Hello to all,
I've been looking on this forum, searched for everything I wanted, and always get an answer, but this time I need to ask some experts here. As the title says the gps don;t want to get fix even on clear sky and without any building around. I used many programs one of it is "gps status" where are shown 0/11 fix, basicaly there are 11 satelites available I believe. I have tried almost all the roms available in the development section but none of them worked, even the cm7. Used another firmware and there is fix to this. If I use the original samsung rom untouched the gps is working normaly. Please let me know what I doing wrong?
Thanks,

try fasterfix from the market.maybe it would help
Well for some reason my gps is working now, what I've done is flashing with odin a multiple file (my chose was a froyo firmware) the I flash with odin the latest ks9 one package file, working great even with cm7.2, got fix in 19 sec for me is great (also using the gps config from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320626
Thanks
Guys before you change the base band and all try Faster fix from the market.. worked for me.. now the gps gets locked in few seconds.. really useful app.. and also I recommend maps v5.8.. most of the time other versions gave me force closes when using navigation.. Hope this helps..
my gps always shoes "your current location is temporarily unavailable"
So i was trying to Root my Samsung and I think i miss-understood the operations and processes.
Samsung Galaxy S2
Kernel 2.3.6
Downloaded SGH-I777-ATTGalaxyS2RootStockZedomaxKernel.tar
Installed, no problems, all good, but no wifi... freaking out.
Searched the Forum... found there was an issue.
Attempted to reload the stock kernel StockKernel-PDA.tar
Installed, no problems, back to 2.6.35.7 Gingerbread.UCKK6
But Wifi will not enable....
Kinda freaking out as Dont understand how the Zedomax and Stockkernel are 6/8mb... but the rest of the post are talking about a 200/300mb file which needs to be downloaded...
Just looking for help on how to get back WiFi?...
read thru: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
...If you bootloop or things behave wacky, enter 3e recovery (stock kernel means stock recovery) and do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset. If you are reverting from UCKK6 back to UCKH7 you MUST perform this step or wifi will not work.
I Did not go from UCKK6 to UCKH7... i don't think?? So any help on what i need to do would be awesome!
AT&T is the carrier.
Also without having to 100% wipe and re-install.
You need to find the "Return to stock" thread and go from there.
Zedo's kernel is ancient, it will not provide wifi with UCKK6 system images.
Only my kernel, the UCKK6 stock kernel, and (maybe, not sure) SiyahKernel will provide wifi with UCKK6.
Kernels are <8 MB. 300MB = full kernel and system image restore.
My guess is you flashed a UCKH7 stock kernel.
Found a return to stock thread and it mentions a RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_2 6.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe as well as a pd98img.zip which are also both 290MB...
Found another thread for Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH, KI, KJ, KK1/2/5, KL1/2/3, LA2 Download but none are for USA/AT&T.
There are a LOT of thread on this and i have been reading thru as many as i can...
If the Stock Kernel or Entropy512 Stock kernel File name or description can be posted i can do the update thru odin...
On the Zedomax, i saw that after i flashed... never blindly trust youtube =(

Of the items you mentioned, NONE are for this device.
I suggest searching a bit more methodically - look in this forum subsection, and look at the sticky threads in the General and Development forums. Threads are made sticky for a reason.
Hello ALL!!! Thank you for your help...

Seriously, if someone can't distinguish which phone they actually own or what forum they should be in, why are they even trying to flash it? What is wrong with some people?

SHOstock2 v1.3 works well with WiFi if you want a custom ROM (ICS).
I was using UnNamed v2.2.1 and it was very stable, but I wanted to try Ics, so I'm now using the AOKP 4.0.4 but I'm having issues with the Gps, still doing some tests, if I dont find any, then I'll move to SHOstock2 v1.3

Sounds like it could be hardware failure. To test that, flash back to straight stock followed by a wipe data/factory reset from 3e recovery. If the problem persists, then it is either a problem with your phone hardware, or a problem with the available wifi router signal. You can test the latter by trying to connect on different routers.

Thanks for your response.
I dont want to belive that my hardware is broken.
But i flashed again my SGH-I777, and the problem persists.
My wifi just says "Turning on" when I push button, and it never boosts again.
I changed the kernel and the rom. I restored to old factory settings, and nothing works.
I would like to get back my wifi.
i appreciate your opinions about this issue.
WIFI suddenly stopped
My WIFI also suddenly stopped working
on 7-1-13 I installed aokp_i777_ota-eng-task650_6.24.2013 worked for a month
Yesterday the WIFI stopped connecting. Got a constant "Turning on Wi-Fi" message but nothing else
I installed aokp_JB_i777-ota-eng.task650-ktoonsez-11.20.2012 which I had been running for the last 6 months
Same problem
I did a full wipe. Wiped cache, data, dalvik. Did a fresh install, then wiped cache, dalvik and fix permissions.
Same
a i9100 thread linked a video of a leaking battery inside that disabled wifi
took phone apart, no obvious signs of hardware failure (have pics)
used odin3 v1.85 with ATTGalaxyS2Unroot_SGH-i777.tar to unroot
wifi will turn on scan for a minute then turn off -- will not find any AP
router working fine with my other i777
anything i missed?

hey brother, first of all, your wifi is not damage fisically. But you are in the same situation that i was.
my SGH-I777 is working very well after too much work with it.
i gave my cellphone to my little brother, and two days later he told that the wifi was working fine.
i made this face O_O i couldnt believe what he was saying.
right now i dont know, how he resolved the problem, the only things that he did was change the OS i guess.
i will call him tomorrow to ask about the solutions, but man, dont worry too much coz you just like my brother, will resolve the problem
It is not hardware...
found another thread that suggests FXR WiFi fixer app from play store.
Ran it on the the AOKP JB 4.1.2 from 11.20.20102
seemed to solve issue -- connected to wifi but lost connection after ~30 min
same issue -- constant "Turning WiFi on" message.
ran FXR again -- connects temporarily then loses connectivity
same thing every time i run FXR
should i use a different ROM?
which one?
any help is GREATLY appreciated
Thanks
mike

You could ask in the AOKP thread if there are others experiencing wifi issues with that rom. If not, a fresh install of the rom may solve the issue. It definitely sounds like a firmware issue, but when there is any question whether the issue is firmware or hardware, the test is to flash back to stock and see how it works. As far as which firmware to use, there are a number of different firmware that are completely stable. You should read through the developer threads, and then try them out to see how you like them.
I recently installed WanamLite V7.7 XXLP6 Android 4.0.3 Final LP6 on my phone, but the signal was awful, so i tried to install [KERNEL] SpeedMod SGS2 [K2-20 CWM5 CIFS ROOT], hoping that it would fix my problems with the signal.
After that, the phone is permanetly stuck on the Samsung logo and won't go any further. I tried to re-flash the ROM but the problem is still there.
After that I've tried to fix the problem by following instructions on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499, but still nothing.
Can someone please help me to fix this problem?
Thanks for your time
I think that you need to do a restore or to flash a gingerbread rom before the ics one... Speedmod is not for ics roms...
Sent from my Galaxy S II powered by CheckROM
You said you followed pulsar's "boot loop" thread... so does that mean you cleared cache, wiped data, factory reset, all that?
Also, a future FYI. Kernels will never address your problems with phone signal. Flashing modems will, but kernels, never.
However, they might affect wi-fi signal, as some kernels have wi-fi drivers included.
Thanks for your responses. I';ve managed to fix my problem by flashing a gingerbread rom. After that i had major signal issues. I've flashed the main modem for my S2 (ki4) but i'm still facing the same issues. Any ideas how to fix the signal problem?
....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Or have just not a clue what they installed .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
jje
Try different modems until you find one that works well for you. That's what I and many other people on here have done. This is one thread with CW flashable modems (there are others, search), there are other threads on here (search) with Odin flashable modems if you prefer to use that.
i tried many... right now i'm using XLP6 which shows -93dBm but still when i'm on the phone, 90% the connection is lost and the phone hangs up
I've found that how well a modem works for you depends on where you live and service provider. For me, in Germany on T-mobile I've found XXKI3 to have the best results (with CM7)
I would be trying the modem that came with the phone .
jje
im also running wanamlite 7.7 but with the LP6 kernel...and indeed the kernel has nothing to do with signal levels
i did change the modem to XXKPA and the battery, signal has improved a lot so im sticking with it, my phone originally came with KK1 which kinda sucked even with stock rom
so follow the link they gave you and try the modem untill you find one that suits your needs
by the way, before flashing stuff you should read what is made for what rom so you can avoid bricks/bootloops
I've been having this issue for a few days now and I haven't been able to solve it myself. I've been using a GB rom for the past few months (this one and it's always been working fine. Still, I wanted to try ICS so I got myself to install CM9 on the device, and while I was at it, updated the baseband to 72. However, since then, I've been unable to connect to Wifi. I can see Wifi networks, but as soon as I try to connect it gets stuck on "Connecting". I tried flashing other ICS roms and restoring the baseband, nothing works. Yesterday I put the rom back that I've been using succesfully over the past months but still no difference.
When I scan for networks, they appear fine. Reception is good, but as soon as it tries to connect the icon changes to the icon for poor reception. It doesn't matter what network I pick. Other devices running Android have no problem connecting.
Does anyone have an idea what might cause this issue? Is there any way to get a logging of the Wifi to see what exactly goes wrong? Any troubleshooting steps I could take? Your help would be very much appreciated
edit: forgot to mention, with CM9 I used the CM9 kernel, with other roms I use Rage kernel
in exactly the same situation as above, except it was all working just fine until a couple of hours ago. now suddenly the router that's sitting right in front of me, giving full signals has turned into a "poor connection"!!!
i'm on CM9 with CM9 kernel and the recommended baseband
especially suspicious is the facebook application that just got updated when it was working fine a couple of hours or so back. hasn't worked since that update

Flashed the Wifi module, did a factory reset and it's connected! Thank you so much :laugh:
my problem solved as well. i didn't read rachit.rc96's reply so i solved it the hard way
was previously on baseband 72, flashed baseband 64 then 72 back again, no luck, went back to gingerbread, rooted then was able to connect to only one of my routers, the other one wasn't even showing up then flashed stock ics rooted that, now able to connect to both routers.
was that a problem with cm9 i wonder. or what?
Hi guys, I just flashed my p7500 to cm10.1 and everything went pretty smoothly. But now I can't get an internet connection via 3G or wifi, and my tab's bluetooth doesn't seem to be able to pick up anything either. I've tried wiping data, cache and dalvik cache, fixing permission, flashing my bootloader and modem, etc. but nothing seems to be working.
It says Mobile Network State "disconnected" and MDN "unknown". I think I have to flash my modem with the correct file as the one provided by droidbasement isn't working properly on mine.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thank you.

Did you flash the nightly? What build are you running? Bluetooth was fixed. Check out the nightly discussion thread, I posted that you should be using the modem on droidbasement for best results. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074202
Hi, thanks for the response.
I was running the 01012013 nightly but as of now I'm running the 02012013 one with the modem.bin file from pershoot's website.
I just can't get an internet connection for some reason. I even flashed it with the 4.0.4 stock ROM and still can't get my internet back. I think it's because I accidentally flashed my modem with a modem.tar file in Odin under the PDA tab instead of the modem.bin file under the phone tab. Is there a way I can fix this?
Thanks again.

So when you flashed the stock ROM, did you ODIN flash or use a CWM zip? Did the modem.tar contain the modem.bin? As far as I know, the tar should have worked but I have a wifi only so I have not flashed modems. Try using Mobile ODIN and see if that helps.
Hi NakedNinja42,
I used odin to flash back to the stock rom, was I supposed to use CWM?
After I flashed it back to the stock rom, I then flashed to the 02/01/2013 nightly, now my bluetooth and wifi are working again, but my 3G is still not connecting. I'm also having trouble getting my PC to recognize my tab as a storage device, but strangely Odin still works.
Again, thanks for helping, I really appreciate it.
Problem solved. Flashed it back to Honeycomb 3.2 and now 3G is back.
