Hi I'm running CM7 w/ dream kernel and my GPS isn't locking on at all. Also, my wifi keeps displaying "disabled" and refuses to connect. Does anyone who has had similar problems know any fixes?
For GPS, backup up your CM7 then load any sense based ROM. Get a very solid GPS lock (Use GPS status from the market so you can be sure) then restore your CM7 build. Thats the only way I got my GPS to work.

I was having a similar problem before I went back to Das BAMF 1.7.
There are threads about AOSP kernels that have Wifi issues which required a code fix. I suggest flashing a different kernel which has a Wifi fix in the changelog.
(Un)Fortunately GPS problems are not unique to the Thunderbolt. I had similar issues on my Motorola Droid with the AGPS data. Whenever I have GPS problems on any ROM, I run the application "GPS Status & Toolbox" by "EclipSim". It is capable of forcing an AGPS update. After getting the updated data Force Stop and restart the application having a GPS synchronization problem. If AGPS data was the issue then the application should sync quickly.
I tried both of those but they didnt work. The thing is wifi worked fine for about 3 days and started malfunctioning this morning. GPS didn't work from the start.
GPS won't lock on on my backup either

Go to your sense based rom. Download gps status from the market. Open gps status, hit menu then go to toolbox. Clear gps data and then redownload agps data. Get gps lock. Go back to CM7.

Did you install the kernel with ROM Manager or Kernel Manager? If you did, your wifi module is probably hosed. Install through CWR. Use the Sense/CM7 rom changing trick to get GPS lock.
Dreamkernel has the Wifi/MMS/Settings fix.
Fixed everything! Thanks guys. This is an amazing community.

I don't know what I did (or if I even did anything), but since this morning my mobile data is not working. I would turn on data network mode, but no icon appears in the status bar and I can't connect. Does anyone know what's going on or how to fix this?
I'm running Infused v. 2.0.2 if that helps.
Have you tried flashing to stock? if it is working, then flash back to 2.0.2 and check again. maybe its an anomaly, maybe its a bad app conflicting with something. I know done people are reporting issues with data in 2.0.2 perhaps you are experiencing more advanced symptoms.
Infused with gingerbread **** thanks GTG465X
I'm having a simular proble but my data sometime's stop's working after i use my wifi and i have to reboot to get it to work im running Infused v2.2.3 whitch is a awesome rom , wondering how I can work out that bug myself , but as far as your data not working I have run into that myself check your apn setting
I flashed Weapon v3.0 a few weeks ago (and wiped everything in CWM) and regardless of the WiFi sleep policy, I constantly need to disable and re-enable WiFi to get it to work after my phone's been inactive for a while. If I don't anything using the internet just times out. I came from xboarder's rooted GB OTA and didn't have this problem, and I didn't have this problem with CM7 either. Any help?
Use cm7 then its way better

I liked CM7, but I had that stupid APN issue so data wouldn't work, both on the RC and 7.1.0.1 stable. The APNs Backup/Restore app works temporarily, but I don't want to reboot my phone every time I do that. I'm probably going to try nightly 201 next, but I still would like to know why Weapon has this WiFi problem while I don't see anyone else having it.
Happens to me on cm7 regardless of sleep policy.
Didn't experience that problem, maybe try flashing an older weapon over it (2.8 or 2.7) and see if that works. I had 2.8 but was having a bluetooth problem and 2.7 is working fine for me.

I had this from a battery management app. Uninstall any you have and reset any other wifi related timed management to not managing wifi. See if that helps. If it does, reinstall the battery management app and don't set it to manage wifi. If that doesn' t work, reflash the kernel and rom
Hi guys,
I'm using latest Primo-s rom for aproximately 3 weeks. Some days ago installed IGO navigation and used for one short trip. Later that day I tried to use navigation, but phone did not saw any gps satelites. Even in status bar there is no gps icon, when I turn on gps. I tried several reboots but it did not worked.
Any ideas how to fix it?
on gps test app it shows that gps is on but it see no satelites. Tried agps data refresh, but id not worked

Stupid question, but have you actually rebooted your phone into recovery and tried clearing the cache?

rebooted into recovery, wiped cache partition and dalvik cache. Not helped.
But I found very strange thing - when I go to task manager and kill process /system/bin/surfaceflinger - phone goes to start screen for several seconds, then goes to normal operation. Atfer that - gps works for one session with several applications. When I turn gps off, and then turn on for a second time - it does not work - no gps symbol in status bar, applications do not find any satelite.
Maybe the problem is caused by you turning GPS off when you don't use it? I never disable GPS as it uses very little battery turned on until you run an app that actually uses the GPS system.
What happens if you just leave GPS enabled all the time?

I always keep gps turned off to save a battery. I don`t see reason to keep it always ON, because I need it only once a week. Earlier, before I rooted phone and started to play with different ROMs, GPS worked perfect.

You are currently using a ROM based on a different device and using a leaked, unofficial kernel. That often means that various problems can occur - and they don't always affect everybody. I am just trying to suggest a workaround that might help you out and is worth testing, otherwise try a different ROM to see if you suffer the same problem.
ok, thanks
I found this thread about agps patch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21325390
I`ll try this later, maybe this will fix my problem
AGPS patch has nothing to do with your issue. It helps faster locking - and also not always, only in specific cases when default aGPS settings give poor results. Your problem is that the GPS doesn't even turn on.
Also, since we're at it, there's absolutely no reason to turn off GPS switch. GPS doesn't use battery AT ALL until one of the apps actually requests it to function and give position.
Basically this is a WiFi issue with all CM10/AOKP fresh installed after Sep the 11th.
I said Sep the 11th because that is the best refference I can find.
If I flash any CM10?AOKP based ROM released after that date I lose wifi on 1st reboot after initial setup. To get the wifi working I have to toggle on the wifi manually, or toggle off and then on or reboot. I could not find a pattern. At the end the problem is that the wifi does not start on boot by itself. Let me be very clear here. Fresh flash.
Now here is the strange thing. I have several nands for Paranoid, CM10, SlimBean (unfortunately none for AOKP), taken pervious to that date and if I dirty flash to the last release everything works fine. No problems with the wifi.
The stock ROMs all of them work fine, fresh or dirty flashed.
I googled the internet and checked xda and other forums. I found just couple of similar situations but with no working solution .
One of them says that you have to odin back to stock, connect to wifi and then flash CM10. I did that and no go.
I tried different routers in different wireless configurations, same problem. Static ip and stuff.
Sometimes I get the wifi network "not in range" or the toggle for wifi in setting semi off or on.
If this is a wifi driver problem then:
1. can I get an old CM10/AOKP driver injected to the new releases?
2. why when I dirty flash the old driver (present in nand) does not get overwritten?
3. did you see anywhere a similar problem or it's only me.
Thanks in advance for your help.
same issues here on any build of aokp. wifi works until after a restart. i get the out of range error or wps failed. i have to shut off wifi and turn it on to connect. really annoying. funny thing is on ics i have no issues with wifi auto connecting.
ideas? Kinda weird only a small handful of people have this going on.
I've noticed WiFi issues also while on cm10. Lately I've noticed WiFi becoming better in more recent nightlies. However I've been doing clean flashes, and not restoring any system settings from backups. Even unclicking the boxes from the initial startup that allows Google to backup and restore settings on the phone. I'm assuming that possibly some setting/config is being restored causing the issue... just a thought

Nope i dont restore anything and always do a fresh clean install. If i had to guess its a buggy wifi driver that causes issues with certain routers. That would explain why very few have our issues. I guess for now ill stick to beans rom and wait for the jb ota.
Its worse than i thought as i have this issue on all the aosp varients. I just tried cm10, all aokp, liquid and slimbean. Same wifi error. I nandroid back to beans ics rom and everything is fine. Its got to be a wifi driver issue. There has to be more than myself and the op having this issue.
My GPS was not fast to sync no matter what I did.. In 4.1.2 TW.
I tightened the screws, tweaked the config, etc.. But Waze and other GPS apps would eventually lock and everything would be fine.. Just had to be patient..
I upgraded to Old&Slow 4.3, which is great; but my GPS now never gets a lock.
All the options are set in settings -> Iocations.. But Waze doesn't even detect the GPS anymore..
And GPS Status (from play store) also never got a lock after an hour of changing ntp servers and rebooting..
Also Phone Info Tool no longer works in 4.3 so I am now stuck with 4G, as I can no longer force 3G..
I would be open to suggestions on either problem..
Thanks in advance.

I use GPS test and have reset the AGPS once to resolve a GPS issue that occurred for me once before. Have you done this through any app? Usually tightening the screws has helped folks or you could go the Odin route.
Today.. The GPS is infallible..
I can not explain why..
It is faster than it has ever been..
