yeh thanks, i will check it out. hmmm how about trying QuickGPS? do u think that will make a difference in locating? i don't really know how these things work! what do you think?
possible solution
try this, go to phone>option>band>the network type should be auto, well switch to gsm and attempt to update. hopefully it will work.

Hi all,
Got a problem that I can't seem to find any suggestions on how to fix here on the forums.
My i-mate Jamin's wireless doesn't automatically detect wireless networks, and even when I specify the configuration manually, it won't connect either. So, there is no detection of wireless (the wifi does turn on alright), and the 'wifi on' tower icon appears, but doesn't try and search or connect.
I was starting to think this was a 100% hardware problem, but I found that if I try and create an ad-hoc network with my Jamin, other devices can see it. However, when actually trying to connect to the ad-hoc network, the Jamin still keeps trying to connect unsuccessfully.
This problem existed on WM5 (my original rom) and has still been the same on all WM6.1 roms I've used (ShadoW, iProphet etc).
Any suggestions on a software angle, or what to look for in terms of 'broken' hardware if I were to pull the device apart?
Cheers
try to update the ROM and the SPL, but be carefull
Thanks for the suggestion, but I've done both. I've got the HardSPL on my device, and I've got CloudyFa's WM 6.1 rom (and as I mentioned, I've tried about 3 other WM6 and WM6.1 roms too)..still no luck though.
It does, however, come up with the signal strength icon (like it can almost see the network) if you try and manually configure a network you know exists (eg my home network). It doesn't manage to connect to it though - just comes back and says 'unavailable'.
check if it is encrypted with WPA2. I think that version of cloudyfa is not compatible with that kind of encryption.

Definitely is only WPA here at home. Tried disabling it to no encryption, and likewise it doesn't work at my university (WPA) or at public wifi hotspots (no encryptions) or if you use WEP either. I've tried every setting on my router - and like I've mentioned, tried it in various other locations and routers...
Definitely something wrong with my device..but who knows what it is

Also, how does the main memory go during this update (can't remember from last time I did it) - does it get erased / should I back things up?

Main memory should be fine, nothing is wiped.
As to the best version, I'd suggest trying a few, personally, I think 2.19.21 is the best, but that may just be me and my Prophet...

Yep, main memory was fine. I've upgraded to the latest radio rom on that page, but still no luck.
So I've tried that one, your one was my original one (2.19.21) and my last one (2.20.21). Doesn't seem like it's a fix unfortunately..
Thanks for the help all the same. Anything else I could try?

Same problem here
Hey there, as I said befor I had the SAME EXACT PROBLEM (Vodafone S200 initial firmware - flashed several ROMS with no succes on wifi and finally decided to stay with bikertibi's 23102).
I think I somehow came across the solution (or the solution came across me) about the "when I turn on the wifi..."
It does:
1) look like its turned on as the upper icon appears and it says "on" on the display.
2) beeps the green led on the front speaker (or whatever is that)
BUT
It does not:
1) beep the radio signal (two waves) on the "wifi on" icon.
2) Find networks available
warning: my level of knowledge on PDA's is somewhere over the bottom limit so basically my interpretations of the solution will be more of that (interpretations) than it should be. So I beg for someone that knows what he's doing to try it and explain again.
Okay, after searching the unsearchable and MAKING SURE that it was DEF. NOT the USB cable, decided to give it a try to that icon "ADD NEW". That icon appears instead of the available networks, 'cause as I said my prophet wasn't detecting them.
So, I "added" a new one with ad-hoc (that is: tab on "add new", select ad-hoc, put a silly name and say yes to all) and then INSTANTLY and MAGICALLY (yes, Im THAT lamer) it all started to find networks all over the howse.
Other thing that might have been something on the process is that I was having my laptop with the wireless connected. At the first moment I connected the adhoc with the laptop but then tried to connect to another next door network with SUCCEED.
Finally, deleted the new added silly named network and it is still recognizing networks available.
PLEASE, SOMEONE THAT KNOWS ABOUT THIS, EXPLAIN IT WITH CLEAR WORDS!!!!
Hope it helps
Re:
Maybe you should check your network to see anything wrong with it...
There's nothing wrong with the network you guys. I've been having the same problem for over 3 years? Couldn't quite remember.
I STILL have my Qtek s200 with me now. Alive and kickin'. I still have a problem with my wifi. I can connect alright, and browse alright. BUT only if I'm 2 feet near my router. The reception is extremely poor 3 years back, still is extremely poor now. This is not a coincidence. I think something's wrong with our devices. Tried doing everything. cooked, uncooked, stock. original radio, ALL radio. Still the same. Same exact distance, the reception weakens after 2 feet. AND 2 FEET is way to short for WIFI browsing.
To add more that there is nothing wrong with my network at home:
1. got no password
2. I have a old Nintendo DS lite. Works Fine.
3. Got a Wii
4. Got an Old Xperia X1 (not quite old)
5. Wifey's on C905
6. Got a China Iped
7. Using an HTC HD7
8. My OLD MSI Laptop has WIFI connectivity.
9. My Sis got an Aino.
that's basically it, an everyday home WIFI activity connectivity. AS for my Prophet. Still looks black good. but still connects no good. everythng else connects fine though, beaming IR things, bluetoothing things. pretty much normal. All except WIFI.
3 years ago, I thought it was just me.
my hd2 gettinh dc from internet n o2 network after ebery few seconds..why?...had hard reset aswell but in vain...some help?..and internet icons on top bar changing from H to G to 3G continusly..plz help me...
The only suggestion I have after doing some searching for you, is , if you are using BSB tweak to enable Wireless N, some people have seen weird data issues with it, I myself have seen it as well ...
Please Don't double post ...
Suggestion, update the Title to something involving "Dropping Data Connection" might get noticed more ...
Suggestion 2, Post the ROM version of your phone, and Radio version, works best if you keep those in your Sig.
yeah im using bsb tweaks..so wots the way to resolve it?...uminstall or turn off all tweaks or what?..
anyother option or way guys?...
its really sux n annoying to getting dc again n again...
plz help asap...

Wow... I barely understood any of that...
BsB Tweaks WifI-N is problematic and does cause data problems. If you can, switch your router to B/G/N mode and just use WiFi-G (can't imagine you are doing anything on your HD2 that would require N speeds). If you can't switch your router, think about getting a second router and running it in tandem with your N router. You can also try the registry hacks (google it) to enable WiFi-N, but I believe that is what BsB is doing.
There's a reason HTC didn't enable WiFi-N and it's because it's unstable on some devices and a battery hog.
Also, update your radio to AT LEAST 2.07 (2.11/2.12 is probably recommended).
Hi guys
I bought a P500 on 25 October and GPS worked fine in that period.
I have been trying to localize my position for two weeks but I didn't succeeded. Apps like Foursquare or Mobile Maps don't work.
Can I hope about a software problem? Could I try to solve the problem with a reset?
Or it's a hardware problem and I have to send my O1 to the assistence?
Sorry for my English
But what it don't work?
Doesn't find the GPS?
Or desn't fix position?

How long did you wait after GPS was switched on? Where you outside?
Try the programm "gps status" so that you can see whether it finds really no satellite or if you only have to wait longer for the gps fix.
hi guys thanks for the answers
I had problems standing outside with apps like 4sq or layar
This morning I did a reset (from privacy settings) and after that layar and 4sq worked again
After some hours I had issues again and I decided to try the app you suggested me (gps status). I managed to find the satellite and now it works again with 4sq and Layar.
what do you think about my problem?
Sounds hardware to me!

I purchased Sygic a few months ago and at first it worked pretty good. However recently I am getting / experiencing more and more problems with this navigation program.
The problem is, whenever I start Sygic it says it's loading and then throws me back to the main screen. :S
I recently installed the Aura ROM, but this didn't fix anything.
Maybe uninstalling and removing all the configuration files would fix my problem. I understand how to uninstall, however I don't know where the configuration files are stored.
Anyone care to help or is experiencing the same problem?
Hi there!
I'm having the same issue, using ΠCrust ROM, which is based in ATT's ROM. I check into the Sygic forums, and it appears to be a bug with this ROM version. I posted for support in the forum, as in the begining, the aplication was having problems with OpenGL also. The lastest version resolvs the OpenGL problems, but this Open and ForceClose issue is still present.
Here's the link were the issue was originally reported:
http://support.sygic.com/sygic/topics/crash_on_motorola_atrix_2_3
For the FC, there's a work around, it seems it conflicts in some way with the GPS. So to start Sygic you will have to:
1. Disable GPS in the phone
2. Open Sygic, it will ask you to activate the GPS showing a dialog, click settings, activate the GPS and select back
3. Sygic will open normally
Hope it helps at least for you to use the application.
Thanks for the tips. I am on CM7 and have been experiencing the same things.

I was having problems with my GPS as well where it would not lock on no matter how long I waited. I did not have this problem when I first got my phone and I'm not sure when the bug was introduced. None of the software fixes worked for me, including the ones discussed here, and the problem persisted across all ROMS, including stock.
Finally I found someone in a forum that recommended removing the battery while the phone was on. I was hesitant to do this for obvious reasons, but my frusteration drove me to desparation and I tried it. To my surprise the GPS works good as ever and typically locks onto my location in less than 10 seconds. Obviously if you can get the software fix to work for you, this is better, but this was the only thing that worked for me. Hopefully this will help someone else.

What should the agps settings in gps.conf be set to?
I already set ATT=0 and used Faster Fix, but still locking/fixing is very slow, sometimes taking hours.
Could this have anything to do with my location? I am in China now, have unlocked the phone so using on a local carrier. Last time I was in the US (using it with ATT) it worked great.
Solved - SGH-I777 GPS fix
The sirfgps.conf ATT_NETWORK_OPERATOR=0 did nothing for me on my AT&T SGH-I777.
I got that GPS fix app and gps worked but its full of spam adverts that show on your notification bar. They appear with a star infront of the spam advert.
I fixed it the old fashion way. By remembering how I fixed my AT&T Galaxy I gps issue.
in /etc/sirfgps.conf leave att_network_operator=1
change, SSL_ENABLED=1
save and exit
in /etc/gps.conf change the following:
SUPL_HOST=www.spirent-ics.com
SUPL_PORT=7275
save and exit.
now I get 7 second gps lock in Miami Fl.
