DK17 - the bug is back!

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

And there will be more and more until Samsung gets their **** together. As for you, no one is forcing you to read this crap.

We should start titiling gps threads with a [GPS] tag. That way I can tell from the outside which "bug is back"

Maybe that's why it's not on official release yet?

No phone

My phone has been unstable recently, and for some reason now I've lost all ability to make calls.
I was using streakdroid 1.9.0, but now I'm updated to 1.9.1, however the phone is still failing.
Things are failing all over the place actually, but the phone is the main problem I want fixed.
Does anybody have any ideas? My current avenue is to try to update the baseband to the 354 build, but I'm having trouble finding it... any help there too would be good.
Thanks to all who want to help me.

Disaster averted, never mind, still I would appreciate a link to the latest baseband...

I am wondering what you did to fix your no phone issue.
My Streak also fell into a restart loop and no cell/phone connection cycle. I found that the reboot cycle stopped if I removed my sim. But, a new sim card didn't fix the problem.
I tried taking everything back to stock from Gingerstreak but that had no effect on the problem which was back within three days.

I froze a process necessary for my phone to work.

After flashing Froyo, GPS doesn't work. Anyone else have a fix?

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.
Edit: GPS intermittently works.

GPS on Froyo is so spotty that I might go back to DL17. GPS is that important to me.
Sent from my Continuum on stock Froyo 2.2.2.

Had no problems with GPS on E03 for me. I wonder if you got a program that intensifies GPS if that would help? Something like "Gps status"

a fix for wifi dropping has been submit for cm 7

As i said it's not just wifi it's normal data too and it started when i was using miui

Where can i get this fix?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App

The fix for wifi has been submitted to the dev team, but it hasn't been implemented by them yet, so it isn't a part of CyanogenMod yet. There was a build floating somewhere around this forum that contained the fix, but I can't find it right now. Maybe someone else will have better luck.

Signal help

So I bought this phone about a week ago, and have noticed something rather odd...the signal is never locked, it is either emergency calls only or mobile network not available or it does work...but when it does work it lasts for like 3 minutes... I live in Honduras and don't know what the issue might be.. I used to have a captivate and had the best signal one can ask for...any help?

Try flashing a different modem. Check siky_dudes thread in dev section.

silkys thread is only for cm7/cm9/miui modems!

Im running ics aokp milestone 4...the problem persists...is there any modem thread you guys can refer me to?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

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.

Dude, give that thing back if you can!! Nothing will help! You can do whatever you want, but you'll never achive more than 7-15% more signal and that's nothing relevant!!

i have same problem after new ICS updates it take like 1-3 minute to get network signal i tried different modems and still nothing

It has improved inside the city, i go to school outside of town and there I have no signal...at least I can call and text from home...

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.
