[HELP] GPS locking issues, possibly baseband? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a friend who bought a Galaxy S (GSM) in the US and is using it in Brazil. Everything works fine, including 3G/H. But it takes him like 10 minutes to get a GPS lock.
I used to get that in my Milestone 2 too, then found out it was a baseband thing. Using a Milestone 2 Baseband Switcher solved the problem.
Is there anything like that in the Galaxy S? Could this be any other problem, and, if so, is there any way to fix it?
Thanks!

Nope. Different networks, you might find some data works in I think its the 950 band which vf have in some areas. Sorry mate nothing really u can do either from what I can gather.... was the deal breaker for me anyway...

New Problem - Beep and then disconnect call

I just downgraded phone to 2.3.6 so I could wipe and OTA upgraded back to 4.0.4. Rooted w Mobile Odin Pro.
I am having a problem I haven't experienced before. Made a few phone calls since, and on multiple calls the phone will Beep once and then disconnect. I am not touching anything or doing anything. I am on ATT USA in CA. Anyone know what could be causing this?

I'm getting the same in UK under O2, have had it under many different roms. It will happen for the same number multiple times until I leave it a while and retry. I imagine it's a network issue, but if anyone has any other suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Same thing here!
I'm in Serbia and have the exact same problem. If I want to get out of that, usualy I have to restart the Note. Not very fancy.
Also when it gets in that state it does'nt receive cals or sms.
I did the same thing, from 4.03 to 2.36 - wipe, and then to 4.04
Probably a bug with the 4.04 modem?
Guess we could try flashing latest gb modems, see if that corrects it. There's a thread in development I think that has all modems listed.

Have had no issues since the other day when I posted, so I'm guessing it was network related. How about you guys?

Not a single issue either...however I did use mobile Odin and down to Gb again...but this time instead of OTA to 4.0.4 I actually flashed it direct with mobile Odin...with clear data etc... maybe that did it for me.. or maybe it was just network

[Q] After rooting and custom Rom can't connect to xda forums

Hey guys I picked up a bell mobility HTC One in Ontario Canada the other day. I rooted it and I stalled CWM and installed 2 different roms now one was CM the other was coin's. For some reason when I pull up the xda app or try to bring it up in the browser it never connects. I can loaf the home page but not the forums and the app goes nowhere. It worked fine on stock. I have the standard version of both roms installed. However this only occurs when I'm connected to the mobile network it works fine over WiFi. Any ideas?

Here I'll get the thread going.
Could this have anything to do with firmware?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Installing latest firmware only takes 5 mins, so it's probs ideal to give it a try. I was having issues with call quality but firmware fixed it!

I never experienced this, but if you tried 2 different roms, Firmware is your best bet for solving the issue. I am on bell too, so I am not sure why it happened to u and not me.
