I've just freshly rooted and installed CM7.1 RC1.6.1 with the MR2 radio. Part of the know issues seems to be slow GPS fix, but I can't seem to get a fix at all. The GPS symbol doesn't show at all on the status bar and gps status app doesn't do anything either. Am I missing something or is this normal?
Flash a rom with working GPS and turn it on. get a fix and leave it on, reboot into recovery and flash CM7.
Nothing yu did its a bug

before you do all that, try installing the gps toolbox app in the market and run that if you have not. May or may not solve the problem, but it will take less time.

So does this mean the GPS will be stuck on inside CM7?
I have same prob and with cm7 the above solution works I get lock within 3 seconds. It will work as normal. I used bamf 4.9 to get lock. Then restored my cm7

First off i asked this in the roms thread but no one would help so... This is my favorite Rom. It runs flawlessly except Gps. When i go on Google.com or Google earth i see the Gps in the notification bar trying to find the location but it always says after a while location cannot be found. everytime.

I had the same problem in macnut r10.
I dled GPS Test app, I set the app to keep the phone awake. Then let it run for 20 mins straight. rebooted and GPS was significantly better. Not as good as some of the 2.1 roms but usable.
K i just put Eugenes jk2 on my phone and GPS still doesn't work.. It worked on stock before i ever flashed any custom rom so wtf. I know a lot of roms i used before this past week didn't have the drivers but now they do and still can't find location....
Try what I suggested.
This weekend i tried to use my gps with google maps and it wasnt working at all. I did come across this video on youtube for making the gps work im not sure if this would work for teh thunderbbolt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fqn_G1xzeY
Cm7 is kind of old IMO....... I would use a different Rom such as thunderstick or bamf..... I'm using thunderstick and never had a problem with gps

Ill take a look into that but so far this is the best rom I have used with no issues minus the gps. I would really love to try and fix the gps otherwise I can live without the gps navigation that isnt working. Most other roms ive used battery life isnt as great as ive seen using this.
I believe i have read somewhere on here that if you boot into recovery and make a backup of your ROM you can then restore an earlier sense room. Once restored lock the Gps in using maps or gps status from the market. Once it's locked boot directly back into recovery and restore your backup you just made and Gps should now work.

I installed cm10 7/26 but I get WiFi and 3g turn off every few seconds. I saw a post about this before but they didn't explain how they fixed it. I have tryed other cm10 versions but I get a error in cwm when trying to flash them. Has any one else had this problem?

Ok I am back on stock from this tread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831040
Is there away to get cm9 or cm 10 to work properly?
Is there away to flash back to HC as that is was seems to be the problem?
Any advice?
I found it. It's on this page goo.something is the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787399
Most stable to date but anything linked to requirement of a Mic doesn't work.
With older build to fix loop just pull out SIM and turn off 3g for now. WiFi will then work. It's what I'm doing to test out Google voice search

I recently flashed cyanogenmod 10.1 on my Verizon DROID dna and now my gps doesn't connected. So I downloaded gps fix app and it shows zero satellites. I also tried just unchecking wifi and Mobil data location and that didn't so anything either. Please help. I love the mod but gps is important

Install CM. Make a nandroid.
Install a sense based rom.
Set it up, get a GPS lock.
Boot straight into recovery.
Restore CM backup.
Enjoy.
