I guess I am a novice.

i also have a sprint note2. and it's never had a problem. i use the sprint phone in the same manner as you. but only for copilot, truckgps, sygic, and a few other things. i don't really use google on it. but when i do. it has no problem functioning.
sprint is my gps tablet. UNACTIVATED. verizon is my activated phone. and the software between the 2 phones is totally different. in how they operate.
BTW. both phones are version 7.,7. and i have the play stores setting to NOT update my apps. i see no need for constant updates to any given app. every day. i have more of my internet to use for my needs also. instead of being used up for updates.Gulf Thanks this. -
I successfully rooted the Note 2 but may have run into some trouble installing Safestrap. When I open Safestrap there is no "stock" to boot to. From the instructions, The ROM slot should be set to stock. But I go into available ROM's and "stock" is not highlighted, I can't click on it, and now I can't get back to any kind of screen to use the phone. I hope this doesn't mean it's a brick now.
Edit: I was able to get it back through Safestrap system reboot. -
Never used Safestrap. But I also had my Note 2 rooted before they put out the update with KNOX. Does the method you used to root trip KNOX?

cowboy_tech Thanks this. -
Good to hear they got a work around on that. Tripping KNOX cannot be undone.

Lg g2 vzw kit kat plus, lg g3 vzw kit kat, nexus 4 kit kat tmo & nexus 7 lte tmo all rooted no issues with gps & or gmaps. (Yes I'm a device *****, yes I hate samsung )I personally would never use my tablet or phones for a pure navigation device. Never designed to b gps device. The only thing I'm not liking on newest map update 8.2.0 is the annoying message to enable wifi Hate that. Also have copilot standard version set up with rv specs only have that because maps are dl to my device like 1.5gb in size and it doesn't need cellular to get directions.
