just to inform
hi there, maybe epsylon can see this.
yesterday i installed the last nightlies in 2 different defy, that was brought on the same time, and one of them showed the lattest bug in wifi, not connecting with networks with security, and the other one just worked like a charm. I just dont know how this could happen, i installed and updated them on the same form.
maybe different hardware? dont know.
well, everything gone fine with latest nightly

there have been pletny of GPS threads, obviously. but im wondering what you guys did to fix yout GPS on cm7? my gps worked in the past, but recently when i flashed RC4, the GPS stopped working. and i flashed the latest nightly and it is not working as well. i just baffles me because it worked in earlier builds, and you would figure it would work in more stable builds.
so.
what have you guys done to fix your GPS/what nightly are you on?
As an avid Foursquare user I use GPS every day, several times a day, these GPS issues are the main reason I'm still on the stock ROM.
i know what you mean. my GPS works on sense based roms, which is great. im not sure whyyyy its not working on CM7.

First things first: No indicator on notification bar when starting GPS traffic assist application?
Then you are living under a rock or having bad reception. Go outside. Using some kind of widget which uses GPS also and has a on/off switch in it? Try switching off and reboot. It simply should work with the latest nightlies. Try reflashing and fix permissions. Do not wipe your entire phone before flashing.
Doesn't work for me either with RC 2 or RC 4. I've tried some of the fixes out but no joy. I know how to use it and it works fine when I go back to stock. Issue is definitely with my CM 7 install. I'm hoping for a solution soon as this my only issue, but it's a big one for me.

GPS works for me (screen shot included)
I don't use the navigation much but if I understand the program gpsstatus, it is working for me. I have used CM7 RC2 and RC4 (which is what I am on).

That's right, yours is working fine. If the GPS is "broken", you won't have any activity on GPS Status. No green dots for the satellites on the round display, and no bars on the bar graph below that. Those will be blank, and you never get lat/long coordinates
It's still working for me on RC4, but locking takes about a minute, whereas it was almost instant on stock.
CM7 definitely does something to gps, very weird how everyone is getting different results.

had problems with gps locking on stock radio with cm 6.1.1 after flashing .27 i get almost instant lock in the house, that did not happen with stock rom or radio.
but my wifes with stock radio and rom did that from the box
both g2
GPS doesn't work at all for me in CM7-RC4 (I mean nothing, no signals or indicators or anything). Works fine in CM6.
I believe I'm currently running the "stock" T-mo OTA radio 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M and haven't tried a different one. Think changing that might help? I don't understand why some people have it working with this radio but not others.
Edit:
OK, I got it working. I had first installed CM7-RC4 using clockwork recovery (in the boot menu) after wiping out the stock ROM. GPS didn't work so I installed CM6 using ROM manager. GPS worked. I then installed CM7-RC4 using ROM manager and voilà, GPS works in CM7-RC4 now. I have no idea what the difference is.
Try .27 worked for me on cm 611 , just flashed the new one, works great, satellites get higher value on GPS test

Sorry, didn't see your post after mine. I edited mine to show that I got it working simply by downgrading to CM6 then upgrading to CM7. Could be a ROM Manager thing or maybe something left over from how CM6 configured the hardware, or who knows.
I do wish CM7 was more stable though, seems kind of wonky.
I had the same problem with CM7. Download gps.vision.so from either nightly #4 or nightly #34. Open up adb:
adb remount
adb push gps.vision.so /system/lib/hw
adb reboot
GPS should work after that.
Radio .26, CM7 RC4, flashed also the "auto-patcher" that patches files to your ROM based on what radio you have.
Hi there,
I installed CM7 on my nonblur defy and get to see that WIFI signal is much weaker comapring with my last rom Froyo 2.2.2. I am standing near my router and even here i don't have full signal vs Froyo wich i had full signal in every room from my house. Can i somehow fix this, is there any patch for fixiing this? Is there anyone else having this issue?
thanks for replys
Use cm7 rc 1.5
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
try reflash the rom untill it works
I faced the same prolem
you won't find answer since the developers would not acknowledge there's a problem. we must be the unlucky ones having dud defy that won't play well with gingerbread.....
edit: hey, just updated to cm7 nightly 110909 and wifi seems ok. lazy to go back to froyo to compare. so don't know if it performs the same. try it, op. the only thing i'm still not happy with cm7 is the earlier builds consumed about 13% (estimated) of battery life each day is now about 20%

I installed CM for the first time with nightly 110911 and had the wifi issues. Not only disconnects, but as I have two defys, one running CM and the other 2.2, it is clear the difference in the signal strengths when they are side by side.
In Quarx's post he does acknowledge:
BugList:
Some people say that they have wifi problems
I've tried: Delete the file /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and reboot. from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161460&highlight=cm+wifi
It's been just 20 minutes, but so far so good. Signal strength is comparable and no disconnects so far. We'll see...
Update: I guess it's some sort of intermittent problem as I didn't have it anymore. Now I'm using 110927 nightly and I don't see disconnects anymore, but sometimes it takes a long time to reconnect, but very seldom, compared to 110911 nightly.

i've since move on to miui 1.9.9 and wifi signal is much better. in fact im quite sure it is as good as froyo. i never have drop-out problem with cm7 rc1.5, just weaker signal than froyo. so i guess my defy is not having as serious a problem as yours. (actually it will drop out if i'm further away from the modem when the signal became too weak).
i'll give measel's solution a go when i have some time later. very interested to see if it works. oh and good luck. i really hope it works
Quarx just said some people have wifi problem. so he obviously have not seen it personally. as such i don't think he can work out what's wrong since he has nothing to work on. if measel's solution works then maybe it might give him a clue as to what the problem was.
just find it strange that if rc0 did not have the problem why rc1? surely he could work out the difference between the 2?
edit: tried deleting the file but it didn't do anything for me. still the same. also tried the latest nightly 110914 without any luck.
I have same problem.I flashed CM7 nightly 110928 and find wifi signal is weaker than stock rom. even my defy is near the router and signal is still not full.
Hi,
My GPS stopped working.
After much research and several tests, changing radio\RIL, stock rom.... could not get the GPS working.
Some time ago, after a long time just picking up one satellite, now does not get any.
Is there any tool or application to test the hardware?
Thanks.
rom do you use?
I noticed this with CM7.1.
The stock rom I tested was the latest 2.3.5 OTA.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17081413
Hi,
I tried this with the stock rom and did not work.
I tried with CM7.1 and still not show any satellite.
Sugestions?
Just for the record:
Radio - 27.14.04.28_M
Have the same issue
I like Cyanogen 7.1, but it seems that the gps doesn't work on DHD. Too bad, because it is a really good rom. I have radio 26.10.04.03_M. The same thing as described by others happen:
I turn on the gps, it start searching, and then it stops and the icon disappears even that the gps is still showed as being turned on
My case is different.
Worked for me several months without problems, and fast.
But stop working.
Someone?
I've tried modifying hardware (antenna), changing to stock rom, tried some different radios, editing gps.conf....
I do not know what else to do.
Anyone know some software to test the GPS hardware?
Have you tried changing the NTP servers?
Changing the NTP servers is part of the link spikey001 posted.
Have you tried flashing agps? I haven't got a thread to point you too but there is one in the DHD ROM section. There are about 6 different gps things you can flash, hopefully one of them will work.

You mention that your GPS used to work. Have you recently dropped your phone? It's possible that the GPS antenna contacts might not actually be making contact anymore (either through trauma or just plain old age)? If none of the SW fixes get your GPS working then perhaps you might actually have to do a HW mod?
See this thread for a HW fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318892
Don't worry, it's not as scary as it looks!
Hi,
sounds like what mine did.
Tried software and even made the fysical contact better for the gps-module itself.
No luck.
The solution for me was to buy a new gps-module on ebay for 5-10 us$.
Worked like a charm.
Good luck!!
Thanks for all the help.

I've tried the agps reset/download and no luck.

The phone did not fall, just stopped working.
I've tried the HW fix but did not work, still no satellites.

I can not find the gps-module on Ebay, can you help me?
same issue after upgrading to...
same thing happened to me after upgrading to ICS rom and since am not using it that much, just ignored it and wait for the devs to fix it...now waiting for the wifi fix of blackout ICS
Hi guys,
I rooted and flashed CM7.2 a few weeks ago, and I was hooked so last weekend I flashed CM9 RC1 and this morning I flashed CM9 RC2.
Two issues I'm having: Adaway worked perfectly on CM7.2 whether I was using wifi or mobile data. Now, it only works with wifi in CM9. I get that it's not supposed to work as well with connections like 3G but is there a way to get the perfect track record back that it had in CM7.2? I've checked the log for suspicious DNS requests and there's nothing showing up other than google and my carrier.
Also, Fast for Facebook http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1581371&highlight=fast+facebook only works now when I have a wifi connection
Are these two issues radio related (I'm a noob, so I have no idea) now that I've upgraded to ICS? My radio as it reads in the bootloader is 26.03.02.26_M (I'm with Bell). Should I be looking at the .19 radio I've seen people mention?
Thanks!
i just flashed trip's CM10 005 latest one. it is very buttery smooth.

If you took a minute to look at the CM10 thread you would have seen that this is a known issue.
im sorry. but the changelog says wifi already fixed quite a while ago. maybe i didnt noticed somewhere that there still problems with wifi. hmmm im quite new here.
