How to revert to 2.3.2? My GPS was working... - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After update to 2.3.3 my GPS can't fix and even to find sats is difficult.
Even with clear sky and not in movement can't find more than 2 sats.
Before the update was working fine.
How to revert?

I had the same problem. 2.3.2 GPS worked. 2.3.3 GPS didn't work as well. I was able to get it to work correctly by flashing the radio again.

search the forum and the net for a full 2.3.2 rom and overwrite what you have.

Change the APN's?
i only run into this issue once something happens when I go from wifi to data sometimes it sticks. MX superlight gb rom.. only happens sometimes
have you tried using a alternative browser such as dolphin browser, im on same rom and only use dolphin, give it a shot maybe its just the stock browser acting up.
EDIT: sorry im on superlite ics 4.4 missed you saying gb
Yeah apn looks right and I still don't get any data at all no signal for internet. Just voice service.

Which RADIO??? i didnt see any radio to flash
When I've had this issue either reflashing the ROM again or altering the apn settings usually works. However,a couple of the 2.3.6 roms did have issues like data suddenly not working after three or for days of doing fine.

so i flashed the radio and it still did noting. the internet is still not working at all.
What should i do???????????
total wipe and reflash man from scratch. Use a back up and restore. Maybe your downloads of the roms are somehow corrupted. Delete them just to be sure and re download. Just trying to think of any little odd thing that would cause this to keep happening.

GPS config Inspire with ICS

I have an Inspire and I've been using the Blackout ICS Rom and my only problem is with GPS taking forever to lock...I am using GPS status to reset and download assist data but I'm still getting a lock on any satellites, I'm using the most recent AT&T radio... Should I be using a different radio? or do I need to do something else?
Thank you in advance for your help

I have luck by toggling mobile data off and then back on. I use GPS test by chartcross. Usually it will start by weather widget not getting location. I then open GPS test and it won't lock. After toggling mobile network off and then back on it locks and then weather widget gets location again. They are working on a fix for these issues.

I'm not familiar with that particular rom, but you may need to flash Inspiremod to get the gps to work right.

DO NOT flash inspire mod on blackout. It will mess things up.

Like I said, I am not familiar with that rom, I just know virtually every other rom I have ran needs to have it flashed for the gps to work right.

You have the right idea but the file itself isn't compatible with blackout

I knew it sounded like it was on the right track but I figured that the Mods for the Inspire that are out there for ICS are only for AOSP/AOKP not the new Sense ROMs that people are actually using as daily drivers now that everything pretty much works

[Q] NFC error when using soju factory image for GRK39F

Yesterday I flashed my i9023 back to Gingerbread 2.3.6\GRK39F (just for fun) using the official Google factory image from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#soju
I notice that the NFC no longer works and gives the error message 'an error has occurred' (or something to that effect) when trying to activate it.
Has anyone else noticed this? My NFC works fine on all the other images so my hardware is good, and it used to work back in the old days.
Have you wiped it properly beforehand?
If not, there's a guide in the General section
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
If I recall it was a bug on 2.3.6 regarding NFC. Hence the update to 2.3.7.

yes, i unlocked bootloader via fastboot which wiped the device. also the factory images flash-all.sh script wipes by default.

2.3.7 was for the 4g nexus only.
anyone feel like flashing back to GB to reminisce the good old days and see if nfc works?

I stand corrected :thumbup:
I had oxygen on my nexus the other day and all was fine when I disabled NFC.

The title says it all.
Any suggestions for Rom with working gps (for those whose gps was PREVIOUSLY BROKEN)?
(and now working well with the new rom you recently installed.)
Thanks.

Thanks. I will give it a try soon!
Make sure you try the stock trick. I flashed a Rom once that borked my GPS. The solution is to flash back to stock. Reroot and flash a new Rom. Every Rom since has worked great, it was just one bad one.
I too use jellywiz with working gps

Is any stock good? Even jelly bean stock by Scott? Or should not be ics stock? Thanks in advance!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Sorry keep asking. After flashing back to stock, should I start dirty flashing when flashing to other rooms or clean is fine?

Navigate to my guide in the dev section...follow section 5! FULL WIPE is recomended.
oddly enough, I am only able to get a satellite fix by unchecking "Wi-Fi & mobile network location" and only using the GPS satellites.
Have you tried that?

Yes, nothing happened. I tried it twice and nadda! I'm not sure as to how I can fix it, I have convert back to stock and nothing. Makes no sense and I only started having this problem when I started flashing JB roms, I have also tried flashing different roms like ICS and still, no lock. Any other suggestions?
EDIT: Nevermind, I rebooted and run GPSfix, location fixed! Thanks a lot =)
