Hi guys,
After rooting my s2 I put the helly bean 4.1.2 ROM. Everything works fine, except the maps.
Post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940321 for the custom ROM.
I cant get any location with 3g or GPS enabled with the Google maps. And I have it enabled from the location access in the settings.
It says always 'your current location is temporarily unavailable' and I can't fix it.
If I am connected to a WiFi then it works, but if I am home I don't need it.
Does anybody know what to do? I am using maps almost every day and now i cant.

My network signal in general you mean ? it is good , but comparing to other phones near me (from friends) , it could be better!
How can i flash an other modem ? is it worth it ?
Well...you could try that. It can't never hurt.
Might want to search for Flashing modems thread, you're gonna bump into Odin there.

Thank you very much , i am searching for a modem in my region , otherwise i will just flash any of them and see what happens.
In sammobile.com which file should i download? Where it says download the files are big , i think these are ROMs. (when i was flashing a rom i also downloaded from there my original rom in case something happens)
hmmm..I'm pretty sure there are modems there too, I dunno.
But yeah, go ahead and change modems to see what happens with that crazy gps and all.

Are you having issues hearing, or flat out not connecting to the network at all?
Cannot connect to TMobile after updating to ICS
I have the same problem.
After updating my Samsung Vibrant T959 to ICS, I cannot connect to T-mobile. The network kept searching for the available network but did not find anything.
My Wifi worked OK, I could search the web, but I could not connect to T-mobile to make a call.
Please help.
Thanks,
Tommy
I tried JB recently but since then I have had almost none existent Wifi. It tries to connect but then says Authentication failed.
I appreciate there is a known issue with JB roms not having an updated Bootloader or something of that nature, and I have also read that it is possible to fix the issue by using Odin to revert back to stock.
These are the steps I have taken:
1. Flash Stock Rom using Odin.
2. Reflash Stock Rom using Odin but also updating bootloader.
I have heard that the above steps do indeed fix the issue, but unfortunately I have found no evidence to suggest that.
As there are many people using JB now (well at least there are plenty of ASOP and Stock JB roms knocking about), has anyone else had this issue, and if so, has anyone got a nice step-by-step tutorial on fixing the Wifi issue?
I really need help now, as my phone is almost unusable without a Wifi connection.
Thanks in advance!

There was an issue about wifi in older leaks but it has been solved already. I suggest you should try latest jellybean leak XXDLI1. you will not have to full wipe... so dont worry. you will not lose any data or app or anything....
I've just installed CheckROM EVO HD 5.0 and my Wifi signal is still weak.
You mentioned in your reply that Wifi is fixed in newer JB builds, but why didn't it work going back to ICS stock either?
Really need an answer for this as I'm going round in circles.
I actually never tried going back to ICS.when I had the same problem I just flashed the newer JB and it worked like charm. Try installing different modem..

Does the modem really affect Wifi? I would assume that the modems only relate to the GSM capabilities of the phone.

In that case restore to ICS and wait for JB to be released by Samsung .

As you said before that you already installed back ics which also has different kernel than jb that you used and it didn't worked as well, so tests why I said TRY installing different modem.

why not just download a different rom? lots of custom roms such as hypergalaxy are nice light and basically stock but faster
Problem found!
Ok....I've found the problem.
It appears that my WIFI refuses to connect to any WIFI running on the 2.4Ghz spectrum. Whether I set security as Open/WEP/WPA/WPA2 etc I cannot connect unless I am literally within a metre of the Access Point.
Luckily at my workplace we have 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz spectrums available for WIFI. If I only allow the 5Ghz spectrum on my phone I can connect to the APs without an issue! Leaving my phone on 'Auto', allowing both 2.4 and 5 I cannot connect.
The problem here is, my home router, as with most people, doesn't support 5Ghz, and being with Sky Broadband I cannot get access to my Broadband account details. This of course means I cannot replace my router! :-/ I can however connect a new router to the network, disable AP on the Sky router and enable AP on the new 5Ghz router.
....so I have a work-around!
But this isn't enough! WHY WHY WHY does my phone have problems with 2.4Ghz???
Steps I have taken (in no particular order):
Flashed back to Stock, gone from Stock to Rooted ICS, ICS to JB, back again, and in every combination
Disabled Wireless Power-saving on my phone
Flashed various kernels
Flashed various modems (yes I know modems have nothing to do with Wifi...but some people on this forum insist this can fix Wifi issues)
....and NONE of the above have worked.
Could this be a hardware issue?
Anyone else experience this?
HI :l
this is my first post in XDA >>
I have Galaxy S2 [ i9100 ] and the GPS suddenly stop working after updating to android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean [ Leaked]..
there is no icon appears in the notification bar EVEN within GPS app>> it just says looking for GPS location [see the pic in the attachment]
I tried to solve this problem by downloading several apps from the google play such as gps fix and GPS status but no luck>>
I tried to install another ROM such CM10.1 , official ICS 4.0.4 also no luck ...
do you think the GPS is dead??
PLEASE ANY ONE CAN HELP ME ?
I am trying to solve it>>

i am stuck>> any helppp ?
mine too isnt working the way it should...

Anyone can answer to this? This is happening to mine too. Been over a month without GPS functionality now. Please help us.
Usually its a hardware problem if something isnt working on a stock Samsung firmware. If you have warranty, better go to the service centre. Other than that, cant think of any solution right now, apart from trying different kernels/roms which you have already tried.
Good luck

I'm on NeatRom 4.2 and was facing the same GPS problem. Went to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881304, went to the "Download" page, clicked on "Android 4.1.2 JB" folder and downloaded the "ModemRIL_XXLS8.zip" file. Flashed it via Recovery and viola, GPS was back and working.
You can do this for ICS 4.0.4 or any other version of Android/Firmware you may be having on your phone.
I guess you guys should try and same and report if it worked for you or not.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10.1 RC1- Changing default RIL => Search network errors / can't call
First of I would like to thanks everyone jobs for the work you made to help us.
I'm having a wired issue with the cm-10.1.3-RC1-i9100 I have installed yesterday.
The thing is like this:
Ones installed I can talk and connect to internet with data connectivty just fine, but sometimes I have a drop signal. So I figure it out this could be related to a RIL / Modem issue.
The default RIL that comes with the ROM is XXLS8 and the modem is the one I have from my stock ROM. In this case UHMS1 (JB 4.1.2 Stock).
Every time I tried to change the RIL with GetRIL to match or not with my modem then I cant't make calls, and every time I search for networks I get an error. If I try to change the modem, same issue.
So I Re-flash, all works good again, drop signal sometimes when using data connection, so I change the RIL or the MODEM => can't make calls, search network error. (Loop)
Now I switch back to stock and all works again.
APNs and every configuration are good. Is not related to that.
I'm from Argentina, and my carrier is Movistar. Tried UHMS1 modem a lot of UH*** and XX***. I tried every RIL in GetRIL app.
Is like ones installed I can't change RIL or the MODEM without having this issue.
If you already know about this issue, please accept my apologies, and maybe you could give a link where I can follow at it.
Thanks in advance.
First mate don't use getril. It's out of date an always shows ls8 ril. Second don't change ril on cm rom. You will break some parts and not be able to makes calls. Try flashing just modem till you find the one that works for you.

Hello. I have huge problems with my modem. My baseband version is I9100XXMS4 (I installed it together with new ROM, since it was included in another ZIP file). But after some battery problems I noticed that my phone signal is quite low and RIL battery usage is very high. So I downloaded an app in Google Market called GetRIL, and it reported that my baseband and RIL doesn't match and recommended installing matching RIL(i9100XXMS4). After installing it, the signal immediately jumped up from two bars to all four, but new problems arose. I couldn't call anyone & when someone called my phone, it didn't show that anyone was calling (I could receive messages and browse internet with mobile network though). So I thought that I should try different RILs and see if they fix my problem. As I found out that with other RILs I could call people, but still couldn't receive no notification that they are calling me. In the end, I was again stuck with the starting RIL ( KitKat( I9100XXLS6; I9100XXLS8 ) ). Now there are no problems, but my signal is two-three bars.
Could anyone link me to correct baseband, so I could get good signal with no problems. I asked my friend, who has the same phone as me, just not rooted and his baseband version was I9100XXMS2, but I couldn't find any links to it anywhere on the internet.
Some information if it is useful:
Android version - 4.4.4
Location: Latvia (Europe)
Thanks.

Here is the link to the zip to reinstall the modem. It includes the proper ril that comes with the modem. Next time, don't use getril. It is a horrible app as it is inaccurate and is known to cause damage to phones.
Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qmisbpdqi5mjhbq/ModemRIL_XXMS4.zip
All I can say is that I can't help you with low signal. You will have to experiment since I don't live in your country and don't have the same carrier.

Thanks for the help and advice. Unfortunatly I have been inactive for 3 days, so the dropbox link has expired(?). I was woundering would you have link for XXMS2, becuase I am sure that it's going to work fine, since my friend has it (he has the same phone) and I was unable to find link to it online. If you don't have it, then could you please share the same XXMS4 again?
Thanks.
