My GPS won't find me. On tw or aosp ROMs. I tried tightening my screws in the back of my phone as much as possible. Tried the faster fix. Very annoying any orher possible solutions. Thinking about going back to my gnex because it's so annoying.

Call Verizon and tell them. They will send you another phone, that's what I did when I couldn't get gps lock or my micro usb slot sparked up

Try going into navigation and get directions to a place of your choice, start navigation and let it set. I have had it take up to 20 minutes to get a lock. Once it does it seems to be pretty fast after that. Also I have dirty flashed before and had that fix it. It is really hit and miss for me when I'm switching between asop and TW GPS is very touchy.

I currently have a white Verizon Galaxy S3 and I like the look of the AT&T Red one better. I'd rather not switch carriers over a color choice of a cell phone. Is it possible to do a board swap and would the Verizon board work perfectly in the new AT&T phone exterior?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
If your referring to the m/o board that would be pretty hard. You could just swap the glass panel. It'll fit either way
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Normally swapping the motherboard is fairly easy. I havent taken apart a Galaxy S3 yet. Is it easy just to swap the glass panel part and is it much simpler to just do that?

Lol no. That involves breaking the glass if memory serves me right. Replacing the mother board should be much easier. I do not see why it wouldn't work. Try and find out.

First I'll have to acquire some broken test devices but people think they're holding gold when they have a destroyed device. It's troublesome

What? Why would you have to break the panel? Your memory must be wrong sorry
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I'm just wondering if the board swap would be possible.. I do have a use for the AT&T phone afterward. So the board swap would be optimal if possible.

Thanks. If I ever try it and get successful results I'll make sure to update this thread. The only hard part is finding a cheap red phone to test.

The s3 is easy to take apart. I think this is a pop and swap device. Would be cost and time effective to get a red screen and a back cover and swap your internals into it.

Oh.. I've got one of those. I work at a Verizon store. Haha, I've learned that this is a three part screen. Is it challenging to separate the digitizer from the glass? If so I'll just get a combo.

I didn't think it was but after seeing this, I don't think I'd want to do it. I'd do it if I had to but not for a color swap I don't think...

Could buy the screen the color you want then sell your old one. Hell, I might be interested.

Honestly probably not; and I think it's a gimmick at the moment. A phone entirely controlled by gestures? Sounds great in theory, but not great in practice
I guess I'll find out soon enough on my nexus 7.

It gets open sourced on the 21st so anyone can take a shot at porting it.

one word: BB10, blackbery's new os is entirely gesture drive
but we don't have enough devs for a port of something like this, its massive... I truly believe that unless a device with similar chip set/CPU gets it we likely won't. Don't get me wrong our devs are great, just few
Would be nice, as would Firefox OS but i'm more hot for Ubuntu for Android as that would finally rid me of having a technically unnecessary pc
I use a gesture based OS on my blackberry playbook daily. It is incredibly smooth when done correctly. If Ubuntu does it correctly, then I wouldn't mind having it ported. If it's done badly, then it just wouldn't be worth it.

True, this leads me to believe it won't be as hard as people are thinking to get this to build yes it will involve a lot of work but I'm not thinking its going to be some herculean task.

Working on porting it now actually if git servers ever decide to sync.
I hope it's easy to do. I love android but I've always wanted to try a different operating system. Not gonna make it permanent but it'd be cool to use sometimes. Anyone know if you can back it up with recovery and restore it later? I'll ask over in the nexus 7 forums as well.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
You can if you make a flashable zip. Installing via bootstrapper deletes everything iirc.
Cannocal has already made a flashable zip for the nexus devices. You have to fastboot flash a .img file.

Does it have no signal everywhere? Or does it seem to be localized to one tower? It might be a tmobile tower issue, maybe your getting refarmed.
I have signal now
And it just dropped...
I have another blaze but It was "defective" so I unrooted it ,used triangle away and flashed stock firmware so now it says Samsung official and my tracks are cleared but the replacement won't be here until Thursday and on my other blaze I had signal everywhere! Never dropped under 3 bars on that blaze, and on the current blaze I'm using now i rarely ever get above 2 bars and signal constantly drops

If you put yours in the S4 then the S4 will be active with your phone number. Your dad will have to get his SIM card activated to use on your S3
