Damn Samsung! ! !
Exactly 24 hours after I flashed the latest modem and rom, the infamous gps bug is back in full force. Don't see any satellites, no lock, no nothing. I knew that this was too good to be true...

I never had a GPS bug until just recently. It worked great from factory, it worked great after I flashed the first froyo leak from firon (w/o a modem update). As part of updating to the latest froyo leaks, I flashed the modem using the guide to flash using odin/PDA setting with a pit and a tar. Now my GPS is hosed entirely
Others suggested flashing the modem.bin instead of PIT/TAR combo using the phone slot in odin. I did that, which just got me a "Baseband Unknown" and no connectivity. Flashed back to DK17 via PIT/TAR and I'm back up and running, but without GPS still.
I'd be interested if anyone has any thoughts on whether they think flashing the .bin should actually help or not; and further, why I get baseband unknown when I do flash the bin.
Thanks
Gps worked much better than under Di18, so looks like they fixed this problem, but for me, the damn cache bug still remains.

I have sign familiar issues on mine.there was a thread that many slammed as bs but it worked for me when I tried the first froyo tom and had the same issue. Odin back to stock and get a lock. I did in gps status and google maps. Then up to froyo. I just put viper rom on mine and am having the same issues and will be doing this soon.
Hope it helps

Anyone ever have this problem? Ideas to fix it?
What rom are you running? If its a i9k 2.2.1 build you need the signal reboot fix found in the vibrant development section.

I think the problem exists for KB1 based builds as well. Had the issue with Bionix 1.31, Trigger and Axura. Went back to Nero v5 and problem solved. Also, the wifi sleeps even when the option for never sleep is checked. I wonder if it's hardware specific and only affects some phones.
Sent from my frozen yogurt powered Vibrant
To clarify my previous post: I lost 3g and had to manually reboot to get it back. It didn't reboot on its own like the i9000 builds. I ran 3 different roms from 3 different devs and they all had similar issues. The only common denominator was they were KB1 based. KB1 roms also seem to have RIL issues (very infrequent). At least that was my experience.

Data dropping happened to me a lot in the JK2 modem (had toggle flight mode on and off), but it has never happened to me since (JK6 and onwards)
Are you guys on t mobile? You might want to upgrade your sim card, i just upgraded yesterday and now my connection is more stable.

If data is just dropping and not soft booting, try flashing a new modem.

I dont have this problem but do all the ROMS now say "H" instead of 3G? The weird things is, I still 3g pop back up there intermitently for a second or two here and there...from what I gather, H is the same thing, but if that's so, then why do I still see 3g pop back up there sometimes?
I'm on KB1 and I hate this ****.

I had this problem on Trigger 2.7.1/overstock couldn't reestablish data through airplane or toggling data type. In since flashing 2.7.2 havent had it at all. Fingers crossed. No reboots either. Same kb1 modem.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
Im going through something similar right now. Running Axura 2.3.1.0 with KB1 modem currently, was on CM7 with KA7 prior and had same issue. I have 0 3G, doing a speed test on 2G i get between 68 and 85kbps download speed, and when on 3G i get between 46 and 60kbps, so actually my 3G is basically dead. Went and got a 3G sim card from t-mobile, called them about 26 times and had them reset my network, filed a trouble ticket and still no dice... not sure whats going on. I was throttled and my cycle restarted on the 21st, its now the 24th and still seems like im throttled but im not, its actually a dead 3G, not sure why... anyone know what i can do to fix this? Is it a bad phone now? T-Mobile doesnt seem to have a clue, nor will they help me out... dunno, tried everything and now im just stuck with no speed... blows!!!

So I don't know if I am the only one, or if there is something wrong with what I did but after relocking my xoom, rooting using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078019 . Then flashing the Newest Titamat kernel through CWM, I have a non-functional GPS. Even outside on a clear day my xoom only sees 3 sats max, not using a single one. PLEASE HELP!! My GPS used to lock in seconds inside to 11 sats.
So I think I just need to push the correct GPS module. Anyone got it?
Really??? No one is willing to help???

I have had no such problems.
Try reflashing it again, because my gps works fine, just takes a bit longer to load, or what exactly is happening to it?
SENT VIA HAMSTERBALL
Mine works better than it did before Froyo
Reflashing the radio fixed my GPS issue. Thanks guys.
My GPS has stopped working again. It worked the first day after reflashing the Froyo radio but now, days later, is unable to lock on again. Ideas?

My GPS won't lock on either, I'm using pastorbennet's custom Froyo, didn't flash anything from the imnuts thread since I didn't know what to do with the modem file
Mine works though it seems slower to lock, but that's probably an issue of small sample size

GPS not locking after flashing EC07 either. God I hate this phone.

GPS on Froyo is so spotty that I might go back to DL17. GPS is that important to me.

It'll not help to flash another rom or modem! I had the same problem, tried almost every modem/rom but couldn't solve it. I think one out of 100000 i9000's has signal problems.
I don't recommend to do this;
I used to solve it by plugging in an isolated copper wire into the coaxial input on the back of the device. Here's a link to the thread I started with two videos.

Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
First of all you should determine what might have caused the error.
Signal problems can be caused by hardware, software or network provider:
- If the problem occurred after a software update (which is usually change the modem driver) You should flash back the old modem
- If you didn't update or change firmware or the modem it can be a hardware issue (dropped phone, water damage etc.) If you don't experience hw you wouldn't disassemble.Give it to someone who has experience in this topic.
- Sometimes signal problem can be cause by the network provider (network error or upgrade) It is usually temporary problem you have to wait and get good signal few hours/days later.
I hope I helped in the first step to get to the final solution.
Ok so I have a problem I am pure stock never rooted my S4 and after I took the MF9 update my phone will get stuck in a bootloop untill I turn on wifi or airplane mode as soon as I connect to data it will happen again reboot I flashed the MDL modem and firmware through odin and it stops it will let me be on data with no problems but as soon as I go back to MF9 same problems happen.

If your network was unstable you wouldnt be able to get any signal at all but it wouldnt make your phone reboot. Have you tried factory reseting your phone??

Dude you ain't the only one. The MF9 update has been a major pain the @$$ for a lottt of people. I wonder if Sprint is working on a new update. Hopefully push it out before the end of September. Although I am really liking MF9, I am probably in the minority. My device is smooth as hell and great battery life. Just yesterday I went 20hrs with 3hrs of on screen time!
Im having a similar problem. Random reboots when data is connected. I first thought it was the connection in my area that was causing the problem to (NV just started in Cleveland) until I encountered reboots while on WiFi. It doesn't matter what app I'm using as long is it uses the internet connection my phone may freeze vibrate two to three times then reboot. I even reapplied the MF9 update and the same problem exist.
I'm completely stock!
Thank You Based God!
