"Try downloading GPS Status (free) from the market. I read somewhere that this app did something to the initialization of the GPS that fixed it for other apps on the Galaxy series. "
ive personally tried this and its fixed my GPS issues on 3G.

Aurora ICS 4.0.4 for u8800 - Version 5.0 update 2

I startet this Thread because i could not reply to the thread of DZO.
I will only say that this ROM - Version 5.0 update 4, which is not more available in the posting, is working well.
I have no more reboots.

Hi all,
since some days ago I am using Aurora 5.0 update 9 and every time when I opened the gallery my phone reboots. Are there any solutions to stop the reboot?
Many thanks in advance,

[Q] GPS

First I'm from Germany an my written English is a little rusty, so excuse me for some strange grammar...
Ich have a question about GPS and CM10 0.9.2.
My Thinkpad Tablet is a European Version with UMTS. The GPS works quite well with th stock rom 4.03. GPS fix in about 1 minutes. Not so bad. With CM10 installed I doesn't get a fix even after 10 minutes. Is it possible that the GPS module is configured to the wrong antenna input? I read somewhere that the GPS uses the UMTS antenna (external input mux setting?) in the 3G model and not the internal GPS one. There mus be a reason why the CM10 GPS is really unusual, but the stock ROM is quite ok. I tested thin behaviour several times switching between stock rom an CM10 - this is reproducible.
Thanks,
Volker

No one any idea? For the GPS Antenna there is a entry in the settings menu, but only "internal" selectable. Maybe switching to "external" solves the GPS problem for the 3G version of the TPT.
AW: [Q] GPS
Can't you just copy the settings?
Cwm often reuses the proprietary drivers. So the settings from stock rom might also run on cwm.
Also:
Ckeck
/etc/gps.conf, /etc/gps/gpsconfig.xml, /etc/gps, /data/gps
If you have any of them, they must be readable by all users.

I tried to copy /etc/gps.conf from the stock rom already, but the receive strength is as poor as formerly. I'll check to copy the xml-file too. In /data/gps I've only a 0-Byte file.

Try setting permisions for /data/gps to 777.

It's now working!
The stock rom doesn't store anything except glgpsctrl (the control pipe, not a file) under /data/gps, don't ask me why.
Under CM10 I had the file gldata.sto, so I deleted everything under /data/gps and installed a modified gpsconfig.xml file from a German Forum in /etc/gps:
(Sorry I've no permission to post the URL.... www(dot)android-hilfe(dot)de/medion-lifetab-p9516-forum/224553-schwaches-gps-20(dot)html)
Now the GPS get a fix between 10s and 60s this seem almost faster than with the stock rom
Thank you!
I just tried this myself... awesome! Since the GPS is notoriously bad from what I've read I just accepted that it sucked. Not anymore

[Q] Android Core Apps and Unified Daemon crazy data usage

Hello xda citizens,
I hope you all are doing well.
I have a problem regarding those 2 apps ( crazy data usage + battery drain) after updating to Kitkat. I managed to fix Unified daemon when searching in another thread. I just cleared the app data and rebooted the device then it stopped eating data. The problem is the "Android core apps" app which I can not find in the applications manager and don't even know what it is. Can you please help?
Another problem is that the device randomly stops detecting my SIM card while I am on official Kitkat (updated through Windows Kies) .
Thanks guys in advance!
Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 Official Kitkat (unrooted but don't mind rooting it)
Problem seems to be solved after restricting Android core apps from data. Thanks!

I have the same problem, I'm using Trinidad and Tobago firmware KitKat 4.4.4 , Galaxy S3 Neo GT I9300I. I will try to flash another firmware from another region to see if it's better???
i'm using South East Europe from november for the records
EDIT

im useing that firmware I9301IXXUANF4_I9301IOXXANF2_SEE ...on the phone info it says that is from 25 june but i think that that is what it says july....aaand its happening again, just less, about 10 days it didnt happend and yesterday it did...here is logcat file...
and how firmware from november works? camera good?

I think Viber makes camera crash. I've removed Viber and there is no more problems with black camera screen.

i have the same problem with my samsung s3 neo
my camera is working before until I flashed it with some random ROM region
now I can't use my camera. I don't know what to do, should I download another region of rom and reflash it instead?
because I'm still hoping that it can fix it.
for sure its not a hardware defect.

can't get bcmon work

I have stock ROM and stock kernel . When i tried bcmon for my mobile it doesn't work.Every time i open the app it asks if it installs firmware and tools and i click yes then it force close after about 5 seconds. in the app thread i found it crashes when the wifi chipset is not supported (supported ones are bcm4329 and bcm4330 and i think sgy is supported as it has bcm4330 wifi chipset so i don't know why it is crashing i searched the hall thread for something about sgy and i didn't find anything i also searched issues in their google code page and didn't find anything that helps.
where is the problem? Does some kernels or ROMs only support bcmon and monitor mode? How can i get it work?
Thanks in advance.

but why? it has a 4330 wifi chipest so it should support monitor mode according to bcmon and reaver apps devolopers.
is it a specific thing that is absent in the mobile hardware?
or is it about the kernel or the ROM?
