GPS help on infuse with CM10 8/16 Butter - MTD - Samsung Infuse 4G

I was wondering if anyone can help me fix the gps on my infuse. Right now it detects 0 satellites(0 in view/0 in use). Does this mean the hardware is faulty or is it a software issue? Any help would be appreciated.

This is a known issue.. the right place to ask this would have been in the CM10 q&a thread.. actually in the last 2 pages there is a probable fix .
A little searching before posting helps..
I like the red ones!

I've looked into that thread and quite a few others. Unfortunately, no solution has worked so far, I'm still not picking up any satellite.

It would be best to keep questions in that thread.. no need to clutter the forum with extra threads.. if any one will know, it will be someone in there

[FIX] GPS Issues

Hello,
I have your fix to all GPS issues.
NOTE: You will need to repeat this every time you flash a NEW ROM. You only need to do this ONCE per rom.
NOTE: If you GPS works DO NOT DO THIS!
Step A) Download and install : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&feature=search_result
Step B) Run it
Step C) Clear AGPS data.
Step D) Let the gps status LOCK! Make sure NOT to skip this step. Let it do a FULL lock.
Step E) Go into maps and profit.

Um - that means it's not a fix. A patch/workaround/method/etc. might be a better term. Not saying it doesn't work, but please stop calling things like this a fix. It's a fix when it actually fixes the problem.
and it's already been discussed as a "fix" in numerous other threads...

you should do a search and thanks the 7 other post with the same exact info and who knows even donate to the creator.
as for the OP saying let the haters hate.... not really hating but its just annoying. What if every member posted the same thread with all the same info.... and top it off put it in the wrong section. i know im exaggerating but it would be annoying and it also hurts actual development related ones.... just something to think about

Nope - not at all. Glad you got your GPS working. If you had looked, you would have seen that there are plenty of other threads on this issue and probably would have already gotten your nav working sooner.
Like it was just said - having yet another thread on this issue doesn't make it any better of a "fix." That's not hating, that's pointing out the obvious.
Thanks a bunch dude...worked great for me....no haters here.....man the things that come about when your just trying to help people out with a problem or a fix.

Well I havent seen this yet.
To the OP, thank you very much for posting.
OP, notice my avatar? Its been like that for over a year. Lots of haters here bro, just do your thing. Thanks again.
So many whiney little *****es... Its not up to you to worry about which section its posted in, if you feel its in the wrong one, report it and ask for it to be moved. Dont start a public flame war... so lame.
BTW, search was down for a while, so it wouldnt have mattered. Search always seems to be down on this forum. So you cant blame him for posting if the search function that everyone cries about is always broke.
HGH
this doesn't work for me on BAMF 1.5 or Tesla coil... So far nothing lets me GPS lock closer than 2300 meters without a 5 min or longer wait in maps.

Why is it the wrong section???
Yes it has been posted all over the ICS ROM threads so it might be a little superfluous but all of those are in this section, so are you saying they should have been posted somewhere else as well?
While this particular thread is unnecessary it is absolutely relevant to the development of ICS ROMs and therefore it belongs in the development section.
Okay, everybody relax...
This ICS camera thingy has everyone on edge
Everyone's just trying to help... including all three of you... so lets just keep the fuses a little longer and try to work with each other. Let the thread be... if it's not popular, it will move down on its own...
Cheers
Original thread says it works in most of the HTC phones. but I want to be sure about that from HTC desire s devs from this forum.

Some people are trying to help.
Others are flaming each other in other ICS threads not to post the fix etc.
Just chill and be patient.

I am totally relaxed about the camera thing, I don't even use the camera so I don't really care when it gets fixed. What I am not relaxed about us people constantly telling other people they are posting in the wrong section when they are not . This guy was trying to help and got hit on.

I didn't hit him anyway, it was just a hint, i even thanked him.
The thing is that the thread is for sure important for our developers, but got nothing to do with desire s development itself, it's a thread for a different device.
That's why it should be posted in the general section and not in the development section.
For sure i can understand that he posted it here, i also once opened a thread here that should have been at the general section and i was aware of it, but that's a different story with another background.

You missunderstood me, i meant my hint about the wrong section
Before this thread has been opened it was already posted at the relevant threads and i'm sure the developers already knew it before it where posted by anyone here.
And btw there is atm one ics with working cam released, nexx just started and anounced it, but didn't release it yet
Guys, this is turning into a mud-slinging match. The thread in question has been rendered useless by all this enmity.
No matter which of you wins the argument, this thread is lost for ever, as it is no longer serving the purpose for which it was opened.
Just let it slide. Nobody wins anything here, even if one of you manages to prove a point.

ROM reviews

Post ROM reviews here.
Start with a Title listing all ROMs, this will help to check post quickly.
Everyone can't test each and every ROM available here. So whoever have tried as much ROMs, please post the reviews about it. Compare with it other ROMs those which you've used.
Compare on the basis of Speed, Battery life and bugs/errors, FCs, etc.
Do recommend a ROM on your own experience.
First, this should be posted in the general section. Second, we already have a sticky discussion thread about ROMs! (No offence)
Yeah, we have another thread, but if this one goes the way I think he wants it would be a different type of thread

@Jason-EX: This thread is regarding sharing of Own experience of all ROMs which one may've used.
@stubborn_d0nkey: You are right.
::urpose of this thread:::​
1) To know all pros and cons at one place.
2) It is kinda difficult to conclude from reading all posts from a specific ROM which errors are there, how one and his G3 feels about it.
3) Other threads get jumbled and cluttered by questions of members and their queries.
:::My Intention:::​
I want to try other ROMs(gonna be on vacation now!), but when I see Not Working list: May be more, some FCs... I and every member gets confused what all it have and not.
:::Rules of this thread:::​
1) Only reviews should be posted.
2) No queries and questions regarding any thing (do post and ask in specific thread).
3) No error and bug reporting.
4) Don't make any post which may humiliate others.
:::IMP:::​
All ROMs are great.
ROMs' usability depends upon personal use (such as Testing, give a try, daily use, etc).
However if MOD finds this thread to be unnecessary or posted in wrong section, he can Delete or Move thread. I don't mind (no offence!). MOD can do what he feels right.

Galaxy S3 and Ad-hoc on a PC
Hi all,
Unless I haven't searched very well, which is unlikely, I haven't found how to use a galaxy S3 with ad-hoc on a pc. I have tried a galaxy S2 wpa_supplicant but with no success.
Do any one have an idea of how to do ?
Thx in dvance

Well this isn't not the place to ask.
Btw, u can try Virtual Router on your laptop and can access PC's internet connection via WiFi from ur phone.
Let me know.

Sorry, it was my first post in xda forum...
I'm using Linux so I can't use Virtual Router. Ans I can't use my laptop as an AP cause it uses an Intel 3945ABG chip. The only way for me to have a wifi access is ad-hoc. I've been using it with an iphone, I didn't imagine one second it could be a problem with Android.
Thankx again
I don't think a thread of this kind is of some help
I have observed in g3 community that all the people have different opinions of various roms and hence most of the reviews won't be transparent
The second thing is that roms get updated frequently but the reviews won't
The third thing is that the reviews are posted as replies and most of them well be seperated by other off topic posts like mine and all above ones so it is difficult for those looking for the best ROM

Try giving a thought for my second and third opinions like contacting moderator to delete useless posts or something like that
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA
If the open reserved an extra post or two he could have used them to link to posts with reviews for gone and organize them
What's the use of thread if no one is going to post a review
Contact the moderator and ask him whether it is useful or not and Also ask whether it needs to be posted in general section or not
If he finds it useful ask him to make it a sticky thread
Also ask him to remove all the useless posts and reserve some more posts

[Q] Great Big Yellow Droid Binary Downloads?!?

Well I turned off my phone today to stop a download of some binary that started while I had my phone in my shirt pocket at the doctors office today. Anyone have any clues as to how that download started and what it was? I stopped it mid download by powering off the phone and rebooted before it could actually start installing whatever it was. The phone rebooted just fine and is working with no apparent problems but I'd sure like to prevent that from happening again!
Wrong forum. Belongs in the Q&A section.

Ok so I apparently did something with my nipple to put the Infuse into download mode in my shirt pocket. Guess I'll just have to be more careful about that in the future.

Well I'm no stranger to the search function but from the title of my thread it should have been quite obvious that I was so Newbish that I didn't even know I was in Download Mode. Just telling me that would have given me the keywords to search on. Sometimes a little nudge isn't too much to ask.

[q] gps problem!

What's up? I don't know if everyone have this problem. When i had my atrix2 with the default ICS, the GPS was working perfectly. It was able to find satellites in less than 10 sec onds and also it could connect to all of them. Then i decided to install the 4.2.2 ROM and the problems began. the GPS could find the satellites but once it finds them, it takes 2min to connect to half of themI started looking in forums about a way to fix this problem and found some guides that give the same solution: change the gps.conf values or replace the gps_driver file and enable its permissions but those things haven't solved the problem.
When i flash my cellphone using the RSD to the ICS again, the GPS works normally. I think the problem doesn't come from the gps.conf values because the original ICS just shows NTP_SERVER=pool.ntp.org and it works fine.
Has anybody experienced something similar? I prefer to use the 4.2.2 roms but I use the GPS a lot.
I'd appreciate if anyone can give me a solution.
Thanks.

its common issue. If you did go through the forums properly there is a simple app called gps status and fix available on playstore for free. That did work for most of them and me then why not you?

Nothing? A less than 30 second search turned up this:

Also, which ROM are you on? You'll need to thoroughly read the op of which ever ROM you're on because many have known issues and if I'm not mistaken GPS is one of them.
