[Q] All apk that require location not working nexus 5

Hi
I am in a dilemma guys.... my nexus 5 is fully updated to 4.4.2 and i got it from the retailer already updated to 4.4.2.
Now, the problem is that any apk e.g. youtube, maps etc. that require my location aint functioning at all.
YOUTUBE CANT EVEN SIGN ME IN DAMN IT!!!.....
Also when i click any clip to watch, it just keeps on loading for ever and never plays JACK!!!
I am so frustrated & i am sure others have the same problem.
Btw, i am right now, located in kuwait wich is a country in the middle east (for those who would like to know).
LTE is fully functional, supported & working just fine because i have the international variant.
On a side note: i rooted my device and installed cwm but the problem persisted from the initial device boot up.
Questions:
A: Could someone help me pls??
B: Would downgrading my 4.4.2 to 4.4 or flashing a custom rom fix the issue??

hey guys i managed to fix the problem by flashing cm11 but i cant get the google now to work with my voice..... is there something i can do to fix this ? my cm version is based on 4.4... should i wait for the stable 4.4.2 version?

Is google supported or allowed in your country? If location is disabled then you wont get those things.

Hey friends.I bought the phone a week ago and after a few days of checking that is working properly i rooted it in stock rom for getting rid of the ad's ,full phone acces e.t.c.
Everything is working fine exept an issue.

Is there any way to make it work in official?
Seconnd 2) does smart view has to do anything with knox?i can use all the other funtions of smat view exept screen mirroring.it gives me a popup saynig ''smart view connection failed.Error occured''
does the root have something to do?
and a final question.if i flash back the offial version and unroot the phone (the knox will still be triggered) will receive the oficcial updates?
EDIT*

I used the same version as u but it dint take it on the first atempt.
I started the flashing in downloading mode and after a few seconds stops.The instalation bar was 1/3 full.
I let the phone to continue but after 5minuts nothing happend.so i restart again in download mode and instead of the clasic download mode screen it gave me a big blue screen with a triangle in the midle
and it was writting to use smart switch to contineu.
In this screen you still can flash the cf ayto root.So i flash it again and it continiue from where it left before.
Right now i have no issues from rooting.The smart view appears to be samsung error because i call customer support and they told me that the first update is including several fix and a fix for the smart view.
I root the phone immediately after the format data i make so it didnt take the first update tha cames when u first open the phone.

wifi cannot connect and TWRP problem

I got problem by my Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro (4/64GB). Problem with wifi and TWRP.
I saw on other pages, that On Android Pie, there can be problem with TWRP, but I am unsure if this is the same... Cause I am experiencing two problems, both of them are seriou from my point of view and using this phone.
Wifi doesn't want to start. Actually it was working for some time, about 1 or 2 hours. But after all updates has been done and it doesn't want to start. (it disconnect me automatically). When I want to turn it on it is impossible. I tried to install different version of MIUI, but it didn't help. Before I had installed MIUI Polska 10 and now I got Xiaomi.eu official ROM. Still the same problem. Now I have installed version MIUI global 10.3.3 stable version (PEKMIXM)
Besides I am unable to to anything in TWRP. It was working during instalation, but now I cannot SWIPE I tried different version of it, but none of it works
Don't know, how to solve this problem.
I got installed TWRP in version of TWRP 3.2.3.0, but I have installed almost of version, which I found at different pages, and at all there was the same problem... At bottom TWRP screen I got below some kind of hashes of something. I can see whole screen, but at the bottom I got 1,5cm stripe with different lines.
I don't know, if those 2 problems are connected somehow, but as I wrote above, I tried different versions of TWRP and MIUI and I am still experiencing the smae problems...
Any advice? Or maybe do you want some more output from my phone?

Another Bricked/stuck in bootloop device, please maybe somebody knows how to solve it?

Hi Guys, I bought a second hand 10 Ultra that had the EU ROM version 12.10. Battery life, everything was perfect. EXCEPT the camera! And the camera was THE only reason to buy this phone. Horrible photos, a lot of smear and haze when a light source was in the picture, like a light bulb, computer screen, almost unusable. So after reading that the chinese ROM can fix the issue I've used Xiomiflash and installed the latest official CN ROM : https://xiaomirom.com/en/download/mi-10-ultra-cas-weekly-V13.0.0.1.1.DEV/ . Fantastic photos, great camera overall but many bugs concerning all the apps installed via Google Play. no real time notifications, gmail interface very laggy , an important battery drain (10% overnight as with EU Rom was 1-2%).
So I have decided to go back. I have download and tried to install an EU ROM, it installed something but froze halfway and after a few hours I stopped the program.
Tried again and no luck, now I get the error message "anti rollback check error". I have google it, ran the cmd I have a code 1 in the phone.
On youtube there is a fix to that and all the comments are positive, so I opened the "bat" file in a txt editor and deleted the first lines about the rollback check.
Open the EU ROM with Xiaomiflash and It started to work but froze again after 10'-20' for hours.
So for the time being I think I have a bricked phone that starts with a bootloop, I can get in into the chinese recovery but using that it gets it again in the bootloop, I tbelieve that it"s booting into a corrupted ROM.
I have found this tool from XIAOMI http://zhushou.xiaomi.com/ but it's all in chinese, I have tried with a camera translator app on another phone but it's just impossible to translate.
I really really hope I can still get it back to work! Ideally with an EU rom, a 12.5 version, if downgrading it's impossible then again with the version13 beta CN ROM that worked.
Anyone any idea?
To resume evrything: Phone worked with EU ROM 12.5 - Used xiomiflash - wipe evrything- installed CN rom v13 - wipe evrything /tried to reinstall EU ROM v12.5- roll back error -stuck - wipe everything/tried to reinstall the same CN ROM V13- stuck halfway - Phone in bootloop/ fastboot -can access recovery mode that doesn't help.
I know it's long but I spent 2 full days and evenings trying to solve it :-(
Many many thanks in advance !

Hey, have you tried reinstalling using fastboot? basically start flashing from scratch. and stick to using only weekly or stable rom.

Question Possible touchscreen issue with TB-Q706F when using A12 and onwards

I briefly tested Android 12 as well as Android 13 GSIs on my TB-Q706F, with necessary and hopefully up-to-date vendors flashed for the purpose.
While most of the OS functionalities work fine, I noticed there are major issues with touchscreen, as when gaming, from time to time touchscreen would stop responding altogether, disrupting gameplay. I originally noticed this when I started using A12 GSI, but it appears the issue persists with A13 GSI as I have tested recently.
I'm not sure if other users on A12/A13 GSIs are also having the issue. In my case, the issue with touchscreen doesn't appear to manifest in Android 11 GSIs. When I reverted my tablet back to Android 11 GSI, the issue went away and touchscreen is now working fine.
So far I've only tested GSIs, so I don't know whether stock ZUI 14 is also affected like any other A12 GSI. I can't really test too much about this as I need the tablet to be in a usable state, and that touchscreen-related issues are not trivial to capture and inspect.

It's strange that no one else reported this issue. I encountered the same when I recently flashed to the official global Android 12L via Lenovo rescue assistant and encountered intermittent unresponsive touchscreen during gaming also.
Over the course of using this tablet on Android 11 for more than 1 year and I had never encountered such issues.
When I encountered this issue, I just quickly press the power button to put it on standby and wake it up again.

Touch screen works fine with no major issues when using Android 11. It's only when using Android 12 and onwards that the touchscreen would intermittently stop responding.
The problem is, touch-related issues may not be noticeable if not doing any intensive gaming, and are very hard to pinpoint.
I recall Lenovo was aware of some touch-related issues at least according to the official A12L Developer Preview image at some point. Not sure if the issues have been resolved by the time ZUI 14 came out.
Had Lenovo ever released kernel sources for our device (Q706F/Q706Z)? I don't know where one can request kernel sources from them...
EDIT: So turning off the screen then turn it back on would restore the touchscreen functionality? If this works 100%, then logcats during the moment when you turn the screen off, as well as the moment when you turn the screen on, may contain hints.

Hello ! I have Q706F (wifi only) can I get a clean Android 11 on it ? or some custom A12 rom ? I reallly want to be stock to android as possible. You guys mostly use A11 ? Thanks

If you want a clean Android you can try Phh's AOSP GSI. You should be able to find an A11 build there.
