[Q] Gps not working - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I made this post because I hope someone can help me out.
I rooted my Nexus 5 to give "Fake GPS" admin rights because I needed to do something with it.
Once im done, I uninstalled fakegps, but my GPS is still not working. It constantly try to find out my position, without managing it, even with enabled wi-fi. I would like to avoid flashing a ROM again. Thanks to everyone who reply this!

Similar issue with WiFi can be fixed with the following:
1. Delete /data/misc/wifi and /data/misc/dhcp
2. Reboot
Give it a try.

Still not working, it endlessly looks for my position without getting it :/

[Apk][Beta] Root Call Blocker - need testers!

Hello guys, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
The app is currently in open beta here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
I dont have a nexus one and need testers urgently!
I tried this and it works great. No problems installing, may need some kind of setup guide, but the help was good. If you want to ask for more details gtalk me webluke @ Webluke.net
Sent from my Nexus One
We dont use gtalk im afraid, so i would be greatful if you could just post here or PM me!
We now have additional reject methods (a prep build is on itrs way in an hour or so and i would like to know if peoples routing troubles are solved.
There will be 2 new reject methods!
Updated, let me know if your issues are fixed please!
tested
heyy I used it for a while on my nexus one and found that it worked perfectly. But, the main problem is it reduced my cell phone reception badly. I was unable to get good 3g signals. It kept switching to edge. If this problem is rectified it would awesome!
Im not sure if this was RCB at fault... its not an issue we hear about. Did you ever actually send any logs?
The app does not interfere with the phones connectivity. It only drops network once at first run and thats all.
Hi, the latest update is working flawlessly!
Guys, test please today update. It's looks like more stable!
nope sorry if it was a false alarm i did not send in any logs and but i found that problem on my phone. I tried it out twice and the same thing happened in both the cases. But, the call blocking feature is working perfectly. I am running rod's miuimod 3.3.3 version.
Good to hear... please leave a nice comment on the market!
Awesome!!
Tried it again, just now. Looks like the problem's been fixed. Its great!!! no signal drop nothing.
Im glad to have helped! Please, leave a nice comment on the market to that effect
I already did

Thanks, always good to be appreciated!
superb kudos
Thanks, please leave a nice comment on the market, or get the donate version
Hi guys, any feedback on the latest version of the app? We are just about to release an update...
only issue I see now is that when i restart my phone, the program doesn't seem to start automatically like it should.
The first call that I receive, the signal drops (I can't answer the call) and then it seems the program starts up... and the prompt "program has been granted superuser permissions" or whatever comes up.
I can avoid this by opening the program manually after restarting the phone... but doesn't this defeat the purpose of setting the program to start up on it's own when the phone is restarted?

Shouldnt be happening. Send a log. Use "write to developer" in settings. If you dont write a description, i will ignore the letter.

[Q] "My Location"... I Agreed already, now go away!!

Is it just me, or is everyone having to [Agree] to the onerous "My Location" warning EVERY TIME GPS is enabled? Please, someone help make it stop!
I have root access, am running ED2 (Debloated 4.1)....
Thanks,
Larry
Same problem and something I want to try and fix then.
I thought this was just me but that is another IFT thing about this phone.
I concur... This has been annoying the hell out of me since my automation of GPS by using the Tasker app. Would be great if it could be removed.

Wi-Fi turning off when screen is off CM9

This problem has been happening with any ROM I have, it has only started to happen recently, my Wi-Fi used to work flawlessley untill I changed ROM's, updated it's firmware etc etc. Would anyone know of a possible fix to fix this issue? Because it's really bugging me! I have Wi-Fi set to never sleep, and always be on... What am I doing wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Regards,
Dave.
Hi Dave,
Don't expect much from my solution since I am still a noob but this once happened to my device and I installed WiFi Lock from Google Play and enable it. It fixed the issue for me. Hope it will also fix yours.

Thanks for your reply! I've tried what you suggested and sadly didn't work, I did find an app that forces high performance on my phone and that seems to fix the problem though I don't want my phone running Wi-Fi at max power... What happens with the app you suggested, it keeps the Wi-Fi signal, but transferring stops... Weird huh... With the High Performance Widget this doesn't happen. With sense based ROMs the Wi-Fi is working perfectly though.

Just a little bump

Hi,
Check your WiFi policy in Settings, there's an option for this.

[Completed] [Q] Wifi goes off after unlocking device

Hi,
Since a few days, I'm having a strange wifi issue on my Xperia SP (Android 4.3 from Sony).
When I switch on my mobile phone screen, the wifi start, I can see the icon. When I unlock my phone, a few seconds after, the wifi goes off.
I have to manually switch off and on wifi if I want to use it.
I have posted a video explaining what I see, but I'm new to xda, so I can't post the link.
youtu.be/B6mnKKjOnoE
I have done a soft reset, remove many unused apps, and delete some app stored data.
How can I find which application is accessing wifi in order to solve this issue?
Maybe someone had any idea to help me.
Thanks guys.
Edit: Things went back to normal, I haven't done anything more to solve this issue. Probably some magics... Please close this question. Thanks

[Completed] [q] screen standby app - please help!

Hi all,
Having some real trouble with this app, for some reason it will not work on my rooted nexus 10. I'd really love to use it to get my screen to turn off when connected to hdmi.
I've selected the settings to deactivate the screen when connected to HDMI but nothing seems to happen. If anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated, I've already tried to contact the developer with no luck. I've already double checked my device is rooted so that doesn't seem to be the issue. It does have a "debugging" function, maybe that would help providing information on whats going on?
Otherwise it seems to be a great app which I would love to get working.
Cheers,
Tom
