Hi All, i cannot post in the developer section of Xperia Ion, as I am a noob, so am posting this here..
I love CM10, but for me there is no GPS Lock. It constantly says Searching for GPS when an app requests GPS data (like google maps etc..).
I have tried the other usual tricks of turning GPS off/on, off/reboot/on etc.. but nothing. I downloaded GPS Test, and it is picking up 16 satelites, but apparently '0' are in use by the phone, which leads me to believe the GPS should be working, but due to a software problem it cannot lock on (not hardware problem). I have found a few threads on other phones running CM10 that have a similar problem, but nobody with an Xperia let alone Xperia ion has this problem or has spoken about it.
Could someone post this question in the developer forum please? Or alternatively just answer here if you haev any tips or tricks?
Thanks a lot in advance

I am opening a new thread because nobody replied to the gps issue some people have after flashing the Daxian t32 gps version phone with the "Dixian_x999_T32.zip" file.
(forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-390574.html)
Does anybody know how to activate the internal gps?
Does anybody have a rom that works with the gps version of that phone? - That would be great!
I tried several gps drivers (gpsmod and others) and none worked. I tried some standalone applications to talk to the gps as well as TomTom7 and google maps and none worked.
Somehow the gps connects to the satellite and gets the correct time stamp (TomTom with gpsmod driver) but it does not get any coordinates.
Is there a missing entry in the registry that activates the gps?
Help is appreciated, somone has to know how!

Hi guys,
I am having problems with an Xperia Play R800i... The handset is currently running 2.3.4 but the same problem was present on 2.3.3 prior to updating the handset. I apologize if this has been covered before.
The problem is that the handset does not seem to pick up a wifi signal whatsoever. I have tested with several different routers as well as trying several different types of network (open, shared, WPA, WEP etc). I have also installed wifix manager but this has not helped.
The handset also cannot utilize the bluetooth.
I have since taken the handset apart to check for any loose connections and was very surprised to see that there is a "burn" on the inside of the casing behind the screen (near the sim slot) and there is also a burn on what looks like the wifi/bluetooth antenna.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same or similar issues? and also wonder if the burn is causing the problems with the wifi?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I know that this would be better posted to one of the development forums but (new member) can't post there...
anyway, I have the captivate glide and I recently installed literom from the greater good. Anyway, I'm running into some bluetooth issues and I was wondering if anyone has had any similiar issues? The forum for that rom does not mention the issues that I'm having (at least not that I found).
Basically, my bluetooth works fine. As long as I don't reboot my phone. Any time I reboot, my pairing information is lost for any devices I had. I can scan for devices, but when I try and connect, it says invalid pin or connection refused. If I run through the pairing procedure again, it works until the next reboot.
Anyone have any ideas for me? I like this rom and don't want to re-image it with something else... my bluetooth worked fine on the last rom I had installed (but nothing else did pretty much, which is why I reimaged it)...
sorry for throwing this out in the general forum, but to be honest I'm not 100% sure that my issues are related to this ROM just mostly sure... anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello everyone!
I'm new to this forum thing, but I'd appreciate to get your opinions and/or help if possible.
I have a rooted the phone.
Now, when using Google Maps Navigation, be it while in my car (HTC Car on HTC rack), or when walking, biking..., usually you can get your position just with the GPS turned on, no mobile network or Wi-fi.
This is my story, my problem, and it's really starting to annoy me.
So please, you good people here in the XDA-forums, anyone of you guys had/has a similar problem or even a solution?
Thank you all, and may the force be with you, Android, always!
Hi @Ohad179,
Welcome to XDA, enjoy your stay.
On to your issue, I think in your haste to tell us about your problem, you didn't tell us about your problem.
Are you saying that you don't get a GPS fix when you don't have any cell coverage? Same with WiFi?
It almost sounds like your enabling "Airplane Mode", which in turn will turn the radios off and presumably GPS. I don't remember it doing that when I had my One X, GPS is purely a passive system and shouldn't be affected by "Airplane Mode"
Are you able to more accurately describe your issue, and provide anymore details about your phone? I.e. ROM, Version, etc...
Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum, but I have read along here for a long time now and it has really been helpful for me. Thanks for that.
To my problem:
I own a ZL (6503) and I like it very much, but the GPS does not work and the camera doesn't focus anymore. The GPS can't find a sattelite, regardless how long it searches. I sent it to repair with this problem like 5 times, but it still doesn't work. In addition two months ago, the camera started to not focus anymore. I sent it to repair with this problem too and they said its working, which it doesn't. I have tried all kinds of software changes like factory reset multiple times and flashing cyanogenmod, but the problems still exists.
Now two days ago, the two year guarantee voided, and I decided to try to repair it by myself, if possible. Does anyone know, which part I have to change if I want the GPS to function again? And does someone know a good source for spare parts? I only find parts for the Xperia Z. Are those the same parts? If not for the GPS, then for the camera perhaps?
Thank you in advance.

Ok I found a website called "parts4mobiles.com". Does anyone know this site and ordered something there?
I found the camera part and something called "Loudspeaker Ringer Module". It says in the description "with antenna". Is this the part where the GPS module is?
Sry I would have posted links, but unfortunately I have to have 10 posts for that.
Greetings
