Hi, i´ve tested many roms, the lastest Dutty´s and Miri´s, and others and the lastest radio 1.14.25.24 with the bs_rilphone correspondent, and all the radios 1.13.25.24, 1.12.25.16, 1.10.25.25, 1.09.25.35, 1.09.25.14, i´ve tried flashing from sd, and from pc, but iam having a very low wifi signal, sometimes no signal, and no gps signal at all, using garmin.... I dont remember wich was the original radio on my hd, but i used to have a very good wifi signal, and gps signal too. Not happening now
Any help????
edit:
The only way i get a very weak wifi signal, when i stand near by my wifi router....

Don't forget you need to have your phone security unlocked before you can use this radio or you'll brick your device
Already tried that one too.... bad reception....

Have you always had bad signal even with stock rom? If so, could be hardware related so a warranty return may be best option.
If you have unlocked your device as you say, this will void your warranty. However, if you revert the SPL to the stock one, it maybe alright. Possibly someone like Olipro with more experiece returning security unlocked devices might tell you otherwise...
I had a very similar problem (no wifi and no GPS) and here's how I solved it. Remove the battery for 1-2 hours.

Ok!! Thanks!!!
well..kinda solution..i´ve decided to open my touch hd my self, and switch the anthenas, wifi and gps anthena and carrier signal anthena, (2 black wires) now i have a very good wifi signal, and one time the gps connected to sattelites very quick, but when put all the screws back on, (i´ve broken one, very little ones),very difficult to close the device correctly.
Now i have a very good wifi signal, and carrier signal, but no gps signal....
In my experience i will never open my touch hd again!!!
Hi,
I got a Samsung Galaxy S here in Australia, rooted it and upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2 I know that GPS worked just fine with 2.1, I was able to walk home and see my position updating very nicely on Google maps
Since updating to 2.2, GPS hasn't worked at all. When I turn it on, and start an application that uses GPS (Navigation, Maps, etc), the GPS icon sits there and flashes back and forth between those two types of icons and I don't get anything on the maps which shows me where I am. I haven't chased this up since upgrading, but it's starting to bug me now
After searching these forums for 'gps not working', I've pulled down the 'GPS test' application and I don't know for sure, but it appears to find one satellite:
PRN SNR Elev Azim Flags
2 11.0 74.0 150.0
But the GPS icon just sits there flashing back and forth.
I may have missed something since upgrading, do I need to do something to the phone to get my GPS working again?
Thanks!
OK, I seem to have fixed the problem I turned on "Use wireless networks" and voila! I now have successful GPS lock and position in my maps
I would have thought that you could use GPS without having "Use wireless networks" turned on!?

Wouldn't call it a successful GPS lock. Since you got it with the mobile networks. (in my case when I use it . the accuracy in my village is about 1000-1500m since the BTS is that much far from me )
So if you get into an area with weak mobile networks, wont help you much .
Wouldnt call this as resolved with "BAD GPS" cuz your GPS still sucks as before (and doesnt work , you just found a workaround that was there also before , 2.2.1 has even some other function for GPS that tries to fix it (or help?) )
But since you can use it now, its ok I guess . OH and there are kinda almost no real fixes for this. Most of SGS GPS suck . There is GPS aids, shutting down wifi, GPS status app, changing the something according to your country.
Ok!
I got the same problem as the user from the post.
GPS worked like a charm on my Galaxy S (NDrive or Google) running 2.1.
I updated it to Froyo 2.2.1 JS7 and since then it doesn`t work anymore.
I can't get a fix.
I did the GPS position test and It locks on 8 satelites. Why the F%CK it doesn`t work anymore?
I am almost going back to Eclair.
Any sugestions?
TY!
So you get a lock when doing the GPS test, but no luck in any other applications? I couldn't get a lock at all until I turned on my wireless as well as the GPS, then it worked for GPS test as well as applications...
I get a lock on 8 satelites on the Location Test with and without "Use Wireless connections".
BUT
I can't get a lock when I am using Google maps, with or without "Use Wireless connections".
I bought the AIDS GPS app on Market, but it did't work neither.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
I updated to Gingerbread (2.3.3) and my problem was solved. Hope it helps somebody!

I also installed GPS Aids and paid for it.
This program does automatic changes to your GPS settings.
Maybe it works for you.
I've read around the forum and other forums as well about SGS GPS issue. From what I read, seems like SGS users did get their GPS to work but inaccurately.
My SGS has no custom ROM, running on 2.3.3. My GPS seems to not work at all. Every time I enter Navigation, it just gets stuck on "Waiting for location".
A-GPS might help you
Maybe try faster fix

As you are using non official beta rom that might be the problem .
Flash stock Froyo with pit 512 and repartition checked .

Well, sorry if I forgot to mention. This problem has occurred since I'm in my stock Froyo 2.2. I've read somewhere about GPS only working in Europe and USA?

The majority work world wide .
I suggest a service centre as it may be hardware .

NOPE !!!
im in the same area as you,,
use gps aids (find in the market)
and it;s fixed
Have u tried g-spot fix?
/nik on MIUI
GPS hardware works as a standalone GPS no A-GPS no wireless no network towers .
Take sim out of phone turn off WiFi delete GPS data .
Go outside clear view of sky and use something like GPS Test to pick up satellites .
No satellites after half an hour = hardware fault .
All these aids and GPS fixes do not fix faulty hardware .

LOL !!
its nice name "g-spot fix"
i used that and gps aids its worked pretty fast !!
it just need 5-6 sec to locked the gps
Try GPS Aids from the market. You'll wonder
try the simple gps fix. works okay for me
I Deffinitly Tried everything, I tried the hardware fix, Change The Pool To Israel, France, Europe, everywhere, I tried the gps doctors , nothing works..
I just can't find any satelites, in the gps aid app when i press the GPS doctor it's telling me that the gps status is off.. is there anything that I didn't try and could work?
Please, I'm Desprit..
I Tried and the problem is at every rom
I'm Right now using ICS RC3.1 By onecosmic..

try gps status , to see if is an app error from navigator and other gps programs or RC3.1 probleme , and if are ICS probleme try first to flash devil led kernel
and a wipe cache
I though onecosmic's RC 3.X was only for the i9000 and not i9001.
Well I Tried and looked at the gps status, I didn't really get what am i sepoused to do there, I reset and cleared all gps data and downloaded it after wards..
the app didn't show any errors ..
Try to get GPS Aids from market. Had the same problem and that fixed my gps
Tried the gps aids too... Ain't working.. anything else?...
When I tried the gps doctor at gps aids, it showed me that the gps mode status is not working (the cube near it is red) and after trying the setup and the fix everything possibility it still ain't working... any idea?

Try to download the GPS test and install it, then go to settings and select clear agps, then update agps.
Oh and dont try the gps inside your house! Try it in the middle of the street! Gps signal is always reeeally weak or undetectable inside a house.
Unhappy to say, still didn't work!
Can you post the exact ROM and kernel version you are using?
Also try the following. Disable wifi, reboot phone, try GPS test.
I had GPS problems a while ago and the workaround was to boot the phone with wifi disabled. Something todo with init scripts messing up GPS/BT.
When in Google maps do you get the GPS icon in the status bar when trying to GPS fix?
try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STlb...xt=C3c039cbUDOEgsToPDskJOGd0pTyqyB6SPWL6OcwDB
Better to just send it back to samsung for them to fix if it's under warranty. If not, just sell it and get another one. I really like my SGS but i've given up hope for gps. I've just accepted it doesn't work and be happy the phone's great in everything else (like sound). Was kind of gutted having paid so much for a phone with a non-working gps but to be honest i have little need for a gps so when i need one i just use a dedicated one.
Now I'm using RC4.2 ICS By Onecosmic, Gps Still aint working well, I do get the gps icon... but still, my location ain't really accurate and I cant navigate or anything..
I tried the video that have been posted, None improvment...
Is there any thing else?..
The GPS issue with the i9000 is a mystery to me. I've tried software and hardware fixes to no avail with GB based ROMs. However, when I switched to Slim's ICS ROM my device started to register satelites again with the GPS test app from the market. Despite this when I open the maps app it takes forever to get a fix, so long infact that I give up long before it ever does
Same issue AOKP Milestone 4 ICS. Nothing on GPS Status.
I use market app GPS aid.

Okay guys, so I know that this question has been done to death but I really can't find anything about it.
I recently installed the most recent July 9th version of AOKP. Everything works fine except for my gps.
I have done "• If your GPS doesn't work after flashing, fastboot back to stock ICS, then flash this is CWM." this step in the AOKP ROM thread multiple times.
When I'm on stock, obviously the GPS works fine and can pick up satellites ect. However, when I run the GPS status app or the GPS test app now, it tells me the GPS is on, and the gps icon blinks in the status bar but no satellites are found. I have tried resetting GPS and getting Xtra data in the GPS status app. In the GPS test app, it tells me the GPS is on but the light is yellow in the box that says GPS status. I also have tried clearing and updating AGPS in this app.
Any ideas?
have the same questions , i use the CM and MIUI ,the GPS can not work ,but use the 4.1.1 the GPS works fine....
then i flashed the CM ang miui again ,the GPS can not work again ...
can not find a good way to solve it.

Go out of your house and wait for few minutes .. Getting configuration for first time may take time....

What you get is not really GPS data... If you get it only after flashing gapps, it indicates it is Google location service based on mobile network or WiFi...

I was outside when I was testing it.
It was the first time I needed GPS since I started using AOKP. I was fiddling with it in the parking lot for a while. When it didn't work, I went home and did what I said above and then sat in my car and tried to get it to work.

when i tested the GPS, the wifi and gprs were both off. Only the GPS is on .
Some of the gps files were tweaked in the past week or so (dev-team side). Later today I'll be building a new PAC with those updated files. If GPS breaks I'll see if I can't find a fix then. Might need a new GPS lib or some tweaking to the repos....can't really say anything concrete right now.
Bumping this thread again to see if anyone who has had this problem can help me. Just went back to stock after wiping everything. Made sure gps worked. Then I factory reset, cleared the two caches, and flashed AOKP and GAPPS.
GPS still does not work. No satellites picked up, just constant blinking up in the status bar.
