GPS gone - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure what happened.
I was using Jedi x 20. When I first installed there was no Wi-Fi.
I used odin to download a file recommended by dr ketan. That fixed it.
But the rom was buggy. So I went back to cm 11. That was yesterday on my day off so I had no reason to use gps.
When I started my shift today, gps was not working. Kept saying waiting on location. Tried several map apps. No Luck.
Went back to CleanRom ACE. Still no gps.
Ideas?

Problem solved.
Went into hidden settings after going back to touchwiz. Rebuilt NV.

Hi I also lost my GPS. Please advice 1) How to go into the hidden setting and 2) how to re build NV.

You need to be on a touchwiz based bc I don't think you can access the codes from some custom roms.
I have CleanRom ACE stored as a backup on my phone.
Anyway, go to your dialpad, *#197328640#
then go to mainmenu>UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD>NV REBUILD>finish and dont exit menu
wait 30 sec...phone should reboot on its on.

Do you guys know the hidden menu code for note 2 dn3 v5 (kitkat) rom? It is TW also
Thanks!

Hi there,
I've just received an used N7100, which I supposed has an original Samsung ROM, with TW.
Problem is that GPS is inoperant (either with Waze or Google Maps...).
When I follow your instructions trying to get to Hidden setup menu, dialing shows me following message ("Service unavailable. Thank you for reconnecting later. ERR02") after a quick message "Executing USSD code" (messages have been google-translated !).
Is there any other option for recovering my GPS ? Thanks in advance for any reply or tip.

[Q] [SOLVED] Stuck on 1x

Hey, I'm running cm7 and I've been stuck on 1x for only god knows how long. I know there is 3g around because when I first got the phone it worked. After flashing different roms it seems to not want to connect to 3g anymore at all. Why is this?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
call sprint and see if there is an outage
Are you somehow stuck on roam only?
You might need to reset your phone through obtaining your MSL code. I flashed my friend's phone incorrectly in the past before lost his 3G.

I think this may be my problem. I do roam sometimes when I never had before. What should I do in order to fix this?
I am pretty sure there isn't an outage because my friend on sprint has been tooling around on 3g.
I'm able to toggle between the 1x and 4g, but I can't connect to 3g. :-/

Bump.
I'm still having the same issue. Can anybody guide me through getting back to 3G? Would be much appreciated.

+1 .
If I just switched to the stock kernel and then back to the savaged zen one I'm using now, could this fix my error? Just a thought.

I had this exact sh_t happen to me after a flight from Portland to Boston. What I had to do was flash Sense, wipe, then re-flash CM7 (I think it was Deck's ROM).
See if that helps

Eh.. I mighta been usin' Tiamat (this was like 4 mos ago).
This really works!
I had the same exact problem and this worked for me. I found it on goodandevo.net
After following these directions I upgraded to the latest prl and maintain 3g.
'Turn off your GPS. Dial ##3282#, and select Edit. Enter your MSL, then go to Data Profile. Push the menu button, then tap on Restore. Push OK to reboot. Allow the phone to go through hands-free activation, but WATCH YOUR PHONE CAREFULLY AND PRESS CANCEL WHEN IT BEGINS TO UPDATE PRL.'
Found this in the comments here: http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/09/stuck-at-1xrtt-on-your-htc-evo-3d-heres-how-to-get-3g-back.html
Obviously, first you will have to flash a ROM that has working EPST, after restoring 3g, it should hold thru all following flashes.
I have this problem occur on CM7 randomly as well. I just turn off mobile data for about 5 mins then turn it back on and it seems to fix the problem. Least till the next time.

I've followed your instructions and I read up on that website. I've dragged the two files on to my SDcard and placed the one it told me to in system/app. Rebooted my phone and tried to type in ##3282# and nothing happens. It just dials the number. There isn't an option for me to press edit and type in a MSL code. I press menu and there isn't even an option similar to that. I read up that it's probably due to me using a third party dialer. I am using cm7, so is there a way for me to just show the stock dialer for a second to do this and then go back to the dialer that is set for cm7?

I think the simpliest thing to do would be to flash a stock rom and make your changes and then flash back to your prefered rom. Thats what I did. Flash the stock rom, use EPST and then flash back to CM7. You should have working 3g.

Thanks man! I have obtained 3g and it held through the flash of cm7. For all others who have this problem, just do as his said. The rom I used to flash to properly obtain the correct PRL is located here. So glad I have my 3g back, that 1x speed **** was pissing me off.

Also I tried odin back to complete stock and the problem is still here. I tried flashing almost all the radios and still same problem
Get back to a TW ROM and open up the dialer and type
##72786#
Your phone will reboot, wait until it boots back up. It'll go through a small set up and you'll be prompted to reboot again. After the 2nd reboot you'll be on LTE/CDMA Mode. If you wanna change it open mobile network settings and change it to CDMA only
Hope this helps

[Q] Diag Mode on JB AOSP

I recently tried Slim Bean on my Epic 4G Touch. It is nice, but I get no data. I am flashed to Page Plus, so I know to expect oddities. I have tried a number of modems with no success. I checked my data settings with *#*#DATA#*#* but found that several values were not set. I wanted to try to reset them over diag mode, but unfortunately these scripts are not working for me. I also tried using the Edit button in the hidden menu, but the I receive a "Modem Exception occurs" error.
Does anyone have any helpful info? Some of the TouchWiz roms aren't bad, but I would like to be able to use AOSP and still have data.

Use a cm10 rom from around March of last year. I use wild for the night by dastin.
Then there are scripts you can run in a terminal. That's how I always do it at least.

The process Com.android.phone has stopped in dialer after unlock

After the sim unlock on the dialer every time I'm trying to call a number I get this error.
This doesn't happen when I call. A contact thru the "call log" so basically I can't call anyone. I can call people only if they call me and are in call log.
Any help?
I've tried:
restarting
Clear cache in phone app
Get a new dialer app.
No use. Any advise?

I believe this is because you need to add a 1 to your numbers before calling. Its random why. Some people have to, others don't. I suspect it's related to carriers. If that is your problem, use this app to add a 1 to all your contacts. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maplekeycompany.apps.numberfixer

Yep thanks. That did the trick.
Also do you happen to know if this rooted phone will lose root or the unlock if I do a factory restore?
Stock Rom. No custom recovery. Did both local and permanent unlock.

You need to make changes in the build.prop file. check this thread out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798566 and make the changes in the build.prop file. had the same problem, got it solved with these changes.
