Need help! NO GPS!!! - LG Optimus Black

Hello! Please help! I have no GPS signal. ROM+KERNEL [GB 2.3.7] [2012-AUG-17] boype's modded CyanogenMod 7. GPS fix doesnt help! And i'm in Russia now.

I am not quite sure if GPS works in Russia since they have their own system called GLONASS. Did you try "Check GPS" or something similar? Does your OB see GPS satellites?

Install FasterFix
Then reboot, install GPS Test and clear AGPS data and then try again.

Thank You! It helped!

Navigon on Gingerbread Milestone Rom's

Hello together,
i want to use Navigon on my Gingerbread Milestone. But, like you know 2.6 is not working with it. So i get Navigon 3.5.4 now but i get a message if I start it.
I read several other threads here about the problem but i dont get it working.
So did someone could explain me detailed how to get it working on my milestone ? Even someone here have already a working milestone wirth gingerbread and navigon ?
Regards,
Snot
I will recomend Sigic (Mobile 10 or Aura) In my opinion Aura is better.
:-D I use Sygic already
But i feel that Navigon is more confortable ?!
I have the official release of Navigon 3.6.0 and CM 7.1, and it's working great.
No need to do anything specific.
Motonav is best !
Navigon is the best option for me.
Do Navigation-Apps work on CM on Milestone? I have heard that they still does not work because of GPS issues ...

Galnet Miui v2 Compass Problems

Hey, i am currently on Galnet's Miui v2 and i have been on Miui ever since MCG v1. My problem is even though these were all great roms that my compass seems to be not working. I installed the Compass App from the market and North is everywhere expect in the North
I am aware that the changelog of Galnet Miui v2 indicates that the compass and accelerometer should be working flawlessly but mine seems to be defect.
Has anybody an idea how to fix this?
I have the same problem with CM7 on which is MIUI based. I tried to calibrate it few times, but it didn't helped, so i think it's a bug in CM7.
Hi!
I have installed Galnet MIUI v2 rom and have the same problem with compass. And my GPS can't find my precise position, the accuracy is about 1500-2000m. I'm from Europe and does anebody knows what kind of modey is used in this rom. If it's not european, then how can i swith to one. Btw, does anybody knowswhere can i get google maps?
Tnx!
Google maps? On the market if u don't have it, then you'll have to flash gapps.

And you can find more modems here. They should work for miui too. I'm from europe too and i'm using the cyanogenmod default - jv9. Just flash them in cwm... Try more modems and you'll see which works better for you. And to know what modem u r using: go to settings -> about phone and look at baseband version.

Tnx!
I've found .zip file with gapps? but it must be installed throug Recovery vode, is there any way to install them like normal apps, i just don't want to mess things up. And i just need the goole maps and Locator, is it possile to install only them without the rest? Could you tell me about the modem, should i install the jvp or jvo if i'm in europe, or the default one is fine. If i go everything right, then the modem should be installde through CWR?
Gapps:
You have to install it through recovery mode, it shouldn't mess anyting up, but if you are scared, you can still do a nandroid backup. Install this one. If you don't want to install all, you can try playing with the zip, but i won't recommend you to do so or you can try to delete the apks from /system/app. But SGS has enough space for apps, so there's no reason why to do that. I thing you also need Market...not only google maps and locator...at least for installing google maps and locator .
Just flash the zip though CWM and install desired apps from market...
Modem:
I'm from Europe too and i use cm default - jv9. Try more modems and compare signal, battery life, etc... Then use the one which worked best for you and post it here for others . And yes, flash it from CWM as usual.

This seems as it's a network provided location, not the gps one. Is your gps indicator (in status bar...) blinking? If so, wait 'till it stops blinking and then you'll have gps provided location... This can take few minutes
Thank you, that relly helped a lot! I guess i'm going to stik to jvk for a couple of days to see how it works. I'm using galnets miui v2, it has market app and gmail, that's why i was askig about installing gapps separately, though they could cause issues. Going to give it a try. Tnx again!
So you don't need to flash gapps, just install desired apps from market...And if i helped a lot, you can hit my thx button
I know that, but they aren't shown in the market.
To get back on topic here, has anyone gotten the compass to work? I don't get a compass reading at all. I have tried re-flashing the JVP modem, the compass still doesn't give a reading.

nope, can't fix it
Got it, found this googl app in the web. After installation icons maps latitude, laces, and navigation apperared. Exept navigation(for some reason it stuks on navigation avaliability check) everything works fine. But my GPS still can't fund me precise position, it jumps for one place to anotheraround the place where i am. Should i flash another modem? Maybe you couls adviseme how to fix this.
Tnx.
I would try different modems (flash in CWM).

[Q] No GPS in CM7.1.0 BETA FXP011b RELEASED?

I am new here and I got my Xperia X8 yesterday. I tested jerpeleas ROM, very nice work!
GPS should work in the ROM, but I cannot start apps like runkeeper, runtastic, endomondo or GPS Test. It appears a warning: Application stops unexpacted. Do I have to change any settings or run a compatibility mode (how/where?)?
Many thanks in advance, Andreas
Try doxianh's ROM FroyoBread. In this are working all In 2.3.X ROMs usually not working camera, sometimes GPS, 3D,2D... We have fully working 2.2 ROMs so why do you using 2.3 ?
Sorry for my bad English.

Yes, that would be my last resort. But it must be possible to get it to work. It should work according to developer thread
now I use CM7 (2.3.4) v.138 HACKDROID, GPS works well there, fantastic!

[Q] GPS in custom X8 roms

I'm wondering why GPS didn't work for me never on custom roms which had GPS "fixed"? I've been using Floyo 2.2 version stable rom for some time on my X8 and it supported GPS but it didn't worked for me never, just didn't pick the signal even on gps tests, now I'm using latest the new CM7.1.0 STABLE FXP027 with unlocked boot loader and latest kernel and it's says that GPS is roking but it didn't work for me eighter not showing sattelites not picking signal. On stock 2.1 android it worked flawlesly so I doubt it's hardware problem. I also done factory cleaning when I flashed roms/kernels. So here I'm asking what can I do to make it work, where I should start first?
Thanks in advance!
Try "faster fix" app from Market to fix

[Q] GPS doesn't work [CM 10] In Stock ROM works

Hi Guys !
I have an Optimus Black (P970H).
Recently I installed the Stable version of Cyanogen Mod 10 (10.0.0-p970)
My problem is, using the LG Stock ROM, my GPS works fine.
The version that I'm using is the Brazilian version of the Gingerbread ROM (V20A)
When I installed CM 10, the GPS stoped working.
It doesn't fix do any sattelite and using softwares like GPS Test, shows no sattelites at all.
Tomtom doesn't work at all and Google Maps keeps "Waiting for Position"
I wish to know if there's any fix that I can try.
I know that on the folder /etc resides the configuration files for the GPS (gps.conf and gps_brcm_conf.xml).
Can I use the stock files to make the GPS on CM 10 work ?
If you guys know something that can help me I will be glad.
I'm on Brazil, South America.
Thanks to everyone!
Help!!
I have the same problem! I kinda really need GPS. And I don't wanna reveert back to ICS. Can anybody please help me please!!!
If you used the search, you would find several threads about that...

On CM10 it doesn't work properly, and it won't work later, as there are no new nightlies of CM10. So nobody is developing this rom (its core).
dcop7 made some files that can help a bit, but it's still far from the performance you get on LG's ICS or CM10.1-based roms.
On CM10.1 though, it's working fine now, as the issues with gps were fixed a few months ago.
You can get some info about the issue here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230395
I would suggest you to try CM10.1-based roms, as they improved a lot lately.
