Ripee's Build 04/07, N910T, GPS does not get a fix. Can see some satellites but no lock.

Will try 04/08 build and report.

4/8 build GPS works.

But mobile hotspot still broken. Turns on, accepts connections from other devices, but those devices always report "Connected, no internet access".

This feature worked in the 14.1 ROM
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] sronweb:
The hotspot issue has been reported from other users so it's an expected rom problem at the moment.

Dude you are a genius! I used to use MyBackup Pro and had a (4 month old) backup of the Bank of America app. I restored the app from that backup and it works great! Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks. I'm currently using it, and it works

But I'm trying to let the devs bugs so that they can fix (hopefully) them.

Furthermore HedgeCam has a problem, no possibility of taking a picture while recording a video.

Are you guys using device only GPS? Or high accuracy?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] sronweb:
Most likely is because of some difference on hardware between the models. If I'm not wrong it might depends on the used modem / baseband.

If the location is set to "High Accuracy" does this get around the problem of GPS satellites only? Does "High Accuracy" include Glonass and Beidou?

similar rhing happend to my with my nexus 10 right after i flashed a new rom i thoght it has motherboard fried bit tjen i left on charge, nothing on screen for some half an hour tjen sudently my wife toldme schreen has shown battery indicator, i pressed the power button and it came up, after alot of reading on subject i think this happen:

Battery info is stored on some file, after new rom that file got reseted so no battery calibration, so i left on charge knowing notting about nothing and charge chip ****d in alwing the battery to charge again, one thing i observed is before i flash tje rom i was some 85% om charge, and when it came back from the dead battery was 1% who knows, just try this yourself it may not be dead after all, good luck.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dodo-j:
In the androiTS GPS test pro aplikation also finds Glonass and Beidou satellites, but fixes it only with GPS satellites. No fixes satelites Glonass and Beidou(high accuracy).

sygic navigation work good.

Probably sygic enough GPS satellites to work. Of course, if this rom allowed work with the Glonass and Beidou satellites, navigation would be even more accurate.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] stylemessiah:
Every time i read about GPS issues, i want to ask the same question, for the milliontyeth time on XDA

"Are you setting the gps.conf to YOUR region or better, country?"

Go along to http://www.pool.ntp.org and find at least your region (on right hand side) if not country (drill down again on region page), and edit /system/etc/gps.conf to edit the necessary lines..

For instance, for me in australia i use the following (multiple redundancy):

NTP_SERVER=0.au.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.au.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.au.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.au.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=au.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.oceania.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.oceania.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.oceania.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.oceania.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=oceania.pool.ntp.org

or to make it even easier, at very least i could use:

Region:

NTP_SERVER=oceania.pool.ntp.org

Or, even better, for Country

NTP_SERVER=au.pool.ntp.org

Really if you havent done this, no one on XDA should be posting about GPS lock issues...its basic stuff.

Really this info should be on page 1 of every ROM thread...

p.e Forget about Glonass, its a known issue on many ROMs, moving on....

I read your post on a previous page and i did install faster fix and set to my region and country. Same issue :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] stylemessiah:
With respect, my manual way doesn't destroy all the other settings in gps.conf (yes you can go into advanced and manually add the extra settings, but then it's actually more work than manually editing GPS.conf in a text editor...app - fast selection of country/region, but half a dozen settings you will have to find in current GPS.conf and cut and paste in, one at a time, versus opening GPS.conf and cutting and pasting a few lines from ntp.org very easily...take your pick), which is another example of why I'm not always a fan of "there's an app for that". I tried FasterGPS about 5 years ago and noticed it hosed all other settings in the conf file, and it was actually the reason I switched to doing things manually...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] rwalli:
Yes, tried custom ntp-servers from my country

and i even tried to clean flash - as described in the OP - at least 5 times with different version.

(even with all the versions suggested in this forum)

but gps is not working in my apps.

I also installed 14.1 to verify my hardware is correct.

(with 14.1 everything is working)

Maybe, i've done something wrong,

but if there is something wrong with the rom this post could help.

I think that's why people are posting here their experience...

Cheers for doing the right thing, much too often people just post "xxx isn't working" and expect Devs to magically fix things without lifting a finger to test where they can test without too much drama. You've done the correct testing (going above and beyond to try on 14.1), and now it is up to the Devs and lineageos

[MENTION=962829]stylemessiah[/MENTION]

Your post was the first time the fix has been posted in this thread, with detail (thank you). I applied it and will do so in the future, but I personally haven't seen the fix before, and I've been flashing since the HTC Dream. You shouldn't be so quick to judge people.

That said, with the servers added for my region, I did get a lock on 5 satellites, and Glonass. But it took a 10 minute drive.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] stylemessiah:
Glad it had some positive effect for you. You also have to factor in every time there a major version jump, GPS is almost always going to take a beating for a while...people focus more on radio/wifi and then camera functions so they can take bloody"selfies" like a 13 over actual useful utilitarian things like GPS :)

Anyways...

Not judging people necessarily as much as making them aware that they can do their bit (even if they were completely unaware before it's pointed out! :) ), and equally it's as much for Devs too, as I said this should be on page 1 of any ROM thread, instead if it's even mentioned, usually in a minor undetailed way, usually only referred to by a link to a bloody app (abject laziness :) ), it's buried on page 341 of any ROM thread, where we know of course it's hard to be seen we all know most people never use the blooming thread search box :)

I've been posting by this GPS editing stuff for years...as have others. Quite why Devs don't put it on page 1 of their threads for the reasons to be mentioned already is beyond me..there seems to be a prevailing attitude amongst Devs generally (no offence meant to our current hosts) to let threads grow out of proportion with requests and answers to similar questions rather than put standard info in the opening page, such as, for example, the gps stuff, or common things that crop up in the threads.

A couple of paragraphs of common useful general tips and 300+ page threads would shrink...

I'm still amazed at generally how many pages the average ROM thread is on XDA, sometimes bordering on insanity. People really could benefit from a bit of leadership and or formatting, and even rules, from the mods and admins. I shake my head a LOT on here...

Anyways, back to the gps thing...

Nevertheless it's a good thing to be aware of and get into the habit of utilising...the best part being you can make a copy of gps.conf and on your PC/ext sdcard and reuse it across ROMs as it rarely changes even across major versions of android, at least to my knowledge, across a single brand, I've effectively been using the same gps.conf since my S2.....

My other top tips are to

1) of course reboot after editing gps.conf

2) use a GPS app/tool that lets you reset the gps cache (sometimes referred to as GPS state) after you reboot the first time...I use GPS Status (I use paid, YMMV)

p.s. you're doing better than average with glonass :) people should really Google/Wikipedia it to find out why the system itself is a secondary interest/issue to most folks, it's had a chequered history reliability wise (but due to get an upgrade again this year, though to not be seen to pick on our Russian brothers, GPS is just as old..both came online when I was young) , and why down here in the southern hemisphere I couldn't really care :)

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] MRC01:
More testing with GPS, Rippe's 4/7 build on N910T:

Every time any app uses the GPS, it takes at least 10 mins to get a fix under clear skies. It acts like it's a brand new device. If you then close the app, and immediately re-open it, it starts over again from scratch, taking another 10+ minutes to get a fix, and only under clear skies.

Normally, only the first fix on a fresh device takes this long. Subsequent fixes use AGPS to get a fix in seconds.

So it looks like the GPS is always being used "fresh", that it is not saving or using AGPS. This is probably caused by something set incorrectly in a config file.

Also, the 4/7 build on N910T is dropping the mobile connection every few hours. When it loses the mobile connection, phone, SMS and data all do not work and nothing short of a reboot will get it back.

As for devs.

Look at date for first post

Look at build date [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] is posting

Look at number of comments in the 14.1 thread

1. The popularity of the 15.1 has exploded in a month like nothing I have seen except for the trebel development by [MENTION=842948]Phu[/MENTION]ssen

2. I have been having no GPS issues on either ROM. So I Haven't known about editing the GPS.conf till now.

Huge thanks to you.

3. New users not posting handset/ROM/date absolutely haven't read the OP, so why would they read the GPS.conf if it was posted, let alone google different handsets for a GPS settings fix ? Lol. Just kidding

4. You defiantly know noobs haven't read the op when thee posting problems about jacked up 3rd party compatibilities. Lol . PS . I was a noob until I posted about 50 questions on XDA. Then I became a Senior member. Still a noob.

4. Yes I repeated the number .. Maybe you can post a thread about GPS.conf for everyone to link to? Then OP 's wouldn't have 300 lines to read through? Oh that's right, you would have to answer noob questions. Haha

Daily Build 0410 I just got done doing a clean flash and whatever sim card errors and issues with 0409 were carried over from there to the 0410 build. yes it was a clean flash folks. I have a backup made of the i believe the 0407 build which i restore back to often when the daily rom upload is borked for some reason. I dont know if this will help but i can tell you that I have already restored my backup once before and just for testing and why not find out I dirty flashed the 0409 0ver my restored backup and yep you guessed it.... The sim read fine. i think i am about to try a dirty flash over the restored backup to the 0410 build and see how it goes. i will report back

Ouch! You guys love long post :laugh:

I'm a noob but:

I read the OP :p

I followed the step by step instructions to flash

I knew it was beta testing (at least at the beginning) so everything couldn't work out of the box

I reported almost dayly and read other posts...

I used search (and Brain :D )

On the other hand, I saw some people definitly didn't read the OP nor other postes... ;)

About GPS: i've read LOS is "GPS only" : no Beidou, no Glonass, no Galileo :D and it seems to be a closed issue.

I've tried GPS fix but didn't like it...

Tweaks for GPS.conf are good but we may need more explanations (why couldn't I find a sticky thread about that?)

Note: Actually build 0305, nanogapps 0331, magisk 1630.

Works pretty good, i'll do a full backup before testing newer builds ;)

Havent you asked this like 50 times

The answer is No, MMS requires mobile data, thats how it works....

You can either:

turn mobile data off and have no MMS

turn mobile data on (which isnt an issue if you are using Wifi and have a good signal (if you dont have a good wifi signal, fix that rather than post the same question here)) and have MMS like a normal person

edit your APN for only MMS and leave mobile data turned on

Any way you cut it, your question doesnt belong in a ROM dev thread as its a basic general mobile and not even android specific question...search XDA or google

for instance for only MMS via APN editing: https://www.kirsle.net/android-mms-without-data
