GPS not working - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

My GPS has suddenly stopped working. At first its due to cloudy weather, but even in clear weather its not working. I have tried many apps like GPS test but every app fails to get my location. Any ideas on how to fix?
Thanks in advance
PS: I'm running samsung's stock rom 2.2.

Hey,
Thanks for the reply. I downloaded SGS toolbox.
There was one GPS Test Menu clicking there it opened GPSTestMenu. I was unable to find any option "GPS Fix". But yeah there was an option test gps. i tried that but after 2-3 minutes it was still checking so i exited from there. and GPS is still not working.

UPDATE: pulled different version and confirmed working as well.
whats the message?, error parsing package?
have you tried installing via ADB?
no rush, I can wait for an update.

working now
adb gives error: parse failed no certificates.
oh well, wouldnt have used it much anyway, just wanted to try it. I will wait until they support our device.
If you want to try to run it, you might try using APK tool or somethinr and signing it yourself, or If your handy with code, create a flashable update-zip, that allows you to bypass this error.
Thanks again
Works great on my stock 347.
Download and install HBO GO (v1.0301) from the Market. Pick your provider and sign in. Sign up HBO GO (if you haven't).
You can suspend 3G and limit to Wi-Fi only in the Video Playback option under Settings/Preferences.

Can you hint where you found that one?
And just an FYI, it's in the market on official ROM's.
[edit] modifying build.prop to 1.8 series of streakdroid build.prop will show HBO GO in the market. [/edit]

Just drop it on /system/app ? Do I need to fix any of the permissions?
Or should I install the apk?

Are you sure it is safe?
Can there be malicious code or spyware in it?
It comes from someone in China?
PS I am asking because it does not come from someone we know. Sounds like you found this on a Chinese website.
PPS I actually am a bit excited that a solution has been found.

Just use 3 days only, No problem
Works good. Removes annoying sim card message but it messes up lock screen shortcuts. It puts default shortcuts back in and it won't allow you to change them. I'm on 4.03.605.2. You could ask the guy in China to fix it, maybe?

OK thanks. So are you fixing the "Idlescreen_Base.odex" he uploaded because I only found "Idlescreen_Base.apk in system/app.
I'm running Nils' Business ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 if that makes a difference.

Nils' Rom is deodexed, so there will not be any odex files in it.
Deodexing combines the apk with the associated odex file.

Nice now if I could just get the 3G or 4G instead of this edge I might keep Simple Mobile for a spell
I'm using Nils 3.6 business Rom and this fix worked perfect for me, thx a lot. I just put bak on the one in system/apps and with root explorer I copied the modded one there and changed permissions to match and owners to 0 then reboot and it works perfect.

My Net App

Forgive me first off if this post exists somewhere else in this forum. I have looked with very little result. I recently rooted my device Cm-10.1 all went well. What I am missing or was not included was the My Net app from the tablet. A lot of people said you could find it on the ASUS site .. ummm NO unless I missed it. Could someone attach that APP to this post please.
here it is, idk if it runs on cm10, i pulled it from the cleanrom! maybe the asus apps dont run on cm10? try and tell me!
if you need the other Apps :

I am wondering how you got it to install. I am using CM 10.1 night 2013-0101-Nightly. I have tried it on several other versions as well and it will not install is this by chance a permissions issues ?
How are yoiu installing it? You will need to push to system/app manually and change permissions yourself I would imagine.

I just realized I never answered your question. I am pushing it to the download section and then just clicking on it to install it there I will pushing it over to the system/app section and doing it from there

Doubt that will work.
Here I have made an installer for you - try flashing this. I suspect it won't work on anything but a stock based rom due to some reliance on Asus framework files.
Let me know how you get on.

I know this might sound strange but since you are back to full unrooted stock, why not call Sprint tech support and see what they say? I am at a loss for ideas at this point. I wish I could help you further.
I doubt you've tried EVERY ROM out there,
For example, my ROM has it as long as you don't go flashing random themes and files onto your phone.

L9 Wi-Fi directory files

Hi all
Can someone please upload the 'etc\wifi' directory files here?
I've installed Open Garden app from Store (to manage the thetering) and I've granted it root rights, then program tried to install some specific file and my Wifi didn't worked since then.
If I would put back the original files than issue would be solved.
Thx a lot,
Model is P760.
