Problem restoring GPS functionality - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I'm on CM10.2 and was trying to restore my GOD when it wouldn't seem to connect, would the problem be because I'm using the Sense 5 ports and not the Sense 4 versions that aren't in beta?

I've seen some people asking whether or not GPS was working on CM 10.2. I'm currently running the 9/3 IRC build and haven't played with GPS much so I can't comment as to whether it's working or not. One thing to always do if you have GPS issues with a AOSP ROM is make a backup of your AOSP ROM and restore or flash a Sense 4 ROM. Turn GPS on and get a good lock, then restore your AOSP backup. You can also try downloading GPS Tools from the Play store and clearing AGPS while on Sense 4, in addition to getting a good GPS lock. If you still have issues you can report them in the CM thread or go to the #htc-evo-4g-lte IRC and inquire there about your issue.

Go to home > settings > wireless & networks > tethering & portable hotspot.
You have to flash gapps.zip to get the market and other Google goodies.

I'm using Barnacle WiFi Tether from the App Store. Works great once you get the settings correct. It bypasses the Carrier's HotSpot App by creating an Ad-hoc connection.
Where can i find gapps.zip?

Wifi

Is there a wifi fix it yet my daughter's lte still takes forever to connect to wifi

Have you tried updating Profile and PRL? Does she have the latest firmware/radios? Long press Wi-Fi in settings/menu/advanced/Wi-Fi frequency band choose 2.4 Ghz only
I've updated her phone with latest viper rom

There was a dedicated app for this sort of problem but I forgot the name already. The alternative sucks but to connect quickly you have to go into WiFi settings and tap menu/scan until it picks up. I noticed that I hardly need to anymore but when it just won't connect that's what works for me

Everything he mentioned is not the same as the ROM. Did you only update the ROM or did you update everything else that he mentioned?

WIFI connectivity issue
I have tried multiple roms and updated my PRL several times. Sometimes my phone will connect no problem for a couple of weeks then other times there will be authentication issues. The wireless router is Motorola. When my friends were here they had no problem having their phones use it. Any ideas or advice on how to fix this issue?

Get a navigation lock on the Verizon ROM. Then immediately boot into recovery and flash new ROM.

Let it sit then. Also try gps status from play. If it's showing that it should eventuality get a lock, then locks after the first will be much faster. Also, make sure you're outside trying to get the lock, much faster

I'll give it a try and let you know. I have tried the gps status before on a non Verizon rom trying to get a lock but it never did and it was outside. Might have to stick to Verizon ROM. I hope not tho

I had an issue other day where it wouldn't lock. Pretty sure it had the satellites in view and connected to several but wouldn't get a fix.
Turns out changed a roaming setting and it locked.. Think it was the network type CDMA lte etc..
Edit: it was "network mode"

When you lock that way it is not using gps satellites and you will find out that your not even close to your proper location

Viper dna 2.2 wifi and service issues

I just recently installed the newest 2.1 Viper dna and updated to 2.2 and it will not connect to my wifi. And it will also take up to a minute after booting up the phone for the phone service to connect and for 4G to work

Was it working fine on 2.0.1? I am having no issues on 2.0.2 updated from a clean flash of 2.0.1.

Alright I found the problem. It seemed the app I was using to backup my WiFi passwords was messing up my WiFi when I restored it. I simply reinstalled my Rom and didn't use the backup app

Slimbean GPS issues on EvoLTE

Anyone having issues with GPS not working on the Slimbean ROM for the EvoLTE? If so, has there been a fix for it? I've rebooted and cleared cache but still won't connect.

Have you tried flashing a sense rom and getting a gps connection there? You can also try clearing agps data while in the sense rom if it still doesn't work.
There are also some dialer codes for gps that will work in a sense ROM. You'll have to search around for those

I came from a Sense ROM with working GPS. And I recall that it did work at some point with this ROM. But it simply stopped working. Have tried three different days and still no dice. I was wondering if it was a ROM setting or is flashing a Sense ROM the only thing that would fix it.
