I recently installed CM mdm5. Everything seems to be working fine except the location service. Depending on what cell tower I am attached to, my phone thinks I am in Phoenix, AZ. I live in Portland, OR. When the phone thinks it is in Phoenix, there is nothing I can to do make it zero in on the proper location, such and toggling the GPS or WIFI. When I get to work (we have internal Verizon repeaters in out building) it works fine.
I have COMPLETELY wiped the phone and SD cards in hope of a cure with no luck. I made sure I was using the appropriate boot.img as well.
Anyone have any ideas?
A funny side note: I traveled out of town this last weekend, and the location showed me an equal distance outside of Phoenix... I had to laugh at that one.

That was so long ago I cant remember. I have been running your roms ever since they have been available with no location issues until now. It happened when I went from mdm3 to mdm5.

GAAA!! It is still not working. I think using the WIFI at home helps a bit, but not all apps.
I actually have the same or a very similar problem with mdm5 and, IIRC, mdm4. It seems that, sometimes, until GPS fix is acquired, it reports a bogus location. After GPS is locked, it generally works fine. Not typically a big problem, though it's annoying with some things like weather apps where it may be hard to tell it to refresh your location (so I'll occasionally get reports of pleasant temperatures despite the fact that it's summertime in Houston, i.e. never pleasant).
Man this reminds me of when I had an incredible 2 stock firmware and it also reported Phoenix, AZ no matter what I did. I live in NJ. Never could get it fixed.

I've used a few Jelly Bean ROMs since switching to Straight Talk last night on my unlocked Note. Everything works fine on Straight Talk except GPS. Just can't seem to get a signal no matter what I do.
Are there any non-stock ROM's (preferably JB) that GPS works 100%?
Thanks!
I have tried almost all the roms...And use gps daily...The worst I seen is its lock time connecting...but it eventually works..also a gps fix I seen somewhere.Plus a Gps app that helps fix connection gime to satellites
But the best fix is to change out you cong files to a better region...
And you can also save google maps for OFFLINE so you can use it????
Just save the files..and open it up when needed!
CM10 nightlies lock on pretty quickly and repeatedly. May want to give them a try.

The above app has a feature that will reset the aGPS data and download new data as well. Works extremely well when traveling overseas or in a new area.
Trying CM10 now (latest build)...gotta get this GPS working...other than this the Note and Straight Talk has been awesome!

I have no problems with GPS, been using Dagr8's ROMs for a while, King Kang, currently using the AOKP JB B5.
I found this for saving offline maps..hope this helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412755
Well I installed Cryagen Nightly CM10 (version released today) and still no GPS...tried King Kang and AOKP with the same results...even been outside fir a while with still nothing.
Download the app for the play store in my first post. It will give you an option to download a-GPS data. Once the note has that lock on is about 5 seconds.
Tried this and still doesn't work. I'll be calling Straight Talk tomorrow if no one has any more suggestions!

why not connect to wifi so its faster at home or what not..Then just save the maps for offline use? ..for now anyways till you find a more stable connection..least it will help if you need to get somewhere..the maps you can save are huge...
I am on straight talk as well for about two weeks. I needed navigation and realized i couldn't get it to work. I have tried a few different thing as well. No dice. I would be interested in how your conversation goes with ST. Please give a update.

TO Kinz1980:
Have you actually tried to go out and about with the GPS or are you just sitting inside trying to get it to work? Also, have you tried different ROM's and what not? Read below to see my (possible) fix and current experiences.
Well, while on the phone with Straight Talk to see what the issue COULD be I was standing outside with them on the phone and all of a sudden my GPS started working. Maybe I wasn't thorough enough in my own testing (actually walked out to the street today...previously I was just on my porch)?
I tested it a few times with closing the app, restarting it...locks on to my position damn quick and is very accurate...to a degree (see below). Also my phone died this morning so maybe the battery hitting 0 then recharging or something did it, I don't know for sure.
All I know is that its working (using CM10 nightly build) with Google Navigator for the most part. I will use it later today IRL when I've got to go to a friends house then update once I know its actually WORKING turn-by-turn.
I know when I was outside today it was a tad slow in updating my position (walked about 100ft up the street a few times and it was very slow to notice the change in location/direction or didn't change at all on some occasions) and a couple times the GPS signal would drop for a few seconds, etc. So like I said, I'm going to do more thorough testing here in a bit and update with my final results.
All I do know is that it is at least WORKING...may not be super good at this point, but I am getting a lock. Its a start!
I was driving when it was not working. When i am at home it uses wifi. i am using the blackstar Rom right now. I like cm roms but i like yo use the s-pen. I guess i could flash a different Rom and see if this makes a difference. I don't use gps on a daily basis but when i use it i need it to work. I will be watching this thread closely.

I was having the same issue, and slowly realized that the jb gapps was the issue for me. If I used the July gapps for JB it would get a signal and work, but if I used an updated version of gapps, it would not work. Might try installing the July JB gapps and see what happens. It only took me four days to finally figure out what was wrong, becuase it was working before the update to a newer gapps.
This is after 20 min moving around inside and outside.

So do you just have to NOT update them gapps then? I understand what you are saying...but Google Maps isn't even part of the gapps package. So what is updating in the gapps that breaks functionality?
I have successfully unlocked and rooted my TP with TWRP for the first time. I flashed Androwook 1.4 and I have some 'newbie' questions...
1. My gps has always worked fine until now. I have checked all three boxes in the location services folder. What am I missing? I have been one of the lucky ones who has had no wi-fi or gps issues... until now.
2. Before I rooted I found a program that would help Youtube/videos load better but now I can't find it. (I have been searching threads for days now) Any suggestions to speed up Youtube?
3. What are some good root apps that will help the performance of my TP. I flashed the 1.8ghz version of Androwook and this is already a HUGE improvement over stock, now I'm power drunk... need more!
Long time lurker, I have used XDA to root my Infuse and now my TP. Huge thanks to all the devs for making my toys better than the manufacturers can.

I checked everything in the pimp my rom app. After that wifi wasn't working so I unchecked all of the wifi fixes. I'm not sure what fixed it but it works now. This is the first rom I've flashed so I'm not sure if it works with other roms.
I'm still having issues with flash in Web pages. That was the main reason I got and android and not an iPad. I can't believe they just dropped it like that and I'm surprised there is not more of an uproar about it. I tried the flash 1.1 apk and it worked for a minute then the TP rebooted itself and now I'm back to the "need current flash to play this video". PITA.

1.5 will be out soon with flash built in and working properly. That should fix that issue.
So I just wanted to share something really weird and ask if anyone has ever seen anything like it before.
I recently flashed the last AOKP update, and my phone was running phenomenally. I went out last night and my battery died because I forgot to charge it... No biggie. Got home, turned it on, no signal. Odd, since I have pretty decent service in the area. After doing the usual troubleshooting of cycling airplane mode, I tried pulling the battery and sim. That also didn't work. I went into settings to check my APNs, and instead of the usual menu, I saw only 4 options. The option to select APNs wasn't even there. The last one said "Set CDMA..." something. I forget the rest. Wish I had remembered to take a screenshot. In "About Phone", my baseband was blank. Tried reflashing back to LC5 radio. Still nothing. Did a full wipe and reflash of the ROM, and that got me back in business. Right now, all is well. I was just unaware that a phone could magically switch over to CDMA, even if there is no CDMA radio in an i777.
Any thoughts on the cause?
EDIT:
ROM: Task's AOKP 4.14
Kernel: Stock
Radio: UCLL6 when issue started. Now on UCPLC5
Not an issue that's related to the rom, as far as I know. Unless others have reported this issue and I've missed it. If you do a full wipe and re flash as you've done and don't install any programs for a good 24 to 48 hours, and nothing of the sort happens again, odds are it has something to do with an app you installed. Unless your service provider maybe was experiencing problems at the time.

No, definitely an anomaly. Not something that anyone else has reported. I called AT&T to verify if there were any issues in the area or with my account, and everything checked out. I haven't downloaded a new application in months. I restored from TiBu right after reflashing and everything is still good. Like I said, not trying to report it or anything; just looking for thoughts.
You meant APN and baseband NEVER come to live? If that's the case, then I haven't heard or read any report about it.
If it's up and running like normal AFTER 5 minutes, then it's has been reported many many times last week.

This is what I thought. I have a feeling that since AOKP is based of CM, there is code built in to support both CDMA and GSM. Somehow, the software glitched, and made the switch.

I had CodeFire on my DNA for about a month. All was running well. I just installed whatever was current around 2/23 and never installed a nightly update. Last week, I started having problems texting. I thought the ROM was going belly up on me. So I flashed SlimKat. I still cannot text without cycling Airplane Mode in between each. Alternatively, I can wait about an hour to sent a subsequent test message after a successful one.
I just re-flashed the latest radio hoping that would fix it. I'm at a loss. Do I need to call VZW and have them do something on their end?

The kit kat roms are ported. There are several issues with them that cannot be "fixed" until the source code is released. If the phone does not respond to any commands including trying to boot.... leave it on a factory charger for 24 hours. Then try to work with it

What do you mean by "phone is dead"? Completely non responsive or no signal. I've been on cfx since I ported it over with no issues besides the random signal drop here and there. But that's maybe a few times per week and happens to me on all ROMs. What do you wipe when flashing a new ROM? Have you tried a RUU?

What do you mean by "phone is dead"? Completely non responsive or no signal. I've been on cfx since I ported it over with no issues besides the random signal drop here and there. But that's maybe a few times per week and happens to me on all ROMs. What do you wipe when flashing a new ROM? Have you tried a RUU?

Dead as in Roaming again. My apologies for the exaggeration. I'm a bit frustrated here. I cannot seem to win with this thing. I hated my Thunderbolt at the end, but at least it worked. RUU brings back mobile data and texting. I've tried CM 10.2 several times. Each time, it gets stuck in roaming. I cannot change the NV setting. Changing it, then checking it again and it's right back. I've tried flashing with the SIM in. With it out. I've cycled Airplane mode a few times. Rebooted. Installed GApps. Rebooted. Cycled Airplane mode. I'm missing something. Apparently.
I just want a phone without Sense or the Verizon crap. CFX was awesome until this texting issue.

EDIT: Just installed the latest CFX and AGAIN I have the god blessed SMS issue. I can't sent sequential texts. I have to turn on Airplane mode after each one before sending the next.

omfg. I just installed a stock Odexed, Rooted 3.06.605.4. SMS works but now I'm stuck in 3G. Is there a ROM out there that works so I can use my phone for work and play or should I Just suck it up and put it back to a full stock OTA ROM?

Have you considered hardware issues? If it was a ROM issue it wouldn't be a one person issue. Or provide a log of what's happening when you send SMS. You're just not giving us much to go by, except what's not working. Are you doing full wipes between flashing roms, or just cache or factory resets?

Full Wipes between flashes.
I've had this phone for about two months. I initially had issues flashing CM and being stuck in roaming. No CM ROM I attempt to flash will work. They always end up stuck in roaming. I think the problem is that I can't switch from NV. When I change it, it always goes right back. Not sure what's up there.
I just flashed ★ ☆ [ROM/RADIO][4.2.2] Stock 3.06.605.4 | Rooted | Odex-Deodex | Sense5 And now SMS works, but I'm stuck in 3G.
I hadn't considered hardware only because with each ROM, the previously broken feature works, but then something new pops up.
With one, I can text, but am in 3G. With another, I've got 4G but can't text without cycling Airplane mode.
I sincerely apologies for coming off as a d!ck. I've nothing to contribute to the community but my bug reports and money. It's frustrating to see how quickly some phones are abandoned, though.
I've always been thankful for everyone's help and tried to offer bug reports and donations where applicable.
I just want my phone to work, with a plain vanilla OS and tethering. I don't need Sense. I don't need fancy mods. Just a phone that works.
Please accept my apology, and thanks again for the help.

Have you considered the fact that the recovery itself is causing your issues? I would give TWRP a try to see if there are differences. TWRP is a must to flash KitKat roms and the version used is critical.

Nope. I didn't consider that. Because most of my problems were with CM 10.2.1. Which is JB, correct?
That being said, I've tried both CW and TWRP to no avail. After being stuck in 3G for two days across multiple ROMs, I'm convinced the hardware went belly-up.
New SIM?
HTC DNA
LG Optimus G

Santod has a process to recover the unit from the conditions you describe. It is fairly simple and doesn't appear to require much time.
I don't have time to search for it at the moment.

I did lots of searching before asking. I try to do my due diligence before bothering you all.
The replacement phone did not resolve the problem. The replacement SIM did.
Now on to bigger and better things. Thanks for putting up with me.
And now I can't text without cycling Airplane mode again.

Are you certain it was Santod? He's only got 19 posts on this board and I don't see anything directly related to the SMS problem I'm having.

Since my last update, I've received a new DNA, and a new SIM card.
Check out the last few posts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51465109
This is bizarre. Either I'm doing something wrong, or... I don't know. SMS works on a stock ROM but not on a custom ROM, with a new phone, with a new SIM.
I think you are doing something wrong.
RUU the latest firmware, factory reset, wipe data, cache, and system, install a ROM and DO NOT restore anything.
I think youre not completely wiping and/or are restoring things.
