Hey guys
I am running Cm 7.2 at the moment but i dont think the GPS works. On the stock rom when i activated the GPS the little satellite symbol would appear in the notification bar but now (even on 7.1) when i tap the GPS button, no symbol comes up so i was wondering if it worked or not?
you need to reflash the radio, then the gps should work!

I have no idea about the radio! its the only part i truly dont understand if you could tell me about it, i know people have had 4g by flashing some different radio but i really have no idea!!
Please help meee!
4g is not supported on our wildfire.
To flash a radio to the device you need to have cwm recovery 2.5 or below. 3+ wont work instantly.
Make sure your phone has enough battery!!
cmw 2.5.X or below:
Just flash the radio
I cant give you the url to a radio file. only by pm if you need it, and cant find it on xda.
cmw 3+
Flash first the attached file (update1) to get temporary cmw 2.5.X
Then flash the radio
Hazou
Hit the thanks if it worked
Open an app which actually uses GPS to see the GPS symbol on the status bar. Example - Google Maps. When an app is not using the GPS, no symbol will be shown.

Which ROM were you using prior to this?
This happened with me once. What worked for me was to flash a Sense-based ROM (RemPuzzle), turn on GPS, open app like Maps, set location, then DO NOT TURN OFF GPS and wipe and flash cm7.2 again. Your GPS will work this time.

Hm. Did you try what i said/
Hi, I'm having the same problem. Reflashing radio did not work.
It does show up on the status-bar after flashing radio, but doesn't really seem to work. No signal on co-pilot or GPS Status.
I had the same problem, dowloaded gps test from market, opened the app and gps on, then suddenly it worked.

Yes same happened with me, i opened Latitude and the GPS came on but thats the only time, after that it never came on again
Hello,
The GPS works correctly with CM 7.1 and CM 7.2.
After flashing the CM 7.2 zip file, you have to flash the gapps zip file.

it works with me normally.
I've tried all this, nothing works... faulty radio probably :/

Hi guys
After flashing my phone with leeDroid 2.2.0 I've noticed that my gps signal is very poor , to the point it has not connected yet. I upgraded my radio after flashing and its been poor since then. I've tried with Google maps and navigation and neither bondat. The used the agps function but that's all that works. Gps status from the market states 4 sats in about 20 seconds though.
Anyone got any tips or should I roll back the radio ?
Thanks guys
Im on 2.2.2 with latest radio and all good

Could it be that it was the first time you "activate" your GPS? First time will take longer than usual. After the first time, probably it may take 5 minutes or more, you will get a faster fix. Did you change your NTP server to your nearest one?
I am running 2.2.2 now and I get a lock within 5-15 seconds. in both situation moving(on the road) and not moving(static). at most it will take is 30 seconds but its rarely now.

Maybe you should try Faster fix and then tell us if you still got problems.
Faster Fix
Anyway, you should better update to Leedroids 2.2.2 and his new Kernel and maybe the advised radio 12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2 they work pretty fine.
having same problem...
using radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2, from leedroid page...flashed it twice.
I get no GPS signal...tried faster fix and set to north america as well. Any next steps?
Try a different radio.

Grab from RIL thread. Rils are flashed in recovery (unlike Radio).

OK, flashed correct .ril, after reflashing the radio. Ran Faster Fix
Let GPS sit for a while. had 12 sats used in fix, but no fix ever came through.
Any info on this?
ok, reverted to the radion .06.06 something or other and it works great. Thanks again for advice Mr_JMM
Hi boys, i'm in problems again... i think u can help, or maybe try, if u want, u know.
Well, i don't remeber when, but suddenly gps stop works for me, or if it works, very very very inexact, for example, precision about 1000m... or maps says "ur location is unaivable", i'd try sense 3.5 roms, sense 3.0 roms, cm7 roms, o2 roms, now i'm with miui and still have the problem.
My phone drops accidentaly a few times, and before that, i'd try aGPS fix... but i don't know what's the problem... well, anyone have idea?
thanks!!!
PS: now with MIUI, maps says "ur loc is unaivable" and every app that uses location loop at "getting loc"... doesn't work.

I had a problem where my GPS refused to start (the blinking 'waiting for GPS lock' icon didn't come on) and flashing the patch in recovery worked perfectly. I now have perfect GPS, and have managed to find up to 12 satellites concurrently.

I have a similar problem, my GPS can't find any satelite. I'm using ICS 0.7 and tried with and without aGPS Fix. GPS Status doesn't do anything, it also doesn't find any satelite at all.

ohhh, and what do u think about this? anyone know about a fix or cause of this prob? i dont feel alone at all right nao... see ya
I had the same problem, GPS turns on but it can't find any satellites. I got it fixed under warranty. I think they changed the gps antenna cable, if I remember right. I was changing roms back and forth trying to figure out the cause, but it was a hardware problem.
You can try changing your radio version.

and do u unroot/unrecovery ur phone? ****, it seems like a real trouble
i think i'm gonna explode my phone and take new one from my comp, stock the phone again seems really really heavy
I just flashed the alpharev hboot downgrader, and then the stock 2.2 PB99IMG.zip found here from some sticky. All from recovery and that's it. I read that you should use the stock 2.3 image, so that you wouldn't lose your warranty, but my phone was unbranded, so I guess it didn't matter.
So I opened the phone today and dis- and reconnected the GPS antenna cable (the cable on the left). Didn't do anything though.
I'm using 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23

(trying to stock it, i've bootlooped and lost my recovery/root, i'm a ****ing idiot )
Install official HTC 2.3 update, it doesn't void your warranty.

My Nitro HD's GPS stopped working after flashing to the latest V20C ICS ROM via CWM. I did a factory reset, etc before flashing.
When I try to use the navigation app, I cannot get a GPS lock, even if wifi, gps are both turned on. With the CM9 RC2 ROM I was able to get GPS lock every time in less than 30 seconds.
Is there a fix?

Have you tried rebooting the phone with GPS on? Try doing so. Turn on your GPS n your WiFi off, reboot the phone n see if u can get a lock on the gps. If that doesn't work either, try using an app called GPS status. It helps speed up locking with the satellites by downloading the updated GPS data.

Using Fasterfix (requires Busybox) fixed it for me
hey guys
I recently purchased a used galaxy nexus and as soon as i got it i rooted it and headed to xda to see whats fresh.
After flashing and all that i tried to use GPS but sadly there was no satellite present so there could be no lock or anything
So I flashed another rom and still the same
So I went to stock image 4.2.2 still no satellite was found by my phone
I have look alot of places some say just turn off and turn on the location but that doesnt help either
Can you guys please help me
Right now I am running Rootool box the stable version with fancy kernal.
When i turn on gps... in the status bar it says searching for gps forever.... and the gps icon keeps on blinking.
Thank you
Have you changes Radio baseband?
If not then change it and maybe then GPS works!
GPS and radios have nothing to do with each other.
Does everything else work ok, like phone and data? Is the phone activated and have a good sim? Are you using the gps outside with a clear view of the sky? Have you waited up to 20 minutes for satellite acquisition?
If you answer yes to all the above, try downloading gps status app and use that to download new agps data. See if that works. If not, sounds like you may have a hardware issue.

I downloaded the gps status toolbox app and i did press download agps data but nothing still

if this is a hard ware problem should i talk to samsung and ask them to fix it?
Your last hope would be to restore a factory image again and see if that helps. Otherwise, Samsung would be your best bet

should i go to 4.0 build the earliest or 4.2.2?
i had similar problem (no gps) when i tried to force OTA ( i think 4.1.1?) deleting the GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK
i GOT the ota
but after it started i never catched a gps signal
tried to reset but nothing
i had to manually reinstall from fastboot ( but i was on stock at that time.... dunno if using a modded recovery is SAME thing or it leaves some file behind)
hope it works....

I Installed back the Stock ROM Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_India_2.25.720.1-dannejo.zip and also flashed its Kernel to InfinityPLAY
but now, my wifi is not working, it keeps on SCANNING..
Even tried to FLash the Radio to Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10
but nothing working !
So things not working are:
1) WIFI
2) HOTSPOT
3) GPS
4) Bluetooth
Prior to this, tried Cyanogen 7.2 and 9.1 mini ! but didn't liked them as compared to Stock ROM.
though 9.1 had Hotspot n GPS issues!
so someone, suggest a solution !

Has to be a radio problem. Maybe you didnt flashed it correctly. Just flash it a 2nd time and search a guide on xda how to do it
Only GPS not working fine

yeah bud, i know, it has something 2 do with Radio.
I once again, did flashed my Stock ROM but this time i wiped each and everything.!
Now Wifi, Bluetooth, n Hotspot are working, but Except for GPS
GPS still shows location on the basis of Network, not GPS satellites
So the only thing left is GPS !
now what else can i do to solve it?
and I even wish to change it Kernel, to OverClock it..! suggest me a stable one!
