Hi kart_man, I'm also having GPS fix issues, which I suspect are antenna related. How did you fix your problem? Did you do it yourself, and it's so, could you outline what you did?
Thanks!

Hmm my wife has maximal 4 from 12 satellites and an accuracy from 40 meters. I think it the same Problem

I had this problem after replacing my Xperia Z screen (having smashed it by walking into a table). The fix was slow and pretty inaccurate. I pulled the back off the phone again and took out the GPS antenna, wiped the terminals, jiggled it and put it back in. The GPS significantly improved, going from very inferior to my Nexus 5 to being as good. Prior to wiping the terminals, the GPS performance was the same with or without the antenna inserted.
Last night I fell of my bicycle and my phone took a bit of a knock, and the GPS performance seems to have dropped again. I am still testing it out, but it looks like simply cleaning the terminals isn't helping this time so I've ordered a new GPS antenna (which will take 3-4 weeks to arrive from China).
I will update when I receive and install it in case others find the info useful.

dident work for me
I ordered a gps antenna the big black bit at the top and a antenna for the 3g and network replaced both and it has not made a difference for me??
u any luck

I did the same, and it made no difference (I think). Based on that, I concluded that the original antenna was fine.
I have experimented with different ROMs, different gps.conf files, and a range of other minor things. What I have found in the end is that for one reason or another, the stock 4.4.4 seems to give me better GPS performance than other ROMs. I couldn't say why, but it seems to be the case. I was testing using Multirom, so it is possible that the different kernels used somehow interfered with the GPS performance, but I am by no means sure that was the case.
The performance was also much better after the first lock (which makes sense, because the first time it is doing a cold start so needs to get AGPS data and so on).
In the end, I just keep checking GPS Test (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&hl=en) frequently and looking.
The GPS performance seems *ok*, but the orientation detection in non-stock ROMs is awful (and not amazing even with stock ROMs). I have basically given up using my Xperia Z as a driving GPS because my Nexus 5 is so much better for that same thing.
Actually, the Nexus 5 GPS just seems a lot better overall, for one reason or another. It isn't just the gps.conf because I tried using the Nexus 5 settings on the Xperia Z.

[Q] Note N7000 afterlife? :)

Hello, dear people at xda!
Unfortunately, my dear Note seems to have a busted battery, as when I fully charge it and try to go on internet (3g, not wifi) the phone starts to flicker and turns off after 10 minutes of connection...
I tried reinstalling different roms, but it is defo the battery....
and since it is a 2 year old device, which I was planning to replace some time in spring 2014 anyhow, I am not seeing any sense of buying a new battery for it.... Therefore I will just go for a new(er) device (not sure if Mega 6.3, or Sony Xperia Z Ultra)...
However, I am not sure what to do with my Note N7000... Selling it like this, I doubt anybody would want it... and plus, the exterior has got some damage on corners from falling, grazing, etc...
I was thinking of having the Note N7000 connected to a power source without the battery in, and hooked up to a 15 inch monitor, and mouse and keyboard and set it up as a quick email check, light browsing, etc, machine...
I have seen on the internet some people using android phones like that, even if just for experimenting..
I like my Note very much and would hate to throw it in the rubbish bin... I think there is still some use I can put it to...
Any thoughts?

I would get a new battery for it and give it to someone. It probably has another few years of service in it.
For light browsing on a tv it doesnt really have the horsepower.10 seconds to load a page is too much.
As an e-reader, mini-tablet or angry-birds-device-for-the-kids-that-want-to-play-on-your-phone-all-the-time maybe.

+1 for a new battery, they cost as low as $5 and would allow you to sell the device for a much larger cost / keep using it for some more time.

Help me ! Battery problem

Hello xda team !
I have this best phone about 21 dec 2011 . But in the winter 2013 , i replaced my display because he goes off. . After I replaced my display , my battery level goes down very fastly , like 10h ( in STAND-BY , with all data OFF ) . I stayed like that until yesterday , when I bought a new original battery for my phone .... but there was no change ( . My battery life goes of again in 10h.... Why ? ( Pls tell me why ?
What Can I do ? I need help because I dispear .. :| )
Sory for my bad english... I'm from Romania!
I tried all possible ROMs !

Hi there, just a guess, maybe you bought a cheap chinese (no offence) display which could be draining more current than the original one.

I'm afraid the display it's the problem... Do you think if I replace the display , all will be ok ?

Have you had your display changed or did you do it yourself? No other problems with display occured other than drain? There is a possibility that the display could have been connected not correctly (tie power nors could be oxidised or similar). With the older display, how much battery time die you have with the same usage of phone?

I went to a GSM service to replace my display. I didn't found any other problems.... , but with this (new) display I can touch in just 3 points and the old going 10. With the older display , I reached 3-4 days..

3 touch points are enough for daily use. Let us know, whether battery drain is fixed or not with the new screen.

I have this problem when I changed the screen . I tried a lots of ROMs , and a new battery ... and nothing.. What can I do ? Replace the screen again ? :|

If the waranry is gone and you want to take an action, my advice would be using some tutorials on youtube take the screen off and clean pins with some cleaning product (acetone or pure gasoline), then make sure that pins are smooth, not broken or something then putting the same screen and testing for a few dalys. If the problem persist, then you should change the screen

Ok I'll try this ! And I will post as soon as possible the result. It would be better if I just clean the pins. Thanks a lot !

What do you think about my battery is it normal or no
I use cm7 i dont use any connections( in school) i switch to airplane mode my screen is minimal brightness 15s and it drains in like 2-3 hours of gaming if i come back i see some xda posts take some photos and its 15% left
Does if i buy a new battery 1850mAh it will give me more energy?
What do you think?

If You sau you game for about 2-3 hours then it's normal that battery drains fast. You get 2-3 hours of screen on time + processor and graphics are working at that time. Lėtas be realistic, the phone is old and it's not vert energy efficient nowadays, so i can't tell whether buying a new battery could get you a lot more usage. But you mat never now IF you won't try

Display Touchscreen Verhängung

Hi, i have a weird situation. A few month ago my display stops reacting if I touch it, so I can't use my phone.
After wipe it starts functioning again.
A few weeks ago my phone falls down. My display worked, except a little area in the top left. I use it and since a few days it works 100 % again.
Normally a hardware is defect or not. Can someone explain this? I have bought a new display, but my old one is perfect now.
I'll wait until it stops working again if I'll change the display. But I can't understand this.
Kind regards.

Try increasing the touch sensitivity. My friend had this issue with the Y6 Pro

Dualsim and SD-Card Mod

does the Mod working with a Galaxy S10+ SM-G975F without Root? Pure Stock?
As a time ago, Samsung disable it with a Update in a S9xx and the Mod does not work anymore
just interested
Gesendet von meinem SM-G975F mit Tapatalk

No, unfortunately the mod requires modification of system files which are not possible without root.

okay, thanks. So i will wait for Root atm
has hoped its works with pure Stock, but when its not... can still wait

I was fighting with the S9 and at the end failed. The thing which frustrated me the most was the fact that my blood sugar sensor (Freestyle Libre) was not working with the phone having <70% battery level. This was the major reason for me to go with S10 and now it works at all battery levels. I've found info about this here from other users and they were all reporting this. No solution from Abbott or Samsung, of course. This only happened with the S9, no other phone model reported. The SD card hack also did not work. So I went with the 512GB model of S10 and so this problem got solved so. I traded my S9 in for 400 euro so the damage wasn't so bad since I bought it for around 530 euro. Oh well.... no other flagship smartphone which would still fit in my pockets.

What is this MOD? What does it enable? And can you tell me how it was disabled with an update?
Thanks!
I've been using an adapter like this for my Note8 and would like to use it with S10 as well:
https://www.amazon.in/Asteroid-Hybrid-Adapter-Avails-Micro/dp/B06XZ5TRMV
What it does, it enables one to insert 2 SIM cards and one sdcard at the same time into the sim/card tray and have all the tree cards work simultaneously, without any software hacks.

VASRA,
What phone specifically is working with this mod the S10+ (us or international version [SM-G975F/DS vs SM-G975UZKAXAA])
Can you tell us more about your setup /phone nd if you found any limitations with trying to use this device. You have yours rooted right?

Ok so (combining 2 threads) : Please correct me if im wrong.
From a purely functional stand point the Samsung S10 Plus :
1) The SM-G975F/DS (International ) is essentially the same as SM-G975U (U.S.) [SM-G975UZKAXAA] (aside from $269 price diff)
2) Having the EXYNOS vs the SNAPDRAGON doesnt have any major disadvantages
3) To use 2 sims and a SD at the same time you need to root S10+ phone and get an adapter
4) When you root the phone you lose the Warranty
5) A method to root the S10+ is available​Am i understanding this correctly?
Any comments?

any update on this? thanks
