Hey everybody,
I've been having an issue lately. Since I upgraded to Android Lollipop, I have not been able to get a GPS lock anymore. This issue only applies when I'm on a Lollipop ROM. As soon as I flash back to a kitkat TW ROM, everything works again. When I go back to a Lollipop ROM, the issue returns again.. No GPS lock. This is not ROM specific, but just related to Lollipop in my experience.
I have not seen anyone else yet with this issue, so I find this very strange. I'm currently on the latest version of GPE5 by @Danvdh if this helps. But like I mentioned before, the issue exists on every Lollipop ROM.
If someone could please help me, this would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
Anyone? ?
Me Gusta!
It seems to be a Lollipop thing.
I have the same issue with my Find 7 since installing Lollipop.

HI guys ( devs, users surfers alike),
I have an S4 i337 AT&T, with locked MK2 bootloader, been on Android 4.3 since i bought this phone online, and everything was working perfectly.
I had it SIM unlocked, rooted, SafeStrap-ed, custom ROMs running perfect on t...NO ISSUES!
Ever since I upgraded to Android 4.4.2 with Deadly Venom's Magic KitKat Tool,(installed the 4.4.2 Cutsom ROM, flashed the mldmodules.zip, flashed the superuser 2.00 zip, ODIN'd the AP, BL, CP tar files right away ...everything on any 4.4.2 ROM works perfect, except 1 major THING: ==> NO GPS fix, ever! ON any of the 4.4.2 ROMs...and I tried like 8 so far....
ANybody knows how to fix this issue? I mean, I travel a lot, I need to be able to use Google Maps, Sygic, CoPilot, OSMand+, and none of them get a GPS fix!!!!
I will attach pics one is with HyperDrive RLS15 ROM (Android 4.3) showing full GPS signals, the other is with SHOstock -i v7.0 ROM, no GPS signals at all...
There will be a screenshot of the "About Device" as well ... notice I am on the MLD baseband, since I have the MK2 locked bootloader...
What should I do, folks? Flash a different modem, module? WHICH exactly, is there any fix for the GPS signal on the 4.4.2 ROMs, because without it, being on 4.4.2 is useless... rather go back to Android 4.3 ...
Im sure lots of you guys on the i337 AT&T, rooted, SS'd, with the locked MK2 bootloader have figured out a solution to get a good GPS fix (signal) on the 4.4.2 ROMs ... somebody please send me a flashable zip solution, for us who have this issue.
BTW, I live in the heart of Budapest, Hungary, and not on some remote island, so I MUST HAVE tons of GPS signals coming in and floating around me, that "Location" is NOT the issue here ...as you could very well see from the screenshot where I do get lots of GPS signals when I am on Android 4.3....
THX in advance for any of you folks out there, who can provide us with a viable solution for this tiny, but MAJOR GPS issue on the 4.4.2 ROMs.
I await your kind replies.

I've had the same problem since I first upgraded to KitKat a few months back. I've tried every solution known to no avail. It's frustrating since turn by turn nav has always been a feature I've used a lot.
If anyone has any new ideas please let us know..

So you have the same issue... Turn-by turn NAV is awesome...only if we would get a fix on GPS on our Galaxy S4 i337 ...
FOr how long did you have 4.4.2 on ur phone?
I upgraded to 4.4.2 about 6 months ago. First installed 4.4.3 about 2 months ago and have been running 4.4.4 for a week now. I've installed just about every ROM available for the S4 and did all those fixes and installed GPS apps

There are a few ROMs that have been updated to 4.4.4
Up until today I was running which just released an update to that version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2767026
Anyone else have any ideas for this GPS issue??
My GPS never locks on any Rom since 4.3 except for Hyperdrive 4.3/4.4.2.
What is so special in Hyperdrive? I copied Hyperdrive's GPS.conf and it didn't help.
Maybe Hyperdrives dev can tell us which GPS files he has in his ROM to put in our roms?

THX for the links, I will stay on the best ROM there is: SHOstock's SHOstock-i v7.0 i337 XXUGNF1 4.4.2 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468860)
It needed a couple reboots, and GPS works flawlesly ...so turn-by-turn navigation works, be that Google Maps, Sygic, OSMand, etc. ...
FOr those of you that it doesn't work, try flashing an earlier modem ( MK2, or MDL) from RockRatts forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496517)
If this helped you, hit THANKS, folks...not a big deal, ya know? Much appreciated
I'll attach some pix as proof that there is a very good GPS fix/signal
For those having gps problems give this app a try

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That's problem iv been having for a while to I flashed roms, kernels, module's, Odin back to stock and apps for gps nothing works. The only thing that's working for me is rls 18 rom.

this worked for me thanks
Hello Guys,
I'm with a problem in my #nexus4 .. If i update my device to #android 4.3 or newer my phone gets #bootloop and don't start anymore. I read a lot of tips to solve that but nothing worked. I tried to reflash with stock firmware from google (developers images to nexus devices) but didnt work (flash-all.bat), i tried use #NexusRootToolkit but happened the same situation. I tried to install the versions 4.3, 4.4, 4.4.2, 4.4.4, 5.0 and happened the same problem at all.
Someone could help me? Because i didnt find how to solve since a last year. I'm using android 4.2.2 because its the only one that works.
I tried all methods like flash stock rom, but, wont works. ....
Could someone help me with that please??
I have the same problem, can someone help ?
Any updates?
I have the same problem. I used to get the bootloop when I updated from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 and from 4.4.4 to 5.0 and from 5.0 to 5.01 and in all those times, from what I can recall, a wiping of the cache/delvik + fix-permissions + install the modified boot image from NRT - solved the problem.
However - a couple of days ago, after getting the Google Cardboard and playing around with it, installing all the VR stuff and playing with magnets around my phone to get it to work with the VR - I think I must've damaged something because it suddenly died and refused to get back up and out of a bootloop. I tried the above procedures and it didn't work. I went back to version 5.0, then 4.4.4 and further back till only 4.2.2 worked, as with the first post here. It's the only version that doesn't give me the bootloop. If I try then to upgrade I again get the bootloop, whether it's a full flashing or an OTA update (to 4.3).
One thing I noticed with 4.2.2 - it's not acting all that well: when I download apps through Google Play some of them seem to get stuck at 85-95% on the download and won't install. Maybe I have a faulty storage issue...?
Any insight on how to fix that?? Any news from those who experienced the same issue?
Thanks!

I think it's a defective device. You have to repair or change it. Sorry
No Sensors
Looks like none of my sensors are working, judging from 3 sensor testing apps I've downloaded. Seems as if the motherboard is defective.

Hello to erveryone,
since my last firmware update (over kies) i´ve got sincere camera issues on my G 900 I running Android 4.4.2.
As you can see it does have problems with colors and ghosting as well as it heavyly laggs.
When in turn HDR on/ off or change mode it seems to work normally again for some seconds and then crashes bag.
What i tried yet:
Upgrade to Android 5.0:
Camera works but Device does not store Wireless Passwords, so this cant be the solution yet
Try other Camera Apps, whipe cache, stop app
No difference at all.
Factory reset
No difference
Does anyone of you have any ideas or the same problem?

Try flashing the latest stock ROM for your model S5 from sammobile & use ODIN to flash it, then factory reset the new ROM

I tried that. But then my Wifi does not store any passwords.
Is it possible that all these problems are caused by wrong modem?
This is a SM G900I and im using a modem for a G900F (ANG2, KERNEL_G900FXXU1ANG2).
Unfortunately I dont know where to get the latest modem for the G900I.
As well my LTE is not working here in Germany.
If you get a stock ROM from sammobile dot com for your exact model S5, you should get the correct modem and everything designed for that S5

Okay, I did that. Within this step I upgraded to Android 5.0. My device did not store a single Wifi password, but the camera worked fine. Flashing back to stock 4.4.2 Wifi works fine, but the camera is broken!
Any Idea?
Sounds like Samsung need to fix some bugs
Maybe try a custom ROM, that way if you encounter any problems, you have direct contact with the dev to try and get it fixed
Hey guys,
I upgraded to 6.0.1 stock rom with ODIN. Not the hardware buttons are not responding. I already tried factory reset and wipe cache. No success.
Also downgrading to 5.1.1 doesn't change anything. Buttons not working in latest 5.1.1 ... strange.
Can someone give me an advice?
Thanks!

Hi.. can you tell us, which ROM you used (which region-code) and of which region was your phone before?
maybe this is not the problem, but the more informations you provide, the better.
Yeah. Sure.
I don't know which firmware version I got originally installed on the phone. But first I flashed A310FXXU2BPG6_A310FOJV2BPG2_XSG (6.0.1). There hardware button don't work. So I thought ok, then I flash the latest from my country (DBT).
So I wiped everything and flashed: A310FXXU2APDC_A310FOXA2APD1_DBT.
But still no change. The ROM itself is working fine, except the hardware buttons. I wonder if it is some kernel related problem? But there should be no problem since it is all stock. I even flashed the earliest DBT firmware from samfirmware (A310FXXU1AOL7_A310FOXA1AOL7_DBT) also without success. The hardware buttons stay inactive. Really strange.
Hello All,
I have a small problem. if anyone can help me out please help.
Recently I cracked my screen and hence went to a local shop to get it replaced. Once replaced my phone was not booting. I thought it maybe a software issue. Later I realized this happens due to hardware and maybe some connection is not made, like the headphone jack.
I opened my nexus and checked. Turns out that guy dropped my light sensor which is close to the front camera. There is no light sensor now in the phone. I cannot go back to him.
Can anyone please suggest me some ROM which skips this hardware test? or any other solution please?
From what i remember, proximity sensor causes such issue on Nexus 4. The solution was to downgrade modem to the very first one (from 4.2.2 factory image) and then flash either 4.2.2 or 4.3 stock firmware. Switching modem to a newer one causes bootloop on 4.3 and up. Try this, then it's possible that some more current custom ROM will work with an old modem as well, but that's something you'll have to check on your own.
THANK YOU!
Sir,
Thanks A LOT!
I cannot thank you enough. I have search everywhere, and your solution worked. I installed 4..2.2 radio then pre rooted factory image. Worked like charm
I am really grateful. Thank you.
