hi, i use ginger dx since the first version and am having the same problem since the beginning. i cant post in the gdx thread coz i m nt experienced enough. well, the problem is with GPS. my phone never shows the gps idle or working icon on the statusbar. and my position on the gps, too is never accurate. i tried faster fix and many apps but the problem persists. please help me!
It's strange, I never had such problem. For me GPS "only" is turning off data traffic when appear. Try to do "clean" installation of GingerDX (flashtool+root+xRecovery) and full wipe after. Did you had such problems on stock rom?

Use the fasterfix app again, set location. Or maybe you can try using gps libs from FreeXperia team.
Edit;
Backup first and copy all of this into your /etc/gps.conf file. Erase every line in there other than the one about NTP_SERVER before copying this into there.

The APN is saved in the settings. And I did flash the zip-file. After that I adjust the file inside the init.d map with the script manager. But without wifi toggled on, the status bar doesn't show any signal on the signal bars, and therefore also nog 3g. Got any solution for that?
Thanks!
I've noticed that my market downloading capability just stops working randomly. only thing that resolves it is a factory reset. I've tried clearing market cache and data but that only worked once.
Any thoughts?

Hi
I have installed the ICS rom and seem to be in a pickle. Everything works besides the phone i.e I can make or receive calls. Wifi works etc. Any suggestions. Also how do I now go back to gingerbread as Odin no longer works due to no usb support.

Hi,
I had a few problems with GPS in IZS so I search a bit and try to compile a fix. For me, this appears to be working... But other testers and appreciated
You just have to do the fowling:
In recovery, flash the attached zip
After reboot, using a app like GPS Test (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&hl=en), clear AGPS data
Please, give feedback.
UPDATE:
I've uploaded a new fix (GPS_fix_2_world). This is a different fix from the other, one that isn't depended on any continent.

UPDATE2 - NEW FIX - From Mackey
I've upload a new GPS fix - GPS_FIX_WORLD.zip
This fix is based on Mackey/ShenDu/MokeeOS's ROM, and to be sincere, it is the best fix I've ever seen so far. I've got a lock within a minute without any data/wifi on, without any AGPS data...
Steps for this fix:
Turn off wifi/mobile data (so that it wont download any new AGPS data)
Clear the AGPS data (to be a clean slate)
Reboot to recovery
Flash the fix
Clear cache and dalvik cache (this is the first time I tried and it seems a important step for the fix to work)
Reboot and that's it
Please, try it and give feedback!
UPDATE3 - NEW FIX - Using LG server
After many hours of testing... He is my conclusion. The GPS alone can't get a useful signal...
To make this new fix work...
turn off the AGPS*
clear the AGPS data
delete the files (not folder) in /data/gps
reboot to recovery and flash (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42195149&postcount=56)
reboot
open an app like GPS Status and download the AGPS data only from the app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2)
* To turn on/off the AGPS go to localization services and turn on the option that is something like "use wifi and/or mobile data to determine your location"
Don't use AGPS from localization services... You just have to download the AGPS from time to time.
UPDATE4: NEW GPS FIX TWEAKED BY DCOP7
I've made a new fix and I want a few testers. Who can help me?
To make this new fix work...
turn off the AGPS*
delete the files (not folder) in /data/gps
reboot to recovery and flash GPS_fix_tweaked_by_dcop7.zip
Turn on mobile data of Wifi and open GPS Status or something. This will download a file explained below
Need to turn on mobile data or wifi when getting a GPS signal every few days to refresh the file downloaded in point 4.
* To turn on/off the AGPS go to localization services and turn on the option that is something like "use wifi and/or mobile data to determine your location"
What is the difference between this fix and other fixes?
This fix is configured to download the information: Long Term Orbits. This information is like and enhanced AGPS data. The Mackey fix sometimes use this information, that is why some people get a lock very fast, even if they clear AGPS (this information isn't cleared when GPS Status clean the AGPS data). To clear every bit of AGPS data, delete the files present in /data/gps (point 2).
What took me a long time to understand is when this information is downloaded, what interval, etc... It was difficult to understand why the Mackey fix download this information without any patter. That is why, with Mackey fix, after a few days, the GPS performance dropped.
I think I figure it out. Please, test this fix and give some feedback.

Cm10.1 and no change after flash. Maybe the issue is CM itself
I'll try another place with IZS tomorrow.
Thank you for your work, I am curious to read other experiences on JB.
It was my reason for switching from JB to IZS. GPS never worked for me on JB, but it's working as a blast on IZS. I don't know how huexxx did it, but I always have a fix within 5 seconds outside, and within 20 seconds inside.

Could be your DNS settings are screwed up and over writing the router's settings. Download set DNS and uninstall it from within the app. This will reset your DNS to the factory default settings.

The changes in my link reverts the driver settings in JB back to same as ICS.
Even though the driver itself might be different in JB, but following the instructions will set the settings identical to the ICS settings. I do not experience disconnections or problems to connect to certain access points anymore. Let me know what happens after you tried it.
Also, the instructions will work only if you have rooted your phone. Keep in mind to mount the system folder as Read/Write

Hey there,
I just received my Mi 8 yesterday and I am getting serious issue with GPS, it's not connecting at all even though I accepted all permissions with several apps!
It's set on high accuracy but won't find my location through GPS (always connecting/searching for the GPS).
Have you guys encountered this issue and found solutions ?
I can retrieve my position with network but not GPS, with Waze for example.

hello my friend. Could you please provide me with this patch?
I have the same problem with the same Rom. I managed to get GPS signals by rebooting the device every time I really need to use GPS and it works. Problem is that after you reboot it hangs, so then
you have to keep on pressing the power button and it will reboot and Gps will work. Not exactly a permanent solution though.
