Rooted my lg and gps nav app will not find location and start navigation. Google Maps does locate me just fine. Anyone have an apk so i can try reinstalling or know of a way to get it working? I have a good 3g connection so i know it's not that.
Did you just root it? Did you install a ROM? Need more info to solve the issue...

Sorry bout that, just rooted it, haven't put a new rom on. it yet
Rooting shouldn't affect any apps. You can try clearing app data's in Maps and Nav. Maybe even turn on WiFi to help it find location faster.

ZV9 or ZVB? Have you tried a reboot? Or cleared data/cache and force close app?

Hold the power button down until it powers down to simulate a battery pull.

Have you downloaded any new apps lately? Have you try clearing cache and davlik-cache? Maybe a reboot or a hard reset?
We're comin from a pure power source.
yes ive done all those..even wiped my sd card and installed new rom,stil does it. idk
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
When it's on and you turn the screen off, does it turn off on the first press (eliminating the power button itself as the problem)?
That's weird. I thought maybe the button is going bad, but then it would do the same thing when turning it off I would think.

From your description, it seems like a mechanical/hardware problem, but if you're able to rule that out somehow, go into recovery, wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card and then download and flash a rooted stock ODEXED rom from HERE. This is a close to stock as you can get without unrooting. If it doesn't work with this rom, I would unroot, restore S-ON and then take it in to your local Sprint store.

ok... as long as your phone is rooted, it's easy to troubleshoot.
I recently master reset my phone and now for some reason my camera keeps backing out when I'm taking pictures, it doesn't do it all the time but sometimes it does it over and over again. I clear defaults on camera but still having random issues. It does not Force close, it just backs out. Anyone else Having any issues?
Thanks for any suggestions

You can try this if u want.
In the dialer enter this code:
*#34971539#
The camera firmware menu will open. Press the first button Cam Phone fw check
If the cam fw is different from phone fw you can then press Phone to Cam fw Write
This will update your cameras fw to current.
May or may not fix your problem, but could be worth trying.

First thing I would try is download the app faster fix from the market. Open it and set your region and see if that helps. If not post in the roms thread to see if others have had a similar issue.

First check to see if the GPS icon is in the toolbar on top when you have maps running, if so then you can try resetting google frameworks and reinstalling maps. If not it's a little deeper problem and you'll need to unroot your phone and install a stock ROM using ODIN. I just went through this, there's a good tutorial on this site just do a search. Once you do that then you can flash root 66 to get your root back and then install whatever rom you want, GPS should be fixed. Interestingly I had the same problem after flashing Wicked so there maybe something in there that's breaking the GPS.

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

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.
