GPS problem solved!

GPS problem solved!
Have had huge problems with my GPS and sought advice both here and other forums.
EVERYTHING has been tried, all possible combinations of room's, radios, and ril'files, fasterfix, gps status, fastreboot, delete cache Dalvik etc. I can not count all the times I've gone out on the porch and pointed my HD to the sky with new hope but no result. The best I have achieved is fix during the 5-10 minutes with an accuracy of about 140m .....
Then I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qm_z65LA8k
Thank you knglaser
It seems that the GPS antenna sits in the flash cover!
I tried to press the flashcover and it worked just like an on and off switch for the GPS, satelites just fell in and in a matter of seconds I had the fix of 10 satellites This with an accuracy of 5-6m.
Picked out the blitz cover and "adjusted" the contacts between the cover and the phone and put it back in place, it took about 2 minutes.
After this operation GPS works perfectly
I am now happy since this has been incredibly annoying, I use GPS to both training and in the car and have not been to happy to send the phone back to repair since this usally takes long time.
Hope this can help others who are struggling with the same problem?

Thank you for this. At first i dismissed this as my gps problems only started immediately after the ota gb upgrade installed - it was then taking over 4 minutes to get a fix. However in desperation i took phone out of case - simply pressed the cover in the place shown in video (didn't even have to remove) and hey presto now get fix in seconds. Put phone back in case and all is still well.
Simple but yet very effective - thank you.
Not sure why the upgrade should have triggered this problem though?

Sadly, pushing the cover down is not working for me. Thanks for the video though. I will have to get some tools and pop the cover off to see if it looks like my contacts are no good as well.

apparently i solved my gps problem but not like above. i tried but didnt worked.So i install the new version of gps test, go to settings and then i push clear AGPS from top.then update agps.restart application and seems to work now. I will see. Pls tell me if you try like me and what is your experience

Can you help me Fix my DEAD GPS? It use to work, but not anymore!

Ok, I need help troubleshooting/fixing my GPS.
Here is what is going on. I got the Vibrant when it first came out, I had the normal GPS problems as everyone else. Once Samsung released the GPS update, I applied it, and my GPS worked (as good as it could).
So everything was cool, until I installed KB1, my GPS died, never locked onto sats. So today I just tried istalling KB5 through Kies to see if this would resolve my issue. NOPE, GPS is still dead.
Next, I installed Rooted and deodexed KB5. My GPS is still dead. I have run Samsung's GPSRESTORE app, but it gets stuck on "Position FIX" and tells me to move to open sky and try again. I AM STANDING OUTSIDE.
My GPS DID WORK PRIOR TO UPDATING TO KB1, THEN DIED when I installed KB1. Something happend when I installed KB1.
My GPS is completely dead.
Any suggestions?

Try hardware fix, your GPS antenna might not even be connected inside.

I don't think my issue is related to the GPS antenna. I say this because my GPS did work, but instantly went dead when I updated to KB1.
Clearly the two are connected, something happened after I installed KB1, unrelated to the antenna.

try flashing a custom rom. Seems like you've only tried the stock roms with broken gps. Look in the development section for the plethora of gps healthy roms.

Do the custom roms use a modified modem other than the one the stock uses? The dev went into kb5 modem and modified it?
Otherwise it should give the same result, if the modems are the same. No?

What happens if you ODIN to original firmware and then update to JI6 build which is 2.1 eclair ? Test it with this setup and check your gps under clear sky.
Next, try connecting to wifi and opening google maps. Also, do you have a dedicated gps app like copilot installed? Try opening that

When I ODIN to JFD, my GPS is still dead.
I haven't tried updating back to JI6, JI6 was the official release prior to Kb1, correct?
I will try that!
Can you explain the reason behind connecting with wifi? The issue is I don't connect to any satellites anymore. The GPS app I use is GPStest by chartcross.

Correct JI6 was official OTA update that was supposed to fix the GPS.
The reason I ask about wifi is because its possible that there maybe an issue with your sim and data so wifi will help google maps use data without your sim

What could be the issue with the sim/data?
When I enter LBStest mode, and I click position test, it is basically dead. It doesn't even see any satellites. No action what so ever. All the fields are blank.
I can't find Ji6, is it in the development section somewhere?

Hmm, you can download JI6 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798125&highlight=T959UVJI6
Regarding sim, I was just thinking a temporary issue with your area or your account. Have you performed hardware fix in the past? The reason I ask is sometimes the contact comes lose and breaks if you bent it too much.

I've never opened up my phone, so no I haven't done the hardware fix. I'm pretty sure it got screwed up during the kb1 update for some reason.
Thanks for the ji6 link, I will try that.

Anytime after a new rom my gps doesn't work i use the digitaltoddy fix. Super easy, always works. Should be in my first signature guide.

2 weeks ago i had same problem. Now i am rocking with my vibrant, all i did was called samsung since it was still under warranty. I shipped my vibrant to samsung....they could not figure out what was wrong with it....all i knew was that they changed printed board (i guess its circuit board)...once i got it....GPS was working fine... That was my situation...rest u can decide what u wanna do!!!!

oh i just found the digitaltoddy fix, going into lbstest mode, clearing gps data, setting to cold start? Ya i've done that already, but didn't know it had a name, haha.

Sucks but seems like your gps is dead then. I'd say send it to Samsung and they should fix it. You could try opening the phone but why go through the hassle only to find the gps has electrical problem and needs replacement.
Good luck dude, didn't see you here since Froyo was rolled out

Sounds like it's dead. ODIN back to stock and exchange it for another.

I have the same issue.
I wish it had happened BEFORE I did the FFC mod and voided my warranty.
I may have to open this sucker up yet again to see if I can do another hardware fix.
ugh.

Put the stock cam back in, paint hole with black nail polish, then send in for warranty. I did with mine when my usb port got wonky. No questions were asked, and all of the in store sales reps knew I modded my phone.

GPS doesn't work on Kitkat

So I installed a few different stock Kitkat roms on my note 3 (Australian version). At some stage I realised that the gps wasnt working by not getting a singal. I've gone and done many fresh installs with odin of different stock roms and still can't get it to work.
I've used gps status and after fixing a-gps data it will sometimes show many satellites on the horizon but with a very weak signals. If it does finally get a signal after a reboot it won't work again.
I've manually replaced the gps config file and it doesn't help. Also when I use an AOSP rom the gps works perfectly, locks fast and accuracy good.
Any ideas/suggestions on how to get the gps working again will be appreciated!

Not sure to be honest but I have two Notes here with different antennas (our whatever it is that sits on top of the GPS chip), running different Roms but they both seem to get into a state where they suddenly lose the signal, from 10 Satellites or so down to none, then reset GPS and eventually get it going again......could take quite some time or require reboots.
I find that X-Note (non stock kernel!) is much better but did not completely eliminate the issue.
I've rooted one of the phones so I can't return that for warranty and knowing Samsung Australia they would do nothing to help me anyway.
I'm pretty sure that ALL Notes have the issue but it seems to be random and only triggered after some time off operation.....so if you're not running GPS all the time you may not notice.

Someone has posted a gps fix zip. Which is supposed to work. I was afraid I might break something so didn't try it. I installed bob cat rom hoping that would fix it. but it didn't. Mine is international lte. So it isn't supposed to have the gps problem. Knox has tripped over so I am out of warranty. As the aosp rom works go back to that. Or just go from rom to rom till you have what you want which has gps working. I think x rom has working gps but not sure yet. Will know once installed. And i will find that gpsfix zip and install that.

Thanks, wouldn't happen to have a list of n9005 4.4.2 roms with gps fix installed would you? I think thousands of people would happily void their warranty to get it. That is the only reason I installed another rom and voided mine.
But it didn't fix the gps neither do the gps status etcetera.

Sorry but I don't. I think ALL 4.4.2 have that bug, at least all the ones I looked at. I don't know whether this is an Australian thing but it's very strange.
When it gets 'confused' the map that usually shows the satellites in view (or that should be in view) has ALL of them in one spot at the top end of the circle. A clear AGPS data usually fixes this but it sure looks like a software bug. I assume Samsung will eventually fix this. It ONLY happens certain times of the day. yesterday it did not happen before 14:30 but when it did, it did so on both Note 3 I have access to.

For me in australia with lte version it is a case of never getting enough satelites to get a fix and losing soon after. While my i9305 and my wife's n7100 both work fine all the time. So I cannot see it as just an at and t or verizon usa problem. My phone is with optus who updated the firmware as soon as I turned it on. But as I wrote no go so tried sweet, x, omega, bobcat stuck with bobcat 8 more success with gps on 8 than 9. Hopefully 10 will be more like 8. Perhaps 4.4.3 has a fix..
cheers

Curious, there seems to be a multitude of Australians with this issue..
You're going to have trouble aquiring a GPS lock these few days everywhere though. There has been a CME on 04/06/2014 (international dating) that hit Earth at 07/06/2014 and sparked a G2 geomagnetic storm. It plays havoc on all radiosignals, including GPS. It'll be bothersome for another week or two, most likely.

Gps experience with stock rom
Here is my experience in Without rooted complete stock ROM GPS Locking Time.:good:
Bought SM-N 9005 in December(U.A.E)- Jelly Bean- GPS Lock within 4 to 5 Seconds without any Help of Internet.
January Flashed Kitkat Poland (XEO) GPS Lock within 60 seconds without Internet, with Internet 30 to 40 Seconds,:crying:
April Flashed UK (BTU) GPS Lock timing same as Poland.:crying:
May Flashed U.A.E version again GPS LOCK WITHIN 4 to 5 Seconds without any Help of Internet.:good:
I am from U.A.E my question is GPS has anything to do with region? I mean GPS software is inside CSC or ROM or Kernel????

Try entering root folder and open up etc>gps.conf using text editor and change LPP_PROFILE to 3 instead of 0.

sama with me. i alteady try many rom include stock ne4 firmware. cannot lock the gps signal. felling sad.

[Q] GPS Issues after flashing back from Lollipop

Hi there,
I´ve had several roms in the past on my Note 3 (SM-N9005) and eventually went back to the Dutch stock rom (Kitkat), with me not being able to wait for the Dutch release of Lollipop i've flashed it without any troubles but I missed the Blocking mode from Kitkat so I reverted back to Kitkit but now I seem to be unable to get a GPS fix.
I've installed GPS Status app and some other apps that write the GPS config on the rooted Kitkat rom but no luck, i've also switched a few times from Lollipop to Kitkat to see if it would make a difference but it didn't.
Now when I open the GPS Status app or any other app that needs GPS the Icon of Android self stopped blinking and says it has a GPS fix but this is false or with will blink and eventually give me a fix.
Any of you any ideas or is the GPS done for?
Thank you for your help!

I also have the same problem the battery has been great for lollipoo but the gps is not working bumping this topic

I can confirm this issue with GPS. It won't lock GPS at all.

Do you people go out of the house to test gps ? You won't get a lock in your bedroom.
I'm asking, because i know that many don't do so.

Hi there,
Yes I test in the outside, even with a clear sky the GPS won't get a fix.
I am not sure but looks like the bootup of the GPS doesn't seem to work fine. Sometimes like 1 in 50 the GPS will boot up and give me a accurate fix.

[BEER REWARD :)] GPS Not working on my Note 3 (tried EVERYTHING)

Hi all, I tried everything I found on the Internet.
I thought it was a cable problem, a contact problem.
I opened and closed my Note 3 several times with no luck.
This is what happens: my GPS cannot fix any satellite.
I made a video to show what happens.
Note that it was trying to fix since about 30 minutes.

As GPS is a function of kernel have you swapped kernels .
Did you use GPS Fix to wipe and redownload AGPS data .
What model is it .

I prefer not having GPS, but using a stable and tested rom.

Thx for the help

I found a thread on Reddit that fixed my GPS once, then a thread here that fixed it better the 2nd time. It has to do with pulling the back off and bending the tabs that connect to the GPS antenna on the rear. These threads tell and show all. Follow these and GPS issues should be resolved.

I am on Android 6 MM. Using custom ROM DarkWolf. Before flashing custom ROM (stock 5.0) no issues (only issues I having was always constantly "Searching for GPS..." on each time reboot). I also try reflash the ROM and tried another custom ROM Phronesis ROM, no luck. I haven't try flash CM yet. Some mention because of Android version upgrade like lollipop to marshmallow will cause this issues. Currently I unsure is software or hardware cause it. Also, it might cause by motherboard.

note3 for indoor with apgs. In the beginning, I think it's GPS issue leading me can't play Pokemon. But indoor, we can only have agps, so I try to look at the setting and see if this works for you
1. Use faster GPS to change the NTP server by select continent and region you are in.
2. In faster GPS, go to advance to change setting. Change value of intermediate_post to 0. This one is important and I find it helps to lock my location by agps in a second. otherwise, location is found with 4km error
3. Use GPS status app to reset and download the agps data. This make the error distance even shorter
4. Of course,restart and enjoy
I do this and I can lock my location even indoor with a second. Hope it works for you. I try this out by myself and hope this helps you
Cheers
