Hey guys, I need a bit of help. I have been using CM7 since build 0, and have been having hte GPS lock issue as everyone else has. I finally got around to going back to a sense ROM to clear the gps using ##GPSCLRX#. When I put that in it asked for the password (MSL code) and I accidentally hit ok, finger slipped. It said password incorrect and I'm not sure if it cleared the GPS or not. I tried to do it again, but when I type in ##GPSCLRX# it just disappears and the password window doesn't come up anymore.
I tried going back to CM7 and then back to a sense ROM, and I can't get that window to pop up again. My GPS still isn't locked consistently, just a quick lock every now and again, so I don't think the clear worked. I don't know how to clear it now.
I tried doing it on Myn's 2.2 and the stock ROM.
Today I did a full wipe and installed a fresh Myn's, and when I type in ##GPSCLRX# it still just disappears from the box, and it never prompts me for a password.
I would really love to get the GPS up and running, because other than that I love cm7. Appreciate the help. If someone can get my GPS up and running well I wouldn't mind donating a few dollars to a beer fund or whatnot.
CM7 RC1 is supposed to have the GPS issues cleared up.
Did you try a factory reset?
RC1 still does it.
I did a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) when i installed Myn to do the clear, it still wasn't working.
Data wipe via clockwork is the same as factory reset, right?
Maybe this won't help, but you can try unrooting.
Any other suggestions?
Clear Data/Cache on the Dialer in Menu | Settings | Applications? Not sure what else this might muck with.

flash back to frest rom.
copy the attached epst.apk using root explorer to /system/app
when it asks to overwrite accept then install it.
your ## codes should work again.
you can also install 'gps status and tools' and clear the data there
After I went s-on and ran the latest ruu, I had to reapply the GPS fix after I rooted and loaded cm7. I couldn't get the GPS fix to work in Caulkins 1.8. It would reboot and hang at the white evolution screen. I used a rooted copy of the latest stock Tom and everything worked great.

This worked, however I still can't get the GPS to lock. :\
It seems like now I can't even get the GPS activate. If I turn GPS on the icon never comes on in the notification bar. It seems like its only trying to get a lock using the nearest tower or satellite or something.
EVO GPS not locking in GB 2.3
I did a little more research and it turns out that this is a common problem for anyone moving from 2.2 to 2.3 on evo. I found the fix by doing a GPSCLRX from my rooted stock sense rom.
0) Download the 2.3ROM and optional google apps to your sdcard; place it somewhere you can find them when in recovery
1) Download 'msl reader' from android market, run it and record your msl or call Sprint and beg for your msl number and record it for later.
2) ***MOST IMPORTANT PART*** you have to do this from a stock sense ROM. If you made a backup prior to your initial install of a custom ROM just restore it if not get stock ROM from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
3) Once your stock ROM is up verify your GPS works and locks (GPS toolbox or Maps etc..)
4) With your GPS on; Open dialer and press ##GPSCLRX# or ##4772579#
3) When prompted for the password input your msl code from step 1
4) Phone will reboot in 20 seconds
5) Reboot into recover (power button + down volume)
6) Wipe everything and FLASH 2.3ROM + latest gapps

I'm having GPS issues as well. I tried a similar instructions yesterday except I didn't test my GPS when I restored my stock ROM and turn on GPS during GPSCLRX. If i back up my CM7 rc3 now before I try this again can i just use the restore feature again after unlocking GPS or do I have to wipe and manual flash?
** EDIT ** I'm new to this so I want to add that I'm using the SavagedZen Kernel. Do kernels affect GPS? I haven't read that it does but just wanted to add it to help troubleshooting. I restored to stock ROM and confirmed GPS is working. Hope this works...
Works like a charm! I struggled for hours trying to get it to work and then ran across this thread. Thanks a bunch!
Can anyone help?
I'm trying to follow the ##GPSCLRX# fix documented here. I flashed to a Fresh ROM to get Sense, and got my MSL code.
However when I dial ##4772579# the dialer just locks up (looks like a previous poster had the same issue).
I got around it by saving the number as a contact and dialing the contact.
The phone rings twice then says:
"The number or code you have dialed is incorrect. Please check the number or code and try again. Message 7, Switch 351."
I tried dialing the same number from a free alternate dial app, same response.
Any ideas? No GPS really sucks
(And yes, I have double- and triple-checked that I'm dialing the right number. And yes, Sprint is my carrier.)
Oh, and using the GPS Tools app: Tools -> "Manage A-GPS state" -> "Reset" didn't change anything.

crazedfred, I actually had the same problem today. I think it might have something to do with Fresh and not the method to fix it. I originally tried using fresh and encountered the same problem you're having.
Instead, I used Sprint Lovers as my Sense-ROM and followed the same instructions and everything worked out ok. If done correctly, you shouldn't have to dial ##4772579#. Once you input the last pound sign you should be prompted to enter the number from MSL Reader.
Just a note: When I did this today I started to have some data connection issues but I'm not entirely sure if they are related. I'll update if I can figure it out.
I've had these issues any time I moved from sense to aosp...I just flash to stock rooted, run ##gpsclrx#, enter msl and actually use the GPS after reboot...

Hey xda,
My Desire has stopped sending sms's since i installed MIUI-AU 1.6.10 - used many ROMS before but never had this issue.
The first time i switched to MIUI i followed the instruction to flash the corresponding *.DX.zip file before flashing the ROM [see their site] which i did, then flashed the rom - all seemed ok and since then every time i send an sms to any number, from contacts/manually typed or what have you it gives an error - 'message not sent'
Since then, ive switched to the updated MIUI-AU,MIUI 1.6.17 (running currently), RCMix..whatver is their latest build - and im sure the issue will come back with any other rom.
Now obviously following all instructions and all i must have skipped something that is causing this..
Before flashing miui 1.6.17 i wiped everything and my SD card is setup for A2sd with the right partitions and extentions
Im running a CM7 HBoot if that matters.
If anyone has a clue please let me know here - im happy to provide any more information...cheers
Fixed: Guys if you ever get into the Messaging settings>Advanced>SMS Message Centre..don't change the default number stored there - i just called up my provider (Telstra) and they gave me the correct number to use and now everything is back to normal
Did you try to get the settings from your provider? You could try to reset them if you have got an account for the internet portal of your provider. You could also try to call them.
I don't know if you need special settings for every provider, but you can try this.

Thanks for the reply - phones here in AUS will normally get the settings as soon as you insert the SIM card but because i had deliberately messed with the sms message centre number i had to ring them to get that...your post got me thinking what i had changed and it just made sense
I'm pulling my hair out trying to fix this. I NEED this fixed NOW. I appreciate any and all quick replies.
I just installed CM nightly for my phone (the d2lte). Everything went fine, but I now have no service but with full bars according to the pulldown menu. It shows up with full bars but in orange.
My IMEI checks out and I still have a baseband. I couldn't find any APNs in my list, but when I tried creating one and saving, it doesn't show up in the list. I tried this about 5 times and it did not ever show up in the list. I tried rebooting and I still cannot create an APN.
I have no idea what to do. I cannot make calls. I had it working. I tried to create a Nandroid backup before and my phone rebooted near the end and would not boot, so I had to install another CM. I believe it had an error about not having a SIM card in before.
Please, please, please, please help me ASAP. I need this fixed. I cannot sleep until it is fixed.
EDIT: Fixed it before I saw any replies. I needed to flash a modem.
Are you running the latest modem and bootloader? I believe the latest cm needs kk modem and bootloader.
Hi all,
Am running a Galaxy S5 (klte) which I'd been using CM13 on without problem. I moved over to Lineage at the weekend - full factory reset, clear cache/Dalvik, use latest TWRP to install Lineage and re-install everything. So Saturday, Sunday, Monday everything fine. Then switch the phone off overnight (as I had done on the other nights) and switch back on this morning. The phone boots fine, no sign of any issues - but I don't get my usual "Enter your SIM PIN" screen, it boots straight to the desktop.
Can't access anything to do with phone functions and the signal icon sits as a triangle but hollow, a bit like when you get zero signal strength... it's not the SIM card with a line through it (no SIM card) icon, which is odd. Trying to access settings to select a network, or go for auto network detection draws a blank (can't access SIM card/network).
I've gone back into TWRP and cleared the cache and Dalvik again and the problem persists. I took the latest nightly (2017-02-13) and flashed that hoping it might fix it, but also no joy.
Any ideas without me having to factory reset the device and re-install everything again (pain!)
Thanks,

I had this before as well. I was able to fix it using the correct modem and bootloader software. After this, it worked fine until I did a restore with TWRP. All restored but the modem was not working. I discovered a ADB command to easily fix it but I lost the bookmark for this page. ATM I am looking for this command. Something like "ADB SHELL /AUTO ....."
If you find it, please post it here. I do as well.

Solved not solved
Well I've been playing around a bit more testing to find exactly what it is causing this issue.
It's system profiles. I use these extensively with triggers so my phone connects to my car, goes on vibrate at work etc. With system profiles active (whole menu turned on) the issue occurs. With the profiles off, it's resolved. It does matter how the profiles are configured (I tested with just 1 profile and all settings on "do not change").
So this is something for the Lineage OS team to look at and fix in a later build because as it stands system profiles are broken, at least for klte. Does anyone else have a different experience on their device and what device are you using?
Thanks! It worked!

In my case I only had to turn off the whole System Profiles general button.
Same for me
I have done exactly as the first post and my sim is also not working now when it was fine. I have a Galaxy s3 i9305 lte. It's just says no sim. I have Lineage 14.1 and have updated to the latest nightly. Any ideas how to get my sim working again?

On my S4 Mini LTE the profiles seem to sometimes stop the home button (long press) pulling up last apps used even though the button works fine as two quick presses gives me split screen. I think it's automotive profile that activates when it connects to my car Bluetooth that is the cause, but not sure as haven't had chance to pull a log.
Same here on Motorola Moto E XT1021, tried getting CyanogenMod 13, but all the mirrors are down and I don't feel like getting Android from not trusted source.
It's definitely a problem with the ROM because everything works fine on different ROMs, but on Lineage there is no SIM card detection at all and nothing seems to help.
I'm trying to get older Lineage ROM hoping it will work.
Consider removing and reassigning the PIN

What software was on the phone you first locked your SIM in?
Sometimes a SIM will respond to a config file that might be absent when you flash a new ROM.
If you can put your SIM in a different device that recognizes it, use that device to disable the PIN.
Then power down and eject it.
Then, re-insert it into the problem device to see if it works.
If it does, re-assign a PIN using that device.
Hey. Yeah that sounds like a good thing to try although I removed Lineage and have a stock KitKat rom now and works faultlessly. Still have root access and the s3 doesn't need a later version really. Tbh I would have been happy staying on kk if it wasn't for the tech industry moving forward with their software development! How dare they!

The trick with disabling the profiles works nicely on my Xperia T with the CM based Resurrection Remix ROM, android version 7.1.2.
XT has no main Profiles button, so i deleted all the profiles manually and restarted the phone. Now trying to find out which profile caused the problem.
.....
Made several new profiles, restarted the phone after each one, but the problem didn't turn back. I think it has issues only with the built-in profiles.
Thanks for the tip man!:good:
Single Sim Working Dual Sim Not
In my case when I remove both the sims and put in only one at a time regardless which slot or which sim it works but when I put two in together it doesn't, driving me to believe that the lineage is not supporting dual sim and is failing hence when both are inserted.
I am running Lineage OS 15 on my S7, and other than a few glitches, the SIM card issue is the only significant problem I have experienced. I have looked through the settings, and I found out that my baseband version is "Unknown." I tried flashing some files, in an attempt to fix it, but I still have no luck. I hope someone fixes this problem.
Hope this helps...

On the latest Lineage build, I was having the issue with it not reading my SIM, so here's what I did:
-clean install of lineageOS (wipe, install rom, install gapps, and install Kernel)
It wouldn't read my SIM at this point, so I
-factory reset
-installed LG G3 Tekcafe VS985-49A_stock (I'm sure any rom would have worked though)
-installed Lineage over top of this rom and wallah! everything works great!

No access to sim card contacts
Hi all, first sorry for my english, is not my home lenguage, i have an samsung galaxy s5 SM-G900T with custom room lineage-14.1-20180309-nightly-klte-signed.zip, all fine at the moment, except that i can't wiew my contacts stored in sim card and i can't save new contacts in the sim either, any body have a solution for this issue?. Regards.
It's gapps...
Hola!
I am experiencing the same issue and I relate it to the gapps.
The sim works perfectly fine with normal lineage OS. With gapps the sim doesn't work. Reproduced 3 times.
Hello, I'm using a Grand Prime SM-G530H phone with LineageOS 16.0, and here it says, no SIM card but I have a card running normally, I uninstalled Lineage and installed the stock rom, and it normally worked the SIM card, but when I installed it back Lineage continued the same error, what can be ???
My Galaxy S5 somehow detects a Sim Card which is not even inserted. The signal strength showed at the screen is the same as the wifi strength, but never at zero. But if I try to call someone it says no sim card detected. Of course boy there isn't. The problem is that inserting the sim card changes nothing. Same Problem. I switched from lineage to the original firmware back... HELP
