How Do I Unroot Or Fix My GPS? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Flashed my AT&T White S3 with CWM 6.0.4.7 about 6 months ago. Always had problems with the GPS working sometimes and other times it finds about the location I'm at but the blue circle is about 20 miles in diameter. Sometimes once it would find me then it would no longer track me down on roads. So I'd really love to fix this issue where I can actually use Maps and not get lost with it. The GPS and everything was working fine till I flashed it. Idk if I went wrong down the road because I tried a bunch of different things when flashing. I tried cyanogenmod, but didn't care for it and reverted back to the stock att/samsung version. Tonight I was trying to unroot and completely go back to stock like a brand new phone but can't seem to figure out how to do that. I flashed using this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486. Still having those GPS issues. No clue why. So can anyone help me fix this GPS issue or completely unroot and put my phone back how it was when I took it out the box?

Sorry for posting in the wrong section! Although I might add that it seems that if I keep the stock version of Google Maps it can locate me perfectly and area is small. If I update, however, that's when the blue circle becomes huge!

GPS fix
This worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880810
There are also many threads about loose screws on the back of the phone and tightening them fixed the gps

Loose screws have never been an issue on the T-Mobile S3. Its very closely related to the I747 and uses the same inner casing, unlike Sprint and Verizon models. The best fix I know is linked in the sticky rollup thread in T-Mobile Q&A. Ill post the link in a moment. Seems a lot of AT&T users are needing it recently. You may have a similar thread here, but im not positive.

Thanks for the help, I don't have the srewedrivers to fit those tiny screws. I used to but I lost it Although I don't think that's the issue. The GPS works fine. I was using it at work after I tried what the other guy said, it worked fine until I got home and as I'm sitting at my computer it has the big 1 mile blue circle. After about 10 mins though it pinpointed me than went back to the big 1 mile circle. However, if I use the stock version of Google Maps, it pinpoints me damn near exactly where I am. So it has to be the app or something. I'd hate to keep it stock, for one it show up in my list of apps to update and the updated version might have better roads and stuff. Idk how to fix this

Did you try the gps fix I linked to? Never caused anyone problems so it cant hurt to try..

[Q] Serious Data Issues

Not sure what caused this or what exactly the problem is so I'll try to include everything about the issue and everything I've tried to correct it. Anyone who can help you will hereby earn my undying gratitude, rights to my soul (may not be much of it left but whatever hasn't been sold or lost, all yours ), and as if that wasn't enough, a modest Christmas (or belated Christmas) donation if anyone can actually abolish the issue. That being said here's what's up:
All started a few weeks ago, like I said not sure what caused the issue so I'll just list everything I did. I flashed a bunch of ROMs, Frosty, Jedi Invasion, Free GS3, and probably a couple more I can't remember. I also was trying to see if maybe I could get better reception at work and better data speeds overall. So I downloaded a bunch of modems from DocHoliday's T999 Modem thread and flashed a few, settled on UVDLJA as it gave me the best service. I also downloaded his aroma modem flasher after that but then still ended up using the afore mentioned modem. I also used his build.prop tweaks. Here's what I changed:
HSXPA= 3
HSDPA= 6
HSUPA= 24
GPRSCLASS= 12
After the modem switch and the tweaks I was getting unbelievable speeds (for me at least). I went from like 7.5mbps download and 1.2mbps upload to 24mbps upload and 2mbps upload. Now flash forward to tomorrow and I flash back an forth between I think Free GS3 and Frosty (applying the build.prop edits every time I switch) and maybe something else and then later on I realize that my data is acting strange. It seems to not kick on. I have to hit stop and refresh a few times and then it clicks on and loads fine. I try to speed test same thing. I try to play a YouTube video, it only plays for like 30 seconds, stalls, goes, stalls, then doesn't start back up. However, I tried to download a new ROM and it dls at like 1mb/s the whole time after taking around a minute to start. The problems gets to where every other time I use my data this occurs. So, I switch ROMs multiple times, no build.prop edits done, same thing. The Jedi Invasion ROM worked better than the rest, for some reason unknown to me, but the issue still occurs. I re flashed all kinds of modems, no solution. Tried the Paranoid Android ROM cuz I wanted to try it. Data hardly ever worked on that. Would get stuck on 3g and didn't like to change to H+. Worked sometimes, but more often, not. Flashed to Wicked v3 and it worked pretty good, but after the v5 update its almost as bad as Paranoid Android. I even tried wiping my data, stupidly I did this before restoring my original nandroid backup, and even noobier erased all my nandroida when formatting data thus loosing it. So basically that's it.
Not familiar with apn's, vpn's, or for that matter much of anything complex either. Like I said though ANY help would be incredibly appreciated. I tried posting in DocHoliday's post but got no response. Also mentioned it in the Paranoid Android thread since that ROM was insanely hazardous to my data. Also mentioned it in the Wicked thread after the v5 update crippled me. Hoping for my Christmas miracle here. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies and Merry Christmas to all!
I want to be your hero lol
Add the following to APN:
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
Good luck.
Bah! Humbug!
I'm experiencing something similar however am on Cm10. My data will act very funny like yours and times out and stalls etc... But only after I toggle data. If I reboot and leave data on and alone it works but then after it acts EXACTLY like what your describing.

Enrique Iglesias is that you? Haven't had much time to test but I applied the settings you listed and rebooted. So far my browser seems to be working much better but I've only been able to use it for like 5 min. Hopeful though. Although YouTube won't work period now. I pull up the app and just get a load screen... Weird, it just almost seems like it doesn't register that it's supposed to be sending and receiving data for some reason. But w/e if that's all that doesn't work I can live with it (I only really use it to keep my little ones entertained in times of need or for a quick classical music fix for 'Em, but I can just dl that stuff and put it on my ext sd). I got my fingers crossed! Once the twins get put to bed I'll test it out more. I thanks!

Yeah, saw your post about it when I was searching the threads, but yeah with Paranoid Android it was downright awful. Didn't even get to stay on it long enough to play around with all the goodies on it . Had a problem with CM with my SG2 where it would occasionally hang like it does now but mostly it "worked" but I only averaged like 3mbps dl, phew. Wish that data toggle deal would be the case for me. Mine just does it regardless though. Hoping Enrique's solution continues to work though...fingers still crossed.

Okay, so I was cruising the Wicked thread from the last couple days and found this from garyx24:
WDCDMA will always give you a 4G data signal unless you're in a place absolutely with no data signal at all. Auto will downgrade your 4G signal to 2G in places of low data coverage so you can save battery. So if you want your 4G to be up even in places where Tmobile gets low signal have it on WDCDMA but if you don't care that you will be downgraded to 2G in low signal spots keep it at auto.
So far using this I've been able to surf my browser np and even use YouTube, although for some reason, only shorter videos, clicked on an hour long Beethoven Symphony and the "More from Beethoven" videos comes up but the video just sits there. Maybe if I waited more than like 30 seconds it would have come up, but who the hell's got that kinda time, right? Think you'd be able to try it and let me know if it work for you. I would like to try out some CM based ROMs and of this works then I'd finally be able to. Again though, only been testing this for like 5 minutes. I did have to erase the proxy and port settings because YouTube still wouldn't load after changing to WDCDMA. Not sure how much battery it'll use either but I've got the 4200 Hyperion so it shouldn't really be an issue, for me at least. Although with the new Wicked v5 its killing that baby in like 12 hours so I may be forced to switch ROMs any way. Gotta try to earn how to diagnose my battery issues now (god I love this site. Unlimited knowledge at the click of a mouse). Was actually trying to do that but the data issue got so bad I had to try to get it situated first and foremost. When you've gotta reload pages over and over digging through threads is just about unbearable. Sorry, way off topic... Anyways, definitely lemme know how it goes it you try this. Thanks.

Sweet! Christmas miracles for everyone! And when you say new as in like yesterday, and your in the T999 threads, does that mean you just got a T999? Cuz that would be another Christmas miracle. I've seen your work before and it's definitely The s**t. imho we've got the best S3 ROMs (at least US variants) and it would rock if we got a top tier themer to add to our amazing devs. .

NO DICE! So the WDCDMA bombed out shortly after I posted. Reverted to your suggestion and it was going fine and then, bam! Went to come check the thread and it took a solid 45 seconds just to load this page. God Damn. I almost wanna just sell this one off and go buy another from like cl or something. Although this annoying little thing keeps telling me that would just be a big bunch of d****bagger so I don't (guess that's like my conscience of something right, what a pain in the A). I mlost thought you struck gold right off the bat. Seems like it worked for uber though. Glad someone got something resolved, lol. Any more ideas, anyone?
What modem are you on...update to newest one. Also I live in Chicago as well and even though they announced us as reformed 4g it is still in process . if you are in a area where they are doing tower work you will notice horrible data but once its finished you will be happy. I suggest you travel around and see if it happens in all areas. It was like that by my work in glenviw for a little while now I get 24-26 download at work so be patient it will get better.
I am using UVDLJA but I've tried them all. Hopefully your right, I live in the western burbs but work right by Midway, and don't really hardly ever get a chance to use my phone during work, as I get absolutely no signal inside (although every other service provider does, but that's a whole nother story). So I'll make an effort to try it around there when I get back. I find it hard to believe though that everyone with Tmobile in my area is having this issue. And it's not just like I'm getting slow data, it just flat out is cutting on and off. Although I'm not gonna rule out any possibilities. I'll swing by Tmobile later this week and see if by chance anyone in the store has any idea what's going on in their company (doubtful I know, but like I said, not ruling anything out). Just downgraded to an older version of wicked. Having slow data but seems a little more stable, so far at least...
What if I Odin back to stock... Anyone think that has a chance a working. Also I've thought back some and I'm thinking that the lidroid 23 toggle mod may have something to do with this. That was really the only addition to evilart1's new version of Wicked and just thinking back seems like most of the ROMs I have been using since this issue started have used it as well. Back on the previous, Wicked version, with only a 15 toggle mod and it occasionally takes a while to load, but for the vast majority of the time it works like a charm. Anyone think that could possibly have something to do with it for some reason?

Just looking for opinions and also a site that you could order a screen from im using my galaxy nexus for the mean time so I'm not in a hurry but would like to get it fixed...... Thanks for all the help in advanced :good:

[Q] [q] sgh-t989 only recognized by pc as "qhsusb_dload"

FLASHED A ROM THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR SGH-T989 THAT CAME FROM MAX LEE [MENTION=4570321]galaxys2rootcom. IT WAS,http://mirror31.downloadandroidrom.com/download/GalaxyS2TMobile/roms/DirtyUnicorns/du_hercules-4.4.2-by_soundsofmath-OC-20140308-0422av2.zip?token=554090288. SOON AS TWRP WENT TO INSTALL I FOUND MYSELF BRICKED BAD AS IVE EVER SEEN, I CONSIDER MYSELF PRETTY SAVVY WITH MY TRUSTY S2, IVE HAD MANY, SCREWED UP PLENTY, AND BEEN THROUGH ABOUT AS MANY SCENARIOS AS POSSIBLE, OR SO I THOUGHT UNTIL THIS LITTLE INCIDENT, AND I'M NOT FINDING MUCH COMFORT IN THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE ONLY PROBLEM I'VE EXPERIENCED THAT WASN'T MY OWN DOING... I WILL SAY THAT GALAXYS2ROOT.COM HAS BEEN VERY SOLID FOR DOWNLOADS WHEN OTHER RESOURCES HAVE NOT, I WILL ALSO SAY THAT I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD ZERO LUCK WITH ANY DIRTY UNICORNS UPLOADS NO MATTER WHERE THEY COME FROM PARTICULARLY FROM GOO.IM. BUT WHATS NEW THERE? NOT SURE WHO CREDIT FOR THIS PROBLEM GOES TO DIRTY UNICORNS, OR MAX LEE, BUT EITHER WAY BEWARE OF THIS ROM IT WAS POSTED IN MAY OF 2014 AND IT IS LETHAL! BACK TO THE ISSUE..... PHONE DOES NOTHING AT ALL IT WAS 100% CHARGED WHEN FLASH BEGAN SO BATTERY IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE. NO VIBRATE, NO BEEP, NO SAMSUNG FLASH, NO ABILITY TO ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE, NOTHING, EXCEPT, IF YOU PLUG TO COMPUTER YOU GET A "UNRECOGNIZED DEVICE" FROM DEVICE MANAGER, THEN IF YOU HOLD POWER, OR VOLUME UP, DOWN, AND POWER, YOU GET A STORAGE DEVICE NOTIFICATION WITH THE NAME "QHSUSB_DLOAD". I HAVE SEEN, AND CALLED MY S2 MANY THINGS BUT NEVER THIS. IF PC CAN RECOGNIZE THAT SOMETHING JUST GOT PLUGGED IN, THEN I AM LED TO BELIEVE THAT I'M NOT TOTALLY BRICKED, BUT DAMN NEAR IT. SO FINALLY MY QUESTION IS .....DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE JUMPED WITH USB JIG CABLE, OR SOME OTHER METHOD?? I HAVE LOOKED, THERE ARE 2 OTHER THREADS MENTIONING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, ONE GUY WITH THE PROBLEM DID NOT GET FAR DUE TO A KIND OF VAGUE DISCRIPTION OF HIS PROBLEM, SO ALL HE GOT WAS INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE WHICH IS NOT BY ANY MEANS MY PROBLEM I AM WELL VERSED IN THAT OPERATION, SO THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE LENGTHY QUESTION..THE OTHER GUY GOT ADVISED TO DEFRAUD SAMSUNG BY DISGUISING ISSUE AS A BATTERY MALFUNCTION AND HE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO UPDATE THE THREAD AND REVEAL THAT HE WAS ABLE TO DOOP THEM OUT OF A NEW PHONE AT NO COST TO HIM, AT WHICH TIME THE MODERATOR JUMPED HIS **** ...UNDERSTANDABLY, WHICH LED TO NO USEFUL, OR LEGAL ANSWER FOR ME. SO IF ANYONE CAN LEND A HAND HERE PLEASE DO I WILL BE SUPER GRATEFUL, AND THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY INPUT TOWARD THE ISSUE.:

[Q] Noise coming from the back of the phone

Hi guys.
I own a G3 32GB International/Unlocked from about a week or so. At first I ran the 4.4.2 stock firmware, until two days ago I was prompted to install the v20e lolipop update, stock too. At first it seemed a bit laggy, especially in the home screen. Yesterday I performed a factory reset, and so far, with half of the apps I used to have, it seems to be working a bit better, hopefully. [That's a brief intro just in case, lol]
So, onto the matter. A couple of hours ago I noticed some static noise coming from the back of my phone, mainly around the power/volume buttons. I hear it when I bring the phone close to my ear, otherwise I don't. When the screen is off, it's either way too quiet, gone at all, or there's a slight repetative clicking sound(maybe from the camera but I kind of doubt that). But my main concerns are when the screen is on - that's when the noise is louder and constant(still have to bring my phone to the ear to hear it, though). Furthermore, whenever I do something on the screen - i.e. sliding, opening an app, etc. - I start hearing this "working mechanism" sound(I couldn't think of a better way to describe it atm), until I stop doing anything - then it just resumes to the constant static noise. My question is - is this harmful to the device? If so, what do I do? Should I worry about this? Has anyone else experienced this "working mechanism" sound when using the phone? What have they done to fix it, if they have?
P.S. - The last thing I remember doing before I noticed the noises is copying most of my old photos and music from my PC to the internal storage. Around 1-2 gigs.
P.P.S. - The sound sliiiiightly resembles a hard drive I think.

Hardrive-type squeal/whir from back of G3
I'm having the same issues!
I have a very sensitive ear so my LG G3 is giving me a headache at the moment.
My phone is brand new--it has been out of the box for a few days, got a full charge, was activated/powered on Dec. 24th at around 11:30pm. So it's been in use less than 2 days. I have hardly any software/apps aside from stock installed at the moment.
I did install two apps this morning before the noise started, so they might be the main cause.
The sound is very much like a tiny hard drive, so I'm thinking maybe one or both of the new apps are running in the background and beating up the poor phone. Just not sure if this is normal for the G3 or not?
Right now I'm having trouble putting up with the sound while typing so I hope there is a way to quiet it down
Hope this helps. I owned my g3 for a few months now. When i first got it. Ive heard the noise. It dosent bother me tho. But that sounds like the cpu going. Then again coud be the ssd. So far i have not had any issues with the phone

Nope. All's running good so far, God bless. Guess the noise is just the processor working or something like that, it's still here.
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app
Highly unlikely it's the processor.
What it could be is a loose capacitor. If it became unsoldered or if it lost some of the soldering, it can vibrate under stress and create noise. See with other G3 phones, if you don't hear it on others - send yours in for warranty repairs.

been meaning to update this. my g3 died lol but it was not the cpu. some reason my antenna went bad. phone still worked with wifi. i got a new g3 via worrenty replacement new phone has the noise.
as for your answer yes the phone was working fine. as for the antenna went bad i think i know what caused it. just keep your phone away from strong magnets. my laptop has a few of those cause itwas working an hour ago when i tried to use it

Dropped Calls

I came form the M8 and never had dropped calls. I have had this phone for 4 days now and have had call trouble at least 8 times. I haven't been using it in any new or low coverage areas. I have disabled HD calling to see if that is the issue. Anyone else having trouble?

I would guess the HD calling is the culprit...depending on where you are at, if your LTE signal isn't consistently strong and your phone is switching between 4G/3G etc the call drops from what I've read. I am in NJ, so most of the state is bathed in 4G....but I definitely drive through some areas that still drop to 3G....I'll test it out over the next few days.

I know this is an old post but I have been having this issue lately and I can't figure it out. I have flashed many ROM's and still the same issue. I popped my sim into my old M8 and the drop call issue is gone. The call always drops at the beginning of the call it is extremely aggravating. I was just wondering if you have figured out this issue? I am afraid s-off may have caused it. I have disabled advanced calling and get the same issue. It is looking like I might have to send it back for warranty but not sure the best way to return to stock since we have no RUU. If anyone can help me with this please do. Thanks

LOL well I have been looking with what little time I have and haven't seen it. Wow that will be a relief. Hoping it will fix my issue. But what about s-off status, can we change it back to s-on? Sorry If I missed it I have been really sick and irritated and it has been hard to focus. Thanks Buddy.

Yes. I posted the ruu up in its own thread. I personally had to return one phone already because volte got cooked.

Expand your search to other sections.
(Or to make it easier you can search all forums, I found the thread by simply typing in "verizon htc one m9 ruu"
It's in general section.

Volte stopped working and nothing I or Verizon did fixed it.
On my 3rd replacement
On verizon, never had issues with dropped calls before in my house/surrounding area (from incredible, rezound, Galaxy s4, wife's iphone) for the past 8 years and now service with my m9 is horrendous. Im on my 3rd replacement from verizon with the same issue. I get dropped calls/missed calls/texts unable to send non stop in my home area and when Im in anything less than perfect signal wise. Sometimes it will take 5-10 mins from when i get in my car to switch from 1x to 4g while my wife's phone and previous phones never were in 1x. Anything I can possibly do or am I stuck with this issue? Not rooted unfortunately. My next step with htc was a replacement through them. Any suggestions?

This phone like many new phones has a single radio. If you start a call on 4g and fall off 4g the call goes. That is not a fault of the phone but moreso the way the death of cdma is playing out.
You may want to find a 4g network extender or get vzw to give you one.
