GPS for exchange?

No matter if I'm on stock, cognition, perception, or any other custom ROM my GPS never works. "Your current location is temporarily unavailable."
Is there a fix for this at all? If not, could I still demand a new phone even after the 30 day return period?
It's build 1008
Thanks

Have you played around with lbs test mode? Tried jm9 or ji6 files? If you complained enough you may be able to get a warranty exchange

Where might I obtain the jm9/ji6 files?
Right now I'm running Serendipity 2.0, if it matters

Gps is still a no go on serendipity?
Have you changed your supl settings?

Yes...just returned mine today. Ask for 1010. Files won't fix it. It's the phones hardware.
My two 1008's were horrible...1010 perfect

I've tried switching from Auto config to the custom one, changing to control plane from SUPL, and deleting GPS data. Same result.
Gonna try flashing those GPS files, ty for the links.

Might have fixed the way the antenna is attached or used. Either way it's flawless now and both my 1008s were brutal.

Tried flashing both the GPS files, no luck. I'm going to go return it tomorrow I think.

From everything I have read build 1010 can not use, our has issues with odin one click. Personally I would except poor gps over no odin

hmmm...
What about build 1012? I assume that's the newest build, might be a newer one. I just want slightly working GPS at least

Do you have wireless location enabled?

If you just want to throw a ton of crap at the wall try this

I've tried wireless location, it worked, but only when on Wifi of course.

I would say do not use wireless location
After using last files I posted this is what I get in my house with no windows near me

Well you have locked in your town

Haha yeah, at least now I can check what city I'm in, incase I forget.
I think I'm going to exchange it tomorrow.

I had two Build 1010s, gps was crap and they both had random shutdowns but odin one click worked fine the two times I used it.

Google Now on Your Rooted Ice Cream Sandwich Phone- Partial Voice Working

The Jack Of Clubs found this thread containing working Google Now. I installed it and it works great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
They have partial voice search now.

So I couldn't wait and installed Google Now. I got it installed fine but when I click on the search box i get a "Network error, please check your network connection and try again." I don't get great reception at my office so I'll have to test it out on my wifi when I get home. The search box works good and brings up the tiles as results, it just doesn't bring up the home screen with all the personalized tiles.

Working fine on my end. Running paranoidandroid... ported by me.
Its awesome... thanks for sharing!!

no voice.

Voice doesn't work at all but it does search hella fast and the cards are really nice. I found out that kevin hart is taller than me and where the closest kohl's shopping center was in about 3 seconds.

"Network error, please check your network connection and try again." says that no matter what my signal (including wifi) is when i open by search bar or app but it still works great.

Network Error
Running Yuma-Porn b40 and installed according to the instructions. Now getting the "Network Error" message. I am connected to Wi-Fi and downloading, so no problem with connection. Just a timing issue maybe?

There looks to be another apk that is suppose to correct the network error. I found it in another forum but it wouldn't install. I'll post my findings when I get off work.

Works like a charm! Awesome find!

Pony click on my sig picture it should take you to the thread...get yourself some new colors for you signature picture...this individual does awesome work ...he made my sig pic...he has kung fu with colors...

I tried this out Monday evening, besides the lack of voice search (kernel related AFAIK), it works great!
I have the gapps release from both the beta and release, weird thing is that Now is not included in the release but is in the beta package.... I wonder why?

Its working on JB's ICS rom. I am getting network erro, but i am getting the results. So i think its working with the error message

Hmm... isn't working for me with CM9. Tried every install method and I just don't have search anymore on my phone.

Is there a way to get this linked to the ICS voice search over network as opposed to trying to use a built-in voice search file that doesn't exist? (#1 reason voice search won't work).

It works great for me without even following the steps (editing the build.prop and what not).

Is there a way to fix GPS lock on Jelly Bean ?

Hi,
My GPS used to be locked within a second on stock ICS.
Now, I'm on Sky Jelly Bean, and I notice that it takes a long time to have GPS locked, and its accuracy is far from what we consider 'accurate'.
So is there a way to fix these GPS issues on Jelly Bean?
Thank you.

Install the AGPS patch in the dev section. It's never failed for me on any ROM I've used it on.

I just installed [Rom]Sky-JellyBean-4.1.2) Update 10.3 ((Base T10-(10/26/12)) GS3-Touchwiz--Vs--CM 10, and GPS wasnt locking either.

I downloaded the Google Specific 3.1 below, and GPS immediately locked:

Actually, I spoke too soon. It looks like the patch was working since it immediately locked on. I went out for a drive and used the NAV, and initially it was working, but after a few minutes it began to drop out and report "GPS Signal Lost"...
From your screenshot, it looks like you can see at least 12 satellites with fairly decent signal.
I am using a different app, and mine seem to vary between 0, 2, 5, and 7... Constantly changing. Wish mine looked like yours.
I've already wiped everything, and going back to stock using both Kies and Odin methods, but still have the same issue.
Read somewhere to wipe the external SD and eemc, so going to try that now.
Hopefully its not the phone.
What app is that screenshot from? Want to try it.
Thanks!

It's called "GPS Test". Pretty simple app.

[Q] My Wifi Speeds Are Atrocious! Soultions?

Running on Cyanogenmod 10 12/3 Nightly.
Ok here's my conundrum. My router has up to a 300mb/s burst & my speeds haven't suffered on any other device except my phone. The odd thing is the fact that my wifi is listed as having 72mb/s speed. See screenshot below...

Here's the kicker: A speed test on my laptop is just fine. See screenshot below...
BUT a speed test on my phone? Trash...
It also turns off during sleep despite having the "always on" option checked.
What do I do?

first of all 74Mbps is insanely fast, but I bet your internet provider is not even close to match that speed. What's your actual internet speed? I guess its 20Mbps from your laptop speed test. Now why you got such a low download speed on the phone is probably because someone was downloading something on different machine which took all the bandwidth or because you are on a nightly ROM lol.
I just made a test on my HOX and I got 9.607Mbps down and 3.892Mbps up. My laptop got 9.77Mbps down and 2.86Mbps up.

Have you had this issue before or are you just starting with CM10? Long story short, I've had the same issues with CM10. At times, WiFI speeds are normal and everything works great, then all of the sudden it drops and becomes unusable. Sense-based ROMs work fine for me.

My internet speed is at 25mb/s cable. To the highlighted I'm the only one using the wifi, that's impossible.

Yeah it's only been since I flashed CM10. This issue hasn't been recognized yet or something? Because from my searches it seems as though I'm in the minority & may just be SOL. I hope that isn't the case...

I've had this problem as well. Running CM10 "stable"

Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989203&page=6&highlight=wifi. A few of us reported having different issues with WiFi in CM10, my last post says that it was fixed with one of the recent nightlies but I spoke too soon, a day after using it the problem came back.
There's also this issue report http://code.google.com/p/cm9-msm8960/issues/detail?id=134 but I don't see a final solution yet.

Which ROM fixes the most issues with 12.1?

I recently updated both my OPO's from 12s to stock 12.1-YOG4PAS3JL and there seems to be more bugs than fixes. Which ROM has addressed the following issues...
#1 In-call mic quality: This is the worst. My phone is nearly useless for a phone call unless i use speakerphone/headset.
#2 GPS/Compass calibration: I've tried calibrating apps on both phones but they still aren't as accurate as they used to be.
#2 Truedialer removed: I've tried all the techniques to remove/replace it and none of them work or cause rebooting.
#3 Headset volume: quite low, sounds like it's at 30% when at 100% on the slider
#4 Random reboots: Just yesterday i used "OK Google" to set a 3hr timer and as soon as the timer started it rebooted the phone. Another instance when it randomly rebooting while locked in my pocket. It seems to randomly reboot about 2-3x/week
#5 Bluetooth: I stream Pandora/Spotify/AIMP/etc over bluetooth in my vehicle. Pandora via the radios "Pandora" function (not sure what this is called, phone shows "Pandora - Accessory" when streaming) works flawlessly. But if simply using bluetooth connectivity it will show song info for the very first song and never update again. When i was on XNPH44S track info would fail to update maybe 1 out of 6 times.
I did completely clean installs on both phones. I'm tired of updating and getting everything reinstalled and back in order like i like. I just want something that works.

I've tried nearly all the ROMs including Resurrection Remix, and I find CM13.0 by sultanxda the smoothest and the most stable one.

I'm just going to give CM13 by sultanxda a shot. Backing up now...

Just seen that AdAway isn't working due to a bug. Ugh! I think i'll wait on CM13 until thats fixed.
