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..

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.

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.

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
Hi, I've just make my HTC wildfire into CM7. It worked so nicely.
But one thing I realise I was unable to locate GPS satellite with my navigation software.
Is it something to do with the radio? Can anyone please give me a full guide to solve this problem?
Thanks!
This is a known problem. Flash the latest radio from the Wildpuzzle thread
Here's the link...

thank you micheal and steve for the fast reply!! thanks =D
still unable to locate after i've flushed the radio image. please help =(
Try flashing Radio which ends with 19.25, not the one which ends with 20.10.
Another method is (was) to flash the old Nightly #0, because, GPS worked with this, irrespective of radio version, and, flash the new version over #0 without wipe, however, it seems the only site that hosted the old nightlies has removed it. :/
Try looking around and see if you can find the old nightly #0. Maybe someone has uploaded it in the forum, not sure though.
Does the GPS icon start flashing, but it doesnt connect? Or does the icon not appear at all?
If it starts flashing but stays flashing, make sure your internet is "fully connected" (the status bar icons turn green). Until then, I've found that GPS does not get a hook.
Here is how I managed my GPS problems I had with cm7stable.
1. Flash with nightly #32
2. Check GPS i.e. with "GPS Status"
3. Now flash with your favored build and DONT wipe cache/data
I got satellites fixed after seconds, even at home.

just one question... how the hell is it possible to get satellite fix indoor?!!!!!!!!!! surely u r getting fix by a-gps
OK guys I've completely given up.... I've completely bricked one phone and keep soft bricking another and have a third laying around, and I just can't figure it out.
I have a G2. The GPS works in stock 4.2.2 (Tested in GPS status and toolbox app) then I root and flash a new 4.4.2 ROM (tried Malladus and Mahdi) and bam the GPS doesn't work anymore.
When I revert back to stock (through lg flash tool) it works again. HOWEVER, if I just flash the stock 4.4.2 LG ROM GPS works once agai.
Do you guys have any clue wtf is up? I can't figure it out... I've tried changing the GPS config, the drivers, every tool in GPS toolbox. Tried GPS test and I just get nothing. Is there something completely obvious that I'm missing here?
I've also tried the trick where I backup my custom ROM, revert to stock and get GPS lock then restore my custom ROM. doesn't work.
thanks!

Try getting a GPS lock on stock using GPS test. Then go into maps and verify the lock is OK. Let it sit in maps for a couple minutes. Don't press the back key, just use the home key and reboot into recovery and flash your ROM.
If that doesn't work, get a lock in stock using the same method and when flashing your ROM don't wipe /system. I know it sounds weird but I had that happen a few times with me and not wiping system allowed me to get a lock on the custom ROM.
Let me know how it goes.

Ok I was able to fix it!
But in a completely random way.
I'll try to describe it in as much detail as I can so anyone who follows will not spend as much time as I did.
First: The problem. (This only happened in custom ROM)
In stock, my GPS worked fine, no problems and I got good lock and everything.
In custom ROM's, however:
My problem wasn't just that I couldn't lock on to satellites, I wasn't able to even see any satellites.
In GPS Test I wasn't seeing any satellites. In GPS Status and Toolbox in the middle right where it says fix/sat my phone was displaying -/-
I tried everything there was, from downloading GPS states to changing my gps.conf file to basically everything I could find online, and nothing worked.
Yet everytime I went back to a stock ROM, it worked perfectly 0.o.
Fix:
Today I gave it one last shot.
I'll try to describe everything I did down to the letter in case any of it makes a difference
I ran LG flash tool, let the phone turn on, but DID NOT activate.
Then I ran LG flash tool again, and let it activate and do it's thing.
From this point on I ran GPS status and toolbox, and I was both seeing satellites and locking on.
Then I turned on Maps (as suggested) and let it lock in on my position and sit there for a few minutes.
I ran ioroot and rooted.
Then installed TWRP.
I then intended to flash to TWRP 2.7.1.0 but somehow flashed 2.7.0.0, and didn't bother changing it. (I don't recommend doing this as it could cause problems.... I was just too frustrated to change)
I backed-up EVERYTHING.
Then I downloaded and saved onto my phone Malladus, Gapps, and the 11a-24-twrp.zip file that was needed.
I flashed it, and BAM it worked.
I turned it on, activated and immediately ran GPS status and toolbox and it worked right away.
Before if I flashed I would just get -/- in GPS status and toolbox, but now I find satellites and lock quickly.
Good luck to anyone who has this problem!
Try following my steps, they may just work.
And thank you for the help!
