HELP : Get the GPS to work again - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello community.
For about 3 weeks now the GPS of my Note 2 isn't working anymore. Here's a bit of the story :
I was on latest Marshmallow RR rom (5.7.4) with working GPS and everything, when at one moment the phone crashed. I made a force reboot (holding power button) and when restarting, for no apparent reason, my phone was sim-locked on my previous carrier.
I've contacted the carrier to get a sim-unlock code, but it wasn't accepted. I had to flash an original firmware to unlock by code, then re-flash a custom rom.
I've decided to switch to Nougat RR (5.8.x), everything was working fine, at least that what I thought. When about 1 week and half later I needed to use the GPS, it didn't manage to get a gps fix, and could locate only by the wifi or gsm networks. No very usefull for car navigation ...
Since then, I tried flashing many things to get it work :
- flashing aicp boot.img to fix GPS on RR rom : didn't work
- flashing AICP (12.1) full rom : didn't work
- flashing an original firmware ( tried N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_XEF, N7100XXUFPF1_N7100FTMFPE2_FTM and N7100XXUFNI2_N7100BOGFNI1_BOG ) : didn't work
- applying GPS Fixer zip (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455885) to AICP : didn't work
I'm currently running on AICP with FPE2 firmware, and GPS don't fix.
I have no more ideas on what I should do to make the thing work, please help me :crying:

I'm back ...
For the ones who read my post, sorry for wasting your time ... it seams that the GPS was working ...
I gave some tries yesterday and it got a position. Seams like I didn't test in correct areas and it couldn't receive any signal ...
Well, now everything is good
Is it possible to remove this, kind of, useless thread now ?

NFC does not initiate after returning from Cyanogenmod to Stock

good night
a time ago, for curiosity I wanted to prove a rom kitkat of Cyanogenmod 11... good, only I her used approximately 2 weeks since the truth did not convince me,
so I decided to return to the firmware of Telcel (mexico) on having installed to him the firmware ... the Wifi did not work already, it was not activated, so I tried to put another firmware of mexico, and I mark myself a strange error, whole, end up by putting the emergency recovery that KIES has
and there I was put by a firmware that is
version of Baseband I9195LUBUAMF3 and compilation
JDQ39. I9195LUBUBNC2
but from there ... the NFC did not work already ... the active thing, and it is deactivated only to 3 seconds,
later the speaker trumped me, send the team to guarantee, and in technical service they always iron the most recent firm, and it continues without raising the NFC
will it be any problem in hardware, or in the change of rom and firmware??
greetings and thank you very much
hello, good day....
to do tests,install Cyanogenmod 11 again, only to see that there the NFC works
and in this custom rom, if it works correctly, the question is, because in that of stock it does not work:S
there is already a thread about the not working nfc issue and a solution to fix this. look into it

Rest everything is ok .
PLease help me ASAP .
Does video recording work on your phone? Because I have camera app crashing all the time after switching to video.
Some Question about this ROM
Hi,
my Ace2 is still running under Stock Android 2.3.6. and I would like to Upgrade to CM.
For me stability and a working phone are more important than having the latest android Version, so my question is - which CM Version would you recommend? CM11 or is CM10.2 more stable? And is the latest version also the most stable one?
Is it correct that the only issue with CM11 is the Live streaming problem and with CM10.2 the memory leaks reported by some users- or are there more problems with these ROMS? A well working GPS is also important for me - is this the case?
And how difficult would it be to go back to stock 2.3.6. if CM is not working well for me?
Sorry for all the question and thanks in advance!

@hackstorm1989
I have the GT-I8160L too.
This ROM specifically i haven't tried yet, but I've installed 2 different builds of NovaFusion CM11 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568105) and now I'm running J-TEAM AOSP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588054).
As TeamCanjica, both these ROMs are for the GT-I8160, but can be installed on GT-I8160L by changing the lines in the updater-script of the ROM (META-INF/GOOGLE/ANDROID/) where it checks the model of the device. I also read that the tee folder (system/lib/) of the ROM must be replaced by a copy of a tee folder from a running GT-I8160L firmware with SIM and carrier services properly working.
I've followed this guide:
http://brasildroid.com.br/showthread.php?t=23729
So, just by checking the updater-script of teamcanjica CM11, i GUESS it could be installed on GT-I8160L through the same 2 steps that i did with the other cited ROMs.
Also, I remember seeing other members running these ROMs on the L version while reading these 3 threads. I really wanna know what exactly differences are between these 2 device versions.
Please anyone let me know and correct me if I've posted any wrong information.
@soraxx
I can´t post in the main thread yet (10 post treshold), but maybe you read this or someone can copy this into the main thread.
I had exactly the same problem (audio but no video picture) and a simple change from stock browser to firefox solved it - Maybe it works for you too.
This should be main thread from now on
Same problem

I don´t agree with your statement that everything is working with the 07/08 build. I am using that build and the camera video recording is definitely bugged.

Switch off screen during calls? Its supposed to turn off screen when you are calling and phone is at your ear, but wake up when you pull away from ear. This to keep your ear from pressing buttons

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882725
and enabled init.d so it's working fine. the problem was that even though i keep the phone clear at a distance the screen would stay off during calls, i tried a lot of proximity sensor apps but no chance. That fix did the trick though, i hope that this would help anybody else who' having the same problem.
P.S. Thanks for the great work, I really hoped this would do it, so i can keep using your rom. :highfive:
Hi,
I'm stuck at boot --> To start Android, enter your password
Wat's that ? Pin code ? Password Gmail ?
My phone reboot in recovery (twrp 2851 BIG), work, and reboot at password ?...
Help please ! Thanks.
Not sure what you have here. I'm thinking you have your sim card password protected. Did you install gapps? If so, then its probably prompting for email and password

Have you installed lollipop before? Well, the pa gapps for lollipop has a different format in how it sets up. It requires you to setup a user id and password. You can skip all that and move straight to the rom, or just install only the ROM without gapps for now

No Luck
Same problem that we were facing with SOKP returns, the rom boots works till the setup shows insert sim card, then reboots and shows android is starting(updating apps) and then bootloops....
But CM12.1 got published at YiRom !!!
Not Working
Not working tested it ends in bootloop every time...
OK guys, back again. The Rom boots up fine.
But unfortunately it has RIL bug. And the problem with reboot during set up is because of wifi issue.
I had flashed the rom without any gapps and the system rebooted normally.
Everything worked fine. But when i tried to turned on wifi, boom, reboot. Keeps rebooting.
So guys, for now don't flash this ROM. Until the bugs are fixed.​
Thanks...
If the original developer for this particular ROM wants to post their own work in one of the development forums for all to enjoy, then they may do so. Please don't open ROM threads in the general forum, especially if the ROM is not yours to begin with.

[CM12.1] Wifi Trouble On Cm12.1 Nightlies

Hi all,
I have had used CM on my z1c since August 2014 and did updates with nightlies quite regularly without any issues. But last Friday, after I updated from
cm-12.1-20150925-NIGHTLY-amami to
cm-12.1-20151002-NIGHTLY-amami
my wifi problems started. Whenever it reconnects to the wifi I see the exclamation point next to the icon, then it disconnects again. It also shows the exclamation point next to the mobile reception icon. But I seem to have mobile data connection via the mobile phone provider. However, wifi is broken, resolving domain names doesn't seem to work.
I cannot downgrade to the last working version either because whenever I try to do that using Cyanogenmod recovery, the phone is stuck in the boot animation for hours so I had to give up.
In addition, I cannot activate bluetooth anymore. Whenever I switch it on, it switches itself off after a few seconds.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be and how to fix/debug/investigate this any further? Where do I start looking? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
BTW: forgot to mention: I'm on cm-12.1-20151004-NIGHTLY-amami now but problem remains the same.

You didn't happen to flash M5 kernel, did you? I've read that it breaks WiFi on latest night lies. Besides that, I've read about various people having troubles with WiFi and BT on some CM Roms, but I haven't experienced it myself. Look through the CM 12.1 thread in 'original development' forum for fixes, etc.
I can confirm that all nightlies from cm-12.1-20150929-NIGHTLY-amami.zip to cm-12.1-20151004-NIGHTLY-amami.zip have issues with wifi and bt.
Currently it is not possible to get an older version than 20150929 from CM servers.
Does anyone have a link to cm-12.1-20150925-NIGHTLY-amami.zip ?

EDIT - sorry, link's dead. I should've checked it first. I would also be interested in trying an older build.

Just installed 20151008, I had been having major issues with wifi EAP previously (think i was on a MAY2015 build), this build's looking a lot better. The app launcher is alphabetized, and toast notifications have an icon from the app that generated them. I haven't tried bluetooth yet - my previous build was very bad with BT, I'm hoping this one's better.
Running 20151010 for over 6hrs now ...
wifi and bt are running stable and it looks like the issues have been resolved
