My g1 have big problem, it loss signal all day, most the time. I tried turn on air plane mode and turn off, or retart the phone, wipe, up another rom, up newest radio version, use 2g network only. But it doesn't work.
It loss signal random, i can't control or do something to have signal again. even i change many other sim cards. but i discover one thing: seem this problem related air plane mode. because in some rom version, i turned off air plane mode but it didnt, even i restart my phone it still on. i must take out the battery for long time and put it again.
Some time it have signal again but it only for short time.
How can i fix this problem, please help me.
please someone can help me. my phone isn't a phone anymore
hhmmm...Try to upgrade to the latest radio for g1. If that doesn't help, maybe your rom has messed up apn settings or the service in your area dropped.

I can add few things to this since I experience loss of signal multiple times every day:
I have 2 G1s. On both of them it happens:
1. Using different ROMS (CM, Super-D, OpenEclair)
2. Using different recoveries (RA 1.5.2 and 1.6.2)
3. At different times of the day
4. Using different radios (older radio and the newest one, sorry I can never remember the numbers)
5. Across different states ( I took one of them thru 5 different states and it kept loosing signal)
What happens is that I start a program that requires data (twidroid, FB, Gmail, Market) and I see my connection get stuck on the uplink, go away completely and restart the radio. Another way it will do it, is that it will stay on blank screen (or downloading screen) and there will be no uplink or downlink shown)
Tried: wiping, re-flashing radio, re-flashing rom, getting rid of few apps.
Anyone with any insight on this? I can get a log next time this happens if anyone wants to take a look.
Thank!
i tried many diferent rom, radio, and recorvery too. but it still doesn't work?
Now i discover that any connect in my g1 seem doesn't work. wifi can search but when i connected it can't open any page even google. gps can receavie signal, bluetooth can turn on but no one can see me or i can' connect to my headset bluetooth.
May i think it is mainboard's problem? i opened my g1 and see anten signal very perfect, don't have any space or something like that.
I recently swapped my original Captivate for a new one because it had random shutdown issues. However, the old one had no problems getting a quick and accurate GPS lock with various ROM's and modem versions.
This new Captivate will NOT lock at all. Both stock and running custom ROM's, JL2, JL3, JK4, JPY, JM9, etc. I've double checked my GPS Fix settings, cleared GPS data, reset and reflashed multiple times, but my GPS does absolutely nothing. Running LbsTestMode, all that happens is the GPS icon in the notification bar useless flashes, but nothing appears in the test menu, it doesn't appear to be searching for satellites or anything.
From this information, does this sound like a hardware issue? Getting my Captivate exchanged the first time was a big hassle, and my parents seem very unwilling to do it again (as far as they're concerned, if it can make calls, there's nothing wrong with it).

In the LBS Test Mode make sure that the Server is set to supl.google.com and port is 7276, And then delete GPS data.. You should get a lock-on pretty quick

Already did that. The problem isn't exactly getting a lock...LBS Test Mode doesn't even show the GPS trying to get one. On my previous Captivate, if I was indoors or somewhere where a lock was difficult, it would still show the GPS hardware scanning for satellites. This new phone doesn't even do that.

Hmm.. try the Phoenix 3.0 with the Kernel and Modem that comes with it.. and then try GPS.. Axura and Phoenix ROMs are known for it's awesome GPS
Eh...nevermind I guess. This phone is only 2 days old and it has a defective USB port, so I'm returning it. Starting to feel less inclined to get another Captivate, even though it's an awesome phone...when it works.
I swear they do this to discourage exchanging phones. That sucks dude

Hi guys,
ok, my GPS has not worked on my Galaxy S for a long time now. I am always flashing new roms, kernals and it may be something to do with that.
Currently I am running the MUIU Beta rom, but it hasnt worked on previous roms like Darkys.
I decided to download GPS aids from the market ro run some tests.
It downloads the LTO test file, but is unable to copy it.
It says "The application cannot copy files from SDcard to a SYSTEM folder. Maybe it is a busybox problem"
Busybox 1.18.4 is installed to /sbin/
GPS aids has superuser permissions
Google maps hasnt been able to get a fix for a long time. GPS Test cannot find any satelites.
Not sure what I did to cause this problem, but can it be fixed?
Is this a hardware issue?
I know it sounds silly, but do you have your wireless turned on when you are trying to use your GPS? After flashing to 2.2 on my Galaxy S, I found that I couldn't get a GPS lock without having my wireless turned on!
Edit: My original thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986151
Thanks for the quick answer.
Yes the Wifi is switched on, but nothing. Not even one satelite.
The funny thing is that the GPS used to work great. A lot of people werent happy with it but I had no problems.
I got a lock within 10 seconds. I just dont know what I have done to stop it working! lol
Flashing roms you may now have a bad modem or wrong set up especially as you have a beta rom and darky rom .
I would flash stock with pit 512 and reparation checked in other words build a clean phone .

Have you tried the gps test app to see if it is at least seeing the gps satellites or possibly getting a lock?

Hi, yes Ive tried that app. It doesnt find any satelites at all. Nothing!
Unfortunately, I really can't think of anything else. Sadly I believe JJEgan's advice above maybe the only other option
This thread has another possible option http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974702
You may also want to check out the GPS settings on the phone. I'd have to search the forums for the code that gives you access to them.
*#*#1472365#*#* for 2.1 Eclair.
*#*#3214789650#*#* for 2.2 Froyo.
Not sure, but give this a try... my i9000 can get a gps lock in about 5 seconds with no wifi.
Download Fasterfix from the marketplace.
Run it and choose the region that you are in.
In the Location settings, turn off "Use wireless networks" and turn on "Use GPS Satellites"
Go into the LbsTestMode
*#*#1472365#*#* for 2.1 Eclair.
*#*#3214789650#*#* for 2.2 Froyo.
Application settings - Operation mode - Standalone
Application settings - Accuracy - 100
SUPL/CP Settings - Auto Config
Re-boot your phone
Go back into the LbsTestMode
Get Position Test - Let it run for at least 3 minutes while your phone is outside (clear sky view).
Delete GPS Data.
Hopefully that will work for you as well. I was unable to get a GPS lock without wifi prior to this, and now my GPS locks perfectly on its own.

Okay guys, so I know that this question has been done to death but I really can't find anything about it.
I recently installed the most recent July 9th version of AOKP. Everything works fine except for my gps.
I have done "• If your GPS doesn't work after flashing, fastboot back to stock ICS, then flash this is CWM." this step in the AOKP ROM thread multiple times.
When I'm on stock, obviously the GPS works fine and can pick up satellites ect. However, when I run the GPS status app or the GPS test app now, it tells me the GPS is on, and the gps icon blinks in the status bar but no satellites are found. I have tried resetting GPS and getting Xtra data in the GPS status app. In the GPS test app, it tells me the GPS is on but the light is yellow in the box that says GPS status. I also have tried clearing and updating AGPS in this app.
Any ideas?
have the same questions , i use the CM and MIUI ,the GPS can not work ,but use the 4.1.1 the GPS works fine....
then i flashed the CM ang miui again ,the GPS can not work again ...
can not find a good way to solve it.

What you get is not really GPS data... If you get it only after flashing gapps, it indicates it is Google location service based on mobile network or WiFi...

I was outside when I was testing it.
It was the first time I needed GPS since I started using AOKP. I was fiddling with it in the parking lot for a while. When it didn't work, I went home and did what I said above and then sat in my car and tried to get it to work.

when i tested the GPS, the wifi and gprs were both off. Only the GPS is on .
Some of the gps files were tweaked in the past week or so (dev-team side). Later today I'll be building a new PAC with those updated files. If GPS breaks I'll see if I can't find a fix then. Might need a new GPS lib or some tweaking to the repos....can't really say anything concrete right now.
Bumping this thread again to see if anyone who has had this problem can help me. Just went back to stock after wiping everything. Made sure gps worked. Then I factory reset, cleared the two caches, and flashed AOKP and GAPPS.
GPS still does not work. No satellites picked up, just constant blinking up in the status bar.
Hello, I've tried everything to make it work, I installed the GPS apps and everything, even flashed two different roms and still not working.. Is it a kitkat problem?

I reverted to stock and it didn't work as well, tell me if it helps you please
I tried restarting my phone and that got the GPS to turn on. But it wouldnt turn off itself whenever you exit an app like Maps or a GPS status app. The icon will continue to flash on the tool bar for a while and eventually turn of by itself. If you try to activate the GPS again you need to restart your phone.
Im not sure if this is a 4.4.2 problem or a unlocked/rooted problem. Ill try to revert my phone back to stock tonight

my gps doesnt have that problem..download an app called gps status, it shows how many satellites are in the field, then click on agps reset, then download then reboot..some people report this method fixes their gps, but doesnt fix mine ..keep me informed
I'm having the same issue lately after sending my phone to service to fix camera... My gps doesn't want to fix satellites. I tried reverting to stock (keeping s-off and unlocked bootloader) installed a guru reset rom and applied otas but no way till now. Last chance will be flashing a ruu, didn't have time yet but I'll do it in a couple days. I will keep you guys informed, if anyone succeeds in fixing it, please post how you did it!
Gps status sometimes sees satellites but signal is too low and never grows. I even tried tweaking gps.conf file a lot but no way...
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
Update: i tried with a RUU zip with android 4.1.2 and applied otas till 4.3 (that was the last one i received) on one of this upgrades camera was unable to launch but on the next one it came back. And no way to get gps working with any one of these upgrades. Gps status sees a number of satellites (weird thing, after every new flash glonass satellites appear with some sort of signal -- snr <= 1.18 --, until i reset gps data and download new agps files, then they never come back until i flash some other version/rom) but never gets an acceptable signal enough to lock..
Really don't know what else to try, i think i will send back to service..

Any update on this?
Im having issues with my GPS as well. I use the ViperOne ROM (latest) with the ElementalX firmware. When I try to use Google Maps the following will happen:
1) GPS will find my location ok and calculate a route ok.
2) I start driving and the blue arrow in google maps does not move OR it thinks im on a different road than I actually am. When it thinks im on a different road the arrow may or may not move...more often than not it just stays still.
3) I have driven for over 10min hoping it will eventually start to work but it doesn't.
4) The only way I have got it to work is to pull over, stop nav, close maps and try again. Generally on the 2nd or 3rd try it will start to work correctly.
My GPS was working fine before I rooted and installed a custom ROM. I will try wiping and flashing ViperOne tonight and use the stock firmware instead of ElementalX. Will report back to see if this works.

Nop no good still. If anyone has a fix for this it would be appreciated!!!
Same issues here after sending in for repair. GPS sees about 18-20 satellites per the gps status apps, but only fixes on 3-4 with weak signals. Tried a few gps.conf tweaks which help but seems that they're just using more of the AGPS data and not actually the GPS chip.
EDIT: Have tried a few fresh wipes and different ROMs, GPE edition, etc. - all the same. This never happened in the past :/

I have tried updating the firmware to the latest version and different ROMS but that did not help. However I discovered that in google maps if I select the walk mode my navigation will work! Unfortunately thats no help as I need the car mode to work.
I installed GPS Status and it locks on to plenty of satellites so im not sure why Google Maps (or any nav apps) will not work.
I came to the same conclusion as you. It seems like the phone is using AGPS and not the GPS data.

I did a little research the other day ...I can't find the link but I remember most of it..
Apparently one of the Google+ and/or playstore silent background updates mess up gps on google maps for HTC One.
Using the 'GPS essentials' and 'Gps status' apps you can actually lock on to all the gps satellites fine.
Also using navigation,like you did...also locks on fine.
Its the standard google maps over view and a few other apps that use it (like my bus map app) that are affected.
One work around is apparently (didn't work for me though) going into the google settings app and tinkering with Google+ settings. turning it off or clearing it or something.
This is a software issue. I'm on untampered pure stock.
So I have resolved the GPS issue on my device. I tried a whole bunch of things so im not totally sure what fixed it. I:
Removed HTC Backup using root uninstaller
Using Faster GPS set my location and added the TRUE flag to AGPS_Enable
Using GPSFix I waited until it locked onto a satellite.
Rebooted my phone then tested with GPS Test. My phone locked onto about 8 satellites.
Tried Google maps navigation and it worked.
So far its been 3 days, 2 reboots and counting. Hopefully something similar works for you.
If you're rooted editing the GPS.conf file fixes it perfectly. The default setting are just totally crap

And GPS has stopped working again. What a pain.
Go here. This is how I fixed my HTC one. It works on all android phones. The default GPS.conf file is rubbish
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630
I tried the gps.conf file in that link. It seemed to be slightly better at first, locking onto 3 satellites with yellow SNR in GPS Test. But then I tried resetting and downloading the AGPS data with GPS Status and after it doesn't even detect satellites anymore.
Question to the posters in the thread. Have any of you dropped your phone before this started happening? I've gone through 2 M7s and the GPS stopped working properly after taking a nasty spill and have been unsuccessful in remedying the problem.

I have dropped my phone several times however it is in a protective case. My issue started out of the blue: one day it was working just fine, the next it was highly erratic...and has been since.
