Gps always on - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since a week ago my gps never swithes off!
When i reboot my phone it's off but whenever an app starts the GPS it becames always on even if i close the app that started it.
To stop the gps (and it's huge battery drain) I need to restart the phone or switch it off (from the menu bar).
This is really annoying!
Anyone experiencing the same issue?
Any suggestion?

during these days i did many experiments and the responsible seems to be wanam exposed!

Now we must ask why Wanam is doing this. Then we must fix!
I didn't want to start another thread....... But I want Wanam, and I want the GPS to be bug free................

This is the first time I've tried aokp and I have to say firstly thank you for trying to port it for the s3 mini gang
I like the options, it's very customizable!
Unfortunately I have to make a few pointers about stuff that annoys me
- the graphic tearing/glitching is really bad..
- where's the file manager??
- no performance settings..
- some aokp rom settings are glitchy.. Such as navbar wouldn't disable after I enabled it. Center click was invisible. Meh.
- quick settings button in status bar does nothing, neither does pulling down the right side of the status bar (basically no quick settings tiles)
- I suck at posts like this. Meh.
Ok ok I'm sorry for complaining. I'm very happy with the progress of Cm10.1 which is what I'm using now. Thank you for all your hard work.
May the force be with you. :what::beer:

Work everything works fine only self problem how in cm10 and cm10.1 the cpu was everytime on 1000MHz cant push it down with Cpu Tuner or with another app was really nice when somebody can help me because i like the battery life and when my s3 mini work everytime on 1000MHz the battery go faster down :/
Hey you can bring cpu to normal by turning off gps, wifi and data then rebooting. Turn it all back on after.
Do you get graphic glitching in menus? Thanks.

press on that wait a while then its finish reboot nothing happens i need help i want stay on this rom!!!
Smooth and stable ROM, still has the 1000mhz bug when rebooting with wifi ON and gps OFF. Just need to have gps activated all the time. Camera flash options still inverted.
Lots of customizations available. Confirmed that bluetooth doesn't work well. Tried to transfer an image file via bluetooth- even when paired, always fails.
(Temp fix) I copied the files from CM 10.1 (/system/etc/bluetooth) to that of AOKP, after setting permissions and reboot, was able to have successful bluetooth transfer.
Over all great ROM.

For me, underclock doesn't work with Antutu cpu Master (i'm trying to fix the 1000 mhz bug and thus the battery drain). I have rebooted twice and doesn't seems to work. Any solution?
Thank you!

[SOLVED] GPS Doesnt work, 0 satellites in view

Hey, hoping you guys can help me with a problem. I got a LS980 G2 a few months ago and promptly rooted and put PA on it (2/27 build at the time). I'm now on the 3/12 build, and I've noticed that my GPS doesn't work. I'm looking at GPS Test and I'm not getting any satellites in view.
From other posts, it appears that GPS works in PA 4 for other sprint g2s, but mine doesn't work. Does anyone know what might be wrong with it? Thanks!

Unfortunately, in my excitement of getting a new phone I never tested all the features before slapping TWRP and PA on it
ok ... so the first thing I suggest you download the app from the store that play is called "GPS test", put in an outdoor location and see if it works. If it does not work well you probably have the same problem I've had time ago, and many of whom suffer from G2, or that the GPS antenna is not well contact with the cover, and then the GPS reception is really bad. To fix this you must open the back cover and lift the contact, and ensure that they make contact with the cover.

I do have GPS test. When you were experiencing the issue, did you have 0 satellites in view also or just a really bad signal or no GPS lock?
2-3 satellites with bad quality signal

Cracking it open is definitely an option, although I'm afraid there is something else going on since I get 0 sats. I think i would at least get a few in view with bad quality.
GPS FIXED
Update on this issue for anyone that searches and finds this thread....
I fixed my GPS. The solution was to restore to stock, and reflash my rom. The interesting thing about this, is it appears that ANYTIME you do a revert to stock (at least using a .tot) you have to get a GPS lock or it will break GPS. I flashed the .tot, got GPS lock, rooted, recovery, and flashed Mahdi and GPS worked. I was having some unrelated issues with Mahdi, so I went back to stock again, did NOT lock GPS, rooted, recovery, and flashed PA. This time GPS did not work again. I repeated this process a third time getting a GPS lock and it works now.
So for anyone having the issue with 0 satellites in view (GPS Test from the play store will tell you), here is the fix for the LS980. Other phones can probably follow a similar process-
1. Flash the ZVC .tot to go back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702422
---LS980 ONLY! Other phones have different files to flash
---This will WIPE your SD card, back up files first!
2. Get a GPS lock (GPS Test is handy for this)
3. IORoot to regain root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869
4. AutoRec to get TWRP again http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
5. Flash your ROM and you should be golden
I want to do the same, I've a D802, where can I take the file to flash the stock rom?

Android Nougat 7.0 BUGS

The idea of the thread is to list oficial stock android nougat bugs after a clean update (Factory reset) and see if other are having the same problems:
For my on retail Europe:
-GPS not working ok. It sees the satellites but not fix position. Sometimes i managed to fix the position but next time i try to use the gps it wont fix again. (See atachments)
-Turbocharger weird behaveors, some time it stop turbocharging and start slow charge when the cellphone is left charging, all apps close, normal temperature 32C.
-System tunner bug (Minor): if you set it to always show battery porcentaje on the bar next time you enter the system UI it get to only show when charging set up. You have to put it again in always show.
-Battery dropdown and missreading after restarting the phone.
-Heavy downgrade in stereo spesker quality. They sound like crap now.
-Missreading of cores in use by monitoring aps like CPU-Z, etc.
-Abnormaly battery drain in low signal or heavy usage.
Absolutely not a single problem with N RETEU version. Everything works as it should. Even some bugs were fixed from the MM like Bluetooth. GPS okay, turbo charging okay, ...
Same here, no bugs at all in EU version
What apps are you using to test gps? I use GPS TEST (PLUS Version)
Any problems for me too.
Maybe your GPS problems are cos you have flashed a EU Rom while you are in latin America...

sometimes flashlight does not turn on when I shake the phone..
I only have one problem with camera. Macro focus is SUPER SLOW and sometimes it just doesn't focus at all. This happens only on stock camera / moto camera apk from other thread. When I use opencamera everything is okay, so I think its related to camera apk
edit: okay its bad in every app that is using stock camera (facebook messenger etc)

I bougth my phone in Europe and installed ota via stock recovery, it is the OTA for my phone! I think GPS should work worldwide and before the update it worked like a charm
Thanks!
I have the same issues. Strangely apps report that GPS can't fix but it's showing correct position. My turbo charger also doesn't work as it was working before. Reteu N ROM flashed on eu non rooted phone without wiping data.
I'd almost be surprised if there aren't significant bugs in the update.
We are, after all, dealing with obscenely incompetent "devs" who first pushed out a soak test that bricked devices upon a ****ing factory reset. "Devs" who had absolutely no involvement in developing the device or its original firmware.
I have little doubt that most of the better community ROM devs would've done a better job, and delivered the update faster, doing it purely for fun in their spare time.
**** Lenovo.

Have you try a wipe cache partition ?
If not : Boot into recovery mode like for OTA update and chose Wipe cache partition ( no data lose )
Can someone with Nougat Europe version who posted that the GPS is working ok download GPS TEST app and see if it is fixing position. Google map worked for me but Nlife doesn't work good, it can't track the position. Maybe the problem is not with all the apps.
Guys if the rom did not come via Lenovo then moaning about it is waste of time.

It is the same OTA uploaded here that everyone is using, final build, clean install. Maybe it is a problem with de GPS Plus and the Ndrive App, since other navigation apps seen to work fine, but maybe they don't need to fix position to track the navigation, i can't tell if these apps can fix the position. It is weird, some times it fix position fast and sometimes it take like 20 minutes. The apps works perfect in other devices. It will be nice that someone with GPS TEST app can check if it is happening the same to them. One user allready says he is having problem to fix position too.

Did you used AndroiTS GPS Test app?
Did you reset and update a-gps data with this app?
Did you set correct region with FasterGPS app?

Strange behaviour when in stand by

Since a few days I started having an annoying issue: when the phone is in stand by (no root, official rom) I hear a cinese phrase (of course not incomprehensible, since I'm italian and don't know cinese). No icons, no other indications in notifications menu.
Does anyboy have same problem? WTH could be?
This could be one of the options under Smart assistance - Accessibility, look through it.

I tried, but the "ghost chinese phrase" is still there. Tried a reset, but it didn't solve the problem. Huawei support suggested a hard reset... I'll try.

That's genuinely creepy. If i heard that I would just burn my phone on the spot (after taking a backup ).
