Gps not working - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It was all fyn. I dont knw exactly for how long it has not been working.
But I last used gps in mid of march.
I was on xxlpy.
I think its not working since then.
I flashed the Indian firmware a week back. It was not working during the initial setup. The icon doesn't appear in the statusbar above wen I put it on.
I flashed a new firmware(Indian) through odin n still gps doesn't work. Does dat mean it cud b a hardware problem?
Plz suggest wat shud I do...
1. Keep re-flashing till it works (I personally dont feel it will work)
2. Go to the Samsung gallery.
Edit: its working now
M so sorry!
From where other than Galaxy S Advance!

change firmware

My Account 2.1, doesn't work on rooted G1 Only Loading

I have a recently rooted G1 and I noticed my T-mobile My Account app no longer works properly. I can get device information, but it stays on loading for the account information, so I can't see my billing or anything else. Does anyone else have this problems?
I had the same problem on 4.0.4. I just installed 1.x instead.
It works on my G1 with CM 4.2.4.
If you can't get 2.1 to work, search for myaccount 1.x (I don't have it anymore).
I noticed this happened to me a day or two ago. I think it's network problems with T-Mobile. I just tried it and it's running perfectly. I have latest Cyn rom

I think you're correct. I've had the same problems in the last couple days. I've also noticed via firefox I can't log in to my.t-mobile.com (temporarily down for upgrades) which is where I'd bet My Account get's it's info.
Mine loads up but it says a non tmobile phone has been detected and it shows account info but not device info
script to fix
I'm using cm 4.2.5 with no problems from myaccount.
Actually the script was for the tmobile phones only error.

[Q] Problems updating and phone going "crazy"

hello
Ok on my galaxy I9000 gt i have some problems when i plug in kies and want to update it says Name:GT-I9000
Curent version: PDA:JM1 / Phone:LM1 / CSC:KM1
And then: This divice version can not be updated.
A couple of days a go it allways said taht i ahve the newest 1 , now they give me this. I`m a noob when it comes to this so can some1 please help me?
My second problem is that after i installed allot of things on the phone ..games etc.. the latest thing it was "Igo my way" if i close the phone and open it again it stays allot with that "s" on the screen and does nothing, then the media scaner takes ages to scan, then the phone works in frames sometimes and sometimes really fast, sometimes i loose signal too,..any1 know what can be the problem ? But the moust important part is how to fix the update problem cuz that is gone fix it i think. and if i have to do it manualy how do i do it and witch version to install? please be patiance with the explinations , i`m really new to android. ty
bump, thx in advance for your help
Did you flash jm1 through odin or something? If you flash an unofficial firmware, that's what kies will tell you. If you want to be able to use kies to upgrade, you probably need to flash back to a stock firmware

No Call, No Dataconnection...

Hi,
i´ve got a (big?) problem...i dont know why..but i cant make and get calls!
even the dataconnection doesnt work...
i have now the wgspolestras rc1 rom...i had tried the cm7...and the..i forgot..
i`ve made a clockworkmod restore...
nothing worked...
so i`ve flashed the baseband from 06.06 and updated the ril from the 06.06
no chance..no call...
what can i do?? i am a bit pissed off, no nice friday evening... -.-
i am new to the baseband & ril..so sorry if there is the answer somewhere...
hopefully someone can help me..
thanks
If nothing works, I suggest you do an NVflash. it's basically a clean flash of the stock ROM, which will clean everything (make sure you packup your apps on external sd card)
link of how to do it and the files you need - http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/
thanks..i will look at this...i hope it will work!
EDIT:
The device is flashing....
after that, there is a stock rom on the device, right?
i have to root it again, and to install romanager with clockworkmod and install a rom?
EDIT2:
NO SUCCESS!!
the lg stock rom has started, i got an sms, then i tried to call....nothing!!
When i call my phone ->its busy...
sending/receiving sms seems to work..
you have to root your phone again, and install rom manager/clockworkmod.
try calling someone else, or try receiving a call. This is the gold standard, if this doesn't work, then there's not much else you can do.
i got a bit shocked!!
but i`ve flashed the newest vodaphone stock rom....
and it worked! (okay the internetsettings are different from my provider)
but that worked too
i am going to root and flash it now...it should work..
EDIT:
Its working...somehow!! Dataconnection is very bad...
i`ve flashed the RC1 from WGSpolestra...i can call in and out, but with data connection the signal is very bad...can i flash new ril and baseband?

just try out other baseband and ril, not every version is working for everybody ...
i`ve flashed the 606 baseband and ril.
but i dont understand why that happens...from now to then these problems..
anyway..the phone is working again..
Same problem..
Hey there,
Ive got the same problem.
I was using the CM Nightly Rom, but just one dat, I got an "X" instead of having any signal.
Dont have a clue why or what happend.
I tried other roms, but All the same problem.
At the end, I tried the NVFLASh, that works, But only with the 2.2 Roms.
Today i put the latest nightly on my Lg, and My signal was gone after half a day.
Weird, Weird...
Greetz
WyCkson.
i think that i found the problem....
wich launcher are u using?
i had used the pro plus launcher, but after a reboot all my widgets are gone (loading problem) so i switched to the adw launcher and no problem any more!!!
the phone works well now!!
How stupid is that....such probem because of the launcher!!!?
hello,
Is it possible it's sim card problem ?
Try with another to see.
bye
i`ve used my card in a other phone..no problem..
No Calls suddenly Don't know what to do!!!!
Suddenly NO Incoming Calls. Knew it the next day when my friend personally came to see.
Also got scolded from company.
Dont' know what is the problem. But 3 to 4 restart helps.
I feel I may be an IDIOT for buying this phone.

WIFI ERROR \ Turnning on \ Wifi Goes To Grey

Hello Everybody ... Am a new member to Xda site but i learned alot through reading your posts long time ago...
anyway here is my problem MY GALAXY NOTE GTN7000 Wifi Is not Working....
Details: I Had The phone since febraury 2012 and it was GB 2.3.6
i Updated to I.C.S 4.0.3 Official Rom and rooted it in july 2012
suddenly in august 2012 the problem started to appear ((( Am Writing Dates so To Avoid the Possibility of Hard Brick or anything because the phone was working great till then )))
THE PROBLEM
1-When I Try To Open Wifi It just Lag and stop responding The ICON GOES TO GREY INSTEAD OF GREEN and stays like that till Reboot and some times stays grey after Reboot
2- when opening wifi from settings tab it says "Turning On Wifi " and stays like that Forever
3- the only Way To restore the wifi icon to white is trying to activate WIFI - Direct
4- Rebooting Used to fix the problem but now NOT
5- Removing the battery Used to fix the problem But NOW NOT
Fixes I Tried
1- Restore Factory Setting & Wipe Cache & Wipe Everything
2- Changing the Rom from (I.C.S 4.0.3 )to (GB 2.3.6 ) to (Paranoid Android ) to (I.C.S 4.0.4)
Sometimes after each format or rom flash wifi worked for 2 hours or even 24 hours normally then problem appear
3- Tried removing Wpa Supplicant ( Helped Sometimes Then NOT )
4- Tried Wifix TO change country code even manually did it
5- Adjusted the Nfram_Semacove i dnt remember the name actually from CC To All ( Worked then later Stopped )
6- Used Wifi Rescue (Worked for a while then Stopped )
7- I Flashed Alot of kernels ((Heared that syiah Kernal Fix this problem but nothing out for NOTE YET )
HELP
I know that many will think that its a hardware ISSUE BUT IF Its hardware then why sometimes it work !!!!!
What i really Think is : Its a BUG Changed some files of the system which are not restored by flashing new ROM !!! for example when i Flashed Roms and Kernels i Found WPA Supplicant unchanged with my router Config !!!!
I SENT THE PHONE TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID WILL CHECK AND REPLY within24 hrs but for sure its hardware and change Board which means 2800 EGP which is the price of new SGs2 soo am sure its a Bug or Software CAN ANY1 Help MEEEEEE

I am also facing the same problem for last one month and tried almost all the options tried by you but no relief. Wifi just works some time and other times it stays greyed. Can any one suggest any other solution as i also think it's software problem.
jesus christ, we are not BLIND!
anyway, i have same issues on sgs2
Same issue
@MOHPHR : I am facing the same issue as you.
I tried several ROMs from Original stock ICS to Paranoid to Crisleko's ROM.
Going into the airplane mode and then turning wifi on used to work, not anymore.
3G Data works just fine, not being able to use wifi is frustrating because when I leave it alone, it connects by itself randomly when I am at home for example.
I have done some extensive research and found an article that mentions wifi hardware problems resulting from ICS update on a galaxy S2. (Google: Samsung Galaxy S2 WiFi Issue BY Shaiful Borhan )
I did use the *#*#526#*#* and got the status: "NotSet Driver loaded [NG]".
Anyone can help please ?
WiFi drivers are not installed properly. Flash stock GB firmware

Hi, I have been looking for days now for a forum that will be discussing this exact problem. I ve had this issue fora month or so now. I have restored to factory settings but it has not solved the problem. My galaxy note n7000 is not rooted nor does it have any special rom. I wouldnt even know how to install them. Where you able to find a fix? I am so tired of this problem, Im even contemplating the possibility of getting a note 2 and selling my n7000. I believe as well that it is most likely a software problem and im wondering if the soon to come jellly bean update could fix this issue.
Ps: after the wifi problem started, ive also noticed freezes and restars/ reboots.
Thanks for your help guys.:good:

@fedetipito I am still considering the hardware issue, although it seems a compatibility issue with the region/country as @fearkillerr mentioned in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436683)
I tried his solutions, none worked. The script one worked, but only once, then the problem kept repeating.
I upgraded to JB 4.2 then downgraded to stock GB 2.3 still the same issue. I am from the North Africa/Middle-East region, although when I was in Sweden in holidays and using a Swedish sim-card didn't have this issue. Any thoughts ? This problem is really really upsetting as we cannot use the WiFi properly. I am seriously considering simply abandoning my Galaxy Note N7000 and go for an iPhone 5, simply because I cannot even sell it (since no one would like a smartphone that doesn't have a proper wifi working).
I am having almost same problem with WiFi after I installed Custom ROM.
I tried only one method and it worked like a charm.
Go to WiFi connections and tell your phone to forget the network you are connected to, then re log. This problem did not happen after that 3 days now. Good Luck.
@Valium10 we initially cannot connect to any WiFi network, so we can't "forget" them. I don't think it is a "wifi network" problem.
" although when I was in Sweden in holidays and using a Swedish sim-card didn't have this issue"
And if you take SIM card out and power-on phone?Will wifi work?

Sometimes no, sometimes yes. It's kind of a malicious bug.
I am also facing the same problem and it seems it is hardware problem. May some dust or something else on the hardware or else we have dropped our phone some problem is there. When I gave to service center they asked that the motherboard needs to be replaced. But they refused to check it without that. I told that first try without replacing any parts and just check whats wrong in this if some repair can be done, but the service center people are so busy 50-60 peoples were waiting in line behind me to give there phones for service. They do not listen anything. They have tried by installing latest ROM and nothing else, that we can easily do it and for that also they have taken service charges.
Please someone tell me where exactly the wifi module is there, so we can open and check the problem ourself.

how can i flash the .bin firmware camera on that thread? maybe this can fix my problem
or anything else suggestion is really help!

i believe ur back camera is faulty. cuz u flash gb n ics still having same problem.
why not u go to playstore n download n install camera make sure ur back camera is working b4 u make a post ?
if ur camera is working n ur phone is root u can just find a suitable camera do a copy n paste on it that's all.
