My GPS in miui doesn't work,even after I use GPS test to clear and update GPS. I have 29 modem should I try different modem?
I'm on the EL26 modem with the latest build of MIUI and the GPS is also having an issue locking my location.

Ok, I had the same problem when I first flashed MIUI, but people in MIUI thread told me to backup my MIUI, then restore to your touchwiz rom and get a GPS lock. As soon as you have a lock, then restore back to MIUI, without wiping cache or dalvik cache. That's the key. Try the GPS then. It locked immediately for me.

I've had similar problems. There's a rain dance or two I've seen people post but I haven't gotten around to it since GPS isn't hugely important for me right now.
Some say to flash "TW" first.

Hey whats up guys...im really not sure what the problem is but maybe some one has experienced with before..
My droid incredible cannot connect to 3g service...i tried installing all different kinds of roms even the latest gingerbread releases but still nothing.
Some times i allows me to connect to 1x but then you see the "3g" on the top but then it instantly disconnects.
Ive so tried 3 different radio from the NIS business sense release...all failed..
Any ideas?!?!?
Or if i just need the stock radio??
Aloha! I'll see if I can help.
1) Do a nandroid backup in recovery.
2) Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache then flash rmk40's gingersense leak: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087077
3) Reboot and skip set up. Turn on 3G and even test it out for a bit. You should have whatever signal you are used to having return.
4) reboot into recovery and wipe cache, then go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache
5) Restore your latest Nandroid backup
Let me know how this works.

How would this fix any 3g issues by flashing a new rom and then returning to you old Rom with a backup? I seem to have an issue changing from 1X to 3g causing me to restart my phone at times to pick up the 3g signal again.
Primarily, the people who noticed this issue were/are folks who try out the various gingersense roms available. I've been a member of XDA since January and haven't noticed users in large numbers have issues with 3G until these roms came out. Whether it's due to there not being an official base or what, idk but many users have had these issues with 3G since the May unofficial gingersense leaks:
1) 3G being present and fully functional then disappearing from the notification bar altogether even while still being enabled in Settings
2) 3G signal dropping down to 1x and not displaying again until you perform a reboot.
I have experienced this issue and know this resolved it. This rom as well as Incubus26jc or JoelZ's stock OTA gingersense leak, for whatever reason, are a solution to resolve the 3g drop issue not the only solution. Incubus26jc, JoelZ, and Nils each have recommended and note this is a fix. My (non-fact and own) answer to you would be I believe since these three roms are the unaltered and "(un)official gingerbread Sense" files, they recorrect the 3G signal that is going awry.
Try it and let me know how this works. You don't stand to lose anything except a few minutes haha
This solution fixed my problem.
Dang it actually worked. Wish i had done this a while back. Thanks for the simple fix.
Not a problem, I'm just thankful there's a fix.
Accidentally worked for me too
I had the same problem on CM7. Flashing back to my stock 2.2 Android backup fixed the problem. Flashing back to CM7 and OMGB caused the problem to return. I am on the leaked ota now, I have flashed the gingerbread radio, and I am having no 3g issues. I wish that I had found this thread earlier.
Had this exact issue with synergy rls1 and was also told to flash the rom above to fix it. It worked for awile but then 3g issues would return again, even on non sense 3 roms and even on my old virtuous nandroid. If just flashing the above rom works for you and permanetly fixes it thats cool, but if your like me the only fix is to revert back to compleet stock and i mean compleet stock rom radio recovery boot img everything the only thing not stock would be you still want to have s-off as a matter of fact make sure to check you are s-off before going stock. Once stock you need to do a factory reset from the settings menu. What this does is it compleetley wipes your phone back to stock including wiping vzw programing, wich is the key to fixing 3g. Once your phone reboots from the factory reset you will be prompted to dial *228 option 1 to reprogram your phone. Once reprogramed your 3g will be fixed. From there flash clock work or amon ra recovery and then restore your favorite nandroid or install a new rom. I personaly would stay away from sense 3 roms as after fixing mine with the above steps i not thinking installed another sense 3 rom and broke 3g again making me fix it all over again. I have stayed away from sense 3 and havent had any problems since. Note if you have a compleete stock nandroid you can just flash that then flash stock recovery and radio do the factory reset .....

Well this is why Android is all about choice.
Well, I tried to install rmk's rom and that didn't work. I also tried to go back to stock with the RUU and the PB31IMG.zip file to do a factory reset, but that didn't work either. Are there any other suggestions that I can try?

If an ruu and a factory reset with new programing didn't fix your 3g issue its possibly hardware related. Can you still connect at 1x speed?

No, I called Big Red and they're sending out a replacement phone. I'm one of them weird people that don't use their phone as a phone too much, but I realized that I couldn't make or receive phone calls or texts either. We got that issue fixed, but they couldn't get the data working.
I guess the world of root is gone for me since it will probably come with Gingerbread on it already. Oh well, I'm probably going to buy a new phone in December anyway, so I'll have a new Dinc to put away in the drawer.

Looks like they are sending me a Rezound...JK. Actually, it looks like they are sending me an OG Incredible. I'll know more tomorrow and will let you know.
Thanks for the link to the root method. I have been studying it and I have all the files downloaded just waiting.
Edit: I did get an OG Incredible, but it came with Froyo on it. I should be good to go as far as rooting it goes. I think that I have an SLCD model though which sucks.
So I recently installed MIUI, and as soon as I did my Wifi radio stopped working. Every time I try to switch it, it turns back off and says "error."
I figured this was a problem with my radio (26.02.01.15_M2) when I found another irksome problem. When I go to flash PC10IMG.zip the bootloader gets to "Checking PC10IMG.zip) and then quits and refuses to attempt the update.
Any ideas?
I apologize if this question has been asked, but I couldn't find anything similar in the short search I did.
Thanks in advance!
Could be a bad download? Which Radio are you trying to flash?
Download the radio from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
Dont know what ROM you are running but Vision_Radio_12.52. 60.25_26.08.04.30 seems to be a good one,download the attached file for wiping the EFS(Important when flashing radios)
The link has further instructions and information,hope that helps
Hey, thanks for your response! I actually tried three different Radios from that thread (the first three), and none of them worked. I ran an efs wipe yesterday because I was having GPS problems, and these problems persisted after that...
FWIW, when I flash other kernels/ROMs, things work fine (CM7, PyroMod, Stock) but on MIUI these problems crop up.

Do you mean you can update the radio with other ROMs or do you mean that the wifi problem is only on MIUI?If your problem is only with MIUI cant help as I dont use that ROM but still doesnt explain your problem with flashing a radio as the bootloader is independent of the ROM
I think the wifi radio and the cellular radio are different and when you flash the radio firmware, it only updates the cellular radio firmware. Someone more knowledgable than me will probably correct me. It's probably something screwy with the MIUI roms which is effecting you. If you want to use MIUI then try one of the other MIUI roms that are out there and also notify the developer of the MIUI rom your using about your issue.
I hate the recent radios for G2 latest one from Bell sucks. Signal drops every few seconds, data connection is just OK. Very disappointed. I did the efs wipe and auto ril matcher V6 and all this other bs and I hate it.

Yep, yet another GPS issue.
I flashed a few JB roms with correct modems and all was well (had good GPS lock). Went back to ICS for the batti life. Flashed a new ICS modem, and ROM - no GPS lock. Flashed multiple ICS modems - no GPS lock. Used multiple "GPS fix" recommendations from XDA - no GPS lock. Flashed multiple ICS roms - no GPS lock. Flashed stock FF18 - no GPS lock with stock. Flashed stock FI27 - no GPS lock
Just wondering if it has something to do with going from JB than back to ICS??? or if anyone else has had issues coming from JB to ICS too?
I'm in the same boat and have really been working on this for a couple of weeks too. I've also tried every application and .conf mod there is. Tried going back to an ICS ROM too and got the same thing - no GPS except in Google maps.
What happens for me is that I can get what appears to be a good lock (ONLY with Google Maps and NOT any other of the 6 applications I've tried!) but then after some time I get the 'searching for GPS location' thingy. To stop this I have to long press on that notification/App Info then force close the UI. And of course loose my wallpaper. OR simply reboot.
It sucks 'cause' up till this point I"ve never really had any issues at all.
I'm going to make one last attempt over the next few days. Going to PC Odin EL29 stock rooted check GPS. Then PC Odin Stock FF18 again check GPS. Then PC Odin FL16 and check there too.
I suspect it has something to do with the /preload and partition changes with JB. I do know that TD just put up a new FormatAllX2 he's created for JB ROMs. That may help for tose of us moving between ROMs. I'll check that out first.
But I don't know yet.
Really don't like having to spend the whole day, or more restoring all my settings and stuff but I guess it's necessary now that I can't reliably use my navigation on which I actually depend.
Hopefully someone with way more knowledge can jump in.

Honestly I think it is something hardware related. I used to have a SGS1 and it had the same flaky GPS. Some fixes would work, most wouldn't but if they did they didn't last long and it would be back to the drawing board.

Tried the new JB format allx2----no luck
and i agree, may have something to do with the preload...have not tried going back to JB yet to see if GPS locks there...may try tonight
Full flash of JB with modem... No lock there now... Damn!
I've read that it's a hardware issue on a previous post. It's tough getting a GPS lock from JB to ICS. As well as ICS to ICS. Or JB to JB.
The only solution to this for me was Mobile Odin Kernel Flash EL26 safe recovery. While in recovery wipe cache x3s, wipe dalvik x3s, format user data x3s.
Then flash whatever you are looking for. Immediately open Maps. With 3G and GPS ON. Locate and lock.
Or simply get a nandroid of a working EL26 GB ROM and flash it before you flash the ROM you want even if it's a nan(GB)droid to nan(JB)droid.

I'm not sure what happened but at some point a month or so ago my GPS stopped working on my phone. Using google maps is uesless and it keeps losing gps signal and cannot find where I'm at.
I've tried a full wipe and insall of the latest CM11, changing to different modems, wiping cache and nothing seems to help. I'm very frustrated as for work I need GPS. Please help me!
Can you get a GPS lock when using a stock ROM?
No it will figure out where im at initially but when I move it does not move and track me even on stock 4.1 cdlk3 Modem
You were running CM11 with an LK3 modem? I read other posts where people were having problems getting data with the 4.1 modem and CM11.
No I was running cm11 but went to stock last night. Im on 4.1 with lk3 modem and it cannot locate me or track.
Is there a utilty to completely wipe the phone and put it stock or id there something else I can do?
I thought the latest version of CM11 required the latest bootloader and modem.
What bootloader is on your phone?

Have you tried an app like GPS status to reset and re-download GPS data. I've had that fix issues in the past for me. Also I've heard the screws on the back of the phone may get loose and negatively affect the GPS so you could try tightening them(gently).
Yup I tried a couple programs and nothing pics up a gps signal whether outside or in a car.
Is the gps linked to the modem?
This should solve any GPS issues.

I found a backup from back in april and flashed it just to see if it fixed it. GPS lock worked great so something in the wipe/flash/radio combo got screwed up.
A week ago I dropped my phone and the lcd screen broke but I figured i'd update the thread in case someone else has issues
Thanks for the help guys the apps were awesome!
It used to work but just noticed today it isn't any more. GPS will still find me, but it won't travel along with me in google maps and none of the satellites lock on using GPS toolbox. It shows 20 or more satellites available but none lock. If I do a search for nearby places it gets it right every time but it won't lock on to any satellites. I am rooted, I tried changing the rom and even loading a fully stock one and it still isn't working. I don't get how some of this stuff will work but I can't get any full lock.
Is this likely a device issue or something that I can fix?
I am also having this issue with my Pixel (non XL). Next weekend I will try and reset the device but I have had this issue for a few months now. I am not sure if it's software or a hardware problem.

Did you change kernels as well.
Way back in the day I had an issue like you described and the only way to resolve was to restore backup in which gps worked.
Then fire up phone confirm GPS lock. Then do all the flashing.
The only solution I ever knew to this issue was to restore a backup or start over from factory images.

Yeah I changed the kernel. I tried completely unrooting and flashing a fully stock roms (March and April ROM) then reflashing the rooted rom I'm on (pure nexus) and even a non stock kernel (ElementalX) and it still won't lock.

I assuming no back up then if you didnt restore that.
In my experience i dont recall flashing the stock rom alone enough to undo the change to the kernel that screwed up GPS.
It wouldnt lock on stock rom?
try flashing stock kernel by itself maybe?

Hey,
Flashing stock firmware actually includes the stock Kernel by the way. :good:
Cheers...
It didn't lock on any of the stock roms I flashed (which as user 5.1 stated included the stock kernel) but it used to work fine before on stock roms and even on pure nexus at one time. Not sure what happened or why it just stopped locking onto satellites.

Hey,
I don't think it will fix it, since several ROMs didn't... But did you try reverting to an older version which used to work. You likely did it already. Just in case you didn't...
Otherwise you may try contacting Google or whom you bought your device, report your issue and see if they are already aware of the situation with others users maybe? As it sounds like a hardware issue...
