GPS is buggy in those 2.3 GB ROMs.
However one of them has it working fully (Gingervillain or latest Redux, I think).
But if you use it a lot stick with 2.2 ROMs.
Try another Radio or Kernel
tried all suggested but no luck.
Which CM7 build are you using? I had this problem with CM7 RC1 and RC2 but after I switched to RC3, GPS started to work.
GPS could be faulty. Flash the stock RUU, test again, and take it back if it still doesn't work.
Had this a couple of times before. I used fast reboot from the market to stop and start apps and processes worked a treat for me.
Make sure you disable GPS before you run the app. Hope it helps.
The thing is, that the GPS works fine when i get a GPS lock/fix.
But it takes so long to connect e.g 1-5mins.
My ZTE Blade has an instant 3-10sec lock every time.

navigon does not have maps for india.
I have the same problem. It was working fine on my stock rom 2.2 Upgraded to cm 7.1 stable, and now every other application works fine, but for Sygic Mobile maps 10. I was using an installer package.. Now, it wont load maps. However other gps applications like gps logger and Google maps works fine.
I badly want mapmyindia sygic maps to work on my phone.. any help?

Waze isn't that bad either. Quite a few people use it in my area so there are pretty good reports for radars, traffic etc.

Any suggestion? I am in europe. I try changing ntp server but little help if any...
Try GpsFix from the market, anytime I've had trouble with GPS it's always worked for me.

Hello seems that a lot of people have this problem in 7.1 release. I read a lot about how to fix it but nothing works on my DHD, Should I downgrade to the previous stable release of Cyanogen? Can someone recommend a rom that is good out of the box? Thanks
The GPS problem usually happens when the ROM is not properly flashed or flashed without Wiping data properly, You can use FasterFix and GPS status aps from market to test and see if you get any GPS signal.
I'm using RCmiX 4.0 Gingerbread 2.35 with sense 3.5, the GPS lock works good in this, previously I was using ARHD 6.3.1 This rom was locking GPS under 5 seconds for me [ When I was outside and there was a clear sky view ].
If you are going for any of these two above ROM make sure you Wipe data properly / Factory Data Reset.
Maybe the antenna contacts are oxidized (another very common DHD issue).

I never managed to get a good gps signal on cm 7, or a good (non-grainy) camera. I use it daily when running, keeping track by cardiotrainer. Tried everything i could find. Switched to ARHD; problem solved. I hope it will be fixed some time, i liked cm.
Yeah the gps is a problem with cm7. You can usually use faster fix, gps status and gps fix to get a lock, but then if you are using it for navigation or similar gps tracking apps, the lock is lost after a few minutes.
The solution is to quickly switch the gps on and off whilst in the application that requires the lock and after having gained a lock, and then it should stay locked for the duration of your journey or whatever you are using it for.
Hello,
I installed the touchwized version of the CM10.1 by cup_cake (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365885&page=11)
The ROM works great with the exception of the GPS which is now not working, if I use an app. to display the satellites available it will display 4 or 5 satellites but it will never get a fix.
Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks,
Can anybody help me with this please?....
I'm experiencing the same!
GPS was working fine with CM 7.2, but after installing a new CM 10.1 ROM the GPS fix takes literally ages, if it works at all. The Galaxy Nexus, for comparison, finds enough satellites for a fix within seconds, when the latest stock ROM (4.2.1) is installed.
Any ideas where to start?
I had the same issue on my Wildfire S running Owl Project's Jellybean CyanogenMod 10,1

GPS did not lock even after half an hour, it only drained battery. But I tried this thing:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447593)
One of these flashable ZIPs made the GPS find satellites. The coordinates it gives me are off about 200 kilometers from my actual location but at least it locked, at least there is some progress. I am still trying to figure out how to make GPS show me my actual location and not some asshole place I've never been to.
But some others said it worked like charm for them, maybe it will for you, too.
Hey Shisco!
Currently I'm using TopNTP (you can find it in the Play Store), an app from the thread opener of your link. It does the same as the zip files there, but gives you the option to adopt the gps.conf settings to your needs. Give it a try, because IMHO this app improves GPS a little bit.
Okay, the problem just disappeared by itself When on the move, more satellites appeared and GPS coordinates were now exact. The patch worked in the end I just had to give it some time
Same here, but it sometimes sucks to wait that long. Under CM 7 the GPS fix was much faster.
