Hi
few months ago I flashed a custom verizon rom on my galaxy note 2 GT-N7105 everything was fine until I decided to go back to stock rom so I downloaded a stock rom (android version 4.3) and then rooted the rom everything looked fine so I went out to get to my class and I tried to use GPS but it couldn't get a lock after I checked it with multiple apps I found out that it's not that my phone can't get a gps lock but it can't find any GPS satellites I thought maybe it was a buggy rom so I waited for the official 4.4.2 rom and downloaded it hoping the GPS would work but still I have the same problem
And please don't tell me to google my problem or search the forum I couldn't find anything and I've been searching for a solution for about 6 months if anyone can help me I would REALLY appreciate it

Hi everybody,
I got a problem which i've spent days searched all over the internet and tried so many different methods but still no hope. So posting this thread here is the only last hope, please anyone help me?
I recently got a problem with GPS service. Whenever i open the map search for a direction, it works, but it only give me the direction list but not navigation because the phone can't not be located.
And here is the point: I'm using different roms nothing works except LiquidSmooths Roms, But my favorite one is Frosty JB v6.
Please anyone?!
Had a similar problem after flashing 10.1 GPS wouldn't show in the left hand corner I had to get a new phone through warranty although I managed to fix it before returning it by Odin back to 4.0.4

I had a similar problem. There have been a couple of fixes posted. It generally happens when you downgrade from a 4.2 ROM back to 4.1. This is what I did to fix it:
1. Flashed a CM10 ROM (ex. LiquidSmooth)
2. Verified that GPS was working in that ROM (it should be working!)
3. ODIN to stock JB Touchwiz firmware (UVDLJA for TMobile users)
4. Once flashed and on stock firmware, verify the GPS is working (it should be working!)
5. Rooted the firmware and flashed to desired 4.1.1 ROM (ex. FrostyJB)
6. GPS should still be working!
Hope this helps!
I just started having that issue myself. I flashed back to original firmware via Odin. Still not working. Is there an issue with the GPS radia and possibly a fix?

I will confirm that moving from a 4.2 ROM to a 4.1 ROM (with all the necessary steps and wipes in between) will leave you without GPS. As discovered from scouring the various ROM threads, this also appears to be a hardware inconsistency problem (different factories use different distributors to build the same phones) and not everyone has this problem. This might be a problem with all T999 S3's but I do not have multiple phones so I am unable to test or confirm.
Has anyone flashed from a 4.2 back to a 4.1 and still had GPS?
I have done this with multiple 4.2 and 4.1 ROMs. So far, I have done this twice (from different 4.1 and 4.2 ROMs) and I always lose GPS.
Has anyone found a fix or is this a problem that we just have to deal with on our phones?

Hi everybody,
For a while I had been running Wicked rom (version 7 and then 8) without any issues at all. Data was great, wifi was working, calls and texts were made perfectly. Not a single issue as far as I could see. GPS was working just the way I was expecting it to (I use my GPS for navigation on a weekly basis).
I've explored other roms as well and I've never encountered anything serious or out of the ordinary.
Now this problem has appeared recently. Ever since I flashed a 4.3 rom (Infamous V9), my GPS has stopped working. It keeps trying to lock but never does. I've left it on for a long time too, it never locked; It just keeps searching.
I've even tried apps I've seen suggested such as GPS status & toolbox. Nothing I've done with those apps have worked. When I went back to the wicked rom (version 8), gps still did not work. Prior to the Infamous v9 rom, I had flashed the Cyanogenmod 10.2 rom and the gps was fine.
Now, regardless of what I do, the GPS no longer works on any of the 4.2 or 4.3 roms I've flashed.
When I flashed VirginRom (android 4.4), I had no signal on my phone at all, but that was due to my modem. I followed the instructions to odin flash the new modem and everything worked! On that 4.4 rom, everything worked perfect. More importantly, the GPS was working again and I was able to use it for navigation when I went out. I tried to test out other 4.4 roms. I flashed the dandroid google edition and cyanogenmod 11 on this forum. Both of these roms worked perfectly. The GPS was working and it locked within a few seconds.
When I tried to go back to any of the 4.2 or 4.3 roms, the GPS still did not work, even though everything else was fine.
I'm not the techie type of person, compared to so many people on this wonderful forum. I just do my best to follow instructions and learn from what is done ><. Does anyone here know what the issue I'm experiencing is?
Just for some added info:
I guess it's obvious my model is SGH-M919
Baseband changed though. It used to be MDL. Now it's M919UVUEMK2.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you.
Have you tried the app faster fix app? Also, do you have Google maps and earth installed?

Hello I'm new to the galaxy note 2 and just rooted it today. After the root everything worked fine but I've flashed both Omnirom and Gummy and they both work great except for one thing, my service. I cant send messages, call or use my data. there are no reception bars in my notification panel or anything. I can switch back to non 4.4 roms and receive service again. One post said he fixed the problem by flashing the stock 4.3 rom then reflashing the 4.4, even flashed the devil kernel, but theres no luck for me so far. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
update: FIXED through this method:

Hello,
My Note 2 was stock, and I decided to root it because I was having issues with the screen turning on and wifi sometimes not connecting. I used Odin to flash TWRP, installed a number of ROMs including Cyanogen and Liquidsmooth (currently on Liquidsmooth 3.2), and everything works fine now except that Wifi won't turn on.
I read that Kit Kat has caused wifi issues for some people, so I even downgraded to Jelly Bean (CM 10.2), but that did not seem to help. Does anyone know of any fixes for this or alternatively, any Lollipop ROMs that wouldn't have this problem?
[One thing I just noticed when I was double checking that I was on 4.4.4 was that the "About" menu shows my model number as GT-N7105 even though I downloaded the ROM for the SGH-t889. If that means I installed the wrong ROM, I can restore my backup of my stock ROM and start again if needed]
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Just wanted to post that I figured out that if I install Liquidsmooth alone first, without adding google apps, the wifi worked. In fact, I may have just been stupid to install google apps since it appears that Liquidsmooth already had google apps...
But in any case, the wifi stopped working after I rebooted, so I installed Jedi ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-tmobile/development/rom-jedi-source-project-4-4-4-t2895948, booted up, then went to recovery and installed the google apps for Jedi from the same link, and everything has been working great since then.
Hope this info is helpful.

Afternoon everyone, I was hoping someone could assist with this problem, I have a Galaxy Tab 3 7" wifi only, I was running everything as stock inc 4.1.2 firmware, then I was prompted for an upgrade to 4.4.2, I stupidly did this without reading up ! I use to run the Tomtom software on my tab, used it everyday for work, now since the upgrade the tab will not find a GPS signal, no matter how long I leave it, after a few hours of reading and trying different things, cache cleared, reinstalled the app, restore to stock twice (still on 4.4.2) Im at a loss. I have read once its upto 4.4.2 it cannot go back to 4.1.2 as the boot loader is locked ? I am currently downloading a clean instal from Samobile of 4.4.2 to see if that will fix it, installed via Odin 3.10.6.
If anyone has cured a similar problem or can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful
Thanks
John
sort of fixed
Couldn't seem able to find a fix for this problem I had a dabble with my Tablet, installed TWRP, backed up the 4.4.2 stock ROM, found and installed the ROM by Jon Wesley Tranchida - uber cool ROM btw - fantastic boot logo's :good: but alas, the Tablet would still not run the GPS with Tomtom. So I took a risk and found a Stock 4.1.2 ROM from here http://stockroms.webs.com/downloads deleted everything and started again, Installed the 4.1.2 Ultimate ROM, installed Tomtom again and YES, everything works okay :highfive: I really miss all the addons though that were included in the ROM by Jon Wesley Tranchida. I still don't understand why Tomtom won't see GPS or the tablet wont access the GPS on 4.4.2, after 10 hours of reading up.. Although I did read it could be some thing to do with the baseband ? its beyond me lol
