GPS fix? AOKP maybe cm9 ics

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.

Have any of you tried the agps fix for cm and aokp ROM?

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.

Which jedi rom? Didn't see where you said. On 3.3 here and it works fine for me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

I'm on Jedi-X6. I think that the problem may have come when I was flashing it. I had it plugged in to the pc the entire time I flashed. I gave it 15 minutes without touching it instead of the recommended 10.
Update: Reflashed Jedi x6 4.1.2 and I'm having the exact same problem, no landscape at all on phone. I have found three locations on the UI where auto-rotate is selected. Setting, Display, and Auto-rotate screen; Settings, Accessibility, and Auto-rotate screen; and also in the status bar in toggles. Anywhere else it may be.

[Q] GPS problem signal

Hi.
I have a Galaxy s3 videotron t999v. I rooted and flashed the rom Frosty, illusion and CM10. I still have the same problem no GPS signal with google navigation. I went back to the stock rom with odin and make the ICS update for jellybean. Still the same problem no GPS signal.
Anyone has a solution or has had the same thing with Galaxy s3 Vieotron or Tmobile.
Thank you in advance.

I'm going through the same problem my friend. Odin back to stock ICS and did the software update to JB and still no GPS icon in the notification bar. This sucks...

I have the GPS icon in the notification bar but no signal. I tried on the market (GPS Status and GPS data) for more than 15 minutes outside with a clear sky with no results. I can not believe I'm the only one with this problem.
I hope there is someone here who can help us.

If your phone is rooted, try downloading 'fasterfix' from the play store and use it to set your location.
Use 'GPS Status & Toolbox' to redo your aGPS data afterwards and see if it that helps as well.
Try to leave it running for 2 mins outdoors, stationary. Set the program to leave the display on when that application is running. I think it should work better afterwards.

Well this is what I did. I returned with the original rom nothing has changed. I rooter my phone and installed GPS Status and FastFix. I have worked for 30 minutes GPS status it did not find a GPS signal. By the way this is not the first time I root my device. Motorola, LG, Samsung, and I've never had the problem.
If someone has a solution! Please let me know.
Edit: I also install JB 4.1.1 with Kies and nothing has changed. I noticed that the GPS icon does not appear when I do a search request with google navigation.

I started to get discouraged I can not find a solution.

The directions I posted on the first page worked for me and like you I came from cm10 and my GPS was messed up. Rooted back to stock ICS and it came back right away. I didn't even need to wait for an OTA update. Well on the bright side at least you'll have a brand new phone to root and play with. Hopefully it doesn't happen again! Good luck flashing in the future man.

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!

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.

My wifi will NOT TURN ON

So I wanted to flash the new jedi rom on my note2. I was running myrom. Through recovery I wiped the system and then I wiped cached. The usual. I have flashed many roms so I knew what I was doing.
So then I flashed the new jedi rom. And its wasnt working because this kept popping up without even letting me use the phone-> 'android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly'. And then I was like wth? I flashed back and recovered my previous rom and data and that rom worked just fine again.
So I did some reserch and I came across another forum that claims the fix is to flash SUPERWIPE. So I did so, then I flashed the jedirom again and it was working fine without any popups of any errors.
Then I noticed my wifi would not even turn on at all. I press the botton to turn on, and it says turning on, then it will go back to saying turn on, as if I never tried to turn it on at all. Please help guys as much as u can. Everything else works jist fine on my phone btw.

Its happening to me too. Except for the whole other problems. It happens randomly, not only wifi stays "turning on" my bluetooth doesnt work. This gets fixed over time idky but its really REALLY annoying.

Had that happen on my phone. Wifi and bluetooth wouldn't turn on. It would fix itself sometimes, but as soon as I leave a wifi area, it stops working even if I go to another wifi area. The only fix I know of is to do a warranty exchange. That's what I had to do.

It happened to me once before not to long ago and I returned it for an exchange. But a couple weeks ago I flashed a carbon nightly and the WiFi wouldn't toggle on again, flashed a different kernel and presto it was back.
