Broken GPS : have tried all "fixes". Help my ass!! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

GPS will not work, like, at all...
Tried the fix where you back out/tighten case screws, no improvement.
Tried third party apps claiming "GPS" fix for Galaxy3, no luck either...
At the end of my rope with this thing. Anyone have aaaany suggestions??? (I will love you forever...)

This phone was an insurance replacement phone, came with 4.3 loaded (sigh...) I have my suspicions that Assurion replaces insurance-claim phones with faulty pieces of shat...just a theory though...
I have already tried to re-flash the rom with no luck. Ill try to uninstall and reinstall maps app. Not very optimistic though, lol

Lol.. Ppl had problems with Google play. Uninstall and reinstall was a quick fix. Unless u need an older version of maps

i had the same issue, i fixed it by replacing "gps.*** " ummm, i dont exactly remember the name of file or the exact path, but you should be able to find it in system partition.
somewhere on these forums there is a list of different gps files for almost every country, find and download the one for your country or neighbor country.
just google for "replace gps file for fixing gps on android"
and find it
goodluck

[Q] Google playstore crash

I have a galaxy tab 7 inch 3100.
As i live in China this is where i bought it. However here it does not come with playstore, just a really limited Samsung apps. I loaded a version from Anzhi but it crashes almost instantly - screen comes up then straight down again. I've tried some other versions, cache clearing and factory resets but to no avail. As such i can not really get hold of any useful apps (anzhi is chinese and i am not).
Anyone got any ideas on how to get playstore working?
Thanks

I always wondered if that would work. I had a trio stealth that didin't come with Google play, just amazon. I ended up flashing cm 9( this was about a year ago). I ended up bricking it when I tried flashing a firmware with a big enough system partition for cm 10 to fit. A wrong touch screen driver got flashed and none of the fixes would work. Anyways, I often think back that maybe I should of tried just flashing gapps. Anyways..... lol

I meant on the firmware that came with the tab, I flashed a custom ROM a few actually until I bricked it. Yeah gapps worked with the custom ROMs, but never tried on any official firmware. Like the op I tried various apk s, with no luck. On the bright side, I learned a lot by experimenting on that cheap tab. Lol... note: don't by anything from mach speed tech.

New Jellybean Update

Hey guys. So my family members and I all have the same phone type, the AT&T skyrocket. Now, I use custom roms so this shouldnt matter to me, but my other family members arent getting the update OTA. Is the update only obtainable with Kies or is there just a problem between the AT&T server and their phones?

Uh I wouldn't want to grab that thing ota. Way to much to go wrong especially battery issues. If some moron decides oh hey yeah lemme DL this with what battery I have left over my 4g network. Dudes battery drains over the course the phone reboots to try and install said update phone dies and bricks. Kies ensures that A. You have a good download of the update package and B. Since you are connected you have juice to update the phone. This is CYA stuff not an oversight. I've seen tons of noobs on plenty of phones "the ota bricked my phone".

Not sure what are the differences between AT&T and Rogers but with Rogers I got my last 2 updates ota. I may be a newb but I'm not stupid so I made sure I had enough battery before proceeding
But it does not matter anymore now that I use custom ROMs.
So ota depends on Samsung and not the carrier?

I believe I read somewhere Samsung makes the update and the carrier determines whether to roll it out in your area.. working deals with Sammy...but don't quote me on that.If you do a search... that would be interesting to know for sure

Yeah I know that the carrier controls whether an update will be released or not. They have to put all their bloatware and test it!
I was asking for the OTA vs Kies part. I thought that Since ICS (4.0), everything was available from OTA. But I think that you can always choose to update via Kies. I did not know that an update could only be released via Kies (disabling OTA). Not sure either.
Anyways! As I said, for me, not important anymore!!

I was able to check for start downloading the OTA from AT&T after already getting it on kies by reflashing to stock ICS. I stopped the OTA though because I wanted to redownload it in Kies to get the tar from the temp file for backup. The funny thing is that I had to do it twice because I messed up trying to find the file before it disappeared. It disappears after flashing is complete so you have to reflash ICS and do it again. Or u can take the easy way and download it off the web...but where's the fun in that?

Well since it's not important, I would guess, your data provider haha. Just going from Kies showing my number along with model number, I would assume they checked if I had service alongside checking my SIM card. Maybe check without a SIM and see what happens?

Instead of making a new thread every 6 hours maybe you should start one thread for all of your issues.
To help you..you need to help us. What ROM are you using? What version of that ROM? What recovery did you use to flash? This might help you to get the answer you are looking for with just a little more info.

How did you flash? Custom recovery or Odin? For the limited time that I was on stock JB 4.1.2 I did not have the issues you are. Best bet would be to backup all your files to a computer and Odin back to stock. That usually sorts out alot of issues.

Weird stucks on 4.1.2

Ever since I uploaded from 4.0.3 ICS my phone has been getting "stuck"... The screen gets crazy if I touch it, the other buttons won't respond. The only way I seem to fix it for like 2 minutes is by locking it and unlocking it... When I bough it, it came with 4.0.3... Since then I moved from ROM to ROM...
4.0.3=>4.1.2
4.1.2=>4.2 Cyanogenmod
4.2=>4.1.2
4.1.2=>4.0.4
4.0.4=>4.3.1 BeanStalk
4.3.1 BeanStalk=>4.3 PAC
4.3 PAC=>4.3.1 BeanStalk
4.3.1 BeanStalk=>4.1.2
I left cyanogenmod because I didn't liked the look of my phone and because I wasn't able to play some of my favorite games.
I left BeanStalk because the camera.app kept crashing and forcing reboot.
I left PAC because the keyboard wouldn't show up and I wasn't able to finish the set up.
I left 4.0.4 because some apps were too new for it.
On 4.1.2 I get a lot of times stuck, but in other ROMs (even on Stock 4.0.4) the frequency of stucks were less...
I'm sorry for my awful english. I am from Argentina.
I'm really freaking out because each day my cellphone gets stuck even more!

Oh sorry I didn't understood before. Maybe it's screwed but the thing is that in BeanStalk it didn't got stuck but I wasn't able to use the camera. Also it didn't got stuck in PAC but the keyboard wouldn't show up and display error messages all the time. I might go back to 4.0.4 since it works better than 4.1.2 (in my case).

Move all your files(pics,movies,music etc) to your computer. Format everything and try Odin again. Make it like the phone was new right out of the box never used. Troubleshoot from there.

Thanks!! So far my phone is working perfectly! I'm going to download my old apps one-by-one to see which doesn't work or could cause a problem.

I think it's cache/data from previous rom that was causing your full "stuck".

You think it's clean I'll bet there are some artifacts, also I'm doubting you format your SD cards.

I'm confused what you're asking, ask your question clearly. To me it just sounds like you're complaining.

You didn't update? so your not on a locked bootloader? Also you should beable to boot from stock slot unless you did somthing to it. I don't think anyone is working on it because I think you may be the first to have this problem.
Come to think of it, I'm not seeing your name in the Safestrap thread Harley. At least not from the last three weeks. If you have been trouble with Safestrap loading roms, there's no post from you about in that thread:

He posted in the casual thread, not the safestrap thread. He seems to be the only one not able to flash 4.3 TW ROMs through safestrap. He needs to calm down and explain exactly what steps he is taking when trying to flash a ROM through safestrap and plenty of people here who will help him. Also, he may get more and better help by posting in the safestrap thread.

I received the phone with the 4.3 update. Im rooted. Ive got safestrap. Ive gotta stock slot and its fine. Its the others I cant get to take a rom. It took one once. But it sucked. Random shutdowns. Lag. FCs. All kinda crap. So heres the steps. DL rom. Create rom slot. Flash rom. It reboots and gets past the recovery/continue page then goes black. Thats it.
