Two things can be done in that case..
■Full data wipe and test if it happens again
If it happens then,
■Revert to stock and then reflash the rom.
Any how you have to data wipe...

Sammobile.com can help you on that. Check for their release date..
But i would recommend if youre on an older version of 4.4.2 on "i9505", reinstall that rom only to keep towelroot rooting method available...
Plus after a full wipe things are different..if youve done that already. Try stock+reflash..

[Solved] GPS problem ...

Hello people.
I have a problem on my GS4, everytime i want to use the GPS, it can't locate me at all, it says : "searching for GPS signal"
Everything is activated (GPS, Data, Wifi) as it should be.
When i boot my phone, it finds the signal, but it drops it like 5 minutes later and the only way to get it back is to reboot my phone.
Any idea how i can fix this ?
Thanks in advance :victory:

Well problem solved in two steps :
1st : i've tighten up all the screws as seen on this post (yes it was for the GS3 not the GS4 but it was worth a try)
2nd : i've used Faster Fix
And now it gets the signal stronger than ever :victory:
Thanks to both of you guys !

Hi, maybe senior members will help you if you give more info.
Are you running stock or custom Rom? Build number?. How did you upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4? Flashing with ODIN? OTA? KIES?

I believe you installed an application that monitors your data usage. Have you installed something like a battery saver?
I know one case where JuiceDefender turns off your mobile data when you power off your device screen, and refreshes every XXX interval to check for new notifications.
If you don't know, I suggest doing a full factory reset in the Settings application (THIS WILL CAUSE YOU TO LOSE ALL DATA)

I think you might as well do a reflash of stock ROM. If this fails, then something is wrong with your phone.

I am sick of knock on not working!

If this should go in Q&A Please moderator move for me.
After i got the KitKat update it has been downhill from there.
Little by little knock on stopped working. now it does not work at all.
I have doner factory resets several times and nothing seems to fix this.
Is it a hardware issue or software issue?
Is it the proximity sensor???
I am out of ideas.
I am considering switching to either the Galaxy S5 or HTC M8.
Has anyone of you experienced this problem and if so, is there a fix??
I have searched and read many threads here and nobody has a fix.
Completely Frustrated.
Test your sensors in the hidden menu and see what is it.

This has already been done. all sensors working properly.
From the 3845#*800# menu go to settings, and touch update touch firmware wait a few seconds and then try if knock on works

Dear i am also facing the same issue, my knock off is working perfectly but now knock on doesn't seems to work, i become really frustrated done wipe cache, hard reset and now completely messed up everything.
Actually knock performance keeps on deteriorating for me after kk update and now yesterday i got another update D802B and knok on messed up, now i had to use power button to turn my screen on, really frustrating.
As far as my opinion LG G2 is a phone with good hardware and ****ing software.

I feel your pain. this is completely frustrating.
I am going to have to send it in to manufacturer to fix or replace.
I also hate having to use the power button to wake the phone. I was so used to knock on.
Did you fellas try resetting the phone to factory defaults, and then flashing Kitkat from scratch?

This happened to me where knock off would work but wouldn't come back on. Started when I installed custom recovery while on kk, fix was the flash the kdz.
I've avoided custom recovery since then.

yess same was my problem after getting the update when i install recovery via autorec. Actually sutorec downgrades the kernal i think that was the issue for me .
Now just rooted no custom recovery installed. So my problem got resolved.

I'd take your device to a Samsung Service Center and ask them to take a look it! It maybe a hardware problem that can be easily fixed.

You could contact Samsung directly and ask them if they have a Service Center near you. Or ask them to send you a free post baggy to send your device to them for repairs.

[FIXED] Soft-bricked Note 3 LTE (SM-N9005)

When I turn my phone on it goes into boot loop. I tried accessing TWRP but it's not good either, it would just show the startup screen and nothing will happen. I don't know how this happened because my phone was working perfectly last night before I slept. I didn't charge my phone so when I woke up the battery was drained. So I plugged in my charger and turn it on, it'll just go into boot loop just like what I said earlier. Please help. I have read that I should flash stock through Odin, but where can I find it? Please help. Thanks!
Go on sammobile.com

Thanks, I actually know that I have to go to that site to download the firmware, I just needed some confirmation haha! But this here is my real (stupid-ish) question, is it possible to recover/access my data? Will it be lost after flashing?
When my device was bricked a bit times... I flashed the firmware and all my data wasn't lost it just changed the system and did not delete any data... But make sure u only flash the firmware version that was present before u bricked your device....
MOST of the times it doesn't delete any data☺
