GPS issues on slimbean 2.1 & 2.5 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry for opening a new thread, but i'm not allowed to post to the dev thread.
I'm on slimbean 2.5 and can't get my GPS to work. It's searching and searching, but does not find signal. I've installed 2.1 with romnuke script (fullwipe) and then upgraded without wipe to 2.5 but had the gps issues already in 2.1. Tried fasterfix and set it to my region Germany without success.
Never had gps probs on any of my previous roms, tried resurrection, revolt, omega and alliance, so i think this is rom related.
Any suggestions on what do do? Might a kernel switch help? I've tried several dorimanx versions in the past, but had stability issues with all of them. Are there other jb/aokp kernels out there?
Thx for your help!

[Q] No GPS Signal (at all)

Hey everybody...
A few weeks ago (i think after the update to ICS) i realized that i dont have any satellite connection.
I tried different stock roms (Gingerbread and ICS), different Modems, different Kernels (CF Root, SpeedMod, Stock)... Still no success...
What could it be?
Check out faster fix in the Play store
also take a look at this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447599
ive always used then when ive flashed a new rom/updated.
Still no work for me. I dont have any idea what the problem could be...
Thanks anyways, hope someone else can help
Do you have gps.conf and sirfgps.conf files (in system/etc)?
Okay, i think im a little bit further now. I went back to Stock Rom, and Stock Kernel (LP7). And it worked fine!
Now i flashed the SpeedMod Kernel, no functionality again.
With the CF Root Kernel (CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5), still no functionality.

[Q] No Wifi at all on ICS and JB Roms

I've been trying to fix this for weeks, but I just can't find a working solution so I am asking you guys for help!
My WiFi works fine if im running a Gingerbread Rom, I currently have WIUI (the GB Version) flashed and the Wifi works fine. It won't work on any ICS and JB Roms however. I've tried MIUI, CM9, Resurrection (Both the ICS and JB Versions), F1 Galaxy Nexus, Lite'ning Rom, Paranoid Android and more, all I get is "Authentication Error". I tried to restart it several times, change the Network Security, the Radio Channel (I dont know it thats the proper translation, excuse my english), and installed various Apps (WiFix and such), Kernels, Modems etc but none of them seem to help.
I'm so frustrated with my Galaxy S2, so I'd be really grateful if someone could help me out!
You tried many ROMs, but WiFi is controlled by kernel :silly:
So, try other kernels.

[Q] Galaxy SII / I9100G - GPS lock issue

Hi Experts
I have i9100g with neatrom. I also wants to use custom rom because stock rom is very heavy and has lots of default service/process running
which makes device sluggis.
My problem is my GPS doesnt lock on custom AOSP roms. I have tried many version on CM from 9 to latest 11, Slim roms, MIUI, PA etc. GPS doesnt work
on any of them. The only custom rom on which my GPS works is OMNI ROM but problem is on OMNI rom also GPS takes very long time 5-10 minutes to lock
and many times doesnt lock at all.
using stock rom or neat rom GPS works like charm and lock time is around 10 sec without fail.
I heard some of the nightly builds of CM has this problem fixed but i couldnt find any. I have tried flashing a lots of roms.
Can somebody please let me know which version has this fix or is there any way to fix this issue?
I have tried all faster GPS kind of app on play store but didnt help. changing NTP server also didnt work.
I have read all the post related to this issue but coudn't find the solution.
PLEASE SOMEBODY HEAP....THIS GPS PROBLEM IS KILLING ME....NO MONEY FOR NEW PHONE
Thanks

[Q] Modem issues

Hello everyone. I've tried many modems (XXLS8, NELP4, XXKI4, BVLP7 etc.) but each of them had some different issue. First was loosing network, with second the front speaker stopped working, with some I wasn't able to hang up the phone - the red button only minimize "the call" to status bar... Just noone worked fine :\ I don't know what to do yet! Any advices, does RIL have to match with modem? (I have CM 10.1.3 stable)
I've had these issues when I've accedently flashed Samsung modems on CM ROM. If you're on CM or AOKP type ROM - reflash the ROM to get the default modem back. Don't flash other modems unless you're 100% sure it's made for non-stock ROMs.
Hey, I also had some issues tried more than 5 different modems that were supposed to be good and none worked. But then i started to go through all of the modems that are linked on the cyanogenmod wiki site for the i9100 and the 4 one solved it.
i think you should just keep on trying different modems. If you have issues with all 12, you can start looking somwhere else. Also don't touch the ril its apparently not a good idea.

No GPS with Mokee 4.4.x

Hi,
this is my first post on XDA forums, so I cannot post it to the relevant development thread. Hope someone from the developers finds it here...
I'm having trouble with GPS on my P760 phone (currently sporting Mokee 140712). Ever since I installed a KitKat based ROM, it won't find the GPS signal. Last time I know it worked was two weeks ago on CM 10.2.1, so I guess it's not a hardware problem. Then I started flashing various KitKats, starting with Mokee 140706 release, then SOKP, then again Mokee, the latest 140712 release. No luck with any of these. I did a lot of googling, tried flashing various GPS fixes (mainly edits of gps.conf), playing with FasterGPS (again editing gps.conf), nothing works.
My last ditch effort was letting GPS Status run for more than 20 minutes outdoors, under clear sky - nothing. At times it sees one or two satellites, but never more and never fixes.
Is there something I can do (besides buying a new phone, preferably no LG this time ?
Thanks for any help.
Michal
maybe if you flash the stock rom and update in stock to the last version, because your problem can be the baseband version... or the kernel version..
Hello,
I too have the same issue - GPS does not work with the latest Mokee 4.4.4. Tried with the latest stable version as well as now with the latest nightly. It worked fine with the stock ROM. Also, I am sure this is not an issue with the baseband as I am on V20o baseband which worked fine on stock ROM. Don't know if this is an issue with the kernel of Mokee 4.4.4. However, I am using the Mokee as it came, haven't changed or tinkered with the kernel.
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Anand.
