hello guys,
'
im in deep s***. so i have a samsung captivate. and one day I accidentally hit the "power save" setting instead of "conservative" setting. and after boot it slowed the whole phone down to unusable. but thankfully i manage to crawl in and change the setting back to conservative.
everything seems to be normal now, except GPS!
now it hardly sees more than one satellite, and if it does, it shows all of them on top of each other in the north, and NEVER gets a lock.
what do you guys think is wrong? and how can I fix this? (
thank you

Thanks for the reply but I am currently running Cog 2.1.6 with Atinm's v1.10 build. I havent reflashed my phone in quite some time but was wondering if this JM9 fix also works on my phone with the build I am running. I searched the forums and it says this is for Eclair JM9. How do I find out if this is JM9? My baseband version is I897UCJH7. I assume my phone is JH7 so this will not work, however, you also said that it works with stock rom which is JH7....so I am a wee bit confused here.
Thanks.

could you please outline the procedure if you dont mind?
I load this to SD card, then boot into recovery or go thru ROM manager, and then what steps?
thanks a lot
tried this yesterday, but no luck. GPS same. worse, now my PC does not recognize my SD card!!!
Hey guys, I could use a little help. I tried flashing the new Cognition 4, and I got an error at line 12. No biggie, just flash to stock. When I got TiBu (paid version) and went to re-remove all the AT&T bloatware...they no longer appear in TiBu. The apps are still on my phone, and all work, but I can't seem to remove them again. Any ideas on what I should do?

Thanks! I guess the problem was an older version of Busybox. I updated from 1.6.1 that comes with TiBu to 1.7 and viola...they appeared in the list, and I deleted them.
Now, if I could ony get TiBu to restore my Quickoffice app that came on the phone, was backed up, but will not restore for some reason...

Anyone ever see this? I have this issue on my CM11 based Nexus 7 and my Galaxy S4. My Acer running the OS seen in my signature is not affected. Both CM threads chase me away stating that this is not a CM issue. I have cleared Play Store app data to no avail.
Is this happening right from the start of Play Store or is it when you try to download a app?

Clearing data/cache did nothing. Installed the 4.6.17 version today, clearing data/cache after, still nothing.
Have you tried visiting internet or used internet in any other application so that we know it's nothing wrong with your internet?
If you have and your internet is working fine but not in Play Store, it could be something wrong with your host file.
Since you are running CM i assume your phone is Rooted.

Hi people, when i try to turn Wifi on, i press the button on fast options, but it don't turn on, and when i go to settings, wifi stays different from the other ON/OFF selectors. If i reboot the phone, it starts working, but a while after that it does the same.
What ROM, Kernel are you using?
What about from the quick tiles? Can you activate wifi from there?
Try using stock theme.

It seems that the problems is because of the Snapdragon app, Battery Guru, on the settings it disables Wifi, and i unnistall it, and now it seems to work perfectly

Probably a setting in there to disable WiFi, but honestly you don't need Snapdragon Battery Guru. The OnePlus battery is amazing as it is, just stick to basic battery conservative tips such as eliminating wakelocks from occurring to ensure your phone deep sleeps.

Yeah it desables WiFi in case of inactivity, i just instaled because some people tryed it and said it was nice, but doesn't change anything in OnePlus. Now is working well, let's see if it don't returns to the same.

Please try to turn off wifi optimization on built-in settings
(settings/ wifi/ advanced/wifi optimization => untick=off)
Been using it this way for the last 2.5 days with no wifi issue to date yet.
3days now no WiFi issue.
I don't have MAC address.. wifi hardware damage?
I have this rather annoying problem with my OPO: When I'm on WiFi and go out of range and get within range of another WiFi (eg leaving from home in the morning and getting on the train where there's also WiFi) my OPO will not connect.
I've tried switching WiFi off and back on, tried forgetting network and connecting again but the network just displays as "Saved". Only thing that works is a reboot. Funny thing is that it actually detects open WiFi's and displays the question mark in the notification bar.
I've read that themes can cause WiFi problems so I haven't changed that. I'm using the Apex launcher with no visual changes.
I've rooted my phone but left the bootloader locked.
Any advice?
I'm rooted with the TWRP custom recovery installed. I had the same thing happen to me. If you toggle airplane mode on/off, it will reconnect. But, as for a solution, my fix was to restore a previous TWRP backup of my phone. I also had heard that the problem could be coming from a theme. What themes have you used? I bought the Flux theme and have been using its style and fonts. I was running the stock CM11s when this happend just a few days after getting my OPO. I would try a factory reset first. If that does not work, there is a thread in the OPO forums about flashing a factory image and getting back to 100% stock.
I have switched to the CM11 nightlies as of a couple of days ago. I will probably refrain from messing around with the theme packs for now.

Will probably unlock the bootloader. Then a factory reset should be taken care of I guess...

I'm now on KTU84P and the problem is still there
Yesterday I failed to flash MAHDI and ended up clearing everything from my phone. I had to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
to get back to pre-KTU84P (can't remember the build number).
So I guess it's safe to say that my phone has had all sorts of memory cleared. And the problem is still there...

I really hate to hear that you are still having the wifi issue. One would think that if you flashed all partitions with a factory image that it would solve the problem. You might want to have a look at this thread. This guy was unsuccessful in fixing his efs and bluetooth problems until he flashed Color OS and then went back to CM. Have a read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/fix-people-corrupt-efs-mobile-data-t2836389
Keep us posted.

Will have a look at the ColorOS thread. But I think I'll give Mahdi another go first to see what that brings me.
Thanks for the link.
Flashed Mahdir ROM yesterday and though the rom works just fine my WiFi reconnect issue has not been resolved
I find flashing yet another rom (ColorOS) sounds a bit drastic. Really no way of debugging what's wrong?

Although is sounds drastic I think it would be worth trying.

No. I'm waiting for the update to hit my phone and install it to see if that solves it. In the meantime though, I installed an app called Smart WiFi Locker that seems to keep the issue solved (for now)

Thanks for sharing. I think there are two things that can produce a major restore/fix to a phone - a nandroid restore and a major rom update. I hope it fixes yours. The nandroid restore is what saved mine.

Been there. Done that. Read the book. Got the t-shirt.
Flashed ColorOS.
Factory reset.
Booted and got through into ColorOS (skipped account setup).
Booted into recovery.
Factory reset.
Restore backup of CM11S.
No dice :'-(
What are my options now?
A couple of days ago I completely wiped my OPO - radio, modem, everything and flashed a new stock image. Nothing has helped.
I really find it hard to believe this to be a hardware issue.

Just for clarification - after flashing Color OS, did you turn on wifi and use it to see if the problem was still there while in Color OS?
If your WiFi 2.4 or 5GHZ?

Yes. I would recommend you consider doing that. If it works then I would flash a fresh Cm11s rom, not a nandroid backup. Flash the Color OS and do a full check of the Wifi.

I was having the same issue, but here's what I did and it seems to have resolved my issue.
1) Updated firmware on my ASUS AC68 router
2) Boot into recovery mode (volume down+power), wipe cache and media, then factory wipe
3) When setting up phone, did not apply CM theme on the options after logging into CM account.
It seems like WiFi might drop when you get to homescreen, just reboot phone and Wifi should reconnect. Make sure to go into your WiFi settings and remove any networks that was saved, and re-add.
Still not ideal (since it seems like themes might be killing WiFi for some users), so hopefully a new OTA update will solve this problem.
