I flashed the Seraphim ICS rom with a full wipe and it works beautifully so far except I cannot get a lock on any satellites in GPS Status. It sees 23 sats but does not lock on any of them. I have rebooted and managed AGPS state within GPS Staus. I searched and did not see any others with a similar issue as the Note GPS is pretty solid, as mine was prior to my new rom flash. Any ideas?
PS, I would have put this in the Seraphim post but I am a newbie poster and you need 10 posts, but i am a true a flashaholic.
Have you looked in settings and check to allow location?

Throughout the past few months, I have been unable to have a GPS lock or estimate whenever I'm either inside a building or standing still on broad daylight. The only way to get a fix is if I'm driving. I've had this problem on several different ROMs. I've mainly stuck with AOKP, but have tried different modems with the same result. I've also wiped data/cache and SD card several times but to no avail. Others haven't reported this problem so I know it's specific to my phone. For example, if I use Google Now on JellyBean and search for weather, it defaults to Atlanta if I'm not driving around (I live in Puerto Rico)
Now that Jelly Bean is here with Google Now and other apps are constantly taking advantage of your location, I would love to be able to have my GPS fix or give an estimate of my location whenever I'm inside a building or standing still on the street.
Any suggestions?
I'm having the same problem man I turn my GPS on and it won't pin point my location if im driving and turn GPS on it will start to work within maybe a few minutes or so I'm on stock ics rooted with siyah kernel is there any fix maybe for my stock phone its 4.0.3

Some have suggested before to switch modems. Have you had any luck with any particular one ?

I had trouble with GPS after flashing CM9 RC2. Have you installed GPS Toolbox? It gives you a bit more information to troubleshoot with.

I'd see eight satellites but would not get a fix. Eventually I reflashed new nightly *and* modem UCLE5 and trouble disappeared.
Have you tried leaving maps or another app requiring location data on for a few minutes (12 1/2 minutes max)? If you eventually acquire a fix then that would point toward your phone not being able to download GPS Assistance data from cell provider. If the phone cannot get AGPS data from cell provider then it has to recieve GPS almanac from satellites at an ungodly slow rate.

So you copied the gps.conf file to /etc and that was it? No other tweaks? What ROM are you using? I'm testing this On the Jelly Bean CM10 preview build.

That's REALLY weird.
Not locking inside - that's completely expected
Not locking outside - That's not a good sign, but it makes no sense when combined with
Locking in a moving car - My experience is that every GPS I have ever used has significantly more trouble locking when moving then when stationary
Edit: When you say "standing still in the street" - is it a city with tall buildings, or ???
No tall buildings.
The GPS.conf file posted two posts above helps but doesn't solve it completely.
And its an honor to have you Entropy answering my plea!

The other thing is that I'm unlocked I had a HTC amaze from T-Mobile I was using simple mobile and on the amaze the GPS would get my correct location what is it possible to flash the modem from a T-Mobile to the galaxy s2 sgh-i777 if so does any ones have a link to the modem and is it safe to flash it and instructions would be nice too:thumbup:

Have you tried standing still in an area where you can lock when driving?
Might be area-specific interference... That happened to lots of people near LightSquared's test networks for example.

Download 4ext recovery and use the wipe all except sd card before flashing. Cwm is extremely outdated and people are having issues like that after using it.

Check your radio version. If you're not using the .19 radios give them a shot.

At least I have unlimited data, lol. Still would be nice to have WiFi working because we only have a weak 3G signal at our home.
Did it work before you started using that Rom? My other suggestion would be to try a different ics Rom. Sorry I wasn't able to help but you're not the only with that problem. I'm surprised that no one else hasn't tried to help.

It worked fine before ics. I will look into trying a different build but I really like this one.

I had the same issue, I used the tweaked combo radio that used the .19 CDMA radio, with the leaked ICS LTE radio.
Well, I don't know how or why but it works now. I got mad and took the battery out and left it for a day. When I put it back in and turned it on it was working.

Question concerning this ROM as well. My signal bars either constantly indicate 2 bars for the 4 bar version, or full for the 6 bar signal version, and nothing else unless I am not on 4G. I saw someone posted this question somewhere else about a week ago or longer but I have been unable to locate it since I have been using the ROM. My data connection is usually fine so I wasn't sure if it'd be the radio I'm using or something with the ROM and if I may need to reflash.

I'm having that now with every rom I flash. GB and ICS based. It seems worse with ICS leaks, but it's a problem for me across the board.

So here is my dilemma. I got Ingress 2 weeks ago, sorry for those who haven't. I was on CM10, and I noticed the GPS wasn't working right, so I redownloaded the ROM and did a clean install. Still was a no go. I installed PacMan, same issue. I decided I would bite the bullet and try a Sense ROM. I installed SuperLTE and another one that I can't remember the name too. And with the Sense Roms GPS worked like a charm.... but LTE did not.
I have not been able to get LTE with a Sense ROM. But I get amazing LTE with stock JB Roms. First question is, has anyone else experienced this? The GPS works with Sense and LTE works with non sense Roms.
So my next question is, I can't get GPS on a stock ROM should I sacrifice Ingress for LTE?
And I noticed this started go happen right around the time I went S-off...

Did you do the well documented fix for GPS on AOSP, the one that involves flashing back to sense and getting a good lock and immediately flashing back to AOSP?

Have you tried updating all radios and prl/proflies on Sense prior to installing AOSP?
Are you carrying any app data back through restores?
I downloaded the latest CM10 nightly + fresh Gapps download. Turned on GPS opened Ingress, rebooted into recovery. Wiped everything under the sun.
Installed CM10 then Gapps and rebooted phone. It works like a charm. I always thought GPS icon was hidden in CM10 but now that I actually have it I see the icon lol
Thanks everyone! 7MB down with LTE + Ingress. Everything I ever wanted in life!

Sounds like a phone issue. Try going onto IRC and downloading one of Deck's test builds, instead of the nightly. What ROM are you currently running?
You might also try downloading the nightly again and try a clean install, in case you got a bad download.

I managed to finally load CM10.1(cm-10.1-20130703-NIGHTLY-jewel) with a working touchscreen driver after trying all sorts of junk with getting 10.0.0 stable release to work, which never gave me touchscreen functionality, as well as trying many other versions of CM. Even so, I ended up going back to MeanBean 3.09 due to extremely weak signal-strength on the CM10.1 ROM. I never got more than one bar of voice signal, with constant switching between 1x and 3G and 4G data, while the MeanBean consistently gives me 3+ bars voice and a consistent 4G signal when the device is in a certain location. I seem to be in a fringe area for solid 4G reception, which may well be the reason for my poor radio performance while running CM.
Cm measures signal differently then stock so a direct comparison isn't really fair
I've had this issue too. Usually after a few tries the display turns on. I believe this may have been a kernel issue. The 20130705 release has a new kernel and I haven't had the issue since installing.
