I was never having gps problems before lollipop update today, but now I am. I'm using GPS Status & Toolbox, and I'm showing no locks, but 20 sats. Before the update, I would lock on at least 9 indoors, and about 15 or more outside, at home. Now it's saying no locks. I've tried battery pull, plus clearing the app cache, and force closing, but it's the same. I also looked at the app in the play store, and noticed it hasn't been updated since late last year. Could it be it's not 5.0 compatible? Is there any other way to check, although I'm seeing the gps icon at the top almost always on now, searching.

Yea. Walked around for a few minutes outside. No change.
Man I'm hoping I didn't jump the gun with this update. I never got it to work on my Note 3, and was happy to finally get it back on the 4.

Did you factory reset or just update over the top of KK?

Just updated over top of kk.
I have had a little success though by doing 2 more battery pulls. I can now get sat fix outdoors, but still nothing indoors. Also, the fix fluctuates all over the place whole standing still (it jumps like 3,9,11,19,13,6). Not sure what that means either. Like I said, I never had these issues before the update.

Since we don't have root yet, and I don't have my Titanium Backup, that means I have to manually reinstall my apps, right?

Well, tried the factory reset, and still no gps indoors. I know that I need it mostly outside, but it just bothers me that I use to get good fixes indoors, but now none at all. At least the locks outside are mostly stable and don't fluctuate like before the reset.

Is everyone able to access them? When I tap it, it causes android.phone to force close. I hope I didn't miss this issue in the forums, or perhaps it is just me? Anyone else seeing this?
Btw, I'm running deodexed stock MC2, with the Perseus kernel and a couple basic mods, like hotspot and 4 in 1 reboot. Thanks
I am able to access them. I am on deodexed stock MC2 with hotspot, but not perseus kernel or 4 in 1 reboot. I almost never get any force closes. and I almost never reboot my phone. I have 309 hours uptime right now, and i have my phone running at 1.8ghz.

Nice! Yeah, I have no complaints about the phone or the ROM either... they rock! I just have that one issue for some reason. I forgot that I also have the hiddenmenu.apk from a previous ROM to allow for changing prl. But that's about it..
lol yep i have that one too. even though i almost never change my prl from the ugly 2000 prl anymore since sprint sent me an airave finally...

Ah ok lol, we have pretty much the same setup then, except for the kernel. Perhaps later I'll try the stock or another one
i think i was getting some force closes a few months ago when i was trying out other kernels, but i cant remember which ones i tried. Its been so stable and fast for a few months i haven't wanted to do anything to mess it up lol
edit... I got this speed test a few months ago too.

i am on completely stock rooted with as few mods as possible because my AllshareCast dongles don't work if my system says "modified" in about phone/status. i think i am even on stock mc2 recovery right now lol (i had to put stock recovery back on to get the status to say "Normal", even with using triangle away... :-/ oh well though, my phone is happy this way lol the only reason i only have 309 hours uptime right now is becuase almost 2 weeks ago i fell asleep without charging my phone when the battery was low :-/

Wow nice! Yeah, I have gotten speeds like that once or twice, there are one or two particular parts of West L.A. here that are really HOT on Sprint LTE!
Anyway, a quick flash of the Saber kernel didn't fix my mobile network settings force close.... I guess I'll try the stock kernel later and see. If that doesn't fix it, I must be missing something, lol.
I finally figured it out! I started thinking about things that I had either frozen or removed with Titanium Backup, and it was Sprint Connections Optimizer! I removed it because I didn't like how it kept turing on wifi when I was out and about, trying to connect to useless networks. I restored it and just kept it frozen, and now I can go I to my mobile network settings.

Okay so I'm posting this on behalf of a friend. He has a TMo Galaxy Note 3. It's stock and not rooted. He is having terrible battery life. This mm-qcamera-daemon seems to be the issue. On his phone, all he has installed is Facebook, Instagram, flappy bird and pages manager app for Facebook. Anyone know what could be causing it? I've own plenty of android phones and I never ran into this issue. Heres a screen shot. Btw, this is with the 10,000mAh ZeroLemon battery I sold him from my old VZW G Note 3. Thanks

Yes sir. Tell him to factory reset and then not load anything and see if it hangs up again. Wait before that tell him to go into setting then app manager then all then find camera click it then clear data. Restart phone. Look and see if it still stuck. Take a few pics. Check again. if it gets stuck again factory reset.

My wife's N900A was draining to empty in less than 5 hours due to this process running. I eventually scoured through Google and it brought me back home eventually to this thread LOL.
I informed her via text to go to application manager and find camera and also clear data. Issue resolved for her. She did not have to factory reset.

Yes, mine's encrypted and the update worked fine.
Is this the software I been hearing about that you can't revert back to 4.4
I wonder how the battery is? I remember I had great battery on the first LP update, then a minor update came and battery went to hell..
dont notice any difference between COC4 and COC5. I dont know have the changelog but nothing noticeable. Not that I was expecting anything with such a minor update.
This is what I found
I can't update. All i can get is "Software update interrupted , software up to date please try in 24 hours". Anybody capture this update so i can push by ADB ? or any other idea ?( i push date 5 day forward and same message).
This update fixed the call forwarding issue between my note 4 and my Gear s. Before this update, going to the phone app, then settings, then call forwarding resulted in a sim card error and wouldn't let me enable it. Now, I don't get the error.

Can anyone confirm odin roll back if we take this update. Anyone?
This update fixed my issues with newly activated VoLTE service in my area. Before I was experiencing issues where my voice would not transmit for about 10 seconds or more and people could not hear me, however, I could hear them perfectly. This was frustrating in business calls. The update remedied this situation for me. No more VoLTE issues even without a factory reset.

All these scared people who want others to take every update and try it out first for them (newsflash... no 2 people have exactly the same usage patterns). I'm sure you could tell me every single time someone posted about battery life, etc and how every update has ruined someone. Those are the extreme exception take the risk let it update. Do a full cache wipe after the update, always a good idea anyways, and deal with it.
90% or more of phones that broke via update are user driven issues. "I'm rooted, I use home made charger cables, have 128 gig worth of apps installed, have my screen set to stay on full bright all day long, and keep my phone underwater, and that update is killing my battery life"
Just got a notification for the new update. Try checking guys.

Is video calling feature??
just happened to check while sitting in a meeting.. started the update and came here for news... currently sitting at 55% so we'll see how it goes.
I think this is the longest I have ever left a phone stock and unrooted..
Hmm. Don't know if it's worth to unroot for this..
Xtrestolite 2.3 has live streaming and app/people edge... As for the icons I use Nova with an icon pack...
Xtrestolite has a video calling too but don't know if it will work.. Never worked for me before...
Only reason I'm not using xtrestolite is don't have VoLTE and WiFi calling... ? ? ?
Very nice update low ram usage and best performance than cof8
Live broadcast is available via the camera app...

With all the problems and loss of features and functionality relating to root, stock appears to be the right choice for me at present, never owned a device for this long (4+ months) without root but with the smooth functionality and super battery life I'm getting, root is something from the past that's not going to hold back or disable my phone.
Great job Samsung. :thumbup:

This is the most annoying issue on this phone. It happens seldom, and the only solution is to restart, but sometimes it doesn't work at all.
I can't find a trigger to it, as I open the same apps each morning in the same order: endomondo, sports-tracker, biko and strava. All of them use the GPS and usually work ok. But suddenly, last week GPS dated started to malfunction and first no satellites in view, then after reboot the problem on the screenshot arises: many satellites in view but no fix.
I tried GPS test and GPS status apps to clear GPS cache, but it doesn't work at all. But sometimes just opening this apps kind of "un jams" the GPS and it gets a fix.
Any idea if this is an Android issue, a Huawei problem and if there is a solution to it?

Bad news, it's back again.
It's not even cloudy.
I've noticed it happens more often in the mornings, at night GPS locks almost immediately. Also, a reboot fixes it most of the times. It has to be something related to system. But what?

Hmmm, i still get problems with the speed but not as badly as i used too, i always leave my gps on so its a warm start, it can take up to 4 mins to download the catalogs from the sats with a cold start, i am afraid the gps will never be perfect ob this phone the best thing is tp try to manage it as best you can, leave it on with gps test and let it download all the catalogs, this will take about 15 mins then always keep gps on, this will help it retain the catalogs, it wont use much battery mine doesnt, this will reduce the lock time, i would also change the setting to autonomous in the setting instead of network assisted and try that.
