I have an S5 mini with poor GPS and previously had an S2 also with poor GPS..
Is there such a thing as a Samsung with good GPS, something I can do to resolve this matter or should I just change to a different make ?
My S5 mini had good GPS when it was running original Jellybean ROM out of the box. Then I installed CM 13 and it doesn't work anymore... Tried to reflash original ROM, but still GPS is very weak or does not work at all. I don't know a solution, sadly.

Mine is running kitkat out of the box. Has downloaded Lollipop, but I am reluctant to let it install Lollipop as I've heard it may cause problems !!

Hello Guys I guess most of you must be aware of the wi fi error problem,there is a video below to describe the problem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItgPmVz_wz4
I have searched the forum such posts but I haven't got the solution till now,i have googled it many times but found nothing.
The only solution I know now is to restart the phone and dial *#*#526#*#*(which also works only sometimes)
Does anyone know any permanent solution for this ?
Anyone ?
well i had the same problem on my ace. I tried many solutions, but none helped.
this is not a problem with hardware, but with the stock ROM. I got rid of this bug after flashing any custom rom (that supports wi fi of course)
I'm not saying that this is the only way to manage this problem, but thats how i did it.
Try doing a full wipe of the phone and re-flash the ROM.
Austin 3:16 says "I just whooped your ass". Sent from my Cooper running Gingerbread MIUI.
Well guys did everything nothing helped, so i flashed stocklite 7.1 using it since 2 days no problem so far, battery life is amazing, atleast way better than the stock roms
Thread can be closed now
wifi error prevails with the stock roms. I have used many custom roms and that bug doesnt happen. Its the problem with the stock rom. Heard it is the problem with india rom from one of my friend. May be u can try with other region firmwire and check.
so my question is about kernels.i download multiple roms and try them.each of this rom has unique problem and its really frustrating what to install on,to work for all what i need.i need more ram,i saw the post and tutorial and made exactly all steps.anyway,ofc it didnt work.i found some replay says about custom kernel.so,if i install any kernel,does affect on rom,does version of android stays same????any kernel can be installed to rom i have atm??i didnt found any answer about that.today im dealing all day with this on forum,checking all ower for answers and it driving me mad cause i still cant comment on some post and i really need it.cause of that im spanding hours for my ace to have all what i need. big internal memory,bigger size of ram working camera and no lag rom.you my think im spanding time for a sh1tty phone,well thats true.another question:is there any kernel(tweak)for wifi???i have ace and huawei in same room.ace wifi works just sux as much as he can,whatever rom i put on,wifi going still sux,disconecting etc on each rom i installed.my huawei phone also ****ty phone more than ace,the wifi works non stop at full signal,black market works fast,google play works fast.on ace black market works slow as snail on whatever rom i install,google play works normal,on some roms slow and lagy.so i saw comments about wifi.people said about router to configure,well its just stupid,cause i have 2 phones in my room and i see what is going on.simply,ace has most sh1ty wifi ever and modem has nothing to do,my 2nd room is 5meters away from modem,just 5 meters and ace cant handle,thats really lame.so,any solutions about that i would be really apriciated .
If you change kenrel, android version will remain same.
No disconnect issue with me..
On rom JB CM10.
I had experienced that problem in CM7 ROMS.
And you cannot install any kernel on any rom.
See compatibility.
My previous mobile was Galaxy S2 i had no problems in searching for fixes in tweaks for it.
but now am using iPhone 5 & my sidekick mobile is mys sisters old galaxy ace.
was an S2 user so I dont like stock roms & i like to tweak the ROMS as i need.
Here are my problems
1.after searching a lot i found a decent working ICS MIUI ROM .
no lag, everything works perfectly.
but i have a great drop in battery. when i checked the stats it was a kernel wakelock names "bluesleep" which is preventing the device from sleep. i had found fix for this in forum but not a fix for ace so people please gimme a link for fix
2. Wifi problem was ter since i was in stock ROM, wifi gets connected but no internet. but when i tether from my iPhone wifi is working. in other places its not working.
HELP ME PLEASE !!

For the bluesleep process that pervent your device to enter sleep mode you should take a look if it's a bug of the rom and if it's reported from other users. I think that the Wi-Fi is maybe a problem due to a not perfect flash of the rom. In anyway wipe everything, format system and sd card, than reflash the rom, you migh be good to go.
P.S. Try to freez bluesleep with greenfy and see what appen. This could be call a temporary fix if you don't care that much about Wi-Fi.
Good luck and have a great life

Bluesleep is the problem with Bluetooth in ICS rom with non ICS kernel. gonna try Ics kernel now. but for someother devices there is flashable fix for bluesleep.
wifi problem has been ter since stock ROM. i think its related to Baseband. Am searching for a good baseband for India.
Also can you suggest me a decent MIUI rom which work without lag. the rom which i was is without lag but the only problem is bluesleep & the previous wifi one

I'm not very much in MIUI rom, I've never test out one so I don't know what suggest to you, sorry. I prefer the up-to-date CM 10.1 by armv6 team that works perfectly with no bugs.

The rom you may looking for is a slimmed rom based on stock 2.3.6 rom by Samsung with Battery Extender kernel. The fastest and less battery-eater rom is the AOSP GB but has no working 3G connection so that's why you may not like it. Custom ROM suffers some instability some times and they're not perfect so that's why you should use on a phone you use for your job a stock based rom, in my opinion.
P.S. Do you really need a MIUI rom updated to a newer version of Android?
Also i have one more doubt. when i moved to custom kernel the boot logo animates like my phone gonna die i9s that normal or due to some voltage fluctuations ??

No problems at all, it's "normal" (i know sounds weird XD) when you flash a kernel that do not came with the rom itself. I've never faced instability related to voltages even in overclock. Remember that not every CPU is capable of the same overclock. If you doubt about stability do a stress test of cpu trough an app (I use it to test oveclock frequecies).
Hey there, just sold my S4 for an S3 i9305 4G.
The ROM works great, except for the camera app crashing on launch.
When I dial *#34971539# all it says is CameraFirmware Standard, so I can't get the specific model of the camera hardware.
On Alliance ROM i was able to get the camera working, by flashing a stock kernel, going into the camera app, then flashing any custom
kernel and it worked from then on.
Unfortunately, The Galaxy Project is my ROM of choice, because it seems less buggy, but when I try the same trick, the ROM won't boot
with stock kernels...
How do I get the camera to work?
Help!!
i installed that ROM...for me didn't boot at all....(did full wipe and waited about 10 min)...
if you read the 2nd post from that kernel...CLICK HERE you will see that the developer says clearly that there is a bug with camera... and as you can see he lists there "Possible solutions"....those are not guaranteed to work...wait for him to find the bug...
i use OMNI ROM....camera works perfectly...
These solutions ARE guaranteed to work I have the same problem, so I just copied my SlimISP to external memory and use it if the bug occurs.
I build Elasy to my GT- S5300. It seems smooth but generaly slow at the same time. Before that I tried Purekat. It was good too except a few bugs. But then I realized it didn't see my SD card. And before that, I mean first of all, I tried Kitkat Smart R2. When I downloaded Instagram it said app doesn't compatible with my android version. I thought there would be problem with other random applications too and I tried the other roms. Soo I'm looking for another decent rom. Any suggestions?
