Can't get GPS lock on GB - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I was on CM7 and could not get a GPS at all. Tried DW2.6 and could not get a lock either, even with the GPS patch and standing outside. I may have seen fixes for this issue a while ago but can't find them for the life of me

[Q]CM7 geolocation issue

Hey all. So I live in Milford CT, yet no matter what I do, the location features of this phone continue to put me in Mastic, NY. When I use my GPS on Maps, everything is fine. But all of the apps and websites (Google, Facebook, Beautiful Widgets, etc...) keep determining my location incorrectly. I searched on Google and out here, but not having any luck. Any thoughts? Anyone else found a fix for this, outside of manually setting location?

Those of you who it worked for: did you clear caches or do anything special after flashing? I'm still getting the same "Bluetooth turning off..." message in the bt settings page, and I'm unable to turn it back on without a reboot.

i cleared Cache And dalvik Because i was updating CM10.1 and it worked perfectly for me.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong...I guess I could never turn off bt...if I do then I turn it on then it tries to turn on then off and then I have to reboot...tried everything...if I don't turn it off then I'm fine.....

On AoKP 4.2.2 I can connect to my MOGA controller with no hitch.. However it usually fails when I connect to the uvo system in my car.. But connects fine after a reboot..
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I can connect and play just fine but the quality is crap... wonder if this will fix that?
If you installed this patch delete all your devices and then turn bt on and off and see if it works...if it does cause that finally worked for me then add your devices one by one to see which one is compatible or not

I don't know if this will help, but I couldn't get BT to turn on, so I did some looking around and found a post that said to delete Pandora. So I deleted Pandora and rebooted, BT's been working for 2 days now no problems

Many thanks! I flashed this to CM 10.1 RC5a - had been having BT issues with it crashing or not being able to start for months.
Before flashing, I cleared Dalvik/Cache, flashed, fix permissions - after reboot, started BT and deleted all devices.
36 hours on it, no problems with car BT audio, no crashes.
Does a2dp work for anyone on cm10.1?

I fixed my blue roof problem by just going up there and painting the entire sucker red. Boom! Problem solved and haven't had an issue since. Sorry @PJcastaldo just had to do it. Couldn't help myself. :silly:
Did you ever get this sorted out? Have a friend with the same issue.

Try restoring with Odin to stock unrooted or flash a ROM to see if that works it might be some corrupt files or your WiFi radio just decided to go bad

Sprint connection optimizer

I deleted the sprint connection optimizer from my phone and am now getting download speeds of about 1Mbps whereas before I was getting 150-200Kbps. It might just be me but worth trying out if you are rooted.

And unlocked. You can't remove apps unless unlocked. Or you end up in a boot loop.

I always remove it first thing on any ROM. Even on my GS3. It took up so much battery by itself by turning my wifi on and off and messing with my data.
So once rooted and bootloader unlocked would I just go to system/app and delete what? Is it the WiFiOffLoad.apk and the WiFiOffLoad.odex? Thanks

Has anyone tried it with a locked boot loader? I know removing Google and LG stuff causes Security error on boot, but I have frozen sprint apps no problem

Is there any merit to this? How is deleting C.O. making your download speeds faster?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Whether or not this works for anyone else or why it works for me is unknown. All I know is that before and after the deletion my download speeds increased. Whether or not it coincided with a network improvement that is causing my speed increase I don't know.
I have compared my results with a friend with the same phone but is completely stock and my download speeds are significantly more than his.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Well it doesn't hurt to try. I'll check if it does anything to my speeds and report back.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I'm not sure if it's a fluke but it does seem that I am getting better download speeds. Top 2 scores are with C.O. uninstalled and bottom 2 are with C.O. Installed. Maybe you are onto something. I'll perform more tests later on since there isn't sufficient data to prove this yet.
Edit: Before I tested with/without C.O, I updated the PRL. Both internal/external IPs were different. No speed changes were seen without updating PRL with/without C.O. I doubt removing C.O does anything to increase speeds.

If anything the connection optimizer is annoying and deleting it does clear up some resources.

Is your question, can you leave this off? Or on?
You're taking about the setting in the Hidden Menu?
Someone else posted something about this, their name started with a"C" I believe.
Anyway, mine is turned off and has been since that other post. I don't really think it did much for my battery life.

If i can leave it on because i love my antutu score of 21000 and my brightness issue and my bateery life has been good i tether alot but the phone stays right around 102 im going to do a full bateery test with it today but i just wanna know is it gunna kill my phone having it on at all times

So here's the thread it was originally brought up on. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2328478
I remember my issues with it. I'm outside a lot and the phone will autodim down to 67% making it unreadable in sunlight. When I used this setting, I worked great outside but the screen would do some weird things when I left it on all the time. But I think it was conflicting with the autobrightness. It probably does make your phone run hotter as the cpu and the display won't be using any temperature regulation. And the Display has always been an issue on stock.
Yea i readthat one allready i just need some to giv reassurance that its beeb thoroughly tested
