[Q] Flashing modems to fix GPS - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have rooted LG D800 with dorimax kernel, bumped bootloader and TWRP + CloudyG2 2.2 ROM.
Recently phones GPS ir unstable. One day it is working fine, other day can not get fix at all. (today are clear skies and still no fix at all)
I tried edit gps.conf , TopNTP , GPS statuss and nothing seems to work so I think if flashing MODEMS will make a difference?
Is there other way to get GPS working?

[Q] [D802] All my sensors are 'gone'!

[Case history]
I've been using CM11 for quite a while and one day I messed up. I installed a Kernel that wasn't compatible with CM11 and I couldn't boot the phone. So I used ADB to push a CM11 ROM and flashed it using TWRP and it was fine...until...
I found that all my sensors were not working....well not all, but 'all'. Please let me explain.
I noticed that Rotation doesn't work anymore; I noticed that Auto Brightness would not work anymore; I also notice Accelometer wouldn't work.
So I downloaded the app 'Phone Tester', and I went to the 'Sensor' section and there was nothing detected there! No sensors at all.
However, I have this cover for my phone and when I cover the phone the screen will go out --> I assumed that means the proximity sensor works? I also noticed that the screen will blackout when I am on a phone call.
[My question]
I searched a bit and had two speculations.
1.) Baseband/Modem problem? --> I tried flashing the KK Modem for D802 and it didn't fix the problem
2.) Kernel problem? --> I think this is quite possible...but didn't flashing the ROM = flashing in a Kernel?
Any help is appreciated!
If I were you I would flash it back to stock and see if they work then

it is a baseband issue, as you know cm has not incorporated the lg kk changes which means that the kk baseband would not work you have to flash the d802 jb baseband and you will get sensors working again

[Q] GPS is not working on stock rom, but on a custom rom works, why?

My G2 was on Kitkat, Official Rom, upgraded by LG PC Suite software.
But the GPS wasn't working, tried to factory reset, and nothing.
So I downgraded to Official Jelly Bean stock Rom. Same issue.
Flashed Stock Rom many times, again and again, and nothing. GPS still not working.
Then I tried a Custom Rom, the Cloudyg3. And guess what? It worked.
I don't know why it worked on a Customized Rom and not on a Official Stock Rom.
I flashed the D805 Model, which is mine from Brazil, I never flashed a wrong Rom before.
But I want to back to Kitkat stock Rom, not a custom Rom
.
Because there are some bugs on this Rom.
Some bugs on Cloudyg3, I have noticed:
The knock code isn't working when screen off.
Plug and Pop notification not working when pluging the usb. I don't get the message with the options anymore(Which is very useful).
And the app from LG, On Screen isn't available on this Rom, I use it a lot.
I don't understand much about it, is there a way to fix the GPS on KitKat Oficial Stock Rom? If it works on cloudyg3, I thinks it is possible to fix it.
If there is no way to fix the GPS, is it possible to fix the knock code, plug and pop and install the app On Screen on Cloudyg3?
Affliction Rom Great Alternative w/GPS

Maybe you baseband has changed? Or try to set the agps to your location .

Had the same issue. Installed CM12.1 but went back to 5.0.1 GPE: No GPS anymore.
Fixed it by flashing Stock Firmware with Odin, installed TWRP again and flashed my GPE rom again.
I tryed stock with Odin already.
Not helped
