[Q] Galaxy SII / I9100G - GPS lock issue - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Experts
I have i9100g with neatrom. I also wants to use custom rom because stock rom is very heavy and has lots of default service/process running
which makes device sluggis.
My problem is my GPS doesnt lock on custom AOSP roms. I have tried many version on CM from 9 to latest 11, Slim roms, MIUI, PA etc. GPS doesnt work
on any of them. The only custom rom on which my GPS works is OMNI ROM but problem is on OMNI rom also GPS takes very long time 5-10 minutes to lock
and many times doesnt lock at all.
using stock rom or neat rom GPS works like charm and lock time is around 10 sec without fail.
I heard some of the nightly builds of CM has this problem fixed but i couldnt find any. I have tried flashing a lots of roms.
Can somebody please let me know which version has this fix or is there any way to fix this issue?
I have tried all faster GPS kind of app on play store but didnt help. changing NTP server also didnt work.
I have read all the post related to this issue but coudn't find the solution.
PLEASE SOMEBODY HEAP....THIS GPS PROBLEM IS KILLING ME....NO MONEY FOR NEW PHONE
Thanks

[Q] No Wifi at all on ICS and JB Roms

I've been trying to fix this for weeks, but I just can't find a working solution so I am asking you guys for help!
My WiFi works fine if im running a Gingerbread Rom, I currently have WIUI (the GB Version) flashed and the Wifi works fine. It won't work on any ICS and JB Roms however. I've tried MIUI, CM9, Resurrection (Both the ICS and JB Versions), F1 Galaxy Nexus, Lite'ning Rom, Paranoid Android and more, all I get is "Authentication Error". I tried to restart it several times, change the Network Security, the Radio Channel (I dont know it thats the proper translation, excuse my english), and installed various Apps (WiFix and such), Kernels, Modems etc but none of them seem to help.
I'm so frustrated with my Galaxy S2, so I'd be really grateful if someone could help me out!
You tried many ROMs, but WiFi is controlled by kernel :silly:
So, try other kernels.

GPS fix issues

Is anyone else having issues lately with their GPS lately? I'm having times where it takes >3 minutes to get a fix, whereas I used to get a fix in <15 seconds. And even when I get a fix, it's not very strong. I've tried the modification for the gps.conf file, but that hasn't helped.
This seems to be a problem that crops up occasionally on the I777. It also seems to be independent of firmware. Usually rebooting the phone will clear the problem, at least temporarily.
So, a couple of questions.
First, if you can, go back to the original gps.config.
If you reboot, can you get a quick lock immediately afterwards?
What firmware are you running? Stock un-rooted, stock rooted, or custom rom?

my SII has suddenly stopped taking a GPS fix and it has happned overnight.
can someone help me please...
using Cygna....
Any replies/leads on fixing the GPS issue?
So basically, noone with a solid reply on the GPS fix. Sure it is a known problem then that means dont use newer versions of Cyanogenmod or dont use it at all if you want to also be able to use GPS?
I have downloaded all possible programs to help with the GPS and I still I am only able to get signal by using WiFi (so basically just with cell phone towers).
Anyone with a solid idea on how to fix this?
thanks again

[Q] Modem issues

Hello everyone. I've tried many modems (XXLS8, NELP4, XXKI4, BVLP7 etc.) but each of them had some different issue. First was loosing network, with second the front speaker stopped working, with some I wasn't able to hang up the phone - the red button only minimize "the call" to status bar... Just noone worked fine :\ I don't know what to do yet! Any advices, does RIL have to match with modem? (I have CM 10.1.3 stable)
I've had these issues when I've accedently flashed Samsung modems on CM ROM. If you're on CM or AOKP type ROM - reflash the ROM to get the default modem back. Don't flash other modems unless you're 100% sure it's made for non-stock ROMs.
Hey, I also had some issues tried more than 5 different modems that were supposed to be good and none worked. But then i started to go through all of the modems that are linked on the cyanogenmod wiki site for the i9100 and the 4 one solved it.
i think you should just keep on trying different modems. If you have issues with all 12, you can start looking somwhere else. Also don't touch the ril its apparently not a good idea.

I had the exact same experience with my wife's phone that I bought of ebay. I even flashed a variety of RIL's (radio interface layers) and different modems. I'd never had the problem with my SGS3 before, and have hundred of different roms on it.
Anyway it seemed to be a kernel issue and after trying ever combination possible I found that wifi would always work perfectly on any stock based rom or any CM based rom (assuming that hey used the CM kernel). It wouldn't even work on a CM rom if I flashed a different kernel such as Yank's, Boeffla or Googy.
Also at the time I trawled the net looking for answers and found one or two others that had the same issue, but could still use stock Sammy or CM. Strange... almost felt like it was an odd batch.

Galaxy Light CM12 Rom

Hello everyone! I have recently install the CM12 ROM for my galaxy light and everything seems to be working. The only major issue is that the calling doesn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this or where i go into the files of the ROM to fix it? Thanks for your time.
Because CM12 is still in "nightly" stages that also means it is not stable and there is no direct support. There will be bugs and the only thing you can do is either flash the latest nightlies and hope it works or flash a completely different rom. Fixing calling is not something you can do on your phone.
Thank you
