Help me fix GPS - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi my GPS is ***** up. It worked a couple months in the beginning but since then it been dumb. I installed team nyx rc.5 and installed a GPS fix and it worked until you rebooted it and had to do it again + im on jellybean now.
Something i have to do with the hardware or something? Or someone is going to make a GPS fix for JB?
Thanks for help :good:

To complicated anyone else comon?!!

Wi-fi nor working

Hey!
I have just bought an htc touch diamond, but after a couple of days, using the wi-fi regularly, it seems like its not working anymore. Strange enough, the wi-fi wont even turn ON for some reason. I have tried to restart the device, but its still not working!
Please help me.

Try a hard reset after backing up your phone.
The latest norwegian rom is 1.93.409.1
Thanks for the reply mate. I really appreciate it! Will probably try it out later today. I really hope it works

[Solved] GPS Fix for CM10.1 that worked for me.

I found this fix which actually worked for me. I cleared the Data for Google Services Framework and I got GPS signal in about 10 seconds and it locked onto 8 satellites and stayed locked. See link here GPS Fix
Previously to this I got no signal at all. I tried various apps and still got no connection. I had this issue for a few months and thought that I had a problem with CM10.1 even after I did a complete wipe of data and reinstalled various ROM's.
I'm currently on AndroSlim 4.2.1 and seems to be fine at the moment. I was just soooo happy that I thought I should share this with you guys.

Hello,
It's not that I didn't get a GPS location, but after upgrading van CM10 to CM10.1, the app Endomondo can't measure the distance correct. After biking for approx. 50 meters, it states that I have already done another kilometer. (I rode a trail of 2 kilometers, and afterwards it said I biked for 31 km)
Installing a previous version of Endomondo does not help so I think the problem is with the 4.2 version of android.
Does anyone have that same experience?
Thanks.

Yeah I have the same problem. I tried Cardiotrainer as well and had the same problem.
Edit: This problem has been filed as a CM10.1 bug: code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=6883
I was searching this answer for years
big thanks
Thank you you are a genuis. I will spread the word.
Unbelievable, after clearing data for Google Services Framework almost instant gps fix!
Gps is again usable!
Thanks, it realy helped.
It is works on i9001?
Thank you
Registered just to say thank you!
I've been struggling with the crap GPS reception for the past 6 months where it seemed to say "GPS signal detected", but saw zero satellites. Can't believe this ten second fix got me up and running. I was about to take the phone apart again for the hardware bend up the antenna fix. Glad this worked.
Thanks!
Maybe it is because it is version 4.2.1?
Superb!!!
tested and successful!
:good::good::good:
thank you!
on my i9000 the GPS never worked

liquid smooth 2.2 GPS problem.

as the title suggests my GPS is not working...
i have it enabled but all applications say to go and turn it on as if it wasn't. GPS status crashes even before entering so something is up.
i have made clean installs and i have also tried installing a different ROM, do a GPS lock (which works flawlessly), then install liquid and try it but too no avail.
any help on how i can troubleshoot this would be appreciated.
sent using a cool phone...
AGPS Fix posted on XDA may help ..##
test GPS with a clean stock rom .
jje
it does not help.
that fix is meant for cases when gps takes long to lock.
in my case gps is seen as off by the system even when it is enabled.
i have tried even using other gps libraries, no luck either.

stock rom works perfectly fine
as does cyanogenmod and others... it seems like it is this ROM in particular, but no one else seems to have this issue with this model.

I'm having this issue too, I've seen a few others post the same problem but no answers yet.
Problem sorted!
I tried to post a link for you but XDA won't let me because I haven't posted enough on here? just google "goo liquidsmooth nightlies"
I flashed it and it solved my GPS issue. It seems to have done wonders to my battery life too, lasting well over a day

GPS problem with CM10.1

Hey everyone,
So I just installed CM10.1 (cm-10.1-20130722-NIGHTLY-m7spr.zip) on my HTC One Sprint variant. Everything works fine except for GPS.
GPS does connect but it does not move as I start driving. It is really slow and cannot keep up with the car. And no I'm not speeding, only going about 60mph lol. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any way to fix the problem?
Thank you in advance.
I noticed this same problem while i was trying to use mapmyrun, coulndt find anything on it either so i just switched to viper rom

Gps problems with jelly bean

Hy guys,
I have tried a lot of roms but always I have the same problem with GPS. It`s slow and unstable and won`t connect to satelite.
How can say for me a good rom?
Thank u
you may have to change your ntp server http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/ use root explore and search in system/ect/gps.conf
I had changed...for my country but the same problem
When you look in different developer forums like CM 10.1 or 10.2 it seems to be a "popular" problem with jelly bean....in 10.2 (Android 4.3) there seems to be an improvement... look from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039755&page=553
Someone hast make a install.zip with the new GPS-Files of Android 4.3...i don`t haven`t tested it, but some write that it works ...:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::highfive:

OK.. ICS roms have the same problem?
It might be a HW problem.
I have the same issue. I'm considering sending it to service or fix it by myself and lose warranty.
I have found some fixes.
http://androidum.blogspot.ca/2011/0...howComment=1334775736693#c7469811299373050415
This worked for me for some time. Try to put something there to make pressure on that spot. If it helps it's HW problem.
And here are lose-your-warranty fixes:
