GPS Problem - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hi xda-community,
as I cannot explain this problem in english im going to use my mother language german but I'll tryto explain in in english too.
I've got a GPS Problem with your ResurrectionRemix Rom v5.7.1. When I'm out of town my gps doesn't seem to work. Inside town it's tracking normally but seems to be a little bit slow or inaccurate.
Im using boeffla Kernel by @rodman01 by now but the problem is still there if im using stock kernel. I had the same problem in CM13 by @p.a.n on Stock-, Boeffla and agni kernel.
I did manually add 3 APNs but this didnt help.
I tryed GPS Fix by @MaHo_66 but when I enter "Q0" nothing appears to happen.
I've tried to tighten the screws but this didn't work either.
Does this only happen to me or did any one else face this problem too?
I cannot provide any logs but if you tell me how to I'll upload these.
@ rodman01 ich hab das Problem bei meinem i9305 mit der ResurrectionRemix 5.7.1 und boeffla Kernel by rodman01, dass der Ortungsdienst komischerweise nur innerorts funktioniert. Sobald ich mich einige meter außerhalb der Ortschaft bewege, bewegt sich mein Standort laut Handy nicht mehr mit. Das habe ich in 4 Orten in meiner Umgebung getestet. Das Problem ist nicht Kernel abhängig da ich dies auch schon mit Stock Kernel getestet habe.
Desweiteren habe ich händisch 3 APNs meines Mobilfunkanbierters hinzugefügt, doch gebessert hat sich nichts.
Innerorts funktioniert das GPS problemlos oder vielleicht auch langsamer als sonst ABER es funktioniert.
In der gps.cfg habe ich nachgeschaut ob er die Sateliten aus meiner Region abgreift und das hat sich bestätigt.
Das selbe Problem bestand bei der CyanogenMod 13 ROM von p.a.n ebenso.
Bislang kann ich keine Logs anbieten, jedoch wenn du mir sagst woher ich logs herbekomme lade ich sie dir gerne hoch.
Hast du einen Problembehandlungsvorschlag?

I apologise for the late reply but I've just become aware of your post by accident. By the way, in my signature block is a link to a help thread for GT-I9305/9300 of @limjh16, which is much better monitored.
Please allow me first to advise that GPS is running perfectly on my device and its current configuration.
First, the described problem is weird, having GPS reception in town but not out of town. Second, I've to admit that I don't fully understand all of your assumptions with possible impact on GPS.
What boeffla kernel are you using? I didn't know that @rodman01 ported one to the GT-I9305 but I know limjh16 did: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/i9305-t3395297
What's the rational behind your assumption that the APNs have something to do with GPS reception? BTW, I'm only using two APN i.e. no APN for IMS. I also did manually modify my APN list as I initially had MMS issues i.e. I delete all default APNs and added to the then empty list both APNs I use.
You said you tightened the screws. Of the GPS receiver? Can you preclude any hardware fault or failure? If in town but in a building (I don't mean any type of "concrete bunker" or any Faraday cage), do you receive a GPS signal? If not, does somebody else receives a signal at that location with his device? If yes, might be an indication for hardware trouble. Just asking 'cause I could assume that downtown and being outside buildings might amplify the satellite signals but these "amplification tools" might be missing out of town, down in the woods or fields.

I found out that only with mm Roms I don't get any GPS signal. According to my Screenshot my phone doesn't connect to any satellite. No matter if in town or out of town.
Lately I flashed a lollipop rom (cm12. 1) and the GPS works just fine.
Maybe the only working location service was GPRS or something like that.
Yesterday I flashed the latest resurrection Remix Rom but the GPS still didn't work. I just couldn't get any satellites connected. Now I switched back to lollipop and GPS works just normal.

Did you try to clean flash RR? Did you install any other UnifiedNLP, or are you with com.google.android.gms?

Yes I clean flashed rr Rom. In twrp I made a factory reset and wiped data, system, cache and dalvik then flashed the Rom and then opengapps. What isUnifiedNLP?

hallo,
gibts ne möglichkeit das wildfire 2.1 zu rooten ohne das htc gui zu ändern, vielleicht soft root.
hatt mit alten os mit Unrevoked super funktioniert
seit update auf froyo funzt nicht mehr
will nur shell, busybox, apktor, adfree und swapper und auf root verzeichnisse schreiben nutzen
hab superuser und root manager drauf
habs nochmal nach update vom hersteller mit Unrevoked probiert, irgendwie funzts nicht mehr richtig

hi,
i want to root my wildfire t-mobile but dont want to change the rom, or i want have the original htc gui.
wildfire
t-mobile
froyo 2.1
with the old os and Unrevoked3 i have root with htc gui and branding, i used adfree, swapper, terminal, and change rights to r/w
i have root manager, softroot apps
i try Unrevoked3 but dont works now anymore
please help
thanks
2.1 is not froyo.
you can use unrevoked to root and then flash 2.1 to your phone.
froyo = 2.2, you can get a custom rom with this, or wait for the official release.
i see i have 2.1
ok thx will share apps with brain sync and try CyanogenMod 6.1.0
can you tell me fast how i can install this rom ,sorry i know there much information about but i dont find it on the rom site
i have android commander
last use Unrevoked3 i it takes me to boot menue and i can do nandroid backup and can install a other rom,
when i use Unrevoked3 now it says boots a lot times but i dont came to the same screen with nandroid and use other rom
i have the rom now as .zip file, i copy this on my data card.
so how can i make a nandroid backup from old rom and install the new one ??
thx a lot
turn the phone off. then hold down the trackpad and turn it on at the same time. then at fastboot select bootloader (i think) by pressing the power button once. then wait about 10 seconds for it to do whatever it does, then press the volume down button to scroll down to recovery, select that with the power button and then you will be at recovery.

A good link to a guide how to flash / use unrevoked is in thread of "wildpuzzle rom 2.1" in it's 1st post. Would be nice if u described what exactly youre problem is...
(refering: habs nochmal nach update vom hersteller mit Unrevoked probiert, irgendwie funzts nicht mehr richtig)
U told "unrevoked doesn't work anymore" where u get stuck? What does unrevoked tell u?
As u already have superuser app - it seems youre device is already rooted?!? As it gets installed by using unrevoked.
If u got stuck in unrevoked and restarted 2 early it could be u have to rerun unrevoked a 2nd time to get it fully rooted. But it seems u already have root now. so why to flash a rom now as u didn't want to as u described earlier...
After u can enter recovery as described above (turn phone off, hold volumedown + turn on phone while holding, wait some seconds, then u can select recovery by pressing vol+/vol- and enter it by pressing the power button)
Then u can do nandroid backup + flash new rom - don't foget to wipe old data before.
But as u described it's NOT what u want - as all u want is rooting (having superuser rights) and NOT a new ROM.
Rooting is independent from flashing a ROM. As well as the HTC GUI is independent from rooting.
So rooting WON'T change the ROM nor HTC GUI.
Anyway - if u still want to flash a new ROM and u don't wanna loose HTC gui - syncing with appbrain wont help u as HTC GUI is not out on the market. So it can't be reinstalled by appbrain after flashing a rom without them.
If u want htc gui / apps u have to take a rom with them preinstalled (u can't take crayogen atm as it comes without htc apps).
For a list of roms with/without see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822181
Get more inforamtion in the rom thread - and read before u flash - as each rom has different "problems".
If u don't wanna read whole thread - at least read the first 5 posts + the last 2 sites of a rom so u can get a little view of the problems/possibilities people face.
So all in all: U had an "old os" - rooted it - and t-mobile did an upgrade - after it root was gone?
1. get UNREVOKED running - if u face problems (and u did as it seems) - tell which? not just " irgendwie funzts nicht mehr richtig" next time
2. u can decide to do a nandroid backup after (i would recommend it - as a rooted rom has the "capability" to brick)
3. u can decide to flash a new ROM but there is no need if u just want to have root rights.
ive found that i didnt have to wipe my data before flashing a new rom, and that when i did that it kept all my apps and settings, just with a different rom

Hi thanks to let us know (i used the button ). I din't test modaco yet but i realy wanted to - and yours sounds even more exciting
Is kernel OC capable? (could add that to youre rom description - it is very nice btw.) But propably not as u didn't mention
You should announce it here as standalone thread + post it in the "ROM Overview Thread" so we all will be very happy and u will get more response.
greetings

Its an orginal HTC Kernel , but you can use the HDCR Kernel from Jacob to o/c. This should work fine

Broken lightsensor or Gingerbread bug?

Hi,
just about the time when i flashed JV1, my lightsensor stopped working properly.
It's so annoying when auto-brightness just jumps between low brightness and full brightness.
I thought it might be a bug. But now with JVB it still doesn't work. I checked it with a few sensor test apps and it outputs either 6.0 lux or 5000.0 lux.
Does anynone else have this problem? Is there a possibility to flash the eclair or froyo "lightsensor driver"?
Anyone? 10char
It's not a bug, it's a feature.....blame Samsung.
Yes, everyone has that.
Update to JVB and everything will be fine I dont have any big issues with GB, since I'm using Darkys Rom v10 Just check out his thread.
Und schöne Grüße aus Deutschland

I have JVB and I have this issue also.
Well, that was only an advice For me it works very well without issues, so I'll stay at JVB till a new Rom will come out with GB, of course by darky.
Same issue here. Refleshing to JVB did not help

Same here, downloaded brightness widget from market and keep it on 25% now.
Anybody got any updates on this, or some kind of fix? Really weird, because it seems only some have this problem, but it seems to be the case with a few other phones too.
My galaxy s has been behaving like this always, since I first bought it with stock gingerbread, and there's no difference in Darkys Rom 10.1. Light sensor goes from either 6 lux to 5000 lux in Androsensor, and the proximity sensor behaves the same way (only two values).
Shortly after posting this, I came across
darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/brightness-fix-for-jvp-jvq.4019/ <- that tread (apparently I'm not allowed to post links yet).
Even though I am on JVH, and the fix uses files from JVH to apply to JVP/JVQ, it worked wonders on my phone!
This fix worked also for me.
With simple Honey 5.1 on JVS with speedmode kernel.
Thanks a lot..

[Q] need stock rom for Telenor Serbia

hello ppl.
Can somebody help me?
I need stock rom for Telenor Serbia for my Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570
Sorry for my bad English
I would need it as well.
anybody?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-S5570&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware
samo ne znam sta ce vam stock pored svih ovih djakonija...instal any of them , but if you want swype that supports serbian, find serbias version...i recomend to instal latest version...btw, you need to create account on samfirmware
thanks!
I did not backup the original, so it would be good to have it in reserve.
I have tried my first custom ROM, CM 10.1 by Rohan, and... I would like to test some others as well.
Can you suggest which one to test (Samsung Galaxy Mini)?
and another question...
I am doing all of this so that I could solve two problems that I had, i.e. full internal memory and the phone that is typing the screen for himself (nekad tako poludi i klikce gde stigne, ne mogu mu nista osim da zakljucam ekran).
so, I have solved the internal memory, but the second problem is still there...
what do you think, is this a software or hardware problem, what could be causing it?
edit:
at sammobile there is no Serbia listed as a country...
I remember my Android was 2.3.6 and firmware had last two digits of S2.

if you need stock for garanty, instal Kies for samsung and you have option to download update for your mini and for your baseband, serbian...but trust me, warranty covers only software problems, and with the help of these guys here, you wull not get any problems...about keyboard...if you are using chinese charger, it could be the problem, believe me, iv had problems with that...if not, reflash your rom ...if you have time, try every rom of latest date and pick one that is best for you, ukusi su razliciti
the phone is out of warranty (more than 2 years).
Kies is not recognizing anymore the software version and hence does not offer any update (it recognize only the original stock rom).
I am using the original charger from the beginning...
the phone got crazy... it was crazy with the original stock rom...
is this because of the SW or HW?
I know about different preferences... but... can you give me an advice?
letters should be big as with stock rom minimum, I should be able to have more free internal memory...
thanks for your help
p.s. if you find the original stock rom (telenor srbija), I would appreciate it.

if you want more internal memory, you need to partition sd card, you can find tutorial all over the forum...if you want something like stock rom, everyone will recomend you Emanon v7, it has all features of stock, and if you have partition, you can use link2sd app to free up internal memory...thing is that is not that customizable, litteraly stock, but with support of init.d, you can power up his peeformance and keep the stability of stock rom...for better looks, miui or cm7, put some theme, few icons pack and you will get a pretty good rom...to sa ekranom ti je onda do stock roma bilo ako nemas problema sa ovim novim romom...sad ce i novi kernel za ovaj cm10.1 pa ce biti mnogo bolji
once the warranty expires you should forget about stock sw ---- it's a liberating experience
just get used to a whole lot of reading and funny terms and you can find a tutorial/assistance for almost everything
choose wisely!
start looking/learning with SD partitioning and performance packages that will follow every custom rom, get used to different launchers and certain bugs that just add the flavor
....mada ne znam cemu ova prepiska na engleskom

mora jbg, taka su pravila stock for our mini is really bad, except maybe battery, thats it...we should use the power of customizing linux
ok, I am still with cm10.1...
installed gapps also... partitioned SD... link2sd installed... moved or linked everything to SD...
having problems with installing apps from google play... not sufficient memory message.
I have noticed that, link2sd report says that my system memory is practically full, i.e. only 2% free.
I guess that could be the problem but do not know how to free some space there.
any suggestions?
and yes, screen is not crazy anymore... it seems like it was sw related.
just noticed... can not login skype... uninstalled it, downloaded from play and installed again... loop at sign in.
a short feedback....
this cm10.1 is the most beautiful ROM of all I have seen, but in my case it was a bit slow performing on Mini, and I could not figure out some settings (or they were bugs).
then I tried cyanmobile eXperience of squadzone and modified by midhato...
less beautiful, faster performing... but it suddenly got into the loop at booting after self restarting.
at the end, I flashed the Emanon v.7, with the 8gb class 10 card inside the phone... and all is working perfectly... at least for now.
I modified CPU a bit and I think this would be my permanent choice (unless it starts making problems).
thank you for your advice Nixoman!

[Q][I9001] upgrade from CM9 RC0 to alpha 4

Hi!
I recently (about a month ago) flashed 9.0.0-RC0-ariesve-UNOFFICIAL to my i9001. Everything works great, except of course the stuff I knew from before (camera, USB tethering, etc.).
My question now is if it's possible (and a good idea) to flash the "[ROM][ICS][IMM76L] CyanogenMod 9 ALPHA (Build 5)" available in the forums, to enter the "regular" CM9 upgrade path without wiping my device. In the thread, it states:
Upgrades
Upgrades from previous versions of CM9 are the same process as install, except you do not need to wipe anything. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to even wipe cache and dalvik-cache when upgrading between CM9 versions. You only need to wipe if you are doing a major upgrade, switching to a different ROM entirely, or attempting to fix bugs caused by bad backups or corrupt app data.

Does this count as a previous version of CM9?
BR
Ivar
you mist wipe cache and dalvik cache. thats all. but cam works only whit 3t part apps like pudding cam or orhers from play store
