[Q] GPS Problem - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Having a strange problem with my Verizon 4G LTE 10.1. When I boot the tablet the satellite GPS works but as soon as I turn on wifi it stops working. If I then turn off wifi it continues *not* to work until I reboot.
I have installed GPS Test app from the market and when it is not working it will occasionally see one or two satellites but will not ever see enough to get a fix.
Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?
Thanks

[Q] Gps and Wifi are not friends

Situation:
I have recently flashed the modaco r5 for hero 2.1. I noticed that my GPS was not working, but it has always been a bit iffy. Doing some research I read that I needed the Mobile Network (use phone for data connection when WIfi is unavailable) checked. Without turning on wifi, my GPS worked excellently, fixed to 8 satellites in a second.
Problem:
I turned on my wifi, but b/c of the Mobile Network option, I think it switches to Wifi as its primary data source and neglects the GPS. So the GPS does not work until I turned off the wifi.
Question:
I know people usually don't use GPS and Wifi together, but is there a way to get them both working together?
Thanks everyone and much appreciated!

[Q] WiFi on, connected, full strength and not sending anything.

So I have my Fascinate running CM7 with the Glitch Kernel, no OC, just for the stock UV, the problem I have is that I can connect to WiFi, everything seems fine and then a few minutes later everything stops loading, as if there was no connection. turning off WiFi and turning it back on helps about 80% of the time but still an issue, the reason this is so big is that at my house we have no reception at all, Verizon sent us a Network Extender but it simply does not work on any phone and I know for a fact that my Network is fine. (We have twin N600s one routing one access point) Additionally the issue is at the local college as well. Any help? Is there an issue with CM7 or the Glitch kernel?
I am having the exact same problem. For example, market will stick at "Loading..." while on wifi but when I turn wifi off, my 3g connection will load market fine. It's so weird because I have full wifi signal and it is definitely not my router. It didn't start until I flashed the glitch kernel. Has to be something there. Maybe there is a workaround?
Im running glitch v13 and wifi works great. sometimes after a reboot ill have to toggle it off/on...

I had that Market problem and it disappeared when I got a new router. A full reset/wipe of router may have fixed it also. Happened on 2 CM7 phones (Droid2 and Fascinate), but not a stock 2.3 Droid2.
On my CM7 Fascinate, I usually also have to toggle wifi after reboot.

Optimus L9 Wi-Fi problem .

I have an LG Optimus L9 P765 (Indian variant) with Stock ROM v10d on it.
WiFi on my set seems to be misbehaving. It connects to my network and works fine for sometime, but when I leave it unused for about say 5 minutes the mobile does not connects with my WiFi network.
In notification bar it shows that it is connected but actually there is no data transfer occurring.
Its very irritating as I don't get instant emails, whatsapp chats etc.
Is anybody else facing the same problem ? Please suggest any remedy for this problem.
Yeah, same problem here.
I've got an Indian P765 with V10d stock ROM as well. If left idle for sometime, the wi-fi seems to be connected but no data transfer occurs.
The small upward pointing triangle is shown on the wi-fi icon in the notification area, but the data transfer LED of the wi-fi modem doesn't blink, and so no webpage loads.
But if the wi-fi is being used continously, the problem doesn't occur.
Looking forward to a solution, thanks.
Edit: Reduced the Beacon Interval of the Wi-Fi modem to 100ms. The data connection is maintained now.
Problem solved. The phone's working fine afterall.
Before that happens go into wifi settings press the menu button hot advanced and turn the wifi sleeping policy off that is all that I can suggest

Beacon Interval of my WiFi modem is already 100ms.
Problem still persists.
Any solution anybody.
The only solution for now is to change WiFi sleep policy to Never instead of Always in WiFi settings.
But that turns on Mobile data or 3G (which ever you have) which is more battery consuming.
And there's no point of keeping a smartphone offline by disabling either WiFi or Mobile data.
P769BK has a different wifi issue. All 6 of mine have had this same issue.
Enable wifi and use if for a few hours.If wifi router looses internet access and you try to download an MMS it fails.
Disable wifi and try downloading MMS via cellular network it fails. Airplane mode toggle does not work.
A reboot is required to fix this. Very irritating when connected to a wifi network that has a bad connection.
Don't even get me started with wifi-calling. It just plain sucks on 4.x ROMs.
I use WidgetSoid which gives WIFI and 3G icon (also called power switches) on Home Screen and reconnecting is just a HALF SECOND deal for me. Its even quickly re-connectable from WiFi PowerSwitch in Notification Panel.
By the way, I did not notice this issue on my P765 (india) L9. Works well with Vodafone Mumbai 3G, and WiFi always connected even after idle time upto 2 hours mostly at home. Like they always say, results may vary.
Problem: WiFi is not useable
Hey Guys,
i've got a huge problem. I can't switch my WiFi on. The problem exists since a few months and I've tried to fix that by myself but my knowledge about programming is quite small. Please help me. WiFi is one of the most important functions. Is sendng it to LG-Support the only way to get that fixed?
Pls Pls Pls HELP ME!

hi friend,
You already managed to solve your problem?. I have a similar problem, did the bootload and installed cyanongenmod 10.2 for P760 and everything worked perfectly, after I turn off my smartphone realized I was not connecting the wifi and even tapping the power button it does not turn on, put your smartphone in order factory original and still the problem continues.
Can someone help me?

4.2.2 and wifi

I got the 4.2.2 leak to make my freezing go away, and so far it is working. But something works differently on wifi now. As I move around, it is constantly connecting to weak unsecured wifi networks, say from stores for example. It is very annoying because the networks often don't work, and they cause mobile data to turn off so I have to turn off wifi to be able to use internet. Then I get home and I have to remember to turn it back on.
Anyone else having problems with this? Is there a way to fix it? After fighting with the freezes for a long time, I really don't want to "rock the boat" and flash another ROM right now.
Thanks!
