[Q] Searching For Gps problem. HELP!! - Nexus One General

I have seen multiple threads on this subject for every other phone but none for the Nexus. Ever since i updated to CM 7.0.2 my gps hasnt worked properly. It locks in on my position and others in latitude very quickly, but if i try to use navigation it stays stuck on searching for gps. When i attempted to use the app gps status to check out the problem, it keeps loading and never finds any satellites. I posted in a g2 thread and the response i got back was this:
"You need to find out what partition on your phone the radio/gps cache is stored. Wipe it. That is the same type of idea of what we are doing here. Hopefully that helps get ya going in the right direction. I would also recommend trying to back it up first if you can. I'm also sure some dev with the know how could write a very easy script for you so that you can't mess it up. But it would obviously have to be someone familiar with the nexus setup. Good luck!"
can anybody help???

I wish I could ban people for this.

Something funky is going on here.

I am not sure how to keep this from happening. I set it and it stays for a while and then somehow it just randomly changes back.
I have unchecked update automatically in the phone options menu as well...
Any ideas? I searched for this but I got no hits. Perhaps I am not searching properly. Any help would be appreciated.
Please guys and gals. I could really use some help. I have seen lots of threads and it all jumbling up.
I am begging here...
Thanks.
what is ' it '?
You didnt even post the problem you are having.. what is updating? whats wrong? Explain yourself more thoroughly
I've some crazy and vague posts in my day... this one takes the cake.
MOD: close this worthless thread.

A market problem that is now fixed...

Well, I've seen a lot posts about this and only once an answer. This answer took MUCH research and I really wanted to share this with everyone.
Problem: Market Downloads will blackout/close when doing any action then send back a previous screen - on CM5/Dr. Cloverdale's Magic Elixir (Eclair branch).
I wiped, wiped, wiped, reflashed, reflashed, reflashed, and repeated. NOTHING seemed to fix this. I searched for a while on here and on cyanogen forums. Even tried Google, but this is kinda hard to pinpoint on a search on Google. I've seen a lot of posts about this problem that proves it isn't just me having this. Most of them in the official cyanogenmod XDA thread, which who can actually follow that effectively? I also only found a solution for it one time by chance on cyanogen forums.
Solution: Open Google Talk.
Why this works? No idea. Anyone care to explain? I have tried this and can confirm it, and one other post on cyanogen forums confirmed it as well. Can't link - it was hard enough to find it the first time. However, anyone having this problem, try it. I posted this because I know many people don't search, and even with searching it took me a while to find the solution. Many people also don't speak up about issues, so I'm just sharing for the better of everyone.
I in no way claim to have found this solution, I just wanted to share with everyone. I COULD NOT update any application from market, and it actually forced me back to donut. Now that I found this, Eclair is actually usable.
Please post if you're having this problem and if this works for you or not. It took a while for it to happen to me, but I want to know if this is an actual solution or an odd coincidence.
It is because the market uses google talk to sign in.
Very interesting. Sadly, though, this is a temporary fix. Even after opening I still have problems with market doing same thing maybe 5 minutes later. :/
Well, FIRST time it worked perfectly. No problems rest of day. Now, it's just constant.

GPS doesn't work anymore, please help me!

hi everybody,
i have some problem with my magic's GPS;
after trying different rom, i came back on cursorsense in order to overclock the cpu with the latest kernel avaible from this forum...
everything seems to be ok but, a few day after, when i needed use copilot 8, gps doesn't work anymore:
no satellites are avaible, no signal (from copilot setup and from other apps like gps status or gps test).
i tried to restore some nandroid backup (with different rom, myhero, smoky cursorsense) but always copilot installs upgrade and gps is still not working...
also from google maps gps location doesn't work.
please help me,
gps is broken???
Ps sorry for my very poor english
thanks a lot
Flash the radio again and possibly with gps on (don't know why this counts, but they say it does). Talking about "with gps on", did you try to reboot with it being turned on ? Oh and btw this is not for dev section and it will probably moved soon...just to point out
yes i've already reboot with gps active but no effect...
but flashing the radio agai i need to wipe (or not?) how i can take gps turned on?
anyway i will try tomorrow morning...
thanks i will reply you.
ps sorry i visit often this forum but it was my first thread and i didn't klnow where to post it...
thanks!
hi, i've tried to flash again the radio today...
everything is ok... thank you a lot for the help or
if you prefere, hvala!
Thanks, goodbye
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
sorry... thanks for putting in order... Bye
Well the subject of this thread IS dev-related, since it's an issue that affects many users of multiple roms, nobody knows what causes it or how to fix it, and is definitely not created by the user's ignorance or inability to read and follow instructions.
OTOH there already is a thread discussing it and it has produced little or no new insight. In short, it sometimes helps to reflash your radio (same version you're currently using), but depending on rom and carrier that fix may be short lived. You're also more likely to have a working GPS on a sense UI rom, but those have their own disadvantages. Users of some carriers rarely or never report GPS issues, while on other carriers these recur often.

[Q] Help wanted from Android Wizard!

I know this is not the right section for this, but I wanted to ask anyway since us noobs in de General Section can't figure it out, and this is the hangout spot for our android wizards!
edit: guess the thread got moved...
Problem:
A number of users have problems with some process taking up 100% CPU all the time causing massive lag and battery drain!
Using OS Monitor we have identified the process to be /init. We tried all sorts of things but nothing helps. After a reboot or hard reset the problem disappears, but comes back after a while. It would be great if some android expert could point us in the right direction!

Thanx in advance!
Thread moved to General.
bump
Can I bump? Is it allowed?
Anyway I just bumped....lol
i dont have the link you can use google to find it but there is a massive thread on this over in the offical android forums, it has been running since 2.2 came out (maybe even longer cant remember) and its not DHD specific affects lots of devices and it seems to be an issue with android itself that google needs to sort out
imo try reflashing the device with the RUU, if that fails then your out of luck cause there is no solution to it at all

Found EASY gps fix

so as many of us here i had the gps problem, and i started to not care anymore. The other day after i flashed Trigger 3.2, i also flashed some useful apps like SGS tool, spare parts etc. As i was going over those apps, i went to SGS tools, and noticed GPS fix all the way at the bottom. I decided to give it a try but didnt think it would work. I clicked and then select north-america.... and apply.
And surprisingly my GPS has been working perfectly fine since then.
So those of you who still have gps problem, try that
Hope this help

This has been posted before, it works for some people and it doesn't for others. Just like every other GPS fix out there. Not trying to be rude and I'm sure everyone appreciates you trying to help, but duplicate threads just create clutter. Once again I am not trying to be rude so please do not take it that way.
flashing the S.gps is the easiest way as I know
This is kind of random, but did anyone notice that the latest Kies update fixes/helps GPS?
With KA6, I have to manually set GPS mode to MS-Based and change the supl settings before I get a quick lock. With KB5, it works very well right out of the box. No configuration needed.
ooooohhhh
