Hey guys,
i flashed my cappy from cog to the froyo but data and voice didnt seem to work, flashed back to stock then did a master clear and reflashed to froyo and same issue no data or voice, it shows the airplane mode although the setting says its off...
any suggestions?
EDIT: com.android.phone seems to be the problem, i cant access it using the *#... etc method...
how can i fix this?
I would try doing a master clear, then one-clicking. Also, some others said that simply rebooting may help. Also, is applicable, dont restore "system apps and data" from titanium backup, only "missing apps plus data" hope this helps
nope didnt work, i didnt even restore anything yet, its just weird because everything works flawless except voice and data....any help is appreciated
Settings
Wireless and Network
Mobile Networks
Access Point Names (is it empty? is there an entry but it doesnt have a green dot next to it?)
Menu button
Reset to Default
OR
if default does not work, try adding a NEW APN. you will find settings around the forums for APN
Go to settings and do a reset to factory in there. That fixes a similar error for me.

1.) Master Clear with current ROM
2.) Flash to stock JF6 using ODIN
3.) UPDATE TO JH7 using KIES MINI (I think this may fix the airplane mode issue)
4.) Flash to Froyo using ODIN'
This is exactly what I would do, let me know how it works for you buddy!
nope, i cant even access mobile networks it gives me an error "check simcard if its inserted" but it is, and when i flash back to jm or jh it works fine...

So only the update to JI6 (Froyo) causes the issue?
Maybe the link you downloaded from was corrupt? There was about 20 links last night haha.
yea only the ji6, cant be corrupt because i downloaded the orginal (was one of the first to download it) and a mirrored one.... still something fishy, be in mind i did have cog with voodoo and i never disabled it the lag fix... but im guessing the whole rom wouldnt work if that was the issue correct?
VooDoo would have been cleared when you did Master Clear, I believe.
Maybe try the Kies Mini update to JH7 and THEN flash the Froyo.

..If this fixes it I will be shocked haha.
That's the FIRST thing I do if I run into any problems on android
im trying the kies jh7 then flash method, but i did reboot several times and baseband never came back....should it be unplugged to pc or plugged?
Let me know how the Kies JH7 and then Flash method works for you; I think it SHOULD work because I was on stock JH7 when I flashed to Froyo JI6 and I have had nothing but a great experience since!
sorry guys neither method worked, im guessing its a simple stupid fix...... its getting frustrating ...........
I was reading other posts where guys were having that issue with phones that were not on att network. This seems to lock you onto att and no other network will work. At least that was the opinion of the other posts.
FOUND THE PROBLEM BUT CANT SOLVE IT !!!!
com.android.phone ---> is corrupted, i tried going into it and it doesnt let me giving me a FC..
any one got an dea how to resolve it?
Start from scratch my friend:
1.) Re-Flash Stock ODIN JF6 and then update to JH7 using Kies Mini
2.) REDOWNLOAD Froyo JI6 using the same link I did:
http://www.ponack.net/designgears/I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears.exe
3.) Before Flashing JI6 please do a master clear, factory data reset and FORMAT all your SD cards
Then that should solve any problems you have buddy!
just so i know im doing it right... can you tell me how to do a master clear please !!
To do a master clear, enable usb debugging on your captivate, go to the homescreen, open odin, plug in your device. Once it is recognized press master clear from the homescreen. It will clear it and reboot your device

Hi guys, I'm just wondering why my gps is not working. I've followed the instructions written on the apocalypse thread. I've uploaded my gps.conf text. Please take the time to look at it.
Replies will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance guys!
Take a look at this, it might work on every CM7.x based ROM, including all vo-1 based ROMs, for me on the CM7.2 RC1 original works like a charm, first GPS lock within 15seconds

Will that patch induce instabilities on my ROM? itasoulas said that installing other fixes my make the rom instable.
thanks for the reply by the way.

I don't think so, but you can try without damaging your ROM install by doing an nandroid backup with CWM first, if the patch doesn't work or create instability, you can restore everything from backup,
GPS Issues
Hey all,
Recently installed CM7.2 Apocalypse (Final Build: 9/7/12) onto my Ace.
I was previously using CM 7.2 Official but (IMHO) Apocalypse is far better.
Since flashing Apocalypse, I have been unable to connect to GPS. I just get the "Location Currently Unavailable" message and the GPS icon flashes continuously. I have tried the "FasterFix" Method Then the "GPS Status and Toolbox" method resetting and downloading A-GPS state.
Also edited my GPS.conf file but all to no avail.
All attempts have been made under a clear sky in several locations around my home.
Eagerly awaiting a response,
Lazzaarus

thank you SO much
you have to change the values of gps.conf with your current location for better gps fix.
Finishing GPS Set-Up
1. go to system/etc/gps.conf
2. use root explorer, long press that file and open with text editor
3. replace "europe" with your region according to this guide
4. Save file, no permissions needs to be changed. The .bak file can be safely deleted
in my case: south-america.pool.ntz.org
This is what "FasterGPS" does.
It simplifies the process via dropmenu's.

Hi,
I have CM9 nightly installed on my SGS and it works nicely but it drains battery and internet does not work.
It worked good about 3-4 weeks but suddenly the signal strength bar (or whatever it's called) went to grey (it's normally blue) and if i try to use something what uses internet, it doesn't load anything.
Do you have the latest CM9 version?
Grey signal means you have a weak signal or does not have signal at all. Can you still send and receive SMS?
Yes i can make calls and receive sms. Signal bar is almost full. It would be almost black if have no signal.
But now it's light grey.
Did you try testing it with other phone? Just to prove that it is not your network provider's problem.

Not unless things start to force close. If they do that then you need to factory reset.
Also check your efs folder. It is possible that the data there has been scrubbed. If that's the case Odin a stock firmware with wipe efs ticked.
After that you can return to CM9.

Hello,
I have just flashed MIUI Gingerbread 2.4.20-RC3 to my GT-S5570, everything looks great, except WiFi, when I turn on WiFi, it says "Scanning" finds my WiFi and then "disconnected" and again shows "Scanning" for 1 sec and again "disconnected", what can I do?
WiFi Error
You need to revert to your old stock rom, because the drivers for WiFi aren't working. Same thing happened on my mobile phone, when I flashed it with the newer firmware. Didn't really find the solution to this problem, but solved it by going back to my old rom. Hope this helps.
You can also try typing this code into your phone: #*#*526#*#*
It might work for you.
Best of luck.

Thank you for reply.
It is working now, here is what I did: In phone settings I tried to change themes lock screen to other, but unfortunately not default lock screen was way too big (very big resolution) so I was not able to unlock my phone any more, once I found that I can do it pressing back+volume down, it helped to unlock, but MIUI was crashed and stopped working, so I had to wipe all data and cash, to reset default settings, after this, everything works great now.

the same thing was happening to me (on the same rom)>> "fixed" it by reseting the notebook-hot-spot (connectify) I use
[sometimes even a simple wi-fi turn on/off or rebooting the device would help too]
I'm posting this in order to prevent you from doing more drastic stuff :cyclops:

My Galaxy Note was with ROM SlimSaber 4.4.2 and the gps was not working. Then I put Cyanogenmod 11 but the problem continues.
Someone who has any of these two Rom is facing this problem?
I thank for the help. :good::good:
Sorry for my english. I'm from Brazil.

CM 11: GPS working fine here.
I am using latest frantisheq cm11 built and gps working fine.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Strange, I've formatted the Note, put the rom Slimsaber and Cyanogenmod 10.2 and gps still not working. I am using GPS Test and Sygic for try to capture the satellites but nothing happens.
Would know tell me a way to check if the gps is actually connected, and if there is any way to fix this?
Thank you for the help of the two.

Try install a stock Samsung rom and check GPS.
I have the same problem for a while. I am using SllimSaber.
I have formatted and reflashed KK several times nothing changed.
Now i will try stock rom as suggested.
I have installed AryaV7 nothing has changed, no GPS signal at all
Any ideas?

Does your phone's GPS indicator blink? Maybe your phone's GPS is broken? Have you tried aps named "GPS Test", from google play?
Did you tried to use the app GPSData to download latest AGPS info?
Also you can try to modify gps.conf/gps.xml to choose different time/supl server, that is greatly helpful for fixing GPS.
Try reflashing rom (clean install) - In case there is nothing wrong with your GPS hardware everything should work just fine
I have modified gps config data with Faster Gps. Results did not change.
I have also used AndroiTS Gps test,Gps data, Gps status, Gps essentials none of them was able to catch a satellite.
I have clean install Slim Saber but the result is the same.
I am started thinking that it is not software related.
It could be a hardware issue....
Folks,
Like you I spent days editing gps.conf, installing apps, reflashing ROMS, all to no avail.
There seems to be no magic bullet and what works for one may not work for another, but I eventually stumbled across http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973727.
As you will see it requires opening the case and 'tweaking' two contact points. To my surprise it worked for me - although not perfectly. I get about 10 satellite fixes and 6, maybe 7 locks. ('GPS Test' is an excellent freebie to tell you what locks/fixes you are getting.) But a big step in the right direction. There are a few images in the thread that describe the issue/ remedy.
Top (well, average) tips:
1. If you haven't taken a case off before:
a. don't try it just before setting off to a dinner party. It is a bit of a pig and requires some grunt, swearing and patience - but it can be done! There are a few YouTube videos that help explain the process.
b. you will require a size 000 cross-head (Phillips) screwdriver. Go out and buy one if necessary (if you can find somewhere that sells them - I use the one from my spectacles repair kit which just happens to fit; not perfect but does the job - http://www.poundland.co.uk/spectacle-repair-kit. If you try with too big a head you risk stripping the screw heads and that is ......... well, not recommended.
2. Once you have completed the job test your N7000 (with GPS Test) before putting the 9 screws back in. Mine works better with no screws! You may find different.
As I say above this may work for you and may not, so the usual health warning, proceed if you wish.
You can find similar issues on Samsung smartphones, eg http://gs3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/s...-gps-problems-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-0145332/.
Good luck :laugh:

Did you solve the problem? I have the same trouble that have arisen after updating to kitkat.I tried everything to solve it, without success (clean installation, downgrading to stock rom, editing the gps.conf file, reinstalling google maps, modem changes, hardware check ect.).
I switched to Lollipop but problem remain unsolved.
Regards
I'm glad I found this thread; I too have tried all possible solutions that may have worked for others (edit gps.config, reflash stock ROM, go back to GB, tighten the screws, bend the antenna contacts and so on), and none have helped. At all.
Now, I read somewhere that what is most likely causing the problem (completely dead gps, gps status apk shows zero satellites) is a corrupted EFS partition. This is a partition that usually is not touched by factory resets, ROM changes and so on. It also contains information that you cannot afford to loose (imei and so on).
So, I managed to backup this partition using KTools. Now, the problem is how do I get a clean, EFS partition? Is there a way to reflash this partition from a hidden backup thru odin? Or some other way?
Any help would be vastly appreciated!
Regards.
