I'm running CM 7.0.2 Stable release and I wiped completely before putting it on. But for some reason by GPS is running like crap. When I pull up navigation and select a location it won't track me and it will take at least 15+ minutes to actually lock to my location and give turn by turn directions..
anyone have some ideas they can pitch to me?
Redownload, rewipe, and reinstall

I just wiped all my data and went to Royal ginger 2.0 and opened navigation and still causing issues.
I got it working, flashed to a new rom, and reinstalled maps. Seems to be working now.
Might be a internal phone issue.

That little arrow which turns when you move around is gone for me.
I only get a blue simple dot, so i have no idea which direction i am actually facing too.
Any idea why this happens?
Means the magnetometer is offline, try checking if it works with a compass app.
Your right, it doesnt work with the compass app. Know how to enable it?
regards.
You got everything under My Locations in Settings checked?
I honestly never heard about the magnetometer suddenly dying
Yea everything is enabled... Geuss ill just have to reflash my phone or something?
EDIT; something probably went wrong when i flashed darky 7.0 rom
I just wiped my data and it works again. Weird.
Hey. I had this problem with v6. I had to do a factory reset and reflash the rom. Pain the ass but darkys rom is more than worth the pain.

All,
Been on CM7 since build 32 and cannot get GPS to work. I believe I got it to work twice. I have tried everything from deleting the SPL lines from gps.conf, and downloaded GPS Status and nothing worked. I have gone as far as to doing wipes between nightly builds fresh install and still nothing. It's driving me crazy.
Any info would be great! Thanks!
I had the same issue. What actually worked for me was I just let it sit for twenty minutes searching for GPS and eventually it found it on it's own and has been working with no issue since. Although when it did find it at first it had me in a location jumping from street to street but it eventually locked into my position.

This should be moved to the Q&A sub forum. I'll request that.
------------
For me, the usual process has been to enable the GPS and then reboot as I'm heading out the door to the car. Reboots seem to have been the key.
But on #39, even that has not worked. There were a number of GPS related patches yesterday, so I'm hopeful that the nightly was built before all of the commits hit the source tree and #40 will fix it.
I've asked in the main thread about it. Its possible others with #39 have functioning GPS, and the restore procedure I use after installation may have hosed something.
Symptom: GPS Status shows no sats, and never receives sat information. A-GPS reset/reload has no impact.
Ok, so you saying install #40 and see what happens? I'm still on #38, guess I'll update tonight.
Thanks!
Yes, according to the CM7 nightly thread tonights build should address the GPS issues people are seeing. Try it out.
On my GF's MT4G, I had CM7 an old Nightly from March or something and it was working fine. I wiped and flashed CM7 stable yesterday and it was perfect all day while we were at home, connected to wifi.
This morning while at work, she's trying to use her phone but nothing will work. It connects to T-Mobile's data and shows a 3G symbol but the icon never turns white and no apps that need data work. I read throughout the entire thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030440 ) and no one has this problem, so what's going on?
The thread doesn't list that a new radio is required, so what could be the issue here?
Anyone have any suggestions? Already tried rebooting and toggling Airplane mode multiple times.
This is a long shot, but try going to wireless settings, mobile networks, apn settings and deleting the placeholders for username password and server. It's worked for me before. Short of that, I would just rewipe and start from the beginning, sometimes you just get a bad flash.
Try flashing a current nightly or wipe everything and reflash stable. I personally didn't ever like the stability of CM7 that's just me though

This was a stable though, which is the weird thing. This is a fresh full wipe and flash of the CM7 stable release.
What do you mean you don't like the stability of CM7?
Going to try Nightly 41...
Kept getting install errors for 41 went to 40 works great. Was on stable and lost all 4g now on nightly works great.

Check the APN settings! I had the exact same problem yesterday after flashing CM7 stable. Turned out my APN values had completely changed. Just filled in the correct values and everything was fine. Good Luck!!
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,
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

There has been improvements in the newer releases. You should try updating to a more recent release.

The newer cm7 releases fixed the navigation orientation problem. Try the latest stable release, 7.0.3.
I upgraded to synergy's Gingerbread rom and everything went well, I turned off the screen then turned it back on and the screen is stuck on dim (like 20%) and cannot be adjusted. I switched to another GB rom and its the same. I updated the kernel like someone said to 2.6.35.10-htc-kernal_and18-2-signed after updating to gingerbread but it didnt fix the screen brightness issue, Im stuck at like 20% still and cant adjust it with any settings or programs.
Any help?
Is my phone just koo koo pants or has this never happened to anyone else? Or is this one of those problems everyone knows about so they ignore new posts about it
Are you on RC1 or RC2?
RC2 has an "auto-brightness" under the quick settings menu.
You can also go to menu --> settings --> display --> brightness, and make sure that auto brightness is unchecked
Or... All apps, open up spare parts, and there is another brightness mode option there.
I dont believe I remember how to check RC1 or RC2, my hardware version is 0003?
And I tried all settings and none worked, auto brightness is unchecked.
Well RC1 was released a few weeks ago, and RC2 was released yesterday.
When you installed synergy, did you wipe cache and dalvick cache?

Ill go grab RC2 and check it out.
Thanks for the help buddy.

Try wiping system and boot as well. This may be caused from "left over" system files from your previous roms... I use VR super wipe and do the factory reset and wipe dalvik and cache every time.

I had that same problem on my LG Optimus S when I had it.. I ended up having to unroot and factory reset it.. fixed the problem. then re-rooted and installed all types of Roms and they worked great there after.. now im stuck with this unrooted Evo
Just wondering, has anyone had problems with their media volume staying at the same volume, no matter if you turn it down. This is really frustrating, I have tried flashing my recovery and deleting the stock car panel app (which.i hear causes the problem) please can someone help me. I'm running synergy rc2.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I already had done a full whipe when I installed and Ill try unrooting and going to GB stock, if the screen doesnt work Ill just have to go to the sprint store and get a new phone and wait for GB to be jailbroken which I have every confidence will be sometime soon.
well I unrooted and went to 2.3.3 stock and it still dims the screen after the first shut off. I have to take it to the sprint store now to get fixed but I just had my wisdom teeth removed so I cant go anywhere for a while. yay
