Hello to you all !
I have an issue I ran into a day ago while using google maps. I wanted to go to a specific unknown for me location so I logically used gps to triangulate my position and point me in the right direction, but unfortunately, I ran into the problem of the compass readings. I think it is off by 180 degrees, meaning it shows me to go forward while it should say go backwards. Is there a way to fix it because I know that we don't have the luxury of the special menu thru the dialer. Running stock android with package disabler pro.

Just needs a simple calibration. I have the edge so I can just simply pull up my compass and calibrate it on the spot with the edge features. Try downloading GPS Status from the app store. It will allow you to calibrate your compass again.
I have the same problem. I have used the same app but the fix doesn't last long. The next day it's messed up again. I was on a trail the other day and it told me I was facing west when i was facing east. God forbid if I was really lost. Every Galaxy phone I've had had this problem. The GS4G GS3 and now the GS7. I guess Samsung will never get it fixed.

No issues with my S7 Exynos compass, sometimes a few degrees out which calibrating by moving the phone in a figure of 8 always fixes
Best way I can represent the angles of the figure of 8

I tried that in the middle of the street in the dark on a cat walk one night. then the other way spinning in circles using GPS Status to calibrate it. If anyone saw me they'd be wondering what the heck i was doing. but it never lasts long. by the next day each time it's already out of whack. funny i never had problems with the HTC MyTouch 4G and the HTC One M7.
My compass is messed up too... I tried calibrating using GPS Status app, and still is messed up. Basically, North and south are flip flopped. It's odd. Can't for the life of me figure out how to fix it.
Running Echoe Rom 1.41
I was on a trip and spent several hours trying to fix this off an on, while not trying to look like an idiot waving my phone around constantly like a wand to try to get it to calibrate. GPS Status App seems to fix it for a while and sometimes it works while standing still. But nothing is a permanent fix it seems like.
Cool,at least I ain't the only one so one can pray for a fix some day. I can't even fix it at all,not even for a while ...

Not to burst your bubble but i was hoping it would be fixed since the old Samsung S4G from like was it 2012. I don't know why a top competitor to Apple can't make a usable compass. My HTC phones and the iPhone 6+ i had, had a good compass. The main reason i even went to the iPhone was out of frustration of decent Android hardware choices. looks like the choices are still bleak. then you throw in the Note 7 fiasco it doesn't look good for android hardware choices for this year either.
Ooh,so I guess I will have to get used to it .. Btw,a little offtopic but has someone experienced a weird buzzing noise from the earphone (the speaker above the screen used for voice calls) when calling on messenger?

Download GPS status. Reset and re-download in manages Agps state. Then calibrate it again. Mine has been 180° off until I did that.
I tried what you suggested with GPS assist but it did not work. I also tried to flash the back to stock files using Odin but that failed. I guess you can't flash those files if your not rooted. I then used Verizon recovery software but that did not work either. I guess my compass is just broken. I will try calling Verizon to see if I can get a new phone....
If anyone has any other ideas please let me know.

Has anyone got the GPS to work on a verizon vogue? I am running OMJs oem verizon rom with gps and rev a enabled. (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=25335) i have turned location on and still can not got a pretty blue dot in google maps. i have searched all over multiple forums and found nothing. for many people with sprint they run ppst.exe and all is well but i have read this can brick the phone for verizon users. so does anyone know how to get it to work?
You could try GPSToday and activate the GPS with that. That's what I use, works great!
GPS on Verizon Vogue
I use the gps with the same rom you are using and it works great. I generall use Livesearch for my gps app, and before I launch it I will always open GPSViewer and let it sit on my dash of my car for 5 minutes tops before I get on the road. Once GPSViewer locks onto a few sats, I am good to go.
Exact ROM I'm using and it works great!! I was suprised how well LiveSearch was with directions, it would automatically re-route if you went off course, it was sweet!!!
Anyhow, it took me about 3 days to finally get a lock on to the sats. Main reason was I tried from indoors, but I was near the window on a clear sky. Then sure enough, I walked outside, stood in my office parking lot and picked up 6 sats!!
If you haven't already try outside, and be patient!! I believe once you get the initial feed from the sats, you'll be good from then on out. There was a reg change that may help.
HKLM>Software>HTC>SUPL AGPS>GPS Mode
Try changing from 2 to either 1 or 4, some had better luck that way.
actually i figured it out a few days ago and will post what i found for others you need to change the messaging settings....

+1 on this fix! It used to take at least 5 minutes outside on a clear day to get a signal, at first, then about a min after that. With this fix, I got a lock in about 7 seconds inside my office! Not to mention, that sitting in my house, downtown, picks up in about 15 seconds! It worked so well, my GPS picked up that I moved from my dining room to my kitchen, all of 10 feet!

Until Verizon releases a GPS enable ROM update you cannot enable GPS on your stock Verizon Touch. But you can enable GPS by upgrading with a Sprint, Altell, or Bell ROM. Here is a tutorial that's a little dated but it's a good place to start.
Basically you have to upgrade the radio with a Sprint, Altell, or Bell ROM to get GPS. Then you have to flash a ROM that will work on your Verizon Touch. There are a bunch of them available. Of course, once you start there is no going back because there is no stock Verizon ROM available.
TY for your response and i have read the tutorial but again struck fear in my peanut sized brain. I called Verizon support and did get one of the rep's to admit that they are working on a new "GPS enabled Official ROM" and are expecting it to be released before the end of the year. Think I will wait till its out.

When a company like VZW gives you a release date, don't believe it! They were due to release the Blackberry Storm, the first touch screen blackberry, and for reasons I forget, decided to hold it for an extra three months!
I figured this much before I first flashed, there are tons of users changing their ROM, I've changed mine probably 15 times in the past two months. Not to mention, once you use the AGPS hack, you'll pickup a sat lock in seconds, even while inside. I couldn't wait any longer, VZW is far too slow and behind other carriers.
gps
I doubt vzw will give us our gps on our stock rom. they want to sell their gps subscription. they will only provide it on a future phone when everyone has it as a stock function. ie the massess
gps is not that important for me so i am sticking with stock rom for now. their are rom(s) with instructions for releasing your gps but you will have to unlock your phone. it sounds easy but from what i read you have to take care to follow instructions. read here and on ppcgeeks search for vx6900 gps and you will get what you need.

Me too. And I fix computers for a living! The available tutorials had me terrified that I was going to have to buy a new Touch at full price OR get arrested by the Verizon secret police.
The prudent thing to do is to wait for Verizon to release any ROM update even without GPS. Then you have a safe fallback if you wreck your phone with custom upgrades.
Personally though I couldn't wait, and I'm glad I didn't wait because now I'm really enjoying the full use of my Touch as it was designed... fast Internet, GPS maps, and better call quality.
Despite the terror-inspiring tutorials the only really dicey part of the process is upgrading the radio to another carrier (Sprint, Alltel, or Bell). Unlocking the phone (which is only done once) and flashing custom ROMS (which you'll probably do lots of times) is child's play. Focus on the process of upgrading the radio until you're comfortable with it and you'll be fine.
Ok so where do i start, unlock, flash, or upgrade radio...still not sure about this, i can't afford to be without a phone with my work. would still prefer someone in my area to show me in person and still willing to pay...

Try my rom. I have VZW and GPS works. I just released v3 and GPS works really fast without the AGPS fix . Im not sure if its the new build or what. Here's a link to my thread. CRiSTAL ROM v3
No GPS
I'm not sure what I have done wrong ... I have the 3.42 radio and installed the OMJ Rom (even tried the one from Crystal) but still no GPS. I had previously flashed the unofficial VZW ROM and with the GPS adapter found on another post the GPS worked beautifully.
I've tried standing outside to see if that is the problem but am still lost.
Any ideas?
Also ... I tried the aGPS VZW Fix but still nothing

It's in Spanish but basically that's the problem. It started an hour before I'd land in my home country Argentina. I traveled from San Francisco, CA to Houston, TX. No problems. I traveled from Houston, TX to Buenos Aires, ARG and no problems until an hour before landing. To clarify, yes, I was already in Argentinian airspace and we were starting initial descent.
For some reason, this pop-up shows EVERY TIME I turn on my cellphone. I've used it millions of times (the GPS). I've even turned it on while in-flight and caused no trouble.
It's a almost new cellphone! I bought it Brand New and received it in Feb 14th. No harms, no signs of wear nor problems with the software... It's starting to bug me because even when I have my location turned off, it still shows the pop-up and my screen won't turn off until I hit the sleep button or press the "Accept" button!
I had this with Cloudy G3 2.2. Flashed CM 12 instead and no more issues. I tried multiple things to get it to stop and nothing worked.

Cleaning app cache or data will only work for the next boot. And once that this error occurs right after the boot, the screen remains on until you unlock the phone and dismiss the error message. So, it's upsetting because LG OEM keyboard sucks and google keyboard is the best for me. (Tried others too. Nopes...).

Pm'd you the link from root junky with the ota. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post it here so I'll just keep the mess in pm.

I updated with the rootjunky soak after checking its md5. Had the phone plugged in for the duration and let it update as I was going to bed. Woke up to a fully functional Lollipop, and haven't had any of the issues others are mentioning. Never rooted.
I didn't remember they stopped letting you change mobile data on/off automatically. I have horrible reception at work and like to turn off mobile data to save battery, and now I'll have to remember to manually change it. Luckily it's only four steps -_- (two-finger swipe down to get to quick settings, click on the cell icon, click the toggle on the top right, accept the confirmation dialog box). Three steps to turn it on - there's no confirmation.
Similar issue with location services: if you turn it off/on through the quick settings, it automatically changes it to High Accuracy instead of the previous setting (like Battery Saving). Luckily, Google changed the way locations are handled last year and this shouldn't be as big of an impact on battery as it had been previously.
The volume modes are going to be a headache to explain to my parents who also have Turbos. Glad I updated before they do...

We have to wait for Verizon or Moto release the full firmware and then you can patch it, I'm waiting for that too, for the firmware list
I absolutely love the new 5.1 Lolipop. Seems much smoother, faster, better overall appearance. Can't wait to really dig into this and see how the battery life is compared to stock 4.4.4
Overall: huge fan and love it!!
I've been very happy with 5.1 on the Turbo. Honestly, the Turbo seems to run 5.1 much better than my Nexus 9. I haven't had any major problems. I did, however, run into one odd issue that might just be a coincidence. I noticed after updating that I wasn't able to connect to my Verizon Network Extender, even though I still had Advanced Calling disabled (if Advanced Calling is on, and you have an LTE connection, you'll use that over a Network Extender). The Network Extender worked fine with other VZW devices. This went on for about a day, and then it magically started working again.
Forgive me if I over looked it, but I noticed now when I turn my phone volume down to silence it it just goes on vibrate rather than just silent with no vibrate. Did that feature disappear? I hate to be picky but I like to have it on silent while at work and I can't stand having it on vibrate.

Did an OTA update a few hours ago. Didn't bother with a factory reset and so far no issues that I am aware of. Silky smooth.

I took the OTA, did a factory reset, and set it up as a new phone; not restoring any backups. It's installing lots of app updates right now, so I haven't done much with it, but I haven't noticed any new bugs. Unfortunately, Lollipop hasn't fixed the wi-fi bug where my phone continually disconnects and reconnects to my wi-fi. It may just be a problem with certain routers (mine is a Belkin N750 DB), but I've got the latest available firmware on my router, too, and everything else works fine with it. I think it's time to see if I can get a warranty replacement.

I had that router for 7 or 8 years. towards the 6 year mark - it started dropping all my devices randomly so I bought a Cisco AC router and nothing has dropped off once unless I rebooted it or someone "accidently" unplugs it. In my case it was my router that was dropping my client devices off and this was before I bought my DT.

The update fixed the main problem I had with the phone. I play music from my phone to my car's system (Ford Sync) through bluetooth, and it used to not be able to start playback again after returning to my car without me having to manually toggle bluetooth off & on to reconnect it. Now it starts up right where it left off without me having to mess with it, like my old HTC phone did.
I haven't had much time to explore the update yet, but so far so good. I did OTA with no factory reset and everything seems fine.

Now this is going to be a real deal breaker for me, as I mostly talk while in the car. BT seems to be swithing itself off for no apparent reason. I entered my car on several occasions and got a call on the phone instead through car kit. Each time BT was off, and had to manually switch it back on. It also happened once for wifi - I found it turned off. I am on B10 OTA, no root, no bootloader unlock.
Anyone seen this issue??
i noticed this but blamed "face-dialing" for it . after a call is ended by the other party , the screen turns on fast and sometimes my face clicks the screen and pulls down the notification tray . maybe that's how the bt goes off . will keep an eye out in the next couple of days and update my post .
Same thing has been happening to me for bluetooth. I don't know why.
It's definitely not me turning it off. This is so annoying and stupid.

I have set up Automate flow to keep this turned on. However, Automate is also being shut down in the background. I have disabled power management for Automate, so I will see how this goes.

Same issue here - this is my second Axon 7. I returned the first cause it happened regularly and I assumed it was a hardware fault. But the same happens on the second handset too.
I really wanted to stay stock but wondering if LOS would solve this issue.
Seems like there's a software issue somewhere, odd that it doesn't affect everyone tho.
I wonder if this was anything to do with our issue?

Could be. However, Automate worked around the issue just fine

Care to share the details? I used to use AutomateIt (now Macrodroid) so may be able to recreate.

Sure, it's a simple flow that checks BT every minute. If it's off, it will turn it on.

I just uploaded this flow to the community, search for Axon 7. Just make sure you disable power management for Automate or it will be killed in the background too.

I just updated to 7.1.1 yesterday. I'm curious if there was a fix rolled in correct the BT issue. So far it's been staying on.
Got my 7.1.1 OTA this morning. BT stable so far.
Since updating my a2017g with official nougat 7.1.1 a few days ago my Bluetooth is staying reliably connected with my Garmin fenix 3 HR watch. Previous is was disconnecting all the time.
Possible solution

Now this is going to be a real deal breaker for me, as I mostly talk while in the car. BT seems to be swithing itself off for no apparent reason. I entered my car on several occasions and got a call on the phone instead through car kit. Each time BT was off, and had to manually switch it back on. It also happened once for wifi - I found it turned off. I am on B10 OTA, no root, no bootloader unlock.
Anyone seen this issue??

I found on reddit a comment that seems to work (at least in my case):
"Go to advanced settings / location/. select 3 dots choose scanning. turnoff blutooth scanning. problem solved. ITs turned off in mashmellow by default. Why it works NFI but it does. Found on a moto forum. Same issue."
Best
Seems to me that Marshmallow had a lot of problems with the A7. Mine is not that old and I never used it on Marshmallow. Updated it to Nougat after unboxing. Works well. My bluetooth is good. I literally had it playing music through my Jawbone speaker at work all day. Just runs, no issue.
Recieved on monday May 15 2017
Brings the security updatefrom March 2017 to April 2017

Received . everything seem . hope its will make battery life better

I downloaded this today but I have yet to install it.
This could totally be placebo, but it seems like my standby battery life has improved with the update.
Does Bluetooth finally work ?

I never had an issue to begin with, but can also placebo confirm that battery life seems better. I base this on nothing lol.
Can anyone test adb and fastboot working for this update?

You're lucky I guess lol... I frequently have issues with the BT not connecting to car stereo for both call/media audio
Frequently popping/skipping when playing music via bt, like many others have reported the only fix is to connect, wait for the popping/skipping, turn off bt on phone while playing audio then turn it back on, but even then it still does it occasionally
Audio/video sync off greatly when using bt also
I doubt this will ever be fixed with firmware updates as this has always been a problem with LG phones, I had the same issue with LG G2X and LG G4, I wish they would figure it out, I like their phones but its the one thing that drives me back to sammy for a few generations before trying LG again
Anyone else having issues with the SD card constantly unmounting after the update? I've tried multiple cards and all of them do the same after about 10 minutes.

I haven't had that issue. I have a 64gb SanDisk, and it hasn't had any problems.
13 hours since unplugged, 2 hours of sot, 66% battery left. Great update IMO.

I haven't been able to install said update. It won't show up on OTA and I can't get it through the LG Bridge. Is anyone else still rocking March 1st patch?

Yep, same here.
I downloaded lg bridge from the LG G6 thread and h update showed right away, updated in about an hour because I have an old slow netbook.

Not trying to be a smartass but did you format the card I know it gives an annoying notification that won't go away until it's reformatted I think. I just updated tonight and more than likely lost everything I'd pushed to it

For me it's slow for the initial connection to the car does connect phone then media but still is slower than I think it should be
