[Q] Traveling abroad and GPS? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Hello!
I'm in St. Martin (in the Caribbean) and can't get a GPS lock for the life of me. Obviously i'm on tmobile so i'm enjoying the free unlimited data and texting. I can pull up maps, they load fine. But i can't get a lock. Other people on the island have phones which get GPS and there are GPS units which function just fine. Some folks here from the US with iphones also get a lock. Am i missing a setting on my phone or something?

I'll give that a shot. I'm on the rom Hyperdrive KK. Will using that GPS fix interfere with the rom in anyway?
Also, I wouldn't have to return to stock or anything right? Just follow what it says from the dialer?

I'm rooted with Locked Bl, I have no intention of unlocking it, And I agree it keeps cutting out and I'm going crazy. I'm at home 98% of the time, so I'm connected to Wi-Fi. Definitely the most annoying thing when it keeps disconnecting.

I've used this"Cross Bread" thing, and it hasn't changed much. The cut out happens less, but still happens.

Copying wifi modules from another ROM doesn't require you to unlock your bootloader. Just download a zip from a firmware that used to have better for you, extract the modules (he already said where to find them) and copy them to your phone (you need to be rooted, but that's not unlocking and completely reversable, just remove superuser if you don't want to be rooted anymore).

[Q] I messed up with Titanium Backup and now it says 4g, but data doesn't work

So I had to get a replacement Note 2 from T-mobile because my first one had messed up sensors or something. When I got the new one I wanted to backup and restore all my apps from the original.I used Odin to flash CF auto root and do a app and system backup. Then I rooted to the new one the same way and did a restore. I apparently didn't read enough about Titanium backup and restored everything including the system stuff.*Now my data doesn't work most of the time. Specifically when my phone says 4g, no matter how many bars, nothing has network access. I can make and receive calls and text messages although calls have been very spotty with reception. However if I have 4g LTE signal then everything works great. Can anyone suggest a fix? I flashed the stock rom again and reset APN settings to default, nothing is different. Side note, I was able to reset flash, unroot and return the old phone to T-mobile. Any help is greatly appreciated
Have you tried a factory reset?

I did do a factory reset after flashing the stock ROM. Both through the settings menu and by booting into recovery. No change.

Am I really the only one that has had this problem with titanium backup? I read a lot before rooting, but apparently not quite enough. Please, if anyone has any ideas or has had this problem, a little help would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to have to send back another phone espevially one that is otherwise perfect. Everything is great when im on wifi or LTE, but 4g gets me nothing. Thanks

I don't think that this video is related to my problem. I can make and receive calls and texts with 4g or lte. However I have no mobile data connection whenever I am connected with 4g. All apps report no connection. When I have lte signal all apps work with no problem. Also my imei number is not gone, it is in there correctly.

Just an idea here. ...
Do you have an Add Block app of any kind? If you do, try to turn it off and see if that is the problem.
I had one that blocked my data, but only on Wi Fi. It took me several days until I found the problem.
Good luck.
Hit my "THANKS" button! Come on, you can do it!
i had similar problem
my settings were set to LTE only in factory menu.
so i would get internet only if LTE signal was available.

Have never had an adblock app of any kind. I know for sure that the problem was caused by me restoring all system apps from titanium backup.

Have you tried flashing the radio?
You would have to flash a custom recovery (recommend TWRP)
I also had that problem on my Nexus 5 for a few days, I upgraded my ROM but forgot to flash the Radio again, and after flashing radio in custom recovery all was fixed, was strange because SuperSU carried over and it was just a delta (65mb) update, must of screwed the radio I guess. All is working now though.
#cjp420 did u find solution, i have same problem
I did not, but I never tried flashing the radio like the previous commenter said. That actually was an idea I had, but didn't try because I asked and people were adamant that I shouldn't do that.
Believe it or not I am still using the same phone still with the same problem. It's not a big deal because I set it to only connect to lte or gsm so it never connects to the regular 4g. Everywhere in and around austin that I tend to go has good lte reception so I don't really miss it. The only part the kind of sucks is that ot switches to E whenever make or receive a call because there is no voice over lte apparently.

wifi tether works with one rom, not another

the wifi tether for root users is not working with the liquid smooth rom just released, but the optimus DE rom works just fine as well as stock. tried reconfiguring it all different ways and mimicking the optimus rom settings I had that worked just fine. not sure why it works fine for one and not for another. any ideas?
just so everyone knows, I'm not a total noob at this. I've had a Samsung nexus S 4g forever, had it rooted for almost 2 years. great phone, moved up to the optimus for its hardware capabilities, but have had some issues with configurations on certain apps. great phone so far, the lg firmware makes it a little difficult to play around with. I've tried wiping davlik, pulling data from my other rom and everything. I went from a 4.1.2 rom to a 4.3.1 rom. i'm wondering if the 4.3 doesn't support the wifi tether? I use the crap out of it and haven't ever been billed for it. its awful handy, and sucks not to have it. tried the trevE mod version too, with the exact settings off my other rom it always starts with errors. if I turn it to NetD it works properly but doesn't show up when I scan to find it. not sure whats going on here?

I think most CM/ASOP ROMs have tethering built in. That's why the app doesn't work.
OpTimuS is stock.

Stock ROMs you have to pay for. Or root and the app.
CM/AOSP depending which one, have a free hotspot built in. I think it's usually in settings>phone or roaming. Somewhere around there on the settings.

Is your device an actual SGH-T889? Have you manipulated the service menus at all (via a dialer code)? Are your APNs correct?

Try a T-mobile TW based rom if you haven't already. Conch Republic, Jedi Master, and Tweaked would all fit the bill. Did you get into the service menus or try to make the device only connect to LTE? Can you complete calls?

Need help, anyone please?

I have successfully rooted my SM-N900T Note 3 and have installed CM11/OnePlus One ROM and it's awesome. The problem I'm having is having a solid LTE connection. Before all of the rooting, my network was perfect. Now when I make a call, it throws my connection into "H" signal and it makes my call quality bad.
Any suggestions or fixes to this? Anyone is welcome.
P.S: I've tried manually setting up a T-Mobile APN and it's done nothing, so that's out of the question.

CyanogenMod doesn't support VoLTE yet. So when you place a call it drops to H...nothing you can do about it besides go back to stock rom.
Thank you for your info on it. I think there's a fix for it though. I have 3 updates for CM, but it won't let me update and tells me update has been aborted. I may have to manually install the update.

I have a note 3 and a oneplus one. The latest cm roms for the OPO, including the under development lollipop cm12, does not have VoLTE.
I figured. Lol. I'll just deal with it.
