[Q] No GPS in CM7.1.0 BETA FXP011b RELEASED? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am new here and I got my Xperia X8 yesterday. I tested jerpeleas ROM, very nice work!
GPS should work in the ROM, but I cannot start apps like runkeeper, runtastic, endomondo or GPS Test. It appears a warning: Application stops unexpacted. Do I have to change any settings or run a compatibility mode (how/where?)?
Many thanks in advance, Andreas

Try doxianh's ROM FroyoBread. In this are working all In 2.3.X ROMs usually not working camera, sometimes GPS, 3D,2D... We have fully working 2.2 ROMs so why do you using 2.3 ?
Sorry for my bad English.

Yes, that would be my last resort. But it must be possible to get it to work. It should work according to developer thread

now I use CM7 (2.3.4) v.138 HACKDROID, GPS works well there, fantastic!

Navigon on Gingerbread Milestone Rom's

Hello together,
i want to use Navigon on my Gingerbread Milestone. But, like you know 2.6 is not working with it. So i get Navigon 3.5.4 now but i get a message if I start it.
I read several other threads here about the problem but i dont get it working.
So did someone could explain me detailed how to get it working on my milestone ? Even someone here have already a working milestone wirth gingerbread and navigon ?
Regards,
Snot
I will recomend Sigic (Mobile 10 or Aura) In my opinion Aura is better.
:-D I use Sygic already
But i feel that Navigon is more confortable ?!
I have the official release of Navigon 3.6.0 and CM 7.1, and it's working great.
No need to do anything specific.
Motonav is best !
Navigon is the best option for me.
Do Navigation-Apps work on CM on Milestone? I have heard that they still does not work because of GPS issues ...

[Q] GPS in custom X8 roms

I'm wondering why GPS didn't work for me never on custom roms which had GPS "fixed"? I've been using Floyo 2.2 version stable rom for some time on my X8 and it supported GPS but it didn't worked for me never, just didn't pick the signal even on gps tests, now I'm using latest the new CM7.1.0 STABLE FXP027 with unlocked boot loader and latest kernel and it's says that GPS is roking but it didn't work for me eighter not showing sattelites not picking signal. On stock 2.1 android it worked flawlesly so I doubt it's hardware problem. I also done factory cleaning when I flashed roms/kernels. So here I'm asking what can I do to make it work, where I should start first?
Thanks in advance!
Try "faster fix" app from Market to fix

[Q] Sygic and ICS

Hello!
Has anybody managed to get Sygic fully functioning on ICS ROM? I have tried to install Sygic 11.2.1 on Alba and Criskelo ROMs, but without success. It installs, but acts weird, does not show map and usually crashes.
I am running the ICS stunner Rom and i can confirm that sygic is working for me.
Had to go through the trouble of installing the app and download the maps just for you!!
Work great hear too No problems at all

No problems on imilkas CM9v3, too.
Thanks!
Problem solved. Just had to buy the correct version, 11.2.6. This one works flawlessly.
Im Glad it worked out for you
I remember seeing a Sygic changelog several weeks ago and there was "Android 4.0 compatibility". So just choose the latest version.

[Q]GPS problem

I am using the Dark Knight 5.5 ROM with the Devil2_0.94 kernel. I enjoy it but it has a few fatal issues for me:
The GPS doesn't work. At all. I tried A Darky's ROM and it didn't work there either. Tried a lot of GPS-fixing apps. Still no luck. Any tips?
If these issue are unfixable, I would like to ask you guys for a ROM that is smooth, stable and on which everything works. Could be GB or ICS (I would prefer ICS).
Thanks in advance
try again to reinstall this ROM.
I have the big problem with the sound. It doesn't work!!! I always have Silence mode for ringtone and alarm. If i choose the any sound, it works, but after the reboot nothing.
I try to use external software for example Rings Extended but nothing.

The GPS doesn't work and I can't acces the external SD card through the phone(I can't listen to the music or view the photos on the card, neither can I browse through the files. I tried formatting but it fixed nothing)
If these issues are unfixable, I would like to ask you guys for a ROM that is smooth, stable and on which almost everything works. Could be GB or ICS (I would prefer ICS).
Thanks in advance

I tried it but I don't like...
This is how I always trouble-shoot my GPS problems.
1. make sure gps.conf ntp server is changed to match your country.
2. try a few different modems.
3. turn gps off then on in each test. sometimes my GPS doesn't work first time (in this case there will be no sats showing in gpstest)
Make sure you are in a open area and use angrygps or gpstest to see how many sats you are getting and whether they are locking.
When I flashed ICS I couldn't get any lock until I changed modem (currently using JV5 from the latest JW6 rom. But I also got it to work fine with JVU.
Got bad GPS experience with GB and ICS. With ICS there was almost no sats visible (tried CM9 based ROMs TWICS and Remics-UX). I got best results with Darky ROM 9.5.

[Q] GPS doesn't work [CM 10] In Stock ROM works

Hi Guys !
I have an Optimus Black (P970H).
Recently I installed the Stable version of Cyanogen Mod 10 (10.0.0-p970)
My problem is, using the LG Stock ROM, my GPS works fine.
The version that I'm using is the Brazilian version of the Gingerbread ROM (V20A)
When I installed CM 10, the GPS stoped working.
It doesn't fix do any sattelite and using softwares like GPS Test, shows no sattelites at all.
Tomtom doesn't work at all and Google Maps keeps "Waiting for Position"
I wish to know if there's any fix that I can try.
I know that on the folder /etc resides the configuration files for the GPS (gps.conf and gps_brcm_conf.xml).
Can I use the stock files to make the GPS on CM 10 work ?
If you guys know something that can help me I will be glad.
I'm on Brazil, South America.
Thanks to everyone!
Help!!
I have the same problem! I kinda really need GPS. And I don't wanna reveert back to ICS. Can anybody please help me please!!!
If you used the search, you would find several threads about that...

On CM10 it doesn't work properly, and it won't work later, as there are no new nightlies of CM10. So nobody is developing this rom (its core).
dcop7 made some files that can help a bit, but it's still far from the performance you get on LG's ICS or CM10.1-based roms.
On CM10.1 though, it's working fine now, as the issues with gps were fixed a few months ago.
You can get some info about the issue here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230395
I would suggest you to try CM10.1-based roms, as they improved a lot lately.
