Hello,
I have a SG Ace with the CyanoGenMod 7.1 installed.
The GPS only gives the position sometimes. I have tried GMaps, Navigation, GPS test plus and GPS status and none of them work properly.
Actually, only Navigation has worked twice and when it does, the rest of apps work too (just for a limited time).
It takes ages to work and the problem is not finding the satellites since I detect (with GPS status and GPS test plus) 6 to 10 of them. It seems like it can't process the data and calculate the coordinates.
Any idea of what could be the problem? Have you heard of same problem in others SGA with CGM7? Any solution?
Thank you very much!
PD: I haven't tried the GPS with stock rom but since it has work twice with CGM7.1 and detects the satellites I think we can discard that the GPS is broken. It is more like bad configuration.
EDIT: when I download the A-GPS info I NEVER get a satellite. This maybe a symptom of something.
Did you see the GPS thread in the Android Dev section ?

Same here, tried the above but still no GPS.
Installed GPS Test and nothing showing - put the phone outside not testing in the house.
Worked OK on stock ROM

Now we have a problem. I have tried almost every trick and nothing worked. I can't believe we are the only people having this trouble, there must be someone else.
Does anyone know how the GPS works? What is the algorithm? We should be able to find where the problem is located.
My GPS can find the satellites (from 6 to 10) even inside of buildings (2-5) and have worked twice, only twice but it went okay. Usually, it doesn't give me the coordinates, as I said, this only happened twice.
I think the error could be related to the next step, once it has located the satellites, what does it have to do? Synchronise with the ntp servers?
Also we can try a personalized gps.conf config file because the others below haven't worked.
I hope someone understand the GPS process better than we do and can help us.
Thank you all.
I provided 2 sets of gps.conf and secgps.conf and both also didn't work for you?
My problem is similar.I can't get any satellites until I reboot.even after reboot, it doesn't lock even after having more than 10 satellites.I have to restart the GPS status a few times before it locks

Tried the second set of conf files and left my phone outside for about 20 mins and finally got a lock but only about 80 feet accurate.
Thanks for the tutorial.
Not sure if you have the latest modem/radio. Flashing the latest might help if that's the case.

Probably being a bit dim but is that an FM radio and what is/where do I get the latest versions of the modem?
EDIT
Flash a current modem file in ODIN I guess?
Finally getting very quick fix times (inside the house) by following instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713
I think using Assisted GPS was the key though.
With assisted GPS, it is expected to have much faster lock

I have tried almost every gps.conf in the forum and I haven't fixed the Ace yet.
However, I discovered two things:
1) If you reboot the phone with the "GPS Active" option ticked and reset the AGPS data (with GPS-Status) you always get locked.
2) When you get locked as I said in 1), it always refresh the coordinates once per 30 seconds (a normal GPS do it in once per second, checked with a stock galaxy s2).
The 30 seconds refreshing is very suspicious, like a wrong value in a configuration parameter. Any idea?
I think the problem is in the cyanogen, remember this is a ported mod from galaxy s to galaxy ace so it was not originally programmed for this phone.
Good information, I suspect it's due to cyanogen too. Can't wait for the official cyanogen. I hope it will fix the GPS issue. It's annoying sometimes....

After trying all the possibilities:
- Installing stock (gps-ok) and restoring my cm7 backup NOT WORKING*
- Installing stock and cm7 from new NOT WORKING
- Installing different stocks versions WORKING*
- Installing mods (gingerreal....) WORKING
- Trying almost every fix with cm7 (gps.conf, fasterfix-apps...) NOT WORKING
After all, the GPS HAS NOT WORKED EVER* with cyanogen mod 7.1 RC1 in galaxy ace.
So I just got back to stock, rooted and reinstalled apps, configs, etc.
I have something to say: if GPS doesn't work to anybody with CGM7.1, this MUST BE in the specification rom page because for many people (like me) the GPS related apps represent a high percentage of use. People should be warned about this issue in order to install or not the rom.
Thank you all, you have been very helpful, as always in this forum.
(*) normal working means <20s to lock, refreshing every second, even when you turn the gps off and on again...
I use GPS extensively too

my better battery app shows wifi running all the time. My battery is getting nuked. When I look at the android menu it says it is the screen sucking up the battery, even though the screen was only on for a short time. Anyone else having issues?
I wasn't having any issues with the 2.3.6 until right there at the end and then it started having the wifi draining issues. I was hoping the wifi issue would have been fixed in the ICS release. I tried doing a factory reset, which didn't help. I uninstalled the att hot spot finder app, didn't help. Is there a way to clear the wifi configs or reset the wifi?
I also notice it will disconnect from the wifi and can't see wifi networks even when hitting the scan button. I have to turn the wifi off and back on to get it to work.
Seems like the same issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24189461&highlight=wifi#post24189461
I guess there isn't a fix yet. That sucks.
Have that too. Temporary workaround: Settings -> Wifi -> Menu button -> Advanced -> Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep -> Never.
With that I have great battery life (got 28 hours once).
EDIT: My post is related to ported I9100 ROMs, never used i777 leak.
There is no official ICS - just a leak.

what he said ^^^
Pretty sure this is the same way it's always been that I remember, unless you goto advanced settings it will stay on with the screen off, it shouldn't really kill your battery though. I see minimal impact with my wifi on, I've even read it's better on battery due to less awake time on data polls. The exception to this is if you have an app that goes data crazy when it's on wifi, and keeps the phone awake. Then there was also the issue with the uckk6 firmware, but I don't think that issue is still going on with the ICS ROMs I've tried.
Edit: Was just reading and I guess ATT leak might still suffer from the goofy KK6 bug.
Will the UCPLC5 modem fix it? How do I install the newer modem leak with out making the counter go up?
Also, changing basebands will do NOTHING for wifi-related drain.
Baseband is for voice and cell data - it does NOTHING wifi-related whatsoever.

Hi,
I have found that my battery which currently is still the standard one drains very fast and my phone is getting very warm.
However I have noticed that once my battery hits 50% it cools down and does not deplete so quickly.
I do have a programme that is left running which is a VOIP / SIP client I use CSipSimple.
Is there something that I could try to get the phone to last longer on the battery?

1. Post your ROM details. Goto Settings - About, post everything, preferably a screenshot.
2. Post screenshot of your battery info
3. Download better battery stats (paid in playstore, free on XDA), and check what's causing the problem.
4. Download cpuspy, run it for some time and check your cpu usage
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Hi,
Ok I have attached a few screen shots as asked
I have downloaded CPU SPY and will leave this to gather some info and I have also downloaded BATTERY SPY and will do the same.
Do you have a link to better battery stats?
I have also noticed that when I leave my phone on when charging it gets very very hot and sometimes does not full charge after a 9 hr charging window.
However if I switch the phone off it stays cool and is fully charged.
First try to remove your external sd card and check if problem has been solved. Sometimes if there are corrupted media files or there is huge amount of such data, media scanner gone crazy and bootloops itself when trying to index them all.
You could use some kind of apps to disable media scanner (old Nitrality or something newer like Rescan Media ROOT) or remove your movies, music and pictures temporary from phone. After that wipe data of media storage and gallery from settings-applications menu and reboot your phone.
Of course do not overclock your phone. You could also try to set it in battery saving (eco) mode when charging. Disable all wireless communication (mobile data, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS) and turn Airplane mode on.
Sometimes phone is getting hot while playing games when WiFi or mobile data are enabled. This could be kernel related issue (if custom) or inproper to your baseband Radio Interface Layer (RIL) driver installed. You can fix it by installing Getril from playstore and downloading ril corresponding to actually used baseband.
Of course it could be also some crapware on your phone installed. Or configuration issues (scheduled tasks, etc.) I don't know what kind of apps you have got on your device and how you using them. If your problem persist than try to factory reset your phone to be sure that this is not some kind of app issue.

How do I find out which RIL I need and where can I download it from?
You can choose it in this app. Tap on the ril above 'Download & install Ril ' button and select one which match your baseband or leave this proposed by app and hit mentioned above button.

Thought you would say that I have tried that but it still tells me the RIL and Baseline do not match after I have installed it.
In this case you could try to flash LPA modem (for this one you have ril installed). Or flash any other modem you like and than change your ril.
Reboot after changing to be sure it's properly loaded.

Hello,
Posting here is my last resort, so I really would appreciate any help at all.
I have been running Rootbox 2.8, and then today I flashed Pier's 8/10 AOKP build which was supposed to rectify the RILJ wakelock issue. Have also tried both the default CM10 kernel and Dorimanx's latest MALI release.
However, my RILJ issue still remains unresolved.
I have tried the following:
1) Tried over 5 modems from the matching RIL + modem thread (by hawkerpaul is that his name?)
2) Tried to reboot the phone in airplane mode
3) Disabled latitude + google now
4) Toying with Fast Dormancy (my carrier, Starhub [Singapore] supports FD)
I'm really at a loss and it's draining my battery like mad (Am on a 2000mAh battery).
I'm running my rom at 200dpi.
Or could there be any apps causing this RILJ wakelock?
I'll post a BBS log when I can.
Until then, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

BBS Thread
I am on jellybam 20121010 version, XXLPQ modem, cm-jbmali-vsync kernel (came with the rom)-, this rom it's based on aokp build 4.
I have the RILJ problem and uninstalling Google Maps and disabling location services worked for me so far, try it out
Still having this issue till this day. Nothing has worked. Please help
Getting a correct RIL/modem pairing might help. Lots of threads on here/elsewhere about same. You know what to do.
GetRIL is an app on Google Play which allows to pair the correct RIL & modem. Check it out!
I remember in the good ol' days (a few months ago) the best way to fix RILJ wakelocks was to put airplane mode on, reboot, wait a few minutes, then take it off. Just play around toggling airplane mode. Don't know if that still works.
Thanks for the suggestions but like I've said, I've tried them all. Perhaps it's just my luck

Hello
First of all, sorry of any bad or wrong english, it's not my native language.
I have a very annoying wakelocks problem with my I9100T.
My carrier is Pelephone (Israel), I bought the device about a year and a half ago.
A few months after I got it, I decided to root and to flash a different rom.
I've had many roms since them, mostly stock-based, but I've tried a few AOKPs too.
The problem is basically this:
No matter what rom or what kernel or what modem I install, battery is terrible. With the help of BBS I was able to learn that the cause of this is excessive wakelocks, mostly RILJ, radio-interface, l2_hsic and umts-ipc0. This causes an extreme battery drain, 25%-35% drain in a 7-hour sleep night with wifi/3g/bt/gps/background apps all off and no body touching the device. It is extremely frustrating and makes the phone useless as of the everexisting fear of battery running out.
I've tried tens of different roms, Stock-based (Villain, Neat, Litening, WanamLite, Alliance and a few others I can't remember), AOKP-based (The only one I remember by name is ResurrectionRemix 2.6/2.6.1 and a few JB releases too) across different versions of android.
Tried them with the default kernel, with CF kernel, siyah, phenomenal, dorimanx.
Tried 10+ different modems including 3 extracted from my carrier's official roms (JJKF3, JJKI2 JJLP8).
All of them have the same exact issue.
Only time I remember not having this issue is with old GB roms. CheckROM V4/V6 did not have any battery problems, battery was perfect.
Also Litening rom V6.1 XXKH3, dates as back as aug 11'. Battery was badass there.
I've tried using the phone without restoring anything, tried freezing everything that I don't need, tried even freezing anything that is not necessary for the phone to run (eventually had a phone with no SMS/phone abilities, no play store, no syching, no properly working bluetooth/wifi connections) and still wakelocks occured.
When I first switched to ICS, I also had a 'MediaServer' wakelock, fixed by deleting 'corrupt' files from sd/external. The RILJ, radio-interface, l2_hsic and umts-ipc0 remained and I can't find a conclusive cause/solution.
Fast dormancy is not supported so I always turn it off via *#9900#, or that app for AOKP roms.
I remember a rom in which turning on/off airplane mode would help for a few hours. Then the wakelock returns. Haven't tried it recently, it doesn't quite solve the problem anyway so why bother with it.
I've noticed BBS showing "No or unknown signal" and "No data connection" at 100% time, which is weird.
Recently tried WanamLite/VK based on XXLSJ 4.1.2 leaked stock firmware, same problem.
Finally after some more research here in XDA I've tried to fix RIL/modem mismatch with GetRIL. I have flashed WanamLite 12.8, installed RIL via GetRIL so now it says "RIL/Baseband is matching". A quick look at BBS and battery history still shows RILJ, radio-interface, l2_hsic and umts-ipc0 wakelocks, so I wiped battery history and charged it to a full 100%, currently waiting for BBS to collect data to present here.
I can see that the problem is something about the radio/modem, but since I've tried many of them, I figured it's something that has to do with my device/carrier and not the modem itself. That's why I've tried Pelephone's modems, and recently Wanam's default modem (UHLPH) with matching RIL.
I wanted to try Pelephone's modem with matching RIL but GetRIL tries to install RIL for a different modem since it can't find one for pelephone's, and after a reboot it shows "unknown" baseband and no reception. This isn't important anyway because if it was a 'drainy' modem, it would have been much less drain and would have been better with other modems.
This is clearly something bigger and more persistant, something I'm missing as of my limited knowledge in android modems/system.
I would very much appreciate help with this in any way, ideas of what to try, info about related subjects, perhaps even a cause or a solution.
A friend of mine has the same phone with the same carrier with similar issues (yet a bit different), but the info I'm getting from him is limited and not conclusive. Based on it I can't say it's 100% environmental, nor can I say I'm the only one with the issue.
I'm ready to try anything - ROMs, kernels, modems, apps, tweaks etc.
I will be posting BBS screens and logs here once they'll be more accurate, for now I've attached a 10-min history and BBS screens.
Thank you for any help or assistance.
I have had the exact same issues as you Fast Dormancy, &RILJ on my AOKP Milestone 1 4.1JB. I used the toggle fast dormancy app to fix the first issue. For the RILJ i used the getRIL app, then disabled location services and auto sync for google. Fast dormancy is fixed now. I still get a lot of RILJ wakelocks but the numbers have gone down noticably. Battery performance have significantly improved though. These are the standard fixes i managed to find in the forums. Have you already tried these steps?

Recently tried WanamLite/VK based on XXLSJ 4.1.2 leaked stock firmware, same problem.
Finally after some more research here in XDA I've tried to fix RIL/modem mismatch with GetRIL. I have flashed WanamLite 12.8, installed RIL via GetRIL so now it says "RIL/Baseband is matching". A quick look at BBS and battery history still shows RILJ, radio-interface, l2_hsic and umts-ipc0 wakelocks, so I wiped battery history and charged it to a full 100%, currently waiting for BBS to collect data to present here.
I can see that the problem is something about the radio/modem, but since I've tried many of them, I figured it's something that has to do with my device/carrier and not the modem itself. That's why I've tried Pelephone's modems, and recently Wanam's default modem (UHLPH) with matching RIL.
I wanted to try Pelephone's modem with matching RIL but GetRIL tries to install RIL for a different modem since it can't find one for pelephone's, and after a reboot it shows "unknown" baseband and no reception. This isn't important anyway because if it was a 'drainy' modem, it would have been much less drain and would have been better with other modems.
This is clearly something bigger and more persistant, something I'm missing as of my limited knowledge in android modems/system.
I would very much appreciate help with this in any way, ideas of what to try, info about related subjects, perhaps even a cause or a solution.
A friend of mine has the same phone with the same carrier with similar issues (yet a bit different), but the info I'm getting from him is limited and not conclusive. Based on it I can't say it's 100% environmental, nor can I say I'm the only one with the issue.
I'm ready to try anything - ROMs, kernels, modems, apps, tweaks etc.
I will be posting BBS screens and logs here once they'll be more accurate, for now I've attached a 10-min history and BBS screens.
Thank you for any help or assistance.

I have had the exact same issues as you Fast Dormancy, &RILJ on my AOKP Milestone 1 4.1JB. I used the toggle fast dormancy app to fix the first issue. For the RILJ i used the getRIL app, then disabled location services and auto sync for google. Fast dormancy is fixed now. I still get a lot of RILJ wakelocks but the numbers have gone down noticably. Battery performance have significantly improved though. These are the standard fixes i managed to find in the forums. Have you already tried these steps?

Thx for the reply
Tried the fast dormancy app, used getRIL as I said, location services are off, sync is sometimes off sometimes on.
Here are the results.
*bump*
Any ideas? I went back to GB for now, battery in ICS/JB is just unbearable.
Instead of providing the screen shots which can only show details, you should attach the BBS log file. It contains much more information, probably even information you do not consider important for the analyzes of your problem

You did quite a lot but did you ever check your APN settings? Some of the wakelocks in your BBS log could be due to bad/wrong APN settings, so check them very carefully, especially the proxy settings (if any).
Sometimes (in my case) it is even better to create a new, "empty" APN. The only values set in my "empty" APN are: Name, APN, MCC, MNC, Authentication type and APN type. All other settings are not set.

Forgot to mention it in the original post. I always check my APNs since all roms have the wrong internet APN of my provider (It's been updated for smartphones, for some reason most roms still set the old one by default). Usually it also adds some more APNs of a different provider that uses the same network and the same cell towers, so I have to delete them and modify the existing. Internet always worked just fine with the APN I set. I don't really use MMS so I guess that doesn't matter.

CM9.1.0 stable version has a better battery and less l2_hsic wakelocks (wake count is about the same but count and expired count are both 0).
This is the only rom that has any difference in l2_hsic wakelocks except GB roms.
