GPS Location Wrong - T-Mobile LG G2x

So I used
Eagle
Eagle kang
Miui
Phoenix
And they all give me wrong GPS locations...it gives me a street over from where I really am
Any suggestions?

GPS In Bionix ROMS camera app

Does anyone know why the gps gets activated in the stock camera apps on Bionix Frost and Bionix Black Ice?
Also I can't figure out how to disable it. There seems to be no option to disable it. Can we? If so how.
Thanks

I could've sworn this happened on the stock roms too, but are you talking about gps getting enabled even though you had it off, or the gps icon popping up

I'm talking about it getting enabled even though it is off. And there is no way to turn it off in the app.

Main settings/location and security/ then uncheck everything in my location. That should do the trick

Ok..that makes sense now. I recently enabled my location in setting for the Weather Bug app.
THANK YOU

GPS not locking

GPS no longer locks after flashing black ice. Should I be using the old original GPS fix? BTW...best ROM ever...Krylon/Team Whiskey rocks!!!

I'm actually having this problem as well with bionix frost. Everything else works flawlessly.

I think I'm gonna apply the old fix later and it should work ok. I'll post the result regardless.

I applied the sgstools fix, enabled the gps, but nav still would not lock on. So I opened maps, let it find my location and settle in until it was accurate, the opened up navigation and it worked fine... No more "Searching for GPS"
Might work for you also...and it's an easy fix.

Thanks for the tip...I tried your method and it seemed to fix my problem...I just took a drive and so far so good.

I see that other people in the black ice thread are having the same problem but I can't share your fix with them as I don't have enough posts for permission in the developer theads...would you share this with them? Thanks again

i searched for sgs tools on the market and it only came up with the capitavate sgs tools. is this the program which you guys are using?
That is correct

Hmm. This fix worked for a few minutes, but when I restart the phone, no more gps lock/navigation. Weird. Thanks for the info.

for future reference, check out this thread:

i followed the instructions using launcher pro and set it to "auto" and it seemed to work. i still have to wait a while to get a lock sometimes, but thats tmobiles fault. they suck in my area. hope this helps anyone else having this problem.
EDIT: It only works once. does anyone else have the locking problem for bionix frost? i can try to reflash my phone and see if that fixes it.

Google maps always works best for me in big cities.

For me its been stock using Google navigation.

I'm fairly certain the application used is irrelevant, the GPS gets the same result no matter what. ROM might influence it, but I've never noticed a difference.
I vote for Google Maps in any case.

Stock navigation app?

Do anyone know where I can find the stock g2x navigation app? Since flashing roms I lost the app and rely misses it.

You mean the TeleNav app? You don't like Google Navigation better?
Sent from my LG G2x
I remember the icon was a blue arrow and I believe it's called Navigation.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Oh yeah that is google navigation. You should be able to download it from the market or I think it's built into the Maps app.

Okay thanks
