Hi,
Is there connection with modem and GPS signal or GPS is connected with kernel you chose ?
My GPS dont work anymore in google maps and I dont know why?
SG S2
ROM: SlimROM 4.2 RC2
If far as I know, no it doesn't. I use the same ROM as you and Google maps worked fine for me a few hours ago

I've seen guys talk about modems having nothing to do with WiFi or GPS, they keep writing that modem is responsible solely for 2g/3g networking. Also, I've seen a post where a dude is claiming that he can have a GPS fix in the middle of the desert, without any networks. That's no GSM signal, no WiFi, and says he had a fix.
So, let's settle this question once and for all: is a baseband/modem connected to people's GPS signal? (other than - they get a faster fix if they have a working modem that enables them to have a working internet connection and therefore have a faster fix).
If yes - how can a different modem impact GPS performance? If not - what does in fact matter to get better/faster GPS fix?
Thanks
In one word, no. You'll get a quicker fix if you A-GPS & your carriers network helps determine your location (which obviously requires data connectivity & your modem may well have a say in that). But you can absolutely get a fix with the GPS unit in the phone on it's own with no network coverage. GPS drivers are in the kernel I imagine.
AFAIK neither the kernel nor modem has got any influence on the same (GPS) other than determining ur Location initially vide Wifi/2G/3G/4g etc.
if ur GPS is not wrk'ng properly means either there is some hardware influence (faulty one) or may be lack of sattelites to lock on for or the app thats trying to access ur location (google maps in ur case) is not wrk'ng properly.
1) Try uninstalling maps and then retry installing it back afresh from stores.
2) install 'Faster Fix' or 'A-Gps' or 'Gps fix' apps and see
3)Also try changing ur Rom and see
PS- if u have Custom kernel like 'Siyah' or 'Dorimanx' then u can use the 'Stweak' app that comes along with it to set ur GPS region in it for a faster lock
So.....GPS autonomy or not?
My guess still no autonomy, back then again, what do I know.

Everything is working again after formating/deleting and installing new ROM ver.
Thanks everybody for help !

Hi folks! I have a question. My friend has htc hero with latest official rom (dunno what it is). He is a traveler and wants gps to work without using data connection, bcs it's extremely expensive on his operator. He said, that in android 1.6 there was pure gps and it needn't to use data connection to receive location. If he uses any app like gps status or nav app without data connection, gps doesn't receive location. I have samsung device and there is an app, called AngryGPS, there i can change everything about gps settings, including SUPL server and how gps will work (MSBASED or STANDALONE). How can i change settings on his hero? Maybe by porting this app on hero? Rooting is not a problem, i can make it, if it's necessary.
added: if i turn off receiving location from wireless networks in android settings, it not helps
P.S.: Sorry for my poor english

Use iGo for android...it's easy to use and only gps is req...no data connection, i used it a time ago and was very pleased with it...the menu is a little laggy put don't worry because it works well on the phone, without having any problems.
Keep me updated if you got the problem solved

he said, that he uses Maverick and don't want to change it, he wants to change system settings to use gps in standalone mode

there are data & gps apps...so if you don't use a data connection you can't download content...that's why i recommend iGO for android
Stefan
he needs not to download content, he needs to connect to GPS without enabling data connection. Anyway, problem solved by installing patched version of angrygps and editing operation mode of gps module

that why i recommended iGO, it uses the maps preloaded on the sd card...
you completely ignore my messages? or my english is SO bad?
HIS GPS WON'T CONNECT WITHOUT DATA CONNECTION IS UP! Not the freaking nav application! Maverick uses preloaded maps too, GPS Status&Toolbox doesn't use maps at all, Turbo GPS doesn't use maps, every program that uses GPS to receive location or establishing connection with sattelites DOESN'T receive location or establish connection without data connection!
Now the problem is clear?
As i told, problem is solved
And iGO is total ****

Hi, my gps does not seem to work on cognition 1.51 rom. when i try to find my location in google maps i just get the message 'your current location is temporary unavailable'
It has been working on previous versions of the rom and my data and wifi connections are working fully i believe. Has anyone else had the same issue who can help me resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance
Nope works for me .
Suggest backup data factory reset rom.
Or reflash Cognition in case of a bad flash .
jje
Ok first:
settings>>Location and security>>
Use wirelles networks (mark)
Use GPS satellites (mark)
I tried re-flashing that didnt help.
"Use wirelles networks (mark) Use GPS satellites (mark)" This enables me to pinpoint my location. But is this not just using the the mobile and wifi networks rather than the gps. If only gps is selected the it cant find my location again.
You can try the old trick turn GPS on .
Leave with a clear view of the sky for half an hour .
GPS tool from market may also help.

Managed to get it working, I used gpstest as recommended. I just left the gps running and after about 10mins the phone decided it wanted to connect to the satelites, Now it connects to them pretty much straight away.
Thank all for your help
Hi,
I have this wired issue with my i9100, that when I turn on the GPS, the data connection/3g is autmatically turned off! They will not stay on at the same time nomather what I do.
Espcially frustrating when using google maps function, as when the GPS turns on to locate your position, I can not search up any places since there is not data connection. Impossible to use for navigation etc, and when you move/zoom on the map the phone cant download the new correct map since there is no data connection:S
I'm currently using KJ3 firmware, with KI1 modem, But have been having the same issue with the earlier KI4 firmware.
Any suggestions?

Does it work with GPS and wifi on?
Have you already tried another navigation app, or is it only in Google maps?
If only Google maps, then try to clear app data and/or uninstall app and re-install it again.
If this issue is only for GPS and mobile data connection (3G/HSDPA) and not app-specific, then it could be a hardware problem.
I am running on stock XWKJ3 ROM (XXKI3 modem) and have no issues for GPS and mobile data connection.
Are you still on warranty?
Good luck !
Hi,
I'm just wondering why my GPS doesn't work without internet connection. It just can't connect to any sattelite. I'm currently using PFGPS v2.0 FIX for my country (Poland) and I don't see any changes. What is wrong?
It requires Internet to load the maps
Can I load maps now to use GPS without internet connection if I'm not in wifi area?

I'm at home now so I can do it cause I have wifi here :/

so you have wifi that means you are connected to the internet!!!
for GPS it can only find your position but can't display your location on a map without an internet connection so GPS needs one.
I will wait for answer from another person. Thank you.
There is an application on the market(related to sports/tracking) that allows you to download a portion of a map and then you can use your GPS offline(no data connection). When I get home I will look for it(I have it on my tablet).
Correct me if I am wrong but Brajano95 means that is it possible to load the maps on his wifi connection and keep then saved when he is out and about to allow the gps to connect. You used to be able to do this in the google labs section on google maps but they've since taken it away unless you look for an older version. Otherwise have a look for third party map app on the android market which allows downloading of map data to the phone

Thats exactly what I'm talking about! Now I'm downloading Sygic Aura (about 550 mb) and will test it later.
Because GPS and Maps on CM7 suck balls at best. Maps is using your I.P. for the GPS coordinates when on WIFI, without it Maps is counting on a reliable signal from your GPS; and that's just not going to happen with CM7.

You can use iGo My Way
I know a fair bit about the GPS module in the Ace so i will comment. I think someone has already told you that it is possible to operate the Ace with preloaded maps. Likewise, i thought that the OP's choice of Sygic Navigation is a fair one.
Back to the original question in the title. GPS can operate with or without internet be it wifi or data e.g. 3G/2G. The difference is how fast you can obtain a GPS lock. Without using any positioning help from data connectivity, you are looking at a lock time of possibly 15 minutes thereabout.
There are 4 modes of operation possible for the GPS module in the Ace which is actually Qualcomm's GpsONE.
1.) Standalone (Slowest using positioning information in cache and smart polling)
2.) MS-Based (Sends data to nearby cell tower(s) and makes use of GPS transceivers in the cell tower(s)
3.) MS-Assisted (Similar to MS-Based BUT data connectivity is broken when GPS transceiver is online. I don't quite like that!)
4.) MS-Based/Hybrid (You need to have superb data connectivity probably cell tower signal strength should be in the -50dBm region. Not very useful in real life usage)
i have had my own thread for fixing GPS, so read up if you want to know more here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320626
first you need the maps to use it offline, and the correct gps.conf for your location http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284506, then you can use it without internet
Mapdroyd is a great app that allows you to download maps for offline use. Unfortunately there isn't offline navigation though..
Hi,
I've solved my problem, just install Sygic! Thanks for helping guys
btw u dont need too install anything.. go to google labs inside maps and add map cache.. now long press a location on map.. click the arrow on the address and u ll see an option to cache that area.. the steps may not be accurate as i tried it a long time back and dont have my phone with me but its possible and what u have to do will be more or less the same...
Hi,
i've just flashed a CM9 nightly from CM 7. All goes well but Wifi.
It do1es connect to my SSID without problem but it's quite long to connect to websites.
I use CoolTool to monitor instant data bandwith usage.
For instance, clicking on a link in (any) browser shows the page loading progress bar immediatly but it remains stuck for a few seconds and CoolTool chart doesn't show any data activity.
Then the wifi icon actually starts to show data transmission and CoolTool shows up to 1.5MB/s rates and the page loads immediatly.
So that's the 5-6 secondes delay between http connection request and establishment that concerns me. I hadn't this problem before on CM 7 and my Wifi network hasn't changed.
I tried stock CM9 kernel and siyah 3.3.3b along with XXLPS, XXLPW and XXLPX modems on CM9 20120708 NIGHTLY.
Did anyone notice this ? Any ideas on how i can solve this issue ?

1)u can try clearing data/cache of the browser and see
2) also u can use some alternate browser from play stores and check for the same
3)modem doesn't have any effect on ur wifi since its related to ur data connection on ur netwrk so no need to change the same unless u have any netwrk issue

Thanks for your answer. I tried all this without success.
Same behaviour on firefox, opera, chrome, dolphin, youtube app, facebook app, play store, ...
Again, 3G connection is perfect and reactive. It's just when using wifi.
Anyone else got an idea ?

you could try using the ki4 modem this works well for lots of people.
