I'm already terribly sorry when I mess things up here. I'm new here and I'm not completely sure if I'm doing the right thing with this post (at this place/forum). Well, I'll give it a try since I can't post something here which I initially wanted to do. Please, forgive me when I'm wrong by posting my problems here. Actually, I'd love to get a reply by the author of the patch featured in the above thread, but maybe someone here can help me.
First off, this is my newly flashed phone status:

(Sorry, I'm German, so is the language of my phone)
The phone isn't able to get a GPS fix or lock satellites. Since I applied the mentioned patch (above thread) it FINDS enough sat's but doesn't lock them. The GPS icon doesn't even blink in geo apps like Maps, GPS Status, Maverick etc. (only once in a while, very seldom)! So in a nutshell: even with the patch I can't get my phone to have a GPS function.
Look at this:
As you can imagine I'm pretty f***ed up with my beloved SGS2 not having GPS. :crying:
I'd be thankful for a lifetime and beyond if ANYONE could help me getting this stuff working again. :victory:

Are you using my aGPS Patch at all?
If so, did you ensure you comply with the Notes?
If so, did you clear cache/dalvik cache and try again?
If so, go to Settings - > Locations. Disable everything. Reboot. Go back and re-enable GPS only. Reboot. Try again.
If this fails, try another ROM known to work from my development thread's success stories of other users with your device.
Remember, WiFi or data connections is a must for getting aGPS data.

Thank you so much, in fact some time ago i have seen your AGPS post and have patched to my I9100, it's really so good. (Even without WiFi or data connections)
But lately after RR upgraded to v2.5 and v2.6, my GPS app cannot work anymore without WiFi or data connections. So would you please help, whether you have any idea what's gone wrong? One thing I am very sure, if i flash back to stock rom, this problem is definitely solved right away.
Please pardon me if I am too noob about this.
Just flash new NeatRom Lite from RR 2.6, above issue mentioned in previous post above is now solved.
My GPS app turn on and work without WiFi or without data connection (even in airplane mode), I only need to turn on GPS Satellites.
If need WiFi, when at outdoor cannot get WiFi.
If need data connection, then need to pay extra.
If no need WiFi or data connection, I will love it

Now, I know that this rom is still in an early Alpha stage, but as a test I left it on, unplugged with wifi on, not connecte (having that irritating bug where it won't connect to anything), to see how long the battery lasts, and I noticed 2 things.

A. Should the battery be draining this quick, when it was not used for the 24 hours which it lasted on battery? I mean, no apps were running, and it wasn't even connected to wifi, I usually leave wifi on on my phone by an accident and I don't notice it draining the battery that quick...(my only explenation although I dunno if it's right, is that while it's not connected and there are networks that it knows and can connect to in range, that it is constantly TRYING to connect, and thus draining the battery?
B. It says that it was constantly awake, but if you look below, the screen was turned on like, 2 or three times throughout the day?
Any ideas about these? Anyone know a fix for wifi? I tried wifi fixer from the market, but it didn't work (looks like all it does is reset the wifi) (and please don't suggest the changing channel thing on the router, cause I can't do that in college). Also, calendar won't sync with my email, says sync is down, try again later, and in accounts and settings, it doesn't say sync Calendar, it says sync com.android.calendar...? I tried wiping dalvik cache and reinstalled GAPPS V11...but nothing, still won't sync
Thanks guys.

Try Fixing Permissions in CWM. If that doesn't work then wipe everything and reinstall.
what would the permissions fix be for...the calendar?
It should fix the wifi. Did you have android on your TP before ICS? If you did you might of installed it over one another which may lead to problems. Best bet is to backup, wipe everything, and reinstall. I currently have ICS on my TP and its golden! Never had wifi problems and use my Calender daily.
Re: Your battery life. If you check your process list with top from a console or with all options on in system tuner, do you see anything pegging the CPU? I had an odd issue where netd was consuming loads of resources (50-90% constantly on one core) and it was killing the battery like that and making the device slower. I replaced that daemon with the same file from CM7 and stopped having issues.
Check the last few pages of the CM9 thread in the dev section for more details.

Edit, here's my battery life for a similar period with wifi on.
Weird tapatalk bug. Ignore.
Scroll down the page to the link for gapps fixer, it should fix your calendar problem.

I'm pretty sure awake and screen on are different things. I was having some nasty idle issues before I replaced netd though. I don't recall if it was staying awake like that, but one core was pegged constantly at >=50%.

I've seen this suggestion multiple times with no real explanation as to why this fixes the wifi.
I did this multiple times across multiple clean installs. It did not fix the Wifi for me.
Does anyone know why this is being suggested as a way to fix wifi??

Tried that and did nothing. Changing the router channel to 4 fixed it though. Battery life still isn't great though. Gonna try that netd thing later

Hi.
About three weeks ago the gps on my galaxy s2 stopped working. I have been running CM9 nightlies since about march with no issues before this.
This isn't a matter of not locking properly, and the internal gps is set properly in settings. It simply seems like the phone cannot communicate with the GPS modal. No GPS symbol appears in the status bar. I do most of my testing in the GPS Toolbox app.
Is there a way to tell if this is a software issue or a hardware issue.
any advice would be useful.
Back to stock firmware in the first instance. If you have the same problem running stock, then chances are it's a hardware issue.

Did this a while back. No change, exact same behaviour. Is there some way i can test to be 100% sure it is a hardware failure?
your last chance is to change the modem , try diffrent modems , and give your gps some time too be locked , also try some gps patches " you will find alot around here "
run your test in avery very clean sky to be sure it is ahardware fault , thats what i can tell you
btw : run the test with gps status app , i know it very well , and it will download the agps data auto while you are connected to the internet , and will provide with alot of usefull info , and have alot of settings

I am almost 100% sure that your modem had no control over the gps, only the data it downloads to help clock sync to the gps signal. I don't need to be outside to test this, It's not a gps locking issue, its a gps working at all issue.
I switched back to an old modem that it use to work on anyway, no luck.
1) You are absolutely correct re: modem having nothing to do with GPS ;-)
2) I doubt there's any way that you as a phone user (as opposed to someone who is used to tinkering with the hardware/fixes them for a living) can test definitively for a hardware problem so far as GPS is concerned. Honestly, you've tried everything a user could possibly try to rule out a hardware problem (unless it's something really obvious we're both missing here).
Me, I'd send it in for warranty service. Out of warranty/warranty service too hard to organise ? Take it to a mobile repair shop & explain exactly what the problem is & exactly what you've been doing with the phone up until now (they don't care you've been running non-stock firmware as it's not a warranty job; the few mobile techs I've met run non-stock firmware on their phones).

Yep, There is a place I know that i will probably take the phone too. Just trying to make sure I am not missing something stupid here.
Yep that's what I've been sitting here going thru in my head in the 20 minutes since my last post. I can't find anything obvious other than maybe do a completely clean install of stock ?
That is format cache, data, system, & internal sd card in CWM, then flash stock in Odin then see what happens. Don't restore anything at all until you've tested the GPS with a 'clean' setup. Obviously install GPS Status from Google Play to test it out.
I know you did a wipe/factory reset when you tried stock, which would have taken care of anything that may have been left behind from CM9 or whatever.
Unfortunately that's all I got :-( Hope you've been able to think of something in the interim we might have missed.

Hi,
Sorry for digging those thread out. i have exact the same issue with my I9100.
The GPS icon will not show up once launching an gps app.
Also returned to a stock firmware, same issue.
I have checked the antenna connection between the 2 boards and this is fine.
What was your solution?
Thanks a lot,
Mark

It was a hardware issue. Repair guys replaced the mainboard and all was well.
I had to send it to them twice as nothing showed up on their debug and they sent it straight back. Give them specific instructions to try and actually use the GPS so they catch the problem.
Anybody who experienced this problem with regards to wifi?

I can't turn on the wifi. When I toggle the wifi button on, it keeps saying (turning on...) but it toggles back to off all by itself. I can't even see the screen where it list available networks.
Earlier in the morning I can still browse the internet using my wifi at home. While I was watching TV, I grab my phone to check emails and IMs only to discover that I can't connect to my wifi anymore. My laptop and tablet can connect to it though.
Things that I tried:
1. Reset the router
2. Disabled wifi power saving on the phone
3. Re-flashed custom rom (still no good)
4. Re-flashed stock rom (no luck either)
5. Tried several modems and kernels
6. Tried playstore wifi fixer apps
Any help would be appreciated. This is very frustrating for me because I can't use mobile data all the time and I don't have a spare phone for now (to be used for internet, especially for work purposes).
Have you tried reflashing a rom with wipe? Or flashing another rom?
If you have similar issues with other roms and you in fact did full wipe then I'd say that this looks like a hardware problem.

I have seen something similar on a i9100 before - the cause there was a damaged EFS partition - you should check if the info under About device -> Status is still correct (at least the MAC address under WiFi and the IMEI). That being said there are many other possible problems, including a hardware problem with the internal WiFi adapter

Yes, I've tried those already but to no avail. If it is a hardware problem, how much will it cost me to fix my wifi? I have lost my proof of purchase so I can't claim my warranty.

I have no idea, take your phone to any repair center and tell them to take a look. I'd say that this is in fact hardware problem, maybe your wi-fi adapter is broken or something like that.
Also if you don't have any warranty then it's the only way to get it fixed I suppose.

Unfortunately, it will re-install itself after you reboot your phone even you perform "Forget" or "Delete" it. ( yes, I have PM uninstall all T-mobile packages already )

This is not related to Wi-Fi in any way. Notice how it simply says "Saved networks", then below "t-mobile.com", it has "Wi-Fi Networks". This implies, as far as I'm aware, that it is not Wi-Fi, but rather your cellular data subscription from T-Mobile.

It could just be hard coded into the tmobile branded phones to give you access to tmobile hotspots.

This could be it.
However, I also have T-mobile branded Samsung A32 5g but it does not re-install "t-mobile.com" under [Saved networks] menu after I delete it. That's why I like to know if I can prevent auto-install after I delete it.
FYI, I have already PM uninstalled all tmo packages.
I want to say many phones ago I had a similar issue with a package that happened on one phone and not another. What I remember of it was the AOKP guys went digging into it and they found that on the tmobile branded version of that phone in the original rom it was buried deep enough it couldn't be turned off. I am not sure if it was the same package but I do recall it had something to do with their wifi networks.

This makes sense. Glad you could clear this up, I was also curious.
I wouldn't swear it's cleared up lol. Like I said I could be wrong, I just remember it was a package that the AOKP guys went looking for in the stock rom for the phone (Motorola cliq or cliq2 maybe) and that it was something to do with the wifi but it was harmless just gave you access to their instore wifi stuff. I'll leave the clearing up to people much smarter than me......

Yeah I see what you mean. I'll still leave this as a possible theory until it's 100% confirmed.
Has anyone ran across an issue when changing from WIFI to mobile data that it doesn't switch? Usually when I leave my house and get into the car it doesn't switch to mobile data and I need to restart my phone for it to connect.
I'm seeing this issue, sort of. Not sure if this is the same that's happening to you though. After leaving home/wifi, the phone shows LTE or 5G but the data doesn't work (at least for some apps, I'm not sure if it's all or not).
Restarting does fix this, but for me swapping back and forth between APNs will also fix it for some reason.
Yeh happens on phone as well, as you said the only way to get reconnect is by restarting the phone, really annoying i hope sony will address this issue in the software update
I am on the latest image and I have this problem as well. I hate to be spending time with either Sony or T-Mobile support to find where the issue is. I'm not even sure if T-Mobile will care; they'll probably tell me I'm using an unsupported phone... sigh...
If this issue is not resolved and if the upcoming Galaxy phone happens to come with an sd-card slot (low chance), then I'm returning my Sony and switching to that. So far not impressed with screen brightness for sunny days outside either, and not thrilled about over sensitive or not sensitive enough, dual-personality finger print reader. So my reasons to return are starting mount up...
Oh one more observation. If I try to force connect to another network like ATT, wait for that to fail, then switch to auto-connect right after, then 5G icon comes and I get internet connectivity restored w/o having to restart. This seems to be the only workaround. Otherwise switching mobile data on/off, or switching in and out of airplane mode doesn't do anything.
And... I'm sure I can do this trick when I naturally lose service then come back into service where I only get voice, but no data. This is the thing that most pisses me off. I can anticipate switching in/out of wi-fi and apply the workaround or reboot. But I can't keep checking my phone to see if I constantly have 5G coverage, which is spotty at times to begin with T-Mobile.
Really frustrated with this here....
I had this problem, so did a search and found the same problem with older Sony phone. He said what fixed it was changing the apn settings. Wish I could find that web site again. But basically checked my default apn setting, and it was missing some info. I made a new apn with the correct T-Mobile settings and deleted the old one. And now I don't need a restart to get mobile data working. Never would have thought that would be the fix. Hope this helps

But basically checked my default apn setting, and it was missing some info. I made a new apn with the correct T-Mobile settings and deleted the old one. And now I don't need a restart to get mobile data working. Never would have thought that would be the fix. Hope this helps

This did the trick!!! Thank you very much! I don't know if Sony was trying to be smart to include the "T-Mobile" APN in the phone, or T-Mobile pushed both "T-Mobile" and "T-Mobile US LTE" APNs over the air, but when I switched from T-Mobile to T-Mobile US LTE, the issue stopped exhibiting.
