Firmware & GPS Question - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a question that im unsure of the answer. I recently flashed the new firmware with BB.67. Cant remember the firmware number. I live in Canada, so it changed my X10a to a X10i...which isnt a big deal for me....but what im unsure of is does the firmware and baseband your using effect the accuracy of the GPS navigation? A couple days ago I typed in a address I needed to get to for work and the GPS sent me to the opposite side of the damn city. I love this new firmware and baseband because my battery life is absolutely amazing....but not worth it if my GPS fails when using it.
Thanks!

Im also rogers in Ontario using this firmware. I haven't had any issues with gps accuracy to date. I had a similar issue in Hamilton once using stock rogers eclair so not thats its alot of help but I don't think it has anything to do with ur change.

How do you find the battery life on this firmware? Mine is just to amazing. I flashed back to .435 until I know for sure the GPS isnt effected.

Battery life is alright. Haven't found it to be exceptional but a definite improvement over stock. The radio is definitely more responsive but I came from trips Rom so signal nd data speed doesn't quite seem as good. The Rom as a whole is great everything works fantastic for me its def gonna stay my daily until gb is released. I will test gps out on my commute in the am and post back my results

How???Where cna i find ?...but i dont have root,recovery.
It's an ICS thing. The new update messed with our signal. The only way to fix it is to S-Off and go back to Gingerbread.

Sorry for the late reply, you can search for modems I can provide a link if necessary but a Google search should be fine and you will need to root and have cwm installed to do this or use a flash tool or Odin if you have a galaxy,

I use to get full five bars at home using GB, after updated to ICS (SuperSayain rom) I pretty much only getting 3 bars. What I did was in the mobile network setting, changed mode from auto to WCDMA only and so far i've been getting pretty much 5 bar most of the time with occasionally dropped down to 4. hope this works for you too.
I am also having this strange issue. So is reverting to GB the only way or can you just flash the gb radio? Anybody know anymore about this??
Same issue here. At home used to get full 5 bars, now 3 sometimes 4, which is fine as I am usually on WiFi anyway. Problem is I had great signal all throughout my daily commute to work to where there is sections of my drive that I have no signal. Before in that area it would revert to EDGE from 4G and mine is set to auto.
Just believe like everyone else mentioned that it is the ICS radio. Hopefully an update will fix it

No. And to the people talking about modems and odin and.. yea, no. We don't have modems to flash, and odin is just for samsung devices. Until now we couldn't flash a radio if we WANTED to.
You know the iPhone's fix when people were talking about how bad the signal was for the iPhone4? They had been boosting the REPORTED signal strength. So did HTC, so did Samsung, so did.. all of them. You'd drop a call when it showed you had GOOD signal.
Not a single person has posted about having ACTUAL worse issues. The OP said he can make calls and talks about how many bars.
Apple's opinion:
We have discovered the cause of this dramatic drop in bars, and it is both simple and surprising.
Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong. Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display 4 bars when we should be displaying as few as 2 bars.

People here are having the OPPOSITE problem, it LOOKS like you should have an issue, and you don't.. but people keep posting about it even tho there hasn't been any issues.
This is the ONLY person who had actual signal issues(Weird Interference/Reception Call Issues on my Amaze) I have seen since ICS dropped, and it turned out to be a hair on the contact for the antennae. Read his thread, he methodically checked quality and could answer basic questions - and then he fixed the actual problem.
Edit: I'm not trying to be a jerk, but if someone is ACTUALLY having problems, they actually can't make calls, drop calls where they didn't before, etc.. then there is probably a problem that can be fixed. But unless you are having those issues it is likely that the signal strength you're seeing is more accurate(EXACTLY like the apple quote I put above), they are just doing a better job of SHOWING the actual signal. Which is good, no unexpected dropped calls or BS.

Don't know if that's the case because when I so connect its fast. Just as fast as the first day of the month. I do have the 5gb plan and have never hit it. Been close but never hit it. I'm going to call just in case. You do have a good point.
Do a speedtest. If its 60 kb/s and steady, or something similar, that's your issue

Hi this worked for me. I'm stock and experienced connection issues with my wifi...sitting 2 feet from the router!!! Never had any problems connecting anything via wifi b4.
Go to settings>>wifi>>menu>>advanced. in the advanced section there is a radio button to enable Best Wi-Fi performance. Once activated I had no more connection problems.
Hope this helps.
Not sure if this might help but I changed WiFi to 2.4 GHz and like above best WiFi per. So far good

I did this and it worked for me briefly but then reverted to "authenticating" and then telling me it is the wrong access key for the network. I don't understand why it's doing this but at least for me it seems to be a 1.22 based problem as everything I've run with the prior firmware has been fine....

Your problem is different. Mine was dropping WiFi signal and then self reconnecting. Not anymore though. Your problem I have not came across. Have u tired running the ruu and reset your router?

I've reset the router multiple time and even gave my EVO a static ip to see if that would work. I guess I'll ruu and see if that will help. It's weird though.

Download 4ext recovery and use the wipe all except sd card before flashing. Cwm is extremely outdated and people are having issues like that after using it.

Check your radio version. If you're not using the .19 radios give them a shot.

Maybe try to download the Rom again. Then reflash in 4ext.

At least I have unlimited data, lol. Still would be nice to have WiFi working because we only have a weak 3G signal at our home.
Did it work before you started using that Rom? My other suggestion would be to try a different ics Rom. Sorry I wasn't able to help but you're not the only with that problem. I'm surprised that no one else hasn't tried to help.

I had the same issue, I used the tweaked combo radio that used the .19 CDMA radio, with the leaked ICS LTE radio.
Well, I don't know how or why but it works now. I got mad and took the battery out and left it for a day. When I put it back in and turned it on it was working.

Question concerning this ROM as well. My signal bars either constantly indicate 2 bars for the 4 bar version, or full for the 6 bar signal version, and nothing else unless I am not on 4G. I saw someone posted this question somewhere else about a week ago or longer but I have been unable to locate it since I have been using the ROM. My data connection is usually fine so I wasn't sure if it'd be the radio I'm using or something with the ROM and if I may need to reflash.

No Network Coverage - Res Remix Rom

Installed res remix two days ago it was working fine network coverage seemed fine... then I woke up and I had emergency calls only no signal... Tried re-flashing didn't help. Tried a stock rom and it still didn't work.. simcard works fine in friends phone, and a simcard on the network Three works fine in my phone :/ so i'm abit lost at what to do, I'm pretty new to all of this so please ignore my stupidity lol
I think it has something to do with the baseband or modem

Search the thread for a modem of your region and try a few till you get one to your liking. Takes a while for the phone to get 'used' to a new modem so even if it isn't the best at first, the signal tends to improve after about a day or so. I have never encountered problems with signal but I hope this helps

Starting last week my Comcast internet service began disconnecting intermittently, especially late afternoon through the evening. After wasting time on their website and with an online chat, I called Comcast to ask about the modem. They told me I needed an upgraded Docsis3 modem. I went to the local office yesterday, and they swapped it out @ no cost.
Switched from Arris TM602G to a SMC smcd3gnv. Not sure which type modem you switched to.
So far, no problems with the new modem. What I don't understand (well, maybe I do) is why I had to spend so much time figuring this out. Why didn't Comcast notify me first?

What router are you using? Sometimes certain phone OS's don't play nice with the certain router firmwares. I've had problems with my Netgear and my Tbolt in the past.
I am using Comcast's Technicolor TC8305C. I was told it was their newest modem/router. Works in tandem with Xfinity X1. Hated to do it, but i did a hard reset on the Thunderbolt today and so far everything is fine. It even took some of the lag away. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
