As per my comment above. After lots of forums etc.. Some who had problems either got the main board replaced our swapped for new phone. In one case I recall the USER saying they had to swap it twice before getting stable GPS version. In my case SAMSUNG Australia didn't want a bar of the...

I agree. My GPS is sort of stable 80% of the time. There are some boardrevisions of n9005 that went crazy after 4.3 to 4.4 official upgrade. It wasn't until I got a 5.1 ROM that it finally worked 100% of the time. GPS was great but reboots made me look for another ROM. Found ARYA ROM and it's...

Go to Root folder Then data/data/idlekernel Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Froze kernel adiutor Made sure phone rebooted ok twice Manually deleted idle kernel folder Shut down, pulled battery. Installed 3.7 test. Immediate successful boot. Amazing Going thru my apps now to check status and issues. Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Before I ask a question thought I would give some GPS feedback. MY ..."N9005".... always was a dog using GPS . Now fixed. For those still having issues try this. Install baseband ..POK2. POK2 by itself did NOT fix gps issue. Go to sammobile.com and download the last official ROM from your...

Had same problem. Previous instruction from someone here was to manually delete idlekernel folder, then reboot into recovery and install. root/data/data/idlekernel Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app

Thanks Andrew. Read change log but it implies it does the wipe. In any case, I manually deleted idle kernel folder. Re installed 3.6 and all good so far. Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app

Sadly for n9005 on ARYA 6.5 ROM gets constant reboots just as it reaches SAMSUNG LOGO. lsskernel-hlte-eur-3.6UX-mmport.zip Used audax kernel cleaner, clear cache, Dalvik, but no good. Back to 3.5ux Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app

Hi I finding this in gps.config # GPS Capabilities bit mask # SCHEDULING = 0x01 # MSB = 0x02 # MSA = 0x04 # ON_DEMAND_TIME = 0x10 # default = ON_DEMAND_TIME | MSA | MSB | SCHEDULING CAPABILITIES=0x17 Replace with you config or just copy past ? This is what happened in my device Gps status make...

Explains why over the last two years people had different fixes for GPS issue on n9005. But a few n9005 still had problems. I know nothing about this CAPABILITIES setting, yet reading the default layout it seems like the bit mask is in series. Eg Capabilities=0x11 0x02 ... With each addition...

Can i ask which files should i edit on this gps config? I need to tried it if its helps lot of. Sent from my SM-A710F using Tapatalk With a good file explorer. Such as x-plore. Go to ROOT/system/etc/ scroll down till you find..... gps.conf Make a back up before doing anything. Then select...

To prove that particular addition fixed GPS TESTplus flickering, I hashed (#) it out. Thus; #CAPABILITIES=0x11 rebooted phone. And had same problem. Removed # now have CAPABILITIES=0x11 Rebooted. And stable again.. The # parts in the file are just comments/explanations. At the very least...

Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app It looks like the GPS ON_DEMAND time is increased from 0x10 to 0x11. Other parameters left blank. This fixed GPS TESTplus flickering issue. Makes sense, as I stated earlier it's a timing issue. No need to go back to POK2 modem file, which...

I tested parts of his gps.conf file in mine. Found that the insertion of; # GPS Capabilities bit mask # SCHEDULING = 0x01 # MSB = 0x02 # MSA = 0x04 # ON_DEMAND_TIME = 0x10 # GEOFENCE = 0x20 # default = ON_DEMAND_TIME | MSA | MSB | SCHEDULING | GEOFENCE CAPABILITIES=0x11 worked from this...

GPS issue on some note 3s started after OTA upgrade from android 4.3 to 4.4. Finally a android 5.0 ROM fixed the gps issue(but had other problems instead). It is NOT the gps.conf file. In fact I emptied all contents from gps.conf and so far(1 day testing) mapping works ok. But gps testing...
