I had problems on 4.3 but haven't had any problems since I upgraded to kitkat. If you're still on 4.3 try flashing the fix in this thread
GPS toolbox apps might also help like GPS Status & Toolbox or GPS Fix...but I think those just speed up the GPS connection they don't really "fix" anything

This thread might be able to help...it's a little old but I think it covers everything that everyone has tried to fix GPS issues
Another possibility is it's a hardware problem which you might be able to fix yourself following instructions here
Past sending it in for repair I'm out of ideas maybe someone else can be more helpful here
I have heard the newest maps messed stuff up. Try uninstalling the update or find one apk and see if that fixes

nuclear option is reflash your ROM (factory reset for stock if you don't want to mess with Odin) and see if that fixes it...

If you got it through AT&T a warranty exchange should be pretty quick but your call! I don't think I'd last more than a couple of days without GPS :laugh:
No I bought it out right
Waiting for the new note 4 to do a contract so get a discount on it

Welcome back!!! I've found several ROM's that have great GPS. Not 100% but good enough for me.
I get a fairly quick lock on my stock ROM. I got one inside last night, so I certainly can't complain about GPS issues.
My captivate from rogers has never had any gps issues

If u r planning to get the refurb pieces or current versions, Samsung seems to have corrected the GPS issue. Mine is a refurb I got under warranty exchange with batch code 10.07, and has GPS working fine.

I have a 1007 and have never had an issue with the GPS other than needing ot reset it after a ROM install.
Also hear these things are hard as hell to brick.

It's merely a software workaround and it has some impact on your battery life. The only real fix is to exchange your phone for one without the issue. There's no way to guarantee a 'good' phone ahead of time, so it's your decision if you want to deal with the reduced battery life or chance going through multiple exchanges until you get a working phone.

Call AT&T can arrange for a replacement. I've done it, a ton of other people have done it, and it's not a pain in the butt at all.
Hi
Recently bought the ONE. Sometimes my back button stops responding completely for a while. if i try to press the home button at that time, it works. this happens rarely.
My device is just a few days old so i can easily get it replaced.
I wanted to know if this is a software issue or a hardware issue? If software then i guess it can be easily solved by a ROM flash. Else i should quickly have my device replaced.
Please share your experiences/ views on similar defects.
Have your device replaced.......

Have you faced/ seen similar problems? Are you sure that this is not a software problem? My device is so perfect otherwise (no hardware defects) that i am scared to get in to the replacement process and end up with a device with another defect and then replace that again..
I just want to be really sure that this is a hardware problem and it can only be solved by getting it replaced.

If your phone is rooted, then they will not replace it.
So go replace it, safest and best option, you got nothing to lose.
you can always flash a rom after you get a working device.

Maybe yeah. but if it isnt.... warranty voided and irreplacable damaged product is all you have.
Thats why i advise you to play safe.
At least in my country, the offer proper replacements.

Hello,
I wanted to know if you guys are facing the following problems with your sparkle V or android one devices too?
1) The Wifi is stuck on turning on randomly & is fixed only by a restart of the phone. Is this a problem with my handset or android if you guys face the problem too?
2) (Specifically for sparkle V users) on the camera part there is dust accumulating & to be specific before you say that I can remove the back cover & clean it, the dust is inside which can only be cleaned by opening up the phone fully. Should I get a replacement through the service centre?
Please help as I'm worried that my money doesn't go to waste.
Thanks
Running any custom rom? That might be the problem. I'm currently on stock 5.1(rooted and unlocked bootloader) but I'm not facing the wifi problem and neither is dust accumulating in my camera. It might be a problem with your set, so get it checked at the service center.

No I too am on stock ROM & just rooted it. The bootloader is locked
I think I got a defective product. Have you had any experience with karbonn's service centre? Are there any chances they might replace my phone with a new one?

I submitted my phone today to the service centre & I was blown away. It just took 2 minutes waiting time (i expected around 30 mins) & the technician was very cordial. Although for the dust problem he said that it might be coming from the earphone jack & is a "common problem". He'll clean it for the dust problem & install the software again to fix the wifi problem "LOL". I'll get my phone by tomorrow (another unexpected thing).
Still I gave the phone & hope the problem is gone.

Go back to stock to stock kitkat and then reflash again, if the problem still persists you may have received a faulty piece. Also try out as many custom roms and see whether they have same issue and making sure its not a hardware problem.

Ok so I got my phone & I'm really impressed by Karbonn's service till now, last time my experience with micromax was average as I had to wait for 30-45 mins. just to ask how much would the screen replacement cost.
He cleaned up the dust & flashed kitkat. Till now everything's working fine. Should I upgrade to lollipop as previously when I had WiFi problems I was running the stock lollipop downloaded from the forums.

I think you can download officially on Saturdays from "System updates" . Also, what is the problem with your screen? And yes, lollipop is a little better than the kitkat. Also you can try CM 12.1 as its the best ROM and stable also.

Thank you man for your help
So i rooted my new nexus 6 and installed chroma rom. every thing was fine till i noticed a small part of the screen flicker. it was like a black line coming and going as soon as i took it off charging it was fine. this was after i installed the rom there was nothing like this on the stock one. also when i open the camera app i can hear a small click/ crackle sound. this happened in the stock rom too but with the snapchat app. its irritating and i cant find a fix anywhere. and lastly whats with the network issue? it suddenly comes and goes. i checked it and it showe 0dbm and 99 asu?is this common? tried to find a fix but all i got was lots of unanswered threads. as being a student who need to use this phone for a long time can anyone tell me if all this is fixable ? or do i need to get a replacement as im still in my 30 day return period. thanks in advance and sorry if all this issues are already in a post and have fixes just post me the link as i could find it
being a student who needs the use of the phone for long periods of time.. what are you foing moddifying your device. no custom rom will be bug free. even though whtyever bugs dont bother me, they seem to bug you. why dont you just stay stock with root if those issues are bugging you.

I know no roms are bug free, just wanted to know if these are common software issue and not a bad device that i got. And on the other hand i used my s3 for 2.5-3 yrs with custom roms and stuff simply as i enjoy running them and seeing all the amazing stuff people can do with skill that was the main reason i got a nexus
