[Q] Which other ROM has functioning GPS beside MIUI?

It seems that GPS support is a widespread weakness in custom ROMs like CM. That is why I was pleasantly surprised to find it out worked on MIUI when I tested it.
I don't know what secret sauce they added to make it work but I'm curious if there are any other ROMs that did the same.
Thanks!

In cm based ROMs GPS is working. If u think it is not working on your phone use GPS status and tool box.

I tested it 3 months ago and couldn't get it to work. I read it is related to the compass not working in custom ROMs. Can you confirm it is okay now? I will be happy to try again.

For example on PA 3.99 it was working (quite slow but it was).
When u are trying to use GPS for first time u shold have internet acces.

I installed your VanirAOSP 4.4.2 but I had no network, the baseband and also the IMEI were unknown. I followed all steps for installation. I used TWRP, and was on a stock firmware when I did the installation. Returned to stock via ODIN and network was back and so was the IMEI. What could be cause of this. It also happened with 2 other 4.4.2 roms. Most puzzled.

[Q] Help! Switching from KITKAT back to Jellybean SONY XPERIA Z

I have a Sony Xperia Z & I want to switch from KitKat to JellyBean.
I did the update this afternoon and my battery drained instantly.
My phone has been plugged into the wall for aroud 2.5 hours and it's only at 27% and its not going down and it's still plugged in....
it's driving me insane...i dont have time to wait a week for it to "catch up"
How can I switch back to Jellybean from KitKat?

Firstly, you should post it in Q&A section.
As for your problem, try a factory reset or repair software from Sony PC Companion or Sony Update Service.
If you want to go back to 4.3, download any 4.3 FTF posted in the general section via flashtool.

NO! Keep 4.4!
Just shut the phone down and reboot again then plug it in again to wallmount. Of course it drains until it stabilizes! Just check battery info what drains it and wait for a few days before switching back.
Must be one of the weirdest reasons to switch back to lower version after 1 afternoon...

Just download the FTF file, put this FTF file in the firmware folder where you installed flashtool (typically C drive)
Then launch flashtool application, select flashmode choose the FTF and flash it. Done.

Did you try with a different charger? Ot might be a charger/cable problem, not a problem with the phone.

Probably Google Services battery drain, I have been experiencing this for a few days now. Not connected to kitkat or the Xperia Z. Phone also took forever to charge, I rebooted and it seems fine for now

i dont think is related to 442, a week ago google services started to drain my xperia s 412 battery for 22h, this happened 2years ago also, google is doing something...bad..

My battery died quick the first time and the performance was very laggy. After rebooting and recharging everything is good.

After letting it completely drain form the KitKat update and recharge it was much better... my phone actually has better battery life than before funny enough! yay!

How is the official cyanogenmod?

Have any one tried the official cyanogenmod for xperia sp? (nightly build)

Ok there is offical cm kernel, with sony logo, this rom is booting and works. There is Android OS battery drain fix so should be ok. This is android 4.4.2 not 4.4.3 yet, works fluid. You can install and try it its safe. http://beta.download.cyanogenmod.org/get/huashan-latest.zip
You can enter recovery by volume up button :3
Antutu test passed without reboot twice, points: 20382 and 16656
2d performance good, 3d medium for now ( 3d performance jumps)
There is updated theme engine.

[Q] Bootloop Problems

hello xda ,
I hope iam right here its my first thread i´ll hope u forgive me for my english i gave my beste
Ok now my problem i have an s3 lte 19305 it was rooted for usually 2 months than i got it to Stock rom
now yesterday my battery was empty i plug it in the recharger and it load i want to start it and it loops in the bootloader only the samsung logo with the blue color was there . i´ll have do a wipe cache a full wip and a new install for custom rom with philz
and it stucks with stock and custom
ill hope u can help me
See ya later
Ps : the start sound fuxx me up .D

You probably don't have a stock ROM. I bet you still don't have Knox and you installed ROM that should have it.
You need other S3 device, and charge your battery with it until your device will boot on it, so you can charge it normally. Then install stock ROM again and it will do.

Looking at ur picture installation was fine. Some ROMs still have problems unmounting system partition once flashing is done.. After flashing wipe data and cache then try to boot
