[Q]no GPS fix.. complex issue... - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

can any experts help me resolved tis issue on my gnote...
history:
new -> GB stock rom + root(GPS is good) -> ICS stock rom no 7ipe (GPS is still good) -> 1mth later (GPS intermittent) -> one fine day (GPS no signal at all)-> downgarde to GB stock rom + unroot + wipe (GPS still not working) -> sent to samsung and was told that its a update OTA bug issue -> firmware update by samsung to ICS ( GPS not working) -> update to panadroid + speedmod kernel latest + baseband xxLR1 + wipe + install gps fix etc etc...
have tried all apps on gmarket to fix my gps but none can fix it and have tried opening the phone check the hardware physically but no result... currently running panadroid + speedmod latest + XXLR1 baseband.
anyone have any idea how to fix it issue other than sending back to samsung...
i will wan to find out wats the raw data on my GPSkhardware pls recommend me a software.
sorry for my long story but i believe tat its detailed enough for you guys to help me resolve my problem thanks:good::good:

I dont think there is bug on ICS, as such hardly i have read GPS issue on note. B'coz Note having GPS + Glonass and one of the best device for navigation.
But still you believe that is bug, then why you not hard reset device on GB ROM, later you can update desired ICS.

maybe i will try tat later... its a good suggestion...

hi
yes ur right thats exactly what needs to be done it also worked for me
Didn't work for me. Now on Cherry Magnum HD Update 3. Smooth and very responsive. Everything works!
Stay off from CSL Spice 2.3.4 FB0-318D-0-5012-A03
I own a spice Mi-410. The A03 update seems to have greatly improved battery life (just over 3 days with limited calls, occasional fruit ninja, and data always on in 2G mode)
I started suffering from wake up lag issues on the official spice Gingerbread update FB0-318D-0-5012-A03 all of a sudden. An additional problem is that bluetooth support is very limited to receiving files on the stock Spice GB rom.
Since I had a good experience with the stock Cherry Magnum GB ROM A01 version (except for the lower battery life), I tried the more recent version (update 3) which is also an A03 release. I feel this is the best stock GB ROM currently for the Spice Mi-410. Of course removing some unnecessary bloatware also helps. For example I really do not see the need for nero sync. Also restored back the splash image and bootup animation/sounds from the Spice ROM. Having no issues for the last few weeks.

WellcoM A99's Gingerbread ROM is the most stable one (latest also) available, it's based on 3.18E build
ZERO software bug I've found so far... (assuming touch screen axis inversion & weak GPS signal are hardware problems)

IIRC I used SUT to flash that ROM
Sorry for the confusing statements. The A03 update is pretty good, but I had three issues with it.
1. Limited bluetooth support (try sending files from your phone with bluetooth). Have to use a third party app to deal with this problem.
2. GPS is quite poor. Takes a long time to get a lock.
3. Camera color balance does not work well.
4. Missing Android Gingerbread keyboard. In my opinion touchpal keyboard though better than the Froyo keyboard is not as good as the GB keyboard.
The A01 update which I tried caused issues with the wakeup lag but atleast had a working GPS and proper color balance.
For the reasons listed above I prefer the Cherry MagnumHD FB0-318D-0-5019-A03 ROM to the Spice FB0-318D-0-5012-A03 ROM.

Not sure what you mean by weak GPS signal and touch screen axis inversion. I get a GPS lock (outdoors) within 30s most of the time and within 60s all the time, with AGPS.

yeah, with A-GPS it sure is very fast... it is supposed to
I was talking about the vanilla offline GPS, slow & painful as hell 99% of the time
The vanilla offline GPS can take as much as 10-15minutes before it gets a GPS lock and this I mean outdoors. This is especially true if the GPS is offline for sometime as it has to download the ephemeris data again. For more information you can read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_signals.
Since Ideos X6 variants all use the Quacomm Snapdragon 8255 SoC there should be no difference in the performance of the system compared to say the HTC Desire HD or Desire-S. Any issues (and I have not found any GPS issues with the Desire-S which I tested for two weeks and neither found any with the Spice Mi-410) is likely to be firmware related. I did have GPS issues with the Spice Mi-410 GB A03 firmware which was very stable otherwise.
So likely a firmware issue.
You can also try the GPS Test app from the android market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&hl=en

MI410 Cancer with CHerry A03
Hi,
I have upgraded to Cherry Magnum HD A01, and it was all fine.
Upgraded to A03 (update 3), Battery Life has increased, and Touch felt as good, all was great till last week. Thats when issues started.
Problems:
1) Very slow response on trying to unlock screen
2) Very slow performance
3) Lag in ringtone (As if there are scratches while running a CD)
4) Call answers after 5 seconds
5) ....... Overall runs as if its struggling to survive with Cancer.
I Tried:
1) Cleared Cache (Helped for an hour)
2) Factory Rest (Helped for a day)
3) Reinstalled Firmware Removed Google Account running with new Google Account (Helping so far, aint sure when it start stuggling with Cancer again)
4)Tried to flash with Spice CSL A03 (dint work)
Any help in this regards will help many ambitious impatient users of MI410 like me who rushed to flash by re branding.

can't use wifi tethering and data at the same time

this problem is found since i flashed ics rom
i used to be rocket rom user, everything works great with r rom v22
then i started to use ics, also started to face the problem
the first ics rom i flashed is midtone2.0, everything is fine but the tethering
when data is in use, the tethering will turn off automatically and immediatly each time i turn it on.
however, when i turn off data...tethering runs normally, but it s useless as no network function...
then i reinstall the rom, but nothing changes
few days after i flashed the team rokcket rom, thought i could solve this issue
however it is still the same
then i restored the rocket rom, then the tethering works fine again with data in use
i repeated flashing ics and restoring and wiping and blah blah blah...nothing takes effect
team rocket rom: same problem
midtone2.0 :same problem
chain fire ics repack: same problem
i've go through a lot of threads but didnt find a solution...anyone got an idea?
sorry for my poor eng

All the ROMs u have tried with is based on Chinese leak i9220. So still the ROM is in Beta Stage and need to fix lot of bugs in it. you should wait for proper N7000 leak which is going to be out in next few days.
yes...but just feel so strange as it seems like i'm the only one facing this issue...
i 'll will try other ics leak from other countries then, hope it helps

[Q] ICS: Update or not to update?

Ok.. I've seen posts cautioning anyone against trying to install ICS on N7000.. supposedly there is some issue with Samsung's ICS which could brick the device. I've seen warnings saying that even if someone has flashed the OFFICIAL German or Taiwanese ICS, they should flash back to GB immediately.
So.. what gives? Should we wait for a third ICS before upgrading..? Are these warnings genuine?
Yes its safer to wait for either a solution from the devs or samsung.
I see you are using Liquid Smooth ICS V1.. was that safe to flash? This whole ICS stuff is becoming very confusing. I actually switched from my I9100G to N7000 JUST for ICS, and seems like will have to wait even more! lol
Yes, very confusing.
And where is samsung by now?? They got our money with the device and again with the reparations!
Last samsung device for me.
Ys im using LiquidSmooth ICS Rom, But i had installed this rom before the BRICK BUG came into picture. I am stuck on this rom for now but i have no complaints as its running beautifully without any problems... i'm waiting for a fix and not using the CWM at all.
LP1/5/6 repack
LPY
LPF
all of the above have the bug.
Try using CM9 as it uses a different kernel. And go through thread before installing.
ICS running beautifully on SGnote but this brick bug is just ruining the party.
Ok CM9.. I see that there are many things which don't run well on CM9.. speaker phone etc.. any comments?
Waited too long for a official ics jow waiting again for fixed ics. .
I cant believe samsung made a mess but still i dont see a better android platform then samsung for a year or 2 atleast. .

hello, i've updated my SGN using the german rom, and till the moment i've not encountered any bug, only that the phone is bit slower...
is it recomended that i return to stock gingerbread??
Better stay in GB & wait for stable official/stock ICS. I flash LPY German & CF Root...my Gnote have issue with bluetooth (keep disconnect/fail when sending file) & date/time keep changing itself after reboot...weird!

if ICS works well it is better not to try , don`t flash anything don`t use cwm and everything should by fine, wait for next release of ICS or fix.
but really it is your decision (the risk used ics but also the risk of a brick note when you try back to GB)
J_Kirk better to wait for a stable ICS.
Thanks netoperek.. I've reached the same conclusion myself.

@ the moment is working fine with no bugs @ all..
wi-fi works fine, with no DC, Bluet.. also, text messeging, calls, games, facial unlock, etc
the only thing i think is a bit slower is the phone it self. for example is not as smother as before when playing for example the fruit ninja.
when i get home will do downgrade again and w8 for next release

[Q]GPS problem

I am using the Dark Knight 5.5 ROM with the Devil2_0.94 kernel. I enjoy it but it has a few fatal issues for me:
The GPS doesn't work. At all. I tried A Darky's ROM and it didn't work there either. Tried a lot of GPS-fixing apps. Still no luck. Any tips?
If these issue are unfixable, I would like to ask you guys for a ROM that is smooth, stable and on which everything works. Could be GB or ICS (I would prefer ICS).
Thanks in advance
try again to reinstall this ROM.
I have the big problem with the sound. It doesn't work!!! I always have Silence mode for ringtone and alarm. If i choose the any sound, it works, but after the reboot nothing.
I try to use external software for example Rings Extended but nothing.

I tried it but I don't like...
This is how I always trouble-shoot my GPS problems.
1. make sure gps.conf ntp server is changed to match your country.
2. try a few different modems.
3. turn gps off then on in each test. sometimes my GPS doesn't work first time (in this case there will be no sats showing in gpstest)
Make sure you are in a open area and use angrygps or gpstest to see how many sats you are getting and whether they are locking.
When I flashed ICS I couldn't get any lock until I changed modem (currently using JV5 from the latest JW6 rom. But I also got it to work fine with JVU.
Got bad GPS experience with GB and ICS. With ICS there was almost no sats visible (tried CM9 based ROMs TWICS and Remics-UX). I got best results with Darky ROM 9.5.
