Hi guys,
I broke my Flex 2 screen, so I purchased a new digitizer off of ebay and replaced it, following video instructions on youtube. Everything works fine, except GPS doesn't lock in the coordinates any more. It starts, sees satellites, but never locks in position. I rechecked all connectors, everything seems fine. Do you by chance have an idea where it might've gone wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Today I used the iGo8 GPS for a little bit just to get onto the freeway. The phone tends to go to sleep, and when that happens, it loses it's GPS signal. Since I was already on the freeway, I know my way around so I just let my phone sleep.
When I got home, I realized the bottom part of the screen, where you can scroll through home, people, messages, etc. is messed up. That part of the screen keeps flashing. AND the GPS screen got burnt into the screen, like how things burn into Plasma Screen TVs when you leave it there for a long time. But it's not a completely burn on, it is like a ghost affect.
I have soft resetted my phone. Doesn't work.
Anyone knows how to fix this problem?
Thanks.
I can post pictures/video if it will help.
Have you tried running igo again and closing it down properly?
Yeah, I closed igo properly. It's not just burnt in the igo screen new. It changes. Now it's the Today page. I can see the "Phone" and "Camera" buttons burnt into the lower part of the screen.
ROM Issue?
What ROM are you using? I always use EnergyROM and its a great ROM but it always does the same thing... i thought my phone was ruined the first time i saw this, but when i flashed to another ROM it all went away, im not sure if certain ROMs use different video drivers or what, but my problem atleast seems to just be with the ROM.
Good Luck!
use a all-black or all-white image(i think all black is betteR) and keep it on to try to reduce the burn it...
ohhh. I am using EnergyRom as well. I will change roms and see what's up.
the all black image seems to be a good idea.
I have just bought the Xperia M2 (which is a great phone, actually, especially for that price), it immediately updated to KitKat 4.4.4, build 18.3.1.C.0.21. It isn't rooted, plain stock. At most everything seems fine but the compass. It is stuck at around 300 degrees. I tried to calibrate it with the Compass app (make an 8 figure), GPS Status (rotate the phone on its 3 axis) and going into services with *#*#7378423#*#* and then doing another 8 figure (with the phone vertical this time). Nothing, nothing, and nothing again! Compass actually reports that the surrounding magnetic field is too strong (?).
Is it working for anyone else? I would just hate to have to send back the phone. Also because the compass not working is usually a configuration issue, I may just get a new phone with the same exact problem.
I think I've finally found a way to calibrate it. I've put the phone flat on a table after starting the Compass app calibration and I made it spinning like crazy. Obviously I have a back cover that doesn't get scratched, so be careful if you want to try the same.
PS: Mods you can close this if you like.
Hello!
I'm having an issue with my GPS. It works perfectly with network available, I can get fix in the building in few sec, however whenever I'm out of range gps starts to act weird, it sees only a few sat and cannot get a fix, sats despair and aper again and again.
What can be causing that?
I'm on CM12 snapshot - YOG7DAO1K6
I was going crazy with similair problems... I changed the radio several times, cleared the cache, cleaned the simcard, cleared data using gps test, but I was never able to get a gps lock. I could see the satellites, but was unable to lock on. Finally I took apart the phone and saw that one of the golden pins (the top left pin in this picture: https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/XcJUO6RrufdomS6m.huge) had been pressed down behind its hole in the plastic lid and was not in contact with the antennas on the back housing. Must have happened when I previously cleaned the camera lense. I carefully bent it back and I now get instant 3d lock in all apps. So if everything else fails have a look at the golden hardware pins....
Hello Guys,
Recently my Nexus 5 touchscreen got damaged by sweat and stopped responding. After replacing my screen with an ebay one, i have found out that my compass is not working. It is like the sensor is not being detected. Attached a screenshot of the sensors page of CPU-Z. The magnetometer is not shown. This causes some apps. Not having a compass causes some GPS apps to not get a Sat Lock. Any suggestions?
Thx
Maybe the GPS antenna is not making contact properly?

Surprisingly Google Maps does get a location. GPS Test or Runtastic apps cannot get a sat lock / location information. Outer cover is well seated appearing to make good contact. Any other ideas?
Hello XDA
After changing my HU to another XTRONS (PX5, 4GB, Octacore, Android 8, MCU GS 3.00) and installing it in my car i thought that everything was perfect.
I tested before installing it in place, just in case, for more than 1 hour and it was perfect. After that put it in place and well... 2 minutes later it rebooted by itself (ok, that can happen). After it rebooted i proceded to install my GPS app and the maps and testing it. The moment i entered the app (Sygic) the screen went black but sound was still playing normal (radio/music). Took the radio out again and looked to see if the conectors were ok and they were. After rebooting again i installed more apps/games/heavy benchmarks to see if it was a GPU or CPU problem and i couldn't make it happen again for the next hour. So i thought of updating my apps through Play Store since it was everything ok. Started updating google maps, youtube, etc. and in the middle of one of the updates the screen became a flicker fest with white lines horizontaly and a few seconds later black again. This time no radio, no touch, no screen., nothing.
My question is, before sending it back, if that's a problem with temps or maybe another problem? I opened the HU (seller gave me permission because he thought it was the "core board" loose as he stated per email), took the board out and checked again and pressed it pretty good. I also checked the display cables and took them out and in again. Today i drove the entire day without problems but i only used the radio and music app and the i-bus app as i have an E46. Having regrets already because my old Allwinner unit was slow but perfect.
Happened to anyone or does anyone has anything to add? Heres a video of what happened the day i installed the Head unit.
