Hi,
I'm on the latest rom (but problem was there also with previous version), and gps works like a charm after a reboot (with agps data downloaded, fix in house takes <10sec).
The problem is that after a while gps is not started by any application (maps, gps test, gps status), and there is no way to restart it. I tried to reset the gps, to stop & restart the service...
The only way to restore it is to reboot the tablet.
Any idea?
Stock rom, no root

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.
Hello all,
I'm having this problem with my HTC Desire S.
Everytime I start an app that uses my GPS, and tries to get a fix. Like maps, runkeeper or GPS Status. I lose my data connection.
I can go to my settings then. And in my settings its still turned on, but I dont have the little icon on top, neither do I have an internet connection.
I can turn off my data connection then, en turn it back on. And then it reconnects again, and both my GPS and data connection are working.
Untill I exit the app that uses my gps, and if after an hour or so I use my GPS again, the problem repeats itself.
Anyone else had this problem and / or know a fix for it?
I've used the search, but nothing came up.
Hello,
I had the same problem but it resolved with GPS TEST application from market.
Turn on GPS and mobiile network then run app Gps Test and from settings menu clear a-gps then update Gps and wait to lock gps to satellites.
After that you can use some navigation software such iGO, Sygic .. and so ..
I solved my problem with this way.
Hi,
So i thought to get a better gps sensing i should use GPS Aids donate version. Now it seems native method for GPS sensing has stopped working. Location cannot be found.
Should i factory reset to get default GPS settings or just flash modem?
flash your fw again, and make a backup before experimenting next time
I can't connect to any WiFi routers for some reason. It will say connecting then saved and then connecting again. I'm also having isues with GPS lock. On maps it literally shows me jumping around between several different buildings a block ot two away. Should I do a ROM reflash? I'm on synergy ROM.

Go back to an ICS rom - get lock and then flash back to synergy
Do a clean flash of Synergy. A clean flash includes formatting system. The maps and location apps are in system/apps. This problem is usually accociated with corrupted maps and location apps and google framework. Alternately you can also try this fix although it will not fix any other problems flash related.

I'm on Synergy r73 and initially had a bunch of GPS lock issues. It would work intermittently. Sometimes it would lock then halfway along the route it would tell me I'm on a road that was several blocks away. Sometimes it wouldn't lock at all, not picking up a single satellite. I was close to a complete reformat but then I followed the directions in that link posted above and also used GPS Status and did all the calibrations.
It didn't take at first so I went back, cleared data on maps under applications manager, unchecked Standalone GPS services, unchecked Google location services, backed out, went back to location services and rechecked Google location services and Standalone GPS services, ran GPS status calibrations again, rebooted, then ran GPS Status calibrations again.
I probably didn't need to go through all of that, but after doing all of that GPS Status showed I was picking up satellites again. Hope that helps with the GPS issues.
As far as wifi, it gets weird every now and again, but I just turn it off and back on and all of a sudden it works well again.
Please someone tell the solution for gps issue. Whenever i start gps and open maps it works ok till here but once i start navigation to reach my destination this issue occurs and it saya searching for gps.
I was on cm13 for 2 mnths that too 2 mnths back and i received a jio sim which was not working on cm13 so i had to downgrade to cm11. When i was on cm13 gps was working great from the day i purchases device but one day i was in mumbai and was stuck in heavy traffic, suddenly gps started to show issues as i mentioned (was on cm13).
I came back to my place and flashed cm11(clean flash). But couldnt solve the issue for me.
I have tried all the apps suggested to calibrate gps but nothing worked, tried Agps cache wipe and then update it but still no luck. I have tried colos os as well but the issue persist there also.
Please suggest me a proper solution for this for cm11 as i am using jio sim and which is working on cm11 only for me, so i cannot flash another rom.
I am in hurry bcoz i have to drive back to another city so need my gps as i rely on it always.
1. ensure that you have KK firmware. It's there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/ref-oneplus-one-modem-collection-t2858734
2. Try using proper gps.conf (Fastergps in Google Play is UI for it. Specify your loc)
3. Install Statusgps and manually reset and download AGPS data. Wait for GPS lock then (can be around 5 minutes)
After AGPS download and first position lock, your GPS will remain in "Warm" state (instead of "Cold") and you will be able to fix in around 5 seconds.
"Cold" fix takes around 50 seconds to 3 minutes. It's my info, yours can be different.
After first gps lock, don't reboot your phone. Check GPS lock time at next day, it should be around 10 seconds (I have 5 sec). I use Status GPS to get lock time.
P.S. I was at vacation some week ago, and my GPS was broken also. It was very bad
