I've got a problem where if my GPS is turned on and I open maps/or anything which used gps, it will scan for gps satellites(and find nothing) but also will disable my network signal for a min or so while it's trying to locate the satellite, I didn't have this problem on my stock rom however I haven't been able to get my gps to work on any custom rom or the original rom since I unlocked my bootloader.
Anywho I've decided it's time to start looking into trying another radio and I'm hoping someone can recommend one, also how can I backup my current radio? is it just on the rom level where if I use backup in CWM it'll backup the radio at the same time?
Search the forum, asked and answered many times. Find my backup thread and flash 36p radio.
Thank you for the information I found your thread however it appears that it mostly pertains to the AT&T Atrix, I should have said this in my origina thread but I have a Bell Canada Atrix 4G running radio# N_01.07.05P.
Also I'm running Turl's most recent CM9 build.
One other thing, my wife has the same atrix but is running Neutrino CM7 with the same radio and her GPS works flawlessly so maybe I'm looking in the wrong place to fix my GPS issue.
Flashing radio fix my gps problem. You should be able flash 36p but please research before.
Maybe reflashing same radio could help.

Well I successfully flashed N_01.77.33P_can_bell.zip onto my phone and now when I run GPS it no longer drops my network connection however unfortunately I'm still not getting a GPS signal from any GPS testing app.
Try gps status. Also search for cm troubleshot, gps part. I'm on mobile now, is not that easy to search
I've been using GPS Status and GPS Test, searched through Turl's CM9 thread again and it looks like most ppl were able to fix it by flashing their radios however there are some ppl there who responded like me with flashing the radio not working for them either.
I mean cm 7 wiki, just google it.
Success, I flashed the radio a 4th time and now my gps is working fine.

Good evening all. I have flashed my Mogul succesfully with Nexxvisions ROM (thanks to him as well as DCD and Dogguy) and I have been running for about a week and a half and have had no difficulties. So I have been showing off to my collegues about how grreat my phone is and of course I get requests to flash their phones. So I flash three phones (against my better judgement) and within 24 hours 2 of them are having the same exact issues. They said they did a soft reset while attached to the charger, and when the unit reboots it freezes. The only way to get out of it, is to reboot and quickly go into comm mngr and go into airplane mode. Once they got out of airplane mode, the phone would go back to normal. This is odd, because as I stated, I have had no trouble in almost 2 weeks. Now I was thinking what is different about my unit and theirs, and then I realized that they are both using the ATT version of Telenavand Im not. So my question is, has anyone else had trouble with their Mogul like the issues I explained above.
I had the same issue with GPS today plugin, i had to remove the program to get it to work right again. I am not currently using the nexxvision rom but i am using a rom based on dcd 2.2.0.

I don't know of any devs who have altered the GPS code from Samsung, and regardless there is no sure thing to fix anyone's GPS issues.
If your GPS doesn't work, try a few different software versions and GPS settings. There is no miracle cure.

Exactly. These guys aren't fixing anything. Generally speaking, these guys theme ROM's. With some basic scripting of tasks and features. Devs.......I still laugh at that.
How to fix your GPS:
1) Accept that the Samsung Galaxy S GPS will never be fixed, just slightly improved upon a forever ****ty performing GPS. If you can accept this, then you are 1 step closer to enjoying your GPS.
2) Never f*ck with your GPS settings ever again after this day.
3) Download GPSRestore made by Samsung in the Android Market.
4) Run the program, if still having GPS problems then do a full factory format by dialing this into your phone *2767*3855#.
5) If still having problems after running the GPSRstore and doing a factory format via that code, then exchange the phone, and NEVER EVER EVER listen to anyone who suggests you should f*ck around with the LBStestmode settings on your new replacement.
6) Once again, stop tinkering with the GPS settings
7) One more time, leave the GPS settings alone.
Hope that helps, if all else fails, return the Vibrant, get a different phone, and never touch the GPS settings on that phone either.
Master has used the following GPS fix in his roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9551790
I'm using this on nero b2 and it fixes on to 9/12 satellites for me in most locations under 10 seconds when directly under the sky and under 30-40 seconds when inside a building.
You can also search for an app called GpsRestore by Samsung Mobile in the Market. Depending on your rom, as long as it recognizes your device, it can work wonders. For best results go outside when you run it. When I tried it it took me from 50 meters to <10. Good luck.
Hey guys, I'm what you would call somewhat of a novice user. My GPS when using the actual satellites doesn't work anymore. It can only use the cell tower triangulation method which is useless for the turn by turn navigation app. It worked fine until I followed this guide to flash custom roms, unlock the bootloader etc. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=113626
After I did that, the battery life was very poor so I installed edgan's kernel from the same page. The phone, rom, battery etc worked great except the GPS. Any ideas how I can fix this? I'm on Bell Canada if that makes a difference. Any more info let me know! Thanks.
edgan's kernel ? its old ...
Try testing the GPS with softwares like: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest and https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2
I recommend you unlock your bootloader, install recovery with ROM Manager, install good rom such as CM7 or Aura or DarkSide or HomaBase, install the latest radio and good kernel if you want.

Ok I have Rom manager and my bootloader is already unlocked. I'm gonna try installing that kernel you gave me there, see if that fixes the GPS issue. I don't understand what a radio does, should I install that one too? I'm honestly fine with this rom I and how it looks but I just really want the GPS fixed cause I use it a lot.

Actually seems to be working now just took awhile to lock on. Thanks for the kernel!

I suppose this is somewhat of an update. Kernel seems good, good battery life. The GPS works now but takes an eternity to lock on. Can someone suggest a fix? Would a new rom, radio etc fix that? I hate to be such a bother but I use the GPS daily for jogging and turn by turn navigation. I'm inexperienced and don't want to cause further problems so I'll wait this time before I do anything. Thanks again.

Try this guide for fixing GPS problems : https://code.google.com/p/atrix-dev-team/wiki/FAQ
Other than that, i think you should full wipe everything (data,cache,dalvik-from recovery), install a new rom, install new radio, install the faux123 kernel.
I did all this yesterday and my gps now works great and locks in a few seconds .
There seems to be some kind of inconsistent GPS issue with the Atrix. On my Atrix (US-ATT) sometimes, but not always the GPS will not get a "fix". This seems to only happen occasionly however. It seems to work better if the first use of the day is when the phone has cell tower service.
Perhaps there is a related GPS issue. The Atrix only registers an "accuracy" value of zero.
This has been noted in the following link:http://community.developer.motorola...o-Location-Accuracy-on-Gingerbread/td-p/17116
Ok well I've tried a new kernel, used GPS status to calibrate compass and installed a new radio and nothing has worked. I'm assuming I need a new rom then. Can anyone suggest a good rom? I saw the CyanogenMod 7 thread but it says the fingerprint scanner won't work. I use that all the time so I would prefer not to sacrifice it if there are other good roms out there. I'm hoping for some suggestions and then I'll get on that to see if it fixes my GPS issue. Thanks guys.
Search here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=997
Look at their features, read the comments and pick the one the look good to you.
If I am having trouble with my GPS I will...
turn the phone off
take out the battery
then put it back in.
Most of the time the GPS will then work.
i've never had the gps not work completely on the atrix. i've noticed that with certain roms and radios will take longer to get a signal and less reliable once locked. not sure if this will fix your gps problem but try flashing homebase its one of the best roms out there and gps works great for me, i get a signal lock in my house. it also doesnt loose any features like CM7 with webtop and fingerprint. it will install the latest kernal(faux), rom(2.3.4), and radio(1.77.30). its very easy to flash just use CWM or rom manager. theres a few versions of homebase, try the blue chronic and update using blue chronic 6.2. remember to clear cache before you flash and run the finalizer after the update.
Thank you for the recommendation. I didn't see this before I installed the alien rom and I must say I love the look. The GPS works great now too. Everything is in working order and worked fine for about 3 days and then today my battery wouldn't charge past 65%. I'm in the process of killing it to 0 and then charging it back up too see if that will fix it. Anyone else heard of this?

The battery thing happened to me yesterday on stock GB. I think Diviance mentioned that he's seen this a few times on Aura, as well as some other ROMs. I just kept using it as normal, and I think after my 3rd charge it went back to 100. (I had just re-calibrated my battery so I was too lazy to do it again.)
You can try discharging as you mentioned, but other than that I haven't seen a sure fire fix for this. It seems to pop up over and over, across different ROMs.
Oh as long as it fixes itself eventually, no worries. Thanks alot for the info!

In my experience last cm7.2 works well with agps (gps and data enabled) and it's tooo slow without data enabled.
In zeubea's cm9 gps seems not to work at all in latest release, at least in my case, fixs satellites but don't lock your position, with data enabled estimates your location considering umts or wifi (precision more than 600 meters).
I'm using 47.51.35.17U_7.13.35.05 but I'm not sure it makes difference.
I have the best experience with Blay0's ROM B 0.8.4 ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866849 ). When I had a GPS-fix in the last time, I get a new fix in 10-15 seconds. The app GpsFix (market link) helps to get a short fix time.

CyanogenMod 7.2 stable - GPS problems
I just installed CM 7.2 on a few HTC Legend phones, only to find that with their radio, version 47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L, the GPS does not work with CM 7.2 at all. When I start a program that tries to use the GPS, nothing happens. Not even the GPS icon appears in the status bar.
This is strange, because this is the radio version most newer HTC Legend phones come with.
I downgraded the radio to the next-older version I could find, 47.39.35.09_7.08.35.21. With this the GPS icon starts to blink, but never gets a fix. However, after I reboot the phone, it works. It still takes a relatively long time, at least a minute, to get a first fix, but works better afterwards.
This is a bad trap, because somebody who does not try the reboot trick may come to the wrong conclusion that this radio does not work with CM 7.2 and flash an unnecessarily old radio.
I have stopped testing and wanted to ask here first whether anybody has already done some more thorough tests with different radio versions and found which one works best, not only concerning the GPS, but also all the other radio functions. Which radio should I flash with CyanogenMod 7.2?

I don't know where your getting your information from, but its very out dated.
Radio version
47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L is from what I could find out is the first radio for legend, Radio_47.39.35.09_7.08.35.21
is the second version released, there has been 2 even newer versions released since
Radio_47.51.35.17H_7.13.35.05
&
Radio_47.54.35.20U_7.13.35.13, this one I believe is supposed to be only for America.
If you look in the dev section you will find those 2 newer versions.
Its a pitty that there is no change log available to find out what the difference is between them all.

A Nandroid backup does not contain the radio.
Apparently the radio firmware is considered as closer to the hardware than to the software, too close to include it in a backup.

I had an old, semi-defective Legend and tried the apparently newer 7.51.35.17.zip radio on it. It works very well. Unlike some older radios it got a GPS fix at first try.
The ZIP package has the same structure as the other ones, so if it contains malware, it would have to be in the radio.img file.
My first guess is that, if somebody wanted to write Android malware, he would not start with a software component that is specific to one meanwhile oldish phone and then not care whether it remains mostly unknown. No proof, of course, but I will flash this radio into a couple of Legends and see how it goes.
Another observation: The radio version numbers consist of four numbers, similar to an IP address. However, the first number is always 7, and the third number is always 35. This indicates to me that this is not a hierarchical number, raising the question whether the second or the fourth number is the better indication of progress. What if the second number is just some code for some other characteristic? In that case ...35.26L would be the latest and greatest.
Actually I tend to think that the second number counts up the version. If so, then 7.51 would be a lot newer than any of the others.

I have read on other threads for lots of other android phones that if you flash wrong radio firmware it will destroy your phone.
The malware side is if it is fake, then flashing it would distroy the phone and you wouldn't get it back.

Zubea CM9Beta3
Has someone tested the new CM9Beta3?
Cause I have trouble with my GPS with that new Build. When I start a GPS using App, it does not always show a GPS Symbol like it should. Sometimes theres no Symbol, sometimes there is the symbol but its not blinking.
And the next is, when I end the GPS usign app the symbol remains in its state. Disable and Endable the GPS doesnt change anything on the Symbol but the App tells me that the GPS is disabled.
So is it just the Symbol wich is bugged or also the GPS? Cause it takes veery long.
When I remember Right the problem wasnt there on Beta1 or 2.
Any Ideas?

So is it just the Symbol wich is bugged or also the GPS? Cause it takes veery long.
When I remember Right the problem wasnt there on Beta1 or 2.
Any Ideas?

My very first try of GPS on beta 3, it took 218 seconds for lock, this was in the dash of my car driving along.
Btw that was without any mods or "GPS fixes"... straight out of the box.

I never get a GPS lock how much ever time I wait, even outdoors. It doesn't work in the latest stock rom also. I tried various GPS fixes from the market but nothing works and I searched the forum too. It used to work properly a year ago. Please help...
Thanks in advance.

1. Suggestion: Try GPS Status app => free from Play store.
Works fine on my SGS2.
2. Suggestion: Try to flash stock ROM, and do a factory reset/wipe data after flashing. Maybe there is something messed up in your ROM for GPS.
3. Suggestion: If your still on warranty, go the the store/service center and try to get a replacement. Maybe it is a kind of hardware defect.
Good luck !

Well, it is out of warranty but it worked fine initially. Thanks for the quick reply. Will try the other suggestions...

I've started having GPS problems from a few days ago, did the whole flashing to stock then back to my one, re-flashed the kernels, tried faster fix. BUT still no joy, was working absolutely fine until now.
Same for me. Upgrade from lp7 to lpf and now i don't get a fix.
With gps test i even see 11 satellite in view, but don't get a fix.
I tried gps aids to inject xtra data but nothing...

NO IM SURE NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF GOOGLE EVER.
Anyways, I am in a similar situation and was going to make my own thread but I'll start here.
Been running stock 4.0.3 for a few weeks but wanted to flash touchwiz ux back on because I kind of missed it. So I rooted again and behold, sucked back in to flashing all the new roms I haven't tried.
Problem-and the reason I am posting this to general q&a- is this ; Across all the roms that I flash (slim ics , rootbox, rr 2.6 etc and 3 different custom kernels)- the GPS cannot get a lock.
When I revert back to my nandroid stock 4.0.3 cf root its fine. And TBH I could get a kick out of slim being my daily so I've been searching ask Jeeves and Bing (the only two searches I've ever heard of) and trying many things to no success. Could some one point me to a thread that has helped you if you've had the same problem? Much appreciated.

i had gps problems when using cm9, but since i flashed sensation rom 3.5, my gps started working again.
so its software based, you could try agps patch

No it isn't - if you look further than the end of your nose, you will realise.
Be a little more circumspect...

Thanks. About to compose a reply in that thread now as I have tried it on all but 1 of the four roms I flashed today with the same results. Both 3.1 versions fail and abort on flash in cwm. 3.0 passes and the problem remains.

My GPS has miraculously started working again, strange! Solar flare it might have been then by the looks of things?
