[Q] What are the best GPS settings?

Hello Everyone,
I want to know what the best GPS settings are for the Vibrant. I have seem to not been lucky with GPS settings in the past week. Everything worked well until i flashed a new rom and lost the GPS ability to lock. It can see the satellites but not lock on.
Can someone direct me to the best flashable zip or give me a step by step to change the settings? Ive also attempted to flash a few gps fixes but the settings don't stick! Could I have fried my radio?

No GPS settings may be needed unless you insist on staying on your current rom.
AFAIK, i9000 based roms break the GPS while JK2 based ons won't. That's been my experience anyhow. So, I now ignore all i9000 based roms because I need the GPS to work. I don't expect this situation to change either until Vibrant kernel sources for 2.2 have been released.
Unofficial official Stock JK2 2.2 (CWM / ODIN) or AOSP-ish v1.1 are JK2 based while Macnut, Onyx and Obsidian (v5 excluded) roms are not. You can typically easily tell what you're running by whether the i9000 logo shows up on boot or not.

gps problem after flash!

Hello my Legend before root was no brand Froyo 2.2 and GPS works well.
Then I ran successfully the root and installed the stable version 7 CyanogenMod but the gps does not want to officials in spite of having GPS installed booster for the test plus gps fix and to check ... but no signs of life, not satellites even see them ... how could hook ... I tried to flash with the nightly version, but nothing came back to the stable .... what do you recommend? Froyo return to 2.2 for a further verification? then I'll root again?
Help please!
thanks

I've replied you in your thread at Dev forum... Anyways, I solved the GPS issue on my legend by upgrading the radio to version 7.13.35.13 as suggested in one of the posts in CM7 forums.

[Q] Problem with Wifi (CM7.2)

Today I installed CM7.2 following the instructions in the thread. I came from stock froyo 2.2.1 and everything worked fine but had some random reboots.
Since I have CM7.2 installed my wifi doesn't work anymore. If I turn it 'on', it doesn't search for available networks. It disables itself after +-30sec. I also noticed I don't have a Mac-adress anymore.
Is it possible that the problem is caused by doing no 'remove caches'. It wasn't in the instructions so I didn't do it. Should doing that fix the problem?

reflashing always works hehe

Tried it and it worked.
Sorry for the useless thread...

I am having this same problem with the newest Aurora ICS, but reflashing didn't fix it.

If you want a stable GB rom forget about the official roms and use any custom GB with .32 kernel. These are the most stable ones. I use ezet's.

[Q] WiFi/Audio/Phone not working after installing custom Rom

Complete noob here but I finally Rooted my phone. I tested PAC Rom, CM 10.2, and then Carbon Rom and each time I get the same issues. My Wifi and Bluetooth don't work, doesn't even scan for signals or devices. I have no audio sound, nothing at all. I can't receive calls without it FC but I can make them, however, its difficult to do because the dialer seems to freeze up when dialing and calls will fade in and out. Each Rom seems to be the same. Cant seem to find any device specific info so if anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thank you
Incase anyone wants to know. The issue was because I was running 4.4 when I installed a Rom for 4.3. Just flashed factory settings for 4.3 and installed the rom after that. Works great now.

[Q] Canadian Note 3 No GPS Signal

Hi,
I have a Canadian Note 3, it is rooted and has a custom recovery on it. I used to have the Tweaked ROM which worked perfectly even the GPS. I have tried to switch over to many different ROM's and even unroot and go back to stock but the GPS does not work in any of them. However if I re-install tweaked rom the GPS starts working again. I have tried various different fixes i could find, some have no effect and some put me in a boot loop. I would really like to try different ROMs and I need GPS to work. Anyone come across this problem or have a possible solution?
Thank you

Do you at least go out of the house to test gps ? Many don't...

Yes, I went outside and drove around for 10 min and then stood in a single place for another 10 and put the phone near the windshield, but still nothing!

Is this Tweaked rom based on S5 firmware ?
If so, there is a thread on how to make gps work if coming from S5 based roms.

No I don't think it is the S5 firmware based. It is the version before that (TweakenN3)

If anyone encounters the same problem, I installed Lean Kernel and that fixed the GPS issue.
