[Q] Location Service (Rooted, CM 10.1) - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my GS3 I have Locate My Droid installed and works beautifully. Problem comes in that I would like the same functionality for my tablet. Obviously I know the tablet will need an internet connection, which it has WiFi. I notice that I can't seem to find tracking software that works with my GT-P3113. I am running CM 10.1 so the Samsung software won't work for me as it requires me to be running the stock ROM to access.
Any ideas?

[Q] Wi-fi Direct

Is wifi direct disabled by Samsung for the Skyrocket? Coworker and I are on ICS 4.0.3 (ICSMOD5) and can connect but when we try to send a file,pic or anything it doesn't display his device as an available option.
Really tired of having to pull out my SD card to send files.
same problem on my end except it won't fully connect either. just detect other devices. probably just an early version bug.
Maybe. I don't remember if this was available back on 2.3.6 or not.
We do have wifi direct cert but is samsung disabling this?

i believe it was.
at least 2.3.5 it was.
Switched to a few different roms with the same results. Even tried to mix and match ICS roms with coworkers and we still can't get it to do jack.
Hand to face moment..
SOLVED: Disable the data and reconnect. It wasn't allowing the send I think because the LTE was still on. Works fine now.

[Q] GPS not working

I have an inspire 4g on Att. running android 4.0.4, redemption 1.1. i have tried all the different gps installs in rom tools for att, generic and stock gps and rebooted after each change. however my phone still will not connect to a gps sat. it will not see any and therefore cannot lock. anyone have any info that may be of any help.
Slow
I'm running Android 4.0.4 with the C&C ICS rom and although my gps works I've noticed that it is very slow when trying to find my location in things such as Maps. Is there something to flash or update to get it working/improve performance?
Either hardware fault or improper aGPS settings.

VPN working after ICS update??

Got a HK tab, flashed ics without any problems - wifi & battery seem to be ok, none of the problems some people are having...
BUT, since updating I haven't been able to get a VPN connection working. With HC I was using an L2TP connection with AceVPN...
Also tried the VPNC widget without any luck
Anyone had better luck than I have?
I am able to get a stable L2TP connection with strongvpn on the ICS build for P6800.
yes i can't connect vpn either

my device is p6810 from HK, and i can't connect to vpn with the stock ics rom , but it can be done if i use the cm9 rom , extremely fast.
i was also wondering maybe we need to wipe the data and maybe a totally clear system with the stock ics could make the vpn work.
I have the same problem after flashing ICS on my P6810, everything works properly except VPN connections. Factory reset and wipe data did not help and still got (usually timeout) error while trying to connect to VPN. Same vpn connections works fine on my other device (CM9).
Thanks for the replies.
On a very small sample size, it looks that it might be a problem with either:
1) The 7.7 Wifi-only Tab
2) Flashing the ICS rom onto a HK tab...
Anyone got a European wifi-only tab that can't use VPN??

Having the same problems with a HK P6800 tab running the stock HK ICS Rom (LP7) - an L2TP/IPSEC VPN which used to work fine (and works on 2 computers and another Android device with 2.3.3) just gets a timeout on both 3G and WiFi. Have not tried PPTP.
Server side reports bad data (malformed packet data I think) and the device just keeps trying then gives the timeout.
Pity when such an overall enhancement in performance breaks a vital function
my UK firmware P6810 ICS tab does not work with PPTP VPN. This is a ball-ache. How can we fix this?
however, it works when using the CM10 based Nexus 7.7 rom but I can't stick with that rom due to lack of HW acceleration.
VPN not working on P6800, 3G one either

I've a P6800 - 3G. After loaded HK ROM, VPN doesn't work either. This would be a critical defect. Any one has luck?

Hey there
I faced the same problem and contacted my vpn support services, they asked for the device model and it's rom, so i replied 6800-ICS
They sent me a new specific server setting... And it worked with no problem
Contact the services

[Q] Bluetooth issue with VRBLK1

I installed this latest jellybean leak for my Verizon GS3.
Pairing is not a problem nor is auto connect. My problem is the audio is completely garbled and inaudible during voice phone calls from my car.
I have an Infinity G37.
I did not have any problems before I flashed this leak Prior to this, I had flashed CyanogenMod 10 unofficial nightly builds with no problems. Prior to this, I had also used the latest verizon release for ICS with no problems.
The phone (as currently flashed to the jellybean leak VRBLK1) pairs and works perfectly with my wife's BMW Z4.
I have reset, unpaired, cleared the cache, etc and I just cant get this to work. I have tried different radios with no luck. I have downloaded and tried different bluetooth fixes from the marketplace with no luck.
My only option is either flashing back to ICS, or CyanogenMod 10 unofficial, but I prefer not to do that because other than this problem, everything else is perfect.
I have searched the forums and am unable to get an older version of Bluetooth Share (Would like to replace 4.1.1 with 4.0.4) which i suspect may fix this problem.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I do a lot of calls in my vehicle and we have a hands free ordinance in our city.
Nothing?
Anyone? Anyone? Anyone?
You've got it: 4.1.1 issue. No idea on a fix, I'm back to ICS as a result. Isn't a modem issue it seems (unless interaction between JB builds and particular modems), seems to be a JB issue (reported across phones with lots of different vehicles).

[Q] Dead GPS - stock, CM and EOS

Having some difficulties with the GPS on my TF101. I've done complete wipes and installed the latest stock ROM, a CM variant, and EOS 4 w/ Kat kernel.
At each stage, I attempted to get a fix using Google Maps, then with GPS Status. I tried rooted vs unrooted. I tried using the Kat GPS fix, and with the GPS wipe / download in GPS Status -- all to no avail.
The absolute most I ever see is a single, solitary GPS (getting 0/1 in GPS Status). Never enough to locate my position.
Had someone else who bought a TF101 around the same time as me try it as well. He is running the stock firmware, and has the same issues with the GPS.
Is there any obscure fix that someone here knows about that has solved their GPS issues on the Transformer? Anything else I can try? With my Galaxy S3, I get 9 almost immediately, and it goes to 11 within a few seconds. Is it just that the GPS in the Transformer is full of fail?
If it does not work on complete stock, there is a chance your GPS radio is fubar.
I have no idea how to diagnose this, just a thought.
Look at your GPS.conf file and on the net there is the GPS government website I think it is that tells you what servers to use. Maybe you can compare what your file has versus what the site says.
The file dictates what is will do and how it connects. Programs that show your GPS like agps or others on the play store don't actually edit the file so garbage in garbage out.
