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:

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.

So my camera force close every time I try to use it..
So far I've tried different roms... like miui, cm7(used cm roms for a while), I've tried pure something roms, blandroid.. camera never worked.. tried one or two kernels too to no avail..
So I've reflashed everything to stock.. I mean STOCK lol.. still force closing..
anything else I might not know to try? Or I can assume it's an hardware issue?
I guess the reps at mobile store will throw a fit once they see the unlocked padlock lol if I ask for some help..
mmm.. i am having the same prob here....
i thought it is because of the ROM...mmm. i have changed to basically All the latest ROMs....failed to make the camera working.
MAYBE it is a hardware issue. My N1 fell from my bed. few times. Im not so sure it was before or after.
FOUND the solution to Camera Not working Nexus One.
You have to go back to Stock ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717870&highlight=frf91
1. Go back to Stock RoM
2. Then flash back to your FAV ROM - Mine is Miui AU..
not really the solution....
after 24 hours of working hard..
i failed!
Camera WORKING - when using stock ROM
Camera NOT working - when rooted and custom ROM.
What should i do ?
sadly I've already tried going back to stock.. did not work.. got some suggestions on another forum to try an clear the thumbnails and camera cache..
The Camera cache is stored under sdcard/android/data/com.cooliris.media...
Thumbnails are under sdcard/DCIM/thumbnails...
I had this issue within a month of upgrading to 2.2.3 on a stock Nexus One, and the fix for me was to re-format my SD card. I copied everything off to a PC, formatted and copied everything back and now the camera is working as intended. Hope this helps!

i tried already....not working...
i changed the Card, it works..!!
and it does nt again...
What radio you on? Try radio 5.0.8 if you're not already on it
Same problem here after flashing CM7 kernel on stock ROM. Did you fix it? Please help.
Did someone solve this problem? I have the same since yesterday (?!?) when i made the 2.3.4 update....
Maybe this problem is older in my n1, but i cant exactly say. I tried starting the camera app when sd-card is unmounted -> no effect, force close....
Actually... had a friend have the same issue. Though... it may or may not be the same as your issue. Brought it to an after service center near us and they cracked it open. They said there was a cable loose inside going to the board with the camera on it that was causing the issue. They put it back together and it has been working fine ever since. I am not exactly sure how a cable was loose inside where it shouldn't ever be moving... but it definitely fixed the problem. Hopefully you guys don't have the same problem.
Prior to going to the service center I backed up and flashed back to stock. Still had the same problem... though I seem to remember the message being odd when trying to use the camera. Was a while back so... >_< sorry.
Hm, i got this error in logcat:
V/CameraHolder( 1122): open camera 0
E/mm-camera( 75): main: MSM_CAM_IOCTL_REGISTER_PMEM ioctl failed for MSM_PMEM_AF type. ioctl return value is -1
E/mm-camera( 75): isp3a_init_ctrl failed

Does someone can give me hints?
Ok, i get interesting information within my tests:
camera is ok! works with CM7 and this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061648
But why not with my stock ROM?
I updated hboot/radio for a test -> No camera
Changed kernel (CM-Kernel, etc.) -> No camera
What else is the problem? I actually love my system and when i flash stock GRJ22 over it, camera works, but alle sd-apps are not avaiable and the memory ist nearly full.
Hi folks,
I can't post in the dev section so I'm hoping someone can answer here instead. Searched imilka's thread but couldn't find anything that helped me. Wipe & reflash has worked for others but not me.
Wifi doesn't work for me. It worked when I activated it in the setup wizard after flashing the rom but after the first reboot it doesn't present me with any networks and it doesn't connect to the one I configured. I know the wifi device works because the mac address is identified in the status menu.
Also, battery time isn't very good. Less than half remains after being fully charged then left alone over night.
I have tried a full wipe & re-flash and also flashed the last version released yesterday. Does anyone have any tips or do I just wait for a new version? Seems weird that it works for everyone else.

Indeed, I didn't come accross any of these problems... I don't know what to say mate, might have something to do from whatever ROM you came from, some kernel remnants...but again, that's just guessing...
What I'd do in a situation like this would be to revert to a stock GB, use jBroid's kernel cleaner, and then try to reflash Chainfire's repack and back to CM. That's just what I'd do...
I'd try to do a factory reset first. That way you'll get another chance to setup your WiFi from scratch and see what transpires. If it fails, it's back to basics, most probably. Rooted GB --> ICS Repack --> CM9.
It's such a hassle to reinstall everything again.
I'm downloading a stock rom now and I'm going to try flashing the modem partition. Perhaps the modem in the chainfire repack I flashed before is not 100% compatible with my phone... Otherwise I'll just have to stick to mobile data.
Flashing modem made no difference so it's something with the ROM. Luckily I have a good data plan so I'll just leave it and see what happens in the versions to come. If anyone has an idea, feel free to let me know.
And thanks for your answers guys.
Suddenly it all works. Thank you Google. You're swell!
Hi togehter,
I bought a Galaxy S3 Mini i8190N from an offer here in germany last month, the phone has a sim net lock. First of all I am experienced with flashing custom roms. But for my issue I never found any available topic.
I had no problem rooting the device and I can also install and run several custom roms, but for non stock roms I never see any satellites in view (GPS Test, GPS status & etc.) Everything else runs fine, WLAN, BT etc.
I tried to change the ntp pool settings to germany / europe, but this doesn't help (Faster fix, also manually system/etc/gps.conf).
In stock roms / custom stock roms GPS is working fine and I get a fast fix, I see a lot of satellites.
What I also tried:
Going back to orignal stock rom. Made a hard factory reset.
I tried flashing with Odin and also with TWRP v2.7.1.0 20140612, but this also does not fix the problem
Before installing non stock rom, I made a factory reset and deleted cache/system/davlik cache, but gps is never working. The symbol is appearing, if a app wants to access GPS and I also changed gps settings to high resolution.
Does anybody else have same problems?
Roms I tested Carbon, Omni, Slimrom, Cyanogenmod (MacLaw), I also tried Omnirom from goldenguy
I can provide more informations, if someone has an idea about it.

Update:
Hi together,
I again started to understand why GPS works fine in roms like R-Mod3 (Cutstom STOCK) and does not work for all kitkat roms >=4.4.2.
Enclosed you find the debug logs of google maps and gps test for omni-4.4.4-20140801-golden-HOMEMADE . In both apps I get errors in debugging. Can someone help me understand the problem here?
I guess it's a driver issue for android versions higher than stock rom.
Have you tried CM10.1?
Yesterday, my phone just decided it didn't want to be connected to a network anymore. I was running DynamicKat ROM. It just happened out of nowhere and continues today. I've tried flashing different ROMS and they install fine, but I still can't register to a network. I believe I need to update the modem, but I'm not sure. I'm currently on baseband version ANK4, but I think I need to update to BOC4. Does this sound correct? Any advice would be great, and if you might point me in the direction of any files needed it would be greatly appreciated as well. No need to link, but just a general section where I could find the files would be helpful as I seem to have little luck with the search function here. Thank you in advance.
EDIT: Ehhh... Nevermind. It just started working again. I can't explain it. Suddenly I was connected again.
Always a good idea to check your APN settings if you are in a known coverage area with a new ROM. Been my problem 90 percent of the time

Funny you mention this as I run the same ROM and have had this occur to me whilst traveling around my area and in and out of T-Mobile "Dead Spots" which seem to be many...
Even called T-Mobile to report and best they could tell me is go into "More Networks-Mobile Networks-Network operators" and select - Select automatically.
A real PITA when you driving down the road and need to call out or re-connect your call with someone.
Note: I've had numerous issues on different ROMS similar to this so I pretty much blame T-Mobile and their service in my area unless someone else can chime in, I would be curious...

I had a similar problem on DK, except that it was unmounting my sim card completely & I had to reboot to get it working again. Happened every hour or so, very frustrating. I tried a different rom & the issue went away, so it's definitely something funky with DK which makes me sad cause that's my favorite rom.
I just reflashed it last night though & I took the precaution of completely reflashing ANK4 through Odin and redoing root & TWRP too, then flashing DK like normal. So far, so good(and it seems to have fixed the battery life issues I was having as well, yay), so you might try that method & see if it helps for you too. But be sure to back up your internal storage first cause odin WILL wipe it. Learned this the hard way, bye-bye all my pictures & titanium backups :/
Files I used can be found here.. BOC4 is for LP, so you should be fine with ANK4.
Hei, some time ago when I was in the building for example, maps were showing me approx location, weather worked well with recognition of the place etc. Now, none of this work unless I have a good GPS signal from actual GPS receiver. So in the building it does not recognize the place I am nor weather is working due to lack of location.
Where is the problem? I am not rooted I have recently (well month ago) updated to newest OOS.
I have a high accuracy turned on, apps have permisions, tried to clear cache, reinstall the apps, change all the settings and change it back but still it didn't solve the issue.
Anyone has the same? How to fix that?
Hi i had the same problem as you.
This was posted on Oneplus forum and i installed the OP3T rom from the link. Works great now.
"This fix was provided by OnePlus team:
Hi sir/madam, sorry for all the waiting, for this GPS issue, we created a repairing patch which can fix this issue completely, if you are willing to install this patch(only for the build number O2 Stable 180914 for 3, 180915 for 3T), please download it from our Google Drive, links are here below, please choose the right model of your phone to download.

If you installed this repairing patch, please keep noted if the bugs get resolved or not, we will take care of it. Thanks for your cooperation and great days to you.
This patch solved location detection issue in my OP3T"
Is this legit? Why some random guy is posting it there instead of someone from OP team and why on google disk?
EDIT: ok one plus confirmed it is their link.
When you flash it do you loose TWRP or some data etc? Or just flash it through TWRP like dirty flash?
I just dirty flashed it. You will loose TWRP and go back to stock recovery. No other data is lost.
OK works better now thanks
Nice did a whole lot difference.
yeah, now waiting for Pie
