I've just into using Pocketbreeze and am finding very good so far..its working flawlessly on the exec. Just wondering if theres an application that gives u your recent calls whether missed or made on the today screen so that I can have it as a tab within Pocketbreeze. I've tried Phone Dashboard and a few others but they all open a the relevant application to view the calls. Was wnting something that would just show the calls on the today screen itself. Thanks for any help

I've tried DKToday but really wanted a calls list on the today screen rather than just a missed call etc...but thanks for the link.

Well, this is one, but I can't seem to get it to work on my Sprint CDMA Apache (6700).. it's looking for a SIM card, so that tells me it's GSM only.
If any of you kind folks would like to rev-eng it for CDMA, I'll supply, seeings how I already wasted my money on it.
Hi guys
the other day i lost my HD2 walking the dog..... god i was panicking (spelt right?? who knows?)
Tried searching everywhere, couldn't find it.. called it a few times.. ring ring.. nothing...
So dejected i went home and tried the Microsoft MyPhone service.. which you can use to
locate your phone...
send messages to it
force it to go extra loud and scream (well pretty much)
wipe it remotely...
however i got a few issues
the location service didnt work..
don't know if the loud screaming worked..
i was able to send messages to it..
LUCKILLY!!!! i called it again and someone had already picked it up and i popped round and got it..... PHEW!!!!...
Are there any limitations on the location service in the UK?
is it a provider issue?
Anyone tried it at all?
Ta
I actually was testing Microsft My Phone today to see if it can detect where my phone is, it failed. Is there any good app out there that can actually lock and detect your phone where ever it is...

disagree...i tested it and it was 98% accurate, works fine!
Works flawlessly (most of the time) for me, and I'm in the UK.
EDIT: I mean yes it does know where my phone is... not entirely sure about being able to remotely lock / send messages to it though... haven't tried that.
AFAIK it works worldwide but only sends its location when it synchronises and i think it also needs enabling in the application
So I land in Orlando on vacation, get my rental car, and enter the hotel address into Maps ready to push the navigation button as soon as I'm out of the garage. I do this and gps can't get a fix. I start driving in a random direction assuming it'll get a fix soon. Long story short, it never does!
I've been using gps, maps, navigation all with no issues until now. Had my phone since mid July. Tried restarting, tried battery pull, of course gps on/off a million times. Downloaded a free gps test app - if I was reading it right it seemed to show about 8-12 satellites it was picking up but 0 fixes. It's like the gps hardware is working fine but it won't get a fix on my location.
I'm on stock ROM. Haven't done anything weird or installed any new apps other than a fee games.
Any suggestions? I was counting on having maps/navigation while on vacation.

The only thing I can think of is reprovision/factory reset. *2767*3855#. You'll lose EVERYTHING on your phone though. Make a backup first. If that doesn't work I don't know of any other way to fix GPS.
It sounds like the GPS receiver is working if it shows satelites, it just needs to download the catalog. You might try going outside and running some GPS software for an hour and getting a good download. Or you should be able to download a program like GPSstatus. then go to menu, tools, manage a-gps. From there do a RESET, then a DOWNLOAD. Then go outside for a while and you should start seeing fixes on satellites.
I like worwig's suggestion. I'm not familiar with GPS fixes, so it's great if what he said will work. Reprovisioning tends to fix anything related to radio problems (if IMEI was never lost)

Tried this. Problem still persists. Can't get lock in Maps unless I let it go for over a minute. If I use GPS Test or GPS Status, it IMMEDIATELY reports 27 satellites in view, but shows connected to 0 for a good 20~30 seconds, then slowly starts to connect to one at a time.
Again, fully stock, non-rooted, locked bootloader.
try this in the Market:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidlab.gpsfix&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
its been listed in other forums that it works, and as i haven't used it myself, will go by what others say that works.
if nothing else, its free

This is the ONLY app I have not tried on the market and I finally got a working gps on my S3 with Synergy Rom & Unlocked bootloader (of course) ... So thank you for the mention of the app!
Thanks to everyone who's tried to help. I've tried everything here except for a factory reset which was my last resort. So far nothing has worked. The first time I did the GPS Test thing, it worked, but then 5 minutes later when I went to use maps, it wasn't working again. I tried the other app - GPSfix as well - nothing. Also spent an hour on the phone with a Verizon Tech trouble shooting - not that I thought they'd know more than I could find on my own here, but figured it was worth a try.
I'll be factory resetting in a week or so (don't wanna do it now cause I don't have time to reset up everything on my phone right now). When I do I'll report back. Also I did find over on droidforums that there are several people who've had this exact same issue with their S3 - GPS worked fine then suddenly didn't work at all. So it may be a bigger glitch that's triggered somehow in some phones. All I know is I need my gps working and reliable on my phone...
If anyone else has had this issue and figured it out, let us know. Otherwise, I'll report back after the factory reset...

Hollywood,
Just out of curiosity, were you ever running Synergy?
With my situation, it took three calls to VZW, and an hour-long phone call to Samsung (which resolved nothing) to get a new phone shipped to me. The only good thing that came from the Samsung phone call was that I used it as ammunition when calling VZW the last time ("Look, I was even on the phone with Samsung tech support for an hour today, and they couldn't help me."). The Samsung rep had never even heard of the term "GPS Lock" and didn't understand the concept. She was totally convinced that if the blue arrow came up in Google Maps, that my GPS was working as it should, despite the still-flashing GPS icon and the "Searching for GPS" message in the pull-down screen. Also, she didn't think it was a problem that my positional accuracy never got closer than 3,400 meters.
A complete factory reset didn't help me; I even used Odin to reload stock, non-rooted, locked bootloader OTA ROM with original kernels, recovery, radios, etc.
I also tried the re provisioning dialer code, which didn't help.
I tried the GPS Fix program, GPS Test, GPS Status, and everything else I thought looked promising. Nothing helped.
GPS Fix helped after initial lock, but only while it kept GPS control. Once it released "fix", Maps would go back to having the same problem getting a lock after a while.
Good luck!
Search for the agps patch. Any forum will work. It works on all android. I just flashed it and I'm running beans. It also works for like cm. I used the 3.1 cwm flashable patch. It locks gos on instantly.

GPS Issues
So now that I have my new SGS3 on the way (should be here in two days) my GPS starts working again out of the blue. No changes to my phone, no new apps. Too weird that after three weeks of it not working right, it suddenly works perfectly again.
At least the issue shouldn't repeat once the completely new phone arrives.

My phone is doing something very similar, it's finding various satellites and finding a fix on 3 of them. Although, in Google Maps and Navigation, it will stay stuck on searching for GPS. This phone has been great since day 1 including GPS, strange that it will stop working just like that. I tried clearing data for Maps, running other GPS utilities, and a factory reset to no avail.
Decided to phone Verizion, and they will send me another S3 (refurb).. Hoping the new one works as it should.
Hey guys. Ia anyone having any issues with background data? I don't get push Notifications When im not on WiFi. Even when I'm on WiFi, my screen needs to be on to retrieve them. I've tried toggling the background data setting on and off. Music seems to work fine though, streaming. Tried prl and profile updates and even hard reset. I also installed the software update. anyone else having the same issue? Ia there a setting I'm missing?
Tyia
I have something similar, it seems to update but only when it wants to. Specifically with some apps data works only when on WiFi. For Example Google Play Music takes forever (I mean 10 minutes to load one song) to load songs on Sprints Network, but it is immediate on WiFi. Same thing with Facebook App, it will take 15-20 minutes to load data when in Sprint Network. As soon as I connect to WiFi it works immediately. Other apps work great, others don't.
Had the same issue. Sprint told me to do the ##72786# trick. Seems to work so far.

Grrrr i don't get it. I tried that, still a no go. Google play music, google wallet and hangouts don't work period on lte. But voice search and the google app works just fine. No push Notifications on anything except on gmail for some reason. So frustrating, i don't get email notifications for work which is bad. I blame sprint's software team because my sprint note 4 and the s6 on verizon and att have no such issues.
I also posted a thread describing the same issues. All i know is sprint bette be working thier asses off on this because this is ridiculous i miss my gvoice txt for work because of this. If a customer cant txt me than i lose money. And im blaming sprint right now
Not to mention that the workaround is to use wifi. To use wifi!! Did they forget that there is also a major bug with wifi draining the phone like crazy as well. Pretty messed up
I've got the issue back again. I'm going to best buy to return. My wife's white phone is working perfect. Do you guys have the black version?
White, im outside of my 14 days. I have the white.
It works! Out of nowhere today , all of the issues are gone !
Guys please contact your carrier and samsung this is a bug affecting a lot of phones. I'm on the 4th and it is still an issue. The first 2 were black 64gig models and the last 2 are gold 64gig models.

I must say i love the phone as in battery life and the camera also gives some nice pictures.
But what started it to not love the phone anymore is the notification problem.
I installed Whatsapp and as soon as the lockscreen was active or a few minutes later it stopped to receive notifications.
This also was for Telegram and my home automation app.
I have searched for topics and found quite allot of these similar notification problems with tips.
What i have done is set by every application that needed to be running in the background :
Enable autostart
Turn of battery saving mode - no limitation
Lock the app in the screen where you can empty / close the running apps.
Also found a topic and application that should "fix" some notification problems for MIUI.
https://github.com/FabioCZ
Not sure if this completly works but i am starting to get most notifications on whatsapp/telegram etc.
What does not work at all is my video doorbell,
the application is Hik-Connect.
Got my older samsung phone laying next to the note 10 and press the ring button.
Only samsung rings, the note 10 doesn't work at all.
ofcourse i have installed them both from the playstore, used the same settings on the xiaomi to keep it running.
Nothing
Is there anyone that has an idea, because the whole handy thingy is gone now.
maybe a custrom rom will solve it,but since i have no idea how to make it thats a no go
I did unlocked the phone , installed orange fox and magisk to use titanium backup.
Can say that this didn't work flawless also, getting magisk giving the toast message to give certain apps root acces etc etc.
whats even worse, can't return the phones ( got 2, 1 for me and for m girlfriend)
Well hope someone has an idea.
Thanks
edit: i am using nightskeeper to automatically turn of the sound at a certain time and turn it on.
Give some contacts rights to still call trough the audio block.
But also this application does not work anymore, i get this notice every time but its already active.
When i enter ok, and turn the permissions on it works again for a few hours or so and then its gone.
its getting a bit frustrating , hopefully my alarm clock will still stay working
try this setting

try to put a system sound, the same thing happens when I put an mp3 or music sound
thanks guys,
the sound trick was indeed a good one because it could not find the audio file that was set from my samsung phone ( used titanium backup to install WA again)
It does seem that 9 of 10 times i do get the notices.
Also got my Hik-Connect app finally running and ringing when i press the doorbell.
Now comes the strangest part, the settings that i have put in my phone are identical to the phone of my girlfriend.
And my phone works with most of the services that i want but the phone from my girl doesn't.
Also bumped into another thing, wifi tethering .
I have a android radio in my car, what i got set with Tasker for years is :
1 - jump in the car
2- bluetooth makes a connection to the radio/phone .
3- tasker notices this, starts wifi tethering / hotspot
4- radio will connect on the hotspot of the phone and live traffic naviation / streaming radio works.
That was how it was supposed to work, now i get a notice from tasker that its not working, need a extra application and root.
I have root / installed the wifi tasker tether application. Also found the module that should do the same and installed this in magisk.
But still a no go
i do like fiddeling around with my phones, but it has to work eventually haha.
Would come in handy if i know how to write code and make my own fix for this.
Ah well anyway, im going to make a full backup from my phone and try to set this 1:1 on my girls phone.
Hopefully the notifications and the doorbell will work then.
Thanks guys
Im using notifybuddy for notifications and it's a life changer.
Hello Vincenttot, I have bought a PocoX3 PRO mobile and the same thing happens to you.
What does not work at all is my video doorbell, the application is Hik-Connect. But on other phones it works fine.
Have you found any solution?
Thanks guys
