Hello
I have just got my note, sadly google maps didn't determind my location till I turned on AGPS. I tried to use gps status to check for sats with no results after 10 min, I knew something were wrong. I root the device & installed lbstest mod & tried to get position. With no results, I tried to check hardware test for gps, also no sat were found, I changed the mods nothing occur.
I tried to change my csc into open europ. & did all check again,& no improvements.
I installed oden & tried to install a complete wipe rom; codec, modem, csc. Open version Still can't get any sat on any gps app.
Samsung middle east says you should pay for changing inboard 400 $ as it not purchased for the main country dealer, as I moved to ksa; as if they know nothing about softcodes.
I also tried to use other pool like Asia or global, niether any results
I checked alogcat to check.. But I couldnt understand much,
Please somebody help.
Moved To Q&A
Please post questions in the Q&A section
mine is similar sometimes, i can wait forever and it wont find a single satelite, but once I reboot it will find and fix onto 10+ satelite within seconds.
I think mine is just a software glitch, its irritating but i can live with it.

It seems to be hardware issue, as i m first time hearing GPS issue on Note.
Anyway if this can help you, take a chance.
Download 'faster fix' from market. And try changing pool from application.
GudLuck!
I already installed fast fixer with no results, if it were a hardware issue, how could we insure it,like a script or gps chip and antenna checker,reading the alogcat show ; gps is on but receiving fix,
Had same problem, then I just deleted old a-GPS data and redownload new one. Then fix within seconds. Try that first and see if it works better.
Re Galaxy note No gps fix No Sat
Sadly I delete the old AGPS Data & update it, with same result, I checked CoPilot with no Sat, I checked GPS Status again, no improvements, I think its Software problem, missing Data " interperting between Software & Hardware" missing Lib or Code.
I ve already attached alogcat, hopefully someone could advice
Regards
I strongly suggest you go back to square one and work from a stock, known good, reliable (as in working on tens of thousands of others), operating system.
Until then you are simply throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks.. this is not a scientific engineering approach... so start by helping others help you.
Thanks
Sorry for disturb, i just wanted to insure that i ve tried several abrouchs. If anybody could suggest a complete wipe nand & boatloader, codec,...... I dont mind i. Any comment is helpfull to me just make sure somone read the alogcat i already posted
GPS Hardware fault !

Thanks for your interest, I just open the phone & had checked for broadcom GPS chip its already their,so my guess is the GPS antenna, so where it is located? I ll like to try to replace it ( is it on the back cover case ), as checking the log will show us , GPS on but receiving fixes & also GPSweaksignal (0)..
pls check the photo
ur prompt reply is highly appreciated .
Im not an expert, you use this information at your own risk.
Flow chart.
Location on wiring diagram.
Location on board.
Location on your pic.
Any updates on the issues? I check the areas as quote... but nothing change... any recommendations
Hi,
can someone upload the photo's again? my GPS has stopped working. I can use assist with Mobile Data but it's slow. The only thing I did before it stopped working was dismantle the phone for a screen repair. I don't know if I had someone not cabled something or unhinged something?? please help
Please,upload photos,i have the same problem!:fingers-crossed:
hey guys im new on this wp8 forum (old android user) i bought an ativ S from a dude i met once... i knew this had a problem with the camera, i just realized that the back camera is the only one with the problem, ive been reading posts and i tried everything to make it work, but i allways got the same, it doesnt start correctly, i press the camera button or use the camera icon, but its allways the same, the 1st start its like it close so quickly at the 2nd try it keep the screen black, i only see the icons, and an arrow to swipe and see the pics i toke (with the front camera and a 3rd party app) but it close in around 10 seconds... idk what to do... i tought maybe was something about and update (a past one) but few days ago i got an update (not grd2, a minor one) but nothing... i still have the problem... what do you guys think... its a hardware problem or maybe software?... ireally love this cellphone and i dont wanna stop using it
If third-party apps can use the main (rear) camera, then it's not a hardware problem; you could try hard-resetting the phone and seeing if that helps.
If even third-party apps can't use the rear camera, it's either a hardware or firmware problem. Since this is the first I've heard of you particular issue, and since an update didn't fix it, that suggests a hardware problem (it *could* be firmware if you have some weird non-stock firmware on there; what version info do you have in settings->about->more info?). If it's a hardware problem, replacing the phone (or just living with the meh but usable front-facing camera, I guess) is your only real option.

thank you for your answer, =)
uhmmm, as you say i only can use the back camera with an 3rd party app, because when i try to open the pre installed camera app it close...and the camera icons appera in a gray color... except the arrow to see the taken pics, that appear in white...
i discovered some other ppl who had the same problem, :/
oh oh ok. my telephone info is...
Os version: 8.0.10327.77
firmware:2212.13.6.1
hadware: 15.3.1.0
trans soft: 2212.13.6.1
trans hardw: 0.0.0.0
(i actually dont know how to translate this from spanish): 13.04.19.21
SOC chip version: 1.5.32
this is the info i got, before uodating it, the number were almost the same :/
mmmm i remeber when the update was almost ending it was like 1/5 complete... then 2/5 complete... and after that the phone started...what i mean is that there was no 3/5 4/5 or 5/5 steps...
man so you are telling me i wouldnt be abble to replace just the camera, if is a hardware problem??? oh jesus =( i really love this cellphone i dont wanna lose it =(
thank you for your answer my friend =)
First of all: you have GDR2 and the most current firmware that I know of for the SGH-T899M. The line you couldn't translate is "bootloader" (the code that starts, or "boot-straps", the operating system). Your version numbers are identical to mine.
My rear camera works fine, though. Since third-party apps also work, you either have bad firmware somehow (doubtful, especially after the update) or there's something wrong with the Camera app on the phone (more likely). Unfortunately, the only way I know of to fix the latter problem is to re-install the OS (which a hard reset will, or at least should, do).
Replacing just one component, like the camera, is very difficult on a compact device like a modern smartphone. It might be possible, but the cost might not be worth it. On the other hand, if the phone is still under warranty, you should be able to replace for free.

GDR2??? are you sure my friend?? ive reading and that update come with the Radio app, some camera features and other... but nothing :/ i just got some options in settings and that was all, i even cant download or instal Ativ beam (i dont find it on the store, and when i try to do a manual install it say that is not compatible) and i heard that app is only for the last update
my cellphone is canadian i think, because the company is ROGERS, and i live in peru, so i cant use the warranty or something
i will try to save some of my info, and i will do another hard reset
Do you think there would be a tool for a diagnosis?? i mean conecting my cellphone to a PC in DOWNLOAD MODE or something???
i swear i wont rest till i fix it :'(
again, thank you very much for your time.
P.D: let me show you what the camera looks like for a while
Yes, build 10327.77 is GDR2. Your phone is a SGH-T899M, same as mine; GDR2, along with an interim update ("Amber" maybe?) and a Samsung firmware update, was pushed out to all Canadian SGH-T899M handsets (including those operating in other countries, like yours and mine) a couple days ago.
ATIV Beam installs fine for me; it's probably a region lock and not a matter of device compatibility.
Samsung is reported to have cheapened out on the radio chips for the SGH-T899M, and not included the one needed for FM.
Data Sense (assuming your carrier offers it) is supposedly included, but due to <REDACTED>-up update process, you have to hard-reset to use it (how the *HELL* did that make it through testing? That's supposed to be exactly the sort of BS that those months-long and tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars of testing per-update are supposed to find! Bloody incompetents...)
There's an app called Diagnosis embedded in your phone's firmware; you can install and launch it by typing either ##634# or ##3424# (MFG or DIAG) into the phone's dialer. Check the relevant thread here about dialer codes and diagnosis apps for some examples of things you can do with it (among other things, test the cameras). However, if the camera is working in third-party apps, I doubt that test will find anything. As I said, that indicates a software problem. Hard reset is the only really likely fix for that, if you can't get Samsung to service it. Flashing a stock ROM would probably work too, but I don't know that we have either the ROM nor the flashing tool needed for doing that.

incompetents!!! hell yeah!!! !
my friend are you some kind of wizard or something??, while you were writting it, i was doing a hard reset, and now i have data sense... and oh thats why i cant have ativ beam (NFS in WP devices suxs ass hell, i cant send anything) and... Doesnt have a FM radio???!!! SAMSUNG are you serious?!?!?!?...
i did the ##364# and i got the diagnosis item, thats how i noticed that the front cam worked fine and the "megacam" (front one) doesnt work... (i used the *#0*# code) plus the camera LED doesnt work either
oh well , after the hard reset i just got all my data lost n_n; , but you know... the frontcamera still doesnt work... tell me truth im already FU*beeeep*d ,am i?
i really want to believe that this have a solution...at least a non invasive solution...
I actually have the same issue. Before installing the updates from MS and Samsung the camera worked perfectly. When I updated my phone and did the hard reset, the camera behaves like you say, either a black screen or back to home screen. I called Samsung and they say it is most likely that the update did not install correctly. Though they talk rubbish sometimes as they also told me to update through zune........that doesn't even support WP8..
So flashing a stock rom "might" fix the issue. :fingers-crossed:

Yes it is working on mine (45mm version) here in the UK. I assume you received the firmware upgrade? Maybe try and completely reset the watch, if that fails maybe you have a faulty unit.
.
My 45mm watch in the UK works. However more often than not, it says it can't get a reading. I have a tight fitting silicon strap and have tried moving it along my wrist. I get the best results on the underside of my wrist. Some of the readings vary considerably so I'm not sure how accurate it is either.

Yeah works great on under side of wrist . I even shaved a patch off my wrist to test
I only once had a warning that the watch wasn't in the right place, I rested my elbow on the table, lifted my arm up so watch was level with my heart and that worked perfectly
.
Its been working fine since I did the under wrist test 1st maybe it just had to get a reading 1st

Mine is the UK non-LTE version, I got the update as soon as I connected it to the phone. Software version is:
R840XXU1BTG6
Which is the firmware that enables the SP02 sensor
.
You need to go into the galaxy store and update shealth app on the watch to get the sp02 to show
It did an update of stealth yesterday. Galaxy store now reports no updates available for the watch
---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------
Problem solved. Widget now appears in galaxy wearable app. Thanks all.
Which version of shealth are you running?
My shealth version is
Version 6.11.0.061
Updated date 10 Aug 2020
Size 86.35 MB
When i go to the about page in shealth it says there is an update available, however when I click on it shealth opens then just flashes there is no option to update the software.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled
Shealth
Galaxy wearable app
I have also reset the GW3 but I'm still having the same issue.

Did you get the firmware update?
If not, do you have the LTE version? If so have you connected to a network that is in a country eligible for the sensor to be activated?
If not LTE, again can still depend on where you live.
Did you have an earlier model watch connected to your phone? I noticed it said update available even when there wasn't because it was still registering a previous Galaxy Watch. I deleted the SHealth cache AND data and that resolved.

Thanks for replying so quickly.
* I have the LTE Version
* I'm based in the UK
* when I first received the watch i paired it with my note 10 plus and the blood oxygen option was available and working on my watch.
* I have now switch to the note 20 ultra re paired the watch however the blood oxygen option is no longer available, I have cleared the cache/data in shealth, however its still not working.
*I have unpaired the GW3 from my note 10 plus, I have also reset the galaxy health app on the note 10 plus to see if that helps.
Still no luck....

That's worrying! I am currently connected (Non LTE version) to my Note 10+ 5G and expecting my Note 20 Ultra to arrive this afternoon. The fact that it worked on your 10+ means that there's likely an imminent update to the Note 20 to allow it to work with that phone, unless anyone else reading this thread can confirm it works on the Note 20 for them? It could be a carrier issue, especially as there is a change of phone.
I will update this once I get my phone later and let you know.
One thing you might try, is to go into Samsung Backup/Restore on the Note 20 and select apps only, uncheck everything except the Health app and restore it. Samsung's own apps save the data along with the app itself, so it might just work.

So you have the SP02 sensor working on the watch/Note 20 without issue?
It seems to be a problem for those using the LTE version. I have seen other issues reported in this forum with that version, I nearly bought that one, kind of glad I didn't now.

The phone seems to be working very well.
The only issue I have since I got the phone is when adding card to google pay contactless payament cannot be activated. I do not have loacation resrictions using gpay and with my other phones gpay contacltless payment can be activated successfully. My vivo is not rooted and runs factory rom.

Nice to here. Vivo is taking actions hard and fast, But still we should not get these bugs in Flagship modules.
Bringing out the scam companies like Samsung, Vivo are doing. Am using Vivo X70 pro plus. Recently I updated my software OTA push to 36.9.7 (from 36.8.) but took a camera sample before update. Immediately after update took another sample i matter of 15 min gap. There was hell lot of downgrade. Plus other bugs impacting day to day usage. Wanted your help to voice this out. Below are the identified issues beimg faced.
1. Camera quality is greatly downgraded
2. Background apps getting auto closed like Nova Launcher, SD Maid, Accu battery, etc. Thus accessibility service also not working linked to these apps as tgey are automatically getting off. This was not there before the update.
3. Amazon app is getting auto closed at payment selection page every time thus amazon app now not useful.
Attaching unaltered image sample before & after update.
3.3 mb is the one before update
3.5 mb one is post update (see tubelight & flower design on the matress, etc)
Can someone guide me on how to voice tjis to Vivo. This is malpractice as I suspect deliberate downgrade of camera & other bugs.
I dont see a downgrade or a difference at all here.

Hey anyone else with this phone to start testing new stuff on it?
Got the Chinese version. Flashed the global firmware and changed the channel to reteu with working OTA's.
Will write a guide in the coming days, feel free to ask me about anything you want to know.
I just received the phone, seemed like a store here had a issue allowing me to get the phone early.
If you've got questions, let me know. I do seem to notice a bug with the screen refresh rate set to "auto". It wont go up to 144hz by itself and at low display brightness it seems to stay on 90. Forcefully setting it to 144hz does work wonderfully though.

Do you have the global version? Would be great if you could take three pictures in pro mode with everything set to auto and DNG enabled. (One from each lens). My model produces weird raw results for the main camera, I just want to make sure that it is software related.
You can also see in the viewfinder that the main camera seems to be way less contrasty and saturated than the other lenses.
Also: what's your build number / software version?

You can also see in the viewfinder that the main camera seems to be way less contrasty and saturated than the other lenses.
Also: what's your build number / software version?

Yes I have the global version; Motorola Edge 30 Ultra. I can try the photo situation when it's light again. My build number is S3SQ32.16-16-28.

Got the Chinese version. Flashed the global firmware and changed the channel to reteu with working OTA's.
Will write a guide in the coming days, feel free to ask me about anything you want to know.

Does Google Pay and NFC work correctly? Is the chinese hardware exactly the same as Global this time?

Just checking resellers. You can get the chinese version flashed with global rom already on Aliexpress for £599 for 256gb. Cheapest you can get chinese version that you will need to flash yourself is £530 and that's 128GB only. So might be better to buy it already flashed. Moto UK you can get 10% of for official version which is £675

NFC is toggleable and Google Wallet opens without a problem. As I have never used Google Pay before I dont know how to test it.
I would not buy a flashed version to be honest. If you want a converted phone you should do it yourself to learn what you are doing and maybe be knowledgable enough to handle problems when they arise.

You can get your firmware from Lenovos / Motorolas Rescue and Smart Assistant:
Rescue and Smart Assistant (RSA) - Lenovo Support DE
support.lenovo.com
Use the rescue function with your phone plugged in, start the download and you can unplug the phone.
Firmware can be found at "C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles" after the download.
Would be great if you could share the zipped Firmware with us. Maybe on Google Drive or mega.
These zips dont contain any personal information.

Can confirm that for me the main camera also produces weird results in pro mode with raw output. The output also seems to be way more dull than what the view finder suggests.

Okay thats good for all of us imo. I already contacted Motorola's camera team about the issue, hoping they'll fix it.
@onken: Thanks for the upload! I am not 100% sure but in theory:
1. Patch the new boot.img from the new firmware via magisk on your phone.
2. Put it into your new firmware folder and name it boot_magisk.img
3. Open the flashfile.xml and copy paste the contents into this website.
4. Reboot to fastboot, open a cmd window in your firmware folder and use the fastboot commands from the website but SKIP "fastboot erase userdata".
5. Reboot into fastboot and flash boot_magisk.img to keep root.
Maybe you need to skip the other "erase" commands as well, not quite sure.
Does anyone happen to know why oem unlocking in developer options is greyed out?
Might be related to your purchase date. I've read that sometimes people need to wait 7 days before it is available on other Motorola phones. Might also be available after factory reset.
I think must wait 96h, about 5 days
Possible work fasted if reset to factory ?

Damn, that's ridiculous. I guess I have to wait for a little while, already tried factory resetting twice.

I think its related to "Widerrufsrecht" or whatever its called in other EU countries. You could unlock, decide that you dont like the phone and just return it and noone would probably check if the warranty is void.
Here is an official Motorola post on the issue. Sometimes takes up to a week.
Edit: But on the other hand, unlocking your bootloader can not void your warranty in the EU afaik.
