No GPS on my Samsung J320f - Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers

Hello,
because I’m a newbie, I hope to be in the right forum (because I only have question but no answer …).
Here’s my problem:
I can’t get GPS to work on my Samsung J320F (2016)! It always “seems” to function, but neither Google-Maps can find a position, nor openstreetmap. When I try to look after the actual address, mostly a place some kilometers away from my position is shown (if at all …).
Since now I’ve tried about nearly 10 different ROM-images, most of them had been called “stable“, and other users wrote about their working GPS.
Actually, I’ve installed RR-N-v5.8.5-20181025-j3xlte-Unofficial (2nd version with the same name …), before that I tried e.g. lineage-14.1-20190705-UNOFFICIAL-j3xlte.zip, RR-N-v5.8.5-20171003-bacon-Unofficial-RomilParh, DreamReborn1.4.zip, lineage-13.0-20170715-UNOFFICIAL-j3xnlte, lineage-13.0-20171128-UNOFFICIAL-j3xnlte.zip or lineage-13.0-20180208-UNOFFICIAL-j3xnlte.
Does anybody have a hint what I might do wrong, or how I could fix or at least locate the problem?
Everything else mostly works fine, and with the original operating system (Android 5.1) also GPS worked.
Thanks in advance
Christoph

Hello together,
it looks like I have found the solution! It wasn’t the ROM or OS, but just the map-software I used seems to be faulty.
When I take the app "maps.me" instead of google maps or openstreetmap, everything works fine! (And to find out this, I needed several days …)
So, the thread can be closed. Maybe it can help others with a similar problem.
Bye,
Christoph

WM6 Device Lock Filename

Does anyone know the exact name and location of the WM6 device lock file, ie the one where you can either use a simple pin or a complex password to enter your device? I definitely do not mean keylock.exe, as this is the wrong file.
I have searched this entire site using both google search and the normal search and drawn a blank. Also drawn a blank on the wider internet search although I admit my search criteria may be the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.

if you can't find an existing app to run that will lock your device, perhaps it would be easier to write your own?
at first glance, it would appear that a call to SHDeviceLockAndPrompt would do what you need
dalelane,
Thanks for this pointer. Interesting thought on writing a bespoke app; however I'm keen to use what's already there.
Problem is I need to ensure that one cannot circumvent the existing lock process when its engaged. At the moment I can do this, which worries me.
Appreciate the input.
WB
Hi
Have you found a Solution?

DanielS,
I went down the route where I made sure I wasn't running any apps that could circumvent the lock and that's about it, really.
I never actually got a direct answer to the original question I posed.
Cheers

iGo v8/ map's problem/outdated/ failed 240X320

Hi everybody
I'm trying to use my new iGo v8 but I can't.
I'm going to explain the situation.
The software works perfectly on my Jade, however when I put the map of France, it says that my map is outdated (not a problem with sys.txt, this part looks ok)
So after some readings, I decided to change my data.zip, which was supposed to be outdated too or a kind of. However, now I've got an error message saying that "Faile to open igo\240X320\loading.bmp".
So if someone can help regarding this, I'd be glad.
Thanks in advance
Hey guys
So finally I found a solution to my problems: I changed the version of iGo and took the last one (v8.3.5) and it solved all my problems.
See you

[search] ROM with Exchange Active Sync

Hi everybody!
So, in the last 20 days i searched & tried even any ROM i could get.
I also tried to use the AndroidSpin DB, but there i could not select by feature, only by OS or Developer.
First of all, many thanks to all of the Devs for their work. It's simple awesome to see & try your work
My Phone is a simple Sapphire [32B].
The Only ROM until now i found, is the kb7sqi-rogers-V2.7.2
Is there any newer with working Exchange Active Sync [Contacts, E-Mail, Calendar], working WLAN, working Bluetooth and working Camera/Video/Sound [youtube]?
The newer ones with working AS have atm some driverproblems with sound. So my Navi also don't speak with me.
I know, it's much, but's the preferred things for me.
Thanks in advance for any answer.
androidspin.com rom DB GL!
i already tried the androidspind DB.
there is no possibility to search by feature :-( and on many ROMS there is no detail
atm i have about 60 ROMs tried.

Voice command

Been looking at ways to add voice commands to my Android TS10 head unit, My last car had a little pad and buttons that was in easy reach but now the system is a little reach.
Having not had much luck with google assistant, I found a program called Toppal. Does anybody use it or heard of it and is it any good.
Here is a link to the site https://toppal.ai/
And here is a video of it in action
I'll follow this thread as my units come with Toppal preinstalled (but only the basic level, you have to pay for upgrade) but to me it's just a nuisance using resources, I've never tried to actually use it and I have asked here if anyone knows how to remove it without causing anything else to fail, but I got no answers.

I use Isudar in my car radio, but since my English is not good, they don't use it much. I would like the Czech language there, and I have not been able to set it as default yet. English only.
