[Q] gps not working!

hi, i use ginger dx since the first version and am having the same problem since the beginning. i cant post in the gdx thread coz i m nt experienced enough. well, the problem is with GPS. my phone never shows the gps idle or working icon on the statusbar. and my position on the gps, too is never accurate. i tried faster fix and many apps but the problem persists. please help me!
It's strange, I never had such problem. For me GPS "only" is turning off data traffic when appear. Try to do "clean" installation of GingerDX (flashtool+root+xRecovery) and full wipe after. Did you had such problems on stock rom?

Use the fasterfix app again, set location. Or maybe you can try using gps libs from FreeXperia team.
Edit;
Backup first and copy all of this into your /etc/gps.conf file. Erase every line in there other than the one about NTP_SERVER before copying this into there.

Gt i9000 Problem with Camera (especially video)

Hi everyone...
i have this rom : cm-9-20120611-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd
Camera have some problem.
Sometimes Camera doesn't work (not so often).
ALWAYS Video Camera doesn't work!
Any solution?
thanks
which rom did you use previously. did you follow the instructions as stated on the CM9 Nightlies thread.
I'm thinking this is caused by some installation problems, Try reflashing the ROM and see if it helps(with wipes if required).
Good Luck
Can you play videos and stream with youtube? do you have a bigmem kernel?
I flashed with new releas of 06.15 and it's seems to work... thanks dude!
Problem again.
Photo works perfect.
Video start to rec but the image force close....
My friend (with the same device) has the rom of 06.04 and work everytingh. can i flash my rom (06.15) with older one? just "update" from CWM?

Something must went wrong while flashing. Try again.
I have cm10, but for I9000B, and everything is working fine, but since it is different from I9000, I don't know.
Try to reflash it, see if it works

GPS FIX - LG servers / Mackey's FIX / Tweaked by DCOP7

Hi,
I had a few problems with GPS in IZS so I search a bit and try to compile a fix. For me, this appears to be working... But other testers and appreciated
You just have to do the fowling:
In recovery, flash the attached zip
After reboot, using a app like GPS Test (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&hl=en), clear AGPS data
Please, give feedback.
UPDATE:
I've uploaded a new fix (GPS_fix_2_world). This is a different fix from the other, one that isn't depended on any continent.

UPDATE2 - NEW FIX - From Mackey
I've upload a new GPS fix - GPS_FIX_WORLD.zip
This fix is based on Mackey/ShenDu/MokeeOS's ROM, and to be sincere, it is the best fix I've ever seen so far. I've got a lock within a minute without any data/wifi on, without any AGPS data...
Steps for this fix:
Turn off wifi/mobile data (so that it wont download any new AGPS data)
Clear the AGPS data (to be a clean slate)
Reboot to recovery
Flash the fix
Clear cache and dalvik cache (this is the first time I tried and it seems a important step for the fix to work)
Reboot and that's it
Please, try it and give feedback!
UPDATE3 - NEW FIX - Using LG server
After many hours of testing... He is my conclusion. The GPS alone can't get a useful signal...
To make this new fix work...
turn off the AGPS*
clear the AGPS data
delete the files (not folder) in /data/gps
reboot to recovery and flash (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42195149&postcount=56)
reboot
open an app like GPS Status and download the AGPS data only from the app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2)
* To turn on/off the AGPS go to localization services and turn on the option that is something like "use wifi and/or mobile data to determine your location"
Don't use AGPS from localization services... You just have to download the AGPS from time to time.
UPDATE4: NEW GPS FIX TWEAKED BY DCOP7
I've made a new fix and I want a few testers. Who can help me?
To make this new fix work...
turn off the AGPS*
delete the files (not folder) in /data/gps
reboot to recovery and flash GPS_fix_tweaked_by_dcop7.zip
Turn on mobile data of Wifi and open GPS Status or something. This will download a file explained below
Need to turn on mobile data or wifi when getting a GPS signal every few days to refresh the file downloaded in point 4.
* To turn on/off the AGPS go to localization services and turn on the option that is something like "use wifi and/or mobile data to determine your location"
What is the difference between this fix and other fixes?
This fix is configured to download the information: Long Term Orbits. This information is like and enhanced AGPS data. The Mackey fix sometimes use this information, that is why some people get a lock very fast, even if they clear AGPS (this information isn't cleared when GPS Status clean the AGPS data). To clear every bit of AGPS data, delete the files present in /data/gps (point 2).
What took me a long time to understand is when this information is downloaded, what interval, etc... It was difficult to understand why the Mackey fix download this information without any patter. That is why, with Mackey fix, after a few days, the GPS performance dropped.
I think I figure it out. Please, test this fix and give some feedback.

Cm10.1 and no change after flash. Maybe the issue is CM itself
I'll try another place with IZS tomorrow.
Thank you for your work, I am curious to read other experiences on JB.
It was my reason for switching from JB to IZS. GPS never worked for me on JB, but it's working as a blast on IZS. I don't know how huexxx did it, but I always have a fix within 5 seconds outside, and within 20 seconds inside.

I'll do some tests. But apparently, in the past few hours, I can't get any signal too... But about 4, 5 hours ago it worked great.
Back to IZS 5 minute ago. But GPS in my IZS working (don't remember because I used CM from last month): 7 satellite after 1minute, and after flash the fix, it's .... still working, but a bit slower. LOL

I tried every one of them and nothing worked. I think it is CM related. Now I'm back to IZS. I noticed that there is no gps.conf there. Does a new gps.conf make any difference then?

[Q] Anyone had this problems with CM 9.1.0d ?

I have just installed a new ROM in my Milestone for first time and used CyanogenMod 9.1.0d
Everything looks amazing but I noticed my soft home button doesn't work AT ALL, camera button isn't working either, I cant see the lock screen as other versions, can't open Google Play app and can't synchronize my Google account so I don't have access to my phone contacts
Have someone else happened (and fixed) this problems??
Thanx
Did you flash GApps?
??

never seen
never heard
i had every possible rom for this device (910d right now) and never had button problems
did you follow http://www.mrmuh.com/2012/01/update-a-motorola-milestone-from-motorola-firmware-to-cyanogenmod-7/ ?
if not use this guide replace cm7 with cm9.1.0d
100% working
I fixed the problem already but forgot to erase this trend... the problem was after wipe I installed CM9 and Gapps together and got that problem... after wiping all again I installed CM9 rebooted and installed Gapps and worked fine.
Still have no idea what that bug ever happened but i fixed :laugh:
But I changed CM9 to CM7 cause my battery was dropping from 100 to 0 in 4 hours, not good if I'm too much time out of home. Thanks anyway for your interest
