Hi, try installing Fasterfix from Google Play and set your region. This has worked for me. I get a GPS fix much faster.

Tried that also

Seems like no one can help me....
Will a factory reset solve my problem? I'm afraid not even a factory reset will do the tric?

How do you have done the upgrade? By Odin ou by CWM?
If you have done by CWM you have to do a factory reset!

I seem to have landed in the same boat. After countless iterations of flashing roms, the GPS seems to have just stopped working.
Did the Kies update help?
P.S - gps.conf is identical to the one posted. Currently on CM9 Alpha 0402 nightly.

The update to 2.3.6 did make my GPS worse. That was why i did the trick like i posted. And THAN the GPS stoped working.... I was my own fault, because the trick was for an SGS 4G.

Now i did an factory reset, but not with wipe data.... did not help...
Nobody nows?? :/

Root doesn't change any files related to network. What ROM are you using? How did you root?

I rooted the phone with [PATCHED]V20S_00 using Smartflash. When I turn data on there are no arrows on the top of the screen.

Is it just a display bug, or are you really unable to access mobile internet?
If your really unable to access it, where are you from? Maybe you need another baseband.

Flash the baseband (the small file you get from kdz extractor) should be around 8 MB, from your own unpacked files. Then you ll get the baseband of Canada's version. Check if it solves it Maybe pretty sure we got different basebands...

have you check the APN setting?

Ok I made a new Apn for Koodo and all is good now. Thanks men.

Just register your network if you did not that (settings>mobile networks>network operators>choose automatically)
My problem solved with this..:good:

don't you see that the problem has been solved by creating an apn?

[Q] Xperia X8 On GingerXperia 2.3.7 Wifi Error

Hello i recently flashed Gingexrperia to my Xperia X8 and i can not open or close the wifi it says error.
1) I checked the wifi modules the tiwlan.ko and the sdio.ko and they are there (location : /system/lib/modules)
2) rooted phone
3) STOCK Kernel
4) Wifi had a problem even with android 2.1 and the thing is that Factory reset would usually fix it but i tried that on the 2.3.7 Rom and nothing.....
So thank you and please help.

Is your WiFi working when you are on STOCK ROM??
If no then it's probably hardware problem
If It's working on STOCK then check is WiFi working in ROM thread ,maybe developer couldn't solve wifi bug so he left it like that
If developer made WiFi working then try this:
Full wipe,flash chache partition,mount /system,format/system ,wipe dalvik chache,wipe battery stats
Re-flash rom

Thanks for your answer.
1)Yes the wifi worked occasionally with the stock rom and by occasionally i mean that when it was not working i had to factory reset a bunch of times to get it working.
2)No other Xperia X8 users have a similar problem by using this Rom (i checked and the only thing that was the cause was the kernel)
Also i have tried many Stock kernel Roms and they had wifi fix and wifi built in but the same thing happened every time.
3) I have already done those things but none of this work (or all of them simultaneously)

If problem occurs on every ROM you install then it's hardware or software problem(not sure where WiFi belongs)
But ask some other xda user who knows things better than me

you flashed gapps with wifi fix.That is the problem,I guess.
Re-flash everything again...DON?T change anything in file you've downloaded--->leave SuperSU and flash antoher gapps without wifi fix
GAPPS
New version v31b STOCK---> HERE
Try it,you have nothing to lose

Xperia X8 Kernel Tweaks for Wifi Use

Hello my xperia X8 had a problem with its wifi in custom roms.
Basically it had this problem many times in the stock rom too but it could be fixed by factory reset and Sony Companion.
Anyway am currently using Ginger DX and i cant use the wifi.
I tried tweaking the modules and things but nothing .
I need an app or a way prefferably without custom kernel (because i fried my phone ones with this) to be able to use the freaking wifi
if the custom kernel is the only was so be it.
The error that i get is this when i open the wifi and got to its settings it turns on and off forever and somethimes i get the error that the wifi settings is not responding.
Thank you
If you need any info please feel free to ask.

LOL...Omg..sorry for not being clear enough..paste them in system/lib/modules and give them permissions like the way i posted in screenshot using root explorer...or you can open the .zip file of your Rom paste the libs in the modules folder and flash it again...either way hope it works~!

Thank you i did it and now waiting for it to reboot

Well it improved a bit now when i turn my wifi on it says error below the wifi next to the square

Please help i need wifi and i know that my hardware is fine now

you need wifi? reflash kernel, full wipe, and reinstall the rom, do not apply tweaks which you do not have a knowledge to apply because it can lead to malfunctions

[Q] [CUSTOM ROMS] Why can't I download anything from the Play Store?

Hello guys, i habe a Problem. I like to flash new custom Roms frequently and for the past two days I am unable to download most of the apps I usually download for my daily use.
Can you help me with that? Do i have to flash the original Firmware to solve this Problem?

It shows no error message. It says "wird heruntergeladen" ("downloading" in german) but nothing else happens. It just doesnt download the app.
I now found out that it is possible for me to download anything if i turn off wifi and download it via mobile data. Does this help you?
