I am noticing a trend now... Each morning the GPS wont start. I startup maps in the morning, and I get no GPS icon. (AGPS still works) When I turn GPS off, GPS won't turn on again... A reboot is required to fix the problem.
2nd phone now with this issue... starting to wonder if its related to charging all night...
I don't think it is related to charging, randomly my GPS will get stuck, either when I first try to use it, or after it has been in use for a while, the GPS icon just sits there, and it won't lock on, and I have to reboot.
Annoying to reboot when you're driving in an area where you're actually relying on the nav to be working!
I've had this issue too. I really hope they come out with an update soon. Love this phone besides the small nuances.

Weird, I don't have this problem but I do have a problem if I leave my WiFi on all night while it's charging. If I do, in the morning when I take it off the charger, the WiFi icon is gone and my 4G icon just keeps flashing every 5 seconds. It won't stop flashing and my phone will not have data until I reboot. Now I just turn off WiFi before going to bed since it doesn't happen any other time.
The easiest way to fix that is reconnect your wifi then while connected to wifi turn wifi off. Boom.

Did you guys get this GPS issue resolved with the new ROMS? I have the same problem and it doesn't seem to change if I use the stock Froyo or latest CM7.
Reboot and the GPS locks pretty quickly.

My GPS is "better" with the new baseband, but that is a highly relative term. It still takes 5 minutes or more to connect usually. The oddest thing though is when I go into GPS Status, I can see it is locked onto 7 or 8 satellites, but still doesn't have a lock, which is dumb because at least 4 should have a perfect lock. I will NEVER buy another LG phone in my life. Wish I'd have just waited for the Sensation, ugh.

My phone was from Wind Canada which has a baseband from Jun 7, 2011. If I am correct, there is no way I can even try the new T-mobile basedband that came with the GB update. LG updater says my phone is up-to-date, and I have not been able to find on the forums here a flashable file for the new baseband.
We're not sure when the Wind version of the GB update is coming. Hopefully soon, but the phone only launched here about 5 weeks ago.
Any other ideas?

Don't matter what rom I'm running and what kernel I am using the wifi connection suddenly turns off and then on automatically. I've checked the inactivity politician to never, and that's not the problem.
Does someone have the same problem?

Nope. My WiFi works great. I have the sleep policy set to screen off, turns back on immediately when I wake it up and I never drop it. The only odd thing I have is that sometimes while on WiFi it will pick up a mobile data connection as well. Doesn't interrupt anything its just weird.
Yes, I am. And I think quite a lot of users as well.
The wifi hardware in this Nexus S is ****.
Believe me, try to live with it, it is a hardware issue. Use 3G or invest better / more wifi access point.
I have tried a lot of things but im still with this boring thing .... Any solution???

My G2X periodically loses all data connection, and the up arrow on the top gets stuck. It usually comes back after 15-20 seconds, but lately it has been happening more frequently. It happened while I was on stock, so I thought maybe a new rom would fix it. I've tried cm7, and I'm currently running the leaked gingerbread rom, I even went to t mobile and got a brand new sim card, but it's only getting worse. At first it happened once every few hours, but lately it had been happening 3-5 times an hour, and it's getting very annoying. Is this happening to any body else?

Yeah I had the same problem with my o2x running cmx-11. I think its fixed now. What I did was flash modaco fr15 and that seemed to fix it. One of the bugs I guess :/

That works for me too, but it's only a temporary fix, and it only shaves off like 5 seconds on the waiting. Then it will happen again within the hour.

Man im not going to lie to you, this problem seems to be a quirk with tmobiles network or maybe gsm data as a whole. I have been having this problem on every single 3g phone ive had on tmobiles network since the g1 (then another g1, then cliq, then n900, then n1, then vibrant, g2, g2x...in certain areas its worse..and the ish can be really annoying.
Yup same here, mt4g, n1, now g2x data gets stuck all the time, customer service is a joke, i probably know more about phones than them, all they have you do is reboot phone, this problem is very very annoying.
G2X
It happens to my G2x also...it's very annoying!

Used to happen alot on my mt3gs. Experienced it a few times on my G2x. Only quick fix I use is task killing which I try not to do. Another way is calling my voice mail and let my network kinda 'find and reset' itself. Worked for me majority of the time lol.

This also been happening to be since I got the g2x I tried everything ... hopefully the gingerbread update will fix everything till then we will see ..
Happens on my vibrant, G1, and just about every single android phone on T-Mobile. I'm curious to know if this happens on other networks also, or if it is an android problem. I have very little tolerance for this kind of bs and if I can confirm this is a tmo problem then I'm bailing.
i get the same stupid problem
Ditto. I cringe to say it but my data connection was way more solid on my Vibrant (and it's replacement) than my g2x (and it's 2nd & 3rd replacements)... I'm praying it's the drivers... I'll be kicking myself if I picked another lemon. >=\
About the other networks...I had an epic 4g. .and it didn't do that

I'm running stock and my GPS is incredibly slow. Using GPS Fix can never get a fix within 15 minutes. Any ideas? Should I just return the phone? I bought it at a tmobile store over a month ago. Would they even accept returns this far out?
You only have 14days to return but I would go plead a case how your not satisfied with the product

That's when my problems started.
Hopefully the official GB update provides some fixed GPS drivers.
I noticed that it goes back and forth for me. Sometimes it locks right away, other times I have to close and reopen slash turn off and on GPS. Do remember though there are always areas that are hard for any GPS to fix a location on. I know some of them here in the twin cities.

That's what I thought...at first.
But I have 2 G2xs. One that has never been flashed, and one that was flashed to CM7 and back to stock.
Never been flashed picks up GPS everywhere, indoors, outdoors in under 5 seconds. It's perfect.
Flashed one hardly works. Sometimes never gets any GPS satellites. Other times it gets them but never locks, even with 9 or more satellites in view. Before flashing, it worked fine.
Ok so when I try to tether my phone to the PC(windows vista 32 bit) it will connect but only for like five minutes then it only gets limited connectivity. I've tried to diagnose from the PC but keeps telling me I need to contact my service provider. It will connect but goes back and forth. Would anyone be of assistance. Please and thank you

Ok guys I'm using stock tethering with USB. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting and it will give full connectivity then it will drop to local only then in a few more minutes it will drop to limited connectivity. I just don't get it. It will connect but just losses connection like crazy. I will try a few apps and report back, in the mean time any help or ideas on what to do are welcome.

I dont think it matters if the phone is charging or the screen is off/on. I used to tether with the stock app all the time no problem while charging and screen off for a long time.
I just recently started getting limited connectivity. I only use our stock Mobile AP. I have never used the usb cable to tether. I wonder if it is a result of something we flashed..
If we can figure this out I will be very happy!

I agree. It would seem it is due to some unforeseen issue that I would not no anything about. It seems like when the phone goes to sleep that's when the trouble starts. I haven't been able to test this theory as I haven't had access to a PC for a day or two. Will report back with you guys cause I'm gonna try a few apps and see if keeping the screen constantly on will help if it does then we will know it is something to do with the phone sleeping while tethering. Thank you much for your guys input..

I always turned my screen off and never had an issue before. This is recent issue for me. I'm not running any battery saver apps..I did recently flash a ROM that came with Bali 3.3 uv.
I never uv and actually flashed Bali 3.3 (no uv) this AM. Could the under volting be causing it? The last time I tethered was two days ago so I don't know if I still have the issue with Bali 3.3
Thanks
Ok. I have done some testing and definitely have come up with a fix for us. Is it a temporary or permanent fix? I'm not sure just yet. This is what I did.
Turned on my Acer laptop/let it boot up.
Turned on our stock Mobile AP as a wireless tether. I got limited access.
I right clicked on the signal status bars icon.
I got a popup with 3 choices one of which was STATUS.
I clicked on STATUS and the limited connectivity icon (triangle with ! In it) almost immediately disappeared before my status window popped up.
I HAD FULL CONNECTIVITY.
I browsed a little.
I shutdown/started up my pc 3 times and had full connectivity each time.
I then, for40 mins, downloaded ROMS, Kernels, Mods ect from xda and rootzwiki using wireless Mobile AP with no issue our loss of connection. I worked it good!
I am now shutdown and waiting for an hour to pass (another 30min) to test if I will have full connectivity immediately on connection.
I'll check back in soon. Hopefully I'm on the right track!
**Also**
My phones screen was off the entire time.

No. Audiophile Funk in the trunk as of yesterday but I was getting it on Black Ice too. Just started happening 10-14 days ago
@GDofWR420
Ok. I started pc/let it boot up and run. I then turn on Mobile AP (wireless).
It showed connected but there were no bars and the blue wheel was spinning..still early in its connecting process I'm sure.
I got the limited connectivity icon on the signal status bars and it said Limited connectivity in the popup.
I right clicked the signal status bars and immediately got Full connectivity. I didnt even get The 3 option popup with the STATUS option.
I'm still fully connected as I write this. My phones screen off the entire time.
I'm going to shut down pc and reboot phone and see what happens...I'm sure it is something we flashed and when the devices "talk back and forth" something happens.
Forgive my noob speculations and non technical replies. I'm REALLY NOOB with pc's lol.
If all we will have to do is right click the signal status bars here and there that wont be to bad.
I'm going to Odin stock (probably not tonight) and see how that works for us also...
BTW; I have been using your CWM advance restore guide and I'm loving it! Wish you did it months ago! What a time saver! Thank you for that.
So I flashed synergy today and so far everything is great except the fact that the wifi notifications are still present. Anyone running this ROM on verizon know how to fix this?

Ok, this is something I don't understand. I am loving the SynergyROM so far, and the stock ROM wasn't bad either. However, with the stock ROM, with WiFi off, it would still notify me when in range of a remembered network, and suggest connecting automatically. It still does this with the Synergy ROM, despite turning it off in settings or using the notification screen widget.
Is WiFi really OFF if it still somehow knows whenever you're in range of a remembered network?? It blows my mind that you can't really turn some of this crap off despite really wanting to. We have 4G where I live now (finally!!) and it's over FIVE TIMES as fast as any internet I can get at my house. STOP trying to connect to inferior wifi, hahaha!! Never thought I'd be complaining about this, but there you have it.
How do you really shut off the wifi? I couldn't even do it with the phone completely stock and unrooted.
