[GPS FIX] GPS Fix for all* roms (Captivate)

Any one try this with an Epic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22455870#post22455870

Interesting. I just looked at our phones gps.conf and there is like 3 servers.
---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------
At closer examination and comparison it has the same 3 servers we have, some extrra command codes and it looks like a supplemental server at the end of the script. But I already get 9 out of 11 locks so may not have a stock gps.conf on CM9.

That is something I would like a fix for..I want consistant GPS. It can work great for 2 days but then one day...nothing. Even after a recent boot...you have to reboot again to get it working.

We would have to get in line behind Apple...LOL.
Also I wonder if stock glitches like that. I know the locks are less but does it connect all the time? I have some friends with Epics non-rooted and never hear them complaining about the gps.

Ei22 would get 4 locks max and would lose signal if traveling for a length of time.
El30 for me was very glitchy. My locks would blink on and off like the chip was having a seizure. Maps would constantly "re-route"
Fb15 is back to being just like ei22. Was just outside on a clear night. Had 12 sats in view and would never go above 4 locks max. I assume its the same as ei22 with it losing lock after a period of driving.
With the "gps fix" I get lots of locks and they hold on, however like a part above, some days it just won't work without a reboot which is super annoying when your trying to drive.

Just tried this gps.conf update - still maxed out at 4 locks...gonna have to flash the fascinate file (ei22 gps fix) to fix mine.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Lastly, I can confirm the ei22 fix still works in fb15. After I flashed that I got 8 out of 9 locks immediately.
Edit: attached the GPS fix that works for me. It replaces the epic gpsd file with the one from the fascinate which is more aggressive and locks as many sats as possible. I believe CM7/9 is using this same file so you only need this on TW roms.

I think people on stock who don't root and etc don't complain, because they don't know the full gps potential and they got use to their half-assed locks. Lol

I have stock. it has improved since the last update but I it still drops out frequently, usually when I'm a block or two from my destination and I really need gps. I heard the Note had reliable gps so
that will be my next phone.

4.2.2 GT-N5110 - official update kicked in UK

someone posted on my google+, so thought I share with you guys
"Hey my friends! I'm currently downloading 4.2.2 for my GT-N5110! Finally! Mine is the UK model! So excited"
I know there's already a leaked beta version samsmobile, but seems like Samsung finanly pushing the offical update for GT-N5110, let me know if you are in US and getting the OTA update...

UK 4.2.2 firmware N5110XXCMH3 is showing up on sammobile.com

Will this version work on the US version?

i checked couple of people on my google+ Note 8 community in UK, they said it looks like they fixed S-Pen issue. A few reported that S-Note and Alarm is acting up, but wiping system cache and dalvik seems like doing the trick.

yeah...I am actually planning to install UK version if Samsung delays US version for some stupid reason. I have one more person told me UK version works just fine installing US model wifi tablet...so thank you for confirming for us, more people try, the better we will feel if we go with UK version

Does the multiscreen function work?

Anyone know if its possible to update via kies, or other ways without root and without wiping the data on the device, regaldress the region

Uhh, yea. The UK update flashed through Odin is a no-wipe update. Did it yesterday and zero problems. Actually seems smoother to me.

Did you flash the kernel as well? I thought that was usually included in a ROM but it shows as a separate download.

I can't find the option on mine so I assumed Samsung had removed the option for some reason.
Also seemingly missing is the swipe to camera from the lock screen, which I had wanted.
I wondered about using another ROM instead but guess I would then lose some of the S-Pen ability and dedicated apps?

I flashed this via Mobile Odin, but I lost my 5 Ghz! How can I get it back?

One other thing, when I switched the R6300 to Channel 48 the router gave me a popup about the best wireless performance being with Channels 149, 153, 157 and 161, I am assuming it says that due to the possibility of more congestion, though being rural that's not an issue, and 5 Ghz seems to be fine on Channel 48.

they did not remove it, they just, for some strange reason, not enabled it - don't even ask me why. However, check Civ's custom ROM (based on UK Firmware), look at his post: [ROM][4.2.2][N5110-MH3][N5100-MH2] CivZ-FLEX-BEAM-REV3.0 + SphereEngine [18/sep/2013]
he did enabled it...
unless multi-users option is critical to you, I would recommend to flash Civ's ROM.

It says MD5 check failed, that there is no MD5 file to check? Downloading again to see if that resolves it
---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------
which version of TWRP are you guys using? I'm using 2.6.3.2 and it says no MD5 file found. Any ideas? Is that the right version of TWRP?

The bulk of that time I was on lte in a low reception building. Only issue I have with that build is I get redraws. Screen freezes sometimes and the screen shortly from top to bottom will disappear. Will come back in like 30 seconds. I've sort of narrowed it down to keyboard, but not always.

i had issues with twrp, ended up using cwm instead and it installed fine for me. WiFi was a bit of a issue, I disabled the wifi optimization option then it connected fine, then re-enabled the wifi optimization.

What the crap 5.1 in Verizon N6?

http://phandroid.com/2015/02/26/exclusive-verizon-nexus-6-march-12-android-5-1-volte-support/

Does voLTE require a hardware upgrade or is this potentially a feature that all n6s can enjoy?

My house phone is better than your iPhone.

T-mobile is actually testing VoLTE on N6. I think it will be in the OS. Time will tell.

Band 12 volte and WiFi calling I hope but I'm more interested in performance and battery improvements

While that may or may not be accurate they at least have some good news. I won a Nexus 9 from them during the 20 days of giveaways in December so they aren't all bad.
As far as 5.1 goes if its out on VZW then it will be out on all Nexus 6's as far as I'm concerned. Whether or not google posts the ROM devs can likely extract the files and incorporate them into a ROM. Let's see what happens because I would like to use B12 and WiFi calling on T-Mobile. I know T-Mobile has to enable some things in their end for it to work but at least we would have the software here ready and waiting.

With all the issues the N6 has on Sprint I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon wants that fixed before releasing on their network. Maybe the texting and call issues are CDMA related rather than Sprint specific?

I've had my N6 on Verizon for months, and everything works perfectly.

Same, with the exception of the network extender. On the extender, no 3G data and the signal indicator goes wonky. It also tries very hard to connect to an outside tower rather than the extender...

Hope they fix the data icon and connections taking long to actually connect

Some discussion at the thread above.
Edit: hit return too quick.
I don't recall seeing anything official from Verizon or Google that it will be 5.1. I think that's what everyone is guessing based on the features posted by Verizon for the phone, T-Mobile comments and that 5.1 has been spotted somewhere in the world on some handsets. I'm looking forward to it as I have a lot of problems with WiFi and Bluetooth which I hope this will clear up. Also, if rumors are true and we get wifi calling, band 12 (t-mobile customer) and VoLTE, all the better.

Signal issues

For whatever reason I have signal problems when running ViperOne. Everything is fine except for that. After some testing it seems it kills my upload after a little while, and I have to toggle Airplane mode to restore connection (download seems to be unaffected). When on stock or bad boyz signal is rock solid. I guess my question is if I flash Viper and then flash the stock radio would that fix it? I'm guessing it has something to do with Viper being based on the international ROM but I have no idea. It's been an issue on every single version.

I've had a similar issue where if I'm on LTE Band 41, I lose up and down data. If it falls back on Bands 25 and 26, it's fine. If I'm on stock or the Bad Boyz ROM, then I don't encounter the issue. However, if I flash Viper10 or LeeDrOiD, I lose access to Band 41. Unfortunately, I haven't chased the issue since I've had little time to research and pick the ROM makers' brains. For now, I'm using the Bad Boyz ROM since Band 41 works...

No, I tried once more and gave up. Not sure what you mean about Bad Boyz, it's been available since the beginning and is based on the Sprint base. I've been using it since and it's been nothing but rock solid. It's available in the Roms section of the forum...

Yes, since switching to BB I have zero data issues. I'm in both city and suburban areas daily, with varying signal strength. He just updated the rom to 2.6 and I've been running it with no problems for about 3 days after doing a fresh install from an RUU

Viper has more features overall, but BB has the essentials like hotspot, flashlight shortcut, etc. Only thing I really miss is long press home to turn off screen. Give it a shot.
