No GPS after sim-unlock - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

I request a sim unlock from the operator.
Eventually my phone motherboard was replaced at sony and the phone came unlocked.
The problem is, the GPS does not work at all!
GPS Status shows 10 satellites but none of them has signal.
Any one had this problem before ?
Thanks!

I already did, the process speeds up, shows 10 or 9 sats, but all of them have zero signal :S

I guess that flashing custom kernel doesn't help? Try to reflash firmware several times, it worked for my bugged mini jack sensor.

My way to get it working is:
1. Edit manually gps.config or use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fastergps&hl=pl
After that it works but when I want to get some sat fixed i leave my phone aside near the window for 5 min and than usually it works.
I noticed that when the phone is still for a while the fix is faster I don't know why but it is.

I root only my neo v nothing else, just original only rooted and no third apps etc, another simcard is not needed, i have a replaceble sim from the vodafone shop and that still dont work, the shop manager put my sim in the lg optimus 3d and yes that phone gets 3g so why mine not, i have a vodafone prepay card, is this enough info mate?
I think there is something wrong with your phone. try reflash the baseband with the newest flashtool
I had this problem with another cell, maybe is the same problem
I only get 3G if I contrac a 3G plan with my carrier, without a 3G plan, my cel didn't conect in 3G
try to put a SIM card with a 3G plan to test!
sorry my poor english, I'm brazilian

My problem is a little bit different. I have rooted my phone, unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom rom (miui 2.6.8 based on 4.0.4 ics by zdunex25)
with the official 4.1.B.0.431 version, my 3G is working perfectly well, but after i flashed the new rom (with the recommended kernel by the dev) the 3G is not working
I have checked the settings to enable data and nothing is working. Does anybody have any idea on how to make this work?! Because other people with the miui rom have no problem at all and everything is perfect...

first check if you flash right rom for your phone (neo-neo v), have you tried reflash with full wipe?
LOL..
i had a very diff issue...
in my non-rooted,non flashed phone my 3G was not working, after flashing MiUi my 3G is working
Crazy sony phones
@tofumachine yes i tried that again and again... I've also tried different kernels with both the official and the miui roms. With the official, 3G is working with all the kernels and when i flash the miui rom, it just stops working! It's driving me crazy
@iamrajeev are you serious?! LOL will you swap phones with me?! hahaha

sorry for the late answer, but i eventually figured it out. it was the rom's fault, it loaded wrong setting for the mobile internet. I checked the correct ones with the official rom and now everything is perfect!

So I have stock ics Rom, from Yoigo, and when I am talking with the 3g enabled the phone takes time to call and when I am during a call it just hangs out from time to time.
I also called my provider and they told me that there was no problem with my line, so I should try with another SIM card (havent tried it yet)

Hi, did you find any solution for your phone problem??. I'm also facing something similar, I cannot place outgoing calls when my LG phone(Zain SIM) is connected to 3G network. I used the same SIM in a different phone and it works fine. Then I tried a Batelco SIM and it doesn't work either. Zain says its a problem with my phone. Then I tried VIVA SIM with my phone and it works perfectly. Now I'm totally confused.

Wierd touch screen problem

Hi guys, my st15i has a strange problem with its touch screen, it is working but the problem is in notification bar , in the matter of fact, upper stripe of my smultron is not responding, this happened few times i think when phone is in my pocket and i am working out or sweating this problem persists, but now it is not working at all . I really do not know what is this problem touch screen is working well but upper strip of touch screen is dead. Please help , give me any suggestions i still have warranty but i rooted my phone so i do not know will they accept warranty .
I had something similar to yours . My display would skip the touches when I touch it in a particular part (just below the centre of the display) but it only happens with the stock Sony firmwares. Sony is infamous for these buggy firmwares. If you still have warranty and your Bootloader is untouched you can repair your phone's firmware using seus and take it to the Sony service. And don't worry about the rooting thing, once you repair using seus you will lose root and the phone's firmware will be brand new. I think there is no way that the service centre guys can find out about you rooting the phone once you repair it using seus.
Press thanks if I helped you!

Seems to me like a Hardware issue, do check with a samsung service center and see
It might not be a hardware issue. It can also be software lated, i.e you have wrong ntp address, its finds some satellites but they are too weak to connect .o Try GPS fasterfix to change your ntp server. Search for it on the forum. Gps test plus is a good app to see the satellites strength .

Can you give me some more info and I'll try and help.
are you rooted?
unlocked bootloader?
Is there an option to select wifi on and off in settings?
does it display the available wifi access points?
can you take some screenshots to help us see what you see...
Did you drop it? unlikely but the signal amplification module could be damaged. (very unlikely)
That should give us something to work with
I guess its working again... glad I could be of assistance...
