Download a GPS app. There are a few on the Market. Search for "GPS status".

The same thing happens to me, I dl GPS status and whenever you loose the signal go to GPS status ( PARK FIRST IF YOU'RE DRIVING BTW!!) -> Tools -> Manage a GPS --> Reset , then re-download GPS assistance data. Then go back to your GPS app and it should lock-on again.
It is a major pain in the ass, but it's one of those trade-offs for having Froyo on a phone that was not designed for it and giving Sprint the finger.

Thank you, downloading the app.

this may be unrelated but IF you are using one of deca's kernels try enabling cfs tweaks in the batt-cfg, that helps my gps lock way faster and much stronger.

Hello, Having GPS issues as well after I rooted. I am running 2.3.2 with Cyan mod 7 on Sprint HTC Hero. I get GPS signal for about 2-3 minutes then lose signal. I have tried Google Nav and Map Quest. I have installed GPS Status and GPS will connect when I do the steps above through GPS Status, then I lose signal after 2-3 minutes. To be honest I am new and do not know much about the kernel. It reads 2.6.29.6 aospGBmod. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

GPS can be touch and go with the CM7 builds but most of us can go at least a half hour or more with a lock and no issues. Your kernel is the stock kernel for aospCMod. There are several other kernels you can use, namely the 43 and 589 kernels by Deca in the development section. Download one of the kernels and after you flash the ROM and gapps, flash the alternate kernel and see if it helps with GPS.

I gave my GPS an extended workout yesterday. Only issue I had was a reboot after about an hour and a half, and I think that was because my phone was getting warm. No lock loss, it was accurate, no problems. I was on cm7#18 at the time and using nav.

Thanks Anthony. Flashed to 589 and it is a little better. Plus it was sunny here this afternoon so I am sure that helped a little.

No problem. We'll see if the new builds can finally put an end to the GPS problems.

[Q] Google Maps on Gingerbread

Can someone running this Continuum 5 RC3 & talon kernel and who's used Google Maps apps please check their battery usage? According to my battery usage, google maps is using an excessive amount of battery, even if I'm not using the app. It's at the top of the list for battery use, even exceeding display and it's killing my battery. I dropped from full battery to 75 in less than 2 hours yesterday with no use except to periodically look at the battery level. I don't recall this happening in any of the Froyo ROMS. I even wiped and reflashed both the ROM and kernel just to make sure and it's still happening. I've frozen google maps in TB to stop it, but I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and/or have a solution besides getting rid of it? Thanks.

Uninstalled maps and my battery life is looking MUCH better. You can always dl anothermap app from market.

Thx, I decided to uninstall it too. Not worth the huge battery hit.

Any noticeable improvement? Update and let everyone know in a day or 2.

I'm on c5 rc3 and used maps a few times yesterday. I got 4 hours combined screen and calls. Maps used very little for me. Weird.

Strange problem with my Motorola milestone

Hello there. M facing a strange problem with my milestone. My camera lense is focusing automatically every 2 seconds even if my phone is kept away untouched. But camera app is not running still camera lenses move I can hear that sound n even I saw with eyes. I tried all rom still same problem. I m not using any spy can app etc still . But due to this problem some friends though m taking photos. Any one else with same problem. Any suggestions
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

Do you have Google Talk Application running?
I mean... must be Google Talk that keeps doing the focus's sound of the camera.

If your Milestone is overclocked, it means it will activate the hardware.
Though it is weird that making the Camera mechanical tuning... But not quite often.
Basically it will once MS is in booting progress.

Ok no prob I wil try uninstalling gtalk n see stil thanks

[Q] [ICS] What radio works best for gps in Scandinavia?

Im having trouble keeping satellites locked, not having a lock/getting a fix. Any hjelp appriciated.

I also have problems with GPS. However it also seems my compass is not exactly correct and unstable. There seems to be some correlation. How accurate is your compass?

Haven't tested compass yet.
Progress with gps testing:
Tried several radios without wiping the cache first (no help with gps, wifi&data ok)
Now using nexus radio kb3, seems to work , have to test some more
KB3 (and KF1) also fixed the "always roaming" problem.
To get kb3 to function, had to (wipe cache +)flash kf1 first, reboot, (wipe cache+) flash kb3
At this point, the key for successful gps is to wipe cache prior flashing radio (modem)

Hi, tried your way also but no luck so far. Still think that the compass is of influence. Sometimes GPS works and then suddenly compass becomes unstable and is deviating and at the same time the GPS looses fix but still has satellites in view. I am getting desperate. will try some more.
Btw I am on titanium rom

ok, too bad . I'm not totally satisfied in the way things work just now but at least i can drive with waze on for 10km (the longest i drove today). Tomorrow more test while driving to the cottage almost 300km away.
I have had it working on some older versions of ics roms, but really don't want to go back there..

Try JVK,JVT,JW4,JVU modems (from Rom Manager it's easy)
Toivottavasti joku noista toimii kunnol myös gps:s!
Muute, lisää mut google talkis [email protected]

Tried. Only with some luck.. GPS gets fix, keeps it for a while then loses fix and doesn't seem to get it back. Sigh.
Think I'm going totally stock or Darky's and test there. And then if things work like they used to, come back to ICS roms.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2

I'm getting good results with JVT. GPS locks pretty well( tested on bus yesterday).

All modems worked as badly.
Then I changed kernel to semaphore and was able to drive 160 km with only few times losing fix.
More testing needed though..

nice, try also glitch kernel=)

Hi!
I had tried different modems but none of them worked so the only solution I found was to open up my SGS and then do some hardware fixes....had to bend the connection "wire" of GPS. Now the contact between GPS and antenna is good, so this means I get the satellite lock in few second, even indoors!
Just search Google or Youtube and you will find how to do it.

Cleared all GPS stuff with GPS aids (yes I payed 2€ for it but was getting desperate)
and now it has been working just great for about 4 days.
I also flashed another ROM prior to clearing, and it (gps) worked ok after the flash. I'm not sure which or both did the trick but now it's working..
I'm currently on slim ICS and my modem is JW4.

GPS AIDS is a great app to improve your signal.in settings u can NTP server,its usually set to world or north America.change to your region.this will improve your signal significantly.

If it's just Minecraft, I have the issue as well.
The kernels are fine. They have multi-touch fixed.

I have not found any solutions as yet, I think it is related to some service getting killed or something related to memory or IncS hardware limitation. It is quite possible that it is issue with games (due to above) because I remember testing touches with YAMTT app and touches worked fine, probably you can check it for your phone.
As a workaround, I lock-unlock again and see if it works. If it is still not working, long press home key to get app running history, remove that game and open it again (restarting game ). I remember on rare occasions I have to restart my phone.
P.S.
I am not expert, we have many experts here in this forums, so few of above may be incorrect

Thx for your reply I already used this solution (sorry if I forgot to type) for a loong time and I actually hate it... Sometimes I wanna play multiplayer games with friends and when the game is loading I look so something else, my phone locks its screen and then,... My screen is TOTALLY MESSED UP and I gotta do the whoooole process again kill task, go to home, lock screen unlock start app and if it still doesn't work, redo the cycle and I'm tired of doing that thx anyways

Yes, same here, its irritating. Have you tried SVHD 2.1 ROM with kangaroo v19 kernel, I am getting the best performance from my phone amongst the ROMs that I have personally tried. At this moment I am not playing games heavily, but have not faced this issue in svhd ROM. I would suggest that you keep ROM for 2-3 days to conclude if that ROM works for you (like performance, battery etc)
Meanwhile let's wait for solutions from experienced user or expert.
