Hi all,
so yesterday I flashed CM7 on my Legend after having Modaco's Customized ROM installed. However, I have the same issue as some users with GPS. I've tried flashing all different Radio versions available, but I just can't get a GPS fix (neither with Maps nor with GPS Status).
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks!
My Gps only works when i use this radio version 7.08.35.21 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706435
i'm CM7 nightly built 42 to...
hello,
I had problems myself with the cm7 stable. gps was not working. But then wipe data, cache and cache dalvik, re-flash cm7, install radio 7.08, gapps... then boot... made the apps restore reboot again. then turn on gps status and in 20secs had a fix with 7 satelites.
this is my contribution to the comunity.
Edit: I Just wanna say that is working but not 100%. So i believe, that should have some bug fix in the next days. because not every legend respond well with the two radio that people says to install.
i have nfinity 0.81 on my tattoo...i never cared if i would have gps or not.
but i come know to a conclusion that i will need it
which rom should i flash and enable gps and than flash back?
which would you recommend..i tried with
fyodor FroYo AOSP Tattoo v0.7.2c
but it didnt worked.
thanks for any help
here's what i did to re-enable GPS:
install the stock rom
root your phone, install clockworkmod
be sure to have GPS enabled before you flash the nfinity rom
Easier way:
Enable GPS.
Flash ROM you want from Recovery.
heh that s nice, didn t know you could do that
Me too. But I try it because I was too lazy to flash stock ROM(and wipe all data) and unfortunately it helps and GPS is working now for me

i enable gps with my actual rom nfinity0.82
flashed spqrom0.7 but nothing changed...still hasent gps activated.
what am i doing wrong?
I don't know but these steps work for me.
Just:
Enable GPS
With enabled GPS boot into recovery
flash some ROM
If it is not OK for you. You can still try to flash stock ROM and then use these step again.
I have an even worse problem. I had nFinity 0.81 with the GPS working (and phone was stable, I'm sometimes running openBmap to scan for wifis and cellular towers and it never crashed). So i flashed the 0.82 (with GPS on) and know the GPS behaves really strangely. If I use GPS Status & Toolbox with the new 0.82 it takes really long to lock to any satellites and when it eventually does lock on, it drops the lock a few times, and if I quit the app and then start it again it starts first finding out the satellites and after a while it locks (0.81 behavior would be to lock on immediately). And now openBmap crashes the phone (reboot). I tried wiping and installing 0.82 from scratch but still it crashes and wan't lock on. I tried restoring 1.6 and then wiping and flashing the 0.82 still nothing. Fortunately I have 0.81 nandroid backup, so I reverted back to 0.81 and there GPS works with the openBmap not crashing the phone.

it is really bad gps in click, but 4 a while, it htc tytn2 gps starts slower in times then in tattoo (flashed by CM7).. try to check your gps by gps test from Amarket
i can confirm that kalim's release 7005 have GPS issue.

Yes, it has some issues, but i believe if you have gps turned on at all times it works fine. Only if you turn it on/off, you have to reboot in order to work again. And Kalim also said, that u can have gps turned on and it won't drain any battery, if none apps need gps. So i have gps always on, and it's working
I uber-jacked up my GPS. When I went to cm7 RC4 I lost the ability to get a gps lock. I've tried installing cm6.1, and the "liberated froyo" ROM. Neither return the gps functionality. It just never gets a lock.
Is there any hope for restoring a working gps? If so, what do I do?

Try the following:
1. Download cm7 & applicable gapps.
2. Wipe data, cache & dalvik AND format /system
3. Install cm7 & applicable gapps.
4. Boot into cm7.
4a. Test gps, download gps test from market and run it.
If gps still doesn't work:
5. Download cm6.
6. Reboot to clockwork.
7. Nandroid backup.
8. Wipe everything, flash cm6.
9. Boot into cm6.
9a. Test gps, download gps test from market and run it.
10. Reboot into clockwork.
11. Restore the nandroid you made in step 7 without wiping anything.
12. Boot into cm7 and test gps.
I tried the steps for cm7... gps got no sattelites... FYI when I did wipe Dalvik I noticed that nothing really happened. Is that normal? Everything else shows up as steps on the screen, but wiping Dalvik just immediatly went back to the menu.
i've still got clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 - is that the problem?

Thats normal.
wiping dalvik behavior is what you mean is normal I guess...
Which "gps test" are you speaking of. I tried two and neither gave me any signal... This is looking bad.
when I installed RC-4 and had issues, I tried following what is on post 535 here on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=956223&page=54
is that what caused the meltdown?

You can't just do the CM7 part, you must follow the steps for going back to CM6.
I understand. Somehow I miscommunicated. I followed steps 1-12 that you gave me, what I'm saying is that after step 4a I had no gps signal showing in the test program. then after step 9a, I still had no gps signal showing on the test.
I hope that was more specific.
BTW thanks for helping
So just to be clear, are you just not able to get a gps signal lock? Or is your gps radio not working at all? When you start up gps test or maps/navigation, is the gps icon showing up in the notification bar?
If the icon is there, but it just keeps flashing and wont lock then check the following:
1: make sure mobile data and/or wifi (connected) is turned on.
2: Then go to Menu>Settings>Locations & Security Settings.
3: Make sure Use Wireless Networks is checked.
4: Run GPS Status (market app)
First, yes the icon appears in the notification bar.
I tried the steps (several times trying gps status). The thing just shows no lat/long. I never get a lock in maps, or any other gps test.
at what point do I proclaim the gps is dead?
I'm calling it dead. Gonna do a factory restore to original Rom/condition. Then take it in as its still under warranty...

I would recommend going to #liberatedAria on irc.freenode.net and seeing if anyone has any idea what might be going on. Good luck.
gps revert worked for me.just flashed 35 still having gps issues.so are we doomed to flash a gpslib revert every time now?since this problem hasnt been listed on the bug tracker does that mean the devs dont consider it a problem?
after I went back to the factor default by following this thread:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-aria/65654-how-backup-factory-restore-htc-aria.html
I turned off the device and went to bed. In the morning I started to drive to the ATT store and just for fun turned on GPS. It immediately worked...
I have arco68's nFinityGB v1.05 installed on my phone. Recovery is ClockWorkMod.
So how can I recover my GPS? I can turn it on, with the App "GPS Status" I have a working compass, but it fails at downloading some GPS data. Google Maps failed at locating my current location.
With the search function I found some tips telling me I should flash SP-FroYo v2.2 AOSP, then flash some 1.6 ROM and so on..
I've tried this, but it failed with my current Recovery (ClockWorkMod).
So is there another way to recover my GPS, which is less complicated?
If not, can somebody give me detailed instructions how to do this?
Thanks in Advance
simply flash a 2.2 leave the gps on and flash nFinityGB is enough.
same here too
I've got CM7 and when I try to loacte myself, GPS is on..., then no icon is displayed at the top...

I will try, if I find a rom, which is compatible to ClockWorkMod.
But I remember, that I even had problems with GPS on 2.2..
Is that a software problem? If yes, which file can we reset/delete/recover to get gps working again?
If it is a hardware problem, is there an app, which can recover gps? I mean.. there must be some code, that CAN recover gps, because we have to flash 2.2 (or 1.6) to get gps working..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872668
try this...if it does not leaving it on with this.The only thing I can think of is to install the stock rom whit goldcard.But it usually works.
luck.
okay.. i've installed that rom you showed me and flashed back nfinityGB.
Now in Google Maps I can see a gps icon blinking on my statusbar, but it can't find my position. That's the only improvement after this.
in GPS Status nothing changes..
What can I do now? Any tips?
download of the market gpstatus and verifies that the satellites from which these...better if it's on the street or on a window.
What do you mean? I have GPS Status from market installed, but can't read out something with satellites.
It want to download some A-GPS-Data from WiFi and I can use compass, acceleration, magnetic field and aptitude (something like R01 R03).
It seems that it want to download something in the bottom, but can't. There is this circle, which stands for loading..
gps status shows your location in coordinates...Of course you should stop that locates the satellites is not instant.we recommend it for is a way to verify that the gps works, but if it leaves the icon in the notification bar is that it works you just have to be patient and wait for it to locate satellites.
First of all I m using a stock deodex 4.4.2 by tomsgt (www.root junky.com),But should work with all stock ROMS.

All The credits Goes to the above mentioned developers.Im merely organizing them in a single post
Things You Will Need...
Root
CWM recovery
gps.config zip file
gps status Application from playstore(apk or google it)
PROCEDURE
First Itself download the gps config file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233359
select your country or continent.copy the gps file into to internal storage
reboot into Recovery by adb command(adb reboot recovery) or turn off device and while turning on hold Vol UP and select recovery kernel
for this you need CWM recovery...Use tomsgt supertool for root,cwm recovery etc.
Select the install zip from internal storage ,select the gps config zip and flash ..click reboot system
For Kitkat (4.4.2)
once reboot is completed.
Install Gps status apk or any other gps fix software from the playstore
turn on gps from notifications
goto settings>location change the mode to high accuracy
open the gps status app.click or option>tools>manage a gps state >reset(you need internet connection)
and click download(a gps state will be downloaded)
and wait will get lock in 1 minute(update : for first time it takes some time 10 mins approx).. tried and working for XOLO tegra note 7 , should be working for other models too
Tips
if you have magnetic cover remove it for the first time (gets lock faster )
first time lock takes 10 mins indoor so from setting in the gps status activate keep gps ...
For NON ROOT users
Just Download gps status and do the steps as mentioned
goto settings>location and change mode to high accuracy
open gps status app and get lock with some time (21 min indoor)

I did try this method and seems to be working.
Initially it takes a while for the first lock but then onwards it does get a lock quickly. Thanks for posting this.

Hey is the 4.4 firmware from rootjunky cwm flashable?
This will help for a tablet without A-GPS function?
If you try in location settings hardware only, the gps lock is done in less than 1 min, try high accuracy (which is based on both gprs, wifi and gps) and you can wait a long time for a lock.
So, is that download the latest A-GPS data is pretty silly for a non-GPS hardware? material without a-gps
==> As noted by Deepak Vishnu below, I made a mistake, I wanted to write: a material without a-gps

Works, thanks.
If you're rooted you can just copy gps.conf into system/etc.
No need to use cwm.
gps has never worked on my note. even if i take it outside i get 15+ satelites but it never locks in so clearly its a faulty gps in many of the notes... no software can fix dat
