So I rooted my TB soon after I got it, flashed BAMF 1.5 in combination with imoseyon's kernels and everything was kosher. I used Navigation frequently, had no GPS lock problems, etc etc. This was the case all the way up through BAMF 1.6 remix/imoseyon 2.2 (running extreme, the under-volted 1.41). Recently, however, since (as accurately as I can pinpoint) BAMF 1.6.2, my GPS not only locks very slowly (5min+), but after locking, it will also reboot the phone. I've downloaded GPS Status from the market and looked through that, I've changed my pool from north-america to us, and quite frankly I'm just out of ideas and I can't find anyone else who has had this same exact problem.
I'm currently running...
BAMF 1.6.3 remix w/ some of Pilot's mods
Imoseyon's v2.4 kernels, currently the extreme (under-volted 1.41)
1.12.605.6 CDMA and 1.13.605.7 LTE radio
CDMA Radio version: 1.16.00.0223r
LTE radio version that came with 1.13.695.7
Right now I'm going to wipe data/cache/dalvik and re-flash 1.6.3 remix with the stock kernel and see what happens, but in case that doesn't fix is, does anyone have any clue whats happening?
Could be wrong, but i think its the Kernal. I had this exact problem. Switched from Extreme to normal and haven't had the issue since.
GPS still sucks for locking on. Have to open up nav, set my destination, then open up the gps status app and eventually it locks and the nav starts working. I've tried everything i can think of.

I'll give the kernel switch a shot. Did you do the switch with his speedtweak.sh, or did you flash a new one?

I've turned off use wireless networks, I've checked the GPS settings (Bionix rom has them set to default) and my GPS (using the test tool) can see 9-12 birds if I let it sit there for 30 seconds or so, but after 20 minutes of letting it sit, still doesn't lock on to ANY of them.
I'm using the stock kernel, gps used to lock (although unreliably) on the older build (whatever comes with stock...JFD I think?)

Try sending a message to team whiskey to see if they can help you. Did you install any other updates after installing the Bionix rom and also make sure you give the stable release with fixed GPS a try.
I'm on bionix 1.8, I was outside for 45 minutes and never got a lock.ridiculous.
You guys should re flash. I've ran both 1.8 and 1.9, both lock onto 10/11 sats and 20ft accuracy in less than 15 seconds.

Nope; it's a fresh install of Bionix 1.9. I was thinking of doing an ODIN back to stock and then reinstalling Bionix just in case there was some remnants of a GPS fix left on the device but I figured that would have all gotten wiped by the Bionix install.

Same issue here. I flashed back to JFD via Odin and still had the issue. I then upgraded to JI6 without making any real changes and still have the issue. I've been on Frankin-Twiz, and Bionix 1.8 and 1.9.1 and hadn't ever seen any improvement.
I take that back. I installed GPSTest and ran through a procedure where I cleared 'GPS Aiding Data' (or a similar name) and was finally able to get a fix after sitting and waiting for 10 mins or so. Immediately following, I was able to use Navigation for the 1st time with this phone. Unfortunately, it didn't stick.
If I have 'Use Wireless Networks' enabled under 'Location and Security' and open G-Maps as I sit at my house, it can find my location based on my wireless network's SSID. If I drive away at that point, GPS is able to track my location and Navigation does work.
However, if I open G-Maps while I'm already on the road, it cannot get a fix. Or, rather, it can't get a fix in a reasonable amount of time. I don't consider 10 mins reasonable since anything I'm trying to do which is location-sensitive is usually more urgent than not.
In short, this sucks.
^ exactly the same.
Since upgrading to the EB01 Froyo leak (debinged/deodexed) I have wifi issues where every 3 or 4 times I attempt to enable it, it will fail, and show "Error" under the Wi-Fi settings (where it ususally says in blue text "Turn on Wi-Fi", "Connecting..." "Connected to <network>", etc). I finally got the log message associated with it, and was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to address this?
From what I gather insmod is the kernel's mechanism for (in this case) loading the wifi driver, so this would be an issue with the kernel? So now what?
E/WifiHW ( 2467): return of insmod (args:firmware_path=/system/etc/wifi/bcm4329_sta.bin nvram_path=/system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt dhd_watchdog_ms=10 dhd_poll=1) : ret = -1, Invalid argument
At first I thought a reboot was necessary to get it to attempt to reload the driver, but I've since found clearing level 2 ram in the task manager does the trick. Still a big PIA though.
Thanks for any help.

I had the same problem until I flashed the EC10 kernel, hasn't happened since.

So, if I'm not mistaken I can just install the non-voodoo zip w/ Red CWM directly over EB01 with no wiping/cache clearing, etc, and be up and running with no data or configuration loss? Sounds like a pretty quick and easy way to fix my issue.
I haven't been following the EC10 thread, but I just took a look and looks like the static issue when the screen comes on during a call is fixed as well, the only other issue I've had.
Guess I may have to give it a shot! How long have you been using it?

I've been using it for a couple days and have to say that it combined with SuperClean 2.9 has made my phone super smooth. I haven't found a single glitch so far.
Took the plunge and updated to EC10 last night. I've had only a brief time to play around with it, but so far so good with the wifi. Thanks for the help!
Could just be my mind playing tricks on me, but I could swear in general everything is more responsive as well... Not only loading apps, but when I brought up navigation this morning I've never once seen it lock on and start driving directions this fast.
Nevermind... Same problem still with EC10. Got my hopes up there for a minute.
I got the same problem with SC 2.9.2v and had with any other SC Froyo build. I'm using JuiceDefender so WiFi is turned on/off lot of times (every 15 minutes on schedule or when screen is unlocked). Usually once or twice a day I find that there is an error with WiFi and the only way to fix it is to wait couple of minutes and try turning it on manually or switch to airplane mode on/off.
I also use JuiceDefender w/ Wifi. If it doesn't occur less often with EC10 (too soon to tell still), I'll have to disable the wifi controls in JD so it's toggled on/off far less frequently.
Glad to see I'm not the only one seeing it. I bet the JD users will just notice it more since we are loading the wifi driver all the time.
Kidd_Funkadelic
And thanks for the airplane mode tip- I'll have to try that. I was clearing level 2 ram in task manager to do it. AM would be slightly more convenient.
jt1134's source build EC10 didn't help, still having same problem with WiFi. My log is showing the same thing.
At least the new kernel fixed the static issue. One thing at a time, right? I hope that this means there will be ED01 kernel drop
Actually, maybe April Fool's day is a bad choice...
What radio are you using? EB01?
Yes, I did the full Froyo update to EB01 over the stock 2.1 Verizon eclair, then installed the EC10 specifically for this issue. That's all I've done. Oh, went back into CWM after seeing the problem for a few days to clear the Dalvik cache. That's all I've done to date...
OK so it's not radio related but kernel/rom then. I'm on EA28 radio cause I had problems with missed calls with EB01.
Solutions? Bump?
Sorry for reviving this thread, but I have what I think is the same problem (on EB01).
My wifi always works after a reboot, but then if I turn it off and try and turn it back on, it gives me an error message until I either
A) reboot the phone
or
B) repeatedly turn it on and off again (usually takes 3 or 4 times to work again)
Anyone else having this specific problem or know how to fix it?

I was able to get rid if the problem by using Auto Killer Memory Optimizer. It turned out to be a memory issue. Use one of the preset profiles, like aggressive, and see how you do. I was having the problem several times a day and it never came back.
Or, upgrade to PWGB, which takes care if the problem too and doesn't require messing with memory mgmt settings...
Running OMFGB 1.2.0.
Whenever I attempt to use Navigation, GPS locates me like it should, navigation begins then GPS is lost and never reconnects. Appears I am not the only one with this issue. Two others posted in actual OMFGB development thread, but no responses.
I really enjoy this ROM, but need to get GPS to work correctly.
Any ideas???

There was a GPS bug located in CyanogenMod that has been fixed in all of the CM7 ROMs, as fas as I know. This was also an issue with the Froyo CM6 ROMs (and, I think, even the Conap's Eclair CM5 ELB.) See this post in the GSB thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11377484&highlight=gps#post11377484
Anyway, try one of the CM7 ROMs instead, if you do a lot of Navigation.
Yeah this is a problem with both omgb and omfgb. note that the gps signal is not lost, but the navigation app stops communicating. I prefer omgb over cm7 because the exchange mail actually works. Unfortunately, the developer of these roms is not as responsive as some other devs. If you haven't tried gsb, I would. Everything but exchange mail works.

Edit - I tested a bit more. Gps status does not lose fix, but navigation and maps do after 5 or so.

I ended up going back to CM7. I really liked the default load of OMFGB. Didnt have to tweak all the screens and settings, but oh well. I got CM7 almost where I want it.
Thanks!
3 Different ROM GPS not working
I tried 3 different ROMS for gingerbread OMGB, Condemned CM7 and GingerTaz 27 and in all of them I cant get google maps and Osmand to connect to satelitte. It keep losing GPS connection after 2 minutes and never been able to reconnect.
everytime I flash the rom I did full wipe (data, cache and dalvik).
Is there any gingerbread Rom that I can try which has the GPS problem corrected ?
Any help greatly appreciated.
update: I flash GSB CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC0 the GPS working so far, however the phone a bit slugish

Yes, I'm on V3.3 and GPS worked flawlessly today...
...as for on performance. I am running it at 787Mhz/480Mhz ONDEMAND and seems to be ok.

Similar experience here with several GB rom (by Tazz, CS, Mac & OMGB/OMFGB - GPS would usually start & work - but if I start driving away in NAV (within Car Mode or standalone, even in Map mode) - it will announced "GPS Signal loss .... screen display Searching GPS, etc." & won't regain functionality - even if I were to pull over and use GPS Tool to reset/download fresh datasets. I gave up - been careful & spending time doing a full SD wipe, clearing cache data & dalvik and checking/verifying all the steps - all of the developers are working hard on solutions & resolve the issues.
GSB seemed to be most reliable, V3.3 was excellent as I used it last week on a 3 hour freeway road trip and it never once lost signal/navigation - used it alongside the old trusty Garmin unit. Grabbed & flashed the latest V3.4 GSB release and it's just as good, if not better, for other minor fixes - not running the Super Charger script, bumped Performance setting up one notch to 710/480 and Boot reset, JIT off and everything else default. Using moderate ATK setting only - and I'm getting very good results overall on this GB custom ROM. Very responsive & I'm not going to push the speed any higher as it is excellent in my scoring of this "EOL" device with zero trade-in value to VZW, LOL.
Let's keep in mind that all of these GB roms are basically all work in progress, not exactly "Final Release" but seemed to be getting close to being declared a "finished product" ready for prime time, but GSB is my "biased" preference as a daily rom over the others.
Hi! I had Das Bamf 1.8 installed with the latest Froyo CDMA/LTE combo radio.
I was downloading an update to Google+ when all of a sudden the screen froze. I decided to pull the battery out and restart; surprisingly, 4G hasn't worked since then.
I went into the network settings to find one change that I've never seen before (at least I think): "Ciphering ON". I repeatedly tried to press Toggle Ciphering but it refused to go off.
With this, I thought that reinstallling the radio combo will somehow fix it; it didn't. I then decided to install the new Ginger radio (MR2.5) along with Bamf GingerREMIX 2.1; this didn't solve the problem as well.
Am I screwed in this case? Could it possibly be that the service is down temporarily in my area? I've googled around but there doesn't seem to be much documentation regarding to Ciphering...
Thanks!
Today I installed the bamf 1.0 ICS rom coming from a senseless rom and everything is good minus the wifi. For some reason I cannot turn it on. If I click it to turn it on it says "Turning wifi on...." but I'll wait for an hour and have it not do anything. It will occasionally say error but it will usually just display turning wifi on and nothing else.
Any remedies?
Edit: Also the bamf settings app isn't working quite well on this. Most of the options work but the bamf settings option under the General tab does nothing for me. It gets highlighted and nothing else happens.Also I'm starting to get crazy amounts of blue flicker while just on the home screen which was why I left the other Rom. I did do a full wipe

Dumb question , but did you make sure you installed the correct Bamf 1.0 kernel ? Invariably it seems most wifi errors are improper kernel installation or it didn't flash right.
I flashed one of the sense ones he had up. New Sense 1.5 I believe.

Bamf 1.0 , is based on the new base correct ? Then the 1.5 new sense I believe is for the old base. I think 1.5 new sense was for 1.0 preview and your on the 1.0 official ?
If your on the 1.0 preview then its the correct kernel ,then I am not sure why it wouldn't be working. If your on the new base , then recheck link and make sure it was the right one.
Just checked his site, he now has them labeled newfirmware people and oldfirmware people. So just verify which base your on and grab the correct kernel.
Thanks, I flashed the different kernel and it fixed my problem right up. No blue flickering, wifi turned on, and its no longer laggy. I figured new sense was the kernel just because it said new in it.
Do you know why bamf settings don't work? Everything does except for the one area that says "UI enhancements".
