[Q] Is there a GPS Hardware fix for spica? - Galaxy Spica General

So i read the 'CORRECT Hardware GPS Fix' for samsung SGS, and i thought: This should be possible for the spica as well..
The SGS contact:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Considering that the gps contact on SGS looks the same as on the spica, it should work just bending it.. I've tried gently bending it up just a bit, with no progress. I'm thinking of opening up the spica bad boy again and bend it up some more.
Has anyone else tried this? Does anyone know if this is possible?

Unfortunately GPS behaviour on Spica is related with baseband and rild libs (mostly libsec-ril.so), for some combos of baseband and libsec-ril GPS works fine, for some it barely works.
I didn't try hardware fixes, but XXIL2 baseband with XXJF2 libsec-ril.so makes GPS working fine (up to 8 sattelites fixed, fix time under 1 minute without clear sky)

Thanks gen_scheisskopf,
So basically, i should re-flash my phone to XXIL2 baseband and use the libsec-ril.so (which u put in system\lib, right?)
EDIT: Ah ok i noticed there's a zip file which u install in recovery mode after you've flashed the phone to the correct baseband version.
thx,

I can't say if xxil2 baseband will work for you for sure, be prepared to experiment with others also.

Look at here : forum.samdroid.net/f28/working-gps-finally-we-have-2-1-2-2-a-3880/
I tried it and it's working!

Big favor needed - specific older ROM needed.

Hi!
This is an odd one but I really need a specific, older ROM. I had a ROM installed and when you used the video camera (or perhaps it was for photos) it gave you a crazy slightly trippy visual, usually green and pink and in either lines or triangles.
I believe the issue was fixed with a patch, but I want the ROM with the issue.
Screenshot for reference:

Thanks for any help!
i think if you set it to full screen then this issue appears.
FreeX10 Beta 3/4 without the camera patch did that. Also Wolfbreak's CM 004 did that on 720p(High).
PS: I am suffering from memory loss lately. Check it yourself or wait for confirmation
Early version of trip's froyo mui maybe.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
That must have been my ROM i think. My ROM was the first ROM with working Camcorder but it had green lines in 720p it was like someone said earlier in a Version between 4 to 5
The Picture is showing AOSP Camera so i think my ROM or zdzihu one.
Thank you everyone for your input. I actually found an old backup I had by chance! It was actually rendeiro2005's [Cyanogen6.1.3]gingerbread[v01] but I guess it was in a few roms. Why I need this is a secret for now (nothing dev related!) but might explain later

It looks like you tried to flash a phone.apk or a dialer app that isn't stock. You didn't say what phone version you have (your signature mentions GT-I9505?) This forum is for the I337 variants. My suggestion would be to try and find the same version of firmware / ROM that you are currently using and see if you can get the correct phone.apk or dialer apk out of it and try to restore that way. Depending on you phone model and firmware, you might be able to restore with a nandroid (if you have one). If your bootloader is locked you might need to restore via ODIN and the proper firmware. Most thing you do will run the risk of wiping your data and contacts so back everything up first before you try anything to be on the safe side. If you don't understand the things I mentioned or if you don't know where to find something I suggest you use the forum's search function to find the information and tools you need. Good luck.
Phone
see two symbols of battery, you were trying or tried to do for that to happen, and if you can tell the model of your phone, greetings

[Q] Sim Card Removed Error apparently after updating to 4.4.4

Hello,
Since I've updated my nexus 4 to 4.4.4, I'm having this issue too frequently. After every 4-5 hours I get this error (image below) When this error arises, all my phone signals would go down and I need to restart my phone at least twice to get back the signals ! Can anyone help me solving out this issue ? is it related to hardware or software the new update ?

Pretty unlikely to be software, try another SIM in your phone, if it works fine ask your network for a replacement SIM. If it doesn't it could be your SIM reader is damaged.

Was just wondering why it starts working once I restart the phone ! If there was some hardware related issue, it shouldn't be working.?

Mine also happens after battery drops certain level like 40% and in few min phone switch off and battery dies.
After restart you see same battery level or reduce drastically?

Nexus 4 only working on Jellybean (4.2.2)

This is very strange...
Okay, it's the second Nexus 4 that I own (my other one works well, even has Nougat installed on it)
For some reason, it only works on Jellybean version 4.2.2, I've tried to update it to all of the factory updates and yet it gets stuck on a endless boot loop at the start. Very weird.
I've tried to wipe the cache: it does nothing.
I've also tried to Side-load a custom ROM: it still does not work.
I've tried to update it via 4.2.2: it still does not work
I've made a 3 hours research on the internet and yet I found nothing. It's very weird that it does this, and I'm probably the only one who has this problem.
The reason why I am working on making this phone work, despite having a working one with version 7, is because I wanted to gift it to my sister. Yet, I find Jellybean a bit too old for this phone, and would also be cool to have all the features that is include in either Lollipop or Marshmallow.
It would be awesome if someone who found a solution to this problem, to share it with us.

Have you tried flashing factory images? I think that must work

Fix
I just just fixed it!
I've realized that the screws where missing on the bottom, so I've opened the phone. I took the plastic shield off and realized that the Earphone Jack was not plugged. After plugging it back, I tried the update thinking it might be the solution and it is!
So basically what android does, it initializes the hardware while booting. It discovered that there is a component missing, so it got stuck on the initialization.
Thank you for trying to help c:
I still appreciate it!

NFC Issues - Doesn't turn on

Hi,
I have an issue with my OP5. I'm rooted with Magisk and I tried to use Card Emulator Pro app.
I think the app changed the NFC configuration of the OP5 and I can't turn on the NFC.
I tried to restore to NFC configuration back to default but it doesn't change.
Does anyone here has the same issue ?
Here is my log with the error

Hey, i just fixed it by downgrading it to a earlier version. It must have something to do with the latest version firmware. try with 5.0 it worked for me. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3628190 download it from here. It should fix it but it will perform a factory reset. but no media data will be lost. once downloaded place it on the phone and head to settings->update_then little ... menu and local file.
hope this helps. I use google pay alot so a fix is a must, thought it was hardware issue
