Everyone claims that GPS now works on ji6. I still can't get a lock. I don't use wireless networks and don't want to. I want my standalone GPS to lock...
I'm wondering if someone could please provide me the stock ji6 supl and application settings in lbstestmode for ji6 so I can try to figure out why I can't lock.

Previously there were multiple GPS related options including the ability to use AGPS etc. Where did they go?
Currently X10 is insisting that I am in France, though I am not even in Europe. Anyone else having trouble with GPS?
The option is above the gps option. It say Use wireless network. It should be the same as assisted gps. ^_^

Thanks. How stupid of me.
Hey guys,
Here's a quick rundown of my situation: I've had my GPS connector replaced per the instructions in the "Correct Hardware Fix" thread. I've been running tests using both the integrated gps test menu and the Chartcross gps test app.
For starters, I've found something quite curious about the Chartcross app. Despite the fact that I have "Use Wireless Networks" disabled in location & security settings, the Chartcross app does appear to use network assisted gps.
Chartcross Tests
Test 1: Place phone in airplane mode, restart, run test. Finds 3-5 sats, maybe connects, takes forever nevertheless. In other words, sucks.
Test 2: Re-enable wireless data. Restart. Run test again. Immediately sees 13 sats, connects to 7 fairly quickly (inside even). Again, this is despite having "Use wireless" unchecked.
My GPS is obviously working (and working well), so why the hell will it not connect while data is off? I'm totally stumped...any advice would be much appreciated.
P.S. I've tried Nero v5 (awesome, by the way) and stock 2.2. Pretty sure my phone is a July 2010 model, if that helps.
I had some slow connect issues with Nero v5 as well. I got mine resolved by flashing a newer (KA7) modem.

I'm getting awful gps with the ka7 modem. How was your gps before hardware fix?
Get a clue people, read the Vibrant advertisement. The Vibrant has GPS assist NOT GPS. That means without the Cellular connection just relying on the Sats for the connection, the GPS will be sucky and slow, but it will work without the Cell/wireless signal.
i am using KA7 and i am getting 11-14 in view and 5-7 lock, fast locate.
Without Cell signal i get 5-8 view and 3-5 lock takes 45sec-1min
But this could because of where i am and most likely why people have different performance of the GPS

Sorry man, I didn't realize the distinction.
So let me get this straight:
An assisted GPS uses some sort of wireless data regardless of whether or not the "Use Wireless Networks" box is checked in Android settings?
GET A CLUE PEOPLE! lol

I know that somewhere around there is probably an answer to my question, but I'm just 'lazy' to go through the 700+ pages on the cm7 thunderbolt thread.
I'm running cm7 the latest version on thunderbolt and the only thing to complain about is the gps not getting a fix.
I use the gps navigation on a daily basis and this is what's keeping me from using cm7 for the daily driver on my phone. Anyone have a fix for this i would greatly appreciate.
(P.S. i remember there was a fix for the evo back in those days with the msn reader app and some number calling, anything like that for the thunderbolt?)
thanks in advance!
Laziness isn't really an excuse considering it's talked about on nearly every page in the thread.
First of all, note in the OP by slayher it says "gps slow to get locks" (not experienced by all btw).
That said, suggestions depend on whether your gps just can't lock or isn't even trying.
Anyway, a few in no particular order are:
Backup CM7 -> Load Sense Rom->Get GPS Fix->Restore CM7
Enable Wifi (whether connected to AP or not)
toggling cdma/lte in mobile network settings
resetting a-gps in GPS Status and downloading data
unchecking use wireless networks in location settings
i know its a stupid question but im still new to the phone can anyone please tell me?
Possible if you turn off gps when you are not using maps.
what do you mean?
gps
You can use gps without data connection if thats what you mean,,as long as you have pre loaded maps,,or you can plan your route b4 you leave then switch off data connection,and gps will still work,unless you go off route ,,then you need data or wifi to re route a new route!!hope this helps
Hi I was wondering if anyone else has experienced problems with GPS and google maps attempting to locate current location? With both options under settings ≥ location services enabled for GPS and using my WiFi at home I am unable to retrieve my current location it just says your current location is temporarily unavailable, so though id see if anyone else has the same issue.
Im using 10.1.C.0.370 firmware.

Hey man, I have the WiFi version and I noticed that the stock Navigation app sometimes has problems finding my location compated to my Samsung phone. I was on the road last week traveling between France and Germany and on some occasions I had to use phone to get directions because the tablet would simply not get any GPS signal. On other occasion it would work. It seems to be pretty random. I'll post if I find more about this.
Hi thanks for the info, ive been messing around with it some more since i made this thread and this morning i was finally able to get a GPS signal and get google maps to zoom in on my current location but i had to go into settings > location services and disable Google's location service and turn off my wifi so it was just the GPS running. But after doing so i re-enabled the settings and turned WiFi back on and it worked fine lol.
maybe its just a bug in the software i don't know but your right it does seem spotty at the best of times.

Ive seen this as well. I also noticed the weather widget never updates location despite being set to auto refresh.
