downgraded now no gps and the phone is on the fritz - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So about a month ago cm-updater for some reason came up on the notifications bar and told me there is an update i was running cm10.x , the update was 9.x.x. I though it was strange that it would show me this, so i just figured it was an update for the actual CMupdater. When i rebooted,my phone was stuck on the boot logo, so i rebooted into recovery flashed the latest nightly and recovered all my stuff. After a few days i noticed the phone would just freeze then reboot, then i noticed i had NO gps at all, not just an issue with GPS satalite Lock, but it wouldnt even see satalites. here is what i have done
INstalled the lasted nightly, latest stable.... no luck the phone is still acting the same
next,
googled "gps fix for Galaxy nexus"
tried a few GPSFIX.zip's in CWM
tried to erase data in services.framework with the reboot in each step
tried GPS fix and faster GPS
stilll nothing, its all the same,
then i ran the galaxynexys toolkit
locked and unlocked the phone (to erase everything)
install factory 4.2.2 image
NO GPS
installled cm10.1 lasted nightly
wiped all caches , delvik etc...
fresh install
no gps
tried to erase data again on services.framework.
no gps
left the GPS on all day, not one satalite..
Can anyone help shed any light on this issude??
\
As for the phone acting up.what will happen, i will open the phone, and after a few seconds the screen will flash black for 1/2 a second, then come back, then the phone will be SUPER slow, until i lock it and then unlock the screen again..
also random freezes and reboots.

Well, I would suggest a factory image flash, but you've already done that and gps still doesn't work. Sounds like your hardware is borked.

Problem with installing CM10 on Xperia Pro

Hi,
I was trying older and latest FXP 136, flashed kernel from zip, then put zip on SD card, then use Recovery to flash it, but on recovery ive got always same problem - the screen looks fine, then i press vol - to move line down and screen is getting splitted and moved on the screen, when i press vol- again its back ok, then again vol- splitting screen again, and it repeats...
Ive made a photo with screen splitted. Maybe can you tell me whats the reason? CM9 works pretty fine, but from first release of CM10 till now, i've got this problem on my MK16i...
Even when installed CM10 on this bugged recovery, Camera is not working

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After it says "installing", what happens?
It is installed now without errors, after 2-3 wipes and installs and 3 or 4 times flashing kernel, because on first setup, i had messages about crash of setup or something like that, but after all it seems to be working, but recovery menu is still buggy as i've described above
Camera is not showing preview, but its taking pictures.
And there is again GPS problem - Google Maps can find the signal, but any other app, like Automapa cant get it and always stays at "looking for sattelites".
Also CM10 restarting from time to time, even when phone is locked, so i think ill be back to CM9...

Phone starting to forget account selections

Recently my phone has started to forget account defaults, specifically in youtube. I will watch a video in to morning with no problem, then try again at night and it acts like I have never opened it before, asking me to select between the two Gmail accounts I have. It has come up occasionally on other apps like Google currents, and it has persisted between roms. It started on skynote 8 a while ago after maybe a month of usage, I thought nothing of it after switching to clean rom 4.5 (just trying out different roms). It started to happen again after about a month again. Between these two rom switches I wiped everything possible because I was attempting to clear up other weird problems. I wiped the usual (cache, system, data) as well as formatting my microsd card in the Android system.
I have not been able to find a correlation to an app install or any setting change, if anyone else can shed some light on this I would be grateful, if not I will flash back to stock and see if it happens again, then I will take the issue to ATT.
Thanks!
One other thing I forgot that also broke was the accelerometer. It just failed to give any values. After switching roms it came back. I dont see how this would happen, again no correlation to an app or mod, in fact I hadnt flashed anything other than skynote.
Just going to guess. Do you have this app that Google forced on us?

It just shows up after downloading something from the playstore.
I have no idea why.

[Q] Desire LED flash stop working

Hello today i dropped my desire on concrete from about 30 cm with the screen facing down , the phone was in a rubber case and after that the flashlight stopped working i did factory reset even changed rom's nothing worked.
Is possible that the flash module popped out from his place? from that fall it was just a little fall and it was in a case too.

Click to collapse
It is very possible that a cable got disconnected inside. Try opening the phone and see what happened.

This is very strange,last night i did cache and dalvik cache wipe when i turned the phone on i got Android is upgrading later that night i downloaded an app to use the screen as a flashlight but i checked the flash led too and it worked but in hight brightness it didnt worked
This morning i needed the flashlight again and it did not work i did a cache and dalvik cache again just to be sure and it didnt worked
Now can this be a software issue or a hardware issue?
EDIT: now it works again after 1 hour

Weird Random Reboot Problem G3 850

I am on Cloudy 2.5 + Stock kernel + CIT Mod.
Ever since I upgraded to Lolipop I have been experiencing these "sudden" reboot problems. And once the "Sudden" reboot occurs, it keeps on rebooting over n over again after showing the lock screen. I am unable to do anything except for go into recovery and clear cache and dalvic cache. Sometimes that works, sometimes I am still stuck with the reboot loop.
Another thing of note is whenever I successfully recover from a reboot I have noticed a huge dump in battery stats. I have attached the images. and this happens everytime I recover from a reboot cycle. Not after a normal reboot, but just after that "Sudden" reboot cycle.
I noticed there was "Clear battery stats" in "LG SU 640" days which helped in keeping battery stats properly calibrated. But I dont see any such feature in LG G3 TWRP recovery. ::just something that I remember from old days ::
Anyways, here are the images of my battery stats. Notice the dump in the stats.

Hey salimbaba, I have the exact same problem on my G3 with Cloudy 2.5. I have ordered a new, cheap battery from a website called AliExpress, it should be here in two weeks or so. I think it might solve the problem, I will let you know! The way my phone is now is hopeless, at is crashes all the time, especially with under 60% battery...
Good luck!
I also have the exact same problem! U got any solution??
I had same problem and battery usage shows the same. I wrote post what i tried. At the end, problem was with battery.

Weird camera fail on HTC M8

Hi,
I have this M8 as a "testing phone" and I have changed roms time to time testing new android versions etc. In past months I have tested few roms, mainly android 11 and 10 versions. Found some things on them that didn't liked so I installed GPE MM back yesterday and them suddenly realized that camera won't work. I mean it won't start at all, it just says as in that picture. When I factory reset/wiped and installed new, not Sense, rom that whole cam app isn't even visible on app list in drawer or in desktop. But it can be found via settings/apps. And while I try to open it for example via gallery it says something like "can't connect to camera".
Then I wiped again and installed back that original MM rom and that camera icon exists again but it won't start but says still like in picture.
So do I have a situation that some camera chip etc or mainboard has suddenly failed without any reason or could this be software problem anymore since that cam won't do anything or even start with any rom?
I haven't dropped the phone or opened for a long time, I haven't even taken much pics with that m8 so it's quite weird thing. I have done factory reset while changing the rom and sometimes wiped cache, dalvik/art cache and data partitions. Twrp version is 3.3.1-3 it matters.

Try installing the camera application itself, this is how I got the camera to work
