Hi all and thank you for your advice in advance.
I have recently updated my Samsung Galaxy S2 to Resurrection Remix Pro 1.1 and have installed the latest Siyah Kernel 3.0.1.
I don't remember trying the GPS on the stock kernel so not sure if it worked before installing Siyah Kernel on RR1. GPS just can't get a lock.
I have tried fastfix and installing a zip which does the same thing to switch to the correct server (UK) however I just cant get a lock.
Please help, I have a trip coming up in the car and need the GPS for the Sat Nav.
Try the AGPS patch in my sig. Also, get GPS Status from Google Play. When you install it, make sure you're outside with a relatively clear view of the sky & that you have data switched on. Go into tools in GPS Status & "manage AGPS state". Then reset AGPS data, and download fresh data/ephemeris.
Then wait until you get a lock with a bunch of satellites (could take up to 10 mins the first time). Once you've done that, you should get a lock fairly quickly thereafter. If you find locking starts to slow down again, after days/weeks/months or whatever, reset data/redownload data again & give it that time to 'learn' where the satellites are again.

AGPS Patch Galaxy S II 3.1 & 2.2 | GET BACK TO RAPID GPS LOCK, CAN LOCK ONTO MORE SAT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447599
Thank you so much for the help. Got it working now. Used the push option as CWM wouldn't install the AGPS fix due to error code 0. Installed the google version 3.1 and used the GPS status app and got 5 of 6 satellites just holding my phone near a window (it's raining out atm so didn't want to take my phone outside!).
Thanks again.

Hello to all...
I have a sprint touch pro (raphael) and so far its was working perfectly but all of a sudden the phone resets itself after 10-20sec. after getting a GPS lock in google maps and Tomtom 7. recently Tomtom says no GPS device...
Well I backup the registry every couple of apps/tweaks i install... but even when i restored the registry from when it was working fine... still the self reset issue occurs.
any idea as to what gives???
I did recently install bike dashboard and i think that was the culprit... even after uninstalling it, and restoring previous registry, the phone still is experiencing the same issue.
Keep in mind that if I dont use any software using GPS... the phone works fine!
I want to see If i can troubleshoot the issue before I hard reset it (then I'll have to waste a whole day just resetting it and installing all the apps/tweaks to get it back to what it was before)
ur not alone.
instead of telling you what to do, im going to direct you to this forum.
there is a quick and easy fix, but it hit alot of people last week.
heres the forum.

its happened to me, & others i know. flash a new updated radio & it should fix your problems.
I had the same issue... I just updated the ROM to the latest official Sprint Rom from their website & all is well. Your mileage may vary.
yea updating the stock rom will include the radio they included in the rom package. any custom roms dont flash a new radio. so flash a new radio & you'll be good =]
Bought a T mobile HD2 (unlocked) second hand with energy rom installed.
Got it home & I find that the wifi & bluetooth are not working.
It picks up the network signal fine & the data connection is working fine.
But the wifi turns on & will not pick up anything.
The bluetooth it seems does not discover & is not discoverable.
I suspected it may be somthing to do with the rom so I loaded up a stock T mobile rom with the same results.
I have updated the radio with the same results.
The phone has Hspl loaded & I am wondering if I could do a complete cleanout of everything including Hspl & reload a completly vanilla stock Rom would that help.
I have fiddled with all the settings for both wifi & bluetooth & still no results.
At this point I need help!!!!
Run a task 29 then the stock rom of your choice, check the radio installed is compatable with the rom, hard reboot after completing the rom flash (its a good idea to do that first as well in case you don't need to run a 29 or flash)

I've the same problem ...I suppose.
I used a Touch Pro in the last two years and Energy ROMs since September 2009. I never had problems with Wi-Fi an Bluetooth.
Recently I bought a HD2 and tried Bloutooth and Wi-Fi only after 1 week.
So, both the Touch Pro and the HD2 got the same ROM (Energy ROM) flashed , each by its own version, but two days ago I discovered WiFi not working (DISCOVERED, because I never tried it before)
The problem seems an extremely poor signal seen on the on screen meter, only if I'm close to the router (1-2 meters!) I couldn't establish a real connection, because the HD2 loss the signal every 30-40 seconds.
Bothered about this I tried with Touch Pro: the result is the same!
So I concluded: "It's the ROM!". Strange (never had problems with Energy ROMs) but possible. I flashed the stock ROM on the HD2: the issue remains. So I thought about the RADIO, and I flashed the RADIO 2.12.50.02 (compatible with ROM). The issue is still here.
I used Task 29 before another flash, then I tried an Artemis ROM with RADIO 2.12.50.02... nothing changed. (note that I tried almost every different settings about Wi-Fi,from BsB tostandard enhance settings)
Last (related?) issue: when I try a hard reset, the progress bar starts to "move" but after 3-4 seconds (about a third of the bar) the bar disappears and I got the "Press VolUp button" message. Then the phone has the first boot... but I wonder if the HR is complete, because it seems yes.
Finally I came to this thread and... another doubt: what about BT?
I tried both the Touch Pro and the HD2 Bluetooths but they can't connect or recognize each other (every "Find" and "Visible" options activated)
I didn't try yet with Touch Pro (flash etc.) but I am very bothered and dubious about it.

WIFI & Bluetooth
Thus far I have run task 29
Reinstalled a stock T-mobile rom
But no luck wifi & bluetooth still not working properly.
Decided to go right back to the very beginning & uninstalled HSPL by loading the stock Rom from the SD card
Stock rom would not upload & i am getting the SPL 1.42.0000 Screen plus "Upgrade Rom code error please try again"
The question I have now is which is the proper stock Rom for this T mobile HD2 & how do I find that out?

Sorry I can't help about this.
We are alone in this thread!
wifi & bluetooth
I think your right.
Ah well, at least I have a very expensive doorstop!
You are not alone. I am experiencing the exact same problem and have yet to find an answer.
Task 29 didn't help and reflashing the radio the traditional way (even with the stock rom) doesn't seem to overwrite whatever is causing this problem.
Would uninstalling the hspl do anything? I am running out of ideas.
Recently i unlocked HD2, and since then, gps does not detecting any satellites.
I use 2 navigation programs, Igo8 and Destinator 8 and 9, and all of them displays connection with gps, but i waited more than 2 hours to find satellites...both of them found nothing.
I'm running stock rom 3.14.482.2 and flashed the 2.15.50.14 radio but still nothing.
Any ideas?

Do you have a clear view of the sky? And you could also try more gps applications but try to do it with a clear view of the sky if you haven't.Hope this helps.
I tried more than once. Also downgrade radio to 2.14 version but still no progress.

O.K. This should solve your problem. Upgrade your radio back to 2.15.50.14. After that, download and install the attached file on your phone. Make sure you install it TO YOUR PHONE and NOT SD CARD. Then run the app, download data, then run your gps app. You should be good to go. Hope this helps.
Tried ....nothing again...
I would try a task 29 then reinsall the rom, its likely just a software glitch
Go to GPS settings and mark "managed by windows" or something my rom is in spanish, then run quick GPS, and try first whit Google Maps if u have 8 Sat´s+ the GPS work Fine, if u dont want to configure GPS flash AKIRA ROM WWE is ready for use iGo 8 (That i have) ;D

Hello, had the same problem with my HD2. My phone was having an Eastern Europe type of ROM (Poland 1.48.479.1). After I've put the HSPL, I updated the phone to the latest Radio (2.15.50.14) and a custom ROM, i did see that GPS didn't work. In trying to resolve the problem, I installed a lot radios and OS's (custom Windows, SD Androids, NAND Androids, etc), but GPS didn't seem to work in the right parameters (there were sometimes when it worked for few seconds after waiting about 5 minutes). Then i decided to turn back cu SPL, and install the original stock Windows from the HTC site. Now the GPS seem to work fine. The Radio version is 2.05.51.05_2. Hope it works for your phone too.
Another problem that i noticed, is that when i'm starting Destinaror, appears a message that says
"Bluetooth connection is not possible. Please check that bluetooth connections are active and then try again"
What is this? Is this the problem generator?
Hi, I finally decided to post my question after many hours searching trough google and xda.
Two weeks ago like many of you I uptdated my x10 to pre-rooted 2.3.3 stock Rom. At this moment I successfully tested wifi hotspot and usb tethering built in fonctions.
But Recently I tried to use it again but any time I checked the option, Android activate it for a second, an then says me "error" under the option name. Usb tehter can't be reactived at all and wifi hotspot can be checked but always uncheck himslef with the error subtitle.
Anyone facing this issue or know where it can come from ? And maybe the fix of course ^^.
Hope I made my self clear because actually I'm french.

I use Baracle to solve the issue with wifi tethering
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.szym.barnacle&feature=search_result
Yeah this is the solution I used to adopte when was on 2.1. And it was the best until the update.
But as far as what I tested when built-in tether worked it's clearly better. Not just an Ah-hod network but a real hotspot. Basically it's easier for other devices to connect and remember the password without configuring everything especially on windows.
And the usb option was even better, nothing to configure, no password, battery charging during tethering.
Anyway thank for the advice, until I get the solution I'll probably continue to use this app.
When you say "solve the problem with wifi tethering", do you mean you have the same one ?

Please, no one else, am I the only one facing the issue ? Even on an other device maybe ?
Finally I used SEUS to repare and root it like azazu said. Everything is back. Didn't find any other solution

I have the same problem and it never has been working from the start ! but USB tethering has no problem. The only way to fix it is to re-flash ?
Well I guess this is the best until someone more expert than us find a solution. I made a reparation with SEUS (sony ericsson update service) and then restore all back with Titanium Backup. Remember to save your contacts and sms before (cause Titanium doesn't). It only took one hours to get it all back just like before (root, bravia, Xloud, fps uncap...)
Hotspot error UNSOLVED 2012-02-01
Here's what I've done so far. I've suffered from this issue on two different Samsung Galaxy TAB's 7" (1 generation), two different Samsung Galaxy S2, two different HTC Desire HD, one ZTE Blade.
This issue is NOT caused by:
*Manufacture of phone
*Internet Service Provider (ISP)
*Operator
*Bluetooth ON/OFF
*root ON/OFF
*Stock Kernel
*Mod Kernel
*Stock Rom
*Mod Rom
*Stock Modem
*Mod Modem
*Android version: 2.3+ has this issue. (I've experienced a different issue on 4.0+; the Hotspot is up running although no device can connect to it.)
The only solution I've found is:
(From Clockwork Recovery):
Wipe Data(system reset)
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
Format Cache
Format Data
Format System
-Install a Rom (try a different one from what you are using right now).
Reboot
RESULT:
Hotspot working fine....for a while..
When it stops working; you'll have to do the steps above again. Install a different ROM, now you probably can return to your previously ROM which had this issue first. It will probably work. If it doesn't, switch ROM till you find one that works. Sometimes, total randomly; you will be able to use ROMS which this issue has been present earlier.
Yet, this is NOT a permanent solution. You will, no exceptions, experience this issue, on whatever ROM, modem, kernel, stock, not stock, phone, whatever, whatever you choose.
Here's one scenario which I couldn't figure out:
Galaxy TAB 7" 1st generation.
Android 2.3.4
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
WIPE/FORMAT
RE-Flashed Same Rom
*HOTSPOT WORKING*
1 hour later
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
WIPE/FORMAT
RE-Flashed Same Rom
*HOTSPOT WORKING*
5-10 minutes later
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
WIPE/FORMAT
RE-Flashed Same Rom
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
?????
I've also noticed that USB tethering is affected by this issue aswell.
If you have it working, congratulations! Use it while it lasts, nothing stays forever.

Hey everyone,
after i updated my SGS 2 to ICS 4.0.3 and installed the FoxHound GreyFox V2 my phone gets no GPS signal anymore and i can´t turn GPS on or off, only if i reboot after i changed the settings.
Anyone else with such a problem or any solutions for it?
Does the GPS work in other applications, like in GPS Test?
Start posting in the correct thread and GPS will start working,ur GPS will even tell u were to post too
With GPS Test it works, but with Navigon for example it doesn´t work
I am not sure if this will help but its an app which helps you to find your location faster. It called FasterFix. Search it.
If this does not work then u can test other navigation apps...
Thanks GPS works now, but i still can´t turn it off or on without rebooting the phone
Flash stock rom and test if it fails then its the custom rom you are using .
jje
okay i will try
