Hi all,
Strange issue here. My GPS performance has always been great, but a couple of weeks ago it has suddenly bexomevunusable. Google navigation looses my position constantly and is extremely inaccurate. I downloaded GPS test and my accuracy is never below 150 feet or so.
I have tried factory resetting the phone and even tried installing rocket rom, no change.
Any ideas?

what rom u on?
check your kernel version.. lpt is known to be stable .. different rom use different kernel.. could be your kernel issue
Thanks for the responses, I first had issues under LPY, the thing is...I had been running it for over a month no issues, the GPS just started acting up one day.
Now I'm on the latest rocket rom, which uses a different kernel. So I'm having the issue with two different kernels.

I did search the forum but nothing match my case.
I'm using P1000N, gingerbread homberos kernel custom ROM Overcome Hermes.
For one week after flashing custom ROM my GPS work perfectly until it someday it can't lock location anymore. I try GPS test and found that my GPS can't catch any satellite.
I tried flashback to GB stock rom and it works.
Reflashing overcome and again it refuses to lock the sattellite.
Any idea what idea going on guys?

Try flashing the newest version of overcome, kratos, and tell me if it works.

Ok. I flashed kratos and now it works. Thank you..

Sometime works, sometime doesn't..

Might be a hardware problem... Never had any problems with mine and I tend to use it a lot...
Try checking the Overcome website under tips and tricks. There is whole section on gps settings. It made a night and day difference on mine.
I've been using Kratos 4.0.0 for some time, and my GPS is good one week and then the next week it's completely gone.
It's hit or miss from day to day.
Today I did a complete reload with Safe V5 GB, Pit, and T mobile modem only.
Then the Kernel
Then the Rom.
Angry GPS setting reset and the GPS is just not working. I use my GPS all day ever day, the Tablet sits right on my dash.
any help is good help. Thanks & Happy Holidays!
Hey everyone,
I flashed ICS a few days ago and then a day or two later flashed rocket rom. I am not really sure if this problem happened before rocket or not.
My phone randomly "shuts off". Maybe it doesn't wake up, I don't know how to tell the difference. I have to either pull out the battery or do a hard reset sometimes.
Any suggestions as to what I should do? Go back to gingerbread? Or reinstall rocket? flash a different ROM (midnote, etc)?
Thanks everyone!

There is an app called Wake Lock or Keep Awake or something that won't let your phone get into deep sleep so it doesn't happen.
Had the same problem, I remembered from the HTC HD2 forums something about avoiding it by turning off auto-brightness.
After having 4 sleep of deaths in 3 hours, I had it once in 24 hours. Dunno if that's what affected it, but much better. Try it.
Kernel related. Flash a different one. Wipe cache and dalvik after kernel flash.
Some kernels are plagued by this problem because of kernel base used. Minor hardware changes in newer batches do not like the old kernel base.
Im having trouble keeping satellites locked, not having a lock/getting a fix. Any hjelp appriciated.

I also have problems with GPS. However it also seems my compass is not exactly correct and unstable. There seems to be some correlation. How accurate is your compass?

Haven't tested compass yet.
Progress with gps testing:
Tried several radios without wiping the cache first (no help with gps, wifi&data ok)
Now using nexus radio kb3, seems to work , have to test some more
KB3 (and KF1) also fixed the "always roaming" problem.
To get kb3 to function, had to (wipe cache +)flash kf1 first, reboot, (wipe cache+) flash kb3
At this point, the key for successful gps is to wipe cache prior flashing radio (modem)
Hi, tried your way also but no luck so far. Still think that the compass is of influence. Sometimes GPS works and then suddenly compass becomes unstable and is deviating and at the same time the GPS looses fix but still has satellites in view. I am getting desperate. will try some more.
Btw I am on titanium rom

ok, too bad . I'm not totally satisfied in the way things work just now but at least i can drive with waze on for 10km (the longest i drove today). Tomorrow more test while driving to the cottage almost 300km away.
I have had it working on some older versions of ics roms, but really don't want to go back there..

Try JVK,JVT,JW4,JVU modems (from Rom Manager it's easy)
Toivottavasti joku noista toimii kunnol myös gps:s!
Muute, lisää mut google talkis [email protected]

Tried. Only with some luck.. GPS gets fix, keeps it for a while then loses fix and doesn't seem to get it back. Sigh.
Think I'm going totally stock or Darky's and test there. And then if things work like they used to, come back to ICS roms.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
I'm getting good results with JVT. GPS locks pretty well( tested on bus yesterday).
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
All modems worked as badly.
Then I changed kernel to semaphore and was able to drive 160 km with only few times losing fix.
More testing needed though..

nice, try also glitch kernel=)
Hi!
I had tried different modems but none of them worked so the only solution I found was to open up my SGS and then do some hardware fixes....had to bend the connection "wire" of GPS. Now the contact between GPS and antenna is good, so this means I get the satellite lock in few second, even indoors!
Just search Google or Youtube and you will find how to do it.
Cleared all GPS stuff with GPS aids (yes I payed 2€ for it but was getting desperate)
and now it has been working just great for about 4 days.
I also flashed another ROM prior to clearing, and it (gps) worked ok after the flash. I'm not sure which or both did the trick but now it's working..
I'm currently on slim ICS and my modem is JW4.

GPS AIDS is a great app to improve your signal.in settings u can NTP server,its usually set to world or north America.change to your region.this will improve your signal significantly.
It's my 3rd day with this rom and initially it was well behaved but since today have started it's odd behavior of lags and delays. It's frustrating when you have to wait a long time just for the dialer or calender to open at times !
I am using Semaphore kernel 2.7.4 sbf
Last month before I went to ICS I had JW6 and Midnight 0.5.5
Same problem.
Any suggestions please ?

Hello everyone!
Couldn't find thread like this, so I'll start one now.
I'm a noobi and can't post in dev section yet, but I would like to mention some issues with the nightlies of this great rom. Many thanks to the devs!
One of the few bugs I found is that the wallpaper dissapear very often. The black "pacman" WP shows up instead. Don't know what's trigging. It's randomly. It started on around the 22/6 nightly. I'm not sure. It's anoying, so I went back to the 13/5 stable(?) release for daily driver
I also had the setting FC after uninstalling, but that's resolved now on the latest, right?
Battery life went pore on the 28/6. Anybody else have that problem?
Also have problems with alarm clock will not kick in if app kill on back button. Would be great to have the clock app blacked out also
Overall the Pacman rom is very good. Many great features
I will continue post issues with the nightlies in this thread.

Flashed 29/6 yesterday. Pretty smooth, but still draining battery. Today I flashed 30/6 rom and imidiately problems. FC android.prosess.media and playstore. I did dirty flash and did not flash gapps. Will try that now. Later....
Did now flash the gapps too and all is is well. A good idea to always flash gapps too as told in dev thread. I'm still learning..

On 30/6 the wallpaper still drops out and replaces with stock pacman. Only happend once today. Quite annoying. Also the statusline FC sometimes like earlier nightlies.
On this (30/6) rom the "green power" app have FC sometimes too. And mobile network can't be deactivated at all. Maybe the couse of battery drain..?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
1/7, battery life much better, but sometimes FC com.android.systemui. Randomly I think. Will flash 2/7 soon if available.
