gps lock problem - Omnia II General

i have an i8000 with WM6.5. everything works perfectly beside GPS - i can't lock to any satellite with any GPS software. i've tried and installed numerous fixes, registry fixes and changing options in some service menu (i know that there was an option XTRA). nothing helped, all i got was a huge battery drain. i guess the only thing left is try flash radio. may i just reflash that rom component, may i use any version available, and is there a specific one you'd recommend?
thanks in advance

Same gps problem

Have you disabled A-Gps?
I got exactly that problem when I enabled it, and no problem at all when disabling

sorry my ignorance but with A - gps you refer to the quick gps???
Thank you very much
Yups, that is the problem with the ROM and the usage of A-GPS ... search "GPS problem", etc, to find a solution (just don't feel like retyping).
In short, to resolve the lags and long fixing of GPS -> I flashed to Duttys V2 ROM (which has A-GPS off initially), Hard-reset after flashing is completed. Other than that I am using the .05 Radio - all problems gone.
Had the same on Duttys V2 when aGPS switched ON (advanced Config). Just switch it off. IGO8 works nice but still lacks in graphic as there's no VGA skin for it. Anybody?

Has someone fixed this issue?

Wifi will not activate

After flashing with a new ROM etc..
When I go into communications, and tap on wifi.....it turns on for a sec and then turns back off. Any suggestions?
Here is what I have done so far.....
Started with: Radio v. 1.39.00, ROM V. 2.13.656.2, Bootloader 1.2
Went to bootloader 2.40(via Hard-SPL-MF.exe), Scrosler's Titan ROM 3.26 w/touchflow. and then Radio 3.42.30.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or solutions.

Try the hardware switch on the side of the unit. The software switch was never able to work under most ROMs that I have ever used.
I toggled that (WiFi switch), and it does the same thing for me.
Should I try another ROM or radio version? I don't want to do a bunch of flashing.......anyone know a good firmware version (and radio v.) with everything working and ready to go in terms of functionality? I don't mind putting all the carrier info in etc, just want all the radios to work afterwards (wifi, eV(cellular data), cell, bluetooth, IR)
Never heard of the problem. I say reflash because something happened.
Changed the battery power option under wireless to best performance.....everything works now
That's odd behavior. Post if it happens again.

When I use the ppckitchen my wifi refueses to work. I'm actually about to reflash it right now to DCD to see if it fixes it
Same Problem Here
The Switch seems to be malfunctioning...WHen I turn it off, it turns on the software for a second, then shuts off. WHen I turn it in the same thing happens. Really weird.
THis happened BOTH TIMES i reloaded the ROM.
im using the Kaiser Comm Manager(10 Buttons), and on it it always appears that the wifi is turned off, but functions fine with the switch

i have the exact same problem since a couple of month and i cant seem to find a fix for that. I dont even know if the problem is software on hardware related.
i have used dcd 3.2.6 and 4.1.2
and im currently running ryan 2.0 i think wm6.1
maybe i should try wm 6.5
the only thing i know is that i would REALLY like my wifi to work :'(

DO you see a MAC address in the WLAN advanced settings?
If not, you just need to write a new MAC address and your WIFI will work, or so I have heard.
so... how do we enter in a MAC address if it is missing?
Anyone?
guys
theres no fix take it to sprint and they will replace it happen to me twice

PERFECTLY. now, in gps viewer it can see like 10 satellites, but wont lock.
any ideas??
i really love wm6.5 btw, huge upgrade
nobody?? ive tried just about every tutorial i can find
I think we need a little more info. It sounds like your running on of the custom 6.5 roms, which one? Who is your carrier? What radio version are you running? What software have you added?

NFSFANS V14 6.5
verizon
radio 3.42.50
no added software, just what came on the rom.
thanks for any help
I usuallly use TomTom & I had a problem yesterday. I could not get a lock even after 3-45 minutes. I think normally I have TomTom confugured for Built-in GPS receiver. Just for the heck of it I tried in using other NMEA GPS receiver. Configured it 4800 & com 4. I was then able to lock within a minute. I would try & make sure you external GPS settings are set to the same. Also make your in you phone settings that location is on.

GPS Problem

I flashed my device to the Stock 1.66 ROM (Norwegian); I have HSPL 1.42 and I got some problems with the GPS. In Sense UI i can update the weather as normal but the GPS doesn't work in any other software. I have tried iGO8, tomtom 7 and GPSCycleComputer, with no luck at all! I also tried the gps mod driver at com 3 and I have tried all configurations in the GPS settings; all COM's and transfer speeds. But it doesnt detects my GPS hardware! Please help
umm. I don't think it's the GPS hardware that's giving you the problem, i haven't personally tried iGo or TomTom, but aGPS works fine for me.

Just so you know, the weather and location stuff doesn't use GPS. It uses your network. I can also confirm that the problem doesn't like with the ROM as I too have 1.66 and it works fine for me. The problem must lie elsewhere.
Sorry I can't be of any actual help, but I can confirm that it should be working.

Thankyou. I was familiar with it when it used to require some kind of intervention, like on my Diamond or HD, but I've never had to interact with it at all on the HD2 and just forgot all about it lol.
Thanks
QuickGPS doesnt work The update finishes, but it's always expired!
