[Q] No GPS receipt with Kernel SpeedMod K9A

I have installed the Kernel SpeedMod K9A on my Galaxy S.
The GPS receipt is complete down, I think in the beginning with the speed Kernel (i1-2) the GPS receipt was fine.
The LBSTestMode show under „Get position test“
DOE: 1 Azimuth: xxx
System: 11:53:52 on in 2010-11-27
Elapsed (Sat): X.xxx (second)
No Satellites are found.
If I wipe the phone, the receipt is again fine.
Then the LBSTestMode indicates no entry DOE.
If I Recovery my Data back via Restore Mode, the error appears again.
I already try JI6, I followed "xda-developers - View Single Post - GPS still not working after JI6 Update- Please help", I used FasterFix for Europe settings in gps.conf- nothing.
Can anybody help me without: “so, make a wipe”

weird , i also installed K9A and didn't wipe a phone but the GPS work fine.
i use DXJPA.

Like this comment, my GPS works fine using DXJPA+K9.

SpeedMod lagfix and GPS performance.
Old thread but I just found it while searching for information on the issue I will describe below. Maybe this has already been addressed elsewhere and if so I apologize but I could not find info on this anywhere.
It has to do with SpeedMod Kernel, the lagfix options and GPS performance.
I am running on Doc’s 9.6.6 ROM, XFJS5, JPY modem.
Until yesterday I had SpeedMod 13KA with the tweaks (first 4 enabled) and lagfix (first 3 on ext4 the loop ones on ext2; no system conversion and Bind_data=false). My GPS reception was horrible – loooong times to lock and very inaccurate, jumping all around the map, lagging behind and loosing signal easily.
Yesterday I swiched to SpeedMod K13B, I enabled the tweaks and default lagfix but without touching DATA_LOOP, CACHE_LOOP & DBDATA_LOOP settings. These remained “=false”. My GPS performance improved miraculously! Lock in fewer than 10 seconds, accuracy 5-10 meters.
This morning I put data_loop, cache_loop and dbdata_loop on EXT2. GPS performance was terrible again. I used GPS Test and I could only find 1 (one!) satellite in over a minute of waiting under open, clear sky. I then disabled all the LOOPs again (all “=false”), and behold! I could find 7 satellites in less than 10 second, locked on 6 of them in 12 seconds and on the 7th in less than 20 seconds. Accuracy was 5 meters.
Do you know why this happens?

Today I installed the K13E version on my stock Froyo 2.2.1 device and I have the exact same problem:
The GPS device will just find 1 satelite and no fix. I have only replaced the stock kernel (J5) and haven't applied any lag fixes yet.
Does anyone perhaps know of a fix for this? Could anyone maybe explain how and where to set the abovementioned changes?
Many thanks in advance!

Maybe it is hardware related. Try this?

[Kernel] Dragon TEST... SetCPU profiles support...

http://www.tabbal.net/files/Dragon-Kernel-Voodoo-OC-v3.3-T1.zip
Dragon 3.2 w/ a fix that seems to work for setCPU screen off profiles setting the CPU to low values. Please note: The max freq in setCPU for that profile is what will be used, no scaling. I set it to 200Mhz and it's working fine every time I fire it back up.
The original patch is from here: https://review.source.android.com//#change,20804
Created by coolbho3k for the Nexus S, I backported it to Froyo. If we get good test reports from others, I'll push the changes to github tomorrow so other devs can use it.
When testing, please either use known good OC/UV settings, or don't OC/UV at all. Phantom OC/UV crashes won't help us know if this is working well for others. I've tested it with and without, turning my phone on/off like a madman... working fine so far.
Hmmm... early reports aren't looking good. Perhaps something isn't quite right. lol... Be warned if you try it, read all the comments. Might have to declare this one a fail. Too bad the NS cpu-freq driver is so different.. maybe I'll try pulling the whole thing over..

Downloading now report back tomorrow! This sounds promising.

Will test as soon as i get mine back to stock! Its just what I felt like doing today.
I did have a question..
Do we need to adjust it to say.. performance,on demand powersave? or will it just default?

just flashed it on my phone its been running warm hot even then after about 10 15mins of running it reboots

ya i know an its not even o/c its set to only max at 800mhz lol i think im gonna reflash to 3.2 to be safe but its a step in the right direction good try

Ok Im gunna have to try and install setcpu first.. otherwise my phone loads and restarts a few minutes into being on the desktop.

Testing now, Just UV'ed my clocks, and now setting profiles.

Observation so far:
SetCPU, and Uvolting seems to lock up my phone, and cause a reboot, and phone is pretty warm/hot.

Confirmed I can not run this either.

Couldn't use it. Phone would shut off as soon as scanning started. Kept happening everytime I tried to start phone :¬( going back to 3.2 has been stable at 1.4 ghz.

Im having better luck using profiles with 3.2 than with this one. I've been using set cpu since 3.2 came out with no problems @1.4 and on powersave when screen is off. I have made no changes to the UV settings.

yikes ! i smell quadrant score in few min lemme install it

Has anyone got a "kernel panic" on this before? I'm not sure what I could have done wrong.. had to Odin back to stock. Forgot to back up before I flashed, shame on me. lol.

kernel panic wipes your data ? everytime kernel panicked on me i just restarted =D

Nah, it didn't wipe my data. I had to Odin back to stock because I couldn't go into Clockwork Mod Recovery Mode. It would go into Kernel Panic and it reset all my launcher settings....

Was running hot for me also. Back to stock and then to bionix .
I think that when you get things fine tuned you will have a great Kernal.

2.6.35.7 vs 2.6.32.9 kernel

Okay here's the thing,
my last most stable ROM I was running on was CacingKalung's MIUI. And that had a wakelock issue too. I'm pretty sick of it, so I decided to try Edowar's CM7 and maybe even Bumblebee rom.
when I flashed to Edo's CM7, all was good, no wakelocks, apn thing I had it fixed by using yashwant's APN fix.. until I ran Temple Run. The frames were skipping really bad, in the store part the Back button couldnt even been seen until scrolled up. The vines kept disappearing, and the gameplay was even worse, laggy. Mind you I updated the game already.
I never had this issue when I was on 2.6.32.9. So tell me, with me switching back to .6.32.9 now, what do I have to lose? Please share your thoughts and opinion!
PS: Thinking of going back to Maclite rom, least it's stable.

Bro its too early to comment on difference between these two kernel.
for .32.9 kernel various custom kernel are available while for .35.7 only TJ's custom version is available and I think it need more support from kernel developer.
till now if we think for .32.9 kernel, mOCk is best for gamer.

I have found that the best gaming combo is maclite with bumblebee kernel for mortals(non devs like me) and newer gpu drivers as far as benchmarks go. It also gives a superfast rom. What I have found so far is that eventhough there is a scarcity of custom kernels for .35 the situation will not improve any better than the performance of tj with a score of 27.9. I have already achieved 27.7 at 1.4 GHz with the. 32 kernel and 27.2 with stock speed in nenamark 2.2. Still this is just my opinion and it is very likely that your device may hit tjs score.

Between .35 and .32... seem that .35 hasn't been hacked with wakelock trick while wifi is on. This hack is needed to prevent our device to meet Sleep of Death when it goes to sleep while wifi is on.

but honestly i tried STOCK sharp rom to play temple run and even on that the frames were choppy, graphics n sum sprites were missing. ugh.
anyone with good batt life on either roms can u guys share your rom,kernel n config? my phone lasts about 8-10 hrs a day only if heavily used non stop.

I'm on latest edowar's CM7, got lag issue when playing Temple run on 35.7 kernel, but then after I set the I/O governer to Deadline, and CPU gorvener to smartassv2 or interactive X, it seems better.
From my experience with this rom, the gpu lib is not very good to play HD games (got so much lag when playing Asphalt 6, but not dungeon defender 3), or very much like fast moving graphic game like temple run. I've test to install the older gpu lib from 32.9 kernel (just the gpu lib, not the kernel itself), it gave me back low nenamark2 value, but the lag is gone like 32.9 kernel cm7, however, it seems making the fast locking gps not to be that fast anymore (wonder why, still need to play2 around again).
About the wifi, it really piss me off as it will brings the phone to sleep of death each time it goes to sleep although I set the wifi sleep policy to 'never'. however, the workaround would be to install Advanced Wifi Lock from the market for now.

Because of the wakelock hack, when wifi is on, our device will never go to sleep. So it's very recomended to turn on wifi only when we need it and turn off if we've done. so our device will able to enter sleep mode when in idle to save power.

Are you sure? While wifi was on?
As far as I know, mOCk and SD and also last TJ's miui kernel have been patched with wakelock if wifi is on.
Or maybe you can use wifi library and driver from miui just to make sure.
If still remain then I don't have an idea for that problem.

thanks for the info bro. I am certain that it happened. I'll try again and see.
EDIT
I can't replicate the problem. Though the lockscreen turns on, I'm able to get back without any problems. So I think may be its gone now. thanks anyway.....
UPDATE
fixed sod after using different wifi lib files

[SOLVED] Slim ICS 4.2 sleep problem

[SOLVED]
Just re-flash
Running Slim ICS 4.2 and Semaphore ICS 1.2.6s which is oc'ed to 1.2Ghz with smartassv2.
Only app installed from market is Apex launcher, which isn't being used anyway.
Whenever the screen goes off and the system reaches 'sleep', the phone ALWAYS reboots into recovery... and it's really annoying :laugh:
Any ideas anyone?

Sorry guys, been busy so haven't been able to update this (phone was actually fixed the same evening). All I did was re-flash, along with the obvious other things like cleaning.
@slaphead20
OC was my first point of call, so I turned it back. I was left with the same issue, but interestingly with the clocks and gov set back to default it took alot longer for the phone to reboot into recovery after screen off and then sleep.
@tchindalia
That's what I did in the end, it's always my last option though (as it should always be).

Then we can talk to slimROM comunity.

I have two problems, maybe someone can help:
1) PacPerformance won't keep statistics of the CPU frequencies reset, even when I press the button multiple times. After waiting a little (usually around 30 minutes) it adds the recent frequencies to the formerly deleted ones..
2) My phone goes to deep sleep quite rarely (~10%), even in the night, airplane mode on. WLD doesn't detect anything above 10mins wakelock, Battery statistic say phone wasn't active.. is PacPerformance wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Results from Performance Control in the last night and WLD for the last 15 hours:
And the lowbat_wake_lock is the only significant wake lock, in CPU wakelock there is nothing above 30 minutes..
Battery shows no active CPU for the time of charging, so why does it stay up?
Shall I try to freeze the apps one by one looking for the right one or is it more probable that the kernel causes it?

To freeze the apps one by one is one of the solutions. It could be many things and many conditions that cause the problem (3G always open, GPS always open, WiFi always open, bad install, gapps, some apps etc). I suggest you first to close all the connections and check if the problem persists. If it does reflash the rom and new gapps (avoid full gapps and prefer the pico pa gapps) with full wipe (Dalvik Cache/System/Cache/Data/Internal Storage) and without your apps. Five minutes after make a check with Pac Performance to see if you got the proper deep sleep value. If everything is ok install your apps one by one to see which cause the problem.
Btw try this combination: smartassV2 CPU Governor with deadline I/O Scheduler.

At night I have it in airplane, GPS is perma off, wifi only on when at home..
I let it run for the day now, as seen on the pictures..
Anyway thanks for the help, I think I will start freezing anything I don't use daily..

Hey guys. I'm thinking to flash a kernel. Would you suggest any kernel by android andi or cropol kernel or stock slimkat kernel is good for better battery life?
And if i update my baseband, would it help? And if i back up a nandroid and restore it later, will my baseband turn back to normal? I have xxamg4 baseband atm.
Thank you so much and im sorry for too many questions.

AnyKernel is similar to the built-in Kernel. Cropol and F_Kernel from Fred68... are interesting alternatives because of OverClocking and min frequency. I made very good experience with F_Kernel, specially for battery savings.
Baseband is diffcult. Depends somtimes on your provider and location. After testing several Basebands I'm back on AMG4. With others I had often Problems with Wakelocks which ends in Battery drain.

Thank you . I'll keep my baseband as same and will try f_kernel then. I checked other roms but guess slimkat is the best about battery life. Just having a bit issue when I have my Wifi on. I'll check f_kernel. Thanks again. It helped me a lot.

Sorry i can't post in the original thread. So i will post it here. @Fred6681: 1150 MHz and SlimKat is no problem for me. No reboots, no force close[emoji3].

1-Andi said in the original thread that the built in kernel of the rom is better and newer than any kernel, by himself. So, you might just keep it or try others like cropol (for oc)
2- I had ANA2 baseband atm I flashed the rom and experienced some 2g - 3g issues. Then I updated to ANE 2, much better now
3- Other than that, anyone alse having the clock freeze bug? Mine had the minutes ok, but one hour late, i just change the 12-24hs box twice and it was fixed.
4- My AOSP keyboard and google keyboard do not recognize when I longpress the "." button to use the ¡? etc... symbols.
