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?

What's up? I don't know if everyone have this problem. When i had my atrix2 with the default ICS, the GPS was working perfectly. It was able to find satellites in less than 10 sec onds and also it could connect to all of them. Then i decided to install the 4.2.2 ROM and the problems began. the GPS could find the satellites but once it finds them, it takes 2min to connect to half of themI started looking in forums about a way to fix this problem and found some guides that give the same solution: change the gps.conf values or replace the gps_driver file and enable its permissions but those things haven't solved the problem.
When i flash my cellphone using the RSD to the ICS again, the GPS works normally. I think the problem doesn't come from the gps.conf values because the original ICS just shows NTP_SERVER=pool.ntp.org and it works fine.
Has anybody experienced something similar? I prefer to use the 4.2.2 roms but I use the GPS a lot.
I'd appreciate if anyone can give me a solution.
Thanks.
please some help here!

I've searched around the forum and nothing. For this reason I created a new topic with my particular case
gps status and fix
its common issue. If you did go through the forums properly there is a simple app called gps status and fix available on playstore for free. That did work for most of them and me then why not you?

Nothing? A less than 30 second search turned up this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229363
Also, which ROM are you on? You'll need to thoroughly read the op of which ever ROM you're on because many have known issues and if I'm not mistaken GPS is one of them.

thanks for ur time
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.
Hi there,
The best place for this device specific question is here:
Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck
Hey guys!
Long story short, dropped my phone by accident, screen cracked, ordered a display + touchscreen, took it to a phone service, got it installed, works like a charm. Except..
The touchscreen is a little bit inaccurate. Not to the point where it's impossible to use the phone, I just need to tap above everything, just a little bit.
(I used an app called "Touch Accuracy", here's a picture of how inaccurate the screen is: https://dl2.pushbulletusercontent.c...VfSrJps5Ct/Screenshot_2016-09-19-16-17-44.png)
My question is, is there any way, or an app to sort of fix this issue? I found a few on the Play Store, but none of them helped.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
This is not a Q&A forum. It is more to guide NEW users to the best place on the site for their problem .
Please read the OPENING THREAD and the Second one , too.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Hi all,
I wasn't sure whether to post this here as I'm not sure whether it's specific to my device but here goes...
My TF201 Transformer Prime sometimes freezes/locks up for short periods (5-30 seconds) and I'm trying to figure out why. The system clock in the top right notifications bar thingy even stops ticking (I've enabled the display of seconds and it just stays frozen). I've installed a monitoring app called "SystemPanel" from the Play Store (and have given it root perms as my device is rooted) and during these times, the load average is incredibly high (I've seen it as high as 30 before iirc!) but the CPU usage and RAM usage often aren't hitting 100%
I am now using Android Nougat 7.1 after following this guide BUT I got this same problem before I followed this guide (i.e. using the stock Asus TF201 Jelly Bean firmware) - this was one of the reasons I was following this guide as I'd read that the last official Asus firmware had crippled the device performance-wise and I thought that might have been why the device locked like this. I have tried using a minimal set of apps but it still happens and this definitely feels like more than a software issue to me anyway.
The tablet has a crack across the very bottom right corner of the front (not obscuring the actual display) so I think it may have been damaged in the past but right now I'd really appreciate a way of working out at least what is causing the lock up, e.g. could it be disk problems? or RAM? Apps tend to run fine without crashing except for when this issue triggers and the whole device becomes basically unusable for 10s or more ... which is very frustrating!
Any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben
Perhaps I should put this post in a more general forum?

Sorry. Please move it. I intended to delete this one and forgot
I've replied to this message and also reported the post and requested it to be moved. Do I need to do anything further?

Hi,hope this is the right thread. Has anyone got any experience with the Xtrons UI. Everything works as intended but for some reason the speedometer doesn’t work at all. I’ve tried all options. The gps signal is fine and all other apps show speed but not the speedometer in the ui itself
Hi new member.
Unfortunately no one here has a crystal ball to know what the unit is or even if installed correctly.
First point of contact ifor support is the seller - what do they suggest and what has been tried?
Which threads have been searched to identify the unit, were there no matches?
I mean I wasn’t asking for a crystal ball just maybe if someone had some experience or it was a simple settings option. Glad to see toxic forums are still a thing

No one nows what a xtrons ix is because it is a made up model, which could be any number of Chinese knockoffs. Anyone taking a few moments to read the forums likely realise that.
Calling toxic is nonsense, perhaps actively participating in community based forum is above your ability - First line of support is seller. But you're here because the seller is useless and you want someone to help with your low cost chinese knockoff.
The forum works by posting detail, no one here can know what the unit is, how it is connected, what the vehicle is. Calling the forums toxic won't get you any closer to solving your problem.
Is the unit MTCD - post Android System information including MCU version.
Also, steps you've tried, tested. If unable to do any of that, there's no hope your problem might be solved.
Sorry as I’m not a senior member on a forum I must struggle with basic communication functions obviously
