten it little bit and things working great ... this is the trick , no board .. no software .. it is fuc***n antenna ..
[General Questions and Answers] George Malas:

SAMSUNG GALAXY SM J727P - (BOOST MOBILE)

This thread is for the SM-J727P Boost Mobile is my carrier.

Update: 3/2018 (STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION)

The new RA1 is just a security patch. I myself have already got root so no worries....

GET NEWEST ODIN RELEASE

Get yourself the latest version of Odin. (Head to odins page for best downloads)

Head over to TWRP'S HOME PAGE and download the latest version for your device. Also get MAGISK. I believe the latest is Magisk v16 is now the latest. Also will need the MAGISK LATEST APP (5.6.0 I think) -

(Put magisk on external sd)

HOW TO ROOT:

1. Download ODIN, TWRP, AND MAGISK.

2. FLASH LATEST TWRP RECOVERY WITH ODIN. MAKE SURE AUTO REBOOT, IS NOT CHECK.

3. Pull battery and boot into recovery.

4. Wipe cashe/dalvik and Flash Magisk.

5. CLICK DONT INSTALL if prompted AND reboot

I've had this happen to me and it ended up being the cord... Make sure you are using a genuine Samsung cord and if that's not available us one that is thick and has good connections and make sure its a data cable no just charging... this gave me hell for days until I randomly tried it again with a new cord. If the files your using are correct then restart your computer and change to a better cord and it should work. It did for me... if you need anything else or any other files let me know...

How do you know which one to use? i need the latest for boost. i accidently flashed mine to a different carrier
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lonely Man:
n00b rule of thumb: Look at the last few letters: J727PSPT3AQJ3, if they're alphabetically higher than the one you're on, it's probably a later version. Latest right now is J3, just finished downloading them this morning and FINALLY got my phone to boot again! If you're on I3, you wanna be on J3 or get another I3. If you're on B5, you can probably use any version not in the B range.

Also, I installed the J3 firmware's CSC from Sprint and the phone automatically downloaded the Boost Mobile ID. You SHOULD be fine. I just started reading up on this yesterday, bricked my phone, and got it working again today so don't listen to me too much.

I screwed up,

I used odin to flash TWRP, tried to install superSU and bricked my phone.

I was able to (somewhat) restore it by flashing stock firmware, but i unintentionally downloaded the sprint version, not boost. Now even though the boost logo shows on the boot screen, i have no network connectivity.

Is there any way to fix this without purchasing another firmware version and risking getting the wrong one again?

FWIW, I was running J727PVPU3AQJ3 before i screwed it up.

Bypass FRP

Anyone got an FRP bypass method for this J727 Perx with the J3 update? None of the 'usual' exploits will work. The accessibility menu by swiping 'L' doesn't work. most of the shortcuts to get to a browser have been plugged. I'm told I can downgrade firmware but I think I tried it and it failed.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ATGkompressor:
Try searching for baseband corresponding "COMBINATION FIRMWARE". The second to last character will vary by a factor of one normally. It comes in .rar format, extract it, flash thru Odin in the ap slot and let it boot. Once it does you have free reign over EVERYTHING you need to bypass. It enables adb debugging for u. All you really gotta do is flash it, boot, then power down to download mode and flash original firmware. I'm typing on a phone that I did that exact thing on. Pm me if u have questions.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] equitube:
Thanks,

I did try to flash a combo file I found online. It wouldnt' work, I got a flash failure. It was probably the incorrect one though it claimed to be the one for my particular model/carrier.'

Do you have a copy of the file, I'd really appreciate it,
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ATGkompressor:
What is your firmware, and what is the combo firmware characters?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] equitube:
I found a combo file that would work, from a link from one of these forums. It worked great to get inside, enable USB debugging, factory reset, etc. Now to flash some stock firmware and recovery. Then try to root it. Haven't had any luck with the J series. I've also got a J3 Luna Pro I'd love to get rooted but the bootloader is locked on tho

Thanks for all your help all
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ATGkompressor:
Np. This is the sure-fire method for getting past FRP locks. I'm surprised it's not EVERYWHERE. I suspect that this can be done to downgrade as well. Took a note 3 from LP to KK and probably could've went down to JB. Glad it worked!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] equitube:
Apparantly it DIDN"T work. I flashed the combo file. it gave me basically a technicians screen with all the different tests and such. I was able to acess the phone settings, enable dev options, USB debugging, and did a factory reset from 'the inside' . I then got the latest factory firmware from sammoblie.com, flashed it, and guess whst,

FRP IS STILL ACTIVE, IT WON'T LET ME IN

any advice, anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ATGkompressor:
Did you add your account while you were in? The key is getting your account latched on. Also don't factory reset while you're in. Rebbot to download mode, flash official but uncheck auto reboot in Odin and manually reboot. When u factory reset u basically said ok go u can play again FRP. It's called FACTORY RESET PROTECTION.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] equitube:
Thank you but I"m quite aware of what FRP does, that's why I'm here. In this combo file, the ONLY option is to create or use a Samsung account, and when tried, it crashes. So I am to deduce by that the file is not complete. If you get an account on the machine, a Google account, which I can't do yet on this phone, it will survive factory reset and is a common method for FRP bypass
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ATGkompressor:
While you're in combo mode, gave you tried downloading Google account manager? Also try flashing a firmware package with a August 1,2017 Security update or earlier, but same Android version. Try signing in thru chrome. I'm just brainstorming here.
