Hello
Is it only me or I'm having issues with GPS takes a lot of time to fix and also the position is far beyond invalid
It used to be so good with my x10(the only thing I feel it lags on my s2) I'm a traveller and I find Google maps much useful and I'm lost without it. Can anyone help?
Also I've tried changing ndp using fasterfix from the market. Any help would be appreciated

More info: Is it stock rom or custom rom, which modem, have you ever changed radios.
Are you on the rom for your region?
Its cognition plus speedmod I never changed radio

Am using sgs2 in delhi..n i have absolutely no complaints..gps is smooth as butter and took me to weirdest of places in those galis near nizammudin station too.
And also FYI my s2 takes about 3-5 seconds to catch a gps signal while first starting the map application.

Nope, I'm in Bangalore and GPS is working perfectly. Super fast lock on (usually less than 10 seconds), solid stability, all well.

Same here. I'm in Delhi and the GPS is working perfectly fine....locks in less than 5 seconds.
BTW, i'm on LeoMar 2.7.1 rom, moden KI3, Siyah's 1.7.7 kernel.
I am on stock rom and experiencing same issue never happened on my x 10

When you bought the phone and got it home did you take the phone outside and wave to the man in the satellite to let him know you should be on his connection list .

Well problem for me too..takes around 5 to 7 mins to get a lock...once it does its fine though...m on stock ke8...should rooting or updating software improve this?

Check your A-GPS server. I had very poor performance using the normal A-GPS location servers but then changed it to xtra1.gpsonextra.net using FasterFix and now it locks much much quicker and the accuracy has improved (my location is no longer 20 meters away from where I actually am).
Hi,
I am KI3 and lives in chennai...
i have no issues with GPS...its gets a better accuracy like 3-4 mtrs outside my apartment.....inside my home, its kind of Ok, but i will live with it...why i need gps inside my home
and i always use directions>maps whenever i want to goto some place and till now my SGS2 baby it never let me down....she will come and direct me whereever i want to go....
may be try flashing KI3.....
Gps works awesome for me in delhi.no issues at all

This is real weird. As of last week sometime, my phone will stop all data connections or wifi connections after about 6 hours post reboot. The only way for it to work again is to reboot. I'm assuming it's an app of some sort causing this because I did a fresh install and the problem is persisting. I have uninstalled all new apps I've installed over the past week as well. Anyone have anything similar or possible solutions? Running CM7 N214 & DCs 8.9.1.

I was actually seeing this as well, but not consistently enough to report it. Was happening on all the nightlies I'd been on after n13x (which was one in the 15x range, and a couple 20x ones). When it did happen for me, it was usually about the same time of day, so I think it might have been on a 24 hour cycle (I don't normally power my device off, so it was probably hitting at 24 hours after the reboot to fix the last one). The strangest part was that the connection icon color would continue to show a google connection, and if I was on 3g the up/download arrows would light as I would expect. Just no data traffic. Was running DC8.9.1 on all of the above nightlies.
this is not so much of a wifi issue but i did loose my data connection twice in the past month. the first time i was outside and i wanted to check my email but i couldn't. i was abel to send and receive texts messages and was abel to make and receive phone calls but no data was available and no internet. i try re booting the phone but still no data. about two hours later i check to see if i have internet, and it was working all by it self. not sure if this was my phone or a AT$T network thing. the second time i was leaving from my home wifi to my AT$T 3g network but the data connection was unavailable, no internet. but this time a reboot fixed it. i have had my aria for about a year now and this has never happen before. this may vary easily be a network, cell tower thing and nothing is wrong with my phone.

That definitely sounds like a network issue because it's not repetitive or consistent.

Hi,
I've been having the wifi/data drop issue since 2.3.7. I was hoping nightly 242 would solve it. No mas. Lost data connection after ten hours. Flash 208 and all data/wifi issues disappear.
Stock kernel. DC's kernel doesn't seem to affect the issue for better or worse.
Will keep lurking over at the developers forum...
John
I use the stock kernel and I think this problem is affecting my Aria too. Wifi usually doesn't die until about 2 or 3 days.
Flashed 243 and DC's 8.9.2a kernel yesterday. No data loss all day and was still connected this morning when I woke the phone up. Just flashed 244 and 8.9.2a. We'll see how long connection lasts.
John
I had to reboot my phone running stock 242 today. Wifi showed connected but the Market took almost 60 secs to open. Opening "my apps" didn't work. Reboot cured all.
The problem has been narrowed down to drowningchild's kernel. If you are using this kernel, just reflash your nightly to revert back to the stock kernel and all will be fixed. To follow this problem since it is not fixed yet, refer to this kernel's thread in the development section.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA Premium App
For me, the problem started with 2.3.7 and continued whether I ran DC's kernels or not. Flashing nightly 208 eliminated the problem, but of course, who wants to go backwards?

Did you do a full wipe when going Fromm 2.3.5 to 2.3.7? I haven't heard of anyone with stock kernel issues.

I've been having this problem for a few weeks now. I thought it was just me. I was driving using google maps and had to pull over and reboot since my data decided to crap out at the worst possible time.

I'm pretty sure some over in the "Nightly builds starting!" thread mentioned drops with the stock kernel.
No, I didn't do a full wipe. So far, I haven't noticed any drops since 244 with DC's 8.9.2a kernel. Fingers crossed.

Oh, ok. I just didn't recall any, but I could be wrong. I think for best results, you need to full wipe when going from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7. Also, I have heard that 8.9.2a is still dropping for some with the recent nightlies. I have had no problem with the stock kernel, as I did a wipe when going to 2.3.7.
I was the one having probs with the stock kernel, but a format and flash of 242 fixed it. Been running fairly good since then.
I did a full wipe and flash of N245 + DC 8.9.2a tonight. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. So far, GPS locks in less than 5 seconds.
FWIW, I also did not flash the very latest gapps, the 08282011 version. Does that matter?
John
OK, the big drop came about fifteen hours after wipe/flash w/8.92a. Airplane mode toggle did not bring connection back. Flashed N245 again. This time I'll try the stock kernel and see how it goes.

The gapps version won't matter with regards to a data drop. I am running the 6/13 gapps.

Hey XDA
I've a problem with my SGSII.
I've tried a lot different roms like CM7, CheckRom, Oxygen, miui to find the perfect rom to fix my battery usage(my phone usally last for MAX 1 day, even on low usage. (Is this normal??, my friend get like 5 days with his SGSII)
Anyway, on pretty much all of the ROMs above I've occurred a problem with my internet connection - When my phone is idle for a while I looser internet connection and then I have to restart my phone to fix it.
Anyone with similar problem?
Is my phone defect?
Any way to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
This is my first thread on XDA, I hope I did it correctly (I've checked out suggested threads btw)
the problem with the internet connection is because of the signal is not resetting itself. You can use signalreset (market) app as a solution otherwise flash a stock firmware ROM from sammobile and see whether the problem is solved!
My Wi Fi stops working the same way too. All I do is that I reconnect WiFi from the notification bar.

Thank you for such a great and fast answer!
I will check out Signalreset asap, however if it just en/disable flightmode I am not sure if it helps. Because when it happened I always try en/disable flightmode, without luck - I have to restart to make it work :-/
Soo... it's a generel failure in some deeper laying hard- or software, that's not dependent of the generel software-version.
I'm starting to hate my phone, as it is loosing connection again and again, but only after updating to KI8_NEE. There has not been ANY problems with KI3_NEE, which worked perfectly and rocksolid - and solved the same problem from the previous versions... KI8 may be smoother, but i prefer stability over this generel failure (there's a lot of generel faults, not just lost data-connection).
If that the case, i'm going to smash this phone, or put KI3 back on it... i have been so happy with it, but after upgrading to KI8 - i'm starting to develop a hate-relationship with it...
My old HTC might be slow - but it is dead-on stable...
After trying the signalreset it still doenst work properly.
Any suggestions?

What baseband are you on?
I'm on XWKI1 on AT&T in south Florida and my connection is rock solid now.
That was not the case when I first got the phone with the factory ROM and baseband.

No I dont, I've tried Juice Defender but it didnt help my battery life so I uninstalled it..
I've tried a few days with the stock unrooted and the problem didnt occur, however the internet was still extremely slow, even when I had full signal.
Is there an application to boost signal/speed and/or fix problems?
Hey.
I have a Galaxy Ace, and usually I was using it with the original firmware of Samsung (Vodafone Portugal operator).
Last week after long periods of inactivity the mobile just stops to work for an hour or something like that, I mean the screen just does not answer to my touches.
So I thought it was some software problem, and I decided to install the CM7. The problem continues. So now, very often when I wake up, my mobile doesn't work for a while (even if i disconnect the battery... just work if I let the battery out of the phone for around 10 minutes).
I recorded a video with the problem of the phone.
Any help would be fantastic.
Thanks in advance.

okkkkkk man but ur baseband is same try different framework like ddkq or kph one.
U mean install another rom?
And when it freeze do you have wifi turned on? If yes try to set in wifi settings no turning wifi off while is screen locked...
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
I don't think so, but I will make the test tonight.
I'll post the results tomorrow.
Yeah a stock rom(ddkq or kph ones) then install icsunday2 ...
Best combo
...
........
.............
Reason-these rom's are scratch roms like cm7 or icsunday they need a Stock rom or baseband to work.the Roms like sangingeracelite change ur baseband.that's why changing ur baseband might help

plzzzz hit thanks if I helped you in any means .......
hmmmm, i think you have problem with hardware
Try to check your device in service...
Good luck man
I checked the Wi-Fi thing, and today the phone worked good. So I guess that is not the reason.
Yeah, it will be the best option. I've to go to a Samsung service.
I will post the news ASAP.
Thank you all!
in stock rom have problems with wifi too
after installation cm have no problem more
I use a X829 4/64 GB and i recently noticed that i DO NOT HAVE ANY MOBILE NETWORK SIGNAL on Sim 1 (no data no calls). The truth is that during the last time i stopped using my le max 2 as my daily phone, so although i flashed many different " eui" roms i did not tried to insert my sim cards in the phone and try make any calls as i had no problem in the past. Yesterday i flashed AICP - Oreo - X2 (very good by the way) and this time i have the same problem with Sim 2. Some members have created similar threads in the past but i did not found any solution. I really wonder if someone here has any idea or any solution

I did not went back to stock. I flashed the zip when i was on latest Cuoco92 23s rom (coming from Oreo, as i was trying to find a solution) and then i flashed Oreo again. In both cases i had both sim cards wotking with a better (as i belieeve) network signal than the previous months i used my phone
I had the same problem with my network and the newest cuoco92 rom, but flashing the zip-file of andr68rus seems to have solved the problem! At least at the moment, the networks works again und I also have the feeling, the strength of the connection is much better than ever before!
Update:
The flash somehow only worked shortly. After a day or so, I had the same problem again. No network at all ( (neither data nor for phone calls), although the phone shows good network connetction! Strange.

For testing reasons i'm using the phone continuously for more than two weeks and i have not any problem at all. Considering that the network signal is better either at my home and at my work i believe that the zip from andr68rus made the "miracle". Of course i do not know what the zip file really did after flashing it (and if the better network signal is because of it) but i can "enjoy" the results
can i flash this on oreo

My sim sometimes shows no service when I switch data from 1 sim to another sim. After restart or several times turning on/off then it shows my sim.
Don't know if it's rom related issue or not but I want to try this zip as users reported that it works like magic.
Is it OK to flash?
Thankyou for your response

When you switch data from the one sim to the other it is normal to loose the signal for a while . It happens with every phone but normally the signal "comes" back again in a few seconds. I don't know if the zip will work for your problem but why don't you ask andr68rus "directly"?
So it's normal?
Yup that exact scenario. So if it's normal then I think it's ok.
I have already flashed this zip and now my data works better then ever. I have sent him pm but he didn't reply. Now you already cleared things up for me. Thanks for your response.
Can someone tell me does both sim slots supports LTE or not?
I am wondering if it might be possible, that this data connection issue is related to the battery status of the phone?
At least, with a fully charged battery fresh from the charger (for example in the morning), I typically always have good connection. The same when loading during the day. But then, and after a while without charging I loose connection or it gets more unstable at least.
Did somebody observe something similar?

It "sounds" strange. Personally i never had similar problems nad i think that this is not a common problem
I found that on a German website, the same problem that I observed concerning the network connection and the battery was also reported. For everybody able to read German, you find it here:
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/leeco-le-max-2-x820-x821-x822.2715/lte-bricht-zusammen-keine-verbindung-bei-akku-unter-60-mit-netzteil-ok.860971.html
They report that the network works very stable as long as the battery voltage is above 4 V. Once it is lower, the phone loses connection. If this is generally true, then this might be the problem in my case. With the phone coming from the charger, the voltage is about 4.3 V, but relatively quickly if falls below 4 V.
Is this purely a battery problem? Or could maybe some software modifications somehow help?

Please add me to update.
As mentioned in another thread, I have been experiencing the same problem when the battery level goes down to 70% or less (~4volt) the mobile network indicator still shows good signal but both voice and data stop working ie. cannot make or receive phone calls and no internet connectivity. But as soon as I plug in the charger, everything works perfectly.
