Ok I have had my inspire for about a week now and yes it's rooted. I have been having problems with my wifi saying unable to scan for networks. Go into advanced settings and mac address is unavailable. And when wifi doesn't work I am also not able to use tethering. Sometimes everything works fine and sometimes it doesn't work for hours. Suggestions would be appreciated

Have you flashed anythingI, or are still on stock kernel.. or have you ever flashed a kernel?
I have flashed 4 different roms and get the same issue every time. I am new to the android world so I have not flashed any kernels by themselves.

That is the rom I am running. Also forgot to mention bluetooth doesn't work.

Ever since I have rooted my Inspire I have tried many different ROMs, and the only one where the GPS locks consistently for.me has been the MIUI rom. Any other ROM either gives me a GPS lock some of the time or not at all.
I have tried many things to get.GPS to work on other ROMs. I've tried GPS status, FasterFix, clearing EFS data, editing the gps.conf file in /system/etc, and even copying the gps.conf file from MIUI to other ROMs, but nothing seems to work.
What is it about MIUI that make the gps work much better in that ROM than other ROMs? I like Sense and I don't really want to use MIUI but I miss my gps.

Try installing death's GPS fix. Mount system and data in CWM before installing. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11342772&postcount=1
Also, reflashing the radio sometimes helps.
I tried both angeldeath's North America and Southeast gps scripts and all I got was one satellite max in GPS status. I did mount system and data each time I applied the update in CWM.
I am now running Inspired Ace 1.0.1 FWIW.

Did you try reflashing your radio?
What ROMs are you have GPS problems with? You said all but MIUI, but which ones specifically?
I have tried flashing different radios and RILs to see if they work per the Inspire radio thread. I will try reflashing and see if that helps.
I have used CM7.0.1, CM7.0.2, CM 7.1 RC 1, Android Revolution HD 5.1x, Inspired Ace 1.0.1, and Inspired AOSP RC1. Each version of MIUI I have tried works. I have tried 1.7.22 and 1.7.16 (I think that's the version number).

I reflashed the radio and I got 2 satellites after standing outside in the same spot for about a minute.
I should also mention that fast boot is turned off.

Do you have a case on your phone? The GPS antenna is located behind in the vicinity of the camera flash. I've seen reports that some cases interfere with GPS reception. Try taking the case off just to get a lock. Won't hurt.
I don't have a case for my phone. I have seen threads where you take the plastic cover off the back that.surrounds the camera flash, straighten put the springs that.touch the contacts, and reapply the cover. I have not been brave enough to try that. Plus, if gps just works in MIUI bit not any other rom, then that tells me that it is a software issue.

Cool. Yeah I've see that hardware fix too. Luckily my GPS is functioning, particularly with AngelDeath. Weird problem only works on one ROM. Well good luck. I hate it when GPS isn't working properly.

Which ROM does GPS work properly for you?

GPS has worked on all of them...I currently have 4 Sense based 4 ROMS on my phone now that are in my sig. I have only rolled Sense based ROMs. Every one of them have essentially worked good, and they work better with AngelDeath. My worst experience was stock back a few months ago, but just this morning I flashed a rooted/leaked AT&T GB RUU with the bloat stripped, and GPS works acceptable/good on it without AngelDeath.
Which ROM did you just install? I am downloading the one that Gene Poole posted this morning to give it a whirl. Hopefully I will have better luck with that one.

I saw GenePoole's. That's cool he put one out.
It looks like GenePoole's ROM does much better with GPS than with others I have tried. I can get 5-6 satellites with it, which is not optimal, but better than nothing. I will try AngelDeath's scripts if I am not satisfied with the accuracy. Which script did you use; the North America script or the region specific one?

Region specific for me.
Hi everyone
I live in Georgia and have SIM Unlocked G2X , currently running owan's CM9 and Harsh latest OC kernel. My GPS gets a lock after 2+ minutes
I tried my gps.conf file that I was using on my captivate (I was getting instant locks with that conf) and still no go.
I get same performance on both GB and ICS ROM-s
any ideas?
I have same problem. It looks like AGPS on the G2x is broken. I run CM7.
Use bloater to adjust your GPS setups. Also check your build.prop for things pushing GPS signal to the us.

Thanks man, I will try that and write back
Ok so I installed cm7 on my Motorola xprt on the sprint network. The rom was ported from the defy. The only problem is that I CANNOT get any service whatsoever. It constantly says "searching for service". A few text messages have managed to get through, but that's it. I've searched everywhere for a fix in the past few weeks and have found NOTHING. I KNOW somebody here must know what's causing this. If ANYONE could help with this I would be so grateful. So far I've posted on the Cyanogenmod forums and these forums and not one person has bothered to help. I just want to get cm7 running for everyday use. That's all I want.

What type of router do you use and are you running any custom ROMs or just stock? Also how many devices are signed on to router at time of failure.
