RE: GPS can't lock properly
Good day all, i'm not sure if you guys have this problem, but after updating from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 i find that my GPS lock is not stable and always loses lock every few seconds to minutes or so. i am on the latest firmware and tried installing other countries' firmwares as well, but still can't get a stable lock.
My region is in Malaysia, i tried the France, UAE, Malaysia ROMs but still can't get it to lock properly, but the differences between these ROMs aren't the same, i travelled the same area using waze, for example, on Road A, France and UAE versions were able to lock without any problems but for the Malaysia ROM, the lock wasn't stable.
This is a vice versa, Road B may get a stable lock using Malaysian Firmware but not on France and UAE firmware.
Anyone having this issue/fix?
Hi, I have same problem. I havean Spanish Galaxy S6 with stock 5.0.2 and I cannot connect with any satellite, or if I can, it disconnects seconds later.
I tried a lot of apps to test the GPS, and I think that the problem is a faulty antenna, because I tried with another S6 side to side and it works perfectly.
I don't know how to proceed!!!
Flash this updated stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin.

I have the Vodafone Spain version, can I flash this ROM anyway?

I tried bringing the phone in for RMA, they changed my phone's rear casing (the metal bezel on the phone) but i still have this problem. i tried the XEF version that Roydok mentioned too. But it still doesn't work as intended.

I worry it might cause my software to not function properly. But mainly it's the modem/baseband that's the issue. or so i think.

If it's anything like mine, you'll find it all works fine again for another 3 - 5 days, then you'll be forced to pull out/re-insert the sim again.
I had randowm dropouts after OTS.
I restored to factory 4.3, cancelled the OTA then flashed CWM and installed a 4.4 rom that way.

Does that mean the XT1033's sold in Brazil and India the same... I may give this firmware a try... but i haven't seen any signal drops in the past 30 hours..if signal drops again.. I would give it a try...
BTW Nice to see such people always ready to help... Thanks quizmaniac and mokkami..
Not sure if Indian and Brazil firmware are the same.
At least the firmware versions are not the same.
Sure is that there is a separate firmware for Brazil.

How to resolve WiFi issue
The reason why WIFI may not work is because sometimes modems don't stick on the first flash. The solution for you is to Odin twice to make sure modems stick.

Which network are you on? I am on Vodafone and updates get pushed out super quick compared to the likes of EE who take an eternity.
Also mine was Vodafone branded but debranded it by flashing XEU so maybe you can try that?
Mine is unbranded (bought from Samsung Online store) and I'm on O2 network.
Do I need to flash another firmware to get updates more quickly?
I thought on an unbranded phone the carrier was irrelevant when it comes to updates. Maybe I was wrong?
I'm on BTU as well and I have nothing either.
EE carrier but my phone is unbranded from Samsung too.

I had the same thing when I had a S6 unbranded it took forever to get updates on BTU sometimes it was way after the carrier updates.
Not sure if you can go BTU to XEU but no harm in trying as it does not require a wipe of the phone.
**EDIT**
Another way is use samsung smart switch to see if there is an update using that.

The steps are to flash the unlocked S8+ firmware to your sprint device. The unlocked S8+ firmware has no bloat. You can always reinstall the sprint firmware back when you are returning your device (I think it's as easy as that)

No it's not... I'm sure you have to but unlocked firmware is AQH3 and for you to get to beta I'm sure you needed to move to the most recent update. It could work it could not. I'm sure the modified Odin will work but again could be wrong.

I'm curious did everything work out
Hello guys,
Long story short, I bought an S8 plus at the beginning of this year, carrier-unlocked it (it used to be on Vodafone Romania) and everything went good (I didn't root it because I didn't feel the need to do it) but the only issue is that I have stopped receiving any software updates (still on Android 8).
My question is, given the fact that my current firmware is the Vodafone carrier one and CNX(Vodafone Romania) CSC even though my phone got carrier-unlocked, will there be a problem if I flash a Romania carrier-free official firmware from sammobile?
I tried asking this in different threads but no answer so far.
Thanks!

if its the G9##F model, and the recovery is stock, you will still receive updates as planned from whatever firmware version you flashed and your IMEI. Also, i have seen many people with similar issues across several Sammy devices in the recent past and honestly, the best solution is to download the firmware yourself and force it on. It takes a grand total of like 20 min provided you have a decent internet connection. Get the Frija firmware download tool here and get whatever version you need in 1/10th the time it would take if downloading from sammobile.com/firmwares directly.
just d/l it yourself and flash it manually

you may have a phone that has been repaired then. the 950f firmware will not work on a 950u or any of its snapdragon brethren. If you are absolutely certain that youre running U firmware, then just stick with that and manually update with the HOME_CSC every once in a while.

yes, I believe this is the G960U firmware, if I pay attention to the serial number of this Firmarr as the G950U firmware which is changed by "U" to "F" AP G950FSQU2CRB9 CP G950FSQU2CRB9 CSC G950f0YN2BRB9

the thing is tho, the U vs the F usually signifies the difference between a Snapdragon vs Exynos processor, which arent cross compatible when it comes to firmware

yes that's also what I think, but when connected to this PC detected snapcomagon qualcom, not exinos, then I wonder how this phone can display the F firmware version, is it possible to replace the csc because this phone is detected TGY

yes, you can easily flash CSC's, but you probably dont need to.

the U variants are the carrier branded versions and have apps baked into the firmware that are not uninstallable and have their own respective CSC, the U1 variants are non branded, unlocked versions that arent encumbered by carrier crapware

the U1 versions should not have any carrier apps on them natively. I have heard of phones still having the old apps on them after a reflash tho. Do you need the t-mob app or no?
