Hi, try installing Fasterfix from Google Play and set your region. This has worked for me. I get a GPS fix much faster.

Will a factory reset solve my problem? I'm afraid not even a factory reset will do the tric?

How do you have done the upgrade? By Odin ou by CWM?
If you have done by CWM you have to do a factory reset!

I seem to have landed in the same boat. After countless iterations of flashing roms, the GPS seems to have just stopped working.
Did the Kies update help?
P.S - gps.conf is identical to the one posted. Currently on CM9 Alpha 0402 nightly.

The update to 2.3.6 did make my GPS worse. That was why i did the trick like i posted. And THAN the GPS stoped working.... I was my own fault, because the trick was for an SGS 4G.
Now i did an factory reset, but not with wipe data.... did not help...
Nobody nows?? :/

Hi.
I tried the hard reset, but the tablet does not reinstall the Android, returning as if nothing had been done. What can I do?
The biggest problem. I live in Brazil and this product was not released here yet.
There is another way to reset the device? I've tried both ways and nothing.
Thanks.
Theres no current fix for that problem except thru dell. I gotta ship mine to them.

Having the same issue. I know there's a way to do it via CWR but I have not figured how to yet... I did however flash a custom ROM (HoneyStreak) and it reset everything. Boa sorte!

I just restored mine, and it reset the device to STOCK (as if it was right out of the BOX). I used the NVFlash method. Click the link and follow the STEP by STEP Tutorial. It's very easy. After that, you can Flash a custom ROM, such as HONEYCOMB. Which you will need to be rooted, etc.

the system cannot access the driver. I think the problem is serious.
and the biggest problem: what should I do? do you believe that an ordinary technician should be capable to fix my tablet or is there a big difference between Galaxy and Streak? I really don't know what to do.
thanks again.

Hello Everyone,
Before proceeding, I have searched my problem, but I couldnt find an answer to it.
I am basically running GingerDX v26 on Stock Kernel, and whenever i try to install (flash) via CWM, it doesnt intalls,
I came to know about this, when I was trying to flash Sound Module by CKKnot, I didnt got the installation files in my respective directories. Furthermore, i tried flashing ICSified settings, but nothing happened.
Am I doing something wrong, or there is bug??
Please report me, and I will be really grateful to you guyzz!!!

What error do you get ? Try flashing another ROM. Does the ROM flash ? I had problems flashing ICS-ified settings on my GDx v27 (I finally did it)
So probably , we shared the same problem...
Or just use X8 Toolbox to re-install recoveries.

@Mayank77, the roms flash ONLY when i full wipe...:crying:
and this is the reason y i cannot flash some of the flashable zip files.,
PS, it completely shows me everything as normal script, but later when I locate the directory using root explorer, I dont have the files.
I noticed this when I was flashing CKKnots sound module, it related that "delete the files from soundfx folder" later when i flashed nothing was installed!! it was clean. rebooted multiple times but no chance, again i flashed, nothing happened.

You should've told the OP about the kernel requirements before suggesting him that and thus leading him to a soft brick.
I am almost sure he is on stock kernel.
and that ROM is NOT for stock kernel.

I rarely flash update zips.
I did have a problem with icsified settings. What i did was full wipe>flash gdx (i use v28 now), wipe again (to be safe), then flash icsified settings.

1. Go to Setting, Apps, find camera app and clear cache and data
If that doesnt work
Install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.cameraics I find it better than stock camera and it works flawlessly.

it doesn't work. tried it many times still not working always closing.
tried the apps same thing can use the rear camera but front hangs at close.
what should i do next?
Not sure what to do then.. if you cleared cache and data, tried an app camera from the play store... I really wouldnt know what else to do then.
try a third party app like what isipseven suggested. if not, might want to consider reflashing the phone with a kdz file. or bring down to your service centre

What does Odin have to do with flashing a Custom ROM?
Under Flashing ROM you can find the instructions.
You must have CWMR to do this. Here are the instructions for downloading and installing CWMR.
Make sure your phone is rooted.

Excuse me. I missed a night worth of sleep.
I thought you tried to flash a Custom ROM via Odin.
What version of Odin are you using?
Also, changing the baseband version will not do anything good.
Can you clarify "stuck at white android logo"?

Oh okay 4.38
New Experience Stock rom, it has a white Android logo, just like the "android" word before the bootanimation starts..
after this, for a long time, it will become black screen, and I tried to wait for the black screen to stop, but it doesnt I waited overnight..

Hey changing baseband wont work, i wont recommend you to change your baseband. You mite end up into hardbrick or no network problems.
Try install another rom first (try any)
then flash your desired rom.
Always DO full WIPE.

oops I already changed my basband, luckily its working fine... and autoradio said, if problem persists, try changing baseband..
my problem now
I had TWRP installed. Recently installed Euphoria-OS-1.1-20150414 but like other 5.1.1 roms it was having issues with the Double Tap to Wake. Euphoria-OS-1.1-20150528 came out and was supposed to fix the Double Tap to Wake issue. It does but it introduced a new bug. I can no longer get a GPS lock on my phone. Tried [5.1.1][39A]cm-12-20150518-temasek, but again no luck. I reflashed back to a VS980-39A-LP-OTA-Debloated but the GPS is still not working.
Finally got sick of not having GPS and just went straight stock with LG's Flash tool and the VS98012B_00.kdz and then did OTA upgrades back to 39A. Not rooted anymore, straight stock. Still no freaking GPS?! "GPS Test" app says "No Fix" and shows that there are "28 In View" but none "In Use"... GPS was working before the initial flash. I am only trying this in "Device only Mode" as I want to make sure that the GPS itself is working.
I would love to get a copy of your working /system/etc/gps.conf
and any ideas that you have to get this going again...
Apparently you joined the group of the VZW G2 with GPS issues. If you returned to pure stock and still nothing, can't think of anything else. Did you did anything physically to the phone?

Not anything differently than I had done before. I just found it very strange that it quit working when I went to Euphoria and now I cannot get it back. Flashing with KDZ file erases the entire device correct? Nothing should be able to make it through?

It's not Euphoria that caused the problem. I tried Euphoria before, and my GPS works fine right now (no need for .kdz).
It depends on which option you choose when going the .kdz route. If you choose "Normal Flash" mode, then it will not wipe data, but if you choose "CSE Flash" mode, then it will wipe everything.
Currently I'm running my own build of PAC MAN Rom, and everything is working fine, maybe you should try that Rom out.

The newest Euphoria update seems to have no lock for GPS on several users devices. I fully do not think it broke it permanently.
I did a normal Flash. I will try the "CSE Flash" mode and see if that helps. Thanks!

I dont think that it just died. I know that the fuse for locked/unlocked bootloader is one way, but cant be this case. That rom touched something and hopefully can be reverted. How? No clue
