GPS lock?? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

hey guys i was hoping someone could help me out. I'm not getting a gps lock on my phone. I have tried going back to stock, getting a gps lock and flashing different roms to see if that helps but nothing has worked. I know people usually get a lock after they flash back after going to a stock rom. any help would be appreciated.

i was having this issue as well could not get a lock for the life of me then i realized it was my house i took a drive and with in 5 minutes i had a lock.. maybe worth a shot maybe app on the market gps lock best of luck buddy

hey i tried that too, i took a drive after flashing back to each rom nothing has worked. i'm currently on a verizon based rom and getting gps to work but i would love to go to a internation based rom. if nothing i guess i'll have to stick with verizon based roms.

Get a navigation lock on the Verizon ROM. Then immediately boot into recovery and flash new ROM.

Let it sit then. Also try gps status from play. If it's showing that it should eventuality get a lock, then locks after the first will be much faster. Also, make sure you're outside trying to get the lock, much faster

I'll give it a try and let you know. I have tried the gps status before on a non Verizon rom trying to get a lock but it never did and it was outside. Might have to stick to Verizon ROM. I hope not tho

I had an issue other day where it wouldn't lock. Pretty sure it had the satellites in view and connected to several but wouldn't get a fix.
Turns out changed a roaming setting and it locked.. Think it was the network type CDMA lte etc..
Edit: it was "network mode"

When you lock that way it is not using gps satellites and you will find out that your not even close to your proper location

[Q] WIFI issues?????

Hiya all,
Is anyone having the same issues on their ThunderHammer with WIFI not picking up any locations? I seem to not be able to get any hits on any networks, I am rooted running stock, I have ran the ROM by XXXVIRUS but maybe it could be in the WiFi sup. Checked the build.prop changed the interval to 30 ( 15 native) can't seem to get her going.... I'm not a NooB, and can use and and I know my way around some Droid ... Any ideals let me know, or its back to Verizon to replace, ( came from og to dx, and they both had no WiFi issues, this bolt can't see and may have to get contacts!!!!)
Bump.... To see if there are another with this issue????

I know that my ROM no longer says anything about GPS, not sure about Mobile Data. Either way, why are you toggling them all the time? I leave GPS on all the time, data is always active unless in airplane mode, and I can still get through a day easily (usually 2+ days) without charging. Also, WTF is "Modal"? You usually get more help with proper spelling and without replying to yourself several times.

Notifications not coming in on wifi

So I'm new to the Note 2 and when I'm at work I am connected to their wifi because my cell sign lapis horrible when I'm there. But when I get off, I seem to get all my push notifications all at once like they were waiting for me to get off wifi. Anyone know the reasoning behind this?

Maybe your phone is just using the WiFi connection without actually trying to use VZWs service because its so crappy.
If you're unlocked and have flashed a ROM then it could definitely be a ROM issue.

[Q] Need Help - Lost 4g signal

For the past 3-4 days, I havent had 4g. Not sure if it's related but I first noticed it within 24 hourss after taking my phone apart to clean the proximity sensor (I use wifi at home so 4g isnt on). When I turn wifi off it takes anywhere from 30 sec to 3-4 minutes to connect to data, and its a 3g connection. When it does show a 4g connection, I cant actually connect to the intenet.
I've tried everything I can think of. Started with toggling airplane mode on/off. Made sure the settings were correct under mobile data options.
I was running slim 3.6 with KT's kernel, but I've tried other roms w/ stock kernel. I odin'ed back to stock & unroot. I went into verizon and had the sim card replaced. nothing has worked.
Any ideas? I've since taken my phone apart again, dont see any noticable damage. is it possible I did some damage when I took it apart the first time?
wifi/3g/phone all work, just no LTE. My wife also has a stocked/unrooted s4 and her's is working fine.
Thanks
Dan
Are you able to make phone calls?
Edit: Are you on stock tw right now? The reason I ask is I've had AOSP roms default my CDMA subscription to NV. Which should be on RUIM / SIM.

Just curious but are you on the correct APN setting>> LTE- Verizon Internet?
Edit: I know you said you had Verizon replace your sim card but they can screw up sometimes. Since your wife has the same phone I would swap sims and test both devices. If her sim gets 4g in your phone then your sim is no good. Just a suggestion.

Flashed TW, first time i went into apn settings the only option was the vzn lte and it wasn't selected. After selecting it i rebooted but still no luck. When LTE is showing in status bar i have no Internet connection. Flashed back to aosp and no different.
Appreciate the help from both of you

Yep, try a Sim, free if you go into a vzw store. Mine just started only getting 3g one day, new Sim fixed it. By chance did you *228 on the aosp, I know this will nuke the Sim.

No on *228, maybe I'll try a new sim card again.
I don't know anything about APN, if Verizon wasn't selected would that affect anything when they replaced the sim card yesterday?

Anything is possible. You would think they would have checked your APN. Were you on AOSP when they put a new SIM in?
Also from what you've posted, your CDMA sounds like its working fine. Just need to fix your LTE, which is were it boils down to your SIM.
Edit: You are on CDMA/LTE/EVDO in mobile network settings right?

This will narrow down whats going on and its easy. download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htsoft.sqleditor
Open app, grant root privilege, under apps, find settings storage, then settings.db, then global. Now look for preferred_network_mode should be set at 10 , mobile_data should be set at 1.
If those values are different change them , save, then reboot.

Sprint max hotspot app reboots data

I'm on vipermax 1.0.1 and all was well till about an hour ago. We have 4g here but I can't connect (that's not the issue I get some error right when I boot about LTE if you know about that you could help too lol). But I've been using the default hotspot app and it worked fine but all of a sudden as soon as I turn it on 3g goes in and out cycling indefinatly. New to sprint not to android.
