GPS not searching for satellite when mobile data is on - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everybody
I hope I can get some help from you guys.. I got this issue that I started to get into the running and started to need more of my gps to track my training and Ive noticed this weird behaviour of my gps.. It just wont even search for satellites whenever the 3g is on (you know the alert that says searching for gps).. installed the GPS checker to see if there was no satellites or something but it wont even search for them whenever I have the 3g on.. I found that the GPS works only if I disable the Mobile Data and restart my phone.. So I cant have both at the same time.. the minute I enable the 3g data it stops working and I have all the GPS options checked at the configuration and the wifi 3g assist.. What could be causing this?
Please let me know if some of you guys have some issue like this.. I have JellyBam 9.0.0 cyanogen mod based 10.1 and baseband XXXKI4

If you don't have this issue with a stock ROM, its probably a bug in the Jellybam ROM. Have you done a clean install? Since Jellybam has been banned from XDA, you probably won't get support for that ROM here. Maybe you should try contacting the dev of the ROM on their forum.

I tried the Omega stock V24 and had the exact same issue..

There's a number of GPS 'fixes' on here, I suggest you search for the threads containing those fixes & try some of them.

Hi!
I just want to share my workaround having same problem as this. After configuring my gps.conf as i've posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713&page=77, all went smoothly and fast GPS lock for just about 5 - 15 sec, even on a cloudy or rainy day. Then last Tuesday morning, as soon as the mobile data got connected it cuts the GPS. In short, GPS & mobile data won't run simultaneously. I ran a series of reboot, shutdown, clean up... then as much as i don't want to, i ended up reflashing/reinstalling everything but to no avail! Now, since everything is fresh w/ my S2, but still had same problem. I now zeroed in the problem to how my mobile data connects. I didn't think of this before because everything works perfectly fine. Anyway, this time i changed the Network mode from "WCDMA only" to "GSM only". Finally! it works! problem solved.
So far as of this writing, both the GPS & mobile data connection are working simulteously. Only drawback are: (1) I can't browse the net using the "GSM only" mode because of the bandwidth limitation, but works ok w/ Waze app. (2) If i switched & connected to mobile data using "WCDMA only" mode, i need to switch again to "GSM only" mode & restart the phone in order for the GPS to works again.
I don't know, but i'm thinking if our telco here has something to do why I had this problem. Maybe they change some configuration... I dunno.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. Searching forum and the internet without results.
Last week I spent a lot of time with my SGS2. The problem occurs when gps and mobile internet data are used at the same time, but only when the phone use 3G or H+ standard.
When mobile data are transmitted on E/2G there is no problem at all. The issue with gps is that when I drive car and I'm in one location at the city (every day at the same place) the gps icon disappeared and no navigation at all. This is quite big square around 2x2 km. After I leave the area I have to turn off and on the phone and everything works ok, even when mobile data 3G/H+ are transmitted.
So described problem occurs only at the specific area. I don't know what cause the issue. After next researching I discovered, that gps disapeared ONLY WHEN THE PHONE USES UMTS 2100 MHz. In the service menu I mark only UMTS 900 MHz and the gps works very good. This time mobile data 3G/H+ are used simultaneusly with gps and everything is ok.
So the problem is olny when we are connected to BTS at 2100 MHz and only at the specific area. It seems that some kind of 2100 MHz signal intereferences wiht gps circuit maybe. I'm not a proffesionalist, I only suppose that.
Maybe somebody will find the complete solution with that.
My problem is at the cetral of Poland. I tried a lot of firmwares, modem drivers, gps.conf modifications. Nothing. Zero results.

Hmmm... it seems our telco here has something to do w/ my concern. Today, simultaneously my S2's GPS & 3G/H+ are working perfectly fine. I didn't do any reconfiguration w/ my S2, i just tried to switch how my mobile data connects, from "GSM only" to "WCDMA only".

[Q] Unable to receive calls! <-- its a phone after all innit?

First of all i must apologize for not posting on development but im not allowed since this is a new account on xda...I live in London but im in mallorca spain for the summer looking for a job so having a phone is very important. As soon as i got my sgs2 i rooted it .. i was having some issues (random reboots) which led me to think it was either something wrong with the unstable kernel i was using or more likely a bye bye RAM. I decided to reset the phone and installed the LIGHTENING ROM... I Just love it!!! but... now im having trouble with it ... (BIG TIME) I had not realized something was wrong because everything seemed fine until i asked my gf to call me today... she couldnt... then i tried several times myself without success. I rebooted and to my surprise i started receiving a lot of work calls!!! (Which is great) but then i tried calling myself and it didnt work again. Im going back to stock firmware for now since the device is a phone after all. Dont know just yet if this will fix it but ill keep you guys posted... anyone having similar issues??
It might be a small bug in your firmware, try reflashing Stock and then see.. If still the same problem, try stock firmware from another source and reflash.. if still the same problem.. then its a issue.. Post your findings.. please
I have no issue like that.. just trying to help

check if your internet connection is set to wcdma/gsm auto mode...i am having similar problem when it is set to wcdma/gsm auto..it keeps loosing connection and radio switches off...making my phone unreachable most of the time.setting it to gsm only is the only way to cure this at the moment for me.

hi iznee;
I am from malaysia too.
currently I am using stock KE2 ROM. just rooted the phone for some xtra things that I want to do with it.
my phone is set to wcdma/gsm auto connection and never have outgoing/incoming call problem. Data also works as expected and by the way I am subcribed to Celcom unlimited Data plan.
by switching to GSM only, you are limiting the speed ability of the data to GPRS/EDGE only. please noted that you cannot have voice and data simultaneously while in GSM only mode. your Data session will be suspended if you make an outgoing call or if you receive an incoming call.
however, if you set it to WCDMA only, you can have both Data and voice simulataneously and that explain for 3G video call. but, not all areas are covered by 3G thus, if you entering an area without 3G, your phone is useless because there will be no signal.
if you set it to WCDMA/GSM auto, the phone will switch to GSM when there are no 3G signal available and that will ensure smooth phoneoperation in making/receiving call.
After a week of usage, I can confirm to you that I never have outgoing/incoMing call.problem and no data.problem.

Well so far my findings are null. i flashed kd2 stock with odin with the re-partition parameter on. Nothing happened. Was thinking re-partition would actually get rid of all the apps in case something there was giving problems... the phone was working fine when i was in england with kd1 stock... (How do i get rid of everything and start from scratch?? and what does the efs option do?? im tempted to use it xD) ... One other thing is i read somewhere that kd2 was giving trouble on orange uk (im ukthree but have tried with vodafone spain simcard) any ideas???
Efs is your IMEI code etc.
Backup as per post dev section .

iznee,
I have done a test regarding call in/out and also data connection. below are the test;
I am driving from KL to JB and crossing 5 states (KL, Selangor, N.Sembilan, Melaka and Johor). Along the 400km routes, I have taken the NorthSouth Highway, federal trunk road and also state road. My phone will change from H/3G to E/G when the signal is not available and I've no call drop whatsoever. I made calls while 3G/H signal is strong and also received calls. I did use the google maps.so that the data connection will be.continuous. In 3G/H mode, I can make/receive calls while the maps constantly refreshing based on my driving location.
when I enter the are without 3G, the phone automatically switched to GSM mode. albeit a bit slow.in data.connection, the maps still refresh without fail. when I make an outgoing call, the maps will stop refreshing as this is the behavior of GSM that voice call will take.charge and data will be suspended until I hangup the call then the data automatically resume its connection and the map refresh automatically showing my driving location. Then I use my other phone and call my SGS2 and as expected, the voice call going in and data suspended temporarily.
after hangup, data resume again and the map refresh automatically.
and when 3G signal is available, the phone automatically switch to 3G/H mode again and vice versa along the route.
all in all, I can say that my SGS2 works wonderfully and meets my expectation that phone function is priority. sattelite locks will take no.more than 10s and sometimes just under 2s. Superb performance by the phone.
Camera wise, no complain as I am.not a proffesional photographer. and I am more than happy for the camera performance.
Battery wise, no complain as I have unlimited data so i have all.my Facebook, twitter, push mail, livescore, news, weather etc ON 24hours. anyway, I have vehicle charger with me so the phone will be charged as long as I am driving.
this is from the about of the phone;

[Q] 3g not working until reboot

Hello everyone, i'm asking this because it's the third time i had this issue. I often keep my Data Network Mode deactivated and turn it on only when i need because of my 3g plan (quota, taxes, and also because it's likely to find a WiFi network in the places i usually go).
The problem is, sometimes i turn on 3g (by Phone options menu) and... nothing happens... i need to reboot to make it work again.
The 3G network in my country is quite unstable, but i'm pretty sure that isn't a signal problem because one of the times i was turning on/off the 3G to make it work and i gave up and forgot to turn it off, the next day when i tried again i found it was On but not connected. After a reboot, working again.
Anyone having this issue who found a fix? Could be a problem with the kernel or app?
Edit: I Forgot: CF-ROOT Kernel, KF3

mate i am afraid you have answer already - "The 3G network in my country is quite unstable"
that can clearly produce the bug. Just in the case check your APN settings if they are correct. Settings- wireless and network-mobile networks- access Poin Names - compare the stats there with your network provider and make deep research.
just example i am on vodafone - i found that i was running vodafone live profile in APN and i was loosing conexion and i had troubles loading some pages - after research i found that there is another setup for vodafone as well - different then the live but for vodafone as well. i am using it since then and i am experiencing now the lighting speed of 3g. Just give it a try.
Searching on the internet i found that the configuration of my APN is equal to the recommended.
Backup data and factory reset phone should clear any software problems .
You could try flashing KH3 modem .

Same issue here for both rooted and un-rooted GS2

Interesting information about GPS real problem

Hi everyone
I experienced a GPS problem since i update from build 3.0xxx
and i'm not alone, probably all Neo have this issue and i'm sure is a software bug
Here you can find interesting informations
http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/145641#145641
the gps signal usually drops every 5 minutes without reason
there is a log in the discussione and very accurate dates
this is my last reply and experience:
"Oh my god, is totally right
in flight mode no gps disconnection !!!!!!
today 20km in the city with these settings:
wifi off - gms only - connection data off (i don't have a sim plane), my cell is totally out of the net
first 10 km gps drops every 5 minutes
last 10 km, same settings but flight mode ON
no more signal drops !!!
i don't know if crying or laughing
but it is clear this is a BUG
Sony do something, we hope in you"
I thinks would be simple correct this bug, the problem is very precise
like the wifi one that drops
what do you think about?
Today 50km with Sygic gps navigation
flight mode ON
GREAT! signal perfect and very very precise
flight mode OFF
very bad, every 5:00.00 minutes the signal drops
this happen only with no Data Connection
most of you have data connection, so you don't observe the problem, but there is
agps must not work during navigation !!!
i'm unable to contact sony to solve this issue, xperia support center says me they don't speak with developers to cure this bug in the next release software
please help me, it is possible do something, some mods from your developers?
it is so bad navigate and can't receive call
really ? maybe u can upgrade the version to 4.0
Yes, without data connection, the gps drops every 5 minutes, not ecceptions
only in flight mode all is perfect
so i ask you, you are very expert and good developers
it is so difficult investigate this problem and found a solution?
I can't wait ICS, this is a big issue
I hope some developers from you can help me, found the problem and a simple solution, a command line, a script, something that allow the gps to work without data

I don't use data, but I've never experienced any problems with GPS.
Which kernel do you use? Maybe try the OC kernel by inteks?
My is a stock model, rooted, with last firmware 4.0.2.062
the kernel is stock
i don't know to think, in flight mode works well, with no data connection drops every 5 minutes, you says is perfect , my not
but it isn't an hardware issue, this is sure
some ideas?
I usually don't use gps that long, only for getting my position for a tweet e.g. But the times I tried it worked perfect.
How is the connection in Google Maps?
I use Google Nav for hours on end in the car and never have an issue. STOCK .42 or .62

google navigator works with data
so not is my problem, that only occurs with no data connection
i don't use google maps, but sygic gps navigation, and all the time the signal drops every 5.00 minutes not a second more or less
this precise time let me to think there is something wrong in the firmware
tha hardware is good, because in flight mode i can navigate for hours
p.s i tried a firmware repair, and this didn't happen with the firmware 3.0xxx.145
Sorry, didn't quite understand your OP then.

Hi,
I can confirm this bug too. I didn't notice it before ,but it's for a second only,so that is not critical for me.(I'm on official .42 ROM, no data connection)
Sent from my MT15a using XDA App
The common bug cause disconnections every 5 minutes for about 15-20s
I just discovered also Xperia Arc is affected from this
probably you can see only a second, but with different softwares the behavior is different.
Wich navigations software do you use?
It is clear is a bug, and this can appear in many forms, but with a common point, one disconnection every 5 minutes !!!
Bug not fixed with 0.62 firmware
But, there is not a developer that can solve it himself ?
If i wait sony ...
if you dont have a data plan, why not leave "data traffic" on at all time? it wont cost you anything, since you dont send/receive any data through mobile network.
i only used the gps once (about 40 minutes), with "data traffic" on, and i did not notice any signal drop.
i think this "data traffic" goes a bit deeper: when i first got the phone i switched "data traffic" to off (no data plan, anyway) and i tried to access the internet via wifi. wireless router connected, but nothing further worked until i turned "data traffic" on.

Turl CM9 data connectivity issues

Ok, first off I've searched many of the data connection issue threads out there but nothing seems to apply to my situation.
I'm having a problem where my data will disconnect whenever i receive/make a call and/or send/receive a text message. About 1-2min after the call has ended data will reconnect, if I toggle airplane mode data will reconnect a bit quicker.
I'm using a Bell Atrix, unlocked running Turl's CM9 from the below thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500535
I've had the phone for a year running the stock 2.2 then 2.3.4 then 2.3.6 and never had any problems until I unlocked the bootloader and installed CM9 a couple days ago.

You sure you're not in an EDGE/GPRS area? You can only have data during phone calls on 3G/HSPA+.
Edit: To verify this, go to Settings > About phone > Status and look at what it says for Mobile Network Type.

System settings/about phone/status/Mobile network type is :"HSPA:11"
I'm in a HSPA+ area, same location I've been using the phone since I bought it a year ago which is in the city core
ok, after a bit more trial and error I haven't been able to solve the problem but I have been able to narrow it down. As it turns out when GPS activates my connection will disconnect for the 1-2min as per above.
My workaround was just to disable GPS for the time being, but this isn't exactly a solution, if anyone has any advise it would be very much appreciated.

Remove multiple APNs. This happened with my old Desire Z. Whenever the GPS is on, data disconnects. Deleting unused APNs fixed this.
hmm, I've never deleted an APN before, if I do this will the network automatically reselect ones for me?
Don't delete everything, just delete what's not needed. The APN that's in use has a selected radiobutton at the right side. Leave that and the MMS one alone, delete the others.
I just deleted one of my two apns, then tested internet and a voice call which both still work, I turned GPS on and opened maps, I get the gps icon on the notification bar but it isn't blinking(also my network connection reset again), then I tried GPS test and again the gps icon at the top isn't blinking like it used to(it has the icon but it's hollow, i.e. no dot on the inside of it blinking) though my network connection didnt' reset this time at least.
I'm about ready to just chalk this up to CM9 on the Atrix just not working right because its unofficial and lacking proper drivers.
GPS icon in status bar does not blink when searching in ICS. You get a blank crosshair when it's searching for a signal, and a filled crosshair once it gets a lock.

ok so I tried turning gps on and running gps test, I let it go for 20min and it didn't pick up a single satellite(this is outside)
Try clearing agps data.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the advise, I downloaded "GPS Status & Toolbox" from the market and used it to clear my A-GPS data, this seems to have solved the problem of my network disconnecting, however I'm still unable to get any satellites to show up in GPS test(yes GPS is turned on).
Any thoughts?

Loosing Data connection

Hi All.
Provider: "3" Austria
ROM: Omega V32 & Android Revolution HD 9.0.0 (or earlier)
When the Phone is lost the Network connection (elevator, no coverage,...), it reconnects, everything seems to be fine, it shows also 3G or H+ data connection, but that's not true, what's displayed on screen, phone calls are possible, but there is no data connection available.
Restarting the phone and everything is fine. Switching off( on FlightMode or data won't help.
Now I installed just for testing CM10 nighly and it work's fine, no problems!! BTW, it worked also fine with Omega ICS Versions!
I like Omega or Revolution muc more then CM10, cause I like TouchWiz. Do you have any ideas, how to fix this? Maybe a different kernel?
THANKS for your help

Hi All.
Provider: "3" Austria
ROM: Omega V32 & Android Revolution HD 9.0.0 (or earlier)
When the Phone is lost the Network connection (elevator, no coverage,...), it reconnects, everything seems to be fine, it shows also 3G or H+ data connection, but that's not true, what's displayed on screen, phone calls are possible, but there is no data connection available.
Restarting the phone and everything is fine. Switching off( on FlightMode or data won't help.
Now I installed just for testing CM10 nighly and it work's fine, no problems!! BTW, it worked also fine with Omega ICS Versions!

u could try a different modem
Thanks für the hint... it's hard to find a summary of relating Modem's or Kernels to trie.
I did a full wipe now and installed everything from scratch, also using the latest Omega V26 Rom. It's a bit better now. The difference is, if it's loosing 3G, connecting to GSM it hardly reconnects to 3G, and if it's done, no most of the time HSDPA is not shown. It's not really reproducable, cause it depends on the location. Switch off / on data solves the problem.
I read somewhere here, that I'm not the only one with problems related the Austrian Provider "3". Anyone else here?
Maybe someone here has a list of Kernels and Modems to use or a link, where to find. I used Search but toooo many results for me to find the correct on.
Thanks
