[Q] GPS issues after wipe/flash new rom with wipe? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there
I want to ask you about strange thing a saw after flashing my SGS with any other ROM than my stock PLUS GMS 2.1 Eclair JM2... It's a branded rom which i had when i bought phone in my shop. When i flash any other ROM (like Darky's or Doc's rom) GPS can't catch cold fix... Has problems with lock and sometimes it takes long time to see any satelites... When it get a fix, hot fix are ok later, but after about hour it has again problems with fix... Thats a little annoyng cause on branded ECLAIR GPS works great... I'm always making a wipe and format system before flash a new rom ald flashing roms with wipe option built in... Currently using Doc's v6.2 XXJPY 2.2.1 and same issues - problems with fix after no using gps... The worst is in the morning, after no using gps in more hours... Restarting GPS, restarting GPS status, and fighting with it and sometimes i cant catch fix gps in about 10 - 20 minutes or more... GPS isn't broken i thing if it's working on my stock branded rom... In LbsTestMode everything is seted up corrrectly... On flashed for test JPP radio (someone tells me that is best for GPS) where same problems... Is that normal after wipe that GPS needs few days to work properly? please help me anyone...

Having the same problem. Used pure JPY, GPS was blazing fast and acurate. Now with Doc 6.2 can't even lock to satelites.

if no one helps the only thing will be to flash stock JPY, and apply CWM and kernel with lagfix... But it may not helps... really no one knows whats going on with gps issues after wipe/flash?

Flash this via cwm and see if that fixes your GPS:

nope... didn't help... same problem...

Try this then:

Flash via CWM then do another reboot.
If that fails, I give up

seems that it locks quite fast... 'll check again morning... but somethings strange. after few minutes of working gps is automaticly turning off? why? if im not moving and phone is not used and not moving it is normal?

i'm glad you're getting a quick lock with GPS now. As for your new problem, that is either application or settings related.

[Q] Help Proximity and Position Sensor not working

Since i've update my SGS to android froyo the Proximity sensor stoped working and the position sensor taken 30sec to turn the image...
I've used the test mode code to check hardware error, but there everything is working perfectly...
If I put the Android 2.1 the problem doesn't show up.
Does anyone have the same problem or solution?
Nobody has this issue?
Is quite strange... because if i put a Android 2.1 ROM everything works just fine, but with later version of android the sensors still working (using test mode from SGS Tools, I confirmed that the sensors are just fine), but the system takes a huge time (~30sec) to do something...
Please, if anyone knows anything that could solve this problem, please say something!
I think that in the first week that I had Froyo everything warked fine, but I'm not sure...
Is there any way to do a complete reset and set everything to default values including Hardware settings?
I've already done Factory reset and Full factory reset, by CWM and Code.
Nobody??? Anything???
Is this a genuine samsung rom you are using .
A flashed rom or a genuine Kies updated firmware .
jje
I'm now using a ROM official (sam***gfirmwares.co*) flashed by ODIN.
Should I try use Kies?
No i was just trying to rule out a flakey rom .
My usual suggestion is a wipe via ODIN
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882014
But i would stop at Eclair and see if its solved the problem if OK upgrade further .
jje
Its the same thing...
Its quite awkward, because only apendds in Froyo...
why not try a custom froyo rom, head over to doc's kitchen and cook yourself one up. also try lagfix, and any other speed up tweaks. how does the phone respond normally ?? without the sensors ? is it quite speedy or does it lag ??
The phone work just fine but when i turn the phone it take a lot of time to twist the image... I can even still interact with the screen until it turns...
The proximity sensor takes a lot of time too...
No one else has this problem?

[Q] GPS on CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC4

Hi, please, I have a problem with GPS on my Galaxy Mini with CM7 7.2.0 RC4.
If i enable my GPS and I'm using any SW which uses GPS (fe. google maps, c:geo, sport tracker etc...) after a few minutes GPS seems to be working (in taskbar is enabled, i can see an icon) but GPS isn't working. I can shut it down and power up again, but nothing happens. I have to restart Galaxy Mini.
It happens everytime, when I'm using GPS for more than a few minutes.
Does anybody know what I can try to solve it?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Václav
try to reflash the your ROM
Try to flash again with clean install means wipe everything! Rc4 shouldnt have any gps bug, it takes around 30sec on my mini to find his satelite and it works fine without losing connection!

Thanks for reply.
It's not about problem with the finding of satelites, it takes about 5-15s.
But after a few minutes GPS is jammed.
I just reflash ROM and tomorrow i will se what will happens.
Maybe second question: when i'm on clean install of CM7, i'm going to try AD2SDX script, but i don't know how to find, which format of ext i'm using (ext3 or ext4)... and with default script my Mini doesn't want to start, i'm going change ext in script and try it again...

GPS fixes once then stops

Hy, i have a problem with my Lg Optimus 2x GPS.
With any GPS software, the GPS is fixing only once in a few seconds to 6-10 satelites then stops. The gps sign that appears near signal disappears also.
Normally the gps sign flashes when searching for signal then stays on when is functional
If i want to use the gps i have to restart the phone. And GPS works great but only for one or two times.
Anybody else is having this problem ?
It's working just fine here with the ROM/kernel in my sig.
What ROM are you using? Were you having trouble before using that ROM? (I'm just trying to figure out if it might be software related or not, it normally is).
The problem appeared when i upgraded the OS to 2.3.4. (original from LG)
I don't have custom Rom.
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Compilation NR: GRJ22
Version : V20c
In my opinion you can try one of three different things:
You can try a factory reset, after backing up your apps (although I believe you need to have root access to backup your apps).
You can try downgrading to an older ROM again.
You can try flashing a decent (aka custom) ROM.
Installed cyanogen, Works great

[Q] how to identify if gps is broken or if it's related to rom/kernel?

Hello! The gps used to work on my Ideos X6 but since a while back I can't get a fix. I thought it was because of flashing different roms and changing kernels that something wasn't compatible but now I've reverted back to stock with SUT and it still doesn't work. I've tried a bunch of gps fix-apps too but no luck. Do you think the gps is broken hardware wise?
try mokee it is beat for GPS
gps locks just in sec's

Try this, install fasterfix and choose a server for your region. In settings go to my location settings, disable "Automatic assisted gps" and "use wireless network" leaving only "use gps sattellites" option enabled. Now install GPS Test and go out into a region where you can see the sky clearly and fire up gps test and see if you get any sattelites. When the big yellow dot becomes green you have a lock, see if you can get any sats.

unfortunately my phone also faces gps problem but not your kind. Its just takes too long to get a f*** lock. Maps app shows direction correctly and turns when I turn, but the navigation app just wouldn't lock soon enough. So I guess the problem might be handset related, each phone behaving uniquely....... So I think its best if you flash stock and return your phone for a replacement before your warranty expires...
just my 2 cents,
whyzee
I had tried all those gps fix apps with no luck. I finally managed to get gps working by flashing an old stock rom with old kernel via SUT. I think the huawei versions' gps doesn't work with all kernels. As far as I can remember the gps stopped working after flashing one of the MIUI ICS roms, but I'm not sure. I'm going to try and root now and install Maclite, cause I'm almost sure I had gps working before with that rom.

MIUI ICS? x.x ICS theme or ICS rom? cuz AFAIK the only MIUI ICS here is zuk's abandoned MIUIv4 proj..
I have your issue as well after flashing to CK's Dark MIUI. but then I flashed edowar's libs-gps file and it's fine.. can be found somewhere in his CM7 thread I think.. now I get locks within 7-30s..

GPS usually relies on your radio modem.
Do you happen to know before (when your with Criskelo), on what radio modem you were using before? flash that modem back and I'm sure your GPS issue issue will be fix..
No i dont know anything. I am noob
