Hi,
I am having some GPS issues and I don't quite know how to fix them.
First of all, I have tried different ROMs starting with JellyKing, CM10.1, MarvellousCM10 and they all behave the same way.
The GPS simply does not get a fix, even when I let it sit outdoor for several minutes (I even left it 30 minutes).
There are times, however, where it gets the fix right away, it would work till I close the app that is using it (Endomondo, Runkeeper, for example) then it won't work again. I was not able to find any way to reproduce the "working" GPS.
The fact that it works, albeit rarely, makes me think it's not an HW issue, but I'm not so sure anymore.
What did I try already:
1) I followed this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563226
The fix -supposedly- was tested with the Wildfire S.
Made no difference.
2) I installed FasterFix
The App simply did not work for me. Whichever server I picked, it said that an error had occurred
3) I installed FasterGPS
The app worked, in the sense that I selected a server and it updated the gps.conf file.
It made no effect though.
I have installed "GPS Status" to test it and I was (never) able to get a fix since I installed it.
All of the above was done with the rom from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878031) but I had the same behavior with other roms ...
Any suggestion?
None of those patches will help you.It's just a placebo.
However, GPS is not working on cm ROMs as it works on sense based ROMs.
It does work, but it needs a lot more time to get a fix, especially the first one.It takes around 10-15 min, or even less if you're under the clear sky.

Poh. I left it more than 30 minutes on the balcony. Clear sky, completely open. Nothing.
Are you saying this is an issue with the CM10* based roms?
So if I try one based on CM7* should it work?
I really would like to move to JB and stay away from Sense ...but I need the GPS to work.
Thanks for your help.
Well, as I said, it does work, but it's much faster on sense ROMs.Don't know why you can't get a fix, I'd suggest downloading GPS status from play store, there you can see exactly how much satellites your phone is catching.
I think it's that way on every CM based ROM.However, I've never tried cm7, so, can't really say for it.

Hi FAtfcK,
how did you follow the 1st method, exactly?
I have installed ES File Explorer, then I downloaded the Google Specific, no SSL file and extracter gps.conf on the SD card.
Then with ES File explorer I copied the file in /etc (of the internal memory). It did ask me if I wanted to overwrite the existing gps.conf, so I figure it was the right location.
Rather than overwriting, I renamed the original one, then copied the new one.
I rebooted the phone (just in case) and waited ... and waited ... but no luck.
Did you do the same?
By the way, which Rom are you using?

In my ROM, you can select your region (Europe, Asia, Africa, ...) and aroma will pick a gps. conf for you.
And yes, first GPS fix takes about 15 min, but it should work fine after that.

DJolivier,
I'm sorry but that's not the case.
I flashed Marvellous CM7.2 and the GPS works perfectly. It gets a fix outdoor in 0.1s.
Even indoor it would get 4 or 5 satellites (not enough to get a fix), but it clearly showed that the GPS was working.
WIth any of the CM10* that I used the GPS was practically dead (did not see any satellite when outside): the GPS simply was not working.
I can't quite use CM7.2: I don't need many apps, but the few I do need don't support Gingerbread, apparently, which is a pity, because everything works in Marvellous 7.2 ...
Now that I know that the HW clearly works, I plan to re-flash a CM10 and try again the various options ...
Thoughts?
1) Take gps.conf from CM7 and implent it in any cm10 ROM
2) Try CM9. It's Android 4.0.4 ICS, I know that it works perfectly.
Gesendet von meinem HTC Wildfire™ S mit Tapatalk 4 BETA
You can't say that GPS is not working on cm10 ROMs, when it is.You don't need to touch gps.conf, or to do anything for it to work.It does work.
I got fix from 12 satellites once when I was outdoors.Indoors, I usually get 5-7.

Nightshadow931,
I am sorry but GPS with any CM10 I have tried so far is dead. I had some random luck which I cannot reproduce.
I am not claiming that gps is broken on CM10, but for sure it does not work for me. Infact, I was under the impression that this issue was only mine, however, apparently, it is not and there is a "known" issue with GPS in CM10.
I have installed this morning Thunderbolt 2v0 (based on AOPK 4.1.2) and it works like a charm.
I did not try Djolivier's suggestion of copying the gps.conf from CM7.2 to CM10: I read the suggestion too late.
For now I am going to stick to this rom.
Gps issue isn't in AOKP because it isn't cm based

I have a MarvelC and have been running CM10 alpha since January. I had been having issues with GPS in all the ROMs I tried - and was told that unless I was using a sense based ROM - GPS would not work for long if I ever got it working.
In the Play Store - I found this App - Navfree USA: Free Satnav. It works most of the time. There are times I do have a problem getting a connection, but I don't know if that's because of the ROM I'm using, or because of where I am at the time and there is no satellite to connect to.
For the US version, you do need to down load individual state "maps" to use - but that has not been an issue. They also have other country versions.
It may be a "fix" for someone - give it a try.

Mamadanz,
I think I tried all the CM10-based roms for WFS and I was never able to get the GPS to work consistently. I suppose it may depend on the App that you're using: the one I tried (Endomondo, Runkeeper) don't work.
Using the AOPK-based Thunderbolt 2v0 (which is JB 4.1.2, but not based on CM) I have no problems, whatsoever, with the GPS. It's been a few days so far and I have been using it extensively.
The rom, in general, is good. Some things are in a "different" place than what I'm used to, but you have all you need.

Thank you Scardac - I did download your ROM. Unfortunately, downloaded the wrong GAPPS yesterday and didn't realize until I flashed everything while away from home. DL's the correct GAPPS very late last night so am still playing with everything. But so far - everything looks very good. I'll keep you posted.
Thank you again.

Hi,
I'm currently running dk_zero-cool's ICS BCM-Rom for Desire - which seems very stable and usable to me. I love being abke to run ICS on my old Desire.
I'm having trouble with the runkeeper app though and was hoping somebody can help me out here: For some reason, the app (which works fine under the most recent GingerVillain Rom) stops using the GPS to track my runs after about 1.85 miles/ 18, 19 minutes. I've had this happen three times in a row, so I don't think it's a coincidence (I was using 0.2.5, 0.2.6 and 0.3.2 versions of the ROM, resp.). The app still reports "good" GPS quality, it simply stops tracking.
I've been trying to use the "FasterFix" tool to stop this from happening, but without success.
I have not tried if this problems persists with a different running app. I will do this, but I'd really rather not switch apps.
Any ideas? Runkeeper seems to work under ICS in general (at least, I can't find any reports of problems).
Thanks for your help!
Or, if nobody knows anything, could somebody maybe post my question in the dev-thread, please? I still haven't got my 10 posts ...

Or you could PM me
Try THIS. If that fixes it, I can add it to the ROM later.
I did not come up with this fix. I just read it in a thread and posted an individual thread for it. Thanks to whoever originally found this!
Download:
Fasterfix: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5Eb3VibGUuRmFzdGVyRml4Il0.
GpsFix: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hbmRyb2lkbGFiLmdwc2ZpeCJd
Now run fasterfix and choose your location. Now open GpsFix and let it get a fix. This works best outside. Now it should be fixed.
Video how to:

EDIT: both apps can be uninstalled after without losing gps lock. They are just used to fix gps and won't be needed after.

Sadly it doesn't help..
Tried this process.. the fasterfix allows me to change the server to Asia server.
GPSFIX tries to lock the fix, but can only find 4 satellites within the 15 minutes timeout, and it seems its not enough for a fix.
Might be the CM9 based rom I'm using
This worked on an older rom for me and I haven't lost quick gps lock through numerous roms. Ibdid have to go outside and do gps fix twice, but after it locked its been quick lock through 20+ rom flashes since. Some people have said it worked form them and some it didn't work for. You might be one of the unlucky ones.

Thanks for the posts. Running Calkulin's ICS. I tried the methods above and also the ones cited on the forum where you push a file to /System/lib/hd. I changed the permissions as required. Still, no lock. Worked fine on GB.
Anyway, thanks for the posts and knowing that right now for some folks, it just doesn't work.

I got it working. I found a post later that pointed to two apps that, when applied in order, made it work. They are, in order,
FasterFix
GpsFix
I ran each app, in order. The second one took a fee minutes.
Hope this helps.

I downloaded the FasterFix last night, changed the server location to North America. Then I ran the GPS Status app (available on the market) and got very quick locks on 10 satellites. I just installed the Blu Kuban Rom yesterday and wanted to make sure I was getting GPS to work. Good luck.

Yes, Networks are shown, but can´t connect. Just reflashing it one time to make sure its not a bad flashing Prob.
Tried out every Channel and it was listet in all of them, but sometimes it dissapears and come back again.
And another big bug: You still have the CM9 bootanimation
Flashed it again without Gaaps. same Problem.
It tries to connect and than it is listed as: Saved, secured with WPA, but not connected
it shows the connecting but than again Saved, secured with WPA
and sometimes it just go to not in range, with the pad next to my FritzBox
Just opened a guest account on my Box with no security and the same.
Connecting than saved, than not in range
Just putting it right next to my box and wlan is working, but very very very slow.
20 cm away and its not running
BTW there is not SU am I right? will try the root.zip
Su is there, but not working. I am not able to update binary, so no SU for Titanium
Have to go to work now, so more later

Even tried TWRP Recovery, too. Nothing.
Damn I hate thinks like that
So will wait for the next nightly and going back to the latest CM9 nightly for now.
wow, great work guys....i dont know how much longer i can hold out on this. i am currently rooted but still locked. thankfully i have mostly fixed my lag issues in the browser. i want to jump on the JB wagon ASAP, but hate to loose my warranty. i would love to hear from ASUS about an official update to JB.
looks great so far though. if this becomes fully functioning before an official OTA, i WILL be flashing it.
Soo after a little testing
-Microphone dont work
- Storage is a big deal...
I can download and install apps through the play store but no other app can detect the stoarge...
-Googe Now becomes an FC when i tap on a card
-When i choose german at the start, the TTS enginge becomes an FC
-Google Music play not good music. Its really stocking.

Yep storage and mic are what I'm working on now.
As far as Google Now FCing, most cards work for me, some FC. One FC'ed because it tried to open Google Maps and couldn't, there should be a more graceful way of saying "I can't handle this card", but it just FC'ed, so try to install Google Maps/other Gapps from the Play Store and hopefully that'll fix the FCing.
Like I said, anyone is welcome to take a look at:
https://github.com/loganmc10/android_device_asus_tf300t
And help me fix things, I'm compiling a new version right now to test storage, I'm not too hopeful this will work though.

I just flash my Desire HD with the latest 4.0.4 Blackout ICS V3 Sense 3.6, and I found two problems:
1 - when I activate the WCDMA, the cellular network is no longer working.
2 - Tweaks Blackout puts an error: "unable to start activity"
Headset Remote
headset remote isn't working
forgive me if anyone has ever mention this before
be greatly appreciated if someone can give me some pointers of this issue.
Haven't tried the radio since I don't use it that much (froze it with titanium) to reduce the amount of start up apps.
Found portable hotspot to be a problem-> start it up and it would be an unprotected connection even though it is set for a password. Shutting it off afterwards will not allow WIFI to start up unless I reboot.
Yes, I had the same problem with Wifi hotspot. Connected only once and afterwards even after reboot it refused to work... I also had problems with some widgets, ie my favorite Folder Organizer which is crucial to me doesn't display 5 icons in a row, only 4 so icons don't fit. Really strange, since FO worked fine with every other ROM I have tried (even ICS one)

I had the same problem with not being able to connect to cellular network. I restored to my previous GB ROM in the meantime. (I'm in Australia)
I read somewhere that a ROM's RIL interfaces with the phone's radio (Baseband). Our problem might be with that.

He already answered your question, the 4.1.2 weren't ever completed, they were abandoned... hence why the issues in those roms are still present.
Install PACRom 18.2 and then apply the fixes for keyboard etc. I think the fixes are in the litekernel thread. Put on the latest litekernel for 4.1 keyboard fix, lights fix and you'll have the best working 4.1.2.
Note - skype and bluetooth headset still won't work, pretty sure the camera issue with rotation is still present. I ran pacrom 18.2 for MONTHS without any issue except those listed and the wake lag.
I was trying to port something, not use it as a rom.

GPS and other features
Uhm is any STABLE release with:
GPS Working (most important)
MUSIC Working
Skype Working
Camera Working
Google Now Working (this seems to be an issue from all custom Roms)
Since I've seen most these features working but none on the same ROM all together

Not for version 4.1.2 (jellybean)
Only ICS 4.0.xxx ...
****, somebody needs to make a sticky for the most current stable rom .. this question keeps coming up over and over and over in every forum and many threads.

GPS has always worked. Some of the technical data returned is invalid/bogus but Google Maps/Navigation is completely unaffected.
MUSIC Working

Again, it's always worked, so long as you don't have an app trying to record audio at the same time.
Skype Working

Skype works for text messages, but received audio in calls is corrupt. The core of the issue is audio playback breaks when an app opens the microphone. (Ironically, the microphone itself actually works fine, i.e. voice recognition has messed up audio cues but it does process what you say correctly.) Current hypothesis is it's a driver issue. Research is ongoing. This is a longstanding issue going all the way back to our very first JB kernels.
Camera Working

Current CM10.1 and derivatives have a fully working camera.
Google Now Working (this seems to be an issue from all custom Roms)

This is actually a known problem with Google Now itself, it depends on an instruction set the Tegra 2 doesn't have. The Galaxy R and the Galaxy Note 10.1 have the same problem, on ALL Jellybean ROMs, even official. Bug Google, not us.
There is a workaround: downgrade GNow to a working version (possibly by flashing old gapps), then disable "Hotword detection" in settings. Once that is turned off you can upgrade to the latest and it will still work.
Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply but:
1) GPS was not locking for me until I changed the gps.conf file in MOST of the ROMs I've tested.
2) Music didn't work on one rom I tested (now and then the music player started lagging and it automatically stopped every few seconds for a few milliseconds)
3)Thanks for the Skype reply; I was hoping there was some version with this fixed but evidentely not.
4)Camera flips orientation in all the roms I've tested. HDR just worked in 1 of them. Camera actually crashed from time to time in one of them.
5)Oh, sad about the Google Now fact. It's actually one of the main reasons I wanted JB
The skype thing Can't be a hardware issue since I've used skype several times before rooting my device. The issue you are talking about happens on google voice sometimes; therefore I'm guessing you're right on thinking that the problem is on the driver.
I'm very interested in ROM building since I'm an app developer for android and a C++ programmer; yet I've been too lazy to check how it worked. Are the drivers we are using open source? or are we just messing with the conf files trying to get things fixed?

hi,
thread how to compile from source:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071542
AFAIK drivers are not open source if they were there wouldn't be so much problems with them. They are ported from other devices similar hw but with code for them.
any news about JB and bluetooth headset issue?
this is the only thing that's been holding me back so far
