Download this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5lY2xpcHNpbS5ncHNzdGF0dXMyIl0.
Go into it, reset AGPS data, and download the new one. Its weird but it gets you better connection because more satellites lock on to you
Easy fix.

I'm still having problems with my GPS after installing Axura Rom 2.2.5.9. My GPS was working fine before this upgrade and I've tried all the fixes and it's not helping me. My GPS spotted 11 and 6 - 8 is in use using GPStest app but when I'm using navagation, it's always stuck on "getting driving direction" screen. I disable using wireless network and wifi. I don't think it's hardware issue because it was working fine before. I'm not sure if the newest version of Axura will help or should I reflash my rom? Please help!!
Disable data? This will not allow it to get the directions, hence your phone gets stuck at that screen.

I see you posted in the non hardware gps fix. What were you running that it worked so good? I think you need to go back to it or try reflashing what your on. Try a different rom maybe? Last try the hardware fix. A lot of ppl can't get their gps to work for crap no matter what. They send it in to samsung and all they do is reset it. No fix.

The last time my GPS worked was running stock. Everything is perfect with this new rom except the GPS issue. Does any ROM out there that have the GPS working??
there's a simple fix for the vibrant with an app called "GPS restore" by Samsung
make sure to use the default market to search for it
lmk if it helped, btw I'm running Bionix-V 2.2 if you want to try that and see if GPS works for you then
Thank you "soulofkorea" for this info I just went and dl'd that app and now my gps works perfectly

I did try GPS restore but no luck, the Nav still stuck on "finding driving directions" screen. I have no clue why is it doing that. I see 10 birds and locked onto 6 - 8 with good signal strengh and Google maps works flawlessly with an instant written direction within seconds.
This is my setting for my GPS
dial *#3214789650# into lbs
first choose:app setting
1:Sessing Type
(Tracking)
2:test mode
(H/W Test)
3p mode
(H/W Sensitivity Test)
4:start mode
(Cold start)
5:GPS Plus
(ON)
6:
(ON)
7:
(50)
8:
(OFF)
second choose supl/cp setting
1: FQDN type
(Custom Config)
2:
supl.nokia.com
3ort
7275
4:SUPL security
ON
5:AGPS mode
(SUPL)
then back to home and reboot your device.
after it, get into lbs again
1.choose delete gps data
2.get position test
3.after located, change 1st "cold start" into "hot start".
completed.

hmm I'm just shooting in the dark here but try clearing the data in google maps by going to settings>applications and then reinstalling? if that doesn't work then flash CWM recovery and reflash the ROM after clearing the cache?
other than those ideas I got nothing, good luck

Hi,
After flashing AXURA 2.2.9.0, everything s great except my GPS that was not working and just a blinking grey icon with backslash line. During NAvigation, it didnt lock, always searching GPS.
Anyone has same thing? Any idea?
Click my general sticky and find the digitaltoddy fix.
hi,
digitaltoddy fix as same as tool in SGS toolbox didnt fix. Stock rom also failed, maybe hardware or other. I live in Japan using vibrant.
Anyway, thanks for noob guides.
Try GPSFix. Download it from the Market. It worked for me.
If that doesn't do it, try GPSRestore also from the Market.

Hi,
I've pushed GPSrestore Samsung also but not working.
But at last, i tried to flash Nero 5, it worked, and soon many birds came using GPS Test. Few days ago, i flashed Bionix 1.2.1, GPS gets improved.
I dont know why, but i guest because better modem on KA5.
Thanks.
Ive been doing much research with this international GPS issue I'm having. I have one question...... I'm from USA, have a Galaxy S (Vibrant - SGH-T959) Baseband: T959UVKB5 / Kernel: Immortality V2 (2.6.32.9) / ROM: Bionix V 1.3.1. I am currently visiting Ukraine (In Europe) and have tweaked the gps.conf file and still nothing. I get GPS Satellites "In View" but none "In Use" according to GPS STATUS (seems it cant connect to satellites?). I have mobile service (EDGE) with ISP Kyivstar. Also phone has been unlocked and installed the Google Maps 5.7.0 ownhere/Brut.all MOD. Any help would be great! Thanks
gps.conf
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=hxxp://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=hxxp://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=hxxp://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
I am from Serbia and gps works fine, it needs some time to get the first fix but after that its much better. I did change ntp server to europe(just one i think you overdid it), and set supl.google.com in libtestmode. All this using stock kb5 it has the best gps without any fixes imo.
edit: It seams to get better over time, at start i had 50m locks but now its down to 8-10m.
Im seeing plenty of satellites but cant connect to any =( Been here for over a week and nothing......
Are you using stock Google Maps and navigation??

No its updated install GPS Test from the market and let it run outside where there is a clear view of the sky for 5-10min, you should get a lock. After one lock it should be much faster, if you messed with lbstestmode set gps to standalone.
Updated version of google maps? Or the Google Maps 5.7.0 ownhere/Brut.all MOD?
Hello,
I'm seems to be having this issue since I've installed my first modded rom or Radio.
Cannot recall it just now.
It does not matter which rom I have installed but the only way to get GPS working is to reboot the phone. Since then the gps works ok for some time.
Does anyone experience the same issue? Any solutions?
Cheers

I can offer 2 suggestions.
1) Give "GPS Status" a try. Android Market. **Edit: use this app to download new GPS data. Can't remember exactly what it's called.
2) Go to this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8176243&postcount=1)and search for "GPS". There are 3 files. Europe, US and Asia. Try the one for your location.
Option 2 usually works for me. I think it is compatible with any ROM.
Thanks,
flashing the radio and Heroine seem to fixed the issue.
I will keep testing it in next few days
I would also suggest the app 'GPS Status and Toolbox'.
If that fails then try a different radio.
How did you get on after a few days?
Anyone know of a fix for CM10 wifi? It stays connected (the wifi bar stays blue) but I can't download or upload anything. It will then randomly start working then stop again. I flashed to CM10 last night after being on CM9 for a few days. I had no problems with wifi in CM9. I honestly would love to just stay with CM7 but I had way too many wifi problems it drove me off the walls. CM9 seem to fix it and CM10 seems to break it again for me. Any suggestions?

Wifi works fine for me in CM10. Are you using an MX2 instead of a Droid X2? Because theres a wifi patch for MX2 users.
MX2 = Milestone Droidx2 (which is a non-Verizon version right?) I am using a Verizon Droid X2 and pretty sure it is not a MX2 as I mad the mistake and flashed the wifi patch and it wouldn't even turn on until I re-flashed everything again. When I went to CM10 last night, I SBF back to 2.3.4 before I flashed it into CM10 (I had a keyboard error that wouldn't let me do anything so I couldn't install system recovery).

I have wondered the same thing actually. I read that sometimes channels 10 and 11 cause issues so I changed that. What makes me think it is something else, is that it happens randomly on just about any wifi. Sometimes it just won't connect and I have to keep trying, other times it connects perfectly and has no issues. Other times it works fine then it just starts not working. I am in the process of doing an SBF since I did something to cause it to bootloop.
Well if it doesnt fix the problem, try using something like wifi fixer in the play store.

I couldn't get it to work and have no time to mess around with it. I flashed back to Android 4.04 and everything is working fine. I play around with it this weekend and see if that app works. Does your Android 4.1 flash so the up and down arrows in the your wifi showing data activity?

I'm not connected to wifi right now so I cant look at it. But off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure it does show activity on the icon.

It is so weird. Decided to flash back, got on wifi no problem then it just stops working. It shows I am connected but not fully connected (gives grey signal bars). CM9 works fine for wifi but CM7 and CM10 have been giving me big hassles.
