I'm on SnowLeopard'sAT&T stock jellybean 20j and my GPS doesn't work. It actually hasn't worked for about a month prior while I was on SnowsJB v1.1. I've turned GPS in the settings and in the toggle but when I go to google maps and attempt to pinpoint my location I get the "Waiting for location" quickly followed by the "Your location is temporarily unavailable".
I've lived with the issue while I was on SnowJB 1.1 and figured it'd be resolved when I flashed a new ROM, but after flashing the stock ROM and its still not working, its got me concerned.
Anyone have any suggestions for what I can do to fix this?

I don't have a suggestion, but I'm a little surprised. I have been on SnowJB v1.1 for a couple months, and have never had an issue with GPS. It worked well, and locked position very quickly. I assume it worked for you when you were stock?
Yup everything was working find with stock. I should mention that I have flashed the new radio to no effect. I can also get gps through wifi.
I've even reset my GPS using GPS Status but its still not working.

Try turning on gps through settings instead of using toggles. Apparently if I use the toggles it doesn't "accept" the offer for blah blah blah.

If you are using twrp recovery try cwm, it worked for user dbgeek in SlickJB thread.
I was using CWM, tried 3 different roms, flashed mako radio, JB radio, and now LGNPST....and still the gps is not working. is my phone ****ed?
It was working fine up until today when I felt like trying a new ROM, I was on snowjb, with the new modem working fine. As soon as I flashed GPS no longer works. Not even the icon comes up, like the hardware is on but not doing anything
I'm on cwm. I'm thinking I LGNPST back to stock, update via the OTA and see if that fixes things.

Go back to stock!!
Ok got it working, here is what I did.
1. Downloaded ICS modem, flashed it cleared cache/factory reset/system
2. installed slick rom v2 (slick rom is the only one that has worked, tried a couple others with this method)
3. at this point, the gps icon was flashing but not locking, either way a good start. So I went into cwm, cleared cache, factory reset again and flashed the at&t jb modem
4. Reboot, viola it works.
I don't know why it'sd not working on nocturnal or snow's rom. Hope this helps.

After you get it working on Slickv2, you can restore your back up, hopefully you made one, then you re-flash the JB modem and you should be all set!!
Note: When I restored my back up, I advanced restored everything but cache. Don't know if this makes a difference or not.

So I flashed CM9 alpha 13(after wiping) but can't get service to activate on my phone. Same problem I'm having with alpha 9. I use the activate button when it starts and it tells me it failed. Under "About Phone" and "Status" I can see that the My Phone Number setting is wrong so is the MIN.
When I call my carrier to manually activate, the short codes they give me to manually input this info do not work.
Anybody else had this problem?

I had this problem as well. I've also bricked my phone flashing an electrify pudding by mistake on my photon. My fix after fixing my boot loader issues was: I reverted to completely stock. Then I called sprint and had to reactivate my phone. After getting everything working and having a secure connection for over a day I then flashed cm7 to make sure that would work. After it did I did a says wipe and wiped everything else. And flashed cm9 then went into recovery wiped and flashed again. Then I flashed gapps and boot up. After booting up I went back and wiped again. And then used the phone for about twenty minutes and wiped and flashed "all" again. It was a long drawn out process. But I have had none of the issues that people are having on the forum. Battery life is great after calibrating. 3G is almost as fast as the 4G I had. Never have a single reboot or battery pull. Wifi and Bluetooth bead on perfect. I'm new to xda but not development. I'd post my success in the forum, but I'm not yet at ten post.

I tried reverting to stock as outlined by qbking77 but every time I sbf'ed the file as instructed I lost my recovery. The 'Unlocked' notice disappeared as it was supposed to but once I did that I couldn't get any recoveries to stick, stock or CWM, until I "re-unlocked" the phone with that sbf. Even then I couldn't get the stock recovery to write properly.
I'm pretty new to all of this. I unlocked my Optimus S and tried a few ROMs on it before I settled on Reborn Rom, but that's about my only experience with these things. I'm not incompetent(I hope) when it comes to this stuff, but it's definitely a learning curve. I'd like to master the whole process though so I can delve into the dev side of things a bit.

A combination of what you and FanBoy suggested. First I wiped and flashed Rocko ROM. Got the phone to activate. Then I wiped. Flashed CM9. Wiped again. Booted up and verified service was active. Wiped again, Flashed CM9 again, wiped again, and flashed gapps v3.
I really don't know what the problem was to start. I originally tried to flash CM7 and couldn't get signal at all. So I flashed MIUI with the same issue. Finally I flashed CM9 and had signal but couldn't activate. So the problem wasn't tied to CM9, but I honestly have no idea what I did to lose signal/activation or to gain either of those back, but my phone does work now and I've successfully flashed both CM9 and Rocko without the loss of signal or service and have nand backups of both since my biggest problem originally stemmed from not having a nand backup of my latest working set up.

Most custom roms disallow communication from what ever it is that allows you to activate with sprint. I noticed that porting in sprintzone.apk often doesn't work and you can't activate with the dialer because it requires communication with sprintzone. So you need to flash to a rom that allows activation and then work your way back up. Glad to hear you got it working.
Before I was having an issue where my phone wasn't working, so i flashed it with cm9 0.3.1. then rebooted and flashed again. rebooted to see if i was getting signal and i was, but still no 3G data. So I booted up and flahsed 0.4.5. once then booted and didn't it again.
now my phone is working but my 3G data isn't connecting at all. I've gone into the "info" part and made sure i'm in CDMA auto prl as well. idk what the hell is wrong with this thing.

Hey guys,
I have the same problem. My phone and wifi work but as soon as I switch off wifi I cannot get data connectivity.
1. I haven't changed my provider. Used the phone before and it worked.
2. I use Siyah-Kernel 4.1.2
3. I use Dual-Boot (Primary is CM9 (stable)/Secondary is MIUI)
3a. When I installed Roms I made a factory reset/format data plus usual wipes
4. Modem installed is LPS (plus I used GetRIL to install right RIL)
5. I checked the APN and everything is as it should be
Any idea why I have this problem? And how do I fix it?
Best,

I am running a rooted TF201, and recently got NVFlash. I am on the latest Vicious ROM, and am a recent convert to TWRP. No matter the ROM that I flash, I get a "Turning WIFI On..." eternally, and when I go into settings the MAC Address is Unavailable. I have tried to flash CM10, EOS3, and CM9. All of them load clean, and I can tether off bluetooth, but I am unable to get a MAC Address to turn on the Wifi. I know this is not a hardware issue, as Wifi is working just fine on my Vicious nandroid. That is the only way I can use Wifi is on that specific backup. I have tried to wipe, and reload that ROM thinking my Prime just liked Vicious, but the Wifi was broken then as well. I have done a few Factory Resets, and wiped and flashed anything I can think of to try and fix it. Thank you very much in advance.

When you installed these roms, did you wipe cache, dalvik and factory reset? Most devs say to wipe all 3, if you did try androwook rom though its discontinued I have never had a wifi issue. Actually I am running eos 3 build 37 now and it works also. You didn't do any kernel switching did you?

I was able to get a clean fresh ROM to open and make a WIFI connection. After a full wipe, Virtuous Prime 9.4.2.28 v1 to load and work with no issues. I have a C2OK serial number, think that may be a reason I am having issues with other ROMs? Is it a way this particular ROM loads? I had tried other ICS ROMs, and I would have the same issue as JB ROMs, so I don't think it has anything to do with it. I got full function back, but am wondering why I can't load other ROMs.

Mine is a c1ok but i haven't seen anyone with a particular serial number have issues and I do read a lot of posts... full wipe should in theory get you where you want to go but you may have something else going on.. bad download, bad cable (this I have seen) the bad download sometimes ends in failure to flash at all.. had that tonight actually lol... re downloaded checksum.. all good now... I have had a few oddities going from one rom to another but a second flash sometimes clears it up.. never had issues with wifi unless there is something up with the kernel...
Come to think of it.... there were a few posts that said they required a double full wipe... it's an option if your willing to put in the time.. full wipe, adb push wipe file again... wipe then push rom.... if i was going to take that route, i'd push androwook rom I went from that to jb EOS and haven't had any issues....of course that means cache wipe, dalvik wipe and factory reset in between....
I tried what you said, I'm and using the wipe zip, I triple wiped, and then loaded Baked ROM 4.1 to see. Md5 check was done of course. I got wifi to turn on, but it will not find any networks. I have reset my modem/router, and restoring my old ROM wifi works and connects just fine. I am going to repeat the process with a different ROM to see if it may be that specific ROM.

I am confused too. I did the same, using the wipe zip, and between wipes I wiped dalvik. I wiped three times, just for good measure. I then flashed AndroWook Hairy Bean v1 and AndroWook Prime v2.6, not at the same time obviously. With each ROM, I was unable to see any wifi network on my TF. The wifi may turn on, may not, but it will not even show any network. I am at a complete loss. I am able to connect via a blue tooth connection to get Internet with both ROMs.

I updated to the latest nightly build (20130403) of Cyanogenmod 10 on my Amaze last night. Everything seemed to be working fine except WIFI would not turn on. Has anyone else experienced this? I was kind of bummed as I hoped some of the other minor kinks had been worked out, but with no WIFI the ROM is fairly worthless for me.
I am having the same problem. I just installed cyanogenmod 10 and the wifi will not work.
Maybe replace? Cause I'm running the same and my wifi is working no problem

Okay, I replaced it and now it works fine. Thanks.
What do you mean by replace?
I reinstalled and the problem persisted, so I backed up to the previous version.
Okay, so I went in the to recovery and re-flashed the update. I also wiped the cache and dalvik cache. When I restart the problem persists. I've done this twice now with no success.
Any thoughts?
So... I downloaded the update from the internet and deleted the one that was already on the phone. I installed the new build via TWRP and WIFI still won't turn on. It just hangs.
Kind of a bummer. Once I restore back to the previous build it works perfectly.
Anyone else know something I should try?

Looks like your kernel isn't flashing properly if you are s-on then use 4ext recovery with smart flash enabled you will have a higher chance of having a working ROM using that method. good luck

That worked! Wow, thanks so much! So... for others that are having this problem, here is what I did.
Rather than the free 4ext version, I went ahead and supported them with the $3 app download, totally worth it. I just downloaded it from the Play Store. It is so very easy to use because you can install straight from an app interface rather than in recovery.
After the install, I followed the simple instructions in the app and then installed the update zip I already had on the SD card. I made a backup before installing it, just in case...
4ext backed up the system then installed the update and the first thing I noticed was WIFI was WORKING! On top of that, the update seems a bit snappier and hopefully there is improved battery life too.
Pretty pumped!

I have a problem with my Wi-Fi. After a while it starts to go very slow. I have checked it with a speed test and its about 0.5 mbits. I first fixed the problem with a factory reset, but it came back after a day.
I have since found that a cache wipe, from the stock recovery menu, fixes the problem too, but it comes back again after about a day or even less.
I tried some cache wiping apps, but only the wipe from the recovery menu seems to do the trick.
I am on stock JB and I don't want to root out put a custom ROM on yet as my phone is still under warranty.
How can I find out what's causing the problem? It's getting rather annoying having to go to the recovery menu every day.
Thanks

That is strange? Maybe its an app you have installed or maybe a bug in the filmware. Head over to "samfilmware" and download the latest build for your version.
Dont think flashing official firmware from there will void your warranty as its official.

Tried flashing the latest stock ROM, same temporary fix like wiping the cache, but after a few hours, goes back to normal. This is with no other apps installed, other than the speedtest app, which I installed after I first identified the problem, so its not an app.
Another thing I noticed is that it went away after I disabled the 5Ghz wifi connection on my router, but it came back. The I tried manual wifi channel instead of auto, same thing. Problem went away, and then came back.
If I change the wifi channel the problem goes away, and then comes back after a few hours.
It seems like wifi settings must have something to do wit it, but I can find a combination which cures it completely.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is starting to drive me bonkers:crying:
Try hawkerpaul s GS2Nuke script, if it doesn't work try another wifi (other then the one at your home), if it works with another wifi then reset your router, if it doesn't work try making it without password.
