Hi all...

I haven't use waze for quite some time and today when I tried... it cannot detect my GPS or the GPS is purely not working. I tried on other app like Google map and I think also cannot detect gps... shown as no gps... any idea how to check if this is really mudah phone issue or really due to raining and my phone got problem locking down the gps signal?

Is there a way to test if the gps chip is working?

Thanks!

s6e+ user here, waiting for note7 back on sale. Just realised s-pen very useful for work, and the 64gb is nearly a must for a flashaholic.

My gps miraculously working now already... I do nothing... suddenly when I test waze again and now working...

I noticed when the gps not working.... the location icon at the top of the screen there is static and always shown...

But now when the gps working already... only when I use waze the location icon will appear .... maybe previously hang.... no idea how it happened though ...

I think the phone must be terribly afraid to be dissect @ SC brows.gif Anyway, it's good that it's working again biggrin.gif

Samsung new cables sucks bad. The previous Note 4 one is the best. And the old one is longer too.
Fast charging does affect the longetivity of the cables due to high voltage pass through the cables. So the cable can become very hot and also hot at the Micro USB port.
Plus, fast charging is not good for your battery. Battery easily fast degrading. So just use the normal charging, and fast charging only save around a few minutes only.
*
Agree. My samsung phone cable lasted no longer than two months. Didn't even bother to replace at SC. Bought a new usb cable (fonemax 2.4A), last more than 7 months and still working.

Which brand cable is recommended to purchased ?
*
I'd recommend "fonemax" brand with 2.4A rating. Bought quite a few since the end of last year and they serve me well ever since. I don't recommend earldom brand though.

Basically you might want to look for cable with 20 AWG rating for QC2.0 to work. Lower AWG gives you lower resistance, hence better conductivity. Any micro USB cable with this rating or lower will do.

Been using dual sim for awhile and noticed ..

Slot 1 = Lte, 3g
Slot 2 = 2g

Anyway to make slot 2 at least 3g? 2g make the network connection almost 98% at 0 signal bar
*
afaik, sadly there's no way to make both active sims to have both 3g at least.

Yes. Can't change that due to the chipset.

However, the new note 7 has the capability of 4g+3g. But Samsung not yet implement that. According to report, Samsung will provide update before end of year. By that time, note 7 should be able to 4g+3g.
*
Thanks for the info biggrin.gif Now I'm contemplating between Note7 and LG V20.

true but hopefully not laugh.gif

currently grace UX ports have so many issues due to incompatible kernel codes.

like ytd i tried to flash 1 of the UX roms, flash toggle doesnt work and it crashes the system UI

but i did manage to taste grace UX a little bit.. im really really impressed

super clean UI!

but now i reverted back to stock for the sake of stability
*
odd... there's a zip file to fix that for grace ui on my s6e+. pretty sure it's available for Note5 too... But I guess u r right, better wait for the official rom.

Ok I decided to bite the bullet. Loaded the firmware on my Malaysian N9208 and first thing I noticed was Smart Manager has become device maintenance, with more options to control like changing batt save mode settings.

1080p display resolution is supported now. Not bad!
*
Love the 1080p display res addition. Nice move Sammy. Did we already get the grace UX interface before Nougat? Or it just came along with Nougat?

Nope, this is the first time I am seeing this new interface on my Note 5. Marshmallow firmwares had the Touchwiz look.

I see. I think I'm deeply falling in love with this new interface. It's the first time in my life buying an android phone without using nova as the main launcher.

Galaxy Note 5 ( nougat) vs Galaxy S8+ Speedtest comparison
Seriously the Note 5 remain as great as ever especially with Nougat firmware
Owners can still be proud owing this phone. Upgrading to Nougat is a MUST I must say to enjoy the phone much more

In fact my Note 5 is now on S8+ modded firmware and seriously I do find it much smoother n responsive vs the Nougat ( Philipines version). I was only on Philippines Nougat firmware for only 2 days

Nice... Mind telling which Rom are you using? Is it fully magisk rooted? Does the ROM pass safety net check?

Infinity S8+ modded rom with Spen n S7E features : latest 9 Apr build
You can choose super SU or magisk root during setup. I chose plain old simple supersu
Safety net?? What is that?

I see. Thanks for sharing biggrin.gif. Will give it a shot.

If you can pass safety net, you can use android pay with root. Though I dont think that applies to Samsung pay, and android pay is practically useless here.

I had no interest in using the phone to make any payment. So I had never even bother to activate Samsung pay

Yeah, seeing you taking full supersu route and not knowing safety net bypass check I already expected as much. Thanks for the recommendation biggrin.gif.

Nope..now trying to do a factory wipe. If it still doesn't work then gotta flash back to Marshmallow.

Does anyone has the latest Marshamallow tar file to flash? Other sites are very slow.

Factory reset and data wipe does not work too. Now looking for Marshmallow firmware and see how it goes.
Very specific case. My sis using same Umobile as me has no issue with her GPS at all after updating to Nougat.

Anyone has Marshmallow N9208XXS3BQA6?
*
I see. Hopefully Samsung will issue an update for this fix soon. Would love to help but I only have s6e+ marshmallow T_T, and its old build.
