Download faster fix from market and change server to india. Go out in open sky and check if you get lock. If you get nothing in 15 mins either rom is corrupted or an hardware issue

Are you using stock firmware or a modified ROM? Most of the ROM's especially GB have problems with GPS.

What is you fw

Also, try GPS AIDS app from the market! Many users believe it to be working! DO this thing before you apply the fix in the links It should work!

I have a custom Rom osman v q.
1. 3 the fw is xb 3 now I'll try with what you post

Okay! So, the custom ROm always have a problem of the GPS lock. IDK whether the fixes work on a custom ROM. You can try it on the stcok FW. BTW, if it by chance works, do tell me! All the Best!

so for obtain the fix gps i must flash a stock rom? which? thx in advance

After you did the tweaks, you are not getting the lock? Also, try out the GPS using wifi for nearly 5 times. You will get the lock. For the first lock it will make you wait for nearly 20 minutes. The time will decrease gradually

so what does it mean "try out the GPS using wifi for nearly 5 times." that i only use gps without the option of wifi network?

No No ! See, connect to a Wi-Fi router and then try to lock the GPS. Just keep disconnecting, re connecting and locking for 5 times. It should get your GGPS to a good shape!

I am facing a very weird problem in my phone, i am on MIUI and my phone is not able to detect many apps from the
market like facebook, go launcher, Instagram etc etc. i have downloaded the .apk from outside and using them.
But when it comes to facebook after installation it says that : "Application not installed" , i tried many time from but
no success i tried for apks downloaded from different different sources...Can someone help me to get rid off from this problem.
man i suggest you to do a double wipe in recovery for both cache in the main menu and dalvik cache in the advance menu
if still got the same problem ,do you have rom toolbox ?
have you ever edited the LCD DENSITY ?
the default should be 240
i tried to change it before and led to lot of apps disappeared from market due the lcd density changed as i guess market will detect your lcd density to judge which app available for you
or
u have just flashed a wrong version thats not for your phone

Do you have to wipe your efs cache? I know I had to on my g2
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
Nope, just flash it
Flash it and use the App "GPS Status" to reload the agps data. That gives the best results.
My GPS I's not accurate anymore. It's about 250 yards off. It only gets precise with wifi. Is there a way to flash back to what I had? I'm in the U.S.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
You redownload the agps data Luke i wrote in the notice section in the first post? If you want to go back get the gps.conf from your Rom and copy it into system/etc. or if you haven't other mod reflash your Rom without wipe.
It actually started working. I guess it just needed some time

Wifi not working at all.

Hi all!
I have a problem with my LG Optimus 3D. I cannot enable the Wifi, when I tap on the wifi enable icon or try to enable in the Settings it just flashes. A note, I forgot to disable the wifi when I went to sleep, and my phone was on wifi all night, but I think this cannot be the source of the problem.
Here's what I tried so far:
- Hard reset - Wifi not working
- Factory reset - Wifi not working
- Changed the ROM - Wifi still not working (I used this ROM)
Any suggestions ?
Thanks for the answers in advance!
If the wifi is not working in any situation consider to put it back to stock, clean it up and give it to assistance to repair it.Might be a faulty WiFi module. Are you sure that you don't use a fixed IP on the phone or your router is faulty?Just asking...

Hi!
Thanks for your answer! My router is working fine, I cannot even turn on the Wifi on the phone. :/
Any more suggestions ?
Well the return to stock and assistance is still valid.Try doing an emergency recovery using update tool from LG.Maybe the new version software- the 2.3.7 version with v21e baseband version, would do something good. Cheers mate and good luck.

This is certainly not the source of the problem. I keep my WiFi always on (from advanced settings, WiFi Sleep policy: Never) which doesn't consume much batter when the phone is on standby.
did the problem occur when you flash the rom ?
in which baseband you had
for example if it was 2.2 baseband and the rom was for 2.3 it can not be flashed with clockworkmod
you should flash the kdz files for 2.3 baseband and then flash a rom with clcokworkmod
i also had problems with wifi and i did flash a 2,2 baseband ( kdz files ) and the problem was fixed
Can someone help me? I got a wifi issue also.... sometime i can't turn it on... and it drains my battery so quickly... and whenever it happens, i have to restart it in order to use the wifi... i think i have a stock rom... i don't flash another rom again since the last rom from thaiz... and there're not a big improve at all...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I had WiFi issues (and signal issues) from wrong base bands in GB. Some ROMs and kernels aren't compatible with certain base bands and you can either lose WiFi, signal or both

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?

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 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

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.

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?
