Hi guys, I need some help with an issue that appeared for the first time a couple of days ago and I have no idea why it happened.
I first noticed that GPS wasn't working when I needed it in GMaps, than I also saw in Google Now that it said that Location service is off, but it is not!
I also tried to deflag it and than to flag again, but still it didn't worked.
I hoped that updating to 4.2.2 would have fix it, but I just updated and I still have the same problem.
I'm on a stock 4.2.2 rooted...any help would be very appreciated
Thnx in advance

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with the GPS. It worked before (about 1 month ago I used it for the last time, worked perfectly), but somehow it doesn't work now. I didn't do anything special, just installed some apps in between.
It couldn't get a fix, even no satellite was found. I have been using Android Revolution 3.2. So I restored to a previous backup, it then could find 3 satellites (sometimes the 4th appeared) but after a long while it still couldn't get a fix. So I decided to try a latest ROM, Android Revolution 5.1.9, and flashed the recommended radio (Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2). It still can do NOTHING!
I used GPS Status and Tools btw.
How can I determine what the problem is? Whether a problem of hardware or radio or something else...
Thanks for any hint!
Cheers,
Charlie
Hi there,
Just wanted your point of view regarding something really strange that happened to me yesterday.
(btw, I looked it up all over the forum + google but still unabale to find a proper answer)
So basically, I droped down my phone, which crashed on the floor but nothing really serious. Ever since, every time I try and turn on the wifi, it says "Error".
I've tried rebooting it several times and still get the issue.
Do you guys think the wifi chip could have been broken? Is there any report log I could find using terminal or root explorer?
Phone specs:
Virtuous Unity v1.29.0
Android 2.3.3
Phone rooted
Bluetooth does turn on
Thanks in advance for your help
Try flashing a different rom, back up your current one first, and check out if the wifi is working without restoring any apps.
Did you ever fix this? I did the exact same thing, dropped onto hard tile. Wifi error and couldn't read data partition.
Randomly after a day or 2 it fixed itself and was fine for 2 weeks.
BUT...just happened again today. I wiped caches, reflashed ARHD, fixed all permissions. Data partition became readable again (not sure which of those fixed that) but i still get "Wifi Error" when turning wifi on.
Any help/suggestions much appreciated.
Hello all,
I don't know what I did, but WiFi totally blacked out on me.
I had this problem before, and I reflashed my radio and that did the trick.
A few weeks ago, I went and cleaned up my PC. So, I haven't got the files anymore.
The links at cyanogenmod.com are dead and so are they on the wildfire-index page, I was wondering if anyone had the radio's around (or had working links.)
It would be greatly appreciated, I don't need my wildfire for a very long time anymore. but WiFi is a must if you're getting a new phone and you need to transfer stuff
Thank you in advance,

Last I checked, the links on the CM website worked for me.
Here's the latest radio taken from there (4 days ago)

Thank you both, for your quick support.
I fixed it!
Hello guys,
Long time reader/user, first post...
Here is the story... On a concert last week, my GF's Galaxy S3 fell into one big beer glass... it was an accident, nothing to do about it.
After we cleaned all we can in site and let it dry for 24 hours, we turned it on and found the screen was damaged... damn... ok, I got a working screen from a friend and replaced the original... At first everything was OK, but after some 8-10 hours, the screen started to go blank on random events (pressing the apps button, opening an SMS, pressing the power button to lock, and several other actions)...
We did a factory reset, it worked for a while and then failed again... removed the battery and put it back on... worked for some time and then it happened again...
As it was recently upgraded to 4.3 (TCE) software, and it stops happening from time to time, I thought it was a software issue, so then I reinstalled the stock firmware using Odin... it worked for 8-9 hours and then it happened again.
Then, I rooted the device and installed CM 10.2 ... Worked fine again for a while and then it got even worse.
Tried to install Stock ICS (4.1.1) firmware downloaded from sammobile.com, but the install failed and the phone was soft-bricked.
Used Odin again to install 4.3 stock firmware again and it worked... for some hours again...
Tried using a different battery... same issue... removed the SDCARD... same issue...
I still think the stock ICS 4.1.1 (TCE) firmware may work, but unfortunately I cannot find it to download... all the sites (including posts here on XDA) direct to a link on "Hotfile", that unfortunately was taken down by the goverment for piracy issues.
I'm out of ideas now, so, if you guys have this firmware, please help me sharing it, or if you have other ideas to troubleshoot this issue, it will be greatly appreciated... my GF has only one month with this phone and is very frustrated.
Thanks in advace. Kind regards,

Hey guys.
No response yet? Help please.
Ok, cleaned all the apps installed by Google Play from the computer... flashed back stock JB... and we're installing apps one by one... problem reappeared but less frequently...
I'm thinking memory issue... not really sure...
If anyone has some advice, it will be greatly welcome...
Hey guys,
so I've been using my Xperia Arc S for over a year with no problems but recently when I try to turn on the wifi it becomes stuck at 'turning on'. The same thing happens with the bluetooth. Sometimes when I restart the phone it works but most of the time it doesn't I've tried factory resetting it and it worked fine for a bit but then became stuck again. I'm running stock 4.0.4 rooted.
It started happening when I went overseas where my sim card didn't work and I had to change the time zone manually in settings. I read somewhere that this happened to someone else who did the same but there was no solution found. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks :good:
It may be hardware problem or software. If you tried factory reset then you should try a new Rom. If problem keeps going, your phone may be the problem, you should bring it to repair service for diagnosing.
Hope it help!
Repair firmware with PC Companion.
I tried repairing it with PC Companion but still no luck. I guess it may be a hardware problem like motlanvamaimai suggested.
Same Q
Hey guys.. I faced similar issue in my AMOI 820 based Indian local device Micromax (rooted + custom kernal)
I fixed this stuck wifi problem by uninstalling Google apps in system by removing them using Titanium back up + and again installing them from playstore if needed.. Hangouts(in my case) if it's a system app after getting updated is the culprit .. Try removing it and reboot and test it yourself..
