I had my gps stop working again and I got it to work again by doing this. See if it works for you.
First get CM6.1.1 and it's gapps
wipe data
format system
install cm 6.1.1
install it's gapps
boot into cm6
use google maps and get a lock
next get a cm7 nightly and it's gapps
wipe data
format system
install cm7
install its gapps
boot into cm7
use google maps and get a lock
report back to me thanks
i thought about trying that, then i decided to just go to seettings>applications>manage applications> maps and force stop and clear data, and it just worked. =]
jznomoney,
do you know if gps is being worked on to fix this problem? i appreciate the workaround, but its not too ideal if its still needed in the final release.
its still being looked into. google changes the way it handles gps calls in 2.3. So someone wrote a wrapper to translate the calls. It's not perfect since the gps library itself is closed source.
Closed meaning by google or by htc?
Thanks! Worked perfectly!

But even to a nandroid backup of cm7 this fix is useful - it was for mine. How can this be possible?
And, interesting that is CS. Then it's not about cyanogenmod not working with CS but rather with illegal sources, in the case of the HTC's FM drivers...? uhm...

i only got mine working after i flash my radio to 7.08.35.21... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706435
but it took a while to have the GPS lock. and its to a point of 20m radius.
UPDATE: the 20m radius was made by half of the sky. I was on my office window. I tested in my car while driving. I get 8m radius.

I did the first portion, flashed cm6 and gaps. Then got a quick lock without wifi on using maps then navigator. Then wiped data, and factory reset. Then restored a nandroid backup that I made before I started this process. Turned on GPS, no wifi and bam!!!!!!!!!!!!! Locked. Maps then navigator. It didn't so this before. Oh and I'm useing nighty 42 HTC aria. Thanks a bunch!!!!!! It's a long process but worked

This seems to fix it for me!
Restored a nandroid of Sense, turned GPS on, made sure the flashing icon was there when using maps.
Then just restored the RC1 nandroid and there it is.
Maybe it was because I had GPS turned off (with the HTC widget) before?

If you're having problems with your GPS continually dropping out, particularly on the new Gingerbread release, try downloading GPS Status from the App Market and reset your AGPS data.
In GPS Status,
hit [Menu],
then [Tools],
[Manage A-GPS state],
[Reset],
Optionally you can [Download] for new A-GPS data
I tried it on CM7 nightly 36 and apparently I'm getting quicker locks.
[Update 01]
Apparently, that first method works for some, but not all. There is a second method, but it requires you to be on a Sense Rom (Stock HTC based). I'll add it here. More people say that this works better, but I was reluctant since I was already on an AOSP Rom (CM7), so I would have to flash back to a Sense Rom.
You will need your MSL code for your phone
Using a Sense Rom,
go into the Phone Dialer,
and Dial ##GPSCLRX# (##4772579#)
(Reboot)
Here is the original post by SantinoInc: GPS Fix (GPS Reset)
Were you driving? That has been stated numerous times to only work while not moving. Or to only work for a short period. I did the ##GPSCLRX# fix and have not had to worry since. Getting down to 6m accurate whole driving.

Please forgive my ignorance, but how do you type letters on the dialer? I tried using the number key with those letters (works out to ##4772579#) which didn't work. So I feel appropriately humbled. How does one run that code, please?
GPS Status works fine, but I only use it for this; so, if I can not have another app on my phone that would be great.
Thank you for your time.

I was also having GPS problems with the CM7 ROMs. I restored a Sense ROM and ran the fix using the dialer, then restored my CM7 ROM and my GPS worked perfectly. However, I just flashed to the lated MIUI ROM and now my GPS is taking a long time to lock. Had maps open for 10min on my drive into work before it locked on. It did eventaully lock but it doesn't seem to work as well as it use to. Wondering if this is a MIUI thing??
Im in Japan on a seasonal stanby for three months
so i dont have service, just paying 9$ a month
Im trying the ##GPSCLRX# on a sense rom so i can switch over to a 2.3.3 rom
I put in my MSL and did the reboot
i opened maps and have been waiting for around 30 mins for a lock
and NOOO success
It just will not lock!
Is it because im on Seasonal standby?? and not using phone service
My GPS is on and im using wireless networks turned on
its still moving around not locking
ahhhh!!!
My gps would not lock and the icon would just disappear after a few minutes. I was able to get it to lock using the steps for 'GPS Status' app, but I had to do it again the next day. But after closing out of all the apps, the gps icon was still there and would not go away.
There was no need to start another thread on the GPS fix; it's been posted for quite awhile now.

No, even from Japan with no service you should be able to get a lock. In fact you should be able to get a lock from anywhere with NO data at all, but you do need a data connection to download the map data and see a map overlay of where you are (obviously), and also you need data in order to download the GPS "cheat sheet" A-GPS data. But it sounds like you have other problems, perhaps your ##GPSCLRX# code didn't take. Did you reboot all the way through? try it three times in a row and make sure that you do NOT use any app that can access the GPS device after the last reset before flashing an AOSP rom. That includes the market, the web browser, maps, latitude, navigation, etc. After the second time you reset it, try shutting it off entirely in the control panels.
GPS fixed on CM7
Hello,
I tried everything said in forums about gps fix but I had no gps on CM7 nightly and had no problems in sense roms. I do not remember where I found someone recommending a kernel for gps fix and another people said ##GPSCLRX# solution should be apply 3 times in a row to be effective, so I tried both, I have gps working perfect on CM7 but I cannot say which method was the solution.
This is what I did:
- Made a backup, of course.
- In Ginger-AleV2 (sense rom) I dialed ##GPSCLRX#, then enter my MSL, reboot automatically. Returning from boot I repeated this step other 2 times.
- Go to recovery (I have Amon-RA 2.3) and restored my CM7 nightly #86, then I flashed #87 (in same session, just wipe cache & dalvik before), then flashed GoDm0de-v8 kernel (in same session too).
- Reboot and checked GPS, working perfect since more than 8 hours.

after you do the gpsclrx command and it reboots you NEED to open the google maps or similar software, let it lock and track for a few minutes, then reboot and nandroid back to cm7
Just for giggles, leave your GPS on when you flash CM7. That was what finally worked for me.

Hello there!
I'm getting reports about "GPS Aids" not working with Vibrants. Some users with Galaxy S phones and GPS drivers from Vibrant got the same problem.
The app it's on the market. So the first test will be install it and tell me if it is working or not.
Regards...
Original post at > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955395
Went onto market, searched for and downloaded the app.
It wouldn't download the GPS aids... it kept saying "connection detected" then it was unable to downlaod the data.
When I enabled the root option (brute force) it finally worked.
Testing GPS now, will update/edit with results.
Maybe you should try the Themes and apps section, not trying to be a mod Just saying it might help get you more testers.
Okey.. I have a user in the spanish forum with a Vibrant. And the native mode it's working fine for him. Will ask for ROM version. Thankyou Bignjuicyjc
@Bignjuicyjc are you using a different GPS driver from stock? Like the captivate driver?
Hello I tested it out the other day. currently am on trigger v2.1 (froyo). Installed it, popped it on with default settings and tried out gps test app. Normally I eventually see 11 sats in my area Minneapolis,MN USA. With aids I saw 3 and never locked on.
So went into the setting of gps aids and deleted gps data and forced it this time around. Same deal: takes 3x as long to find any satalites, finds 1/4 the amount of sats and never locks on. In google maps/navigation my locations was off by almost 2 miles. Rebooted and deleted gps data and tried gps test again. Same results.
Had to delete data, uninstall the app and restart my phone before I could lock onto anything again. Some people in the vibrant community say this has helped them alot. And then theres people like me where it made it worse. Hope that helps.

Install/Uninstall don't change nothing. I think that it is something related to the GPS driver using in ROM. Do you know if your ROM is using a captivate driver? Or other different from stock?

I too am using Trigger... but V2.5 which if I'm not mistaken uses Masters GPS fix.
But then again, I also used Samsung GPS restore app from the market AFTER i had flashed Trigger.
It seems since using Gps Aids the GPS is "seeing" more birds but not locking on to any.
Will continue to test.
does this work on Samsung Galaxy 3 GT-I5800?
Does this GPS Aids works for my Samsung Galaxy 3 GT-I5800 mobile phone?
This phone is Android 2.1.
This phone's GPS currently does not function well. It is very slow and take forever to get any GPS reading, is any.
If I to apply your GPS Aids to my phone and it is not the correct patch for this phone, is there anyway I can go back to the original firmware?
Thank you.
I loaded it last week on my Vibrant, it works.......... No Big Great difference since I have Masters GPS fix previously installed, but it does work and the locks are about 10 sec faster
Tried it and installed and downloaded properly on first try. Didn't see much difference at first, but when I went to visit friends in the middle of nowhere, I got locks when my gf's captivate couldn't. It didn't show up in the market for her captivate, but I sent the apk by email, installed it and it also got the gps to lock in. So here's two votes for it working.

Flash it thru Clockwork Recovery
I've had mixed results. It works for some customer roms and not others. It is confirmed working on Bionix and Auxura, but I didn't have good results with Trigger for some reason. Thanks for the app. I'm locking on 6/13 satellites indoors and 11/13 outdoors.
Feedback: Last week. I installed GPS Aids on my Vibrant and it downloaded the file and appeared to work quite well. But, 2 days ago, I developed a problem with something not related, and had to do a factory reset. Since the reset, I can not download the file. I keep getting a messaging saying it can't download Xtra and to try again later.

What do you mean?
Ever since I flashed to Overcome 1.2.1 the GPS has been VERY wonky and just plain WRONG. Maps says that I am in the next TOWN which is a good ways away.
GPS Locks are extremely few as well and takes forever to lock on to.
Can anyone else confirm this and or help?
Bumping this up.
When you flashed, did you wipe your cache? With a new rom it always takes a while to reaquire your location. I use the app HereIAm2 from the market to get that first position lock after a rom flash.
Yes I did wipe the caches. Will try that app out if it is free.
Thanks.
EDIT: Noticed that the compass seems to be very inaccurate as well. Weird.

Oh well, that's the least of my probs;-/
i have installed OC 1.2.1 and at one point the whole tab became very sluggish....and all sort of issues appeared such as slow browsing.......then the tab would simply freeze! Reboot did not help at all....
I have since installed OC 1.2.3 with the new kernel and it went ok-ish. But today after rebooting i have all sort of errors (broken messaging service, when i click on the wifi tab to switch on, it says 'error'.etc).
I wonder if others have this sort of probs. I cannot understand how it can work fine for a few hours and then.....kkkkkkkk.
I have the UK tab version with firmware JK5; Also cannot figure it out why it does not show 'overcome v1.2.3 on the build number...it still shows v1.2.1, kernel overcome 97.
I'll have to reflash the lot now.......how annoying.
I am sorry that you are having problems. However hijacking threads is frowned upon here.....

The app is free.
How many roms have you flashed? Maybe it's time to do a factory reset, then flash the full version of the rom/kernal.
Well it did the trick and put me in the correct spot but the compass is still completely wonky.
Oh and this is the first ROM I have flashed. Overcome 1.2.1.
There are apps in the market for that. You want to calibrate the compass, so look for a gps utility. Sorry I don't have one to recommend to you.
Not a problem. I appreciate your advice and welcome any others as well.
One thought about the compass - do you have your tab in a case with a magnetic clip?
Mine works fine out of the leather case, but not when it is in the case.
Just a thought.
No I don't.
To test the GPS to see if there was any interference I put my iPhone 4 into compass mode in maps and did the same with the Tab using the Maps program.
The iPhone 4 was spot on....however the Tab was wrong yet again.
So that means there is no interference.
I am stumped here....and the recalibrate apps did not work either.
Just thought I would try a catch-up.
Since my last comment I moved from Rotos JMIv2 to Overcome 1.2.3 and my GPS also stopped. After 24 hours however, I have got it going through a the use of GPS Status (free from the market) and the LbsTestMode which you can access either through a dialler code or through SGS Toolbox, also free from the market.
To cut the story short, I went from just finding about 3 satelites (with no connectoins), to finding and connecting 10 satelites.
I must say that I am very happy with the current ROM and with the GPS Status program.
Hope this helps if you are still having problems.
I believe that if you dont have wifi or 3g on the tab GPS will not work..

Yes - I've always had the wifi going, but found that unless I had a phone (modem flash) and inserted a sim card, I could never get GPS to do anything.
The gps is still very broken.
I did the ##gpscrlx# trick, but that didn't help - when I turn on gps and try to use maps, the notification icon for gps doesn't even appear.
Any other ideas for fixing this? Or is it going to be fixed only in the final?
Also, gmail is also still broken.
When doing ##GPSCLRX# did you load Google Maps and let it get a GPS lock while still in the Sense ROM? It always works for me when I get the GPS to attain a new lock before restoring nandroids.
Also, if I remember correctly, the GPS icon won't show up until it's being used. You can have it turned on all day and never see it in the notification bar until it's being used. I know this is the case with MIUI, and I'm almost 100% sure that it was the same way when I was still running CM7

That sucks for you mine only appears when its being used. Here's a suggestion, delete your cm nandroid, start completely fresh(wipe everything) with cm7 make a new nandroid, go into sense(get a lock) do the fix again leave gps ON, then nandroid back to cm7. Sounds like alot but what else can you do. I had to do the same, I guess my nightlies kept piling up and somehow knocked my sense GPS fix out.

You do NOT need to bump your post once, let alone twice. Read the main thread for CM7, there are TONS of people who have it working. If yours isnt working, do a full wipe and flash again.

Yes, I said that in post #4.
Had been running 7.02 and then updated to 7.03 the other day. I had an occasion to use the GPS yesterday, and it refuses to get a gps lock. GPS Status show 11 sats, yet it never locks. I did the old CM7 > CM6 > CM7 trick and it will lock once, and only once. (this was after turning GPS off and then back on)
Any clues?

You definitely dont need to do the cm6 fix, that was only for if your gps wouldnt turn on at all. It didnt have anything to do with it getting a lock or not.
Using gps status: Menu>Tools>Manage A-GPS state>Reset.
Menu>Tools>Manage A-GPS state>Download.
Also, do you have your Data connection turned on? Or wifi? If you try to get a lock without one of those turned on it can take quite a while. And try to get your lock outdoors and without moving until you get your initial lock.
If that doesnt do it for you I would first suggest re-flashing a fresh download of 7.0.3.
And finally, which radio are you running? The originaly 2.1 or the updated 2.2 radio?

Thanks for the response:
I have tried the A-GPS reset and data, without any help.
This fails with either WiFi on or off and out and about ( in car)
GPS was working on my phone with 7.02, but in between the last time I used it, I had installed Tasker and updated the radio (I was getting lots of dropped calls on my morning route) and upgraded to 7.0.3. Restoring my Nandroid 7.0.2 does not resolve the issue, so I do not believe that it is a 7.0.3 thing. I guess I can back the radio update out and see if that was it, not sure if that made any reception difference anyway.
Thanks,

GPS was working on my phone with 7.02, but in between the last time I used it, I had installed Tasker and updated the radio (I was getting lots of dropped calls on my morning route) and upgraded to 7.0.3. Restoring my Nandroid 7.0.2 does not resolve the issue, so I do not believe that it is a 7.0.3 thing. I guess I can back the radio update out and see if that was it, not sure if that made any reception difference anyway.
Thanks,
T

yea try reverting the radio image and let us know if that fixes your issue. Ive seen other posts from people having issues with the newer radio image. Ive not personally had any issues but every piece of hardware is different.
How do you revert back radio images? I have this problem too sometimes. I just exit GPS Test and start it up again and it finally finds my position after I was already connected to satellites.

This is a typical Q&A thread, which is in the wrong forum. I'll move this to General.
I'm also having GPS issues but mine when I'm using it if I make a turn the arrow will stay facing the same direction (if I'm facing north and turn east it still faces north) but if I'm at a stop light sometimes it fixes itself I'm using cm7 rc4 I had to the original cm6 back to cm7 GPS fix. It work for along time flawlessly nvr had any issue till now. I haven't updated the radio either

The newer cm7 releases fixed the navigation orientation problem. Try the latest stable release, 7.0.3.
