Good evening to all.
I am Brand New to this forum and still do not know my way around, so I hope no one berates me for asking a question that belongs somewhere else or has already been covered somewhere. I could not find an answer. I will learn.
I have referenced XDA to find several answers in the past.
My Tab 4's GPS no longer locates satellites. Yes, Location is enabled. I have installed and worked with two different programs, both called "GPS Status", and an app called "Faster GPS" which promised to solve all of my GPS problems - but did not. I have enabled the use of wifi info to "help" with location, but it does not help. My Tab 4 is rooted but I don't mess with it too much at all. The last time I know that my GPS worked was on a flight from Houston TX to Knoxville TN this past March and it worked fine. It has not worked since then.
I have spent hours now trying to find support for this issue and it seems I am the only one who can't figure it out. Hope someone can help. Thank you.

I bought my NEC Terrain from Arad Systems on Amazon as a network unlocked device in "Used - Like New" condition. However, I've been noticing some issues since my purchase. First of all, my battery life is trash. 4 hours at most from this device - even with the screen off. I tried doing a wakelock detection but it didn't help much. Also, WiFi seems to be buggy. It will randomly disconnect from the network sometimes, and other times it just won't be able to connect to a specified WiFi network at all. Rebooting seems to temporarily fix the problem.
Can anyone give me some insight on how to solve any of these issues? Perhaps I just bought a defective device?
EDIT: Forgot to mention, but also I've noticed that sometimes my screen will "flicker" (the brightness will rapidly go slightly lower and reset to normal on its own) if I do things like scroll on a webpage or view videos.

Hi there,
I'm sorry but I can't find anything related to your question/device except this rooting thread: [Q] Unlocking of NEC Terrain SIM/Root
Please post that in the forum bellow for more answers from the experts (you are already Senior Member and I suppose you know how things works, right?):
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck
Will move thread to Q&A. Wasn't clear on the differeence between "assist" and "q&a/troubleshooting", so I just put it here.

Hi there, ive been having problems with my three network and with data, my current tariff is unlimited data, i usually get around 5mbs at home but as of last night i only get .02mbs, ive phoned three up and i followed some steps without fixing the problem, the women said there was nothing wrong with my mast, she then transferred me to lvl2 technical support, he ran through the same steps and then said there was a problem with the mast and that technicians are working on a problem and that it will be fixed exactly 1 month later (13/06/2015). weird why did the previous tech see that??? he explained a bit but i changed the subject a bit but he then told me that he's going to get lvl 3 techs to look into the problem (weird again i thought it was the mast?) what can techs do about physical works on the equipment, anyway my question is, is there anyway to see faults with my local masts with the three network, im unable to find any on there website, or is there something on my phone i could try fix the problem? any help will be great thanks!
sorry if ive posted in the wrong place
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I don't know. The only thing I can suggest is to check in your device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4

Hello all, I'm having a weird networking issue that is only affecting one of my android devices, It's a brand new cube i7 remix running android 4.4
I noticed my android device drops it's network connectivity. It stays connected to my router but it drops connectivity then reconnects but does it all over again. it does this every 2-4 minutes. I viewed this in the wifi fixer app i downloaded.
now whats weird is i was using the tablet at a friends house and it was fine but when i came home i noticed this happening, i also checked it using my karma hot spot and everything was fine. only when i connect to my home network does this happen.
I honestly don't know how to trouble shoot this, i rebooted my router, i changed the dns. nothing. I could really use some help. thank you

Oh thank you very much, i should have read the description better. i'll try the section you specified. thank you again.
I am having a very weird issue. I have 6 android devices note 3, note 10.1 2014 (2), note 4, Tab S, S4, and HTC Desire. Some devices are rooted and some not. Some are WiFi only and some are LTE devices. On all of them, Google maps gets stuck on "searching for GPS", irrespective of location (indoor, outdoor, different zip code).
I have tried everything from clearing cache for apps to factory resets.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you. I will post on the Q&A forum. I have gone through pretty much all the device specific threads.
A few weeks ago my Note 2 hard bricked itself, or I might as well say, it died.
Anyway, I bought a motherboard off eBay and installed it. Everything seems to work perfectly except for my Sky Map app, or any similar app. It's supposed to give ma real time view of what's in the sky. The apps load as usual, but when I point it at the sky nothing changes. Whatever star or view was on the screen when it loaded stays there no matter which way the phone moves. I always used Google Sky before the motherboard replacement. I first suspected the GPS, but Google Maps and a speedometer app work ok. I downloaded a GPS test app, and it shows everything is working. Does anybody know what's wrong with it?
