hi. im ador eligio. from philippines. I have a very big problem with my samsung galaxy note 3 sm-n9005 jetblack 32gb. I just purchased this smart phone last august 11, 2014. at first, the phone seems to function well. And just 2 days ago I found out that the maps application is not accurate, cant get a lock to its gps signal. If i turn on its wifi and GPS and accessed the maps application , the application points my location to POLAND. It always points there to that country. the only remedy that I found out is to restart or reboot the phone. and after a reboot it functions normal again and after 5mins of using maps it will point me again to POLAND. the GN3 sm-n9005 is ANDROID 4.4.3 KITKAT out of the box baseband version is N9005ZHUENA6. yesterday I decided to download the official firmware 4.4.2 (philippines) to downgrade my note3 because of that annoying maps application thats not fucntioning well. i used odin3 v3.07 but came out an error while flashing. now im stucked up in the screen "FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE. as i have read the forums they term it as SOFT BRICK. Ive tried different solutions and remedy to get back my note3 functioning again. but still no luck. PLS HELP ME. U CAN EMAIL YOUR SOLUTION TO THIS ADD. [email protected]. Thanks in Advance.

Hello.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500. I got it about 2 years ago. About a year after purchase I rooted the phone to install a backup software, but I did not know that rooting would disable software updates and when I found out that S4 had gotten the Lolipop update but my phone wouldn't show anything for two months, I decided to install the "original" Lolipop from Samsung. I found it on a website which I do not remember anymore.
Well here's where the problem starts - Apparently my phone was from Korea and it was imported to India. As a result of me installing an OS made for India on a Korean phone, the SIM wouldn't work and the OS ran very crappily. I got the SIM unlocked by an operator but the OS just sucks really bad. It gets stuck very often, apps close randomly and they behave as if they have been relaunched every 5-10 mins. Sometimes if I'm playing music the player will stop mid-track and I have to press play again. The menu and homescreen also do the same thing, keep behaving as if they have been relaunched every few minutes or every time I unlock the screen.
Any idea what I can do to fix my phone? I'm ready to go back to a previous version of android if that means a smooth, non-annoying experience.
Check your actual version of the stock rom from sammobile.com. Download the correct stock rom and re flash through Odin
Thanks, but I just ended up installing CyanogenMod and gotta say I'm more than happy with it :3
- HI, I'm not sure what is wrong with my tablet. I have a Samsung Tab E which was bought in Jan 31 of 2017 Model number SM-
T560NU with the following specs .
Kerner version
3.10.49-12379902
[email protected] # 1
Build Number
NMF26X.T650NUUEU1CQJ3
It will randomly restart itself and boot back up. Once I had it turned of for the night only to find it was turned on when I woke up in the morning. It shuts down randomly for no reason. I have tried the follow:
Wipe Cach
Factory Reset
I didn't install any apps on the tablet and just used a boot logger to see when it crashes.
I don't know what to do with it, I tried contact Samsung for a repair but they only use Fed-ex shipping labels and Fed-ex will not pick it up for me and its over a 1400 km return trip to drop it of at a Fed-ex location, Yes i live in a rural place in Newfoundland Canada. ...
Any help on this would be great,
Is there any apps that track and show you what causes the crashes?
TIA
Hi , if you have a pc with internet search on the internet stock firmware for your device and your region , download Odin , put your phone in Download mode and flash it .

Hi ..
I have tried this method already, I installed the (T560NUUEU1CQJ3) version of Android 7.1.1 and the problem still came back. Now, knock on wood I flashed it with Odin to android 6.1.1 (T560NUUEU1BPF5) so far it has gone 18 hours with out crashing, i'll provide and update on how long it stays running.
If it is a firmware issue with samsung it really sucks as I would love to be running Android 7.1.1
Thanks for you input, much appreciated
Hi once again , did you tried with 4 file repair firmware for your device maybe that will solve your problem . Search over the internet if is available for your device and your region.
Hi. What's the advantage of this over Odin? It seems to be the same process. What am I missing?
Update. 6.0.1 ran for 36 hours and did not crashnthe tablet. I then updates to the newest 7.1.1 and so far after 12 hours no crashes.
Hello everyone. I have a samsung galaxy s7 edge (SM G935F) and i recently received the android 8.0.0 from samsung. Downloaded and installed directly via the cellphone.
But after updating i am getting this internet/connection drop issues a lot.
Now a lot of times when im connected in wifi or using the 4g mobile internet, im getting a lot of internet lag/drops. Example: at whatsapp, when i sens a message, the clock appears and only after a little rhe time the message is send.
Example 2: at facebook, somerimes it lags and takes too long to load the content (same happening in instagram). Or at clash of clans, it is showing that symbol of internet issue.
Besides those internet bugs/lags, the android 8.0.0 is ok.
I already did a factory reset yesterday via the phone, and saved the files with smart switch. But the problem persists. I also checked and my wifi internet and my mobile internet are ok.
Does anyone knows how to fix this issue? Is there a newer version of the ROM, maybe? Or if not, is ir possible to downgrade to android 7 again (really wouldnt like this option but....)?
If anyone could help that would be great. But for the record:im really newbie at android stuffs....if you can help, please could you explain step by step?
Thanks everyone

I have the same phone but in my region the OTA 8.0 upgrade didn't arrive yet so I took a french official 8.0 for SM-G935F and installed it. After about one week I can tell it works like a charm and even better than before with the Marshmallow firmware. I don't see a solution with your specific connection problem but I can try to find and bring you the OS that I downloaded and used if you want.

NO, i can't seem to remember where i downloaded the firmware from, but I am sure it wasn't from Sammobile because it take ages to download. But I still have it on my laptop so I'm uploading the .rar on mediafire.
All you have to do:
Get Odin
Get the ROM (extract it separately, you should see the AP, BL, CP, CSC components)
Cause I am a new user on the forum it doesn't allow me to post external links so let's get around that:
type in w w w. mediafire . com /file / tx3676bj71vz17f/G935FXXU2ERD5_G935FOXA2ERD5_BTU.zip (copy paste and remove all the spaces)
Activate USB debugging (google that, you can get it in 30 secs)
press and hold power+home_button+volum_down then press volume_up when it asks you to confirm that you know what you're doing.
Open Odin, you should see that your phone is recognized (in the top left rectangle it shows COM something.
Add the AP, BL, CP and CSC from the folder to Odin by pressing the specific buttons and then selecting them, wait between them if necessary, it will tell you.
Make sure re partition is not ticked in the options tab.
after everytihng is ready, click start and wait some time.
When it is done you should see PASS in green and your phone restarting.\
From there you just have to configure your new OS. Bare in mind that you should know the google acc and password that you had on the phone before, else it will get FRP locked.
Hope this helps, If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Hello. You may think the thread is revising some of those in this forum, but i browsed a lot couldnt find proper answer for my issue.
My galaxy C5000 running on Android 8.0 now. 2 years i have been using it upgrading periodically from android 6. i never had issues with finger print before. The phone never rooted.
few month ago upgraded to android 8.0 was working well then another update came by samsung saying some kind of security and other update patches so i did it. i guess after that my phone started indicating popups fingerprint sensor not responding if you see it repeatedly restart the phone. i did several times sometimes worked sometimes not. then i did firmware installation and reset via odin which downloaded samsung official site as i know. after it worked for some days but now not responding. now sometimes fingerprint starts working by itself and the stops again. i cannot identify whether its a phsyical damage or software problem. now the questions are:
1) is it a software or a hardware problem?
2) can it be related to last security update pach (with the volume of up to 200 mb) which was after android 8.0 installation?
3) can reverse back to android 7 from android 8?
Thank you for your patience and help.
Hello, i have a problem with samsung alpha on 4.4.4. kitkat. When i try to use google maps, if i click on directions and select car, application will crash. If i select bus, it will sometimes crash. If i select walking, it will never crash and normaly show path. If i upgrade application, it doesnt crash but instead locks up and heats the mobile phone a lot.
What i tried so far:
1) gps on/off, tried using only wifi/mobile data
2) tried all 4 versions of 4.4.4 for my country, first and latest update
3) it works fine on 5.0.2, though i want to remain on 4.4.4
4) tried resetting gps
5) tried rooting phone, uninstalling app completely and reinstalling it, doesnt help
6) tried like a 100 different stock roms from different countries and couldnt get a single 1 to work, they all fail or go into infinite boot loop
Please help me with my problem. I really like this phone and would hate it to leave a bad taste because if this 1 problem. Btw, the only roms that work for my phone are on the link below. I tried other links from my country (branded ones, not opened ones) and nothing works. I want to remain on stock rom btw.

Google maps does the same for me. It hangs when I click on 'directions'. I have a Samsung Galaxy ACE4 SM-G357FZ with Android 4.4.4. It started happening to me a few months ago. I thought it was because my phone has only 1GB RAM, and I removed or disabled every app that I don't use regularly, but it didn't help. I switched to Sygic GPS. It is better than google for walking, and it works OK for driving, but I miss not having the bus and subway schedules on google maps. I don't have the option of updating to 5. As far as I know, the last update was a Jan 2017 security update of 4.4.4. I have a Nexus 7 tablet. Updating it from Android 4.4 to 5 made it so slow it is useless.
" though i want to remain on 4.4.4"
why?
Try the workaround posted 7/6/19 here: support.google.com/maps/thread/9075511
Or reverting to previous version of the app posted 2/17/20 here: support.google.com/maps/thread/3592231
