I'm not using a case, i just buy it 2 days ago
Same problem just in other areas
Got the same problem. Software issue?
Sorry to hear this. Just tested on my phone using screen write. 100% of the screen works, currently no case if that matters at all.
So, should we use the warranty?

I had the same problem.
In my case it was the case (haha) which contained magnets which interfered with the spen.
Magnets!
Thanks!!! That solved the problem, its the case and magnets.

If this is happening to you on a naked phone, absolutely. Do not settle - if anything see if your carrier can help you out since it was a lemon.

I am having a very hard time removing the rear cover. I've removed the two screws but I still can't seem to get any of my plastic case opening tool in. What gives? I'm almost questioning the importance of those two screws...

Is there a sticker on the rear camera of the S4? I noticed a clear sticker like thing on the camera that is catching lint and dust. Can we remove this or is it permanent? Thanks.

I will ask my friend to do the same and then check with his phone.
I don´t understand what´s wrong, it worked on his phone earlier so i don´t think is rom related.

Try it in the stock rom and see if it works?
Or maybe you have a bad magnet sensor.

Try if any magnet pops up the sview screen?
Plus sensors under *#0*# might help too.

Yeah..the sview cover has a magnet in it that makes the screen appear.
So if you have any magnet around..try it by hand..and see if it pops?
Rest even Im not sure whats blocking the sensors..might be the hardware

I'm posting this as a guide to repairing your GPS at the hardware level after a teardown. So you decided to replace your broken screen, or put on some fancy back cover on your M8. Or even sent in your phone for repair just get it back with no GPS lock. You notice your phone sees satellites but can't get a fix/lock because the signal is to low. Simple fix. I've attached some images to help explain the process.
First you need to remove the back cover. Just the back cover. (This is a nice tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDsZLl_JzwA )
Second. Locate ITEM #1 at the top of the phone shown in the attached pictures. This is a copper metal tab that bends easily. My guess, this get bent during teardown.
Third. Locate ITEM #2 on the back cover shown in the attached pictures. This is a contact point for ITEM #1.
Fourth. Bend ITEM #1 so it contacts ITEM #2 when you reassemble the back cover. That's it.
Fifth. Download GPS Statues from the market and test your GPS.
Sixth. Hit the thanks button and enjoy a beer.
thank you
very nice idea and saved my day/week/month.... i tried everything regarding software, firmware and rom but nothing would help.
at the same time when i flashed to another rom i tried to fix my speaker and i had to remove the speaker cover.... i never thought of a hardware problem but my GPS is functioning well again now.

I couldn't find this copper tab (maybe the reason why mine isn't working), but I also couldn't see it in the video you linked to?

Yeah. Hard to see it in the video. That's just for teardown. Best is to check the pics. That tab should be at the top of the phone next to the power button. Unless yours is missing altogether. It is pretty flimsy.

Ouch! Not sure. I think it's soldiered to the board. You may want to use a generic piece of metal and just sandwich it place. It just has to touch the case.

Does anyone have a better picture of the tab? I think mine is broken off, but I can't tell from the blurry pictures. I tried stuffing aluminum foil in the gap, but I'm not sure if I'm touching the correct points. The phone is now locking a few satellites, but only barely enough - and it is super slow. This is better than without the foil, but not a ton better.
Thanks so much for sharing the info!
This fixed my no GPS locks after a back/case change.
I did break the metal clip slightly, so be very gentle, but kitchen foil did the trick.
ut.
So here's a little video of me checking the time while sitting on the couch. Very frustrating. Any tips or fixes available to make it better?

Did a clean install when 5.1.1 came out... just upgraded to most recent fw but it's been like this since I upgraded to lollipop.
My Z3C never had this issue. DT2W works flawlessly but it's disabled on my phone because it was waking up too often while in my pocket
The thing is DT2W worked flawlessly on the first kitkat FW when this phone came out... After the upgrades you'll hv to move it like pick it up then it'll work properly. If you leave it on a flat surface for awhile and tap it without moving it then it'll be like in the OP's video.

It's the same for me. Worked very good on 4.4, now only with movement before on 5.0, 5.1. I think they tried to make it less sensitive to waking the screen in the pocket or something. Though not the best solution.

If it wakes up in your pocket, then make the screen face outwards when you put it in your pocket problem solved :'D That's what i do anyway.

I'd rather not, I scratched my previous phone's screen really bad when doing this. I got out of my way for someone and ground with my hip against a stone wall.

GravityBox has this "Proximity wake-up" feature.
The phone will never wake-up when the proximity sensor is covered (even when you use the power button instead of double-tap)
Sometimes the double tap doesn't respond well at all.

I didn't notice any battery drain using that feature.
It seems the sensor is not used all the time. Maybe it is used only when there's an attempt to wake up the phone.

I already got one, along with CaseMate Barely There. don't wanna repeat that Mini Pro mistake.
lol so you have a case and a tempered glass screen protector and you are adjusting the way you put your phone in your pocket in order to avoid the possibility of grinding your hip into a wall whilst avoiding someone. wow. you are one cautious individual.
Just get gravity box. Once you have that tap to wake is perfect.

yes I am cautious, this phone was quite expensive and I'm going to use it for as long as possible. and yes, I've already enabled the proximity wake in GB.
