I have posted a thread already but don't think it was in the right place. I am new to this and am still learning. I have rooted my phone and am having problems with watching any type of media weather it is you tube, internet or personal videos. I am also having a problem with my GPS and navigation systems finding my exact location unless on WiFi! The navigation never finds my location and is useless if its not working. Everything for the most part is working fine tethering and the Wimax key for 4g. I have tried other media players and have tried other navigation applications but think it is something internally wrong with the rom but am not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Try flashing another rom

Do a complete wipe and re-install the rom. Also go into the thread of the rom that you have loaded up on your phone and SEARCH for the answers to your question. Then search again then search again on google. GPS issue/answers are all over xda so before you ask a question that I am sure someone else has please do some research. YOutube has its own app and download RockPlayer if you have not already.
What ROM did you flash?

I flashed it with the gingerbread Idk which version.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
What was the name of the rom you flashed? Names like Fresh 4.0.4, CM7, Decks, Kingdom, etc.
That will give people the info they need to help you.
Kings gingerbread 7.0

If I find a solution, I'll post. Maybe what fixes one of us can fix the other.
Have you tried deleting the.cache and data? Sometimes that fixes issues.

This issue comes up in some roms. Viper rom 4.03 had this issue but they fixed it in the new release they made today. You might try sending them a pm and see how they fixed it. But first try the developer for your current rom.

I fixed mine by uninstalling Google Maps and installing Maps 4.5. Looks like, at least for myself and some other Vibrant users, the latest Maps update caused this issue.
Bionix-v1.2
Dragon kernel v4 Test4
Androdena theme
(I posted this in the main Android Apps forum, but as I have an Inc, I figured I'd double up...)
Is anyone else having issues with Awesome Drop? I hadn't used it for a week or so until yesterday. I dragged my file into the browser window and then nothing happened. The file showed up in the Awesome Drop window on my laptop browser, but the transfer didn't occur. I've tried it several times in the interim with no success. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I've tried in both Chrome and FF.
Dumb question but did you make sure to open it on your phone?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Haha. Yes. Each time I also reset the PIN to make sure that wasn't goofing things up. Is the app working for you? If I know the server is routing files for others, then the problem is on my end. If others are having issues, it's likely on Awesome Drop's (Dashwire Labs) end.
It worked for me as of yesterday
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Would you mind trying it again with a small file to confirm it's STILL working? This is driving me crazy... I'd appreciate it.
Worked with the ADW2Beta.apk file. It's about 0.58 mb

Arrrrgh. Thanks so much. Now I get to figure out what's corrupted on my end. Sigh.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Yep. I've uninstalled, wiped the Dalvik cache, tried restoring from Ti...no luck. Browsing, Chrome to Phone, texts...they all work without a hitch. For the life of me I don't know what's gone sideways here... It's really frustrating, too, because Awesome Drop is my go-to solution for a lot of file transfers. What browser do you use? Are you stock or using a custom ROM? (I'm on CM7.)
Stock Froyo (2.2.1) rooted. And Chrome on Mac. Are you on the right Wi-Fi? I know it seems like a stupid question but you'd be surprised at how often it's simple things like that
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Ah, I wish it were that simple. I just confirmed that I can send files to a buddy's phone from my laptop...thus, I've managed to tweak something in the dark recesses of my phone. As I've been delaying my plan to flash a nightly version of CM 7, I guess the wait is over! Thanks again for verifying that the app worked.
Do you have a NANDROID from earlier that you could flash to to see if that would fix it? Then try to isolate the.problem in the data entering and leaving the phone

I have no idea where that is. I can't find any info on "nTelos" under a search for either "mms issues" or "miui" or any combo. Can you just tell me what you did to get your Evo to work on nTelos?

Is it possible to flash it myself? I know they use Houdini at the store to flash it, and I'm quite sure I can flash it, I just needed to know how to get data and MMS working. Can you maybe be a little more specific?
i borked my mms, again. and ended up using app manager off of 4 shared on the market. sending is great, full picture great normal quality, but receiving is really poor. Its a full size picture but really really poor quality. the muiu thread was just a search for mms fix for ntelos and in google that one fix seemed to work, but was just easier downloading app manager. Yeah, its very frustrating, i would pay for an app that works good, but so far nothing is available.
Ok, so once again i'm wrong. went to the guy who flashed my phone and he reinstalled the app again on my phone for free! It took all of 5 min. Got to talking with him and he said that he spent months trying to come up with something that worked with sending and receiving mms, in the way the phone should. And if you live in lynchburg va. or near he works at unlimited wireless on wards rd. great guy his name is cris. thanks Cris! everything i tried would not work, smsgopro, handescent,chomp, change apn manually through voice dialer, ##3282# and changing them there. ya know, all the easy fixes. MMS has been a big problem for alot of phones. But in may the evo4glte comes out, sorry OG....RIP.
http://remotesquad.com/mms/ this app works for picture messaging and such. super simple. wish i found it years ago. Just Google remotesquad.
Is anyone else having issues with google music 4.0 on their epic 4g touch?
The issue I am having is every time i try to play a song or playlist, the song has to buffer completely before playing. Not a major issue but still very annoying, especially since i have to constantly have to hit the play button over and over for it to even buffer. Also leaving to another app causes a fail to stream and it has to start all over.
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

Yes I am. I am also running starburst rom 1.9.5

I had the same issue on starburst. Its a problem with the local hosts or something, and the fix that was provided did NOT work. Installing Calkulins ROM fixed the issue for me, he has implemented the fix into his ROM.

Just to give a shout to EPEK.WARE and their awesome GPS Doctor app on the market. I have not been able to get a GPS fix on any of the new ICS roms and found this program tonight. Some of the reviews stated that it did or did not work for them but for $1.99 thought i'd give it a go.
To my surprise I went from 1 or 2 sat's in view but not in use to 8+ and all being used! Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone tired of not getting a GPS lock.

A bit late in the reply, but yeah I flashed the FC22 modem (on Blu Kuban Rom btw), updated my PRL and I'm still getting the dreaded "Waiting for location" message when trying to use the Google Maps Navigation app. I'll try the other modems & see if that works.
If anyone cares to try it, this has been around for a while I just made it flashable.
It should work with ICS and GB.
Here is the original thread if anyone wants to reference it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381666
Let us know if it works for you. Thanks - TD
Edit: This does not replace anything BTW. It adds a file to one of the system folders. If you want to know exactly what & where, read through the thread I posted above.
That did it. I don't use GPS much (if ever), but it always bugged me that I couldn't get it to work. Thanks.

Very cool guys. Glad it works for you! That's why were here after all.
Bump!
See post #9 for the fix. I know this worked wonders for GB and ICS.
Hope it also works for you folks having issues with JB.
365 downloads and only 3 thanks. Bummer.
Hey TD can I just push this into my /system/lib/hw and set permissions?
On Kobridge's DeOdexed FL16
I have a gps.exynos4.so there already don't know if they conflict or not.
And since my last JB upgrade (from FL04 to FL16) my GPS has gone to sh^t. And I've tried just about everything already. Could be hardware but hoping just the same.

Hey LB. This just adds a new file and doesn't replace anything. Jellybean is real weird about setting permissions sometimes on flashed files so this zip sets the permissions for you (only difference is permissions are set with this one).
Oh, and let us know how it goes.
Edit: BTW, I'm not having issues but I flashed it anyway and had GPS lock before I even stepped outside the front door.
I'll do it now.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Here's hoping...
Well still didn't get any GPS app to lock. Google maps works but that always had, though poorly and loses connections if navigating.
On the plus side (at least for now anyways) any GPS app I open (FasterGPS, GPS Status & Toolbox etc.) will actually close and stop searching.
Previously if I installed these and tried to get a location - even just on google maps they would launch in the backround (whether I opened maps or Facebook) and I'd get the 'trying to aquire gps location' thingy running even after closing the app(s).
And the only way to stop that is either go to App Info and force close the System UI or reboot. Turning off GPS and/or all location services does nothing once the search had started.
I guess it's getting down to hardware. Kind of really p.o.'d Got rid of my last phone becuase the GPS stopped working. I guess I'm one of the few who use the snot out of it. I moved to a new area a few years ago and don't know where jack is. And nothing is logically laid out here either.
Thanks again. I'll have to start considering other options. :/
help please
running JB 4.1.2 GB08 google nav is unable to lock on to gps unless I reboot my phone then it will work normal until I use nav again at which point says searching for GPS , any idea on how to fix this
Try updating to GB27 modem, updating PRL and profile. I had issues with GB08 too. Also, try Comadose tweaks Goddly put together. It's in the dev forum. It has a jb gps lock tweak. Good luck!
