My S7 GPS doesnt work at all, i have tried to factory reset multiple times (normal and with Odin), using apps like GPS status to clear AGPS data, changing settings (permissions only for apps in specific, GPS location only, high accuracy, etc) but still no luck, i took my phone into service and it was working back, however it only lasted 1 day, now even if i factory reset problem persist.
Is there anything i can delete or reset to fix the GPS? there must be something software related that its not being cleared properly
NV Rebuild?
Does anyone know how to access the service mode on S7? i tried with *#0011*# but after doing the "back, key input" it doesnt do anything with codes Q0, Q1, Q+0000, 0000 etc
Would and NVRebuild help with the GPS issue?

I notice a weird thing abt the GPS on my htc touch pro:
The internal GPS only works only ONE time on each start up. For example, google can detect and use the internal GPS unit automatically and correctly after a fresh soft reset. HOWEVER, if i close the google map and start it again. The GPS wont work and Googlemap says "Seeking GPS satellites (0)" forever and only soft reset can solve the problem.
I've hard reset a couple times but this symptom persists. Can anybody help??
I can confirm the following settings:
1. Location setting is set to turn on
2. All GPS settings are factory reset and set to default (managed by windows)
many thanks
Not sure where to post this so I'll do it here:
I have a HTC Desire that was factory loaded with Froyo (Android 2.2). So far it worked fine, with one exception, which is that occasionally the mobiel internet would just die on me and not turn back on whatever I set the settings to. So far the solution was to cold start the phone, which allowed the setting to clear and re-enable mobile internet.
However, this morning I lost it and the restart did not work. I tried removing teh battery for an hour or so, remove the SIM card, none of which helped. I also did a hard reset, clearing the whole phone to factory settings. This also did not work. The mobile Internet is still dead. It's not my provider because my colleagues use the same provider and at the same physical location, with full reception, an dthey do not have this problem. Some have the same phone even, others have a different phone.
I'm not so sure this is a hardware failure because I do have full reception and can send/receive SMS messages and make/receive phone calls. I would imagine a hardware failure would also take out the telephone radio disabling my phoning capabilities. SInce that still works I suspect a firmware issue, maybe a setting in NVM, or NVM corruption.
I wonder if flashing the phone with new firmware would solve the problem. If it is a memory location that is now corrupted to a permanent "off" setting, then reflashing probably won't work, would it?
Any suggestions?
PS, the phone is unbranded
any ideas?
Hello,
I am experiencing a strange issue with mobile data, the most similar thread I could find about my issue is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/fix-workaround-mobile-data-connectivity-t1149716
I am using Samsung J1 SM-J100ML, Android 4.4.4, Kernel 3.19.17-366995, Mar 26 2015, bought new as unlocked rooted
The phone was purchased new and everything worked great for a few months. Recently I took a short trip overseas to Australia and bought an Optus SIM card and installed their android app from Google play (this was the only change I can think of that could have caused my issue). Upon returning home and using my normal SIM, I found my phone is now constantly switching between HSPA and HSPA+, sometimes many times per minute. This interferes with web browsing or using chat apps, as the connections seems it must reset, which takes a few seconds each time it switches. This issue is making is incredibly frustrating to use the mobile data now. I ruled out issues with the SIM card, no mobile data issues on my other Samsung devices in the same location.
From my searches on this forum, I want to try to access the setting "CHANGE HSPA REVISION" so I can lock my device to a frequency to prevent switching, or disable Fast Dormancy.
I tried codes such as *#301279# and *#*#9900#*#, but they are not working. Uninstalled Optus app and threw away their SIM card already. I also tried starting the phone in Safe mode, but I still noticed the mobile data issue.
I can access the ServiceMode using *#0011#. I tried many combinations of selecting "Back" and entering "Q" then "0" or "00", or "Q0", "Q00", "Q0000", etc.. but nothing works.
I called Samsung for help, but they never heard of ServiceMode, and recommended a Factory reset.
My options as I see it:
1. Factory reset (long process to backup all data, reset, restore... I want to avoid). I suspect my issue is software related and will fix the issue, but its not guaranteed.
2. Find the correct "Key Input" code so I can use the ServiceMode and change settings that may help.
3. Buy a new phone.
Any ideas? Any one know the correct Key Input code to get farther in ServiceMode for this device? Thanks.
Without warning, my S7 (SM-G903F) failed to find satellites when GPS is used. The GPS icon appears whenever an app is opened that uses location however several apps report 'no satellites' or '0/0 satellites. The phone has never suffered damage and only lightly wet, never submerged.
I have tried all the normal actions including:
- toggling location
- removing the case
- resetting A-GPS data
- restoring to factory
- wiped the cache of every GPS app
- wiped the phone cache from the POWER+HOME+VOLUME UP (forgot the name) screen
- installing every 'GPS Fix' app
Before I send the phone for repair, is there a way to diagnose if the issue is software or hardware related? If it conclusively a software issue, I am comfortable with flashing the firmware or similar. I am not comfortable however with replacing the GPS chip etc.
Thanks, Brad

Hello and welcome to XDA-developers!
I see you already have tried all methods avaliable. If your are comfortable with custom firmware, I suggest you install any stable custom ROM for your device just to see if the problem persists. If the problem is solved with custom ROM, its only firmware problem
Hello,
My phone Samsung S8+ SM-G955F. Wifi and Bluetooth are just stop working after I flashed the firmware G955FXXU3CRGH. In the beginning the bluetooth just stopped working for no reason. For example: When I try to turn it on, the colour is the same instead of turning into ''blue'' colour which is weird. I have tried reset network settings, factory reset, go to safe mode, ... more. But it is the same. (What can be wrong? Component inside of the android? )
And now the wifi function stops to work as well. Everytime I try to turn wifi on in setting menu, the whole mobile resets itself. Have also tried to reset settings, factory, flash another verisions of firmware but no result.
Does anyone know how to fix it? What can be wrong?
Please help me. I preciate every single comment
