I'be been running cyanogenmod 7 on my Evo and have been experiencing GPS issues from the start. I turn on GPS and open Google maps and it rarely tracks my position correctly. So of course I can't really use the navigation app because of this. When I revert back to my stock rooted rom I don't have this issue. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is there a way to fix this?

Ummm yea. This is one of the biggest issues with cm7 from the start, and it's on the first post of every thread about this rom.
Is there a way to fix this?

Have you read any of the information about the rom? There are a few things, including the flashing sense rom ##gpsclrx# trick, but most of the time that only helps temporarily. If you want fully working gps, flash a rom other than cm7.
Wow I guess I really missed that point. And I guess videos I have seen incorrectly stated everything works.
Thanks for the answer

First of all I'm on AOKP 715 m6. My gps was nonexistent even though it was good on earlier versions. I was running a modded vle radio which i don't remember the source. Anyways, i flashed tdj's modded vle radio in one of his threads and gps initial locked on in less than 5 mins. It then locks on in less than a min after that.
At first i thought it was the kernel, so i flashed different ones, but no changes. however the radio definitely fixed it for me on AOKP.
So to those with gps problems try flashing tdj's modded radios. Sorry for being lazy on my phone and not linking them.

This was discussed months ago. Its the basic reason modded radios were made. Apparently the RILS break GPS. So yes GPS won't work unless you flash one of the modded radios, as you found out by accident lol.

I am not using a modded radio I am using the one that came with the ics official update uvle1. And I am running AOKP M6 7-15. My GPS is the best it has ever been I get instant locks even indoors. And It is accurate too. I have also used other roms and had the same results.

yeah i remembered that discussion, and I flashed a modded radio and it worked for most ROMs. I was then really bothered that my uber great locking GPS was no more... I seriously thought I flashed TDJ's radio because I had a file with the same name in my sd card. So I was bummed and decided to test kernels because thats like testing 2 things at once lol. But yeah I ended up checking the md5 of the modded radio i had on my sd card and it turns out it wasn't the same. Must have gotten it from a different thread even though the file name was the same.
But yeah it's just a little reminder to those who have GPS problems, that even though you may think you have a perfectly working radio... you should just flash TDJ's radio mods just in case.
Just flashed TDJ's modded UCLE1 radio...still no luck with GPS

What do you guys mean when you say "breaks GPS"? I am trying to determine if my problem is similar to yours.
My problem is not really an issue with the GPS but an issue with Google Maps. When I use navigation from point A to point B, say Schaumburg to Chicago, it'll always speak directions as if it's going from point B to point A, although all the on-screen directions are correct.
I uninstalled the app and reinstalled, but have not yet tested to see if that fixed it.

Yes this is what I have to do every time I flash a ROM and GPS breaks. I made a thread about it and there are also 2 more threads. Its a zip file you flash through cwm. Also people don't forget that if you're on cyanogenmod that you have to go into location services, GPS source and tick "use internal GPS". Or else GPS will barely work.

didn't know he had a ucle1 radio, he has a uvle1 radio though maybe try that one.
If it is the first time you're trying to lock on, it might take a while, you should turn off wifi and data while leaving your GPS on. Stand outside with it on for 5-10 mins or so, it should get a lock on. After that your GPS locks quicker the more frequent you use it.
I think a lot of people would expect GPS to lock on right away, this only happens if your phone has recent locks to the GPS. I find it best with wifi and data off and to just leave the gps on and google maps on.
btw i've tried the AGPS patch before, but if you have a crappy radio it still won't connect lol.
Here's the screenshot without data or wifi. This is inside my house. Notice the gps signal has a constant dot in the middle, i know for aokp this means i have locked on.probably the same for cm, not sure about tw, haven't been on that for a month.
Anyways it has went as low as 4m, so pretty good. This is without apply the patch.

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has run into this glitch: Randomly my phone will register all touch input (as well as the home button) as long pressing. I end up having to restart my phone in order to clear the glitch. I've encountered it on several different 4.2.2 ROMs.
Any thoughts on what to do to fix this?
Edit: Of course right after I hit post I find the thread that lists the long press glitch here's the link incase anyone else can't find it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085171(10.1
It's a fairly well known problem on all 4.2.x ROMs. No known fix beyond rebooting as a temporary fix.

radio or maybe kernel issues, one or the other. Have you tried flashing a diff radio and/or kernel? So you did the full wipe yaw but have you tried another rom worst case? I have had odd issues with some roms that I don't come across in forums. Hope this helps
There is a wifi issue thread.
Look for similar problems in that thread.

I looked into that giant thread but the issues seems different.. Anyway, don't even know what's a "radio". The rom I got before worked just fine
Also which kernel should I try? Omega uses XXDMB2
Anyine been having issues with this rom. Windering if its a fluke or something actually wrong. Been having random lockups, browser freezes, and app crashes with ths rom.

I have the same issues that you... since install the v10 and my S3 is also slow .. I like the version v10 .. but i had to return to v9.1
Haven't tried any version other than 10, but will give it a shot. Now that I think about it my s3 is kinda slow. Thanks for the idea!

Have you read thru the rom thread? If its a rom issue others surely will have reported it.
Otherwise it may have more to do with the flashing method you may have used than with the rom itself.

Only a few problems here!
I've been using Wicked since ICS days with very few problems. Had an issue with Bluetooth that was resolved by wiping and reflashing the ROM back on ICS.
Since switching to Jelly Bean, about the only issue I've had is S Beam and/or Wi-Fi Direct connection/file sharing. In the two cases I've had, a dirty flash has fixed the problem.
Other than that, the ROM has been great for me!
Good Luck!

LMT Stopped working
I have been using Wicked Rom v_9.1 for about three months with NO problems. All of a sudden LMT service stopped working. The pops up. Unfortunately LMT has stopped working. So I see that V10 is out so I Flasj V10 the proper way thinking that would take care of the problem. NOPE same thing happened. Any ideals?

How in GOD'S name do I do that? I was under the impression that when I flashed a new rom that would have cleared out everything.
Its an option during flash. Or boot recovery and factory reset.

Are you restoring data or any backups?
Have you searched in or asked in the rom thread to see if its a common or known issue?
I think someone else had a similar problem. (Isnt lmt related to some app called pie?) If so uninstall and reinstall the app.
Otherwise, try clearing data for lmt and force stop. Then reboot and see if it still acts up.

I'm personally glad you started this thread. Because of my low post count, I can't post in that forum.
I've only been using this rom for a couple days and I love it. The only problem I've had was that I can't seem to get the Awsome Beats to do anything. Changing the settings doesn't seem to make any noticeable difference in sound quality. I know it's not a big deal but I think it would be a cool thing to have since I use my phone to listen to music almost as much as I use it to communicate.
I'll admit that I didn't read through the 1000+ pages but I did do a search of the thread and didn't come up with anything.
Oh, I'm using the stock Samsung music player, Songbird and Pandora to listen to music.
Stock kernal as well.

I just don't get it partner. I've reinstalled the rom twice. Even flashed a different rom. Same issue. I will continue to look around to find the problem. Thanx for your help
The past week I have been away from WiFi and noticed that my phone will disconnect from the network and not reconnect. It seems to happen randomly. I am on the latest xenon HD for toro plus.
If I flash a different kernel would it help fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated

Look at kmsg/dmesg and logcat to try and see whats happening, forward those logs to your ROM dev. Try to give something back.
I don't have access to a computer to do a log cat. Why I'm asking because I can down load stuff from WiFi to fix it.

You are rooted... At least you can get kmsg.
At the very least, you need to work on the description of your issue - "I have been away from WiFi" doesn't tell me anything.
So, what are you having issues with? Mobile network stability?
Check your bootloader/radio, RIL/baseband combos (you should be on whatever latest bootloader version there is, RIL/baseband must match)
Does the kernel you use alter stock voltages? Make sure SR (smart reflex) is active and try again. If SR is already on, try to disable it, and work on the voltages yourself, although I'm not sure you will be able to troubleshoot all this with your current knowledge (estimated from the way you opened this thread). This is the only way kernel may be afecting anything here.
RIL/baseband are kernel independent.
It's not good principle if something's broken/not working already, to start flashing more stuff on top of it - look around you: does anyone on that ROM thread experiences the same issue recently, or is it just you?
