Just wanted to follow up about the GPS fix files. I went to a different AT&T ROM, and used the files to fix the GPS. Works outstanding.@superbfox
It's what I was expecting, thank you for letting me know. I was hoping someone did the fix without a factory reset.
@Agent
Cool, thank you
Whoever fixed this should get it. Even if its att that does it and has people fix the phone issues. True its a form of outsourcing but if your hired crew isnt doing it right then it is what it is
This fix worked for me however I noticed my gps lock gets stuck sometimes. Do you have a link to your latest fix anywhere?
Have you tried calibrating your compass and gyroscopes using a program like GPS Status?
Yes I have. It still seems to be doing the same thing. I am also connecting to 9+ satellites so my connection in that sense seems fine.
I rooted my phone using evilpotatoman method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2559715. After rooting I replaced the six gps files, installed xposed with some modules, safestrape, and backed everything up. After a couple of days and me not messing with the phone constantly, I noticed that there was a battery drain of about 2.0% per hour with the phone sitting over night. I downloaded the BBS program and uploaded the logs to the BBS and was told I had a lot of stuff running in the back groud and to remove avast anti virues because it was a battery hog. Then I decided to install xnote 7. It ran perfect. The gps worked great and there was no battery drain even with avast installed and running. I was getting 0.3 to 0.5% battery drain during the night. However the group/text messaging was working really slow on my microcell at home. The messaging worked fine on the stock rom so I decided to install Dynamic 1.3 which is based on the MJ5 rom instead of the international one. The Dynamic 1.3 worked fine for a day but than the GPS issues came back. At this point I replaced the six gps files and the GPS started to work again. However that is when the battery drain started again. Before I replaced the gps files I was getting a battery drain of 0.4% per hour and after I replaced/changed the gps files the battery drain increaed to 2.0% per hour. The only thing that I replaced/changed was the six gps files.
Try re-calibrating the compass again. I find the compass gets out of whack and must be re-calibrated constantly, otherwise the poles flip/freeze causing the bouncing around of your GPS icon. I can connect consistently to 12-19 satellites, but if my compass isn't calibrated, my GPS will still bounce around even when locked.
Thanks! I will give this another couple of tries when I can get outside later. I would rather try it with nothing blocking the signal, and it it currently -21 degrees here.
Detailed directions are in the ROM's thread
