Hello everyone, I've been looking on this forum for the past week trying to find the GPS patch for the Note 2, 4.3, CM10.2. It just keeps saying "Searching for GPS". I hate to ask a question that's been asked already but i'm unable to find a current fix for my phone. thanks in advance
Have you tried GPS Status - Test & Fix from Google Play?

Thank you for the responses. Unfortunately those methods didn't work. I was outside with the phone for over 30 minutes and the "Searching for GPS" continued to show. The dr. ketan download fix shows Note 2 7100, however mine is the sprint version sph-l900. Would this make a difference? Thank you

I got mine to work by installing a TW ROM first getting a lock and afterward install PA android 4.3. I hope this helps. Make sure you have a lock first while your trying to install PA 4.3.

I'm not familiar with a TW ROM or PA android 4.3. I'm assuming it replaces CM10.2 completely?

Actually, I didn't just bought it. I originally bought 2 Nexus 4 at launch. One was for my dad and one is for me. I didn't opened mine until now, which is many months after launch.
I don't know which version of Android is on my phone, but I think it's probably 4.1. I know about the LTE hack and how it was disabled in 4.2. Now that Android 4.3 is out, how can I update to 4.3, but still keep LTE as an option? I prefer stock Android, but a friend is telling me to install Cyanogen Mod. Won't that require a root and is Cyanogen using Android 4.3 yet?
Anyways, my main priority is to update to Android 4.3 while keeping LTE if possible. How can I do that? Thanks!
Nexus 4 comes stock with 4.2. You can use LTE but you'll have to flash a zip file that will enable it. Yes I believe CM has a 4.3 build already.

Will I need to root my phone to enable it? I thought there's also some sort of key command to activate LTE?
Regardless, if I upgrade to Android 4.3 right now, is there a way to enable LTE or you don't recommend me to do any sort of updates until I have sort out the LTE issues? I'm just afraid that after upgrading to 4.3, I won't have any recourse to go back and get things right.

You will have to flash a custom recovery which isnt that hard. There are a lot of guides out there that will certainly help! Yesterday I came across this vid and he explains it very well!

Does anyone know of a new Android 4.3 Touchwiz ROM? 4.3 has recently been released on the GT-I9505 and I have been wondering if anyone has implemented this into their ROMs yet. I'll probably just flash a Loki patch if it isn't already loki'd.
Anyone have a suggestion or idea? Comment below!

I have already tried flashing the VisionX II on my ATT MF3 S4 with no luck. ROM tries to flash and returns success but progress bar never fills. I flashed the Knootz kernel with no help there either. Upon re-boot, phone passes thru Safestrap and then black screen and goes no further. Like to know if anyone has been able to flash the new VisionX v4.3 and what I did wrong if anything.

Did you flash a loki patch? Remember that it's made for the I9505 and not the I337
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You don't need to flash loki if you flash the att ktoonz kernel. I did not use safe strap so I cannot answer that question but with twrp I was able to successfully flash vision I I. This rom is amazing and really fast. If you can I suggest you give it a shot.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I've done so, but with Philz touch. It didn't work though, as it just gave me a black screen after it booted, and then otherwise just kept rebooting without even continuing with a boot animation. I did flash Loki doki, but do you think it would make a difference if I were to flash the AT&T kernel itself?
Sent from my GT-I9505G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
All I did was factory reset then flashed the rom and then flashed the ktoonz att kernel. Then wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted. Works perfectly...you don't need to mess with loki if you flash an att kernel as they already have it.

Ah yeah. I've actually done so before I read this message and I have it running on my phone right now. I want to get mobile data to work though, and so far it's not going anywhere. I've even given it the right APN, but I guess it's just not showing up when I turn it on. Have you had problems/solutions towards this?

Yes I have mobile data to work. I entered the right apn (ATT PHONE) and then saved it. Also I changed the network mode to lte/wcdma/gsm. I've heard the new audism 4.3 kernel works very well but I have yet to have a problem with ktoonz and have amazing battery life.

Thanks for the link im excited now!
Has anyone updated to 4.3 official using any of the roms from sammobile? I see the nordic countries 4.3 is available, I normally use either this, the German or Swedish version, I've even used a Hong Kong one before now lol, but with the recent changes Sammy have made regarding knox and location lock etc, I'm a bit dubious to upgrade.
They normally just work, just checking this is still the case before I end up with an expensive paperweight.
There is a thread somewhere by chainfire with a fix to sammys region lock. The lion rom is pretty much stock with nox removed, you just have to use devil's kernel for wifi

I have flashed mine to the nordic contries im in uk and everything works great yes it has knox but I have had no problem rooting or installing custom roms. Im on the new skynote 4.3 note 3 edition and its the best rom I have used so far

Cheers mate. I flashed it the other day haven't got around to posting an update yet.
Yes it has knox, but I'm not going to be rooting this device because I use it for sky and a few other apps that require unrooted.
Impressions are good so far. Everything is smooth and all my apps are working as they were before, including the sky sports app which got an update recently to work with 4.3.
One thing to note though, if you use allshare cast dongle. It has a problem working with 4.3 devices that have been updated. So if you run into this issue the fix is to do a factory reset.
There is a workaround for rooted devices on here, it's in the S4 section.
A bit of a pain having to reset I know but seems to be the only solution for unrooted devices that run into it.

Hi mate
I'm also using the sky go app, and on stock 4.1 I've just been using ota rootkeeper to toggle root when needed. I really need root for the viper audio mod.
I'm just wondering which 4.3 ROM you've got it to work on? With 4.1.2 it NEEDS to be stock ROM and kernel for sky go to work. If I upgrade I want to get a ROM without knox, but any custom ROM won't work.
Please let me know as right I'm sticking to 4.1.2.
Thanks

There weren't any custom rom's available for the 7105 that were stock with knox/location lock removed when I last checked (may be different now?). I just used the nordic rom from sammobile.
If there's none available I think you'll need to wait for a dev to rip the rom and remove knox if you don't want it. Unless you have the time and skills to diy I got the skills but not the time, unfortunately
As I said, I'm not bothered about knox at the moment. I was more bothered by location lock, but I've not had any issue so far.

Yeah I will probably do that at some point.
I'm assuming I can restore my nandroid backup to 4.1.2 if I'm not happy?
The xposed mod unfortunately didn't work... Thanks anyway
Some apps are funny as to what they decide is a security risk. Sky are so far up Apple's arse they tend to look for anything that's NOT as the manufacturer released as a security issue. It's actually bollocks but try telling them that.
My other Note 2 is rooted and running 4.3 without all the bs. But most of the apps I need simply won't install/run due to idiotic requirements of the app provider. Hence why I have a 2nd note 2 which has been rooted but I had to unroot and reset the flash counter to get these apps to work. Guess Sammy aren't too fussed, they did get 2 sales from me lol

Thought I would share cuz it took me forever to figure it out but if you want to get rid of that custom padlock after root...you can use the Wanam Xposed Module. Just go into security hacks and check "fake system status" to make it"official" again. This might be old news but it took me forever to find something that worked.

It does work, just did it this morning. Are you familiar with how to enable modules in the Xposed framework app (Go to modules and make sure that is is checked, then reboot.) Also for this particular module (And most that mess with boot stuff) a second reboot is required to see the changes.
Yep. .. That did it. .. Thanks

Are you on a custom ROM? I had it working on stock then flashed a ROM and it stopped; or should I say it worked intermittently . After this latest OTA I decided to remain stock and it's working fine again on every reboot ... Not saying that this is your issue, just thought I'd throw it out there.

Another great module for Xposed is called "Unicon". Lets you change your icons everywhere on your phone...even the lockscreen shortcuts and some settings icons. Uses icons from almost any launcher theme without having to change launchers.
???Sent from my precious Samsung Galaxy Note 3???
I've had this icon ever since I rooted this puppy. Never goes away. Even when I odin back to full stock firmware. Wanam only masks this. But it does not work for me, regardless. So how does one actually get this to go away other than odin stock flash? Cuz if I ever need to revert back for warranty, it's still gonna be there on my phone.
