GPS and compass issues (not yet fixed in B188) - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I hope someone can help me with this. I'm having some issues with the gps and the compass
When using any gps app, for example, HERE Maps, its always jumping around, and app always saying to adjust compass.
My phone is ALE-L21, and Build number is ALE-L21C75B146. EMUI: 3.1, Android: 5.0.1
Bootloader is still locked. Its still have the stock rom, but its a modified rom from a service provider.
I dont know if this is a software bug or hardware issue.
When trying to update, it says theres no updates.
If I unlock the bootloader and install the latest official huawei rom, will it fix it? And which one I should install?
Thanks!

Hello,
Where download this ROM version?

I didnt downloaded, it was an update from B170
First flashed the "Flash ROM B052.rar" in fastboot but it was saying balong, and couldnt find any updates, so then I flashed "ALE-L21V100R001C432B046b" to activate the dual SIM, blocked by the service provider, then I think I flashed this for some reason "Huawei_P8_Lite_ALE-L21_V100R001C432B052-Europe-Dual-SIM.rar" .
And yes, dual SIM works in B188.

I have p8 lite (ALE-L21)
and have the same problem with GPS and compass, specialty in compass turn some right about the real in all apps
and I am need GPS too mush
in anyone know how to solve it please say

Tested, and still has problems in GPS and compass even with the latest B188 update.
Im really disappointed with this device, I already have atleast 5 or more dead pixels with just a month of use only. :crying:
No more huawei's for me, I dont trust them anymore and wouldnt recommend to anyone.
Stay away.

I've tried entering fastboot mode and flashing boot.img, recovery.img, but i it didn't worked.
Sorry for the bad english, please help me.

If you can answer these questions we can help you
Hi! I have same issue with my P8 Lite single sim from Vodafone. Before i went into bootloop i had B181 branded software.
My bootloader is locked (how i can get unlock code when emui site is down?). Is there any way to rescue my phone without unlocking bootloader?
Maybe it will be possible to flash (vol+,vol-,power) it once again with vodafone rom, but i can't find it anywhere.
Thanks for support.

I'm not 100% sure now but it should be ALE-L21C432B133_Europe Channel_single Software from official huawei site
In that build there should be a floder named vendor with an small update.app in it. put that one in your sdcard/internal memory and go trough settings-> updater-> menu-> local update and select that. let it do and everything should be fine

Galaxy S5 Plus (SM-G901F) losing mobile signal and gps after Marshmallow update

After updating to Android 6.0.1, the phone is randomly losing mobile and gps signal. It happens about 30-40 times a day, especially when moving around, like driving . Almost every time I look at my phone, I see "No service, network not found" or "gps lost" messages. After about 10 seconds, the signal comes back and everything is ok again. Very annoying and impossible to use navigation apps, like Waze and Google Maps. I have made a soft reset, a hard reset, wiped all data and cleared the phone cache, checked and cleaned the Sim card. Nothing helps. Before update the phone worked brilliantly. Also noticed, that the signal won't drop when using wifi, the problem occurs only when data connection is on. And I'm not the only one, I have 2 friends with the same phone and the same problem. Looks like a software issue. Can somebody help?
PS. I'm from Estonia, and the software version is G901FXXU1CPE1/G901FBAL1CPE1
Thank you in advance...
Hi mate,
I Have the same device although mine uses a custom ROM but the problem I experienced was exactly like yours
Samsung released a new issue of the 6.0.1 for our phone, PDA G901FXXU1CPF6 CSC G901FPHN1CPF2 you can login to the sammobile site and download it
As I said above I have a custom ROM so I only flashed the modem firmware from that release and worked fine after that!
Hope that will help you!
Thanks for your response! But I'm using a totally stock phone and I see, that this firmware is for Netherlands. Does it work on my phone or I have to wait until the Baltic version is released?

Hello,
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work but just in case make a note of your Access point name settings in the mobile networks tab just to make sure that everything is the same after you flash the new release .
If you follow the steps as described in the sammobile site you won't have any problems.
What I have noticed however is that after I flashed the new modem firmware the mobile hotspot does not work anymore but this has to do with my custom ROM.
It worth trying though the performance of the phone after that is exceptional and the signal strength is higher than before and most importantly, doesn't crash anymore..
Let me know if you need help and keep me posted about your results!
i had that ROM for a while, didnt help in my case, still same issue. I'm currently on XXU1CPG3 with which the issue still persists, gonna try flashing the new TPD CSC ROM (currently the newest) ROM Version CPH9. My baseband is still CPE1, which do you guys have?

Baseband:
G901FXXU1CPE1, I have a totally stock phone with the latest official firmware.
Latest official firmware from where? ("latest" is region dependent)
Ok, the cph firmware updated the baseband to cph, on my side it's only been a while 14 hrs since flashing but it seems the signal problem is finally fixed

From what I understand it doesn't matter which ROM you are using the baseband is the one that causing this problem..
As I said I have a custom ROM and when I had the CPE1 baseband then I had all these problems.
If you flashed the ROM and your baseband is still CPE1 then something did not go per plan I think..
After flashing ONLY the modem firmware from the CPF6 release to my SMG901F is reported that the baseband version is CPG2 however..
This version works for sure..
I might try the CPH9 release now to see if the issues i have with the mobile hotspot will be solved

I'll try to install that CPH9 release too. Let's see what happens, because I have tried everything else.
To me it seems, that this CPE1 version is having problems with switching between network modes. I checked, that in Settings- Mobile networks- Network mode is set to LTE/3G/2G (automatic connect), but I haven't seen H+, H or Edge symbols on top of the screen. Only 4G/4G+ or no reception at all. Like it's locked in 4G network or something. And sometimes when there is no 4G network coverage, there is also no signal. But that is just my logic...
Ok, I flashed the latest CPH9 firmware and my baseband changed to CPH3. CSC Country turned to Netherlands instead of Baltic. And it seems that the issue is fixed!
I made a little test, I went to the cellar to get bad 4G reception and instead of showing No Service, 4G turned to H without losing the cell signal. Let's wait and see...
Thank you guys a lot for your help! :good:
Hi
1) I have the latest PHN version for SM-G901f stock& rooted. I see the TPD version, will it have dutch language if i flash it ( without wipe anything) in ODIN?
2) What does TPD stand for anyway?
I want to do this because i see TPD has latest security_patch sept 1
With rooted Phone there is no way (as far as i know (3) ) to get security updates without getting the message it as screenshot given under here....
I can confirm that the issue has been fixed for me as well! ****ing finally! :cyclops:
Btw it will not switch to Dutch

Hello! It seems all the firmwares ending with CPE1/CPH1 are problematic. You can try some other firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G901F/
Select the firmware what seems best for you, don't select the operator-based ones, like vodafone etc. If you click on the firmware and scroll the page down, you will see step-by-step instructions how to install it. Good luck!
Ok but i can't found latest country band FW have same with indonesia network (except FW country singapure now i using it)
So i'll try to download FW update 2016-09-03

Moto G4 Plus's Model changed to G4,lost one imei and finger print.

I have switched to a new device and no longer use this phone but i see many others facing this issue as well so I am keeping this thread open, please do not message me regarding the solution to this issue cause all i did to get out of this mess was getting a new phone.
Hello !
Due to some error while flashing stock rom on Moto G4 Plus XT-1643 my Moto G4 Plus has changed into Moto G4 but the model no shown in the "About Phone" section is correct.
I have lost one Imei no. fingerprint option is no where sim or mobile network doesn't work other than that the phone is fully functional(WiFi,Camers,Audio etc)
There are multiple threads on the same issue but no solution is available I would be highly grateful if anyone could find out any solution to this issue.
P.S : I have tried flashing multiple ROMs available on the forum specific to XT-1643 i.e Indian Version
Also I flashed the OTA file for the Android 7.0 Soak Test due to which I cannot relock the bootloader.
I am currently on Stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 139-63 Rooted&TWRP installed
The phone is basically an iPod without fingerprint sensor
I had the same issue. I relocked the bootloader and sent to service center. They flashed the original firmware. Stock roms roaming here are not exactly stock roms.
this happened to my phone (1640 - brazilian moto g 4 plus), and I tried every single rom out there for moto g 4 plus, and it is only identified as Moto G 4, without fingerprint or any modem activity.
i still cannot recover previous bootloader, because it don't downgrade bootloader version. nothing worked for me so far.
i'll be watching this thread to see if anyone comes with any alternative.

Umm, so according to you too it's a software issue and not a hardware one right ?
The first thing that I do when I boot in TWRP, I do a full backup of all the phone's partitions, and save a copy on my PC, so I can restore the phone in cases like this.
Guys, maybe you need to read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617276
if you flashed android 7.0 and then downgraded to android 6.0.1 then expect some bugs because your bootloader gets updated you have to do clean flash but you cannot actually completely downgrade to android 6.0.1 after you updated to 7.0 soak test bootloader still remains updated and your phone will brick when you click update after you receive 7.0 official OTA i warned you this happened to lot of moto x users do some research before you do anything if the phone is your primary device

I think so. May be if we flash a wrong modem, the right one never flashes correctly. I don't know how do they managed to flash it correctly.
For me its a software issue... looks like it messed with the bootloader, and since you cannot rollback to an older bootloader, the phone works like an iPod Touch. haha
I hope that when Motorola releases the final 7.0 version for 1640, I'll be able to flash again the right bootloader and that will fix the phone.

I did a full flash of an older 6.0.1 ROM, and it still doesn't work. Since the only thing that I couldn't flash is the bootloader, and the phone identify itself as Moto G 4 (and not Moto G 4 Plus) my guess is that the problem is with the bootloader.
I guess i'll have to wait for the official 7.0 for my specific phone (1640) to fully replace this broken bootloader.
Yeah, that's why I didn't upgrade to the N yet, I was sure that the bootloader will be different.
I also have saved the partitions with Partitions Backup & Restore app, after rooting.
Did you try the ElementalX kernel?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/kernel-elementalx-g4-0-01-t3424836
I was also having same issue,got my bootloader locked and went to service center and they replaced the motherboard for free????
Lucky you
Has anyone found a solution to get the plus (fingerprint) back to the phone?
Nope funny thing no one knows anything ??
I am waiting for the Android 7.0 official update so that I can relock my bootloader and send it for service.
That's a bummer but there might be some solution. The phone version number shouldn't be that hard to find if you'd knew witch file that flashes it.
How do you do these backups for they don't look at all as twrp backups so I guess twrp is second best to something. But what?
What is the different with 7.0 coming up? Can't you just relock a backup?

I have the same issue, I have seen people with XT1643 having athene_f in build fingerprint but I have only athene. Which one is correct, could this be the issue?
Managed to solve the issue at least to get the signal. This is what I have done
- Restore my first TWRP backup.
- Booted directly into bootloader and NOT system, flashed modem for the build.
- Rebooted and I am getting the signal!!!

I have spent 1 whole week to get the signal working, at least be glad that you can now use your phone and press thanks if I helped. Regarding athene in build fingerprint you can easily change that in build.prop but it won't help. I think fingerprint service is disabled because ROM thinks that our phone is G4 and not G4 plus. I have tried few things to enable it but not getting it to work, will update if any of my experiment is successful.

I found this trick early and I am using it now. I thought you cracked the last part (fingerprint sensor) which my post was about. I think that the issue is with gpt bin as I tried different bootloader versions along with all possible combinations. Gud to see someone else is working on the same. Will update if found any.
find the correct firmware for the device and flash it else it would lead to such errors

Hey, today afternoon was so boring therefore I'm wondering around threads and then i found your update here.
You can try it out if your problem isn't solved yet. I think it'll help because it's the official nova 7.0 nougat version for Europe. Do reply so that others can benefit from your experience.

Your linking a old version of the Nougat update for the Nova variant CAN-L01C432 and the CAN-L11C432 which if your not careful could damage your phone if you don't have that version of the Nova. There is the CAN-L01C432/CAN-L11C432 variants, the MLA-L03C654 variant, the CAN-L01C02 variant and a couple of others I believe.

my bad i didn't know that there are these many variants.. Thank you for notifying
Hi everyone, my first post here.
Looks like im in the same situation.
I have Nova Plus from Bell/Virgin Canada. MLA-L03. Purchased it on Caraigslist and after 2 month they blacklisted my Imei. I decided to root the phone and maybe change imei as the phone was useless anyways. So i installed TWRP and rooted it successfuly .
The problem was that i could never get diagnostic port open for Qualcomm QPST program. So i upgraded to Nougar 7.0 ( NRD90M) it got UNrooted and i wanted tio install a newer version of TWRP, i guess i got a wrong version. Now its properly screwed up. I have FRP Lock in fasboot, it makes fastboot useless as i cant adb flash boot, or flash recovery. I can boot back to OS but OEM Unlocking is off and grayed out and FRP Lock blocks all communication, so ADB or Fastboot commands dont get through. i get "waiting for device" crap in command line. SD card upgrade doesn't work either. I dont know why and eRecovery wants to download update but fails all the time. I dont know how to get rid of FPR lock. If i find anything i will post here.

just bought one, should i continue OTA update?

im planning on installing a custom rom at the very least since the stock rom is giving me some software glitches. i wanted to know if theres any problem with the new update that would prevent me from rooting, or is just best to update to the newest version while its still on stock

if your talking about the AT&T XT2 it can be rooted on any version
problem right now is Huawei's bootloader unlock page is gone and you'll have to try DC unlocker to pay for a bootloader unlock
I was talking about the original XT, I updated since I see most of the road support the latest version
