Hey guys and gals,
I am asking this question for a friend of mine. I have searched the thread and could not find any results. Everytime she tries downloading an app from the market it is unsuccessful no matter what app it is. She has rebooted, toggled airplane mode. If there are any known fixes to this issues please help me help her. I really appreciate the help.
Thank You
Tom
Market not Downloading
Did you try to reset your Google talk account. I know on the Backflip that will fix it about a third to half of the time. Another thing to try is switching to air plaine mode and back. Those are things that have worked with Moto devices and seeing how they are all android I thought it would be worth a try.

Try going to settings, manage applications, then choose the market (under the heading "all") and clear data.

I have tried both of these methods and unfortunately neither of them have worked. My friend took the phone in and Sprint techs did some type of test on it and came back out with a brand new phone out of the box. She's only had the phone for about 2 weeks if that. So hopefully this one will treat her good. Thanks for the input and feedback it is greatly appreciated.

so as many of us here i had the gps problem, and i started to not care anymore. The other day after i flashed Trigger 3.2, i also flashed some useful apps like SGS tool, spare parts etc. As i was going over those apps, i went to SGS tools, and noticed GPS fix all the way at the bottom. I decided to give it a try but didnt think it would work. I clicked and then select north-america.... and apply.
And surprisingly my GPS has been working perfectly fine since then.
So those of you who still have gps problem, try that
Hope this help

This has been posted before, it works for some people and it doesn't for others. Just like every other GPS fix out there. Not trying to be rude and I'm sure everyone appreciates you trying to help, but duplicate threads just create clutter. Once again I am not trying to be rude so please do not take it that way.
flashing the S.gps is the easiest way as I know
This is kind of random, but did anyone notice that the latest Kies update fixes/helps GPS?
With KA6, I have to manually set GPS mode to MS-Based and change the supl settings before I get a quick lock. With KB5, it works very well right out of the box. No configuration needed.
ooooohhhh

Could you please explain your problem, you do not need to open new thread every time.
if no one gives an answer then it usually means no one has the answer. unless you really did **** the guy with the answer's mom.
send the phone to Samsung AS to be looked at.
the worst that could happen is you find out what is wrong and either pay to have it fixed or you don't.
either way you find out what is wrong.

the problem is that the gps don't work, it start to search the signal, but never find it, it is able to find the place where i'm, but in a too big approximation, because i think it is not broken, but may be some sofware issue, can you help me please?
What did you do to try and fix it? Flash different firmware? Are you rooted? Which ROM version? Did you try resetting to factory defaults? Tried some GPS apps (like GPS test)? Tried searching for gps.conf files?
Did you try *anything* before posting here? We are not wizards and can't read minds, really...

1, Have u tried complete reset including all the data
2, If that does not work u can also try flashing a new firmware using Odin and reset the device from setting / accounts / backup & reset
hopefully one of the method will solve your issue

yes, thank you for the answer, my s4 is rooted yes, with the stock firmware. i flashed many rom, and 2 times the stock firmware and the recovery. i have a backup of the efs folder, there is something there about the gps?
Not really, EFS holds the IMEI and such data IMHO. Try downloading GPS Test from the Play Store and test the GPS.
Download GPS Status from the Play Store.
Start the app, go tools/manage GPS state/download.
This will download the assistance data.
Get a line if sight to the sky outdoors or at least beside a window and wait for the satalite bars to turn green.
Remember, GPS will struggle to get a fix indoors.
This topic inspired me and other members to make this kind of topics
Do you have Yahoo! Weather installed? This killed my GPS lock, uninstalled it and GPS works fine again.
If not Yahoo! Weather, think about any other location-aware apps you have installed since it last worked and try uninstalling them.
Alright so recently out of the blues whenever I go on Google Maps or browse the internet on the S4. It turns off by itself, I try it again and it does it again. Not sure exactly why but I'm looking for an explanation of some sort, or if some one else is facing the same issue. It would be kindly appreciated if any one could enlighten me to as what I should do to solve such an issue.
Thanks for taking the time
does this only happen with certain apps or will it shut down by doing anything within the phone?

Try rooting, installing Xposed, installing Wanam, enabling it in Xposed, reboot, and look for the option about SystemServer Crash and try enabling it.

You should provide more details like firmware version, the physical state of your phone at least, before asking such questions. The issue can be of software or hardware nature but you didn't provided any useful information ...
Out of curiosity, just turn off GPS and try to reproduce the issue. If you don't want to root and use the tools to trace the logs, the process of elimination is the only way to narrow the issue down.
Fixed the issue.
Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to reply, it seems I have found what caused this issue. It was actually my battery, one of the gold plates within it needed to be properly cleaned, in which I did and everything went back to normal. I thought maybe perhaps it had something to do with the custom ROM itself.
Thanks for taking the time guys, really means a lot XDA community has always been amazing!
Almost daily now I'm getting pop up windows for my apps to redo the permissions. Anyone with thoughts, help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

I just had this happen to me over the weekend. Additionally, I lost all of my paired bluetooth devices. It occurred right after I deleted a couple old devices from my Google account and logged in to an N7 freshly flashed with Marshmallow. Coincidence?
Just had it happen again after a powerup. This time it was just permissions and not bluetooth pairings. I hope this doesn't become a new "Optimizing Apps" for this phone.
I noticed the same problem , also when I restart my phone the time and date change to 21 of June !!? Its weird actually
Same problem. I am in the middle of a data reset to see if it helps. Obviously not the best fix since I must redo everything. Hopefully it works! If not I need a better solution.

Please check back with your results. I was about to take that plunge but I'm happy to let you be the guinea pig. :fingers-crossed:

So far so good but give me another day to test...
Mine are not lighting up and not working. I have done various resets and things would be back to normal, but that has stopped now. Have made enquiries and people are saying it's the Google app and you have to disable it then enable, but that doesn't work either. Has anyone else had this issue? Factory resets were advised in other threads but did not work. I'm getting so many bugs on this phone that it's starting to piss me off
Have you tried initializing in smart switch. Or using odin to flash the latest firmware?

I''ll give that a try as that seems to be the only option left apart from returning it.
Gave it a try x 2 and it initially appears to work. Then installed some apps and it reverted back. Tried again, and tried setting up as a new phone, same thing. This phone has to be the most disappointing smartphone I have ever had. Permanent bugs, poor sound. Should have waited for the HTC 10.
In Accessibility Settings check if "One touch mode" is enabled. Disable it.

Don't have one touch mode anywhere . This phone is really beginning to piss me off. Surely a replacement can't have as many bugs as the one I have. Samsung Internet hardly ever works, the settings I save never save and now this. i'm thinking Samsung rushed this out.
Maybe it's called "Single touch mode" or something similar, I'm translating from Italian...

Have you tried the app called galaxy button lights? It might fix the problem.
Heres a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.notquiteinsane.galaxybuttonlights
Also check to see if you have powersaving enabled. When enabled the recent and back keys do not illuminate.

I think your only option is to get a replacement then. Hope you get a working one becuase this really is a great phone.
So people say but I have had nothing but problems with it. The sound quality is poor, it never saves my settings and I had to pay £200 to replace the screen whilst out jogging. I didn't drop it, it was in my arm strap for the entire 2 mile jog back from the gym. I'd love to swap it for a HTC 10 as I had the M7 and M8 and they were great phones and I didn't have any issues with them.

You must have just got a faulty one. I have had mine since it was released here in the uk and have not had a single problem with it other than the occasional reboot but thats acceptable and is just in the nature of Android. I would try a replacement but if you prefer you could sell it and put what ever you get towards a htc 10.

Is powersave mode on?
I've taken it to Samsung on Oxford St, London. After waiting 90 mins a member of staff tried the buttons and then said they will have to send it away for repair and it will take 7-8 days. Then instead of posting it back to me I have to go back to Oxford St and presumably have to wait the same time to get it back. Shambolic customer service.
