Its the GPS Chipset on S3 Mini!
I feel its the GPS Chipset in the phone thats messed up.
The inaccuracy is because the location data is retrieved from nearby Wifi spots.
Is there an online market where I could get a S3 Mini GPS Chipset.
I am not the expert. But if its the Software (Which I hope is the case)
Does anyone know if a different firmware install would make any difference.
I am using a Android 4.1.2 (XSG) - Which is a United Arab Emirates (Unbranded) Version - Would installing some other Unbranded version fix the problem??
I hope I am making sense.
Cheers,

Have some merci , i'm new here .
Greetings ,alex
If i can , i wanna know how . Thanks
install Samsung Kies on your computer & connect your device via usb-cable with it... then Kies will answer your question
just did that , and samsung kies said : you cannot upgrade your firmware via kies . On short
anyone else?
Im not sure if rooting disables updating via kies..

you have two options:
1. Wait for official firmware update to 4.1.2 for romania.
2. make a complete backup with cwm recovery & try an UK or other 4.1.2 firmware ..... but i don´t recommend it because of baseband differences...
I dont know what changes 4.1.2 brought accept bugfixes, but im kinda dissapointed that they removed water lockscreen and if i got mine on 4.1.1 i think i wouldnt update it until we get 4.2

Why don't you try South East Europe ROM,or generic? Check sammobile, there's plenty of ROM `s. Just make sure you have the correct ROM (if you have 8190N you need ROM with N). I just flashed latest 4.1.2 (BTU) as wanted `` clean `` stock ROM and so far very impressed...

there's no 4.1.2 for south europe , only for 6 countries ( United Kingdom not included )

BTU is UK. Anyway, you have nothing to lose. So give it a try. Do hard reset before and after flashing. Mine is 8190NXXALL6.

We are still waiting for BTU 4.1.2 non N version ,you are lucky because you got NFC BTU firmware.

Why you want root? Give it a few days to see if there's need to modify something.

[Q] SC-05D, can I flash normal N7000 ROM? how to Add new langages?

I have this Galaxy Note from JApan (SC-05D) I need to include spanish language, but I dont know if it would be compatible with normal N7000 ROMs and flashing/rooting procedures.
any idea?
Find out what processor it has, if it has a different one its not compatible.

I should not dismantle this phone, al sure someone here should know which proveedor it uses.
Is there a way to just include the spanish language without flashing the device?

As he said above, you need to find out what processor it uses.

Qualcomm APQ8060
So no chance to use N7000 Roms.
Adding other languages is possible but in these cases difficult (not so much) but time consuming (hurting).
I added Japanese to a N7000 Rom in my Pristine approach.
If you need other languages than Japanese then you bought the wrong device.

Is it gonna be less RAM consuming and improve performance on our S3 Mini? I'd love to help, but I know nothing about porting/coding and such stuff What are the benefits of replacing S3 Mini TouchWiz with S4 Mini one? Sorry for all the questions, but hope you can answer some of them if not all There are devs here that can be of great help to you, just a matter of time 'til they see your thread
S3 mini is'nt updated to stock 4.2.2 but s4 mini is updated.so it would be better to port that on this phone not to rely on damn samsung

For the ram is not a problem because s2 plus have 804 mb Ram
And 4.2.2 is working perfectly
It's not that easy to port to NovaThor based devices since the company suddenly disappeared without leaving any source code.

it is just that I wanted to say ..
A few have tried and most ended up with softbrick. I know of one hardbrick.
Not till today have I seen a rom ported from another device that will work for i8190.
So we should try another phone which has novathor

Yeah, but which phone is similar to the GT-I8190 (hardware) and has 4.2.2 ROM?
Xpera p has novathor u8500 cpu we can port it's rom to s3 mini.another phone ui would be interesting.
Xperia phones are easy to update.. sony too because they haven't lot of bloatware like samsung's knox and other things ..their roms are similar to a modded aosp like cyanogenmod

Hey, the right section for that question it's the S3 mini Q&A
There people knows better S3 mini's firmwares, ask there and not in another device's forum.
Alright, after a little research in the web, i didn't find any official Israeli stock ROM for GT-8190.
But you can install "MoreLocale 2" App in order to make your phone's language in hebrew.
BUT As far as i know, you must ROOT your phone first and only then it will take effect.
for more info how to root your phone, go to GTI8190 section in find out how to do it:]
sorry anyway
Thanks anyway!
