just wanna let everyone know and reassure that the GPS Hardware Fix is super duper easy! .. follow the instructions from the link posted on 1st page and u r all done ... IT IS SERIOUSLY VERY EASY!
my warranty sticker wasnt on the screws so it is easy for me ... Just dont be like me, being too skeptical about it being too easy and went overboard, just consulted my electronic engineering friend and since my whole chrome antenna is still afix i can just stick it back onto the board with super glue!! ...

Er.... You mean google map is using data plan. Not GPS??
*
it can use both GPS and data plan, by using both together it will become A-GPS which locks on faster due to using network satellites to determine ur location ...
no worries, it can be used with just GPS alone ... since i dont have my gps antenna now, i would need to use data plan to try get a lock and check where i am when i go sightseeing ...

@KH Cheah, currently searching for some solutions ... no $$ to get external gps receiver cry.gif

sorry to hear that  notworthy.gif  that why people always mention dont go happy bending........

the only solution i heard was soldering, if you still under warranty, put it back all together and just say your gps suddenly stop working.
*
luckily in my case, the whole piece of chrome antenna came off from the board ... its not broken into 2 piece so i think still can save, hopefully ... and i am not gonna solder it, havent touch solder since ages ago back in secondary ...

gonna try out using super glue, if cant then i will have to send it all the way back m'sia ... OMG!

btw, i quoted a link about the battery info back in previous page wink.gif

u will surely laugh at my idiotic action .. hahaha
the gap was seriously flat, so i widen it easily ... after that i was like, eh! so this is it? not challenging at all .. so i went to have a look at the screenshot from xda, and i was like y the screenshot's base is higher then mine ... so i again used the flat head screw driver and tried to pry the bottom base higher, then pop the whole thing came off ..
it was as easy as A B C but things get messy when u add in 10 20 30 into the sequence ... doh.gif
lesson for the day, some things are meant to be followed as instructed.. laugh.gif
gonna get super glue later when i wake up .. good night pplz! .. i will be back when most r asleep .. smile.gif

Find yourself the latest one, and also the one according to your android version. I'm using k12R 500hz, flashed using odin3.

If you have 2e recovery, you can download the CMW version. Can flash through recovery mode.

He's got resurrection edition that requires odin? what's the difference with 9.2?

anyway, good to see a bit of humility from him. haha

1. Backup DATA: data + dbdata + cache
2. Restore
3. Backup All
4. Restore All (Be careful!)
