GPS for exchange? - Captivate General

No matter if I'm on stock, cognition, perception, or any other custom ROM my GPS never works. "Your current location is temporarily unavailable."
Is there a fix for this at all? If not, could I still demand a new phone even after the 30 day return period?
It's build 1008
Thanks

Have you played around with lbs test mode? Tried jm9 or ji6 files? If you complained enough you may be able to get a warranty exchange

Where might I obtain the jm9/ji6 files?
Right now I'm running Serendipity 2.0, if it matters

Gps is still a no go on serendipity?
Have you changed your supl settings?

Yes...just returned mine today. Ask for 1010. Files won't fix it. It's the phones hardware.
My two 1008's were horrible...1010 perfect

I've tried switching from Auto config to the custom one, changing to control plane from SUPL, and deleting GPS data. Same result.
Gonna try flashing those GPS files, ty for the links.

Might have fixed the way the antenna is attached or used. Either way it's flawless now and both my 1008s were brutal.

Tried flashing both the GPS files, no luck. I'm going to go return it tomorrow I think.

From everything I have read build 1010 can not use, our has issues with odin one click. Personally I would except poor gps over no odin

hmmm...
What about build 1012? I assume that's the newest build, might be a newer one. I just want slightly working GPS at least

Do you have wireless location enabled?

If you just want to throw a ton of crap at the wall try this

I've tried wireless location, it worked, but only when on Wifi of course.

I would say do not use wireless location
After using last files I posted this is what I get in my house with no windows near me

Haha yeah, at least now I can check what city I'm in, incase I forget.
I think I'm going to exchange it tomorrow.

Is there a way to fix GPS lock on Jelly Bean ?

Hi,
My GPS used to be locked within a second on stock ICS.
Now, I'm on Sky Jelly Bean, and I notice that it takes a long time to have GPS locked, and its accuracy is far from what we consider 'accurate'.
So is there a way to fix these GPS issues on Jelly Bean?
Thank you.

Install the AGPS patch in the dev section. It's never failed for me on any ROM I've used it on.

I just installed [Rom]Sky-JellyBean-4.1.2) Update 10.3 ((Base T10-(10/26/12)) GS3-Touchwiz--Vs--CM 10, and GPS wasnt locking either.

Actually, I spoke too soon. It looks like the patch was working since it immediately locked on. I went out for a drive and used the NAV, and initially it was working, but after a few minutes it began to drop out and report "GPS Signal Lost"...
From your screenshot, it looks like you can see at least 12 satellites with fairly decent signal.
I am using a different app, and mine seem to vary between 0, 2, 5, and 7... Constantly changing. Wish mine looked like yours.
I've already wiped everything, and going back to stock using both Kies and Odin methods, but still have the same issue.
Read somewhere to wipe the external SD and eemc, so going to try that now.
Hopefully its not the phone.
What app is that screenshot from? Want to try it.
Thanks!
It's called "GPS Test". Pretty simple app.

[Q] My Wifi Speeds Are Atrocious! Soultions?

Running on Cyanogenmod 10 12/3 Nightly.
Ok here's my conundrum. My router has up to a 300mb/s burst & my speeds haven't suffered on any other device except my phone. The odd thing is the fact that my wifi is listed as having 72mb/s speed. See screenshot below...

Here's the kicker: A speed test on my laptop is just fine. See screenshot below...
BUT a speed test on my phone? Trash...
It also turns off during sleep despite having the "always on" option checked.
What do I do?
first of all 74Mbps is insanely fast, but I bet your internet provider is not even close to match that speed. What's your actual internet speed? I guess its 20Mbps from your laptop speed test. Now why you got such a low download speed on the phone is probably because someone was downloading something on different machine which took all the bandwidth or because you are on a nightly ROM lol.
I just made a test on my HOX and I got 9.607Mbps down and 3.892Mbps up. My laptop got 9.77Mbps down and 2.86Mbps up.
Have you had this issue before or are you just starting with CM10? Long story short, I've had the same issues with CM10. At times, WiFI speeds are normal and everything works great, then all of the sudden it drops and becomes unusable. Sense-based ROMs work fine for me.

My internet speed is at 25mb/s cable. To the highlighted I'm the only one using the wifi, that's impossible.

Yeah it's only been since I flashed CM10. This issue hasn't been recognized yet or something? Because from my searches it seems as though I'm in the minority & may just be SOL. I hope that isn't the case...
I've had this problem as well. Running CM10 "stable"

Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989203&page=6&highlight=wifi. A few of us reported having different issues with WiFi in CM10, my last post says that it was fixed with one of the recent nightlies but I spoke too soon, a day after using it the problem came back.
There's also this issue report http://code.google.com/p/cm9-msm8960/issues/detail?id=134 but I don't see a final solution yet.

GPS losing signal

Hi all
I am running mahdi 0823 all else stock
Seem to be having issues with Google maps. Sometimes it locks on, but then loses GPS signal very often. Or it won't lock on at all.
I have tried other modems but it doesn't seem to help much.
Does anyone else have GPS related issues ?
And is there any known fix for it ?
Thanks in advance and have a great weekend
I was having GPS signal issues with the stock CM11s and Franco kernal. I switched to PA with Franco Kernal and now get good locks. Maybe it is a rom issue?
I am on cm11s rooted and GPS is fine here!

same issue with gps! using franco and ak and mahdi rom.
maybe it is a mahdi rom issue???
I am having a GPS issue with stock CM11 44s. It works after a restart, but will stop working after a day. If I use a GPS status app, I see that it doesn't see any satellites in view at all. It's like the radio is completely dead, but then after a restart, everything is fine.
Same thing happening here. Losses satellite connection after a while. If I restart my phone it works fine.
Anyone found a fix yet? Mine also losses GPS fix after a while which is unfortunate because I use it as a sports tracker and it's useless if it doesn't work like it should.
I've tried CM11, CM11S, CM12, CM12.1, oxygen OS, some other ROMs any many custom kernels without any result.
It sees satellites, it connects, but can't get fix somehow.

'N' icon in status bar

I have disabled NFC and all Android Pay/Samsung Pay apps, and still the 'N' icon still appears every now and then, and it will only go away if I restart the phone.
I notice that after a night of charging that most times I wake up and see the icon. I can't remember another situation when it happens, but I'm not using wireless charging so it's not being used. Does anyone know why this icon appears after disabling NFC, and how I could prevent it from doing so?

No, it's stock M. It's the AT&T variant G930A, which does not support root yet.. I'm wondering if there is any other app or something I could be doing that's dependent on NFC, but like I said I can't even turn on NFC if I wanted to, everything's been disabled which a package disabler.

...Clearly then its witchcraft, Voodoo, or the 'Ghost of Near Field Communications Past'... Considering its a phone though, who you gonna call?
In all seriousness, backup and try a full reset after you go through all Settings options fully; try restarting it as well before factory reset. Shouldnt be doing that. I have an S7 Active never had that issue but it would drive me nuts.

Since this reply found out the G930A is rooted now! I don't know where I've been the past week. Anyway, thank you for your help, I'm gonna do a backup and root and freeze the apps. See if that helps.
