[Q] gps icon + signals gone - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I've tried everything possible even returning to stock. I can't ever get a single sat lock or any in view.
1 I tried setting GPS conference
2 clearing cache
3 checking internals all seems fine
4 checked the rx (antenna) which again seems fine
5 returned to stock firmware
Nothing resolved this issue I was wondering if anyone had any ideas
Or someone else have the same issue.
I have a HTC inspire rooted that still locates 5ft accuracy.
This one I get 2800ft from network.

Are you rooted? Have you tried other modem? What app are you using to check gps? Try gps status in play store.

Thanks for your reply.
I was rooted till 2 days ago I took it back to stock
Current modem is kh7
I was using the lastest one while rooted running aokp 38.
Ive tried multiple apparently to determine GPS signal all recongize I have GPS on but no signals ever show up.
The icon in the status bar never appears either.
I'm beginning to wonder if I killed it yet its only 2 months old.

Also some BS about badoo keeps appearing in my notifcation area.
As well as a star saying your phone may have a virus.

Download the latest AOKP. (u had said u were using that before), do a FULL wipe. /data, /system, /cache, /dalvik, and run the kernel cleaning script. Then install rom. On first boot let it sit for a minute or two then reboot. Then try getting a sat lock.

[Q] 3G data connection dies after wake-up?

Is it just me or you guys have the same issue? So I am on EB01 Modem, EB01 Super Clean Rom, non voodoo. If you wake up your phone and try to access internet, like launching browser or pandora, you get disconnected from 3G for several seconds, which gives error, that connection is lost. But after having phone in awake state for several minutes, the problem disappears until next sleep.
Is that what that means. You get 3g icon with a letter d underneath it means disconnect? Or? Standby?

Immediately after I wake up my phone, when app tries to reach Internet, I get 3G D first, then 3G icon disappears completely. App that tried to get data errors out, saying No coverage or no data. After ~30 seconds 3G icon appears again with arrows blinking and everything works fine. And data works fine until you put your phone to sleep. Then it happens again.
D = Dormant.
good day.

I have the same type of thing happen when i try to tether my ps3. created a couple threads and searched around but could never find any answers. Even making the phone stay awake doesnt fix it.
Sent from my rooted froyo Fascinate
check you task killers and other battery optimization apps. I had Juice Defender on and it did the same thing. Uninstalled it, back to normal.
I don't have anything installed. It is like that even on clean system, after wipe. I tried the same on Rubix ROM, which I very like, and it has the same behavior. I suspect its a new modem or kernel, because changing ROM doesn't fix the issue. I going to try to flash DL09 modem for now to see if it will fix the issue.
After flashing DL09 modem issue solved! (NO ITS NOT)
For those who looking for old modems:
DJ05 modem
DL09 modem
Edit: Well... actually the issue is not solved with DL09. This morning it crashed my modem and issue is still unsolved. I flashed DJ05 modem right now. Let's see if that will help.
Edit2: No, DJ05 did not solved the issue either. So it is not Modem's fault. Any suggestions?
I let it sleep for 5 minutes, woke it up and it lost 3g connection again. So it shows 3G icon, but really it doesn't have connection. Then after ~15 seconds 3G Icon disappears like someone turned off 3G Data. After another 15-30 seconds, 3G works again, Icon appears ok, everything works. I don't know what to do.
This sucks....
Having same issue and if I download anything have to leave my screen on to finish it or I loose connection....
Well, I used ODIN to reflash to stock DI01 package. Kernel, Modem, Rom all matching and factory. I cleaned everything, did factory reset, re-programmed the phone using options 1 and 2. Then I got the Verizon update EA28 and installed it too. It installed successfully. I lost root. And guess what? That DID NOT fixed the issue. 3G connection is still shuts off for 30 seconds when I try to access Internet after I wake up the phone.
Well, I went to Verizon and they offered me a replacement. I agreed.
Any ideas why this is happening? I noticed this started to happen when I flashed EB01 modem. But I am not sure if modem is the one to blame. One of the Kernels I flashed at some point maybe? I flashed jt's Adrenalyne's kernels. Reason why I am asking is I don't want to repeat the same story with new replacement phone. Not that I am complaining here I just want to understand what caused the issue and the reason why this issue persists after I flashed phone back to stock?

[Q] Thunderbolt GPS location incorrect after root

I rooted last night and ever since the HTC clock/weather widget and Google Maps shows my current location to Westland, MI which is definitely incorrect.... I live in Nashville, TN. Any ideas? Thus far I've tried all the basics, restart phone, turn off phone w/ battery pull for 30 seconds, clear data on weather apps in phone, and ofcourse toggle GPS on and off several times. Everytime I turn GPS back on and it "locates" me it gets it wrong. I've tried all of the things suggested for older HTC devices with the same issue with no luck. Any help would be appreciated! Or maybe this is some divine sign that I should move to Westland to see what is in store for me.... Thank you to everyone here for all that you do!

+1 for that app, i had to use it all the time with my HTC Hero. my GPS on my thunderbolt has been good so far, fingers crossed.
still didn't work??? As far as I know I followed what you said exactly... Thank you so much for your help!
Got it fixed. Basically while rooting, i gained root succesfully but I what I believe happened was i flashed the custom firmware twice, instead of flashing the downgraded one first, and then flashing the customized firmware. I realized this because I noticed "S-ON" in the bootloader, so I started from scratch and boom, it was fixed. I noticed the location was off and when I was driving around today it was changing my "location" to random places, and also each "location" change would also change timezones... (went from 11:18AM to 5:18PM actually one time, within 5 miles of the different "locations"). So hopefully no one else had this much difficulty paying attention like I did, but if you did, here's your fix! Now rooted, S-OFF, and all is well here in Nashville. Thanks!
Go predators! I live about 44 miles down the raod east of nashvile, however i cant help u eith your problem

[Q] (SOLVED) No Internet Access on MIUI 1.6.24.1

Since installing MIUI 1.6.24.1 I do not have internet/data access on my phone.
I can make/receive phone calls and txts, however I cannot connect to Google or Android Market.
I have tried EA28, EC01, and EC09 modems with multiple battery pulls (both plugged in and not) between each with no effect.
When trying to input my account info for Market I get "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server." Normally (on UKB 2.1) I have full service at my desk. My "3G" icon is constantly flickering on and off and under About Phone 3G Service only stays connected for a second then switches back to "Connecting".
Am I missing something?
Jp
Update: Solution found - See Post #25
Dial *228. The keypad won't pop up so hold menu and press 1 on the keyboard to reprogram your phone. I had that happen this morning. I didn't realize I didn't have internet since I was using wifi all night after I flashed it. The voice prompt will tell you it succeeded but the UI will say it failed. You'll lose service. Just reboot. Worst case scenario, if you still don't have any service at all shut down then pull the battery. Boot back up and you should be good.
Still no Internet.
My 3G connection only ever stays active for 8 sec.
I am currently on EC09 Radio which I really havent used much. However, I have found that for me EA28 was usually the most reliable Radio. Is it possible that EC09 just doesn't work well for me here?
Jp
That's definitely not the same issue I was having. My 3G icon stayed on the screen but all my apps simply told me I had no internet. The 3G icon never went away on me. Sorry I can't help you further. Maybe somebody else has some insight. Try reinstalling and possibly a new radio like you said.
You should try a new radio, I'm currently on Ed04 and I have had no problems with Internet.

That sounds more like the issue Crashspeeder described, you may only need to reactivate your phone. My data appears to be going down every 8 seconds.

ED04 has same issue on both MIUI and CM7, I am beginning to think it has nothing to do with the modem.
Jp
Keep in mind that CM7 MTD and MIUI MTD are essentially the same rom since MIUI MTD is based on CM7 MTD so I'm not sure your assessment is entirely correct. It may be that ED04 isn't compatible with these two roms. I'm on EB01 (yea, dinosaur) and it's working fine.
I did reactivate my phone but using *22804 for cricket in my area and one of the times it said failed I lost data pulled battery rebooted got it and still nothing ....and another it said success and still a no go
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Well I can cross off EC01, EA28, EC09, ED04, and now EB01 as things I've tried. None of them worked. That is my reasoning as to why I think it is unrelated to the radio.
Well, I guess I'll keep playing with it for a bit and try all the other radios I can get ahold of.
Jp
Hah. I would've stopped at 3. I think you've proven it's not the modem. I assume you tried reinstalling and still nothing. Not sure what could be going on

Seems that I'm in the same boat here............... app/market tries to connect and I see the data stream flashing but then in a few seconds it says no internet/ data connection. For reference I'm on Metro PCS and I had data working on Evil and Com rom.
Also I flashed JT's CM7 for a quick test and no internet on that either, wierd......

Yeah after flashing Miui and losing data I Odined back to stock and still got the same ..no data ... I'm on Cricket which is like Metro
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I've been screwing with this all day. I have both the 3q flicker and sometimes it stays on but the arrows don't flash. either way no data. Flashed back to stock and data works. Also works on comrom with the last 3 radios (including the new ec09 leak).
otherwise the install went well for everything (both muiu and cyanogen). MUIU was a pain because i couldn't find terminal emulator but then had an idiot moment when i found it in the power menu but it didn't work, 3 of the 4 reboots did the same thing. hot boot was the only one that did anything different.
I've used the stock kernel and the OTB kernel. Same story both times. I'm not sure what other info would be relevant but I'm happy to help diagnose this problem. Getting a new fascinate because I was one of those who the ESN swap didn't fix my other data problems (cut out and slow). Maybe that's a lead? Anyway, i'll have a backup phone for a couple days if I want to mess with it without worry.
thanks for all the help and work. I like it a lot, it's super quick!
I'll just use it as is for today, but when I wake up tomorrow I'll flash back to Evil or com rom see if my data comes back. If data hasnt comeback when I flash back I'll check my data settings with QPST 2.7 and if need be I'll re-flash the data settings with Miui installed.
I had the same issue after flashing the latest MIUI build. Even after rebooting twice I still had no data connection. Oddly enough after doing a battery pull, then holding the power button down to clear any residual power; it started working again.
Update, I work graveyard so I decided to do it before i go to bed, anyway I flashed back to stock and as slow and pathetic as it is... data is working. I'm flashing evil as I type.......wait for it......."convert data patition , back up operation, blah blah blah Two Minutes" ..........*stares blindly at Samsung logo* OK! Evil is up and running with data which means something about miui and CM7 is breaking our data .
*warning, rant-ish*
I would hate to not be able to go back to Miui, I had my theme made up of of a custom Ore no Imouto icons everywhere *ashamed* with a custom font and a sweet HTC bootloading screen with the Fringe intro song Maybe data isn't too big of a deal besides who needs pandora, tapatalk, email, OMG! my precious Fantasy sport teams...... wait a sec, the NFL is still on lock out. Fellas we need to find a fix for this, preferably before the next NFL season.....My Solid Snakes HAVE to be back to back champs
So, a quick update...
First off, my Nandroid backup of UKB 2.1 is apparently corrupted or something because after flashing/repartitioning with EB01, I couldn't do a restore. So basically, I'm stuck with either MIUI with no data or rebuilding UKB 2.1 from scratch which undoubtedly will be a real pain.
Second, my data has now worked once. I was able to open Google today after my phone had been off for several hours. When I booted my phone up it was first stuck in Airplane Mode so I powered down and pulled the battery. When I booted back up, my data worked, I was able to load Google in the browser and when I searched for "test" it failed. It got part way into loading my search results when it crashed out.
So, it looks like I'm going to just stick with MIUI for the time being and just do without the data when I'm off WIFI.
The only thing unusual about my setup is that I am using the extended battery. It is the standard VZW 2200 mAh not any of the 3rd Party ones but I guess that could be making a difference.
If any developers want to see any logs or anything just let me know what commands I should run and I'll post the results.
Jp
With all cyanogen mod you sometime lose data after you poweroff your phone. Try rebooting or battery pull. If that doesnt work, you probly gonna need a new phone. I dont think its modem or rom related. The phone data anttena is done.

[Q] 3G problem after root?

Okay so I just finished setting up my girlfriends Fascintate, everythings running flawlessly BUT I notice the data keeps going in and out even with full reception bars, it'll work for 3 minutes, go out for 1 minute, than keep repeatng.
If I'm not using data (just viewing the homescreen) than the 3G icon will stay on like normal like its working fine and staying on, soon as I use data required apps like browser/xda/facebook it does the on/off thing.
The current setup is Powerwashed + PBJ kernel.
But I tried CommRom + OTB kernel first to see how it ran and I think it may have done the same thing on there, didn't run it long enough to take notice since the icon stays on when just checking out the phone itself and not browsing.
I tried switching modems but it does the same on both modems I tried.
Anyone heard of this or know of a solution? Thanks.

Help! GPS has stopped working (t-mobile uk)

Hi there - wondering if anyone else has experienced this or can help me. Have seen some similar-ish threads dating back many months but nothing exactly seems to answer this
Until last week, the GPS on my S2 was working fine. Always locked pretty quickly etc.
But for the last week or so, I cannot seem to get a GPS fix AT ALL. I have tried restarting, clearing the aGPS data, etc. etc.
I have installed GPS Status and GPS Aids from the marketplace as recommended in some places. GPS Status shows many satellites being detected in grey, but nothing locks on to them. My phone is not rooted so I have not tried to alter settings etc. as yet, as not really sure this is the problem as I have not changed anything recently. (Could t-mobile have done something on their end that is causing it maybe.. ??)
I am running stock ICS on t-mobile.
Any illumination anyone could offer would be most appreciated!
many thanks
Have you flashed any rom?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Even if it was a carrier update, no need to be a custom rom.
I use GPS-Test to "test" my GPS, can you please install it tell us what is the biggest SNR you get?
I think you will only get a lock if you have at least 3 sats with SNR above 30.

i was using gps status and aid like you did. didnt work till i tried gps test plus.
Many thanks for all the replies
@arc Have not flashed a ROM, just using stock ROM which got upgraded automatically to ICS from gingerbread a few months ago
@zedread Installed GPS Test and tried it briefly just now. Get 7-9 satellites with SNRs of between 20 and 40. All of them stay grey and none of them get used for locking. This is similar to what I have seen in GPS status etc. (i.e. it seems to find satellites but does not proceed to try and lock any of them...all of them always stay grey)
@happily can you advise what it is in GPS Test Plus that helped? Just got the free version at the moment.
Anyone have any more ideas?
Many thanks
Try FasterFix from Google Play Store.....good luck.
