Hi guys
I dont mean to ask questions that have been answered or sound like a total noob. I have a stock s III with 4.4.2 and the gps is just GARBAGE. Im so mad at it. I saw a smiliar thread on this but my situation is a little different. I want to fix it. Whats the best rom to run on my phone that wont require a lot of work/maintenance. I had the OG epic and was constantly working on it to keep it tolerable before i got this. is 4.4.4 safe and mostly bug free? Please let me know and thanks for the help. Links with instructions or youtube videos are much appreciated.

If you're on the ND8 modem, try NDC. Or vice versa. I'll get back to you with the name of an app that *could* help.
Have you tried in the stock dialer ##72786# and then update PRL and Profile?
Those are about the only thing that might change your GPS performance unless you get into experimental file tweaking, but I can't help you there.
Is it the actual GPS that's the problem or the mobile data? If your mobile data is weak, Google Maps won't work with or without a GPS signal.
Personally, I doubt if any other ROM would make a difference.

I read some crazy stuff about GPS issues on the Web, when they first started being posted on XDA. One being that the issue related to loose screws. Said to take the back off the s3 and tighten the screws in the back (like 6?). Didn't bother to check into it, but stranger things I've seen/heard...

Im stock so idk what my modem is. Ive tried the prl and profile update several times. Its not the mobile data network cuz its ****ty even with wifi. It started acting up as soon as the phone updated to 4.4.2. "GPS" was changed to "Location" and everything related to the two just works like crap. Ive seen a lot of other ppl with the issues.

yes GPS was changed to Location but you have the option to use high accuracy, power saving or only the gps....and you will know what modem you have even on stock if you have sprint its ND8 if you have boost or virgin you have NDC
Ok. I have sprint. And ive tried all those settings. I guess to be more specific. It has no problem finding me. It has problems following me. So itll find me and set my route but when i hit start navigation itll take the arrow thingy that represents u and jump to another spot. Like itll put me in the middle of a field. And it wont matter if im driving or what my signal is. Itll stay in one spot. ive uninstalled app dates. Uninstalled google maps it self. Tried other navigation apps. And nothing.

just look at the additional options part when you make a reply...there is attach files and manage attachments button....and this is on the computer once you click manage attachments you can upload basically any file but some can be "to big" for the file type and wont upload but once you upload the pic press close window text and then submit your reply or preview it just to make sure it's there

I would do what I and others have suggested several times in extreme weird situations like this. Start back completely fresh:
Assuming you have a 16GB SPH-L710.
1. Backup everything you want to keep from your phone and internal storage to your SD card or computer.
2. Download the stock ND8 tar in the development thread (non-original). Extract the tar from the zip you download. Doubly check the MD5 hash of the tar to make sure what you downloaded matches what it's supposed to. You might need to run a search on that thread for MD5 to find it.
3. Download Odin v3.07 and the most recently available tar.md5 of Philz Touch Recovery.
4. Charge the phone full, turn off your phone and eject the SD card. Keep the SD card out for the rest of this.
5. Put your phone in Download mode: hold Home and Volume Down, and press and hold the power button at the same time until you see anything on the screen, then let go of all of them. It should say on the screen to press Volume Up "to continue". Do this.
6. Run Odin v3.07 on your Windows PC.
7. Plug the phone into the PC with a known good USB cable. After drivers load, Odin should show something like COM: 5, meaning it sees your phone.
8. Click PDA in Odin and direct it to the stock ND8 tar.
9. Uncheck Reboot in Odin.
10. Click Start. This'll take 5-10 minutes.
11. After done (Odin will say successful) unplug phone from cable and remove the phone battery to turn it off. Put the battery back in.
12. If you want to be able to root and make and restore backups, repeat steps 5 through 11 for the Philz Touch Recovery tar.md5.
13. If you want to root, boot into recovery (same as booting into Download mode but Volume Up instead of Down), click Advanced in Philz, and click the re-root option.
14. Before you do anything else with the phone including before putting the SD card in or installing apps, test the mobile data and GPS.
If any problems with mobile data, ##72786# in the stock TouchWiz dialer and then update PRL and Profile. That happens sometimes after Odining a stock tar or flashing a ROM.
If your problem is solved I would backup everything from your external SD card that's still removed and reformat it. That has solved some weird issues for myself and others, too.

I read a few other posts about terrible GPS, and it sounded like a bear to resolve. Never had a problem with GPS. Works perfectly (knock on wood). I went back through the posts and someone had mentioned that they fixed it by turning off Google location (in Google settings). They later turned Google location back on and (still) no longer had the problem...
Wondering if you had tried that?

Hi,
My friend thought it would be hilarious to enter my lock pattern incorrectly too many times so my Nexus locked me out. Problem is, it won't accept my google login as correct. I know the details are 100% correct, because it works online, and I have searched everywhere and all I can find is people telling me that a hard reset is all I can do.
However, I am overseas and have been travelling for 5 months, and have over 2000 crucial pictures and videos that I just can't afford to lose. Does anyone know any way at all that I can pull off my media from the Nexus, because once I have them I don't care if I perform a hard reset on the phone. I don't care how complicated it is, I NEED some way to save those images!!!
Any help would be so greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Can't u just plug it in the computer and take em out???
And dude. U should've gotten DropBox. That's what ppl like u should have when having important stuff.
First question. Are u rooted???
If you're unlocked already...
Boot into a custom recovery (power off. Then power on while holding both volume buttons until it boots into the bootloader)
Then navigate to recovery (if you're using a custom one). If not:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
(change recovery.img to the correct file name)
TWRP/CWM/ETC will work.
You should have ADB access from this recovery.
Then use:
Code:
adb pull /data/media/ /SDCARD/
This will backup your phone's SD card files to a C:/SDCARD/ folder.
_______________
NO idea what that s*** means?
Use my guide to get a CWM.img and info on setting up ADB/Fastboot.
No I'm not already unlocked, I never wanted to mess with my phone in case some glitch happens and I lose everything. How ironic. Does any of that stuff you wrote work if the phone is not unlocked?
Also no I'm not rooted. I'm not a very tech-savvy guy, so is rooted and unlocked the same thing..? When I plug it into my computer, normally it would behave like a usb, but because it is locked it comes up with that weird picture of like a small cellphone with headphones, and while it appears in the file explorer it is just blank when i click on it.
thanks guys!!

You aren't using 2-step verification, are you?
Sorry, I'm always skeptical when people ask how to unlock a phone.
How are we sure It's actually your phone ?

Factory resetting wouldn't delete the sdcard it only deletes your Google info and apps. Boot into the stock android and preform a factory reset. This is what it normally does is wipe data which are the apps.

If you go into the settings and perform a factory reset through the settings menu it deletes EVERYTHING off the phone so I think the same can be assumed if you did a hard reset from outside.

Forgot you could do an adb pull of everything. Although he would need USB debugging enabled... which requires unlocking the screen if its not by default.
Isn't there a emergency dialer... has the OP googled for a bypass code maybe?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I actually think the one thing I do have tahts positive is that usb debugging is enabled. I did it like 5 months ago when i bought the phone because people told me it just makes the phone run faster, so i can assume it hasnt turned itself off.
and yeh i have tried absolutely everything, including all these weird tricks i found online such as trying to access notifications during a phone call, or rebooting and as it loads up you try pressing all the buttons like crazy (which doesnt work obviously because Gnexus has capacitive buttons). the only strange hitch i have found is if i open emergency dialer and immediately press the return button, it opens the slide to unlock screen. but from there, whatever i do it just takes me back to the google login page...
thanks for helping guys!

Alright...

However I'm in NYC at the moment so I'm going to take all this stuff to try and find a guy in a computer store somewhere if he could do it. otherwise could i contact you sometime in the near future (could be between now or a couple of weeks) when i will have access to a PC and I could ask you to do it then??
Hi.
ADD. MTsol reported he(she) flashed PRL with QPST without problem so you can use QPST if you have one.
Here's my second thread about PRL writing for our Optimus G with LGNPST.
I'm not sure if I can share the LGNPST here or not so just pm me if you need it.
You don't need root access for this but you MUST HAVE your OG's SPC.
Follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032431 thread and get SPC first.
You can always go back to original PRL by Updating PRL from your OG.
`System Settings -> System Updates -> Update PRL'
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Let's get started.
1. Make sure your phone is Diag mode enabled. (you can find out how to from the link above.)
2. Open LGNPST.
3. Connect your OG to your PC as Charge Only mode.
4. You will see this screen, click PRL/ERI tab then check Write, NAM1, NAM2.

5. Load the PRL file you want to use. (You can find PRLs from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880781
or google it and you can find PRLs easily.
6. Press start.
7. It will ask your SPC.
8. Just wait... Your OG will reboot by itself.
9. Done. :good:
P.S. If LGNPST pops up an error MSG, just reboot your OG once then press ok button.
P.S.S. Dang.. picture size is too big... I'm gonna make them smaller later....

For instance, if you are on Sprint and you have awful 3G data, you can use a Verizon PRL and get much better 3G data.
Caveat is if you overdo it, Sprint can terminate your services/contract.
I have tried everything I can think of to change my PRL to Verizon's. I've followed and read through these threads and just can't get it to work.

if all you need is force roam to verizon network,
Here's another method. this works perfectly for me.
Dial 3845#*970#
Scroll down to the bottom and select IOT Hidden menu
Select CDMA Setting
Select CDMA Preference
Select Band Preference
Change value to Cell only
Change this value to Any if you wanna go back to Sprint network.

Thanks guys. I spend a lot of time at our cabin in the mountains. And Sprint sold the tower we used to use to Verizon. I just need to have an alternative for people to get ahold of me. (Old parents and the kids)
Whether it be with the phone to change, or a simple computer program that doesn't require me to have to look it up to change. Thanks again.
PS. Growing older is not for the weak.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Doesn't Sprint roam on Verizon towers anyway? Why would you need to force it?
Sprint got many calls about us losing service in that area and we were all told it was sold to Verizon and they had no plans to lease it from them. Unless they had more users for it.
So most people switched to Verizon and they all have great service. Those of us still on Sprint, our signal fades from 3g, to roaming, to nothing, all while standing in the same spot.

What options to search for location do you have selected ?
I do have locarion options on all three. Then I have report rtfeom location and location history on. I did disable any of maps locations off and itwas bad as well.
Interesting yhing wasy colleague s have Sprint and with same options and it is twice as mich battery efficiency

Can't really compare devices, they all act different and too many things come into account when comparing battery life.
No I am comparing same device gs iii. They have same options and get twice as much battery life

Having your location access/GPS on will do that for you. Also same thing if you use Google Now.

THe difference between sprint version and AT&T should really be the LTE radio that is about it. they have Wifi on all the time so their radio is mostly standby. mine does the same too. I can not believe - with the same apps - how can Sprint version (2 of them) get twice as much batter as mine !
we all bought the phone the same weekend. I even have AT&T and most samsung services Disabled. Looking at the wakelocks - there is something insanely wrong with way GOogle implemented for AT&T vs Sprint. I guess AT&T version is hogging much more esp with JB
by the way, the same comparison exists for IDLE scenario (bed time)

I agree. but not using google now and location services somehoe defeats JB purpose (apart from project butter
the thing that is puzzling is why Sprint implementation with same or even more options has twie as battery life
i have yet to come across any customization of wakelocks. Does anyone know if we can control these insanely frequent wakelocks? i know there is backitude - but that did nothelp either ;0(

Actually has nothing to do with AT&T vs Sprint phones. Although, if your phone isn't debloated, then yes, it will impact.
But like I mentioned, 2 identical S3 is impossible. The best example to this, one will handle OC/UV and the other won't (that being 1 example outta 100s). Which also makes it that 2 S3 side by side running the exact same thing with the exact same apps and settings will give different stats.

you should have mentioned this at the beginning. a lot of device issues arise after this firmware update. not that this is a guaranteed fix, but i'd wipe the phone. my wife's s3 began having gps, wifi and other issues after the update. boot into the stock revovery to wipe data and cache. of course this will reset the phone but i'd rather take 30 minutes to restore backups/reinstall apps than deal with update bugs for days on end. my wife hasnt had any problems since i reset it. actually, i went a step further by wiping data/cache, flashing the latest firmware via odin and wiping data/cache again in stock recovery. boom...

I did that. I actually tried cm 10.0 and 10.1 before settling back to stock. Since even cm 10.1 (android 4.2) was bad battery how I was afraid if they're was anything in my phone and they're back to full stock after wipe somehow cm 10.0 android 4.1.2 seemed tad bit better

i have everything stock right now - did not see dalvik cache clear option on stck recovery. ?? is that some hidden option on stock recovery? i cleared regular cache and had wiped data earlier when i went stock from CM 10.1
My wife has stock ROM. All I did was load custom recovery (CWM). When she had an issue like this earlier, I cleared dalvik, and it resolved the issue.
I follow this post everytime I install a new ROM. It's a link from Better Battery Stats discussion forum on XDA. It's solved my maps battery drain problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29420959&postcount=7059
So I've been having this kernel wakelock for a while already AND it's been happening even after getting a new note 2 from T-Mobile (using warranty).
Basically I think I narrowed it down to it happening whenever I receive a new notification (missed call or new text) and I don't check it back right away.
This causes the wakelock mdm_hsic_pm0 to keep my phone awake UNTIL I do a battery pull.
Now, this wakelock sometimes also appears randomly, so I'm not exactly sure that the notifications keeping it awake is the only trigger. I am on stock 4.3 but it was also happening on 4.1.2 on 2 different phones. This could also mean one of my apps may be triggering it, but I would like to rule out other stuff before I do a hard reset
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I ordered an extended battery but I would like that to be my last resort.
Thank you in advance.

I got that on my Note 2 too. As you already knew, it was totally unpredictable. One day I got a few minutes out of a few hours of total time. Other days it kept my phone fully awake. I searched and read and asked and nobody seemed to know...
I got an extended battery (6200 mA) and forget about it...
I have (had) similar problem that my note stayed awake all the time. My solution is to manually shut down some apps what I don't use but they run in background like whats up, facebook, blink and more. On top of that a manually shut down all google services, samsung push, and more. I noticed that most of those services are automatically reloaded but note2 can go into deep sleep. Another thing I noticed that maxton browser once is used, keep my note awake even after shutting it down via application manager and I need to reboot my phone to preserve battery.

Hi, thanks for replying. I just received my 6200 battery and, unfortunately I guess I'm going to have to do the same.

I have gotten this wakelock on the last phone I had (skyrocket) as well as my current Note 2 when using most custom roms. It appears to most often be caused by running gentle alarm on my phone all night while the phone is charging. I would check it an hour or two after unplugging to see if the wakelock was there (with BBS), and if it was, I would reboot, which always fixed it. I am currently using the Skynote Air rom for AT&T (a touchwiz rom) and have not experienced it.
Well it's been a month now and I still have the wakelock. I do have a 6200mah battery now but my OCD still makes me check for it and if I see it I will do a system reboot just to get rid of it for a few hours.
I really don't want to have to resort to rooting especially since I don't know if it voids warranty or whatever. I haven't been into the modding scene since I got my note.
Hopefully someone else can chime in. This sucks

Hi!
I had the same issue on DN3 ROM and Devil Kernel 2.3.2 but I found my own solution:
1. Download the newest modem for my device (Vodafone N7105BUUEMK2)
2. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
3. Flash new modem
4. WiFi extended settings, switch to never at standby
5. Disable Google to use Wifi to locate position while Wifi is off
After that, phone is sleeping like a baby!

Hi I remember you provided me with a list of modems for s3 LTE.. Those modems were based on regions.. Should I flash the one for my region or any latest ones?
I remember I had the no imei issue while trying to flash a rom and had to fix that by flashing some modem.. I guess after that I am having this issue.

I've come to the conclusion that it is related to Google services. Sometimes my phone will run at 200Mhz and not deep sleep. I checked BBM and no wakelock present... I changed kernels and same problem. I changed to aosp rom and still had the issue. This is related to Google services on this phone... I'm just going to wait it out until the LG g2 pro comes out... Bye bye Samsung.

So switching roms won't help? I like TW since I have the gear, but battery life is horrid. Sometimes I have to just pull my battery out for a temporary fix after unplugging from the charger. So annoying.
This happened to me when I flashed 4.3 through Odin and then flash Jedi Master x2. Battery was draining 15-20% per hour.
I decided to downgrade back to 4.1.2 following Zephr5 instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2566303 by flashing stock 4.1.2 through Odin. My battery life is back to normal now. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your test. I followed your steps and it solved the drain. However, when I need to use Google maps it takes a while before the phone detects your location with allowing only the GPS to access your location. Though this is the only solution to avoid the drain unless you want to restart it every time you see the drain appear and have ocd like me to check BBS and wake lock detector to make sure the phone is in deep sleep.

Settings/More about device. If you have done everything manually then you can flash another modem. Flash mk2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544612 ONLY flash the mk2 modem. Open Odin, uncheck auto-reboot and load the modem in the phone slot. Put phone in download mode plug it in and flash the modem. Once it pass comes up unplug phone and pull battery. Go back to download mode and reflash the modem. Reboot and you should be good to go.

You need to do some detective work to find the culprit, I had a similar issue once and was able to track it down to the phone staying awake for ever, like 14+ hrs when I wasn't using it.
One was Ipservice, other was wifi on while on data network.
You can find these when looking at your battery history in settings.
Settings - more - battery - tap battery graph at top to see the battery history.
It will look like these samples, here are some before and after screen shots.
Also d/l CPU Spy, it will help track your cpu usage vs deep sleep mode.

That's the battery hog you want to tackle.
Make sure in wifi advance settings that wifi in never on unless plugged in.
If you have it checked off already toggle it on then off.
If that doesn't do it with wifi turned off do a battery pull for one minute, then replace battery start phone and let it sit for a while, then check your battery history and see if it's still running.
There may also be an app or setting in Google location that's keeping it on.

Sure way to get sound back is to go back yo 4.2 stock and root again then flash the mk2 modem only. Don't worry about voiding your warranty. You will be fine till you decide to reset everything.

OK. I'm going to look into it right now and get back to you shortly. I remember other people having the same issue as you. I can't remember exactly how they fixed it but the bootloader is tied to it all. Try flashing the MDL bootloader only. It should be included in the root MDL thread.
