Wonky GPS on Skyrocket - General Questions and Answers

Hey all - most recently I used Embryo (ICS) and as of yesterday I'm on R4INS' AOKP JB build and with both I've had issues with my GPS. I haven't actually used it successfully with this install yet, but this stretches back even to a few of the more vanilla CM9/AOSP/AOKP ROMs I've tried. I've seen the "aGPS fix" thread which I'll try tomorrow, but has anyone else had this issue?
With Embryo, Facebook would never know where I was although the map could usually lock on after a few seconds. So far with this JB ROM, I have absolutely nothing working with GPS, no Facebook, Friendcaster, Maps, etc.
Thanks all...loving the new ROM but the lack of GPS is disconcerting.

Confused about my gps

I currently am running cm7 on my inspire without a problem,gps is great and locks within seconds of launching maps and or navigation. Recently I wished to return to a sense rom, to my surprise any sense rom be it cognition, tpc, etc (i tried almost all of them) renders my gps useless. Not only does it not work but the gps icon doesn't even appear. I'm experienced at flashing roms so I always wipe properly and do not restore anything besides my apps. Any idea why this is happening?

You need to reflash the radio.

[Q] GPS Not working on Jellywiz ROM?

I've been having some issues with GPS working on certain ROMS. I just flashed Jellywiz RLS 13 and everything works except GPS. It won't find my location. I just had Beans 5 and I had no issues with GPS. I had flashed Liquid Smooth earlier today and had the same GPS issues. Wouldn't find my location. Is this a known issue with these ROMS? Is there something wrong with my phone? I have no problem with GPS on stock either.
Any input would be great!
Thanks.
You can try "Faster GPS" from the market. Works good with many custom ROMS.

[Q] Bluetooth issue with VRBLK1

I installed this latest jellybean leak for my Verizon GS3.
Pairing is not a problem nor is auto connect. My problem is the audio is completely garbled and inaudible during voice phone calls from my car.
I have an Infinity G37.
I did not have any problems before I flashed this leak Prior to this, I had flashed CyanogenMod 10 unofficial nightly builds with no problems. Prior to this, I had also used the latest verizon release for ICS with no problems.
The phone (as currently flashed to the jellybean leak VRBLK1) pairs and works perfectly with my wife's BMW Z4.
I have reset, unpaired, cleared the cache, etc and I just cant get this to work. I have tried different radios with no luck. I have downloaded and tried different bluetooth fixes from the marketplace with no luck.
My only option is either flashing back to ICS, or CyanogenMod 10 unofficial, but I prefer not to do that because other than this problem, everything else is perfect.
I have searched the forums and am unable to get an older version of Bluetooth Share (Would like to replace 4.1.1 with 4.0.4) which i suspect may fix this problem.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I do a lot of calls in my vehicle and we have a hands free ordinance in our city.
Nothing?
Anyone? Anyone? Anyone?
You've got it: 4.1.1 issue. No idea on a fix, I'm back to ICS as a result. Isn't a modem issue it seems (unless interaction between JB builds and particular modems), seems to be a JB issue (reported across phones with lots of different vehicles).

[Q] GPS not working on JB

Hi all, I've tried a couple of JB's ROM, but in the both every time I turn gps on and start google maps, the radio signal goes off. Any idea?
Thank you
If you are running sense-based JB rom, there seems to be an issue with google maps with that. Try a different GPS program like sygic, tomtom, route66 or whatever.
If you are running an AOSP based JB rom like CM10 I dunno, works fine for me...

[Q] GPS causes all radio to freeze?

sup xda..
I've been experiencing a fault which I couldn't find on any other threads, but if I'm missing it please direct me to it.
First thing's first... I've been running CM10 stable, tried the default radio and various others.
So this is what happens - turn on navigation or maps, and it'll work for a moment, give me directions and locate me. 10-15seconds later, my position on the map has frozen and "GPS signal lost" is muttered. Reception on 4G and any network connection is lost as well. It'll stay out of action for about a minute, then pick it up again, and the whole failure starts over.
As mentioned ive tried various radios, the symptoms are the same.
I've tried a clean slate of CM10, the various nightlies etc to no avail, same problem.
Today I tried RebelROM (02122013.. android 4.1.1) - no issues! So I ask...
Has anyone else had this problem? Why might I be experiencing this on CM and not another ROM?
thanks
No one huh . Oh well I guess I'm one in a million.
