[Q] No GPS fix on Lollipop?

I have upgraded to L using Walter's method. Everything is pretty much good except that I can no longer get a GPS fix in any app I use. I can see plenty of satellites (upwards of 21), but will not get a fix...seemingly ever (I let it try on a 2 hour drive). To clarify, GPS worked quite well on 4.x.
I've tried a few workarounds such as:
GPS settings to get assist data
secret code to rebuild nvm or something like that
turning on and off high accuracy
performed the hardware hack mentioned in the general forum
I haven't tried a factory reset yet, and I'd like to avoid it if possible. Just curious as I've seen this problem detailed for several devices and networks, but no real solutions.
Thanks in advance.

Was this the hack you tried? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1685726

That IS new to me. I will try it, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Quick question. You do the stock or rooted OC1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/update-procedure-lollipop-5-0-oc1-t3063760 ? Think about flashing it myself.

The rooted from post 2. Everything else seems to be good.

Make sure you have oc1 modem. I play ingress and have no GPS issues

There were 2 many reasons why it is very slow to get GPS lock but one problem that I know 100% causes the GPS to lock slowly and not at all because of the aluminium back case that I was using on my galaxy note 3. I tested the GPS status toolbox with back case aluminium and sometimes the GPS lock took long time to fix and sometimes it did not lock at all! But supprisingly, when I remove the back case cover, I don't have that problem anymore. So, check if you have the back case aluminium. Something is interfering with the GPS signal. Now my note 3 is naked without back case but I'm happy this solved the issue. As I said this is one of the problem that caused the GPS lock issue. Perhaps there are more...

Tried everything including factory reset, still no luck
I tried almost everything as OP and did a Factroy reset. Still have the same issue, GPS cant get lock in. It works flawlessly before, start to having this issue after updating to lollipop, dont remember if it happened just after or not.
Is any other possible method to fix this?
Thanks,

!0n update content? Problems?

I see at least one thread reporting wifi issues after 10n. Anyone know the content of this update or other problems with it? I didn't take the update so I'm curious as to whether I should unfreeze and let it go. Not running a custom ROM yet, just TWRP and root.

Breaks Wi-Fi calling when used with xposed...other than that update is a beast

Yup. Just having XPosed installed with no modules breaks WiFi Calling.
But otherwise the update is great. All Stagefright cases are patched, and doubletap-to-wake works consistently now.

For me wifi isn't as strong, if in back yard I get many 081 unable to connect to wifi calling, where prior always connected in my yard. But overall the update is an improvement and won't be rolling back just because lose wifi calling at times.

WiFi in general is still pretty awful for me. Lots of dead connections or disconnects on WiFi. I saw others having issues with Comcast WiFi. Really annoying, wish I could find a legit fix or more info.
Will be wiping soon to see if that improves. Otherwise the update is good. Phone still runs less than it should on clunky LG interface. Aosp is missed.

Xperia z3 compact wifi won't turn on

My phone suddenly won't turn on wifi. It doesn't show any near wifi available and there is no Mac address. I have tried everything, factory reset, clean the cache, repaired through pc companion, and nothing. Phone without wifi is useless. Please help If anyone solved this problem

Same problem

I have look everywhere but seems like is no solution for it. I'm not sure if flash with custom room would be a way. It might be a hardware problem. I can't sent my to Sony because there is not warranty anymore.

Ok, my warranty expired too! I also tried software repair and still not working and i now see that Bluetooth also is not working.

Hey guys. I fixed this on my phone about a month ago. So far no one has commented if it has helped them or not, but here is my post again. Let me know if it helps.
I had this problem on my Z3c for a while (as well as no wifi or bluetooth). My device is well out of warranty. I received a RMA number last week to send it in in hopes that it would be an affordable fix. I was getting it ready to send out today and decided to try a couple more things.
As others have said, I went in to the diagnostics and test the WiFi (passed) Bluetooth (passed) and GPS (failed). I then decided to test WiFi and Bluetooth a couple more times to see if it would eventually fail. It never did. After that, I went to turn WiFi on manually and to my suprise.... it turned on! Bluetooth and GPS were also magically working.
Before this I had tried numerous factory resets, diferent android versions, different roms (without unlocking the bootloader) with no success. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but hopefully it can work for some of you!

I have exactly the same problem but only one thing is different that my Bluetooth is working. There only problem is wifi. I belive that is no hardware problem. There must be some kind of glitch in software where you accidentally doing this things jumped over. I have tried your tip. No success. Im going to do this every day to see if I have luck. My Bluetooth and wifi passing test every time GPS is failing.

Yes, please do post back your results. I'm not sure if what I did was a fluke of what, but I was shocked when I saw my WiFi turn on. Almost every other post I have seen about this either stops getting replies or the OP sent it in for repair numerous times.

I have done exactly the same things like you described. No luck. Strange my Bluetooth is working only wifi can't be switch on. GPS is failing on test like yours. What has the GPS to do with wifi? I don't know if there is any connection.

I forgot to mention I was on the latest factory lollipop image. I'm not sure what you are on. Are both WiFi and Bluetooth passing the tests?

When I was trying to root, I ended up using KingRoot and replacing it with SuperUser afterwards. None of the other methods seemed to work for me.

Ok. I have rooted my phone with giefroot. Very simple. You only follow the guide. But now I have rooted phone and gone to to root Explorer and can't find the file I should delete.

Sorry, I can't help with that. I don't see it on my phone either. I have no idea what that folder is or what it does either.

F*ck, I have same problem, wifi won't turn on. Few times after phone was turned off for long time it worked but mostly just stuck. Bluetooth works so can I be sure it's not a hardware problem?

Bluetooth Issues on Nougat, Tab S2 T719

My saved Bluetooth pairings keep disappearing in the Bluetooth settings since updating to Nougat, I think it's happening upon rebooting. It's annoying to have to keep pairing with my devices, especially the hands free link in the car! T719 on the German 7.0 firmware I believe, since that was the first to be released for the T719. Stock unrooted. Anyone else seeing this issue?

Didn't happen to me but just so we know, after installing the nougat did you do a reset or something, like a clean install.

Ah yes I did, I had to factory reset/wipe data because it wouldn't boot up after a dirty install. So I did start fresh, and everything else seems fine.

Hmm so that's fine then. On top of that you are stock and unrooted
You can try 2 things
-In settings backup & reset- Do network settings reset This will as name suggests clear your wifi/ mobile data/bluetooth settings and passwords etc.
- Check if you have disabled any app which may be the cause or any app which may be causing this.

Thanks for the ideas. No luck so far tho. I reset network settings, then paired with a Bluetooth speaker, rebooted, and sure enough the pairing is gone. I haven't disabled anything at all, for once I'm just running pure untouched stock unrooted lmao. I guess it could be a bug in this particular build? I have a T719. I'll look and see if it could be some app causing it, but I don't have too many apps, and definitely nothing too crazy lol.

You can check with other 719 users. Is this happening with wifi/5g wifi too btw?
Edit- Also found something, go to apps and select google backup transport and clear its cache and data the reboot. Might as well give this try as well

Not sure about wifi, haven't used it at all because my LTE is better than my home wifi. And I don't see that backup transport app here. Anyway, thanks for the ideas. Hopefully some other T719 owners will chime in.... I'm just not sure how many others there are. I do see a second Nougat build has been posted for my device, for United Arab Emirates, so maybe I'll install that one and see.

Same problem
Hi!
I have the same problem on my SM-T719.
Even after the second update just a month ago.
Sended it in to MOBYLIFE and they said that everything is fine and that it's my problem.
Even though I send them video proof of the opposite.
Sad...

Another WI-FI issue

As I've already read, SD 835 phones including this one suffer Wi-Fi drops and disconnects. My particular issue is that even though the device is connected to wifi either speed seems to slow down a lot or internet simply doesn't work, I can tap whatever I want in Chrome and the loading bar below the address bar fills in a millisecond and disappears. Happens on different routers, router configuration reset doesn't help nor does device reset. Was the issue already addressed by any update or should I wait?

It is, however most people complain about disconnects making them restart the phone. In my case wifi is still connected, but it sometimes seems to stop working while still being connected and wifi relaunch fixes the issue.. 145 fw didn't solve it, so I guess we should wait.

As I recall there was a wifi lag problem with the first couple of builds, but I've had no issues with wifi since November. So perhaps it was fixed in a firmware update?

I returned mine and ordered the US version to see what's what. Should be present there too but one can hope... don't want to give up on the phone but if I encounter it there too then I'll have to go for another model. I'll report back whatever I'll find.

Have a similar wifi problem using (US) firmware .145. A restart fixes it, but eventually the problem resurfaces again. May wait to update until firmware following .179 is available, as I've read that in some cases .179 makes the problem worse. (?)

I did this. Problem was still present on US phone as some predicted. Returned that phone as well.

I'm using CE1 .145 firmware and it started to do that problem a week ago. I have never experienced that before that time. I have to restart my phone at least twice a day and it appears even I'm not connected to any wifi router.
I'll see when update will come. It's horrible.

I'm not experiencing the Wi-Fi disconnect very often, fortunately, but it makes the problem more difficult to diagnose. Odd that some people experience it regularly, even several times a day.

For me it happened several times in a couple of minutes time. I'm on a college campus though, a lot of wifi hotspots around because of the university's wifi network, I think that made it worse.

Several days ago, my xperia also sufering wifi issues. The wifi is disabled by my device.
I have done so much attempts to solve it until I got this:
Connect the device to the PC and open ADB Fastboot. Then, conduct this codes:
adb shell
settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0
That's all. My wifi work again.
I hope that will work on you.

Code:
adb shell
settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0
This worked for me. Thank you
