After looking for similar threads and no solution worked, I ask here if anyone has any idea that could help me.
Since a couple of months, my GPS stopped working, it detects satellites but doesn't get a lock on any of them ( see picture ).

I've tried factory reset, flashed Stock 10.5.1.A.0.283, and 10.5.1.A.0.292. Last year I've changed the display with success, but something could get wrong and I'm suspecting hardware failure on the GPS or the antenna ( the C6602 phone was purchased broken for cheap to fix it myself, so service is out of the question... even if there aren't any real or good official support down here on Uruguay )

Fun thing, I have the same issue with my phone. But then again, I had to change my display, too. It was working afterwards for a while, but somehow something died about 3 months I'd say.

Which ROM are you on? And did you try this

while you were on stock?

OMG, thank you!!! The Xperia forums suggestion seems to have worked, as I'm still in stock, now at least is not stuck but it's locking. The Xperia post says it can take a while, but at least now it's locking in at least 3 satellites.
Thank you so much

Hello. The Xperia forums changed URLS and nothing is to be found. Any chance you remember what was the fix 5 years ago?

I really want to take advantage of these cooked ROM's but despite much reading and frustration I have had no luck and am looking for anyone willing to toss a bone to a noob.
Got my "Unlocked Tilt 2" from eBay and love it but it's got the bloated ATT ROM. Tried Hard-SPL (auto and manual ) but it doesn't work. I considered that maybe it's already been Hard-SPL'd to unlock it by the previous owner and tried flashing ROM's directly but it always stalls at the status bar with 0% until timeout.
Any suggestions...please?
You need to post in the HardSPL thread

Didn't get conned, it's a great phone and a great step up from my Hermes. Pic is attached, as is the info from bootlogger screen if that helps.
Thanks steviewevie, I'll post similar on the hard-SPL board.
You have not got hard spl, when you have, the spl say .85 olinex. then you may enter the world of custom OS's.

Problem solved! My advice for anyone else with a used phone (e.g. eBay) is to do a hard-reset before doing anything else. After doing that I installed enablerapinew.cab and for the first time got the black screen. This didn't fix it completely, but I managed to get manual SSPL to work.
Sense 2.5 is really a great improvement!

Just updated to the new 4.4 maps and navigation for Canada seems to be disabled again. Anyone else having this problem??
I just updated my google maps to ver. 4.4 and Navigation is working fine for me. You may want to completely uninstal and reinstall the app see if that fixes your problem.
Works fine in the UK.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I think it's a software switch on Google's side that's misbehaving.

Were you under trees? If so, the GPS on most phones is not sensitive or accurate and tree cover will greatly throw it off. Stand out in the open, not near any trees or large buildings, then compare.

Looks like he's trying to have it locked while in the building - which might also throw it off.

Hi you guys, thnx for answering, ive tried it inside and outside a building... under trees and in a fully open place...
besides, with eclair, it locked completely fine inside and outside a building... since FRF50 im facing this!
Ok, i searched and couldnt find anything like this, so if there's already answered somewhere please point me in the right direction.
Lately, sometimes i've been getting these sudden drops on battery when i check the chart it looks something like this:

Info:
Stock JVT ROM
CF-Root 4.3 Kernel
Yes, i've flashed my phone with another ROMs (CM7.1, JVS, JVT) and yes, i've calibrated the battery. I started getting these even before i started messing with the phone's ROM/Kernel (with the stock unrooted JVH the phone came with).
Is it normal? Is there something wrong with the batery?

That looks more like your phone is doing a reboot. When your phone reboots it uses some battery so the "stats" will show lower after the phone have booted again.
i didnt reboot my phone and i don't really think it rebooted (not sure tho)
Noticed it looks like there was a signal drop at that time? When your phone loses signal it spends a lot of power searching for it, so that could explain it.

That screeny clearly shows a red area in signal line, so certainly signal dropped so it could be the reason for such a huge battery drop in such an instance. Has happened to me before, when I keep my phone switched off for some minutes.

Hi All
Im just join this forum to get help for my Galaxy Note GT - N7000 problem.
My phone getting switched off when Im using my phone continuously for 5-10 mins. After that when Im restarting the phone its showing low battery Signal or sometimes not even start the device due to no charge in battery. When I connect to the charger its shows the charging level again at the current position ( With good amount of charge ).
But Im not facing this switch off problem while Im taking long in the Phone. I have done factory reset but the Problem not solved.
A person from the service center told me that its a software issue and need to reinstall the OS. But it will have Dead Risk. If it stuck during the OS update the Phone will be dead and I need to replace the Mother Board.
Im really surprised about this king of statement, I didn't understand how a hardware can be dead by OS update ?
Any one can help me out with the solution and what need to be done to get rid of this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Buy a new battery.
The service center man ist talking bullshxxx for 50%. No software problem.
And read in the sticky threads here about the hard brick risk when using a Note with Android 4.0.x.
So do not make a factory reset now - until you understand what you are doing.
As said before: this behaviour is a good hint for replacing the battery.

I'm not sure what could cause that problem. I would boot into recovery or fastboot to see if the problem still exists. If it does, this would lead me to believe that it is a hardware issue. To be sure, try installing a different ROM.

It is happening in recovery mode as well.
I'm tempted to say it's a hardware issue since it appears in Recovery too.
Did you ever open up your phone to replace the battery?

yup, 2 months ago.
Maybe open it up and re-seat the cables?
did you get any moisture in there? or drop your phone? it's obviously a hardware issue if it shows up in recovery too. Looks like you busted the lcd display somehow. You'll probably need to buy a new screen.
Definitely a hardware issue. Sorry man.

You can use swappa as an avenue to sell it if you don't want to deal with personal information being given through messaging on here.
