GPS issues? - Sprint LG Optimus G

I flashed the Super Nexus ROM on my Optimus g, and now I can't seem to get a GPS lock. After using FasterGPS, I can get a triangulation, but after trying to actually navigate on GPS, it's always miles off and doesn't update more than once per few minutes.
Has anybody else had this problem with other ROMs?

I had this same exact issue today. My fault for not fully testing the rom before trying to use as a daily driver. I was late to an important meeting.thanks to not having gps.
For now, I reverted back to stock from a TWRP backup, which seems to have no gps issues. I really want to go back to a Kitkat rom, but wondering is this s Supernexus thing or something I can avoid by flashing supernexus over my working stock rom (updated PRL).

Apparently this is an issue with all AOSP roms. Sometimes, the GPS just doesn't work. This can be fixed by flashing back the stock rom, getting a GPS lock, then restoring (or reflashing) your AOSP rom. I'm running CM11 now, and after fixing my GPS (which I did on SuperNexus), I haven't had it break after about 3 nightlies and the Milestone 4 flash.

There were a few minor changes between the RC1 being built and the next nightly build being built.
Ultimately it's just another build, but they hope to get more people to test that particular build on their phones so they can find and fix any bugs before the official release.
RC is running pretty well for me. A few nightlies before the RC, I was getting some FCs and web views not loading in apps like Pulse News Reader.

No problem with signal strength for me. In fact, its far better carrier network wise than the official gingerbread was.
Nothing to report yet. ROM working great!
yup the signal is very strong
Does this has fluidity and true ppi 326 like ics leak?i have tried cm9 nightly but never been happier like ics fluidity and screen true color.i see geshter sensor in ics leak for that i think stock leak is fluid...so hows the RC1.trying to come back.i have 1% battery drain in 8 hrs for the leak.
Should i come back to cm9

So far is very fast and more reliable than the nightlies. I so get occasional FCs but nothing to make me hate the phone. I'm also running HO!NO! V5 kernel and battery life is good. I also have a 3800mAh battery so it adds

I flashed this ROM (my first time ever) and so far I love it. However, I can no longer access the hidden menu and I think its because of the ROM. How many ways can I try to access the hidden menu to unlock my phone?

Unfortunately it's not currently possible to SIM unlock the phone while using CM9. If you are locked and intend to unlock the device, you must flash back to another ROM to perform the unlock, then come back to CM9.

Ok this is what I was thinking. I'm still new to android modding so I have to ask this... Will I encounter any issues trying to flash back and forth? Or is it as simple as going into recovery and flashing to stock gingerbread and unlocking after reboot, then going back to recovery and flashing CM9 RC1 again?
It just sounds so simple that I'm afraid there may be something I don't know of that I should do.
Yep, that's all you have to do, except if I were you, I'd just make a nandroid backup in CWM, flash GB, wipe data, boot GB, unlock, reboot to CWM, and restore your backed up CM9
Sent from my LG-P930 using Tapatalk 2
Ok I understand all of that except "nandroid". What is nandroid?
And here's another issue. I backed up my GB before flashing CM9 RC1, but something isn't right in the restore list in CWM. It shows the two CM9 backups correctly, but the only other one is listed as:
1970-06-25. 18.55.37/
What's with the year 1970 as it's date? And I didn't do it on June 25th, it was more like July 2nd or 3rd.

New Radio (Firmware Update)

Now that the new update has been leaked we have new firmware with a new radio (.0320). Has anyone seen any differences between this one and .0312, the previous newest radio? Would it be worth it to flash the new firmware if I was running a custom rom (jelly bean paranoid android)?
I just realized this should probably be in q and a. Can this be moved?

new radio on cm10
I tried the .0320 radio on aeroevan's cm10 and it just hung on boot. I then did a restrore to the CWM backup I made before I installed it and my phone booted fine and says it still has the new radio. Wierd... Does CWM recovery not backup and restore the radio?

No, it doesn't, it was probably because of the other firmware stuff. But cwm does not back up the radio

More accurately said...your radio is not affected by flashing roms. Only if you flash something specifically at the radio level.
As for CM10 hanging on boot, it has been a little finicky. I get bootloops, but eventually it brings itself out of the bootloop. If it is truly hanging, try changing the order of flashing...I do rom-->kernel-->gapps. I used to do gapps before kernel, but this seems to bring consistently better results. Don't have any idea why that would be. Also, I think you have to have either the 12 or 13 kernel for CM10 at this point.
The first time u flashed back to cm10 did you forget to flash a kernel? That could cause it not to boot and your backup that worked would have the kernel included where your fresh install wouldn't. This could explain what happened.

New firmware caused bootloop issues for me even after I wiped system, data and cache. I described it a separate bthread in Q
And A. That said, I didn't have good description with the latest radio. Always had the best luck with 622, which is an old gingerbread radio.

no issues with AOKP. I did have a few issues the cwm and i think i just need to reflash recovery. Otherwise, no issues so far.

Running Nit's TSM UKB Evolution 2.0 now with the newly leaked ics firmware with the .0320 radio, mobile data signal is a bit stronger, by as much as 8 to 10 dBm and WiFi isn't dropping out (was seeing random "X" instead of the signal bar before) - haven't run into any FC issues yet. screen transitioned is still a bit laggy sometimes when changing home screen - battery life is on par with other similar roms.

I didn't reflash the rom. I just did a restore from the backup I made right before I flashed the new radio. I have been running aeroevan's kernel
v.12 with Adreno drivers and cm10 7/30 build for 2 weeks now with no complants.(except for the FFC and video camera.)
If you read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134451&page=51
You will see other people you have gotten it to work by clearing the cache after installing the .0320 radio so maybe the restore had the same effect. I didn't see any improvements as far as signal goes so I just reflashed the .0312 radio to avoid any problems. I may feel froggy this weekend and reinstall the .0320 radio this weekend and try the clear cache trick out. If so I will report back with the results.

I ended up installing the firmware then doing a full wipe before flashing my last ROM. So basically all I was left with was the new radio. Everything works so far.

I tried just flashing the new radio .320 without the Rom and my aero 8/21 hung at boot. So I loaded the leaked ics Rom and I had the WiFi killing the data bug so I flashed tazz's and macros latest 8/28 build and my service is pretty solid. Ive seen better battery life and less service jumping with this radio. When and if aero updates his cm10 I'm going to try it out and see if things go the same for his Rom. I'm in love with the cm10 builds

After you flash radio on areo's cm10 just wipe cache will boot fine then.

Bootloop issue following installation of firmware in leaked Verizon ICS/Sense 3.6

Hey all -- wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue.
So, I flashed the firmware upgrade that nits posted along with the leaked Verizon ICS rom. I couldn't resolve the wifi/mobile data toggle issue to my satisfaction, so I figured I would go to another rom as my daily driver for the time being. However, now anytime I flash a sense-based rom, my phone reboots right after the rom loads up and goes to the lockscreen. It really seems like it is rebooting at the time the radio is trying to get a signal. I tried using different radios to see if that would resolve the issue, but no dice. I even bootloaded a pg32img of the stock rom (hboot .98, which kept me s-off but caused me to lose my recovery so I had to push that back on through fastboot), but I still can't flash any sense-based roms without the phone restarting soon after it loads and goes to the lockscreen. This includes the UKB roms and Eclipticsense. I do not experience this problem with AOSP roms, and I'm currently running CM7.2 without any issues (I can run it with the newest firmware from the leak, and even with an older GB radio).
Thoughts?

[Q] GPS Never WOrking on ANY ROM now...!?

So my GPS on T999 is no longer owrking. I have tried re-installing the current ROM. Installing other ROMs, everything, but I just can't get the phone to lock onto a SAT! It is really frustrating now as I need it really bad about a week ago and couldn't get out of the downtown lol.
CUrrently I am on the Aeon Fluxx ROM but the GPS did NOT work on the FROSTY, BLACK JELLY, AOKP, CM Nightlies, or ANY other ROMs anymore.
I have used GPS Status to reset A-GPS and then re-download the A-GPS data to no avail.
Any suggestions folks?
I believe there is already a thread about precisely this. Was posted maybe a week ago.

[Q] Can someone help me fix my wifi?

About a week ago my just wifi and tether stopped working.
What happens:
When attempting to "toggle on" toggle will switch from on then back to off after several minutes sometimes the toggle will grey out
Things I have done to try to fix it:
-Factory data reset
-Reflashed ROM
-Flashed different kernals
-Flashed different radios
-Flashed different ROMS everything from cm7 to cm10 and sense based roms
Additional info:
Wifi and tether were working the night before, my battery was low so my phone died with tether still on. I plugged it in and left it alone until the next morning
ROM I was using at the time: Andromadus Mimicry 1.5 w Aero14

Was that no to all questions including restoring from titanium? If so, then I would say it's hardware related. If it was just a setting then flashing a new rom would fix it.

If the wifi *never* works, it may be that your kernel driver for the wifi device is either not installed or doesn't match the current kernel. If it works some of the time then fails, it's probably broken hardware.
Fixing the kernel problem means you'll need to find a kernel update zip and flash it in recovery. See the dev forum to find one
