Are you overclocking? I had this issue, and if I make sure that setCPU isn't running on boot, then reboot my GPS came back. If I apply setCPU again, my GPS dies. I'm on cyanogen and the Kernel that comes with it.
See if that helps?

Is anybody else having a GPS issue? I am totally unable to get a GPS lock on my slide after i flashed the TeamFenix v2.0 Froyo Rom.
Also is there any other GPS navigation besides the google one that's pretty good?
Im also experiencing a lag to the Screen Rotation on the home screen .
Auto-Rotate Screen is checked off in Display settings. However it takes me a good 5 seconds before switching. Is there anyway to fix that?
My bluetooth is also not working. It's paired up and connected to the device. However, it doesnt ring and I cannot operate it (no talk,answer)
Im running TeamFenix v2.0 which i believe is just a new n better version of the CM6.
mod please move to q & a
A little reading would have revealed that yes it is based off cm6 recent version and that cm6 suffers some gps issues on some versions. Bluetooth does not work on cm6. Try an oc kernal if you havent already to fix your screen rotate lag
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
it would help to know what oc kernel you are running (if you are running one) and what home launcher you are using (ADW, LauncherPro... ect)
as far as the Bluetooth I answered that for ya a couple of days ago in the #TeamFenix v2.0 thread... until Cyanogen and the rest of #Teamdouche release CM 6.x.x we probably won't see a fix for BT using 2.2
the screen lag SHOULD be able to be fixed by one of a couple easy fixes... if you are running Launcher Pro un-install and re-install. if you are running the latest Dopio OC kernel (3.5) turn off you screen off profile.
for the GPS don't know about 2.0, however I do know it works just fine in TF 1.7.1 (I used it today to find a my newest shipper on my route)
but like I said on Friday if you must have BT then you will have to go back to a 2.1 ROM

As i mentioned in my post, that it's a better version of the cm6 therefore i did do some reading hence how i know.
As far as gps, so some versions it does work? Which versions are you referring to ? I do have a oc kernel.

hey
As far as kernel, Im running : Dumfuq OC 825-v3.2-legend-cm-2.6.29. Im using LauncherPro.
Okay thanks again, sorry to be a pain, it's just very inconvenient not to have the bluetooth specially when im driving and stuff and hoping there was an alternative but guess not....thx again. I guess u cant have both uh.
Since im using LauncherPro so imma try to uninstall and reinstall as you suggested...will let u know if it fixes the problem.Thx.
As far as GPS, then i guess its 2.0 issue ....cuz it's not working, when using google maps navigation, i keep getting the Waiting for GPS message , no lock watsoever.
I am running CM6 on my slide, and I can get a GPS lock. It's just a little tedious is all. I always have GPS turned off unless I'm using it. So these are the steps I use to get a signal/location lock.
1) Turn GPS on
2) Turn Navigation on and select address
It will never connect for me the first time
3) Exit Navigation and turn GPS off
4) Turn GPS back on and open Navigation
5) Select address again and make sure my phone is on my dashboard or can see the sky, and let it looks for about a minute.
If it doesn't get a location in a minute or so I repeat 3-5. I'm not sure if the phone needs to have a lined sight to the sky, but I know my gfs dads old gps needed it and I just do it to make sure.
Reflash an 806 kernel and your GPS should work. It seems that part of the chipset can't handle more than 806. And it's not that much slower than 825 anyway.

Had the same issues, its not the ROM its actually SetCPU thats causing the problem. For me at least it seemed to be my profile for "Screen Off" once I disabled that I no longer had a problem. If you're having a problem right now getting into your phone try pulling the battery and restarting, then go into SetCPU.
Thanks a lot
Thats exactly what I did disabled all profiles, so far its OK, but it only happens after a few hours with the profile on so lets see
Thanks tho

can you give us some more info? like whether your phone's overclocked? to what frequency? what apps were running? etc...
Well I had setcpu on the cm 6:1:1 and clocked 768 I beleave it would run right then it would reboot like 2 times a day so I took of the oc and set cpu and the reboots were now random like once a day or one at all .. so jumped to cm 7:1 everything is good so I set the built in oc to 768 and it was fine till like with in a few hours it would reboot again reboots are random but like once or twice a day so removed oc and back to the stock and only once a day on none at all ... apps that I use the most and leave runinf facebook, voice, talk , sd-booster at bootup set at 1024, music most of the time, also advanced task manager by rechild, ... if more specific info is needed I'm be glad to give to help me get closer to solve the problem .. thanx
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
how about battery temperature? how hot does it get when you're using/not using the phone? also, by randomly reboot, does it reboot when you're using the phone or just whenever it wants?
Battery doesn't heat up at all so normal temp ... by randomly I mean when it wants.. it in the pocket and u just feel the buzz of the reboot .. again no oc and just like 3 apps running at most also have cache clener ng runing at 12hour intervolts ... also ran permistion fix threw rom manager but not sure if the fix will stick since its s-on
Edit : forgot to say wifi alway on even when sleep since the phone does not have a data plane
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
hm... idk but perhaps it's the wifi that's causing those reboots. then again, if you don't have data plan, not using wifi will just turn your phone into paper weight.
Would having it s-on be a issue in any way?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Not at all, I have S-ON and only have reboot problem occasionally when I use wifi, battery gets too hot, or something.
Oh ok ... so would their be a fix for the wifi cuz this is getting annoying I have reflashed like 5 times in hopes it was a bad flash.. and don't really see a big library of roms that ain't sense roms ...
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I have had this issue with CM7 as well. Some nightlies are better than others.
To reproduce just keep toggling your wifi. Eventually the phone will reboot. I use to see "kernel panic" messages in the logcat file but the last time I captured logcat for this issue I did not see any message about a kernel panic.
Where would we post a bug for this?

I have not tried the WIFI fix. I would be curious if other can get the reboot to happen by toggling WIFI repeatedly.
I dont know how many of you guys know about this, but this driver is a life saver for the Evo. For a lot of Evo's, GPS lock can take FOREVER. However, with these drivers, GPS lock on Evo is INSTANT (within 5 seconds)!
I thought that since our phones have qualcomm hardware, these drivers might work. My E4GT (stock with Rogue's EK02 kernel and recovery) takes for-e-ver to get a lock if at all (indoor locks are a bona-fide no-go). However, after flashing this, I now get a quick lock outdoors, and get a lock indoors within 30 seconds. Perhaps it's just a fluke/placebo effect, I dont know. Been rebooting and testing these GPS drivers for the last couple hours and everything seems kosher now. YMMV.

How's the stability / speed of GPS lock after you leave the screen off 10 or so minutes?
So far I've been using the following gps.conf + SetCPU profile with good results:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356865
I already own SetCPU, but it would be nice to offer a solution to friends with the Epic 4G Touch without having to set up SetCPU for them.

can't tell you right now, i'm at work. i will tell you though, i did leave the screen off (with gps status running) for about 20 minutes while i was getting ready for work. when the screen came back on (after i got in my car), only took about 5 seconds to lock on after i opened google maps.
thanks a lot this fix worked for me
i see mention of battery issues on some of the earlier driver revisions... can the people that flash this report on any additional battery drain?
is there a way to revert from these drivers? i guess just nandroid first and revert back if needed?

Yes, I believe a nandroid backup will suffice. It's like that on the Evo anyways.
Can a MOD please sticky this...I think its very essential... this fix is flawless bro!

Also I sometimes have issues when changing roms with GPS but I have found that the app GPS status works great by just clearing out cache. You go to Tools - Options - choice at the bottom.. let it do its thing and then check your GPS again.
Just an alternative but the GPS fix posted here has worked wonders for the OG Evo

I have an OG Epic and had to flash a fix (the GPS started sucking pretty bad after the recent 2.3 update), so when I noticed my roommates ET4G was having GPS issues too I convinced her to let me root it (couldn't help myself), and more importantly flash CWM and this fix. I can say, their effects were nearly identical on both devices (albeit I used a different fix for my OG Epic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321049). After that fix on my device, and this fix on her ET4G we both went from 0-1 Sat locks in GPS Status, and unusable Google Nav to 4-7 locks and completely usable Google Nav. Neither device has had any other GPS issues since the fix (no freezes, etc).
GPS fixed!
Hi,
This is my first time posting on the xda forums as I only read others comments and try out things. Followed the cdma hero when I had it and now this.
Well I had gps issues. when I got this phone I tried every type of fix in this these forums. I tried the trick about configuring the gps.conf in the other forum post, additionally tried putting the set cpu to the screen off 500-500 100priority trick. The gps would work at times but would take around a minute to do so or sometimes when I had the phone on idle for a few hours it would never connect until a reboot.
At this I would have tried anything to fix the gps and I found this thread. I was like might as well try it if anything I can just nandroid back. Man it worked flawlessly. I tested every scenario in which I restarted the phone and it locked in 5seconds and then idled the phone for over 4 hours and then turned on gps status and it connected within 10-15seconds. This is all without clearing the cache too. But when I did clear it, it would lock faster.
My phone is set up with all the previous configurations from the other thread and this gps fix. There is definitely a performance difference, so its not the placebo effect. I haven't isolated if this fix was the the fix that corrected my gps or if it was the combination of both. But this sure works. Sorry for the long post lol hope this helps whoever had the same problem as me.
Ps. The whole phone is perfect. No los. Good battery. It was just the gps issue.

So then, you recommend doing a nandroid backup, then Flash the Drivers, if nothing ends up working, one can always reflash the previous backup and you're set as before?... also is there any wipes needed to be done before flashing the backup?

Sorry in advance if someone has asked this already but its hard to go through all the posts on your phone lol. Anyway, when i first got my galaxy s2 i was impressed at the vast improvement that was made to the gps from the vibrant that i had but since i rooted and flashed the juggernaut Rom onto my phone i seem to be having the gps issues again. Either the phone won't find my location or it'll locate me but then sit on the "searching for gps" screen forever and never get to the turn by turn directions. Has anyone else experienced this? Any known ways to fix this issue? Any insight would be great. Fyi, I've tried using the app "faster fix" and it did nothing.
Thanks

have you tried factory wipe then reflashing juggernaut ? and leaving it for 10 mins? also ur tryin gps outside?

I've noticed this issue. For me it just takes a LOT longer than it used to to connect. I used GPS test and it finds PLENTLY of satellites just for some reason it takes around 3 minutes to connect to them whereas before it would be an almost instantaneous connection.
