GPS Fix?

Hello,
I have a problem with my galaxy s6, It can't find a gps signal. I have used google maps to test it but it doesn't work. When I have bought my phone it was working perfect but since I have rooted my phone and installed a custom rom the gps is broken. I use the XtreStoLite rom.
Can anyone help me?

Go to Settings-Privacy and Safety-Location-Locating Method. Choose GPS, wifi and mobile network.

I have this problem too, but let me explain my situation. I have two Galaxy S6s.
1st non-root phone had this issue of GPS not being able to hold on fix. i used many different firmwares ranging from UK, UAE, France and Malaysia OFFICIAL FIRMWARES but they still didn't help iron out the issue. I then used smart switch to restore back to official ROM for my phone (Malaysia). I put the phone into download mode, used Smart Switch PC, selected emergency firmware recovery and installation, input my device number and serial number, then downloaded the ROM back into my phone, then after a week or so, my phone was back to normal (good GPS lock). I suspect it's the Baseband/modem issue (Every country has it's own baseband to work perfectly in)
2nd rooted phone on XstreStoLite V2.2. I realize that this phone also had the problem. but i still cannot fathom what is the problem. Could be the baseband that's not localized. But anyhow i use my non-rooted phone for GPS navigation. Could be you need to use it more often for it to run in first.

I have this problem too did you find a solution? I'm on xtrestolite 2.2 too

i believe the modem and bootloader affects the GPS because it's how your phone connects to the network. I have just tried the COH2 firmware on my non-rooted phone, and the GPS works like a charm!

I will try COH2 but I'm from Portugal and firmware COH2 is France. No problem? Whats your bootloader and modem?

I strongly suggest you wait for the COH2 ROM first, if you still think you GPS antenna has a defect, you can change your rear case at Samsung Service Centre (Which i did with my phone)

Same problem as u. but found solution
Try this out. Stupid as hell but worked for me
I got the same problem but after looking for 5 hours. I just ah what a hell. I removed my aluminium cover. Observe its cut out for the gps antenna and main antenna in the back. And voila. Gps test found 28 sattelites and locked right away. Then put the cover back on. NOTHING. So it seems some covers disturb the antennas. But i still feel its strange as the cut out in back. So perhaps it still disturbs it when something is next to it. Let me know if it worked for u too. To remove your cover. Best regards from sweden.

Hello my friend, I don't have any cover in my phone. Is GPS defect for sure.

Sorry for some reason couldn't find play on afh so in pure devices I placed the file there instead

Installed it but I can not get my Mobile Connection to work. I have a XT1562, Single Sim version modded to Dual Sim. Even after making neccesary changes to build.prop I still can not get a connection.
Looks promising though, but I had to revert to my CM ROM for now. I'd be happy to do some more tests later on.

How do you mean modded can you try without the mod to see if works if does I can release and then start working on sorting out issue

Look in this Thread for details... http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/dual-sim-single-sim-t3194533
No for now I'm not willing to undo this mod, but your ROM should support Dual Sim as this phone exists in a Dual Sim version as well.

I don't know I'm using PAC sources so if there rom doesn't support the mod then mine won't I'll need someone with the actually dualsim device so not the device with mod on to test

Custom roms does't allow that codes, neither on previous Galaxy S models, not only S6.

i haven't heard anyone saying this in the custom rom's threads and i thought i'm having some special issue... but if it's like you're saying i should flash the stock firmware and the codes work ?

That's your choice... If you don't need those codes and everything else is ok, I wouldn't or maybe I would just for ask the technician his opinion...

The phone works fine. Just the codes.

hi guys! i have different problem with secret codes. on my S6 and S7 *#06# works fine, but other codes doesn't work. even when i made my app - my code doesn't work too. but when i had installed program from play market 'secret codes' and founded MY code in this app - select on them - my code works fine. i think problem in service listener or on phone caller application.
sorry for my bad english)

In the New Firmware it doesn't work. Try to downgrade your Firnware with Odin. And then the Codes will be working.
Regads: Gamer864443

Touchwiz doesn't allow those codes. To get to that stuff download "Hidden android settings" from the app store.

Greetings again, I have flashed by Flashtool the factory version of android 4.4.4 and nothing, I have mounted lollilop 5.1 and 6.0.1 and the problem persists .. What I find strange is that when I turn on the phone the fault does not appear , Only when I enter the android desktop ... I am thinking of unlocking the Bootloader because some suggest that it may be the Kernel ... Do you know anything about it ?.

Hi! The last chance is to flash a custom kernels for your model. If this won't help, then I have no idea how to fix it. Maybe it's hardware problem?

Well, in any case I appreciate your help and I hope some other member gives us a hand with this theme

big issue: Google services unable to connect

I have bought OnePlus 7 pro [12/256] in China and it seems like they removed all Google's apps except for G services and Pay.
Even after installing updated versions of the Store and Services, I still cannot connect to the G servers [yes I am still in China and I am using VPN Express to connect]
What should I do?
I tried to flash phone with the international ROM, but it won't aloud it as Chinese ROM is a higher version...
Please help :crying:

Partial solution
You can change Oxygen to Hydrogen Global version to remove Google Services block
[simply by downloading global version from the OP website and installing it through the local upgrade],
but it comes with the price:
Text Messages are not graphical anymore
No Spam/Advert calls warnings
There's no access to the OP Market which is quite essential if you're in China
So it seems like there is no way to have everything from the both words in one phone...?
