GPS Issue... Please help! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Is there a GPS fix for the Sprint Note 3?
For some reason my GPS has not been able to get my exact location . It is always searching. I tried TopNTP app and other apps similar to it and it didn't work for me. I noticed that the GPS wasn't working properly after root, using Towelroot.

Thanks but that app didn't work. It showed all the satellites I could connect with, but it wasn't able to fix the issue. The app showed 17 satellites and I can't connect to 1.

Ok after further looking, my gps.conf file is not right. Also the gps.conf.bak is corrupted.
Any suggestions on getting these fixed?

It shouldn't take a couple of days, it should update within about ten minutes, just make sure you have internet connection and rebooting may help

A location would help. If your location is listed someone local can try on their handset and then be able to tell you if the market is down or if you have a software issue.
Neumarkt Ontario ok for market and updates of apps.

Try moving next door. Seriously. I have that exact problem when I'm round my neighbour's house... market works, browsers work, but try to download an app and it just sticks at 2%... back home and it works fine! Oh, and it's not signal, as I have full bars in both houses.

I want to uninstall market, and reinstall it, but i can't find the apk anywhere!
Any idea where I can get one?
just add my personal note that mine worked on wifi but not 3g. turned out that the apn automatically received from my carrier (mobilicity) is the problem. i deleted the apn and created my own now market works normally on 3g too
cheers
mine as now updated to the new market and as yet no problems

Time Warner Cable (TWC) app for ICS and LiveTV Root workaround

Found this thread on xda's "Droid RAZR General" forum that mentions conflicting results with a workaround for the TWC app preventing the livetv feature if you have root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604411
Just want to point out that on my AT&T NOTE (Seraphim First Flight ROM) renaming the /system/app/Superuser.apk then clearing the TWC app from memory was successful. Was then able to use the TWC Live TV feature.
A script to do this automatically is probably warranted but I'm sure some of the great minds here on xda will beat me to it !
Worked fine for me on DAGr8 alpha II, no moding needed
Just wonder if any way to get live TV working when off my home wifi network.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Anyone tried "hide my root" for this? I can't test it since I don't live in a TWC services area.
Cheers

renamed it to just "SU"... as long as its not "superuser" the app wont see it
So I downloaded it, went to install and it won't let me click install, I can only click cancel?!? Install doesn't highlight or respond. I've had this happen with random apps off the amazon appstore as well. Wtf?

I've had this happen a few times as well... Fix permissions for market and clear data after having to force close the app has always worked for me.

What kind of carrier do you have ?
I tried use PDAnet+ and foxfi, both of them doesn't work.
MIP error 64 ?
Haven't found a working hot spot without root sorry.
But it is possible to get root and not flip a knox flag.

You cannot.
You'll need to read the forum threads.
Everything you want to know is easy to find by just browsing/searching.

Tethering

Anybody know of an app or something that will allow free tethering? Running stock room but rooted.

I've used FoxFi in the past and it worked well until I got my Mega. I've heard that a fix is to boot into recovery and clear the cache partition but it is failing for me.

Stop the native WiFi tethering client running and use Mobile Hotspot from the play store. Use the one with the green droid peering at you from the bottom of the app icon. When settings fail just ignore.

Tried that. It still says "Dial 611 and sign up for teathering service" when I try to activate. Same thing with FoxFi... :crying:
i have found apps for free tethering.. See google play store.

No bueno. With that app I still get "Mobile hotspot is unavailable. To enable mobile hotspot on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611". And the little green dude spins forever when I click "Ok".

ok. No tension. I will try next only for you..
If you are on ATT, it comes with a Mobile Hotspot app....unless you turned it off.
Once you go in to the app, it will have to be configured and assigned a name. You will be given a password to use.
It works very well. I use my Mega as a hotspot for my wifi Tab 3. Just have to remember that while it's on, you will be using your data!
