This would be nice in the thread I made! Some people, like myself might not be convinced that a reset can fix a lot of problems (besides the GPS related ones) and need a little extra convincing.

I've been contemplating on doing a full reset.
@kolyan, did you keep the stock GPS settings or did you change it out after the reset? I'm curious....
Can you list other improvements you've noticed?
All I can say about this is I wiped my phone to prep it for exchange tomorrow, since some were reporting success with different phones. I was having horrid gps issues. Navigate, pre-wipe was taking 5 minutes or more, before it locked and stopped searching for gps. When I tried it after the wipe, it took a few seconds. Not to be beaten so easily, I rebooted and tried again. It again worked quickly. I've been randomly checking all day and the longest it has taken is maybe 20 seconds. Pre-wipe, that never happened. There may be merit to this if it hasn't been tried. Don't know if it will work for everyone, but it certainly worked for me. At least for my gps issues (fingers crossed).
BTW, I had all my apps backed up (146, I just looked) and everything went back fine. Took a while for the restore, but it looks just as it did before the wipe. I never restore system settings, so I had to do it manually, but it was worth it.
Before anyone asks, my compass is still pooched...
Perhaps we should also realize that the bug with the compass might be caused by the app.

Which app? Maps? Layar? Every compass app? When I get time I'll get something that spits out raw sensor data. It's dampening is way too much.

so far GPS is stock, but i dont use it much so i dont know the best settings here
GUI was a bit slow (loading here, loading there), had some minor FC (like when adding picture to contact, had to do it from desktop, in phone i got FC), Engadget widget didnt work 100% (back button had to be double clicked, single click didnt work), in launcher all widgets kept reloading (LauncherPro fixed this, but after reset it work like a charm in stock launcher as well), also had multi-tasking issue and now its gone....
Just wondering, What did you use for backup/restore?

i used to use Titanium backup, but i noticed that some (not all) apps didnt work correctly when restored, so I prefer to do everything manually to make sure everything works
Titanium Backup for me. It took a long time to go back, but it all seemed to work well. I haven't found anything broken because of it yet. Before this phone I would get broken market links and I'd have to restore app data twice sometimes, but it seems to be working well so far.
Also, as far as the rest goes. I am getting less stalling, but it's still there. It also fixed an issue I picked up with Quadrant somewhere along the line where it would hang during the i/o test. Another strange one was if I had gps in use, I could put my phone to sleep by turning it 180 degrees a couple times. That went away.
Just noticed facebook won't sync after the reset... Not sure what that's about.

YES!!! today I noticed when using a different micro usb cable the computer could not find the phone maybe just maybe the configurations are different for these samsung phones. Just because the third party apps don't show an accurate reading doesn't mean they don't find you. I have had NO gps problems in ANY application, I listed somewhere else 6 different applications all worked fine and found me and lead me in the right direction.

I agree with that, for sure. It seems after playing with Android for over a year, I think a lot has to do with data integrity. I've many times rebuilt by hand and installed all my bazillion apps by hand after a wipe and had it work fine. Backup, reset. It's worth a shot. Most of us are here to tinker and learn. Can't do that without some pain!

Oh, I thought you were talking about my crack about the compass. It needs a fix. The only issue I have with that train of thought, is when you use the dialer code to get into the gps settings and run the gps test in there, it doesn't care what the data stream looks like for the most part. It's looking directly at the gps/driver for it's info. It locks when it locks. I don't know, it's making my brain hurt.
When you say Reset are you talking a wipe from recovery or a Reset from inside the phone that basically sets the phone up for a new user?

I think it's the same? Not verified' but when I did it from the phone menu in settings, it rebooted into recovery and automatically deleted data, system and I think cache. Not sure exactly because I wasn't paying attention as I wasn't expecting it. It also flashed something. Maybe someone that's trying it could do both and see if there is a difference?

i believe some cables are charge only (like a lot of motorola cables) and others are charge/data cables - i went looking for a 180 degree adaptor (micro usb) and found them listed as 5 pin and 14 pin cables - suspect the other 9 pins are data transfer
very glad i did this reset...made a world of difference
People are mentioning back-up. All my contacts are obviously on my Google account, and I don't have any saved games or anything. Does Android let us re-download purchased apps after a phone reset? Would seem kind of dumb to not have that option.

I am on my fourth one (long story -- don't ask). I get this fourth one, everything works fine and dandy for a few hours. Then the same problems that happened to my last one are happening again. Random apps are trying to download and they show up as downloaded "unsuccessfully" and when I try to download apps they are stuck at "Starting download...". I thought this problem on my third Vibrant was caused by me messing around with flashing some custom ROMs, going back to stock, etc. (after the JI6 upgrade via Kies bricked by Vibrant). However, the replacement I just got - one that I have not done anything but rooted - is now having the same problems. Random apps are downloading by themselves only to be downloaded unsuccessfully and I can go longer download any apps from market - they are all stuck at "Starting download...".
So, then I thought maybe it wasn't the Vibrant that is the problem -- maybe it is my sim card. So yesterday I swap out sim cards, and the problems still occur. Maybe it is the JI6 update that is causing problems, or maybe I am just cursed when it comes to the Vibrant but this phone has been nothing but trouble for me since I got it in July...
That said, anyone have any helpful tips on how to get my issue resolved? Otherwise, I am going to call up T-Mobile and move to myTouch HD (when it comes out) or G2 (I really don't want G2 cause of physical keyboard and rootkit).
Sounds like reception problems. It happens every so often to me. Definitely not reason to return the phone unless it happens more often than not. Considering it's your fourth phone...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It isn't reception issues. I have full bars, can surf the Internet, etc. and even tried it on WiFi. There is definitely something wrong. It isn't the sim card (I swapped it out). It isn't my Google account (I tried different ones). It isn't the specific Vibrant I have (I just got an exchange two days ago -- both phones had same problem).
So all I have left is either it is JI6 causing the issue or a rogue app. I just did a factory reset to see if maybe that solves the problem. If it doesn't, well, bye bye Samsung hello HTC.
The chances that both phones would have this obscure market problem is very unlikely. Given that all other data services work well, have you ever considered that maybe it's Google's market servers? Did you sign into your Google account then immediately start to download all of your paid applications while it was syncing all of your contacts and email? Are you over dramatizing the problem? Again, this is your fourth phone...
user error?
Not the phone, it's your location/service. I have issues downloading from market at certain places even with full service also. It's poor data connections I believe.

I can't be Market. The downloads are working perfect after a reset that took a mere two minutes. Market up and down in two minutes? I doubt it. The real test is to see if it will continue to work, because it is after a few hours that the problems occur.
Syncing works fine all the time, and market works perfect after the initial setup. It is after a while that it messes up... I don't know whats up.
That said, why would I be over dramatizing the problem? To get pitty on XDA?

Could be JI6 caused some location-only issue? Because I was able to use my Vibrant just fine for 1-1.5 months without this issue. This issue really only showed up for I upgrade to JI6.
@Everyone else: Thanks for the input -- I will be sure to take it into consideration.
rogue app. man I was going nuts when I first got this phone, because randomly it would reboot and go into a boot-loop. after trial and error, I found out is was THE Hero of Sparta HD game from gameloft.
I would reformat and install the basic apps first, then the extras, one by one... to see if you have a bad app. Its the only way I got the the end of my problem.
Stock J16 or a J16 build?
Stock JI6 -- updated via Kies.

It's your Google account at this point. Swap it out for another!
Hmmmmmmmm
The Google account may be the problem..... but not convinced I think the statement (user error) look in the mirror is more correct. BTW, I always use wifi in updating it is just easier and faster, I would assume that you re doing the same.

yeah. I have the same problem. it seems to be location specific. it sounds dumb but when I'm in the mall area near my house i have all but one bar full 3G connection (and that stays pretty consistent give or take a bar or so) and both market and browser have major issues. if you try a bunch of times it might go through occasionally but for the most part it says I have a great connection but I don't. but when i leave the mall area all is fine again. its a pretty large area about a mile square or so. I also drop calls alot there. its really weird. wifi works fine usually although some public wifi connections have the port you need to download from the market blocked so don't get frustrated if that doesn't work either. internet browsing works fine over wifi though
my wife has the exact same phone and has the exact same problems in that area so I'm pretty sure its not the phone
also oddly I never tried using my phone at the mall before the JI6 update (Which I got OTA not a manual install) so I suppose it could have to do with the update but I cant confirm that.
I can say that my Mytouch 3G worked in the same area just fine (although its been a month or so since I tryed it), so its kinda weird.

A little confusing here since you were able to flash custom roms successfully which is much more harder and dangerous for you and most of us here, AND you can't still figure out how to get the market app working properly? hmm..Not to blame directly on you but your case MUST be very rare.
Ever since I flashed to Overcome 1.2.1 the GPS has been VERY wonky and just plain WRONG. Maps says that I am in the next TOWN which is a good ways away.
GPS Locks are extremely few as well and takes forever to lock on to.
Can anyone else confirm this and or help?
Bumping this up.
When you flashed, did you wipe your cache? With a new rom it always takes a while to reaquire your location. I use the app HereIAm2 from the market to get that first position lock after a rom flash.
Yes I did wipe the caches. Will try that app out if it is free.
Thanks.
EDIT: Noticed that the compass seems to be very inaccurate as well. Weird.

Oh well, that's the least of my probs;-/
i have installed OC 1.2.1 and at one point the whole tab became very sluggish....and all sort of issues appeared such as slow browsing.......then the tab would simply freeze! Reboot did not help at all....
I have since installed OC 1.2.3 with the new kernel and it went ok-ish. But today after rebooting i have all sort of errors (broken messaging service, when i click on the wifi tab to switch on, it says 'error'.etc).
I wonder if others have this sort of probs. I cannot understand how it can work fine for a few hours and then.....kkkkkkkk.
I have the UK tab version with firmware JK5; Also cannot figure it out why it does not show 'overcome v1.2.3 on the build number...it still shows v1.2.1, kernel overcome 97.
I'll have to reflash the lot now.......how annoying.
I am sorry that you are having problems. However hijacking threads is frowned upon here.....

The app is free.
How many roms have you flashed? Maybe it's time to do a factory reset, then flash the full version of the rom/kernal.
Well it did the trick and put me in the correct spot but the compass is still completely wonky.
Oh and this is the first ROM I have flashed. Overcome 1.2.1.
There are apps in the market for that. You want to calibrate the compass, so look for a gps utility. Sorry I don't have one to recommend to you.
Not a problem. I appreciate your advice and welcome any others as well.
One thought about the compass - do you have your tab in a case with a magnetic clip?
Mine works fine out of the leather case, but not when it is in the case.
Just a thought.
No I don't.
To test the GPS to see if there was any interference I put my iPhone 4 into compass mode in maps and did the same with the Tab using the Maps program.
The iPhone 4 was spot on....however the Tab was wrong yet again.
So that means there is no interference.
I am stumped here....and the recalibrate apps did not work either.
Just thought I would try a catch-up.
Since my last comment I moved from Rotos JMIv2 to Overcome 1.2.3 and my GPS also stopped. After 24 hours however, I have got it going through a the use of GPS Status (free from the market) and the LbsTestMode which you can access either through a dialler code or through SGS Toolbox, also free from the market.
To cut the story short, I went from just finding about 3 satelites (with no connectoins), to finding and connecting 10 satelites.
I must say that I am very happy with the current ROM and with the GPS Status program.
Hope this helps if you are still having problems.
I believe that if you dont have wifi or 3g on the tab GPS will not work..

Yes - I've always had the wifi going, but found that unless I had a phone (modem flash) and inserted a sim card, I could never get GPS to do anything.
Has anyone else been experiencing GPS not holding lock or not locking at all? There are tons of people having the problem in the Google groups.... Surprising to not see more about it here..... Let's get the word out if you do.... Mine will not keep a lock no matter what.... Many resets and other nonsense.... It will sometimes lock but loose it on the move or just drop the lock without moving....
Here are some of the fixes that have been tried / tested:
resetting back to stock
removing google services
downgrading maps
changing settings for WIFI
user data wipe
clear cache
Some of those may temporarily fix it, but any sort of long term use the issue always comes back.

yeah, there are been several people that "claim" to have fixed it but... it's not really fixed. there have been many different "solutions" thrown around over in the groups but, again none of them worked long term. it might work for a little while, but not for very long. anyone that has a N7 i suggest you test it out.... Try bringing up maps, cache the offline map and try to use the GPS to navigate somewhere.... It will drop off everytime.
Google is going to have to release a patch, that is going to be the only fix!!

so... what's the deal here. I don't see how more people aren't having this problem with the responses on the google site. have people been successful using it? or do u not use it at all anyway? or is it because you have a ROM that it works on? please let me know.
My temporary solution (as suggested by others) is to ONLY allow 1 app which may access GPS.
So I disabled Earth, Maps, GPS Tester (some widgets may use GPS too) ... only leave Sygic navigator. I've navigated a few long drives without issue. Re-enable those apps will bring back troubles.
This works with different ROMs, so it's not a ROM problem.
Hopefully Google will have a fix soon.
yeah, that only seems to work for a short period of time too! thanks though!
well, at least it's out in the open now and it will force googles hand!

I haven't touched Google services, just simply disabled (GPS-accessing) apps such as Maps, Earth, GPS Tester.
I only left one app (Sygic) on my Tab. The last few days, I've had no issue with GPS navigation. Everytime I've tried,
I got GPS locks within a few seconds. I've done a few drives (mostly under 1-hr) and everything is normal and accurate.
I've not seen it fail yet.
It isn't 'failing' at start, necessarily. It won't keep lock after stopping and starting.
Can you enter address. navigate to the address. Stop and them do it again?

Like going to work ... going to lunch .. going home .. I fired up the app fresh (I clear recent apps often)
haha.. I had quite a few struggles since day one, so I know how to make it fail.
I can start-close/stop-restart Sygic multiple times without failing. But if I re-enable those (GPS) apps and
switch between them ---> GPS no-longer works.
I have never had a issue using Osmand GPS yesterday. Locked on quickly each time after device was put to sleep about 5 times in a moving car ( i was the passenger at the time).
joined the forum to say i'm having the same issue with GPS (and possibly compass). looks like google is aware so that is at least good.
bought the tablet to use in an in-dash car install. loved it until yesterday and today when i started doing more in car function testing. wanted to test the google maps app out out while driving but the compass oriented me cocked in the wrong direction and spun around like a dradle before gps lost me completely. for a bit i thought omg, maybe it's so cheap because they got rid of the GPS chip.
i have to say i hate the google maps application right now too. the old google navigation app was incredible for "chase view" which gave you. the new google maps app is supposed to integrate the nav feature but you must be on a specified route. it's terrible, going to search for the old APK.

thanks! just downloaded and will try it out (once this gps issue gets fixed).
Suggestion to try by others.
"Go into settings, all apps, locate ‘network location’, clear cache, clear data, reboot and try using GPS again. Seen this behavior on another device where it didn’t like the backed up app data restored from the previous device."
NONE of the "fixes" are permanent. As soon as you start moving it loses your location, even if it hold it for an hour.... IT WILL eventually drop out again. All these "fixes" are a waste of time, i have done every single one posted in all teh forums they have talked about N7s. and it ALWAYS goes back to not working again.
it's just frustrating to have a brand new device that doesn't work properly, and then on top of it to do all these silly fixes and research for none of them to work either. bout to take it back and say forget it.

Hello Guys,
I am from India, I got the latest update attached screenshot.
I am facing few issues:-
The phone has become laggy in some departments such as:
1. The fingerprint mark stays on the screen after the screen unlocks.
2. Even after pressing the power button screen doesn't lock. The screen does black out but when I double tab on the screen it directly takes me to the home screen without showing the lockscree first. I am not using Google trusted location or devices to unlock without taking my fingerprint or face recognition.
3. When I try to dial a number it doesn't call at a single go, after pressing multiple times it calls the person whom I am trying to call. It looks very choppy as if the system responding to my commands little later.
4. Whenever I am trying to take the screenshot it doesn't take at a single go, after pressing multiple times the system recognises I am trying to take the screenshot and respond little later.
All the apps are working fine without any lags but the above said things are bothering me a lot.
I hope someone from XDA can assist me with this.
P.S.: I have tried to clear the cache from the boot screen. Also did a test on graphics from the same menu.

Thanks for your reply! I hope somebody facing similar problems has overcome and provide suggestions.
But Sammobile blog has also confirmed these issues.
II havent faced any of these issues post update.
Did you try doing a factory reset? If not, try the same if its not too much of an issue for you.
I have the same but I updated today over mobile data.
Came home and it started to behave like described above.
So I figured it is something with the updated WiFi drivers.
Switched off Wi-Fi and all seems fine now.

No I didn't do factory reset as I have checked from other forums that factory reset is not helping, the new update is broken.

Yes this trick is working.

Also one more question I don't know if it's my phone or everyone is facing this issue. Whenever I switch on VoLTE calls (Screenshot Attached) my phone temperature increases and battery drains.

Everyone is not facing this issue, some of them are facing!
Are you using data over WiFi or Mobile data?

Hello Guys,
I am from India, I got the latest update attached screenshot.
I am facing few issues:-
The phone has become laggy in some departments such as:
1. The fingerprint mark stays on the screen after the screen unlocks.
2. Even after pressing the power button screen doesn't lock. The screen does black out but when I double tab on the screen it directly takes me to the home screen without showing the lockscree first. I am not using Google trusted location or devices to unlock without taking my fingerprint or face recognition.
3. When I try to dial a number it doesn't call at a single go, after pressing multiple times it calls the person whom I am trying to call. It looks very choppy as if the system responding to my commands little later.
4. Whenever I am trying to take the screenshot it doesn't take at a single go, after pressing multiple times the system recognises I am trying to take the screenshot and respond little later.
All the apps are working fine without any lags but the above said things are bothering me a lot.

So, you're saying only the ppl that took the OTA are facing the issues? In that case i will probably try that then if the bug returns for me.
For now after switching WiFi On/Off for me it is gone.
Seen reports that plugging in the charger does the same.
Weird stuff indeed.
Also now i see a fellow Dutch, you by any change using Rabobank stuff (Wallet/App) with tripped KNOX and have no problems with it?

No, its possible that some users who do flash a rom with Odin could face some issues too but i personally don`t. I`am using the ABN bank app and i haven`t rooted for a long time now. I used to do it because of theming and getting updates/upgrades but nowadays i personaly don`t see a reason anymore to root anymore. So i can`t help you with your question.
I happened to flash "ASE5" build two ways :
1. First using ODIN 2 days back . Did a factory reset ,erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced -> None.
2. Went back to previous "ASD5" build, downloaded the "ASE5 OTA" update and installed. Did a factory reset, erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced so far -> None.
*One glitch I'm noticing from the beginning with "ASE5" :
When I click on my apps & games(playstore app>drop down menu on the left), it freezes for a split second while it takes into the main page. With all my effort, I could not fix it. (App cache cleaning only temporarily fixes this).

A split second delay bothers you? What apps are running in the background? Do you have the FaceBook app installed? How did you set your animations?

No it does not "bother"but is a step back in smoothness if that counts. It's a "difference" that I noticed since I was testing both builds back and forth for a comparison. Rest be assured that it's not related to apps installed and animations set.

Erase playstore cache and you won't even notice it for a while only to re-appear after sometime.
"Less noticiable" and "very much noticiable" in my usage in 1x & .5x respectively. In ASD5 build, this transition slips like a soap.
