This trick did it all for my GPS even with the location set at Device only and my data plan off it lock on satellite in second.... great fix :good:

LG should be responsible to fix this for people who do not want to open the back cover (the fix should be free)
In my case flashing my G2 to v20H was the solution for the gps fixing issue which I had only on v20D.

Hello xda devs,
plenty of times this pages have give me the answer to my Android questions. Thanks for that. Today here my problem :
I got to have a "cheap" chinese phone, a replic. of a HTC sensation (box say Star a3...) with already IceCream.
I have it as a second phone: running, swimming pool, often lying in the car...
the problem I have, is that form time to time, the phone lose the sound. Never-mind I change to silent and back to normal; never-mind apps like "Wired Headset Routing Toggle"; never-mind if it is the music playing, the incoming call's ring, or the morning alarm. The problem persist ...
I hadn't found what causes the sound to disappear, but the only option to get it back working is to reset the phone, very often only after unplugging the battery and turn it on again (software restart often do not solve the problem)
Something "funny", when the sound get lost, the back speaker emits a "dik-dik-dik" very low instead of the expected sound.
seems to be nothing about hardware, because a reset makes it working again, but neither a software because just restarting the phone often so not solve the problem...
does anybody knows something about it that can light me up a little ?
as said, I have it as a second phone (first is a real sensation) so my arm-band, car dock and so is reusable, so I wish not to "return and get back the money paid", but trying to make it work.
Hi, you dont look on Chinese phone forum? Look around gooigle for some forum and look for an update for your handy. When you dont found a rom,look for the same on your handy and flash it. Maybe my answer help. And you need to find many answer for your handy, because its a cheap copy and make a long way around the world from china.

yes, indeed I did google for it before posting here, but no luck. And I thought that maybe somebody have experience the same with a similar mobile...
As far as I can see, there is only one ICS room for that phone, that was born by a russian team, and later continued in china, which it was installed in my phone.
You look in chinamobiles.org. They're very helpful.

I have BL unlocked and rooted my Atrix. I was on the NoAttachTrix ROM. All of a sudden, there is no sound all together. No ringtones, no notifications, NADA. I thought it was just the speakers, but plugging in the earphones also doesn't help. (Similar to http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/rescue-squad/9226-no-sound-all.html?)
Tried different ROMs - No go.
Tried Wiping system, cache (Dalvik) and data - and installed new ROM. Still no go.
Any ideas? Has anyone hit this yet? Would reverting back to a stable AT&T ROM help (Mine was the ATT version). Everything else works, it's just the sound. I'm not sure if it's hardware/software. But my guts say it is the software..

Unfortunately I cannot help, but I have a similar problem.
It started for me after upgrading epinters cm10.1 in early august. The earpiece stopped working. First I thought of a hardware problem (I had a defy before) but the earpiece came back for short time after a full wipe, then went mute after a few calls. I went back to noattachtrix ROM but the earpiece still is not working. Now the speaker has no sound, but sometimes, when i use a different app to play a tune it comes back and after that all other software using the speaker (like instant buttons) work too. Until, you may have guessed it, the speaker refuses to work again.
I don't think it is broken hardware, it is more likely a problem switching the hardware on and off.
Anyway, I was not able to find a solution - I need help - thank you.
Maybe if you try to return to stock it might get up again

In another forum I found a solution for the speaker. Twist the phone like a wet towel and the speaker will most likely come back. If it fails again after a few minutes you have rotten contacts and need either a new speaker or clean the old one.
Worked for me.

Update. I bought a new earpiece which comes together with the front camera and put it in. It was really easy to do. Took me less than 10 minutes. Everything works, only the earpiece stays mute.
The problem seems to be on the software side.

Hi all,
while investigating how to build a car mount, I've been looking at threads on the net about disassembling the tablet S.
A few of these mention that there is a place to fit a 3G module to the motherboard. Wondering if anyone has tried this? I've seen second-hand modules for sale on ebay, wonder would it require some additional software to run one.
cheers for reading
redd .
on a side note, i bought this tablet, used, last week. im loving it! its a lovely thing, im most pleased.
You may able to add this via otg but you need a slot for sim card

Im not sure but you might need to flash a 3g-wifi rom as your current firmware is probably wifi only
However im not sure on the kernal side of things if there are any changes needed

I need a new strap - where/ when can I get one?
(Required because I too have the GPS antenna issue, and in trying to fix it, I made a FU)
Nothing at the pearl.de store, where chargers are available. Still no sign of the support outlets Le Pen once talked of...
I think Lokifish once mentioned he is on his third set. (?)
not a new to buy but a way to repair it or make a new on your own. From a german talking forum... Use Google to translate when needed.

You could try MTK Suite.

I've had very good GPS on this device, what region are you in - I'm in the United Kingdom so if region makes a difference I'd be interested to know.
I'm also struggling with GPS on this device. After the 419 ota update I had no GPS at all but after doing a factory reset I get GPS but it keeps dropping out.

GPS issue in South France
Hi guys
Got the same problem with the gps,
It can't get satellite signal (or loses it during the trip)
My car is shown outside the road and/or on another street/road
The speed changes every second while I'm driving with the speed control of my car.
It's the very very bad point of this phone (for the moment at least)
postimg.org/image/aojifnye9
this is one sample how stupidly gps works on this phone , worst ever, lucky i got old BT gps receiver, never thought i will be forced to use it - i was not moving using mapmywalk - ive tryed all MTK fixes, suites, tests etc - got plenty satelites but still getting this stupid result - it finds satelites and than drop them to repeat this endlessly - i guess theres no way that we will be able to fix it , its up to Elephone guys
sry to not post picture propertly, i am not alowed.

I have the same problem in France with the last update the GPS is very poor
1. Disable GPS in preferences
2. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cochibo.gpsstatus
3. Open the APP and reset GPS
4. Enable GPS, restart your desired app
Works perfectly here with stock rom 2016.04.19
Elephone P9000 GPS Problem with Running Apps
I too am having a GPS problems on my Elephone P9000 in the UK and I mostly want to use the GPS to track my running.
It will pick up the satellites but quickly loses them. This is making the phone almost useless for any running app . At the moment I'm also wearing a Microsoft Band 2 which has it's own GPS (but not AGPS) and I'm using fitbit or endomondo on the elephone P9000. I'm therefore getting side by side comparisons of my routes (Microsoft band 2 GPS versus Elephone P9000 GPS). The Elephone P9000 GPS tracking, zig zags a bit (as it loses GPS signal) and has even tracked me going in a small circle when I was in fact going straight up my road! This is resulting in the P9000 showing my distances as much further than they actually are (due to zig zag/errors). Conversely, the Microsoft Band 2 holds it GPS signal much better and the track it shows much more accurately shows where I've walked/run.
I'm very frustrated. I've only just got this phone and was previously ( up t end of April 2016) using an LG G2 running Fitbit / Endomondo with no probems at all. The moment I changed to the Elephone P9000 both applications started showing these problems.
I've tried the GPS fixes, e.g. getting an app to reset the GPS and download a fresh AGPS table before starting up but this does not seem to help at all.
I hope Elephone can fix this P9000 GPS problem as without this I may need to go back to my LG G2 for my running.

I solved this problem by copying the directory / data / misc two EPO.DAT and EPO.md5 files. obviously the phone is rooted

I have same issue with GPS. It fix with no problem, but it have really poor quality. I'am using my phone as flying instrument for Paragliding, and accurate GPS is need for me.
Is your "EPO.DAT and EPO.md5" method, really solution for this issue?
If yes, could you please help me out, how exactly fix it?
on MTK devices i saw this behaviour mayn times.
for example for the p6000 , p7000 , m2 , k4000pro , p8000 and p9000
the mtk gps chip is not that good. it works in most regions . but users in germany (including me)
have weak gps connection. there is not much we can do .
personally i use google maps and that works for me very well.
i also tried navigon and copilot but they always lose gps signal...

Yes, the quality of GPs is not good. I resolved as I said.:
Copy the two files downloaded separately in the directory / data / misc and restart the device.
Obviously you have to have the phone with root permissions.
