GTab 3: poor GPS performance? How to improve it?

Hi people,
I have recently bought a Galaxy Tab 3 7.0, brazilian version T211M with 3G and digital TV.
The idea was to use it as an in-car multimedia and GPS device using Waze. I made some tests using my Nexus 7 2013 for this purpose, and it worked flawlessly. So I bought the GTab 3 to be a dedicated tablet for this.
The thing is: the GTab 3 GPS is nowhere near the Nexus 7 GPS performance. My N7 is able to find three or more GPS satellites and lock position in a couple minutes inside my car's garage (which, BTW, is not underground, it's the building's third floor). And without A-GPS (it doesn't have 3G connection, it's the wifi version). In the same situation, the GTab 3 keeps looking, looking... and nothing. Yesterday I went out driving, and it took 15 minutes for the GTab 3 to finally lock GPS position.
Another funny thing that happens is when I stop, for example, in a traffic signal. The GTab 3 GPS gets confused somehow, it's not sure if I'm moving or if I'm stopped. Its speedometer marks 0 km/h, then 2 km/h, sometimes even 10 km/h, then 0 km/h again, the speed keeps going a little bit up, then down. Again, different from my N7, which was very precise.
As a last test, I put both tablets in my place (I live on the 9th floor), over my sofa, right beside a window and a door to the balcony. Using GPS Status (you can get it from Google Play), I tried to find GPS satellites and lock position. The N7 could do it in a couple minutes. The GTab 3 couldn't do it. I had to go outside to the balcony, stood in its end, and then finally the GTab 3 got a GPS lock. But when I go back inside, it loses the GPS signal.
I'm very disappointed about GTab 3 GPS performance, it really ruined my car tablet experience. But before I sell it and lose some money, I have to ask: is there a way to improve it's GPS performance, so that those issues are gone? Or that's the way it is, and I can't do anything about it?

I recently bought one too, haven't tested the gps yet, but comparing with my Note 3 with AGPS, it´s surely much worse.

Pebble - Connection Issues

Anyone else using a pebble with their M9?
I seem to randomly have issues with the connection to my phone. If I turn Bluetooth off/on it will reconnect ok.
I just got the pebble for Father's Day and have only used it with my M9.
The Pebble is awesome by the way. Big time saver for me.

I don't have any connection issues between my Pebble and my M9. It disconnects when I get out of range and usually reconnects on it's own within a minute or two of getting back in range. I have had a few random disconnects with immediate reconnects (a few seconds later), but nothing that needed intervention to get it to reconnect. My Pebble is one of the original models (it's almost two years old now) if that helps any.

Thanks. I am thinking that the App I was using (Pebble AllinOne) was to blame for some of the issues.

Bluetooth Concerns

I have 2 issues with Bluetooth on this phone. (Verizon version)
First, it does disconnect and occasionally with my Kinova head set. (Never with the M8)
Second, it has horrible range compared to my M8. I put the 10 in the exact same spot on my toolbox at work as my M8 with the same headset and I don't get nearly the same range as before. I honestly could go about 30-40 yards with the M8, I am lucky to get 15-20 with the 10, sometimes it even breaks up just 15 feet away! One of the greatest things I personally liked about the M8 was how far bluetooth range was.
Hopefully there will be an update to improve this.

I agree BT is kinda ****ty. It doesn't totally lose connection to my truck stereo but it starts to glitch out if I handle the phone while streaming music has to be put down to keep a solid signal

that's odd, I cant comment on the range. but ive streamed for a couple hours, while using as a mobile wifi hotspot along side the streaming, while driving on a long drive and it didn't have one hiccup, worked the whole time. also received a couple calls that switched over audio perfectly to the stereo speakerphone and then switch back to music without issue.
BT audio is used everywhere I go in my car, I cant stand normal radio.
I have Verizon version

It could be my radio i have an alpine 265bt but it also happened in my wifes Malibu 2015 on stock radio also. It will stream fine if i just set it down but once i start using the phone will streaming it seems to interupt the signal. Its weird i have to kinda shake the phine to stop the glitch

I've also found the range to be rather poor, and also sometimes connectivity is temperamental about what it will connect with.

BT has worked well for me. At least in my car, it's probably the best sounding implementation I've used to date.
My problems have been with the WiFi - all the problems you guys have mentioned.

BT Power
Another thing I'm noticing is that in the battery-usage stats, BT power consumption is considerably higher than the Screen's!
On my M8, it never mattered whether I left BT on or off as far as battery life was concerned.

FYI Alpine recently released a bt firmware update for my 149 that really helped. I've had excellent luck thru many portable speakers like TDK and SB roar2 but the car was glitchy. Now it's smooth and fast. No issues here

BT loses connection
I have a similar problem but it happens when
1) Phone lose signal due to poor cell signal.
2) When Wi-fi automatically connects (when I drive into my garage).
When this happens internal speaker kicks in. Only way to fix this issue is to disable and enable Bluetooth.

Oneplus 3 Bluetooth issue?

Hello!
I use bluetooth light bulb.
With my Nexus 5 i see the 2 lights.
But with my Oneplus 3 i see only one light.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thank you.

Same kind of issue for me with bluetooth speaker.
It seems that op3 bluetooth is not strong enough.
I'm forced to leave my phone less than 2 meter. My LG reach 15 meters

Strange.
Even at 1 meter, it doesn't work.
With the other it works until 10meters.

Any solution? I'm having the same issue.

The support ask me to send them some bluetooth logs.
Anyway my OP3 is now in RMA.
