I think my GPS may be broken! Here's what happened.. I've had the note 4 for a while now with no problems.. Tried out several different ROMs including Infamous, Dynamic Kat, and Hyperdrive. Decided to try the Canadian lollipop firmware which is supposed to be 100% compatible. GPS worked once and then stopped and hasn't worked since. I've tried other lollipop ROMs then went back to KitKat, including Dynamic Kat which is what I was on before lollipop. Still no GPS. Flashed back to stock NK4 firmware via Odin but still no GPS. Even went further back to NIH firmware then did an OTA update to MK4...nothing. So what do you think, is it broken? If anyone has ideas of what else I can do I would be very appreciative, thanks!
Did you do a factory reset when you odin'd back to stock?
Factory reset before and after every time
Maybe the hardware just took a poop.

Thanks, I'll try that. I did try the GPS status toolbox app, after searching for about 10 minutes or so it did lock on to satellites for a couple seconds. So I guess that means the hardware isn't totally broken? Not sure. I'm going to pull it apart and investigate.
When mine became horribly inaccurate I wiped, Odin'd back to stock, and flashed 5.0. It it worked for me, although my Sammy phones have never had the GPS accuracy of other manufacturers.
I'm really tired of hearing "gps signal lost" constantly. When I Odin back to stock, gps seems decent, but gets nasty after flashing any custom rom. It sucks that my friends $50 metro pcs Kyocera never skips a beat, and doesn't think your on the next street all the time. This is the first day I've considered going with a different phone.
I had the same issue losing GPS. Took my phone in to a tmobile store and they replaced it. I am having the GPS signal lost again but not as often. Stock or Roms all do the same.
I can only EVER get a lock outside. Pretty weak hardware.
Never could get a lock on any KK rom, including stock. So frustrating. But after upgrading to LP (PopRocks 2.0), GPS finally works.
My understanding is that the issue is mostly with TMo's 4.4 software, so moving to LP could be what fixed the issue.
I'm not sure about that. I've had Sammy phones since the Samsung Moment, and their GPS has always been sub par. My HTC and Motorola phones were all deadly accurate.
Typically if I'm navigating with my note 4, and take a phone call, or open a browser, I lose GPS signal, and it doesn't lock again until I reboot. When it does lock it often thinks I'm on the next street and tells me to turn constantly.
Strangely, AOSP roms have better GPS accuracy for me.

This is typical of my gps lock. "GPS signal lost" constantly while navigating.
My old Evo would be accurate within 6 feet, not 50ft.
Hi all,
Like any Note 4 owners I was waiting eagerly for the long awaited update of MM. However I have observed few possible bugs not encountered in previous versions :
1. S health can't sync of stored data due to unknown reasons.
2. Homesync, I have tried all possible ways to connect my phone to Samsung homesync but with no success. I had no such issues even when my phone was rooted.
3. Google fit, had a strange behaviour when entering activities manually I couldn't find point (.) while entering numbers.
4. Weather widget the transparent one couldn't update it says network failure but I have tried the other one and then it was fixed.
Did you observed any please share.

N190C:
1. Choppy bluetooth playback when screen is off. Cable headphones seem to play normal so far.
2. Still not fixed weather app (broken animation)
3. UI freezes when there is too much apps open. New apps do not open then, I'm not able to go back to internet browser or music app or any other app - white background/unresponsive screen. The only way is to close them all.
4. Choppy screen unlock, phone almost not responsive sometimes - however usually the UI works smoothly.
Quite serious issues if you ask me. I've cleared the cache but it didn't help.
I've made OTA, and I'm currently not going to reset phone because I'll loose way too much time to reconfigure it including business environment in the KNOX :|
My only issue after the update is that my phone turns off at 4% battery, but I think that was more of a battery problem and calibration might help, other than that no issues at all.
I used bluetooth earphone and no issues even on screen off/on.
Screen lock works smoothly as well as UI.
Wifi works as it should be and my data is much more faster than before.
Screen responsiveness is the first improvement I noticed.
I did factory reset after upgrading. (Been doing this everytime there is a major update.)
Additional:
Rooted and I've deleted some of unnecessary apps.

I'm still on Lollipop and get this error from time to time.... annoying, but not relayed to MM.
Sent from my SM-N910U using Tapatalk
Guys, have you tried factory resetting before or after installing MM? Do the bugs still persist after that?
Cuz android tends to have weird bugs without factory resetting. I remember Lollipop f***ed up my previous device because of that.
Installed marshmallow Poland
didn't perform a factory reset
Every thing fine speed
Excerpt for the fingerprint issue
Will do clear fingerprint data and report back
Edit !!
After clearing fingerprint data same issue happened
And i found that the cause is the*good lock app**
After the phone restarted it removes the app and fingerprint works just fine

I believe some of the issues here is due to not doing hard reset. I always update trough odin and hard reset before and after install firmware
the thing i liked the most is the app opening animation (on nova/google now launcher),wasn't expecting much from this update but everything seems good so far.Screen-off notes and the new s-pen menu are welcome changes(and nice ones). Couldn't expect samsung to implement themes so dont even bother with that
I had erobot rom v.16 with xposed and suemax kernel 1.7.8 installed.
I made a backup using twrp, copied it to my pc and then installed the poland official MM build.
Install went smooth, no issues. After rebooting the phone and starting it up there were no issues on first glance (no factory reset) After that though while i was testing the phone apps started force closing, finger scanner wasnt working, lockscreen effects were laggy, keyboard opened slowly , etc. After a factory reset and a clean install and another factory reset after that , all the issues and bugs are gone for now. Even my battery life is good enough for my needs - i have both facebook and messenger + viber and instagram installed, and we all know those are battery eaters. So far so good, the most noticeable difference for me is the speed in the ui. I feel it being smoother and faster.
Question to guys who they updated to MM
update to MM or keep with Lollipop ???!!! & Why ???!!!
After installing MM Poland I've lost my root. How can I get it back? I need Viper4Android and some Tasker plugins working back P.S> I did full backup under TWRP. Please help. BTW: The overall performance is suprising!
I'm noticing a random fail with S Cover after the 6.0.1 OTA. Sometimes, when I close the S Cover, the screen remains on and the unique way to shut down the screen is pressing the power button.
When this error arrives, the unique way to fix it is to reboot the phone... and wait the next error appearance.
Anyone of you guys are noticing the same problem?
i got my first update notification about update NEM-L21C432B32, id like to know if anyone have had any issued after installing it?
also is there root for NEM-L21C432B32?
Mate it should be Nougat - I think. I am on NEM-L21c432 - I have Nougat, but installed via TWRP (the beta version).
Works like a charm so if like to try go for it I am very happy with it.

to be honest there was huge improvement for gpu. way less dropped frames in heavy games. probs some new drivers for gpu...
I don't have any problem with B132 update, but sometimes and some users (me too) reports higher battery drain. This maybe due to this update may turn on wifi for geolocation even if wifi is turned off. It can be checked in Settings->Advanced settings->Location services, tap bottom Menu, then tap the Scan settings. And there maybe turned on wifi.

Thank you!
I couldn't figure out why my battery was suddenly much much worse than usual, even with very light use. Now it's back to normal - without use it barely drains the battery now! :good:

I look on tmobile official page and there was no mention of oreo update of this phone. I looked at this webpage https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-35970
Can you post your screenshot?
It is indeed live. I have Oreo on one device, trying to go back to stock on my second device and re-root.
For my device (on 26.7), it says it's up to date. They're rolling the update in waves.
Woooahhh..... Can we get a flashable zip file for it?

same here, nothing, and when checking on T-Mobile page, it says it is still on the testing phase=(

TmoNews reports it's being released in waves. I'm sure we'll get it over the next couple days, but I'm impatient and spoiled since I've been on iPhone for the last few years.

For the uninitiated and those who just forgot, is there a dead simple way to install the firmware on a stock T-Mobile Z2 Force using a microSD card, or does it need to be done through ADB? I've already downloaded both files (the 900MB really long filename and the 2.3GB zip file) from the other thread.
Well, I just received the Oreo Update on my TMO Moto Z2 Force and now no one can hear me during phone calls. Phone was working perfectly until Oreo installed and my phone rebooted. Going to try and wipe cache in Recovery to see it that does anything. I wouldn't be too anxious to update until a few peeps have chimed in.
Update: I was able to get my phone to work correctly, but only after completely disabling WiFi Calling. It seems something has broken in regards to WiFi calling. I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work with that option active. I don't use WiFi calling anyways, so no big deal for me, but still should not have happened to begin with.
To be honest, I haven't talked to anyone yet. But my stand by at night went from a 9 percent drain to about 3 percent. I haven't encountered any issues yet. I'm hoping it got rid of the audio hissing mine had sometimes and random audio anomalies in YouTube.
No fair
I have not rooted or anything. I had the update two days ago. Everything works fine with me. WiFi calling no problem.

Those were spin lock errors in the audio driver that were fixed in kernel upstream of 4.4.72-76 so it should have those fixes since it is 4.4.78.
It will still have some of the ipv6 latency spikes that randomly happen on web pages unless Moto cherry picked those net fixes from 4.4.97-106
The audio issues are somewhat solved. If the YouTube video is in the background, it's fine. But the audio hissing is still present if I'm watching the video. It's only in YouTube. I'm considering buying the Google usb c audio adapter to see if it's an issue with the proprietary moto audio protocol.

I assume no. But to find the answer i think you should post in the oreo thread with the question. Few people have flashed orea on their phones so they should be able to answer your question.
So funny story... I own two of these tmobile devices... one stock, one unlocked and rooted. My stock device is still on august security patch and isnt receiving ota updates at all. So I called tech support cuz something is obviously wrong. first, they couldn't comprehend that I was talking about ANY update and not just Oreo... I haven't received OCT or Nov patches even... Then, since they were stuck on oreo what was interesting as the tech support people at Tmobile say that the latest release for our phone is 7.1.1 August patch... which we all know is wrong for several reasons. Needless to say I am not impressed with their tech department...

My standby drain has been the opposite. It's a little worse for me that in 7.1. I went from about 1-2%/hr in standby to around 5%/hr in standby. I've been off the charger for a little over 3 hours today with just 9 minutes of SoT and I'm at 86%. I'm not complaining, it's not bad, but before it was spectacular. Now it's just average.
I'm usually on wifi, that is my usual use scenario. I get around, no joke about 6 hours plus sot. As for my audio issues are still prevalent and now my netflix is a black screen all the time. But overall I'm still happy with the update. If I turn on power saver my standby time tanks lol. I think it turns off my wifi and tries to hold on to my one or two signal bars. I'm debating unlocking bl and rooting, but I really haven't felt a need. I'm probably alot more forgiving of the z2 issues due to I picked it up at 375.
Got mine
1. I use redmi note 10 pro. But for a few days my battery is getting drained like 14-20% when the phone is idle, during sleep at night.
I looked in the battery and performance section. There was nothing serious.
I think there's something running in the background which is hiding itself from the system.
In the router configuration page, I found my device sent heavy packages. I thought to do a factory reset but I was thinking if theres another way out.
So I was looking for a task manager which will show me the background running programs cause I can't find it in developer options.
I worry much and I really can't stop thinking that something is mining in my device.
2. And I got an update of miui 13 but I didn't download the update and I can't find it now. I restarted my device several times.
3. The last thing. In the first phase, the 64 MP shots used to take like 30-50 MB and now its like 5-12 MB. And normal shots were like 7-12 MB and now its 2-3. Its so disappointing and theres also details loss. Also I can't find 64 mp in gcam. And gcam .jpg size is totally fine.
Any way to fix them all without installing custom rom?
1. Happens the same to me since I bought it in May. Could not find any solution yet. Sometimes it loses a lot of charge while idle, sometimes it doesn't lose any at all. I tried everything from restricting background usage for all apps that don't have notifications, resetting to factory settings and even flashing MIUI again. Warranty didn't find any problem.
2. Happened to me too for some updates. Got the notification then it disappeared.
3. No idea.
It is so frustrating having this kind of a package only to screw it up with a bad software. Still regret buying this phone.

1. Sorry to say, but the only way i solved it is with flashing a custom kernel. VantomKernel worked the best. From 20% battery drain overnight to 3%. YukiKernel works too, but has an error message every time you reboot the phone.
