Reposted in the correct forum
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

First if this in the wrong please move. I figured this would be decent spot to post.
Okay so I have the SPH-l710 S3. I was runing 4.1.2 and decided to root my phone. Succesfuly did so. Now about a week after this I found out about the OTA 4.3 update. I had no option to install and learned that I had to be Untrooted to recieve the update. Could not find a stock rom and decided to give up since i am new to this and was unsure if may brick my phone.
I discovered SLim 4.3. I found a build 2 rom wich ran 4.3. This rom can be found at slimroms.net. SO I download it move to phone and reboot in recovery. Backed my stuff and factory reset my phone,. After doing so my phone was stuck on boot.The factory rest not only removed everything including apps and formatting the sd. COuldnt figure out why untill i went back to recovery and found my phone wiped everything. And I mean everything. I removed my sd card ,inserted it in my computer and moved the new rom over. Rebooted again and flashed the rom. My phone booted and was set up. I come to find that interface after this was changed from the stock s3 interface. Looks more like nexus or something. Is this Suppose to happen and why?
The big isuue and question is that my phone is randomly rebooting. I have extremely poor service( I have tried multiple modems And currently using a MK3 modem .not to mentiuon no original app sthat I had once before such as the stock Music app. So as far at that is concered is ther way to restore my phone back to the day I bought it? Or A rom of some sort to fix the uissue. Maybe a patch? Maybe a better 4.3 rom to try. By all means I love my new interface and what I can do to customize it. But these bugs among several other minor issues is bothing me.
Here ar my phone stats as of now:
Android 4.3.1
Baseband: L710VPUVMK3
Kernell: 3.4.66 Cyanogen mod-gcc086c4
Cpu: ARMv7 Proccessor 4(v7)
SLim Version: 4.3 build 2
Build number SLim_d2spr-userbug Jls361 1347 test keys
SElinux: Permssive(Whats this?)
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?

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 everyone. I received my very first Android phone a couple of days ago, a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2. I did some research on the Android OS (my phone came with Gingerbread) and I found out about Cyanogenmod. So today, I installed C11 (found it right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568105) after a lot of sweat and blood... And I got it to run nicely, but I noticed I can't get my network to work. The phone was previously unlocked (I bought it used), and when I first tried my SIM on it, it worked.
When I first had to install CWM in order to be able to install the ROM, I succeeded in rooting it, and I noticed that the phone was still rooted after flashing it (though I don't know if that came along with C11). But anyway, I can't get my network to work; I removed the battery and the SIM a couple of times, but it didn't work. Now I don't know what to do. Could anyone please give me a hand on this? I know nothing about Android. Thanks in advance.
CM11 requires JB (4.1.2) - Sound like you flashed CM11 onto GB (2.3.6)
This can't work.
The thing is that I was trying to install an AOSP ROM (found in these forums as well) before trying with C11, and I wiped the data, formatted the system... So the phone was left without an OS. I didn't just "update" the OS, if you know what I mean. And C11 is working fine except for the mobile network.
EDIT: If I install a clean JB 4.1.2. and then restore to my current CM11, do you think that could solve the network issue?
Again: You need JB! With JB there are also other partitions which are needed to be new (on JB)
And Yes - Data restoring could work - But not recommended.... I would do an clean new install...
Please do not start an discussion... again: You needed JB.. (just to be sure)
Uhm, I never intended to start a discussion, I was trying to explain what I did. Thank you for replying anyway. I'll let you know if I get the network to work.
Sorry - I don't what to sound outrageous... But those questions were asked to many times... Here on XDA ACE 2 section...
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.
