Hey Everyone,
A few quick Q's with regards to GNSS on the S3 i would really appreciate some answers.
1 - I've noticed from the ifixit teardown that the S3 uses that same GNSS chip as the galaxy note. On the Galaxy note, while the accuracy was quite good, the accuracy reported in apps could only be a multiple of 5 meaning that accuracy could never be better that 5m. Is this true in the S3, if so is there a way to get around this?
2 - Does the S3 use both GPS and GLONASS at the same time, or does it just use GLONASS when GPS is bad?
3 - In general how good is the gps? If you have the time, could you post some GPS test screens, please?
Cheers

One of the features I'm looking to use on the Xperia Z Ultra is ANT+ wireless sensors for cycling. The specs for this phone state that this is a feature yet my new phone does not seem to have ANT+. Anyone know anything about this?
Thanks
Dave
Check the Play Market.
Yeah, I've tried installing the ANT+ radio service from the Play market but it will not work. I have an Xperia Active with ANT+ and it works perfectly and is easy to setup new connections.

I'm having the exact same problem... when I open mapmyride I can only see the sensor for BT Heatrate straps but nothing for Ant+
Specs for the new Xperia Z1 indicate that it also has ANT+. Hopefully Sony will enable this on our phones soon.

Hi Guys,
I'm also an avid cyclist using Garmin Ant+ heartbelt direct to my trusty old wornout Xperia S and also Xperia Ion too.
Many say BT4.0 LE still has cutoff issues, and Ant+ batt last forever in heartbelt.....
I understand from speaking to shops that the LTE version has Ant+, but many said the 3G version does not. The SnapDragon 800 does have Ant+ feature in chip, there was some debate if 3G version uses this chip. Sony really should fully enable these by firmware if possible.
PS: The bluetooth signal needs to be switched on to enable Ant+.
Hope any of you could provide your experience of workability or lack off, thanks.
Bump. Still no ANT+ after the .526 update.
If anyone with a new C6833 4G phone is able to test ANT+ functionality for me it would be greatly appreciated.
Hello all,
I have bought a HDC Galaxy Note 3 N9006 1:1 Quad Core model.
The specs are:
MTK6582 Quad cores 1.3GHz Cortex A9+SGX544 GPU
Ram : 1GB
Rom : 4GB(Support TF Card up to32GB)
And i have a few problems with the device..
First of all, the biggest problem is the battery life.. The phone is on for about 1 up to 2 hours of semi-heavy usage. The screen brightness is set to the lowest one and still the battery life is really low. I dont know whether this is a software fault or the chinese battery is simply crap, so i dont know if there is any point in buying a genuine Samsung Galaxy Note 3 battery.
Secondly, i have an error on some of my apps saying that "Google services that some of your apps rely on, is not supported by your device.. ( screenshot included)" Does anyone know how to fix this problem on this HDC model?
Thirdly for some reason i keep on getting a message about roaming, ( i cant see the message fully, screenshot included) and i have to register my network again for it to disappear for a short period of time and then i have to repeat the same process again.
Lastly, i cannot update my youtube application and i get an error saying that i need to uninstall the previous version of the app. But the problem is that it wont let me delete the previous version.
I have searched everywhere to find the solution for this but i couldnt find anything, some say that a root will help but i have no idea how to root this phone, software wise etc.
I am new to this forum and im sorry if i posted in the wrong place.
Thank you in advance.

Yes, you are in the wrong forum, this is only a fake N9006! You should have also tried first to search about the same thing before posting again here!
Trying to install original Note 3 ROMs will very likely hard-brick your clone.
Your device however might be the same as the one discussed in this thread, so you should eventually look for more details there:

Mate, people on this forum own Note 3's, we have no idea...
Why don't you check with where you bought it? They should have more answers...
Otherwise, find a friend or person who has a Note 3 and ask to check...

Hate to say this, but your phone is a FAKE Note 3, not a clone.
If your phone was a clone, it would be identical in every way to
the real thing which would include the same specifications.
Clones are identical to the original Samsung Note 3, your phone
is nothing like the original except for the physical appearance.
As far as I know, there is NO such thing as a CLONE Galaxy Note 3.
Good luck!
Hi all,
Looking at picking up a Redmi 5 Plus but have seen some reports of poor GPS performance. Is this still true. Anyone having troubles or is it a non issue?
Anyone? After three lousy Samsung* GPS phones in the family, a poor GPS is a first class dealbreaker.
(looking for the Global Version of the Note 5)
* Samsung S5 mini, both (yes, both) are lousy, as is the A3 2016. My S4 from 2014 or so is magnitudes better (but will no longer work together with maps) rendering navigating hardly possible with all our phones...

You should try getting root access with magisk and give a try to the module called Global Optimized GPS File Replacer and follow its instructions for getting it to work flawlessly. Good luck.
As you might all know , Not all Snapdragon 8 Gen2 come with same Bluetooth/ Wi-Fi hardware modem
Some are fast connect 6900 " Wi-Fi 6e" some with fast connect 7800 " Wi-Fi 7" and others use other modems with only Wi-Fi 6 like Vevo & IQ phones
can we know which Modem that S23 Ultra uses , may be by looking into drivers or system dumb of its software ?
Well searching online, according to Qualcomm themselves, the gen 2 for galaxy will have both. According to other sources the S22 Ultra is the one that has Fast Connect 7800, but at the same time I cant find a source that says the S23 Ultra supports Wifi 7. I tried checking on my phone with multiple apps, and secret Samsung codes however I cant find the Bluetooth or Wifi modem.

Yup that is the point , why they put Fast connect 7800 in it and increase cost if they didn't enable WiFi 7 , they could have used only the 6900 model like they did with the S23+ & normal S23, that is why I think that all 3 models have Fast connect 6900 and the mentioning of 7800 was a typo in the article

But that's a very good question of yours, there should definitely be an app or adb command or something like that to see which modem your phone has am curious now

OnePlus 11 has wifi 7 disabled too... It will be enabled later. Maybe the same for Sammy.

After some search I found that Wi Fi 7 certifications , specs & Standard won't be ready until mid 2024 , meaning that current wifi 7 ready devices might not benefit from full set of features after Wi Fi 7 launch

I don't know if the drivers or modem files are actually opensource files so we can dig into it.

I remember the same thing happened before may be 12 years ago on a device called HTC HD2 it was WiFi N ready , and it was enabled via software update later when Wifi N certifications completed , also for google nexus 4 it was 4g ready and enabled a year after via software update

Confirmed from S23 ultra teardown
It has Qualcomm Fastconnect 7800
But not sure if it is the international version or US version only
Galaxy S23 Ultra Chip ID
Chip ID for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra...
www.ifixit.com
I can only speak to the WiFi 6/6e part of this and I can tell you that my S23U connects to 6/6e as well as my wife's S22U. Matter of fact, my Z Fold 3 worked fine on 6/6e both.
I can confirm us version contains fastconnect 7800 under wcn7851. Basic support for wifi 7 is there, but the full capabilities likely won't be realized in android 13. Current patches for android 14 show progress for wifi-7 and relevant drivers.
Samsung does have a history of disabling features if they're unstable or caused by hardware defects.
On Qualcomm's devices finder page, it is mentioned that S23U uses 7800, S23 and S23+ use 6900
According to Xiaomi's official information, it is mentioned that after WIFI7 is not open, OTA updates will be open, and I think the same will be the case for Samsung.

Qualcomm website isn't accurate , last year they said the same about the S22 series , but it was discovered that the Wi-Fi ship in S22 ultra was Broadcom not Qualcomm and the only device that have Qualcomm was the normal S22 ,
I know that this year is different & in their website they are mentioning the US version of the S23U not the world wide Version and there is not a single source mentioning that the global version is Using Qualcomm latest tech till now, and from years of experience with Samsung products not all versions have same motherboard components , even Screens and Memory chips sometimes are different between versions
Sure it doesn't matter at this stage , it's full potential is anyway not fully unlocked but it is good to know that your device maybe be better future proofed
