Funny, on stock I could never get a lock. Try this: set the GPS source to internal
Grab an app called GPS status
Run it and let it download the "aiding data" them reboot, relaunch it, seconds later you should have a lock.

What rom?

I'm having the exact same issues. I used to have trouble locking but now as soon as I enable gps my phone reboots. I'm gonna try wiping it clean tomorrow and running the dragon kernel to see if it helps. Running Bionix Reloaded (latest)

anyone know a quick fix without rebooting?

I too have instant locks on any stock based rom after updating my baseband. But, after flashing custom CM7/EB/ etc non stock roms i noticed it took a little longer to lock if it even locked. So i seen a post here on xda about going into the maps app via settings/ applications/ manage applications. Then clear cache/data. Then going back into navigation or maps app i would receive instant locks again. Sorry I dont have a link to that thread but thats what helped me. it takes a few extra seconds to do that but i liked it better than rebooting my phone which took longer.

Help get wifi calling app to work

Hey so recently I deleted my wifi calling app and decided that I want it back. I have a titanium backup of it but it won't install it. I searched for the kineto apk and installed that and the app opens but quickly closes after a few seconds.
Does it matter which rom I have? If so I am currently using xboarders tweaked 2.3.3 rom
Thanks

It should be working since that rom had that in it to begin with. you might want to try to fix permissions and wipe cache. If that doesn't work I believe you could just re-flash the rom right over yours. that should re-install the wifi calling.

[Q] Problem with accelerometer!!

I have a rooted Nexus S i9023 running CM9 RC1 with Air Kernel... I usually have auto rotate turned off because I don't like it! But then a few days back my device used to auto rotate automatically with the rotate being turned off.. It solved itself after a few days so I didn't bother. But it's just stuck in landscape mode and will not switch no matter what I do! It happened while I was using KangyU also and it happened with it also 3 times. Everytime I need to perform a factory reset and flash a new ROM and then it solves :/ I used androsensor and it does show a value for Accelerometer but my phone simply does not rotate! Is there a problem with my accelerometer? Do i need to give it to the service center or can I do something that will solve it? Any help appreciated
If doing a factory reset/ reflash fixes it. Then it is not a hardware issue.
Not factory reset persay. I need to flash a new ROM for it to go normal

This is probably a problem with your Kernel or ROM, please flash a stock ROM to ensure that the accelerometer is fine. If you are afraid you might lose anything make a backup or so.
Okay yeah AiRKernel might be the problem. Thanks I'll try it and let you know. Thanks!

I went stock.. But AndroSensor is still showing the same reading it was showing on CM9.. And the auto-rotation bug only comes after a few weeks into any ROM.. Also everytime that occurs I get a prompt saying
" Complete action using
Clock
Tune In Radio "
Everytime I get that pop-up I'm stuck on landscape for infinity. So can it be an app problem? It's happened so far on 3 ROM's I've used (KangyU, CM9, Paranoiandroid)
so I doubt whether it is a ROM issue. Maybe a Kernel issue because I've used AirKernel on all 3 of them
Could be either I suppose. Not sure how either could cause it though
The sensor read out should be the same no matter what rom is on there. That is normal. The app itself tells you what the read outs from each sensor should be as well
My point. But what I mean is, If readings are the same then the behaviour should be same as well right? Where is the accelerometer exactly located?

It happened on Stock also :/ stock ics stock kernel. Same popup :/
Accelerometer issue?

If a new rom and kernel didn't fix it then it might be hardware.
Strangest thing happened. I uninstalled Tune In Radio and voila auto rotate back! So the app was the issue! But any idea what might have possessed that app to do so? :/

Thanks. I will give it a try soon!
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.
I too use jellywiz with working gps

Is any stock good? Even jelly bean stock by Scott? Or should not be ics stock? Thanks in advance!

Sorry keep asking. After flashing back to stock, should I start dirty flashing when flashing to other rooms or clean is fine?

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?

Help with ICS port P920

Hey community im in a bit of pickle and need some help on how to get out of it. I have a P920 which i have flashed with XBSA's ICS port. All went fine, i have then rooted the phone and installed TWRP recovery on to it. So far so good but heres where the problems begin. I have installed the several different custom ROMS available for ICS but i have a battery issue with all of them. The battery has juice left in it but after 5 mins or so of using the phone the battery drops to 1% then switches off. Thats the first issue, the 2nd issue is that im not able to change the clock widget on the lockscreen. Even though i change it in the settings when i lock the screen its still the same widget on there (London time and Seoul time widget). Help please if anybody can
Did u try wiping battery stats

No i haven't tried that, is that done through TWRP? Im having issues with downloading apps from the play store as well, i can log in but it doesnt let me download anything, keeps giving me an error plus im getting no network signal in areas where i used to have full signal when i was on gingerbread. Might have to downgrade to gingerbread again at this rate
OK the signal is only a baseband problem and yes wiping is done through recovery

Slow to show and load recent app on RLS6

I'm running the Hyperdrive RLS6 ROM with the latest Zeus kernel and, recently, the recent apps list has been very slow to load and recognize my touches. It wasn't like this right after flashing the ROM so I'm guessing it's due to an app update, but I can't seem to trace what it is. Nothing obvious in BetterBatteryStats and nothing I kill seems to improve the speed. Just to give you an example, in a recent test it took 13 seconds for the tablet to even highlight the app I had selected and switch to it.
Oh, and sometimes the app that opens is the wrong one altogether.
Otherwise, everything on the tablet behaves normally and, once the recent apps list recognizes what I've selected, it loads rather quickly. Any idea what app or setting might affect this?

I'm running RLS6 too, and I was getting that delay too. So I reflash the rom using Stock kernel, and it's running smooth now. But you may also want to try "fstrim" to try to remove some of the lag.
My advice is:
1. Use Lagfix "fstrim" ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix) and trim /system /data and /cache then reboot.
2. If it doesnt help, reflash using stock kernel (full wipe).

Thanks. I was used to lagfix on my ASUS Transformer tablet but haven't needed to do this since getting my Note. I'll give it a shot.
Whoa, I get "FSTRIM: Operation not supported on transport endpoint" for all mount points. I know this used to work on previous kernels though, as I mentioned earlier I never found it to be necessary. Can someone verify if the latest Zeus kernel supports this?
