Sprint Internet and my phone...

For a while now I've been having some issues with my phone's Internet connection. I'd be in the same room the entire time and all of a sudden Internet is off for a few hours unless I reboot my phone or connect to wifi.
Even as I try to type this plea for help my Internet died on me and I had to restart my phone. Thankfully the xda app saves drafts.
I'm not sure if it's my phone's rom, an app, or whatever else. Any suggestions would what to do?
Rom: PACman
Cheers.

In recovery you can fix permissions under advanced in CwM
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

So just a general fix permissions setting? Not something like fix permissions for this app or something?

Yes, when you run fix permission in recovery it does everything. For the internet to 'just stop working,' that sounds like a network issue. I've known people on that rom for a good while and never stated that as an issue.

But the thing is the Internet isn't like this on my non rooted Samsung s3. So I feel like it's either my rom or an app gone crazy.

Try a new rom and see if that fixes the problem. Even reflash your rom. Wipe cache/dalvik/fix permissions. Go through all the motions and find out what works for you. I recommend going back to a stock rom to run updates (prl and stuff) and see if that fixes it. If all else fails try formating and start fresh.

Poor battery life since update to MA7

My battery life has been significantly less since I have updated to Ma7. Running it stock, deoxded, and rooted. I've included screens shots
Any ideas? I appreciate the help.

Looks like you got a wakelock, use better battery stats to see what's causing it. That almost solid blue bar in your 2nd screen shot shows way more awake time than what your screen on time is, awake almost 80% or so of your total uptime
I like to break stuff!

I'll give it a try and post back.
Thanks!

Could Google now location services, such as time to work cards, be causing pipe battery life?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

All that maps stuff will kill your battery, especially if you're inside where gps can't lock fast. I use autostarts to force maps to stay off unless I open them. And yes cards in google now do hit battery pretty hard as well.

Everybody is over looking Mediaserver skyrocketing to the top of the list since this MA7 update. I'm also experiencing a drop in battery. Mediaserver is the cause and u can't seem to find a fix :banghead:

Yes indeed.
The Google location services is a big user as well, but to turn it off or prevent it's autostart would hinder Google now, at least I would think so.
Good point on the media server. The battery life was better before this update, and I'm sure Google was still hogging battery life. So media server seems to be the problem... Possible.
Could one possible freeze certain apps to eliminate the drain from the media server?

Mediaserver drains battery fiercely due to a bad image file or video file......it keeps trying to read the file. The only fix that I found was to backup your sd card reformat it then add a folder at a time to make sure it doesnt get stuck scanning.

I've found that it is only the network based locating that causes this particular wakelock madness. Turn off network based location and maps behaves fine... Shame really as Google Now is coded to be broken unless Google knows what network your connected to.

I doubt it's any of my files. It never was a problem on LJC. And even now the problem is random. Comes and goes on different boots. I'm thinking maybe Samsung accounts might have to do something with it. A few days ago I noticed it updated a Samsung push service app on its own. In my head that sounds about the same time my problem started.

That's why I use autostarts to disable everything unless I open it manually. Then you don't need to turn off the location services they just don't activate til YOU tell them too. They fully function just like normal only they only function when the app is in the foreground

Sorry of this question seems redundant.
So will doing this hinder Google now or any of its features?

Doing what? Disabling network-based locating, or using autostarts?
Google Now to fully function requires knowledge of what wifi network or cellular network you're connected to to...Shame really, and downright creepy.

Sometimes my phone has gotten wonky on time usually as a result of battery swaps. happened even prior to my rooting.
All i needed to do was toggle off/on the Auto time set feature and it resets as it should.
All most over slept one morning because I for got to check the time after a battery swap prior to going to bed. Phone is my main alarm clock.

Just go to settings then under system go to date and time and then set the time yourself.

Samsung has introduced a qualcomm time service that might be responsible for weird time behavior. I know on my phone it can be off by up to two minutes, so what I did was disable this from running. If you're rooted, you can either disable it in titanium/application settings/adb OR just remove the application from /system/app/TimeService.apk

Gps issues

There are no posts in here about it, so am I the only one with issues? Signal loses lock about every 5 seconds, and bounces me all over the place in Google maps, and Navigon. I'm completely stock. I downloaded a gps app, and it's locking on to 12 or so satellites.

the google maps - it has navigation built in

try to clear data and cache settings

just a "duh" note, make sure GPS is on and not just network location, I'm sure you all have but it never hurts to triple check also check your powersave mode, not sure if they may have an effect on it.

My gps is terrible too. Not sure why... Looking for a solution.

Faster fix and top ntp do the same thing it changes the GPS server from a generic one to one to what part of the world you live in
Then use GPS status/GPS test to update agps. Bam good to go. As long as it's not a hardware problem

Same here. I also tried bending the "leaf contacts" on the phone so the antenna makes a good connection.
My phone can see 25 satellites but it can't get a GPS lock, any ideas?

I have had serious problems with GPS on custom ROM's (among other issues). They would show the satellites, but it worked like garbage.
I did a full wipe, and ODIN'd to stock, and it's been great ever since then.
Have you tried making a nandroid, and doing a factory reset and full wipe, to see if it works well after? That should allow you to rule out if it's hardware related or software.

Working mk4 mms and wallet fix

What we have hear is a working mms fix for people that are running note 3 features on an mk4 rom and the stock mms stopped working I also have made a wallet fix both can be flashed in cwm and twrp flash away and report results with what rom thankyou

Click on the link and it will take you to the download page for both separate downloads. You will see the descriptions of each being self explanatory. MMS works perfect. I flashed via TWRP and all was good afterwards.

Thank you half sleep so just read the first part of each file and didn't realize the name was different after the first part.

I tried the Wallet fix. After reboot, tap and pay sets up, but my NFC services STOP on boot up. If I try to restart the service, it stops moments after. Have to do a restore on the rom. NFC works fine before applying this "FIX". Please advise.

Ok now this is strange. Followed directions and after reboot nfc services crash. When it restarts and I tap phone to phone it instantly crashes after it vibrates. But even though the nfc services crash, wallet does setup.
So went to the store to get some smokes and I used tap and pay to try to pay, knowing that the services would crash, but what happens is the payment goes through and services didn't crash. I get home and try phone to phone again. And services crash again. Any ideas?
