I can't seem to get a lock on with GPS on either of the custom roms for my note 3. Any ideas on how to fix this? I play Ingress. I need it.

Have any of you frozen any apps/system processes? My GPS is solid and locks on in a few seconds.

I haven't altered any system apps or frozen anything. Is as close to stock as possible on jellybeans rom v2. I am thinking I may just have to go back to my stock rooted setup.

I had the same problem. I fixed it by odin flashing the MJ7 modem.
I'm on hyperdrive and also can't get a gps lock on a clear day. I tried everything from his gps quick fix in tweaks, fix permissions, gps fix apps, etc. I don't get a single lock. I'm on mj7 but maybe I need to reflash the modem? Where did you find the modem? I searched all over.
This sucks as I need the gps!

SAME problem! Super irritating!
I actually found the mj7 modem and reflashed but still get no gps lock whatsoever.
Bump please anyone I can not get a single gps either on stock it was instant please help just flashed the MJ7 modem and did not help the situation thanks.
Currently attempting to install a stock rom on another safestrap partition. I'll try establishing a gps lock on that to see if it can hopefully re-configure the gps.

Has anyone tried changing to their "stock" partition (with stock ROM on it) getting a GPS lock on the stock then going back to a custom ROM on ROM slot 1? This was the fix with the dual boot Note 2 going back in between 2 ROMs.

Currently in the process of doing this. I overwrote my stock rom with hyperdrive to save space, so I'm downloading/installing a stock MJ7 rom in one of the other slots. I'm hoping this works. I will report back findings
---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------
I tested out the stock rom and got GPS lock immediately. Went back to Hyperdrive and still couldn't get a lock after 10 minutes. Popped back over to the stock rom and locked instantly again. Something isn't quite right..
---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------
Unfortunately I also can't post in the android development forums to let the dev know about my findings. If someone could do that and maybe even link to this thread that would be awesome. I've tried everything I could think and has been suggested at this point.
Another update - I installed a fresh flash of hyperdrive on another room slot and booted up to help rule out any application problems and the with the fresh flash gps did not work.
Just posted link in hyper drive thread and tagged developer hopefully we get a response to this issue we are having with gps.

Thank you very much good sir.
Seems like this issue might be being ignored. I'm amazed more aren't having this issue or just aren't using gps. The only difference I can think of is that I upgraded to MJ7 before flashing. I would think if it's not working after a clean flash that the gps issues would be very widespread. Maybe we can draw attention with a bounty. I'm certainly willing to contribute if this gets a fix.

I'm having this problem as well and I didn't upgrade to MJ7 before safestrap and hyperdrive. I found a temporary fix by going to google maps in your application manager and clearing data and cache but after a day of useage, it's back to not locking. Now the fix doesn't seem to be working, at least not from my backyard, i'll try it from the road and report back. Still, we need a real fix for this. I use GPS and google maps all day for work and I really can't deal with a problem like this.
anyone tried using gps status and check the number of satellites that you can possibly connect to (should be something like 0/18)?

I'm trying to figure out why your gps is not locking. I finished flashing cleanrom the other night and gps locked instantly. But it starting to look a problem because it's more than a handful of users with this issue. Did Beans or Sbreen get back to you?
First of all, thanks to all the guys who post on here and develop some of these great ROMs. I bought a Note 3 online that had a custom rom installed and no backup. The phone turned on and off and didn't work properly. Just reading these forums helped somebody who knew nothing about this stuff to somebody who was able to install the verizon stock back onto the phone, then root it, install safestrap and install two custom roms (jelly beans and lite). The phone works great with the exception of the following: when using the camera lines appear on the screen and show up sometimes on the pictures, secondly my gps is a little off and doesn't see exactly where I'm at and doesn't work properly. This is the same on both roms I boot from. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
Go back to stock and see if the problems persist. If so then it's the phone and not the rom.

The problem persists. I actually, read about disabling wifi and image stabilization and that's pretty much eliminated the lines when using the camera, but I can't figure out the issue with gps.
Download an app like gas status and see if that helps. Besides that just might be a defect.

If I flash stock kitkat my Samsung keyboard won't work (force closes over and over).. I've no problems with any custom roms, on sweetrom now with no problem.. It's not a massive issue but it's annoying me! Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it?
P. S- installing SwiftKey etc isn't fixing it..

You may need to do a full wipe when you flash stock, it's possible something has corrupted somewhere along the line.
Yeah I've tried all the usual tricks, re - downloaded stock from several places with no luck.. It's baffling me..

Format all your data in system via CWM - then reinstall your ROM from scratch, it'll fix any coruption issues. ->>> Important >>> Make sure you make/get a PIT file for your device before you change anything in case you need to sort your partitions out for a reflash
I'll give it a try thank_you...
Nope still got the same problem.. Must be some weird conflict with my phone that I can't pin down.. Like I say I'm on a custom rom anyway but it irritates me because I know it's still there...

How bizarre , I'd stick with the custom ROM for now just in case something else gets crazy corrupted - This Kitkat stuff atm is causing havoc all around.
Yeah I think you're right, maybe different batches of phones and buggy kitkat are causing problems for a few of us? It'll all get ironed out in the end hopefully..

I got the same problem. KitKat update failed in the end and had to CF_Root in order to boot up.
Action Memo (with pen) are not working for me as well. It is all linked with Handwiting somehow.
Is your Action Memo broken also ?
The only thing that I didn't do is Wipe Data/Factory Reset in Recovery mode.
Did you try that ?

got the same problem as yours, no idea why though, after the update samsung keyboard and action memo stopped working.
I think I will wipe it tomorrow but it seems it's not working either
I'm checking around and they say that problem probably lies in the application S Pen Keep, there is no data on this one ... I guess as you said it's linked to the handwriting recognition. tried to do that using Snote transform into text as well and it immediately stopped working as well..
For time being I'm using different keyboard and I like it better than stock one. I really don't want to wipe a phone. Takes so much time to install everything back.

Did u guys intentionally or unintentionally uninstalled Samsung apps? From what I've understand, certain Samsung apps needs to be either freeze thru TB or disable it...
Haven't touched it. I've upgraded to KitKat without updating a bootloader and it happened.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
same here, got the OTA update, after that it simply stopped working.. I don't need the keyboard .. I need the action memo more
Mine still isn't working, I'm on omega rom now so it doesn't affect me, but it still does it if I flash stock... Strange..
try to download another stock rom? maybe that will fix it.. if it did .. let us know... try to download the newest one that came up in Poland..
mine got fixed by formatting and wiping, re-download another stock rom I guess yours has some form of data missing ..
@Colide , just go back to factory settings , will resolve the issue, do it from the recovery of course.
I kinda hate it to wipe data. Lot of apps to reinstall. Thanks for a tip. ?

No, stock ROM. Never flashed a ROM, Knox 0x0.
I believe I found a solution. I have installed Greenify, but it was disabled under my accessibility services. Apparently that's how it is set by default after downloading it, even when rooted. I turned Greenify on under Settings < Accessibility < Greenify and rebooted my phone. I made a few calls and received one and no more Context Service Errors for me. I am quite curious as to what Context Services are and why Greenify would cause those errors as I do not see any information on it relating to the S5, so if anyone has any idea why this happens, feel free to shed some light on it.I wonder also if Context Services are safe to freeze..
Problem returned with a vengeance after several reboots. Now I boot the phone sometimes and there are no errors, other times and constant FCs. Could I have somehow gotten a corrupt Context Service apk when I flashed to Stock Odin, or the NCG or NE9 kernels? Anyone know what Context Services actually is and if it's safe to freeze if there isn't a fix? I found a similar thread for someone having this issue on the At&T variant and someone replied that his Context Service apk was possibly corrupt and that he PM'd him a new one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/help/context-services-stopped-t2837895/post54614539 If this is something that is possible to do, I would greatly appreciate it.. I've looked both on Google and here and there seems to be very little info on Context Services, so I do not wanna freeze something that's unsafe to freeze, but these errors are killing me. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Totally removed Greenify and the problem is gone. I would love to use Greenify, but I would like to know I can do so without causing issues. Does anyone know how Greenify would cause ContextService FCs?
Logcat
i have a logcat of the issue occurring, both by itself and induced via having my girlfriend call my phone. i took this to the xposed forum first and was told it appears not to be module related. if anyone can give me any input on this, i would really appreciate it
i thought it was just me.. however stock rom works fine for me its my custom build i get the fc on.. i dont have greenify in my rom so not sure if thats the root cause or not.. i will try something and report back

plenty of posts saying safestrap won't trip knox, had not heard from anyone as to what restoring a nano would do until i specifically asked this question yesterday though... you referring to a certain thread containing these many posts? because until i asked, the safestrap thread even made NO mention of nano backups as they relate to knox...
Never had that but I did get documents have stop once an it never did it again not sure what was up with that ?
Is there an actual fix for the "Unfortunately, Context Service has stopped" error? I really made a stupid mistake yesterday and froze some system apps in Titanium Backup. At first I was getting a bootloop when the OS tried to load the apps and thought I was going to have to wipe data, but I used adb push to send the entire system/app folder to my phone (got the files/folder from my wife's phone who has the same phone on same ROM - I'm 90% sure it is the rooted KOT49K/ANCG build of Verizon GS5). This adb push allowed my phone to boot entirely, but now everytime I boot the phone up, I get the Contest Service error message. So I just backed up Contest Service 2.0.3 using Titanium Backup on her phone, then put the 3 files it created onto my phone and tried using Titanium to restore Context Service 2.0.3 to my phone but to no avail. I tried restoring app only and also restoring app+ data but the restore never completes in TB (ive changed TB to INDIRECT mode too) but it doesn't fix the problem. When I start the restore, it does stop the error message from constantly appearing but only until the next reboot.
So does anyone know how I can stop from getting this error message? I have another working Verizon GS5 on the same ROM at my disposal.

Change Selinux back to permissive
My setup was the Sprint Galaxy S4 SPH - L720 running Jellybean 4.3 NAE firmware. Long story short, I soft bricked my phone trying to upgrade to a Negaman's Rom & Kernal. Found the stock NAE firmware and flashed through Odin to get back running. Since i had already been rooted unbeknownst to me there was a new upgrade out. Now I'm running running Kitkat 4.4.2 NG2 firmware. I used to be able to use terminal and l the
pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
Commands to enable permission for use with my Pioneer Appradio 3.
But now SeLinux says enforcing and commands don't work. So that's my fault for not checking first. Now my question is, is can I roll back to Jellybean 4.3 or is there a Rom and/or Kernal that will change SeLinux from enforcing to permissive for the Sprint variant of the Galaxy S4 Sph-L720. I don't need a bunch of features, I just need to get back to permissive. I've seen similar for other GS4 variants, the GS5, & even the Note 3, just nothing for Sprint. Has development ceased for the Sprint GS4? Is all hope lost? Any suggestions or forum suggestions?
