[Q] All apk that require location not working nexus 5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I am in a dilemma guys.... my nexus 5 is fully updated to 4.4.2 and i got it from the retailer already updated to 4.4.2.
Now, the problem is that any apk e.g. youtube, maps etc. that require my location aint functioning at all.
YOUTUBE CANT EVEN SIGN ME IN DAMN IT!!!.....
Also when i click any clip to watch, it just keeps on loading for ever and never plays JACK!!!
I am so frustrated & i am sure others have the same problem.
Btw, i am right now, located in kuwait wich is a country in the middle east (for those who would like to know).
LTE is fully functional, supported & working just fine because i have the international variant.
On a side note: i rooted my device and installed cwm but the problem persisted from the initial device boot up.
Questions:
A: Could someone help me pls??
B: Would downgrading my 4.4.2 to 4.4 or flashing a custom rom fix the issue??

fixed the problem with cm11 but google now not working

hey guys i managed to fix the problem by flashing cm11 but i cant get the google now to work with my voice..... is there something i can do to fix this ? my cm version is based on 4.4... should i wait for the stable 4.4.2 version?

Is google supported or allowed in your country? If location is disabled then you wont get those things.

[Completed] [Q] need help note 3 (SM-N9005)

hi there,
i have a SM-9005( Australian Telstra) which i bought used a couple of weeks/ about a month ago. NOT KNOWING WHAT I WAS DOING i tried to install android 5.0 via odin but, the thing that i did'nt realise was that it was the hong kong firmware after installing it i encountered a problem something like " binary (number) < (number) i figured that it was because when i decided to install it the storage was about 95% full and it only had like 300mb left so i just went into recovery and restored the phone. after successfully installing 5.0 i noticed that the phone was starting to be glitchy as in system would'nt respond (lag) no sound and camera and mic and calling wouldn't work. so i decided it was best to just roll back to the old os 4.4.2 and thats what i did. after doing so i realised that the same problems were still there "no in/outgoing call, no sound, no Google Now, no S-Voice, no camera, slow lock screen and slow settings" after trying to research and not finding anything that would help me ( mainly as my phone is Australian variant) i decided to install a custom rom Cyanogenmod, although this fixed the camera the other problem were still there and after trying to even restore from a nandroid backup via twrp recovery the problem has still not been resolved and well....:crying:

[Completed] Cannot get LTE/Cell service on 5.1 Lollipop GPE on SPH0L720

I have a Sprint SPH-L720 and have installed the Lollipop GPE edition located here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-5-0google-play-edition-lrx219-12-24-t2982384
After searching forever I can't find a modem that actually works with my phone. I do not get any cell service and the LTE doesn't work either. WIFI works fine but that it is. I try to input the APN manually but it still never connects to anything.
I've put other ROMs on my phone but I really want GPE since it has exactly what I want... All the others work fine with LTE/cell service but some have issues with WIFI or other features missing. I've fairly new to this so please excuse my ignorance.
Please help!!
It seems to be an issue with the latest builds. I ended up finding a build of GPE from 1/23/15 and I was able to get it working. This version has an option to change the service type between CDMA/LTE, CDMA/EVDO, etc. The newer version does not.
See edit reason for link to working ROM (doesn't let me post here since I'm new).
After installing this version and setting it up, everything seemed to work. But then (stupid me) installed an OTA update, not a Google update, but from the OTA Updates in the custom build. It ended up breaking my cell service again and not giving me the option to change the service type.
So it appears the newer builds don't seem to work with my SPH-L720 Sprint S4. The older one works fine, but any build from the last month or so is broken.
I reflashed back to the old version and just ignore any updates for now. Works great. Just wish I could get the latest version.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113

As in the title states I have the galaxy tab 2 7.0 and recently I installed CWM and a ROM and everything looked like it went right however after I reloaded my tablet nothing seems different it jus seems to return to stock setting and now I cant do the OTA software update which means now certain apps and games I can no longer uses as it says my device isnt compatible. My goal was to simple update from Jellybean to at Least Kitkat.
Can someone help me. where did I go wrong?

Well after a short research I found a ROM called Resurrection Remix, loaded with 5.0.2 (or Lollipop) however now everything is force closing and I barely got my laptop to see it as MTP again after installing a new Binary (glad that did that trick for that) but I cant get it to boot into CWM Recovery bc I cant access the app the only thing it will let me do right now is change the Binary.
How can I fix this issue?
Edit: Okay so I got that solved with doing a factory reset twice, booted in CWM, loaded up the GApps. Now just wondering if there is away to make it not seen with phone options like the dialer or msgs as its jus a plan old tablet, doesnt take a sim card and has no carrier. I do have the source code but I am not tweaking that til I get a better understanding of it.
After a lot of research and tries (amazingly without bricking) I am now running an even newer version of a CM 13 Marshmellow

wifi problem

hi
up until yesterday my s7 edge was working fine on latest stock rom rooted, then randomly the wifi speed went way down to the point that it doesnt load most images if browsing play store, facebook etc.
at this point i put it down to possibly something went wrong with the root so i re-flashed stock rom via odin which obviously got rid of root. still same issue.
if i use my 4g no problem at all. i know it is not the router as i have done a reboot also my other devices work no problem.
i did do a google search and it shows many s7 users have this problem ever since they pushed the update to 8.0 oreo but i still find this weird as its been working fine for sometime.
any ideas?

Is this happening on any WiFi connection or just home?

Am i the only one that cant use roms (without google) obove android 7.0?

Hello
I am searching for a de-googled rom that has none of the following problems.
- Echo in calls for caller
- No sound during phone calls (i had this problem with my last rom which was cdroid)
- random disconnecting wifi and bt
- very bad battery life
- ussd codes dont work in any of them but i was to understand that had something to do with the missing samsung dialer app.
I have tried almost every single rom available and they all have at least the echo and wifi problems.
How is it possible that they all have that? The only roms that dont have it are roms below 7.0.1 and they are either not aosp or the links are dead.
I have finally flashed back to the latest stock rom and all the issues went away but now my phone is infected with google and bloat again.
Im on G920FXXS6ETI6 firmware now with PHN region
Are there any roms out there that work?
Or ami doing something wrong? I always follow the instructions that come with the roms so i asume what im doing is right.
Anyone else have these problems?
I fixed the issue by getting a pixel 3a and installing grapheneOS on is.
It runs like a charm and has none of the problems i had.
Thanks for info. I have been battling too.
