Start by getting Samsung GPS Restore from the market ,run it, and see if that helps. If not flash this GPS fix (make sure in recovery to wipe catche and wipe dalvik then flash the fix) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=546490&d=1300545407 then perform the Samsung Restore again after it boots up . If not then read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878970 . Best of luck homie

I was running Bionix Next Gen 2 for a while and my GPS was actually working really well. I always flash the S.gps anytime I use a Froyo Rom. Give it a try.

[q] problem!! I am definitely stupid!

I don't know what i have done wrong. I have a vibrant with team whiskeys nero v3 ROM. I ran a back up so that i could flash the bionix-v ROM, and now my phone will barely work. It is extremely laggy and freezes constantly. Any fixes?
Personally I would odin back to stock and start all over again with a fresh system

Wipe cache. Factory reset. Alwaus wipe when you flash. Dont install old rom data with new roms.
Use appmonster or something to backup apps.
Quicker install than market.
Remember its not just easier but its better to start new.
Load each app again. Try not to mess with data.

[Q] dark revenge question

since i am running sc 2.6 do i need to a system wipe before installing dark revenge rom since it is based on the sc module?
I did it from 2.4 and it wipes it for u
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I find that even though it does do the wipe for you, you should still do it manually. 3 times to be safe. Multiple times I have flashed a Rom after wiping once only to find half of the data still there.

Im having an issue with trying to install the darkrevenge rom. I am coming from sc 2.8 voodoo and i wiped everything it said to. I re-installed sc 2.8 just to be safe, because i was running a theme over it and wanted to start clean. I then went back in recovery and clicked on dark revenge. It goes to installing update and gets stuck on that screen. I tried this a few time with the same results. I waited 5 mins with it stuck on installing update, finally did a battery pull. Any thoughts?
Nevermind i figured it out
What was it?

major problems

yes i know their are many topics out their around shutting off phones but non are helping me.. After recently flashing back to a samsung based rom... cm7 to the unnamedrom. my phone has been shutting off randomly so i decided to flash to the shostock rom and the problem continued i have tried wiping dalvik cache, cache, and even formatted my data! nothing has worked and no im not overclocked and havent doenloaded any apps lately..
my second problem is ive tried to flash miui to my phone (the one featured in the i777 development section) and all i get is force closes left and right and thats if i dont format before flashing.. if i do format my phone gets stuck in a boot loop.. this happened before and after my phone shutting off problem..

It might be time to flash back to rooted stock, then reflash your rom of choice. A good guide is found here. I think most users have found method 2c easiest.
thank you your a life saver!

Glad to be of help. Just curiosity: which rom did you end up with?
shostock i gave up on miui lol

Bluetooth problem on cm7 stable latest

I have a Vibrant that has a KB5 modem, Glitch 1.3.1 Kernel, and CM-7 (2.3.7) stable. After a fresh install of CM7, my bluetooth won't pair (or find for that matter) any devices. I have checked with another phone and the paired to devices work fine. Everything else works great. Good mobile data , wifi, and phone reception. Just the bluetooth doesn't seem to be picking up anything. It is possible I might have restored something from another rom accidentally, but I froze what I thought might be an issue as well as was very careful (or at least I thought I was) on the restores. I also forgot to wipe cache before the install. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave
I'm not familiar with cm7 stable release but I would first start by doing a full wipe clean flash.

Did a full wipe, and cache clean, reinstall of cm7 and back to the kernel that comes with cm7 and the problem still exists.

[Q] GPS not working

I'm on SnowLeopard'sAT&T stock jellybean 20j and my GPS doesn't work. It actually hasn't worked for about a month prior while I was on SnowsJB v1.1. I've turned GPS in the settings and in the toggle but when I go to google maps and attempt to pinpoint my location I get the "Waiting for location" quickly followed by the "Your location is temporarily unavailable".
I've lived with the issue while I was on SnowJB 1.1 and figured it'd be resolved when I flashed a new ROM, but after flashing the stock ROM and its still not working, its got me concerned.
Anyone have any suggestions for what I can do to fix this?

I don't have a suggestion, but I'm a little surprised. I have been on SnowJB v1.1 for a couple months, and have never had an issue with GPS. It worked well, and locked position very quickly. I assume it worked for you when you were stock?
Yup everything was working find with stock. I should mention that I have flashed the new radio to no effect. I can also get gps through wifi.
I've even reset my GPS using GPS Status but its still not working.

Try turning on gps through settings instead of using toggles. Apparently if I use the toggles it doesn't "accept" the offer for blah blah blah.

I've done that, as well as turning on the Google Apps location access setting.

If you are using twrp recovery try cwm, it worked for user dbgeek in SlickJB thread.
I was using CWM, tried 3 different roms, flashed mako radio, JB radio, and now LGNPST....and still the gps is not working. is my phone ****ed?
It was working fine up until today when I felt like trying a new ROM, I was on snowjb, with the new modem working fine. As soon as I flashed GPS no longer works. Not even the icon comes up, like the hardware is on but not doing anything
I'm on cwm. I'm thinking I LGNPST back to stock, update via the OTA and see if that fixes things.

Go back to stock!!
Ok got it working, here is what I did.
1. Downloaded ICS modem, flashed it cleared cache/factory reset/system
2. installed slick rom v2 (slick rom is the only one that has worked, tried a couple others with this method)
3. at this point, the gps icon was flashing but not locking, either way a good start. So I went into cwm, cleared cache, factory reset again and flashed the at&t jb modem
4. Reboot, viola it works.
I don't know why it'sd not working on nocturnal or snow's rom. Hope this helps.

I LGNPST my phone to 11c then OTA'd to 20j, completely stock and its still not working. I've got all the GPS settings on but everytime I use google maps and press the locate icon, I get the "Waiting for location" then "Your current location is temporarily unavailable"

I cannot thank you enough for this! I tried almost everything but this actually got my gps to work again!!! Thank you so freaking much!!!! You need to make like another thread so that others can see this and not lose hope like I almost did!
*All this done on CWMR Touch*
ICS Modem:

Slickv2:

After you get it working on Slickv2, you can restore your back up, hopefully you made one, then you re-flash the JB modem and you should be all set!!
Note: When I restored my back up, I advanced restored everything but cache. Don't know if this makes a difference or not.

I did all that and still no joy with the GPS. Are you sure you only have GPS enabled? I can get location lock when I have the get location from wifi and mobile networks, not with GPS alone.

Yeah same for me. GPS worked on Slick, then flashed back to Rootbox and it didn't work. Waste of time but at least maybe this info is helpful to find a solution for all.
