[Q] how to identify if gps is broken or if it's related to rom/kernel?

Hello! The gps used to work on my Ideos X6 but since a while back I can't get a fix. I thought it was because of flashing different roms and changing kernels that something wasn't compatible but now I've reverted back to stock with SUT and it still doesn't work. I've tried a bunch of gps fix-apps too but no luck. Do you think the gps is broken hardware wise?

try mokee it is beat for GPS
gps locks just in sec's

Try this, install fasterfix and choose a server for your region. In settings go to my location settings, disable "Automatic assisted gps" and "use wireless network" leaving only "use gps sattellites" option enabled. Now install GPS Test and go out into a region where you can see the sky clearly and fire up gps test and see if you get any sattelites. When the big yellow dot becomes green you have a lock, see if you can get any sats.

unfortunately my phone also faces gps problem but not your kind. Its just takes too long to get a f*** lock. Maps app shows direction correctly and turns when I turn, but the navigation app just wouldn't lock soon enough. So I guess the problem might be handset related, each phone behaving uniquely....... So I think its best if you flash stock and return your phone for a replacement before your warranty expires...
just my 2 cents,
whyzee

I had tried all those gps fix apps with no luck. I finally managed to get gps working by flashing an old stock rom with old kernel via SUT. I think the huawei versions' gps doesn't work with all kernels. As far as I can remember the gps stopped working after flashing one of the MIUI ICS roms, but I'm not sure. I'm going to try and root now and install Maclite, cause I'm almost sure I had gps working before with that rom.

MIUI ICS? x.x ICS theme or ICS rom? cuz AFAIK the only MIUI ICS here is zuk's abandoned MIUIv4 proj..
I have your issue as well after flashing to CK's Dark MIUI. but then I flashed edowar's libs-gps file and it's fine.. can be found somewhere in his CM7 thread I think.. now I get locks within 7-30s..

WiFi activation loop

Hello everyone,
I flashed CM 10.1.2 with build-date 2013 Jul 11 and I can't activate my WiFi anymore.
Bluetooth is ok, but I can't disable NFC - same as WiFi.
I push the button and it's "working" to activate wifi or deactivate nfc - but nothing happens. [edit: nfc working after reboot]
I've got not many ideas what I can do. Everything is working fine with the stock rom v.20a EUR_Open.
Has got someone an idea what I can try?
I did every step on it's own to have a look on which point the problem appears - after installing cm 10.1.2 with cwm recovery.
Bootloader is unlocked.
I'm looking forward to your suggestions and please accept my apologies for my bad english.
Kind Regards
FChaos

For nfc, just restart once, that will fix it

Hey,
im having the same issue with wifi.
When i try to activate the switch gets stuck in grey but it does not activate.
I have it since I installed CM 10.1.2 stable. Before everything worked just fine.
Any solutions for this problem?
Greetz

Wipe cache & dalvik cache
Fix permissions
Reboot
If that doesn't work then full wipe and reflash.
Note: WEP encryption will not work with CM v10.x so make sure you are using WPA on your wireless networks.

I already tried everything you mentioned, but nothing works for me.
WEP is not the problem, because I can't even get to the point to select my router. Also I'm using WPA2 at home.

I presume the CM build you refer to is a nightly? Try a different one or CM stable - nightlies are a beta software and may have random bugs.

The problem occurs since I installed the CM 10.1.2 stable.
After that I also tried some of the new CM 10.2 nightlies, but the problem still exists.
Any other ideas?
Edit:
When I install Android 4.1.2 Stock everything works just fine, but the moment I install CM wifi does not work anymore.

Stuck on "Searching for Service" in CM 10 RC1

I just updated to CM 10 RC1 over-the-air from CyanogenMod on my Sprint HTC One a few days ago (when it was released). I went to update to the newest nightly today, but cancelled the download midway because my WiFi speeds were way too slow and the download was draining my battery too fast. Now, my phone is stuck on "Searching for Service", and I can't figure out how to get it to get signal again, because I AM in an area with very good signal. Any ideas? I need my phone working ASAP!
I've tried rebooting, as well. No luck. Also tried restoring an older Nandroid - still no luck.

This worked perfectly! Thanks a bunch!

I am also having the same problem. After flashing the latest release candidate. I lost my service and my mobile network state says disconnected now. I've tried everything so far no luck. I've gone back into my original stock nandroid and nothing. No matter what I flash to, phone has no service.

Change the network mode once after reboot otherwise you get no service at all...T_T

You also need to change the CDMA subscription if you're using a simcard.

I have this same issue with the RC1 and have been changing the network mode to get service as well. After that the phone is fine. Does anyone know what causes this or if there's any way to resolve it or if that is purely on CM's end? When using the previous 10.1 nightlies (specifically 8/7/13) I don't have this problem, but when moving to this RC and the 10.2 nightlies (september 5) I still have the issue despite a full wipe (data, system...) before flashing each ROM. Don't have this issue with sense-based roms though.

thanks so much!!! :good: this worked for me. just a heads up though - I accidentally tried this with the cm10.2 nightlies first (despite the fact that this problem exists with those nightlies too) and it ended up causing an error (com.android something continuously popping up...) but this fixed the signal problem after restart with the 10.1.3 RC2 rom.
much appreciated!

[Q] Help with GPS N7000 with Android Kit Kat

My Galaxy Note was with ROM SlimSaber 4.4.2 and the gps was not working. Then I put Cyanogenmod 11 but the problem continues.
Someone who has any of these two Rom is facing this problem?
I thank for the help. :good::good:
Sorry for my english. I'm from Brazil.

CM 11: GPS working fine here.

I am using latest frantisheq cm11 built and gps working fine.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Strange, I've formatted the Note, put the rom Slimsaber and Cyanogenmod 10.2 and gps still not working. I am using GPS Test and Sygic for try to capture the satellites but nothing happens.
Would know tell me a way to check if the gps is actually connected, and if there is any way to fix this?
Thank you for the help of the two.

Try install a stock Samsung rom and check GPS.

I have the same problem for a while. I am using SllimSaber.
I have formatted and reflashed KK several times nothing changed.
Now i will try stock rom as suggested.

I have installed AryaV7 nothing has changed, no GPS signal at all
Any ideas?

Does your phone's GPS indicator blink? Maybe your phone's GPS is broken? Have you tried aps named "GPS Test", from google play?

Did you tried to use the app GPSData to download latest AGPS info?
Also you can try to modify gps.conf/gps.xml to choose different time/supl server, that is greatly helpful for fixing GPS.

Try reflashing rom (clean install) - In case there is nothing wrong with your GPS hardware everything should work just fine

I have modified gps config data with Faster Gps. Results did not change.
I have also used AndroiTS Gps test,Gps data, Gps status, Gps essentials none of them was able to catch a satellite.
I have clean install Slim Saber but the result is the same.
I am started thinking that it is not software related.

It could be a hardware issue....
Folks,
Like you I spent days editing gps.conf, installing apps, reflashing ROMS, all to no avail.
There seems to be no magic bullet and what works for one may not work for another, but I eventually stumbled across http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973727.
As you will see it requires opening the case and 'tweaking' two contact points. To my surprise it worked for me - although not perfectly. I get about 10 satellite fixes and 6, maybe 7 locks. ('GPS Test' is an excellent freebie to tell you what locks/fixes you are getting.) But a big step in the right direction. There are a few images in the thread that describe the issue/ remedy.
Top (well, average) tips:
1. If you haven't taken a case off before:
a. don't try it just before setting off to a dinner party. It is a bit of a pig and requires some grunt, swearing and patience - but it can be done! There are a few YouTube videos that help explain the process.
b. you will require a size 000 cross-head (Phillips) screwdriver. Go out and buy one if necessary (if you can find somewhere that sells them - I use the one from my spectacles repair kit which just happens to fit; not perfect but does the job - http://www.poundland.co.uk/spectacle-repair-kit. If you try with too big a head you risk stripping the screw heads and that is ......... well, not recommended.
2. Once you have completed the job test your N7000 (with GPS Test) before putting the 9 screws back in. Mine works better with no screws! You may find different.
As I say above this may work for you and may not, so the usual health warning, proceed if you wish.
You can find similar issues on Samsung smartphones, eg http://gs3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/s...-gps-problems-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-0145332/.
Good luck :laugh:

Thank you very much.
Works like charm!!! :good:
The problem was in antenna.

Did you solve the problem? I have the same trouble that have arisen after updating to kitkat.I tried everything to solve it, without success (clean installation, downgrading to stock rom, editing the gps.conf file, reinstalling google maps, modem changes, hardware check ect.).
I switched to Lollipop but problem remain unsolved.
Regards

I'm glad I found this thread; I too have tried all possible solutions that may have worked for others (edit gps.config, reflash stock ROM, go back to GB, tighten the screws, bend the antenna contacts and so on), and none have helped. At all.
Now, I read somewhere that what is most likely causing the problem (completely dead gps, gps status apk shows zero satellites) is a corrupted EFS partition. This is a partition that usually is not touched by factory resets, ROM changes and so on. It also contains information that you cannot afford to loose (imei and so on).
So, I managed to backup this partition using KTools. Now, the problem is how do I get a clean, EFS partition? Is there a way to reflash this partition from a hidden backup thru odin? Or some other way?
Any help would be vastly appreciated!
Regards.

[Q] HP touchpad wifi not turn on Cm11

Hi all,
I recently flashed the cm-11-20140913-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin on my HP TP first time after WEBOS and love to have android on my TP. Although it was working perfectly regarding all aspects, but two days back wifi stops working suddenly and it doesn't turn on. When i slide the bar of wifi from OFF - ON it didn't move and the screen says WIFI TURNING ON and remains. After that i completely wiped all the data and flashed another version of CM11, it did work for some minutes and again the same problem with wifi. I then tried (After Wipping again) the old CM10.1 version with supported files but again it doesn't on from the start. One thing i want to mention that when i change the CM11 version it stops working after couple of minutes and then i shut down and check in the morning it was again working and then again stop after rebooting. I also tried to control it from WIFI Apps i.e. wifi control, wifi manager when it works for some minutes but the apps also failed to TURN ON THE WIFI when it fails from the system.
I also try to search this topic but i didnt find any which worked for me.
Any help regarding this issue would be highly appreciated.
Regards

No any Response:S

First of all, how did you "flash" the ROM? Are you using tptoolbox?
Also, there are several newer versions of jcsullins ROM available to install.
What gapps did you use?
Please provide more information on your part so folks are able to help you.

I have this same issue, wifi works fine on lollipop, but not on cm11, i originally used tp toolbox to remove webos, resize partitions and flash lollipop. I tried going to cm11 for full functionality and wifi would not work, i tried 3 different cm11 based roms and none worked, i went back to lollipop and wifi worked right away.
