Hi I am running S.rom Marshmallow.
I am having GPS not locking issue or it doesn't work at all.
In Maps if I try to navigate , my location will be stuck at a particular point ( that too off by several metres )while I'm moving. Tried GPS apps from play store , nothing works.
Firmware ,radio , hboot all latest updated.
Does anyone have any solution for this?
Have you dropped your phone or had it repaired?
The first time I broke my screen and fixed it, I accidentally bent the gps pin in and had very poor GPS
I fixed it and then my daughter dropped my phone, the GPS connector completely fell off and I had to resolder
The GPS connector is located by the power button. It's a little gold pin that sticks up and touches the metal casing. It is located at the very top of the phone and looks like a square.
If not a physical issue, check the GPS accuracy settings

Hello,
I'm running the W03 Slim on my Canadian Note II, and almost every time wifi has been disconnected for a bit (i.e. during commutes) the wifi shuts off by itself and refuses to turn back on. Pressing the wifi on-off button shifts the position of the button to "on" but no networks appear. If I leave the wifi settings page and go back, the wifi is back in the "off" position.
This has been happening consistently since I moved to Denmark from Canada about a month ago. Things I've tried, based on search results:
-changing wifi region code to Europe (no option for Denmark or Scandinavia)
-wiping caches
-taking out and putting back in sim card
-taking out battery and letting it sit for a minute before putting the batter back
-re-flashing the rom
Luckily I've found out that the issue can be stopped with a reboot or by switching airport mode on and off, so it's not that bad of a problem. That said, if anybody's got any ideas for fixes, I'd appreciate hearing about them, as I'm worried that I'll forget to check one time while I'm at home and will eat up all of my limited data.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Hey have you found a fix for your wifi problem?
I have the same problem.... started like a month ago and sometimes wifi would just work but most of the time its dead....
I have tried reflashing a stock rom ... and all the AOSP, AOKP, CM11 Roms I could find and still no go...
Anyone have this problem too? I need my wifi !!!!
Edit: ok, it looks like my problem was with the replacement housing i bought on ebay. since i first dropped my phone on a street pavement... the chrome edges were all messed up so in order to replace that, i had to replace the whole housing for the phone... everything looked exactly the same as the original but i guess just a couple millimeters off can make a big difference... took a long time to find the problem... snapping the main board back into the housing and taking it out again....not fun. So if anyone needs to do any housing replacement and you get this problem too, just hit me up with a pm and i'll show you what i did!
Cheers!
Simple fix to wifi.. apparently this phone has a faulty antenna.. bad spring or connector. Slap the back of the phone a few times on yur leg or hand. Antenna is located top back right of phone. Its a quick fix. It worked for me. After flashing n restoring everything I could think of this worked!!! Just now. Or u can search fix note 2 antenna and take back off to clean etc.. b just whack it!
I am having a somewhat similar problem. My Wi-Fi sees saved networks, but does not connect automatically or even remember passwords.
I've been having a strange problem with the backup camera on my JY unit (RK3066 - Malaysk ROM). I use a wireless transmitter to get the signal from the camera to the unit.
In cool weather, everything works perfectly. In hot weather, when I first start the car, I get a black screen with "no signal" until the AC has cooled down the inside of the car a little - then it works perfectly again.
At first I thought that the wireless receiver for the camera may be a little heat sensitive and doesn't work when its too hot. BUT...
The other day (it was hot again) I started the car, and it worked...perfect picture. The head unit booted and suddenly the picture turned black with "no signal".
This behavior makes me wonder if there is something in the software that turned the picture off.
Has anyone experienced something similar?

Hello,
I was having a issue where hu would out of the blue switch to backup picture and get a no signal sign and then on its own go back to normal and do this at random. Turns out the wire i was using for trigger signal and ground and voltage was not big enough. Once I replaced them its working like it should now. That is the only issue close to yours that I have had.

I have read about your problem somewhere hoping to find a hint, however, the switching back and forth works fine in my case.
Ya, I've the same problem. If the problem continues, you can use a power relay.
Hey guys,
After I broke my display a few weeks ago i bought a replacement screen + digitizer and repaired it. I also changed the battery. Everything worked fine afterwards.
Mobile connection, gps, speaker, camera, fingerprint reader, everything. Just the wifi doesnt seem to get a propper signal.
I have to stand right infront of the router for it to find the connection and even then its not stable.
Before the repair everything worked fine. I guess it has to be a problem with the connection from the wifi
module to the antenna? But i cant seem to figure out where the contacts are to check.
All the pins at the backside of the motherboard which connect to the battery case seem alright.
I looked for this problem on and I found a few people who had a similar problem but no solution
other then clearing the network cache or factory resetting which didnt help for me.
Another idea i had after looking for a solution for other phones aswell was that I might have accidentally switched 2 screws around on the upper motherboard because some of those create a connection aswell right? Gonna look at them the next time i have time to open it up.
I have oxygen with twrp and rooted it with magisk if that information is needed but i dont think its a software problem because it was working fine before.
Thankful for any kind of help.
I had some time opening it up again. All the right screws are in the right places and the antenna cable is also plugged in correct on both sides.
Any help regarding where the wifi connects to the antenna at the back of the phone or help in general?
Thanks already
Same problem on my OP3T, I've only opened it to replace camera, earpiece and loudspeaker.
Also bluetooth does not work and GPS is slow to get position.
I don't know what to do. It seems an antenna problem.
Any idea?
I decided to repair my old Moto G5 who had a broken screen at the upper right corner.
When broken, it worked for few minutes and than the screen started to shrink and blink and and disappear.
Today i replaced the broken screen with the new one. Before proceding to remove the old one , i tested the new one by attaching it to the motherboard and it worked very well, no glitches, touch was good, had it tested for a couple of minutes, than removed the old one and placed the new one. Powered on the phone and it worked great. I was able to factory reset it, connect the wifi, test the screen, etc. but after 5 minutes it started with vertical stripes , disapperared and reappeared, flickering and dead.
I noticed that the motherboard was very hot when i removed the battery to shut it down.
When powered on again, it didn't show the screen, but the startup audio was working...
Thinking it wa an heating issue, i put it in the freezer (in a sealed container) and after 10 minutes, i turned it on... and it worked again, letting me test it for another 5 minutes before starting the issues again.
I disabled everything, no wifi, no bluetooth , no sim or sd. The issue happens also in bootloader mode by pressing power+vol- , works for some minutes, letting me brows the boot menu, but if i wait, the screen does the issues again.
Now i have to options :
1) Understand the issue and fix it
2) find someone in Antartica or Artic regions to use the phone at -25 celsius.
Thank You
A chip in your motherboard is malfunctioning. You gotta get it replaced. after 5 mins the problematic chip gets so hot it glitches your whole system. If you have a heat camera look over your motherboard while it is switched on. The culprit will shine like a christmas ball light. Then it's a matter of buying a replacement and replacing it.
If you don't have this type of camera, go to a repair center ( does not need to be official and tell them to check with their camera for the cooker).
Hi. I did not find it by search, but can anyone come across it.
Oneplus 3 - wifi and bluetooth problem. After opening the phone, to replace the power cable, it became bad to catch wifi. Only if near. It is worth moving back 4-5 meters, then the signal disappears and switches to the cellular one. Bluetooth only works very close, 10-15cm. If further, it is immediately interrupted.
On the Internet, I found topics for the same problem. It all started after the autopsy. Who changed the camera, who changed the battery and the result is the same. I still haven't found a solution ... ((((((
I would be very grateful for a hint!
Hi,
Have you resolved this issue? I also have this problem after replacing rockers.

Hello. Upon careful examination under a magnifying glass, I found a downed SMD component in the indicated area in the photo. I don't know if it's a resistor or a capacitor. So I just soldered it directly. And everything began to work as before. The signal to the WIFI chip, which is hidden under the cover, should pass along the path indicated in blue. The contacts of the WIFI antenna are marked in green. Next, you also need to check the components.
