Sup People.
I recently noticed that my GPS wasnt working on CM 7.1.0.1. After searching this forum I found that quite a few people were also having the same issues so i've decided to compile this guide (all credits to OP's, i'm just putting this info in one place)...
theres not much to it to be honest, its just the information on the issue is just scattered around - plus there are probably better and more complete guides out there

First install cm7 and then make a nandroid backup of it. Then wipe everything and restore the previous nandroid backup of stock froyo rom (or any rom with working gps) and use gps to capture your location. Then again wipe everything and restore the cm7 backup. Now gps will be working. And once gps on cm7 works, then even after a hard reset it still works. This seems to be an issue only when freshly installing cm7. This is definitely a safe method.

The next procedures are really for advanced users only...or if you know what you are doing if you dont understand anything in this next part I would do a little reading on the topic first

1. To get Clockworkmod 2.x when you have a newer version, flash the 'update1.zip' in the attachments
2. If you have ROM Manager, use the 'select older cwm' at the bottom of the list to select 2.5.0.7

Download radio zip above [19.25 or 20.10 as you probably have 15.31]
Put Radio .zip on root of SD card i.e not in any folders
Start ROM Manager
(ensure you have CWM 2.x.x.x)
Click Reboot into Recovery
Flash .zip from here by going to install zip from SD card
Don't forget to wipe caches first
Reboot phone by using the "reboot" option in cwm NOT by removing the battery

The process will take about 10 mins so be patient
Make sure you have sufficient battery charge and do not interrupt the flashing process.
I used the 3xeno and nejc121 method's above. Downgraded my CWM (which is only temporary if selecting through ROM manager) then flashed the 20.10 radio. 3xeno recomends flashing the 19.25 radio first to see if that works but i went straight for the 20.10 = WORKING GPS
!!!DISCLAIMER!!!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE. IT IS YOUR DECISION TO GO AHEAD WITH THESE MODS SO ONLY YOU CAN BE BLAMED FOR YOUR ACTIONS
p.s. if followed correctly, you shouldn't go wrong
In simple terms.
1.gain temp 2.5.0.7 cwm via Rom manager or temp update zip if your on a newer version already.
2. Flash 19.25 or/and 20.10 radio.
3. Reboot.
I have NEVER wiped anything to flash a radio as it has no influence over caches whatsoever.!!!!
Whenever I had gps issues I just flashed the 19.25 radio then test gps. Then re flash 20.10 radio. Never failed me yet. Lol.

Try using an app that triggers gps like gps test from the market. It worked 99% of the cases for me.

My phone has been having a lot of deep sleep issues. From betterbatterystats it says kernel wakelock is caused by "suspend_backoff" sometimes "multidpd" and also "PowerManagerService". I have tried diffrent kernels but no difference so it might be a rogue app causing it. Please How can i fix this?
Any help please

Try to take your battery for one minute then put it back again. But you can try clean install before flashing ics.

Clean install, flash gb rom in pc odin, while in gb rom perform 3 wipes then take out your battery for a while and put it back again and go directly to download mode and flash ics rom in pc odin. Must be perform in pc odin only.

hmm... by any chance do you have Google Chrome app installed on your phone?
That "suspend_backoff" kernel wakelock you got there is cause by Google Chrome app itself.
Simply uninstalling Chrome would fix that issue you have..
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

I bought my friends phone in an attempt to fix it but it kind of worked, the problem it first had was that it didnt load after boot screen so i installed a rom from live samsung updates, it worked but then the phone over heats and im guessing thats the cause of the battery drain i tried install different 4.1.2 pda versions like I9070XXLQL, I9070DXAMD1 and I9070XXLQE but they all still over heat my phone, current i have the ITV version installed which is I9070XXLQL.
the battery temperature is 46 degrees according to the phone tester app
i have Watchdog lite, battery doctor,task killer and clean master app installed to keep the ram low
Is it cause my phone can't handle 4.1.2 JB version, should i install a 2.3 GB rom?

No it´s not a problem with your stock rom ( JB or Gingerbread)
Either the device is corrupt or you should try to flash another stock rom again.
by some stock roms the device over heats for me too.
Try another one...I´m using xxlpe

Root, istall CoCore E kernel, use PegasusQ governor, SIO scheduler. You can find all that in I9070 Original Development thread.

Governor change the way CPU is scaling. When it uses what frequency. And that kernel is way better optimized than stock one.
P.S. How long does that heating lasts? I remember it was couple of hours when I was on stock, maybe during media scan (on first boot).

the heat last till battery is dead, it doesnt cool down
I have rooted it, download kernel and installed universal kernel flasher but when i click on select a kernel image, it says "Unable to find application to perform this action, i have extracted the kernel.bin.md5 file from zips and placed it into extsdcard and also moved it to sdcard but both still come up with the same thing
Nvm found out i also needed to download file manager
The phone is still overheating after installing kernel, i installed kernel by using recovery mode and installed zip from there, cause doing it the DD way was too complicated since i didnt know how to get into superuser mode and type in [dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15]

Yes. And when you tap on screen time, how much hours do you get?
Average for me is that battery drains in about 12-15 (it can get more if I use it less) hours with 2-3 hours of onscreen on JB with autosync and wifi or 3g on.
Hey, after one day of utilisation of my battery,
she is dead, 0%.7
It's really problematico, because any mounth ago, afte roneday of utilisation, my battery is at 50%.

What is the better rom for battery?

CM10.1 or stock.
I've got the (NFC vesion i9070P).
My reason for you is to search for another stock rom or flash (Harshjelly for stock) .A custom rom like 10.1 which shutdown said or the new kitkat 4.4.2 by maclaw.If you want more information about it ask.
The battery drain is either a corrupt by your devive or a wrong (stock/custom rom) whatever....

Dears, thank you all for your efforts in making this website the best ever.
I just bought a new Note 5 (N920C) couple of weeks ago, and suddenly it went crazy!!
All apps began to crash and the phone reboots million times.
I tried all means of wiping, recovery, i even reinstalled the stock firmware, changed kernels, still the same problem, (latest kernel is SpaceX-Kernel-v0.1_N920C(official) still no use.
Now the thing is my knox counter is up by 1, and the warranty is void. :crying: any way i can reset it to send it back to samsung, or if there anyways to fix it it would be better as they will take two weeks min to repair it.

can you enter download mode??? (down+mid button+power)
if so i can recommend a couple of issues;
1) enter download mode and by using odin download the factory rom from sammobile.com... Select your country (turkey?) and find the appropriate rom there
2) flash the phone
3) with the same mode connect to pc and by using smart switch try to update the firmware (There is an update if i am not mistaken)
4) see what happens
good luck

knox is a software and hardware based fuse if it gets tripped there is no going back.. Even the great developer chainfire (mastermind behind flashfire, cf auto root and supersu) confirmed that knox counter cannot be reverted back..
I upgraded to OJD yesterday, same issue, almost all apps have sopped working, I fixed this with re-install kernel and wipe cache in recovery, not sure which one is the correct solution, just try this, thanks.
