<ADVICE> GPS Fix (old fix but still works) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

Yesterday, I was out of town and took a wrong turn. I got a little lost and decided to use maps. I couldn't get a lock at all. Opened up GPS STATUS & TOOL to confirm that I couldn't get a lock on any satellites. I rebooted and that didn't solve it either. Luckily, I had a set of precision screwdrivers in the van and used a #0 to tighten all the screws in the inside of the back of my phone. I didn't even power off to do so. After this, I replaced the back cover and opened the app again. INSTANT LOCKS WITH 10FT ACCURACY.

I can't guarantee this will work for you but, it couldn't hurt. I hope this helps someone. Don't blame me if you break stuff. [emoji3]

Do you use GpsFix to facilitate & speed up your gps satellite fixation ?
if the answer is YES so I'm sorry that you have to remove it now.
As the program in its update became a spam, putting an ad on the home screen as reported by users.
But the problem with me was a whole different story, more annoyingly critical.
I'm usually not connected to internet turning off my my mobile data, lately my phone (HTC DESIRE S) became crazy with its screen turning on & off by itself frequently draining my battery in horrible manner.
After days of searching for the cause with removing a lot a lot of programs till i knew the cause (thank god before factory data resetting) that was the GpsFix.
The good thing that every thing works normal again.

Wifi comes and goes. Hardware problem?

So I have two n5 one is white and the other is red. The wifi on the white one works 100% like it is supposed to while the red one the wifi comes and goes. Sometimes it would work but after 5m of usage it would stop working. At first I thought it was the router but after seeing the wifi is working fine on the white n5 I changed my mind. I did everything I could think of. Factory reset, flashed the original images, everything to stock and the problem still persists. I called Google and told me that the phone is still on warranty and offered me an exchange but I have a problem. I have already dropped my phone and I think they won't take it unless I tell them to repair it. Here is the damage. They won't take it right?

Black spots on the back camera ??

Yesterday I found a black spot on the picture that was taken by the back camera and in all apps.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So then I power off and did not touch it, and in the morning the spots have changed direction.
I tried to shaking the phone but it does not change anymore. = =
**I used a lens protector all the time, but when removed it the problem still exists.
Does anyone know what that cause is ??
How do I solve this problem or RMA is the only way ? :crying:
Help me please.

That sucks dude, honestly the only way to fix that is to RMA your device, and I definitely would. I've seen a lot of pointless RMA's being discussed here at XDA, but if my camera had any type of problem I would send the phone back.

S-Pen screen issues

I recently noticed that part of my screen for the S-Pen isn't working. Just wanted to see if anyone had trouble with it or for those who felt something was wrong but couldn't put their finger on it. It'll register your finger presses but will not do so with any S-Pen function in that specific area.

Try diagnostic *#0*#
Ran the test and now it works. If it pops up again going to do an exchange. Thanks for showing that diagnostic tool

Ok it came back and I believe I found the real culprit. That's a magnet and it coincide with where I was having trouble with the screen.

Glad you found the culprit. Had the same issue with the magnet on my folio case causing a dead spot. Annoying, but thankful it's not an actual issue with the phone. Time for a new case.

[HELP] Hardware Problem, Black Screen doesn't Respond

Hi everyone! I have a problem probably that is hard to solve. I want advices if you have any.
Problem:
-Screen is full black, nothing at all. Backlight works time to time.
-Phone works. Boots without problem.
-I tried to replace screen but it didn't help.
It feels like, screen just doesn't get the energy from battery or something like that. I guess the problem derives from those pins (look at the image). I picked the image from net. In my phone pins are a bit crushed. I can add a image of my phone tomorrow if it means anything.
Is there anyway to fix only that part?
I'm open to any suggestion since the phone is not usable anymore. I don't want to throw away my Nexus. Thank you.
