Gps problem

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..
Damn..

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!

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.

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.

GPS suddenly barely working

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?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

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.

HTC desire c stuck in landscape

Hi
I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with this. I have the desire c (branded to 3 and rooted) it has worked great for awhile but recently the screen keeps going into landscape and getting stuck there (even when holding it up right) I've tried turning auto rotate off but it still happens usually a restart fixes it for awhile but then it starts again. I found a app on the market that can force it back into portrait but then I can't make some apps full screen like YouTube. I've tried a factory reset a few times both through settings and by pushing power and volume up but not long after it starts happening again.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks.

Maybe you should backup your current rom, and then install a custom one maybe some files relating to the sensors could be corrupt.

Thanks i may try using a generic rom to see if it fixes it. What's the best way to back up my current rom? Gonna need to go back to it if I have to sent it off to get fixed.

Well I tried nameless Rom but it didn't fix it so looks like I'm gonna have to send my phone off for repair

Try calibrating your sensors.
Sent from my Texus 4 toaster

Thanks I tried that but no luck the odd thing is the sensor seems to work cause I can play that game where you control the ball with the sensor. But its started doing other stuff now like it keeps turning the screen on on its own and putting phone on loud speaker and pausing music etc.

Weird... The game works, but the accelorometer doesn't work at other places
Sent from my Texus 4 toaster

My wife's Desire C has the same problem. Stuck in landscape most of the time. Screen turning on, phonecalls sometimes suddently go to speaker. Sensors are working fine if you ask me.
I was trying to root it when I read this topic, I still might try a custom rom though.

Glad I'm not the only one who had this problem. Maybe there's a fault with some of the handsets or something.
I gave up and sent mine off for repair now.

Heyyy!!! Did u find any solution for your problem. My phone is also starting to behave in the same way....

I think I found the solution. It seems like the problem is with HTC's ROM based on ICS 4.0 and 4.0.4. I tried just about any ROM based on ICS (stock and custom) with any kernel combination and the problem repeats itself.
Flashed CM 10.1 and the problem is gone.

All others are sh**y unmaintained ports with tons of bugs that are never going to be fixed.

GPS Galaxy Si9000

I've got a Galaxy S for 3 years almost, I don't remember any time that this crappy gps worked well. I'm from Europe, and i've tried a lot of ROMs such like CM9, CM10, MIUI, Slim ROMs etc... Any suggestion?
Thanks

Recommended: and with years passing by, the antenna connectors must be even more faulty.

Which apps have you been using? I used sygic with my I9001 and it worked fine.
