JDP121 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I just got updated to ZVE and went into ##DATA# and noticed that the BSRTimer was still at 3000. I thought it was supposed to update that? Same here just updated to ZVE about 7 hrs ago or so and mine still at 3000 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After updating my phone to ZVE, my BSRTimer was as 1 (in the view mode). BUT I don't have my MSL, so I don't know what it actually is....

scottm48 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I know my msl for ages now. Just dont know what to change it to. I think the general consensus a few pages back was to change it to 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascertion Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Update profile once you're on ZVE. Should overwrite with correct settings. Sent from my LG-LS980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MkVsTheWorld Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yeah, I've rooted it and flashed a few Roms already. Every ROM so far has GPS working. (Stock ZVD, AICP, SlimROM, and Liquidsmooth.) Received my G2 back from LG yesterday. They said they found no problem with the GPS. Hmmmmm. It started working again right before I sent it in. It'll probably fail again after a few weeks of use like it always does. Since they put a new board and new screen in last time, it's probably the connectors on the back cover for the GPS antenna. What a poor design! Did the ZVE update help with GPS locks and the consistency? I ultimately gave up on the LG G2, begrudgingly. I had bought the Verizon variant (VS980) on sale back when Big Red first unveiled their new prepaid plan. I really, really, really liked the LG G2, but GPS locks were taking 1-2 minutes sometimes. That's a deal breaker in DC and Baltimore. You can't pullover on the shoulder to wait on a GPS fix because the driver's here are lunatics lol. So, I asked to make a return well after their 14-day return policy and they refunded me my money. Granted, I was still in my 60 day window which I could dispute the transaction on my credit card. Anyways, I'm glad to see better results on the Sprint variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is a hardware related problem, as I factory reset the phone and installed nothing and still had the GPS issue. To answer your question. I don't know if ZVE did anything. My G2 is still in the box that LG shipped it back to me in. I loved the G2, but gave up on it. I am using a G3 now that has a fantastic GPS. Tried to get a Nexus 6 today, but they sold out.

Works good for me on stock ZVE. Ever since the repair took place I've had consistent GPS. Only other time I had issue was on custom ROMs. Sent from my LG-LS980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's basically the same as what happened with me. They poorly designed the LG G2 in that regard. I've heard good things about the LG G3 GPS performance on other forums too. In addition, my Nexus 5 also had GPS issues, but after sending it back to Google for RMA, I got a replacement back that works right. So, maybe it was a growing pain at LG? I'm planning on keeping my Nexus 5 since the GPS actually works. I'll hold out on the Nexus 6 until it comes down in price. I'm done with buying new phones for a while lol.

I definitely don't blame you for holding off on buying new phones. Unfortunately the consumers are the new "Beta Testers". The manufacturers slop this stuff out on the market faster than they bother to test it. The consumers report the issues, and if we are lucky, the manufacturer may fix it. I can't believe that LG could not duplicate the GPS issue with my particular unit on its second repair trip to Texas. The first repair, they replaced a board and the screen (which I didn't even think had an issue). It was a real shame with the G2. It was the perfect size for me. Eventually, LG got it sounding pretty good as well with all the updates, but without the GPS it is a no go for me! I guess, I'll use it for a trade-in sometime soon, or sell it on ebay fully disclosing the issue with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dleewee Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 It's weird, I've read a lot about people with GPS issues but I've never had the problem with mine. I use GPS quite a bit and always seem to get very quick results, equal to my S3. I do remember the horrible GPS on the Epic 4g, and I honestly thought those days were behind us.

Hard to tell in a mature market. I will say that a certain stretch of a road I travel I can maintain the signal where I normally lose it. But I wouldn't go off of that if I were you.

Calvin200 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I changed it from 3000 to 3, maybe I should have waited more than a few hours after I got the ZVE update. I had no problem getting my MSL, I just explained that I needed the number to change the BSR so my LTE would work better and I needed the MSL to do that.

blakebaa Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I haven't updated to ZVE firmware yet. Are there improvements on LTE connectivity and worth updating to? I have had LTE in one of my classes ever since the update. Before that I only got it near the windows, it's nearly an 8dbm difference. And yes, it is and always has been B26. Also, long time no see!

Medalot Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Ever since the ZVE update, I've noticed that I haven't had as much of problem with he microphone not working and requiring toggle of the Voice enhancement function.

Calvin200 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 After changing my BSR Timer I noticed that although my LTE stayed on more I had to toggle, less often though when I had to toggle to get LTE, to get faster speeds and to get rid of stalled loading.
