SGS tools has a gps fix, it can be found in the forums. It was made by Fr4gg0r. I haven't had gps issues but this could help. As always run at your own risk

As usual, if you have odd issues that other's aren't reporting - try starting over with a reflash. Flashing isn't perfect, so alot of times a re-flash will take care of these issues.
I've had some GPS issues since going to EA11 but i'm gonna try the newer ROM before I do a complete reinstall if needed. Foresquare never gets my location when I hit refresh lately.
When I switched to the eb16 pnp, I went ahead and installed a couple adons like the sgs touchwiz update and navigator apps from uscc(just used to using it). The gps is pinpoint accurate almost instantly unlike in previous the previous roms, and everything is super fast with voodoo

Okay I am trying to understand everything with cyanogenmod here. so far i have rooted my phone (2.2 voodoo kernel/custom recovery). I am wanting to put cyanogenmod on it because ive seen/heard the many features that it has to offer. Upon reading all this I am coming confused and need to know is there a "Stable and working" cyanogenmod for the samsung mesmerize? and how to put it on the phone if there is. Please and thank you

This has all been covered in the actual CM thread, all of our ROM's are stable they just have some missing features (AOSP built ones anyway)
MMS seems to be an issue right now, i have tried apns backup and reinstall and no luck. The other issue i have noticed is the cameras highest res is 3mp, but is fully functional. I also got 2694 on quadrant, if you have never used cyanogenmod i highly recommend it. Coming from a desire this is a bit of a step backwards, but no other rom will do. That being said, it's highly customizeable compared to other roms i have tried.
So the only thing not working is MMS?

Any tips for using wireless tethering on this ROM? I couldn't find it in Settings so I'm using an app but it unusably slow. Has the stock menu option been removed? I don't see USB tethering either.
Also, is there a way to get Swype back? Maybe this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-841603.html
Barnacle wifi seems to work.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I went back to super clean for the time being, as I also couldn't find any way to access my phone from my windows pc with cyanogenmod - I guess you need a separate app for that too? I will have to do some more research before using that rom. Can't wait, it is by far the easiest on the eyes.

Any word an a "my contacts backup" apk that will run on the cm6?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Why don't you just put your contacts on your Google account?
thats the best way to save contacts cause then it auto syncs back to the phone on any rom
In hindsight ... it would have been the wiser choice.

Anyone else having Bluetooth issues. I can't even enable mine. A friend is running the pbj time kernel says his is running fine. I flashed as posted and I get no Bluetooth. Also he claims to not have the roam triangle. The only difference is the kernel. Any thoughts?
I changed to pbj time kernel. I can now enable and file transfer via Bluetooth

Updated baseband and bad gps
I have CM7 and the updated baseband and just went for a run and was not able to get runkeeper to pick up my location until the end. I just tried bloater again, I'll let you know if that fixes things.
I experienced the same thing when I came from EB 2.3.3. Went to ROM Manager and used Fix Permissions. Seemed to lock much quicker after that, don't know why.
Hello I'm running my g2x on an miui.us rom and my GPS literally takes fifteen minutes to lock Bo matter where I'm at. It always knows where I'm at on Google maps instantly but can never give me directions.I've tried the blister program and several gpsfix programs and NOTHING works. What else could bebwrong? What else can I dobthat might be successful? Please and thaank you I need to use my GPS everyday andbthisbis aggravating
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Well to get directions you need access to the internet so make sure you have wifi on or have mobile data other than edge because that's "wiked" slow...(damn i'm going to college in those island and now i'm saying wiked)

Yeah that's the sad part I upgrades to the July 16 gingerbread bseband and its still slow as balls. I've tried.bloater and everything.I haven't tried manually editing the GPS config as I'm scared to mess it up. I might attempt to flash back to stock and wipe system a billion times to clear everything then reflash and see what happens bit I love miui.us too Mich and want to keep it...the inlet downside o have right now is GPS everything else is perfect

i'm running Valhalla 1.3.2 and several things in the market are saying they are incompatible that should work just fine.
Maybe try flashing a different rom to see if its rom related. Also try clearing your market cache AND DATA and maybe try fixing permissions. I'm sure you tried that but worth mentioning pretty strange though

figured it out... it was my LCD density. I had to set it back to 220, wipe market data, then install. Also had many updates that I wasn't getting. This is yet one more reason I hate the new market.
Dig the game, and thank you for posting it.
Kept seeing updates on this thread so decided the hell with it let's give it a go. Fun game, will be a good time killer. Thanks.
really fun and addictive. But I am stuck on a level and can't get past it.
my gps does not lock for some reason no matter what rom i try. can you guys help?
Did you clear your data/cache..? (Maps) How's your signal.what GPS are you using
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I am having a similar issue, but mine takes a good 10 minutes to lock on a signal. This is with a clear sky view and using google maps.
It seems to be getting worse lately. I am on Root66 with the bootloader still locked by the way.
I'm having the same issue as well. It was working like a champ before I flashed CM10.

I truly think it's because we all know Samsung makes great phones, but they lack in the radio department.mine takes a while sometimes even with a clear view of the sky.I think a good update to fix these radio issues would help out allot, unless our xda community can step in before especially now with an unlocked Bootloader

Try odining back to stock rooted. Fixed my gps after losing it in cm10

I'm also seeing trouble with my gps not locking. It's only been in the last couple days, and I've changed nothing since the time that it had been perfect.
Makes me think there's something satellite or google related?
Download "GPS Test" app from the market. Open the app. Go into settings and clear AGPS, then update AGPS. That worked for me. Try that before you Odin back to stock.

As previously stated, I am NOT using CM10... I tried to download "GPS Test" 5 times and got an error 491 all 5 times (with wifi on or off, did not matter).
EDIT: I restarted my phone and then it downloaded just fine... that is another annoying issue!
GPS
My phone with the stock Rom would generally asquire a GPS lock quickly, but tended to lose it more often than other phones. However, on CM 10 I have had trouble locking as well. For me if I put my phone on the dashboard I usually get a lock in about thirty seconds. I know that doesn't fix it for you, but it is the workaround I've been using so far.
Put a modified gps.conf on.
Use fasterfix and pick a local NTP server.
Turn on google A-GPS (Location services).
It still doesn't lock through objects as well, but it's quick outdoors.

I can confirm that this worked for me as well. Also, when I have locking issues in Maps or Waze, I just launch GPS Test and wait until the "In Use" # of satelittes is 2 or more. When I subsequently go back to Maps or Waze, I get an immediate lock.

I wrote up a lot about this for my previous device, the htc mytouch 4g slide. See this thread for some gps.conf info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16822068
GPS is a real big deal for me, I use the smartphone to get to/from work daily, and my job takes me all over the country so I am never familiar with where I am.
The SGSIII locks quick and accurately outdoors with only gps turned on for location services.
Totally stock, and haven't put it through it's paces yet, but been wandering around in west virginia all day and it's been great.
Clear view of the sky is necessary for good gps function, so trying to use indoors or even under lots of trees is a stretch.
Outside, maybe in a parking lot or field, would be the best place to try to use gps.

I found that flashing back to the actual verizon f2 build and then rooting without flashing a deodexed stock rom helped to retain gps with other TW roms like beans or synergy.
Right now I still think that CM10 is risky and you might need to flash stock back on your phone if things stop working like they used to.

I came from the samsung fascinate which had horrible GPS service for the first 6 months. OTA's were sent out to fix it but it never really worked well. I tried all sorts of programs and configs and deleting files, etc, which might have helped some but never great until one of the devs fixed the issue in the kernel. After that I could get instant lock indoors/outdoors/cloudy skies/etc.... super annoying to go back to a crappy GPS.

I tried this app, it didn't work as I had hoped. At first the app was successful at getting a quicker GPS lock than Maps, but after clearing & updating AGPS, it takes even LONGER for it to lock!
Has anyone else found another method to fix this?
PS: my phone is stock.
others have also suggested using Gps Status & Toolbox, similar to Gps Test.

That's my preference for on the fly.
I took a look at the gps.conf file, seems like it could be better then it is stock at first brush.
Not sure how much or often I can give time at the moment, but tweaking it is on my list.
