I found this through a post on Google plus and wanted to share it, make sure to thank the original ok mal posters in other thread if it helps. Tested on my I747 and it worked wonders. I just wanted to share the knowledge for those not wanting to jump through to many hoops.

Can be fixed by a simple EFS restore I believe. Did you not do a backup of it in the first place?
Everything I've read had involved going back to stock to get it to reset. I didn't even think GPS had anything to do with efs I thought that was just the imei and other info related to it. Plus this is still simpler doesn't even need a pc or any other apps just access to the stock dialer and a minute or two.

No it's not the same instructions at all. The one in the stickies factory resets the phone. I used it to fix my gps about a month ago after flashing Liquid Smooth broke mine. They both do seem to work pretty well.

The reason this fix isn't in my stickie thread is because it temporarily fixes the problem. Too many users reported it was amazing one day and then the next its gone.

That sounds more like a hardware issue. My problem was that it would do nothing when the GPS was on in maps or anything else. No icon no nothing. After doing this it went back to normal.

Are you sure the APN settings are correct?
By the way, the AOKP releases (not milestones) are considered nightlies, not betas.
Yes they are it happens a few its not the msg not sending its the text is not entering its nothing to do apns.

Incorrect. The B in say B39 means build, not beta. All AOKP releases so far except the Milestones are considered and treated as nightly builds.
Check this link, and scroll down a bit: http://aokp.co/index.php/releases/_/build-38-r24
Remember: builds are considered "nightlies"!

Regarding your issue: I have had it before, but I cannot remember what ROM I ran and how I fixed the issue, I'm afraid.
The only way to fix it is to disable the lock screen. I've tried sending messages to some of the developers but apparently they just don't care about the issue. But with all the badass features of AOKP I deal with the issue
Happens on AOKP, doesn't happen on CM9 or Gummy.

This happens when you let the phone lock while you are in a specific message thread. Just don't do this and you won't have the issue.

I'm not saying it shouldn't, but that is the workaround.
I'm pretty sure this issue has been addressed several times. A simple google search would have pulled up thread after thread of the same thing. Seems to be more than just on AOKP. I for one ran into this problem running stock. Seems to be a case by case situation. Most likely an android bug that has yet to be squashed.

I always exit out of the SMS app when not using it, instead of locking my phone with the SMS app running.
Has anyone else here notice or know how to fix. the verry frequent "No connection error / retry" when using 3/4g in the play store a a few others application too?
I don't have problem on WIFI and when the problems occured, i have of course the 3g/4g active...
It does this even after factory reset since day one...

I called videotron 3 time and 1 of them finally found a ticket for this for investigation.
Also th eproblem doesnt happen when Using CM10.... so its firmware/ os bug

Is the sph-d710bst an epic 4g or an epic 4g touch? Sorry if in wrong forum. Couldn't figure it out by googling. All I got was that it was an epic. My wife's friends camera went out so I was coming here to look for help or possibly rooting it and updating it a bit. Thanks. I suggested a factory reset since she has like a bunch of crappy apps. I'll see if that works. Thanks

Yes, the sph-d710bst is the epic 4g touch. And if the camera is not working, I would suggest what you said, a factory reset. Get rid of all those apps that may be causing a conflict. If she doesn't want root(I know, but some people don't!) then just do the reset and update her through Kies with the latest jelly bean OTA. Good luck! I have the same phone, so let me know if you have any issues or questions.

If your camera went out? What exactly does that mean, can you provide a screenshot of what is happening?
If it's a hardware failure it is fairly simple to replace the camera on the e4gt. Just find tuscani and buy one from him if he still has the parts.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Did the factory reset and camera still doesn't work. It just has a black screen and freezes up where nothing works...
By black screen I mean it's black in the viewfinder. I'm unfamiliar with the device personally but we just came by her house and did all that and it still isn't working. Maybe the update would fix the camera possibly? I know it used to work so I'm unsure. Thanks again guys.

Hmmmm, Mattix may be right. Your camera may be borked. Try the update first, then look around on here for a new camera. They're not that expensive and from what I hear not too terribly difficult to install.

Before everyone starts berating you for not installing another rom, I installed goldeneye and it was fine for a bit and got terrible lag on the home screen and app drawer. So I went back to rooted stock again. Only rom for my phone that is smooth.
Okay one of these thread whining about t mobile updates just got locked. Can we not start a new one?
If you want updates now, root your phone and update it to your heart's content. That is what XDA is here for.
If you want to stay stock for whatever reasons and complain about a lack of updates, do it on the t mobile forums. They have forums there that are monitored by people who might actually listen and do something about it. There are zero people from t mobile reading this thread.

I got the opposite - lag with stock and not with custom ROM's (and kernels) like Wicked and Omega.
The post above is good idea - flood the tmobile forum.

This is usually the outcome. Too many postings (fresh ones too) of people who just got s-off and went to aosp. When they came back to sense, radios sucked. Until those posts stop appearing I stand by my comment.
If s-off, the decrypted ruu should fix. Until, you repeat the same steps...and define insanity.

You probably did what I did. I jumped right to Vanir, which might have messed with my radios. No matter what I flashed to, the problem remained. I posted a thread and Flyhalf was nice enough to point me in the right direction.

I am seeing radio issues as well. Areas where I was at high signal now get me medium to low. Our fav restaurant dropped me to 3g for the first time ever last night, showing a low signal when on stock it was at high.
I am running PAC-Man rom. Signal is being measured by GSAM Battery Monitor Pro.
Voice and Data are working fine, just low signal. IMEI is not blank. Not sure what step to take next to diagnose the issue.
This is what I'm getting running PAC when I have full bars.
