Hello
I have a doubt about the fact that gps really works.
Some say yes and some do not.
I tried all 64b roms and there is no gps fix on it.
Some users provide screenshot about gps issue. But nobody about gps success.
As a reminder: location success does not mean gps working
Can you give screenshots with gps fixing success ?
thanks
No reply, I'm laughing softly.
Nobody is able to prove that gps runs on 64bits ...
There are only noobs who do not know what they say ...
:crying::silly:

I can confirm, there is NO working GPS in 64 bit. Most likely what has happened is usually one, or 2 actual ROMs come out. LOS, or AOSP. All the others just copy either build, and change the other stuff in it to fit their needs, or wants, but the actual drivers are all the same.. Which is why a lot of times, something will either get fixed, or broken, a few days later all of them shadow the same result. Now, one of 2 things have happened. Either GPS is just broken right now.. Something as simple as a driver is missing, or just need tweaked, and it just hasn't been fixed yet, or GPS is broken by the 64 Bit system, being our device was never built with 64 Bit, so there is also the chance that it can never be fixed with 64 bit. All we can do is wait and see.

Hello people. Tried to search the forum for this but nothing came up. I have a swedish Xperia and have flashed it a couple of times with different roms but have now returned to stock spl and what I think is the original rom.
Didnt have problems with the GPS in the beginning and it started causing problems when I started flashing, working now and then. Now I have no function what so ever.
Anyone got an idea?
Is it possible to "update" the phone wia the sony ericsson update utility to the original rom, my roms doesnt feel so original, dont even have a calculator.
My GPS doesnt seem to work very well either.. Even with newly downloaded GPS Satellite info, it cant seem to find a lock :\

That's what Im saying. Have you been flashing yours or is it straight from the box?
Sticky a GPS thread?
I propose that one of these GPS problem threads be made sticky since we cannot simply search "GPS" here and the GPS problems seem to be accumulating.
With that said, I would have to say that my GPS performance is pretty terrible. At first, it felt like doing the QuickGPS thing and/or deleting the xtra.bin file helped. For the most part, though, getting a lock has proven quite sporadic. What should the expectation here be? Should I expect the GPS to work reliably indoors? What about if I am near a window? Why would it work in some buildings near a window and not in others?
My personal opinion is that the GPS should work within 15-20 feet of a window. Using Chartcross GPS Test, even when the GPS is locked, I am getting mostly yellow bars. I am not exactly sure what a good reading looks like on Chartcross, but there appears to be a 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% bar. Maybe the 25% bar is 100%? In any event, I rarely have a satellite that is getting above what I suspect to be 30%.
Is there a thread somewhere that details what the various fields mean and/or should read in Chartcross or a similar utility? I am coming up on my 30 days to return the phone, so if someone thinks that my device may be defective please speak up!
Thanks as always XDA-ers!
so as many of us here i had the gps problem, and i started to not care anymore. The other day after i flashed Trigger 3.2, i also flashed some useful apps like SGS tool, spare parts etc. As i was going over those apps, i went to SGS tools, and noticed GPS fix all the way at the bottom. I decided to give it a try but didnt think it would work. I clicked and then select north-america.... and apply.
And surprisingly my GPS has been working perfectly fine since then.
So those of you who still have gps problem, try that
Hope this help

This has been posted before, it works for some people and it doesn't for others. Just like every other GPS fix out there. Not trying to be rude and I'm sure everyone appreciates you trying to help, but duplicate threads just create clutter. Once again I am not trying to be rude so please do not take it that way.
flashing the S.gps is the easiest way as I know
This is kind of random, but did anyone notice that the latest Kies update fixes/helps GPS?
With KA6, I have to manually set GPS mode to MS-Based and change the supl settings before I get a quick lock. With KB5, it works very well right out of the box. No configuration needed.
ooooohhhh

ooops i didnt know, wel anyways that works for me
When I got the device yesterday the GPS locked just fine. Then I saw there was an update and I thus downloaded it and flashed it via Odin as I find that easy than doing OTA, besides I was rooted!
The thing is, after the software update I rooted the phone again, by installing SuperSU from Play and updating the binary files and all that, then under SuperSU app it asked whether I want to disable KNOX or not, I obviously hit on Yes. And I think since then the problem has started. The GPS is not getting any lock. It can see 26-28 satellites but can't lock on to a single one! Before that I was getting more or less okay locks, around 8-10 sats out of 26.
I tried Faster Fix, didn't work, I unrooted by the SuperSU app option, nothing! Now finally I master wiped everything again, and flashed the ROM, and now GPS is working again! However I am not rooted as of this moment.
There is no doubt that this is a software problem, but the question is, how can I fix this? I have to depend heavily on GPS due to my line of work, I can't live without it.
Is it the ROM? I am using the latest 4.4.2 ROM of UAE. Should I move to some other ROM? I am sure I am not the first one who faced this problem, so I would really like some opinions on this.
Thanks in advance.
So you mean the cause of the problem is rooting?
Try re-rooting to see if it works.
Nah, root should not have anything to do GPS lock, at least not by any measurable margin.
But now I am seeing lots of YouTube videos, and I am confident that Note 3 has some GPS problems after all.

Something is wrong with GPS with this phone, should be software I believe, but what I don't understand why there isn't a fix for this!
PS: Anyway, what is the latest firmware version at this moment?

Tried it yesterday mate. Found it on YouTube. Didn't do anything good.
After testing for a long while all I can say that this phone is very sensitive to GPS locks! Right now I am having locks of 8-10 sats/21 sats, and that too with 20 feet accuracy, indoor. But the very next moment there's no GPS lock at all. But one thing is reassuring that outside, under open sky, whatever the circumstances are it will be locked just fine, more than fine actually, but the problem happens indoor.
This certainly was not the case with my previous Samsungs, be it the Note 2 or S4. The day GLONASS was introduced it was a dream come true for me, but this phone's performance is somewhat disappointing.
I needn't to say anything, all those video links I posted above are clearly mentioning the issue.
I am truly amazed at this. I have been searching for almost 3 years for a working dual boot android for my windows 2 in 1 next book FlexX 11. I have begged, posted and begged some more for this and now I have it thanks to Phoenix OS. (Just Google flexx11 android and you will see all my posts)
The only things that do not seem to work is Bluetooth and on some driving games the accelerometer is stuck in portrait even though I'm in landscape. It's weird because the nicer games have the bug and the cheaper ones work.
Please don't take this as complaining, honestly I would like these fixed if possible, but if they never are I would still be very pleased.
THANK YOU PHOENIX OS AND DEVS YOU MADE MY DREAMS COME TRUE!
You did what all the others couldnt
Anyone?
Bluetooth fix?
Accelerometer fix?
Anyone?
How did you get it to work? wonder if it would work on my Ares 10a?

You could have built it yourself.
Hello,
I could get Bluetooth working (at least for file transfers) using a custom build by youling257 and another guy from the Chinese PhoenixOS forum. The key was the init.sh script, it had a fix for other models with the same hardware, I have simply included the model I have (actually modified an existing one to match mine). Do you know exactly your BT model? Thinkpad 8 uses a Broadcom chip.
As for the games, my guess is that the builds fake a gyroscope that actually doesn't exist, at least mine has only accelerometer, that works for rotating the screen, but apps that report sensors also list others that don't exist. You can try disabling the kernel modules or changing the XML permissions to disable the gyroscope...
Regards

Which rom and version? If stock how is your bootloader status?
Same here. GPS doesn't work at all with GPS status app, or when using device only, but it does work in Google maps, just with poor accuracy. Tried installing LOS and it didn't fix it. Installed Franco kernel again but that didn't help either. Guess I'll go back to OOS and maybe that will fix it? Otherwise I'm stumped.
