[Q] Xperia U GPS fix problem, need help! - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello!
My wife's XU GPS doesnt practically work.
GPS gets zero fixes! Gps status and toolbox shows usually 0/0 (fix/sats), sometimes 0/10(variable).
Using latest SlimCM linaro ROM.
Location Europe/Estonia
I have tried to edit gps.conf file acording to this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713
No results!
Few months ago GPS worked fine. Probably used another ROM then.
My Xperia S gets with that same gps.conf file instant fix with satelites :silly:
I dont know what to do next... maybe somebody know ?
Oh, and sorry for my bad English! )))
Thanks!

Try flashing stock firmware and see problem still arises..
It may with rom...
Or sum5hing might be wring flashish may fix it..

Porting MIUI to a CM7 Base ROM.

The reason i would like to port MIUI to a CM7 base is simple,
1. MIUI is based on CM7 for every official device.
2. I think it could be a possible solution to the data disconnect issues.
Me and Luka have tried numerous times to port to around 3 different CM7 roms and ran into issues. We have got as far as the boot animation...it does not loop it only gets stuck.
We have followed Spaarcs guide and also the thread at modaco by rdannar with no luck at all even cross referencing to make sure we get all files mentioned.
One the stuck boot logo i run ddms and the output has something which i believe is the reason it gets stuck...
Code:
E/SocketListener( 1314): Obtaining file descriptor socket 'dnsproxyd' failed: No such file or directory
E/Netd ( 1314): Unable to start DnsProxyListener (No such file or directory)
I have googled this error of course and only came across some obscure Honeycomb SDK port with this problem that didn't seem to get a solution...
This thread is really just for anyones input or help. Please try to stick to the point of the thread...
I think you would need an official cm as the base which doesn't exist for x10 yet unfortunately.

hey dude, you always forget a letter in my name

Yeah sorry ha ha. I have come across something so I will report back if I have any luck!

hehe, hi
just for fun, i used FXP028 as base and nexus1 miui 1.9.23, i followed spaarcs guide.
hmm
system boots up
-cant enter sim pin (didnt ask, so no data, maybe crash system server will help)
-system so slow, lol
That seems like a start but why does it ask for sim pin?

Can you upload your rom to medifire to test ?
Ok, update. Ported to FXP28 and got the same error. I have a theory it is something in the kernel. Flash FXP kernel and the rom boots. However as said above by Zocker Tko it is stupidly slow and i have no signal at all.
Tried to crash system server and the dev app just force closes...so no signal for now. Also wifi doesn't work for now but may be a slight oversight by myself.
Change cpu governor to on demand and upped the minimum speed just a little to 384000 and the rom is usable! I just need to fix ril
Camera force closes too... *sigh*
i was able to do a "almost" full port
i´m in discussion to solve my "almost"...can get any gsm service
that´s the only thing for now that´s missing. unfortunately i´ve decided to do this in a very bad time for me professionally due lack of time to play

Do you not find the rom runs slow and screen off animation very slow and buggy? Or have you solved that?

not the smoothest that i´ve made/try but ... something like SE stock rom. but really didn´t look at that since i was trying to figure witch files i´ve missed for gsm.
if you had some time try this tip given to me from PM since i can play again in a month or something
"Maybe try replace the following files with FXP
- libhardware_legacy.so
- libnetutils.so"
from cobrato

Still nothing. After first reboot "gps test" from Android Market found more than 8 sats and connected to them. But my position not located. I put phone at open space for 30 minutes and nothing. And after second reboot gps doesn't work, again. Even find sats. I have no idea how to fix this. Maybe I must migrate to other rom?

[Q] munjeni's ics for aria july 9 gps problem

last i install munjeni's ics for aria,
use very well,but now i found the gps
is always located in china sichuan province ,
i tried many twice ,but still same .Can someone tell me the solution ,
i need your help serious !
Idk, mine usually starts up showing me in Nevada for some reason. Maybe try different gps libs. I know that's worked in the past for other people.

Yes, I also have this problem, but I assumed that this problem has arisen because of the baseband upgrade. Which version of the baseband do you have?

Yes, with the radio module is ok. Today's WinSuk's build also has a problem with GPS
Same problem.. Radio 7.13.35.13.
On Froyo GPS works well. after flashing ics - shows that i in another city
SOLVED!
I solved this problem for me.
clear your /system/etc.conf (backup it before change), and paste this:
_pastebin.com/46q2CuEz
its russia ntp server, so get your country-address at pool.ntp.org/zone/@
Reboot, go into "GPS Status" application, clear your A-GPS data and download it. Thats all, solved.

Here too, but with Radio version 7.16.35.11. It shows I've locked onto GPS (with 0 satellites - ! ) but that I'm always at 38N 117W - somewhere in Nevada. I'm not. I'm near Houston, TX, roughly 25N 95W.
I've tested out clearing the agps data and letting it reload it. I've loaded several GPS apps (GPS Test, Angry GPS, GPS Status& Toolbox, GPS Essentials) in order to try to help get this right, but it doesn't seem to ever see a single satellite.
That is, until I installed the gps.conf that is posted in Munjeni's CM9 thread. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25746235&highlight=gps#post25746235
I had to remount /system r/w and (I know other stuff would work, but I used this) the Root Browser built into ROM Toolbox Lite. renamed the existing gps.conf, pasted in munjeni's gps.conf, and I can now see birds. I didn't have time to let it lock (I just walked over to the window at work to test it), but it found one, so I'm sure it will find more. That's one more than it ever found after I landed the ICS ROM on the Aria.
I also ran FasterFix against it. All it does is point to a geographically closer NTP server, so I'd call that step optional.

gps.conf does exist, but the contents were not the same. There was much more in the gps.conf that was substituted in, as opposed to what was in my /etc directory.

well, I just went and looked at it again, and it appears FasterFix abbreviated the file for me. I will have to test this out tonight on my way home from work.

ok, I just saw your post with the link to pastebin. That's what my gps.conf looks like after FasterFix toys with it, except that mine now says north-america.ntp.pool.org . So it should work out just fine.

Stop, that's what I was saying, that in gps.conf Pastebin it works fine.
with gps.conf, that ics by munjeny (July 9) (like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25746235&highlight=gps # post25746235) - does not work
well, or my English was so bad that I'm all confused and said everything is completely contrary

the right method is yTko's or by 78c10?

Issue in CM9..

hey i dont know why its only my phone but the sim network goes off frequently in CM9.....
i googled the problem as well as searched forums but it seems others dont get this problem...
please help me.
i have tried installing many cm9 releases right from fxp 132 to the latest official nightly version..
sometimes i get network on the first boot but when i reboot ..the network is always off...
PEACE
Same here, airplane mode on/off doesn't solve it either
What to do..i just cant understand...
it seems very very very few people have this problem...
i searched many forums and threads ..but to no use...
PLEASE TELL AS SOON AS YOU GET A VALID SOLUTION TO THIS..all
PEACE
I guess that this is for the Xperia S?
It is a common problem for all the phones with the wl12xx WIFI driver.
Please try the following and let me know if it is working.
1. disable WIFI.
2. open your favourite file explorer with root access (for example ES File Explorer).
3. delete /data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-wlan0.lease and /data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-wlan0.pid
4. enable WIFI.
will this give me proper signal from my service provider...i have a rooted gsm xperia s...
wifi is properly working in cm9

Well, if you are trying to say that you cannot change your brightness on custom ROMS and can change it on Stock ROM, then, it may be a bug on the custom ROMS. Almost all custom ROMS are made on the same base ROM which developers modify according to their needs and needs of the people. So maybe that's a permanent bug and will take some time to get fixed. No worry, you can always use the stock ROM. It's not so bad.

Is randomly, sometimes I tried again roms already downloaded, and happens without installing apps (fresh installation). Its rare, but is not a important thing for me, I only asks if happens to someone else. I don't know if is the UI or is the rom, the same UI works fine in stock, flashed at CWM (custom kernel in stock). Btw, any ideas?
Don't know what is exactly causing this bug.
I would advise you to do a complete fresh reinstall of the whole ROM

Since you say that it appears randomly. Maybe the censor was not working. Then it is a hardware issue.

In stock with an other UI. Also I tried a UI for CWM in stock and no problem , but I love the things of an custom rom. I can change brightness in Configuration, also attach a screenshot ,
EDIT: I can change brightness in the slider controller with this bug, also shows the current brightness (is hard to see), so is not hardware issue, is only visual
